We all go to school to study and learn different skills, but have you ever been taught in your dream?

Wang Xizhi was a Chinese calligrapher (书法家), traditionally called the Sage of Calligraphy (书圣). Born in Linyi, Shandong Province, he spent most of his life in the present-day Shaoxing, Zhejiang. At the beginning, Wang Xizhi learned the art of calligraphy from Lady Wei. But later through practice, he excelled his teacher.

Nobody knows who taught him after Lady Wei. However, there is a story that Wang achieved his success by learning from his dream. It is said that Wang would practice calligraphy every day. Still he was never satisfied with what he wrote. One day, he was so tired that he fell asleep at his desk. In his dream, he saw an old man who said to him with a smile, “I will teach you something and you will find it very helpful in the future. Now reach out your hands.” Only half believing, Wang reached out his hand. The old man wrote a character in his hand and said with a nod. “Now, you will be a calligrapher.” With this. he disappeared in the air. Wang looked at his hand and saw a character “永”. He thought over it for a whole night and finally realized that this character had all the basic strokes (笔划) in forming Chines calligraphy.

After waking up from the dream, Wang kept practicing writing the character “永”. Later Wang became a well-known calligrapher.

It is said that even in his lifetime a few of Wang’s characters or his signature were priceless. Unfortunately, none of his works remains today. Down through the ages, however, many students of calligraphy, the most basic yet highest art in China, have learned from and copied his style.

52. Why did Wang Xizhi keep on practising the character “yong”?

A. Because an old man living next him told him the character.

calligraphy.

The list for the sixth-grade basketball team was announced online. I was a little worried because I knew how much my 12-year-old son wanted to make the team.

I read the list of 13 names for a few minutes. Finally, I had to tell myself that my son wasn’t among the players who were allowed to continue playing. I felt sad. I wished it would be about victory. Like every parent, I love to say, “You did it!”

Instead, I had to give my son a speech to comfort my son, which was a lot less exciting, but probably more important. It was not really a speech, but a further discussion about spirit, courage and not giving up. Although it was painful for me to see myself so disappointed (失望), I needed to keep my own feelings in check. Sure, I wanted to call the coach to say he made a big mistake, but I would not. Nor would I let my son know that I thought it unfair (不公平的). Instead, I put my own feelings aside and let my son have a safe place to calm down his own moods. And when he was done, I needed to encourage him to continue to improve skills. That day was a loss, but the only way to get another was to put on his trainers and get on the basketball court again.

My son is 15 years old now. And, after being cut from the team for three years in a row (连续地), he got to see his name on the list for the high school team. Last week, my husband and I watched him play in his first game. The smile on his face when he made his first shot in is something I will never forget. After so many failures, it was a win that didn’t come easy for him. And it wouldn’t have happened if he had given up trying.

53. Why did the writer feel sad at first?

A. Because her son didn’t keep feeling confident.

B. Because her son didn’t enter the basketball team.

C. Because her son decided to stop playing basketball.

D. Because her son failed in a few basketball matches.

54. What does the underlined part “keep my own feelings in check” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Hide my own feelings.       B. Hurt my own feelings.

C. Follow my own feelings.      D. Show my own feelings.

55. What can be inferred (推断) about the writer’s son?

A. He felt unhappy with his parents.

B. He stopped working on his game skills.

C. He played in the high school team at the age of 12.

D. He was finally accepted by his high school team.

56. How does the writer organize her ideas in this passage?

A. Using the space order       B. From general to specific

C. Using the time order       D. From specific to general

D

Know when to skim. Skimming can be used to gain a shallow (浅层的) understanding of a text. It can be used to scan a newspaper for interesting material or to get the important concepts out of a textbook in preparation for a test. It’s not a good choice for thorough reading.

Read titles and section headings. Begin by only reading the chapter titles and any subheadings at the start of large sections. Read the headlines of each newspaper article or the table of contents in a magazine.

Read the beginning and end of a section. Textbooks usually have introductions and summaries of each chapter. For other texts, just read the first and last paragraph of a chapter or an article.

