A
Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower isn’t just a symbol of Paris, but a symbol for all of France. Established by Gustave Eiffel to
memorize the French Revolution in 1889, the 1,050-foot (320-metre) tower once held the title of the world’s tallest
structure.
The basics
The Eiffel Tower’s first floor features exhibits, kid-friendly experiences, and the 58 Tour Eiffel restaurant; the
second floor includes the Jules Verne Restaurant; and the third-floor summit, accessible via a glass elevator, features
Gustave Eiffel’s private apartments and a Champagne bar. Of course, all levels offer striking 360-degree views of the
City of Light.
Given the structure’s global popularity, the crowds can be quite large, meaning that priority-access tours are
highly recommended—in peak season, long lines mean that waits can often be over 3 hours. Save precious sightseeing
time by booking a skip-the-line Eiffel Tower ticket with or without a tour guide; this experience can be combined
with a Paris city tour. If you’d rather view the iconic (标志性的) structure in all its glory than head to the top, book
a Seine River cruise (巡航), or a walking, biking, or Segway tour.
Things to know before you go
Plan your visit in advance and book skip-the-line tickets to avoid a long wait time.If you purchase an admission ticket for Eiffel Tower summit access, you’ll head straight to the top before
stopping at the lower levels on your downward journey.
There are ATMs and souvenir shops on the ground floor.
The tower’s first two levels are wheelchair accessible, but the summit is not.
You’ll be required to undergo a security screening before entering the tower.
How to get there
Take metro line 6 to Bir Hakeim or RER line C to the Champ de Mars station. For better views, take metro line 6
or 9 to the Trocadero stop across from the River Seine.
1. On which floor are there the most children probably?
A. The first floor. B. The second floor. C. The third floor. D. The top floor.
2. What do you know about going to Eiffel Tower?
A. You can’t take a wheelchair inside.
.
B You must buy a skip-the-line ticket to visit it.
C. You can take metro line 9 to Bir Hakeim station.
D. You can reach the top with an admission ticket for summit access.
3. Where is this text probably taken from?

Xu Yuanchong was a famous Chinese translator, best known for translating Chinese ancient poems into
English and French. Xu was born in 1921 in Nanchang, Jiangxi. His mother, who was well educated had great
impact on Xu in the pursuit of beauty and literature. When studying at the Provincial Nanchang No. 2 High School,
he excelled in English. In 1938 he was admitted to the Department of Foreign Languages, National Southwest
Associated University, a school history and graduates have played a central role in modern China. 1939 was
unusual for him. As an undergraduate, he met his mentor Qian Zhongshu, a renowned Chinese scholar and writer.
That year also witnessed his one-sided love to the girl sitting next to him in class.
Also in this year Xu translated a poem for the first time — “Don’t Cast Away”, written by Chines architect Lin
Huiyin. At university, Xu gave outstanding performances in English, Russian, French, while even hosting
Shakespeare classes, clearly showing a gift for translation. In 1941, at a reception welcoming General Claire Lee
Chennault, commander of the US Army Air Force “Flying Tigers”, Xu, who was a senior student at the time,
borrowed Lincoln’s well-known phrase “of the people, by the people, for the people” in order to refer to Sun Yat-
sen’s “Three Principles of the people (三民主义)”, solving the communication difficulty between the Chinese and
American representatives. It soon became a story on everyone’s lips. Because of this, Xu was regarded as one ofthe “Five Geniuses” of the National Southwest Associated University. In 1949, Xu Yuanchong was studying in
France. After his graduation, Xu returned to China and devoted himself to education and translation. In 1979, Xu
first proposed the “Three Beauties Theory” in a letter to scholar Zhu Guangqian. According to his theory, a good
translator should convey the beauty in image, the beauty in sound and the beauty in form, to his readers in his
translated works. Xu managed to be such a translator himself.
4. What made Xu a good translator?
A. Ability to find beauty. B. Love from family and friends.
C. Studying more than one foreign language. D. Uniting education and translation.
5. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Lincoln’s well-known phrase. B. Xu’s outstanding work.
C. Three Principles of the People. D. The communication difficulty.
6. Which of the following best describe Xu’s career?

C
Capentes is a waste picker. She collects bags of separated garbage, placing food waste in one container. This
material will be turned into compost (堆肥) at the local recycling facility. The rest of the waste goes into separate
containers. The recyclable materials are later sold.
The Mother Earth Foundation in the Philippines is a member of the Global Alliance for Incinerator
Alternatives, called GAIA. The organization wants to prevent food waste from going to landfills (垃圾填埋场).
