Lu Xun also liked woodcut paintings(木版画). He started the New Woodcut Movement in the 1930s, encouraging more young artists to focus on woodcut paintings. He thought they were a useful art form to spread knowledge, culture and new ideas. Though Lu Xun’s works were written in his time, they are still a part of pop culture. His words are often used in stories, videos, emojis and creative products. Lu Xun is also one of the most talked-about writers on the video website.

These days, people who are between 3 and 59 can get vaccinated (接种疫苗). Here is something about vaccines. There are many different ways to make vaccines. At least 115 different vaccines for the novel coronavirus are being developed around the world right now. Many of them may not work or may have influences that can be dangerous. That is why testing is very important. Before a vaccine is ever tested on humans, it’s first tested on animals to make sure it seems safe. Testing the vaccine on humans is done in several different periods. In Period (阶段) 1, a small group of people are given small amounts (数量) of the vaccine to see if it has any bad influences. Period 2 still tests the vaccines safety, but it’s mainly a test to see if the vaccine seems to work. If Period 2 goes well, the vaccine can begin Period 3. During Period 3, the vaccine is tried on a much larger group of people to see how well it works. The novel coronavirus is very serious and it influences the whole world. There is huge pressure to develop a working vaccine quickly. It normally takes seven or more years to develop a safe vaccine that works well. Luckily, this time, developing the vaccine against the novel coronavirus doesn’t need so long, scientists have created it. Thanks to the scientists, we can get vaccinated so soon. All of us believe that we can overcome the novel coronavirus completely. 1．Who has created vaccines to help protect people against the novel coronavirus? 2．Is testing important before using the vaccines? 3．How many periods must be done to test the vaccine on humans according to the passage? 4．How long does it normally take to develop a safe vaccine that works well? 5．What is the passage mainly about? 【答案】1．Scientists. 2．Yes, it is./Yes. 3．Three./4. 5．It normally takes seven or more years. 6．It’s mainly about vaccines./Vaccines. 【导语】本文主要介绍了新冠病毒疫苗的情况，详细地介绍了疫苗的发明过程。 1．根据“To help protect people against the novel coronavirus (新冠病毒), scientists have created vaccines (疫苗).”可知科学家发明了疫苗帮助人们抗击新冠病毒。故填Scientists. 2．根据“Many of them may not work or may have influences that can be dangerous. That is why testing is very important.”可知在使用疫苗之前，试验是非常重要的。故填Yes, it is./Yes. 3．根据“In Period (阶段) 1…Period 2 still tests…During Period 3…”可知需试验三个阶段。故填Three./3. 4．根据“It normally takes seven or more years to develop a safe vaccine that works well.”可知研发一种安全的疫苗通常需要七年或更长时间。故填 It normally takes seven or more years. 5．阅读文章内容可知主要介绍了疫苗。故填It’s mainly about vaccines./Vaccines. 任务型阅读。阅读短文，根据其内容完成下列任务。 Xiangjiang Middle School encourages the students to have different talents.

Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets(预算). For example, Chicago Public Schools hurt arts education when it fired (解雇) over 1,000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. Music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn’t tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often. Learning music is useful in many ways. When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It’s not as simple as it looks. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode (解码) them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time. Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano. 阅读短文，回答下列问题。 1．Why do some schools in the US cut music classes? 2．More than 100 fired teachers taught art or music, didn’t they? 3．What do people need when playing music? 4．How many scientists who are good at playing music are mentioned in this passage? 5．What’s the writer’s opinion according to this passage? 【答案】1．Because the schools want to control budgets. 2．Yes, they did. 3．They need different abilities to work together. 4．Two. 5．Music is a big part of our lives. 【导语】本文主要介绍了音乐是我们生活的一个重要部分，但一些学校为了控制预算削减了音乐课，作者分析了其中的原因并说明了学习音乐的好处。 1．根据“But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets(预算).”可知，一些学校削减音乐课是为了控制预算。故填Because the schools want to control budgets. 2．根据“Chicago Public Schools hurt arts education when it fired (解雇) over 1,000 teachers.

