2．Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are，like a nearby port or river.People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade.New York City，for example，is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River.Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million.But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time.Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight.In 1896，Dawson，Canada，was unmapped wilderness（荒野）.But gold was discovered there in 1897，and two years later，it was one of the largest cities in the West，with a population of 30，000.
Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris.People went there for gold.They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers.The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming.An avalanche（雪崩） once closed the path，killing 63 people.For many who made it to Dawson，however，the rewards were worth the difficult trip.Of the first 20，000 people who dug for gold，4，000 got rich.About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.
But no matter how rich they were，Dawson was never comfortable.Necessities like food and wood were very expensive.But soon，the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found.The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down，and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska，they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come.Today，people still come and go - to see where the Canadian gold rush happened.Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City - its present population is 762.

（3）What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson？
A．They found the city too crowded.

C．They were unable to stand the winter.
D．They were short of food.
（4）What is the text mainly about？

3．While famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts，many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage．
Their efforts have been proven fruitful．Wang Shu，a 49-year-old Chinese architect，won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize - which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture - on February =28．He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award．
Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art （CAA）．His office is located at the Xiangshan campus（校園） of the university in Hangzhou，Zhejiang Province．Many buildings on the campus are his original creations．
The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities．Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types．The curves（曲線） of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills，forming a unique view．
Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages．He asked the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls，roofs and corridors（走廊）．This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements（元素）．
Wang's works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions．Through such a balance，he had created a new type of Chinese architecture，said Tadao Ando，the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize．
Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums． "That is only evidence that traditions once existed，" he said．
"Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions．They think tradition means old things from the past．In fact，tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created， " he said．
"Today，many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions．Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are， " said Wang．
The study of traditions should be combined with practice．Otherwise，the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty，he said．
（1）Wang's winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are．
A．following the latest world trend
B．getting international recognition
C．working harder than ever before
D．relying on foreign architects
（2）What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most？
A．Its hilly environment．
B．Its large size．
C．Its unique style．
D．Its diverse functions．
（3）What made Wang's architectural design a success？
A．The mixture of different shapes．
B．The balance of East and West．
C．The use of popular techniques．
D．The harmony of old and new．
（4）What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang？
A．Spread them to the world．
B．Preserve them at museums．
C．Teach them in universities．
D．Recreate them in practice．組卷：6引用：6難度：0.5

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落的開頭語續(xù)寫一段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
It was the first day of our new grade.Everyone in the classroom was chatting（聊天）happily，excited to see each other again after the long holidays.When the door slid open，all of us stopped talking and turned to look.In came our teacher Ms.Sullivan，followed by an ordinary-looking（相貌平平的） boy，"This boy's name is Rafael." Ms.Sullivan announced. "He's a transfer student（轉(zhuǎn)校生），and he's going to be in our class starting from today.Make sure all of you welcome him warmly."
The class clapped（鼓掌）.But I didn't want to have a second look at the newcomer，for he had no outstanding qualities considering his small figure（身材） and casual T-shirt.
"Oh，I forgot to mention one thing." Ms.Sullivan spoke up. "Rafael actually has hearing problems.Normally he would have hearing aids（助聽器）on，but his old ones have just been broken.His doctor suggested that he stay at home until he got his new ones.However，Rafael insisted on（堅持）attending his first day of school.So if you want to communicate with him，you have to write it on a piece of paper."
This single speech sent the whole class up into an uproar（嘈雜）.Some students looked at each other with expressions of surprise.Others voiced cries of concern out of pity.
Ms.Sullivan calmed everyone down. "I'd like someone to personally help him out throughout the day.Do I have any volunteers？"
"How can a disabled person be intelligent？" I thought to myself.I refused to raise my hand，expecting someone else would.But nobody did or said anything.Dead silence spread across the classroom.
It was by total bad luck that my eyes happened to meet Ms.Sullivan's.
"How about you，James？" She asked me. "Is it okay for you to take care of Rafael just for today？"
It is difficult to refuse a request by someone，especially if that person is a teacher.I sighed（嘆氣） and nodded slightly.Ms.Sullivan gestured for Rafael to sit beside me and then asked us to share our holiday stories with the class.
注意：
1.所續(xù)寫的短文詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
2.續(xù)寫部分分為兩段，每段的開頭語已經(jīng)為你寫好。
Paragraph 1：
Immediately，the class became excited.---------
Paragraph 2：
Then Rafael rose and walked onto the platform.------------組卷：1引用：2難度：0.6
