Leaving the White Emperor Town at DawnBy Li Bai
Leaving at dawn the White Emperor crowned with cloud;
I’ve sailed a thousand miles through Gorges in a day.
With monkeys’ sad adieux the riverbanks are loud;
My skiff has left ten thousand mountains faraway.
Leaving the White Emperor Town at Dawn was a seven-character poem written by Li Bai, a famous poet (诗人) of the Tang Dynasty. In 759 AD, Li Bai got into some trouble in politics (政治), getting banished (放逐) by the Emperor Xuanzong, to Yelang (in today’s western Guizhou Province). When he stopped shortly on his way at Baidicheng, news came that the emperor had freed him.
Excited and eager, he felt like he made it back home, to Jiangling, in just one day.
In many poems, poets showed their feelings through a special view. Leaving the White Emperor Town at Dawn was about a journey taken by boat. It didn’t tell joy directly, but readers can feel the poet’s joy through his writing.
The second line compared (比较) a short period of time (“a day”) and a long distance (“a thousand miles”), telling us how fast the boat was moving. But the rapid (湍急的) water didn’t make the poet afraid. Instead, he was excited as the water was helping him quickly reach his destination (目的地).
The last line was about a journey, by boat, through ten thousand mountains. If you took this journey, you’d be quite bored. But, on the way home, Li Bai felt the journey passed in the blink of an eye.
In ancient Chinese poems, the singing of monkeys usually stood for sadness, and mountains represented difficulties. However, the poet was not sad about these things because he was able to quickly leave them behind. His hope for the future keep him happy.
26.Which word rhymes with “loud”in the poem?
A.Day. B.Cloud. C.Faraway. D.Dawn.
27.According to the poem, how did Li Bai feel?
A.Afraid. B.Surprised. C.Happy. D.Sad.
28.What can we know from the underlined sentence “Li Bai felt the journey passed in the blink of an eye”?
A.Li Bai felt the journey was very slow. B.Li Bai felt the journey was very boring.
C.Li Bai felt the journey was very fast. D.Li Bai felt the journey was very exciting.
29.According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A.The poem was a five-character poem by Li Bai.
B.Many poets liked to show their family through special views.
C.In many Chinese poems, mountains stood for sadness.
D.Li Bai looked forward to getting home as soon as possible.

Now it’s the holidays. Hopefully, life is slowing down. It’s the perfect time to learn the art of taking things slow.
Most people are in a rush nearly all the time. This rushing has a name “hurry sickness”. People with hurry sickness often feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day to complete everything. They might get angry when they find themselves trapped in traffic or try to do too many things at once, like eating while getting dressed or watching television while working. Rushing often leads to mistakes and then it takes even more time to fix them in the long run. Hurry sickness can make people feel tired and unhappy.
“There’s so much we miss when we rush,” says Amy Arthur. “Slowing down helps us see more.” Slowing down helps us enjoy things more. It can even make you a better friend because you can take your time to notice how others are feeling. Studies show slowing down helps us think clearly and find new ideas to work out problems.
It’s not always easy to slow down when you have lots to do. If this happens, Arthur recommends giving yourself plenty of time for each task. Try to notice if you start rushing and ask yourself why you need to. Taking short breaks to have a rest. When life is busy, listening to calm music or finding a quiet corner and reading a book help you to take time out and recharge (再充电) your mind.
30.How does the writer introduce “hurry sickness” in the second paragraph?
A.By telling stories. B.By listing numbers.
C.By asking questions. D.By giving examples.
31.According to the passage, how does slowing down help us?
A.It makes us see and hear things far away.
B.It teaches us how to prevent busy traffic.
C.It fixes mistakes when we take life faster.
D.It helps us find new ways to work out problems.
32.What does Amy Arthur recommend to prevent rushing?
A.Taking a break before doing the tasks. B.Asking others to do the tasks with you.
C.Doing everything as quickly as possible. D.Giving yourself enough time for each task.
33.What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To give tips on how to enjoy the free time better.
B.To share ideas about how to complete more tasks.
C.To advise people to slow down and enjoy the life.
D.To question those who enjoy a slow living lifestyle.

