学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________

一、阅读理解

As a parent of three children, I’ve read many children’s books over the last decade, some

of which taught valuable lessons. Here are four books that teach valuable money lessons and

remain favorites of children.

Lemonade in Winter by Emily Jenkins and G. Brian Karas

It focuses on two siblings (兄弟姐妹) who make the interesting choice to open a

lemonade stand in the middle of winter. The book features a memorable song about lemonade

while telling a story about how sometimes great ideas don’t turn out like what you hope.

Bunny Money by Rosemary Wells

This is a “Max and Ruby” story, as it centers around a pair of rabbit siblings. In this story,

Ruby has saved $100 to buy her grandmother a birthday present, but various unexpected

events happen to Ruby and Max, causing some of that money to disappear. Will they have

enough to buy the gifts for their grandmother?

Joseph Had a Little Overcoat by Simms Taback

The book tells the story of a man who has a nice overcoat, but he wears it a lot and it

begins to wear out. Eventually, he reuses the material to make a jacket, then a vest, then

various other things until it becomes a cloth button. The book won the Caldecott Medal for its

wonderful drawings.

The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies

This is the first in a series about two siblings who open up competing lemonade stands.

The story steps up as the siblings use their skills and thoughts about entrepreneurship (创业)

to drive their “lemonade war” to amusing heights.

1．What can we conclude from Lemonade in Winter?

A．Two heads are better than one.

B．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

C．Things don’t always happen as we expect.

D．Don’t give up and never say you’re hopeless.

2．Who writes the book that teaches the idea of recycling?

试卷第1页，共10页

B．Rosemary Wells.

C．Jacqueline Davies.

D．Emily Jenkins and G. Brian Karas.

D．They are the favorites of all children.

In my last semester of college in the US, I struggled with the decision to move to New

York to pursue an advertising career, or to stay in Florida to be near my loved ones. While I

was leaning toward the latter, everyone kept telling me if I didn’t go to New York, I would

never make anything of myself or my career. Those statements made my blood boil, but also

made me decide to stay in Florida.

I accepted a marketing coordinator (协调员) position with Coton Colors. I knew the

company was growing fast, so it felt like a great place to begin my career. In Coton Colors, I

tried to establish myself. I took on basic marketing tasks like helping with small campaigns or

simple design. I started undertaking more tasks and discovering things I liked and excelled in.

I continued to ask for more responsibilities, and before I knew it, I was leading meetings,

directing support staff and taking off in my position.

I started getting in contact with some of my New York classmates. It seemed that most of

them were still assistants, running to get coffee and make copies, without getting any useful

experience. Those conversations helped me realize that I was in control of my own career. I

didn’t need to move to a big city to become an important part of a successful team-I was

already part of one. I went to the CEO and asked to create and lead an events team. After only

a few months, I worked around the clock to grow this branch while also continuing to

maintain my regular job duties. In the end, all of my hard work and devotion paid off.

I have watched myself grow from an entry-level college student to a valued member of a

powerful management team. I have overcome many stereotypes (刻板印象) of my generation

with my hard work and positive attitude.

D．We should push ourselves further with hard work and determination.

Since the dawn of human history, the moon has influenced myth, religion, and poetry.

But as the moon’s bright presence is over us in the sky, we wonder of its creation and

existence. Lunar exploration and research in the 20th and 21st centuries have expanded our

knowledge of our natural satellite and nearest neighbor, the moon.

The moon is so close (some 240, 000 miles away) that, with the help of telescopes, it is

easy to see many details on the near side of the moon that is always facing the earth. The

moon is airless because its gravity is too weak to capture and retain atmosphere; therefore,

there is no weather and no life. It is also waterless. The moon’s dark plains, once believed to

be stretches of water and still known as maria (“seas”), are really vast flat basins, created by

thick volcanic lava. The surface — despite the radiance (光辉) of a full moon — is made up

of dark grey rock that reflects only a tiny amount of the sunlight that hits it.

Lunar exploration has stripped away some of the moon’s mysteries. In 1959, the Soviet

probe Luna 3 revealed the far side that is hidden from the earth’s view. In 1969, Apollo II

astronauts on the first manned flight to the moon brought back rock samples some 3,700

million years old —older than any rocks on earth. Samples from later missions indicate the

moon may have been formed at about the same time as the rest of the solar system 4.6 billion

years ago.

试卷第3页，共10页

Analysis of the moon rocks suggests an end of intensive meteor crash of the surface

about 4 billion years ago and an end of volcanic eruption about a billion years ago. The moon

appears cold and dead — yet it still may be active. Observers report the flickering glow of

what could be eruptions at the edges of the maria and in certain craters.

8．What is true about the moon according to the passage?

A．There is no gravity on it.

B．There is no fresh water but some seas on it.

C．It’s so close to the earth that all details about it can be seen.

D．Its surface can only reflect part of the light that the sun cast on it.

9．What does the underlined phrase “stripped away” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．uncovered B．stole C．spread D．explored

10．Why is the moon believed to be active?

A．The moon reflects part of the sunlight.

B．There are lots of active craters on the moon.

C．Meteors cash the moon’s surface constantly.

D．There still could be volcanic eruption on the moon.

11．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．A Cold but Active Planet.

B．The Closest Natural Satellite.

C．Unlock the Mysteries of the Moon.

D．Make a Discovery of a New Planet.

