On a sunny afternoon, old Kevin was lying on the sofa in the yard while his son Danny came back from work.
When Danny sat down, a bird came and landed on the apple tree in the yard.
Kevin asked, “Did you see that What is that ”
Danny replied, “Nothing. It’s a bird.”
Five minutes later, Kevin asked again, “Danny, what is that ”
Danny looked up and said, “Dad, I told you. It’s a bird. And I’m sure of it.”
Another five minutes passed, Kevin asked a third time, “Danny, what’s that ”
This time Danny became angry and shouted, “How many times do I have to tell you It’s a BIRD! Don’t you
understand Why do you ask me over and over again ”
Kevin didn’t say anything. He stood up and took out a diary from the table, turned to a page in front of Danny’s
eyes. Danny was still angry. However, he began to read it out of respect.
“It’s a nice day. My three-year-old boy Danny was sitting with me in the yard. We saw a bird landing on the
apple tree. Danny asked me what it was. I smiled and told him it was a bird and embraced (拥抱) him. A few minutes
later, Danny asked me a second time and I did the same. Just like that, little Danny asked me the same question for 25
times. And I replied to him with the same answer and embraced him every single time.”
Danny’s heart was touched by something warm and his face turned red with shame. He turned around and gave
Kevin a deep embrace. “I’m sorry, Dad. I shouldn’t say those words.”
Your parents gave you much in their life, but you may not realize that until they are gone. So treat them with
more love.

Why is gold so precious Gold is wanted because it's rare (稀少)and has many meanings.
Athletes are proud of winning gold medals. Families give babies gold bracelets, wishing them good health.
People buy and store gold to save for a rainy day. Recently, the price of gold has kept rising, making it even more
wanted. In fact, gold holds a place in people’s hearts, not only as a symbol of wealth.
The rarer something is, the more valuable it is. Gold is a golden example. Gold has been around since Earth was
born. Most of it is in Earth’s core. It’s hard to dig out the gold there. Less than 1 percent of gold is from the crust of
Earth. We have dug out a lot of this gold. In about 30 years, we will have no gold left to dig out.
Gold isn’t just about being rich. It is also about being powerful. A long time ago in China, the most powerful
people were emperors and their families. They were big fans of gold. They sat on golden chairs, wore crowns with gold,
and ate and drank from gold cups and bowls.
As gold was super rare, using things made of gold showed their high status. Moreover, in the past, many people
believed gold was good for one's health. They thought eating from gold bowls and wearing gold things could make
people live longer.
There are about 60 trillion tons of gold in the world. We’ve mined 170,000 tons of it. Many countries have rich
gold mine reserves, such as Australia, Russia and South Africa. If we put all the gold we found together, it could be
made into a cube like this one on the right.
46.How does the writer begin in the passage
A.By asking a question B.By showing a saying
C.By giving an example D.By telling a story
47.What does the underlined phrases “save for a rainy day ”in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.make preparations for the future B.save a lot of money
C.buy a raincoat D.there is good weather
48.Where is most of the gold on Earth
A.It’s from the crust of the Earth B.It’s in the core of the Earth
C.It’s on the surface of the Earth D.It’s in the center of the Earth

49.What can we infer from the passage
A.Eating gold bowls and wearing gold things could make people live longer.
B.Gold is just a symbol of wealth.
C.More than 1 percent of gold is from the crust of Earth.
D.People like to celebrate the baby’s first month with a gold gift.
50.The passage is written to__________.
A.encourage public to dig out the gold B.sell more gold jewelry
C.inspire public interest in the gold D.teach kids how to find gold
第三节、短文填空(共 5 小题,每小题 1.5 分,满分 7.5 分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。
We’ve heard about several “poor students” in the past year. Cui Qingtao, a student from Yunnan, working
with his parents on a building site when he got an admission letter(录取通知书) from Peking University. 51
She is a student form Hebei. She was doing her part-time job in a different city when her family got her admission
letter from Peking University.
52 For example, they are all strong and optimistic (乐观的). Li Enhui said in an interview, “As long as
we are alive, there are no problems that cannot be solved, and many people don’t have my experiences. 53 ”
Such an idea makes many adults feel embarrassed. He refused to accept donation money and decided to make money
by himself. This is also the common thing that “poor students” have.
Whatever kind of values you hold, such personalities( 品 格 ) are necessary for growth. 54 Not
everything goes well all the time. Only being strong and optimistic, can one go through difficulties. In fact, living in
poor families doesn’t promise such good personalities, and living in happiness doesn’t promise optimistic attitudes(
态度). We like such “poor students” because they are strong and optimistic.
For them, few can choose their lifestyles. 55 That’s why they are highly praised. Every one of us should
learn from them.
A.Life is full of ups and downs.
B.A girl named Wang Xinyi is another example.
C.“Poor students” are usually hard-working and caring.
D.And these experiences make me grow and become better.
E.Born in poor families, these students have a lot in common.
F.However, all of them can choose their attitudes towards life.

第三节 信息摘录(5 分)
阅读下面的文章,结合文中信息完成思维导图。(每空不超过两个词)
Shadow puppets (皮影戏) is a famous Chinese art of storytelling. It is more than 2,000 years old. Although there
was lots of earlier information of shadow play in China, it wasn’t clearly written in history books until the Northern
Song dynasty. During the Tang dynasty, shadow play became an art in China and was popular with people and many
people loved it very much during the Song dynasty. People performed it when they had holidays and festivals. In the
Yuan dynasty, it was performed in some other countries.
During the play, the performers stand behind a screen with a light behind them. They control the puppets with
thin sticks in their hands and they put the puppets very close to the screen so people can see it clearly. They tell the
story by singing. Shadow puppets are made of leather (皮革). Each puppet is painted in bright colors and put on a stick.
Different colors are used to show good and bad persons in the drama. Some puppets have movable (移动) arms and
legs.
In fact, being a shadow play artist is not easy. The performer needs to spend a long time watching and studying
how people and animals move. Before giving the performance, he needs to practice very hard. In this way, he can do
well in the play to make people think the puppets real. What’s more, working with others together is also important
during the play, because a puppet may need four or five sticks and two or three performers to control it together.
Now, with TV and films, shadow play is not as popular as it once was, but it is a symbol of Chinese culture for
sure and we Chinese should develop it.

76. Should We Help Strangers
Recently our class had a discussion about whether we should help strangers. Different students have different
opinions.
Some think we should try to help strangers. Helping others is a virtue, and helping others is helping ourselves.
We may come across some trouble and need others’ help some day. If everyone isn’t willing to help us just because we
are strangers to them, it’s hard to imagine what our world will be like. However, some are afraid that helping others can
sometimes bring us trouble. Sometimes we are just misunderstood and even have to pay the cost of kindness.
In my opinion, we should try our best to help others when they are in need of help, but we should also protect
ourselves from getting into trouble. If everyone tries a little kindness, our world will be full of love. 听力原文:
