Sichuan Province is located in the south-western part of China，which is home to many world-famous places of interest．One of my family trips to Jiuzhaigou，a nature reserve in the north of Sichuan，still remains fresh in my memory．
Stepping onto the magical land，I was totally stunned by its multi-level waterfalls and lakes of amazing colors: crystal clear，blue green and dark green．Creatures were living in harmony with nature here．As we walked deeper，we even saw rare animals like giant pandas and golden monkeys．
All in all，a trip to Sichuan is highly recommended and it is a place well worth visiting a second time．

She stood by the window，joyfully and patiently watching．
Golden sunlight danced in her long hair and the children's laughter floated in the air．She stared at the end of the road，hoping her close friend would come earlier．It seemed as if she had been standing there for a century．
她站在窗边，快乐且耐心地看着。金色的阳光在她的长发上舞动，孩子们的笑声在空气中飘荡。她盯着路的尽头，希望她的好朋友能早点来。似乎她已经站在那里一个世纪了。

Five Ancient Chinese Poems About Spring
As the winter chill still lingers through early spring longing for warm days has sprung up everywhere．Before the flowers are in full blossom here is a collection of ancient Chinese poems picturing the revival of life during spring．The English translations used in this article are from Chinese translator Xu Yuanchong．
Spring Morning —by Meng Haoran(689—740) of the Tang Dynasty (618—907)
This spring morning in bed I'm lying．
Not to awake till birds are crying．
After one night of wind and showers．
How many are the fallen flowers!
Written in a Village South of the Capital — by Cui Hu (772—846) of the Tang Dynasty
In this house on this day last year a pink face vied．
In beauty with the pink peach blossoms side by side．
I do not know today where the pink face has gone．
In the vernal breeze still smile pink peach blossoms full-blown．
Happy Rain on a Spring Night(Excerpts) — by Du Fu (712—770) of the Tang Dynasty
Good rain knows its time right．
It will fall when comes spring．
With wind it steals in night，Mute，it moistens each thing．
Dreaming of the Southern Shore — by Bai Juyi (772—846) of the Tang Dynasty
Fair Southern shore．
With scenes I much adore．
At sunrise riverside flowers redder than fire．
In spring green waves grow as blue as sapphire．
Which I can't but admire．
Love Seeds — by Wang Wei (701 —761) of the Tang Dynasty
Red berries grow in the southern land．
How many load in spring the trees
Gather them till full is your hand．
They would revive fond memories．

With the Forbidden City and Jingshan Park to its east，Zhongnanhai to its south，Beihai Park，also known as Northern Sea Park，is one of the oldest，largest and best-preserved ancient imperial gardens in China located in the center of Beijing．
Beihai Park is said to be built according to a traditional Chinese legend．The story is that once upon a time there were three magic mountains called “Penglai”，“Yingzhou”and “Fangzhang”．
Gods in those mountains had a kind of medicine which would help humans gain immortality．Consequently，many emperors constantly sought those mountains．For example，Emperor Qin Shihuang had sent people to look for the magic mountains but they failed．Emperor Wudi，the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty did similar things．
It was believed that different mountain-water combinations in ancient Chinese architecture led to totally different effects．So from then on，almost every emperor during the succeeding dynasties would build a royal garden with one-pool-with-three-hill layout near his palace．Beihai Park was surely built after this traditional style: the water of Beihai with Zhongnanhai is the Taiye Pool; the Jade Flowery Islet，the island of the Circular City and the Xishantai Island represent the three magic mountains．
Actually，Beihai Park was initially built in the Liao Dynasty (916—1125) and was repaired and rebuilt in the following dynasties including Jin，Yuan，Ming and Qing．The large-scale rebuilding in the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty (1644—1911) generally established the present scale and pattern．In 1925，it was first opened to the public，attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over the world every year．
It is enjoyable to walk around the various scenic areas in Beihai Park．There are many places to visit，including the Bai Ta，Five-Dragon Pavilions，Nine-Dragon Wall，Yong'an Temple and so on．There is also a classy restaurant called Fangshan Restaurant where the Empress Cixi once dined．

