People in ancient China worked long hours each day. To relax, they invented many games. Here are some of them.
chuiwan (捶丸) Chuiwan was one of the ball games in ancient China, which was very popular in the Song Dynasty. “Chui” means hit” and “wan” means “ball”. This sport was similar to golf. On a large field, the players were divided into two groups. Usually there were 2 to 10 people in each group. Everyone had three chances to hit the ball into holes with a stick. Only when three hits into the hole were achieved did the player win the point.
cuju (蹴鞠) First recorded 2, 000 years ago, cuju is known as the earliest form of football. The ball was made of leather (皮革) on the outside and filled with rice bran (米糠) inside. As a fun and relaxing game, cuju was used in the army to train soldiers. Its rules were similar to the rules of football. Each team usually had 12 or 16 players. No hands were allowed. Only feet and head could be used. The ball should be hit into the opposite goal.

Travelling around the world can be exciting, but it can also be challenging and lead to culture shock and feelings of stress.
When I moved to Tuscany, Italy, right after college, I fell in love with the scenery. Who wouldn’t be The rolling hills, beautiful buildings and delicious food made the long flight worth every minute. I was excited about my new beginning. But then, I started to notice little things.
As an American, we are used to a bit of personal space. Where I’m from, knocking into someone or standing very closely is considered quite impolite. This is different from the truth in Italy.
Because there were no translation apps at that time, not knowing the language was also challenging. Sometimes, I would feel helpless. However, Italians like to speak with their hands—a habit I’ve carried over till this day. Gestures can express general ideas and feelings.
Of course, just because you’ve experienced culture shock in one country doesn’t mean you won’t do so in another.
Years later, when I moved to China, my experience was special. The culture there was something very foreign to me — down to how to buy things. Before moving there, I had never heard of WeChat or Alipay. I wasn’t
prepared at all for how important these things would be.
Experiencing small waves of culture shock reminds me that I am travelling around the world and that I should appreciate what I’m taking in.
American-British writer Bill Bryson said that “…the greatest reward of travel is…to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar that it is taken for granted (被认为是理所当然的).”
5．What is the culture shock to the writer in Italy
A．Italians are hard to get on with. B．Italians stand quite closely to each other.
C．Italian scenery is not as beautiful as imagined. D．Italians are against learning foreign languages.
6．________ helped the writer understand what Italians were saying.
A．Translation apps B．Hand gestures C．Expressions D．Pictures
7．When arriving in China, the writer
A．began to buy many things online B．learned to speak Chinese
C．experienced culture shock again D．used WeChat and Alipay well
8．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us
A．How to deal with different cultures. B．The trouble of travelling around the world.
C．How to search for a best place to visit. D．The value of experiencing culture shock.
【答案】 5．B 6．B 7．C 8．D
【解析】本文结合作者自己的经历，主要讲述了讲述了自己在国外旅行时遭遇的文化冲击及其价值。
5．细节理解题。根据“Where I’m from, knocking into someone or standing very closely is considered quite impolite. This is different from the truth in Italy.”可知在意大利，人们站的很近，这和作者的家乡不一样。故选B。
6．细节理解题。根据“Italians like to speak with their hands—a habit I’ve carried over till this day. Gestures can express general ideas and feelings.”可知手势帮助作者理解意大利人在说什么。故选B。
7．推理判断题。根据“Years later, when I moved to China, my experience was special. The culture there was something very foreign to me”可知几年后，当作者回到中国时，那里的文化对作者来说很陌生，可见作者又经历了文化冲击。故选C。
8．主旨大意题。根据“ the greatest reward of travel is…to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar that it is taken for granteds … to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar that it is taken for granted”可知，此处是在解释经历不同文化的价值所在。故选D。
(C)
A language is a living thing. A language needs to be used; otherwise it gets forgotten. There are about 7,000 languages still in use in the world. But about every fourteen days, one of these languages is no longer spoken and dies. Experts believe that by 2100, more than half of today’s languages will extinct.
There are many reasons why a language starts to disappear. Often it’s because the need for the language disappears. Or because fewer people communicate with it.
In Bolivia, more than 30 languages are spoken today. One is a secret language called Kallawaya. The reason it’s known as a secret language is because it’s only taught by a father to his son or a grandfather to his grandson. Girls almost never learn to speak it. The Kallawaya people use their language for healing and in their family. They don’t really use it anywhere else. These days, there are only about twenty people who can speak Kallawaya. With each new generation, fewer males will speak the language and pass it on to their children. Kallawaya is disappearing because of cultural and social changes in people’s behavior.
