Interested in Chinese classical novels? Have a look at the following four books which are we known to most Chinese as Four Masterpieces. The Water Margin The Water Margin, also known as All Men Are Brothers in Pearl Buck’s translation, Shui Hu Zhuan in Chinese, is along chapter novel with the Song Jiang Uprising in the late Northern Song Dynasty as the main background and type of heroic legend. It is an immortal (不朽的) novel and has inspired many storytellers. The author of the novel is generally regarded as Shi Nai’an (1296~1371). Romance of the Three Kingdoms Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the first full-length historical romance novel in China. Its author is Luo Guan zhong (about 1330~1400), a famous novelist in the late Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty. Characters such as Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang have become household names among the Chinese. Journey to the West Journey to the West is the first romantic chapter novel about gods and devils in ancient China. There are 100 copies of Journey to the Westin the existing Ming Publications without the author’s signature. Wu Yuxuan, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty, first proposed that the author of Journey to the West was Wu Cheng’en (1500~1582) of the Ming Dynasty. The Dream of the Red Chamber The Dream of the Red Chamber, also called The Story of the Stone, is said to be the greatest masterpiece of Chinese fiction. It is generally believed to be written by Cao Xueqin (about 1715~1763), a writer of the Qing Dynasty. With hundreds of persons and their stories, the story is very complex but also very interesting for its encyclopedic character(百科全书式的人物). 21. Which book should people read if they want to know something about the character Song Jiang? A. The Water Margin. B. Romance of the Three Kingdoms. C. Journey to the West. D. The Dream of the Red Chamber. 22. Who lived in the 16th century? A. Shi Nai’an. B. Luo Guanzhong. C. Wu Cheng’en. D. Cao Xueqin. 23. What column (专栏) in a magazine might the passage come from? A. Health. B. Literature. C. Sports. D. Science. 【答案】21. A 22. C 23. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了中国四大名著。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Water Margin部分中“The Water Margin, also known as All Men Are Brothers in Pearl Buck’s translation, Shui Hu Zhuan in Chinese, is along chapter novel with the Song Jiang Uprising in the late Northern Song Dynasty as the main background and type of heroic legend. (《水浒传》是一部以北宋末年宋江起义为主要背景和英雄传奇类型的长篇小说，在赛珍珠的译名《水浒传》中又称“天下皆兄弟”。)”可知，如果读者想要了解关于宋江的故事，可以阅读《水浒传》。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Dream of the Red Chamber 部分中“The Dream of the Red Chamber, also called The Story of the Stone, is said to be the greatest masterpiece of Chinese fiction. It is generally believed to be written by Cao Xueqin (about 1715~1763), a writer of the Qing Dynasty. (《红楼梦》，也叫《石头记》，据说是中国小说中最伟大的杰作。一般认为是清代作家曹雪芹(约1715~1763)所著。)”可知，清代作家曹雪芹生活在16世纪。故选C。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，文章介绍了中国四大名著，因此推断文章出自于杂志的文学专栏。故选B。 B I remember that it was a fall morning when the orchestra (管弦乐队) teachers came into Miss Newell’s third-grade classroom. “You have hands for the viola (中提琴),” Miss Ciano told me. I was excited because my hands were finally good for something. I told my parents I wanted to play, and naturally, they agreed. Since I first touched the viola, I haven’t been able to put it down. Ignoring the difficulty, I am pulled closer to it each day. Classical music is truly my best friend. It is the trusted friend of every man, woman and child. Various feelings are expressed in classical music. I discovered that when I was eleven and played a cello concerto (大提琴协奏曲) of Bach in a competition, the first movement was joyful, but the second movement was mysterious and full of pain. From the piece, I learned that music expresses not only feelings, but also sudden mood changes. By listening to classical music, I know that someone else shares these feelings. Since I am lucky enough to be able to play classical music, I am comforted by it when I am upset. It gives me a way to escape from my problems for a short period. Classical music can express my joy, sadness and anger. Now look back at that fall day in the third grade and think how gullible I was for believing that anyone, even music teachers, could tell whether hands were perfect for a certain instrument. I’m certain they told me I had “ viola hands” not because they were fortune-tellers (算命师), but because there was a lack of violists in our district. Classical music is one of the best things that ever happened to mankind. If you get introduced to it in the right way, it will become your friend for life. 24. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the first and second paragraphs? A. To introduce an interesting musical class. B. To show the importance of proper guide. C. To offer the evidence of her gift for music. D. To tell the power of support from parents. 25. According to the passage, in what way does classical music help the author? A. By developing social skills. B. By broadening life experience. C. By improving mental health. D. By building close relationship. 26. What does the underlined word “certain” mean in the last paragraph? A. generous B. definite C. relaxed D. upset 27. Which could be the best title for the passage? A. Lifetime dream, great effort. B. Happy childhood, unforgotten C. Special event, sweet memory. D. Classical music, endless friendship 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者一个偶然的机会开始拉中提琴，感受到古典音乐对我们的情感带来的好处，并把它看作一生最诚挚的朋友的故事。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“You have hands for the viola (中提琴)(你有一双拉提琴的手)”和“I told my parents I wanted to play, and naturally, they agreed.(我告诉父母我想拉琴，他们自然同意了)”以及第二段“Ignoring the difficulty, I am pulled closer to it each day.(无视困难，我每天都离它越来越近)”可知，因为老师的一句话以及父母的支持，作者才接触到古典音乐，并且坚持下去。由此可以推断，作者写第一、二段的目的是为了说明老师和父母的正确引导对作者后来喜欢上古典音乐的重要性。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I am comforted by it when I am upset. It gives me a way to escape from my problems for a short period. Classical music can express my joy, sadness and anger. (当我难过的时候，古典音乐给了我安慰。它给了我一个暂时逃避问题的方法。古典音乐可以表达我的喜悦、悲伤和愤怒)”可知，古典音乐可以帮助作者改善精神状况。故选C。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“Now look back at that fall day in the third grade and think how gullible I was for believing that anyone, even music teachers, could tell whether hands were perfect for a certain instrument.(现在回想起三年级那个秋天的日子，想想我是多么容易上当受骗，竟然相信任何人，甚至是音乐老师，都能分辨出手是否适合演奏某种乐器。)”和下文“but because there was a lack of violists in our district.(而是因为我们区缺乏中提琴手。)”可知，作者认识到当时相信了老师说自己“有一双拉中提琴的手”，而这其实并不是真话。由此可知，certain意为“确定的”。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段第一句“Classical music is truly my best friend.(古典音乐是我最好的朋友)”和文章最后一句“If you get introduced to it in the right way, it will become your friend for life.(如果你以正确的方式了解它，它将成为你终生的朋友)”可知，本文主要讲述了作者一个偶然的机会开始拉中提琴，从此古典音乐成了作者最好的朋友。因此“Classical Music, Endless Friendship（古典音乐，永恒的友谊）”适合可以用作文章标题。故选D。 C Tea is currently the world’s most popular drink, only after water. However, there was a time when tea was known only to the Chinese. So, how did tea originate in China? And how did it get to conquer the world to the extent that people often describe something they really like as their “cup of tea”? While we know that tea drink started in China, its true origin remains something unknown. Legend has it that about 5, 000 years ago, Shennong came across tea when dried leaves blew into a pot of boiling water. Following his discovery, tea was used as medicine, included in meals and later offered as a refreshing drink to officials and noblemen. Eventually, it became a common drink enjoyed by all Chinese people. The love of tea inspired many people to write about it. Over the years, tea drinking became an important part of China’s rich culture. The great poet Du Fu described his tea-drinking experience in poetic language. Lu Yu, a tea master, wrote The Classic of Tea, which remains the earliest and most famous detailed study on tea in the world. It is then not surprising that the beauty of tea was eventually spread to a wider world. Tang and Song Dynasties needed strong Tibetan horses, so the Tea Horse Road was born. Porters (脚夫) carrying back-breaking loads of tea bricks made their way through dangerous snow-covered mountain passes, to trade Sichuan and Yunnan tea for horses. Over time, the gift of tea was further delivered to Western Asia and Easten Africa. As early as the Tang Dynasty, Saicho, a Japanese monk came to study in China and took tea seeds and tea-making customs to Japan. Around the 1600s, tea was shipped to Europe from China by Portuguese and Dutch sea traders. 28. What was tea first used as in China? A. Medicine. B. Drink. C. Food. D. Goods. 29. Who wrote the earliest detailed study on tea? A. Shennong. B. Saicho. C. Du Fu. D. Lu Yu. 30. How was tea spread to Europe? A. Taken by monks. B. Carried by porters. C. Shipped by traders. D. Delivered by horses. 31. What is the purpose of the text? A. To study the customs of tea. B. To introduce the history of tea. C. To show the importance of tea. D. To describe different uses of tea. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要讲述了茶在中国的起源和传播过程，并且介绍了茶在中国文化中的重要地位。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Legend has it that about 5, 000 years ago, Shennong came across tea when dried leaves blew into a pot of boiling water. Following his discovery, tea was used as medicine, included in meals and later offered as a refreshing drink to officials and noblemen. Eventually, it became a common drink enjoyed by all Chinese people.(传说，大约5000年前，当干叶子被吹进一壶沸水时，神农发现了茶。在他的发现之后，茶被用作药物，包括在饭菜中，后来作为提神饮料提供给官员和贵族。