Do you know what the horse-faced skirt is? Is there anyone around you wearing it? The horse-faced skirt, or mamianqun, may be the most popular traditional clothing in China this year. It is a type of hanfu, the traditional style of clothing of the Han people. It first appeared in the Song Dynasty and gained popularity during the Ming Dynasty.
Is there a horse’s face painted on the skirt? Well, the skirt is made up of three pieces. The middle one is shaped like a trapezoid (梯形). It looks like a horse’s face. Some people believe that’s how the skirt got its name. But others think the middle piece looks more like a city wall. The wall is called the horse-faced wall. They think the skirt got its name from that.
The horse-faced skirt is now getting so popular that some people wear it daily. We sometimes see young people in it taking photos in the park. While showing their own beauty they show the clothes as well. On March 6, a Douyin report showed that the order for horse-faced skirts went up by 841 percent compared to the past year. As hanfu becomes popular, traditional and modern fashions are coming together. This has influenced (影响) not only clothing styles but also people’s cultural ideas.

九、阅读短文,根据短文内容从A、B、C三个选项中选择正确答案。(共10小题,每小题2分,计20分)
A
Are you an “I” or an “E”?
MBTI (迈尔斯-布里格斯性格分类指标) is a personality test. Many people in China are crazy about it now. Some people use it to find out what they can be. “Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person?”
“I”= introverted (“I’m an ‘I’ person. I’d like to work by myself. I could be a writer in the future.”)
“E”= extroverted (“I’m an ‘E’ person. I should go to the party and make more friends.”)
What type of people are you?
In the MBTI test, there are 16 personality types. Let’s take a look at some of them.
◆Architect
They like to find the rules behind everything they see. They can be architects, artists and TV and film writers.
◆Performer
They like to have fun with things around them: food, clothes, and people. They can be actors and teachers.
◆Inventor
They are clever. They like to deal with new problems. They can be writers and lawyers.
◆Protector
They are warm-hearted. They like to protect others. They can be doctors and nurses.
Even if someone is typically quiet, many online discussions suggest that an “I” person can still act outgoing at times. For example, when an introverted person is with a group of introverted friends, they might become more social like an “E” person.
So, just take the test for fun. Knowing someone’s MBTI result doesn’t mean you really know this person. And those four letters of yours don’t define (定义) who you are.
36. What does the underlined word “it” mean?
A. The MBTI test. B. The “I” people. C. The “E” people.
37. If you are a person who likes to protect others, who can you be?
A. B. C.
38. What does the author say about “I” people in the article?
A. They are always quiet.
B. They can act outgoing at times.
C. They are outgoing in all situations.
39. Why do people take the MBTI test?
A. To find the rules behind everything.
B. To learn something to protect others.
C. To find out their own personalities.
40. Which of the following is True about the MBTI test?
A. It is a necessary test for everyone to take.
B. It can be fun but should not define a person.
C. It is a very good way to understand a person.
【答案】36. A 37. C 38. B 39. C 40. B
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了MBTI性格测试。
【36题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“MBTI (迈尔斯-布里格斯性格分类指标) is a personality test. Many people in China are crazy about it now. Some people use it to find out what they can be.”可知,一些人用MBTI测试来弄清楚自己可以成为什么样的人。划线单词“it”指代的是“MBTI测试”。故选A。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据◆Protector的内容“They are warm-hearted. They like to protect others. They can be doctors and nurses.”可知,如果你是一个喜欢保护别人的人,那么你可以成为医生或护士。故选C。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Even if someone is typically quiet, many online discussions suggest that an ‘I’ person can still act outgoing at times.”可知,“I”人有时仍然可以表现得外向。故选B。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据“MBTI (迈尔斯-布里格斯性格分类指标) is a personality test.”可知,MBTI是一种性格测试,所以人们参加MBTI测试,应是为了弄清楚自己的性格。故选C。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据“So, just take the test for fun. Knowing someone’s MBTI result doesn’t mean you really know this person. And those four letters of yours don’t define (定义) who you are.”可知,参加MBTI测试只是为了好玩,且知道某人的MBTI测试结果并不意味着你真的了解这个人,那四个字母并不能定义你是谁。即MBTI测试是有趣的,但并不能以其测试结果来定义一个人。故选B。

