2．In the middle of the Pacific Ocean lies a tiny，remote island whose most famous residents stand guard along the edges of the rocky land.These legendary islanders are actually massive stone statues called moai.There are more than 800 of them on Easter Island.
Carved by the Rapa Nui people，the sculptures—known for their oversized heads—represent Rapa Nui ancestors，and they are considered sacred by descendants of the ancient civilization who still live on the island today.
However，a few of the moai are missing from their native home.One statue has been on display at the British Museum in London，England，for about 150 years and is one of the institution's most popular exhibits.
But that may not be the case for much longer.Rapa Nui leaders recently announced that they want the statue back.Their request is not unique.A great many museums around the world are facing similar pressure to return historical objects to their homelands.
The issue has raised a debate：Do ancient artifacts belong in the places they came from or should they be displayed in popular museums where millions of people can appreciate them？
Last year，F(xiàn)rance's President Emmanuel Macron called for thousands of artworks in French museums to be returned to the countries in Africa from which they were taken without permission.
But many experts believe certain artifacts should remain in museums，which are more accessible for people.That's one reason officials at the British Museum believe they should keep Hoa Hakananai'a，saying roughly 6 million people visit the British Museum annually—many to see the moai Meanwhile，only about 100，000 people tour the remote stretch of land each year.
Many experts also say that fragile ancient treasures are safer in museums.On Easter Island，for example，several of the moai are worsening because of centuries of rain and winds or harmed by tourists who touch them while taking selfies.
Still，most present-day Rapa Nui people believe Hoa Hakananai'a was sjye.ailen.To them，the statue is an important part of the is land's history that should be returned.
（1）According to the passage，moai are.
A．They are guards to protect the island.
B．They represent leaders on Easter Island.
C．They trace history back to 150 years ago.
D．They connect Rapa Nui and their ancestors.
（2）What is the attitude of France's president to the return of artworks？
A．Doubtful.
B．Supportive.
C．Neutral
D．Opposed.
（3）Which of the following would the British Museum officials agree？
A．Ancient artifacts should be returned to their countries of origin.
B．Hoa Hakananai'a was not stolen but discovered by explorers.
C．Museums offer most people the chance to see famous artworks in person.
D．The oversized heads of Hoa Hakananai'a are the symbol of the civilization.
（4）What can we learn from the passage？
A．Stone statues like moai can be restored better indoors.
B．Hoa Hakananai'a is the best exhibit at the British Museum.
C．Tourists are to blame for the damage of all ancient treasures.
D．The return of ancient artworks is being requested globally.組卷：3引用：2難度：0.3 -
3． Slowness has been a sweeping trend in sustainability.Slow food celebrates local produce and traditional cooking methods；slow fashion is made with a focus on people and the planet.You may have even heard of the slow city，a campaign to restore local cultures and turn cities back to their natural environments.
Slow design developed from the larger slow movement.Although the term was only recently introduced，the idea of thoughtful design looks back to a time when buildings and furniture were made with great craftsmanship and by hand-before the mass-produced throwaway furniture took over.You can think of the term"slow"as a celebration of timelessness：both the timelessness of a piece and the timelessness of the relationship between that piece and its owner.
One example of slow design today is what's been dubbed the brown furniture revival.Brown furniture refers to the heavy wooden furnishings that were popular in your grandparents' day but suddenly fell out of style at the turn of the century.Brown furniture is often associated with dark woods，such as trees like mahogany，walnut，and teak，that take decades to reach maturity and true craftsmanship to transform into functional pieces.
Today's furniture industry is dominated by the ﹩13.1 billion-and-growing global ready-to-assemble （RTA） furniture market.RTA furniture is usually constructed from low-quality fiberboard，which lasts a small part of traditional furniture's lifespan （壽命）.The weight of furniture landfilled in 2018 was 9.7 million tons，4.5 times what was landfilled in 1960.
In a less direct way，the idea of timelessness also lends itself to a lower environmental impact.Besides their demonstrated physical durability，slow materials and design are meant to outlive trends and never be thrown out simply because they're out of style.
As second-hand shopping becomes more appealing to today's young generation-because of its low environmental impact and affordability-the brown furniture of yesteryear is making a comeback.
（1）What is the intention of the first paragraph？
A．To explain a new term.
B．To present the topic of the text.
C．To provide background information.
D．To highlight the importance of slowness.
（2）What does the underlined word"dubbed"mean in paragraph 3？
A．Known as.
B．Mistaken for.
C．Compared to.
D．Connected with.
（3）What can be inferred about RTA furniture？
A．It is out of date.
B．It has a long lifespan.
C．It is heavy and expensive
D．It has bad effects on the environment.
（4）What is good news for the brown furniture revival？
A．Grandparents are be ring new furniture.
B．The brown furniture will soon be mass-produced.
C．The young generation favors second-hand shopping.
D．Materials for slow design furniture are more available.組卷：4引用：3難度：0.5

Hector stood in the front of his fifth-grade classroom as one of the last two competitors in the Room Five Geography Bee.His opponent having missed the last question，it was Hector's turn.If he answered his question correctly，he would be the Room Five champion.
"Where did I put that second sheet of questions？" Mr.Adler whispered while searching through a thick pile of papers on his messy desk.Mr.Adler，though a great teacher，had a reputation of being disorganized with a long history of misplacing things. "Oh well，I apologize for the delay." said Mr.Adler after what seemed like a long time. "Hector，please tell us the capital city of Brazil." Hearing the question，Hector smiled.Then，there was the answer.
Later that day in the courtyard，many classmates congratulated Hector.Wearing a proud smile，he greeted and thanked them all.Oh，the sweet taste of victory.
As it was getting late，the courtyard became deserted.But Hector still didn't want to leave.Then he saw Mr.Adler crossing the courtyard and holding a half-open bag full of papers.As he hurried past，an envelope dropped out but Mr.Adler was unaware，turned a corner and disappeared out of sight.Hector picked it up.On the envelope were the words "Fifth Grade Geography Bee Questions and Answers".Hector stared wide-eyed at the envelope.Before he even had time to reflect on the consequences，he opened it and read the questions.
As soon as Hector had done it，he knew it was the wrong choice.He'd cheated and whatever he did now，he couldn't change the fact. "What if Mr.Adler thought I stole this morning's questions too？" Hector thought. "He'd take away my Room Five victory for sure." Little did he know that one of the best days in his life would be turned into the worst so quickly.Torn by his conscience，Hector was totally at a loss what to do.
注意：
（1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
（2）請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
Before he realized it，Hector found himself standing in Mr.Adler's room.
