The Chinese language differs from Western languages in that, instead of an alphabet (字母表), it uses characters which stand for ideas, objects or deeds. Chinese words are formed by putting together different characters. In many cases, a single character can also make up a word. As one kind of the most ancient characters, Chinese characters have played an important role in the development of Chinese culture. At first, ancient Sumerian and ancient Egyptian symbols existed (存在), but only Chinese characters remain today. The history of the Chinese language can be examined by looking at how these characters developed.
Chinese writing began thousands of years ago. According to an ancient story, a man named Cang Jie invented Chinese writing. One winter day while he was hunting, he saw the footprints of animals in the snow and noticed that the appearance of each one was different. Then he had the idea that he could use different shapes to represent different objects. The first Chinese characters were drawings of physical objects. Some characters have been simplified (简化) and others have been made more difficult over time.
However, as a whole, the characters have developed from drawings into standard forms. The character for a mountain was at first three mountaintops together. This became one mountaintop and three lines, and over time turned into the character used nowadays.
Sometimes to express ideas, some characters were made by combining two or more characters together. For example, “rest” was made up of the characters for a man and a tree. The character “prisoner” was formed with a “man” inside a square. Other characters were developed for directions and numbers. It is easy to distinguish (区别) their meanings by looking at them, for example, the characters for “up” and “down”, which are opposites of each other.
Though these kinds of characters indicate meanings one of their shortcomings is that they do not show how they should be pronounced. Therefore, a method was developed to have one part of a character represent the meaning and the other suggest the pronunciation. Many Chinese characters used today were made this way.
In the 1950s the Chinese government introduced simplified Chinese characters in the hope to make learning to read and write more understandable to the general population, which would increase literacy (读写能力) across the country. And now they have widespread use in China’s mainland.
29. The writer introduced the Chinese characters by ________.
A. giving examples B. providing causes
C. expressing opinions D. comparing facts
30. The following sentence would best be placed at the beginning of ________.
Not all characters were developed from drawings of objects.
A. Paragraph 5 B. Paragraph 4 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 2
31. Which Chinese character used the underlined (下划线) method?
A. B. C. D.
32. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Chinese characters have turned into standard forms, which are easier than before.
B. Chinese characters we use today have been accepted by large numbers of people.
C. Chinese characters existed at the very beginning and remain today like other ancient symbols.
D. Chinese words and English words are both formed by putting alphabets and characters together.
C
Binge-watching is when a person watches more than one episode of a show in quick succession (一连串,连续). With developments in the speed and connectivity of the Internet, increases in technology and the rise of on-demand entertainment companies, people can now have their favorite shows streamed directly to their television at their convenience.
This behavior is nothing new. In fact, “binge-watching” has been officially listed in dictionaries since 2015. The entertainment companies recognize this behavior and many take steps to encourage it. Often, instead of releasing each episode on a week-by-week basis, an entire series will become available concurrently. Once the episode finishes many platforms will display pop-ups with “you might like suggestions, or will automatically play the next episode”.
However, recent research suggests that out of the more than half of British adults who watch more than one episode of a show back-to-back, almost a third have admitted missing sleep or becoming tired as a result; and one quarter have neglected their household chores. Next we’ll be missing work!
Bingeing has other connections-binge eating, binge drinking and binge smoking. All of them are often associated with a lack of control and a possible route to addiction. Lindsey Fussell, consumer group director, said, “The days of waiting a week for the next episode are largely gone, with people finding it hard to resist watching multiple episodes around the house or on the move.” If people find binge-watching hard to resist, coupled with the fact that it has shown to lead to negligence in many, are we witnessing the birth of a new type of addiction?
The countless of information and entertainment that television and online media can bring us is, many would say, a good thing. However, when the activity begins to bleed into other areas, causing us to stop functioning then it becomes a problem. So, what’s the answer? Moderation! Neither a tiny amount, nor too much. After all, as the old proverb says, “A little of what you fancy does you good.”
33. How did the writer develop the first paragraph?
A. Listing some examples. B. Telling a story.
C. Giving a definition. D. Analyzing the cause and effect.
34. Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word in Paragraph 2?
A. similarly B. gradually C. naturally D. necessarily
35. What Lindsey said in Paragraph 4 implies that _______.
A. people have no patience to do work
B. people can’t control their movements
C. people are delighted to watch television
D. people can’t resist the temptation
36. What advice did the writer give at last?
A. To watch episodes in a moderate way.
B. To draw life lessons from the episodes.
C. To enjoy entertainment as much as possible.
D. To keep online media from stopping functioning.
D

My mother and I had a happy life. She worked during the day. I played with the other young horses and had great fun. At night I lay next to her.
One day, my master sold me to Squire Gordon. He lived with his family in a big house. “You’re a beautiful horse,” he said. “You have a beautiful black coat. I shall call you Black Beauty.”
I learned to carry my master on my back and pull a coach. I leaned to ware reins (缆绳) and a bit in my mouth, I did not like them but all the horses had to wear them.
My master had two horses. One of them was Merrylegs. He was very friendly. The other was Ginger. She was not friendly. She bit and kicked people.

