Why do I wish for anything, or do anything? Is there anything in my life that will not be destroyed by my death?” Like Leo Tolstoy, the famous Russian writer, many people ask these difficult questions. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer these difficult questions. As a young man, he thought people could achieve perfection if they tried hard enough. So he worked very hard to be the best in everything. He thought that he would find meaning and truth in success (成功). In the 1850s, Tolstoy wrote his first stories. He wrote about his life in the army (军队). He also told stories about his childhood. These works were published (出版) and Tolstoy became a well-known writer. He got the respect he always wanted. Many rich and smart men met and talked with Tolstoy. Some of them were writers like him. They talked a lot about faith (信仰) and the meaning of life. But soon Tolstoy realized that these men were not perfect. Now he knew they could not answer his questions about faith. So in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a different way to find the meaning of life. He opened a school for the children of his serfs—the people who worked on his land. These workers were very poor. He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the rich people he knew. Tolstoy learned a lot from his workers. He understood how they worked hard to support their families. He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning. So in 1862, Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs. The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy’s life. It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books—War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Many experts say that War and Peace is one of the greatest books ever written. In these books, Tolstoy believed humans should live a simple life and take care of their families. Tolstoy thought this would bring him happiness. Leo Tolstoy is still a very respected writer today. His faith and writings have influenced (影响) many people all over the world. 26.

A. ①⑤③②④ B. ⑤①③②④ C. ①⑤④②③ D. ⑤④①③② 27. Why did Tolstoy want to be the best in everything when he was young? A. To prepare for his books. B. To achieve perfection. C. To make a lot of money. D. To show his wisdom. 28. Tolstoy thought he would learn a lot from his workers because they were ________. A. poor B. honest C. friendly D. patient 29. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Leo Tolstoy: Living for writing. B. Leo Tolstoy: Influencing the world. C. Leo Tolstoy: Being the best in everything. D. Leo Tolstoy: Searching for the meaning of life. 【答案】26. C 27. B 28. B 29. D 【解析】本文主要讲述了列夫·托尔斯泰一生探寻生命意义的历程，包括他不同人生阶段的相关经历与思考。 26. 细节理解题。根据“In the 1850s, Tolstoy wrote his first stories. He wrote about his life in the army (军队).”可知，首先是在军队服役，即①；根据“These works were published (出版) and Tolstoy became a well-known writer.”可知，然后是成为一名著名作家，即⑤；根据“So in the 1860s, ... He opened a school for the children of his serfs”可知，接下来是创办学校，即④；根据“So in 1862, Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs.”可知，然后是结婚，即②；根据“The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy’s life. It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books—War and Peace and Anna Karenina. ”可知，最后是写了《战争与和平》，即③。综上，正确的顺序为①⑤④②③。故选C。 27. 细节理解题。根据“As a young man, he thought people could achieve perfection if they tried hard enough. So he worked very hard to be the best in everything.”可知，年轻时托尔斯泰想在各方面做到最好是为了达到完美。故选B。 28. 细节理解题。根据“He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the rich people he knew.”可知，托尔斯泰认为能从工人那里学到很多是因为他们更诚实。故选B。 29. 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了托尔斯泰一生都在探寻生命的意义，从年轻时的想法，到后来通过不同方式去寻找，即本文是关于托尔斯泰对生命意义的探索。故选D。 B Each year on Feb 21, UNESCO ( 联合国教科文组织) holds an International Mother Language Day (IMLD, 国际母语日 ) to help prevent the disappearance (消失) of the world’s languages; many of them are disappearing each year. UNESCO sees this as a terrible fact. What happens when a language dies out? Something great is lost—not just sounds and signs but the way that people understand the world and communicate with each other. We keep different cultures and traditions through languages. Kill a language and all these are killed too. Through IMLD, more and more people come to realize the terrible situation and try to stop it. Google’s 2018 Endangered (濒临灭绝的) Languages Project is a good example. Many speakers and protectors of endangered languages upload (上传) texts, audios, and videos to the project website. They want to introduce the way that people communicate and express themselves around the world. The Myaamia Project is the same kind of project to revive the language spoken by the Miami tribes (部落) of the United States. Project members work to support people in studying and communicating with this language, which died out in the 1960s. These activities give life to those endangered languages. People who work to keep languages alive are not limited to the past. Many young people design apps and use social media to support their activities. They use words to save the world. So, while the problem of disappearing languages is still a very serious one, there is hope. We all have a special feeling for our mother language. This is why we should remember the wise words of the late president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela, “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart.” 30. What did people do in Google’s 2018 Endangered Languages Project? A. Discuss how to make good use of Google. B. Offer online courses on endangered languages. C. Share things about endangered languages online. D. Translate endangered languages into mother languages. 