During his stage life, he combined the traditions of the past with his own creations, shaping a style of his own and giving birth to “The Mei Lanfang School”. He was also the first artist to introduce Peking Opera to an overseas audience, making it popular to the world.    Mei Lanfang began his stage life at the age of 8. His teacher said he showed little hope because of his boring eyes. To improve this, he exercised them day after day. Thanks to his efforts, he managed to change his dull eyes into a pair of bright and expressive eyes and win national fame before the age of 20.    In over 50 years on the stage, Mei Lanfang played no less than 100 different characters in the performance. He also wrote many new plays, designing the dances himself. The many dances he created form part of the great legacy that he left to Peking Opera.    In 1930, Mei Lanfang started on a successful US tour. There his brilliant performances impressed the audience, making them realize that Peking Opera was a theatrical form of great value.4、Mei Lanfang was the first artist to introduce Peking Opera to ________.A.China B.audience C.the world D.schools5、How long did it take Mei Lanfang to exercise his eyes into bright and expressive?A.About 8 years. B.About 10 years. C.About 12 years. D.About 14 years.6、What is the meaning of the underlined word “legacy” in paragraph 3?A.Someone well known at over the world. B.Something of little importance.C.Something traditional mixed with modern dances.D.Something valuable passed down from generation to generation.7、What is the main idea of the passage?A.The history of Peking Opera.B.Mei Lanfang’s early stage life.C.The performance of Peking Opera by Mei Lanfang.D.Mei Lanfang’s great contributions to Peking Opera.    Almost all calligraphy(书法) lovers agree that writing characters with a brush and ink on straw paper offers a way to communicate with not only history and culture, but also oneself. But now Chinese character handwriting is under threat from computers and mobile phones.    A college graduate looking for a job was reportedly refused by a company because he wrote 24 Chinese characters incorrectly in a 400-character handwritten resume(简历). A survey by HorizonKey, covering people from 12 major cities in China, found that nearly one third of those interviewed often experience “character amnesia(遗忘)”, with 94 percent saying this is a problem for them.    The main reason is that most Chinese rely too much on the pinyin-based Chinese language input method, which is replacing the tradition of writing characters stroke(笔画) by stroke. The software will conveniently choose the right characters according to the context or word frequency(频率), as there are dozens of characters with the same pronunciation in Chinese.     The number of electronic devices in the classroom is thought to be another reason why students are easily satisfied with just a poor knowledge of the Chinese language and characters. It is quicker to look up a character in an electronic dictionary, but traditional printed dictionaries offer more detailed information on the usage and meaning of the characters. Students pay more attention to remembering a character’s pronunciation, but not the other knowledge related to it, which e-dictionaries hardly provide.    Another worry is the “pollution” of Chinese characters by Internet language. Young people regard using Internet language as cool and fashionable. After they learn to use these expressions, they often include them in their writing.8、With the example of a college graduate, the author shows ________.A. that practicing can improve writingB. why certain people are poor writersC. that there are differences in students’ writingD. that Chinese character handwriting is in great danger9、By saying “...those interviewed often experience ‘character amnesia’ ”, the writer means those interviewed ________.A. are not good at handwriting B. can’t write characters correctly.C. show no interest in handwriting D. find jobs much more difficultly10、What phenomenon is described in Paragraph 4?A.  Dependence on electronic devices.B.  Advantages of electronic dictionaries.C.  Mastery of knowledge of the characters.D.  Disadvantages of published dictionaries.11、What’s the writer’s attitude towards the Internet language?A. Supportive B. Uncaring C. Negative D. Friendly    A new study suggests that long periods in space can cause the human heart to shrink(萎缩). The study—by a team of American researchers—comes as the U.S. makes plans to build a long-term base on the moon and prepares to send astronauts(宇航员) to Mars.    Part of the study was based on the experiences of retired astronaut Scott Kelly. The U.S. space agency NASA says that during his career, Kelly spent more time in space than any other American astronaut. One of Kelly’s stays aboard the International Space Station (ISS) lasted 340 days. Researchers from the University of Texas’ Southwestern Medical Center (UT Southwestern) in Dallas analyzed(分析) physical data collected during Scott’s long stay aboard the ISS. The goal was to learn the effects of weightlessness on heart health and performance. The team found that during Kelly’s stay in space, the left ventricle(心房) of his heart shrank about 0.74 grams per week.    