Meng Jiao enjoyed studying and he did well in writing. He became a popular poet (诗人) because of his hard work, but he was very poor. He needed to make more money. Then he decided to take the Imperial Examination (科举考试). Although Meng Jiao was hard-working, he failed twice. Meng Jiao didn’t give up. He studied harder and harder. Finally, he passed the examination in 796. Meng Jiao put on new clothes and tied (系) on red flowers to celebrate (庆祝). Then he rode on a horse through Chang’an City. During his ride, he was so happy that he wrote a poem (诗歌): In the roadway of Chang’an City, bathing in the spring breeze, and riding on the back of a fast-running horse, I can enjoy the beautiful flowers all in one day. All the difficulties and sorrows in the past have gone away. The poem tells about Meng Jiao’s feelings on that exciting day. But people say it would be impossible (不可能的) to enjoy everything in one day. This led to the idiom (成语) “seeing flowers while riding a horse swiftly.” It describes giving something a quick look without noticing the details (细节). 4. Why did Meng Jiao decide to take the Imperial Examination? A. He enjoyed studying. B. He needed to make more money. C He was good at writing poems. 5. What does the underlined word “failed” mean?

He needed to make more money. Then he decided to take the Imperial Examination (科举考试).”可知，孟郊决定参加科举考试是因为他需要赚更多的钱。故选B。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章“Although Meng Jiao was hard-working, he failed twice. Meng Jiao didn’t give up. He studied harder and harder. Finally, he passed the examination in 796.”可知，孟郊虽然努力，但两次都没有通过，之后他更加努力，最终通过了考试，由此可推断“failed”意为“失败”。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章“In Tang Dynasty, there was a man named Meng Jiao, who was born in 751 and died in 814.”以及“Finally, he passed the examination in 796.”可知，孟郊出生于751年，796年通过考试，796-751=45。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章“This led to the idiom (成语) ‘seeing flowers while riding a horse swiftly.’ It describes giving something a quick look without noticing the details (细节).”以及结合选项可知，“seeing flowers while riding a horse swiftly”对应的成语是“走马观花”，该成语形容粗略地观察事物，不注重细节。故选C。 (C) Saturday was a beautiful day. And there were flowers in all the gardens (花园). It was a day for everyone to be happy. Tom came out of his house with a brush and a big pot (桶) of white paint in his hand. He looked at the fence (栅栏). It was three meters high and 30 meters long. He put his brush in the paint and painted some of the fence. He did it again. Then he stopped and looked at the fence, put down his brush and sat down. There were hours of work in front of him and he was the unhappiest boy in the village. After 10 minutes, Tom had a wonderful idea. He took up the brush again and began to work. He saw his friend Joe in the street, but he didn’t look at him. Joe had an apple in his hand. He came up to Tom and looked at the fence. “I’m sorry, Tom.” Tom said nothing. The paint brush moved up and down. “Working for your aunt?” said Joe. “I’m going down to the river. I’m sorry you can’t come with me.” Tom put down his brush. “You call this work?” he said. “Painting a fence?” said Joe. “Of course it is work!” “Maybe it is and maybe it isn’t. But I like it.” said Tom. “I can go to the river any day. I can’t paint a fence very often.” Joe watched Tom for five minutes. Tom painted very slowly and carefully. He often stopped, moved back from the fence and looked at his work with a smile. Joe said: “Tom, can I paint a little?” Tom thought for a second. “I’m sorry, Joe. You see, my aunt wants me to do it because I’m good at painting. My brother Sid wanted to paint, too. But she said no.” “Oh, please, Tom, just a little. I’m good at painting too. Hey, do you want some of my apple?” “No, Joe, I can’t ...” “OK, you can have all my apple!” Tom gave Joe the brush. He did not smile, but for the first time that day he was a very happy boy. He sat down and ate Joe’s apple. More friends came to laugh at Tom, but soon they all wanted to paint, too. By the afternoon, Tom had three balls, an old knife, a cat with one eye, an old blue bottle and a lot of other exciting things. He was the richest boy in St. Petersburg that afternoon. And the fence—all thirty meters of it—was a beautiful white. 