Every week, I ate at  　31　⁠ and bought lots of clothes, which cost me lots of money. I wish I had been told more about saving  　32　⁠ then. Now, I would like to share three suggestions to help you  　33　⁠ the mistakes I made.  First, start a money-saving  　34　⁠ early. By the time you are a school child, you should have got the habit of brushing your teeth twice a day for years. You don’t often  　35　⁠ this habit. When it comes to money, the power of habit is very important. The  　36　⁠ you get, the harder it can seem to start saving even one tenth of your income(收入). But if you started saving money now as a child, saving one tenth or even more of your income wouldn’t seem  　37　⁠ to you because it’s just a habit.  My second suggestion is to  　38　⁠ your spending. It’s a good idea to open two bank accounts(账户) for your money: one for money to be  　39　⁠ and one for money to be saved. With these accounts, it will be easier to record your spending.  My last suggestion is to use your student ID  　40　⁠. You can get many discounts(折扣) using your ID. Whenever you want to buy something, ask if there is a student discount.  (　C　)31. A. stations B. theatres C. restaurants D. yards (　D　)32. A. paper B. energy C. time D. money (　B　)33. A. increase B. avoid C. correct D. repeat (　B　)34. A. skill B. habit C. tradition D. plan (　C　)35. A. talk about B. keep on C. think about D. pass on (　B　)36. A. braver B. older C. fatter D. wealthier (　D　)37. A. lucky B. funny C. dangerous D. hard (　C　)38. A. cancel B. doubt C. record D. explain (　A　)39. A. spent B. raised C. changed D. hidden (　B　)40. A. proudly B. wisely C. carefully D. quickly C D B B C B D C A B B A video of a 96-year-old granny has caught people’s attention because of her quick movements and thinking. The way she lives her life to the fullest every day has  　41　⁠ us a lot.  　　The grandma is from Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan. Every day she comes out at 11 pm to  　42　⁠ a stall(地摊) to sell things for children to play with and closes the shop at 5 am the next morning, and has stuck to it for more than 30 years. In the morning, she prepares goods for her  　43　⁠ business and she usually rests in the afternoon.  　　When she was asked why she spent so much time running a  　44　⁠ stall, the granny said she liked to keep herself busy. And she wants to do something  　45　⁠ instead of killing her time. Her children have advised her to stop, but she  　46　⁠, saying she has found pleasure in it. The grandma thinks  　47　⁠ is easy in the world if we don’t try our best. Her business can’t make her wealthy soon and in fact she doesn’t  　48　⁠ to make much money.  　　The grandma has got  　49　⁠ for being even more hard-working than many young people. But she says that young people are trying hard to achieve their dreams, and that  　50　⁠ people should learn from them. People are greatly encouraged by her spirit.  (　B　)41.

He had never been able to roar. But no other animals knew about this. Since he realised he couldn’t roar from an early age, he had learned to talk softly with everyone and convince them without raising his voice. This won him the trust of all the animals in the forest. But one day the lion couldn’t find a way to convince a pig. This made the lion want to roar at the pig, but he couldn’t. To solve this problem, he spent a few months inventing a roaring machine. When he met the pig again, the lion used the machine. It sent out a very loud roar. Not only did this shock the pig, it also shocked other animals. For months they were afraid to come out. The lion became sad and lonely. He realised that roaring was a useless way to make others listen to him. So he never used the machine again. Little by little, using his soft voice and convincing words the lion managed to win the animals’ trust again. (　B　)59. What couldn’t the lion do from an early age? A. Talk softly. B. Shout loudly. C.

C A video of a girl dancing at a pork store in Naduo Village in China’s Yunnan Province went viral online(在网上快速传播), moving many people. The girl named Wu Gangyun lives in a very poor village. When she was 6 years old, her mum found she liked to watch dancing videos and imitate(模仿) the moves. The parents decided to send her to dancing classes. Teachers in the county were amazed by what she could do, especially when they learned she taught herself by watching online videos. “The teachers suggested we should find a better teacher for her,” her father said. But it cost more than what the family could afford, and they didn’t know where to find such instruction. Zhang Ping and her husband set up a programme called“Colourful Cloud Plan”. It helps the poor children in mountain areas to change their lives. After watching videos of Wu’s dancing, they realised they discovered a talent. Since then, Wu Gangyun went to learn dancing with Zhang every weekend. In October 2019, Wu Gangyun and other girls in the programme performed on the stage of CCTV. It was the first time for them to take trains or planes, visit a big city and perform on stage. “I want to be a dancer in the future and I want to be a person like teacher Zhang,” said Wu Gangyun. (　A　)63. How do most people know Wu Gangyun? A. By watching a video of her dancing at a pork store. B. By hearing the story of her dancing. C. By the introduction of her teacher. D. By watching her dancing on the stage of CCTV. (　C　)64. Who taught Wu to dance at first? A. Her teacher. B. Her mother. C. Herself. D. Zhang Ping. A C (　D　)65. What can we know from the passage? A.

