A
Lost cities that have been found
The White City
In 2015, a team of explorers to Honduras in search of"the Lost City of the Monke God"led to the discovery of the White City. They found the ruins in the Mosquitia region of the Central American country which is known for poisonous snakes, vicious jaguars and deadly insects. It is believed that local people hid here when the Spanish conquerors(征服者) occupied their homeland in the16th century.
Canopus and Heracleion
Modern researchers were teased by the ancient writings about the Egyptian cities Canopus and Heracleion-where Queen Cleopatra often visited. But the cities weren’t found until 1992, when a search in Alexandria waters found that the two cities had been flooded for centuries. Artifacts(史前器物) showedthat the cities once highly developed as a trade network, which helped researchers piece together more about the last queen of Egypt. Machu Picchu
A Yale professor discovered "the Lost City in the Clouds"in 1911. A combination of palaces, plazas, temples and homes, Machu Picchu displays the Inca Empire at the height of its rule. The city, which was abandoned in the 16th century for unknown reasons,was hidden by the local people from the Spanish conquerors for centuries keeping it so well preserved.
Troy
The ancient city of Troy in homer's The Iliad was considered a fictional setting for his characters to run wild. But in 1871, explorations in northwestern Turkey exposed nine ancient cities layered (层叠) on top of each other, the earliest dating back to about5,000 years before. It was later determined that the sixth or seventh layer contained the lost city of Troy and that it was actually destroyed by an earthquake, not a wooden horse.
1.Why did people hide in the White City in the 16th century?
A.To survive the war
B.To search for a lost city.
C.To protect their country.
D.To avoid dangerous animals
2.Which of the following was related to a royal family member?

