Dear Tom,
Thanks for your interesting question about the role of dragons in Chinese culture. I did a little research and here are some facts that may be helpful.
Historically, legend says that Chinese are descendants of dragons, which symbolize good luck and highest power. As a result, only the emperor could wear garments featuring dragon designs in ancient China. Ordinary people shared the dragons’ blessings through celebrations, such as the Duanwu Festival’s dragon boat races and dragon dances performed during Chinese New Year.
Dragons have also entered our daily vocabulary. “I wish you the spirit and vigor of a dragon” is one common idiom used to convey wishes for good health.
I hope this information is useful for your presentation. If you have further questions, feel free to ask.
Yours,
Li Hua。

She was usually her own worst critic, but today Adriana was pleased with what she saw. Sunset was her best work yet! Not that her classmates would agree. Their reaction to her abstract art was always “What’s that supposed to be?” or “Artists use brushes to paint, not knives, string and cloth.” Still, she didn’t care. Adriana painted to please herself, not others.When she showed the work to Mr. Marcus, her middle school art teacher, the net day, he shook his head and said sternly, “Please Adriana, I’ve had enough of this.” Anyone hearing this comment and its tone would naturally think Mr. Marcus was criticizing her work, but it was his frustration speaking. He loved Adriana’s paintings and had repeatedly begged her to show them publicly. She always refused.As her middle school graduation approached, however, Adriana began worrying about university. Her parents would cover her study fees, but Adriana planned to pay for heruniversity books, art supplies and accommodation herself. So, this time, when Mr. Marcus made the suggestion, Adriana agreed. A disbelieving grin appeared on Mr. Marcus’s face.The following day, after checking the newspapers and visiting several local real estate offices, Adriana and Mr. Marcus wandered around the town looking for a suitable location. Finally, though, they could not find anything within their price range.At the day’s end, the pair entered a small coffee shop to rest. Mr. Marcus could see the disappointment on Adriana’s face and, as a woman came to take their order, said, “Don't worry. We’ll find somewhere to show your art.” On hearing this, the woman said, “Did you say art? You know we show local artists’ works right here in the café,” pointing to the paintings hanging on the walls. “Bring a few of your pieces around tomorrow for me to look at. I’m Susan by the way, the owner.” After thanking Susan for her offer, Adriana and Mr. Marcus left the cafe in amazement.The next morning Adriana brought along Sunset and Mr. Marcus the two paintings of Adriana’s he’d purchased earlier that year. Susan studied the paintings in silence, concentrating hard on each one. After what felt like a lifetime, she turned to Adriana and said, “I’d be honoured to hang these in my café.”24.What can we learn about Adriana from the first paragraph?A.She was very independent in her thinking.B.She was not very popular with her classmates.C.She was easily affected by other people’s opinions.D.She was very confident in her own artistic abilities.25.What was Mr. Marcus’s opinion of Adriana’s paintings?A.Strongly critical.B.Very positive.C.Somewhat frustrating.D. A little confusing.26.Why did Adriana finally agree to show her artwork?A.Her high school graduation was getting nearer.B.She felt guilty about troubling Mr. Marcus.C.Her parents were in desperate need of money.D.She wanted to help support herself during university.27.Adriana finally found a place to show her artwork mainly because of ________.A.friendly encouragementB.strong determinationC.careful planningD.good luckCAs we continue to explore farther out into our solar system and beyond, the question of humans living on other planets often comes up. Manned bases on the Moon or Mars for example, have long been a dream of many. There is a natural desire to explore as far as we can go, and also to extend humanity's presence on a permanent or at least semi-permanent basis. In order to do this, however, it is necessary to adapt to different extreme environments. On the Moon for example, a colony must be self-sustaining and protect its inhabitants from the airless, harsh environment outside.Mars, though, is different. While future bases could adapt to the Martian environment over time there is also the possibility of modifying the surrounding environment instead of just co-existing with it. This is the process of terraforming - adjusting Mars’ atmosphere and environment to make it more Earth-like. But the bigger question is, should we?One of the main issues is whether Mars has any native life or not and if it does, should it be preserved as much as possible? If the answer is yes, then large-scale human settlements on Mars should be completely off-limits. Small colonics might be fine, but living on Mars should not be at the expense of any native habitats, if they exist. If Mars is home to any indigenous life, then terraforming should be a non-issue; it simply should not be done.What if Mars is lifeless? Even if no life exists there, that untouched and unique alien environment needs to be preserved as it is as much as possible. We’ve already done too much damage here on our own planet. By studying Mars and other planets and moons in their current natural state, we can learn so much about their history and also learn more about our own world. We should appreciate (he differences of other worlds instead of