It gets its name from the yellow mud (泥土) it carries from the Loess Plateau (黄土高原). This rich mud is perfect for farming. For many years, Chinese farmers grew crops like rice and wheat along its banks. Early Chinese emperors even built their capitals near the river. That’s why it’s called the “cradle of Chinese civilization (文明的摇篮)”. But the Yellow River is also called “China’s Big Problem”. Why? Its floods (洪水) once destroyed villages and crops. That was the biggest challenge for ancient people. To control the river, ancient people built walls along its sides. Later, modern dams like the Xiaolangdi Dam (小浪底大坝) helped stop floods. Today, the river faces new challenges: pollution and water shortages. Millions of people need its water to drink and farm. Taking good care of this river is key to China’s future. 24.

B. Ancient people built it to help stop floods. C. It once destroyed villages and crops. D. It is called “China’s Big Problem”. 27. What’s the best title for the passage? A. The Longest River—the Yangtze River in China B. The Yellow River: China’s Mother River and Its Challenges C. How Dams Stopped Floods in Ancient China D. The Meaning of Water in Chinese Farming 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27.

You’re planning to go to the library, but don’t know what kind of books to get. With the right knowledge, it’s easy to choose a good book! Let me tell you how to choose a good book. First, answer these questions. What writers do you like? Search books by the writers you’ve enjoyed, and you can get more books of the same kind. What are your interests? Type your hobbies into your library catalogue (目录) search. By doing this, you will find books that you might like. Is there a kind of book you would like to try? If there is, search the book and read the summary. This will help you decide if the book is right for you. Next, search your house. Often good books are quietly collecting dirt in your own house. Maybe you forget about one, or someone who is living with you has some good books. Also by searching your house, you can find some books that you can read, and they won’t even cost you any money. Then join a book club, please. Being a book club member is often a way to experience new books with other members. Joining a book club or setting up a book club helps you know who else likes the same books as you, and you can read books that others have read and discuss them. Finally, read the first part of each book. Of course, if you have many books, you have to spend much time looking for a proper one to read. This can be time-consuming. Reading the first part of a book can help you save time and know what kinds of books that you like, and you won’t have a hard time searching for books again. 28. This passage is mainly to tell you ________. A. how to read B. how to keep hobbies C how to choose a good book D. how to choose a club 29. What is the meaning of the underlined word in the last paragraph? A. 耗时的 B. 随时的 C. 临时的 D. 准时的 30. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了如何选择一本好书。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Let me tell you how to choose a good book.”以及全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了如何选择一本好书的方法。故选C。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Of course, if you have many books, you have to spend much time looking for a proper one to read. This can be time-consuming.”可知，如果你有很多书，你得花很多时间去找一本合适的书来读，这会很“耗时”，所以time-consuming意为“耗时的”。故选A。 【30题详解】 篇章结构题。文章第一段总述要介绍如何选择一本好书；第二、三、四和五段介绍四个方法。所以文章是总分结构。故选A。 第二节： 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Lots of my friends say that they are unhappy about their parents being over-controlling (过度控制的).

There are more than 500,000 pieces in its collections. Some of them are meaningful symbols to show the history of Shanxi. Here are its most famous treasures: 1. Jin Hou Bird Vessel (晋侯鸟尊) It is 39 cm tall, 30.5 cm long, and 17.5 cm wide. It has a history of about 3,000 years. People found it in Linfen. It looks like a phoenix (凤凰) turning its head to look at a little bird on its back, with an elephant hidden under its tail. It’s the symbol of Shanxi Museum and it is a national treasure and cannot be shown overseas. 2. Jade Pendant Set of Jin Marquise (晋侯夫人玉组佩) It is a 2-meter-long necklace worn by a queen during the Zhou Dynasty. The jade pendant shows not only her wealth but also her love for jade. Its historical and cultural meaning makes it a must-see for visitors to the museum. 3. Houma Covenant Texts (侯马盟书) They are actually ancient promises made 2500 years ago, which are China’s oldest handwritten records to show how people made deals a long time ago. People made promises in this way in the past. They wrote down the promises in blood-red ink on over 5000 jade pieces. 4. Stone Coffin of Yu Hong (虞弘墓石椁) It is a white marble coffin (汉白玉石棺）discovered in 1999 in Taiyuan, Shanxi. It is covered with 54 colorful carvings (浮雕) showing parties, music, hunting and travel scenes. And the people in carvings have deep eyes and high noses. That means ancient China welcomed foreign cultures. This stone coffin is just like an ancient comic book, telling people how different cultures mixed 1400 years ago. This museum is like a time machine—each treasure tells the secrets of ancient kings, artists, and even international friendships! It’s a great place to visit. 56.

