I have many hobbies, especially reading. I have read lots of classics on Chinese history, so I know much about Chinese history and culture. And I know lots of traditional Chinese stories, like Hou Yi Shoots the Suns, Yu Gong Moves a Mountain and so on. I am good at telling them in English. And I can get a strong feeling of satisfaction when I see the look of joy on their faces while my classmates are listening to me. In a word, this activity is meaningful. We can not only develop an interest of learning English but also improve our spoken English through the activity. As a Chinese student, itˈs our duty to make more people know about our history and culture! I expect that you can give me this chance to show myself and Iˈm looking forward to your reply.

Let’s learn about them. Music is a good way to bring people closer. On the one hand, when people go to a concert, they could meet many like-minded (志趣相投的) people. They have common topics to discuss with each other. On the other hand, listeners could communicate with performers and creators from heart to heart. They can share happiness or sadness together. Music is good for our brain development. Studies have shown that learning to play a musical instrument (乐器) makes our brain get better at thinking, remembering things, and solving problems. Learning music also helps us to be more creative and show our ideas. Different types of music can tell us different stories of history. For example, pop music got popular in the 1950s. It showed the young challenged the traditional music and built a freer music environment. In the 1960s, music began to change towards a softer folk (民间的) style. It showed peace and love. The electronic (电子的) music became hot in the 1980s. It showed the young went after the future. Music is helpful to learn a language. It will make language learning more interesting. You can choose an English song you like, and listen to it again and again so that you can learn to sing it. That will help you with your spoken English. In short, listening to music is like traveling. You will meet interesting people and hear great stories. 4. Why does music bring people closer? A. Because people can play musical instruments together. B. Because people can have the common topics to talk about. C. Because people can go to the concert together. D. Because people can learn music history from each other. 5. How can music help us when we learn a language? A. By teaching us more words and grammar rules. B. By teaching us to sing songs in different languages. C. By making the language learning more fun. D. By making us become more creative. 6. What is the best title of the passage? A. Music Brings a lot to Us B. Music Has a Long History C. Music Tells Different Stories D. Music Is Changing 7. What is the structure of the passage? (① = Paragraph 1) A. B. C. D. C You must have read or heard of the sad love story between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. But can you imagine the singing opera in English instead of speaking poetic Chinese? Jia and Lin are two characters from the classic Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions (《红楼梦》), written by Cao Xueqin. Now the book has been made into an English-language opera. After being performed in San Francisco, the US, the performance came to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan in 2017. Many of the operaˈs creators have backgrounds in both Chinese and American cultures, including the director and dramatists. Their understanding of both cultures helped them change a Chinese classic into a foreign-language opera. The book, which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters and hundreds of characters. But opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven. Hwang, a Chinese-American, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin and tried to write a tragedy (悲剧) that everyone would understand. The art director Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, tried to help foreigners understand the characters by using costumes and stage decorations (装饰). He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin showed up onstage, there was usually water around her. The creators considered the work of introducing a Chinese classic to foreigners was worth doing. Hwang told China Daily he was happy to “have made a contribution (贡献) to the land where my parents were born”. 8. What do we know about A Dream of Red Mansions from Paragraph 4? A. It is about the rise and greatness of the Qing Dynasty. B. It tells the happy ending of the love story between Jia and Lin. C. The Chinese book is long and rich in characters. D. The Chinese book has seven characters in total. 9. Lin wore a light green costume to help foreigners understand her ________. A. dressing style B. character C. appearance D. life habits 10. What can we infer from the passage? A. A Dream of Red Mansions was translated into French. B. David Henry Hwangˈs parents were both born in America. C. The English-language opera was on tour in the US. D. Timmy Yip knows a lot about Chinese and American cultures. 11. What do creators of the opera think of their job? A. Difficult and unbelievable. B. Stressful and hard. C. Satisfying and meaningful. D. Painful and challenging. D   When I was seven years old, my family made me an ant farm(蚂蚁窝). First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive.     After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels (地道). I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job.     On the fifth day something terrible happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although(虽然) the ants kept alive after their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was frightened as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner (角落) of the farm.     My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not stand(忍受) that their tunnels were gone.     Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more.     Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired (钦佩) for their hard work.     But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity (逆境) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone, we must build another.     Giving up is not a good choice. 12. Which of the following is WRONG according to(根据) the passage? A. Giving up isn’t a good way when we meet trouble. B. Like people, teamwork is very important for the ants. C. The ants didn't die one by one after the tunnels were destroyed. D. The writer knocked the glass box over because he put his face so close to the glass farm. 13. What did the writer come to realize a few years later? A. Working together is useless. B. Teamwork is important. C. He can't accept adversity. D. Working alone is amazing. 14. Among the following events, which one happened first? A. All the tunnels fell down. B. The ants died one by one. C. The ants got into the glass box. D. The ants began making tunnels. 15. What is the best title for the passage? A. Ants Fear Adversity B. My Family and Ants C. Giving Up in Adversity D. Don't give up any time 二、 根据句意和首字母写单词(每题2分，共28分) 1.

