You don’t have to be royalty to visit a castle. In the United States there are numerous castles open for exploration.

Hearst Castle, San Simeon, California

From 1919 to 1947, William Randolph Hearst and architect Julia Morgan built a castle fit for a king. Located on 250,000 acres of land halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the idea for Hearst Castle began as a “modest dwelling(居所)” but eventually grew to a multi-million-dollar project that included multiple buildings, including Casa Grande, a huge home featuring 38 bedrooms, 42 bathrooms and 14 sitting rooms. But perhaps the most attractive parts of the property are the two swimming pools. The castle now hosts a variety of themed tours, including evening tours where visitors can experience the property at dusk.

Biltmore Estate, Asheville, North Carolina

With an area of more than 178,000 square feet, the Biltmore Estate is considered the largest privately owned home in the United States. Designed by architect Richard Morris Hunt, the finished estate contains 250 rooms, 43 bathrooms and 65 fireplaces. Landscape architect Frederick Law Olmstead designed the property’s collection of gardens (you may recognize his name as the designer of New York City’s Central Park and Prospect Park).

Bishop Castle, Rye, Colorado

When Jim Bishop began building a summer cottage(村舍) in 1969, on a two-and-a-half-acre plot of forested land he had purchased ten years earlier at the age of 15, little did he know he would end up building a castle. With the help of his father, Willard, the pair gathered nearby rocks and, without using a single blueprint, set out to create a stone cottage. By 1995, the massive structure towered 165 feet in height, nearly as tall as al6-story building. Today, the stone castle draws crowds from around the world to enjoy the creation.

1. What can we learn about Hearst Castle from the text?

A. It took people 40 years to build.

B. It is located in the middle of Los Angeles.

C. The two swimming pools are a huge attraction.

D. Evening tours are preferred by tourists.

2. Who designed Biltmore Estate?

B. Frederick Law Olmstead.

C. Richard Morris Hunt and Frederick Law Olmstead.

D. Jim Bishop.

3. The text is most probably taken from a ________.

A. geography textbook B.travel magazine

C. science report D.commercial advertisement

In my early 20smy left arm became completely paralyzed in a traffic accident. Going from two fully functional arms to one meant I had to relearn everything I used to do with two hands. And as a person who’d sooner get lost than ask for directions, asking for help was difficult for me. I just wanted to swim; in the water I felt powerful because it removed gravity’s limitation. It was the only place I couldn’t feel the weight of my arm.

After college, I met Coach Alan through the Challenged Athletes Foundation. He was the reason why I started to train for the Tokyo Paralympics. I took part in my first Paralympics just two months after we met.

In swimming, a racing suit is called a tech suit, or a second skin. For tech suits, I aimed to go two or three sizes smaller than my usual size. It took me 15 minutes to put a tech suit on that day, but after the swimming event, with only one hand, I couldn’t take it off. I was stuck. I was prepared to reach for the knife in my bag and cut my way out of this expensive new suit.

A girl sitting on the bench near me, with her prosthetic legs beside her as she changed, saw me struggling. “Come here!” said, grabbing me with her knees to pull me closer. We both pulled the hopeless suit for a while. Then she called for help. A visually-impaired swimmer rushed over and managed to free me in less than a minute.

That locker room incident became the new normal for me. And finally, I got to be on the helping end as well. Asking for help is quite normal for anyone who lives with a disability. “Can you pass me my leg?” “Could you tie my shoes?” Helping others and accepting help is a way of life in the Paralympics.

Learning to ask for what I needed was the adaptation that proved to be even more difficult than managing a one-handed ponytail. And learning to do so was the win I hadn’t previously set my sights on, but ended up wanting the most.

4. Why did the author like swimming after the accident?

A. She met a great swim coach who could help her out.

B. She didn’t need to ask for directions when she was swimming.

C. She wanted to be the champion in the next Paralympic Games.

D. She could forget her disability and become powerful in the water.

5. What happened in the locker room?

A. The author was helped by other athletes. B. The author helped a a girl with prosthetic legs.

C. The author couldn’t find a suitable racing suit. D. The author took off her racing suit using a knife.

6. What did the author learn in the Paralympics?

A. Skiing for directions is better than getting lost.

B. Offering and accepting help is normal and essential.

C. Doing sports helps disabled people regain confidence.

D. Disabled athletes have to overcome lots of difficulties to succeed.

7. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Swimming cured my pain B. An adventure in the Paralympics

C. My best lesson in the locker room D. Helping others means helping yourself

Bogre Udell, the co-founder of a nonprofit called Wikitongues, who speaks four languages, met Frederico Andrade, who speaks five,at the Parsons New School in New York City. In 2014,they started a project to make the first public records of every language in the world. They've already recorded more than 350 languages, and plan to hit 1,000 in the coming years.

“When humans lose a language, we also lose greater diversity(多样性) in art and traditions,” said Bore Udell. Between 1950 and 2010,230 languages disappeared. Today, a third of the world's languages have fewer than 1,000 speakers left. Every two weeks a language dies with its last speaker, and 50 to 90 percent of them are said to disappear by the next century.

