Though I have had some trouble with the language, I have never had a problem I couldn’t solve. As a native English speaker (土生土长的说英语的人), I can go almost everywhere in the world and find someone to communicate with. I never thought that someone who speaks only Chinese would have a lot of trouble in my country. Recently, the King family that I had met in China moved to Canada. I met them at the airport. My wife and I made meals for them and showed them around where we live. Everything seemed to go smoothly for the first two days as we looked for a car for them, showed them the way to different stores and the nearest city, Victoria. Mr. and Mrs. King had a two-year-old son and soon we became Nainai (grandmother) and Yeye (grandfather). We were having a good time but we didn’t realize Mr. King can’t speak English. Luckily, Mrs. King can speak very good English. Many people with Chinese background live near us. In fact, none of them speak Chinese. Mr. King can’t even buy a mobile phone without his wife’s help. He can’t talk to me, of course. By the third day, he felt lonely and worried. And on the fourth day, we decided to take them to a large Chinese community. Now, we often visit them and they visit us too. Sometimes Mrs. King would still like to live near us but Mr. King cannot. I feel bad because he seems very nice and smart but I can’t talk with him. It seems that neither of us will learn the other’s language because of our ages, maybe we will never have a friendly conversation. But we will think of each other as friends. 49. The writer doesn’t have any trouble in travelling around the world possibly because ________. A. he’s very lucky B. he speaks only English C. he’s good at speaking Chinese D. he is good at communicating with others 50. How did the two families feel on the first two days? A. Sad B. Happy. C. Worried D. Lonely. 51. Who can’t speak English in this passage? A. Mr. King B. Mrs. King C. The writer D. The writer’s wife 【答案】49. D 50. B 51. A 【解析】 【原文】本文叙述了作者有幸到中国旅行很多次。虽然作者在语言上遇到了一些麻烦，但从来没有遇到过一个不能解决的问题。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段里的“As a native English speaker (土生土长的说英语的人)，I can go almost everywhere in the world and find someone to communicate with.”可知，我可以去世界上几乎每一个地方并且找到一起交流的人。可以推测出他善于交流，因此总可以找到交流的人。故选D。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“We were having a good time but we didn’t realize Mr. King can’t speak English.”可知，他们两家玩得开心。故选B。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段“We were having a good time but we didn’t realize Mr. King can’t speak English.”可知，金先生不会讲英语。故选A。 C The size and shape of your ears show your character more than any other part of the face. Other parts of the face change shapes as we get older, but ears do not change their shapes. They only change in size. Reading people’s character from their ears is a very old science. In very old times people thought that a person with big ears had a good and generous character. They thought that a person with pale (nearly white), small ears was dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ears showed whether a person was musical or not. Today, too, many people believe that the size and the shape of the ear help you know if a person is musical. Ears are all different, and each characteristic has a meaning. Next time when you look at a person, see if his or her ears are large or small. Look at the lobes (the lower part of the ear). Are they attached (连着) to the face? Ears that are always red mean that a person may get angry suddenly. Ears that are always cold and pale mean that a person has a nervous (神经质) character. And a big inside hole (耳蜗) of the ear means a person is musical. 