8. ________ in the rules that students must wear uniforms every day.
A. What is required B. What requires C. It is required D. It requires
【答案】C

My wife and I moved into our home nine years ago. We have a yard a “rock garden”. There the rocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt as if someone were in a hurry to finish. Very often when we have more flowers, Denise or I would plant them between the rocks, just to bring some color to the area.
Last summer I found, in the rock garden, a tiny little plant that I could not immediately recognize. I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise said she didn’t either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could find out what it was.
Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the strange plant, it appeared to be a sunflower. It looked thin and tall with only one head on it. I decided to baby it along and weed (除草) around it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The sunflower had not started where I saw it begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun.
If a tiny little sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the ability to do the same thing. If we believe in ourselves like that little sunflower, we can reach where we aim to go and get what we need for growth.
We need to believe in ourselves knowing we have the ability to achieve our goals. Like the sunflower, it knew it had the ability to get over the rocks because it had faith in itself that it would succeed. Stand tall like the sunflower and be proud of who and what we are, then other things will begin to support us. We will find a way to go under or around any “rocks” in order to realize our goals.
41. The family planted flowers in the yard ________.
A. to attract visitors B. to remove the rocks
C. to please their neighbors D. to make the area colorful
42. The author let the tiny plant continue growing ________ .
A. to see how long it could live B. to see how big it could grow
C. to find out what it actually was D. to know if his wife had planted it
43. The author think the sunflower was unusual because ________.
A. it was very thin and tall B. it had only one head on it
C. it grew on top of a big rock D. it began to grow under a rock
44. We can conclude from the passage that ________.
A. rocks cannot prevent us from success
B. we can get over difficulties if we trust ourselves
C. we should take good care of the rock gardens
D. sunflowers are able to grow everywhere
45. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. Stand Tall Like the Sunflower B. The Sunflower and My Family
C. Being Proud of the Sunflower D. The Secret of the Sunflower
【答案】41. D 42. C 43. D 44. B 45. A
【解析】

【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Very often when we have more flowers, Denise or I would plant them between the rocks, just to bring some color to the area (很多时候,当我们有更多的花,丹尼斯或我会把它们种在岩石之间,只是为了给这个地区带来一些颜色。)”可知,这家人在院子里面种花是为了给院子增添颜色,使院子更漂亮。因此,这家人在院子里种花是D项“to make the area colorful(使该区域多姿多彩)”符合题意,故选D项。

