He has lived in his hometown all his life. He has seen great changes in his hometown from the past to the present.When Zhang Wei was young, his hometown was a small village by the river. There were only about 100 families in the village. People lived in small wooden houses. They made a living by fishing and farming. The river was very clean, and people could swim in it and get water from it. There was no bridge over the river, so people had to take a boat to cross it.In the 1990s, some changes started to happen. A bridge was built over the river, which made it easier for people to cross. Some new houses were built, and a small road was paved. People began to do small business besides farming and fishing. They sold their vegetables and fish in the nearby town.In recent years, great changes have taken place. The small village has become a small town. Many tall buildings have been built, including shops, hospitals and schools. The small road has become a wide highway. There are many cars and buses running on the highway. The river is still clean, and people have built a park along the river. People can walk, run and play in the park in their free time.Zhang Wei says, “I have lived here all my life. I have seen my hometown change from a small village to a beautiful town. People’s life is getting better and better.

The jar wasn’t a treasure, but it held so many special moments with my dad.  ②The pickle jar was in my parents’ bedroom. Every night, Dad would drop his coins into the jar. When the jar was full, Dad would sit at the kitchen table and put the coins into wrappers (包装纸) before taking them to the bank. This was a special event. ③Every time we went to the bank, Dad would say, “Those coins are going to keep you out of the factory, son.” After depositing the coins, we would celebrate with ice cream. I always chose chocolate and Dad chose milk. Dad showed me the coins in his hand after the seller gave him change. “When we get home, we’ll start filling the jar again,” he said excitedly. He always let me drop the first coins into the empty jar. “You’ll get to college with them,” he said. ④Years later, I finished college and moved to another town for work. During a visit home, I noticed the pickle jar disappeared. It already finished its job.  ⑤Although the pickle jar can’t be found anywhere now, its meaning always stays with me. It taught me about hard work and family love. Dad never said many big words, but this little jar told me everything. I’ll always keep this memory in my heart.14．What does the underlined word “depositing” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．savingB．throwingC．spendingD．wasting15．According to the writer, how did his father teach him important lessons?A．By setting an example.B．By giving long talks.C．By visiting him every week.D．By making him work at a factory.16．Which is the right structure (结构) of the passage?A．B．C．D．17．What is probably the best title for this passage?A．Lessons from a Pickle JarB．Lessons from CoinsC．Skills on How to Make MoneyD．Skills on How to Talk with DadCSaihanba is one of China’s largest forests. It lies in the north of Hebei Province. Saihanba means “beautiful and high mountains”．Around the 10th century, the rulers of the Liao Dynasty made it a royal (皇家的) hunting place because it was home to beautiful forests, green grasslands, clear lakes and different kinds of wild animals. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty liked Saihanba so much that he made hunting there a royal festival. The royal festival finally stopped in the 19th century for lack of money and the place had to be open to the public. After that, the cutting down of trees and wildfires changed green Saihanba into grey deserts. By the 1950s, the beauty of Saihanba had completely disappeared (消失) with only one tree left. The tree is now famous as the “Tree of Honour”．On seeing the tree, Chinese scientists made up their minds and dreamed of restoring Saihanba. In February 1962, the plans were made and more than 120 foresters joined 242 local people in Saihanba to begin rebuilding it. Over the next 55 years, those first tree­planters fought against many difficulties to plant trees. After they died, their children and relatives followed them and went on with their hard work of planting trees.Today, the scientists’ dream has come true and there is beautiful grassland and flowers again around the “Tree of Honour”. Chinese people successfully changed Saihanba in the past half­century.18．What’s the right order of the events in Paragraph 2?①Saihanba became a royal hunting place.②Saihanba was a desert and its beauty disappeared.③Saihanba wasn’t closed to the public any more.④Saihanba turned into the place for royal hunting festivals.A．①③②④B．①③④②C．①④③②D．①④②③19．What does the underlined word “restoring” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Looking around.B．Bringing back.C．Arriving at.D．Travelling to.20．According to Paragraph 4, how does the writer feel about Chinese people?A．Proud.B．Worried.C．Surprised.D．Nervous.21．What is the best title of this passage?A．Saihanba: Past and PresentB．The Largest Forest in ChinaC．The Disappearing SaihanbaD．The “Tree of Honour” in SaihanbaDFlying has completely changed the way we travel around the world. It’s usually the fastest and most convenient way to go on long trips. But here’s a problem: it’s one of the activities that produce the most carbon for an ordinary person. Years ago, a small group of famous people in Sweden, driven by environmental worries, started the“flight shame”movement. They wanted to encourage people to give up flying. But for those who need to travel or love travelling, what other green ways are there?For medium to long trips, trains seem to be the best choice. According to a report, taking a train instead of a domestic (国内的) flight can cut down carbon emissions (碳排放) by 86%. However, there are some problems. Trains can be more expensive than cheap flights, especially during busy travel seasons. Also, it may take many more hours to get to your place, and most people don’t want to spend a lot of their travel time just on the way. That’s why sleeper trains are a great idea. The networks of sleeper trains in Europe are getting bigger, with new railways being added regularly. This means passengers can sleep during the trip and wake up in a new city or country!For short trips, many people are willing to ride bikes instead of driving cars. But few would think of cycling to another country. Matilda Welin is one of the few. It took her 17 days to ride a bike from London to Sweden. Sadly, she found that her trip neither benefited the planet nor saved her money. But it did change how she saw things. She said,“When I was travelling, I really felt the distance of the journey that I usually take so easily by plane.”She described how the world around her changed slowly, like the languages, the buildings, and the view—things she couldn’t enjoy on a flight.Unfortunately for the planet, air travel remains a popular choice. About 100,000 planes take off around the world every day. But if we spend more money on building better train systems and make train tickets cheaper, more people might choose trains over planes, which could greatly reduce carbon emissions.22．How does the writer introduce the greener choices compared with flying in Paragraph 1?A．By giving facts.B．By asking a question.C．By listing numbers.D．By giving an example.23．What challenges do trains face compared to flights?A．Trains are always faster but more expensive than flights.B．Trains are often cheaper but take much longer time than flights.C．Trains are more expensive than cheap flights and take more hours.D．Trains are used for short-distance trips and less effective than flights.24．What do you know about Matilda Welin’s cycling trip from the passage?A．The trip took her little time and wasted some money.B．The trip has brought a lot of advantages to the planet.C．She enjoyed experiencing slow changes during the trip.D．She realized that the distance of this trip was quite short.25．What is the passage mainly about?A．The greenest active way to travel.B．Choose green travel instead of flying.C．Serious problems of travelling by bike.D．Push forward the building of train systems.第三部分 信息还原(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分)请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。With the development of society, our daily life has changed greatly in the past few years, especially the way we go out.

As the last solar term in spring, this period sees the temperature rise and rainfall increase, creating a good environment for plants and animals. Grain Rain is still linked with modern agriculture.

Cang Jie created a set of characters from observing(观察)the tracks(足迹)of birds and mammals. After his great invention, grains started to pour down from the sky.The Grain Rain Day has become a day to honor Cang Jie and the invention of the Chinese language and April 20 has been designated as the annual UN Chinese Language Day since 2010. Chinese characters are a treasure of the spiritual homeland of Chinese people, the thousands of years of Chinese culture, and an important symbol of cultural identity.Answer the questions according to the passage.54．Who invented the first Chinese characters according to the passage? 55．What usually happens on the day of Grain Rain? 56．Do you think the Twenty-four Solar Terms are useful?
