This year marks the 920th anniversary of his death. Su is one of the most popular ancient writers. He was good at almost all kinds of writings and art, including poems, ci and prose (散文) as well as calligraphy and painting. But Su was not only respected for his talent, but also for his optimistic (乐观的) attitude toward life. When he was young, he passed the imperial examinations (科举考试) and earned the degree of Jinshi (进士). After that, he became an official. Sadly, Su was demoted (贬谪) to serve in remote (偏远的) areas because of false accusations (诬陷). But he was not too discouraged. First, he went to Huangzhou, in today’s Hubei. There, he tried to enjoy life in the countryside. He farmed a piece of land which he called “Dongpo (东坡)”. This is why people call him “Dongpo”. It’s said that he also invented Dongpo Pork, a famous Chinese dish, during this period. Many of his best poems were written there, too, including Tune: Calming the Waves (《定风波》). Its line “Impervious to wind, rain or shine, I’ll have my will (归去！也无风雨也无晴)” showed his open-minded attitude. Su was also demoted to Danzhou, in today’s Hainan. At the beginning, he couldn’t get used to the hot, wet weather. He also couldn’t understand the dialect (方言). Instead of getting sad, he set up schools and got along very well with the locals. Many people traveled from afar to visit him. Su was “an incorrigible (无可救药的) optimist, a friend of the people, a prose master …” writer Lin Yutang said in his book about Su. 26. Being sent to faraway places, Su Shi was _____. A. thankful         B. optimistic C. hopeless         D. discouraged 27. Paragraphs 5-6 are written to _____. A. show Su Shi’s influence on poetry B. show how other people see Su Shi C. introduce Su Shi’s writings and art D. introduce Su Shi’s life after demotion 28. What can we learn from Su Shi’s experience? A. We should work hard to avoid ups and downs. B. We should try our best to help others. C. We should ask friends for help when we are down. D. We should stay optimistic when facing difficulties. B Once there was a small boy called Shankar who belonged to a poor family. One day, he was walking through the forest, carrying some wood. He saw an old man who was very hungry. Shankar wanted to give him some food, but he did not have any food with him. So he continued on his way. On the way, he saw a fox who was very thirsty. He wanted to give him some water, but he did not have any water for himself. So he went on his way ahead. Then he saw a young man with a dog who wanted to make a fire but did not have wood. Shankar learned about his problem and gave some wood to him. In return, the man gave him some food and water. Now he went back to the old man and gave him some food. Then he found the fox and gave some water to him. The old man and the fox were very thankful for Shankar’s help. Then Shankar went on his way happily. Unluckily, one day Shankar fell down the hill. He was in pain but he couldn’t move and no one was there to help him. But the old man who he had helped before saw him, and quickly came and pulled him up the hill. Shankar had many wounds on his legs. The fox whom Shankar had given water to saw his wounds and quickly went to the forest and brought some herbs. The old man helped to put the herbs on Shankar’s wounds. After some time, Shankar got well. All were very happy that they were able to help each other. If you help others, then they will also help you. 29. What did Shankar carry when he walked through the forest? A. Wood. B. Food. C. Water. D. Herbs. 30. Who gave Shankar food and water? A. The old man B. The young man. C. The fox. D. The dog. 31. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “herbs” in Chinese? A. 鲜花 B. 野果 C. 药草 D. 毒虫 32. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage? A. Help each other B. A fox may help you C. Don’t believe the stranger D. Food and water are important C You may study differently from your friends, but your study habits are not wrong! Kelly and Maria are best friends with a lot in common. They love doing things together, such as going to movies and concerts, shopping, or just sitting at a small cafe. Since they take a lot of the same school subjects, they would love to study together, but they find this impossible. Their working styles are so completely different that they can’t be in the same room while they are studying! Kelly would like to study in a clean, open space, while Maria works best with books, papers and other things around her. Kelly prefers to study in a totally silent room, but Maria loves to play music or even have the TV on. Kelly can sit for hours without moving, and often gets all her homework done in one sitting. Maria, however, is always getting up, and says that she thinks best when she’s on the move. You might be asking yourself: which way of studying gets better results? Many people believe that a silent, tidy setting(环境) is the way to go, __________. Some research has even shown that outside noise and untidiness help some people focus(聚焦) their attention, because it makes them form a “wall” in their mind around what they are doing and improves their focus. So, if you’re a student who chooses to study while sitting at a table in a busy shopping center, don’t worry about it. If you work in total silence, that’s OK; too. Judging from Kelly’s and Maria’s study habits, the best way to study is the way that works for you. In their very different ways, both of them do well in school, and both finish their work within the required time as well. 33. Kelly and Maria are mentioned as an example in this passage to______. A. discuss two different study habits B. compare the differences in their hobbies C. show the importance of a good study habit D. express the writer’s worry about their friendship 34. Which of the following is the best to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4? A. and they have difficulty in study B. and it can be true for most of them C. but that doesn’t seem necessarily true D. but nobody does research on this question 35. What can we infer from the last paragraph of this passage? A. Students who like to study in silence will be more successful B. Both study habits can help students make progress in their studies. C. Only a small number of students can study well in a noisy situation. D. Friends with different study habits can do better by studying together. 36. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Are you studying the “right” way? B. How can you improve your study habits? C. Is it possible for friends to study well together? D. What are the advantages of different study setting? D Modern inventions make our life easier and more interesting than before. Let’s take a look at some inventions. A new kind of enzyme(酶) Scientists in Britain and the United States have found a new kind of enzyme that eats plastics. With its help, plastics can be turned into smaller parts and go away quickly. It can stop plastics from being burned everywhere. Scientists believe that it can solve the problem of plastic pollution in the future. Social robot Can robots talk to us like humans? Jibo, a robot made in US, can talk with you. The robot has a big, round head and a big body with no eyes or mouth. It uses animated icons (动画图标) to show emotions(情绪). It just seems like a real human. Right now, Jibo can only do some easy things, like taking photos and reading news to you. But it may learn to do new things in the future. Spark Spark is a new drone(无人驾驶飞机) made by a Chinese company in Shenzhen. It can help people take photos and videos. Spark might be the smallest drone ever made. When folded, it is as small as a Coke can. The coolest part is that users can control the small drone just by using hand gestures. For example, if you wave your hand from left to right, the drone will fly in the same way. When you want it to land you just put your hand out. The drone will come to you and land on your hand. 37．We can learn that Jibo__________ according to the text.

A number is one thing, and good luck is another. They will ask, “How can you ever have any good luck simply because of some lucky numbers, even if you don’t work hard, don’t have good chances and don’t get along well with the people around you?” As for me, I agree with the second idea. 44 Perhaps it holds true for some cases, but often it does not. Numbers can never bring good luck to a person at all and our luck is in our own hands. 45 Let’s always remember “Chances are only for the prepared mind” and “No pains, no gains”. A. However, others don’t believe that numbers have anything to do with good luck. B. In China, some people think that some numbers bring them good luck. C. So, everyone can have good luck only if he tries his best. D. So, many Chinese people spend a lot of money to get their telephone numbers or car numbers to include this number “8”. E. Clearly, lucky numbers are only a kind of superstitious belief. 4、 语篇填词（5分） Paul is a student at Guangzhou No. 2 Middle School. He is in Class Six Grade Eight.