For the last three years, a man in India has been living a real-life daily nightmare (噩梦). Every time he walks out of his house, he gets attacked(攻击)by a group of crows(乌鸦). The strange thing is that the birds only attack him.
Shiva Kewat, a factory worker, says his troubles with crows began three years ago because of a misunderstanding. One day, he noticed a baby crow trapped in iron net(铁网)as he was walking on the street. He did everything he could to help the small bird get away, but it died in his hands. Some of the crows must have seen the scene(场景)and thought that he killed their young. And that’s why they keep attacking him after that.
“It died in my hands. If only I could tell them the fact, I was only trying to help.” Shiva Kewat told the newspaper. “I just wave(挥动)the stick around to shoo them off. Poor things, they believe I killed their child.”
Kewat said that he didn’t really take the crows’ attacks seriously until he found that he was the only one they attacked, no one else had a problem with them. And as word of his troubles with the black birds spread (传播)in and around the village, people started coming to his house every day just to see if he would get attacked. Some find it funny, while others describe it as “sudden and frightening.”
34.What is the correct order of this story?
①A large group of crows attacked Shiva Kewat.
②Shiva Kewat used the stick to shoo the crows off.
③Shiva Kewat tried to help a little crow in iron net.
④The crows saw the little crow died in Shiva Kewat’s hands.
⑤People around the village came to Shiva Kewat’s house.
A.①③②④⑤ B.①④②③⑤ C.③④②①⑤ D.③④①②⑤
35.What does the underlined phrase “shoo them off” in the third paragraph mean?
A.drive them away B.kill them C.get them closer D.catch them
36.What is the main idea of this passage?
A.Crows attacked an Indian hunter. B.Crows are dangerous to humans.

四、还原信息(共4小题;每小题1.5分,满分6分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Many of us have read the poem by Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu, where he describes the beautiful scene of late autumn: “ 37 ”
While enjoying nature’s beauty, we should not forget the important role frost plays in painting this picture. Red leaves are often at their best after Frost’s Descent (霜降). It falls on October 23 this year.
Frost’s Descent means that daytime and nighttime temperatures are different greatly. People think winter is coming soon. 38 It happens when ground temperatures drop below freezing. You may notice frost on your way to school in the morning.
39 It is also a time for seasonal fruits such as persimmons (柿子). After a few frosts, they develop a natural sweetness and give us great joy. In Daxin, Guangxi, people celebrate the Frost’s Descent Festival. At first, it was a tradition for the Zhuang people to give thanks to nature and celebrate the harvest. 40 On that day, the Zhuang people offer sacrifices (祭品), dance and sing local songs.
A.Frost is a sign of the winter.
B.Each season has its own different beauty.
C.Later, it became an activity to remember heroes.
D.However, frost is not just about a drop in temperature.
E.The frost-covered leaves are redder than the flowers of February.
F.Suddenly like a night of spring wind, thousands of trees and pear blossoms.

I wanted to lend him a hand but I was in a hurry to go home. So I went on. Suddenly, I saw him falling on the ground. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him.
So, I jogged over to him when he crawled around looking for his glasses. “Hey, thanks!” he said as I handed him his glasses. There was a big smile on his face.
I learned our homes were not far away from each other. So we went home together. From then on, I often invited him to play football together with my friends on Saturday and he made a very good impression on my friends and me. And then Kyle and I became the best friends.
Several years later, Kyle told me that he was asked to speak on graduation (毕业) day. In his speech, he said,“ The graduation is the best moment to express our gratitude (感激) for those who helped us. I would like to thank my best friend.”
Then, he began to talk about how we had known each other. My eyes widened in surprise. Until that moment I knew that day many years ago, he planned to leave the school because he didn’t have any friends at school and felt very lonely. He said he had carried all his books home, so that he didn’t need to come back to school. Having said that, he looked at me with a smile on his face and went on, “However, I was so lucky that I had a friend from that day on.”

