Tie another rubber band about 2/3 of the way up from the bottom of the sock to form the body. Tie another rubber band near the top to form the head. Step 3: Decorate Use buttons, beads or small pieces of cloth to create the snowman’s eyes and nose and glue them onto the face with a hot glue gun. Cut a strip of cloth and tie it around the neck of the snowman to make a scarf. Use the left part of the sock if you cut it off earlier to make a hat. 41．Which step will be easier with a funnel (漏斗) ? A．Step 1. B．Step 2. C．Step 3. D．None. 42．How many rubber bands does it need in Step 2 to make a snowman? A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. 43．Where can you read this passage? A．In a DIY magazine. B．In a storybook. C．In a dictionary. D．In a map. B As a country strong in math, China has many folk games. Let’s take a look at three of them. Luban Lock Luban Lock was first made by Lu Ban about 2,000 years ago. It is said that Lu used six wooden pieces to make a toy that looks like a lock for his son. The lock has a lot to do with solid geometry (立体几何). It’s hard to take the six pieces apart. However, it is usually easier to unlock a Luban Lock than to put it back together. Now there are Locks made up of nine or more pieces. Huarong Pass Huarong Pass is a traditional Chinese block puzzle. Every block is named after a character in the book Romance of the three Kingdoms, like Cao Cao, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun. To win the game, players have to move the block to get “Cao Cao” out. This is a test of one’s math knowledge. For example, it takes at least 81 steps to set “Cao Cao” free. Tangram A tangram is a puzzle made up of seven pieces of different shapes, including triangles, squares and parallelograms (平行四边形). For each puzzler, players need to use all the pieces to make a shape. They can make shapes of animals, people or things. To do it, they have to know about geometry. According to China Science Daily, the game was popular in the Ming dynasty. In the 18th century, the tangram was brought to the West and soon became popular there. 44．Which picture shows Lu Ban lock? A． B． C． D． 45．What can you learn from the passage? A．Tangram is popular in both China and Western countries. B．It takes at most 81 steps to set “Cao Cao” free in Huarong Pass. C．Players need to use some of the pieces to make a shape in a tangram. D．It is usually easier to put a Luban Lock back together than to unlock it. 46．Which part of a magazine is the passage most probably taken from? A．Math. B．History. C．Biology. D．Language. C Poems from Tang are very famous in China’s history. Today, I’d like to recommend Song of Autumn, one of the poems by Liu Yuxi, a famous poet and writer in the mid Tang dynasty. Just as shown in the first line of the poem, most ancient poets liked to describe autumn as a sad time, but in this poem the season appears differently. In Liu’s eyes, autumn, full of life and hope, is even better than spring morning. He describes the bright scene of a crane riding the clouds and flying into the blue sky. With his poems paying special attention to expressing personal feelings, as well as the daily life of common people, Liu wrote poems with beautiful music-like words. You may feel it in this poem. Though being translated thoughtfully by experienced Xu Yuanchong, the poem still reads not so beautifully as that in Chinese. I personally think that English is sometimes not so powerful as Chinese. You may find it in this poem. Here is another example. In Liu’s essay An Eulogium on a Humble Cell (《陋室铭》), with less than 100 words, he shows a lively picture of his humble cell. However, it also shows how he was happy with the poor and simple life. People may find it strange that one can feel happy living in such a humble cell. Learning from his famous sentences, “Be fragrant because of my virtues” (斯是陋室，惟吾德馨), I think to be a respectable man is more important than to live in big houses, to wear beautiful clothes, to enjoy delicious food, and even to gain knowledge. 47．Which dynasty was the poem Song of Autumn written in? A．Song B．Tang C．Ming D．Qing 48．What was autumn like in Liu Yuxi’s eyes at that time? A．It was a sad time. B．It was rather cloudy. C．It was not so good as spring. D．It was active and hopeful. 49．In the writer’s opinion, the poem in Chinese is ________ that in English A．as beautiful as B．less beautiful than C．more beautiful than D．not so beautiful as 50．Which of the following does the writer think is more important? A．To be a respectable man. B．To live in a big house. C．To wear beautiful clothes. D．To gain more knowledge. D Carl Allamby started his auto repair business (汽车修理生意) at the age of 19. Over the years it had grown into two shops with 11 workers, but Allamby started to want something more. At first, he thought it must have something to do with growing his business even further. So, at the age of 34, Allamby began to study for a bachelor degree (学士学位) in business management. There was one problem: after taking classes part-time over the next five years, Allamby was told he had to take a biology course to get his degree. “Why do I need to take biology?” he thought. However, the best thing of this requirement (要求) was that it started his childhood dream. “I wanted to be a doctor when I was younger,” Allamby said. “I lost that dream somewhere through high school and life.” He grew up in a poor neighbourhood, and his school didn’t offer the advanced science classes. So he had no chance to study at medical school. Instead, Allamby