I have been very lucky to make many trips to China. Though I have had some trouble with the language, I have never had a problem I couldn’t solve. As a native English speaker (土生土长的说英语的人)，I can go almost everywhere in the world and find someone to communicate with. I never thought that someone who speaks only Chinese would have a lot of trouble in my country.
Recently, the King family that I had met in China moved to Canada. I met them at the airport. My wife and I made meals for them and showed them around where we live. Everything seemed to go smoothly for the first two days as we looked for a car for them, showed them the way to different stores and the nearest city, Victoria. Mr. and Mrs King had a two-year-old son and soon we became Nainai (grandmother) and Yeye (grandfather). We were having a good time but we didn’t realize Mr. King can’t speak English.
Luckily, Mrs. King can speak very good English. Many people with Chinese background live near us. In fact, none of them speak Chinese. Mr. King can’t even buy a mobile phone without his wife’s help. He can’t talk to me, of course. By the third day, he felt lonely and worried. And on the fourth day, we decided to take them to a large Chinese community.
Now, we often visit them and they visit us too. Sometimes Mrs. King would still like to live near us but Mr. King cannot. I feel bad because he seems very nice and smart but I can’t talk with him. It seems that neither of us will learn the other’s language because of our ages, maybe we will never have a friendly conversation. But we will think of each other as friends.
49. The writer doesn’t have any trouble in travelling around the world possibly because ____.
A. he’s very lucky B. he speaks only English
C. he’s good at speaking Chinese D. he is good at communicating with others
50. How did the two families feel on the first two days
A. Sad B. Happy. C. Worried D. Lonely.
51. Who can’t speak English in this passage
A. Mr. King B. Mrs. King C. The writer D. The writer’s wife
C
The size and shape of your ears show your character more than any other part of the face. Other parts of the face change shapes as we get older, but ears do not change their shapes. They only change in size.
Reading people's character from their ears is a very old science. In very old times people thought that a person with big ears had a good and generous character. They thought that a person with pale (nearly white), small ears was dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ears showed whether a person was musical or not. Today, too, many people believe that the size and the shape of the ear help you know if a person is musical.
Ears are all different, and each characteristic has a meaning. Next time when you look at a person, see if his or her ears are large or small. Look at the lobes (the lower part of the ear). Are they attached (连着) to the face Ears that are always red mean that a person may get angry suddenly. Ears that are always cold and pale mean that a person has a nervous (神经质) character. And a big inside hole (耳蜗) of the ear means a person is musical.
52.In the old times people might ask for help from a person with____.
A.red ears B.big ears C.small ears D.pale ears
53.The passage is mainly about____.
A.the size of our ears B.musical ears C.ears and characters D.our faces and ears
54.From the passage, we know____ don't change shape as we get older.
A.ears B.hair C.eyes D.teeth
55.We can guess Beethoven (贝多芬) may have____.
A.pale ears B.white ears C.small ears D.ears with a big inside hole
56.If you are often late for school, you may find the ears of your teacher____.
A.get bigger B.get smaller C.get colder D.get redder
D
I wanted to go and look at a place in the middle of the island that I had found when I was exploring. We started and soon got to it, because the island was only three miles long and a quarter of a mile wide.
This place was a hill about forty feet high. We had a hard time getting to the top. The sides were so steep and the trees were so thick. We walked and climbed around all over it, and found a big hole in the rock. It was a good place to play our game. The hole was as big as two or three rooms, and Jim could stand up straight in it. It was cool there. Jim wanted to put our things there, but I said we didn’t want to be climbing up and down there all the time. Jim said if we had the boat hidden in a good place and put all the things in the hole, we could rush there when anybody was to come to the island. They would never find us without dogs.
Besides, he said that little birds had said it was going to rain. We didn’t want the things to get wet.
So we went back and got the boat, and pulled all the things up there. Then we found a place close by to hide the boat in, among the thick willows. We took some fish off the lines and set them again, and began to get ready for dinner.
The door of the hole was big enough to roll a hogshead (大桶) in, and there was also a good place to build a fire. So we built a fire and cooked dinner. We spread the blankets inside, and ate our dinner. We put all the other things at the back of the hole.
Pretty soon it darkened and began to thunder. Directly it began to rain, and I never saw the wind blow so heavily. It was one of these regular summer storms. It would get so dark that it looked all blue-black outside.
“Jim, this is nice,” I said. “I wouldn’t want to be nowhere else but here. Pass me another piece of fish and some hot bread.”
“Well, if it weren’t for Jim, you wouldn’t stay here. You would stay in the woods, without food, and you would get half-dead from the shower. That’s true, dear. The chickens know when it rains, and so do the birds. I know.”
—Adapt from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
57. The kids went to the island to .
A. play a game B. take a trip C. build a house D. have a holiday
58. What did Jim suggest doing
A. Finding a hole. B. Going to the hole.
C. Leaving the lonely island. D. Stopping others reaching the island.
59. The RIGHT order of the story is .
a. They went back and got the boat.
b. They took some fish off the lines.
c. Jim could stand up straight in the hole.
d. They began to get ready for their dinner.
e. They walked and climbed around all over the hill.
A. a-d-b-e-c B. d-b-a-e-c C. e-c-a-b-d D. b-a-d-c-e

