Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
A
If you were asked to list World Heritage Sites，you would probably think of places connected with ancient art and culture，historical buildings and monuments.And of course，many of these are on the World Heritage List(WHL)(世界遗产名录)．But the WHL also contains a lot of sites that are not so famous.Let's look at a few of them.
Robben Island in South Africa
This island was used as a prison，a hospital and a military base.But it's probably most famous as a maximum­security prison for political prisoners in the twentieth century.Nelson Mandela was one of its most famous residents.The WHL says it represents“the victory of democracy(民主) and freedom over oppression and racism(种族主义)”．
Borders of France and Spain
This is an area of great natural beauty and the mountains have many interesting geological formations.But it is also an area of small farms.People there still use a type of agriculture that used to be common in mountainous areas of Europe but has almost completely disappeared in modern times.
The capital city of Brazil，Brasilia
Brasilia is a capital city that was created from nothing in 1956.The WHL calls it“a landmark in the history of town planning”．The different areas of the city and the buildings themselves were all designed at the same time carefully.Every part of the city shows the ideas of the planner and architect.
Simien Mountains National Park，Ethiopia
Simien Mountains National Park was one of the first sites to be listed in 1978.It is one of the highest mountain areas in Africa，and the WHL calls it“one of the most spectacular landscapes in the world”．It is also important for its wildlife.The population of some rare animals is getting smaller and smaller.

As a result of pollution，Lake Erie，on the borders of the USA and Canada，is now without any living things.
Pollution in water is not simply a matter of “poisons”killing large numbers of fish overnight.Very often the effects of pollution are not noticed for many months or years because the first organisms(生物体) to be affected are either plants or plankton.But these organisms are the food of fish and birds and other creatures.When this food disappears，the fish and birds die too.In this way a whole food chain can be wiped out，and it's not until dead fish and water birds are seen at the river's edge or on the seashore that people realize what is happening.
Where do the substances which pollute the water come from？There are two main sources of sewage(污水) and industrial waste.As more detergent(洗涤剂) is used in the home，so more of it is finally put into our rivers，lakes and seas.Detergents harm water birds，dissolving the natural substances which keep their feathers water­proof.Sewage itself，if not properly treated，makes the water dirty and prevents all forms of life in rivers and the sea from receiving the oxygen they need.Industrial waste is even more harmful as there are many highly poisonous things in it，such as copper and lead(铅)．
So，if we want to stop this pollution，the answer is simple：sewage and industrial waste must be made clear before flowing into the water.It may already be too late to save some rivers and lakes，but others can still be saved if the correct action is taken at once.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了水污染问题的严重性和水污染问题产生的原因，以及如何有效防止水污染问题。

A．when the first organisms are affected
B．when a good many fish and birds die

D．as soon as the balance of nature is destroyed
B　[细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“In this way a whole food chain can be wiped out，and it's not until dead fish and water birds are seen at the river's edge or on the seashore that people realize what is happening”可知只有当死鱼和死鸟被发现的时候，人们才意识到水污染问题，故B项正确。]
9．The living things die because there is no in the lakes or rivers.
A．water　　　　 B．waste
C．poison D．oxygen
D　[细节理解题。根据第三段第五句“Sewage itself, if not properly treated，makes the water dirty and prevents all forms of life in rivers and the sea from receiving the oxygen they need.”可知如果污水没有被恰当处理，它会让水变脏，阻止水生物吸收氧气，最终导致水生物死亡，故D项正确。]
10．Which of the following is harmful according to the passage?
A．Organisms.
B．Plants and plankton in the water.
C．Waste water from cities.
D．Industrial waste made clear before flowing into the water.
C　[推理判断题。根据第三段中的“There are two main sources of sewage and industrial waste. As more detergent(洗涤剂) is used in the home，so more of it is finally put into our rivers，lakes and seas.”可知水污染的来源物主要是污水和工业污染物，这两类物质在城市的污水里都存在，故C项正确。]
11．The way to stop water pollution is to ．
A．realize the serious situation clearly
B．put oxygen into the water
C．make the waste harmless before it flows into the water
D．make special room in the sea for our rubbish
C　[细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“So，if we want to stop this pollution，the answer is simple：sewage and industrial waste must be made clear before flowing into the water.”可知，在排放之前要净化污水和工业污染物，这样做可以有效地防止水污染，故C项正确。]

