One week ago, I was out dining with my two foreign friends, Tara and Ruby, celebrating the coming of our winter holiday together. Tara who speaks in an accent (口音) of Liverpool, said, “Girls, we are such GOATS!”
“We what?” I could hardly believe my ears.
“We are GOATS!” Ruby agreed, “Of course we are GOATS, my dear!”
Well, I actually thought of us as pretty young girls. I had never called any of the two friends that way. My face, after hearing this new expression, looked something like this for at least 10 seconds.
“But...Goat as in...?” I continued.
“Oh no, dear, G.O.A.T. means the ‘Greatest of All Time’,” said Ruby, quite embarrassed (尴尬的) by the fact that I might have thought she’d just called me a goat.
“Oh! I see. But is it something you Liverpool people say or is it common?”
“It is quite common! In fact, I think American sport fans started using that for some great basketball players,” brightly added Ruby.
When I left that table a couple of hours later, I did some research with the help of a few dictionaries and here’s what I found out.
G.O.A.T. or GOAT first came out referring to (指) Muhammad Ali, a great boxing player. It meant the “Greatest of All Time”. Later it was also used to refer to other excellent basketball stars, singers, and so on.
So you see, the language is always changing and developing according to the needs of its users. And it’s really interesting. Next time you hear a new expression, keep your cool. Try to do some research with AI or a dictionary and you will learn something new and fun.
21. How did the writer feel when she first heard “GOATS”?
A. Surprised. B. Lucky. C. Embarrassed. D. Sad.
22. What did Ruby think of the word “G.O.A.T.”?
A. She thought it was new. B. She thought it was common.
C. She thought it was impolite. D. She thought it was funny.
23. Which of the following helped the writer learn the word “G.O.A.T.”?
①a trip to Liverpool ②a few dictionaries
③a talk with friends ④a book about Ali
A. ①② B. ③④ C. ②③ D. ①④
24. If a player is referred to as “G.O.A.T.” after a match, what does it mean?
A. He got hurt and was treated. B. He lost the match and was sad.
C. He played well and was praised. D. He broke the rules and was punished.
25. What does the writer want to tell us at the end of the text?
A. Language is hard to learn because it keeps changing.
B. Everyone should learn to keep cool in bad situations.
C. Certain expressions of a language are worth learning.
D. We can learn something new and fun by doing research.
C
Zigong, in Sichuan Province is home to Chinese lanterns. Zigong lanterns are known as the best lanterns in the world. The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty. The festival has rapidly developed with traditional culture and modern technologies, becoming a shining name card for Chinese culture to go out into the world.
“Making a huge lantern requires 17 steps,” said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. “Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker,” Wan added. A special kind of lantern called Sundial, made by Wan’s team, for example, took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process. Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, engineering, and holography (全息摄影术). They are a perfect all-in-one use of lights, sounds and movements.
What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. “Anything that is designed on a lantern can make a wonderful show, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into real works,” said Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China. And the rich themes of Zigong lanterns show the spirit of creativity and warmth from the bottom of the local people’s heart.
The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely. Without doubt, the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is the local tradition of pulling together. Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the collective efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries. It’s believed that Zigong lanterns will reach every corner of the world in the future.
26. Which of the following poets could probably enjoy Zigong lanterns?
A. Cao Cao. B. Li Bai. C. Tao Yuanming. D. Cao Zhi.
27. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
①Holography is a kind of traditional technology.
②It’s hard for a single maker to complete a huge lantern.
③Zigong lanterns are different from the lanterns in other places.
④The workers of Zigong lantern-making work together in a team.
A. ①②③ B. ①④ C. ②③④ D. ②③
28. According to the passage, what’s Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The rich themes of Zigong lanterns.
B. The long history of Zigong lanterns.
C. The excellent inheritors of Zigong lanterns.
D. The modern technologies of Zigong lanterns.
29. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A saying is usually a famous sentence, in which lies a deep meaning. Sayings were usually given by intelligent people in different cultures. ____31____ That usually belongs to ordinary people from their daily life. We call it a Chinese allegory (歇后语).
A Chinese allegory is a saying with two parts. The first part describes the thing, while the second part carries the deep meaning. For example, a common allegory like this is: “A mouse runs across the street—everybody shouts to beat it!” _____32_____
Besides, we have allegories about well-known people. For example, a famous person in Xiangyang history is Guan Yu, a general in the period of the Three Kingdoms (三国时期). He didn’t want to, but had to work for Cao Cao. So, “Guan Yu’s staying in the Cao camp—with the body in the Cao Camp but the heart in the Han Camp” means that he wasn’t truly willing to work for Cao. _____33_____ He lived at the same time in history. It is “Zhuge’s taking the empty-city idea—risking to turn danger into safety.”
_____34_____ We hope you’ll enjoy a happy journey to experience the wonderful Chinese language and its fascinating culture.
“Sending a goose feather (鹅毛) from a thousand miles away—a small gift sent from far away carries deep feelings of friendship”.
“Use a basket to get water—end up with nothing left”.
The last one is for you to guess and try, “To kill the chicken to scare the monkey—_____35_____” You’re sure to make it!
A. Here we share three more for you.
B. to punish someone to warn others.
C. to encourage someone to be brave enough.
D. Here is a special kind of sayings only found in China.

