hopeful shows upset direct focus beat stone power however us pride
Water is the softest thing in nature, but Lao Zi really admired it. The gentleness of water does not mean weakness, but rather it 44 a spirit of perseverance (毅力) and determination (决心). Compared to those hard 45 , water is gentle. 46 , with continued efforts over time, even water droplets (水滴) can break through hard rocks. Water reminds 47 that once we have chosen our goal, we need to stick to our plan.
So, if you are the weaker one, don’t be 48 . You should 49 on what you are doing and never give up. And if you are the stronger one, don’t be too proud because anyone weaker than you still has a chance 50 you. King Goujian of Yue gave up his 51 to meet the unreasonable demands (无理的要求) of Fuchai, the king of Wu. Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty avoided fighting Xiang Yu 52 . Instead, he built up his 53 over time and defeated Xiang Yu’s army in one final war. These people show us that in order to succeed, we should keep a 54 attitude. We need to think wisely about the balance of power, and stay focused on our goals.

For his whole life, Peralta dreamed about playing catch.
When he was born, his right hand didn’t fully develop, with only tiny (极小的) fingers at the end of his arm. So he learned to write, eat and carry books with only one hand. Over the years, he lost hope that anything would change. On his first day of high school, he felt like hiding his hand in his sleeve (袖子), so nobody would ever find out.
But his classmates, to his surprise, supported him in a way he never expected. The school’s engineering teacher, Jeff Wilkins, came and told him that his students might be able to help. They offered to build Peralta a prosthetic (假体的) hand.
The students searched online and made a plan. After four weeks, they started the project. They used a common material in 3D printing as the hand’s main material. Another elastic (有弹性的) plastic material commonly found in phone covers was used to make the fingers flex (屈伸). They added a fishing line, so Peralta could tie the hand to his forearm.
Bob Cotter, the headmaster of the school, said, “The students have turned ideas into real ones and Peralta’s new prosthesis reflects that the students care about each other.”
Peralta was even able to catch a baseball with the prosthetic hand created by his classmates. “When I caught it for the first time, everyone started freaking out,” Peralta said, “It was the first time I caught a ball with my right hand in my 15 years.”
58．On the first day of high school, Peralta felt ________ about his hand.
A．angry B．hopeless
C．nervous D．speechless
59．Para.3 is mainly about the classmates’ ________.
A．kindness B．surprise
C．abilities D．expectations
60．According to Para.4, the prosthetic hand was ________.
A．finished in only four weeks
B．tied to Peralta’s right forearm
C．printed out of a common material
D．made out of used phone covers
61．The underlined phrase “freaking out” in paragraph 6 means ________.
A．getting worried B．becoming excited
C．calming down D．feeling embarrassed
62．Why did the writer probably write the passage
A．To help the boy play catch.
B．To think up some wonder ideas.
C．To talk about a boy’s dream.
D．To praise the students’ love and care.
C
Can you say the meaning of “zero” Can you do addition and subtraction (加减法) Most people can. But do you know bees can do these things too A study shows that bees have even greater math abilities. After some training, they can know the difference between even numbers (ending in 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8) and odd numbers (ending in 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9).
Some Australian scientists put up different cards with an odd or even number of triangles (三角形). They used the numbers 1 to 10. Then they trained the first group of bees to choose odd numbers and the second group to choose even numbers. If a bee flew to the right card, it would get sugar water; if not, it got bitter water.
In a short time all the bees knew what odd numbers or even numbers were. They could fly to the right numbers 80% of the time. After that, the scientists added new cards with the numbers 11 and 12. The bees never saw the numbers in their training before, but they could choose rightly 70% of the time. Surprisingly, the bees even learned odd numbers more quickly than humans.
How did the bees learn the numbers so fast Scientists believe that finding the answer will help them build better and faster computers. But they don’t have a clear idea yet. In fact, a bee’s brain is much smaller than ours!
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
63．How did the scientists show the numbers to the bees
A．By cards with different colors.
