There are many stories which show filial (孝顺的) respect in ancient China. They not only tell us the filial virtue (美德) but also remind us of the greatest love we get from our parents.
The selfless love from a mother is also a popular topic in poetry, like the poem Song of the Parting Son. It is written by Meng Jiao, a poet of the Tang dynasty.
From the threads a mother’s hand weaves,
A gown for parting son is made.
Sewn stitch by stitch before he leaves,
For fear his return be delayed.
Such kindness as young grass receives,
From the warm sun can’t be repaid.
(Translated by Xu Yuanchong)
The poem shows a situation from everyday life：A mother sewing (缝) clothes for her son. Here Meng uses two everyday things, the thread (线) and the needle (针), to compare the close relationship between mother and son. They are always connected to each other. When the son is traveling far away, the mother is afraid that his return will be delayed (推迟). So she carefully sews the clothes. In the last two lines, the poet uses a metaphor (暗喻). He compares mothers to the warm sun in spring while children are like grass. It is hard for a child’s love to equal that of a mother’s.
Although this poem is about a mother’s selfless love for her son, we hope you enjoy the deep feeling behind the lines. Whatever changes take place in society (社会) and life, love from parents will never change. So always remember to show filial respect to your parents for their selfless love and make efforts to improve virtue in our families.

( )20．What relationship is described in the poem
A．Husband and wife. B．Mother and son.
C．Teacher and student. D．Father and son.
( )21．Which of the following sentences can be used to show the meaning of the poem

C．East or west, home is the best. D．Mothers never stop worrying.
( )22．What’s the main purpose of the passage
A．To remind us to show respect to parents.
B．To show mother’s love helps us grow healthily.
C．To introduce a famous poem.
D．To tell us to learn poetry well.

African elephants are the largest land animals on Earth. They are a little larger than their Asian cousins and you can tell from their larger ears that they are African elephants. Africa is quite a hot place. Animals always have their own ways to keep cool. The ears of elephants are like fans and they can help keep these large animals cool, but sometimes the African heat is too much. Therefore elephants also do other activities to keep themselves cooler. For example, elephants are fond of water and enjoy showering by sucking water into their trunks and spraying it all over themselves.
An elephant’s trunk is a long nose which is used for smelling, breathing, drinking, and also for grabbing (抓取) things. African elephants have two features (特征), which are like fingers on the end of their trunk. So the elephants can use them to grab small things.
Elephants eat roots, grasses and fruit. An adult elephant can eat up to 300 pounds (136 kilograms) of food in a single day. These hungry animals do not sleep much, and they walk great distances when they look for the large quantities of food that they need to keep up their large bodies.
It is difficult to survive (存活) for elephants. Because some people like ivory (象牙), many elephants are killed. For keeping elephants from being killed, we need to avoid buying ivories.
( )23．How can we tell an African elephant from an Asian elephant We can tell by its________.
A．trunk B．body C．ears D．ivory
( )24．How do the elephants get cool according to the text
A．Use the ears to cover their heads.
B．Drink too much water.
C．Suck water into trunks and spray it over their bodies.
D．Swim in the rivers or ponds.
( )25．How does an elephant grab small things
A．To use their foot to step on the large things into small ones.
B．To use their body to scrunch (压) the large things into small ones.
C．To use their two features on the end of their trunk.
D．To use their two large ears.

第二节 任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
Everyone has got two personalities (性格)—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is real you. When you’re asleep, your sleeping position (睡姿) shows the real you.
If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You usually trust people and other people’s new ideas easily get into your mind. You don’t like to make people unhappy, so you often keep what your real think inside. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive (不坦率的) person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you think your life is quite satisfying. You usually care about today not tomorrow.
If you sleep on curled up (蜷缩), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and are often afraid of being hurt, so you are very defensive (警觉的). You’re shy and you don’t usually like meeting people.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried, but you don’t often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry.
Sleeping positions show people’s secret personalities
Different sleeping positions go to sleep on back > open; shy; unconfident > easily accept new ideas > don’t show real opinions 31
sleep on stomach > secretive; worried > don’t like to change ideas > 32 life and live for today not for tomorrow
sleep on curled up > nervous; shy; defensive > be afraid of being hurt > like to be 33 .
sleep on side > balanced personality; careful; confident > 34 one’s feelings well > 35 their feeling
【答案】31．directly 32．satisfy 33．alone 34．keep 35．express