Leaving the White Emperor Town at DawnBy Li Bai
Leaving at dawn the White Emperor crowned with cloud;
I’ve sailed a thousand miles through Gorges in a day.
With monkeys’ sad adieux the riverbanks are loud;
My skiff has left ten thousand mountains faraway.
Leaving the White Emperor Town at Dawn was a seven-character poem written by Li Bai, a famous poet (诗人) of the Tang Dynasty. In 759 AD, Li Bai got into some trouble in politics (政治), getting banished (放逐) by the Emperor Xuanzong, to Yelang (in today’s western Guizhou Province). When he stopped shortly on his way at Baidicheng, news came that the emperor had freed him.
Excited and eager, he felt like he made it back home, to Jiangling, in just one day.
In many poems, poets showed their feelings through a special view. Leaving the White Emperor Town at Dawn was about a journey taken by boat. It didn’t tell joy directly, but readers can feel the poet’s joy through his writing.
The second line compared (比较) a short period of time (“a day”) and a long distance (“a thousand miles”), telling us how fast the boat was moving. But the rapid (湍急的) water didn’t make the poet afraid. Instead, he was excited as the water was helping him quickly reach his destination (目的地).
The last line was about a journey, by boat, through ten thousand mountains. If you took this journey, you’d be quite bored. But, on the way home, Li Bai felt the journey passed in the blink of an eye.
In ancient Chinese poems, the singing of monkeys usually stood for sadness, and mountains represented difficulties. However, the poet was not sad about these things because he was able to quickly leave them behind. His hope for the future keep him happy.
26.Which word rhymes with “loud”in the poem?
A.Day. B.Cloud. C.Faraway. D.Dawn.
27.According to the poem, how did Li Bai feel?
A.Afraid. B.Surprised. C.Happy. D.Sad.
28.What can we know from the underlined sentence “Li Bai felt the journey passed in the blink of an eye”?
A.Li Bai felt the journey was very slow. B.Li Bai felt the journey was very boring.
C.Li Bai felt the journey was very fast. D.Li Bai felt the journey was very exciting.

B.Many poets liked to show their family through special views.
C.In many Chinese poems, mountains stood for sadness.

Now it’s the holidays. Hopefully, life is slowing down. It’s the perfect time to learn the art of taking things slow.
Most people are in a rush nearly all the time. This rushing has a name “hurry sickness”. People with hurry sickness often feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day to complete everything. They might get angry when they find themselves trapped in traffic or try to do too many things at once, like eating while getting dressed or watching television while working. Rushing often leads to mistakes and then it takes even more time to fix them in the long run. Hurry sickness can make people feel tired and unhappy.
“There’s so much we miss when we rush,” says Amy Arthur. “Slowing down helps us see more.” Slowing down helps us enjoy things more. It can even make you a better friend because you can take your time to notice how others are feeling. Studies show slowing down helps us think clearly and find new ideas to work out problems.
It’s not always easy to slow down when you have lots to do. If this happens, Arthur recommends giving yourself plenty of time for each task. Try to notice if you start rushing and ask yourself why you need to. Taking short breaks to have a rest. When life is busy, listening to calm music or finding a quiet corner and reading a book help you to take time out and recharge (再充电) your mind.
30.How does the writer introduce “hurry sickness” in the second paragraph?
A.By telling stories. B.By listing numbers.
C.By asking questions. D.By giving examples.
31.According to the passage, how does slowing down help us?
A.It makes us see and hear things far away.
B.It teaches us how to prevent busy traffic.
C.It fixes mistakes when we take life faster.
D.It helps us find new ways to work out problems.
32.What does Amy Arthur recommend to prevent rushing?
A.Taking a break before doing the tasks. B.Asking others to do the tasks with you.
C.Doing everything as quickly as possible. D.Giving yourself enough time for each task.
33.What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To give tips on how to enjoy the free time better.
B.To share ideas about how to complete more tasks.
C.To advise people to slow down and enjoy the life.
D.To question those who enjoy a slow living lifestyle.

