Round, square, or smooth? You may have different answers. But we know that we can describe the earth’s surface through landforms (地形). A landform is a natural mixture of rock and soil found on the earth. Landforms come in different kinds of shapes and sizes. Mountains, small hills, plateaus and plains are the four main kinds of landforms. A landform might be as large as a land or as small as a pool. Landforms are made by some kinds of forces of nature. The force could be wind, water or ice. And it usually takes a very long time to form different landforms. It could be hundreds or thousands of years or even longer. For example, you may see many valleys (山谷). At first, there may have been only one high hill here, but over time, water and wind wore down (侵蚀) two or three sides of the high hill, and then created valleys. Most landforms are formed by water. These processes happen over a long time, sometimes even millions of years. What are the differences among the landforms? Valleys are usually found between hills or with many high mountains around. And there is usually a river at the bottom of the valleys. A delta (三角洲) is another landform created by water. Deltas can be found at the mouths of rivers. They are created when sand, soil and rock mix together. Hills and mountains are other landforms. A hill is raised land. A mountain is usually higher with a top. Most mountains are like towers but a few of them are like tables which have flat tops. 31. What are the four main kinds of landforms? ①mountains ②lakes ③plains ④hills ⑤plateaus ⑥deltas A. ①②③⑥ B. ①③④⑤ C. ①②③⑤ D. ①②④⑥ 32. How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 2? A. By asking a few questions about the surface of Earth. B. By comparing the forces of nature that can form the land. C. By listing the number of valleys that were formed by human. D. By giving an example about the slow but huge change in landforms. 33. How are landforms formed mostly? A. By water. B. By wind. C. By ice. D. By soil. 34. Where can you find a delta? A. B. C. D. 35. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text? A. To show us why landforms are interesting. B. To tell us how to find landforms. C. To introduce different kinds of landforms. D. To discuss the relation between landforms and mountains. 【答案】31. B 32. D 33. A 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了地球表面的地形及其形成过程。详细描述了山脉、丘陵、平原和高原四种主要地形，并解释了地形是如何通过自然力量在长时间内形成的。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Mountains, small hills, plateaus and plains are the four main kinds of landforms.”可知，四种主要地形是山脉、丘陵、平原和高原，即①③④⑤。故选B。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“For example, you may see many valleys.

They are created when sand, soil and rock mix together.”可知，三角洲位于河流的入海口，是沙子、土壤和岩石混合在一起形成的。图片D最符合。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，作者通过介绍山脉、丘陵、平原和高原等地形，并解释地形的形成过程，旨在向读者介绍不同种类的地形。故选C。 C ①The Chinese language differs from Western languages in that, instead of an alphabet (字母表), it uses characters (文字) which stand for ideas, objects or deeds. Chinese words are formed by putting together different characters. In many cases, a single character can also make up a word. As one kind of the most ancient characters, Chinese characters have played an important role in the development of Chinese culture. ②Chinese writing began thousands of years ago. According to an ancient story, a man named Cang Jie invented Chinese writing. One winter day while he was hunting, he saw the footprints of animals in the snow and