最终，它成为所有中国人都喜欢的一种普通饮料。)”可知，茶最早被用作药物，后来才成为饮料。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“ Lu Yu, a tea master, wrote The Classic of Tea, which remains the earliest and most famous detailed study on tea in the world.(茶学大师陆羽所著的《茶经》至今仍是世界上最早、最著名的关于茶的详细研究。)”可知，陆羽是一位茶艺大师，他写了《茶经》，这是世界上最早也最有名的对茶的详细研究。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Around the 1600s, tea was shipped to Europe from China by Portuguese and Dutch sea traders.( 17世纪左右，茶叶由葡萄牙和荷兰的海上商人从中国运往欧洲。)”可知，茶叶由葡萄牙和荷兰的海上商人从中国运往欧洲。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Tea is currently the world’s most popular drink, only after water. However, there was a time when tea was known only to the Chinese. So, how did tea originate in China? And how did it get to conquer the world to the extent that people often describe something they really like as their “cup of tea”?(茶是目前世界上最受欢迎的饮料，仅次于水。然而，曾经有一段时间，只有中国人知道茶。那么，茶是如何起源于中国的呢？它是如何征服世界的，以至于人们经常把他们真正喜欢的东西描述为他们的“一杯茶”？)”可知，文章主要描述了茶在中国的起源和传播过程，因此目的是介绍茶的历史。故选B。 D For the first time in Hong Kong's history, an entertainer has been written into middle school textbooks. He is considered one of the best actors in Hong Kong. Yes, he is Chow Yunfat. The example of his long hard struggle for success has been used in a chapter in a Hong Kong middle school textbook. Using his experience students can learn to make the most of their time and to grab every opportunity to succeed. On hearing about this, Chow said joyfully, "I really hope that my experiences can make young people understand that one should not be afraid of difficulties and setbacks(挫折), for they are the only way to success." Indeed, Chow has travelled a long and difficult path to reach his success. In 1955, he was born into a poor family in Hong Kong. When he was 17, he had to leave school. He worked in a number of jobs——as a postman, camera salesman and taxi driver. These experiences paved the way for him to play all kinds of roles later in life. Chow broke into the film industry in the late 1970s. He was one of the hardest working actors and starred in a number of popular TV dramas and films including "Shanghai Bund" (《上海滩》)and "A Better Tomorrow". Since 1985, he has won many awards including Taiwan’s Golden Horse Awards and Hong Kong Film Awards. In 1995, he went to Hollywood. Although he was already in his 40s, he had to learn English. He even put chopsticks in his mouth to practise pronouncing certain sounds. His film, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", began to gain him more fame and recognition around the world. In 1998, the mayor of Chicago set aside January 12 as "Chow Yunfat Day." 32. Chow Yunfat has been written into middle school textbooks mainly because . A. he plays best in Hong Kong B. his experiences are very special C. he keeps on struggling for success D. he is well thought of 33. How did Chow feel when he learned that he had been written into middle school textbooks? A. Surprised. B. Shy. C. Sad. D. Delighted. 34. What can we infer from the passage? A. Chow Yunfat is proud of his success. B. Chow Yunfat is popular both at home and abroad. C. Chow Yunfat prefers to make a living by selling cameras rather than by performing. D. Chow Yunfat has won more awards than other actors. 35. The underlined sentence(in Paragraph 6)suggests . A. Chow Yunfat is willing to struggle with difficulties. B. chopsticks are of great help to practise English pronunciation. C. Chow Yunfat has suffered a lot since he went to Hollywood. D. it is hard for a person who is over 40 years old to learn spoken English. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述周润发作为追求成功而刻苦奋斗的例子入选中学课本，希望更多人学习他这种奋斗精神。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The example of his long hard struggle for success has been used in a chapter in a Hong Kong middle school textbook. Using his experience, students can learn to make the most of their time and to grab every opportunity to succeed. ”（香港一所中学的教科书中有一章引用了他为成功而长期奋斗的例子。通过他的经验，学生们可以学会充分利用时间，抓住每一个成功的机会。）可知，周润发被写进中学教科书是因为他一直坚持奋斗的精神，故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“On hearing about this, Chow said joyfully, ”（听到这些，周润发高兴地说）可知，当知道自己被写进中学教科书时，周润发是高兴的，故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的第二句 “His film, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", began to gain him more fame and recognition around the world.”（他的电影《卧虎藏龙》开始为他在世界各地赢得更多的声誉和认可）可推知，周润发在国内外都很受欢迎。故选B。 【35题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线句子“He even put chopsticks in his mouth to practise pronouncing certain sounds. ”（他甚至把筷子放在嘴里练习发音。）可推知，这表明了周润发的奋斗精神，故选A。 【点睛】推理判断题的推断对象主要包括隐含意思、目标读者、观点态度、文章出处、写作意图等。以推断隐含意义的题目居多。推断隐含意义，即要求根据文章的某个句子、段落或全文所提供的事实进行逻辑推理，推断出作者没有提到、没有明说或者可能发生的事实。题干中常含infer（推断），suggest（暗示），imply（暗示），indicate（暗示），conclude（推断，得出结论）等词语。解此类题，首先找到相关信息，然后细读、理解相关信息的字面意义，最后结合语境和常识，在字面意义的基础上进行符合逻辑的推断，从而理解作者的言外之意。如小题4，根据划线句子“He even put chopsticks in his mouth to practise pronouncing certain sounds. ” 他甚至把筷子放在嘴里练习发音。这表明了周润发的奋斗精神，故选A。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2．5分，满分12．5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you promised that your are going to get healthier?

