第一节(共15小题，每题2.5分，37.5分)

A

Given Europe’s high concentration of gorgeous big cities and world­class art museums, it is easy to completely overlook the continent’s abundance of small, quiet villages and towns. However, if you are after relaxation, peaceful country walks, beautiful architecture and opportunities for cultural appreciation on your next trip across the pond, consider cutting down some of your city time and head out to a village instead. Here are four of the most charming villages in Europe, along with our top picks for places to stay in each.

Eze in Cota D’Azur, France

Set on a hilltop overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the Provencal township of Eze is easily one of the most picturesque spots in the region. It is largely a tourist destination, and many of its buildings dates back to the Middle Age. In fact, Eze is particularly popular with couples seeking romantic solitude.

Hotel pick: Chateau de la Chevre

Baden­Baden in Wurttemberg, Germany

Germany’s best­known spa town, Baden­Baden, in the Black Forest of Baden­Wurttemberg, has been a popular spot for soaking in mineral­rich waters off and on since the Roman era. And while spa treatments and hot springs are still among the most popular draws for tourists, there are also plenty of museums, gardens, performing arts venues and charming old buildings and churches.

Hotel pick: Hotel Belle Epoque

Montepulciano in Tuscany, Italy

Spread over a hilltop nearly 2,000 metres above sea level, the Tuscan village of Montepulciano offers gorgeous Renaissance architecture as well as opportunities to visit wine companies. Surrounded by strong walls dating back to the 14th century, the village features a handful of churches and public squares.

Hotel pick: Etruria Resort

Oia in Santorini, Greece

Oia is undoubtedly the most charming village on the beautiful Greek island of Santorini. This oft­photographed cliffside town is best known as a sunset­viewing spot, but it is fantastic any time of day thanks to its abundance of typical whitewashed structures topped with blue domes plus its fabulous views out onto the Aegean Sea.

Hotel pick: Hotel Aspaki

The Mississippi is a romantic river whose relationship with man goes back beyond its discovery by the Spaniards in the 16th century. Indians used the river as a highway and as a source of food, and it was they who gave it its name —“misi”， meaning “great” and “sipi” meaning “water”．

When the length of its great tributary (支流), the Missouri, is added to it, the Mississippi becomes the third longest river in the world. From the source of the Missouri to the tip of the delta (三角洲), it is 2,480 miles long. Its head waters have been compared to a healthy, thick­branched tree, healthy because its main branches, or tributaries, are navigable for most of their length.

The Indians paddled up and down the river in their canoes. The first streamer was launched in 1810.It had a single great paddle­wheel at the stern, and was known as a “paddle­wheeler”. Throughout the 19th century these unique ships were queens of the Mississippi. They have become part of American history and American literature. The noted writer, Mark Twain, immortalized (使不朽) the river in his greatest novel, Huckleberry Finn, and Oscar Hammerstein immortalized it in his song, Old Man River, which was made popular all over the world by the great black American singer and actor, Paul Robeson.

4．The Mississippi was discovered by the ________.

A．Americans

D．Queens of the Mississippi

A．branch B．river

C．paddle D．tree

7．During the________ century the single paddle­wheel ships were queens of the Mississippi.

A．16th B．19th

C．17th D．15th

6．D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Its head waters have been compared to a healthy, thick­branched tree, healthy because its main branches, or tributaries, are navigable for most of their length.”可知，它的源头被比作一棵健康的、粗壮的树，之所以健康是因为它的主要分支或支流在大部分长度上都是可以航行的。由此可知，因为密西西比河的大部分长度都可以航行，它被比作一棵树。故选D项。

7．B　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Throughout the 19th century these unique ships were queens of the Mississippi.”可知，整个19世纪，这些独特的船只都是密西西比河的女王。由此可知，在19世纪，单桨轮船是密西西比河的女王。故选B项。

Right in front of the Minneapolis Central Library, a row of green hikes sits parked in a special stand. Each hike is designed with the logo “Nice Ride”， the name of the city’s bike­share program.

