Last summer vacation, she went to Luoyang with her parents and stayed there for a few days.They tried Henan noodles on the first day. There were so many kinds of noodles that Wang Li and her family didn’t try all of them. Then, they went to the National Flower Park of China to see the peonies (牡丹). But there were no peonies in July. What a pity! The hot weather in summer was bad for peonies’ growth. Wang Li thought they should go there earlier to enjoy the beautiful peonies the next year.On the second day, they got up early in the morning to visit the Luoyi ancient town. They saw many beautiful buildings. There were also many hanfu shops on the street. Wang Li and her family wore hanfu and took a lot of beautiful photos there.On the third day, they went to the famous Laojun Mountain after breakfast. It took them a few hours to get to the top of the mountain. Although they were tired that day, they were all happy.On the last day of their vacation, they went to the Luoyang Museum. A guide showed them around and told them stories about the cultural relics (文物). Then, they knew more about Luoyang.21．What did Wang Li and her family do during their trip?①They went to the National Flower Park of China. ②They tried Henan noodles.③They visited the White Horse Temple.④They climbed the Yuntai Mountain.⑤They climbed the Laojun Mountain.⑥They visited the Luoyi ancient town.⑦They went to the Luoyang Museum.A．①②③⑤⑥ B．①②⑤⑥⑦C．②③⑤⑥⑦ D．②④⑤⑥⑦22．What can we know from the text?A．Wang Li isn’t interested in hanfu.B．Wang Li didn’t visit the Luoyi ancient town.C．It is easy for people to get lost in Luoyang.D．It is difficult for peonies to grow in hot weather.23．The writer wrote the text in order of ________.A．time B．space C．persons D．ideasBAlthough Yunnan Province is less developed economically, when compared with China’s eastern provinces, its tourism resources are so rich that one should not explore China without visiting Yunnan. From the world-famous Lijiang to lots of small ancient towns, from the amazing karst formations (喀斯特地貌) to the World Heritage Site Hani Terraces, Yunnan can be a complete eye-opener for even the smartest travelers. Here are three Yunnan destinations (目的地) which can’t be missed, although we are sure that the natural wonders and cultural landscapes are far beyond the sites listed here.The Old Town of LijiangThe Old Town of Lijiang located in Southwest China’s Yunnan Province is one of the last surviving ancient towns in China. The Old Town of Lijiang has been a commercial (商业的), political and cultural centre of the Naxi people and other ethnic minorities for eight centuries.Zhengying VillageZhengying Village has a history of more than 600 years. In 1999 Zhengying Village was named as the historical and cultural village at provincial level. After that it was given the name “No. 1 Village in Yunnan”.Naigu Stone ForestA central part of Stone Forest Park was listed as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site in 2007. The 30-square-kilometre beautiful Naigu area is known as a natural museum of karst landforms. The word “Naigu” means ancient and black in the language of the Yi ethnic minority group—a fitting description of the mass of blackish limestone (石灰岩) that formed about 270 million years ago. The Naigu attraction has many stone columns (柱) that appear as shapes ranging from animals and figures to towers and blockhouses. The highest is more than 40 metres tall.24．How long has Lijiang been the commercial centre of the Naxi people?A．For more than 600 years. B．For 800 years.C．Since 270 years ago.

B．In a fashion magazine. C．In a travel book. D．In a geography book.CAs night falls, the sound of drums fills the air as an 8-meter fish-shaped lantern, followed by a team of smaller ones, parades (游行) through the streets of Wangmantian village, in East China’s Anhui Province. The lantern parade dances in the moonlight, like fish, chasing the moon reflected in the water.In the crowd, Wang Lijun, a 27-year-old villager who serves as the “head fish”, leads the parade of lanterns. Sometimes she cheers on the team behind her. Traditionally, respected elders held the position of “head fish”, but in recent years, younger players returning to their hometown have taken on the role as volunteers. “It has become an emotional connection. Such an energetic custom has attracted more young villagers like me back home, and also young tourists flooding in to experience this traditional Chinese culture,” Wang said.Every year, villagers in Wangmantian hold fish-shaped lantern parades during the Spring Festival. The mountain village often faced the risk of fires in old times. ▲ Over time, such a tradition has developed into a wish for good health and wealth. With a history of over 600 years, the fish-shaped lantern was recognized as a provincial-level intangible cultural heritage (非遗) in 2022. Through social media, more than 100,000 visitors from across the country came to Shexian County to experience the parades during the Spring Festival from February 10th to February 17th in 2025.While protecting the intangible cultural heritage, local people have made efforts on business forms related to the fish-shaped lantern. Total sales of fish-shaped lanterns and related products rose to about 1.15 million yuan ($159,700) during the 2025 Spring Festival. Wang Huawu, a 41-year-old craftsman of fish-shaped lanterns, said that since 2023, his workshop has been “filled with orders” and has received nearly 100,000 yuan worth of orders from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong.As fish-shaped lanterns continue to benefit local tourism and related industries, the future looks brighter than ever.28．