He handed me the rod（鱼杆）and taught me how to throw my line into the water.The sun warmed us. We sat and talked. “I remember when I coul d sit here and watch the fish swimming in the water,” he said. “Sometimes, they’d jump out and land beside me. I didn’t even need a fishing rod then.”“We have to be patient,” he continued. “The fish may come or may not. It doesn’t matter. We are out in the sun. It’s a beautiful day. If it rained, we couldn’t be here. We’re lucky to have the warmth of the sun.”He leaned（倚靠）back against a tree. “Yes, it’s a great day,” he said.I watched our bobbers（浮子）. No fish pull ed them under the water that day. It didn’t matter. I was with Grandpa. I felt grown up. Just being with him was special.He was well liked by everyone. He had worked hard all his life for what little he had, but he could still find time to laugh. I wanted to be like him when I grew up.He was an amazing man.

Without snakes, perhaps we would find mice everywhere, Most of us, however, woul d rather see a mouse than a snake, The poison argument( 毒性的争论)is a strong one, Some snakes are poisonous, and this causes people’s death , However, the poisonous snakes are only a small number. We can’t say all the snakes are bad just because of a few dangerous ones. And what d o we do with the people who really like snakes? They like snakes even more strongly than we dislike them. These people learn about them, find them out, and watch them carefully, Why? The only reason I can think of is that these people are open-minded, They are abl e to put asid e differences and welcome the snake as a friend.Whatever the reason for our like or dislike, snakes d o something good in the circle of life.They would prefer to be left alone, and that is what we should d o, If you’re lucky, you might not run across more than a few of them in a lifetime, That would be fine with most of us.15．How d oes the writer d escribe the appearance of snakes?A．Something even without legs.B．Something not popular among people.C．A person who is neutral.D．A person who cares about nothing.16．Which of the foll owing shows that most peopl e dislike snakes?A．They wel come snakes as their best friends.B．They would rather see a mouse than a snake.C．They wonder why snakes can cause great fear.D．They learn about snakes and watch them carefully.17．Although some snakes are poisonous, _______.A．they cause many people’s deathB．they control the population of miceC．they are not dangerous to peopl eD．they are only a small number18．The last paragraph seems to tell us that the writer _______.A．dislikes snakesB．has the best luckC．l oves snakesD．prefers to be l eft al oneThe Westwood Mid dl e School has d ecid ed to hol d a blood drive (献血活动), and you can help.Help with The Blood DriveThe School is holding a bl ood drive for teachers, parents, and town people.

This is exactly what happened with Du Haotian, a student from Shaanxi province. The potato chips Du is making are called guoba, usually made of millet rice（小米）, but here Du chose col ored potatoes as the ingredients（原料）.Zhenba, in the south of Shaanxi, has been trying to sell high-quality（质量）potatoes. But the sales are at a l ow l evel. Du, a stud ent of Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University, together with his team, introduced col orful potatoes and mad e them into crispy, fried potato snacks. After trying again and again, it gradually turned into a popular snack at Du’sunive rsity. At the end of last year, Du’s team set up their own factory in the village to plant and produce the snacks locally. At the beginning of this year, the production line was put into use.However, whil e helping the local community, Du was under pressure to graduate. Although he was supposed to graduate in June 2020, Du offered to put off graduation for one year. Du said the production line project was still on the way and he wanted to live up to the expectations of the villagers. “A lot of my friends a nd teachers told me not to do that. But if the factory is built but does not run well, it woul d be against my original intention（初心）.” Finally, Du’s teacher supported him.Recently, Du’s potato snacks took part in a college food competition. His product w as once in the first place with the support of many local villagers, which touched Du. “Rural revitalization（乡村振兴）depends on industrial revitalization. I want to make an effort with my hard work in this process.”22．What’s Du’s guoba made of?A．millet rice B．crispy corn C．sweet potatoes D．col orful potatoes23．How did Du’s team help potato sal es in Zhenba?A．They planted high-quality potatoes.