There are many stories which show filial (孝顺的) respect in ancient China. They not only tell us the filial virtue (美德) but also remind us of the greatest love we get from our parents.
The selfless love from a mother is also a popular topic in poetry, like the poem Song of the Parting Son. It is written by Meng Jiao, a poet of the Tang dynasty.
From the threads a mother’s hand weaves,
A gown for parting son is made.
Sewn stitch by stitch before he leaves,
For fear his return be delayed.
Such kindness as young grass receives,
From the warm sun can’t be repaid.
(Translated by Xu Yuanchong)
The poem shows a situation from everyday life：A mother sewing (缝) clothes for her son. Here Meng uses two everyday things, the thread (线) and the needle (针), to compare the close relationship between mother and son. They are always connected to each other. When the son is traveling far away, the mother is afraid that his return will be delayed (推迟). So she carefully sews the clothes. In the last two lines, the poet uses a metaphor (暗喻). He compares mothers to the warm sun in spring while children are like grass. It is hard for a child’s love to equal that of a mother’s.
Although this poem is about a mother’s selfless love for her son, we hope you enjoy the deep feeling behind the lines. Whatever changes take place in society (社会) and life, love from parents will never change. So always remember to show filial respect to your parents for their selfless love and make efforts to improve virtue in our families.
( )19．The poem Song of the Parting Son mentioned in this passage may be ______.
A．《春夜喜雨》 B．《回乡偶书》 C．《游子吟》 D．《春晓》
( )20．What relationship is described in the poem
A．Husband and wife. B．Mother and son.
C．Teacher and student. D．Father and son.
( )21．Which of the following sentences can be used to show the meaning of the poem
A．Like father, like son. B．Where there is a will, there is a way.
C．East or west, home is the best. D．Mothers never stop worrying.

A．To remind us to show respect to parents.
B．To show mother’s love helps us grow healthily.
C．To introduce a famous poem.
D．To tell us to learn poetry well.

African elephants are the largest land animals on Earth. They are a little larger than their Asian cousins and you can tell from their larger ears that they are African elephants. Africa is quite a hot place. Animals always have their own ways to keep cool. The ears of elephants are like fans and they can help keep these large animals cool, but sometimes the African heat is too much. Therefore elephants also do other activities to keep themselves cooler. For example, elephants are fond of water and enjoy showering by sucking water into their trunks and spraying it all over themselves.
An elephant’s trunk is a long nose which is used for smelling, breathing, drinking, and also for grabbing (抓取) things. African elephants have two features (特征), which are like fingers on the end of their trunk. So the elephants can use them to grab small things.
Elephants eat roots, grasses and fruit. An adult elephant can eat up to 300 pounds (136 kilograms) of food in a single day. These hungry animals do not sleep much, and they walk great distances when they look for the large quantities of food that they need to keep up their large bodies.
It is difficult to survive (存活) for elephants. Because some people like ivory (象牙), many elephants are killed. For keeping elephants from being killed, we need to avoid buying ivories.
( )23．How can we tell an African elephant from an Asian elephant We can tell by its________.
A．trunk B．body C．ears D．ivory
( )24．How do the elephants get cool according to the text
A．Use the ears to cover their heads.
B．Drink too much water.
C．Suck water into trunks and spray it over their bodies.
D．Swim in the rivers or ponds.
( )25．How does an elephant grab small things
A．To use their foot to step on the large things into small ones.
B．To use their body to scrunch (压) the large things into small ones.
C．To use their two features on the end of their trunk.
D．To use their two large ears.
( )26．Why do people kill elephants
A．For their body. B．For their trunks. C．For their ears. D．For their ivory.

Everyone that lives in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou etc, knows that there is a lot of traffic! Wherever you go, you can see the crowded streets with cars, buses, bikes and people. It seems that everyone is always in a hurry! In such a situation, accidents might happen. But if we all slowed down a little and paid more attention to the traffic rules, accidents would be avoided (避免). However, sometimes the fact isn’t like that!
How many times have you tried to cross the street even when the light has become red It seems as if it would be so easy to just quickly run across, or rush in between cars and buses. But this causes a dangerous problem. Crossing the street when the light is red will only save you a few seconds. It is not worth risking (使……冒风险) your life.
When I was growing up, my mother always told me the two sayings “better safe than sorry” and “better late than never”. That’s to say, it is always better to be careful and arrive safely at the place where you hope to go. Things would not be much worse if everyone would wait their turn to cross the street.
( )27．We can often see ________ in big cities.

第二节 任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
Everyone has got two personalities (性格)—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is real you. When you’re asleep, your sleeping position (睡姿) shows the real you.
If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You usually trust people and other people’s new ideas easily get into your mind. You don’t like to make people unhappy, so you often keep what your real think inside. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive (不坦率的) person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you think your life is quite satisfying. You usually care about today not tomorrow.
If you sleep on curled up (蜷缩), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and are often afraid of being hurt, so you are very defensive (警觉的). You’re shy and you don’t usually like meeting people.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried, but you don’t often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry.
Sleeping positions show people’s secret personalities
Different sleeping positions go to sleep on back > open; shy; unconfident > easily accept new ideas > don’t show real opinions 31
sleep on stomach > secretive; worried > don’t like to change ideas > 32 life and live for today not for tomorrow
sleep on curled up > nervous; shy; defensive > be afraid of being hurt > like to be 33 .
sleep on side > balanced personality; careful; confident > 34 one’s feelings well > 35 their feeling
