During that time, I helped her do some housework and buy some food. After the first week, I noticed the food was eaten up quickly. Then I began keeping an eye on my mom. To my surprise, I found that she would put some of the food into a paper bag and go out with it at about nine every morning. And finally, I decided to follow her. I saw her taking the food to the street children. She would also spend a lot of time talking and playing with them. One day, I talked to a neighbor and found out that my mom was well-known in the area. The children were very friendly with her and even thought of her as their own mother.

And she told me something about the children. Some of them lived with an old woman in a small house. Others slept on the street. For years, she was helping the poor street children by giving them food. After she told me everything, I was so moved. She helped others in need. She was really great.

It has about 200 years’ history. It is not only a treasure of the Chinese nation but also a cultural symbol of China. Similar to the western operas, the Beijing Opera is a combination of singing, dancing, martial arts, music and literature, so it is also called the “Oriental (东方的) Opera” by western people. Beijing Opera uses special imagery in creating the characters. All roles are divided according to sex, personality, age, profession and social status. Hangdang is the general term for role types in Beijing Opera. There are four types of roles in Beijing Opera today. They are sheng, dan, jing and chou. The sheng is the male protagonist, the dan the female protagonist, the jing (painted face) a male supporting role with different characteristics, and chou (clown) a comic or negative figure. Each kind of role has their own face-painting and dressing to indicate their identities. The opera’s performance requires not only the mellow voice but also the proficiency of martial actions. A successful opera actor must suffer from the tough practising period. In the old time, the children of poor families were sent to the opera group in order to earn a living. While now, the real opera artists are well respected by opera lovers. Mei Lanfang, one of the most remarkable performing artists in Beijing Opera, was born in Beijing into a poor family. His life was bitter and he had no opportunity to go to school, so he went to the troupe (剧团) when he was 8 years old to learn the Beijing Opera. Mr Mei was on the stage when he was 11 years old to perform the plays of the Beijing Opera. He has been an opera actor for more than 50 years, performing hundreds of traditional plays and over 30 modern plays. He portrayed many bright and lifelike female figures on the stage and became the model in Chinese Beijing Opera and even within the entire artistic circle. 62．Why is Beijing Opera called the “Oriental Opera” by western people? A．Because western people like it very much. B．Because Beijing Opera is the same as the western opera. C．Because Beijing Opera is similar to the western opera. D．Because Beijing Opera is different from the western opera. 63．In the old time, who would be sent to learn Beijing Opera? A．Kids from the poor family. B．Kids from the rich family. C．Kids who were interested in it. D．Kids who were good at martial arts. 64．Which is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A．Beijing Opera is treasure of our nation and also a cultural symbol of China. B．Different roles use different dressing and face-painting to show identities. C．The performance of Beijing Opera needs both good voice and martial arts. D．The opera artists are not well-respected by opera lovers nowadays. 65．What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A．The requirements of performing Beijing Opera. B．Different characters in Beijing Opera. C．A famous opera artist—Mei Lanfang. D．The introduction of Beijing Opera. D When I started Grade 6, our music teacher told us that our school would have a band (乐队) of our own. The band would give a New Year’s concert for our parents. I was truly glad. Here was my big chance again, because playing instrument is always my hobby. This time, I decided to play a cool instrument—the gold and bright trombone. I grow big and strong, so I could blow into the trombone to get a very loud sound. In fact, I was one of the only two students in the class who could make big sounds. At the end of the year, I returned the trombone to school after the performance in the New Year’s concert, thinking that I could not do it all by myself. I thought I should change to something else. The years passed, and I kept looking for the best instrument. I watched a movie with a hero who played the harmonica, and I fell in love with the little instrument at once. But this only lasted until I watched another movie in which the hero played the guitar. I tried and then gave up a few months later, thinking that my fingers were too short. Finally, on a trip to China, I noticed a man playing a stringed (有弦的) instrument called erhu. I bought this two-stringed instrument and carried it by hand for thousands of kilometers back home, but I gave it up three months later. Of all the instruments I tried, none (没有一个) could easily meet my goal. If I’ve learned anything, it’s that they all take time and hard work. 66．Why did the writer choose to play the trombone? A．He could make big sounds. B．Playing the trombone is his hobby. C．The band needed a trombone player. D．His music teacher asked him to have a try. 67．When did the writer decide to give up playing the trombone? A．When he started Grade 6. B．As soon as he joined the band. C．Before he played for his parents. D．After the New Year’s concert. 68．Why did the writer think he should give up the guitar? A．His fingers were short. B．He couldn’t play it by himself. C．It was hard to learn it well. D．He didn’t have any time to practise it. 69．What can we know about the writer? A．Three students in his class could make big sounds out of the trombone. B．He got interested in harmonica after watching a movie. C．Guitar is the first instrument that he learned to play. D．Erhu is his favorite instrument in the end. 70．What would be the best title for the text? A．Join a Band B．Interest Is Important C．Nothing Is Impossible D．Never Give Up Easily 第二节 阅读表达（共5题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 Van Tilburg and his team did a study asking people to describe what boring people are like according to someone they knew. In the study, most people said that a boring person is quiet, has no interests or ideas, and doesn’t have a sense of humor (幽默感). Later studies showed that being seen as boring is a bad personality characteristic (性格特点). And these people are often called introverts (内向的人). So why do some people think introverts are boring? Quiet people usually keep their lives secret (秘密的) and don’t like sharing their lives with others. This is different from what many cultures enjoy: being outgoing and welcome. Because of this, people might wrongly think that “quiet” means “boring”. They believe being very outgoing and sharing everything online shows people are fun. However, thinking that being outgoing is better can be a mistake, according to another study. This idea may start when we are in our teenage years because we have the most friends and are popular with everyone at that time. This kind of popularity can make quiet people feel bad about not being so social (合群的). In fact, introverts have something called a “quiet ego (自我)”. It helps them be able to put themselves in other people’s shoes and see all sides of problems. They not only care about themselves, but also care about others. Their kindness also brings them a feeling of long-lasting happiness. It’s not right to think introverts are boring because introversion has many good points. Introverts are truer to themselves. Knowing being introverted is good can make people feel great about themselves. There can be happiness in being “boring” if you have a quiet, introverted personality. 71．What did most people in the study think of a boring person? 72．Why do some people think introverts are boring? 73．When may people start to think that being outgoing is better? 74．How does the quiet ego help introverts? 75．Are you an introvert? What do you think of introverts? 第四部分 情景交际（满分10分） 补全对话（共5题；每题2分，满分10分） 根据下面的对话情景，在空白处填入一个适当的句子，使对话的意思连贯、完整。 根据下面的对话情景，在每个空白处填上一个适当的句子，使对话的意思连贯、完整。 A: Daniel, help me! B: Hey, Xiaoming! 76 ?

