In the middle of the Pacific Ocean lies a tiny, remote island whose most famous residents stand guard along the edges of the rocky land. These legendary islanders are actually massive stone statues called moai. There are more than 800 of them on Easter Island.
Carved by the Rapa Nui people, the sculptures—known for their oversized heads—represent Rapa Nui ancestors, and they are considered sacred by descendants of the ancient civilization who still live on the island today.
However, a few of the moai are missing from their native home. One statue has been on display at the British Museum in London, England, for about 150 years and is one of the institution’s most popular exhibits.
But that may not be the case for much longer. Rapa Nui leaders recently announced that they want the statue back. Their request is not unique. A great many museums around the world are facing similar pressure to return historical objects to their homelands.
The issue has raised a debate: Do ancient artifacts belong in the places they came from or should they be displayed in popular museums where millions of people can appreciate them?
Last year, France’s President Emmanuel Macron called for thousands of artworks in French museums to be returned to the countries in Africa from which they were taken without permission.
But many experts believe certain artifacts should remain in museums, which are more accessible for people. That’s one reason officials at the British Museum believe they should keep Hoa Hakananai’a, saying roughly 6 million people visit the British Museum annually—many to see the moai Meanwhile, only about 100,000 people tour the remote stretch of land each year.
Many experts also say that fragile ancient treasures are safer in museums. On Easter Island, for example, several of the moai are worsening because of centuries of rain and winds or harmed by tourists who touch them while taking selfies.
Still, most present-day Rapa Nui people believe Hoa Hakananai’a was stolen. To them, the statue is an important part of the is land’s history that should be returned.
4．According to the passage, moai are________.
A．They are guards to protect the island.
B．They represent leaders on Easter Island.
C．They trace history back to 150 years ago.
D．They connect Rapa Nui and their ancestors.
5．What is the attitude of France’s president to the return of artworks?
A．Doubtful. B．Supportive. C．Neutral D．Opposed.
6．Which of the following would the British Museum officials agree?
A．Ancient artifacts should be returned to their countries of origin.
B．Hoa Hakananai’a was not stolen but discovered by explorers.
C．Museums offer most people the chance to see famous artworks in person.
D．The oversized heads of Hoa Hakananai’a are the symbol of the civilization.
7．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Stone statues like moai can be restored better indoors.
B．Hoa Hakananai’a is the best exhibit at the British Museum.
C．Tourists are to blame for the damage of all ancient treasures.
D．The return of ancient artworks is being requested globally.

Slowness has been a sweeping trend in sustainability. Slow food celebrates local produce and traditional cooking methods; slow fashion is made with a focus on people and the planet. You may have even heard of the slow city, a campaign to restore local cultures and turn cities back to their natural environments.
Slow design developed from the larger slow movement. Although the term was only recently introduced, the idea of thoughtful design looks back to a time when buildings and furniture were made with great craftsmanship (手艺) and by hand-before the mass-produced throwaway furniture took over. You can think of the term “slow” as a celebration of timelessness: both the timelessness of a piece and the timelessness of the relationship between that piece and its owner.
One example of slow design today is what’s been dubbed the brown furniture revival (复兴). Brown furniture refers to the heavy wooden furnishings that were popular in your grandparents’ day but suddenly fell out of style at the turn of the century. Brown furniture is often associated with dark woods, such as trees like mahogany, walnut, and teak, that take decades to reach maturity and true craftsmanship to transform into functional pieces.
Today’s furniture industry is dominated by the $13.1 billion-and-growing global ready-to-assemble(RTA) furniture market. RTA furniture is usually constructed from low-quality fiberboard, which lasts a small part of traditional furniture’s lifespan (寿命).The weight of furniture landfilled in 2018 was 9. 7 million tons, 4. 5 times what was landfilled in 1960.
In a less direct way, the idea of timelessness also lends itself to a lower environmental impact. Besides their demonstrated physical durability, slow materials and design are meant to outlive trends and never be thrown out simply because they’re out of style.
As second-hand shopping becomes more appealing to today’s young generation-because of its low environmental impact and affordability-the brown furniture of yesteryear is making a comeback.
8．Why is the first paragraph written?
A．To explain a new term.
B．To present the topic of the text.
C．To provide background information.
D．To highlight the importance of slowness.
9．What does the underlined word “dubbed” mean in paragraph 3?
A．Known as.
B．Mistaken for.
C．Compared to.
D．Connected with.
10．What can be inferred about RTA furniture?
A．It is out of date.
B．It has a long lifespan.
C．It is heavy and expensive.
D．It has bad effects on the environment.
11．What is good news for the brown furniture revival?
A．Grandparents are buying new furniture.
B．The brown furniture will soon be mass-produced.
C．The young generation favors second-hand shopping.
D．Materials for slow design furniture are more available.

