The book caught my eye and made me think about my home city, Beijing, and its past. Meyer’s writing takes us back to Beijing about 20 years ago. In 2005, Meyer moved into Dashilan, one of Beijing’s oldest neighborhoods, on one of its hutongs. There he taught English at a local(当地的)school and lived with local people. This helped him to get close to the local culture. In the book, he describes the hutongs and the shouts of street sellers. Meyer saw some of the great changes in this neighborhood. The old houses made way for tall buildings, supermarkets and other modern buildings. However, some parts of old Beijing’s culture stayed strong in the face of fast change. People still kept traditional activities like putting up Spring Festival couplets(对联)and ate traditional food on special days. I was born in Beijing in the 2010s, so I know more about the city’s modern side. Reading The Last Days of Old Beijing opened my eyes to new sides of the city. The life in the old neighborhoods touched my heart. It made me think about how we can keep our traditional activities while also moving forward with changes. 4. What do we know about Meyer? A. He works in a library in Beijing. B. He is a great writer from the UK. C. He moved into Dashilan in 2010. D. He was once an English teacher in Beijing. 5.

Let’s take a look at how things used to be in the past and what they are like now. Firstly, the way we communicate has changed a lot. In the past, people used to keep in touch with their relatives and friends by writing letters. Writing and sending a letter could take days or even weeks. However, now with the development of technology, we can quickly connect with anyone around the world through emails, social medias and video calls. This has made our lives much more convenient and interconnected. Secondly, our entertainment ways have also seen a great change. In the past, people used to listen to the radio and watch TV for entertainment. They would listen to the radio for news and music, and watch TV programs when they were free. Nowadays, we have many new ways to enjoy ourselves on our smartphones, tablets(平板)and computers. Streaming(流媒体)services like Netflix and Spotify provide us with endless hours of movies, TV shows, and music. What’s more, the way we travel has also changed. In the past, public transportation was the most common travel for most people. Trains, buses, and bicycles were common on the roads. Nowadays, with the rise of private cars and ride-sharing apps, people have more choices when it comes to traveling. Many families now own cars and some even prefer to use electric or hybrid(混合动力)vehicles for a more environmentally friendly travel. Lastly, our living environment has also improved much. In the past, many families lived in small and crowded houses with limited conveniences. However, today, more and more people are moving into large and well-decorated apartments and houses. The quality of life has improved, and people now can get better healthcare and education more easily. In general, the changes that have taken place in our lives over the past few years are truly remarkable. From communication to entertainment, travel, and living environments, we live better and better. 8. What has changed greatly in the last few years according to the passage? A. Our work environments. B. Our communication ways. C. Our food habits. D. Our clothing styles. 9. ________ is NOT mentioned as an entertainment choice in the past. A. Radio B. Television C. Streaming services D. Music 10. According to the passage, which of the following statements about living environments is true? A. People lived in large and well-decorated houses in the past. B. Today, people can have better healthcare and education. C. The quality of life has become worse over the years. D. Many families still live in crowded and small houses today. 