set aside thoughts of becoming a doctor, and chose a realistic (现实的) job path—fixing cars, which helped support his family. But at age 39 a different Carl Allamby walked into that biology class. He was ready to live his dream. With the support of his wife and family, he quickly chose not to go to business school and instead took science classes to become a healthcare worker. “Becoming a doctor when I am nearly 50 is crazy. I will become a nurse like my wife,” he thought. But Allamby’s biology professor (教授) stopped him after class one day. “Carl,” he said, “you’re like the oldest guy here. What’s your endgame?” Allamby said he’d like to become a doctor, but it would be more practical to aim lower. “Why not a doctor? You have a great talent for the work,” the professor said. “I didn’t even see in myself if my professor hadn’t told me that,” Allamby said. And so, in 2015, Allamby sold his two shops and started medical school at Northeast Ohio Medical University. In 2019, at the age of 47, Carl Allamby became Dr. Carl Allamby. He now works as a doctor at Cleveland Clinic Hillcrest Hospital. “How many people can do something new at such a late stage in their life?” he asks. “My kids respect me, my community respects me. Whether it’s because of my age or my past career—these are all reasons why I shouldn’t be here. And yet, here I am.” 51．Why did Allamby begin to study for a bachelor degree at age 34? A．To develop his business. B．To take part-time jobs. C．To take a biology course. D．To learn to be a doctor. 52．Why did Allamby choose to fix cars at first? A．To accept the school’s requirement. B．To get away being a doctor. C．To help his neighbourhood. D．To help support his family. 53．When did Allamby walk into that biology class? A．In 2011. B．In 2013. C．In 2016. D．In 2017. 54．What does the underlined “to aim lower” mean in Paragraph 4? A．To live his dream. B．To be a doctor. C．To take science classes. D．To be a healthcare worker. 55．Which is the best to describe Allamby? A．A trustworthy nurse. B．A dream-follower. C．A careful businessman. D．An honest healthcare worker. 五、填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） A）请根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使句子意思完整正确。 56．My children attend a(n) ________ (国际的) school where they learn about different cultures and languages. 57．Always remember that, whatever action we take, we shouldn’t go ________ (逆；反对) nature. 58．The advertisement told us very little about this ________ (产品).

Students around the world also have it. Let’s take a look! China  Military training in China usually teaches students things like standing at attention, goose-stepping (正步走) and folding a quilt. Some students say that it is not useful. But some students feel it encourages them to behave more independently and responsibly. The US  US schools don’t force (强迫) students to take military training. If children are interested in the military, they can attend military camps. These activities help children work in a team and encourage them to work out problems together. For example, a group might have the task of climbing over a high wall. If even one person cannot climb over the wall, the whole group needs to do it again. So everyone must help each other and finish the task in groups. The UK  The UK pays attention to military training for students, especially college students. There are Officer Training Corps (军官训练员，OTC) in some universities. They offer chances to students to learn military skills like first aid, weapons (武器) training and radio communications. Students can make money by taking part in military exercises. They can earn up to £60 per day. If they spend more time on the training, they will make more money. Military training 71 Activities Advantages China Students learn 72 to stand at attention, do the goose-stepping and fold quilts. It encourages students to be more 73 and responsible. The US ·Students finish tasks 74 , such as climbing over a high wall. ·If even one person 75 , the whole group needs to do it again. It helps students to learn about 76 . The UK ·OTC in some universities 77 students with different skills. ·The 78 they join in the activity, the more money they will earn. It makes students skilled and experienced. Your ideas What can Chinese Military training teach students? 79 What do you think of the Military training? Why? 80 七、阅读填空。根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。（共10小题；每小题1分；满分10分） In the summer holiday, Wen Jiayi made a good friend. The good friend is not a person, but a panda! His name is Jingke. Wen spent three days with him, learning how he ate, slept and played. Wen worked as a volunteer at the Wolong National Nature Reserve in Sichuan. Every year, volunteers go to the nature reserve to take care of its pandas. People aged 12-65 can apply for (申请) the volunteer programme. Each volunteer works for at l 81 one day. Wen cleaned the panda’s home every morning while she was volunteering. “We have to c 82 the pandas’ excrement (粪便), as it can tell us what the pandas have been eating and whether they are h 83 or not,” she said, “The panda keepers analyse (分析) the excrement every day.” Wen got to do this as w 84 . She c 85 analysed the excrement. “We check what is in the excrement and what colour it is. For example, if it is g 86 , it means that panda has been eating bamboo leaves.” she said. The experience also helped the volunteers better u 87 pandas. When Wen fed Jingke, she touched his fur. “It is not s 88 , but hard. It is like touching needles (针)!” Wen said.

