There was a table set out under a tree in front of the house, and the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea at it, a Dormouse was sitting between them, fast asleep, and the other two were using it as a cushion (垫子), resting their elbows (肘部) on it, and talking over its head. “Very uncomfortable for the Dormouse,” thought Alice. “only, as it’s asleep, I suppose it doesn’t mind.”
The table was a large one, but the three were all crowded together at one corner of it, “No room! No room!” they cried out when they saw Alice coming. “There’s PLENTY of room!” said Alice indignantly (愤慨地), and she sat down in a large arm-chair at one end of the table.
“Have some wine (酒),” the March Hare said in an encouraging tone (语气).
Alice looked all round the table, but there was nothing on it but tea. “I don’t see any wine,” she remarked (评论).
“There isn’t any” said the March Hare.
“Then it wasn’t very civil (礼貌的) of you to offer it,” said Alice angrily.

“You should learn not to make personal remarks,” Alice said with some severity (严肃), “it’s very rude.”
The Hatter opened his eyes very wide on hearing this; but all he SAID was, “Why is a raven (乌鸦) like a writing-desk?”
“Come, we shall have some fun now!” thought Alice. “I’m glad they’ve begun asking riddles (谜语).—I believe I can guess that,” she added aloud.

When do you become an adult? The answers are different from country to country. In modern China, adulthood for both boys and girls starts at the age of 18. By the time most people reach 18, they have finished high school and are ready for university. So a person’s 18th birthday often means a celebration of both adulthood and the start of college life.
Did children in ancient China become adults at 18? In fact, boys in ancient China became adults at 20 and girls at 15. And there was a ceremony to celebrate this time. After the ceremony, a young person could be called an “adult”.
For girls, the ceremony was called Ji Li. “Ji” is a kind of hairpin (发夹). In ancient times, only girls from rich families could have this ceremony. It was simple and didn’t take much time. Before the ceremony, a girl would tie her hair on the top of her head. At the ceremony, a woman in the family would put a hairpin on a girl’s hair. It meant she was now an adult. After the ceremony, she needed to learn a lot, like the right way to speak and dress.
For boys, the ceremony was called Guan Li. ___48___▲___49___ Before the ceremony, a boy’s family often chose a lucky day and invited many guests. On that day, the boy needed to dress up. The father would wash hands and put three hats on the boy’s head, one by one. Then the boy would change into another set of clothes to go with the color of the hats. After these steps, the boy would become a “man”.
48. When did a person become an adult in ancient China?
A. At the age of 18 for both boys and girls. B. At the age of 18 for boys and 15 for girls.
C. At the age of 20 for boys and 18 for girls. D. At the age of 20 for boys and 15 for girls.

A. It was usually in May. B. It is the same as Ji Li.
C. “Guan” is a kind of hat. D. After Guan Li, the boy would have a new name.
50. What can we infer from the passage?
A. People saw a boy’s Guan Li as an important celebration.
B. On a boy’s Guan Li, the father put three hats on his son’s head.
C. People expected boys to speak and dress in a right way after they grew up.
D. All boys and girls had a ceremony to celebrate their being an adult.

Have you ever felt that your feelings and state of mind sometimes can be influenced by places? Have you ever noticed that certain places especially upset you, or that certain places are especially relaxing and peaceful? Well, there’s a good chance that the colors in those places are playing a part.
Scientists have studied the influence of colors on our feelings, health and the way of thinking for many years. For example, some studies show that blue is a relaxing color. Blue reminds us of the ocean and sky. Pleasant dreams might be the end result of painting the bedroom blue. It has a calming influence on the body, lowering the blood pressure and heart rate, and has a cooling influence in hot and humid weather. Another study shows that blue in the classroom can be a good thing. An angry child would become calmer after being in a classroom painted blue.
But red has the opposite influence. It is an energetic color that can excite and warm the body, and increase the heart rate. Therefore, it may not be so great for bedrooms where you are trying to relax, since it can cause the difficulty in sleep.
Yellow is a very welcoming color. It makes people feel cheerful, energetic and happy. It is a perfect color for a sunroom. Since yellow is easy to be noticed, it is also one of the most attention-getting colors. Yellow can be used to draw notices, such as traffic signs or advertisements.
Green is the most relaxing color on the color wheel. Green reminds us of spring and the new beginning. It brings calmness and hope and it has a relaxing influence on the body as well as the mind. That’s why it’s suitable for almost any room in the house. The color green can lead to more creative thinking, so green is a good choice for offices.
52. How does the writer lead readers to the introduction about colors?
A. By telling a story. B. By giving some examples.
C. By asking some questions. D. By showing the study result.
53 What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. People can’t sleep well in their bedrooms painted blue.
B. Blue is the dream color for many people.
C. Blue bedrooms may bring more pleasant dreams.
D. People like to dream during their sleep.
54. Which two pictures can calm you down according to the text?
a b c d
A. cd B. bd C. ab D. ac
55. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?
A. Green can relax the mind and bring creative thinking.
B. It’s perfect to have a bedroom painted red and a sunroom painted yellow.
C. Blue can excite and warm the body and increase the blood pressure and heart rate.
D. An angry child will turn into a happy one after being in a classroom painted blue.

