One night as I went to the supermarket to buy some groceries（日用品）, something unusual happened to me.It made me review the meaning of life.
As soon as I went through the glass doors, I could tell something unusual was happening at the cash register（收银台）. I saw a cashier taking a few items （物品）out of a customer’s bag. The shopper was an old woman. I couldn’t even begin to describe to you how sad this woman looked. I stood there for a second and quickly realized that the cashier was taking items off the bill to cut down the payment.
I walked quickly over to the cash register, pointed to the items that she was about to put behind her and then pointed at my bag, showing that I would pay for them. She understood. After putting those items back in the bag at the register, she again went to help the woman with her card, but it still didn’t work. I looked at the screen to see the number, took some cash out of my bag, handed it to the cashier and then quickly walked away.
The old woman was a bit nervous about her card and didn’t notice me at all. When the cashier told her that she didn’t have to pay a cent, she was confused（茫然的）.
I didn’t walk back into the supermarket, but I felt so proud. I was really happy that I was able to help the old woman out and hopefully bring some joy and happiness into her life.
What is happiness As you can imagine, there are a lot of answers. Some people say that giving is a kind of happiness; it gives people warmth and joy. Some people say that harvest is a kind of happiness; it makes you realize the joy and excitement after the harvest. But I think to help others is a kind of happiness.

Many people think of traditional arts, they think of music. And, in China one of the most famous traditional artists is Tan Dun.
Tan Dun was born in a small village near Changsha, Hunan in 1957. He spent his early childhood with his grandmother. He worked as a violin player and arranger for a Beijing Opera troupe(京剧团). At the age of nineteen, he heard Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony(贝多芬第五交响乐) for the first time and decided to be a composer(作曲家). When he was twenty, he studied music in Beijing. In the middle of 1980s, Tan Dun had a further study on music at Columbia University. Since then, he has lived in New York.
Tan Dun once said in an interview that he only studied Eastern music before the age of twenty, and after twenty he started to be educated in Western music. And by the age of thirty, he deeply understood both traditions. The educational experience gave him the power to create excellent works that connect the traditional and the modern, the East and the West.
Tan Dun has two great inspirations(灵感) for his music. The first is to join together Western and Chinese music. For example, his music for the Beijing Olympics in 2008 came from an old Chinese song and used both traditional Chinese and Western musical tools. His second is to use natural sounds in his music. For example, he created a piece called The Water Concerto in 1998. All the sounds used in the music are made with water.
With his music, Tan Dun tries to find the balance of the music between the East and the West as well as the music and nature.
18. In which year did Tan Dun make a decision to be a composer
A. In 1957. B. In 1976. C. In 1980. D. In 1998.
19. Which of the following about Tan Dun is NOT correct
A. Tan Dun tries to find the balance in his music.
B. Tan Dun didn’t start to study western music until twenty.
C. Tan Dun is one of the most famous traditional artists in China.
D. Tan Dun created the Olympic music with modern western tools.
20. What does the underlined phrase “the educational experience” in the third paragraph refer to
A. He spent his early childhood with his grandmother.
B. When he was twenty, he studied music in Beijing.
C. His further study on music at a foreign university.
D. His study background in both China and America.
31. Which are the two inspirations for Tan Dun’s music
① join together western and Chinese music ② an old Chinese song
③ use natural sound in music ④ use water sounds in music
A. ①② B. ①③ C. ②③ D. ②④

19.推理判断题。根据“For example, his music for the Beijing Olympics in 2008 came from an old Chinese song and used both traditional Chinese and Western musical tools.”可知，他为2008年北京奥运会创作的音乐来自一首古老的中国歌曲，并使用了中国和西方的传统音乐工具，D表述错误，故选D。
20.词义猜测题。根据“Tan Dun once said in an interview that he only studied Eastern music before the age of twenty, and after twenty he started to be educated in Western music. And by the age of thirty, he deeply understood both traditions.”可知，划线部分是指他在中国和美国的学习背景，故选D。

