A
Going to Disney World is full of stresses: listening to your kids complain, taking care of little ones, waiting in endless lines and walking for miles and miles. But there are ways to make sure you aren’t that family screaming at each other in the middle of Fantasy land.
Plan ahead
Your first and most important decision is which time of the year to visit. Obviously, the summer months are going to be packed. If your family doesn’t deal well with crowds, don’t go then. Opt for nicer weather in the late fall or spring, but beware spring break.
Stay on site
Everyone gets stressed driving in an unfamiliar city, dealing with traffic and trying to find parking. Staying on site eliminates all that. Buses run every 15 to 20 minutes from the resorts to the parks, and some resorts use boats or the monorails. Disney’s Magical Express is a free shuttle that picks you up and takes you to the airport. If you think you’ll spend more than a day at one park, consider booking a resort near it to cut down on travel time.
Familiarize yourself with the rides and shows
Read guide books, websites and talk to friends about which rides and shows are most appropriate for your family. This could help you avoid waiting 30 minutes for a show no one in your family wants to see or taking your four-year-old on a terrifying ride.
Dining plans
Plan your meals long before you go on the trip. Many restaurants, especially meals where you meet the characters, can be booked six months in advance.
Prepare for safety
Discuss safety, stranger danger and the need to not wander off. Take a photo on your cell phone of your kids each day in case they get lost, so you can show people exactly what they look like. I also dress my kids in the same bright colour, so I can scan a crowd and find them quickly.
1. This article is intended for ________.
A. a manager who works for Disney World
B. a family who wants to visit Disney World
C. an agent who advertises Disney World
D. a reporter who wants to cover Disney World
2. If you want a good meal in Disney World, you should ________.
A. stay on site B. read guide books
C. reserve ahead of schedule D. take a photo
3. In order to keep your kids safe, you may ________.
A. follow your kids all the time
B. ask your kids to play in the same place
C. take a photo of your kids on your cell phone
D. dress yourself and your kids the same
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了去迪士尼世界游玩时减轻压力的几种方法。

B
Each spring brings a blossom of wildflowers in the ditches by highway along which I travel to work every day.
There is a kind of particular blue flower that always catches my eye. I notice that it blooms only in the morning; the afternoon sun is too warm for it. For approximately two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers every day.
This spring, I started to build a wildflower garden in our yard. I could look through the window in the kitchen to see the flowers while doing the dishes. I often thought that those lovely blue flowers and other wildflowers from the ditch would look more beautiful in the flower bed. Every time I drove past the flowers, I would think, “I’ll stop on my way home and dig some.” But after a while, I would think, “Gee, I don’t want to get my clothes dirty.” ... Whatever the reason is, I never stopped to dig some. My husband even gave me a folding shovel one year in my trunk to inform me of that purpose.
One day on my way home from work, I was saddened to see that the highway department had mowed the grass in the ditches and that the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, “Way to go! You have waited too long. You should have dug some when you first saw them blooming that spring.”
A week ago, we were shocked and very sad to learn that my oldest sister-in-law had a terminal brain tumor. She is 20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we haven’t been as close as we all hoped. I couldn’t help thinking about the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband’s sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us.
