His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn’t give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poems and sports.
Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time only children from noble families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime.
Today, people still follow Confucius’ lessons. He told us that we all have something worthy (值得的) to be learned. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them.”
He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled (困惑的). All thinking but no study makes people lazy.”

Protect the Yangtze
You may have heard the saying “The Yangtze River is China’s mother river.” The main route of the Yangtze is almost 6,400 km long. As the world’s third-longest river, its valley (流域) covers one-fifth of China’s land area. The Yangtze River Economic Zone (长江经济带) covers 11 provinces and cities, making up about 40 percent of China’s total population and GDP.
On Dec. 26, China’s top legislature (立法机关) passed the Yangtze River Protection Law, which would take effect on March 1, 2021. It is the first law to protect a waterway in China, CGTN noted.
The “mother river” is in great need of protection because something is wrong with it. For example, due to overfishing and water pollution, the river’s Chinese paddlefish (白鲟) has died out after surviving for 150 million years. There are also desertified (荒漠化的) land and soil pollution near the upstream part of the river in Qinghai Province, Xinhua reported.
The Yangtze River Protection Law includes bans (禁止) on activities that could damage the river. It also includes heavier punishments for those who don’t follow the law.
According to the law, fishing will be banned in all of the Yangtze’s natural waterways, including its major tributaries (支流) and lakes. Those who are caught fishing will be fined 50,000 to 500,000 yuan.
Sand mining (采砂) will be strictly limited in the river valley. Many companies are mining sand along the river, as sand is a rare resource. However, this has led to lower water levels on the river, which has caused the river’s water quality to decline.
Companies operating along the river will need to focus on green development. Companies that produce dangerous chemicals will be relocated (搬迁), the law says.
13. What does the first paragraph tell us about the Yangtze River?
A. How old it is. B. What its environment is like.
C. Why it’s important. D. What problems it has.
14. What does Paragraph 3 explain?
A. Why the river needs protection. B. How the river is being polluted.
C. How Chinese paddlefish died out. D. How the river will be protected.
15. What does the word “decline” in the second-to-last paragraph mean?
A. Disappear. B. Become worse. C. Be hard to test. D. Be easy to control.
16. What do we know from the story?
A. People can’t fish in the river’s major lakes.
B. Sand mining will not be allowed in the river valley.
C. Some dangerous companies along the river will be moved to other places.
D. Anyone who causes pollution will be fined at least 50,000 yuan.
【答案】13. C 14. A 15. B 16. A
【解析】

【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据“As the world’s third-longest river, its valley (流域) covers one-fifth of China’s land area. The Yangtze River Economic Zone (长江经济带) covers 11 provinces and cities, making up about 40 percent of China’s total population and GDP.”可知,作为世界第三长河,长江流域覆盖了中国约五分之一的国土面积。长江经济带涵盖11个省市,其人口和经济总量均占全国的40%左右。因此,本段主要介绍了长江的重要性。故选C。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据“The ‘mother river’ is in great need of protection because something is wrong with it”及后文列举的白鲟灭绝、土地荒漠化等例子可知,第三段主要解释了为什么长江需要保护。故选A。

词句猜测题。根据“this has led to lower water levels on the river, which has caused the river’s water quality to decline.”和选项可推知,此处应表示水位下降导致了水质下降,所以decline与become worse“变差”同义。故选B。
【16题详解】

Something bad or unexpected can happen when people send up a self-controlled flying machine like a drone without knowing how to really control it.

At a sports event, drones can be used to give the spectators (观众) a view from above or help coaches see how their players are doing. They are also becoming a useful tool for firefighters, helping them find and fight wildfires. Drones can watch secretly on populations of animals in the wild, especially endangered ones.
In some faraway places in the world, drones are the fastest way to send medicine to people who are in great need of it. Some people think drones can only be used by governments to help when needed. Others think that if rules are obeyed, there should be little risk to people and property (财产).