Food waste gives off methane (甲烷) gas as it breaks down. Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas. Methane traps
more heat than carbon dioxide. But it does not stay in the atmosphere nearly as long—around 12 years compared
with hundreds of years.
GAIA says preventing organic waste from going to landfills or being burned is a proven and cost-effective
climate solution. The environmental organization supports its members, including waste pickers, around the world.
GAIA is working with governments to set up systems to separate and collect organic waste and establish facilities
to compost it.
At a materials recycling facility in Malabon, organic waste collected from households is turned into compost.
This material then goes into a community garden to grow vegetables. Some of the food waste is broken down into
biogas. This biogas is then used to cook vegetables for waste workers to eat. It is a complete cycle, said Froilan
Grate, chief of GAIA Asia Pacific, based in Manila.Grate said there are challenges in establishing these systems in new places. It costs money to set up a facility
for composting. People, including local officials, have to be educated on the importance of separating waste.
Containers have to be provided to households that cannot buy more than one. And sometimes separating organic
waste is not thought to be important. Also, unlike recyclables and metals, there is not a large market for organic
materials. Therefore, waste workers must be paid for the system to work.
But Grate believes these problems can be solved. More people are making the connection between reducing
methane and fighting climate change. The world needs better systems for dealing with waste because the current
methods are adding to warming. The treatment of organic matter is an important way to reduce methane gas.
8. What is GAIA currently committed to?
A. Getting rid of food waste by burying it. B. Reducing the impact of organic waste on the climate.
C. Economizing on food. D. Reducing the harm of carbon dioxide.
9. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A. The method to collect waste. B. The process to treat organic waste.
C. How to use a recycling facility. D. The wide use of organic waste.
10. Which statement supports the challenge Grate mentioned?
A. Collecting organic waste does not require significant investment.
B. Every household needs to constantly replace the latest trash cans.
C. Organic waste holds a large share in the garbage market.
D. Families need to develop the habit of garbage sorting.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Methane: an Important Greenhouse Gas B. The New Systems to Reduce Greenhouse Gas
C. The New Uses of Organic Waste D. Waste Pickers Help Fight Climate Change
D
Shortly after its opening on the first day of Chinese New Year, The Wandering Earth began to gain momentum
(展现强劲势头). In a little over a week, it made 2.8 billion yuan in the domestic market alone. The film’s popularity
and success has come as a surprise to many reviewers especially since there hasn’t been that much success for
Chinese-produced science fiction in the past. Many agree that this film will change the embarrassing situation and
bring in a new age for Chinese science fiction.
As a genre (类型), Chinese science fiction has lagged behind general fiction in both the film and publishing
industries. Even Liu Cixin’s (the author who wrote the short story on which The Wandering Earth is based) The
Three Body Problem —which is currently quite popular — didn’t have many readers until it was translated into
English and won the Hugo Award (雨果奖) in 2015. Personally, I haven’t read much of any genre written in Chinese,but I do notice that there aren’t many separate sections of the bookstore dedicated to science fiction. I cannot speak
for everyone, but some people seem to have misunderstandings regarding the genre.
My parents were the type who tried to steer me in the direction of non-fiction and the classics. They believed
that science fiction and fantasy were “unrealistic nonsense” and would “rot my brain.” Actually, great science fiction
writers do their research. More often than not, one can learn a great deal about science and its possible development
from reading science fiction. Sure, some of the concepts may be confusing or technical in nature, but that is also part
of the appeal. Things like the internet, electric cars and tablet computers were first theorized (建立理论) in science
fiction before they were invented. The author simply uses a combination of science and their imagination to create
worlds different from the Earth of today, from which we can get bits and pieces that can be turned into a reality.
The world is changing. There may very well be a time when Earth is no longer able to sustain the entire
population. We could be living on Mars or in giant spaceships; perhaps we will be forced to move Earth to a new
solar system just like The Wandering Earth. Each of these scenarios has appeared in science fiction multiple times. If
we are to be prepared for what is to come, we can look into modern science fiction for a window into the future.
,
12. According to the article which of the following statements about The Wandering Earth is NOT true?
A. Critics did not expect too much of the film before its release.
B. It is the first time that Chinese science fiction has succeed in the film industry.
C. The film was adapted from a short story in Liu Cixin’s The Three Body Problem.
D. In the future we might be faced with similar crises to the one described in the movie.
13. We can learn from the article that the author ________.
A. has little interest in science fiction
B. has never read Chinese science fiction
C. was not allowed to read science fiction by his parents
D. has not been prepared for the future development of science and technology.
14. Paragraph 3 mainly focuses on ________.
A. the practical significance of science fiction
B. real technologies inspired by science fiction
C. people’s misunderstandings about science fiction
D. imaginary worlds created by science fiction writers
15. What does the underlined word “scenarios” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. strategies B. proposals C. ideas D. pictures

It was a great pity when one day I heard that the Sunshine Bookstore was closing after fifty years of business.