①Japan’s population is rapidly aging, with 28 percent of its people aged 65 or older. This means there aren’t enough young people doing jobs that need physical strength (力量) like building things and farming.
②To encourage older people to work on, technology companies in Japan have developed special suits called exoskeleton (外骨骼). These suits can make it easier to lift and carry heavy objects.
③“We have no choice, elderly people need to stay in the workplace,” says Daigo Orihara at Innophys. This company has made a suit called the Every Muscle Suit. It’s light, weighing less than 4 kg. It doesn’t need any batteries (电池) or motors (发动机). When users put it on like a backpack, they pump (抽气) air into it 30 times with a hand pump. Then, the suit can help them lift up to 25 kg easily. The suit costs about 1000 pounds and is used by food companies to help worker lift big boxes, by old people’s homes to help workers lift people in and out of bed, as well as by food factories and building companies.
④Another company, Panasonic, is also developing different exoskeleton suits. Its most important one—the Atoun Model Y—costs 4200 pounds. It uses motors instead of air to work and can last for 8 hours. It weighs 4.5 kg and can help users lift up to 10 kg.
⑤Similarly, Japanese company JTEKT, part of the Toyota group, also began selling an exoskeleton. It’s used to help older workers and also runs on a motor.
⑥As Japan is facing the problems of fewer and fewer workers, they may need to raise the age when people stop working. This means there will be even more need for exoskeleton to help older people keep working.
56. Why do Japanese technology companies develop exoskeleton?
A. To take the place of humans with machines.
B. To compete with other countries in technology.
C. To encourage older people to stay in jobs for longer.
D. To help young workers move heavy objects more easily.
57. What can we know from the passage?
A. The Every Muscle Suit needs electricity.
B. The Every Muscle Suit can help users lift up to 25 kg.
C. The Every Muscle Suit is heavier than the Atoun Model Y.
D. The Every Muscle Suit is more expensive than the Atoun Model Y.
58. Which is the best structure of this passage?
(①=Para.1 ②=Para.2 ③=Para.3 ④=Para.4 ⑤=Para.5 ⑥= Para.6)
A. B. C. D.
59. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. The Every Muscle Suit B. Japan’s Technology Companies
C. Reasons for Japan’s Aging Challenge D. Exoskeletons: to Solve Japan’s Aging Challenge

Long ago, the early people did not live in houses as we do today, Most of the homes were in caves or shelters (遮蔽物) which were built in trees. These “homes” were only used as temporary (临时的) shelters to protect them from the sun, the rain and the wild animals in the forests. Men of that time called “cave people”.
These “cave people” usually lived in small groups and life was not easy for them. They had to move from place to place to search for food. They would hunt, fish or pick wild fruit. When they couldn’t find anything to eat, they would leave to find another proper place. Their tools were very simple. They ate raw (生的) food until they learned how to make a fire. For clothing, they used only the bark (树皮) of trees or the skins (皮) of animals to cover their bodies.
However, the lives of the “cave people” changed. They collected the seeds (种子) of wild plants that grew in the forests. Soon they learned to plant fruit, vegetables and other crops. They also kept cows, sheep and other kinds of farm animals for milk, meat and skins. They became farmers and lived in only one certain area. Their groups became larger than before as they lived more settled (固定的) lives. They built houses as long-lasting homes, and as a result, villages and towns developed quickly. The “cave people” began to be civilized (文明的).

