It started during the Qin Dynasty（221 BC—207 BC）, when farmers and soldiers used it for fun and comfort. The opera shows the daily lives, hard work, and feelings of ancient Chinese people. Its songs and dances also teach about Chinese language, culture and history. However, in the 1990s, pop and Western music became very popular, and fewer people cared about Qinqiang Opera. Young people especially liked the new music more. Many actors had to leave during this time. Some opera groups closed, and people nearly forgot the old performance skills. To make money, actors did other jobs like selling clothes, starting small businesses or acting in movies. But a few never gave up— they kept practicing. In 2006, things changed when the government named Qinqiang Opera“an important cultural treasure”. This helped people focus on it again. Schools started teaching about it, and theaters mixed traditional opera with modern styles to attract young people. Ten years ago, most audiences (观众) were the elderly, but now many young people watch and love Qinqiang Opera. More young actors are joining too, and schools train them to keep the art alive. The return of Qinqiang Opera not only brings young people back to Chinese culture, but also shows old arts can stay meaningful even in today’s fast— changing world. 5. When did Qinqiang Opera start? A. In the 1990s. B. After 2006. C. In the Qin Dynasty. D. About ten years ago. 6. What can we infer about Qinqiang Opera actors in the 1990s? A. The government stopped them. B. They made less money than before. C. They wanted to sing pop songs. D. They thought the opera was too old. 7. Which word can take the place of “attract” in Paragraph 3? A. Hurt. B. Decide. C. Interest. D. Check. 8. What is the best title of the text? A. The History and Return of Qinqiang Opera B. The Importance of Chinese Culture Today C. Qinqiang Opera and Modern Music D. Why Opera Groups Closed in the 1990s 【答案】5. C 6. B 7. C 8. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述秦腔起源、一度没落，后获国家文化保护重焕生机，彰显传统戏曲在当代依旧具备价值与活力。 【5题详解】 根据第一段第二句“It started during the Qin Dynasty (221 BC—207 BC)”可知，秦腔起源于秦朝。对应选项C。 【6题详解】 根据第二段中提到“To make money, actors did other jobs like selling clothes...”，可以推断出当时演秦腔的收入不足以维持生计，即收入比以前减少了。对应选项B。 【7题详解】 根据第三段语境“theaters mixed traditional opera with modern styles to attract young people”，结合下文提到现在许多年轻人观看并喜爱秦腔，可知目的是为了“吸引”年轻人。选项C “Interest” 作动词时有“引起……兴趣/吸引”之意，符合语境。对应选项C。 【8题详解】 文章第一段介绍了秦腔的历史起源，第二段讲述了其在20世纪90年代的衰落，第三段和第四段描述了其在2006年后的复兴及意义。选项A“秦腔的历史与回归”最能概括全文内容。对应选项A。 C Germs (细菌) are everywhere. You can’t see them, but they are on your desk, on your computer, and even in the air! Like people, germs move around the world. They fly with us on planes. When food, clothes, and other things travel around the world, germs travel, too. Some germs are safe, but some are dangerous. Germs cause illnesses like colds and flu. Warmer Weather Brings Germs The world’s weather is changing. Cooler countries are getting warmer, so insects from hot countries can move there. Some of these insects, like mosquitoes (蚊子), carry dangerous germs. These germs cause headaches, fever, and can even kill people. Under Your Skin(皮肤) Your skin protects you from germs. It stops some germs, but not all. They can enter your body when you eat, or when you have a cut. Germs are on your hands, too. They enter your body when you touch your eyes, nose, or mouth. Fighting Germs Your immune system (免疫系统) protects you, too. When germs get inside your body, your immune system finds and kills them. Special cells (细胞 )move around your body and fight germs. They help you stay healthy. Other cells make antibodies (抗体). Antibodies help your body find and stop germs. What can you do to fight germs? You should wash your hands with soap and water. Soap kills many germs, and water washes them away. 9. According to the text, insects ________. A. protect germs B. love germs C. kill germs D. carry germs 10. The underlined word “there” refers to ________. A. cooler countries B. hot countries C. everywhere D. the world 11. Which of the following is RIGHT according to the text? A.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了细菌的传播途径、对人体的影响以及人体自身和外部的防护方法。 【9题详解】 第3段语句“Some of these insects, like mosquitoes, carry dangerous germs.”可知，昆虫会携带细菌。 【10题详解】 第3段语句“Cooler countries are getting warmer, so insects from hot countries can move there.”提到更凉爽的国家正在变暖，因此来自炎热国家的昆虫可以迁移到那里，“there”指代前文提到的“cooler countries”。 【11题详解】 第4段语句“They can enter your body when you eat, or when you have a cut.”明确提到一些细菌可以进入你的身体。 【12题详解】 第5段语句“Antibodies help your body find and stop germs.”可知，抗体的作用是帮助身体识别并阻止细菌。 D ①Eyes are important to us.

