B Chinese writer Ai Wei's new novel An Everlasting Life recently came out in China in July,2021.  The novel describes an irresponsible（不负责任的）mother",who is a famous star of Shaoxing Opera, a popular Chinese opera. Although she is successful on the stage.she doesn't want to take her responsibility(责任) as a mother until she grows old and becomes badly ill.  Ai wanted to create this story about 10 years ago when he happened to hear the story of his friend. His friend had a hard relationship with her mother.“In Chinese culture we think of mothers as the symbol of love, kindness and contribution(奉献）.But in fact mothers have their personalities(个性) and not all of them are perfect. I wanted to write about an irresponsible mother and her feelings,"says Ai.  “I also wanted to show that a broken family may have a lot of problems but the family members still experience many things together.I believe it is the most touching moment of human life.”  He started to write the novel not long after he knew about his friend's story.but stopped when he found it too hard to continue. He took up writing it again last year,and finally completed it in 2021. The novel will be adapted(改编) into a film. 24.What is the mother in the novel An Everlasting Life? A. A famous writer. B. A poor worker. C. An opera star. 25.From the novel we know the mother_____. A. cares little about her children B. gets popular all over the world C. makes a lot of money all her life 26.Who gave Ai Wei the idea for writing the novel? A. His mother. B. His friend. C. A character in a movie. 27. Why did AiWei write An Everlasting Life? A. To adapt a story for a film. B. To show a different Chinese mother. C. To describe what Chinese mothers are like. C A long time ago, people were very different from the way we are now. For example, if you find a really old house somewhere, you'll see that the doors are usually much lower than they are today. Why? Because hundreds of years ago, people were shorter. Over time, the human body has changed a lot. Can we expect the human body to keep changing in the future? That's for sure. And the main reason is that we have more and more technologies (技术), and those technologies are changing how we live. Here are some possible changes. In the future, people will probably be even taller. Most of us now have much better food than people in the past, so we grow more. Then we will become taller and taller. Our muscles (肌肉) will not be as strong as now, because we won't do lots of physical work. We are already using our feet less and our hands more. So we can expect that our legs will get shorter and our feet will get smaller. At the same time, our fingers (手指) will get longer. What's more, our fingers and eyes will both get better, because they will have to do more work together. What about the mouth? It'll get smaller, because we needn't talk so much with the help of technology. Will all these things happen? And if so, when? 28．What did people look like hundreds of years ago? A．They were taller. B．They were shorter. C．They were fatter. 29．Why will our muscles be weaker (更虚弱的) in the future? A．Because we will eat less food. B．Because we will sleep fewer hours. C．Because we will do less physical work. 30．What is the fifth paragraph about? A．How our mouth will change in the future. B．Why we needn't talk so much in the future. C．Who we will mainly talk with in the future. 31．Why does the writer write the passage? A．To tell us people's poor life in the past. B．To tell us some possible changes of human body in the future C．To tell us what the old houses looked like in the past. 第二节 (共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分) It is Sunday morning.

But on the morning of a sunny day, the four friends got into a big fight because of a small thing. They all thought their own ideas were right and didn't agree with each other's opinions.

He thought that this might be a good chance to kill the sheep and enjoy a good meal. He hunted（狩猎） the four sheep and killed them one by one until there were none left. The story tells us something important: there is strength（力量） in numbers. This is true even for humans.60.

Although she is successful on the stage.she doesn't want to take her responsibility(责任) as a mother until she grows old and becomes badly ill.  Ai wanted to create this story about 10 years ago when he happened to hear the story of his friend. His friend had a hard relationship with her mother.“In Chinese culture we think of mothers as the symbol of love, kindness and contribution(奉献）.But in fact mothers have their personalities(个性) and not all of them are perfect. I wanted to write about an irresponsible mother and her feelings,"says Ai.  “I also wanted to show that a broken family may have a lot of problems but the family members still experience many things together.I believe it is the most touching moment of human life.”  He started to write the novel not long after he knew about his friend's story.but stopped when he found it too hard to continue. He took up writing it again last year,and finally completed it in 2021. The novel will be adapted(改编) into a film. 24.What is the mother in the novel An Everlasting Life? A. A famous writer. B.

A character in a movie. 27. Why did AiWei write An Everlasting Life? A. To adapt a story for a film. B. To show a different Chinese mother. C. To describe what Chinese mothers are like. 【答案】 本文介绍了作家艾伟的新小说《过往》的故事梗概、创作灵感及故事所表达的社会意义等。答案详析 24.C 细节理解题。由第二段第一句“The novel describes an irresponsible mother  who is a famous star of Shaoxing Opera, a popular Chinese opera.”可知，《过往》中的母亲是一名越剧明星。 25.A 推理判断题。由第二段中的“she doesn't want to take her responsibility as a mother until she grows old and becomes badly ill”可知，这位母亲直到年老病重才想承担作为母亲的责任。由此可推断，她很少关心自己的孩子。 26. B 细节理解题。由第三段第一句“Ai wanted to create this story...when he happened to hear the story of his friend.”可知，《过往》取材于艾伟的朋友的故事，艾伟的朋友给了他写作灵感。 27.B 推理判断题。由第三段中艾伟说的话“In Chinese culture we think of mothers as...I wanted to write about an irresponsible mother and her feelings”可知，艾伟写这部小说的原因是他想要展现一个与中国传统母亲不同的形象。 C A long time ago, people were very different from the way we are now. For example, if you find a really old house somewhere, you'll see that the doors are usually much lower than they are today. Why? Because hundreds of years ago, people were shorter. Over time, the human body has changed a lot. Can we expect the human body to keep changing in the future? That's for sure.