just transforming them to suit our own ambitions.28. What is the best title for the text?A. A Is there life on Mars?B.Can we adapt to Mars?C.Should we terraform Mars?D.Are Mars and Earth So Different?29. What does the author think we should do if life is found on Mars ?A.Ensure that it's not harmed.B.Negotiate with the Martians.C.Change the unpopulated regions.D.Assess the advantages and disadvantages.30. What does the underlined word “indigenous” in paragraph 3 mean?plex.B. Native.C. Foreign.D. Intelligent31 How does the author develop his ideas in the text?A.By referring to others' research.B.By evaluating different planets.C.By justifying the benefits of terraforming.D.By arguing in support of one viewpoint.DAfter 400 years, William Shakespeare (1564-1616) is still widely celebrated as a great crafter of language and playwright (剧作家).But he was not the only great master of dramatic writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting impact on theatre. While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is rightly considered China’s greatest playwright and is highly admired in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.Tang was born in 1550 in Linchuan, Jiangxi Province, and worked as a government official until, in 1598 and aged 49, he retired to focus on writing. Unlike Shakespeare's large body of plays and poems, Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, A Dream under a Southern Bough, Dream of Handan and The Peony Pavilion -widely considered to be his masterpiece. In the latter three, much of the story is told through dream sequences. Tang used these scenes to explore human emotions in ways that challenged the feudal system of his time. It is a similar dream structure that we find in Shakespeare^ A Midsummer Night's Dream.Tang lived towards the end of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and, similarly to Shakespeare, his lasting success was partly due to the growth of theatre as an artistic practice during his lifetime. As in Shakespeare's England, it became hugely popular in China, with public theatres opening in different cities and traveling performance groups becoming common. Theatrical audiences started to populate open public spaces, and theatre as a popular form of entertainment found its place outside palaces. However, unlike in Shakespeare’s England, there was hardly any mixing of the rich with commoners at theatrical events.During this time, the way in which play-texts were enjoyed, spread and performed also changed. Initially, Chinese dramas had an emphasis on poetic language and were distributed in book form, to be read like novels. They were seldom, if ever, performed. However, from the mid-16th century, kunqu opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southern China to become a symbol of Chinese culture.While Tang and Shakespeare lived a world away from each other, they share in commonthe humanity of their drama, their heroic figures, their love for language, a lasting popularity — and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.32. Why does the writer refer to Shakespeare throughout this article about Tang?A. To compare the writing styles of the writers.B. To emphasize Tang’s importance in literature.C. To assess the achievements of these two great writers.D. To examine the different influences of Tang and Shakespeare.33. What distinguishes The Purple Hairpin from Tang’s other plays?A. It does not rely heavily on dream scenes.B. It is widely considered to be his best work.C. It was the only play to be publicly performed.D. It challenged the feudal system of ancient China.34. What characteristic was shared by both English and Chinese theatre during Tang’s lifetime?A. Music and poetry were present in most performances.B. The popularity of public theatrical performances grew rapidly.C. Different social classes often attended the same performances.D. Most plays were written to be read as novels rather than performed.35. Which of the following would the author probably agree with?A. Tang’s plays were superior to his poems.B. Tang is more widely read than Shakespeare.C. Tang is the best playwright in Chinese history.D. Tang and Shakespeare knew of each other s works.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。

One was about the Smith family who had just lost theirfour-year-old son to cancer. His older brother was in deep sorrow. Could Della help?That message and the 30 or so others like it were exactly what Della was looking for. To celebrate her 53rd, the long-time social service professional had put out a call on her blog.She wanted to commit 53 random acts of kindness by the end of her birth month, and she needed information on people who could use one. When she got the note about the Smith family,she sent a wind chime(风铃)with the message“Listen to the wind and know that I amnear”written on it. It now hangs in the four-year-old’s bedroom, where his older brother can go to listen to it whenever he wants.This is not the first time that Della has decided to give gifts for her birthday. For her 47th, in 2016, she founded Love in Action, an organization committed to doing something good near her home and beyond. Its aim is simple: Do Your Best, Show Your Love!Over the years, the organization has reached out and touched well over 100 strangers, some found via Dclla’s blog, others with help from her grandkids. The organization also shares inexpensive and creative gift ideas for others to help people in need.Della pays for everything herself: gift cards, pay-it-forward purchases at drive-throughs, and care packages, as well as the gas it takes to play fairy.

