The most amazing part is that George learned to read just two years before he wrote the book. When George was 8, his father sent him to work. Life was hard for the poor American family.

His teacher helped him, and in two years he wrote his book. From George Dawson’s life story, we can see it is never too old to learn. 二、单项选择。（本题共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 21. They were ________ that they couldn’t understand ________ difficult sentence. A. so little children; such a B. such little children; such a C. so little children; so a D. such little children; so a 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：他们是如此小的孩子，以至于他们不能理解如此难的一个句子。 such修饰名词，so修饰形容词或副词。第一空中心词是children，为复数名词，应用such修饰，构成such little children；第二空中心词是sentence，为单数可数名词，应用such a修饰，构成such a difficult sentence。 22. ________ famous attractions like the Lijiang River are named “Tourism Model Base” this year, and the number of those ________ growing larger. A. A number of; is B. A number of; are C. A great deal of; is D. A great deal of; are 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：今年许多像漓江这样的著名景点被评为“旅游示范基地”，并且其数量正在大幅增长。。 A number of许多；A great deal of大量；is是（be动词单数形式）；are是（be动词复数形式）。根据第一空后的famous attractions为可数名词复数，此处用A number of，表示“许多著名景点”；第二空的主语为the number of those，谓语动词用单数is，表示“著名景点的数量”。 23. —Wang Xingxing, founder of Unitree Robotics, is always creative and full of ________. —Yes. He’s always coming up with new ideas which have led to great changes in society. A. instruction B. invitation C. invention D. introduction 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】——宇树科技创始人王兴兴向来极具创造力，富有创新构想。——没错，他总能想出新点子，为社会带来了巨大变革。 instruction指示；invitation邀请；invention发明；introduction介绍。根据“creative”和“coming up with new ideas”可知，王兴兴善于提出新想法，具有发明创造的才能，应选invention。 24.

To everybody’s surprise, the fashionable young lady ________ to be a thief. A. found out B. took out C. put out D. turned out 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：令大家吃惊的是，那位时髦的年轻女士原来是个小偷。 考查动词短语。found out找到；took out取出； put out扑灭； turned out结果是，原来是。根据“the fashionable young lady... to be a thief”可知，大家出乎意料的应是想不到那个女士原来是小偷，故选D。 26. — When shall we go to watch the basketball match in the sports centre? — ________ the work ________ tomorrow. A. Until; will be finished B. Until; is finished C. Not until; will finish D. Not until; is finished 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我们什么时候去体育中心看篮球比赛？——直到明天工作完成才去。 Not until表示“直到……才……”，Until表示“直到……为止”，根据语境可知工作完成后才去，应用Not until；时间状语从句中用一般现在时表将来，且work与finish之间是被动关系，需用被动语态is finished。 27.

A. why did Mary download DeepSeek B. when will Mary download DeepSeek C. what Mary is downloading DeepSeek for D. whether Mary will be able to download DeepSeek 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你能告诉我玛丽下载DeepSeek是为了什么吗？——为了转向使用DeepSeek来提高她的发音。 宾语从句需使用陈述语序，A、B 选项为疑问语序，故排除。根据答语“To turn to...”表示目的，可知问句询问原因。 30. —Which do you prefer at weekends, studying at school or studying at home? — __________ I think it isn’t about where you study—it’s about how you study.

