The museums construction first began in 1953, totaling 1，000 square meters. It systematically (系统地) introduces the life, environment and conditions of the Peking Man who existed 600，000 years ago, the Xindong Man of 100，000 years ago and the Upper Cave Man of 18，000 years ago.In 1929, Chinese palaeoanthropologist Pei Wenzhong unearthed the first complete fossilized (石化) skull from the Peking Man in Longgu Mountain a discovery that shook the world. In 1936, anthropologist Jia Lanpo discovered another three fossilized skulls of the Upper Cave Man. In the late 1960s, the Xindong Man relics that existed 100，000 years ago were excavated (发掘) in the same place. The series of important discoveries provided an important materials for the research of the origin of mankind. Zhoukoudian was listed in the Protected Cultural Relics by the State Council of China and World Cultural Heritage (遗产) by UNESCO.The front of the exhibition hall is a model of Longgu Mountain, with stone specimens dating back to 100 to 400 million years in the Zhoukoudian area in the display cabinets, reflecting the geological changes in history. The models of the fossilized skulls, the fire relics and various stone tools of the Peking Man are exhibited in the No.1 Hall. The restored cave of the Upper Cave Man is in the No.2 Hall. The No.3 Hall contains a necklace made by the Upper Cave Man as well as a model of the distribution of amniotes fossils and the habitants of the ancient people. In the No.4 Hall are fossils of the ancient people found both in China and all over the world at different periods, stone tools and drawings, paintings and other artworks of the Paleolithic Period (旧石器时代)21When you visit the Zhoukoudian Relics Museum of palaeoanthropology, you will know about _Awhat was the life of the Peking Man likeBwhat happened 600，000 years agoCthe Xindong Man existed earlier than the Peking ManDthe Peking Man was more developed than the Upper Cave Man22Which of the following is TRUE?AThe Peking Man lived before the Xindong Man.BThe Xindong Man relics was discovered earlier than the Upper Cave Man.CThe discovery of the three fossilized skulls of the Upper Cave Man shook the world.DIt is Jia Lanpo who discovered the Xindong Man relics.23Zhoukoudian was listed in the Protected Cultural Relics by the State Council of China and World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO because _.Athe people living there tens of millions of years ago were the oldest in the worldBthe people living there were the only ones living in China tens of millions of years agoCthe discoveries found there are still very important for research nowadaysDno Paleolithic relics were found in other places in China24The article is mostly _Aa news report by a journalist after interviewing anthropologistsBan introduction to the Zhoukoudian Relics Museum of palaeoanthropologyCin a text book written for studentsDa research report made by anthropologistsBLao Zi, also Li Dan by name, lived in late Spring and Autumn Period. He was from the state of Chu. He was a knowledgeable person that even the great Confucius had once consulted (咨询) him on things that he couldnt understand as a young man. Lao Zi wrote the book DaoDeJing, the classic for Daoism.“Dao” is the core (核心) of Lao Zis philosophy. “Dao” in its original meaning, is a road that leads to all directions. Lao Zi gave a new meaning to it. By the word Dao, he means it is the basic element (元素，成分) or root that can give birth to all things, and at the same time, it is independent of all other things.Lao Zi believed that things are established in their antithetical (对立的) relationship. We can see the positive (积极的) side of the things and at the same time, we should also see the negative (消极的) side of them. When the opposite side develops to the extreme, it will have to turn to the other side. When things reach their prime (鼎盛时期), they have to decline.He also believed that quantity changes could lead to quality changes. For example, a small seed could grow into a tall tree. He encouraged people that continued efforts will eventually bring about success.Lao Zi was against wars and over taxation (征税) from the ruling class. His Utopia (理想国) is: a small state with a small population. Everything would be so convenient that people could go about their life without the need for carriages and boats. People eat well and dress finely. Two states could be very near that each could hear the noise from the other side, but never in their life should they have the necessity of exchange with each other. Theres not even the need for writings.Lao Zis philosophy later had a great influence on later philosophers.25Confucius had once consulted Lao Zi on things, which showed that Lao Zi _Awas famousBwas hardworkingCknew a lot Dliked to help others26Lao Zi thought “Dao” _Ais the root of all thingsBis the end of all thingsConly means a road Dmeans nothing27Which of the following can be the belief of Lao Zi?AWhen misfortune reaches the limit, good fortune is at hand.BA bad thing never dies.CA close mouth catches no flies.DActions speak louder than words.28Which of the following ideas is Lao Zi for?APeople dress well in a big country with a small population.BPeople dress well in a small country with a large population.CPeople dress well in a small country with a small population.DPeople are taxed by the ruling class.CYou always have to understand what you are good at, and what you are not good at. Or if you are interested in something you always have to master it first.When I was ten, I came over to my cousins house, and that was pain because he lived in New York and I lived in Miami. So I came over every summer break by myself, of course I had my parents permission to go that far.One day, we decided to head to the forest. I was looking forward to this trip because I knew that my cousin was an expert on tree climbing while I was not. So, as we walked closer and closer to the forest, I became_jealous_because I did not possess the ability to climb trees. When he started climbing a tree I was upset but I joined him hoping not to break my neck. Last