Their house had only four walls, a floor and a small space under the floor to protect them from powerful winds. The house was in the middle of poor land with strong sunlight and few plants. Aunt Em used to be young and cheerful, but the sun and wind had taken away her happiness. Uncle Henry also looked serious and strict. Only Toto, a little black dog with shiny hair and bright eyes, could bring laughter into Dorothy’s life. One day, they heard low sounds of wind from both the north and the south. Uncle Henry realized a strong wind was coming. He rushed to protect the animals while Aunt Em hurried Dorothy to the basement. Suddenly, the house began to rock and rise to the air. In the center, the wind blew loudly, but Dorothy found herself riding safely on the rising house. Frightened, Toto ran around the room until Dorothy caught him and protected him from falling through the open door. She closed it carefully to avoid further danger. As hours passed, Dorothy slowly got over her fear. She finally fell asleep on her bed with Toto by her side. The wind had set Dorothy’s house down gently in a beautiful country. As she looked around, she saw green grass, fruitful trees, and colourful flowers.Birds with special feathers sang and flew around.As she stood enjoying the beautiful views, a group of strangely dressed people came near. They wore round hats that rose to a small point a foot above their heads. Three men were dressed in blue, and a little woman wore a white dress. They stopped and discussed in a low voice, as if afraid to come farther. 1. How does the writer begin the story? A. By showing a saying. B. By giving some numbers. C. By introducing the family. D. By describing the landscape. 2. Who could make Dorothy happy? A. Toto. B. Uncle Henry. C. Aunt Em. D. Both her aunt and uncle. 3. What happened when the wind came in paragraph 2? A. Aunt Em quickly brought Toto to the basement. B. Dorothy went to help Uncle Henry with the animals. C. Toto noticed the wind and barked to tell Uncle Henry. D. The house went up after Dorothy got into the basement. 4. What does the underlined phrase “got over” mean in paragraph 3? A. Noticed. B. Controlled. C. Influenced. D. Experienced. 5. What can we infer from paragraph 4? A. There was no wind in the new place. B. People lived happily in the new place. C. Dorothy was unusual to the group of people. D.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文节选自《绿野仙踪》，主要讲述了飓风来临时，多萝西家房子被飓风带走，她和她的狗落到了一个新地方。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Dorothy lived with her uncle Henry and aunt Em who were both farmers.”可知，此处是介绍了多萝茜的家庭，包括他们的房子、爱姆婶婶和亨利叔叔的性格以及她的狗，为整个故事发展做出了铺垫，因而作者是通过介绍家庭展开的整个故事。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Only Toto, a little black dog with shiny hair and bright eyes, could bring laughter into Dorothy’s life.”可知，能给多萝茜的生活带来欢笑是小黑狗托托。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He rushed to protect the animals while Aunt Em hurried Dorothy to the basement. Suddenly, the house began to rock and rise to the air. In the center, the wind blew loudly, but Dorothy found herself riding safely on the rising house.”可知，多萝西进入地下室后，房子就上升了。故选D。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“As hours passed, Dorothy slowly got over her fear. She finally fell asleep on her bed with Toto by her side.”可知，她应是“控制住了”恐惧，因而在床上睡着了。got over应和Controlled意义相近。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知当她站在那里欣赏美丽的景色时，一群穿着奇怪的人走了过来。他们戴着圆帽子，帽子在头顶上方一英尺的地方变成了一个小尖。三个男人穿着蓝色的衣服，一个小女人穿着白色的裙子。他们停了下来，低声商量着，好像不敢再往前走。由此可推断，新地方的人穿着很奇怪，而且看到她不敢再往前走，说明多萝西对这群人来说是不寻常的。故选C。 B “It’s a waste of time,” I said when my mom told me to join Madcaps, a mothers and daughters club that helps charities (慈善机构). When she told me I had to volunteer at a homeless shelter, I thought that things could not get worse. We got there late and walked to the dirty homeless shelter, where we saw a lady shouting at the security guard (保安人员). He dealt with her and then led us to the kitchen, where we ran into our five fellow Madcaps mothers and daughters. Then homeless people started to walk in and a little girl, around 5 years old, walked up and pointed to the food I was handing out. I handed her a cold sandwich and she nodded to say thanks. She then walked over to her parents, who were seated at a large table. As she walked away, I thought about how much I had. I go to one of the top schools in San Diego, I have a great house by the water, and I have a warm meal every night. Then I thought of how little she had. She probably didn’t go to school, and this is where she sleeps and eats every day. It took that little girl to make me realize just how lucky I am. After that moment, I had a change of heart. Now, I love Madcaps and don’t miss one meeting. I have become easy-going and now have many friends in the club. I believe that if you have an open mind about things, you can learn a lot about yourself and the people in your community. You can make new friends and realize just how lucky you are. I believe you can make a difference just by doing something that you don’t want to do. 6. What is Madcaps? A. It’s a club that helps charities. B. It’s a homeless shelter. C.

