Reading Comprehension（共15小题, 每小题2分, 共30分） Choose the best answer according to the passage you read. A There’s a famous saying in the film Forrest Gump (《阿甘正传》), “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.” The surprise is part of the fun. It is not only from the chocolates you find in the box but also the process of opening the box. Now blind box toys, which are just like boxes of chocolates, have gotten popular since they were first introduced from Japan to China in 2014. Blind box toys are hidden inside the same packaging (包装). So, the buyers don’t know what will be inside until they open the boxes. The most popular toys with small sizes in the blind boxes are typically cute characters which come from pop movies, comics and cartoons. There are a few special ones in many common boxes. “Maybe the next one is a $10, 000 worth of gold toy. Why not take a risk of paying $100 for another box?”said one buyer. The mystery is endless. People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better result. Besides expecting good results, people also enjoy the surprise and uncertain mysteries. “Opening a blind box like opening birthday gifts is an enjoyable surprise for our simple daily lives, said a 24-year-old girl. “When I open these simple little boxes, I feel disappointed at one, but I feel excited at another. What really makes me interested in them is the process of opening the boxes. “A fear of the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process, and waiting for the uncertainty (is another part of the fun. “Waiting to open the boxes gives me a feeling of satisfaction, ”said Zhao Xi, a 30-year-old Beijing reporter. “The fun of life is like _____, and it doesn’t come from the result but the process.” 21. The writer starts the passage by _________. A. asking a question B. using some numbers C. talking about a film D. introducing a saying 22. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage. A. The culture of blind box toys comes from Japan. B. You will get a gold toy if you can buy some blind boxes. C. The process of opening the boxes is more important than the result. D. Most toys in blind boxes are characters of popular movies, comics and cartoons. 23. The missing part in Paragraph 3 may be _________. A. opening a blind box B. getting a surprising gift C. watching a cartoon film D. taking a meaningless risk 24. The writer writes the passage in order to _________. A. tell people where to buy blind boxes B. show what can be found in blind boxes C. explain why people enjoy buying blind boxes D. teach people how to make blind boxes 【答案】21. D 22. B 23. A 24. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了盲盒玩具的流行现象及其背后的心理动机，包括人们通过开盲盒体验惊喜和不确定性的乐趣，以及这种趋势如何在日常生活中提供了一种简单而有趣的快感。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据“There’s a famous saying in the film Forrest Gump (《阿甘正传》), “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.””可知，此处是引用《阿甘正传》中的名言，作者首先通过一句谚语来引入主题。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Maybe the next one is a $10, 000 worth of gold toy. Why not take a risk of paying $100 for another box?”可以看出，并不是一定能得到金色玩具，而是存在这种可能。因此B项错误。故选B。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The fun of life is like..., and it doesn’t come from the result but the process.”可知，它不是来自结果，而是来自过程，可推知是指生活就像开盲盒。故选A。 【24题详解】 主旨大意题。纵观全文，作者想通过盲盒这种现象来解释为什么人们喜欢购买盲盒，从过程中获得的乐趣与期待的心理满足感。故选C。 B Can the “double reduction” policy (双减政策) really help you?