Let’s take a look at three of them. Luban Lock Luban Lock was first made by Lu Ban about 2,000 years ago. It is said that Lu used six wooden pieces to make a toy that looks like a lock for his son. The lock has a lot to do with solid geometry (立体几何). It’s hard to take the six pieces apart. However, it is usually easier to unlock a Luban Lock than to put it back together. Now there are Locks made up of nine or more pieces. Huarong Pass Huarong Pass is a traditional Chinese block puzzle. Every block is named after a character in the book Romance of the three Kingdoms, like Cao Cao, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun. To win the game, players have to move the block to get “Cao Cao” out. This is a test of one’s math knowledge. For example, it takes at least 81 steps to set “Cao Cao” free. Tangram A tangram is a puzzle made up of seven pieces of different shapes, including triangles, squares and parallelograms (平行四边形). For each puzzler, players need to use all the pieces to make a shape. They can make shapes of animals, people or things. To do it, they have to know about geometry. According to China Science Daily, the game was popular in the Ming dynasty. In the 18th century, the tangram was brought to the West and soon became popular there. 44．Which picture shows Lu Ban lock? A． B． C． D． 45．What can you learn from the passage? A．Tangram is popular in both China and Western countries. B．It takes at most 81 steps to set “Cao Cao” free in Huarong Pass. C．Players need to use some of the pieces to make a shape in a tangram. D．It is usually easier to put a Luban Lock back together than to unlock it. 46．Which part of a magazine is the passage most probably taken from? A．Math. B．History. C．Biology. D．Language. 【答案】44．C 45．A 46．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国的三种与数学相关的传统民间游戏：鲁班锁、华容道和七巧板。 【详解】44．细节理解题。根据“Luban Lock was first made by Lu Ban about 2,000 years ago. It is said that Lu used six wooden pieces to make a toy that looks like a lock for his son. The lock has a lot to do with solid geometry (立体几何).”可知，鲁班锁是一个用六根木条制作的看起来像锁的玩具，故选C。 45．细节理解题。根据最后一段“According to China Science Daily, the game was popular in the Ming dynasty. In the 18th century, the tangram was brought to the West and soon became popular there.”可知，七巧板在中国和西方国家都很受欢迎。故选A。 46．推理判断题。根据“As a country strong in math, China has many folk games.”以及通读全文可知，全文围绕三种与数学（几何）相关的传统游戏展开，因此最可能出自杂志的“数学”板块。故选A。 C Poems from Tang are very famous in China’s history. Today, I’d like to recommend Song of Autumn, one of the poems by Liu Yuxi, a famous poet and writer in the mid Tang dynasty. Just as shown in the first line of the poem, most ancient poets liked to describe autumn as a sad time, but in this poem the season appears differently. In Liu’s eyes, autumn, full of life and hope, is even better than spring morning. He describes the bright scene of a crane riding the clouds and flying into the blue sky. With his poems paying special attention to expressing personal feelings, as well as the daily life of common people, Liu wrote poems with beautiful music-like words. You may feel it in this poem. Though being translated thoughtfully by experienced Xu Yuanchong, the poem still reads not so beautifully as that in Chinese. I personally think that English is sometimes not so powerful as Chinese. You may find it in this poem. Here is another example. In Liu’s essay An Eulogium on a Humble Cell (《陋室铭》), with less than 100 words, he shows a lively picture of his humble cell. However, it also shows how he was happy with the poor and simple life. People may find it strange that one can feel happy living in such a humble cell. Learning from his famous sentences, “Be fragrant because of my virtues” (斯是陋室，惟吾德馨), I think to be a respectable man is more important than to live in big houses, to wear beautiful clothes, to enjoy delicious food, and even to gain knowledge. 