The cat Queen.23.The underlined word "kittens" in this poem most probably means ______ .A. a kind of foodB. baby catsC. a kind of drinkD. beds for babiesBTo us,it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains.But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain.Its first use was as a shade (遮蔽)against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it,but the umbrella was used in very ancient times.Probably the first to use it were the Chinese,back in the eleventh century BC.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade.And there was a strange thing connected with its use:it became a symbol of honor and power.In the Far East in ancient times,the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens.In Europe,the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade.The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece,but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the middle ages in Europe,the use of the umbrella almost disappeared.Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century.And again it became a symbol of power.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time,though they have become much lighter in weight.It wasn't until the twentieth century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colours.24.According to the passage,the umbrella was probably first used in ancient ______ .A. EgyptB. BabylonC. RomeD. China25.According to the passage,which of the following is NOT true?______A. The ancient Greeks used the umbrella in their daily life.B. Europeans hardly used the umbrella during the middle ages.C. The umbrellas for women were made colourful in ancient times.D. The style of the umbrella hasn't changed a lot since it was invented.CI'll never forget that summer day in 1965 when my mother suddenly died of an unexplained illness at the age of 36.Later that afternoon,a police officer stopped by to ask my father if the hospital could use Mother's corneas(角膜).I was shocked."The doctors want to dissect mum and give her away to other people!" I thought as I ran into the house in tears."How can you let them do that to her?" I screamed at my father."My mum came into this world in one piece and that is how she should go out.""Linda," Father said quietly,putting his arm around me,"the greatest gift you can give is a part of yourself.Your mother and I decided long ago that if we can make a difference in just one person's life after we die,our death will have meaning." He went on to explain they had both decided to donate their organs(器官).The lesson my father taught me that day became one of the most important in my life.Years passed.I married and had a family of my own.In 1980,my father became seriously ill and moved in with us.He cheerfully told me that when he died,he wanted me to donate his eyes."Sight is one of the greatest gifts a person can give," he said.I told Wendy what her grandpa had said,and with tears in her eyes,she went into her grandpa's room and gave him a big hug.She was only fourteen years old----the same age at which I was introduced to such a thing.What a difference!My father died on April 11,1986,and we donated his eyes as he had wanted.Three days later,Wendy said,"Mum,I'm so proud of you for what did for grandpa."At that moment,I realized that my father gave much more than his eyes.26.How was it for the writer to agree the hospital's use of her mother's corneas?______A. Easy.B. Possible.C. Simple.D. Difficult.27.According to the passage,the underlined word "dissect" may be best replaced by______ .A. cut upB. search forC. move awayD. burn away28.Why did the writer finally agree on her mother's donation?______A. Because she was afraid of her father.B. Because she didn't care about it any more.C. Because she was too young to stop it.D. Because her father explained to her.29.What did Wendy think of her grandpa's donation?______A. At first she couldn't accept it,but she agreed in the end.B. She begged her mother not to donate her grandpa's eyes.C. She felt proud of her grandpa's donation.D. She thought it normal and didn't car about it much.DGlobalization means that people,ideas,technology,money,services and many other things are moving between countries and changing the way people think and act.Not everyone thinks the same way about globalization.Some people think it is bad,and some people think it is good.Some believe that globalization helps rich people get richer and makes poor people poorer.These people say that globalization helps big companies like Coca-Cola and McDonald's destroy local businesses.However,the people who think globalization is a good thing argue that globalization helps poorer people to become richer.They also think that it doesn't destroy local cultures.These people also believe globalization helps prevent wars.This is because countries with economic connections will try hard to keep good relationships so that their economies aren't destroyed.No matter what you think about globalization,it affects the world in two areas:jobs andcultures.Globalization has had a very strong influence on jobs all over the world.For some workers,such as engineers,lawyers and bankers,globalization has been a good development.These workers are able to successfully compete(竞争)globally and have seen an increase