Sometimes you are not sure where you are. It can be dangerous, and the more technology we have, the more distracted (注意力分散) we become. Why? It is because of our mobile phone’s Short Message Service (SMS). A new research found that people who send messages by phone while driving are more likely to have accidents than those who concentrate on driving. If someone that you care about often sends messages by phone when he is driving, you’d better stop him doing that. How can you do it? Now a new technology can help. The technology uses a Global Positioning System (GPS全球定位系统) signal to know the user’s speed. When the user reaches driving speed, the GPS immediately works in order to make him not receive the messages or emails. If you’re worried about someone talking on his mobile phone while driving, you can do that, too. Just pay $20 every year. It’s a low price to pay to be sure that your loved ones always keep safe on the road. 根据短文内容，从A、B、C、D中选择最佳答案。 36. What may happen if a driver sends messages by phone while driving? A. He may lose his way. B. He may have an accident. C. He may drive very slowly. D. He may drive very fast. 37. What can the GPS do? A. It can stop the mobile phones from receiving messages or emails. B. It can call the driver. C. It can control the driving speed. D. It can send an email to the driver. 38. What can we learn from the passage? A. It doesn’t matter when you can’t be sure where you are. B. When the driver reaches driving speed, the GPS immediately works. C. You can just pay 30 a year for stopping the signal of the mobile phone. D. The GPS signal can’t know the driver’s speed. 【答案】36. B 37. A 38. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讨论了开车时发短信的危险，并介绍了一种使用GPS技术来防止司机开车时接收短信或电子邮件的新技术。这项技术通过检测车辆速度，当驾驶速度达到一定水平时，阻止司机接收消息，从而提高驾驶安全性。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“A new research found that people who send messages by phone while driving are more likely to have accidents than those who concentrate on driving.”可知，那些开车时发短信的人比专心开车的人更容易发生事故，故选B。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When the user reaches driving speed, the GPS immediately works in order to make him not receive the messages or emails.”可知，GPS可以阻止手机接收短信或电子邮件，故选A。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When the user reaches driving speed, the GPS immediately works”可知，当驾驶速度达到开车速度时，GPS立即起作用，故选B。 B Paper cutting or tearing is a cultural tradition in China. For centuries, it has been passed down from one generation (一代人) to the next, especially from mothers to daughters. This beautiful art created by skillful artists is used to decorate (装饰) doors, ceilings, and beds in people’s homes, or at celebrations such as birthdays and weddings. At Chinese New Year, window flowers are glued to windows, creating beautiful patterns of light and shadow. The two main techniques (技艺) used are cutting the paper using a knife or scissors, or tearing it by hand. If the paper is cut, the edges (边缘) are very smooth. Paper cutting can produce very fine and delicate work. This type of work is typical of southern China. If the paper is torn by hand, the edges are more simple and natural. Tearing is used more in northeast China. In addition, different parts of China have their own motifs or pictures. These motifs can express many stories, ideas and emotions. It can be hard to hold on to traditions like these because young people don't know much about traditional art. Often they prefer spending their time on newer pastimes. The experts are getting older. If young people don't learn the traditions, they won’t be able to pass them down to their own children. But recently there is a change. There are more exhibitions of traditional art. Artists are going into schools to teach children how to do paper cutting. Children enjoy working together with artists and talking to them about the meaning of their art. In this way, they are becoming proud of their culture and traditions. 39. The underlined word “motifs” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________. A. habits B. reasons C. subjects D. words 40. What is the writer’s opinion on paper cutting or tearing? A. It is easy to hold on to this form of art. B. It will continue in China for future generations. C. It is so expensive that only the rich can afford to learn it D. The beautiful art isn’t used to decorate ceilings or beds. 41. From the passage we know that ________. A. young people know traditional art very well B. the edges are very smooth when the paper is cut C. girls were not allowed to learn paper cutting in the past D. if the paper is torn by hand, the edges are very smooth 42. What could be the best title for the passage? A. Chinese Paper Art B. Great Changes in China C. Famous Chinese Artists D. An Exhibition of Paper Cutting 【答案】39. C 40. B 41. B 42. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国的剪纸和撕纸艺术，其文化传承以及各地的特色，并强调了保护与继承这一传统艺术的重要性。 