A dragon-shaped bronze statue (青铜像) with a “tiger” head and tiger brain was discovered at the Sanxingdui Ruins (遗址) Site in Guanghan, Sichuan Province. This kind of object has never been found in other sites of the Bronze Age in China.
The shape of this dragon is a bit special as its head is like a tiger’s head, and its ears are round like those of a tiger. But it has two long horns (犄角) on its head. Its mouth is also special with something like a knife in it. And its body is like a flying dragon.
According to reports, this statue is about 80 cm high, but it’s still not a complete bronze. Experts have found that this statue has no supports in front of it, and its main body exceeds (超出) the base. So it probably needs to lean (倚靠) on other objects to keep its balance (平衡).
So where is the missing part? After searching, experts made another great discovery about half a meter away: the top-shaped snake-like figure (雕像). The 1.5-meter-high body is supported on a square base with both hands, and turns upward. It also needs to lean on other object to keep balance.
Now some experts guess that the two statues are probably the same set of objects. If the guess proves to be true, this will become another huge Sanxingdui Ruins Site since the late 1920s. It all began in 1929 when a farmer was digging a hole there and it opened the door to an unknown culture of 3,000 to 5,000 years old.
14. What can we know about the bronze statue?
A. Its shape is like a tiger.
B. There are two long horns on its mouth.
C. It has been found in another sites of the Bronze Age in China.
D. It was found at the Sanxingdui Ruins Site in Guanghan, Sichuan Province.
15. Why does the statue need to lean on other objects according to the experts?
A. Because its main body is too long.
B. Because it has to keep its balance.
C. Because it has supports behind it.
D. Because it is an independent bronze.
16. What can we infer from the experts’ guess?
A. The missing part of the dragon-shaped is probably the snake-like figure.
B. The snake-like figure is the first bronze that has been found at Sanxingdui Ruins Site.
C The snake-like figure is quite different from the tiger-shaped figure.
D. More than 50,000 ancient objects have been found at the Sanxingdui Ruins Site.
17. What is the main idea of this passage?
A The guess of some experts about the bronze statue.
B The missing part of a dragon-shaped bronze statue.
C. The discovery of a dragon-shaped bronze statue.
D. The discovery of Chinese unknown culture.

Work on one problem at a time.

Be polite to your parents.
____20____ During conflicts, or at any other time, you should treat your parents with respect. You should make an effort not to say bad things to your parents even during the heat of an argument or disagreement.
Use “I” messages.
By using “I” messages, you are telling your parents how their behavior makes you feel, instead of blaming. This classic method that begin with “I” rather than “you” builds relationship of understanding. ____21____ So instead of saying “You need to stop shouting at me”, you’d say, “I feel sad when you are shouting at me because I am trying to fully understand what you are saying.”
A. Look for creative ways to solve problems.

阅读材料,将各小题中关于梦想的问题与A-E梦想的具体内容进行匹配,并将答题卡上对应题目所选的选项涂黑。
____22____ What can dreams be?
____23____ What does the writer tell us about dreams?
____24____ What is the biggest challenge?
____25____ What can stop you?
____26____ What should you always tell yourself?
A. As teenagers, you have many dreams. The dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize. Or they can be very small, and you may just want to become one of the best students in your class.
B. Follow Your Heart by the Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams real is life’s biggest challenge. But don’t let your dreams be dreams. As you get closer to your dream, you can have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests.
C. You may think you’re not good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of ideas stop you from getting your dream. In fact, everyone can make his dream come true.
D. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Dreams won’t come true themselves. As for us, what matters most is to take action. Because action is to dreams what oars to ships. Do this step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is in fact many small dreams.
E. You must never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results. And saving five Yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.

Chinese calligraphy is an important part of traditional Chinese culture. It is a traditional form of writing characters from the Chinese language through the use of ink and a brush. It is a tradition that is rooted in China through centuries of practice. Calligraphy started in China and spread to other parts of Asia with Chinese culture. It has a history of 4,000 to 5,000 years. Calligraphy is the art of writing Chinese characters (汉字) and rules of writing with a brush. When you practice calligraphy, it is important to pay attention to the changes of the strokes (笔画) and the spaces between characters.
There are many famous calligraphers in history, such as Wang Xizhi and Yan Zhenqing. Different calligraphy works can show different calligraphers’ feelings and personalities. Today, they can be seen on the walls of offices, shops, hotels and many other places.
“If I live in China, I will become a calligrapher rather than a painter for sure,” the world-famous master of art, Picasso said. He fell in love with Chinese calligraphy as soon as he saw Zhang Daqian’s works.
The tool for practicing calligraphy is calligraphy brushes. They are usually made from the hair of different animals. Practicing calligraphy takes a lot of time and many people take lessons to learn it. During the lessons, they can learn how to write different strokes of Chinese characters. If you’re interested in it, you may start practicing with a teacher right away.
Calligraphy, an amazing traditional art form, shows the love that all Chinese people have for culture and beauty. Chinese people of all ages practice calligraphy often, not to be a calligrapher, but to enjoy the peaceful mind.

____22____ What can dreams be?
____23____ What does the writer tell us about dreams?
____24____ What is the biggest challenge?
____25____ What can stop you?
____26____ What should you always tell yourself?
A. As teenagers, you have many dreams. The dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize. Or they can be very small, and you may just want to become one of the best students in your class.
B. Follow Your Heart by the Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams real is life’s biggest challenge. But don’t let your dreams be dreams. As you get closer to your dream, you can have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests.
C. You may think you’re not good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of ideas stop you from getting your dream. In fact, everyone can make his dream come true.
D. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Dreams won’t come true themselves. As for us, what matters most is to take action. Because action is to dreams what oars to ships. Do this step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is in fact many small dreams.
E. You must never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results. And saving five Yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.

The tool for practicing calligraphy is calligraphy brushes. They are usually made from the hair of different animals. Practicing calligraphy takes a lot of time and many people take lessons to learn it. During the lessons, they can learn how to write different strokes of Chinese characters. If you’re interested in it, you may start practicing with a teacher right away.

【答案】例文
Dear Jack,
I know that you will be invited to your Chinese classmate’s home. Here are some suggestions for you.
First of all, you are expected to arrive a little earlier or on time. In China, being late is impolite. Moreover, it’s also good to bring a gift such as some flowers or fruit. What’s more, you will probably use chopsticks to have dinner. Do remember not to stick your chopsticks into your food. You aren’t supposed to point at anyone with your chopsticks. Another thing is that you aren’t expected to use your chopsticks to hit an empty bowl. You’d better say that the food is delicious while you are eating. Finally, after dinner, showing thanks is also necessary. And you are not supposed to stay long after dinner.
Good luck and have a great time!
Yours,
Li Hua