Wuyi Rock Tea is a kind of Oolong tea. It got its name from the place where it’s produced—Wuyi Mountain in Fujian Province. The tea trees usually grow on rock cracks（缝隙）. The traditional home of Rock Tea is only from a small area in the mountain. Wuyi Rock Tea is famous for its rich smell and good flavour. There are different kinds. The best is Dahongpao.
With its long history, Wuyi Rock Tea dates back to the Shang Dynasty. People used to send it to the emperor as a tribute（贡品）. In 2006, the skills of making Wuyi Rock Tea were added to China’s national intangible cultural heritage list.
Zhang Huichun, 65, is a master of making Wuyi Rock Tea. In 1980, he learned to make the tea and opened a tea factory. To his surprise, the skills were very complex. After 10 years of learning, he could finally make the tea by himself. Zhang said there were 13 steps to make it, including drying, shaking and roasting（焙火）. The most challenging for him is shaking. It takes strength and patience to shake the tea leaves by holding the round bamboo trays. “You have to decide when the best time is to stop based on the color,” Zhang said. “Sometimes you stop after shaking dozens of（几十）times, while sometimes it can be hundreds of times. Only years of experience can help you figure it out（弄明白）.”
“The last step—roasting—is also important. With three stages, it usually takes more than 20 hours! Each stage needs temperatures from 125℃ to 155℃. Tea makers have to keep a close eye on the process. Every 50 minutes, you have to turn over the leaves, or it might burn,” Zhang said.
Zhang is already a master, but he is still learning. “The most fascinating part is that every step is full of changes—different tea trees, weather and temperatures. Every time is an adventure.”
In recent years, Zhang has often worked with schools to train tea makers. “It’s my responsibility to pass on the traditional skills,” he said.
22. Wuyi Rock Tea got its name from ________.
A. a mountain B. rock cracks C. its smell D. tea trees
23. The underlined word “complex” in paragraph 3 most probably means ________.
A. special B. difficult C. strange D. clever
24. Why is shaking the most challenging step according to Zhang Huichun
A. Tea makers need years of experience in order to tell when to stop shaking.
B. Tea makers have to shake hundreds of times in order to get the right colour.
C. Tea makers need to spend more than 20 hours shaking the tree leaves.
D. Tea makers have to keep a close eye on the leaves, or it will burn.
25. Which can be the best title of this passage
A. Wuyi Mountain is calling B. The history of the famous tea
C. Wuyi Rock Tea—traditional treasure D. Schools try to pass on the traditional tea
【答案】22. A 23. B 24. A 25. C
【解析】本文主要介绍了武夷岩茶的特点和制作过程。
22.细节理解题。根据“Wuyi Rock Tea is a kind of Oolong tea. It got its name from the place where it’s produced—Wuyi Mountain in Fujian Province.”可知，武夷岩茶是乌龙茶的一种。它的名字来源于它的产地——福建武夷山。故选A。
23.词句猜测题。根据“To his surprise, the skills were very complex. After 10 years of learning, he could finally make the tea by himself.”可知，令他惊讶的是，这些技巧非常复杂。经过十年的学习，他终于可以自己泡茶了。因此complex意为“复杂的”，此处指制茶工艺是很难的，与difficult同义。故选B。
24.细节理解题。根据“Sometimes you stop after shaking dozens of（几十）times, while sometimes it can be hundreds of times. Only years of experience can help you figure it out（弄明白）.”可知，有时候摇了几十次就停了，有时候摇了几百次。只有多年的经验才能帮你弄清楚。由此可知张回春认为，摇晃是最具挑战性的一步，因为制茶师需要多年的经验才能知道何时停止摇晃。故选A。
25.最佳标题题。通读全文，可知这篇短文主要介绍了武夷岩茶的特点和制作过程。选项C“武夷岩茶——传统瑰宝”作为标题最为合适。故选C。

47.句意：这意味着洗掉里面的垃圾，带走金属、纸或塑料标签。此空与washing构成并列关系，故此空也应填动名词，故填taking。
48.句意：是时候把不同种类的玻璃分开回收利用了。It is time to do sth“是做某事的时候了”，动词不定式作定语，故填to separate。
49.句意：例如，彩色玻璃和透明玻璃是两种不同的玻璃，非食品容器不能与食品容器混合。mix with“与……混合”，固定搭配，故填with。
50.句意：下一步，玻璃将被送往一台机器，在那里它被分解成小块。be broken down into“被分解成”，固定搭配，故填into。
51.句意：一些特殊的工具被用来拿走剩余的金属和小的纸标签。tool“工具”，可数名词，some修饰可数名词的复数形式，故填tools。
52.句意：碎玻璃变得干净多了。become后接形容词作表语，much修饰比较级，故填cleaner。
53.句意：完成后的碎玻璃再作为原料卖给其他工厂。根据“Finished cullet is then sold to other factories … a material”可知，作为原料卖给其他工厂，as“作为”，故填as。

阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文章后的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
My name is Katie. I think everybody should take care of the environment. I live in Edmonton. It is a city in Canada. The air and water are clean in Edmonton, but sometimes people waste a lot.
What do we waste the most Paper, I think. People waste water, too. I don't want to waste water. I try to save water in many ways. I take short showers. I often check to make sure there aren't any leaks, and I never forget to turn off the tap.
Do we recycle at home Yes! We sort our pop cans, beer bottles and waste paper. A truck picks up our recycling every week. It is made into new things. We reuse our plastic bags, too. We use them again and again, or we put other garbage in them.
Cars and factories make the most pollution. I think there are too many cars in Edmonton. More people should ride bikes or take buses. I ride my bike to school every day. Unlike other types of transportation, a bike doesn't make any pollution. Buses make some pollution, but lots of people can travel on a bus. Buses make less pollution than cars.
In fact, if each of us makes a small change in our life, we can make a big difference to our environment. It's not too hard to protect the environment. We just need to try.
54. How often does a truck pick up our recycling
____________________________________________________________
55. Why should people ride bikes or take buses
____________________________________________________________
56. Do you think we should recycle at home Why or why not
____________________________________________________________
【答案】54. Every week.
55. Because a bike doesn’t make any pollution and buses make less pollution than cars.
56. Yes, because it’s not too hard to protect the environment. We just need to try. (Yes. Because we can make a big difference to our environment if each of us makes a small change in our life.) No, because I think it’s too hard to recycle the waste.
【解析】本文介绍了我们生活中的各种浪费行为；我们在家可以如何循环利用垃圾；我们应该骑自行车或乘坐公交车去上学，这样产生的污染会更少；以及如果我们每个人都能在生活中做出一点小改变，我们就能给环境带来很大改变等内容。
54.根据“A truck picks up our recycling every week.”可知，每周都有一辆卡车来回收我们的垃圾。故此处为Every week.
55.根据“Unlike other types of transportation, a bike doesn't make any pollution. Buses make some pollution, but lots of people can travel on a bus. Buses make less pollution than cars.”可知，很多人骑自行车或乘坐公交车，是因为骑自行车不产生污染，乘坐公交车产生的污染比开车少，故此处为Because a bike doesn’t make any pollution and buses make less pollution than cars.
56.根据“In fact, if each of us makes a small change in our life, we can make a big difference to our environment. It's not too hard to protect the environment. We just need to try.”可知，我们应该在家回收、循环利用垃圾。这是因为保护环境不是太困难的事。如果我们每个人都能在生活中做出举手之劳，我们就能给环境带来很大的改变。故此处为Yes, because it’s not too hard to protect the environment. We just need to try. (Yes. Because we can make a big difference to our environment if each of us makes a small change in our life.) No, because I think it’s too hard to recycle the waste.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Water is precious
As we all know, water is very important in our life. A person can’t live if he doesn’t drink water for more than 7 days. However, some people didn’t realize the importance of it. They usually keep the water running after using it or throw dirty things into the rivers, lakes or seas.
In fact, we must do something to stop it from getting worse if we live on the Earth. Firstly, turn off the tap after using it. Secondly, keep the water clean by not throwing anything dirty. Thirdly, reusing the water is also needed. To sum up, water is important to all of us. Let’s try our best to save it.

One night as I went to the supermarket to buy some groceries（日用品）, something unusual happened to me.It made me review the meaning of life.
As soon as I went through the glass doors, I could tell something unusual was happening at the cash register（收银台）. I saw a cashier taking a few items （物品）out of a customer’s bag. The shopper was an old woman. I couldn’t even begin to describe to you how sad this woman looked. I stood there for a second and quickly realized that the cashier was taking items off the bill to cut down the payment.
I walked quickly over to the cash register, pointed to the items that she was about to put behind her and then pointed at my bag, showing that I would pay for them. She understood. After putting those items back in the bag at the register, she again went to help the woman with her card, but it still didn’t work. I looked at the screen to see the number, took some cash out of my bag, handed it to the cashier and then quickly walked away.
The old woman was a bit nervous about her card and didn’t notice me at all. When the cashier told her that she didn’t have to pay a cent, she was confused（茫然的）.
I didn’t walk back into the supermarket, but I felt so proud. I was really happy that I was able to help the old woman out and hopefully bring some joy and happiness into her life.
What is happiness As you can imagine, there are a lot of answers. Some people say that giving is a kind of happiness; it gives people warmth and joy. Some people say that harvest is a kind of happiness; it makes you realize the joy and excitement after the harvest. But I think to help others is a kind of happiness. It is the most valuable experience and it will always warm your heart.