The eastern group of the Cherokee Indian tribe (部落) lives in the state of North Carolina, the USA．Today, there are fewer than 200 fluent (流利的) speakers of Cherokee living in North Carolina. Cherokee people in North Carolina are trying to change that. They set up an elementary school to teach the Cherokee language and culture. Now, more children can speak Cherokee. Many people are trying to help their language grow. In fact, you can find smartphone apps and computer software (软件) in Cherokee.
9．Why will a language die
A．Because it is difficult to use.
B．Because fewer people use it.
C．Because it is too old to be alive.
D．Because it needs a change.
10．What does the underlined word “extinct” in Paragraph 1 mean
A．Benefit. B．Spread. C．Cooperate. D．Disappear.
11．Who traditionally teaches Kallawaya to the younger generation
A．Mothers. B．Adult males. C．Grandmothers. D．School teachers.
12．What are people doing to help the Cherokee language
A．Working hard to improve it.
B．Asking more people to speak it.
C．Setting up a school to teach it.
D．Giving away apps and software.
【答案】 9．B 10．D 11．B 12．C
【解析】本文讲述了语言是有生命的东西，人们需要使用它，否则它也会灭绝。文中介绍了语言所面临的危机、语言为什么会消失、语言的重要性、有哪些语言正在逐步的消失、以及如何拯救语言文化。
9．细节理解题。根据“A language needs to be used; otherwise it gets forgotten.”可知，语言用得很少就会死亡，故选B。
10．词义猜测题。根据“But about every fourteen days, one of these languages is no longer spoken and dies. Experts believe that by 2100, more than half of today's languages will extinct.”可知，约每十四天，其中一种语言就不再被使用并死亡，所以到2100年，今天一半以上的语言将消失。extinct和disappear意思一样，故选D。
11．细节理解题。根据“The reason it’s known as a secret language is because it’s only taught by a father to his son or a grandfather to his grandson.”可知，这种语言只由父亲教给儿子或祖父教给孙子。故选B。
12．细节理解题。根据“Cherokee people in North Carolina are trying to change that. They set up an elementary school to teach the Cherokee language and culture.”可知，他们通过建立学校来教这门语言，故选C。
（D）
There is great excitement and argument over Artificial Intelligence (AI). The argument about whether robots will replace teachers in the classroom is very heated. Some people think it is sure to happen in the next ten years. Others think that the value a good teacher brings, not only to the classroom setting, but in developing a child’s confidence and creativity outside lessons, cannot be easily replaced.
AI is not new for us and is already being used successfully in many fields, such as medicine, science and so on. So what does this mean for our future In my view, AI will help kids to think more freely and creatively. Can AI possibly cut down the teaching work in the future Of course. Our teachers are always busy preparing for their lessons. Just imagine how happy they will be if they don't have to correct hundreds of papers, but instead, have this task or others done by machines.
However, most importantly, I do not believe AI will be able to imitate the human mental condition totally, especially emotional intelligence (情商). What makes learning unforgettable is shared experience, human interaction, and long-lasting positive relationships. For example, experienced teachers can comfort a student if he has suffered a serious loss. But no research shows that robots can imitate this well.
I also believe we need to develop our kids’ personality and their ability not only to make decisions but also
make the right decision. To achieve this, relying only on AI is impossible.
In short, AI has both its advantages and disadvantages. To what degree can teachers use AI in their classes You can have all the information you want with the help of AI, but great teachers will also need to depend on their own feelings.
13．The writer starts the passage by ________.
A．telling a story B．comparing different views
C．pointing out his opinion D．giving some suggestions
14．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A．The successful usage of AI in many fields.
B．Teachers can help kids think more freely and creatively than AI.
C．AI helps teachers to correct hundreds of papers.
D．How helpful AI will be to both students and teachers.