It covers over nine million square kilometers across North Africa. ____17____ During the day, temperatures rise above 40°C, while nights can be very cold. It is one of the toughest environments on Earth. The Sahara is as big as Canada but has very few people. Less than two and a half million people live there, most of them nomads. Nomads are people who have no permanent homes. They move from place to place, carrying everything they need to live. The nomads of the Sahara are called Bedouin, which means desert people. They depend on goats, sheep, and camels for food and transport. Water is the most important for them. They need water to live, so they must carry enough water or know where to find it. ____18____ A desert is not defined (定义) by sand but by the lack of rain. ____19____ Surprisingly, only 25% of the Sahara is covered in sand.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文向我们介绍了格陵兰岛和冰岛这两个岛的情况。 【21题详解】 句意：格陵兰岛附近有另外一个岛。 the other两者中的另一个；other 其他的，形容词；another不定数目中的另一个；others其他的人或物。根据句意可知，这里说的是另外一个岛，为不确定数目中的另一个岛。故选C。 【22题详解】 句意：它的名字叫冰岛。 It它；Its它的；It’s它是；Their他们的。根据“name”可知，此处表示“它的名字”，故应用形容词性物主代词its，位于句首，开头字母大写。故选B。 【23题详解】 句意：你认为冰岛是有很多冰的白色岛屿吗？ on在……上面；in在……里面；of……的；with带有……的。根据句意及“ice”可知，此处应用with表示伴随情况状语，意为“有冰的”。故选D。 【24题详解】 如果你认为是，那么你就错了。 right对的；wrong 错误的；good好的；clever聪明的。根据“Greenland is not green.”及“Iceland has ice, but not so much ice”可知，格陵兰岛并不是绿色的，冰岛上也不是有很多的冰，所以这种想法是错误的。故选B。 【25题详解】 句意：因为格陵兰岛不是绿色的。 because因为；why为什么；what什么；how怎样。根据“Not many people live on the big island of Greenland.”及“The ice covering Greenland...”可知，格陵兰岛上少有人居住的原因是它不是绿色的而被白色冰层覆盖。故此处为原因状语从句，应用because引导。故选A。 【26题详解】 句意：格陵兰岛大部分被冰覆盖。 with用；in在……里面；of……的；to到。be covered with“被……覆盖”。故选A。 【27题详解】 句意：覆盖格陵兰岛的冰比世界上最高的大楼都要更高。 high高的，形容词原级；higher更高的，形容词比较级；the highest最高的，形容词最高级；more higher错误表达。根据“than”可知，此处应为比较级表达“更高”。故选B。 【28题详解】 句意：那么冰岛呢？ in在……里面；on在……上面；about关于；over超过。what about...? 固定句型，意为“……怎么样？……呢？”，根据文意可知，上文介绍了格陵兰岛，接下来引出冰岛，故表达“那么冰岛呢？”。故选C。 【29题详解】 句意：冰岛上有冰，但是并不像格陵兰岛上那么多。 like喜欢；than比；that那个；as 像……一样。分析句子，这里考查的是同级比较，as…as...“和……一样”，否定句为not so/as...as...“不如……”。故应选D。 【30题详解】 句意：气候并不像格陵兰岛上那么冷。 hot热的；cool凉爽的；cold冷的；warm温暖的。根据“Iceland has a lot of hot springs(泉). They give out hot water and steam”可知冰岛上有很多温泉，所以气候不像那里那么冷。故选C。 III. 语篇填空（共10分，每小题1分） Ella just had ____31____ unforgettable trip. She saw the Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River.

Fighting Germs Your immune system (免疫系统) protects you, too. When germs get inside your body, your immune system finds and kills them. Special cells (细胞 )move around your body and fight germs.
