Xiaoyaoyou is one of his representative works. Here are two stories from it. Long time ago, there was a bird called Peng. Its back was as tall as Mount Tai. When it flew, its wings covered the sky like a blanket of clouds. One day, the bird quickly rose high into the sky and flew towards the South Sea. When its wings hit the surface of the water, the water went up three thousand li. When its wings flapped, they made a storm that went ninety thousand li. It would fly or half a year before it reached the South Sea. Some little birds saw it. They couldn’t understand and even laughed at it. They said “What does it think it is doing? When we fly up, we can only go a few meters before we come down again. How is it possible to cover a distance of ninety thousand li?” As we can see a person’s understanding is often limited by his or her ability. Hui Shi was a friend of Zhuangzi. After he became Prime Minister (宰相）of Wei, Zhuangzi wanted to pay him a visit. Someone, told Hui Shi, “Zhuangzi is coming to Wei because he wants to take your place as Prime Minister.” Hui Shi was very afraid. He wanted to stop Zhuangzi and searched for him for three days. Soon, Zhuangzi came. “Have you heard of a bird called Yuan Chu in the south?” he asked Hui Shi. “Every time it flies, it will rest only on the wutong trees, eat only the bamboo fruits, and drink only the spring water as sweet as fine wine. Once, an owl caught a rotten (腐烂的) mouse. When Yuan Chu flew past, the owl looked up and said, ‘No way!’ Now, are you telling me ‘no way’ because you think I want to be Prime Minister of Wei?” 51. According to the story, what can we learn about the bird Peng? A. It could fly very high in the sky. B. It lived on the top of Mount Tai. C. It could swim very fast in the sea. D. It looked like blanket in the sky. 52. When some little birds saw Peng flying, they ________.

It has a history of over 1,000 years in China. In early Tang Dynasty, it was introduced to Japan and Korea, so it was called the “Tang Umbrella”. Later oil paper umbrellas were spread to other Asian countries. Such as Vietnam, Thailand and Laos, and each had its own style. However, as steel-ribbed (钢骨的) umbrellas appeared in the last century, the hand-made oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life. They were turned into decorative artifacts (装饰性工艺品). Yuhang in Hangzhou is known for making oil paper umbrellas for more than 230 years. They are mainly made of skin paper, bamboo, a coating of Tung oil. They need to take more than 70 steps to make, including making bamboo ribs, sticking papers and painting patterns. It takes at least a week to make per umbrella. In 2008, these umbrellas were added to Intangible Cultural Heritage List (非物质文化遗产名录) of China. A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather. “I want to bring the art to life.” Liu said. He improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of young people. As the traditional paper was easy to break, he started to use a kind of thicker paper. In a test, his umbrellas were opened and closed for 1,000 times without breaking. He used a kind of lighter bamboo to make the umbrellas weigh less. Now Liu hopes the art can be passed on. He goes to local schools to teach students. He also goes to events in different places to make the art widely spread. 54.

Daniel shut the door behind him. “I’m looking for her pig.” “Aunt Kim has a pig?” asked Evelyn, wide-eyed. “She didn’t show it to me.” Daniel and Evelyn were cousins. They were at Grandma’s house for a family get-together. Right now, people were listening to each other play music on the front porch (门廊). Daniel said. “Aunt Kim asked me to bring her pig down to the porch. She said she always plays the guitar with it.” “Oh, her pig must be like my reading teacher’s dog at school. When I’m reading to Coco, it’s easier.” Evelyn smiled. “What’s her pig’s name?” “She called it Lucky. She said it was pink, and she’d left it on her bed. But it wasn’t there.” Evelyn said, “Pigs like to cat. Maybe somebody’s giving Lucky a snack in the kitchen.” But the kitchen was empty of pigs and people. Just to be sure, they opened the pantry door and looked under the table. They went on looking for Lucky inside the house. They checked around sofas and chairs and bookcases. “Here, Lucky!” But they couldn’t find the pig. Evelyn crossed her arms. “I don’t think Lucky is in somebody else’s bedroom. The doors were all closed. Wouldn’t you see a pig coming in when you were going out?” “But Lucky is little. Aunt Kim told me she had looked in her purse, but the pig wasn’t there,” said Daniel. “She keeps a pig in her purse? Lucky must be really small,” Evelyn said. “Are you sure it wasn’t in Aunt Kim’s room?” “My cat hides under beds sometimes. Maybe Lucky does, too.” Daniel said. He led the way back upstairs. On his hands and knees, he lifted the blue and white quilt’s (被子) edge. “No pig here.” Meanwhile, Evelyn saw something pink and plastic on Aunt Kim’s quilt. It was shaped almost like a triangle (三角形). “Daniel, did Aunt Kim ask you to get her guitar pig? Or did she say guitar pick?” Her cousin shrugged. “It was hard to hear her, because Dad and Uncle Mike were playing their fiddles (小提琴). What’s a guitar pick?” Evelyn held up the pink triangle. “Yesterday, before your family got here, Aunt Kim played the guitar for me. She was using this. I think it’s called a guitar pick.” Daniel tilted his head. “Well, it is pink, and it was on her bed...” The fiddle music was over when the cousins walked onto the porch. Aunt Kim was talking to Grandma. Before the cousins could say anything, Aunt Kim said, “Oh thanks, you two! I really don’t like playing without my lucky guitar pick.” Evelyn handed it over, and Aunt Kim played a few times. “I hope it wasn’t hard to find.” “It was just where you said,” said Daniel, looking at Evelyn. She laughed so hard that her braids bounced. 62. How did Evelyn feel when Daniel said Aunt Kim told him to look for her pig? A. Relaxed. B. Excited. C. Surprised. D. Scared. 63.