15．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “imitate” in Paragraph 3
A．imagine B．produce C．control D．copy
16．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A．What can AI Bring Students in the Classroom
B．Will AI Replace Teachers in the Classroom
C．Is AI a Good Way to Help with Children's Learning
D．How do Teachers Use AI in Their Classroom Teaching
【答案】13．B 14．D 15．D 16．B
【解析】本文主要讲了对于人工智能是否可以取代老师的观点，作者提出了自己的看法。
13．推理判断题。根据短文开头“There is great excitement and argument over Artificial Intelligence (AI).”可知，关于人工智能有很大的争论，结合下面“Some people think it is sure to happen in the next ten years. Others think that the value a good teacher brings, not only to the classroom setting”可知，这是在提出两方的观点，所以文章是以比较观点的方式开始短文内容的。故选B。
14．主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“In my view, AI will help kids to think more freely and creatively. Can AI possibly cut down the teaching work in the future Of course. Our teachers are always busy preparing for their lessons.”可知，这是在讲工智能能帮助学生和老师，D项“人工智能对学生和老师都有很大帮助”符合文意。故选D。
15．词句猜测题。imagine假想；produce生产；control控制；copy复制。句意：然而，最重要的是，我不相信人工智能能够完全模仿人类的精神状况，特别是情商。根据下文，人工智能不能模仿教师安慰学生，可知imitate表示“模仿”。故选D。
16．主旨大意题。文章第一段就提出了本文的主旨“The argument about whether robots will replace teachers in the classroom is very heated.”可知本文对于人工智能是否可以取代老师的观点，作者提出了自己的看法。故选B。

Firefighters in Chongqing, a city in Southwest China, have put out an outbreak of major wildfires caused by extreme heatwaves in only nine days. They dealt with this by lighting a fire and linking it with the burning forest fire in 31 opposite direction. The two fires 32 (lead) to a sudden shortage of oxygen which effectively stopped the fire. On the night of August 25, forest fire teams from neighbouring Yunnan province decided to set a backfire with these two conditions. Firstly, a forest isolation (隔离) belt was set by large numbers of volunteers, 33 (clear) away any possible combustible (易燃的) materials for the ongoing wildfire. So when this fire came, nothing 34 (leave) to burn. Secondly, firefighters grabbed a perfect chance when the wind changed is direction. They followed the wind blowing from the north to the south and put out a new fire that flared (燃烧) up and ran into the wildfire.
The whole process took 3 hours and around midnight, the 35 (new) lit backfire cut off and put out the powerful fire. 36 this may sound simple, it required clever methods and a great amount of joint effort. With fifty professional firefighters at the front and 37 (thousand) of armed police and volunteers in the back, the

In November 1911, a team led by Robert Falcon Scott began the journey to Antarctica, hoping to be the first to get to the South Pole (南极). However, Scott and his partners all lost their lives on the way back. Several months after their deaths, people found Scott’s diaries that described the whole journey.
Monday January 15th, 1912 It is wonderful to think it is only 27 miles from the Pole. We should waste no time. Tuesday January 16th, 1912 The flag! The Norwegians have beaten us and arrived first at the Pole. It is a terrible disappointment, and I am very sorry for my loyal partners. Tomorrow we must march (行进) on to the Pole, and then go back home with all the speed we can manage. Wednesday January 17th, 1912 We finally arrived at the Pole. Yes, but under very different situations from those expected. We had a bad day with a strong headwind and a temperature of -22°, and my partners worked on with cold feet and hands. This is an awful and terrible place. Now for the journey home, I wonder if we can do it. Sunday January 28th, 1912 We are getting hungrier and pretty thin, but none of us are feeling tired. Though we have to carry heavy rocks, we have gone further than we expected. Friday March 16th, 1912 Titus Oates was in worse condition. He worried he would get us into more trouble and suggested we leave him behind. We wouldn’t accept that offer. Yesterday morning, there was a snowstorm. He said, “I am just going outside and it may take some time.” He went out and we have not seen him since then. We knew that he was walking to his death, and we tried to stop him. But deep down we knew it was the act of a brave man. Thursday March 29th, 1912 It’s the worst snowstorm I’ve ever seen. I do not think we can hope for any better things now. We shall stick it to the end, but we are getting weaker. It seems a pity, but I do not think I can write more.
Scott’s diaries are kept in the British Museum. The scientific data (资料) his team collected as well as the twenty kilos of rocks they carried all the way proved that at one time in the ancient past, Antarctica was covered by plants.

42．推理判断题。根据“We finally arrived at the Pole. Yes, but under very different situations from those expected. We had a bad day with a strong headwind and a temperature of -22°, and my partners worked on with cold feet and hands. This is an awful and terrible place.”我们终于到达了极地。是的，但情况与预期截然不同。我们度过了糟糕的一天，逆风强劲，气温零下 22 度，我的伙伴们手脚冰冷，继续工作。这是一个可怕而可怕的地方。所以推知他有点失望。故答Disappointed。
43．细节理解题。根据“We are getting hungrier and pretty thin”我们越来越饥饿，越来越瘦；“It’s the worst snowstorm I’ve ever seen.”这是我见过的最严重的暴风雪，可知饥饿和恶劣的暴风雪天气是他们主要面临的困难。故答They didn’t have enough food and they met terrible weather 。
44．开放型题目，合理即可。 The scientific data they collected has been important to Antarctica research. They lost their lives, but their spirit has helped followers do further research. Their journey has showed the true meaning of life is not about being the first but the courage to face difficulties.

