It is on the second day of the second month of the Chinese lunar calendar. This year it falls on March 11th. An old saying goes, “Er yue er, long tai tou.” It means on the second day of the second month, the dragon lifts his head. This festival was important in ancient China. People believed after this day the rain would increase because the rain-bringing Dragon King woke up from his winter sleep. So it marked the start of spring and farming. There are many ways to celebrate the festival. The most famous tradition is to have a haircut. Some people believe that having a haircut on this day brings them good luck, while others believe that having a haircut in the first lunar month will cause their uncle to die. People in East China’s Fujian Province eat tofu balls during the festival. They often make tofu and vegetable balls to pray for family and business—hoping everything goes well. Eating chengyao cakes on this day is a tradition in Suzhou, East China’s Jiangsu Province. It is said that if you eat chengyao cakes on Longtaitou, your waist (腰) won’t hurt the whole year. People in parts of Shandong Province eat fried beans to celebrate the festival. Other foods, like noodles, dumplings, spring rolls (春卷) and popcorn, are all given dragon names on this day. Noodles are called dragons’ beard (long xu), dumplings are dragons’ ears (long er), spring rolls are dragons’ scales (long lin), and popcorn is called dragons’ seeds (long zi). It’s said that eating these foods on this day can bring good luck. 50. Why was this festival important in ancient China? A. Because it was time to begin to farm. B. Because it was a symbol of good luck. C. Because people could have a haircut. 51. What does the underlined word “pray” mean? A. Treat others politely. B. Give thanks. C. Make a wish. 52. What are called dragons’ ears on this festival? A. Dumplings. B. Spring rolls. C. Fried beans. 53. In which part of the newspaper can we read the article? A. Science. B. Chinese culture. C. Health. 【答案】50. A 51. C 52. A 53. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了传统节日——龙抬头。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据“This festival was important in ancient China. People believed after this day the rain would increase because the rain-bringing Dragon King woke up from his winter sleep. So it marked the start of spring and farming.”可知，在中国古代，这个节日很重要是因为它标志着春天和农耕的开始。故选A。 【51题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“hoping everything goes well”可知，他们希望一切都很好，因此可知他们经常做豆腐和蔬菜丸子是来为家庭和事业祈祷，划线单词表示“祈祷”，与make a wish近义。故选C。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据“dumplings are dragons’ ears (long er)”可知，饺子被称作“龙耳”。故选A。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。本文主要介绍了中国的传统节日——龙抬头，可以在中国文化版块读到该文章。故选B。 C One morning, I got up early and decided to make an apple pie for my mom. I called my grandma for help, followed a TV program to make jam and waited excitedly. I enjoyed every step so much that I didn’t notice three hours had passed by. Although the pie looked terrible and was not that delicious, Mom ate it up and told me it was the best pie that she had ever had. For the first time, I realized that although I didn’t make the pie successfully, I really enjoyed the process. The process is important because it brings us something bigger than the result itself. That is, we always have new experiences during the process, which may help us improve our skills or form good relationships with others. If we just focus on the result and do not enjoy the process, we will be more likely to feel disappointed and want to give up. As a result, we will never understand the real meaning of success. But in this busy world, we see a lot of successful people are in competition. How can we enjoy the process? Well, the question has the answer in itself. Don’t always compare yourself with others. First of all, we are all different. And success means different things to us. For some, success means being famous, while for others, it may be health or power. Ride your own ride. Slow down. You need to stop expecting immediate results in what you do and learn to be patient. Impatience leads to unhappiness. Do it slowly, but never stop. Reward (奖励) yourself. Divide the process into small steps, and give yourself a reward after completing each of them. Rewarding yourself for small wins can go a long way. For example, if you are in the process of losing weight, enjoy your favorite cake once in a while. 54. How does the writer start the article? A. By giving an example. B. By comparing facts. C. By using old sayings. 55. What can we infer from Paragraph 1? A. The writer’s mom was pleased with the pie the writer made though it wasn’t delicious. B.

