（共20小题，每小题1.5分）
A
Born into a farmer’s family, life was not easy when I was a kid. We were so poor that we often did not know where our next meal was coming from. I had to sell vegetables at the marketplace to support my family.
A storyteller once came to the marketplace, and I went to listen to him. My mother was unhappy with me for forgetting my job. But that night, while she was making clothes for us under the weak light of an oil lamp, I couldn’t help retelling stories I’d heard that day.
She listened impatiently at first, because in her eyes professional storytellers were smooth-talking men — nothing good ever came out of their mouths. But slowly she was attracted by my retold stories, and from that day on, she never gave me any task on market days, but an unspoken agreement to enjoy new stories. I tried my best to retell the stories to her in lively detail. Soon, she wasn’t the only member of my audience, which later included many of my relatives.
But talkative (健谈的) kids were not well thought of in our village, for they could bring trouble to themselves and their families when they talked too much. Mother often reminded me not to talk so much, wanting me to be a quiet and modest (谦虚的) teenager. However, my natural desire (欲望) to talk never went away, and that is what makes my name — Mo Yan, which means “no speaking”. This strong wish to talk also improved my ability to express myself, which is important to writers who are also considered as storytellers.
39. What kind of life did Mo Yan live when he was young
A. Hard. B. Colorful. C. Unforgettable. D. Rich.
40. What can we know from the underlined sentence
A. Mo Yan’s mother thought highly of the storytellers.
B. Mo Yan’s mother was attracted by the retold stories at first.
C. Mo Yan’s mother thought storytellers told something useful.
D. Mo Yan’s mother didn’t like professional storytellers.
41. Which of the following is NOT mentioned according to the passage
A. Little Mo Yan didn’t like selling vegetables.
B. All the villagers liked to listen to Mo Yan’s stories.
C. The name “Mo Yan” was to remind himself to talk less.
D. The ability to express is important to writers.
42. What’s the purpose of writing the passage
A. To tell us how to be successful.
B. To tell us what a storyteller is like.
C. To introduce Mo Yan’s mother to us.
D. To tell us something about Mo Yan’s childhood.
B

“Without music, life would be a mistake,” famous German philosopher(哲学家) Friendrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets(预算).
For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired(解雇)over 1,000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That’s partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn’t tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often.
However, learning music is beneficial(有益的)in many ways.
When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode(解码)them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.
Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist MaxPlanck was talented in playing the piano.
47. Some schools in the US cut music classes, because ______.
A. students in the US weren’t interested in music B. they were too difficult to learn
C. there weren’t enough music teachers in the US D. the schools wanted to control budgets
48. In Paragraph2,what does the underlined word“them”refer to(指代)
A. Public schools. B. Fired teachers. C. Parents in Chicago. D. Students in Chicago.
49. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4
A. Different abilities are needed to work together while we are playing music.
B. Playing the piano needs people to use fingers to make sounds.
C. Decoding music notes is needed while we are playing music.
D. Playing the piano needs people to see music notes.
50. What’s the writer’s opinion according to this passage
A. Music is as simple as it looks. B. Music classes should be cut in some schools.
C. Music is a big part of our lives. D. Music isn’t a very important life skill for us.

D
We have known for a long time that flowers of different plants open and close at different time of day. This is so familiar that there seems to be no need to ask the reason for it. Yet no one really understands why flowers open and close like this at particular times. The process is not as simple as we might think, as recent experiments have shown. In one study, flowers were kept in constant darkness. We might expect that the flowers, without any information about the time of day, did not open as they normally do. In fact, they continued to open at their usual time. This suggests that they have some mysterious way of knowing the time. Their sense of time does not depend on information from the outside world; it is, so to speak, inside them, a kind of “inner clock”.
This discovery may not seem to be very important. However, it was later found that not just plants but also animals —including man —have this “inner clock” which controls the working of their bodies and influences their activities. Men, then, are also influenced by this mysterious power. Whether we wish it or not, it affects such things in our life as our need for sleep, our need for food.
In the past, this did not matter very much because people lived in natural condition. In the modern world, things are different; now there are spacemen, airplane pilots and, in ordinary life, a lot of people who have to work at night. It would be very useful, then, to know more about the “inner clock”. Such ordinary things as flowers might help us understand more about ourselves.
51. A recent experiment showed that ________________.
A. different flowers open and close at different times of day
B. for their opening and closing, flowers do not need information from the outside world
C. flowers are influenced by weak light even when they are in a dark room
D. flowers can be used for telling the time
52. The “inner clock” _________________________.
A. is an unimportant discovery B. is only found in animals
C. has not been understood by far D. has an effect on human life
53. Further study of the “inner clock” will be useful because ________________.
A. it might help us in some way
B. we do not yet understand plants and animals well enough
C. the number of spacemen and airplane pilots is fast increasing
D. we should try to live more naturally than we do now
54. ________________ have a mysterious power of knowing time without information from the outside world.
A. Animals including man as well as plants B. All living things except man
C. Flowers are the only things in the world that D. Neither animals nor plants

. In recent years， WeChat has been more and more popular。
First, everyone can easily use it, it does not need much skills.

Third, we can get the latest information quickly and easily . And we can use it as a telephone to talk with our families, how fantastic! So everyone love it .
But it also has some bad effects on our study if we spend too much time on it. And if we put our private information on it, it may give away to others, so it may be dangerous to us.
