Happy Rain on a Spring Night Good rain knows its time right; O’er wild lanes dark cloud spreads; It will fall when comes spring. In boat a lantern looms. With wind it steals in night; Dawn sees saturated reds: Mute, it moistens each thing.The town’s heavy with blooms. ——Translated by Xu Yuanchong
When Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu (712-770) wrote this poem, he was living in Chengdu. Sometimes he went to farm in the field. The poem shows his care for farmers.
The very first word, “good”, shows the poet’s joy and love for the spring rain. The rain is good indeed, as it “knows” the proper (合适的) time to come. Here the poet uses personification, as if the rain were smart enough to know that it should come in time for the farmer’s busy plowing (农耕) season.
When the rain comes, it appears during the night without making any noise. Unlike the thunder and lightning of summer storms, the quiet spring rain makes its contributions (贡献) without seeking (寻求) to be known.
In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy, indicating (暗示) that there will be enough rain during the night. Then the poet imagines: tomorrow morning, all of the flowers in the city will bloom after the rain.
26．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “personification”
A．拟人 B．明喻 C．对比 D．排比
27．Which word can be used to describe the rain in this poem
A．Busy. B．Quiet. C．Clean. D．Enough.
28．Why does the poet use the word “knows” in the first line of the poem
A．To introduce the poem. B．To describe the rain’s smartness.
C．To show the farmer’s busy plowing. D．To tell the proper time of rain.
【答案】 26．A 27．B 28．B
【导语】本文主要介绍了杜甫的诗《春夜喜雨》及诗中蕴含的意义。
26．词义猜测题。根据第二段“as if the rain were smart enough to know that it should come in time for the farmer’s busy plowing season.”就好像雨很聪明，知道它应该及时到来，好赶上农民忙碌的耕种季节；可知，此处是拟人写法。故选A。
27．推理判断题。根据第三段“When the rain comes, it appears during the night without making any noise.”下雨时，它出现在夜间，没有发出任何声音；“Unlike the thunder and lightning of summer storms, the quiet spring rain makes its contributions without seeking to be known.”与夏季风暴的雷电不同，宁静的春雨在不为人所知的情况下做出了自己的贡献；可知，此处用“宁静”描述春雨。故选B。
28．推理判断题。根据第二段“Here the poet uses personification, as if the rain were smart enough to know that it should come in time for the farmer’s busy plowing season”诗人使用了拟人化，仿佛雨足够聪明，知道它应该在农民繁忙的耕种季节到来；可知，诗人用“knows”是为了描述雨的聪明。故选B。

They liked working in the restaurant, but they got tired of the customers (顾客) ordering so many different things to eat.
“If we gave customers a smaller menu (菜单), we could make some of the food before they came, and they wouldn’t have to wait so long for their meals,” said one of the brothers. The other brother agreed and said, “If we made the customers come to the counter (柜台), we wouldn’t need any waiters and waitresses (女服务员). We could also use plastic plates so there wouldn’t be any washing-up.”
These were such good ideas that the McDonald’s brothers used them, and the customers were very pleased. They got their meals very quickly—in less than a minute—and they paid only 15 cents (分) for hamburgers and 10 cents for fries (油炸食品). The first McDonald’s restaurant had no seats for customers to sit on. This meant that people had to take their food away, and that no one had to clean up any tables after them.
Then a man called Ray Kroc came to the brothers and asked to buy their business. They agreed to sell it to him for $27 million. After that, people paid Ray Kroc to open their own restaurants using the McDonald’s name and menu. Before long, there were McDonald’s restaurants all over the United States, and nowadays, they are all over the world—even in China and Russia. The most successful McDonald’s business is in Hong Kong of China. The Hong Kong McDonald’s sells more hamburgers every day than any other McDonald’s anywhere else in the world.
McDonald’s restaurants are so successful because children love going to them. They like the food, and they like the toys and games they can get at McDonald’s.