Just then a man saw us. “Hey! There! Stop!” he cried.
“What is it?” shouted the Squire.
“The bridge is broken in the middle,” he answered. “If you go on to it, you are all going to drown in the river.” “Thank God!” said the Squire. “Thank you, Beauty!” said John. We turned around and went along the road by the river. For a long time no one said anything. Then John said, “Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous.”
When we returned home, the Squire told Mrs. Gordon:
“We are all safe, thanks to Black Beauty!”
That night I was glad, because I was very tired.

What would be the best day to celebrate the number pi? If you say March 14, you’re right. It is the same as the first three numbers of pi —3.14. Every year, math and science fans come together on this day to celebrate Pi Day.
In 1988, US physicist Larry Shaw, who worked at San Francisco’s Exploratorium, started the Pi Day celebration. During the first event, Exploratorium employees (员工) walked around a circular space because pi helps us know about the calculations of circles.
In 2019, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization set the day as the International Day of Mathematics to show the beauty and importance of math.
Pi Day in China honors (纪念) Chinese mathematician Zu Chongzhi (429-500 AD). He calculated (计算) pi as being between 3.1415926 and 3.1415927. It stood as the most correct calculation of pi for over 800 years.
Nowadays, from enjoying pies to doing math, Pi Day is celebrated in many different ways across the world. Students in the US usually eat pie and throw pie at each other. Fukuoka High School in Japan celebrates Pi Day with pi memorization competitions. “We compete to recite (背诵) as many digits (数字) of pi as we can. It shows our memory skills.” said Aí Akasaki, 16, from the school.
“In Germany, the celebration of Pi Day takes on a cultural twist,” said Johanna Elisabeth Senst, a 15-year-old German girl. Students are trying to express their artistic (艺术的) side through artworks related to pi, including paintings. Senst even built a 3D building with Lego about pi. She used different colored blocks to show each digit of pi, such as yellow for the number 1, blue for 3 and red for 5.
“The celebration of Pi Day starts a culture around pi and makes people enjoy math through these celebrations,” math artist John Sims told ABC News.

A. one B. another C. other D. the other
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——这个星期五你愿意和我一起去看电影吗?——对不起,我要去看我祖父母。改天再做吧。

2. —How many students are there in your school?
—________ the students in our school ________ over 1500.
A. The number of; is B. The number of; are C. A number of; is D. A number of; are
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你们学校有多少学生?——我们学校的学生人数超过1500人。
考查主谓一致。the number of……的数目;a number of许多。根据“...the students in our school ... over 1,500.”可知,此处强调学生数目,用the number of,排除CD;此处强调总数,be动词用is。故选A。
3. I am sorry to hear that ________ people lost their homes in Japan’s earthquake.
A. two thousands B. thousand C. thousands of D. thousand of
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:听说成千上万的人在日本地震中失去了家园,我感到很难过。
考查大数的表达。thousand“千”,可以用“基数词+thousand”表示确指,也可用thousands of表示“成千上万”。故选C。

A. Not only; but also B. Neither; nor
C. Either; or D. Both; and

A. has been over B. was over C. has finished D. finished

考查动词时态。has been over已经结束了,现在完成时;was over结束了,一般过去时;has finished已经结束了,现在完成时;finished结束,一般过去时。根据语境可知,学校新闻已经结束了,这件事对“现在不能观看了”产生了影响,故应为现在完成时,故排除B、D两项。另句中for a while表示一段时间,与现在完成时连用时,应用延续性动词,而动词finish为瞬时性动词,不能在现在完成时中与一段时间连用,故排除C项。be over表示延续性动作,可在现在完成时中与时间段连用,即has been over。故选A。

A. got used B. is used C. used D. was used
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:当我还是个学生的时候,我的一些零花钱被用来买漫画书。
考查一般过去时的被动语态。本句主语是动作的承受者,结合“When I was a pupil”可知,是过去时,所以用一般过去时的被动语态。故选D。

A. need not B. may not C. must not D. should not
【答案】B

考查情态动词辨析。need not不需要;may not可能不;must not禁止,不能;should not不应该。根据句中“but you can decide not to be reduced by them”可知,此处使用may not,表示推测,意为“你可能无法控制发生在你身上的所有事情,但你可以决定不被它们拖累”。故选B。

