Her mom had often told Mary the bad result of being so careless. The growing habit of carelessness would make her unhappy, and sometimes annoy her friends. Even worse, it would be of great harm to her all her life. But Mary didn’t listen to her mom. So they argued a lot. One day, Mary made a beautiful toy, a gift for her best friend’s birthday. When her mom asked her to go out into their yard to play, Mary put the toy in her room casually（不经意地）. She ran around and played happily there. An hour later, it was time to go to her friend’s birthday party. Mary went back to get the toy. But she couldn’t find it anywhere. Finally, she found the toy broken in the corner. At once she realized that Dash, her pet dog had done this, and she was very angry. Carrying the broken toy to her mom, she couldn’t help crying. Mrs. Armstrong asked Mary if she had left the toy in the place where Dash could easily get it, and Mary answered, “Yes, mom.” “Then you should not be irritated Mary, because the dog does not know it is wrong to play with your toy. I hope this will be a lesson to you hereafter, to put your things away when you finish.” “I will try,” said Mary. And her mom promised to repair the toy as well as she could. 16.

The seed in Yuan’s heart finally sprouted! Yuan’s rice is grown worldwide. Yuan, however, always wanted his rice to be more and more productive(多产的). Even in his 90s, the “Father of Hybrid Rice” was busy doing research. Yuan passed away at the age of 91.

You also have to wait at the airport, and sometimes you have to transfer (换乘) onto a different airplane. If you add all of that extra time, the trip takes at least 20 hours. But in the future, the trip from New York to Beijing might only take two hours. Right now, a company is developing something called ET3, which stands for “evacuated tube (真空管) transport technology (技术)”. Here’s how it works. A tube goes all the way from New York to Beijing. The tube is only a few meters wide. Capsules (舱) move through the tube. Six people can sit in one capsule. The capsules use electricity instead of oil. For international travel, the capsules can travel at about 6,500 kilometers per hour. That’s much faster than airplanes—most modern airplanes usually only fly at about 800 kilometers per hour. So how is this possible? How can these capsules travel so fast? The answer is that there is no air inside the tube. When airplanes fly, they have to move through air. The air slows the airplanes down. Because there isn’t any air in the ET3 tubes, the capsules are able to move at a very high speed. Also, the capsules are quite light. Each only weighs 183 kilograms. There are other advantages to ET3. Because it uses electricity, it’s quite clean. Also, it’s a lot quieter than airplanes and cars. Finally, ET3 tubes and capsules don’t require very much building materials. Of course, ET3 doesn’t come into use yet. The technology is still being developed. Developers still have to solve a lot of problems. The biggest problem is that right now ET3 would be far too expensive. In order to make ET3 cheaper, we will need much better technology. It’s exciting to think of how ET3 will change the travel in the future. Who knows? Maybe someday you’ll be able to have lunch in New York and dinner in Beijing. 26. According to the passage, an ET3 looks more like a ________. A. ship B. bus C. plane D. subway train (地铁列车) 27. ET3 travels at the very high speed because ________. A. it is powered by electricity and oil B. it is much lighter than an airplane C. it moves through a tube without air D. it is made up of fewer capsules 28. What is a problem with ET3? A. Right now it is too expensive. B. We don’t know what the best building material is. C. It is far too loud. D. Most people in Beijing don’t want to use ET3. 29. Which statement is true? A People are already using ET3 to travel. B. There is no air in ET3 tubes. C. ET3 capsules might travel at 650,000 kilometers per hour. D. Right now, a flight from New York to Beijing takes about six hours. 30. From the passage, the writer expects that ________. A. modern technology will be used in airplanes B. ET3 will take the place of any other way of transportation C. more money will be spent on the technology of ET3 D. ET3 will change the travel in the future greatly 【答案】26. D 27. C 28. A 29. B 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了ET3，即“真空管传输技术”是如何工作的。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Here’s how it works. A tube goes all the way from New York to Beijing. The tube is only a few meters wide. Capsules (舱) move through the tube. Six people can sit in one capsule.”可推知，ET3更像地铁。故选D。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“So how is this possible? How can these capsules travel so fast? The answer is that there is no air inside the tube.”可知，因为它在没有空气的管子里移动，所以它可以达到一个非常高的速度。故选C。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The biggest problem is that right now ET3 would be far too expensive.”可知，目前最大的问题是，ET3太贵了。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The answer is that there is no air inside the tube.”可知，ET3管内没有空气。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据“It’s exciting to think of how ET3 will change the travel in the future. Who knows? Maybe someday you’ll be able to have lunch in New York and dinner in Beijing.”可推知，作者很期待ET3会改变未来的旅行。故选D。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共55分） 四、听力填表。 录音中有一篇短文，听录音两遍后，根据所听到的内容完成下面的表格（每空不多于三个词）。（共5个小题，计5分） The important things in a friendship 40% say A good friend is like a ________.

