B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了漫画家查尔斯·舒尔茨（Charles Schulz）的青少年经历——他在学校各方面都表现不佳，屡遭拒绝，但凭借对绘画的热爱与坚持，最终创作出风靡全球的经典卡通形象查理·布朗（Charlie Brown），是一篇关于“坚持梦想、化挫折为动力”的人物励志故事。 【6题详解】 句意：Sparky在学校几乎每门课都不及格。 根据后文“He didn’t do much _______ in sports”及“only important match of the season”，可知他在学习和体育方面都很糟糕。fail意为“失败；不及格”，此处用一般过去时failed，与前文时态一致，符合“学业不佳”的语境描述。 【7题详解】 句意：他在体育方面也没怎么出色。 do well in...为固定搭配，意为“在……方面表现出色”。much为程度副词，修饰比较级，构成“do much better in sports”结构；结合前文“all but impossible（几乎不可能）”和后文“lost matches（输掉比赛）”，此处表达他体育也不行。 【8题详解】 句意：他输掉了赛季中唯一重要的一场比赛。 根据“only”，可知特指唯一的一场比赛，用定冠词the表示特指。a“一个”，an“一个”都表泛指；“/”不符合特指语境。 【9题详解】 句意：Sparky是个失败者。 空后无名词，排除名词所有格loser’s；根据上文“failed every subject”、“didn’t do much well”、“lost matches”等一系列失败经历的铺垫，以及下文的反复被拒绝，此处总结性地将Sparky定义为“失败者（loser）”。 【10题详解】 句意：他，他的同学……所有人都知道这件事。 根据上下文，Sparky在学校的失败众所周知。“everyone”意为“每个人”，强调所有人都知道他是失败者这一事实，与下文“asked a classmate to go out...was refused”相呼应。anyone“任何人”，someone“某人”及no one“没有人”均不符合语境。 【11题详解】 句意：Sparky在高中从来没有邀请过同学出去。 根据后文“He was too afraid of being refused（他太害怕被拒绝）”可知，他因缺乏自信而不敢行动。never表“从未”，与afraid of being refused形成因果逻辑。always“总是”，often“经常”及usually“通常”均表肯定频率，与害怕被拒矛盾。 【12题详解】 句意：然而有一件事对Sparky来说很重要——绘画。 “One thing”作主语，谓语动词需用单数；全文以一般过去时叙述，故be动词用was。 【13题详解】 句意：尽管漫画被拒了，但Sparky对自己的能力如此自信，以至于他决定成为一名艺术家。 前后句构成让步关系——虽然无人欣赏，但他自信满满。Although引导让步状语从句，意为“虽然；尽管”，恰当地表达了这种转折逻辑。because“因为”，if“如果”及when“当……时候”均无转折意。 【14题详解】 句意：尽管漫画被拒了，但Sparky对自己的能力如此自信，以至于他决定成为一名艺术家。 空前为系动词“was so”，需接形容词作表语，且空处不含比较之意。confident意为“自信的”，so confident表示“如此自信”，与上句“nobody else appreciated”形成鲜明对比，突出他对自身才能的坚定信念。more confident“更自信的”，confidence“信心”及the most confident“最自信的”均不符合语境。 【15题详解】 句意：完成高中学业后，他给迪士尼工作室写了一封信。 After为介词，后面接动名词形式。complete意为“完成”，其动名词为completing；After completing high school表示“高中毕业之后”。 【16题详解】  句意：他被（迪士尼）告知寄送一些作品样本。 主语He与tell之间为被动关系——是“被告知”，需用被动语态。全文为一般过去时，故使用一般过去时的被动语态was told。 【17题详解】 句意：Sparky花了很多时间在上面。 spend time on sth.为固定搭配，意为“在某事上花费时间”。on在此处引出花费时间的对象/内容（即寄送作品样本这件事）。at“在”，with“和”及for“为了”均不与spend time构成搭配。 【18题详解】 句意：最终，来自迪士尼的回复来了。 come from...意为“来自……”，此处指迪士尼的回复信件送达了。时态为一般过去时，故用过去式came。 【19题详解】 句意：这个卡通角色很快就在世界范围内闻名了。 would+动词原形表示“将会；本来会”，表达在过去对未来的预期或假设。should“应该”，must“必须”及had to“不得不”语意不符。 【20题详解】 句意：他创造了那个小人物——查理·布朗。 根据文章结尾“become famous worldwide”可知，Sparky最终还是创造出了经典角色，时态为一般过去时，动词使用过去式created。 三、完形填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能填入相应空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将相应的字母编号涂黑。 In ancient times, there was a king who had many slaves (奴隶) working for him. One day a slave called Androcles ran away. He stopped in a forest to have a rest because he was so ____21____ after running for a long time. Suddenly he heard a lion crying ____22____. He felt afraid when he saw the lion coming to him. Instead of attacking him, the lion kept on ____23____ and looking at Androcles. Androcles saw its right paw (爪子) with a lot of blood. Looking closer at it, Androcles saw a big thorn (刺) in the paw, and he realized this was the lion’s ____24____. With courage, Androcles ____25____ the thorn. After feeling better, the lion touched Androcles softly because it was truly ____26____ for Androcles’s help. One day, the king’s soldiers came to the forest and found Androcles. They took him back and he was sentenced to death. The king asked a lion to come out and ____27____ Androcles. This was a rule to ____28____ the runaway slaves. But when the lion came out and got near Androcles, it didn’t attack him. It was the lion that Androcles saved in the ____29____. Androcles told the king the story between them and how the lion was showing thanks for what he did. The ____30____ was touched by Androcles’s story and decided to set him free. Be kind to others. Sometimes small acts of kindness would save your life at last. 21. A. glad B. tired C. stupid D. comfortable 22. A. loudly B. quietly C. happily D. confidently 23. A. running B. trying C. asking D. crying 24. A. brain B. success C. problem D. intelligence 25. A. poured out B. pulled out C. acted out D. rushed out 26. A. shy B. sad C. thankful D. important 27. A. tie B. attack C. promise D. wake 28. A. trick B. check C. punish D. protect 29. A. forest B. town C. city D. country 30. A. slave B. lion C. soldier D. king 【答案】21. B 22. A 23. D 24. C 25. B 26. C 27. B 28. C 29. A 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了古希腊寓言故事《安德鲁克勒斯与狮子》——奴隶安德鲁克勒斯逃亡途中拔除狮爪上的刺救助了狮子，后来被国王判处死刑时，狮子在竞技场认出了恩人并拒绝攻击他，最终安德鲁克勒斯因善行获救。故事传递了"善待他人，善行终将回报自己"的主题。 【21题详解】 句意：他在森林里停下来休息，因为跑了那么久之后他很疲倦。 根据上文“Androcles ran away”及后文“after running for a long time”可知，他因长途奔跑而疲惫不堪，需要休息。tired意为“累的；疲倦的”；glad“高兴的”、stupid“愚蠢的”、comfortable“舒适的”均不符合语境逻辑。 【22题详解】 句意：突然他听到一只狮子在大声地哭泣。 根据下文“Androcles saw its right paw（爪子）with a lot of blood”可知，狮子受伤了，受伤时的叫声应该是很大的。quietly“安静地”，happily“开心地”、confidently“自信地”均与后文语境矛盾。 【23题详解】  句意：狮子没有攻击他，而是继续哭，并看着安德鲁克勒斯。 keep on doing sth.为固定结构，意为“继续做某事”。前文提到狮子在“crying”，空处承接这一动作——狮子持续哭泣以引起注意。running“跑”、trying“尝试”、asking“询问”虽语义接近但与上下文的crying不连贯。 【24题详解】 句意：他意识到这就是狮子的问题所在。 根据后文描述“a big thorn in the paw”，可知狮子爪中有刺是它痛苦的根源，即它的“问题/麻烦”。brain“大脑”、success“成功”、intelligence“智力”均无法对应爪中刺带来的困扰。 【25题详解】 句意：鼓起勇气，安德鲁克勒斯拔出了那根刺。 pull out为固定短语动词，意为“拔出；拉出”。结合上文“a big thorn in the paw”可知，此处表达将刺从爪中取出之意。pour out“倾泻”、act out“表演出来/付诸行动”、rush out“冲出”均不符合语境。 【26题详解】 句意：因为它对安德鲁克勒斯的帮助真的非常感激。 空前为系动词was，需接形容词作表语。根据上文安德鲁克勒斯帮助狮子拔刺、狮子“touched...softly”等行为，可知狮子心存感激。thankful意为“感激的”；shy“害羞的”、sad“悲伤的”、important“重要的”均不能准确体现狮子对救命之恩的态度。 【27题详解】 句意：国王让一头狮子出来攻击安德鲁克勒斯。 根据下文“This was a rule to punish the runaway slaves”及前文“he was sentenced to death”可知，国王放狮子的目的是为了处决/惩罚安德鲁克勒斯。tie“捆绑”、promise“承诺”、wake“唤醒”均不符合“punished to death”“rule to punish”的法律惩罚语境。 【28题详解】 句意：这是惩罚逃跑奴隶的规定。 根据前文“he was sentenced to death”及整个竞技场场景，这是一条关于如何处置逃跑奴隶的法律规则。trick“戏弄”、check“检查”、protect“保护”均不符合语境。 【29题详解】 句意：它就是安德罗克勒斯在森林里救下的狮子。 根据“ One day, the king’s soldiers came to the forest and found Androcles.”可知，前文交代他在森林里偶遇并救助狮子。town“城镇”、city“城市”、country“国家”均不符合语境。 【30题详解】 句意：国王被安德鲁克勒斯的故事所感动，决定让他重获自由。 根据上文“Androcles told the king the story between them”可知，听完故事后被感动并做出决定的人正是这位国王。slave“奴隶”、lion“狮子”、soldier“士兵”不符合语境。 四、阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分） A One day, some tourists came to a hotel but there were only two rooms left. One was on the fourth floor and the other was on the seventh floor. “We Chinese like the number 8. 8 means we will get rich. We also like 9 because it means we can live long. But we don’t like the number 4 because it sounds like ‘death’ in Chinese. I think if we sleep on the fourth floor, we may die.” The Greeks said, “We want the room on the fourth floor. In Greece, 4 is a lucky number.” The South Korean said, “We don’t like number 4 or 13. 4 sounds like ‘death’ and 13 is an unlucky number in the west.” The tourists from the west said, “Oh, we love number 7. There are seven days in the world as it says in the Bible (圣经). We don’t like the number 13. It is an unlucky number. If we sleep on the 13th floor, ...” “In Japan, 4 sounds like ‘death’, so we don’t like it. And 6 is also not welcome. There isn’t the fourth floor or the sixth floor in the tall buildings in our country. However, we like 7 very much”, said the Japanese. At last, only the Greeks lived on the 4th floor, and the rest slept on the 7th floor. 