And Will doesn’t plan to make money from his creation. His purpose is to get vaccines to people who need them, which is why he won’t be trying to get a patent(专利). Will’s Isobar has won him the James Dyson Award that challenges young people to “design something that solves a problem”.Present methods of transporting vaccines can lead to the vaccines freezing(冻住) before reaching their places in developing countries, but the Isobar keeps a temperature of 2 to 8 degrees for 30 days.Will’s invention is expected to save the lives of million people across the world, a number he says is “amazing”. Having now finished college education, he is making an effort to take the Isobar into production. “I would be hands-on, all the way through it, knowing that it works,” he says. “It’s amazing to just give it a go, even in my back yard, and see the potential(潜能) of the technology.”The product has been designed to transport vaccines, but already Will sees the possibility for other medical uses in the developing world and beyond. “Blood donations, organ transplants(器官移植) —if they get trapped in traffic, you still use cold-bags that really aren’t good enough for a long time,” he says.There is also a possible, non-medical use for the Isobar. “It would be a great thing to take on a five-day trip where you have no power,” he says. But he insists vaccine transportation is the primary function(功能) of his invention.26. What’s the advantage of the Isobar for sending vaccines in developing countriesA. It can save more energy.B. It can send more vaccines at a time.C. It can keep vaccines in an ideal condition.D. It can transport vaccines at a faster speed.27. The James Dyson Award is presented to _________.A. old scientists who have developed modern technologyB. young men who have solved problems with their designsC. doctors who have saved people’s lives in developing countriesD. college students who have got patents for their creative inventions28. What is the passage mainly aboutA. The production of a new fridge and its future.B. The invention of a new fridge and its inventor.C. The transportation of vaccines and its problem.D. The introduction of an award and its new winner.CI was bullied quite badly in high school. A kid would try to make me feel terrible in every way he knew. For example, he would hit me in the head, call me ugly and stupid, make fun of me and — of course — threaten(威胁) to hit me harder if I ever fought back. It was like his daily task.And it was my daily task to just get through the day. What can I say It made my world very small because that was my main focus — just surviving. Everything else fell by the wayside. Unluckily, that included any form of social life. So not only was my world tiny, it was lonely.Looking back to that time — which was about 11 years ago — my biggest mistake was not bringing anyone in to that world of mine. I was too proud, and embarrassed(尴尬的), to get help. I would rather not face the fact that I needed help because in my mind, that would mean that the bully won. It would also mean that I was weak. Let me just say this — bullying someone is a weak choice. The only reason they come after you is because they think you won’t do anything about it. Does that make anyone strong NO. Be stronger — reach out to a parent, a teacher or a friend. Admit(承认) you need help.You can put it like this: Somebody who is trying to make himself or herself seem important has bullied me. Why Simply because I am nice and I haven’t done anything about it yet. Well, I hate this. I have basic human rights. It is just not OK. How do I manage this the right way I don’t want the pain cycle to continue and I don’t want t o become someone I don’t want to be.I will close by saying this — I am OK! I am not just surviving. I am enjoying my life. I graduated from college with good grades, by the way (being stupid wasa lie…it is all a lie). You don’t have to wait to live. D o something today.29. The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refers to(指) _________.A. getting along with the writerB. having a difficult time at schoolC. making friends with other studentsD. hurting the writer with force and threat30. The writer suggests _________ to fight bullies.A. getting used to the pain as soon as possibleB. looking for help from parents, teachers and friendsC. increasing the understanding of basic human rightsD. keeping it a secret inside and reducing your social life31. The writer writes the passage mainly to _________.A. share his thoughts on dealing with