Well, some people can’t recognize this many because of colorblindness. If someone iscol orblind, that means he can’t see as many col ors as others –or, in rare cases, can’t see col ors at all.Thankfully, special glasses have already been made to help fix some types ofcol orblindness. Now, according to a recent research, scientists have brought this solution one step further. Karepov and Ellenbogen, engineers from Israel have found a way to apply this technology to contact lenses (隐形眼镜). This method is so creative because it can solve many different kinds of visual (视力的) problems.People are able to see color because of how the eye is structured. At the back of our eyes, there’re three different kinds of cells that absorb (吸收) light waves. When light waves are absorbed, the cells send a message to the brain for the image to be processed.If something is wrong with these cells, this can cause probl ems when the brain processes the image. One of the most common types of colorblindness is red-greencol orblindness. People who have this specific type of visual imperfection have difficulty telling apart the col ors red and green.“It would influence simple daily routines such as telling the col ors of traffic lights,” Karepov explained. He also stressed the importance of using this finding to create special contact lenses instead of relying on col or-correcting glasses.Whet her you prefer to wear glasses or contacts, it’s nice to know that people who are col orblind will soon be able to choose between the two, as well.31．The writer leads in the topic by _______ at the beginning of the passage.A．describing a fact B．listing a numberC．asking a question D．giving an example32．The second paragraph mainly tells us about _______ colorblindness.A．the main cause of B．the different kinds ofC．a simpl e tool to find D．a new method to fix33．The und erlined word “imperfection” in Parag raph 4 is cl osest in meaning to _______.A．experience B．weakness C．language D．examination34．The overall tone (总基调) of the passage is _______.A．personal and d oubtful B．sad but humorousC．scientific and promising D．informative but meaninglessOne of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. Peopl e d o this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary to d o this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.1.” What’s the matter?” “I went to a party last night, so I…”2.”I feel so tired these days.” “I think you’d better…”3.”Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most…”You can see from the above three examples that the context helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So “guessing” is very important in understanding English, especially spoken English.35．This passage tells us mainly about ________.A．the importance of “guessing” in learning a foreign language.B．how to guess what one is going to talk about.C．Some examples of right guessing.D．how important it is to guess all the time.36．From the context, we can see maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 1 is ________.A．…so I didn’t have a good time.”B．…so I went to bed very late.”C．…so I felt unhappy.”D．…so I got up very early.”37．Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 2 is ________.A．“I think you’d better have a good rest and take good care of yourself.”B．“I think you’d better have something to drink.”C．“I think you’d better get some help from your friends.”D．“I think you’d better to be more careful.”38．From the passage we can infer that guessing is ________ in l earning a foreign language.A．the only wayB．more important in spoken English than in written English.C．more important than any other wayD．more important in written English than in spoken EnglishMr. Smith is fifty years old.

Since many foreign tourists have known little about, here is some information about it.An end and new beginningBy the time of Shuangjiang. most of the harvesting (丰收) work is already completed in northern China .Farmers are now able to enjoy a period of rest.But in the south .the harvest is still in its best time, as farmers have to take home the sweet potatoes before they are destroyed by the coming frost.Across the country, after year of farming, now it is time to pl ow the fields and prepare the soil for next year.Enjoy the flaming red mapl e leaves (枫叶)Autumn might be the most col orful season in China with the leaves turning fromgol den yell ow to red.