summer break he invited me to his house. I was afraid of climbing to the tree so I gave up. But this time I tried climbing the tree. While I was climbing I was so scared like I was about to die at any moment. But when I was about to climb on the other branch I lost my balance. Luckily I got hold on one of the bottom branches. My cousin suddenly started climbing down and tried to help me. After he put me on the ground, he ran to get some help. The pain was just killing me, I lost a lot of blood and I knew that I have to be awake to survive.Finally, my cousin brought the help. When I waked up I was happy that I did not die. It was pretty insane what happened to me.29The text is mainly about_.Amy cousinBhow to learn to climb a treeCan impressive experienceDhow to avoid being hurt when climbing30Which of the following statements was NOT mentioned in the passage?AThe authors cousin was skillful at tree climbing.BAfter falling off, the author lay on the ground.CThe author would see his cousin every summer vacation.DIt was the first time for the author to climb the tree.31The underlined word“jealous”in paragraph 3 means “_”A嫉妒的B害怕的C激动的D紧张的32We can learn from the passage that _AThe author would learn how to climb the tree after recoveringBYou can do anything well if you are interested in itCYou should know yourself well first and do what you canDThe author could go out without his parents permissionDDo you know how to prepare for and survive a major earthquake? According to Department of Conservation scientists, it is important to have the right answer to that question.How to Be PreparedElectricity, water, gas (煤气) and telephones may not be working after an earthquake. The police and fire departments are likely to be tied up. You should be prepared to fend_for yourself for at least three days, preferably for a week. Youll need food, water and so on. Its also a good idea to decide ahead of time how and where your family will reunite if separated during a quake. You might choose an outofthearea friend or relative that family members can call to check on you._If youre indoors, stay there. Get under a desk or table. The kitchen is a particularly dangerous spot. If youre in an office building, stay away from windows and outside walls and do not use the elevator. If youre outside, get into the open. Stay clear of buildings, power lines or anything else that could fall on you. If youre driving, move the car out of traffic and stop. Avoid parking under or on bridges or overpasses.After an EarthquakeCheck for fire. If you smell gas, shut off the main gas valve (阀). If theres sign of damage to electrical wiring, shut off the power at the control box. If the phone is working, only use it in case of emergency (紧急情况). Avoid driving if possible to keep the streets clear for emergency vehicles. Be careful that things may fall out of cupboards when the door is opened, and also that chimneys can be weakened and fall with just a touch. Listen to the radio for important information and instructions. Remember that aftershocks, sometimes large enough to cause damage in their own right, generally follow large quakes. If you leave home, leave a message telling your friends and family your location.33The underlined phrase “fend for” in the second paragraph probably means “_”Alook for Btake care ofCbe proud of Dthink of34Which of the following would be the best subtitle for the third paragraph?ABefore an EarthquakeBAfter Making PreparationsCWhile Staying at HomeDDuring an Earthquake35According to the passage, why doesnt the author advise driving after an earthquake?ABecause it is dangerous to drive as there will be aftershocks.BBecause your car will be easily damaged in the streets full of blocks.CBecause you should make way for emergency vehicles.DBecause you cant find a place to park your car.第二节（共5小题；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。Do You Have the Time? In English, this question has two different meanings. The first one is “Do you know what time it is？” While commonly, this is less frequently used than the simpler question with the same meaning “What time is it？” The other is “Do you have the time (e.g. to do this or that)？” This is a very commonly asked question, whether in American, British, or Australian English. I think the response “I dont have the time” is most commonly used year after year. 36._Think about how often you (and I) have used this as an explanation of why we couldnt do something, take on a new task, help someone, visit someone, etc. Sometimes its a statement of fact, and sometimes its just an excuse. 37._ However, deep down we each have a pretty clear idea of the difference. In practical terms, the lack of available time seems to be and often is a true reason for why we cannot take something on. 38._ “I just dont have the time” is too often an escape. Once we get to a certain age, when we are generally considered to be grownups, we are expected to have developed time management skills. In many instances, “I dont have the time” has the same meaning as “I am not willing to make the time”. Sure, were all busy, but in the end, its a matter of which is more important.39_ It doesnt grow on trees or fall from the sky like raindrops. You make the time as well as most of the related decisions about what is important. 40._ If you dont decide on the use of your time, the decision will be taken away from you. Its really up to us to decide on how to balance and manage time, and thats a challenge.ANo one gives you the time.BAfter all, its so convenient as an excuse.CThe key is what criteria you rely on to make decisions.DThe distinction here between them is blurry (模糊不清的) and subjective.EBe aware its the worlds most common excuse, whether you speak it out or not.FBut it does mean we need to develop a clear approach to time management.GActually if we try to rearrange our time, or make a sacrifice, we can make it.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分50分）第一节 完形填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）I often wondered why the people of Pompeii did not run away before the Volcano erupted.
