It is also held as a numerous tourist destination due to the presence of the Eiffel Tower and several other historical buildings, museums and churches.RomeA talk about Europe is incomplete without a mention of Rome. Held as a place where one of the oldest civilizations of the world prospered (繁荣), Rome is where you’d get to see numerous castles, palaces, ancient buildings, fountains, squares and beautiful parks. Several tourists come here especially to have a look at the Renaissance architecture that the buildings of this city boast.BarcelonaBarcelona, a major city in Spain, is regarded among the 10 best beach cities of the world. The city’s coastline has clear waters and a mild climate which makes it a favorite destination among sun bathers. Besides that, Barcelona has a glorious past to show off. You must wander through its busy streets and take a look at the historic buildings, castles, churches, parks and museums.ViennaIf you are a music lover and a steady devotee of Beethoven or Mozart, then a visit to Vienna is like going on a pilgrimage (朝圣). This is because Vienna is the birthplace of these artists. You’d find their homes there and also their memorial graves. Besides that, Vienna is known for castles, palaces, museums and historic monuments. If you are a devoted art lover, Vienna is the place for you. It has nearly a hundred museums devoted to art!21.

On their birthdays, people receive birthday cards and birthday presents from their family and friends. Children’s cards often have a large number on them showing how old they are. Cards for adults have pictures of flowers or scenery, or humorous or rude cartoons. Inside there is usually a simple greeting, such as “Happy Birthday〞 or “Many Happy Returns of the Day.〞In the US, children who have their birthdays during the school year take a cake to school and have a small party with their classmates. In Britain, children sometimes get Bumped (lifted off the ground horizontally and put down again sharply) by their friends.In the US, the 16th birthday is called sweet 16. It is the age at which a person can get a US driver’s license, and some wealthier parents give their children a car as a present. At 18, in Britain and in the US, young people become adults and many have a big party. In most parts of the US, 21 is the age at which people can drink alcohol legally.In Britain, people celebrate 21st birthday less. Many adults dislike getting older and a few lie about their age. But in general older people are now much more willing to tell others their age. You may see a sign by the side of a road saying: “Dave Ell is 40 today!〞, put there by Dave’s friends. At about 65, people retire, and those who have reached this age are called senior citizens. Few people live to be 100, so a 100th birthday is very special. In Britain, people reaching this age may receive card containing a printed message from the Queen.24. What’s the main characteristic of children’s birthday cards?A.

Young people will get a car as the 16th birthday present in the US.D. British young men love to celebrate the 21st birthday.CDo cell phones cause cancer? No one knows for sure. Mobile phones have only been widely used for around 20 years, with the very first ones introduced just over 30 years ago. It’s too soon to tell just how harmful cell phones are.In February 2021, a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association recorded changes in brain glucose metabolism (葡萄糖代谢) during cell phone use. The study became the first to prove that cell phone use changes brain activity by monitoring 47 healthy volunteers seated and on the phone for 50 minutes. The volunteers’ brains were monitored by special scanners to measure glucose metabolism.Then in May 2021, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) added radiation from cell phones to its list of things that possibly cause cancer in humans. The IARC's research found that most cell phone use did not lead to more risk of glioma, a dangerous type of brain cancer, or meningioma, a more common, but typically not harmful cancer. However, the study did find enough evidence that using cell phones for long periods of time on the same side of the head could mean an increased risk of glioma.In a contrasting report published in July 2021, a British Institute of Cancer Research study found little evidence of cancer risk in 10 to 15 years of use. The study showed that there have been no increases in brain tumors (肿瘤) in several countries over the last 30 years since cell phones were introduced or even in the last 20 years since their use became more widespread.With no long-term research available yet, limiting exposure to cell phone radiation by texting more and talking less is recommended. Stay off the phone when you have a weak signal, as it will need more radiation to contact the tower. Phone use for children should also be limited because their brains absorb twice as much cell phone radiation.28.We can't be sure whether cell phones cause cancer because _______.A. there has been little research on the problem up to nowB. it's difficult to track the bad effects of cell phone radiationC. different studies has been arguing fiercely about this problemD. there has been little evidence of it given the short history of cell phones.29. What did the IARC find from their research?A. Radiation from the cell phone is certain to cause some brain cancers.B. Using cell phone for long periods of time could increase the risk of cancer.C. Cell phone use is more likely to cause a common cancer than a dangerous one.D. Staying away from cell phones with weak signal can reduce the risk of cancer.30. What is recommended to reduce the harm from cell phone use?A. Staying far away from the signal tower.B. Using cell phones when the signal is weak.C. Limiting children's exposure to cell phones.D. Talking more and texting less via cell phones.第二节 〔一共5小题,每一小题2分,满分是10分〕根据短文内容,从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。选项里面有两项为多余选项。注意:涂卡时,如答题卡上没有E、F、G选项,请按如下方式填涂:选E涂AB;选F涂BC;选G涂CD。Difficult financial times don’t mean your giving shuts down. 31 There are so many ways to give back that won’t hurt your wallet and will enrich your life.1.

