Pan Gu, the god of creation (创世), is believed to be the first living thing to have come forth from the egg of chaos. Four others followed—a dragon, a qilin (Chinese Unicorn), a tortoise, and a feng huang (phoenix). These four are called the Four Spirits (神灵) who guard the world in four directions. They joined with Pan Gu to create the universe (宇宙) we now know.
Dragons are powerful and benevolent (仁慈的) symbols in Chinese culture. Dragons can control (操控) water, e.g. summoning (召唤) rain during the dry weather. Dragons are everywhere in China—in legends, festivals, zodiac (生肖), art, names, and idioms. You can always find dragon elements whenever you are learning about Chinese culture.
In early ancient (古代的) times, Feng Huang referred (指代) not to one bird, but two. Feng was a male bird, while Huang was a female. Together, they were a representation (代表) of the solemn (庄严) relationship between man and woman. Later, feng and huang were combined into (合并成) a single female bird and often paired with a male dragon. This is the Chinese phoenix most commonly recognized today.
The qilin is a mythical beast (神兽) that symbolizes good luck and prosperity (繁荣). According to tradition in China, a qilin would appear to signal the birth or death of a benevolent ruler or sage (圣人) scholar. Because of its association (联系) with good luck, and its peaceful, vegetarian nature, the qilin is sometimes called the “Chinese unicorn”.
In Chinese culture, the tortoise holds a position of great significance as one of the four celestial (天体) animals. It embodies (包含) attributes of longevity (长寿), power, and tenacity (坚韧), symbolizing the cosmic forces that shape the universe. The protective dome-like shell represents (代表) the sky while the flat body represents the surface of the earth as we know it.
16. The materials above all have something to do with (与……有关) ________.
A Chinese traditional culture B. Pan Gu’s creating our nature
C. these animals in the world D. Chinese festivals and science
17. In ancient stories, if it was very dry somewhere, which Spirit would help?
A. The Tortoise. B. The Phoenix.
C. The Chinese Unicorn. D. The Dragon.
18. What did Feng and Huang represent in early ancient times?
A. Only one bird. B. Man and woman.
C. Phoenix and dragon. D. Ruler and scholar.
19. The qilin is sometimes called the “Chinese unicorn” because it symbolizes ________.
A. the cosmic forces that shape the universe
B. the control of water and summoning rain
C. good luck, peaceful and vegetarian nature
D. a representation of a solemn relationship
20. People think tortoise is a symbol of ________.
A. power, benevolence and water
B. longevity, power, and tenacity
C. good luck, prosperity and peace
D. female bird and male dragon
【答案】16. A 17. D 18. B 19. C 20. B

I have a neighbor we call “Happy”. I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a harsh (苛刻) word to anyone or about anyone.
Happy and her husband Ben, 70, have a huge garden. They spent many happy hours together working on it. Most of the neighbors watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden. As the cost of food climbed faster than Ben’s beans, we all wished we also had such a large garden. As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market, Happy could be seen picking beans in her back yard.
Last month, Happy and Ben invited most of the neighborhood over for an “all-day food fest”. We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning. We didn’t know what was about to take place.
By 9:00 am there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans, okra, and squash. By 10:00 am, there was lots of laughter. We shared a lot of stories. By five o’clock, everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer. After dinner, we played games. As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty (收成) of the day, already packaged and frozen. What a delightful gift!
Well, the point wasn’t so much about the food. The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another’s company. None of it would have happened if it had been for Happy and Ben’s garden. Now they have a blog about gardening in case we decided to plant a garden. And I am so proud of my tomato plants!

I have always been fascinated by the animal world. Recently, I read a novel about animals called A Lion’s Traveling. Chinese writer Shen Shixi wrote it.
The book tells the story of five male lions. They are driven out of their home and begin their adventure. Unluckily, one is hurt by a giraffe. Another is killed by a hunter. The third one dies during a fight for water with a rhino (犀牛). The fourth lion drowns (淹死), named Red Ribbon (红飘带), is still alive. After going through many difficulties

The fact that the young lion finally becomes the king teaches me a great lesson: Those who cannot beat you will make you stronger. Everyone will face lots of difficulties during their lifetime. We should learn to stay strong and continue to find our best selves.
The book is filled with exciting details about the lives of lions. Together with vivid pictures, it gives readers an impressive experience. You can not only read the great story but also learn a lot about the animals in the real world. I highly suggest reading it!

