Each shape has its own meaning. Now you can see it as a decoration (装饰物) or a gift for friends. People can use different colours to weave a Chinese knot, but they usually choose red because it means good luck. The Chinese knot has a long history. People might have first made them to record information and send messages before they started to use words. It is well-known that the knots were used for decoration and to express thoughts and feelings in the Tang dynasty. They were later popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties. But it was not until the Qing dynasty that this art became really accepted by most people. Even today, Chinese knots are rich in different meanings, and they hold sentimental (情感的) value when gifted or passed down through families. For example, lovers may give a knot to show their love. The “double happiness knot” is given and used at weddings to express each other’s love and wishes for growing old together. Many foreign tourists like to buy Chinese knots as gifts when they return home. Yiwu Commodity (商品) Market in Zhejiang province is one of the millions of places with all kinds of beautiful Chinese knots. 11．Which part of a Chinese knot mainly shows its different meaning? A．The colour. B．The shape. C．The rope. D．The size. 12．When did Chinese knots become common? A．In the Tang dynasty. B．In the Song dynasty. C．In the Ming dynasty. D．In the Qing dynasty. 13．Why is the double happiness knot mentioned? A．To show the steps to weave it. B．To show Chinese knots’ rich meanings. C．Because it is used in almost every family. D．Because it’s the most popular of Chinese knots. 14．From the last paragraph, what we know about buying Chinese knots in China? A．convenient B．expensive C．meaningful D．important 15．In which part of a newspaper may you read the passage? A．Magic World. B．Scientific Study. C．School Time. D．Traditional Culture. B How do you greet your friends? People from different cultures have different answers: shaking hands, nodding, bowing, kissing on the face. But have you ever wondered how animals “say hello” to each other? Here are some examples. Everyone knows how similar chimpanzees (黑猩猩) are to humans. So it’s no surprise that their greetings are also close to ours. The most common ways of greeting between chimpanzees are hand touching and hugging. Sometimes they also kiss each other. Some chimpanzees can even learn simple sign language. Giraffes make few loud sounds. Their necks can reach two meters in length, making them useful in greeting each other. When two giraffes meet, they may “shake” their necks and rub (摩擦) them against each other. This is to feel how strong and tall the other is. Dolphins greet one another with whistles (哨声). They can hear other dolphins from many kilometers away. Every dolphin has a different whistle. When two groups of dolphins meet, they each choose a member to “talk” to the other group. The two groups can then travel together. Unlike most of the other animals, dolphins are smart enough to learn a new language by inventing and copying new sounds. 16．How do chimpanzees usually greet each other? A．Nodding and bowing. B．Kissing on the face. C．Touching hands and hugging. D．Using a lot of sign language. 17．Why giraffes rub their necks when they meet? A．To reach taller trees. B．To make loud sounds. C．To know about each other. D．To fight with each other. 18．How are dolphins like? A．Friendly and clever. B．Strong and playful. C．Lazy and quiet. D．Caring and peaceful. 19．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Giraffes are about two meters tall. B．Dolphins can hear each other from far away. C．Most animals can learn a new language. D．Chimpanzees can speak simple words. 20．What is the structure of the passage? A．B．C．D． C We are told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and are given lunch breaks at school. However, is this the healthiest way to eat? Should we eat three meals a day? Before considering how often we should eat, scientists advise us to consider when we shouldn’t. Intermittent fasting (间歇性断食), where you stop eating food for many hours, has become a popular area of research. It allows our stomach to rest. It helps our body to clear broken proteins (蛋白质), which protects us against many diseases. But if intermittent fasting is a healthy way to eat, how many meals does this leave room for? Some experts argue that it is best to have one meal a day. David Levitsky, professor at Cornell University, does this himself. Wouldn’t one meal a day leave us feeling hungry? Not always, because hunger is often a feeling. “When the clock says 12p. m., we may get feelings to eat, but before we had fridges and supermarkets, we ate when there was food.” Another expert, Manoogan, doesn’t agree with it. He says it can make our blood glucose (血糖) go up. To keep our blood glucose low, we need to eat regularly. Two or three meals a day is the best. And we should eat most of our food earlier in the day. “Then our bodies can use the energy from our food all day, instead of saving it as fat (脂肪).” Even if intermittent fasting is the healthiest way to eat, it may not be a good idea for everyone. If you want to try it, remember to check with your doctor first. 21．How does the writer introduce the topic? A．By telling a story. B．By asking questions. C．By using a saying. D．By making a comparison. 22．Which benefits can intermittent fasting bring? ①Fixing broken proteins.         ②Allowing the stomach to rest. ③Helping scientists do research.     ④Keeping us safe from some illness. A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①②④ D．①③④ 23．Why does Levitsky say that one meal a day might not leave us feeling hungry? A．Because our bodies can save food as fat. B．Because we have fridges and supermarkets. C．Because we can choose to eat whenever we want. D．Because we often eat out of habit, not true hunger. 24．What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．One meal a day. B．Three meals a day. C．Intermittent fasting. D．Eating much at night. 25．What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph? A．We can’t do anything until we know more. B．Doctors suggest we try intermittent fasting. C．Intermittent fasting doesn’t work for everyone. D．Seeing the doctor is the best way to become healthy. 第二节 阅读还原6选5(共5小题，每小题2分吗，满分10分) Each country in the world has its own traditional clothes. 26 Let’s have a look at three kinds of well-known traditional Chinese clothes.

