A

When I was looking for a Christmas present for my daughter in a toy store, a nicely dressed little girl, with some money in her little hand, was looking at some beautiful dolls. When she saw a doll she liked, she would ask her father if she had enough money. He usually said yes.

At the same time, a boy, with old and small clothes, was looking at some video games. He, too, had money in his hand, but it looked no more than five dollars. Each time he picked up one of the video games and looked at his father, he shook his head.

The little girl had chosen her doll, a very beautiful one. However, she noticed the boy and his father. She saw the boy give up a video game with disappointment (失望) and walk to another corner of the store.

The little girl put her doll back to the shelf and ran over to the video game. After she talked to her father, she paid for the video game and whispered (耳语) to the shop assistant.

So the boy got the video game that he wanted for free—he was told it was a prize from the store. He smiled happily, although he felt it was so incredible.

The girl saw all this happen. She smiled, too.

When I walked out of the store to my car, I heard the father ask his daughter why she had done that. I would never forget their short talk. “Daddy, didn’t Grandma want me to buy something that would make me happy?”

He said, “Of course, she did.”

“Well, I just did!” With that, the little girl started skipping (蹦跳) towards their car happily.

26．The story happened in a ______.

A．school B．toy store C．computer room

27．The boy ______.

A．was from a poor family

B．had much money in his hand

C．wanted to get a doll very much

28．The underlined word “incredible” most probably means “______” in Chinese.

A．感到绝望的 B．令人兴奋的 C．难以置信的

29．Which of the following is TRUE according to the story?

A．The little girl was kind and helpful.

B．The video game was a prize from the store.

C．The writer paid for the video game for the boy.

30．The story tells us we should ________.

A．buy gifts for others

B．listen to our grandma’s words

C．make the money more valuable

B

March 2 is Old Stuff(物品) Day. You must have some old stuff around. And today is all about enjoying it. Because what’s better than finding something really great from days gone by?

It’s so easy to forget things you have. And that’s not just the things in your home—in the age of new information, we can have so many things easily. Today is all about remembering the things we sometimes leave behind.

We’ve learned to value(重视) what age can bring to things. Wines, for example, are more valuable and tastier as they grow older. It’s certain that old things still have their uses or charm(魅力). People today will pay a pretty penny for stamps, toys, video games, books, coins, and clothes of yesterday.

You can really get into the charm of old things by visiting a junk shop(旧货店). Another person’s old stuff could be your new stuff! Old stuff could become a great gift for someone else, or you could always send your old things to a charity(慈善) shop. If you’re free, you could turn your old things like old clothes into new ones with just a little change.

Today could be a good day to visit your older family. You could ask your grandparents to tell you stories about family history, their childhood and their youth. Learn about what was going on in the world when they were growing up.

Most of all, remember that today’s new stuff will one day be old stuff.

31．What is Old Stuff Day for?

A．It’s to tell people to stop buying. B．It’s to throw away old things.

C．It’s to protect the traditional arts. D．It’s to enjoy and reuse old things.

32．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A．Old things take too much room at home. B．Old things are still valuable and useful.

C．We may forget things that we have easily. D．People always clean up their houses.

33．According to the writer, which is NOT a proper way to deal with old things?

A．Turning old things into new ones. B．Sending them to a charity shop.

C．Cutting them into small pieces. D．Giving them to someone else as gifts.

34．The purpose of writing this passage is to make readers ________.

A．realize the value of old things B．find out the importance of study

C．remember family history D．get on well with neighbors

35．Where can we find this passage?

A．In a newspaper. B．In a novel. C．In a history book. D．In a science magazine.

C

Qingming Festival is a traditional Chinese festival for family to pay respect (尊敬) to their ancestors (祖先). People visit their ancestors’ grave sites and offer food, drinks and flowers. There are some Chinese poems showing Chinese history and culture through ancient expressions. Here we look at one of the classic poems in the history of Chinese literature:

A drizzling rain falls like tears on the Mourning Day;

The mourner’s heart is going to break on his way.

Where can a wineshop be found to drown his sad hours?

A cowherd points to a cot amid apricot flowers.

In China, around the time of Qingming Festival, there is more rain. The poet is traveling far away from home on these rainy days. The rain and lonely walks lead to the separation of the soul (灵魂) and body, which adds a sad feeling to this poem. The writer, Du Mu describes a rainy scene in a village in the first two lines. Then in the last two lines, the poet wants to find a place to take a rest, drink some wine (酒) and get away from the sad feeling. Where can I find a good tavern? In the last line, a cowherd points to a direction (方向), which describes two people looking far ahead on the rainy day.

In this poem, Du Mu presents a village with apricot flowers around as the direction of the tavern. He doesn’t describe its feature on a rainy day but leaves it to the readers’ imagination.

Qingming is not only a sad festival, but can also be a happy time for people to enjoy the spring and get closer to nature in an outing. Trees are green and flowers are blooming, so it’s a good time to be outside.

36．The Chinese title of this poem is “________”.

A．《清明》 B．《咏柳》 C．《春望》 D．《秋思》

37．The weather on Qingming Festival is always ________.

A．snowy B．windy C．cold D．rainy

38．The poet wants to find a place to ________.

A．make friends B．eat some food C．drink some wine D．buy a raincoat

39．A cowherd may mean ________.

A．a boy who sits on the cow B．a place where the cow lives

C．a person who herds the cow D．a place where the cow eats grass

40．We can ________ on Qingming Festival according to the writer.

A．offer food, drinks and flowers to old people

B．pay respect to our ancestors and enjoy the spring

C．feel sad all day and drink some wine with family

D．find a beautiful place with a lot of flowers around

D

What should you do when you come to a word and you think you don’t know what it means? ___41___.

Say it

First, sound it out. Then say it to yourself. ___42___. Sometimes you know a word in your head but you don’t know what it looks like in print. So if you match up what you know and what you read, you have the word!

Use context（上下文）

If this doesn’t work, take the next step: look at the context—the other words and sentences around it. Read this sentence: When it rained, the dog looked for shelter in the doorway. ___43___, “rain” and “in the doorway” might give you helpful information.

___44___

If the context doesn’t help, look at the parts of the word. If you don’t know the meaning of “miner”, try looking at parts of the word. You might know that a mine is a place underground where people get valuable things like coal（煤）. Usually, “-er” at the end of a word means “a person who does something”. So a miner might be someone who works in a mine.

Look it up

If the three steps above don’t work, you can look it up. ___45___—either a book or online.

Nobody knows the meaning of every word, but good readers know how to understand words they don’t know.

A．Use word parts

B．Look at the words

C．It might sound like a word you know

D．You can find the word in a dictionary

E．Following some easy steps can help you

F．We can learn the word by speaking it out

G．If you don’t know what the word “shelter” means
