The movie Chicken Run first came out in 2000. It was one of the most popular animated films at that time. Now there is another episode, Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget. Chicken Run is about a chicken named Ginger. She and her friends are trying to run away from an evil farm with the help from brave cock Rocky. In Dawn of the Nugget, the chickens are living happily on an island. When Ginger and Rocky’s daughter, Molly, leaves the island for the outside world, the group tries to bring her home. It took three years to finish making the second movie. “There are shots that took six months to film,” the movie’s director, Sam Fell, told reporters. Fell said, “Chickens are usually not brave. They’re such small animals. People just think they’re weak.” He said that giving them a brave heart and putting them in a dangerous world makes their story popular. In fact, when Ginger and Rocky come to help Molly, she learns a lesson that can also be helpful to people. “There are more things that your parents would do for you than you might think.” Fell said. 21. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Chicken Run is the most popular animated film in the world. B. Chicken Run is produced by Wallace and Gromit. C. Wallace & Gromit once won Oscar. D. Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget came out in 2000. 22. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. What the movies are about. B. How they made the movies. C. Where they made the movies. D. Why the movies are popular. 23. What can we infer from the third paragraph? A. Fell is an actor in the movie. B. The second movie is very short. C. The chickens look like children. D. It took lots of time to make the second movie. 24. What do people usually think of chickens according to Fell? A. Brave and smart. B. Small and weak. C. Strong and healthy. D. Dangerous and brave. (B) ①Pets have their own body language. Their body language is different and it depends on what kind of animal you have chosen as your pet. Understanding your pet’s body language will help you communicate with it better. ②When dogs feel stressed out or scared, their eyes will look bigger than usual. If your dog doesn’t feel well, its eyes will look like a half moon. If it doesn’t look directly at you, but looks out of the corner of its eyes, it might be angry and be about to hurt others. ③When your cat looks at you and blinks, it’s likely to show its love to you. You can do this back to your cat to show your love. For cats, closing their eyes is a way to show trust. If your cat feels scared, its tail may look like the end of a toilet brush. ④Birds can show their feelings through their eyes, feathers and voices. Look at your bird’s eyes. If it makes its eyes big and small from time to time, this can be a sign that shows it’s excited or greatly interested, scared or angry. Birds will ruffle their feathers when they clean themselves. However, if their feathers remain ruffled, this may mean they don’t feel well. Then you can take them to an animal hospital for a check-up. ⑤Remember to be patient and watch carefully. The more time you spend with your pet, the better you will understand its body language. 25. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text? A. Blinking is a way for a cat to show its love to you. B. A bird can show its feelings through its tail. C. Different pets have different body language. D. A dog won’t open its eyes wide when it doesn’t feel well. 26. What can’t we know after reading the text? A. How cats show their trust. B. How cats show their love. C. How birds show their anger. D. How birds show their sadness. 27. Which of the following shows the structure of the text? (① = paragraph 1…) A. B. C. D. 28. How does the writer support the main idea of the text? A. By asking questions. B. By giving examples. C. By listing numbers. D. By explaining reasons. 29. What’s the main idea of the text? A. How to choose the right pet. B. How to play with your pet. C. How to understand pets’ body language. D. How to keep dogs, cats and birds. (C) Join Us! There are about 8,000 million people living on our planet. Some of them don’t have enough food. So people somewhere are suffering from hunger. Last year, it affected over 820 million people. That’s sad.

I need what I have at home, so I can’t give anything to you. (D) Have you ever wondered why we say shangcesuo (上厕所) instead of xiacesuo, and yijianxiangzuo (意见相左) instead of yijianxiangyou? Many Chinese words have directions in them, and there is lots of history and culture hidden behind. Up or down We use shangcesuo to mean “go to the bathroom” and xiachufang to mean “go to the kitchen”. Why? In ancient times, houses were laid out in a certain way. The gate of the house would face south, with the bathroom in the northeastern part of the house and the kitchen in the southeastern part. In Chinese, we talk about the north as shang and the south as xia. So people would say they’re going up to the bathroom and down to the kitchen. Left or right Most people today are right-handed. They feel uncomfortable if they try to use their left hands to write or use chopsticks. This was true in old times as well. So in ancient China, “left” was related to being different, such as in yijianxiangzuo. If people don’t accept common beliefs, we still say they are following a different path. “Left” and “right” also have something to do with people’s social position. For a long time in ancient China, “right” stood for a higher position than “left”. For example, the Chinese character “佑”, developed from “右”, means a person in a higher position would protect someone in a lower position. 34. Why does the writer use shangcesuo and yijianxiangzuo in the first paragraph? A. To tell a story. B. To introduce the topic. C. To give an example. D. To solve a mystery. 35. What does the example of “佑” show? A. Left and right refer to directions. B. Houses were laid out in a certain way in ancient China. C. “Left” was related to being different. D. “Right” stood for a higher position in ancient China. 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读下面短文及短文后的A~F(6个）选项，选出可以填入各题空白处的最佳选项。 Volunteer Travel Have you heard of any voluntary activities like planting trees, cleaning up the community and looking after the old people? ____36____ It is a new and popular voluntary activity among young people. ____37____ This idea sounds perfect for travellers who want to make a difference to their travel destinations. The main purpose of volunteer travel is to take part in activities to help local communities and people. ____38____Volunteer travel allows them to work with local communities and get a deeper understanding of different ways of life. They live like a local, learn languages, and understand traditions beyond places of interest. ____39____ Volunteers can exchange their work and service for food. Some projects even provide volunteers with free places to live. However, volunteer travel may also cause problems for those communities. Some volunteers stay for such a short time that they can’t truly solve problems, leaving local people to ask, “Was this just for show or self-satisfying?” ____40____ Besides, their leaving may make the students lonelier than before. This will hurt students’ feelings. Also, some volunteers may not have the right skills and even make things worse. A. Another advantage of volunteer travel is that it can cut down travel cost. B. Volunteer travel combines travel with meaningful voluntary work. C. For example, when short-term volunteer teachers leave, students’ learning may stop. D. But do you know what volunteer travel is? E.
