This day is always the first full moon in the new year. Ancient people also called it Shangyuan Festival. Celebrations and traditions on this day began from the Han Dynasty（朝代）and became popular in the Tang Dynasty.     Watching the red lanterns is one of the main traditions. Lanterns of different shapes and sizes are usually put on trees, or along river banks on show. It is said that sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming to ask for help when he was in trouble. Today, when the lanterns slowly rise into the air, people make wishes.     Another tradition is guessing lantern riddles. The riddles are usually short, wise, and sometimes humorous. The answer to a riddle can be a Chinese character（汉字）, a famous person’s name, or a place name.     The most important thing is to eat sweet dumplings with different tastes. In northern China, they are called yuanxiao while in southern part they’re named tangyuan. Because making sweet dumplings is like a game or an activity, they are usually done happily by a group of friends or family members.     In old times, the Lantern Festival was also romantic（浪漫的）. Watching lanterns gave young people a chance to meet each other. Lines from Xin Qiji, a poet during the Song Dynasty, show this:     Hundreds and thousands of times I searched for her in the crowd. Suddenly I turned, and there she stood, in the dim（昏暗的）light. 16.The traditional festival talked about in this passage is called “__________” in Chinese.

When Nightingale was 17, she told her family that she was going to help sick people. Her parents did not agree, but Nightingale was determined (已下决心的) .     She travelled to hospitals all over the Europe. She saw that doctors were working too hard. She saw that patients died because they did not get enough care. Nightingale felt that women could do more to help doctors take care of sick people.     Nightingale knew that in order to do more as a nurse, she needed special training in how to take care of sick people. Nightingale went to a hospital in Germany to study nursing. Then she returned to London and became the head of a group of women called Gentlewomen During Illness. These women cared for sick people in their homes.     In 1854, England was fighting a war with Russia. War reporters wrote about the terrible conditions in the hospitals. People demanded that something be done about it. A leader of the government asked Florence Nightingale to take some nurses into the hospitals. In November 1854, Nightingale finally got to work in a hospital.     She took 38 nurses who she had trained herself along. At first, the doctors on the battlefield didn't want Nightingale and her nurses in their hospitals. They didn't believe that women could help. But in fact, the nurses did make a difference. They worked around the clock, tending the sick. Thanks to their hard work, many  wounded soldiers survived.     After the war, Nightingale and her nurses were treated like heroes. Finally, in 1860, she started the Nightingale School of Nursing. Thanks to Florence Nightingale, nursing became an important part of medicine. 21.Florence Nightingale was born into a rich ​       .

One evening my father brought my brother and me to pick up our mother. We arrived at the Eagles Hall and were waiting in the truck when my father smelled something. He looked behind our truck and could see smoke coming from a house, a block behind us. He drove quickly to the house. The smoke was thick, and we saw fire when he opened the door and went inside. He came out with a woman and rushed back in for her children. He didn't stop until all the children were out. When the firemen arrived we went back to get my mother. My father didn't even mention it to Mom. We had to tell her what we had seen. My father said that nothing much happened and not to worry. The next day, it was reported in the newspaper that the people in the house were trying to find my father to thank him. My father just said they had more important things to care about. My father has a metal detector. He used it all over the town, in fields, bus stations, parks—almost everywhere. He found countless amounts of change, jewelry, and junk. The most valuable thing he found was a pure gold nursing pin, a badge(徽章)given to nurses when they graduated. There was a name on it, and a date in the early 1920s. Dad did some research and learned that the owner was now in a nursing home several hundred miles away. The next Sunday he drove to see her. She was overjoyed. The pin had been lost for over 50 years. The woman asked my father how much he wanted for the pin and he refused any reward. But the woman became upset that he would accept nothing, so he compromisedby accepting gas money for the trip—though I am sure that he didn't tell her how much the drive really cost. Any one of these events makes my dad a hero, but he never stops. I've learned from him that being a hero means doing whatever you can whenever you can. 26.What happened when they were waiting in the truck? A. Their father quickly drove the truck away. B. Their father opened the door and went into the truck. C. A house behind their truck was on fire. D. The firemen came out with a woman. 27.What did the owner of the house want to do according the report? A. She wanted to tell the writer's mother about it. B. She wanted to find the writer's father to thank him. C. She wanted to rebuild her house. D. She wanted to mention it to the firemen. 28.What did his father use to find the nursing pin? A. A metal detector. B. The local Eagles. C. The badges given to nurses. D. The report in the newspaper. 29.What does the underlined word "compromised" mean in Chinese? A. 连累 B. 折中 C. 违背 D. 妥协 30.What can we learn from the passage? A. In time of danger, think of your own safety first. B. No pains, no gains. C. Being a hero means doing what you can at any time. D. To help others is to help ourselves. 第II卷（非选择题） 三、任务型阅读-多任务混合：本大题共1小题，共10分。 31.The sentences parents use with their kids are powerful. However, many parents donˈt know how to use the proper sentences. Here are some sentences that kids need to hear.      (1)      Many kids are happy to let Mum or Dad do everything for them, such as cutting up food, getting something to drink or putting on clothes. Parents should often tell their kids, "You can do it. I know you can do it." Or just "Do it yourself!" Some parents might think itˈs harsh*, but it can push kids to learn things faster.      (2)      For these lucky ones, there are plenty of toys and snacks. These kids donˈt know how to cherish what they have. Just run out of one thing every week. Orange juice, cereal*—whatever. Tell them "Weˈre all out" and donˈt rush to the store to replace it. Let them understand itˈs normal to lack something.      (3)      Parents should not feel sorry if they are not able to buy anything or everything for their kids. Just because you want something does not mean you can have it. This is what kids should know well of. Itˈs best to learn this lesson from an early age.      (4)      Many parents would tell kids not to talk to strangers. It suggests that everyone is a possible bad guy. Kids may choose not to ask for help when they really need it. Instead, tell them not to go off with strangers, no matter how nice they seem. It will keep them safe in a better way. A．"We canˈt afford that." B．"You can do it." C．"Weˈre all out." D．"Be kind and brave." E．"Donˈt go off with strangers." (1) A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E (2) A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E (3) A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E (4) A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E (5) Please think of another sentence that kids need to hear. ______________________________________________________________________________ 四、阅读填空：本大题共1小题，共10分。 32.In 1979, Steve Jobs visited the Palo Alto Research Centre of the tech company Xerox in California.

One possible version: I Like the Spring Festival Best My favourite traditional Chinese festival is the Spring Festival. It is the most important festival in China. It falls on the first day of the lunar year. Before the festival comes, people clean and decorate their houses. One of the traditions is pasting the Spring Festival couplets. On New Yearˈs Eve, we usually eat dumplings, a traditional food for the Spring Festival. After dinner, we watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV. Staying-up is also a tradition in China. When the clock strikes 12 at midnight, we usually set off fireworks to welcome the New Year. In short, the Spring Festival is a special day for families to get together and share happiness and love. I always have a good time on that day. 第1页，共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
