A
Doing housework is a key part of family life. It helps improve the relationship among family members. However, lots of Chinese parents are unaware of the importance of doing housework and they think it is a waste of time.
In order to know how often middle school students do housework at home, we did a survey among 1,200 students from Grade 7 to Grade 9 in a middle school. The following bar chart shows the result of our survey.
From the bar chart, we find that only a small number of students usually do housework. Nearly half of the students in Grade 9 never do housework. The result makes us worried.
After all, doing housework is good for students. It can teach students many important skills, like planning, timing, solving problems and so on. Doing housework can also teach students what responsibility is. Everyone should do something for the family. What’s more, doing housework can help students relax themselves and keep a balance between study and life.
Therefore, we suggest that parents should encourage their children to do housework. They must learn one or two life skills every year so that they can be better prepared for an independent life in the future.
26. What can we learn from the bar chart?
A. Students in all grades actively take part in housework.
B. Over half of the students in Grade 8 never do housework.
C. Students in Grade 7 do housework more often than students in Grade 9.
D. The result of Grade 9 students is the least worrying among all grades.
27.What can we infer from the fact that nearly half of the Grade 9 students never do housework?
A. Grade 9 students are the laziest among the three grades.
B. Parents of Grade 9 students may not encourage them to do housework.
C. Grade 9 students have no time to do housework because of their studies.
D. Housework is too difficult for Grade 9 students.
28. Which is NOT an advantage of doing housework?
A. Relaxing a busy mind. B. Saving more time for study.
C. Practising planning and timing skills. D. Learning to be independent from parents.
29. What does the underlined word “responsibility” probably mean in paragraph 4?
A. Skill. B. Ability. C. Duty. D. Method.
30. What’s the purpose of the passage?

C. To remind parents the importance of doing housework.
D. To point out a worrying problem for teachers in school.
B
Many of us may have experienced the pleasant moment of seeing recommended songs after we listen to some songs on a music app. When we open shopping websites, we often see things we want to buy on the home page. The businessman can decide which is the best place to build a new entrance in a big supermarket in the city center. If you want to take a taxi on a taxi app, it can even guess where you want to go before you tell it! Aren’t these things amazing?
This is based on data (数据). Data is no longer only about numbers, but information from almost every side of our lives: our shopping habits, interests or what we eat. All of this is called “big data”. In December, 2017, President Xi Jinping called for China to speed up its big data strategy (战略) to better serve social and economic (经济的) development. As a result, people’s lives can be improved as well. He also asked for greater use of big data in areas like education, social security and transportation.
We have seen big data being used more often in China in the past few years. The role it plays in tourism (旅游业) is just one example. Many travelers today like to share their experiences with others on the Internet. All the data that travelers share online is helping the tourism industry get a lot of information. After the data is analyzed (分析), these tour sights can know about travelers’ needs better. In this way, services will be improved, which is helpful to the development of the whole industry. As a result, travelers can expect better tours in the future.
Moreover, big data is also an important growth tool for economic development. With growth rate of 30 percent every year, sales of big data industry in China will reach one trillion yuan yearly by 2020. Having so many good influences, big data is sure to be seen more and more in China.
31. According to Paragraph 1, big data can help people ______.
A. buy songs from a music app
B. design home pages for websites
C. take a taxi without paying for it
D. make better decisions in business
32. Data from travelers is analyzed in order to ______.
A. share travelling experiences online
B. expect better travelers in the future
C. improve services of the tour sights
D. know the needs of tour sights better
33. After reading the passage, we know that ______.
A. the speed of big data development in China now is enough
B. people have few chances to use big data at present in China
C. sales of big data industry are growing fast every year by 30%
D. big data improve people’s life before the social development can be realized
34. Which of the following words can describe the writer’s feeling towards big data?
A. Sad. B. Bored. C. Hopeful. D. Careful.
35. What can be the best title for the passage?

If you could travel back in time to meet a famous person from history, who would you like to meet? I dream to visit Shenkuo.
Shenkuo, the most excellent figure in the entire history of Chinese science, was born in the Northern Song. He also made contributions in fields of mathematics, geography, economics, engineering, medicine, music and others.
When he was young, Shen traveled to many parts of the country and studied the plants, fossils (化石), rivers, mountains, weather, local engineering projects and so on. He also conducted experiments to test his discoveries and theories.