When I was a child, other kids often laughed at me. They made fun of me for 36 (be) short. Even as an adult, I sometimes heard words about 37 (I) height. It wasn’t fun, but I’ve learned how 38 (find) a way out over time. It’s usually not 39 big problem. In fact, it seems that women are more nervous than men when it comes to body-image problems in China. A perfect Chinese woman 40 (describe) as “tall and thin”—but in real life, not everyone can achieve (实现) this. I have some 41 (friend) that are women here, and they often complain (抱怨) about themselves because of this. It’s really too bad when I think they look beautiful. 42 , Chinese men don’t seem to receive much attention (注意) about how they look—people seem to care more about men’s incomes (收入) or jobs. Sometimes I’m asked questions 43 others, questions like “How much do you make?” or “What’s your job?” Not many people appear to care if I’m a bit fat or short. Our biggest critics (批评者) are ourselves. If you don’t feel good about your body, don’t be too hard on yourself. You can’t magically make yourself taller or 44 (thin), but you can go into the outside world confidently. No matter 45 you look like on the outside, if you know you are beautiful, nothing can change that. 四、书面表达(15分) 46．手语作为一种重要的沟通方式，正受到越来越多人的关注。深圳作为一座“义工之城”，需要招募更多的志愿者来提供手语服务。假如你是李华，请根据以下要点写一封倡议书号召同学们积极参加。 要点： 目的 1.为有听力障碍和语言障碍的人士提供帮助 2.培养初中生的社会责任感 影响 对个人成长和社会责任感方面(请补充) 号召与倡议 ……(请补充) 要求： 1.80词左右(给出部分不计入总词数)； 2.要点齐全，可适当发挥； 3.条理清晰，语句通顺，意义连贯，书写规范； 4.文中不得出现真实姓名和校名。 参考词汇： 手语sign language；听力障碍和语言障碍hearing and speech impairment；志愿者之城City of Volunteers Dear fellow students, I am excited to share an inspiring opportunity with you all! _________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sincerely, Li Hua 参考答案 一、 1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．B 6．B 7．A 8．C 9．D 10．B 【导语】本文讲述了深圳大学志愿者林晓响应政府的振兴乡村教育的号召，参与教学项目的事情。 1．句意：来自深圳大学的一位志愿教师林晓说。 actors演员；lawyers律师；doctors医生；teachers教师。根据“In front of her, there were 45 country school fifth graders listening excitedly.”可知是一位老师。故选D。 2．句意：三年来，像林这样的志愿者在赣州市上堡村度过了他们的暑假，在那里，这些教育改善期望会发生。 springs春天；summers夏季；autumns秋季；winters冬天。根据下文“One summer may not bring decisive changes to the children,”可知是，像林这样的志愿者在赣州市上堡村度过了他们的暑假。故选B。 3．句意：三年来，像林这样的志愿者在赣州市上堡村度过了他们的暑假，在那里，这些教育改善期望会发生。 take place发生，进行，举行；make money赚钱；pay attention注意；ask permission请求许可。根据“these educational improvements are expected to”可知在赣州市上堡村，教育改善期望会发生，故选A。 4．句意：虽然生活条件很糟糕，但她相信这次经历对改善当地学生的生活很有价值。 fine好的；basic基本的；terrible可怕的，糟糕的；special特别的，特殊的。根据“Although the living conditions were…making the lives of local students better.”可知，生活条件很糟糕，艰苦，故选C。 5．句意：在教学过程中，林发现乡村学校的学生往往因为材料少和使用英语的机会少对英语缺乏兴趣。 rights权利；chances机会；minutes分钟；decisions决定。根据“because of few materials and…to use the language.”可知，材料少和使用英语的机会少，学校的学生对英语缺乏兴趣。故选B。 6．句意：为了增加孩子们的信心和兴趣，林和她的团队设计了专门的英语戏剧课程，鼓励孩子们勇敢地表达自己。 closely靠近；bravely勇敢地；carefully认真地；healthily健康地。根据“To increase their confidence and interest,…encourage children to express themselves”可知，为了增加孩子们的信心和兴趣，鼓励孩子们勇敢地表达自己。故选B。 7．句意：乡村学生最好通过表演来学习英语，因为他们会有更多的乐趣。 acting表演；singing唱歌；copying复制；writing写。根据“Lin and her team designed special English drama courses”可知，乡村学生最好通过表演来学习英语。故选A。 8．句意：在排练过程中，林指导孩子们理解故事情节，反复练习单词，并在他们之间建立合作关系。 bored令人厌烦，使厌烦；saved保存，拯救；guided指导，指引；followed跟随。