阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(ABCD中,选出最佳选项。

A city without cars would be very strange, right? But Venice is such a city.

Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasnt built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city.

Even so, travel isnt difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go. People in Venice move from place to place by boat.

Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem. Sometimes tourists will have such strange experiences. One moment they walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there’s nothing special. But when they come back to the bridge an hour later, it’s underwater and everyone is wearing rain shoes.

Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made the ice of the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋) melt (融化). Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater.

Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower. The Italian government has asked some of Italy’s biggest companies to build the MOST project, which was planned to be build under the seawater to stop the rising water. Anyway, this project is helping solve the problem.

【1】Which is the best way to travel in Venice?

A. The waterways. B. Taxis and cars.

C. 400 bridges. D. Boats and rain shoes.

2What doesn’t cause Venice to get lower and lower?

A. The ice of the Arctic Ocean melt.

B. Seawater is everywhere around the city.

C. People used too much underground water

D. The temperature has become higher over the years.

3What can we infer from the last passage?

A. Venice is sure to stop getting lower.

B. High waters won’t hit Venice any more.

C. Scientists can solve the problems easily.

D. Some possible ways help to solve the problem.

4What’s the best title of this passage?

A. The History of Venice

B. The MOST Project of Venice.

C. The Places of Interest of Venice

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

Actually, long-distance bicycle camping is one of the most pleasurable activities I have ever experienced.

I generally sleep poorly at night, but in the woods on a tour, I sleep like a baby, falling asleep with the music of insects. In the morning, I am awakened by the cheeps of birds. I eat a snack before getting up, and then I quickly pack my sleeping bag, air mattress (垫), tent, and other things and get on with my road. I'm slower in the morning, having less speed but a greater desire to stop at pleasant spots and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Traveling by bike allows me to stop anywhere, such as grasslands, lakes, woods, and scenic spots. Near lunch, I find a small grocery and buy some bread, sandwiches and fruit. Then I will find a town park or other shady spots to wait out the high mid-day sun. In the afternoon, my speeds are higher, and I spend less time on stops. In the late afternoon, I start riding more slowly, and I start thinking about where I will stop. I finally find a place in the early evening, cook a simple meal and have a rest. As it starts to get dark, I put up my tent, crawl in and fall asleep.

There are exciting times and difficult times as well. Visiting strange or famous places and accomplishing goals are always exciting to me. I meet and talk with interesting people along the way, sometimes other traveling cyclists. Appreciating beautiful views, meeting wild animals, and traveling up and down hills also. On the other hand, I may run into a rainy or hot spell(一段时间), have to repair my bike, or just find myself in a bad mood. The problems are infrequent and are easy to deal with. The pleasures remain in my mind for years.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

When sevenyearold Sky Nockels learned that black rhinoceroses (犀牛) were an endangered species, he decided to do something to help them. He raised money to adopt (收养) a black rhino named Imara at the Great Plains Zoo in South Dakota. By adopting Imara, Sky helps the zoo take care of the rhino’s needs, such as food and a good habitat.

Sky has been a summer camp member at the Great Plains Zoo since he was three. There he and other kids learnt about the animals and did projects for them. “We made juice drinks for the bears,” says Sky. “They enjoyed them.”

Now that Sky is older, he is playing an even more active role in the care of the animals. Since black rhinos are one of Sky’s favorite animals, he decided to adopt Imara first. “I adopted a Grevy’s zebra named Demani, too, for my little brother Alexander,” he says.

Sky raised money to help care for the animals he wanted to adopt. He promised to raise $75 for his rhino and $25 for Alexander’s zebra. To earn the money, Sky and his grandfather planted a vegetable garden. Sky planted seeds (种子), watered, and cleared the grass. When the time came, he harvested the vegetables and sold them in front of his parents’ store.

When Sky’s friends heard about this, they brought vegetables from their parents’ gardens to sell, too. With the help of his friends, he earned enough money to keep his promises.

Sky is one of the youngest people to adopt an animal at the Great Plains Zoo. He cares about the animals and plans to plant and sell vegetables again this summer to help them. “I hope other children do something to help animals, too,” he says.

【题目】阅读下面的文言文,完成下列各题。

张衡字平子,南阳西鄂人也。衡少善属文,游于三辅,因入京师,观太学,遂通五经,贯六艺。虽才高于世,而无骄尚之情。常从容淡静,不好交接俗人。永元中,举孝廉不行,连辟公府不就。时天下承平日久,自王侯以下莫不逾侈。衡乃拟班固《两都》作《二京赋》,因以讽谏。精思傅会,十年乃成。大将军邓骘奇其才,累召不应。

衡善机巧,尤致思于天文阴阳历算。安帝雅闻衡善术学,公车特征拜郎中,再迁为太史令。遂乃研核阴阳,妙尽璇机之正,作浑天仪,著《灵宪》《算罔论》,言甚详明。

顺帝初,再转复为太史令。衡不慕当世,所居之官辄积年不徙。自去史职,五载复还。

阳嘉元年,复造候风地动仪。以精铜铸成,员径八尺,合盖隆起,形似酒尊,饰以篆文山龟鸟兽之形。中有都柱,傍行八道,施关发机。外有八龙,首衔铜丸,下有蟾蜍,张口承之。其牙机巧制,皆隐在尊中,覆盖周密无际。如有地动,尊则振龙,机发吐丸,而蟾蜍衔之。振声激扬,伺者因此觉知。虽一龙发机,而七首不动,寻其方面,乃知震之所在。验之以事,合契若神。自书典所记,未之有也。尝一龙机发而地不觉动,京师学者咸怪其无征。后数日驿至,果地震陇西,于是皆服其妙。自此以后,乃令史官记地动所从方起。

……

永和初,出为河间相。时国王骄奢,不遵典宪;又多豪右,共为不轨。衡下车,治威严,整法度,知奸党名姓,一时收禽,上下肃然,称为政理。视事三年,上书乞骸骨,征拜尚书。年六十二,永和四年卒。

1下列语句中加点字的解释不正确的一项是( )

A.时天下平日久 承:连续

B.所居之官积年不徙 辄:总是

C.傍行八道,施关 发:打开

D.知奸党名姓,一时收禽 阴:暗地里

2下列各组句子中,加点词语的意义和用法相同的一组是( )

A

B

C

D

3下列对文意的理解, 不正确的一项是( )

A.传记先叙其才,“少善属文”说明他具有先天的禀赋,而“游于三辅,因入京师,观太学”说明他注重社会实践。“通五经,贯六艺”是其才能的集中体现。

B.在叙其才后紧接着叙其德。“从容淡静,不好交接俗人”,具有谦虚稳重、超尘脱俗的品格,“不行”“不就”“不应”表现他不慕荣利的德行。

C.介绍地动仪虽不足二百字,但详尽记述制造时间、质地、大小、形状、内外结构、装饰、功用等,这段文字生动形象,文采斐然。

D.“阴知奸党名姓”表现其政治智慧,“上下肃然,称为政理”表现其卓然的政绩,寥寥几笔却写出了一位真实可感的廉吏形象。

4把文中画横线的语句翻译成现代汉语。

(1)永元中,举孝廉不行,连辟公府不就。

(2)验之以事,合契若神。自书典所记,未之有也。