【39题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“These motifs can express many stories, ideas and emotions.”可知，画线单词可以表达许多故事、想法和情感，故画线单词motifs指的是艺术作品的主题。故选C。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据“If young people don't learn the traditions, they won't be able to pass them down to their own children. But recently there is a change.”可知，如果年轻人不学习这些传统艺术的话，他们就不能把这些技艺传承给子孙后代，但最近有一些改变。由此可推知，作者认为这些技艺会在中国的后代中流传下来。故选B。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“If the paper is cut, the edges are very smooth.”可知，如果纸张被裁剪的话，它的边缘会非常光滑。故选B。 【42题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“Paper cutting or tearing is a cultural tradition in China.”可知，全文旨在介绍中国的传统文化工艺——剪纸和撕纸。故选A。 C In Dengfeng today, there are more than 50,000 students learning kung fu, a traditional art in China. They come to learn it for many reasons. Some hope to become film stars. Others come to learn skills that will help them get good jobs in future. A few are sent by their parents to learn self-control and hard work. “Attracting （吸引）new students to traditional kung fu has become a problem,” says Hu Zhengsheng, who teaches it at a small school in Dengfeng. Hu fears that his art will soon die out. “It’s hard to convince（说服）kids to spend many years here, because the life of kung fu learners is not easy or interesting,” he says. Hu’s students have to sleep in unheated rooms and keep training hard outside whatever the temperature. To learn kung fu well they must have a strong will and learn respect（尊重）as well. For old traditions to live on, the young must learn and pass them down. Recently, to attract new students, Hu has brought some changes into his kung fu lessons to make them lively and interesting. Hopefully, more and more students will show interest in learning kung fu. 43. What does “it” underlined in paragraph 1 refer to（指的是）? A. Kung fu. B. Film. C. Self-control. D. Chinese. 44. What does Hu Zhengsheng fear? A. His students don’t respect him. B. He cannot work at a large school. C. His art cannot be passed down. D. There aren’t enough kung fu teachers. 45. What has Hu done to attract new students’? A. He has offered better living conditions. B. He has given jobs to their parents. C He has promised them a better future. D. He has made changes in his lessons. 【答案】43. A 44. C 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要学生们学习功夫的原因，以及吸引学生们来学习传统功夫成了一个问题，以及想出的解决办法。 【43题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“In Dengfeng today, there are more than 50,000 students learning kung fu, a traditional art in China. They come to learn it for many reasons”可知，此处指学习功夫的原因有很多，所以it指代Kung fu，故选A。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Hu fears that his art will soon die out”可知，担心他的艺术很快就会消亡，故选C。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Recently, to attract new students, Hu has brought some changes into his kung fu lessons to make them lively and interesting”可知，为了吸引新学员，在功夫课上做了一些改变，使其生动有趣，故选D。 D Have you ever seen lions dancing in the streets? The lions dance to the beat of a drum (鼓). Of course, they are not real lions. They are dancers in lion costurnes (服饰). Lion dancing first started in China centuries ago. It is meant to bring good luck in the coming year. Usually, a lion is made up of two dancers. One dancer controls the head. The other controls the tail. “I think of it as a sport,” says Anthony Huang, aged 16. He is a member of the New York Chinese Freemasons Athletic Club. Anthony performs (表演) as the lion’s head.

You have to believe that you can do it,” says Ananda Tang-Lee, a 17-year-old girl. Lion dancing will continue to evolve.

That’s about 1,030,000,000 tons, or 121 kilograms for each person on the Earth. 61% of the food waste is from home cooking. Food services, such as restaurants, produce 26% and groceries (食品杂货店) and other stores 13%. “We thought waste was a problem in rich countries,” says Martina Otto, who works for the UN Environment Program. “However, the new report finds, food waste is a big problem in nations rich and poor.” Each year, some 690,000,000 people go hungry. At the same time, about 10% of all CO₂ on the Earth is from the activities that produce the food waste. Control on food waste can help deal with hunger and cut down that pollution. It is helpful to both people and the planet. By avoiding wasting food, we can save money and time. More importantly, we can help protect the Earth’s most valuable resources (资源). Then what can we do to stop food waste? Small actions make a difference. Each of us can play a part. Next time, before you throw, think twice! 50. Where is most food waste from? A. Home cooking. B. Restaurants. C. Food stores. D. Groceries. 51. What is the third paragraph (段落) mainly about? A. How we can protect the Earth. B. Where we shall find resources. C. Why we should avoid food waste. D.

