【题目】 Archeology (考古学)isn't the dusty science it was a generation ago. New technologies that once seemed out of sci-fi are now locating buried traces of buildings and revealing the ruins of cities.

For more than a decade, Sarah Parcak and her team have been on the front line of this revolution. They use satellite images to find and explore ancient sites around the globe. Now they're about to take on a new challenge as they focus Global Xplorer citizen-science project on India.

In 2017, Parcak launched an online platform, called Global Xplorer, to crowd source (群众外包)the initial assessment of satellite images for signs of cultures from long ago. Anyone in the world with a computer and Internet access could help discover and protect remains of Peru's rich cultural heritage. The results have been surprising. About 80,000 participants from a hundred countries have identified 19,000 sites that were not in Peru's database. The platform for Peru is still running.

If all goes well, the work in India could last for years. "India has had relatively little archaeological work done," Parcak says. Also, the full extent of India's archaeological work has never been mapped completely. Parcak expects her project to make up that. Wherever we end up going, the crowd's going to be able to see extraordinary things," Parcak says.

Thirty six India's cultural heritage relics are already listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Parcak thinks there could be tens of thousands of as yet unknown sites mapped as part of this project. The discoveries promise to be amazing across the land that has seen a parade of cultures come and go.

In the future, she hopes other countries will contact her to launch their own satellite surveys. The possibilities are huge. Parcak estimates that there are at least 12 million potential archaeological sites yet to be discovered. That means the sky is the limit for her project now that it has gotten off the ground successfully.

1What's the purpose of Parcak's project?

A.To interview citizens via the Internet.

B.To dig out more remains of ancient cities.

C.To build databases for unknown cultural heritage.

D.To identify unknown ancient sites through joint efforts.

2What do we know about the participants in Peru project?

A.They are Internet-equipped volunteers.

B.They are well-trained voluntary scholars.

C.They are mostly fans of archeology in Peru.

D.They are all archaeologists all over the world.

3Why is Parcak's project important to India?

A.India lacks thorough archaeological work.

B.Indians call for the protection of their rich cultures.

C.There's no amazing archaeological discovery in India.

D.India needs more relics listed as World Heritage Sites.

4What does the underlined sentence "The possibilities are huge. " in Paragraph 6 mean?

A.Parcak's project will become successful.

B.Few countries will start satellite surveys.

C.There will be amazing discoveries in India.

D.More archaeological sites will be identified.

【答案】

1D

2A

3A

4D

【解析】

这是一篇夹叙夹议的记叙文。通过记叙萨拉创立现代考古平台Global Xplorer的一些经历,来发表一些观点。比如,考古不再是几十年前灰头土脸的科学,而是可以利用高科技来定位和发掘这些埋在城市废墟底下的古迹了。

1

推理判断题。这是推理判断题类型里的目的意图题。问帕卡克项目的目的是什么。首先定位在帕卡克项目第一次出现的地方:第一段末尾和第二段开头两句话:Now they're about to take on a new challenge as they focus Global Xplorer citizen-science project on India.现在他们即将接受一个新的挑战,他们将把全球公民科学项目的重点放在印度。In 2017, Parcak launched an online platform, called Global Xplorer, to crowd source (群众外包)the initial assessment of satellite images for signs of cultures from long ago.2017年,Parcak推出了一个名为Global Xplorer的在线平台,用于对卫星图像进行初步评估,寻找远古文明的迹象。从这些信息可以看出来帕卡克是想发动群众的力量来寻找古迹,而网络是最方便的路径。这句意图对很久以前的文化古迹卫星图像进行初始评估也就是说通过群众即大家的力量来辨别卫星图像。此意与D选项切合:To identify unknown ancient sites through joint efforts.通过联合的力量来辨识不知名的古迹。故选D。

2

推理判断题。通过题干中的participants in Peru project定位文章中的相应位置。Anyone in the world with a computer and Internet access could help discover and protect remains of Peru's rich cultural heritage.文章中说全世界任何拥有电脑和能上网的人都帮助找出,并发现、保护秘鲁丰富的文化遗产。这句话足以说明此题的答案全世界任何拥有电脑和能够上网的人即是参与者participants,他们不需要培训,所以B选项排除;他们也不一定对在秘鲁的考古感兴趣,所以排除C;他们是来自于全世界各地的考古学家,更是无中生有,可以排除。因此A选项:“They are Internet-equipped volunteers.他们都是网络装备好了的志愿者们”最切合题意。故选A。

