The Wukong satellite is just as sharp-eyed as the Monkey King to help scientists search for the dark matter in space. The name of the space station Tiangong means “Heaven Palace” in Chinese myths (神话), this is the home of Tian Di. Now Tiangong Space Station is home for Chinese astronauts in space. And China welcomes foreign astronauts to Tiangong so that they can work together. Tianwen, Chinese Mars missions (任务), gets its name from the poem Tianwen by Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan is a well-known poet in ancient China. In Tianwen, he had the questions about the sky, stars, nature, myths and the real world, showing his hunger for the truth of the universe (宇宙). Perhaps the Tianwen missions will end up answering some of Qu Yuan’s questions. If you look into more names of Chinese space programs, you will find that they all have beautiful meanings.

Somebody asks you to go for a party but you have tests the next day, or to help them although you are busy at the moment, or to join the activities you have no interest at all! Even though your heart is crying NO, you find the word “Yes” come out of your mouth. However, it usually results in anger — not only for the person who asked you, but also for yourself for not being strong enough. ②Lisa Messenger, the Collective Hub CEO, said in her first few years of business, many people asked her to talk over a coffee. Actually, she usually ended up having 20 coffee meetings a week and that stopped her from doing business because she didn’t have time to do her own work. ③Messenger finally learned to refuse like “No, I’m sorry, but I don’t have time.”. She believes if you say “Yes”, you will regret later. Or your heart will be filled with guilt, fear or anger because you feel bad for agreeing to do something you never want to. So you need to be brave enough to say “No” when you’re asked at first. ④Janine Garner, CEO of The LBD Group, believed we need to get very clear about our goals. Unless we work towards our goals, nobody else will care about our time. Garner said, “We may end up saying ‘Yes’ because we feel sorry for somebody who needs us. But we end up having that awful feeling in our heart. You can only achieve the best of you by stopping doing the things that take up your time and don’t add anything towards your goals. Take a good look at the time spent on others, which you really should spend on yourself.” 48. How does the writer begin the text? A. By telling a story. B. By giving examples. C. By making a survey. D. By asking questions. 49. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Having 20 coffee meetings a week. B. Being asked to buy coffee 20 times. C. Talking with others without coffee. D Drinking 20 cups of coffee a week. 50. Which opinion would Janine Garner probably agree with? A. Offering help is the key to make friends. B. Helping others may make you successful. C. You’d better say “No” bravely if necessary. D. People who need us will care about our time. 51. What’s the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】48. B 49. A 50. C 51. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要谈论了人际交往中的问题。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Somebody asks you to go for a party but you have tests the next day, or to help them although you are busy at the moment...you find the word ‘Yes’ come out of your mouth.”可知，作者是通过举例引出这个话题。故选B。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Actually, she usually ended up having 20 coffee meetings a week and that stopped her from doing business because she didn’t have time to do her own work.”可知，that指代的是“having 20 coffee meetings a week”，故选A。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Garner said, ‘We may end up saying ‘Yes’ because we feel sorry for somebody who needs us...which you really should spend on yourself.’可推断出，Janine Garner可能会同意“必要时你最好勇敢地说‘不’”观点。故选C。 【51题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段通过举例说明在别人对你有要求时，不能总是随便说“是”；第二和第三段是通过实例说明要学会拒绝；第四段说明Janine Garner的观点：建议人们必要时你最好勇敢地说‘不’”的观点。所以文章的篇章结构如图C所示。故选C。 D The Grasshopper (蝗虫) and the Ant Narrator (旁白): It was summertime, and the days were warm and bright. The field was filled with insects. Bees and butterflies were fitting from flower to flower. Dragonflies were flying by. A grasshopper was hopping about the field. He saw a line of ants passing by. The ants were carrying seeds (种子). The grasshopper said... Grasshopper: Come play with me, let’s have some fun. Narrator: But the busy ants kept moving as they called to him... Ant Chorus (齐声): We can’t stop now, work must be done. Narrator: The grasshopper spent his days hopping along and singing. Every day, he saw ants carrying seeds to the nest. And every day he said... Grasshopper: Come play with me, let’s have some fun. Narrator: And every day the ants called to him... Ant Chorus: We can’t stop now. Work must be done. Narrator: One day the grasshopper asked an ant... Grasshopper: Why are you working so hard? You could be playing in the warm summer sun. Ant: I am helping to store food for the winter. I think you should do the same. Grasshopper: Why bother about winter now? There is plenty of food to eat. Narrator: The grasshopper hopped away to play. The ant went back to its work. When winter came, the ants were never hungry. They ate the food they had stored during the summer. But the poor grasshopper could find nothing to eat. Grasshopper: Now I see why the ants worked so hard. When you have a lot, you should save some for later. 52. The reading material above is ________. A. a novel B. a poem C. a play D. an interview 53.

