No copying! Students in grades 6-8: No more than 600 words. Students in grades 9-12: No more than 1,000 words. The title and any extra notes at the bottom don’t count in the word limit.

At the age of 7, by chance, she watched a show on TV where many girls were wearing red hanfu and dancing. After that, she often recalled (回想起) that fantastic show. In order to know more about Chinese, she went to China and started her journey of learning Chinese. Language is the bridge of communication (交流) among different people from different countries. At first, she could just use simple words and sentences to talk with others. But many people couldn’t understand her at all, so she was nervous. Then Bella tried her best to practise Chinese by taking part in many speaking activities and using body language. After several months, she could let others know her meaning easily. What’s more, she went to some places of interest and tasted some local food like douzhi. The longer she stayed in China, the more things she found that she didn’t know. That’s because China has a long history and there are also many kinds of cultures (文化). It’s not only difficult but also impossible for her to know everything about Chinese.

After that, she often recalled that fantastic show. In order to know more about Chinese, she went to China and started her journey of learning Chinese”可知，贝拉7岁时看到的一场精彩节目让她印象深刻，此后为了解更多中文相关事物前往中国学习，即这场节目是她对中文产生兴趣的原因。故选A。 30．细节理解题。根据“Then Bella tried her best to practise Chinese by taking part in many speaking activities and using body language”可知，贝拉通过参加许多口语活动和使用肢体语言来练习中文，从而提升中文水平。故选B。 31．主旨大意题。通读第二段可知，第二段主要讲述了贝拉的学习经历。故选B。 32．推理判断题。根据“The longer she stayed in China, the more things she found that she didn’t know. That’s because China has a long history and there are also many kinds of cultures. It’s not only difficult but also impossible for her to know everything about Chinese. But...”可知，前文提到贝拉意识到中国文化丰富、自己还有很多未知，“But”表转折，此处应介绍“尽管困难，但仍会继续学习”的相关内容。故选D。 C ①When we talk about communication, we often think of talking with others. But do you know we also talk with ourselves from time to time? For example, your mum asks you what you would like for breakfast. Many foods come to your mind: sandwiches, bread, milk...You think that it would be great to have sandwiches. Until you tell your mum what you want to eat, you are talking with yourself. ②We call this kind of communication intrapersonal (内心的) communication. This can be talking to ourselves, reading, writing, thinking, understanding and remembering something. ③Intrapersonal communication plays a big part in our lives. Good intrapersonal communication allows you to understand yourself better. When you’re comfortable with who you are, and you know what you want, you can better get on with yourself. Also, intrapersonal communication helps you keep an eye on your thoughts and feelings. When you find that your mind is full of bad thoughts and sad feelings, you will try to cheer up and get rid of them. ④What’s more, intrapersonal communication helps you to talk with others. Understanding your thoughts and feelings better allows you to put yourself in others' shoes when you talk to or listen to them. Then, you can better understand and get on with them. 33．How does the writer explain the idea of intrapersonal communication in Paragraph 1? A．He offers some facts. B．He gives an example. C．He shows numbers. D．He asks and answers a question. 34．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．The rules of intrapersonal communication. B．The problems of intrapersonal communication. C．The ways of intrapersonal communication. D．The good points of intrapersonal communication. 35．What’s the structure of the text? A． B． C． D． 36．What is the purpose of the text? A．To tell us what intrapersonal communication is. B．To advise us to talk with others more often. C．To describe the importance of getting on with others. D．To show us how to talk with others. 【答案】33．B 34．D 35．C 36．A 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了内心沟通（intrapersonal communication）的定义，并说明了它对了解自我和与人交流的重要性。 33．第一段开头先提出“ But do you know we also talk with ourselves from time to time? For example,...”