Put them together to build a kite. A kite connects you to the past. No one knows who flew the first kite. It was probably someone in China or perhaps Indonesia. Indonesian fishermen hung fishhooks on kites and sent them out to sea to catch fish. Starting 2,000 years ago, Chinese farmers flew kites to welcome the New Year and bring good luck to Earth. In China, people also used kites during wartime. One Chinese story tells how soldiers put noise makers on kites and flew them at night over the enemy camp. The enemies were frightened by the noise and ran away. About 1,300 years ago, Chinese travellers took kites to Japan. Soon kites filled the skies there. Kites reached Thailand about 700 years ago. During floods, Thai farmers flew kites over their fields, hoping the kites wold drive away the clouds and stop the rain. Over time, kites flew their way out of Asia. Today, kites are a passion all over the world. Kite fans meet at festivals in many parts of the world and have great fun. Over the years, kites have also helped people understand the natural world. In 1749, thermometers were tied to kites to measure temperatures. In 1906, cameras hanging from kites took pictures of Francisco, California, after an earthquake. The photos helped people plan what to do. Kites also helped inventors find out how to make airplanes. The Wright brothers studied how kites flew, which helped them make the first successful airplane. Since the ancient Chinese first set their kites into the air, people have loved flying kites. Kites give us ways to celebrate, relax and explore. So go and fly a kite! Enjoy the feeling of wonder that kite fliers have felt for centuries. 26．The underlined word “passion” in Paragraph 3 means ________.

Kite fans meet at festivals in many parts of the world and have great fun.”可知，风筝在全世界都受到人们的热爱，因此这里的passion应该是指“强烈的爱”。故选A。 27． 推理判断题。根据“In 1749, thermometers were tied to kites to measure temperatures. In 1906, cameras hanging from kites took pictures of Francisco, California, after an earthquake.”可知，作者是通过举例子的方式来写这一段的。故选D。 28． 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了风筝的历史和它在各个领域的应用，以及风筝给人们带来的乐趣，因此本文的目的是介绍风筝在历史中的角色。故选C。 C ①The Chinese language differs from Western languages in that, instead of an alphabet (字母表）, it uses characters (汉字) which stand for ideas, objects or deeds. Chinese words are formed by putting together different characters. In many cases, a single character can also make up a word. As one kind of the most ancient characters, Chinese characters have played an important part in the development of Chinese culture. At first, ancient Sumerian and ancient Egyptian symbols existed (存在), but only Chinese characters are still in use today. The history of the Chinese language can be examined by looking at how these characters developed. ②Chinese writing began thousands of years ago. According to an ancient story, a man named Cang Jie invented Chinese writing. One winter day while he was hunting, he saw the footprints of animals in the snow and noticed that the appearance of each one was different. Then he had the idea that he could use different shapes to represent different objects. The first Chinese characters were drawings of physical objects. Some characters have been simplified (简化) and others have been made more difficult over time. ③However, as a whole, the characters have developed from drawings into standard forms. The character for a mountain was at first three mountaintops together. This became one mountaintop and three lines, and over time turned into the character used nowadays. ④Sometimes to express ideas, some characters were made by putting two or more characters together. For example, “rest” was made up of the characters for a man and a tree. The character “prisoner” was formed with a “man” inside a square. Other characters were developed for directions and numbers. It is easy to distinguish (区别) their meanings by looking at them, for example, the characters for “up” and “down”, which are opposites of each other. ⑤Though these kinds of characters show meanings, one of their shortcomings is that they do not show how they should be pronounced (发音). Therefore, a way was developed to have one part of a character represent the meaning and the other suggest the pronunciation. Many Chinese characters used today were made this way. ⑥In the 1950s the Chinese government introduced simplified Chinese characters in the hope to make learning to read and write more understandable to a large number of people, which would increase literacy (读写能力) across the country. And now they have widespread use in China's mainland. 29．How did the writer introduce the Chinese characters? A．By giving examples B．By providing causes C．By expressing opinions D．By comparing (比较) facts 30．The sentence “Not all characters were developed from drawings of objects.” would best be placeed at the beginning of ________. A．Paragraph 5 B．Paragraph 4 C．Paragraph 3 D．Paragraph 2 31．What can we learn from the passage? A．Chinese characters have turned into standard forms, which are easier than before. B．Chinese characters we use today have been accepted by large numbers of people. C．