Say you are a 17th century construction (建筑) worker who's worked long and hard to build a splendid tower for the dead wife of your emperor (皇帝).
Now say that the emperor orders you to cut off your fingertips so you can never build another one. Yes, that is the Taj Mahal, one of the most famous buildings in the world. And the tale (传说) behind the construction is just as impressive (印象深刻的) as the building itself.
First, there's the emperor of northern India, Shah Jehan, also called the King of the World. In 1612, Shah Jehan married Mumtaz Mahal. Madly in love, they had 14 children over the next 19 years. But then sadness came. As Mumtaz was about to give birth to child Number 14, she said she had heard her unborn baby cry out. It was a sign of death. And as Mumtaz lay dying, she asked Jehan to build a lasting memorial (纪念物) to celebrate their love.
When the heartbroken Jehan appeared eight days after his wife's death, his people were shocked to see that his coal-black hair had turned snow-white.
Putting away his sadness, Jehan ordered his wife's dying wish be carried out (执行). More than 20,000 workers labored nearly 22 years to complete the construction. In 1653, Jehan placed Mumtaz's remains in the center under the building.
And then, son Number five, Aurangzeb, murdered his brothers and took over the power from his aging father. Jehan lived the rest of his days—eight years, to be exact—imprisoned not far from the Taj Mahal. Jehan was only allowed to climb onto the top of his prison to see the timeless treasure from a distance (从远处). But never again would he be allowed to visit it—until he was buried next to his wife.
Today 25,000 people visit the Taj Mahal each day. Though the reason for building the tower was a strange, sad story, those who see its breathtaking beauty are reminded (使想起) of the happiness that inspired (激发……的灵感) its construction.
24. The first two paragraphs were written to show that ______.
A. the Taj Mahal is an unusual historic building
B. ancient Indian emperors were cruel
C. construction workers led a hard life in ancient India
D. India has some of the most famous buildings in the world
25. The Taj Mahal was first built as ______.
A. a prison B. a gift to Mumtaz
C. a memorial building D. a tourist attraction（景点）
26. We learn from the text that Mumtaz probably died in ______.
A. 1626 B. 1631 C. 1634 D. 1653
27. The underlined word "happiness" in the last paragraph refers to ______.
A. the married happiness of the emperor and his wife
B. the great pleasure Jehan once found in exercising his power
C. the happiness Jehan felt on completing the Taj Mahal
D. the pleasure tourists experience when visiting the Taj Mahal
C
Sometimes it takes a crisis (危机) to bring friends together. When Hurricane (飓风) Maria went through the island of Cayo Santiago in 2017, the monkeys living there became kinder toward each other, according to a study published in the journal Current Biology.
The findings show the monkeys made more friends and became more patient to one another. Although the hurricane destroyed two-thirds of the plants on the "Monkey Island", the increased competition for resources caused the monkeys to become more amicable, which helped them widen their friendship circles.
"We expected the monkeys would use their closest partners to deal with the destruction of the hurricane and so would strengthen their existing relationships," said lead author Testard.
But that was not what happened. Instead, the monkeys built new relationships, rather than strengthening their old ones, which surprised the researchers. Monkeys that were the most lonely before the storm increased social connections the most afterward. The study showed that monkeys often befriended the friends of their friends. This "easy" way to making friends is often mirrored in human society.
The findings could also indicate how people might deal with the increasing threat of climate change. The monkeys are close evolutionary relatives to humans and share many features of their biology and behavior with human beings. The climate crisis has increased the likelihood of extreme weather events and natural disasters. Humans can learn a thing or two from studying how the monkeys cope with the unpleasant effects of climate change.
The main takeaway the study offers humans: go beyond your close-knit circle of friends and form a broader social network to survive tough times. "Our best friends can give us many things. But sometimes, what we need is a social network where everyone is just friendly enough," Testard says.
28. What does the underlined word "amicable" probably mean
A. Attacking. B. Frightening. C. Friendly. D. Energetic.
29. What shocked researchers about the monkeys in crisis
A. They shared the limited resources.
B. They took advantage of old bonds.
C. They established new relationships.
D. Isolated monkeys were most popular.
30. What does the last paragraph focus on about the study
A. Its process. B. Its result.
C. Its purpose. D. Its significance.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Ups and Downs of the Monkey Island
B. Connection between Humans and Monkeys
C. A Crisis Leads to New Monkey Friendships
D. Learn from Monkeys for Broader Social Network
D
Mother's Day is a holiday that celebrates and honors mothers in the United States. It is celebrated on the second Sunday in May. It became an official holiday in the country at the start of the 20th century as a way to honor mothers whose sons had died in war.
