Born in Iran, Ghaffar has been a big fan of Chinese culture since he was a child. And he is interested in China. In 1993, he happened to watch Beijing Opera performed in London by professionals from Jingju Theatre Company of Beijing. Ghaffar fell in love with the beautiful voices, colorful costumes, excellent shows and so on. So after a year, he arrived in China alone and became a student of Beijing Opera at a school in Beijing. At the age of 32, he had to learn with teenage students every day, starting from the most basic training of the legs and waist. At that time, he was mostly troubled by the dialogue in Beijing Opera. To him, it was the biggest problem. But he never gave up. Four years later, he began to learn to perform the Monkey King, a traditional character from the Chinese classic story Journey to the West. He usually arrived at the workroom an hour earlier than the other performers and he also bought books and CDs to understand the character better. Ghaffar is not only good at speaking Beijing dialect (方言) but also has won the world reputation for Beijing Opera. He once won a top international prize for performing the Monkey King. To help more people enjoy Beijing Opera, Ghaffar often teaches the traditional art form in schools in the United States, Britain and other countries. When he found that the language was difficult to understand, he started to translate the lyrics of Beijing Opera. Ghaffar led a group of actors to perform 66 times in a month and a half in the United States. He also led a 48-member team to perform in Malaysia. In the past 10 years, he has performed in more than 400 shows. 38. Why did Ghaffar start learning Beijing Opera? A. Because he loved Beijing Opera after watching one. B. Because his parents asked him to learn it. C. Because his friend advised him to learn it. D. Because he wanted to be an actor and made lots of money. 39. How old was Ghaffar when he started to learn to perform the Monkey King? A. 30. B. 32. C. 34. D. 36. 40. What does the underlined word “reputation” in Paragraph 6 mean? A. Business. B. Fame. C. Power. D. Time. 41. Put the events about Ghaffar into the correct order. a. He got basic training with teenage students. b He watched a Beijing Opera performance in London. c He bought books and CDs about the Monkey King. d. He won an international prize for performing the Monkey King. A. a-b-c-d B. a-b-d-c C. b-a-c-d D. b-a-d-c 42. What can we know about Ghaffar from the passage? A. He likes to teach his children to speak Beijing dialect. B. He is a patient teacher and teaches students to perform Beijing Opera well. C. He has made an influence on Beijing Opera in other countries. D. He isn’t able to solve any problem about Beijing Opera by himself. 【答案】38. A 39. D 40. B 41. C 42. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一个叫Ghaffar的外国人爱上中国京剧，并来北京刻苦学习，最后取得成功并为京剧的广泛传播做了不懈努力的故事。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In 1993, he happened to watch Beijing Opera performed in London by professionals from Jingju Theatre Company of Beijing. Ghaffar fell in love with the beautiful voices, colorful costumes, excellent shows and so on.”可知，因为他看了一场京剧之后就爱上了京剧。故选A。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据“At the age of 32, he had to learn with teenage students every day,”和“Four years later, he began to learn to perform the Monkey King, a traditional character from the Chinese classic story Journey to the West”可知，32岁时，他每天都要和十几岁的学生一起学习，四年后，他开始学习表演中国经典故事《西游记》中的传统角色孙悟空，也就是在36岁时，故选D。 【40题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Ghaffar is not only good at speaking Beijing dialect (方言) but also has won the world reputation for Beijing Opera.”以及“To help more people enjoy Beijing Opera, Ghaffar often teaches the traditional art form in schools in the United States, Britain and other countries”可知，为了帮助更多的人欣赏京剧，Ghaffar经常在美国、英国和其他国家的学校教授传统艺术形式。所以Ghaffar不仅会说北京话，而且为京剧赢得了世界的声誉。所以reputation表示“名声”，和fame同义，故选B。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In 1993, he happened to watch Beijing Opera performed in London by professionals from Jingju Theatre Company of Beijing”，“At the age of 32, he had to learn with teenage students every day, starting from the most basic training of the legs and waist”，“He usually arrived at the workroom an hour earlier than the other performers and he also bought books and CDs to understand the character better.”以及“He once won a top international prize for performing the Monkey King.”可知，正确的顺序是：他在伦敦看了一场京剧演出→他和十几岁的学生一起接受基本训练→他买了关于孙悟空的书和CD→他表演孙悟空获得了国际大奖。故选C。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据“To help more people enjoy Beijing Opera, Ghaffar often teaches the traditional art form in schools in the United States, Britain and other countries.”可知，为了帮助更多的人欣赏京剧，Ghaffar经常在美国、英国和其他国家的学校教授传统艺术形式，故选C。 C Teachers often find it challenging to collect homework from students before class, and sometimes they even become upset about it. To solve this problem, a 13-year-old middle school student whose family name is Zhang from Shenzhen created a smart robot, which won first prize in the 20th Guangdong Provincial Children’s Invention Awards. This amazing robot can quickly and efficiently (高效地) collect homework from students without any mistake. It uses advanced radio frequency identification (RFID, 无线射频识别) technology to read special tags (标签) on each student’s notebook. Each student’s notebook has a special RFID tag with their names and subject information. When students place their notebooks on the robot, it “reads” the tag and adds it to the correct list. Not only does the robot help teachers collect homework, but it also allows them to check who has and hasn’t handed in their homework by receiving messages from the robot over Wi-Fi. This invention has got the high praise from many teachers, who believe that Zhang’s creativity and talent will lead to even more useful AI tools in the future. Due to his success, Zhang expects to become a scientist when he grows up. “I enjoy doing scientific and creative projects like making model airplanes in my spare time. Inventing gives me a sense of joy and achievement,” he said. With his love for science and innovation (创新), Zhang is well on his way to making the world better through his inventions. His story serves as an inspiration (激励) for other young people to go after their dreams and make a difference in their daily life. 43. What is Zhang’s purpose of creating the smart robot? A. To help parents do housework. B. To help teachers collect homework. C. To help students do their homework. D. To help children take care of themselves. 44. What does the robot do after collecting homework? A. It stores the homework in a safe place. B. It sends messages to teachers. C. It checks the homework and corrects mistakes. D. It deletes the homework from the students’notebooks. 45. What does Zhang enjoy doing in his free time? A. Playing video games. B. Watching TV shows. C. Making model planes. D. Helping his parents with housework. 46. How can Zhang’s story encourage other young people? A. By showing them how to make money from inventions. B. By encouraging them to do a job that is popular and well-paid. C. By teaching them how to use the new technology in their daily lives. D.

