The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 periods. Winter Solstice(冬至), the 22nd period of the year, begins this year on Dec 22 and ends on Jan 4.
On the first day of Winter Solstice, the sun shines directly at the Tropic of Capricorn(南回归线). As a result, the northern part of the world experiences the shortest day and the longest night in the year. From then on, the days become longer and the nights become shorter. The Winter Solstice also marks the arrival of the coldest season in the year. Here are three things you should know about Winter Solstice.
The Winter Solstice Festival
There was a saying that went in ancient China, “The Winter Solstice is as important as the Spring Festival.” As early as Zhou Dynasty (c.11th century-256BC), people honored the gods on the first day of the Winter Solstice, which was also the first day of the new year. The Winter Solstice became a winter festival during the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220AD).
Eating dumplings
During Winter Solstice in North China, eating dumplings is necessary for almost everyone. There is a saying that goes “Have dumplings on the first day of Winter Solstice and noodles on the first day of Summer Solstice.”
Eating rice cakes
During the Winter Solstice, people in Hangzhou traditionally eat rice cakes. In the past, people used to make rice cakes themselves to honor ancestors there. Today, though few families have home-made cakes, people there still buy rice cakes for the Winter Solstice Festival.
26. Why does the northern world enjoy the shortest day on Dec 22 this year?
A. Because the southern part of the world enjoys the longest days.
B. Because the sun shines straightly at the Tropic of Capricorn.
C. Because the days get longer and the nights get shorter,
27. What does the underlined word “mark” mean?
A. 打分 B. 启动 C. 标志
28. During Winter Solstice, people ________.
A. are supposed to eat the same kind of food
B. memorize the ancestors all over China.
C. keep the tradition of eating rice cakes in Hangzhou
29. Which of the statement is TRUE about the passage?
A. People started the custom of Winter Solstice thousands of years ago.
B. Winter Solstice lasts for less than 10 days this year.
C. The first day of Winter Solstice means the start of a new year now.
30. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The introduction to Winter Solstice.
B. The customs on Winter Solstice.
C. The importance of Winter Solstice.

Every time 8-year-old piano student Zhang Yiting starts to play, the online music education app gets richer.
These days, although Zhang practices alone in her room in Qingdao, Shandong province, she has found a good online music teaching app called Xiongmao Peilian, which translates as “panda tutoring”.
Thanks to the app, there is always a teacher on hand to offer Zhang professional advice. “As a parent with no knowledge of music, it has been a huge relief, as I don’t have to drive her 11 kilometers away to practice as I used to,” said her mother.
Online music teaching becomes popular lately in the country’s online education industry. The app is making an effort to take in students who are learning musical instruments, as well as their parents, who often spend much time and energy being with their children practicing. Having one-on-one piano lessons with teachers online is now possible. They can guide the students on finger movement, hand positioned and playing skills.
“Unlike after-school training, which gives lessons mainly on English and math, the piano education market is still developing,” Ye Bin, leader and CEO of The ONE Music Group, Xiongmao Peilian’s parent company said, adding that there is huge space for growth as the business has not yet become fully developed.
However, it remains to be seen whether the business model is suitable, depending on whether users will buy more lessons.
“On the other hand, such companies should also provide their teachers with tools(工具) and technologies to improve online classes,” Ye noted.
31. According to Paragraph 1-2, Zhang Yiting ________.
A. starts to play the piano at the age of 8
B. becomes richer by playing the piano online
C. practices playing with the help of an app
32. What does Zhang Yiting’s mum think of the app of Xiongmao Peilian?
A. It can help her save time on the road.
B It can give students one-on-one lessons.
C. The app offers plenty of knowledge.
33. What does NOT the app teach the students?
A. Movement of fingers. B. Skills of singing. C. Position of hands.
34. We can infer(推断) from the passage that ________.
A. students and parents can use the app for free
B. more work will be done to make the app better
C. the app is very suitable for piano learners
35. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. A newly developed app. B. A new way of learning. C. A new online course.

Li Mingyong-who dropped out of school at 16, worked as a guard at college at 22, and finally graduated with a PhD degree(博士学位)at 41-has encouraged many people with his story.
Born in 1977 in a village in Zunyi, Southwest China’s Guizhou province, Li was one of the top students in primary and middle school. His mother’s illness left the family with debts(债务). So when Li graduated from middle school, he went to Guiyang, capital of Guizhou, to make money. In three years time, he helped his father pay off their debts.

In 2003, he took the adult college entrance examination and got accepted by the university. In 2005, he decided to go for a postgraduate(研究生) education. In order to pass the English test, he tried his best to memorize a dictionary. He succeeded in studying in Guizhou University in 2007. However, he wasn’t satisfied with this achievement, as he wanted to be a teacher. In 2013, he decided to pursue a PhD degree. He failed in 2013 and 2014, but was accepted by Central China Normal University in 2015 and graduated in 2018.

