9、 after-Sir Clement C. Knolly, Acting Governor of Trinidad. It linked Rio Claro with Port of Spain. Its architecture is still admired and studied today, and many are amazed that Knollys Tunnel has stood up to the earths movement over so many years.Much research is being done on the tunnel. At the top
10、 of Knollys Tunnel are cottages covered with leaves, where visitors can sit and enjoy the beauty of nature. Standing at the beginning of Knollys Tunnel, you can see nothing but the tiny light at the end. The train tracks have been removed and replaced with small stones. Visitors can drive through th
11、e tunnel or walk through, but should do so in groups for safety. In the old days, there were no lights, but now there are street lights on the way to the tunnel, though not inside.On your way in, you may notice some manholes on the walls of the tunnel. These were there for individuals to step into f
12、or safety as the train passed. Knollys Tunnel can be accessed through Tabaquite and through Mitchell Gap. The road was recently improved, but is better when you enter from Tabaquite, and there are signs on the road directing you to Knollys Tunnel.On the drive to Knollys Tunnel there are two other co
13、ttages where visitors can sit and just enjoy nature. At the site itself, there is nothing to purchase to eat or drink, but in Tabaquite there are several bars, a restaurant, and food outlets. A gas station and a health centre are also close by.For those who admire architecture, Knollys Tunnel is a m
14、ust-see when visiting Trinidad.

A. a geography textbook B. a travel journal C. a sports report D. a health and fitness magazineCBlue Plan
17、et IIs latest episode focuses on how plastic is having a disastrous effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning
18、 in plastic.Though it seems now that the world couldnt possibly function without plastics, consumerplastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s; the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has
19、 happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.We put all these plastics into the environment and we still dont really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean
20、plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of
21、 seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.And its not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a
22、disaster, worth mentioning to the same degree as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we dont have to remake our planet energy system.This is not a problem where we dont know what
23、 the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to dispose (处理) of it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single-use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag-when taken collec
24、tively, these choices really do make a difference.8. Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science? A. The plastics pollution research is too difficult. B. Plastics have produced less pollution than coal. C. The world couldnt possibly function without plastics. D. Plastics have gaine
25、d in popularity too fast for science to catch up.9. How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?A. By statistics.B. By quotations from leading experts.C. By using examples from his own experience.D. By comparison and contrast.10. What can we infer about climate change?A. Climate change is

Ocean plastic is more complicated than climate change.11. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Ocean plastic is a global issue.B. The oceans become choked w
27、ith plastic.C. Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken.D. Plastics gain in popularity all over the worldDMaths and MusicAn excellent way to kill a conversation is to say you are a mathematician. Tell others you are also a musician, however, and they will be hooked. Although there are obvious sim
28、ilarities between mathematical and musical activity, there is no direct evidence for the kind of magical connection many people seem to believe in.Im partly referring here to the “Mozart effect”, where children who have been playing Mozart compositions are supposedly more intelligent, including at m
29、aths, than other children. It is not hard to see why such a theory would be popular: we would all like to become better at maths without putting in any effort. But the conclusions of the experiment that expressed the belief in the Mozart effect were much more modest. If you want your brain to work b
30、etter, you clearly have to put in hard work. As for learning to play the piano, it also takes effort.Surely a connection is quite reasonable. Both maths and music deal with abstract structures, so if you become good at one, then it is likely that you become good at something more general that helps
31、you with the other. If this is correct, it would show a connection between mathematical and musical ability. It would be more like the connection between abilities at football and tennis. To become better at one, you need to improve your fitness and coordination (协调). That makes you better at sport
32、and probably helps with the other.Abstract structures dont exist only in maths and music. If you learn a language then you need to understand its abstract structures like grammar. Yet we dont hear people asking about a connection between mathematical and linguistic (语言的) ability. Maybe this is becau
33、se grammar feels mathematical, so it wouldnt be surprising that mathematicians were better at learning grammar. Music, however, is strongly tied up with feelings and can be enjoyed even by people who know little about it. As such, it seems different from maths, so there wouldnt be any connection bet
34、ween the two.Lets see how we solve problems of the “A is to B as C is to D” kind. These appear in intelligence tests but they are also important to both music and maths. Consider the opening of Mozarts Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (小夜曲). The second phrase (小节) is a clear answer to the first. The listener
35、thinks: “The first phrase goes upward and uses the notes of a G major chord (和弦); what would be the corresponding phrase that goes downward and uses the notes of a D7?” Music is full of puzzles like this. If you are good at them, expectations will constantly be set up in your mind. The best moments
36、surprise you by being unexpected, but we need the expectations in the first place.12. What does the author say about “Mozart effect”？A. The goal of it was not carefully thought about.B. The findings from it gave people wrong information.C. The interest people showed in it was unexpected.D. The way i
37、t was carried out proved to be ineffective.13. The author mentioned football and tennis in Paragraph 3 to show that _.A. football and tennis are played in a similar way.B. certain skills may be developed through practice.C. music and maths have something in common.D. abstract structures bring benefi
38、ts to various fields.14. We can infer from Paragraph 4 that _. A. language seems more like maths than music does.B. language is less appealing to learners.C. mathematicians are good at music learning.D. the structure of language is easier to learn than that of music.15. What does the writer intend t
39、o state in the last paragraph?A. How music differs from maths.B. Why musicians possess mathematical abilities.C. Why Mozart is so highly considered by mathematicians.D. How abstract thinking applies to both music and maths.第二节 （共5小题：每小题3分，满分15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。 If you sat u

Your teachers voice might begin to sound like a lullaby（催眠曲）. 16 To keep yourself awake, some tips are worth trying in class.Sit in the front of the room. Why? 17 Besides, itll be easier to pay attention
41、and participate when youre in the front. Youll also be near the people who are more likely to participate, and the sound of their voices might keep you awake. 18 Ask and answer questions and pay attention to the lecture. This will help if youre tired or discouraged by the content of the lecture, bec
42、ause you can ask your teacher questions to get to the bottom of the problems. Talking will also keep you engaged and alert.
