Art is a universal language. Music is a universal language. Love is a universal language. Now, it’s the turn of sand to be mentioned in such terms. In her work, sand artist Kseniya Simonova mixes art, music and love to create her own medium which can be understood and appreciated by everyone.
Simonova said she fell in love with sand art by accident. “I never thought I could perform; I was always a classical artist,” shared Simonova. “I just started it as a hobby and I never thought it would become what it is now.” In 2009, Simonova won the “Ukraine’s Got Talent” TV contest. Since then her fame has increased rapidly, and she has become a real sensation.
The art Simonova creates is amazing; however, the medium she uses is quite common. It is ordinary river sand. “In sand art, it is an idea and its visualization that is important. What I do is create a tale in my mind. The sand is a very convenient medium that is very flexible and responds to speed well. It can show what is going on in my head.”
The images created by the artist last only for a few seconds. However, Simonova is not worried by the momentary nature of sand art. “I know that my creations live only for a while, but I believe that to be completely normal because art reflects life. We live every moment of our life, and we can’t go back and do it again. The same is the case with what I do,” Simonova concluded.
Sand art helps the artist to see the world in a new way, painting ever-changing life in every grain of sand.
4. How does Simonova feel about her achievements in sand art
A. Confident. B. Amused.
C. Confused. D. Surprised.
5. What is important in sand art performance according to Simonova
A. The medium. B. The story.
C. The theatre. D. The audience’s response.
6. What does Simonova say about the momentary nature of sand art
A. It mirrors our life. B. It is a kind of regret.
C. It encourages repetition. D. It alarms many sand artists.
7. What can be the best title for the text
A. Love is a universal language
B. Sand art: a new form of performance
C. Kseniya Simonova: painting the world with sand
D. Sand artists: impressing the world with awesome work
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C

【5题详解】

The sand is a very convenient medium that is very flexible and responds to speed well.

The same is the case with what I do,” Simonova concluded.”（艺术家创作的图像只存在几秒钟。然而，Simonova并没有因为沙画的短暂性而感到震惊。“我知道我的作品只存在一段时间，但我相信这是绝对正常的，因为艺术反映了生活。我们过着生命中的每一刻，但不可能重复这些。我的工作也是如此，”Simonova总结道。）可知，关于沙画短暂性，Simonova认为艺术反映了生活，生活中的每一刻都不可能重复。故选A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Art is a universal language. Music is a universal language. Love is a universal language. Now, it’s the turn of sand to be mentioned in such terms.

C
When Steven Spielberg was a kid growing up in the 1950s in Arizona, watching westerns on his family’s 20-inch black-and-white TV, he would climb right up to the screen, as if to surround himself with the image. He also wished he could see these moving pictures in color. So he searched through his family’s collection of slides quickly, having learned that by holding one film or another up to the television screen he could turn grayed-out western skies blue, or the ground to a realistic-looking green. Sometimes his mom walked in, and saw him holding these slides up to both of his eyes, right next to the TV set. Often, she would say, “You’re going to burn your eyes out!”
Spielberg’s mom, like all the other 50s moms who said the same thing, was wrong about that. But we all know what she must have been thinking: Who is this child
If you’ve seen even just one Steven Spielberg movie in the past 50 years or so — Jaws, Schindler’s List, E. T-you have some sense of who this child grew up to be. And when you see his new film, The Fabelmans, a work of astonishing vividness that’s drawn from his own family’s story, you’ll know even more. Movies have been around for roughly 130 years; Spielberg’s career has covered more than a third of that. Yet The Fabelmans hardly feels like a late-career movie. It’s a bridge for a new beginning.
Not every 75-year-old filmmaker makes a movie like this. Of the ambitious young guys who remade Hollywood in the early 1970s, Spielberg is one of the few still making vital pictures at a consistent (一致的) clip. Yet his career is extraordinary in any context. He’s made some box-office disappointments, but naming a badly made Spielberg film is hard, probably because there isn’t one. No living filmmaker can match his devotion to craftsmanship, to finding new ways of showing us things we think we’ve seen a million times before.