Solar panels take energy from the sun and turn it into electricity. Over the past ten years, the price of solar panels has gone down greatly. In many parts of the world, solar energy is now the cheapest form of electricity. More and more people have started using solar energy to power (给……供电) their homes. However, solar panels also have their problems. They stop working at night and on rainy days. Is it possible to make them produce electricity all of the time? Scientists at Suzhou University, China, have invented a new solar panel now. It can produce electricity not only from solar energy but also from falling rain. When a raindrop falls on the solar panel and then rolls (滚动) down, it creates friction (摩擦力) on the surface of the panel, which can then be turned into electricity. Sun Baoquan is one of the inventors. “Our new invention can produce electricity in any weather during the day,” he says. “It can even provide electricity at night if there is rain.” The solar panel, however, does not make much electricity from falling rain. So Sun Baoquan is still working hard to improve it. The scientist also wants to make solar panels more flexible (灵活的), which are as soft as clothing. The field of solar energy is developing fast Scientists around the world have been improving solar panels. Some have been working on ways to join solar panels and wind power together. Some have been trying to use sunlight to produce liquid and gas fuels (液体和气体燃料). 32 Which energy is now the cheapest form of electricity in many parts of the world? A. Solar energy. B. Water energy. C. Wind energy. D. Nuclear energy. 33. What is one of the problems of common solar panels? A. The price of them is rising. B. They can’t work all of the time. C. They can hardly power people’s homes. D. They only stop working at nights. 34. Why is the new solar panel more scientific and useful? A. It has a larger size than a common one. B. It produces more electricity from falling rain than solar energy. C. It can produce electricity day and night and even in rainy conditions. D. It is as soft as clothing. 35. We can infer (推断) from this text that _________. A. there is no room for developing solar energy B. there is no end to the research in the field of solar energy C. solar energy has completely taken the place of other kinds of energy D. some have been working on ways to join solar panels and water energy together 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了太阳能电池板的发展和应用，以及科学家在改进太阳能电池板方面的最新进展。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In many parts of the world, solar energy is now the cheapest form of electricity.”可知，在世界上许多地方，太阳能现在是最便宜的电力形式。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“However, solar panels also have their problems.

Also, don’t say no if you are invited to take part in different activities to enjoy the good weather. 【答案】51. fourth 52. length 53. impossible 54. that 55. peacefully 56. satisfies 57. a 58. is believed 59. seasons 60. living 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国传统文化中的二十四节气——春分。 【51题详解】 句意：春分，今年是在3月21日，在汉语中也被称为“Chunfen”，是二十四个节气中的第四个。此处表示顺序，用序数词，four的序数词形式为fourth“第四”。故填fourth。 【52题详解】 句意：它标志着昼夜长度相同。此处是说白天和黑夜的长度，用名词形式，long的名词形式为length“长度”。故填length。 【53题详解】 句意：据说很久之前，因为没有足够的阳光，对于人们来说种植庄稼几乎不可能。根据前文“as there was not enough sunlight”可知，没有足够的阳光，种庄稼是不可能的，possible“可能的”，impossible“不可能的”。故填impossible。 【54题详解】 句意：一天，炎帝决定乘五色鸟飞到蓬莱岛去寻找太阳，以便他的人民可以享受更好的丰收。so that“为了”，引导目的状语从句。故填that。 【55题详解】 句意：从那时起，地球上有了大量的庄稼，人们幸福和平地生活在一起。从此用副词修饰动词，peace的副词形式为peacefully“和平地”。故填peacefully。 【56题详解】 句意：春分那天的和风正好满足了这些需求，所以风筝更容易上升。