Many Westerners have the idea that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu. This is, of course, a silly belief. But it is true that kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.
Like most people from the West, I was first introduced to kung fu through Hong Kong action films. Stars like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan made kung fu popular in the Western world. The flashy and impressive performances they gave in films like Rumble in the Bronx and Enter the Dragon made them household names in the U.S. and elsewhere.
However, my own personal interest in kung fu was actually inspired by a hip hop group. Wu-Tang Clan, founded in the early 1990s in New York City, is one of the most influential hip hop groups in history.
In their songs, they sometimes mention philosophical concepts that come from Wudang quan—a classic Chinese martial art from which they take their name—and Shaolin Temple. I was just a teenager when I first started listening to Wu-Tang Clan—little did I know that I would actually end up living in China later in my life!
I myself do not practice kung fu. However, the concepts behind it are quite interesting to me. There is a Bruce Lee quote that I often think of when I'm struggling with challenges in life. “Be formless, shapeless, like water,” he once said. By this, he meant that you should be ready to adapt to and change your attitudes or beliefs when you face difficulties. I think this is a good way to deal with life.
4. What does “a silly belief” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A. All Chinese people can do kung fu.
B. China is most famous for its kung fu.
C. Kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.
D. Many Westerners admire kung fu.
5. What inspired the author's interest in kung fu
A. Hong Kong action movies. B. A TV program about kung fu.
C. Kung fu stars in Hollywood. D. A US hip hop group.
6. What do we know about the Wu-Tang Clan
A. They have Chinese culture in their songs.
B. They taught the author how to do Wudang quan.
C. They performed Chinese martial arts in the U.S.
D. They showed the author the way to live in China.
7. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. The author was sorry that he couldn't do kung fu.
B. The concepts of kung fu change over time.
C. The spirit of kung fu helps the author overcome difficulties.
D. Bruce Lee was the most popular martial arts master.
C
At the age of seven，while his friends were spending their allowance（零花钱） on things like candy and toys，Jose Adolfo Quisocola was busy saving money for basic purchases.To try to get his peers(同龄人)to do the same，the boy from Peru came up with the idea of an eco-bank，the Bartselana Student Bank，which allows kids of all ages to become financially independent while also helping the environment.
Set up in 2012，the bank is the world’s first bank for kids.To become a member，a kid has to bring in at least 5 kilograms of waste and set a savings goal.Once accepted，all bank“partners”are required to deposit at least one additional kilogram of recyclables on a monthly basis and observe other requirements，such as attending financial education and environmental management workshops.“At the beginning，my teachers thought I was crazy and thought that a child could not undertake this type of project，”Jose recalls.“They did not understand that we are not the future of the country but its present.Luckily，I had the support of the school headmaster and an assistant in my class.”
The boy’s efforts paid off，and by 2013，the bank had over 200 members，who brought in one ton of recyclable waste.Today，the eco-bank，which now has the support of several local institutions，boasts ten educational centers.They are designed to teach over 3，000 students，aged 10 to 18，to become financially independent，use their money wisely，and help the environment.
Not surprisingly，Jose’s efforts have earned him several national and international awards.On November 20，2018，Jose won Children’s Climate Prize，which comes with a medal and $ 5，500 in prize money and is given to a child or youth who has accomplished an extraordinary achievement for the climate or environment.
8 Why did Jose set up the bank
A. To raise money and set up a recycling company.
B. To buy necessities and donate them to needy kids.
C. To save much money and protect the environment.
D. To educate the students and help them win prizes.
9. How can a kid become the member of eco-bank
A. By donating to the eco-bank
B. By turning in one kilogram of waste in a month.
C. By sending in an application.
D. By presenting a savings goal and a certain amount of waste.
10. How did the teachers feel about Jose’s program
A. Doubtful. B. Excited. C. Moved. D. Worried.
11. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. How the environment is improved.
B. What the project has achieved.
C. How tons of waste has been recycled.
D. What support the local institutions get.

Once there was a little girl named Emily. Although her singing was very pleasant to hear, lacking of courage, she never dared to sing in front of strangers.
One summer, the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said, “ I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said, “ it’s okay, just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid (胆小的) to walked onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing, but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forget the lyrics (歌词) after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and said, “ Emily, coward (胆小鬼)! Emily, coward! ” Emily didn’t argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally, she rushed into the house, hugged her mom and cried sadly.
“Well, my poor girl. Don’t cry. Tell me what happened to you.” asked her mom. Emily looked up at her mother and told her what she had experienced.
Listening to her, her mom cupped her face and said, “it doesn’t matter, girl. As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little. So, my girl, don’t be beaten by a failure. You can go out to practice singing every day. No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and never stop. I believe there will be a harvest for you. ”

