A good book can bring you joy and knowledge, while a bad one may make you feel bored and waste your time. Here are some simple ways to help you choose a good book easily. First, follow your heart. Choose the books that you are interested in. If you like animals, you can choose books about animals; if you like adventure, adventure books are a good choice. Reading what you like will make you feel relaxed and happy, and you will be more willing to finish the book. Second, check the writer. A good writer can write good books. Famous writers have rich writing experience and their works are usually of high quality. You can check the writer’s other works and see if they are popular among readers. This can help you make a good choice. Third, read the first few chapters. The first few chapters of a book can tell you a lot about it. You can know the writer’s writing style, the main content of the book and even the characters. If you like the first few chapters, you will probably like the whole book. Fourth, ask for recommendations. You can ask your teachers, parents, classmates or librarians for book recommendations. They know you well or know a lot about books, and they can tell you which books are suitable for you. You can also join a book club and share book recommendations with other readers. Choosing a good book is the first step to a happy reading experience. Don’t be in a hurry to choose a book. Take your time and find the book that is right for you. Believe it or not, a good book can change your life. 26．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The importance of reading good books. B．Ways to choose a good book. C．Different types of good books.

For others, it might be a famous love sonnet (十四行诗) written by William Shakespeare. Some poems describe the beauty of nature, and some discuss questions about family. There are long epic (史诗) poems that tell of heroes and monsters. On the other hand, there are Chinese jueju (绝句), which have just four lines. When it comes to poetry, there is something for everybody. Some people say reading a poem is better than diving into a normal story. What do you think? Yes—poems are fun to learn and recite (背诵) The great thing about poems is that they come in all shapes and sizes. Short poems are perfect for when you don’t have much time—certainly not enough time to read a whole book. With a few words, poetry can be beautiful, thoughtful and influential. Poems are great because you can memorize them and share them with your friends; it’s harder to do that with a story. Poems can be song lyrics (歌词) too—you could learn one by heart and recite it on the way to school. A book of poems gives you lots of themes all in one place, offering you much more than just one story. No—you can get lost in a story for days. It’s because poems are mostly so short that they are not as good as stories. It’s much more enjoyable to curl (蜷缩) up with a good book, to keep coming back to it, chapter after chapter, rather than read a poem that you might have forgotten by tomorrow. It’s more enjoyable to really get to know the characters of a story and go on a journey with them. Besides, poems can be quite hard to understand, especially old ones that were written centuries ago. Novels usually have more information about characters and settings (背景), which means you get to step into a whole new world and escape from reality. You also find out what happens in the end, while with some poems you are left wondering what they really mean. 31．Which is TRUE about the types of poems? A．Limericks are funny poems with three lines. B．Love sonnets describe the beauty of nature. C．Epic poems discuss questions about family. D．Jueju are short poems appearing in China. 32．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Everybody loves reading poems. B．People have similar interest in poems. C．Poetry can meet different people’s tastes. D．Poetry influences people in the same way. 33．Who do you think prefers stories to poems? A．Amy: I like short and beautiful words. B．Lily: I want to know more about the characters. C．Millie: I have a strong interest in song lyrics. D．Simon: I want to recite what I read in a short time. 34．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Why We Should All Memorize Poems B．Short and Sweet: The Art of Poetry C．Poems VS Stories: Which One Wins? D．A Journey Through Poems and Novels 35．Where is the passage probably taken from? A．A literature magazine. B．A sports website. C．A science fiction. D．A book review. D These days, many kids like collecting special items called “goods (商品)”. Fans in China often call them “guzi”. Among these goods, the most popular is the badge (徽章), known as “baji”. These badges are usually small and round, and there are pictures of characters from famous cartoons on them. However, not every company can sell badges. Only some cartoon companies have the right to sell those badges, and their prices differ a lot. Usually, common badges might cost 15 to 30 yuan while prices of some limited edition (限量版) ones can go crazy. For example, a badge of a character once sold for 72,000 yuan. Why are teenagers so into badges? Maybe in their eyes, it’s a way to show love for their favorite cartoons. When fans wear a badge of their favorite character on their bag or jacket, they feel close to that character and the story. It’s like carrying a piece of that magical world with them. Besides, ________. At anime conventions (漫展), you can see some badge lovers talking to each other, buying or selling badges, and making friends. They know they’re part of a big group of people who love the same things. But sometimes, this love can turn into something bad. Some fans spend too much money on badges. They might use the money for breakfast to buy an expensive badge. Others get really angry if they can’t get the badge they want, or if someone else has a better collection. This is because they care so much about showing they’re the biggest fans. Collecting “baji” and other “guzi” can be a fun hobby. It’s great to express your love for cartoons and make friends. But it’s also important to remember not to spend too much money or get too stressed about it. After all, the real magic of cartoons is in the stories and the feelings they give us, not just in the badges we collect. 36．Why are some badges very expensive? A．Because they are made of gold. B．Because their sizes are usually very big. C．Because they are limited editions. D．Because they have no popular characters. 37．Which sentence uses the word “right” with the same meaning as in Paragraph 2? A．Most people are used to using their right hands. B．We should be able to right the wrongs of our past. C．You have no right to stop me going into this public park. D．Things aren’t right between the two brothers after the fight. 38．Which part can be put in the _________? A．some fans like to buy or sell badges at online stores B．teenagers usually ask their parents to pay for them C．pictures of characters on badges are from popular cartoons D．it helps fans feel like they are a member of some group 39．What’s the main purpose of this passage? A．To explain why teenagers are crazy about goods. B．To introduce different kinds of famous cartoons. C．To stop teenagers from buying any kind of badges. D．To advise teenagers not to get lost in collecting badges. 40．What is the real magic of cartoons according to the last paragraph? A．The expensive badges we collect. B．The stories and feelings they give us. C．The big group of badge lovers. D．The limited edition badges. 四、阅读还原(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 阅读短文，从方框中选出合适的句子将短文补充完整。 People used to think fishing was for older people. But now it’s becoming popular among young people.

