You can pay a fortune to travel around the world. Or you can choose the places that won’t cost you a dime. Here are some places you’ll never regret visiting.

National Mall, Washington D．C．(U. S. A．)

You can walk a pathway from the Lincoln Memorial to the Washington Monument with other sights in between. Do you know you can go up in the elevator to the top of the Washington Monument? Tickets are free, but pay a small fee to reserve them in advance to avoid being disappointed.

Notre-Dame Cathedral, Paris(France)

This great treasure of the world simply can’t be missed. The great rose stained-glass window alone is worth the visit. The Sunday Mass with Gregorian chanting was like stepping back in time. Admission is free every day, but you’re welcome to leave a donation. There are also free tours a few times each week. You’ll pay extra for tours of the bell tower. Fusterlandia, Jaimanitas, Havana(Cuba)

Artist Jose Fuster left Cuba decades ago to travel in Europe and came back inspired to decorate his run-down properly in the suburbs of Jaimanitas with broken tiles(瓷砖). Eventually he covered a good portion of the neighborhood with his fantastic tile art, including bus slops, benches, front gales and more. For anyone who enjoys folk art this is a must-see, and it’s incredible that there is no entrance charge.

The British Museum, London (U. K.)

This is a place where you can immerse yourself in two million years of human history, art and culture. You need to go there to see the Egyptian mummies, the ancient Greek marbles and so many other treasures. It’s open every day and unlike most other attractions in England that cost an arm and a leg, it’s completely free.

My parents never once spoke of the stress of having to pay for college, but I knew enough to appreciate that it was there. Therefore, when my French teacher announced that she’d be leading an optional class trip to Paris over one of our breaks for those who could come up with the money to do it, I didn’t even bother to raise the issue at home.

Yet one evening my parents sat me down, looking puzzled. My mom had learned about the France trip through my friend’s mom.

“Why didn’t you tell us?” she said.

“Because it’s too much money.”

“That’s actually not for you to decide, Michelle,” my dad said gently, almost offended.

“And how are we supposed to decide, if we don’t even know about it?”

I looked at them both, unsure of what to say. My mother glanced at me, her eyes soft. My father had changed out of his work uniform and into a clean white shirt. They were in their early forties then, married nearly twenty years. Neither one of them had ever vacationed in Europe. They never took beach trips or went out to dinner. They didn’t own a house. We were their investment, me and my brother. Everything went into us.

A few months later, I boarded a flight to Paris with my teacher and a dozen or so of my classmates from Whitney Young. We would stay in a hostel, tour the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower. We’d buy snacks from stands on the street and walk along the banks of the Seine. We’d speak French like a bunch of high school kids from Chicago, but we’d at least speak French.

As the plane pulled away from its gate that day, I looked out my window and back at the airport, knowing that my mother stood somewhere behind its black-glass windows, dressed in her winter coat and waving me on. I remember all the details. I remember the jet engines firing, shockingly loud. And then we were rattling down the runway and beginning to tilt upward as the acceleration seized my chest and pressed me backward into my seat for that strange, in-between moment that comes before finally you feel lifted.

B．The sadness of leaving her mother.

C．Her nervousness about the future.

D．Her deep impression of the experience.

With red claws and face plus a large, curved black beak and crest — the crested ibis (朱鹮) is known as the beauty bird or fairy bird in China. They have existed for nearly 60 million years and were widespread in China, Korea, Japan and Russia until the 1960s when the widespread use of pesticides and fertilizers, plus a loss of Habitat, drove the birds lo near extinction. At one point, the entire species around the world was thought to be down to only six birds.

However, Liu Yinzeng, then a researcher at the Zoology Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, refused to accept what seemed to be the birds’ destiny. At 42, he headed a team setting out on a mission in 1975 to search for crested ibises in the wild in China. His team searched through mountainous areas in nine provinces over three years, yet all to no avail. Finally, in May 1981, a breakthrough came. The team found two adult crested ibises in Yang county in Shaanxi province. A week later, two other adult crested ibises with three chicks were found nesting in a tree at a farm in the same area.

Steps were taken to ensure the birds were not disturbed, with people stationed 24/7 near the tree to prevent attacks by other animals. Farmers were also banned from using fertilizers and pesticide at the nearby farm for fear of poisoning the birds. A ban was also placed on

shooting guns in case it scared the birds away.

The area where the birds were initially found became the site of the first crested ibis conservation station in China and 19 chicks were born from 1981 until 1990. A breeding program for the birds was later started in the 1990s and crested ibises began to nest in Zhejiang, Sichuan and Henan provinces. Today, some five decades later, the number of crested ibises in China has reached more than 2,600 at the last count, the Chinese state-run news agency Xinhua reported this month.

8．What can we learn about the crested ibises from the first paragraph?

A．They are the most beautiful birds in China.

B．They used to be widespread across the world.

C．Human activities put them in extreme danger.

D．Climate change made their number fall sharply.