31. Why do Chinese people like number 9? A. Because people like drinking wine. B. Because it means people can live long. C. Because it can bring people much money. D. Because it is good for people’s body. 32. Where is 4 a lucky number? A. In China. B. In Japan. C. In Greece. D. In South Korea. 33. Which of the following can complete the underlined sentence “If we sleep on the 13th floor, ...”? A. the others will find us easily. B. we can eat lots of delicious food there. C. we will have a good sleep. D. something bad may happen to us. 34. Who would sleep in the same room in the passage? A. Chinese, Japanese, westerners and South Koreans. B. Japanese, South Koreans, Chinese and Greeks. C. Greeks, westerners, Japanese and South Koreans. D. Chinese, Greeks, Japanese and westerners. 35. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Tourists from different countries had a talk in a hotel. B. Chinese people like numbers 8 and 9. C. Numbers have different meanings in different countries. D. When you choose a room in a hotel, you should think about your lucky number. 【答案】31. B 32. C 33. D 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【分析】这篇短文给我们讲述了在不同的国家里，数字有不同的意义，文章中提到了中国、希腊、韩国、日本以及一个西方国家。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据短文中We also like 9 because it means we can live long.可知，中国人喜欢数字9因为他们觉得这个数字意味着可以长寿。故选B。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据短文第三段中We want the room on the fourth floor. In Greece, 4 is a lucky number.可知，在希腊，4是一个很幸运的数字，故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中We don’t like the number 13. It is an unlucky number.可知，来自西方的这个游客说他们不喜欢13这个数字，他们觉得这是一个很不幸的数字。因此我们可以推测，如果住在13楼的话，会有不好的事情发生。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文意以及短文的最后At last, only the Greeks lived on the 4th floor, and the rest slept on the 7th floor.可知，文章中提到了中国人、希腊人、韩国人、西方人和日本人，在希腊，4是一个幸运的数字，而在其他的几个国家里，它都不是一个幸运的数字。因此最后希腊人住在了四楼，而其他人住在了7楼。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。这篇短文给我们讲述了在不同的国家里，数字有不同的意义，文章中提到了中国、希腊、韩国、日本以及一个西方国家。因此C选项是最能概括文章的大意，选C。 【点睛】这篇短文讲述了数字在不同国家里的不同意义，短文内容非常容易理解。后面的题目有细节理解题、推理判断题和主旨大意题，虽然题型不同，但是题目的答案都可以在原文找到。例如第1小题，根据题意我们应在原文中注意寻找Chinese以及9这个数字，那么在短文第二段中就先介绍了数字在中国的意义，根据这一段中对数字9的介绍可知应选B。第3小题是一个推理题，根据这个西方人所说的话我们可以知道，在他们的国家里，13是一个不吉利的数字，由此可知，如果他住在13楼，那么他会觉得有不吉利的事情发生。故应选D。 B During the Jin Dynasty (265—420), there was a child named Che Yin. He was smart and loved to read. He grew up in a poor family and didn’t have enough money for lamp oil to study at night. One night, he saw fireflies (萤火虫) outside his house and came up with an idea. He caught some fireflies in a cloth bag and hung the bag up as a lamp. It is said that he spent all of his summer nights reading like this. Another child named Sun Kang also loved reading. One night during winter, Sun used up all his lamp oil and couldn’t study at night. When he woke up at night, he saw the snow reflecting (反射) the moonlight outside his house. “Oh, I can use the reflected light to read!” he thought. He took out his books and read, even though he was freezing cold. Both of the kids later became successful government officials (政府官员). People were moved because of their hard-working spirit (精神) and turned their stories into the