1．Imagine mountains enveloped in silver water，shining in the spring sun.Summer sees the mountains turn bright green with growing rice.During autumn，these mountains are gold，and in winter they are covered with white frost.（1）
These terraces（梯田） were built by the local Zhuang and Yao people.Starting in the Yuan Dynasty，work on the terraces took hundreds of years.（2）Reaching as far as the eye can see，these terraces cover tall mountains，often from the bottom to the very top.
（3）Firstly，there are few large flat areas of land in the region.Building the terraces could increase the areas to grow rice.Secondly，although the region has plenty of rain，the mountains are steep（陡峭） and the soil is shallow，The fat terraces help catch the rainwater and prevent the soil from being washed away.
But perhaps the most important is the way people have worked in peace with nature.The terraces are cleverly designed，with hundreds of waterways connecting with each other.During the rainy season.rainwater moves down the mountains and into the terraces along these waterways.The sun heats the water and turns it into vapour（水蒸氣）.（4）These terraces also provide a perfect environment for birds and fish，some of which feed on insects harmful to crops.
Although modern technology helps produce more crops，these terraces still mean a lot to the local people for whom traditions hold much value.（5）Thus，new generations continue to use ancient methods of agriculture to maintain the terraces.Today，the Longji Rice Terraces attract thousands of visitors to admire this great wonder created by people and nature working together.
A.Terraces were built to collect the rain.
B.These are the colors of the Longji Terraces.
C.This knowledge is passed down through families.
D.It wasn't completed until the early Qing Dynasty.
E.So how did people change the entire mountains into terraces？
F.This forms clouds from which rain falls down onto the terraces again.
G.So why did these people take trouble turning the entire mountains into terraces？發(fā)布：2025/1/1 17:30:2組卷：3引用：3難度：0.5 -
2．Do you like the woolly mammoths （長毛象）from the movie Ice Age？Too bad they're extinct？Thanks to recent developments in biotechnology，the stuff of science fiction may soon become a reality through an attractive process called "de-extinction"，which aims to bring the extinct species back.The resurrected （復(fù)活的）species are functionally equal to the original extinct species，but they are not exact copies.
There are three primary techniques of de-extinction.One of them is that scientists deliberately select existing species with similar characters to the extinct species to produce later generation.This is a natural method.Another is cloning.A cloned animal is created by obtaining the DNA of the extinct animal.The later generation will be an identical copy of the extinct species.This is only applied to animals that are either endangered or have recently gone extinct，as it requires well-preserved eggs.The third is the newest technique，genetic（基因）engineering.It uses gene-editing tools to place selected genes from extinct animals in place of those present in its closest living relative.
If we refer to Jurassic Park，resurrecting extinct animals is a terrible idea.Thankfully，we don't have to worry about dinosaurs running wildly，as their DNA has disintegrated over the 65 million years since their extinction.DNA can survive for several million years at best under certain rare conditions，but does that mean we should do that？
De-extinction is more for ecology than for tourism.Ecologist Ben Novak said，"All animals perform critical roles in their ecosystem.Woolly mammoths，for example，were excellent gardeners.Their disappearance was followed by a loss in diversity and the Arctic grassland became a cold，ice field.If a resurrected animal is always going to be a zoo animal then it shouldn't be brought back."
（1）Why does the author mention the movie Ice Age？
A．To recall the joy from the movie.
B．To lead the audience into the topic.
C．To attract readers' attention to the movie.
D．To show functions of resurrecting animals.
（2）What is mainly discussed about de-extinction in Paragraph 2？
A．Its main methods.
B．Its wide application.
C．Its complex procedures.
D．Its distinct characteristic.
（3）What can replace the underlined word "disintegrated" in Paragraph 3？
A．Broken away.
B．Picked up.
C．Fallen apart.
D．Run out.
（4）What would be the best title for the text？
A．Can we bring extinct animals back？
B．Do you like the woolly mammoths？
C．Will dinosaurs be seen in the zoos？
D．Should we promote cloning skills？發(fā)布：2025/1/1 17:0:1組卷：3引用：4難度：0.5 -
3．Going to college is a new experience full of excitement of the unknown．Socialization （社交） is a big thing for college students and it is common to feel a little uncomfortable going into a situation where everyone is a stranger．You may probably miss your friends from high school．（1）
College is a great opportunity to make new lifelong friends．The question is：how？
▲Get to know your roommate．
You may find you have lots of things in common with your roommate，but even if you are completely different from each other，with a little effort and understanding the two of you may become best friends．
▲（2）
If you leave your door open，this shows that you welcome visitors．As a result people will naturally stop in and say hello．Closed doors are not likely to bring many visitors and those who stay locked up in their rooms may give others the impression of being cold．Other students will be less likely to stop in and build a new friendship．
▲Join clubs or organizations．
Getting involved in organized socialization is a great way to meet new people．（3）By staying active in college groups such as clubs and organizations you can meet lots of people with whom you share common interests．
▲Talk to classmates．
（4）Starting conversations in class is a great opportunity to meet people who are interested in the same kind of studies as you are．Short friendly discussions can build lifelong friendships．
▲Try out for a sport．
If you're athletic，trying out for a sport will do for you the same thing that joining a club will do．（5）
A．Close the door to keep away from theft．
B．Hang a welcome sign on your dorm room．
C．Your roommate is the first person you will have close contact with．
D．It also helps you get more familiar with the campus．
