VIII. 阅读理解(共20小题,每小题2分,计分40分)

Located in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, Tengwang Pavilion (滕王阁) is one of the three famous pavilions in southern China. Built during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), it was named after Prince Teng, the younger brother of Emperor Taizong. Although the original (起初的) structure was destroyed and rebuilt 29 times over all history, today’s pavilion, completed in 1989, still shows traditional Chinese architectural (建筑学的) beauty.
The pavilion is about 57 metres high. Visitors can admire poems, paintings, and carvings (雕刻) that show China’s rich literary (文学的) history. The most famous work is Preface to Tengwang Pavilion by Wang Bo, a talented poet from the Tang Dynasty. His writing not only describes the pavilion’s beauty but also expresses deep feelings about life and nature.
Today, Tengwang Pavilion is not just a tourist attraction but also a cultural landmark. It teaches us about China’s artistic achievements and the importance of protecting history. Visitors can climb to the top floor to enjoy an amazing view of the Gan River, imagining how people centuries ago were surprised by the same view or might have some similar feelings.
36. Where can you find this passage?
A. In a diary. B. In a guidebook.
C. In a sports newspaper. D. In a storybook.
37. What does the word “landmark” most likely mean?
A. A place of fun.
B. A place of natural wonders.
C. A place of some modern buildings.
D. A place of historical or cultural importance.
38. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To advertise tours of Jiangxi Province.
B. To compare different Chinese pavilions.
C. To introduce a famous pavilion in Jiangxi.
D. To discuss some famous places in Nanchang.
B
Are you a book-lover but feeling you don’t have enough time to read? Don’t worry. You can find out the solutions (解决方法) right here.
Firstly, don’t read before bed. Most people keep their reading on their nightstands (床头柜). If you read at night, you will probably only get through a few pages before you get sleepy. Instead, I suggest reading before work. Even if you’re not an early bird, use the time you spend checking WeChat every morning to read some lines on the phone.
Secondly, make good use of the time when you’re on the way to work. For example, if you take the bus or underground to work, you can use this time to read. A half-hour commute (通勤) can easily turn into five hours of reading time every week — enough for most people to read a whole book.
Thirdly, ▲ . Before you tell me how much you “enjoy the smell of the printed books”, let me try to tell you the convenience (便利) of reading on the e-book app on your smartphone: you’ll always have your “books” with you, and most importantly, you can always get through a little reading in those lost minutes of the day — waiting in line for coffee, during business breaks and so on. Those pages add up fast.
What’s more, if a book makes you feel terrible, stop reading it. You don’t need to waste time reading a book that is not good. In fact, it’s more likely to make you quit your reading habit. Surely, you might think it’s necessary to finish a book which you spent five painful hours on. However, you can simply put it down.
39. Which of the following sentence can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 4?
A. carry your books all the time B. paper books always come first
C. read on your phone if possible D. read when you’re having coffee
40. What does the underlined word “quit” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Make. B. Correct. C. Enjoy. D. Break.
41. What can we know according to the passage?
A. The writer thinks you should keep reading all the books you choose.
B. The writer thinks reading on the way to work is a good way to spend time.
C. The writer thinks you had better get up as early as you can to spend time reading.
D. The writer thinks reading on the e-book app on your smartphone is inconvenient.
42. Why does the writer write this passage?
A. To ask people to make a reading plan.
B. To help people save time for reading.
C. To advise people to read more e-books.
D. To show people the importance of reading.
C
I used to live in a small town with trees all around. It has been about thirty years since I left my hometown. But I still remember what it was exactly like. And I often “see” it in many of my dreams. My hometown is a beautiful place. It stands beside a wide river and is rich in fish and rice.
But in the old days, the little town was a poor and backward one. Many people had no work. They lived a hard life. There was no tall building and the only street was narrow, but trees and flowers made the town beautiful. Just outside the town, there was a river. You could see different kinds of fish swimming in the clear water. People here lived a simple life.
Since the government took a new policy, great changes have taken place there. The streets have been widened. Factories, schools, hospitals, cinemas and theatres have been built one after another. People’s life is greatly improved. You can see tall buildings, big department stores and factories everywhere. Different kinds of cars and buses are running in the wide streets.
But with the development of the industry, we have fewer trees. Air pollution and water pollution are becoming more and more serious. And there are also other problems. We should try our best to make it richer. At the same time, we must do something to stop pollution and make our hometown even more beautiful.
43. When did the writer leave his hometown?
A. About ten years ago. B. About twenty years ago.
C. About thirty years ago. D. About forty years ago.
44. How was the writer’s hometown in the old days?