Chinese idiom (成语) nangying yingxue. Present Xi Jinping once told these stories at the Party School of the CPC Central Committee (中共中央党校). He talked about nangying yingxue, xuanliang cigu and zaobi touguang. All of these stories encourage people to study hard even though they will meet difficulties. Xi hopes that government officials can keep this hard-working spirit in mind. All of us can learn a lot from these stories. Although they don’t take place in modern times, they are just like the light of fireflies—they light up the road to knowledge. 36. Why did Che Yin collect fireflies? A. Because fireflies are bright enough for him to read. B. Because he wanted to do an experiment. C. Because he wanted to play with them for fun. D. Because he wanted to show them to his friends. 37. What did Che Yin and Sun Kang have in common? A. They liked nature and animals. B. They were rich and they liked to read. C. They worked very hard and became successful. D. They became teachers. 38. How many idioms are mentioned in the passage? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 39. What is the purpose of President Xi Jinping to talk about the stories? A. He hopes that government officials can read more books. B. He hopes that government officials can keep the hard-working spirit in mind. C. He hopes that more people can become government officials. D. He hopes that all people can learn more knowledge. 40. What is the best title for the passage? A. Read More and Become Successful B. Work Hard at Night C. Road to Knowledge D. Old Stories, Hard-working Spirits 【答案】36. A 37. C 38. B 39. B 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了车胤和孙康艰难求学的故事，激励人们克服困难，努力学习。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“He caught some fireflies in a cloth bag and hung the bag up as a lamp. It is said that he spent all of his summer nights reading like this.”可知，车胤收集萤火虫的目的是因为萤火虫够亮，他可以看书。故选A。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Both of the kids later became successful government officials. People were moved because of their hard-working spirit and turned their stories into the Chinese idiom nangying yingxue.”可知，他们的共同点是非常努力并取得了成功。故选C。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“He talked about nangying yingxue, xuanliang cigu and zaobi touguang.”可知，文章提到了“囊萤映雪”、“悬梁刺股”和“凿壁偷光”三个成语。故选B。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“All of these stories encourage people to study hard even though they will meet difficulties. Xi hopes that government officials can keep this hard-working spirit in mind.”可知，他希望政府官员保持这种艰苦奋斗的精神。故选B。 【40题详解】 最佳标题题。综合全文可知，文章主要讲了车胤和孙康艰难求学的故事，激励人们克服困难，努力学习；选项D“老故事，艰苦奋斗的精神”适合作为文章的标题。故选D。 C Though oceans cover about 71 percent of the earth’s surface, there’s still a lot we don’t know about them. Only about 20 percent of the seafloor has been mapped, and the remaining 80 percent is still a secret to us. Some scientists even think that 91 percent of sea animals have yet to be discovered. So why do we know so little about the deep sea? Well, getting to those depths is very difficult and requires high technology that simply didn’t come into being for most of human history. The first navigable submarine (可驾驶的潜水艇), for example, was built in 1620, and it couldn’t go more than five meters below the surface. In fact, for a long time many scientists didn’t even think that there could be any life at depths greater than 550 meters and didn’t see much need to explore (探索) the deep