Linda, a sixteen-year-old girl, was a “violinist” of average level, who had basic violin playing skills but was neither particularly outstanding nor bad. She just learned to play the violin at the request of her father.
This year, the school music festival came on time. As usual, Linda accompanied the lead singer with her violin, and the rehearsals (彩排) went well. During a break, noticing Linda always play her violin, a teacher asked Linda if she would sing a song. But Linda refused, saying that she had never sung in public places because she was not good at it. The teacher told her, “Each of us seems to have something that we are not good at, but as long as we are brave enough to try, there may be surprises.” Linda still didn’t have the courage, and the teacher encouraged her again, “You are a brave girl, and I believe you can try your best.”
Thrilled and nervous, Linda finally chose to sing Mystery of Life. Everyone was surprised by her voice. She had such a talent for singing! All the students cheered for her! Without such an unexpected opportunity and that teacher, she might have never found her gift. Now she has become one of the best known singers in her city.
Everyone has some talent. If you think you have no talent, you either haven’t discovered yours yet or don’t consider it a talent because it’s not all that useful. You may be able to build a huge house of cards but you don’t think it’s a talent. With confidence and effort, some skills can be unlocked and improved. In your life, you should be brave and confident enough to try doing different things and find out what talents you really have.
4. Linda chose to sing because ______
A. the teacher encouraged her to sing. B. she got lots of applause that night.
C. she wanted to show everyone her talent. D. she didn’t want to play the violin that night.
5. What do you think of the teacher
A. Strict and sensitive. B. Kind and patient.
C. Rude and unfriendly. D. Honest and humorous.
6. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Building a huge house of cards isn’t a talent. B. Confidence and effort help find out talent.
C. All skills can be unlocked and improved. D. Not everyone in the world has a talent.
7. What’s the main idea of the text

C. A violinist became a famous singer. D. We should find out our real talent.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. D

C
Plastic is everywhere in our environment, especially in the ocean. Actually, a large amount of plastic waste is floating around the world’s oceans today, waiting to be eaten by some fish or oyster, and finally perhaps by one of us.
Because plastic wasn’t invented until the late 19th century, and its production only really took off around 1950, we have a mere 9.2 billion tons of the stuff to deal with. Of that, more than 6.9 billion tons have become waste. And of that waste, a surprising 6.3 billion tons never made it to a recycling bin. No one knows how much unrecycled plastic waste ends up in the ocean. In 2015, Jenna Jambeck, an engineering professor, caught everyone’s attention with a rough estimate: between 5.3 million and 14 million tons of plastic waste each year just come from coastal regions.
Meanwhile, ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine (海洋的) animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. Some are stuck by abandoned things made of plastic. Many more are probably harmed invisibly. Marine species of all sizes, from zooplankton to whales, now eat microplastics. We are closely related to oceans so the consequences of throwing plastic away may return to affect us some day.
“This isn’t a problem where we don’t know what the solution is,” says Ted Siegler, a Vermont resource economist, “We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to deal with it. We know how to recycle.” It’s a matter of building the necessary systems, he says, ideally before the ocean turns into a thin soup of plastic.
