第二部分：阅读理解(共15题 每小题2分，满分30分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

                                   A          

You may not know a lot of people when you start high school. Even if you know some freshmen, you still feel nervous that you don’t know any upperclassmen or teachers. How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces?

Most high schools hold a freshman orientation before school actually starts, which is helpful not only because you can know your way around the building and get to meet some of your teachers, but also because you get to meet fellow freshmen. That way, when you show up on your first day of school, you may already recognize a few familiar faces. When you talk to your new classmates, you’ll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are. They’re all new to the school and don’t know what to expect. Talking about a common worry with them can help you develop friendships.

The work in high school is something that freshmen are possibly worried about. The work in high school builds on what you learnt in middle school, giving you a more advanced knowledge of many subjects. So you may find you have more work to do or that it’s a bit more challenging. If you ever find your work too difficult, teachers can give you extra help.

High school also has more extracurricular activities than middle school does such as clubs, music and theatre groups and sports teams. This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things.

High school gives you the chance to learn how to manage your time, to develop your social skills and interests, and more importantly to be more independent and responsible.

31. What does the underlined word “orientation” mean in paragraph 2?

A. Game.            B. Discussion.

C. Training.           D. Examination.

32. What are freshmen probably worried about?

A. The learning task.          B. The ability to make friends.

C. The friendship with teacher.        D. The freshman orientation.

33. Extracurricular activities mainly help students _________?

A. build up healthy bodies.        B. develop their interests.

C. develop friendships.         D. improve their learning ability.

34. Who is the passage written for?

A. Freshmen at high school.        B. Freshman's parents.

C. Middle school students        D. Upperclassmen in high school.

                                    B

I will always remember my mother's last few days in this world.

On February 14th, 2000 my class went on a field trip to the beach. I had so much fun. When we returned to school, my teacher told me to go to the headmaster's office. When I got into the office, I saw a police office. Suddenly I realized something was wrong. The police office told me what had happened and we went to pick my sister up. After that, we went to the hospital and waited. Time went slowly. Finally, we got to see our mother. It was terrible.

On the next day, the headmaster came and told my two teachers what had happened. I was taking a rest that day. I knew it had something to do with my mother. I kept thinking that she either died or had gotten better. How I wished that she had gotten better. When my teacher took me outside, my sister ran up to me. She started crying, “She's gone. Teresa, mommy's gone. She's dead.” I couldn't believe it. We jumped into the car and drove straight to the hospital. Most of my family were there. The silence was terrible. I knew I had to say goodbye.

Today when I look back, I still miss my mother very much, but I know that I will live. My mother was a strong mother, who had the biggest heart. My mother was an angel walking on the earth. I will always remember her as living. When someone is asked who their hero (英雄) is, they usually say someone famous, like Michael Jordan or Britney Spears, When someone asks me who my hero is,  I tell them, my mother. My mother lives every day. That is what makes her a true hero.

Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) has been greatly contributing to the treatment of the COVID-19, which changed the altitude of the western world to it to some extent. However, in the past, foreigners knew little about it. According to a government report, although TCM has been introduced into 183 countries and regions around the world, their understanding of TCM may be limited to acupuncture(针灸), cupping and massage(按摩) .For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on a U. S. famous swimmers back from cupping to relax his muscles and reduce pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016.

In fact, Chinese herbs(药草) play a more important role in curing diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. Therefore, it is disappointing to know that although 103 world Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM is much less popular than Western medicine partly due to the slow development of Chinese herbs.

Herbs can be made into pills, powder and soup. The kind of herbs used, their quality, quantity and the processing together determine the effectiveness of the prescription (处方). Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization. The chemical composition and functions of its medicine are still unclear and their effects are unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades and a number of factories are increasingly producing patented TCM drugs.

Another reason why TCM prescription drugs have developed slowly is that it lacks creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicine according to prescriptions handed down from the past. That Chinese chemist Tu Yoyo won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria(痢疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry.

However, Rome was not built in a day. The current situation cannot be changed within a short time.

42. Why did the US swimmer attract the audience's attention in the 2016 Rio Olympics?

A. The injury on his back. B. The golden cup he won in the games.

C. His relaxed muscles and reduced pain. D. The purple, injury-like marks left on his back.

43. What should we do to make TCM be recognized by more countries?

A. Set standards and improve creativity.

B. Increase functions and decrease production.

C. Increase functions and improve creativity.

D. Set standards and create more prescriptions.

44. How does the writer feel about the future of TCM?

A. Anxious. B. Negative.

C. Disappointed. D. Positive.

45. Westerners DON'T think              .

A. acupuncture treatment is effective 

B. cupping can cure some diseases

C. massage can relax body muscles 

D. herbs can keep the body in good condition

第三部分：阅读表达理解(共5题 每小题2分，满分10分)

阅读下列短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题所给的具体要求，完成对该问题作答。

A self-service flower shop operated by a college student in Beijing is attracting many young customers, Chinese media reported.

Different from traditional shops in the capital, the young storekeeper surnamed Wang opened the first self-service flower shop where people can select flowers and pay via mobile payment systems including Wechat and Alipay.

Born after 2000 and a lover of literature, the young man said “he begins the startup because it will not take up his time”. “Besides, people can go to flower shops at any time,” he added. “I cannot focus on reading when I have to serve customers.” So Wang opened the self-service flower shop after doing market research.

Most young customers like shopping in a free environment, and hate promotion from clerks, he explained, adding that customers can have their questions answered about the names of flowers through mobile apps.

Even though there is no shopkeeper, the operation has attracted many young customers and proved to be a success, at least for now.

Although he does not sell flowers in the shop in person, Wang said he would go to the shop at odd intervals to take care of the flowers though he couldn’t afford it full time.

“It is a business with a little money, and it can’t cause a huge loss if a burglary (偷盜) happens,” he said, adding that he trusts people.

46. How do people pay for flowers? (no more than 8 words)

47. Why does Wang open the self-service flower shop? (no more than 20 words)

______                                                                                                                                                 

48. How can customers have their questions answered about flowers? (no more than 10 words)

49. What does the underlined phrase “at odd intervals” most probably mean? (no more than 5 words)

50. What do you think of the self-service flower shop? Tell your reasons. (no more than 20 words)