Nice Ride bikes are a lot like the library books that people come here to borrow. To rent a bike, you simply use your membership card at a Nice Ride bike station. Members can rent one of 1,200 bikes from 138 stations throughout Minnesota’s largest city. People use the Nice Ridebikes to go to work, to go out on business, or just to enjoy the city’s many bike paths.

The rise of bike­share programs like Nice Ride is encouraging more people than ever to choose biking over driving. Skyrocketing gas prices and concerns about the environment have also gotten people to dust off their bike helmets, pump air into flat tires, and hit the road.

Why ride? Not only is biking good exercise, but switching from a car to a bike also reduces the amount of pollution in the air. Carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas linked to climate change, is one of the many polluting substances that come out of a car’s tailpipe.

Bike­share systems are found around the world in cities like London, Paris, Barcelona, and Melbourne, Australia. The largest program — with 70,000 bikes — is in Wuhan, China.

To make roads friendlier to non­motorists, the U. S. Department of Transportation has invested more than a billion dollars in cycling and pedestrian projects in recent years. The money went toward building thousands of miles of on­street bike lanes and bike — and pedestrian­only passages called greenways.

8．If one wants to use the bike, it’s a must to ________.

A．give away a bicycle B．know Nice Ride well

C．pay the cost in advance D．get a membership card

9．Which of the following can people do with the bikes?

A．Earn a living.

B．Enjoy bike ways.

C．Compete in a race.

D．Rent them out to others.

10．Paragraph 4 is mainly about ________.

A．benefits of biking

B．pollution caused by cars

C．methods to use the bikes

D．ways to reduce pollution

11．The author’s purpose in writing this text is to ________.

A．spread bike­share programs

B．seek advice for Nice Ride

C．compare Nice Ride with libraries

D．introduce the public bike system

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了公共自行车体系。就像借书一样，人们可以用会员卡在许多自行车站租用自行车，这样人们在锻炼身体的同时也减少了空气污染。

8．D　细节理解题。根据第二段的第二句“To rent a bike, you simply use your membership card at a Nice Ride bike station.”可知，若想租用自行车必须有会员卡。故选D项。

9．B　细节理解题。根据第二段的最后一句“People use the Nice Ride bikes to go to work, to go out on business, or just to enjoy the city’s many bike paths.”可知，人们可以用这些自行车享受自行车车道。故选B项。

10．A　段落大意题。第四段主要介绍了骑自行车带来的好处，既能锻炼身体，又能减少空气污染。故选A项。

11．D　写作意图题。本文由Nice Ride这一项目引出话题，主要介绍了公共自行车体系。故选D项。

D

In a world simultaneously on fire and underwater thanks to climate change, scientists have announced some good news: Several important tuna(金枪鱼) species have stepped back from the edge of extinction.

The unexpectedly fast recovery speaks to the success of efforts over the past decade to end overfishing. But tuna are not the only species scientists are discussing at the 2021 World Conservation Congress in Marseille, France, which is organized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN). Researchers caution that many other marine species remain imperiled. For instance, more than a third of the world’s sharks remain threatened with extinction due to overfishing, habitat loss, and climate change.

“I think the good news is that sustainable fisheries are possible，” says Beth Polidoro, a marine biologist at Arizona State University. “We can eat fish in a proper way and without driving the population to the point where it is on the road to collapse or extinction.” At the same time, she warned that the changes in status should not be an reason to catch as many fish as we want.

The IUCN, which ranks the world’s most endangered species on its Red List of Threatened Species and is backed by 16,000 experts across the globe, also announced at the meeting that some animals are moving in the other direction, onto the Red List. One notable example is the Komodo dragon, an islandliving lizard at particular risk from climate change.