noticed that the appearance of each one was different. Then he had the idea that he could use different shapes to represent different objects. The first Chinese characters were drawings of physical objects. Some characters have been simplified (简化) and others have been made more difficult over time. ③Not all characters were developed from drawings of objects. However, as a whole, the characters have developed from drawings into standard forms. The character for a mountain was at first three mountaintops together. This became one mountaintop and three lines, and over time turned into the character used nowadays. ④Sometimes to express ideas, some characters were made by combining two or more characters together. For example, “休” was made up of the characters for a man and a tree. The character “囚” was formed with a “man” inside a square. Other characters were developed for directions and numbers. It is easy to distinguish (区别) their meanings by looking at them, for example, the characters for “up” and “down”, which are opposites of each other. ⑤Though these kinds of characters indicate (表明) meanings, one of their shortcomings is that they do not show how they should be pronounced. Therefore, a method was developed to have one part of a character stand for the meaning and the other suggest the pronunciation (读音，发音). Many Chinese characters used today were made this way. ⑥In the 1950s, the Chinese government introduced simplified Chinese characters in the hope to make learning to read and write more understandable to the general population, which would increase literacy (读写能力) across the country. And now they have widespread use in China. 36. The earliest Chinese characters were mainly based on ________. A. animal sounds B. simplified shapes C. drawings of objects D. math symbols 37. The writer introduces the Chinese characters by ________ in Paragraph 4. A. giving examples B. providing causes C. expressing opinions D. comparing facts 38. Which Chinese character is formed using the method described in the underlined sentence? A. 亦 B. 竹 C. 明 D. 桐 39. What can we learn from the passage? A. Chinese characters have turned into standard forms, all of which are easier than before. B. Chinese characters we use today have been accepted by large numbers of people. C. Chinese characters existed at the very beginning and remain today like other ancient symbols. D. Chinese words and English words are both formed by putting alphabets and characters together. 40. In which part of a newspaper can we probably find the passage? A. Entertainment. B. Culture. C. Nature. D. Review. 【答案】36. C 37. A 38. D 39. B 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了汉字的起源、发展过程、造字方法及现代使用情况。 【36题详解】 文中第②段提到“The first Chinese characters were drawings of physical objects.”，说明最早的汉字主要基于物体的图画。 【37题详解】 文中第④段通过列举“休”“囚”“上”“下”等例子，介绍了汉字的构成方式，因此作者使用的是举例子的说明方法。 【38题详解】 文中划线句提到“one part of a character stand for the meaning and the other suggest the pronunciation”，即形声字的造字方法，形旁表意、声旁表音。选项D“桐”的形旁“木”表意，声旁“同”表音，符合该方法。 【39题详解】 文中第⑥段提到“now they have widespread use in China”，说明我们现在使用的汉字已被广大民众接受和使用。 【40题详解】 全文围绕汉字的起源、发展与文化意义展开，属于文化类话题，因此最可能出现在报纸的文化版块。 