Whenever the word “peace” comes into our mind, we can’t help thinking of a white-coloured bird who has a leaf in its mouth. But have you ever wondered why this little bird became a symbol of peace
It is believed that this symbol comes from the Bible. Actually, for the first time, it appeared in the story about Noah’s Ark（诺亚方舟），In the story, when the heavy rain that flooded the earth stopped pouring down, Noah sent out a white dove to see if there was any land. Then the dove returned with an olive branch（橄榄枝）in its mouth, which meant that it had found dry land somewhere. This brought hope to Noah, who had almost spent almost a year on his ark. From then on, the white dove was considered the symbol of hope and new life.
In another very popular story from Central Asia, a big war was about to happen between two kingdoms. When one of the kings asked for his helmet （头盔）he was told that a dove had made a nest into it. The king’s mother wanted him to keep the nest and the doves. The king agreed and headed for the war without his helmet. Upon seeing the king without his helmet, the other king asked the reason. The king told the truth. The other king was deeply touched by his action. And they finally agreed to make peace instead of war. A nest of doves became a reason for stopping a war. Since then, the dove has been connected with peace.
In ancient Japan, a dove carrying a sword（剑）meant the end of war. And in ancient Europe, there was a tradition that if a dove flew around a house where someone was dying, then their soul would be at peace.
Besides, many artists also regard the bird as a symbol of peace. But it was Pablo Picasso who made the white dove a popular modern symbol of peace when he used it on a poster for the World Peace Congress (WPC) in 1949.
36. Why did Noah send out a white dove
A. To find where his ark sailed to. B. To search for other living things.
C. To see if the big flood had stopped. D. To check if there was dry land nearby.
37. Noah might feel ________ when seeing the dove coming back with an olive branch.
A. afraid B. excited C. nervous D. shocked
38. What made the other king decide to give up fighting
A. A great flood. B. A nest of doves.
C. The first king’s helmet. D. The kindness of the first king.
39. What does the underlined word “nest” mean in Paragraph 3
A. 巢 B. 网 C. 洞 D. 坑
40. When did the dove become a popular symbol of peace
A. After it brought back an olive branch in Noah’s story.
B. After many artists regarded it as a symbol of peace.
C. After it stopped the war between two kings from Central Asia.
D. After it was used on a poster for the WPC in 1949 by Picasso.
【答案】DBDAD

36. 细节理解题。根据“Noah sent out a white dove to see if there was any land.”可知，诺亚派出一只白鸽去检查附近是否有了干燥的陆地。故选D。
37. 推理判断题。根据“Then the dove returned with an olive branch（橄榄枝）in its mouth, which meant that it had found dry land somewhere. This brought hope to Noah”可知，当看到鸽子带着橄榄枝回来时，给诺亚带来了希望，所以诺亚可能会感到兴奋。故选B。
38. 细节理解题。根据“When one of the kings asked for his helmet （头盔）he was told that a dove had made a nest into it. The king’s mother wanted him to keep the nest and the doves. The king agreed and headed for the war without his helmet.”和“The king told the truth. The other king was deeply touched by his action. And they finally agreed to make peace instead of war.”可知，第一位国王为了保护鸟巢和鸽子而放弃戴头盔作战，这份仁慈使另一位国王决定放弃战斗。故选D。
39. 词句猜测题。根据“When one of the kings asked for his helmet （头盔）he was told that a dove had made a nest into it. The king’s mother wanted him to keep the nest and the doves. ”可知，当一位国王要他的头盔时，他被告知有只鸽子在里面筑巢。国王的母亲要他留住鸟巢和鸽子。nest表示“巢”。故选A。
40. 细节理解题。根据“But it was Pablo Picasso who made the white dove a popular modern symbol of peace when he used it on a poster for the World Peace Congress (WPC) in 1949.”可知，1949年，巴勃罗·毕加索在世界和平大会的海报上使用鸽子作为现代和平的象征，并使得这个意象广受欢迎。故选D。

Confucius’s main interest was to find out ways for the government to do a better job of taking good care of the people. Confucius is what English speakers call him now, but when he was a child his name was Kong Qiu. In Chinese, Confucius is Kung Fuzi. He was born in 551 BC(公元前) in Lu State, China, and his parents were poor, although his family had once been rich. They had gotten into trouble with the king, and he had taken away their money and their land.
And when he grew up, people said he was fair, and polite, and loved to learn things, so his family sent him to the big city, to Zhou, where the Zhou king lived, to go to school. Luckily, while he was in Zhou, Confucius got to know Lao Zi, who was later the creator (创始者) of the philosophy of Taoism (道教).
When Confucius finished school, he went back to his home in Lu and became a teacher there. When he was 35 years old, he tried to get involved in politics(介入政治), and maybe get the Duke of Lu to give him some land and money, but when this idea didn’t work out Confucius went back to being a teacher. In his fifties he worked as a chief minister (首席宰相) of Lu, but when he saw that the Duke of Lu was not doing a good job, Confucius gave up and left his city.
Confucius spent the rest of his life travelling from town to town around China with his students and friends, giving advice to different rulers (统治者) wherever he went. Often they didn’t like his advice! When he was 67, Confucius went back to Lu, and he died there when he was 72 years old.
41. This passage is mainly about Confucius’s _________ .
A. students B. thoughts C. books D. life
42. Confucius wished to ________ .
A. be a nice teacher B. travel all over China
C. become a wise man D. help the government
43. Confucius was a smart and hard-working child.
The sentence above is from the passage. And we should put it back to the beginning of Paragraph ________ . A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4
44. Why did Confucius leave Lu in his fifties
A. Because he was not pleased with the Duke of Lu.
B. Because he wanted to travel around China.
C. Because his students and friends asked him to do so.
D. Because he didn’t like his job any more.
45. From this passage, we can infer (推断出) that Confucius died in the year of ________ .
A. 623 BC B. 618 BC C. 479 BC D. 474 BC