However, getting kids to do housework is really good for children in many ways. So I find it hard to understand why you wouldn’t get them to do chores. The most important reason is that getting children to do chores teaches them a lot of life skills. They need to know how to clean, how to cook, how to shop, etc. It is, however, one of the things that schools don’t teach completely, so it is one of the main parts of learning that parents should provide for children before they leave home. Children like to feel proud about their achievements. Making them help around the house can really help to give them a sense of pride. Also, giving them praise for helping will make them want to do more. They will feel happy to be able to help around the house. Giving your children a job to do or an area in the house to look after will help them learn how to be responsible in their future life. They will see the benefit (益处) of keeping things organized, clean and tidy—and also be more thankful for what you do for them as they grow up. Planning is a life skill that can be got from helping around the house. As children get older, you can start to teach them how to understand the needs of themselves and others and plan by themselves. For example, if they help with the washing, let them make sure that they do it in time. They may start to plan ahead. All these reasons for getting kids to help around the house mean that they’ll grow up with a great set of skills that can be good for them throughout their lives. Why not get started today? 48. Who does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Parents. B. Workers. C. Teachers. D. Children. 49. What can give children a sense of pride? A. Helping around the house. B. Learning all by themselves at school. C. Learning some life skills. D. Understanding the needs of themselves. 50. How can children learn to be responsible? A. By planning ahead. B. By finishing homework in time. C. By being given a job to do. D. By being thankful for what they get. 51. What does the writer think about letting kids do chores? A. He is against it. B. He is surprised at it. C. He agrees with it. D. He doesn’t care about it. 52. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】48. D 49. A 50. C 51. C 52. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了孩子做家务的好处及原因。 【48题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“It is, however, one of the things that schools don’t teach completely, so it is one of the main parts of learning that parents should provide for children before they leave home.”可知，做家务是父母应该在孩子离开家之前为他们提供的学习的主要部分之一，they指代children。故选D。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Making them help around the house can really help to give them a sense of pride.”可知，让孩子在家里帮忙可以给他们一种自豪感。故选A。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Giving your children a job to do or an area in the house to look after will help them learn how to be responsible in their future life.”可知，给你的孩子一份工作去做，或者在家里有一个地方让他们照看，这将帮助他们学会如何在未来的生活中负责任。故选C。 【51题详解】 观点态度题。根据“However, getting kids to do housework is really good for children in many ways. So I find it hard to understand why you wouldn’t get them to do chores.”可知，作者赞同让孩子做家务。故选C。 【52题详解】 篇章结构题。根据“However, getting kids to do housework is really good for children in many ways.”可知，第一段介绍做家务对孩子有好处；根据“The most important reason is that getting children to do chores teaches them a lot of life skills.”、“Children like to feel proud about their achievements.”、“Giving your children a job to do or an area in the house to look after will help them learn how to be responsible in their future life.”和“Planning is a life skill that can be got from helping around the house.”可知，第二、三、四、五段具体介绍了做家务能给孩子带来什么好处；根据“All these reasons for getting kids to help around the house mean that they’ll grow up with a great set of skills that can be good for them throughout their lives.”可知，最后一段首尾呼应，再次强调做家务对孩子有好处，所以文章结构为“总——分——总”。故选B。 阅读以下内容，从其后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，有两项是多余的。 Crying brings advantages to both your body and mind. ____53____ It also helps keep your eyes clean.

