If your hometown were to be pulled down one day, would you miss it And what would you do to protect it
Huang Yongfu gave us his perfect answer.
Huang and his wife lived in a small village. The village was far from the town, and most houses there were
built decades ago, with grey walls and few decorations. Local people never paid much attention to those old walls.
After he retired (退休) in the 1970s, Huang had plenty of free time. He started painting lovely animals, beautiful
flowers and even interesting village stories on the walls of his house just for fun. The once lifeless walls soon
became the most eye-catching spot in the whole village. Later, his neighbors asked him to paint their houses too.
His paintbrush brought a second “life” to those dull old houses.
In 1998, the village was going to be pulled down, because most villagers had moved away. To save his
hometown, Huang decided to paint every street in the village. The old man covered every street, wall and door in
the whole village with bright, lovely colors.
In 2010, some university students happened to pass by the village. They were amazed by Huang’s cute and
lively artwork. These students then started the “Save Rainbow Village” project. It was a big success, and the
village soon became an art park. Huang himself became famous as “Grandpa Rainbow”.
Now, Rainbow Village has become a well-known tourist attraction. It welcomes over one million visitors
every year. Grandpa Rainbow finally made his dream come true — he saved his beloved village. Although
Grandpa Rainbow passed away on January 23, 2024, people will remember him and his warm story forever.

In a recent discovery, archaeologists (考古学家) found the ruins (废墟) of an important ancient city! These
ruins, found in Baliqiao, Henan, are about 3,700 years old. They are from the Xia Dynasty, which is the earliest
known dynasty in China. This discovery helps fill in some pieces of history and helps us see the bigger picture of
the Xia Dynasty.
The Baliqiao ruins are large, covering about 1.35 million square metres. So far, archaeologists have dug up
around 1,800 square metres since they started their work in 2022. They found many interesting things, like walls,
roads, and even pottery (陶器), which show that people there were skilled and had a rich culture.
What makes the Baliqiao ruins even more exciting is its connection to another place called the Erlitou ruins,
which people discovered in 1959 and are known for helping us understand the early days of China. Researchers
believe that the culture of the Xia Dynasty spread far and wide, including Baliqiao. Liang Fawei, an archaeologist,
第 12 页 共 20 页
explained that the objects found at both places are very alike, showing the influence (影响) of the Xia Dynasty on
the Baliqiao area.
Nowadays, as researchers continue to dig at the Baliqiao ruins, we can look forward to more treasures from the
past. They may help us understand how ancient people lived, what they believed in, and how the Xia Dynasty
shaped early China. With each new find, they’re piecing together the story of ancient China.
1. Which of the following words can we use to describe the Baliqiao ruins
①Old. ②Cool. ③Simple. ④Important.
A.①② B.①④ C.②③ D.③④
2. How does the writer show that the Baliqiao ruins are large
A. By telling stories. B. By using numbers.
C. By giving examples. D. By showing pictures.
3. What does the underlined word “which” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. The Baliqiao ruins. B. The Erlitou ruins.

【答案】central；preferred；because；has changed；for；to enjoy；attractions；visiting；a；having
【解析】

要用形容词形式，center“中心”的形容词为 central，意为“中心的、中央的”。故填 central。
2. 考查动词。句意：当我制定旅行计划时，我更喜欢参观北京大学和清华大学等著名大学，因为它们充满
了教育意义和巨大的创造力。句中“When I made the travel plan（当我制定旅行计划时）”表明动作发生在
过去，应用一般过去时，prefer“更喜欢”的过去式为 preferred。故填 preferred。
3. 考查连词。句意：当我制定旅行计划时，我更喜欢参观北京大学和清华大学等著名大学，因为它们充满

