72 hours in Beijing
Traveling to China is no longer a luxury for many foreign passport holders. The Chinese government has permitted a 72-hour visa free policy that offers access to visitors from 53 countries including the US, France and Austria. Let’s start with the capital of China, Beijing. Here’s a pick of the best in Beijing.
Mutianyu Great Wall
Your trip to Beijing isn’t really complete without seeing one of the “New Seven Wonders of the World” — the Great Wall of China. The Mutianyu section of the Great Wall is by far the most well-preserved of all. Taking a one-hour bus ride, Mutianyu would be your ideal location for a half-day of hiking away from the large crowds in the city. Also, the authorities have allowed tourists to paint graffiti on a specific section of the Great Wall since 2014. The Great Wall was designated (把……定名为) a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987.
Summer Palace
Located in northwestern Beijing, the Summer Palace is by far the city’s most well-preserved royal park. With its huge lake and hilltop views, the palace offers you a pastoral escape into the landscape of traditional Chinese paintings. The Summer Palace was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1998.
798 Art Zone
This would be on the top of my list! Named after the 798 factory that was built in the 1950s, the art zone is home to various galleries, design studios, art exhibition spaces, fashionable shops and bars. You could easily spend half your day wandering around the complex, feeling the contrast of the present and the past.
Sichuan Provincial Restaurant
While in Beijing, apart from trying the city’s best-known Peking duck, the Sichuan provincial restaurant is one of places where you can enjoy regional delicious food. It offers one of China’s eight great cuisines, Sichuan Cuisine, which ranges from Mapo tofu to spicy chicken.
1. When was the Summer Palace added to the UNESCO World Heritage List
A. In 1950. B. In 1987.
C. In 1998. D. In 2014.
2. Which place is the author’s first choice when visiting Beijing
A. Mutianyu Great Wall. B. 798 Art Zone.
C. Summer Palace. D. Sichuan Provincial Restaurant.
3. Who is the passage intended for
A. The tourists who prefer to travel for free.
B. The foreigners to stay in Beijing for 4 days.
C. The visitors coming from every corner of China.
D. The foreigners coming to Beijing for the first time.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。中国政府允许53个国家的游客可以在中国免签证停留72小时，本文推荐了在这3天里北京几个最值得去的地方。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Summer Palace”下文介绍的最后一句“The Summer Palace was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1998.(颐和园于1998年被列入联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录。)”可知，颐和园（The Summer Palace）是在1998年被列入联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录的。故选C。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据“798 Art Zone”下文介绍中的第一句“This would be on the top of my list! (这将会是我旅游清单中的第一个)”可知，798 Art Zone是作者旅游清单中的第一个目的地。由此可知，去北京旅游时，798 Art Zone会是作者的首选。故选B。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Traveling to China is no longer a luxury for many foreign passport holders. The Chinese government has permitted a 72-hour visa free policy that offers access to visitors from 53 countries including the US, France and Austria. Let’s start with the capital of China, Beijing. Here’s a pick of the best in Beijing. (对于许多持有外国护照的人来说，去中国旅游不再是一件奢侈的事。中国政府已经允许72小时免签证政策，包括美国、法国和奥地利在内的53个国家的游客入境。让我们从中国的首都北京开始。以下是精选出的北京的几个最好的去处。)”以及下文对北京四个景点的详细介绍可知，文章是为获得免签72小时的外国人推荐北京最好的几个去处；由此可知，本文是写给要在北京待3天的外国人。故选D。
B
In Scotland, 600,000 tonnes of food are thrown away every year. This amount of food, which could feed about 1.2 billion poor people, is almost a third of household (家庭的) waste. And food waste isn’t just a big problem in Scotland.
Money, time, and resources are often wasted by throwing away good food. It also causes very harmful greenhouse gas, which is perilous to the planet.
In the production stage, some foods do not enter the food chain for many reasons. Supermarkets usually care about the quality of food from farms. They often refuse strange-looking and unusually sized produce. However, they seem to forget that it is almost impossible to grow the perfect produce. Food waste at the consumption (消费) stage includes food going out of date and leftovers (剩饭) because of too much food. In households, even mostly fresh fruit and vegetables are thrown away.
