Foxes with nine tails, animals with human faces and fish bodies, turtles with bird heads and snake tails, these magical animals are from Shan Hai Jing (The Classic of Mountains and Seas). This old book played an important role in the world and inspired (给予灵感) today’s works. Let’s learn more about it!
Shan Hai Jing took shape before the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC). Like an encyclopedia (百科全书), it writes about the world in the eyes of people at that time. The 30,000-word book records about 40 states, 550 mountains, 300 rivers, more than 100 people in history and 400 interesting animals.
Shan Hai Jing had a deep influence (影响) on the culture of mythology (神话学) in the world. It was taken to Japan during the Sui (581-618) and Tang (618-907) dynasties, or much earlier. In Japan, it was popular. People there once saw it as a guidebook for traveling in China. The book’s monsters (怪兽) were also popular.
Shan Hai Jing has inspired many works. Liu Siliang is a teacher at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. He said the book inspired the writing of Journey to the West and Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio《聊斋志异》. Pop culture works also borrow ideas from the book. Some of the animals in the book even go into movies, such as Zouwu, the star monster in Shan Hai Jing. It has a tiger-body with stripes of five colors. Its tail is longer than its body. It can travel 1,600 kilometers in a day. We can see it in the popular movie Fantastic Beasts II in 2021.
21.Why did the writer talk about the strange animals in Paragraph 1?
A.To answer some questions. B.To give some examples.
C.To interest the readers. D.To make a conclusion.
22.What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 2?
A.The encyclopedia. B.The mythology.
C.Shan Hai Jing. D.The monsters.
23.Which of the following can you find in Shan Hai Jing?
1. states 2. mountains 3. rivers 4. plants 5. art
A.1234 B.123 C.234 D.345
24.What happened when Shan Hai Jing arrived in Japan?
A.People liked the book except for the monsters.
B.People were afraid of the monsters in the book.
C.It was too difficult for people to understand.
D.People liked both the book and the monsters.
25.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Shan Hai Jing has inspired works across the world.
B.Shan Hai Jing includes many special monsters.
C.Shan Hai Jing sells very well across the world.
D.All people like the monsters from Shan Hai Jing.
【答案】21.C 22.C 23.B 24.D 25.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了《山海经》这部古老书籍,讲述了其成书时间、内容,对世界神话文化的影响,对众多作品的启发以及在日本的情况等。
【详解】21.第一段提到“Foxes with nine tails, animals with human faces and fish bodies, turtles with bird heads and snake tails, these magical animals are from Shan Hai Jing (The Classic of Mountains and Seas).”作者列举了《山海经》中各种奇特的动物,目的是引起读者的兴趣。
22.第二段“Shan Hai Jing took shape before the Qin Dynasty (221-206BC). Like an encyclopedia (百科全书), it writes about the world in the eyes of people at that time”中,前文提到了《山海经》,后面说像百科全书一样记录当时人们眼中的世界,所以“it”指代的是“Shan Hai Jing”。
23.第二段提到“The 30,000-word book records about 40 states, 550 mountains, 300 rivers, more than 100 people in history and 400 interesting animals.”可知在《山海经》中能找到州、山、河,没有提到植物和艺术。所以能找到1、2、3。
24.第三段提到“In Japan, it was popular. People there once saw it as a guidebook for traveling in China. The book’s monsters (怪兽) were also popular.”说明《山海经》到了日本后,书和书中的怪兽都很受欢迎。
25.文章最后一段提到“Shan Hai Jing has inspired many works.”以及前文对《山海经》对世界文化、作品等方面影响的阐述,可知文章主要讲的是《山海经》启发了世界各地的作品。

