Andy never wanted to go to bed on time. His parents had explained to him many times how important it was to get a good rest, but Andy paid no attention. They didn’t know what to do until one weekend when they visited Andy’s grandparents.
Grandpa Peter heard all about it and said, “This sounds like a job for Tubby, my fat cat.” So Andy’s parents put Tubby in the car and drove back home.
That night, at bedtime, the same problem happened. Andy didn’t want to go to bed. His parents waited a while to see if Tubby would solve the problem, but nothing happened. “Grandpa really does talk some nonsense (胡说),” said Andy’s father.
Hours later, Andy finally decided to go to bed. But what a surprise when he entered his bedroom! Tubby was in his bed, lying with his legs spread out and snoring like a noisy train. Andy tried to move the cat, but there was no way to move him even an inch. That night he hardly slept, being pushed over into one tiny corner of his bed.
The next day, the same thing happened, even though Andy was much more tired from not having slept. When the third night arrived, he had understood that if he wanted to sleep in his bed comfortably, he would have to get into the bed before Tubby did. That night, Andy ran upstairs as fast as a bullet and jumped into his bed. His parents could not believe it. They didn’t understand why Andy went to bed on time without complaint. They were so happy about this, but...can you guess where Tubby slept that night?

32. Why did Andy jump into his bed quickly on the third night?
A. To prove he was not tired. B. To make his parents happy.
C. To get to sleep before Tubby. D. To show Grandpa he was right.

A. Strict. B. Creative. C. Patient. D. Careless.
34. What does the story mainly tell us?
A. One is never too old to learn. B. Sharing is the key to success.

Gary and Karen ran all the way to the Academy. When they arrived, it was already ten minutes past five. “I’m sorry,” said a woman at the door of the exam room. “You’re late and the test has already started.” She looked at her notebook. “You must be Gary,” she said. “Everyone came on time. Why didn’t you?”
“Please just give me one chance,” said Gary. “Something happened. It’s not my fault.”
“It’s true,” said Karen. “You have to believe him. He’s telling the truth. He helped catch the thief in the supermarket half an hour ago and it will be in the newspaper tomorrow.” The woman’s eyes opened wide as Karen described what had happened.
The woman thought for a moment. “All right,” she said. “But we can’t give you any extra time. Take your test paper and find a seat.”
Gary looked at the test paper. His heart was beating fast. He remembered what Laura had told him yesterday. “Stay calm. Read all the questions carefully first. Make sure you save ten minutes for checking at the end.” He set to work. He finished the Maths and English papers in an hour. Then he read his Maths paper again. He found one mistake. He checked his English paper. He found three spelling mistakes. He made the corrections. He was glad he had checked the test paper. He looked through all his answers one more time. He took a deep breath and put down his pen. He checked his watch. He had finished fifteen minutes before the end of the test.
The phone call came on Monday evening. Gary was helping Matt and Joe with their Maths homework and Karen was sitting on the sofa, reading a football magazine.
“It’s for you, Gary,” said Mum, and she whispered, “It’s the Academy!”
“Gary?” said a voice at the other end of the line. “This is Mrs Dexter calling from the Football Academy. We’ve got the results of your test.”
Gary fell silent.
“Congratulations. You’ve passed,” she said. “In fact, you got the highest marks. We would like to offer you a place if you decide to take the offer.” continued the woman.

Put on your 3D glasses and the dinosaur jumps off the screen. There are butterflies in the air around you. It is so amazing that people enjoy 3D films very much.
At a 3D movie, it seems that a red ball is jumping right at you. But the ball isn’t truly leaving the screen. What’s happening is that your brain and eyes work together to work out the ball’s size, colour, shape, and movement. It looks real, but it’s an illusion! Our eyes are like video cameras. They notice every detail of the red ball and how it moves. At the same time, our brains guess what will happen next. In this way, we think the red ball is flying straight at us!
But how do 3D movies make objects seem like they’re floating (飘浮) in the air? They trick our brains! Here’s how it works: the movie is filmed using two cameras with lenses (镜头) placed close to each other, just like our eyes. When the movie plays, these two pictures are shown on the screen at the same time. Each picture is a bit different from the other because each camera catches its own view. The two pictures overlap (重叠), so they look unclear without 3D glasses.
This is where the special glasses come in. A 3D movie uses two kinds of light: horizontal (side-to-side) light and vertical (up-and-down) light. The glasses help your left eye see the picture using horizontal light and your right eye see the picture using vertical light. Then, your brain mixes the two pictures into one. That’s when the magic of 3D happens!
With 3D glasses, the experience can be fun and exciting. Just remember that it’s all a clever trick to make you feel like you’re right there in the movie!
39. How does the writer start the passage?
A. By showing numbers. B. By listing some opinions.
C. By describing a scene. D. By asking and answering.
40. What does the underlined word “illusion” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Something unreal. B. Something unusual.
C. Something unclear. D. Something unpopular.
41. What can we learn about 3D films from Paragraph 3&4?
A. Our brains are useless because they may be tricked.
B. 3D films are filmed using two cameras far from each other.
C. The two pictures on the screen look unclear with 3D glasses.
D. The 3D glasses help deal with the horizontal and vertical light.
42. What’s this article mainly about?
A. Why people enjoy 3D films. B. How 3D films work.
C. How directors make 3D films. D. Why 3D glasses matter.

