Unlike most of the Netherlands, Hilversum is actually in a hilly area with the soil mostly made up of sand. Once called the Garden of Amsterdam, it still attracts travelers to come over to cycle and walk through the surrounding forests. They visit it for a relaxing day off from the urban madness. For Dutch people, Hilversum is all about textile (纺织) and media industries, and modern architecture.In history, Hilversum was largely an agricultural area. Daily life was marked by farming, sheep raising and wool production. A railway link to Amsterdam in 1874 attracted rich traders from Amsterdam to Hilversum. They built themselves large villas in the wooded surroundings of the town. One of the families moving in was the Brenninkmeijers, currently the wealthiest family of the Netherlands. They moved in after big success in the textile industry and meant to build a large and important textile industry in Hilversum. But the textile boom lasted only several decades. The last factory closed in the 1960s.The change to a media economy started in 1920, when the Nederlandse Seintoestellen Fabriek (NSF) established a radio factory in Hilversum. Most radio stations moved over in the large villas in the leafy areas of the town. Television gave another push to the local economy. Hilversum became the media capital of the Netherlands, and Dutch television stars moved into the leafy neighborhoods surrounding the town. In the early 1900s, modern architects WM. Dudok and J. Duiker placed hundreds of remarkable buildings in Hilversum. These modern architectural masterpieces are so many that Hilversum almost feels like an open air museum. Dudok alone shaped most of 20th century Hilversum and about 75 buildings still bear his unique characteristies. His masterpiece, Hilversum Town Hall, was built in 19281931. It has wide international fame and is included in many architecture textbooks. The building has a remarkable shape and looks like a combination of “blocks”. Actually, one may start his journey of modern architecture by walking or biking the W. M. Dudok Architectural Route in Hilversum.篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了荷兰中等城市希尔弗瑟姆在纺织业、传媒业和现代建筑方面的历史变迁。1Hilversurn is different from most of the Netherlands in that _.Ait has a large populationBit is cut off from big citiesCit has many beautiful gardensDit is in a hilly area with sandy soil答案：D细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句可知，与荷兰大部分地区不同，希尔弗瑟姆实际上位于一片主要为沙地的山区。故选D。2What was the greatest contribution of the Brenninkmeijers to Hilversum?ABuilding a railway link to Amsterdam.BHelping its textile industry to develop.CConstructing large villas for the poor.DAssisting its agricultural industry.答案：B细节理解题。根据文章第二段倒数第二、三句可知，布伦宁克迈耶家族在纺织业取得巨大成功后迁入希尔弗瑟姆，并在那里建造了大型且重要的纺织业，虽然只繁荣了几十年。故选B。3The beginning of the media industry in Hilversum was marked by the establishment of _.Aa radio factory Bthe media capitalCa radio station Da TV station答案：A细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一句可知，当NSF在希尔弗瑟姆建立无线电厂时，传媒经济的转变就于1920年开始了。故选A。4What is known about WM.Dudoks Hilversum Town Hall?AIt consists of approximately 75 buildings.BIt looks like an open air museum in the city.CIt is a classic example in architecture textbooks.DIt has shaped most of 20th century Hilversum.答案：C推理判断题。根据最后一段倒数第三句可知，希尔弗瑟姆市政厅享誉世界，并被收录在许多建筑学教科书里，故可推知有很多经典的建筑例子被收录进教科书。故选C。B(2019清华大学附属中学高三第一次模拟考试)Abraham Lincoln, a selftaught lawyer, was elected the 16th President of the United States in November 1860, shortly before the outbreak of the Civil War. Lincoln proved to be a smart military strategist and a competent leader: His Emancipation Proclamation (解放宣言) paved the way for slaverys abolition, while his Gettysburg Address stands as one of the most famous speeches in American history. In April 1865, with the Union on the brink of victory, Abraham Lincoln was killed; his untimely death made him a hero to the cause of liberty, and he is widely regarded as one of the greatest presidents in US history.On January 20, 1981, Reagan took office. Only 69 days later he was shot by a wouldbe killer, but quickly recovered and returned to duty. His grace and wit during the dangerous incident caused his popularity to soar.At the end of his two terms in office, Ronald Reagan viewed with satisfaction the achievements of his innovative program known as the Reagan Revolution, which aimed to motivate the American people and reduce their reliance upon Government. He felt he had fulfilled his campaign pledge of 1980 to restore “the great, confident roar of American progress and growth and optimism.”When George W. Bush, at the age of 54, became the 43rd President of the United States, it was only the second time in American history that a presidents son went on to the White House. John Quincy Adams, elected the sixth president in 1824, was the son of John Adams, the second president. While John Adams had brought up his son to be president, George Bush, the 41st president, insisted he was surprised when the eldest of his six children became interested in politics, became governor of Texas, and then went on to the White House.Barack Obama served as the 44th President of the United States. His story is the American storyvalues from the heartland, a middleclass upbringing in a strong family, hard work and education as the means of getting ahead, and the belief that a life so blessed should be lived in service to others.With a father from Kenya and a mother from Kansas, President Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961.

You step into a cave. But instead of the dog, you find beautiful cave paintings. You see paintings of horses, deer, and bison that were drawn in black, brown, red and yellow. Your first question would probably be “Who did this？”This is what happened to four French boys in 1940.They found the Lascaux caves. The paintings the boys discovered in those caves are about 17,000 years old. They were drawn by the ancient people called CroMagnons.CroMagnons looked much like people of today. They used tools, such as fishing nets. But their art was extremely good. The main cave at Lascaux is called Great Hall of Bulls, which has a picture of bulls and horses in many colours. The largest animal is 18 feet long. There are smaller animals, such as bison, stags and a bear. There is also a strange spotted twohorned (两只角的) animal.To the left of the main cave are the most famous paintings that are the drawings of animals in many different colours. One painting is called Little Horses. On the ceiling are horses and cows. The most unusual sight may be in the Shaft of the Dead Man where there is a rhinoceros, a carefully drawn dead man, an injured bison and a bird.Why did CroMagnon artists do these beautiful drawings on cave walls? Did the drawings call upon some magic power? Did the CroMagnon people hope that the drawings would bring good luck? There is one thing the paintings seem to tell us. The CroMagnons were interested in the world. They looked at beauty and they understood it.篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了法国拉斯科(Lascaux)岩洞壁画。1The author uses the word “You” in Paragraph 1 to _.Aattract readers attentionBmake it clear that this is a true storyCgive readers good directions to find the cavesDcompare modern people with CroMagnon people答案：A推理判断题。第一段虚构了一个以读者为主人公的场景，目的是引起读者的注意。故选A。2Most of the drawings in the caves are about _.AboysBtoolsChumansDanimals答案：D细节理解题。根据第三、四段对壁画的描述可知，洞内的绝大多数壁画是关于动物的。故选D。3Wha
