If you are currently learning English, 1 highly recommend you check out the apps below.
Quizlet
When learning English, you probably have to memorize a lot of words. If you want to grow your vocabulary as fast as possible, a flashcard app like Quizlet is a great shortcut. With Quizlet, you can create a set of flashcards with new English words you are trying to learn, and practice typing them out until you know them by heart. It's a simple concept, but it's highly effective.
Spotify
Spotify is not a language learning app. But chances are that you already use it or a similar app for listening to music or podcasts（播客）, and one of the effective ways to study is combining something you already use into your existing habits. If Spotify is already on your phone, you can subscribe to some podcasts for English learners or download playlists of songs for learning English, or make your own.
Beelinguapp
Beelinguapp makes reading in English as convenient as possible. It shows you a text in your own language with the English translation side-by-side. Texts are short enough so that you can really dig into every word. They cover topics from fairytales, to science, to current news articles. There's even a "karaoke" feature where you can read along to audio, which helps you match up the English pronunciation with the English spellings.
Tandem
Tandem is a language exchange app which connects learners from all over the world. It can help you find a native English speaker who is trying to learn your native language, so you can swap language skills. If you only have five minutes to spare, you can simply exchange messages with a native English speaker. If you have more time, you can have a longer, digital language exchange" by sharing voice notes, or using video chat. It's a great way to test your English skills out with real people.

Nowadays mail delivery is a little different. I still get my mail from my mailbox. Nothing, but my neighbors’ mail. I thought that was curious.
I proceeded to take my neighbors’ mail to them. I was about to put the mail in their mailbox when a tall man came running out shouting about messing with his friend's mail. He snatched (夺过) the mail from my hand, opened the mailbox and pointed to the mail inside.“You were after this.
I shook my head, “No, believe me. I got this mail by mistake in my box today. I was just bringing it to them.” He gave me a funny look and went back into his house.
I got the knock on the door the next morning by two very polite officers. The annoyed tall man had phoned the police and told them I was a crazy old woman going around mixing up everyone's mail. Before I could finish telling them about what was going on, the officers had watched a dog approach my mailbox with mail in his mouth. He took out the mail that was in my box and put letters in. He pushed the door closed with his nose, picked up the new pile of mail he had gotten from my box, and repeated this all the way down the next street. We all started laughing.
The dog had belonged to a mail carrier who had died. No one thought to check (the carrier lived alone) on the man’s dog. The dog had been trained to put mail in and take mail out of the boxes. When he got loose, he assumed his duties.
I went by to talk to the annoyed tall man to fill him in on what had happened. He was very pleased when he realized I was not a mail thief. He did, however, adopt the little guy.
4. Why did the tall man give the author a funny look

I was just bringing it to them.’(我摇摇头，‘不，相信我。我今天不小心在邮箱里收到了这封邮件。我只是把它带给他们’)”，以及第四段第一、二句“I got the knock on the door the next morning by two very polite officers. The annoyed tall man had phoned the police and told them I was a crazy old woman going around mixing up everyone's mail.(第二天早上，我被两个非常有礼貌的警察敲了敲门。那个生气的高个子男人打电话给警察，说我是个疯婆)”,可知，那位男子不相信作者的解释，选择了报警。故选A项。
【5题详解】

(我还没来得及告诉他们发生了什么事，警察们就看到一只嘴里叼着邮件的狗走近了我的邮箱。它把我信箱里的信拿出来，把它带来的放了进去。它用鼻子把门关上，拿起从我的信箱里新收来的一堆信件，这样重复着这个做法，走到下一条街)”可知，警察在上门调查时撞见并亲眼目睹了那只狗取信件和放信件的全过程，由此发现了真相，故选B项。

For thousands of years, humans have built cities. Some of our oldest cities have managed to remain pieces of their original characteristics while others have disappeared completely.
