The afternoon sun shone across his room, painting the walls with golden stripes. I coughed uneasily(不安地),rubbing my shoe against the floor. Finally 11 that I was there, Rocky turned towards me with a sad smile.“I'm leaving tomorrow," he said, zipping up the bag with a sharp sound that sounded so unpleasant in the quiet room.“I know.” My 12 was almost a whisper, hardly louder than the rustling of the tree outside. I was 13 with myself for being so weak, but I wouldn't let him see me cry.“My 14 is at 6 a.m., so I'll need to leave for the airport by 4," he explained, checking his watch. Seeing the 15 look on my face, he quickly added, “Don't worry, I promise I won't leave without saying goodbye." His voice was soft, like the way he used to calm me down during thunderstorms.I opened my mouth to say 16 , but the words stuck in my throat. It's always 17 to keep quiet when your voice might betray(出卖)you.“You promised you wouldn’t cry," he smiled, thinking I was 18 to tears.A memory went through my mind: the summer afternoon when he taught me to ride a bike. 19, I believed his strong hands were firmly holding the seat, keeping me from 20 . But halfway down the hill, I looked back and saw him standing far behind, arms crossed. “You didn't need me,” he'd laughed. Now,facing his departure(离开),I understood-he was teaching me to balance on my own again.His sudden coughing snapped me back to the present. What was 21 to say How could I thank someone who taught me to tie my shoes, face bullies, and laugh at my own mistakes The next morning, I woke up to the sound of rain tapping against the window. The alarm clock read 8:17a.m.-his plane was already in the sky. We'd 22 our last goodbye.But as I whispered “Goodbye, Rocky," into the empty room, the wind chimes outside tinkled gently. Somewhere, beyond the clouds, I knew he heard me.11.A.forgetting B. realizing C. watching D. learning12.A.voice B.sound C.noise D.word13.A.glad B.moved C.angry D.pleased14.A.ship B.flight C.train D.bus15.A.surprised B.excited C.sad D.happy16.A.anything B.everything C.something D.nothing17.A.stranger B.better C.worse D.easier18.A.close B.similar C.used D.afraid19.A.At last B.Since C.At first D.So far20.A.riding B.running C.walking D.falling21.A.left B.leaving C.remained D.remaining22.A.heard B.lost C.said D.missed三、阅读理解(共14小题;每小题2分,满分28分)阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 ASummer is a great time to improve your child's reading!Reading over the summer can help your child keep up his or her reading gains during the past school year and can also prepare him or her for the next year!Studies show that students who read regularly during the summer do better in schoolwork and keep knowledge more effectively.

Recently, a team of divers working for a diamond company were searching for diamonds under the sea when they made an exciting discovery. The divers had just started digging when they uncovered a few gold coins and also some pieces of metal and wood. Although they didn't know what the objects were, they realized they had to stop work and report to a historical expert called Derek Ambrose.Ambrose is based in the city of Cape Town in South Africa, and he mainly looks at-anything of historical importance found in the Namibian desert. However, Ambrose already knew about the digging that the divers were doing under the sea. As soon as he received the photographs of what they had found, he decided to visit the place and invited his former teacher, Bruce Warner to help him do research into the discovery.They quickly realized that the divers had discovered a sunken(沉没的)ship. Based on what the ship was carrying, they believe that the ship sank in the late 1400s or early 1500s. Ambrose and Warner are now trying to fit the pieces of information they have into a story. They divide their time between looking at the remains of the ship under the sea off the West African coast and doing research in museums and libraries in Cape Town. Soon they will leave for Europe and go to Portugal or Spain to search for records of a ship that went missing with similar items on board. Ambrose believes the ship was on government business-probably looking for enough metal to make big guns.What sank the ship may remain a mystery. But Ambrose has several ideas: this coast was well known for storms and thick fogs. Even today sailors keep away from it, though they have more detailed maps and better equipment. He has found pieces of wood from the ship with large holes and repairs done by sailors, so the ship was clearly old, even then.26.The followings are the remains of the sunken ship Except.A. some wood B. some coins C. some metal D. some diamonds27.What is the correct order of the events a. Ambrose and Warner plan to look for records in Europe.b. Ambrose knew about the digging for diamonds under the sea.c. Ambrose visited the place and invited his teacher Warner.d. Ambrose and Warner studied the remains of the ship.e. The divers found some coins and metal under the sea.A. b-e-c-d-a B. e-b-c-a-d C. b-e-a-c-d D. e-b-d-c-a28.What can you infer from the passage A. The divers knew they had found a sunken ship at first.B. The weather of the coast is not good for sailing.C. The ship was on government business to look for enough gold.D. The ship was a new one before it sank in the sea.CIf you are on a bus or train, you've probably noticed that most people spend the ride looking at their cell phones. No doubt, they think doing nothing but sit there would be boring, so they prefer distracting themselves.But results from new research suggest we should rethink that choice. We are probably underestimating (低估)how enjoyable and interesting it is to do nothing but pay attention to wherever our thoughts take us.In a series of experiments, Researchers asked Japanese university students to stay alone in a room for 20minutes.The participants(参与者)could think about anything while waiting. But they were not allowed to use phones, sleep, walk, or check the time. Before going in, they thought the experience would be boring. However, after the 20 minutes, they reported enjoying it much more than they had thought. Even in a dark, quiet room, they were more interested.