Emily’s parents could not afford to buy a new table. However, they agreed to buy her a second-hand table. One day after school, Emily’s mother took her to the second-hand store so that she could buy the table of her choice. By accident, she opened a drawer in an old black table. And, guess what? A small plastic bag with some dollar bills! “Maybe I have found somebody’s secret bag. Am I the luckiest twelve-year-old? My birthday is coming up soon. With this money, I can buy myself great presents. And maybe I can even buy things for my family.” Emily thought. She stared at it with greedy (贪婪的) eyes and quickly pushed the bag to the end of the drawer. She told her mother she wanted that black table and later it was organized in her room. When everybody left, she locked the room, quickly opened the drawer and took the plastic bag with dollars out. There was a note in the money bag. It seemed that some old lady was saving the money for her children and grandchildren. She could hear her heart beat louder and louder when finally she counted twelve thousand dollars. But now, with the money she had, she thought that she would have to make up many lies to spend it. She would have to hide the money all the time. She thought, “This money is not meant for me.” She had felt the worst fear of getting caught from the moment she thought of stealing. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Finally, she called her parents into her room. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The store owner was quite surprised on hearing the story. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Finally, she called her parents into her room. She showed them the money and told them that she had seen the bag in the store and stole it in this way. She had lost her honesty but she wanted to regain it back. “Let us take it back to the store and try to find the old lady’s family.” Emily told her parents. Emily’s parents did not get mad at her but appreciated her honesty. The store owner was quite surprised on hearing the story. “You mean that you found almost twelve thousand dollars and you are here to return it?” he asked. Looking through the records, he found the family’s telephone number. Half an hour later, the family came over to the store. They were still sad about losing their beloved. It turned out that Emily brought them timely help, because they were in great need of money. Emily’s parents had tears in their eyes, feeling proud that their daughter had passed an important test—the lost and found test of honesty. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了艾米丽因为妹妹在她的作业上画画而请求父母给她买一张有抽屉的学习桌，父母带她去了二手商店，在这里艾米丽发现一张桌子的抽屉里有装了钱的塑料袋，于是要求把它买回家，面对塑料袋中的一万两千美元，艾米丽最终告诉了父母，并和父母一起回到商店，在店主的帮助下找到了失主，艾米丽也找回了诚实。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“最后，她把父母叫进房间。”可知，第一段可描写艾米丽向父母说出这笔巨款的真相，为了找回诚实，请父母把钱送回商店，并试着还给失主。 ②由第二段首句内容“店主听到这个故事非常惊讶。”可知，第二段可描写店主想办法联系到了这张桌子的原主人，最终物归原主，艾米丽也找回了诚实。 2.续写线索：说明真相——送回商店——老板惊讶——联系原主——物归原主 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.看见：see/ catch sight of ②.试着做：try to do/endeavor to do ③.问：ask/ inquire 情绪类 ①.为……而难过：be sad about/feel sorry for ②.为……感到骄傲：feel proud that… / take pride in the fact that… 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Have a look at the following four books which are we known to most Chinese as Four Masterpieces. The Water Margin The Water Margin, also known as All Men Are Brothers in Pearl Buck’s translation, Shui Hu Zhuan in Chinese, is along chapter novel with the Song Jiang Uprising in the late Northern Song Dynasty as the main background and type of heroic legend. It is an immortal (不朽的) novel and has inspired many storytellers. The author of the novel is generally regarded as Shi Nai’an (1296~1371). Romance of the Three Kingdoms Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the first full-length historical romance novel in China. Its author is Luo Guan zhong (about 1330~1400), a famous novelist in the late Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty. Characters such as Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang have become household names among the Chinese. Journey to the West Journey to the West is the first romantic chapter novel about gods and devils in ancient China. There are 100 copies of Journey to the Westin the existing Ming Publications without the author’s signature. Wu Yuxuan, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty, first proposed that the author of Journey to the West was Wu Cheng’en (1500~1582) of the Ming Dynasty. The Dream of the Red Chamber The Dream of the Red Chamber, also called The Story of the Stone, is said to be the greatest masterpiece of Chinese fiction. It is generally believed to be written by Cao Xueqin (about 1715~1763), a writer of the Qing Dynasty. With hundreds of persons and their stories, the story is very complex but also very interesting for its encyclopedic character(百科全书式的人物). 