B．By cards with different numbers.
C．By cards with pictures of flowers.
D．By cards with pictures of triangles.
64．What does the underlined word “bitter” mean in the text
A．Not hot. B．Not cold. C．Not sour. D．Not sweet.
65．What was the result of adding new numbers 11 and 12
A．The bees could no longer recognize any numbers.
B．The bees could choose correctly 70% of the time.
C．The bees could not recognize these new numbers.
D．The bees could choose correctly 80% of the time.
66．What do we know about bees
A．Bees’ brain sizes are similar to humans’.
B．Bees learn numbers more quickly than humans.
C．Bees cannot tell odd numbers from even numbers.
D．Bees prefer even numbers more than odd numbers.
67．What does the text mainly talk about
A．Different kinds of bees.
B．The importance of math in bee behavior.
C．The training of bees to recognize numbers.
D．The differences between humans’ and bees’ math abilities.
D
Even if you shop with plastic bags, always remember to recycle them. Most families don’t realize the importance of eco-friendly living—especially children. So how can you help children start seeing green Well, here are a few suggestions.
1. Don’t buy toys—borrow instead. If kids are concerned, most toys start to lose their shine (光彩). Don’t let the unloved toys gather dust around the house, instead, join a local toy library, give them to the library. And if you do buy new toys, try to buy toys made from wood and other eco-friendly materials.
2. Spend time outside. Make sure your child spends time learning to be outside. Let him / her get involved in nature by planting a tree, building a birdhouse, or taking a bike ride in a nearby park.
3. Teach green. Even if your child doesn’t receive an environmental education in the classroom, there’s no reason that you can’t spread the word at home. Let your kid help out with separating (分类) your recyclables.
4. Stick with eco-friendly entertainment. Most kids may not seem like interested in the subject on the environment, but put it in a TV show and they’ll change their minds. Give them a taste of the online cartoon show, and you’ll finally find the children learn it happily and relaxingly.
68．The writer suggests giving the unloved toys to ________.
A．poor children B．sick kids
C．schools D．a toy library
69．How many suggestions does the writer mention in the passage
A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six.
70．The underlined word “involved” probably means ________ in Chinese.
A．感兴趣 B．学习 C．参与 D．放松
71．How can we give some environmental education to children at home
A．By letting them watch the online cartoon show.
B．By telling them stories about recycling.
C．By asking them to help separate the recyclables.
D．By planting trees in the garden.
72．Where can you read this passage in a newspaper
A．Green Life. B．Technology and inventions
C．Travel World. D．Science Study.
B) 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面方框内的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整，并在答题卡上将其序号涂黑。一空一句。
Every year, with the Spring Festival on its way, it’s time to start thinking about everyone’s favorite topic: gifts! More specifically (确切地), 73 .
This means that each place has different gift habits due to its culture. I have found gift-giving to be quite different in China from my home country.
One example is the time of when to open a gift. The person who gives a gift is called the “gifter”. The person who gets a gift is called the “giftee”. In the US, 74 . The gifter wants to see the giftee’s reaction of excitement and joy. In China, however, it’s more polite to thank the gifter for the gift but open it later in the giftee’s home.
75 . Although people in the US might give money to their children, it is usually done very secretly with the money put in a card and not discussed out loud. In China, it is much more open. For example, kids get lucky money from parents during the Spring Festival.
Finally, the value of the gift can play a big role in China. 76 . An expensive gift in the US is usually greeted with great excitement. But in China, it can make the giftee feel embarrassed because of a sense of having to return the favor in the future to the gifter.
As the old saying goes, “When in Rome, does the Romans do.” 77 . So, next time you give a gift to somebody, remember that culture and meaning are part of every action we take.
A．This is different from the US
B．they’re the types of the gifts you will give
C．the gifter will often want to see the giftee open the present at once
D．it’s the giving of gifts and the culture behind them
E．You’d better not break the rules where you are staying
F．It’s necessary to know the different traditions about giving gifts
G．Also, I find the difference is the openness and directness of giving money