Xiaoyaoyou is one of his representative works. Here are two stories from it. Long time ago, there was a bird called Peng. Its back was as tall as Mount Tai. When it flew, its wings covered the sky like a blanket of clouds. One day, the bird quickly rose high into the sky and flew towards the South Sea. When its wings hit the surface of the water, the water went up three thousand li. When its wings flapped, they made a storm that went ninety thousand li. It would fly or half a year before it reached the South Sea. Some little birds saw it. They couldn’t understand and even laughed at it. They said “What does it think it is doing? When we fly up, we can only go a few meters before we come down again. How is it possible to cover a distance of ninety thousand li?” As we can see, a person’s understanding is often limited by his or her ability. Hui Shi was a friend of Zhuangzi. After he became Prime Minister (宰相）of Wei, Zhuangzi wanted to pay him a visit. Someone, told Hui Shi, “Zhuangzi is coming to Wei because he wants to take your place as Prime Minister.” Hui Shi was very afraid. He wanted to stop Zhuangzi and searched for him for three days. Soon, Zhuangzi came. “Have you heard of a bird called Yuan Chu in the south?” he asked Hui Shi. “Every time it flies, it will rest only on the wutong trees, eat only the bamboo fruits, and drink only the spring water as sweet as fine wine. Once, an owl caught a rotten (腐烂的) mouse. When Yuan Chu flew past, the owl looked up and said, ‘No way!’ Now, are you telling me ‘no way’ because you think I want to be Prime Minister of Wei?” 51. According to the story, what can we learn about the bird Peng? A. It could fly very high in the sky. B. It lived on the top of Mount Tai. C. It could swim very fast in the sea. D. It looked like blanket in the sky. 52. When some little birds saw Peng flying, they ________. A. admired Peng very much B. felt guilty of themselves C. thought Peng was stupid D. wanted to learn the skills 53. Zhuangzi told Hui Shi the story in order to show that ________. A. he made up his mind to get the position B. he took no interest in the position at all C. Hui Shi should give up the position D. Hui Shi had a bigger dream than he B The oil paper umbrella is a traditional Chinese handicraft. It has a history of over 1,000 years in China. In early Tang Dynasty, it was introduced to Japan and Korea, so it was called the “Tang Umbrella”. Later oil paper umbrellas were spread to other Asian countries. Such as Vietnam, Thailand and Laos, and each had its own style. However, as steel-ribbed (钢骨的) umbrellas appeared in the last century, the hand-made oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life. They were turned into decorative artifacts (装饰性工艺品). Yuhang in Hangzhou is known for making oil paper umbrellas for more than 230 years. They are mainly made of skin paper, bamboo, a coating of Tung oil. They need to take more than 70 steps to make, including making bamboo ribs, sticking papers and painting patterns. It takes at least a week to make per umbrella. In 2008, these umbrellas were added to Intangible Cultural Heritage List (非物质文化遗产名录) of China. A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather. “I want to bring the art to life.” Liu said. He improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of young people. As the traditional paper was easy to break, he started to use a kind of thicker paper. In a test, his umbrellas were opened and closed for 1,000 times without breaking. He used a kind of lighter bamboo to make the umbrellas weigh less. Now Liu hopes the art can be passed on. He goes to local schools to teach students. He also goes to events in different places to make the art widely spread. 54. In Para. 1, the writer mainly wants to tell us ________ A. the design of oil paper umbrellas B. the history of oil paper umbrellas C. the styles of oil paper umbrellas D. the use of oil paper umbrellas 55. According to the passage, an oil paper umbrella is mainly made of ________ A. wool, bamboo and a coating of Tung oil B. plastic, bamboo and a coating of Tung oil C. leather, bamboo and a coating of Tung oil D. skin paper, bamboo and a coating of Tung oil 56. Liu Weixue learned the art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas because ________ A. he wanted to bring the art to life B. he couldn’t find a better job C. young people liked the fashion D. his father told him to learn 57. If you visit a website, you may find the article in the section of ________ A. Lifestyle B. Business C. Culture D. Science C Joe Gardner in the new movie Soul (《心灵奇旅》) is a jazz lover and gifted piano player who teaches middle school band. He’s trying to win success and get his mother to accept him. When he gets a chance to play with his role model, saxophonist (萨克斯管吹奏) Dorothea Williams, Joe thinks he’s about to achieve his dream in life. Then Joe falls down a hole Finally, he finds himself