To help more people enjoy Beijing Opera, Ghaffar often teaches this traditional art in schools in the USA, Britain and other countries.

We wear warm clothes and, of course, eat some special foods. For me, a bowl of hot chicken noodles or tomato soup is the best dish for a cold winter’s evening at Grandma’s house in the US. Certainly, different countries and cities around the world have their special cold-weather foods. I now live in a Chinese city. There are some foods or drinks in the wintertime. I quite like them. ①________ Persimmons are a kind of fruit. They are orange-red in color and look like tomatoes. But they are sweeter than tomatoes. People can eat persimmons fresh or dry them to make persimmon cookies (柿饼). And as persimmons are sweet, you can also put them in other foods like porridge. ②________ Another food I like is the white radish, or bailuobo in Chinese. This vegetable looks common, but it is useful. People use it to make soups, cakes, and more. In the city I live in, there is a traditional food called youdunzi. People mix white radish with other things and then fry (油炸) them to make this dish. ③________ Something I like best in the wintertime isn’t food but a drink: Pu’er tea. While green tea is more popular in China in the summer, Pu’er tea is a favorite of many people in the winter. Workers need to follow some complicated processes (复杂的步骤) to make the tea. It has a great taste. 43. What can we know about the writer from the second paragraph? A He is in China now. B. He lives with his grandma now. C. He really loves chicken noodles. D. He can cook the best dish in his city. 44. How many ways to eat persimmons does the writer talk about in the passage? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 45. What’s the writer’s favorite in the winter? A. Persimmons. B. Chicken soup. C. White radishes. D. Pu’er tea. 46. What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Tomato soup. B. Pu’er tea. C. Green tea. D. The porridge. 47. Match the title with each part. a. Hot pot b. Persimmon c. White radish d. Pu’er tea e. Roast duck.

Although no one knows what is going to happen, we can predict that. By 2050, there will be at least 9 billion people in the world. And about 75% of the world’s people will be living in cities. Then there will be buildings touching the sky. Roads will be up to several floors. In the future, we will be using more technology devices (设备) than we do today, and computers will be many times faster than today. Self-flying cars will come in 2050, so there won’t be so many cars on the road. And self-driving cars will come, too. Now, self-driving trains are running in many rich countries. In this way, in the future, self-driving cars can make their place in some rich areas. What’s more, by 2050, 50% of jobs will also be lost because robots will be doing most of the work at that time. In 2050, people would like to spend their holidays on the Moon and Mars (火星), not in foreign countries. At that time, the Moon and Mars will be just like the Earth, with trees and plants. About this, NASA and many space companies (公司) are working on it. ________ Children will not have heavy bags on their backs. They will have computers in their hands. And at that time, blackboards will also be touch screens, so the teacher can draw any picture without using any chalk (粉笔). It is said that by 2050, we will be able to find aliens (外星人) and their planets. And the world will not end because at that time people of many countries will protect themselves before the aliens come. 48. By 2050, how many of the world’s people will be living in cities? A. About 9 billion. B. About 6.75 billion. C. About 7.5 billion. D. About 2.25 billion. 49. What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about? A. Where people would like to spend their holidays in 2050. B. Why people don’t spend their holidays on the Earth in 2050. C. How people go to the Moon and Mars for a holiday in 2050. D. What people will take for holiday on the Moon and Mars in 2050. 50. Choose the best sentence to fill in the blank “________” in Paragraph 5. A. In 2050, schools will remain the same as now. B. In 2050, schools will be very different from now. C. In 2050, people will be born with much knowledge. D. In 2050, there will be no students in the world. 51. What is the best title for this passage? A. How can people live a better life? B. What can people do for the nice life in 2050? C. What will the world of 2050 be like? D. Why do people want to drive new cars in 2050? 52. What’s the best structure of this passage? A. ①②/③④/⑤⑥ B. ①②③/④/⑤⑥ C. ①/②③④/⑤⑥ D. ①/②③④⑤⑥ 【答案】48. B 49. A 50. B 51. C 52. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要对2050年的世界进行了预测，包括人口分布、科技设备使用、交通方式、工作情况、度假地点、学校变化以及外星探索等方面。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据“By 2050, there will be at least 9 billion people in the world. And about 75% of the world’s people will be living in cities.”可知，到2050年世界至少有90亿人，其中约75%的人将生活在城市，所以到2050年大约67.5亿人将生活在城市。故选B。 【49题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“In 2050, people would like to spend their holidays on the Moon and Mars (火星), not in foreign countries.”以及后文提到NASA和许多太空公司正在为此努力，可推测该段主要讲的是2050年人们喜欢在哪里度假。故选A。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Children will not have heavy bags on their backs. They will have computers in their hands. And at that time, blackboards will also be touch screens, so the teacher can draw any picture without using any chalk (粉笔).”可知，孩子们不用背沉重的书包，手里会有电脑，黑板也会是触摸屏，老师不用粉笔就能画画，这些都表明2050年的学校和现在会很不一样，选项B符合语境。故选B。 【51题详解】 最佳标题题。本文主要对2050年的世界进行了预测，以选项C“2050年的世界会是什么样的？”作为标题最合适。故选C。 【52题详解】 篇章结构题。文章第一段引出对2050年未来的预测这一话题；第二至第六段分别从人口、科技设备、交通、工作、度假、学校、外星人等方面具体描述2050年的情况。所以文章结构是①/②③④⑤⑥。故选D。 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中使短文意思通顺结构完整，并在答题卡上将其序号涂黑。一空一句。 Hi, everyone.

