Maggie, a girl of thirteen years old, lived on the west coast of the United States. She had never experienced an earthquake before; she only prepared for it. As long as she could remember, preparing for an earthquake was common at her school. Her family had made plans as well in case of a natural disaster.
One day, Maggie arrived home from school at the usual time. However, it was not the same as usual. She was home alone. Her mom would be driving home on the busy freeway and her dad was to arrive at the airport. He was coming home from a two-week business trip.
After finishing her homework, Maggie felt a little hungry, so she went to the kitchen to find something to eat: Just then she felt a shake, then the violent shaking. Maggie quickly ran under the large table in the dining room. The sounds of breaking glass and the crashing of many things were deafening, and Maggie hugged herself in fear.
After what seemed like a very long time, the earthquake appeared to be over. Maggie could hear the sound of water rushing below her in the basement. And there was the smell of natural gas in the air. Maggie knew where the main water valve(阀门) was and how to turn it off. Dad had ever shown her before.
Slowly and carefully she came out from under the table. The once tidy home was then almost unrecognizable. Walls had fallen down and many things in the room were in a mess. As Maggie approached the open basement door, she could see the steps. Carefully she made her way down into the dark basement.
While placing her feet firmly on the floor, Maggie felt a sudden pain as a large wood hit her head and shoulder. She fell unconscious onto a pile of boxes. An hour later, she woke up and found her parents beside her. She was happy that she was still alive!

Do you speak a dialect (方言) in daily life While many Chinese people speak Mandarin (普通话), some local dialects are in danger of disappearing. To save them, the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project (中国语言资源保护工程) a few years ago.
This project looks at how people talk in 1,712 places. Their languages include 103 dialects that are almost gone. It has helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world. There’s an online library where people can learn dialects from over 5.6 million audio clips (音频) and over 5 million videos.
Why is it important to protect the dialect culture According to British linguist Harold Palmer, dialects are a key to store local cultures. Language faithfully shows the history, the beliefs and the biases (偏见) of an area, he said.
Scholar Zhang Hongming talked about his concerns of the disappearing of dialects, “For about over 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect. Meanwhile, young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. If this keeps happening, the dialect might disappear,” he said.
So how did China make this big library “A big national effort has been put into the project to make it happen,” said Cao Zhiyun, chief expert on the project. Over five years, more than 350 universities and research groups joined in, along with over 4,500 experts and more than 6,000 dialect speakers.
The project is now entering into its second part. This includes creating digital tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people learn dialects.
28. What is the purpose of the project
A. To teach people Mandarin. B. To protect dialects.
C. To develop people’s speaking skills. D. To show ways of talking.
29. How many audio clips are collected in this project
A. 103. B. 1,712. C. 5 million. D. Over 5.6 million.
30. What is the situation of Wu dialect according to Zhang Hongming
A. It is in danger of disappearance.
B. It is widely spoken in Suzhou.
C. It has more than 6,000 dialect speakers.
D. It is taught in more than 350 universities.
31. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. China online language resource library.
B. Cao Zhiyun, chief expert on the project.
C. The Chinese Language Resources Protection Project.
D. Zhang Hongming a scholar of Chinese dialect protection.

Coming into the town of Santa Catarina Palopó, in the highlands of Lake Atitlán in Guatemala, the first thing you notice is the bright colors. Most of the buildings along the main street are eye-catching, in deep, varied hues of blues and greens; interspersed with red and yellow to form complex patterns and designs.
Santa Catarina Palopó was once a sleepy town of 5,000 people, most of them indigenous (土著的) and dependent on agricultural work. As agriculture began to dry up here, decline for the town and poverty for many of its families came. To deal with poverty and stimulate economic growth through tourism, a small but mighty group of laborers, artisans, domestic workers and stay-at-home moms created the Pintando Santa Catarina Palopó project.
The project was initially to paint all 850 homes and buildings in bright colors, in an effort to change the hillside town into a work of art. “We wanted to paint the houses with colors and figures that represent the community,” says the project’s executive director Stephany Blanco. “A range of designs were created so that families can choose designs for their house that are representative of the family.”
One of the most representative characteristics of the region is the blue huipil, a traditional blouse which has been worn prominently by local women since the 16th century. That deep sky blue was chosen as the primary color for the Pintando project, with secondary colors found in the sunsets and the nearby lake to make the design more attractive. As for the designs that would be used, they would also find inspiration in local culture, symbols such as volcanoes, flowers, Mayan-styled butterflies and the national bird of Guatemala.
Each week, local artists, community members and tourists pick up paintbrushes to make buildings colorful. “At first, the idea of the project left many unsure about participating, but now you can see a considerable difference in the town,” Melissa Whitbeck said. “The color of the buildings is believed to improve the quality of life of the people. It uplifts the people’s mood and encourages them to be proud of where they come from.”
32. What problem did Santa Catarina Palopó face
A. A labor shortage. B. Poor economic conditions.
C A rapid increase in population. D. Outdated agricultural technology.
33. What is the project about
A. Building art galleries in Guatemala.
B. Creating job opportunities for local artisans.
C. Developing local tourism by selling artworks.
D. Transforming the town into a cultural destination.
34. What is the inspiration of the primary color for the project
A. The nearby lake. B. Mayan-styled butterflies.
C. A type of traditional clothing. D. The national bird of Guatemala.
35. What is Melissa’s attitude towards the project
A. Positive. B. Uncaring. C. Ambiguous. D. Disapproving.