“People don't realize the real value of waiting and thinking," says researcher Kou Murayama. “Once they take part in it,though,they appreciate it.” Spontaneous(自发的)thinking often includes mind-wandering(走神),daydreaming,thinking about the future,or recollecting memories,all of which can have upsides. For example, daydreaming and mind-wandering have been found to improve our mood, creativity, goal-setting, and job performance.Though it’s hard to know if these results with students would apply (适用) to the rest of us,Kou Murayama compared German and Japanese students and found both groups made similar mistakes in predicting how they’d teel. This suggests that it’s not necessarily a culturally-driven phenomenon(现象),though more research would need to be done to check that.Overall, we should think twice before reaching for our phones when we're waiting or bored. Taking time to think freely can bring us more pleasure and advantages.29.What can we learn from the experiments mentioned in the passage A. Participants could sleep when they stayed in the lab.B. Participants felt more interested than they had expected.C. Participants could enter the dark room with their watches.D. Participants predicted they would enjoy waiting and thinking.30.Why does the researcher Kou Murayama compare German and Japanese students A. To prove students from different countries have different opinions.B. To find out which group is better at predicting feelings.C. To show the result may not be affected by culture.D. To check if German students like waiting and thinking.31.What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage A. To present the results of new research.B. To introduce a culturally-driven phenomenon.C. To discuss the true meaning of waiting and thinking.D. To advise us to think freely when we have nothing to do.32.Which of the following would be the most suitable title for this passage A. Mind-wandering: A Waste of Time B. The Unnoticed Joys of Free Thinking.C. An Experiment on University Students. D. Cultural Influences on Our Thoughts.D①Gu Jinling, a 12-year-old girl from Beijing, has become a social media influencer with over 2.5million followers, catching fans with her special Chinese-style costume dances. Viewers are crazy about her beautiful costumes and the rich classical culture in her performances. They are also amazed by her excellent dance skills at such a young age. However, as online users jokingly say, Gu is already an “old artist”. She began learning dance at the age of 3 and has been practicing for nearly 10 years.②Gu trained in ballet at first but began learning Chinese classical dance at the age of 6, attracted by its costumes, which she found "even prettier" than those of ballet. However, learning classical dance well needs a deep understanding of traditional Chinese culture.③Gu's home is filled with books on Chinese wall paintings, which she studies the expressions and actions of the shown characters. When visiting different cities, she often visits museums, closely watching the main points in ancient sculptures.④For Gu, paying attention to details is important in catching the key points of ancient Chinese style. For example, in the classic Dunhuang dance pose “Rebound Pipa”(反抱琵琶),the eyes must look downward before looking tar away, creating a sense of paying no attention to the world. The “Floating Clouds" dance movement, which covers the use of long silk ribbons, requires unusual control to achieve the good effect.⑤Another challenging character of Dunhuang dance is the changes of foot positions, including flexed (弯曲)feet,pointed feet,toes (脚趾)flexed on a pointed foot, and toes flexed on a flexed foot. "I don't feel much pain doing these movements because years of practice have made them natural," Gu said.⑥However, a child's body is naturally more flexible, and movements that once came easily now require greater effort and practice. Since last year, Gu has spent more time mastering basic dance skills and so on.33.What's Paragraph 1 mainly about A. What dance skills Gu uses.B. How many followers Gu has had.C. What makes Gu a social media influencer.D. How long Gu has practiced Chinese classical dance.34.The writer mentions Gu's classic Dunhuang danceA.to describe the dance is very beautiful. B. to explain Gu puts a lot of effort into it.C. to prove this dance is very difficult. D.to show Gu pays attention to details.35.What does the underlined word "them" refer to in the second last paragraph A. Feet B. Toes C. Foot positions D. Feet and toes36.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage A.①/②③④/⑤⑥ B.①/②③/④⑤/⑥C.①②/③④/⑤⑥ D.①②③④⑤/⑥四、还原信息(共4小题;每小题1.5分,满分6分)阅读下面短文,从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。