(时间：90分钟满分：110分)
第一部分阅读理解(共两节；满分30分)
第一节(共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

A
No one can believe that the over 6,000­kilometer Great Wall might disappear some day. Believe it or not, the Great Wall is being destroyed by people. Less than 20 percent of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty, is still perfect, but 80 percent is in danger. The Great Wall can be called “great” mostly because of its amazing length. But we should realize the length is made up of one brick at a time. If we do nothing to save the Great Wall, it will become a series of separate wasteland rather than a historic site.
The Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over the past 2,000 years. It began in the rule of China's first emperor, Qin Shihuang of the Qin Dynasty (221 BC—206 BC), and lasted into the Ming Dynasty. The parts built before the Ming Dynasty have nearly disappeared. People are familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing and Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu, because they have been open to tourists for many years. But
those_sections_far_away_from_the_public_eyes have been almost forgotten.
Few local people know the 3­meter­high walls made of earth and stones beside them are part of the Great Wall. The lack of knowledge is considered as one of the main reasons behind human. The bricks on the Great Wall are carried off by countryside people to build their houses, sheep corrals and pigsties. Some were taken away to build roads. Bricks carved with people's names are put away as remembrances. Rubbish is spread over the battlements. The bricks can be sold for 15 yuan per tractor load. Those who destroyed and are destroying the Wall know its name, but are not clear about its cultural meaning. It will take a long time to let them know this. The local farmers not only carried off the body of the Wall but also dug out entire base.
It is necessary to protect the Great Wall. First of all, the officials should be aware of the importance of the Great Wall. Young Chinese should
know more about the nation's great civilization and learn to love it.

Petra may be the treasure of the world, hidden among mountains. Its most beautiful scenery makes it the greatest ancient site still­standing nowadays. Common sense says, “P erhaps there's nothing on the planet that resembles it.” Without doubt, there's nothing in the world that resembles it. The rock­carved (雕刻的) rose­red town of Petra is filled with mysterious_charm;_it had been “designed to strike wonder into all who entere d it”．
Petra is the most well­known and beautiful site in Jordan that is about 262 km south of Amman, and 133 km north of Aqaba. The Dead Sea is 80 km north of it. It was the legacy from the Nabataeans, who settled in the southwest of Jordan a lot more than 2,000 years back. Because of its excellent culture, buildings and many water channels, Petra has
become a UNESCO world heritage site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World that attracts visitors all over the world.
To get there, you must pass through a kilometer long, cool, dark and narrow gorge (峡谷) whose two high sides keep the sunlight out. Suddenly the gorge opens right into a natural square covered with Petra's most well­known monuments (遗址), which glow in the bright sun. The old town shows the visitors its beautiful look. It leads people to think about the creativity of the Nabataeans who made Petra as their capital.
Petra flourished for more than 400 years at about the time of Rome until it had been occupied by the Roman legions in 106 AD. Petra has 800 monuments, including buildings, tombs, baths, halls, temples and streets, which were mostly carved in the pretty sandstone.
Petra sights are in their finest at the beginning of morning and late afternoon. Once the sun warms the colorful stones，you will see the greatness of Petra since it was seen first when discovered in 1812 after being lost through the 16th century for nearly 300 years!
语篇解读约旦的Petra古城是联合国教科文组织命名的世界遗产，它是新的世界七大奇迹之一。

它隐藏在深谷之中。

只有参观了它的人才能领略到它那令人惊叹的美。

4．From the text we can learn that ________.
A. Petra is on the top of a high mountain
B. Petra is a palace of the king in the old days
C. no place in the world can be similar to Petra
D. the Nabataeans built Petra in 106 AD
答案与解析 C 细节理解题。

根据第一段的Perhaps there's nothing on the planet that resembles it.可确定C项正确。

其余选项与原文意思不符。

5．What does the underlined phrase “mysterious charm” in Paragraph
1 mean?
A. The unbelievable power to attract people.
B. All kinds of visitors from the world.
C. A number of usual places of interest.
D. The shops，restaurants and hotels.
答案与解析 A 词义猜测题。