One summer morning, it was very hot. I saw an elderly neighbor carrying heavy boxes. She was struggling alone, so I offered to help. I helped her carry the boxes into her house. After that, she thanked me and offered me a cold drink. She told me that her children worked in another city, so she had to do everything by herself.
Though it was a small action, her gratitude made me feel truly happy. I learned that helping others brings real joy and warmth.

Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? Many people will think of Confucius (孔子), whose birthday was September 28. Although he lived over 2,000 years ago, people still remember and respect him for his contribution (贡献) to education today.
Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period (春秋时代). He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn’t give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poems and sports.
Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time only children from noble families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime.
Today, people still follow Confucius’ lessons. He told us that we all have something worthy (值得的) to be learned. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them.”
He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled (困惑的). All thinking but no study makes people lazy.”
Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners (礼仪). “A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others.” he said.
9. Why do people still remember Confucius?

Protect the Yangtze
You may have heard the saying “The Yangtze River is China’s mother river.” The main route of the Yangtze is almost 6,400 km long. As the world’s third-longest river, its valley (流域) covers one-fifth of China’s land area. The Yangtze River Economic Zone (长江经济带) covers 11 provinces and cities, making up about 40 percent of China’s total population and GDP.
On Dec. 26, China’s top legislature (立法机关) passed the Yangtze River Protection Law, which would take effect on March 1, 2021. It is the first law to protect a waterway in China, CGTN noted.
The “mother river” is in great need of protection because something is wrong with it. For example, due to overfishing and water pollution, the river’s Chinese paddlefish (白鲟) has died out after surviving for 150 million years. There are also desertified (荒漠化的) land and soil pollution near the upstream part of the river in Qinghai Province, Xinhua reported.
The Yangtze River Protection Law includes bans (禁止) on activities that could damage the river. It also includes heavier punishments for those who don’t follow the law.
According to the law, fishing will be banned in all of the Yangtze’s natural waterways, including its major tributaries (支流) and lakes. Those who are caught fishing will be fined 50,000 to 500,000 yuan.
Sand mining (采砂) will be strictly limited in the river valley. Many companies are mining sand along the river, as sand is a rare resource. However, this has led to lower water levels on the river, which has caused the river’s water quality to decline.
Companies operating along the river will need to focus on green development. Companies that produce dangerous chemicals will be relocated (搬迁), the law says.
13. What does the first paragraph tell us about the Yangtze River?
A. How old it is. B. What its environment is like.
C. Why it’s important. D. What problems it has.
14. What does Paragraph 3 explain?
A. Why the river needs protection. B. How the river is being polluted.
C. How Chinese paddlefish died out. D. How the river will be protected.
15. What does the word “decline” in the second-to-last paragraph mean?
A. Disappear. B. Become worse. C. Be hard to test. D. Be easy to control.
16. What do we know from the story?
A. People can’t fish in the river’s major lakes.
B Sand mining will not be allowed in the river valley.
C. Some dangerous companies along the river will be moved to other places.
D. Anyone who causes pollution will be fined at least 50,000 yuan.

Drones are like airplanes, only without a pilot. No one without a pilot’s license should be allowed to have one except the drones under 7 kilograms with the flying height of 120 meters below and visual range within 500 meters.
Something bad or unexpected can happen when people send up a self-controlled flying machine like a drone without knowing how to really control it. Drones may fly away, and be caught up on a jet stream (喷气流) and blown away. A falling drone can do much damage (损害) to buildings and people. Though drones can be harmful, they can be very helpful.
At a sports event, drones can be used to give the spectators (观众) a view from above or help coaches see how their players are doing. They are also becoming a useful tool for firefighters, helping them find and fight wildfires. Drones can watch secretly on populations of animals in the wild, especially endangered ones.
In some faraway places in the world, drones are the fastest way to send medicine to people who are in great need of it. Some people think drones can only be used by governments to help when needed. Others think that if rules are obeyed, there should be little risk to people and property (财产).