8. How did Spielberg’s mom feel when she saw her son’s behav or in front of the TV set
A. Proud but upset. B. Surprised but supportive.
C. Worried and confused. D. Annoyed and desperate.
9. Which of the following is NOT a reason why Spielberg’s career is regarded as extraordinary
A. He is devoted to filming ordinary things from new angles.
B. He showed great interest in filming at a very young age.
C. His career covers more than a third of the movie history.
D. All his films are probably well-made despite some box-office disappointments.
10. What can be inferred about Spielberg’s new film The Fabelmans
A. It’s the most outstanding film he has ever made in his career.
B. It has been related to part of his growing experience.
C. It represents a totally brand-new type of film theme.
D. It established Spielberg as the most influential filmmaker.
11. What is the purpose of the text
A. To introduce a giant in film-making.
B. To demonstrate how to dare to be different.
C. To indicate curiosity makes success.
D. To recommend a pioneering new film.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了导演史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格的个人经历以及成就。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第一段中的“Sometimes his mom walked in, and saw him holding these slides up to both of his eyes, right next to the TV set. Often, she would say, ‘You’re going to burn your eyes out!’(有时他妈妈走进来，看到他把幻灯片举到双眼上，就在电视机旁边。 她经常会说：‘你会把眼睛烧坏的!’)”以及第二段“Spielberg’s mom, like all the other 50s moms who said the same thing, was wrong about that. But we all know what she must have been thinking: Who is this child (斯皮尔伯格的妈妈，就像所有其他 50 多岁的妈妈说同样的话一样，那样说是不对的。但我们都知道她一定在想什么：这个孩子是谁 )”可推知，当斯皮尔伯格的妈妈看到儿子在电视机前的行为时，她感到担心和困惑，故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第三段中的“Movies have been around for roughly 130 years; Spielberg’s career has covered more than a third of that.(电影已经存在了大约 130年；斯皮尔伯格的职业生涯涵盖了其中的三分之一以上。)”，最后一段中的“Yet his career is extraordinary in any context. He’s made some box-office disappointments, but naming a badly made Spielberg film is hard, probably because there isn’t one.(然而，他的职业生涯在任何背景下都是非凡的。他的一些票房成绩令人失望，但说出斯皮尔伯格的一部糟糕电影是很难的，可能因为根本就没有一部这样的电影。)”以及“No living filmmaker can match his devotion to craftsmanship, to finding new ways of showing us things we think we’ve seen a million times before.(没有任何一位在世的电影制片人能与他对工艺的奉献相媲美，他寻找新的方式向我们展示我们认为已经看过一百万次的东西。)”可知，B选项“他很小的时候就对电影表现出了极大的兴趣”不是斯皮尔伯格的事业被认为非凡的原因。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“And when you see his new film, The Fabelmans, a work of astonishing vividness that’s drawn from his own family’s story, you’ll know even more.(当你看到他的新电影《法贝尔曼一家》时，你会了解得更多，这部极其生动的电影取材于他自己家庭的故事。)”可推知，斯皮尔伯格的新片《法贝尔曼一家》与他成长经历的一部分有关。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“No living filmmaker can match his devotion to craftsmanship, to finding new ways of showing us things we think we’ve seen a million times before.(没有任何一位在世的电影制片人能与他对工艺的奉献相媲美，他寻找新的方式向我们展示我们认为已经看过一百万次的东西。)”并结合文章主要介绍了导演史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格的个人经历以及成就可知，文章的写作目的是介绍“电影制作界的一位巨人”。故选A。
D
Last week, Chicago became the first city in the US to join the “Lights Out Plan”. People turned off the lights in the city’s tallest buildings, so that thousands of birds could get to their winter homes. Every year in autumn, some birds fly over Chicago on their way to the south, and come back the next spring.
Lights mean danger to birds. Birds find their way by looking at the stars in the sky. Lights in tall buildings are so bright that birds may mistake them as stars. This means they cannot find the right way to go home.
This month, about 300 types of birds are flying over Chicago to go back to the south to live through the cold winter. Birds fly to warmer places for a few reasons. Many birds cannot live in the cold, so they fly to warmer places. But there are other reasons, too. Birds need to look for food in the south. Another reason is that they want to have baby birds. Many birds like to have their baby birds in the same “house” they lived in last year, so they fly back there.
There are about 9,000 kinds of birds in the world, and about 600 kinds of birds migrate. Some birds can fly a very long way. Sometimes they fly to other countries. We have fewer birds today because there are fewer places for birds.