47．Which dynasty was the poem Song of Autumn written in? A．Song B．Tang C．Ming D．Qing 48．What was autumn like in Liu Yuxi’s eyes at that time? A．It was a sad time. B．It was rather cloudy. C．It was not so good as spring. D．It was active and hopeful. 49．In the writer’s opinion, the poem in Chinese is ________ that in English A．as beautiful as B．less beautiful than C．more beautiful than D．not so beautiful as 50．Which of the following does the writer think is more important? A．To be a respectable man. B．To live in a big house. C．To wear beautiful clothes. D．To gain more knowledge. 【答案】47．B 48．D 49．C 50．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了唐代诗人刘禹锡的《秋词》的意境之美和《陋室铭》给作者带来的感悟。 【详解】47．细节理解题。根据“Today, I’d like to recommend Song of Autumn, one of the poems by Liu Yuxi, a famous poet and writer in the mid Tang dynasty.”可知，Song of Autumn写于唐代。故选B。 48．细节理解题。根据“In Liu’s eyes, autumn, full of life and hope, is even better than spring morning.”可知，在刘看来，秋天是充满希望的季节。故选D。 49．细节理解题。根据“Though being translated thoughtfully by experienced Xu Yuanchong, the poem still reads not so beautifully as that in Chinese. I personally think that English is sometimes not so powerful as Chinese.”可知，作者认为中文的诗要比英文更美。故选C。 50．细节理解题。根据“I think to be a respectable man is more important than to live in big houses,”可知，作者认为做一个受人尊敬的人更重要。故选A。 D Carl Allamby started his auto repair business (汽车修理生意) at the age of 19. Over the years it had grown into two shops with 11 workers, but Allamby started to want something more. At first, he thought it must have something to do with growing his business even further. So, at the age of 34, Allamby began to study for a bachelor degree (学士学位) in business management. There was one problem: after taking classes part-time over the next five years, Allamby was told he had to take a biology course to get his degree. “Why do I need to take biology?” he thought. However, the best thing of this requirement (要求) was that it started his childhood dream. “I wanted to be a doctor when I was younger,” Allamby said. “I lost that dream somewhere through high school and life.” He grew up in a poor neighbourhood, and his school didn’t offer the advanced science classes. So he had no chance to study at medical school. Instead, Allamby set aside thoughts of becoming a doctor, and chose a realistic (现实的) job path—fixing cars, which helped support his family. But at age 39 a different Carl Allamby walked into that biology class. He was ready to live his dream. With the support of his wife and family, he quickly chose not to go to business school and instead took science classes to become a healthcare worker. “Becoming a doctor when I am nearly 50 is crazy. I will become a nurse like my wife,” he thought. But Allamby’s biology professor (教授) stopped him after class one day. “Carl,” he said, “you’re like the oldest guy here. What’s your endgame?” Allamby said he’d like to become a doctor, but it would be more practical to aim lower. “Why not a doctor? You have a great talent for the work,” the professor said. “I didn’t even see in myself if my professor hadn’t told me that,” Allamby said. And so, in 2015, Allamby sold his two shops and started medical school at Northeast Ohio Medical University. In 2019, at the age of 47, Carl Allamby became Dr. Carl Allamby. He now works as a doctor at Cleveland Clinic Hillcrest Hospital. “How many people can do something new at such a late stage in their life?” he asks. “My kids respect me, my community respects me. Whether it’s because of my age or my past career—these are all reasons why I shouldn’t be here. And yet, here I am.” 51．