11. What’s the best title of this passage? A. Great Changes in Our Life B. We Can Travel Better C. Great Changes in Entertainment D. Ways to Live Better 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. A 【导语】本文主要介绍了过去生活和现在生活的变化。 8. 细节理解题。根据“Firstly, the way we communicate has changed a lot. ”可知，交流方式在过去几年变化显著，故选B。 9. 细节理解题。根据文章第三段可得知，过去的娱乐方式包括收音机和电视，听音乐，但并未提及流媒体服务，故选C。 10. 细节理解题。根据“people now can get better healthcare and education more easily.”可知，如今人们能够获得更好的医疗和教育服务，故选B。 11. 主旨大意题(最佳标题)。根据“Let’s take a look at how things used to be in the past and what they are like now.”及文章的内容可知，本文主要介绍了过去生活和现在生活的变化，故最佳标题为“Great Changes in Our Life”，故选A。 D Great changes have taken place in our lives in the last century. Here are some examples: Firstly, people were not able to travel such a long distance in such a short time in the past. Planes were not very popular at that time because they used to be a very expensive way to travel. Nowadays, we have fast and comfortable cars, and more and more people can travel by plane. Secondly, in the past, people had to work much harder because they did not have the tools that we have today. Today, machines do most of the difficult and dangerous work. Thirdly, the living conditions in the past were not as good as they are now. There were no bathrooms or running water in many houses, and many people couldn’t buy the things like refrigerators, TV sets or washing machines. Now, most families have several of these things. And many families have computers, cars and so on. Finally, nowadays, more and more people have the chance to get a good education. In the past, there were fewer schools and quality of education was much poorer. Now people can also study on the Internet at home. The development of science and technology in the world is amazing. Life now is much faster and busier than it used to be. And we are still creating new things to make our lives better and easier. 12. The underlined word “they” refers to ________. A. planes B. cars C. people D. children 13. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us? A. The people in the past were hard-working. B. Machines can help us do dangerous and difficult work now. C. The people now are too lazy to do difficult work. D. Machines were too expensive in the past. 14. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. All the people couldn’t use running water in the past. B. People sometimes went to the movies in the past. C. People didn’t watch TV at all in the past. D. Some people could afford washing machines to wash their clothes in the past. 15. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage? A. Living conditions. B. Ways to travel. C. Education. D. Sports. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕旅行、工作强度、生活条件和教育等方面来介绍过去和现在发生的变化。 12. 词义猜测题(代词的指代)。根据“Planes were not very popular at that time because they used to be a very expensive way to travel.”可知，飞机在那个时候不是很受欢迎，所以乘飞机是一种非常昂贵的旅行方式；据此可以推断，划线单词“they”指上文提到的“planes”，故选A。 13. 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Today, machines do most of the difficult and dangerous work.”可知，过去没有现在的这些工具，如今机器可以做大多数困难和危险的工作，故选B。 14. 推理判断题。根据第四段“There were no bathrooms or running water in many houses, and many people couldn’t buy the things like refrigerators, TV sets or washing machines.”可知，许多房子没有浴室或自来水，许多人买不起冰箱、电视机或洗衣机之类的东西；据此可以推断，过去不是所有人或所有家庭都买不起这类家用电器。换句话说，过去还是会有部分家庭有能力买得起洗衣机的，故选 D。 选项 A：原文表述为 There were no bathrooms or running water in many houses，强调的是许多房子没有自来水，而非all the people(所有人)，“all” 一词表述过于绝对。选项 B：全文围绕交通方式、工作方式、生活条件和教育四个方面展开，未提及“看电影”相关内容，B 属于无中生有。选项 C：原文提到 many people couldn’t buy the things like... TV sets，意思是很多人买不起电视机，而非“人们完全不看电视”。 15. 细节理解题。综合全文可知，本文主要围绕旅行、工作强度、生活条件和教育等方面来介绍过去和现在发生的变化，文章没有提到体育运动的变化情况，故选D。 E 阅读下面对话，从下列7个选项中选择5个恰当的句子完成此对话。 At first, I thought Zaozhuang, Shandong, was a quiet, old city.

