三、完形填空(共 10小题，每小题 1分，满分 10分)
The sun was shining on the sparkling grass. It was morning, and the grass was still wet from the dew. We were ex
cited to see the sunshine after days of rain! Sydney and I were tired of being stuck 31 .
“Mom, can we go out and play ” I shouted.
“You and Sydney need to clean your rooms 32 . I'm excited to get some fresh air in the house. It's time for
a good spring cleaning!” Mom answered.
Sydney and I looked at each other and groaned. We wanted to get outside instead of cleaning the room. But we kn
ew we could only go play 33 we finished cleaning. We decided to make it a race to see who could clean their room
the fastest. But we had to clean up the right way, or Mom would make us 34 it.
“3.. 2... 1... GO!” we shouted. I put my clothes into the hamper(脏衣篓). Then I made my bed and pulled the blan
ket over it, so it looked perfect, like a 35 picture. All of my books went back on the bookshelf, and my toys and
games went back in the closet.
“DONE!” I heard Sydney shout from her room down the hall.
“Aw, man, I was just about to shout it out. Good job, Sydney,” I said. Sydney jumped up and down.“I never finis
h cleaning before you, Alaen!” she 36 . She looked so excited that I couldn't even be 37 at my little sister.
We ran to the kitchen. Mom was there, getting ready to make her 38 apple pie. Everyone in the family kne
w it and was waiting for it.“Can we play now ” I asked.“Yes,” she said.“If you play nicely outside, you can have some
pie later.”
We played in the yard for hours. Then, a wonderful 39 filled the air.“The pie!” Sydney said. We ran inside to s
ee if it was ready.
But when we looked at the pie cooling by the window, we were shocked. It was broken into pieces!“We must40

四、阅读理解(共 10小题，每小题 1分，满分 10分)
A
Hundreds of years ago, ideas like flying to another city through the air sounded like dreams. Yet now scientifi
c study has made them real. Could other fairy tales come true someday
Sleeping Beauty
Could anyone sleep for 100 years Probably not. The daily cycle of sleep and waking is set in your body.But ani
mals like bears can hibernate(冬眠) through the winter until it warms.
If scientists can work out how animals hibernate, maybe one day people could hibernate too. It would be great for
spacemen to sleep through the long space journey. But hibernating animals still grow older, so a future Sleeping
Beauty might wake up as a Sleeping Grandma.
Talk to Animals
Talking to animals isn't quite easy. But scientists are trying. Tiny cameras and microphones have collected thousa
nds of hours of animal conversations. Powerful computer programs study animal sounds and match them with po
ssible meanings. Soon they may let us talk back.
But there are still challenges. Many animals communicate with smells, body language, and sounds that humans c
an't hear. And animals don't think like people. So, when we think they' re giving directions to the castle,they' re m
ore likely to be saying“This is my tree!”
Let Down Your Hair·
Rapunzel lowers her long hair to less visitors in. But could hair really hold up a prince
Surprisingly, yes!A scientific study has found out that a single hair can hold 3 ounces, the weight of a small toma
to. And a common head has about 100,000 hairs. All those together could hold up a couple of elephants. A princ
e No problem.
However, Rapunzel would also need a shorter tower. Human hair only grows a few feet long. The longest hair ev
er recorded is about 18 feet long—— pretty short for a tower.
41. If spacemen could hibernate, they would .
A. stop growing completely B. sleep through space travel
C. need more food and water D.communicate with animals
42. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. Animals think like people in giving directions.
B. Scientists can talk back to animals successfully.
C. A common person's hair could hold up a giant panda.
D. Rapunzel in the fairy tale has the longest hair in history.
43. What is the main purpose of this passage
A. To discuss new inventions for space travel.
B. To tell us how scientists influence fairy tales.
C. To compare different animals' talking habits.
D. To show scientific possibilities behind fairy tales
B
Imagine a narrow waterway that can shake the global economy. This is the Strait o
f Hormuz(霍尔木兹海峡)! It lies between Iran and Oman. At its narrowest point, it is
only 33 kilometers wide. But it is the only door from the Persian Gulf to the Indian Oce
an. For thousands of years, traders and travelers have sailed through it, connecting diffe
rent cultures and trade across continents(大陆).
This small strait is the world's most vital energy lifeline. More than 20% of all oil shipped by sea passes throug
h it, along with huge amounts of liquefied(液化) natural gas. Most of these resources go to countries like China, Ind
ia and Japan, powering their cities, factories, and homes. If this“throat” were blocked, energy prices would skyrock
et(飞涨), and the whole world would feel the shortage.
第 4页共 8页
Today, the Strait of Hormuz is still a key guard of global energy security. Its special position makes it a natural
“chokepoint”(咽喉要道)—— no other waterway can take its place. As long as the world needs oil and gas, this narr
ow waterway will remain the most important“energy throat” on Earth.
44. Where is the Strait of Hormuz
A. Between Iran and India. B. Between Iran and Oman.
C. Between China and Japan. D. Between the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea.
45. What would happen if the Strait of Hormuz were blocked
A. Energy prices would go down. B. More oil would be shipped by sea.
C. Energy prices would rise very fast. D. Countries would stop using oil.
46. The word“vital” in Paragraph 2 probably means .
A. dangerous B. small C. wide D. important
47. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. The Strait of Hormuz is the only waterway connecting the Persian Gulf to the Indian Ocean.
B. Less than 20% of the world's sea-shipped oil goes through the strait.
C. The strait is mainly used by tourists and travelers today.
D. There are many other waterways that can replace the Strait of Hormuz.