12. Why did people in Chicago turn off their lights last week
A. Because people wanted to save money.
B. Because people liked the dark night.
C. Because people were a afraid that birds would make much noise.
D. Because people were a afraid that birds would lose their way.
13. What does the underlined word “migrate” mean in Chinese
A. move to a new place B. stay at the same place
C. sleep in winter D. lay eggs
14. Today we have fewer birds because ________.
A. lots of birds are often ill B. people kill lots of birds
C. there are fewer places for birds D. other animals eat them
15. Which of the following statements is NOT true
A. All birds fly to warmer places every year.
B. Some birds have to fly to warmer places in autumn.
C. Some birds can fly a long way to other countries.
D. About 600 kinds of birds migrate in the world.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了芝加哥为了帮助鸟类进入它们的冬眠家园，成为美国第一个加入“熄灯计划”的城市，详细地介绍了鸟类迁徙的原因和面临的问题等。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“People turned off the lights in the city’s tallest buildings, so that thousands of birds could get to their winter homes.”（人们关掉了城市最高建筑的灯，这样成千上万的鸟就可以回到它们的冬天的家。）和第二段中“Lights in tall buildings are so bright that birds may mistake them as stars. This means they cannot find the right way to go home.(高楼上的灯光太亮了，鸟儿可能会误以为是星星。这意味着他们找不到回家的路)”可知，人们关掉在城市的高楼的灯光，是为了使成千上万的鸟儿能够找到回家的路，即他们担心鸟儿会迷路。故选D项。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“Some birds can fly a very long way. Sometimes they fly to other countries.”（有些鸟能飞很长的路。有时他们飞往其他国家）可以猜测出划线单词migrate为“迁徙”的意思，与A项move to a new place“搬到一个新的地方”，意思一致。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“We have fewer birds today because there are fewer places for birds.”（我们今天的鸟类更少了，因为鸟类栖息的地方更少了。）可知，今天我们的鸟儿更少，是因为留给鸟类栖息的地方少了。故选C项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“There are about 9,000 kinds of birds in the world, and about 600 kinds of birds migrate.”（世界上大约有9000种鸟类，大约有600种鸟类迁徙。）可知，并不是所有的鸟类都要迁徙的，只有部分是迁徙的，所以A选项的陈述是错误的。故选A项。

任务型阅读
For Sara’s family, decorating the yard was always a celebration for the New year. This year it was Sara’s father’s turn to hang colorful lights all round their roof according to family tradition.
On New Year’s Eve, light enveloped the whole house. Everything seemed to be going fine until misfortune happened: Sara’s father passed away suddenly. Sara was very sad. However, seeing the hanging lights, she was in a state of feeling happy, gaining a tiny thread of relief.
The lights reminded her of her beloved father. Taking them down meant the final connection with her father would disappear, which she wasn’t ready to accept. So she kept them. One day in March, Sara received a typed note in the mail. “Take your New Year’s lights down!” The letter read, which made Sara angry. She couldn’t hold back her anger, and shared it with her story online. Messages of support flooded into Sara’s inbox quickly. Besides, one day, Sara was driving back home and surprised to find that New Year’s decorations reappeared on houses in her neighborhood —her neighbors had made a collective (共同的) decision to hang their lights back up in honor of her father!
She never learned the sender’s identity. But for her, that hurtful deed was far less important than so many acts of kindness. A few weeks later, Sara eventually took down the decorations. “It was hard. But due to all the support and love, it was not as hard as I thought.”