8. How was the weather on Saturday? A. Fine. B. Rainy. C. Snowy. 9. How did Joe feel after watching Tom for five minutes? A. Afraid. B. Relaxed. C. Interested. 10. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Tom lived with his aunt. B. Tom painted all the fence by himself. C. Tom was always the richest boy in St. Petersburg. 11. What would Tom probably (很可能) do next? A. Tom will paint another fence. B. Tom will go home and do his homework. C. Tom will go out to play with his friends happily. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了周六天气晴朗，汤姆拿着刷子和一桶白色油漆准备刷栅栏，一开始他觉得这是辛苦的工作很不开心，后来他通过巧妙的方式让朋友们都想来刷栅栏，最后汤姆不仅得到了很多东西，栅栏也被刷好了，他成了那天下午圣彼得堡最富有的男孩。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Saturday was a beautiful day.”可知，周六天气很好，“Fine”表示天气好，故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Joe watched Tom for five minutes. Tom painted very slowly and carefully. He often stopped, moved back from the fence and looked at his work with a smile. Joe said: ‘Tom, can I paint a little?’”可知，乔看了汤姆五分钟，汤姆刷得很慢很仔细，还经常停下来微笑着看自己的工作，然后乔问能不能也刷一点，由此可推断出乔对汤姆刷栅栏这件事感兴趣，故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Working for your aunt?”以及“my aunt wants me to do it because I’m good at painting.”可知，汤姆和姑姑住在一起，故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据“He was the richest boy in St. Petersburg that afternoon. And the fence – all thirty meters of it—was a beautiful white.”以及前文汤姆通过让朋友们刷栅栏得到了很多东西，可推断出栅栏刷好后，汤姆会开心地和朋友们出去玩，故选C。 第二节 （共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分） 阅读下面的短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项是多余选项。 Do you see the spider in the picture?

According to a survey, for about over 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas (地区) such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the Wu dialect, and young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. The dialects are in danger of disappearing (消失). Primary school students in Changsha, Hunan province have started to learn Changsha dialect in an elective course (选修课) newly offered by the school this term. More than 20 third-grade students from the Affiliated Primary School of Hunan Normal University (湖南师范大学附属小学) have signed up (报名) for the course. Many language professors (教授) at universities are teaching the course. “As our country has spent a lot promoting (促进) Putonghua, lots of young children have not learned how to speak local dialects. That’s why the country has started to protect different language resources in these years.” according to Luo Xinru, Chinese language professor at Hunan Normal University and one of the teachers of the course. “The Ministry of Education carried out the National Language Resource Protection Project (中国语言资源保护工程) in 2015. It has helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world.” “Besides the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing, students will also learn about the idioms, nursery rhymes (童谣), figures of speech (修辞手法) and culture behind the dialect.” “A dialect is as important as Putonghua. It’s necessary for us to take action to protect dialects. Dialects are a key to store local cultures. Language clearly shows the history and beliefs of an area.” 36.