Did you know that horses talk? Well, they do, and you can lean to understand “horse talk” if you pay close attention to the horses you see.
When horses live in the wild, other animals try to eat them, so a lot of horse talk is about staying alive. Even now, when most horses live on farms, they watch for danger. For this reason, never walk behind a horse. If you surprise it, the horse might mistake you for a mountain lion or wolf and give a dangerous kick.
By watching the ears of a horse, you can get clues to what it's hearing. A horse can tum each ear in a different direction. For a wild horse, this trick is important for survival. The horse can hear something sneaking up behind it while also checking out a threatening noise in front. When a horse lets its ears down, it's feeling safe and relaxed. If horses becomeisolated, they neigh, or “whinny,” calling for company. They're saying, “Where are you? I'm over here!” If a horse snorts(哼) while holding its head high and staring at something, it's saying, “That looks dangerous. Get ready to run!” When two horses meet, they put their noses together and smell each other's breath. It's their way of asking, “Are you a friend?” Horses nicker,too. Nickering is a quiet sort of sound. This friendly noise means they're feeling secure and saying, “Clad to see you.”
In the wild, horses live in herds, with all members watching for danger. In a herd, only one horse is the leader, the “boss hoss”. The “boss hoss” is usually an older female. She watches for threats and teaches younger horses how to behave. However, others may want her job. When that happens, she pins her ears back against her head and may even bite or kick to get challengers to back off. She's using body language to say, “Hey, I'm in charge here!”
All horses know that the one who makes others move is the leader. Horses relate to people that way, too.
Horses have a language of their own. Now you know a bit of what they might be saying.
4. What is the general idea of this passage?
A. Horses can talk with their owners.
B. You can know a bit of horses' language.
C. Horses can “talk” in their own way.
D. Other animals can also learn language.
5. What does the underlined word “isolated” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Lonely.
B. Glad.
C. Sad.
D. Frightened.
6. What will a horse do when he wants to know whether another horse is a friend?
A. He will let his ears down.
B. He and another horse will put their noses together and smell each other's breath.
C They both will hold their heads high and stare at something.
D. He will give another horse a dangerous kick.
7. How will the “boss hoss” deal with her challengers?
A. By warning or fighting.
B. By watching for threats.
C. By teaching younger horses how to behave.
D. By relating to people.
C
Bertha von Suttner received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1905—she was the first woman to receive it, and also the inspiration for the creation of the Nobel Prize.
She met Alfred Nobel, a rich millionaire, by answering hisnewspaper ad for a secretary. Although she only worked for him for a few weeks, she remained good friends with Alfred Nobel for the next 20 years. When she became involved in the peace movement inEurope, she promised to keep Nobel informed of its progress. When Alfred Nobel died in 1896, his will included the establishment of a peace prize, thanks to Bertha von Suttner’s influence.
Bertha von Suttner was born in an aristocratic (贵族) military family, but she spent the second half of her life working for peace. She wrote books, attended peace conferences, gave lectures and helped organize peace
societies inAustria,GermanyandHungary, as well as the International Peace Bureau inSwitzerland. Her novel Lay Down your Arms, was one of the most influential anti-war books of all time, and helped to make her a leader of the peace movement in Europe. Its end to war theme was both the ambition (抱负) and the most important goal in the life of this great woman.
Bertha von Suttner worked so hard for peace because she believed that a terrible war would break out inEuropeif nations didn’t work hard to establish lasting peace institutions. She made many major achievements for a more peaceful world, but two months after she died, World War I broke out. A hundred years after she won the Nobel Peace Prize, nations still seem to view war as a choice to work out their problems. But like Bertha von Suttner did, many today are working hard around the world to help strengthen peace institutions and spread the idea that it’s time to put an end to war.
8. Which of the following is true about Bertha von Suttner?
A. She worked for Alfred Nobel for 20 years.
B. She helped Alfred Nobel draw up his will.
C. She persuaded Alfred Nobel to join the peace movement.
D. She inspired Alfred Nobel to establish the Nobel Peace Prize.
9. Paragraph 3 is mainly about Bertha von Suttner’s _____________.
A. efforts and contributions to the peace movement.
B. family background and work experiences.
C. writing career and life experiences.
D. ambition and goals in life.
10. What do we know aboutLay Doun Your Arms?
A. It was based on a true story.
B. It recorded Bertha von Suttner’s daily life.
C. It was about an aristocratic military family.
D. It showed Bertha von Suttner’s wish for peace.
11. What can we infer about Bertha von Suttner from the last paragraph?
A. Her fight for peace is still shared by many.
B. She failed to found peace institutions.
C. She successfully predicted awar.
D. She lost her life in World War I.
D
Concerns about health, animals and the environment are leading more people to remove meat from their diet. Plant-based meat alternatives (替代品) increasingly appear in supermarkets and restaurants. But what some people call clean meat-meat grown from cells in a laboratory—is still an idea that is just beginning.
More than 24 companies are testing lab-grown fish, beef and chicken. These businesses hope to enter the alternative meat market, which could be worth $140 billion by 2029. One of the companies, Shiok Meats, grows its product by taking shrimp cells and keeping them at a fixed temperature. They are then given nutrients in a solution (溶液). The cells become meat in four to six weeks.
This lab-grown meat’s price is high. One kilogram of it now costs $5,000, said Shiok Meats’ chief executive Sandhya Sriram. At that cost, a single pork and shrimp dumpling could be as much as $300. Sriram, avegetarian, hopes to cut the cost to $50 for one kilogram by the end of this year. “We are looking at next year, so we might be the first ever company to launch a cell-based meat product in the world,” Sriram said. “Shiok Meats still needs approval from the city’s food regulator, and that matters the most at present.”
Although people increasingly demand meat alternatives, cell-based meat companies still faceresistance(抵制) to their products. In Singapore, some people said they would give lab grown meat a second thought. “I may not exactly dare to eat it, but I do find the idea appealing because the animals in the oceans are declining,” said 60-year-old Pet Loh, while sheshopped for shrimps in a Singapore market.
Any alternative way of making animal protein without harming the environment is positive, said Paul Teng, a specialist in agriculture technology at Nanyang Technological University. But, he added, more studies are needed to understand any negative result of making cellular protein.
12. Why are more people eating less meat?
A. Because lab-grown meat has more nutrition.
B. Because plant-based food is getting popular.
C. Because meat in the market is increasingly expensive.
D. Because health and the environment are their concerns.
13. What is the most important for Shiok Meats at present according to Sriram?
A. Bringing down the price.
B. Gaining consumers’ acceptance.
C. Obtaining official permission.
D. Getting ahead of other companies.
14. Which word best describes Pet Loh’s attitude towards lab-grown meat?
A. Doubtful.
B. Uncaring.
C. Negative.
D. Positive.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. A new way to make a fortune.
B. Negative results of lab-grown meat.
C. New research findings on healthy diet.
D. A meat alternative grown in labs.

续写的词数应为150左右。

In 1989, fresh out of high school, I had the difficult task of choosing a career path before college started in three months. In those days inPakistan, there were limited options: becoming a doctor or an engineer, or entering the financial world after getting a business degree. I wasn't interested In engineering, so that I was left with medicine or business. I couldn't decide.
My uncle, an influential person in the family, suggested that I do a work placement to experience it for a month in an international company followed by a month in a hospital. After that, I could make a decision. It seemed like a brilliant idea.
I was accepted for a month's placement at a foreign bank in Karachi. I got a feel for how the world of finance functioned, made new friends, and generally enjoyed the mostly easy-going work surroundings.
The month passed rapidly, and soon I began working at a leading hospital in Karachi. The experience couldn't have been more different. The hospital had an intense environment. The days started early( at 7 am, compared to
9 am at the bank), and were filled with endless duties. And the night calls! This was crazy, working all day, through the night, and again the next day.
I began thinking about my two experiences. The bank had offered a more relaxing atmosphere, better working hours and less stress. The hospital was full of excitement and unpredictability, but the studying and training was difficult. It seemed that the business option was going to win out.
Near the end of my month at the hospital, I was driving home after an especially busy night call. In front of me was a public bus, with college students sitting on the top. As the driver weaved through (穿梭) traffic, I could see the boys shaking from side to side.
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly, a boy fell off the back of the bus.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The next day, when I went to hospital to see the boy, all his family got up, with grateful smiles on their faces. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________