Saying farewell to someone you love, even for a night, can be difficult, much less saying goodbye for a lifetime or forever in death. Juliet bid Romeo adieu (再见) for the evening with the words, “Parting is such sweet sorrow.” Sweet sorrow is an oxymoron. But this seeming contradiction is true in the context of relationships.
Relationships are based on feelings, emotions, and passion. Deep friendships and loving relationships are measured by the level of emotional attachment. Emotions intensify over time. People spend time with the people they like. The more one person likes another person, the closer the relationship becomes. Each person in the relationship receives an emotional benefit from knowing the other person.
Saying goodbye means separating from the people who make up a significant part of your emotional identity. Separation, even a temporary absence, from the people you have a deep emotional connection with can cause sorrow because you will no longer be able to enjoy their company.
The sweet side of saying goodbye is the emotional fulfillment of being in a close relationship. The time spent together is emotionally rewarding, especially if that person is seen as a soulmate. Humans are social beings. We seek the love and comfort of other people. Loneliness devastates the human condition and leads to sadness. Sad people will do anything they can to find fulfilling relationships. Likewise, happy people will do anything they can to maintain or enhance relationships. Herein lies the essential point of the emotional problem.
The more intense relationships become, the more devastating the emotional loss that is felt upon separation. The exhilaration of relationships cannot be truly measured without experiencing the overwhelming loss of a deep emotional connection.
Enjoy the company of the person you are with as long as you can; knowing the pain you will feel at the end of the relationship is the true measure of the relationship. If it doesn’t hurt to say goodbye, perhaps it wasn’t worth saying hello.
12．Which of the word group can create the same effect as “sweet sorrow”?
A．icy cold B．clicking sound C．deafening silence D．endless speech
13．What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A．Saying goodbye is unavoidable in our daily life.
B．The companion of close friends can lessen sorrow.
C．A person’s identity is connected with relationship.
D．Separation is the sorrowful part of saying goodbye.
14．What gives a person emotional satisfaction in social life?
A．Making more communication with others.
B．Building deep emotional connections with others.
C．Comforting friends with love and intense feelings.
D．Being a thoughtful person by standing in others’ shoes.
15．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Sweet sorrow is very common in close relationships.
B．The pain of separation is the measure of relationships.
C．Human beings are eager to get emotional fulfillment.
D．Happiness is meaningless without sadness to compare it.


二、七选五
Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s stars, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. 16 Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Newspapers and magazines all snap up to publish thrilling stories about their personal lives.
According to psychologist Christina Villareal, famous people worry constantly about their public appearance. 17 Eventually, they see themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names.
18 In the 4th century B．C． painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy. Local magazines and newspapers published his thrilling stories about his personal lives. They did much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.
Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without being photographed or interrupted for a signature. 19 Then there is always the media to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.
If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. Others actively contact related social media or websites to keep the public informed of their views in time when suffering from the pressure of public opinions. 20
A．Over time, they feel separated and alone.
B．They are at the center of much of the world’s attention.
C．These celebrities start to lose track of who they really are.
D．Actually, the calmer they keep, the less trouble they will run into.
E．The phenomenon of tracking famous people has been around for ages.
F．For example, they accidentally say something silly or do something ridiculous.
G．Inadequate social recognition makes it much harder for stars to keep a positive image.


三、完形填空
One windy spring day, I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Multicolored creations of varying 21 and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds darting and dancing. As the strong winds blew hard against the kites, a 22 kept them in check.
Instead of blowing away with the wind, they arose against it to achieve great 23 They shook and 24 , facing upward and against the wind. But the restraining (约束，控制) string and the heavy 25 grasped them closely behind. As the kites 26 and trembled against the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!” They soared 27 even as they fought the restriction of the string. 28 , one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose. “Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.”
Yet 29 from restraint simply put it at the mercy of an unsympathetic 30 . It flew up and down 31 to the ground and landed in a twisted mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. “Free at last”—free to lie powerless in the 32 , to be blown helplessly along the ground, and to stuck lifeless against the first 33 .