Once upon a time, in a quiet countryside, there lived a humble farmer with a heart as vast as his fields. He had a litter of adorable puppies that he needed to find new homes for. One sunny morning, he decided to paint a sign advertising the puppies and set off to nail it to a post at the edge of his yard.
As he hammered in the last nail, he felt a small hand pulling at his clothes. Looking down, he saw the sincere eyes of a little boy looking up at him. The boy said. “Sir. I want to buy one of your puppies.”
The farmer, wiping the sweat from his face, replied, “Well, these puppies come from fine parents and costa good deal of money.” The boy’s head drooped (下垂) for a moment, but he reached into his pocket and pulled out a handful of change, holding it up to the farmer. “I’ve got 89 cents. Is that enough at least to take a look ”
The farmer’s heart warmed, and he smiled, saying, “Of course.” He then let out a whistle (口哨), calling, “Here, Dolly!” With that, a charming sight appeared as Dolly and her four adorable pups rushed out from the doghouse and down the slope. The little boy pressed his face against the fence, his eyes dancing with delight.
As the four puppies approached the fence, the boy noticed something moving inside the doghouse. Slowly, another little fur ball appeared, obviously smaller than the others, It wobbled (摇晃) down the slope, doing its best to catch up. The boy was very excited, and he pointed to the puppy, saying, “I want that one.”
The farmer, however, knelt down at the boy’s side and gently said, “Son, you won’t want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would.”

Maggie, a girl of thirteen years old, lived on the west coast of the United States. She had never experienced an earthquake before; she only prepared for it. As long as she could remember, preparing for an earthquake was common at her school. Her family had made plans as well in case of a natural disaster.
One day, Maggie arrived home from school at the usual time. However, it was not the same as usual. She was home alone. Her mom would be driving home on the busy freeway and her dad was to arrive at the airport. He was coming home from a two-week business trip.
After finishing her homework, Maggie felt a little hungry, so she went to the kitchen to find something to eat: Just then she felt a shake, then the violent shaking. Maggie quickly ran under the large table in the dining room. The sounds of breaking glass and the crashing of many things were deafening, and Maggie hugged herself in fear.
After what seemed like a very long time, the earthquake appeared to be over. Maggie could hear the sound of water rushing below her in the basement. And there was the smell of natural gas in the air. Maggie knew where the main water valve(阀门) was and how to turn it off. Dad had ever shown her before.
Slowly and carefully she came out from under the table. The once tidy home was then almost unrecognizable. Walls had fallen down and many things in the room were in a mess. As Maggie approached the open basement door, she could see the steps. Carefully she made her way down into the dark basement.
While placing her feet firmly on the floor, Maggie felt a sudden pain as a large wood hit her head and shoulder. She fell unconscious onto a pile of boxes. An hour later, she woke up and found her parents beside her. She was happy that she was still alive!
24. What can we infer from the first paragraph
A. Earthquake are the main natural disasters in the US.
B. Maggie’s parents taught her how to survive in an earthquake.
C. Earthquakes occur often in the west of the US.
D. Magpie has some self-help knowledge in earthquakes.

C. She was hurt on the way to turning off the water valve.
D. She had experienced an earthquake before.
27. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. A story of a girl in an earthquake. B. The importance of preparing for an earthquake.
C The ways to escape from an earthquake. D. The danger of an earthquake.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了13岁的Maggie居住在美国西海岸，她以前从来没有经历过地震。一天，她独自在家时，经历了地震。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段“She had never experienced an earthquake before; she only prepared for it. As long as she could remember, preparing for an earthquake was common at her school. Her family had made plans as well in case of a natural disaster.(她以前从来没有经历过地震，她只是为它做了准备。从她能记事起，为地震做准备在她的学校就很常见。她的家人也制定了应对自然灾害的计划。)”可推知，Maggie有在地震中自救的知识。故选D。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Maggie hugged herself in fear(Maggie害怕得抱住自己)”可知，玻璃破碎的声音和许多东西的碰撞声让Maggie感到很害怕，画线词deafening用来描述声音，故可知deafening意为“非常大声，震耳欲聋的”之意。故选A。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段“Maggie could hear the sound of water rushing below her in the basement(Maggie能听到地下室里水在她下面奔流的声音)”和“Maggie knew where the main water valve(阀门) was and how to turn it off(Maggie知道主水阀在哪里，也知道怎么关掉它)”及第六段第一句“While placing her feet firmly on the floor, Maggie felt a sudden pain as a large wood hit her head and shoulder(正当她稳稳地把脚放在地板上时，一块大木头击中了她的头和肩膀，她突然感到一阵疼痛)”可知，Maggie在去关水阀的路上被木头砸伤了。故选C。
【27题详解】