More and more consumers across the country are using cashless payment methods.The rapid development of third­party mobile payment tools is helping to encourage cashless payments across the country，said Dong Ximiao，a researcher at the Renmin University of China.
Although there were 3.4 billion third­party payment accounts in total in China in 2016.China is not the first country to seek a cashless society.Developed states like Sweden, Denmark and Singapore are also seeing that increase.
However，the rapid development of cashless payments does not mean there are no challenges and criticisms.Alibaba's Hema store has come into the spotlight recently.Media reports said that consumers can't buy goods with cash there，which would be considered illegal.
Alipay and WeChat Pay，the nation's two major third­party mobile payment tools，also launched campaigns this month to encourage more people to use cashless payment methods，which caused concern over whether cash will soon disappear.
“Some offline sellers refuse to accept cash，which influences the natural circulation(流通) of cash，”said Dong.He stressed that a cashless society would not mean that cash would completely disappear.Also it's important to remember that nearly half of China's population live in the countries，unable to enjoy innovation(革新) brought by the Internet，Dong said.And when it comes to China's senior citizens most of them prefer to use cash in their daily lives，he added.
“It's ridiculous(荒谬的) to question digital payment tools' contribution to financial development.In the long term，various payment methods will be used by consumers，and merchants should respect consumers' payment habits.”Dong noted.
【语篇解读】　本文为说明文。说明了中国无现金支付的现状和趋势。
12．What does the underlined word“that”in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?
A．Economic activity.
B．A large amount of payment.
C．Development of economy.
D．Cashless payment.
D　[词义理解题。由第二段内容可知，2016年中国共有3.4亿第三方支付账户，但中国不是第一个寻求无现金社会的国家。瑞典、丹麦和新加坡等发达国家也在增长。由此可推知that指代的是“无现金支付”，故选D项。]
13．Why has Alibaba's Hema store become a focus?
A．It fights against illegal activities.
B．Customers are not permitted to use cash there.
C．It provides comprehensive services.
D．It starts campaigns to encourage mobile payment.
B　[细节理解题。由第三段第三句话“Media reports said that consumers can't buy goods with cash there，which would be considered illegal.”可知阿里巴巴的盒马店成为关注的焦点，是因为消费者不能用现金购买产品，故选B项。]
14．What is Dong Ximiao's attitude towards the payment in future?
A．Cashless payment should be limited in the countryside.
B．The innovation from payment is ridiculous in fact.
C．Various payment methods should be encouraged.
D．Digital payment should replace cash completely.
C　[推理判断题。由最后一段“In the long term，various payment methods will be used by consumers，and merchants should respect consumers' payment habits.”可知选C项。]
15．What is the best title of the passage?
A．Innovation on the Internet
B．Cash or Cashless?
C．Payment online should replace cash
D．Is the circulation of cash dying?
B　[标题归纳题。结合全文可知，本文讲述的是中国的无现金支付与现金支付的情况。B项Cash or Cashless？符合主旨，概括了文章内容又能吸引读者，适合作为标题。]
Ⅱ.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
Understanding and appreciating abstract art can be tough if you don't have much experience with art.Don't worry.The following can help you gain an appreciation for abstract artwork enormously.
·Relax as you look at abstract art.
16 ，it's best to go to the gallery or view the art when you're in a relaxing state so that the art affects you in a positive way.Limit distractions around you，like your cell phone，and try to clear your mind of negative or stressful thoughts.
17 ．
Avoid saying things like“Anyone could make that” and dismiss prior opinions you have about the artwork before you actually see it.Try to approach the art with an open mind and don't compare it with other works，especially if it's not in the same style.
·Ask yourself how the painting makes you feel.
Instead of trying to evaluate the technical aspects of the art，ask yourself how the art makes you feel. 18 ，it has an emotional impact on you.Do be honest with yourself when determining your real feeling.
·Research the artist's life.
Some galleries have an informational plaque(匾牌) near the artwork that describes the artist.Read the informational plaque next to the artwork.This is a great way to better understand the artist and his mindset when he created the art.Most abstract art tries to capture a feeling or emotion like sadness，rage，or happiness.
19 .
·Speak and interact with abstract artists.
If you like，you can find abstract artists in collective studios or at their art shows. 20 ．Getting their perspective may give you a deeper understanding and appreciation of their work.
Well now，if you still don't get abstract art and can't appreciate it，try to create some artwork yourself.If you don't know where to start，you can look up tutorials online or take a local art class.
A．Look at the artwork as objectively as you can
B．If it makes you happy，sad，anxious，or excited
C．As long as you understand the techniques used to create the art
D．Since being distracted or stressed can actually affect how you enjoy art
E．Take the time to respectfully speak to them
F．For example，if the artist witnessed a war，a depressing feeling may be conveyed in his art
G．There are different styles and types of art for you to further research
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了如何欣赏抽象艺术品。
16．D　[根据段落小标题“Relax as you look at abstract art.”以及空后的“it's best to go to...in a positive way.”可推知，前后句表示逻辑上的因果关系，前因后果，且与下文中的“distractions”呼应，故选D项。]
17．A　[空处为段落小标题。根据对本段的整体理解可知，欣赏艺术品时避免武断或被固有的观念所束缚，要以开放的心态欣赏它，由此可推知，本段主要讲的是要尽可能客观地欣赏艺术品，故选A项。]
18．B　[根据空后的“it has an emotional impact on you”可推知，空处表示艺术品给你的感受，与空前的“ask yourself how the art makes you feel”呼应，故选B项。]
19．F　[根据空前一句“Most abstract art tries to capture a feeling or emotion like sadness，rage，or happiness.”可推知，空处应是举例进行进一步解释说明，故选F项。]