3

细节理解题。审题得知帕卡克的项目对于印度很重要的原因是什么。可以浏览信息得知定位于第四段:If all goes well, the work in India could last for years. 如果一切进展顺利,印度的考古工作得延续十年以上。"India has had relatively little archaeological work done," Parcak says.帕卡克说,“印度的考古工作做得相对来说比较少” Also, the full extent of India's archaeological work has never been mapped completely.此外,印度考古工作的全部范围从未被完全绘制出来。因此可以推出印度的考古还是很欠缺的。而A选项:“India lacks thorough archaeological work.印度缺乏彻底的考古工作”切合题意。这里完全thorough和completely同义转换得来的。所以推出此题答案为A选项。故选A。

4

词义猜测题。此题实际为猜测句意题。此类题目一定要回扣文章,看句子的出处。句子的前一句是:In the future, she hopes other countries will contact her to launch their own satellite surveys. 将来,她希望其他国家会联系她发起他们自己的卫星调查。句子的后一句是: Parcak estimates that there are at least 12 million potential archaeological sites yet to be discovered.帕卡克估计至少有1200万潜在的古迹遗址还没有被发现。这么多的古迹遗址没有被发现,其被发现的可能性是很高的。据此可推出D选项:More archaeological sites will be identified.更多的考古遗址会被确认。这和文章意思切合。故选D。

【题目】阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

I was standing in the checkout line behind a woman who looked to be in her 60s. When it was her turn to pay, the cashier greeted her by name and asked her how she was doing.

The woman looked down, shook her head and said, “Not so good. My husband just lost his job and my son is up to his old tricks again. The truth is, l don’t know how I’m going to get through the holidays.” Then she gave the cashier food stamps(食品券).

Neither did I know how I could get through the days a year ago during my fresh year in the company. I didn’t know the rules, I was not familiar with the work, and I couldn’t feel the value of myself. I was even wondering whether I could get along, as my father was gone, my mother had no work and my brother was only 7. That feeling was exactly what the woman had said. Fortunately, things had changed since I received my colleague’s card, from which I felt the encouragement, and sensed happiness falling upon me again.

So I really wanted to help but didn’t know how. Should I offer to pay for her groceries, or ask for her husband’s resume (简历)? As I walked into the parking lot, I spotted the woman returning her shopping cart. Suddenly I remembered something in my purse that I thought could help her. It wasn’t a handful of cash or an offer of a job for her husband, but maybe it would make her life better.

Then I approached the woman. My heart pounded as this was the first time that I had come with the idea to help a stranger.

“Excuse me,” I said, my voice trembling a bit. “I couldn’t help accidentally hearing what you said to the cashier. It sounds like you’re going through a really hard time right now. I’m so sorry. I’d like to give you something.”

I handed her the small card from my purse.

续写要求:

1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语;

3. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;

4. 续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。

When the woman read the card, she began to cry.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.

After we embraced, I walked back to my car and the words on the card crowded into my mind again.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.

【题目】 It has been two months since I moved to China, but its digital advancement hasn’t stopped impressing me ever since. One of the major things that I cannot imagine living without anymore is mobile payment. There are two major mobile payment apps here, Alipay and Wechat Pay. Both have similar payment features, though Wechat is more like a social media. That’s why I will focus on this “super app”.

So far, I’ve been overwhelmed by how convenient life can be with Wechat. It is present in every aspect of people’s daily life, from paying water and electricity bills, meals, cinema tickets to hailing a taxi, following news, and chatting with friends. Most merchants have adopted it, from tiny local street food stalls to high-end stores. A cashier may be surprised if you do not pay with Wechat or Alipay at the grocers or in restaurants. And it seems like the entire payment industry has encouraged this shift to mobile payment, equipping payment terminals (终端) with QR code scanners to simplify payments. Mobile payments are so common here that I realize that I can perfectly survive if I forget my wallet at home one day because most days I just don’t take it out of my bag!