【解析】
【导语】本文介绍冬至的特点、成因、历史起源及相关习俗,说明其在不同地区和时期的意义与影响。
【59题详解】
句意:它标志着一年中“最黑暗的”一天——白天最短,夜晚最长。根据“and the longest night”可知,and连接两个相同结构的词,此处需要用形容词最高级,short的最高级是shortest,故填shortest。
【60题详解】
句意:从那以后,每一天都会变长一点,直到夏至到来。根据“Each day after it will be a little longer...the summer solstice arrives.”可知,此处是说直到夏至来临,用until/till引导时间状语从句,故填until/till。

【63题详解】
句意:在冬至前后的日子里,太阳在地平线上的位置很低,看起来好像在同一个地方升起和落下。seem to do sth.是固定用法,意为“似乎做某事”,故填to rise。
【64题详解】
句意:这就是它被称为“冬至”的原因——在拉丁语中,它的意思是“太阳静止不动”。根据“That’s...it’s called ‘solstice’”可知,此处是解释冬至名称的由来,用why,意为“这就是……的原因”,故填why。
【65题详解】
句意:人们普遍认为,早在新石器时代就有庆祝冬至的活动了。the winter solstice和celebrate之间是被动关系,且根据“as early as the New Stone Age”可知,用一般过去时的被动语态,其结构为was/were+过去分词,主语是the winter solstice,故填was celebrated。
【66题详解】
句意:从那以后,世界各地的人们以不同的形式将这一传统延续至今。根据“Since then”可知,句子用现在完成时,其结构为have/has+过去分词,主语people是复数,故填have kept。
【67题详解】
句意:例如,对于古罗马人来说,12月25日就是冬至的日期。此处特指冬至的日期,用定冠词the,故填the。
【68题详解】

根据短文内容,回答问题(每题答案不超过8个词)。
Lion dance is a traditional Chinese performing (表演) art. It mixes with kung fu and acrobatics (杂技) to copy a lion’s movements. When festivals come, we can see lion dancers move the lion’s head, tail and its ears with the sounds of gongs (锣) and drums.
This art form started in the Three Kingdoms Period and became popular in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. In ancient China, lions were seen as a symbol of good luck. In 2006, the lion dance was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产).
Qiu Haiwei and Huang Qingliang from Guangxi are two young lion dance fans. Huang said the lion dance has always been an important part of his life. Watching the lion dance is amazing, but learning it is difficult. Dancing on the poles (杆) is cool but dangerous. One wrong step means falling! Strong teamwork matters a lot. Huang said it took six months to learn basic skills. Although they practice so hard and even get hurt sometimes, their love for the art keeps them going, and they now get more chances to perform at celebrations.
Sadly, young people don’t like this ancient art form very much now because the skills take years to master and the dancers may get hurt. Since 2017, Guangxi government has worked with companies and schools to bring this ancient art back to life. “We must pass on the lion dance and its spirit to future generations (代),” Deng Minghua, a national heritage inheritor said.

Andy never wanted to go to bed on time. His parents had explained to him many times how important it was to get a good rest, but Andy paid no attention. They didn’t know what to do until one weekend when they visited Andy’s grandparents.
Grandpa Peter heard all about it and said “This sounds like a job for Tubby, my fat cat.” So Andy’s parents put Tubby in the car and drove back home.
That night, at bedtime, the same problem happened. Andy didn’t want to go to bed. His parents waited a while to see if Tubby would solve the problem, but nothing happened. “Grandpa really does talk some nonsense (胡说),” said Andy’s father.
Hours later, Andy finally decided to go to bed. But what a surprise when he entered his bedroom! Tubby was in his bed, lying with his legs spread out and snoring like a noisy train.

