You can possibly see the biggest Bangkok crowd lines and streets with water guns and powder (粉), ready to wash away all the bad things of the past year. The national party is in true Thai style... Crazy If you are looking for a place to experience water everywhere with loud music and lots of festival activities for free, head over to Songkran and walk down the street. You can go to some side streets where it’s quieter, with restaurants and bars still celebrating the festival. Won’t go again, but worth seeing it. SO MUCH FUN! I’m from India and Holi is a similar festival in my country, but I never imagined that a whole country can break into a crazy water fight with such great excitement! Complete madness During the festival, water is everywhere, and there are all kinds of water guns. The place gets busier and I was worried about safety. With so many people on the streets, the government needs to think about how to help people play happily but also safely. 1. Why is the Songkran Festival mainly celebrated? A. To honor the King of Thailand. B. To welcome the rainy season. C. To interest the tourists in Thailand. D. To celebrate the traditional Thai New Year. 2.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文摘选旅游网站上关于泰国宋干节（泼水节）的介绍与三条游客评论，介绍宋干节是泰国传统新年，同时展示不同游客的游玩感受。 【1题详解】 根据左侧“About Songkran Festival”板块第一句“Songkran Festival is one of Thailand’s most important festivals, which is celebrated for their traditional new year.”可知，人们庆祝宋干节是为了欢度泰国传统新年。 【2题详解】 根据Ananya S的评论“I’m from India and Holi is a similar festival in my country, but I never imagined that a whole country can break into a crazy water fight with such great excitement!”可知，印度的洒红节只是相似节日，而宋干节是全国范围的狂欢，对比可知宋干节的庆祝覆盖全国。 【3题详解】 根据gordonj258的评论“The place gets busier and I was worried about safety. With so many people on the streets...”可知，街上人流量极大、十分拥挤，因此他担心安全问题。 B Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, especially their parents, don’t know them as well as their friends do. In a large family, it is quite common for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they only go to their friends for ideas. Sometimes cousins live far away, so friends become the ready-made “brothers” and “sisters” who share daily jokes and secrets. It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a circle of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking to each other on the phone, texting messages late into the night or playing online games together. This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because they can not discuss something difficult — such as first love, bad marks, or body changes — with their family members. Friends offer quick comfort and the feeling of being understood. Parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them, hoping to keep them away from trouble. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends by planning extra lessons or family trips at the very hour of the planned get-together. The question of “choice” is an interesting one. Have you ever thought of the following questions? Who chooses your friends? Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you? Have you got a good friend your parents don’t like? Your answers are welcome. 4. Why do teenagers think friends are the most important people? A. They believe friends know them better. B. They think parents have too many children. C. They don’t like to live with their cousins. D. They like to know about others’ secrets. 5. What can we infer (推断) from paragraph 2? A. Talking online is the safest way for teenagers to communicate. B. Without friends, teenagers might keep difficult feelings to themselves. C. Teenagers with no friends often discuss difficult topics with cousins. D. Late-night texting is one main reason why friendship matters so much. 6. What does the underlined word “extra” probably mean? A. difficult, hard to pass B. expensive, high-priced C. interesting, full of fun D. added, more than usual 7. What does the writer want to tell readers by “Your answers are welcome.”? A. Your answers are always right. B. You can give us all the right answers. C. You are welcome to have a discussion with us. D. You have got an idea, so your answers are welcome. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述青少年十分看重朋友，说明朋友对青少年成长的重要意义，同时提及部分家长会干预孩子交友，文末抛出相关问题邀请读者分享看法。 