I was also heartbroken. The bookstore was a place where anyone in the neighborhood could drop by (顺便拜访)
and be connected through their love of books.
When I hurried to the store, I saw the books were being packed into boxes. Sighing deeply, the store’s elderly
owner, Thomas, told me how it was becoming difficult to run an independent bookstore. Most young people
preferred to read e-books on tablets. Customers were being attracted by chain stores and online discounts. I tried to
think of some words of sympathy, but I had to admit that the Sunshine Bookstore couldn’t stay in business much
longer.
Childhood memories came flooding back. A bunch of us kids would frequently drop into the store after school,
looking at the new books, or just chatting with old Thomas. He knew every book in the store and would always
pick the perfect one for us. We spent hours reading, seated on the store’s old, but comfortable furniture. Thomas
encouraged us to share our ideas and comments on the books by writing them on a large board in one corner of the
store.
When I left the bookstore, it was becoming cold and dark outside. I turned to wave goodbye to Thomas, but
both he and his bookstore were already hidden in a thick mist. It made me realize that the bookstore and all that old
Thomas had given to the community could soon disappear for good.
A few months later, I was back in the neighborhood from my vacation and was surprised to see that the
Sunshine Bookstore was still there and open for business. Its old brick outside hadn’t changed, but inside it was like
a different world. Clearly, the Sunshine Bookstore was in good and creative hands.
I was told that the community had decided to work together on a campaign to save the Sunshine Bookstore.
The campaign had been led by Martin, a salesman who had grown up in the neighborhood and who was helping
Thomas run the bookstore.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I entered the bookstore and saw how it had changed.

Capentes is a waste picker. She collects bags of separated garbage, placing food waste in one container. This
material will be turned into compost (堆肥) at the local recycling facility. The rest of the waste goes into separate
containers. The recyclable materials are later sold.
The Mother Earth Foundation in the Philippines is a member of the Global Alliance for Incinerator
Alternatives, called GAIA. The organization wants to prevent food waste from going to landfills (垃圾填埋场).
Food waste gives off methane (甲烷) gas as it breaks down. Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas. Methane trapsmore heat than carbon dioxide. But it does not stay in the atmosphere nearly as long—around 12 years compared
with hundreds of years.
GAIA says preventing organic waste from going to landfills or being burned is a proven and cost-effective
climate solution. The environmental organization supports its members, including waste pickers, around the world.
GAIA is working with governments to set up systems to separate and collect organic waste and establish facilities
to compost it.
At a materials recycling facility in Malabon, organic waste collected from households is turned into compost.
This material then goes into a community garden to grow vegetables. Some of the food waste is broken down into
biogas. This biogas is then used to cook vegetables for waste workers to eat. It is a complete cycle, said Froilan
Grate, chief of GAIA Asia Pacific, based in Manila.
Grate said there are challenges in establishing these systems in new places. It costs money to set up a facility
for composting. People, including local officials, have to be educated on the importance of separating waste.
Containers have to be provided to households that cannot buy more than one. And sometimes separating organic
waste is not thought to be important. Also, unlike recyclables and metals, there is not a large market for organic
materials. Therefore, waste workers must be paid for the system to work.
But Grate believes these problems can be solved. More people are making the connection between reducing
methane and fighting climate change. The world needs better systems for dealing with waste because the current
methods are adding to warming. The treatment of organic matter is an important way to reduce methane gas.
8. What is GAIA currently committed to?
A. Getting rid of food waste by burying it. B. Reducing the impact of organic waste on the climate.
C. Economizing on food. D. Reducing the harm of carbon dioxide.
9. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A. The method to collect waste. B. The process to treat organic waste.