If I see the blue flowers again, I am guaranteed to stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍的是作者从错过移植路边短暂盛开的蓝花中领悟到珍惜眼前美好与亲人的重要性。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“There is a kind of particular blue flower that always catches my eye. I notice that it blooms only in the morning; the afternoon sun is too warm for it. For approximately two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers every day.(有一种特别的蓝色花朵总是吸引我的目光。我注意到它只在早上开花,下午的阳光对它来说太温暖了。大约两周的时间里,我每天都看到那些美丽的花朵。)”可知,今年春天,作者每天早上都会看到一种特别的蓝色花朵。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“One day on my way home from work, I was saddened to see that the highway department had mowed the grass in the ditches and that the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, “Way to go! You have waited too long. You should have dug some when you first saw them blooming that spring.”(一天,在下班回家的路上,我难过地看到公路部门已经把沟里的草割掉了,那些漂亮的蓝色花朵也不见了。我心想,“做得好!你等得太久了。你应该在春天第一次看到它们开花的时候就挖一些。”)”可知,当作者看到花儿不见了时,她感到很沮丧。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Every time I drove past the flowers, I would think, “I’ll stop on my way home and dig some.” But after a while, I would think, “Gee, I don’t want to get my clothes dirty.” ... Whatever the reason is, I never stopped to dig some. My husband even gave me a folding shovel one year in my trunk to inform me of that purpose.(每次开车路过,我都心想:“下班顺路挖几株回去。”可转念又想:“哎呀,会弄脏衣服。”……种种顾虑之下,我始终没有停下脚步去移栽。有一年,丈夫甚至特意在我车里放了一把折叠小铲子,提醒我去挖花。)”可知,作者因为拖延而一直没有去挖那些蓝色野花,由此可推知,作者可能是一个拖沓的人。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据倒数第二段中“I couldn’t help thinking about the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband’s sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us.(我不禁想到漂亮的蓝色花朵和我丈夫的姐姐和我们之间的关系。我确实相信上帝给了我们一些时间来种植一些美好的回忆,这些回忆每年都会为我们绽放。)”和最后一段“If I see the blue flowers again, I am guaranteed to stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden.(如果我再看到那些蓝色的花,我一定会停下来把它们移植到我的野花花园里。)”可知,作者通过自己的经历告诉我们不要拖延,要珍惜当下,及时去做自己想做的事情。由此可推知,我们能从这篇文章中学到“今日事今日毕”的道理。故选B。
C
The Brazilian scientists were in disbelief after seeing the results. The country with the most freshwater resources in the world had lost 15 percent of its surface water since 1991. There has been slow water loss in the Brazilian-owned part of the Pantanal. The Pantanal is the world’s largest warm-climate wetland. It covers an area of between 140 thousand and 195 thousand square kilometers over three countries. Today, water coverage in the Pantanal is only 25 percent of what it was thirty years ago. And the scientists’ findings are only up through 2020. The next year’s drought has been Brazil’s worst in ninety years.
Evaporation (蒸发) is a part of the natural process that can lessen water resources. This is especially true in areas with low water levels like the Pantanal wetlands. But the scientists believe something else is happening. Experts have warned human activities are affecting the world’s weather patterns. It is causing extreme events to happen more often, such as severe droughts and floods. The cutting and burning of forest and the building of large hydroelectric factories and dams for watering crops all affect natural patterns. This is not just happening in Brazil. It’s happening all over the world.
The researchers found that ongoing drought has already raised energy costs and food prices. It has also dried out crops. And it has increased the risk of wildfire for large parts of forest.
Brazil’s decreasing water resources may also worsen fires that people set each winter to clear land. The fires then burn out of control. Last year, more than 25 percent of Brazil’s Pantanal was on fire. It was the worst yearly damage since officials began keeping records in 2003. What worries us most is that in areas without roads, moving on smaller rivers can be a problem because of low water levels. That means firefighters could soon have trouble reaching some fires. And, even if they can, less water is available to put them out.
8. What do we know about the scientists’ findings from paragraph 1?
A. They are irrelevant. B. They are incredible.
C. They mislead the public. D. They are easy to discover.
9. What is the author’s biggest worry about the crisis of water resources?
A. Massive crop drying.
B. Disappearance of wetlands.
C. Failure in land clearing in winter.
D. Difficulty in fire fighting in some areas.
10. How does the author develop the passage?
A. By providing typical examples. B. By making comparisons.
C. By presenting cause and effect. D. By giving definitions.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Brazil Water Study Raises Fears for Drought.