Which poem best describes the scene of Paragraph 1?A．月色灯山满帝都，香车宝盖溢通衢。 B．舞龙戏珠动地来，欢声雷动震天开。C．鱼灯游行夜未央，水光月色两相望。 D．金狮舞动闹元宵，花灯如昼照天桥。29．Which sentence can be put in “ ▲ ”?A．Besides, the fish-shaped lanterns are usually made of colorful paper and bamboo.B．Therefore, this custom started centuries ago to avoid accidents during the festival.C．However, the lantern parades were called off in some years because of bad weather.D．So villagers used to parade with fish-shaped lanterns, wishing “water overcoming fire”.30．How does the writer show the development of the fish lantern industry in Paragraph 4?A．By listing numbers. B．By telling a story.C．By asking a question. D．By showing the reason.31．Which of the following does the writer probably agree with?A．The fish lanterns light up a way to the future for the local people.B．The fish lantern parades can protect the village from the risk of fires.C．The fish lanterns only carry cultural meaning of the intangible heritage.D．Tourists flooding to the village may break the balance of the environment.DSunshine, beaches and coconuts (椰子)—these are why people usually go to Hainan. But more than a good place for travellers and foodies, it’s also a wonderland of plants and animals.Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park is in the south-central part of Hainan Island. It has the best-kept tropical rainforests in China. President Xi visited it in April 2023. The national park covers 4,269 square kilometres, or one-seventh of the island. More than 95 percent of the park is virgin (原始的) forest. The park is home to 3,653 species of vascular plants and 540 species of terrestrial vertebrates.The park is the only home of the world’s most endangered primate (灵长类动物)—the Hainan gibbon. It’s an uncommon species. They look like monkeys, but have no tails. They live in the trees their whole life. Every morning, they whistle loudly to mark their territory (领地). They eat fruits and leaves from more than 130 plants. The number of Hainan gibbons has become larger from fewer than 10 in the 1980s to 36 in 2022. This shows China’s achievements in environmental protection.Not just a sweet home of animals, the park is a “live museum” of amazing plants. More than 400 kinds of plants grow only in Hainan. Cycas hainanensis (海南苏铁) is a wild plant native to the island. With feather-like leaves, this plant can live to be 200 years old. If it lives in the Yangtze River Basin and North China, it grows almost without flowers or fruit. But in Hainan, Cycas hainanensis plants over 10 years old blossom (开花) and have fruit almost every year, thanks to the warm and wet weather.With so many plants and animals, the biodiversity index (指数) of the park—a number to rate species diversity—is as high as 6.28. It is comparable (可比较的) to the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil. That’s why people call the park a treasure for both China and the world.32．Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.A．an introduction to the Hainan gibbon B．the views of the parkC．the news of the park’s opening D．details of rare plants and animals33．What do we know about the Hainan gibbon?A．It is a monkey without a tail. B．Its voice sounds like a crying baby.C．It lives on plants and birds. D．It is a species only found in Hainan.34．From the story, we can infer that a Cycas hainanensis plant ________.A．never blossoms and has fruit B．can only live for 10 years in HainanC．lives better in warm and wet weather D．first blossoms when it is 10 years old35．Which of the following may be the writer’s opinion?A．Human activities will surely hurt the rainforest.B．We must start to do something for rare species.C．China has done a great job in protecting the rainforest.D．We should compare our rainforest with the Amazon Rainforest.第二节 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Even experienced hikers can have problems if they lose focus.

You must think it works at a super speed and can do everything. Well, it’s not. In fact, the human brain is much more powerful than any super computer. Imagine a glass is just about to fall off the table. Your brain controls everything that you need to do to save that glass from falling. First, your eyes check out what’s going on, and then tell your brain, and your brain decides how quickly you need to react, and then your muscles go into action. This is just from your brain. No computers could ever come close to that.The brain weighs just about 3 pounds, but it controls everything you do from thinking, learning, feeling, even to breathing and your heart beating. Even though the brain is just about 2% of your body weight, it uses around 20% of the energy in your body. That is a lot for such a small organ (器官). There are billions of tiny cells in your brain. There are so many that it would take you many years to count them all.Your brain stops growing when you’re about 18, but it actually keeps on developing and learning new things. So your parents are really super smart. You won’t be able to fool them. Believe it or not, your brain never stops working. Even during sleep, the brain works—for long-term memory establishment. It is realized that the brain is the second organ in the body after the heart that never stops during human lives. So everyone should be proud of such a gift of nature.61．What can first check out what’s going on when the glass is about to fall off the table? 62．How much does the brain weigh? 63．What does the underlined word “That” refer to in Paragraph 2? 64．When will your brain stop growing? 65．What can you learn from the last paragraph?