During that time, I helped her do some housework and buy some food. After the first week, I noticed the food was eaten up quickly. Then I began keeping an eye on my mom. To my surprise, I found that she would put some of the food into a paper bag and go out with it at about nine every morning. And finally, I decided to follow her. I saw her taking the food to the street children. She would also spend a lot of time talking and playing with them. One day, I talked to a neighbor and found out that my mom was well-known in the area. The children were very friendly with her and even thought of her as their own mother. Why wouldn’t she want to tell me about it? Was she worried that I would stop buying food if I found out? When my mom got home, I gave her a big hug (拥抱). I told her she should tell me about it. And she told me something about the children. Some of them lived with an old woman in a small house. Others slept on the street.

It has about 200 years’ history. It is not only a treasure of the Chinese nation but also a cultural symbol of China. Similar to the western operas, the Beijing Opera is a combination of singing, dancing, martial arts, music and literature, so it is also called the “Oriental (东方的) Opera” by western people. Beijing Opera uses special imagery in creating the characters. All roles are divided according to sex, personality, age, profession and social status. Hangdang is the general term for role types in Beijing Opera. There are four types of roles in Beijing Opera today. They are sheng, dan, jing and chou. The sheng is the male protagonist, the dan the female protagonist, the jing (painted face) a male supporting role with different characteristics, and chou (clown) a comic or negative figure. Each kind of role has their own face-painting and dressing to indicate their identities. The opera’s performance requires not only the mellow voice but also the proficiency of martial actions. A successful opera actor must suffer from the tough practising period. In the old time, the children of poor families were sent to the opera group in order to earn a living. While now, the real opera artists are well respected by opera lovers. Mei Lanfang, one of the most remarkable performing artists in Beijing Opera, was born in Beijing into a poor family. His life was bitter and he had no opportunity to go to school, so he went to the troupe (剧团) when he was 8 years old to learn the Beijing Opera. Mr Mei was on the stage when he was 11 years old to perform the plays of the Beijing Opera. He has been an opera actor for more than 50 years, performing hundreds of traditional plays and over 30 modern plays. He portrayed many bright and lifelike female figures on the stage and became the model in Chinese Beijing Opera and even within the entire artistic circle. 62．Why is Beijing Opera called the “Oriental Opera” by western people? A．Because western people like it very much. B．Because Beijing Opera is the same as the western opera. C．Because Beijing Opera is similar to the western opera. D．Because Beijing Opera is different from the western opera. 63．In the old time, who would be sent to learn Beijing Opera? A．Kids from the poor family. B．Kids from the rich family.