C. How to use a recycling facility. D. The wide use of organic waste.
10. Which statement supports the challenge Grate mentioned?
A. Collecting organic waste does not require significant investment.
B. Every household needs to constantly replace the latest trash cans.
C. Organic waste holds a large share in the garbage market.
D. Families need to develop the habit of garbage sorting.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Methane: an Important Greenhouse Gas B. The New Systems to Reduce Greenhouse Gas
C. The New Uses of Organic Waste D. Waste Pickers Help Fight Climate Change【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了菲律宾的地球母亲基金会采取新的方式分解有机垃圾,防止
甲烷对环境的影响。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The organization wants to prevent food waste from going to landfills (垃圾填埋
场).(该组织希望防止食物垃圾进入垃圾填埋场)”以及“Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas. Methane traps
more heat than carbon dioxide.(甲烷是一种强大的温室气体。甲烷比二氧化碳吸收更多的热量)”可知,
GAIA目前致力于减少有机废物对气候的影响。故选B。

is turned into compost. This material then goes into a community garden to grow vegetables. Some of the food
waste is broken down into biogas. This biogas is then used to cook vegetables for waste workers to eat. It is a
complete cycle, said Froilan Grate, chief of GAIA Asia Pacific, based in Manila.(在马拉邦的一个材料回收设施,
从家庭收集的有机废物被转化为堆肥。然后将这些材料放入社区花园种植蔬菜。一些食物垃圾被分解成沼
气。然后,这些沼气被用来烹饪蔬菜,供垃圾处理工人食用。这是一个完整的周期,总部位于马尼拉的
GAIA亚太区负责人弗罗伊兰•格瑞特说)”可知,第四段主要介绍了处理有机垃圾的流程。故选B。
【
10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“And sometimes separating organic waste is not thought to be important.(有时
人们认为分离有机废物并不重要)”可知,家庭需要养成垃圾分类的习惯属于提到的挑战。故选D。
【11题详解】

袋装分类垃圾,把食物垃圾放在一个容器里。这些材料将在当地的回收设施中变成堆肥。其余的废物被放
入不同的容器中。这些可回收材料随后被出售)”并结合文章主要说明了菲律宾的地球母亲基金会采取新的
方式分解有机垃圾,防止甲烷对环境的影响。可知,D选项“拾荒者帮助应对气候变化”符合文章标题。
故选D。

Shortly after its opening on the first day of Chinese New Year, The Wandering Earth began to gain momentum
(展现强劲势头). In a little over a week, it made 2.8 billion yuan in the domestic market alone. The film’s popularityand success has come as a surprise to many reviewers especially since there hasn’t been that much success for
Chinese-produced science fiction in the past. Many agree that this film will change the embarrassing situation and
bring in a new age for Chinese science fiction.
As a genre (类型), Chinese science fiction has lagged behind general fiction in both the film and publishing
industries. Even Liu Cixin’s (the author who wrote the short story on which The Wandering Earth is based) The
Three Body Problem —which is currently quite popular — didn’t have many readers until it was translated into
English and won the Hugo Award (雨果奖) in 2015. Personally, I haven’t read much of any genre written in Chinese,
but I do notice that there aren’t many separate sections of the bookstore dedicated to science fiction. I cannot speak
for everyone, but some people seem to have misunderstandings regarding the genre.
My parents were the type who tried to steer me in the direction of non-fiction and the classics. They believed
that science fiction and fantasy were “unrealistic nonsense” and would “rot my brain.” Actually, great science fiction
writers do their research. More often than not, one can learn a great deal about science and its possible development
from reading science fiction. Sure, some of the concepts may be confusing or technical in nature, but that is also part
of the appeal. Things like the internet, electric cars and tablet computers were first theorized (建立理论) in science
fiction before they were invented. The author simply uses a combination of science and their imagination to create
worlds different from the Earth of today, from which we can get bits and pieces that can be turned into a reality.
The world is changing. There may very well be a time when Earth is no longer able to sustain the entire
population. We could be living on Mars or in giant spaceships; perhaps we will be forced to move Earth to a new
solar system just like The Wandering Earth. Each of these scenarios has appeared in science fiction multiple times. If
we are to be prepared for what is to come, we can look into modern science fiction for a window into the future.
