As the coach finished the story, the players talked about how silly Peter was. At the same time, they realised what their coach wanted them to understand: the opposing team was like the wolves, and they were like the woodcutter. They should fight till the end, whether they were “alive or dead”.

Albert was very interested in video games. He could spend hours in front of the screen, hardly leaving his seat. When his parents suggested he spend some time on other things, he didn’t listen.
Albert especially liked one of the games, in which he could collect turtles (龟). ▲ Maybe no one else in the world could collect as many turtles as he did, but Albert still wanted more.
One day, when he came home from school, he ran to his room and turned on the computer as usual. Suddenly, he heard the sound of breaking glass. It turned out that the computer screen was broken, and thousands of little turtles came out of it. They soon filled his bedroom. Albert couldn’t
believe what was happening, but he had to accept it.
Day after day, Albert looked after all the turtles by himself. It wasn’t an easy task. He studied their eating habits and found ways to feed them. Slowly, he began to enjoy it. He forgot the video games he used to love. One day, however, the turtles disappeared. At first, Albert’s parents worried that he would return to video games, but this didn’t happen. Instead, he went to the pet shop and came back with a turtle and some other small animals.
Now Albert often learns new things about animals on the computer instead of playing video games.
38. What did Albert like doing in the past?

① Reading is an amazing and fantastic experience that only humans can do. Just by looking at printed words on a page, we can travel across time and space in our mind. We can walk in the shoes of people who lived thousands of years ago. We can explore (探索) imaginary lands. We can make friends with fictional heroes. We can stare at the darkest, farthest corners of the stars.
② But let’s be real. Reading can be hard. That’s especially true when we’re tired, bored or faced with big words and ideas. Besides, reading can be much harder for some than for others. Luckily, scientists are looking into the ways our brains make sense of written language. Their studies have given us a few suggestions about how to make reading easier. By taking up these suggestions, reading can be an even better experience.
③ First, read in print whenever possible. There are several reasons for this. One is that our eyes will probably not skip over (跳过) printed words. However, we do this more often with on-screen words. Also, reading on a printed page helps the brain make a map of the information in our mind. That map, in turn, makes it easier to remember details (细节) in the future.
④ When we have to read on-screen, we can try making the size of the words larger. Words are easier to read when the letters are not close together.
⑤ Finally, when reading something difficult, such as a scientific article, use an active method. On the sides of a page, write down and explain new words. Translate difficult paragraphs into a form that is understandable. Most importantly, be patient. Our brain is taking these words and making them mean something. That is an unbelievable skill, no matter how long it takes us.
42. Which question is answered in the first two paragraphs?
A. What kinds of stories should we read?
B. Why is reading sometimes hard?
C. What is the development history of books?
D. How do our brains make sense of written language?
43. What does Paragraph 4 tell us?
A. Good books to read on-screen. B. Good ways to help read on-screen.
C. The reason why people read on-screen. D. The reason why reading is a good habit.
44. How can we deal with difficult texts according to Paragraph 5?
A. By copying them. B. By increasing reading speed.
C. By writing them in our own words. D. By reading them over and over again.
45. Which is the right structure of the passage?
A. ①/②/③④⑤ B. ①②/③④/⑤ C. ①②/③/④⑤ D. ①/②/③/④⑤

今天你微笑了吗？世界微笑日的设立旨在让每个人感受微笑的意义，乐观面对生活。请你阅读相关介绍，补全信息，每空限填一词。
As the saying goes, “A smile is the best medicine.” Nothing can make a sick heart feel better than a warm smile. When you smile, your brain (大脑) produces some special chemicals (化学物质). Together, they work to make you feel calm and relaxed. Smiling more often can even make your immune (免疫的) system stronger.
World Smile Day is celebrated on the first Friday of October every year. The holiday was set up by American artist Harvey Ball. Ball created his famous yellow smiley face symbol in 1963. People loved it and more and more businesses began to use it. Ball became worried that the symbol was losing its original (最初的) meaning. To encourage people to spread the “real” smile, he came up with the idea for World Smile Day.
The theme (主题) of the day is, “Do an act of kindness. Help one person smile.” This can be as simple as smiling at everyone you meet. You can also cook a dish for your parents or give a small gift to your friend. It would be even better if you could do some volunteer work, such as helping the elderly and cleaning up the environment.
Let’s spread laughter and hope on World Smile Day！

① Reading is an amazing and fantastic experience that only humans can do. Just by looking at printed words on a page, we can travel across time and space in our mind. We can walk in the shoes of people who lived thousands of years ago. We can explore (探索) imaginary lands. We can make friends with fictional heroes. We can stare at the darkest, farthest corners of the stars.
② But let’s be real. Reading can be hard. That’s especially true when we’re tired, bored or faced with big words and ideas. Besides, reading can be much harder for some than for others. Luckily, scientists are looking into the ways our brains make sense of written language. Their studies have given us a few suggestions about how to make reading easier. By taking up these suggestions, reading can be an even better experience.
③ First, read in print whenever possible. There are several reasons for this. One is that our eyes will probably not skip over (跳过) printed words. However, we do this more often with on-screen words. Also, reading on a printed page helps the brain make a map of the information in our mind. That map, in turn, makes it easier to remember details (细节) in the future.
④ When we have to read on-screen, we can try making the size of the words larger. Words are easier to read when the letters are not close together.
⑤ Finally, when reading something difficult, such as a scientific article, use an active method. On the sides of a page, write down and explain new words. Translate difficult paragraphs into a form that is understandable. Most importantly, be patient. Our brain is taking these words and making them mean something. That is an unbelievable skill, no matter how long it takes us.
42. Which question is answered in the first two paragraphs?
A. What kinds of stories should we read?
B. Why is reading sometimes hard?
C. What is the development history of books?
D. How do our brains make sense of written language?
43. What does Paragraph 4 tell us?
A. Good books to read on-screen. B. Good ways to help read on-screen.
C. The reason why people read on-screen. D. The reason why reading is a good habit.
44. How can we deal with difficult texts according to Paragraph 5?
A. By copying them. B. By increasing reading speed.
C. By writing them in our own words. D. By reading them over and over again.
45. Which is the right structure of the passage?
A. ①/②/③④⑤ B. ①②/③④/⑤ C. ①②/③/④⑤ D. ①/②/③/④⑤

六、任务型阅读 (共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分)
今天你微笑了吗？世界微笑日的设立旨在让每个人感受微笑的意义，乐观面对生活。请你阅读相关介绍，补全信息，每空限填一词。
As the saying goes, “A smile is the best medicine.” Nothing can make a sick heart feel better than a warm smile. When you smile, your brain (大脑) produces some special chemicals (化学物质). Together, they work to make you feel calm and relaxed. Smiling more often can even make your immune (免疫的) system stronger.
World Smile Day is celebrated on the first Friday of October every year. The holiday was set up by American artist Harvey Ball. Ball created his famous yellow smiley face symbol in 1963. People loved it and more and more businesses began to use it. Ball became worried that the symbol was losing its original (最初的) meaning. To encourage people to spread the “real” smile, he came up with the idea for World Smile Day.
The theme (主题) of the day is, “Do an act of kindness. Help one person smile.” This can be as simple as smiling at everyone you meet. You can also cook a dish for your parents or give a small gift to your friend. It would be even better if you could do some volunteer work, such as helping the elderly and cleaning up the environment.
Let’s spread laughter and hope on World Smile Day！