In order to reduce food waste, here is what we can do:
Understand the terms “use by” and “best before” dates. “Use by” dates are there for your safety. It is dangerous to eat food after the use-by date and doing so risks your health. “Best before” dates tell you how long the food will be at its best quality. Once the food passes the date, it isn’t necessarily bad, but you should still check, just to be sure.
Every time you go shopping and bring back new food, put them at the back of your fridge and bring the food that will expire (到期) soon closer to the front. That way, you know what needs to be eaten first.
If you have any food that will expire soon, give it to charity if you aren’t going to eat it. They will really appreciate the food you have given.
4. What can we infer from Paragraph 1
A. Food waste is the biggest part of household waste.
B. Household waste hasn’t drawn much attention.
C. People in Scotland waste the most food.
D. Food waste is a common problem.
5. What does the underlined word “perilous” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Valuable. B. Dangerous. C. Different. D. Unnecessary.
6. What should people do to reduce food waste according to the text
A. Pick usually sized produce.
B. Improve the quality of farm produce.
C. Order produce directly from farmers.
D. Avoid buying too much food at a time.
7. What advice does the author offer to people
A. Buy food that will expire soon to reduce waste.
B. Place food carefully according to its expiry date.
C. Throw away food that passes the best-before date.
D. Give food that has passed its use-by date to charity.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这一篇说明文。文章主要就如何减少食物浪费提出了一些建议。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“In Scotland, 600,000 tonnes of food are thrown away every year. This amount of food, which could feed about 1.2 billion poor people, is almost a third of household (家庭的) waste. (在苏格兰，每年有60万吨食物被丢弃。这些可以养活12亿贫困人口的粮食几乎是家庭浪费的三分之一。)”可推知，食物浪费是一个普遍的问题。故选D项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Money, time, and resources are often wasted by throwing away good food. It also causes very harmful greenhouse gas,(金钱、时间和资源常常被浪费在扔掉好的食物上。它还会产生非常有害的温室气体)”可知，这些有害的温室气体对地球应该是危险的，所以可推测画线词是“危险的”意思。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Food waste at the consumption (消费) stage includes food going out of date and leftovers (剩饭) because of too much food. In households, even mostly fresh fruit and vegetables are thrown away.(消费阶段的食物浪费包括由于食物过多而导致的食物过期和剩饭。在家庭中，甚至大多数新鲜的水果和蔬菜都被扔掉了。)”可知，为了避免食物浪费，避免一次买太多的食物。故选D项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Every time you go shopping and bring back new food, put them at the back of your fridge and bring the food that will expire (到期) soon closer to the front.(每次你去购物并带回新的食物时，把它们放在冰箱的后面，把即将过期的食物放在靠近前面的地方。)”可知，作者建议根据食物的保质期小心放置食物。故选B项。
C
The world may have a new supercontinent within 200 million to 300 million years as the Pacific Ocean shrinks and closes.
Researchers at Curtin University in Australia and Peking University in China used a supercomputer to model the evolution of Earth’s tectonic plates (地质构造板块) and the formation of a future supercontinent. Their findings were published in the journal National science Review.
“Over the past two billion years, Earth’s continents have collided (相撞) together to form a supercontinent every 600 million years, known as the supercontinent cycle. This means that current continents are due to come together again in a couple of hundred million years’ time,” said lead author Dr. Chuan Huang, a research fellow in Curtin’s Earth Dynamics Research Group and the School of Earth and Planetary Sciences.
The team’s simulation showed that due to the fact that Earth has been cooling for billions of years since its formation, the thickness and strength of the tectonic plates beneath the oceans have reduced over time. As a result, the formation of a new supercontinent is more likely to happen by the closing up of the Pacific Ocean. Reducing by a few centimeters per year, the Pacific Ocean’s current reach of 10,000 kilometers will close up in less than 300 million years.
“The resulting new supercontinent has already been named Amasia because some believe that the Pacific Ocean will close when America collides with Asia. Australia is also expected to play a role in this important Earth event, first colliding with Asia and then connecting America and Asia once the Pacific Ocean closes,” Huang said.
