A young art teacher from China’s Shanxi Province was recently praised online for spending about three months working on a beautiful chalk(粉笔) picture of a traditional masterpiece (杰作).
When Zhao Wenrui, an art teacher in Fanzhi County, decided to draw a chalk version of Along the River during the Qingmins Festival (《清明上河图》), he said that he just wanted to do something interesting for his students. It’s said that he has used eight blackboards side by side, five buckets (桶) of chalk and worked on it for about three months.
Along the River during the Qingming Festival, a five-meter-long picture describing the Song Dynasty capital of Kaifeng during the festival of Qingming, is sometimes called China’s Mona Lisa (《蒙娜丽莎》), and considered by many one of the most important artworks in the country’s history. The work has been copied several times, but the original (原件) is seldom shown because it is quite fragile (易损的), dating back to the 12th century.
Zhao Wenrui’s 32-meter-long chalk version draws around 550 people (farmers from the countryside, boatmen and so on), as well as dozens of animals, buildings, bridges, and the environment itself.
Unfortunately, unlike the real Along the River during the Qingming Festival, this chalk picture will not be around for a thousand years, as the blackboards will be cleaned as soon as the children come back to school.
51．It took Zhao Wenrui ________ to finish the beautiful chalk picture.
A．About 90 days B．about 100 days C．about 110 days D．about 120 days
52．What’s the Chinese meaning of underline word “version”
A．复习 B．版本 C．视野 D. 眼光
53．When was Along the River during the Qingming Festival drawn
A．In the Ming Dynasty B．In the 12th century
C．About fifty-five years ago D. In the Qing Dynasty
54．Which of the following is NOT true about the 32-meter-long chalk version of Along the River during the Qingming Festival
A．It is called China’s Mona Lisa.
B．It won’t be kept for a long time.
C．It was drawn by an art teacher from China’s Shanxi Province.
D. It was drawn by Zhao Wenrui
55．Why won’t the chalk version of Along the River during the Qingming Festival last for a long time
A．Because it is quite fragile.
B．Because many students don’t like it.
C. Because it takes up (占据) too much space.
D．Because the blackboards will be used when students come back to school.
C
In the past few years, cars have become smarter and smarter, In more than nine cities, there are driverless taxis in China. Across the world, many “smart roads” have been in practice, and more are being built. Some new technologies(技术) are being put to use.
● Roads that recharge (给……充电)
Global warming has forced us to search for new energy sources. Why not look to the roads With the right technologies, cars around the world could be producing energy as they go.
Piezoelectric (压电的)roads mix traditional asphalt (柏油)with new materials. They use vibrations ( 震 动 ) from passing cars to produce electricity.
Piezoelectricity, in fact, is nothing new. It was invented in 1880.
However, it has never been widely used before now. Lancaster University is going to change that. It has been improving the technology, including developing roadside batteries that can store the electricity.
● Built-in brain
Roads of the future may be able to know how many people are on them. They could send people updates on weather and traffic situations, and recharge electric cars as they drive.
This seems to be a dream, but a company has almost made it come true. By sensing the weight of a vehicle, the company's smart roads can record the speed of each wheel. After having collected traffic data(数据), the roads will send it to the drivers.
● Roads that never freeze
It can be dangerous to drive in snowy weather. A tech company has developed the snowless roads. When they feel snow or ice on their surfaces, the roads will heat themselves up, melting(使融化) the snow or ice away. The project has been successfully tested on a few roads and in some car parks.
56. What do Piezoelectric roads use to produce electricity
A. Traditional asphalt. B. Batteries in the roadside.
C. Expensive materials. D. Vibrations from passing cars.
57. What does the underlined word “They” refer to
A. Roads of the future. B. People on the road.
C. Traffic situations. D. Electric cars
58. Which of the following can “Built-in brain” do
① Record the speed of wheels. ② Sense the weight of a vehicle.
③ Melt the snow or ice away. ④ Send the traffic data to drivers.
A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ②③④ D. ①③④
59. What are “Roads that never freeze” built for
A. Car parking. B. Vehicle heating. C. Safe driving. D. Electricity storing.
60. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To introduce the “smart roads”. B. To prove the value of electric cars.
C. To describe roadside batteries. D. To show dangers of snowy weather.
D
When you wake up every morning, you need to decide what to wear, what to eat, where to go, how to go, whether to do exercise, etc. Along the road of life, you make many decisions. So you should be careful of decision-making. Making decisions is very important for us. Even one small choice can make a big difference. However, for every choice, big or small, it’s not easy to make the right decision. Here is some advice for you.
Don’t make decisions when you are over-excited, angry, or sad. Staying in high spirits, either positive or negative, can affect your ability to make a good decision. If you can’t stay calm, put off making the decision until you’re thinking clearly.
Most decisions are made better when you have enough information. Do some research(研究) to find out as much as you can about your decision.
There are usually many choices for you, so try to make a list of all the choices. And don’t make decisions until you’ve got a full list of your choices. If you have trouble thinking of all the choices, ask your family or friends for help.
The best way to make a decision is to think about how you’re going to feel about it in the future. Warren Buffet’s 10/10/10 Rule can help you make decisions. It’s really easy and you just remember the three questions: How will you feel about your decision in 10 minutes How about in 10 months How about in 10 years
Of course, if a decision you made is finally found to be wrong, remember life is not always what you want it to be.
61. How does the writer start the text
A. By telling a story. B. By giving a definition (定义).
C. By taking examples. D. By showing different opinions.
62. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage
A. ①/②③④/⑤⑥ B. ①②/③④⑤/⑥
C. ①/②③④⑤/⑥ D. ①/②③/④⑤⑥
63. The best way to make a decision is to ________
A. Do some research. B. Make a list of all the choices.
C. Ask your family or friends for help. D. Think about how you will feel about it in the future.
64. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text
A. Doing some research helps you make better decisions.
B. Let your friends or family make decisions for you.
C. Making decisions has nothing to do with your feelings.
D. Use the 10/10/10 Rule to make a full list of choices.
65. What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph
A. Try not to make wrong decisions. B. Remember the decisions you make.
C. Think twice before making decisions. D. Learn to accept wrong decisions.

(E)
The term “social phobia” (社交恐惧症) seems popular these days. Young people are describing themselves as having “social phobia”. They don’t like going out much, saying that it's hard for them to make new friends. 66.___________________________
In fact, this is just a feeling about certain social situations. Some people don't “read” social situations in the right way. For example, they might be afraid of breaking some kinds of rules.
67.___________________________ But this doesn’t mean they have social phobia.
“Real" social phobia, also known as social anxiety ( 焦虑) is much more serious. People with social anxiety want to go out and communicate with people but are so afraid of doing it that they cannot leave their homes. They can’t communicate with others in a normal way. They can even experience sudden fear. 68.___________________________ Some people use self-help books to help them get more control over their minds. Therapy (心理治疗) also helps a lot.
There's no way to predict what will cause someone to develop social anxiety, but there is something you can do if you're always worried or upset:
*69.___________________________ Anxiety, like many other health conditions, can be harder to treat if you wait.
*Keep a diary. Write down your daily life can help you understand the cause of your stress and what seems to help you feel better.
