Before coming to China, the Great Wall held a mysterious and poetic quality for me. I had seen it in photos, in films and read about it in books, but my first experience of the wall gave me a very different impression. In 2014, I visited the Badaling section, certainly an attractive place with some incredible views, but perhaps due to the large number of tourists, the massive restorations and tourist facilities, it felt far different from the impression I had built up in my mind.
I have been to many different sections of the wall since then, but none have matched my high expectations until the recent National Day holiday. I decided to hike along the Jiankou section of the wall which rises more than 1,000 meters above sea level, and camp overnight to be able to take in both the sunset and sunrise.
Arriving at the top of the path, the only access point to get on to the wall itself was a ladder made of tree branches tied together with string. I climbed to one of the highest points on the wall in order to catch the sunset. Being completely alone on this unique and dangerous section of the wall, witnessing the sunset behind the mountains, was a truly unique experience.
I woke up expecting to be able to catch the sunrise, however, my weather app failed me. Getting out of the tent, I could hardly see my hand in front of my face as the whole area was covered in a thick fog. I made the decision to climb back to the top of the wall. The vast mountains with the wall cutting a path along them became visible for a few brief moments as the gusts of wind parted the clouds. In that moment, the image of the wall I had built up in my mind was finally realized. The combination of raw nature, geography and architecture are all in balance with one another. Undoubtedly, I will return to the wall and seek out new paths, but this experience will be matchless.
24.Why was the author disappointed with his first visit to the Great Wall?
A.There were not splendid views.
B.It was not a fascinating tourist destination.
C.The photos he saw before were unreal.
D.There were too many restorations and tourist facilities.
25.What did the author do at Jiankou section of the Great Wall?
A.He managed to witness the great sunrise.
B.He enjoyed the unique sunset on his own.
C.He climbed to the highest point of the Great Wall.
D.He got on to the wall through a ladder made of string.
26.What did the author think of the Great Wall in the last paragraph?
A.Disappointing. B.Terrible. C.Ordinary. D.Amazing.
27.What does the author want to tell us by sharing his experiences?
A.Nature reveals its true beauty of the Great Wall.
B.Foreign visitors should have a trip to the Great Wall
C.More attention should be paid to the protection of Heritage sites.
D.Parts of the Great wall have suffered from tourism in recent years.
C
Recently, research on how a new virtual (虚拟的) reality (VR) experience educated primary children about the fire disasters was done. It was developed by the University of South Australia, aiming to educate children to learn how to be safer in a fire.
Focusing on children aged 10-12 years old, the new VR experience presents a situation where children are tasked to look after a friend’s dog just before a fire event begins to spread. They participate in a series of problem-solving activities to help save and protect themselves and the dog.
The findings showed that more than 80 percent of children reported that they felt more confident to calmly assess the situation and make wise decisions to protect themselves from a fire. This isl especially important considering that 91 percent of participants originally lacked any knowledge of fires, and that 67 percent had said that they were too young to make safety decisions in a fire.
The researchers believed such immersive (沉浸式的) VR experiences had real potential (潜力) to attract and educate the young. “As children born in digital times, they are interested in such technology and they can experience events realistically yet within the safe environment.” said Delene Weber, one of the researchers. “Well-designed VR can provide a chance for children to apply newly-acquired knowledge, strengthen their learnt concepts, and enable immediate reaction—all incredibly valuable learning tools.”
Meanwhile, because children have fewer life experiences, aren’t as physically strong, and are less likely to have learned much about fire safety, they’re often most at risk. Yet the ability for children to contribute to fire safety at their household should not be underestimated (低估).
“Children do not need to be passively attacked by disasters and with purpose-built virtual reality experiences such as these, we can help children understand the risks and realize they can help,” said Weber.
28.How does the new VR experience try to educate children?
A.By introducing a virtual friend to them. B.By finding the causes of a fire event.
C.By letting them solve virtual problems. D.By guiding them to ask a dog for help.
29.What did the result of the research about VR experiences show?
A.Many children found it hard to adapt to them.
B.They helped children deal with fire postively.
C.They benefited children with knowledge of animals.
D.Most children had a misunderstanding about them.
30.What is Weber’s attitude towards the new VR experiences?
A.Doubtful. B.Indifferent. C.Disapproving. D.Supportive.
31.What can be the most suitable title for the text?
A.VR experiences educate kids to survive a fire B.VR experiences make learning easier for kids
C.VR education appeals to the young generation D.VR technology makes no sense in fighting a fire.
D
Several years ago, a worldwide heavy rain was predicted, but no one got prepared for what was to come. Then, some areas received over 100 mm of rain. Cars and trucks floated down the streets. Whole buildings were swept away. At least 225 people lost their lives, and millions became homeless.
