二、完形填空
I was having lunch at a restaurant when a pretty girl walked in and sat down at a table waiting for her friend. It didn’t 1 long before I saw she was trying to stay hidden from other people’s stares and my 2 sank.
You could see her hair was falling out and, at such a young age, she was receiving chemo (化疗). I ached for her, imagining what it must be like to go through this. I needed to send a 3 of hope to this girl. But 4 ?
Then I had a good idea! I called over her waitress and explained that I wanted to buy the girl and her friend’s 5 but that she couldn’t tell her it was me. I 6 her a note to give to the girl. The note 7 as follows:
“Someone today thought you were beautiful, someone today thought your eyes lit up the world, someone today cared and wanted you to know this. 8 the rest of your day, pretty young lady.”
About 15 minutes later the young girl asked for her 9 . As she was told it was paid for, she looked puzzled and asked who and why. The waitress 10 handed her the note and informed her that the gentleman who had done it had left, so as to keep me secret.
I watched as she 11 read the note. Tears welled up in her eyes, for only a moment, and then came the smile! A huge, beautiful, 12 smile! She lit up the room and then sat up straight, not caring who saw her. Her 13 also smiled, not for what was done but 14 her friend was feeling beautiful again.
It’s not how we look or what we have, 15 is it how much money we can earn. It’s all about how much we care and what we do, even if it’s making someone feel pretty only for a moment.
Yes, lunch cost only a few dollars but you see the wonderful part, the magic was free.
1. A. take B. cost C. remain D. last
2. A. mind B. head C. body D. heart

三、阅读理解
A(流浪地球）
In many – even most – space-themed films, whenever Earth faces a disaster, the solution is always fleeing the planet in spaceships. But the latest Chinese sci-fi movie, The Wandering Earth, offers a different and more ambitious idea.
In the film, based on a short story by Chinese sci-fi writer Liu Cixin, Earth is in danger of being destroyed by the dying sun. In response, humans around the world work together to build a giant engine system that will push Earth away from the sun. Instead of abandoning Earth again – this time we’re taking it with us.
This “ambition” didn’t come from nowhere. For thousands of years, “homeland” has had a soft spot in the hearts and minds of Chinese people. One old idiom is luoyeguigen, which means returning to one’s homeland in old age, like fallen leaves returning to the roots of their tree. Or look to an ancient verse: “The season called the White Dew begins tonight/Nowhere as in our native place is the moon so bright”. These both show the tight bond that Chinese people have had with their homeland.This special cultural background is probably what sets The Wandering Earth apart from Hollywood-style space films.
“What is Chinese sci-fi?” Guo Fan, the film’s director, said in an interview. “A vehicle that can really express our cultural and spiritual core can be called Chinese sci-fi. Otherwise, we’re just imitating others and telling the same American stories.”
And the makers of The Wandering Earth may have chosen the best time to tell its Chinese sci-fi story. The film was released on Feb 5, the first day of Chinese New Year. It was a time when many people had just made the hard journey back to their hometowns.
So to them, there is only one possible way to tell the story: Earth goes wherever humans go, because it’s our home.
1. What is the difference between The Wandering Earth and Hollywood-style space films?
A. A different and more ambitious idea. B. Its Chinese makers.
C.The story with great imagination. D. The specical cultural background.
2. What does the underlined word ‘abandoning’ mean in Chinese?
A. 抛弃 B. 毁灭 C. 依赖 D. 索取
3. The makers of this film choose Feb 5 to put on it probably because ________.
A. it was the Spring Festival and many people have time to watch it
B. many old people want to return to their hometown then
C. it can cause many people’s common feeling at this time
D. Chinese people usually celebrate together on that day
4. What can we learn from the passage?
A. This film was based on a short story by Chinese sci-fi writer Guo Fan.
B. This film tells us each of us should return to our hometown when we grow old.
C. We should protect the Earth because it is in danger of being destroyed by the dying sun.
D. The director of this film thinks Chinese sci-fi should have our cultural and spiritual core.

