案
第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项
A
If you had the opportunity to live forever, would you take it? Keeping your body alive indefinitely still seems like an impossibility, but some scientists think that digital technology may have the answer: creating a digital copy of your “self” and keeping it “alive” online long after your physical body has ceased to function.
In effect, the proposal is to clone a person electronically. Unlike the familiar physical clones — children that have identical features as their parents, but that are completely separate organisms with a separate life — your electronic clone would believe itself to be you. How might this be possible? The first step would be to mapthe brain.
How? One plan relies on the development of nanotechnology (纳米技术). Ray Kurzweil — one of the kings of artificial intelligence — predicts that within two or three decades we will have nano transmitters that can be put into the bloodstream. Inthe capillaries (毛细血管) of the brain, they would line up alongside the neurons and detect the details of the cerebral (大脑的) electronic activity. They would be able to send that information to a receiver inside a special helmet, so there would be no need for any wires sticking out of the head.
As a further step, Ray Kurzweil also imagines the nano transmitters being able to connect you to a world of virtual reality on the Internet, similar to what was shown in the film “Matrix”. With the nano transmitters in place, by thought alone, you could log on to the Internet and instead of the pictures coming up on your screen, they would play inside your mind. Rather than send your friends e-mails you would agree to meet up on some virtual tropical beach.
Some peoplebelieve that they can enjoy life after death. But why wait for that when you could have a shot of nanobots (纳米机器人) and upload your brain onto the Internet and live forever as a virtual surfer?
One snag: to exist on the net you will have to have your neural network parked on the computer of a web-hosting company. These companies want real money in real bank accounts every year or they will wipe your bit of the hard disc and sell the space to someone else. With your body six feet underground how will you pay?
1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Nano transmitters can help map the human brain.
B. Electronic clones recreate the original human body.
C. Electronic clones may put their physical selves into movies.
D. Nano transmitters use a helmet to detect the cerebral activities.
2. What is the author’s attitude towards electronic clones?
A. Optimistic and careful.
B. Interested and unconvinced.
C. Excited and confused.
D. Assured and critical.
3. The author asks “how will you pay?” at the end of the article, because ________.
A. you can’t pay to exist on the Internet if you are physically dead
B. you can’t pay for hard disc space if you don’t have a bank account
C. you can’t pay for a special service if too many people want to use it
D.you can’t pay the web-hosting company if you don’t have a neural network
B
To stay healthy and fit, Chinesestudents do group exercises every day at school. Most of you probably do the same set of exercises. But some school exercises have grown popular online due to their local and innovative designs.
Singing in Sichuan dialects with energetic movements and unique mask-changing is not just a Sichuan Opera performance. It’s the routine exercise for students of Mianyang Foreign Languages Experimental School in Sichuan province.
“Sichuan Opera is a local opera, and it is now facing a gap in inheritance (传承). Therefore, we cooperated with Mianyang Intangible Cultural Heritage Center to create a simple and easy-to-learn Sichuan Opera exercise,” said Shen Junhua, who is in charge of organizing the school’s exercise between classes.
According to Shen, this new type of exercise has been practiced since 2017 and has been popular among students. When students enroll (入学), they will spend several weeks practicing it. At present, almost all of the students and teachers have mastered it.
“In fact, we had hardly heard of Sichuan Opera before teachers taught us how to do the Sichuan Opera exercise,” said Li Yangwenwen, 14, an eighth grade student who also joined the school’s Sichuan Opera club out of interest. “It’s very different from normal exercises. After practicing it, we found it very beautiful and became interested in it. Now, almost all of the students look forward to our daily exercise time and feel excited to do it.”
“By combining opera with daily exercise, the daily class activity allows students to perceive and understand Sichuan Opera’s culture”, Shen said. “After years of continuous effort to spread the seeds of traditional culture, the
younger generation is finally catching on.”
4. What do students in Shen’s school do during the group exercise?
A. They do normal exercise .
B. They sing pop songs in Sichuan dialects.
C. They do mask-changing in a Sichuan Opera performance.
D. They combine group exercise with Sichuan Opera.
5. Why do they adopt the new type of exercise?
A. To attract new students to the school.
B. To inherit local culture.
C. To create an easy-to-learn exercise.
D. To make the school’s group exercise popular.
6. How do teachers and students react to the group exercise?
A. Calm.
B. Indifferent.
C. Enthusiastic.
D. Uninterested.
7. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Shen’s continuous effort is highly praised.
B. The younger generation will have a stronger body.
C. The students can better understand their local culture.
D. Students help to spread the seeds of traditional culture toyounger generation.