One of these lost cities belonged to the Anasazi people who lived in Chaco Canyon in New Mexico. They built houses along the river that ran through the valley. For nearly 300 years the Chaco Canyon was the population center of many desert cities. Now nothing is left of this busy city but ruins. Scientists think that drought may have made the Anasazi suffer from starvation (饥荒) or that some kind of disease killed off many of the people. However, no one knows for sure what happened to the people of the Chaco Canyon.
Another lost city sits high atop the Andes Mountains in Peru: the city of Machu Picchu. It was once among the most powerful cities in South America. It was home to the Incan emperor. In 1527, its citizens packed up their belongings and moved for unknown reasons. Scientists guess that smallpox, a disease brought by European explorers, was the cause of Machu Picchu’s downfall. Today, tourists from all over the world climb thousands of steep stone steps to view the ruins of this once great city.
Yet another city that is no more was called Pompeii. This was one of the wealthiest cities of ancient Italy. This beautiful seaside city was a lively center of trade. However, a storm of lava (火山岩浆), smoke, and ash from Mt. Vesuvius buried the city of Pompeii, putting an end to its prosperity (繁华). Scientists have studied the ruins of Pompeii, which led to new discoveries about ancient civilizations of Europe.
Humans have always built cities as centers for trade, business, and family life. Cities that have been lost provide information about the past, helping to inform our future. By studying lost cities, we can learn how to protect our current cities.
8. Machu Picchu was once among the most powerful cities in South America because ________.
A. it was the center of the Inca Empire
B. it was located high atop the Andes Mountains
C. it was founded by powerful European explorers
D. it is visited by many visitors throughout the world
9. What does the three cities have in common according to the passage
A. They were in ruins in the end.
B. They suffered from various illnesses.
C. They were unable to gain enough supplies.
D. They were the most powerful center of local economics.
10. The writer introduces the three lost cities mainly by _________.
A. making a comparison B. stating causes and effects
C. expressing his own opinions D. listing numbers and examples
11. What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph
A. We should set up powerful cities for a competitive world.
B. We should pass on certain customs of ancient civilizations.
C. We should work out the ways to save our cities from various disasters.
D. We should learn from the past to ensure that we do not lose cities in the future.

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Another lost city sits high atop the Andes Mountains in Peru: the city of Machu Picchu. It was once among the most powerful cities in South America. It was home to the Incan emperor.(另一座失落的城市坐落在秘鲁安第斯山脉的高处：马丘比丘。它曾经是南美洲最强大的城市之一。它是印加皇帝的家。)”可知，马丘比丘曾经是南美洲最强大的城市之一是因为它是印加帝国的中心。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“For nearly 300 years, the Chaco Canyon was the population center of many desert cities. Now nothing is left of this busy city but ruins.(近300年来，查科峡谷是许多沙漠城市的人口中心。现在这座繁忙的城市只剩下一片废墟。)”、第三段“Scientists guess that smallpox, a disease brought by European explorers, was the cause of Machu Picchu’s downfall. Today, tourists from all over the world climb thousands of steep stone steps to view the ruins of this once great city.(科学家猜测，欧洲探险家带来的天花是马丘比丘灭亡的原因。