Kites have been flown in Japan for hundreds of years.In the 1700s,kites were flown in autumn to give thanks for a good harvest.They were also flown to send good wishes to couples who had their first son.Today in Japan,kites are often flown as part of a celebration,such as the beginning of a new year.And kite festivals are held each year in many parts of the country. Kites have been used for scientific purposes in the western world.In 1752,Benjamin Franklin tied a key to a kite and flew it in a storm to find out that lightening was a form of electricity.In the 1890s,Lawrence Hargrave invented the box kite to test ideas about flight.From 1898 until 1933,the United States Weather Bureau(气象局)used box kites to collect weather data. The Wright brothers also experimented(试验)with kites.What they learnt helped them make the first airplane flight in 1903. 56.Why did Han Xin want to dig a tunnel? A.To pull down the palace. B.To fight against the king. C.To search for the king's treasure. D.To find out the length of the kite string. 57.What does the underlined word“determine ”in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A.In 1752. B.In 1898. C.In 1903. D.In 1933. 60.What would be the best title for the text? A.The History of Kites B.The Experiments of Kites C.The Invention of a Kite D.The First Record of a Kite B Zigong,in Sichuan Province,is home to Chinese lanterns.Zigong lantern is known as the best lantern in the world.The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty.The festival has rapidly developed with traditional culture and modern technologies.In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage(国家级非物质文化遗产),becoming a shining name card for Chinese culture to go out into the world. “Making a huge lantern for exhibition requires 17 steps,”said Wan Songtao,an inheritor(传承人)of Zigong lantern-making.“Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker.”Wan added.The sundial(日晷),a kind of lantern,made by Wan's team, for example,took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process.Unlike the lanterns in other places,Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as Al,mechanical engineering(机械工程),and holography(全息摄影术).They are perfect combinations(结合)of lights,sounds and movements. What's more,the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways.“Anything that can be designed on a lantern can make a wonderful show,and everyone is encouraged to tum their ideas into real works,”said Zhang Fanglai,a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China.And the rich themes of Zigong lanterns show the spirit of creativity and warmth from the bottom of the local people's heart. The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely.Without doubt,at the heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival's success is the local tradition of pulling together.Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular.Driven by the collective efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries.It's believed that Zigong lanterns will reach every corner of the world in the future. 61.Which of the following poets could probably enjoy Zigong lanterns? A.Cao Cao. B.Li Bai. C.Tao Yuanming. D.Cao Zhi. 62.What can we infer(推断)from Paragraph 2? ① Holography is a kind of traditional technology. ②It's hard for makers to complete a huge lantern for exhibition. ③Zigong lanters are different from the lanterns in other places ④The workers of Zigong lantern making work together in a team.

C.The rich themes of Zigong lanterns. D.The moden technologies of Zigong lanterns. 64.What does the underlined word“they”in Paragraph 4 refer to? A.Zigong lanterns. B.People in Zigong.

C Antonio Young used to be a newspaper reporter 5 years ago.Now he is 29 years and has become a primary school teacher.And he inspires(激励)students with his love of music,working together with his sixth graders to deal with topics like Black History Month,bullying(欺凌)and even STAAR testing with music videos. “I knew that I was going to have to be more than just a teacher,”Young said."I knew that I had to be their role model.Once I realized that I could be myself and bring what I already had, because I've been rapping(说唱音乐)for 15 years,that everything just made sense.It's more than just helping students remember facts with rap lyrics.It's about can we come together and create something magical to inspire someone.” Young and a team of sixth grade students at Ellis Primary School in Arlington spend months writing and producing music videos.From finding motivation(动力)in school to learning about African American pioneers or preventing bullying,the topic isn't as important as the process(过 程). “It's great,”said Jane Kelly,one of Young's students.“Doing that stuff makes me more interested in class because he always brings up the rap video or something.” Young hopes the music continues to inspire his students to never give up.The success stories of his former students keep him going. “Mr Young,I'm going to college and I want to be a teacher just like you,and I want to be a teacher that works in urban communities because I know they need my help and I wouldn't have done it,without you,”said another student of Young's. 66.The topics Young and his students deal with cover ①bullying ②STAAR testing ③music videos ④ Black History Month A.①②④ B.①②③ C.②③④ D.①③④ 67.Young started rapping when he was about A.5.

