B Gordon Williams’s hobby may seem strange to people when they meet it for the first time. But it is a traditional craft (手艺). He builds model ships inside old bottles. Gordon has always loved ships, especially sailing ships from the old days. His interest in this hobby began many years ago when he visited a museum in Ottawa, Canada, where there was a show of model ships in bottles. Gordon thought the show was wonderful. But he wondered how the craftsman got the ship through the thin neck of the bottle. Gordon decided to find it out. He found an old master craftsman who was willing to teach him the necessary skills. First, Gordon takes an old bottle. Then he puts in a layer of putty (一层油灰), carefully shaped and painted it look like the sea. Next, he builds the ship. To get the ship through the neck of the bottle, Gordon holds down the masts (桅杆). Once the ship is inside the bottle, he takes a long, thin tool to raise the masts. Gordon has completed well over one hundred models. His wish is to build bigger model ships, such as aircraft carriers. This will be more challenging (挑战的), as he will have to build the ship actually inside the bottle. His hobby certainly needs time, patience and a steady hand. 39. What do people think of Gordon’s hobby when people first meet it? A. Unusual. B. Useful. C. Interesting. D. Traditional. 40. Which of the following pictures shows the last step of Gordon’s work? 41. Gordon’s new plan is more challenging because he will _. A. make an aircraft carrier B. build more than one hundred ships C. put a bigger model ship inside the bottle D. build a bigger model ship inside the bottle C Drones are a kind of machine that can fly. They’re becoming more and more popular and are widely used in many areas. People use a computer to control this flying machine. Drones can do many things for us, like carrying things, taking pictures, and following animals that are in danger. Some people say this special machine will change our life as much as the computer does. In Brazil, farmers use drones to watch their crops. Brazil has quite a few large farms. On these farms, people find it difficult to look after all the crops. Drones can help farmers to find out if the crops are ill. They also help farmers use fewer farm chemicals. This can help the environment and save much money. Drones can also help to find lost people. If people are lost, who are far from home, police can use drones to find them. A 92-year-old man in Virginia was lost and had to spend a night in the woods. Luckily, the drone found him in 20 minutes. He was finally saved by the police. Drones can even serve people coffee. US company IBM has made this kind of drone. It can carry coffee to those in need. The drone can know when to bring a cup of coffee by studying a person’s habits. Then, the drone will fly to the person. There is a special device (设备) under the drone. It helps the drone to give people the coffee. The drone can also predict when someone needs their next cup of coffee. 42. In Paragraph 1, the writer tells us the wide use of drones in the passage by _. A. giving examples B. listing numbers C. answering questions D. using famous sayings 43. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Drones are more useful than computers. B. Drones don’t need anyone to control them. C. Drones can look for things that are lost. D. Drones can help people look after the crops. 44. How many things drones can help us do are mentioned (提及) in the passage? A. Three B. Four C. Five D. Six 45. What is the right structure of the passage? D Success does not belong to a select group of individuals (个人). Success belongs to those who are willing to go after it and try their best to do what they have to do. Here are some useful practical ways for you if you want to be a success. Desire. Desire is the strong wish to achieve a goal. Without desire you have nothing. Before you can run with desire, your goal must be plain, clear, and it must also be exciting. Show up. Seventy percent of success in life is showing up. You can’t have a best seller, if you have never written a book. You can’t get your dream job, if you’re afraid to turn in an application. Showing up doesn’t guarantee (保证) success, but if you don’t show up, you won’t succeed. Fail. Unless you’re willing to have a try, fail unhappily, and have another try, success won’t happen. To have success you have to do the things right way, but often the only way to do something right is to first fail at it. As Thomas J. Watson said, a simple formula (公式) for success is to double your rate of failure (失败). So welcome failure, become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed. Work Harder. Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day. Success is not about doing what the common person can’t do. It’s about doing what the common person is unwilling to do. And on a deeper level, it’s about creating habits that the common person is unwilling to create. It’s the habit of doing things with excellence that causes success. Enjoy the Journey. Success is a journey, not a destination (终点). Success is not a certain car or a certain house or a certain happy marriage. Success is the enjoyment of the journey. You have to enjoy the journey. Someone once said, “Unless you change how you are, you will always have what you’ve got.” You have to change...you will change, you will succeed. 46. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in achieving success? A. Working hard. B. Good education. C. Strong desire. D. Enjoying failure. 47. What does the writer really mean by saying “Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day.”? A. It’s not easy for people to develop their health. B. You are sure to meet with some difficulty in your life. C. Keeping working harder is necessary when you go after success. D. Most people don’t want to spend too much time running. 48. What does the writer mostly want to tell us in the fourth paragraph? A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Many hands make light work. C. Every dog has its day. D. Actions speak louder than words. 49. Which of the following is TRUE about success according to the passage? A. If you want to succeed, you should have special talents. B. If you want to succeed, you’d better not show up. C. Success is about doing what the common person can’t do. D. Success means the enjoyment of your gain or loss on the journey. 50. The best title of the passage might be _. A. The Importance of Success B. The Meaning of Success C. Success or Failure D.

Those sitting in front of the stage play music on drums, Suona horns and other instruments. This is a Daoqing shadow puppetry class at Longdong University. Except Liu, the other performers (表演者) are all college students around the age of 20. Starting in the Han Dynasty, Daoqing shadow puppetry has been included in the national intangible cultural heritage list (国家非物质文化遗产名录) since 2006. For years, shadow plays were welcomed by people of all ages, and were often performed during the festivals. However, with films and TV series becoming popular in the late 1980s, many performers moved on to other jobs. Faced with the choice between protecting this art and making a good living, Liu chose to stay on. One day in 2020, Liu received a phone call from Zhao Zhixue, head of the music school at Longdong University. Zhao told him that the school planned to introduce Daoqing shadow puppetry into college classrooms and develop young students’ long-term interest in intangible cultural heritage. Excited by the news, Liu dropped his farm work and became a part-time teacher at the college. Liu hopes to train more young people in the field. “Just as true love is not a one-man show, the learning and keeping of cultural heritage needs efforts (努力) from both the old and the young,” Liu said. 66. Who performed the show with Liu in the shadow pappetry class? _ 67. When did Daoqing shadow puppetry begin? _ 68. In the late 1980s, what did many performers do? _ 69. How did Liu feel after receiving a call from Zhao Zhixue? _ 70. What do you think of Liu after reading the article? _ 七、首字母填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分) 阅读下面短文,根据所给的单词的首字母填上合适的单词,每空一词。 “At first, I just wanted a tool (工具) to help me study.