第一节阅读下面语言材料,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
（A）
People in ancient China worked long hours each day. To relax, they invented many games. Here are some of them.
chuiwan (捶丸) Chuiwan was one of the ball games in ancient China, which was very popular in the Song Dynasty. “Chui” means hit” and “wan” means “ball”. This sport was similar to golf. On a large field, the players were divided into two groups. Usually there were 2 to 10 people in each group. Everyone had three chances to hit the ball into holes with a stick. Only when three hits into the hole were achieved did the player win the point.
cuju (蹴鞠) First recorded 2, 000 years ago, cuju is known as the earliest form of football. The ball was made of leather (皮革) on the outside and filled with rice bran (米糠) inside. As a fun and relaxing game, cuju was used in the army to train soldiers. Its rules were similar to the rules of football. Each team usually had 12 or 16 players. No hands were allowed. Only feet and head could be used. The ball should be hit into the opposite goal.
archery (射箭) In the Western Zhou Dynasty, archery was an important part of education for gentlemen. At the age of 15, they began learning archery. The most famous competition was Grand Archery. It was held by the emperor. The competitors bowed before shooting and drank together after it.
1．What sport was chuiwan similar to
A． B． C． D．
2．Why was cuju used in the army
A．To develop the sport. B．To choose talented soldiers.
C．To give soldiers some training. D．To build a professional team.
3．What do the three sports have in common
A．They are all from the West.
B．They all have a long history.
C．They are all sports for emperors.
D．They must be learned from an early age.
4．In which section of a website can we read this passage
A．Travel. B．Business. C．Culture. D．Life.
（B）
Travelling around the world can be exciting, but it can also be challenging and lead to culture shock and feelings of stress.
When I moved to Tuscany, Italy, right after college, I fell in love with the scenery. Who wouldn’t be The rolling hills, beautiful buildings and delicious food made the long flight worth every minute. I was excited about my new beginning. But then, I started to notice little things.
As an American, we are used to a bit of personal space. Where I’m from, knocking into someone or standing very closely is considered quite impolite. This is different from the truth in Italy.
Because there were no translation apps at that time, not knowing the language was also challenging. Sometimes, I would feel helpless. However, Italians like to speak with their hands—a habit I’ve carried over till this day. Gestures can express general ideas and feelings.
Of course, just because you’ve experienced culture shock in one country doesn’t mean you won’t do so in another.
Years later, when I moved to China, my experience was special. The culture there was something very foreign to me — down to how to buy things. Before moving there, I had never heard of WeChat or Alipay. I wasn’t prepared at all for how important these things would be.
Experiencing small waves of culture shock reminds me that I am travelling around the world and that I should appreciate what I’m taking in.
American-British writer Bill Bryson said that “…the greatest reward of travel is…to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar that it is taken for granted (被认为是理所当然的).”
5．What is the culture shock to the writer in Italy
A．Italians are hard to get on with. B．Italians stand quite closely to each other.
C．Italian scenery is not as beautiful as imagined. D．Italians are against learning foreign languages.
6．________ helped the writer understand what Italians were saying.
A．Translation apps B．Hand gestures C．Expressions D．Pictures
7．When arriving in China, the writer
A．began to buy many things online B．learned to speak Chinese
C．experienced culture shock again D．used WeChat and Alipay well
8．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us
A．How to deal with different cultures. B．The trouble of travelling around the world.
C．How to search for a best place to visit. D．The value of experiencing culture shock.
(C)
A language is a living thing. A language needs to be used; otherwise it gets forgotten. There are about 7,000 languages still in use in the world. But about every fourteen days, one of these languages is no longer spoken and dies. Experts believe that by 2100, more than half of today’s languages will extinct.
There are many reasons why a language starts to disappear. Often it’s because the need for the language disappears. Or because fewer people communicate with it.
In Bolivia, more than 30 languages are spoken today. One is a secret language called Kallawaya. The reason it’s known as a secret language is because it’s only taught by a father to his son or a grandfather to his grandson. Girls almost never learn to speak it. The Kallawaya people use their language for healing and in their family. They don’t really use it anywhere else. These days, there are only about twenty people who can speak Kallawaya. With each new generation, fewer males will speak the language and pass it on to their children. Kallawaya is disappearing because of cultural and social changes in people’s behavior.