B. Protecting Water Is a Top Mission for Brazil.
C. Brazil Becomes a Country Short of Fresh Water.
D. Climate Change Affects Water Security in Brazil.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了巴西水资源减少引发干旱担忧及相关影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The Brazilian scientists were in disbelief after seeing the results. The country with the most freshwater resources in the world had lost 15 percent of its surface water since 1991.(巴西科学家看到相关研究结果后大为震惊。这个全球淡水储备最丰富的国家,自1991年以来地表水总量已减少15%。)”可知,科学家们看到结果后难以置信,即他们的发现是令人难以置信的。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“What worries us most is that in areas without roads, moving on smaller rivers can be a problem because of low water levels. That means firefighters could soon have trouble reaching some fires. And, even if they can, less water is available to put them out.(最让我们担心的是,在没有道路的地区,由于水位低,在小河上航行可能是一个问题。这意味着消防员可能很快就会难以到达一些火灾现场。而且,即使他们能到达,可用于灭火的水也会减少。)”可知,作者最担心的是在一些地区由于水位低,消防员难以到达火灾现场,即使到达了,可用于灭火的水也会减少,即在一些地区灭火困难。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据第二段中“Evaporation (蒸发) is a part of the natural process that can lessen water resources. This is especially true in areas with low water levels like the Pantanal wetlands. But the scientists believe something else is happening. Experts have warned human activities are affecting the world’s weather patterns. It is causing extreme events to happen more often, such as severe droughts and floods.(蒸发是减少水资源的自然过程的一部分。这在像潘塔纳尔湿地这样水位低的地区尤其如此。但科学家们认为还有其他事情在发生。专家警告说,人类活动正在影响世界的天气模式。这导致极端事件更频繁地发生,如严重干旱和洪水。)”以及第三段“The researchers found that ongoing drought has already raised energy costs and food prices. It has also dried out crops. And it has increased the risk of wildfire for large parts of forest.(研究人员发现,持续的干旱已经提高了能源成本和食品价格。它还使农作物干枯。它还增加了森林大部分地区发生野火的风险。)”可知,文章先介绍了巴西水资源减少这一现象,然后分析了导致这一现象的原因,包括蒸发和人类活动等,接着又阐述了水资源减少带来的影响,如能源成本和食品价格上涨、农作物干枯、野火风险增加等,所以作者是通过呈现因果关系来展开文章的。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段“The Brazilian scientists were in disbelief after seeing the results. The country with the most freshwater resources in the world had lost 15 percent of its surface water since 1991.(巴西科学家看到相关研究结果后大为震惊。这个全球淡水储备最丰富的国家,自1991年以来地表水总量已减少15%。)”可知,文章主要讲述了巴西水资源减少引发干旱担忧及相关影响,所以A选项“Brazil Water Study Raises Fears for Drought(巴西水资源研究引发干旱担忧)”最符合文章主旨。故选A。
D
Watched afar, it’s like a wall painting from Tang Dynasty (618 to 907 AD); if listen closely, it’s like heavenly music that brings people back to Tang’s capital, Chang’an. Musicians with round collar robes and Futou on their heads, and ladies with high hair buns in gauze dresses are playing Chang’an ancient music with traditional drum, sheng, flute, yinluo and other instruments.
The Chang’an ancient music, also known as Xi’ an Guyue, originated in the Tang Dynasty. Initially, it was played only for royal gatherings, but later on, such music becomes popular among common people. Chang’an ancient music is a typical representative of Chinese traditional instrumental music. In 2009, it was added to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List.
What kind of instruments can produce such graceful music, which has been played for more than a millennium (一千年)? Chang’an ancient music is a grand ensemble integrating traditional Chinese percussion (打击乐器), wind and string instruments, and it has been acknowledged as the “symphony from ancient China”. Its history is even longer than western symphony, which formed and developed in the 18th century.
Different from the music notation (乐谱) used by western symphony, Chang’an ancient music adopts a Song Dynasty music notation method. Meanwhile, it inherits over 1,000 qupai, or labelled melodies of various forms from the Tang and Song Dynasty. In the performance of traditional Chang’an ancient music, there is neither score nor conductor; all performers must keep all the tunes in mind.