bulliesB. say that he regrets being hurt badly at schoolC. describe how he changed his weak personalityD. show how thankful he was to those who helped himDImagine you are walking through the woods and you see a small dog.It looks cute and friendly. You move up to pet the dog. Suddenly itbarks and tries to bite you. The dog no longer seems cute and you feelafraid and possibly angry. Then, as the wind blows, the leaves on theground are carried away and you see the dog has one of its legs caught in a trap. Now, you take pity on the dog. You know it becomes unfriendly because it is in pain.We all judge(评判) others all the time. It might be over small things, like a workmate who takes too long of a lunch break. Or it might be over bigger matters, such as a person who behaves selfishly or hurts our feelings. There are many reasons why we judge others. It is human nature to find a way to survive. When we see a dog (or a person) that might bite us, of course we feel threatened(威胁). We become nervous, want to fight back and are unable to see the possible reasons for another’s behavior.Although judgment is a natural reaction(反应), try to catch yourself before you speak, for you can’t get your words back. Make a short stop. Try to change your thought into a positive(正面的) one. After all, like that dog in the trap, we really don’t know the reasons for someone’s behavior.When someone disagrees with us or somehow makes our life difficult, remember that it’s usually not about us. It may be about their pain or struggle(挣扎). Whynot give others the right to express their doubt “Never underestimate the pain of a person,” Will Smith said, “becaus e in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are better at hiding it than others.”32. The writer talks about the dog in the first paragraph mainly to _________.A. give an exampleB. make a comparisonC. share a good storyD. set the background33. According to the writer, we usually judge others _________.A. over big matters instead of small onesB. after thinking carefully about their situationC. about the real reasons behind their behaviorD. for our own survival when feeling threatened34. What does the underlined sentence “Never underestimate the pain of a person” meanA. Never believe others have pain.B. Never pay attention to others’ pain.C. Never think others’ pain is bigger than it really is.D. Never think others’ pain is smaller than it really is.35. What is the best title of the passageA. The Best Way to JudgeB. Too Late to JudgeC. Think Twice Before You JudgeD. You’ve Got a Reason to Judge四、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

on our hands during lockdown，many of us have entertained the idea of knowing more about the world．Learning a foreign language is a good choice．Here are a few examples，in order of time it takes people to learn them．Latin languages （about 600 hours）The popular Latin languages ﹣Italian，French，Spanish and Portuguese ﹣require about 600 hours to learn．Of these，Spanish and Italian are the easiest for English speakers to learn．They are followed by Portuguese and finally French．Latin languages share many words with English．However，those shared words look or sound similar，but have different meanings over time．Greek （1，100 hours）Modern Greek is maybe the easiest language to learn that uses a different alphabet（字母表）．It is also a language that has contributed many words to English．Indeed，the president of Greece once gave two speeches at an international meeting that included just Greek loan words（外来词）as well as the unavoidable basic English．Japanese （2，200 hours）Counting objects in Japanese depends on whether they are long and thin （like "roads"），small and round （like "apples"），thin and flat （like "sheets of paper"），and hundreds more examples．What Japanese you speak also depends on your gender（性别）．There's a "rough" language for men and a more "ladylike" language for women，but you must understand both．Chinese （2，200 hours）Each Chinese written word is hardly understandable when spoken between a Mandarin （普通话）speaker in Beijing and a Cantonese speaker in Guangdong．If you think that's strange，consider our number system：the symbol "2" is widely understood but it's pronounced "two" in English and "duex" in French．（1）For an English speaker，which of the following is the easiest to learn？DA．Japanese．B．French．C．Greek．D．Italian．（2）What can we learn from the passage？CA．The same word in two languages always has the same meaning．B．The English language and the Greek language use the same alphabet．C．