28．Happy Rain on a Spring Night
Du Fu
Good rain knows its time right；It will fall when comes spring.With wind it steals in night；Mute，it moistens each thing. O'er wild lanes dark cloud spreads；In boat a lantern looms.Dawn sees saturated reds：The town's heavy with blooms.
— Translated by Xu YuanchongThis famous poem，with four couplets，was written by Du Fu（712—770，Tang Dynasty）.His farming experience taught him to be thankful to nature.
The very first word， "good"，shows the poet's joy and love for the spring rain.The rain is good because it "knows" the proper time to come.Here the poet uses personification （拟人手法），as if the rain were smart enough to come in time for the farmer's busy season.
When the rain comes，it appears during the night without making any noise.Unlike the summer storms，the spring rain finishes its task without being known.
In the third couplet，the poet describes a peaceful scene to us.In the night sky，the clouds look dark and heavy.It's a sign that there will be enough rain during the night.The light from the riverboat makes the dark scene a bit livelier.
Lastly，the poet starts to imagine.Tomorrow morning，he thinks，the city will become beautiful when all of the flowers bloom（盛开）after the rain.

A．《春望》
B．《春夜喜雨》
C．《夜雨寄北》
D．《春晓》
（2）Which of the following rhymes（韵律）are right for this poem Happy Rain on a Spring Night？

B．ab﹣ab﹣cd﹣cd
C．ab﹣cd﹣ab﹣cd
D．ab﹣cc﹣ab﹣cc
（3）Which word can be used to describe the rain in this poem？

B．Dark.
C．Quiet.
D．Noisy.
（4）What does Du Fu want to show in this poem？

B．He loves and enjoys farming.
C．He expects the flower to bloom.
D．He loves rainy days.
29．Are you afraid of going to the dentist？If so，you're not alone.
These fears could just be in our heads，however.According to a recent survey by Martin Tickle，a professor at Manchester University in the UK，the pain isn't felt most of the time in dental surgeries（牙科手术）.In fact，among the 451 interviewed patients，75%reported no pain at all during their visits，including situations when they had their teeth pulled out.
Could it be the sound of the drill（钻头）then？
"I found that the sound of drilling can evoke deep worry in dental patients.Actually they don't have any pain." Hiroyuki Karibe，a scientist at Nippon Dental University in Tokyo，told the Guardian.
To find the reason why a drill might bring on a racing heart，Karibe divided the volunteers into low-fear and high-fear groups based on how much they feared a trip to the dentist.Volunteers were played the sound of a drill while their brain activities were watched by a machine.
What Karibe found in the low-fear group was increased activity in the areas of the brain relative to auditory processing（听觉处理），which means，for these people，the sound of dental drills is no different from other sounds.
In the high-fear group，however，the brain area that was activated（激活）was different.It was the area that carries out a number of duties，including learning，feelings and，most importantly，memory.This means that these volunteers not only heard the sound，but they remembered it-they made connections between the sound of a drill and the worry it produced in the past，causing their worry to return.
Understanding how brains reply to the sounds of dentists' drills could help scientists find ways to make patients more relaxed，according to Karibe，because patients who worry about going to the dentist might keep putting off their visits.But the best way is to keep your teeth healthy.
（1）How does the writer explain that the pain isn't felt most of the time in dental surgeries？
A.By showing facts with numbers.
B.By asking questions one by one.
C.By giving examples group by group.
D.By comparing results of patients.
（2）According to the fourth paragraph，what does the word "evoke" mean in Chinese？
A.减轻
B.引起
C.显示
D.阻止
（3）How did the sound of drilling produce different results to the volunteers in the study？
A.It produced some worry in the volunteers in the low﹣fear group.
B.For the low﹣fear group，it activated the brain area dealing with learning，feelings and memory.
C.For the high﹣fear group，it caused more activities in the brain area relative to auditory processing.
D.It made people in the high﹣fear group remember their past uncomfortable memories.
（4）What's the purpose of the passage？
A.To show us different areas of fear in brains.
B.To introduce us a recent survey by a scientist.
C.To help us have less fear of a trip to the dentist.
D.To make it clear that the sound of drilling is not terrible.
30．There are many things we do for the people we love.Some show their love with sweet words，and some with gifts.And one man，72-year-old Vojin Kusic，has built a rotating（旋转的）house for his beloved wife.
Kusic and his family live in Srbac，Bosnia.Their house is amazing，and what makes it more impressive is that Kusic has designed and built it all by himself.He used electric motors（电动机）and the wheels of an old truck to make the house rotate.The house is two storeys high，and it can rotate a full circle in just 22 seconds at its fastest speed，and complete the turn in 24 hours at its slowest.
Kusic made the decision because his wife said she wanted to be able to see the front yard from the living room，and he was tired of tearing down（拆除）the walls.It took a lot of hard work to build the house and even more to make it rotate，but Kusic was happy to do it，because it meant a lot to his wife.
This is not the first time the man has built a house for his family.When they were first married，he had built a regular，non-rotating home，where he and his wife raised their three children.At the time，his wife wanted their bedroom to face the sun.As a result，their living room had to face away from the road.Then his wife got a little sad that she couldn't see guests walking up to their home.So Kusic decided to do something different.
Kusic's wife is now very happy，and so is Kusic.He joked， "Now，our front door also rotates，so if she finds unwanted guests heading our way，she can rotate the house and make them turn away."
（1）The writer introduces the topic of the passage in the first paragraph by .
A.comparing a fact
B.telling a story
C.asking a question
D.describing an experience
（2）Which of the following is TRUE about Kusic's new house？
A.It rotates day and night.
B.It is changed from an old truck.
C.It can rotate 360 at different speeds.
D.It is built by Kusic and his wife together.
（3）Upon his wife's request，Kusic first .
A.made the house much bigger
B.made the bedroom face the sun
C.made the living room face the road
D.made it difficult for guests to find the door
（4）Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage？
A.
B.
C.
D.
31．After months of expectation and secrecy，the official mascot（吉祥物）of the 2022 Winter Olympic Games—a giant panda-inspired cartoon character-made its first public debut with cheers at Beijing's Shougang Ice Hockey Arena.
The panda is named "Bing Dwen Dwen" in Chinese.Bing means "ice" in Chinese，while Dwen Dwen suggests "health and cleverness"-characteristics also shared by pandas.Pandas are perhaps the most recognized animal species in China，organizers said.
"Pandas combine China's traditional culture and its modern appearance together with winter sports elements in a fascinating image（形象）that shows our great expectations for the Games and shows that we welcome the world，" said Beijing Mayor Chen Jining，who also serves as an executive president on the organizing committee.
"I have already seen the mascot and from what I've seen，it's a wonderful choice，" IOC President Thomas Bach said before introducing the character. "The mascot really takes in the best elements and characteristics of China and the Chinese people.It will be a great ambassador（大使）for the country and the 24th Winter Olympics."
The ring of light surrounding the mascot's face is suggestive of ice and snow tracks，as well as the flowing "ribbons" of the National Speed Skating Oval.The oval is one of two new competition sites in downtown Beijing expected to become a landmark of the Games，according to its chief designer Cao Xue.
The introduction of the mascots marks the key point of a journey that began in August 2018，when Beijing organizers started a global design competition for the mascots.A total of 5，816 designs were received from 35 countries，and were reviewed by Chinese and international experts in a comprehensive evaluation（综合评价）and selection process.
The new mascot will serve as spirited symbol of the Games that will take place in the three zones of downtown Beijing，the suburban district of Yanqing and co-host city Zhangjiakou in surrounding Hebei province.
（1）What does the underlined word "debut" in paragraph 1 mean？
A.Design.
B.Appearance.
C.Understanding.
D.Attention.
（2）What does Bach think of the mascot？
A.Surprising.
B.Enjoyable.
C.Satisfying.
D.Interesting.
（3）What's paragraph 5 mainly about？
A.The origin（起源）of the mascot image.
B.The introduction to the mascot designer.
C.The hard work behind the mascot design.
D.The hidden meaning of the mascot image.
（4）What can be a suitable title for the text？
A.The Mascot of the 24th Winter Olympic Games.
B.A Historical Moment of the Winter Olympic Games.
C.A Lovely Panda Welcomes the World.
D.Comments（评论）on the Mascot of the 24th Winter Olympics.