in the Great Before, where new souls are prepared for life. It’s also where Joe meets Soul Number 22. He’s sent to help her find her spark—the passion (激情) that encourages her. But 22 isn’t excited about anything till she begins to experience life for herself. Seeing life through 22’s eyes makes Joe understand something. He realizes that while music is one of his sparks, he also finds pleasure in helping others. By guiding 22, Joe gains an appreciation for the little things that make life meaningful. For example, 22 gets her spark from common activities, like watching the sky. The characters in Soul are all very interesting. Everyone has something the movie calls a “spark”. The movie suggests that part of the beauty of life is in finding one’s own spark, and in helping others to find theirs as well. Joe’s piano pieces, played by musician Jon Batiste, are one of the best parts of the film. The music is impressive and full of feeling. It’s easy to believe these works take Joe on a musical journey to another world. By hearing them, we are transported too. I give Soul 9 points out of 10. The movie is thought exciting and encouraging. As the characters learn from one another, the viewer is invited to examine his or her own life. You’ll want to watch this film again and again with those who know you best, so you can discuss your spark and why it makes you—you. 58. What can we learn about Joe Gardner from Para. 1? A. He is good at creating jazz music. B. He is the director of the movie Soul. C. He is a character in the movie Soul. D. He has great achievements in his life. 59. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Joe volunteered to help Soul 22 to find her spark. B. Joe finds his own spark in the process of helping 22. C. It is Joe’s music that makes 22 excited about life. D. Soul 22 gets her spark from some special activities. 60. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? (1=Paragraph 1, 2= Paragraph 2...) A. B. C. D. 61. What can we infer from the passage? A. The writer is also a jazz music fan. B. The write thinks the movie boring. C. The writer wants to watch it again. D. The writer praises the movie highly. D “Why were you in Aunt Kim’s room, Daniel?” asked Evelyn. Daniel shut the door behind him. “I’m looking for her pig.” “Aunt Kim has a pig?” asked Evelyn, wide-eyed. “She didn’t show it to me.” Daniel and Evelyn were cousins. They were at Grandma’s house for a family get-together. Right now, people were listening to each other play music on the front porch (门廊). Daniel said. “Aunt Kim asked me to bring her pig down to the porch. She said she always plays the guitar with it.” “Oh, her pig must be like my reading teacher’s dog at school. When I’m reading to Coco, it’s easier.” Evelyn smiled. “What’s her pig’s name?” “She called it Lucky. She said it was pink, and she’d left it on her bed. But it wasn’t there.” Evelyn said, “Pigs like to cat. Maybe somebody’s giving Lucky a snack in the kitchen.” But the kitchen was empty of pigs and people. Just to be sure, they opened the pantry door and looked under the table. They went on looking for Lucky inside the house. They checked around sofas and chairs and bookcases. “Here, Lucky!” But they couldn’t find the pig. Evelyn crossed her arms. “I don’t think Lucky is in somebody else’s bedroom. The doors were all closed. Wouldn’t you see a pig coming in when you were going out?” “But Lucky is little. Aunt Kim told me she had looked in her purse, but the pig wasn’t there,” said Daniel. “She keeps a pig in her purse? Lucky must be really small,” Evelyn said. “Are you sure it wasn’t in Aunt Kim’s room?” “My cat hides under beds sometimes. Maybe Lucky does, too.” Daniel said. He led the way back upstairs. On his hands and knees, he lifted the blue and white quilt’s (被子) edge. “No pig here.” Meanwhile, Evelyn saw something pink and plastic on Aunt Kim’s quilt. It was shaped almost like a triangle (三角形). “Daniel, did Aunt Kim ask you to get her guitar pig? Or did she say guitar pick?” Her cousin shrugged. “It was hard to hear her, because Dad and Uncle Mike were playing their fiddles (小提琴). What’s a guitar pick?” Evelyn held up the pink triangle. “Yesterday, before your family got here, Aunt Kim played the guitar for me. She was using this. I think it’s called a guitar pick.” Daniel tilted his head. “Well, it is pink, and it was on her bed...” The fiddle music was over when the cousins walked onto the porch. Aunt Kim was talking to Grandma. Before the cousins could say anything, Aunt Kim said, “Oh thanks, you two! I really don’t like playing without my lucky guitar pick.” Evelyn handed it over, and Aunt Kim played a few times. “I hope it wasn’t hard to find.” “It was just where you said” said Daniel, looking at Evelyn. She laughed so hard that her braids bounced. 62. How did Evelyn feel when Daniel said Aunt Kim told him to look for her pig? A. Relaxed. B. Excited. C. Surprised. D. Scared. 63.