Known as nature’s engineers, they tear trees down to build homes to live in and dams to raise water levels for protection from enemies. Dams also slow water’s flow while blocking sediment(沉积物)that would otherwise flow downstream. The resulting wetlands often attract wildlife diversity where none had existed. There are challenges, though. Beaver dams sometimes cause flooding, and most people prefer trees alive and upright.Communities face a delicate balancing act, learning to coexist with beavers. Last winter, many people enjoying Winston Path became beaver fans as one furry family transformed Swallow Pond into an oasis for birds, frogs, turtles and deer.Yet such activity caused concern. As beavers worked, they raised water levels about five feet. The increased depth allows beavers to survive underwater if the pond ices over. But county officials were concerned about how higher water would affect the soil bank supporting Winston Path.To find a good balance between protecting the path and the beavers, the county introduced a“ beaver baffle”— a pond leveler.Beavers often rush to fill holes in theirdams.Baffles stabilize water levels by creating a hidden exit for high water to escape through the dam, unnoticed by the beavers.People love the beavers but they also love the mature trees. Recently, Catherine Jones,18, organized a tree-caging event — putting wire cloth around large tree trunks to discourage beavers from biting t hem. It also protects people from injury due to random trees falling.“We cover the trees we don’t want them to eat, while planting periodically others they like,“said Jones.“We need-to learn to give up a little of our wants to share the Earth’s resources.”Swallow Pond’s 2023 project will restore proper water depth and improve wildlife habitat without creating problems for the path. The balancing act continues.8.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A.Where beavers’ favorite surroundings are.B.What effects beavers have on their habitat.C.Why beavers are called nature’s engineers.D.How beavers help attract wildlife diversity.9.Why did the beaver family’s activity cause concern?A.Swallow Pond would flood often.B.Sediment would flow downstream.C.The popular path might be damaged.D.Beavers might have to live underwater.10.What do the underlined words“beaver baffle”refer to in paragraph 4?A．A block to keep beavers away. B．A tool to fix holes in the dams.C．A device to maintain water level. D．A material to protect the soil bank.11.What is the theme of Swallow Pond’s 2023 project?A．Biological diversity. B．Harmonious coexistence. C．Prevention of natural disasters. D．Preservation of wildlife habitat.Some bacteria(细菌)have a superpower that scientists would love to use. These bacteria gain energy from light, just as plants do.Scientists have wanted to use cyanobacteria(蓝藻菌)to make electricity. But in previous research, they didn’t survive long on artificial surfaces. Researchers have now moved them to a living surface — a mushroom. Their creation is the first mushroom to make electricity.Applied Physicist Simon Jackson and his team turned that mushroom into a mini energyfarm. This bionic(生物电子的)mushroom combines 3D printing, conductive ink and bacteria to generate electricity. Its design could lead to new ways of combining nature with electronics.Like plants, cyanobacteria make their own food from sunlight, releasing electrons(电子). When enough electrons build up in one place, they can create an electric current.The researchers needed to bring a lot of these bacteria together. They decided to use 3D printing to place them precisely onto a surface.Jackson’s team chose mushrooms for that surface. After all, they realized, mushrooms naturally host communities of bacteria and other microbes. Finding test subjects for their tests was easy. Jackson simply went to the grocery store and picked up white button mushrooms.Printing on those mushrooms, though, turned out to be a real challenge. 3D printers have been designed to print on flat surfaces, but mushroom caps are curved. The researchers spent months writing computer code to solve the problem. Eventually, they came up with a program to 3D print their ink onto the curved mushroom tops.The researchers printed two“inks”onto their mushrooms. One was a green ink made of cyanobacteria. They used this to make a spiral pattern on the cap. They also used a black ink made of graphene, which is great at conducting electricity. They printed this ink in a branching pattern across the mushroom top.Then it was time to shine.