When do you become an adult? The answers are different from country to country. In modern China, adulthood for both boys and girls starts at the age of 18. By the time most people reach 18, they have finished high school and are ready for university. So a person’s 18th birthday often means a celebration of both adulthood and the start of college life.
Did children in ancient China become adults at 18? In fact, boys in ancient China became adults at 20 and girls at 15. And there was a ceremony to celebrate this time. After the ceremony, a young person could be called an “adult”.
For girls, the ceremony was called Ji Li. “Ji” is a kind of hairpin (发夹). In ancient times, only girls from rich families could have this ceremony. It was simple and didn’t take much time. Before the ceremony, a girl would tie her hair on the top of her head. At the ceremony, a woman in the family would put a hairpin on a girl’s hair. It meant she was now an adult. After the ceremony, she needed to learn a lot, like the right way to speak and dress.
For boys, the ceremony was called Guan Li. ___48___▲___49___ Before the ceremony, a boy’s family often chose a lucky day and invited many guests. On that day, the boy needed to dress up. The father would wash hands and put three hats on the boy’s head, one by one. Then the boy would change into another set of clothes to go with the color of the hats. After these steps, the boy would become a “man”.

Have you ever felt that your feelings and state of mind sometimes can be influenced by places? Have you ever noticed that certain places especially upset you, or that certain places are especially relaxing and peaceful? Well, there’s a good chance that the colors in those places are playing a part.
Scientists have studied the influence of colors on our feelings, health and the way of thinking for many years. For example, some studies show that blue is a relaxing color. Blue reminds us of the ocean and sky. Pleasant dreams might be the end result of painting the bedroom blue. It has a calming influence on the body, lowering the blood pressure and heart rate, and has a cooling influence in hot and humid weather. Another study shows that blue in the classroom can be a good thing. An angry child would become calmer after being in a classroom painted blue.
But red has the opposite influence. It is an energetic color that can excite and warm the body, and increase the heart rate. Therefore, it may not be so great for bedrooms where you are trying to relax, since it can cause the difficulty in sleep.
Yellow is a very welcoming color. It makes people feel cheerful, energetic and happy. It is a perfect color for a sunroom. Since yellow is easy to be noticed, it is also one of the most attention-getting colors. Yellow can be used to draw notices, such as traffic signs or advertisements.
Green is the most relaxing color on the color wheel. Green reminds us of spring and the new beginning. It brings calmness and hope, and it has a relaxing influence on the body as well as the mind. That’s why it’s suitable for almost any room in the house. The color green can lead to more creative thinking, so green is a good choice for offices.
52. How does the writer lead readers to the introduction about colors?
A. By telling a story. B. By giving some examples.
C. By asking some questions. D. By showing the study result.
53. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. People can’t sleep well in their bedrooms painted blue.
B. Blue is the dream color for many people.
C. Blue bedrooms may bring more pleasant dreams.
D. People like to dream during their sleep.
54. Which two pictures can calm you down according to the text?
a b c d
A. cd B. bd C. ab D. ac
55. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?
A. Green can relax the mind and bring creative thinking.
B. It’s perfect to have a bedroom painted red and a sunroom painted yellow.
C. Blue can excite and warm the body and increase the blood pressure and heart rate.

①Japan’s population is rapidly aging, with 28 percent of its people aged 65 or older. This means there aren’t enough young people doing jobs that need physical strength (力量) like building things and farming.
②To encourage older people to work on, technology companies in Japan have developed special suits called exoskeleton (外骨骼). These suits can make it easier to lift and carry heavy objects.
③“We have no choice, elderly people need to stay in the workplace,” says Daigo Orihara at Innophys. This company has made a suit called the Every Muscle Suit. It’s light, weighing less than 4 kg. It doesn’t need any batteries (电池) or motors (发动机). When users put it on like a backpack, they pump (抽气) air into it 30 times with a hand pump. Then, the suit can help them lift up to 25 kg easily. The suit costs about 1000 pounds and is used by food companies to help worker lift big boxes, by old people’s homes to help workers lift people in and out of bed, as well as by food factories and building companies.
④Another company, Panasonic, is also developing different exoskeleton suits. Its most important one—the Atoun Model Y—costs 4200 pounds. It uses motors instead of air to work and can last for 8 hours. It weighs 4.5 kg and can help users lift up to 10 kg.
⑤Similarly, Japanese company JTEKT, part of the Toyota group, also began selling an exoskeleton. It’s used to help older workers and also runs on a motor.
⑥As Japan is facing the problems of fewer and fewer workers, they may need to raise the age when people stop working. This means there will be even more need for exoskeleton to help older people keep working.