12. According to the article, which of the following statements about The Wandering Earth is NOT true?
A. Critics did not expect too much of the film before its release.
B. It is the first time that Chinese science fiction has succeed in the film industry.
C. The film was adapted from a short story in Liu Cixin’s The Three Body Problem.
D. In the future we might be faced with similar crises to the one described in the movie.
13. We can learn from the article that the author ________.
A. has little interest in science fiction
B. has never read Chinese science fiction
C. was not allowed to read science fiction by his parents
D. has not been prepared for the future development of science and technology.
14. Paragraph 3 mainly focuses on ________.
A. the practical significance of science fictionB. real technologies inspired by science fiction
C. people’s misunderstandings about science fiction
D. imaginary worlds created by science fiction writers
15. What does the underlined word “scenarios” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. strategies B. proposals C. ideas D. pictures
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,作者以《流浪地球》的大获成功为例并结合自己读科幻小说的切身经历告诉
我们科幻小说也有一定的现实意义——我们可以从中寻找一扇通向未来的窗口。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Even Liu Cixin’s (the author who wrote the short story on which The Wandering
Earth is based) The Three Body Problem — which is currently quite popular — didn’t have many readers until it was
translated into English and won the Hugo Award in 2015. (即使是刘慈欣(《流浪地球》的原著作者)的《三体》
——现在很受欢迎——在被翻译成英文并于2015年获得雨果奖之前也没有多少读者。)”可知,科幻小说
《流浪的地球》和《三体》都是刘慈欣写的,并不是说《流浪的地球》这部电影改编自刘慈欣的短篇小说
《三体》,故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“My parents were the type who tried to steer me in the direction of non-fiction and
the classics. They believed that science fiction and fantasy were “unrealistic nonsense” and would “rot my brain.” (我的
父母是那种试图引导我读非小说类和古典文学的人。他们认为科幻小说和幻想是“不切实际的废话”,会
“腐蚀我的大脑”。)”可知,作者的父母认为科幻小说和幻想是不切实际的胡言乱语,会腐蚀作者的大脑,
由此可知,作者的父母不允许他读科幻小说,故选C项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段内容,特别是“Actually, great science fiction writers do their research. More often than
not, one can learn a great deal about science and its possible development from reading science fiction. (事实上,
伟大 的科幻作家都会做研究。通常情况下,人们可以从阅读科幻小说中学到很多关于科学及其可能发展的
知识。)”也就是说科幻小说对人们的现实生活是有影响的,由此可知,本段主要介绍的是科幻小说的现实
意义,故选A项。
【15题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“The world is changing. There may very well be a time when Earth is no longer able to
sustain the entire population. We could be living on Mars or in giant spaceships; perhaps we will be forced to move
Earth to a new solar system just like The Wandering Earth. (世界在变化。很可能有一天,地球不再能够维持所有的人口。我们可以住在火星上,也可以住在巨大的宇宙飞船里;也许我们将被迫把地球搬到一个新的太阳
系,就像《流浪地球》一样。)”所以these scenarios指的上文的这些设想,所以scenarios意为“设想,想
法”,和ideas同义,故选C项。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a great pity when one day I heard that the Sunshine Bookstore was closing after fifty years of business.
I was also heartbroken. The bookstore was a place where anyone in the neighborhood could drop by (顺便拜访)
and be connected through their love of books.
When I hurried to the store, I saw the books were being packed into boxes. Sighing deeply, the store’s elderly
owner, Thomas, told me how it was becoming difficult to run an independent bookstore. Most young people
preferred to read e-books on tablets. Customers were being attracted by chain stores and online discounts. I tried to
think of some words of sympathy, but I had to admit that the Sunshine Bookstore couldn’t stay in business much
longer.
Childhood memories came flooding back. A bunch of us kids would frequently drop into the store after school,
looking at the new books, or just chatting with old Thomas. He knew every book in the store and would always
pick the perfect one for us. We spent hours reading, seated on the store’s old, but comfortable furniture. Thomas
encouraged us to share our ideas and comments on the books by writing them on a large board in one corner of the
store.
When I left the bookstore, it was becoming cold and dark outside. I turned to wave goodbye to Thomas, but
both he and his bookstore were already hidden in a thick mist. It made me realize that the bookstore and all that old
Thomas had given to the community could soon disappear for good.A few months later, I was back in the neighborhood from my vacation and was surprised to see that the
Sunshine Bookstore was still there and open for business. Its old brick outside hadn’t changed, but inside it was like
a different world. Clearly, the Sunshine Bookstore was in good and creative hands.
I was told that the community had decided to work together on a campaign to save the Sunshine Bookstore.
The campaign had been led by Martin, a salesman who had grown up in the neighborhood and who was helping
Thomas run the bookstore.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I entered the bookstore and saw how it had changed.

【答案】
I entered the bookstore and saw how it had changed. With Martin’s help, the bookstore was being turned into
a different place. In one area, some members of the reading club of our community were reading some books and
discussing their plots and themes. Nearby, some customers were gathering around the shelves filled with stationery,
pictures and other goods. The large board in the corner had been replaced by a big screen, where customers’
comments on the month’s best-seller were being displayed. The bookstore also became a place for literature-loving
members to get together to participate in various community events, where people could share their experiences
that couldn’t be downloaded.
“Where is Thomas, ” I said to myself. I suddenly saw Thomas, who was reading readers’ comments on the big
screen, and joined him. “Well, as you can see, business knowledge combined with creativity has changed my
humble bookstore into a modern one! I’m so pleased to see that everything I wanted it to offer to the community is
still here.” Thomas said with emotion, tears welling up in his eyes. Patting him on the shoulder, I felt truly lucky forboth Thomas and myself to still have the bookstore in the neighborhood to provide people with not only knowledge
but also precious memories.