Ivrea is a town in the Piedmont province of northern Italy. It is known for its localcarnival（狂欢节）organized in February.
The main part of the carnival is the famous Battle of the Oranges (La battaglia delle arance). The Battle includes nine teams who throw oranges at each other during three carnival days – Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
Oranges were not always used in the battle. In the middle ages people used beans. Twice a year the local feudal lord gave a pot of beans to the poor families who, as sign of rebellion, threw them out of their homes. Later beans became part of carnival as sort of “ammunition” for throwing at people passing by.
It is still not known why exactly people started using oranges. It is believed that the origin for this tradition is in the mid 19th century. The legend says that local girls, standing on balconies, started to throw some oranges, together with confetti,lupins(白羽扇豆)and flowers, onto the parade carriages. The girls actually wanted to draw
attention of boysin the carriages. Boys “answered” by throwing some objects back at girls. Little battle started that way.
Battle of the Oranges got strict rules after the World War II. The battles are organized on town's squares. The battles are fought between teams in carriages (symbolizing local the guards of localtyrant(恶霸)) and the teams walking beside those carriages (symbolizing rebellious people of Ivrea).
Oranges for the event are brought from the island of Sicily. The oranges used are of low quality, not suitable for humans. About 270,000 kilograms of oranges are used each year.
The carnival ends with a silent march on the night of “Fat Tuesday”. The Carnival "general" says goodbye to everyone with the phrase "See you next Fat Thursday at 1 p.m."
Special prizes are awarded to three best foot teams, three carriages drawn by two horses and three carriages drawn by four horses. Different elements are judged like for example throwing ability, fair play or decoration of carriages.
8. The word "ammunition" (paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to________.
A. decoration
B. bullets
C. advertisement
D. presents
9. In Battle of the Oranges, the teams walking beside carriages act as ________.
A. the Carnival general
B. the local feudal lord
C. the rebellious people of Ivrea
D. the guards of local tyrant(暴君)
10. Which of the following statements about Battle of the Oranges is NOT true?
A. In the middle ages, people threw beans out of homes as a sign of rebellion.
B. Girls throw oranges towards carriages in the parade to attract the attention of boys inside.
C. Tons of oranges are used every year to hold the festival.
D. People started to throw oranges because they are of low quality and not suitable to eat.
11. What is this passage mainly about?
A. A traditional activity in an Italian carnival
B. The origin of Battle of the Orange
C. How people enjoy themselves in the Orange Carnival
D. The rules of activities in carnivals in Italy

Do you ever listen to the songs that your parents like? Chances are that you don’t. You probably think the music that they like is old and boring and that the songs on your playlist are muchcooler. But scientists found that
people’s music taste changes as time goes by. So it is likely that your own musical preferences will follow a similar path to your parents’, whether you like it or not.
We used to think that culture and personality (个性) are the only reasons for different music choices. But researchers at the University of Cambridge noticed that as people enter into different age groups, their social environment changes, and so does their music taste. There are some musical periods that people go through in their life.
The first period comes in the teenage years, during which people like strong music such as punk and rock, because teenagers tend to be aggressive or want to be independent.
But as people move into early adulthood, their lifestyles change they want to build close relationships with others. As a result, they become fonder of contemporary music, such as pop and R&.B, which is usually uplifting and danceable.
When middle age comes, most people have settled down. During this period, people prefer music, such as jazz and classical, as well as music like country, folk and blues.
As for old people, they prefer old songs in their childhoods. They generally listen to relaxing music, such as country music and jazz music. But you must be questioning. “Aren’t there old people who are still interested in or even crazy about rock music?” Of course there are. But their reasons for listening to rock music may have changed. At that age people may listen to remind themselves of their youth.
12. What do young people usually think of the songs their parents enjoy?
A. They are actually less cool.
B. They are worth listening to.
C. They are especially serious.
D. They are hard to understand.
13. How many musical periods are there that people go through in their life?
A. Two.
B. Three.
C. Four.
D. Five.
14. People who want to make friends mostly prefer ________.
A. jazz music
B. country music
C. rock music
D. pop music
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. People Have Different Opinions on Music
B. People Listen to Music for the Same Reason
C. People’s Taste in Music Changes with Time
D. People’s Lifestyle Can Be Changed by Music
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
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Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them.____16____: there's no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children's curiosity.
Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, I said, “Now that we've finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?”
After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper (蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?”____17____.
Secondly, give them time to think. Studies have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer,____18____. When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers.
Thirdly,____19____. Once you have a child in a science discussion, don't jump in with “That's right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “That's interesting” or coming up with more questions or ideas.
Lastly,____20____. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass (放大镜), and they'll understand why you want them to wash before dinner.
A. show; don't tell
B. watch your language
C. no time for a child to think
D. Never push a child to wait
E. Helping them enjoy science can be easy
F. children are always thinking withoutyour telling them to
G. This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours

Some city people think country life are lonely because they're cut off from the outside world. They don't know how peace it is to be away from crowded street and busy shopping centers. They also don't knowing how friendly people in country towns and villages can be. As a matter of the fact, people are more likely to be lonely in a big city. I make more friends in a week in the country than I made during your first three months in London!
So, which is better—the city or the country? It's hard say. I think it isn't about what you live — it's about how you live. Thanks for the island holiday, I'm sure I could be just happy as well living in the country.