52. In the old times people might ask for help from a person with ________. A. red ears B. big ears C. small ears D. pale ears 53. The passage is mainly about ________. A. the size of our ears B. musical ears C. ears and characters D. our faces and ears 54. From the passage, we know ________ don’t change shape as we get older. A. ears B. hair C. eyes D. teeth 55. We can guess Beethoven (贝多芬) may have ________. A. pale ears B. white ears C. small ears D. ears with a big inside hole 56. If you are often late for school, you may find the ears of your teacher ________. A. get bigger B. get smaller C. get colder D. get redder 【答案】52. B 53. C 54. A 55. D 56. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了根据耳朵特征判断人的性格的科学研究。耳朵大的人一般都慷慨大方，耳朵冰冷并苍白的人倾向于紧张。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据“In very old times people thought that a person with big ears had a good and generous character.”可知，在古时候，人们认为一个大耳朵的人有一个良好和慷慨的性格。由此可推断出，在过去，人们可能会向一个有大耳朵的人寻求帮助。故选B。 【53题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“The size and shape of your ears show your character more than any other part of the face.”和全文可知，本文主要讲性格和耳朵有关。故选C。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Other parts of the face change shapes as we get older, but ears do not change their shapes.”可知,面部器官中的耳朵不会随着人们年龄的增长而变化形状。故选A。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据“And a big inside hole of the ear means a person is musical.”可知，耳洞大意味着一个人是音乐人。Beethoven是著名的音乐家，照此可推断他可能有个大耳洞。故选D。 【56题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Ears that are always red mean that a person may get angry suddenly.”可知，耳朵总是红色意味着一个人很容易生气。如果你经常上学迟到，老师会生气，照此可推断老师的耳朵会变得更红。故选D。 D I wanted to go and look at a place in the middle of the island that I had found when I was exploring. We started and soon got to it, because the island was only three miles long and a quarter of a mile wide. This place was a hill about forty feet high. We had a hard time getting to the top. The sides were so steep and the trees were so thick. We walked and climbed around all over it, and found a big hole in the rock. It was a good place to play our game. The hole was as big as two or three rooms, and Jim could stand up straight in it. It was cool there. Jim wanted to put our things there, but I said we didn’t want to be climbing up and down there all the time. Jim said if we had the boat hidden in a good place and put all the things in the hole, we could rush there when anybody was to come to the island. They would never find us without dogs. Besides, he said that little birds had said it was going to rain. We didn’t want the things to get wet. So we went back and got the boat, and pulled all the things up there. Then we found a place close by to hide the boat in, among the thick willows. We took some fish off the lines and set them again, and began to get ready for dinner. The door of the hole was big enough to roll a hogshead (大桶) in, and there was also a good place to build a fire. So we built a fire and cooked dinner. We spread the blankets inside, and ate our dinner. We put all the other things at the back of the hole. Pretty soon it darkened and began to thunder. Directly it began to rain, and I never saw the wind blow so heavily. It was one of these regular summer storms. It would get so dark that it looked all blue-black outside. “Jim, this is nice,” I said. “I wouldn’t want to be nowhere else but here. Pass me another piece of fish and some hot bread.” “Well, if it weren’t for Jim, you wouldn’t stay here. You would stay in the woods, without food, and you would get half-dead from the shower. That’s true, dear. The chickens know when it rains, and so do the birds. I know.” —Adapt from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn 57. The kids went to the island to ________. A. play a game B. take a trip C. build a house D. have a holiday 58. What did Jim suggest doing? A. Finding a hole. B. Going to the hole. C. Leaving the lonely island. D. Stopping others reaching the island. 59. The RIGHT order of the story is ________. a. They went back and got the boat. b. They took some fish off the lines. c. Jim could stand up straight in the hole. d. They began to get ready for their dinner. e. They walked and climbed around all over the hill. A. a-d-b-e-c B. d-b-a-e-c C. e-c-a-b-d D. b-a-d-c-e 60.

