An Aloe Vera plant (芦荟) could be just what the scientists may suggest ②Growing Aloe Vera plants at home can make the air clean and fresh. Studies have shown that they give off oxygen (氧气) and take away harmful things from the air. With clean and fresh air, you are more likely to stay away from colds, sore throats and dry coughs. ③Did you know that Aloe Vera plants can be used as medicine? Aloe Vera gel (胶体) helps to relieve the pain of burns. And it also helps with itchiness (痒) caused by insect bites.

They mark the changing seasons and agricultural cycle. Among the 24 solar terms, Xiaoman, the eighth solar term, falls around May 20th each year. The name “Xiaoman” means “little full” in Chinese, showing the fact that the foods in the field are beginning to be full, but they are not yet ripe. It’s a time when farmers can watch their fields turn golden under the warm spring sun. They hope to have a good harvest soon in autumn. During Xiaoman, the weather gradually changes from spring to summer. The days become longer and hotter, and the rainfall increases, providing the necessary water for food growth. This period is important for farmers, as it can influence the quality of their harvest. A special custom related with Xiaoman is silkworm raising. Silkworm raising is an important way to make a living for people who live in the south of the Yangtze River, especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. The ancient Chinese believed that Xiaoman was the birthday of the god of the silkworm. Silkworms need to be taken good care of at this time of the year with the fresh mulberry (桑葚) leaves. It’s also regarded as the best time to cook cocoons (茧) and produce silk. Famous Chinese poets such as Li Bai and Du Fu from the Tang Dynasty, and Su Shi from the Song Dynasty all wrote poems that described the silkworm raising activities at that time. Today, it’s popular for Chinese children to raise white silkworms in a paper box, covered with fresh green mulberry leaves. For them, raising silkworms is not a way to make a living, but to see the magic of nature. It’s exciting to carefully watch the silkworms grow bigger and bigger, and finally become white cocoons. 8. What does the underlined word “ripe “in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Completely broken. B. Slowly changed. C. Fully grown. D. Nearly endangered. 9. Why does the writer mention the poems in Paragraph 4? A. To tell us there are a lot of famous poems in Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty. B. To stress the silkworms need to be carefully taken care of. C. To show silkworm raising is popular during Xiaoman in history. D. To explain the poets are good at writing different kinds of poems. 10. What does “them” in the last paragraph refer to? A. leaves B. Chinese children C. silkworms D. solar terms 11. What can we learn from the passage? A. The temperature drops day by day during Xiaoman. B. Xiaoman is the 4th solar term in a year. C. Farmers can have a good harvest during Xiaoman. D. Xiaoman is a good time for the foods in the field to grow. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了关于节气小满的信息。 【8题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“the foods in the field are beginning to be full, but they are not yet ripe”可知田里的食物已经开始饱满了，但还没有成熟，故此处划线部分和fully grown意义相近。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Famous Chinese poets such as Li Bai and Du Fu from the Tang Dynasty, and Su Shi from the Song Dynasty all wrote poems that described the silkworm raising activities at that time.”可知唐代的李白、杜甫、宋代的苏轼等中国著名诗人都写过描写当时养蚕活动的诗，故提到这些诗歌是为了展示在历史上，养蚕在小满时期是很流行的。故选C。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“it’s popular for Chinese children to raise white silkworms in a paper box, covered with fresh green mulberry leaves. For them, raising silkworms is not a way to make a living, but to see the magic of nature”可知中国孩子们喜欢在一个覆盖着新鲜绿色桑叶的纸盒里养白蚕，对他们来说，养蚕不是谋生的方式，而是看到大自然的魔力，故此处them指代“中国孩子”。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It’s a time when farmers can watch their fields turn golden under the warm spring sun”可知小满是农民们可以看着他们的田地在温暖的春日阳光下变成金色的时候，即小满是田里粮食生长的好时机。故选D。 D Does life sometimes seem to be full of impossible problems? How many times, for example, do you find yourself saying things like “I really don’t understand this math problem” or “I can’t get into the school team”? Well, maybe it’s time to introduce yourself to the power of “yet”. By adding this simple word, you can change everything. “I really don’t understand this math problem yet.” “I can’t get into the school team yet.” Suddenly, the impossible becomes possible. You can imagine those things happening. I read about a school that has changed the way it marks its students’ exams. The school found out that the old pass/fail system wasn’t helping with students motivation (积极性). If you passed, then great, but those students who didn’t pass often felt like failures. So now students who don’t pass the exams will not see a big red “F” on their papers; they see a “Not yet” instead. That way the students feel that they are on a journey. They haven’t reached the end, but they know that they are going the right way. This kind of thinking is part of what experts call “having a growth mindset”. People with a growth mindset don’t concentrate on failure. They aren’t worried by not getting things right the first time and are happy to keep trying until they do. They enjoy the challenge and believe they can change. In contrast, people who just focus on the failure have what the experts call “a fixed mindset”. These people are always worried about failure and are happy to give up when things don’t go right. They don’t think that they are able to change. Clearly, it is better to have a growth mindset than a fixed mindset. But don’t worry if you think that you have a fixed mindset. You can train yourself to develop a growth mindset. Remember that it all starts with questioning the things you believe about yourself. Stop believing that you can’t or haven’t and realize that you just can’t or haven’t yet. Once you start doing this, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it before. It’s one small but very powerful word. 12. When should we use the simple word “yet”? A. When we have trouble. B. When we win an important game. C. When we meet our old friends. D. When we study in a foreign country. 