I don’t mean expensive designer T-shirts. After all, just because you spend a lot of money on a shirt doesn’t mean that it looks good. I’m talking about the T-shirts that say something about you, like where you’ve been, what you like, or what you think. Those are often the T-shirts that we feel the most comfortable in and that we wear again and again. I’m going to tell you about two T-shirts that I really, really love and explain why. I’ve been to London twice. The first time I went I saw this shirt in a souvenir shop and my dad bought it for me. I really loved the design and the colors. And it reminds me of something funny that happened. One day we were travelling around the center of London. We almost got lost, but we found our way—thanks to the picture on this T-shirt! Sometimes I’ve bought clothes that I’ve never worn or that I’ve only worn once or twice. But I’ve worn(and washed)this T-shirt hundreds of times. I love music and I love Adele. I haven’t seen many of my favorite artists live, but I bought this when I went to Adele’s concert two years ago. It was a great concert and this is a great souvenir. And white T-shirts go with anything, not just jeans! So, those are just two of my favorite T-shirts that tell a story. What about yours? posted 16th April at 16:57 post a comment Nuria Gil, Spain I’ve never been to China and I don’t know any Chinese, but one of my favorite T-shirts has the Chinese characters on it. One of the reasons that I like it is because I love the bright colors of the characters. And it has sentimental(情感)value. Last year, my brother studied in Beijing and he gave me this when he came home. 56. What did Sara’s T-shirt help her family do in London? A. Find a souvenir shop. B. Know where they were. C. Take a short way. D. Remember who they were. 57. Why is the other T-shirt so important to Sara? A. It has been worn twice. B. It washes well. C. It’s bought at Adele’s concert. D. It goes with jeans. 58. What does Nuria think of her T-shirt? A. It is old. B. It is simple. C. It is expensive. D. It is valuable. B What subject do you worry about the most at school? Many students worry about math. Some students can’t sleep well the day before a math exam. Others may feel very nervous during the exam itself. But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful. “For people who are anxious about math, posture (姿势) makes a big difference,” Erik Peper from San Francisco State University told the Daily Mail. That’s right – sitting up straight can help you do better on math exams. Scientists tested 125 college students. They asked them to do a simple math quiz while sitting in a slumped-over (趴倒的) position, or sitting up straight. After the test, 56 percent of students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight. Slumping over is a defensive posture. It can trigger (激发) negative (消极的) memories in the body and brain. This can stop you from thinking clearly, Peper said. Students who were not nervous about taking the math exam did not necessarily benefit from better posture. But they did find that doing math while slumped over was more difficult, Science Daily reported. Good posture isn’t just helpful for taking math exams. Athletes, musicians and public speakers can all benefit from better posture. When you feel stressed out, you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall. It can help you feel more positive and focus better. 59. According to the passage, how do some students feel when they face math? A. Cool and calm. B. Sleepy. C. Stressed. D. Relaxed. 60. How many students found it easier to do the math quiz when sitting straight? A. 125. B. 70. C. 56. D. 60. 61. What do we know from the passage? A. Sitting up straight can help people feel better. B. Good posture is just helpful for taking math exams. C. Right posture can help students remember faster. D. Slumping over can sometimes have a good influence. 62. What is the passage mainly about? A. Who usually slumps over. B. How to relax in an exam. C. The benefits of positive postures. D. A good way to have math tests. C On the first day of school, our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady with a smile. She said, “Hi, handsome! My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?” I laughed and warmly responded, “Of course you may!” She gave me a giant squeeze (拥抱). “Why are you in college at such a young, innocent (幼稚的) age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel.” “No, seriously?” I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age. “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me. After class we walked to the Student Union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day of the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always attracted listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon (校园偶像) and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and enjoyed the attention from other students. She was living it up. At the end of the term, we invited Rose to speak at a student gathering. I’ll never forget what she taught us. “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. There are so many people walking around who are dead, and they don’t even know it.” she said. “There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability,” she added. “But growing up requires finding opportunities in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. ” She concluded her speech by courageously singing The Rose. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics (歌词) and live them out in our daily life. At the year’s end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years. We’d always keep her in mind because it is the wonderful woman who taught us by example that it’s never too late to be all you can possibly be. 63. Why did Rose go to college according to the passage? A. To share her wisdom and experience. B. To find out the secret of living longer. C. To make her college dream come true. D. To get married to a wealthy husband. 