The piece which was played on the erhu especially moved me. The music was strangely beautiful, but under the beauty I sensed a strong sadness and pain. The piece had a simple name, Erquan Yingyue (Moon Reflected on Second Spring), but it was one of the most moving pieces of music that I’ve ever heard. The erhu sounded so sad that I almost cried along with it as I listened. Later I looked up the history of Erquan Yingyue, and I began to understand the sadness in the music. The music was written by Abing, a folk musician who was born in the city of Wuxi in 1893. His mother died when he was very young. Abing’s father taught him to play many musical instruments, such as the drums, dizi and erhu, and by age 17, Abing was known for his musical ability. However, after his father died, Abing’s life grew worse. He was very poor. Not only that, he developed a serious illness and became blind. For several years, he had no home. He lived on the streets and played music to make money. Even after Abing got married and had a home again, he continued to sing and play on the streets. He performed in this way for many years. Abing’s amazing musical skills made him very popular during his lifetime. By the end of his life, he could play over 600 pieces of music. Many of these were written by Abing himself. It is a pity that only six pieces of music in total were recorded for the future world to hear, but his popularity continues to this day. Today, Abing’s Erquan Yingyue is a piece which all the great erhu masters play and praise. It has become one of China’s national treasures. Its sad beauty not only paints a picture of Abing’s own life but also makes people recall their deepest wounds from their own sad or painful experiences. 1．The name of Abing’s most famous piece of music: 2．The feelings of the writer about this piece of music: 3．The musical instruments his father taught him to play: 4．The achievement of Abing: 5．Please find the phrase in the passage that has the same meaning as “There were twelve of us in all for dinner.” （请在本文中找出与划线单词意思相同的短语） 【答案】1．Erquan Yingyue (Moon Reflected on Second Spring). 2．He felt that it was beautiful, but under the beauty he sensed a strong sadness and pain. 1．The drums, dizi and erhu. 2．He could play over 600 pieces of music and he wrote many of them. 3．in total 【分析】本文主要介绍了二胡名曲《二泉映月》以及作曲者阿炳的故事。 1．根据“The piece had a simple name, Erquan Yingyue (Moon Reflected on Second Spring)”和“The music was written by Abing”可知，阿炳最著名的音乐是《二泉映月》。故填Erquan Yingyue (Moon Reflected on Second Spring)。 2．根据“The music was strangely beautiful, but under the beauty I sensed a strong sadness and pain.”可知，作者听完这首乐曲的感受是：觉得乐曲和优美，但是也感受到了悲伤和痛苦。故填He felt that it was beautiful, but under the beauty he sensed a strong sadness and pain. 3．根据“Abing’s father taught him to play many musical instruments, such as the drums, dizi and erhu”可知，阿炳父亲教他打鼓，笛子和二胡。故填The drums, dizi and erhu. 4．根据“By the end of his life, he could play over 600 pieces of musicc. Many of these were written by Abing himself.”可知，阿炳的成就是能演奏600多首曲子，并且很多曲子是他创造的。故填He could play over 600 pieces of music and he wrote many of them. 5．根据“There were twelve of us in all for dinner.”和“It is a pity that only six pieces of music in total were recorded for the future world to hear”可知，“in all”和“in total”的意思是“总共”，两个短语意思相同。故填in total。 As one of “China’s new four great inventions”, China’s high-speed rail eyes the world again with Fuxing. It is proud of a top speed of 400 km/h and a continuous speed of 350 km/h. It is totally designed (设计) and produced by Chinese engineers without any help from the West. China’s high-speed train is not only known for its amazing speed, but also for its safety and comfort. Last year, it safely carried 1.4 billion passengers, or more than the total population of Africa and South America. Six years ago, video taken by a Swedish traveller became popular on social media at home and abroad. In the nine-minute video, a coin stood upright all the time on a fast-running high-speed train.