The Chinese language differs from Western languages in that, instead of an alphabet (字母表), it uses characters which stand for ideas, objects or deeds. Chinese words are formed by putting together different characters. In many cases, a single character can also make up a word. As one kind of the most ancient characters, Chinese characters have played an important role in the development of Chinese culture. At first, ancient Sumerian and ancient Egyptian symbols existed (存在), but only Chinese characters remain today. The history of the Chinese language can be examined by looking at how these characters developed.
Chinese writing began thousands of years ago. According to an ancient story, a man named Cang Jie invented Chinese writing. One winter day while he was hunting, he saw the footprints of animals in the snow and noticed that the appearance of each one was different. Then he had the idea that he could use different shapes to represent different objects. The first Chinese characters were drawings of physical objects. Some characters have been simplified (简化) and others have been made more difficult over time.
However, as a whole, the characters have developed from drawings into standard forms. The character for a mountain was at first three mountaintops together. This became one mountaintop and three lines, and over time turned into the character used nowadays.
Sometimes to express ideas, some characters were made by combining two or more characters together. For example, “rest” was made up of the characters for a man and a tree. The character “prisoner” was formed with a “man” inside a square. Other characters were developed for directions and numbers. It is easy to distinguish (区别) their meanings by looking at them, for example, the characters for “up” and “down”, which are opposites of each other.
Though these kinds of characters indicate meanings, one of their shortcomings is that they do not show how they should be pronounced. Therefore, a method was developed to have one part of a character represent the meaning and the other suggest the pronunciation. Many Chinese characters used today were made this way.
In the 1950s the Chinese government introduced simplified Chinese characters in the hope to make learning to read and write more understandable to the general population, which would increase literacy (读写能力) across the country. And now they have widespread use in China’s mainland.
29. The writer introduced the Chinese characters by ________.
A. giving examples B. providing causes
C. expressing opinions D. comparing facts
30. The following sentence would best be placed at the beginning of ________.
Not all characters were developed from drawings of objects.
A. Paragraph 5 B. Paragraph 4 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 2
31. Which Chinese character used the underlined (下划线的) method?
A. B. C. D.
32. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Chinese characters have turned into standard forms, which are easier than before.
B. Chinese characters we use today have been accepted by large numbers of people.
C. Chinese characters existed at the very beginning and remain today like other ancient symbols.
D. Chinese words and English words are both formed by putting alphabets and characters together.

Binge-watching is when a person watches more than one episode of a show in quick succession (一连串,连续). With developments in the speed and connectivity of the Internet, increases in technology and the rise of on-demand entertainment companies, people can now have their favorite shows streamed directly to their television at their convenience.
This behavior is nothing new. In fact, “binge-watching” has been officially listed in dictionaries since 2015. The entertainment companies recognize this behavior and many take steps to encourage it. Often, instead of releasing each episode on a week-by-week basis, an entire series will become available concurrently. Once the episode finishes many platforms will display pop-ups with “you might like suggestions, or will automatically play the next episode”.
However, recent research suggests that out of the more than half of British adults who watch more than one episode of a show back-to-back, almost a third have admitted missing sleep or becoming tired as a result; and one quarter have neglected their household chores. Next we’ll be missing work!
Bingeing has other connections-binge eating, binge drinking and binge smoking. All of them are often associated with a lack of control and a possible route to addiction. Lindsey Fussell, consumer group director, said, “The days of waiting a week for the next episode are largely gone, with people finding it hard to resist watching multiple episodes around the house or on the move.” If people find binge-watching hard to resist, coupled with the fact that it has shown to lead to negligence in many, are we witnessing the birth of a new type of addiction?
The countless of information and entertainment that television and online media can bring us is, many would say, a good thing. However, when the activity begins to bleed into other areas, causing us to stop functioning then it becomes a problem. So, what’s the answer? Moderation! Neither a tiny amount, nor too much. After all, as the old proverb says, “A little of what you fancy does you good.”
33. How did the writer develop the first paragraph?
A. Listing some examples. B. Telling a story.

35. What Lindsey said in Paragraph 4 implies that _______.
A. people have no patience to do work
B. people can’t control their movements
C. people are delighted to watch television
D. people can’t resist the temptation
36. What advice did the writer give at last?
A. To watch episodes in a moderate way.
B. To draw life lessons from the episodes.
C. To enjoy entertainment as much as possible.
D. To keep online media from stopping functioning.