The Chang’an ancient music is still played nowadays, which won’t be possible without efforts made by generations of inheritors. For example, besides performing the traditional art, the Xi’an International University Ancient Chinese Music Orchestra has been innovating. The Chang’an ancient music version of “War Song of Kings”, the theme song of an online game is a masterpiece of their innovation. In it, musicians not only include representative instruments like bamboo flute, bili, sheng, double yunluo, gong, cymbals, zither and pipa, but also other Chinese folk instruments like erhu and xun. In such a way, the orchestra has brought to the audience a vivid mixture of modern music and Chang’an ancient music with Tang Dynasty features.
When the orchestra plays “Pirates of the Caribbean”, piano was added into Chang’an ancient music. When oriental charm meets with western elements, unique sparks appear.
In Dongcang Drum Music Society of Xi’an’s theme park Tang Paradise, musicians chose live-streaming. Their live videos have attracted more and more audiences from China and abroad, enabling them to know more about Chang’an ancient music. As more and more people fall in love with the “symphony from ancient China”, this ancient art form is now injected with new vitality.
12. What can we know about Chang’an ancient music according to the article?
A It adopted a Tang Dynasty music notation method.
B. It was initially played among common people.
C. It has gained the fame “symphony from ancient China”.
D. It was included in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2008.
13. Why is Chang’ an ancient music the representative of Chinese traditional instrumental music?
A. Because it’s like a wall painting and heavenly music from Tang Dynasty.
B. Because it combines conventional Chinese percussion, wind and string instruments.
C. Because it inherits over 1,000 qupai, or labelled melodies of various forms.
D. Because the orchestra has brought to the audience a vivid mixture of music.
14. The underlined word “score” in paragraph 4 means ________.
A. a point in a game B. the lights in a hall
C. the number of twenty D. a piece of written music
15. Why is Chang’ an ancient music popular today according to the passage?
A. Because of efforts made by inheritors.
B. Because of its beautiful notation.
C. Because it originated from China.
D. Because it is filled with new vitality.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Chang’an ancient music is a grand ensemble integrating traditional Chinese percussion (打击乐器), wind and string instruments, and it has been acknowledged as the “symphony from ancient China”.(长安古乐是集中国传统打击乐、管乐和弦乐于一体的大型合奏,被誉为“中国古代交响乐”。)”可知,长安古乐结合了中国传统的打击乐、管乐和弦乐,因此它是中国传统器乐的代表。故选B。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“In the performance of traditional Chang’an ancient music, there is neither score nor conductor; all performers must keep all the tunes in mind.(传统长安古乐演出没有score、也无指挥,所有演奏者必须将全部曲调熟记于心。)”可知,在传统长安古乐的表演中,没有乐谱,也没有指挥,所有表演者都必须记住所有的曲调。故score意思是“乐谱”。故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“The Chang’an ancient music is still played nowadays, which won’t be possible without efforts made by generations of inheritors.(长安古乐至今仍在演奏,如果没有一代又一代传承人的努力,这是不可能的。)”可知,长安古乐如今仍然受欢迎是因为传承人的努力。故选A。

前文“Across the world, people are struggling with insufficient sleep. In the US alone, it’s been estimated that between 50 million and 70 million people suffer from the trouble, and on a global scale, it has even been called an epidemic. (在全球范围内,人们都面临着睡眠不足的问题。仅在美国,据估计就有5000万至7000万人深受此困扰,而从全球范围来看,这一问题甚至被称为一种流行病。)”指出全球睡眠不足的普遍性与严重性,后文给出改善睡眠的具体建议,此处应提出解决方案,因此G项“However, there are some simple adjustments to improve the quality of your sleep (然而,有一些简单的调整可以改善你的睡眠质量)”符合语境,和前文构成转折,并引出后文建议。故选G。
【17题详解】