46. 选词填空：根据文本内容从方框中选择恰当的词并用其正确形式填入文本图示中，每词限用一次，有两词为多余选项。

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了萨拉的父亲挂彩灯时突然去世了，萨拉非常伤心。然而，看到挂着的灯，她感到很高兴，得到了一丝解脱。萨拉收到一封打印好的邮件，让她把新年灯放下来。她无法抑制自己的愤怒，并在网上分享了自己的故事。她邻居的房子上又出现了新年的装饰——她的邻居们集体决定重新挂上他们的灯来纪念她的父亲。几周后，由于大家的支持和爱，萨拉终于取下了装饰品。
【46题详解】
①考查形容词。由文章第一段“For Sara’s family, decorating the yard was always a celebration for the New year. This year it was Sara’s father’s turn to hang colorful lights all round their roof according to family tradition. (对萨拉一家来说，装饰院子一直是新年的庆祝活动。根据家庭传统，今年轮到萨拉的父亲在屋顶上挂彩灯了。)”可知，萨拉一家以装饰庭院来庆祝新年是一种传统，空处填tradition的形容词traditional“传统的”，作表语。故①填traditional。
②考查时态。由文章第一段中“This year it was Sara’s father’s turn to hang colorful lights all round their roof according to family tradition. (对萨拉一家来说，装饰院子一直是新年的庆祝活动。根据家庭传统，今年轮到萨拉的父亲在屋顶上挂彩灯了。)”和第二段中“On New Year’s Eve, light enveloped the whole house. (除夕之夜，灯光笼罩了整个房子。)”可知，萨拉的父亲把五颜六色的灯挂在他们的屋顶上，空处为句子谓语，根据语境可知事情发生在过去，故时态用一般过去时，填hang“悬挂”的过去式。故②填hung。
③考查副词。由文章第二段中“Everything seemed to be going fine until misfortune happened: Sara’s father passed away suddenly. (一切似乎都很顺利，直到不幸发生了：萨拉的父亲突然去世了。)”可知，不幸的是，萨拉的父亲突然去世，本空填lucky的变形unluckily“不幸的是”，unluckily为副词，作状语，位于句首，首字母大写。故③填Unluckily。
④考查固定短语。由文章第二段中“Everything seemed to be going fine until misfortune happened: Sara’s father passed away suddenly. Sara was very sad. (一切似乎都很顺利，直到不幸发生了：萨拉的父亲突然去世了。萨拉非常伤心。)”可知，不幸的是，萨拉的父亲突然去世，她非常痛苦，本空填 painful的名词pain，be in pain“痛苦，在痛苦中”，为固定短语。故④填pain。
⑤考查名词。由文章第三段中“The lights reminded her of her beloved father. (灯光使她想起了她亲爱的父亲。)”可知，这些灯光让人想起了她的父亲，本空填remind的名词reminder“提醒，提醒人的事物”，作表语。故⑤填reminder。
⑥考查形容词。由文章第三段中“The lights reminded her of her beloved father. Taking them down meant the final connection with her father would disappear, which she wasn’t ready to accept. So she kept them. (灯光使她想起了她亲爱的父亲。把它们取下来意味着她和父亲最后的联系将会消失，这是她还没有准备好接受的。所以她留着它们。)”可知，这些灯光让人想起了她的父亲，所以Sara不愿意把它们取下来，本空填willing的反义词unwilling“不情愿的”，作表语。故⑥填unwilling。
⑦考查形容词。由文章第二段中“One day in March, Sara received a typed note in the mail. “Take your New Year’s lights down!” The letter read, which made Sara angry. She couldn’t hold back her anger, and shared it with her story online. (3月的一天，萨拉收到一封打印好的邮件。信写到“把你的新年灯放下来！”，这使萨拉很生气。她无法抑制自己的愤怒，并在网上分享了自己的故事。)”可知，Sara收到一张纸条，要求她把新年的灯关掉，这让她很恼火，本空填annoy的形容词annoyed“生气的”，作宾补。故⑦填annoyed。
⑧考查时态。由文章第二段中“One day in March, Sara received a typed note in the mail. “Take your New Year’s lights down!” The letter read, which made Sara angry. She couldn’t hold back her anger, and shared it with her story online. (3月的一天，萨拉收到一封打印好的邮件。信写到“把你的新年灯放下来！”，这使萨拉很生气。她无法抑制自己的愤怒，并在网上分享了自己的故事。)”可知，Sara把自己的故事分享到了网上，事情发生在过去，故时态用一般过去时，用post“发布”的过去式。故⑧填posted。
⑨考查名词。由文章第二段中“Besides, one day, Sara was driving back home and surprised to find that New Year’s decorations reappeared on houses in her neighborhood —her neighbors had made a collective (共同的) decision to hang their lights back up in honor of her father! (此外，有一天，萨拉开车回家，惊讶地发现她邻居的房子上又出现了新年的装饰——她的邻居们集体决定把他们的灯重新挂起来，以纪念她的父亲！)”可知，Sara惊讶地发现，在她住的小区里，新年的装饰物出现了，本空填名词appearancel“出现”，作find的宾语。故⑨填appearance。
⑩考查名词。由文章最后一段中“But for her, that hurtful deed was far less important than so many acts of kindness. A few weeks later, Sara eventually took down the decorations. “It was hard. But due to all the support and love, it was not as hard as I thought.” (但对她来说，那件伤人事远没有那么多善举重要。几周后，萨拉终于取下了装饰品。“这很难。但由于大家的支持和爱，这并没有我想象的那么难。”)”可知，由于邻居们的善意和支持，Sara松了一口气，决定把装饰品取下来，本空填名词kindness“善意”，作宾语。故⑩填kindness。
【47题详解】
考查细节理解。由文章第三段中“The lights reminded her of her beloved father. Taking them down meant the final connection with her father would disappear, which she wasn’t ready to accept. So she kept them. (灯光使她想起了她亲爱的父亲。把它们取下来意味着她和父亲最后的联系将会消失，这是她还没有准备好接受的。所以她留着它们。)”可知，因为它们让她想起了她深爱的父亲，她决定保留这些五颜六色的灯，而不是把它们取下来，因为她还没有准备好放弃与父亲的最后联系。故答案为Because they reminded her of her beloved father. She decided to keep the colorful lights instead of taking them down, as she wasn’t ready to let go of the final connection with her father.