细节理解题。根据第二段“We decided to let it continue growing until we could find out what it was. (我们决定让它继续生长,直到我们发现它是什么)”可知,作者在岩石花园里发现了一株认不出来的小植物,他打算让它继续生长,为了看看它是什么植物。因此,作者让这株小植物继续生长是C项“to find out what it actually was(找出它到底是什么)”符合题意,故选C项。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The sunflower had not started where I saw it begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun. (向日葵并没有从我看到的地方开始生长。它实际上是在一块大岩石下开始生长的,在岩石下面和周围生长,直到到达太阳)”可知,向日葵实际上是在一块大岩石下开始生长的,其生命力很顽强,这是不寻常的。因此,作者认为向日葵是不寻常的,因为是D项“it began to grow under a rock (它开始在岩石下生长)”符合题意,故选D项。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“If a tiny little sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the ability to do the same thing. If we believe in ourselves like that little sunflower, we can reach where we aim to go and get what we need for growth. (如果一颗小小的向日葵不让一块大石头阻挡它的发展,我们也有能力做同样的事情。如果我们像向日葵一样相信自己,我们就能达到我们的目标,获得我们成长所需的东西)”可知,作者认为,只要我们像向日葵那样,具备不畏艰难,顽强生长的精神,就一定能够克服困难,获得成功。因此,从这篇文章中我们可以得出结论是B项“we can get over difficulties if we trust ourselves(如果我们相信自己,我们就能克服困难)”符合题意,故选B项。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据最后一段“Like the sunflower, it knew it had the ability to get over the rocks because it had faith in itself that it would succeed. Stand tall like the sunflower and be proud of who and what we are, then other things will begin to support us.(就像向日葵一样,它知道自己有能力越过岩石,因为它相信自己会成功。像向日葵一样昂首挺胸,为我们是谁和我们是什么感到骄傲,然后其他的东西就会开始支持我们)”可知,作者将向日葵拟人化,形象地阐述了只要我们像向日葵那样,具备不畏艰难,顽强生长的精神,就一定能够克服困难,获得成功。因此,这篇文章的最佳标题是A项“Stand Tall Like the Sunflower(像向日葵一样高高站立)”符合题意,故选A项。
C
We talk a lot about air pollution. Here in Hong Kong we always complain about light pollution as well. Then, there is noise pollution. It’s the same in many cities around the world. In Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, people have been complaining about/the noise made by drivers who continually sound their car horns (喇). That is until recently, when something was finally done about it.
‘The Chief District Officer of Kathmandu had received many. complaints about horn pollution. He said that everyone felt the use of the car horn in recent years had become excessive. Researchers in Kathmandu found that for about 80 percent of the time, it really was not necessary for drivers to use their car horns. Sounding the horn to make a noise had become more of a habit. It was no longer being used as it was supposed to be used: to warn people of danger.
At the beginning of the Nepali New Year in 2017, the local government passed a law to ban the use of car horns unless used correctly.
Within six months, 11,000 fines (罚款) had been collected by the local traffic police. The fine was about HK S360. A taxi driver in Kathmandu can make about HK S1,000 per day, so he could lose about one-third of his money it he broke the law.
As usual, there were many complaints from drivers. They said that cows and dogs were free to walk on the roads. They always caused danger. Sounding a car horn was the only way to get them to move out of the way. And although there were quite a few traffic lights in the streets of Kathmandu, very few of them worked. This meant there was often a traffic mess.
The ban on using a car horn went ahead, and within a few weeks the streets of Nepal’s capital were quieter-even though they were still just as busy. Because of the ban, drivers are a little more careful when they drive. Fewer accidents have been reported. The local government says the horn ban will now be copied in other areas of Nepal.

A. Both have been troubled by factory pollution.
B. Both have succeeded in fighting air pollution.
C. Both have been faced with the problem of noise pollution.
D. Both have received many complaints about horn pollution.
47. What do the Researchers in Kathmandu found?
A. Car drivers usually use car horns unnecessarily. B. The cars are becoming more and more.
C. Care drivers use car horns as a warning. D. Everyone complain about the horn pollution.
48. When was the law on the use of car horns passed?
A. In 2016. B. In 2017. C. In 2018. D. In 2019.
49. What will you find if you go to Kathmandu?
A. No traffic lights in the streets can work. B. The traffic on the roads is not very smooth.
C. Animals are not allowed to walk on the streets. D. Drivers are required to drive on one-way streets.
50. What can we guess about Kathmandu’s horn ban?

