The mountains where I live are full of curvy（弯曲的）and dangerous roads. I was driving down one of those roads last spring. Days of rain made the ground slippery to drive on.
As I turned around a curve, I saw a tree that had fallen across the road. It blocked my way. I hit the brakes（刹车）and slowly drove around it. Then I stopped. I knew if someone drove faster than me, he would surely run into that tree. It was only a matter of time.
I got out of my car and tried to pull the tree into the ditch（沟）, but it was too big and heavy to move. I didn’t know what to do. But 30 seconds later, a white truck appeared and pulled over.
A young man stepped out. “You need a chainsaw（电锯）?” he asked. I said,“Yes!”He pulled one out of the back of his truck. For the next few minutes, he cut the tree into several parts while I carried them across the road and dropped them on the other side. “You never know when you will need a chainsaw,” I joked while my new friend smiled and put his chainsaw back in the truck. I waved goodbye and watched him drive off before heading back to my own car.

An exhibition about the Grand Canal (大运河)-Paddling for a Thousand Miles-ended at the National Museum of China in Beijing on March 1.
The Grand Canal is more than 2, 500 years old. It is made up of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the Sui and Tang Grand Canal, and the Zhedong Canal. At nearly 3, 200 kilometers long, it is the world’s longest man-made waterway. It has influenced (影响) the development of Chinese economics and culture for hundreds of years.
Before it was built, people in ancient China used horses or simply travelled by foot to trade goods(货物). It was out of the question to send large-sized goods. After the Grand Canal connected the north and the south, business and cultural exchanges were able to develop further.
In fact, the Grand Canal played an important role in the building of the Forbidden City. Materials from different parts of the country were sent to Beijing via (通过) the canal, including bricks from Shandong and wood from Hunan. Peking roast duck even owes (把……归功于) its beginnings to the canal. People shipped white lake ducks in the south to Beijing and then fed these ducks to make Peking roast duck.
Today, people from all walks of life-businessmen, workers and drivers-often gather along the canal. They share their experiences, traditions, and culture with others. The hustle and bustle (熙熙攘攘) of the area is just something from the past, but the spirit of openness has become part of the local culture.
38. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. How the Grand Canal was built.
B. How old the Grand Canal is.
C. How long the Grand Canal is.
D. What the Grand Canal is made up of.
39. The underlined expression “out of the question” means ________.
A. impossible B. easy C. strange D. useless
40. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 4?
A. To introduce the importance and the history of the Forbidden City.
B. To show the influence of the Grand Canal on business exchange.
C. To present the steps of making Peking roast duck in ancient China.
D. To list the materials used in building the Forbidden City
41. What can we learn about the Grand Canal from the passage?
A. People couldn’t carry large-sized goods via the canal in the past.
B. The canal has little influence on the local culture today.
C. The canal is the world’s longest waterway.
D. People living along the canal share the spirit of openness.
【答案】38. A 39. A 40. B 41. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了大运河的历史，以及它对中国经济和文化的发展起到了重要的作用。
38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The Grand Canal is more than 2, 500 years old. It is made up of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the Sui and Tang Grand Canal, and the Zhedong Canal. At nearly 3, 200 kilometers long, it is the world’s longest man-made waterway”可知第二段介绍了大运河的历史，长度，和组成，没有提到大运河是如何建造的。故选A。
【39题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Before it was built, people in ancient China used horses or simply travelled by foot to trade goods(货物). It was out of the question to send large-sized goods”可知在它被建造之前，中国古代的人们用马或徒步旅行来交换货物，所以推测送大型货品是不可能的，impossible“不可能的”；easy“容易的”；strange“奇怪的”；useless“无用的”。impossible符合，故选A。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“In fact, the Grand Canal played an important role in the building of the Forbidden City...Peking roast duck even owes (把……归功于) its beginnings to the canal. People shipped white lake ducks in the south to Beijing and then fed these ducks to make Peking roast duck.”可知第四段主要是告诉我们大运河对商业交流的影响。故选B。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“They share their experiences, traditions, and culture with others. The hustle and bustle (熙熙攘攘) of the area is just something from the past, but the spirit of openness has become part of the local culture.”可知生活在运河沿岸的人们还分享着开放的精神。故选D。

