Then, the craftsmen use a special 20 called ceramic glaze (釉) to draw patterns on its surface. It takes them many hours to finish because they work 21 on the fine patterns. After that, the craftsmen put the pieces into a kiln (窑) and burn them at a very high 22 for 12 to 24 hours. Finally, the porcelain can be taken out after it 23 down.As the saying goes, 24 only comes through hard work. It’s easy to see that making porcelain is very time-consuming (耗时的). But the craftsmen’s hard work has 25 beautiful works.On the last day of our trip, we went to Taoxichuan Ceramic Art Avenue. 26 you are porcelain lovers, you can go there to make your own porcelain works. Tourists walk through the market and 27 pieces they like. As we walked through the area, we chose souvenirs (纪念品) and enjoyed this historic 28 .I can now understand 29 Jingdezhen City is called “Porcelain Capital”.

It gives them “a sense of ceremony (仪式感)”. The followings are Top 4 places of interest in Zhejiang Province. Let’s look at their travel stamps!31．Why do young people like collecting travel stamps?A．Because it’s easy to get travel stamps. B．Because travel stamps don’t cost much.C．Because travel stamps are very beautiful. D．Because it’s a good way to remember their trips.32．If Tom wants to visit a place of interest in Zhejiang for free, which can he choose?A．West Lake, Hangzhou. B．Tianyi Pavilion, Ningbo.C．Yunhe Terrace, Lishui. D．Yandang Mountain, Wenzhou.33．What can a visitor enjoy in Yandang Mountain? ① Riding boats. ② The fresh air. ③ Reading ancient books. ④ Learning knowledge from farmers. ⑤ Going hiking. ⑥ Watching monkeys playing.A．①②④ B．②③⑤ C．②⑤⑥ D．①⑤⑥BHave you ever dreamed of travelling all the way over the rainbow? Well, it’s easier than you think. All you need to do is to book a plane ticket to Rainbow Mountain in Peru (秘鲁).Rainbow Mountain is a beautiful natural wonder. It lies in the Andes in Cusco (库斯科的安第斯山脉). As its name suggests, the mountain has different colours. But why is it in yellow, green, red and purple? The reason is the ice that covered the area centuries ago. When it started to melt(融化), the water mixed with the minerals (矿物质) in the ground and turned the earth into many colours. If you plan your trip to the mountain, try to go during warmer months when there is less rain or snow. Rain or snow makes the climbing more difficult and the colours will look less beautiful. The best time is from March to November, when there are blue skies and pleasant weather. At the same time, visit it in the morning or evening, either right after sunrise or right before sunset. Very sunny days may make you not take nice photos. To get to Rainbow Mountain, you should first travel to Cusco—a province in the south of Peru. Then you can take a drive to Qesoyuno. From there you can start the journey on foot. It takes about a two-or-three hour walk to the top. This is really the best way, but the trip is very difficult. Because the mountain sits at a very high altitude (海拔) about 5,200 metres above sea level, so bring enough water and take your time.34．How does the writer start the passage?A．By listing a fact. B．By asking a question.C．By telling a story. D．By giving an example.35．What can we learn about Rainbow Mountain?A．It has seven different colours. B．It’s a man-made wonder.C．It was covered by ice in the past. D．It’s the most famous place of Peru.36．Which of the following is the best time for a trip to Rainbow Mountain?A．At noon of a cold day in December.B．On the evening of a rainy day in August.C．On the afternoon of a snowy day in January.D．On the morning of a sunny day in September.37．What’s the passage mainly about?A．The way to get to Rainbow Mountain.B．An introduction to Rainbow Mountain.C．The best time to go to Rainbow Mountain.D．The reason why it’s called Rainbow Mountain.CMeet me at the SquareWhere do you go in your town or city when there is an event or occasion where everyone in the community comes together? ①Chances are good that it’s a public square, a large area where people can meet, participate in outdoor events like concerts and rallies (公众集会), get together to relax or play games, or even just sit and watch people passing by. Public squares are for everyone, no matter who they are, how much money they have, or what part of the city they live in.Public squares may be small or large, but there are many squares all over the world that have become famous landmarks.②Some gained fame because something important happened there, or simply because they are places where everyone likes to gather. And over time, many of them have become places that visitors to those cities want to see.Tiananmen Square, Beijing, ChinaTiananmen Square is a public square in the geographical center of the city of Beijing, China. At about 440,000 square meters, it is the largest public square in the world. To the north of the square is its most famous landmark, the Gate of Heavenly Peace (天安门). The gate separates the square from the Forbidden City (紫禁城), which is the palace complex (建筑群) at the heart of Beijing. On the western side of the square, you can find the Great Hall of the People (人民大会堂). Various meetings and ceremonies are held here. Flag ceremonies are performed at dusk and dawn every day. If you don’t mind getting up early, it’s a great experience. Times Square, New York City, AmericaTimes Square, in New York City, is sometimes called the Crossroads of the World. It is a destination for tourists, a center for entertainment like Broadway (百老汇) shows, and the headquarters of several broadcast media groups. Times Square isn’t really a square: it’s a bow-tie (蝶形领结) shape at the crossroad of Broadway, Seventh Avenue, and 42nd Street, and is five blocks long. It is known for its huge, bright neon (霓虹的) advertising signs. One of its most famous events takes place every year on New Year’s Eve, when a large ball, sparkling with crystals (水晶), begins to drop down a pole on top of a nearby building at 11:59 pm. When the ball reaches the bottom, it is officially the new year.Red Square, Moscow, RussiaSome famous city squares have been connected with events that are more serious than just fun and celebration. Red Square, in the heart of Moscow, Russia, dates from the 15th century. It began as a central marketplace near the Kremlin (克里姆林宫), which is now the seat of the Russian government. The square covers around 91, 000 square meters, and its most famous landmarks include the Cathedral of St. Basil the Blessed (圣瓦西里大教堂) and the tomb of former leader Vladimir Lenin (弗拉基米尔·列宁). Red Square has been the scene of speeches, demonstrations (游行示威) and parades showcasing the power of the Russian army.Choose the best answer.38．What is common among the public squares mentioned in the article?A．They are all located in Asia.B．They are all famous for their shopping centers.C．They are all places where everyone can go to visit.D．They are all the largest public squares in their countries.39．Which of the following statements about Tiananmen Square is NOT true?A．It holds flag ceremonies every day.B．It is surrounded by other landmarks in Beijing.C．It is the biggest public square in the world.D．It is divided into two parts by the Forbidden City.40．What separates Times Square from the other public squares mentioned?A．It is not actually a square in shape.B．It is surrounded by other landmarks in Beijing.C．It is the oldest public square in the world.D．It is located at the geographical center of the city.41．What significant landmark is associated with Red Square in Moscow?A．The Gate of Heavenly Peace.B．The Great Hall of the People.C．The Crossroads of the World.D．The Cathedral of St. Basil the Blessed.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.42．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 animals43．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.44．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 old45．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.四、词汇运用(共10小题；每小题1分，计10分)根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。(每空一词)46．The farmer put up a scarecrow to (使害怕) the birds away.47．Please wait here (直到……为止) I come back.