Changes in the distribution of continents and oceans will cause changes in climates, “particularly when ocean currents are stopped by continental collision, or new ocean currents are formed when continents break apart,” said study coauthor Zheng-Xiang Li, distinguished professor in Curtin’s School of Earth and Planetary Sciences. “Earth, as we know, will be completely different when Amasia forms. The sea level is expected to be lower, and the vast interior (内陆) of the supercontinent will be very dry with high daily temperature ranges.”
Researchers expect more earthquakes as the continental plates collide. Surrounded by a new super ocean, the newly formed supercontinent will also have decreased biodiversity.
Scientists are still trying to understand Earth’s supercontinent cycle, which is driven by heat and gravity. The research team wants to establish how Earth’s tectonic plates started and when the first continents formed, as well as what kicked off the supercontinent cycle.“We are only starting to look at the entire Earth system, from its core to its atmosphere, as a closely linked system that evolved together,”Li said.
8. What leads to the formation of the new supercontinent
A. The rising temperature of the Earth. B. The expansion of the Pacific Ocean.
C. The reduced strength of the tectonic plates. D. The appearance of many new tectonic plates.
9. What is believed by some scientists about the new supercontinent
A. The involving parts. B. Its climate pattern.
C. The way it breaks apart. D. Its distance from Australia.
10. What will probably happen to the newly formed supercontinent
A. There will be a rise in the sea level.
B There will be lots of water in its interior.
C. The variety of its living things will be reduced.
D. Its temperature will stay the same all year around.
11 What does the last paragraph mainly want to show
A. The entire Earth system faces an uncertain future.
B. The origin of the supercontinent cycle is hard to trace.
C. The Earth’s supercontinent cycle will pose a big threat.
D. There is more to discover about the supercontinent cycle.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。随着太平洋的缩小和闭合，在2亿道3亿年内世界上可能会出现一个新的超大陆。研究人员使用超级计算器模拟了地球地壳构造板块的演化以及未来超大陆的形成。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The team’s simulation showed that due to the fact that Earth has been cooling for billions of years since its formation, the thickness and strength of the tectonic plates beneath the oceans have reduced over time.As a result, the formation of a new supercontinent is more likely to happen by the closing up of the Pacific Ocean.(该团队的模拟显示，由于地球自形成以来已经冷却了数十亿年，海洋下方构造板块的厚度和强度随着时间的推移而减少。因此，一个新的超大陆的形成更有可能发生在太平洋闭合的时候。)”可知，构造板块的强度降低导致了新超大陆的形成。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段““The resulting new supercontinent has already been named Amasia because some believe that the Pacific Ocean will close when America collides with Asia. Australia is also expected to play a role in this important Earth event, first colliding with Asia and then connecting America and Asia once the Pacific Ocean closes,” Huang said.(由此产生的新超级大陆已经被命名为亚玛西亚，因为一些人认为，当美洲与亚洲碰撞时，太平洋将关闭。预计澳大利亚也将在这一重要的地球事件中发挥作用，首先与亚洲碰撞，然后在太平洋关闭时连接美洲和亚洲。”)”可知，关于这个新的超大陆，一些科学家认为会包含更多部分。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Surrounded by a new super ocean, the newly formed supercontinent will also have decreased biodiversity.(被新的超级海洋包围，新形成的超级大陆也将减少生物多样性)”可知，新形成的超大陆上，生物的种类会减少。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Scientists are still trying to understand Earth’s supercontinent cycle, which is driven by heat and gravity. The research team wants to establish how Earth’s tectonic plates started and when the first continents formed, as well as what kicked off the supercontinent cycle. “We are only starting to look at the entire Earth system, from its core to its atmosphere, as a closely linked system that evolved together,” Li said.(科学家们仍在努力了解地球的超大陆循环，这是由热量和重力驱动的。研究小组想要确定地球的构造板块是如何开始的，第一块大陆是什么时候形成的，以及是什么开启了超大陆旋回。“我们才刚刚开始研究整个地球系统，从它的核心到它的大气层，作为一个紧密相连的系统一起进化，”李说)”可知，最后一段主要想表达关于超大陆旋回还有很多有待发现的地方。故选D。
D
Dangerous drivers can be anywhere. Drunk, sleepy and distracted driving can sometimes end tragically, notes Jeesung Lee, 17. This rising high-school junior in South Korea attends St. Johnsbury Academy Jeju. He wondered whether AI could help warn people of such drivers. A system he’s designed can now warn drivers when other drivers near them are acting dangerously.