38. 这个城市如此漂亮以至于我不想离开。(使用本模块所学的so…that…结构来翻译)
__________________________________
【答案】The city is so beautiful that I don’t want to leave (it).
【解析】
【详解】分析所给句子可知,此句为陈述句,时态为一般现在时。city“城市”,可数名词,此处表示特指,用定冠词the修饰,作主语;主语为第三人称单数,be用is;so…that…“如此……以至于……”引导结果状语从句;beautiful“漂亮”,形容词作表语;I“我”,作从句主语;want to do sth.“想做某事”,动词短语;“want”为实义动词,主语是I,否定助动词用don’t;leave“离开”,“to”后接动词原形;it“它”,指代单数名词“city”,此处也可省略。故填The city is so beautiful that I don’t want to leave (it).
39. 你能用英语从10倒数到1吗?
Can you ________ from ten to one in English?

Peter ________ you as soon as he ________ Beijing.
【答案】 ①. will call ②. gets to
【解析】
【详解】根据中英文对照可知缺少汉语提示“打电话”和“到达”。“打电话”用call,实义动词;“到达”用get to+地点名词,固定搭配;as soon as引导的时间状语从句,从句用一般现在时,主句用will+动词原形,as soon as所在句子是从句,所以用一般现在时,主语是单数he,所以get用单三式gets;主句用will call,故填will call;gets to。
42. 幸运的是,这场大火被及时扑灭了。
Luckily, the fire was ________ ________ in time.
【答案】 ①. put ②. out

句意:然后我被小心翼翼地用纸包起来,就像我这里的所有朋友一样。这里需要用副词来修饰动词“packed up”,而“carefully”是副词形式,表示“小心翼翼地”。故填carefully。
【50题详解】
句意:很快,Bear也被一位年轻的女士带走了。这里描述的是“被带走”,且是一个过去发生的动作,主语“Bear”是第三人称单数形式,所以需要was done构成一般过去时的被动语态。故填was taken。
【51题详解】
句意:但我认为有一个更深层次的原因。much修饰比较级,故填deeper。
【52题详解】
句意:但每次她把我抱在怀里时,她的脸上都会绽放出笑容。in one’s arms“抱在怀里”,故填in。

【答案】例文
My School Rules
My school has many rules. We have to wear school uniforms every day. We can’t be late for school. In class, we must listen to the teachers carefully and can’t talk with each other. We can’t eat in the classroom. After class, we should clean our classrooms and keep them clean.
I think most of these rules are good for us. They help us keep order and study better. But some rules are too strict. For example, we can’t use mobile phones at school. Sometimes we need to use them to look up information.
I hope the school can change this rule. Maybe we can use mobile phones during breaks. It will be more convenient for us. And I also hope we can have more free time to do what we like after class.