D.If it helps with the students'study. 69.We can learn from Young's students'words that A.many students are in great need of help B.not all of his students enjoyed his work C.his work has influenced them a lot D.Young is a teacher with a lot of imagination 70.What is the best title for the passage? A.Rapping helps improve students'grades B.A teacher inspires his students with music C.A teacher spreads knowledge with music D.Rapping gets popular among students D Taking Root We all know that there are a great number of different plants in the world.But how many kinds of plants are there exactly in the world?Lucy Braun wondered that as a child.She showed a great interest in plants when she was just a little child.She often had energetic walks with herfamily through the nearby woods. Some plants and wildflowers seemed to shout at her with their wild colors. Others hid behind rocks. Lucy looked at the shapes of different leaves while she was walking in the woods.She kept a record of what she saw.She also learnt to draw what she saw so that she could compare all kinds ofplants.Later.Lucy grew more and more interested in botany, the study of plants. Branching Out While she was at university,Lucy took classes in geology,or the study of rocks and minerals.Her work with geologists changed how she looked at the natural world.She continued her studies in botany as well.Lucy also took classes in ecology(生态学).She believed that plant life in some areas was able to move to other places over time In Full Bloom In 1917,Lucy began to teach botany at a university.She lived in a house near the woods,Lucy collected plants from all around the country.She took many photos of them,too.Colour photography was still new then.Because of that, people enjoyed her lessons and photos very much. The ▲ of Labour(劳动) Later in her life,Lucy wrote many field guides.In 1950,she published her most important guide.It describes the plants in the forests all over the country. Ecologists still use it to study changes in the forests over time. Today,Lucy has a few plants named after her.One of them is Lucy Braun's snakeroot(蛇根草),which is now in danger.Lucy's work in the protection of nature may help prevent its disappearance. Lucy Braun lived to be 81.In her years as a botanist,Lucy collected nearly 12,000 plants! 71.What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph 1? A.The plants seemed to be angry with Lucy. B.The plants could talk just like humans. C.The plants appeared to be full of life. D.The plants were looked after well by Lucy. 72.What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?

Make better plans It's better for you to make a plan before you start to do something.The earlier,the better. You will know what comes first and what comes last.You'll also know what you should do and what you shouldn't do.When changes happen,you may have more time to deal with them. Live a more active life You can go around more often.More outdoor activities can keep you relaxed and active. You also need to be kind.“Thank you”can bring a smile to someone's face.Learn to say“sorry”and don't show your anger to others. Find the right friend A friend may make your life good and he or she can break your life as well,so you have to think twice when you choose a friend.Good friends will always be better than your ideas. When you get into trouble,they are ready to offer you a helping hand,no matter how much time or energy this may take them.Their help may bring you good results. Never fear failure Everybody fails.Even the greatest person failed.We should not fear failure,because failure is common in everyone's life and we can always learn something from failure. Life is so wonderful.We don't have to live in our past,but we do hope that we can plan better,live better,and work better when we have the chance to do so. 6、 综合填空 根据短文内容，在空白处填上适当单词，使短文完整、通顺。给出单词的 空格不限一词，没有给出单词的空格限一词。(共10空；每空1.5分，满分15分) In 2023,China's then-UN representative(代表)had a message to share:stay together, 86 everything will fall apart(破裂).To make his point clear,he showed a Luban lock.The lock had six pieces;if you pulled,it all 87 (fall) apart.