Jeesung’s system can find cars traveling at dangerous speeds or suddenly switching lanes(车道). His computer program then sends a message to cellphones in the area. It can text drivers to watch out. Live video surveys many major roads around the globe, often for traffic reports, especially to assess what happened after an accident occurs, Jeesung notes. His AI-based program instead aims to head off accidents.
It monitors streaming video in real time. Jeesung trained his computer program with publicly available videos showing car accidents. He then tested his system using video it hadn’t seen. It correctly identified dangerous driving some 80, percent of the time, the teen now reports. It also sends out warnings less than two seconds after spotting risky driving.
You can’t get those warnings just yet. To do so, Jeesung wants to use GPS to pinpoint the locations of phone users. That would require permission from South Korea’s government, he notes. But the system should prove quick and reliable, Jeesung says. And it should cost little, he adds. It needs no additional hardware. And his system can be used with existing cameras.
Car accidents are a leading cause of death and injuries. Jeesung hopes a system like his can limit these. He aims to continue improving and testing the system in Jeju and eventually go global.
12. What caused Jeesung to design the system
A. Feeling sleepy in class. B. Playing computer games.
C. Seeing dangerous drivers. D. Acting wrongly after drinking.
13. What is the purpose of Jeesung’s design
A. To speed up cars. B. To stop accidents.
C. To report accidents. D. To survey main roads.
14. What can we infer from paragraph 4
A. The system will be cheap.
B. Existing hardware is of little use.
C. Jeesung can know the locations of phone users.
D. South Korea’s government has given Jeesung permission.
15 What can we learn about Jeesung
A. He is warm-hearted. B. He is ambitious.
C. He has a lot of money. D. He has an expensive car.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了一个十七岁的少年设计的一个系统，该系统可以在附近其他司机的危险行为时警告司机。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Dangerous drivers can be anywhere. Drunk, sleepy and distracted driving can sometimes end tragically, notes Jeesung Lee, 17. This rising high-school junior in South korea attends St. Johnsbury Academy Jeju. He wondered whether Al could help warn people of such drivers. A system he’s designed can now warn drivers when other drivers near them are acting dangerously.(危险的司机无处不在。17岁的Jeesung Lee指出，醉酒、困倦和分心驾驶有时会以悲剧告终。这位即将升入韩国济州圣约翰学院的高三学生就读于济州圣约翰学院。他想知道人工智能是否能帮助人们警惕这类司机。他设计的一个系统现在可以在附近其他司机的危险行为时警告司机。)”可知，Jeesung看到了危险的司机的危害，所以才设计这个系统。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It can text drivers to watch out. Live video surveys many major roads around the globe, often for traffic reports, especially to assess what happened after an accident occurs, Jeesung notes. His AI-based program instead aims to head off accidents.(Jeesung指出，实时视频调查了全球许多主要道路，通常用于交通报告，特别是评估事故发生后发生了什么。他的人工智能程序旨在防止事故发生。)”可知，他的人工智能程序旨在防止事故发生。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“But the system should prove quick and reliable, Jeesung says. And it should cost little, he adds. It needs no additional hardware. And his system can be used with existing cameras.(但Jeesung说，这个系统应该被证明是快速可靠的。他补充说，这样做的成本应该很低。它不需要额外的硬件。他的系统可以与现有的摄像机一起使用。)”可知，这个系统的成本很低，会很便宜。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Car accidents are a leading cause of death and injuries. Jeesung hopes a system like his can limit these. He aims to continue improving and testing the system in Jeju and eventually go global.(车祸是造成死亡和受伤的主要原因。Jeesung希望像他这样的系统可以限制这些。他的目标是继续在济州岛改进和测试该系统，并最终走向全球。)”可知，Jeesung希望自己设计的系统能够帮助减少车祸，并希望能够改进这个系统，并且将这个系统推向全世界。由此可知，Jeesung是个有抱负的人。故选B。

