Imagine being able to see perfectly in the dark. This dream has become a reality because of a newly developed technology. This technology is made up of a thin film that will be placed on the lenses (镜片) of regular glasses. The film is inexpensive to make, easy to produce, and is lightweight. It is actually 100 times thinner than a hair. Yet, though it is tiny, its performance is impressive. This special film allows you to see in the dark.
This technology is able to change infrared (红外线辐射) light, normally invisible (看不见的) to the human eye, and turn this into images people can pared to animals, humans have very impoverished night vision. Over the years, night vision devices (设备) have been developed to help the medical, industrial, and scientific worlds. Scientists are able to study night-time animals by using infrared cameras, while companies use infrared imaging for food quality control.
Traditional infrared devices work by discovering the heat of an object. They use a cooler in low temperature and can be easily influenced by the heat noise. Such shortcoming led the team into exploring an improved device. Their new device is able to work at room temperature.
As the new technology is unlike the traditional devices, it has many future uses. Once this new night vision is available (可得的) to all, it could save lives. Drivers will be able to see better at night, especially when driving on roads without light. Police can use them when searching at night, and hikers who lose their way can feel more confident walking in the dark.
The inventors are excited to make the practical application. “This is the first experiment, and we are actively working to further advance the technology. Of course, many of its uses are exciting and seeing in the dark opens up a new world for all,” said Mohsen Rahmani, lead developer of the technology.
( ) 49. What do we know about the film according to the first paragraph
A. It costs a lot to make. B. It is difficult to produce.
C. It helps us see in the dark. D. It looks like regular glasses.
( ) 50. What does the underlined word “impoverished” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Valuable. B. Clear. C. Amazing. D. Poor.
( ) 51. What can be inferred about the technology in Mohsen’s words
A. It needs to be further developed.
B. It has been available to common people.
C It is not exciting enough to scientists.
D. It has made many practical applications.
( ) 52. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Technology Is Developing Very Quickly
B. Exciting Technology Makes the Invisible Visible
C. Infrared Devices Are Very Useful In the Dark
D. Several Ways to Make People See Things More Clearly
C
My friend Julie and I are keen on creating a beautiful green town.
Gardening Course
Every September, our city has a special festival. Crowds of happy people go to the park, waving ribbons in their hands. That’s because the gardening competition takes place there.
For Julie and me, it was a pity that we couldn’t take part in the competition, for that was also the first day of our high school. We buried ourselves in choosing courses. We wanted to learn all about plants, gardening and farming. Finally, a course called Agriculture and Wildlife came into our sight. We thought it would help us succeed as gardeners.
Project Presentation
After a year’s study, Julie advised me to give a presentation. There was a small plastic model of my idea on the table. On the other side of the table, my teachers were waiting to see my project—the green farm.
“Good morning!” I said. “During my studies I’ve learned a lot about city farming. Now I want to do something with what I’ve learned.”
I showed them the model. “This is the high street of our town. This is an old, nine-floor car park. No one has used it for the last two years and it’s now for sale.”
I continued the presentation. They could see my designs on the big screen when I talked.
“I’ve designed a city farm using the car park building. There will be eight floors to farm fruit and vegetables. This design can help us collect rainwater to wet the soil. And we can also use energy from the sun to power the special growing lights.”
“I will hire the space out to local people and they’ll sell everything good enough for the environment in local shops. Also, the ninth floor will be for those who want to grow their own plants.”
My audience looked interested and my project got the highest marks in my class. But in the real world, it couldn’t happen because the car park was not available.

Later, Julie helped me search the town for the perfect place for gardening, not in front of the Town Hall or the shopping centre. We tried to look for something different. Somewhere that was not the best neighbourhood, but a poor one. One where the road was full of holes and the pavement(人行道) was all broken. At last, we made it.
In the neighbourhood, we posted letters through people’s doors with gardening instructions. More and more people cared about that and began to plant vegetable gardens.
Then in the same neighbourhood, we put grass over those broken old pavements for the kids to play on. Finally, we put up a sign that said, “Have fun here.”
When we finished we were both covered in soil and completely exhausted（筋疲力尽）. But Julie put an arm around my shoulders and smiled, “Not bad!” she said. “We can do more to make our town greener!”