Many people think of traditional arts, they think of music. And, in China one of the most famous traditional artists is Tan Dun.
Tan Dun was born in a small village near Changsha, Hunan in 1957. He spent his early childhood with his grandmother. He worked as a violin player and arranger for a Beijing Opera troupe(京剧团). At the age of nineteen, he heard Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony(贝多芬第五交响乐) for the first time and decided to be a composer(作曲家). When he was twenty, he studied music in Beijing. In the middle of 1980s, Tan Dun had a further study on music at Columbia University. Since then, he has lived in New York.
Tan Dun once said in an interview that he only studied Eastern music before the age of twenty, and after twenty he started to be educated in Western music. And by the age of thirty, he deeply understood both traditions. The educational experience gave him the power to create excellent works that connect the traditional and the modern, the East and the West.
Tan Dun has two great inspirations(灵感) for his music. The first is to join together Western and Chinese music. For example, his music for the Beijing Olympics in 2008 came from an old Chinese song and used both traditional Chinese and Western musical tools. His second is to use natural sounds in his music. For example, he created a piece called The Water Concerto in 1998. All the sounds used in the music are made with water.
With his music, Tan Dun tries to find the balance of the music between the East and the West as well as the music and nature.
18. In which year did Tan Dun make a decision to be a composer
A. In 1957. B. In 1976. C. In 1980. D. In 1998.
19. Which of the following about Tan Dun is NOT correct
A. Tan Dun tries to find the balance in his music.
B. Tan Dun didn’t start to study western music until twenty.
C. Tan Dun is one of the most famous traditional artists in China.
D. Tan Dun created the Olympic music with modern western tools.
20. What does the underlined phrase “the educational experience” in the third paragraph refer to
A. He spent his early childhood with his grandmother.
B. When he was twenty, he studied music in Beijing.
C. His further study on music at a foreign university.
D. His study background in both China and America.
31. Which are the two inspirations for Tan Dun’s music
① join together western and Chinese music ② an old Chinese song
③ use natural sound in music ④ use water sounds in music
A. ①② B. ①③ C. ②③ D. ②④
D
Wuyi Rock Tea is a kind of Oolong tea. It got its name from the place where it’s produced—Wuyi Mountain in Fujian Province. The tea trees usually grow on rock cracks（缝隙）. The traditional home of Rock Tea is only from a small area in the mountain. Wuyi Rock Tea is famous for its rich smell and good flavour. There are different kinds. The best is Dahongpao.
With its long history, Wuyi Rock Tea dates back to the Shang Dynasty. People used to send it to the emperor as a tribute（贡品）. In 2006, the skills of making Wuyi Rock Tea were added to China’s national intangible cultural heritage list.
Zhang Huichun, 65, is a master of making Wuyi Rock Tea. In 1980, he learned to make the tea and opened a tea factory. To his surprise, the skills were very complex. After 10 years of learning, he could finally make the tea by himself. Zhang said there were 13 steps to make it, including drying, shaking and roasting（焙火）. The most challenging for him is shaking. It takes strength and patience to shake the tea leaves by holding the round bamboo trays. “You have to decide when the best time is to stop based on the color,” Zhang said. “Sometimes you stop after shaking dozens of（几十）times, while sometimes it can be hundreds of times. Only years of experience can help you figure it out（弄明白）.”
“The last step—roasting—is also important. With three stages, it usually takes more than 20 hours! Each stage needs temperatures from 125℃ to 155℃. Tea makers have to keep a close eye on the process. Every 50 minutes, you have to turn over the leaves, or it might burn,” Zhang said.
Zhang is already a master, but he is still learning. “The most fascinating part is that every step is full of changes—different tea trees, weather and temperatures. Every time is an adventure.”
In recent years, Zhang has often worked with schools to train tea makers. “It’s my responsibility to pass on the traditional skills,” he said.
22. Wuyi Rock Tea got its name from ________.
A. a mountain B. rock cracks C. its smell D. tea trees
23. The underlined word “complex” in paragraph 3 most probably means ________.
A. special B. difficult C. strange D. clever
24. Why is shaking the most challenging step according to Zhang Huichun
A. Tea makers need years of experience in order to tell when to stop shaking.
B. Tea makers have to shake hundreds of times in order to get the right colour.
C. Tea makers need to spend more than 20 hours shaking the tree leaves.
D. Tea makers have to keep a close eye on the leaves, or it will burn.
25. Which can be the best title of this passage
A. Wuyi Mountain is calling B. The history of the famous tea
C. Wuyi Rock Tea—traditional treasure D. Schools try to pass on the traditional tea
