一、语法选择（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）

阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，从1~15各题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。

Waving her 5-year-old daughter goodbye, Wang Yaping was about to set off. She, together with Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu, went into space aboard the Shenzhou XIII    1    Oct 16th.

The 41-year-old Wang became the first female astronaut to enter Tiangong space station. During their six-month stay, Wang, alongside Zhai and Ye, will do experiments and set up robotic arms.    2    Wang will also do the first spacewalk by a Chinese woman, reported Xinhua.

Wang’s space dream started in 2003, when China sent its first astronaut Yang Liwei into space. She told    3   , “China now has a male astronaut. When will there be    4    female one?” At that time, Wang was a pilot in the Chinese army.

After    5    safe flights for 1,600 hours over nine years, Wang was a strong candidate (候选人) to become an astronaut in 2010. She knew    6    she should do, so she was very strict with herself, getting the same training as men, including the pull-ups and barbells. “The space environment won’t change    7    you are a woman.” she told Xinhua.

The most difficult part is the high-G training. Sitting in a spinning machine, Wang would become blind for a while because her brain was short of blood. “There’s a red button,” said Wang, “If you can’t bear it, you can press it    8   .” Wang never used it. “There is no such red button in my heart.”

That strong spirit    9    led to realizing her dream in 2013. She    10    to be a member of the Shenzhou X mission.

Wang said that as astronauts, women had their own advantages. “Women tend to be more patient and 11 better deal with loneliness. Women’s hearts are also    12    to adapt to the weightless environment, making them more suitable for long-term missions.”

Retired NASA astronaut Catherine Coleman    13    a greeting to Wang before the Shenzhou XIII trip. Coleman said, “When you look out of the window and see the stars and the Earth,    14    women will look out of that window with you. Wang carries the spirit of every young woman    15    dreams of something big.”

Little George lived in a poor village. One summer day, George’s mother sent him to the field to pick up some dried    16    for the fire.

It was not easy for him to find it. By the time the sun was high, he felt very hot and wished for a    17    place to rest and have some food. As he walked along, he found some shade, and there were some fine and wild strawberries.

“How    18    these will be with my bread and butter!” thought George. He picked up all of the strawberries. As he was    19    the first strawberry to his mouth, he remembered his sick mother, who was alone in her dark, cold room in the village.

“I will only eat one.” he thought.

However, as he again lifted it to his mouth, he found that he had taken the finest, and he put it back.

三、阅读(共两节，满分35分)

第一节  阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

(A)

This is an ordinary day for Yang Jinlong.

At 9 a. m., he drives to primary schools and middle schools in Xi’an, Shanxi Province, to teach students about Shanxi kuaiban. It is a traditional Chinese form of storytelling to the rhythm of bamboo clappers (响板), which the art form is named after. Sometimes, he helps students prepare for competitions. Usually, his classes run until about 6 p.m., and then he returns home to prepare classes for the next day.

On June 10, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism announced 325 national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) items in Beijing, increasing the list to 1,557 items. Shanxi kuaiban, which appeared during the late Qing Dynasty, has been included. It has been introduced to local schools as part of their art education.

Yang has been teaching young people the art form since 2003 after graduating from the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts in Beijing. He studied quyi there. Quyi is a general term for Chinese folk art forms, including storytelling, crosstalk and clapper talk.

“Art education is important for students in China. Just as many students learn to play western musical instruments like the piano and violin, there are many people learning traditional Chinese folk arts, including Shanxi kuaiban, which I’ll work for my whole life,” he said.

Kuaiban is popular in northern China, including Beijing and Tianjin. According to Yang, Shanxi kuaiban was influenced by the art of different areas. The art form can be played by a group of players or only one. With one or two pairs of kuaiban of different sizes in hand, the players speak in the local dialect (方言) while telling stories, which are usually about heroes. The player tells stories while playing kuaiban, and it’s easy for the watchers to remember the stories since all the lines have rhymes.

Thanks to artists like Yang, this traditional Chinese form of storytelling is passed on and stays alive in our country.

26. What does Yang usually do during school time according to paragraph 2?

A. He prepares lessons for teachers.

B. He goes to schools and gives lessons.

C. He sends the bamboo clappers to students.

D. He has a good time on Kuaiban by himself.

27. What is probably Yang Jinlong’s job according to the passage?

A. An officer.  B. A teacher.  C. A singer.  D. An actor.

28. The main idea of paragraph 6 is ______.

A. how kuaiban is played.  B. where kuaiban is played.

C. why kuaiban was invented.  D. when kuaiban was invented.

29. According to the passage, if you want to be an artist like Yang, you should ______.

A. help primary students learn art

B. work with effort and stick with the art

C. communicate with other artists patiently

D. be active to play western musical instruments

(B)

What does it mean to be green? Green is more than just a color. It also means taking special steps to protect the environment. Buying a green product is a small step everyone can take. Deciding whether a product is green, however, isn’t always easy. We need to consider the whole life cycle of the product, even after it’s of no use. Here is what we may keep in mind.

