21、A 5,300-year-old Chinese city that provides the earliest example of civilisation in the country has been named China’s latest UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Liangzhu Archaeological Site in Zhejiang Province was designated a “cultural site” at the ongoing UNESCO meeting in Baku, Azerbaijan, bringing the total number of Chinese heritage sites to 55 — surpassing (超过) Italy as the country with the largest number in the world.
The ruins, located in Hangzhou, sit on the plain of river networks in the basin of the Yangtze River and date back to around 3,300 BC. The site covers an area of 14.3 square kilometers and includes relics of 11 dams, cemetery sites (墓址), a water protection system and walls that give evidence to an early Chinese city civilization, with planing rice as the economic foundation.
The discovery of the site was of “primary importance” as it provides good evidence that Chinese civilization started around 5,000 years ago — 1,000 years earlier than previously (先前的) thought. Colin Renfrew, a retired professor of archaeology at the University of Cambridge said, “So when we are talking about the origins (起源) of state society in China, we can think of the Liangzhu instead of the Shang civilization around 1,500 BC.”
The site was first discovered in 1936 when a team of archaeologists unearthed some pottery (陶器) and began searching for further evidence. A breakthrough came in 1986 when a cemetery site with around 1,200 artifacts (手工艺品) was uncovered. The walls of the city were discovered in 2007 and the surrounding water protection system was unearthed in 2015. Archaeologists think that it would have taken 4,000 people working for ten years to build the system.
The decision to add the site to the UNESCO list is the result of more than twenty years’ work, with preparations starting in 1994. The site is now open to tourists, but the number allowed to visit the site is limited to 3,000 a day and bookings (预定) must be made online.
【1】What dos the underlined word “designated” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Made.
B．Named
C．Developed.
D．Created.
【2】Why is the discovery of the site very important?
A．It proves state society’s origins around 1500 BC.
B．It proves the existence of Shang civilisation.
C．It proves China’s 5000-year-old civilisation.
D．It proves China has the longest civilisation.
【3】What can be inferred from the text?
A．A burial site was first unearthed in 1994.
B．It took 4,000 people 10 years to build the city walls.
C．It took UNESCO 20 years to include the site in its list.
D．China is taking measures to protect the site.
【4】Which might be the best title for the text?
A．Liangzhu Archaeological Site included in UNESCO Word Heritage List
B．The total number of world heritage sites in China reached 55
C．Liangzhu City provides China’s earliest example of civilization
D．China became the country with the largest number of heritage sites
22、 You have heard the words “that which does not kill you makes you stronger”. I have found it true. But I also believe in the philosophy that we are not defined (定义) by what happens to us, but by what we do when things happen to us.
Some friends think we have had far more than our share of bad things occur, but I don’t think bad things are shared. They are events that occur as the result of many aspects, sometimes far past our control or even knowledge of them. I am also a firm believer in the laws of unintended consequences — one event causes things that are quite unexpected, sometimes positive, sometimes not.
So as I considered the question of “What motivates me?” and sought an answer, it struck me that I simply refuse to be defeated. I won’t let life or events tear me down to the point at which I am no longer me, or simply stop being.
In 2008, I battled three types of cancer, had four cancer operations, the firm I worked for closed without notice, my wife was in a horrible car accident, got laid off from her company, the economy devastated our life savings, … and that was for starters.
We also lost two family members and my closest friend. He was the last person I would expect to pass away out of our friends. But a disease took hold of him 9 years earlier. His memorial service was filled with love, and many of us told about his joy of life, humor, his achievements, and the challenges he had overcome in his life — which were many and painful. He would not be defeated in his life either.
Today, my wife and I are hand-in-hand, continuing trying to live our lives with dignity, although living it differently from the end of 2007.
【1】Which of the following does the author most agree with?
A. We should take our share of bad things.
B. One event may cause many unexpected results.
C. Many bad things could have been prevented by us.
D. Humans are sometimes defined by their surroundings.
【2】Which of the following can best describe the author’s experience in 2008?
A. A bad beginning makes a bad ending. B. He who laughs last laughs best.
C. Misfortunes never come alone. D. No pains, no gains.
【3】What does the underlined word “devastated” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Destroyed. B. Increased.
C. Supported. D. Included.
【4】What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To complain. B. To advertise.
C. To encourage. D. To explain.