13. The example in Paragraph 2 is to ________. A. express a feeling B. describe a problem C. show the result D. support the topic 14. According to the passage, which one of the following has “a growth mindset”? A. Jack got an “A” in the exam. He was quite happy to tell his parents. B. David failed in a competition, but he stays confident and keeps trying. C. Jenny found it hard to work out the math problem, so she gave it up. D. Emma was refused by the school team. She didn’t want to have another try. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. The power of “yet” B. Two different mindsets C. Nothing is impossible D. On the way to success 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲的是“yet”一词的影响力。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Does life sometimes seem to be full of impossible problems...maybe it’s time to introduce yourself to the power of ‘yet’”可知当生活中充满了不可能的问题时，是时候向自己介绍“yet”的力量，可推知当我们有麻烦时，我们可以使用“yet”。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Well, maybe it’s time to introduce yourself to the power of ‘yet’. By adding this simple word, you can change everything.”和“I read about a school that has changed the way it marks its students’ exams. The school find out that the old pass/fail system wasn’t helping students’ motivation (积极性)...They haven’t reached the end, but they know that they are going the right way.”可知，第二段通过介绍“yet”的运用，可以改变成绩不合格的学生思维方式，以此来证明作者的观点。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据“People with a growth mindset don’t concentrate on failure. They aren’t worried by not getting things right the first time and are happy to keep trying until they do”可知有成长心态的人不会专注于失败，他们不担心第一次做得不对，也很乐意继续努力，直到做到为止，故选项B“大卫在一场比赛中失败了，但他保持自信，不断尝试”中的大卫具有“成长心态”，故选B。 【15题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲的是“yet”一词的影响力，故选A。 第二节 任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面文章，然后从文后所给的A—E五个选项中选择正确的选项（其中一项是多余），将其序号填入1—4小题，并回答5小题。 If you plan a trip during summer holiday, certainly you will share some photos on WeChat. ____16____ Don’t worry!

Better yet, it can be made into different creatures. Let’s see how. ①Put your hand into a sock Your fingers and thumb are in the “toe” part. The back of your wrist is in the “heel” part. ②Make a slit (切口) in the sock between your thumb and fingers for your puppet’s mouth. ③Cut two ovals (椭圆形), one of poster board and one of fabric (织物). ④Stick the fabric oval to the poster board oval with white glue. ⑤Once the glue is dried, fold them in half. ⑥Sew (缝) the folded oval into your sock. Now, your puppet can talk. What your puppet becomes depends on you. Think of how to make eyes, hair, ears, hats, beards, noses, ties, shirts and dressers for your puppet. 1. What is the slit in the sock used for? A. Sewing beards for the sock puppet. B. Making the eyes of the sock puppet. C. Making the mouth of the sock puppet. D. Letting the fingers of the sock puppet out. 2. The underlined sentence suggests that making a sock puppet is a ________ activity. A. creative B. tiring C. dangerous D. fun 3. What’s the purpose of the passage? A. To tell us the importance of socks. B. To show us what a puppet looks like. C. To introduce us a different kind of socks. D. To teach us how to make a puppet with a sock. B ①Would you like to get fewer colds and feel better? Would you like to have a taste of a special plant? Would you like to keep a plant with little care? An Aloe Vera plant (芦荟) could be just what the scientists may suggest ②Growing Aloe Vera plants at home can make the air clean and fresh. Studies have shown that they give off oxygen (氧气) and take away harmful things from the air. With clean and fresh air, you are more likely to stay away from colds, sore throats and dry coughs. ③Did you know that Aloe Vera plants can be used as medicine? Aloe Vera gel (胶体) helps to relieve the pain of burns. And it also helps with itchiness (痒) caused by insect bites. To get this gel, just cut off a part of the plant, peel it, and put the gel on the affected skin (患处). ④Apart from medical use, Aloe Vera plants are also popular in the food industry. Whether you are interested in Aloe juice or crazy about Aloe yogurt, you’ll easily find them in the supermarket. Aloe Vera can also go with other vegetables to make a safe dish on your dinner table. ⑤________ They like dry, warm air with bright light, so they grow best when placed near a window. Aloe Vera plants are able to keep water in their leaves. So, they do not need to be watered so often as most houseplants. Just wait until the earth is completely dry before you water them. When watering, make sure the earth is wet enough so that it can last for a long time. That’s all you need to do to take care of an Aloe Vera plant. Isn’t it the perfect plant for lazy and forgetful gardeners? 4. How does the writer introduce the topic in paragraph 1? A. By telling stories. B. By listing numbers. C. By giving examples. D.