D ①Nowadays, people always make up their minds to give up sugar, but they always end up with failure. Why is sugar so powerful, and how can you beat it? ②Many sugar cravings (渴求) come from a blood sugar imbalance (不平衡). When your body takes in sugar, your blood sugar quickly goes up and your body lets insulin (胰岛素) out to lower it to a safer level. But if your blood sugar level is too low, your body will want more food to raise it. ③Some sugar cravings are from your brain as a result of lifestyle. For example, if you are too stressed, you will be thirsty for sugar to cheer yourself up. Besides, poor sleep can also lead to overeating sugar, because you need energy to free yourself from tiredness. ④Sometimes the cravings come from a habit. Perhaps you watched your parents overeat sugar throughout your childhood. Now you do the same, eating pie, for example, even though you are not hungry at all. Or you may eat sweet food like chocolate or ice cream to reduce sadness. ⑤The key to dealing with sugar cravings is to eat foods that stop too much insulin from being released. Healthy fats and protein (蛋白质) are good choices. Protein helps you feel satisfied, which can cut down hunger. ⑥You may find it is hard to give up sugar totally. But once you start to deal with it, you can beat sugar and have a healthy life. 41. Which of the following best shows how blood sugar changes after someone eats something sweet? A. B. C. D. 42. Why do we develop the bad sugar habit? A. Because high sugar foods are usually more delicious. B. Because we like to eat high sugar foods when we are happy. C. Because we follow the example of our parents to overeat. D. Because it’s common for us to feel hungry from time to time. 43. What does the underlined word “released” mean in Chinese? A. 减少 B. 释放 C. 加快 D. 弱化 44. According to the text, we CANNOT reduce sugar cravings by ________. A. getting enough sleep at night B. having a high-protein breakfast C. actively dealing with stress D. overeating chocolate and ice-cream 45. What’s the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】41. C 42. C 43. B 44. D 45. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了人们对糖产生渴求的原因，包括血糖失衡、生活方式和习惯影响，并提出了通过摄入健康脂肪和蛋白质来应对糖渴求的方法。 【41题详解】 根据第②段“When your body takes in sugar, your blood sugar quickly goes up and your body lets insulin out to lower it to a safer level.”，这说明吃甜食后血糖先快速上升，随后胰岛素将其降低。因此，正确的图表应体现“先升后降”的变化趋势。 【42题详解】 根据第④段“Perhaps you watched your parents overeat sugar throughout your childhood. Now you do the same...”，这表明坏习惯是模仿父母行为形成的。 【43题详解】 根据第⑤段“stop too much insulin from being released”，结合上下文，胰岛素是从身体中“释放”出来的。因此“released”的中文意思是“释放”。 【44题详解】 根据第④段“Or you may eat sweet food like chocolate or ice cream to reduce sadness.”，这说明吃巧克力、冰淇淋是糖瘾的表现，不是减少糖瘾的方法。而第③段提到压力和睡眠会影响糖摄入，第⑤段提到蛋白质有助于减少饥饿感。因此不能通过“overeating chocolate and ice cream”来减少糖渴求。 【45题详解】 文章第①段引出问题“Why is sugar so powerful, and how can you beat it?”，第②③④段分别从血糖、生活方式、习惯三个角度分析原因，第⑤段提出解决方法“The key to dealing with sugar cravings is to eat foods that stop too much insulin from being released.”，第⑥段总结鼓励“you can beat sugar and have a healthy life.”。因此文章结构为：引出问题—分析原因、提出解决方法—总结。 五、词汇： (每小题0.5分，共5分) 46. —Could you please tell me something about Manhattan Island? —With pleasure. At the ________ (south) end of it is Wall Street, a world-famous trade center. 【答案】southern 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你能告诉我一些关于曼哈顿岛的事吗？——非常乐意。它的南端是世界著名的贸易中心华尔街。south“南方”，名词；此处需要填入一个形容词，修饰名词end作定语，south的形容词形式是southern，意为“南方的”，At the southern end of...意为“在……的南端”。 47. The 11th China-Japan-Rok Foreign Minister’s Meeting (中日韩外长会), which took place on March 22, 2025, ________ (draw) wide attention so far. 【答案】has drawn 【解析】 【详解】句意：2025年3月22日举行的第十一届中日韩外长会，迄今为止已引起广泛关注。根据句末时间状语“so far”可知，该句时态为现在完成时。再分析句子结构可知，该句主语为第三人称单数“The 11th China-Japan-Rok Foreign Minister’s Meeting”，因此，助动词选用has，然后将括号内动词原形“draw”改为其过去分词形式drawn。