But, do our grandparents have a special holiday? Yes, they do! The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for elderly people in China. The festival is on the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar. As the Chinese word for nine has the same sound as the word for long, people take the Double Ninth Festival to show their wishes of long life for elderly people. There are many traditions for this festival. On that day, families get together and climb mountains for luck and in the hope that elderly people will live much longer. They also drink chrysanthemum wine (菊花酒) and wear a plant called zhuyu to celebrate it. Both chrysanthemum and zhuyu are regarded as clean plants that can clean houses and cure diseases. Respecting elderly people is shown not only on this special day but also in daily life. For example, when an older person enters a room, everyone stands up. When there are several guests at the table, the host usually introduces them from the oldest to the youngest. When a younger person is presenting something to an older person, two hands are used. On a crowded subway or bus, younger people always offer their seats to elderly people. It is a traditional virtue in China to respect elderly people. That’s because the Chinese know that elderly people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn from. So, Chinese people are proud of being old. Besides, to respect the elderly people is to respect yourself tomorrow. 16. The Double Ninth Festival is a celebration for ________. A. fathers B. mothers C. children D. elderly people 17.

It means they have more virtues than others. C. It means they have knowledge and experience. D. It means what they did in the past was meaningful. C Nature is amazing! Take a close look at the world of insects, and you’ll discover many unbelievable things. Consider butterflies, for example. They have beautiful, colorful wings, and strong, fantastic flying skills. On summer days, you always see them flying freely over flower gardens and wild fields. But did you know how butterflies become the flying insects? It’s one of the amazing wonders of nature. In the beginning, female butterflies lay a small and colorful egg on a leaf or stem of a plant. It’s hard to believe that the egg will become something completely different in a few days. It becomes a walking insect. This insect is called caterpillar. It now has legs, eyes and a large body. A new life has begun. The caterpillar can eat, walk and see. But it is still not a butterfly. Soon after growing big, the caterpillar makes a cover for itself. It covers itself in the nice protective blanket and goes to sleep. This stage is known as the “pupa (蛹)” stage. After a period of time, the blanket breaks and a wet, weak butterfly appears. It now has six legs, a mouth, eyes and wings. Shortly, the wings fill with blood, and the beautiful, colorful butterfly spreads its wings and flies away. After a few weeks, this adult butterfly lays her eggs, and the cycle begins all over again. This is just one example of the wonders of nature. Look around the natural world, and you will learn many truly amazing things. 21. What is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. Butterflies are a kind of insect. B. Butterflies are good at flying. C. Butterflies have colorful wings. D. Butterflies have a good sense of smell. 22. What does the “caterpillar” look like? A. B. C. D. 23. What is the right order of the development process of a butterfly? ①It becomes a pupa. ②It becomes a walking insect. ③Female butterflies lay an egg. ④It spreads wings and flies away. A ①→②→③→④ B. ①→②→④→③ C. ③→②→①→④ D. ③→②→④→① 24. Which of the following best describes a butterfly after the blanket breaks? A. It has six legs, eyes and a large body. B. It has six legs, eyes and a mouth. C. It has six legs, a mouth, eyes and wings. D. It has six legs, eyes, a mouth and a large body. 25. What can be the best title for the passage? A. One Insect, Different Colors B. One Insect, Four Lives C. The Kinds of Butterflies D. The Habits of Butterflies D Do you yawn? There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning after research. They do not know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts about yawning. We know that everyone yawns in the same way. First you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. You take in a lot of air and then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth. We also know that yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too. Many people say they yawn because they are bored or tired. That might be true. People do often yawn before they sleep and after they wake up. However, we know that people also yawn when they are excited or nervous. Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? Scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down. Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly. When you yawn, you breathe deeply. You also stretch (强化) the muscles in your face, mouth, and neck. Your eardrums stretch, too. Maybe this helps you to be quicker to notice things. In some countries, people think yawning is not nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy. They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in. When they breathe out, they think that bad things go out of the body with the air. Scientists do not spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It is just something we do. 26. The underlined word “contagious” in paragraph 2 means ________. A. being able to spread quickly B. being able to breathe easily C. being able to change easily D. being able to sleep quickly 27. Olympic runners often yawn before a race because ________. A. they are too tired or too bored B. a yawn can let good things in C. a yawn can help a warm brain cool down D. a yawn can stretch the muscles in their faces 28. The main idea of paragraph 5 is ________. A. reasons for yawning B. advantages of yawning C. disadvantages of yawning D. different ideas about yawning 29. We can infer from the passage that ________. A. people use different ways to yawn B. scientists will do further research on yawning C. it’s hard to notice things quickly while yawning D some scientists think yawning is good for people 30. The structure ________ of the passage can be shown in picture. A. B. C. D. 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。（共5 小题；每小题1分，满分5分） E Saying “I am sorry” is called apologizing. ____31____ But it can help make things better. When Should People Apologize? ____32____ You might argue with a friend and say mean things to her. You might break a rule at school or at home. When you know you did something wrong, apologizing is the right thing to do. What If It Was Not My Fault? ____33____ You might step on someone’s foot by mistake. It is still a good idea to apologize. Apologizing can be a way of saying, “I wish that did not happen.” What If I Did Not Start the Problem? Imagine a student says something mean to you in the school hallway. ____34____ You might think, “I did not start it, so I do not have to apologize.” The student was wrong to be mean to you. That does not make it right for you to throw his book. Even if you did not start the problem, you should apologize for what you did wrong. What If I Do Not Feel Sorry? People can tell if you say “I am sorry” and you do not really mean it. ____35____ Maybe you are still feeling angry so you do not want to apologize. Take some time to calm down and think about what happened. Then try apologizing. The other person might still be angry with you, but you will probably feel better about yourself. Why? You will know you did the right thing. A. Sometimes accidents happen. B. It is not always easy to apologize to someone. C. Sometimes we do things we know we should not do. D. Apologizing when you are not sorry does not help much. E. You get angry, grab a book out of his hand, and throw it down the hall. 第三节 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，回答问题。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） Earth Hour is an event that takes place every year in over 150 countries. Most countries have Earth Hour on a day in March. On this day, people are asked to turn off lights for one hour during the evening. People are asked to turn off any lights they do not really need. Turning off all the lights could be dangerous. People might hurt themselves by walking into things or falling down stairs. Businesses that are open in the evening need to keep some lights on. Earth Hour was started to make people think about ways to care for our planet. Turning off lights means we use less electricity. When we use less electricity, we put less pollution into the air. Earth Hour is not just about saving electricity on one day each year. Earth Hour is a reminder that we should always think about what we can do to help our planet. People can do more than just turning off lights they do not need. For example, they can recycle and they can sometimes take the bus instead of driving. They can do something every day to help our planet. You can find out when the next Earth Hour is in your country. Then ask your family and friends to take part. Remind them to keep on lights they need to stay safe. You can also try to do one thing each day to help our planet. 36.