Plants “talk”
Scientists have known for years that plants react (反应) to sounds around them. But now some scientists have shown that plants also seem to be doing some “talking”.
Professor Hadany and her team set up microphones to record tomato plants under different situations. The result showed that the plants made ultrasonic sounds (超声波). ___71___
As the scientists studied the sounds, they notice the regularity (规律性). Plants hardly clicked (发出咔哒声) when they had enough water. ___72___
When scientists cut off a stem from the plants, the plants also clicked more . ___73___ The result suggests that researchers may one day be able to use a plant’s sounds to find out when it is having trouble, and what trouble it is having. That could be very helpful to farmers.
The other research has shown that plants also make sounds to communicate in some ways. When small animals on the plant attack (攻击) a plant, it will give a warning to its neighbors. ___74___ It’s a useful way for plants to protect themselves.
Then here is a question: Is anything listening to the plants? Dr. Hadany point s out that mice who live on plants can hear the sounds. The clicks may tell them whether a plant has problems. ___75___
As Dr. Hadany says, “Even in a quiet field, there are actually sounds that we don’t hear, and those sounds carry information. The team’s research has already changed our ideas about plants.”
A. If the plant isn’t healthy, they will stay away from it.
B. But as their earth got drier, they began to click.

F. When the researchers changed the sounds into ones that humans could hear, they heard clicking noises.
【答案】71. F 72. B 73. D 74. E 75. A
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了一些科学家已经证明,植物似乎也在“说话”。
【71题详解】
根据“The result showed that the plants made ultrasonic sounds (超声波).”和“As the scientists studied the sounds, they notice the regularity (规律性).”可知,此处表示能把植物的超声波转变成声音,F项“当研究人员将声音转换成人类能听到的声音时,他们听到了咔哒声。”符合语境,故选F。
【72题详解】
根据“Plants hardly clicked (发出咔哒声) when they had enough water.”可知,当有足够的水时,植物几乎不发出声音,因此干旱时,它们会发出声音,B项“但随着地球变得越来越干燥,它们开始发出咔嚓声。”符合语境,故选B。
【73题详解】
根据“The result suggests that researchers may one day be able to use a plant’s sounds to find out when it is having trouble, and what trouble it is having.”可知,研究结果表明,研究人员也许有一天能够利用植物的声音来发现它什么时候出了问题,以及它出了什么问题,因此植物有不同的问题时,会发出不一样的声音。D项“但是当植物需要水的时候,这种咔哒声是不一样的。”符合语境,故选D。
【74题详解】
根据“When small animals on the plant attack (攻击) a plant, it will give a warning to its neighbors.”可知,当植物上的小动物攻击植物时,它会向它的邻居发出警告,因此附近的植物就会想办法保护自己。E项“很快,附近的植物开始制造对它们来说味道不好的化学物质。”符合语境,故选E。
【75题详解】
根据“Dr. Hadany point s out that mice who live on plants can hear the sounds. The clicks may tell them whether a plant has problems.”可知,以植物为食的老鼠能听懂植物发出的声音,因此如果植物有问题,它们会远离这些植物,A项“如果植物不健康,他们就会远离它。”符合语境,故选A。
B.完成表格。 (共5小题,每小题1分;计5分)
阅读下面短文, 完成题后的表格。
Stress Before a Test
Many people experience stress before an exam. Actually, a little nervousness can help you perform your best. However, when this stress becomes so excessive (过度的) that it really influences performance on an exam, it is known as test stress.
There are a few causes of test stress.
● Fear of failure. If you care too much about your scores, the pressure car cause test stress.
● Poor testing history. If you have done poorly on tests before, either because you don’t study well enough or because you are so stressed, you can’t remember the answers easily.
●Unpreparedness. If you don’t work hard enough, this can add to your feeling of stress.
Does exam stress influence your grades? If so, I’ll share with you a scientific tip to help overcome it. —Clear your room and your desk.
Have you heard the saying “A cluttered (杂乱的) desk is a sign of a cluttered mind?” It’s scientifically correct.
More clutter around your work space makes it more difficult to be able to focus on preparing for the exam. This is because physical clutter weakens your ability to think. So you need to clear your desk and your room. Do the following to get organized.
● Reduce as much clutter as you can around your work space. Throw away anything that doesn’t need to be there, e. g. photos, snacks.
● Use drawers. Store things away in your drawers. The only things you should have on your desk are the tools and books you need.
● Clean your space. Since you’ve cleared your space, give your desk and room a good clean.
I believe that if you follow my tips, you’ll become a calmer and more successful student.