As mentioned earlier, Wechat is also a major social media platform with about one billion daily users, which is more than the entire population of the European Union. So I have to say Chinese technological and digital development is a real miracle.

1What does the underlined word mean in Paragragh 2?

A.encouraged.B.shocked.

C.confused.D.panicked.

2What can we learn from the passage?

A.Wechat is more a social media than Alipay.

B.All merchants have adopted mobile payment.

C.A cashier may be surprised if you pay with Wechat or Alipay.

D.It causes trouble if you don’t take your wallet with you.

3The best title of the passage might be ________.

【题目】 You may have come across the picture that has a number drawn on the floor with two people standing on either side of the number. One person sees a 6, and the other sees a 9.1

They could either stay there arguing and holding on to their ideas, or they could move around and see the difference in their thoughts. This is perspective (视角).

2The world would be a better place if people understood this. But before you start thinking of how you can start seeing things from the perspective of another person, you need to first know what a life perspective is.

Just like the example, life perspective is the way we see life, including the way we approach life and all that are in our personal experience. 3 What we usually have are two different perspectives on one thing. We have a person saying something is bad and should not be done, and then we have another person saying that “bad” is a strong word to use for the same thing.

4And everyone sees things a lot differently compared to the next person. This makes life more complex because, instead of seeing the similarities we share, we often focus on what is different, which leads to disagreements and fights.5It's likely that these problems no longer annoy you.

A.There are more than 7 billion people in the world.

B.In our life, few things are absolutely right or wrong.

C.It seems difficult to decide which perspective is wrong.

D.Simply make a switch and see from a different perspective.

E.A perspective on life can be shaped, changed, or explained.

F.They are both right, yet they are wrong in the eyes of the other person.

G.And they usually make us believe that we are the one who s holding the truth.

【题目】 Where should an adventurous tourist go? After you've done sightseeing in London, shopping in New York, enjoyed the local food in Paris, and danced to your heart's content at the Brazilian carnival, where else can you go? What attractive tourist destination awaits you?

Well, Antarctica sounds like the holiday of a lifetime! It's considered the last great wilderness on Earth. Just a few scientists in research stations share the icy landscape with penguins and other animals which can struggle with the low temperatures.

Tourism began in Antarctica in the 1950s and it's still small part. About 37,000 tourists are expected there this season, but many won't even leave the boat.

The BBC’s Juliet Rix visited the frozen continent and asked herself if she should be there at all, causing potential problems to such a sensitive environment. Her tour guide admitted that all visitors leave a footprint and they all go to the same places, the accessible coastline, which is also where the penguins and seals go to raise.

But some people believe that if carefully controlled, tourism can be good for Antarctica. It has no native population and it needs advocates. Visitors to the icy continent might be ready to support and even to fund its preservation. And they're likely to engage in the discussion about global warming, which has led to the melting of glaciers.

According to Rix, guidelines are followed when you're about to set foot in Antarctica and tourists have to disinfect their boots to make sure no alien species are introduced.

And once on land, there's no eating or smoking. Rocks, bone fragments—nothing should be taken as a souvenir and nothing should be left behind.

Tourists fortunate enough to visit the Antarctic must be aware that this is not their home and keep their fingers crossed that future generations will also be able to enjoy such breathtaking views.

1What can we infer from the second paragraph?

A.The Antarctic has become the best place for people to travel.

B.Only scientists can be allowed to go to Antarctic.

C.Antarctic is less affected by human activities.

D.No animals can survive in Antarctic expect penguins.

2Juliet Rix’s travel in Antarctic mentioned in the fourth paragraph indicates that .

A.whether tourists should go to Antarctic or not should be considered carefully

B.governments should take measures to stop tourists from going to Antarctic

C.the animals’ habitat in Antarctic has been seriously affected by tourism

D.only journalists begin to pay attention to the environmental protection in Antarctic

3What does the underlined word “disinfect” in the sixth paragraph probably mean?

A.Clean.B.Move.

C.Remove.D.Change.