，我们也会时不时和自己对话，然后举了一个具体的生活场景：妈妈问你早餐想吃什么，你脑子里想过三明治、面包、牛奶等，最后决定要三明治——在你告诉妈妈之前，你就是在和自己对话。这个具体的场景就是举例说明。 34．第三段第一句是主题句：Intrapersonal communication plays a big part in our lives.（内心沟通在我们的生活中扮演着重要角色。），后面具体说明它的好处：让你更好地了解自己（understand yourself better）；让你更好地与自己相处（better get on with yourself）；帮助你关注自己的思想和感受（keep an eye on your thoughts and feelings）；帮助你摆脱负面情绪（cheer up and get rid of them），这些都是“好处/优点” 35．Paragraph 1：引入话题，通过举例引出“内心沟通”的概念；Paragraph 2：给出定义，解释什么是“intrapersonal communication”；Paragraph 3：说明内心沟通的第一个好处（了解自我）；Paragraph 4：说明内心沟通的第二个好处（帮助与他人交流）。 整体结构是：引出话题（①）→下定义（②）→分点阐述重要性/好处（③④）。选项C所示结构符合。 36．文章从头到尾都在围绕“intrapersonal communication”展开：第1段用例子引出这个概念；第2段给出明确定义；第3、4段说明它的重要性。虽然文章也提到了“重要性”和“如何帮助与人交流”，但这些都不是最终目的，而是为了让读者更全面地理解什么是内心沟通。选项A“告诉我们什么是内心沟通。”符合。 D Every afternoon, as they were coming from school, the children used to go and play in the Giant (巨人)’s garden. It was a large lovely garden, with soft green grass, beautiful flowers and twelve peach trees. The birds sat on the trees and sang so sweetly that the children used to stop their games to listen to them. “How happy we are here!” they cried to each other. One day the Giant came back and saw the children playing in the garden. “What are you doing here?” he cried in a very unfriendly voice, and the children ran away. “My own garden is my own garden,” said the Giant, “I will let nobody play in it but myself.” So he built a high wall all round it. He was a very selfish Giant. The poor children had nowhere to play. They had to walk round the high wall and talk about the beautiful garden inside. “How happy we were there,” they said to each other. Months later, “I cannot understand why the Spring is so late in coming,” said the selfish Giant as he sat at the window and looked out at his cold white garden; “I hope there will be a change in the weather.” But the Spring never came, nor the Summer. The Autumn gave golden fruit to every garden, but to the Giant’s garden she gave none. So it was always Winter there. One morning the Giant was lying in bed when he heard some lovely music. It was so long since he had heard a bird sing in his garden. He jumped out of bed and looked out. What did he see? Through a little hole in the wall the children had climbed in, and they were sitting in the branches (枝头) of the trees. The birds were flying about and the flowers were looking up through the green grass and laughing. The Giant’s heart melted (融化). “Now I know why the Spring would not come here,” he said; “I will knock down the wall and my garden shall be the children’s playground for ever and ever.” Adapted by The Giant’s Garden 37．How did the Giant feel when he saw the children for the first time? A．Excited. B．Angry. C．Happy. D．Helpless. 38．Which sentence best shows Giant’s selfishness? A．What are you doing here? B．My own garden is my own garden. C．I cannot understand why the Spring is so late in coming. D．I hope there will be a change in the weather. 39．What can we infer from the passage? A．The Giant built a high wall around the garden. B．The Giant didn’t expect the coming of Spring. C．The Giant wanted to be warm-hearted. D．The Giant opened his mind in the end. 40．What does the writer want to tell us through the passage? A．Where there is a will, there is a way. B．Bad times make a good man. C．Home is where the heart is. D．Roses given, fragrance in hand. 【答案】37．B 38．B 39．D 40．D 【解析】本文主要讲述了一个自私的巨人有一个美丽宽广的花园却不允许任何人进去。结果春天、夏天和秋天都没有来他的花园。这个故事告诉我们，不能太自私，要与他人分享，否则我们可能会失去很多东西。 37．根据第三段“One day the Giant came back and saw the children playing in the garden. ‘What are you doing here?’ he cried in a very unfriendly voice, and the children ran away.”可知，巨人第一次看到孩子在花园玩时，用非常不友好的语气呵斥，把孩子们吓跑，说明他当时很生气。 38．根据第四段“‘My own garden is my own garden,’ said the Giant, ‘I will let nobody play in it but myself.’ So he built a high wall all round it.”可知，巨人说“我的花园就是我自己的花园”，结合后一句他说除了自己不会允许任何人来这里玩，这句话最能体现他独占花园、不肯分享的自私。选项A“你在这干嘛？”只是呵斥，选项C和D都是他后来春天不来的时候说的话，和自私没关系。 39．根据最后一段“‘Now I know why the Spring would not come here,’ he said; ‘I will knock down the wall and my garden shall be the children’s playground for ever and ever.’”可知，他最终放下自私、打开了心扉，因此选D。 40．本文的主旨是：巨人独占花园时，花园永远是冬天，把花园分享给孩子后，春天才到来，告诉我们分享的意义。选项D“赠人玫瑰，手有余香。”正是强调分享会给自己也带来美好，符合主旨。 