Walking inside a good bookshop can feel like stepping outside of time. Melissa Caruso recently
visited such a shop, and she shared her 31 with her followers on the Internet.
“Welcome to Lyrical Ballad Bookshop,” Melissa wrote on the Internet. Melissa writes novels and
32 exploring (探索) new bookshops. So when her daughter told her about Lyrical Ballad, she couldn’t
33 to check it out.

Melissa then found a room. It led readers deeper into the bookshop to reach six more rooms. “At this
time, you realize you are going to 36 here for a long time,” Melissa wrote.
As Melissa stepped deeper, she was 37 the books inside. She forgot to check the 38
of the rooms. But she was sure that there were more than six. They were full of 39 of all shapes,
sizes and colours. Some were 40 and others were 100 years old or more.
Melissa 41 one of them and saw a bookmark (书签) inside. “ 42 put it there 130
years ago,” she described. “It was surprisingly not expensive, 43 I bought it. Then I continued
and wanted to know 44 was in the last room.” Even as she got near to the end of the shelves,

A young art teacher from China’s Shanxi Province was recently praised online for spending about
three months working on a beautiful chalk 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 as one of the most important artworks in the country’s history. The

{#{QQABLQ460U4ogg4IAkJaJAACBZ4gCq UUQXo4CEiQOQsIOkBhCJcAgAMQxgVOCADEOAAIIYALIBgAIFQIFFIAB=}A#A} =}#}
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.
49. What’s the Chinese meaning of underline word “version”
A. 复习 B. 版本 C. 视野 D. 图片
50. When was Along the River during the Qingming Festival drawn
A. In the Tang Dynasty B. In the Ming Dynasty
C. About nine centuries ago C. About eight centuries ago
51. 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.
D. It took him about 90 days to finish it.
52. 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 the blackboards will be used.
D. Because it is not the same as the original.

Did you climb a tree when you are young How did you feel What if you have a serious “tree
climbing class” at school A primary school in Hangzhou has opened a “tree climbing class” recently.
Quite a lot of people are interested in the special class.
“Go! Go for it! You’re almost to the top!” On Monday morning, children at Xuezheng Primary School
in Hangzhou get together around a tall tree. They are cheering on their classmates who are climbing the
tree. On the big tree, there are wooden stirrups (脚蹬) (No harm will come to the tree). PE teachers help

the children put on protective gear to keep them safe, and then they start the tree climbing class happily.
Chen Yang is one of the PE teachers. He said the children thought it was a little scary when they first
took the class. He encouraged(鼓励) them, and soon they were braver. Some of the students can climb to
the highest point now and they are so excited.
So why did they start this course In fact, such tree climbing classes are common around the world.
Cornell University in the US first started the college tree climbing class. In 2012, students in Xiamen
University started to take the class. There are also such classes in Hubei University and Hangzhou Dianzi
University.
Tree climbing is similar to rock climbing. It allows children not only to release (释放) their nature
but also to challenge themselves. Perhaps there will be more interesting and useful PE classes in the future.
53. How does the writer introduce the topic in the article
A. By giving facts. B. By telling stories. C. By asking questions. D. By listing numbers.
54. How many schools have already opened a tree climbing class according to the article

As we all know, lots of areas are short of water in Africa. However, there is a magical tree which can
help to solve the water problem. It is called the “sacred (神圣的) tree of Africa”—baobab tree (猴面包
树).
A baobab tree is huge like an upside-down carrot. It can grow so large that it requires more than 40
people holding hands to circle it. Actually, most baobab trees are not very tall, only about ten meters.
A baobab tree is full of treasures. It is said that if everyone in Africa had a 10-meter-tall baobab tree,
it would solve more than 50% of their food problems. In hot Africa, water is the most needed. When the
rainy season comes, the baobab tree starts to hold water in its body. The baobab tree is said to be the most
water-holding tree. It can hold thousands of kilograms of water in its body. Local people usually cut a hole
in the tree with a knife and get clean water from it. The baobab tree leaves are a bit like spinach (菠菜)

leaves. True to its Chinese name, the fruit of the baobab tree tastes like bread. But it’s not like bread with
cream. It tastes dry. Local people seldom get stomach problems because of eating it.
Baobab trees are not only useful for humans, but for animals in nature! Their fruit can be good food
for monkeys, lizards and other African animals. Their leaves can also be eaten to get enough water. The
branches of a baobab look like a root, making it a perfect home to birds.
Indeed, baobab trees are the “tree of life” for Africans. The tall, straight baobab trees act like
lighthouses. As the African saying goes, “Baobab trees lit up against the dark ‘African Sky’.” They light
up not only the night sky, but also our respect for nature.
57. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. How useful the baobab trees are. B. How serious the problems are in Africa.
C. What the fruit of baobab trees tastes like. D. How Africans get water from baobab trees.
58. Which of the following sentences is an opinion
A. Many places in Africa are very short of water.
B. Most baobab trees are not very tall, only about ten meters.
C. Baobab trees are useful both for humans and animals in nature!
D. A baobab tree can hold thousands of kilograms of water in its body.
59. What is the structure of the article (① = Paragraph 1 ② = Paragraph 2,...)
A. B. C. D.
60. What is the best title for the article
A. Africans in Need of Water B. The Sacred Tree of Africa
C. A Magic Tree in Danger D. The Most Water-holding Tree

I gave the young man I had rescued(救) bread and water. He was tired out and fell quickly asleep.
I guessed his age at around twenty-six. He was tall and strong and looked kind, especially when he
smiled. He slept only about a half. Again he made gestures(手势) to show that he was grateful to me.
We communicated by gestures at first. Soon he showed himself much better at learning my language
than I was at learning his. I told him I’m Robinson. I called him Friday, for it was on a Friday that I rescued
him. He quickly learned “yes” and “no” and the names of many things.
At first, I didn’t completely trust Friday and he was separated from me in another room. But soon I
found it unnecessary. Nobody would be more loyal than Friday. He seemed almost to consider me like a
father. Friday was also willing to help in any way.

For the next three years, I taught Friday to use all my tools. I took him to see everything I had made.
Friday was quick to help with the work on the island. One day, I showed Friday the ruin of the wreck(沉
船). I explained that I had come upon the island the same way. That was when Friday told me the most
amazing thing. He saw such a wreck before, not far from his home.
“We rescue the white men from drown.” he said.
I asked him how many men they had rescued, and he showed me on his fingers—seventeen. I was
surprised at the idea of a group of Europeans so close. I took Friday to the highest point of the island where
other lands could be seen. He began jumping and dancing.

87. Why was the man called Friday
88. What did Friday learn to use from Robinson on the island
