All of us kids would be sent out to the front yard to play. Those were the days before video games and smartphones, so we often ended up playing a good old-fashioned game of tag (捉人).

Evans’ eyes hurt and this made studying difficult. It was common in his village. Many children left school for this reason, so they remained poor for the rest of their lives. Although studying was difficult, Evans was an excellent student and went to a university. He continued to worry about the kerosene lamp. By this time, he realized it was not just bad for schoolchildren but for the whole family. First, it can cause illnesses such as coughs. Also, the light can hurt people’s eyes. Besides, it can lead to fires. Lastly, kerosene is expensive, so families have less money for food. It was difficult to come up with a different kind of lamp that was cheap and good for the environment. Yet Evans did not give up. One day, he had an idea. He could use a small solar（太阳能的）light. Sunlight is free and solar power is good for the environment. Evans built his first solar lamp, and it worked. He began to build more lamps and sent them to local families. An organization heard about this and provided money for him to build more solar lamps. Each lamp only cost $20. However, this was a lot of money to many villagers, who only earned around $34 a week, so Evans made sure he kept the cost down. First, Evans used recycled materials. Next, volunteers built the lamps. Finally, people from many countries gave away money to his team, so the lamps were usually free. Thousands of people had safe light. Julia, a mother of three, said, “Thanks to Evans, my children have light to read, and I have my own light to cook.” The solar lamps made a big difference. 43. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Leaving school. B. Doing homework. C. Having eye problems. D. Having a bright idea. 44. How many problems about kerosene lamps are mentioned according to Paragraph 2? A. 6. B. 5. C. 4. D. 3. 45. Put the following information into correct order according to the passage. a. Evans went to a university. b. Thousands of people had safe light. c. His first solar lamp was invented. d. Kerosene lamps hurt Evans’ eyes. e. Recycled materials were used in the lamps. f. People from many countries gave away money. A. d-a-c-e-f-b B. d-f-b-a-e-c C. a-d-f-e-c-b D. a-e-c-d-f-b 46. Why does the writer give Julia’s example in Paragraph 5? A. To share Julia’s experience. B. To show Evans’ influence. C. To describe Evans’ feelings. D. To introduce Evans’ invention. 47. What is Evans like according to the passage? A. Polite, talented and humorous. B. Quiet, smart and honest. C. Humorous, clever and friendly. D. Hard-working, loving and creative. D Mosquitoes (蚊子) see red when they look at your skin (皮肤), and then they will give you a bite (咬), according to the new research. It shows that these insects usually find certain colors more attractive. The study means that you can choose what to wear to stop you from being bitten, but there’s little you can do about your skin. This is because everyone’s skin gives off a strong red signal (信号). “I used to say there were three main things that drew mosquitoes’ attention—our breath, sweat (汗水) and the temperature of our skin,” said Jeffrey Riffell, a researcher of the study. “In this study, we found a fourth one: the color red. It can be found not only on your clothes, but also in everyone’s skin. The skin is giving off a strong red signal no matter whether its color is light or dark.” Researchers found that when mosquitoes find CO2 from our breath, then they look for certain colors—including red, orange and black—to find their meal. “Mosquitoes seem to use smells (气味) to help them know what’s nearby,” Riffell said. “Imagine you’re on a street and you smell cake,” Riffell said. “That’s probably a sign that there’s a cake shop nearby, and you might start looking around for it.” Knowing what colors mosquitoes like may lead to better ways to protect us from mosquitoes. According to the researchers, further study is needed to learn how other things that mosquitoes can see or smell help guide them to their goals (目标). 48. What can help guide mosquitoes to us according to Riffell? ①Our sweat. ②Our height. ③The color red. ④The CO2 from our breath. ⑤The temperature of our skin. A. ①②③④ B. ①②③⑤ C. ①②④⑤ D. ①③④⑤ 49. What does the underlined word “attractive” mean in Paragraph 1? A. Useful. B. Fascinating. C. Scary. D. Personal. 50. What can we learn from the research? A. Mosquitoes don’t like the black color. B. Our skin appears red in mosquitoes’ eyes. C. Mosquitoes like to bite people with dark skin better. D. We can kill mosquitoes by choosing what to wear. 51. Why did Riffell talk about people smelling cake? A. To show how smart humans are. B. To explain how mosquitoes find a goal. C. To warn cake shop owners of mosquitoes. D. To compare mosquitoes’ noses with humans’. 52. What’s the passage mainly about? A. Why mosquitoes like our sweat. B. When mosquitoes like to bite people. C. Ways of keeping mosquitoes away from us. D. The findings of new research on mosquitoes. 请阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容从下面的七个选项中，选择五个适当的句子还原到原文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。 Kites were once called zhiyuan in North China and yaozi in South China. The name fengzheng came into use curing the Five Dynasties. ____53____ He lived in the Five Dynasties. He once tied a whistle (哨子) made of bamboo to the upper (上面的) part of his kite so that a zheng sound was made when he was flying the kite. The word for wind is feng, so fengzheng came into use. Who really invented the kite? ____54____ But it’s widely believed that the earliest kite in the world was made by Mo Di, a famous Chinese philosopher (哲学家) who lived about 2,400 years ago. He spent three years making a “bird” with wood and successfully flew it. The “bird” was later regarded as the first kite in the world. ____55____ Lu Ban improved on kitemaking. He made a kite out of bamboo and it flew into the air for as long as three days. Kite-flying became a kind of activity probably in the Tang Dynasty. ____56____ Because making kites at that time is expensive. Later, the paper-made kite was invented. Paper-made kites were cheaper to make and then they spread quickly among the common people. ____57____ The well-known British scientist, Dr. Needham, once described kites as an important invention that spread to Europe from China in his book. A foreign kite expert said, “The invention of the kite encouraged humans’ dream to fly and led to the invention of the plane.” A. When is the best time to fly a kite? B But only people of the highest class flew kites. C. Did ancient people enjoy themselves while flying a kite? D. There are different opinions so it’s difficult to choose one. E. Li Ye used to make and fly kites according to a history book. F. As time went on, kites “flew” to different countries in the world. G. Later, he passed on his kite-making skills to his student Lu Ban. 五、补全对话（5分） 请阅读下面对话，根据对话内容从下面的七个选项中选择五个填入空白处，使对话通顺、合理，意思完整，并在答题卡上将其序号涂黑。一空一句。 (Andy and Henry are talking in the school.

Paper cutting is made of paper. Firstly, you need to fold the paper. Secondly, draw the desired pattern on the paper. Finally, cut along the lines carefully. The result is a delicate and intricate design that can be used for various decorative purposes. I want to introduce paper cutting because it symbolizes good fortune and happiness. It is a unique art form that reflects the creativity and craftsmanship of the Chinese people. By sharing this art with you, I hope to promote a better understanding and appreciation of Chinese culture. Thank you for listening! 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