B One lazy afternoon in a library, I found a book called The Last Days of Old Beijing by US writer Michael Meyer. The book caught my eye and made me think about my home city, Beijing, and its past. Meyer’s writing takes us back to Beijing about 20 years ago. In 2005, Meyer moved into Dashilan, one of Beijing’s oldest neighborhoods, on one of its hutongs. There he taught English at a local(当地的)school and lived with local people. This helped him to get close to the local culture. In the book, he describes the hutongs and the shouts of street sellers. Meyer saw some of the great changes in this neighborhood. The old houses made way for tall buildings, supermarkets and other modern buildings. However, some parts of old Beijing’s culture stayed strong in the face of fast change. People still kept traditional activities like putting up Spring Festival couplets(对联)and ate traditional food on special days. I was born in Beijing in the 2010s, so I know more about the city’s modern side. Reading The Last Days of Old Beijing opened my eyes to new sides of the city. The life in the old neighborhoods touched my heart. It made me think about how we can keep our traditional activities while also moving forward with changes. 4. What do we know about Meyer? A. He works in a library in Beijing. B. He is a great writer from the UK. C. He moved into Dashilan in 2010. D. He was once an English teacher in Beijing. 5. The writer mentions(提到)The Last Days of Old Beijing to show us ________. A. how successful Meyer is B. how to keep local culture in Beijing C. what makes Beijing change so much D. what makes the writer think about Beijing 6. From Paragraph 3, which of the following is the new side of Beijing? A. Shopping in a big supermarket. B. Watching a movie in a modern theater. C. Enjoying hamburgers in KFC. D. Putting up Spring Festival couplets. 7. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Reading Meyer’s Book about Beijing B. Seeing Great Changes in Beijing C. Watching New Movies about Beijing D. Keeping Traditional Activities in Beijing C In the last few years, great changes have taken place in our lives. Let’s take a look at how things used to be in the past and what they are like now. Firstly, the way we communicate has changed a lot. In the past, people used to keep in touch with their relatives and friends by writing letters. Writing and sending a letter could take days or even weeks. However, now with the development of technology, we can quickly connect with anyone around the world through emails, social medias and video calls. This has made our lives much more convenient and interconnected. Secondly, our entertainment ways have also seen a great change. In the past, people used to listen to the radio and watch TV for entertainment. They would listen to the radio for news and music, and watch TV programs when they were free. Nowadays, we have many new ways to enjoy ourselves on our smartphones, tablets(平板)and computers. Streaming(流媒体)services like Netflix and Spotify provide us with endless hours of movies, TV shows, and music. What’s more, the way we travel has also changed. In the past, public transportation was the most common travel for most people. Trains, buses, and bicycles were common on the roads. Nowadays, with the rise of private cars and ride-sharing apps, people have more choices when it comes to traveling. Many families now own cars and some even prefer to use electric or hybrid(混合动力)vehicles for a more environmentally friendly travel. Lastly, our living environment has also improved much. In the past, many families lived in small and crowded houses with limited conveniences. However, today, more and more people are moving into large and well-decorated apartments and houses. The quality of life has improved, and people now can get better healthcare and education more easily. In general, the changes that have taken place in our lives over the past few years are truly remarkable. From communication to entertainment, travel, and living environments, we live better and better. 8. What has changed greatly in the last few years according to the passage? A. Our work environments. B. Our communication ways. C. Our food habits. D. Our clothing styles. 9. ________ is NOT mentioned as an entertainment choice in the past. A. Radio B. Television C. Streaming services D. Music 10. According to the passage, which of the following statements about living environments is true? A. People lived in large and well-decorated houses in the past. B. Today, people can have better healthcare and education. C. The quality of life has become worse over the years. D. Many families still live in crowded and small houses today. 11. What’s the best title of this passage? A. Great Changes in Our Life B. We Can Travel Better C. Great Changes in Entertainment D. Ways to Live Better D Great changes have taken place in our lives in the last century. Here are some examples: Firstly, people were not able to travel such a long distance in such a short time in the past. Planes were not very popular at that time because they used to be a very expensive way to travel. Nowadays, we have fast and comfortable cars, and more and more people can travel by plane. Secondly, in the past, people had to work much harder because they did not have the tools that we have today. Today, machines do most of the difficult and dangerous work. Thirdly, the living conditions in the past were not as good as they are now. There were no bathrooms or running water in many houses, and many people couldn’t buy the things like refrigerators, TV sets or washing machines. Now, most families have several of these things. And many families have computers, cars and so on. Finally, nowadays, more and more people have the chance to get a good education. In the past, there were fewer schools and quality of education was much poorer. Now people can also study on the Internet at home. The development of science and technology in the world is amazing. Life now is much faster and busier than it used to be. And we are still creating new things to make our lives better and easier. 12. The underlined word “they” refers to ________. A. planes B. cars C. people D. children 13. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us? A. The people in the past were hard-working. B. Machines can help us do dangerous and difficult work now. C. The people now are too lazy to do difficult work. D. Machines were too expensive in the past. 14. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A.
