Once, something unpleasant happened when we both tried for the roles in The Legend of the White Snake (白蛇传). Mary really hoped to be Bai Suzhen. I was sure she could get the role. However, it tuned out that I was picked to be Bai Suzhen and Mary only got the part of Xiao Qing. “Do you want to practice together with me?” I asked. “Sorry, I’m busy this week, “said Mary, without looking at me. “And I will always be busy.” That night at dinner, my parents noticed I was not excited about getting the lead role. They wondered what happened. “Well, Mary was not picked to be Bai Suzhen, but I was. She was unhappy. Maybe she will throw away our friendship.” My father said, “Don’t worry about it. I think this is a chance for you to be an extra-good friend.” “Dad is right,” said my mother. “Sometimes when our friends do well, we may have feelings of envy (嫉妒) and don’t know how to act. Try to give her a little time, space and understanding. I think she will change her mind soon.” Over the next week, I tried my best to give Mary some space. Then one day, on the way to our practice, I met her. “I just want to say, you’re such a great actress when acting as Xiao Qing” I smiled. She seemed happy and explained how she understood the role. When I asked her to help me with my role, she agreed and smiled, too. She even said sorry to me for acting that way at first. Later, we became closer to each other. I’ve learned that people often have a difficult time dealing with envy and disappointment. If you have similar experiences, you can try taking my parents’advice. Give your friend a little time, space and understanding. This might be the perfect chance to be an extra-good friend. 46．Who acts the role of Bai Suzhen? 47．When Mary got the part of Xiao Qing, was she happy or disappointed? 48．When did Lucy’s parents notice that she was not excited? 49．What was Lucy worried about? 50．How does the story of Lucy and Mary end? 51．B．书面表达（15分） 假如你是Tom，正在英国做交换生。近期，班级将举行一次主题为“和谐的亲子关系”的班会，班主任让你写一篇发言稿。内容包括： 1. 讲述一次你和父母之间曾经出现的问题及彼此的感受； 2. 分享解决问题的方法。 作文要求： 1. 不能照抄原文；不得在作文中出现真实的校名和个人的真实姓名； 2. 语句连贯，词数80个左右。作文的开头已经给出，不计入总词数。 Hello, everyone!

The hero, Wukong is from one of the four classic Chinese books, Journey to the West. Players will travel to different places, from green woods to dark caves, each with different monsters (妖怪). The game is popular both in China and in other countries. Many players from other countries even start reading the book, Journey to the West.

They have a fantastic world with heroes like Monkey King, but most of their other heroes come from the old stories from Europe.”和“It’s called Honor of Kings. Many of its heroes come from Chinese history and legends.”可知，文章提到Dota和Dota 2这两款游戏，虽然它们有像孙悟空这样的英雄，但大部分英雄来自欧洲古老的故事；此处存在一个转折，即虽然有些游戏包含了中国元素，但并非完全基于中国文化和故事，所以这里应该介绍一款改变这种状况的游戏；选项B“然而，后来一款令人兴奋的游戏改变了游戏世界。”符合语境。故选B。 23．词句猜测题。根据“It’s called Honor of Kings. Many of its heroes come from Chinese history and legends”可知，《王者荣耀》这个游戏中，应该许多英雄都来自于中国的历史和传说，所以划线单词legends表示“传说”。故选D。 24．推理判断题。根据“Making a game like Black Myth: Wukong takes a lot of time and money.”可知，制作像《黑色神话：悟空》这样的游戏需要花费大量时间和金钱，据此可以推断，制作像《黑色神话：悟空》这样的游戏并不容易。故选A。 25．主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了新游戏《黑神话：悟空》的受欢迎程度，强调了它展示了中国游戏制作人的创意和中国文化的魅力，以及它在全球范围内的广泛影响。故选D。 B A woodcutter started a new job at a timber (木材) company.

Since the company treated him well, the woodcutter was satisfied with his job and worked as hard as he could.”可知，工资和工作条件都很好，所以樵夫喜欢他的工作。故选D。 27．推理判断题。根据“Sharpen? I have no time to sharpen my axe. I have been very busy trying to cut down trees.”可推断，樵夫没有磨斧头，所以才导致工作效率变低，没有像以前那样砍下那么多的树。故选B。 28．细节理解题。根据“Then we leave ourselves in a busy state and become stressed. We will feel less happy.”可知，人们处于忙碌的状态，变得有压力，所以人们感到不那么快乐。故选B。 29．词句猜测题。根据“We have forgotten to continuously improve our skills, so we lose our efficiency.”可知，我们要花时间不断提高我们的技能，我们才会提高效率，才会感到开心快乐；据此可知，划线短语“sharpen your ‘axe’”意为“不断提高技能”。故选C。 30．最佳标题题。综合全文尤其是最后一段“So remember, always take the time to sharpen your ‘axe’.”可知，本文通过讲述樵夫砍树的故事告诉我们生活中要不断提升自己的技能，磨磨我们的斧头，这样我们才不会变得越来越累；选项B“花时间磨炼你的技能”适合作为文章的标题。故选B。 C 配对阅读。左栏是五个人的情况介绍，右栏是七个成语及其解释。请为每个人选择一个合适的成语描述他/她的情况。 31 James began to fall in love with space technology at the age of 4.

I have a good fiend and her name is Mary. Once, something unpleasant happened when we both tried for the roles in The Legend of the White Snake (白蛇传). Mary really hoped to be Bai Suzhen. I was sure she could get the role. However, it tuned out that I was picked to be Bai Suzhen and Mary only got the part of Xiao Qing. “Do you want to practice together with me?” I asked. “Sorry, I’m busy this week, “said Mary, without looking at me. “And I will always be busy.” That night at dinner, my parents noticed I was not excited about getting the lead role. They wondered what happened. “Well, Mary was not picked to be Bai Suzhen, but I was. She was unhappy. Maybe she will throw away our friendship.” My father said, “Don’t worry about it. I think this is a chance for you to be an extra-good friend.” “Dad is right,” said my mother. “Sometimes when our friends do well, we may have feelings of envy (嫉妒) and don’t know how to act. Try to give her a little time, space and understanding. I think she will change her mind soon.” Over the next week, I tried my best to give Mary some space. Then one day, on the way to our practice, I met her. “I just want to say, you’re such a great actress when acting as Xiao Qing” I smiled. She seemed happy and explained how she understood the role. When I asked her to help me with my role, she agreed and smiled, too. She even said sorry to me for acting that way at first. Later, we became closer to each other. I’ve learned that people often have a difficult time dealing with envy and disappointment. If you have similar experiences, you can try taking my parents’advice. Give your friend a little time, space and understanding. This might be the perfect chance to be an extra-good friend. 46．Who acts the role of Bai Suzhen? 47．When Mary got the part of Xiao Qing, was she happy or disappointed? 48．When did Lucy’s parents notice that she was not excited? 49．What was Lucy worried about? 50．How does the story of Lucy and Mary end? 51．B．书面表达（15分） 假如你是Tom，正在英国做交换生。近期，班级将举行一次主题为“和谐的亲子关系”的班会，班主任让你写一篇发言稿。内容包括： 1. 讲述一次你和父母之间曾经出现的问题及彼此的感受； 2. 分享解决问题的方法。 作文要求： 1. 不能照抄原文；不得在作文中出现真实的校名和个人的真实姓名； 2. 语句连贯，词数80个左右。作文的开头已经给出，不计入总词数。 Hello, everyone!