For the last three years, a man in India has been living a real-life daily nightmare (噩梦). Every time he walks out of his house, he gets attacked(攻击)by a group of crows(乌鸦). The strange thing is that the birds only attack him.
Shiva Kewat, a factory worker, says his troubles with crows began three years ago because of a misunderstanding. One day, he noticed a baby crow trapped in iron net(铁网)as he was walking on the street. He did everything he could to help the small bird get away, but it died in his hands. Some of the crows must have seen the scene(场景)and thought that he killed their young. And that’s why they keep attacking him after that.
“It died in my hands. If only I could tell them the fact, I was only trying to help.” Shiva Kewat told the newspaper. “I just wave(挥动)the stick around to shoo them off. Poor things, they believe I killed their child.”
Kewat said that he didn’t really take the crows’ attacks seriously until he found that he was the only one they attacked, no one else had a problem with them. And as word of his troubles with the black birds spread (传播)in and around the village, people started coming to his house every day just to see if he would get attacked. Some find it funny, while others describe it as “sudden and frightening.”
34.What is the correct order of this story?

④The crows saw the little crow died in Shiva Kewat’s hands.
⑤People around the village came to Shiva Kewat’s house.

36.What is the main idea of this passage?

And that’s why they keep attacking him after that.”可知,③希瓦•科瓦特试图帮助一只困在铁网中的小乌鸦。是第一件事;④乌鸦们看到小乌鸦死在希瓦•科瓦特的手里。是第二件事;①一大群乌鸦袭击希瓦•科瓦特。是第三件事;根据“I just wave(挥动)the stick around to shoo them off.”可知,②希瓦•科瓦特用棍子驱赶乌鸦。是第四件事;根据“people started coming to his house every day just to see if he would get attacked.”可知,⑤村子周围的人们来到希瓦•科瓦特的家。是第五件事。故选D。

Many of us have read the poem by Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu, where he describes the beautiful scene of late autumn: “ 37 ”
While enjoying nature’s beauty, we should not forget the important role frost plays in painting this picture. Red leaves are often at their best after Frost’s Descent (霜降). It falls on October 23 this year.
Frost’s Descent means that daytime and nighttime temperatures are different greatly. People think winter is coming soon. 38 It happens when ground temperatures drop below freezing. You may notice frost on your way to school in the morning.
39 It is also a time for seasonal fruits such as persimmons (柿子). After a few frosts, they develop a natural sweetness and give us great joy. In Daxin, Guangxi, people celebrate the Frost’s Descent Festival.

A.Frost is a sign of the winter.
B.Each season has its own different beauty.
C.Later, it became an activity to remember heroes.

阅读下面短文,回答短文后问题。(前3题每题答案不超过10个词)。
One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a boy from my class, named Kyle, who was walking home from school, carrying all of his books. I wanted to lend him a hand but I was in a hurry to go home. So I went on. Suddenly, I saw him falling on the ground. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him.
So, I jogged over to him when he crawled around looking for his glasses. “Hey, thanks!” he said as I handed him his glasses. There was a big smile on his face.
I learned our homes were not far away from each other. So we went home together. From then on, I often invited him to play football together with my friends on Saturday and he made a very good impression on my friends and me. And then Kyle and I became the best friends.
Several years later, Kyle told me that he was asked to speak on graduation (毕业) day. In his speech, he said,“ The graduation is the best moment to express our gratitude (感激) for those who helped us. I would like to thank my best friend.”
Then, he began to talk about how we had known each other. My eyes widened in surprise. Until that moment I knew that day many years ago, he planned to leave the school because he didn’t have any friends at school and felt very lonely. He said he had carried all his books home, so that he didn’t need to come back to school. Having said that, he looked at me with a smile on his face and went on, “However, I was so lucky that I had a friend from that day on.”
41.Why didn’t the writer help Kyle carry the books at first?
42.What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph l refer to (指代)?

