The Mid-Autumn Festival has a history of about 2,000 years. During these years lots of MidAutumn traditions have been thought up by Chinese people. All the celebrations show the happiness and excitement of people.
The main celebrations during the Mid-Autumn Festival are admiring the moon, eating mooncakes together and making Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns. These three celebrations have been passed from generation (代) to generation. Chinese people may think the Mid-Autumn Festival is not coming if they don’t do these three things.
In some places in China people celebrate the festival in different ways. In Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, people eat taro (芋头) to celebrate the festival, because the taro harvest (收获) happens at the same time as the festival. They eat taro and hope the harvest is good in the next year. In Nanjing, people cook duck with sweetscented osmanthus (甜桂花), because people in Nanjing think sweetscented osmanthus is a symbol of peace. In some places people make fires inside towers to celebrate the festival, because they think the fire is a symbol of good business.
In China, many poems were written to praise the full moon of Mid-Autumn night and express the poets’ feelings. The following is one of the best of those poems.
Thoughts in the Silent Night
—Li Bai

Looking down I miss so much about my hometown.

Embroidery (刺绣) is an important art form in Chinese culture. The most famous embroidery styles are Su embroidery, Shu embroidery, Xiang embroidery and Yue embroidery. Even though embroidery is well-known at home and abroad, the skill of it is in danger of dying out.
Embroidery takes time and patience. It usually takes several months to complete one piece. Since modern machines can make cheaper embroidery products today, fewer people buy handmade ones. Another important reason is that many young people have lost interest in being embroiders. To save the skill, professional embroiders are doing their part. Meng Dezhi is one of them.
Meng has been making Shu embroidery for forty years. She is a national-level inheritor (传承人) and used to work at the Shu Embroidery Factory in Chengdu. But in 2006,the factory was closed down and Meng lost her job. Although facing a difficult situation, she fought on. Meng rented (租) a small space of ten square meters to teach Shu embroidery to others. Here her students needed to divide each silk thread (线) into more than 10 or even 30 pieces. Each piece is thinner than a single human hair. It’s really hard work. In 2016, Meng was invited to make a logo for Qixi Festival. It was a small logo, but it required the use of 45 types of sewing techniques (针) and 35, 000 stitches (针).
Meng is trying to influence more people by giving speeches in different universities and communities. As a result, a growing number of people begin to join her. “In the early days, I make Shu embroidery just for living. But now I feel that I have the duty to pass on Shu embroidery skills to young generations, because Shu embroidery stands for thousands of years of Sichuan culture and should be saved. It is like sowing a seed—I share my skills and knowledge with young people and look forward to seeing them grow and become guardians of Shu embroidery.” she said.
41. According to Paragraph 1&2, what do we know about embroidery?
A. There are three embroidery styles. B. It doesn’t take time and patience.
C. More people want to work on it. D. Products made by machines are cheaper.
42. In Paragraph 3 how does the writer show embroidery is really hard work?
A. By asking questions. B. By listing numbers. C. By comparing facts. D. By giving opinions.
43. What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Setting up a company for making a living. B. Writing many books about Shu embroidery.
C. Making modern products of Shu embroidery. D. Passing on Shu embroidery to young people.
44. According to the passage, what do you think of Meng?
A. She is silly. B. She is understanding. C. She is mean. D. She is responsible.
45. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. Four embroidery styles. B. A famous embroidery factory.
C. A logo for Qixi Festival. D. The protection of embroidery.