B
“Don’t tell anyone”. We hear these words when someone tells a secret to us. But it can be hard to keep a secret. Often, we can’t help “spilling the beans”, even if we regret it later.
According to Asim Shah, professor in the Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Baylor College of Medicine, US, keeping a secret may well “become a burden”. This is because people often have an “obsessive and anxious urge(冲动) to share it with someone.
An earlier study, led by Anita E. Kelly, a scientist at the University of Notre Dame, US, suggested that keeping a secret could cause stress. People entrusted with secrets can suffer from depression, anxiety, and body aches, reported the daily Mail.
But?with?secrets?so?often?getting?out, why do people share?them?at?all??Shah?explained that people often feel?that?it?will?help?them?keep?a?person?as?a?friend.?Another?reason people share secrets is guilt over keeping it from?someone?close?to?them. A?sense?of?distrust?can?develop?when people who?are?close?do?not share?it?with?each?other. “Keeping?or?sharing?secrets?often?puts people in a position of?either?getting?or losing?the?trust?of?someone.” according?to?Shah.
He?added?that?talkative?people?could?let?secrets?slip?out.?But?this?doesn't?mean?that?it?is a good idea only to?share?secrets?with?quiet?people.?A?quiet?person?may?be?someone?who?keeps everything inside. To?tell such?a?person?a?secret?may?cause?them?stress,?and?make?them talk about the secret.
Shah said that to judge whether to tell someone a secret, you'd better put yourself in their position. Think about how you would feel to be told that you mustn’t give the information away. Shah also recommended that if you accidentally give up someone’s secret you should come clean about it. Let the person know that their secret isn't so secret any more.
1. The underlined phrase “spilling the beans” in paragraph 1 probably means _______.
A. Keeping a secret B. Discussing a secret
C. Letting out a secret D. Thinking about a secret
2. Why may keeping a secret “become a burden”?
A. Because people who tell a secret may feel regretful.
B. Because people who keep a secret may feel stressed.
C. Because people may feel depressed after letting out the secrets.
D. Because people are forced to share their secrets with others.
3. From the passage, we can infer that _______.
A. People may feel guilty if they keep secrets for someone close to them
B. Keeping a secret may lead to distrust between close friends
C. To tell talkative people a secret may cause them much stress
D. It’s always a good idea to share secrets?with?quiet?people
4. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Keeping secrets is a burden. B. Don’t tell secrets to anyone.
C. Always share secrets with others. D. Others’ secrets are no more secrets.

六、任务型阅读
Tess was a little girl. Her brother was very sick. But her family didn't have money to send him to the hospital. “Only a miracle(奇迹)can save him now，” said her dad.
Tess took out all the money she had saved. Then she walked a long way to the pharmacy(药店). “What do you want？” the pharmacist asked.
“Well, my brother is sick，”Tess answered. “My daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much is a miracle？”
“We don't sell miracles here. I'm sorry but I can't help you，” the pharmacist said.
“I have the money to pay, and just tell me how much it costs.”
A well?dressed man was standing nearby. He asked the little girl, “What kind of miracle does your brother need？”
“He needs an operation. But my daddy can't pay for it，” Tess replied with tears in her eyes.
“How much do you have？” asked the man.
“One dollar and 11 cents，”Tess answered.
“Well，” smiled the man. “A dollar and 11 cents—that's just the price of a miracle for your little brother.”
He took her money and said, “Take me to your home. I want to see your brother. Maybe I have the kind of miracle you need.”
The man was a famous doctor. He gave her brother the operation for free. Before long, her brother was home again and doing well.
“That operation，” her mum said to her dad quietly, “was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost.”
Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost. …one dollar and 11 cents…and the love and faith(信心) of a little child.

七、缺词填空
For me, living in Canada for 25 years, China is a new world that I have longed to explore. This spring, I c 1 Yangzhou to be my first stop on a 16-month trip around China. It was like love at first sight. At 15, I bought a book of collection of p 2 about Tang Dynasty. Through it, I heard of Yangzhou for the first time. I was deeply attracted by a poem written by Li Bai – “Sailing to Yangzhou in M 3 ”.
Yangzhou has always been famous for its gardens. A 4 them, the Slender West Lake, one of the b 5 attractions in the city, was my first stop. The park with its fantastic landscape and lots of history has enough to keep a t 6 busy for the whole day. What a shame I simply could a 7 half a day!
My next stop was He Garden, one of the best protected gardens in Yangzhou. It was once owned by the family of He Zhidao in Qing Dynasty. He Zhidao successfully brought Chinese and W 8 architectural(建筑的) features together.
Yangzhou is also the starting point of the Grand Canal tour. Taking a boat along the part of the canal in Yangzhou, I was amazed at the liveliness of this ancient waterway and the c 9 history and culture.
Luckily, my two-day trip to Yangzhou was filled with p 10 and wonder. It made me hungry for more China.