64. The meaning of the underlined phrase “living it up” probably means ________. A. enjoying life B. growing older C. working hard D. losing herself 65. Which of the correct order of the following events? a. Rose graduated from college. b. Rose gave an encouraging speech. c. Rose and the writer became friends. d. Rose introduced herself to the writer. e. Rose became popular among students. f. Rose greeted the writer with a big hug. A. f-e-b-c B. f-c-a-b C. d-b-e-a D. d-c-b-a 66. What lesson can we learn from Rose’s story? A. Being generous to people can gain respect from them. B. Growing up is easy while growing older needs efforts. C. Doing what we dream of leads to no regrets in the future. D. Never to stop studying makes people stay young forever. D Making velvet flowers（绒花）was an endangered folk art, but it’s now kept alive with more young craftsmen devoting themselves to the art. Murong Yi, 21, a senior studying at a university in Beijing, is one of them. Recently, she posted her video about how to make velvet flower head—wear shaped like a golden phoenix on Sina Weibo. The artwork was made of 4, 000 pieces of cocoon fiber（蚕丝）in 12 days. Generally, it only takes two to three days to make a velvet flower. The video has received over 2. 4 million views on Bilibili. Velvet flowers are called “ronghua”（荣华）in Chinese, it means great wealth. It was a popular decoration in festivals and weddings, but few people know about it now. “I started to learn about it five or six years ago from some ancient Chinese costume historical dramas,” she said. She tried to learn from others but couldn’t find many online tutorial videos. Finally, she watched a one-hour TV program, in which an inheritor（继承人）showed how to make velvet flowers in detail. Then, there was the problem of buying materials. Velvet flowers are made of silk and copper wires（铜线）. “However, it was difficult to buy these materials at that time,” Murong said. Another key step is to choose copper wires in the proper size and type. “The hardness really do matter, ” she said. “Even 1-millimeter would lead to a different shape.” Without much experience, she had to learn from failures and tried again. New ideas naturally came up when Murong grew as a skilled creator. She found a way to have ready—made fiber produced in a factory, which helped make the handicraft much easier. Now, people interested in this craft can simply buy the material from her Taobao store. “By doing this, I hope it will help those who want to try ronghua,” Murong said. As a lover of Chinese traditional culture, she said “I’ll learn more about different handicrafts and help make them popular among young people by social media.” 67. In the passage, Murong Yi is ________ . A. a university teacher from Beijing. B. an inheritor who makes velvet flowers. C. a factory worker who makes fiber. D. a lover of Chinese traditional culture. 68. The underlined sentence “The video has received over 2. 4 million views on Bilibili.” shows that ________ . A. people take interest in Murong’s velvet flowers B. people like watching short videos on Bilibili C. people can learn different skills from videos D. Murong wants to be an online celebrity（网红） 69. Which sentence can be put in ________? A. Many young people show interest in it. B. Therefore, Murong faced challenges. C. Luckily, Murong knows the method. D. Murong decided to learn from videos online. 70. According to the passage, what may Murong do in the future? A. Learn more about different handicrafts. B. Open more stores on Taobao to make money. C. Sell velvet flowers on social media and teach people. D. Make velvet flowers for some historical dramas. 五、课外阅读 请根据“The Merchant of Venice”，判断正误。正确的涂A，错误的涂B。 71.

In ancient China, the school entrance ceremony (入学典礼) was one of the most important ceremonies. Children began school between the ages of 4~7 in ancient China. Since there was no certain time to begin a new term at that time, the most important thing for parents was to choose a lucky day for their children to enter school. Next, parents would prepare some school things for their children, including desks, chairs and the four treasures of the study. In ancient times, teachers were usually very knowledgeable local persons. Parents would prepare many gifts, and then write a letter of invitation to ask a knowledgeable man to be their children’s teacher. On the day their children entered school, parents would take them to take part in The First Writing Ceremony. Before that, children would kowtow (叩头) to the statue of Confucius (孔子像) 9 times and then to their teacher 3 times to show their deep respect. During the ceremony, the teacher would put a red point on the students’ forehead (前额) as it meant opening the wisdom eye. Children would ring a certain bell to start a new term. After that, they could finally sit down in their seats and begin to study. The First Writing Ceremony was a very important ceremony for every student. Every day, students would arrive at school earlier than their teacher, and kowtow to the statue of Confucius, and then go back to the seats. Usually the teacher would give every student a new name, which was used for future Imperial Examination (科举考试) . Today, some schools are starting to hold an entrance ceremony like they did in ancient times. Students put on traditional costumes and bow to the statue of Confucius and their teachers. This means that from this moment, they take a step in the lifelong journey of learning. 101. At what age did children begin school in ancient China? ________________________ 102.