A. Poor but beautiful. B. Rich and beautiful. C. Poor but big. D. Rich and developed.
45. As for the changes of the town, which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. The streets have been widened.
B. More factories, schools, hospitals, cinemas and airports have been built.
C. There are more and more cars and buses in the streets.
D. Tall buildings, big department stores and factories have been built.
D
A boy helped save the life of his friend from choking (窒息) in the dining hall at school while having their lunch there. Many people watched the video of the accident on the Internet.
In the video, the new student Jackson just got a seat and ate his chicken sandwich. Suddenly, the food stuck (卡住) in his throat and his face turned red. Hunter Olsen sat across from Jackson.
He thought that Jackson was just joking and laughed at him along with his friends. But soon it became clear that Jackson was choking and tried to cough out the food. He pointed to his throat to tell Hunter that he was not joking. Hunter realized that he had to do something and used the Heimlich maneuver (海姆立克急救法). Finally, Jackson coughed out the food and could breathe again.
Ms Smith, who taught them the Heimlich maneuver during her health class, said she couldn’t believe her ears when she heard what had happened. But she was happy to know that her student put what she taught into practice. She was so proud of Hunter.
Hunter said he wasn’t interested in Ms Smith’s class before because he thought he would never use it in his life, but her great teaching helped him know what to do when in trouble. Then he said, “I just thought that doing something was better than doing nothing”.
46. What was Hunter doing when Jackson choked?
A. Telling a joke. B. Having an English class.
C. Having lunch. D. Learning the Heimlich maneuver.
47. How did Ms Smith feel when she heard what had happened?
A. Proud. B. Sad. C. Nervous. D. Unbelievable
48. Put the following events in the right order according to the passage.
①Jackson ate a chicken sandwich in the dining hall.
②Hunter used the Heimlich maneuver to save Jackson.
③Hunter learnt the Heimlich maneuver in Ms Smith’s class.
④Ms Smith was happy that the students applied what she taught.
A. ③①④② B. ③①②④ C. ①②④③ D. ①③②④
E
The Dead Sea is located in the Jordan Rift Valley in Asia. It sits at about 430 metres below sea level, making it the lowest point on earth’s land.
What’s interesting is that the Dead Sea isn’t actually a sea. It’s a lake with a salt concentration (含盐度) of more than 30 per cent, which is about ten times saltier than typical seawater. This makes it one of the saltiest bodies of water on earth.
The Dead Sea stays so salty due to its special natural conditions. Each year, it receives very little rainfall, and only a small amount of fresh water flows into it. And the hot weather around the Dead Sea causes the fresh water to evaporate (蒸发) quickly, which makes the salt concentration even higher. So it is also known as the Salt Sea.
If you were to swim in the Dead Sea, you wouldn’t see any sea life—no plants or animals. The high salt concentration makes it impossible for them to survive there. That’s actually why it’s called the Dead Sea.
However, don’t let the name or not having any sea life scare you. Even if you fall into the Dead Sea and can’t swim, you won’t die. The high concentration of salt in the Dead Sea allows anyone to float well, without the need for life buoys (救生圈). In fact, many people visit the Dead Sea every year on vacation. If you walk along the shore (海岸), you’ll likely see many people floating in the water, reading books or newspapers.
49. Where is the Dead Sea?
A. In the middle of a desert. B. On top of a high mountain.
C. In a rift valley in Asia. D. In a deep valley in America.
50. Why did the Dead Sea get its name “Dead Sea”?
A. It has no living things. B. No water runs into it.
C. It has very little rainfall. D. No people live around it.
51. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Swimming in the Dead Sea is tiring.
B. The Dead Sea is a popular place for tourists.
C. The salt in the Dead Sea is bad for people’s skin.
D. The Dead Sea is dangerous for people who can’t swim.
52. What’s the purpose of this passage?
A. To show how the Dead Sea formed.
B. To explain how the Dead Sea got its name.
C. To let people know more about the Dead Sea.
D. To teach people how to float in the Dead Sea.
F
China is a treasure chest (珍宝箱) of culture and history. But many people from other countries know little about China, maybe except for the Great Wall, giant pandas or kung fu.
We can learn more about a country by reading its literature. Literature is a mirror of society and culture. I first entered the Chinese literary world through a translation of Lu Xun’s “Diary of a Madman”, which I read for my high school English class in Australia. Published in 1918, “Diary of a Madman” is about a “madman” who worries that everyone around him wants to eat him. As I read it, I kept wondering, “Is he really mad?” Later I found out that Lu Xun used the madman as a metaphor (比喻) for the madness of his society. Back then, China had a feudal society (封建社会). The ruling class (统治阶级) treated ordinary people badly. Lu Xun was very unhappy about this and wanted to express his feelings.
After reading it, I realized I had so much more to learn about China. I hope my Chinese will be good enough one day so I can read more Chinese literature.
53. What do people from other countries usually know about China? (不超过10个词)
______________________________________________
54. What does the “madman” really refer to? (不超过6个词)
______________________________________________
55. How did Lu Xun feel about the society then? (不超过5个词)
______________________________________________