【4题详解】 原文第一段提到“They believe that their family members, especially their parents, don’t know them as well as their friends do”，说明了青少年认为朋友比家人更了解自己，所以觉得朋友是生命中最重要的人。 【5题详解】 原文第二段提到“they can not discuss something difficult — such as first love, bad marks, or body changes — with their family members. Friends offer quick comfort and the feeling of being understood”，说明了青少年难以和家人倾诉烦心事，若没有朋友，他们可能会独自压抑这些复杂情绪。 【6题详解】 原文第三段提到“Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends by planning extra lessons or family trips at the very hour of the planned get-together”，家长为打断孩子和朋友的聚会安排更多课程，由此推断“extra”意为额外的、超出平常的。 【7题详解】 文章末尾抛出三个关于交友的问题后写下“Your answers are welcome.”，说明了作者希望读者参与进来，一起讨论这些交友相关问题。 C Most people think that the capital of the movie world is Hollywood in the United States. However, the true movie capital is Mumbai in India. Mumbai was once called Bombay, and the movie business there is often called “Bollywood.” Bollywood makes twice as many films each year as Hollywood—more than 1,000 films a year. The films from Bollywood are very different from those made by Hollywood companies. For one thing, Bollywood films are much longer than most Hollywood films. Most Bollywood films are over three hours long and include singing, dancing, action, excitement, mystery, and love stories (but usually no kissing). Because Bollywood films have so many different parts, this style of film is sometimes called a “masala” film—“masala” is an Indian word for a mix of spices (香辛料). Another big difference between Bollywood and Hollywood films is how the films are made. It takes much longer to create a film in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact, filming may start on a Bollywood film before the story is even finished. The director and writers can create the story as the film is being made. Sometimes they will even write the story by hand instead of taking time to type it. Bollywood actors are very famous, and some are in such high need that they may work on several films at the same time. They may even film scenes for different films on the same day using the same costumes (服装) and backgrounds. Since most Bollywood films use the same kind of story, filming scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors or directors. This also helps keep the price of Bollywood films lower than the price of Hollywood films. The typical Bollywood film, with a cost of about two million U. S. dollars, seems very cheap compared to the typical cost of nearly 70 million U.S.dollars for a Hollywood film! 8. How many films are made by Hollywood each year according to the passage? A. About 500. B. Over 1000. C. 1,500 or so. D. Around 2000. 9. Why are some Bollywood films called “masala” films? A. They are usually about Indian food and cooking. B. They mix something from different styles of movies. C. They are much longer than Hollywood movies. D. They are only made in the city of Mumbai. 10. One of the reasons Bollywood movies are cheap to make is ________. A. they are shorter than Hollywood movies B. the movies do not use famous actors C. the stories are written by hand D. some things are reused in different movies 11. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. Hollywood is no longer the capital of the movie world. B. Indian films are the most popular in the world. C. There are many famous directors in Bollywood. D. Bollywood makes films in a different way from Hollywood. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了印度宝莱坞（Bollywood）与美国好莱坞（Hollywood）电影产业的区别，包括产量、风格、制作方式及成本等方面。 【8题详解】 根据第一段中“Bollywood makes twice as many films each year as Hollywood — more than 1,000 films a year.（宝莱坞每年制作的电影是好莱坞的两倍——每年超过1000部）”可知，宝莱坞产量超过1000部且是好莱坞的两倍，推算出好莱坞每年制作500部左右。 【9题详解】 根据第二段中“Because Bollywood films have so many different parts, this style of film is sometimes called a“masala”film — “masala”is an Indian word for a mix of spices.（因为宝莱坞电影有很多不同的部分，这种风格的电影有时被称为“masala”电影——“masala”是印度语中混合香料的意思）”可知，之所以叫“masala”是因为它们混合了不同风格的元素。 【10题详解】 根据第四段中“They may even film scenes for different films on the same day using the same costumes and backgrounds... This also helps keep the price of Bollywood films lower...（他们甚至可以在同一天为不同的电影拍摄场景，使用相同的服装和背景……这也有助于保持宝莱坞电影的价格较低……）”可知，在不同电影中重复使用服装、背景等物品是成本低的原因之一。 【11题详解】 通读全文可知，文章第一段引出宝莱坞，第二段讲述影片风格不同，第三段讲述制作过程不同，第四段讲述演员及成本不同。整篇文章主要讲述了宝莱坞制作电影的方式与好莱坞不同。 