Developers began working on the new system in January, 2020 when the number of people who suffered from COVID-19 began to increase in China. The fast spread of the virus has led most people to wear masks in public to protect themselves and people around. China is regarded as a world leader in the development of artificial intelligence (AI). According to engineers at the Beijing-based Hanwang Technology Co. Ltd, this system is the first to be created to identify people wearing masks. “A team of 20 engineers completed it in about a month, adding a collection of about 6 million unmasked faces and a smaller collection of masked faces,” the company said. Hanwang is now selling two main kinds of products using the new technology. One performs single channel recognition(单通道识别), which will be used at the entrances to buildings. The other product is a multi-channel(多通道的) recognition system that uses groups of cameras. It’s said that the multi-channel system can identify up to 30 people within a second. “When people wear masks, the recognition rate(比率) can reach about 95 percent,” said Huang Lei, Hanwang’s vice president. “The system’s success rate for people without wearing masks is about 99.5 percent.” Nowadays the new system is trying to identify people with both sunglasses and masks. “In such cases, all of the key facial information is lost, making recognition hard,” Huang said. How many rules did a child break if he was given a note? 1．When did the scientists begin to develop this new facial recognition system? 2．How long did the engineers spend creating the new system? 3．Does a multi-channel recognition system need cameras? 4．What products are using the new technology? 5．What’s the main idea of this passage? 【答案】1．In January, 2./They began to develop the new facial recognition system in January, 3. 4．About a month./They spent about a month creating the new system. 5．Yes./Yes it does. 6．A single channel recognition system and a multi-channel recognition system. 7．(An introduction of) a new facial recognition system. 【分析】本文主要介绍了一种新的面部识别系统。 1．根据第一段“Developers began working on the new system in January, 2020 when the number of people who suffered from COVID-19 began to increase in China. ”可知他们于2020年1月开始开发新的面部识别系统。故填In January, 2020./They began to develop the new facial recognition system in January, 2020. 2．根据第二段“A team of 20 engineers completed it in about a month, adding a collection of about 6 million unmasked faces and a smaller collection of masked faces”可知是大约一个月内完成了这项工作。故填About a month./They spent about a month creating the new system. 3．根据第三段“ The other product is a multi-channel(多通道的) recognition system that uses groups of cameras.”可知是需要摄像机，故填Yes./Yes it does. 4．根据第三段“Hanwang is now selling two main kinds of products using the new technology. One performs single channel recognition(单通道识别)...The other product is a multi-channel(多通道的)recognition system”可知是有两种产品，一种是单通道识别系统，另一种是多通道识别系统。故填A single channel recognition system and a multi-channel recognition system. 5．根据第一段“It’s reported that a Chinese company has created a new facial recognition system(面部识别系统)that can identify(识别)people even if they are wearing masks.”以及通读全文可知本文主要介绍了一种新的面部识别系统。故填(An introduction of) a new facial recognition system. 阅读下面短文，根据所提供的信息，完整回答下面的问题，并把问题的完整答案写在答题卡指定的位置上。 Apple’s first watch can not only tell you the right time, the smart watch also has a set of technology that can collect a lot of health data (数据).

In summer, it’s common on the street to see many Chinese women holding umbrellas to protect themselves from the sun. But when Amy, an exchange student in Beijing from the US, first saw this, she found it strange, even impossible to understand. She wrote on her blog（博客）, “Unlike Chinese women, American women prefer to put on their tank tops (背心) and sunglasses during summer.” This may be caused by the different standards of beauty between the US and China. Many Americans don’t want white skin. They would rather be tanned (晒黑). Amy also wrote, “Having darker skin is so popular that many women and men will pay for fake tans (假晒黑) so that they can keep their sun-kissed appearance during the winter months, too.” Why do they like tanned skin? Michelle Louis reported in her research, “The process of tanning can help make people’s skin smooth and hide marks.” She further explained, “Tans make people’s skin appear healthier and make them appear thinner than when they have pale skin.” Perhaps there is no real ideal standard of beauty. In different cultures and at different times of history, the standards change. On Amy’s blog, she also gave two examples: Some women carried umbrellas around trying to keep their white skin in the US 150 years ago; During the Tang Dynasty in China, heavy women were thought beautiful. But now, Chinese women prefer to be thin. In a word, different standards of beauty should be respected. People may grow up with only one idea of what beauty is, but it doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily the correct or the best idea. 根据短文内容，简要回答下面问题。 1．What do American women like to wear during summer? 2．Are the standards of beauty between the US and China the same or different according to the passage? 