【语篇解读】　这是一篇议论文，介绍了人们对“人类写的诗歌与电脑写的诗歌是否具有相同的意义”这个问题的不同看法。
36．were thinking　[分析句子可知，本句为what引导的宾语从句，主语为the poets，谓语动词为think。根据下文中what they were doing可知本句为过去进行时。]
37．ourselves　[分析句子可知，从句中主语为we，根据句意“就好像我们自己创作了这首诗一样”可知用相应的反身代词ourselves。]
38．using　[by doing sth.“通过做某事”，为固定用法，所以用using。]
39．but/yet　[句意：电脑生成的诗歌可能在语法和风格上都是正确的，但有些人说它们仍然缺乏创造性和真正的意义。分析句子可知，空格处缺少连词，而前后语意表示转折，所以用连词but/yet。]

42．were written/are written　[分析句子可知，本句为whether引导的宾语从句，主语they和谓语动词write之间为被动关系，时态为一般过去时或一般现在时，故用一般过去时或一般现在时的被动语态。]
43．which　[考查分析句子可知，Sydney为先行词，在定语从句中作地点状语，所以定语从句用关系副词where/in which引导。因空格前有介词in，故填which。]
44．fool　[be able to do sth.“能够做某事”，为固定用法，所以to后接foolish对应的动词fool。]
45．that　[分析句子可知，本句为强调句型“It＋is/was＋被强调部分＋其他”的变形，在句中作identify的宾语从句。]

Dear Tom，
It is nice to receive your e­mail.Now I'd like to tell you something about the Palace Museum.
The Palace Museum，is a fascinating tourist attraction，can date from the Ming Dynasty.It took nearly 14 years to build and was completed in 1420.As the largest museum in China，it holds precious treasures from the past thousands of years of Chinese history.It's not surprising that its temples and palaces amount to 9，999 because nine is traditionally considered as a lucky number by Chinese people.Students from all over our country now can visit it in groups free of charge every Tuesday.
I do hope you can come to China and take a look at it in person.I'm sure you are more than likely to be attracted.
Best wishes!
Yours，
Li Hua
Ⅵ.读后续写(满分25分)
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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Alan and the other campers sat around the fire chewing meat chops.It would be Alan's first night in a tent，and he was excited but a little nervous.
As they ate，the conservation officer spoke，“Much of the wildlife in this area comes out only at night.So after supper，let's start a night watch.Volunteers will take turns to stay down here by the fire，away from the tents.Those who take part will get a chance to see a world that many of you never knew existed.”
Alan's stomach tightened.
“Isn't it dangerous？”someone asked.
“No，it's quite safe，”the officer said.
“There are no dangerous animals this close to Cape Town.Any volunteers？”
A tough­looking kid with red hair muttered something about needing a good night's sleep.
Another boy spoke up，“I'll take a shift.”The kid who'd sat next to Alan on the bus volunteered.Alan sat tight.Then one of the girls raised her hand with a giggle.
Alan frowned.If a girl could do it，he could，too.He volunteered.
A few more kids raised their hands，and then the officer explained，“This is how it works.When the rest of you go to bed，the first watcher takes his or her place by the fire.The duty of the watcher is to keep the fire going gently.After thirty minutes，he or she wakes the next person.”
Alan heard his voice asking，“Are you sure it's absolutely safe？”
The officer looked at him，“Well，nothing is absolutely safe.Crossing the road isn't absolutely safe.But the danger is minimal.We wouldn't have taken you here otherwise.Do you still want to volunteer？”
Alan nodded but felt uneasy.Sleeping in a tent with other campers had sounded OK，but the idea of being alone in the night made him tremble.
Earlier that day，the officer had challenged the campers to spot animal tracks along the river.That was fun.But being alone in the dark was not.Alan's flashlight was already fading to a dim glow because he had used it too often.Looking around，Alan thought he saw a large bird swooping(俯冲) and wondered if it was an owl.He had seen small paw prints in the sand by the river.Was the owl hunting for the creature that had made them?
Paragraph 1：
Then there was a noise.Alan froze.Something was there in the darkness.




Paragraph 2：
The next morning，the officer asked for reports.






[参考范文]
Paragraph 1：
Then there was a noise.Alan froze.Something was there in the darkness.Slowly，he reached for his flashlight.Another metallic sound，near the cooking pots. Alan's finger stabbed at the button on the flashlight.There，with a discarded bone in its mouth，was a creamy­brown creature with dark spots and a striped tail.Alan stared，and the creature stared back.Its round ears pricked and its sharp nose twitching.Then it was gone.Alan felt a rush of excitement.He crawled near the pots and saw small dog­like paw prints.Carefully，he rearranged the pots to cover them.
Paragraph 2：
The next morning，the officer asked for reports.Most kids claimed to have heard noises in the darkness.“I saw something，”said Alan，and he described it.Then he moved the pots and showed everyone the tracks.“Well done！You've met our local spotted genet，”said the officer，smiling.“Normally a genet lives on mice and birds，but this one likes chop bones，too.He visits our campsite sometimes，but only if the watcher is very quiet.Good for you！”Alan held his head high.Inside，though，he knew it was fear that had kept him so quiet.Next time，he thought，“I will be just as quiet，but no longer afraid.”