Gary and Karen ran all the way to the Academy. When they arrived, it was already ten minutes past five. “I’m sorry,” said a woman at the door of the exam room. “You’re late and the test has already started.” She looked at her notebook. “You must be Gary,” she said. “Everyone came on time. Why didn’t you?”
“Please just give me one chance,” said Gary. “Something happened. It’s not my fault.”
“It’s true,” said Karen. “You have to believe him. He’s telling the truth. He helped catch the thief in the supermarket half an hour ago and it will be in the newspaper tomorrow.” The woman’s eyes opened wide as Karen described what had happened.
The woman thought for a moment. “All right,” she said. “But we can’t give you any extra time. Take your test paper and find a seat.”
Gary looked at the test paper. His heart was beating fast. He remembered what Laura had told him yesterday. “Stay calm. Read all the questions carefully first. Make sure you save ten minutes for checking at the end.” He set to work. He finished the Maths and English papers in an hour. Then he read his Maths paper again. He found one mistake. He checked his English paper. He found three spelling mistakes. He made the corrections. He was glad he had checked the test paper. He looked through all his answers one more time. He took a deep breath and put down his pen. He checked his watch. He had finished fifteen minutes before the end of the test.
The phone call came on Monday evening. Gary was helping Matt and Joe with their Maths homework and Karen was sitting on the sofa, reading a football magazine.
“It’s for you, Gary,” said Mum, and she whispered, “It’s the Academy!”
“Gary?” said a voice at the other end of the line. “This is Mrs Dexter calling from the Football Academy. We’ve got the results of your test.”
Gary fell silent.
“Congratulations. You’ve passed,” she said. “In fact, you got the highest marks. We would like to offer you a place if you decide to take the offer.” continued the woman.

Put on your 3D glasses and the dinosaur jumps off the screen. There are butterflies in the air around you. It is so amazing that people enjoy 3D films very much.
At a 3D movie, it seems that a red ball is jumping right at you. But the ball isn’t truly leaving the screen. What’s happening is that your brain and eyes work together to work out the ball’s size, colour, shape, and movement. It looks real, but it’s an illusion! Our eyes are like video cameras. They notice every detail of the red ball and how it moves. At the same time, our brains guess what will happen next. In this way, we think the red ball is flying straight at us!
But how do 3D movies make objects seem like they’re floating (飘浮) in the air? They trick our brains! Here’s how it works: the movie is filmed using two cameras with lenses (镜头) placed close to each other, just like our eyes. When the movie plays, these two pictures are shown on the screen at the same time. Each picture is a bit different from the other because each camera catches its own view. The two pictures overlap (重叠), so they look unclear without 3D glasses.
This is where the special glasses come in. A 3D movie uses two kinds of light: horizontal (side-to-side) light and vertical (up-and-down) light. The glasses help your left eye see the picture using horizontal light and your right eye see the picture using vertical light. Then, your brain mixes the two pictures into one. That’s when the magic of 3D happens!
With 3D glasses, the experience can be fun and exciting. Just remember that it’s all a clever trick to make you feel like you’re right there in the movie!
39. How does the writer start the passage?
A. By showing numbers. B. By listing some opinions.
C. By describing a scene. D. By asking and answering.
40. What does the underlined word “illusion” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Something unreal. B. Something unusual.
C. Something unclear. D. Something unpopular.
41. What can we learn about 3D films from Paragraph 3&4?
A. Our brains are useless because they may be tricked.
B. 3D films are filmed using two cameras far from each other.
C. The two pictures on the screen look unclear with 3D glasses.
D. The 3D glasses help deal with the horizontal and vertical light.
42. What’s this article mainly about?
A. Why people enjoy 3D films. B. How 3D films work.
C. How directors make 3D films. D. Why 3D glasses matter.

Lion dance is a traditional Chinese performing (表演) art. It mixes with kung fu and acrobatics (杂技) to copy a lion’s movements. When festivals come, we can see lion dancers move the lion’s head, tail and its ears with the sounds of gongs (锣) and drums.
This art form started in the Three Kingdoms Period and became popular in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. In ancient China, lions were seen as a symbol of good luck. In 2006, the lion dance was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产).
Qiu Haiwei and Huang Qingliang from Guangxi are two young lion dance fans. Huang said the lion dance has always been an important part of his life. Watching the lion dance is amazing, but learning it is difficult. Dancing on the poles (杆) is cool but dangerous. One wrong step means falling! Strong teamwork matters a lot. Huang said it took six months to learn basic skills. Although they practice so hard and even get hurt sometimes, their love for the art keeps them going, and they now get more chances to perform at celebrations.
Sadly, young people don’t like this ancient art form very much now because the skills take years to master and the dancers may get hurt. Since 2017, Guangxi government has worked with companies and schools to bring this ancient art back to life. “We must pass on the lion dance and its spirit to future generations (代),” Deng Minghua, a national heritage inheritor said.