B A British man learned the skills (技巧) to perform Beijing Opera. Ghaffar Pourazar, born in Iran, is interested in Chinese culture. In 1993, he happened to watch professionals (专业人士) from Beijing performing Beijing Opera in London. Ghaffar fell in love with their beautiful voices, colorful clothes and excellent shows. So after one year, he arrived in China and became a student of Beijing Opera at a school in Beijing. At the age of 32, he had to learn with children every day. For him, it was difficult to learn the dialogue (对话) in Beijing Opera and it was even his biggest obstacle. But he never gave up. Four years later, he started to perform the Monkey King, a traditional character from the Chinese story Journey to the West. He arrived at the workroom an hour earlier than other performers and also brought books and CDs to better understand (理解) the character. He once got a top prize for performing the Monkey King. To help more people enjoy Beijing Opera, Ghaffar often teaches this traditional art in schools in the USA, Britain and other countries. Ghaffar once led (带领) a group of actors to perform 66 times in a month and a half in the United States. In the past 10 years, he performed in more than 400 shows. 38. Put the following information about Ghaffar into right order according to the passage. a. He had to learn Beijing Opera with children every day b. He started to perform the traditional Chinese character the Monkey King. c. He watched professionals performing Beijing Opera in London. d. He started studying Beijing Opera at a school in Beijing. A. abcd. B. dcba. C. cdab. D. bdac. 39. What does the underlined word “obstacle” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. problem B. talent C. hope D. prize 40. Why did Ghaffar bring books and CDs to the workroom? A. Because he wanted to learn more about the Monkey King. B. Because he wanted to spend the waiting time quickly. C. Because other performers wanted to use them later. D. Because children there wanted to use them after practice. 41. Why did the writer list (列举) some numbers in the last paragraph? A. To tell us that Ghaffar practised Beijing Opera very hard. B. To show how Ghaffar helped more people enjoy Beijing Opera. C. To let us know why Ghaffar could get a top prize for performing. D. To let us know how Ghaffar could win a top prize for performing. 42. What’s the passage mainly about? A. British man learned to perform Beijing Opera. B. The traditional characters in Chinese stories. C. Useful ways to learn to perform Beijing Opera. D. The long history of Beijing Opera and its future. C As the weather gets cold, we all have our ways to keep warm. We wear warm clothes and, of course, eat some special foods. For me, a bowl of hot chicken noodles or tomato soup is the best dish for a cold winter’s evening at Grandma’s house in the US. Certainly, different countries and cities around the world have their special cold-weather foods. I now live in a Chinese city. There are some foods or drinks in the wintertime. I quite like them. ①________ Persimmons are a kind of fruit. They are orange-red in color and look like tomatoes. But they are sweeter than tomatoes. People can eat persimmons fresh or dry them to make persimmon cookies (柿饼). And as persimmons are sweet you can also put them in other foods like porridge. ②________ Another food I like is the white radish, or bailuobo in Chinese. This vegetable looks common, but it is useful. People use it to make soups, cakes, and more. In the city I live in, there is a traditional food called youdunzi. People mix white radish with other things and then fry (油炸) them to make this dish. ③________ Something I like best in the wintertime isn’t food but a drink: Pu’er tea. While green tea is more popular in China in the summer, Pu’er tea is a favorite of many people in the winter. Workers need to follow some complicated processes (复杂的步骤) to make the tea. It has a great taste. 43. What can we know about the writer from the second paragraph? A. He is in China now. B. He lives with his grandma now. C. He really loves chicken noodles. D. He can cook the best dish in his city. 44. How many ways to eat persimmons does the writer talk about in the passage? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 45. What’s the writer’s favorite in the winter? A. Persimmons. B. Chicken soup. C. White radishes. D. Pu’er tea. 46. What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Tomato soup. B.

Although no one knows what is going to happen, we can predict that. By 2050, there will be at least 9 billion people in the world. And about 75% of the world’s people will be living in cities. Then there will be buildings touching the sky. Roads will be up to several floors. In the future, we will be using more technology devices (设备) than we do today, and computers will be many times faster than today. Self-flying cars will come in 2050, so there won’t be so many cars on the road. And self-driving cars will come, too. Now, self-driving trains are running in many rich countries. In this way, in the future, self-driving cars can make their place in some rich areas. What’s more, by 2050, 50% of jobs will also be lost because robots will be doing most of the work at that time. In 2050, people would like to spend their holidays on the Moon and Mars (火星), not in foreign countries. At that time, the Moon and Mars will be just like the Earth, with trees and plants. About this, NASA and many space companies (公司) are working on it. ________ Children will not have heavy bags on their backs. They will have computers in their hands. And at that time, blackboards will also be touch screens, so the teacher can draw any picture without using any chalk (粉笔). It is said that by 2050, we will be able to find aliens (外星人) and their planets. And the world will not end because at that time people of many countries will protect themselves before the aliens come. 48. By 2050, how many of the world’s people will be living in cities?