They would never find us without dogs.”可知，Jim建议去洞里。故选B。 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章内容可知，正确的顺序应该是他们先爬上山并找到一个大洞（e），然后Jim发现可以在洞里站起来（c），接着他们回去拿船（a），取下一些鱼并重新设置鱼线（b），最后开始准备晚餐（d）。因此，正确的顺序是e-c-a-b-d。故选C。 【60题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It was one of these regular summer storms.”可知故事发生在夏天。文中描述了夏天的暴风雨场景，如天黑、打雷、下雨和刮大风等。故选B。 五、信息还原（每小题2分,计10分） Question: In ancient China, willow branches (柳树枝) were often used as a parting gift between friends and family members. ____61____ Answer: One reason is that willow trees are strong. ____62____ Because of this unique (独特的) feature, giving a willow branch to say goodbye to loved ones is a way to tell them you hope they will easily adapt to their new living environment. Meanwhile, in Mandarin, the pronunciation for the willow tree “liu (柳)” is similar to the character “liu (留)”, which means asking someone to stay — only the tones (声调) are different. ____63____ Even though we know that they must leave, we still do like that. ____64____ At that time, Baqiao, a bridge in Chang’an, today’s Xi’an, was a common place to say goodbye. People often stopped there and handed willow branches to departing (离开的) people. ____65____ In The Book of Poetry, there is the line “When I left there, willows shed tears.” At the time of the Tang and Song dynasties, such poems were common as traveling was easy and poets felt the sorrow of separation. For example, Wang Wei wrote “The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green,” in his famous poem A Fond Farewell to a Friend. A. They can survive in any soil, wet or dry, north or south. B. When the willow leaves become dark green, spring is gone. C. It’s said that this custom became popular during the Han Dynasty. D. Do you know why willow branches are a symbol of farewell (告别)? E. So offering a willow branch is like asking the other party (对方) to stay. F. Willow branches, as a symbol of farewell, are often mentioned in poems. 【答案】61. D 62. A 63. E 64. C 65. F 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了在中国古代，柳树枝经常被作为礼物赠送给朋友和家庭成员的几个原因。 【61题详解】 根据第二段第一句“One reason is that willow trees are strong.”可推测，空白处是问柳树枝作为礼物赠送的原因，选项D“你知道为什么柳树枝作为告别的象征吗？”符合语境。故选D。 【62题详解】 根据第二段第三句“Because of... they will easily adapt to their new living environment.”可推测出，柳枝的适应能力比较强，选项A“他们能够在任何土壤中生存，不管是湿的还是干燥的，北方还是南方。”符合语境。故选A。 【63题详解】 根据第三段第一句“ the pronunciation for the willow tree “liu (柳)” is similar to the character “liu (留)”, which means asking someone to stay — only the tones (声调) are different. ”可知柳树枝有代表希望对方留下来的意思，选项E“所以提供柳树枝就是想要对方留下来。”符合语境。故选E。 【64题详解】 根据后文“At that time, Baqiao, a bridge in Chang’an, today’s Xi’an, was a common place to say goodbye.”可知，上一句说明哪个时期流行这种习俗，选项C“据说这种习俗在汉朝期间变得很受欢迎”符合语境。故选C。 【65题详解】 根据后文“In The Book of Poetry ”可知，上一句表达在诗歌中常被提及，选项F“柳树枝，作为一种告别的象征，经常在诗歌中被提及”符合语境。故选F。 六、（每小题2分，计10分） Shang kings, especially, believed in the power of their ancestors (祖先). They always wanted to ask their ancestors questions about crops, the weather, wars and the ruling family. They used oracle bones (甲骨) to get answers to their questions. First, the king would ask a question: “Will the weather be sunny tomorrow?” The priest (牧师) wrote the king’s question on an oracle bone, which was just a turtle or other animal bone. Then, the priest heated a metal stick. Once heated, the stick was held against the bone. The heat caused a series of small cracks (裂缝) to appear on the surface of the bone. Those cracks formed a picture. Then a special oracle reader, usually a woman, would read the cracks, and provide the king with an answer to his question. Archaeologists (考古学家) have found thousands of oracle bones, each with a question on it. The questions on these oracle bones have told archaeologists a great deal about daily life during the Shang Dynasty. The thing is, the questions did not actually say “Will it be sunny tomorrow?” What the question actually said was something like this, “If I sacrifice (牺牲) 8 men or 3 oxen, will it be sunny tomorrow?” A great many people and animals were sacrificed during Shang times so that Shang kings and queens could ask their ancestors questions. The people they sacrificed might be slaves, or people who were sick, or people caught in war, or someone who made the rich unhappy, or a rich man who made the king angry. No one was safe. The only thing that was important to the Shang kings and queens was getting an answer to their question. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 66. What did the Shang kings believe in? __________________________________________ 67. Where did the priest write the king’s question? __________________________________________ 68. Who would read the cracks and provide an answer? __________________________________________ 69. How many oracle bones have been found? __________________________________________ 70. Why did Shang kings and queens sacrifice many people and animals? __________________________________________ 【答案】66. The power of their ancestors. 