VIII、阅读理解（本大题共20小题，共40分）
A
Easter is a religious(宗教的) holiday that is celebrated during spring in Western countries. An Easter egg hunt is a game during which Easter eggs are hidden for children to find.
This Easter, we held an Easter egg hunt. They told us that one thousand eggs were hidden in our school. The class that found the most eggs in one day would win a prize.
Our class wanted to win very much. This was easier said than done, but our team leaders, Rose and Charlotte, had a good plan. We should all arrive to school early. We would spread out across the school in small groups—each group would be in charge of(负责) one floor. We would put all of our eggs into one bag, which Rose would keep safe until the end of the day. Most importantly, we must not eat the eggs.
When the day finally came, I was the last one to arrive. Everyone had already collected lots of Easter eggs—some had 20, some a bit less than 30 and two girls even found 42! I regretted coming late. But I was able to find a few at lunchtime.
The chocolate eggs were hidden in places like teacher’s drawers( no one dared to open them), stuck(粘贴) behind the blackboards, inside the display shelf , behind trophies(奖杯) and stuck in a hole in a doorframe(门框).
By the end of the day, we had 196 Easter eggs! Winning the prize is not important. If everyone works together, then we can do anything.
57．What was held to celebrate Easter in the school this year
A．An Easter party. B．An Easter egg hunt.
C．An egg eating competition. D．A chocolate eating competition.
58．The third paragraph is written to _________.
A．explain what an Easter egg hunt is B．explain the plan of the writer’s team
C．introduce the writer’s team members D．tell that the eggs were not real eggs
59．The underlined word “regretted” in the passage probably means ________ in Chinese.
A．惊喜 B．失败 C．后悔 D．成功
60．The chocolate eggs were mainly hidden in places that ________
A．are dangerous to go to B．students can find easily
C．are designed (设计) to hide things D．students usually don’t notice
B
If you’re a book lover, you have a pile of books on your beside or a bookshelf in your library with a “to read” sign on it. Yet you can’t stop yourself from adding to the pile. This can lead to feelings of guilt over your new purchases. But I’m here to tell you to stop worrying.
What you have is an antilibrary, and it’s a very good thing. The term comes from writer Umberto Eoo. He is the owner of a large personal library. He separates visitors into two groups: those who react with “Wow! What a library you have! How many of these books have you read ” and the others who get the point that a private library is not something to show off but a research tool. Read books are far less valuable than unread ones. Indeed, the more you know, the larger the rows of unread books. Let us call this collection an antilibrary.
If you think you already know everything about a subject, you’re cutting yourself off from a steam of information at an artificial(假的) point. So a growing library of books you haven’t read means you’re consistently curious about the unknown. And that attitude is a great basis for a lifelong love of learning.
So don’t feel guilty over your unread books. Those books will be there for you when you do want them, and as you build your library of read and unread books, you can start using it as you would use a bigger library. Certain books may become references(参考书) more than read-throughs. Or you may find that a book you bought five years ago has special relevance today.
Letting the role of books evolve in your life is a healthy sign of curiosity. That’s good for you and good for the world around you.
61．What does the underlined word “antilibrary” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Feelings of guilt over new books. B．A pile of books on the bookshelf.
C．The collection of unread books. D．A large personal library.
62．According to the author, more unread books mean ________.
A．your lifelong leaning attitude is wrong B．you limit yourself from the unknown
C．you have known a lot about the world D．you are eager to know the new world.
63．What's the author’s attitude towards having an antilibrary
A．Negative. B．Doubtful. C．Supportive. D．Uncertain.

It was Mother’s Day. John was so busy with his work that he couldn’t go back home. When he passed by a flower shop in the evening, an idea came to his mind. “I’ll send Mum some roses (玫瑰).”
While John was picking his flowers, a young man went inside. “How many roses can I get for only five dollars, Madam ” he asked. The salesgirl told him roses were as expensive as forty dollars a dozen (一打). Maybe he would be happy with carnations(康乃馨). She told him they were much cheaper than roses.
“No, I have to have red roses,” he said, “My mum was badly ill last year and I didn’t spend much time with her. Now I want to get something special. It has to be roses. Roses are her favorite.”
After hearing this, John said he would pay the rest of the money for the young man. Moved by both of them, the salesgirl said, “Well, lovely young men, thirty dollars a dozen, only for you two.” Taking the roses, the young man jumped with joy. He thanked John, and ran out of the shop. It was well worth twenty-five dollars John paid to see the exciting moment. Then John paid for his dozen of roses and told the salesgirl to send them to his mother.
As he walked out, he felt nice. Suddenly he saw the young man crossing the street and going into a park. But soon he realized it was not a park but a cemetery(墓地). Crying, the young man carefully laid the roses, “Mum, oh, Mum, why didn’t I tell you how much I loved you God, please help me find my mum and tell her I love her.”
Seeing this, John turned and quickly walked back to the shop. He would take the flowers home himself.