It may sound like an unusual piece of advice, but it is true--the first impression someone has of you when meeting you for the first time will probably influence how that person treats you or reacts to you in the future. What is even more interesting is that the brain takes in all the information to create that first impression in about three seconds. When you meet someone for the first time, by the time you have stated your name or shaken hands, the other person has already formed an opinion about the kind of person you are. So how do you make a good first impression? All things grown-ups tell you—such as being polite, and being well—dressed—are very important. However, the most important tool for making a good first impression is your face. Smiling and looking like you are happy will almost always leave a positive (积极的)impression on people, especially those who do not know you. Most people, generally speaking, are ready to smile back when they are smiled at. Furthermore, smiling and being in a positive mood helps you to know and get a better understanding of new things. This means that you can possibly be friendlier to people you do not know and be more creative and able to solve problems more quickly. So if you ever need a reason to be happy, think about the wonderful people you might meet—and impress—with a cheerful smile. 49. Which paragraph shows how soon others form opinions on you? A. Paragraph 1. B. Paragraph 2. C. Paragraph 3. D. Paragraph 4. 50. What is the most important if you want to leave a good first impression? A. Shaking hands. B. Stating your name. C. Dressing nicely. D. Wearing a smile. 51. What can be learned from the last paragraph? A. Friendliness helps solve problems. B. Being positive helps you find a way out. C. There are many reasons to be happy. D. Thinking of great people cheers you up. 52. What would be the best title for the text? A. The First Impression Does Matter B. Impressions Decide Who You Are C. Manners Leave Deep Impressions D. Smiling Makes the First Impression 【答案】49. B 50. D 51. B 52. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文，介绍第一印象的重要性及快速形成的特点，强调微笑对打造好第一印象的作用。 【49题详解】 根据第二段内容“What is even more interesting is that the brain takes in all the information to create that first impression in about three seconds...the other person has already formed an opinion about the kind of person you are.“可知，第二段明确提到了大脑在三秒钟内就会形成第一印象，即别人很快对你形成看法。 【50题详解】 根据第三段内容“However, the most important tool for making a good first impression is your face. Smiling and looking like you are happy will almost always leave a positive impression on people”可知，留下好印象最重要的工具是面部表情，即微笑。 【51题详解】 根据最后一段内容“smiling and being in a positive mood helps you to...be more creative and able to solve problems more quickly.”可知，保持积极的心态有助于更快地解决问题。选项 B"Being positive helps you find a way out"（积极有助于你找到出路/解决问题）与此意相符。 【52题详解】 通读全文可知，文章第一段引出“第一印象”的话题，第二段说明其形成之快，第三、四段说明如何通过微笑留下好的第一印象及其好处。全文围绕“第一印象很重要以及如何留下好印象”展开。选项A“The First Impression Does Matter”最能概括文章中心思想。 C Globalization means that people, ideas, technology, money, services and many other things are moving between countries and changing the way people think and act. Not everyone thinks the same way about globalization. Some people think it is bad, and some people think it is good. Some believe that globalization helps rich people get richer and makes poor people poorer. These people say that globalization helps big companies like Coca-Cola and McDonald’s destroy（破坏）local businesses. However, the people who think globalization is a good thing argue that globalization helps poorer people to become richer. They also think that it doesn’t destroy local cultures. These people also believe globalization helps prevent wars. This is because countries with economic（经济的）connections will try hard to keep good relationships so that their economies aren’t destroyed. Whether you think globalization is good or bad, it affects the world in two areas: jobs and cultures. Globalization has had a very strong influence on jobs all over the world. For some workers, such as engineers, lawyers and bankers, globalization has been a good development. These workers are able to successfully compete（竞争）globally and have seen an increase in their pay. But for those who work in factories or in the service industry（at hotels, shops and restaurants）, it has not been good. Workers from poorer countries are trying to get these types of jobs. They will do the same job for less money. This decreases the pay for that job, so people get paid less to do it. Cultures have also been affected by globalization. Foods such as Japanese noodles, Indian curry and French cheeses have spread around the world. We can also see an increase in the use of Chinese characters（汉字）in tattoos（文身）. Some people get these tattoos but they don’t really know what the characters mean. Globalization also affects the film industry. Most people have seen American movies. But because of globalization, Korean, Indian and Japanese movies have become more worldwide. No one knows the future of globalization. Most experts agree that it will continue to grow and have an increasingly greater influence on people’s lives in the future. 