21．（6分） Tulou, the special residential architecture of Fujian Province was included on the UNESCO’s World Heritage List during the 32nd session of the World Heritage Committee in Quebec, Canada.
In the fourth century, Han Chinese living in the Central Plains area began to migrate south, gradually gathering in Fujian and forming the Hakka communities. As a defence against enemies, the Hakkas chose to live in compact( 紧凑的 ) communities, and the tulou was their preferred houses. Tens of thousands of such earthen structures were constructed in Fujian Province.
Most tulous are to be found in the valleys, surrounded by high mountains, and some are in the depths of the great mountains. Most are three to four stories high, and look like circular blockhouses（堡垒）. Rooms on the first floor are used as kitchens, rooms on the second floor are used as barns(谷仓), and rooms on the third and fourth floors are for bedrooms and living rooms. For defensive purposes, the rooms on the first floor have no windows.
Raw materials for the tulou were obtained locally. Their main building material was a mixture of clay, sand, lime and water, and egg whites, brown sugar and rice water were added as adhesive agents（粘合剂）. It was then mixed to form the walls. Once they dried, the walls were so hard that driving a nail into them would have been difficult. Fir branches, which are extremely strong and do not rot, were used to strengthen them, and many centuries later they have remained their original look.
Tulous are located in a region where earthquakes happen frequently, and their circular construction helps them resist the regular shocks.
The proven design even inspired one famous Peruvian architect, who paid several visits to Yongding, to build a tulou back home. Not long after, an earthquake struck only 10 kilometers away, and while all the houses around the earthen building fell down, his tulou remained.
1、From the passage, we know that Tulou ______.
A．is a special residential architecture of Han Chinese in Fujian even today
B．was once the place where the Hakkas chose to live together
C．stands in the valleys and is also modern people’s preferred houses

D．looks like circular blockhouses but easy to fall down in the earthquake
2、Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Hakkas built tulous when they lived in the Central Plains area.
B．Raw materials for the tulou were obtained from far away.
C．It is difficult to dig a hole into the walls of the tulou.
D．Fir branches may help them resist the regular shocks.
3、What would be the best title for the passage?
A．One of UNESCO’s World Heritage List
B．The Function of Tulous
C．Yongding County and The Hakkas
D．The special Earthen Architecture of Fujian
22．（8分） Every year from March to October, Christian Moullec, also known as “Birdman,” takes to the skies aboard his adapted light aircraft. However, the 58-year-old Frenchman’s daily 30-minute flight is not just to enjoy the impressive views, but to guide flocks (鸟群) of lesser white-fronted geese (小白额雁) through safe migration paths which the birds can teach future generations.
His deed began in 1995 when he noticed their declining population in the wilds of Lapland, Sweden. To prevent their numbers from dropping further, Moullec tried to get the threatened species to follow him along migration routes that would protect them from bird hunters.
However, getting grown geese to follow his lead proved challenging. As young geese imitate and follow whomever they view as their parent, Moullec decided to raise the geese from birth.
To help raise funds and awareness of his job to protect not just the geese but birds worldwide, Moullec often allows paying tourists to join him on the 30-minute-long flights aboard his aircraft. In addition to the trained birds flying alongside them, visitors, who come from as far as a 15-hour plane flight away, are treated to a variety of crane and geese species as well as breathtaking views of castles and cities.
He often brings his camera along for the flights, capturing photos not just for their beauty, but for what they describe. Moullec believes the use of agricultural chemicals has done harm to wild European birds, with more than a third disappearing in the last 30 years. “It's a disaster,” he said. “My beautiful images with flying birds should be used to tell this story. ”
1、Why does “Birdman” always fly to the sky on his aircraft?
A．To observe geese along their migration routes.
B．To follow geese through safe migration paths.
C．To take visitors to operate his adapted aircraft.
D．To guide geese fly safely during the migration.
2、What do we know about “Birdman”？
A．He is a nature lover. B．He is a bird watcher.
C．He is a volunteer pilot. D．He is a bird hunter.