I don’t mean expensive designer T-shirts. After all, just because you spend a lot of money on a shirt doesn’t mean that it looks good. I’m talking about the T-shirts that say something about you, like where you’ve been, what you like, or what you think. Those are often the T-shirts that we feel the most comfortable in and that we wear again and again. I’m going to tell you about two T-shirts that I really, really love and explain why. I’ve been to London twice. The first time I went I saw this shirt in a souvenir shop and my dad bought it for me. I really loved the design and the colors. And it reminds me of something funny that happened. One day we were travelling around the center of London. We almost got lost, but we found our way—thanks to the picture on this T-shirt! Sometimes I’ve bought clothes that I’ve never worn or that I’ve only worn once or twice. But I’ve worn(and washed)this T-shirt hundreds of times. I love music and I love Adele. I haven’t seen many of my favorite artists live, but I bought this when I went to Adele’s concert two years ago. It was a great concert and this is a great souvenir. And white T-shirts go with anything, not just jeans! So, those are just two of my favorite T-shirts that tell a story. What about yours? posted 16th April at 16:57 post a comment Nuria Gil, Spain I’ve never been to China and I don’t know any Chinese, but one of my favorite T-shirts has the Chinese characters on it. One of the reasons that I like it is because I love the bright colors of the characters. And it has sentimental(情感)value.

Many students worry about math. Some students can’t sleep well the day before a math exam. Others may feel very nervous during the exam itself. But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful. “For people who are anxious about math, posture (姿势) makes a big difference,” Erik Peper from San Francisco State University told the Daily Mail. That’s right – sitting up straight can help you do better on math exams. Scientists tested 125 college students. They asked them to do a simple math quiz while sitting in a slumped-over (趴倒的) position, or sitting up straight. After the test, 56 percent of students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight. Slumping over is a defensive posture. It can trigger (激发) negative (消极的) memories in the body and brain. This can stop you from thinking clearly, Peper said. Students who were not nervous about taking the math exam did not necessarily benefit from better posture. But they did find that doing math while slumped over was more difficult, Science Daily reported. Good posture isn’t just helpful for taking math exams. Athletes, musicians and public speakers can all benefit from better posture. When you feel stressed out, you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall. It can help you feel more positive and focus better. 59. According to the passage, how do some students feel when they face math? A. Cool and calm. B. Sleepy. C. Stressed. D. Relaxed. 60. How many students found it easier to do the math quiz when sitting straight? A. 125. B. 70. C. 56. D. 60. 61. What do we know from the passage? A. Sitting up straight can help people feel better. B. Good posture is just helpful for taking math exams. C. Right posture can help students remember faster. D. Slumping over can sometimes have a good influence. 62. What is the passage mainly about? A. Who usually slumps over. B. How to relax in an exam. C. The benefits of positive postures. D. A good way to have math tests. 【答案】59. C 60. B 61. A 62. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了良好姿势，尤其是坐直，对缓解数学焦虑、提升考试表现等方面的益处，还提及对运动员、音乐家等群体也有帮助。 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Many students worry about math. Some students can’t sleep well the day before a math exam. Others may feel very nervous during the exam itself.”可知，一些学生面对数学时会有压力，故选C。 【60题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Scientists tested 125 college students.”以及“After the test, 56 percent of students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight.”，125×56% = 70，可知约 70 名学生觉得坐直时做数学小测验更容易，故选B。 【61题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When you feel stressed out, you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall. It can help you feel more positive and focus better.”可知，坐直能帮助人们感觉更好，故选A。 【62题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要讲了积极姿势，如坐直，带来的益处，包括对数学考试、缓解压力等方面的帮助，故选C。 C On the first day of school, our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady with a smile. She said, “Hi, handsome! My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?” I laughed and warmly responded, “Of course you may!” She gave me a giant squeeze (拥抱). “Why are you in college at such a young, innocent (幼稚的) age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel.” “No, seriously?” I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age. “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me. After class we walked to the Student Union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day of the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always attracted listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon (校园偶像) and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and enjoyed the attention from other students. She was living it up. At the end of the term, we invited Rose to speak at a student gathering. I’ll never forget what she taught us. “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. There are so many people walking around who are dead, and they don’t even know it.” she said. “There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability,” she added. “But growing up requires finding opportunities in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. ” She concluded her speech by courageously singing The Rose. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics (歌词) and live them out in our daily life. At the year’s end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years. We’d always keep her in mind because it is the wonderful woman who taught us by example that it’s never too late to be all you can possibly be. 63. Why did Rose go to college according to the passage? A. To share her wisdom and experience. B. To find out the secret of living longer. C. To make her college dream come true. D. To get married to a wealthy husband. 