Chinese characters existed at the very beginning and are still in use today like other ancient symbols. D．Chinese words and English words are both formed by putting alphabets and characters together. 32．What might be the best title for the passage? A．The difference between Chinese and Western language B．How to form Chinese characters C．The development of Chinese characters D．The history of the Chinese language 【答案】29．A 30．B 31．B 32．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了汉字的发展历史。 29．细节理解题。根据文章最上方的文字以及“For example, ‘rest’ was made up of the characters for a man and a tree. The character ‘prisoner’ was formed with a ‘man’ inside a square.”可知作者通过举例来介绍汉字。故选A。 30．推理判断题。第二段讲述了汉字是从物体的图画发展来的，第三段介绍了汉字已经从图画发展到标准形式。所以Not all characters were developed from drawings of objects.“并不是所有的汉字都是从物体的图画发展而来的”适合放在第四段，承接第三段，引出第四段的内容。故选B。 31．细节理解题。根据“In the 1950s the Chinese government introduced simplified Chinese characters in the hope to make learning to read and write more understandable to the general population, which would increase literacy (读写能力) across the country. And now they have widespread use in China’s mainland.”可知我们今天使用的汉字已经被很多人所接受。故选B。 32．最佳标题题。根据全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了汉字的发展历史。故选C。 D When I was a boy there were no smart phones, and our television only got one channel clearly. Still, I never felt bored. The fields, hills and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground whose adventures (冒险) were only limited by my imagination I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake and walking slowly around it. At the back of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before. It was full of muddy tyre tracks (轮胎印) and deep woods on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure. I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear “turn around and head back home”, but I was headstrong and walked on. There was still neither a car nor a house in sight. I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared. I didn’t want to end up trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again. I continued to walk on with something growing inside of me. My heart was beating quickly and my legs were aching. I was almost in tears (眼泪) when I saw something in the distance. I realized it was a house. I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. It was still over a mile away, but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner. Then I ended my adventure with a good night's sleep. I often thought of that experience recently. Actually, in our life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. They can lead us to our homes here on the earth. They can lead us to our homes in our hearts. May you always walk your path with love! May you always help your fellow travelers along the way! And may your roads always lead you home again! 33．Why did the writer hardly feel bored when he was young? A．He was wild about adventure. B．He could watch TV all day. C．He often imagined playing freely. D．He used to explore old dirty roads. 34．What can we know about the dirt road? A．There was no traffic on it. B．It was a road across the forest. C．It was the only way to the lake. D．He had explored it for many times. 35．What does the underlined word “something” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to? A．doubt. B．hope. C．fear. D．courage. 36．What may be the best title for the passage? A．Every effort will be rewarded B．Be brave to adventure C．Create the future by yourself D．All roads lead home 【答案】33．A 34．B 35．C 36．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者回忆了他小时候的一次冒险经历，他在一个陌生的土路上迷路，但最终找到了回家的路。这个经历让他意识到，无论生活的道路如何曲折，最终都会引领我们回家。 33．推理判断题。根据“The fields, hills and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground whose adventures (冒险) were only limited by my imagination I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake and walking slowly around it.”可知，小时候作者从大自然中寻找快乐，所以从来不感到无聊，故选A。 34．推理判断题。根据“It was full of muddy tyre tracks (轮胎印) and deep woods on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.”可知，这条路到处是泥泞的轮胎印记，两旁是茂密的森林，说明这是一条穿越森林的路，故选B。 35．句意猜测题。根据“I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared. I didn't want to end up trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.”和“My heart was beating quickly and my legs were aching. I was almost in tears (眼泪) when I saw something in the distance.”可知，作者在陌生的路上行走，看到太阳开始下山，他开始害怕，担心在天黑之前无法找到回湖边的路。这些信息表明，作者内心正在生长的“something”是恐惧。故选C。 36．主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了作者小时候的一次冒险经历，他在一个陌生的土路上迷路，但最终找到了回家的路。这个经历让他意识到，无论生活的道路如何曲折，最终都会引领我们回家。因此，文章的最佳标题应该是“All roads lead home”。故选D。 四、还原信息（共4小题;每小题1.5分,满分6分） 阅读下面短文从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Musical instruments Learning to play a musical instrument can change your brain, according to a US study. 37 Although it was said in the past that listening to Mozart or other classical music could make you smarter, there was little evidence to show music could improve brainpower. 38 They are about effects of musical training on skills of language, speech, memory, attention and even emotion.