Objects are counted differently in Japanese according to their shapes．D．A Mandarin speaker and a Cantonese speaker write Chinese differently．（3）The purpose of this passage is to tell English speakers C．A．how to learn some foreign languagesB．why they must learn a foreign languageC．some information on the difficulty of foreign languages D．not to choose an Asian language to learn as it is too hard解析：本文讲述了学习一门外语是一个不错的选择．以下是几个例子，按照人们学习这些语言的时间顺序排列．参考答案：（1）D 细节理解题．根据"拉丁语"部分：Spanish and Italian are the easiest for English speakers to learn．西班牙语和意大利语是讲英语的人最容易学的．结合选项可知，对于一个说英语的人来说，意大利语最容易学．故选D．（2）C 细节推测题．根据"日语"部分：Counting objects in Japanese depends on whether they are long and thin （like "roads"），small and round （like "apples"），thin and flat （like "sheets of paper"），日文中计算物体的数量取决于它们是长而细（像"路"），小而圆（像"苹果"），薄而平（像"纸"）．可以推测出，在日语中，物体根据形状的不同而计数．故选C．（3）C 推理判断题．根据首段Learning a foreign language is a good choice．Here are a few examples，in order of time it takes people to learn them．学习一门外语是一个不错的选择．以下是几个例子，按照人们学习这些语言的时间顺序排列．结合全文可以推测出，这篇文章的目的是告诉说英语的人关于外语难度的一些信息．故选C．点拨：先浏览所给的问题以及选择项，然后带着问题在通读原文的基础上快速地找到答案，然后再回过头来检查一遍，确保万无一失13．（6分）Influenza，or flu（流感），is a type of virus．It spreads from one person to another quickly．When someone who has the flu coughs or sneezes，little droplets from their lungs （肺）spread out into the air．Anyone nearby can get sick．Even aperson who touches something with the virus and then touches his or her mouth，eyes，or nose，can become infected（感染）．The outbreak of the 1918 influenza infected about 500 million people worldwide．It killed from 20 million to 50 million people．It was first seen in Europe，the United States，and parts of Asia．It then spread quickly around the world．Many people who became sick were young，healthy adults．At the time，no treatments worked in the prevention of the spread of the killer flu．People were ordered to wear masks．Schools，theaters and other public places were closed．When the first wave（波＞in the spring of 1918 hit，it didn't seem serious．People who were infected felt the usual flu symptoms（症状），which are chills，fevers，and feeling tired．Those who got sick generally got better after several days．Not many died．However，a second，highly contagious （传染的）wave of influenza appeared in the fall of that same year．Victims died shortly after they were infected ﹣within hours or days．Their skin turned blue and their lungs were filled with liquid（液体），making it very difficult to breathe．By the summer of 1919，the flu pandemic（大流行病）came to an end．Sick people had either got well or died．Almost 90 years later，in 2008，researchers announced they'd discoveredwhy the 1918 flu was so deadly．The flu virus inflamed （使…恶化）the lungs，causing them to fill with liquid．Since 1918，there have been several other influenza pandemics，although none has been quite as deadly．（1）What information about the 1918 flu is mentioned in the passage？AA．The reason why it was so deadly．B．The reason why it ended．C．The change it caused to medical research．D．The place in which it was last seen．（2）All the people that were infected with the 1918 flu D．A．had blue skin that led to their deathB．had touched someone with the virusC．died as their lungs were filled with liquidD．had the virus in their bodies that made them sick（3）Which of the following statements about the 1918 flu is TRUE according to the passage？DA．Wearing a mask was the best way to treat it．B．A younger person had a lower risk of being infccted with it．C．People expected the coming of its second wave，but couldn't stop it．D．It was deadlier than any other influenza pandemic in modern history．解析：本文主要讲了流感的传播方式以及1918年全世界流感爆发的详细情况．参考答案：细节理解题．（1）A．题目问在文中有关1918年流感提到了什么信息，根据第四段Almost 90 years later，in 2008，researchers announced they'd discovered why the 1918 flu was so deadly．可知文中提到了1918年流感致命的原因，故选A．（2）D．题目意为感染1918流感的所有人_____，根据第四段By the summer of 1919，the flu pandemic（大流行病）came to an end．Sick people had either got well or died．Almost 90 years later，in 2008，researchers announced they'd discovered why the 1918 flu was so deadly．The flu virus inflamed （使…恶化）the lungs，causing them to fill with liquid．可知感染了这种病毒的人使得肺部恶化，因此判断得1918年流感的人都感染了这个流感病毒．故选D．（3）D．题目问根据文章有关1918年流感的陈述哪一项是正确的，根据最后一段Since 1918，there have been several other influenza pandemics，although none has been quite as deadly．可知自从1918年以来也出现过一些其他的流感，但是都没有这次致命，因此判断自从1918年以来，即现代历史中它比其他任何一种流感都要致命，故选D．点拨：通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查．14．（6分）"What's wrong，Carina？" Collin asked．"Homesick again？"His sister nodded．"Yeah，me too．" Collin sighed（叹息）．