From then on, Mao Sui became a well-known hero of the state.
One day, Shang Yang put a thin wooden stick near the south gate of the capital of Qin. He promised to pay 10 gold pieces to anyone who could move it to the north gate. It was such a simple job that all the people thought Shang was joking. Then he added 40moregold pieces. A man moved it and he really got 50 gold pieces. After that, the people of Qin believed Shang was a man of his word. So they all followed Shang's new laws later.

Some think that Huang Qiaoyan is like the German Brothers Grimm. That is because the middle school teacher in Guangdong Province’s Dongguan has compiled(汇编) more than 200 Chinese fairy tales(神话故事) over the past ten years. Her love of these Chinese stories drove her to finish this work.
The idea came to her when she was not satisfied(满意) with a book of Chinese folk stories she borrowed from the library many years ago. “The stories of the book were dry. They were far from interesting,” she said.
Her husband encouraged her to compile interesting fairy tales for their child and all Chinese children. After her husband passed away a few years ago, she decided to complete this work.
It was very difficult for Huang to find materials(材料).
“I read all kinds of texts and took notes. I wrote down the most wonderful parts of different versions(版本), felt them with my heart and tried to put the pieces together. The stories were completed this way. My son liked them very much. I told them to other children. They also enjoyed them,” she said.
Huang wrote almost all of the story of Cang Jie Creates Chinese Characters because she didn’t like the materials she had. She could only find one version of the tale of the Dragon Well and Water Fairy. She kept retelling the story until it became easy to understand. After that, she wrote it down in her own words.
She loved the old words the Tang Dynasty writer Li Zhaowei used in Liu Yi Delivers A Letter. But the ancient Chinese is difficult for children. She thought about it for a long time and decided to keep this story. Then she translated(翻译) and rewrote it.
Huang has collected over 10,000 stories and chose about 300 of the best known that are easy and educational for children. She won the 2009 Bing Xin Children’s Literature Award for a fairy tale she created.
Time is Huang’s greatest challenge today. As a Chinese teacher, her teaching schedule is often full. But she still continues to rewrite 400 fairy tales. “I love those stories. The more I read and write and put my heart into them, the more deeply I feel about their importance,” she said.
29Why did Miss Huang want to create a book about Chinese fairy tales
A. Because her husband wanted her to be a famous fairy tale writer.
B. Because she thought other books were not good enough.
C. Because her child was interested in her stories very much.
D. Because her students wanted to read some wonderful stories.
30 How did Huang finish the story Dragon Well and Water Fairy
A. She found a version, retold the story and then wrote it down in her own words.
B. She wrote almost all of the story in her own words after reading the text.
C. She found different versions, chose the most interesting one and wrote it down.
D. She kept the old words and translated the story with easy words.
31.The book Miss Huang created is _______.
A. famous and easy B. useful and strange
C. difficult and educational D. interesting and educational
32. Which of the following is true according to the passage
A. German Brothers Grimm’s book is not easy for children to read.
B. Miss Huang won the Bing Xin Children’s Literature Award for her great work.
C. Miss Huang’s favourite writer is Li Zhaowei from the Tang Dynasty.
D. Now Miss Huang stops writing her stories because she has little free time.