The eastern group of the Cherokee Indian tribe (部落) lives in the state of North Carolina, the USA．Today, there are fewer than 200 fluent (流利的) speakers of Cherokee living in North Carolina. Cherokee people in North Carolina are trying to change that. They set up an elementary school to teach the Cherokee language and culture. Now, more children can speak Cherokee. Many people are trying to help their language grow. In fact, you can find smartphone apps and computer software (软件) in Cherokee.
9．Why will a language die
A．Because it is difficult to use.
B．Because fewer people use it.
C．Because it is too old to be alive.
D．Because it needs a change.
10．What does the underlined word “extinct” in Paragraph 1 mean
A．Benefit. B．Spread. C．Cooperate. D．Disappear.
11．Who traditionally teaches Kallawaya to the younger generation
A．Mothers. B．Adult males. C．Grandmothers. D．School teachers.
12．What are people doing to help the Cherokee language
A．Working hard to improve it.
B．Asking more people to speak it.
C．Setting up a school to teach it.
D．Giving away apps and software.
（D）
There is great excitement and argument over Artificial Intelligence (AI). The argument about whether robots will replace teachers in the classroom is very heated. Some people think it is sure to happen in the next ten years. Others think that the value a good teacher brings, not only to the classroom setting, but in developing a child’s confidence and creativity outside lessons, cannot be easily replaced.
AI is not new for us and is already being used successfully in many fields, such as medicine, science and so on. So what does this mean for our future In my view, AI will help kids to think more freely and creatively. Can AI possibly cut down the teaching work in the future Of course. Our teachers are always busy preparing for their lessons. Just imagine how happy they will be if they don't have to correct hundreds of papers, but instead, have this task or others done by machines.
However, most importantly, I do not believe AI will be able to imitate the human mental condition totally, especially emotional intelligence (情商). What makes learning unforgettable is shared experience, human interaction, and long-lasting positive relationships. For example, experienced teachers can comfort a student if he has suffered a serious loss. But no research shows that robots can imitate this well.
I also believe we need to develop our kids’ personality and their ability not only to make decisions but also make the right decision. To achieve this, relying only on AI is impossible.
In short, AI has both its advantages and disadvantages. To what degree can teachers use AI in their classes You can have all the information you want with the help of AI, but great teachers will also need to depend on their own feelings.
13．The writer starts the passage by ________.
A．telling a story B．comparing different views
C．pointing out his opinion D．giving some suggestions
14．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A．The successful usage of AI in many fields.
B．Teachers can help kids think more freely and creatively than AI.
C．AI helps teachers to correct hundreds of papers.
D．How helpful AI will be to both students and teachers.
15．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “imitate” in Paragraph 3
A．imagine B．produce C．control D．copy
16．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A．What can AI Bring Students in the Classroom
B．Will AI Replace Teachers in the Classroom
C．Is AI a Good Way to Help with Children's Learning
D．How do Teachers Use AI in Their Classroom Teaching

In November 1911, a team led by Robert Falcon Scott began the journey to Antarctica, hoping to be the first to get to the South Pole (南极). However, Scott and his partners all lost their lives on the way back. Several months after their deaths, people found Scott’s diaries that described the whole journey.
Monday January 15th, 1912 It is wonderful to think it is only 27 miles from the Pole. We should waste no time. Tuesday January 16th, 1912 The flag! The Norwegians have beaten us and arrived first at the Pole. It is a terrible disappointment, and I am very sorry for my loyal partners. Tomorrow we must march (行进) on to the Pole, and then go back home with all the speed we can manage. Wednesday January 17th, 1912 We finally arrived at the Pole. Yes, but under very different situations from those expected. We had a bad day with a strong headwind and a temperature of -22°, and my partners worked on with cold feet and hands. This is an awful and terrible place. Now for the journey home, I wonder if we can do it. Sunday January 28th, 1912 We are getting hungrier and pretty thin, but none of us are feeling tired. Though we have to carry heavy rocks, we have gone further than we expected. Friday March 16th, 1912 Titus Oates was in worse condition. He worried he would get us into more trouble and suggested we leave him behind. We wouldn’t accept that offer. Yesterday morning, there was a snowstorm. He said, “I am just going outside and it may take some time.” He went out and we have not seen him since then. We knew that he was walking to his death, and we tried to stop him. But deep down we knew it was the act of a brave man. Thursday March 29th, 1912 It’s the worst snowstorm I’ve ever seen. I do not think we can hope for any better things now. We shall stick it to the end, but we are getting weaker. It seems a pity, but I do not think I can write more.
Scott’s diaries are kept in the British Museum. The scientific data (资料) his team collected as well as the twenty kilos of rocks they carried all the way proved that at one time in the ancient past, Antarctica was covered by plants.