It is considered the start of spring and farming. After the cold winter, spring comes and animals are awake, but because of the winter, the weather is dry and farming needs water. The story goes that after this day, the Dragon King who controls clouds and rains would wake from his winter sleep and bring rainfall for the crops. It is said that after that day there will be more and more rain. On that day, there are lots of traditional celebration activities. First, in the early morning when it’s still dark, families go to a river or a well with lanterns to get water and then carry it back home. Then they light candles, burn incense sticks (香柱) and offer a sacrifice (祭品). This ritual (仪式) is named Yintianlong (lead the field dragon). 3.People believe the actions can bring wealth (财富) and health to their homes. The most well-known tradition on the day is having a haircut. It’s a sign of good luck and energy in the whole year. However, it is very bad luck to get a haircut during the first lunar month. Eating “dragon” food is another important part of celebrations. 4.Chinese are best at connecting certain food with luck, so food eaten on this day also gets special names. Noodles which are long and thin are called “dragon beard (long xu).” Dumplings are called “dragon ears (long er).” Spring rolls are “dragon scales (long lin)”, and people call popcorn “dragon seeds (long zi)”. Those celebration activities may be different in the south and the north, and some activities are remained to nowadays, while some are just kept in the past. But the wish for a good year ahead is the same despite the change of time or space. 1—2题根据短文内容简要回答问题；3—4题将短文中划线的句子翻译成汉语；5题请给短文拟一个恰当的题目。 51.

Her mom had often told Mary the bad result of being so careless. The growing habit of carelessness would make her unhappy, and sometimes annoy her friends. Even worse, it would be of great harm to her all her life. But Mary didn’t listen to her mom. So they argued a lot. One day, Mary made a beautiful toy, a gift for her best friend’s birthday. When her mom asked her to go out into their yard to play, Mary put the toy in her room casually（不经意地）. She ran around and played happily there. An hour later, it was time to go to her friend’s birthday party. Mary went back to get the toy. But she couldn’t find it anywhere. Finally, she found the toy broken in the corner. At once she realized that Dash, her pet dog had done this, and she was very angry. Carrying the broken toy to her mom, she couldn’t help crying. Mrs. Armstrong asked Mary if she had left the toy in the place where Dash could easily get it, and Mary answered, “Yes, mom.” “Then you should not be irritated, Mary, because the dog does not know it is wrong to play with your toy. I hope this will be a lesson to you hereafter, to put your things away when you finish.” “I will try,” said Mary. And her mom promised to repair the toy as well as she could. 16.