53. Some people think globalization is good because it may _______. A. change local cultures B. help local businesses develop C. make rich people become richer D. help stop wars among countries 54. According to Paragraph 4, we know _______. A. engineers will get a lower pay B. people can get favourite jobs more easily C. globalization greatly affects people’s jobs D. workers from rich countries get paid less 55. Globalization helps people in the world _______. A. know Chinese characters very well B. go to different countries for movies C. own the same culture in the end D. enjoy foods from different countries 56. What can we infer（推断）from the passage? A. Globalization is sure to do good to people. B. Globalization will be limited in the future. C. Globalization may change people’s lives in the future. D. Globalization will be loved throughout the would. 【答案】53. D 54. C 55. D 56. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了全球化这一热点社会话题。它改变了人们的思维方式和行为方式。在就业和文化两个领域产生了深远的影响。全球化将对人们未来的生活产生越来越大的影响。 【53题详解】 根据“These people also believe globalization helps prevent wars. This is because countries with economic（经济的）connections will try hard to keep good relationships so that their economies aren’t destroyed.”可知，这些人认为全球化有助于防止战争。这是因为国家之间可以保持良好的经济共同体。 【54题详解】 根据“Globalization has had a very strong influence on jobs all over the world.”可知，全球化对世界各地的工作都产生了深远的影响。 【55题详解】 根据“Cultures have also been affected by globalization. Foods such as Japanese noodles, Indian curry and French cheeses have spread around the world.”可知，文化也受到全球化的影响。包括饮食文化，你可以享受到来自不同国家的食物。 【56题详解】 根据“Most experts agree that it will continue to grow and have an increasingly greater influence on people’s lives in the future.”可知，全球化将对人们未来的生活产生越来越大的影响。 D It was the end of June and school was finished. “It seems like the end of everything, doesn’t it?” said Diana. She started crying. “Stop it or I’ll cry again. I don’t think I will pass this exam,” said Anne. “Yes, you will.

Then we went into the exam. Some of the girls looked so relaxed. My heart was beating so quickly. Then we did the English exam. Diana, I felt like I did four years ago when I asked Marilla about staying at Green Gables. In the afternoon we had a history exam. I think I did OK, but Diana, tomorrow we have geometry. I am worried about that. Yours Anne The exams finished and Anne went home on Friday evening. She was very tired and happy. Diana was waiting. “It’s wonderful to see you. I miss you. Did you do well?” asked Diana. “I think so, except with geometry. I don’t think I passed. It’s so good to be back. Green Gables is the best place in the world,” said Anne. “When do you get the results?” asked Diana. “In two weeks. They’ll be in the newspaper. Two weeks of waiting,” said Anne. “You’ll pass. Don’t worry.” “I want to pass with a high score or not at all,” said Anne. She seemed angry. Diana understood that Anne wanted a higher score than Gilbert. Anne and Gilbert were in competition with each other. They saw each other but didn’t speak. It was like they were strangers. Anne secretly wished that she was friends with Gilbert again. But she also wanted to get a higher score than him in the exam. Everyone thought Gilbert was going to get the highest score. She wanted to make Matthew and Marilla proud. Well mostly Matthew. The results were late. Finally after three weeks of waiting, they arrived. Diana came running to the house with a newspaper. “Anne, you’ve passed. You and Gilbert. You’re equal firsts,” said Diana. Anne took the newspaper. Yes, their names were at the top of a list of two hundred pupils. Wow. —Adapted from Anne of Green Gables 57. How long did Anne stay in Aunt Josephine’s house? A.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文节选自《绿山墙的安妮》，讲述了安妮去约瑟芬姑妈家参加考试，与戴安娜通信，最终与吉尔伯特并列第一的故事。 【57题详解】 第六段“Anne went to Aunt Josephine’s house on Monday.”，第八段“The exams finished and Anne went home on Friday evening.”，从周一到周五共5天。 【58题详解】 信中安妮详细描述了考试情况：“Then we did the English exam...In the afternoon we had a history exam...tomorrow we have geometry. I am worried about that.”，因此写信是为了告诉戴安娜考试情况。 【59题详解】 故事顺序为：安妮去姑妈家（第六段“Anne went to Aunt Josephine’s house on Monday.”）→安妮考历史（信中“In the afternoon we had a history exam”）→戴安娜收到信（第七段“On Wednesday Diana went to the post office. There was a letter from Anne.”）→成绩公布（倒数第三段“The results...arrived. Diana came running to the house with a newspaper.”），因此d→c→b→a。 【60题详解】 从第九段戴安娜说“I miss you”并跑来告诉安妮成绩，可以看出她非常关心安妮。 第二节 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Today a large number of young people are influenced by all kinds of choices.

