So, he had no other choice but to remain there till the next morning. The next day, a goat (山羊) came that way. She peeped (瞥见) into the well and saw the fox there. The goat asked, “What are you doing there, Mr. Fox?” The fox replied, “I came here to drink water. It is the best that I have ever tasted. Come and see for yourself.” The goat was really thirsty, so without thinking even for a while, she jumped into the well. The water was really good, and she drank a lot. When she tried to look for a way to get out, she also found herself helpless to come out. Then the fox said, “I have an idea. You stand on your hind (后部的) legs. I’ll climb on your head and get out. Then I shall help you come out too.” The goat didn’t think too much and did as the fox said and helped him get out of the well. While walking away, the fox said, “Had you been intelligent enough, you would never have got in without seeing how to get out.” 24. When did the fox most probably fall into the well? A. In the morning. B. At noon. C. In the afternoon. D. At night. 25. Why did the goat jump into the well? A. Because she wanted to see what happened in the well. B.

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The fox stayed in the well for more than two days. B. The fox came out of the well with the help of the goat. C. The goat jumped into the well but she didn’t drink water. D. The fox thanked the goat and then walked away. 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. Don’t walk around at night by yourself. B. Do not just believe anything without thinking. C. Don’t try to talk to anyone you don’t know. D. Wait for other people to help when you are in danger. C BMI is a measure (测量方法) that uses your height and weight to work out if you are fit. Some cities in China have included BMI in the PE test for the high school entrance examination, or zhongkao. For example, Beijing declared that BMI became a subject of the PE test for the zhongkao. Chengdu and Shanghai have also started similar actions. Zhang Yanshu is an eighth-grader from Beijing Chaoyang Foreign Language School. He started by running with his dad, and soon took training classes. “I think BMI and the events for the exam go well together. When I practice the events, my BMI gets better; when my BMI gets better, I feel more energetic doing the events.” Zhang also paid much attention to his food. “I ate brown rice instead of white rice, and chicken for meat most of the time,” he said. “It was for sure sad.” His BMI reached a good level after four months of effort. Chen Kaifei, 14, also from Beijing said that BMI is also a problem for students who are too thin, and has caused some “figure anxiety (身材焦虑)” among students. “However, mostly I think it has a good influence,” Chen said. “Everyone has a better understanding of their body and health conditions, and I started to care about my lifestyle every day, simply to keep my BMI at a good level.” 28. What does the underlined word “declared” mean? A. Doubted. B. Announced. C. Cancelled. D. Found. 29. To improve his BMI, Zhang Yanshu ________. a. ran with his dad b. didn’t eat any rice c. didn’t eat any meat d. took training classes e. practiced the exam events A. abc B. bcd C. ade D. cde 30. Which of the following is Chen Kaifei’s worry about the rule? A. It will only be helpful to thin students. B. It brings more disadvantages than advantages. C. It might make students worry about their body shape. D. It will greatly influence students’ scores in the zhongkao. 31. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Keeping fit for exams according to BMI B. Studying hard for zhongkao C. Paying attention to your food D. Learning something about BMI D Wukong, Tiangong, Tianwen…Do you know where the names of Chinese space programs come from? Wukong, the Dark Matter Particle Explorer satellite (暗物质粒子探测卫星), is named after Chinese superhero of Monkey King. According to Journey to the West, Monkey King has a pair of sharp eyes which can tell the difference between good and evil. The Wukong satellite is just as sharp-eyed as Monkey King to help scientists search for dark matter in space. The name of the space station, Tiangong, means “Heavenly Palace”. In Chinese myths, this is the home of Tian Di. Now Tiangong Space Station is a home for Chinese astronauts in space. And China welcomes foreign astronauts to Tiangong so that they can work together. Tianwen, China’s Mars missions (任务), gets its name from the poem Tianwen by Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan is a well-known poet from ancient China. In Tianwen, he had the questions about the sky, stars, nature, myths and the real world, showing his hunger for truth. Perhaps the Tianwen missions will end up answering some of Qu Yuan’s questions. If you look into more names of Chinese space programs, you will find that they all have beautiful meanings. We, the Chinese people, have a long space dream. So the naming of Chinese space programs is treated very importantly. 32. What is the Wukong satellite used for? A. Answering some of Qu Yuan’s questions. B. Finding the difference between good and evil. C. Helping scientists search for dark matter in space. D. Welcoming foreign astronauts to the space station. 33. What does the underlined word “myths” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese? A. 成语 B. 神话 C. 谚语 D. 传记 34. The name of China’s Mars missions is from ________. A. Qu Yuan’s poem Tianwen B. a Chinese traditional story C. ancient Chinese myths D. a novel called Journey to the West 35. Why do Chinese people treat naming of space programs importantly? A. Because we want to land on Mars. B. Because we have a dream for space. C. Because we want to protect the earth. D. Because we have the hunger for truth. 第二节　阅读填空(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。选项中有一项为多余选项。 When you take a personality test, you may think, “Oh, that’s me.” That’s because the descriptions are generic (通用的). ____36____ So, don’t take it too seriously. MBTI (迈尔斯-布里格斯性格分类指标) is a personality test.