第二节 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Hobbies and leisure (休闲的) activities are good for us. 41 But it is difficult to find one that can fit into your busy life. Here is some advice to help you find your interests. 42 Maybe you regretted giving up those music lessons when you were ten. Now here’s your chance to try again. Perhaps you wish you could spend time exploring on your bicycle again, or wonder why you stopped drawing cartoons. Think about going back to the similar activities. Another way is to think about the hobbies your friends have taken up. 43 Training together will keep both you and your friends more active. Remember that an activity may not interest you after you’ve tried it. 44 So don’t ask your parents to pay for a whole year’s lessons right away. Begin slowly, borrow what you need, and see whether the activity is really right for you. If you still enjoy an activity after a few weeks, it might be the right hobby for you. 45 Take these suggestions and act quickly to find your own hobbies! Do you have a hobby? A．Only then is it the time to pay for the full course. B．Try the things you enjoyed doing when you were little. C．Actually, lots of people give up hobbies after several tries. D．They can help us relax, meet people and improve ourselves. E．Take it up again or start something else.

When you face difficulties, he or she will stand by your side and offer help. When you feel sad, he or she will try 47 (cheer) you up with funny stories or kind words. When you achieve success, he or she will be as happy as you are and celebrate with you. How can we make good friends? First, we should be 48 (sincere) to others. Honesty is the foundation of friendship—no one wants to be friends with someone who lies. Second, we should be 49 (help). We can help our classmates with their studies, or help clean the classroom together. Small acts of kindness can bring people closer. Third, we need to be patient. Everyone has different personalities and habits. We should learn to understand and accept others’ differences instead of complaining. Keeping friendship is as important as making friends. We should take care of our friendship. For example, we can remember our friends’ birthdays and send them a small gift or a warm message. We can also share our 50 (happy) and worries with them. When we have disagreements with friends, we should talk to them 51 (gentle) and try to find a solution together. Don’t let small problems break your friendship. My best friend, Hannah, teaches me a lot about friendship. She is more 52 (hard-working) than me. Every time I want to give up on my homework, she encourages me to keep going. With her help, my grades have become much 53 (good) than before. She is also a cheerful person—even when she faces trouble, she always looks on the bright side. Friendship is like a small tree. It needs 54 (water) with care and kindness every day. If we take good care of it, it will grow strong and bring us happiness for a long time. Let’s 55 (cherish) our friends and our friendship forever. 【答案】 46．happier 47．to cheer 48．sincere 49．helpful 50．happiness 51．gently 52．hard-working 53．better 54．to be watered/watering 55．cherish 【解析】本文介绍友谊的重要性，讲述如何结交朋友、维护友谊，并以作者好友为例，说明友谊需要用心呵护，我们要珍惜友谊。 46．句意：朋友能让我们的生活更快乐、更有意义。make+宾语+形容词比较级；“and”连接并列比较级，后面是“more meaningful”，happy变happier。 47．句意：当你难过的时候，他/她会努力用有趣的故事或是暖心的话让你振作起来。try to do sth.“尽力做某事”；cheer up“使振奋”，此处需用to cheer。 48．句意：首先，我们应当对他人真诚。be+形容词；be sincere to sb.“对某人真诚”。 49．句意：其次，我们应该乐于助人。be动词后接形容词作表语，help的形容词为helpful。 50．句意：我们也可以和他们分享我们的快乐与烦恼。“our”后接名词；happy的名词为happiness；和“worries”并列。 51．句意：当我们和朋友产生分歧时，我们应该温和地和他们沟通，一起寻找解决办法。副词修饰动词“talk”；gentle的副词形式为gently。 52．句意：她比我更加勤奋。more+多音节形容词原级，构成比较级。 53．句意：在她的帮助下，我的成绩变得比以前好多了。“much”修饰比较级；good的比较级为better。 54．句意：它（友谊这棵小树）每天都需要用关心和善意浇灌。need doing=need to be done“需要被……”，此处需用to be watered/watering。 55．句意：让我们永远珍惜我们的朋友和友谊。Let’s后接动词原形，cherish为动词，此处用原形即可。 五、短文填空(本题共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据各题所给首字母的提示，写出一个合适的英语单词完整、正确的形式，使短文通顺。 During my second year of middle school，our teacher gave us a test, I studied hard and did well in all the s 56 . so the questions were not difficult for me.