“Cyanobacteria are the real heroes here,”says Jackson. When his team shone light on the mushrooms, the bacteria gave out electrons. Those electrons flowed into the graphene and created an electric current.12.What was the problem in previous research?A.Cyanobacteria didn’t produce electrons.B．Cyanobacteria couldn’t get enough light.C.The researchers chose the wrong bacteria.D.No suitable home was made for cyanobacteria.13.Why were mushrooms finally chosen as test subjects?A.They are convenient to find.B.They can produce electric currents.C.They are where bacteria can naturally grow.D.They can be easily combined with 3D printing.14.What is the major function of the black ink in this test?A.To feed bacteria.B.To deliver electrons.C.To produce electricity.D.To reshape mushroom tops.15.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A.Who are the real heroes?B.New application of 3D printingC.Nature combined with electronsD．Bionic mushroom makes electricity二、七选五Home gardens produce delicious food.But that’s not their main virtue.Imagine a plate holding two strawberries, identical in appearance. One came out of a super-market box, probably harvested unripe. 16 The other was picked from a garden minutes before being eaten. The first one will probably taste like a slightly sour grape while the second is likely to be sweet and rich in flavour.Supermarket strawberries are not entirely without advantages. They are convenient and available in the northern globe even in February. But the two berries differ from each other in the same way that hearing Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata in a concert hall differs from listening to it on an old tape. 17Other people, however, believe gardening a waste of time. But the same could be said of cooking. There are cheap and decent restaurants around, so why bother to make your own meals? 18 They mistake the product for the purpose.Actually, a garden, especially in the early years, can produce little but frustration(挫败感). New gardeners may plant the wrong crops for their soil. Rabbits have an annoying habit of taking single bites of vegetable, then leaving the rest to go bad. 19 No matter. The real joy of gardening is the time spent doing it. The deepest pleasure — as with cooking, writing, bringing up children or almost anything worthwhile — is in the work itself.A gardener’s memories revolve not around the food produced, but around long afternoons with hands in the dirt.20A.No one can ever avoid this hard stage.B.So why don’t we start home gardening for delicious food?C.This might explain why many people desire a home garden.D.These people misunderstand the ultimate appeal of gardening.E.By the time it reached the plate it may have been off the plant for days.F.To garden is to patiently and lovingly help life grow, in the ground and above it.G.And even expert gardeners can lose a season’s harvest to uncooperative weather.三、完形填空At school, art class is fun. We 21 with different techniques and generally get creative. However, a field trip to an art gallery is often 22 . Last year my art teacher organized a trip to an art exhibition. The gallery was full of older people, who obviously didn’t want to be with 23 students. We all got 24 and couldn’t stop chatting. Our teacher was getting 25 and kept telling us to be quiet.The next day we complained to our teacher about the 26 of activities for teens at art galleries. She 27 that a visit should be both educational and fun. That’s when I decided to go online and look for art galleries that have special 28 for teens. Eventually, I 29 to find a huge range of activities and proposed some to my teacher.I also used the 30 to learn about artists. Recently, I found a contemporary artist called Martin Bailey. I’ve 31 seen artists who combine different techniques, but Bailey is totally different. He does unique illustrations with32 household objects such as umbrellas, headphones and even cookies. His art is simple, but it makes you see things 33 . For example, he notices that a flower is similar to a mop(拖把) and puts this 34 into life by drawing a little man with a real flower mop. It’s really 35 ! I hope I’ll be able to go to an exhibition of his work in the future.21．A．deal B．start C．struggle D．experiment 22．A．disappointing B．challenging C．exciting D．interesting 23．A．noisy B．careless C．attentive D．creative 24．A．annoyed B．bored C．lost D．worried25．A．weak B．sensitive C．stressed D．tired 26．A．lack B．theme C．result D．schedule 27．A．announced B．demanded C．suggested D．agreed 28．A．gifts B．prices C．paintings D．events 29．A．happened B．determined C．managed D．expected 30．A．activity B．internet C．trip D．exhibition 31．A．already B．never C．merely D．obviously 32．A．useful B．fancy C．suitable D．ordinary 33．A．clearly B．directly C．differently D．critically 34．A．design B．idea C．plant D．tool 35．A．abstract B．amusing C．strange D．practical四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