As a successful businessman and ____71____(invent), Jobs’ passion (激情) and energy had a good effect on people. He told us “do what you love”.

As the US President Barack Obama said, “Jobs was brave enough to think ____75____ (different), bold (大胆的) enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it”. 【答案】66. passed 67. death 68. is considered 69. products 70. However 71. inventor 72. keeps 73. better 74. more interesting 75. differently 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了苹果公司创始人史蒂夫·乔布斯的逝世信息、他的杰出成就与个人精神，阐述了他为世界科技发展带来的巨大影响与价值。 【66题详解】 句意：苹果公司创始人、前首席执行官史蒂夫·乔布斯于2011年10月5日因癌症抗争七年后离世，享年56岁。句中有明确的过去时间状语“on October 5th, 2011”，表示过去发生的动作，因此用一般过去时，pass的过去式为passed。 【67题详解】 句意：他的离世对全世界来说是一个巨大的损失。空格前为形容词性物主代词His，其后需接名词作句子主语。die是动词，意为“死亡”，其名词形式death表示“死亡、离世”，符合语境。 【68题详解】 句意：他因自身的成就被许多人认为是伟人。句子主语He与谓语动词consider之间是被动关系，即他被人们评价，且此处是客观事实陈述，用一般现在时的被动语态，结构为“be+过去分词”，主语为第三人称单数，所以填is considered。 【69题详解】 句意：我们很多人都会列举出一些伟大的产品：iPod、iPod touch、iPhone和iPad。空格前的限定词some后接可数名词复数，produce是动词，意为“生产”，其名词product表示“产品”，复数形式为products。 【70题详解】 句意：然而，乔布斯带给世界的远比这些热门产品更多。前文讲述了乔布斯的经典产品，后文递进阐述他带来的精神价值，前后语义为转折关系。空格位于句首，单独使用、用逗号隔开，故填转折副词However，首字母大写。 【71题详解】 句意：作为一名成功的商人和发明家，乔布斯的激情和精力对人们产生了良好的影响。空格前有不定冠词a，且与businessman并列，需填单数名词，表示人的身份。invent是动词“发明”，inventor表示“发明家”，符合人物身份语境。 【72题详解】 句意：唯一支撑我坚持下去的事情是我热爱我所做的事。本句为直接引语，是客观真理、常态感悟，用一般现在时。定语从句先行词为the only thing，从句谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，故keep变为keeps。 【73题详解】 句意：有激情的人能让世界变得更好。固定搭配for the better为固定短语，意为“好转、向好的方向发展”，结合语境暗含对比含义，需用good的比较级better。 【74题详解】 句意：乔布斯让电脑变得更有趣、使用更便捷。空格后出现并列连词and，连接并列的形容词比较级，后文easier为比较级，因此空处也需用比较级。interesting是多音节形容词，比较级形式为more interesting。 【75题详解】 句意：乔布斯足够勇敢，能与众不同地思考，足够大胆，坚信自己可以改变世界，也足够有天赋去实现它。空格前动词think，需用副词修饰动词，different是形容词“不同的”，副词形式differently表示“不同地、与众不同地”。 六、短文填空 (本题共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据各题所给首字母的提示，写出一个合适的英语单词完整的、正确的形式，使短文通顺。 Last year, fashion designer Jiang Xi made online videos of her practising Baduanjin, one of traditional Chinese regimens (养生之道).

