It was happiness. One weekend, I went to visit my grandparents in the countryside. On my way home a car ran over to me and cut off my arms because of its high speed. Several days later when I woke up at the hospital, I realized I had to spend the rest of my life without arms. How sad I felt at that time! I cried almost every day. Slowly from my tears, I got to know that I must stop to begin a new life. However, it’s easier to say than to do. It took me nearly half a year to get out of the sadness completely. I got so much from my past stories. From then on, I could treat my life with a normal mind. But in my daily life, I often see my classmates get worried about little things: they get a bad grade on a test; they don’t have a mobile phone but others have, and so on. But I only enjoy life. I am lucky to realize something from the accident. It is a waste of our life to focus on (关注) what we have lost. We should always think of what we have had. Happiness depends on what we have! It’s in our hearts: You may still feel unhappy even though you own the whole world. Happiness comes from mastering the art of appreciating (感激) and taking pleasure in what you already have. Judge the following sentences true (T) or false (F) according to the passage. 61. The writer lost his arms in a car accident on his way to his grandparents’. 62.

This is how wind power works. Wind makes windmills spin (旋转). When the windmills spin, they make electricity. Then we can use the electricity. A lot of people think that wind power is new, but that’s not true. For thousands of years, people have used wind to sail boats and move water. We still do those things today, but these days we mostly use wind power to make electricity. Wind power is a very popular source of energy. Most people think that we should use it more and more. First of all, it’s clean. Windmills don’t pollute the environment at all. Second, we can use wind power forever. After all, we will always have wind. Also, wind power is cheap, and it’s getting even cheaper. A lot of people don’t understand wind power very well. They believe that there are problems with wind power, but many of those problems are not real. For example, some people say that windmills are dangerous for birds. It used to be true, but it isn’t true any more. Old windmills killed birds because they spun very fast. New windmills spin slowly, and they aren’t dangerous for birds. However, there are real problems with windmills. One problem is that many people think windmills are very ugly. This is a problem for people, because windmills are often in very pretty areas. Also, wind doesn’t blow all the time, so we can’t use wind power all the time. Finally, windmills are noisy. Wind power is becoming more and more common. Right now, more than 80 countries use wind power. About 2.5 percent of the world’s power comes from the wind. For some countries, that number is a lot larger. Wind power gives Denmark more than 25 percent of its electricity. 71. Why DON’T new windmills kill birds? A. Because birds don’t fly near them. B. Because they spin slowly. C. Because they are shorter than old windmills. 72. When did people start using wind power? A. Over 1, 000 years ago. B. About 80 years ago. C. About 500 years ago. 73. ________, so we CAN’T use wind power all the time. A. Windmills break all the time B. We can’t use windmills at night C. Wind doesn’t blow all the time 74.

And there are six of them in winter. They are beginning of winter, light snow, heavy snow, winter solstice (冬至) , lesser cold (小寒) and greater cold. Beginning of winter usually falls on November 7th or 8th. After beginning of winter, most parts of the country can start to expect cold weather. On this day, after a year of hard work, people are happy to have a rest and spend time with family. The northern China celebrates beginning of winter as the “Small Spring Festival”. People usually have dumplings and mutton soup on that day. Light snow usually falls on November 22nd or 23rd and heavy snow usually falls on December 7th or 8th. When winter solstice comes, it brings the shortest days and the longest nights of the year. Many places around the country can expect the coldest weather yet. People often start counting “nine cold periods” starting from winter solstice. Every cold period has nine days. People believe that after 81 cold days, spring will come. Greater cold comes after lesser cold. The field is covered with snow. And all the people in China are ready to welcome the Spring Festival after it. Of course, a new round of solar terms will start. Answer the following questions according to the passage. 76. How many solar terms are there in winter? __________________________________________________________________________ 77. Which part of China celebrates beginning of winter as the “Small Spring Festival”? __________________________________________________________________________ 78.

It usually falls on December 7th or 8th. 80. Because people believe that after 81 cold days, spring will come. 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了中国冬季的六个节气。 【76题详解】 根据第一段“And there are six of them in winter.”可知，冬天有6个节气。故填6 solar terms. 【77题详解】 根据第二段“The northern China celebrates beginning of winter as the ‘Small Spring Festival’.”可知，中国北方庆祝立冬为“小春节”。故填Northern China. 【78题详解】 根据第三段“When winter solstice comes”可知，“it”指的是冬至。故填Winter solstice. 【79题详解】 根据第三段“heavy snow usually falls on December 7th or 8th.”可知，大雪通常在12月7日或8日到来。故填It usually falls on December 7th or 8th. 【80题详解】 根据第三段“People often start counting ‘nine cold periods’ starting from winter solstice. Every cold period has nine days. People believe that after 81 cold days, spring will come.”可知，人们经常从冬至开始计算“九寒期”，这是因为人们相信经过寒冷的81天后，春天就会到来。故填Because people believe that after 81 cold days, spring will come. 第三部分 书面表达 (共计15分) Ⅵ.

One weekend, I went to visit my grandparents in the countryside. On my way home a car ran over to me and cut off my arms because of its high speed. Several days later when I woke up at the hospital, I realized I had to spend the rest of my life without arms. How sad I felt at that time! I cried almost every day. Slowly from my tears, I got to know that I must stop to begin a new life. However, it’s easier to say than to do. It took me nearly half a year to get out of the sadness completely. I got so much from my past stories. From then on, I could treat my life with a normal mind. But in my daily life, I often see my classmates get worried about little things: they get a bad grade on a test; they don’t have a mobile phone but others have, and so on. But I only enjoy life. I am lucky to realize something from the accident. It is a waste of our life to focus on (关注) what we have lost. We should always think of what we have had. Happiness depends on what we have! It’s in our hearts: You may still feel unhappy even though you own the whole world. Happiness comes from mastering the art of appreciating (感激) and taking pleasure in what you already have. Judge the following sentences true (T) or false (F) according to the passage. 61. The writer lost his arms in a car accident on his way to his grandparents’. 62. The writer spent nearly half a year getting out of the sadness completely. 63. The writer’s classmates never get worried about the little things. 64. The writer feels lucky to realize something from the accident. 65. You will get happiness if you learn to appreciate what you have.

They are beginning of winter, light snow, heavy snow, winter solstice (冬至) , lesser cold (小寒) and greater cold. Beginning of winter usually falls on November 7th or 8th. After beginning of winter, most parts of the country can start to expect cold weather. On this day, after a year of hard work, people are happy to have a rest and spend time with family. The northern China celebrates beginning of winter as the “Small Spring Festival”. People usually have dumplings and mutton soup on that day. Light snow usually falls on November 22nd or 23rd and heavy snow usually falls on December 7th or 8th. When winter solstice comes, it brings the shortest days and the longest nights of the year. Many places around the country can expect the coldest weather yet. People often start counting “nine cold periods” starting from winter solstice. Every cold period has nine days. People believe that after 81 cold days, spring will come. Greater cold comes after lesser cold. The field is covered with snow.
