The cafe, opened a few days ago, is equipped with USB ports, computer stands and free Wi-Fi. Customers pay by time used. While some found it interesting, others said that it was too much pressure. “If it were me, I would no longer be able to leave the store and would end up living there,” one person commented. _____________________________ Inside a coffee shop in downtown Guangzhou, there is not only a buying craziness of coffee and desserts but also the practice of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). The shop, owned by Tsai Hsiching of Taiwan and his wife, has become a hot leisure (悠闲) and TCM treatment spot since it opened. “Young people like to try TCM treatment when they discover such services are available and many have become regular TCM customers here,” Tsai said. The shop offers customers mainly with acupuncture (针灸) and moxibustion (艾灸). Asphalt Road Smells like Strawberry Have you ever smelled hot asphalt (沥青) when road sections are being laid or fixed, but it’s not the most appealing odor in the world.

Why do we tell stories? Well, here is a story for you. Imagine the world hundreds of thousands of years ago. In a cave, a group of Neanderthals (穴居人) just finished eating a big meal together and were sitting around fire One of them had an idea. He wanted to get some berries to share with everyone. His friends decided to join him. They went down to the place where the best berries grew. Well, finally, the only one of them to return was the friend, who was covered with blood and had a sad story to share. He told the others that a tiger attacked them and killed his friend. The others were shocked, of course, but they were also warned. Are you getting the idea? Stories aren’t just for entertainment. Good stories attract us emotionally, and they do that by giving us something to think about. They contain messages which might be useful for us in the future. We admire people whose magical storytelling skills catch our attention and our imagination. Everybody has always respected storytellers, who have been important members of many societies. In the past, storytellers often travelled a lot. When they went to places far away, their stories travelled with them. When they returned home, they had new stories to share. People were eager to listen, which was fun but also gave them a chance to learn about those faraway places. In cultures all over the world, important stories have been passed down for the wisdom and knowledge they contain. They’re often about dangerous events such as fires, storms, thunder, lightning and floods. Every country and culture has its own stories. Our stories have become part of our tradition. Our stories reflect who we are. 56. The writer introduces the topic by ____________. A. imagining a picture B. telling a story C. using a fact D. asking questions 57. According to the fourth paragraph, storytellers would ____________. A. make up stories B. share what they heard in the journey C. change people’s thought D. keep travelling all their life 58.

A. want to pass stories down B. may be made to think deeply C. are tired of their boring life D. are interested in all fun things 59. We can infer from the passage that ____________. A. telling stories is passing on culture as well B. most stories are about dangers and death C. the writer is telling a true story in the beginning D. the best way to tell stories is through spoken words 60. The passage is probably written to ____________. A. remind us to remember more stories B. tell us the importance of storytelling C. introduce the development of stories D. show us storytellers’ hard work C After learning about the life of the master poet who lived about 1, 300 years ago in the historical documentary Li Bai on CCTV-9, many young Chinese viewers have taken to talking about pursuing (追求) their dreams on social media. In BBC’s Du Fu: China’s Greatest Poet, a historian said, “Du’s poems are as important in Chinese literary history as Shakespeare is to people in Britain.” This remark can also be used for Li Bai’s. poems. Living in the Tang Dynasty during the “Golden Age of Chinese Poetry”, Li used his talent to push poetry to a new height. “If Du Fu is the greatest poet in China, then Li Bai is the most talented poet in the history of Chinese poetry,” an expert in ancient Chinese literature told the Global Times. Much of Li’s life is reflected in his poems: his romance, heroism, and freedom while traveling around the mountains and rivers of China, and his unvalued and tough career path. He saw the Tang Dynasty’s amazing prosperity (繁荣), and dreamed about being an excellent officer to serve the court, but experienced challenge after challenge until his death. Li Bai has won great fame among Chinese netizens (网民). ★ A young netizen asked a question, “What would we do if our dreams couldn’t be reached, just like Li’s ?” Some netizens wrote that unlike Li, they might change to another dream in order not to give themselves too much pressure or unhappiness, while other netizens said they would choose to hold on straight to the end. “Many people who like Li Bai’s poems actually like the spirit he expressed —the spirit of never giving up and dreaming about contributing (做贡献) to society, just like many young people who have the same dream in this era,” an expert in ancient Chinese literature said. 61. The writer mentioned Shakespeare in paragraph 2 in order to ____________. A. praise Shakespeare’s popularity B. describe Li Bai’s life C. show the importance of Li Bai’s poems D. explain Shakespeare’s poems 62. The underlined word “tough” in paragraph 4 means ____________. A. strong B. difficult C. smooth D. unexpected 63. Which of the following can be put in ★ A. He has challenged their life B. They try to realize their dreams C. His life has interested them D. They are interested in poetry 64. We know from the last paragraph that people like Li Bai’s poems because ____________. A. he had a specific dream in his mind B. he made great contribution to the society C. he did well in serving the court D. his spirit expressed in the poems inspired them 65. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Go on with Your Dream B. Try to Be a Happy Traveler C. Learn More Li Bai’s Poems D. Contribute to Society 第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题共40分) 五、词与短语填空 (共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分) 阅读下面短文，用方框中所给的单词或短语填空，使短文在结构、句意和逻辑上正确。 (提示：方框中有两个单词或短语是多余的) appreciate /invention /do well in / believe in /picture / provide /responsible Nature holds an outstanding power.

In the third week, we’re traveling to some ancient towns in Lijiang and Dali. The ancient towns have been the cultural, and educational center. They are full of shops with a collection of art works made of medal, paper, silk and so on. Then, in the fourth week, we’re off to Wuhan. We’ll go on travelling in this beautiful city. I hope we can have a pleasant trip! 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
