Let’s take a look at three classic Chinese cartoons below. Little Tadpole Looking for Mummy is China’s first ink wash cartoon. Artists drew all the animals, plants and rocks with ink and brushes. They learned from the great artist Qi Baishi. It’s only about 15 minutes long, but it took lots of work. Pigsy Eats Watermelon is China’s first paper cutting cartoon. This 15-minute cartoon came out in 1958. Artists cut Zhu Bajie out of colored paper. Then they moved its body parts and let it eat the watermelon. Making a paper cutting cartoon was not easy. The artists failed at first. After more work, they finally did it! The Story of Afanti came out in 1979. The film told a story of a wise man Afanti fighting against the bad people and helping the poor. In this film, all the “actors” and “actresses” are puppets. They are made of wood and cloth, but they look just like real people. They took the artists a lot of time to make. They show the beauty of Chinese puppets. 21. The cartoon Little Tadpole Looking for Mummy last ________. A. for about ten minutes B. for about fifteen minutes C. for about half an hour D. for about fifty minutes 22. The cartoon Pigsy Eats Watermelon came out ________. A. in 1958 B. in 1979 C. in 1995 D. in 2024 23. All the “actors” and “actresses” in The Story of Afanti are ________. A. ink wash paintings B. paper cuttings C. clay D. puppets 24. The three Chinese cartoons ________. A. are all about family B. took a lot of time to make C. used ink to paint D. are popular with old people 25. We can find the text in the ________ part of a newspaper. A. science B. weather C. interview D. film B Friends play an important part in our lives. Teenager Center did a survey on “What do you think the most important thing about friendship is?” 368 teenagers took part in the survey. The following is the result. Dr. Allen wrote a report to teenagers about it. Let’s read it together. Honesty is where a good friendship starts. You must tell true feelings to your friends. Keep their secrets to yourself and never break promises, or you may lose your friends. Generosity means sharing, and sharing makes friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, of course. Instead, you share your ideas and feelings. Understanding can be valuable to a friend. Everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place, so you can understand the problem better. No two friendships are ever exactly alike (相像). But all true friendship may have some things in common. In fact, good friendships will just not easily last. Many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is one of the reasons why some friendships don’t last very long. Therefore, to keep a lasting friendship, you must give as much as you take. 26. How many teenagers think understanding is the most important between friends in the survey? A. 105. B. 108. C. 110. D. 120. 27. According to the text, friendship usually begins from ________. A. honesty B. understanding C. generosity D. similarity 28. According to the text, a generous friend always ________. A. keeps your secret B. gives you money C. shares ideas with you D. solves your problems 29. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Friends don’t need to be similar. B. A good friend touches your heart. C. Giving is important in a friendship. D. You should take as much as possible. 30. The text is written to ________. A. teach teenagers how to make a survey B. teach people how to make new friends C. tell people what makes a good friendship D. help people understand the importance of friends C Drones are a kind of machine that can fly. They’re becoming more and more common and are 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 discover 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. 31. In Paragraph 1, the writer tells us the wide use of drones by ________. A. giving examples B. listing numbers C. answering questions D. using sayings 32. What does “chemicals” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. 农作物 B. 器械设备 C. 土地 D. 化学药品 33. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Drones can look for things that are lost. B. Drones are more useful than computers. C. Drones don’t need anyone to control them. D. Drones can help people look after the crops. 34. How does the drone serve coffee? a A device under the drone helps to give the person coffee. b. The drone studies the person’s habits. c. The drone flies to the person. d. The drone knows when to give the next cup of coffee. A. b-a-c-d B. b-c-a-d C. b-c-d-a D. c-a-b-d 35. What is the right structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. D Moo Deng is a baby pygmy hippo. It is similar to a large hippo. But a pygmy hippo is much smaller. Moo Deng lives at the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand. She was born in July. Her name means “bouncing pig” or “pork patty”. Her cheeks are pink. Her belly jiggles as she runs around her pen (圈，栏，棚). She nibbles on people’s knees. She is also an Internet superstar. Every move she makes is closely watched—whether she’s being sprayed with water, being carried by zookeepers, or simply lying on the ground. Why is Moo Deng so well loved? Scientists say it is because humans are designed to like cute babies. Even baby hippos! Many baby animals look a certain way. They have big eyes and large foreheads. They have small chins and chubby bodies. These things make babies look helpless. That makes people want to protect them. Konrad Lorenz was a scientist from Austria. He was the first one to think of this idea. He talked about it in 1943. He explained that cuteness makes babies hard to ignore. This is important for babies. They cannot live on their own. They need adults to look after them. Cuteness touches people’s hearts. When we see a cute baby, we want to cuddle (搂抱) them. We want to take care of them. This is how people feel when they see Moo Deng. Pygmy hippos are in trouble. People hunt them, and the forests they live in are being cut down. Today, there are only about 2,000 pygmy hippos living in the wild. They might disappear forever. But Moo Deng’s fame might help. People love Moo Deng. Hopefully they will learn to care about all pygmy hippos. 36. We can learn from Paragraph 1 that ________ A. Moo Deng is a large hippo. B. Moo Deng is unfriendly to people. C. people only watch Moo Deng online. D. Moo Deng lives at a zoo in Thailand. 37. According to the scientists, people want to protect Moo Deng because ________. A. she is a small pig B. she lives in Thailand C. she is an endangered animal D. people find her cute and want to care for her 38. Which of the following explains the word “ignore” in Paragraph 3? A. pay no attention to B. take good care of C. become friends with D. look closely at 39. Why might Moo Deng’s fame be helpful for other pygmy hippos? A. More people will want to visit the zoo. B. It will help them become superstars too. C. It will help people find pygmy hippos in the wild. D. People might learn to care more about saving pygmy hippos. 40. What is the main idea of this passage? A. People only care about cute babies and animals. B. Pygmy hippos have big eyes and chubby bodies. C. Scientists are studying the behavior of baby hippos. D. A cute pygmy hippo who may help save her endangered species. 第二节 阅读E篇短文，根据短文内容还原文章。（每题1分，满分5分） E It is said that the eyes are the windows to our soul (灵魂). ___41___ Your eyes need everyday attention.
