I just marked my first Mid-Autumn Festival celebration in China. Exactly a week after arriving for my graduate studies, I was kind of homesick-memories of past 16 back in Serbia (塞尔维亚) with family and friends exchanging scenes in my mind. On the morning of Friday September 13rd, almost everyone on the campus (校园) was very 17 . Chinese students explained to us the importance of the day and shared the folk tales about the Festival with us happily, while foreign students like me listening to them with joy. At lunchtime, mooncakes were unexpectedly 18 . Then came the night. The full moon appeared: huge ball high above the campus, and eyes looked at it with 19 . Unlike the nights before, a cool breeze swept through the campus. With Serbian music playing on my headphones, I danced my way, 20 in the wind, and forgetting myself for a moment.
As I went back into my room, I was interested in the festival’s idea. My 21 mind pushed me online where I came across the poem Prelude (前奏) to Water Melody (水调歌头), by the well-known Chinese writer Su Dongpo. This poem concisely (精确地) described what I was 22 . The message and the tone both resonated (共鸣) with my feelings. Writing to his family, Su 23 what time it was back at home. Considering the time differences between China and Serbia, I was continuously trying to find out what time it was back at home.
In the end, Su asked his family to join him in 24 the perfection of a full moon on a 25 night. What a way to finish! I, too, was hoping that all was well with my family. Despite the distance and anxiety that comes with not seeing or hearing from a loved one, we were all flourishing (繁盛的) under the watch of the 26 moon.
And while we may go away from home, as happens from time to time, the family remains the most important 27 to our life. As the Chinese used the holiday to 28 with the loved ones, the Serbian community also got together, shared a meal and walked on the streets under the neon(霓虹灯) lights.
As I write this, a day after the Festival, I cannot help but look forward to the next. Thank my Chinese friends, whose care made me and a crowd of other foreign students experience a/an 29 Mid-Autumn Festival. Thank my Chinese friends, whose 30 made me and a crowd of other foreign students feel like we were at home.

It’s late fall in the Arctic (北极的) Ocean. Ice begins to form on top of the water, making it difficult for the white whales to find open areas to come up for air. “They have to come up to breathe,” says Donna Hauser, a marine biologist (海洋生物学家) at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks. “That’s a more difficult job, and they have to find openings in the ice.”
The white whales know it’s time to leave for warmer waters. So the group of about a hundred white whales heads south toward the Bering Sea, a body of water separating the United States and Russia.
Halfway through their journey, the while whales find themselves swimming between two ice floes (浮冰). Suddenly, they hear a large splash (溅泼声). A white whale’s main enemy-an orca(虎鲸) — has appeared and is swimming toward the white whales. Luckily, orcas aren’t as good at swimming through ice floes as white whales are, giving the white whales time to speed up and swim away.
The white whales are safe, for now. “But before getting to their destination, they must pass through the Bering Strait connecting the Arctic Ocean with the Bering Sea-before the narrow (狭窄的) waterway freezes over,” Hauser says. “Otherwise, their path south could be blocked (阻挡).”
The white whales finally make it to the Bering Strait, which hasn’t yet frozen over. After a few more days of swimming, they arrive at the Bering Sea. The white whales will rest, hunt, and play here until April, when they’ll swim back north. There, the females will give birth to baby white whales in the spring. When ice spreads across the Arctic Ocean again, those babies will follow their families south and begin their first long journey.
34．Why do the white whales leave the Arctic Ocean?
A．They need to go south to hunt.
B．They have to get enough air.
C．They want to breathe fresher air.
D．They are afraid of the cold weather.
35．What may help the white whales get away from from the orca?
A．Brave fights. B．Swimming skills.
C．Large ice floes. D．Their smaller bodies.
36．What does “their destination” in the fourth paragraph refer to?
A．The Bering Strait. B．The Bering Sea.
C．The Arctic Ocean. D．The United States.
37．When will the white whales leave the Bering Sea?
A．In January. B．In February. C．In March. D．In April.

How do you feel about nature? After spending hours indoors, do you feel better when you visit your local park? Most people think that nature is good for our bodies and brains. However, humans are spending more time inside and less time outside. For example, the number of visitors to Canada’s national parks is getting lower every year. And in countries such as the USA, only 10% of teenagers spend time outside every day. Many doctors feel that this is a problem in the twenty—first century.
As a result, some doctors are studying the connection between nature and health: one example of this is the work of Dr Matilda in Sweden. The doctor gave people a maths test. During the test, their heart rates (心率) were fast. After the test, one group of people sat in a 3D—virtual—reality (虚拟现实) room for fifteen minutes with pictures and sounds of nature. Their heart rates were slower than people's in the other group.
The virtual touch with nature helped them feel more relaxed. Another good example of how nature is good for health comes from Canada. In Toronto, researchers studied 31,000 people living in the city. In general, they found that healthier people lived near parks.
Because of studies like these, some countries and cities want nature to be part of people’s everyday life. In Dubai (迪拜), for example, there are plans for a new shopping mall with a large garden so shoppers can relax outside with trees, plants and water. In Switzerland, “forest schools” are popular. Schoolchildren study their subjects in the forests and do lots of exercise outside. And South Korea (韩国) is another good example: it has new forests near its cities and around 13 million people visit these forests every year. So after building cities for so long, perhaps it’s now time to start rebuilding nature.
38．What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?
A．Teenagers’ problem in the 21st century. B．How much time we spend outdoors.
C．Visiting your local park. D．Feeling about nature.
39．Match the countries or cities with the information and choose the right answer.
①the USA       a. Children study in the forests and do lots of activities outside.
②Dubai        b. About 13 million people visit new forests near its cities every year.
③Switzerland     c. A new shopping mall with a large garden will be built.
④South Korea     d. 10% of teenagers spend time outside every day.
A．①—a ②—d ③—b ④—c B．①—d ②—c ③—a ④—b
C．①—a ②—c ③—d ④—b D．①—d ②—c ③—b ④—a
40．What do the results of the studies show?
A．More and more Canadians will live near parks.
B．The maths test is difficult and makes people nervous.
C．Nature can help people feel more relaxed and be healthier.
D．People's heart rates get slower in a 3D—virtual—reality room.
41．What can we infer from the last sentence of the passage?
A．Nature is more important than cities. B．Country life is healthier than city life.
C．People have lived in the cities for so long. D．Nature should be part of people’s daily life.