Their family had moved to the new place nearly four months ago．The new place was housed inside a huge transparent dome （透明的圆屋顶）．It still didn't feel like home．"I miss my friends，" Carina said sadly．"And green grass and swimming，and everything．I even miss the sound of rain on the roof（屋顶）．""Worst of all，" Carina continued，"my birthday is in two days，and I don't think Mom and Dad are planning anything special．They're too busy．""She's probably right，" thought Collin．Life here was very busy for scientists like their parents．He doubted if they had time to plan a party．And how could they anyway？Things such as balloons and birthday candles didn't exist here．They didn't even have enough materials to make a cake．"Don't worry．" Collin put an arm around Carina's shoulder．Collin walked toward the agricultural center，where his mom worked．He found her taking notes on some tall tube﹣like plants．"What are those？" he asked．"Bamboo plants，" said Mom．"They're strong and grow fast．They make good building materials．""May I have a piece？""Sure．" Mom handed one to him and made a note on her notebook．The next day，Collin made tiny holes into the piece of bamboo and put small nails（钉子）into each hole．He poured a handful of pebbles（鹅卵石）inside and covered the open ends．Collin held the bamboo piece carefully as he hurried home．He hid it behind his back and opened the front door．To his surprise，Mom and Dad were home early from work．Mom was carrying something that looked like a cake．He looked closer and realized Mom had made a cake with dried apples and cinnamon（肉桂皮）sugar．A real treat，on the Moon．Collin handed his sister the bamboo rod．"Happy birthday!""What is it？" Carina asked，looking at it curiously．"A rain stick，" said Collin．"Whenever you turn it over，the pebbles fall around the nails and it sounds like rain．"Carina turned the stick，and the room was filled with a sound like rain drumming on a roof．"It's Moon Rain!" she said．"It makes me feel like I'm home．" She smiled at Collin and turned the rain stick over again．（1）What may be the best title of this passage？B A．Bamboo PlantsB．Moon RainC．Homesick Again!D．United Family（2）What can we know from the passage？DA．This passage is part of a science fiction written for scientific research．B．The family moved to the new place in order to do some sightseeing．C．Their new home was on a dry land on the earth far from their old one．D．Carina didn't think her parents would plan anything special for her birthday．（3）Which of the following can best describe Collin？BA．Careful and brave．B．Caring and creative．C．Generous and intellectual．D．Romantic and popular．解析：文章主要讲了Carina想家，Collin弄了一场月亮雨缓解她想家的情绪．参考答案：（1）B 主旨大意题．根据"It's Moon Rain!" she said．"It makes me feel like I'm home．" She smiled at Collin and turned the rain stick over again"是月雨!"她说．"这让我有家的感觉．"她对科林笑了笑，又把雨棍翻了一遍，结合文章内容，可知文章主要讲了Carina想家，Collin弄了一场月亮雨缓解她想家的情绪，B月亮雨，符合题意，故答案为：B．（2）D 细节理解题．根据"my birthday is in two days，and I don't think Mom and Dad are planning anything special．They're too busy．再过两天就是我的生日了，我想爸爸妈妈并没有什么特别的计划．他们太忙了，可知卡琳娜认为她的父母不会为她的生日安排任何特别的事情，故答案为：D．（3）B 细节归纳题．根据"A rain stick，" said Collin．"Whenever you turn it over，the pebbles fall around the nails and it sounds like rain，结合文章内容，可知Collin因为关心妹妹，为妹妹制作了一场月球雨，可见他很关心妹妹，而且很有创造力，故答案为：B．点拨：阅读理解题通常从细节，文章主旨，推测词组大意几个方面考查学生对文章的理解，做题时注意找到文章出处，做到有理有据．15．（8分）Looking at art should be like walking in the countryside．You may not know exactly where you are，what bird is making that strange sound，or what the hill ahead of you is called，but that's part of the fun of it．You don't need to know these things to feel the beauty of nature．Of course，if you do know your birds，trees and local history，a walk can be more attractive．Yet such knowledge comes slowly．It is picked up through experience．A true knowledge of nature cannot just be given to you through an app on your phone．Imagine pointing your phone at the hill and getting plenty of information on screen．Would that enrich your dreamy walk or ruin（毁灭）it？Braggarts enjoy an app that allows them to show off their knowledge，for example，about baroque（巴洛克风格的）paintings．In fact，apps in museums try to provide on﹣screen art history at once just to encourage people to read their phones instead of looking at paintings．It is a mistaken idea that you need to be spoon﹣fed（灌输）amazing facts about a work of art in order to appreciate（欣赏）it．Our first experience of a work of art should be raw（自然状态的），unguided，and a bit puzzling，like following a path in the woods．Later，you might choose to do some personal research into the work．