A long time ago there was a king called Minos. He controlled the island of Crete. And he also had a horrible monster called the Minotaur. The Minotaur lived at the centre of a very large maze(迷宫). It had the body of a man but the head of a bull, and it liked eating children.
Minos was a bad king. When he was bored, he would attack his neighbour island called Athens. To stop the fights, King Aegeus of Athens promised King Minos to send seven boys and seven girls to his monster the Minotaur every nine years.
It was time again to send the children to Crete. Theseus, the son of King Aegeus, could not stand this, and decided to go as the seventh boy and kill the Minotaur. He promised his father that if he was successful, he would use white sails(船帆) instead of the black ones to show he was alive.
When arriving in Crete, Theseus met King Minos’ daughter called Ariadne. She fell sorry about him and wanted to help him. So when the soldiers took the children to the Minotaur, Ariadne gave Theseus a ball of string and a knife. Theseus left a line of string behind him when he entered the large maze. After he killed the monster, he followed the string and got out of the palace. Ariadne was waiting outside. They quickly ran away together before Minos could catch them.
However, on the journey home, Theseus was very excited and he forgot to change the colour of the sails. As soon as King Aegeus saw the black sails, he was so sad and jumped into the sea. Since then, that sea has been called the Aegean Sea(爱琴海) to remember King Aegeus.
33 King Aegeus agreed to send _______ to King Minos every nine years to stop the fights.
A. a bull B. his son C. some ships D. fourteen children
34 What does the underlined word “stand” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese
A. 站立 B. 忍受 C. 抵抗 D. 停止
35 How did Theseus get out of the large maze
A. King Minos’ daughter Ariadne showed him the way out.
B. He and the other children worked together to find the way.
C. He followed the string he left when going into the large maze.
D. His father King Aegeus came to help him.
36.Why did King Aegeus jump into the sea
A. Because King Minos came to catch him.
B. Because he thought his son died.
C. Because he was afraid of the monster.
D. Because his people did not like him.
【答案】DBCD
【解析】33.D细节理解题。从第二段King Aegeus of Athens promised King Minos to send seven boys and seven girls to his monster the Minotaur every nine years.可知答案选D
34.B 词义猜测。从后文要去杀死这怪物可知前面stand是“忍受”之意。
35.C细节理解题。从Theseus left a line of string behind him when he entered the large maze. After he killed the monster, he followed the string and got out of the palace.当Theseus 进入大迷宫时，他身后留下了一条绳子。在他杀死了怪物后，他跟着绳子走出了宫殿.故答案选C
36.D 推理判断。前文提及如果Theseus 杀死怪物，回来时就挂白帆，表示他还活着。但是他忘了更改成白帆。所以国王Aegeus看到黑帆时以为Theseus死了，伤心跳海自杀了。
D
In the 13th century, Marco Polo, the world known Italian traveler, saw many wonderful things in China. One of the things he discovered was money made of paper. People in the West did not have such kind of money until the 15th century. However, the Chinese began to use it in the 7th century
Paper was invented by a Chinese man called Cai Lun almost 2,000 years ago. But it was not made in Europe until the year 1, 100. Four hundred years later, a German discovered that he could make the best paper from trees. After that countries rich in forests, such as Canada, Sweden, America, Finland became the most important ones in paper making.
Paper can be used in many ways. The common uses include newspapers, magazines and books. But do you know that paper can be used for keeping warm In Finland, the farmers wear paper boots to keep their feet warm in the snow. And even houses can be insulated from heat or cold with paper.
However, we have to understand that paper still comes from trees now. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth some day in the near future. Every day people throw away about 2, 800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting down nearly 48, 000 trees every day. The fact is that it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow.
So we must start saving paper right now. We can use both sides of every piece of paper. We can make useful things out of used paper. We can use china cups instead of paper ones. When shopping, we can use fewer paper bags and reuse them if we have some.
In short, we should keep a balance between using paper and protecting trees, and do it now before it is too late.
37．When did the Chinese begin to use paper money
A．In the 5th century. B．In the 6th century
C．In the 7th century. D．In the 15th century.
38．Why did Canada become an important country in paper making
A．Because it was a large country.
B．Because it had lots of forests.
C．Because it was a very rich country.
D．Because the inventor was from Canada.
39．In Finland, paper is used for________.
A．making bed B．reducing waste
C．making umbrellas D．keeping warm
40．Paragraph 5 mainly talks about________.
A．how paper boots are made B．how paper was invented
C．how we can save paper D．how we can make useful things
【答案】CBDC
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。起初介绍的是纸张发明和使用的历史，最后其实是一篇呼吁人们节约用纸的文章。保护地球，从我做起。
37．C细节理解题。根据文中“However, the Chinese began to use it in the 7th century”可知，中国人在七世纪
开始使用纸币。故选C。
38．B细节理解题。根据文中“After that countries rich in forests, such as Canada, Sweden, America, Finland
became the most important ones in paper making.”可知，加拿大成为世界上造纸最重要的国家是因为加拿大的
森林丰富。故选B。
39．D 细节理解题。根据文中“In Finland, the farmers wear paper boots to keep their feet warm in the snow. And
even houses can be insulated from heat or cold with paper.”可知，芬兰人用纸来保暖。故选D。
40．C主旨大意题。根据第五段“So we must start saving paper right now. We can use both sides of every piece of
paper. We can make useful things out of used paper. We can use china cups instead of paper ones. When shopping,
we can use fewer paper bags and reuse them if we have some.”可知，本段主要介绍我们如何节约纸张。故选C。

In the Warring States Period, the State of Qin had a fight with the State of Zhao, Zhao needed some talented people to ask for help from Chu. Then Mao Sui—the man who believed he was the right person for this task came and recommended (推荐) himself. And he made the king of Chu send the army to help successfully. Zhao was safe. From then on, Mao Sui became a well-known hero of the state.
One day, Shang Yang put a thin wooden stick near the south gate of the capital of Qin. He promised to pay 10 gold pieces to anyone who could move it to the north gate. It was such a simple job that all the people thought Shang was joking. Then he added 40moregold pieces. A man moved it and he really got 50 gold pieces. After that, the people of Qin believed Shang was a man of his word. So they all followed Shang's new laws later.
Yu Boya was good at playing the qin (琴).

Unluckily, Boya couldn't meet Ziqi anymore after that because he had died of an illness. He was so sad that he broke the qin and never played it again.