33．It was Sunday again.Paula and Emily disliked Sundays.That was one of the many things the twins had in common.They shared the same clothes and tied their hair in the same way.In fact，it was sometimes hard for their teachers and classmates to tell the different between them.
Unlike their classmates，they had to get up early at seven every Sunday to prepare for their lessons.Paula had to attend the art class and Emily had to attend her dancing class.Both of them had learned their own classes for three years. "How I wish I could do something different today!"said the twins with one voice.All at once，a wonderful plan came to Paula and Emily at the same time.After giving each other a description（描述）of their own teachers and classmates，Paula put on Emily's dancing dress while Emily put Paula's things for painting into her bag.Then they left for their classes.
When the art class started，Emily felt lost.Unlike Paula，Emily was poor at drawing.When the art class finally ended，Emily didn't dare to hand in her work.
Meanwhile，Paula was struggling （挣扎） in the dancing class as well.As she had no idea about the dance steps，she had to follow her classmates blindly.As a result，she kept walking into them.Their dancing teacher became a little bit angry with her，"Emily，you should remember the steps.You can't depend on copying what others are doing."
When Emily and Paula got home，they were tired out.They decided that they would never try to be someone else they were not.It seemed that"the grass was not always greener on the other side of the fence （篱笆）."

It's up to you.

Think life through in the long term.
Abraham Lincoln said， "The best way to predict your future is to create it." If you wonder where you will be 10 years from now，look at your current life.What actions are you taking？How many new things are you learning？Are you putting in the effort necessary to achieve your goals today？People often think that their lives will suddenly change through some magical events in the future（4） that is not the case.Your life will only change if you change it.
Setbacks（挫折）are part （5） success.
In life，nothing worth having comes easy.You have to devote time，effort，and any time you get close to finally succeeding，there will be some more adversity（逆境），and then （6） ，will you be able to succeed.Many，however，fail the final test.
So whenever you face a challenge，keep （7） !No matter how long it takes or how hard it gets，always remember the words， "It's not over （8） I win!"
If you could build unbreakable self﹣discipline，you will succeed in anything you set your mind to.Maybe not immediately，but definitely.

40．【答案】
Recently，a survey has been made in our school on whether you want a little brother or sister.The opinions are different.
About forty percent students think it's good to have a brother or a sister.They can help each other and share the happiness and sadness together.And they won't feel lonely anymore.What's more，they think they'll get more freedom.But others disagree.They think they won't get used to the change.They also worry that their parents won't love them as much as before.Besides，they're afraid that the new baby will be so noisy that it may bother their study.In my opinion，it's hard to say whether it's good or bad to have a brother or sister.But we should respect our parents choices.After all，they're the persons who will make the final decision.