21. Which book should people read if they want to know something about the character Song Jiang? A. The Water Margin. B. Romance of the Three Kingdoms. C. Journey to the West. D. The Dream of the Red Chamber. 22. Who lived in the 16th century? A. Shi Nai’an. B. Luo Guanzhong. C. Wu Cheng’en. D. Cao Xueqin. 23. What column (专栏) in a magazine might the passage come from? A. Health. B. Literature. C. Sports. D. Science. B I remember that it was a fall morning when the orchestra (管弦乐队) teachers came into Miss Newell’s third-grade classroom. “You have hands for the viola (中提琴),” Miss Ciano told me. I was excited because my hands were finally good for something. I told my parents I wanted to play, and naturally, they agreed. Since I first touched the viola, I haven’t been able to put it down. Ignoring the difficulty, I am pulled closer to it each day. Classical music is truly my best friend. It is the trusted friend of every man, woman and child. Various feelings are expressed in classical music. I discovered that when I was eleven and played a cello concerto (大提琴协奏曲) of Bach in a competition, the first movement was joyful, but the second movement was mysterious and full of pain. From the piece, I learned that music expresses not only feelings, but also sudden mood changes. By listening to classical music, I know that someone else shares these feelings. Since I am lucky enough to be able to play classical music, I am comforted by it when I am upset. It gives me a way to escape from my problems for a short period. Classical music can express my joy, sadness and anger. Now look back at that fall day in the third grade and think how gullible I was for believing that anyone, even music teachers, could tell whether hands were perfect for a certain instrument. I’m certain they told me I had “ viola hands” not because they were fortune-tellers (算命师), but because there was a lack of violists in our district. Classical music is one of the best things that ever happened to mankind. If you get introduced to it in the right way, it will become your friend for life. 24. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the first and second paragraphs? A. To introduce an interesting musical class. B. To show the importance of proper guide. C. To offer the evidence of her gift for music. D. To tell the power of support from parents. 25. According to the passage, in what way does classical music help the author? A. By developing social skills. B. By broadening life experience. C. By improving mental health. D. By building close relationship. 26. What does the underlined word “certain” mean in the last paragraph? A. generous B. definite C. relaxed D. upset 27. Which could be the best title for the passage? A. Lifetime dream, great effort. B. Happy childhood, unforgotten C. Special event, sweet memory. D. Classical music, endless friendship C Tea is currently the world’s most popular drink, only after water. However, there was a time when tea was known only to the Chinese. So, how did tea originate in China? And how did it get to conquer the world to the extent that people often describe something they really like as their “cup of tea”? While we know that tea drink started in China, its true origin remains something unknown. Legend has it that about 5, 000 years ago, Shennong came across tea when dried leaves blew into a pot of boiling water. Following his discovery, tea was used as medicine, included in meals and later offered as a refreshing drink to officials and noblemen. Eventually, it became a common drink enjoyed by all Chinese people. The love of tea inspired many people to write about it. Over the years, tea drinking became an important part of China’s rich culture. The great poet Du Fu described his tea-drinking experience in poetic language. Lu Yu, a tea master, wrote The Classic of Tea, which remains the earliest and most famous detailed study on tea in the world. It is then not surprising that the beauty of tea was eventually spread to a wider world. Tang and Song Dynasties needed strong Tibetan horses, so the Tea Horse Road was born. Porters (脚夫) carrying back-breaking loads of tea bricks made their way through dangerous snow-covered mountain passes, to trade Sichuan and Yunnan tea for horses. Over time, the gift of tea was further delivered to Western Asia and Easten Africa. As early as the Tang Dynasty, Saicho, a Japanese monk came to study in China and took tea seeds and tea-making customs to Japan. Around the 1600s, tea was shipped to Europe from China by Portuguese and Dutch sea traders. 28 What was tea first used as in China? A. Medicine. B. Drink. C. Food. D. Goods. 29.