8. What’s the function of the first paragraph
A. To prove plastic was difficult to invent. B. To tell us what marine animals like eating.
C. To call on us to protect marine animals. D. To introduce the topic of the passage.
9. How is the second paragraph mainly developed
A. By listing figures. B. By giving examples.
C. By analyzing reasons. D. By making comparisons.
10. What does the underlined word in paragraph 3 probably refer to
A. results B. functions C. causes D. aims
11. What does Ted Siegler want to tell us
A. Some people don’t know the solution of plastics waste.
B. It’s time to take measures to deal with plastic waste.
C. Plastics will turn the ocean into a soup of plastic.
D. People should avoid using plastics to protect the ocean.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了如今塑料垃圾已经严重地污染了我们的环境,尤其是海洋环境,人类应该采取错误改变这一现状。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Plastic is everywhere in our environment, especially in the ocean. Actually, a large amount of plastic waste is floating around the world’s oceans today, waiting to be eaten by some fish or oyster, and finally perhaps by one of us.(塑料在我们的环境中无处不在,尤其是在海洋中。事实上,今天有大量的塑料垃圾漂浮在世界各地的海洋中,等待着被一些鱼或牡蛎吃掉,最终可能被我们中的一个人吃掉。)”可推知,第一段的主要作用是引出海洋塑料垃圾污染严重这一主题。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Because plastic wasn’t invented until the late 19th century, and its production only really took off around 1950, we have a mere 9. 2 billion tons of the stuff to deal with. Of that, more than 6.9 billion tons have become waste. And of that waste, a surprising 6. 3 billion tons never made it to a recycling bin.(因为塑料直到19世纪末才被发明出来,它的生产在1950年左右才真正开始,我们有大约92亿吨的东西要处理。其中,超过69亿吨变成了废物。在这些垃圾中,有令人惊讶的63亿吨没有进入回收箱。)”和“In 2015, Jenna Jambeck, an engineering professor, caught everyone’s attention with a rough estimate: between 5. 3 million and 14 million tons of plastic waste each year just come from coastal regions.(2015年,工程学教授詹娜·詹贝克(Jenna Jambeck)的一个粗略估计引起了所有人的注意:每年有300万吨到1400万吨的塑料垃圾来自沿海地区。)”可推知,第二段主要是通过列数字的方式进行展开的。故选A。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“Marine species of all sizes, from zooplankton to whales, now eat microplastics.(各种大小的海洋物种,从浮游动物到鲸鱼,现在都在吃微塑料。)”可知,我们与海洋密切相关,所以扔掉塑料的后果可能会在某一天回来影响我们。由此可推知,consequence意为“后果”,与results意思相同。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““This isn’t a problem where we don’t know what the solution is,” says Ted Siegler, a Vermont resource economist, “We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to deal with it. We know how to recycle.” It’s a matter of building the necessary systems, he says, ideally before the ocean turns into a thin soup of plastic.(“这不是一个我们不知道解决办法的问题,”佛蒙特州资源经济学家泰德·西格勒(Ted Siegler)说,“我们知道如何捡垃圾。任何人都能做到。我们知道如何处理它。我们知道如何回收利用。”他说,这是一个建立必要系统的问题,最好是在海洋变成一团薄薄的塑料汤之前。)”可知,Ted Siegler想要告诉我们是时候采取措施处理塑料垃圾了。故选B。
D
Dragons, a famous imaginary creature born from fantasy, are often present in stories in the west and east. In both cultures, dragons are recognized as massive creatures capable of flight. They have great power and magical abilities. However, due to their different cultural roots and images, there are significant differences in the different dragon elements in the west and east, particularly in China.
Chinese dragons most look like snakes, and have four claws (爪) and no wings. They often have features of other animals, including carp, tigers, and eagles. In the contrast, Western dragons look like huge lizards (蜥蜴) with big claws and large bat-like wings, and are often shown rough scales.
In traditional Chinese culture, a dragon is a symbol of luck, power and high position. They can cause weather changes and bring rainfall to the fields to ensure rich harvests. They are considered sacred creatures, which hold an important position as the head of the four spirits. Therefore, to symbolize their power, ancient Chinese emperors decorated their clothes with dragon patterns. These clothes are known as dragon robes. Many Chinese view the dragon as a national symbol, proudly referring to themselves as “descendants of the dragon”. In the west, however, a dragon symbolizes an evil creature that spreads violence and terror throughout the land. They are believed to be transformed by the devil (魔鬼), with the ability to breathe fire or spit poison. Many western tales show dragons being defeated and killed to protect people from danger.
Today, dragons continue to change, finding new significance in global culture. They are no longer connected with evil or good, but with their own unique personalities and motivations. For example, Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon begins as a dangerous dragon but changes into a misunderstood creature with love and kindness. This changes the idea of dragons as naturally evil, showing their both emotions and motivations.