故填has drawn。 48. —The TV series Love Designer is the most romantic drama I have ever seen. —I’m afraid it’s not ________ (everybody) cup of tea. 【答案】everybody’s 【解析】 【详解】句意：——《爱情设计师》是我看过的最浪漫的电视剧。——恐怕不是每个人都喜欢。“not everybody’s cup of tea”是英语中固定表达，意思是“不是每个人都喜欢的东西/不合每个人胃口”。题干给出的“everybody”是不定代词，该语境要表示“每个人的”，应用其所有格形式。故填everybody’s。 49. —I think open ________ (communicate) between teachers and students can create a positive learning environment, allowing students to freely express their ideas. —Yeah, I can’t agree more. 【答案】communication 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我认为教师和学生之间的开放式沟通可以创造一个积极的学习环境，让学生自由表达自己的想法。——是的，我完全同意。分析句子结构可知，横线处应填的词作宾语从句的主语，且其前有形容词“open”修饰，因此需将括号内的动词“communicate”改成其对应的名词形式communication以表达教师和学生之间的开放式沟通。故填communication。 50. If more money is raised in the charity show next month, more schools ________ (set) up to provide basic education for the children in poor areas. 【答案】will be set 【解析】 【详解】句意：如果下个月慈善演出能筹到更多的钱，就会有更多的学校被建立起来，为贫困地区的孩子们提供基础教育。这是if引导的条件状语从句，句中“next month”提示这是表示将来发生的情况，遵循主将从现原则，空处须为一般将来时；主句主语“more schools”与动词短语“set up”之间是被动关系，空处还须为被动语态。因此空处应为一般将来时的被动语态，结构为will be done，set的过去分词为set。 51. Only two weeks ago, China’s first self-developed narrow body jet, ________ (success) completed its maiden commercial flight, from Shanghai to Beijing, with 130 passengers. 【答案】successfully 【解析】 【详解】句意：就在两周前，中国第一架自主研发的窄体喷气式飞机搭乘130名乘客成功完成了从上海到北京的首次商业飞行。success“成功”，名词，此处应用其副词形式successfully“成功地”，修饰动词completed。故填successfully。 52. She felt even ________ (proud) when a magazine agreed to have her novels published. 【答案】prouder 【解析】 【详解】句意：当一家杂志同意出版她的小说时，她感到更加自豪了。空格位于系动词felt后充当表语，应填形容词，描述“她”的感受。空格前有副词“even”修饰，该词常用于修饰比较级，表示“更加怎样”，故填形容词proud的比较级prouder，表示“更加自豪的”。 53. Lucy was asked to take some money and medicine with ________ (she) before the school trip. 【答案】her 【解析】 【详解】句意：在学校旅行前，露西被要求随身带一些钱和药。she“她”，是人称代词主格。固定搭配take sth. with sb.“某人随身带着某物”，介词with后接宾格，故填her。 54. Pay attention to what I am saying because I won’t explain it a ________ (two) time. 【答案】second 【解析】 【详解】句意：注意听我说，因为我不会再解释第二遍了。“two”是基数词，此处表示“又一、再一”，需用序数词形式，“a second time”是固定搭配，意为“再一次”。 55. —It’s dangerous to swim in this river. —Yes, you are right. The government has warned people ______ (not swim) in it. 【答案】not to swim 【解析】 【详解】句意：——在这条河里游泳很危险。——是的，你说得对。政府已经警告人们不要在里面游泳。swim“游泳”是动词，固定搭配warn sb. not to do sth.“警告某人不要做某事”，因此用not to swim。 六、任务型阅读： (每小题1.5分，共15分) Is there anybody you dislike? Well, maybe you don’t really dislike them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness (痛苦). Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive (原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing (指责) him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves. Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and relatives. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long. If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it. Accept it Instead of trying to deny (否认) your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it. Don’t make excuses for it any more You may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look sad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life. Forgive and forget it You probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the others. Forget it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind. ____56____ to deal with bitterness Problem Whenever we think of the person we dislike, we get really angry. If the anger lasts (v. 