Small actions make a difference”可知，作者通过讲述食物浪费的严重现象来呼吁人们行动起来，来停止食物浪费，故选B。 F Once, there lived a wise man. His son, however, had no goal (目标) in life and wasn’t happy. As the years passed, the man was more and more worried. One day, he handed his son a map and said, “I want you to go and find a treasure.” The son set out eagerly (急切地). He travelled really far, across forests and mountains. Finally, he reached the place and began to dig. He dug and dug, but nothing was found. Tired and sad, he decided to go back home. On his way back, he noticed dancing birds and beautiful flowers. He met happy farmers in the fields. He found everything nice! He got home, and his father asked, “How was your journey to the pace? Did you enjoy it?” “Of course not! I was worried that someone else would find the treasure before I did. But I really enjoyed the journey back home and forgot the pain of not finding the treasure.” The son continued to tell his father what he noticed on his way back. “Nice things are always there,” the father smiled. “My son, I want you to have a goal. If you don’t have a goal, you won’t set out. But if the goal is the only thing in your mind, you’ll miss something nice and won’t be happy. So remember: It’s important to have a goal in life and enjoy the journey as well”. 53. Why did the man worry about his son? (不超过10个词) __________________________ 54.

As the years passed, the man was more and more worried.”可知，智者的儿子没有人生目标，并不快乐，所以他很担心。故填Because he had no goal in life and wasn’t happy. 【54题详解】 根据“On his way back, he noticed dancing birds and beautiful flowers.

Sometimes you are not sure where you are. It can be dangerous, and the more technology we have, the more distracted (注意力分散) we become. Why? It is because of our mobile phone’s Short Message Service (SMS). A new research found that people who send messages by phone while driving are more likely to have accidents than those who concentrate on driving. If someone that you care about often sends messages by phone when he is driving, you’d better stop him doing that. How can you do it? Now a new technology can help. The technology uses a Global Positioning System (GPS全球定位系统) signal to know the user’s speed. When the user reaches driving speed, the GPS immediately works in order to make him not receive the messages or emails. If you’re worried about someone talking on his mobile phone while driving, you can do that, too. Just pay $20 every year. It’s a low price to pay to be sure that your loved ones always keep safe on the road. 根据短文内容，从A、B、C、D中选择最佳答案。 36. What may happen if a driver sends messages by phone while driving? A. He may lose his way. B. He may have an accident. C. He may drive very slowly. D. He may drive very fast. 37. What can the GPS do? A. It can stop the mobile phones from receiving messages or emails. B. It can call the driver. C. It can control the driving speed. D. It can send an email to the driver. 38. What can we learn from the passage? A. It doesn’t matter when you can’t be sure where you are. B. When the driver reaches driving speed, the GPS immediately works. C. You can just pay 30 a year for stopping the signal of the mobile phone. D. The GPS signal can’t know the driver’s speed. B Paper cutting or tearing is a cultural tradition in China. For centuries, it has been passed down from one generation (一代人) to the next, especially from mothers to daughters. This beautiful art created by skillful artists is used to decorate (装饰) doors, ceilings, and beds in people’s homes, or at celebrations such as birthdays and weddings. At Chinese New Year, window flowers are glued to windows, creating beautiful patterns of light and shadow. The two main techniques (技艺) used are cutting the paper using a knife or scissors, or tearing it by hand. If the paper is cut, the edges (边缘) are very smooth. Paper cutting can produce very fine and delicate work. This type of work is typical of southern China. If the paper is torn by hand, the edges are more simple and natural. Tearing is used more in northeast China. In addition, different parts of China have their own motifs or pictures. These motifs can express many stories, ideas and emotions. It can be hard to hold on to traditions like these because young people don't know much about traditional art. Often they prefer spending their time on newer pastimes. The experts are getting older. If young people don't learn the traditions, they won’t be able to pass them down to their own children. But recently there is a change. There are more exhibitions of traditional art. Artists are going into schools to teach children how to do paper cutting. Children enjoy working together with artists and talking to them about the meaning of their art. In this way, they are becoming proud of their culture and traditions. 