I searched the Internet for everything: the route, the best time to visit, the weather and so on. And finally the big day came! My friends Janice and Devin came to my home early that Saturday. My mum would drive us to the Point Reyes National Seashore first. We set out early. We three kids’ laughter filled the small car. But about 20 minutes after we set out, it started to rain. And it seemed the rain wouldn’t stop soon. The drive was slow in the morning rain. “The rain is ruining everything. I don’t want to go on anymore.” Janice chipped. Devin nodded, “Yeah, who wants to walk in the rain anyway? It’s not fun at all.” Mum looked at the kids and said gently, “Come on, kids. Let’s look at this in a different way. The rain might stop soon. Or maybe we’ll see something we wouldn’t on a sunny day. Just hold on a little longer, okay?” Later, when we arrived at the Point Reyes National Seashore, the sun came out through the clouds. It made us happy. As we walked along the Coast Trail, we sang a lot. The view along the way was fantastic. Devin told us excitedly, “I saw a group of whales in the sea!” After we walked for an hour, we were nearly there. The idea of climbing down to the beach below made us on pins and needles at first. There were many stones under our feet. We were afraid there was no clear path to hold onto. Although the cliff looked steep (陡峭), Mum said cheerfully, “Don’t worry, I’m sure we can find a way down. The view from the beach will be amazing!” Then, Mum found a safe route down the rocky cliff (岩石峭壁). “See?” she said with a smile, “There’s always a way if we keep positive!” The route went smoothly through the rocks so we walked fast without falling and got to the sand quickly. From the beach, we finally saw it: Alamere Falls. This great waterfall dropped 12 metres straight down! 31. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1? A.

But how much do you know about its author, Song Yingxing? Song was a great scientist during the late Ming dynasty. He was born into an ordinary family in 1587 and had a happy childhood. He and his brother Song Yingsheng went to school together. Both of them were very intelligent. Song won the third place while his brother won the sixth in the provincial Imperial Exam (乡级科举考试). Later, Song and his brother took the national Imperial Exam, but they both failed. They had no choice but to work for the provincial government. Song worked as a teacher for many years. Meanwhile, he took the national Imperial Exam for another four times. Unluckily, he never achieved success. After going to the capital for some times, he learned about many technologies in different fields. His wide knowledge allowed him to create Tiangong Kaiwu in the 1630s. The name of the Chinese encyclopedia is about people using the wealth (财富) of nature with the help of technologies. It talks about technologies in a clear way. There are also many pictures to help with the understanding of the text. The encyclopedia became popular soon after it was produced and sold to the public. The Ming dynasty fell in 1644 but Song and his brother refused to work for the new Qing government and gave up their jobs. Song lived a poor life until the day he died. In his final years, he wrote many articles and poems against the Qing government. Tens of years later, some Qing officials found these articles and poems. They were so angry that they destroyed all of Song’s works. Luckily, some people had spread Tiangong Kaiwu to many other countries, though it didn’t find its way back to China until the end of the Qing dynasty in 1911. Finally, Chinese people could be impressed by this great scientist again. 41. How many times did Song Yingxing take the national Imperial Exam? A. 1 B. 4 C. 5 D. 7 42. Why were the trips to the capital important to Song Yingxing? A. He learned a lot about practical scientific knowledge. B. He could fight for his dream together with his brother. C. He wrote many famous articles during the trips. D. He got important choices offered by the capital government. 43. What is Tiangong Kaiwu mainly about? A. Protecting nature’s wealth in a clear way. B. Drawing pictures to understand technologies. C. Using natural resources with technologies. D. Making more money by introducing technologies. 44. In what order did the following happen in Song Yingxing’s life? a. He wrote Tiangong Kaiwu in the 1630s. b. He won good places in the provincial exam. c. He lived a poor life during the Qing dynasty. d. His works were destroyed by the government. e. He tried several times in the national Imperial Exam. A. b-a-e-c-d B. b-e-a-c-d C. a-e-b-d-c D. a-b-e-d-c 45. Which words can best describe Song Yingxing? A. Kind and confident. B. Wise and honest. C. Positive and friendly. D.