前文“According to one German study, people experienced both longer REM and deep sleep in December than in June. REM sleep is the most active stage of sleep, when we dream and our heart rate increases (根据一项德国的研究,人们在12月的快速眼动睡眠时间和深度睡眠时间都比6月长。快速眼动睡眠是睡眠过程中最活跃的阶段,此时我们会做梦,心率也会加快)”提到快速眼动睡眠和深度睡眠两个概念,并对快速眼动睡眠进行解释,空前用“while”引出对比,此处应说明深度睡眠的特点,因此E项“deep sleep is when the body repairs muscle and tissues (深度睡眠是身体修复肌肉和组织的阶段)”符合语境,承接前文。故选E。
【18题详解】
前文“The key to power naps is to keep them short and to make sure you have one mid-afternoon (有效小睡的关键是保证时间较短,并且确保安排在下午中段)”强调小睡的时长和时间安排,此处需解释这样安排的目的,因此B项“so that it doesn’t disrupt your sleep at night (这样就不会在晚上打扰到你的睡眠了)”符合语境,承接前文。故选B。

(有些仅持续几秒钟,但如果在驾驶时发生这种微睡眠现象,可能会造成严重伤害。对52名司机的行车记录仪录像进行分析后发现,其中四分之三的司机在发生车祸前都有微睡眠的迹象。)”提到微睡眠的危害,此处需转折引出小睡的负面影响,因此A项“However, not all naps are good for us (然而,并非所有小睡都对我们有好处)”符合语境,自然过渡到对微睡眠的讨论。故选A。
【20题详解】
前文“How much sleep we all need can vary from person to person, with most recommendations for between seven and nine hours. (每个人所需的睡眠时间可能因人而异,一般建议的睡眠时长在7至9小时之间。)”提到睡眠时长建议,后文“Quality matters as much, if not more. (质量同样重要,甚至更为重要。)”强调睡眠质量的重要性,此处需从睡眠时长过渡到质量,因此F项“But the amount of sleep you get is only one part of the equation (但是你的睡眠时长只是这个等式的一部分)”符合语境,和前文构成转折,引出后文对睡眠质量的讨论。故选F。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As an eighth-grader, I’ve always been hard-working and achieved excellent grades in my studies. I put a lot of effort into every assignment, spending hours to make sure they were perfect. Almost every day, some of my classmates came to me asking for my homework or help during a test. I always said yes because I thought that you should help your friends.
But to my disappointment, they didn’t see me as their friend. They didn’t seem to appreciate my kindness, and they didn’t even invite me to play with them during breaks.
It was bothering me because during school days, at least half of my classmates asked me to help them one way or another during the day. As soon as they finished, they were gone and didn’t even want to talk to me. Sometimes they would even ask me to do their homework before the day was over. They would give me the assignment and go away to hang out with their friends. And then during group projects, everyone would try to be in the same group with me and they wouldn’t do anything for the project, letting me do everything and then get a good grade.
I still kept helping them because I thought that one day they will see how I was always useful to them and never said no, but this day never came. In fact, the opposite happened— my classmates noticed and talked to me less and less. This situation made me feel bad. Then I thought to myself, “If sometimes I say no, they’ll change!”
One day we had a pair assignment and of course June, who was the most popular girl in my class, was the first to raise her hand to be with me. I again couldn’t say no. I think June assumed that I would do everything myself so she didn’t even bother to talk with me about the assignment. But this time I really didn’t want to do 100% of the work because I had many other assignments and well... it was meant to be done by two!
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally, I gathered my courage to face up to June.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From then on, I learned to say “no”.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考作文:
Paragraph 1:
Finally, I gathered my courage to face up to June. “You should do 50 percent of the work because I wouldn’t be able to do it alone,” I said firmly. June looked at me in shock, as if she couldn’t believe I would say such a thing, “Hey, I’ve been really busy lately and I can’t work on the project, can you help?” “No!” I felt a mixture of anger and disappointment welling up inside me. She kept begging me. I controlled myself and finally exclaimed loudly, “No!” Astonished by my resolute attitude, she froze to the spot.