Dorothy and her friends were nervous to get out of the forest as soon as they could, so they hurried along the yellow brick road. It was not long before they came to a wider river.
“What can we do now?” Dorothy cried. “There isn’t a tree tall enough to fall across this river.”
“There’s no problem,” the Scarecrow said. “The Tin Woodman will build a raft (木筏).”
And this is what the Tin Woodman did. And while he was busy making the raft, Dorothy found some wild fruit and nuts, which she ate hungrily. Then, because it was taking the Tin Woodman a long time to finish the raft, Dorothy lay down and went to sleep.
The night passed without any problems, and the next morning the small raft was ready. Dorothy sat in the middle with Toto. The lion stood at one end and nearly made the boat sink (沉没) because he was so big and heavy. The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman stood at the other end. They both had long poles (杆子) that they used to push the raft through the water.
At first all went well, but then the river became deep, but the poles couldn’t not touch the bottom. The Tin Woodman said, “If we cannot stay near the land and the yellow brick road, the Wicked Witch of the West will use her magic and hurt us.”
“And then we won’t meet the Wizard, and I won’t get any wisdom,” the Scarecrow said.
“And I won’t get a heart,” the Tin Woodman said.
“And I won’t get any courage,” the Lion said.
“And I’ll never get home to Kansas,” Dorothy said. “We must do something.”
The Scarecrow was able to push the raft to the river bank. Dorothy, Toto, the Lion and the Tin Woodman got off. Before the Scarecrow could get off, however, the boat moved away from the river bank and carried the Scarecrow down the river.
Dorothy said, “Perhaps we’ll meet the raft further down the river. The most important thing now is to get back to the yellow brick road and continue on our way to the City of Emeralds.”
The Lion and the Tin Woodman agreed, and they set off along the river bank. It was not long before they saw the Scarecrow. He was holding onto the pole in the middle of the river. There was no sign of the raft.
42．What probably happened to Dorothy and her friends before this passage?
A．They met the Wizard. B．They met danger in a forest.
C．Their dream came true. D．The Wicked Witch helped them.
43．What can we learn from this passage?

B．The Lion helped to push the raft to the river bank.
C．Dorothy didn’t want the Scarecrow to go on with them.
D．It was dangerous for Dorothy and her friends to stay far away from the land.
44．Which is the correct order of the following things?

②The Tin Woodman began to build a raft.
③Dorothy found some wild fruit and nuts to eat.
④The Scarecrow was carried down the river with the raft.

九、阅读回答问题
请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。
Is Space Tourism a Good Idea?
“The most profound (深远的) experience I can imagine” is how actor William Shatner described the four minutes he spent in space. He was one of four passengers on board billionaire Jeff Bezos’ rocket, called New Shepard.
It was the second time that the rocket had successfully taken tourists into space. Bezos believes that in the future, millions of people will live and work in space. This will reduce the amount of pollution being caused on Earth.
However, Prince William says people should fix problems on Earth before going to space. “We need to put the world’s greatest brains together to try to repair this planet, instead of trying to find the next place to go and live. “ he says. What do you think? Is space tourism a good idea?
YES-- “It is the future and it will save the Earth.”
The developing technology will allow people to live and work in space in the future. People could move polluting businesses away from Earth and into space, which will protect the planet.
The projects are complicated (复杂的) and require lots of people working on them. This creates lots of new jobs for scientists and engineers.
Let’s not forget that going into space is also a lot of fun. Besides, humankind likes to explore and to find out what it is capable of achieving.
NO-- “It is a fantasy and waste of money”
Billions of pounds could go towards feeding hungry people, housing those without homes and providing medical treatment for people in need. The time and money spent on space tourism could also be used to develop technologies to protect the environment and the planet from climate change.
What’s more, space travel does more harm than good. This is because rockets create huge amounts of pollution as they burn tons of fuel in order to fly into the sky.
Lastly, space tourism is only for the rich. Few people can afford to buy a ticket to space.
Because of this, it will only end up being the wealthiest who get to go.
请将答案写在答题卡上
71．How much time did William Shatner spend in space on New Shepard?

72．What does Jeff Bezos believe in paragraph 2?

73．According to the “YES” side, how can humans protect the planet?

74．According to the “NO” side, why does space travel do more harm than good?

75．Do you support the idea of traveling in space? Please give your own reason(s).

But now, I am strong and healthy. I am good at so many things, such as reading, drawing and playing basketball. I often help my parents with housework and communicate with them.
The new year is coming, I hope I can become better and let my parents be proud of me. Besides, I am going to study harder and get good grades to get into my ideal high school. I am also going to travel with my friends.