Many of the translators are young people who are 42 (interest) in learning Chinese culture. Anna Holmwood is one of them. Before she translated in Yong’s novel Legends of the Condor Heroes(《射雕英雄传》), the writer was little 43 (know) to English readers. One reason for this is that his works were too difficult 44 translate. But Anna managed to do it. 45 (attract) by the book’s themes as well as Chinese philosophy(哲学), Anna hoped to bring it to Englishmen. After five 46 (year) of work, the translated book came out in 2018. It was printed seven times in several months in the UK. Many people think Anna did a good job of   47 (explain) things that are “untranslatable”. Learning history at the University of Oxford, Anna began to learn Chinese at 21 after 48 trip in China. She calls 49 (she) “a clumsy(笨拙的) student, just like Guo Jing, but with a truthful heart”. 50 more young people learn to translate Chinese texts and films, more Chinese stories will become available to the world. 【答案】 41．growing 42．interested 43．known 44．to 45．Attracted 46．years 47．explaining 48．a 49．herself 50．As 【导语】本文介绍了现在越来越多的中文书籍和电影被翻译成其他语言，越来越多的翻译者对学习中国文化也越来越感兴趣，更多的中国故事将呈现给世界。 41．句意：近年来，越来越多的中文书籍和电影被翻译成其他语言。此处缺修饰词作定语。结合提示词可推测，应用其现在分词形式，与之构成短语“a growing number of…”，意为“越来越多的……”，符合语境。故填growing。 42．句意：许多翻译者都是对学习中国文化感兴趣的年轻人。结合提示词可推测，空格处应用其形容词形式与之构成固定短语“be interested in… 对……感兴趣”，符合语境。故填interested。 43．句意：这位作家不为英国读者所知。根据“One reason for this is that his works were too difficult…”可知，该作者的书比较难翻译，再结合提示词可推测，应用其过去分词形式与之构成“be little known to sb.”，意为“不为某人所知”，符合语境。故填known。 44．句意：原因之一是他的作品很难翻译。本句在解释这位作家不为人知的原因，结合语境可推测，此处应用不定式与之构成“too+adj.+to do sth.”，意为“太……以至于不能……”。故填to。 45．句意：被这本书的主题和中国哲学所吸引，安娜希望把它带给英国人。分析句子结构可知，空格处应用过去分词作原因状语，相当于原因状语从句：Because she (Anna) was attracted by the book’s themes …。该句省略了主语Anna，与动词attract为逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词形式，表示被动含义，首字母大写。故填Attracted。 46．句意：经过五年的努力，这本翻译的书于2018年出版。结合提示词和“five…of work”可推测，空格处应用year的复数形式，表示“五年的……”。故填years。 47．句意：许多人认为安娜在一些难翻译的方面做得很好。结合提示词和介词“of”可推测，介词后应用动名词。故填explaining。 48．句意：安娜在牛津大学学习历史，21岁时在中国旅行后开始学习中文。结合语境可推测，此处的“trip in china”为首次提到，表泛指，表示“一场在中国之旅”，且trip发音为辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。 49．句意：她称自己是“一个笨手笨脚的学生，就像郭靖一样，但有一颗真诚的心”。结合提示词和动词call可推测，空格处应用其反身代词，作宾语，表示“安娜她自己”，符合语境。故填herself。 50．句意：随着越来越多的年轻人学会翻译中文文本和电影，世界将会有更多的中国故事。分析句子结构可知，此处缺连词，又结合语境可推测，应用引导时间状语从句的连词as，表示“随着……”，符合语境，首字母大写。故填As。 六、根据所给中文完成句子（共6小题;每小题1.5分,满分9分） 51．这个新的体育馆占据了这个学校的四分之一。 This new gym the school. 