3．In Michelle Louis’ opinion, why do many Americans prefer tanned skin to pale skin? 4．When did American women use to carry umbrellas around trying to keep their white skin? 5．What’s the main idea of the passage? 【答案】1．They like to wear their tank tops and sunglasses. 2．They are different. 3．Because tanned skin can look smooth and healthier, hide marks and make them appear thinner. 4．150 years ago. 5．Different standards of beauty should be respected. /We should respect different standards of beauty. 【分析】本文是一篇议论文，通过介绍中国人和美国人对于肤色白和肤色黑哪个更美的不同看法来阐述一个观点：对美的定义会因人、因地、因时间而异，但它没必要有标准答案，不同的美都应该得到尊重。 1．根据“Unlike Chinese women, American women prefer to put on their tank tops (背心) and sunglasses during summer”，可知她们喜欢穿背心和戴墨镜，故填They like to wear their tank tops and sunglasses. 2．根据文章提及中国女性以白为美，美国女性以黑为美，可知两国人对美的标准不同，故填They are different. 3．根据“The process of tanning can help make people’s skin smooth and hide marks...Tans make people’s skin appear healthier and make them appear thinner than when they have pale skin”，可知因为黑皮肤看起来更健康和光滑，可以隐藏斑点，而且让人看起来更瘦，故填Because tanned skin can look smooth and healthier, hide marks and make them appear thinner. 4．根据“Some women carried umbrellas around trying to keep their white skin in the US 150 years ago”，可知是150年前美国女性会撑伞保护白皮肤，故填150 years ago. 5．通读全文，再根据末段的“In a word, different standards of beauty should be respected”，可知文章主旨是不同标准的美都该得到尊重，故填Different standards of beauty should be respected. /We should respect different standards of beauty. Dear Passenger 15A， You don’t know me. I was seated in front of you during the flight from Singapore to Sydney on April 12th. I’m writing this letter to thank you. Though I bought an economy seat(经济舱), you offered me a full-back massage(按摩)by repeatedly(反复地)kicking the back of my chair. I didn’t pay for the in-flight entertainment package and I was worried that I might get bored. But my worry was unnecessary. You were talking so loudly, although your friend wasn’t seated far away from you. Perhaps she’s hard of hearing? For the first time in my life, I wished I had had a hearing problem. ①您能告诉我在哪里买的那些零食吗? They must be delicious because you got one open every 30 minutes. Thanks for the loud chewing sounds! At this point, I thought, “It can’t get any better than this.” But soon, my nose was assaulted(使难受)by a terrible smell. ②It was so nice of you to take off your shoes and put your feet between my seat and the plane window. Did you know that you had made me a more religious(虔诚的)person? I said more prayers(祷告)in that eight-hour flight than I had in my former life. Thank you once again.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Yours                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Passenger 14 A 1．How did Passenger 15A offer the writer a full-back massage? 2．Why did the writer wish she had had a hearing problem? 3．将画线句子①翻译成英语。 4．将画线句子②翻译成汉语。 5．According to the passage, was the writer truly thankful to the passenger 15A? 【答案】1．By repeatedly kicking the back of my chair. 2．Because the Passager 15A was talking so loudly. 3．Can/Could you tell me where I can buy/get those snacks?/Can/Could you tell me where to buy/get those snacks? 4．你如此好的脱掉鞋子并且把脚放在座位和窗户之间。 5．No, he wasn’t. 【分析】本文是一篇应用文。文中主要讲述了作者自己对飞机上乘客的不良行为写的一封信。 1．细节理解题。根据文中第二段“…you offered me a full-back massage(按摩)by repeatedly(反复地)kicking the back of my chair.”可知15A的乘客不停地踢作者的椅背，给作者做背部按摩。故填By repeatedly kicking the back of my chair. 2．细节理解题。根据文中第三段“You were talking so loudly, although your friend wasn’t seated far away from you…I wished I had had a hearing problem.”可知尽管你的朋友坐在离你不远的地方，你还是大声地说话。我希望自己有听力问题。可见作者希望自己有听力问题是因为15A的乘客说话声音太大。故填Because the Passager 15A was talking so loudly. 3．根据划线部分“您能告诉我在哪里买的那些零食吗？”可知题干是请求帮助的问句；能：can或could，告诉：tell，哪里：where，买：get/buy，那些零食：those snacks。故填Can/Could you tell me where I can buy/get those snacks?或Can/Could you tell me where to buy/get those snacks? 4．根据划线内容“It was so nice of you to take off your shoes and put your feet between my seat and the plane window.”可知“It is +adj. of sb. to do sth.”做某事某人……，take off脱下，your shoes你的鞋子，put放，your feet你的脚，between…and在……和……之间，my seat我的座椅，the plane window飞机窗户。故填：你如此好的脱掉鞋子并且把脚放在座位和窗户之间。 5．推理判断题。根据文中第二段“you offered me a full-back massage(按摩)by repeatedly(反复地)kicking the back of my chair.” 第三段“You were talking so loudly…”第四段“Thanks for the loud chewing sounds”以及第五段“But soon, my nose was assaulted(使难受)by a terrible smell”可知作者在信中谈到自己前面的15A乘客在飞机上反复地踢作者的椅背，大声地讲话，吃东西咀嚼的声音大，以及还脱掉鞋子，让作者对糟糕的气味感到难受，可见作者并不是真心感谢15A的乘客。故填No, he wasn’t. 阅读下面的材料，然后根据材料内容回答问题。 Xiangiang Middle School encourages the students to have different talents.