D The first clear written signs of a soccer-like game come from China. In the second and third centuries B.C., Chinese soldiers played a game in which they needed to kick a ball into a small net. Historians think the game was a skill-building exercise for the soldiers. In old Greece and Rome, teams of up to 27 players played a soccer-like game. In Britain hundreds of years later, during the thirteenth century A.D., whole villages played against each other. With hundreds of people on the field, these games were long and hard. Kicking, hitting with hands, and biting were common and allowed. In 1331, English King Edward III passed a law to try to put a stop to the popular but rude game. One hundred years later, the king of Scotland also spoke against it. Queen Elizabeth I, during the late 1500s, passed a law that called for a week of jail (监狱) for anyone caught playing “football,” the name used for soccer then. But the game could not be stopped. Two hundred and fifty years later, people in Britain were still playing a game we now know as soccer. A well-known English college, Eton, developed a set of rules in 1815. Many other schools soon agreed to use the same rules and played games among themselves. Finally, 50 years later, a formal association (联盟) was set up to watch over the playing of the game and its rules. In 1869, a new rule against touching the ball with the hands changed the game into the sport of soccer that is wildly popular all around the world. 12. Where was the earliest soccer game played in China? A. On the streets. B. In the fields. C. In the army. D. At schools. 13. What was the kings and queen’s attitude toward the game between the 14th and 16th centuries? A. They thought the game helped train future soldiers. B. They used the game to keep people in good health. C. They believed the game would increase trade income. D. They regarded the game as too wild to be acceptable. 14. What happened to soccer in Britain in 1815? A. Colleges played with the same rules. B. Soccer games were started. C. “Soccer” is used instead of “football”. D. Players were set free from jails. 15. What change did the 1869 rule bring to the game? A. It cut down the number of players to 27. B. It didn’t let players use their hands on the ball. C. It required all villages to join one formal club. D. It shortened the time of the game to ninety minutes. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍类足球运动的起源，依次讲述中国古代军中蹴鞠、古希腊罗马及英国早期粗野球类活动，再说明欧洲王室曾明令禁止这项运动，最后讲解英国逐步统一规则、完善现代足球的发展历程。 【12题详解】 原文第一段提到“In the second and third centuries B.C., Chinese soldiers played a game in which they needed to kick a ball into a small net. Historians think the game was a skill-building exercise for the soldiers”，说明了中国最早的类足球游戏是士兵在军队中开展的练兵活动。 【13题详解】 原文第三段提到“English King Edward III passed a law to try to put a stop to the popular but rude game... Queen Elizabeth I... passed a law that called for a week of jail for anyone caught playing ‘football’”，说明了14至16世纪的君主们认为这项运动过于粗野，无法被接受。 【14题详解】 原文第四段提到“A well-known English college, Eton, developed a set of rules in 1815. Many other schools soon agreed to use the same rules and played games among themselves”，说明了1815年英国各院校统一使用同一套规则开展球类比赛。 【15题详解】 原文第四段提到“In 1869, a new rule against touching the ball with the hands changed the game into the sport of soccer that is wildly popular all around the world”，说明了1869年出台的新规禁止球员用手触碰足球。 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Scientists say that hobbies can make kids smarter, healthier and even more successful when they grow up.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述作者两次因不懂礼仪闹出尴尬乌龙的经历，借此提醒人们与人交流时要认真倾听、三思而后言。 【21题详解】 句意：事实上，在面试开始时握一次三秒钟的手，面试结束后再握一次手是很有礼貌的。 此处要表达“当面试开始时”的时间逻辑，when引导时间状语从句符合语境，what、that、who 均无法适配此处的从句逻辑。 【22题详解】 句意：面试结束后，我已经走出经理的房间，这时才意识到自己忘了握手道谢。 走出房间后才发觉自己遗漏了礼仪环节，realized“意识到”贴合场景。 【23题详解】 句意：于是我转身回到他的办公室，径直走到他面前，主动伸出手。 此处是作者主动向对方递出握手的手，offered my hand就是“伸出手（要握手）”的意思。 【24题详解】 句意：我感到十分尴尬。 做出折返伸手握手的失礼举动，作者的感受是尴尬难堪，embarrassed“尴尬的”符合语境。 【25题详解】 句意：餐桌上摆着十多种我以前从未尝过的特色菜肴。 后文提到作者误把烹饪工具当成菜品，对应餐桌上的菜品，dishes“菜肴”符合。 【26题详解】 句意：除了“平底锅”之外，她讲的大部分内容我都听不懂，我也没太留意她所说的话。 固定搭配pay attention to表示“留意、注意”，是固定短语搭配。 【27题详解】 句意：晚宴结束后，有人问我最喜欢哪道菜。 结合后文作者回答自己喜欢“Pan Tow”，此处是询问最喜爱的菜品，enjoyed“喜欢、享受”符合语境。 【28题详解】 句意：“我最喜欢平底锅！”我立刻回答道。 对应前文别人的提问，此处是作者给出回应，replied符合语境。 【29题详解】 句意：我的脸涨得通红。 当众闹了乌龙，尴尬到脸颊发烫，hot用来形容脸红发烫的状态。 【30题详解】 句意：记住与人交谈时要认真倾听，说话前要三思。 说话前先多想两遍，固定搭配think twice表示“三思、反复考虑”，贴合全文总结的行事准则。 第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Do you know yourself really well?