【答案】takes up one quarter of/takes up one fourth of 【详解】根据句意可知，空白处表示“占据……的四分之一”，take up占据，动词短语，在句中作谓语，此句为一般现在时，主语“This new gym”为第三人称单数，take用第三人称单数形式；表达分数时，分子用基数词，分母用序数词，四分之一表达为one fourth或one quarter，其后跟介词of表示所属关系。故填takes up one quarter/one fourth of。 52．教授太忙了，我们不得不缩短了会议时间。 The professor was the meeting. 【答案】 so busy that we had to cut short/ too busy and we had to cut short/very busy and we had to cut short 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，英文句子缺少“太忙了，我们不得不缩短”，busy“忙的”，we“我们”，have to“不得不”，cut short“缩短”；根据“was”可知，时态是一般过去时，动词have要变成过去式had；①句子可采用so...that...“如此……以至于……”，译作so busy that we had to cut short；②也可采用and连接两个并列句，“太”可用too或very表示，译作too/very busy and we had to cut short。故填so busy that we had to cut short/too/very busy and we had to cut short。 53．我对这个饭店的服务一点都不满意。 I of the hotel at all. 【答案】am/was not satisfied/happy/pleased with the service 【详解】not...at all“一点也不”；be satisfied/happy/pleased with“对……满意”；the service“服务”；此句时态为一般现在时或一般过去时，主语是I，be动词用am或was。故填am/was not satisfied/happy/pleased with the service。 54．昨晚你的私人文件被撒得满地都是，你知道吗？ Do you know last night? 【答案】that your private papers were spread all over the floor/your private papers were spread all over the floor 【详解】你的私人文件“your private papers”，被撒“were spread”，满地都是“all over the floor”，结合句意可知，此处是宾语从句，用陈述语序。故填that your private papers were spread all over the floor/your private papers were spread all over the floor。 55．未来宇宙飞船以光速运行是有可能的。 It is possible that the spacecraft in the future. 【答案】will travel at the speed of light 【详解】“以光速”at the speed of light；“运行”travel。根据“in the future”可知从句用一般将来时，其结构为will do。故填will travel at the speed of light。 56．我们的行星正变得越来越拥挤、污染越来越严重。 Our planet is becoming . 【答案】more and more crowded and polluted 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，crowded表示“拥挤的”，polluted表示“受污染的”。此处是结构“比较级+and+比较级”结构，表示“越来越……”。crowded和polluted是多音节词，它们的比较级在前面加more，即more and more crowded and polluted，and表示并列。故填more and more crowded and polluted。 七、书面表达（共1题;满分15分） 57．假如你是学生 Huang Lei，你的学校正在开展“最美教师”的评选活动，你想推荐你们班的赵老师获得今年的最佳教师，根据提示和要求用英文写一封推荐信。内容提示见下表。 基本信息 1.有绘画天赋，作品常获奖； 2.喜欢观看关于体育的电视节目。 优秀品质 1.有耐心，有爱心，经常捐钱给需要的人； 2.对学生严格， 一直关心学生。 个人想法 1.经常鼓励学生，遇到困难不放弃； 2.希望通过他的努力帮助更多学生。 对他的评价 …… 写作要求：1.短文必须包含所有要点，可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 2.字迹工整，卷面整洁，语言精练，表达准确，条理清楚，语法正确； 3.文中不能出现真实校名、人名和其他真实信息； 4.词数为100左右。 (开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。) Dear Sir or Madam, I’m writing to recommend (推荐) Mr. Zhao for this year’s Best Teacher Award (奖). _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours faithfully, Huang Lei 【答案】例文 Dear Sir or Madam, I’m writing to recommend Mr. Zhao for this year’s Best Teacher Award.