These imports also include solid waste, such as plastics, paper and metals. They mainly come from countries like the United States, the United Kingd om and Japan.These goods will no l onger be imported next year. China will ban(禁止) all imports of solid waste starting from Jan 1, 2021, said the Ministry of Ecol ogy and Environment(MEE).Why d oes China import this waste? In 1980, China’s economy(经济) was gradually taking off because of the reform and opening-up policy(改革开放政策). The country’s factories didn’t have enough raw materials(原材料) at that time. Therefore, China began importing solid waste. After being processed, it can be turned into materials that are used to make other products.For years, China has been the worl d’s largest importer of solid waste, with about 45 million tons arriving each year. Countries that send this waste to China pay about $25(163 yuan) to $50 per ton for recycling, China News Agency reported.Although the waste has helped develop China’s economy, it has brought more risks than benefits. Waste that can’t be used is either burned or buried(填埋). The water used to wash the waste is all owed to fl ow into nearby rivers. This has polluted the air, soil and water, posing a risk to public health, China Daily reported.China has made some efforts to ban waste since 2017. From 2017 to 2019, imports of solid waste fell by 68 percent, dropping from 42 million to 13 million tons, Xinhua reported.What about China’s waste?China can produce enough raw materials to support its economy now. However, it is also producing a rapidly-increasing amount of waste.In 2019, the government worked out a guideline for the creation of zero solid waste programs. These programs have been carried out in 11 cities and five districts(区域), including Shenzhen in Guangdong province and Weihai in Shandong province.50．After Jan 1, 2021, what will no l onger be all owed in China?A．Importing plastic products from abroad.B．Buying solid waste from abroad.C．Selling metals to other countries.D．Producing solid waste.51．What d o we know from Paragraphs 3 and 4?A．Many factories used to use solid waste to make products.B．About 45 million tons of waste are processed worl dwide each year.C．China has made a l ot of money by importing waste.D．It costs very littl e money to recycl e solid waste.52．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A．How solid waste has helped China’s devel opment.B．What we can do to protect ourselves from waste.C．What risks solid waste brought to China.D．How solid waste should be dealt with.53．According to the last paragraph, which word d escribes China’s efforts to ban waste?A．wasteful B．effective(有效的) C．chall enging D．expensiveBeijing Opera, also called Peking Opera, is our national opera. It came into being (形成) after 1790 and has a history of over 200 years. Its music and singing came from Xipi and Erhuang in Anhui and Hubei. The Guangxu Emperor (帝王) and Empress Dowager Cixi were also crazy about Beijing Opera and helped d evelop the art form.There are four main rol es in Beijing Opera: Sheng, Dan, Jing, Chou. Sheng is the leading male (男性) actor. For example, a Wusheng is a soldier or fighter. A Xiaosheng is a young man.A Laosheng is an old man with beard (胡子). Dan is the female (女性) role. Jing, mostly mal e,is the face painted rol e and Chou is the comedy (喜剧) actor or cl own (小丑).Beijing Opera is full of famous stories, beautiful facial paintings, wond erful gestures and fighting. Some of the stories are from history books, but most are from famous novels. The people in the stories usually can’t agree with each other. They become angry, unhappy, sad and l onely. Sometimes they are afraid and worried. Then they find a way to make peace with (与……讲和) each other. Everyone is usually happy in the end.Beijing Opera is an important part of Chinese culture. In China it used to be popular with old people while young people didn’t like it very muc h. However, more young people arebecoming interested in it nowadays. And more people around the world are learning about Beijing Opera’s special singing, acting and facial paintings.54．Beijing Opera's singing is from _________.A．Anhui and Hubei B．Beijing and AnhuiC．the history book D．the literature55．The second paragraph of the passage is about the ________ of Beijing Opera.A．stories B．roles C．gestures D．paintings56．From the passage, we know the role Chou most probably has a(n) ________ feature.A．honest B．funny C．boring D．serious57．You can most probably read this kind of passage ________.A．in a geography textbook B．in a science and technol ogy magazineC．in a business report D．on a culture website58．Which is TRUE according to the passage?A．Peking Opera is full of different gestures.B．There are only four roles in Beijing Opera.C．Beijing Opera is the most popular in the worl d.D．The people in the story usually are in agreement.参考答案1．D2．C3．C4．D5．B6．C7．B8．A9．C10．C11．C12．A13．A14．B15．A16．B 17．D18．C19．B20．A21．D22．D23．B24．C25．A26．B27．B28．B29．C30．C31．C 32．D33．B34．C35．A 36．B 37．A 38．B 39．C40．B41．A42．B43．C44．D45．D 46．D47．D48．B49．B50．B51．A52．C53．B54．A55．B56．B57．D58．A。

Dr. Eyck，a surgeon(外科医生)，had a phone call from Dr. Haydon at the hospital in Clans Falls. The surgeon wasasked to go there at once to operate on a very sick boy who shot himself while playing with a gun.The doctor was soon on his way to Clans Falls. It was 60 miles away.And it was snowing heavily in the sky. The surgeon thought he could get there before 12 o'clock. A few minutes later，the doctor was stopped by a man in an old black coat.

Then the money went to helping the poor in the area.Others believe Boxing Day started about 300 years ago when some rich people had Christmas feasts (盛宴). They offered lots of food to their guests. Because many servants (仆人）were needed to make and serve the food, they could not celebrate Christmas with their families. To thank them, the rich people would put food into boxes for their servants to take home.Now Boxing Day has become a public holiday in some countries. Some people spend the day boxing up old or unwanted things and donating（捐赠）them to the poor.