今天，来自世界各地的游客爬上数千个陡峭的石阶，来观赏这座曾经伟大城市的废墟。)”以及第四段“However, a storm of lava (火山岩浆), smoke, and ash from Mt. Vesuvius buried the city of Pompeii, putting an end to its prosperity (繁华). Scientists have studied the ruins of Pompeii, which led to new discoveries about ancient civilizations of Europe.(然而，来自维苏威火山的熔岩，烟雾和灰烬的风暴埋葬了庞贝城，结束了它的繁荣。科学家们研究了庞贝遗址，从而对欧洲古代文明有了新的发现。)”可知，这三所曾经繁华的城市最终都成为了废墟。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Scientists think that drought may have made the Anasazi suffer from starvation (饥荒) or that some kind of disease killed off many of the people. (科学家认为，干旱可能使阿纳萨齐人遭受饥饿，或者某种疾病杀死了许多人。)”、根据文章第三段“Scientists guess that smallpox, a disease brought by European explorers, was the cause of Machu Picchu’s downfall. (科学家猜测，欧洲探险家带来的天花是马丘比丘灭亡的原因。)”以及根据文章第四段“However, a storm of lava (火山岩浆), smoke, and ash from Mt. Vesuvius buried the city of Pompeii, putting an end to its prosperity (繁华). (然而，来自维苏威火山的熔岩，烟雾和灰烬的风暴埋葬了庞贝城，结束了它的繁荣。)”可知，文章是通过陈述三座古城消失的原因和结果来介绍它们的。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Humans have always built cities as centers for trade, business, and family life. Cities that have been lost provide information about the past, helping to inform our future. By studying lost cities, we can learn how to protect our current cities.(人类一直把城市作为贸易、商业和家庭生活的中心。消失的城市提供了关于过去的信息，帮助我们了解未来。通过研究失落的城市，我们可以学习如何保护我们现在的城市。)”可知，文章作者在最后一段想要表达的是我们可以通过研究失落的城市学习如何保护我们现在的城市免于各种灾难。故选C。
D
As the new year approaches, crowds around the world may be expecting whizzes and bangs to light up the sky. The appeal of fireworks could fizzle out with the growing use of drones (无人机) for light shows, though.
Ollie Howitt, a leader of SkyMagic, which used a team of 300 drones to create a display for London’s new year celebration last year, said demand had increased substantially. “We do think it’s going to be something that’s ever catching on, as opposed to it being a short-lived sort of fashion people have suddenly got interested in. Drones are reusable and there’s no fallout. In that sense they’re a very good, sustainable option,” she said.
But not everyone agrees. A spokesperson from the British Fireworks Association said drones could also pose environmental problems. “Suggestions are that drones have less of an impact on the environment, but we have serious concerns about electrical demand and use of lithium batteries which are known not to be all that ‘green’,” they said.
An RSPCA spokesperson said that while drones were a possible idea to try to reduce the impact of displays on animals, there were downsides. “Drones are not without their own negative issues such as scaring horses or crashing into birds, and can cause disturbance to animals and members of the public. It’s therefore important for their effects to be fully considered and measures taken to minimize the chance of accidents,” they said.
Some express the opinion that the use of fireworks and drones don’t exclude each other. The sight, sound and gunpowder smell of fireworks will always provide its own unique thrill.
“We find fireworks work really well when teamed up with drones. But we don’t really see it as a one-replacing-the-other at all. We feel as if it’s just another tool in the chest for how you enliven the sky and what you want to do with the show you’re putting on,” said Howitt, noting that while fireworks give a loud, emotive, big performance, drones offer the chance to tell stories in the sky by using a series of images.
12. What does the underlined phrase “fizzle out” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Catch on. B. Wind up.
C. Create an impact. D. Make a comeback.
13. What does Howitt think about a drone display in paragraph 2
A. It’s definitely an upward trend.
B. It’ll get us to reflect on energy crisis.
C. It’s nothing but a temporary phenomenon.
D. It’ll excite the public curiosity about science.
14. Which of the following may Howitt suggest according to the last paragraph
A. Promoting the production of drones.
B. Diversifying the functions of drones.
C. Prohibiting the displays of fireworks.
D. Staging drone shows as an alternative.
15. In which section of a website can we read this text
A. Advertisement. B. Business.
C. Health. D. Environment.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了将无人机用于灯光表演的优点与它可能给环境带来的影响，以及人们对无人机灯光表演的态度。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。结合常识和第一段“The appeal of fireworks could fizzle out with the growing use of drones (无人机) for light shows, though.(不过，随着无人机越来越多地用于灯光表演，烟花的吸引力可能会fizzle out)”中“fireworks”和“the growing use of drones”可知，烟花表演与无人机的表演是有共性的，都属于夜空中的灯光秀，因此，当无人机越来越多地用于灯光表演，烟花表演就减少或被替代，由此推知，划线短语与Wind up意思相近，意为“结束”。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中Howitt的话“We do think it’s going to be something that’s ever catching on, as opposed to it being a short-lived sort of fashion people have suddenly got interested in. Drones are reusable and there’s no fallout. In that sense they’re a very good, sustainable option (我们确实认为它将会成为一种流行趋势，而不是人们突然间对它产生兴趣的一种短暂的时尚。无人机可以重复使用，而且不会产生放射性尘埃。从这个意义上说，它们是一个非常好的、可持续的选择)”可推知，Howitt认为无人机展示的发展呈上升的趋势。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中Howitt的话“We find fireworks work really well when teamed up with drones. But we don’t really see it as a one-replacing-the-other at all. We feel as if it’s just another tool in the chest for how you enliven the sky and what you want to do with the show you’re putting on(我们发现烟花和无人机配合时效果非常好。但我们并没有真正把它看作是一个取代另一个。我们觉得它只是另一个工具，用来让天空生动起来，让你想对你正在上演的节目做些什么)”可知，Howitt认为无人机并不会取代烟花，建议把它作为一种选择。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了将无人机用于灯光表演优点与它可能给环境带来的影响，以及人们对无人机灯光表演的态度。因此我们可能在网站与环境有关的部分读到这段文字。故选D项。

根据上文“Museums are centers filled with information designed to enlighten and educate the curious mind. Especially for children, museums introduce them to unknown worlds, inspire their imagination and provide them with valuable learning experiences. It's generally believed that museums only help fuel academic education.(博物馆是充满信息的中心，旨在启发和教育好奇的头脑。特别是对孩子来说，博物馆将他们引入未知的世界，激发他们的想象力，并为他们提供宝贵的学习经验。人们普遍认为博物馆只会促进学术教育)”以及下一段第一句“Museums offer children bigger connections and references to history than a traditional class.(博物馆为孩子们提供了比传统课堂更大的历史联系和参考)”可知，上文提到人们普遍认为博物馆只会促进学术教育，后文则说博物馆为孩子们提供了比传统课堂更大的历史联系和参考，可见博物馆除了促进学术教育，还可以提供其它方面的知识。故D选项“但事实上，它们提供关于生活各方面的知识”符合语境，故选D。
17题详解】
根据上文“Museums offer children bigger connections and references to history than a traditional class. They play a huge role in impacting their historical knowledge and the innovation taking place before their eyes.(博物馆为孩子们提供了比传统课堂更大的历史联系和参考。他们在影响自己的历史知识和眼前发生的创新方面发挥着巨大的作用)” 可知，上文提到了博物馆可以给孩子提供历史联系，A选项中history对应上文中history。故A选项“父母自己不一定是历史爱好者”符合语境，故选A。
【18题详解】