64. The meaning of the underlined phrase “living it up” probably means ________. A. enjoying life B. growing older C. working hard D. losing herself 65. Which of the correct order of the following events? a. Rose graduated from college. b. Rose gave an encouraging speech. c. Rose and the writer became friends. d. Rose introduced herself to the writer. e. Rose became popular among students. f. Rose greeted the writer with a big hug. A. f-e-b-c B. f-c-a-b C. d-b-e-a D. d-c-b-a 66. What lesson can we learn from Rose’s story? A. Being generous to people can gain respect from them. B. Growing up is easy while growing older needs efforts. C. Doing what we dream of leads to no regrets in the future. D. Never to stop studying makes people stay young forever. 【答案】63. C 64. A 65. D 66. C 【解析】 【导语】本文作者在开学第一天认识了Rose，一位87岁的大学生，她总是梦想着受大学教育，并且真的实现了。她在学期末的聚会上说：任何人都能变老，但想要长大，则必须从变化中寻找机会。 【63题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!”可知Rose去上大学是因为想要使自己的大学梦得以实现。故选C。 【64题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“She loved to dress up and enjoyed the attention from other students. She was living it up.”可知Rose喜欢打扮也享受别的学生的关注，由此推出她享受生活，living it up与“enjoying life”意思相近。故选A。 【65题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Hi, handsome! My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug? ... We became instant friends. ... At the end of the term, we invited Rose to speak at a student gathering. ... At the year’s end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years.”可知正确的顺序是：Rose向作家作了自我介绍→Rose和作家成了朋友→Rose发表了鼓舞人心的讲话→Rose大学毕业了。故选D。 【66题详解】 推理判断题。根据“But growing up requires finding opportunities in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do.”及Rose的故事可推出能学到：做我们梦想的事，将来不会后悔。故选C。 D Making velvet flowers（绒花）was an endangered folk art, but it’s now kept alive with more young craftsmen devoting themselves to the art. Murong Yi, 21, a senior studying at a university in Beijing, is one of them. Recently, she posted her video about how to make velvet flower head—wear shaped like a golden phoenix on Sina Weibo. The artwork was made of 4, 000 pieces of cocoon fiber（蚕丝）in 12 days. Generally, it only takes two to three days to make a velvet flower. The video has received over 2. 4 million views on Bilibili. Velvet flowers are called “ronghua”（荣华）in Chinese, it means great wealth. It was a popular decoration in festivals and weddings, but few people know about it now. “I started to learn about it five or six years ago from some ancient Chinese costume historical dramas,” she said. She tried to learn from others but couldn’t find many online tutorial videos. Finally, she watched a one-hour TV program, in which an inheritor（继承人）showed how to make velvet flowers in detail. Then, there was the problem of buying materials. Velvet flowers are made of silk and copper wires（铜线）. “However, it was difficult to buy these materials at that time,” Murong said. Another key step is to choose copper wires in the proper size and type. “The hardness really do matter, ” she said. “Even 1-millimeter would lead to a different shape.” Without much experience, she had to learn from failures and tried again. New ideas naturally came up when Murong grew as a skilled creator. She found a way to have ready—made fiber produced in a factory, which helped make the handicraft much easier. Now, people interested in this craft can simply buy the material from her Taobao store. “By doing this, I hope it will help those who want to try ronghua,” Murong said. As a lover of Chinese traditional culture, she said “I’ll learn more about different handicrafts and help make them popular among young people by social media.” 67. In the passage, Murong Yi is ________ . A. a university teacher from Beijing. B. an inheritor who makes velvet flowers. C. a factory worker who makes fiber.

In ancient China, the school entrance ceremony (入学典礼) was one of the most important ceremonies. Children began school between the ages of 4~7 in ancient China. Since there was no certain time to begin a new term at that time, the most important thing for parents was to choose a lucky day for their children to enter school. Next, parents would prepare some school things for their children, including desks, chairs and the four treasures of the study. In ancient times, teachers were usually very knowledgeable local persons. Parents would prepare many gifts, and then write a letter of invitation to ask a knowledgeable man to be their children’s teacher. On the day their children entered school, parents would take them to take part in The First Writing Ceremony. Before that, children would kowtow (叩头) to the statue of Confucius (孔子像) 9 times and then to their teacher 3 times to show their deep respect. During the ceremony, the teacher would put a red point on the students’ forehead (前额) as it meant opening the wisdom eye. Children would ring a certain bell to start a new term. After that, they could finally sit down in their seats and begin to study. The First Writing Ceremony was a very important ceremony for every student. Every day, students would arrive at school earlier than their teacher, and kowtow to the statue of Confucius, and then go back to the seats. Usually the teacher would give every student a new name, which was used for future Imperial Examination (科举考试) . Today, some schools are starting to hold an entrance ceremony like they did in ancient times. Students put on traditional costumes and bow to the statue of Confucius and their teachers. This means that from this moment, they take a step in the lifelong journey of learning. 101. At what age did children begin school in ancient China? ________________________ 102.

I miss you very much and I want to make friends with you. Now I will tell you something about myself. I’m outgoing, so I enjoy making friends. I’m willing to help others and I’m humorous, often making my friends laugh. I like music most because it makes me feel relaxed, and music can also be a bridge for people to communicate, helping me know many people from different countries who speak different languages. My mother has influenced me the most. She not only teaches me how to speak and behave but also makes me understand the importance of loving my family through cooking for us every day. Now, I have difficulty in learning English as I can’t pronounce it correctly and I hope you can give me some advice.