It can further increase your enjoyment and appreciation for it．Yet it is best done when you're away from the art itself，so that even when you return，the work still feels fresh．Anyone who thinks knowing some dates and details makes you better understand a work of art is wrong．We all need to put aside our screens and our supposed knowledge when we look at art．Let the paintings flow in；let your intuitions（直觉）fly off．Art is a journey in the wilderness or it is nothing at all．（1）What does the writer mainly want to say？BA．Art is best with the help of apps．B．Art is best when hidden in mystery．C．Art is nothing compared with nature．D．Art is nothing when details and facts are known．（2）The underlined word "braggarts" refers to（指）A．A．people who like showing offB．people who like baroque paintingsC．those who are good at appreciating artD．those who are good at painting with phones（3）What's the main idea of Paragraph 4？AA．How to appreciate a work of art．B．How to personal research into a work of art．C．How to keep your feelings about a work of art fresh．D．How to be spoon﹣fed amazing facts about a work of art．（4）what can we infer（推断）from the passage？C A．Because of apps，art will be ruined in the future．B．A good piece of art is usually made about nature．C．Research work and intuitions can both help understand art．D．Museums are not supposed to allow the use of mobile phones．解析：文章主要讲了如何去欣赏艺术．参考答案：（1）B 内容理解题．根据段落4 Our first experience of a work of art should be raw，unguided，and a bit puzzling，like following a path in the woods．Later，you might choose to do some personal research into the work．我们对一件艺术品的第一次体验应该是原始的、没有引导的、有点令人困惑的，就像在树林里走小路一样，结合文章内容，可知作者认为隐藏在神秘之中的艺术是最好的，故答案为：B．（2）A 词语理解题．根据段落3 allows them to show off their knowledge可以让他们炫耀自已知识的应用，可知此处是讲爱吹牛的人喜欢一款可以让他们炫耀自已知识的应用，Braggarts指代爱炫耀的人，故答案为：A．（3）A 段落理解题．根据段落4 It is a mistaken idea that youneed to be spoon﹣fed amazing facts about a work of art in order to appreciate（欣赏）it．Our first experience of a work of art should be raw，unguided，and a bit puzzling如果你认为要想欣赏一件艺术品，就得让别人给你灌输有关它的惊人事实，这是一种错误的想法．我们对一件艺术品的第一次体验应该是原始的、没有引导的、有点令人困惑的，结合本段内容，可知第4段主要讲了如何去欣赏一件艺术品，故答案为：A．（4）C 内容推断题．根据段落4 Later，you might choose to do some personal research into the work．It can further increase your enjoyment and appreciation for

Korea and Japan over 1，000 years ago，and has since become a favorite activity of many people there．Today，Go still serves as a way of cultural exchange among the people inmany Eastern and Western countries，as players in these countries take part in many international games every year．A game of Go has many implications（含义）for real life．It represents a square world of round pieces in black and white．There are 181 black pieces and 180 white ones in total．While the board is fixed，the pieces can be placed in millions upon millions of different ways，just as life in the real world may take many turns．The proper placement of each tiny Go piece is similar to how one might solve a difficult problem in life．Go pays much attention to peaceful competition and coexistence （共存）．In a game of Go，the players do not wipe out （消灭）each other's pieces．Instead，they simply try to win a larger share of space while allowing the other side some space．However，in chess and Chinese chess，the players try to wipe out as many of the other side's pieces as possible．The one who forces the other side's commander（主帅）into a dead corner then wins the game．Therefore，Go carries deeper cultural and philosophical connotations（哲学内涵）．Wu Qingyuan（1914﹣2014），a modern Go talent，believed that the final purpose of the game was to try to achieve peace．Instead of fighting as enemies，the two players work together to play an excellent game．Title：A game of wisdom and peaceMain Parts DetailedInformation Introduction The game ofGo is knownas one ofChinesegreatestartistictypes．It is acompetitionof the（1）mind，anda game ofentertainmentas well．History and importance●Go wascreated over4，000 yearsago in Chinaand has（2）spreadthroughoutthe worldever since．●Today，Gostill plays animportant（3）role