12. What do western dragons and eastern dragons have in common
A. They have rough skin. B. They have big claws and wings.
C. They are in the shape of snakes. D. They are huge and powerful.
13. What do we know from paragraph 3
A. Dragons are believed to make trouble in western culture.
B. Dragons in China can protect people from danger.
C. Chinese dragons can control rainfall and breathe fire.
D. Western dragons are a symbol of authority.
14. What is new about dragons in today’s global culture
A. They are regarded as adventurous creatures.
B. They are closely linked with evil or good.
C. They have more various emotions and personalities.
D. They represent human spirits facing challenges.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. The Origin of Dragons in Chinese History B. The Dragon Elements in World Culture
C. The Magical Animals in Different Countries D. The Images of Dragons in Western Traditions
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In both cultures, dragons are recognized as massive creatures capable of flight. They have great power and magical abilities. (在这两种文化中,龙都被认为是能够飞行的巨大生物。他们有强大的力量和魔法能力。)”可知,在东西方文化中,龙都是能够飞行的巨大生物,拥有强大的力量,通常与魔法能力联系在一起。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“In the west, however, a dragon symbolizes an evil creature that spreads violence and terror throughout the land. They are believed to be transformed by the devil, with the ability to breathe fire or spit poison. Many western tales show dragons being defeated and killed to protect people from danger.(然而,在西方,龙象征着一种邪恶的生物,在整个土地上传播暴力和恐怖。他们被认为是被魔鬼改造的,有能力喷火或吐毒。许多西方故事都讲述了龙被打败和杀死以保护人们免受危险)”可知,在西方文化中,龙象征着一种邪恶的生物,在整个土地上传播暴力和恐怖,许多西方故事都讲述了龙被杀死以保护人类。由此推知,在西方文化中,龙被认为会引起混乱。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Today, dragons continue to change, finding new significance in global culture. They are no longer connected with evil or good, but with their own unique personalities and motivations.(今天,龙继续变化,在全球文化中找到新的意义。他们不再与恶或善有关,而是有自己独特的个性和动机。)”可知,在当今的全球文化中,龙有更多不同的情感和个性。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“In both cultures, dragons are recognized as massive creatures capable of flight. They have great power and magical abilities. However, due to their different cultural roots and images, there are significant differences in the different dragon elements in the west and east, particularly in China.(在这两种文化中,龙都被认为是能够飞行的巨大生物。他们有强大的力量和魔法能力。然而,由于其文化根源和形象的不同,中西方特别是中国的龙元素存在着显著差异。)”以及最后一段“Today, dragons continue to change, finding new significance in global culture. (今天,龙继续变化,在全球文化中找到新的意义。)”再结合全文内容可知,文章主要探讨了龙这一虚构生物在不同文化中的形象和象征意义,并强调了随着全球文化的融合与发展,龙的形象和认知也在不断变化和丰富。文章不仅对比了中西方文化中龙的形象和寓意,还提到了现代文化中龙形象的演变和多样化。由此可知,B项:The Dragon Elements in World Culture(世界文化中的龙元素。)是最好的标题。故选B。

Not knowing what to do, he walked out of the classroom and sat on the grassland in front of the canteen. He saw a few of his classmates there, among whom was Henry. He was one of the richest kids in his class, but he was a very rude boy who regarded everyone else as a failure. But Eric was a newcomer, he didn’t know much about Henry.
When he approached Henry and asked whether he could borrow some money for his lunch, Henry laughed at once and said, “I didn’t know you were a loser, maybe a beggar ” Henry laughed out so loud that other kids also made fun of Eric. Embarrassed and angry, Eric said nothing and slowly walked back towards an empty bench.
When he reached the bench, he saw something lying under it. It was a wallet. He picked it up and recognized it belonged to Henry, as he remembered Henry showing it to his friends and telling them that his uncle had bought it for him from the UK. There was quite a lot of money inside for a kid.