Many people believe that cloning represents man’s attempt to “play God” and want to see it banned. There are also many people who say that cloning research involving other animals should be banned as well. One scientist who doesn’t go along with this point of view is Michael Archer, who supports a proposed project to try to bring back the Tasmanian tiger that no longer exists. He believes people kill off all of the Tasmanian tigers, but through cloning the mistake could be corrected.Before the 1800s, this animal could be found all across Australia. But when settlers from Europe came to Australia, they found that Australia was a very good place to raise sheep. Unfortunately, many of these sheep were killed by Tasmanian tigers, so people began to hunt the tigers. In 1936, the last known Tasmanian tiger died in a zoo in Tasmania. Since then, no evidence of any living Tasmanian tigers in the wild has been found.What is the main purpose of the passage?A. It is to present the history of cloning research.B. It is to argue against cloning research.C. It is to contrast cloning laws in different countries.D. It is to explain a specific cloning project.

Beginning college is exciting: new ideas to explore，new challenges to be met and many decisions to be made. Your future begins here.However，you will find college life is different from your previous school environment. Many of us can be easily overwhelmed by the details of running a well­balanced life. While some of us may have the know­how，I guess there are more of us who can benefit from learning about the experiences of others who have walked the college halls before you.The following you may find of use about life on campus.● Plan well. There are so many new things to do at a new college or university. Give yourself time to make new friends and become familiar with the campus，but don’t forget why you are there. Give some time for social activities and manage your time wisely.● If you don’t have a “system” for planning your time now (like a day timer，a computer date book)，get one. Most of all，don’t depend on your memory.● Don’t miss the guidelines. The restrictions，rules and regulations of all kinds can usually be found in your student’s handbook. Consider them well­balanced food for thought. What dates are important? What pieces of paper need to be handed in? What can/ can’t you do in your student residence(住处)? Who has the right for what? What do you need to complete to graduate?●Write the word “STUDY” on the walls of our bedroom and bathroom，and maybe it will help to write it on a piece of paper and stick it on the telephone，TV and the kitchen table. Consider this—you are paying thousands of dollars for your courses. You pay every time you have to repeat or replace a course.● Build your identity. This is the time for you to decide what to do and what not to do. Take as much time as you need to explore new ideas. Do not be afraid of the beyond. This is learning to make good choices.66．What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To offer advice on college life. 　　 B.To explain why college life is exciting.C.To describe the importance of college life. D.To persuade you to go to college.67．According to the passage，why is it exciting to begin college life?A. Because you will have more freedom at college. B. Because you will no longer be afraid of the beyond.C. Because you prepare for your future career and life there.D. Because professors there will provide you with many new ideas.68．The underlined word “know­how” refers to ________.A. an understanding of how things are going at collegeB. practical knowledge about how to behave and what to do at collegeC. college halls where rules and regulations are presentedD. an environment completely different from the one you’re used to69．According to the passage，college students ________.A. needn’t learn from those who went to college before themB. spend as much time as possible on social activitiesC. should know what they have fought for on campusD. are supposed to repeat or replace at least one course70．According to the passage，all the following statements are true EXCEPT ________.A. at college you should take an active part in social activitiesB. the author advises you to get a computer data bookC. you are reminded of study by making a sign everywhereD. you are given a suggestion that you make an identity card first.
