One day, his horse ran off on its own towards the Hu people, a tribe inhabiting northern China. Everyone was consoling (安慰) the old stableman. He said: “Why are you so sure this is not going to bring me 19 ?”After a few months, his horse returned from the Hu people with one of their steeds, and everyone was 20 the old stableman. He said again: “Why are you so sure this is not the 21 of a calamity (霉运)?”He now had a wealthy home with a noble steed. His son loved riding the horse, but one dayhe fell off the horse and broke his leg. Everyone was comforting the old stableman, and he said again: “Why are you so sure that this not going to bring me luck?”A year passed, and a 22 troop of Hu people invaded (入侵) the Great Wall area. These strongmen waved their bows and arrows enticing the other side to start a war. 23 the people from the Great Wall area who fought, nine out of ten died, and the survivors were left with severe injuries. But because of the stableman’s son’s broken leg, he was 24 from the fight, and the father and son were safe.This idiom tells us that even 25 you might run into hardship or misfortune, there still might be a silver lining. It also means in some cases, setbacks can become a good thing. 16．A．called B．translated C．described D．considered 17．A．play B．ride C．learn D．share 18．A．easy B．well C．special D．different 19．A．luck B．mysteries C．accident D．story 20．A．fighting B．hitting C．laughing D．congratulating 21．A．reason B．end C．start D．way 22．A．small B．big C．large D．better 23．A．From B．Among C．At D．Between 24．A．died B．kept C．spared D．killed25．A．in B．from C．though D．after三、阅读理解Calming the WavesSu Shi (translated by Xu yuanchong)Listen not to the rain beating against the trees.I had better walk slowly while chanting at ease.Better than a saddle I like sandals and cane.I’d fain,In a straw cloak, spend my life in mist and rain.Drunken, I am sobered by the vernal wind shrillAnd rather chill.In front, I see the slanting sun atop the hill;Turning my head, I see the dreary beaten track.Let me go ▲ !Impervious (不受影响的) to rain or shine, I’ll have my own will.26．Which word is the most suitable for ▲ ?A．neck B．back C．attack D．fight27．The poet made this poem in the weather of ________.A．sunny B．windy C．rainy D．snowy 28．Which personality is the most suitable for Su Shi?A．upbeat.B．downbeat.C．helpful.D．careful.Emperor Taizong of Tang (January 23, 599—July 10, 649), personal name Li Shimin, was the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty of China, ruling from 626 to 649. As he encouraged his father, Li Yuan (later Emperor Gaozu) to rise against Sui Dynasty rule at Taiyuan in 617 and subsequently defeated several of his most important rivals, he was ceremonially regarded as a cofounder of the dynasty along with Emperor Gaozu.He is typically considered one of the greatest, if not the greatest, emperor in all of Chinese history. Throughout the rest of Chinese history, Emperor Taizong’s reign was regarded as the exemplary model against which all other emperors were measured, and his “Reign of Zhen Guan” (贞观之治) was considered a golden age of Chinese history and required study for future crown princes. During his reign, Tang China flourished economically and militarily. For more than a century after his death, Tang China enjoyed peace and prosperity.In 630, Emperor Taizong sent his general Li Jing against Eastern Tujue—to which Tang had once submitted—defeating and capturing its Jiali Khan Ashina Duobi and destroying Eastern Tujue power. This made Tang the dominant power in East and Central Asia, and Emperor Taizongsubsequently took the title of Tian Kehan (“Heavenly Khan”).Emperor Taizong was, in opposition to nobility of the time, a frank rationalist, openly laughing of superstitions and heaven's claimed signs, and modifying important rites in order to ease agricultural labour. The modern Chinese historian Bo Yang opined that Emperor Taizong achieved greatness by accepting criticism that others would find difficult to accept and trying hard not to abuse his absolute power (using Emperor Yang of Sui as a negative example), as well as employing capable chancellors Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng. Emperor Taizong’s wife Empress Zhangsun served as a capable assistant to him as well.29．What was the age of Li Shimin when he was dead?A．48B．50C．52D．2330．What was the influence of “Reign of Zhen Guan”?A．Tang dynasty got poorer.B．Many of literatus (士大夫) were killed.C．Tang Dynasty was established (建立).D．Tang dynasty was peace and prosperity. 31．Which of the following is true?A．Li Shimin is Li Yuan’s Father.B．The Tujue defeated Li Jing in 630.C．Wei Zheng helped Li Shimin a lot.D．