V. 单项填空(共10小题;每小题1分,计分10分)
请认真阅读下列各题,从题中所给的A,B,C,D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
1. Lucy hit her head against the wall when reading the ________ on the phone. Luckily, she wasn’t hurt.
A. language B. idea C. message D. video
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:露西在看手机上的消息时头撞到了墙上。幸运的是,她没有受伤。
language语言;idea主意;message信息;video视频。根据“reading”和“on the phone”可知,此处指阅读手机上的文字信息,message符合语境。
2. ________ he is, he always thinks about his parents.
A. No matter who B. No matter where C. No matter when D. No matter which
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:无论他在哪里,他总是想着他的父母。
No matter who无论是谁;No matter where无论在哪里;No matter when无论何时;No matter which无论哪一个。根据“he always thinks about his parents”可知,此处表达无论身处何处,他都思念父母。
3. —I ________ return to my village at least once a year, but I haven’t been back for three years now.
—You mean that you ________ the city life here now?

【详解】句意:——我过去一年至少回一次村子,但我已经三年没回去了。——你的意思是你已经习惯这里的城市生活了?
考查动词短语。used to do sth过去常常做某事;be used to sth习惯于某事。根据“return to my village at least once a year”可知,第一空指过去常常回老家;根据“the city life here now”可知,第二空指现在习惯了城市生活。故选A。
4. — Art serves as a ________ between different nations.
— I agree. It really helps cross-cultural communication.
A. mountain B. wall C. bridge D. ticket
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——艺术是不同国家之间的桥梁。——我同意。它确实有助于跨文化交流。
mountain山;wall墙;bridge桥梁;ticket票。根据“It really helps cross-cultural communication.”可知,艺术有助于跨文化交流,起到了连接不同国家的作用,因此是“桥梁”。
5. —As you see, AI is used in many fields.
—Yes, it is very ________ that AI has become a part of people’s daily life.
A. clean B. crowded C. clear D. slow
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——正如你所见,人工智能被应用于许多领域。——是的,很明显人工智能已成为人们日常生活的一部分。
clean干净的;crowded拥挤的;clear明显的;slow慢的。根据上文“As you see”可知,说话者认为这是一个显而易见的事实,clear符合语境。
6. The little boy didn’t stop crying ________ his mother bought him a toy.
A. until B. when C. unless D. because
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:小男孩直到他妈妈给他买了一个玩具才停止哭泣。
考查连词辨析。until直到;when当……时;unless除非;because因为。根据“The little boy didn’t stop crying...his mother bought him a toy.”可知,此处指直到妈妈给他买玩具小男孩才停止哭泣,固定搭配not...until...“直到……才……”符合题意。故选A。
7. —Where is your father?
—He ________ Shanghai. He has ________ there for a week.
A. has gone to; gone B. has been in; gone C. has gone to; been D. has been to; been
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你父亲在哪里?——他去上海了,他在那里一周了。
考查现在完成时。has gone to去了某地,未回;has been in去了某地,还在那里;has been to曾经去过某地,已回。根据“Where is your father?”可知,父亲去了上海,未回,故第一空用has gone to;根据“for a week”可知,父亲待在上海一周了,说明还在上海,故用has been in,空后是副词there,要省略介词in。故选C。
8. My uncle ______ from his hometown for nearly two years. He will go back next week.
A. left B. has left C. has been away D. has been left
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:我叔叔离开家乡将近两年了。他下周将回去。
考查动词时态。根据“for nearly two years”可知,句子表示一个从过去开始并持续到现在的状态,要用现在完成时,谓语动词应用延续性动词。leave“离开”,是瞬间动词,不能与表示一段时间的状语连用;be away“离开”,表示一种状态,可以与时间段连用,主语My uncle为第三人称单数,结合现在完成时结构,因此用has been away。故选C。
9. Mom doesn’t ________ much from this plant, because it’s not getting enough sunlight.
A. express B. excuse C. expect D. explain
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:妈妈对这株植物没抱太大期望,因为它得不到足够的阳光。
考查动词辨析。express表达;excuse原谅;expect期望;explain解释。根据“because it’s not getting enough sunlight”可知,植物生长条件不好,因此妈妈不会对它有过高的“期望”。故选C。
10. — What about visiting Shanghai Disney Resort this May Day holiday?
—________. By bus or by train?
A. I’m not sure B. Sounds great C. No way D. I’m afraid not
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——这个五一假期去参观上海迪士尼度假区怎么样?——听起来不错。坐公共汽车还是坐火车?
I’m not sure我不确定;Sounds great听起来很棒(表示赞同对方的提议);No way没门(表示强烈拒绝);I’m afraid not恐怕不行(委婉拒绝)。根据答语后半句“By bus or by train?”可知,说话人正在商量具体的交通方式,说明对提议持赞同态度。Sounds great听起来不错,表示赞同,符合语境。

