One sunny morning, as he was walking near the edge of the water, he looked along the beach and in the distance (远处) he saw a little girl near the water. She was bending down (弯腰) and then standing up. He wasn’t sure what she was doing. So he decided to go closer to find out. When he got near to the little girl, he saw that on the beach there were lots of starfish, and the little girl was picking them up, one at a time, and throwing them into the water. The writer went closer to the girl and asked her what she was doing. The girl stopped and looked up at the writer — she seemed surprised. Then she said she was throwing the starfish back into the sea. She said, “The sun is up, and the tide (潮) is going out. If I don’t throw the starfish back into the water, they will die.” Now it was the writer who was surprised. He wanted to persuade her that she was wasting her time. He said, “But look, there are hundreds of starfish here. You can’t possibly pick them all up and throw them back. It’s meaningless. Can’t you see that you can’t possibly make a difference here?” The girl smiled, bent down and picked up another starfish, and as she threw it back into the sea, she answered, “If I hadn’t thrown it back, it would have died. I think I made a difference to that one.” 5. What did the writer do along the beach every morning? A. He took a walk. B. He watched sunrise. C. He did some writing. D. He enjoyed the tide. 6. What did the writer see when he was far away from the girl? A. The tide was going up. B. There were a lot of starfish. C. The girl was picking up the starfish. D. The girl was bending down and standing up. 7. What does the underlined word “persuade” mean? A. reply to B. change C. make someone believe something D. support 8. The girl’s words in the last paragraph showed that ________. A. she could stop throwing back the starfish B. she believed what she did was meaningful C. she regretted throwing the starfish into the sea D. she thought the writer was a lazy and cruel man C Zheng Chenggong (1624—1662), also known as Koxinga, is best known for setting up Chinese control over Taiwan. Zheng was born in Hirado, Japan to a Japanese mother and a Chinese father. His father was given an official position by the Ming Dynasty, so the family moved to Fujian Province at seven. Zheng was given a Confucian education in Nanjing in 1644. The next year, the Ming Dynasty gave way to the Qing Dynasty. When the Qing Dynasty forces entered Fujian, his father surrendered (投降). But Zheng, being against his father’s orders, made up his mind to rebuild the Ming Dynasty and began to build up land and naval (海军的) forces. Over the next 12 years, Zheng had built a strong position on the Fujian coast, centred on the islands of Xiamen and Jinmen. In 1659, Zheng carried out one of his most important actions. With a force of more than 100,000 up the Yangtze River, he succeeded. There, however, wrong decisions led to a terrible loss. Facing increasing pressure, he hit upon the plan of taking Taiwan from the Dutch (荷兰人). In 1661, he landed on Taiwan and fought for nine months. At last, the Dutch surrendered and left Tainan. Zheng then set up a governing system, settled the island with his soldiers and families from Fujian and spread Chinese culture. His larger goals were cut short by his death in 1662. At last, Zheng’s plans failed, but he became amazingly popular all over the world. In Japan, the famous play, The battles of Koxinga (1715), made Zheng well known to Japanese. In Europe, Zheng was famous for driving the Dutch away. In China, he soon became a popular spirit and cultural hero to the early Chinese in Taiwan. On the official level, in 1875 the Qing government recognised him as a symbol of loyalty (忠诚) and built a temple to honour him in Taiwan. Today, Zheng Chenggong is still remembered as a national hero in Chinese history. 9. What is Zheng Chenggong best known for? A. Raising a powerful navy in Fujian. B. Fighting against the Qing Dynasty. C. Taking control of Taiwan for China. D. Building many temples in Fujian. 10. What is the right order of the following events about Zheng Chenggong? ① He built a strong position on the Fujian coast. ② He received traditional education in Nanjing. ③ He decided to fight against the Qing Dynasty. ④ He drove the Dutch away with his soldiers. A. ②③①④ B. ②①④③ C. ①②④③ D. ③②①④ 11. How does the writer show the popularity of Zheng Chenggong in the last paragraph? A. By listing numbers. B. By giving examples. C. By making comparisons. D. By telling a short story. 