It is China’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site.‎ Archaeologist Fan was sent to Dunhuang after graduating from Peking Univereity in 1963. While in Dunhuang, a remote village in the desert then, Fan lived in an abandoned temple. At first, she did not even dare to go out to the toilet at night. To protect the treasures from sand and dampness，Fan and other workers put doors on the caves, planted trees and started monitoring temperature and humidity (湿度) in the caves. They also control the number of visitors.‎ In the late 1990s, with tourism booming nationwide since national holidays were extended, the local government planned to go public with Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, but found Fan firmly in their way. “The heritage would have been destroyed if it had been listed,” she said.‎ Dunhuang academy has now photographed and cataloged online all the sculptures and paintings. “Despite our efforts to minimize damage, we can’t completely stop them from being eroded (腐蚀). But the digital database will last.”‎ Fan was grateful when her husband joined her in Dunhuang in 1986 after 19 years of separation. Her two sons grew up in Shanghai with their aunt. “I have not been a good mother or wife. With regard to my family, I’m full of guilt,” she said. Fan, 79, retired two years ago as the director of Dunhuang Academy but continues her efforts as a national political advisor.‎ ‎28. Which measures didn’t Fan Jinshi take to protect Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes?‎ A. Opened Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes to the public extensively.‎ B. Planted trees and stopped the Dunhuang Mogao being eroded.‎ C. Pictured and classified all the sculptures and paintings online.‎ D. Put doors on the caves and monitored temperature and humidity.‎ ‎29. When was Fan separated from her husband?‎ A. In 1963. B. In 1967. C. In 1986. D. In the late 1990s.‎ ‎30. The passage is mainly about .‎ A. the history of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes B. the attractions of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes C. Fan’s devotion to preserving Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes ‎ D. the appeal for the protection of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes ‎31. What kind of person do you think Fan is?‎ A. considerate and easy-going B. kind and intelligent C. humorous and sweet-tempered D. devoted and persistent D It doesn’t matter if books are delivered in print or by smart phone, and the main thing is to get lost in reading them.‎ Why should we bother reading a book? All children say this occasionally. Many adults with reading difficulties repeat it to themselves daily. In a world of accelerating technology, increasing time poverty and decreasing attention lengths, should they devote precious time sinking into a good book?‎ The discovery is that an extraordinary book has a transformative, effect on the way we view the world. This transformation only takes place when we lose ourselves in a book, abandoning the emotional and mental chat of the real world. That’s why studies have found deep reading makes us more attentive to the inner lives of others.‎ We know reading is the foundation stone of all education, and an essential strength of the knowledge economy. But perhaps even more significant is its emotional role as the starting point for individual development and pleasure. Books can open up emotional, imaginative and historical views that equal and extend the corridors (通道) of the web.‎ If reading were to decline significantly, it would change the very nature of our species. If we, in the future, are no longer wired for our own reflection and creative thought, we will be weaker. However, technology throws up solutions as many as challenges: for every door it closes, another opens. So the ability, offered by equipments like e-readers, smart phones and tablets, to carry an entire library in your hand is an amazing opportunity. We should concentrate on the message, not worried about the medium.‎ We must also get better at controlling the ability of the internet to inform readers, and potential readers, about all the new books that are published every year, and to renew their acquaintance with the best of rich literary tradition. If we stop reading, we will be different people: less complex, less interesting. There can hardly be a better reason for fighting to protect the future of the book.‎ ‎32. Why does deep reading make us more attentive to the inner lives of others?‎ A. Because we have varieties of resources of reading.‎ B. Because we are in a world of accelerating technology.‎ C. Because it will weaken the very nature of human beings.‎ D. Because an extraordinary book makes our outlook brighter.‎ ‎33. According to the text, the author thinks .‎ A. reading on the internet is more important and convenient than books B. we should focus on the means of gaining information rather than the content C. with the help of the internet, people can access the best of rich literary tradition D. the web is better at shaping emotional, imaginative and historical views than books ‎34. The underlined word “tablets” is closest to in meaning.‎ A- Pills B. pads C. forms D. desks ‎35. What is the author’s attitude towards reading?‎ A. Critical. B. Objective. C. Indifferent. D. Approving.‎ 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。‎ There is only so much time in the day. If you want to get more done, you really have two choices... Stay up late or get up early. Which are you ... an Early Bird or the Night Owl?‎ Productive birds of a feather You have the same amount of time each day as everyone else. If you want to reach your goals and dreams you have to be willing to pay the price. 36, Sometimes it is your time. Sometimes it is money. And sometimes it is sleep. One of the best times to get ahead and be “in the zone” is when everyone else is sleeping. Get up early or stay up late. Those are your choices.‎ Early birds: working before others get up ‎“I am an early bird. I often get asked when I get my writing work done. 37 I usually get up at 4 am and work until the rest of the house wakes up. I find that working first thing in the morning gets my day going. Getting a head start on the rest of the world, just feels good.”‎ Many people use the excuse that they can’t get up early. Maybe they are night owls...‎ Night owls: working with the moon Other people prefer to stay up long after the rest of the world has crashed out. 38 They may be more productive at midnight than they are at noon. Just make sure that if you stay up late, you are being productive.(Not watching mindless TV or endlessly surfing the Net.)‎ ‎39‎ It doesn’t matter which productivity bird represents your work style. 40 It depends on your environment and energy levels. Do you have the drive to get up early or stay up late? While others are dreaming, make your dreams real.‎ Ask yourself, “What do you want more than a little extra sleep?” ‎ Are you a night owl or an early bird?‎ A. They both can work.‎ B. They work by the moonlight.‎ C. Have a good sleep every day.‎ D. Work while others are sleeping E. Early birds are better than night owls.‎ F. That sacrifice often involves giving up something.‎ G. The simplest answer is that I do it before everyone else gets up.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Using public toilets in China can often be a challenging undertaking, particularly for those not practiced in the art of sitting deep. 41 researchers in China have come up with a new 42 that they say can help 43 a poisonous problem bothering China's public toilets: the overpowering odor (恶臭).‎ Unlike chemical solutions, 44 are expensive and can 45 the environment, the new biotreatment is being thought as a cost-effective way of protecting the environment to 46 75 percent of the bad smell in bathrooms, according to researchers from the Chinese Academy of ‎ Sciences.