9．What do the underlined words “to no avail” mean in paragraph 2?

A．In vain.B．With passion.C．By chance.D．Beyond control. 10．How were the crested ibises protected after they were found in the wild?

A．They were relocated to a conservation station.

B．Guns were banned to avoid illegal bird-hunting.

C．People guarded them near the tree day and night.

D．A breeding program for them began immediately.

11．Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A．The Price China Paid in Protecting Wildlife

B．China’s Roadmap to Human-Nature Harmony

C．How Chinese Scientists Found Crested Ibis

D．How China Saved Crested Ibis from Extinction

Nuclear bombs. That’s the go-to answer for incoming space objects like asteroids(小行星) and comets, as far as Hollywood is concerned. Movies like Deep Impact and Armageddon rely on nuclear weapons, delivered by stars like Bruce Willis, to save the world and deliver the drama.

But planetary defense experts say in reality, if astronomers spotted a dangerous incoming space rock, the safest and best answer might be something more subtle, like simply pushing it off course by crashing it with a small spacecraft.

That’s just what NASA did on Monday evening, when a spacecraft headed straight into an asteroid called Dimorphous, which is around 7 million miles away and poses no threat to Earth. It’s about 525 feet across and orbits another larger asteroid.

In images streamed as the impact neared, the egg-shaped asteroid grew in size from a little spot on screen to have its full rocky surface come quickly into focus before the signal went dead as the craft hit right on target.

Events happened exactly as engineers had planned, they said, with nothing going wrong. “As far as we can tell, our first planetary defense test was a success,” said Elena Adams, the mission systems engineer, who added that scientists looked on with “both terror and joy” as the spacecraft neared its final destination.

The impact was the peak of NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) ,a 7-year and more than $300 million effort which launched a space vehicle in November of 2021 to perform humanity’s first ever test of planetary defense technology. It will be about two months, scientists said, before they will be able to determine if the impact was enough to drive the asteroid slightly off course, probably shortening its original orbit.

NASA plans to launch an asteroid-hunting space telescope named NEO Surveyor in 2026. “We’ve tacked lots of space rocks, especially the larger ones that could cause extinction-level events. Thankfully, none currently threaten Earth. But many asteroids the size of Dimorphous haven’t yet been discovered, and those could potentially take out a city if they came crashing down. ” explains Lindley Johnson, NASA’s Planetary Defense Officer. 12．How did scientists know the craft hit the asteroid successfully?

A．The signal from the craft was lost as it hit the target.

B．They recorded the whole process with a telescope.

C．The little spot on the screen suddenly disappeared.

D．They monitored the craft with satellites in space.

13．What is the purpose of launching the spacecraft?

A．To search for evidence of alien life.

B．To end the asteroid’s threat to Earth.

C．To save the world and deliver a drama.

D．To test technology for defending Earth.

14．What can be inferred about Dimorphous?

A．It is a dangerous incoming space rock.

B．It is an egg-shaped asteroid around Earth.

C．It may orbit the same asteroid after the hit.

D．It is expected to blow up after the impact.

15．Which statement will Lindley Johnson probably agree with?

A．Asteroids are equally destructive whatever the size.

B．NEO Surveyor is aimed to track smaller asteroids.

C．Larger asteroids will no longer threaten Earth.

D．NASA is responsible for the safety of Earth.

二、七选五

The Problem with Online Returns

Online shopping is booming: In 2020, Americans spent $ 813 billion online, a 42% increase over 2019. This year, experts expect that figure to top $ 1 trillion for the first time. But millions of those purchases will eventually get sent back. 16 Here’s what you need to know.

When shoppers can’t physically examine products before purchase, they’re more likely to buy clothes that don’t fit or items that don’t suit their needs. People return on average about 25% of what they buy online, compared with 8% of what they buy in stores. However, many items that get returned never go back on sale. 17 About 5 billion pounds of returned goods went to landfills each year, according to logistics(物流)company Optoro.

18 When you send a product back, companies already owe you a refund, and it would cost them even more to ship it to a sorting facility and have someone evaluate whether it can be sold again. At this stage, every person that touches that item is adding cost, but the company doesn’t earn any value.

Although it’s unlikely that returned items will be sold as new, some items get sent to discount stores. 19 Other unwanted items might be sent overseas-although many could still go to the garbage eventually.

In some cases, giant companies like Amazon and Target have begun telling customers to just keep their unwanted items rather than send them back. Third-party logistics businesses have also popped up to help clean up the return process. But that’s not enough on its own.

20 If we continue to shop without thinking about the environmental impacts of our

decisions, we’ll ultimately have very unsustainable supply chains.

A．It sounds shocking, but it all boils down to cost.

B．The responsibility falls on us consumers as well.

C．Those returns can have a big environmental impact.

D．Things like electronics could get separated into parts.

E．That increase has accelerated rapidly during the pandemic.

F．Instead, they’re often thrown out, even if they’re still brand-new.

G．In response, France forbade the destruction of unsold consumer goods.