For his whole life, Peralta dreamed about playing catch.
When he was born, his right hand didn’t fully develop, with only tiny (极小的) fingers at the end of his arm. So he learned to write, eat and carry books with only one hand. Over the years, he lost hope that anything would change. On his first day of high school, he felt like hiding his hand in his sleeve (袖子), so nobody would ever find out.
But his classmates, to his surprise, supported him in a way he never expected. The school’s engineering teacher, Jeff Wilkins, came and told him that his students might be able to help. They offered to build Peralta a prosthetic (假体的) hand.
The students searched online and made a plan. After four weeks, they started the project. They used a common material in 3D printing as the hand’s main material. Another elastic (有弹性的) plastic material commonly found in phone covers was used to make the fingers flex (屈伸). They added a fishing line, so Peralta could tie the hand to his forearm.
Bob Cotter, the headmaster of the school, said, “The students have turned ideas into real ones and Peralta’s new prosthesis reflects that the students care about each other.”
Peralta was even able to catch a baseball with the prosthetic hand created by his classmates. “When I caught it for the first time, everyone started freaking out,” Peralta said, “It was the first time I caught a ball with my right hand in my 15 years.”

Can you say the meaning of “zero” Can you do addition and subtraction (加减法) Most people can. But do you know bees can do these things too A study shows that bees have even greater math abilities. After some training, they can know the difference between even numbers (ending in 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8) and odd numbers (ending in 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9).
Some Australian scientists put up different cards with an odd or even number of triangles (三角形). They used the numbers 1 to 10. Then they trained the first group of bees to choose odd numbers and the second group to choose even numbers. If a bee flew to the right card, it would get sugar water; if not, it got bitter water.
In a short time all the bees knew what odd numbers or even numbers were. They could fly to the right numbers 80% of the time. After that, the scientists added new cards with the numbers 11 and 12. The bees never saw the numbers in their training before, but they could choose rightly 70% of the time. Surprisingly, the bees even learned odd numbers more quickly than humans.
How did the bees learn the numbers so fast Scientists believe that finding the answer will help them build better and faster computers. But they don’t have a clear idea yet. In fact, a bee’s brain is much smaller than ours!

Even if you shop with plastic bags, always remember to recycle them. Most families don’t realize the importance of eco-friendly living—especially children. So how can you help children start seeing green Well, here are a few suggestions.
1. Don’t buy toys—borrow instead. If kids are concerned, most toys start to lose their shine (光彩). Don’t let the unloved toys gather dust around the house, instead, join a local toy library, give them to the library. And if you do buy new toys, try to buy toys made from wood and other eco-friendly materials.
2. Spend time outside. Make sure your child spends time learning to be outside. Let him / her get involved in nature by planting a tree, building a birdhouse, or taking a bike ride in a nearby park.
3. Teach green. Even if your child doesn’t receive an environmental education in the classroom, there’s no reason that you can’t spread the word at home. Let your kid help out with separating (分类) your recyclables.
4. Stick with eco-friendly entertainment. Most kids may not seem like interested in the subject on the environment, but put it in a TV show and they’ll change their minds. Give them a taste of the online cartoon show, and you’ll finally find the children learn it happily and relaxingly.

Every year, with the Spring Festival on its way, it’s time to start thinking about everyone’s favorite topic: gifts! More specifically (确切地), 73 .
This means that each place has different gift habits due to its culture. I have found gift-giving to be quite different in China from my home country.
One example is the time of when to open a gift. The person who gives a gift is called the “gifter”. The person who gets a gift is called the “giftee”. In the US, 74 . The gifter wants to see the giftee’s reaction of excitement and joy. In China, however, it’s more polite to thank the gifter for the gift but open it later in the giftee’s home.
75 . Although people in the US might give money to their children, it is usually done very secretly with the money put in a card and not discussed out loud. In China, it is much more open. For example, kids get lucky money from parents during the Spring Festival.
Finally, the value of the gift can play a big role in China. 76 . An expensive gift in the US is usually greeted with great excitement. But in China, it can make the giftee feel embarrassed because of a sense of having to return the favor in the future to the gifter.
