Once there was a wise old man named Carl in a small village. People respected him because he always gave good advice. One day, a young man named Luke visited Carl and complained about his life. He felt that everything was difficult, and he was often worried.
Carl listened to Luke’s problems and took him for a walk along the river. When they arrived there, Carl gave Luke a handful of salt and asked him to put it into the river. Luke did as Carl asked. Then, Carl asked Luke to drink some water from the river. Luke drank, and the water tasted fresh.
Next, Carl handed Luke another handful of salt and asked him to put it into a glass of water. Luke did so and then took a sip (一小口). This time, the water tasted very salty, and he couldn’t drink it.
Carl smiled and said, “The salt is like life’s difficulties. In a river, it seems small, but in a glass, it feels large. If you face problems with a wider view, they’ll not seem so terrible.” Luke left feeling calmer and thankful for the wise old man’s lesson. He promised to consider his problems differently from that day.
39. Why did Luke visit Carl?
A. To ask for advice. B. To become clever.
C. To help the villagers. D. To give Carl a present.

42. What can we learn from the story?
A. Life should be simple and peaceful.
B. Problems should be seen from a wider view.
C. People should travel to learn wisdom.
D. Water can make everything better.

Do you like drawing? Most often, people don’t like to draw because their pictures aren’t realistic (逼真的). There’s a reason you might find it hard to draw realistically. Like many people, you probably draw things the way you think they look. You see people’s eyes all the time, so you might think you know in your mind what eyes look like. But minds don’t remember all the details (细节). For example, picture in your mind what an eye looks like. Do you picture it as being a simple round shape? Now look at someone’s eyes. Real eyes aren’t so simple.
Artists have a way to draw realistically. They don’t depend on their minds to know how things look. They use their eyes to see how things look. Artists know that the art of drawing is the art of seeing.
When an artist is drawing a man, she observes (观察) him or a photo in front of her. She watches the size and shape of his eyes. She compares the angle (角度) of his neck with his shoulder. She also sees where his hands are and how they look. By focusing on each detail, the artist can make a realistic picture.

Small changes can make a difference to the health of the Earth and to your health too.
Walk more
Let’s stop driving the car! With petrol (汽油) prices on the rise, your parents will see the advantages, so why not walk to the shops instead of driving? Bring a reusable bag for your groceries (日用品), and you will easily hit your daily step goal easily while shopping. Also, the weight of the bag will help exercise your arms, and it’ll make your heart beat faster.
Go fishing for litter
Many people pick up rubbish in the park, but not as many people pay attention to what’s floating in rivers, lakes and the sea. Some people even throw their liter into the water, thinking it will disappear. So why not go for a walk on a beach or river bank and pick up any rubbish you see floating in the water? It’s good for you and good for our planet.
Plogging
Plogging is a form of exercise that mixes picking up litter with jogging. The movement started in Sweden and comes from the words “plocka upp” (meaning “pick up”) and the English word “jogging”. The idea is to run down the road, and then add in a squat (蹲) as you pick up litter. You can do it any way you like, with no rules about how long or how far you have to go.
46 Why does the writer advise us to walk more?
①To save money. ②To exercise our body.
③To keep safe. ④To make our hearts beat faster.
A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④
47. What does the underlined word “floating” probably mean?
A. Staying on the surface of water. B. Moving slowly through the air.
C. Swimming slowly in the water. D. Flying up and down in the air.
48. What do we know about plogging?
A. You should follow strict rules while plogging.
B. You can only do plogging in a local gym.
C. It’s a form of exercise that mixes jogging with picking up litter.
D. It requires people to do a lot of squats while running.
49. What’s the writer trying to do in the text?
A. Introduce how to save money and keep fit.
B. Explain why small changes are necessary.
C. Ask people to do more physical exercise.
D. Encourage people to protect the environment and keep fit.
【答案】46. B 47. A 48. C 49. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了三种对地球和个人健康有益的环保生活方式,分别是多步行、打捞水中垃圾以及慢跑捡垃圾,阐述了其具体做法和益处。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Walk more”部分“With petrol (汽油) prices on the rise, your parents will see the advantages, so why not walk to the shops instead of driving?”可知,走路能省钱;根据“Also, the weight of the bag will help exercise your arms, and it’ll make your heart beat faster.”可知走路能锻炼手臂、让心跳加快,起到锻炼身体的作用,故选①②④。故选B。
【47题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“Many people pick up rubbish in the park, but not as many people pay attention to what’s floating in rivers, lakes and the sea.”可知,这里说的是在河流、湖泊和海洋里的东西,结合常识,floating应表示“漂浮在水面上”。故选A。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Plogging”部分“Plogging is a form of exercise that mixes picking up litter with jogging.”可知,plogging“拾荒慢跑”是一种将捡垃圾和慢跑结合起来的锻炼方式,故选C。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了多走路、打捞水中垃圾、拾荒慢跑等行为,这些行为既对环境有益,又能锻炼身体,所以可以推理作者是在鼓励人们保护环境和保持健康,故选D。

