She sat down on a chair, took out of a magazine and began to read. The dog was sitting between her and the man. After it had been sitting quietly for about ten minutes, the dog turned and looked up at the man. “ Excuse me,” the dog whispered(低语),“ but you look like a kind man. Please buy me from this awful woman.” The man could hardly believe his ears. A dog was whispering to him, in English. “ She is so mean to me,” the dog continued. “She never pets me or plays with me. She doesn't feed me properly and she often beats me when she is unhappy, which is most of the time.” The man was amazed to hear the dog say all this. He was even more surprised when the dog added, “ And I am really a very good dog. I’m quite famous, too. I won a medal in the last war and was twice wounded in action. I’ve saved three children—two from drowning and one from a fire.” The man decided that he would try to buy the dog from the woman. He would pay a lot of money if necessary. The dog would soon earn tens of thousands of dollars on television. It would be the world's first talking dog. “ Excuse me,” he said to the woman,“ but I love your little dog. Will you sell him to me?” “I’ll be pleased to sell him, “ the woman said. “ You can have him for ten dollars. “ Ten dollars!” the man said. “ Only ten dollars?

Among them, calligraphy (书法), poetry (诗歌) and painting were the most famous. Often they would be put together in art. These became important starting with the Song Dynasty. Calligraphy is the art of handwriting. In the old time, the Chinese considered writing as an important form of art. Calligraphers would practise for years to learn to write perfectly, but with style. Each of over 40, 000 characters (汉字) needed to be written correctly. And each stroke (笔画) in a character had to be written in a certain order. Poetry was also an important form of art. Great poets were famous all over the country, but all educated people were expected to write poetry. During the Tang Dynasty, poetry was so important that writing poetry was part of the examinations to become a civil servant (文官) and work for the government. Chinese painting was often connected with calligraphy. It is one of the oldest artistic traditions in the world. The most traditional way of Chinese painting is known as “national” or “native” painting, which is quite different from Western painting. People can draw mountains, homes, bird, trees and water on it. 11. Calligraphers needed to write over ________ characters correctly in the old time. A. 10,000 B. 20,000 C. 30,000 D. 40,000 12.

The strokes of each character could be written in any order. C. Poetry was an important form of art like calligraphy. D. Chinese painting was often connected with calligraphy. 15. What’s the passage mainly about? A. Chinese art. B. Chinese examinations. C. Chinese history. D. Chinese dynasties. D The brush pen, one of the “Four Treasures of the Study”, was invented thousands of years ago. However, the oldest pen was just a stick or a piece of bamboo. It was difficult for people to write well on thin silk. It is said that Meng Tian, a general of the Kingdom (王国) Qin, improved the pen. When Meng was leading an army to fight against the Kingdom of 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 (狩猎), Meng made his way home with some wild rabbits on the horse back. Fat and heavy, one rabbit’s tail left a long trail (痕迹) on the ground when they moved on. Suddenly a good idea came to his mind when he saw it, “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 silk. 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 silk. 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. 16. Why did Meng Tian want to improve the pen? A. Because the king asked him to do so. B. Because he wanted to be an inventor. C. Because he didn’t have silk to write on. D. Because the pen brought him much trouble. 17. When did Meng think of the good idea in Paragraph 3? A. Before hunting animals. B. When he saw the trail. C. During cleaning the hair. D. After he wrote a report. 18. Which is the right order of improving the brush pen? a. The brush pen could write well. b. Meng tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick. c. The special water washed the oil away. d. Meng dropped the stick into a stone hole. A. b-d-a-c B. d-b-a-c C. b-d-c-a D. c-d-b-a 19. How can the students understand Chinese culture better? A. By learning to use brush pens. B. By playing a role. C. By planting more bamboo. D. By inventing things. 20. What can we learn from the passage? A. Make friends with animals. B. Value fantastic memories. C. Keep trying and never give up. D. Build a peaceful world. 第二节 补全短文(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从文后选择适当的选项补全短文，选项中有一项为多余选项。 Do you also feel anxiety (焦虑) during a big test? In fact, a little anxiety can be helpful.

It seems that it is very important in our life. That’s because without money you can’t buy any goods you want. But I think few people know the history of money. Long ago, people did not need money. They lived on wild animals, fruit and other plants. As time passed, people learned to raise animals and crops (农作物). Sometimes, families produced more than they needed, so they started to trade with other families. Later, people began to use money as a means of exchange (交换). However, it was not the kind of money we use today. They used shells, rice, salt, large stones, etc. During the 600s BC, people began to use coins as money. They soon found that coins were easier to carry and lasted a long time. Later, countries began to make their own coins. The Chinese were the first to use paper money, probably as early as the 11th century. The Italian traveler Marco Polo saw the Chinese using money when he visited China in the 1200s. However, European countries did not start using paper money until the 1600s. Today, we have many ways to pay for things. We do not always use coins or paper money. Sometimes, people prefer (更喜欢) to pay for things by phones. Paying by phones is easier and safer than carrying around a lot of “real” money.

Time goes by quickly. My life has changed a lot in the past few years. Let me show you my changes. I used to be really short and thin. Because I used to be shy and quiet, I was always silent in class. But now I have changed a lot. The most important change in my life is that I become more outgoing. What made me change a lot? I remember when I was in Grade Eight, there was an English speech contest in our school. I wanted to take part in it, but I was afraid of it. Our English teacher, Mr. Wang encouraged me to take part in it. He guided me a lot, and I practiced a lot every day. Finally, I won the first prize in the speech contest. I felt very proud and happy. Since then, I have become more outgoing. I hope my life will become better and better. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