However, some sports are co-ed (男女混合). Men and women are ____41____ and compete against other mixed teams. Some people say these co-ed sports provide better opportunities for female athletes, as well as ____42____ learning experiences for all players. What do you think? Should more sports teams be co-ed? Yes: Mixed teams help everyone! Co-ed sports provide an environment where gender is less important than being part of a team working toward the ____43____ goal. All athletes would learn from one another. Women’s sports have ____44____ received less support, and female athletes are paid less than male ones. Co-ed sports could give women a chance to be “seen” and win more respect. No: Separate teams have benefits. In many popular sports like football and basketball, there’s an odd (奇数的) number of athletes on the field or court. There’s no way a(n) ____45____ number of men and women could play at the same time. That would create more inequality (不平等的). Finally, men and women have very different abilities. This could create advantages and disadvantages for players and lead to injuries (伤害). 41. A. families B. teammates C. friends D. classmates 42. A. early B. practical C. valuable D. indirect 43. A. same B. serious C. similar D. successful 44.

There are so many things to ____47____, from the cost to the effects on the environment. But you may not have much time to make a decision—just imagine living without a(an) ____48____ on a hot summer’s day. In a recent ____49____, more than 95 percent of the 11, 350 participants (参与者) chose to repair a broken appliance. Only three percent chose to replace the appliance. ____50____ decision was the smarter? From my point of view, one great way of looking at the problem is to work out the current (当前的) value of your appliance. When you ____51____ a new home appliance, write down its cost and the number of years you expect it to last. Divide the cost by the number of years. This will tell you how much value the appliance ____52____ each year. When the appliance breaks down, you can quickly ____53____ its current value. If a repair costs more than the appliance’s current value, you should ____54____ the appliance. Otherwise (否则), you may consider having it repaired. According to this theory, if a washing machine breaks down when it is eight years old, you should replace it. For fridges and ovens, that number is nine. What do you think of my _____55_____? How do you decide whether to repair or replace a broken appliance? 46. A. directly B. helplessly C. immediately D. naturally 47. A. believe B. study C. consider D. ignore 48.

It ____66____ (say) that maidongxi has some connection with the five elements: jin (metal), mu (wood), shui (water), huo (fire) and tu (earth). In Chinese culture, the four ____67____ (direction) are connected with these elements. East matches wood, west matches metal, south matches fire, ____68____ north matches water.

There is no doubt that marine animals play an important role in keeping balance of nature. However, millions of marine animals die from environmental pollution and overfishing. So effective measures should be taken before things get worse. First, we need to clear the river and lake regularly. Second, laws must be made to forbid people from throwing rubbish or pouring waste water into the ocean. Third, it’s necessary for us to avoid buying products made from endangered marine animals. Let’s join our hands to protect marine animals and live in harmony with them. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