sea. However, this changed in 1862 when life was discovered as far down as 945 meters below sea level with the help of a digging machine. Ten years later, around 4, 700 species (物种) unknown before from the ocean floor were discovered. Since then, high technology has been developed to help explore the deep sea, including satellites. But why is deep-sea exploration still so difficult? Well, at greater depths it is freezing (极冷的), everything is completely dark, and the pressure can be over 1, 000 times greater than that on the surface. Though we have the difficulties, it’s important that we understand the seas. They help control the earth’s temperature and produce half of the oxygen (O2) in the air. They can also provide us with information about climate change. Our future depends on learning more about our oceans, and it is possible for us to really understand what is ongoing below the surface. 41. Why are some numbers listed in Paragraph 1? A. To introduce how important oceans are. B. To discuss why sea animals have yet to be found out. C. To explain that oceans cover a large area of the earth. D. To show that we have only a little understanding of oceans. 42. What caused the change of exploration into the deep sea? A. High technology. B. Unknown species. C. A pleasant environment. D. Valuable information. 43. What does the underlined word “They” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Sea animals. B. The seas. C. The satellites. D. Many scientists. 44. What can we learn from the text? A. It is difficult to build a navigable submarine. B. The seas have a strong influence on our future. C. The seas have no lives at a depth of 550 meters. D. It is easier to go into the deep sea than we think. 45. What could be the best title of the text? A. Hidden Treasures in Deep Sea B. Unlocked Secrets of Deep Sea C. Deep-Sea Exploration: Into the Freezing Depths D. Deep-Sea Exploration: The Past and the Future 【答案】41. D 42. A 43. B 44. B 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了了解海洋的重要性。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Though oceans cover about 71 percent of the earth’s surface, there’s still a lot we don’t know about them.…”可知列举的数字表明，尽管海洋覆盖地球的71%，但是我们仍然知之甚少。故选D。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据“In fact, for a long time many scientists didn’t even think that there could be any life at depths greater than 550 meters and didn’t see much need to explore the deep sea.”和“Since then, high technology has been developed to help explore the deep sea, including satellites.”可知探索深海需要高科技的帮助。故选A。 【43题详解】 词义推断题。根据“Though we have the difficulties, it’s important that we understand the seas.”可知虽然我们有困难，但了解海洋是很重要的。此处they指代上文的seas。故选B。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Our future depends on learning more about our oceans, and it is possible for us to really understand what is ongoing below the surface.”可知我们的未来取决于更多地了解我们的海洋，说明海洋对我们的未来有很大影响。故选B。 【45题详解】 最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了探索海洋的重要性，根据“Since then, high technology has been developed to help explore the deep sea, including satellites. But why is deep-sea exploration still so difficult?”可知主要是介绍深海探究的现状，并不是过去与未来。故选C。 五、阅读填空（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） 根据短文的内容，从所给的选项中选出能够填入短文空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.

A CCTV program reported that the food Chinese people throw away every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.