主语是“The gentle wind ”，动词用第三人称单数形式。故填satisfies。 【57题详解】 句意：对于人们来说，通常是放风筝的好时间，老人和年轻人都去空旷的地方放风筝。a wonderful time“一段美好的时间”。故填a。 【58题详解】 句意：人们相信在春分放风筝可以驱走厄运，带回好运。It is believed...“据信……”，是固定句型。故填is believed。 【59题详解】 句意：自古以来，人们根据季节的变化来吃食物。季节不止一个，用名词的复数形式seasons。故填seasons。 【60题详解】 句意：在中国的南部省份福建和广东，住在村里的人们挖野菜，用它们煮汤来清洗自己的胃。分析句子结构可知，句中不缺少谓语动词，此处people和live之间是主动关系，用现在分词living表主动。故填living。 VI. Reading Expression(Only one word for one blank)（共5小题, 每小题2分, 共10分） In Chinese poet Yu Guangzhong’s poem Nostalgia, he describes his memory for his late mother as a grave (坟墓), “Nostalgia was a low grave/Me on the outside/Mother on the inside”. And when the news came that Yu passed away on Dec 14, 2017, his fans rewrote his poem to express their nostalgia for this great writer: “Now it’s us on the outside, and you on the inside.” Born in 1928 in Nanjing, Jiangsu, Yu spent his younger days on the Chinese mainland before moving to Taiwan in his 20s. Nostalgia—which Yu wrote in his 40s to voice his homesickness for his childhood motherland—became his most well-known work. The poem appeared in Chinese school textbooks and was written into songs. However the fact that Nostalgia became so famous also worried Yu because among the over 1,000 poems that he’d written, Nostalgia seemed to be the only one that the public ever talked about and enjoyed. “I’d like to think of Nostalgia as my business card, but unfortunately it got too big that it kept people from seeing the real me,” Yu once said. Writing poems is only one of Yu’s many talents. And he used his talents well. He spent his whole life working, even in his 80s. To him, writing was an important part of life that shouldn’t be affected by age or anything else. 61. Yu Guangzhong was _________ years old when he passed away. He is a famous _________. 62. Yu Guangzhong’s fans _________ his poem Nostalgia to _________ their nostalgia for this great writer when the news came that Yu passed away. 63. The fact that Nostalgia became so famous worried Yu. Because it got too big that it _________ people _________ seeing the real him. 64 Yu lived in _________ in his 40s. He wrote Nostalgia to _________ his homesickness for his childhood motherland. 65. _________ was an important part in Yu’s life. To him, it shouldn’t be _________ by age or anything else. 【答案】61. ①. 89##eighty-nine ②. poet 62. ①. rewrote ②. express 63. ①. kept ②. from 64. ①. Taiwan ②. voice 65. ①. Writing ②. affected 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了余光中在他诗作《乡愁》中表达的思乡之情及其生平事迹。 【61题详解】 根据“Yu passed away on Dec 14, 2017”以及“Born in 1928 in Nanjing”可知他去世时89岁；“In Chinese poet Yu Guangzhong’s poem Nostalgia”可知他是一位著名的诗人。故填89/eighty-nine；poet。 【62题详解】 根据“And when the news came that Yu passed away on Dec 14, 2017, his fans rewrote his poem to express their nostalgia for this great writer”可知当余于2017年12月14日去世的消息传出时，他的粉丝重写了他的诗，以表达他们对这位伟大作家的怀念，时态为一般过去时，第一空用过去式；第二空不定式to后接动词原形，表目的。故填rewrote；express。 【63题详解】 根据“I’d like to think of Nostalgia as my business card, but unfortunately it got too big that it kept people from seeing the real me”可知想把《乡愁》视为自己的名片，但不幸的是，它太大了，让人们看不到真正的自己，keep…from“阻止”，时态为一般过去时，第一空用过去式。故填kept；from。 【64题详解】 根据“Yu spent his younger days on the Chinese mainland before moving to Taiwan in his 20s. Nostalgia—which Yu wrote in his 40s to voice his homesickness for his childhood motherland”可知他40多岁时住在台湾，余在40多岁时写下这首诗，表达了他对祖国的思乡之情。不定式to后接动词原形，表目的。故填Taiwan；voice。 【65题详解】 根据“To him, writing was an important part of life that shouldn’t be affected by age or anything else.”可知对他来说，写作是生活的重要组成部分，不应该受到年龄或其他任何因素的影响。第一空使用动名词作主语，be affected“被影响”，故填Writing；affected。 VII.

