When my friend first suggested that we join the new Tai Chi Club at school, I said without thinking twice, “No. Tai Chi is for grandparents.” But after the first few classes, I learned how wrong I was—it was amazing!
The first few Tai Chi classes were fun and easy, and the moves really caught my imagination (想象), with creative names like “White Crane Spreading Its Wings” and “Golden Rooster Standing On One Leg”. When I asked my coach where these interesting names came from, he told me the history of Tai Chi. Zhang Sanfeng, a 13th-century Taoist (道家), first got the idea of Tai Chi moves after watching a fight between a bird and a snake. About four hundred years later, Chen Wangting developed Tai Chi according to kungfu moves. Some of these kungfu moves copied animal actions (动作). That’s why some Tai Chi moves are named after animals.
However, after a few weeks, I grew bored and ached from making the same moves again and again. Luckily, my coach was kind. He taught me how to relax my muscles (肌肉) and pay attention to the peace of mind. Slowly, I improved and even learned harder moves. My coach said Tai Chi balanced (平衡) yin and yang through slow, opposite actions: up and down, left and right, forward and backward. This brought both balance in the body and calmness in mind. My love for Tai Chi grew stronger than ever.
Thanks to a year of practice, great changes have taken place in myself. I sleep better and feel more active, even though I am busy with study. Tai Chi has made me happier and more confident when I face problems. I’ll certainly keep practising—it’s a lifelong gift!
5. Why did the writer say no to the Tai Chi Club at first?
A. Because he thought Tai Chi was for the old.
B. Because he didn’t know how to play Tai Chi.
C. Because playing Tai Chi was too hard for him.
D. Because playing Tai Chi was too slow and soft.
6. What has the writer learned in the Tai Chi Club?
A. Tai Chi is famous because of its interesting names.
B. Zhang Sanfeng developed fun and easy Tai Chi moves.
C. The balance of yin and yang relaxes the body and the mind.
D. Chen Wangting watched a fight between a bird and a snake.
7. How did the writer’s love for learning Tai Chi change?

阅读下面短文,从所给的A、B、C、D中选出最佳答案并回答问题
A simple exclamation mark (感叹号) can greatly change a sentence’s meaning. Look at this example: “Duck.” (Maybe someone sees a bird.) and “Duck!” (Someone’s warning you to move!). This small mark “!” carries a strong feeling behind the word itself.
The exclamation mark first appeared in writing and is believed to come from the Latin word “io”, which means “joy”.
▲
First of all, people use it to show different feelings such as excitement, anger, or joy clearly and strongly. For example, in the sentence “I can’t believe we won!”, you can tell how excited the speaker is. When you read the sentence “He did what?!”, you will surely think there must be something surprising happening. The writer just easily makes you interested. What’s more, in some sentences, exclamation marks improve friendly communication by adding warmth and enthusiasm (热情), such as “Happy birthday!” or “See you soon!”. Using exclamation marks can be an easy way to tell others how you feel without giving more words.
However, not all people agree with the tradition. The famous writer F. Scott Fitzgerald once said that exclamation marks are the same as “laughing at your own jokes”. They may even make the readers feel the writer is shouting at them. No one enjoys being shouted at. They might force (强迫) readers to feel a certain way. Readers don’t want to be told how to read. They want to be free to understand the words in their own ways. So a good writer should not take shortcuts (捷径). They can create feelings with just good words and sentences, no matter what kind of feeling it is.
So to “!” or not to “!”? Think twice before you use the mark.
9. How does the writer start the passage?
A. By telling a joke. B. By using numbers.
C. By asking a question. D. By giving an example.
10. Which of the following can be put into ▲ in the passage?
A. The use of exclamation marks has a long history.
B. People have different ideas on exclamation marks.
C. Exclamation marks are useful in different situations.
D. Problems may appear when people use exclamation marks.
11. What did F. Scott Fitzgerald want to tell us?
A. Using exclamation marks makes writings more friendly.
B. Good writers shouldn’t use exclamation marks too often.
C. Exclamation marks make readers laugh at writers’ jokes.
D. Readers should be free to understand exclamation marks.
12. How do you use exclamation marks? And give an example.

I arrived on a cold winter night, shaking and feeling tired. I searched for any kind of place to stay and found a small empty doghouse. Lying in it, I heard footsteps getting closer, but I was too sick to lift my head.
A family found me and stopped. Then I got wrapped (包裹) in a thick jacket, slowly and softly. A woman picked me up. She lowered her head, looking at me. I could see the worry and sadness in her eyes.
“Honey, dogs are everywhere in this area. We can’t save all of them.” said the man.
He was right. There were so many of us—homeless and forgotten.
The woman answered, “She can’t even stand up. How can we say no to such a poor little thing?”
The man thought for a moment. Finally, he agreed. They soon took me to a nearby animal hospital. I started to believe every dog has its day. But my body told a different story. My legs were broken and almost couldn’t move, my teeth were in bad condition, and my eyes became so cloudy that I could not see anything clearly. The animal doctor said I had heartworm (犬心虫病), and it was getting worse because of my age. He suggested letting me die naturally. “That will never happen,” the woman said.
After getting back home, she gave me a warm name—“Pretty Girl”—and cared for me like her own child, even making a soft bed for me in the safest corner of the living room. I ate real food, something I had never tasted. When I didn’t want to take medicine, she encouraged me and cheered me up.
Days went by, and now, look at me! I can run fast and jump high. My legs are strong and my eyes are bright. What a truly pretty girl! Every afternoon, I follow the family around the garden, watching over them. In the evening, my family always take me for a relaxing walk.
For me, winter nights are not cold anymore.

二、任务型阅读(共5小题,每题2分,满分10分)
阅读下列短文,完成填空(每空一词)。
Have you ever seen the sun go dark in the middle of the day? About every eighteen months, the moon completely covers the sun somewhere on the earth. This amazing phenomenon (现象) in the sky is called the total solar eclipse.
If you are a sky lover, how can you have a great eclipse-watching experience? First, you can check local news or visit https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/ to find out when and where an eclipse will start. Next, find a place where it is not cloudy. If needed, you may also travel to other places. More importantly, you must prepare a pair of eclipse glasses. They are paper glasses made with silver (银制的) eye pieces that are very dark. They will protect you from the harmful sunlight.
Here are some tips for a great eclipse-watching experience. Keep your eclipse glasses on whenever you can see the sun. When the moon completely covers the sun, it’s okay to take off the glasses. But when the sun is going to appear again, put the glasses back on. If you want to take photos of an eclipse, you must use a solar filter (太阳滤光器) for your camera. Don’t use your phone because it may stop working.
Eclipse-watching not only is exciting but also helps us learn more about the sun, the moon and the earth.

阅读下列短文,完成填空(每空一词)。
Have you ever seen the sun go dark in the middle of the day? About every eighteen months, the moon completely covers the sun somewhere on the earth. This amazing phenomenon (现象) in the sky is called the total solar eclipse.
If you are a sky lover, how can you have a great eclipse-watching experience? First, you can check local news or visit https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/ to find out when and where an eclipse will start. Next, find a place where it is not cloudy.

They will protect you from the harmful sunlight.
Here are some tips for a great eclipse-watching experience. Keep your eclipse glasses on whenever you can see the sun. When the moon completely covers the sun, it’s okay to take off the glasses.