We can’t remember clearly since when we started to take our mobile phones to a dinner table. This happens a lot, especially when we eat out. 65When a dish comes to the table, we take out our phones rather than lift the chopsticks. Later, we post(上传) the photos onto Weibo or Wechat, waiting to be “liked”.
Does that sound familiar to you? If not, how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you? 66 A study discovers that what we get used to doing is not so good.
To test this, some researchers did an experiment. The result is surprising. 67花时间给食物拍照使得食物没那么美味。In the experiment, some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food. It showed that the more photos they took, the worse the food seemed to them.
Besides the result, there are also some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals. After posting the photos onto the Internet, 68我们在用餐期间会时不时查看我们的手机。“Does everyone like my photos?”
69 The mobile phone is a thing that most people need to use every day. However, next time you go out to have dinner with your family or friends, how about not taking photos of food? Let the food be delicious as it is and share your life with people around you.

第一节 语法填空
1.What ________ useful piece of advice! It can help students with their homework.
A. a B. an C. /
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：什么有用的一条建议！它可以帮助学生做作业。
a/an不定冠词，表示泛指，意为“一个”，a用于辅音音素前，an用于元音音素前。advice建议，不可数，但是可以和表单位的数量词连用。piece条，片，块，a piece of 一条……，a piece of advice 一条建议；useful以辅音音素开头，故选A。
2.—What do you think of your host family, Jack?
—Great. They try ________ best to make me feel at home.
A. his B. their C. them
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：——杰克，你觉得你的寄宿家庭怎么样？——太好了。他们尽量让我有宾至如归的感觉。
his他的，形容词性物主代词或者名词性物主代词；their他们的，形容词性物主代词；them他们，宾格。try one’s best to do sth尽力做某事，结合句意，故选B。
【点睛】
人称代词的主格作主语；人称代词的宾格放在动词和介词后作宾语，人称代词在翻译时都没有“的”字。形容词性的物主代词修饰名词，起形容词作用；名词性的物主代词单独用，起到名词的作用，物主代词翻译时都有“的”字。在做题时，我们可以先通过翻译确定是用人称代词还是物主代词，然后根据用法判断。
3.________ the teachers in our school is 158. More than half of them are women teachers.
A. A number of B. The number of C. A lot of
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：我们学校的教师人数是158人。其中一半以上是女教师。
A. A number of许多，大量，修饰可数名词复数；B. The number of……的总数；C. A lot of许多，既可以修饰可数名词复数又可以修饰不可数名词。根据is 158可知此处指老师的总数，故选B。
【点睛】
the number of表示“……的数量”,跟复数名词连用作主语时,中心词是number,谓语动词要用单数。a number of表示“许多”,相当于 many,修饰可数名词复数.作主语时,谓语动词用复数number前可用large, small等修饰,以表示程度。
4.After ________ discussion, we still haven’t decided when to start the project.
A. twenty-minutes B. twenty minutes’ C. twenty minutes
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：经过二十分钟的讨论，我们还没有决定什么时候开始这个项目。
twenty-minute二十分钟的，所以A项本身错误；twenty minutes’ 二十分钟的； twenty minutes二十分钟。此处修饰名词，所以用名词所有格，故选B。
5.Lily’s computer is not working. She’ll have it ________.
A. repair B. repairing C. repaired
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：莉莉的电脑坏了。她会把它修好的。
repair修理，动词原形；repairing动名词；repaired过去式，过去分词。have something done使某事被做，something和动词之间是被动关系，结合句意，故选C。
6.—I wonder if these are Daniel’s glasses?
—They ________ be Daniel’s. He doesn’t wear glasses.
A. mustn’t B. needn’t C. can’t
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：——我想知道这是否是丹尼尔的眼镜。——他们不可能是丹尼尔的。他不戴眼镜。
A. mustn’t一定不要，千万别，表劝告；B. needn’t不必，不需要；C. can’t表示否定猜测，意为“不可能”，根据提问及He doesn’t wear glasses可知此处指否定猜测，故选C。

【解析】
【详解】句意：老虎有危险！除非人类停止杀戮，否则情况不会改变。
if如果，引导条件状语从句；after在……之后；unless如果不，引导条件状语从句。从句humans stop killing不发生是主句成立的条件，结合句意，故选C。
8.—What do you think of the story about the boy ________ happened in the poor village?
—Well, I don’t think it is real.
A. which B. who C. what
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：——你觉得那个发生在贫穷村庄的男孩的故事怎么样？——-嗯，我觉得这不是真的。
which哪个；who谁；what什么。________ happened in the poor village和about the boy都是作story的定语，根据先行词是the story，物，所以引导词用which或者that，结合选项，故选B。
【点睛】定语从句用来充当句中定语的成分，被修饰的名词叫先行词，连接主从句的是关系词。关系词分：1关系代词：who , whom , whose , which , that 。2 关系副词：where,when why 等。一般的who 用于指代人的先行词，which 用来指代物的先行词，that既可指人又可指物．关系代词在从句中作主语、宾语。作宾语时可以省略，作主语时不可以省略。该题中先行词是the story，所以用连接词which。
9.Most of the guests ________ for almost an hour when David arrived at the party.
A. had been away B. had left C. left
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：大卫到达聚会时，大多数客人都离开了将近一个小时。
had been away过去完成时，动词是延续性状态；had left过去完成时，动词是非延续性动词；left过去式。根据句意可知“离开”动作发生在过去的过去，所以用过去完成时，和一段时间连用，动作用延续性动词或者表示延续性状态的词，故选A。
10.They wonder ________ an English test next Friday.
A. whether will they have B. whether they will have C. whether they have
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：他们想知道下星期五是否有英语考试。
宾语从句要用陈述句语序，A项为疑问句语序，所以排除A；主句是一般现在时，从句根据需要选择合适的时态，根据从句中的时间next Friday，可知用一般将来时，故选B。
【点睛】宾语从句主要注意三个方面：语序（从句要用陈述句语序）；时态（一般情况主句时一般现在时，从句根据需要选择时态；主句时过去时态，从句用相应的过去时态。）；引导词（引导词的选用往往要根据答语来确定）。该题中考查语序及时态。

