In a cold winter, a couple (夫妇) had to move out of their big house because of bankruptcy(破产). The husband (丈夫) worked day and night to support the family but with no care of his wife. So she thought, “He doesn’t love me any more, he just cares about his work.”

One day, she wanted to take a shower, but her husband stopped her at the door, “Let me take it first, OK?" “Why not let me shower first?” she asked. “I am tired, sweetie, you take it later, OK?” She was very sad.

On a rainy day, she found nothing to do and turned on his computer. After a few minutes, her eyes were full of tears (眼泪). It was his diary:

“Today, I was quite sad when she asked me why I was always taking the shower first, and I said I was tired. She was unhappy. I wasn’t as rich as before! We moved to the small flat and it was very cold. But I found that if one person took the shower first, the room could get a little warmer. So every time I rushed to the bathroom first. When she took the shower, the room would get warmer by at least 1℃ or 2℃. Now I can’t give her a comfortable life or buy expensive dresses for her, but at least, I can give her 1℃ of love.”

Have you ever heard the phrase "You never get a second chance to make a first impression（印象）"? It may sound like an unusual piece of advice, but it is true﹣the first impression someone has of you when meeting you for the first time will probably influence how that person treats you or reacts to you in the future.

  What is even more interesting is that the brain takes in all the information to create that first impression in about three seconds. When you meet someone for the first time, by the time you have stated your name or shaken hands, the other person has already formed an opinion about the kind of person you are.

  So how do you make a good first impression? All things grown up tell you such as being polite, and being well﹣dressed are very important. However, the most important tool for making a good first impression is your face.

  Smiling, being responsive, and looking like you are happy will almost always leave a positive（积极的）impression on people, especially those who do not know you. Most people, generally speaking, are ready to smile back when they are smiled at.

  Furthermore, smiling and being in a positive mood helps you to know and get a better understanding of new things. This means that you can possibly be friendlier to people you do not know and be more creative and able to solve problems more quickly. So if you ever need a reason to be happy, think about the wonderful people you might meet and impress with a cheerful smile.

A. Friendliness helps solve problems.        

B. Being positive helps you find a way out.

C. There are many reasons to be happy.     

D. Thinking of great people cheers you up.

(C)

On a cold, rainy day, a boy found a turtle (乌龟) along the river. He was very happy, hoping to raise the turtle as his lovely pet. He put the turtle on a stone and watched it for a long time. But the turtle didn’t move.

He caught the turtle and began to shake it. But the turtle still stayed in its shell. The boy picked up a stick to try to pry it open. The boy’s uncle was watching all of this.

“No, that’s not the way,” he shouted.

The boy’s uncle took the turtle into the house and set it near the fireplace. The turtle didn’t move at all until it got warm. Then it pushed out its head, stretched (伸展) out its legs and began to climb. “Turtles are like that,” said the uncle, “and people, too.”

五、任务型阅读（本题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分）

Do you know all birds protect themselves by listening and watching out for danger? At the smallest sign of it, they will fly away. Birds that cannot fly are often able to swim fast, or run quickly. Some birds make themselves look bigger and more dangerous by fluffing their feathers.

Another important protection for many birds is their colours. Their feathers often have colours that match the things around their nests. Some birds change colours with the seasons. In winter they are white to match the snow. In summer they are brown to match the ground.

People sometimes kill the birds without meaning to. When people cut down forests to build houses and factories, they destroy the homes and food of birds. If the birds have nowhere else to go and nothing to eat, they will die out.

Pollution may cause some birds to die. Birds that eat fish from polluted water get poison in their bodies. Then they cannot lay healthy eggs. New birds can’t be born.

Now people protect birds by passing the laws to control hunting and pollution, by setting up some special parks where all the birds are safe from hunters, and by teaching people to care about birds rather than kill them.

六、阅读表达（本题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）

Last month, heads of state from 29 foreign countries came to Beijing t attend the Belt and Road Forum(一带一路论坛)for International Cooperation(国际合作). The main goal(目标)of it is to make the countries work together in more areas. It has won the support of more than 130 countries and international groups.

As a Chinese student, you must know something about the Silk Road.

Long ago, traders brought treasures from the East to the West. These treasures were not ordinary( 普通的) goods(货物) that were easy to get. Many people wanted them and it was a good way to become rich. As a result, the traders travelled a long way to the East for silks and spices.(香料)

The Silk Road was not a real road. It was a route(线路) between the East and the West. It went through China, Turkey, and Greece. Some traders travelled over land and others sailed across the sea. There was danger along the two routes.

Traders who went over the land used camels and horses. First, the traders crossed the dessert.(沙漠) Then, they climbed over mountains. After that, the traders still had hundreds of miles to go. Bad weather was often a problem. Traders who crossed the sea faced the same problem. There were storms on the sea. Water and winds could push the boats in the wrong direction.(方向)

Over time, the Silk Road changed people in both the East and West. Traders shared stories about faraway lands. They brought back drawings of the places and things they had seen, which helped people learn about new cultures. As a result of the Silk Road, the world seemed much smaller.

56. What is the main goal of the Belt and Road Forum for the countries?

57. What did the traders travel a long way to the East for?

58. How many roads were there in the Silk Road?

59. What was the same problem traders over land and across the sea faced?

60. What makes the world seem much smaller?