Reading Comprehension（共15小题, 每小题2分, 共30分） Choose the best answer according to the passage you read. A There’s a famous saying in the film Forrest Gump (《阿甘正传》), “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.” The surprise is part of the fun. It is not only from the chocolates you find in the box but also the process of opening the box. Now blind box toys, which are just like boxes of chocolates, have gotten popular since they were first introduced from Japan to China in 2014. Blind box toys are hidden inside the same packaging (包装). So, the buyers don’t know what will be inside until they open the boxes. The most popular toys with small sizes in the blind boxes are typically cute characters which come from pop movies, comics and cartoons. There are a few special ones in many common boxes. “Maybe the next one is a $10, 000 worth of gold toy. Why not take a risk of paying $100 for another box?”said one buyer. The mystery is endless. People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better result. Besides expecting good results, people also enjoy the surprise and uncertain mysteries. “Opening a blind box like opening birthday gifts is an enjoyable surprise for our simple daily lives, said a 24-year-old girl. “When I open these simple little boxes, I feel disappointed at one, but I feel excited at another. What really makes me interested in them is the process of opening the boxes. “A fear of the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process, and waiting for the uncertainty (is another part of the fun. “Waiting to open the boxes gives me a feeling of satisfaction, ”said Zhao Xi, a 30-year-old Beijing reporter. “The fun of life is like _____, and it doesn’t come from the result but the process.” 21. The writer starts the passage by _________. A. asking a question B. using some numbers C. talking about a film D. introducing a saying 22. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage. A. The culture of blind box toys comes from Japan. B. You will get a gold toy if you can buy some blind boxes. C. The process of opening the boxes is more important than the result. D. Most toys in blind boxes are characters of popular movies, comics and cartoons. 23. The missing part in Paragraph 3 may be _________. A. opening a blind box B. getting a surprising gift C. watching a cartoon film D. taking a meaningless risk 24. The writer writes the passage in order to _________. A. tell people where to buy blind boxes B. show what can be found in blind boxes C. explain why people enjoy buying blind boxes D. teach people how to make blind boxes B Can the “double reduction” policy (双减政策) really help you? Some students have different answers. Let’s have a look. Shen Yuzhe, 13, Beijing It really helps me a lot. I don’t need to do too much homework. I can finish it at school. I don’t need to take it home. I can swim or play ping-pong with my father. I’m very happy. Zhang Hangming, 13, Tianjin I like the “double reduction” policy very much, because I can have free time to do my favorite things on Saturday and Sunday. I like to play the piano and play volleyball. I join a music club and I can go there on Saturday. Yu Zhiyue, 14, Jiangsu With the “double reduction” policy, I really have less homework to do. But now I can only take tutoring classes (辅导班) from Monday to Friday. So Monday is a very long day for me. On that day, I need to have classes on the computer at home after school. I am very tired. Cui Ruqi, 12, Liaoning It makes me have happy weekends. I can play the piano or read my favorite books on the weekend. I want to be a musician like my mother. She can play the piano and the violin very well. 25. Shen Yuzhe can have time to _________ after school now. A. play sports with his father B. play volleyball C. go to a dancing club D. play the piano 26. Who have the same hobby? A. Shen Yuzhe and Cui Ruqi. B. Zhang Hangming and Yu Zhiyue. C. Cui Ruqi and Zhang Hangming. D. Shen Yuzhe and Yu Zhiyue. 27. What can we know from the passage? A. The four students are in the same middle school. B. Cui Ruqi’s mother can teach her to play the piano. C. Yu Zhiyue is free after school on Monday. D. The “double reduction” policy makes Zhang Hangming have a busy weekend. C For a long time, “made in China” made people think of cheap, low-quality goods. China was just the world’s factory. But now Chinese brands are popular and being accepted in the world. Time magazine recently released a list of the 100 most influential companies in the world. Several Chinese companies were included, such as Tech giants Alibaba, Huawei, Tencent, DJI, TikTok and DiDi Chuxing. These companies are shaping the world with highly developed technology. For example, Huawei is the world’s second-biggest mobile phone company. Time reported that DJI holds 70 percent of the drone (无人机) market in the world. This year, it invented a new drone with a set of glasses that gives users a first-person picture of their drone 5s flight. TikTok has become one of the most popular apps in the US with its endless videos. Millions of the US users spend an average of 46 minutes on it every day. Chinese fashion has also attracted global consumers (消费者). In 2011, Chinese brands Feiyue, Huili and LI-NING got international attention. More recently, SHEIN has become one of the most popular Chinese fast fashion brands abroad. In 2020, its income reached over 10 billion dollars an increase of 100 percent over the year before, Global Times reported. Many European consumers say SHEIN is affordable, fashionable and of high quality. A bigger market is good for Chinese brands. In the future, Chinese brands will continue to develop. 28.