A. In spring. B. In summer. C. In autumn. D. In winter

Question:
In ancient China, willow branches (柳树枝) were often used as a parting gift between friends and family members. 61.
Answer:
One reason is that willow trees are strong. 62. Because of this unique (独特的) feature, giving a willow branch to say goodbye to loved ones is a way to tell them you hope they will easily adapt to their new living environment.
Meanwhile, in Mandarin, the pronunciation for the willow tree “liu (柳)” is similar to the character “liu (留)”, which means asking someone to stay — only the tones (声调) are different. 63. Even though we know that they must leave, we still do like that.
64. At that time, Baqiao, a bridge in Chang’an, today’s Xi’an, was a common place to say goodbye. People often stopped there and handed willow branches to departing (离开的) people.
65. In The Book of Poetry, there is the line “When I left there, willows shed tears.” At the time of the Tang and Song dynasties, such poems were common as traveling was easy and poets felt the sorrow of separation. For example, Wang Wei wrote “The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green.” in his famous poem A Fond Farewell to a Friend.
A. They can survive in any soil, wet or dry, north or south. B. When the willow leaves become dark green, spring is gone. C. It’s said that this custom became popular during the Han Dynasty. D. Do you know why willow branches are a symbol of farewell (告别) E. So offering a willow branch is like asking the other party to stay. F. Willow branches, as a symbol of farewell, are often mentioned in poems.

Shang kings, especially, believed in the power of their ancestors (祖先). They always wanted to ask their ancestors questions about crops, the weather, wars and the ruling family. They used oracle bones (甲骨) to get answers to their questions.
First, the king would ask a question: “Will the weather be sunny tomorrow ” The priest (牧师) wrote the king’s question on an oracle bone, which was just a turtle or other animal bone. Then, the priest heated a metal stick. Once heated, the stick was held against the bone. The heat caused a series of small cracks (裂缝) to appear on the surface of the bone. Those cracks formed a picture. Then a special oracle reader, usually a woman, would read the cracks, and provide the king with an answer to his question.
Archaeologists (考古学家) have found thousands of oracle bones, each with a question on it. The questions on these oracle bones have told archaeologists a great deal about daily life during the Shang Dynasty. The thing is, the questions did not actually say “Will it be sunny tomorrow ” What the question actually said was something like this, “If I sacrifice (牺牲) 8 men or 3 oxen, will it be sunny tomorrow ”
A great many people and animals were sacrificed during Shang times so that Shang kings and queens could ask their ancestors questions. The people they sacrificed might be slaves, or people who were sick, or people caught in war, or someone who made the rich unhappy, or a rich man who made the king angry. No one was safe. The only thing that was important to the Shang kings and queens was getting an answer to their question.
66. What did the Shang kings believe in __________________________________________
67. Where did the priest write the king’s question __________________________________________
68. Who would read the cracks and provide an answer _____________________________________
69. How many oracle bones have been found __________________________________________
70. Why did Shang kings and queens sacrifice many people and animals _______________________

九、书面表达
Everyone can be a winner
A winner’s attitude：it may be difficult but it is possible. Let me share my story.
I used to have great difficulty with spoken English. I was shy and afraid of speaking in front of others. But I made up my mind to overcome it. I joined an English club. There, I had a lot of chances to communicate with foreigners in English. My English teacher also influenced me a lot. She always encouraged me to be brave and not to be afraid of making mistakes while speaking English.
Gradually, my spoken English improved. Through this experience, I have learned that nothing is impossible if you keep practicing. Everyone may face difficulties, but as long as we keep trying and find the right ways to deal with them, we can all become winners.