31. What does the underlined word “revive” mean in Paragraph ( 段落) 5? A. to cause something B. to learn something C. to bring something back to life D. to take away something 32. What can we infer (推断) from Paragraph 6? A. It is more difficult to protect endangered languages. B. The disappearance of languages has already stopped. C. Young people don’t care about endangered languages. D. Young people have new ways to protect languages. 33. The writer mentions Nelson Mandela’s words in order to ________. A. tell the importance of one’s mother language B. show his actions to protect languages C. tell the trouble in learning endangered languages D. show that it is possible to protect mother languages 【答案】30. C 31. C 32. D 33. A 【解析】本文介绍了联合国教科文组织每年2月21日举办国际母语日，旨在防止世界语言消失。 30. 细节理解题。根据“Many speakers and protectors of endangered languages upload (上传) texts, audios, and videos to the project website.”可知，在谷歌2018年濒危语言项目中，人们在线分享濒危语言相关内容。故选C。 31. 词句猜测题。根据“The Myaamia Project is the same kind of project to revive the language spoken by the Miami tribes (部落) of the United States. Project members work to support people in studying and communicating with this language, which died out in the 1960s.”可知，revive意思是让消失的语言重新恢复生机，即to bring something back to life。故选C。 32. 推理判断题。根据“Many young people design apps and use social media to support their activities. They use words to save the world.”可知，说明年轻人有新的方式保护语言。故选D。 33. 推理判断题。根据“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart.”可知，此句强调了用母语交流能深入人心，体现了母语的重要性，可推测作者引用是为了说明母语的重要性。故选A。 C ①Do you know DNA? Every living thing has DNA, so scientists can use it to identify (识别) living things. They leave bits of DNA behind wherever they go. DNA left behind like this is “environmental” DNA, or eDNA. Scientists can use it to tell what kinds of animals are in a certain place. ②Testing eDNA isn’t a new idea. Most of the time ________, and a group of scientists from Shanghai once succeeded in finding the exact number and different kinds of fishes in Yangtze River. But now, two teams of scientists have found a new way of identifying animals in an area by testing eDNA in the air. ③Both teams chose to test in zoos because wild animals were not easy to find in the area. One team collected samples (样本) from different places at Denmark’s Copenhagen Zoo, and the other team did it at Hamerton Zoo Park in the UK. ④Interestingly, both teams used vacuums (真空吸尘器) and fans to get small bits of eDNA in the air. After collecting samples, they went back to the lab and compared their samples with examples of DNA from different animals. So, the scientists were able to identify many different animals at the zoos. ⑤Both teams have followed different animals, even the ones in danger without interfering (干扰) with them in this new way. They were so excited about their new way that they put their results of the test together and wrote a paper together in order to invite more scientists to join them. ⑥However, it’s still unknown whether (是否) this new way will work out fine or not in the wild world. If scientists know where the wild animals live, they can do a better job of protecting (保护) them. ⑦So the next step is to find out how to take this new way into the wild world. 34. Which sentence can be put into ________? A. scientists had no idea of how to look for eDNA B. scientists couldn’t agree on how to look for eDNA C. scientists looked for the eDNA in the water D. scientists tried to find new ways to look for eDNA 35. In paragraph ⑤, what does “this new way” refer to (指代)? A. The way of identifying animals by testing eDNA in the air. B. The way of collecting eDNA in zoos. C. The way of writing a paper together. D. The way of protecting wild animals. 36. What can we infer from the passage? A. Testing eDNA in the water is the best way of identifying animals in the wild. B. Testing eDNA in the air may be helpful for scientists to protect wild animals in the future. C. Testing eDNA in the air is only useful in zoos but not in the wild. D. There is no need for scientists to visit where wild animals lie. 37. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】34. C 35. A 36. B 37. B 【解析】本文主要介绍了科学家通过检测空气中的环境DNA（eDNA）来识别动物的新方法，并探讨了该方法在野生动物保护中的潜在应用。 34. 推理判断题。根据上文“Testing eDNA isn’t a new idea.”和空后的内容“and a group of scientists from Shanghai once succeeded in finding the exact number and different kinds of fishes in Yangtze River”可知，检测eDNA并非新方法，且后文提到科学家就曾成功检测出长江中鱼类的准确数量及种类，说明此前科学家主要在水中检测eDNA，选项C“科学家在水中寻找eDNA”符合语境。故选C。 35. 词句猜测题。根据“But now, two teams of scientists have found a new way of identifying animals in an area by testing eDNA in the air.”和“Both teams have followed different animals, even the ones in danger without interfering (干扰) with them in this new way.”可知，“this new way”指代的是“通过检测空气中的eDNA来识别动物”。故选A。 36. 推理判断题。根据“If scientists know where the wild animals live, they can do a better job of protecting (保护) them.”和“So the next step is to find out how to take this new way into wild world.”可知，“通过检测空气中的eDNA来识别动物”的方法在未来可能有助于保护野生动物。故选B。 37. 篇章结构题。本文第一段总述eDNA；第二段提出了通过检测空气中的eDNA来识别动物的新方法；第三、四、五段介绍了这种新方法的具体做法；第六、七段介绍新方法的未来发展。图B与之相符，故选B。 D How to write a secret message Do you want to write a message only for a person?