Paper, sticks, glue and string are all you need. Put them together to build a kite. A kite connects you to the past. No one knows who flew the first kite. It was probably someone in China or perhaps Indonesia. Indonesian fishermen hung fishhooks on kites and sent them out to sea to catch fish. Starting 2,000 years ago, Chinese farmers flew kites to welcome the New Year and bring good luck to Earth. In China, people also used kites during wartime. One Chinese story tells how soldiers put noise makers on kites and flew them at night over the enemy camp. The enemies were frightened by the noise and ran away. About 1,300 years ago, Chinese travellers took kites to Japan. Soon kites filled the skies there. Kites reached Thailand about 700 years ago. During floods, Thai farmers flew kites over their fields, hoping the kites wold drive away the clouds and stop the rain. Over time, kites flew their way out of Asia. Today, kites are a passion all over the world. Kite fans meet at festivals in many parts of the world and have great fun. Over the years, kites have also helped people understand the natural world. In 1749, thermometers were tied to kites to measure temperatures. In 1906, cameras hanging from kites took pictures of Francisco, California, after an earthquake. The photos helped people plan what to do. Kites also helped inventors find out how to make airplanes. The Wright brothers studied how kites flew, which helped them make the first successful airplane. Since the ancient Chinese first set their kites into the air, people have loved flying kites. Kites give us ways to celebrate, relax and explore. So go and fly a kite! Enjoy the feeling of wonder that kite fliers have felt for centuries. 26．The underlined word “passion” in Paragraph 3 means ________.

C ①The Chinese language differs from Western languages in that, instead of an alphabet (字母表）, it uses characters (汉字) which stand for ideas, objects or deeds. Chinese words are formed by putting together different characters. In many cases, a single character can also make up a word. As one kind of the most ancient characters, Chinese characters have played an important part in the development of Chinese culture. At first, ancient Sumerian and ancient Egyptian symbols existed (存在), but only Chinese characters are still in use today. The history of the Chinese language can be examined by looking at how these characters developed. ②Chinese writing began thousands of years ago. According to an ancient story, a man named Cang Jie invented Chinese writing. One winter day while he was hunting, he saw the footprints of animals in the snow and noticed that the appearance of each one was different. Then he had the idea that he could use different shapes to represent different objects. The first Chinese characters were drawings of physical objects. Some characters have been simplified (简化) and others have been made more difficult over time. ③However, as a whole, the characters have developed from drawings into standard forms. The character for a mountain was at first three mountaintops together. This became one mountaintop and three lines, and over time turned into the character used nowadays. ④Sometimes to express ideas, some characters were made by putting two or more characters together. For example, “rest” was made up of the characters for a man and a tree. The character “prisoner” was formed with a “man” inside a square. Other characters were developed for directions and numbers. It is easy to distinguish (区别) their meanings by looking at them, for example, the characters for “up” and “down”, which are opposites of each other. ⑤Though these kinds of characters show meanings, one of their shortcomings is that they do not show how they should be pronounced (发音). Therefore, a way was developed to have one part of a character represent the meaning and the other suggest the pronunciation. Many Chinese characters used today were made this way. ⑥In the 1950s the Chinese government introduced simplified Chinese characters in the hope to make learning to read and write more understandable to a large number of people, which would increase literacy (读写能力) across the country. And now they have widespread use in China's mainland. 29．How did the writer introduce the Chinese characters? A．By giving examples B．By providing causes C．By expressing opinions D．By comparing (比较) facts 30．The sentence “Not all characters were developed from drawings of objects.” would best be placeed at the beginning of ________. A．