Cloud Forests In the Americas, Asia, and Africa, there's a special kind of forest—the cloud forest. Cloud forests are usually found from 500 meters to 4,000 meters above sea level in the clouds on the slopes （斜坡）of mountains. They experience rainfall, but they also get water straight from the air. The water is unpolluted, and moves through the ground into streams and then rivers. Cloud forests are very important to both people who live nearby and the animals and plants living there. They provide water to nearby villages and cities. People drink the water, use it for cooking, and irrigate （灌溉） their farm fields with it. In Kenya, people even use water from cloud forests to produce electricity. Although cloud forests only make up 2.5 percent of the world's rainforests, they are also home to many animals and plants. Unfortunately, cloud forests now face many problems. Local poor people clear the cloud forests. They cut down trees to grow food and use the wood to heat their homes and cook. Building roads also badly harms the cloud forests. Once cloud forests are cleared, the cloud cover, which is important and necessary to the growth of these forests, goes away. Another bigger worry is that the temperature increases gradually. If world temperatures rise, cloud forests will have to move up to a higher place where the temperatures are cooler. But some cloud forests on mountain tops with nowhere to climb will die out. Scientists fear we might lose cloud forests, along with the water and other services they provide. Some governments have taken actions to protect cloud forests. They make laws against cutting down trees in the cloud forests. They provide the local people with other ways to get food and energy. They also educate the local people on how cloud forests provide fresh water and what will happen when they are cleared. Cloud forests are too valuable to lose. We must save them—plus the animals and plants they support—before it's too late. 1．How many meters above sea level are cloud forests usually found? ______________________________________________________________ 2．Where does the water in the cloud forests come from? ______________________________________________________________ 3．Why are cloud forests important to people in the nearby villages and cities? ______________________________________________________________ 4．What problems do cloud forests face? ______________________________________________________________ 5．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? ______________________________________________________________ 【答案】1．From 500 meters to 4,000 meters. 2．Rainfall and the air. 3．Because they provide water to them. 4．Local people clear the cloud forests. The temperature increases gradually. 5．What some governments have done to protect cloud forests. 【分析】文章介绍了云雾森林，包括它的位置，给人们带来的好处，以及面临的问题，以及政府采取的行动。 1．根据“Cloud forests are usually found from 500 meters to 4,000 meters above sea level in the clouds on the slopes （斜坡）of mountains.”可知，云雾森林通常从海拔500米到4000米的山的斜坡上的云层中被发现，故填From 500 meters to 4,000 meters。 2．根据“They experience rainfall, but they also get water straight from the air.”可知，云雾森林中的水是从降雨和空气中来，故填Rainfall and the air。 3．根据“Cloud forests are very important to both people who live nearby and the animals and plants living there. They provide water to nearby villages and cities.”可知，云雾森林给附近的村庄和城市的人们提供水，故填Because they provide water to them. 4．根据“Unfortunately, cloud forests now face many problems. Local poor people clear the cloud forests.”以及“Another bigger worry is that the temperature increases gradually.”可知，云雾森林面临的问题是当地的穷人清理云雾森林以及气温逐渐升高，故填Local people clear the cloud forests. The temperature increases gradually. 5．根据“Some governments have taken actions to protect cloud forests…They also educate the local people on how cloud forests provide fresh water and what will happen when they are cleared.”可知，主要是介绍了一些政府已经采取行动保护云雾森林，故填What some governments have done to protect cloud forests. 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 期末复习之任务型阅读15篇 一、任务型阅读 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Reading Lu Xun’s articles has become common memories of Chinese students. From a young age, we study his articles such as From Baicao Garden to Sanuei Study and My Old Home. We get to know Runtu and Kong Yiji under his pen. Lu Xun was born on Sept. 25, 1881, and his real name is Zhou Shuren. So many years has passed, but Lu Xun’s life experiences still encourage young people. He went to Japan to study medicine as his father died of illness. But seeing the dark side of Chinese society of the early 20th century, he decided to pick up a pen and write stories to show the dark side of society and tradition, trying to enlighten(启迪) people. Lu Xun also liked woodcut paintings(木版画). He started the New Woodcut Movement in the 1930s, encouraging more young artists to focus on woodcut paintings. He thought they were a useful art form to spread knowledge, culture and new ideas. Though Lu Xun’s works were written in his time, they are still a part of pop culture. His words are often used in stories, videos, emojis and creative products. Lu Xun is also one of the most talked-about writers on the video website. By now, there are more than 13, 600 videos about him with 170 million views, according to the site. Chinese writer Zhi An thinks it’s a good thing that his voice is still heard.

These days, people who are between 3 and 59 can get vaccinated (接种疫苗). Here is something about vaccines. There are many different ways to make vaccines. At least 115 different vaccines for the novel coronavirus are being developed around the world right now. Many of them may not work or may have influences that can be dangerous. That is why testing is very important. Before a vaccine is ever tested on humans, it’s first tested on animals to make sure it seems safe. Testing the vaccine on humans is done in several different periods. In Period (阶段) 1, a small group of people are given small amounts (数量) of the vaccine to see if it has any bad influences. Period 2 still tests the vaccines safety, but it’s mainly a test to see if the vaccine seems to work. If Period 2 goes well, the vaccine can begin Period 3. During Period 3, the vaccine is tried on a much larger group of people to see how well it works. The novel coronavirus is very serious and it influences the whole world. There is huge pressure to develop a working vaccine quickly. It normally takes seven or more years to develop a safe vaccine that works well. Luckily, this time, developing the vaccine against the novel coronavirus doesn’t need so long, scientists have created it. Thanks to the scientists, we can get vaccinated so soon. All of us believe that we can overcome the novel coronavirus completely. 1．Who has created vaccines to help protect people against the novel coronavirus? 2．Is testing important before using the vaccines? 3．How many periods must be done to test the vaccine on humans according to the passage? 4．How long does it normally take to develop a safe vaccine that works well? 5．What is the passage mainly about? 任务型阅读。阅读短文，根据其内容完成下列任务。 Xiangjiang Middle School encourages the students to have different talents.

Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets(预算). For example, Chicago Public Schools hurt arts education when it fired (解雇) over 1,000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. Music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn’t tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often. Learning music is useful in many ways. When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It’s not as simple as it looks. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode (解码) them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time. Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano. 阅读短文，回答下列问题。 1．Why do some schools in the US cut music classes? 2．More than 100 fired teachers taught art or music, didn’t they? 3．What do people need when playing music? 4．How many scientists who are good at playing music are mentioned in this passage? 5．What’s the writer’s opinion according to this passage? 阅读下面的短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题后面的词数要求）。 Nowadays, a new method is used to decide who are the top students in school. The best students are those who not only get high marks, but also follow the rules and the behavior standards（行为标准）for middle school students. Here are some of the new rules and standards. Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone else’s work on an exam? If you have, then don’t do it again! That’s not something an honest student should do. If you have played computer games for two hours in your room, don’t tell your parents you were doing homework. Learn to work together with others. It would be more fun when more people work together. Did you fight with your teammates when your basketball team lost? Only working together can make your team stronger. Be friendly to the people you are with. Try to think of others instead of only yourself. Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Perhaps you’ll discover Earth Ⅱ someday. Don’t look down on new ideas. Everyone’s ideas are important. You should welcome them, because new ideas make life better for everyone. Use the Internet carefully. Some websites on the Internet aren’t for kids, so make sure to visit the web pages that are good for you. You can visit the websites for fun or homework. Can’t you find any good websites for children? 1．How many new rules and standards are mentioned in the passage?（不超过5个词） 2．Why should we welcome the new ideas?（不超过10个词） 3．What kind of web pages should we visit?（不超过 15个词） 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题后面的词数要求）。 A long time ago there was a farmer in England. He had two daughters, Anna and Emma. He loved his daughters very much and he wanted to do everything to make them happy. When both his daughters grew up, Anna became a gardener. She grew flowers in her garden every day. And Emma became a brick maker. She worked hard every day to make bricks. One day, the two daughters came to see their father. The farmer asked his girls, “What do you wish for now?” Anna said, “Dad, I wish for more rain. My flowers can’t grow without rain.” Then Emma said, “Dad, I wish for more sunshine. My bricks can’t dry without sunshine.” After listening to his daughters, the old farmer became sad because he was not sure what to wish for. If he wished for more sunshine, Anna would not be happy. If he wished for more rain, Emma would not be happy. At last, the farmer learned an important lesson. Everyone can’t be happy all the time. 1．What did Anna do every day? (不超过10个词) 2．Why did the farmer become sad? (不超过15个词) 3．What can we learn from the story? (不超过10个词) 读下面的一篇文章，在题目下做简单的笔记 Last night one of my Chinese friends took me to a concert of Chinese folk music. The piece which was played on the erhu especially moved me. The music was strangely beautiful, but under the beauty I sensed a strong sadness and pain. The piece had a simple name, Erquan Yingyue (Moon Reflected on Second Spring), but it was one of the most moving pieces of music that I’ve ever heard. The erhu sounded so sad that I almost cried along with it as I listened. Later I looked up the history of Erquan Yingyue, and I began to understand the sadness in the music. The music was written by Abing, a folk musician who was born in the city of Wuxi in 1893. His mother died when he was very young. Abing’s father taught him to play many musical instruments, such as the drums, dizi and erhu, and by age 17, Abing was known for his musical ability. However, after his father died, Abing’s life grew worse. He was very poor. Not only that, he developed a serious illness and became blind. For several years, he had no home.