Dr. Benjamin Levine is a professor at UT Southwestern. He was the leader of the research. In a statement, he explained that because of the conditions in space, the heart does not have to work as hard to pump blood uphill from the feet. Over time, this can cause shrinkage. In an effort to keep their muscles and bodies healthy in space, astronauts are required to perform different kinds of exercises throughout their stay.    Reductions in heart size are also seen in patients who spend long periods in bed because they are lying flat and the heart does not have to work as hard to pump. A second part of the study examined data from a long- distance swimmer who spent nearly a year trying to cross the Pacific Ocean. The swimmer, Benoit Lecomte, was chosen because he swam more than 2,800 kilometer over 159 days. Levine says long-distance swimming has similar effects to weightlessness because water pressure works against the force of gravity. The study showed that during Lecomte’s swim, his left heart ventricle shrank about 0.72 grams per week.12、How did the researchers carry out their study?A.By interviewing astronauts.B.By examining collected information.C.By experimenting aboard the ISS.D.By comparing people in different fields.13、What are astronauts asked to do to keep their hearts fit in space according to the text?A.Do various exercises. B.Stay in space for less time.C.Stand on their heads sometimes. D.Have more healthy food.14、Who is least likely to suffer from a shrunk heart according to the text?A.A patient who spends a long time in bed.B.A long-distance professional swimmer.C.An astronaut travelling in space for long.D.A runner who trains hard.15、What can be the best title for the text?A.U.S. Builds a Long-term Base in SpaceB.New Ways to Fight Heart DiseasesC.Long Spaceflights Can Shrink the HeartD.Long-distance Swimming Can Keep Your Heart Healthy二、七选五16、    Wild chimpanzees(黑猩猩) are rapidly disappearing. Some people are trying to solve this problem. ①_____ people are trying to save the rainforests and woodlands where the chimps live from being cut down. It will take many people working together to solve this problem.    Chimpanzees and humans are alike in many ways. A baby chimp laughs when its mother tickles(搔痒) it.

When the shop remained closed for not just two days, Evan was worried he’d never be able to get his “dream job”.    85-year-old Mrs. Carter was a woman selling flowers for a living and Evan had befriended her when he helped her cross the street one day.    Now seeing her again, Evan ran up to her and greeted her. “Can I help you today, Evan? Do you want flowers?” Mrs. Carter asked. Evan smiled, “I’m looking for a job! Can you please hire me?”    “A job?” the elderly lady laughed, thinking Evan was too little for that. But Evan proudly replied he knew many things, like making sandwiches and helping his mom get grocery bags from the car. Mrs. Carter laughed and asked Evan how much money she would have to pay him if she hired him.    Evan shook his head. “All I want is a big bouquet (花束) for my mom. Her name is Stacey and her birthday is one week away. Mom says we should work hard for what we want. I want to work hard for that bouquet. Can you hire me?” Evan asked. Mrs. Carter was impressed and nodded.    Then for a whole week, Evan would come to Mrs. Carter’s store in the evenings and help her, and having Evan around relieved Mrs. Carter’s boredom while she was working. Some customers thought Evan was lovely and entertaining, so they bought more flowers. Mrs. Carter’s business became better.    A week later, on Evan’s last day on the job, Mrs. Carter was emotional. They had grown close for working together, and Evan had become like a grandchild to her. While making a huge bouquet for Evan’s mother, Mrs. Carter secretly placed one envelope into the bouquet. The envelope contained $200. When handing him the bouquet, she said, “Will you come to see me someday, Evan? I’d be delighted to have you here.”    “I will!” Evan smiled and waved goodbye to Mrs. Carter.注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150词左右：2. 续写部分分为两段, 每段的开头语已为你写好。Paragraph1:    Carrying the flowers, Evan rushed home to surprise his mom.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph2:    Then, Evan and his mom hurried to return the money to Mrs. Carter._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I think this got here by mistake!” said Evan.Paragraph 2:    Then, Evan and his mom hurried to return the money to Mrs. Carter. When they reached her shop and were about to return the money, Mrs. Carter smiled and said, “It’s my pay for Evan. He did a very good job. Keep it.