Paragraph 5 B．Paragraph 4 C．Paragraph 3 D．Paragraph 2 31．What can we learn from the passage? A．Chinese characters have turned into standard forms, which are easier than before. B．Chinese characters we use today have been accepted by large numbers of people. C．Chinese characters existed at the very beginning and are still in use today like other ancient symbols. D．Chinese words and English words are both formed by putting alphabets and characters together. 32．What might be the best title for the passage? A．The difference between Chinese and Western language B．How to form Chinese characters C．The development of Chinese characters D．The history of the Chinese language D When I was a boy there were no smart phones, and our television only got one channel clearly. Still, I never felt bored. The fields, hills and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground whose adventures (冒险) were only limited by my imagination I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake and walking slowly around it. At the back of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before. It was full of muddy tyre tracks (轮胎印) and deep woods on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure. I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear “turn around and head back home”, but I was headstrong and walked on. There was still neither a car nor a house in sight. I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared. I didn’t want to end up trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again. I continued to walk on with something growing inside of me. My heart was beating quickly and my legs were aching. I was almost in tears (眼泪) when I saw something in the distance. I realized it was a house. I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. It was still over a mile away, but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner. Then I ended my adventure with a good night's sleep. I often thought of that experience recently. Actually, in our life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. They can lead us to our homes here on the earth. They can lead us to our homes in our hearts. May you always walk your path with love! May you always help your fellow travelers along the way! And may your roads always lead you home again! 33．Why did the writer hardly feel bored when he was young? A．He was wild about adventure. B．He could watch TV all day. C．He often imagined playing freely. D．He used to explore old dirty roads. 34．What can we know about the dirt road? A．There was no traffic on it. B．It was a road across the forest. C．It was the only way to the lake. D．He had explored it for many times. 35．What does the underlined word “something” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to? A．doubt. B．hope. C．fear.

It was probably someone in China or perhaps Indonesia. Indonesian fishermen hung fishhooks on kites and sent them out to sea to catch fish. Starting 2,000 years ago, Chinese farmers flew kites to welcome the New Year and bring good luck to Earth. In China, people also used kites during wartime. One Chinese story tells how soldiers put noise makers on kites and flew them at night over the enemy camp. The enemies were frightened by the noise and ran away. About 1,300 years ago, Chinese travellers took kites to Japan. Soon kites filled the skies there. Kites reached Thailand about 700 years ago. During floods, Thai farmers flew kites over their fields, hoping the kites wold drive away the clouds and stop the rain. Over time, kites flew their way out of Asia. Today, kites are a passion all over the world. Kite fans meet at festivals in many parts of the world and have great fun. Over the years, kites have also helped people understand the natural world. In 1749, thermometers were tied to kites to measure temperatures. In 1906, cameras hanging from kites took pictures of Francisco, California, after an earthquake. The photos helped people plan what to do. Kites also helped inventors find out how to make airplanes. The Wright brothers studied how kites flew, which helped them make the first successful airplane. Since the ancient Chinese first set their kites into the air, people have loved flying kites. Kites give us ways to celebrate, relax and explore. So go and fly a kite! Enjoy the feeling of wonder that kite fliers have felt for centuries. 26．The underlined word “passion” in Paragraph 3 means ________.