Some people may say no, but many experts think we should use it in a good way. They say AI can help us learn better. Zheng Qinghua, president of Tongii University, said it was important for us to use AI in education. He believed that AI could help us learn new things and get better at what we study. He also suggested that young people should improve their understanding of the knowledge through technology. In fact, AI has already become more and more important for teaching and learning. Zheng talked about the common use of different AI tools. These AI tools can help with students’ homework. A survey made by an online learning platform (平台) showed that 89 percent of students had used AI tools to help them with homework. However, some people worry that it may bring bad influence on education. “Instead of just using AI to get answers or finish homework and tests, students should focus on using AI to become creative and develop the ability to solve real-world problems,” said Zheng. Colin Bailey, president of Queen Mary University of London, says that as AI develops fast, stopping AI from being used in schools is not the answer. Instead, we should think about how to use it safely and correctly. People all over the world are working on rules to make sure AI is used in a good way. 66．What did Zheng Qinghua think of using AI in education? 67．How should students use AI according to Paragraph 4? 68．Which university does Colin Bailey work for? 69．Why are people all over the world working on rules for AI? 70．What can AI tools do? Your answer should be different from the underlined one in the text.) 【答案】66．Important. 67．They should use AI to become creative and develop the ability to solve real-world problems. 68．Queen Mary University of London. 69．To make sure AI is used in a good way. 70．Create pictures./Talk with people. 【解析】本文主要探讨了人工智能（AI）在教育领域的应用前景与争议。文章通过引用专家观点和调查数据，阐述了AI对学习的潜在帮助，同时也指出了其可能带来的负面影响，并最终强调了安全、正确使用AI的重要性。 66．根据文章第二段第一句“Zheng Qinghua, president of Tongji University, said it was important for us to use AI in education.”可知，郑庆华认为在教育中使用AI是重要的。答案可直接从该句中获取。 67．第四段郑庆华明确指出“students should focus on using AI to become creative and develop the ability to solve real-world problems”，因此学生应该利用AI来培养创造力和解决实际问题的能力，而非仅仅获取答案。 68．根据文章最后一段第一句“Colin Bailey, president of Queen Mary University of London, says that...”可以直接找到答案。 69．根据文章最后一句“People all over the world are working on rules to make sure AI is used in a good way.”可知，人们制定规则的目的就是为了确保AI能被正确地、以好的方式使用。 70．开放类简答题，要求答案不能和文中“帮助完成学生作业”的表述重复，可结合AI的常见功能作答，比如生成创意文案、辅助英语口语练习等，表述合理即可。 七、书面表达(本题满分25分) 71．阳光中学正在开展“Either Your Body or Your Mind Is on the Way”为主题的英语演讲比赛，你将代表班级进行演讲。请结合自身经历，谈谈你经历的一次旅行或看过的一本好书，分享旅行或阅读的收获。 注意事项： 1.演讲稿内容须包含所给要点，要求语句通顺、意思连贯、符合题意； 2.词数在90个左右，演讲稿的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； 3.演讲稿中不得使用真实的个人及学校信息。 Hello, everyone!