great creativity（它们充满了教育意义和巨大的创造力）”可知，前后句表因果。故填 because。
第 16 页 共 20 页
4. 考查现在完成时。句意：在过去几年里，北京变化很大。根据“over the past few years（在过去几年里）”
可知，该句是现在完成时，have/has+动词过去分词，主语 Beijing“北京”为第三人称单数，因此助动词用
has；change“变化”的过去分词是 changed。故填 has changed。
5. 考查介词。句意：由于北京是一个历史悠久的城市，我迫不及待地想享受那里的旧时光。be well known
for为固定短语，意为“因……而闻名”。故填 for。
6. 考查不定式。句意：由于北京是一个历史悠久的城市，我迫不及待地想享受那里的旧时光。enjoy“欣
赏”，动词，can’t wait to do sth.为固定短语，意为“迫不及待做某事”，所以应填不定式形式。故填 to enjoy。
7. 考查名词。句意：故宫博物院是最受欢迎的景点之一。attraction“景点”，名词，one of the most popular
+名词复数，意为“最受欢迎的……之一”。故填 attractions。
8. 考查动名词。句意：对所有游客来说，它都非常值得一游。visit“游览”，动词，be well worth doing为
固定短语，意为“某事值得做”，所以应填动名词形式。故填 visiting。
9. 考查冠词。句意：当我在城市里漫步时，我感觉自己像个探险家。explorer“探险家”，名词，felt like a
explorer“像个探险家”，所以不定冠词。故填 a。
10. 考查动名词。句意：我以前几乎无法想象能有这么棒的一次旅行。have“有”，动词，imagine doing
“想象做某事”，所以应填动名词形式。故填 having。

Great changes have taken place in Suqian. In the past, the roads were narrow and dirty, but now they are
wide and clean. Houses used to be small and old, while now they are tidy and bright. People traveled on foot or by
bike before, but now they can take cars, buses or e-bikes. These changes are because of the government’s support
and people’s hard work.
I recommend the Suqian Wetland Park. It’s beautiful with many trees and lakes, and it’s a great place to relax
and learn about nature.

If your hometown were to be pulled down one day, would you miss it And what would you do to protect it
Huang Yongfu gave us his perfect answer.
Huang and his wife lived in a small village. The village was far from the town, and most houses there were
built decades ago, with grey walls and few decorations. Local people never paid much attention to those old walls.
After he retired (退休) in the 1970s, Huang had plenty of free time. He started painting lovely animals, beautiful
flowers and even interesting village stories on the walls of his house just for fun. The once lifeless walls soon
became the most eye-catching spot in the whole village. Later, his neighbors asked him to paint their houses too.
His paintbrush brought a second “life” to those dull old houses.
In 1998, the village was going to be pulled down, because most villagers had moved away. To save his
hometown, Huang decided to paint every street in the village. The old man covered every street, wall and door in
the whole village with bright, lovely colors.
In 2010, some university students happened to pass by the village. They were amazed by Huang’s cute and
lively artwork. These students then started the “Save Rainbow Village” project. It was a big success, and the
第 7 页 共 12 页
village soon became an art park. Huang himself became famous as “Grandpa Rainbow”.
Now, Rainbow Village has become a well-known tourist attraction. It welcomes over one million visitors
every year. Grandpa Rainbow finally made his dream come true — he saved his beloved village. Although
Grandpa Rainbow passed away on January 23, 2024, people will remember him and his warm story forever.

In a recent discovery, archaeologists (考古学家) found the ruins (废墟) of an important ancient city! These
ruins, found in Baliqiao, Henan, are about 3,700 years old. They are from the Xia Dynasty, which is the earliest
known dynasty in China. This discovery helps fill in some pieces of history and helps us see the bigger picture of
the Xia Dynasty.
The Baliqiao ruins are large, covering about 1.35 million square metres. So far, archaeologists have dug up
around 1,800 square metres since they started their work in 2022. They found many interesting things, like walls,
roads, and even pottery (陶器), which show that people there were skilled and had a rich culture.
What makes the Baliqiao ruins even more exciting is its connection to another place called the Erlitou ruins,
which people discovered in 1959 and are known for helping us understand the early days of China. Researchers
第 8 页 共 12 页
believe that the culture of the Xia Dynasty spread far and wide, including Baliqiao. Liang Fawei, an archaeologist,
explained that the objects found at both places are very alike, showing the influence (影响) of the Xia Dynasty on
the Baliqiao area.
Nowadays, as researchers continue to dig at the Baliqiao ruins, we can look forward to more treasures from the
past. They may help us understand how ancient people lived, what they believed in, and how the Xia Dynasty
shaped early China. With each new find, they’re piecing together the story of ancient China.
1. Which of the following words can we use to describe the Baliqiao ruins
①Old. ②Cool. ③Simple. ④Important.

2. How does the writer show that the Baliqiao ruins are large
A. By telling stories. B. By using numbers.
C. By giving examples. D. By showing pictures.
3. What does the underlined word “which” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. The Baliqiao ruins. B. The Erlitou ruins.
C. The culture of the Baliqiao ruins. D. The connection to the Erlitou ruins.
4. Why did the writer write the passage
A. To show an important discovery. B. To make an amazing connection.
C. To introduce an interesting city in China. D. To remember an ancient period in history.