The holiday is celebrated in a number of ways. People give mothers gifts like flowers, cards, and jewelry to thank them for all their hard work. A popular symbol of the holiday is the flower called carnation. This is because when the holiday first began in the U.S. people were encouraged to wear a red carnation if their mother was alive or a white carnation if their mother was dead. Many people take their mothers out for a special meal. In fact, Mother's Day is the most popular date in the U.S. for people to go out and eat and it is estimated that people spend billions on meals and gifts. Mother's Day is also the most popular day to make long distance calls in the U.S. It is the second most popular gift-giving day after Christmas.
Since its establishment, Mother's Day has been criticized for becoming highly financial. In fact, the founder of the U.S. holiday, Anna Jarvis, began protesting the holiday and was even arrested for disturbing the peace for a public march. Jarvis's own mother started the campaign to establish a mother's holiday during the American Civil War.
Mothers are not the only people celebrated on this day. All mother figures including grandmothers, great-grandmothers, stepmothers, and foster mothers are honored on the holiday. In schools many students make special gifts, including handmade cards. While widely recognized, Mother's Day is not a federal holiday. Many other countries around the world have their own version of Mother's Day.
32. Who was the holiday intended for at the beginning
A. All mothers. B. The sons giving lives in war.
C. All sons. D. The mothers losing sons in war.
33. What can you infer from Paragraphs 2 and 3 about Mother's Day
A. People give their mothers carnation flowers as gifts.
B. People prepare a special meal for their own mothers.
C. People spend too much on celebration of the holiday.
D. People telephone to their mothers anywhere anytime.
34. Why was its founder Anna Jarvis arrested
A. She criticized Mother's Day for high expenses.
B. She organized a public march and broke the peace.
C. She was strongly against her mother for the campaign.
D. She spent too much in celebrating the first Mother's Day.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. The ways of observing Mother's Day.
B. The origin of Mother's Day.
C. Different opinions on Mother's Day.
D. The holiday of Mother's Day.

第二节 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。（满分25分）
Karl walked to the back of the classroom to put his book away. There, lying on the carpet in front of the bookcase, was a golden ticket! He picked it up. His heart beat faster when he saw that the name line was blank.
The boys and girls in Karl's class could earn golden tickets by doing well in their work or by being extra helpful or kind. Once a week his teacher, Miss Evans, took a ticket out of a jar(广口瓶), and let the winner choose a prize. Karl couldn't believe his luck.
The golden ticket was going to be drawn, and here was another ticket, just for him. He looked around, but no one else was near the ticket. All his classmates were at their desks, laughing and talking with each other.
Karl decided to write his name on the blank line. Then he could put it into the prize jar with the tickets he'd already earned. With so many chances, at least one of his tickets would be picked! Then he could choose the pink pig as his sister's birthday present, just like what he had been hoping for.
He smiled and reached for the pencil in his pocket. Suddenly his fingers stopped. There was a strange feeling in his chest, and it wasn't his heartbeat. He looked out of the window and tried to figure it out. He did find the ticket, but he hadn't earned it. Maybe whoever lost it was looking for it. But he needed this extra ticket for his great plan!
He remembered what Dad had told him and his sister. "When you make a right choice, you can feel peaceful inside. You never have to feel bad about your choice later," he said.
Paragraph 1:
He put the pencil back in his pocket.

Staying Safe on the Internet With the internet around us, we can get in touch with each other much easier. However, it has brought to us dangers as well. ①So it is very important to stay safe on the internet. Here are some tips I'd like to share.
②First, make sure you have privacy setting fully enabled, which will guard against your personal information from being stolen. Then, avoid questionable websites. In this way you can keep away from information that makes you uncomfortable.
Online safety has become a matter of great concern. Let's think before click.
He put the pencil back in his pocket. And then he walked over to his teacher's desk. "Miss Evans, I found this golden ticket on the floor near the bookcase. I think somebody has lost it. I did find the ticket, but I haven't earned it. And these are mine," he said, dropping several tickets into the jar on his teacher's desk. When he turned around to leave, Miss Evans called him back.
"Karl, I'd like you to have another ticket," Miss Evans said. "You were honest and returned this one. By the way, what prize would you choose if your ticket was drawn The big candy bar or the fire truck " Karl said happily right away. "The pink pig! It will be my sister's birthday next week, and I really want to give it to her. That's her favorite animal." Karl sat down at his desk and smiled. He still wanted his ticket to be picked, but he would be happy even if it wasn't. Dad was right. Making the right choice did make him feel great, and maybe, he still might win the pink pig.