At the age of 7, by chance, she watched a show on TV where many girls were wearing red hanfu and dancing. After that, she often recalled (回想起) that fantastic show. In order to know more about Chinese, she went to China and started her journey of learning Chinese. Language is the bridge of communication (交流) among different people from different countries. At first, she could just use simple words and sentences to talk with others. But many people couldn’t understand her at all, so she was nervous. Then Bella tried her best to practise Chinese by taking part in many speaking activities and using body language. After several months, she could let others know her meaning easily. What’s more, she went to some places of interest and tasted some local food like douzhi. The longer she stayed in China, the more things she found that she didn’t know. That’s because China has a long history and there are also many kinds of cultures (文化). It’s not only difficult but also impossible for her to know everything about Chinese. But... 29．What made Bella get interested in Chinese? A．A fantastic show. B．Places of interest. C．Some local food. D．Chinese movies. 30．How did Bella improve her Chinese? A．By singing Chinese songs. B．By joining speaking activities. C．By watching Chinese videos. D．By asking her Chinese teacher for help. 31．What does Paragraph 2 tell us? A．Bella’s future plans. B．Bella’s learning experiences.

C．Bella tastes different kinds of food. D．Bella tries to learn more about Chinese. C ①When we talk about communication, we often think of talking with others. But do you know we also talk with ourselves from time to time? For example, your mum asks you what you would like for breakfast. Many foods come to your mind: sandwiches, bread, milk...You think that it would be great to have sandwiches. Until you tell your mum what you want to eat, you are talking with yourself. ②We call this kind of communication intrapersonal (内心的) communication. This can be talking to ourselves, reading, writing, thinking, understanding and remembering something. ③Intrapersonal communication plays a big part in our lives. Good intrapersonal communication allows you to understand yourself better. When you’re comfortable with who you are, and you know what you want, you can better get on with yourself. Also, intrapersonal communication helps you keep an eye on your thoughts and feelings. When you find that your mind is full of bad thoughts and sad feelings, you will try to cheer up and get rid of them. ④What’s more, intrapersonal communication helps you to talk with others. Understanding your thoughts and feelings better allows you to put yourself in others' shoes when you talk to or listen to them. Then, you can better understand and get on with them. 33．How does the writer explain the idea of intrapersonal communication in Paragraph 1? A．He offers some facts. B．He gives an example. C．He shows numbers. D．He asks and answers a question. 34．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．The rules of intrapersonal communication. B．The problems of intrapersonal communication. C．The ways of intrapersonal communication. D．The good points of intrapersonal communication. 35．What’s the structure of the text? A． B． C． D． 36．What is the purpose of the text? A．To tell us what intrapersonal communication is. B．To advise us to talk with others more often. C．To describe the importance of getting on with others. D．To show us how to talk with others. D Every afternoon, as they were coming from school, the children used to go and play in the Giant (巨人)’s garden. It was a large lovely garden, with soft green grass, beautiful flowers and twelve peach trees. The birds sat on the trees and sang so sweetly that the children used to stop their games to listen to them. “How happy we are here!” they cried to each other. One day the Giant came back and saw the children playing in the garden. “What are you doing here?” he cried in a very unfriendly voice, and the children ran away. “My own garden is my own garden,” said the Giant, “I will let nobody play in it but myself.” So he built a high wall all round it. He was a very selfish Giant. The poor children had nowhere to play. They had to walk round the high wall and talk about the beautiful garden inside. “How happy we were there,” they said to each other. Months later, “I cannot understand why the Spring is so late in coming,” said the selfish Giant as he sat at the window and looked out at his cold white garden; “I hope there will be a change in the weather.” But the Spring never came, nor the Summer. The Autumn gave golden fruit to every garden, but to the Giant’s garden she gave none. So it was always Winter there. One morning the Giant was lying in bed when he heard some lovely music. It was so long since he had heard a bird sing in his garden. He jumped out of bed and looked out. What did he see? Through a little hole in the wall the children had climbed in, and they were sitting in the branches (枝头) of the trees. The birds were flying about and the flowers were looking up through the green grass and laughing. The Giant’s heart melted (融化). “Now I know why the Spring would not come here,” he said; “I will knock down the wall and my garden shall be the children’s playground for ever and ever.” Adapted by The Giant’s Garden 37．How did the Giant feel when he saw the children for the first time? A．Excited. B．Angry. C．Happy. D．Helpless. 38．Which sentence best shows Giant’s selfishness? A．What are you doing here? B．My own garden is my own garden. C．I cannot understand why the Spring is so late in coming. D．I hope there will be a change in the weather. 39．What can we infer from the passage? A．The Giant built a high wall around the garden. B．The Giant didn’t expect the coming of Spring. C．The Giant wanted to be warm-hearted. D．The Giant opened his mind in the end. 40．What does the writer want to tell us through the passage?