根据后文“Individuals acquire values, knowledge, and skills that are not applicable to the only field but will aid them for a lifetime. A single visit to a museum near you will provide children with in-depth knowledge about different subjects that they can acquire slowly, for museums let you stay as long as you want.(个人获得的价值、知识和技能并不适用于唯一的领域，但会帮助他们一生。只要去附近的博物馆参观，孩子们就会对不同的主题有深入的了解，他们可以慢慢掌握，因为博物馆让你想待多久就待多久)”可知，后文提到了博物馆可以让孩子对个人获得的价值、知识和技能有深入的了解，这些都属于个人的、非正式的教育资源。故E选项“博物馆是促进非正式教育的资源集合”符合语境，故选E。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Museums are well enough equipped to awaken curiosity in young minds, which in turn will lead to these children asking questions.(博物馆有足够的设备来唤醒年轻人的好奇心，这反过来会导致这些孩子问问题)”以及后文“Some of them might need a great deal of thought to answer and some of them might not have any answers at all. No matter what they asked, all of these questions must be equally encouraged and children must be given the confidence to find the answers to them on their own.(有些问题可能需要大量的思考才能回答，而有些问题可能根本就没有答案。无论他们问了什么，所有这些问题都必须得到同等的鼓励，必须给予孩子们自己找到答案的信心)”可知，本句是对孩子提出的问题是否能得到答案的说明，B选项中Some of these questions对应上文中questions。故B选项“这些问题中有一些可能马上就能得到答案”符合语境，故选B。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Museums have the ability to leave its visitors in awe of the huge amount of information it holds. They provide inspiration to young children via its resources that leave them fascinated about the night sky and the solar system, the skeletons that keep them thinking about life before them, the artworks that arouse the creative mind, etc.(博物馆有能力让它的参观者对它所拥有的大量信息感到敬畏。他们通过其资源为孩子们提供灵感，让他们对夜空和太阳系着迷，让他们思考之前的生命的骨骼，激发创造性思维的艺术品，等等)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，应总结上文说明博物馆对孩子的作用：鼓励孩子们去梦想和探索。故C选项“总而言之，博物馆鼓励孩子们去梦想和探索”符合语境，故选C。

考查时态和语态。句意：中国国际搜救队(CISAR)成立于2001年，目前由数百名救援人员和约20只警犬组成。考查本句谓语动词，根据时间状语“in 2001”可知，本句时态为一般过去时；主语为“The China International Search and Rescue Team”，单数，和动词“form”之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态。故填was formed。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：该团队为那些生活因风暴、洪水、地震或其他自然灾害而改变的人们带来帮助和希望。这里为定语从句的关系词，先行词为“those”，和空后的“lives”之间为所有关系，用关系代词whose。故填whose。

【44题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：这意味着他们必须在身体和精神上都很强大。固定搭配：both…and…，意为“既……也……”，符合句意。故填both。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：冒着生命危险去救别人需要很大的爱和勇气。这里为谓语动词担当主语，构成固定句型：it takes…to do sth.，意为“做某事需要……”。故填to risk。
第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分)
第一节 单句翻译(共5小题;每小题3分，满分15分)
阅读下列各小题，根据汉语提示和句末括号内的英语单词、短语及要求完成句子，并将答案写在横线上。
46. 我突然想起我还没报名这次高级音乐史讲座。(it做形式主语；sign)(汉译英)
【答案】It struck/occurred to /hit/dawned on me that I hadn’t signed up for the lecture on the history of music .
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、时态和it做形式主语。主句陈述过去事情，用一般过去时。“某人突然想起”用It struck/occurred to /hit/dawned on sb. that...，it作形式主语，真正的主语为that从句；“报名”用短语sign up for；“高级音乐史讲座”翻译为 the lecture on the history of music。从句动作发生在主句动作之前，所以从句用过去完成时。根据句意，故翻译为It struck/occurred to /hit/dawned on me that I hadn’t signed up for the lecture on the history of music 。
47. 当我们到达目的地的时候，我们震惊地发现Tom迷路了。(find+宾语+宾补)(汉译英)
【答案】When we arrived at/reached our destination, we found Tom lost in shock /surprisingly .
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、时态、状语从句和find+宾语+宾补。陈述过去事情，用一般过去时。“当……时候”用连词when引导时间状语从句；“到达目的地的”翻译为arrive at/reach our destination；“我们发现Tom迷路了”用“find+宾语+宾补”结构；“震惊地”用短语in shock 或用副词surprisingly。根据句意，故翻译为When we arrived at/reached our destination, we found Tom lost in shock /surprisingly。
48. 相较于袁隆平的传奇故事，他的决心和努力更能为年轻人树立优秀的榜样。(过去分词作状语；legend)(汉译英)
【答案】Compared to the legend of Yuan Longping, his determination and efforts can better set an example for/set a better example for the young/the younger generation.