Data shows that Chinese brands are winning increasingly more consumers in recent

years, especially among the younger generation. The trend is usually called “guochao”, or

“Chinese fashion trend”, which has driven demand for domestic brands and products that

often include Chinese traditional culture and style.

Its main followers are millennial born between 1980-1995 and Generation Z born

between 19 2010. Unlike the older generations who could have attachment to Western culture

and brands, Chinese youth were born and raised when the country’s economy and wealth

were taking off. The younger generation tends to have strong and genuine confidence in their

national identity and traditional culture.

To woo young customers, these domestic names are making products with high quality

试卷第4页，共10页

and appeal by strengthening research and marketing efforts. An often-cited case is Li-Ning,

China’s homegrown sportswear brand that is named after one of the nation’s most famous

athletes. The company almost broke up after a failed rebranding in 2011 when it went through

three years of losses after losing older customers while failing to attract younger buyers. It

was not until the 2018 New York Fashion Week that the brand made its huge comeback. Its

trendy look, bold use of color and traditional Chinese culture elements were showcased on

the stage so that it immediately grabbed attention at home and abroad.

The trend to embrace domestic brands has spread rapidly to various sectors and products

as well, from food and drinks to clothing and electronic vehicles. While many Chinese brands

have been gaining significant market share at home in recent years, Others are posting an

increasingly stronger global presence. In 2020, China’s tech giant Xiaomi reported its most

profitable year on the back of expanded sales and global market share. Revenues (零售) from

Haier Smart Home’s overseas business last year also marked an all-time high, ranking top list

in global market share for major home appliance. Although some brands still face plenty of

challenges ahead to meet the sophisticated needs of customers and regulations in overseas

markets, most domestic products are still quite competitive in the international market.

12．What does “guochao” refer to?

A．Domestic brands’ increase.

B．Chinese brands’ growing popularity.

C．Younger generations’ craze about fashion.

D．Fashion trend in Chinese traditional culture.

13．Why do domestic brands appeal to young generations?

A．Domestic products have a good quality.

B．Western products are out of date to the young.

C．Older generations influence the young to favor domestic products.

D．The economic development strengthens the young’s belief in domestic products.

14．Why is the case of Li-Ning mentioned in paragraph 3?

A．To introduce a new topic.

B．To advertise a domestic brand.

C．To present a convincing example.

D．To explain a complicated concept.

15．What’ s the author’ s attitude to the future of the domestic brands?

试卷第5页，共10页

A．positive

B．concerned C．indifferent D．critical

二、七选五

When you’re giving a speech to an audience, there isn’t a one-stop-shop approach that

will address everyone. 16 The following advice may help adapt your speech for your

audiences.

Preparing your speech based on your audience size should be one of your first

action-points. Larger audiences often have little participation, so ensure that your speech fills

the given time. It’s also much harder to get the attention of a larger group.

17

Remember to have eye contact with as many individuals around the room to keep them

engaged. 18 This means you’ll need to prepare extra material if needed and allow for

questions or comments throughout while still delivering your message in the given time.

19 Generally, there are four different ways in which people learn: visual, auditory,

reading and writing and kina esthetic(动觉 ). Including elements of each learning style in

your speech will help to engage more of your audience. Slides and images for visual learners,

using sound effects for auditory learners, providing copies of the slides which can be noted

and interactive parts of the speech will all be helpful in connecting with different audiences.

No matter how much you prepare and adapt your content for your audience, you may

find yourself in the situation where you are losing their engagement during your speech. It’s

essential that you read and act on these signals, like lack of eye contact, yawning or your

listeners being on their phone. Take the time to observe these reactions in the crowd and

understand what interest or bore your audience. 20

A．That’s why tone and body language is important.

B．Different people have different likes and dislikes.

C．But to draw a small audience’s attention seems much easier.

D．Smaller audiences often have more opportunities for interaction.

E．Different audiences have different requirements when receiving information.

F．Then adjust your approach to regain their attention while not going off your subject.

G．Another factor to consider is that your audiences have different ways to take in

information.

Believed to have existed for more than 60 million years, crested ibises (朱鹮) are one of

the oldest species of bird on Earth. Due to pollution and other human activities, the birds

36 (begin) to disappear in the 1960s. In 1981, seven crested ibises were found in Yangxian

county, Shaanxi province, 37 were believed to be the last remaining ones worldwide. But

now, they have come back from the brink of 38 (extinct). Researchers said that 39

number has risen to more than 7,000 worldwide. There are 5,000 crested ibises in Shannxi

alone.

“The secret for the inspirational case of 40 (successful) saving crested ibises from a

small population is the immediate onsite protection approach adopted at the very beginning,”

Zhang Yueming, an expert who works at the crested ibis nature reserve in Yangxian.

41 the fourth day after the discovery of the seven crested ibises, the local

government published a series of emergency notices to protect crested ibises, for example, the

bans on hunting. Later, it also established the Qinling No. 1 protection station and sent four

people 42 (guard) the seven birds. These guardians observed and recorded the birds’

habits and kept them safe. Meanwhile, new methods were used to protect crested ibises,

mainly 43 (include) artificial breeding and reintroduction. In 1990, the Shaanxi Crested

Ibis Rescue and Breeding Center was established. At the center, crested ibises are artificially

bred and can receive timely treatment 44 they are sick. Over the next 30 years, they

45 (establish) a complete system of artificial breeding techniques, laying a foundation for

the birds’ later reintroduction into the wild.