Probably you have seen someone reading a book on an electronic reading device(设备).
Over the past few years, these small computers have become more popular. For that reason, more companies that make traditional paper books are now making electronic books(e-books). Most e-books are the same as paper books, but people download a file(文件) into a reading device rather than buy the paper book. In this way, they can carry many books. And they can bring a whole library with them wherever they go.
Book companies are adding special features to some e-books. These extra(额外的)features might include sound files, picture files or video files. When the readers click on these files, they learn more about the book, the story or the writer.
The latest electronic reading devices are smaller and cheaper, but they are also much more powerful. They can store much more information, so writers and book companies can do more with their e-books. They do not want to just add files to a completed book. They are making the sound, picture, and video files part of the story so that readers can understand the whole story better. Readers can even change the story. Readers already have a lot of books to choose from. If they can change the way stories end, they will have even more choices!
However, will electronic books replace(取代)traditional paper books? People have different opinions. Some people find e-books more convenient, while some think reading e-books on electronic devices will hurt their eyes and if the devices break, they will have nothing to read. Nevertheless, they don’t need to worry about these problems with a paper book. As far as I am concerned, both types of books have many advantages, so the decision is up to you.
42. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Books in the future. B. Electronic books.
C. Paper books. D. Popular books today.
43. According to the passage, what special features might some e-books include?
A. Copies of paper books. B. Devices for other e-books.
C. Extra files. D. Other writers’ e-books.
44. How are the latest e-books today different from older e-books?
A. Companies buy them in many files.
B Readers can carry them whenever they go.
C. Readers can change the endings of the stories.
D. They are bigger and more expensive.

The mountains where I live are full of curvy（弯曲的）and dangerous roads. I was driving down one of those roads last spring. Days of rain made the ground slippery to drive on.
As I turned around a curve, I saw a tree that had fallen across the road. It blocked my way. I hit the brakes（刹车）and slowly drove around it. Then I stopped. I knew if someone drove faster than me, he would surely run into that tree. It was only a matter of time.
I got out of my car and tried to pull the tree into the ditch（沟）, but it was too big and heavy to move. I didn’t know what to do. But 30 seconds later, a white truck appeared and pulled over.
A young man stepped out. “You need a chainsaw（电锯）?” he asked. I said,“Yes!”He pulled one out of the back of his truck. For the next few minutes, he cut the tree into several parts while I carried them across the road and dropped them on the other side. “You never know when you will need a chainsaw,” I joked while my new friend smiled and put his chainsaw back in the truck. I waved goodbye and watched him drive off before heading back to my own car.
In our life, you never know when you will need a chainsaw. You do know, however, when you will need a kind and loving heart.