The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 periods. Winter Solstice(冬至), the 22nd period of the year, begins this year on Dec 22 and ends on Jan 4.
On the first day of Winter Solstice, the sun shines directly at the Tropic of Capricorn(南回归线). As a result, the northern part of the world experiences the shortest day and the longest night in the year. From then on, the days become longer and the nights become shorter. The Winter Solstice also marks the arrival of the coldest season in the year. Here are three things you should know about Winter Solstice.
The Winter Solstice Festival
There was a saying that went in ancient China, “The Winter Solstice is as important as the Spring Festival.” As early as Zhou Dynasty (c.11th century-256BC), people honored the gods on the first day of the Winter Solstice, which was also the first day of the new year. The Winter Solstice became a winter festival during the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220AD).
Eating dumplings
During Winter Solstice in North China, eating dumplings is necessary for almost everyone. There is a saying that goes “Have dumplings on the first day of Winter Solstice and noodles on the first day of Summer Solstice.”
Eating rice cakes
During the Winter Solstice, people in Hangzhou traditionally eat rice cakes. In the past, people used to make rice cakes themselves to honor ancestors there. Today, though few families have home-made cakes, people there still buy rice cakes for the Winter Solstice Festival.
26. Why does the northern world enjoy the shortest day on Dec 22 this year?
A. Because the southern part of the world enjoys the longest days.
B. Because the sun shines straightly at the Tropic of Capricorn.
C. Because the days get longer and the nights get shorter,
27. What does the underlined word “mark” mean?
A. 打分 B. 启动 C. 标志
28. During Winter Solstice, people ________.
A. are supposed to eat the same kind of food

Every time 8-year-old piano student Zhang Yiting starts to play, the online music education app gets richer.
These days, although Zhang practices alone in her room in Qingdao, Shandong province, she has found a good online music teaching app called Xiongmao Peilian, which translates as “panda tutoring”.
Thanks to the app, there is always a teacher on hand to offer Zhang professional advice. “As a parent with no knowledge of music, it has been a huge relief, as I don’t have to drive her 11 kilometers away to practice as I used to,” said her mother.
Online music teaching becomes popular lately in the country’s online education industry. The app is making an effort to take in students who are learning musical instruments, as well as their parents, who often spend much time and energy being with their children practicing. Having one-on-one piano lessons with teachers online is now possible. They can guide the students on finger movement, hand positioned and playing skills.
“Unlike after-school training, which gives lessons mainly on English and math, the piano education market is still developing,” Ye Bin, leader and CEO of The ONE Music Group, Xiongmao Peilian’s parent company said, adding that there is huge space for growth as the business has not yet become fully developed.
However, it remains to be seen whether the business model is suitable, depending on whether users will buy more lessons.
“On the other hand, such companies should also provide their teachers with tools(工具) and technologies to improve online classes,” Ye noted.
31. According to Paragraph 1-2, Zhang Yiting ________.
A. starts to play the piano at the age of 8
B. becomes richer by playing the piano online

32. What does Zhang Yiting’s mum think of the app of Xiongmao Peilian?
A. It can help her save time on the road.
B. It can give students one-on-one lessons.
C. The app offers plenty of knowledge.
33. What does NOT the app teach the students?
A. Movement of fingers. B. Skills of singing. C. Position of hands.
34. We can infer(推断) from the passage that ________.
A. students and parents can use the app for free
B more work will be done to make the app better
C. the app is very suitable for piano learners
35. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. A newly developed app. B. A new way of learning. C. A new online course.
【答案】31. C 32. A 33. B 34. B 35. A

Later, we post(上传) the photos onto Weibo or Wechat, waiting to be “liked”.
Does that sound familiar to you? If not, how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you? 66 A study discovers that what we get used to doing is not so good.
To test this, some researchers did an experiment. The result is surprising. 67花时间给食物拍照使得食物没那么美味。In the experiment, some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food. It showed that the more photos they took, the worse the food seemed to them.
