19、els from Ming and Qing dynasties are very famous in Chinas history. Today, Id like to recommend Song of Autumn, one of the poems by Liu Yuxi (772842), 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 t

20、ime, but in this poem the season appears differently. In Lius 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

21、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 po

22、werful as Chinese.Here is another example, in Lius 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 pleased with the poor and simple life. People may find it strange that one can feel happy living in s

23、uch a humble cell. Learning from his famous sentence, “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.28How was autumn in Lius eyes at that ti

24、me?AHe thought it was a sad time.BHe thought that autumn was rather cloudy.CHe thought spring was better.DHe thought autumn was a hopeful season.29Which of the following is the feature of Liu Yuxis works according to the passage?AExpressing personal feelings.BDescribing daily life of young people.CP

26、in a big house.CTo wear beautiful clothes.DTo gain more knowledge.Pinocchio had a fever. The Fairy (仙女) took a glass of water with medicine and said lovingly to Pinocchio, “Drink this, and youll be up and well.”Pinocchio looked at the glass worried and said, “Id rather die than drink that awful medi

27、cine.” At that moment, the door of the room flew open and in came four rabbits as black as ink, carrying a small black coffin (棺材) on their shoulders.“What do you want?” asked Pinocchio.“We have come for you,” said the largest rabbit.“Oh, Fairy, my Fairy,” Pinocchio cried out, “Give me that glass! Q

28、uick, please! I dont want to die.” And holding the glass with his two hands, he swallowed (吞下) the medicine quickly. Then the rabbits left.After that, the Fairy added, “Pinocchio, tell me how you were in the hands of the robbers last time.”“I had five gold pieces to give to my father, but on the way

29、 I met two robbers. They tied my neck with a rope and hung me to a tree.” said Pinocchio.“Where are the gold pieces now?” the Fairy asked.“I lost them,” answered Pinocchio. As he spoke, his nose became at least two inches longer.“And where did you lose them?”“In the wood nearby.” At this second lie,

30、 his nose grew a few more inches.“If you lost them in the nearby wood,” said the Fairy, “well look for them and find them.”“Ah, now I remember,” replied Pinocchio, “I did not lose the gold pieces, but I swallowed them.”At this lie, his nose became longer than ever. The Fairy sat, looking at him and

31、laughing.“Why do you laugh?” Pinocchio asked her. He stared in disbelief at the sight of his growing nose.“I am laughing at your lies.”“How do you know I am lying?”“Lies, my boy, are known in a moment. There are two kinds of lies, lies with short legs and lies with long noses. Yours just happen to h

32、ave long noses.”32Who came in when the door of the room flew open?AThe Fairy.BFour black rabbits.CPinocchios father.DTwo robbers.33How many lies did Pinocchio tell to the Fairy?AOne.BTwo.CThree.DFour.34How did Pinocchios feelings change in the story?AangryexcitedsurprisedBworriedscaredshockedCworrie

33、dsurprisedexcitedDangryconfusedregretful35What can we infer from the passage?APinocchio must have given the gold pieces to the two robbers.BPinocchios legs would get shorter if he continued to tell lies.CThe Fairy would ask Pinocchio to give the gold pieces to his father.DPinocchio had neither lost

34、the five gold pieces nor swallowed them.Temperature Goes Up UndergroundAs climate change brings dangers to people, we are now facing another problemunderground climate change.With the development of cities, the rising underground temperature is causing the ground to heat up and deform（变形）, reported

35、by a study team from Northwestern University. In the last three years, the team had put more than 150 temperature sensors（感应器）under Chicago. The temperatures they recorded were surprising. For example, the team created computer models to see how temperatures will influence the ground until 2051.The

36、models showed, when heated, the ground may go up by as much as 1.2 centimeters, or go down by as much as 0.8 centimeters. This may even cause the ground to break up, leaving people who live and work above in dangerous situations.However, Rotta Loria, who led the study, said in a report, “It takes a

37、long time to see the bad effects.” As scientists have already known a lot about underground climate change, future plans for cities should be considered. Materials that take in heat can be used to keep the heat from entering the ground.The team also pointed out that the rising temperature could be s

38、een as an opportunity. City planners can try to collect heat underground and send it above for heating.36According to the passage, what may NOT happen to the ground when heated? AIt may go up.BIt may go down.CIt may break up.DIt may become smaller.37How does the writer develop his idea in paragraph

39、2?ABy telling a story.BBy giving an example.CBy showing a picture.DBy raising a question.38What can we infer from the passage?AThe underground heat may be used to warm the house in winter.BClimate change influences the underground temperature.CThe underground temperature has risen to 25.DThe rising

40、underground temperature is causing the ground to heat up.39Which is the best structure of this passage?ABCD四、补全对话阅读下面对话，从7个选项中选择5个恰当的句子完成此对话，并把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。A: What did you do on your vacation?B: I went to visit my aunt in Beijing.A: 40 I heard that Beijing is famous for its delicious food.B: 41 A

43、education is highly valued in Germany, and many schools offer music classes. There are also chances for children to join music programs or private lessons outside of school. Common instruments that children learn in Germany include the piano, violin, guitar, etc. For example, I started learning the