Therefore, Chinese people make wines with them instead of eating them directly. They also use plums to make a sour plum drink and preserved plums. 45 They put plums into rice wine and added sugar. Then they sealed (密封) the mixture in a bottle and kept it for 30 days before drinking. Today, people still make plum wine with alcohol, and such drinks can be kept for years. A.

Why do I wish for anything, or do anything? Is there anything in my life that will not be destroyed by my death?” Like Leo Tolstoy, the famous Russian writer, many people ask these difficult questions. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer these difficult questions. As a young man, he thought people could achieve perfection if they tried hard enough. So he worked very hard to be the best in everything. He thought that he would find meaning and truth in success (成功). In the 1850s, Tolstoy wrote his first stories. He wrote about his life in the army (军队). He also told stories about his childhood. These works were published (出版) and Tolstoy became a well-known writer. He got the respect he always wanted. Many rich and smart men met and talked with Tolstoy. Some of them were writers like him. They talked a lot about faith (信仰) and the meaning of life. But soon Tolstoy realized that these men were not perfect. Now he knew they could not answer his questions about faith. So in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a different way to find the meaning of life. He opened a school for the children of his serfs—the people who worked on his land. These workers were very poor. He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the rich people he knew. Tolstoy learned a lot from his workers. He understood how they worked hard to support their families. He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning. So in 1862, Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs. The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy’s life. It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books—War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Many experts say that War and Peace is one of the greatest books ever written. In these books, Tolstoy believed humans should live a simple life and take care of their families. Tolstoy thought this would bring him happiness. Leo Tolstoy is still a very respected writer today. His faith and writings have influenced (影响) many people all over the world. 26. Which is the correct order of the following events? ① Tolstoy served in the army.       ②Tolstoy got married. ③ Tolstoy wrote War and Peace.      ④Tolstoy opened a school. ⑤ Tolstoy became a well-known writer. A. ①⑤③②④ B. ⑤①③②④ C. ①⑤④②③ D. ⑤④①③② 27. Why did Tolstoy want to be the best in everything when he was young? A. To prepare for his books. B. To achieve perfection. C. To make a lot of money. D. To show his wisdom. 28. Tolstoy thought he would learn a lot from his workers because they were ________. A. poor B. honest C. friendly D. patient 29. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Leo Tolstoy: Living for writing. B. Leo Tolstoy: Influencing the world. C. Leo Tolstoy: Being the best in everything. D. Leo Tolstoy: Searching for the meaning of life. B Each year on Feb 21, UNESCO ( 联合国教科文组织) holds an International Mother Language Day (IMLD, 国际母语日 ) to help prevent the disappearance (消失) of the world’s languages; many of them are disappearing each year. UNESCO sees this as a terrible fact. What happens when a language dies out? Something great is lost—not just sounds and signs but the way that people understand the world and communicate with each other. We keep different cultures and traditions through languages. Kill a language and all these are killed too. Through IMLD, more and more people come to realize the terrible situation and try to stop it. Google’s 2018 Endangered (濒临灭绝的) Languages Project is a good example. Many speakers and protectors of endangered languages upload (上传) texts, audios, and videos to the project website. They want to introduce the way that people communicate and express themselves around the world. The Myaamia Project is the same kind of project to revive the language spoken by the Miami tribes (部落) of the United States. Project members work to support people in studying and communicating with this language, which died out in the 1960s. These activities give life to those endangered languages. People who work to keep languages alive are not limited to the past. Many young people design apps and use social media to support their activities. They use words to save the world. So, while the problem of disappearing languages is still a very serious one, there is hope. We all have a special feeling for our mother language. This is why we should remember the wise words of the late president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela, “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart.” 30. What did people do in Google’s 2018 Endangered Languages Project? A. Discuss how to make good use of Google. B. Offer online courses on endangered languages. C. Share things about endangered languages online. D. Translate endangered languages into mother languages. 