However##owever 54. inventors##nventors 55. rest##est 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，围绕“珍惜粮食、反对浪费”这一主题展开。文章从中国古诗“谁知盘中餐，粒粒皆辛苦”引入，引用央视报道数据说明食物浪费的严重性，进而强调即使科技发展了，节约粮食仍然至关重要。 【51题详解】 句意：每个中国人可能都知道那两句著名的诗句“谁知盘中餐，粒粒皆辛苦”。此处需用副词修饰动词knows，表示对事实的推测。首字母提示为p，probably意为“很可能；大概”，作状语修饰动词knows，表达“几乎每个中国人应该都听过这两句诗”。 【52题详解】 句意：盘中每一谷物都来自辛勤劳动（谁知盘中餐，粒粒皆辛苦）。空前有不定冠词every，后接可数名词单数；结合中文注释“粒”及诗句“粒粒皆辛苦”，可知此处指粮食的颗粒/谷粒。首字母提示为g，grain意为“谷物；谷粒”，every grain of...即“每一粒……”。 【53题详解】 句意：然而，我们许多人并没有真正理解这些话的含义：不要浪费食物。前半句提到人人都知道诗句，后半句说很多人并未真正理解其中含义，前后构成明显的转折关系。首字母提示为h，However意为“然而；可是”，置于句首表转折，逗号隔开。注意首字母大写。 【54题详解】 句意：虽然发明者发明了许多现代机器来帮助增加食物产量。空前为Although（虽然），空处需填名词作主语；根据“invented many modern machines”可知，主语应为“发明者/发明家”这一群体。首字母提示为i，inventor的复数inventors表泛指。 【55题详解】 句意：例如，如果我们不能吃完点的所有食物，就把剩余部分带回家。take the rest of sth.，意为“取某物的其余部分”；根据句意“不能全部吃完→把剩下的带走”，此处表达“剩余部分”之意。首字母提示为r，take the rest of it home表示“把剩余的带回家”，rest在此处作名词，意为“剩余部分”。 七、完成句子（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 56. 远离危险物品对我们来说是明智的。 It is ________ ________ us ________ ________ away from dangerous objects. 【答案】 ①. wise ②. of ③. to ④. get##keep##stay 【解析】 【详解】固定句型It is+形容词+of sb to do sth“对某人来说做某事是怎么样的”；wise“明智的”；get/keep/stay away from“远离”。故填wise；of；to；get/keep/stay。 57. 老人家向国王挑战下棋而不是打扑克牌。 The old man ________ the king ________ a game of playing chess ________ ________ playing cards. 【答案】 ①. challenged ②. to ③. instead ④. of 【解析】 【详解】challenge sb. to do sth.表示“挑战某人做某事”，由汉意可知，时态为一般过去时，动词要用过去式；instead of“代替，而不是”，后接动名词。故填challenged；to；instead；of。 58. 我有很多兴趣爱好。例如，唱歌、跳舞、游泳等等。 I have many hobbies, such as singing,dancing,swimming ________ ________ _________ . 【答案】 ①. and ②. so ③. on 【解析】 【详解】and so on表示等等，根据汉语提示，故填and so on。 59. 人们不知道恐龙为什么灭绝了。但是现在我们可以从化石了解它们。 People don’t know why dinosaurs ________ ________.

One was on the fourth floor and the other was on the seventh floor. “We Chinese like the number 8. 8 means we will get rich. We also like 9 because it means we can live long. But we don’t like the number 4 because it sounds like ‘death’ in Chinese. I think if we sleep on the fourth floor, we may die.” The Greeks said, “We want the room on the fourth floor. In Greece, 4 is a lucky number.” The South Korean said, “We don’t like number 4 or 13. 4 sounds like ‘death’ and 13 is an unlucky number in the west.” The tourists from the west said, “Oh, we love number 7. There are seven days in the world as it says in the Bible (圣经). We don’t like the number 13. It is an unlucky number. If we sleep on the 13th floor, ...” “In Japan, 4 sounds like ‘death’, so we don’t like it. And 6 is also not welcome. There isn’t the fourth floor or the sixth floor in the tall buildings in our country. However, we like 7 very much”, said the Japanese. At last, only the Greeks lived on the 4th floor, and the rest slept on the 7th floor. 31. Why do Chinese people like number 9? A. Because people like drinking wine. B.

