B Jim, a successful businessman, told an experience of his childhood. When he was twelve, his parents died. He was alone and didn’t get on well with others. No one showed kindness to him. People always laughed at him. His only friend was a dog named Bobby. He gave his dog enough to eat and drink, but he was a little rude (粗鲁的) to it sometimes. One day when he was going down the street, he saw a young lady walking in front of him. Suddenly one of her bags dropped from her arms. As she stopped to pick it up, she dropped other bags. Jim came to help her. “Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” The lady said kindly and politely, smiling. A special feeling came to him. He had never heard such kind words before. He watched her until she went far away. He was so excited that he whistled (吹口哨) to his dog. “Thank you, dear! You’re a nice little boy!” he repeated (重复) her words. Then in a low voice he said to his dog, “You are a nice little dog!” Bobby raised its ears. It seemed that the dog had understood what he said. “Even a dog likes it!” he thought. “Well, Bobby, I won’t say unkind words to you any more,” he said. Bobby waved its tail (尾巴) happily. Later, they went directly to the river nearby. When he arrived at the riverside, he looked at himself in the river. He saw nothing but a dirty boy. He washed his face carefully. After that, he saw a nice clean boy. From then on, he started a new life. After telling this story, the businessman stopped for a while. Then he said, “Ladies and gentlemen, it was that kind woman who planted the first seed (种子) of kindness in me. All of us should learn about kindness. What great power (力量) it has!” 6. Why didn’t Jim get on well with others? A. Because he was alone. B. Because he was not successful. C. Because he was rude to Bobby. D. Because he showed no kindness to others. 7. How did Jim help the young lady? A. He said kind words to her. B. He helped her walk the street. C. He repeated the woman’s words. D. He picked up her bags. 8. What was the young lady like according to the passage? A. Quiet and rude. B. Kind and polite. C. Friendly and serious. D. Proud and calm. 9. Which is the right order of the following events (事件)? a. The young lady said kind words to him. b. Jim washed his face and started a new life. c. Jim’s parents died. d. Jim helped a young lady. A. d-c-a-b B. c-d-a-b C. b-c-a-d D. c-a-b-d 10. What is the best title of the passage? A. Successful Businessman B. An Experience of the Childhood C. The Power of Kind Words D. Jim’s Childhood C Sugar painting, as the name means, is a painting made of sugar. It’s the sugar for us to taste, and the painting for us to admire. Since the Warring States Period (战国时代), the ancient people loved sweets and developed methods of producing sugar. In the Tang Dynasty, there was huge progress in the technology of sugar making. And sugar, the precious product once only served to the emperors and princes, also went into common people’s homes. With the cultural and economic (经济的) development of Song and Yuan Dynasties, people became less interested in only tasting sweetness. In the Ming Dynasty, some people added pictures with good luck into the bowl of sugar, and sugar painting appeared. Sugar painting is different from normal painting. Sugar painters use syrup (糖浆) as the material, a spoon as the “paintbrush”, and a smooth table as the “paper”. To make syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. Since syrup may become hard if it cools, the painters have to produce the work very quickly. They move the spoon full of syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting is done. However, it’s a pity that this folk art is dying recently. The sugar painting that used to be rich in shapes has become poorer and poorer because of fewer needs. What’s worse, few people seem to be willing to pass on the art except those aging sugar painters. For most people, painting is a kind of art and difficult to understand. However, sugar painting has pulled the art down into people’s daily lives. Through it, we may see the spiritual support of the ancient people across centuries. Now, sugar painting has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in China. Therefore, the art should be remembered, missed and passed on. 11. What does the underlined word “precious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Valuable and expensive. B. Useful and cheap. C. Special but worthless. D. Simple but priceless. 12. When did sugar painting appear? A. In the Warring States Period. B. In the Tang Dynasty. C. In the Yuan Dynasty. D. In the Ming Dynasty. 13. Why should sugar painters make the work very quickly? A. To show their excellent skills. B. To avoid syrup becoming hard. C. To protect the spoon and the table. D. To reduce people’s waiting time. 14. What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards today’s sugar painting according to Paragraph 4? A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful. C. Worried. D. Unclear. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the passage? A. Exploring the Art of Sugar Painting B. Improving the Taste of Sugar Painting C. Effects of the Sugar Producing Technology D. Ways to Change the Future of Sugar Painting D Have you heard of Oliver Twist or Peter Pan? These are just some of the characters (角色) that have been created by British writers. Geoffrey Chaucer was a famous poet in the 1300s. He wrote poetic short stories about people travelling to Canterbury. ____16____ Probably the most famous British writer was William Shakespeare.
