That’s something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all, it’s part of life. But this experience can be devastating. Many people may find it difficult to get over. However, research shows listening to sad music is a good way to help you go through the sadness. In other words, sad music can help comfort (安抚) you. Another research, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” raised their spirits. In fact, it did so when the person found out the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. When people wished that the sad music might help, they found it did. These findings have something to do with the other studies that show accepting your full experience gives you hope. For example, a research from Cornell University found that embracing (拥抱) difficulties about a life experience or new situation, and regarding it as a step towards growth and change, helps you to pass through it. 43. What does the underlined word “devastating” probably mean? A. Painful. B. Shameful. C. Hopeful. D. Cheerful. 44. What can you learn from Paragraph 2? A. People in sadness prefer sad music. B. The University of Kent did research on students. C. When people think sad music can be good, it will help. D. The advantages of sad music have been studied clearly by scientists. 45. What helps people pass through difficulties according to the text? A. Listening to music. B. Asking friends for help. C. Communicating with people. D. Taking difficulties as a kind of growth. 【答案】43. A 44. C 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讨论了悲伤的音乐如何在悲伤的时刻帮助人们感觉更好。 【43题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“But this experience can be devastating. Many people may find it difficult to get over.”可知，许多人可能会觉得这一经历很难克服，所以这种经历应是“毁灭性的”，划线部分与A项“痛苦的”意思相近。故选A。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When people wished that the sad music might help, they found it did.”可知，当人们希望悲伤的音乐能有所帮助时，他们发现它确实起了作用。故选C。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据“embracing (拥抱) difficulties about a life experience or new situation, and regarding it as a step towards growth and change, helps you to pass through it”可知，拥抱生活中的困难，并将其视为迈向成长和改变的一步，有助于你度过难关，所以D项符合。故选D。 D Bi Sheng was born in the Song Dynasty. He lived in a small village which lies in Huanggang today. He invented the printing around 600 AD. He is the world’s first inventor of the printing. It is about 400 years earlier than the printing in Germany. The printing is also called the movable type printing (活字印刷). But how did it work in the past? First of all, the clay was made into movable types. Then words were engraved (雕刻) carefully onto the types. After that the words were chosen and put in right order in a box (方框) according to the text. Next, the workers brushed ink (墨) onto the movable types. Finally, the types could be used for printing. They could be used again and again for different books. The movable type printing plays an important role in Chinese culture. With the help of it, Chinese culture spread around the world more quickly. At the same time, the movable type printing was widely used in the world at that time. As a result, more and more culture communication among countries took place.

In Western culture, snakes are usually considered dark and terrible such as The Farmer and the Viper (《农夫与蛇》), and Voldemort, the main bad character in Harry Potter, whose true form is a snake. It’s not hard to understand. Because snakes, with their strange look and sound, are not exactly cute. But believe it or not, in traditional Chinese culture, snakes are actually a symbol of something good. In Chinese folk stories, for example, the creator of man is a goddess named Nüwa, who had a human head and the body of a snake. She created humans with the yellow earth. Nüwa was kind, peace-loving and brave. She lost her life to mend (修补) the broken sky. In China the snake is also known as xiaolong, the little dragon. Because in Chinese culture, a snake is believed to be like dragons in some way, which may explain why the snake comes right after the dragon in the Chinese Zodiac. 50. What are snakes like in western culture? A. Kind and brave. B. Smart and beautiful. C. Dark and terrible. D. Ugly and scary. 51. Who had a human head and the body of a snake? A. Voldemort. B. Harry Potter. C. The farmer. D. Nüwa. 52. In which part of a magazine can we see the text? A. Culture. B. Education. C. Nature. D. Travel. 【答案】50. C 51. D 52.