二、基础知识运用(共两节;满分25分)
第一节 单项选择题(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
从A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳答案,并把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。
1. China is ______ Asian country, while the UK is ______ European country.
A. a; a B. an; a C. an; an D. a; an
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】试题分析:中国是一个亚洲国家,而英国是一个欧洲国家。英语中用不定冠词a或an表示“一”。an用在以元音音素开头的单词前,a用在辅音音素开头的单词前。Asian的读音是/eiʃən/;European的读音是[ˌjʊərəˈpɪən]。故选B。
2. —Jim, could I use your computer?
—Yes, of course you ________.
A. could B. can C. must D. should
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——吉姆,我能用一下你的电脑吗?——是的,当然可以。
考查情态动词的辨析。could能,过去式;can能,可以;must必须;should应该。根据“could I use your computer?”可知句中could是can的委婉形式,不是过去式,所以回答时用can。故选B。
3. —Would you please tell me ________ next?
—Think it over, and you’ll find a good way.
A. how to do B. where to do C. what to do D. when to do
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——请你告诉我接下来做什么好吗?——仔细考虑一下,你会找到一个好方法的。
考查疑问词+不定式。how to do怎么做;where to do在哪里做;what to do做什么;when to do什么时候做。do在此是实义动词,意为“做”,需要加宾语。when/how/where是副词,不能作宾语,what“什么”,可作do的宾语。故选C。
4. ________ terrible weather we have been having these days!
A. What B. What a C. How D. How a
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:这些天我们经历了多么糟糕的天气啊!!
考查感叹句。句子是感叹句,中心词是不可数名词weather,用结构:What+形容词+不可数名词+主谓。故选A。
5. —You ________ to treat others with respect and kindness at school.
—We will, Ms. Miller.
A. expect B. have expected C. are expecting D. are expected
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你们被期待在学校对待别人要尊重,并且有善意。——我们会的,米勒老师。
考查一般现在时的被动语态。根据“We will, Ms. Miller.”可知“you”指学生,故学生应是被期待在学校要善待他人。即“you”和“expect”是被动关系,用被动语态,其结构是be+done。符合结构的是D项。故选D。
6. — Bruce ________ so much in the past two years.
— Yeah, he ________ be shy, but now he is confident and active.
A. has changed; used to B. changed; is used to
C. changed; used to D. has changed; is used to
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——布鲁斯在过去的两年中变化很大。——是的,他以前很害羞,但现在他很自信和积极。
考查时态。第一处根据“in the past two years”可知,用现在完成时,排除BC;第二处根据“but now he is confident and active”可知,强调与现在的对比,用used to be结构,是一般过去时。be used to do sth“被用来做某事”,不符合语境。故选A。
7. —Could you tell me ________ last night?
—Er, I was watching Super Boy at home.
A. what you were doing B. what were you doing
C. what you are doing D. what are you doing
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你能告诉我你昨晚在做什么吗?——呃,我在家看《超级男孩》。
考查宾语从句。根据“Could you tell me …?”可知,空白处应填入宾语从句。宾语从句的语序用陈述语序,即“特殊疑问词+主语+谓语+其他”。又因时间状语为last night“昨晚”,答语是过去进行时,可知宾语从句也应使用过去进行时。故选A。
8. ______ I have lost everything in this terrible earthquake, I have not lost my life.
A. Because B. So C. Although D. If
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:虽然我在这次可怕的地震中丢掉了所有的东西,我没有丢掉我的生命。A.因为B.所以C.虽然D.如果。这是一个让步状语从句,表示的是“虽然”我什么都丢了,“但是”我还有自己的生命,不存在因果关系或是条件,排除ABD,表示让步选用although表示“虽然”,故选C。
【点睛】注意although 与 though的用法区别,一、用作连词都表示“虽然”,两者大致同义,可换用,只是 although比though更为正式。二、用作副词,although 一般不用作副词,而though可用作副词,且一般放在句末(不放在句首),意为“可是”、“不过”。例句:It’s hard work; I enjoy it though.工作很辛苦,可是我乐意干。三、用于习语,在as though (好像,仿佛), even though(即使,纵然)等固定短语中不能用 although。
9. My parents often warn me ________ too much junk food because it’s bad for my health.
A. not eating B. not to eat C. eating D. to eat
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:我的父母经常警告我不要吃太多垃圾食品,因为那对我的健康有害。
考查非谓语动词。not eating动名词的否定形式;not to eat不定式的否定形式;eating动名词形式;to eat不定式形式。根据“My parents often warn me…too much junk food because it’s bad for my health.”可知,warn sb (not) to do sth表示“警告某人(不要)做某事”。在这里表达父母警告我不要去做吃太多垃圾食品这件事,所以要用不定式的否定形式not to eat。故选B。
10. —Hello, Mr. White. Could you tell me your e-mail address?
—________? I didn’t hear you clearly.
A. How come B. Why not C. So what D. Pardon me
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你好,怀特先生。你能告诉我你的邮箱地址吗?——请再说一遍好吗?我没有听清楚你说什么。
考查交际用语。How come为什么;Why not为什么不;So what那又怎样;Pardon me请再说一次。根据“I didn’t hear you clearly.”可知,怀特先生没有听清对方说的话,应用Pardon me,请求别人再说一次。故选D。