“Want fries with that？”You might be asked this question when ordering food in a restaurant．A nutritionist can help you with the answer．
Ellie Krieger is a nationally known nutritionist．Her job is to teach people how to make healthy food choices．She believes healthy eating can manage disease and promote overall good health．With her cookbooks，television programs，and podcast，Krieger also teaches people how to follow recipes and prepare delicious food．
A healthy approach includes having fun in the kitchen．“I get to ‘play’with my food when I'm testing and making a recipe，”
Krieger says．“It's part of my job，and it never gets old．”She tries to impart this sense of fun to her TV and podcast audiences．“It's a great feeling to know my work is helping people live healthier lives，”she says．“I feel like I am making a difference in the world．”
A nutritionist's work goes beyond affecting individuals．It can shape public health，by changing the way society views food，health，and nutrition．Nutritionists like Krieger teach people how to read menus and food labels，and how food is grown and finds its way to the plate．Nutritionists do this work in schools，hospitals，and long-term care facilities．
For Krieger，food is a way to learn about other people and understand different cultures．This is an idea she imparts to kids and parents．“The school cafeteria is a classroom，”she says，“and so is the family dinner table．”
It was because of the commitment to family nutrition that Krieger made an effort to address the problem of childhood obesity．She's been part of the School Nutrition Association，and has proved before the House Committee on Agriculture about nutrition and the childhood-obesity epidemic．She even helped plan the lunch menu at her daughter's public school，in New York City．
Krieger's career shows how a nutritionist's work can go beyond the hospital or the doctor's office．“We work in all different fields，”she says．“We work in the media，in schools，at markets，with sports teams，in restaurants，in private practices，in government organizations，at food companies，and more！”

Think back to when you were in a maths classroom，and the teacher set a difficult problem．Which of the two following responses is closer to the way you reacted
A：Oh no，this is too hard for me．I'm not even going to seriously try and work it out．
B：Ah，this is quite tricky，but I like to push myself．Even if I don't get the answer right，maybe I'll learn something in the attempt．
Early in her career，the psychologist Carol Dweck of Stanford University gave a group of ten-year-olds problems that were slightly too hard for them．One group reacted positively and loved the challenge．She says they had a “growth mindset”and are focused on what they can achieve in the future．But another group of children felt that their intelligence was being judged and they had failed．They had a “fixed mindset”and were unable to imagine improving．Some of them looked for someone who had done worse than them to boost their self-esteem．
Professor Dweck believes that there is a problem in education at the moment．For years，children have been praised for their intelligence or talent，but this makes them vulnerable (脆弱的) to failure．They become performance-oriented，wanting to please by getting high grades，but they are not interested in learning for its own sake．The solution，according to Dweck，is to lead them to become mastery-oriented (i．e．，interested in getting better at something)．She claims that the ever-lasting effort over time is the key to outstanding achievement．
Psychologists have been testing these theories．Underperforming school children on a Native American reservation were exposed to growth mindset techniques for a year．The results were nothing less than incredible．They came top in regional tests，beating children from much more privileged backgrounds．Thess children had previously felt that making an effort was a sign of stupidity，but they came to see it as the key to learning．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章通过举例“对同一个问题的不同反应”来引出主题——成长心态和固定心态。引用了心理学家们的理论和实验结果来对成长心态和固定心态进行区别，并且侧重了成长心态的重要性。
12．What can we learn about a person if his answer is closer to “B”？
A．He is performance-oriented．
B．He tends to set limits to his life．
C．He enjoys the process and focuses on the future．
D．He boosts his self-esteem by comparing with others．
C [推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，B答案的同学会积极地面对问题，并且尝试从中学习到一些东西，这是一种积极的反应；结合第四段内容可知，对于困难的问题能做出积极反应的孩子会享受这个过程，关注未来。所以一个人的答案接近B答案的话，那么他会享受这个过程，关注未来。故选C。]
√
13．Which of the following suggestions will Professor Dweck give to parents and teachers
A．To reward children for their high grades．
B．To emphasize the importance of intelligence．
C．To ignore the result brought by failure．
D．To praise children for their engagement in the process．
D [推理判断题。根据倒数第二段内容可知，Dweck教授认为掌握一件事是非常重要的，并且要长期坚持不懈地努力，由此可推知，她给到父母和老师的建议是表扬孩子们在这个过程中的参与。故选D。]
√
14．What does “These children”in the last paragraph refer to
A．Children showing no interest in learning．
B．Children who use fixed mindset techniques．
C．Children from much more privileged backgrounds．
D．Underperforming school children on a Native American reservation．
D [代词指代题。根据最后一段可知，他们测试的对象是这些“underperforming school children on a Native American reservation，”由此可知此处的these children指的是“美国印第安人保留地的表现不佳的学生”。故选D。]
√
15．Why does the author write the text
A．To distinguish growth mindset and fixed mindset．
B．To inform readers of the importance of growth mindset．
C．To show several psychological study results．
D．To point out a problem in education at the moment．