An exhibition about the Grand Canal (大运河)-Paddling for a Thousand Miles-ended at the National Museum of China in Beijing on March 1.
The Grand Canal is more than 2, 500 years old. It is made up of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the Sui and Tang Grand Canal, and the Zhedong Canal. At nearly 3, 200 kilometers long, it is the world’s longest man-made waterway. It has influenced (影响) the development of Chinese economics and culture for hundreds of years.
Before it was built, people in ancient China used horses or simply travelled by foot to trade goods(货物). It was out of the question to send large-sized goods. After the Grand Canal connected the north and the south, business and cultural exchanges were able to develop further.
In fact, the Grand Canal played an important role in the building of the Forbidden City. Materials from different parts of the country were sent to Beijing via (通过) the canal, including bricks from Shandong and wood from Hunan. Peking roast duck even owes (把……归功于) its beginnings to the canal. People shipped white lake ducks in the south to Beijing and then fed these ducks to make Peking roast duck.
Today, people from all walks of life-businessmen, workers and drivers-often gather along the canal. They share their experiences, traditions, and culture with others. The hustle and bustle (熙熙攘攘) of the area is just something from the past, but the spirit of openness has become part of the local culture.
38. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. How the Grand Canal was built.
B. How old the Grand Canal is.
C. How long the Grand Canal is.
D. What the Grand Canal is made up of.
39. The underlined expression “out of the question” means ________.
A. impossible B. easy C. strange D. useless
40. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 4?
A. To introduce the importance and the history of the Forbidden City.
B. To show the influence of the Grand Canal on business exchange.
C. To present the steps of making Peking roast duck in ancient China.
D. To list the materials used in building the Forbidden City
41. What can we learn about the Grand Canal from the passage?
A. People couldn’t carry large-sized goods via the canal in the past.
B. The canal has little influence on the local culture today.
C. The canal is the world’s longest waterway.
D. People living along the canal share the spirit of openness.
【答案】38. A 39. A 40. B 41. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了大运河的历史，以及它对中国经济和文化的发展起到了重要的作用。
38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The Grand Canal is more than 2, 500 years old. It is made up of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the Sui and Tang Grand Canal, and the Zhedong Canal. At nearly 3, 200 kilometers long, it is the world’s longest man-made waterway”可知第二段介绍了大运河的历史，长度，和组成，没有提到大运河是如何建造的。故选A。
【39题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Before it was built, people in ancient China used horses or simply travelled by foot to trade goods(货物). It was out of the question to send large-sized goods”可知在它被建造之前，中国古代的人们用马或徒步旅行来交换货物，所以推测送大型货品是不可能的，impossible“不可能的”；easy“容易的”；strange“奇怪的”；useless“无用的”。impossible符合，故选A。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“In fact, the Grand Canal played an important role in the building of the Forbidden City...Peking roast duck even owes (把……归功于) its beginnings to the canal. People shipped white lake ducks in the south to Beijing and then fed these ducks to make Peking roast duck.”可知第四段主要是告诉我们大运河对商业交流的影响。故选B。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“They share their experiences, traditions, and culture with others. The hustle and bustle (熙熙攘攘) of the area is just something from the past, but the spirit of openness has become part of the local culture.”可知生活在运河沿岸的人们还分享着开放的精神。故选D。

Probably you have seen someone reading a book on an electronic reading device(设备).
Over the past few years, these small computers have become more popular. For that reason, more companies that make traditional paper books are now making electronic books(e-books). Most e-books are the same as paper books, but people download a file(文件) into a reading device rather than buy the paper book. In this way, they can carry many books. And they can bring a whole library with them wherever they go.
Book companies are adding special features to some e-books. These extra(额外的)features might include sound files, picture files or video files. When the readers click on these files, they learn more about the book, the story or the writer.
The latest electronic reading devices are smaller and cheaper, but they are also much more powerful. They can store much more information, so writers and book companies can do more with their e-books. They do not want to just add files to a completed book. They are making the sound, picture, and video files part of the story so that readers can understand the whole story better. Readers can even change the story. Readers already have a lot of books to choose from. If they can change the way stories end, they will have even more choices!
However, will electronic books replace(取代)traditional paper books? People have different opinions. Some people find e-books more convenient, while some think reading e-books on electronic devices will hurt their eyes and if the devices break, they will have nothing to read. Nevertheless, they don’t need to worry about these problems with a paper book. As far as I am concerned, both types of books have many advantages, so the decision is up to you.
42. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Books in the future. B. Electronic books.
C. Paper books. D. Popular books today.
43. According to the passage, what special features might some e-books include?
A. Copies of paper books. B. Devices for other e-books.
C. Extra files. D. Other writers’ e-books.
44. How are the latest e-books today different from older e-books?
A. Companies buy them in many files.
B Readers can carry them whenever they go.
C. Readers can change the endings of the stories.
D. They are bigger and more expensive.
45 What’s the writer’s opinion about e-books in the last paragraph?
A. Readers decide on which type of books to read.
B. Electronic books are as popular as paper books.
C. Electronic books will replace paper books.
D. Paper books have less problems for readers.