31. What does the underlined word “revive” mean in Paragraph ( 段落) 5? A. to cause something B. to learn something C. to bring something back to life D. to take away something 32. What can we infer (推断) from Paragraph 6? A. It is more difficult to protect endangered languages. B. The disappearance of languages has already stopped. C. Young people don’t care about endangered languages. D. Young people have new ways to protect languages. 33. The writer mentions Nelson Mandela’s words in order to ________. A. tell the importance of one’s mother language B. show his actions to protect languages C. tell the trouble in learning endangered languages D. show that it is possible to protect mother languages C ①Do you know DNA? Every living thing has DNA, so scientists can use it to identify (识别) living things. They leave bits of DNA behind wherever they go. DNA left behind like this is “environmental” DNA, or eDNA. Scientists can use it to tell what kinds of animals are in a certain place. ②Testing eDNA isn’t a new idea. Most of the time ________, and a group of scientists from Shanghai once succeeded in finding the exact number and different kinds of fishes in Yangtze River. But now, two teams of scientists have found a new way of identifying animals in an area by testing eDNA in the air. ③Both teams chose to test in zoos because wild animals were not easy to find in the area. One team collected samples (样本) from different places at Denmark’s Copenhagen Zoo, and the other team did it at Hamerton Zoo Park in the UK. ④Interestingly, both teams used vacuums (真空吸尘器) and fans to get small bits of eDNA in the air. After collecting samples, they went back to the lab and compared their samples with examples of DNA from different animals. So, the scientists were able to identify many different animals at the zoos. ⑤Both teams have followed different animals, even the ones in danger without interfering (干扰) with them in this new way. They were so excited about their new way that they put their results of the test together and wrote a paper together in order to invite more scientists to join them. ⑥However, it’s still unknown whether (是否) this new way will work out fine or not in the wild world. If scientists know where the wild animals live, they can do a better job of protecting (保护) them. ⑦So the next step is to find out how to take this new way into the wild world. 34. Which sentence can be put into ________? A. scientists had no idea of how to look for eDNA B. scientists couldn’t agree on how to look for eDNA C. scientists looked for the eDNA in the water D. scientists tried to find new ways to look for eDNA 35. In paragraph ⑤, what does “this new way” refer to (指代)? A. The way of identifying animals by testing eDNA in the air. B. The way of collecting eDNA in zoos. C. The way of writing a paper together. D. The way of protecting wild animals. 36. What can we infer from the passage? A. Testing eDNA in the water is the best way of identifying animals in the wild. B. Testing eDNA in the air may be helpful for scientists to protect wild animals in the future. C. Testing eDNA in the air is only useful in zoos but not in the wild. D. There is no need for scientists to visit where wild animals lie. 37. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. D How to write a secret message Do you want to write a message only for a person? The other people can’t see the message on the paper. Only that person knows how to make the message appear (出现). Here’s a way to write it. You’ll need * half a lemon     *a cup * four spoons of water     *a cotton swab (棉签) * white paper     *a light bulb What to do 1. Squeeze (挤) some lemon juice into water.

Farmers need to plant various crops, such as beans and sweet potatoes. They also need to harvest wheat (小麦) and vegetables in time. 43 In southern China, this period of time is called the plum rain season (梅雨季节). Plum rains often happen during June and July. Plums become ripe (熟的) during this time, so this long summer period of rainy or cloudy weather is called the plum rain season. Plum rains might be unpleasant, but plum wine has been popular among the Chinese for thousands of years. 44 However, fresh plums taste sour. Therefore, Chinese people make wines with them instead of eating them directly. They also use plums to make a sour plum drink and preserved plums. 45 They put plums into rice wine and added sugar. Then they sealed (密封) the mixture in a bottle and kept it for 30 days before drinking. Today, people still make plum wine with alcohol, and such drinks can be kept for years. A.

