A
The Red Miao ethnic group wears their clothes with unique and attractive culture through embroidery (刺绣), which has been passed down for generations.
The Red Miao ethnic group lives in the mountains of the southwest of Guizhou Province. Ma Xiaofei, a Miao culture researcher, said, “Red Miao is a sub-group of the Miao ethnic group. It has several hundred years of history since they moved from other places. We don’t have historical records, but it has all been recorded on clothes with embroidery.”
The main colors of the Red Miao’s embroidery are red, yellow and black. The colors and the pictures on the clothes have their own meanings, all from nature and fairy tales told by their ancestors. For example, the squares (正方形) stand for the Red Miao ethnic group’s hard-working characteristics. The colorful lines show the routes of their migration (迁徙). The black line means the Yellow River. The triangles (三角形) represent the thousands of mountains and rivers during their migration. The Red Miao people use such embroidery to show their respect to their ancestors.
Making a complete suit of the Red Miao clothes takes more than one year and it’s all hand-made. Visitors to the county (县) often see young girls and women doing embroidery.
Wang Yuelan, an embroiderer, said, “I learned embroidery when I was a child. Now, I teach girls how to do such embroidery. Girls have to learn these skills. Before they get married, they have to make three sets of clothes on their own.”
Generation by generation, the Red Miao ethnic group has turned their traditional embroidery into great works of art. Their efforts over the years have brought beauty not only to this small county, but also to the whole world.

Chuck Berry is called the “father of rock and roll”. He will be 86 this week and is still performing. On stage, he became well-known for his wild performances and his “duck walk” that many musicians copied. But his songwriting skills—some call him “a rock and roll poet”—really make the spotlight on him.
Chuck Berry was born on October 18th, 1926 in St. Louis, where he still lives. Berry had an interest in music from an early age and gave his first public performance at Sumner High School. At 17, Berry left school. He headed west with two friends, but they did not get far. They were arrested after they stole a car in Kansas City. Berry was released from prison four years later. At 21, Berry released several albums, including No Particular Place to Go, You Never Can Tell, and Nadine, but these did not make him successful.
In 1955, Berry signed his first recording contract with Chess Records. One of his early hits was Rock & Roll Music. That song became a hit and Berry started performing around the country in 1957.
A lot of Chuck Berry’s material is about teenage life, especially school. Early in his career he played mostly blues for black audience in clubs in St. Louis. But the most popular music in the area was country music (乡村音乐). So this musical scientist mixed country and blues and got songs like Maybellene.
Nowadays, more than 75 artists and bands have done their own versions of Chuck Berry’s songs. Many have done several, including the Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley, Conway Twitty and Bruce Springsteen. As a pioneer of rock music, Berry has a significant influence on the development of both the rock and roll music and people’s attitudes towards it.
39. The underlined word in Paragraph 1 probably means “ ”.
A. attention B. preference C. imitation D. support
40. Why is Chuck Berry regarded as the “father of rock and roll”?
A. Because he is still performing on stage at the age of 86.
B. Because he is imitated by many musicians for his “duck walk”.
C. Because he has a gift for writing many popular songs.
D. Because he has an important effect on the world of rock and roll.
41. Which of the following statements about Chuck Berry is true?
A. He has been away from his hometown for many years.
B. He was looked down upon for stealing a car.
C. The song Rock & Roll Music made him well-known.
D. His parents inspired him to sing on stage.
42. According to Paragraph 4, a lot of Chuck Berry’s songs are based on .
A. teenagers’ school life B. the life of the black
C. country life experience D. his own life