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者游览西安长城的过程。
36．was built [考查动词的时态语态。句意：它最初是为了保护唐代的城市而建造的，现在已经完全修复了。build和主语it之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，根据时间状语the Tang Dynasty可知，应用一般过去时。故填was built。]
37．in/during [考查介词。句意：它最初是为了保护唐代的城市而建造的，现在已经完全修复了。表示“在某个朝代”，应用介词in或during。故填in/during。]
38．to walk [考查非谓语动词。句意：骑行或者走完全程的14公里是可能的。固定句型It ＋be＋adj．＋to do sth．，it为形式主语，不定式短语作真正的主语。故填to walk。]
39．spending [考查非谓语动词。句意：在花了一些时间查看了城墙上所有的防御设备之后，我们决定是时候采取一些行动了，还有什么比在历史上骑行更好的呢。此处After为介词，应用动词-ing形式，作介词宾语。故填spending。]
40．better [考查形容词比较级。句意：在花了一些时间查看了城墙上所有的防御设备之后，我们决定是时候采取一些行动了，还有什么比在历史上骑行更好的呢。根据后文than可知，此处应用形容词good的比较级better。故填better。]
41．hired [考查动词时态。句意：我们从南门的租赁处租了自行车。根据语境可知，此处描述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。故填hired。]
42．but [考查连词。句意：我的自行车又旧又摇摇晃晃，但还可以骑。后文did the job和前文My bike was old and shaky之间存在转折关系，应用转折连词but。故填but。]
43．the [考查冠词。句意：我们绕着西安城墙一路走了大约3个小时。固定短语all the way“一直，完全地”。故填the。]
44．watchtowers [考查名词复数。句意：据说你可以在两个小时内完成，但我们在不同的大门和瞭望台停下来拍照，或者只是看当地人进行他们的日常生活。watchtower是可数名词，由different修饰，应用复数形式。故填watchtowers。]
45．daily [考查形容词。句意：据说你可以在两个小时内完成，但我们在不同的大门和瞭望台停下来拍照，或者只是看当地人进行他们的日常生活。修饰后文名词routines，应用形容词daily，作定语。故填daily。]