【导语】本文讲述了郑宇啸和他的摄影团队深入贵州乡村,为村民免费拍照记录生活变迁的故事,展现了十年间乡村的发展与照片背后的温暖意义。
【11题详解】
句意:他们去过贵州80多个村庄,免费为村民拍照,记录这些年来发生的变化。
根据上下文,团队去乡村服务,拍照的对象是村民,villagers“村民”符合语境。
【12题详解】
句意:一些老人和孩子以前从未拍过自己的照片。
此处指代“Some elderly people and children”,表示“他们自己”,应用反身代词themselves。ourselves的主语必须是“we”,himself/herself只能对应单数主语,均无法与复数主语匹配。
【13题详解】
句意:当他们第一次看到自己的照片时,他们的眼里充满了喜悦。
上文讲到老人和孩子们以前从未拍过自己的照片,所以推断第一次看到自己的照片,人们会感到开心,joy“喜悦”符合语境。
【14题详解】
句意:十多年过去了,这个团队仍然非常活跃。
根据后文“To keep the project going”可知,团队一直坚持项目,active“活跃的”符合语境。
【15题详解】
句意:为了让项目继续下去,团队成员曾经在业余时间通过收集和出售旧书和瓶子来赚钱。
收集旧书和瓶子的目的是赚钱,selling“出售”符合语境,与“赚钱”的逻辑相符。
【16题详解】
句意:他遇到了多年前拍过照的一位村民,发现这个村庄经历了巨大的变化。
根据上下文,村庄经历了变化,gone through“经历”符合语境。
【17题详解】
句意:“我的新房子是六年前建的,现在又明亮又舒适。”村民告诉郑。
与破旧的旧房子相比,新房子是明亮且舒适的,comfortable“舒适的”符合语境,与“bright”并列描述的正面特征相符。
【18题详解】
句意:那时候,我的家庭很贫穷。
根据后文“Now I can get 20,000 yuan to 30,000 yuan a year”的对比,过去的家庭状况是poor“贫穷的”。
【19题详解】
句意:现在我一年能挣2万到3万元,我丈夫挣得更多,足够养家了。
根据语境,收入足够支撑家庭生活,support“养活/支撑”符合语境。
【20题详解】
句意:在那一刻,郑意识到他拍的照片不仅记录了许多快乐的时刻,也展示了这些村庄所经历的变化。
全文围绕“摄影团队拍照”展开,pictures“照片”符合语境。

Last summer, my family and I decided to have a “staycation” (宅度假) instead of travelling far away. We wanted to ____21____ our city like tourists.