AA decreasing birthrate depends to a large extent on the availability and use of birth control and on high living levels that make the production of additional children to provide necessary and inexpensive labor unnecessary. Family planning is a national policy in many industrial countries，such as Japan and most of European countries. As a result，in most cases the birthrate has decreased. Many developing countries have followed the lead of India (which has since 1952 conducted an extensive，but not totally successful，birth control program) in trying to promote family planning as a national policy. These countries include China，Kenya，Pakistan，Turkey，Egypt，and Chile.In the United States，facts of the population question，such as birth control and abortion，are among the most bitterly debated subjects. The United States has disagreed strongly at times with the use of foreign aid appropriations (拨款) for family planning overseas and doing that is thought against human rights; family planning in the country is mainly run by private groups such as Planned Parenthood.A number of non-governmental organizations concerned with population growth have also appeared. Zero Population Growth，an educational group founded in 1970，aims to stop population growth，first in the United States and then in other countries. On the international level，besides the International Planned Parenthood Federation，the United Nations Economic and Social Council provides birth control aid to underdeveloped nations.()1.All the following countries try to take family planning as a national policy EXCEPT.A.KenyaB.PakistanC.ChileD.Russia()2.In many industrial countries the birthrate decreases because .A.they take measures in family planningB.they don’t want to provide necessary and cheap laborC.they want to live a life of high living standardsD.they don’t want to bear more additional children()3.What does the underlined word “abortion” probably mean in the second paragraph?A.Food supplies.B.An operation to end a pregnancy.C.Foreign aid.D.High growth of population birthrate.。

Ordinary people shared the dragons* blessings through celebrations.such as the Duanwu Festival's dragon boat races and dragon dances performed during Chinese New Year.Dragons have also entered our daily vocabulary. "I wish you the spirit and vigor of a dragon"is one common idiom used to convey wishes for good health.I hope this information is useful for your presentation.

广东省广州市2020届普通高中毕业班英语综合测试(二)
广东省广州市2020届普通高中毕业班英语综合测试（二）一、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） (共4题；共30分)1．（6分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
We can all think of times when people didn't make remembering easy. Directions given at machine-gun speed. New people introduced in a flood of names and handshakes. Whenever information is passed between people, it's all too easy for it to go in one ear and straight out of the other. Thankfully, the opposite is also true. Look around you, and you'll see parents who can get their children to remember exactly what they were told; advertisers who know how to imprint their sales messages on our brains.So, how do they do? Their secrets can be summed up in four simple words: focus, imagery, reasons and engagement.FOCUS means ensuring that the person you're talking to can concentrate on learning. Choose your moment carefully. Check that they can properly hear or see the information. Communicate slowly and clearly enough for their memory to cope.IMAGERY helps information to stick. Do everything your can to make other people "see" the ideasyou're giving them. Add visual details to directions, and illustrate abstract concepts with metaphors.REASONS to remember help people to put in the mental effort. So, make it clear that your words are important, and be explicit about why. Maybe this information will save them time, protect them from embarrassment, or let them enjoy a particular experience or event.EMGAGEMENT requires you to ask questions. Point out links between new concepts and things listeners already know. Activate their senses, spark their curiosity, get them doing something physical, or simply make them laugh.The next time you've got an important message to pass on, put some of these techniques to the test. You'll discover that there are benefits on both sides when you know how to FIRE people's memories into action.（1）（2分）What is the main purpose of the text?A．To report new research.B．To provide some advice.C．To explain a problem.D．To define some terms.（2）（2分）How can you do to help a listener "focus" on what you are saying?A．