Some think that Huang Qiaoyan is like the German Brothers Grimm. That is because the middle school teacher in Guangdong Province’s Dongguan has compiled(汇编) more than 200 Chinese fairy tales(神话故事) over the past ten years. Her love of these Chinese stories drove her to finish this work.
The idea came to her when she was not satisfied(满意) with a book of Chinese folk stories she borrowed from the library many years ago. “The stories of the book were dry. They were far from interesting,” she said.
Her husband encouraged her to compile interesting fairy tales for their child and all Chinese children. After her husband passed away a few years ago, she decided to complete this work.
It was very difficult for Huang to find materials(材料).
“I read all kinds of texts and took notes. I wrote down the most wonderful parts of different versions(版本), felt them with my heart and tried to put the pieces together. The stories were completed this way. My son liked them very much. I told them to other children. They also enjoyed them,” she said.
Huang wrote almost all of the story of Cang Jie Creates Chinese Characters because she didn’t like the materials she had. She could only find one version of the tale of the Dragon Well and Water Fairy. She kept retelling the story until it became easy to understand. After that, she wrote it down in her own words.
She loved the old words the Tang Dynasty writer Li Zhaowei used in Liu Yi Delivers A Letter. But the ancient Chinese is difficult for children. She thought about it for a long time and decided to keep this story. Then she translated(翻译) and rewrote it.
Huang has collected over 10,000 stories and chose about 300 of the best known that are easy and educational for children. She won the 2009 Bing Xin Children’s Literature Award for a fairy tale she created.
Time is Huang’s greatest challenge today. As a Chinese teacher, her teaching schedule is often full. But she still continues to rewrite 400 fairy tales. “I love those stories. The more I read and write and put my heart into them, the more deeply I feel about their importance,” she said.

A. Because her husband wanted her to be a famous fairy tale writer.
B. Because she thought other books were not good enough.
C. Because her child was interested in her stories very much.
D. Because her students wanted to read some wonderful stories.
30 How did Huang finish the story Dragon Well and Water Fairy
A. She found a version, retold the story and then wrote it down in her own words.
B. She wrote almost all of the story in her own words after reading the text.
C. She found different versions, chose the most interesting one and wrote it down.
D. She kept the old words and translated the story with easy words.
31.The book Miss Huang created is _______.
A. famous and easy B. useful and strange
C. difficult and educational D. interesting and educational

A long time ago there was a king called Minos. He controlled the island of Crete. And he also had a horrible monster called the Minotaur. The Minotaur lived at the centre of a very large maze(迷宫). It had the body of a man but the head of a bull, and it liked eating children.
Minos was a bad king. When he was bored, he would attack his neighbour island called Athens. To stop the fights, King Aegeus of Athens promised King Minos to send seven boys and seven girls to his monster the Minotaur every nine years.
It was time again to send the children to Crete. Theseus, the son of King Aegeus, could not stand this, and decided to go as the seventh boy and kill the Minotaur. He promised his father that if he was successful, he would use white sails(船帆) instead of the black ones to show he was alive.
When arriving in Crete, Theseus met King Minos’ daughter called Ariadne. She fell sorry about him and wanted to help him. So when the soldiers took the children to the Minotaur, Ariadne gave Theseus a ball of string and a knife. Theseus left a line of string behind him when he entered the large maze. After he killed the monster, he followed the string and got out of the palace. Ariadne was waiting outside. They quickly ran away together before Minos could catch them.
However, on the journey home, Theseus was very excited and he forgot to change the colour of the sails. As soon as King Aegeus saw the black sails, he was so sad and jumped into the sea. Since then, that sea has been called the Aegean Sea(爱琴海) to remember King Aegeus.

In the 13th century, Marco Polo, the world known Italian traveler, saw many wonderful things in China. One of the things he discovered was money made of paper. People in the West did not have such kind of money until the 15th century. However, the Chinese began to use it in the 7th century
Paper was invented by a Chinese man called Cai Lun almost 2,000 years ago. But it was not made in Europe until the year 1, 100. Four hundred years later, a German discovered that he could make the best paper from trees. After that countries rich in forests, such as Canada, Sweden, America, Finland became the most important ones in paper making.
Paper can be used in many ways. The common uses include newspapers, magazines and books. But do you know that paper can be used for keeping warm In Finland, the farmers wear paper boots to keep their feet warm in the snow. And even houses can be insulated from heat or cold with paper.
However, we have to understand that paper still comes from trees now. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth some day in the near future. Every day people throw away about 2, 800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting down nearly 48, 000 trees every day. The fact is that it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow.
So we must start saving paper right now. We can use both sides of every piece of paper. We can make useful things out of used paper. We can use china cups instead of paper ones. When shopping, we can use fewer paper bags and reuse them if we have some.
In short, we should keep a balance between using paper and protecting trees, and do it now before it is too late.
37．When did the Chinese begin to use paper money
A．In the 5th century. B．In the 6th century
C．In the 7th century. D．In the 15th century.
38．Why did Canada become an important country in paper making
A．Because it was a large country.
B．Because it had lots of forests.
C．Because it was a very rich country.
D．Because the inventor was from Canada.
39．In Finland, paper is used for________.
A．making bed B．reducing waste
C．making umbrellas D．keeping warm
40．Paragraph 5 mainly talks about________.
A．how paper boots are made B．how paper was invented
C．how we can save paper D．how we can make useful things