D Have you ever seen a solar panel (太阳能电池板) in your neighborhood? Solar panels take energy from the sun and turn it into electricity. Over the past ten years, the price of solar panels has gone down greatly. In many parts of the world, solar energy is now the cheapest form of electricity. More and more people have started using solar energy to power (给……供电) their homes. However, solar panels also have their problems. They stop working at night and on rainy days. Is it possible to make them produce electricity all of the time? Scientists at Suzhou University, China, have invented a new solar panel now. It can produce electricity not only from solar energy but also from falling rain. When a raindrop falls on the solar panel and then rolls (滚动) down, it creates friction (摩擦力) on the surface of the panel, which can then be turned into electricity. Sun Baoquan is one of the inventors. “Our new invention can produce electricity in any weather during the day,” he says. “It can even provide electricity at night if there is rain.” The solar panel, however, does not make much electricity from falling rain. So Sun Baoquan is still working hard to improve it. The scientist also wants to make solar panels more flexible (灵活的), which are as soft as clothing. The field of solar energy is developing fast. Scientists around the world have been improving solar panels. Some have been working on ways to join solar panels and wind power together. Some have been trying to use sunlight to produce liquid and gas fuels (液体和气体燃料). 32. Which energy is now the cheapest form of electricity in many parts of the world? A. Solar energy. B. Water energy. C. Wind energy. D. Nuclear energy. 33. What is one of the problems of common solar panels? A. The price of them is rising. B. They can’t work all of the time. C. They can hardly power people’s homes. D. They only stop working at nights. 34. Why is the new solar panel more scientific and useful? A. It has a larger size than a common one. B. It produces more electricity from falling rain than solar energy. C. It can produce electricity day and night and even in rainy conditions. D. It is as soft as clothing. 35. We can infer (推断) from this text that _________. A. there is no room for developing solar energy B. there is no end to the research in the field of solar energy C. solar energy has completely taken the place of other kinds of energy D. some have been working on ways to join solar panels and water energy together III.

Reading Expression(Only one word for one blank)（共5小题, 每小题2分, 共10分） In Chinese poet Yu Guangzhong’s poem Nostalgia, he describes his memory for his late mother as a grave (坟墓), “Nostalgia was a low grave/Me on the outside/Mother on the inside”. And when the news came that Yu passed away on Dec 14, 2017, his fans rewrote his poem to express their nostalgia for this great writer: “Now it’s us on the outside, and you on the inside.” Born in 1928 in Nanjing, Jiangsu, Yu spent his younger days on the Chinese mainland before moving to Taiwan in his 20s. Nostalgia—which Yu wrote in his 40s to voice his homesickness for his childhood motherland—became his most well-known work. The poem appeared in Chinese school textbooks and was written into songs. However, the fact that Nostalgia became so famous also worried Yu because among the over 1,000 poems that he’d written, Nostalgia seemed to be the only one that the public ever talked about and enjoyed. “I’d like to think of Nostalgia as my business card, but unfortunately it got too big that it kept people from seeing the real me,” Yu once said. Writing poems is only one of Yu’s many talents. And he used his talents well. He spent his whole life working, even in his 80s. To him, writing was an important part of life that shouldn’t be affected by age or anything else. 61. Yu Guangzhong was _________ years old when he passed away. He is a famous _________. 62.