Select the appropriate time to raise the topic.B．Do something humorous to get their attention.C．Make sure the information provided is correct.D．Speak as slowly and clearly as you possibly can.（3）（2分）Explaining to listeners why your information is important is an example of ________.A．FOCUS B．IMAGERY C．REASONS D．ENGAGEMENT 2．（8分）阅读理解Special boxes lie at the bottom of my locked filing cabinet. Deposited there are important letters and cards collected throughout my life, from my grandparents, school friends, parents, wife and son. Since the invention of e-mail though, they've been few and far between.Tonight is New York's Eve 2029 and there's a very special box of letters I want to look at. But first there's something I have to do – The Ritual (惯例).I go to my trusted computer and start. I begin to type: Dear -- . I leave the name blank for now, anticipating the thrill of typing it in. "I hope you are well and I wonder how this will find you. And you still planning to move to that villa in Portugal? Did your son marry Fiona? Is your mother still alive? Questions surge into my mind.For the next two hours I sit writing. About what I've been doing for the last year, my failing health, my increasing wealth and sometime difficult marriage. Then about my goals and ambitions. Will he be interested? Do I climb Mt. Kilimanjaro? Do I get that novel published? the one that's been rejected more times than I carte to think about.Finally, it's finished. 11:30 pm. I fill in the recipient's name, print my letter, sign and address it and then seal it up with tape. I then delete the document and empty the trash folder – to avoid the possibility of temptation. That completes the ritual!I walk over to my "special box". It contains ten long, white, thick envelopes, all with the same handwriting. I place the one I have just written in at the back and take out the one at the front. It's dated 2019, and labelled "to be opened 31st December 2029".The cycle is finally complete! I open it, trembling with anticipation. I begin to read, my eyes tearing up a little as I do so. Throughout the last ten long, eventful years, of life, death, joy and heartbreak, it has been waiting patiently in this box for me, though I now have no memory of ever having written it.（1）（2分）Why does the author receive fewer "important letters" these days ?A．He has moved from his original address.B．He is rarely in contact with his friends and family.C．People communicate with each other less often than before.D．Electronic communication has largely replaced physical letters.（2）（2分）Who does the underlined word "he" in paragraph 4 refer to?A．The author himself.B．The author's son.C．The author's school friend.D．The author's book publisher.（3）（2分）Why does the author probably delete the completed letter from his computer?A．So that no one else will be able to read it.B．So that he won't read it ahead of schedule.C．Because he decides at last not to send it.D．Because he wants forget what has happened.（4）（2分）How does the author feel as he is about to open his special letter?A．Relieved B．Moved C．Excited D．Afraid3．（8分）阅读理解Texas rancher (牧场主) Charles Goodnight had a problem. He needed skilled cowboys to drive his herd of two thousand longhorn cattle to New Mexico to be sold. He couldn't offer high wages. He couldn't promise easy jobs or even nice weather. But he decided that decent, warm meals might enticemen to work for him.In the mid-to-late 1800s, cattle drives sometimes took three to four months, and once the drive began, there were no stores for hundreds of miles. All the food and supplies needed for the trip were carried on two-wheeled carts. Usually, the cowboy's food was boring and unappetizing.Goodnight went to work and solved the problem. His invention of a mobile kitchen, the chuck wagon (四轮马车), got its name from the cowboy word for food, "chuck." Goodnight took an old army wagon and rebuilt it with Osage orange, a wood so tough that Indians used it to make bows. The wagon's iron axles were stronger than the wooden ones found on standard wagons, and the wider wheels lasted longer. Besides food, coffee sugar and eating utensils, it held everything from first-aid supplies to needles and thread. It even contained cooking stove.The first chuck wagon was an instant success. Eighteen cowhands joined Goodnight and his partner, Oliver Loving, to drive the cattle to New Mexico for a handsome profit. The route they took—later called the Goodnight-Loving Trail—became one of the most heavily used cattle trails in the Southwest.The chuck wagon soon was the backbone of all successful cattle drives. Other ranchers created theirown moving kitchens, and eventually the Studebaker Company produced chuck wagons that sold for $75 to $100 apiece, about $1,000 today.The chuck wagon was much more than a mobile kitchen. Sometimes called "the trail drive's mother ship," it was like a magnet that drew the men together. The wagon and the ground around it were the cowboy's home. There he enjoyed hot meals, a warm fire, and good companionship. He could also get a bandage, a haircut, or horse liniment for his sore muscles. And there, under the stars and around the chuck wagon, he crawled into his bedroll each night.