Why did Allamby begin to study for a bachelor degree at age 34? A．To develop his business. B．To take part-time jobs. C．To take a biology course. D．To learn to be a doctor. 52．Why did Allamby choose to fix cars at first? A．To accept the school’s requirement. B．To get away being a doctor. C．To help his neighbourhood. D．To help support his family. 53．When did Allamby walk into that biology class? A．In 2011. B．In 2013. C．In 2016. D．In 2017. 54．What does the underlined “to aim lower” mean in Paragraph 4? A．To live his dream. B．To be a doctor. C．To take science classes. D．To be a healthcare worker. 55．Which is the best to describe Allamby? A．A trustworthy nurse. B．A dream-follower. C．A careful businessman. D．An honest healthcare worker. 【答案】51．A 52．D 53．A 54．D 55．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Carl Allamby从经营汽车修理生意到追求儿时梦想成为医生的励志故事。他最初为发展事业攻读工商管理学士学位，后因课程要求重拾儿时梦想，最终在家人支持下放弃原有事业，通过努力成为了一名医生。 【详解】51．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“So, at the age of 34, Allamby began to study for a bachelor degree (学士学位) in business management.”以及前文“but Allamby started to want something more. At first, he thought it must have something to do with growing his business even further.”可知，Allamby在34岁时开始攻读工商管理学士学位是为了进一步发展他的生意。故选A。 52．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Instead, Allamby set aside thoughts of becoming a doctor, and chose a realistic (现实的) job path—fixing cars, which helped support his family.”可知，Allamby最初选择修理汽车是为了帮助养家。故选D。 53．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“But at age 39 a different Carl Allamby walked into that biology class.”以及后文“In 2019, at the age of 47, Carl Allamby became Dr. Carl Allamby. He now works as a doctor at Cleveland Clinic Hillcrest Hospital.”可知，Carl Allamby出生于1972年 (2019-47)，所以他39岁上生物课是在2011年 (1972+39)。故选A。 54．词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“With the support of his wife and family, he quickly chose not to go to business school and instead took science classes to become a healthcare worker.”以及“Allamby said he’d like to become a doctor, but it would be more practical to aim lower.”可知，Allamby原本想成为医生，但觉得更实际的是目标低一点，结合前文他选择成为医疗工作者，可推断出“to aim lower”指的是成为一名医疗工作者。故选D。 55．推理判断题。根据文章整体内容，Allamby从经营汽车修理生意到追求儿时梦想成为医生，克服了重重困难，最终实现了自己的梦想，因此用“梦想追随者”来描述他最为合适。故选B。 五、填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） A）请根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使句子意思完整正确。 56．My children attend a(n) ________ (国际的) school where they learn about different cultures and languages. 【答案】 international 【详解】句意：我的孩子们就读于一所国际学校，在那里他们学习不同的文化和语言。“国际的”international，该词为形容词，此处用于修饰名词school，故填international。 57．Always remember that, whatever action we take, we shouldn’t go ________ (逆；反对) nature. 【答案】 against 【详解】句意：永远记住，无论我们采取什么行动，都不应该违背自然。此处表示“逆；反对”用介词“against”，“go against”是固定搭配，意为“违背”，故填against。 58．The advertisement told us very little about this ________ (产品). So, we need to find out more about it before buying. 【答案】 product 【详解】句意：这则广告几乎没向我们介绍这款产品。所以我们在购买前需要多了解一下它。product名词，意为 “产品”，符合本句语境。this后接可数名词单数，因此直接用原形product。故填product。 59．He is a welcome talk show host because his language is easy to understand, ________ (幽默的), and full of life. 【答案】humorous 【详解】句意：他是一位受欢迎的脱口秀主持人，因为他的语言易于理解、幽默且充满活力。根据汉语提示可知，“幽默的”的英文为humorous，为形容词。故填humorous。 60．We all hope we have a pleasant ________ (环境) so that we can focus better on our lessons every day. 【答案】 environment 【详解】句意：我们都希望拥有舒适的环境，这样我们每天可以更加专心上课。pleasant是形容词，形容词后面修饰名词；中文提示“环境”，常用名词environment表示。 B）请根据句子意思，用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空。 61．My father always marks my ________ (high) on the wall.