Yes—poems are fun to learn and recite (背诵) The great thing about poems is that they come in all shapes and sizes. Short poems are perfect for when you don’t have much time—certainly not enough time to read a whole book. With a few words, poetry can be beautiful, thoughtful and influential. Poems are great because you can memorize them and share them with your friends; it’s harder to do that with a story. Poems can be song lyrics (歌词) too—you could learn one by heart and recite it on the way to school. A book of poems gives you lots of themes all in one place, offering you much more than just one story. No—you can get lost in a story for days. It’s because poems are mostly so short that they are not as good as stories. It’s much more enjoyable to curl (蜷缩) up with a good book, to keep coming back to it, chapter after chapter, rather than read a poem that you might have forgotten by tomorrow. It’s more enjoyable to really get to know the characters of a story and go on a journey with them. Besides, poems can be quite hard to understand, especially old ones that were written centuries ago. Novels usually have more information about characters and settings (背景), which means you get to step into a whole new world and escape from reality. You also find out what happens in the end, while with some poems you are left wondering what they really mean. 31．Which is TRUE about the types of poems? A．Limericks are funny poems with three lines.

A．A literature magazine. B．A sports website. C．A science fiction. D．A book review. D These days, many kids like collecting special items called “goods (商品)”. Fans in China often call them “guzi”. Among these goods, the most popular is the badge (徽章), known as “baji”. These badges are usually small and round, and there are pictures of characters from famous cartoons on them. However, not every company can sell badges. Only some cartoon companies have the right to sell those badges, and their prices differ a lot. Usually, common badges might cost 15 to 30 yuan while prices of some limited edition (限量版) ones can go crazy. For example, a badge of a character once sold for 72,000 yuan. Why are teenagers so into badges? Maybe in their eyes, it’s a way to show love for their favorite cartoons. When fans wear a badge of their favorite character on their bag or jacket, they feel close to that character and the story. It’s like carrying a piece of that magical world with them. Besides, ________. At anime conventions (漫展), you can see some badge lovers talking to each other, buying or selling badges, and making friends. They know they’re part of a big group of people who love the same things. But sometimes, this love can turn into something bad. Some fans spend too much money on badges. They might use the money for breakfast to buy an expensive badge. Others get really angry if they can’t get the badge they want, or if someone else has a better collection. This is because they care so much about showing they’re the biggest fans. Collecting “baji” and other “guzi” can be a fun hobby. It’s great to express your love for cartoons and make friends. But it’s also important to remember not to spend too much money or get too stressed about it. After all, the real magic of cartoons is in the stories and the feelings they give us, not just in the badges we collect. 36．Why are some badges very expensive? A．Because they are made of gold. B．Because their sizes are usually very big. C．Because they are limited editions. D．Because they have no popular characters. 37．Which sentence uses the word “right” with the same meaning as in Paragraph 2? A．Most people are used to using their right hands. B．We should be able to right the wrongs of our past. C．You have no right to stop me going into this public park. D．Things aren’t right between the two brothers after the fight. 38．Which part can be put in the _________? A．some fans like to buy or sell badges at online stores B．teenagers usually ask their parents to pay for them C．pictures of characters on badges are from popular cartoons D．it helps fans feel like they are a member of some group 39．What’s the main purpose of this passage? A．To explain why teenagers are crazy about goods. B．To introduce different kinds of famous cartoons. C．To stop teenagers from buying any kind of badges. D．To advise teenagers not to get lost in collecting badges. 40．What is the real magic of cartoons according to the last paragraph? A．The expensive badges we collect.