You can't deeply experience Chengdu if you don't prepare to do anything. Sit on a bamboo chair, stretch(伸展)yo
ur feet out and let the afternoon slow away. Listen to hot water being poured into teacups. Taste melon seeds(瓜子)or
boiled peanuts. And teahouses are the right places for you and should always be on your must-go list.
Sichuan is one of China's major tea-producing regions. Chengdu was famous for its teahouses as early as the Tan
g Dynasty. For centuries, teahouses were places for fun and tea. There, customers can enjoy storytelling, music and e
specially Sichuan Opera. That is not a popular art form these days, but Yuehai Teahouse beside Jinjiang Theatre still
arranges operas every Saturday afternoon.
You will find most of Chengdu's traditional teahouses in parks. Heming Teahouse in Renmin Park attracts luncht
ime office workers and afternoon visitors. When noise gets too much because of more visitors, move on to Shaochen
g Teahouse in the same park. Visitors there are older and quieter. They bring songbirds, hanging their cages in trees,
and have fun. However, new-style teahouses have opened to attract the younger generation. They want to taste traditi
onal tea in a more modern style. The most famous one of them is Mi Xun Teahouse in Taikoo Li, which is right in the
city's most fashionable shopping area.
As in all teahouses, the tea comes in separate packets which can be kept warm. Maofeng green tea from Mount
Emei, southwest of Chengdu, is the traditional favourite. Pour the leaves into your cup. Don't let the water level in yo
ur cup get too low, since any bad taste from the leaves is left on the bottom. You can enjoy your tea all afternoon and
order nothing else.
In Chengdu teahouses, people relax themselves by staying away from busy work and life. The capital of Sichua
n is developing fast too, out it has managed to keep its slower style that has been lost in many other Chinese cities.
48. The first paragraph leads into the topic by .
A. telling a story B. creating a scene C. giving a reason D. asking a question
49. What's the main idea of Paragraph 3
A. The main types of teahouses. B. The address of teahouses.
C. Different visitors to teahouses. D. Some activities in teahouses.

Years ago, I interviewed a successful advertising man. He told me that he dreamed of being a writer in fact. In
ever believed he could succeed. However, about ten years later, holding up his new book. He has published more th
an 100 bestsellers.
His ability to see himself as a writer shows a concept(理念) known as“possible selves”. It describes how peopl
e's future life will be: what they may become, or want to become, or even fear to become.
A possible self can bring you far more than daydreams. Your dream can come true if you build a bridge from
your“now” self to your possible self. But how do we build that bridge Here are a few steps you can try.
First of all, just take action. If your dream is to succeed in getting a certain job, attend a course and start by tak
ing up that type of work as a hobby or a side job. You should tell yourself that these are the steps you can take to ac
hieve that goal.
Secondly, when you have a goal, share it. A study found that the adults who sent weekly progress to a friend c
ompleted their goals more easily than those who didn't share their goals. If more friends know about your goal, it is
more possible for you to achieve it. That finding was true for all goals.
Finally, get advice from the people who you haven't spoken to in years. A lot of research has found that when y
ou' re asking for valuable advice, people in your wider network are more likely to offer it than those closest to you.S
o, reach out to your weak connections for it when needed.

Chinese people started to build gardens more than 2,000 years ago. Chinese gardens are a special f 81of t
raditional Chinese culture and art.
At the entrance to a Chinese garden, there is u 8 2 a huge stone or wall to screen your view. This is
to give you a pressed-in feeling in order to later produce unexpected joy w 83 you turn around the hall to
see the amazing rock formations(假山) and a big lake. The best e 84 is the Summer Palace.
Rock formations play an important role in the d 85 of a Chinese-style garden. Without them, a garden coul
d not be considered a Chinese-style garden. They are as i 86 to a Chinese-style garden as sculptures are t
o a European-style-garden. Ge Garden in Yangzhou is famous for its Four Seasons Rockeries.

Gardens in the south are mostly small in size. Chinese garden designers have used the m) 87 of“borrowin
g scenery with a mirror” to create a sense of space. A mirror is hung opposite a window to take in the o88 scenery.
A fine example of this is Pian Shi Shan Fang, a rockery in He Garden, Yangzhou. A big mirror is built into the wall of
its west corridor(走廊). The whole garden will be s 89 in the mirror wherever the visitors are. A pool or a
lake in a garden also serves this purpose. A pool runs from south to north t 90 the garden of Pian Shi Shan Fang.
East of the rockery, a man-made moon is reflected(倒映) in the pool.
Whatever methods used, every effort is made to achieve the purpose of giving visitors a sense of space in the gard