39. The underlined word “motifs” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________. A. habits B. reasons C. subjects D. words 40. What is the writer’s opinion on paper cutting or tearing? A. It is easy to hold on to this form of art. B. It will continue in China for future generations. C. It is so expensive that only the rich can afford to learn it D. The beautiful art isn’t used to decorate ceilings or beds. 41. From the passage we know that ________. A. young people know traditional art very well B. the edges are very smooth when the paper is cut C girls were not allowed to learn paper cutting in the past D. if the paper is torn by hand, the edges are very smooth 42. What could be the best title for the passage? A. Chinese Paper Art B. Great Changes in China C. Famous Chinese Artists D. An Exhibition of Paper Cutting C In Dengfeng today, there are more than 50,000 students learning kung fu, a traditional art in China. They come to learn it for many reasons. Some hope to become film stars. Others come to learn skills that will help them get good jobs in future. A few are sent by their parents to learn self-control and hard work. “Attracting （吸引）new students to traditional kung fu has become a problem” says Hu Zhengsheng, who teaches it at a small school in Dengfeng. Hu fears that his art will soon die out. “It’s hard to convince（说服）kids to spend many years here, because the life of kung fu learners is not easy or interesting,” he says. Hu’s students have to sleep in unheated rooms and keep training hard outside whatever the temperature. To learn kung fu well they must have a strong will and learn respect（尊重）as well. For old traditions to live on, the young must learn and pass them down. Recently, to attract new students, Hu has brought some changes into his kung fu lessons to make them lively and interesting. Hopefully, more and more students will show interest in learning kung fu. 43. What does “it” underlined in paragraph 1 refer to（指的是）? A. Kung fu. B. Film. C. Self-control. D. Chinese. 44. What does Hu Zhengsheng fear? A. His students don’t respect him. B. He cannot work at a large school. C. His art cannot be passed down. D. There aren’t enough kung fu teachers. 45. What has Hu done to attract new students’? A. He has offered better living conditions. B. He has given jobs to their parents. C. He has promised them a better future. D. He has made changes in his lessons. D Have you ever seen lions dancing in the streets? The lions dance to the beat of a drum (鼓). Of course, they are not real lions. They are dancers in lion costurnes (服饰). Lion dancing first started in China centuries ago. It is meant to bring good luck in the coming year. Usually, a lion is made up of two dancers. One dancer controls the head. The other controls the tail. “I think of it as a sport,” says Anthony Huang, aged 16. He is a member of the New York Chinese Freemasons Athletic Club. Anthony performs (表演) as the lion’s head. It can weigh 20 pounds. Lion dancing is important to Anthony. “This tradition really lifts me up,” he says. In the past, lion dancing was performed mostly by men. But it is different today. LionDanceMe is a lion dancing group in San Francisco, California. There are boys and girls on its team. They dance together. “Anyone can take up lion dancing. You have to believe that you can do it,” says Ananda Tang-Lee, a 17-year-old girl. Lion dancing will continue to evolve. But a team’s sense of community will never change. “We call it a family,” Ananda says, “It’s really great, because we always have each other’s backs.” 46. Why do people perform lion dancing? A. To sell lion-dancing costurnes. B. To wish for a lucky new year. C. To protect the lions in the wild. D. To show skills of playing the drum. 47. Which role does Anthony play in lion dancing? A. The lion’s head. B. The lion’s tail. C. The drummer. D. The dresser. 48. What does the underlined word “evolve” mean? A. 延期 B. 模仿 C. 举办 D. 演变 49. What can we infer (推断) from Ananda’s words “We call it a family”? A. They bring happiness to the family. B. They call lion dancing a family game. C. They live together in a big family. D. They support each other like a family. E According to the finding of a new UN report, the world wastes about one sixth of the food each year. That’s about 1,030,000,000 tons, or 121 kilograms for each person on the Earth. 61% of the food waste is from home cooking. Food services, such as restaurants, produce 26% and groceries (食品杂货店) and other stores 13%. “We thought waste was a problem in rich countries,” says Martina Otto, who works for the UN Environment Program. “However, the new report finds, food waste is a big problem in nations rich and poor.” Each year, some 690,000,000 people go hungry. At the same time, about 10% of all CO₂ on the Earth is from the activities that produce the food waste. Control on food waste can help deal with hunger and cut down that pollution. It is helpful to both people and the planet. By avoiding wasting food, we can save money and time. More importantly, we can help protect the Earth’s most valuable resources (资源). Then what can we do to stop food waste? Small actions make a difference. Each of us can play a part. Next time, before you throw, think twice! 50. Where is most food waste from? A. Home cooking. B. Restaurants. C. Food stores. D. Groceries. 51. What is the third paragraph (段落) mainly about? A. How we can protect the Earth. B. Where we shall find resources. C. Why we should avoid food waste. D.
