B Little stream(小溪) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean.” she said sadly to herself. At this time, a deep voice said, “If a breeze (微风) can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “That’s because a breeze can fly, but I cannot.” “That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze, and it can take you across.” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The breeze can carry the vapor (水蒸气) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze. It carried her to the next stage of her life. The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are. 26. Where did the little stream want to reach? A. The forest. B. The ocean. C. The desert. D. The village. 27. What is paragraph 1 mainly about the little stream before getting to the desert? A. She never had any difficulties. B. She was worried about herself C. She was confident about herself. D. She knew well about the desert. 28. Why didn’t the little stream accept the desert’s advice at first? A. She wouldn’t give up what she was. B. She failed many times. C. She was afraid of the breeze. D. She wasn’t able to fly. 29. How did the little stream finally cross the dessert? A. By evaporating into the breeze. B. By forming a river. C. By disappearing into the sand. D. By changing her nature. 30. What does the story mainly tell us? A. Give up what you have. B. How to cross the desert. C. Little stream and the desert. D. Change means success. C It might be fun to use your smartphone, but be careful. Too much screen time may be harmful (有害的) to your health. First, it is bad for your eyes. A researcher called Sarah Hinkley says the problem comes from the blue light that the screen gives out. Looking at a smartphone for a long time can cause eye strain（劳损）, headaches and dry eyes. So it is a good idea to take a break every 15 minutes when you are working at a computer or using a smartphone. Second, screen use can do harm to children’s brains. A new study shows that using screens too much can affect（影响） how children’s brains grow. If children use screens for more than one hour a day, they might have lower levels of white matter in their brains. White matter is a key to the development of language and reading skills. So it is wise to cut down the time of children using all kinds of screens. Third, using screens too much will affect your sleep. According to a study, about 95% of the people between the ages of 13 and 64 use electronics before bed, especially the young people under 20. Doctors say that the light from those electronics at night may make you excited before you go to bed. Then it’s hard for you to get enough sleep. So you’d better turn off smartphones, TVs, and all other screens an hour before your bedtime. To keep healthy, doctors and researchers strongly advise that you shouldn’t use screens for long hours. 31. What can not the blue light from your screens cause? A. Eyestrain. B. Headaches. C. Dry eyes. D. Clear eyes. 32. According to the text, what is the reason for you not to sleep well? A. Taking a break every 15 minutes. B. Having lower levels of white matter. C. Using screens too much before bed. D. Being the people from 13 to 64. 33. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text? A. Using smartphones too long does harm to your eyes. B. A lot of screen time affects children’s brain growth. C. The light from electronics at night makes you excited. D. People of all ages mustn’t use electronics at any time. 34. What do “those electronics” not include? A. Tapes. B. Smartphones. C. Computers. D. TVs. 35. What is the main idea of the text? A. The ways to keep healthy. B. The harm of using screens too much. C. The ways to use screens. D. The advantages of using screens. D If you have never been to China Braille(盲文) Library(CBL) , you cannot imagine what it is like. It is open to the 17 million blind people in China. The borrowers can make phone calls, or send WeChat messages or emails(电子邮件) to the library, asking for the books they are looking for. The library then finds out these books, puts them into the mailing bag, fills in the address(地址) of the borrower on the other side of the card and waits for a postman to pick up the bag. Whenever the borrower finishes reading, he or she needs to put the books back into the bag, turn the address card around and put it into a postbox so that the books can be returned to the library. It is quite convenient(方便的) for blind people to borrow and return books. On the third floor, there are several big reading rooms with large windows. On the fifth floor, there is a museum. At the door, one can borrow earphones(耳机) to listen to recorded voices of guides who will take the listener all the way, from the historical wonders of ancient China to the history of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and ancient technological achievements. CBL also has a 20-square-meter room called “Try Darkness”. Here all the lights are turned off and the door is fully closed not to let in any light so there is nothing but darkness in this room. It helps people understand how a blind person feels. Although it takes just about 10 minutes, it feels like an hour-long journey. 36. How many ways can the borrowers ask for the books from CBL? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 37. What does the borrower need to do when finishing reading? ①find out these books. ②put the card into a postbox. ③turn the address card around. ④put the books back into the bag. ⑤wait for a postman to pick up the bag. ⑥fill in the address of the borrower. A. ①②③ B. ④③② C. ①⑤⑥ D. ③④⑤ 38. Which is TRUE about the CBL museum? A. It is on the third floor. B. It shows model planes. C. It can lend earphones. D. There’s only one guide. 39. Why are the lights turned off in the “Try Darkness”? A. To save time and money. B. To experience the blind’s feeling. C. To make it enjoyable. D. To close the door not to let in any light. 40. What can we know from the last sentence “it feels like an hour-long journey”? A. It’s easy to be in the “Try Darkness”. B. The journey in darkness is exciting. C. It takes an hour in the “Try Darkness”. D. The experience of being blind is difficult. 三、阅读理解七选五 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。(10分) How do we know about things that happened thousands of years ago when there were no videos or photos? 41 The earliest written records of Chinese culture are known as oracle bone inscriptions（甲骨文）. More than 3,000 years ago, people in the Shang Dynasty liked to ask fortune tellers (占卜师) about the future. For example, where should I go to make money or will my wife give birth to a boy or a girl? 42 The fortune teller would write the question on an oracle bone, heat it up, and then read the cracks (裂纹) in it to find an answer. Tens of thousands of oracle bones have been found so far. 43 They could also tell us the origins (起源) of Chinese thoughts and where our culture comes from. What’s more, the oracle bones are key to understanding the growth and development of the written form of the Chinese language. 44 They show us how our ancestors(祖先) created Chinese writing characters. So far, we have found about 4,500 characters but we can only understand fewer than 1,500 of them. 45 In 2017, UNESCO added oracle bone inscriptions to its Memory of the World Register (世界记忆名录). They are indeed a valuable memory of ancient China. A. Oracle bone inscriptions aren’t useful at all now. B. One possible answer may be the written records. C. There are still many unknown meanings waiting for us to find out. D. From work to love, people asked questions about lots of different topics. E. Many of the characters we use today are similar to those used 3,000 years ago. F. These bones could tell us a lot about how people lived during the Shang Dynasty. G. The oracle bones tell us the history of Chinese characters. 四、补全对话 阅读对话，从每题A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案完成对话。（5分） A: Hello, Maria! 46 B: I usually do some reading at home. A good book is like a good friend.