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了尼泊尔首都加德满都实施汽车喇叭禁令,并解释这个事件的背景、过程、影响以及未来的计划。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Here in Hong Kong we always complain about light pollution as well. Then, there is noise pollution. It’s the same in many cities around the world. In Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, people have been complaining about/the noise made by drivers who continually sound their car horns (喇).(在香港,我们也经常抱怨光污染。然后是噪音污染。世界上许多城市都是如此。在尼泊尔首都加德满都,人们一直在抱怨司机不停地按喇叭发出的噪音。)”可知,在香港,人们总是抱怨光污染,同时也提到了噪音污染,而在尼泊尔的首都加德满都,人们一直在抱怨司机不断按喇叭造成的噪音,这说明香港和加德满都都面临着噪音污染的问题。故选C。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Researchers in Kathmandu found that for about 80 percent of the time, it really was not necessary for drivers to use their car horns. Sounding the horn to make a noise had become more of a habit. It was no longer being used as it was supposed to be used: to warn people of danger.(加德满都的研究人员发现,在大约80%的时间里,司机真的没有必要按汽车喇叭。按喇叭制造噪音已经成为一种习惯。它不再被用来警告人们有危险。)”可知,加德满都的研究人员发现,大约80%的时间里,司机使用汽车喇叭其实是不必要的。因此,研究人员发现的是汽车司机通常会不必要地使用汽车喇叭。故选A。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“At the beginning of the Nepali New Year in 2017, the local government passed a law to ban the use of car horns unless used correctly.(2017年尼泊尔新年伊始,当地政府通过了一项法律,禁止不正确使用汽车喇叭。)”可知,关于汽车喇叭使用的法律是在2017年尼泊尔新年伊始通过的。故选B。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“And although there were quite a few traffic lights in the streets of Kathmandu, very few of them worked. This meant there was often a traffic mess.(尽管加德满都的街道上有不少红绿灯,但很少能正常工作。这意味着经常出现交通混乱。)”可知,尽管加德满都的街道上有很多交通灯,但是它们中很少有工作的。这意味着交通经常很混乱。这表明如果你去加德满都,你会发现道路上的交通并不顺畅。故选B。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The ban on using a car horn went ahead, and within a few weeks the streets of Nepal’s capital were quieter-even though they were still just as busy. Because of the ban, drivers are a little more careful when they drive. Fewer accidents have been reported.(禁止使用汽车喇叭的禁令继续实施,几周后,尼泊尔首都的街道安静了下来——尽管仍然很繁忙。因为有了这项禁令,司机开车的时候更加小心了。报道的事故也减少了。)”可知,由于禁止使用汽车喇叭,加德满都的街道上尽管仍然繁忙,但已经变得更为安静。此外,由于禁令的实施,司机们在驾驶时变得更加小心,事故报告也有所减少。这些描述都暗示了汽车喇叭禁令是有效的。故选A。

【答案】Dear Chris,
I was really happy to get your email. I know you want to use AI to finish your Chinese homework. It’s fine to use it, but don’t overdo it.
AI can help you a lot. You can ask it to find useful information. For example, if you need to write a composition, you can ask AI for some ideas on how to organize it. You can also get some good sentences from it. This will make it easier for you to do your homework.
But you must remember that not all the information AI gives is right. Some of it may be wrong. So, you need to check the facts by yourself. This is also a good way to learn.
I hope my advice can help you. Keep in mind that the point of homework is to make you better at Chinese. Use AI properly.
Yours,
Li Jin

My wife and I moved into our home nine years ago. We have a yard a “rock garden”. There the rocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt as if someone were in a hurry to finish. Very often when we have more flowers, Denise or I would plant them between the rocks, just to bring some color to the area.
Last summer I found, in the rock garden, a tiny little plant that I could not immediately recognize. I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise said she didn’t either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could find out what it was.
Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the strange plant, it appeared to be a sunflower. It looked thin and tall with only one head on it. I decided to baby it along and weed (除草) around it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The sunflower had not started where I saw it begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun.
If a tiny little sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the ability to do the same thing. If we believe in ourselves like that little sunflower, we can reach where we aim to go and get what we need for growth.
We need to believe in ourselves knowing we have the ability to achieve our goals. Like the sunflower, it knew it had the ability to get over the rocks because it had faith in itself that it would succeed. Stand tall like the sunflower and be proud of who and what we are, then other things will begin to support us. We will find a way to go under or around any “rocks” in order to realize our goals.
41. The family planted flowers in the yard ________.
A. to attract visitors B. to remove the rocks
C. to please their neighbors D. to make the area colorful
42. The author let the tiny plant continue growing ________ .

A. it was very thin and tall B. it had only one head on it
C. it grew on top of a big rock D. it began to grow under a rock
44. We can conclude from the passage that ________.
A. rocks cannot prevent us from success
B. we can get over difficulties if we trust ourselves
C. we should take good care of the rock gardens
D. sunflowers are able to grow everywhere

We talk a lot about air pollution. Here in Hong Kong we always complain about light pollution as well. Then, there is noise pollution. It’s the same in many cities around the world.