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、情态动词和非谓语动词。be compared to 与……相比较，在句中作状语，所以用过去分词形式。“袁隆平的传奇故事”翻译为the legend of Yuan Longping；“他的决心和努力”翻译为his determination and efforts；“为……树立榜样”翻译为set an example for；“年轻人，年轻一代”翻译为the young/the younger generation。“能”用情态动词can，后接动词原形。根据句意“更能”可以用better set an example for 或是set a better example for ，故翻译为Compared to the legend of Yuan Longping, his determination and efforts can better set an example for /set a better example for the young the younger generation.
49. 尤其让我困惑的是他是如何在这么多年没见我之后还能立刻认出我来。(形容词前置的倒装；recognize)(汉译英)
【答案】Especially confused is/was how he could recognize me immediately/at once after we haven’t / hadn’t seen each other for so many years.
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、时态、状语从句和倒装。根据句意，主句用一般现在时或一般过去时，从句用现在完成时或过去完成时。根据提示要求用形容词前置的倒装。所以“尤其让我困惑的是”翻译为especially confused is/was；“他是如何立刻认出我来” 翻译为he could recognize me immediately/at once；“在……之后”用连词after引导时间状语从句；“在这么多年没见我”翻译为we haven’t / hadn’t seen each other for so many years。故翻译为Especially confused is/was how he could recognize me immediately/at once after we haven’t / hadn’t seen each other for so many years.
50. 在中秋节的夜晚共赏明月是中国独有的传统，这有一段很长的历史了。(Mid-Autumn Festival；动名词作主语)(汉译英)
【答案】Admiring the shinning / shiny moon in the night of Mid-Autumn Festival is unique to China, which has a long history.
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、时态、非谓语动词和定语从句。陈述客观事实，用一般现在时。句中缺少主语，所以用动名词作主语。“赏明月”翻译为admire the shinning / shiny moon；“在……的夜晚”用短语in the night of；“中秋节”用短语Mid-Autumn Festival；“……是独特的”用短语 be unique to；指代前面一件事，用关系代词which引导非限定性定语从句；“一段很长的历史”翻译为a long history。根据句意，故翻译为Admiring the shinning / shiny moon in the night of Mid-Autumn Festival is unique to China, which has a long history.

Nowadays mail delivery is a little different. I still get my mail from my mailbox. Nothing but my neighbors’ mail. I thought that was curious.
I proceeded to take my neighbors’ mail to them. I was about to put the mail in their mailbox when a tall man came running out shouting about messing with his friend's mail. He snatched (夺过) the mail from my hand, opened the mailbox and pointed to the mail inside.“You were after this.
I shook my head, “No, believe me. I got this mail by mistake in my box today. I was just bringing it to them.” He gave me a funny look and went back into his house.
I got the knock on the door the next morning by two very polite officers. The annoyed tall man had phoned the police and told them I was a crazy old woman going around mixing up everyone's mail. Before I could finish telling them about what was going on, the officers had watched a dog approach my mailbox with mail in his mouth. He took out the mail that was in my box and put letters in. He pushed the door closed with his nose, picked up the new pile of mail he had gotten from my box, and repeated this all the way down the next street. We all started laughing.
The dog had belonged to a mail carrier who had died. No one thought to check (the carrier lived alone) on the man’s dog. The dog had been trained to put mail in and take mail out of the boxes. When he got loose, he assumed his duties.
I went by to talk to the annoyed tall man to fill him in on what had happened. He was very pleased when he realized I was not a mail thief. He did, however, adopt the little guy.