3、What does Moullec often take photos in his flights for?
A．Recording the use of agricultural chemicals.
B．Showing serious damage caused by chemicals.
C．Describing his experiences with flying birds.
D．Capturing the beautiful views of birds and cities.
4、What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Birdman Guides Flocks to Learn to Fly.
B．Birdman Finds Birds Disappearing.
C．Birdman Helps Flocks Safely Migrate.
D．Birdman Protects Birds From Hunters.

24．（8分）Winter sports tend to be more dangerous than summer sports — they take place mostly outside at the mercy of ice or snow, involving (牵涉) metal edges, extreme speeds and crashes. Skeleton (俯视冰梭), however, stands apart as one of the most difficult and least accessible of all the winter sports. Adam Edelman, Israel’s first Olympic skeleton athlete, would like to change that.
Edelman was the 10th athlete named to the 2018 Israeli Olympic Team. Qualifying for the Olympics in any sport is impressive. But it’s more impressive if you qualify for the Olympics after only four years in the sport — and without a coach.
Edelman was first introduced to skeleton watching the game on television in late 2013. Sports have always been a part of his life. He grew up playing football and was a goalkeeper on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology football team. Ready for a new challenge, he set his sights on the Olympics.
Without a coach, Edelman learned to drive by watching endless hours of YouTube videos and taking more runs than anybody else on the track. “When everybody else would take three runs per day, I would take six to eight.” he recalled.
Succeeding in skeleton takes a large amount of athletic ability and technical skill, but there’s one more element (因素) required, one that can’t be taught. “These tracks but built in the middle of nowhere, and it’s gray and cold. You haven’t seen your family in seven months and you really just want to give up. To continue, it takes tenacity.” Edelman said.
Edelman is already looking beyond Pyeongchang. The 2022 Olympics could be in his future, but whether he continues to compete or not, he promises to stay in Israeli sports as long as possible-as instructor or as a coach.
1、What might impress people most?
A．Edelman’s gift in winter sports.
B．The challenges Edelman has met.
C．Edelman entering for the Olympics.
D．Edelman’s successful story as a skeleton athlete.
2、Which word can be used to describe Edelman?
A．Modest. B．Generous.
C．Ambitious. D．Reliable.
3、What does the underlined word “tenacity” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A．Will power. B．Extra strength.
C．Good luck. D．Financial support.
4、What might be Edelman’s plan for the future?
A．Setting up a team of his own.
B．Passing on his skills and experience.
C．Calling on more people to take up sports.
D．Ending his sports life after the Olympic Games.
25．（10分） A bargain is something offered at a low and advantageous price. A more recent definition is: a bargain is a dirty trick to force money out of the pockets of silly and innocent people.
The cost of producing a new—for example—toothpaste would make 80 p the proper price for it, so we will market it at £ 1. 20. It is not a bad toothpaste, and as people like to try new things it will sell well to start with; but the attraction of novelty soon fades, so sales will fall. When that happens we will reduce the price to £ l. 15. And we will turn it into a bargain by printing 5 p OFF all over it.
Sometimes it is not 5 p OFF but l p OFF. What breathtaking rudeness to advertise l p OFF your soap or washing powder or whatever! Even the poorest old-age pensioner ought to regard this as an insult（侮辱）, but he doesn’t. A bargain must not be missed. People say one has to have washing powder（or whatever）and one might as well buy it a penny cheaper.
The real danger starts when unnecessary things become “bargains”. Many people just cannot resist bargains. Provided they think they are getting a bargain they will buy clothes they will never wear or furniture they have no space for. Once I heard of a man who bought an electric saw as a bargain and cut off two of his fingers the next day. But he had no regrets: the saw had been truly cheap.
Quite a few people actually believe that they make money on such bargains. A lady once told me: “I’ve had a lucky day today. I bought a dress for £120, reduced from £400; and I bought a beautiful Persian carpet for £600, reduced from £900.” It will never occur to her that she has actually wasted £720. She feels as though she had made £ 580. She also feels, I am sure, that i