There are different ways to think about and solve problems. Most people just think in the “forward way”.

This is called reverse thinking (逆向思维). It means looking at the problem in an opposite way ____38____ it.
Reverse thinking is ____39____ a really useful problem-solving skill, especially when students fail to solve a problem with forward thinking.
Let’s learn ____40____ to develop reverse thinking. Discuss the question in an opposite way like “How can I have a bad relationship with my parents?”. Offer possible ____41____ and choose at least two. That can give us lots of possibilities—for example, never communicate with them; be ____42____ to them; never help at home. Then go back to your ____43____ and reverse your solution. I should be polite to my parents. I should communicate with them ____44____ or write to them twice a week.

四、读写结合(共两节,满分25分)
第一节 任务型阅读(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,用英文填空或回答问题(请注意每小题的词数要求)。
A kind of grass from China has been making a difference in recent years. It can be cut into pieces and used as a substrate (培养基) for growing mushrooms (蘑菇); it is a kind of good feed for farm animals; it also keeps off strong desert winds. This plant is called Juncao, or “mushroom grass”.
The Juncao technology was introduced to deal with the problem of poverty (贫困) and has turned out to be quite a success. The technology has been introduced into many other countries. Local farmers’ lives have increased a lot, after they grew mushrooms with Juncao. The technology has also won the Geneva State Prize. Lin Zhanxi is the chief scientist at the China National Engineering Research Center of JUNCAO Technology. He was the inventor of the Juncao technology.
In an interview, Lin shared his experience of inventing the Juncao technology. “To help people overcome poverty, in the 1970s, China introduced a mushroom growing technology that uses wood as substrates to help farmers in mountainous areas. But this method led to deforestation. More forests would be cut down to provide wood. To solve the problem, we needed to find other things to replace wood. We tested many kinds of grass to see which one could be used to grow mushrooms, how to process the grass, and how to grow mushrooms with the grass. After three years of hard work, we succeeded in growing mushrooms with grass instead of trees. This is the Juncao technology.”

One week ago, I was out dining with my two foreign friends, Tara and Ruby, celebrating the coming of our winter holiday together. Tara who speaks in an accent (口音) of Liverpool, said, “Girls, we are such GOATS!”
“We what?” I could hardly believe my ears.
“We are GOATS!” Ruby agreed, “Of course we are GOATS, my dear!”
Well, I actually thought of us as pretty young girls. I had never called any of the two friends that way. My face, after hearing this new expression, looked something like this for at least 10 seconds.
“But...Goat as in...?” I continued.
“Oh no, dear, G.O.A.T. means the ‘Greatest of All Time’,” said Ruby, quite embarrassed (尴尬的) by the fact that I might have thought she’d just called me a goat.
“Oh! I see. But is it something you Liverpool people say or is it common?”
“It is quite common! In fact, I think American sport fans started using that for some great basketball players,” brightly added Ruby.
When I left that table a couple of hours later, I did some research with the help of a few dictionaries and here’s what I found out.
G.O.A.T. or GOAT first came out referring to (指) Muhammad Ali, a great boxing player. It meant the “Greatest of All Time”. Later it was also used to refer to other excellent basketball stars, singers, and so on.
So you see, the language is always changing and developing according to the needs of its users. And it’s really interesting. Next time you hear a new expression, keep your cool. Try to do some research with AI or a dictionary and you will learn something new and fun.

A. Surprised. B. Lucky. C. Embarrassed. D. Sad.
22. What did Ruby think of the word “G.O.A.T.”?
A. She thought it was new. B. She thought it was common.
C. She thought it was impolite. D. She thought it was funny.

①a trip to Liverpool ②a few dictionaries
③a talk with friends ④a book about Ali
A. ①② B. ③④ C. ②③ D. ①④
24. If a player is referred to as “G.O.A.T.” after a match, what does it mean?
A. He got hurt and was treated. B. He lost the match and was sad.
C. He played well and was praised. D. He broke the rules and was punished.
25. What does the writer want to tell us at the end of the text?
A. Language is hard to learn because it keeps changing.
B. Everyone should learn to keep cool in bad situations.
C. Certain expressions of a language are worth learning.