Han Xin, the leader of an army, wanted to bring down a king. He decided to dig a tunnel (隧道) into the king’s palace. He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure the length (长度) of its string (线). In this way, he could determine how long the tunnel should be. His men in the tunnel took the kite string with them. When they reached the end of the string, they knew to dig up. Kites have been flown in Japan for hundreds of years. In the 1700s, kites were flown in autumn to give thanks for a good harvest. They were also flown to send good wishes to couples who had their first son. Today in Japan, kites are often flown as part of a celebration, such as the beginning of a new year. And kite festivals are held each year in many parts of the country. Kites have been used for scientific purposes in the western world. In 1752, Benjamin Franklin tied a key to a kite and flew it in a storm to find out that lightening was a form of electricity. In the 1890s, Lawrence Hargrave invented the box kite to test ideas about flight. From 1898 until 1933, the United States Weather Bureau (气象局) used box kites to collect weather data. The Wright brothers also experimented (试验) with kites. What they learnt helped them make the first airplane flight in 1903. 56. Why did Han Xin want to dig a tunnel? A. To pull down the palace. B. To fight against the king. C. To search for the king’s treasure. D. To find out the length of the kite string. 57. What does the underlined word “determine” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Notice. B. Control. C. Discuss. D. Know. 58. One of the purposes of flying kites in Japan is ________. A. to give thanks for a good harvest in summer B. to express good wishes to the first-born daughter C to celebrate the beginning of a new year D. to hold kite festivals all over the country 59. When did the United States Weather Bureau begin to use box kites? A. In 1752. B. In 1898. C. In 1903. D. In 1933. 60. What would be the best title for the text? A. The History of Kites B. The Experiments of Kites C The Invention of a Kite D. The First Record of a Kite B Zigong, in Sichuan Province is home to Chinese lanterns. Zigong lantern is known as the best lantern in the world. The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty. The festival has rapidly developed with traditional culture and modern technologies. In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage(国家级非物质文化遗产), becoming a shining name card for Chinese culture to go out into the world. “Making a huge lantern for exhibition requires 17 steps,” said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. “Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker.” Wan added. The sundial (日晷), a kind of lantern, made by Wan’s team, for example, took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process. Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering (机械工程), and holography (全息摄影术). They are perfect combinations (结合) of lights, sounds and movements. What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. “Anything that can be designed on a lantern can make a wonderful show, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into real works,” said Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China. And the rich themes of Zigong lanterns show the spirit of creativity and warmth from the bottom of the local people’s heart. The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely. Without doubt, at the heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is the local tradition of pulling together. Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the collective efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries. It’s believed that Zigong lanterns will reach every corner of the world in the future. 61. Which of the following poets could probably enjoy Zigong lanterns? A. Cao Cao. B. Li Bai. C. Tao Yuanming. D. Cao Zhi. 62.

A ①②③ B. ①④ C. ②③④ D. ②③ 63. According to the passage, what’s Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The rich themes of Zigong lanterns. B. The long history of Zigong lanterns. C. The excellent inheritors of Zigong lanterns. D. The modern technologies of Zigong lanterns. 64. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. People in Zigong. B. Zigong lanterns.

