五、阅读理解
We can see circles, squares and triangles everywhere in our life. 47 Much like colors, different shapes can show different features of characters in the scenes.
Circles represent things that are soft and natural. The round shape reminds us of things that appear in nature, like the sun, flowers, raindrops and so on. 48 All these things make us feel happy and warm. This is why so many cartoon characters’ bodies—heroes, kids, good people—are round in shape, because circles represent goodness, happiness and friendliness.
Squares show things that are unnatural or man-made, or things that are boring or old-fashioned. In Up, Carl, an elderly man, has a square face and wears square glasses, while Russell, an 8-year-old boy with a round face, always wears round medals. 49 Carl is stubborn (固执的) and lonely, while Russell is lovely and full of energy.
50 Every kid who draws a monster with sharp teeth draws a row of triangles, don’t they That’s because the shape represents fear, distrust and doubt in some way. Look at the bad guy in cartoons—they are all drawn with plenty of point s and triangles, like Sheng Gongbao in Ne Zha. And triangles are stable and don’t easily fall down. 51
Not only in cartoons, but also in other kinds of films, different shapes are used for the same purpose. So, next time you see a film, try to find the hidden shapes and you will know what the characters are like.
A．The angriest shape is the triangle.
B．These shapes show the characters’ personalities.
C．In films, this feature makes bad people difficult to deal with.
D．Have you thought about their meanings in films
E．We can also connect circles with beautiful eyes, babies’ round faces...
F．In this way, these shapes can help make films better.
①Have you ever thought about what’s more important, looking fashionable or feeling comfortable You might have noticed many people choosing style over comfort and some even go to extremes (极端) to follow fashion. But we should remember: being fashionable isn’t everything. It’s more important to be healthy.
②Some people believe that they need to be a certain size to look good. So, they start extreme diets that are not good for their health. They might not eat meals or eat too little, which can make them feel sick. Is it a healthy way to live
③Also, many girls wear shoes with very high heels. They might think high heels make them look taller. But these shoes can actually hurt their feet and make it hard to walk comfortably, and it can increase risks of falls. Some even wear tight (紧的) clothes that influence blood circulation (循环), making it hard to breathe. Should we put fashion over comfort and physical health
④Besides, some boys and girls spend a lot of time and money changing their hair color. The material they use is usually harmful to their health. To make their hair straight or curly, they also use tools that are hot enough to burn their hair. But using these tools too often or at very high temperatures can make the hair dry or even burnt. Is it really worth it to risk our health, spending so much time and money
⑤So, let’s rethink what’s really important. Is it fashion or is it our well-being Clothes or hairstyles don’t tell us anything about a person’s character. Instead of spending a lot of time choosing clothes, we could use that time to do fun things with friends. And instead of following extreme diets, let’s eat properly and exercise regularly. Remember, your worth is not decided by your appearance, but by who you are as a person.
52．Why do some people go on extreme diets according to the passage
A．Because the diets are healthy. B．Because they just want to look good.

A．To ask for help from readers. B．To tell how to spend time and money.
C．To describe the latest fashion. D．To lead readers to think about the topic.
54．What does the underlined word “well-being” in Paragraph 5 mean
A．Growth. B．Health. C．Warmth. D．Wealth.
55．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage ______
A． B． C． D．
56．How does the writer start the text
A．By giving a suggestion. B．By giving an example.
C．By asking a question. D．By telling a story.

You may sometimes notice athletes with purple circled on their skin from cupping. Or maybe you know someone who swears (极其信赖) acupuncture for their back pain. More and more people use practiced from traditional Chinese medicine like these not only to fight diseases, but also to prevent it.
TCM is short for traditional Chinese medicine. It is an ancient system of health and wellness. It’s been used in China for thousands of years. Western a puncture medicine focuses mainly on treating diseases. But TCM looks at your entire well-being.
Western medicine tends to view the body a lot like a car. It has different systems that need the right inputs and outputs. It’s very specific (具体的) and logical.
TCM is based on balance, harmony (和谐) and energy. There are two central ideas behind TCM. One is qi, the other is yin and yang. Qi is also called life energy or vital energy. The belief is that it runs throughout your body. It’s always on the move and continually changes. TCM treatments often focus on ways to pro mole and maintain the flow of qi.
Yin and yang are opposite that describe the qualities of qi. The belief is that everything in life has a little bit of its opposite, too, and balance is the key. For example, a drug from your doctor might cure diseases. But it’s dangerous if you take too much of it.
According to TCM, these ideas play out in our bodies. When you balance the bin and bang of qi, you feel healthy and well. If they’re in disorder, you feel sick. TCM aims to create harmony and a healthy flow of qi.
Experts believe it’s safe, if you go to someone who knows what they’re doing. This is especially true of acupuncture, tai chi, and cupping. With a little background on how it’s used, I believe you can make wise choice to improve your health.
77．How long has TCM been used in China
78．What is TCM based on
79．When do you feel healthy and well according to TCM
80．If you don’t feel well, would you like to try TCM Why

81．例文
What to do in an earthquake
Earthquakes always happen suddenly, so it is difficult to warn people about them. Here is some advice for you to keep safe.
When you’re inside, you mustn’t jump out of high buildings. You can hide under a table. And you should stay away from windows and heavy furniture. You’d better leave the building quickly when the ground stops shaking. But don’t use the lifts.
When you are outside, you’d better keep away from bridges, trees, street lights or power lines. When you’re in a car or bus, you should stay in it. When you are in the mountains, you should be careful of falling rocks. What’s more, you must keep calm, be brave and be helpful.
If you follow the advice, you can be safe and help save others.