Dear Peter，
Long time no see! In your last letter，you showed great interest in Chinese traditional festivals．Now I am writing to share with you the celebration of Lantern Festival held in our school last Sunday．
On Sunday evening，after we finished the tangyuan prepared for us in the school restaurant，I walked around the school campus with other students to enjoy the various lanterns made by the students．Besides，many students gathered under the lanterns to do word puzzles．What
impressed me most was the dragon and lion dance performance on the playground，which made me unwilling to leave for a long time．
This activity not only enriched our after-school life，but also gave us a good chance to understand traditional Chinese festivals．
Hope you will come to China next year and we celebrate the Lantern Festival together．
Yours，
Lily
第二节
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was exam time at Marc's school．Every day，their teachers gave them loads of homework and told them the test was very important and that they ought to spare no effort to perform well in it．Everyone followed the teachers'instructions and made preparations for it，except Marc．He just turned a deaf ear to it．He thought he would rather play football than study．
His mum and dad repeated the importance of revision for exams over and over again．They told him that he should be working hard preparing for the test．But the weather was sunny and he thought he had better things to do．
“Shall we go to the park？”he said to his friend Huck one afternoon．“It's a nice day．We could play football and kick around．”
Huck shook his head．“I'm supposed to review my lessons，”he said．“I'm going home to do some math．”
Marc was amazed．“You'd rather do math than play football？”
“Math is important．Besides，my mum says she will buy me a mountain bike if I do well in the math exam．”
“That's crazy，”said Marc．Huck shrugged and replied，“Wait until I beat you in the test and you will watch me riding past on my mountain bike！”
“You won't beat me，”said Marc．
“Oh yes，I will．”
“Oh no，you won't! That will never happen．Just wait and see！”
For the first time ever，Marc wanted to perform well．He couldn't bear it if his friend came top and he did badly．So when he got home，he opened his math book．But there was so much to do．All of a sudden，he felt like he'd forgotten everything he had learned that year! He didn't know where to start．When his sister Lily came in，he was sitting expressionlessly by the desk，just staring out of the window．
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
“You don't look happy，Marc．What's wrong？”she said．_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On the day of the exam，Marc went to school with great confidence．____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
[参考范文]
“You don't look happy，Marc．What's wrong？”she said．
Explaining what had happened，especially the bet between him and Huck，he told Lily his decision．He wanted to make careful preparations for the exam，but ran into difficulties with math．He was at a loss what to do next．“Don't worry! I'll help you．Just be confident！”replied Lily．The following days，Marc worked very hard and made great progress．Gradually，his confidence grew and he could solve math problems with ease，with the instructions appearing in his brain as if the teacher was standing at his side．
On the day of the exam，Marc went to school with great confidence．He met Huck in the classroom，who looked delighted as if he was bound to win．But Marc didn't care．When the exam began，Marc answered all the questions as best as he could．Several days later，the result came out．It turned out that Marc did much better than Huck．“Well done，”said Mum．“We could go to see a movie to celebrate，and you can choose one．”“I think Lily should choose，”
said Marc．“I would never have gained such a great achievement without her help and encouragement．”

[高分范文背诵]
Sichuan Province is located in the south western part of China，which is home to many world famous places of interest．One of my family trips to Jiuzhaigou，a nature reserve in the north of Sichuan，still remains fresh in my memory．
Stepping onto the magical land，I was totally stunned by its multi level waterfalls and lakes of amazing colors: crystal clear，blue green and dark green．Creatures were living in harmony with nature here．As we walked deeper，we even saw rare animals like giant pandas and golden monkeys．
All in all，a trip to Sichuan is highly recommended and it is a place well worth visiting a second time．
[片段1]
She stood by the window，joyfully and patiently watching．Golden sunlight danced in her long hair and the children's laughter floated in the air．She stared at the end of the road，hoping her close friend would come earlier．It seemed as if she had been standing there for a century．
她站在窗边，快乐且耐心地看着。金色的阳光在她的长发上舞动，孩子们的笑声在空气中飘荡。她盯着路的尽头，希望她的好朋友能早点来。似乎她已经站在那里一个世纪了。
[片段2]
Suddenly a wave of happiness and excitement seized/took hold of/swept over/came over her when she caught sight of a familiar figure．She ran to her friend and threw herself into her friend's arms．Tears of joy/happiness/excitement welled up in their eyes as they hugged tightly together．
当她看见一个熟悉的身影时，一种幸福和兴奋的情绪突然袭上她的心头。她跑向她的朋友，投入她朋友的怀抱。当她们紧紧地拥抱在一起时，喜悦/幸福/激动的泪水涌上了她们的眼眶。