The first day, we visited an art museum, ____22____ we had never been to before. It was full of ____23____ local paintings. In the afternoon, we walked through the old streets and tried some traditional snacks. They were delicious!
The next day, we went to the city park and rented some bikes. We cycled around the lake in the park, ____24____ the fresh air. It was so peaceful! We watched a beautiful sunset from the window of our hotel room. My little sister said, “Our city is beautiful! We didn’t know it has so many wonderful places.”
This special holiday taught me that you ____25____ need to go far to have a good time. Sometimes, the best adventures are right on your doorstep. It also made me ____26____ my hometown more. We often look for beauty in faraway places, but forget to appreciate what we have around us.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者一家去年夏天在家乡进行“宅度假”的经历与感悟。
【21题详解】
句意:我们想像游客一样探索我们的城市。
根据上下文“宅度假”的目的是像游客一样游览家乡,explore意为“探索”,符合语境。leave离开、change改变、build建造均与“像游客一样游览家乡”的行为不符。
【22题详解】
句意:第一天,我们参观了一个我们以前从未去过的艺术博物馆。
本句为非限制性定语从句,先行词是事物“an art museum”,关系词在从句中作“去过”的宾语,应用which。where在从句中作地点状语,who用于指代人,when用于指代时间,均不符合句法结构。
【23题详解】
句意:里面满是令人惊叹的当地画作。
结合参观艺术博物馆的积极语境,画作应是精彩动人的,amazing意为“令人惊叹的”,符合语境。boring无聊的与参观体验相悖,ancient古老的、modern现代的文中未体现,无法确定画作年代特征。
【24题详解】
句意:我们在公园的湖边骑车,享受新鲜空气。
结合在公园骑行的惬意场景,此处表示“享受新鲜空气”,enjoying意为“享受”,符合语境。making制造、cleaning清洁、wasting浪费均与“新鲜空气”搭配不当,不符合场景。
【25题详解】
句意:这个特别的假期教会我,你不必去很远的地方也能玩得开心。
根据后文“最好的冒险就在家门口”,说明不必去远方,never意为“从不、绝不”,贴合作者的感悟。always总是、often经常、sometimes有时均与文意相反。
【26题详解】
句意:这也让我更加为我的家乡感到自豪。
经历家乡游玩后,作者心生归属感与自豪感,take pride in意为“以……为荣”,符合语境。worry about担心、look for寻找、get away from逃离均与作者对家乡的积极情感不符。
【27题详解】
句意:这次“宅度假”不仅有趣,而且有意义。
后文提到假期放松身心、维系亲情、绿色环保等优点,体现假期的价值,meaningful意为“有意义的”,贴合整体积极语境。tiring累人的、expensive昂贵的、difficult困难的均与后文的积极描述相悖。
【28题详解】
句意:这是一个很好的放松方式,和家人联结,没有长途旅行的压力。
a great way to do sth.表示“做某事的好方式”,结合句意此处指“宅度假”是放松的好方式,way意为“方式、方法”,符合固定用法。problem问题、reason原因、excuse借口均不符合固定搭配与语境。
【29题详解】
句意:我肯定会向任何想要不同假期的人推荐这个主意。
作者认可宅度假的模式,愿意分享给他人,recommend意为“推荐”,符合句意。receive接收、refuse拒绝、remember记得均与“向他人分享想法”的逻辑不符。
【30题详解】
句意:这是一个省钱和减少碳足迹的好方法,对我们的星球有好处。
宅度假无需长途出行,花销更少,save money意为“省钱”,贴合环保、低成本的文章主旨。spend花费与“减少碳足迹”的积极逻辑相悖,raise筹集、borrow借均与语境不符。

【导语】本文是Susan和爸爸的对话,Susan因与好友的关系变化感到困扰,爸爸倾听她的烦恼并给出了分析和建议。
【31题详解】
后文Susan介绍了和好友的矛盾情况,所以此处应是爸爸询问发生了什么,B选项“What happened?”符合语境。
【32题详解】
后文Susan说明了好友的具体变化(“She doesn’t want me to talk with my other friends.”),所以此处应是爸爸询问好友具体哪里不一样了,E选项“Can you tell me how she’s different?”符合语境。
【33题详解】
后文Susan回答“Yes, I have. But she refused to listen.”,所以此处应是爸爸询问她是否和好友沟通过,D选项“Have you mentioned this to her?”符合语境。
【34题详解】
后文Susan回答“No, I don’t know.”,所以此处应是爸爸询问她是否知道好友这么做的原因,G选项“Do you know why she treats you like that?”符合语境。
【35题详解】
前文爸爸猜测“Maybe she doesn’t feel sure of herself.”,后文Susan表示认同并询问怎么办,所以此处应是补充另一种可能的原因,F选项“Or she probably feels lonely without you.”符合语境。

Located in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, Tengwang Pavilion (滕王阁) is one of the three famous pavilions in southern China. Built during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), it was named after Prince Teng, the younger brother of Emperor Taizong. Although the original (起初的) structure was destroyed and rebuilt 29 times over all history, today’s pavilion, completed in 1989, still shows traditional Chinese architectural (建筑学的) beauty.

