People have told stories about Robin Hood for over 700 years. Nobody knows if he was a real person or an invented character. In the legends, Robin was extremely smart and humorous, he helped strangers, and later his kindness paid off.
The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood was just a young man, who was good at archery (射箭术). One day he was walking through Sherwood Forest, a royal hunting forest near Nottingham in England. There he got into trouble with a group of men. Among them, he killed the cousin of the Sheriff (郡长) of Nottingham. Robin became a legendary outlaw, and soon the leader of one hundred outlaws, known as his “Merry Men”.
Robin and his “Merry Men” always looked for rich people and asked them to their camp in Sherwood Forest. When they arrived, Robin gave them a good meal and played music for them. Then he took their gold away to help the poor. Robin became most famous for “robbing from the rich and giving to the poor.”
The Sheriff of Nottingham was Robin’s greatest enemy. He was cruel and treated the poor badly. It was his job to keep the woods safe and to make sure that nobody stole the king’s deer. He hated Robin because Robin was an outlaw. But most of all, he hated Robin because everyone else loved him. The Sheriff of Nottingham kept trying to catch Robin Hood and his “Merry Men”, but never succeeded.
38. What was Robin Hood like according to the passage?
A. Cruel to the poor people. B. Clever and serious.
C. Clever and humorous. D. Good at telling stories.

B. Stealing the king’s deer in Sherwood Forest.
C. Robbing the rich and helping the poor.

2 Robin asked the rich people to Sherwood Forest.

阅读并回答问题。
What type of book do you like? I prefer the book about Chinese culture. Here is an excerpt (选段).
The dragon is a great animal in Chinese culture. It brings the wind and rain. It is said that every year on the second day of the second lunar (阴历的) month, the dragon wakes up from its winter sleep and raises its head. Because of this, the day is called “Dragon Head-raising Day” (Longtaitou). This year, it falls on February21.
Old people believed that after Longtaitou, there would be more rain. And rain is very important to farming. So they thought Longtaitou was the start of spring and farming.
People have many ways to celebrate the Longtaitou festival. The most popular one is to have a haircut. Many believe that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to your uncles—mainly your mother’s brothers. They hope getting a haircut on Longtaitou gets rid of (摆脱) bad luck.
Among Chinese people’s festival traditions, there is always a place for food. During the Longtaitou festival, people eat food named after dragons. Noodles are called dragon’s beard (longxu). Dumplings are dragon’s ears (long’er). And spring rolls are dragon’s scales (longlin).
People also hold activities like dragon dancing on the day. In some places in Shandong province, people make dragon lanterns too. Small reed (芦苇) boats go down the rivers and carry the lanterns, which stand for people’s best wishes and good luck.

71. When does the day Longtaitou fall this year?

【详解】“Where are you going?” The Chinese people often ask the question when they meet in the street. But if you ask Americans the same question, they will be surprised because they think that “going to some place” is their own business. In their eyes, only a policeman will ask such a question in the street. The same thing will happen to Americans if you ask them, “Have you had your meal?” In fact, to us Chinese, such questions do not mean anything but a greeting. But to Americans, the sentence means you want to invite your friend to have a meal with you.

People have told stories about Robin Hood for over 700 years. Nobody knows if he was a real person or an invented character. In the legends, Robin was extremely smart and humorous, he helped strangers, and later his kindness paid off.
The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood was just a young man, who was good at archery (射箭术). One day he was walking through Sherwood Forest, a royal hunting forest near Nottingham in England. There he got into trouble with a group of men. Among them, he killed the cousin of the Sheriff (郡长) of Nottingham. Robin became a legendary outlaw, and soon the leader of one hundred outlaws, known as his “Merry Men”.
Robin and his “Merry Men” always looked for rich people and asked them to their camp in Sherwood Forest. When they arrived, Robin gave them a good meal and played music for them. Then he took their gold away to help the poor. Robin became most famous for “robbing from the rich and giving to the poor.”
The Sheriff of Nottingham was Robin’s greatest enemy. He was cruel and treated the poor badly. It was his job to keep the woods safe and to make sure that nobody stole the king’s deer. He hated Robin because Robin was an outlaw. But most of all, he hated Robin because everyone else loved him. The Sheriff of Nottingham kept trying to catch Robin Hood and his “Merry Men”, but never succeeded.
38. What was Robin Hood like according to the passage?
A. Cruel to the poor people. B. Clever and serious.
C. Clever and humorous. D. Good at telling stories.
39. The underlined word “outlaw” in Paragraph 2 means ________.
A. enemy (敌人) B. criminal (罪犯) C. king D. fighter
40. What was Robin Hood most famous for?
A. Playing beautiful music for the rich.
B. Stealing the king’s deer in Sherwood Forest.
C. Robbing the rich and helping the poor.
D. Killing the cousin of the Sheriff of Nottingham.

【答案】38. C 39. B 40. C 41. D

【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Robin was extremely smart and humorous, he helped strangers, and later his kindness paid off.”可知,Robin Hood非常聪明且幽默。故选C。

【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Robin became most famous for ‘robbing from the rich and giving to the poor.’”可知,Robin Hood最著名的事迹是“劫富济贫”。故选C。
【41题详解】

阅读并回答问题。
What type of book do you like? I prefer the book about Chinese culture. Here is an excerpt (选段).
The dragon is a great animal in Chinese culture. It brings the wind and rain. It is said that every year on the second day of the second lunar (阴历的) month, the dragon wakes up from its winter sleep and raises its head. Because of this, the day is called “Dragon Head-raising Day” (Longtaitou). This year, it falls on February21.
Old people believed that after Longtaitou, there would be more rain. And rain is very important to farming. So they thought Longtaitou was the start of spring and farming.
People have many ways to celebrate the Longtaitou festival. The most popular one is to have a haircut. Many believe that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to your uncles—mainly your mother’s brothers. They hope getting a haircut on Longtaitou gets rid of (摆脱) bad luck.
Among Chinese people’s festival traditions, there is always a place for food. During the Longtaitou festival, people eat food named after dragons. Noodles are called dragon’s beard (longxu). Dumplings are dragon’s ears (long’er). And spring rolls are dragon’s scales (longlin).
People also hold activities like dragon dancing on the day. In some places in Shandong province, people make dragon lanterns too. Small reed (芦苇) boats go down the rivers and carry the lanterns, which stand for people’s best wishes and good luck.

【答案】例文:
My favourite book
Good books are valuable treasures. Among all the books I’ve read, the Monkey King is my favourite book.
The Monkey King is the main character in the traditional Chinese book Journey to the West. He is not a normal monkey. In fact,he is brave enough to fight with any bad person and he can always win the fights. So I like to read it.
The book mainly talks about three things. First of all, it tells us why the monkey can make 72 changes and what different animals and objects he can change into. Secondly, the book shows us how the monkey uses his magic stick. Sometimes he can make the stick so small that he can keep it in his ear. Last but not least, the book tells us how the monkey fights with bad people. I like to read this part very much because the monkey always tries his best to win the fights.
The book teaches us to be brave when we are in trouble. And it also tells us to keep fighting to help the weak. Most importantly, it tells us to keep trying in our lives and never give up.