【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文体。开篇作者指出许多西方人以为每个中国人都会功夫这一错误观点，然后描述了自己如何了解和更懂中国功夫，并且把它的哲学理念融入到自己的生活中，当自己面对困难的时候，会用这些理念帮助自己解决问题。
【4题详解】
词义猜测题。从第一段中“Many Westerners have the idea that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu. This is, of course, a silly belief.” 可知，许多西方人以为每个中国人都会功夫，显而易见，这是观点是荒谬的。通过上下文，a silly belief 就是指everyone in China knows how to do kung fu。所以通过上文文语境可以判断出，划线词的意思是是“所有的中国人都会功夫。”故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。从第三段中“However, my own personal interest in kung fu was actually inspired by a hip hop group.” 可知，作者真正开始喜欢中国功夫是被a hip hop group激发的。故选D项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。从第四段中“In their songs, they sometimes mention philosophical concepts that come from Wudang quan”可知，在一些hip hop的歌曲里，会涉及一些武当拳的哲学理念，比如第五段中的“Be formless, shapeless, like water,” 就是一种中国哲学理念。A. They have Chinese culture in their songs.（在他们歌曲里含有中国文化）符合以上说法。故选A项。
【7题详解】

The spirit of kung fu helps the author overcome difficulties.（功夫的精神帮助作者克服困难）符合以上推断。故选C项。
【点睛】词义猜测题着重考查考生根据上下文猜测词义能力，这也是一个从“已知”得出“未知”的过程，就是利用上下文已知的部分（尤其是该词或短语前后的句子）进行推理，有时候还需要依靠常识和经验来猜测词义。第一题就是词义猜测题，上文说“Many Westerners have the idea that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu.”得出的结论是，“This is, of course, a silly belief.”所以得出a silly belief 就是指everyone in China knows how to do kung fu。所以通过上下文语境可以判断出，划线词的意思是是“所有的中国人都会功夫。故选A项。

At the age of seven，while his friends were spending their allowance（零花钱） on things like candy and toys，Jose Adolfo Quisocola was busy saving money for basic purchases.To try to get his peers(同龄人)to do the same，the boy from Peru came up with the idea of an eco-bank，the Bartselana Student Bank，which allows kids of all ages to become financially independent while also helping the environment.
Set up in 2012，the bank is the world’s first bank for kids.To become a member，a kid has to bring in at least 5 kilograms of waste and set a savings goal.Once accepted，all bank“partners”are required to deposit at least one additional kilogram of recyclables on a monthly basis and observe other requirements，such as attending financial education and environmental management workshops.“At the beginning，my teachers thought I was crazy and thought that a child could not undertake this type of project，”Jose recalls.“They did not understand that we are not the future of the country but its present.Luckily，I had the support of the school headmaster and an assistant in my class.”
The boy’s efforts paid off，and by 2013，the bank had over 200 members，who brought in one ton of recyclable waste.Today，the eco-bank，which now has the support of several local institutions，boasts ten educational centers.They are designed to teach over 3，000 students，aged 10 to 18，to become financially independent，use their money wisely，and help the environment.
Not surprisingly，Jose’s efforts have earned him several national and international awards.On November 20，2018，Jose won Children’s Climate Prize，which comes with a medal and $ 5，500 in prize money and is given to a child or youth who has accomplished an extraordinary achievement for the climate or environment.

A. To raise money and set up a recycling company.
B. To buy necessities and donate them to needy kids.

A. By donating to the eco-bank
B. By turning in one kilogram of waste in a month.
C. By sending in an application.

【32题详解】

【33题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。表示“在几月份”应用介词in。故填in。
【34题详解】
考查冠词。句意：弗莱明是一位来自苏格兰的科学家，他在假期结束后回到实验室，在他的一个细菌皿中发现了一些霉菌。scientist为可数名词，此处表示泛指，且scientist发音以辅音音素开头，需用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【35题详解】
考查名词。句意同上。one of后面需加名词复数形式。故填plates。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：他发现霉菌周围的细菌都死了。分析句子结构可知，that引导的宾语从句中已有谓语动词were，空处需填非谓语动词作后置定语，修饰名词the bacteria，the bacteria和surround为逻辑上的主谓关系，需用现在分词形式。故填surrounding。
【37题详解】

【38题详解】
考查副词。句意：他完全明白这对治疗伤口是非常有用的。修饰形容词aware，需用副词wholly作状语。故填wholly。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意同上。位于be动词后面，需填形容词作表语。故填useful。
【40题详解】