For some people, it’s a short, funny limerick (五行打油诗). For others, it might be a famous love sonnet (十四行诗) written by William Shakespeare. Some poems describe the beauty of nature, and some discuss questions about family. There are long epic (史诗) poems that tell of heroes and monsters. On the other hand, there are Chinese jueju (绝句), which have just four lines. When it comes to poetry, there is something for everybody. Some people say reading a poem is better than diving into a normal story. What do you think? Yes—poems are fun to learn and recite (背诵) The great thing about poems is that they come in all shapes and sizes. Short poems are perfect for when you don’t have much time—certainly not enough time to read a whole book. With a few words, poetry can be beautiful, thoughtful and influential. Poems are great because you can memorize them and share them with your friends; it’s harder to do that with a story. Poems can be song lyrics (歌词) too—you could learn one by heart and recite it on the way to school. A book of poems gives you lots of themes all in one place, offering you much more than just one story. No—you can get lost in a story for days. It’s because poems are mostly so short that they are not as good as stories. It’s much more enjoyable to curl (蜷缩) up with a good book, to keep coming back to it, chapter after chapter, rather than read a poem that you might have forgotten by tomorrow. It’s more enjoyable to really get to know the characters of a story and go on a journey with them. Besides, poems can be quite hard to understand, especially old ones that were written centuries ago. Novels usually have more information about characters and settings (背景), which means you get to step into a whole new world and escape from reality. You also find out what happens in the end, while with some poems you are left wondering what they really mean. 31．Which is TRUE about the types of poems? A．Limericks are funny poems with three lines. B．Love sonnets describe the beauty of nature. C．Epic poems discuss questions about family. D．Jueju are short poems appearing in China. 32．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Everybody loves reading poems. B．People have similar interest in poems. C．Poetry can meet different people’s tastes. D．Poetry influences people in the same way. 33．Who do you think prefers stories to poems? A．Amy: I like short and beautiful words. B．Lily: I want to know more about the characters. C．Millie: I have a strong interest in song lyrics. D．Simon: I want to recite what I read in a short time. 34．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Why We Should All Memorize Poems B．Short and Sweet: The Art of Poetry C．Poems VS Stories: Which One Wins? D．A Journey Through Poems and Novels 35．Where is the passage probably taken from? A．A literature magazine. B．A sports website. C．A science fiction.

Fans in China often call them “guzi”. Among these goods, the most popular is the badge (徽章), known as “baji”. These badges are usually small and round, and there are pictures of characters from famous cartoons on them. However, not every company can sell badges. Only some cartoon companies have the right to sell those badges, and their prices differ a lot. Usually, common badges might cost 15 to 30 yuan while prices of some limited edition (限量版) ones can go crazy. For example, a badge of a character once sold for 72,000 yuan. Why are teenagers so into badges? Maybe in their eyes, it’s a way to show love for their favorite cartoons. When fans wear a badge of their favorite character on their bag or jacket, they feel close to that character and the story. It’s like carrying a piece of that magical world with them. Besides, ________. At anime conventions (漫展), you can see some badge lovers talking to each other, buying or selling badges, and making friends. They know they’re part of a big group of people who love the same things. But sometimes, this love can turn into something bad. Some fans spend too much money on badges. They might use the money for breakfast to buy an expensive badge. Others get really angry if they can’t get the badge they want, or if someone else has a better collection. This is because they care so much about showing they’re the biggest fans. Collecting “baji” and other “guzi” can be a fun hobby. It’s great to express your love for cartoons and make friends. But it’s also important to remember not to spend too much money or get too stressed about it. After all, the real magic of cartoons is in the stories and the feelings they give us, not just in the badges we collect. 36．Why are some badges very expensive? A．Because they are made of gold. B．Because their sizes are usually very big. C．Because they are limited editions. D．Because they have no popular characters. 37．Which sentence uses the word “right” with the same meaning as in Paragraph 2? A．Most people are used to using their right hands. B．We should be able to right the wrongs of our past. C．You have no right to stop me going into this public park. D．Things aren’t right between the two brothers after the fight. 38．Which part can be put in the _________? A．some fans like to buy or sell badges at online stores B．teenagers usually ask their parents to pay for them C．pictures of characters on badges are from popular cartoons D．it helps fans feel like they are a member of some group 39．What’s the main purpose of this passage? A．To explain why teenagers are crazy about goods. B．To introduce different kinds of famous cartoons. C．To stop teenagers from buying any kind of badges.

B．The stories and feelings they give us. C．The big group of badge lovers. D．The limited edition badges. 【答案】36．C 37．C 38．D 39．D 40．B 【导语】本文介绍青少年热衷收集动漫徽章的现象、原因，提醒理性消费，不要沉迷其中。 36．第二段介绍价格情况：“while prices of some limited edition ones can go crazy”，这直接说明一些徽章昂贵是因为是限量版。 37．第二段说明售卖权限：“Only some cartoon companies have the right to sell those badges”，此处right意为“权利”；C选项中right也意为“权利”。 38．第三段分析收藏原因：“They know they’re part of a big group of people who love the same things”，这说明收集徽章能让粉丝感觉自己是群体中的一员。 39．最后一段给出合理建议：“But it’s also important to remember not to spend too much money or get too stressed about it”，作者建议青少年不要沉迷收藏徽章。 40．最后一段点明核心内涵：“the real magic of cartoons is in the stories and the feelings they give us”，这直接说明动漫真正的魅力是故事和带给我们的感受。 四、阅读还原(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 阅读短文，从方框中选出合适的句子将短文补充完整。 People used to think fishing was for older people.