When her 22nd birthday was coming, she decided to celebrate it in a special way. She wanted to climb China’s Five Great Mountains in five days. When she was a middle school student, Zhao had an interest in sports and started to ride bikes and climb mountains. So when she talked about climbing the five mountains, her family thought it was a good idea. On April 25, Zhao reached the top of Mount Huashan after a four-hour climb. Then she took trains and buses, and even had a two-hour night climb in Mount Songshan. She then climbed Mount Taishan and Mount Hengshan in Shanxi. The most difficult part was climbing Mount Hengshan in Hunan. “It wasn’t difficult to climb, but I was really tired at that time.” Zhao said. She didn’t have enough time to sleep. After getting to the top of Mount Hengshan, she quickly got back to school. Zhao said planning the trip wasn’t an easy job, either. She needed to book tickets and leave enough time to rest before the next climb. However, she sounded pretty happy when she described the excitement of travelling under the stars, watching the amazing sunrise, and enjoying free winds at the top of the mountains. “The trip is also a gift for my mum, who brought me into this world and has been there for me all these years,” Zhao said. 39. What does the underlined word “it” refer to (指的是)? A. Riding bikes. B. Celebrating the birthday. C. Climbing mountains. D. Having a party. 40. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about? A. How Zhao finished her trip. B. Why Zhao started her trip. C. What Zhao thought of her trip. D. When Zhao finished climbing. 41. What does Zhao think of travelling in nature? A. Worried. B. Surprised. C. Tired. D. Excited. 42. What’s the best title (标题) for the text? A. How to climb mountains B. How to spend a special birthday C. How to travel for a birthday D. How to play sports for a birthday C A broken heart or a sad ending to something. That’s something most of us have experienced or probably will. After all, it’s part of life. But this experience can be devastating. Many people may find it difficult to get over. However, research shows listening to sad music is a good way to help you go through the sadness. In other words, sad music can help comfort (安抚) you. Another research, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” raised their spirits. In fact, it did so when the person found out the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. When people wished that the sad music might help, they found it did. These findings have something to do with the other studies that show accepting your full experience gives you hope. For example, a research from Cornell University found that embracing (拥抱) difficulties about a life experience or new situation, and regarding it as a step towards growth and change, helps you to pass through it. 43. What does the underlined word “devastating” probably mean? A. Painful. B. Shameful. C. Hopeful. D. Cheerful. 44. What can you learn from Paragraph 2? A. People in sadness prefer sad music. B. The University of Kent did research on students. C. When people think sad music can be good, it will help. D. The advantages of sad music have been studied clearly by scientists. 45. What helps people pass through difficulties according to the text? A. Listening to music. B. Asking friends for help. C Communicating with people. D. Taking difficulties as a kind of growth. D Bi Sheng was born in the Song Dynasty. He lived in a small village which lies in Huanggang today. He invented the printing around 600 AD. He is the world’s first inventor of the printing. It is about 400 years earlier than the printing in Germany. The printing is also called the movable type printing (活字印刷). But how did it work in the past? First of all, the clay was made into movable types. Then words were engraved (雕刻) carefully onto the types. After that the words were chosen and put in right order in a box (方框) according to the text. Next, the workers brushed ink (墨) onto the movable types. Finally, the types could be used for printing. They could be used again and again for different books. The movable type printing plays an important role in Chinese culture. With the help of it, Chinese culture spread around the world more quickly. At the same time, the movable type printing was widely used in the world at that time. As a result, more and more culture communication among countries took place. The movable type printing, the compass (指南针), gunpowder (火药) and the paper—making are called “Four Great Inventions of Ancient China”. They make China own an important and even top position in the history of human civilization (文明). 46. When was the movable type printing invented? A. About 600 years ago. B. Around 600 AD. C. Before the Song Dynasty. D. About 400 years ago. 47. What should the workers do after the words were chosen and put in right order? A. Brush ink onto the types. B. Make the clay into movable types. C. Print by using the types. D. Engrave words onto the types. 48. How many steps of the movable type printing are mentioned in the text? A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six. 49. What’s the text mainly about? A. Four great inventions and their position in the history. B. How the movable type printing worked in the past. C. The movable type printing and its importance. D. How Bi Sheng invented the movable type printing. E The snake comes sixth in the Chinese Zodiac (生肖) In Western culture, snakes are usually considered dark and terrible such as The Farmer and the Viper (《农夫与蛇》), and Voldemort, the main bad character in Harry Potter, whose true form is a snake. It’s not hard to understand. Because snakes, with their strange look and sound, are not exactly cute. But believe it or not, in traditional Chinese culture, snakes are actually a symbol of something good. In Chinese folk stories, for example, the creator of man is a goddess named Nüwa, who had a human head and the body of a snake. She created humans with the yellow earth. Nüwa was kind, peace-loving and brave. She lost her life to mend (修补) the broken sky. In China, the snake is also known as xiaolong, the little dragon. Because in Chinese culture, a snake is believed to be like dragons in some way, which may explain why the snake comes right after the dragon in the Chinese Zodiac. 50. What are snakes like in western culture? A. Kind and brave. B. Smart and beautiful. C. Dark and terrible. D. Ugly and scary. 51. Who had a human head and the body of a snake? A. Voldemort. B.