【答案】36. an 37. However
38. to build
39. to 40. thirties
41. which 42. flowed
43 traveling##travelling
44. exactly
45. has been put
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是沈括的生平和成就。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意：他是天文学、物理学、化学、地质学和医学方面的全面学者。scholar是可数名词，且表泛指，前面需加不定冠词，all-round是元音音素开头，因此不定冠词用an，故填an。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意：然而，沈括的声誉主要是在科学写作领域:他是第一个建立图形地图的人。由前面的“all-round scholar of astronomy, physics, chemistry, geology and medical science”和后面的“in the field of scientific writing ”可知，句子表示“然而，沈括的声誉主要是在科学写作领域”，因此空格处是“然而”，即however，位于句首，首字母大写，故填However。
【38题详解】
考查不定式。句意：然而，沈括的声誉主要是在科学写作领域：他是第一个建立图形地图的人。the first后用不定式作后置定语，因此空格处是不定式to build，故填to build。
【39题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：多亏了他的母亲，沈括在童年时就接受了正规的教育。根据语境可知，句子表示“多亏了他的母亲，沈括在童年时就接受了正规的教育”，thanks to是固定短语，意为“多亏了”，因此空格处是to，故填to。
【40题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意：30多岁时，沈阔经常梦想有个地方。由“in his”和空格处的提示thirty可知，空格处是in one’s thirties，意为“在某人三十几岁时”，因此空格处是thirties，故填thirties。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句的引导词。句意：在梦里，他爬上了一座小山，山顶上长满了色彩鲜艳的花和树。分析句子结构可知，句中用的“介词+关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词hill是物，因此空格处用关系代词which，故填which。
【42题详解】
考查时态。句意：清澈的河水在山脚下流淌，两边都是树。通篇时态是一般过去时，空格处用过去式flowed，故填flowed。
【43题详解】
考查省略和时态。句意：后来，当他四处旅行时，他震惊地发现一块土地，正是他的梦想。根据语境可知，句子表示“当他四处旅行时”，通篇时态是一般过去时，因此用过去进行时，即when he was traveling/travelling，时间状语从句中主语和主句主语一致，且从句中有be动词时，可省略从句中的主语和be动词，即省略he was，因此空格处是traveling/travelling。故填traveling/travelling。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：后来，当他四处旅行时，他震惊地发现一块土地，正是他的梦想。分析句子结构可知，空格处用副词作状语，exact的副词是exactly，意为“恰好”，故填exactly。
【45题详解】
考查时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：到目前为止，这项令人惊叹的科学工作已被译成多种不同的语言，包括英语、法语、德语和日语。由So far可知，句子时态是现在完成时，书是被翻译，因此空格处用现在完成时的被动语态，即have/has been done，主语this amazing scientific work是单数，因此空格处是has been put。故填has been put。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Lungs nearly bursting, I struggled to lift my head out of the water. Inch by inch, my tired body reached for the end of the pool.
The extent of my swimming career was purely recreational, while the competitive swimmers nearby thought nothing of the seemingly simple task of a 500-meter swim test. Pushing myself to finish what I had started, I could only think: why not take the easy way out
Earlier that week, I had turned in my first job application at a local pool. Overqualified, I was hired on the spot. However, the tasks were boring: helping confused visitors and measuring the height of children before they went down the slide, those sorts of things. I was capable of more.
So a swim test was required, establishing the mere fact that I was not completely helpless in a pool. Midway through, the manager administering the test remarked, “This looks really easy for you. Why aren't you applying to become a guard "
“The thought hadn't crossed my mind."
“Well, lifeguarding demands more responsibility, strength and respect. Thus the position pays $2 more per hour. Your swimming skills are strong enough. All you need to do is complete a certification class.”
Inside I was unsure of myself, but his words inspired me-You never know what you are capable of until you force yourself to do it.
