On the way there, they had to cross a river. One day, the donkey (驴) took a sudden fall into the river. The big bags of salt also fell into the water. Some of the salt dissolved (溶解) in the water, making the bags much lighter to carry, but the salt seller didn’t notice. The donkey realized this and felt much more comfortable on his way to the market. The next day, the donkey did the same thing, except this time, he fell in the water on purpose (故意). Again, the bags were lighter and easier to carry. The salt seller soon found out what was going on and decided to teach his donkey a lesson. The next day, he put two big bags of cotton (棉花) on the donkey’s back. Again the donkey played the same trick (伎俩), hoping that the bags would become even lighter.

Again, the bags were lighter and easier to carry.”可知驴子再次故意掉进水里是想让袋子变轻，便于驮运，故选B。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“The salt seller soon found out what was going on and decided to teach his donkey a lesson.

At one station, a drunk man suddenly entered the train. He shouted and swung his fists (拳头) at a woman holding a baby. Luckily the baby wasn’t hurt. Then he tried to kick (踢) an old woman. Everyone was scared. I’d been learning kungfu for the past three years. But I’d never fought in real life.As students of kungfu, we are not allowed to start a fight. “Kungfu,” my teacher always told us, “is about resolving conflict (解决冲突), not starting it.” I decided that this was my moment. If I didn’t do something fast, somebody might get hurt. So I stood up, ready to fight. Just then, someone shouted, “Hey!” It was an old man. He was smiling at the drunk man. “What have you been drinking?” he asked. “I’ve been drinking wine (葡萄酒), but it’s none of your business!” said the drunk man angrily. “Oh, that’s wonderful,” said the old man. Then he told how he loved drinking wine with his wife and eating watermelon. “I also love watermelon,” said the drunk man. “And I’m sure you have a wonderful wife, too,” said the old man. “No,” replied the drunk man. “My wife died.” Then he began to sob (啜泣). “I have no wife, no home, no job.” “Oh, that is so difficult. Sit down here and tell me about it,” said the old man. As I got off the train, I realized I’d just seen real kungfu in action. This was the real spirit of how to resolve conflict. 54. What can we learn from the kungfu teacher’s words? A. Students shouldn’t learn kungfu. B. kungfu is not used to start fights. C. Using kungfu may start conflicts. D. kungfu can’t actually resolve conflicts. 55. What was the drunk man’s situation in life? A. His business went broke. B. He had no place to live. C. He was living a great life. D. He had a wonderful wife. 56. What does the writer mean in the last paragraph? A. If we meet conflict, we must fight. B. The real spirit of kungfu is to start conflict. C. Fighting is not the only way to resolve conflicts. D. Everyone should learn kungfu to protect themselves. 【答案】54. B 55. B 56. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述作者在火车上遇到一个醉汉闹事，本打算用功夫制止，却看到一位老人通过交流化解冲突，让作者领悟到功夫真正精神的故事。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据“‘Kungfu,’ my teacher always told us, ‘is about resolving conflict, not starting it.’”可知，功夫是用来解决冲突，而非挑起冲突的。故选B。 【55题详解】 细节理解题。根据“‘My wife died.’ Then he began to sob. ‘I have no wife, no home, no job.’”可知，醉汉没有住的地方。故选B。 【56题详解】 推理判断题。根据“As I got off the train, I realized I’d just seen real kungfu in action. This was the real spirit of how to resolve conflict.”，结合前文老人通过交流而非打斗化解冲突可知，作者意识到打架不是解决冲突的唯一方式。故选C。 C My father lives alone. He is 92 and has slow movement. We rang him yesterday to check in after the wild weather. After making sure he was okay, we asked about his life recently. He said: “I’ve got something to tell you.” He then told us how he had gotten his groceries (食品杂货) to his car. A young gentleman (could be anyone from 12 to 70 when you are 92) stopped and said, “I will help you take your groceries to your car.” Dad wasn’t sure at first but said thank you.

Some people had two or three different newspapers every day. But why did people read newspapers? Five hundred years ago, news of important events—battles, kings or rulers (统治者) overthrown (推翻) or killed—took months or years to travel from one country to another. It passed by word of mouth. With newspapers, people could read about important things in faraway countries soon after they happened. Besides news from all over the world, newspapers gave a lot of other useful information. There were weather reports and guides for watching TV and film. There were also book reviews, stories, and of course, advertisements (广告). Advertisers paid the newspapers a large number of dollars for space on each page. For those who made newspapers, advertisements were also very important. Money from advertisements made profits (利益) for publishers (发行人) and helped keep prices low for readers. 66. 20 years ago, some people had ________ different newspapers every day. 67. 500 years ago, important news passed by ________. 68. How many kinds of information did newspapers give to the people? _____________________________________________________________________ 69.