Here is some advice to help you find your interests. 42 Maybe you regretted giving up those music lessons when you were ten. Now here’s your chance to try again. Perhaps you wish you could spend time exploring on your bicycle again, or wonder why you stopped drawing cartoons. Think about going back to the similar activities. Another way is to think about the hobbies your friends have taken up. 43 Training together will keep both you and your friends more active. Remember that an activity may not interest you after you’ve tried it. 44 So don’t ask your parents to pay for a whole year’s lessons right away. Begin slowly, borrow what you need, and see whether the activity is really right for you. If you still enjoy an activity after a few weeks, it might be the right hobby for you. 45 Take these suggestions and act quickly to find your own hobbies! Do you have a hobby? A．Only then is it the time to pay for the full course. B．Try the things you enjoyed doing when you were little. C．Actually, lots of people give up hobbies after several tries. D．They can help us relax, meet people and improve ourselves. E．Take it up again or start something else.

Everyone needs friends because friends can make our lives 46 (happy) and more meaningful. A good friend is always there for you. When you face difficulties, he or she will stand by your side and offer help. When you feel sad, he or she will try 47 (cheer) you up with funny stories or kind words. When you achieve success, he or she will be as happy as you are and celebrate with you. How can we make good friends? First, we should be 48 (sincere) to others. Honesty is the foundation of friendship—no one wants to be friends with someone who lies. Second, we should be 49 (help). We can help our classmates with their studies, or help clean the classroom together. Small acts of kindness can bring people closer. Third, we need to be patient. Everyone has different personalities and habits. We should learn to understand and accept others’ differences instead of complaining. Keeping friendship is as important as making friends. We should take care of our friendship. For example, we can remember our friends’ birthdays and send them a small gift or a warm message. We can also share our 50 (happy) and worries with them. When we have disagreements with friends, we should talk to them 51 (gentle) and try to find a solution together. Don’t let small problems break your friendship. My best friend, Hannah, teaches me a lot about friendship. She is more 52 (hard-working) than me. Every time I want to give up on my homework, she encourages me to keep going. With her help, my grades have become much 53 (good) than before. She is also a cheerful person—even when she faces trouble, she always looks on the bright side. Friendship is like a small tree. It needs 54 (water) with care and kindness every day. If we take good care of it, it will grow strong and bring us happiness for a long time. Let’s 55 (cherish) our friends and our friendship forever. 五、短文填空(本题共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据各题所给首字母的提示，写出一个合适的英语单词完整、正确的形式，使短文通顺。 During my second year of middle school，our teacher gave us a test, I studied hard and did well in all the s 56 . so the questions were not difficult for me.

Some people may say no, but many experts think we should use it in a good way. They say AI can help us learn better. Zheng Qinghua, president of Tongii University, said it was important for us to use AI in education. He believed that AI could help us learn new things and get better at what we study. He also suggested that young people should improve their understanding of the knowledge through technology. In fact, AI has already become more and more important for teaching and learning. Zheng talked about the common use of different AI tools. These AI tools can help with students’ homework. A survey made by an online learning platform (平台) showed that 89 percent of students had used AI tools to help them with homework. However, some people worry that it may bring bad influence on education. “Instead of just using AI to get answers or finish homework and tests, students should focus on using AI to become creative and develop the ability to solve real-world problems,” said Zheng. Colin Bailey, president of Queen Mary University of London, says that as AI develops fast, stopping AI from being used in schools is not the answer. Instead, we should think about how to use it safely and correctly. People all over the world are working on rules to make sure AI is used in a good way. 66．What did Zheng Qinghua think of using AI in education? 67．How should students use AI according to Paragraph 4? 68．Which university does Colin Bailey work for? 69．Why are people all over the world working on rules for AI? 70．What can AI tools do?