Soon I passed the swim test. All left was to practice and learn first aid, CPR(心肺复苏), and procedures for different land and water-based emergencies.
Work started soon. A well- intentioned yet anxious feeling in me soon passed. Days, weeks, and months went by without incident; emergencies were rare. The skills and training I had so carefully studied and acquired seemed unnecessary.
Today appeared to be another uneventful day. However, shortly after the other guards signaled to the children to exit the pool, I noticed one boy was still in the middle while the others had climbed up.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Something must have gone wrong with him,” I thought to myself.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Having the boy on the floor, I put my ear to his mouth and my fingers at his neck.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 “Something must have gone wrong with him,” I thought to myself. Sure enough, with a closer look, I found the boy waving his hands desperately. I quickly dived into the water, swimming towards the boy at full speed. By the time I reached him, he had sunk to the bottom of the pool, his head hanging down, which filled my heart with fright and concern. I picked the boy up and headed to the poolside, keeping his head above the water.
Having the boy on the floor, I put my ear to his mouth and my fingers at his neck. I could tell that he had no heartbeat and wasn’t breathing. Every second counted! Without hesitation, I did first aid, giving him mouth-to-mouth breathing and doing CPR as trained. Other guards watching anxiously, I carried on, sweating. Suddenly, a stream of water burst out of his mouth and the boy coughed intensely. Seeing the boy regain consciousness, those around broke into cheers. Exhausted, I sighed with relief. I thought had I accepted that easy position, I would have been nothing but a bystander. I’m happy I didn’t take the easy way out.

第二部分阅读(共两节，满分 50分)
第一节(共15 小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
72 hours in Beijing
Traveling to China is no longer a luxury for many foreign passport holders. The Chinese government has permitted a 72-hour visa free policy that offers access to visitors from 53 countries including the US, France and Austria. Let’s start with the capital of China, Beijing. Here’s a pick of the best in Beijing.
Mutianyu Great Wall
Your trip to Beijing isn’t really complete without seeing one of the “New Seven Wonders of the World” — the Great Wall of China. The Mutianyu section of the Great Wall is by far the most well-preserved of all. Taking a one-hour bus ride, Mutianyu would be your ideal location for a half-day of hiking away from the large crowds in the city. Also, the authorities have allowed tourists to paint graffiti on a specific section of the Great Wall since 2014. The Great Wall was designated (把……定名为) a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987.
Summer Palace
Located in northwestern Beijing, the Summer Palace is by far the city’s most well-preserved royal park. With its huge lake and hilltop views, the palace offers you a pastoral escape into the landscape of traditional Chinese paintings. The Summer Palace was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1998.
798 Art Zone
This would be on the top of my list! Named after the 798 factory that was built in the 1950s, the art zone is home to various galleries, design studios, art exhibition spaces, fashionable shops and bars. You could easily spend half your day wandering around the complex, feeling the contrast of the present and the past.
Sichuan Provincial Restaurant
While in Beijing, apart from trying the city’s best-known Peking duck, the Sichuan provincial restaurant is one of places where you can enjoy regional delicious food. It offers one of China’s eight great cuisines, Sichuan Cuisine, which ranges from Mapo tofu to spicy chicken.
1. When was the Summer Palace added to the UNESCO World Heritage List
A. In 1950. B. In 1987.
C. In 1998. D. In 2014.
2. Which place is the author’s first choice when visiting Beijing
A Mutianyu Great Wall. B. 798 Art Zone.
C. Summer Palace. D. Sichuan Provincial Restaurant.
3. Who is the passage intended for
A. The tourists who prefer to travel for free.
B. The foreigners to stay in Beijing for 4 days.
C. The visitors coming from every corner of China.
D. The foreigners coming to Beijing for the first time.

In Scotland, 600,000 tonnes of food are thrown away every year. This amount of food, which could feed about 1.2 billion poor people, is almost a third of household (家庭的) waste. And food waste isn’t just a big problem in Scotland.
Money, time, and resources are often wasted by throwing away good food. It also causes very harmful greenhouse gas, which is perilous to the planet.
