文章大意:这是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了美国第五大城市费城申请世界遗产城市成功,这为这个城市揭开了新的发展篇章。

2 . Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is America’s fifth largest city. Once a major American colonial city, it is the home of America’s first library, its first hospital, and its first zoo. Now it is also the first US city to be named a World Heritage City. On November 6, 2015, Philadelphia joined more than 260 other cities that have been recognized for their influence on the world. These cities include Paris, France, Florence, Italy, and Cairo, Egypt.

The exciting news was announced by Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, Deputy Mayor Alan Greenberger, responsible for economic development and business guidance, and the Global Philadelphia Association. “Today marks the start of a new and exciting chapter in the history of Philadelphia,” remarked Nutter when the announcement was made. “As a World Heritage City, Philadelphia is being officially recognized on the global stage for its wealth of contributions to the world.”

To be named a World Heritage City, a city must be home to a UNESCO World Heritage site. UNESCO World Heritage sites are selected for their universal value and significance. For Philadelphia, the site is Independence Hall.

Independence Hall is where two of the most important documents in US history — the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution — were adopted. The Declaration of Independence, approved on July 4, 1776, united the 13 former British colonies and declared them independent from British rule. From then on, a democratic and free country was born, which changed the course of world history. The US Constitution, signed in 1787, established the American democratic system of government. A democracy is a system of government in which the people elect their leaders. The Constitution later spelled out the basic freedoms American citizens have.

Greenberger says the city’s selection as a World Heritage City also reflects its educational, cultural, and economic achievements. The city is home to dozens of colleges and universities, and many museums, such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art. “Philadelphia has rightfully earned its place as one of the greatest cities in the world. As we celebrate this milestone, we will focus even more on improving Philadelphia’s status as a World Heritage City to attract more guests to visit, invest, work, study and live here.” Greenberger says.

1. We can learn from Paragraph 1 that Philadelphia ________.
A.has the best American hospitals
B.contributed a lot to the global economy
C.is known for many America’s firsts
D.has been famous as a World Heritage City
2. In Paragraph 2, Michael Nutter is mainly talking about ________.
A.the economic development of the city
B.the history of Philadelphia
C.the contributions of the city
D.the significance of the city’s selection
3. What opinion does Alan Greenberger hold?
A.The city really deserves the honor.
B.It’s easy for the city to win the honor.
C.It won’t be long before the city takes off.
D.The honor will bring the city a better future.
4. What could be the best title for the text?
A.Philadelphia Makes a DifferenceB.Philadelphia Makes History
C.Philadelphia Develops a LotD.America Wins Global Respect

This year marks the 92nd anniversary of the September 18 Incident.

On September 18, 1931, Japanese troops     1    (blow) up a section of the railway in Shenyang and accused the Chinese military of doing     2    . Using the explosion as a pretext (借口), Japanese forces attacked the Beidaying garrison (卫戍部队)and bombarded (轰炸) Shenyang on the same night,     3    (launch) a full-scale invasion (侵略) of northeast China.

The 14-year Japanese invasion resulted in over 35 million victims among Chinese troops and civilians. By commemorating the September 18 Incident, the Chinese people reaffirm (重申) their     7    (commit) to never forget this dark chapter in history and prevent it being repeated.

The commemorations serve as a reminder for the Chinese people     8    (keep) dark days in mind. History has    9     (repeat) shown that invasions and wars are rarely     10    (success), and although evidence might be covered up, justice eventually prevails (占上风).

文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了1996年爱尔兰共和军恐怖组织在曼彻斯特投下了一枚炸弹,这次事件实际上给曼彻斯特提供了一个重新发展的机会。

4 . On 15th June 1996, a huge bomb in Manchester, in the north-west of England, destroyed the city centre, causing nearly a billion pounds’ worth of damage. The bomb, which had been planted by a terrorist group called the IRA, injured over 200 people but remarkably killed no one as police had evacuated the area following a warning from the IRA.

Manchester had already undergone some changes as it recovered from the economic depression of the early 1990s that had destroyed much of its industry and created large-scale unemployment. It had won the right to host the Commonwealth Games (a large sporting event) and redeveloped some deserted areas through the building of the National Velodrome, an exhibition centre and an award-winning concert hall. However, at the time of the bombing, the city centre was still badly neglected — dominated by the Arndale Shopping Centre (once described as looking like an enormous public toilet) and squares that were run-down and affected by drug addiction. So, dreadful though the bombing was, it actually provided an opportunity to start again that might not have happened otherwise.