29．推理判断题。根据“They got their meals very quickly—in less than a minute—and they paid only 15 cents (分) for hamburgers and 10 cents for fries (油炸食品)”可知，汉堡包只花了15美分，薯条只花了10美分，说明很便宜。故选B。
30．细节理解题。根据“The first McDonald’s restaurant had no seats for customers to sit on. This meant that people had to take their food away”可知，第一家麦当劳餐厅没有座位给顾客坐。这意味着人们不得不把他们的食物带走。故选C。

Zu Chongzhi was one of the greatest mathematicians (数学家) in ancient China. He was born during the Northern and Southern dynasties. From a young age, Zu was taught natural science, astronomy (天文学), math, philosophy (哲学) and so on. The little boy was interested in all of these subjects, especially in math.
Zu was best known for his calculation (计算) of pi. According to historical records, he did all the work using only wooden sticks. It took him lots of time to work out the value — between 3.1415926 and 3.1415927. No one at that time was able to calculate it more accurately (准确地) than Zu. The achievement (成就) has been recognized (认可) around the world. In order to remember Zu, some mathematicians have suggested calling pi “Zu Lv (祖率)”. Zu was also known for working out how to calculate the volume (体积) of a sphere (球). He did this with the help of his son Zu Gengzhi. The two recorded their achievement in Zhui Shu. The book was used during the Tang dynasty.
But Zu was successful not only in math; he did a good job in astronomy, too. He worked out that a year should be 365.24281481 days long and created the Daming Calendar (日历). However, government officials at that time did not agree with Zu. The great mathematician never saw his calendar put into use. After his death, Zu Gengzhi kept on proving that the Daming Calendar was more accurate. Almost ten years later, the new calendar was finally accepted.
Zu was also an inventor. He once made a vehicle (交通工具). It carried a pointer (指针). Zu also invented the 1,000-li Boat. The boat could travel 100 li (about 60 kilometers) in a day.
33．What’s the best structure for the text

A．To introduce a great dynasty in ancient China.
B．To introduce the achievements in ancient China.
C．To tell us a story about Zu Chongzhi and his son.
D．To tell us about Zu Chongzhi’s great achievements.
【答案】33．D 34．C 35．B 36．D
【导语】本文主要介绍了数学家祖冲之。
33．篇章结构题。第一段总体概述介绍的对象；第二，三，四段介绍祖冲之的的成就。故是总分的结构。故选D。
34．细节理解题。根据“Zu was also known for working out how to calculate the volume (体积) of a sphere (球). He did this with the help of his son Zu Gengzhi. The two recorded their achievement in Zhui Shu.”可知Zhui Shu这本书记载的是如何计算球的体积，故选C。
35．细节理解题。根据“Zu also invented the 1,000-li Boat. The boat could travel 100 li (about 60 kilometers) in a day.”可知，祖还发明了千里船。这艘船一天可以行驶100里（约60公里），结合图片可知是B。故选B。

More than 3,000 years ago, people in the Shang Dynasty (16th—11th century B.C.) liked to ask fortune tellers (占卜师) about the future. For example, what will the weather be like next week Where should I go to make money Will my kid be successful in the future 38 The fortune teller would write the question on an oracle bone, heat it up, and then read the cracks (裂纹) in it to find an answer.
39 They can tell us a great deal about how people lived during the Shang Dynasty. “They help us understand the origins (起源) of Chinese philosophy (哲学) and thought, and find out where our culture comes from,” Song Zhenhao, a leading oracle bone expert, told China Daily.
In addition to telling us about ancient Chinese culture, the oracle bones are also key to understanding the growth and development of the written form of the Chinese language. 40 “The oracle bone inscriptions, as the earliest-known form of Chinese characters, stand for the beauty and specificity of a language that has been passed down.” said Chen Nan, a professor at Tsinghua University.
In 2017, UNESCO added oracle bone inscriptions to its Memory of the World Register(“世界记忆”名录). They are indeed an important memory of ancient China.
A．A large number of records record Chinese culture and make it known to us.
B．Tens of thousands of oracle bones have been found so far.

38．根据“For example, what will the weather be like next week Where should I go to make money Will my kid be successful in the future ”可知此处列举了很多问题，选项C“从工作到爱情，人们提出了许多问题”符合语境，故选C。
39．根据后文“They can tell us a great deal about how people lived during the Shang Dynasty.”可知甲骨文可以告诉我们很多关于商朝时期人们是如何生活的，所以甲骨文应是被人们发现，选项B“到目前为止，已经发现了数以万计的甲骨”符合语境，故选B。
40．根据前文“The oracle bone inscriptions, as the earliest-known form of Chinese characters, stand for the beauty and specificity of a language that has been passed down.”可知，甲骨文作为已知的最早的汉字形式，代表着一种流传下来的语言的美丽和独特，所以甲骨文流传下来应与我们今天使用的字有相似之处，选项D“我们今天使用的许多字符与3000年前使用的字符相似”符合语境，故选D。