They liked Harbin so much. 【答案】Germans 【详解】句意：去年寒假，我们在哈尔滨遇到了一些德国人。他们非常喜欢哈尔滨。根据“They liked Harbin so much.”可知此处指人，德国人，some后接复数。German复数加s。故填Germans。 65．Some Asian countries have long known about the ________ (great) of ancient Chinese culture. 【答案】 greatness 【详解】句意：一些亚洲国家很早就知晓中国古代文化的博大精深。great是形容词，意为“伟大的”，定冠词the后面需要使用名词，great对应的名词形式为greatness。故填greatness。 C）根据短文内容，从下面方框中选择适当的单词或词组填空，使短文内容完整正确。 depend on;   keep;   stop;   guide;  move forward;   fall behind DeepSeek is a smart tool that helps students study better.

Students around the world also have it. Let’s take a look! China  Military training in China usually teaches students things like standing at attention, goose-stepping (正步走) and folding a quilt. Some students say that it is not useful. But some students feel it encourages them to behave more independently and responsibly. The US  US schools don’t force (强迫) students to take military training. If children are interested in the military, they can attend military camps. These activities help children work in a team and encourage them to work out problems together. For example, a group might have the task of climbing over a high wall. If even one person cannot climb over the wall, the whole group needs to do it again. So everyone must help each other and finish the task in groups. The UK  The UK pays attention to military training for students, especially college students. There are Officer Training Corps (军官训练员，OTC) in some universities. They offer chances to students to learn military skills like first aid, weapons (武器) training and radio communications. Students can make money by taking part in military exercises. They can earn up to £60 per day. If they spend more time on the training, they will make more money.

It is said that Lu used six wooden pieces to make a toy that looks like a lock for his son. The lock has a lot to do with solid geometry (立体几何). It’s hard to take the six pieces apart. However, it is usually easier to unlock a Luban Lock than to put it back together. Now there are Locks made up of nine or more pieces. Huarong Pass Huarong Pass is a traditional Chinese block puzzle. Every block is named after a character in the book Romance of the three Kingdoms, like Cao Cao, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun. To win the game, players have to move the block to get “Cao Cao” out. This is a test of one’s math knowledge. For example, it takes at least 81 steps to set “Cao Cao” free. Tangram A tangram is a puzzle made up of seven pieces of different shapes, including triangles, squares and parallelograms (平行四边形). For each puzzler, players need to use all the pieces to make a shape. They can make shapes of animals, people or things. To do it, they have to know about geometry. According to China Science Daily, the game was popular in the Ming dynasty. In the 18th century, the tangram was brought to the West and soon became popular there. 44．Which picture shows Lu Ban lock? A． B． C． D． 45．What can you learn from the passage? A．Tangram is popular in both China and Western countries. B．It takes at most 81 steps to set “Cao Cao” free in Huarong Pass. C．Players need to use some of the pieces to make a shape in a tangram. D．It is usually easier to put a Luban Lock back together than to unlock it. 46．Which part of a magazine is the passage most probably taken from? A．Math. B．History. C．Biology. D．Language. C Poems from Tang are very famous in China’s history. Today, I’d like to recommend Song of Autumn, one of the poems by Liu Yuxi, a famous poet and writer in the mid Tang dynasty. Just as shown in the first line of the poem, most ancient poets liked to describe autumn as a sad time, but in this poem the season appears differently. In Liu’s eyes, autumn, full of life and hope, is even better than spring morning. He describes the bright scene of a crane riding the clouds and flying into the blue sky. With his poems paying special attention to expressing personal feelings, as well as the daily life of common people, Liu wrote poems with beautiful music-like words. You may feel it in this poem. Though being translated thoughtfully by experienced Xu Yuanchong, the poem still reads not so beautifully as that in Chinese. I personally think that English is sometimes not so powerful as Chinese. You may find it in this poem. Here is another example. In Liu’s essay An Eulogium on a Humble Cell (《陋室铭》), with less than 100 words, he shows a lively picture of his humble cell. However, it also shows how he was happy with the poor and simple life. People may find it strange that one can feel happy living in such a humble cell. Learning from his famous sentences, “Be fragrant because of my virtues” (斯是陋室，惟吾德馨), I think to be a respectable man is more important than to live in big houses, to wear beautiful clothes, to enjoy delicious food, and even to gain knowledge. 47．Which dynasty was the poem Song of Autumn written in? A．Song B．Tang C．Ming D．Qing 48．What was autumn like in Liu Yuxi’s eyes at that time? A．It was a sad time. B．It was rather cloudy. C．