阅读理解
Pan Gu, the god of creation (创世), is believed to be the first living thing to have come forth from the egg of chaos. Four others followed—a dragon, a qilin (Chinese Unicorn), a tortoise, and a feng huang (phoenix). These four are called the Four Spirits (神灵) who guard the world in four directions. They joined with Pan Gu to create the universe (宇宙) we now know.
Dragons are powerful and benevolent (仁慈的) symbols in Chinese culture. Dragons can control (操控) water, e.g. summoning (召唤) rain during the dry weather. Dragons are everywhere in China—in legends, festivals, zodiac (生肖), art, names, and idioms. You can always find dragon elements whenever you are learning about Chinese culture.
In early ancient (古代的) times, Feng Huang referred (指代) not to one bird, but two. Feng was a male bird, while Huang was a female. Together, they were a representation (代表) of the solemn (庄严) relationship between man and woman. Later, feng and huang were combined into (合并成) a single female bird and often paired with a male dragon. This is the Chinese phoenix most commonly recognized today.
The qilin is a mythical beast (神兽) that symbolizes good luck and prosperity (繁荣). According to tradition in China, a qilin would appear to signal the birth or death of a benevolent ruler or sage (圣人) scholar. Because of its association (联系) with good luck, and its peaceful, vegetarian nature, the qilin is sometimes called the “Chinese unicorn”.
In Chinese culture, the tortoise holds a position of great significance as one of the four celestial (天体) animals. It embodies (包含) attributes of longevity (长寿), power, and tenacity (坚韧), symbolizing the cosmic forces that shape the universe. The protective dome-like shell represents (代表) the sky while the flat body represents the surface of the earth as we know it.
16. The materials above all have something to do with (与……有关) ________.
A. Chinese traditional culture B. Pan Gu’s creating our nature
C. these animals in the world D. Chinese festivals and science
17. In ancient stories, if it was very dry somewhere, which Spirit would help?
A. The Tortoise. B. The Phoenix.
C. The Chinese Unicorn. D. The Dragon.
18. What did Feng and Huang represent in early ancient times?
A. Only one bird. B. Man and woman.
C. Phoenix and dragon. D. Ruler and scholar.
19. The qilin is sometimes called the “Chinese unicorn” because it symbolizes ________.
A. the cosmic forces that shape the universe
B. the control of water and summoning rain
C. good luck, peaceful and vegetarian nature
D. a representation of a solemn relationship
20. People think tortoise is a symbol of ________.
A. power, benevolence and water
B. longevity, power, and tenacity
C. good luck, prosperity and peace
D. female bird and male dragon
I have a neighbor we call “Happy”. I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a harsh (苛刻) word to anyone or about anyone.
Happy and her husband Ben, 70, have a huge garden. They spent many happy hours together working on it. Most of the neighbors watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden. As the cost of food climbed faster than Ben’s beans, we all wished we also had such a large garden. As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market, Happy could be seen picking beans in her back yard.
Last month, Happy and Ben invited most of the neighborhood over for an “all-day food fest”. We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning. We didn’t know what was about to take place.
By 9:00 am, there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans, okra, and squash. By 10:00 am, there was lots of laughter. We shared a lot of stories. By five o’clock, everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer. After dinner, we played games. As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty (收成) of the day, already packaged and frozen. What a delightful gift!
Well, the point wasn’t so much about the food. The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another’s company. None of it would have happened if it had been for Happy and Ben’s garden. Now they have a blog about gardening in case we decided to plant a garden. And I am so proud of my tomato plants!
21. According to paragraph 2, people wish they also had a garden so that _______.
A. they didn’t have to spend so much money on food
B. they could grow vegetables and sell at the market
C. they could invite their neighbors and hold parties in it
D. they could spend happy times together with their family in it
22. For what purpose did Happy and Ben invite the neighbors to their garden?
A. To ask them to attend a birthday party.
B. To help them get to know each other.
C. To let them enjoy what they grew in the garden.
D. To ask them to share some interesting stories.
23. What did the writer most probably think of the time he spent in the garden?
A. It was too long. B. It was wonderful.
C. It was not as good as he thought. D. It was too terrible.
I have always been fascinated by the animal world. Recently, I read a novel about animals called A Lion’s Traveling. Chinese writer Shen Shixi wrote it.
The book tells the story of five male lions. They are driven out of their home and begin their adventure. Unluckily, one is hurt by a giraffe. Another is killed by a hunter. The third one dies during a fight for water with a rhino (犀牛). The fourth lion drowns (淹死), named Red Ribbon (红飘带), is still alive. After going through many difficulties
The story shows the love and care between friends, the life and death faced by brothers, the determination (决心), and the passion for life. The fact that the young lion finally becomes the king teaches me a great lesson: Those who cannot beat you will make you stronger. Everyone will face lots of difficulties during their lifetime. We should learn to stay strong and continue to find our best selves.
The book is filled with exciting details about the lives of lions. Together with vivid pictures, it gives readers an impressive experience. You can not only read the great story but also learn a lot about the animals in the real world. I highly suggest reading it!
24. What is A Lion’s Traveling mainly about?
A. How to be a lion king.
B. The fights among wild lions.
C. How to live in the wild.
D The adventures of five lions.
25 What can we learn from the story?
A. We should defeat people challenging us.
B. Good luck is the key to being successful.
C. Good friends are the treasures of our life.
D. Nothing can stop us being our best selves.
26. Why does the writer suggest this book?
A. Because it offers a good reading experience.
B. Because it tells people how to protect animals.
C. Because it has pictures drawn by great painters.
D. Because it comes from a real-life story in Africa.
27. In which part of magazine can we probably read the text?
A. Star Stories.
B. Happy Hours.
C. Science Study.
D. Reading Advice.
