AIn December, a train carrying products from China arrived in Spain’s capital，Madrid，which suggested the longest railway across the Asian and European continents was open．The railway is one of the most recent transportation projects that China has financed in Europe．China is paying to improve roads，bridges and railroads to increase trade and improve relationships between East Asia and Europe，China’s biggest trading partner．The train carrying 40 containers began in Yiwu in November, traveled 1 3，000 kilometers and arrived in Madrid three weeks later．A ship would take about six weeks to make the same trip．The train is to return to China with Spanish wine and food before the beginning of the Chinese New Year in February．China is investing a lot of money to improve bridges and roads in Europe．It recently paid $167 million to build a bridge over Danube River in Serbia(塞尔维亚)．Chinese Premier Li Keqiang attended the opening ceremony．Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said，“The bridge is the first of many investments China will make in the country．It is a sign of friendship between China and Serbia．There will be more such projects with China．”Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi

world．21．What is China’s aim of investing in Europe?A．To help poor European countries．B．To carry more products to sell there．C．To build more roads，bridges and railways．D．To improve trade and relations

visitors．Usually, an ossuary is just a site where bones are kept，but this one is very different．It is an ossuary richly decorated with bones of mote than 40，000 human skeletons(骨架)，a strange fact that led to its nickname—the Bone Church．The current location of the Sedlec Ossuary was originally a cemetery．In 1278，the headmaster of Sedlec paid a visit to the Holy Land，and on his return，he brought back a handful of earth from Golgotha，the area where Jesus is thought to have been crucified(钉在十字架上)．The headmaster spread the soil in the cemetery and word went around that the place was blessed．Soon，people from all over Europe wanted to be buried there．In the 15th century,the cemetery was nearly out of place，so to make room for newcomers，some of the older bones were removed from the cemetery and stored in an ossuary they built．At the time，however, the bones were merely piled up and not carefully arranged．It was Frantisek Rint，a wood carver, who rearranged the burial site and transformed it into the magnificent Bone Church．In 1870，he cleaned up thousands of bones and carefully pieced them together in various shapes．The designs include two chalices，several candleholders，a noble family crest，a splendid chandelier, and much more．Equally astonishing are the six bell-shaped pyramids of bones in the four corners of the ossuary．Together, they express the short life of human beings．To this day, tourists can’t help but feel small after a visit to the Bone Church．24．What makes Sedlec Ossuary different?A．It has a special nickname．B．It is decorated with bones．C．It keeps bones of common people．D．It’s originated from a cemetery.25．Why would people like to be buried in Sedlec?A．It was well managed．B．It was where Jesus was buffed．C．People saw it as home．D．People believed it was blessed．26．Why was an ossuary built in the 15th century?A．To reuse the bones．B．To sort out the bones．C．To enlarge the cemetery．D．To manage space for newcomers．27．What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us?A．We human beings are great．B．The church was amazingly decorated．C．Frantisek Rint is a great carver．D．The bones in the church are valuable．C“Don't be a dreamer, be a dream DO-ER!”says Jordan Chancy，a full-time American poet．Born in Alexandria, Virginia，Chancy has devoted his talents to writing poems and books．He firmly believes that he has just as much personality, creativity, and go-getter-ness in him that he decided to go after his wildest childhood dream and that is to be who he is today：a poet with a paycheck．In Chancy’s opinion，as a full-time poet，one should get out to meet people and make real friends．What’s more，networking ability is necessary and is the strongest base．When he was young，he read a poem with all evil plot called Mr．H．It influenced him deeply and gave him a good understanding of metaphor(比喻) as a tool for expressing himself with words· When he was 21．he decided to be a poet．He thought he could save the world with his poems and inspire people to start pursuing their dreams and goals again．However,“when I shared my ambitions to be a career poet with some of my old friends，I was discouraged and warned of how fruitless the pursuit would eventually be，”he says．“I think the misconception that people have about my job is that it is not important or truly needed or in demand，but I am doing it with poetry and stories of success and also educating people how to express themselves in the same way．What I do is definitely in demand．Fortunately,99％of the people in my life today are the most loving and supportive people I could ever ask for．28．What does the quote at the beginning show?A．Chancy’s determination．B．Chaney’s talent．C．Chaney’s writing style．D．Chaney’s special too1．29．What does the underlined word“misconception”mean?A．Wrong

poems．D．Possessing networking ability．31．What’s the main purpose of the passage?A．To share Chancy’s ambitions with us．B．To evaluate Chaney as a famous poet．C．To urge us to be dream-doers as Chaney．D．To ask us to be full-time poets as Chaney．DWhen people reunite with their loved ones，it’s usually all extremely happy moment．But what is their most common response to seeing them again? It may seem strange，but most of the time they break down in tears．Now a group of psychologists from Yale University say they have found the reason why，and that crying tears of joy may well be the body’s way of keeping emotional balance．Theyseem to take place when people are overtaken by strong positive emotions，and people who do this seem to recover better from those strong emotions，”Oriana Aragon，the lead researcher said．Aragon and her fellow psychologists looked at hundreds of participants’emotional responses to different things，including happy reunions and cute babies．Many participants said they would react in a negative or aggressive way to the positive things——to cry at happy moments and want to pinch(捏)a cute baby’s face or even tell them“I want to eat you up!”But then researchers found that these people were able to calm down from strong emotions more quickly．There are many other examples of times when people respond to a positive experience with a negative emotional reaction．At an exciting concert，fans scream at their idols(偶像)．People who have just had a big lottery win are often in floods of tears．“These findings advance our understanding of how people express and control their emotions，which is importantly related to mental and physical health，the quality of relationships with others，and even how well people work together．”said Aragon．32．What have professors from Yale University found in their research?A．The reason why people cry with tears．B．Crying tears of joy helps to balance emotions．C．Strong negative feelings are useful to people．D．People recover slowly from strong emotions．33．What does the underlined“they”in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?A．Strong positive emotions．B．Participants’emotional responses．C．Times when people cry tears of joy．D．Times when people reunite with friends．34．Which of the following agrees with the findings of the research?A．Crying at good news．B．Crying at a failure．C．Kissing a cute baby．D．Laughing at happy reunions．35．Where does the passage most likely come from?A．A science fiction novel．B．A psychological science journal．C．A popular biology book．D．An adolescent literature book．第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