Wikitongues has asked volunteers in 40 countries to film native speakers talking in the past, present, and future tenses of their mother languages. Native speakers are asked to recall childhood, share their stories and discuss their hopes and goals. One volunteer in the South Pacific islands of Vanuatu recorded a language that had never been studied by linguists(语言学家) before. Another volunteer found a speaker of Ainu, a language in Japan that has no relation to any other known language. However, priceless recording opportunities disappear regularly. Not long ago, one of the last two speakers of a Saami language died right before his recording session with Wikitongues.

A lack of protection and globalization are to blame for the dwindling language diversity. For much of the 20^thcentury, governments across the world have forced some local people to use official languages. More than 100 languages in Australia- have disappeared since European settlers arrived. However, most languages die today because of other factors; climate change and urbanization contribute greatly to the disappearance of languages.

8. Why did Bogre Udell and Frederico Andrade start the project?

A. To test people's language levels.

B. To offer language courses to people.

C. To record all the languages in the world.

D. To find out the reasons for language loss.

9. What does the author point out in Paragraph 2?

A. Language loss is becoming quite serious.

B. Many people are worried about language loss.

C. Language loss makes it difficult for people to communicate.

D. Some countries fail to slow down the process of language loss.

10. How did volunteers help protect languages?

A. By writing down native speakers'stories.

B. By learning languages from native speakers.

C. By improving the living conditions of native speakers.

D. By videoing native speakers talking in their languages.

11. What does the underlined word “dwindling” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A. Rich. B. Growing. C. Decreasing. D. Changing.

Have you ever been astonished by a magician’s trick, and then tried to work out how they did it? If so, then you’ve done more than just try to solve a particular bit of stagecraft(舞台艺术). You’ve taken a step toward figuring out some of the mysteries of human brain itself in the company of an expert.

It may be carefully hidden, but the psychology of learning is an important aspect of magicians’ art. It’s more important than their props, their assistants and even the physical skills developed over decades. A sharp understanding of thinking and learning is important to every trick they do.

So, it’s not surprising that psychologists are now exploring beyond the smoke and mirrors to “learn about learning” from these masters of magic and the human mind. In the process, they’re uncovering secrets that can help us all to use our brains better, and showing how we can add an extra bit of sparkle(火花) to everything we do.

Magic has been a rich resource for research ever since. Magicians change visual processing with optical illusions(视觉幻象). They use false logic to affect volunteers’ decision-making. Even the most natural-looking movement of a hand can have a powerful psychological effect.

Magicians know, for example, that our eyes look wherever they look. And they rely on the brain’s instinct (直觉) to watch moving objects. In many ways, they know our minds better than we do!

Recently, the research has gathered pace, and it has become more complicated. As magician Matthew L. Tompkins shows in his book The Spectacle of Illusion, psychologists are now using magic to understand more about processes such as observation, decision-making and belief-forming.

12. What are you trying to do while reflecting on a magic trick?

A. Expect more explanations from experts.

B. Understand more about our brains.

C. Learn more performance skills.

D. Solve some mysteries in life.

13. Why do psychologists further study magic?

A. To know more about magicians’ thinking.

B. To explore more stage props.

C. To help people better use their brains.

D. To discover more mysterious magic tricks.

14. How can a magician produce a powerful effect in front of the audience?

A. By giving them a false visual effect.

BBy relying on natural-looking movements.

C. By negatively affecting their brains’ instinct.

D. By following the pace of their decision-making.

15. What’s mainly discussed in the text?

A. The mysteries of human brain.

B. Common tricks used by magicians.

C. The importance of psychology in magic.

D. The relationship between magic and science.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

There are many theories that suggest different ways of improving memory or thinking more clearly. One of those is the idea that adding rosemary (迷迭香) to your food or water, or even breathing in its fragrance, can give your brain a boost.

First, it’s important to understand what rosemary is. ____16____ It’s a perennial, meaning that once you plant it, it should re-grow every year when the weather is warm enough for it to do so. It’s native to Asia and the Mediterranean. ____17____

Rosemary is related to the mint (薄荷) family of plants. When it blooms, its flowers are white, purple, pink or deep blue. It is often used as a flavor in food, including soups, meat, fish and other Mediterranean food. And it has a somewhat bitter flavor. Some people also enjoy tea flavored with rosemary. ____18____

One study that involved 28 older adults found that consumption of a small amount of dried rosemary powder was associated with statistically significantly improved memory speed. ____19____ Researchers found that their memory of images and numbers improved when the essential oil of rosemary was sprayed in the room.

____20____ But one theory is that rosemary appears to have some antioxidant (抗氧剂) properties that may offer some healing for the damage in our bodies. Another idea is that rosemary appears to lower anxiety, which in turn, may increase the ability to concentrate.

While rosemary shows some promise for boosting our brain power, it’s important to check with your doctor before you begin having it.

A. But it is grown in the United States, as well.

BRosemary is a herb with needle-like leaves.

