Many Westerners have the assumption(假设) that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu. This is, of course, a silly belief. But it is true that kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.
Like most people from the West, I was first introduced to kung fu through Hong Kong action films. Stars like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan made kung fu popular in the Western world. The flashy(炫酷的) and impressive performances they gave in films like Rumble In The Bronx and Enter The Dragon made them household names in the US and elsewhere.
However, my own personal interest in kung fu was actually inspired by a hip-hop group. Wu-Tang Clan(“武当派’’), founded in the early 1990s in New York City, is one of the most influential(有影响力的) hip-hop groups in history.
In their songs, they sometimes mention philosophical concepts(哲学理念) that come from wudang quan—the style of Chinese martial arts from which they take their name—and the Shaolin Monastery. I was just a teenager when I first started listening to Wu-Tang Clan—little did I know that I would actually end up living in China later in my life!
I myself do not practice kung fu. However, the concepts behind it are quite interesting to me. There is a Bruce Lee quote that I often think of when I’m struggling with challenges in life. Be formless...shapeless, like water,” he once said. By this, he meant that you should be ready to adapt(调整) and change your attitudes or beliefs when you face difficulties. I think this is a good way to deal with life.
28. What makes the writer interested in Kung fu?
A. Famous Hong Kong action films.
B. A Chinese friend in New York City.
C. A hip-hop group called Wu-Tang Clan.
D. Film stars like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan.
29. What can we learn about Wu-Tang Clan according to the passage?
A. It isn’t influenced by Chinese culture.
B. It was founded in the early 1990s in New York.
C. It makes kung fu quite popular in the Western world.
D. It is one of the most popular hip-hop groups in China.
30. In the writer’s opinion, which may be a good way to deal with life?
A. Practice Kung fu to relax yourselves.
B. Be ready to take on new challenges anytime.
C. Listen to Wu-Tang Clan when you feel stressed.
D. Change your attitudes or beliefs when facing difficulties.
C


When Charlotte Bronte wrote Jane Eyre in 1847, she chose a strong woman character. At this time in history, women were thought to be very emotional beings(感情冲动的生物). They were only suitable as wives or teachers. Bronte wanted to show a different side of women.
In the novel, Jane is a poor, quiet orphan who has to live with her aunt and cousins. They are very strict with her and treat her awfully. Her cousin John in particular hates her. After one serious fight with him, Jane is sent to a strict boarding school. There she discovers her love for learning although she’s treated in the cruel way. When she turns 18, she leaves the school. She is asked to go to Thornfield Hall to educate a little French girl named Adele. She is the ward(受监护人) of the master of the house named Mr. Rochester. He is a very wealthy and mysterious man. At first Jane does not like Mr. Rochester. She finds him moody and unkind. But they start to grow closer and eventually fall in love. Mr. Rochester wants to marry Jane, and she accepts.
Their wedding day is anything but happy. It is said that Rochester is already married. He does not love the woman, Bertha, who is mad. But to keep her out of a mental hospital, he keeps her in a room of Thornfield Hall. Jane feels sad about that and runs away from Thornfield. She walks slowly around for days without food or money. She is finally taken in by two cousins, Diana and Mary, and their unfeeling older brother St. John.
He finds Jane a job as a teacher in a nearby village. St John decides to go to India as a missionary(传教士) and asks Jane to accompany him as his wife. Jane does not love St. John, so she refuses. One night she hears Mr. Rochester’s voice calling to her. She hurries back to Thornfield Hall only to discover it has been burned to the ground. Bertha loses her life during the fire, and Mr. Rochester loses his sight. She seeks him out, and they rebuild their relationship. They get married, have a son and live happily ever after.
31. What does the underlined word “orphan” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. A child who has no parents. B. A child who has no food to eat.
C. A child who has no brothers or sisters. D. A child who has no school to study in.
32. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Rochester loves Bertha so much that they get married soon.
B. Bertha loses her life in order to save Rochester from a big fire.
C. Jane lives a happy life at aunt’s home because everyone likes her.
D. Jane falls in love with Rochester when she teaches a girl named Adele.
33. What’s the purpose passage?
A. To show a good-looking lady. B. To praise a great writer.
C. To introduce a moving novel. D. To encourage a lasting friendship.
D
When we see babies or pets, we can’t help gently touching them to show our love. And they give us happy feelings back. But a recent study shows that it’s different for plants.
A study, published in The Plant Journal, shows that plants don’t “like” to be touched. That’s because touching changes their genes (基因) and, even worse, can slow their growth.
Professor Jim Whelan of the La Trobe Institute in Australia gave an explanation. “The lightest touch from a human, animal, insect, or even plants touching each other in the wind, leads to a huge gene change in the plant,” Science Daily reported.
In order to test the theory, the scientists did an experiment on plants. They grew a number of plants to the age of four weeks. Then they touched them with a paintbrush every 12 hours over a 36-hour period.
They found that as a response to the touch, the mitochondria (线粒体) in the plants had been partly destroyed. The mitochondria, as Science Alert noted, are the “powerhouse of the cell. The mitochondria produce energy for the rest of the cell in both animals and plants.
If this “powerhouse” is weakened， the plants will lose a large amount of energy that should have supported their growth.
Whelan further explained to Science Daily, “If the touching is repeated, then plant growth is reduced by up to 30 percent.”
Although the process does have a strong effect on plants, usually the plants survive. Touching changes the plants, but it’s not necessarily a bad change.
According to Science Alert, frequent touching or moving plants will make them grow shorter than other ones.
The researchers believe this change, in some ways, could be helpful. It may help plants fight threats to their health such as insects and bad weather.
The new research findings have led to a deeper understanding of the plants’ response to touching. And the research might “open up new ways to reduce sensitivity (敏感性) and optimize (优化) growth in the future”, Science Alert reported.
34. Why don’t plants like to be touched?
A. Plants’ genes will be changed.
B. Plants will grow much taller than others.
C. Plants growth will be reduced by up to 40 percent.
D. Plants will lose the ability to fight against bad weather.
35. What does the underlined word “weakened” in Paragraph 6 possibly mean?
A. Becoming stronger. B. Becoming less strong.
C. Becoming less changeable. D. Becoming more changeable.
36. What can we get from the new research?
A. A new way to increase sensitivity in the future.
B. A totally bad and strong influence on plants’ growth.
C. A wonderful method to help plants grow better and better.
D. A deeper understanding of the plants’ response to touching.