【导语】本文主要讲述了作者无意中帮助了Kyle,他们成为了最好的朋友,后来在Kyle的毕业典礼上,Kyle非常感激作者,作者才意识到一个小的举动改变了一个人的命运。
41.根据“I wanted to lend him a hand but I was in a hurry to go home. So I went on.”可知,作者一开始没有帮助凯尔拿书是因为他急于回家。故填Because he was in a hurry to go home.
42.根据“His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him.”可知,第一段中划线的单词“them”指的是Kyle的眼镜。故填(Kyle’s) glasses.
43.根据“He said he had carried all his books home, so that he didn’t need to come back to school.”可知,凯尔那天把所有的书都带回家是因为他计划离开学校,不再回来。故填Because he planned to leave the school./ Because he didn’t want to go back to school.
44.开放性作答,结合实际,言之有理即可。参考答案为:A small action may have a big help to others.
六、综合填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Once upon a time, there lived a wise man. But his son always wasted his time doing something 45 (mean). As the wise man grew much 46 (old), he began to worry about his son’s future.
One day, the man said, “My son, you have grown up. I want you to find the real purpose of your life.” Then he handed his son a bag filled with clothes and food. The wise man continued, “I hid the treasure someplace. Here is a map. Go to find it.”
The next day, the son excitedly set off. 47 many people’s help, he 48 (final) reached his destination (目的地), but he found nothing. He was so tired that he decided to return.
On his way back, he often stopped to enjoy the beautiful flowers and watch the sunset. He learned to cook meals and wash clothes by 49 (he). He also learned how to protect himself from wild animals. He met the same people who had helped him earlier. This time he helped them in return.
Two years later, he got home. He said to his father, “Dad, excuse me for not finding the treasure.”
“It doesn’t matter. How 50 (be) your journey?”
“At first, I was worried somebody else would find the treasure. So I hurried to the place.” The son continued (继续). “ 51 I really enjoyed the journey on my way home. I made friends and saw wonders 52 (happen) every day. I also learned different 53 (skill). These made me 54 (forget) the pain (痛苦) of not finding the treasure.”

【答案】45.meaningless 46.older 47.With 48.finally 49.himself 50.was 51.But 52.happen 53.skills 54.forget
【导语】本文讲了智者之子不务正业,父亲让他寻宝,儿子历经艰辛,却无所得,却在旅程中收获成长,最终明白真谛。
45.句意:但他的儿子总是把时间浪费在无意义的事情上。根据“doing something”可知,此处填形容词作后置定语修饰复合不定代词;根据“wasted his time”可知,此处指“做无意义的事”,mean的形容词形式meaningless“无意义”的符合句意。故填meaningless。
46.句意:随着智者年龄的增长,他开始担心儿子的未来。根据“grew”可知,此处填形容词作表语;“much”修饰形容词比较级,old的比较级为older。故填older。
47.句意:在许多人的帮助下,他终于到达了目的地,但他什么也没找到。根据“many people’s help”可知,考查with one’s help“在某人的帮助下”,句首单词首字母大写,故填With。
48.句意:在许多人的帮助下,他终于到达了目的地,但他什么也没找到。根据“he ... reached his destination”可知,此处填副词修饰动词,final的副词形式为finally。故填finally。
49.句意:他学会了自己做饭和洗衣服。根据“He learned to cook meals and wash clothes by”可知,考查by oneself“靠某人自己”,he对应的反身代词为himself。故填himself。
50.句意:“没关系。你的旅途怎么样?”根据“Two years later, he got home.”可知,旅行是过去发生的事情,所以用一般过去时,主语为“your journey”,所以be动词填was。故填was。
51.句意:但我真的很喜欢回家的路上。根据“So I hurried to the place.”及“I really enjoyed the journey on my way home.”可知,前后两句为转折关系,所以填but,句首单词首字母大写,故填But。
52.句意:我结交了朋友,每天都看到奇迹发生。根据“saw wonders ... every day”可知,考查see sth. do sth.“看见某物做了某事”,所以填动词原形。故填happen。
53.句意:我也学到了不同的技能。根据“different”可知,此处填名词复数形式,skill的复数形式为skills。故填skills。
54.句意:这些使我忘记了找不到宝藏的痛苦。根据“These made me”可知,考查make sb. do sth.“让某人做某事”,所以填动词原形。故填forget。