Paragraph 2:
From then on, I learned to say “no”. I understood that it was okay to set limits when I was really busy or when it was unfair for me to do all the work. My classmates began to respect me more. They no longer just came to me for help but also started to have real conversations with me and invited me to join their activities. I finally found my place among them, not just as a helper but as a true friend.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者学习勤奋、乐于助人,常帮同学完成作业或应对考试,但同学并不感激,甚至在小组活动中让作者承担所有工作。尽管作者持续付出,同学却愈发疏远,最终作者决定改变。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“终于,我鼓起勇气当面跟June摊牌。”可知,第一段主要描写作者鼓起勇气,坚定要求June分担一半任务,记录两人的对话冲突、June的推脱求情,以及作者压抑情绪、最终强硬拒绝的全过程,同时刻画June震惊愣住的反应。
②由第二段句首内容“从那以后,我学会了拒绝。”可知,第二段可以描写作者学会拒绝后的内心感悟,懂得设立边界、拒绝不公之事,再讲述同学态度的转变、相处模式的改善,最后升华主旨:守住底线,才能收获平等真挚的友谊。
2.续写线索:鼓起勇气对峙——提出合理分工——对方推脱求情——坚定果断拒绝——学会坚守底线——收获尊重与真心友谊

A
Going to Disney World is full of stresses: listening to your kids complain, taking care of little ones, waiting in endless lines and walking for miles and miles. But there are ways to make sure you aren’t that family screaming at each other in the middle of Fantasy land.
Plan ahead
Your first and most important decision is which time of the year to visit. Obviously, the summer months are going to be packed. If your family doesn’t deal well with crowds, don’t go then. Opt for nicer weather in the late fall or spring, but beware spring break.
Stay on site
Everyone gets stressed driving in an unfamiliar city, dealing with traffic and trying to find parking. Staying on site eliminates all that. Buses run every 15 to 20 minutes from the resorts to the parks, and some resorts use boats or the monorails. Disney’s Magical Express is a free shuttle that picks you up and takes you to the airport. If you think you’ll spend more than a day at one park, consider booking a resort near it to cut down on travel time.
Familiarize yourself with the rides and shows
Read guide books, websites and talk to friends about which rides and shows are most appropriate for your family. This could help you avoid waiting 30 minutes for a show no one in your family wants to see or taking your four-year-old on a terrifying ride.
Dining plans
Plan your meals long before you go on the trip. Many restaurants, especially meals where you meet the characters, can be booked six months in advance.
Prepare for safety
Discuss safety, stranger danger and the need to not wander off. Take a photo on your cell phone of your kids each day in case they get lost, so you can show people exactly what they look like. I also dress my kids in the same bright colour, so I can scan a crowd and find them quickly.
1. This article is intended for ________.
A. a manager who works for Disney World
B. a family who wants to visit Disney World
C. an agent who advertises Disney World
D. a reporter who wants to cover Disney World
2. If you want a good meal in Disney World, you should ________.
A. stay on site B. read guide books
C. reserve ahead of schedule D. take a photo
3. In order to keep your kids safe, you may ________.
A. follow your kids all the time
B. ask your kids to play in the same place
C. take a photo of your kids on your cell phone
D. dress yourself and your kids the same
B
Each spring brings a blossom of wildflowers in the ditches by highway along which I travel to work every day
There is a kind of particular blue flower that always catches my eye. I notice that it blooms only in the morning; the afternoon sun is too warm for it. For approximately two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers every day.
This spring, I started to build a wildflower garden in our yard. I could look through the window in the kitchen to see the flowers while doing the dishes. I often thought that those lovely blue flowers and other wildflowers from the ditch would look more beautiful in the flower bed. Every time I drove past the flowers, I would think, “I’ll stop on my way home and dig some.” But after a while, I would think, “Gee, I don’t want to get my clothes dirty.” ... Whatever the reason is, I never stopped to dig some. My husband even gave me a folding shovel one year in my trunk to inform me of that purpose.