Maybe you would say it is because the teacher’s class is boring. ____58____ Perhaps this is something you have not paid enough attention to or not yet noticed. Purpose of sleep ____59____ Sleep helps our bodies heal (修复), grow, and stay healthy. It also gives us energy, so we can be active all day. Doctors and health scientists say: When you close your eyes and need to rest, sleep is just the very best! This is more than advice. Sleep time Enough sleep is important to us. How much sleep do we need? New-born babies sleep most of the time. They can sleep 20～22 hours a day. Children need 10～12 hours of sleep a day. Teenagers need 8～10 hours of sleep a day because they need lots of energy to grow into their adult bodies. Grown-ups usually need 6～8 hours of sleep to keep active. The older you get, the less sleep you will need. ____60____ Interesting facts Almost everyone has their dreams while they sleep, but not all of them can tell their dreams clearly when they wake up. ____61____ More surprisingly, some may even get up in their dreams and walk around. This is called “sleepwalking”. Are you a sleepwalker? Or, is there a sleepwalker around you? ____62____ It’s not just people that love to snooze (打盹). In fact, many animals have unusual or surprising sleeping habits. Some animals, such as bears and hedgehogs, sleep all through winter. The swift is a very fast bird that can sleep while it flies! Cute koalas sleep around 18 hours a day. Giraffes don’t need much sleep at all. They usually sleep standing up. A. Sleepy animals. B. Why do we need sleep? C. Some people talk in their dreams. D. However, the real reason is probably that we don’t have enough sleep. E. That is why old people sleep less than young people. F. Some people never dream while they sleep. 【答案】58. D 59. B 60. E 61. C 62. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了我们为什么需要睡眠，睡眠的时间，梦游以及动物睡觉的情况。 【58题详解】 根据“Maybe you would say it is because the teacher’s class is boring.”及“Perhaps this is something you have not paid enough attention to or not yet noticed.”可知，此处应解释课上感到疲倦的真正原因，选项D“然而，真正的原因可能是我们没有足够的睡眠。”符合语境。故选D。 【59题详解】 根据标题“Purpose of sleep”可知，本段介绍为什么我们需要睡眠，此句位于本段开头，应引出段落主题，选项B“我们为什么需要睡眠？”符合语境。故选B。 【60题详解】 根据前句“The older you get, the less sleep you will need.”可知，此处介绍岁数越大，需要的睡眠就越少的原因，选项E“那就是为什么老人比年轻人睡眠少的原因。”符合语境。故选E。 【61题详解】 根据后句“More surprisingly, some may even get up in their dreams and walk around.”可知，此处应介绍做梦时人们可能会做出的动作，选项C“有些人会在梦中说话。”符合语境。故选C。 【62题详解】 根据本段内容“In fact, many animals have unusual or surprising sleeping habits…”可知，本段介绍了某些动物的睡眠情况，此空是本段的标题，选项A“昏昏欲睡的动物”符合语境。故选A。 第三节（共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，根据其内容填空和回答问题。（1至4题每题答案不超过3个单词，5题须用完整句子回答。） September is a big month for students in China since the new term begins from now on. In ancient China, the school entrance ceremony was one of the most important ceremonies. Children began school between the ages of 4～7 in ancient China. Since there was no certain time to begin a new term at that time, the most important thing for parents was to choose a lucky day for their children to enter school. Next, parents would prepare some school things for their children, including desks, chairs and four treasures of the study. In ancient times, teachers were usually very knowledgeable local persons. Parents would prepare many gifts, and then write a letter of invitation to ask a knowledgeable man to be their children's teacher. On the day their children entered school, parents would take them to take part in the First Writing Ceremony. Before that, children would kowtow (叩头) to the statue of Confucius (孔子像) 9 times and then to their teacher 3 times to show their deep respect (尊敬). During the ceremony, the teacher would put a red point on the students' forehead (前额) as it meant opening the wisdom eye. Children would also ring a certain bell to start a new term. After that, they could finally sit down in their seats and begin to study. The First Writing Ceremony was a very important ceremony for every student. Every day, students would arrive at school earlier than their teacher, and kowtow to the statue of Confucius, and then go back to the seats. Usually the teacher would give every student a new name, which was used for the future imperial examination (科举考试). Today, some schools are starting to hold an entrance ceremony like they did in ancient times. Students put on traditional costumes and bow to the statue of Confucius and their teachers. This means that from this moment, they take a step in the lifelong journey of learning. 63. Children began school when they were ________ years old in ancient China. 64 It was very important for parents to choose ________ and then prepare some school things for their children to enter school in ancient China. 65. In order to show ________, children would kowtow to the statue of Confucius and their teacher before the First Writing Ceremony. 66. Usually a new name was given to every student by ________, which was used for the future imperial examination. 67. Do you think the school entrance ceremony is important? Why or why not? ____________________________________________________ 【答案】63. four to seven 64. a lucky day 65. their deep respect 66. their teacher 67. Yes. Because it means students take a step in the lifelong journey of learning from that moment. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国古代最重要的仪式之一——入学典礼。 【63题详解】 根据“Children began school between the ages of 4～7 in ancient China.”中国古代儿童4～7岁开始上学。故填four to seven。 【64题详解】 根据“the most important thing for parents was to choose a lucky day for their children to enter school”对于家长来说，最重要的是为孩子选择一个吉日入学。故填a lucky day。 【65题详解】 根据“Before that, children would kowtow to the statue of Confucius 9 times and then to their teacher 3 times to show their deep respect”在此之前，孩子们会向孔子像叩头九次，再向老师叩头三次，以表达深深的敬意。可知，是为了显示尊敬。故填their deep respect。 【66题详解】 根据“Usually the teacher would give every student a new name, which was used for the future imperial examination”通常老师会给每个学生起一个新名字，用于将来的科举考试。故填their teacher。 【67题详解】 合理即可。故答案为：Yes. Because it means students take a step in the lifelong journey of learning from that moment. 第四部分 语言运用（共两节，满分25分） 第一节（共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据中文意思，补全英语译文。（每空限填一词，缩写算一词） 68. 与人握手时脱下手套是礼貌的。 ________ ________ to take off your gloves when you shake hands with others. 【答案】 ①. It’s ②. polite 【解析】 【详解】此处句型结构为it is + adj. + to do sth“做某事是……的”，其中，动词不定式作真正的主语，it作形式主语，结合“when you shake hands with others”可知，句子应用一般现在时，所以此处be动词应用is，polite“礼貌的”。故填It’s；polite。 69. 春天是充满生机和希望的季节。 Spring is a season ________ ________ life and hope. 【答案】 ①. full ②. of 【解析】 【详解】“充满”full of，固定搭配。故填full；of。 70. 快点，否则我们将错过电影的开场。 Hurry up, or we ________ ________ the beginning of the movie. 【答案】 ①. will ②. miss 【解析】 【详解】根据汉语提示可知此处缺少动词“错过”，译为“miss”，根据语境可知此句应用一般将来时，因此动词前需加助动词“will”。故填will；miss。 71. 汤姆是一个有创造力的男孩子，发明了许多实用的发明。 Tom is a creative boy ________ ________ many practical inventions. 【答案】 ①. who##that ②. invented 【解析】 【详解】分析句子可知，此句是是定语从句，先行词是人，所以用who或that引导。发明：invent，由于描述过去的事，所以是一般过去时，将invent变为invented。故填who/that；invented。 72. 在课堂上记笔记是学习英语的一种好方法。 ________ ________ in class is a good way to learn English. 【答案】 ①. Taking ②. notes 【解析】 【详解】take notes“做笔记”，为固定用法，结合“... in class is a good way to learn English.”可知，此处应用动词ing形式作主语，且句首首字母应大写。故填Taking；notes。 第二节（共10个小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在各题空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Last March I lost my camera while I was on a school trip.

June 27 C. July 2 49. It will probably be rainy for ________ days. A. 2 B. 4 C. 6 B The Longtaitou Festival, also known as the Eryue’er Festival, is a traditional festival. It is on the second day of the second month of the Chinese lunar calendar. This year it falls on March 11th. An old saying goes, “Er yue er, long tai tou.” It means on the second day of the second month, the dragon lifts his head. This festival was important in ancient China. People believed after this day the rain would increase because the rain-bringing Dragon King woke up from his winter sleep. So it marked the start of spring and farming. There are many ways to celebrate the festival. The most famous tradition is to have a haircut. Some people believe that having a haircut on this day brings them good luck, while others believe that having a haircut in the first lunar month will cause their uncle to die. People in East China’s Fujian Province eat tofu balls during the festival. They often make tofu and vegetable balls to pray for family and business—hoping everything goes well. Eating chengyao cakes on this day is a tradition in Suzhou, East China’s Jiangsu Province. It is said that if you eat chengyao cakes on Longtaitou, your waist (腰) won’t hurt the whole year. People in parts of Shandong Province eat fried beans to celebrate the festival. Other foods, like noodles, dumplings, spring rolls (春卷) and popcorn, are all given dragon names on this day. Noodles are called dragons’ beard (long xu), dumplings are dragons’ ears (long er), spring rolls are dragons’ scales (long lin), and popcorn is called dragons’ seeds (long zi). It’s said that eating these foods on this day can bring good luck. 50. Why was this festival important in ancient China? A. Because it was time to begin to farm. B. Because it was a symbol of good luck. C. Because people could have a haircut. 51. What does the underlined word “pray” mean? A. Treat others politely. B. Give thanks. C. Make a wish. 52. What are called dragons’ ears on this festival? A. Dumplings. B. Spring rolls. C. Fried beans. 53. In which part of the newspaper can we read the article? A. Science. B. Chinese culture. C. Health. C One morning, I got up early and decided to make an apple pie for my mom. I called my grandma for help, followed a TV program to make jam and waited excitedly. I enjoyed every step so much that I didn’t notice three hours had passed by. Although the pie looked terrible and was not that delicious, Mom ate it up and told me it was the best pie that she had ever had. For the first time, I realized that although I didn’t make the pie successfully, I really enjoyed the process. The process is important because it brings us something bigger than the result itself. That is, we always have new experiences during the process, which may help us improve our skills or form good relationships with others. If we just