Do you speak a dialect (方言) in daily life While many Chinese people speak Mandarin (普通话), some local dialects are in danger of disappearing. To save them, the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project (中国语言资源保护工程) a few years ago.
This project looks at how people talk in 1,712 places. Their languages include 103 dialects that are almost gone. It has helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world. There’s an online library where people can learn dialects from over 5.6 million audio clips (音频) and over 5 million videos.
Why is it important to protect the dialect culture According to British linguist Harold Palmer, dialects are a key to store local cultures. Language faithfully shows the history, the beliefs and the biases (偏见) of an area, he said.
Scholar Zhang Hongming talked about his concerns of the disappearing of dialects, “For about over 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect. Meanwhile, young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. If this keeps happening, the dialect might disappear,” he said.
So how did China make this big library “A big national effort has been put into the project to make it happen,” said Cao Zhiyun, chief expert on the project. Over five years, more than 350 universities and research groups joined in, along with over 4,500 experts and more than 6,000 dialect speakers.
The project is now entering into its second part. This includes creating digital tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people learn dialects.
28. What is the purpose of the project
A. To teach people Mandarin. B. To protect dialects.
C. To develop people’s speaking skills. D. To show ways of talking.
29. How many audio clips are collected in this project
A. 103. B. 1,712. C. 5 million. D. Over 5.6 million.
30. What is the situation of Wu dialect according to Zhang Hongming
A. It is in danger of disappearance.
B. It is widely spoken in Suzhou.
C. It has more than 6,000 dialect speakers.
D It is taught in more than 350 universities.
31. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. China online language resource library.
B. Cao Zhiyun, chief expert on the project.
C. The Chinese Language Resources Protection Project.
D. Zhang Hongming, a scholar of Chinese dialect protection.

Coming into the town of Santa Catarina Palopó, in the highlands of Lake Atitlán in Guatemala, the first thing you notice is the bright colors. Most of the buildings along the main street are eye-catching, in deep, varied hues of blues and greens; interspersed with red and yellow to form complex patterns and designs.
Santa Catarina Palopó was once a sleepy town of 5,000 people, most of them indigenous (土著的) and dependent on agricultural work. As agriculture began to dry up here, decline for the town and poverty for many of its families came. To deal with poverty and stimulate economic growth through tourism, a small but mighty group of laborers, artisans, domestic workers and stay-at-home moms created the Pintando Santa Catarina Palopó project.
The project was initially to paint all 850 homes and buildings in bright colors, in an effort to change the hillside town into a work of art. “We wanted to paint the houses with colors and figures that represent the community,” says the project’s executive director Stephany Blanco. “A range of designs were created so that families can choose designs for their house that are representative of the family.”
One of the most representative characteristics of the region is the blue huipil, a traditional blouse which has been worn prominently by local women since the 16th century. That deep sky blue was chosen as the primary color for the Pintando project, with secondary colors found in the sunsets and the nearby lake to make the design more attractive. As for the designs that would be used, they would also find inspiration in local culture, symbols such as volcanoes, flowers, Mayan-styled butterflies and the national bird of Guatemala.
Each week, local artists, community members and tourists pick up paintbrushes to make buildings colorful. “At first, the idea of the project left many unsure about participating, but now you can see a considerable difference in the town,” Melissa Whitbeck said. “The color of the buildings is believed to improve the quality of life of the people. It uplifts the people’s mood and encourages them to be proud of where they come from.”
32. What problem did Santa Catarina Palopó face
A. A labor shortage. B. Poor economic conditions.
C. A rapid increase in population. D. Outdated agricultural technology.
33 What is the project about
A. Building art galleries in Guatemala.
B. Creating job opportunities for local artisans.
C. Developing local tourism by selling artworks.
D. Transforming the town into a cultural destination.
34. What is the inspiration of the primary color for the project
A. The nearby lake. B. Mayan-styled butterflies.
C. A type of traditional clothing. D. The national bird of Guatemala.
35. What is Melissa’s attitude towards the project
A. Positive. B. Uncaring. C. Ambiguous. D. Disapproving.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. A
【解析】