The most famous work is Preface to Tengwang Pavilion by Wang Bo, a talented poet from the Tang Dynasty. His writing not only describes the pavilion’s beauty but also expresses deep feelings about life and nature.
Today, Tengwang Pavilion is not just a tourist attraction but also a cultural landmark. It teaches us about China’s artistic achievements and the importance of protecting history.

B
Are you a book-lover but feeling you don’t have enough time to read? Don’t worry. You can find out the solutions (解决方法) right here.
Firstly, don’t read before bed. Most people keep their reading on their nightstands (床头柜). If you read at night, you will probably only get through a few pages before you get sleepy. Instead, I suggest reading before work. Even if you’re not an early bird, use the time you spend checking WeChat every morning to read some lines on the phone.
Secondly, make good use of the time when you’re on the way to work. For example, if you take the bus or underground to work, you can use this time to read. A half-hour commute (通勤) can easily turn into five hours of reading time every week — enough for most people to read a whole book.
Thirdly, ▲ . Before you tell me how much you “enjoy the smell of the printed books”, let me try to tell you the convenience (便利) of reading on the e-book app on your smartphone: you’ll always have your “books” with you, and most importantly, you can always get through a little reading in those lost minutes of the day — waiting in line for coffee, during business breaks and so on. Those pages add up fast.
What’s more, if a book makes you feel terrible, stop reading it. You don’t need to waste time reading a book that is not good. In fact, it’s more likely to make you quit your reading habit. Surely, you might think it’s necessary to finish a book which you spent five painful hours on. However, you can simply put it down.
39. Which of the following sentence can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 4?
A. carry your books all the time B. paper books always come first
C. read on your phone if possible D. read when you’re having coffee
40. What does the underlined word “quit” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Make. B. Correct. C. Enjoy. D. Break.
41. What can we know according to the passage?
A. The writer thinks you should keep reading all the books you choose.
B. The writer thinks reading on the way to work is a good way to spend time.
C. The writer thinks you had better get up as early as you can to spend time reading.
D. The writer thinks reading on the e-book app on your smartphone is inconvenient.
42. Why does the writer write this passage?
A. To ask people to make a reading plan.
B. To help people save time for reading.
C. To advise people to read more e-books.
D. To show people the importance of reading.
【答案】39. C 40. D 41. B 42. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了几种为读书爱好者节省阅读时间的实用方法。
【39题详解】
第四段主要介绍用手机电子书阅读的便利性,提到“reading on the e-book app on your smartphone”,因此横线处应选“read on your phone if possible”,引出下文的建议。
【40题详解】
第五段提到“if a book makes you feel terrible, stop reading it... it’s more likely to make you quit your reading habit”,结合上下文可知,读一本糟糕的书可能会让你放弃阅读习惯,因此“quit”意为“放弃、中断”,与“Break”含义相近。
【41题详解】
第三段提到“make good use of the time when you’re on the way to work... A half-hour commute can easily turn into five hours of reading time every week”,说明作者认为通勤路上阅读是利用时间的好方式。
【42题详解】
文章开头提到“Are you a book-lover but feeling you don’t have enough time to read? Don’t worry. You can find out the solutions right here”,全文围绕如何为阅读节省时间展开,因此作者的写作目的是帮助人们为阅读节省时间。
C
I used to live in a small town with trees all around. It has been about thirty years since I left my hometown. But I still remember what it was exactly like. And I often “see” it in many of my dreams. My hometown is a beautiful place. It stands beside a wide river and is rich in fish and rice.
But in the old days, the little town was a poor and backward one. Many people had no work. They lived a hard life. There was no tall building and the only street was narrow, but trees and flowers made the town beautiful. Just outside the town, there was a river. You could see different kinds of fish swimming in the clear water. People here lived a simple life.
Since the government took a new policy, great changes have taken place there. The streets have been widened. Factories, schools, hospitals, cinemas and theatres have been built one after another. People’s life is greatly improved. You can see tall buildings, big department stores and factories everywhere. Different kinds of cars and buses are running in the wide streets.
But with the development of the industry, we have fewer trees. Air pollution and water pollution are becoming more and more serious. And there are also other problems. We should try our best to make it richer. At the same time, we must do something to stop pollution and make our hometown even more beautiful.
43. When did the writer leave his hometown?