Its old meaning is used toexpress a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed,the world has had many different meanings. “Cool”can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It’s cool.”You may think, “He’s so cool,”when you see your favourite footballer.We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new”or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked herstudents to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s so cool.”Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quiteimportant to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.6.

Worlds like theseare planets. But there are other stars, other suns, not only thousands ofthem, but millions of them. Do different stars have planets? We can seethe planets round our own sun. but we haven’t been anymore. The stars are too far away from us. Stars give out light, but the planets don’t have any light of their own. So we can’t see them. They are too far, and too dark. Still, we can tell that some stars have planets. While a big planetgoes round, it pulls its star to one side. And sometimes we can see this.Then we know that the star has a planet. For example, Barnard’s Star is a small red star. And it is the quickest star in the universe. But sometimes itmoves slower, and then quicker again. We have known Bernard’s Star for many years, and now we are sure it has a planet.16. A star is a large body in the universe.

However, it may become a thing of the past.China's educational and health authorities (当局) have announced to close convenience stores in all schools across the country. The regulation (规定) requires that schools should record each meal and solve any food problem as soon as possible. It also requires schools to try to make sure students follow a healthy diet. Parents can also eat with students at school and give suggestions to the school on food safety and nutrition.The regulation caused heated discussions. Many students were sad. They thought that without convenience stores, their school life will be less interesting. However, many parents expressed support for the regulation. The father of a junior school student said that cheap, low-quality snacks sold at these stores were bad for children's health. A teacher said that students ran to shops to buy snacks as soon as a class was over, which influenced the normal teaching order.And in fact many foreign countries have their own ways to make students eat healthily. For example, many parents in Australia volunteer in schools. They do their best to see that their children are served nutritious food. In Japan, there is food and nutrition education. Students eat lunch in their classrooms, where they learn about diet and nutrition, and Japanese food culture. They also take turns serving meals to each other, cleaning up, and recycling. This helps children get "a sense of thankfulness "and "appreciate (尊重) foods and social manners". （1）The reading is about ____________.A.how to serve good food to studentsB.how to make sure that students eat healthilyC.the disadvantages of the school convenience storesD.the regulation of closing the school convenience stores（2）What does the regulation require schools to make sure?A.Students eat with parents.B.Students follow a healthy diet.C.Teachers solve all food problems.D.Parents record each meal and give advice.（3）According to Paragraph 3, ____________ support the regulation.A.students and parentsB.students and teachersC.parents and teachersD.students, parents and teachers（4）The underlined word "nutritious" in Paragraph 4 means" ____________" in Chinese.A.有营养的B.美味的C.昂贵的D.便宜的答案1. （1）B（2）D（3）A（4）B（5）A2. （1）B（2）A（3）D（4）B（5）C3. （1）D（2）B（3）B（4）D（5）A4. （1）D（2）C（3）B（4）A5. （1）D（2）B（3）C（4）A。

This made it easier to carry heavy thingsand to travel long distances.For hundreds of years after that there werefew inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s, theworld started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world.People didn’t have to explore (探测) much any more. They began to work instead to make life better.In the second half of the 19th century manygreat inventions were made. Among them werethe camera, the light and theradio. These all became a big part of our life today.The first part of the 20th century saw moregreat inventions. The helicopter in 1909. Movies with sound in 1926. Thecomputer in 1928. And jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a newmaterial was first made. Nylon came in 1935. It changed the kind of clothespeople wear.By this time most people had a very goodlife. Man has a desire to explore again. The world was known to man but thestars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made thefirst step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries,including China and Japan, have made their steps into space.In 1969 man took his biggest step from theearth. Americans first walked on the moon.

Most people want themselves to be happy for ever, but few know how to find happiness. Others say if you own lots of money and success, you will be happy. However, money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. A famous a Greek thinker, Aristotle, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” That’s to say, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future. For example, getting into college or getting a good job, which we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others.Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone.

They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland，but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.One night，the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight，my men,”he said. “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die.”They were all very tired，so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty，but they，too，were very tired，and one by one，also fell asleep.The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside，taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more，the war would be over. Suddenly，one of them put his foot on a thistle(蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment，they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people like it. But the people of Scotland liked it so much that they made it their national flower.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。
