They’re popular with people. They used to be common across Australia, but the last 200 years haven’t been good for them. Their forests have been cut down and burnt in bushfires. Now, koalas are endangered, so it’s necessary to make sure of koala populations by counting (数) them in different areas. This information can be used to find out where help is most needed. Then it’ll become much easier to protect them and their homes. HOW TO COUNT KOALAS We can count koalas in different ways, such as: ·walking around and looking from the ground ·sending up drones （遥控飞机）to look from the sky ·recording koala calls ·using trained dogs. HELP COUNT KOALAS! YOU WILL NEED ·A smartphone ·Walking shoes, a hat and a backpack ·Binoculars (望远镜). Safety: Ask parents before you go into the forest. When you are outdoors, remember to be sun safe with a hat. WHAT TO DO TO COUNT KOALAS ·Fill in your personal information in Koala Spotter(an App). ·Go out to the forest and search for koalas. Look up carefully in the trees. ·Report any koala sightings in the app. ·Remember to record when you don’t see a koala. 21. Why is it necessary to count koalas? A. Because people love them so much. B. Because they are easy to recognize. C. Because they are common across Australia. D. Because their population information is helpful. 22. How many ways are there to count koalas? A. 2． B. 3． C. 4． D. 5． 23. Who is the passage most probably written for? A. Teenagers. B. Workers. C. Teachers. D. Keepers. B What year were you born in? Are you a dragon? That is to say, were you born in the Year of the Dragon? As we know, the Year of the Dragon has arrived with us for a while, and everyone is excited about talking about dragons. Many of them have noticed that more and more people are using the word “long” instead of “dragon” in their daily life. Actually, the longs in Chinese culture, believe it or not, are far different from the dragons in Western culture. First, let’s talk about their origins (起源). Longs are connected to stars and rain. They are believed to have to do with the power of emperors in the past. Dragons, however, are related to floods and dangerous waters underground. Second, let’s dig into their stories. Longs are like messengers between the sky and the earth. They help out the rulers, who become kings because of them. Dragons, though, are troublemakers. They fight with the rulers and can even beat them! But as time passes, dragons lose their shine and heroes start killing them. Third, let’s look at what they mean. Since longs represent (代表) power, they are seen as a symbol of the emperor and an important part of ceremonies and traditions. Dragons, though, are bad news. They are a symbol of evil (恶), and beating the dragons is seen as a victory over evil. Lastly, let’s check out how they look. Longs are like a mix of animals, with heads like camels and necks like snakes. They don’t need wings to fly because they are already skilled at it. Dragons are more like snakes, living underground and causing problems. They don’t have wings either, but people add those to make them look more impressive. 24. Why does the writer start the passage by asking questions? A. To make a report. B. To do a survey. C. To introduce a normal year. D. To catch readers’ interests. 25. What are longs connected with according to the passage? A. Stars and the moon. B. The power of emperors. C. Troublemakers and evil. D. Dangerous waters underground. 26. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Rulers. B. Snakes. C. Heroes. D. Longs. 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. Longs have wings. B. Dragons are good news. C. Longs are used in ceremonies. D. Dragons’ heads are like camels. C Anna Mary Robertson was a famous American painter. It is often said that Anna first took up painting when she was nearly 80 years old. In fact, when she was a little girl, she drew whenever she had a chance. Long before she became known, Anna lived a life full of challenges. She always kept busy with farm chores, housework, and children, but she never really stopped pursuing (追求) art. In Anna’s late age, she pictured some scenes in her mind before painting. She would close her eyes and recall a happy time from her early life. She would remember helping her father on the farm. She would see the people, the farm buildings, and the animals. She would imagine the blue mountains and the softly falling snow. Anna’s friends and family members loved the paintings. She gave them away as gifts. A friend hung several of the paintings in a local store. One day a stranger came into the store and bought every one of her paintings. He took her paintings to New York City and showed them to some art collectors. One of these collectors, Dr. Kallir, liked the paintings. He hung some of them in his gallery (画廊). The newspaper did a story about the art show. The reporter called Anna “Grandma Moses.” From then on almost everyone called her that way. Grandma Moses kept on painting. Her paintings got better, and they got more popular. In her lifetime, Moses created about 1,500 works of art. They were cheerful, warm and full of life, just like Grandma herself. Her paintings still remain popular today. “As I look back on my life, it’s like a good day’s work. It was done and I feel satisfied with it. I knew nothing better than painting and made full use of what life offered. And life is what we make it, always has been, always will be,” she said. 28. When did Anna first take up painting? A. When she was a little girl. B. When she was about 80 years old. C. When she saw the blue mountains. D When she helped her father on the farm. 29.

What’s the correct order of the following events? ①Anna was known to the public. ②Anna’s friends received her paintings as gifts. ③An art show about Anna’s paintings was reported ④A man brought Anna’s paintings to New York City. A. ②④①③ B. ②④③① C. ①④②③ D. ①④③② 31. Which of the following words can best describe Anna? A. Honest and friendly. B. Outgoing and independent. C. Clever and well-educated. D. Creative and hard-working. D We all want to do things well. For example, as students all of us want to have a good performance in study and get good grades. However, growing up also includes accepting when things go wrong. In fact, mistakes can lead to some of the most interesting and meaningful results. Aiming for good results can help you focus on (关注) your goals, but it’s also important to focus on enjoying the process. Getting too hung up on whether things go as planned can put a lot of pressure on you and lead to worry. That’s why it’s good to leave some room for mistakes and imperfections. Dr. Rekha Vara is a doctor who helps people with their mental health (心理健康). She says getting things wrong is part of growing up. “We also have to experience the uncomfortable feeling when we get things wrong. This helps us to become stronger,” says Dr. Vara. “Or we’ll be too scared to make mistakes. This fear can lead us to put off doing difficult things or avoid trying new things.” Learning from your mistakes is necessary during growing up. The most important thing is what you choose to do next. Try not to take it too seriously, blame (责备) yourself or feel too disappointed or upset. Dr. Vara explains, “Remember you’re a common man. Humans make mistakes.” ______, then these feelings will soon pass and then you’ll feel happier. Instead, thinking about what you might do differently next time helps a lot. In one study, if students were reminded to forgive (宽恕) and be kind to themselves when they failed a test, they felt more encouraged to try again, while other students were less pleased to have a second try. 32. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. 执迷 B. 懊悔 C. 遗憾 D. 忽略 33. Which of the following would Dr. Vara agree with? A. Fear leads us to try new things. B. Failure is normal in growing up. C. Good results make us stronger. D. People hardly ever get things wrong. 34. Which of the following can be put in “______” in Paragraph 4? A. Everyone will grow up B. Process is really important C. You should enjoy your feelings D. You might feel uncomfortable at first 35. How does the writer support his idea in the last Paragraph? A. By telling stories. B. By giving an example. C. By listing numbers. D. By describing a problem. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Tips for taking care of friendships Some people are meant to come and go from your lives quickly.

But Ronny thought Henry was a coward and told all the boys that.They laughed at him a great deal.From then on,they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him. Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Ronny for his rude behaviour,because he had learned that true courage was shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved,and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong.Thus,he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to stick to his thought and go to school and study as well.However,Ronny didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore.Instead,he had his new friends who also thought Henry was a coward.Every day after school,they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had lots of fun. A few days later,something terrible happened to Ronny.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        At that moment,Henry happened to pass by.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          ____________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共2页 试卷第1页，共2页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
