A swimmer told me the water felt colder than it had been measured, and that the water was a bit rough. But I, along with 10,000 others, was about to complete the challenge.Most of the people taking part were doing a one-mile race, and 10 races were planned over the weekend. There seemed to be a mix of open-water enthusiasts alongside complete beginners—which is precisely the aim of the swims, to get as many people as possible completing their own challenge. The oldest woman competing was 77, taking part in the two-mile race, alongside a man who last year had swum in every one-mile race.I had chosen the third one-mile race of the day. There were over 600 people in my race. We were taken through an acclimatization area, a children’s paddling pool-sized part of the lake where we moved in to feel how cold the water was. “Not too bad” was everyone’s thought! Thenwe headed out towards the middle of the lake.We’d been warned that the first 100 metres would be really rough. However, somewhere near the 750m mark I was still waiting for the calm; it felt more like swimming in the sea than a lake. I tried to focus on my breathing and technique, and just keep going. As I approached the 400m-to-go mark my lower right leg became painful. I recalled overhearing people talking about how they kept swimming through the pain, so I trie d. But it didn’t work. I began to feel the entire leg tight and painful. I didn’t want to stop, so I bent my right knee and just kicked with the left leg.Finally I saw the finishing post, and I just concentrated on getting there—still one-legged. My finis hing time was 38 minutes 25 seconds but that didn’t matter—the atmosphere was fantastic and everyone felt a sense of achievement, whatever their time. I’m hooked, and want to give it another go. I’ve already signed up for my next open-water swim.24．How did the author feel before the race?A．Scared of the most challenging race.B．Disappointed by the difficult conditions.C．Concerned about the other swimmers in the race.D．Determined to be as tough as the people around her.25．Why does the author mention the two people in Paragraph 2?A．To stress the importance of the race.B．To praise the experienced swimmers.C．To show the wide range of the participants.D．To introduce the various events of the race.26．The author suggests in Paragraph 4 that ______.A．the race would cause breathing problemsB．the race became harder than she had expectedC．it was really necessary to prepare for tough swimsD．it would have been easier if she had taken others’ advice27．What does the author talk about in the last paragraph?A．Her confidence in her own ability.B．Her pride in having swum so quickly.C．Her eagerness to repeat the experience.D．Her surprise at having managed to finish.CImagine walking through an ancient city, then climbing a gate tower to take in a wonderful view of the city and its more than 600-year-old walls. You can hear the city's heartbeat in the air. This is Pingyao Ancient City in Shanxi Province, a place that should definitely be on your travel route if you enjoy history or ancient architecture since its origins can be traced back to more than 2,700 years ago.Located in the center of Shanxi Province, Pingyao is the hometown of Jin merchants, a group of merchants who actively dominated (支配）a booming commodity market throughout China for more than 500 years, especially during the Ming and Qing dynasties. After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the city's agriculture and manufacturing industries developed rapidly. Following China's reform and opening up, Pingyao struggled for the transition from a managed economy to the current market-oriented economy. During this time, the city government sought out new ways to break through this economic bottleneck.Finally in the winter of 1997, opportunity came knocking. Through the efforts of the city government, Pingyao earned its place on the UNESCO World Heritage list, which caused the entire world to take notice of the city.Since the city's fame rose, locals in Pingyao have deepened their understanding of the conservation efforts preserving the historical relics in their hometown. Meanwhile the city administration has continued to upgrade itself through a strategy that follows the pillars of "conservation, entrepreneurship, development and protection".Currently, the city is focused on establishing a sustainable industry that will enable it to continue to grow while also protecting its relics and introducing them to the world.28．What does the underlined word "transition" in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Exploration. B．Spread.C．Application. D．Change.29．What contributed to Pingyao's popularity around the world?A．The city government's hard work.B．The official recognition by the UNESCO.C．The development of Pingyao's economy.D．The ancient architecture in the city.30．What measure is taken to further develop the city?A．Combining the economy with cultural protection.B．Constructing more modern buildings.C．Learning from other cities in the world.D．Establishing the manufacturing industry.31．How is the text developed?A．By giving examples.B．By following the time order.C．By listing reasons.D．By raising questions.D“What is civilization?” asked Kenneth Clark 50 years ago in the influential BBC series on the subject. “I don’t know, and I can’t define it in abstract terms, yet. But I think I c an recognize it when I see it, and I’m looking at it now.” And he turned to gesture behind him, at the soaring Gothic towers and flying buttresses of Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院).It seems inhuman to care more about a building than about people. That the sight of Notre Dame going up in flames has attracted so much more attention than floods in southern Africa which killed over 1,000 arouses understandable feelings of guilt. Yet the widespread, intense grief at the sight of the cathedral’s collapsing steeple (尖塔) is in fact profoundly human—and in a particularly 21st-century way.It is not just the economy that is global today, it is culture too. People wander the world in search not just of jobs and security but also of beauty and history. Familiarity breeds affection. A building on whose sunny steps you have rested, in front of which you have taken a selfie with your loved one, becomes a warm part of your memories and thus of yourself.This visual age has given beauty new power, and social media have turned great works of artinto superstars. Only a few, though, have achieved this status. Just as there is only ever a handful of world-famous actors, so the pantheon (万神殿) of globally recognizable cultural symbols is tiny: the Mona Lisa, Michelangelo’s David, the Taj Maha l, the Great Pyramid—and Notre Dame. Disaster, too, is visual. In the 24 hours after the fire started, videos on social media of the burning cathedral were viewed nearly a quarter of a billion times.Yet the emotions the sight aroused were less about the building itself than about what losing it might mean. Notre Dame is an expression of humanity at its collective best. Nobody could look up into that arched (拱形的) ceiling without wondering at the collective genius of the thousands of unknown craftsmen who, over a century and a half, realized a vision so grand in its structural ambition and so delicate in its hand-made detail. Its survival through 850 years of political unrest—through war, revolution and Nazi occupation—binds the present to the past.32．The BBC series in the first paragraph is mentioned to show ________.A．Notre Dame is a typical example of civilizationB．civilization is supposed to be defined in abstract termsC．civilization was founded in the past and lasts for decadesD．it’s cruel to care more about buildings than about people33．Notre Dame fire has aroused worldwide concerns because ________.A．the disaster coincided with the floods in southern AfricaB．people has lost a historical landmark to take a selfie and restC．France’s economic pro sperity has made it a must-see place for visitorsD．cultural globalization has bred a common sense of cultural identity34．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．People’s sadness at the misfortune mainly lies in the building itself.B．People wondered who contributed to such an artistic achievement.C．Notre Dame is a witness to Nazi invasion and French revolution.D．Fortunately we are blessed with countless splendid works of art.35．What might be the best title for the passage?A．Notre Dame: The Architectural TreasureB．Notre Dame: The Humanistic ExpressionC．Notre Dame: A Victim To Natural DisasterD．Notre Dame: A Must-be Tourist Attraction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。