【48题详解】
考查推理判断。由文章第三段中“One day in March, Sara received a typed note in the mail. “Take your New Year’s lights down!” The letter read, which made Sara angry. She couldn’t hold back her anger, and shared it with her story online. Messages of support flooded into Sara’s inbox quickly. ((3月的一天，萨拉收到一封打印好的邮件。信写到“把你的新年灯放下来！”，这使萨拉很生气。她无法抑制自己的愤怒，并在网上分享了自己的故事。支持的信息很快涌进了萨拉的收件箱。)”可知，Sara在网上分享打印好的邮件和她的故事的目的是表达她对收到纸条的愤怒和沮丧，同时寻求他人的支持和鼓励。故答案为To express her anger and frustration about receiving the note while seeking support and encouragement from others.
【49题详解】
考查推理判断。由文章最后一段中“It was hard. But due to all the support and love, it was not as hard as I thought. (这很难。但由于大家的支持和爱，这并没有我想象的那么难。)”可知，当Sara决定取下这些装饰品时，她并没有最初想的那么难过。故答案为She didn’t feel as hard as she had initially thought.

Art is a universal language. Music is a universal language. Love is a universal language. Now, it’s the turn of sand to be mentioned in such terms. In her work, sand artist Kseniya Simonova mixes art, music and love to create her own medium which can be understood and appreciated by everyone.
Simonova said she fell in love with sand art by accident. “I never thought I could perform; I was always a classical artist,” shared Simonova. “I just started it as a hobby and I never thought it would become what it is now.” In 2009, Simonova won the “Ukraine’s Got Talent” TV contest. Since then her fame has increased rapidly, and she has become a real sensation.
The art Simonova creates is amazing; however, the medium she uses is quite common. It is ordinary river sand. “In sand art, it is an idea and its visualization that is important. What I do is create a tale in my mind. The sand is a very convenient medium that is very flexible and responds to speed well. It can show what is going on in my head.”
The images created by the artist last only for a few seconds. However, Simonova is not worried by the momentary nature of sand art. “I know that my creations live only for a while, but I believe that to be completely normal because art reflects life. We live every moment of our life, and we can’t go back and do it again. The same is the case with what I do,” Simonova concluded.
Sand art helps the artist to see the world in a new way, painting ever-changing life in every grain of sand.
4. How does Simonova feel about her achievements in sand art
A. Confident. B. Amused.
C. Confused. D. Surprised.
5. What is important in sand art performance according to Simonova
A. The medium. B. The story.
C. The theatre. D. The audience’s response.
6. What does Simonova say about the momentary nature of sand art
A. It mirrors our life. B. It is a kind of regret.
C It encourages repetition. D. It alarms many sand artists.
7. What can be the best title for the text
A. Love is a universal language
B. Sand art: a new form of performance
C. Kseniya Simonova: painting the world with sand
D. Sand artists: impressing the world with awesome work

When Steven Spielberg was a kid growing up in the 1950s in Arizona, watching westerns on his family’s 20-inch black-and-white TV, he would climb right up to the screen, as if to surround himself with the image. He also wished he could see these moving pictures in color. So he searched through his family’s collection of slides quickly, having learned that by holding one film or another up to the television screen he could turn grayed-out western skies blue, or the ground to a realistic-looking green. Sometimes his mom walked in, and saw him holding these slides up to both of his eyes, right next to the TV set. Often, she would say, “You’re going to burn your eyes out!”
Spielberg’s mom like all the other 50s moms who said the same thing, was wrong about that. But we all know what she must have been thinking: Who is this child
If you’ve seen even just one Steven Spielberg movie in the past 50 years or so — Jaws, Schindler’s List, E. T-you have some sense of who this child grew up to be. And when you see his new film, The Fabelmans, a work of astonishing vividness that’s drawn from his own family’s story, you’ll know even more. Movies have been around for roughly 130 years; Spielberg’s career has covered more than a third of that. Yet The Fabelmans hardly feels like a late-career movie. It’s a bridge for a new beginning.