C ①The Chinese language differs from Western languages in that, instead of an alphabet (字母表）, it uses characters (汉字) which stand for ideas, objects or deeds. Chinese words are formed by putting together different characters. In many cases, a single character can also make up a word. As one kind of the most ancient characters, Chinese characters have played an important part in the development of Chinese culture. At first, ancient Sumerian and ancient Egyptian symbols existed (存在), but only Chinese characters are still in use today. The history of the Chinese language can be examined by looking at how these characters developed. ②Chinese writing began thousands of years ago. According to an ancient story, a man named Cang Jie invented Chinese writing. One winter day while he was hunting, he saw the footprints of animals in the snow and noticed that the appearance of each one was different. Then he had the idea that he could use different shapes to represent different objects. The first Chinese characters were drawings of physical objects. Some characters have been simplified (简化) and others have been made more difficult over time. ③However, as a whole, the characters have developed from drawings into standard forms. The character for a mountain was at first three mountaintops together. This became one mountaintop and three lines, and over time turned into the character used nowadays. ④Sometimes to express ideas, some characters were made by putting two or more characters together. For example, “rest” was made up of the characters for a man and a tree. The character “prisoner” was formed with a “man” inside a square. Other characters were developed for directions and numbers. It is easy to distinguish (区别) their meanings by looking at them, for example, the characters for “up” and “down”, which are opposites of each other. ⑤Though these kinds of characters show meanings, one of their shortcomings is that they do not show how they should be pronounced (发音). Therefore, a way was developed to have one part of a character represent the meaning and the other suggest the pronunciation. Many Chinese characters used today were made this way. ⑥In the 1950s the Chinese government introduced simplified Chinese characters in the hope to make learning to read and write more understandable to a large number of people, which would increase literacy (读写能力) across the country. And now they have widespread use in China's mainland. 29．How did the writer introduce the Chinese characters? A．By giving examples B．By providing causes C．By expressing opinions D．By comparing (比较) facts 30．The sentence “Not all characters were developed from drawings of objects.” would best be placeed at the beginning of ________. A．Paragraph 5 B．Paragraph 4 C．Paragraph 3 D．Paragraph 2 31．What can we learn from the passage? A．Chinese characters have turned into standard forms, which are easier than before. B．Chinese characters we use today have been accepted by large numbers of people. C．Chinese characters existed at the very beginning and are still in use today like other ancient symbols. D．Chinese words and English words are both formed by putting alphabets and characters together. 32．What might be the best title for the passage? A．The difference between Chinese and Western language B．How to form Chinese characters C．The development of Chinese characters D．The history of the Chinese language D When I was a boy there were no smart phones, and our television only got one channel clearly. Still, I never felt bored. The fields, hills and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground whose adventures (冒险) were only limited by my imagination I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake and walking slowly around it. At the back of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before. It was full of muddy tyre tracks (轮胎印) and deep woods on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure. I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear “turn around and head back home”, but I was headstrong and walked on. There was still neither a car nor a house in sight. I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared. I didn’t want to end up trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again. I continued to walk on with something growing inside of me. My heart was beating quickly and my legs were aching. I was almost in tears (眼泪) when I saw something in the distance. I realized it was a house. I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. It was still over a mile away, but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner. Then I ended my adventure with a good night's sleep. I often thought of that experience recently. Actually, in our life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. They can lead us to our homes here on the earth. They can lead us to our homes in our hearts. May you always walk your path with love! May you always help your fellow travelers along the way! And may your roads always lead you home again! 33．Why did the writer hardly feel bored when he was young? A．He was wild about adventure. B．He could watch TV all day. C．He often imagined playing freely. D．He used to explore old dirty roads. 34．What can we know about the dirt road? A．There was no traffic on it. B．It was a road across the forest. C．It was the only way to the lake. D．He had explored it for many times. 35．What does the underlined word “something” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to? A．doubt. B．hope. C．fear. D．courage. 36．What may be the best title for the passage? A．Every effort will be rewarded B．Be brave to adventure C．Create the future by yourself D．All roads lead home 四、还原信息（共4小题;每小题1.5分,满分6分） 阅读下面短文从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Musical instruments Learning to play a musical instrument can change your brain, according to a US study. 37 Although it was said in the past that listening to Mozart or other classical music could make you smarter, there was little evidence to show music could improve brainpower. 38 They are about effects of musical training on skills of language, speech, memory, attention and even emotion.