Several years later, however, the boss promoted (提拔) Bobby to manager but John was still a worker. John could not take it, and gave his resignation (辞职信) to the boss. He complained it was unfair because the boss did not think much of those who were hard-working, but promoted only those who flattered (奉承) him.
The boss knew that John had worked very hard for the years. He thought for a moment and said, “Thank you for what you said, but I hope you will do one more thing for our company before you leave.”
John agreed. The boss asked him to go and find anyone selling watermelons in the market. John went and returned soon. He said he had found a man selling watermelons. The boss asked how much they cost every kilogram. John shook his head and went back to the seller to ask and returned to tell the boss $1.2 per kg.
The boss told John to wait a second, and he called Bobby to come to his office. He asked Bobby to go and find anyone selling watermelons in the market. Bobby went and returned, saying, “Boss, only one person is selling watermelons $1.2 per kg, and $10 for 10 kg. The seller has 340 watermelons. On the table there are 58, and each weighs about 2 kilograms. They were brought from the South two days ago. They are fresh and of good quality.”

Ⅷ. 阅读填空(一空一词,每空2分,共16分)
Long ago, the early people did not live in houses as we do today, Most of the homes were in caves or shelters (遮蔽物) which were built in trees. These “homes” were only used as temporary (临时的) shelters to protect them from the sun, the rain and the wild animals in the forests. Men of that time called “cave people”.
These “cave people” usually lived in small groups and life was not easy for them. They had to move from place to place to search for food. They would hunt, fish or pick wild fruit. When they couldn’t find anything to eat, they would leave to find another proper place. Their tools were very simple. They ate raw (生的) food until they learned how to make a fire. For clothing, they used only the bark (树皮) of trees or the skins (皮) of animals to cover their bodies.
However, the lives of the “cave people” changed. They collected the seeds (种子) of wild plants that grew in the forests. Soon they learned to plant fruit, vegetables and other crops. They also kept cows, sheep and other kinds of farm animals for milk, meat and skins. They became farmers and lived in only one certain area. Their groups became larger than before as they lived more settled (固定的) lives. They built houses as long-lasting homes, and as a result, villages and towns developed quickly. The “cave people” began to be civilized (文明的).

Don’t Put Off the Work Today Until Tomorrow
Dear classmates,
With the Senior High School Entrance Examination approaching, students in Junior 3 are getting busier and more stressed out. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Don’t Put Off the Work Today Until Tomorrow
Dear classmates,
With the Senior High School Entrance Examination approaching, students in Junior 3 are getting busier and more stressed out. But there are still many students who like putting off the work today until tomorrow. They stay up so often that they can’t be relaxed in the class. As a result, they haven’t made any progress. So it’s very important for them to use their time wisely and improve the efficiency. Here are two suggestions for you according to my experience.
First, we should develop good study habits, especially the habits of how to improve the efficiency. In my opinion, we should prepare well before class. The most important thing is that we should listen to the teacher carefully and take notes when necessary. It is a good habit to finish the schoolwork on time every day. In our spare time, we had better review what we have learned in the class as often as possible so that we can save our time. Also, we can manage to plan our time well for each subject.
Second, we should have good lifestyles. We should eat healthy food to make our body strong. It’s necessary for us to take exercise for three or four times a week. Exercise is fun and can help us relax. It’s healthy for our body and mind. What’s more, to get enough sleep, go to bed early and don’t stay up late. Healthy lifestyle helps us get good grades and live happily. We can keep a balance between life and study.
Thanks for your listening.
