B People love to wear clothes made from cotton because of its breathable comfort. When you enjoy the benefits (好处) it brings, do you know where it comes from? The Indus Valley Civilization (印度河流域文明) is believed to have harvested (收获) cotton for the first time, but China is now the world’s second-largest cotton producer. Xinjiang in the northwest of China is home to the nation’s largest cotton-producing area. In early September every year, the white hair that grows inside the cotton boll (棉桃). stretches out for more sunlight, as if telling farmers it’s ready to be picked. Harvesting lasts from early September to late October. China produces about 22% of the world’s cotton, of which 87.3% comes from Xinjiang, according to the latest data from the National Bureau of Statistics. The planting of cotton in Xinjiang dates back to the late Western Han Dynasty. According to historical records, the cotton introduced from West Asia to Xinjiang was the Levant cotton. Cotton soon spread in Xinjiang because of the region’s full sunlight and moderate rainfall, which the plant needs. Xinjiang is famous for its long-staple cotton (长绒棉), which is popular among customers. In the past, people mainly picked the cotton by hand, but now machines have gradually replaced it. In Xinjiang, nearly 70% of cotton is harvested mechanically (机械化地). The use of machines prevents (防止) the cotton from being polluted and improves its quality (质量). After bags of cotton are packed and transported to many factories, they become clothes, toys, and others that we see in daily life. Cotton’s versatility (多功能性) has earned it a nickname — “white gold”. 5. According to the first paragraph which of the following is TRUE ? A. China produces the world’s most cotton now. B. Clothes made from cotton give people breathable comfort. C. Xinjiang is believed to have harvested cotton for the first time. D. Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is the world’s largest cotton-producing area. 6. How long does the harvesting of cotton usually last? A. About 30 days. B. About 40 days. C. About 50 days. D. Over 60 days. 7. What’s the main idea of the fourth paragraph? A. Why cotton grows well in Xinjiang. B. How cotton is made into clothes. C. How cotton is harvested in Xinjiang. D. Why long-staple cotton is popular among customers. 8. What’s probably the best title of the passage? A. The Levant cotton. B. The long-staple cotton. C. The history of cotton. D. The “White gold” in Xinjiang. C According to the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, for every 19 years there will be seven leap months. There are some traditions during leap month in China, which are different in different places. In some part of Central China’s Henan Province, daughters will prepare wild goose-shaped pastries for their parents before the leap month comes, wishing for happiness and luck. In some parts of East China’s Shandong Province, the married daughters will send fish made by dough to their parents, which means “wealth”. And they will also send dough-made toads to wish their parents good health. People living near Wuyi Mountain in East China’s Fujian Province have the tradition of drinking tea during the leap month, and only women can attend. Women in the village take turns holding the tea party, and they drink tea while talking to one another. Just like other festivals, a get-together dinner is very important among the traditions of the leap month. When leap month comes, parents will invite the married daughter to return home and have dinner together, wishing for happiness and good luck. 9. How often does the leap month happen? A.

If you have, then you ____31____ (probable) have noticed that the score “40-0” is read as “Forty to love” instead of “Forty to zero.” If ____32____ side scores a point (that is, 0-0), then the score will be “Love-all.” So how did “love” become a word for “zero” in tennis? Most people believe this expression ____33____ (come) from French. It is said that the French use the word “l’oeuf” (it means “the egg”) to mean a score of zero. This is similar to calling a score of zero “a duck’s egg” ____34____ British English. When tennis was introduced into England from France, Englishmen also called a score of zero “l’oeuf.” However, some tennis fans didn’t know ____35____ (France). They mispronounced the French word as the English word “love” (the two words are close in pronunciation). Over time, “love” ended up with a new ____36____ (mean): a score of zero. This is ____37____ (popular) explanation for the term’s origin (起源). Unluckily, researchers haven’t yet found proof (证明) that the French people ever used the word “l’oeuf” to mean “zero.” According to ____38____ (they) studies, the French always call the number “zero.” Another explanation has been more widely accepted among some researchers. It says this usage came from the expression “to play for love.” Players who fail to score any points don’t care. They play for their love of the game not just for a wish to win. The researchers have found written records ____39____ (support) this explanation. ____40____ most of the records are about card games, rather than tennis. So far, nobody knows for sure how “love” came to mean “zero” in tennis. More studies are needed to solve this puzzle (不解之谜). 四、阅读与表达(共4小题，41~43小题，每题2分，44小题4分；满分10分) 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Technology Keeps Grandparents and Grandchildren Connected When it comes to keeping in touch with grandchildren, grandparents need to learn new technologies. They are taking advantage of choices like video chatting, text messaging and social media (社交网络媒介) to keep in touch with their grandchildren in more ways than ever before, according to a survey. Mary Taylor is a typical case. She depends on video chatting to stay in touch with her grandchildren, all of whom are under the age of seven. They live in different countries. Mary says video chatting is the next best thing to being with her grandchildren even though it requires planning to schedule calls and taking the time differences into account (考虑到). “It’s not always perfect,” she says, “but it’s certainly better than talking on the phone, especially with kids at those ages.” According to the survey, more than 20% of grandparents use video chatting to communicate, which is a little less than the number of those who often use text messaging but more than those who prefer to use social media. But with a number of choices out there, keeping up with new technologies can be a challenge for them. 74-year-old Mary Carr-McNally says she calls her grandchildren back when they text her. “I’m not very good at texting, so I call them back, and then we chat,” she says. In all, more than 30% of them say that learning new technologies is difficult. That’s why phone calls remain the most popular form of communication for grandparents, nearly half of whom say they talk with their grandchildren by phone. Still, more than 40% of grandparents say they’re good at learning new technologies. Take Alice Smith for example. She owns a laptop, a tablet and a smartphone, and uses them to keep in touch with her five grandchildren aged 4 to 16. She says she likes to text the older three and depends on video chatting with the younger ones. “Texting is quick and simple. But we can do a lot of things on video chatting,” she says. “If the kids want to see something, I walk around and show them. Video chatting also allows me to see my loved one’s facial expressions as we speak and does not require typing (打字) or reading small print. It’s the next best thing to meeting someone face-to-face.” 41. How does Mary Taylor stay in touch with her grandchildren? ____________________________________ 42. Why do phone calls remain the most popular form of communication for grandparents? ____________________________________ 43. What does Alice Smith think of texting? ____________________________________ 44. In your opinion, which is the best way for grandparents to keep in touch with their grandchildren? Why?

If you make a mistake, please correct it in time, even if it’s just a small mistake. Once a time in a math exam, I met a difficult problem that I couldn’t solve. I found that Xiaoming next to me quickly got the answer. So I planned to copy his answer. I finally did this at last. I got a high score in that exam. Later on, I felt very uneasy. I admitted my mistake to my math teacher and the head teacher, but they didn’t criticize me. From then on, I worked hard and in the end, my math grades have improved quickly. Making a mistake is not an important thing, if you are brave enough to correct it. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