“Why don’t you ever listen ” “You just don’t understand me!” “You’re of no help at all!” Sound familiar When you’re having a difficult conversation with your parents or friends, accusatory words like those can stop a discussion. As soon as one feels attacked, the defensive (防御的) walls come up, and real communication becomes all but impossible. We focus on the other person’s behavior first, without spending time thinking about and telling why we’re feeling hurt. Here lie the differences between “I” and “you” statements.
An “I-statement” is a sentence beginning with the word “I” that tells another person how you are feeling in a clear way. For example, you might say, “I feel...” or “I become nervous when...” I-statements are a powerful tool to help you express your feelings to someone else without blaming (责怪) others. “You-statements,” such as those listed above, are statements that begin with the word “you”, pointing out what other people have done wrong. These statements often mean that the listener is responsible for something.
Why are I-statements important When you start a conversation by talking about the other person’s actions, you’re sending the message that they’re the problem. For most people, this immediately leads to them becoming defensive and trying to throw blame back onto you. However, starting a sentence with ‘I’ helps us talk about difficult feelings and how the problem is affecting us, and stops other people feeling blamed. This can be seen in the case when you feel left out. Instead of saying “You always leave me out”, you can say “I feel hurt when I’m not invited because it feels like I’m not welcome”. With this I- statement, you’re being honest about your feelings, but you’re not presenting them as something the other person did to you. As a result, the listener will experience this as more friendly, opening the possibility of further conversation and hope for a solution.
It’s a simple change, but by being a little more careful of how you express yourself, you may find people are more likely to positively listen to you and understand more about what you are trying to say.
( )57.What does the underlined phrase “accusatory words” mean
A. Words that attack others. B. Words to explain reasons.
C. Words that sound familiar. D. Words to tell the truth.
( )58. Which of the following might be an “I-statement”
A. I know that everyone in the family is busy.
B. I am anxious when everything is in a mess.
C. I think you are right by telling me the truth.
D. I feel sad because you don’t listen to me carefully.
( )59. How does the writer support his idea in Paragraph 3
A. By using sayings. B. By asking questions.
C. By making a survey. D. By giving an example.
( )60. Why does the writer write this passage
A. To encourage people to use I-statements.
B. To explain when I-statements should be used.
C. To show the disadvantages of you-statements.
D. To suggest being careful of others’ you-statements.
第二节 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（本题共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）
During the Chinese New Year, people can watch colourful dragon dances in the sreet or on TV programmes. 61 It is because both in the north and in the south, Chinese can express hope for a happy life through the activity.
Dragons are respected and loved in Chinese culture. In ancient China, the dragon was thought as a mythical animal that could make clouds and bring rains, and prevent disasters and bring happiness.
62 And they are also said to scare away evil spirits and bad luck.
Guided by a big dragon ball, the dragon dancers make different kinds of movements while holding the cloth dragon. 63 As many as 9 to 15 dancers use long poles to guide the dragon’s head and snakelike body. Usually one dancer does tricks on the dragon. Tricks are often jumps and moves that make the dragon turn in different ways.
64 It is usually performed in the evening. One of Hong Kong’s modern-looking neighborhoods in Wan Chai District is home to the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance, a folk art form with a history of over 1000 years. 65 Then the villagers started to perform a fire dragon dance for three days to drive it away. Since then, around Mid-Autumn Festival every year, the villagers perform fire dragon dances to make wishes.
Today people often see dragon dances during holidays, festivals and the opening of new businesses. These performances invite wealth and good luck.

Once upon a time, there lived a wise man. Everyone respected him. His son, however, was very lazy and did nothing all day.
The wise man was 66 (worry) about his son’s future. One day, he said to his son, “I want you to go and find some treasure. I have drawn a map 67 (guide) you.” Then he handed his son a bag. Inside the bag were clothes, some food, a little money and the map.
The son set out on his long journey the next day. He had to travel across forests, rivers and mountains. Along the way, he 68 (meet) a lot of people. He was helped by some with food and by some with shelter（居所，住处）. He also came across robbers who tried to rob him. He saw changing landscapes (风景) and experienced different kinds of weather.
69 (final), after a long year, he reached the treasure’s location. He spent two days looking and 70 (dig) for the treasure, but found nothing.
Disappointed, he headed back to his home. On his way back, he experienced the same changing landscapes and seasons. Sometimes, he would stop to enjoy the 71 (beautifully) of nature. He also learned to hunt and make meals. He had to fix his own clothes and shelter himself. He was now able to tell time by the position of the sun and protect 72 (he) from wild animals. He met the same people who had helped him 73 (early) . This time, he stayed and helped them in order to repay (报答) them.
When he reached home, he apologized to his father for not finding the treasure.
“There 74 (not be) any treasure in the very first place, my son,” the father answered with a smile. “But I think you 75 (find) your life’s true purpose.”
六、短文填空 （本题共 10 小题，每小题 1 分，满分 10 分）
Most people think that the older you get, the h 76 it is to learn a new language. That is, they believe that c 77 learn more easily and efficiently than adults. Thus, at some point in our lives, maybe around age 12 or 13, we lose the ability to learn languages well. Is this idea a fact
Is it true that children learn a f 78 language more efficiently than adults On the contrary(相反), research studies suggest that the o 79 may be true. One report, on 2,000 Danish children studying Swedish, concluded that the teenagers learned more, in less time, than the younger children. Another report, on Americans learning Russian, showed a d 80 improvement of ability over the age range tested; that is, the ability to learn increased as the age increased.
There are several p 81 explanations for these findings. For one thing, adults know more about the world and therefore(因此) are a 82 to understand meanings more easily than children. What’s more, adults can use logical（逻辑的）thinking to help t 83 see patterns in the language. At last, adults have 84 self-discipline (自律) than children.
All in all, it seems that the common idea that children are better language learners than adults may not be a f 85 , but a myth (神话).
七、阅读与回答问题（本题共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）
There is a story in the book History as a Mirror (《资治通鉴》) by Chinese historian Sima Guang.
Zhi Xuanzi was head of a big clan (家族) in the State of Jin (770-476 BC). He wanted a clan member, Zhi Yao, to be his successor (继承人). However, another man in the clan, Zhi Guo, was against the idea. Zhi Guo listed some strong points of Zhi Yao. For example, he was good at riding and shooting. He was decisive and talkative. But Zhi Guo said that he had a big problem with his morals. He thought he had an unkind heart.
Still, Zhi Xuanzi didn’t listen to the idea. Zhi Yao became head of the clan. With his leadership abilities, he quickly made his clan the strongest in the State of Jin. However, because of his aggressive style, three other clans worked together to fight against the Zhi clan. Finally, the Zhi clan was beaten.
Sima Guang used this story to stress the importance of morals. Having only talent is not enough for a great person. He said that excellent people must have both talent and virtue (美德).
Those who have virtue but no talent might work inefficiently. Those who have talent but no virtue might not use their talent properly. Those who have both talent and virtue were called xiancai in ancient times. If you ask which one is more important between the two, it must be virtue. Only if a person has virtue can he or she get on the right track.
In 2018, when President Xi Jinping talked with students and teachers at Peking University, he mentioned Sima Guang’s ideas. He said good education should develop both a person’s virtues and talents. Educators must follow this idea. As students, we can also make it our goal.