It is proud of a top speed of 400 km/h and a continuous speed of 350 km/h. It is totally designed (设计) and produced by Chinese engineers without any help from the West. China’s high-speed train is not only known for its amazing speed, but also for its safety and comfort. Last year, it safely carried 1.4 billion passengers, or more than the total population of Africa and South America. Six years ago, video taken by a Swedish traveller became popular on social media at home and abroad. In the nine-minute video, a coin stood upright all the time on a fast-running high-speed train. It shows the steadiness of China’s high-speed train, giving visitors a comfortable travelling experience. The service on China’s high-speed rail is still improving. The new bullet train plans to increase the height and the Wi-Fi network will cover the whole train. Its air conditioning system is designed to reduce the influence of the external pressure wave when the train is passing through tunnels, easing (缓解) discomfort of ears. China’s high-speed rail also plays an important role in promoting (促进) the Belt and Road Initiative. It will be good for countries along the Belt and Road. It has become a new symbol, showing China’s great progress to the world. 1．What is China’s high-speed train famous for? 2．How many passengers did China’s high-speed train safely carry last year? 3．What does the underlined word “steadiness” in the third paragraph mean in Chinese? 4．Who took the nine-minute video that became popular on social media at home and abroad? 5．What’s the best title of the passage? 根据短文内容，回答短文后所提出的问题，并将答案写在答题卡的相应位置。 It’s reported that a Chinese company has created a new facial recognition system(面部识别系统) that can identify(识别) people even if they are wearing masks. Developers began working on the new system in January, 2020 when the number of people who suffered from COVID-19 began to increase in China. The fast spread of the virus has led most people to wear masks in public to protect themselves and people around. China is regarded as a world leader in the development of artificial intelligence (AI). According to engineers at the Beijing-based Hanwang Technology Co. Ltd, this system is the first to be created to identify people wearing masks. “A team of 20 engineers completed it in about a month, adding a collection of about 6 million unmasked faces and a smaller collection of masked faces,” the company said. Hanwang is now selling two main kinds of products using the new technology. One performs single channel recognition(单通道识别), which will be used at the entrances to buildings. The other product is a multi-channel(多通道的) recognition system that uses groups of cameras. It’s said that the multi-channel system can identify up to 30 people within a second. “When people wear masks, the recognition rate(比率) can reach about 95 percent,” said Huang Lei, Hanwang’s vice president. “The system’s success rate for people without wearing masks is about 99.5 percent.” Nowadays the new system is trying to identify people with both sunglasses and masks. “In such cases, all of the key facial information is lost, making recognition hard,” Huang said. How many rules did a child break if he was given a note? 1．When did the scientists begin to develop this new facial recognition system? 2．How long did the engineers spend creating the new system? 3．Does a multi-channel recognition system need cameras? 4．What products are using the new technology? 5．What’s the main idea of this passage? 阅读下面短文，根据所提供的信息，完整回答下面的问题，并把问题的完整答案写在答题卡指定的位置上。 Apple’s first watch can not only tell you the right time, the smart watch also has a set of technology that can collect a lot of health data (数据). When you have been sitting too long, it will “hit” you on the wrist (手腕) 10 minutes before the top of the hour. “A lot of doctors believe that sitting is new illness.” Apple’s CEO Tim Cook said. Many workers used the Apple Watch first. Then, Apple started selling the Apple Watch in April 2015. “We have a lot of meeting and a lot of workers,” Cook said, “and ten minutes before the hour, the watch will hit you and everybody will start standing up.” “It took some time to get used to, but it’s actually really excellent.” He said. Users have the chance to share their health data with doctors. And people believe it makes them healthier. 1．Besides telling you the right time, what can the smart watch do? 2．What do a lot of doctors think about sitting? 3．When did Apple start selling the Apple Watch? 4．According to Cook, what will everybody do when the watch hits you on the wrist? 5．Do users have the chance to share their health data with doctors? In summer, it’s common on the street to see many Chinese women holding umbrellas to protect themselves from the sun. But when Amy, an exchange student in Beijing from the US, first saw this, she found it strange, even impossible to understand. She wrote on her blog（博客）, “Unlike Chinese women, American women prefer to put on their tank tops (背心) and sunglasses during summer.” This may be caused by the different standards of beauty between the US and China. Many Americans don’t want white skin. They would rather be tanned (晒黑). Amy also wrote, “Having darker skin is so popular that many women and men will pay for fake tans (假晒黑) so that they can keep their sun-kissed appearance during the winter months, too.” Why do they like tanned skin? Michelle Louis reported in her research, “The process of tanning can help make people’s skin smooth and hide marks.” She further explained, “Tans make people’s skin appear healthier and make them appear thinner than when they have pale skin.” Perhaps there is no real ideal standard of beauty. In different cultures and at different times of history, the standards change. On Amy’s blog, she also gave two examples: Some women carried umbrellas around trying to keep their white skin in the US 150 years ago; During the Tang Dynasty in China, heavy women were thought beautiful. But now, Chinese women prefer to be thin. In a word, different standards of beauty should be respected. People may grow up with only one idea of what beauty is, but it doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily the correct or the best idea. 