One answer is written records. The earliest written records of Chinese civilization (文明) are known as oracle bone inscriptions (甲骨文). More than 3, 000 years ago, people in the Shang Dynasty (about 16th—11th century BC) liked to ask fortune tellers (占卜师) about the future. For example, what will the weather be like next week? Where should I go to make money? Will my wife give birth to a boy or a girl? From work to love, people asked questions about many topics. The fortune teller would write the question on an oracle bone, heat it up, and then read the cracks (裂纹) in it to find an answer. Tens of thousands of oracle bones have been found so far. They can tell us a great deal about how people lived during the Shang Dynasty. “They help us understand the origins of Chinese philosophy (哲学) and thought, and figure out where our culture comes from,” Song Zhenhao, a leading oracle bone expert, told China Daily. In addition to (除了) telling us about ancient Chinese culture, the oracle bones are also key to understanding the development of Chinese characters (汉字). Many of the characters we use today are similar to those used 3000 years ago. “The oracle bone inscriptions, as the earliest-known mature (成熟的) form of Chinese characters, represent the beauty and uniqueness (唯一) of a language that has been passed down,” said Chen Nan, a professor at Tsinghua University. In 2017, UNESCO added oracle bone inscriptions to its Memory of the World Register (“世界记忆”名录). They are indeed a valuable memory of ancient China. 根据上面短文内容，回答下列问题（每小题答案不超过6个单词）。 86. According to the passage, what is the earliest written records of Chinese civilization? ______________________________________________________________ 87. How long is the history of oracle bone inscriptions? ______________________________________________________________ 88. Besides ancient Chinese culture, what do the oracle bones also tell us? ______________________________________________________________ 89. When did UNESCO add oracle bone inscriptions to its Memory of the World Register? ______________________________________________________________ 90. What do you think of oracle bone inscriptions? ______________________________________________________________ 【答案】86. Oracle bone inscriptions. 87. More than 3000 years./Over 3000 years. 88. The development of Chinese characters. 89. In 2017. 90. Valuable./They are valuable./They are a valuable memory./They help to understand ancient China. (言之有理即可) 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国的甲骨文，不仅告诉了我们中国古代的文化，也是我们理解汉语书面形式成长和发展的关键。 【86题详解】 根据“The earliest written records of Chinese civilization (文明) are known as oracle bone inscriptions (甲骨文).”可知，中国文明最早的文字记录是甲骨文，故填Oracle bone inscriptions. 【87题详解】 根据“More than 3, 000 years ago, people in the Shang Dynasty (about 16th—11th century BC) liked to ask fortune tellers (占卜师) about the future. ”可知，有三千多年历史了。故填More than 3000 years./Over 3000 years. 【88题详解】 根据“In addition to (除了) telling us about ancient Chinese culture, the oracle bones are also key to understanding the development of Chinese characters (汉字). ”可知，除了告诉我们中国古代文化，甲骨文也是了解汉字发展的关键。故填The development of Chinese characters. 【89题详解】 根据“In 2017, UNESCO added oracle bone inscriptions to its Memory of the World Register (‘世界记忆’名录). They are indeed a valuable memory of ancient China.”可知，2017年，联合国教科文组织将甲骨文列入“世界记忆”名录。故填In 2017. 【90题详解】 开放性作答，言之有理即可。根据“They are indeed a valuable memory of ancient China.”可知，可以说甲骨文很有价值/是宝贵的回忆/有助于了解古代中国。故填Valuable./They are valuable./They are a valuable memory./They help to understand ancient China. 八、书面表达（本题满分25分） 91. 2025年已经成为过去，这一年许多人陪你度过。是谁理解你、信任你？是谁助你勇敢前行？是谁逆境中安抚你？拥有的都是幸运，我们应该心存感恩。请根据下面图示并结合你的成长体会，写一篇题为“My Thanks”的短文表达你的感激之情和对他们的祝福。 注意： 1. 词数90左右，开头已经写好，不计入总词数； 2. 表达中请勿提及真实校名及姓名。 My Thanks The year 2025 has passed.