Embroidery (刺绣) is an important art form in Chinese culture. The most famous embroidery styles are Su embroidery, Shu embroidery, Xiang embroidery and Yue embroidery. Even though embroidery is well-known at home and abroad, the skill of it is in danger of dying out.
Embroidery takes time and patience. It usually takes several months to complete one piece. Since modern machines can make cheaper embroidery products today, fewer people buy handmade ones. Another important reason is that many young people have lost interest in being embroiders. To save the skill, professional embroiders are doing their part. Meng Dezhi is one of them.
Meng has been making Shu embroidery for forty years. She is a national-level inheritor (传承人) and used to work at the Shu Embroidery Factory in Chengdu. But in 2006,the factory was closed down and Meng lost her job. Although facing a difficult situation, she fought on. Meng rented (租) a small space of ten square meters to teach Shu embroidery to others. Here her students needed to divide each silk thread (线) into more than 10 or even 30 pieces. Each piece is thinner than a single human hair. It’s really hard work. In 2016, Meng was invited to make a logo for Qixi Festival. It was a small logo, but it required the use of 45 types of sewing techniques (针) and 35, 000 stitches (针).
Meng is trying to influence more people by giving speeches in different universities and communities. As a result, a growing number of people begin to join her. “In the early days, I make Shu embroidery just for living. But now I feel that I have the duty to pass on Shu embroidery skills to young generations, because Shu embroidery stands for thousands of years of Sichuan culture and should be saved. It is like sowing a seed—I share my skills and knowledge with young people and look forward to seeing them grow and become guardians of Shu embroidery.” she said.
41. According to Paragraph 1&2, what do we know about embroidery?
A. There are three embroidery styles. B. It doesn’t take time and patience.
C. More people want to work on it. D. Products made by machines are cheaper.
42. In Paragraph 3, how does the writer show embroidery is really hard work?
A. By asking questions. B. By listing numbers. C. By comparing facts. D. By giving opinions.
43. What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Setting up a company for making a living. B. Writing many books about Shu embroidery.
C. Making modern products of Shu embroidery. D. Passing on Shu embroidery to young people.
44. According to the passage, what do you think of Meng?
A. She is silly. B. She is understanding. C. She is mean. D. She is responsible.
45. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. Four embroidery styles. B. A famous embroidery factory.
C. A logo for Qixi Festival. D. The protection of embroidery.

First, I used to be thin, but now I am a little fatter. I used to have curly hair, but now I have short straight hair. Second, I have made much progress in English. I used to be weak in it. But with my English teacher’s help, now I often get good scores on my English exams, and I am interested in English. Third, I used to play basketball, but now I am used to playing football with my friends.
The biggest change in my life was that I’m more outgoing than I used to be. I used to be afraid of speaking in front of people. My parents were very worried about me. They talked with me and helped me know the importance of confidence. Now I can give a speech in public. I’ve also made many friends.