solve them properly．●Compared with chess，Go has deeper connotations since peace and competition coexist in a game of Go while（5）beating the enemy's commander is the only purpose in chess．●The realmeaning ofGo is toachieve peacebetween twosides．解析：短文讲了围棋是中国文化中四大艺术类型之一，它不仅是一种心理竞技活动，也是一种娱乐性棋盘游戏．详细地介绍了围棋的历史、规则和意义．参考答案：（1）mind．考查名词．根据第一段句子" It is not only a competitive event of the mind，but also a board game of entertainment．"可知它不仅是一种心理竞技活动，也是一种娱乐性棋盘游戏．故答案为mind．（2）spread．考查动词．根据第二段句子" Created in China more than four thousand years ago．Go was introduced to Korea and Japan over 1，000 years ago，and has since become a favorite activity of many people there．"可知围棋起源于4000多年前的中国，从那时起便传遍了全世界．句子是现在完成时，结构为have\hasdone．故答案为spread．（3）role．考查名词．根据第二段句子"Today，Go still serves as a way of cultural exchange among the people in many Eastern and Western countries，as players in these countries take part in many international games every year．"可知今天，围棋在文化交流中仍然发挥着重要的作用．play an important role in在……起重要作用，故答案为role．（4）similar．考查形容词．根据第三段句子"The proper placement of each tiny Go piece is similar to how one might solve a difficult problem in life．"可知同样，人们在生活中可能会遇到很多困难，需要学习如何正确地解决它们．In a similar way，同样．故答案为similar．（5）beating．考查动名词．根据第四段句子"Go pays much attention to peaceful competition and coexistence （共存）．In a game of Go，the players do not wipe out（消灭）each other's pieces．Instead，they simply try to win a larger share of space while allowing the other side some space．"可知与国际象棋相比，围棋有更深的内涵，和平与竞争共存于一盘围棋中，而打败敌人的指挥官是象棋的唯一目的．故答案为beating．点拨：做题时首先对原文材料迅速浏览，掌握全文的主旨大意．其次，细读题材，各个击破．掌握全文的大意之后，细细阅读材料后的问题，弄清每题要求后，带着问题，再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信息．五、词汇（共4小题；每小题1分，满分4分）A）根据句子意思，用括号中所给词的正确形式填空，每空填一词.17．（1分）﹣Ann，is this umbrella yours（you）or Jack's？﹣It's mine．解析：﹣安，这把伞是你的还是杰克的？﹣它是我的．参考答案：句子中表示你的伞，应该用名词性物主代词yours．故填yours．点拨：本题考查用所给单词的适当形式填空，首先要根据语境明确句意，然后再根据相关语法对所给单词在形式上做出正确的变化．18．（1分）Surprisingly，my 12﹣year﹣old daughter is worried about her

With so much free time on our hands during lockdown, many of us have entertainedthe idea of knowing more about the world． Learning a foreign language is a good choice． Here are a few examples, in order of time it takes people to learn them．Latin languages （about 600 hours）The popular Latin languages ﹣ Italian, French, Spanish and Portuguese ﹣ require about 600 hours to learn． Of these, Spanish and Italian are the easiest for English speakers to learn． They are followed by Portuguese and finally French．Latin languages share many words with English．However, those shared words look or sound similar, but have different meanings over time．Greek （1, 100 hours）Modern Greek is maybe the easiest language to learn that uses a different alphabet（字母表）．It is also a language that has contributed many words to English． Indeed, the president of Greece once gave two speeches at an international meeting that included just Greek loan words（外来词） as well as the unavoidable basic English．Japanese （2, 200 hours）Counting objects in Japanese depends on whether they are long and thin （like "roads"）, small and round （like "apples"）, thin and flat （like "sheets of paper"）, and hundreds more examples．What Japanese you speak also depends on your gender（性别）． There's a "rough" language for men and a more "ladylike" language for women, but you must understand both． Chinese （2, 200 hours）Each Chinese written word is hardly understandable when spoken between a Mandarin（普通话） speaker in Beijing and a Cantonese speaker in Guangdong． If you think that's strange, consider our number system: the symbol "2" is widely understood but it's pronounced "two" in English and "duex" in French．（1）For an English speaker， which of the following is the easiest to learn？________A Japanese．B French．C Greek．D Italian．．（2）What can we learn from the passage？________A The same word in two languages always has the same meaning．B The English language and the Greek language use the same alphabet．C Objects are counted differently in Japanese according to their shapes．D A Mandarin speaker and a Cantonese speaker write Chinese differently．．（3）The purpose of this passage is to tell English speakers________．A how to learn some foreign languagesB why they must learn a foreignlanguage C some information on the difficulty of foreign languages D not to choose an Asian language to learn as it is too hard．13. Influenza, or flu（流感）, is a type of virus． It spreads from one person to another quickly． When someone who has the flu coughs or sneezes, little droplets from their lungs （肺） spread out into the air．Anyone nearby can get sick． Even a person who touches something with the virus and then touches his or her mouth, eyes, or nose, can become infected（感染）．The outbreak of the 1918 influenza infected about 500 million people worldwide． It killed from 20 million to 50 million people． It was first seen in Europe, the United States, and parts of Asia．It then spread quickly around the world． Many people who became sick were young, healthy adults．At the time, no treatments worked in the prevention of the spread of the killer flu． People were ordered to wearmasks． Schools, theaters and other public places were closed．