三、完形填空

I grew up in a community of South Indian immigrants. Every auntie I know has a

23．A．contribute to B．succeed in C．end up D．put off 24．A．consume B．enjoy C．cook D．digest 25．A．disciplines B．limits C．measures D．instructions 26．A．as B．because C．before D．after 27．A．brought B．complained C．wondered D．forgot 28．A．better B．crueler C．weaker D．luckier 29．A．private B．legal C．anxious D．proud 30．A．display B．allocate C．donate D．guard 31．A．functional B．transparent C．fragile D．standard 32．A．debate B．voyage C．operation D．adventure 33．A．bargaining B．yelling C．commanding D．weeping 34．A．elbowed B．fished C．handed D．booted 35．A．scream B．blow C．stare D．religion

六、读后续写

47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

One of my leachers once asked my class what our favorite memory was. My leacher asked for the moment in which “you fell the best; you fell that you had the world in the palms of your hand.” Some described amazing awards; other described winning a tournament. My answer, however, invited giggles and hesitant smiles. Why? Because I felt the best when I first learned how to ride my bike at thirteen. I didn’t mind my classmates’ stares and mockery, because I knew there was more to the story.

My elder sister and I shared a typical sisterly relationship: we couldn’t stand each other.

I was an annoyance to her. Any sort of conversation we had usually ended up fighting. Gradually, I started to learn to be totally indifferent; perhaps the silent treatment would get more approval. I was wrong. We soon fell into a sad pattern. I avoided her, and she ignored me.Deep inside, it hurt. So that was how it was between us. She was only a sister in name. I truly believed that we would forever be apart, two housemates without conversation, two strangers without warmth.

I still remember the day I learned to ride a bike. I had received the bike that Christmas, which was great, until I realized that I had no idea how to ride it. My mom had long abandoned any attempt to teach me. I had proven to be a frustrating student. I took it upon myself to learn, a little bit each day. It was no different. I was coming to the end of my daily one-hour torture(折磨). I was so frustrated that I threw my bike aside and began to cry.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右;

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

I guess that was what caused my sister to come outside.

重庆市南开中学2023-2024学年高三上学期开学英语试 题 一、阅读理解 Unique Birthday Traditions The editors of our international editions share traditions reserved for counting yourself one year older. Lithuania “In my native country, it is customary for the birthday person to sit in a decorated chair and to be lifted up by the party guests,” says editor Eva Mackevic. “How many times the chair is raised will correspond with his or her age.” Japan In Japan, when a child turns one, a ceremony called erabitori is held, where the birthday child chooses from a selection of items spread out around that represent the potential future. When a person turns 20, a coming-of-age celebration will be held on the second Monday anuary. The Netherlands When someone turns 50, a large doll will be placed in the birthday person’s garden or by heir front door; men have an “Abraham” doll, women a “Sarah”, based on a Bible passage. Australia A child’s first birthday is often celebrated with balloons and specially made “fairy bread”. Some families in Australia also mark the age of 21 with a souvenir “key to the door”, representing the young adult’s privilege to come and go from the family home as they please. Germany “In Germany, when unmarried men turn thirty, they are supposed to sweep the stairs of the loca l church or town hall,” editor Michael Kallinger says, “while women have to deal with the door handle.” This public act is meant to embarrass the person and motivate them to marry.

Peeling back the covers of the thousands of editions, published in numerous countries, and dating back to the first issue in February 1922, is always a task we enjoy doing. This collection offers a wide range of different subjects. Each one we hope will inform, delight, amuse and perhaps even confound our readers: from stepping inside the French artist Pierre-Auguste’s inner circle of friends (Page 84), to finding peace from depression in a solitary walk on the beach (Page 92) and meeting a cat who held a family together as they began to fall apart (Page 20). My favorite article, Exploits of Charles (Page 100), is written by a mother about the increasingly odd behavior of a little boy in her young son’s kindergarten class. I am sure you’ll enjoy this amusing account of a small boy adjusting to his new classmates and teachers.

专题03 阅读理解之七选五 新高考八省最新名校联考试题汇编 （原卷版） 1.【重庆市南开中学校2022-2023学年高三上学期期中英语试题】 Climate change has increased average temperatures by 1℃ over the past century, making heat waves more frequent and intense than those from any other point in recorded history. ____36____ A study published in the journal Nature Climate Change found global warming responsible for 37 percent of heat-related deaths between 1991 and 2018. The following is what happens if you’re the next to be killed. First, your brain sends a series of messages to your sweat glands telling them to increase sweat production. Then your heart starts beating faster to pump blood to the skin while blood flow is directed away from important organs(器官) like your liver, kidneys and gut. ____37____ If heat stroke occurs, your body might get hot and direct so much oxygen-rich blood to the skin that it suffocates(把…闷死) vital internal organs. If your body fails to cool you down, its internal temperature might start to climb from a normal level to about 104 degrees. ____38____ You may feel it start as a dull headache.