持续) ____57____, it can turn into bitterness. We feel bitter when we can’t forgive others who hurt us. Results We may think we’re hurting that person if we criticize him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ____58____. Bitterness can ____59____ cause serious health problems and have a bad influence on our relationships with friends and relatives. Ways to solve the problem Accept it Try not to ____60____ your anger. Find out what your anger is about and ____61____ it. Explore its reason and solve it quickly. ____62____ making excuses for it You may feel it’s your right to be angry. You may secretly feel glad when you make others look sad. But ____63____, bitterness hurts you much more. Forgive and forget it You probably can’t completely put the anger ____64____ your mind, but you can decide to forgive the others. Forget it and you’ll feel ____65____ and more peaceful in your mind. 【答案】56. How 57. too long 58. ourselves 59. both 60. deny 61. accept 62. Stop 63. in the end 64. out of 65. better 【解析】 【导语】本文主要探讨了“痛苦”的成因、危害及应对方法，并提出三种处理方式：接纳愤怒、停止找借口、选择宽恕与遗忘。 【56题详解】 根据第四段：“If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it.”文章讲述了一些方法处理“痛苦”，全文围绕“如何处理痛苦”展开，故填How（首字母大写）。本题答案不唯一，合理即可。 【57题详解】 根据原文第一段：“If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness.”说明“愤怒持续太久”就会变成痛苦。空格前是“lasts (v. 持续)”，可填入表示“太长时间”的内容。可填入“too long”。本题答案不唯一，合理即可。 【58题详解】 根据第二段“We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves.”因此根据原文直接填入“ourselves”。 句子结构完全对应表格中的句子： 【59题详解】 原文第三段：“Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems…but also hurt our relationships…”说的是痛苦不仅会导致严重的健康问题，如心脏病，还会伤害我们与朋友和亲戚的关系。空格所在句子表达含义也为同时具有“serious health problems”、“have a bad influence...”这两种影响，可填入both，与后面and搭配,表示两者都。本题答案不唯一，合理即可。 【60题详解】 段落“Accept it”下的描述：“Instead of trying to deny your anger...”意味着不要试图否认愤怒。因此，空格处填入动词deny（否定）原形，与原文含义保持一致。本题答案不唯一，合理即可。 【61题详解】 段落“Accept it”下的描述：“make it clear to yourself and accept it”，原文表述的是找到原因并接受它。该空格前使用了“and”，要求填入的动词与“Find out”（查明）在逻辑上并列且递进。即填入accept表示接受，符合原文语义。本题答案不唯一，合理即可。 【62题详解】 原文小标题“Don’t make excuses for it any more”表示别再找借口了。该空格后接“making excuses for it”，为与原文表述一致，空格处应填写表达停止含义的词汇，故填动词Stop（后接动词ing形式，表示停止做某事）。本题答案不唯一，合理即可。 【63题详解】 根据段落“Don’t make excuses for it any more”下原文“But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. ”直接填入in the end即可。本题答案不唯一，合理即可。 【64题详解】 根据原文最后一段“You probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind.”即你可能无法完全消除心中的愤怒，因此填写out of，使得整体句意与原文一致。 【65题详解】 原文最后一句“You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind.”可知你会享受更好的健康、也会安心，因题干feel后需接形容词，因此填better。答案不唯一合理即可。 七、语篇填空：(每小题1.5分，共15分): The Chinese people have created (创造) lots of amazing art forms, such as local operas, and folk music played by traditional musical instruments. Now, take two of them-the pipa and the ruan as examples. Let’s take a close look at them ____66____ (feel) their lasting charm (持久的魅力). The pipa came from Central Asia, with ____67____ history of over 2,000 years.

Both the pipa and the ruan bridge the past and the present, inviting us to enjoy the ____75____ (beautiful) of Chinese music and the stories behind them. 【答案】66. to feel 67. a 68. is called 69. the hardest 70. useful 71. while 72. to 73. became 74. its 75. beauty 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了琵琶和阮这两种中国传统乐器，讲述了它们的起源、特点与文化魅力，展现了中国传统音乐的独特韵味。 【66题详解】 句意：让我们近距离看看它们，去感受它们持久的魅力。此处用不定式作目的状语，表示近距离观察的目的，用to feel。 【67题详解】 句意：琵琶起源于中亚，有着超过2000年的历史。固定搭配“a history of...”表示“一段……的历史”。 【68题详解】 句意：这种梨形乐器被称为“琵琶”，因为它的两种基本演奏技巧——“批”（向外弹）和“把”（向内弹）。主语instrument与call是被动关系，用一般现在时的被动语态is called。 【69题详解】 句意：由于演奏技巧繁多，它是最难掌握的乐器之一。