in their pay.But for those who work in factories or in the service industry(at hotels,shops and restaurants),it has not been good.Workers from poorer countries are trying to get these types of jobs.They will do the same job for less money.This decreases the pay for that job,so people get paid less to do it.Cultures have also been affected by globalization.Foods such as Japanese noodles,Indian curry and French cheeses have spread around the world.We can also see an increase in the use of Chinese characters(汉字)in tattoos(纹身).Some people get these tattoos but they don't really know what the characters mean.Globalization also affects the film industry.Most people have seen American movies.But because of globalization,Korean,Indian and Japanese movies have become more worldwide.No one knows the future of globalization.Most experts agree that it will continue to grow and have an increasingly greater influence on people's lives in the future.30.Some people think globalization is good because it may ______ .A. change local culturesB. help local businesses developC. make rich people become richerD. help stop wars among countries31.According to Paragraph 4 we know ______ .A. engineers will get a lower payB. people can get favourite jobs more easilyC. globalization greatly affects people's jobsD. workers from rich countries get paid less32.Globalization helps people in the world ______ .A. know Chinese characters very wellB. go to different countries for moviesC. own the same culture in the endD. enjoy foods from different countries33.What can we infer(推断)from the passage?______A. Globalization is sure to do good to people.B. Globalization will be limited in the future.C. Globalization may change people's lives in the future.D. Globalization will be loved throughout the world.五、任务型阅读-简答(本大题共1小题,共6.0分)34.Where does your food come from?How is it made?These days,many people worryabout food safety.But food safety is not a new worry.In1906,Upton Sinclair wrote The Jungle.The book is the story of a poor family in Chicago.It is also about the dangerous ways that food was prepared.People were so worried that the U.S.started testing food.These days,most food in the world is safe.Laws control where food comes from.They also control how food is managed and prepared.Laws are important.But it's moreimportant to make sure the rules are followed.A good food safety system keeps people safe.It also helps them eat healthy food.Labels(标签)on food give people important information.Then they can make good choices about their food.Although food safety systems usually work,there can be problems.Sometimes mistakes are made.For example,a truck might carry eggs and then ice cream.The ice cream couldmake people sick when the truck isn't cleaned before carrying it.Other problems are not mistakes.Sometimes companies break rules to make more money.When this happens,people don't know if their food is safe.As we all know,food is closely related to our daily life.We should take actions to make food safer!Who wrote The Jungle?______What are the food labels used to do?______Is it necessary to pay attention to food safety?Why or why not?______六、单词拼写/单词释义(本大题共3小题,共3.0分)35.- Why did Mr Wu praise Sally yesterday?- Because she spelled all the English new words______.36.-Daniel,could you give me some______on how to lose weight?I hope they will behelpful.-Sure.Do more exercise and eat more vegetables.37.-Kate,you are working hard these days.-Yes,I must try my best,______ I may fail in the exam.七、完成句子(本大题共7小题,共7.0分)38.As the final exam is coming,I am______(严格的)with myself.39.The film isn't as wonderful as I______(想象).40.Sue showed great______(勇气)throughout her illness.41.Some scientists say they have______(成功)in finding a cure for cancer.42.It's 11:00 p.m,but I find him still______(醒着的).43.In______(古代的)times,there were usually walls around towns.44.Sometimes______(粗心)may lead to big accidents.八、句子翻译(本大题共5小题,共15.0分)45.我宁愿失败也不会放弃.______46.自上个月以来,我已经在化学方面取得了巨大进步.______47.你最好不要泄气.______48.这本书分成了三部分.______49.使我惊讶的是,他爸爸参加了足球队的选拔.______.九、书面表达(本大题共1小题,共20.0分)50.音乐、电影、绘画、摄影,在众多的爱好中,电影广受人们的喜爱.假如你最喜欢注意:1.表达中必须包含所给要点,可以适当发挥1-2句,不要简单翻译.2.以My favourite hobby为题,词数90左右.______________________________________________.答案和解析1.【答案】D【解析】答案:D。

It is included in the “Du Gongbu Collection”, a collection of poems by Du Fu.The first four lines were the first part of the poem, which started with writing the views through wind, sky, water, beach, apes, and birds, a natural scene of autumn is vividly presented. Then Du Fu used the visual spectacle (奇观) to describe the cycle of nature: the fall of leaves symbolizes the transience (短暂) of life, and the flow of the river represents the impermanence (无常) of time.The second part marked a shift in focus from the landscape to the poet’s inner world. After Yan Wu died, who gave Du Fu much help, Du Fu left his hometown and lived a hard life again. Because of poverty (贫穷) and illness, he felt even sadder and lonelier when climbing alone. Thelast two lines show the poet’s sadness for the difficult life and his helplessness for aging, as well as the bitterness (苦涩) of having to give up drinking due to difficulties.By describing the scene of autumn from a high altitude, the entire poem expresses the sadness of autumn and the suffering of life.