根据后文．.. it had been “designed to strike wonder into all who entered it”(它被设计出来就是为了让参观它的人感受到奇迹)可猜出该处意为：Petra充满令人难以置信的魅力。

mysterious charm“令人难以置信的魅力”。

6．According to the writer，Petra is ________.
A. about 133 km south of Aqaba
B. about 262 km north of Amman
C. 80 km south of the Dead Sea
D. in the southeast of Jordan
答案与解析 C 细节理解题。

根据第二段的The Dead Sea is 80 km north of it.可知Petra在死海南边80公里的地方。

其余选项与原文意思不符。

C
After the examination, the doctor told my parents my sight would get worse and that I would lose my sight finally. On the way home from hospital, no one said a word. One day, would I only imagine the scenery beyond the glass rather than see it?
That September, I entered middle school. Most nights I had homework that included an armful of books to read. To keep up with other children, I took great trouble to finish the task. With my nose a couple of inches from the page, I was tired easily. What's worse, after I had read several pages on my own, the words slipped off the page into inky pools.
However, then I did not have audio books and electronic devices like kids do now. Instead, Mom volunteered to read out loud. Mom worked part­time, cleaned the house, cooked and spent time with Grandma. In spite of being so busy, she showed up in my room like clockwork. She put on her reading glasses. Mom always thought those glasses made her look old. To me, she looked like a teacher.
In my room, Mom's voice competed with the ticking of the clock. Being forced to focus on listening, I found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids. When the teacher asked a question, I raised my hand with confidence. Teachers praised me for having a good memory. Reading removed my fear for my failing sight, reading also made me curious about other people's challenges and how they managed. Though I could not use my eyes to fix on each passage, my mind lit up with every new book.
True to what the doctor said, the worst came, but thanks to Mom, my sense of hearing now allows me to “see”. T his was the most precious (珍贵的) gift from a mother to her child.
语篇解读本文讲述了作者的视力有严重问题，并且最终导致失明。

但在这个过程中，他并没有放弃，而是在母亲的帮助下，利用“听”来学习，并且在学校也取得了很好的成绩。

7．Why did the author and his parents keep silent on their way back home from hospital?
A. They all wanted to have a good rest.
B. The author didn't do well in the exam.
C. What the doctor said made them worried.
D. They focused on the scenery along the road.
答案与解析 C 推理判断题。

由文章第一段第一句可知作者一家人不说话是因为医生说作者会最终失明的话使家人很担忧。

8．How did the author manage to get high marks?
A. By being confident.
B. By listening carefully.
C. By getting help from his classmates.
D. By reading as many books as possible.
答案与解析 B 推理判断题。

由文章第三和第四段可知作者利用听来学习并取得高分。

9．We can learn from the text that ________.
A. the author's sight recovered finally
B. reading made the author more sensitive
C. the author's mother didn't work to look after him
D. reading made the author not worry about his sight
答案与解析 D 推理判断题。

由文章第四段“Reading removed my fear for failing sight”可知D项正确。

10．Which of the following could be the title of the text?
A. My eyesight trouble
B. An unforgettable experience
C. With ears wide open
D. About Mother's love
答案与解析 C 标题归纳题。

文章由作者视力下降转为用听觉学习，故C 项作为标题最好。

38．who/that 先行词是boy，空格后面的从句中缺少主语，故用who/that 引导定语从句。

40．being taken 根据fancy sb.'s doing sth.“想象某人做某事”的用法可知该空填动名词形式，且take away与其逻辑主语the boy为被动关系，故填动名词的被动形式作宾语。

Dear editor ，
A few days ago I visited Daxu Old Town. _________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Yours ， Li Hua 范文
Dear_editor ，
A_few_days_ago_I_visited_Daxu_Old_Town. I become very worried about the cultural relics there after I saw some of them badly damaged. Some people throw waste paper and empty bottles everywhere, and others
draw pictures or write their names on the old walls.
Thousands of tourists visit Daxu Old Town every day. If the visitors
don't pay attention to their behavior, the cultural relics will be
destroyed. So I suggest everyone should raise awareness about protecting
our cultural relics. First of all, we can make a website about it. Then
the government should put some dustbins around the streets.
Let's try our best to keep this Old Town beautiful and welcome our
honorable guests from all over the world.
Yours，
Li_Hua。