4. Why did the tall man give the author a funny look
A. To show his disbelief. B. To express his curiosity.
C. To contain his annoyance. D. To hide his embarrassment.
5. How did the police officers discover the truth
A. By analyzing the case. B. By witnessing the mix-up.
C. By questioning the author. D. By consulting the tall man.
6. According to the story, the dog
A. was well-trained and devoted B. used to live a lonely and busy life
C. was assigned to replace the carrier D. guarded the mail in the neighborhood
7. What’s the best title for the story
A. A mail service B. A dog’s tale
C. Special delivery D. Noble duties
C
For thousands of years, humans have built cities. Some of our oldest cities have managed to remain pieces of their original characteristics while others have disappeared completely.
One of these lost cities belonged to the Anasazi people who lived in Chaco Canyon in New Mexico. They built houses along the river that ran through the valley. For nearly 300 years, the Chaco Canyon was the population center of many desert cities. Now nothing is left of this busy city but ruins. Scientists think that drought may have made the Anasazi suffer from starvation (饥荒) or that some kind of disease killed off many of the people. However, no one knows for sure what happened to the people of the Chaco Canyon.
Another lost city sits high atop the Andes Mountains in Peru: the city of Machu Picchu. It was once among the most powerful cities in South America. It was home to the Incan emperor. In 1527 its citizens packed up their belongings and moved for unknown reasons. Scientists guess that smallpox, a disease brought by European explorers, was the cause of Machu Picchu’s downfall. Today, tourists from all over the world climb thousands of steep stone steps to view the ruins of this once great city.
Yet another city that is no more was called Pompeii. This was one of the wealthiest cities of ancient Italy. This beautiful seaside city was a lively center of trade. However, a storm of lava (火山岩浆), smoke, and ash from Mt. Vesuvius buried the city of Pompeii, putting an end to its prosperity (繁华). Scientists have studied the ruins of Pompeii, which led to new discoveries about ancient civilizations of Europe.

As the new year approaches, crowds around the world may be expecting whizzes and bangs to light up the sky. The appeal of fireworks could fizzle out with the growing use of drones (无人机) for light shows, though.
Ollie Howitt, a leader of SkyMagic, which used a team of 300 drones to create a display for London’s new year celebration last year, said demand had increased substantially. “We do think it’s going to be something that’s ever catching on, as opposed to it being a short-lived sort of fashion people have suddenly got interested in. Drones are reusable and there’s no fallout. In that sense they’re a very good, sustainable option,” she said.
But not everyone agrees. A spokesperson from the British Fireworks Association said drones could also pose environmental problems. “Suggestions are that drones have less of an impact on the environment, but we have serious concerns about electrical demand and use of lithium batteries which are known not to be all that ‘green’,” they said.
An RSPCA spokesperson said that while drones were a possible idea to try to reduce the impact of displays on animals, there were downsides. “Drones are not without their own negative issues such as scaring horses or crashing into birds, and can cause disturbance to animals and members of the public. It’s therefore important for their effects to be fully considered and measures taken to minimize the chance of accidents,” they said.
Some express the opinion that the use of fireworks and drones don’t exclude each other. The sight, sound and gunpowder smell of fireworks will always provide its own unique thrill.
“We find fireworks work really well when teamed up with drones. But we don’t really see it as a one-replacing-the-other at all. We feel as if it’s just another tool in the chest for how you enliven the sky and what you want to do with the show you’re putting on,” said Howitt, noting that while fireworks give a loud, emotive, big performance, drones offer the chance to tell stories in the sky by using a series of images.
12. What does the underlined phrase “fizzle out” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Catch on. B. Wind up.
C. Create an impact. D. Make a comeback.
13. What does Howitt think about a drone display in paragraph 2
A. It’s definitely an upward trend.
B. It’ll get us to reflect on energy crisis.
C. It’s nothing but a temporary phenomenon.
D. It’ll excite the public curiosity about science.
14. Which of the following may Howitt suggest according to the last paragraph
A. Promoting the production of drones.
B. Diversifying the functions of drones.
C. Prohibiting the displays of fireworks.
D. Staging drone shows as an alternative.
15. In which section of a website can we read this text
A. Advertisement. B. Business.
C. Health. D. Environment.