Practice makes perfect. 【答案】52. C 53. D 54. C 55. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要是有关蚂蚁和蚱蜢的话剧。蚱蜢夏天总是在玩，而蚂蚁却在忙着为冬天储存粮食，冬天一到，蚂蚁有东西吃，而蚱蜢却没有，这才意识到提前储存食物的重要性。从而告诉我们要学会未雨绸缪。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据文中有独白，及蝗虫和蚂蚁的对话，可推知是话剧。故选C。 【53题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Why bother about winter now? There is plenty of food to eat.”可知，蚱蜢觉得为什么现在要担心冬天？因为现在有很多食物可吃。所以短语“bother about”指的是“担忧”，与D选项意思一致，故选D。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据“A grasshopper was hopping around the field. He saw a line of ants passing by. The ants were carrying seeds. The grasshopper said...Come play with me. Let’s have some fun.”以及“I am helping to store food for the winter. I think you should do the same.”以及“When winter came...But the poor grasshopper could find nothing to eat.”可知，故事中蚱蜢的动作顺序是：他看见一队蚂蚁经过，让蚂蚁停下来尽情地玩，后来蚂蚁告诉他也要储存一些食物，但是他拒绝了，最后冬天来了他没有吃的了，正确的顺序应该是②④③①，故选C。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Now I see why the ants worked so hard. When you have a lot, you should save some for later.”以及整个故事的描述可知，蚱蜢饿肚子时才意识到提前储存食物的重要性，由此我们应该学会未雨绸缪，故选A。 阅读下面短文, 从所给选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 使短文通畅, 结构完整, 其中有一项为多余选项。 China Brand (品牌) is a very popular phrase now.

B Wukong, Tiangong, Tianwen…Do you know where the names of Chinese space programs come from? Wukong, the Dark Matter Explorer satellite (暗物质探测卫星), is named after the Chinese superhero, the Monkey King or Sun Wukong. According to Journey to the West, the Monkey King has a pair of sharp eyes, which can easily tell differences between the good and the bad. The Wukong satellite is just as sharp-eyed as the Monkey King to help scientists search for the dark matter in space. The name of the space station Tiangong means “Heaven Palace” in Chinese myths (神话), this is the home of Tian Di. Now Tiangong Space Station is home for Chinese astronauts in space. And China welcomes foreign astronauts to Tiangong so that they can work together. Tianwen, Chinese Mars missions (任务), gets its name from the poem Tianwen by Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan is a well-known poet in ancient China. In Tianwen, he had the questions about the sky, stars, nature, myths and the real world, showing his hunger for the truth of the universe (宇宙). Perhaps the Tianwen missions will end up answering some of Qu Yuan’s questions. If you look into more names of Chinese space programs, you will find that they all have beautiful meanings. We, almost all the Chinese people, have good hopes and expectations for our space dream. So, the naming of Chinese space programs is taken very seriously. 44. How does the writer begin the topic in Paragraph 1? A. By listing a number. B. By giving an example. C. By asking a question. D. By answering a question. 45. What is the Wukong satellite used for? A.

Welcoming foreign astronauts to the space station. 46. Why do we take the naming of Chinese space programs seriously? A. Because we want to land on Mars. B. Because we want to protect the earth. C. Because we have the hunger for truth. D. Because we have a hopeful dream for space. 47. Which can be the best title for the passage? A. What Beautiful Names B. What a hopeful Star C. What Excellent Poems D. What a Long Journey C ①It’s always easier to say “Yes” because most of us want to please other people. Somebody asks you to go for a party but you have tests the next day, or to help them although you are busy at the moment, or to join the activities you have no interest at all! Even though your heart is crying NO, you find the word “Yes” come out of your mouth. However, it usually results in anger — not only for the person who asked you, but also for yourself for not being strong enough. ②Lisa Messenger, the Collective Hub CEO, said in her first few years of business, many people asked her to talk over a coffee. Actually, she usually ended up having 20 coffee meetings a week and that stopped her from doing business because she didn’t have time to do her own work. ③Messenger finally learned to refuse like “No, I’m sorry, but I don’t have time.”. She believes if you say “Yes”, you will regret later. Or your heart will be filled with guilt, fear or anger because you feel bad for agreeing to do something you never want to. So you need to be brave enough to say “No” when you’re asked at first. ④Janine Garner, CEO of The LBD Group, believed we need to get very clear about our goals. Unless we work towards our goals, nobody else will care about our time. Garner said, “We may end up saying ‘Yes’ because we feel sorry for somebody who needs us. But we end up having that awful feeling in our heart. You can only achieve the best of you by stopping doing the things that take up your time and don’t add anything towards your goals. Take a good look at the time spent on others, which you really should spend on yourself.” 48. How does the writer begin the text? A. By telling a story. B. By giving examples. C. By making a survey. D. By asking questions. 49. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Having 20 coffee meetings a week. B. Being asked to buy coffee 20 times. C. Talking with others without coffee. D. Drinking 20 cups of coffee a week. 50. Which opinion would Janine Garner probably agree with? A. Offering help is the key to make friends. B. Helping others may make you successful. C. You’d better say “No” bravely if necessary. D. People who need us will care about our time. 51. What’s the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D.