Jin Hou Bird Vessel... 2. Jade Pendant Set of Jin Marquise... 3. Houma Covenant Texts... 4. Stone Coffin of Yu Hong”可知，短文依次介绍了山西博物院的4件珍贵文物。故填four/4。 【57题详解】 根据“Jin Hou Bird Vessel (晋侯鸟尊)... It looks like a phoenix (凤凰) turning its head to look at a little bird on its back, with an elephant hidden under its tail”可知，从晋侯鸟尊上能看到凤凰、小鸟和大象。故填elephant。 【58题详解】 根据“Houma Covenant Texts (侯马盟书)... They are actually ancient promises made 2500 years ago... They wrote down the promises in blood-red ink on over 5000 jade pieces”可知，前文先介绍“侯马盟书是2500年前的古老承诺”，后文“they”承接前文，指代的是“侯马盟书”。故填Houma Covenant Texts。 【59题详解】 根据“Stone Coffin of Yu Hong (虞弘墓石椁)...

A science magazine B The Yellow River, known as China’s “Mother River”, is over 5,400 kilometers starting from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (青藏高原) to the Bohai Sea. It gets its name from the yellow mud (泥土) it carries from the Loess Plateau (黄土高原). This rich mud is perfect for farming. For many years, Chinese farmers grew crops like rice and wheat along its banks. Early Chinese emperors even built their capitals near the river. That’s why it’s called the “cradle of Chinese civilization (文明的摇篮)”. But the Yellow River is also called “China’s Big Problem”. Why? Its floods (洪水) once destroyed villages and crops. That was the biggest challenge for ancient people. To control the river, ancient people built walls along its sides. Later, modern dams like the Xiaolangdi Dam (小浪底大坝) helped stop floods. Today, the river faces new challenges: pollution and water shortages. Millions of people need its water to drink and farm. Taking good care of this river is key to China’s future. 24. Where does the Yellow River start? A. The Bohai Sea. B. The Loess Plateau. C. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. D. Farmlands in Henan. 25. Why is the Yellow River called the “cradle of Chinese civilization”? A. Because it helped build factories. B. Because early Chinese emperors built their capitals near it. C. Because it provides drinking water for millions of people. D. Because people can go swimming in it. 26. Which is true about the Xiaolangdi Dam? A. People in modern times built it to help stop floods. B. Ancient people built it to help stop floods. C. It once destroyed villages and crops. D. It is called “China’s Big Problem”. 27. What’s the best title for the passage? A. The Longest River—the Yangtze River in China B. The Yellow River: China’s Mother River and Its Challenges C. How Dams Stopped Floods in Ancient China D. The Meaning of Water in Chinese Farming C You love reading, but you’ve read all your books four times, and are tired of reading the same ones. You’re planning to go to the library, but don’t know what kind of books to get. With the right knowledge, it’s easy to choose a good book! Let me tell you how to choose a good book. First, answer these questions. What writers do you like? Search books by the writers you’ve enjoyed, and you can get more books of the same kind. What are your interests? Type your hobbies into your library catalogue (目录) search. By doing this, you will find books that you might like. Is there a kind of book you would like to try? If there is, search the book and read the summary. This will help you decide if the book is right for you. Next, search your house. Often good books are quietly collecting dirt in your own house. Maybe you forget about one, or someone who is living with you has some good books. Also by searching your house, you can find some books that you can read, and they won’t even cost you any money. Then join a book club, please. Being a book club member is often a way to experience new books with other members. Joining a book club or setting up a book club helps you know who else likes the same books as you, and you can read books that others have read and discuss them. Finally, read the first part of each book. Of course, if you have many books, you have to spend much time looking for a proper one to read. This can be time-consuming. Reading the first part of a book can help you save time and know what kinds of books that you like, and you won’t have a hard time searching for books again. 28. This passage is mainly to tell you ________. A. how to read B. how to keep hobbies C. how to choose a good book D. how to choose a club 29. What is the meaning of the underlined word in the last paragraph? A. 耗时的 B. 随时的 C. 临时的 D. 准时的 30. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 第二节： 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Lots of my friends say that they are unhappy about their parents being over-controlling (过度控制的).