Whenever the word “peace” comes into our mind, we can’t help thinking of a white-coloured bird who has a leaf in its mouth. But have you ever wondered why this little bird became a symbol of peace
It is believed that this symbol comes from the Bible. Actually, for the first time, it appeared in the story about Noah’s Ark（诺亚方舟），In the story, when the heavy rain that flooded the earth stopped pouring down, Noah sent out a white dove to see if there was any land. Then the dove returned with an olive branch（橄榄枝）in its mouth, which meant that it had found dry land somewhere. This brought hope to Noah, who had almost spent almost a year on his ark. From then on, the white dove was considered the symbol of hope and new life.
In another very popular story from Central Asia, a big war was about to happen between two kingdoms. When one of the kings asked for his helmet （头盔）he was told that a dove had made a nest into it. The king’s mother wanted him to keep the nest and the doves. The king agreed and headed for the war without his helmet. Upon seeing the king without his helmet, the other king asked the reason. The king told the truth. The other king was deeply touched by his action. And they finally agreed to make peace instead of war. A nest of doves became a reason for stopping a war. Since then, the dove has been connected with peace.
In ancient Japan, a dove carrying a sword（剑）meant the end of war. And in ancient Europe, there was a tradition that if a dove flew around a house where someone was dying, then their soul would be at peace.
Besides, many artists also regard the bird as a symbol of peace. But it was Pablo Picasso who made the white dove a popular modern symbol of peace when he used it on a poster for the World Peace Congress (WPC) in 1949.
36. Why did Noah send out a white dove
A. To find where his ark sailed to. B. To search for other living things.
C. To see if the big flood had stopped. D. To check if there was dry land nearby.
37. Noah might feel ________ when seeing the dove coming back with an olive branch.
A. afraid B. excited C. nervous D. shocked
38. What made the other king decide to give up fighting
A. A great flood. B. A nest of doves.
C. The first king’s helmet. D. The kindness of the first king.
39. What does the underlined word “nest” mean in Paragraph 3
A. 巢 B. 网 C. 洞 D. 坑
40. When did the dove become a popular symbol of peace
A. After it brought back an olive branch in Noah’s story.
B. After many artists regarded it as a symbol of peace.
C. After it stopped the war between two kings from Central Asia.
D. After it was used on a poster for the WPC in 1949 by Picasso.

Confucius’s main interest was to find out ways for the government to do a better job of taking good care of the people. Confucius is what English speakers call him now, but when he was a child his name was Kong Qiu. In Chinese, Confucius is Kung Fuzi. He was born in 551 BC(公元前) in Lu State, China, and his parents were poor, although his family had once been rich. They had gotten into trouble with the king, and he had taken away their money and their land.
And when he grew up, people said he was fair, and polite, and loved to learn things, so his family sent him to the big city, to Zhou, where the Zhou king lived, to go to school. Luckily, while he was in Zhou, Confucius got to know Lao Zi, who was later the creator (创始者) of the philosophy of Taoism (道教).
When Confucius finished school, he went back to his home in Lu and became a teacher there. When he was 35 years old, he tried to get involved in politics(介入政治), and maybe get the Duke of Lu to give him some land and money, but when this idea didn’t work out Confucius went back to being a teacher. In his fifties he worked as a chief minister (首席宰相) of Lu, but when he saw that the Duke of Lu was not doing a good job, Confucius gave up and left his city.
Confucius spent the rest of his life travelling from town to town around China with his students and friends, giving advice to different rulers (统治者) wherever he went. Often they didn’t like his advice! When he was 67, Confucius went back to Lu, and he died there when he was 72 years old.
41. This passage is mainly about Confucius’s _________ .
A. students B. thoughts C. books D. life
42. Confucius wished to ________ .
A. be a nice teacher B. travel all over China
C. become a wise man D. help the government
43. Confucius was a smart and hard-working child.
The sentence above is from the passage. And we should put it back to the beginning of Paragraph ________ . A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4
44. Why did Confucius leave Lu in his fifties
A. Because he was not pleased with the Duke of Lu.
B. Because he wanted to travel around China.
C. Because his students and friends asked him to do so.
D. Because he didn’t like his job any more.
45. From this passage, we can infer (推断出) that Confucius died in the year of ________ .
A. 623 BC B. 618 BC C. 479 BC D. 474 BC