C Antonio Young used to be a newspaper reporter 5 years ago. Now he is 29 years and has become a primary school teacher. And he inspires (激励) students with his love of music, working together with his sixth graders to deal with topics like Black History Month, bullying (欺凌) and even STAAR testing with music videos. “I knew that I was going to have to be more than just a teacher,” Young said. “I knew that I had to be their role model. Once I realized that I could be myself and bring what I already had, because I’ve been rapping (说唱音乐) for 15 years, that everything just made sense. It’s more than just helping students remember facts with rap lyrics. It’s about can we come together and create something magical to inspire someone.” Young and a team of sixth grade students at Ellis Primary School in Arlington spend months writing and producing music videos. From finding motivation (动力) in school to learning about African American pioneers or preventing bullying, the topic isn’t as important as the process (过程). “It’s great,” said Jane Kelly, one of Young’s students. “Doing that stuff makes me more interested in class because he always brings up the rap video or something.” Young hopes the music continues to inspire his students to never give up. The success stories of his former students keep him going. “Mr. Young, I’m going to college and I want to be a teacher just like you, and I want to be a teacher that works in urban communities because I know they need my help and I wouldn’t have done it, without you,” said another student of Young’s. 66. The topics Young and his students deal with cover ________. ①bullying ②STAAR testing ③music videos ④Black History Month A. ①②④ B. ①②③ C. ②③④ D. ①③④ 67. Young started rapping when he was about ________. A. 5 B. 29 C. 15 D. 14 68. What might Young care most when creating the music? A. What topic it is about. B. If the students enjoy the process. C. What the students can get from it. D. If it helps with the students’ study. 69. We can learn from Young’s students’ words that ________. A. many students are in great need of help B. not all of his students enjoyed his work C. his work has influenced them a lot D. Young is a teacher with a lot of imagination 70. What is the best title for the passage? A. Rapping helps improve students’ grades. B. A teacher inspires his students with music. C. A teacher spreads knowledge with music. D. Rapping gets popular among students. D Taking Root We all know that there are a great number of different plants in the world. But how many kinds of plants are there exactly in the world? Lucy Braun wondered that as a child. She showed a great interest in plants when she was just a little child. She often had energetic walks with her family through the nearby woods. Some plants and wildflowers seemed to shout at her with their wild colors. Others hid behind rocks. Lucy looked at the shapes of different leaves while she was walking in the woods. She kept a record of what she saw. She also learnt to draw what she saw so that she could compare all kinds of plants. Later. Lucy grew more and more interested in botany, the study of plants. Branching Out While she was at university, Lucy took classes in geology, or the study of rocks and minerals. Her work with geologists changed how she looked at the natural world. She continued her studies in botany as well. Lucy also took classes in ecology (生态学). She believed that plant life in some areas was able to move to other places over time. In Full Bloom In 1917, Lucy began to teach botany at a university. She lived in a house near the woods, Lucy collected plants from all around the country. She took many photos of them, too. Colour photography was still new then. Because of that, people enjoyed her lessons and photos very much. The ▲ of Labour (劳动) Later in her life, Lucy wrote many field guides. In 1950, she published her most important guide. It describes the plants in the forests all over the country. Ecologists still use it to study changes in the forests over time. Today, Lucy has a few plants named after her. One of them is Lucy Braun’s snakeroot (蛇根草), which is now in danger. Lucy’s work in the protection of nature may help prevent its disappearance. Lucy Braun lived to be 81. In her years as a botanist, Lucy collected nearly 12,000 plants! 71. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1? A. The plants seemed to be angry with Lucy. B. The plants could talk just like humans. C. The plants appeared to be full of life. D. The plants were looked after well by Lucy. 72. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A. The reason why Lucy liked plants. B. The time when Lucy noticed plants. C. The special plants Lucy collected. D. The way Lucy studied plants. 73. What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “botany” in Paragraph 2? A. 生物 B. 生物学 C. 植物学 D. 植物学家 74. Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in the last part? A. Causes B. Fruits C. Flowers D. Records 75. What can be the best title for the passage? A. The Story of a Great Scientist B. The Collection of the Plants C. The Protection of the Plants D. The Lesson by a Scientist 第二部分 非选择题（55分） 五、任务型阅读（共10空；每空1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在表格空白处填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每空只填一个单词。 Life is filled with regrets (遗憾、后悔). Anyone around you will have no difficulty telling his regrets. As we get older, we look back and wish that we had made better choices. What can we do to avoid future regrets? Make better plans It’s better for you to make a plan before you start to do something. The earlier, the better. You will know what comes first and what comes last. You’ll also know what you should do and what you shouldn’t do. When changes happen, you may have more time to deal with them. Live a more active life You can go around more often. More outdoor activities can keep you relaxed and active. You also need to be kind. “Thank you” can bring a smile to someone’s face. Learn to say “sorry” and don’t show your anger to others. Find the right friend A friend may make your life good and he or she can break your life as well, so you have to think twice when you choose a friend. Good friends will always be better than your ideas. When you get into trouble, they are ready to offer you a helping hand, no matter how much time or energy this may take them. Their help may bring you good results. Never fear failure Everybody fails. Even the greatest person failed. We should not fear failure, because failure is common in everyone’s life and we can always learn something from failure. Life is so wonderful. We don’t have to live in our past, but we do hope that we can plan better, live better, and work better when we have the chance to do so.