When the first wave（波＞in the spring of 1918 hit, it didn't seem serious． People who were infected felt the usual flu symptoms（症状）, which are chills, fevers, and feeling tired． Those who got sick generally got better after several days． Not manydied． However, a second, highly contagious（传染的）wave of influenza appeared in the fall of that same year． Victims died shortly after they were infected ﹣ within hours or days． Their skin turned blue and their lungs were filled with liquid（液体）, making it very difficult to breathe．By the summer of 1919, the flu pandemic（大流行病） came to an end． Sick people had either got well or died． Almost 90 years later, in 2008, researchers announced they'd discovered why the 1918 flu was so deadly． The flu virus inflamed （使…恶化）the lungs, causing them to fill with liquid．Since 1918, there have been several other influenza pandemics, although none has been quite as deadly．（1）What information about the 1918 flu is mentioned in the passage？________A The reason why it was so deadly．B The reason why it ended．C The change it caused to medical research．D The place in which it was last seen．．（2）All the people that were infected with the 1918 flu________．A had blue skin that led to their deathB had touched someone with thevirus C died as their lungs were filled with liquid D had the virus in their bodies that made them sick．（3）Which of the following statements about the 1918 flu is TRUE according to the passage？________A Wearing a mask was the best way to treat it．B A younger person had a lower risk of being infccted with it．C People expected the coming of its second wave， but couldn't stop it．D It was deadlier than any other influenza pandemic in modern history．14. "What's wrong, Carina? " Collin asked． "Homesick again? "His sister nodded．"Yeah, me too．" Collin sighed（叹息）．Their family had moved to the new place nearly four months ago． The new place was housed inside a huge transparent dome （透明的圆屋顶）． It still didn't feel like home．"I miss my friends, " Carina said sadly． "And green grass and swimming, and everything． I even miss the sound of rain on the roof（屋顶）．""Worst of all, " Carina continued, "my birthday is in two days, and I don't think Mom and Dad are planning anything special． They're too busy．""She's probably right, " thought Collin． Life here was very busy for scientists like their parents． He doubted if they had time to plan a party． And how could theyanyway? Things such as balloons and birthday candles didn't exist here． They didn't even have enough materials to make a cake．"Don't worry．" Collin put an arm around Carina's shoulder．Collin walked toward the agricultural center, where his mom worked． He found her taking notes on some tall tube﹣like plants．"What are those? " he asked．"Bamboo plants, " said Mom． "They're strong and grow fast． They make good building materials．""May I have a piece? ""Sure．" Mom handed one to him and made a note on her notebook．The next day, Collin made tiny holes into the piece of bamboo and put small nails（钉子）into each hole． He poured a handful of pebbles（鹅卵石） inside and covered the open ends．Collin held the bamboo piece carefully as he hurried home． He hid it behind his back and opened the front door． To his surprise, Mom and Dad were home early from work． Mom was carrying something that looked like a cake．He looked closer and realized Mom had made a cake with dried apples and cinnamon（肉桂皮）sugar．A real treat, on the Moon．Collin handed his sister the bamboo rod． "Happy birthday!""What is it? " Carina asked, looking at it curiously．"A rain stick, " said Collin． "Whenever you turn it over, the pebbles fall around the nails and it sounds like rain．"Carina turned the stick, and the room was filled with a sound like rain drumming on a roof． "It's Moon Rain!" she said． "It makes me feel like I'm home．" She smiled at Collin and turned the rain stick over again．（1）What may be the best title of this passage？________A Bamboo PlantsB Moon RainC Homesick Again!D United Family．（2）What can we know from the passage？________A This passage is part of a science fiction written for scientific research．B The family moved to the new place in order to do some sightseeing．C Their new home was on a dry land on the earth far from their old one．D Carina didn't think her parents would plan anything special for her birthday．．（3）Which of the following can best describe Collin？________A Careful and brave．B Caring and creative．C Generous andintellectual． D Romantic and popular．