D For the first time in Hong Kong's history, an entertainer has been written into middle school textbooks. He is considered one of the best actors in Hong Kong. Yes, he is Chow Yunfat. The example of his long hard struggle for success has been used in a chapter in a Hong Kong middle school textbook. Using his experience, students can learn to make the most of their time and to grab every opportunity to succeed. On hearing about this, Chow said joyfully, "I really hope that my experiences can make young people understand that one should not be afraid of difficulties and setbacks(挫折), for they are the only way to success." Indeed, Chow has travelled a long and difficult path to reach his success. In 1955, he was born into a poor family in Hong Kong. When he was 17, he had to leave school. He worked in a number of jobs——as a postman, camera salesman and taxi driver. These experiences paved the way for him to play all kinds of roles later in life. Chow broke into the film industry in the late 1970s. He was one of the hardest working actors and starred in a number of popular TV dramas and films including "Shanghai Bund" (《上海滩》)and "A Better Tomorrow". Since 1985, he has won many awards including Taiwan’s Golden Horse Awards and Hong Kong Film Awards. In 1995, he went to Hollywood. Although he was already in his 40s, he had to learn English. He even put chopsticks in his mouth to practise pronouncing certain sounds. His film, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", began to gain him more fame and recognition around the world. In 1998, the mayor of Chicago set aside January 12 as "Chow Yunfat Day." 32. Chow Yunfat has been written into middle school textbooks mainly because . A. he plays best in Hong Kong B. his experiences are very special C. he keeps on struggling for success D. he is well thought of 33. How did Chow feel when he learned that he had been written into middle school textbooks? A. Surprised. B. Shy. C. Sad. D. Delighted. 34. What can we infer from the passage? A. Chow Yunfat is proud of his success. B. Chow Yunfat is popular both at home and abroad. C. Chow Yunfat prefers to make a living by selling cameras rather than by performing. D. Chow Yunfat has won more awards than other actors. 35. The underlined sentence(in Paragraph 6)suggests . A. Chow Yunfat is willing to struggle with difficulties. B. chopsticks are of great help to practise English pronunciation. C. Chow Yunfat has suffered a lot since he went to Hollywood. D. it is hard for a person who is over 40 years old to learn spoken English. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2．5分，满分12．5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you promised that your are going to get healthier?

This was not the first time that her sister had ruined her school work. So, Emily requested her parents to buy her a study table with drawers (抽屉) where she could safely keep her books. Emily’s parents could not afford to buy a new table. However, they agreed to buy her a second-hand table. One day after school, Emily’s mother took her to the second-hand store so that she could buy the table of her choice. By accident, she opened a drawer in an old black table. And, guess what? A small plastic bag with some dollar bills! “Maybe I have found somebody’s secret bag. Am I the luckiest twelve-year-old? My birthday is coming up soon. With this money, I can buy myself great presents. And maybe I can even buy things for my family.” Emily thought. She stared at it with greedy (贪婪的) eyes and quickly pushed the bag to the end of the drawer. She told her mother she wanted that black table and later it was organized in her room. When everybody left, she locked the room, quickly opened the drawer and took the plastic bag with dollars out. There was a note in the money bag. It seemed that some old lady was saving the money for her children and grandchildren. She could hear her heart beat louder and louder when finally she counted twelve thousand dollars. But now, with the money she had, she thought that she would have to make up many lies to spend it. She would have to hide the money all the time.