When you choose a room in a hotel, you should think about your lucky number. B During the Jin Dynasty (265—420), there was a child named Che Yin. He was smart and loved to read. He grew up in a poor family and didn’t have enough money for lamp oil to study at night. One night, he saw fireflies (萤火虫) outside his house and came up with an idea. He caught some fireflies in a cloth bag and hung the bag up as a lamp. It is said that he spent all of his summer nights reading like this. Another child named Sun Kang also loved reading. One night during winter, Sun used up all his lamp oil and couldn’t study at night. When he woke up at night, he saw the snow reflecting (反射) the moonlight outside his house. “Oh, I can use the reflected light to read!” he thought. He took out his books and read, even though he was freezing cold. Both of the kids later became successful government officials (政府官员). People were moved because of their hard-working spirit (精神) and turned their stories into the Chinese idiom (成语) nangying yingxue. Present Xi Jinping once told these stories at the Party School of the CPC Central Committee (中共中央党校). He talked about nangying yingxue, xuanliang cigu and zaobi touguang. All of these stories encourage people to study hard even though they will meet difficulties. Xi hopes that government officials can keep this hard-working spirit in mind. All of us can learn a lot from these stories. Although they don’t take place in modern times, they are just like the light of fireflies—they light up the road to knowledge. 36. Why did Che Yin collect fireflies? A. Because fireflies are bright enough for him to read. B. Because he wanted to do an experiment. C. Because he wanted to play with them for fun. D. Because he wanted to show them to his friends. 37. What did Che Yin and Sun Kang have in common? A. They liked nature and animals. B. They were rich and they liked to read. C. They worked very hard and became successful. D. They became teachers. 38. How many idioms are mentioned in the passage? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 39. What is the purpose of President Xi Jinping to talk about the stories? A. He hopes that government officials can read more books. B. He hopes that government officials can keep the hard-working spirit in mind. C. He hopes that more people can become government officials. D. He hopes that all people can learn more knowledge. 40. What is the best title for the passage? A. Read More and Become Successful B. Work Hard at Night C. Road to Knowledge D. Old Stories, Hard-working Spirits C Though oceans cover about 71 percent of the earth’s surface, there’s still a lot we don’t know about them. Only about 20 percent of the seafloor has been mapped, and the remaining 80 percent is still a secret to us. Some scientists even think that 91 percent of sea animals have yet to be discovered. So why do we know so little about the deep sea? Well, getting to those depths is very difficult and requires high technology that simply didn’t come into being for most of human history. The first navigable submarine (可驾驶的潜水艇), for example, was built in 1620, and it couldn’t go more than five meters below the surface. In fact, for a long time many scientists didn’t even think that there could be any life at depths greater than 550 meters and didn’t see much need to explore (探索) the deep sea. However, this changed in 1862 when life was discovered as far down as 945 meters below sea level with the help of a digging machine. Ten years later, around 4, 700 species (物种) unknown before from the ocean floor were discovered. Since then, high technology has been developed to help explore the deep sea, including satellites. But why is deep-sea exploration still so difficult? Well, at greater depths it is freezing (极冷的), everything is completely dark, and the pressure can be over 1, 000 times greater than that on the surface. Though we have the difficulties, it’s important that we understand the seas. They help control the earth’s temperature and produce half of the oxygen (O2) in the air. They can also provide us with information about climate change. Our future depends on learning more about our oceans, and it is possible for us to really understand what is ongoing below the surface. 41. Why are some numbers listed in Paragraph 1? A. To introduce how important oceans are. B. To discuss why sea animals have yet to be found out. C. To explain that oceans cover a large area of the earth. D. To show that we have only a little understanding of oceans. 42. What caused the change of exploration into the deep sea? A. High technology. B. Unknown species. C. A pleasant environment. D. Valuable information. 43. What does the underlined word “They” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Sea animals. B. The seas. C. The satellites. D. Many scientists. 44. What can we learn from the text? A. It is difficult to build a navigable submarine. B. The seas have a strong influence on our future. C. The seas have no lives at a depth of 550 meters. D. It is easier to go into the deep sea than we think. 45. What could be the best title of the text? A. Hidden Treasures in Deep Sea B. Unlocked Secrets of Deep Sea C. Deep-Sea Exploration: Into the Freezing Depths D. Deep-Sea Exploration: The Past and the Future 五、阅读填空（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） 根据短文的内容，从所给的选项中选出能够填入短文空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.