42.句意：是的，和你们中的一些人打交道有点困难！it is adj. to do sth是固定句型，意思是“做某事是……的”。故填to deal。
43．句意：你们都长大了，我为你们感到骄傲grow up“长大”，固定短语。故填up。
44．句意：尽管你们在过去的三年里非常努力，但并没有一个人做到这一点。work“工作”，根据“over the last three years”可知句子用现在完成时have/has done，主语是复数，助动词用have，work的过去分词是worked。故填have worked。
45．句意：最后，我会给你一些关于如何应对未来的建议。根据“some advice...how to deal with your future”可知是关于如何应对未来的建议，用介词on。故填on。
46．句意：一路上你会犯错误，但关键是要从错误中吸取教训，永不放弃。the key is to do sth“关键是做某事”，不定式作表语。故填to learn。
47．句意：在你打开的每扇门后面都有学习新事物的机会，你可以做出自己的选择。your own后加名词，choose的名词是choice，且此处用复数。故填choices。
48．句意：明智地选择，并对自己的决定和行动负责。根据音标可知，此处是单词wisely“明智地”，副词修饰动词choose。故填wisely。
49．句意：尽管你必须走自己的路，但我希望你几年后能回来参观我们学校。根据“go your...way”可知是走自己的路，one’s own“某人自己的”。故填own。
50．句意：未来的你们的。此处是表语，根据语境可知此处是“未来的你们的”，用名词性物主代词“你们的”yours。故填yours。

51.He has given me some useful (建议) yesterday.
【答案】advice/suggestions
【详解】句意：他昨天已经给我一些有用的建议。根据“some”可知，此处可用不可数名词advice，或者可数名词复数suggestions“建议”。故填advice/suggestions。

56.Although Quasimodo is the (ugly) character I have ever read about, his story really touches me a lot.
【答案】ugliest
【详解】句意：虽然卡西莫多是我读过的最丑的人物，但他的故事打动了我很多。根据空前的“the”以及空后的“character I have ever read about,”可知，此处用形容词ugly的最高级ugliest“最丑的”。故填ugliest。
57.Look! There is a boy (tie) his shoes at the school gate.
【答案】tying
【详解】句意：看！有一个男孩在学校门口系鞋带。分析句子结构可知，空格处应填一个非谓语动词，结合“Look!”可知，句子为现在进行时态，所以应用动词-ing形式表示动作正在进行。故填tying。

【详解】句中“more than thirty years”表示一段时间，要与时间介词for连用，时态用现在完成时：have/has done，主语是复数形式，助动词用have；get married“结婚”，短暂性动词，此处使用其延续性动词be married。故填have been married for。
62.工作在外，与父母尽可能经常保持联系是必要的。
parents as often as possible is necessary when working outside .
【答案】Keeping in touch with/Staying in touch with
【详解】根据中英文对照可知，横线处缺少“和……保持联系”的英文表述，keep in touch with和stay in touch with都可以表示“和……保持联系”，分析句子成分，此处应用动名词作主语，首字母应大写。故填Keeping in touch with/Staying in touch with。
63.新来乍到，总要过些时候才会习惯。
It always takes time a new place.
【答案】to get used to
【详解】习惯一个新地方：get used to a new place；it takes time to do sth.“花费时间做某事”，it作形式主语，真正的主语是动词不定式。故填to get used to。

Our class is forty students, and our teacher all of us.

66.我想知道如何与我德国的朋友保持联系。
I want to know .

Happy Rain on a Spring Night Good rain knows its time right; O’er wild lanes dark cloud spreads; It will fall when comes spring. In boat a lantern looms. With wind it steals in night; Dawn sees saturated reds: Mute, it moistens each thing.The town’s heavy with blooms. ——Translated by Xu Yuanchong
When Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu (712-770) wrote this poem, he was living in Chengdu. Sometimes he went to farm in the field. The poem shows his care for farmers.
The very first word, “good”, shows the poet’s joy and love for the spring rain. The rain is good indeed, as it “knows” the proper (合适的) time to come. Here the poet uses personification, as if the rain were smart enough to know that it should come in time for the farmer’s busy plowing (农耕) season.
When the rain comes, it appears during the night without making any noise. Unlike the thunder and lightning of summer storms, the quiet spring rain makes its contributions (贡献) without seeking (寻求) to be known.
In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy, indicating (暗示) that there will be enough rain during the night. Then the poet imagines: tomorrow morning, all of the flowers in the city will bloom after the rain.
26．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “personification”
A．拟人 B．明喻 C．对比 D．排比
27．Which word can be used to describe the rain in this poem

28．Why does the poet use the word “knows” in the first line of the poem
A．To introduce the poem. B．To describe the rain’s smartness.
C．To show the farmer’s busy plowing. D．To tell the proper time of rain.