focus on the result and do not enjoy the process, we will be more likely to feel disappointed and want to give up. As a result, we will never understand the real meaning of success. But in this busy world, we see a lot of successful people are in competition. How can we enjoy the process? Well, the question has the answer in itself. Don’t always compare yourself with others. First of all, we are all different. And success means different things to us. For some, success means being famous, while for others, it may be health or power. Ride your own ride. Slow down. You need to stop expecting immediate results in what you do and learn to be patient. Impatience leads to unhappiness. Do it slowly, but never stop. Reward (奖励) yourself. Divide the process into small steps, and give yourself a reward after completing each of them. Rewarding yourself for small wins can go a long way. For example, if you are in the process of losing weight, enjoy your favorite cake once in a while. 54. How does the writer start the article? A. By giving an example. B. By comparing facts. C. By using old sayings. 55. What can we infer from Paragraph 1? A. The writer’s mom was pleased with the pie the writer made though it wasn’t delicious. B. The writer thought the process of making the apple pie was boring. C. The writer felt sorry that the pie looked terrible and wasn’t delicious. 56. What does the word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Process. B. Success. C. Award. 57. Which could be the best title for the text? A. Enjoy the Process B. What Does Success Mean to Us? C. Never Give Up 第二节（共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从6个选项中选出能分别填入5个小题空白处的最佳选项。 Do you know the reason why we feel tired in the middle of a class? Maybe you would say it is because the teacher’s class is boring. ____58____ Perhaps this is something you have not paid enough attention to or not yet noticed. Purpose of sleep ____59____ Sleep helps our bodies heal (修复), grow, and stay healthy. It also gives us energy, so we can be active all day. Doctors and health scientists say: When you close your eyes and need to rest, sleep is just the very best! This is more than advice. Sleep time Enough sleep is important to us. How much sleep do we need? New-born babies sleep most of the time. They can sleep 20～22 hours a day. Children need 10～12 hours of sleep a day. Teenagers need 8～10 hours of sleep a day because they need lots of energy to grow into their adult bodies. Grown-ups usually need 6～8 hours of sleep to keep active. The older you get, the less sleep you will need. ____60____ Interesting facts Almost everyone has their dreams while they sleep, but not all of them can tell their dreams clearly when they wake up. ____61____ More surprisingly, some may even get up in their dreams and walk around. This is called “sleepwalking”. Are you a sleepwalker? Or, is there a sleepwalker around you? ____62____ It’s not just people that love to snooze (打盹). In fact many animals have unusual or surprising sleeping habits. Some animals, such as bears and hedgehogs, sleep all through winter. The swift is a very fast bird that can sleep while it flies! Cute koalas sleep around 18 hours a day. Giraffes don’t need much sleep at all. They usually sleep standing up. A. Sleepy animals. B. Why do we need sleep? C Some people talk in their dreams. D. However, the real reason is probably that we don’t have enough sleep. E. That is why old people sleep less than young people. F.

Since there was no certain time to begin a new term at that time, the most important thing for parents was to choose a lucky day for their children to enter school. Next, parents would prepare some school things for their children, including desks, chairs and four treasures of the study. In ancient times, teachers were usually very knowledgeable local persons. Parents would prepare many gifts, and then write a letter of invitation to ask a knowledgeable man to be their children's teacher. On the day their children entered school, parents would take them to take part in the First Writing Ceremony. Before that, children would kowtow (叩头) to the statue of Confucius (孔子像) 9 times and then to their teacher 3 times to show their deep respect (尊敬). During the ceremony, the teacher would put a red point on the students' forehead (前额) as it meant opening the wisdom eye. Children would also ring a certain bell to start a new term. After that, they could finally sit down in their seats and begin to study. The First Writing Ceremony was a very important ceremony for every student. Every day, students would arrive at school earlier than their teacher, and kowtow to the statue of Confucius, and then go back to the seats. Usually the teacher would give every student a new name, which was used for the future imperial examination (科举考试). Today, some schools are starting to hold an entrance ceremony like they did in ancient times. Students put on traditional costumes and bow to the statue of Confucius and their teachers. This means that from this moment, they take a step in the lifelong journey of learning. 63. Children began school when they were ________ years old in ancient China. 64.