42. Whenever I feel lonely, I have a secret recipe that never fails. (英译汉）
【答案】每当我感到孤独，我都有一个屡试不爽的秘方。
【解析】
【详解】考查从句和短语。whenever引导时间状语从句，意为“每当”，feel lonely为从句的系动词和表语，意为“感到孤独”；a secret recipe是主句宾语，意为“一个秘方”，that never fails是修饰a secret recipe的定语从句，意为“屡试不爽”。故翻译为：每当我感到孤独，我都有一个屡试不爽的秘方。
43. It was not that difficult to make a simple and tasty dish. (英译汉）
【答案】做出简单可口的菜肴并没那么难。
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查it作形式主语。分析句子可知，It为形式主语，真正的主语为动词不定式短语“to make a simple and tasty dish”，意为“做出简单可口的菜肴”，“was not that difficult”为系表结构，意为“没那么难”，故翻译：做出简单可口的菜肴并没那么难。
【点睛】
44. Food is as fundamental to man as the people are to the state. (英译汉）
【答案】民以食为天，国以民为本。
【解析】
【详解】考查句子结构。分析句子可知，本句主句是主系表结构，主语是food“食物”，is是系动词，表语是fundamental“基本的”，as…as…为固定结构，意为“和……一样”，第一个as是副词，修饰形容词fundamental，第二个as是连词，引导从句，to man表示“人们”，the people are to the state表示“人民对于国家”。故翻译成：民以食为天，国以民为本。
45. 青霉素被广泛认为是历史上最重要的医疗发现之一。(汉译英）
【答案】Penicillin is widely considered to be one of the most important medical discoveries in history.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。此处主语为名词penicillin；表示“被广泛认为是”短语为be widely considered to；表示“历史上最重要的医疗发现之一”翻译为be one of the most important medical discoveries in history。句子应用一般现在时。故翻译为Penicillin is widely considered to be one of the most important medical discoveries in history.
46. 从广义上说，治愈系食物指的是任何能改善我们心情的食物。(汉译英）
【答案】In its broadest sense, comfort food refers to any food that makes us feel better.
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句，时态及主谓一致。讲的是事实，时态用一般现在时，表示“从广义上说”可用介词短语in its broadest sense；“治愈食物”可用名词短语“comfort food”，表示“指”可用动词短语refer to。注意此处“能改善我们心情的”可翻译为定语从句修饰限定名词短语“任何食物”（any food在从句中作主语，用关系代词that，注意主谓一致），make sb. do sth. (让某人做某事)；以及句子主语comfort food是不可数名词，所以谓语动词要用三单式。故翻译为In its broadest sense, comfort food refers to any food that makes us feel better。

One summer, the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said, “ I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said, “ it’s okay, just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid (胆小的) to walked onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing, but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forget the lyrics (歌词) after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and said, “ Emily, coward (胆小鬼)! Emily, coward! ” Emily didn’t argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally, she rushed into the house, hugged her mom and cried sadly.
“Well my poor girl. Don’t cry. Tell me what happened to you.” asked her mom. Emily looked up at her mother and told her what she had experienced.
Listening to her, her mom cupped her face and said, “it doesn’t matter, girl. As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little.

【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达属于读后续写。要求考生阅读所给情节后续写两段内容，每段第一句都已给出。
【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，Emily唱歌很好听，但是她没有勇气在人前唱歌。一年夏天，Emily在朋友Lucy的邀请和妈妈的鼓励下，参加了一个歌唱比赛。由于太紧张，歌唱声音很小，甚至忘记了歌词。淘气的男孩们嘲笑她是胆小鬼。Emily哭着跑回了家。妈妈知道后，鼓励她要克服不敢在人前歌唱的问题，并相信她一定会有收获。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：Emily认真地听妈妈讲话，并听从了妈妈的建议。那么接下来应该接着写：第二天Emily就开始在外面练习唱歌。慢慢地，她开始变得勇敢，唱歌的声音也变大了。后来，当她练习的时候，碰见嘲笑她的男孩再次嘲笑她，她也不理睬。第二段开头是：她继续歌唱着，她走进了公园，这里有很多人在唱歌、跳舞。接下来应该接着写：公园的人都被Emily美妙的声音吸引了并为她鼓掌，这时Emily感觉到自己可以在陌生人面前勇敢地唱歌了。第二年，Emily再一次参加了那个歌唱比赛，所有人都为她的表演欢呼。Emily的妈妈很高兴看到女儿如今变得这么勇敢。
注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当，情节生动，内容完整，符合题目要求。范文中使用的一些词汇和句型值得我们学习。高级词汇/短语，如：gradually，ignore，go on doing，in front of，be delighted to do，stopped to do等；高级句型。非谓语动词作状语：Hearing her beautiful voice, some stopped to listen to her singing and clapped for her. 非限制性定语从句：Going on singing, she walked into the park, where many people were singing and dancing.