It was not so good as spring. D．It was active and hopeful. 49．In the writer’s opinion, the poem in Chinese is ________ that in English A．as beautiful as B．less beautiful than C．more beautiful than D．not so beautiful as 50．Which of the following does the writer think is more important? A．To be a respectable man. B．To live in a big house. C．To wear beautiful clothes. D．To gain more knowledge. D Carl Allamby started his auto repair business (汽车修理生意) at the age of 19. Over the years it had grown into two shops with 11 workers, but Allamby started to want something more. At first, he thought it must have something to do with growing his business even further. So, at the age of 34, Allamby began to study for a bachelor degree (学士学位) in business management. There was one problem: after taking classes part-time over the next five years, Allamby was told he had to take a biology course to get his degree. “Why do I need to take biology?” he thought. However, the best thing of this requirement (要求) was that it started his childhood dream. “I wanted to be a doctor when I was younger,” Allamby said. “I lost that dream somewhere through high school and life.” He grew up in a poor neighbourhood, and his school didn’t offer the advanced science classes. So he had no chance to study at medical school. Instead, Allamby set aside thoughts of becoming a doctor, and chose a realistic (现实的) job path—fixing cars, which helped support his family. But at age 39 a different Carl Allamby walked into that biology class. He was ready to live his dream. With the support of his wife and family, he quickly chose not to go to business school and instead took science classes to become a healthcare worker. “Becoming a doctor when I am nearly 50 is crazy. I will become a nurse like my wife,” he thought. But Allamby’s biology professor (教授) stopped him after class one day. “Carl,” he said, “you’re like the oldest guy here. What’s your endgame?” Allamby said he’d like to become a doctor, but it would be more practical to aim lower. “Why not a doctor? You have a great talent for the work,” the professor said. “I didn’t even see in myself if my professor hadn’t told me that,” Allamby said. And so, in 2015, Allamby sold his two shops and started medical school at Northeast Ohio Medical University. In 2019, at the age of 47, Carl Allamby became Dr. Carl Allamby. He now works as a doctor at Cleveland Clinic Hillcrest Hospital. “How many people can do something new at such a late stage in their life?” he asks. “My kids respect me, my community respects me. Whether it’s because of my age or my past career—these are all reasons why I shouldn’t be here. And yet, here I am.” 51．Why did Allamby begin to study for a bachelor degree at age 34? A．To develop his business. B．To take part-time jobs. C．To take a biology course. D．To learn to be a doctor. 52．Why did Allamby choose to fix cars at first? A．To accept the school’s requirement. B．To get away being a doctor. C．To help his neighbourhood. D．To help support his family. 53．When did Allamby walk into that biology class? A．In 2011. B．In 2013. C．In 2016. D．In 2017. 54．What does the underlined “to aim lower” mean in Paragraph 4? A．To live his dream. B．To be a doctor. C．To take science classes. D．To be a healthcare worker. 55．Which is the best to describe Allamby? A．A trustworthy nurse. B．A dream-follower. C．A careful businessman. D．An honest healthcare worker. 五、填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） A）请根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使句子意思完整正确。 56．My children attend a(n) ________ (国际的) school where they learn about different cultures and languages. 57．Always remember that, whatever action we take, we shouldn’t go ________ (逆；反对) nature. 58．The advertisement told us very little about this ________ (产品).

Students around the world also have it. Let’s take a look! China  Military training in China usually teaches students things like standing at attention, goose-stepping (正步走) and folding a quilt. Some students say that it is not useful. But some students feel it encourages them to behave more independently and responsibly. The US  US schools don’t force (强迫) students to take military training. If children are interested in the military, they can attend military camps. These activities help children work in a team and encourage them to work out problems together. For example, a group might have the task of climbing over a high wall. If even one person cannot climb over the wall, the whole group needs to do it again. So everyone must help each other and finish the task in groups. The UK  The UK pays attention to military training for students, especially college students. There are Officer Training Corps (军官训练员，OTC) in some universities. They offer chances to students to learn military skills like first aid, weapons (武器) training and radio communications. Students can make money by taking part in military exercises. They can earn up to £60 per day. If they spend more time on the training, they will make more money.