D When I started Grade 6, our music teacher told us that our school would have a band (乐队) of our own. The band would give a New Year’s concert for our parents. I was truly glad. Here was my big chance again, because playing instrument is always my hobby. This time, I decided to play a cool instrument—the gold and bright trombone. I grow big and strong, so I could blow into the trombone to get a very loud sound. In fact, I was one of the only two students in the class who could make big sounds. At the end of the year, I returned the trombone to school after the performance in the New Year’s concert, thinking that I could not do it all by myself. I thought I should change to something else. The years passed, and I kept looking for the best instrument. I watched a movie with a hero who played the harmonica, and I fell in love with the little instrument at once. But this only lasted until I watched another movie in which the hero played the guitar. I tried and then gave up a few months later, thinking that my fingers were too short. Finally, on a trip to China, I noticed a man playing a stringed (有弦的) instrument called erhu. I bought this two-stringed instrument and carried it by hand for thousands of kilometers back home, but I gave it up three months later. Of all the instruments I tried, none (没有一个) could easily meet my goal. If I’ve learned anything, it’s that they all take time and hard work. 66．Why did the writer choose to play the trombone? A．He could make big sounds. B．Playing the trombone is his hobby. C．The band needed a trombone player. D．His music teacher asked him to have a try. 67．When did the writer decide to give up playing the trombone? A．When he started Grade 6. B．As soon as he joined the band. C．Before he played for his parents. D．After the New Year’s concert. 68．Why did the writer think he should give up the guitar? A．His fingers were short. B．He couldn’t play it by himself. C．It was hard to learn it well. D．He didn’t have any time to practise it. 69．What can we know about the writer? A．Three students in his class could make big sounds out of the trombone. B．He got interested in harmonica after watching a movie. C．Guitar is the first instrument that he learned to play. D．Erhu is his favorite instrument in the end. 70．What would be the best title for the text? A．Join a Band B．Interest Is Important C．Nothing Is Impossible D．Never Give Up Easily 第二节 阅读表达（共5题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 Van Tilburg and his team did a study asking people to describe what boring people are like according to someone they knew. In the study, most people said that a boring person is quiet, has no interests or ideas, and doesn’t have a sense of humor (幽默感). Later studies showed that being seen as boring is a bad personality characteristic (性格特点). And these people are often called introverts (内向的人). So why do some people think introverts are boring? Quiet people usually keep their lives secret (秘密的) and don’t like sharing their lives with others. This is different from what many cultures enjoy: being outgoing and welcome. Because of this, people might wrongly think that “quiet” means “boring”. They believe being very outgoing and sharing everything online shows people are fun. However, thinking that being outgoing is better can be a mistake, according to another study. This idea may start when we are in our teenage years because we have the most friends and are popular with everyone at that time. This kind of popularity can make quiet people feel bad about not being so social (合群的). In fact, introverts have something called a “quiet ego (自我)”. It helps them be able to put themselves in other people’s shoes and see all sides of problems. They not only care about themselves, but also care about others. Their kindness also brings them a feeling of long-lasting happiness. It’s not right to think introverts are boring because introversion has many good points. Introverts are truer to themselves. Knowing being introverted is good can make people feel great about themselves. There can be happiness in being “boring” if you have a quiet, introverted personality. 71．What did most people in the study think of a boring person? 72．Why do some people think introverts are boring? 73．When may people start to think that being outgoing is better? 74．How does the quiet ego help introverts? 75．Are you an introvert? What do you think of introverts? 第四部分 情景交际（满分10分） 补全对话（共5题；每题2分，满分10分） 根据下面的对话情景，在空白处填入一个适当的句子，使对话的意思连贯、完整。 根据下面的对话情景，在每个空白处填上一个适当的句子，使对话的意思连贯、完整。 A: Daniel, help me! B: Hey, Xiaoming! 76 ?