Zhangsun was Li Shimin’s sister.Why Visit Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum (Zhongshan Ling)Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is the mausoleum for our “Father of Modern China” and the “Forerunner of the Revolution”—Sun Yat-sen. With a great and inspiring design, this mausoleum was started in 1926 and completed in 1929 with an area of 80, 000 sq. m. (about 20 acres), located at the south slope of the Purple Mountain facing with fertile plain and leaning against a green mountain, close to Xiaoling Mausoleum to the west and Linggu Temple to the east. It is also Sun Yat-sen’s wish to be buried near Purple Mountain.Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum was listed as “National AAAAA Tourist Attraction” in 2006 and “Architectural Heritage in the 20th Century in China” in 2016.Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is a must-see in Nanjing no matter you want to pay respect to this great people or appreciate the beautiful surroundings.Below are some recommended Nanjing tour packages:☛ 2 Days Ancient Nanjing Tour☛ 3 Days Best of Nanjing Highlights TourAbout Dr. Sun Yat-senTo have a better visit to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, you should have a further understanding of this great person in China—Sun Yat-sen.Sun (1866.11.12—1925.3.12) was a Chinese revolutionary, physician, first president and founding father of the Republic of China (ROC). He is considered to be the “Father of Modern China” (中华民国国父) and the “Forerunner of Democratic Revolution” in the People’s Republic of China. He played a crucial role in the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty (1644—1912) and over 2000 years’ Monarchy during the years leading up to the Xinhai Revolution. Sun was appointed to serve as Provisional President of the Republic of China when it was founded in 1912 and he later co-founded Kuomingtang(国民党) and served as its first leader. His political life was with constant struggle and frequent exile. He was exiled to Japan, Europe, the United States, and Canada, but he always supported the revolutionary party and uprising in China. Sun’s chief legacy resides in his development of the political philosophy known as “Three Principles of the People”—Nationalism (民族), People’s Rights (民权) and People’s Livelihood (民生). 32．How many years was Sun Yat-sen lives for?A．50.B．59.C．63.D．69.33．Where is the Zhongshan Ling from the passage?A．At the south slope of the Purple Mountain facing.B．Far away from the XiaolingMausoleum.C．Near the Nanjing museum.D．In the center of Nanjing.34．What’s the “Three Principles of the People” mean?A．People are the most important thing for a country.B．A great leader can make the country stronger.C．The world must be united by Kuomingtang.D．Other nations are the enemies to China.35．Where may be the passage from?A．A magazine.B．A story book.C．The film.D．The website.Long ago, China was divided into kingdoms (战国). The kingdoms were often at war, so good military leaders were important. One such leader was Tian Ji, a general in the State of Qi.Tian Ji’s best friend was Sun Bin. Sun Bin had been a military official in the State of Wei. After he was unfairly fired from his job, he moved to the State of Qi. Sun Bin taught Tian Ji a lot about military strategy.At that time, horse racing was the most popular entertainment for the rich. People bet money on the races. Tian Ji was a fan of horse racing, but he wasn’t very good at betting.One day, Tian Ji again lost money at the races. He went home feeling sorry for himself. When Sun Bin saw how sad Tian Ji was, he said, “Take me with you next time. Maybe I can help you win!”A week later, Tian Ji did just that. Sun Bin learned how the races worked very quickly. He saw that the horses were divided into three types according to speed. First-class horses were the fastest, and third-class horses were the slowest. Each type had their own race and people bet on each race. In order to win the overall bet, a person only needed to win two of the three races. Sun Bin also noticed that each type had a different saddle color. This was to tell the different horses apart. Soon, Sun Bin developed a strategy to help Tian Ji.“Trust me,” he told Tian Ji. “I know exactly how you can win!”Tian Ji got so excited he challenged the king to a race.Tian Ji did everything that Sun Bin told him to do. For the first race, he put the first-class saddle on his third-class horse. The king’s first-class horse easily beat Tian Ji’s third-class horse.For the second race, Sun Bin told Tian Ji to put the second-class saddle on his first-class horse. And sure enough, Tian Ji won the second race. His first-class horse was better than the king’s second-class horse.Finally, for the third race, Tian Ji used his second-class horse. Once again, he won. This time it was against the king’s third-class horse. The king was shocked. Tian Ji was the overall winner.The king congratulated Tian Ji, but he was curious.“Tian Ji, where did you get such good horses?” he asked.“Your Majesty,” Tian Ji replied, “I did not win because I found great horses. I won because of the strategy I used. It was Sun Bin’s strategy, and it worked!”