Dragon Dance(舞龙)is a kind of traditional dance in Chinese culture. It has been spread(传播)all over China and to the whole world.
Traditionally, dragons were made of wood and cloth. However, in the modern times, dragons are much lighter because they are made of lighter materials like plastic. The length(长度)of dragons can be from around 25 to 35 meters for acrobatic(杂技)models, and up to 50 to 70 meters for the largest parade(游行)styles because people believe that the longer the dragon is, the more luck it will bring. A small organization cannot run a very long dragon because it requires great human power, much money and special skills.
The Dragon Dance itself began during the Han Dynasty. And it was started by the Chinese who had shown great respect towards the dragon. It was already a popular event during the Song Dynasty. At that time, it became a popular activity like the Lion Dance. People could often see it during some important festivals. In the Qing Dynasty, the Dragon Dance Team of Fuzhou was invited to put on a show in Beijing. And the emperor(黄帝)spoke highly of it. The emperors of ancient China thought of themselves as the dragons.

Once there was a farmer. He lived in a dry land. Each morning, the farmer would walk to a nearby well(井) to get water for drinking. After making two buckets(桶) full of water from the well, the farmer would carefully place a bamboo stick over his shoulders to carry them home.
One of the buckets had a small hole. All the way home from the well, it would leak water along the way. By the time the farmer got home, the leaky bucket would be only half full. This went on for years, and the leaky bucket began feeling sad and sorry. One day it called out to the farmer, “I’m so sorry that I leak! I am making life harder for you.”
The farmer only smiled. “Dear bucket,” he said, “Look at this way we are on. Don’t you see many beautiful flowers growing next to it?

Anger is a kind of feeling. Many things can make you angry. When your teacher gives you too much homework, when your team loses an important game, when a friend borrows your favorite thing and then breaks it, you may get really angry.
Usually, your body will tell you when you are angry. For example, you breathe (呼吸) faster, your face turns red, and you may want to break something or hit (打) someone, but sometimes, you hide your anger. For example, you may hide it in your heart. The problem is that if you do this, you may get a headache or your stomach may hurt.
In fact, it’s not good to hide your anger, and it’s normal for you to get angry sometimes. But anger must be let out in the right way, without hurting others or yourself.
When you get angry, you can talk about it with other people. It’s helpful to talk about your anger with an adult, such as parents, a teacher, etc. When you talk about anger, those bad feelings can start to go away. Here are some other things you can do when you start to feel angry: talk to a good friend; count from 1 to 100; give someone a hug; go for a bike ride; think about good things, etc.
Remember that how you act when you are angry can make everything better or worse. Don’t let your anger control you.

If you live in a poor area, finding out what is going on is sometimes difficult. Without television, radios or newspapers, people often miss information about education and health.
Back in the early 1990s, Trevor Baylis was sitting at home in the UK, watching a TV programme about the AIDS in Africa. In the programme, the World Health Organization said that the biggest problem was getting health educational information for the people. Radio was the only way of communication in many areas, but few homes had electricity and batteries were too expensive for most people.
Trevor Baylis wanted to invent a radio that would work without electricity or batteries. He started to do some experiments. He tried putting a motor on a clock machine and connecting the wires to a small radio. In his clockwork machine, the handle wound up a string. As the string unwound, it gave energy to make the radio work.
The first clockwork radio worked for 14 minutes after two minutes of winding. Trevor Baylis had invented the clockwork radio.
41. Why did Trevor Baylis want to invent the clockwork radio?

【导语】本文作者通过一张旧照片回忆起自己最好的朋友——小狗杜克。文中讲述了杜克在日常生活中与作者相处的许多温馨有趣的场景,如陪伴作者读书、赶猫上树、向妈妈要食物、在作者生病时陪伴等。作者从杜克身上学到了很多生活的道理,虽然最后感慨生命短暂,但认为杜克就像一位教会自己如何去爱与被爱的老师 。
【31题详解】
句意:在照片里,我正坐在一把椅子上,抱着杜克,它是我全世界最好的朋友。根据 “In the photo” 可知,此处描述照片所定格的瞬间正在进行的动作,要用过去进行时态,过去进行时的结构是“was/were+现在分词”,主语是I,be动词用was ,sit的现在分词是sitting,故填was sitting。
【32题详解】
句意:对于这样一只小狗来说,杜克是个有趣的名字。根据“Duke was an interesting name for such...little dog.”可知,“such a+可数名词单数”表示“这样一个……”,“dog”是可数名词单数,故填a。
【33题详解】

【34题详解】
句意:当我出去做游戏时,它会把我们的猫赶到树上,然后得意洋洋地走开。根据“When I went outside...games”可知,“go outside to do sth.”表示“出去做某事”,这里用动词不定式“to play”作目的状语。故填to play。
【35题详解】
句意:当我出去做游戏时,它会把我们的猫赶到树上,然后得意洋洋地走开。“feel proud of oneself”是固定短语,表示“为某人自己感到骄傲”,pride的形容词是proud,故填proud。
【36题详解】
句意:当它饿了的时候,它会用嘴叼着它的食盆,然后把它放在我妈妈的脚边。分析句子可知,“carry his food dish in his mouth”和“drop it at my mom’s feet”是并列的动作,此处用and连接,故填and。

【39题详解】
句意:我学到如果你带着极大的享受去吃,最简单的晚餐也可以很美味。根据“I learned that the simplest dinner can be delicious...you eat it with great enjoyment.”可知,“you eat it with great enjoyment”是条件,“the simplest dinner can be delicious”是结果,所以这里用“if”引导条件状语从句。故填if。
【40题详解】
句意:遗憾的是,我也学到了生命是短暂的,尤其是如果你是一只狗。根据“..., I also learned that life is short, especially if you are a dog.”可知,这里要用副词修饰整个句子,sad的副词是sadly,首字母大写,故填Sadly。
四、任务型阅读(共10分,前三小题每小题2分,44小题4分)
If you live in a poor area, finding out what is going on is sometimes difficult. Without television, radios or newspapers, people often miss information about education and health.
Back in the early 1990s, Trevor Baylis was sitting at home in the UK, watching a TV programme about the AIDS in Africa. In the programme, the World Health Organization said that the biggest problem was getting health educational information for the people. Radio was the only way of communication in many areas, but few homes had electricity and batteries were too expensive for most people.
Trevor Baylis wanted to invent a radio that would work without electricity or batteries. He started to do some experiments. He tried putting a motor on a clock machine and connecting the wires to a small radio. In his clockwork machine, the handle wound up a string. As the string unwound, it gave energy to make the radio work.
The first clockwork radio worked for 14 minutes after two minutes of winding. Trevor Baylis had invented the clockwork radio.