【答案】76. stand##bear##deal with
77 have difficulty##have trouble##have problems
78. more difficultly
79. How 80. action##practice
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了考试压力的原因,并针对改善考试压力提供了相关的建议。
【76题详解】
根据“However, when this stress becomes so excessive (过度的) that it really influences performance on an exam, it is known as test stress.”可知,当这种压力变得如此之大时,它真的影响了考试的表现,它被称为考试压力。即你忍受不了这种压力了,你就会体验这种压力。结合空缺处,前面有情态动词can,需要填入一个动词原形,表示bear/stand/deal with“忍受”。故填bear/stand/deal with。
【77题详解】
根据“If you have done poorly on tests before, either because you don’t study well enough o r because you are so stressed. you can’t remember the answers easily.“可知,如果你以前的考试成绩很差,要么是因为你学习不够好,要么是因为你压力太大,你就不能轻易记住答案。即以前考试方面比较差会让你在记住答案方面有困难,需要用固定搭配have difficulty/trouble/problems doing sth.表示“在做某事方面有困难”,时态是一般现在时,主语是you,所以填入have trouble/have difficulty/have problems。故填have difficulty/have trouble/have problems。
【78题详解】
根据“More clutter around your work space makes it more difficult to be able to focus on preparing for the exam.”可知,工作场所越杂乱,你就越难以集中精力准备考试。即the+比较级,the+比较级“越……越……”,此处修饰动词用副词more difficultly“更困难地”。故填more difficultly。
【79题详解】
根据表格“Take unnecessary things away.◆Store thin gs away in your drawers.◆Clean your desk a nd room.”可知,这些是建议,又因为上一个表格“Why”,故这里需用特殊疑问词表达,即How。故填How。
【80题详解】
根据最后一段“I believe that if you follow my tips, you’ll become a calmer and more successful student.”可知,记住这些建议并付诸实际行动,你会成为一个更冷静、更成功的学生,put sth. into action/practice“把……付出实践”。故填action/practice。

