For many years it has been supposed that there is a large dinosaur-like monster in Loch Ness. However, several scientific studies have been conducted and these have not shown any presence of such a monster. Many people believe that the size (21 square miles) and great depth of the lake (almost 800 feet), together with possible underwater caves, gives the monster many places to hide. Regardless of the truth, the suggestion of the monster’s existence makes Loch Ness one of Scotland’s top tourist attractions. ‎ Loch Ness is the second largest Scottish lake by surface area after Loch Lomond, but as for its depth it is the largest by volume (容量). Its deepest point is230m(754 feet), deeper than the height of London’s BT (British Telecom) Tower at189m(620 feet) and deeper than any other lake except Loch Morar. It contains more fresh water than all lakes in England and Wales combined, and is the largest body of water on the Great Glen geologic fault (大峡谷断层) which runs from Inverness in the north to Fort William in the south. TheCaledonian Canal, which connects the sea at either end of the fault, uses Loch Ness for part of its route. It is one of a series of interconnected, dark bodies of water in Scotland; its water visibility (能见度) is extremely low because of a high peat (泥煤) content in the surrounding soil.‎ The only island on Loch Ness is Cherry Island, visible at its southwestern end, near Fort Augustus. It is a crannog, which is a form of artificial island. (Most crannogs were constructed during the Iron Age.) At Drumnadrochit is the Loch Ness Exhibition Centre which explores the mystery through the natural history of Loch Ness. Traveling on ships for pleasure is now available, and it gives visitors the chance to look for the monster. And there are more tourist attractions where the whole family can relax and have fun.‎ 39. What can we learn about the Loch Ness monster?‎ A. It has moved to live in a nearby ‎ lake. B. It looks much bigger than a dinosaur. C. It was once found in an underwater cave. D. Whether or not it exists is still unknown.‎ ‎40. According to the text, Loch Ness _____.‎ A. is the second deepest lake after Loch Morar B. is the largest freshwater lake in Europe C. has only existed for over one century D. has a depth of more than 800 feet ‎41. What will the author most probably talk about next?‎ A. Why there was a monster in Loch Ness. B. What people can do on Cherry Island. C. Where people can enjoy themselves. D. How Loch Ness came into being.‎ ‎42. The author’s purpose of writing the text is most likely to _____.‎ A. discuss B. introduce C. educate D. persuade C Chinese state media said that high-speed rail, electronic payment systems, bike sharing and online shopping, are China’s “four new great inventions”. It attracted great attention online. Government-run Xinhua News Agency said the country should also be praised, comparing them to the four innovations(四大发明) of ancient China. ‎ ‎   The so-called  “four new great inventions” were based on last year’s research carried out by the Silk Road Research Institute. In the survey, China’s foreign students from 20 countries near the “Belt and Road Initiative(一带一路)” were asked to pick China’s “four new great inventions” that they want their home countries to use. “China’s trains are very clean, comfortable and cheap,” one of the foreign interviewees said. “Jack Ma’s Alipay is really helpful,” said Nabina who comes from Nepal. “I love bike sharing. It saves me a lot of time,” said one interviewee who comes from Russia. “Online shopping is convenient for customers,” a foreign ‎ interviewee said.‎ Xinhua’s article noted that “Among the four, high-speed rail and online shopping aren’t from China, but we bring the inventions to the world’s top level with our intelligence and innovation and make them China’s calling card.”‎ However, just a little research will show that not one of the four inventions were born in China. Online shopping was invented and used by Michael Aldrich in the U.K. in 1979, while the Japanese operated the first modern high-speed rail in 1964.  Meanwhile, E-payment systems have been used in the United States since the 1990s, while bike-sharing services were already a thing in Europe way back in the 1960s.‎ Even so, in recent years, a number of China’s technological innovations have been making their moves in the world. Among them, the four stand out with a reputation of China’s “four great new inventions” in modern times, which have made the daily life of the public more and more convenient.‎ 43. According to the passage, the so-called “four new great inventions”______.‎ A. caused much discussion worldwide B. were spoke highly by foreign interviewees C. were reported many times by Xinhua News Agency D. are better than the four innovations of ancient China ‎44. From the article of Xinhua, we can know that high-speed rail and online shopping are______.‎ A. raised to a new level by Chinese people B. brought to the new world on the Internet C. greatly changed by adding ancient wisdom D. improved in China to meet Chinese people’s needs ‎45. What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about?‎ A. The introduction of China’s “four new inventions”. B. Different opinions about China’s “four new ‎ inventions”. C. The mysterious histories of the“four new inventions” of ancient China. D. The information showing the “four new inventions” were not from China.‎ ‎46. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. Science and technology is changing the public. B. China’s innovations took the leading position. C. The “four new inventions” have improved people’s life. D. Foreign students shared their different ideas about the “four innovations” of ancient China.‎ D There are around 6,000 living languages in the world — and at least half of these are in danger. In every part of the world, languages are disappearing. In fact, one scientist has said that languages are in more danger of extinction than birds or mammals. Professor Steve Sutherland of the University of East Anglia says that in the past 500 years 4.5 percent of languages have died out — compared with 1.3 percent of birds, and 1.9 percent of mammals. ‎ Languages come and go, and thousands have done exactly that without leaving any trace (痕迹). Only a very few — Basque, Greek and Latin among them — have lasted more than 2,000 years. But it seems that the pace of their disappearance is becoming quicker.‎ The Ethnologue, a database of all the languages spoken in the world, states that 417 languages are spoken by so few people that they are in the final stages of becoming extinct. If very few people speak a language, it will probably die out.‎ Languages may be lost through migration (迁移), as people move from small towns to city centers, or when environments are destroyed by the search for oil or wood. Natural disasters can also devastate populations, and along with them, their language. Governments also play a role in the extinction of languages. The need to establish “official languages”, for a country to educate its children and carry out its business, had a disastrous effect on many small languages.‎ ‎ What is lost if a language is lost? Some people argue that languages die as the human race develops. Obviously there could be great benefits if everyone in the world spoke the same language — some industries already reflect this, with English essential for pilots and air traffic controllers. But there are more important things than convenience. As languages are lost, whole ways of life and knowledge may be lost along with them.‎ To put it simply, language expresses something about identity, about our place in the world. Ani Rauhihi, a Maori teacher in New Zealand's North Island, sums it up: “If you grow up speaking our language, you won't know who you are.”‎ 47. The numbers mentioned in the first paragraph suggest that _____.‎ A. languages are in great danger of extinction. B. most languages have died out completely. C. animals are disappearing faster than languages. D. languages are disappearing slower than before.‎ ‎48. The underlined word “devastate” can best be replaced by “_____”.‎ A. increase B. control C. destroy D. improve ‎49. If a language is lost, _____.‎ A. there will be great trouble B. there is no need to worry about it C. its culture and knowledge will also be lost D. people will be able to communicate with others conveniently ‎50. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. Languages reflect our identity. B. People will speak the same language one day. C. Fewer people will remember their own languages. D. Ani Rauhihi cares less about languages dying out.‎ 第二节：（每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 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。‎ Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance.But in fact, a lot of guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror. They care just as much as girls do about their body image.‎ Body image is a person's opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance.    51    .You appreciate your body for its capabilities(能力) and accept its imperfections.‎ ‎   52    Here are some ideas：‎ Recognize your strengths.Different body types are good for different things. What does your body do well? Maybe your speed, strength, or coordination (协调性) makes you better than others at a certain sport.
