Here’s some useful information about Chinese family meals and my house rules. When having meals with my family, we usually wait for the elders to start eating first. Also, we don’t stick chopsticks upright into the bowl of rice, as it looks like incense for the dead. In my family, there are a few rules. For example, I must finish my homework before using my phone. Besides, everyone should keep their own room clean and go to bed before 10:30 pm on school nights. My advice is: just relax and watch what we do. Don’t worry too much about small mistakes. We’re happy to have you!

She wanted to be an architect (建筑师). Of course, that meant lots of schooling. She would need to take different courses. Luna hurried to her first class. Mr. Smith, her English teacher, stood at the blackboard, writing out instructions. “Today we’re going to learn about metaphors (隐喻),” he said. “Group up in threes. You’ll work together to create a metaphorical picture to show how you feel about your future.” Luna knew about metaphors. “Sometimes English class is a maze (迷宫) that I get lost in. This is a metaphor,” she thought. Then Luna made a group with two other girls. “What should we draw?” Luna asked. Madeline said, “We can draw a forest.” “Right,” said Luna. “Our future is a forest. It feels endless and scary.” “Well,” Madeline said, “I’m good at drawing trees.” Katy said, “Luna is good at drawing everything. We don’t have to choose a forest. What about a city full of tall buildings?” Luna smiled, “What about drawing buildings that we design ourselves?” The other girls said, “Good idea!” Luna picked up a pencil and began to draw. Katy and Madeline stood, watching their future taking shape right there on the page. 59. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Taking courses. B. Going to school. C.

This day happens on the first Sunday of May every year. It was started by Dr. Madan Kataria, a doctor from India, in 1998. Its goal is to achieve health, happiness and world peace through laughter. Dr. Kataria encouraged people to join laughter groups where they could meet up and laugh in public. Over 12,000 people came to the first event, and since then it has caught on around the world. Nobody knows for sure why people laugh, but all human cultures have laughter. Even babies laugh before they can talk! Dr. Kataria found that when people fake (假装) laughing, it often causes real laughter. “Our body doesn’t know the difference between acting happy and being really happy, so we can fake laughing until the laughter comes naturally,” he said. On World Laughter Day, lots of people meet up in parks or squares to laugh together. They do Laughter Yoga, a kind of exercise that mixes laughing and deep breathing. There may also be music and dancing. They even have competitions to see who has the best laugh. If you can’t find a Laughter Day event near you, you could watch a funny movie to join in the fun. Remember, the spirit of World Laughter Day is all about bringing joy and laughter into every day of the year. 62. What does the underlined part “caught on” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Got lost. B. Made changes. C. Caused problems. D. Become popular. 63. Which of the following will Dr. Kataria most probably agree with? A. Babies learn to laugh before they talk. B. False laughing can cause real happiness. C. Scientists found out why people laugh. D. Our body knows clearly when we are acting happy. 64. What are the last two paragraphs mainly about? A. The spirit of World Laughter Day. B. The history of World Laughter Day. C. How to celebrate World Laughter Day. D. When to celebrate World Laughter Day. 65. Why did the writer write the text? A. To show scientific ways of laughing. B. To introduce a new holiday about happiness. C. To encourage people to always stay happy. D. To collect ideas for celebrating World Laughter Day. D Do you wish your pet could talk? Well, some animals online are doing just that. With the help of their owners’ training and some special buttons (按钮), pets are learning to “talk” in their own ways. A popular pet is Merlin, an 8-month-old mini pig. His owner, Mina Alali, put videos of him using buttons to communicate online. Each button has a different word, like “walk” or “food”. Merlin presses them to let Mina know what he wants. Some pet dogs, cats, monkeys and even horses have all been doing the same. Bunny the Talking Dog is another star online with over 8 million fans. She can use over 50 buttons to make sentences and ask questions, though it sometimes takes her owner a while to understand what she means. However, for a pet, it’s still amazing! So, how do you teach a pet to “talk”? First, get some buttons that you can record your voice on. Then, use words your pet hears often, like “snack”, “walk”, or “play”. Say the words clearly many times before you press the buttons. For example, “Want a SNACK? Let’s get a SNACK!” Next, put the buttons in a quiet, easy-to-reach place. At last, teach your pet to press it with a paw (爪) or nose. Making them happy by giving them a real snack when they try! 66. How does the writer start the text? A. By telling a story. B. By sharing a secret. C. By asking a question. D. By sharing an experience. 67. Why does the writer talk about Merlin and Bunny? A. To give examples of pets that can “talk” B.

E Desertification (沙漠化) is a big problem in some parts of China, but people have found many ways to fight it. Here are some methods to control deserts and turn them into green land. First, planting trees and grass is the most common way. Their roots (根) help hold the soil together and stop the sand from moving. For example, the “Green Great Wall” project in northern China has planted millions of trees to stop the spread of deserts. Grass is also planted to cover the sand and stop the wind. Second, using straw checkerboards (草方格) is a smart idea. People lay straw in square shapes on the sand. These squares break the wind and keep the sand from spreading. Over time, plants can grow inside these squares, making the land greener. Third, in dry areas, people use drip irrigation (滴灌) to water plants. Drip irrigation sends water directly to plant roots. It can save water. This helps plants grow even in very dry conditions. Finally, education plays an important role. The government has made rules to protect the environment, and schools teach students why it’s important to stop desertification. 69. What’s the main use of tree roots according to the second paragraph? A. To keep the soil from blowing away. B. To cover the sand and stop the wind. C. To make the soil rich for grass to grow. D. To bring more water to dry areas. 70. How do straw checkerboards help fight desertification? A. They make the land wetter and warmer. B. They make the desert look more beautiful. C. They provide food for animals in the desert. D. They stop the wind and keep the sand from moving. 71. How does education play a role in fighting desertification? A. Students learn how to plant trees in deserts. B. Schools teach students how to use straw checkerboards. C. Students learn the importance of stopping desertification. D. Schools ask students to plant trees and grass to stop the wind. 72. What is the best title for the text? A. Sandstorms in Northern China B. How China Fights Desertification C. The Importance of Planting Trees D. The Problems of Desertification in China 第二节 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题后面的词数要求）。 F One day, Confucius walked with his students in the mountains. They saw a strange tree. Its body wasn’t straight or tall like other trees. It grew in a special shape. Zi Lu, a proud student, laughed. “Master, this tree is no use! A person who cuts trees wouldn’t want it. It cannot be used to build houses or make tools. It’s a failure.” Confucius didn’t speak. He asked the students to sit under the tree’s wide parts. They enjoyed the cool shade (阴凉) and were protected from the sun. After some time, Confucius asked, “Zi Lu, are you comfortable here?” “Yes,” Zi Lu answered. “Look at the parts of this tree,” Confucius said. “They’re strong and can move easily. They’ve lived through many storms. They can bend (弯曲) but won’t break.” He continued, “This tree didn’t grow as people wished. It met hard rocks and changed its way of growing to live and grow well. Now, it gives us a place to rest and shade. It has its own use, which isn’t the same as straight trees used for building.” Confucius looked at his students. “A good student is like this tree. Don’t try to be just like everyone else. Life will have hard times and difficulties. Sometimes, you must change and find your own smart way to grow.” 73.