12. What’s the best title for this passage? A. The Rise and Fall of Dynasties B. A Final Battle against the Dutch C. The Man Who Took Back Taiwan D. The History of Ming and Qing Dynasties D White Dew, known as Bailu in Chinese, is the 15th solar term of the traditional Chinese 24 solar terms. It usually arrives around September 7 to 9 every year. Unlike the slight coolness in early autumn, White Dew marks the official coming of real cool autumn. As temperatures drop gradually, water vapor in the night air condenses into white dewdrops on grass and leaves, which gives this solar term its beautiful name. There is a famous old saying in China, “Each night after White Dew brings cooler weather.” After White Dew, cold air becomes more active across the country. The temperature difference between day and night becomes much larger. People can clearly feel the end of summer heat and the arrival of refreshing autumn wind. This natural change not only influences the climate, but also shapes rich traditional customs that have lasted for hundreds of years. Many unique folk customs are closely connected with White Dew. Collecting fresh dewdrops is the most classic tradition. Ancient Chinese people believed that the pure white dew gathered at dawn could help relieve dryness and bring health. Drinking White Dew tea is another popular custom. The tea picked during White Dew tastes fresh and mild, winning great praise from local people. Besides, people living near Taihu Lake hold grand ceremonies to honor Dayu, who conquered floods and protected local people. In traditional Chinese health preservation ideas, White Dew is a key time to prevent autumn dryness. Experts suggest that people should eat moistening food such as pears, honey and lotus roots. Meanwhile, citizens are advised to add clothes in time in the morning and evening to avoid catching cold, because the temperature changes sharply during this period. As a precious part of Chinese traditional culture, White Dew carries ancient people’s wisdom of living in harmony with nature. It reminds modern people to observe natural changes and respect seasonal rules. These traditional solar term cultures are important cultural treasures that deserve permanent inheritance and promotion. 13. Why is the solar term named White Dew? A. Because the daytime temperature turns cool B. Because white dewdrops form on plants at night C. Because there is heavy fog every morning D. Because summer heat disappears completely 14. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. The origin of Chinese old sayings B. The climate features of White Dew C. The influence of summer heat D. The history of traditional customs 15. What custom do Taihu Lake residents have during White Dew? A. Holding ceremonies to honor Dayu B. Selling fresh seasonal fruits C. Collecting dewdrops for neighbors D. Drinking all kinds of herbal tea 16. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Changes of Autumn Temperatures B. Useful Autumn Health Knowledge C. White Dew: Culture and Customs of Real Autumn D. The History of 24 Solar Terms 第二节 阅读短文，从下面所给选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余选项。 The entrance examination for Senior High School is very important for students.

It’s a forest park in the north of Hebei. It’s about 400 km away from Beijing. For hundreds of years, the emperor went there to hunt. But in the 1800s, things began to change. There were forest fires and wars, and people cut down many trees. Saihanba slowly turned into a desert. When the forest disappeared, there were terrible sandstorms in the Beijing area. In the early 1960s, a group of scientists travelled to Saihanba to find a solution. They found an old tree in the middle of the desert. “Maybe we can still plant trees here,” they thought. In 1962, the first tree planters arrived in Saihanba. They worked in bad conditions. The cold and dry weather was the biggest challenge for their work. In winter, it got as cold as -40°C. Strong winds blew down many young trees. Three generations (代) of forest workers continued the hard work. Thanks to them, Saihanba is green again. It is the world’s biggest man-made forest today. There are hundreds of millions of trees there now. The forest helps provide the capital with clean air and water and there are fewer sandstorms in the Beijing area now. Saihanba has become one of the most popular places to travel. People can get close to nature and it’s relaxing and comfortable to take a walk in the forest. 41. Where is Saihanba? ________________________________________ 42. When did the first tree planters arrive in Saihanba? ________________________________________ 43. Why are there fewer sandstorms in the Beijing area now? ________________________________________ 44. What can we learn from the forest workers in Saihanba?