It’s a good way ____39____ (ask) questions, but ask yourself questions that start with “what” instead of “why”. For example, if you don’t understand why you keep ____40____ (argue) with a friend, ask yourself what you disagree on instead of why your friend argues with you. Learning to be more self-aware is a skill and you learn it as you grow. So be brave and try out new things! 【答案】31. are asked 32. but 33. clearly 34. because 35. allows 36. your 37. said 38. healthier 39. to ask 40. arguing 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了自我意识的概念以及拥有自我意识的重要性。 【31题详解】 句意：如果让你向别人描述你自己，你会说什么？If引导的条件状语从句遵循“主将从现”原则，从句的时态是一般现在时。主语you是动作ask的承受者，所以用一般现在时的被动语态are asked。 【32题详解】 句意：从外面看自己可能很难，但知道自己是谁可以帮助你更好地理解自己的感受。“It can be difficult to see yourself from the outside”与“knowing who you are can help you understand inside feelings better”构成转折关系，用but连接。 【33题详解】 句意：如果你有自知之明，你就能看清自己。此处修饰动词see。需用clear的副词形式clearly。 【34题详解】 句意：你可能也知道你喜欢弹钢琴是因为你擅长它，音乐让你快乐，或者你喜欢独自看电视，因为这能帮助你放松。“it helps you relax”是“you like watching TV on your own”的原因，此处需because引导原因状语从句。 【35题详解】 句意：了解你喜欢或不喜欢什么，擅长什么或觉得困难的是什么，有助于你更好地做出关于友谊、学业等方面的决定。动名词短语“Knowing what you like or dislike, what you are good at or what you find difficult ”作主语，谓语动词allow需用第三人称单数形式allows。 【36题详解】 句意：你学会更加信任自己的感受，这有助于增强自信。one’s own意为“某人自己的”，固定搭配，此处需用you的形容词性物主代词your。 【37题详解】 句意：去年，世界卫生组织表示，自我认知是帮助年轻人过上更幸福、更健康生活的十大重要生活技能之一。空处作谓语，“Last year”为一般过去时的标志词，此处需填say的过去式said。 【38题详解】 句意：去年，世界卫生组织表示，自我认知是帮助年轻人过上更幸福、更健康生活的十大重要生活技能之一。此处与happier并列作定语，修饰名词lives，形式需保持一致，故此处需用health对应的形容词的比较级healthier。 【39题详解】 句意：这是一个提出问题的好方法，但要问自己以“什么”开头的问题，而不是“为什么”。a good way to do sth.意为“一个做某事的好方法”，此处需填动词ask的不定式to ask。 【40题详解】 句意：例如，如果你不明白自己为何总是与朋友争吵，不妨问问自己，你们究竟在什么方面意见不合，而不是去追问对方为何与你争执。keep doing sth.意为“一直做某事”，故此处需填argue的动名词形式arguing。 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，完成短文后的问题。 The brush pen, one of the “Four Treasures of the Study”, was invented thousands of years ago. It is said that Meng Tian, a general (将军) of the Qin, improved the pen. When Meng was leading an army to fight against Chu, he had to report the situation to his king in time. But his pen was too hard and caused him much trouble, so he was thinking of ways to improve it. One day after hunting, Meng made his way home with some wild rabbits on horseback. Fat and heavy, one rabbit’s tail left a long trail (踪迹) on the ground. Suddenly, Meng Tian got the idea from the rabbit’s tail. “If I tie the rabbit’s hair to a stick, would it be easy to write with?” On arriving home, he tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit’s hair was too smooth to write well and wasted a lot of cloth. Meng was so disappointed that he threw away his “invention” into a stone hole in the yard. However, Meng never gave up and kept trying all the time. A few rainy days later, he happened to find his “invention” fatter in a stone hole. He picked it up with hope. The brush worked beautifully on cloth. It turned out that the special water had cleaned the oil from the hair. Meng succeeded at last. Thanks to Meng, the brush pen is playing a key role in Chinese culture. Today, students are taught to use the brush pens in school. It makes their life more colorful and helps them better understand Chinese culture. 41.