In the production stage, some foods do not enter the food chain for many reasons. Supermarkets usually care about the quality of food from farms. They often refuse strange-looking and unusually sized produce. However, they seem to forget that it is almost impossible to grow the perfect produce. Food waste at the consumption (消费) stage includes food going out of date and leftovers (剩饭) because of too much food. In households, even mostly fresh fruit and vegetables are thrown away.
In order to reduce food waste, here is what we can do:
Understand the terms “use by” and “best before” dates. “Use by” dates are there for your safety. It is dangerous to eat food after the use-by date and doing so risks your health. “Best before” dates tell you how long the food will be at its best quality. Once the food passes the date, it isn’t necessarily bad, but you should still check, just to be sure.
Every time you go shopping and bring back new food, put them at the back of your fridge and bring the food that will expire (到期) soon closer to the front. That way, you know what needs to be eaten first.
If you have any food that will expire soon, give it to charity if you aren’t going to eat it. They will really appreciate the food you have given.
4. What can we infer from Paragraph 1
A. Food waste is the biggest part of household waste.
B. Household waste hasn’t drawn much attention.
C. People in Scotland waste the most food.
D. Food waste is a common problem.
5. What does the underlined word “perilous” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Valuable. B. Dangerous. C. Different. D. Unnecessary.
6. What should people do to reduce food waste according to the text
A. Pick usually sized produce.
B. Improve the quality of farm produce.
C. Order produce directly from farmers.
D. Avoid buying too much food at a time.
7. What advice does the author offer to people
A. Buy food that will expire soon to reduce waste.
B. Place food carefully according to its expiry date.
C. Throw away food that passes the best-before date.
D. Give food that has passed its use-by date to charity.
C
The world may have a new supercontinent within 200 million to 300 million years as the Pacific Ocean shrinks and closes.
Researchers at Curtin University in Australia and Peking University in China used a supercomputer to model the evolution of Earth’s tectonic plates (地质构造板块) and the formation of a future supercontinent. Their findings were published in the journal National science Review.
“Over the past two billion years, Earth’s continents have collided (相撞) together to form a supercontinent every 600 million years, known as the supercontinent cycle. This means that current continents are due to come together again in a couple of hundred million years’ time,” said lead author Dr. Chuan Huang, a research fellow in Curtin’s Earth Dynamics Research Group and the School of Earth and Planetary Sciences.
The team’s simulation showed that due to the fact that Earth has been cooling for billions of years since its formation, the thickness and strength of the tectonic plates beneath the oceans have reduced over time. As a result, the formation of a new supercontinent is more likely to happen by the closing up of the Pacific Ocean. Reducing by a few centimeters per year, the Pacific Ocean’s current reach of 10,000 kilometers will close up in less than 300 million years.
“The resulting new supercontinent has already been named Amasia because some believe that the Pacific Ocean will close when America collides with Asia. Australia is also expected to play a role in this important Earth event, first colliding with Asia and then connecting America and Asia once the Pacific Ocean closes,” Huang said.
Changes in the distribution of continents and oceans will cause changes in climates, “particularly when ocean currents are stopped by continental collision, or new ocean currents are formed when continents break apart,” said study coauthor Zheng-Xiang Li, distinguished professor in Curtin’s School of Earth and Planetary Sciences. “Earth, as we know, will be completely different when Amasia forms. The sea level is expected to be lower, and the vast interior (内陆) of the supercontinent will be very dry with high daily temperature ranges.”
Researchers expect more earthquakes as the continental plates collide. Surrounded by a new super ocean, the newly formed supercontinent will also have decreased biodiversity.
Scientists are still trying to understand Earth’s supercontinent cycle, which is driven by heat and gravity. The research team wants to establish how Earth’s tectonic plates started and when the first continents formed, as well as what kicked off the supercontinent cycle.“We are only starting to look at the entire Earth system, from its core to its atmosphere, as a closely linked system that evolved together,”Li said.