How Not to Be Awkward(尴尬的)Not all of us are outgoing and ready to take the world by storm. Many among us are shy and may even feel kept apart from others. This usually happens when a person is still in his or her teen years and going through the socialization process. 37. Let's try to find answers to the question.Stay in shape and dress up wellSometimes, awkwardness could be because of being overweight. When you are large in size, you may worry about how people look at you. So, in order to avoid this, get into the habit of exercising every day. 38 If you look as if you are dressed up to be at a formal dance party when everybody else is just ready to camp in a park, there is no doubt that you would feel awkward about yourself.Show a happy faceAnother useful tip on how not to feel awkward is to always keep a smile on your face. 39 On the other hand, a smiling, happy and positive person is welcome everywhere. So, smile when you meet friends or even strangers, say a cheerful “Hi” and naturally some of your awkwardness will disappear completely!Take part in Team Activities.This one really helps. Awkwardness generally develops when a person keeps away from others. So, in order to change this situation, join groups. For example, if you are a reading lover, join a book club. Joining people in book reading sessions as well as debates will help remove your awkwardness. Choose any activity of your choice, such as playing team sports or joining a dance class, and soon you will find your comfort level around people increasing day by day! 40Being a book-worm or an Internet addict will not get you anywhere. For self-improvement, take up a hobby that adds meaning to your life. Learn singing or try adventure sports. Something as simple as listening to music will do wonders too.A. Develop your personality.B. Doing exercise helps cheer you up.C. Secondly, have clean and proper clothes on.D. If you look sad, nobody will actually like being with you.E. So, what can a person do to deal with the problem of being awkward F.

It is interesting to explore what ancient Chinese people used as pillows. Let's discover more.According to historical records, the development of pillows in China can be understood through different materials such as stone, wood, bamboo, copper, cotton, and silk. Stone and wooden pillows appeared earliest in history.The earliest pillow discovered in China is a wooden one from a Chu state tomb, in the Warring States Period, in Jiangling City of Hubei Province. It has simple decorations.Silk pillows appeared in the Western Han Dynasty. From the Warring States Period on, hard and soft pillows became the two main types.Porcelain(瓷)pillows were the most widely used in ancient China. They were first produced in the Sui Dynasty,became popular in the Tang Dynasty, and experienced a flourishing(盛行的)period in the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty reached a high level of porcelain pillow production. There is a famous porcelain pillow made in the Ding kiln(定窑)during the Northern Song Dynasty. The pillow is shaped like a baby lying on the bed. It is completely covered with white glaze, showing a slightly yellow colorand feels smooth. As one of the representative works of that period, the pillow is housed in the Palace Museum in Beijing now.During the Ming and Qing dynasties, porcelain pillows became less and less popular, giving way to the preference for softer pillows. Different kinds of materials such as cloth, cotton and leather were used. Some cloth pillows were decorated with embroidered(刺绣的)patterns on the surface.Today, Chinese pillows continue to be made with great care, combining traditional designs with modern materials, to make sure a comfortable sleeping experience.41.What were the earliest pillows made of according to historical records 42.When were Porcelain pillows produced most 43.During the Ming and Qing dynasties, which type of pillows were more popular 44.What's the best title for the passage 六、综合填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。According to some old Chinese stories, there once was an ancient emperor named Shennong, who is also known as the “Divine Farmer.".

Many sick people could only wait for 46 _(die).47 (save) his people, Shennong decided to take a bold step-he would personally find and test different plants. He believed that nature provided remedies for diseases, and it was his duty to uncover them. Along with his loyal followers, he set out on a long and dangerous journey through mountains and forests in search of medicinal plants.Each time the team found a new plant, Shennong would taste it 48 (he). Some plants made him feel sleepy,some caused him to have a stomachache, and some made him tremble(颤抖)all over.49 Shennong searched and tested over a long time, he and his men discovered lots of medicinal plants.As they continued their search, the team found a plant 50 small yellow flowers. Shennong picked off one piece from the plant in order that he could taste it. He said, “It looks like a medicinal plant. I have to test it, 51 some people may use it ina wrong way.”Suddenly, Shennong's face turned pale and he fell to the ground 52 (heavy). The plant he had just eaten was highly poisonous. His followers quickly tried to save him, but it was too late. Even after he 53 (give) the leaves from other medicinal plants, he still lost his life. People covered him with 54 (thousand)of flowers.
