Like a lot of Chinese students, I started learning English as soon as I entered middle school. I was interested in learning this foreign language because I was good at it and this made me feel very happy. However, my interest in English learning didn’t last long. Once I got into high school, English made me confused because I couldn’t stand the boring grammar points. Soon, I lost interest in English and my English became very poor. But English music gave me the confidence to learn this second language. One day I bought an English magazine. There was a tape in it. It recorded (录制) several English songs and collected some fun articles (文章). The moment I listened to the songs recorded in the tape, I fell in love with English music. Also, I could read some interesting articles in the magazine to get to know the fantastic culture of English-speaking countries. Soon I decided to pick up my English. In order to learn it well, I did many grammar and reading exercises. At the same time I kept my habit of listening to English music and reading English magazines. My grades in English tests improved little by little. 1. Why did the writer lose interest in learning English? A. Because he was not very good at speaking. B.

B ①The Huazhao Festival is a traditional flower festival following the Lantern Festival. With a history of over 2,000 years, the Huazhao Festival was first held on flowers’ birthday. Since the climate is different in different parts of China, people celebrate the festival on the 2nd, 12th, 15th or 25th day of the second lunar month. ②The Huazhao Festival was as important as the Lantern Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival in ancient times. Nowadays, an increasing number of people in China have begun to celebrate this flower festival again. ________ ③Spring outings (春游) during the Huazhao Festival were popular in ancient China. Since the festival is in early spring, it’s just the time to have an outing to enjoy all kinds of flowers. And people in some places plant flowers and vegetables. It is said that flowers and vegetables planted on that day would grow easily and rapidly. Besides, people believe wild vegetables in early spring are nutritious (有营养的), so many people enjoy picking them. ④At the festival, crowded fairs often appear early that day. There are lots of activities at the fair, such as dancing, playing music and playing games. ⑤People also cut colorful cloth into pieces and tie them to the stems (茎) of flowers, which is called “shanghong”, as a protection of flowers. If the stems are too thin to stand the cloth, people would put a thin bamboo stick in the flower pot and tie a piece of red cloth to the stick. 6. Why was the Huazhao Festival set up? A.

With fantastic strength, they can fly in the sky and swim in the sea. They can make rain, too. The loong is a symbol of strength and good luck, so the emperors of ancient China loved loongs. Their clothes were covered with pictures of loongs. We are proud to call ourselves the “descendants (传人) of the loong”. In China, “excellent” people are often called “loongs”. A number of Chinese sayings and idioms (习语) talk about loongs. For example, “Hoping one’s child will become a loong” means a parent hopes his or her child will be successful. It is said that people born in the Year of the Loong have certain characteristics. They are creative, brave, confident and quick-tempered (性急的). There are some famous “loongs” who did excellent things, like Deng Xiaoping. He is really successful. There are also some traditional festivals about loongs in China, such as Loongtaitou Festival and Dragon Boat Festival. We have different kinds of activities to celebrate them. These two festivals come every year, but the Year of the Loong comes every twelve years. The loong is very important in Chinese culture. As the “descendants of the loong”, it is necessary for us to know the views on loongs in our culture. It can help us understand why our parents always want us to be “loongs” 11. In ancient China, why were the emperors’ clothes covered with pictures of loongs? A. Because loongs look really cool. B. Because loongs are special animals. C. Because loongs can fly in the sky and make rain. D. Because loongs mean strength and good luck. 12. What does the underlined sentence “Hoping one’s child will become a loong.” in paragraph 2 probably mean in Chinese? A. 龙马精神 B. 龙飞凤舞 C. 望子成龙 D. 龙腾虎跃 13. What do people born in the Year of the Loong have in common? A. Creative, independent, brave and quick-tempered. B. Creative, brave, confident and quick-tempered. C. Successful, lucky, confident and creative. D. Successful, confident, brave and quick-tempered. 14. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Loongs are real animals living in the ancient time. B. Some famous people were born in the Year of the Loong. C. The “descendants of the loong” are often successful. D. Loongtaitou Festival and the Lantern Festival are about loongs. 15. What’s the best title of the passage? A. The Year of the Loong B. Festivals About Chinese Loong C. Descendants of the Loong D. The Culture of the Chinese Loong D Mrs. Green went to Beijing to teach English many years ago. When she arrived, she knew little about the Chinese culture or language. On her way to school one day, she went to the bank to get some money. To her surprise, the bank clerk asked her if she had had her lunch. She was extremely (非常) surprised at such a question, because in American culture, it would be regarded as an indirect invitation to lunch. Between unmarried young people, it can also indicate (表明) the young man’s interest in dating (约会) the girl. Then Mrs. Green said that she had eaten already. After this she went to school and was even more surprised when one of the teachers asked her the same question. Then she realized that it could not be an invitation, but was puzzled (困惑的) as to why they asked it. In the following days she was asked the same question again and again, and she spent many hours trying to work out why so many people kept asking her this. Finally, she came to a conclusion (结论): people must be worried about her health. She was a little underweight at the time, so she thought they must be worrying that she was not eating properly! Only much later did she discover that the question had no real meaning at all. It was simply a greeting (问候语) like “How are you doing?” Culture differences are sometimes puzzling, but most of the time they are fun! 16. Why did Mrs. Green go to Beijing? A. Her friend lived there. B. She worked there. C. She visited it. D. She was on business. 17. How did Mrs. Green feel when she was asked the question? A. Surprised. B. Excited. C. Angry. D. Sad. 18. What does the question “Have you had lunch?” mean in America? A. It’s just a simple greeting. B. It means the asker is interested in the person asked. C. It only shows the asker is polite. D. It means the asker wants to invite the person asked to a party. 19. What does the underlined word “underweight” mean in Chinese? A. 体重不足的 B. 体重正常的 C. 体重超常的 D. 没称体重的 20. What is the passage mainly about? A. How to greet others. B. Culture differences. C. Bank clerks in Beijing. D. A strange question. E How to Ask Someone Nicely to Help You One always has to ask for help. No one can do everything. ____21____ Asking politely for help can improve the chances that you will receive help when you need it. Politeness is important ____22____ So your words sound more like a request and less like an order. And you can be helped easily. Don’t phrase your request negatively (否定地). For example, you’d better not ask “I’m sure you probably can’t, but could you please…?” ____23____ Or it seems that you don’t believe the person you ask is willing to help you. You need proper words “Let the person know what you need in a simple and direct way. ____24____ And provide a way for that person to respond actively,” suggests Jodi Glickman, founder of Great on the Job. Your request might sound like, “Jenny, I need your help, please. I will understand if it’s not convenient, but I’d be thankful if you could.” The personal touch Whenever possible, ask face-to-face or over the phone, and ask in time so the person doesn’t feel hurried and would like to care about you. ____25____ It might come off sounding more like an order. A. Sometimes you need help. B. A text doesn’t provide a personal touch. C. It seems that you expect a “no” answer. D. Begin with “please” and end with “thank you”. E. I can do everything for you. F. Also, let him understand the reason you are explaining now. 二、选词填空：本大题共10小题，共10分。 A. spirit B. symbol C. teach D. important E. teaches F. them Many kinds of Chinese festivals have appeared as society develops. Celebrating ____26____ has become a necessary part in our life. Why are traditional Chinese festivals ____27____ for us?
