A
Lying on the north-south axis (轴线) line of Beijing City, Bell and Drum Towers were built in
1272 and rebuilt twice after two fires. In one period in history they were thetime-telling center of
the capital city during the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties (1271-1911).
Bell Tower
The Bell Tower is 47. 9 meters high. This brick-and-stone-made building has two floors.
Located on the second floor, the bell is the largest and heaviest in China. It is 7. 02 meters high,
with a weight of63tons (吨). It was made of copper (铜), and you can hear its clear sound from far
away.
Drum Tower
Situated 91 meters south to the bell tower, it was placed on a 4-meter-high stone and brick
groundwork. It is 46. 7 meters high. It is a two-floor wooden building. There was one big drum and
24 smaller ones before, but only the big remains now.
On New Year’s Eve 1990, the bell was rung again and the drum was rung on New Year’s Eve
2001 after being silent for so long. Since then, the drum and the bell have sounded 108 times every
New Year’s Eve.

Four “Fun facts” that are complete lies, but you believe them
No.1 You can see the Great Wall of China from space
This seems right, doesn’t it? The Great Wall of China is huge, after all, and you can see large
things from far away. But even from a low orbit, it’s pretty much invisible (看不见的) to the naked
eye, and not exactly easy to pick out with an advanced camera lens. Strangely, this myth (谬论)
existed before we even went into space, so it had the opportunity to become a “fact” before it could
even be checked. There are many other man-made objects visible from space, but because the Great
Wall is made from rocks gathered in the surrounding area, it doesn’t stand out against the landscape
enough to be visible.How Stuff Works helpfully suggests that China could paint the wall in hot pink
to fix the matter.
No.2 Einstein failed at school
Einstein, the modern archetypal genius (天才), failing at school is a “fact” which serves as an
encouragement to under-performing schoolchildren and is repeated by motivational speakers
wanting to make some point about failure and success. It would be fairly comforting if true, but
reality doesn’t tend to care about how comfortable you are. There are versions of this myth focusing
on maths, but in either case, it’s just not true. The myth seems to result from the fact that the grading
system used in his school was changed the year after he left—from 1 being the highest mark to 6
being the highest. Einstein got 1s, but to anybody looking back at his grades, it would seem like that
meant he’d failed.
No.3 ______________________
Many people claim that if you wake someone when they’re sleepwalking, the shock of finding
themselves not in bed will lead them to suffer a heart attack or otherwise do some serious damage.
In actual fact, waking somebody who is sleepwalking does them no harm whatsoever. They might
be a little confused. In fact, they could hurt themselves by continuing to sleepwalk freely, for
试卷第2页,共9页
购买一手高中网课微信:yuxa5435 获取免费资料搜索公众号:wkzy211985obvious reasons. So, it’s better to guide a sleepwalker back to bed without waking, but if you do
wake him, it won’t do any harm.
No.4 Sharks don’t get cancer
This fact has gained acceptance despite having merely been invented as a reason for selling
people shark cartilage pills as a cancer cure. Firstly, even if it was true that sharks didn’t get cancer,
that wouldn’t mean that using a part of it was a cure ortreatment for cancer. There were some initial
positive results, but they were also gained with other animal cartilages and didn’t translate into a
reliable treatment. In short, eating shark cartilage pills does nothing for cancer patients. And to pile
more stupidity on top of it, sharks clearly do get cancer.
4.Why are we unable to see the Great Wall directly in space?
A.The colour of the rocks is not hot pink.
B.Advanced cameras are not employed.
C.It’s too small tostand out from far away.
D.The Great Wall is made from nearby rocks.
5.What does the underlined sentence in No.2 mean?
A.Failure is the mother of success.
B.Reality has something to do with imagination.
C.Success and failure should be both experienced.
D.Assumption (设想) is one thing, but reality is another.
6.Which of the following may be the subtitle of No.3?
A.Sleepwalkers might be at a loss B.Sleepwalkers might attack others
C.Waking sleepwalkers will harm them D.Waking sleepwalkers will shock them
7.Who are more likely to benefit from the lie “Sharks don’t get cancer”?
A.Drug sellers. B.Health advisors.
C.Cancer patients. D.Shark researchers.
C
Bullied (受欺凌的) kids face a high risk of mental health problems as teens and as young
adults. Indeed, kids troubled by bullying may be worse off than those who had suffered physical
abuse (虐待) or neglect, as the study found.
Until recently, most studies of child victims focused not on bullying but on maltreatment (虐
待), Dieter Wolke says. Maltreatment includes physical or emotional abuse, neglect or other
behaviors that can harm a child.