At the age of 7, by chance, she watched a show on TV where many girls were wearing red hanfu and dancing. After that, she often recalled (回想起) that fantastic show. In order to know more about Chinese, she went to China and started her journey of learning Chinese. Language is the bridge of communication (交流) among different people from different countries. At first, she could just use simple words and sentences to talk with others. But many people couldn’t understand her at all, so she was nervous. Then Bella tried her best to practise Chinese by taking part in many speaking activities and using body language. After several months, she could let others know her meaning easily. What’s more, she went to some places of interest and tasted some local food like douzhi. The longer she stayed in China, the more things she found that she didn’t know. That’s because China has a long history and there are also many kinds of cultures (文化). It’s not only difficult but also impossible for her to know everything about Chinese. But... 29．What made Bella get interested in Chinese? A．A fantastic show. B．Places of interest. C．Some local food. D．Chinese movies. 30．How did Bella improve her Chinese? A．By singing Chinese songs.

C．Bella tastes different kinds of food. D．Bella tries to learn more about Chinese. C ①When we talk about communication, we often think of talking with others. But do you know we also talk with ourselves from time to time? For example, your mum asks you what you would like for breakfast. Many foods come to your mind: sandwiches, bread, milk...You think that it would be great to have sandwiches. Until you tell your mum what you want to eat, you are talking with yourself. ②We call this kind of communication intrapersonal (内心的) communication. This can be talking to ourselves, reading, writing, thinking, understanding and remembering something. ③Intrapersonal communication plays a big part in our lives. Good intrapersonal communication allows you to understand yourself better. When you’re comfortable with who you are, and you know what you want, you can better get on with yourself. Also, intrapersonal communication helps you keep an eye on your thoughts and feelings. When you find that your mind is full of bad thoughts and sad feelings, you will try to cheer up and get rid of them. ④What’s more, intrapersonal communication helps you to talk with others. Understanding your thoughts and feelings better allows you to put yourself in others' shoes when you talk to or listen to them. Then, you can better understand and get on with them. 33．How does the writer explain the idea of intrapersonal communication in Paragraph 1? A．He offers some facts. B．He gives an example. C．He shows numbers. D．He asks and answers a question. 34．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．The rules of intrapersonal communication. B．The problems of intrapersonal communication. C．The ways of intrapersonal communication. D．The good points of intrapersonal communication. 35．What’s the structure of the text? A． B． C． D． 36．What is the purpose of the text? A．To tell us what intrapersonal communication is. B．To advise us to talk with others more often. C．To describe the importance of getting on with others. D．To show us how to talk with others. D Every afternoon, as they were coming from school, the children used to go and play in the Giant (巨人)’s garden. It was a large lovely garden, with soft green grass, beautiful flowers and twelve peach trees. The birds sat on the trees and sang so sweetly that the children used to stop their games to listen to them. “How happy we are here!” they cried to each other. One day the Giant came back and saw the children playing in the garden. “What are you doing here?” he cried in a very unfriendly voice, and the children ran away. “My own garden is my own garden,” said the Giant, “I will let nobody play in it but myself.” So he built a high wall all round it. He was a very selfish Giant. The poor children had nowhere to play. They had to walk round the high wall and talk about the beautiful garden inside. “How happy we were there,” they said to each other. Months later, “I cannot understand why the Spring is so late in coming,” said the selfish Giant as he sat at the window and looked out at his cold white garden; “I hope there will be a change in the weather.” But the Spring never came, nor the Summer.

C．I cannot understand why the Spring is so late in coming. D．I hope there will be a change in the weather. 39．What can we infer from the passage? A．The Giant built a high wall around the garden. B．The Giant didn’t expect the coming of Spring. C．The Giant wanted to be warm-hearted. D．The Giant opened his mind in the end. 40．What does the writer want to tell us through the passage? A．Where there is a will, there is a way. B．Bad times make a good man. C．Home is where the heart is. D．Roses given, fragrance in hand. 第二节 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Hobbies and leisure (休闲的) activities are good for us. 41 But it is difficult to find one that can fit into your busy life.