(B) In the Tang Dynasty, there was a man named Meng Jiao, who was born in 751 and died in 814. Meng Jiao enjoyed studying and he did well in writing. He became a popular poet (诗人) because of his hard work, but he was very poor. He needed to make more money. Then he decided to take the Imperial Examination (科举考试). Although Meng Jiao was hard-working, he failed twice. Meng Jiao didn’t give up. He studied harder and harder. Finally, he passed the examination in 796. Meng Jiao put on new clothes and tied (系) on red flowers to celebrate (庆祝). Then he rode on a horse through Chang’an City. During his ride, he was so happy that he wrote a poem (诗歌): In the roadway of Chang’an City, bathing in the spring breeze, and riding on the back of a fast-running horse, I can enjoy the beautiful flowers all in one day. All the difficulties and sorrows in the past have gone away. The poem tells about Meng Jiao’s feelings on that exciting day. But people say it would be impossible (不可能) to enjoy everything in one day. This led to the idiom (成语) “seeing flowers while riding a horse swiftly.” It describes giving something a quick look without noticing the details (细节). 4. Why did Meng Jiao decide to take the Imperial Examination? A. He enjoyed studying. B. He needed to make more money. C. He was good at writing poems. 5. What does the underlined word “failed” mean? A. 破产 B. 失败 C. 忘记 6. How old was Meng Jiao when he finally passed the examination? A. 45. B. 54. C. 63. 7 Which story comes from the passage? A. 一日千里 B. 不拘小节 C. 走马观花 (C) Saturday was a beautiful day. And there were flowers in all the gardens (花园). It was a day for everyone to be happy. Tom came out of his house with a brush and a big pot (桶) of white paint in his hand. He looked at the fence (栅栏). It was three meters high and 30 meters long. He put his brush in the paint and painted some of the fence. He did it again. Then he stopped and looked at the fence, put down his brush and sat down. There were hours of work in front of him and he was the unhappiest boy in the village. After 10 minutes, Tom had a wonderful idea. He took up the brush again and began to work. He saw his friend Joe in the street, but he didn’t look at him. Joe had an apple in his hand. He came up to Tom and looked at the fence. “I’m sorry, Tom.” Tom said nothing. The paint brush moved up and down. “Working for your aunt?” said Joe. “I’m going down to the river. I’m sorry you can’t come with me.” Tom put down his brush. “You call this work?” he said. “Painting a fence?” said Joe. “Of course it is work!” “Maybe it is and maybe it isn’t. But I like it.” said Tom. “I can go to the river any day. I can’t paint a fence very often.” Joe watched Tom for five minutes. Tom painted very slowly and carefully. He often stopped, moved back from the fence and looked at his work with a smile. Joe said: “Tom, can I paint a little?” Tom thought for a second. “I’m sorry, Joe. You see, my aunt wants me to do it because I’m good at painting. My brother Sid wanted to paint, too. But she said no.” “Oh, please, Tom, just a little. I’m good at painting too. Hey, do you want some of my apple?” “No, Joe, I can’t ...” “OK, you can have all my apple!” Tom gave Joe the brush. He did not smile, but for the first time that day he was a very happy boy. He sat down and ate Joe’s apple. More friends came to laugh at Tom, but soon they all wanted to paint, too. By the afternoon, Tom had three balls, an old knife, a cat with one eye, an old blue bottle and a lot of other exciting things. He was the richest boy in St. Petersburg that afternoon. And the fence—all thirty meters of it—was a beautiful white. 8. How was the weather on Saturday? A. Fine. B. Rainy. C. Snowy. 9. How did Joe feel after watching Tom for five minutes? A. Afraid. B. Relaxed. C. Interested. 10. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Tom lived with his aunt. B. Tom painted all the fence by himself. C. Tom was always the richest boy in St. Petersburg. 11. What would Tom probably (很可能) do next? A. Tom will paint another fence. B. Tom will go home and do his homework. C.

According to a survey, for about over 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas (地区) such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the Wu dialect, and young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. The dialects are in danger of disappearing (消失). Primary school students in Changsha, Hunan province have started to learn Changsha dialect in an elective course (选修课) newly offered by the school this term. More than 20 third-grade students from the Affiliated Primary School of Hunan Normal University (湖南师范大学附属小学) have signed up (报名) for the course. Many language professors (教授) at universities are teaching the course. “As our country has spent a lot promoting (促进) Putonghua, lots of young children have not learned how to speak local dialects. That’s why the country has started to protect different language resources in these years.” according to Luo Xinru, Chinese language professor at Hunan Normal University and one of the teachers of the course. “The Ministry of Education carried out the National Language Resource Protection Project (中国语言资源保护工程) in 2015. It has helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world.” “Besides the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing, students will also learn about the idioms, nursery rhymes (童谣), figures of speech (修辞手法) and culture behind the dialect.” “A dialect is as important as Putonghua. It’s necessary for us to take action to protect dialects. Dialects are a key to store local cultures. Language clearly shows the history and beliefs of an area.” 36.
