From the first day that men began to study numbers in daily life, some numbers have been thought to be lucky, while others are considered unlucky. And it’s not just Western culture that has done this. Cultures in Japan, China, India, and Africa have done the same thing, but for different reasons. Let’s take a look at some commonly known lucky and unlucky numbers to see why they are loved or hated.
7
Everyone knows that “7” is lucky. But 45 The root of most lucky numbers can be found in religion. God, for example, is said to have created the world in 7 days. Until the 1800s, there were seven known planets in the solar system (太阳系). Seven is even the usual number of spots on a ladybug (瓢虫) and ladybugs are considered good luck themselves.
4
This number means bad luck in Asia. For example, the pronunciation of “4” in Chinese is very similar to the word “ 46 .” And because of this, “4” has been considered bad luck in China.
666
“666” is a/an 47 number. It is extremely bad luck in Western culture but very good luck in many Asian countries.
According to the Christian Bible (圣经), the number 666 means Satan (撒旦，魔鬼). It might be the most avoided number in Western culture.
But in Asia, people love “666” because it 48 “things going smoothly,” and is considered to be very lucky.
2
Not like western countries, in many Asian countries, “2” is good luck. It is thought that good things come in pairs, which is a phrase that 49 appears in Western culture.
8
Maybe no people in the world likes the number “8” better than the Chinese. A recent report said that the phone number 8888-8888 was sold for over $200,000 in 50 .
45. A. when B. how C. why D. where
46. A. happiness B. death C. luck D. sadness
47. A. different B. boring C. difficult D. interesting
48. A. sounds like B. looks like C. feels like D. seems like
49. A. never B. still C. even D. only
50. A. America B. China C. Japan D. Africa
C. Fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词，首字母已给)(14分)
The anti-bullying film Better Days deepened my understanding of school bullying (校园霸凌) . I used to think school bullying was far from us, but that is not the case. We are seeing an i 51 in school bullying all over the world. These unfortunate incidents are causing harm to many young people.
Many teenagers suffer from school bullying. The reason why we don’t know about their suffering is that many of them don’t dare to speak out about their experiences. Some do speak out, but no one around them is willing to help them got t 52 their tough days. The effect of school bullying on the victim can last a lifetime. It’s time we did something about this problem.
Another reason is that social media makes it much e 53 to be a bully. Bullies today don't have to face the person they’re bullying. They can just post a hurtful comment or an embarrassing photo on Weibo or in a WeChat group chat. Everyone in the class, or even the whole school, will see it. Some may even join in with their own unkind comments to “mob (围攻) ” the victim.
The bully and the “mob” may think it’s fun. However, their actions can d 54 the life of the victim. They can cause depression and anxiety (焦虑). This shouldn’t happen and it doesn’t have to happen. And you can actually stop it.
If you see someone being bullied in your school, or anywhere. don’t be q 55 . Don’t just say to yourself. “It’s not my problem.” If you’re too shy to face the bully yourself, then you should at least be brave enough to report the incident to a teacher as soon as possible. And you should also be willing to stand up for the victim even when others do not.
Last but not least, we should try our best to p 56 school bullying from happening. Perhaps schools can pay more a 57 to students’ mental health since scientists have found bullies are nearly twice as likely to have mental health problems.
I’d like to call on all schools and families to sit up and take notice of school bullying. I sincerely hope all students can have a happy school life.
D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题) (12 分)
One of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had was in Morocco. It was a trip to the desert. We set off from Marrakesh at 7 a. m. in a minibus and headed southeast. The countryside on the way was very unusual, with dry gray cliffs (悬崖). Below them in the canyons were lots of green palm trees. When we got to the Atlas Mountains, we ran into a snowstorm, and it got very cold in the bus.
It’s incredible to think that the hot desert was so near.
After traveling for two days, we finally got to Merzuga, a tiny town on the edge of the Sahara Desert. We left our stuff in a hostel and drove to the place from which the caravans (宿营拖车) departed. Before sunset, we boarded our camels and rode into the desert over the dunes (沙丘). The dunes were amazing — they changed color depending on the angle of the sun. The ride lasted about two hours. When we reached the camp, it was dark and cold, and I was starving. We sat in the camp and waited for dinner. Several hours later, they brought a lamb dish, which five of us shared from a plate, eating with our hands.
After dinner, everyone went to sleep in tents, except me. I’ve always wanted to have the experience of sleeping in the desert, under the stars. But I didn’t realize it could get so cold at night. So I took the same blanket that I used to ride the camel and wrapped myself in it to keep warm. During the day, the temperatures can reach 50℃, but at night, they fall to 4℃. The dunes looked like snow, and the clear sky covered with stars was an amazing sight. No wonder the Moors (摩尔人) were such great astronomers. They had a planetarium above them to observe every night.
Suddenly, I saw a shooting star, and I made a wish: _________________________.
58. How long did the author spend getting to the edge of the Sahara Desert
59. How did the group of people go into the desert
60. All of the group of people went to sleep in tents after dinner, didn’t they
61. What was the weather like in the desert
62. How did the author keep warm when he was looking at the stars
63. What wish did the author probably make when he saw a shooting star