Why do I wish for anything, or do anything? Is there anything in my life that will not be destroyed by my death?” Like Leo Tolstoy, the famous Russian writer, many people ask these difficult questions. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer these difficult questions. As a young man, he thought people could achieve perfection if they tried hard enough. So he worked very hard to be the best in everything. He thought that he would find meaning and truth in success (成功). In the 1850s, Tolstoy wrote his first stories. He wrote about his life in the army (军队). He also told stories about his childhood. These works were published (出版) and Tolstoy became a well-known writer. He got the respect he always wanted. Many rich and smart men met and talked with Tolstoy. Some of them were writers like him. They talked a lot about faith (信仰) and the meaning of life. But soon Tolstoy realized that these men were not perfect. Now he knew they could not answer his questions about faith. So in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a different way to find the meaning of life. He opened a school for the children of his serfs—the people who worked on his land. These workers were very poor. He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the rich people he knew. Tolstoy learned a lot from his workers. He understood how they worked hard to support their families. He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning. So in 1862, Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs. The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy’s life. It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books—War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Many experts say that War and Peace is one of the greatest books ever written. In these books, Tolstoy believed humans should live a simple life and take care of their families. Tolstoy thought this would bring him happiness. Leo Tolstoy is still a very respected writer today. His faith and writings have influenced (影响) many people all over the world. 26. Which is the correct order of the following events? ① Tolstoy served in the army.       ②Tolstoy got married. ③ Tolstoy wrote War and Peace.      ④Tolstoy opened a school. ⑤ Tolstoy became a well-known writer. A. ①⑤③②④ B. ⑤①③②④ C. ①⑤④②③ D. ⑤④①③② 27. Why did Tolstoy want to be the best in everything when he was young? A. To prepare for his books. B. To achieve perfection. C. To make a lot of money. D. To show his wisdom. 28. Tolstoy thought he would learn a lot from his workers because they were ________. A. poor B. honest C. friendly D. patient 29. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Leo Tolstoy: Living for writing. B. Leo Tolstoy: Influencing the world. C. Leo Tolstoy: Being the best in everything. D. Leo Tolstoy: Searching for the meaning of life. B Each year on Feb 21, UNESCO ( 联合国教科文组织) holds an International Mother Language Day (IMLD, 国际母语日 ) to help prevent the disappearance (消失) of the world’s languages; many of them are disappearing each year. UNESCO sees this as a terrible fact. What happens when a language dies out? Something great is lost—not just sounds and signs but the way that people understand the world and communicate with each other. We keep different cultures and traditions through languages. Kill a language and all these are killed too. Through IMLD, more and more people come to realize the terrible situation and try to stop it. Google’s 2018 Endangered (濒临灭绝的) Languages Project is a good example. Many speakers and protectors of endangered languages upload (上传) texts, audios, and videos to the project website. They want to introduce the way that people communicate and express themselves around the world. The Myaamia Project is the same kind of project to revive the language spoken by the Miami tribes (部落) of the United States. Project members work to support people in studying and communicating with this language, which died out in the 1960s. These activities give life to those endangered languages. People who work to keep languages alive are not limited to the past. Many young people design apps and use social media to support their activities. They use words to save the world. So, while the problem of disappearing languages is still a very serious one, there is hope. We all have a special feeling for our mother language. This is why we should remember the wise words of the late president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela, “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart.” 30. What did people do in Google’s 2018 Endangered Languages Project? A. Discuss how to make good use of Google. B. Offer online courses on endangered languages. C. Share things about endangered languages online. D. Translate endangered languages into mother languages. 31. What does the underlined word “revive” mean in Paragraph ( 段落) 5? A. to cause something B. to learn something C. to bring something back to life D. to take away something 32. What can we infer (推断) from Paragraph 6? A. It is more difficult to protect endangered languages. B. The disappearance of languages has already stopped. C. Young people don’t care about endangered languages. D. Young people have new ways to protect languages. 