Six. 69. They helped keep prices low for readers. / They helped make newspapers cheaper for readers. 70. 有了报纸，人们也可以很快地知道发生在遥远国家的重要事情。 【解析】 【导语】本文对比了不同时期新闻传播方式的变化，并分析了报纸的功能及广告的作用。 【66题详解】 根据“Some people had two or three different newspapers every day.”可知20年前有些人每天会买2-3种不同的报纸。故填two or three。 【67题详解】 根据“It passed by word of mouth”可知500年前重要新闻是通过口口相传的。故填word of mouth。 【68题详解】 根据“Besides news…weather reports…guides for watching TV and film…book reviews, stories…advertisements”可知报纸提供的信息种类包括：国际新闻、天气预报、电视电影指南、书评、故事和广告，一共六种。故填Six. 【69题详解】 根据“Money from advertisements…helped keep prices low for readers”可知广告收入使报纸价格保持低廉从而使读者受益。故填They helped keep prices low for readers. / They helped make newspapers cheaper for readers. 【70题详解】 With newspapers“有了报纸”；people“人们”；could“能够”；read about“获悉”；important things“重要事情”；in faraway countries“在遥远国家”；soon after“不久之后”；they“它们”；happened“发生”。故填：有了报纸，人们也可以很快地知道发生在遥远国家的重要事情。 第四部分 情景交际 X.补全对话。（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） A: Hi, Steve. ____71____?

Thousands of tourists visit my hometown every year to enjoy its beauty. I hope my hometown will develop faster in the future.

On the way there, they had to cross a river. One day, the donkey (驴) took a sudden fall into the river. The big bags of salt also fell into the water. Some of the salt dissolved (溶解) in the water, making the bags much lighter to carry, but the salt seller didn’t notice. The donkey realized this and felt much more comfortable on his way to the market. The next day, the donkey did the same thing, except this time, he fell in the water on purpose (故意). Again, the bags were lighter and easier to carry. The salt seller soon found out what was going on and decided to teach his donkey a lesson. The next day, he put two big bags of cotton (棉花) on the donkey’s back. Again the donkey played the same trick (伎俩), hoping that the bags would become even lighter. But the cotton that fell into the water and became very heavy to carry. The donkey learned a lesson and didn’t play this trick anymore after that day. 51.

The salt seller took some salt out of the bags. 52. The donkey fell into the river again because ______. A. he hoped to find the missing salt B. he wanted to make the bags lighter C. he wanted to swim across the river D. he thought it was comfortable in the water 53. What did the salt seller do after finding out what the donkey was doing? A. He replaced (代替) salt with cotton in the bags. B. He added some cotton to the bags of salt. C. He taught the donkey how to cross the river. D. He put two bags of wet cotton on the donkey. B I was on the train one afternoon. Our carriage was almost empty, just a few people. At one station, a drunk man suddenly entered the train. He shouted and swung his fists (拳头) at a woman holding a baby. Luckily the baby wasn’t hurt. Then he tried to kick (踢) an old woman. Everyone was scared. I’d been learning kungfu for the past three years. But I’d never fought in real life.As students of kungfu, we are not allowed to start a fight. “Kungfu,” my teacher always told us, “is about resolving conflict (解决冲突), not starting it.” I decided that this was my moment. If I didn’t do something fast, somebody might get hurt. So I stood up, ready to fight. Just then, someone shouted, “Hey!” It was an old man. He was smiling at the drunk man. “What have you been drinking?” he asked. “I’ve been drinking wine (葡萄酒), but it’s none of your business!” said the drunk man angrily. “Oh, that’s wonderful,” said the old man. Then he told how he loved drinking wine with his wife and eating watermelon. “I also love watermelon,” said the drunk man. “And I’m sure you have a wonderful wife, too,” said the old man. “No,” replied the drunk man. “My wife died.” Then he began to sob (啜泣). “I have no wife, no home, no job.” “Oh, that is so difficult. Sit down here and tell me about it,” said the old man. As I got off the train, I realized I’d just seen real kungfu in action. This was the real spirit of how to resolve conflict. 54. What can we learn from the kungfu teacher’s words? A. Students shouldn’t learn kungfu. B. kungfu is not used to start fights. C. Using kungfu may start conflicts. D. kungfu can’t actually resolve conflicts. 55. What was the drunk man’s situation in life? A. His business went broke. B. He had no place to live. C. He was living a great life. D. He had a wonderful wife. 56. What does the writer mean in the last paragraph? A. If we meet conflict we must fight. B. The real spirit of kungfu is to start conflict. C. Fighting is not the only way to resolve conflicts. D. Everyone should learn kungfu to protect themselves. C My father lives alone. He is 92 and has slow movement.

He said: “I’ve got something to tell you.” He then told us how he had gotten his groceries (食品杂货) to his car. A young gentleman (could be anyone from 12 to 70 when you are 92) stopped and said, “I will help you take your groceries to your car.” Dad wasn’t sure at first but said thank you. The man then unloaded (卸货) the groceries and made sure they were secure (稳固的). He then took the cart (手推车) back to the supermarket too. After a little talk, Dad said thank you again. The man just said, “No problem.” A few days later, Dad was at the bank in the line. The “young” man behind him said, “I will hold your place while we wait. There is a chair over there. Go and sit down for a while.” Dad said, “Oh, why? Was I shaking or looking weak?” “No,” was the reply, “I know my dad would find it hard to stand for so long.” So, Dad thankfully went and sat down. When the time came for Dad to get to the front of the line, a nod (点头) of the head and a smile came his way.