In this field Shenkuo was hundreds of years ahead of western scientists. Because of his wisdom, he served as a government official in many positions.
In his late years, Shenkuo settled down in Runzhou and wrote a great work MengxiBitan, or Dream Pool Essays. It consists of three parts, which is a collection of his life experiences and insights. In MengxiBitan, you can learn about both the ancient musical instruments and drawings. You can also travel in Yandang Mountain along with him. The book was widely regarded as an important scientific work in ancient China. Today, this amazing 1,000-year-old work has been translated into a number of different languages.
36. What is Shenkuo in Northern Song?

第二节、阅读填空(5分)
Do you like the number 13? 41 In the past, a lot of tall buildings didn’t have the 13th floor. 42 For example, the number “4” is said to be unlucky because it sounds like the Chinese word for “death”. But that’s just one example about numbers in China.
When I first came here, I was surprised to see that many websites had numbers in their names instead of letters. I soon found that this is actually convenient, as Chinese characters (汉字) cannot be used for website addresses. 43
In pinyin, the telecom company China Unicom is called Zhongguo Liantong. If the company used their pinyin name for their website address, it would be quite long. 44
In addition, the pronunciations of some numbers sound similar to other words in Chinese. This is wordplay (双关语). For example, the numbers “520” in Chinese sound similar to the pronunciation of the Chinese phrase “I love you”. 45
A. They can only use numbers or letters instead.
B. There are also superstitions (迷信) about some numbers in China.
C. In western countries, some people think the number 13 brings bad luck.
D. It is interesting to see how Chinese people use numbers in different ways.
E. So instead, they used the hotline number—10010.com. This is easier to type and remember.
F. Many couples choose to get married on May 20th for this reason.

Doing housework is a key part of family life. It helps improve the relationship among family members. However, lots of Chinese parents are unaware of the importance of doing housework and they think it is a waste of time.
In order to know how often middle school students do housework at home, we did a survey among 1,200 students from Grade 7 to Grade 9 in a middle school. The following bar chart shows the result of our survey.
From the bar chart, we find that only a small number of students usually do housework. Nearly half of the students in Grade 9 never do housework. The result makes us worried.
After all, doing housework is good for students. It can teach students many important skills, like planning, timing, solving problems and so on.

【解析】本文为一篇说明文。展示了中学生在家中做家务的频率。调查结果显示,只有少数学生通常会做家务,几乎有一半的九年级学生从不做家务。这个结果让我们感到担忧。
26. 细节理解题。根据条形图可知,七年级经常做家务的人数是126人,九年级经常做家务的人数是116人,所以七年级的学生比九年级的学生更经常做家务。故选C。
27.B. 推理判断题。文章提到很多中国家长没有意识到做家务的重要性,认为这是浪费时间,而近一半九年级学生从不做家务,由此可推断出九年级学生的家长可能没有鼓励他们做家务。A 选项说九年级学生是三个年级中最懒的,过于绝对;文中未提及九年级学生不做家务是因为学习没时间,C 选项排除;文章也没有说家务对九年级学生来说太难,D 选项排除。所以选 B。
28. 细节理解题。根据第四段“It can teach students many important skills, like planning, timing, solving problems and so on.”(它可以教会学生许多重要的技能,如计划、时间安排、解决问题等。)和“What’s more, doing housework can help students relax themselves and keep a balance between study and life.”(此外,做家务可以帮助学生放松自己,保持学习和生活之间的平衡。)以及最后一段“They must learn one or two life skills every year so that they can be better prepared for an independent life in the future.”(他们必须每年学习一两项生活技能,以便为将来的独立生活做好准备。)可知,没有提到“节省了更多的学习时间”。故选B。
29. 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Everyone should do something for the family.”(每个人都应该为家庭做点什么。)可知,做家务还可以教会学生什么是责任,所以“responsibility”是“责任”的意思。故选C。
30. 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其根据最后一段“Therefore, we suggest that parents should encourage their children to do housework. They must learn one or two life skills every year so that they can be better prepared for an independent life in the future.”(因此,我们建议父母应该鼓励孩子做家务。他们必须每年学习一两项生活技能,以便为将来的独立生活做好准备。)可知,文章的目的是提醒父母做家务的重要性。故选C。
B
Many of us may have experienced the pleasant moment of seeing recommended songs after we listen to some songs on a music app. When we open shopping websites, we often see things we want to buy on the home page. The businessman can decide which is the best place to build a new entrance in a big supermarket in the city center. If you want to take a taxi on a taxi app, it can even guess where you want to go before you tell it! Aren’t these things amazing?