33. The writer mentions Nelson Mandela’s words in order to ________. A. tell the importance of one’s mother language B. show his actions to protect languages C. tell the trouble in learning endangered languages D. show that it is possible to protect mother languages C ①Do you know DNA? Every living thing has DNA, so scientists can use it to identify (识别) living things. They leave bits of DNA behind wherever they go. DNA left behind like this is “environmental” DNA, or eDNA. Scientists can use it to tell what kinds of animals are in a certain place. ②Testing eDNA isn’t a new idea. Most of the time ________, and a group of scientists from Shanghai once succeeded in finding the exact number and different kinds of fishes in Yangtze River. But now, two teams of scientists have found a new way of identifying animals in an area by testing eDNA in the air. ③Both teams chose to test in zoos because wild animals were not easy to find in the area. One team collected samples (样本) from different places at Denmark’s Copenhagen Zoo, and the other team did it at Hamerton Zoo Park in the UK. ④Interestingly, both teams used vacuums (真空吸尘器) and fans to get small bits of eDNA in the air. After collecting samples, they went back to the lab and compared their samples with examples of DNA from different animals. So, the scientists were able to identify many different animals at the zoos. ⑤Both teams have followed different animals, even the ones in danger without interfering (干扰) with them in this new way. They were so excited about their new way that they put their results of the test together and wrote a paper together in order to invite more scientists to join them. ⑥However, it’s still unknown whether (是否) this new way will work out fine or not in the wild world. If scientists know where the wild animals live, they can do a better job of protecting (保护) them. ⑦So the next step is to find out how to take this new way into the wild world. 34. Which sentence can be put into ________? A. scientists had no idea of how to look for eDNA B. scientists couldn’t agree on how to look for eDNA C. scientists looked for the eDNA in the water D. scientists tried to find new ways to look for eDNA 35. In paragraph ⑤, what does “this new way” refer to (指代)? A. The way of identifying animals by testing eDNA in the air. B. The way of collecting eDNA in zoos. C. The way of writing a paper together. D. The way of protecting wild animals. 36. What can we infer from the passage? A. Testing eDNA in the water is the best way of identifying animals in the wild. B. Testing eDNA in the air may be helpful for scientists to protect wild animals in the future. C. Testing eDNA in the air is only useful in zoos but not in the wild. D. There is no need for scientists to visit where wild animals lie. 37. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. D How to write a secret message Do you want to write a message only for a person? The other people can’t see the message on the paper. Only that person knows how to make the message appear (出现). Here’s a way to write it. You’ll need * half a lemon     *a cup * four spoons of water     *a cotton swab (棉签) * white paper     *a light bulb What to do 1. Squeeze (挤) some lemon juice into water. Mix the water and juice. 2. Put the cotton swab into the mixture and make it wet. 3. Use the wet cotton swab to write some words on the paper. 4. Let the paper dry. Show it to someone and ask if he or she can see the words on the paper. 5. Hold the paper close to a light bulb to heat it. Ask him or her again. Let me explain it! Lemon juice has chemicals that have carbon. The chemicals break down easily when they are heated. And the carbon makes them turn into a dark color. 38. What do we need to write a secret message? A. An orange. B. A glass. C. White paper. D. Three spoons of water. 39. How many things do we need to do if we want to write a secret message? A. Five. B. Four. C. Three. D. Two. 40. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A storybook. B. A fashion newspaper. C. An advertisement D.

Farmers need to plant various crops, such as beans and sweet potatoes. They also need to harvest wheat (小麦) and vegetables in time. 43 In southern China, this period of time is called the plum rain season (梅雨季节). Plum rains often happen during June and July. Plums become ripe (熟的) during this time, so this long summer period of rainy or cloudy weather is called the plum rain season. Plum rains might be unpleasant, but plum wine has been popular among the Chinese for thousands of years. 44 However, fresh plums taste sour. Therefore, Chinese people make wines with them instead of eating them directly. They also use plums to make a sour plum drink and preserved plums. 45 They put plums into rice wine and added sugar. Then they sealed (密封) the mixture in a bottle and kept it for 30 days before drinking. Today, people still make plum wine with alcohol, and such drinks can be kept for years. A. How did the ancient Chinese people make plum wine? B. Plums are good for people’s health. C. It describes what a farmer’s life is like during this period of time. D. It falls on June 5 this year. E. Grain in Ear usually begins a period of increased rainfall. 四、语篇填词（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） Planning a trip can be both exciting and difficult.