For the better part of two decades, Polidoro has been part of a specialist group tasked with assessing the statuses of more than 60 species of tuna and billfishes for the IUCN. Her team announced its first comprehensive findings in 2011, mentioning that a number of commercially fished tuna species were dangerously close to disappearing. According to the new data, the Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus), once listed as endangered, now qualifies for a status of least concern. As does the yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) and albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga), which were both considered near­threatened the last time they were assessed.

12．What does the underlined word “imperiled” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Endangered.   B．Conserved.

C．Extinct. 　 D．Safe.

13．What can we infer from Polidoro’s words?

A．Too many fish are being eaten by human beings.

B．Eating fish does not necessarily lead to its extinction.

C．Fish species are on the edge of dying out if no action is taken.

D．The situation of underwater species are changing for the better.

14．Which of following statement is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Some Tuna species are wiped out by overfishing.

B．Tuna species are ranked as the world’s most endangered species.

C．Climate change poses a threat to most species in water and on land.

D．Three tuna species have been saved from extinction according to the data.

15．What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．Some tuna species are reported endangered recently.

B．IUCN has helped saved a great many marine species.

C．Improvement has been made in saving marine species.

D．Great efforts should be made to conserve species underwater.

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了海洋物种保护工作不断加强。

12．A　词义猜测题。根据下文“For instance, more than a third of the world’s sharks remain threatened with extinction due to overfishing, habitat loss, and climate change.”可知，研究人员警告说，许多其他海洋物种仍然处于危险之中。由此可知，imperiled意为“濒临灭绝的”。故选A项。

13．B　推理判断题。根据文章第三段“ ’I think the good news is that sustainable fisheries are possible，’ says Beth Polidoro, a marine biologist at Arizona State University. ’We can eat fish in a proper way and without driving the population to the point where it is on the road to collapse or extinction.’”可推知，吃鱼并不一定会导致它的灭绝。故选B项。

14．D　细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“According to the new data, the Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus), once listed as endangered, now qualifies for a status of least concern. As does the yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) and albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga), which were both considered near­threatened the last time they were assessed.”可知，根据数据，有三种金枪鱼免于灭绝。故选D项。

15．C　主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“The unexpectedly fast recovery speaks to the success of efforts over the past decade to end overfishing.”可知，文章讲述了海洋物种保护工作不断加强。故选C项。

Dear fellow students，

________________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________

Yours sincerely，

Li Hua

【答案】One possible version：

Dear_fellow_students，

With the popularity of private cars, taxis and buses, more traffic jams are caused. Therefore, as a volunteer of environmental protection, I strongly advocate that all the middle school students should ride shared bikes to and from school.

Obviously, riding shared bikes has many advantages. First of all, it is easy for us to use them. Second, in terms of environmental protection, it helps to reduce waste­gas emission from vehicles and ease traffic jams, which in turn improves the air quality. Last but not least, riding shared bikes is surely a good way to improve our health.

Let’s just take action and work together. Your cooperation would be great.

Yours_sincerely，

Li_Hua

Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day Robert and Henry were going home from school, when, on turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let’s go and see！”

“No，” said Henry. “Let us go quietly home and not meddle with(插手) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into mischief(trouble). Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me. ”

“You are a coward, and afraid to go，” said Robert, and off he ran. Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual.

But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him together.

Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.

A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled, and screamed for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him.

【答案】One possible version：

Robert_was_fast_sinking. It seemed as if Robert would be drowned. Just at the moment, Henry happened to be passing by. Hearing the screams, Henry ran to the riverside, threw off his clothes and jumped into the water without hesitation. He reached Robert just as he was sinking the last time. By great effort, and with much danger to himself, he brought Robert to the shore.

Thus,_Robert’s_life_was_saved. Robert and his new friends were ashamed at having called Henry a coward. They realized that Henry had true courage. They said sorry to Henry for their rude behavior and asked for his forgiveness. Henry forgave them happily. He and Robert were friends again and they went home together as usual. From this, Robert learned what true courage was: never be afraid to do good, but always fear to do evil.