Aloe Vera plants are very easy to take care of. C. Aloe Vera plants can serve as a delicious dish. D. Aloe Vera plants are good-looking houseplants. 7. What’s the structure of the passage? A B. C. D. C The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. They mark the changing seasons and agricultural cycle. Among the 24 solar terms, Xiaoman, the eighth solar term, falls around May 20th each year. The name “Xiaoman” means “little full” in Chinese, showing the fact that the foods in the field are beginning to be full, but they are not yet ripe. It’s a time when farmers can watch their fields turn golden under the warm spring sun. They hope to have a good harvest soon in autumn. During Xiaoman, the weather gradually changes from spring to summer. The days become longer and hotter, and the rainfall increases, providing the necessary water for food growth. This period is important for farmers, as it can influence the quality of their harvest. A special custom related with Xiaoman is silkworm raising. Silkworm raising is an important way to make a living for people who live in the south of the Yangtze River, especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. The ancient Chinese believed that Xiaoman was the birthday of the god of the silkworm. Silkworms need to be taken good care of at this time of the year with the fresh mulberry (桑葚) leaves. It’s also regarded as the best time to cook cocoons (茧) and produce silk. Famous Chinese poets such as Li Bai and Du Fu from the Tang Dynasty, and Su Shi from the Song Dynasty all wrote poems that described the silkworm raising activities at that time. Today, it’s popular for Chinese children to raise white silkworms in a paper box, covered with fresh green mulberry leaves. For them, raising silkworms is not a way to make a living, but to see the magic of nature. It’s exciting to carefully watch the silkworms grow bigger and bigger, and finally become white cocoons. 8. What does the underlined word “ripe “in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Completely broken. B. Slowly changed. C. Fully grown. D. Nearly endangered. 9. Why does the writer mention the poems in Paragraph 4? A. To tell us there are a lot of famous poems in Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty. B. To stress the silkworms need to be carefully taken care of. C. To show silkworm raising is popular during Xiaoman in history. D To explain the poets are good at writing different kinds of poems. 10. What does “them” in the last paragraph refer to? A. leaves B. Chinese children C. silkworms D. solar terms 11. What can we learn from the passage? A. The temperature drops day by day during Xiaoman. B. Xiaoman is the 4th solar term in a year. C. Farmers can have a good harvest during Xiaoman. D. Xiaoman is a good time for the foods in the field to grow. D Does life sometimes seem to be full of impossible problems? How many times, for example, do you find yourself saying things like “I really don’t understand this math problem” or “I can’t get into the school team”? Well, maybe it’s time to introduce yourself to the power of “yet”. By adding this simple word, you can change everything. “I really don’t understand this math problem yet.” “I can’t get into the school team yet.” Suddenly, the impossible becomes possible. You can imagine those things happening. I read about a school that has changed the way it marks its students’ exams. The school found out that the old pass/fail system wasn’t helping with students motivation (积极性). If you passed, then great, but those students who didn’t pass often felt like failures. So now students who don’t pass the exams will not see a big red “F” on their papers; they see a “Not yet” instead. That way the students feel that they are on a journey. They haven’t reached the end, but they know that they are going the right way. This kind of thinking is part of what experts call “having a growth mindset”. People with a growth mindset don’t concentrate on failure. They aren’t worried by not getting things right the first time and are happy to keep trying until they do. They enjoy the challenge and believe they can change. In contrast, people who just focus on the failure have what the experts call “a fixed mindset”. These people are always worried about failure and are happy to give up when things don’t go right. They don’t think that they are able to change. Clearly, it is better to have a growth mindset than a fixed mindset. But don’t worry if you think that you have a fixed mindset. You can train yourself to develop a growth mindset. Remember that it all starts with questioning the things you believe about yourself. Stop believing that you can’t or haven’t and realize that you just can’t or haven’t yet. Once you start doing this, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it before. It’s one small but very powerful word. 12. When should we use the simple word “yet”? A. When we have trouble. B. When we win an important game. C. When we meet our old friends. D. When we study in a foreign country. 13. The example in Paragraph 2 is to ________. A. express a feeling B. describe a problem C. show the result D. support the topic 14. According to the passage, which one of the following has “a growth mindset”? A. Jack got an “A” in the exam. He was quite happy to tell his parents. B. David failed in a competition, but he stays confident and keeps trying. C. Jenny found it hard to work out the math problem, so she gave it up. D. Emma was refused by the school team. She didn’t want to have another try. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. The power of “yet” B. Two different mindsets C. Nothing is impossible D. On the way to success 第二节 任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面文章，然后从文后所给的A—E五个选项中选择正确的选项（其中一项是多余），将其序号填入1—4小题，并回答5小题。 If you plan a trip during summer holiday, certainly you will share some photos on WeChat. ____16____ Don’t worry!