Within weeks of the explosion, the government had set up a public-private company to manage the recovery and launched an international competition to design the redevelopment. The winning plan involved restoring the historic buildings that had been damaged, tearing down and rebuilding some of the ugly buildings, creating new public spaces and improving life for pedestrians. Alongside this, the government reduced traffic in the centre by changing the direction of some main roads and developed an integrated public transport system, making access to the centre easier. Since these improvements, the city has attempted to boost tourism by using some of the city’s historical sites for major public events and by creating the Urbis building, which now houses the National Museum of Football. In turn, these changes have been key in attracting new investors, such as the Qatari royal family who own Manchester City Football Club.

Since 1996, the Manchester economy has grown in all areas. However, there are some concerns that inequality has also increased. Nor are all the new spaces appreciated. One new garden square designed by an international architect was rated as the worst attraction in the city. Others argue that in changing market stalls and industry for luxury consumption and glass buildings, the city has lost some of its soul.

1. What does the word “evacuate” (paragraph 1)most probably mean?
A.Looking for something in a place.B.Estimate the losses in a ruined place.
C.Remove people from a place of danger.D.Determine a numerical value of a place.
2. What does the writer say about the 1996 IRA bombing?
A.It presented an unexpected opportunity for Manchester.
B.It destroyed the city centre that used to be busy and crowded.
C.It resulted in a lot of people getting hurt or killed in Manchester.
D.It cost Manchester its chance to host the Commonwealth Games.
3. What did Manchester do for its recovery?
A.It set up Manchester City Football Club.
B.It organised an international competition to attract new investors.
C.It tore down some historical sites to make room for public events.
D.It developed a public traffic system to make the city center more accessible.
4. What is the passage mainly about?
A.Damage Manchester suffered due to the IRA bombing.
B.The IRA bombing in Manchester and its consequences.
C.Challenges related to the redevelopment of Manchester.
D.The long-term effects of the changes made in Manchester.

文章大意:这是一篇说明文。文章主要是关于19世纪英国的工厂从水力发电转向燃煤发电的原因的论证。

9 . The switch from water-powered to coal-powered factories in 19th-century Britain may be a result of droughts that made water power less reliable and coal more attractive.

Previously, it was thought that industrialists ran out of attractive places along rivers to build the waterwheels that powered many of their factories in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Past analyses of the water power available to early industrialists relied on 20th-century precipitation (降水) patterns, but these are unreliable for assessing historical water power, says Tara Jonell at the University of Glasgow in the UK.

Jonell used previous precipitation records combined with elevation (海拔) data to create a more accurate model of the flow in Britain’s rivers and streams at the time. She found that industrialists in England, Scotland and Wales had barely tapped potential water power when they made the change to coal. Concentrated development had completely filled a few places, such as regions along the River Spodden near Manchester, but overall “ there was still plenty of water power that existed”, says Jonell.

“This supports the argument that coal power was neither more plentiful nor more productive than water power at the time,” says Brett Christophers at Uppsala University in Sweden. “ It adds another nail to the coffin of the old belief.

One possibility is that a series of droughts may have made water power less reliable than coal, says Jonell. But Andreas Malm, who wasn’t involved with this work, says it is unclear whether actual droughts took place at the time. He says workers’ movements in the 1830s and 1840s may have prevented industrialists from relying on labour to make up production shortfalls that could have been driven by changing precipitation patterns. The mobility of coal was also a factor in this power change, he says. Relying on coal meant factories could be built near cheap labour or convenient transportation, instead of being limited to places along rivers.

1. What was the cause of the industrial revolution according to the previous belief?
A.The increased energy demand.
B.The insufficient water resources.
C.The lack of suitable areas for waterwheels.
D.The difficulty in building waterwheels.
2. How did Jonell get her result?
A.By analyzing previous data.
B.By comparing water and coal power.
C.By referring to other studies.
D.By remodeling precipitation patterns.
3. What does the underlined sentence imply?
A.It leads to a controversial conclusion.
B.It stresses the effect of droughts.
C.It agrees with the conventional thought.
D.It provides good evidence for the new finding.
4. What is Andreas Malm’s attitude towards droughts’ role in the power change?
A.Supportive.B.Doubtful.C.Cautious.D.Objective.