One day on my way home from work, I was saddened to see that the highway department had mowed the grass in the ditches and that the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, “Way to go! You have waited too long. You should have dug some when you first saw them blooming that spring.”
A week ago, we were shocked and very sad to learn that my oldest sister-in-law had a terminal brain tumor. She is 20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we haven’t been as close as we all hoped. I couldn’t help thinking about the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband’s sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us.
If I see the blue flowers again, I am guaranteed to stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden.
4. What did the author see every morning this spring?
A. She saw some worthless gold. B. She saw the folding shovel.
C. She saw the dishes. D. She saw a particular blue flower.
5. How did the author feel when she saw the flowers gone?
A. Frustrated. B. Enthusiastic.
C. Energetic. D. Indifferent.
6. According to the passage, the author may be a(n) ________ person.
A. optimistic B. devoted C. draggy D. odd
7. What can we learn from the passage?
A. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
B. Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
C. What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.

The Brazilian scientists were in disbelief after seeing the results. The country with the most freshwater resources in the world had lost 15 percent of its surface water since 1991. There has been slow water loss in the Brazilian-owned part of the Pantanal. The Pantanal is the world’s largest warm-climate wetland. It covers an area of between 140 thousand and 195 thousand square kilometers over three countries. Today, water coverage in the Pantanal is only 25 percent of what it was thirty years ago. And the scientists’ findings are only up through 2020. The next year’s drought has been Brazil’s worst in ninety years.
Evaporation (蒸发) is a part of the natural process that can lessen water resources. This is especially true in areas with low water levels like the Pantanal wetlands. But the scientists believe something else is happening. Experts have warned human activities are affecting the world’s weather patterns. It is causing extreme events to happen more often, such as severe droughts and floods. The cutting and burning of forest and the building of large hydroelectric factories and dams for watering crops all affect natural patterns. This is not just happening in Brazil. It’s happening all over the world.
The researchers found that ongoing drought has already raised energy costs and food prices. It has also dried out crops. And it has increased the risk of wildfire for large parts of forest.
Brazil’s decreasing water resources may also worsen fires that people set each winter to clear land. The fires then burn out of control. Last year, more than 25 percent of Brazil’s Pantanal was on fire. It was the worst yearly damage since officials began keeping records in 2003. What worries us most is that in areas without roads, moving on smaller rivers can be a problem because of low water levels. That means firefighters could soon have trouble reaching some fires. And, even if they can, less water is available to put them out.
8. What do we know about the scientists’ findings from paragraph 1?
A. They are irrelevant. B. They are incredible.
C. They mislead the public. D. They are easy to discover.
9. What is the author’s biggest worry about the crisis of water resources?
A. Massive crop drying.
B. Disappearance of wetlands.
C. Failure in land clearing in winter.
D. Difficulty in fire fighting in some areas.
10. How does the author develop the passage?
A. By providing typical examples. B. By making comparisons.
C. By presenting cause and effect. D. By giving definitions.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Brazil Water Study Raises Fears for Drought.
B. Protecting Water Is a Top Mission for Brazil.
C. Brazil Becomes a Country Short of Fresh Water.
D. Climate Change Affects Water Security in Brazil.

Watched afar, it’s like a wall painting from Tang Dynasty (618 to 907 AD); if listen closely, it’s like heavenly music that brings people back to Tang’s capital, Chang’an. Musicians with round collar robes and Futou on their heads, and ladies with high hair buns in gauze dresses are playing Chang’an ancient music with traditional drum, sheng, flute, yinluo and other instruments.
The Chang’an ancient music also known as Xi’ an Guyue, originated in the Tang Dynasty. Initially, it was played only for royal gatherings, but later on, such music becomes popular among common people. Chang’an ancient music is a typical representative of Chinese traditional instrumental music. In 2009, it was added to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List.