But can you imagine the two singing opera in English instead of speaking poetic Chinese?Jia and Lin are two characters from the classic Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions (《红楼梦》), written by Cao Xueqin (1715—1763) in the Qing dynasty. Now the book has been made into an English-language opera. After being performed in San Francisco, US, the performance came to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan.Most opera’s creators have backgrounds in both Chinese and American cultures, including the director and playwrights. Their understanding of both cultures helped them change a Chinese class into a foreign-language opera.The book, which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters and hundreds characters.But the opera with David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven.Hwang, a Chinese-American, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin and tried to write a heart broking tragedy (悲剧) that everyone would understand.The art director Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, tried to help foreign people understand the characters using costumes and stage settings (布景). He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin showed up on stage, there was usually water around her on the stage.The creators considered it to be a meaningful job to introduce a Chinese classic to Western audiences. Hwang told China Daily he was happy to “have made a contribution (贡献) to the land where my parents were born.”18.Where was the opera first performed?A.In Beijing.B.In Changsha.C.In San Francisco.D.In Wuhan. 19.What do most opera's creators have in common?A.They have similar culture background.B.They have similar education background.C.They have similar hobbies.D.They have similar performance experiences.20.About the book A Dream of Red Mansions, which statement is TRUE?A.It is mainly about the rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty.B.It tells the happy-ending love story between Jia and Lin.C.It is very rich in characters.D.It has seven characters in total.21.According to the last paragraph, where were Hwang’s parents born?A.In San Francisco.B.In America.C.In England.D.In China.22.What might be the best title of the passage?A.A Chinese Classic-A Dream of Red MansionsB.A Foreign Opera Based on A Dream of Red MansionsC.The Famous Characters in a Foreign OperaD.The Special Costumes and Stage Setting in a Foreign OperaHave you ever seen the movie Journey to the Center of the Earth (《地心历险记》)? It tells a man took a boy down to the “center of the Earth”. They experienced many dangers, including many animals and natural risks, finally coming to the earth again in southern Italy. After watching it, you may be interested in the underground forest world. But such worlds exist in real life.In May 2022, a team of Chinese scientists found a giant sinkhole (天坑) in Leye, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. It is 306 meters long, 150 meters wide and 192 meters deep.According to Xinhua News Agency, Leye is called “the museum of sinkholes”, where people have found 30 sinkholes so far. These sinkholes are formed because of the unique karst landscape (喀斯特地貌). Karst is an area of land made up of limestone (石灰岩), which is a soft rock that dissolves (溶解) in water. When rainwater flows through little cracks (裂缝) in the bedrock, the cracks slowly grow into tunnels and then big caves. Over time, a cave can get too big and its ceiling then falls slowly, finally open up with sinkholes. What’s amazing is the giant size of China’s sinkholes.“In China, you have this incredibly. visually spectacular karst with enormous sinkholes.
