It wasn’t a big job — just putting things on shelves and helping customers. But I took it ____11____. My parents taught me that no job was too ____12____ to do well. One rainy Thursday, Mr. Patterson, the owner, called me into his office. He told me he needed to step out and asked me to watch the store.

My first ____16____ was that she would come back. So I put it under the counter and waited. Five minutes passed. Then ten, twenty. She didn’t come back. I began to think hard. That was a lot of money. I could use it to buy the new shoes I wanted. No one would know. The store had no cameras. It would be so easy to ____17____ it. But another voice inside me whispered, “You know.” I stood there, wondering what to do.

Let’s explore some! An incense stick The most common way to measure time in ancient China was by burning incense sticks called “一炷香” in Chinese. It worked day and night and was easy to carry and simple to make. An incense stick usually took about half an hour to burn. A cup of tea “一盏茶” was about 15 minutes long. The teacup came with a lid and a small plate so people could drink slowly and keep tea leaves out of their mouths. The time it took for a cup of tea to be served and cooled down changed with the weather. In summer, cooling the tea took about 15 minutes, while in winter, it was faster — sometimes just 10 minutes. A pot of wine Finishing a pot of wine took about one shichen, which equaled two hours in modern time. A meal A meal was about half a shichen long. But in modern times, people usually spend around half an hour for a meal. A bag of cigarettes A bag of cigarettes was about 5-10 minutes long. In the past, people used handmade smoking pipes. Here’s how it worked: They took their pipe, filled it with tobacco from a bag, lit it up, took a few breaths of smoke and then threw the burnt tobacco away. The process took about 5-10 minutes. 26. According to the text, which was the most common way to measure time in ancient China? A. An incense stick. B. A cup of tea. C. A pot of wine. D. A meal. 27. Which of the following sentences is TRUE according to the text? A. An incense stick usually took about one hour to burn. B. A pot of wine took about two hours in modern times. C. A meal in ancient times was shorter than a meal today. D. A bag of cigarettes took about 15 minutes to finish. 28. Where can you most probably find the text? A. In a cookbook. B. In a travel guidebook. C. In a science fiction novel. D. In a history magazine. B Long long ago, there was a king who lost his leg and eye during a war. Even with these problems, his cleverness and kindness made him a great king in his kingdom. One day, the king was walking through the palace hallway and saw the portraits (肖像) of his ancestors (祖先) on the walls. Thinking that one day his children would admire his portrait as well, he really wanted to have it painted well. However, he wasn’t sure how his painting would turn out because of his physical problems. So he invited a group of famous painters to the palace, offering a great deal of money to the artist who could create a beautiful portrait for him. All the painters began to wonder how to paint the king. They soon found that it was an impossible task, fearing that if the portrait did not meet the king’s expectations, they would get punished. So, one by one, they started making excuses and politely refused. Then, one painter raised his hand and said that he wanted to give it a try. The king agreed. The painter started drawing and coloring the portrait carefully in a quiet room. After some time, it was finally completed! All the other painters in the palace couldn’t wait to see what it would look like. When the painter presented the portrait, everyone, including the king, was amazed. The painter made a portrait in which the king was sitting on a horse, showing the one-leg side, holding his bow (弓) and aiming the arrow (箭) with his one eye closed. The king was very pleased to see this beautiful portrait, and gave the painter a lot of money as he promised. 29. What happened to the king in the war? A. He lost his palace. B. He lost his army. C. He lost his leg and eye. D. He lost a lot of money. 30. Why did the king want a portrait? A. He wanted to sell it for money. B. He wanted to show it to other kings. C. He wanted to decorate his bedroom. D. He wanted his children to admire it. 31. How did the king feel when he saw the final portrait? A. Satisfied. B. Worried. C. Angry. D. Nervous. 32. What can we learn from the painter? A. We should paint every picture carefully. B. We should ask for much more money. C. We should deal with problems wisely. D. We should always refuse difficult tasks. C The big gate opened, and they all went through into a high green room. And there stood a little man. All his clothes were green. His face, too, was green, and he carried a big green box. “What do you want in the Emerald City?” he asked them. “We want to see the Great Oz,” said Dorothy. … “Oz will send for one of you in the morning.” The next morning, after breakfast, the soldier took Dorothy and Toto to the throne room, with a high roof and big, bright emeralds（翡翠）everywhere. In the middle of the room was a tall green throne. On it was a great Head, without arms or legs. The eyes looked at Dorothy, the mouth opened, and a voice said, “I am Oz the Great and Terrible. Who are you, and what do you want?” “I am Dorothy,” said the child in a small voice. “I need help from you.” The eyes looked at her for a full minute. Then the voice said, “Where did you get those silver shoes?” “From the Wicked Witch of the East.” “Where did you get that shining mark on your face?” “This is the kiss of the Witch of the North. She sent me to you.” Then Oz asked, “What do you want me to do?” “Please send me back to Kansas, to Aunt Em and Uncle Henry.” “Why do you ask me? You were strong enough to kill the Wicked Witch of the East,” said Oz. “I didn’t,” said Dorothy. “My house fell on her.” “Well,” said Oz. “in this country, everybody must pay for things. Kill the Wicked Witch of the West for me. Then you can go back to Kansas.” — Adapted from The Wizard of Oz 33. Why did Dorothy go to the Emerald City? A. To ask Oz for help. B. To get silver shoes.