根据短文内容，简要回答下面问题。 1．What do American women like to wear during summer? 2．Are the standards of beauty between the US and China the same or different according to the passage? 3．In Michelle Louis’ opinion, why do many Americans prefer tanned skin to pale skin? 4．When did American women use to carry umbrellas around trying to keep their white skin? 5．What’s the main idea of the passage? Dear Passenger 15A， You don’t know me. I was seated in front of you during the flight from Singapore to Sydney on April 12th. I’m writing this letter to thank you. Though I bought an economy seat(经济舱), you offered me a full-back massage(按摩)by repeatedly(反复地)kicking the back of my chair. I didn’t pay for the in-flight entertainment package and I was worried that I might get bored. But my worry was unnecessary. You were talking so loudly, although your friend wasn’t seated far away from you. Perhaps she’s hard of hearing? For the first time in my life, I wished I had had a hearing problem. ①您能告诉我在哪里买的那些零食吗? They must be delicious because you got one open every 30 minutes. Thanks for the loud chewing sounds! At this point, I thought, “It can’t get any better than this.” But soon, my nose was assaulted(使难受)by a terrible smell. ②It was so nice of you to take off your shoes and put your feet between my seat and the plane window. Did you know that you had made me a more religious(虔诚的)person? I said more prayers(祷告)in that eight-hour flight than I had in my former life. Thank you once again.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Yours                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Passenger 14 A 1．How did Passenger 15A offer the writer a full-back massage? 2．Why did the writer wish she had had a hearing problem? 3．将画线句子①翻译成英语。 4．将画线句子②翻译成汉语。 5．According to the passage, was the writer truly thankful to the passenger 15A? 阅读下面的材料，然后根据材料内容回答问题。 Xiangiang Middle School encourages the students to have different talents. Mike plays the guitar at school, and Max plays the drums. They both play very well. All the students like to enjoy their music. There are more than 50 clubs in the school, but they want to do something different. One day Mike and Max decided for the school’s first marching band(行进乐队). But they needed more musical instruments (器) and members. Mike and Max put up a sign asking anyone who plays a musical instrument to join. Many students were really interested in this. Soon they got a lot of answers. Sam really wanted to join the band, but he had one huge problem. He could not play any musical instrument. Sophia also wanted to join the band, but she played the harp (竖琴). The harp is too big. She can’t carry it while playing. “How can you be in our band?” Mike asked Sophia.“You play the harp sitting down, how can you march?” All the band members wanted Sophia to play in the band. But they also wanted to march. Where is the way? Then Max had an idea. He invited Sam and Sophia to join the band. Max asked his father for help. His father is good at creating. He made a big board with four wheels. Then Max asked Sam to ride a bicycle to pull the board with Sophia and her harp on it. Sam could use the bicycle’s bell as a kind of musical instrument. The band members loved Max’s idea and everyone loved the marching band’s great music. 1．How many clubs are there in the school? 2．What could Sophia play? 3．Who rode a bicycle in the band? 4．What did Max’s father do for the band? 5．Why was Sam able to join the band? Cloud Forests In the Americas, Asia, and Africa, there's a special kind of forest—the cloud forest. Cloud forests are usually found from 500 meters to 4,000 meters above sea level in the clouds on the slopes （斜坡）of mountains. They experience rainfall, but they also get water straight from the air. The water is unpolluted, and moves through the ground into streams and then rivers. Cloud forests are very important to both people who live nearby and the animals and plants living there. They provide water to nearby villages and cities. People drink the water, use it for cooking, and irrigate （灌溉） their farm fields with it. In Kenya, people even use water from cloud forests to produce electricity. Although cloud forests only make up 2.5 percent of the world's rainforests, they are also home to many animals and plants. Unfortunately, cloud forests now face many problems. Local poor people clear the cloud forests. They cut down trees to grow food and use the wood to heat their homes and cook. Building roads also badly harms the cloud forests. Once cloud forests are cleared, the cloud cover, which is important and necessary to the growth of these forests, goes away. Another bigger worry is that the temperature increases gradually. If world temperatures rise, cloud forests will have to move up to a higher place where the temperatures are cooler. But some cloud forests on mountain tops with nowhere to climb will die out. Scientists fear we might lose cloud forests, along with the water and other services they provide. Some governments have taken actions to protect cloud forests. They make laws against cutting down trees in the cloud forests. They provide the local people with other ways to get food and energy. They also educate the local people on how cloud forests provide fresh water and what will happen when they are cleared. Cloud forests are too valuable to lose. We must save them—plus the animals and plants they support—before it's too late. 1．How many meters above sea level are cloud forests usually found? ______________________________________________________________ 2．Where does the water in the cloud forests come from? ______________________________________________________________ 3．Why are cloud forests important to people in the nearby villages and cities? ______________________________________________________________ 4．What problems do cloud forests face? ______________________________________________________________ 5．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? ______________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
