Numbers are used everywhere. In Chinese culture, some numbers are believed to be lucky or unlucky based on the Chinese characters that the numbers sound similar to.

For example, the word for the number 8 sounds similar to the word for “making a fortune”. So, people consider it a very lucky number. Some people will even spend a lot of money having 8s in their phone numbers or vehicle license plate（车牌照）numbers. The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics began at 8:08 p.m. on August 8, 2008.

The number 9 is also a lucky number because of its connection to the emperors of China. There were nine dragons on emperors’ robes (龙袍) and Chinese myth held that the dragon had nine children. The number 9 also stands for “long-lasting”. That’s why a man always proposes to a woman with 99 or 999 roses.

So what’s a “bad luck” number in Chia? It might be 4. Many Chinese people see 4 as a bad luck number because it sounds similar to the character for “death”.

Because of this, many buildings skip the fourth floor and simply call it the fifth floor. In Hong Kong, some buildings even skip all floors numbered with 4.

19．Which is not the reason why the number 9 is a lucky number?

A．It also stands for “long-lasting”

B．It was connected to the emperors of China.

C．A man always proposes to a woman with 99 or 999 roses.

D．It based on the Chinese characters the number 9 sounds similar to .

20．We may not see the floor number_______ in the building in HongKong.

A．18 B．9 C．14 D．20

21．_______numbers are mentioned in the passage from one to nine?

A．Two B．Three C．Four D．Five

22．The main idea of the passage is _______.

A．Why numbers are used everywhere          B．What the numbers sound similar to

C．What the numbers are in Chinese culture      D．What the lucky or unlucky numbers based on

C

During the Warring States Period (475-221 BC), King Zhao of the State of Yan (燕昭王) wanted to gather talented people to make the state strong. He asked the scholar (有学问的人) Guo Wei for advice. Guo told the king a story.

In ancient times, there was a king who wanted a special kind of horse. This horse could run 1,000 li a day. It was called qianlima. He sent many people to find these horses and buy them for him. After three years, nobody found him such a horse.

One day, someone new volunteered to help. Within three months, he heard about a qianlima. He rushed to find it, but the horse was already dead. Still, he bought the bones of the horse with 500 pieces of gold.

The king was very angry. “What I want is a live horse, not the bones of a dead horse!”

This shows people you truly wish to buy the horses. Just wait and the horses you want will come very soon. The man answered calmly, “Imagine this. You’re willing to pay a high price for a dead horse, let alone a live one.

Indeed, within a year, many qianlima owners brought their horses to the king.

Guo told the king that he could see himself as the bones of the horse. “If I am valued, more talent will be willing to serve the state,” he said. The king built houses for Guo and treated him as a teacher. Soon, talented people across the state came to help the king. His state finally beat the State of Qi.

23．What did King Zhao of the State Yan actually want to have?

A．Talented people.   B．Qianlima.   C．The bones of a qianlima.  D．Wealth.

24．In Guo’s story, the king got angry with the man because he thought ________.

A．qianlima weren’t the best horses in the world   B．there wasn’t a qianlima in the world

C．the bones were not from a qianlima   D．a dead horse was of no use at all

25．What was the man’s reason for buying the bones of a dead horse?

A．It could help the king gather talented people.

B．Horse owners would see the king’s need for qianlima.

C．More people would kill their horses to sell horse bones.

D．The king could tell qianlima from common horses this way.

26．Guo compared himself to ________ in the story he told.

A．the volunteer B．the king C．the bones of a dead qianlima    D．the qianlima owner

①Are you emotional? Do you often have strong feelings? How do you deal with bad emotions?

②We feel angry or guilty about the things we did or did not achieve, about the things we cannot have, and many other things. It seems that everyone carries their own bad emotions. But neither guilt nor anger can help us. Over time, ________.

③These bad emotions don’t do anything good for us at all. So you might ask yourself—is it possible to put down this heavy burden and give yourself a break? It is quite possible. Start by actually looking at your feelings. How do they get inside of us? Why do we carry them for so long instead of putting them down? Can we live without them?

④By thinking about our bad emotions, we can find healthy ways to deal with them. Unhealthy behaviors are not the way to do this. They provide no relief. Instead, there are better ways to handle them. One of the best ways is forgiveness.

⑤Forgiveness is a powerful tool. We should forgive ourselves first. We shouldn’t keep bad emotions inside. We must also forgive others who have made us guilty or angry. This is not always easy. But when we learn to forgive ourselves, it becomes easier to forgive others as well.

⑥There is nothing good about carrying years of emotional burdens. By forgiving ourselves and others, we can abandon our burdens and feel better about ourselves. The moment you do this, you will start to feel a lot lighter. Years of heaviness will be magically lifted! You’ll start to feel like you have more energy and you’ll be much happier with your lite.

27．Which of the following can be the best to fill in ________ in Paragraph 2?

A．we have put them down B．they can be heavy weights on our shoulders

C．we have forgotten them D．we have forgiven them

28．What is one way to handle bad emotions?

A．Keeping bad emotions inside. B．Forgetting the past.

C．Forgiving ourselves and others. D．Finding good emotions to replace them.

29．What does the underlined word “abandon" in the last paragraph mean?

A．put away B．carry on C．stay with D．get rid of

30．The structure of the passage might be ________.

A． B． C． D．

五、阅读与表达（本题有5小题，每小题1分，共计5分）

阅读下面关于一种吸收污染物的材料的短文，根据短文内容，补全表格中的信息。

What is the best way to cut down air pollution? Use the subway or take the bus. But here is a more creative way — write a poem on a poster (海报). The science expert Tony Ryan and the words expert Simon Armitage, from the University of Sheffield, the UK, came up with the idea.

The unusual poster is 10 meters by 20 meters. A beautiful poem about the nature beauty was written on it. It is coated with nanaparticles of titanium dioxide (二氧化纳米粒). It can take in the waste from around 20 cars each day if you put it near a busy road. It can eat up things called nitrogen oxides (氧化氨), which cause breathing problems.

The new technology is cheap. “It would add less than ￡100 to the price of a poster. What’s more, it would turn advertisements into materials which help to cut down the pollution.” Ryan told the BBC．