Wolke’s team wanted to better understand bullying’s long-term effects compared to those due
to maltreatment. They focused on 4,026 children in the United Kingdom and 1,420 more in the
试卷第3页,共9页
购买一手高中网课微信:yuxa5435 获取免费资料搜索公众号:wkzy211985United States. Information about bullying and maltreatment was collected for American children to
age 13. They collected the same information for British youth up to age 16. The researchers also
gathered data on each individuals’ mental health as a young adult.
Among the Americans, 36 percent of bullied kids had mental problems later. Those problems
included anxiety, which is a state of excessive worry. They also included depression. That is a feeling
of hopelessness that can last a long time. Among kids who had been maltreated by adults, 17 percent
later suffered mental health problems. That was less than half the rate seen in people had been
bullied as school kids.
In the U.K. group, the difference was less dramatic. Roughly 25 percent of the bullied kids
reported mental health problems later, compared with about 17 percent who had been maltreated.
But however you look at it, the findings are disturbing. And that’s why Wolke says schools, health
services and other agencies must work together to end bullying.
Studies like this are important, says Corinna Jenkins Tucker. They bring attention to the lasting
impacts of bullying. Tucker does, however, question the value of comparing bullying to other types
of abuse. Such an approach can make it seem like one type of bad experience is worse than the other,
she says. In fact, both types have short-term and long-term effects on health. She’d like to see
researchers study the big picture. They should try to understand how all of these negative
experiences together shape children—and sometimes harm them.
8. What can be interred from the passage?
A. Researchers should pay less attention to maltreatment.
B. More bullied kids have mental problems in the USA.
C. A similar number of children are maltreated in America and Britain.
D. Either bullying or maltreatment has negative effects on children’s health.
9. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A. To advertise. B. To inform. C. To compare. D. To entertain.
10. Where is the passage taken from?
A. A news section. B. A science section.
C. A culture section. D. An entertainment section.
11. What does Tucker think of Wolke’s study?
A. Disappointing. B. Improvable. C. Satisfactory. D. Unreasonable.
D
Las Vegas city in Nevada is built in a desert. The city may be known to the outside world for
its partying. But officials have found that there are 21 square kilometers of useless grass. The grass
is never laid on, played on or even stepped on. The grass is only there to look nice.
试卷第4页,共9页
购买一手高中网课微信:yuxa5435 获取免费资料搜索公众号:wkzy211985Now, the city is asking the Nevada state legislature (立法机构) to ban useless grass. It is trying
to become the first place in America to ban that kind of grass often seen between streets, in housing
developments and in office parks.
It is estimated that useless grass makes up 40% of all the grass in Las Vegas and it needs a lot
of water to survive. Grass needs four times more water than dry climate plants like cactus. By tearing
out the grass, the city could reduce yearly water usage by 15%.
In 2003, the Southern Nevada Water Authority banned developers from planting grass in front
of new homes. It also offered homeowners $30 for each square meter of grass they tear out. But
fewer people are now using the program. Water usage has increased in southern Nevada by 9% since
2019.And last year, Las Vegas set a record of 240 days without major rainfall. The Colorado River
provides much of Nevada’s drinking water. The river could lose more water as climate change
affects it.
Water officials in other dry cities said water usage needs to be reduced. But they fear the
reaction to reforms like the ones in Las Vegas if their communities do not accept them. Cynthia
Campbell is the water resources adviser for the city of Phoenix in Arizona. “There might come a
point when city restrictions get too severe (苛刻的) for some residents (居民).They’ll say that is the
point of no return for them,” Campbell said. “For some people, it’s a pool. For some people, it’s
grass.”
12. Why does Las Vegas city try to ban useless grass?
A. To protect the local people. B. To beautify the city.
C. To reduce water usage. D. To reduce waste.
13. What program was carried out in Las Vegas in 2003?
A. Allowing planting grass before new houses. B. Encouraging the residents to tear out grass.
C. Praising those who signed on the program. D. Awarding those who reduced water usage.
14. What is implied in Campbell’s words in the last paragraph?
A. Many residents won’t follow the ban.
B. Reaction to the reform will vary personally.
C. Other measures should be taken to protect wetter.
D. Water officials should take many factors into consideration.
15. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A. Las Vegas Plans to Ban Useless Grass
B. A Method Is Adopted to Save Las Vegas
C. Choices between Beauty and Practice
D. Grass Is Important but Useless in Las Vegas