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。
Hector stood in the front of his fifth-grade classroom as one of the last two competitors in the Room Five Geography Bee. His opponent having missed the last question, it was Hector’s turn. If he answered his question correctly, he would be the Room Five champion.
“Where did I put that second sheet of questions?” Mr. Adler whispered while searching through a thick pile of papers on his messy desk. Mr. Adler, though a great teacher, had a reputation of being disorganized with a long history of misplacing things. “Oh well, I apologize for the delay.” said Mr. Adler after what seemed like a long time. “Hector, please tell us the capital city of Brazil.” Hearing the question, Hector smiled. Then, there was the answer.
Later that day in the courtyard, many classmates congratulated Hector. Wearing a proud smile, he greeted and thanked them all. Oh, the sweet taste of victory.
As it was getting late, the courtyard became deserted. But Hector still didn’t want to leave. Then he saw Mr. Adler crossing the courtyard and holding a half-open bag full of papers. As he hurried past, an envelope dropped out but Mr. Adler was unaware, turned a corner and disappeared out of sight. Hector picked it up. On the envelope were the words “Fifth Grade Geography Bee Questions and Answers”. Hector stared wide-eyed at the envelope. Before he even had time to reflect on the consequences, he opened it and read the questions.
As soon as Hector had done it, he knew it was the wrong choice. He’d cheated and whatever he did now, he couldn’t change the fact. “What if Mr. Adler thought I stole this morning’s questions too?” Hector thought. “He’d take away my Room Five victory for sure.” Little did he know that one of the best days in his life would be turned into the worst so quickly. Torn by his conscience, Hector was totally at a loss what to do.
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。
Before he realized it, Hector found himself standing in Mr. Adler’s room.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国老字号店铺的现状。
36．考查名词。句意：它们要么让人们回忆起童年的味道，要么与节日传统和怀旧记忆有关。分析句子，该空需要一个名词，根据句意，老字号店铺是让人们怀旧的一个事物，所给词remind为动词，其名词reminder意为“提醒物，引起回忆的事物”符合题意，不定冠词修饰用单数。故填reminder。
37．考查形容词最高级。句意：其中最古老的是北京便宜坊，以其特色烤鸭而闻名，至今已有607年的历史。分析句子，该空需要一个形容词。上一句提到中国现有701家百年老字号，而便宜坊是607年老店，多家店中最古老的。所以该空应填形容词最高级形式作定语。故填oldest。
38．考查时态及主谓一致。句意：其中最古老的是北京便宜坊，以其特色烤鸭而闻名，至今已有607年的历史。所给动词survive在句中作谓语，根据时间状语“for 607 years”，从过去至今仍存在，应使用现在完成时。主语是单数，助动词使用has。故填has survived。
39．考查非谓语动词。句意：据中国商务部副部长盛秋平介绍，现有的全国知名、经商务部认可的老字号总数为1128个。该空所给动词exist意为“存在”在句中作定语修饰名词brands，不及物动词无被动，应使用现在分词形式，existing“现有的；现存的”，也可以看作是形容词作定语。故填existing。

41．考查非谓语动词。句意：正是代代相传的传统技艺和工艺，让老字号经受住了时代的变迁。动词pass意为“传递，传承”在句中作后置定语修饰名词skills and craftsmanship，被动关系，应使用过去分词形式。故填passed。
42．考查强调句型。句意：正是代代相传的传统技艺和工艺，让老字号经受住了时代的变迁。句首的It is指代不明，可以通过删除It is及该空位置来检验是否强调句型。删除后主语是the traditional skills and craftsmanship，make为其谓语动词，这些技术和工艺使得老字号经受住时代变迁，句子结构完整，句意通顺。由此可知，这是强调句型，对句子主语部分进行强调，强调的是事物，应用that。故填that。
43．考查非谓语动词。句意：虽然一些品牌保留了它们的经典风格和古老之美，但也有一些品牌对产品进行了创新，并利用数字平台来赢得年轻消费者的心。所给动词win在句中作目的状语，应使用动词不定式形式。故填to win。
44．考查介词。句意：数据显示，近350家老字号参与了直播平台。固定搭配participate in意为“参加，参与”。故填in。

47．Before he realized it, Hector found himself standing in Mr. Adler’s room. “Hector! Come and help me look for…”“This? ” Hector stopped Mr. Adler mid-sentence, holding out the open envelope. Mr. Adler’s brows were smoothed but then knitted again. Before he formed questions, Hector started unbosoming his regrets. If he had waited another moment, they would have torn him into pieces. “Can I still be in the Bee?” asked Hector timidly. “Absolutely, my honest boy,” Mr. Adler patted his shoulder. “I don’t believe in punishing people for making the right decisions and correcting their mistakes.” Immense relief washed over Hector.
The next day the entire school came to watch the Fifth Grade Geography Bee. Having been up late studying, Hector looked exhausted but extremely excited. So did all the other competitors. All the eyes fixed on the stage, Hector felt blood rushing onto his cheeks and his heart beating fast. Unfortunately, the questions Mr. Adler rewrote were so tough that he was knocked out in round three. But Hector realized to his surprise that he didn’t feel bad about losing at all. Whether others knew he was smart was of no significance. He’d set out to learn everything about the world and ended up learning more about himself.

①由第一段首句内容“在他意识到之前，Hector发现自己站在Adler先生的房间里。”可知，第一段可描写Hector向老师坦白，达到老师的谅解。
②由第二段首句内容“第二天，全校学生都来观看五年级地理知识竞赛。”可知，第二段可描Hector在竞赛中的表现，以及对输赢的认识。
2.续写线索：拿出信封——说出后悔——拍打肩膀、达到谅解——诚实参赛——失败、看淡输赢——感悟