8. What leads to the formation of the new supercontinent
A. The rising temperature of the Earth. B. The expansion of the Pacific Ocean.
C. The reduced strength of the tectonic plates. D. The appearance of many new tectonic plates.
9. What is believed by some scientists about the new supercontinent
A. The involving parts. B. Its climate pattern.
C. The way it breaks apart. D. Its distance from Australia.
10. What will probably happen to the newly formed supercontinent
A. There will be a rise in the sea level.
B. There will be lots of water in its interior.
C. The variety of its living things will be reduced.
D. Its temperature will stay the same all year around.
11. What does the last paragraph mainly want to show
A. The entire Earth system faces an uncertain future.
B. The origin of the supercontinent cycle is hard to trace.
C The Earth’s supercontinent cycle will pose a big threat.
D. There is more to discover about the supercontinent cycle.
D
Dangerous drivers can be anywhere. Drunk, sleepy and distracted driving can sometimes end tragically, notes Jeesung Lee, 17. This rising high-school junior in South Korea attends St. Johnsbury Academy Jeju. He wondered whether AI could help warn people of such drivers. A system he’s designed can now warn drivers when other drivers near them are acting dangerously.
Jeesung’s system can find cars traveling at dangerous speeds or suddenly switching lanes(车道). His computer program then sends a message to cellphones in the area. It can text drivers to watch out. Live video surveys many major roads around the globe often for traffic reports, especially to assess what happened after an accident occurs, Jeesung notes. His AI-based program instead aims to head off accidents.
It monitors streaming video in real time. Jeesung trained his computer program with publicly available videos showing car accidents. He then tested his system using video it hadn’t seen. It correctly identified dangerous driving some 80, percent of the time, the teen now reports. It also sends out warnings less than two seconds after spotting risky driving.
You can’t get those warnings just yet. To do so, Jeesung wants to use GPS to pinpoint the locations of phone users. That would require permission from South Korea’s government, he notes. But the system should prove quick and reliable, Jeesung says. And it should cost little, he adds. It needs no additional hardware. And his system can be used with existing cameras.
Car accidents are a leading cause of death and injuries. Jeesung hopes a system like his can limit these. He aims to continue improving and testing the system in Jeju and eventually go global.
12. What caused Jeesung to design the system
A. Feeling sleepy in class. B. Playing computer games.
C. Seeing dangerous drivers. D. Acting wrongly after drinking.
13. What is the purpose of Jeesung’s design
A. To speed up cars. B. To stop accidents.
C. To report accidents. D. To survey main roads.
14. What can we infer from paragraph 4
A. The system will be cheap.
B. Existing hardware is of little use.
C. Jeesung can know the locations of phone users.
D. South Korea’s government has given Jeesung permission.
15. What can we learn about Jeesung
A. He is warm-hearted. B. He is ambitious.
C. He has a lot of money. D. He has an expensive car.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Lungs nearly bursting, I struggled to lift my head out of the water. Inch by inch, my tired body reached for the end of the pool.
The extent of my swimming career was purely recreational, while the competitive swimmers nearby thought nothing of the seemingly simple task of a 500-meter swim test. Pushing myself to finish what I had started, I could only think: why not take the easy way out
Earlier that week, I had turned in my first job application at a local pool. Overqualified, I was hired on the spot. However, the tasks were boring: helping confused visitors and measuring the height of children before they went down the slide, those sorts of things. I was capable of more.
So a swim test was required, establishing the mere fact that I was not completely helpless in a pool. Midway through, the manager administering the test remarked, “This looks really easy for you. Why aren't you applying to become a guard "
“The thought hadn't crossed my mind."
“Well, lifeguarding demands more responsibility, strength and respect. Thus the position pays $2 more per hour. Your swimming skills are strong enough. All you need to do is complete a certification class.”
Inside I was unsure of myself, but his words inspired me-You never know what you are capable of until you force yourself to do it.
Soon I passed the swim test. All left was to practice and learn first aid, CPR(心肺复苏), and procedures for different land and water-based emergencies.
Work started soon. A well- intentioned yet anxious feeling in me soon passed. Days, weeks, and months went by without incident; emergencies were rare. The skills and training I had so carefully studied and acquired seemed unnecessary.
Today appeared to be another uneventful day. However, shortly after the other guards signaled to the children to exit the pool, I noticed one boy was still in the middle while the others had climbed up.