My mom’s life was a busy one. Raising four kids on her own was a full time job in itself, but she also worked outside the home. Surprisingly, she always seemed to find a little bit of extra time for us despite (不管) her schedule (预定计划).
She would take us over to my aunt’s in the evening when she worked as a waitress in a small diner. We would just be finished with school and have to hurry, so my mom would be on time for work. I thought she would pass us over to our aunt and hurry off as soon as we made it through the front gate, but that didn’t happen. Instead, we would sit on the porch (门廊), my mom in her waitress uniform, and we would rock in my aunt’s big wooden swing (秋千) and talk about what happened that day.
“I learned how to add numbers up to the hundreds,” my sister Sandy would say.
“That’s wonderful,” my mom would reply, holding her tight.
“I learned how to write my name!” Larry, my younger brother, would shout.
My mom would get a piece of paper and a pencil out of her purse and hand it to my brother. “Show me how you do it,” she’d ask softly.
“Do you have enough time to hear what I did today?” I’d ask her.
Mom would smile at me and nod. “I’m never too busy for something important like that!”
She gave us the gift of time again and again throughout the years. Later on in her life, when she came to live with us after her retirement (退休), my mom gave the gift of time to my children too. They would run around excitedly, asking their grandma if she would play with them, or read them a story, or go for a walk with them. By then my mom had health problems, but she would always nod and sit down and read to them or tell them stories about when she was a little girl. Those moments were a wonderful gift that my children still talk about and treasure.
In the last few years of her life, I would take her to lunch or sit with her on the porch, and we would talk about the past, the dream of the future, and just enjoy being with each other. My mom would listen as I shared all of my hopes, my fears, and my dreams for my family. I would look at her and ask her if she minded me taking up so much of her free time.
“Nonsense,” she’d tell me. Then she’d give me a wink and say, “I’m never too busy to spend time with you. It’s one of the greatest joys of my life.”
I will always remember those wonderful words and the loving heart behind them. It is a gift my mom give to me for which I will forever be grateful. In this busy world of ours, and in a life filled with challenges, she always had time to share her joy with me.
37. According to the passage, we know that the writer grew up ________.
A. in a small diner B. in a low-paid family
C. only with her aunt D. with four sisters and brothers
38. What did the children do on the porch of their aunt’s?
A. They shared their daily experiences.
B. They told funny stories to their aunt.
C. They helped their mother do some work.
D. They played games together with their aunt.
39. After retiring, the writer’s mother ________.
A. always stayed alone at home
B. looked after the writer’s children
C. moved to live with her daughter Sandy
D. often gave gifts to the writer’s children
40. What’s the best title for the passage?