What kind of instruments can produce such graceful music, which has been played for more than a millennium (一千年)? Chang’an ancient music is a grand ensemble integrating traditional Chinese percussion (打击乐器), wind and string instruments, and it has been acknowledged as the “symphony from ancient China”. Its history is even longer than western symphony, which formed and developed in the 18th century.
Different from the music notation (乐谱) used by western symphony, Chang’an ancient music adopts a Song Dynasty music notation method. Meanwhile, it inherits over 1,000 qupai, or labelled melodies of various forms from the Tang and Song Dynasty. In the performance of traditional Chang’an ancient music, there is neither score nor conductor; all performers must keep all the tunes in mind.
The Chang’an ancient music is still played nowadays, which won’t be possible without efforts made by generations of inheritors. For example, besides performing the traditional art, the Xi’an International University Ancient Chinese Music Orchestra has been innovating. The Chang’an ancient music version of “War Song of Kings”, the theme song of an online game is a masterpiece of their innovation. In it, musicians not only include representative instruments like bamboo flute, bili, sheng, double yunluo, gong, cymbals, zither and pipa, but also other Chinese folk instruments like erhu and xun. In such a way, the orchestra has brought to the audience a vivid mixture of modern music and Chang’an ancient music with Tang Dynasty features.
When the orchestra plays “Pirates of the Caribbean”, piano was added into Chang’an ancient music. When oriental charm meets with western elements, unique sparks appear.
In Dongcang Drum Music Society of Xi’an’s theme park Tang Paradise, musicians chose live-streaming. Their live videos have attracted more and more audiences from China and abroad, enabling them to know more about Chang’an ancient music. As more and more people fall in love with the “symphony from ancient China”, this ancient art form is now injected with new vitality.
12. What can we know about Chang’an ancient music according to the article?
A. It adopted a Tang Dynasty music notation method.
B. It was initially played among common people.
C. It has gained the fame “symphony from ancient China”.
D. It was included in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2008.
13. Why is Chang’ an ancient music the representative of Chinese traditional instrumental music?
A. Because it’s like a wall painting and heavenly music from Tang Dynasty.
B. Because it combines conventional Chinese percussion, wind and string instruments.
C. Because it inherits over 1,000 qupai, or labelled melodies of various forms.
D. Because the orchestra has brought to the audience a vivid mixture of music.
14. The underlined word “score” in paragraph 4 means ________.
A. a point in a game B. the lights in a hall
C. the number of twenty D. a piece of written music
15. Why is Chang’ an ancient music popular today according to the passage?
A. Because of efforts made by inheritors.
B. Because of its beautiful notation.
C. Because it originated from China.
D. Because it is filled with new vitality.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As an eighth-grader, I’ve always been hard-working and achieved excellent grades in my studies. I put a lot of effort into every assignment, spending hours to make sure they were perfect. Almost every day, some of my classmates came to me asking for my homework or help during a test. I always said yes because I thought that you should help your friends.
But to my disappointment, they didn’t see me as their friend. They didn’t seem to appreciate my kindness, and they didn’t even invite me to play with them during breaks.
It was bothering me because during school days, at least half of my classmates asked me to help them one way or another during the day. As soon as they finished, they were gone and didn’t even want to talk to me. Sometimes they would even ask me to do their homework before the day was over. They would give me the assignment and go away to hang out with their friends. And then during group projects, everyone would try to be in the same group with me and they wouldn’t do anything for the project, letting me do everything and then get a good grade.
I still kept helping them because I thought that one day they will see how I was always useful to them and never said no, but this day never came. In fact, the opposite happened— my classmates noticed and talked to me less and less. This situation made me feel bad. Then I thought to myself, “If sometimes I say no, they’ll change!”
One day we had a pair assignment and of course June, who was the most popular girl in my class, was the first to raise her hand to be with me. I again couldn’t say no. I think June assumed that I would do everything myself so she didn’t even bother to talk with me about the assignment. But this time I really didn’t want to do 100% of the work because I had many other assignments and well... it was meant to be done by two!
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally, I gathered my courage to face up to June.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From then on, I learned to say “no”.