“Really?” said the king. “What exactly was this strategy?”Tian Ji told the king all about how he switched horses. He explained how Sun Bin knew that even when two opponents were unevenly matched, a strategy could be used to minimize losses. In this case, losing only once meant that Tian Ji was still the overall winner.Hearing this, the king immediately made Sun Bin the military adviser for the whole army. Sun Bin’s strategies and Tian Ji’s leadership led the State of Qi to many military victories. 36．What’s “kingdom” mean?A．People are fighting in the war.B．Rulers are killing people.C．Cultures are becoming different from others.D．Several countries are divided andconfronted (对峙).37．Which of the following is true?A．Sun Bin was Tian Ji’s friend.B．Tian Ji was fighting with the King.C．Tian Ji won the horses’ race.D．The King hated Tian Ji because of the failure of the race.38．If the first-class horse was ☛, the second was ☛, the third was ☛, which one was Tian Ji’s order?A．☛☛☛B．☛☛☛C．☛☛☛D．☛☛☛39．Tian Ji was ▲ .

These special-shapedplants are used for cooking delicious dishes as well as making musical instruments.But today we are talking about the pyrography craft(烙画工艺) on gourds.The craft originated during the Han Dynasty and entered its golden age duringthe Qing Dynasty. Many cities of China like Tianjin and Beijing are well-known fortheir production of such gourds. Take the craft from Beijing as an example. As thefamily’s fourth-generation inheritor(继承人) of Beijing’s gourd-pyrography craft, Niu Chengguo has been working hard on the craft for about 40 years. With his great love for beautiful things, Niu has kept improving his artistic skills and created many works of art.“When I was a little boy, I was deeply touched by the lively patterns on gourds which were created by my grandpa. I began studying how to create the artworks under my grandpa when I was 11,” said Niu.Niu’s efforts to improve his ability to create wonderful artworks paid off, as his works have become popular both at home and abroad. His artworks have sold well in many countries and regions in Southeast Asia, Europe and America. Many of his works have appeared in different cultural exchange activities held by the government of Beijing. As a result, the popularity of the gourd-pyrography craft has increased.In 2014, Niu started Beijing Gourd Art Manor to provide a platform(平台) to help visitors enjoy the beauty of the gourd craft. “I just want to make the traditional pyrography craft known liked by more people,” Niu said.26. What can gourds be used for according to Paragraph One?A. Holding dishes.B. Making music.C. Creating artworks.27. What does the underlined word “originated” mean in Paragraph Two?A. 起源B. 改进C. 纪念28.

Niu’s works made a difference to cultural exchanges.C. Niu’s works helped visitors create their own gourd artworks.30. What is the the writer’s main purpose in writing the text?A. To introduce an inheritor of traditional gourd-pyrography craft.B. To describe the development of the gourd-pyrography craft.C. To encourage people to pass on traditional Chinese culture.DA rare(稀有的) songbird has become endangered and ithas even started to lose its song, say scientists.The regent honeyeater(王吸蜜鸟) was once common insoutheastern Australia, but since the 1950s, it has lost about 90%of its habitat(栖息地). As a result, there is a rapid drop in itspopulation. Now there are only about 300 regent honeyeatersin the world.Young regent honeyeaters learn to sing from adult members of their species(物种). But because of their small population, young males(雄性) get no chance to find other males and hear them sing. “So they end up learning the songs of other species,” said Dr. Ross Crates, who is now trying to teach the birds to sing their own song.The researchers had not set out to study the song of regent honeyeaters, but simply to find the birds. “They’re so rare and the area they may live in is so big — probably 10 times the size of the UK — that we were looking for a needle in a haystack,” said Dr. Crates.During the search, he noticed some birds were singing strange songs. According to the research, the natural song of the regent honeyeater has disappeared in 12% of its population. The problem is that the songs those male birds are singing aren’t the ones the females want to hear, so it’s difficult for them to find a partner.There is already a project to set captive(被圈养的) regent honeyeaters free in the hope of making the population grow. But if the male birds can’t sing the right song, they might not attract the females. That’s why the scientists are using their recordings of wild birds to teach captive regent honeyeaters their own song.31. Why is the regent honeyeater endangered according to Paragraph Two?A. It often sings strange songs.B. It has lost most of its habitat.C. It has little chance to meet other birds.32. What does the writer mainly explain in the third paragraph?A. How to protect the rare bird.B. What Dr. Ross Crates tries to do.C. Why the rare bird is losing its song.33. What do the underlined words “looking for a needle in a haystack” mean in Paragraph Four?A. 