My first home was a beautiful meadow with a pond of clear water. There were some large trees near the pond. On one side of the meadow was a field and on the other was the house of our master, Farmer Grey. He was a kind man.
My mother and I had a happy life. She worked during the day. I played with the other young horses and had great fun. At night I lay next to her.
One day, my master sold me to Squire Gordon. He lived with his family in a big house. “You’re a beautiful horse,” he said. “You have a beautiful black coat. I shall call you Black Beauty.”
I learned to carry my master on my back and pull a coach. I leaned to ware reins (缆绳) and a bit in my mouth, I did not like them but all the horses had to wear them.
My master had two horses. One of them was Merrylegs. He was very friendly. The other was Ginger. She was not friendly. She bit and kicked people.
Ginger and I palled a coach together. The coachman’s name was John Ginger and I worked very hard. We became friends.
Ginger told me about her life when she was young. She told me, “My master was not kind to me. My reins and bit hurt me. My master did not care.”
Squire Gordon and his men felt sorry for Ginger. They were always kind to her. She stopped biting and kicking people. She became a happy horse.
One day in autumn Squire Gordon went on a long journey, John went with him and I pulled the coach. The weather was rainy and windy. Mr. Gordon and John could not see well in the rain. We came to a bridge. I stopped. “Something is wrong.” I thought, I did not want to go on to the bridge. Mr. Gordon and John wanted me to go on to the bridge. I did not move. Just then a man saw us. “Hey! There! Stop!” he cried.
“What is it?” shouted the Squire
“The bridge is broken in the middle,” he answered. “If you go on to it, you are all going to drown in the river.” “Thank God!” said the Squire. “Thank you, Beauty!” said John. We turned around and went along the road by the river. For a long time no one said anything. Then John said, “Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous.”
When we returned home, the Squire told Mrs. Gordon:
“We are all safe, thanks to Black Beauty!”

【37题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“Ginger and I palled a coach together.”可知,这里的coach应该是“四轮大马车”与“coach:3[C] a large closed vehicle with four wheels, pulled by horses, used to carry passengers”相符;根据“‘The bridge is broken in the middle,’ he answered. ‘If you go on to it, you are all going to drown in the river.’”可知,桥中间坏了,如果走上去的话,就会掉进河里,掉进河里就会淹死,所以drown意为“淹死”。与 “drown:1[V]to die because you have been underwater too long and you cannot breathe; to kill sb. in this way”相符。因此是正确的是3; 1。故选B。

五、阅读填空。(每小题1分,共20分)
(A)阅读下面短文,根据所读内容,在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
What would be the best day to celebrate the number pi? If you say March 14, you’re right. It is the same as the first three numbers of pi —3.14. Every year, math and science fans come together on this day to celebrate Pi Day.
In 1988, US physicist Larry Shaw, who worked at San Francisco’s Exploratorium, started the Pi Day celebration. During the first event, Exploratorium employees (员工) walked around a circular space because pi helps us know about the calculations of circles.
In 2019, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization set the day as the International Day of Mathematics to show the beauty and importance of math.
Pi Day in China honors (纪念) Chinese mathematician Zu Chongzhi (429-500 AD). He calculated (计算) pi as being between 3.1415926 and 3.1415927. It stood as the most correct calculation of pi for over 800 years.
Nowadays, from enjoying pies to doing math, Pi Day is celebrated in many different ways across the world. Students in the US usually eat pie and throw pie at each other. Fukuoka High School in Japan celebrates Pi Day with pi memorization competitions. “We compete to recite (背诵) as many digits (数字) of pi as we can. It shows our memory skills.” said Aí Akasaki, 16, from the school.
“In Germany, the celebration of Pi Day takes on a cultural twist,” said Johanna Elisabeth Senst, a 15-year-old German girl. Students are trying to express their artistic (艺术的) side through artworks related to pi, including paintings. Senst even built a 3D building with Lego about pi. She used different colored blocks to show each digit of pi, such as yellow for the number 1, blue for 3 and red for 5.
“The celebration of Pi Day starts a culture around pi and makes people enjoy math through these celebrations,” math artist John Sims told ABC News.

【答案】例文:
Dear Sir/Madam,
I’m happy to hear that there is an empty area in our school for building a Culture Corner, a Vegetable Garden or a Sports Field.
In my opinion, it’s better to build a Sports Field. Firstly, sports are necessary for students’ physical health. Many students spend too much time studying indoors and lack exercise. A Sports Field would encourage everyone to join activities like running or playing football. Secondly, team sports can help students learn teamwork. For example, we could organize friendly matches between classes to build teamwork.
There are many activities we could do there. We might hold morning exercises to start the day. Also, the school could arrange fun sports festivals, such as relay races or basketball competitions. These events would make our life more colorful.
I hope my suggestions will be considered. Thank you!
Yours,
Li Hua