D It’s clear that the world will be quite different in the year 2045. But what changes might we see? It’s pretty likely that robots and AI technology will bring great changes to jobs. Also, self-driving and flying cars will come into our daily life, making our lives easier. Scientists have even bigger ideas in a video called To the Future. Dr. Juraz believes we might be able to control things around us simply with our thoughts. “Imagine that you could use simple devices to connect to your mind and control things around you simply by thinking about it.” Juraz says. According to him, scientists are working on the technologies that can make this happen. They’ve made some progress already. The future has more than just that. Steven says that we’ll be able to create very strong but light things. New materials will change the way we build everything from cars to spacecraft. Imagine cars are safer, more energy-saving, and able to carry heavier things. Lighter spacecraft could mean great cuts in the cost and make more exploration goals possible. Panny believes that our relationship with machines will change. She says, “I think one day we can tell a machine what to do with just a button or a few simple words.” For example, pilots have to follow many steps for a plane to take off. But in 2045, according to Panny, “Prepare for taking off,” and the computer will do the rest. Or maybe, we won’t even need pilots. These are just a few of the many possible changes that 2045 might bring. It makes us wonder what other surprises the future holds. Will there be new forms of energy that change our lives? 37. What writing method does the writer use in Paragraph 4 when talking about Panny’s ideas? A. Using famous sayings. B. Making comparisons. C. Listing numbers. D. Giving examples. 38. Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? A. B. C. D. 39. Which of the following ideas is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. People may control things with their thoughts. B. Machines will follow simple human commands. C. New energy forms will solve pollution problems. D. New materials will be used in cars and spacecraft. 40. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. A Video About Famous Scientists B. Possible Changes in the World by 2045 C. The Importance of New Materials and AI D. Different Opinions on Science Development Ⅳ.信息还原（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。 Wooden buildings were the mainstay (主流) of traditional Chinese buildings. Wood was preferred for most traditional buildings, from the halls of the Forbidden City to common houses. But why? ____41____ Here are the main reasons why wooden buildings were more popular in China up until the modern period. ____42____ The first reason that Chinese prefer wooden buildings is tied up with rich forests in Chinese culture’s birthplaces — the Yellow River and Yangtze River valleys. It is believed that wooden stilt houses (吊脚楼) have dated as far back as 7,000 years ago. ____43____ Wood remained the most popular building material even after quarrying (采石) and brick making developed. It has played an important role in life since the Spring and Autumn Period. As wood is the element that represents spring and life, it has the luckiest meaning for buildings. So many people built their houses out of wood. With a short growing period for most trees, there is still plenty of wood in China although China’s population grows.____44____ It is easy to get, process, and grow. Some dynasties ordered that each family should plant some trees to ensure the ready supply of China’s construction material. ____45____ As Chinese culture developed, its buildings became more complicated and beautiful. With the huge population growth, more people needed more houses, and only wood could keep up with demands (需求). The good workability of wood made traditional Chinese architecture’s building speed much faster than other cultures’ structures of stone. Decorations were also easier to form. A. And how was wood used? B. Wood was lighter than stone. C. Wood was easy to work with. D. Wood was a rich resource in early China. E. Wood remained the ideal building material. F. Ancient Chinese philosophy (哲学) believes that wood is lucky. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共30分） Ⅴ.词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面对话，从方框中选出恰当的单词或短语填空（每个单词或短语只能用一次）。 on time, think twice, used to, success, advice A: Hi, Lucy!

Since its start in 2000, the Huaxia Ancient Music Orchestra of the Henan Museum has reproduced and restored more than 1,000 ancient Chinese musical instruments. And it has discovered and performed (演奏) nearly 200 ancient Chinese songs. With instruments and scores (乐谱), most orchestras can perform at any time. However, the Huaxia Ancient Music Orchestra has to make its instruments first, as the ancient instruments they need are cultural treasures and cannot be used. Yuan Jiayin, a musician of the orchestra, often plays an ancient Chinese folk song with Se, an ancient traditional Chinese musical instrument. Because it has long been lost in China, Yuan has to do a lot to answer questions about the authenticity (真实性) of the instrument. “We try to explain everything about Se. We also explain how we restore and recreate the instrument,” Yuan said. Besides performing ancient Chinese music, the orchestra is also trying other music styles. For example, by playing pop music and classical music with ancient instruments, it tries to combine (结合) the ancient and the modern, as well as the Chinese and the Western. The orchestra performs twice a day and three times on holidays at the Henan Museum. It plays to a full house almost every time. “Culture cannot stay alive on its own. We must put in great effort and let more people learn about it — not only with their eyes, but also with their ears” said Huo Kun, head of the orchestra. 66. When did the Huaxia Ancient Music Orchestra of the Henan Museum start? ______________________________________________ 67. How many ancient Chinese songs has the orchestra discovered and performed? ______________________________________________ 68.
