Instead, they came up with interesting games to play in their childhood. Stone balls During the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China, and it was often played in the winter to keep warm. Hide-and-seek Hide-and-seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. There are two ways to play: covering a child's eyes while other kids run around to tease him or, more commonly, participants hide and one child must try to find them. Flying kites Kites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood, instead of paper. Nowadays, the three most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite and Weifang kite, which each has distinctive features. For example, the bird-shaped kite with long wings is a special kind of the Beijing kite. Watching shadow plays The closest thing to watching a film or television for entertainment during ancient times was going to see a shadow play. Folk artists manipulate puppets behind the screen, narrating stories and accompanied by music. 31. According to the text, the game of kicking a stone ball was . A. played in summer B. like flying kites C. invented in Beijing D. popular in north China 32. How is hide and seek usually played?

Because they may think they've find a swimming pool inside a carriage. To celebrate being the host city of the Universiade 2019—the Olympics for international university athletes—the Taiwanese capital had transformed a six-car train into six different sports places—a running track, a soccer, a baseball, a basketball field, a field for throwing sports and a swimming pool. And the 3D artworks have attracted a few workers to dive in. “Many people know a little about some of the sports places. We hope to bring sport closer to their daily life,” a spokesperson for the city’s Department of Information told CNN. “By choosing to change a train the public will have more chances.” Hsu Tzu-Hsiung, an athlete who represent Taiwan in international water sports competitions, was one of the passengers in full swim gear. “I waited until most of the passengers got off the train to take those pictures,” he said. “I think it’s fun to raise awareness about sport in general among the Taiwanese and get the public to get involved in the games.” The 29th Summer Universiade began on august 19 and close on august 30. It was the 1st time Universiade was held in Taiwan and the game was the biggest sporting event Taiwan had hosted so far. 34. What is the meaning of the underlined word “transformed” in Paragraph 2? A. invented B. changed C. repaired D. sold 35. What does the “chance” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. to take the subway. B. to have sports activioties. C. to join in the 29th Summer Universiade. D.to represent Taiwan in international water sports competitions. 36. Which of the following is TRUE? A. you can do anything in this kind of carriage B. people went there to take photos of Tzu-Hsiung C. this carriage is to make more people aware of the sense of sports D. there is no swimming pool, so people have to go this carriage to have a swim 37. Where can this passage probably come from? A. a newspaper B. science fiction C. a fashion magazine D.a storybook C According to a post titled "Mr. Left and Mr. Right" that went viral on China’s social media platform WeChat recently, here are some differences between Mr. Left and Mr. Right. For example, here are their differences in reaction to you working overtime. Mr. Left: "I know you are busy, but don’t forget to eat. “Mr. Right: "I’ve ordered you takeout food. Eat it when you have time.” How they react when it is cold outside? Mr. Left: “Drink some hot water.” Mr. Right: “Let’s go and get you some warmer clothes.” Now, do you get it? The post suggests you should date Mr. Left but marry Mr. Right. Why, you might ask? Mr. Left is a talker, while Mr. Right is a doer. That actually makes sense in ChinA. As you might know, Chinese men do not often say, "I love you." They believe actions speak louder than words. Therefore, women have to rely on their actions to see how much he cares about her. However, I actually prefer Mr. Left. The reason is simple. When Mr Right solves all your problems, he becomes your problem. Perhaps one of the most important roles a boyfriend can play is a cheerleader rather than a helper. We cannot expect our boyfriend or husband to help us solve all of our problems all the time. Sometimes we admire them so much that we forget they are also human beings, not Superman. Yes, maybe Mr Left cannot erase our insecurities, and maybe he cannot help you every time you need him, but that doesn’t matter. □ . His encouragement and love raises your confidence and guides you to overcome problems by yourself. You eventually become a better and stronger person. 38. When the girl friend is too busy with work, Mr. Left may say, “ .” A. drink some water B. remember to have meals C. I’ve ordered take-out food for you D. I’ve got some warmer clothes for you 39.

Which of the following can be put in “ □ .” in the last paragraph? A. nothing is impossible to the man who will try B. Instead of giving you fish, he teaches you how to fish. C. love is like the moon, when it does not increase, it decreases D. laugh, and the world laugh with you; cry, and you cry alone 41. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Can Mr. Left Be Right? B. To Be A Better Person C. Mr. Left And Mr. Right D. Action Speaks Louder Than Words D On Jan. 31, 2019, the Super Blue Moon was watched as once-in-a-lifetime celestrial (天体的) event. Some call this as the “Blue Blood Moon” which is actually a combination (组合) of three lunar phenomena—a supermoon, a bluemoon and a blood moon. A full moon happens twice in a calendar month. According to NASA, blue moons happen every two and a half years on average. But the Super Blood Moon, a rare event, was last seen in the sky in March 1866. In fact, the blue moon doesn’t mean the moon is blue. Blue moon means a thing which seldom happens. The moon is known as a supermoon because it’s especially close to the Earth, making it appear larger and brighter than usual. For Australia, Aisa and some parts of the US and Eastern Europe, there was a lunar eclips(月 食), when the Earth passed between the Sun and the Moon. On the very same night,our only natural satellite(卫星), entered the closest point to us in its orbit(轨道). It is also the second full moon of the month, commonly called a blue moon. The eclipse began at 10:51 GMT and ended at 16:08 GMT. This supermoon is also a Blood Moon. The word “blood” has been used to describe the deep red color of the sunlight that passes through Earth’s atmosphere to make our celestial neighbor much brighter. This red glow was produced by the same effect that gave us blue skies and red sunsets. Some sunlight is skimming through the earth’s atmosphere on its way to the moon, and it also gets refracted(折射) or bent towards the moon a little bite. 42. from the passage, we can learn that super blue moon . A. can be seen everywhere B. appears twice a month C. is very difficult to see D. happens every 2.5 years 43. which is the correct order when there is a lunar eclipse? A. sun, moon, earth B. sun, earth, moon C. moon, sun, earth D. earth, sun, moon 44. the eclipse in 2019 lasted . A. no more than 6h B. less than 5h C. more than 6h D. about 7h 45. the last paragraph explains . A. how the blood on the supermoon forms B. who discovered the Blue Blood Moon C. when the sunlight arrives the Moon D. what is the earth’s celestial neighbor 卷二 说明：本卷共有五大题，共 50 分，请用黑色字迹的签字笔将本卷的答案写在答 题卷的相应位置上，做在本试卷上无效。 四、词汇运用（本题共 15 小题，每小题 1 分；共 15 分） (A) 用方框中所给的单词的适当形式填空。（每个单词限用一次，每空只填一个单词） Whom Divide Polite leaf born 46.
