One afternoon,Peter wanted to sit in the sun,so he felt his way for the little square before the hospital.He raised his head to enjoy the sunshine.However,he saw nothing but the whole darkness. Just as Peter felt hopeless,someone hit him hard all of a sudden.That angered Peter,so he shouted loudly,"Don't you have eyes?Don't you see who you hit!I'm Peter!" The answer was from a little boy,"I'm sorry,sir.I didn't notice,please forgive me!" Peter changed his mind and ordered,"I can forgive you,but you must talk with me!" The boy began."How beautiful!The grass is green,the sky is blue,the flowers 蜜蜂试卷创建 5 are coming out everywhere,and the little trees are also very lovely.The clouds are loating.” As he was listening,Peter began to envy (that boy.Suddenly,he shouted, "Oh,my God,the little boy is so poor,nothing but a pair of eyes!Why do you give him light?"

D.Rich people are always kind. Just the other day,I was in a bookshop and found a book named How to make frlends with foreigners.As a Canadian living in China for a year,I was curious to see what kind of advice a Chinese writer giving on this matter. One piece of advice really caught my attention and,I must say,made me feel quite angry.In the writer's opinion,foreigners are an"opportunity ()"to improve your oral English;whenever you see a foreigner,American or English,you should practise speaking English with him or her.If the foreigner doesn't want to answer your questions,then he or she is a rude person who you wouldn't want to spend time with anyway.I think this advice is not only incorrect,but also may harm the relationship between Chinese and foreigners in China. Like most other"Lao Wai"living in China,I know how lonely one can sometimes feel living in a culture different from our own familiar (ways. However,I simply accept as part of being here.So far my time in China has been rewarding.I have improved my Chinese language skills,learned about one of the fastest developing countries in the world today and made some very close Chinese 4 friends. However,I have also met many Chinese people who consider me only as an 6 密蜂试卷创建 "opportunity"to improve their oral English.I have had people following me from town to my flat to trouble me to teach them English.I have had complete strangers throwing articles or speeches in my face,insisting that I help them with the English translation.I have had people asking me non-stop questions for half an hour at the weekly English Corner. Friendship for a lot of foreigners is about spending time with someone whose company (they really enjoy.So if there is any advice to give on making and keeping friendships with foreigners,I would say that it is this:Treat foreigners as people,not opportunities.Expect to make friendships step by step,over a period of time,not in a rush. If your only reason for becoming fiends with a foreigner is to improve your English,then you will probably find that you don't have a foreign friend for long. 56.Where is the writer of this passage from? A.America B.China C.Canada D.England 57.Why is the writer of the passage interested in the book"How to make friends with foreigners" A.Because he wants to have some more close Chinese Friends. B.Because he has greatly improved his Chinese language skills, C.Because no Chinese people would like to make friends with him. D.Because he wants to know about the Chinese writer's advice on this topic. 58.According to the writer of the book "How to make friends with foreigners", A.his advice may make foreigners angry B.it is rude of you to ask a foreigner questions C.you should choose a good foreigner to practise English with D.don't waste time on a foreigner who doesn't answer your questions 59.In the fourth paragraph,the writer uses "I have had..."three times,because A.he had no better sentences to express his ideas. B.he wanted to show how he hated to make friends with Chinese. C.he wanted to show how he hated to be treated as an"opportunity". D.he met Chinese who wanted to make friends with him only three times. 60.Which sentence may be the best to fill in the "in the last paragraph? A.True friendships stand(经得起)the test of time,. B.Learn about different cultures to make real friends. C.Friends are about opportunities or personal advantages. D.There's real friendship between people from different countries. D King Uther died.Since he had not left a son,it seemed that there was going to be a bloody fight to see who would be the next King.

Arthur ran back to the place they were staying,but it was locked-everyone had already gone to see the competition.What could he do?As he was wondering what to do,he looked around and saw the handle of a sword on the other side of a wall.He jumped over the wall and took hold of the sword.Then using his mind to focus his strength as Merlin had taught him to do before,he easily pulled the sword out of the stone. Since he was in a hurry,he did not look at the sword too carefully,but rushed back to give it to Kay.Kay was just going to say"You stupid boy!This isn't mine!When he noticed the words on the handle,Kay went to his father,Sir Ector,and said,"You see,I have the sword,and that means that I am the true King!"

When they were all there,Sir Ector asked Arthur to put the sword back into the stone. People all tried to pull the sword out of the stone,but no one could.Then Arthur pulled it out as easily as taking candy from a baby.After they had gone through this several times,some people there asked Merlin how this boy could be the true King.

One of the nice things about emojis is that people from all over the world can understand them.But I have recently learned that some emojis mean 73 (different)in China. 4 9 蜜蜂试卷创建 Take the basic smiling face emoji as an example.At first,I 74 (think)it was just a normal,friendly smile.But later,I found out that it could mean something different.Now it can mean that someone is thinking himself superior to you or even .(laugh)at you.I read online that although the emoji is smiling,its eyes are looking downward and it76(make)it look like not a true smile. Or what about the smiling face with a waving hand?It is certain to look 77(friend)enough.But in fact,Chinese people use this emoji to show that they don't want to talk to someone-the hand is waving"goodbye",as in"never talk to me again”, iea In fact,some emojis also have two different 78 (mean)-in Western countries.One of my favourite emojis is the "cry-laugh"emoji.At first,it meant "rolling on the floor laughing",or ROFL.But now,the meaning has changed.It is often used to describe situations that are so tragic (that you can't help but laugh to make79(you)happy again. It looks like the language of emojis changes over time,just like the real language. We should think twice how we use it when80 (speak)to others. 七、短文填空(本题共10小题:每小题1分,满分10分) Success is not easy to talk about because for some people it means power,for some people it means wealth,for o wh81It is fame()or great achievements.But I have my own understanding of it.There are different ways to succeed.. Success means to 82 your best.Many people b 83that success means to win.In my epiaion,it means to do your best when you do everything,no matter you will win or not.When you are t 84 part in a long-distance race,if you keep on r uo.as fast as you can,you are successful,although you may be the last to pass the finishing-line. Success means to work hard.No one can be successful w 86 any hard work.Tomas Edison succeeded,because he had experimented t 87 of times to find the best material for lights.Every success calls for hard work. 0 Success means not to lose heart.No one can always be the winner.It is i 88 for you not to lose heart.Nobel had failed many times when he was doing his experiments.Sometimes his lab(was on f 89 and he was nearly killed. But he never lost heart and kept on trying.F 90 he invented a new explosive (炸药). So when you fail or meet any difficulty,Just believe in yourself,stand up and give the difficulty a heavy strike. 八、任务型阅读(本题共5小题:每小题2分,满分10分) Every year,the Touching China Award recognizes (people who have made signtricant contributions ().to society through their work and actions.This year,a group of retired professionals in China won the award for their efforts in sharing knowledge through short videos.