大海捞针B. 守株待兔C. 掩耳盗铃34. How do the scientists teach the captive regent honeyeaters to sing?A. By letting them learn from other species.B. By helping them find other males of their species.C. By playing the recordings of wild regent honeyeaters.35. What’s the best title for the passage?A. Fun facts about the regent honeyeaterB. A rare bird is “forgetting” its songC. Looking for rare birds in the wild第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下面短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I could catch 1 . I usually got pretty 2 and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish.” I remember being even more worried then, because I’m not a fish. I didn’t know 3 to think like a fish. Besides, how could what I think 4 what a fish does?As I got a little older I began to 5 what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fishes. And I 6 joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and it is very sensitive(敏感的) to water 7 . That’s why fish pref er shallow water to deep water because the shallow water is warmer. What’s more, water is usually 8 in direct sunlight than in the shade (阴凉处). The more I understood fish, the more I became good at finding and catching them.When I grew up and entered the 9 world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like sales people.” But it didn’t completely come out. My dad never said, “You need to think like a fisherman.” 10 later, I learned to provide long-term services for people much older and richer than me. I understood that what we all need is to think more like customers.

Many years later, I was stil l working on the school bus. There are so many good reasons. Firstly, the talk brought me different kinds of information. I also got to hear all the family secrets of the newcomers. I have a toy bear who was a great comforter(安慰者) for the little ones. The kids got to look after him on the trip to school and he waited patiently forthemto get on for the trip home.Our bus would often pass a place where we could see some alpacas (羊驼) in front of a farm house. Little Michael would cry excitedly from the seat, “Look, Miss! Look at the camels!” He used to put his head out of the bus window. When I warned him that a little insect would come into his nose if he wasn’t careful, he smartly gave up the habit.I remember a little girl got on the bus one morning 5 years ago and sobbed(抽泣) all the way to school. We arrived at the school gate. As she waited to get down the bus, she threw her arms around my neck and cried that her grandfather had died the night before.A school bus driver needs to keep one eye on the road and the other on the mirror to watch what the little ones are doing down the back.Now, it’s important to think how many lives I’ve been responsible(负责的) for, and how many kilometers I’ve driven in order to get my passengers home safely during the 20 years. I’ve enjoyed it, but it’s time to rest and park my school bus. 1．What does the underlined word “them” in the first paragraph refer to (所指)?A．toy bears B．kidsC．school buses D．secrets2．Which of the following is TRUE?A．Children didn’t like the drive r.B．The driver likes the job all the time.C．The little girl was excited at seeing the camels.D．Children sometimes talked about their family secrets on the bus.3．The writer didn’t give up her job because.A．driving was her hobbyB．children made her valuableC．drivers were paid wellD．children loved her toy beaB14、It is well known that Albert Einstein was one of the greatest scientists of all time and he was also a really great person. Here are some interesting things about him.When Einstein started to work in America, someone asked him what he needed. He said he needed a desk, some paper and a pencil. He also asked for a big waste-paper basket to hold all of his mistakes. This shows that he knew even the cleverest man in the world can only learn by making mistakes.Einstein regarded time as very important. He never wore socks and he thought putting on socks was a waste of time as people already wore shoes. He also thought it was a waste of time remembering things that could quickly be found in a book. That's why he never remembered his own phone number, which was in the phone book. He knew what was worth remembering. It is true that if we are going to do great things in our lives, we can not waste our time.Einstein liked to joke too. Once in an exam a student asked him why all the questions were the same as last year's. Einstein replied the questions were the same but the answers were different!根据短文内容，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出正确选项，并将所选答案涂到答题卡的相应位置上。