You can possibly see the biggest Bangkok crowd lines and streets with water guns and powder (粉), ready to wash away all the bad things of the past year. The national party is in true Thai style... Crazy If you are looking for a place to experience water everywhere with loud music and lots of festival activities for free, head over to Songkran and walk down the street. You can go to some side streets where it’s quieter, with restaurants and bars still celebrating the festival. Won’t go again, but worth seeing it. SO MUCH FUN! I’m from India and Holi is a similar festival in my country, but I never imagined that a whole country can break into a crazy water fight with such great excitement! Complete madness During the festival, water is everywhere, and there are all kinds of water guns. The place gets busier and I was worried about safety. With so many people on the streets, the government needs to think about how to help people play happily but also safely. 1. Why is the Songkran Festival mainly celebrated? A. To honor the King of Thailand. B. To welcome the rainy season. C. To interest the tourists in Thailand. D. To celebrate the traditional Thai New Year. 2.

Because the streets are too crowded. C. Because people use guns and powder. D. Because there are some unhappy people B Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, especially their parents, don’t know them as well as their friends do. In a large family, it is quite common for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they only go to their friends for ideas. Sometimes cousins live far away, so friends become the ready-made “brothers” and “sisters” who share daily jokes and secrets. It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a circle of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking to each other on the phone, texting messages late into the night or playing online games together. This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because they can not discuss something difficult — such as first love, bad marks, or body changes — with their family members. Friends offer quick comfort and the feeling of being understood. Parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them, hoping to keep them away from trouble. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends by planning extra lessons or family trips at the very hour of the planned get-together. The question of “choice” is an interesting one. Have you ever thought of the following questions? Who chooses your friends? Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you? Have you got a good friend your parents don’t like? Your answers are welcome. 4. Why do teenagers think friends are the most important people? A. They believe friends know them better. B. They think parents have too many children. C. They don’t like to live with their cousins. D. They like to know about others’ secrets. 5. What can we infer (推断) from paragraph 2? A. Talking online is the safest way for teenagers to communicate. B. Without friends, teenagers might keep difficult feelings to themselves. C. Teenagers with no friends often discuss difficult topics with cousins. D. Late-night texting is one main reason why friendship matters so much. 6. What does the underlined word “extra” probably mean? A. difficult, hard to pass B. expensive, high-priced C. interesting, full of fun D. added, more than usual 7. What does the writer want to tell readers by “Your answers are welcome.”? A. Your answers are always right. B. You can give us all the right answers. C. You are welcome to have a discussion with us. D. You have got an idea, so your answers are welcome. C Most people think that the capital of the movie world is Hollywood in the United States. However, the true movie capital is Mumbai in India. Mumbai was once called Bombay, and the movie business there is often called “Bollywood.” Bollywood makes twice as many films each year as Hollywood—more than 1,000 films a year. The films from Bollywood are very different from those made by Hollywood companies. For one thing, Bollywood films are much longer than most Hollywood films. Most Bollywood films are over three hours long and include singing, dancing, action, excitement, mystery, and love stories (but usually no kissing). Because Bollywood films have so many different parts, this style of film is sometimes called a “masala” film—“masala” is an Indian word for a mix of spices (香辛料). Another big difference between Bollywood and Hollywood films is how the films are made. It takes much longer to create a film in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact, filming may start on a Bollywood film before the story is even finished. The director and writers can create the story as the film is being made. Sometimes they will even write the story by hand instead of taking time to type it. Bollywood actors are very famous, and some are in such high need that they may work on several films at the same time. They may even film scenes for different films on the same day using the same costumes (服装) and backgrounds. Since most Bollywood films use the same kind of story, filming scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors or directors. This also helps keep the price of Bollywood films lower than the price of Hollywood films. The typical Bollywood film, with a cost of about two million U. S. dollars, seems very cheap compared to the typical cost of nearly 70 million U.S.dollars for a Hollywood film! 8. How many films are made by Hollywood each year according to the passage? A. About 500. B. Over 1000. C. 1,500 or so. D. Around 2000. 