B Kristy and her mom just moved to the house, she was exploring her new old house when she found this old photo. “Look,” Kristy smiled up from an old photo. “It says, Mabel beside Monarch Lake, summer 1910.” said Kristy as she held up the photo. “I read that Mabel and her family used to live in this house, and then her kids and grandkids lived here after that.” said Kristy’s mother. “Oh, here’s Mrs. Stevens — right on time! She agreed to look after you while I’m at work.” As Mrs. Stevens sat down, Kristy showed her the photo of Mabel. “Did you know her, Mrs. Stevens?” asked Kristy. “Ah, Mabel Black. She once said Monarch Lake was her favorite place in the world.” said Mrs. Stevens. “But where was Monarch Lake, and why was it so special?” asked Kristy. “Oh, I never asked…” Mrs. Stevens replied. Monarch Lake became a mystery (迷) for Kristy. The next morning, Kristy went to the library to learn about Monarch Lake. She looked at maps. They showed streets and houses, but no lakes. She also searched online, and found nothing about it. Back home, Kristy was looking at the yard when she suddenly had an idea. She ran to get the old photo. In the picture, she saw a church tower behind some small trees. It looked just like the tower she could see from her own backyard! “The photo was taken here!” she shouted. But where was the lake? Kristy was confused (疑惑). That night, it rained hard. The next morning, Kristy looked out her window and saw something wonderful. She ran downstairs to her mom. “Shh,” her mom smiled, pointing to the garden. The rain had made a small puddle (水坑) in the middle of the flowers. Many monarch butterflies (帝王蝶) were flying around it. How magical it was! Now Kristy understood! Monarch Lake was not a big lake — it was this special little puddle for butterflies. 21 Where did Kristy find the old photo? A. In the library. B. In her new house. C. At Mrs. Stevens’ home. D. Beside Monarch Lake. 22. Why did Monarch Lake become a mystery for Kristy? A. Because her mom refused to talk about it with her. B.

Kristy’s New House B. A Trip to the Library C. The Secret of Monarch Lake D. The Story of Mabel Black C Throughout history, Chinese people have used many different ways to record information. These changes show how clever and creative our ancestors were. Long, long ago, people wrote on animal bones and turtle shells. This was called “oracle bones”. They carved (雕刻) words on them to ask questions about the future. Carving was hard work and took a long time. Later, people began to use bamboo slips (竹简). They wrote on thin pieces of bamboo and tied them together to make a book. However, bamboo slips were heavy and took up a lot of space. A single book could fill a whole room! Then a great invention came — papermaking. It was one of the Four Great Inventions of ancient China. People used plant fibers (纤维) and old cloth to make paper. It was light, cheap, and easy to carry. They wrote on paper with brushes. The brush was made of animal hair and bamboo. They also used ink made from burnt wood and water. This invention made writing much faster and more convenient. Most importantly, knowledge could spread more easily. In modern times, people started to use pencils and pens. Pencils were good for drawing and changing words because you could erase them. Pens were even better because they didn’t need to be put in ink all the time. Writing became cleaner and quicker. Many people began to write diaries and letters. Nowadays, we have computers and smartphones. We can type, save and send information in seconds. We don’t need paper or pens anymore. A small USB drive (U盘) can store thousands of books. E-books, emails and online documents are very common. Recording information has never been so easy or fast. From oracle bones to electronic products, the way we record information has changed a lot. Each new way has made our life better. And who knows what amazing invention will come next? 26. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to (指代)? A. The written words. B. The ancient people. C. The future questions. D. The bones and shells. 27. According to the passage, why did people stop using bamboo slips? A. Because they were hard to find. B. Because they were too expensive. C. Because they were heavy and large. D. Because they were hard to be tied together. 28. According to the passage, what happened after papermaking? A. People stopped using brushes. B. Writing took a very long time. C. People had no way to record things. D. More people could learn new things. 29. How does the writer organize this passage? A. By following the order of time. B. By listing reasons for an opinion. C. By comparing two different ideas. D. By describing a problem and a solution. 30. What is the passage mainly about? A. The Four Great Inventions of ancient China. B. The changes of recording information in China. C. How to use computers and smartphones to type. D. Why people stopped using bamboo slips and pens. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从方框内所列选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺、连贯。（选项中有一项多余） Everyone wants to be treated politely.

These small words show that you care about others’ feelings. Polite words can open doors and make people want to help you.

When you really listen, you learn more and hurt less. ● Respect people’s space and things. 33 Knock on the door before you enter a room. Keep your voice down when people are working or resting.

It’s not because foreigners don’t like watermelons but “they can’t 36 them”. Do you know why? That’s 37 they’re too expensive in most countries. It’s reported that a kilo of watermelon in US is about $6.91 in New York, which is about ¥46 in China. Watermelons are also 38 for being expensive in Japan and South Korea. But things are different in China. According to the FAO (联合国粮农组织), China is now the world’s 39 producer and consumer of watermelons. Firstly, China’s land area is large. And the weather is just right for planting watermelons. With the large output (产量), the price is 40 much lower. Secondly, countries like the USA and Australia have a wide land, but watermelons were not 41 there as early as in China. The local people 42 other fruits that were known earlier to watermelons. So, watermelons are not as 43 as other fruits. Thirdly, according to some 44 , watermelons from foreign countries may not taste good. However, in China, we seldom eat watermelons that taste bad. Why is that? Wu Mingzhu is a 96-year-old Chinese scientist. She has 45 her whole life on the improvement of growing better watermelons. Thanks to her hard work, we can enjoy more delicious and much cheaper watermelons. 四、读写结合（共两节，满分25分） 第一节 任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，用英文填空或回答问题。（注意每小题的词数要求） Would you rather get energy from black coal or from the sun, wind, and water? Many countries are now using new energy. It’s clean, safe, and will never run out. Around the world, people are finding creative ways to “catch” nature’s power! In Germany, many families put solar panels (太阳能板) on their roofs. The sun gives them free electricity and hot water. Some schools even use solar power to light up their classrooms. In the United States, big wind farms stand on open hills or even in the sea. The wind spins (旋转) the tall fans, and the spinning makes electricity. One windmill (风车) can power hundreds of homes. In China, the Three Gorges Dam (三峡大坝) is one of the biggest power stations in the world. It uses moving water to make electricity. When water rushes down, it turns huge machines. Millions of families get their power from this “water power.” In Iceland, people dig deep into the earth to get hot water and steam. This is called geothermal (地热) energy. The hot water from underground heats their houses and swimming pools all year round. Even when it’s cold outside, their homes stay warm. In Brazil, some cars don’t use gas. They run on a special thing made from plants. This is called biofuel. It burns cleaner than oil and helps keep the air fresh. These smart ideas show us that we don’t have to pollute the Earth to get energy. With new energy, we can live better and protect our beautiful planet at the same time. Every small step can make a big difference! 46. Why is new energy good for us? List two reasons. _________________________________________________________________（列举2项，不超过9词，2分） 47-49.