推理判断题。根据第二段“As agriculture began to dry up here, decline for the town and poverty for many of its families came. To deal with poverty and stimulate economic growth through tourism, a small but mighty group of laborers, artisans, domestic workers and stay-at-home moms created the Pintando Santa Catarina Palopó project.（随着这里的农业开始枯竭，小镇开始衰落，许多家庭陷入贫困。为了解决贫困问题，并通过旅游业刺激经济增长，一个由劳工、工匠、家政工人和全职妈妈组成的规模虽小但力量强大的团体创建了Pintando Santa Catarina Palopó项目。）”可知，圣卡塔琳娜帕洛波镇面临经济状况不佳的情况。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The project was initially to paint all 850 homes and buildings in bright colors, in an effort to change the hillside town into a work of art.（该项目最初是将所有850个住宅和建筑涂成明亮的颜色，努力将山坡小镇变成一件艺术品。）”可知，这个项目是关于把这个城镇变成一个文化目的地。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“One of the most representative characteristics of the region is the blue huipil, a traditional blouse which has been worn prominently by local women since the 16th century. That deep sky blue was chosen as the primary color for the Pintando project, with secondary colors found in the sunsets and the nearby lake to make the design more attractive. As for the designs that would be used, they would also find inspiration in local culture, symbols such as volcanoes, flowers, Mayan-styled butterflies and the national bird of Guatemala.（该地区最具代表性的特征之一是蓝色的徽衫，这是一种传统的衬衫，自16世纪以来一直是当地妇女的突出穿着。深天蓝色被选为Pintando项目的主色调，在日落和附近的湖泊中发现次要颜色，使设计更具吸引力。至于使用的设计，他们也会从当地文化中寻找灵感，比如火山、鲜花、玛雅风格的蝴蝶和危地马拉的国鸟。）可知，该项目的主色调灵感来自一种传统服装。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“‘At first, the idea of the project left many unsure about participating, but now you can see a considerable difference in the town,’ Melissa Whitbeck said. ‘The color of the buildings is believed to improve the quality of life of the people. It uplifts the people’s mood and encourages them to be proud of where they come from.’（梅丽莎怀特贝克说: “起初，该项目的想法让许多人不确定是否要参与，但现在你可以看到这个小镇有了相当大的变化。”建筑物的颜色被认为可以提高人们的生活质量。它提升了人们的情绪，鼓励他们为自己的家乡感到自豪。）”可知，梅丽莎对这个项目的态度是积极的。故选A。

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Once upon a time, in a quiet countryside, there lived a humble farmer with a heart as vast as his fields. He had a litter of adorable puppies that he needed to find new homes for. One sunny morning, he decided to paint a sign advertising the puppies and set off to nail it to a post at the edge of his yard.
As he hammered in the last nail, he felt a small hand pulling at his clothes. Looking down, he saw the sincere eyes of a little boy looking up at him. The boy said. “Sir. I want to buy one of your puppies.”
The farmer, wiping the sweat from his face, replied, “Well, these puppies come from fine parents and costa good deal of money.” The boy’s head drooped (下垂) for a moment, but he reached into his pocket and pulled out a handful of change, holding it up to the farmer. “I’ve got 89 cents. Is that enough at least to take a look ”
The farmer’s heart warmed, and he smiled, saying, “Of course.” He then let out a whistle (口哨), calling, “Here, Dolly!” With that, a charming sight appeared as Dolly and her four adorable pups rushed out from the doghouse and down the slope. The little boy pressed his face against the fence, his eyes dancing with delight.
As the four puppies approached the fence, the boy noticed something moving inside the doghouse. Slowly, another little fur ball appeared, obviously smaller than the others, It wobbled (摇晃) down the slope, doing its best to catch up. The boy was very excited, and he pointed to the puppy, saying, “I want that one.”
The farmer, however, knelt down at the boy’s side and gently said, “Son, you won’t want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

The little boy’s face lit up with gratitude (感激).
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The boy took a step back, showing his disabled left leg. The farmer noticed the boy’s leg for the first time and realized why he wanted the puppy that was struggling to keep up. The boy looked up at the farmer and said, “Sir, I don’t run very well myself, so I understand. That puppy will need someone like me who can understand and love him just the way he is.”
The little boy’s face lit up with gratitude. “Thank you, sir,” he said. “You have given me the best gift anyone could ever give. I promise to take good care of him and love him forever.” The farmer felt a warmth in his heart as he watched the little boy hug the puppy tightly. He knew that he had made the right decision. With a final nod and a smile, the farmer handed the puppy over to the boy. As the boy walked away, the farmer couldn’t help but think about the power of kindness and how a simple act of compassion could change a life forever. From that day on, the farmer continued to spread kindness wherever he went, knowing that it was the greatest gift of all.