67. On an oracle bone. 68. A special oracle reader. 69. Thousands of oracle bones. 70. To ask their ancestors questions. 【解析】 【导语】商王特别相信他们祖先的力量，总是想问祖先关于农作物、天气、战争和统治家族的问题。他们用甲骨来寻找问题的答案。后面许多人和动物被献祭是因为国王和王后想得到他们问题的答案。 【66题详解】 根据“Shang kings, especially, believed in the power of their ancestors (祖先).”可知，商王相信他们祖先的力量。故答案为The power of their ancestors. 【67题详解】 根据“The priest (牧师) wrote the king’s question on an oracle bone”可知，牧师把答案写在一块甲骨上，故答案为On an oracle bone. 【68题详解】 根据“Then a special oracle reader, usually a woman, would read the cracks, and provide the king with an answer to his question.”可知，一位特殊的预言者可以读出裂缝并提供答案，故答案为A special oracle reader. 【69题详解】 根据“Archaeologists (考古学家) have found thousands of oracle bones, each with a question on it.”可知，数千块甲骨已经被找到，故答案为Thousands of oracle bones. 【70题详解】 根据“A great many people and animals were sacrificed during Shang times so that Shang kings and queens could ask their ancestors questions.”可知，许多人和动物被献祭，是因为国王和王后想问他们祖先问题。故答案为To ask their ancestors questions. 七、（每小题1.5分，计15分） 首字母填空。 More and more people are using mobile phones now.

As a native English speaker (土生土长说英语的人), I can go almost everywhere in the world and find someone to communicate with. I never thought that someone who speaks only Chinese would have a lot of trouble in my country. Recently, the King family that I had met in China moved to Canada. I met them at the airport. My wife and I made meals for them and showed them around where we live. Everything seemed to go smoothly for the first two days as we looked for a car for them, showed them the way to different stores and the nearest city, Victoria. Mr. and Mrs. King had a two-year-old son and soon we became Nainai (grandmother) and Yeye (grandfather). We were having a good time but we didn’t realize Mr. King can’t speak English. Luckily, Mrs. King can speak very good English. Many people with Chinese background live near us. In fact, none of them speak Chinese. Mr. King can’t even buy a mobile phone without his wife’s help. He can’t talk to me, of course. By the third day, he felt lonely and worried. And on the fourth day, we decided to take them to a large Chinese community. Now, we often visit them and they visit us too. Sometimes Mrs. King would still like to live near us but Mr. King cannot. I feel bad because he seems very nice and smart but I can’t talk with him. It seems that neither of us will learn the other’s language because of our ages, maybe we will never have a friendly conversation. But we will think of each other as friends. 49. The writer doesn’t have any trouble in travelling around the world possibly because ________. A. he’s very lucky B. he speaks only English C. he’s good at speaking Chinese D. he is good at communicating with others 50. How did the two families feel on the first two days? A. Sad B. Happy. C. Worried D. Lonely. 51. Who can’t speak English in this passage? A. Mr. King B. Mrs. King C. The writer D. The writer’s wife C The size and shape of your ears show your character more than any other part of the face. Other parts of the face change shapes as we get older, but ears do not change their shapes. They only change in size. Reading people’s character from their ears is a very old science. In very old times people thought that a person with big ears had a good and generous character. They thought that a person with pale (nearly white), small ears was dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ears showed whether a person was musical or not. Today, too, many people believe that the size and the shape of the ear help you know if a person is musical. Ears are all different, and each characteristic has a meaning. Next time when you look at a person, see if his or her ears are large or small. Look at the lobes (the lower part of the ear). Are they attached (连着) to the face? Ears that are always red mean that a person may get angry suddenly. Ears that are always cold and pale mean that a person has a nervous (神经质) character. And a big inside hole (耳蜗) of the ear means a person is musical. 