In today’s digital world, 32-year-old doctoral student Yang Hao chose an old-fashioned way to travel alone. He relied on a paper map; cash and bank cards were his only payment methods.
During the 134 days, he visited 68 counties (县) and cities across China and used two cameras to record his experiences. “I realized that those days were the most meaningful and focused period of my life,” said Yang.
Yang’s life was quite different before. The idea of his journey came from a notification (通知) from his iPhone reminding him that he was spending almost seven hours a day on his smartphone on average (平均). Shocked, he decided to leave his phone and computer at home to go on the unusual trip.
________ Once, he couldn’t book a room without a phone, although he showed his ID card and offered to pay in cash. However, Yang was surprised by many rewards (回报). Without the Internet, books and museums became his guide. In Hunan Province, the book Xiangxi Sanji by Shen Congwen served as his guide. Yang tried to follow Shen’s steps by boat along the Yuanjiang River about 90 years ago. How amazing!
A book and a documentary about his experience will come out. “I hope to offer a different view on seeing the world whether on screen or through my words,” Yang said.
50. How long did Yang spend on this trip?
A. 68 days. B. 134 days. C. One year. D. Two years.
51. Which of the following can be put in “________”?
A. While traveling, Yang met many unfriendly people.
B. While traveling, Yang got lots of help from people.
C. During the trip, Yang’s family worried about him a lot.
D. During the trip, Yang experienced lots of difficulties.
52. What is the best title (标题) for the text?
A. Go Outdoors to Have Fun B. Travel Without the Internet
C. Stay Away from the Phones D. Use Books as Travel Guides
【答案】50. B 51. D 52. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了32岁的杨浩选择了老式的旅行方式,在134天里,他访问了68个中国的县市,用相机记录了他的经历。

细节理解题。根据第二段“During the 134 days, he visited 68 counties (县) and cities across China and used two cameras to record his experiences.”可知,杨浩花了134天旅行。故选B。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Once, he couldn’t book a room without a phone, although he showed his ID card and offered to pay in cash.”可知,后文提到了杨浩在旅行中遇到的困难,所以此处应提到他在旅行中遇到很多困难。故选D。
【52题详解】
最佳标题题。根据第一段“In today’s digital world, 32-year-old doctoral student Yang Hao chose an old-fashioned way to travel alone. He relied on a paper map; cash and bank cards were his only payment methods.”及全文内容可知,本文讲述了杨浩在没有互联网的情况下旅行的故事。故选B。

Once there was a wise old man named Carl in a small village. People respected him because he always gave good advice. One day, a young man named Luke visited Carl and complained about his life. He felt that everything was difficult, and he was often worried.
Carl listened to Luke’s problems and took him for a walk along the river. When they arrived there, Carl gave Luke a handful of salt and asked him to put it into the river. Luke did as Carl asked. Then, Carl asked Luke to drink some water from the river. Luke drank, and the water tasted fresh.
Next, Carl handed Luke another handful of salt and asked him to put it into a glass of water. Luke did so and then took a sip (一小口). This time, the water tasted very salty, and he couldn’t drink it.
Carl smiled and said, “The salt is like life’s difficulties. In a river, it seems small, but in a glass, it feels large. If you face problems with a wider view, they’ll not seem so terrible.” Luke left feeling calmer and thankful for the wise old man’s lesson. He promised to consider his problems differently from that day.
39. Why did Luke visit Carl?
A. To ask for advice. B. To become clever.
C. To help the villagers. D. To give Carl a present.
40. What did Carl ask Luke to do with the salt first?
A. Put it into a glass of water. B. Put it into the river.
C. Taste it directly. D. Throw it away.
41. What does the underlined word “so” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指的是)?
A. Drinking some water. B. Putting the salt into the river.
C. Putting the salt into a glass of water. D. Drinking some water of the glass.
42. What can we learn from the story?
A. Life should be simple and peaceful.
B. Problems should be seen from a wider view.
C. People should travel to learn wisdom.
D. Water can make everything better.
C
Do you like drawing? Most often, people don’t like to draw because their pictures aren’t realistic (逼真的). There’s a reason you might find it hard to draw realistically. Like many people, you probably draw things the way you think they look. You see people’s eyes all the time, so you might think you know in your mind what eyes look like. But minds don’t remember all the details (细节). For example, picture in your mind what an eye looks like. Do you picture it as being a simple round shape? Now look at someone’s eyes. Real eyes aren’t so simple.
Artists have a way to draw realistically. They don’t depend on their minds to know how things look. They use their eyes to see how things look. Artists know that the art of drawing is the art of seeing.
When an artist is drawing a man, she observes (观察) him or a photo in front of her. She watches the size and shape of his eyes. She compares the angle (角度) of his neck with his shoulder.

Walk more
Let’s stop driving the car! With petrol (汽油) prices on the rise, your parents will see the advantages, so why not walk to the shops instead of driving? Bring a reusable bag for your groceries (日用品), and you will easily hit your daily step goal easily while shopping. Also, the weight of the bag will help exercise your arms, and it’ll make your heart beat faster.
Go fishing for litter
Many people pick up rubbish in the park, but not as many people pay attention to what’s floating in rivers, lakes and the sea. Some people even throw their liter into the water, thinking it will disappear. So why not go for a walk on a beach or river bank and pick up any rubbish you see floating in the water? It’s good for you and good for our planet.
Plogging
Plogging is a form of exercise that mixes picking up litter with jogging. The movement started in Sweden and comes from the words “plocka upp” (meaning “pick up”) and the English word “jogging”.