【导语】这篇文章讲述了作者家乡过去与现在的变化,既展现了发展带来的进步,也提到了随之而来的环境问题。
【43题详解】
根据原文第一段“It has been about thirty years since I left my hometown.”,可知作者大约三十年前离开了家乡。
【44题详解】
根据原文第二段“But in the old days, the little town was a poor and backward one... but trees and flowers made the town beautiful.”,可知过去的家乡虽然贫穷,但因为有花草树木而美丽。
【45题详解】

A boy helped save the life of his friend from choking (窒息) in the dining hall at school while having their lunch there. Many people watched the video of the accident on the Internet.
In the video, the new student Jackson just got a seat and ate his chicken sandwich. Suddenly, the food stuck (卡住) in his throat and his face turned red. Hunter Olsen sat across from Jackson.
He thought that Jackson was just joking and laughed at him along with his friends. But soon it became clear that Jackson was choking and tried to cough out the food. He pointed to his throat to tell Hunter that he was not joking. Hunter realized that he had to do something and used the Heimlich maneuver (海姆立克急救法). Finally, Jackson coughed out the food and could breathe again.
Ms Smith, who taught them the Heimlich maneuver during her health class, said she couldn’t believe her ears when she heard what had happened. But she was happy to know that her student put what she taught into practice. She was so proud of Hunter.
Hunter said he wasn’t interested in Ms Smith’s class before because he thought he would never use it in his life, but her great teaching helped him know what to do when in trouble. Then he said, “I just thought that doing something was better than doing nothing”.
46. What was Hunter doing when Jackson choked?
A. Telling a joke. B. Having an English class.
C. Having lunch. D. Learning the Heimlich maneuver.

【导语】本文讲述了学生Hunter在学校食堂用餐时,用课上学到的海姆立克急救法,成功救助了被食物卡住喉咙的同学Jackson的故事。
【46题详解】
根据原文第一段“A boy helped save the life of his friend from choking in the dining hall at school while having their lunch there.”和第二段内容,可知Jackson被食物卡住时,Hunter正在食堂吃午饭。
【47题详解】

The Dead Sea is located in the Jordan Rift Valley in Asia. It sits at about 430 metres below sea level, making it the lowest point on earth’s land.
What’s interesting is that the Dead Sea isn’t actually a sea. It’s a lake with a salt concentration (含盐度) of more than 30 per cent, which is about ten times saltier than typical seawater. This makes it one of the saltiest bodies of water on earth.
The Dead Sea stays so salty due to its special natural conditions. Each year, it receives very little rainfall, and only a small amount of fresh water flows into it. And the hot weather around the Dead Sea causes the fresh water to evaporate (蒸发) quickly, which makes the salt concentration even higher. So it is also known as the Salt Sea.
If you were to swim in the Dead Sea, you wouldn’t see any sea life—no plants or animals. The high salt concentration makes it impossible for them to survive there. That’s actually why it’s called the Dead Sea.
However, don’t let the name or not having any sea life scare you. Even if you fall into the Dead Sea and can’t swim, you won’t die. The high concentration of salt in the Dead Sea allows anyone to float well, without the need for life buoys (救生圈). In fact, many people visit the Dead Sea every year on vacation. If you walk along the shore (海岸), you’ll likely see many people floating in the water, reading books or newspapers.
49. Where is the Dead Sea?

China is a treasure chest (珍宝箱) of culture and history. But many people from other countries know little about China, maybe except for the Great Wall, giant pandas or kung fu.
We can learn more about a country by reading its literature. Literature is a mirror of society and culture. I first entered the Chinese literary world through a translation of Lu Xun’s “Diary of a Madman”, which I read for my high school English class in Australia. Published in 1918, “Diary of a Madman” is about a “madman” who worries that everyone around him wants to eat him. As I read it, I kept wondering, “Is he really mad?” Later I found out that Lu Xun used the madman as a metaphor (比喻) for the madness of his society. Back then, China had a feudal society (封建社会). The ruling class (统治阶级) treated ordinary people badly. Lu Xun was very unhappy about this and wanted to express his feelings.
After reading it, I realized I had so much more to learn about China. I hope my Chinese will be good enough one day so I can read more Chinese literature.