Do you know what the horse-faced skirt is? Is there anyone around you wearing it? The horse-faced skirt, or mamianqun, may be the most popular traditional clothing in China this year. It is a type of hanfu, the traditional style of clothing of the Han people. It first appeared in the Song Dynasty and gained popularity during the Ming Dynasty.
Is there a horse’s face painted on the skirt? Well, the skirt is made up of three pieces. The middle one is shaped like a trapezoid (梯形). It looks like a horse’s face. Some people believe that’s how the skirt got its name. But others think the middle piece looks more like a city wall. The wall is called the horse-faced wall. They think the skirt got its name from that.
The horse-faced skirt is now getting so popular that some people wear it daily. We sometimes see young people in it taking photos in the park. While showing their own beauty, they show the clothes as well. On March 6, a Douyin report showed that the order for horse-faced skirts went up by 841 percent compared to the past year. As hanfu becomes popular, traditional and modern fashions are coming together. This has influenced (影响) not only clothing styles but also people’s cultural ideas.
31. Mamianqun is a type of traditional clothing which comes from the Han Dynasty in China.
32. Mamianqun is made up of three pieces, with the middle piece shaped like a trapezoid.
33. The popularity of the Mamianqun increased a lot this year according to a Douyin report.
34. There are different answers about why the horse-faced skirt got its name.
35. Manmianqun is popular among people because it only changes their clothing style.
九、阅读短文,根据短文内容从A、B、C三个选项中选择正确答案。(共10小题,每小题2分,计20分)
A
Are you an “I” or an “E”?
MBTI (迈尔斯-布里格斯性格分类指标) is a personality test. Many people in China are crazy about it now. Some people use it to find out what they can be. “Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person?”
“I”= introverted (“I’m an ‘I’ person. I’d like to work by myself. I could be a writer in the future.”)
“E”= extroverted (“I’m an ‘E’ person. I should go to the party and make more friends.”)
What type of people are you?
In the MBTI test, there are 16 personality types. Let’s take a look at some of them.
◆Architect
They like to find the rules behind everything they see. They can be architects, artists and TV and film writers.
◆Performer
They like to have fun with things around them: food, clothes, and people. They can be actors and teachers.
◆Inventor
They are clever. They like to deal with new problems. They can be writers and lawyers.
◆Protector
They are warm-hearted. They like to protect others. They can be doctors and nurses.
Even if someone is typically quiet, many online discussions suggest that an “I” person can still act outgoing at times. For example, when an introverted person is with a group of introverted friends, they might become more social like an “E” person.
So, just take the test for fun. Knowing someone’s MBTI result doesn’t mean you really know this person. And those four letters of yours don’t define (定义) who you are.
36. What does the underlined word “it” mean?
A. The MBTI test. B. The “I” people. C. The “E” people.

C. To find out their own personalities.
40. Which of the following is True about the MBTI test?
A. It is a necessary test for everyone to take.
B. It can be fun but should not define a person.

Plants “talk”
Scientists have known for years that plants react (反应) to sounds around them. But now some scientists have shown that plants also seem to be doing some “talking”.

As the scientists studied the sounds, they notice the regularity (规律性). Plants hardly clicked (发出咔哒声) when they had enough water. ___72___

The other research has shown that plants also make sounds to communicate in some ways. When small animals on the plant attack (攻击) a plant, it will give a warning to its neighbors. ___74___ It’s a useful way for plants to protect themselves.
Then here is a question: Is anything listening to the plants? Dr. Hadany point s out that mice who live on plants can hear the sounds. The clicks may tell them whether a plant has problems. ___75___
As Dr. Hadany says, “Even in a quiet field, there are actually sounds that we don’t hear, and those sounds carry information. The team’s research has already changed our ideas about plants.”

Stress Before a Test
Many people experience stress before an exam. Actually, a little nervousness can help you perform your best. However, when this stress becomes so excessive (过度的) that it really influences performance on an exam, it is known as test stress.
There are a few causes of test stress.
● Fear of failure. If you care too much about your scores, the pressure car cause test stress.
● Poor testing history. If you have done poorly on tests before, either because you don’t study well enough or because you are so stressed, you can’t remember the answers easily.
●Unpreparedness. If you don’t work hard enough, this can add to your feeling of stress.
Does exam stress influence your grades? If so, I’ll share with you a scientific tip to help overcome it. —Clear your room and your desk.
Have you heard the saying “A cluttered (杂乱的) desk is a sign of a cluttered mind?” It’s scientifically correct.
More clutter around your work space makes it more difficult to be able to focus on preparing for the exam. This is because physical clutter weakens your ability to think. So you need to clear your desk and your room. Do the following to get organized.
● Reduce as much clutter as you can around your work space. Throw away anything that doesn’t need to be there, e. g. photos, snacks.
● Use drawers. Store things away in your drawers. The only things you should have on your desk are the tools and books you need.
● Clean your space. Since you’ve cleared your space, give your desk and room a good clean.
I believe that if you follow my tips, you’ll become a calmer and more successful student.
