In many ways, 2018 had proven an arduous year. My teenage daughter had left home for university, my job of ‎ 23 years was no more, and a creative project I’d given my all to for years had also been suddenly called off. I also found out a person I considered a friend was far from it.‎ A year earlier, I’d dreamt about an earthquake. In the dream, a red light flashed inside a building and then the earth began to rock. Walls fell down on me as I ran into the open, feeling sorry for the people I hadn’t loved enough. Before I was buried completely by the falling world, I shouted, “ Abuelo, ayudame,” in my native Spanish. “ Grandfather, help me! ”‎ Now, with the very real aftershocks of a series of unexpected endings, I walked into a little flower shop to buy a gift for a friend. The gentleman at the shop looked at me and turned away for a moment, returning with a fragrant flower. “ For you. You need to smile today, ” he said in a rich and beautiful accent, offering me the flower with eyes full of care. It took all my strength not to cry. Then he gave me a grandfatherly hug that made me want to tell him everything.‎ Instead, I thanked him and headed for the train. How did he know? I wondered. For the first time in weeks, I felt hope.‎ ‎24. The underlined word in the second paragraph means “ _____________” .‎ A. puzzled B. mixed C. hard D. meaningful ‎25. What is the third paragraph mainly about?‎ A. A detailed description of the author’s dream. B. The help that the author got from his grandfather.‎ C. An earthquake that the author came across before. ‎ D. The author’s sorry thoughts for the people he hadn’t loved enough.‎ ‎26. What drove the author to walk into the flower shop?‎ A. Series of unexpected things. B. The fragrant flowers in the shop.‎ C. The gentleman in the flower shop. D. The idea of sending a gift to a friend.‎ ‎27. Why did the author feel hope in the end?‎ A. Because the gentleman showed his concern for the author.‎ B. Because the gentleman gave the author a grandfatherly hug.‎ C. Because the gentleman at the shop sent him a fragrant flower.‎ D. Because the gentleman said some words in a rich and beautiful accent.‎ C Learning Chinese could be one of the most important decision you have ever made. Chinese is becoming the language to learn in the 21st century. With the world’s largest population and a rapidly growing middle class, China stands to become the engine of the world’s economy in the coming years. This will make learning Chinese very important for people in many industries(行业),or for those of us who wish to visit China or learn from its culture and history.‎ There is an ongoing effort to modernize the writing system and standardize the language. An increasing number of people learning Chinese are the Mandarin, so unless you absolutely need to learn another dialect (such as Cantonese), be sure you are studying Mandarin.‎ For native English speakers, Chinese is one of the most difficult and most different languages to learn. The vocabulary is wholly unfamiliar and unlike anything we know. In addition, in the Chinese tone(声调) system, words are spoken in rising or falling tones, which help to distinguish between them. Furthermore, there is the Chinese writing system---a collection of thousands of individual ideograms(表意文字), or symbols, which represent a word or an idea. These ideograms have no phonetic value ---that is to say, we can’t tell how the word is pronounced by how it is written. There is a method to present written Chinese in a phonetic script called pinyin. If you are learning Chinese, you’ll be working with this pinyin system, but the beauty of the traditional writing system shouldn’t be passed up(放弃). All these factors make learning Chinese difficult for us. Yet, for a determined learner, there is always a way to overcome it. ‎ ‎28. Learning Chinese is becoming more and more important, because________.‎ A. Chinese engines are very welcome B. China has the world’s largest population C. there are more and rich people in China. D. China has become important to the world economy.‎ ‎29. From the text we can learn that __________.‎ A. the author thinks Chinese is as difficult as English B. the author is interested in the Chinese language and its culture.‎ C. foreign languages can play a great role in industrial development D. as long as the pinyin system is learned well, one can learn Chinese well ‎30. The last paragraph mainly tells us about _______.‎ A. the difficulties of learning Chinese B. the advantages of learning Chinese C. the Chinese tone system D. the Chinese writing system ‎31.What would be probably written following this text?‎ A. the sources of Chinese characters B. the importance of learning Chinese C. the advice on how to learn Chinese D. the difficulties of learning other languages.‎ D Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.‎ Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.‎ In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.‎ Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said ‎ the 30-year-old man.‎ Richardson‎ describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything”. He said, “The feeling of having overcome something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”‎ The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said, “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”‎ ‎32. Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?‎ A. Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.‎ B. It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.‎ C. It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.‎ D. Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.‎ ‎33.Traveling alone is challenging because ________.‎ A. you have to make things on your own B. it is hard for you to prove yourself to others C. you can only depend on yourself whatever happens D. it will finally build your character ‎34.What can we infer about Chris Richardson?‎ A. He started traveling alone at an early age. B. He was once shot in the arm.‎ C. He used to work as a salesman. D. His website inspires others ‎ a lot.‎ ‎35.What is the best title for the passage?‎ A. Travel Abroad B. Travel Alone C. Travel Light D. Travel Wide and Far 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Children's Games in Ancient ‎China Unlike the children nowadays, the children during ancient times didn't have smart phone, iPad or computer to entertain（娱乐） themselves. 36 Let's take a look.‎ 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. 37 . For example, the swallow-shaped kite is a well-known Beijing style.‎ Playing hide-and-seek Hide-and-seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. Even nowadays, many children like playing it. There are two ways to play. One way is covering a child's eyes while other kids run around to tease（戏弄） him. 38 .‎ Kicking stone balls During the Qing Dynasty, 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. Stones were carved into small balls and kicked along with feet.‎ ‎ 39 ‎ The closest thing to watching a film or television for entertainment during ancient times was going to see a shadow play. Folk artists manipulate（操纵） puppets（木偶） behind the screen, narrating stories and accompanied by music. ‎ Setting off firecrackers Firecrackers have a history of more than 2,000 years. It is said that there was a beast named Nian in ancient China. 40 . After gunpowder was invented, it gradually replaced the bamboo joint cracker. Crackers are still set off during Spring Festival to symbolize auspiciousness（吉利）.‎ A. Watching shadow plays B. Each of them has separate features.‎ C. Different materials are used to make the kite.‎ D. Shadow plays were the popular entertaining form in ancient times.‎ E. And to scare off the beast, people burnt bamboo joints to make it blast（爆鸣）.‎ F. More commonly, participants hide and one child must try to find them.‎ G. Instead, they came up with interesting games to play in their childhood.‎ 第三部分 完形填空（共15题，每小题1分，满分15分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ I was walking home from school one day and it happened to be a particularly ‎ ‎41 and windy day.

Suddenly a crow（乌鸦）perched（栖息）on their window.‎ The father asked his son, “What is this?” The son replied, “It is a crow.”‎ After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this?” The son said, “Father, I have just now told you, it’s a crow!”‎ After a little while, the old father again asked his son for the third time, “What is this?”‎ At this time some expression of irritation（恼怒）was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father unwillingly. “It’s a crow, a crow.” A little while later, the father again asked his son the fourth time, “What is this?”‎ This time, the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this?”‎ A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered（发皱的）diary, which he had maintained since his son was born. ‎ On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page.