It tells us how a teacher makes a      (1)     (different) to the lives of his students through music. Now the similar story is happening at Haiga Primary School. Haiga Primary School is in Liupanshui, Southwest China's Guizhou Province. Its headmaster, Zheng Long,      (2)     (teach) in the school since 2002. At that time, the school had no electricity or running water. There were only one teacher and fewer than ten students in two grades. Now, things get      (3)     (true) good. Gu Ya, a 37-year-old teacher, came to teach Chinese at Haiga Primary School eight years ago. When he first came to the school,      (4)      found the students here were shy and quiet, so he decided      (5)     (open) their hearts through music. He helped students to learn the guitar, the drums or the bass guitar.      (6)      2018, the school formed(形成) its first rock band called Yu. Soon after, the other bands were also set up one after another. Xiong Ting, a 15-year-old girl, was     (7)      student there before. She was the guitar player of the band "Unknown Boy". "I was shy and quiet before,      (8)      Gu's class changed me. And I became the most outgoing and the      (9)     (brave) girl in my class. I hope I could become a music teacher like Gu and let all children know the forces of music." The story of Haiga Primary School has been popular online. Because of Gu's      (10)     (kind), the musical story at this primary school is still going on. 四、完型填空 (每题1分，共7分)从方框中选择适当的词填空，每空一词。有两个词为多余选项。 other, worth, seldom, change, however, on, height, at, often      During May, most places in China are warm. But Mount Qomolangma is still cold and covered with snow. At this time, a group of Chinese climbers are climbing the highest mountain in the world. They are going to measure (测量) the    (1)   of the mountain.      In fact, China already measured the height of the mountain in 1975 (8,848.13 meters) and 2005 (8,844.43 meters). But the height can    (2)   as Earth's plates (板块) move. As technology improves, people want to get more exact numbers.         (3)   , measuring its height is not easy. The temperature there is -29℃, four degrees lower than that in Antarctica (南极洲). The snow there is 4—5 meters thick and strong winds blow all the time. They collect data (数据)    (4)   the top of the mountain. After that, scientists study the data and calculate (计算) the height of the mountain.      To deal with the difficult conditions, team members started training in January. They have to sleep in their tents to keep warm. To save fresh water, climbers    (5)   take a shower or wash faces. As for food, they have three dishes and soup for each meal. It is easy to keep meat fresh in such a low temperature.     Though there are also some    (6)   difficulties that we can not think of, the mountain is still    (7)   measuring. An exact measurement can help to study the plate movement so that scientists can warn people the coming of the earthquakes. 五、 阅读表达 (每题2分，共10分) Students at a university in Hengyang, Hunan Province, handed over used express boxes for class credits（学分）, as part of an effort to raise the awareness（意识）of environmental protection.