The weather is always changing. Over the past few years, heavy rains have led to floods in many parts of the world. Droughts have taken place in Brazil and Australia. There have been heat waves in Europe which killed thousands. There have been more powerful hurricanes and tornadoes than ever before. In 2017 alone, the financial cost from global weather events was up to 340 billion dollars.
With more wild weather events happening, people couldn’t help asking questions: What is happening with the weather? And why? Is this natural, or our fault? The answer seems to be: a little of both. Wild weather is natural. But most scientists hold the same view that human activity has made the Earth warmer. It is this global warming that makes heat waves more likely. The higher temperatures also result in more water to go into the air, which causes heavier and more frequent rain. Many scientists also believe global warming makes hurricanes and other storms stronger.
This means we’re likely to see more wild weather. “But we don’t have to just stand there and accept it,” says scientist Michael. He and other experts say we need to stop the Earth from getting warmer. We also need to be prepared, to do things that will help save lives.
32.What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?
A.A past weather event happened in some areas in the world.
B.Some facts are listed about the global warming.
C.A number of recent weather events happened over the world.
D.Wild weather is partly the result of human activity.
33.How does paragraph two develop?
A.By giving a lot of examples of recent wild weather events.
B.By describing a serious flood that once happened.
C.By predicting how the weather will change in a few years.
D.By comparing the former wild weather with what happened now
34.What does scientist Michael’s words mean?
A.People can not do anything to prevent wild weather.
B.If people stop global warming, the weather will be better.
C.It is too late to stop global warming.
D.People have to stand by and accept what will happen to us.
35.Where can you probably find the text?
A.In a tourist brochure B.In a research paper
C.In a science fiction D.In a nature magazine

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Being resilient isn’t about avoiding misfortune, but rather how we respond to it. Resilience means “doing well in the face of risk or misfortune,” says Suniya Luthar, co-founder of Authentic Connections, a company that helps teach resilience and well-being.
36 . “We all get depleted (筋疲力尽) from time to time, and the big epidemic has almost emptied the resilience of nearly everyone, at one time or another,” says Ann Masten, a professor of child development at the University of Minnesota.
Even if you consider yourself resilient, you may need a booster dose (21128 剂量) in especially hard times. 37 .Nurture (培育) relationships
38 , says Michael Ungar, author of Change Your World: The Science of Resilience and the True Path to Success. When misfortune strikes, a supportive friend with good listening skill can make a big difference. And if you want your friends and family to support your resilience, remember to support theirs too.Find a sense of purpose
39 , Ungar says. Your sense of purpose doesn’t have to come from school or work; it can also come from hobbies or volunteer projects, like growing a backyard vegetable garden or cleaning up litter in a neighborhood park.Don’t try to banish (消除) misfortune completely
Resilience usually refers to how we deal with serious misfortune, Masten says, but our reactions to big problems may be inspired partly by the many small problems we face in daily life. “ 40 . And gradually our adaptive systems will be improved,” she says.
A.To build resilience, experts suggest the following
B.Recently we’ve all needed to draw on our resilience
C.Everyone starts out with a different level of resilience
D.Set up and maintain a support network before you need it
E.Take some time every day to care for your mind and your body
F.When somebody needs you, you just deal with stress much better
G.Everyday stress probably helps us learn how to deal with bigger challenges

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。
Everyone’s first job is special, because you gain useful experience that you can use in other positions in future. It also teaches you about the value of money.
When I was about sixteen years old, I wanted to buy albums of my favourite band, but I did not have any money. This was because the money my parents gave me was just enough to get by. I had to find a part-time job in order to purchase the music I wanted.
Luckily, I found that there were many old people who needed help in my neighbourhood. And I chose the oldest person I knew, Mrs. Hudson, who was over eighty years old, and could not tend her garden anymore. She had flowers, a grass lawn, and some tomato plants. I knocked on her door, trying to build up enough courage to ask her for work. She answered that indeed she needed help in her garden.
My first job was to pull out weeds. I got down on my knees and began to pull them out one by one in her front yard and backyard. Finishing this tiring and boring task, I mowed her lawn front and back. That was the first day of my job, and it took me about two hours. After that, I was paid ten dollars for my work. It was less than I thought, but at least I had earned my first money.
After getting that ten dollars, I intended to go to the supermarket to buy my favourite album. I chose a nice morning to do it because I knew it would be a memorable moment when I was able to buy what I liked through my efforts. But on the way to supermarket, I happened to see my mom “working” on the opposite side of the road. Actually, I had never seen how she worked before, I just knew she was a saleswoman.
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。
Under the burning sun, my mom was distributing leaflets (分发传单) to passers-by, sweating all over.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then I continued making my way to the supermarket, and suddenly a good idea occurred to me.