23、 Since moving to New Zealand from Australia to raise our new family, my husband Mike and I have been living on a small income, as he is the only one who is working full time. Neither of us have debt, nor do we use credit cards to buy things. In doing so, we are doing fairly well. We have savings(存款), but this could change very quickly if we’re not careful.
So how do we manage?
We sat down and really looked at what we could afford to spend each month on rent, food, baby things, and anything extra. We were pretty astonished at how little we would have left at the end of each month.
Mike suggested we eat only vegetable meals at home, so for the past four months we’ve been on a vegetable diet. I was really impressed when he suggested this, as it also betters our health and helps the environment.
We’re active gardeners and we recently start to grow our own vegetables. The growing season is long here, so we’re pretty excited when imagining eating good home-grown vegetables all the year round.
We hardly ever eat out now and on most weekends we can be found picking up fresh vegetables from the local farmers’ market. Except getting some fried fish, we’re really turning into home cooking—and this is a huge difference from our time in Perth.
Thankfully, our life on a small income has been an eye opener in such a positive way. We’re really pleased we’ve managed to get through our first year without turning to our savings. We are really looking forward to what the future holds for us here in New Zealand.
【1】What can we learn about the author’s family according to the first paragraph?
A．They move from New Zealand to Australia.
B．They are enjoying a rich life happily.
C．They have to be very careful with money.
D．They pay their debt with credit cards.
【2】Why were the author and her husband astonished at the end of each month?
A．Because they could afford to spend on rent each month.
B．Because they didn’t have much money left then.
C．Because they sat down and really looked at each other.
D．Because Mike was the only one who was working full time.
【3】According to the author, what’s the advantage of eating vegetable meals at home?
A．It can make people healthier.
B．It might pollute the environment.
C．It can make others really impressed.
D．It can help people go on a diet.
【4】Which can be the best title for the passage?
A．Living On A Small Income.
B．Eating Vegetables.
C．Eating At Home.
D．Active Gardeners.
24、For many people, selfies (自拍照) have been so popular as to be a must. New hairstyle? Take a selfie. Dining out? Selfie. They’ve even been taken from beyond Earth’s atmosphere. A Japanese astronaut, Aki Hoshide, took one while visiting the International Space Station. In what may be one of the coolest selfies of all time, Hoshide caught his likeness alongside the sun, Earth, a robotic arm, a spacesuit and the inky darkness of the universe. In 2013, Oxford Dictionaries even crowned “selfie” as the word of the year.
It isn’t difficult to judge someone’s mood when a selfie is taken—the images are, by their very nature, mood-driven. Whether you capture yourself with a smile or a fierce facial expression, scientists are figuring out ways to study self-portraits taken by smart phones and analyze what they say about you. Selfie studies will allow them to predict not only the subject’s mood, but also the mood of an entire region. A team of researchers led by Dr. Lev Manovich of the City University of New York has been studying thousands of Instagram self-portraits in select cities, including Bangkok, Berlin, Moscow, New York and Sao Paulo, to analyze how mood affects selfie poses.
While many wondered if it was even possible to determine an entire city’s mood based on a smattering (略知) of self-portraits, the study has delivered promising results. Among the most interesting findings: People in Moscow smile the least of all the selfie cities that were analyzed, while Bangkok and Sao Paulo selfie subjects looked the happiest. The researchers were even able to uncover data on gender and age differences: On the whole, women were more expressive than men in their self-portraits, but men older than 30 were more likely to post selfies on Instagram than women.
Another study, started by Manovich and researchers from the University of California, San Diego and the City University of New York, studied 1 million selfies posted on Twitter. Is it possible to judge a person’s mood, or even a city’s mood from a selfie? The answer, researchers say, is yes. They posit (断定) the ability to measure “happiness” of geographic regions using selfies and hope to use the method as an alternative to traditional surveys.
【1】Why is the Japanese astronaut Aki Hoshide mentioned ?
A．To point out that taking selfies is a challenge.
B．To indicate that taking selfies is a high technology.
C．To show that taking selfies has become very popular.

【2】What does the underlined word “crowned” in paragraph 1 mean?
A．Capped.

D．Completed.
【3】What is the purpose of Dr. Lev Manovich’s study?
A．To count the number of selfie lovers.
B．To understand why people love selfies.

【4】What can we learn from the text?
A．Selfies can be used to judge a city’s mood.
B．People in Moscow might lead a miserable life.
C．Living in Bangkok is the happiest in the world.
D．Men are likely to enjoy selfies more than women.