The Long March 5 Y3 is China’s strongest rocket. XINHUA
China’s biggest and most powerful carrier (运载) rocket roared (轰鸣) into space on Dec 27, 2019. The Long March 5 kicked off its mission (任务) at the Wenchang Space Launch Center in Hainan.
The 57-meter-tall rocket, known as the Long March 5 Y3, is the tallest, strongest and most technologically sophisticated (技术复杂的) rocket in China. Since it is much bigger than China’s other Long March rockets, people call it “Fat 5”. The rocket is able to carry spacecraft (航天器) weighing up to 25 tons – roughly the weight of 16 midsize cars – into low-Earth orbit (近地轨道), China Daily reported. This payload capacity (有效载荷) is about 2.5 times greater than that of any other Chinese rocket.
During the December launch, the Long March 5 successfully sent the Shijian 20 experimental satellite into orbit. At more than 8 tons, it is the heaviest and most advanced communications (通信) satellite built by China.
The launch also tested key technologies that will be used to take the Chang’e 5 probe (探测器) to the moon, according to the China National Space Administration.
The success of the Long March 5 launch was hard-earned. The rocket’s first launch was carried out in November 2016 at the Wenchang center. A second mission took place in July 2017 at the same site, but failed to send a satellite into orbit. According to project leaders, in the two years since that failure, the rocket’s research team held more than 600 seminars (研讨会) and carried out at least 1,000 experiments and tests to improve the rocket.
“Compared with the Long March 5 Y2 that was used in the failed second mission, the new one has about 200 technical improvements, including changes to the engine design,” Li Dong, the rocket’s chief designer (总设计师), said to China Daily.
The future missions of the Long March 5 will include a trip to Mars, taking back moon samples (样本), and placing parts of a manned (载人的) space station into orbit.
69．What do we know about the Long March 5
A．It was launched at the start of 2019.
B．It was launched in Xichang.
C．It is the tallest rocket in the world.
D．It is the biggest Long March rocket.
70．What is the payload capacity of other Chinese rockets
A．About 2.5 tons. B．About 10 tons.
C．About 25 tons. D．About 63 tons.
71．The Long March 5 was used to _____.
A．improve satellite engineering technologies
B．send China’s heaviest satellite into orbit
C．take the Chang’e 5 probe to the moon
D．send a manned space station into orbit
72．What the meaning of the underline word
A．很难赚钱的 B．来之不易的 C．奋勇向前的 D．气馁的
73．What is the last paragraph about
A．When the Long March 5 will stop working.
B．How China’s space station will be built.
C．What the Long March 5 will be used for in the future.
D．What China’s space exploration will focus on in the future.

Dear Amy,
I couldn’t read your two e-mails until today because my computer was broken. I’m sorry to hear about your problem, but I’m glad you’re feeling better and are recovering (康复). I’m surprised that in China someone’s liver (肝脏) matched yours! This is really a moving story—a stranger donated part of his liver to a girl he doesn’t even know!
You’re right. We shouldn’t care too much about our weight. I’m happy you stopped taking those losing-weight pills. From your photo I can see you are now looking very well in the hospital. To keep slim is important, especially for an actress, but nothing is more important than health. Your doctor’s advice is indeed very good—exercise for at least half an hour every day and eat lots of fruit and vegetables.
It’s not only in your country. It’s the same here with us Chinese—many people are always going on diets or taking losing-weight pills, which are often dangerous. But in fact, some of them are not overweight at all. I hope these people can learn something from your story. Hope you will leave hospital as soon as possible.
Love,
Helen

Learn to Be Thankful
I still remember a rainy day when I was in Grade 7. On that day, l overslept and hurried to school by bike. At a street corner, I fell down and hurt my legs so badly that I couldn’t move at all. A passer-by sent me to the hospital at once. I was so thankful that I decided to help others from then on. A few weeks later, on my way to school, I saw a blind man standing at a crossing. I helped him cross the street and showed him the place he wanted to go to. How happy I was!
It’s important for us to learn to be thankful. If everyone can help each other, the world will be full of love.