15. Looking at art should be like walking in the countryside．You may not know exactly where you are, what bird is making that strange sound, or what the hill ahead of you is called, but that's part of the fun of it．You don't need to know these things to feel the beautyof nature．Of course, if you do know your birds, trees and local history, a walk can be more attractive． Yet such knowledge comes slowly． It is picked up through experience．A true knowledge of nature cannot just be given to you through an app on your phone．Imagine pointing your phone at the hill and getting plenty of information on screen． Would that enrich your dreamy walk or ruin（毁灭） it?________ enjoy an app that allows them to show off their knowledge, for example, about baroque（巴洛克风格的） paintings． In fact, apps in museums try to provide on﹣screen art history at once just to encourage people to read their phones instead of looking at paintings．It is a mistaken idea that you need to be spoon﹣fed（灌输） amazing facts about a workof art in order to appreciate（欣赏） it． Our first experience of a work of art should be raw （自然状态的）, unguided, and a bit puzzling, like following a path in thewoods． Later, you might choose to do some personal research into the work． It can further increase your enjoyment and appreciation for it． Yet it is best done when you're away from the art itself, so that even when you return, the work still feels fresh．Anyone who thinks knowing some dates and details makes you better understand a workof art is wrong． We all need to put aside our screens and our supposed knowledge when we look at art． Let the paintings flow in; let your intuitions（直觉） fly off． Art is a journeyin the wilderness or it is nothing at all．（1）What does the writer mainly want to say？________A Art is best with the help of apps．B Art is best when hidden in mystery．C Artis nothing compared with nature． D Art is nothing when details and facts are known．．（2）The underlined word "braggarts" refers to（指）________．A people who like showing offB people who like baroque paintingsC those who are good at appreciating artD those who are good at painting with phones．（3）What's the main idea of Paragraph 4？________A How to appreciate a work of art．B How to personal research into a work ofart． C How to keep your feelings about a work of art fresh． D How to be spoon﹣fed amazing facts about a work of art．．（4）what can we infer（推断） from the passage？________A Because of apps， art will be ruined in the future．B A good piece of art is usually made about nature．C Research work and intuitions can both help understandart． D Museums are not supposed to allow the use of mobile phones．四、阅读表达（共1小题；每小题5分，满分5分）阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词．16. The game of Go was one of the four greatest artistic types in Chinese culture． It is not only a competitive event of the mind，but also a board game of entertainment．Created in China more than four thousand years ago． Go was introduced to Korea and Japan over 1， 000 years ago， and has since become a favorite activity of many people there． Today， Go still serves as a way of cultural exchange among the people in many Eastern and Western countries， as players in these countries take part in many international games every year．A game of Go has many implications（含义） for real life． It represents a square world of round pieces in black and white． There are 181 black pieces and 180 white ones in total．While the board is fixed，the pieces can be placed in millions upon millions of different ways， just as life in the real world may take many turns． The proper placementof each tiny Go piece is similar to how one might solve a difficult problem in life．Go pays much attention to peaceful competition and coexistence （共存）． In a game of Go，the players do not wipe out（消灭） each other's pieces． Instead， they simply try to wina larger share of space while allowing the other side some space． However， in chess and Chinese chess， the players try to wipe out as many of the other side's pieces as possible．The one who forces the other side's commander（主帅）into a dead corner then wins the game． Therefore， Go carries deeper cultural and philosophical connotations（哲学内涵）．Wu Qingyuan（1914﹣2014）， a modern Go talent， believed that the final purpose of the game was to try to achieve peace． Instead of fighting as enemies， the two players work together to play an excellent game．五、词汇（共4小题；每小题1分，满分4分）A）根据句子意思，用括号中所给词的正确形式填空，每空填一词.17. ﹣Ann， is this umbrella________（you） or Jack's？﹣It's mine．18.