D. “Colourful Cloud Plan” helps the poor children in mountain areas. (　D　)66. What’s the best title for this passage? A. A beautiful girl B. A girl winner C. A good teacher D. A talented dancer D D D Have you ever imagined one day you would find a wonderful world when opening a walnut(核桃)? Bao Xiaodie from Changsha, Hunan Province made that true. Bao is a teacher who teaches young children to make things with clay. In December 2017, a woman found her online and offered to pay her to create a Christmas scene inside a walnut shell(壳). At first, she wanted to say no. “It sounded too difficult. I used to make big clay art pieces. At that time I thought a walnut was too small to hold all the objects,”she said. Bao tried over and over again, but nothing came except broken walnut shells. Then she also tried all kinds of clay. One day she received a whole walnut shell from a friend. Luckily, she found it worked well. Finally she completed her first work. Her first customer was satisfied and she felt a great sense of achievement. (　C　)67. Why did Bao want to refuse the woman at first? A. Because she was too busy with her work. B. Because the pay was too low. C. Because it was too difficult. D. Because her tools were too big. (　D　)68. What is Bao probably like? A. Honest and polite. B. Careful and humorous. C. Quiet and friendly. D. Patient and hard-working. C D In order to meet(满足) her customers’ requirements, she always asks them to describe what scenes or feelings they want to show. Although it takes her much time to make a piece, Bao often makes five or six and chooses the best one to send to her customers. (　C　)69. What can we learn from the passage? A. Bao was good at making small art pieces before. B. The materials for art pieces in walnuts are expensive. C. Bao always tries her best to meet the needs of her customers. D. It takes Bao at least two weeks to create a scene inside a walnut sell. C E Every culture around the world has different customs and ways of communicating. When you learn a language, you learn more than words. In China, people are used to saying “sorry” to show that they regret doing something wrong. But American people often use the word “sorry”—even when they don’t really mean it! Usually, if they want to ask a stranger for the time, they will start by saying “Sorry to trouble you”. If they’re five minutes late for the appointment, they will greet the person by saying “Sorry, I’m late!”. They use the word“sorry”in so many different situations that the meaning of the word has changed a little over time. The two main dictionary definitions(定义) of “sorry” are: 1) feeling sad for someone else because of his problems or bad luck; 2) feeling regret because you’ve done something wrong. So what does “sorry” really mean? And why do Western people use it so much? Well, in Western culture, saying “sorry” is a way to be polite. It’s also a very clever way to get what they want. If you want to borrow something from others, you’d better say “sorry” to them about something. Or it’s hard for you to get what you want. So maybe saying “sorry” is not only just being polite, but also a good method to get what you want! (　A　)70. When do people in China say “sorry” according to the text? A. When they regret doing something wrong. B. When they ask strangers for help. C. When they greet people for the first time. D. When they arrive at a place early. (　A　)71. What does the underlined word “appointment” in the second paragraph mean? A. 约会 B. 协议 C. 想法 D. 安全 (　B　)72. What’s the best title for the text? A. How to say “sorry” correctly B. The different meanings of “sorry” C. Why Western people say “sorry” D. Why Chinese people say “sorry” A A B 　　阅读下面短文,并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题的词数要求)。 F I hit a stranger as he walked by me.“Oh, excuse me,” I said. He replied with a smile and said, “Please excuse me too. I wasn’t watching out for you.” We said sorry to each other and went our own ways. Later that day, when I was cooking, my daughter was standing too close to me. When I turned to reach for some milk, I nearly knocked her over. “Move out of the way!”I shouted. She walked away sadly. While I was in bed that evening, my husband said to me, “While dealing with a stranger, you were polite, but with a daughter you love, you were unkind. Your daughter brought you some flowers that she picked herself this afternoon. You’ll find them in the kitchen by the door.” I quietly went to my daughter’s bed . “Dear, I’m so sorry ,” I said . “Are these the flowers you picked for me?” She said, “I found them by the tree. I picked them because they’re pretty like you. I knew you’d like them.” I replied, “I’m really sorry for the way I acted today. I shouldn’t have shouted at you.” “It’s okay. I love you anyway ,” she said as she kissed me. It’s important for us to be kind to our loved ones. Everyone can live in a happy family if they do like this. 73.