（1）（2分）Who does the underlined word "entice" in paragraph 1 mean?A．Inform B．Direct C．Enable D．Attract（2）（2分）Why were cattle drives in the mid-to-late 1800s so tough?A．All the cattle were carried on two-wheeled vehicles.B．Fresh food supplies were hard to find on the drive.C．There were not enough cowboys to drive the cattle.D．There was no place to store food and necessary supplies.（3）（2分）What do we know about Goodnight's chuck wagon from the text?A．It was stronger than the ordinary wagons.B．It was mainly used to provide first aid.C．It could be changed into a sleeping area.D．It was sold to other ranchers by Goodnight.（4）（2分）What is the best title for the text?A．The Cowboys' ProblemB．Goodnight-Loving TrailC．The Cowboys' Home on WheelsD．Exciting Cattle Drives in the West4．（8分）阅读理解Depending on what language you speak, your eye perceives colours – and the world – differently than someone else.The human eye can physically perceive millions of colours. But we don't all recognise these colours in the same way. Some people can't see differences in colours – so called colour blindness – due to a defect or absence of the cells in the retina that are sensitive to high levels of light: the cones. But the distributionand density of these cells also varies across people with ‘normal vision', causing us all to experience the same colour in slightly different ways.Language affects our colour perception too. Different languages and cultural groups also categorize colours differently. Some languages like Dani, spoken in Papua New Guinea, and Bassa, spoken in Liberia and Sierra Leone, only have two terms, dark and light. Dark roughly translates as cool in those languages, and light as warm. So colours like black, blue, and green are glossed as cool colours, while lighter colours like white, red, orange and yellow are glossed as warm colours. Other cultural groups have no word for "colours" at all.Remarkably, most of the world's languages have five basic colour terms. As well as dark, light, and red, these languages typically have a term for yellow, and a term that refers to both blue and green. That is, these languages do not have separate terms for "green" and "blue" but use one term to describe both colours. Also, Russian, Greek, Turkish and many other languages have two separate terms for blue – one referring exclusively to darker shades, and one referring to lighter shades.The way we perceive colours can also change during our lifetime. Greek speakers, who have two fundamental colour terms to describe light and dark blue, are more likely to see these two colours as the same after living for long periods of time in the UK. There, these two colours are described in English by the same fundamental colour term: blue.Different languages can influence our perceptions in all areas of life, not only colour. Scientists are now investigating how different languages changes the way we perceive everyday objects. Ultimately, this happens because learning a new language is like giving our brain the ability to interpret the world differently （1）（2分）What is mainly discussed in paragraph 2?A．The medical causes of people's colour blindness.B．The different types of colours that people can see.C．The physical causes of variation in people's vision.D．The cultural reasons for differences in colour perception.（2）（2分）What colours are commonly referred to using the same word by many language groups?A．Yellow and red.B．Warm and cold.C．Dark and light.D．Blue and green.（3）（2分）What do we know about the Russian language?A．It classifies colours as either warm or cold.B．It has more than one word for the colour blue.C．It mainly describes objects in terms of their colour.D．It has only five basic terms to describe colours.（4）（2分）Why does the author mention Greek speakers living in England?A．To illustrate how social context can affect our senses.B．To provide an example of cultural miscommunication.C．To highlight the variation in the words used to describe colour.D．To demonstrate how languages can combine to produce new words.二、任务型阅读（共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分） (共5题；共10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。