What’s the difference between African wild dogs and the dogs that we know as pets? “Wild dogs are not somebody’s domestic (家养的) dogs that run away and don’t come back, although some people used to think that,” says Dr. McNutt, who studies these animals at Wild Dog Research Camp in the African country of Botswana. “They are actually Africa’s wolves, and just like wolves, they do not make good pets. They need to be out in the wild doing what they are supposed to be doing—hunting to find the food they need to survive and feed pups (幼犬).” In fact, they travel so far that researchers need to use radio collars (无线电项圈) to keep track of them.
African wild dogs are smart like pet dogs. They enjoy each other’s company and live in groups of about 6 to 20 animals. Both males and females look after young dogs and make sure they have food. To Dr. McNutt’s surprise, he finds that African wild dogs like pups so much, and they will even take care of pups that don’t belong to them.
Millions of domestic dogs live on the planet, but there are probably fewer than 6,000 African wild dogs left. Humans hunt them, and farmers who don’t want them to go after cows and sheep poison them. Humans are also destroying their habitat that they need to survive. Researchers like Dr. McNutt are working to help people understand how rare and special these animals are. Today, more and more farmers are finding other ways to protect their cows and sheep from African wild dogs instead of killing these rare and special animals.
43. According to Dr. McNutt, African wild dogs .
A. can be kept as pets B. can do what wolves do
C. are actually people’s good friends
D. are actually domestic dogs living in the wild
44. Radio collars are used to .
A. prevent wild dogs from running away
B. tell African wild dogs from domestic dogs
C. keep African wild dogs away from people
D. allow people to follow African wild dogs
45. What will happen to an African wild dog pup if it loses its parents?
A. It will die of hunger. B. It will join another family.
C. It will be hunted by wolves. D. It will run away from the group.
46. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. African wild dogs will die out soon.
B. African wild dogs will make good pets in the future.
C. The number of African wild dogs will increase probably.
D. African wild dogs will make friends with domestic dogs.
D
The end is in sight. The real world beckons (召唤). My year as a foreign exchange student is almost over, and knowing I am about to go home and leave all these behind scares me. Our multicultural group of Brits, Americans, Belgians, French, Germans, Italians, Argentines, Australians and Chinese will probably never be back in the same room as one group again.
The joy of my life in the USA can be described by the word “unpredictability” (不可预期性). For example, we might decide on a Friday night to go to Philadelphia for a weekend. However, we might end up watching NBA games in New York on Saturday.
People might say that studying abroad will look fantastic on my resume (简历). Indeed, I am sure it will, especially for British employers since far fewer British students study abroad than American students. But when my friends and I have thought why we made the decision to come to the United States, two main reasons stand out: firstly, to live in a new culture, and secondly to travel and see new places. After some debates, I think that the two are linked. I have lived in Maryland for almost a year and so I have certainly acquired some understandings of what makes this place work.
Living abroad and traveling abroad obviously give you some different perspectives on life in America, but they finally lead to a similar result: your mind is broadened, you meet more people from all walks of life and your tolerance for other people and other cultures expands.
I know I am more confident, and I think I have become a more well-rounded individual. But the fact is until I return home and start living a rather less wonderful life, I don’t think I will really be able to appreciate just how important and meaningful my year abroad has been.
47. By saying “The end is in sight. The real world beckons”, the writer wants to show .
A. he feels relaxed B. he feels sorry
C. he feels hopeful
D. he feels excited
48. When the writer was in the USA, .
A. he felt lonely for having no friends
B. he was busy doing different part-time jobs
C. he had to follow his previous plans for the weekends
D. he experienced the joy of acting freely in his spare time
49. The writer believes that his studying abroad .
A. made him learn different cultures
B. didn’t bring him what he had expected
C. made him get a lot of textbook knowledge
D. only helped him get something good on the resume
50. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The writer is eager to go back home.
B. The writer doesn’t want to study abroad any more.
C. The writer will continue to stay abroad for some time.
D. It is hard for the writer to come back to his previous life.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Reasons why people fail to learn a foreign language
Contrary to expectations, learning to speak a foreign language well does not need a particular gift (天赋). 51. Even if you were the worst student in your high school language class, I guarantee that you can learn a foreign language well if you avoid the following common mistakes.
52. You can achieve a basic conversational level in a couple of months by immersion (沉浸式学习), but you will not be fluent in such a short time. This is a great starting point. If you want to communicate meaningfully with others, you will need to spend much more time.
People think it will be easy. 53. It takes hard work even if you are living in a foreign country. Unless you want to brand yourself as a barbarian (没有文化的人) you need to learn some grammar, do a lot of repetition, practice speaking a lot and memorize vocabulary.
People think that it only takes a few minutes a day. 54. No matter how gifted you are, if you want to see progress you need to invest a number of hours on a regular basis. The more intensively you do it, the easier it is to see your gains.
People give up halfway. Many people just give up before they have a chance to show themselves what they have learned. 55. If you don’t try, you will certainly fail.
A. Others give up before they even start.
B. There is no easy way to language learning.
C. However, it takes time and effort to become fluent.
D. People expect to become fluent in a foreign language in a month or two.
E. You can’t do it this way if you want to see progress.
F. Nor do you need a very musical ear or a high level of formal education.
G. People believe that they can learn without making mistakes.

One possible version:
Dear Li Ming,
I’m glad to hear from you. Now I’d like to tell you how I adapted to American life quickly.
First of all, I bought a lot of books about American culture. Having read them, I learned about American life and at the same time I had my reading skills improved. Secondly, I made several American friends, to whom I often turned for help. With their help, I understood American culture better. Thirdly, as an exchange student, I joined several student clubs. I took advantage of these clubs and met more people on campus. As time went by, I adapted to American life gradually.
Best wishes to you.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