More than 1,000 dancers from 15 Yingge Dance teams participated, making it a big cultural event for the city. Yingge Dance, or“Dance to the Hero’s Song”, is a type of folk dance with a history of more than 300 years. It is popular in Chaoshan region in the east of Guangdong Province and a few parts of Hong Kong, China. Combining dancing, Chinese martial arts, and Chinese opera, Yingge Dance has been listed as a national-level intangible (非物质的) cultural heritage in China. It’s said that this traditional dance developed from the Nuo Opera (傩戏) performed to drive away evil spirits, welcome the spring, and pray for good luck. While ancient Nuo Opera tells stories from different folk tales, Yingge Dance is based on the adventures of the “108 Heroes” of Liangshan Mountain, best known from the classic novel The Water Margin《水浒传》. During festivals and celebrations, Yingge dancers, each holding short sticks, dress in colorful costumes, jump up and down, and use props like masks, snakes, and drums to enhance their performances. In London’s Burlington Arcade, during the Chinese New Year, a team from Pu’ning, Jieyang, put on an impressive show. Anna, a Londoner who attended with her son, was thrilled and interested in joining future Chinese New Year celebrations. Her son’s growing interest in Chinese traditions has led him to study the Chinese language. Chen Laifa, the coach of the Yingge Dance team, wants to show Yingge Dance globally. After a month of busy training, the team, consisting of experienced members with over 15 years of performance, was well-prepared for their international performance. 11. What’s the main purpose of the Yingge Dance Show Parade mentioned in the beginning? A. To show some new modern dancing skills. B. To share a new type of celebrating activity. C.

A 【解析】 【原文】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一种国家级非物质文化遗产——英歌舞。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据下文可知，接下来介绍了英歌舞的历史、起源等，可推断第一段提及春节英歌舞巡演是为了引出文章的主题——英歌舞，故选C。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据“It’s said that this traditional dance developed from the Nuo Opera, performed to drive away evil spirits, welcome the spring, and pray for good luck.”可知，跳英歌舞是为了驱鬼怪、迎新春、求好运的，而C选项“跳英歌舞是为了迎新春、迎好运、迎魔鬼”不符合题意，故选C。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“interested in joining future Chinese New Year celebrations”可知，安娜这个伦敦人对中国的新年庆典也很感兴趣，B选项“激动的”符合文意，故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Chen Laifa, the coach of the Yingge Dance team, wants to show Yingge Dance globally.”可知，他想要在全世界范围内展示英歌舞，B选项“让它在国际上流行起来”符合文意，故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章介绍了国家级非物质文化遗产英歌舞，属于文化的范畴，故选A。 D Stop wasting food!

When she told me I had to volunteer at a homeless shelter, I thought that things could not get worse. We got there late and walked to the dirty homeless shelter, where we saw a lady shouting at the security guard (保安人员). He dealt with her and then led us to the kitchen, where we ran into our five fellow Madcaps mothers and daughters. Then homeless people started to walk in and a little girl, around 5 years old, walked up and pointed to the food I was handing out. I handed her a cold sandwich and she nodded to say thanks. She then walked over to her parents, who were seated at a large table. As she walked away, I thought about how much I had. I go to one of the top schools in San Diego, I have a great house by the water, and I have a warm meal every night. Then I thought of how little she had. She probably didn’t go to school, and this is where she sleeps and eats every day. It took that little girl to make me realize just how lucky I am. After that moment, I had a change of heart. Now, I love Madcaps and don’t miss one meeting. I have become easy-going and now have many friends in the club.

More than 1,000 dancers from 15 Yingge Dance teams participated, making it a big cultural event for the city. Yingge Dance, or“Dance to the Hero’s Song”, is a type of folk dance with a history of more than 300 years. It is popular in Chaoshan region in the east of Guangdong Province and a few parts of Hong Kong, China. Combining dancing, Chinese martial arts, and Chinese opera, Yingge Dance has been listed as a national-level intangible (非物质) cultural heritage in China. It’s said that this traditional dance developed from the Nuo Opera (傩戏) performed to drive away evil spirits, welcome the spring, and pray for good luck. While ancient Nuo Opera tells stories from different folk tales, Yingge Dance is based on the adventures of the “108 Heroes” of Liangshan Mountain, best known from the classic novel The Water Margin《水浒传》. During festivals and celebrations, Yingge dancers, each holding short sticks, dress in colorful costumes, jump up and down, and use props like masks, snakes, and drums to enhance their performances. In London’s Burlington Arcade, during the Chinese New Year, a team from Pu’ning, Jieyang, put on an impressive show. Anna, a Londoner who attended with her son, was thrilled and interested in joining future Chinese New Year celebrations. Her son’s growing interest in Chinese traditions has led him to study the Chinese language. Chen Laifa, the coach of the Yingge Dance team, wants to show Yingge Dance globally. After a month of busy training, the team, consisting of experienced members with over 15 years of performance, was well-prepared for their international performance. 11. What’s the main purpose of the Yingge Dance Show Parade mentioned in the beginning? A. To show some new modern dancing skills. B. To share a new type of celebrating activity. C.