It may sound like an unusual piece of advice, but it is true--the first impression someone has of you when meeting you for the first time will probably influence how that person treats you or reacts to you in the future. What is even more interesting is that the brain takes in all the information to create that first impression in about three seconds. When you meet someone for the first time, by the time you have stated your name or shaken hands, the other person has already formed an opinion about the kind of person you are. So how do you make a good first impression? All things grown-ups tell you—such as being polite, and being well—dressed—are very important. However, the most important tool for making a good first impression is your face. Smiling and looking like you are happy will almost always leave a positive (积极的)impression on people, especially those who do not know you. Most people, generally speaking, are ready to smile back when they are smiled at. Furthermore, smiling and being in a positive mood helps you to know and get a better understanding of new things. This means that you can possibly be friendlier to people you do not know and be more creative and able to solve problems more quickly. So if you ever need a reason to be happy, think about the wonderful people you might meet—and impress—with a cheerful smile. 49. Which paragraph shows how soon others form opinions on you? A. Paragraph 1. B. Paragraph 2. C. Paragraph 3. D. Paragraph 4. 50. What is the most important if you want to leave a good first impression? A. Shaking hands. B. Stating your name. C. Dressing nicely. D. Wearing a smile. 51. What can be learned from the last paragraph? A. Friendliness helps solve problems. B. Being positive helps you find a way out. C. There are many reasons to be happy. D. Thinking of great people cheers you up. 52. What would be the best title for the text? A. The First Impression Does Matter B. Impressions Decide Who You Are C. Manners Leave Deep Impressions D. Smiling Makes the First Impression C Globalization means that people, ideas, technology, money, services and many other things are moving between countries and changing the way people think and act. Not everyone thinks the same way about globalization. Some people think it is bad, and some people think it is good. Some believe that globalization helps rich people get richer and makes poor people poorer. These people say that globalization helps big companies like Coca-Cola and McDonald’s destroy（破坏）local businesses. However, the people who think globalization is a good thing argue that globalization helps poorer people to become richer. They also think that it doesn’t destroy local cultures. These people also believe globalization helps prevent wars. This is because countries with economic（经济的）connections will try hard to keep good relationships so that their economies aren’t destroyed. Whether you think globalization is good or bad, it affects the world in two areas: jobs and cultures. Globalization has had a very strong influence on jobs all over the world. For some workers, such as engineers, lawyers and bankers, globalization has been a good development. These workers are able to successfully compete（竞争）globally and have seen an increase in their pay. But for those who work in factories or in the service industry（at hotels, shops and restaurants）, it has not been good. Workers from poorer countries are trying to get these types of jobs. They will do the same job for less money. This decreases the pay for that job, so people get paid less to do it. Cultures have also been affected by globalization. Foods such as Japanese noodles, Indian curry and French cheeses have spread around the world. We can also see an increase in the use of Chinese characters（汉字）in tattoos（文身）. Some people get these tattoos but they don’t really know what the characters mean. Globalization also affects the film industry. Most people have seen American movies. But because of globalization, Korean, Indian and Japanese movies have become more worldwide. No one knows the future of globalization. Most experts agree that it will continue to grow and have an increasingly greater influence on people’s lives in the future. 