9. Why are some Bollywood films called “masala” films? A. They are usually about Indian food and cooking. B. They mix something from different styles of movies. C. They are much longer than Hollywood movies. D. They are only made in the city of Mumbai. 10. One of the reasons Bollywood movies are cheap to make is ________. A. they are shorter than Hollywood movies B. the movies do not use famous actors C. the stories are written by hand D. some things are reused in different movies 11. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. Hollywood is no longer the capital of the movie world. B. Indian films are the most popular in the world. C. There are many famous directors in Bollywood. D. Bollywood makes films in a different way from Hollywood. D The first clear written signs of a soccer-like game come from China. In the second and third centuries B.C., Chinese soldiers played a game in which they needed to kick a ball into a small net. Historians think the game was a skill-building exercise for the soldiers. In old Greece and Rome, teams of up to 27 players played a soccer-like game. In Britain hundreds of years later, during the thirteenth century A.D., whole villages played against each other. With hundreds of people on the field, these games were long and hard. Kicking, hitting with hands, and biting were common and allowed. In 1331, English King Edward III passed a law to try to put a stop to the popular but rude game. One hundred years later, the king of Scotland also spoke against it. Queen Elizabeth I, during the late 1500s, passed a law that called for a week of jail (监狱) for anyone caught playing “football,” the name used for soccer then. But the game could not be stopped. Two hundred and fifty years later, people in Britain were still playing a game we now know as soccer. A well-known English college, Eton, developed a set of rules in 1815. Many other schools soon agreed to use the same rules and played games among themselves. Finally, 50 years later, a formal association (联盟) was set up to watch over the playing of the game and its rules. In 1869, a new rule against touching the ball with the hands changed the game into the sport of soccer that is wildly popular all around the world. 12. Where was the earliest soccer game played in China? A. On the streets. B. In the fields. C. In the army. D. At schools. 13. What was the kings and queen’s attitude toward the game between the 14th and 16th centuries? A. They thought the game helped train future soldiers. B. They used the game to keep people in good health. C. They believed the game would increase trade income. D. They regarded the game as too wild to be acceptable. 14. What happened to soccer in Britain in 1815? A. Colleges played with the same rules. B. Soccer games were started. C. “Soccer” is used instead of “football”. D. Players were set free from jails. 15. What change did the 1869 rule bring to the game? A. It cut down the number of players to 27. B. It didn’t let players use their hands on the ball. C. It required all villages to join one formal club. D. It shortened the time of the game to ninety minutes. 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Scientists say that hobbies can make kids smarter, healthier and even more successful when they grow up.

It is said that Meng Tian, a general (将军) of the Qin, improved the pen. When Meng was leading an army to fight against Chu, he had to report the situation to his king in time. But his pen was too hard and caused him much trouble, so he was thinking of ways to improve it. One day after hunting, Meng made his way home with some wild rabbits on horseback. Fat and heavy, one rabbit’s tail left a long trail (踪迹) on the ground. Suddenly, Meng Tian got the idea from the rabbit’s tail. “If I tie the rabbit’s hair to a stick, would it be easy to write with?” On arriving home, he tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit’s hair was too smooth to write well and wasted a lot of cloth. Meng was so disappointed that he threw away his “invention” into a stone hole in the yard. However, Meng never gave up and kept trying all the time. A few rainy days later, he happened to find his “invention” fatter in a stone hole. He picked it up with hope. The brush worked beautifully on cloth. It turned out that the special water had cleaned the oil from the hair. Meng succeeded at last. Thanks to Meng, the brush pen is playing a key role in Chinese culture. Today, students are taught to use the brush pens in school. It makes their life more colorful and helps them better understand Chinese culture. 41. Why did Meng Tian want to improve his pen? ______________________________________________________________________________________ 42. When did Meng Tian get the idea from the rabbit’s tail? ______________________________________________________________________________________ 43.
