Another Disney princess movie hit theaters on March 5. But this time the princess doesn’t wait for the prince to save her—she is ready to save the world herself. Raya and the Last Dragon, the film shows Southeast Asian culture and Disney’s first Southeast Asian heroine (女主角).
The story takes place in a world called Kumandra. Five hundred years ago, the world’s dragons died to save humans. But the world breaks up into five states that fight against each other. Raya, the princess of one of the states, needs to find the last dragon to save the world. On her journey, Raya invites other people to join her and learns to trust others and be more responsible.
Once upon a time, being a Disney princess meant being a damsel in distress (落难少女) in a European fairy tale, but this movie is different, according to the BBC. Raya has no boyfriend, but is a great fighter who is very brave and independent, according to the movie’s writer Adele Lim.
Besides Raya, most of the main characters in the movie, including the dragon Sisu, are female. They stand out and depend on（依靠） no one else instead of acting as supporting roles for males. Namaari, once a friend to Raya, is now a dangerous enemy. She is a strong, brave and loyal fighter, just like Raya.
The movie shows “a complicated dynamic (复杂互动) that’s still rare in the Disney universe, particularly between women,” the Los Angeles Times said.
（ ）44. Paragraph 2 is written to explain ________.
A what a traditional Disney princess is like B. how the movie was made
C. what the movie is mainly about D. how Southeast Asian culture looks
（ ）45. The female characters in this movie are special because ________.

B. they save humans by killing dragons
C. they support the male characters
D. they are outstanding on their own
（ ）46. The theme of the movie might be ________.
A. trust, responsibility and female power B. beauty and love
C. protecting animals and the environment D. friendship, trust and death
(C)
One day, three of my friends came to our house.
They told me they were going to Africa. They asked me if I wanted to go with them. I said, “Yes, of course I’d love to.”
We started to prepare all the necessary things for the journey. Soon we were ready to go. I said goodbye to my wife and we started our journey. Our plan was to be back in two months.
We left Brazil (巴西) on the first of September, 1659. Our ship was very big but we were only seventeen men. The ship was full of things for business. We had cups, glass, mirrors, knives and other things.
At the beginning of our journey, the weather was very good, but very hot. In one week, a hurricane (飓风) came and it was threatening our ship for the next twelve days. After the hurricane passed, we saw we went quite far away from our original (原来的) journey and were instead close to the northern part of Brazil near the Orinoco River. The ship was badly damaged, so we could no longer go to Africa.
The captain wanted us to go back and repair the ship, but I strongly disagree with him. We went over the maps and decided the best thing to do was to go to Barbados and repair the ship there.
When we started this short trip, a second hurricane came. The next morning one of the sailors cried out, “Land ” and at that moment the ship stopped in shallow (浅的) water. We expected the ship to break apart (解体) at any moment because of the strong wind, so we all got into the small boat the ship carried. This was very dangerous because the seventeen of us were too crowded (拥挤的) in the boat, and it had no sail.
The waves (浪) were very big. The wind was too strong. The wind pushed us to big rocks. We knew the crash was close.
Suddenly, a huge wave came and over turned the boat. I was covered with water and couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t see the others or the boat. But I saw a little beach between the rocks.
Another wave carried me to the beach. I tried to get up. I also tried to go far away from the sea. I was able to move ten metres up. I was safe. But my arms and legs were very weak. I fell down and I was lying on the beach.
—— An excerpt from Robinson Crusoe
( ) 47. Why did the writer and his friends go to Africa
To leave their wives. B. To make some money.
C. To send things to Africa. D. To travel around Africa.
( ) 48. What did they do after the first hurricane passed
They had to go back to the place where they started.
They studied the map and found a new way to Africa.
They headed for the nearest place to repair their ship.
They lost their way on the sea and gave up their ship.
( ) 49. Which is NOT the reason for the boat becoming dangerous
No sail. B. Too many men. C. Big waves. D. Shallow water.
( ) 50. Which of the following shows the right order of the events
① The ship changed the direction after the hurricane.
② All the men escaped (逃跑) to the boat but it turned over.
③ The writer was washed up onto beach by a wave.
④ The ship left Brazil with seventeen men on board.
⑤ The strong wind almost broke the ship into pieces.
A. ①②④⑤③ B. ④①⑤②③ C. ④⑤①②③ D. ④②①⑤③

七、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，计10分）
阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。（每题答案不超过10个词）
Mark Twain is one of the most quoted writers ever. There are hundreds of his quotations (语录) in books, on posters and on websites. Here is an example:
“If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.”—Mark Twain.
Quotations like this one give us advice. It warns us that telling a lie is much more difficult than telling the truth. Telling a lie means you have to remember what you said each time you tell the lie. If you tell the truth, there is nothing to remember. He suggests that you shouldn’t lie not because it is wrong, but because it is hard work. Here is another example.
“Always obey your parents when they are present.”—Mark Twain
Again the quotation gives good advice—to always obey your parents, but the humorous part is when they are present. The quotation tells you to obey your parents when they are there with you —because they can see what you are doing.
Albert Einstein’s quotations are also popular. Many of his quotations are inspirational (鼓舞人心的). This means that they help us to do our best and be the best person we can be. Here is an example:
“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.”—Albert Einstein
This is a much more serious quotation than the two Mark Twain ones. It gives us a lot to think about. Also, because this was said by Albert Einstein, it makes us want to take the quotation serious. This quotation gives us hope that we can learn from any mistake we made yesterday. It reminds (提醒) us to always look closely at everything we do and ask the right questions to help us achieve our best.
66. Where can we always find Mark Twain’s quotations
_______________________________________
67. According to Mark Twain, why should we always obey our parents when they are present
_______________________________________
68. What does “Learn from yesterday” in Albert Einstein’s quotation really mean
_______________________________________
69. What’s the purpose of not to stop questioning
_______________________________________
70. Which of the three quotations impresses (印象) you most Why

May 19th is National Tourism Day. We students should always improve ourselves. Besides reading, travelling is also a good way. I like travelling very much.
So far, I have travelled to Beijing ,Hong Kong, New York and many other places. But my favourite place is Hong Kong. It is an international modern city with many beautiful places of interest. We can enjoy delicious food there. Last summer we visited Hong Kong Disneyland. We watched a parade of Disney characters there and I couldn’t stop taking photos with them. I had a good time there.
Travelling is really a good way to open our mind and learn more about the world.