52. In the old times people might ask for help from a person with ________. A. red ears B. big ears C. small ears D. pale ears 53. The passage is mainly about ________. A. the size of our ears B. musical ears C. ears and characters D. our faces and ears 54. From the passage, we know ________ don’t change shape as we get older. A. ears B. hair C. eyes D. teeth 55. We can guess Beethoven (贝多芬) may have ________. A. pale ears B. white ears C. small ears D. ears with a big inside hole 56. If you are often late for school, you may find the ears of your teacher ________. A. get bigger B. get smaller C. get colder D. get redder D I wanted to go and look at a place in the middle of the island that I had found when I was exploring. We started and soon got to it, because the island was only three miles long and a quarter of a mile wide. This place was a hill about forty feet high. We had a hard time getting to the top. The sides were so steep and the trees were so thick. We walked and climbed around all over it, and found a big hole in the rock. It was a good place to play our game. The hole was as big as two or three rooms, and Jim could stand up straight in it. It was cool there. Jim wanted to put our things there, but I said we didn’t want to be climbing up and down there all the time. Jim said if we had the boat hidden in a good place and put all the things in the hole, we could rush there when anybody was to come to the island. They would never find us without dogs. Besides, he said that little birds had said it was going to rain. We didn’t want the things to get wet. So we went back and got the boat, and pulled all the things up there. Then we found a place close by to hide the boat in, among the thick willows. We took some fish off the lines and set them again, and began to get ready for dinner. The door of the hole was big enough to roll a hogshead (大桶) in, and there was also a good place to build a fire. So we built a fire and cooked dinner. We spread the blankets inside, and ate our dinner. We put all the other things at the back of the hole. Pretty soon it darkened and began to thunder. Directly it began to rain, and I never saw the wind blow so heavily. It was one of these regular summer storms.

Meanwhile, in Mandarin, the pronunciation for the willow tree “liu (柳)” is similar to the character “liu (留)”, which means asking someone to stay — only the tones (声调) are different. ____63____ Even though we know that they must leave, we still do like that. ____64____ At that time, Baqiao, a bridge in Chang’an, today’s Xi’an, was a common place to say goodbye. People often stopped there and handed willow branches to departing (离开的) people. ____65____ In The Book of Poetry, there is the line “When I left there, willows shed tears.” At the time of the Tang and Song dynasties, such poems were common as traveling was easy and poets felt the sorrow of separation. For example, Wang Wei wrote “The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green,” in his famous poem A Fond Farewell to a Friend. A. They can survive in any soil, wet or dry, north or south. B. When the willow leaves become dark green, spring is gone. C. It’s said that this custom became popular during the Han Dynasty. D. Do you know why willow branches are a symbol of farewell (告别)? E. So offering a willow branch is like asking the other party (对方) to stay. F. Willow branches, as a symbol of farewell, are often mentioned in poems. 六、（每小题2分，计10分） Shang kings, especially, believed in the power of their ancestors (祖先). They always wanted to ask their ancestors questions about crops, the weather, wars and the ruling family. They used oracle bones (甲骨) to get answers to their questions. First, the king would ask a question: “Will the weather be sunny tomorrow?” The priest (牧师) wrote the king’s question on an oracle bone, which was just a turtle or other animal bone. Then, the priest heated a metal stick. Once heated, the stick was held against the bone. The heat caused a series of small cracks (裂缝) to appear on the surface of the bone. Those cracks formed a picture. Then a special oracle reader, usually a woman, would read the cracks, and provide the king with an answer to his question. Archaeologists (考古学家) have found thousands of oracle bones, each with a question on it. The questions on these oracle bones have told archaeologists a great deal about daily life during the Shang Dynasty. The thing is, the questions did not actually say “Will it be sunny tomorrow?” What the question actually said was something like this, “If I sacrifice (牺牲) 8 men or 3 oxen, will it be sunny tomorrow?” A great many people and animals were sacrificed during Shang times so that Shang kings and queens could ask their ancestors questions. The people they sacrificed might be slaves, or people who were sick, or people caught in war, or someone who made the rich unhappy, or a rich man who made the king angry. No one was safe. The only thing that was important to the Shang kings and queens was getting an answer to their question. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 66. What did the Shang kings believe in? __________________________________________ 67. Where did the priest write the king’s question? __________________________________________ 68.