What’s the difference between African wild dogs and the dogs that we know as pets? “Wild dogs are not somebody’s domestic (家养的) dogs that run away and don’t come back, although some people used to think that,” says Dr. McNutt, who studies these animals at Wild Dog Research Camp in the African country of Botswana. “They are actually Africa’s wolves, and just like wolves, they do not make good pets. They need to be out in the wild doing what they are supposed to be doing—hunting to find the food they need to survive and feed pups (幼犬).” In fact, they travel so far that researchers need to use radio collars (无线电项圈) to keep track of them.
African wild dogs are smart like pet dogs. They enjoy each other’s company and live in groups of about 6 to 20 animals. Both males and females look after young dogs and make sure they have food. To Dr. McNutt’s surprise, he finds that African wild dogs like pups so much, and they will even take care of pups that don’t belong to them.
Millions of domestic dogs live on the planet, but there are probably fewer than 6,000 African wild dogs left. Humans hunt them, and farmers who don’t want them to go after cows and sheep poison them. Humans are also destroying their habitat that they need to survive. Researchers like Dr. McNutt are working to help people understand how rare and special these animals are. Today, more and more farmers are finding other ways to protect their cows and sheep from African wild dogs instead of killing these rare and special animals.
43. According to Dr. McNutt, African wild dogs .
A. can be kept as pets B. can do what wolves do
C. are actually people’s good friends
D. are actually domestic dogs living in the wild
44. Radio collars are used to .
A. prevent wild dogs from running away
B. tell African wild dogs from domestic dogs
C. keep African wild dogs away from people
D. allow people to follow African wild dogs
45. What will happen to an African wild dog pup if it loses its parents?
A. It will die of hunger. B. It will join another family.
C. It will be hunted by wolves. D. It will run away from the group.
46. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. African wild dogs will die out soon.
B. African wild dogs will make good pets in the future.
C. The number of African wild dogs will increase probably.
D. African wild dogs will make friends with domestic dogs.

The end is in sight. The real world beckons (召唤). My year as a foreign exchange student is almost over, and knowing I am about to go home and leave all these behind scares me. Our multicultural group of Brits, Americans, Belgians, French, Germans, Italians, Argentines, Australians and Chinese will probably never be back in the same room as one group again.
The joy of my life in the USA can be described by the word “unpredictability” (不可预期性). For example, we might decide on a Friday night to go to Philadelphia for a weekend. However, we might end up watching NBA games in New York on Saturday.
People might say that studying abroad will look fantastic on my resume (简历). Indeed, I am sure it will, especially for British employers since far fewer British students study abroad than American students. But when my friends and I have thought why we made the decision to come to the United States, two main reasons stand out: firstly, to live in a new culture, and secondly to travel and see new places. After some debates, I think that the two are linked. I have lived in Maryland for almost a year and so I have certainly acquired some understandings of what makes this place work.
Living abroad and traveling abroad obviously give you some different perspectives on life in America, but they finally lead to a similar result: your mind is broadened, you meet more people from all walks of life and your tolerance for other people and other cultures expands.
I know I am more confident, and I think I have become a more well-rounded individual. But the fact is until I return home and start living a rather less wonderful life, I don’t think I will really be able to appreciate just how important and meaningful my year abroad has been.
47. By saying “The end is in sight. The real world beckons”, the writer wants to show .
A. he feels relaxed B. he feels sorry
C. he feels hopeful
D. he feels excited
48. When the writer was in the USA, .
A. he felt lonely for having no friends
B. he was busy doing different part-time jobs
C. he had to follow his previous plans for the weekends
D. he experienced the joy of acting freely in his spare time
49. The writer believes that his studying abroad .
A. made him learn different cultures
B. didn’t bring him what he had expected
C. made him get a lot of textbook knowledge
D. only helped him get something good on the resume
50. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The writer is eager to go back home.
B. The writer doesn’t want to study abroad any more.
C. The writer will continue to stay abroad for some time.
D. It is hard for the writer to come back to his previous life.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Reasons why people fail to learn a foreign language
Contrary to expectations, learning to speak a foreign language well does not need a particular gift (天赋). 51. Even if you were the worst student in your high school language class, I guarantee that you can learn a foreign language well if you avoid the following common mistakes.
52. You can achieve a basic conversational level in a couple of months by immersion (沉浸式学习), but you will not be fluent in such a short time. This is a great starting point. If you want to communicate meaningfully with others, you will need to spend much more time.
People think it will be easy. 53. It takes hard work even if you are living in a foreign country. Unless you want to brand yourself as a barbarian (没有文化的人) you need to learn some grammar, do a lot of repetition, practice speaking a lot and memorize vocabulary.
People think that it only takes a few minutes a day. 54. No matter how gifted you are, if you want to see progress you need to invest a number of hours on a regular basis. The more intensively you do it, the easier it is to see your gains.
People give up halfway. Many people just give up before they have a chance to show themselves what they have learned. 55. If you don’t try, you will certainly fail.
A. Others give up before they even start.
B. There is no easy way to language learning.
C. However, it takes time and effort to become fluent.
D. People expect to become fluent in a foreign language in a month or two.
E. You can’t do it this way if you want to see progress.
F. Nor do you need a very musical ear or a high level of formal education.
G. People believe that they can learn without making mistakes.

Dear Li Ming,
I’m glad to hear from you. Now I’d like to tell you how I adapted to American life quickly.
First of all, I bought a lot of books about American culture. Having read them, I learned about American life and at the same time I had my reading skills improved. Secondly, I made several American friends, to whom I often turned for help. With their help, I understood American culture better. Thirdly, as an exchange student, I joined several student clubs. I took advantage of these clubs and met more people on campus. As time went by, I adapted to American life gradually.
Best wishes to you.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