Not every 75-year-old filmmaker makes a movie like this. Of the ambitious young guys who remade Hollywood in the early 1970s, Spielberg is one of the few still making vital pictures at a consistent (一致的) clip. Yet his career is extraordinary in any context. He’s made some box-office disappointments, but naming a badly made Spielberg film is hard, probably because there isn’t one. No living filmmaker can match his devotion to craftsmanship, to finding new ways of showing us things we think we’ve seen a million times before.
8. How did Spielberg’s mom feel when she saw her son’s behav or in front of the TV set
A. Proud but upset. B. Surprised but supportive.
C. Worried and confused. D. Annoyed and desperate.
9. Which of the following is NOT a reason why Spielberg’s career is regarded as extraordinary
A. He is devoted to filming ordinary things from new angles.
B. He showed great interest in filming at a very young age.
C. His career covers more than a third of the movie history.
D. All his films are probably well-made despite some box-office disappointments.
10. What can be inferred about Spielberg’s new film The Fabelmans
A. It’s the most outstanding film he has ever made in his career.
B. It has been related to part of his growing experience.
C. It represents a totally brand-new type of film theme.
D. It established Spielberg as the most influential filmmaker.
11. What is the purpose of the text
A. To introduce a giant in film-making.
B. To demonstrate how to dare to be different.
C. To indicate curiosity makes success.
D. To recommend a pioneering new film.
D
Last week, Chicago became the first city in the US to join the “Lights Out Plan”. People turned off the lights in the city’s tallest buildings, so that thousands of birds could get to their winter homes. Every year in autumn, some birds fly over Chicago on their way to the south, and come back the next spring.
Lights mean danger to birds. Birds find their way by looking at the stars in the sky. Lights in tall buildings are so bright that birds may mistake them as stars. This means they cannot find the right way to go home.
This month, about 300 types of birds are flying over Chicago to go back to the south to live through the cold winter. Birds fly to warmer places for a few reasons. Many birds cannot live in the cold, so they fly to warmer places. But there are other reasons, too. Birds need to look for food in the south. Another reason is that they want to have baby birds. Many birds like to have their baby birds in the same “house” they lived in last year, so they fly back there.
There are about 9,000 kinds of birds in the world, and about 600 kinds of birds migrate. Some birds can fly a very long way. Sometimes they fly to other countries. We have fewer birds today because there are fewer places for birds.
12. Why did people in Chicago turn off their lights last week
A. Because people wanted to save money.
B. Because people liked the dark night.
C. Because people were a afraid that birds would make much noise.
D. Because people were a afraid that birds would lose their way.
13. What does the underlined word “migrate” mean in Chinese
A. move to a new place B. stay at the same place
C. sleep in winter D. lay eggs
14. Today we have fewer birds because ________.
A. lots of birds are often ill B. people kill lots of birds
C. there are fewer places for birds D. other animals eat them
15. Which of the following statements is NOT true
A. All birds fly to warmer places every year.
B. Some birds have to fly to warmer places in autumn.
C. Some birds can fly a long way to other countries.
D. About 600 kinds of birds migrate in the world.

For Sara’s family, decorating the yard was always a celebration for the New year. This year it was Sara’s father’s turn to hang colorful lights all round their roof according to family tradition.
On New Year’s Eve, light enveloped the whole house. Everything seemed to be going fine until misfortune happened: Sara’s father passed away suddenly. Sara was very sad. However, seeing the hanging lights, she was in a state of feeling happy, gaining a tiny thread of relief.
The lights reminded her of her beloved father. Taking them down meant the final connection with her father would disappear, which she wasn’t ready to accept. So she kept them. One day in March, Sara received a typed note in the mail. “Take your New Year’s lights down!” The letter read, which made Sara angry. She couldn’t hold back her anger, and shared it with her story online. Messages of support flooded into Sara’s inbox quickly. Besides, one day, Sara was driving back home and surprised to find that New Year’s decorations reappeared on houses in her neighborhood —her neighbors had made a collective (共同的) decision to hang their lights back up in honor of her father!
She never learned the sender’s identity. But for her, that hurtful deed was far less important than so many acts of kindness. A few weeks later, Sara eventually took down the decorations. “It was hard. But due to all the support and love, it was not as hard as I thought.”
