We use the word “heritage” in many different ways. People talk about their family heritage, city heritage and national heritage.Today, heritage is changing. The Internet connects people around the world. In many ways this is a good thing, because we can learn about the heritage of other countries, and we can show our own heritage to the world. However, some people worry that traditional heritage is disappearing. In many ways, countries are becoming more and more alike(相似的).In most countries around the world, you can find KFC. Nike shoes, Starbucks coffee. American movies and so on. Some people think this is a good change, and others dont like it. You can decide whether or not its a good thing.However, everyone wants to protect traditional heritage, and sometimes this is hard. For example, when a new KFC opens in your city, a traditional restaurant might have to close.That is why heritage protection is so important. Heritage protection is a simple thought. It means keeping your countrys or your citys heritage alive. People do this in many ways. The biggest part of heritage protection is probably preserving (保护)old buildings. Some suggestions of heritage protection are making sure your kids speak your traditional language, and teaching knowledge about heritage to them.The world is changing. No matter how it changes, never forget the heritage of our parents and grandparents. 请根据短文内容，选择最佳选项。（1）Is the heritage nowadays the same as it used to be? A . No. Its being changed by the InternetB .

Maybe you have heard about the way bees dance around to send messages to each other and the way dogs bark in different ways to give warnings, to be friendly or to be playful. But did you know about infrasonic communication used by elephants? This is how it works:Humans hear low sounds like thunder rumbling in the sky. But we dont hear sounds lower than this. However, animals such as elephants and hippos can hear much lower sounds than humans can. And whats more, they can make those low sounds as well, and they use them to communicate with each other. This is known as infrasound.The amazing thing about infrasound is that it travels over several kilometers. Higher-level sounds like the one people can hear, dont travel well through walls, leaves, trees and so on, which is why we cant hear sounds from more than 100 meters away. But infrasound is much stronger and things like grass and trees have no influence on it. Therefore, it can travel much further. Elephants can hear infrasonic calls from four kilometers away!There have been reports of people watching groups of elephants feeding or resting and then the elephants suddenly all stopped what they were doing for no reason at all. They obviously heard a warning call from a long way away, but the people didnt hear a sound. In places like a zoo or wildlife park where you can get nearer to animals, it is a bit easier to sense when infrasonic sounds are made. When you stand near mother elephants with their babies in a zoo, you may notice a slight rumbling in the air every few minutesnot loud or strong, but clearly noticed. This is infrasonic communicationthe mother elephants “talking” to their babies.（1）Why does the writer mention bees and dogs in Paragraph1? A . Because they use infrasonic communication.B . Because they communicate like the elephants.C . Because they are examples of animal communication.D . Because people want to learn how they communicate.（2）Which of the following is TRUE about infrasound? A . Humans can hear infrasound easily.B . It travels nearly several kilometers.C . It sounds low but cant travel very far.D . It travels well through walls, leaves and so on.（3）In places like zoos, _. A . elephants dont need to make infrasonic soundsB . it is easier for elephants to make infrasonic soundsC . mother elephants dont let people stand near their babiesD . humans can easily sense infrasonic sounds when they are made（4）Which would be the best title for the passage? A . Talking to humansB . Talking to animalsC . Playing with humansD . Playing with elephants22. （25分）任务型阅读 In northern Scotland there is a long, deep lake called Loch Ness. More than 200 meters deep, it is the largest lake in the UK. People say a big monster(怪兽)lives in its dark, cold waters. 1t weighs more than 1,000 kilos and is at least ten meters long. Some people say it has a head like a horse. Others say it looks like a snake. Many people travel to loch Ness to look for this strange monster, but only a few people have seen it. At least, they say they have seen it. The Loch Ness Monster is a famous legend(传说). The first story about a monster in loch Ness was told over 500 years ago, but the legend of the monster spread widely only in the twenties century. In 1933, a husband and wife reported that they saw a big monster in Loch Ness. Several people had taken photos, but at least one of them was a hoax. During the 1960s, a team was formed to look for the monster. They took many, but they were never able to find a monster, photos and made movies.There is no real fact that a monster lives in Loch Ness, but there is also no fact that one doesnt live. One thing is true about loch Ness: there are a lot of tourists there.根据短文内容，回答下列问题。（1）Where is Loch Ness? （2）What do people say about the monsters head in Loch Ness? （3）When was the first story about the monster told? （4）Why was a team formed during the 1960s? （5）What is the passage mainly about? 23. （10分）阅读下列短文，从各题所给的四个选项（A B C D）中，选出最佳选项。BDo you shop online with websites like Taobao? The money you pay doesnt go directly to the seller. Instead, it goes through Alipay, which keeps your money for a while. After you receive your goods and click the confirm receipt button, Alipay then gives the money to the seller.The process is called third party online payment. There is a transfer station, or a third account, between sellers and buyers to make online shopping safe. Buyers dont need to worry about paying for goods and then receiving nothing. Sellers also get rid of the risk of receiving no money after sending out goods.These transfer stations are usually set up by payment service companies such as Alipay, Tenpay and Yeepay. Among them, Alipay is the biggest in China. It has more than 270 million active users, according to Xinhua.While most online sellers and shoppers like the third party online payment system, banks are not very happy. That is because companies like Alipay are fighting over money with the banks. Users can invest in financial products through Alipay and make money. Thus lots of people choose to put money in Alipay rather than in banks.But WeChat payment is not the same. WeChat doesnt have its own account. When paying through WeChat, the buyers money goes directly to the sellers. Thats why so many people are excited about receiving and handing out red envelopes or gift money to their friends on WeChat.Whether Alipay or WeChat payment, they are all trying to attract more users and make online shopping easier. These two companies are also promoting payments through fingerprints. New payment methods such as quick response codes have become popular too.（1）How many ways to pay are mentioned in the passage? A . 2B . 3C . 4D . 5（2）Para land 2 mainly want to introduce how _. A . to run a Taobao shopB . to make your money safeC . Alipay worksD . to make money by using Alipay（3）According to the passage, we can imagine_ in the future. A . real money will not be usedB . payment through fingerprints will be popularC . third party online payment is sure to avoid all the risks in tradeD . Alipay will take the place of banks（4）According to the passage, which of the following is not referred to? A . New payment methods make our life easierB . Putting money in Alipay is a good way to make moneyC . Banks are angry about losing some customers.D . Quick response codes are more popular than any other methods.（5）What does the passage mainly talk about? A . Using new technologies to do online shoppingB . Some ways to pay in our daily lifeC . The advantage of third party online paymentD . It is convenient to do shopping online using Alipay and WeChat七、 词汇运用 (共2题；共8分)24. （7分）选词填空die hope safe sleep proper govern color（1
