In fact, we can’t live without mirrors. Today mirrors are everywhere from your room to your father’s car. They are helpful in many ways. The mirror has a long history. But do you know who invented it and when it was invented? The first mirrors used were natural mirrors such as reflection in water. The first man-made mirrors were made out of the rock. Later, people used different metals such as bronze (青铜) to make mirrors. Throughout history, different types of mirrors have been used in many different cultures at the same time. The first glass mirror was invented by a German named Justus in 1835. He painted silver behind glass to produce the glass mirror. Aluminum (铝) is the main metal used for mirrors now. Today, mirrors come in different shapes and sizes. They are used for different reasons. We usually start our days by looking into the mirror in the bathroom. We also often use mirrors during the day to keep ourselves tidy. Mirrors are important for cars, too. If cars don’t have mirrors, it’s impossible to drive. This is because drivers can’t see other cars coming. Of course, that would lead to many car accidents. It is said that breaking a mirror causes seven years of bad luck. So look after your mirrors well. 1. What does the writer think of mirrors? A. Dangerous. B. Helpful. C. Cheap. 2. The underlined word “reflection” might mean “ ________ ” in Chinese.

A group of Taoists were trying to create a medicine that would make people live forever. Instead, they invented gunpowder (火药) by accident. From then on, gunpowder was widely used to make fireworks. Today, fireworks mark celebrations all over the world. From ancient China to the modern world, fireworks have developed a lot. The very first fireworks didn’t do much more than pop (爆炸) , but modern ones can create lots of shapes, many colors and different sounds. People set off fireworks into the sky when they are celebrating a great event. They fill the dark sky with bright red, blue, yellow, green and white. Fireworks give joy and pleasure to millions of people every year, but they have to be treated with great care because they are dangerous. If you get too close to them, they could burn you badly or even kill you. That’s why the sale and use of fireworks are restricted (限制) in many countries. If you’re having anything to do with fireworks, be sure to read and follow all the safety rules. Often, movie or TV shows show fireworks to mark the excitement of any event or activity. One such moment is falling in love. If anything can produce fireworks, it is a sweetheart’s kiss or the touch of a lover’s hand. Fireworks can also be a useful expression. It means a great show of noisy rage. For example, when one wants to stop a loud argument, they may say, “I want no more of these fireworks in this room.” Whether you are excited or angry, there are always fireworks. 6. Who created fireworks according to the passage? A. The scientists. B. The doctors. C. The Taoists. 7. What can we know about the very first fireworks according to the passage? A. They can create many shapes. B. They can make different sounds. C. They can hardly do anything but pop. 8. Why are the sale and use of fireworks restricted in many countries? A. Because fireworks are useless. B. Because fireworks are dangerous. C. Because people don’t follow safety rules. 9. What does the underlined word “rage” mean in Chinese? A. 愤怒 B. 恐惧 C. 失望 10. What’s the purpose of the passage? A. To explain how fireworks were invented. B. To ask people to treat fireworks with great care. C. To introduce fireworks and their use in different situations. C For more than 30 years, the 50-year-old Zhu Yanjun had been a migrant worker (农民工) in different cities like many other people from the country; but what made him ________ was his strong passion (热情) for reading poetry and books. In early February, 2023, Zhu became well-known when he became the runner-up in the annual Chinese Poetry Competition hosted by CCTV. Zhu’s passion for reading came from his Chinese language teacher in middle school who has published many articles in magazines. “I also wanted to publish stories, so I started to read, and borrowed books from friends and classmates,” he said. Born in a village in Jingning county, Gansu province, Zhu had never left his hometown in his youth. After graduating from middle school, he became a migrant worker. Zhu worked in more than 10 cities; yet no matter where he was, he went to local bookstores and took a notebook with him in order to write down paragraphs from the books and recite them. Over the years, he has read thousands of poems and can recite more than 1,000 of them. “There is an old Chinese saying: Reading 10,000 books is not as good as traveling 10,000 miles,” said Zhu. “However, for me, although I have been to many different cities, it is not for travel but to make a living. So I improve myself by reading books and poems.” Reading poetry helps Zhu stay calm and he never complains about hard work. “Whenever I face any difficulty, I think of Chairman Mao’s quotation: ‘Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it’,” he told China Daily. Because of his good performance at the poetry competition, the government in Jingning county decided to hire him to work at the local cultural center. He started to work there on March 10. 11. Which word fits best in the “________” in Paragraph 1? A. creative B. energetic C. different 12. Which of the following is the right order of Zhu Yanjun’s life experience? ①Zhu worked at the cultural center in Jingning county. ②Zhu came second in the 2023 Chinese Poetry Competition. ③Zhu graduated from middle school and became a migrant worker. ④ Zhu worked in more than 10 cities to make a living. A. ③②④① B. ③④②① C. ③④①② 13. Which of the following has the similar meaning to “Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it”? A. Every dog has its day. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. Where there is a will, there is a way. 14. What can we learn from Zhu Yanjun? A. Never giving up. B. Attending poetry competitions. C. Traveling 10,000 miles. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. A special poet B. Reading for dream C. Travelling and reading 第二节：短文还原(共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 阅读短文，从短文后面的六个选项中选择五个还原到短文中，使短文通顺完整、衔接自然。 Manners for overnight guests at a family home If you are going to visit an American, and have to stay overnight, there are some manners you should know and obey. ♦You should take your toothbrush, toothpaste, and pajamas (睡衣). ♦Ask clearly about time—when to arrive and when to go home. ♦Ask about the family schedule (时间表).
