She quickly learned how to sew and really enjoyed it. One day, Malia went to a market. She saw many people with their dogs and cats. An idea came to her! “Why not make cute scarfs for dogs and cats to help animal shelters (收容所)?” she thought. With help from her grandmother, Malia turned a corner of her home into a working room. There, she and her grandmother worked together to make lots of colourful scarfs. Then, Malia sold her scarfs at the market. The scarfs cost between $3 and $7.

An “I” person is usually shy while an “E” person is usually outgoing. All of the results have four letters (字母), and there are 16 results in all. Many people are very interested in the test now. Gao Yanyi, a middle school student thinks that the MBTI test can help her find friends with similar MBTI results. “People want to learn more about themselves,” Guo Yongyu, an expert said. “That helps them relax.” However, there are also some problems. Ma Ruina, from Beijing No.4 Middle School, took the test once. He doesn’t want to use it again. “Everyone is different, and it’s not right to put people into simple groups,” he says. The MBTI personality test may show something you don’t know about yourself. But those four letters of yours don’t decide who you are. 46. What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A. MBTI test is popular. B. There are 4 results in the MBTI test. C. MBTI test is a subject test. D. “I” people are more outgoing than “E” people. 47. What does Gao Yanyi use the MBTI test to do? A. To know about herself. B. To choose a job. C. To find friends. D. To relax herself. 48. What is the purpose (目的) of the last paragraph? A. To tell people not to believe the test. B. To ask people not to take the result seriously. C. To show people the MBTI test is not good. D. To connect the results with personality. E Do you know cacti (仙人掌)? They are one of the most special plants. They appeared 40 million years ago. They mainly grow in deserts (沙漠). Cacti come in many shapes and sizes. Some are as small as a tennis ball, while others can grow up to 20 meters tall. Their flowers are usually bright — pink, yellow, or red. Unlike most plants, they have thick stems (茎) instead of large leaves. These stems can keep water inside. People in deserts use cacti in different ways. Some eat the fruit of certain cacti, because it is sweet and juicy. If there is a two-meter-tall cactus, it can provide enough water for a person for several days. Others use the stems to make medicine. People can cut a part of the cactus to get clean water. The cactus is rich in vitamins. And it is good for people’s health. But cacti are also in danger because of over-collecting and habitat loss. 49. Which climate do cacti like? A. Cold. B. Cool. C. Dry. D. Wet. 50. What helps cacti store water? A. Thick stems. B. Different sizes. C. Large leaves. D. Bright flowers. 51. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 3? A. The stem of cacti. B. The medicine. C. The desert. D. The fruit of cacti. 52.

Fruit of Cacti 第二节 F 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（注意每小题的词数要求）。 Long ago in ancient China, there was a great musician (音乐家) named Yu Boya. He was really good at playing the guqin. However, Boya was unhappy because few people could truly understand his music. One day, Boya played the guqin by a river, and a farmer passed by. He was Zhong Ziqi. Ziqi stopped and listened to the music carefully, “What wonderful music!” Boya looked at the farmer and said, “Do you know what the music is about?” “When you played high notes, I saw eagles flying in the sky. When the notes turned low, I saw a strong river rushing,” Ziqi said. It surprised Boya. For years, he looked for a zhiyin but failed (失败). Here, he finally found someone who could understand his music. The two became close friends. A sad thing happened. Zhong Ziqi got sick and died.