They liked working in the restaurant, but they got tired of the customers (顾客) ordering so many different things to eat.
“If we gave customers a smaller menu (菜单), we could make some of the food before they came, and they wouldn’t have to wait so long for their meals,” said one of the brothers. The other brother agreed and said, “If we made the customers come to the counter (柜台), we wouldn’t need any waiters and waitresses (女服务员). We could also use plastic plates so there wouldn’t be any washing-up.”
These were such good ideas that the McDonald’s brothers used them, and the customers were very pleased. They got their meals very quickly—in less than a minute—and they paid only 15 cents (分) for hamburgers and 10 cents for fries (油炸食品). The first McDonald’s restaurant had no seats for customers to sit on. This meant that people had to take their food away, and that no one had to clean up any tables after them.
Then a man called Ray Kroc came to the brothers and asked to buy their business. They agreed to sell it to him for $27 million. After that, people paid Ray Kroc to open their own restaurants using the McDonald’s name and menu. Before long, there were McDonald’s restaurants all over the United States, and nowadays, they are all over the world—even in China and Russia. The most successful McDonald’s business is in Hong Kong of China. The Hong Kong McDonald’s sells more hamburgers every day than any other McDonald’s anywhere else in the world.
McDonald’s restaurants are so successful because children love going to them. They like the food, and they like the toys and games they can get at McDonald’s.

Zu Chongzhi was one of the greatest mathematicians (数学家) in ancient China. He was born during the Northern and Southern dynasties. From a young age, Zu was taught natural science, astronomy (天文学), math, philosophy (哲学) and so on. The little boy was interested in all of these subjects, especially in math.
Zu was best known for his calculation (计算) of pi. According to historical records, he did all the work using only wooden sticks. It took him lots of time to work out the value — between 3.1415926 and 3.1415927. No one at that time was able to calculate it more accurately (准确地) than Zu. The achievement (成就) has been recognized (认可) around the world. In order to remember Zu, some mathematicians have suggested calling pi “Zu Lv (祖率)”. Zu was also known for working out how to calculate the volume (体积) of a sphere (球). He did this with the help of his son Zu Gengzhi. The two recorded their achievement in Zhui Shu. The book was used during the Tang dynasty.
But Zu was successful not only in math; he did a good job in astronomy, too. He worked out that a year should be 365.24281481 days long and created the Daming Calendar (日历). However, government officials at that time did not agree with Zu. The great mathematician never saw his calendar put into use. After his death, Zu Gengzhi kept on proving that the Daming Calendar was more accurate. Almost ten years later, the new calendar was finally accepted.
Zu was also an inventor. He once made a vehicle (交通工具). It carried a pointer (指针). Zu also invented the 1,000-li Boat. The boat could travel 100 li (about 60 kilometers) in a day.

A．To introduce a great dynasty in ancient China.
B．To introduce the achievements in ancient China.
C．To tell us a story about Zu Chongzhi and his son.
D．To tell us about Zu Chongzhi’s great achievements.
四、阅读还原 (六选四 共4小题；每小题1.5分，满分6分)
How do we know about things that happened thousands of years ago, when there were no videos or photos One answer is written records. 37
More than 3,000 years ago, people in the Shang Dynasty (16th—11th century B.C.) liked to ask fortune tellers (占卜师) about the future. For example, what will the weather be like next week Where should I go to make money Will my kid be successful in the future 38 The fortune teller would write the question on an oracle bone, heat it up, and then read the cracks (裂纹) in it to find an answer.
39 They can tell us a great deal about how people lived during the Shang Dynasty. “They help us understand the origins (起源) of Chinese philosophy (哲学) and thought, and find out where our culture comes from,” Song Zhenhao, a leading oracle bone expert, told China Daily.
In addition to telling us about ancient Chinese culture, the oracle bones are also key to understanding the growth and development of the written form of the Chinese language. 40 “The oracle bone inscriptions, as the earliest-known form of Chinese characters, stand for the beauty and specificity of a language that has been passed down.” said Chen Nan, a professor at Tsinghua University.
In 2017, UNESCO added oracle bone inscriptions to its Memory of the World Register(“世界记忆”名录). They are indeed an important memory of ancient China.
A．A large number of records record Chinese culture and make it known to us.
B．Tens of thousands of oracle bones have been found so far.
C．From work to love, people asked questions about many topics.
D．Many of the characters we use today are similar to those used 3,000 years ago.
E．Did people at that time know the relationship between their future and fortune tellers
F．The earliest written records of Chinese culture are known as oracle bone inscriptions (甲骨文).