53. Some people think globalization is good because it may _______. A. change local cultures B. help local businesses develop C. make rich people become richer D. help stop wars among countries 54. According to Paragraph 4, we know _______. A. engineers will get a lower pay B. people can get favourite jobs more easily C. globalization greatly affects people’s jobs D. workers from rich countries get paid less 55. Globalization helps people in the world _______. A. know Chinese characters very well B. go to different countries for movies C. own the same culture in the end D. enjoy foods from different countries 56. What can we infer（推断）from the passage? A. Globalization is sure to do good to people. B. Globalization will be limited in the future. C. Globalization may change people’s lives in the future. D. Globalization will be loved throughout the would. D It was the end of June and school was finished. “It seems like the end of everything, doesn’t it?” said Diana. She started crying. “Stop it or I’ll cry again. I don’t think I will pass this exam,” said Anne. “Yes, you will. I want to go with you, imagine how much fun it will be.” “Yes, but I will have to study a lot. It was so nice of your Aunt Josephine to ask me to stay at her house,” said Anne. “You’ll write to me, won’t you?” asked Diana. Anne went to Aunt Josephine’s house on Monday. On Wednesday Diana went to the post office. There was a letter from Anne. Dear Diana, It’s Tuesday night and I’m writing this from Aunt Josephine’s house. Last night I was really lonely in my room without you. This morning I went to the Academy. There were lots of students. People were doing funny things before the exam. One boy was talking to himself. Then we went into the exam. Some of the girls looked so relaxed. My heart was beating so quickly. Then we did the English exam. Diana, I felt like I did four years ago when I asked Marilla about staying at Green Gables. In the afternoon we had a history exam. I think I did OK, but Diana, tomorrow we have geometry. I am worried about that. Yours Anne The exams finished and Anne went home on Friday evening. She was very tired and happy. Diana was waiting. “It’s wonderful to see you. I miss you. Did you do well?” asked Diana. “I think so, except with geometry. I don’t think I passed. It’s so good to be back. Green Gables is the best place in the world,” said Anne. “When do you get the results?” asked Diana. “In two weeks. They’ll be in the newspaper. Two weeks of waiting,” said Anne. “You’ll pass. Don’t worry.” “I want to pass with a high score or not at all,” said Anne. She seemed angry. Diana understood that Anne wanted a higher score than Gilbert. Anne and Gilbert were in competition with each other. They saw each other but didn’t speak. It was like they were strangers. Anne secretly wished that she was friends with Gilbert again. But she also wanted to get a higher score than him in the exam. Everyone thought Gilbert was going to get the highest score. She wanted to make Matthew and Marilla proud. Well mostly Matthew. The results were late. Finally after three weeks of waiting, they arrived. Diana came running to the house with a newspaper. “Anne, you’ve passed. You and Gilbert. You’re equal firsts,” said Diana. Anne took the newspaper. Yes, their names were at the top of a list of two hundred pupils. Wow. —Adapted from Anne of Green Gables 57. How long did Anne stay in Aunt Josephine’s house? A.

One answer is written records. The earliest written records of Chinese civilization (文明) are known as oracle bone inscriptions (甲骨文). More than 3, 000 years ago, people in the Shang Dynasty (about 16th—11th century BC) liked to ask fortune tellers (占卜师) about the future. For example, what will the weather be like next week? Where should I go to make money? Will my wife give birth to a boy or a girl? From work to love, people asked questions about many topics. The fortune teller would write the question on an oracle bone, heat it up, and then read the cracks (裂纹) in it to find an answer. Tens of thousands of oracle bones have been found so far. They can tell us a great deal about how people lived during the Shang Dynasty. “They help us understand the origins of Chinese philosophy (哲学) and thought, and figure out where our culture comes from,” Song Zhenhao, a leading oracle bone expert, told China Daily. In addition to (除了) telling us about ancient Chinese culture, the oracle bones are also key to understanding the development of Chinese characters (汉字). Many of the characters we use today are similar to those used 3000 years ago. “The oracle bone inscriptions, as the earliest-known mature (成熟的) form of Chinese characters, represent the beauty and uniqueness (唯一) of a language that has been passed down,” said Chen Nan, a professor at Tsinghua University. In 2017, UNESCO added oracle bone inscriptions to its Memory of the World Register (“世界记忆”名录). They are indeed a valuable memory of ancient China. 根据上面短文内容，回答下列问题（每小题答案不超过6个单词）。 86. According to the passage, what is the earliest written records of Chinese civilization? ______________________________________________________________ 87. How long is the history of oracle bone inscriptions? ______________________________________________________________ 88.