B Ghaffar Pourazar, a British man, has learned the necessary skills to perform Beijing Opera and he has become popular with his lively performance of the Monkey King. Born in Iran, Ghaffar has been a big fan of Chinese culture since he was a child. And he is interested in China. In 1993, he happened to watch Beijing Opera performed in London by professionals from Jingju Theatre Company of Beijing. Ghaffar fell in love with the beautiful voices, colorful costumes, excellent shows and so on. So after a year, he arrived in China alone and became a student of Beijing Opera at a school in Beijing. At the age of 32, he had to learn with teenage students every day, starting from the most basic training of the legs and waist. At that time, he was mostly troubled by the dialogue in Beijing Opera. To him, it was the biggest problem. But he never gave up. Four years later, he began to learn to perform the Monkey King, a traditional character from the Chinese classic story Journey to the West. He usually arrived at the workroom an hour earlier than the other performers and he also bought books and CDs to understand the character better. Ghaffar is not only good at speaking Beijing dialect (方言) but also has won the world reputation for Beijing Opera. He once won a top international prize for performing the Monkey King. To help more people enjoy Beijing Opera, Ghaffar often teaches the traditional art form in schools in the United States, Britain and other countries. When he found that the language was difficult to understand, he started to translate the lyrics of Beijing Opera. Ghaffar led a group of actors to perform 66 times in a month and a half in the United States. He also led a 48-member team to perform in Malaysia. In the past 10 years, he has performed in more than 400 shows. 38. Why did Ghaffar start learning Beijing Opera? A. Because he loved Beijing Opera after watching one. B. Because his parents asked him to learn it. C. Because his friend advised him to learn it. D. Because he wanted to be an actor and made lots of money. 39. How old was Ghaffar when he started to learn to perform the Monkey King? A. 30. B. 32. C. 34. D. 36. 40. What does the underlined word “reputation” in Paragraph 6 mean? A. Business. B. Fame. C. Power. D. Time. 41. Put the events about Ghaffar into the correct order. a. He got basic training with teenage students. b. He watched a Beijing Opera performance in London. c. He bought books and CDs about the Monkey King. d. He won an international prize for performing the Monkey King. A. a-b-c-d B. a-b-d-c C. b-a-c-d D. b-a-d-c 42. What can we know about Ghaffar from the passage? A. He likes to teach his children to speak Beijing dialect. B. He is a patient teacher and teaches students to perform Beijing Opera well. C. He has made an influence on Beijing Opera in other countries. D. He isn’t able to solve any problem about Beijing Opera by himself. C Teachers often find it challenging to collect homework from students before class, and sometimes they even become upset about it. To solve this problem, a 13-year-old middle school student whose family name is Zhang from Shenzhen created a smart robot, which won first prize in the 20th Guangdong Provincial Children’s Invention Awards. This amazing robot can quickly and efficiently (高效地) collect homework from students without any mistake. It uses advanced radio frequency identification (RFID, 无线射频识别) technology to read special tags (标签) on each student’s notebook. Each student’s notebook has a special RFID tag with their names and subject information. When students place their notebooks on the robot, it “reads” the tag and adds it to the correct list. Not only does the robot help teachers collect homework, but it also allows them to check who has and hasn’t handed in their homework by receiving messages from the robot over Wi-Fi. This invention has got the high praise from many teachers, who believe that Zhang’s creativity and talent will lead to even more useful AI tools in the future. Due to his success, Zhang expects to become a scientist when he grows up. “I enjoy doing scientific and creative projects like making model airplanes in my spare time. Inventing gives me a sense of joy and achievement,” he said. With his love for science and innovation (创新), Zhang is well on his way to making the world better through his inventions. His story serves as an inspiration (激励) for other young people to go after their dreams and make a difference in their daily life. 43. What is Zhang’s purpose of creating the smart robot? A. To help parents do housework. B. To help teachers collect homework. C. To help students do their homework. D. To help children take care of themselves. 44. What does the robot do after collecting homework? A. It stores the homework in a safe place. B. It sends messages to teachers. C. It checks the homework and corrects mistakes. D. It deletes the homework from the students’notebooks. 45. What does Zhang enjoy doing in his free time? A. Playing video games. B. Watching TV shows. C. Making model planes. D. Helping his parents with housework. 46. How can Zhang’s story encourage other young people? A. By showing them how to make money from inventions. B. By encouraging them to do a job that is popular and well-paid. C. By teaching them how to use the new technology in their daily lives. D. By showing that anyone can be successful if they never give up their dreams. 47. What would be the best title for the passage? A. The Joy of Inventing B. The Future of AI Tools C. The Power of Friendship D. The Invention of a Smart Robot D There is always a discussion about whether you should get your kids to do chores at home or not. However, getting kids to do housework is really good for children in many ways. So I find it hard to understand why you wouldn’t get them to do chores. The most important reason is that getting children to do chores teaches them a lot of life skills. They need to know how to clean, how to cook, how to shop, etc. It is, however, one of the things that schools don’t teach completely, so it is one of the main parts of learning that parents should provide for children before they leave home. Children like to feel proud about their achievements. Making them help around the house can really help to give them a sense of pride. Also, giving them praise for helping will make them want to do more. They will feel happy to be able to help around the house. Giving your children a job to do or an area in the house to look after will help them learn how to be responsible in their future life.