Zigong, in Sichuan Province is home to Chinese lanterns. Zigong lanterns are known as the best lanterns in the world. The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty. The festival has rapidly developed with traditional culture and modern technologies, becoming a shining name card for Chinese culture to go out into the world.
“Making a huge lantern requires 17 steps,” said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. “Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker,” Wan added. A special kind of lantern called Sundial, made by Wan’s team, for example, took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process. Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, engineering, and holography (全息摄影术). They are a perfect all-in-one use of lights, sounds and movements.
What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. “Anything that is designed on a lantern can make a wonderful show, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into real works,” said Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China. And the rich themes of Zigong lanterns show the spirit of creativity and warmth from the bottom of the local people’s heart.
The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely. Without doubt, the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is the local tradition of pulling together. Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the collective efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries. It’s believed that Zigong lanterns will reach every corner of the world in the future.
26. Which of the following poets could probably enjoy Zigong lanterns?

【37题详解】
句意:打破水缸,让水远离他,也有助于解决这个问题。根据“keep the water away from him”及所给单词可知,应表达打破水缸,break“打破”,作主语用动名词形式,句首字母大写。故填Breaking。

【39题详解】
句意:逆向思维被认为是一种非常有用的解决问题的技能,尤其是当学生无法用正向思维解决问题时。根据“a really useful problem-solving skill,”可知,是被认为是一种非常有用的解决问题的技能,consider“认为”,空处为被动语态,用consider的过去分词considered。故填considered。
【40题详解】
句意:让我们学习如何培养逆向思维。根据learn可知,是学习如何培养逆向思维,用how“怎样”加不定式作宾语。故填how。
【41题详解】
句意:提供可能的答案,并至少选择两个。根据“Discuss the question”可知,是提供答案,answer“答案”,根据“choose at least two”可知,应表示多种答案,用复数形式。故填answers。
【42题详解】
句意:这会给我们带来很多可能性,例如,永远不要和他们交流;对他们无礼;永远不要在家帮忙。根据“Discuss the question in an opposite way like ‘How can I have a bad relationship with my parents?’.”及所给单词可知,应表达对他们无礼,impolite“没有礼貌的”,形容词作表语。故填impolite。
【43题详解】
句意:然后回到你的问题,颠倒你的解决方案。根据“reverse your solution.”及所给单词可知,应表达回到你的问题,problem“问题”,特指前面提到的问题。故填problem。

A kind of grass from China has been making a difference in recent years. It can be cut into pieces and used as a substrate (培养基) for growing mushrooms (蘑菇); it is a kind of good feed for farm animals; it also keeps off strong desert winds. This plant is called Juncao, or “mushroom grass”.
The Juncao technology was introduced to deal with the problem of poverty (贫困) and has turned out to be quite a success. The technology has been introduced into many other countries. Local farmers’ lives have increased a lot, after they grew mushrooms with Juncao. The technology has also won the Geneva State Prize. Lin Zhanxi is the chief scientist at the China National Engineering Research Center of JUNCAO Technology. He was the inventor of the Juncao technology.
In an interview, Lin shared his experience of inventing the Juncao technology. “To help people overcome poverty, in the 1970s, China introduced a mushroom growing technology that uses wood as substrates to help farmers in mountainous areas. But this method led to deforestation. More forests would be cut down to provide wood. To solve the problem, we needed to find other things to replace wood. We tested many kinds of grass to see which one could be used to grow mushrooms, how to process the grass, and how to grow mushrooms with the grass. After three years of hard work, we succeeded in growing mushrooms with grass instead of trees. This is the Juncao technology.”
46. Juncao can be used for growing mushrooms, feeding farm animals and ________. (不超过5词)
47 Fill in the blanks according to Paragraph 2.
The Juncao Technology
Purpose
________ (不超过8词)
Inventor
Lin Zhanxi

49. I think he is creative and I see him as my hero./ I think he is hard-working and I will learn from him. (开放性试题,言之有理即可)
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了我国特有的养菌技术——“以草代木”的菌草技术。
【46题详解】
根据“It can be cut into pieces and used as a substrate (培养基) for growing mushrooms (蘑菇); it is a kind of good feed for farm animals; it also keeps off strong desert winds. This plant is called Juncao, or ‘mushroom grass’.”可知,菌草可以用作种植蘑菇的基质,是农场动物的一种很好的饲料,还能阻挡强烈的沙漠风。故填keeping off strong desert winds。
【47题详解】
根据“The Juncao technology was introduced to deal with the problem of poverty (贫困) and has turned out to be quite a success.”可知,菌草技术的目的是处理贫困问题,故第一空填To deal with the problem of poverty;根据“The technology has been introduced into many other countries. Local farmers’ lives have increased a lot, after they grew mushrooms with Juncao. The technology has also won the Geneva State Prize.”可知,这项技术已推广到许多其他国家。当地农民在种植金针菇后,生活有了很大改善。该技术还获得了日内瓦州奖。故该项技术增加了农民的收入,故第二空填local farmers’ income。故填To deal with the problem of poverty;local farmers’ income。
【48题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“More forests would be cut down to provide wood.”可知,划线单词表示“砍伐森林”,故选C。