根据“During rehearsals (排练),”可知是，林指导孩子们理解故事情节，故选C。 9．句意：她发现学生们的态度发生了很大的变化，许多人对英语产生了浓厚的兴趣。 useful有用的；painful疼痛的，痛苦的；valuable有价值的；interested感兴趣的。根据上文“To increase their confidence and interest”可知，许多人对英语很感兴趣。故选D。 10．句意：一个夏天的艰苦工作不可能给孩子们带来决定性的改变，但林希望一个夏天的努力至少能对中国的乡村教育产生影响。 life生活；work工作；feelings感受，想法；questions问题。根据第二段“For three years, volunteers like Lin have spent their summers teaching…”可知是，一个夏天的艰苦工作。故选B。 二、 11．B 12．D 13．B 14．A 15．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国结的发展及它的寓意。 11．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A Chinese knot is a knot that is woven (编) from a single rope to be different shapes.

Each shape has its own meaning. Now you can see it as a decoration (装饰物) or a gift for friends. People can use different colours to weave a Chinese knot, but they usually choose red because it means good luck. The Chinese knot has a long history. People might have first made them to record information and send messages before they started to use words. It is well-known that the knots were used for decoration and to express thoughts and feelings in the Tang dynasty. They were later popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties. But it was not until the Qing dynasty that this art became really accepted by most people. Even today, Chinese knots are rich in different meanings, and they hold sentimental (情感的) value when gifted or passed down through families. For example, lovers may give a knot to show their love. The “double happiness knot” is given and used at weddings to express each other’s love and wishes for growing old together. Many foreign tourists like to buy Chinese knots as gifts when they return home.

B How do you greet your friends? People from different cultures have different answers: shaking hands, nodding, bowing, kissing on the face. But have you ever wondered how animals “say hello” to each other? Here are some examples. Everyone knows how similar chimpanzees (黑猩猩) are to humans. So it’s no surprise that their greetings are also close to ours. The most common ways of greeting between chimpanzees are hand touching and hugging. Sometimes they also kiss each other. Some chimpanzees can even learn simple sign language. Giraffes make few loud sounds. Their necks can reach two meters in length, making them useful in greeting each other. When two giraffes meet, they may “shake” their necks and rub (摩擦) them against each other. This is to feel how strong and tall the other is. Dolphins greet one another with whistles (哨声). They can hear other dolphins from many kilometers away. Every dolphin has a different whistle. When two groups of dolphins meet, they each choose a member to “talk” to the other group. The two groups can then travel together. Unlike most of the other animals, dolphins are smart enough to learn a new language by inventing and copying new sounds. 16．How do chimpanzees usually greet each other? A．Nodding and bowing. B．Kissing on the face. C．Touching hands and hugging. D．Using a lot of sign language. 17．Why giraffes rub their necks when they meet? A．To reach taller trees. B．To make loud sounds. C．To know about each other. D．To fight with each other. 18．How are dolphins like? A．Friendly and clever. B．Strong and playful. C．Lazy and quiet.