After the data is analyzed (分析), these tour sights can know about travelers’ needs better. In this way, services will be improved, which is helpful to the development of the whole industry. As a result, travelers can expect better tours in the future.
Moreover, big data is also an important growth tool for economic development. With growth rate of 30 percent every year, sales of big data industry in China will reach one trillion yuan yearly by 2020. Having so many good influences, big data is sure to be seen more and more in China.

第二节、阅读填空(5分)
Do you like the number 13? 41 In the past, a lot of tall buildings didn’t have the 13th floor. 42 For example, the number “4” is said to be unlucky because it sounds like the Chinese word for “death”. But that’s just one example about numbers in China.
When I first came here, I was surprised to see that many websites had numbers in their names instead of letters. I soon found that this is actually convenient, as Chinese characters (汉字) cannot be used for website addresses. 43
In pinyin, the telecom company China Unicom is called Zhongguo Liantong. If the company used their pinyin name for their website address, it would be quite long. 44
In addition, the pronunciations of some numbers sound similar to other words in Chinese. This is wordplay (双关语). For example, the numbers “520” in Chinese sound similar to the pronunciation of the Chinese phrase “I love you”. 45
A. They can only use numbers or letters instead.
B. There are also superstitions (迷信) about some numbers in China.
C. In western countries, some people think the number 13 brings bad luck.
D. It is interesting to see how Chinese people use numbers in different ways.
E. So instead, they used the hotline number—10010.com. This is easier to type and remember.
F. Many couples choose to get married on May 20th for this reason.
【答案】41. C 42. B 43. A 44. E 45. F
【解析】本文介绍了数字在文化中的特殊意义以及它们在网站名称中的应用;文章还提到了一些数字与中文词语发音相似,形成有趣的双关语现象。
41. 根据上文“Do you like the number 13? ”可知,此处是人们对于数字13的看法;选项C“在西方国家,有些人认为数字13会带来厄运。”符合语境。故选C。
42. 根据下文“For example, the number ‘4’ is said to be unlucky because it sounds like the Chinese word for ‘death’.”可知,中国文化中对数字也有迷信的说法;选项B“在中国也有一些关于数字的迷信。”符合语境。故选B。
43. 根据上文“I soon found that this is actually convenient, as Chinese characters (汉字) cannot be used for website addresses.”可知,汉字不能在网址上用,所以此处是介绍什么可以用在网址上;选项A“它们只能用数字或字母来代替。”符合语境。故选A。
44. 根据上文“If the company used their pinyin name for their website address, it would be quite long.”可知,中国联通使用拼音导致网址太长,所以他们采用了数字;选项E“因此,他们使用了热线电话10010.com。这样更容易打字和记忆。”符合语境。故选E。
45. 根据上文“For example, the numbers ‘520’ in Chinese sound similar to the pronunciation of the Chinese phrase ‘I love you’. ”可知,520的谐音是“我爱你”;选项F“出于这个原因,许多情侣选择在5月20日结婚。”符合语境。故选F。

【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了一只乌鸦因羡慕天鹅、鹦鹉、孔雀的外表而不断寻找,最终从孔雀的话语中领悟到应满足于自身拥有的东西,而不是觊觎没有的东西的道理。
56. 句意:天鹅正飞过一个湖。根据“The swan...(fly) over a lake”可知,描述乌鸦看到天鹅时,天鹅正在湖面上空飞行,短文整体时态为一般过去时,结合所给单词fly,这里要用其过去进行时形式was flying,表示过去某个时间点正在进行的动作。故填was flying。
57. 句意:实际上我也这么认为,直到我遇到了一只鹦鹉。根据“until I...(meet) a parrot”可知,短文整体时态为一般过去时,结合所给单词meet,动词要用过去式met。故填met。

60. 句意:他终于在一个动物园里找到了孔雀。根据“He...(final) found the peacock at a zoo”可知,这里需要一个副词修饰动词found,结合所给单词final,其副词形式是finally“最终,终于”。故填finally。
61. 句意:数百人聚集在周围观看孔雀和它美丽的羽毛。根据“...(hundred) of people”可知,hundreds of“数百的”是固定短语,结合所给单词hundred,要用其复数形式hundreds。句首单词首字母大写。故填Hundreds。
62. 句意:数百人聚集在周围观看孔雀和它美丽的羽毛。根据“...(it) beautiful feathers”可知,这里需要一个形容词性物主代词修饰feathers,结合所给单词it,其形容词性物主代词是its“它的”。故填its。
63. 句意:每天,人们来只是为了看你。根据“people come just...(see) you”可知,人们来动物园的目的是看孔雀,这里用动词不定式表示目的,结合所给单词see,要用to see。故填to see。