         You can read quickly if you’re familiar with the subject, but don’t try to speed read as fast as possible. You’re saving time by skipping most of the section, but you do need to understand what you’re reading.

Circle important words throughout the text. If you still wish to learn more, brush your eyes rapidly across the page rather than reading normally. As you know the main idea of the section, you can pick out key words that mark important areas. Stop and circle the following words:

         Words that are repeated several times

         The main ideas ---- often including words from the title or section header

         Proper nouns

         Italics, bold text, or underline

         Words you don’t recognize

Pay attention to pictures and diagrams (图表). These often present a lot a information without much reading required. Take a minute or two to make sure you fully understand each diagram.

Read the first sentence of each paragraph, if unsure. If you are uncertain about

the subject, read the start of each paragraph. The first one or two sentences will teach you the main points.

Study using your annotations (注解). Go back and look over the words you’ve circled. Can you “read” these and get a general sense of what the text is about? If you don’t understand a certain word, try reading a few sentences around that word to remind yourself of the topic.

57. Which of the following is NOT advised by the writer of the article?

1. Skimming isn’t suitable for all types of reading
2. You can read as quickly as you want if you know how to skim.

C. Spend some minutes reading the pictures and diagrams in the text.

D. If you can not remember the subject you are reading, try to read the start of each paragraph.

58. What should be used as the best title for the article?

A. How to learn speed reading

B. Skim the text!

C. Skimming and scanning, two powerful reading strategies

D. Read the start and the end of the article

59. When you are reading quickly part of one article below, which word/phrase should be possibly circled?

A. always     B. give up    C. stick to   D. hard

60. Where can you find this article ?

A. In the newspaper. B. In a magazine.   C. In a language book.   D. In a diary.

七、阅读填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）

A) 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

注意：每个空格只填1个单词。

The late president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela. once said, “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart.”

Mandela understood that our mother language is a very intimate (亲近的) thing to us. For people who speak an ancient tongue as their mother language, it helps them keep their traditions. Their language is their main connection with their ancestors. And it is also how they imagine the future.

So it’s a serious thing that a language disappears. Over the last century, more than 400 languages have died out. Some languages are now spoken only by a few dozen people, like Yagan in Chile. Africa and South Africa are also places where many languages are dying.

Why are we humans speaking fewer languages than we once did? The answer has to do with globalization. With greater trade and communication, the planet has become smaller. It’s become more useful to speak some languages----English is the obvious example----than others. The effect has been to kill certain languages, usually ones spoken by less populous and powerful peoples.

But there are people and organizations all over the world that aren’t prepared to accept a planet with fewer and fewer languages. Through efforts both large and small, they are getting people to speak and read in certain languages, and to pass them on. Each year on Feb 21,The United Nations also holds International Mother Language Day in the hope that the public pay more attention to dying languages.

This work is important. As US writer Rita Mae Brown wrote, “Language is the road map of a culture. It tells where its people come from and where they are going”.

B)  根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。

With social development, many people don’t stay in the same place forever. So many things can k___________(86) you from seeing your loved ones in person, from busy schedules to long distances (距离) to a rather unexpected pandemic Covid-19. Fortunately, thanks to modern technology, the people we miss are o___________(87) only a phone call or text message away. But if you’re someone who p___________(88) typed-out messages, you may want to think twice. A new study found that communication that i___________(89) voice, like a phone call or video chat, created s___________(90) social connections than communication through typing, like text messaging or email.

Researchers found that although people thought that a phone call with an old friend would be less comfortable, h___________(91) someone’s voice actually made the experience better. In an experiment, the researchers had strangers connect by e___________(92)  texting, talking over video chat or talking using only audio (语音). They found that both forms of voice c___________(93)----whether video or audio only-made the strangers feel more connected than when they communicated through texting. Sabrina Romanoff, a doctor from New York, says texting can make it hard to get the t___________(94) meaning behind a conversation. “While making a voice or audio phone call, each party is there, so the speakers are able to understand the meaning behind the content (内容) w___________(95) thinking over the endless possible meanings behind words.”