The materials of a product are usually our first focus. What is it made of? Are there any harmful chemicals in it? Green products are made of more natural materials which are free from harmful chemicals, so they can be good for our physical health.

Packaging is important. How is a product packaged? Is it over packaged? We’d better choose glass, metal and paper packaging, as these can be reused or more easily recycled. We can also look for less packaging or even choose bagged products whenever possible.

Location matters. Where was a product produced? Where are we buying it? Think about how much energy was used to get it to us. Try to choose local products. When it comes to food, it is a good idea to order directly from local farmers, shop at markets and buy fruits in season. Buying from stores near our houses is also a good choice, because we can go there without driving a car.

Look into what the company tells us about their products. It’s easy to say that a product is “green” or “all natural”, but the words may be too good to be true. So we should pay attention to the information about a product carefully. After all, companies try to make us believe that their products are environmentally responsible.

The greenest thing is certainly the one we don’t buy. Things like food and clothing are necessary for life. But many others are not. Better than buying is choosing to leave an unnecessary product in the store. It sends a message to the producer, keeps money in our pockets, reduces waste and keeps the planet healthy.

30. When we go shopping in the supermarket, we’d better buy some green packaging products, such as ______.

① a glass of honey  ②a plastic bag of chips  ③an over-packaged gift

④a paper box of chocolate  ⑤ fruit without packaging

A. ①②③ B. ①④⑤ C. ③④⑤ D. ①②⑤

31. What can we learn from the passage?

A. We should only buy products near our houses.

B. We should know all the information about a product.

C. We should have fewer unnecessary products in our life.

D. We should pay little attention to the materials of a product.

32. What is the purpose of this passage?

A. To teach us how to tell different materials.

B. To tell us how to save money for ourselves.

C. To tell us all the companies should be green.

D. To give advice on how to be a green consumer.

(C)

The traditional Chinese Longtaitou Festival, or Dragon-Head-Raising Festival, falls on the second day of the second lunar month every year, and recognizes the start of spring and farming. This year, it falls on February 21st.

Ancient people believed that after this day, rainfall increases because the rain brings Dragon King has awakened from his winter sleep.

A well-known phrase goes, “Er yue er, long tai tou,” meaning, “On the second day of the second month, the dragon lifts his head.”

The festival celebrates ancient farming Chinese culture, and while some of the traditional ways to celebrate it are no longer practised, others persist.

The most well-known tradition is getting a haircut. Some believe that going to the barber on this day help them stay away from bad luck, while others believe getting a haircut during the first month of the lunar calendar brings bad luck.

People eat toufu balls in East China’s Fujian Province during the festival, which means the first fortune of the year, and often make tofu and vegetable balls to pray for family and business. Fried beans are the traditional festival fare for people in parts of Shandong Province.

Eating chengyao cakes, which are made with sticky rice, is a tradition in Suzhou, Zhejiang Province during the festival, following the saying, “If you eat chengyao cakes on Longtaitou, your waist won’t hurt all year.”

Meanwhile, other food, like dumplings, spring rolls and popcorn, are named after dragon body parts to mark the day. Noodles are dragon’s beard (long xu), dumplings are dragon’s ears (long er), spring rolls are dragon’s scales (long lin), and popcorn dragon seeds (long zi).

A. Because the dragon lifts his head on this day.

B. Because it recognizes the start of spring and farming.

During summer vacation, I went on a three-day camping expedition (远足). We had to carry all of our own clothes and food, as well as tents, cooking pots and first aid kits.

On the first day, our instructor taught us how to read maps.    41    However, walking with a 13-kg backpack under the burning sun was not the most ideal situation. Each of us had to carry two liters of water to drink as well.

   42    My group set off at 9: 00 a. m. full of confidence, but soon found ourselves lost on a farm! Luckily, each group had a tracker (跟踪器) that allowed our instructors to see where we were.    43    We finally got to camp at 7 p. m. Having walked 25 km over 10 hours, my body was aching.

The third day was a bit easier.    44    You couldn’t imagine how excited we were although we were very exhausted.

   45    It is not just about learning to read maps, but also teamwork and how to deal with emergency situations. It pushed me to achieve something I never thought I could do and gave me important life experience.
