The festival is on the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar.

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.

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.

They have beautiful, colorful wings, and strong, fantastic flying skills.”可知，仔细观察昆虫的世界，你会发现许多令人难以置信的事情。以蝴蝶为例。它们有美丽多彩的翅膀，以及强大而神奇的飞行技能。故选项D“蝴蝶的嗅觉很灵敏。”在第一段没有提及。故选D。 【22题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“This insect is called caterpillar. It now has legs, eyes and a large body”可知，它现在有了腿、眼睛和一个巨大的身体，即它现在是毛毛虫，与B选项图片相符。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In the beginning, female butterflies lay a small and colorful egg on a leaf or stem of a plant.”可知，一开始，雌性蝴蝶在植物的叶子或茎上产下一个小而彩色的蛋，即③；根据“It becomes a walking insect”可知，它变成了会走路的昆虫，即②；根据“It covers itself in the nice protective blanket and goes to sleep.

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. 【答案】26. A 27. C 28. D 29. D 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了打哈欠的现象和可能原因，还探讨了一些科学家认为打哈欠可以帮助注意力集中的观点，以及不同国家对打哈欠的看法。 【26题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too.”可知，看见别人打哈欠，自己也会打哈欠，说明打哈欠会传染，因此可推测contagious意为“能很快传播”。故选A。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? Scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down.”可知，奥运会选手在比赛前经常打哈欠。为什么呢？科学家发现，打哈欠可以帮助大脑冷静下来。故选C。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“In some countries, people think yawning is not nice...In other countries...”可知，本段主要介绍了不同国家对于打哈欠的看法。故选D。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down.”和“Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly”可知，科学家发现打呵欠可以帮助大脑冷静下来，还可以让你更快速地注意事物，由此可推测，一些科学家认为打呵欠对人们有好处。故选D。 【30题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段引出了话题；第二至第五段介绍了关于打哈欠的现象、原因、作用以及不同国家对打哈欠的看法；第六段进行总结。故选B。 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.

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.

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.

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. Which of the following may NOT be a tradition for the Double Ninth Festival? A. Cleaning houses. B. Wearing the plant zhuyu. C. Drinking chrysanthemum wine. D.

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.

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.

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.