“one of the+形容词最高级+复数名词”是固定结构，表示“最……之一”，用the hardest。 【70题详解】 句意：它用途广泛，能表现多种不同的情感。be动词后用形容词作表语，use的形容词形式useful表示“有用的”。 【71题详解】 句意：快速的演奏可以表现兴奋，而轻柔的演奏则表达深沉的情感。前后分句是对比关系，用连词while表示“而，然而”。 【72题详解】 句意：它的曲目非常丰富，从充满活力、节奏明快的到缓慢忧伤的都有。“from...to...”是固定搭配，表示“从……到……”。 【73题详解】 句意：它最早出现在汉代，在唐代流行起来。句子时态为一般过去时，become的过去式为became。 【74题详解】 句意：阮能给人一种舒适的感觉，因为它的音色甜美、温暖而柔和。此处修饰名词sound，需用形容词性物主代词，it的形容词性物主代词是its。 【75题详解】 句意：琵琶和阮连接了过去与现在，邀请我们感受中国音乐及其背后故事的美。此处作enjoy的宾语，需用名词形式，beautiful的名词形式是beauty，表示“美”。 八、同义句转换： (每空0.5分，共5分) 76. The two men had success in getting away from the prison at last. （同义句转换） The two men ________ ________ get away from the prison at last. 【答案】 ①. managed ②. to 【解析】 【详解】句意：这两个人最终成功逃离了监狱。原句中“had success in doing something”表示“成功做某事”，是关键，寻找同义表达，且空格后能够接动词“get”原形。“manage to do sth.”翻译为“设法做成某事”，强调克服困难后成功完成某事。原句用的是过去时“had success”，所以转换后也应使用过去时。​故填managed to。​ 77. The patient was so badly hurt that he needed an operation at once. The patient was so badly hurt that he needed to ________ ________ ________ at once. 【答案】 ①. have ②. an ③. operation 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个病人伤得很重，他需要立刻进行手术。原句中“needed an operation”表示“需要一场手术”，同义转换为“need to have an operation”。 78. The team was unable to reach the top of the mountain before dark. The team ________ ________ reach the top of the mountain before dark. 【答案】 ①. failed ②. to 【解析】 【详解】句意：这支队伍无法在天黑前到达山顶。对照句子可知，时态为一般过去时，进行替换的部分是be unable to，意为 “不能” ，它的同义词组转换可以是fail to do sth，fail的过去式是failed。故填failed；to。 79. They didn’t cut costs. But they raised prices and cut production. They raised prices and cut production ________ ________ ________ costs. 【答案】 ①. instead ②. of ③. cutting 【解析】 【详解】句意：他们没有削减成本，但他们提高了价格并减产。分析题干可以转化成“他们提高了价格并减产，而不是削减成本”，“而不是做某事”instead of doing，故填instead；of；cutting。 九、书面表达： (25分) 80. 近年来，中国开展了“体重管理年“活动。作为中学生，我们正处于生长发育的关键阶段，体重管理对我们的健康意义重大。请以“My Plan for a Healthier Me”为题，写一篇英语作文。 内容需包含以下方面： 1. 你目前的健康状况；2. 现状原因；3. 未来计划。 写作要求： 1. 根据提示，内容自拟，要求表达清晰，过渡合理，衔接自然，可适当拓展; 2. 不得使用真实的班级、人名等相关信息; 3. 词数100左右。 My Plan for a Healthier Me ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 例文 My Plan for a Healthier Me Nowadays, China is carrying out the “Weight Management Year” activity.

A landform is a natural mixture of rock and soil found on the earth. Landforms come in different kinds of shapes and sizes. Mountains, small hills, plateaus and plains are the four main kinds of landforms. A landform might be as large as a land or as small as a pool. Landforms are made by some kinds of forces of nature. The force could be wind, water or ice. And it usually takes a very long time to form different landforms. It could be hundreds or thousands of years or even longer. For example, you may see many valleys (山谷). At first, there may have been only one high hill here, but over time, water and wind wore down (侵蚀) two or three sides of the high hill, and then created valleys. Most landforms are formed by water. These processes happen over a long time, sometimes even millions of years. What are the differences among the landforms? Valleys are usually found between hills or with many high mountains around. And there is usually a river at the bottom of the valleys. A delta (三角洲) is another landform created by water. Deltas can be found at the mouths of rivers. They are created when sand, soil and rock mix together. Hills and mountains are other landforms. A hill is raised land. A mountain is usually higher with a top. Most mountains are like towers but a few of them are like tables which have flat tops. 31.