根据短文内容,将下面的选项还原到文中空白处,使短文内容完整、通顺,每个选项只能用一次,其中有一个选项是多余的。
Qian Xuesen was a great scientist. 26 He is also known as “the King of Rockets.” Thanks to his research, China’s space technology has progressed in a rapid way.
Qian was born in Shanghai on December 11th, 1911. 27 After graduation, he worked in America for a few years. In the early 1950s, he heard that New China had been founded (建立), and he decided to give up the good working conditions in America. Although the American government tried to stop him from leaving, he succeeded in coming back to China in 1955.
28 Then it became the leading organization for China’s rocket and air travel. At that time, the conditions in China were too hard. 29 On April 24, 1970, China’s first man-made satellite (卫星), “Dongfanghong I” was successfully sent into space.
A student of Qian Xuesen, Zhu Yilin, once said, “I learned professional knowledge and working spirit from Mr. Qian. 30 When New China needed scientists badly, he returned to help in the rocket industry.”
A.I sensed his deep love for our country, too.
B.Who visited Qian Xuesen when he was in China?
C.At the age of 24, he went to America to study.
D.But Qian and his team still faced the difficulties bravely.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要介绍了“中国航天之父”、“火箭之王”钱学森。他在美国学成后,怀着一颗伟大的爱国心回到祖国,为新中国的建设做出巨大贡献。
【详解】26.第一段指出钱学森是一位伟大的科学家,空格后提到“He is also known as ‘the King of Rockets.’”,因此前文应引出另一个称号。选项E“He is known as ‘the Father of China’s Space Program.’”与后文形成并列关系,符合逻辑。
27.第二段开头提到钱学森1911年出生于上海,空格后提到“After graduation”,因此空格处应描述他求学阶段的经历。选项C“At the age of 24, he went to America to study.”衔接出生与毕业后的经历,符合时间顺序。
28.第三段讲述钱学森回国后的贡献,空格后提到“Then it became the leading organization for China’s rocket and air travel.”,其中“it”指代前文的某个组织。选项F“In 1956, Qian Xuesen suggested starting a special organization.”与后文形成顺承关系,符合逻辑。
29.第三段提到“At that time, the conditions in China were too hard.”,空格后提到1970年中国第一颗人造卫星成功发射,因此空格处应描述钱学森团队面对困难的态度。选项D“But Qian and his team still faced the difficulties bravely.”与上文形成转折,与下文形成因果,符合逻辑。
30.第四段是钱学森的学生朱毅麟的引言,他说“我从钱先生那里学到了专业知识和敬业精神”,空格后提到“当新中国急需科学家时,他回国投身火箭事业”,因此空格处应进一步描述钱学森的爱国情怀。选项A“I sensed his deep love for our country, too.”与上文形成递进,与下文形成因果,符合逻辑。

Yuan, created hybrid rice that helps feed the world. On May 22, Yuan died at the age of 91. People around the world were sad 37 (hear) of his passing.
How did he begin?
In the 1960s, people in China didn’t have enough food to eat. Many people even lost their lives because of this. Yuan 38 (come) up with the idea for hybridizing rice. At that time, other people didn’t think hybrid rice had much value (价值). 39 , Yuan worked on it every day. He and his team took very 40 (well) care of their rice seeds (种子).

In 1991, the United Nations invited Yuan Longping to work as its chief consultant (首席顾问). He traveled to many foreign countries to share his knowledge of hybrid rice. “Professor Yuan’s contribution (贡献) is so powerful 45 he will long be remembered,” Barbara Stinson, president of the World Food Prize Foundation said.

【导语】本文主要讲述了袁隆平的生平事迹,包括他的贡献、生活态度以及人们对他的赞扬。
【详解】36.句意:但对于以开发杂交水稻而闻名的袁隆平来说,水稻不仅仅是这样。根据“known for”可知,此处表示因为开发杂交水稻而闻名,因此用“develop”的动名词形式“developing”作宾语。故填developing。
37.句意:5月22日,袁隆平去世,享年91岁。全世界的人们听到他的去世都很伤心。根据“People around the world were sad”可知,此处表示全世界的人们听到他的去世都很伤心,因此用“hear”的不定式形式“to hear”作原因状语。故填to hear。

Foxes with nine tails, animals with human faces and fish bodies, turtles with bird heads and snake tails, these magical animals are from Shan Hai Jing (The Classic of Mountains and Seas). This old book played an important role in the world and inspired (给予灵感) today’s works. Let’s learn more about it!
Shan Hai Jing took shape before the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC). Like an encyclopedia (百科全书), it writes about the world in the eyes of people at that time. The 30,000-word book records about 40 states, 550 mountains, 300 rivers, more than 100 people in history and 400 interesting animals.
Shan Hai Jing had a deep influence (影响) on the culture of mythology (神话学) in the world. It was taken to Japan during the Sui (581-618) and Tang (618-907) dynasties, or much earlier. In Japan, it was popular. People there once saw it as a guidebook for traveling in China. The book’s monsters (怪兽) were also popular.
Shan Hai Jing has inspired many works. Liu Siliang is a teacher at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. He said the book inspired the writing of Journey to the West and Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio《聊斋志异》. Pop culture works also borrow ideas from the book. Some of the animals in the book even go into movies, such as Zouwu, the star monster in Shan Hai Jing. It has a tiger-body with stripes of five colors. Its tail is longer than its body. It can travel 1,600 kilometers in a day. We can see it in the popular movie Fantastic Beasts II in 2021.