Yuan Longping felt heartbroken about this when he was young. He wanted to grow enough rice to feed everybody. This dream became a seed in Yuan’s heart. After he finished high school, he decided to study agriculture(农业). In 1960, as an agricultural researcher(研究人员), Yuan came up with the idea for hybrid rice(杂交水稻). After years of hard work, in 1973, he developed(开发) the world’s first high-yield hybrid rice. It was an exciting piece of news. With this rice, more than 70 million people could be fed each year. The seed in Yuan’s heart finally sprouted! Yuan’s rice is grown worldwide. Yuan, however, always wanted his rice to be more and more productive(多产的). Even in his 90s, the “Father of Hybrid Rice” was busy doing research. Yuan passed away at the age of 91. He spent his life helping lift the nation out of hunger, and his invention will keep feeding the world. People will never forget this good “seed” in the rice field. 21. Yuan Longping felt very sad when he realized people ________. A. were hungry B. had illnesses C. felt heartbroken D. got few seeds 22. What does “This dream” refer to (指代) in Paragraph 1? A. Keeping people healthy. B. Finishing his study. C. Growing enough rice. D. Studying in a good school. 23. How many years did Yuan Longping spend finishing the first hybrid rice? A. Less than 2 years. B. More than 10 years. C. Less than 8 years. D. More than 30 years. 24. The third paragraph mainly tells us Yuan Longping ________. A. were too busy to have a rest. B. liked to be busy every day C. wanted others to grow rice D. never gave up his dream 25. What would be the best title for the text? A. People Need More Good Seeds B. A Good “Seed” in the Rice Field C. Good Rice Need Good Seeds D. A Long History of Hybrid Rice D Travel in the Future These days, if you want to travel from New York to Beijing, the flight (航班) takes about 16 hours. You also have to wait at the airport, and sometimes you have to transfer (换乘) onto a different airplane. If you add all of that extra time, the trip takes at least 20 hours. But in the future, the trip from New York to Beijing might only take two hours. Right now, a company is developing something called ET3, which stands for “evacuated tube (真空管) transport technology (技术)”. Here’s how it works. A tube goes all the way from New York to Beijing. The tube is only a few meters wide. Capsules (舱) move through the tube. Six people can sit in one capsule. The capsules use electricity instead of oil. For international travel, the capsules can travel at about 6,500 kilometers per hour. That’s much faster than airplanes—most modern airplanes usually only fly at about 800 kilometers per hour. So how is this possible? How can these capsules travel so fast? The answer is that there is no air inside the tube. When airplanes fly, they have to move through air. The air slows the airplanes down. Because there isn’t any air in the ET3 tubes, the capsules are able to move at a very high speed. Also, the capsules are quite light. Each only weighs 183 kilograms. There are other advantages to ET3. Because it uses electricity, it’s quite clean. Also, it’s a lot quieter than airplanes and cars. Finally, ET3 tubes and capsules don’t require very much building materials. Of course, ET3 doesn’t come into use yet. The technology is still being developed. Developers still have to solve a lot of problems. The biggest problem is that right now ET3 would be far too expensive. In order to make ET3 cheaper, we will need much better technology. It’s exciting to think of how ET3 will change the travel in the future. Who knows? Maybe someday you’ll be able to have lunch in New York and dinner in Beijing. 26. According to the passage, an ET3 looks more like a ________. A. ship B. bus C. plane D. subway train (地铁列车) 27. ET3 travels at the very high speed because ________. A. it is powered by electricity and oil B. it is much lighter than an airplane C. it moves through a tube without air D. it is made up of fewer capsules 28. What is a problem with ET3? A. Right now it is too expensive. B. We don’t know what the best building material is. C. It is far too loud. D. Most people in Beijing don’t want to use ET3. 29. Which statement is true? A. People are already using ET3 to travel. B. There is no air in ET3 tubes. C. ET3 capsules might travel at 650,000 kilometers per hour. D. Right now, a flight from New York to Beijing takes about six hours. 30. From the passage, the writer expects that ________. A. modern technology will be used in airplanes B. ET3 will take the place of any other way of transportation C. more money will be spent on the technology of ET3 D. ET3 will change the travel in the future greatly 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共55分） 四、听力填表。 录音中有一篇短文，听录音两遍后，根据所听到的内容完成下面的表格（每空不多于三个词）。（共5个小题，计5分） The important things in a friendship 40% say A good friend is like a ________.