C ①The Chinese language differs from Western languages in that, instead of an alphabet (字母表), it uses characters (文字) which stand for ideas, objects or deeds. Chinese words are formed by putting together different characters. In many cases, a single character can also make up a word. As one kind of the most ancient characters, Chinese characters have played an important role in the development of Chinese culture. ②Chinese writing began thousands of years ago. According to an ancient story, a man named Cang Jie invented Chinese writing. One winter day while he was hunting, he saw the footprints of animals in the snow and noticed that the appearance of each one was different. Then he had the idea that he could use different shapes to represent different objects. The first Chinese characters were drawings of physical objects. Some characters have been simplified (简化) and others have been made more difficult over time. ③Not all characters were developed from drawings of objects. However, as a whole, the characters have developed from drawings into standard forms. The character for a mountain was at first three mountaintops together. This became one mountaintop and three lines, and over time turned into the character used nowadays. ④Sometimes to express ideas, some characters were made by combining two or more characters together. For example, “休” was made up of the characters for a man and a tree. The character “囚” was formed with a “man” inside a square. Other characters were developed for directions and numbers. It is easy to distinguish (区别) their meanings by looking at them, for example, the characters for “up” and “down”, which are opposites of each other. ⑤Though these kinds of characters indicate (表明) meanings, one of their shortcomings is that they do not show how they should be pronounced. Therefore, a method was developed to have one part of a character stand for the meaning and the other suggest the pronunciation (读音，发音). Many Chinese characters used today were made this way. ⑥In the 1950s, the Chinese government introduced simplified Chinese characters in the hope to make learning to read and write more understandable to the general population, which would increase literacy (读写能力) across the country. And now they have widespread use in China. 36. The earliest Chinese characters were mainly based on ________. A. animal sounds B. simplified shapes C. drawings of objects D. math symbols 37. The writer introduces the Chinese characters by ________ in Paragraph 4. A. giving examples B. providing causes C. expressing opinions D. comparing facts 38.

Chinese characters have turned into standard forms, all of which are easier than before. B. Chinese characters we use today have been accepted by large numbers of people. C. Chinese characters existed at the very beginning and remain today like other ancient symbols. D. Chinese words and English words are both formed by putting alphabets and characters together. 40. In which part of a newspaper can we probably find the passage? A. Entertainment. B. Culture. C. Nature. D. Review. D ①Nowadays, people always make up their minds to give up sugar, but they always end up with failure. Why is sugar so powerful, and how can you beat it? ②Many sugar cravings (渴求) come from a blood sugar imbalance (不平衡). When your body takes in sugar, your blood sugar quickly goes up and your body lets insulin (胰岛素) out to lower it to a safer level. But if your blood sugar level is too low, your body will want more food to raise it. ③Some sugar cravings are from your brain as a result of lifestyle. For example, if you are too stressed, you will be thirsty for sugar to cheer yourself up. Besides, poor sleep can also lead to overeating sugar, because you need energy to free yourself from tiredness. ④Sometimes the cravings come from a habit. Perhaps you watched your parents overeat sugar throughout your childhood. Now you do the same, eating pie, for example, even though you are not hungry at all. Or you may eat sweet food like chocolate or ice cream to reduce sadness. ⑤The key to dealing with sugar cravings is to eat foods that stop too much insulin from being released. Healthy fats and protein (蛋白质) are good choices. Protein helps you feel satisfied, which can cut down hunger. ⑥You may find it is hard to give up sugar totally. But once you start to deal with it, you can beat sugar and have a healthy life. 41. Which of the following best shows how blood sugar changes after someone eats something sweet? A. B. C. D. 42. Why do we develop the bad sugar habit? A. Because high sugar foods are usually more delicious. B. Because we like to eat high sugar foods when we are happy. C. Because we follow the example of our parents to overeat. D. Because it’s common for us to feel hungry from time to time. 43. What does the underlined word “released” mean in Chinese? A. 减少 B. 释放 C. 加快 D. 弱化 44. According to the text, we CANNOT reduce sugar cravings by ________. A. getting enough sleep at night B. having a high-protein breakfast C. actively dealing with stress D. overeating chocolate and ice-cream 45. What’s the structure of the passage? A. B. C.

But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness (痛苦). Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive (原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing (指责) him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves. Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and relatives. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long. If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it. Accept it Instead of trying to deny (否认) your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it. Don’t make excuses for it any more You may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look sad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life. Forgive and forget it You probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the others. Forget it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind. ____56____ to deal with bitterness Problem Whenever we think of the person we dislike, we get really angry.