D．Chimpanzees can speak simple words. 20．What is the structure of the passage? A．B．C．D． C We are told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and are given lunch breaks at school. However, is this the healthiest way to eat? Should we eat three meals a day? Before considering how often we should eat, scientists advise us to consider when we shouldn’t. Intermittent fasting (间歇性断食), where you stop eating food for many hours, has become a popular area of research. It allows our stomach to rest. It helps our body to clear broken proteins (蛋白质), which protects us against many diseases. But if intermittent fasting is a healthy way to eat, how many meals does this leave room for? Some experts argue that it is best to have one meal a day. David Levitsky, professor at Cornell University, does this himself. Wouldn’t one meal a day leave us feeling hungry? Not always, because hunger is often a feeling. “When the clock says 12p. m., we may get feelings to eat, but before we had fridges and supermarkets, we ate when there was food.” Another expert, Manoogan, doesn’t agree with it. He says it can make our blood glucose (血糖) go up. To keep our blood glucose low, we need to eat regularly. Two or three meals a day is the best. And we should eat most of our food earlier in the day. “Then our bodies can use the energy from our food all day, instead of saving it as fat (脂肪).” Even if intermittent fasting is the healthiest way to eat, it may not be a good idea for everyone. If you want to try it, remember to check with your doctor first. 21．How does the writer introduce the topic? A．By telling a story. B．By asking questions. C．By using a saying. D．By making a comparison. 22．Which benefits can intermittent fasting bring? ①Fixing broken proteins.         ②Allowing the stomach to rest. ③Helping scientists do research.     ④Keeping us safe from some illness. A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①②④ D．①③④ 23．Why does Levitsky say that one meal a day might not leave us feeling hungry? A．Because our bodies can save food as fat. B．Because we have fridges and supermarkets. C．Because we can choose to eat whenever we want. D．Because we often eat out of habit, not true hunger. 24．What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．One meal a day. B．Three meals a day. C．Intermittent fasting. D．Eating much at night. 25．What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph? A．We can’t do anything until we know more. B．Doctors suggest we try intermittent fasting. C．Intermittent fasting doesn’t work for everyone. D．Seeing the doctor is the best way to become healthy. 第二节 阅读还原6选5(共5小题，每小题2分吗，满分10分) Each country in the world has its own traditional clothes. 26 Let’s have a look at three kinds of well-known traditional Chinese clothes.

When I was a child, other kids often laughed at me. They made fun of me for 36 (be) short. Even as an adult, I sometimes heard words about 37 (I) height. It wasn’t fun, but I’ve learned how 38 (find) a way out over time. It’s usually not 39 big problem. In fact, it seems that women are more nervous than men when it comes to body-image problems in China. A perfect Chinese woman 40 (describe) as “tall and thin”—but in real life, not everyone can achieve (实现) this. I have some 41 (friend) that are women here, and they often complain (抱怨) about themselves because of this. It’s really too bad when I think they look beautiful. 42 , Chinese men don’t seem to receive much attention (注意) about how they look—people seem to care more about men’s incomes (收入) or jobs. Sometimes I’m asked questions 43 others, questions like “How much do you make?” or “What’s your job?” Not many people appear to care if I’m a bit fat or short. Our biggest critics (批评者) are ourselves. If you don’t feel good about your body, don’t be too hard on yourself. You can’t magically make yourself taller or 44 (thin), but you can go into the outside world confidently. No matter 45 you look like on the outside, if you know you are beautiful, nothing can change that. 四、书面表达(15分) 46．手语作为一种重要的沟通方式，正受到越来越多人的关注。深圳作为一座“义工之城”，需要招募更多的志愿者来提供手语服务。假如你是李华，请根据以下要点写一封倡议书号召同学们积极参加。 要点： 目的 1.为有听力障碍和语言障碍的人士提供帮助 2.培养初中生的社会责任感 影响 对个人成长和社会责任感方面(请补充) 号召与倡议 ……(请补充) 要求： 1.80词左右(给出部分不计入总词数)； 2.要点齐全，可适当发挥； 3.条理清晰，语句通顺，意义连贯，书写规范； 4.文中不得出现真实姓名和校名。 参考词汇： 手语sign language；听力障碍和语言障碍hearing and speech impairment；志愿者之城City of Volunteers Dear fellow students, I am excited to share an inspiring opportunity with you all! _________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sincerely, Li Hua 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