C. Here’s what research has found about rosemary.

D. It is unknown if those benefits would hold true for humans.

E. It’s not known for sure why there may be a benefit from rosemary.

F. Rosemary is also used as a perfume and added to shampoo and soap.

There was a rich couple who was throwing a big New Year party at their house. So they went shopping at the market where everything was of high cost and fixed price. They wanted to maintain their level of standard so they didn’t mind paying for it. After purchasing all they needed, they called a porter to carry everything and drop it at their home. The porter who came was of an old age, and looked very unhealthy, and his clothes were torn, and he looked as if he wasn’t even able to meet his daily needs.

They asked the porter about the charges for delivering their goods to their home. The old porter quoted just $20, well below the market price. Yet, the couple argued and bargained with the porter and finally settled for $15. The porter was struggling to make even one time’s meal so he needed anything he could earn.

The couple was very happy thinking how well they bargained with the poor porter and paid him $15 in advance and left after giving the porter their address for delivery. They reached their home and one hour passed, and two hours passed, but the porter still didn’t deliver their stuff.

The wife started to get angry at her husband, “I always tell you not to trust such person, but you never listen to me. I am sure instead of delivering the goods to our home, he must have disappeared with everything. We must immediately go back to the market to inquire and then to the police station to file the complaint against him.”

They both left towards the market. On their way near the market, they saw another porter. They stopped him to inquire about the old porter and noticed that he was carrying their goods in his cart! The angry wife asked him, “Where is that old thief? This is our goods and he was supposed to deliver them. It seems you poor thieves are stealing our goods and going to sell them.”

Paragraph 1:

When the porter heard the angry wife asking.

【答案】come

【详解】考查倒装句，时态和主谓一致。句意：我们几乎可以在网上实现任何事情——接入互联网会带来一些真正改变生活的优势。此处为完全倒装，主语为some truly life-changing advantages，陈述客观事实用一般现在时，主语是复数，谓语用原形。故填come。

【详解】考查形容词。句意：去一家又一家的商店寻找一双完美的靴子的日子一去不复返了——你可以在舒适的客厅里快速轻松地比较款式和价格。分析可知，“________(go) are the days of searching shop after shop for the perfect pair of boots”的主语为“the days of searching shop after shop for the perfect pair of boots(在一家又一家商店寻找一双完美的靴子的日子)”，“are”为系动词，所填应是形容词作表语。主语过于冗长，为了避免句子头重脚轻，而置于句末，构成“表语+系动词+主语”不典型倒装结构，实为“修辞倒装”。“go”，动词，其过去分词“gone”可为形容词，意为“不复存在；一去不复返”，符合句意，置于句首，首字母大写。故填Gone。

38. What did the person ________(cut) your hair think about the app? (所给词的适当形式填空)

【答案】awarded

【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：屠呦呦成为中华人民共和国首位获得诺贝尔奖的女科学家，该奖授予她对抗击疟疾做出的贡献。疟疾是人类历史上最致命的疾病之一。逻辑主语Tu Youyou与award与之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词作状语。故填awarded。

【答案】promising

【详解】考查形容词。句意：当它们没有产生任何有希望的结果时，屠呦呦再次查阅了中医古籍。分析句式结构可知，修饰名词应该用形容词，所以此处用提示词的形容词形式promising表示“有希望的、有前途的”符合语境。故填promising。

43. When there was no research equipment,they had to extract herbs using household water ________(contain)．（所给词的适当形式填空）

【详解】考查to do不定式的被动语态。句意：在患者身上进行的试验可能会被推迟，因为他们没有足够的安全性数据。be likely to do意为“可能做某事”，为固定搭配。动词postpone意为“推迟”，和主语trials构成被动关系。故填to be postponed。

45. Perhaps the next generation of scientists,________(draw) on the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine, will indeed discover more medicines beneficial to global health care.（所给词的适当形式填空）

【答案】drawing

【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：也许，下一代的科学家们，在汲取中医智慧的基础上，确实会发现更多有益于全球卫生保健的药物。逻辑主语scientists与draw是逻辑主谓关系，应用现在分词，表主动，作状语。故填drawing。

46. One might think Fleming discovered penicillin ________accident,but actually this is far from the truth．（用适当的词填空）

【答案】by

【详解】考查介词。句意：人们可能会认为弗莱明是偶然发现青霉素的，但事实远非如此。此处为短语by accident表示“偶然”。故填by。

【解析】

【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。

【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，一对富人夫妇为了准备新年聚会去市场不惜高价买了许多物品，然后雇佣了一个搬运工把这些物品运回家。搬运工是一个年老体弱生活拮据的人，他要价$20低于市场价，而富人夫妇讨价还价后只给$15。富人夫妇高兴地回家等着老人把物品送来，却迟迟不见老人的身影。妻子认为上了老人的当，一定老人把他们的物品卖掉了。回去找老人时却发现他们的物品在另外一个搬运工的车上。

续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：当搬运工听到生气的妻子问题时……，所以应该写他讲述的实情，老人病了又吃不上饭，这次摔倒了，他把$15给了这个搬运工，请求他把物品送到富人家。第二段开头是：丈夫听了，眼里含着泪水，……。下文应该写富人夫妇被老人感动，行动和态度都发生了改变。