C. My Children’s Memory D. Wonderful Retirement Life

任务型阅读（每空一个单词）
“Don’t judge a book by its cover,” the old saying goes. Unluckily, as a teenager, that is often exactly what you do to yourself. Dark thoughts about your physical appearance can hang over you all the time like a rain cloud. Do I look fat in these jeans? Do others think I am too short? These thoughts can have a negative(消极的) influence on people of any shape or size, both male and female, and it is important to guard against the causes behind them.
Standards of beauty in the media can have a big influence on what you think of your physical appearance. Teens who try to copy the looks of their favourite stars are fighting a losing battle—these standards are simply impossible for most of the population to live up to. They will only end up feeling worse about themselves.
Your friends also influence the way you view your physical appearance. If you have friends who are good-looking or have a great fashion sense, it can feel like you are living in their shadow. For children of digital age, social media makes this problem even worse. Your friends may post a “never ending” series of photos online to show off their beautiful dresses or strong bodies, and it becomes easier for you to compare yourself to them. This has proved to have a negative effect on what you think of your physical appearance.
These external influences are always present, but there are certainly ways to deal with them. First of all, be careful not to follow popular beauty standards blindly. They are out of reach for 99% of us, so it is better to just forget about them.
Another tip is to remind yourself that you are unique(独一无二的). Keep in mind that your family and friends love you just the way you are. Talk about your feelings with someone you trust. Focusing on your strength also helps you build your confidence. Everyone has their own talents—you may be good at painting or playing the piano, so take pride in things you do well instead of worrying about things you cannot change.
You may often judge yourself by what is on the outside, not on the inside. However, like a book, your contents are much more important than your cover. If you can learn to see the good things about yourself—your individuality, your value to others, your achievements—you will soon begin to love yourself just the way you are.
Never judge a book by its cover

Many Westerners have the assumption(假设) that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu. This is, of course, a silly belief. But it is true that kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.
Like most people from the West, I was first introduced to kung fu through Hong Kong action films. Stars like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan made kung fu popular in the Western world. The flashy(炫酷的) and impressive performances they gave in films like Rumble In The Bronx and Enter The Dragon made them household names in the US and elsewhere.
However, my own personal interest in kung fu was actually inspired by a hip-hop group. Wu-Tang Clan(“武当派’’), founded in the early 1990s in New York City, is one of the most influential(有影响力的) hip-hop groups in history.
In their songs, they sometimes mention philosophical concepts(哲学理念) that come from wudang quan—the style of Chinese martial arts from which they take their name—and the Shaolin Monastery. I was just a teenager when I first started listening to Wu-Tang Clan—little did I know that I would actually end up living in China later in my life!
I myself do not practice kung fu. However, the concepts behind it are quite interesting to me. There is a Bruce Lee quote that I often think of when I’m struggling with challenges in life. Be formless...shapeless, like water,” he once said. By this, he meant that you should be ready to adapt(调整) and change your attitudes or beliefs when you face difficulties. I think this is a good way to deal with life.
28. What makes the writer interested in Kung fu?
A. Famous Hong Kong action films.
B. A Chinese friend in New York City.
C. A hip-hop group called Wu-Tang Clan.
D. Film stars like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan.
29. What can we learn about Wu-Tang Clan according to the passage?
A. It isn’t influenced by Chinese culture.
B. It was founded in the early 1990s in New York.
C. It makes kung fu quite popular in the Western world.
D. It is one of the most popular hip-hop groups in China.
30. In the writer’s opinion, which may be a good way to deal with life?
A. Practice Kung fu to relax yourselves.
B. Be ready to take on new challenges anytime.
C. Listen to Wu-Tang Clan when you feel stressed.
D. Change your attitudes or beliefs when facing difficulties.

When Charlotte Bronte wrote Jane Eyre in 1847, she chose a strong woman character. At this time in history, women were thought to be very emotional beings(感情冲动的生物). They were only suitable as wives or teachers. Bronte wanted to show a different side of women.
In the novel, Jane is a poor, quiet orphan who has to live with her aunt and cousins. They are very strict with her and treat her awfully. Her cousin John in particular hates her. After one serious fight with him, Jane is sent to a strict boarding school. There she discovers her love for learning although she’s treated in the cruel way. When she turns 18, she leaves the school. She is asked to go to Thornfield Hall to educate a little French girl named Adele. She is the ward(受监护人) of the master of the house named Mr. Rochester. He is a very wealthy and mysterious man. At first Jane does not like Mr. Rochester. She finds him moody and unkind. But they start to grow closer and eventually fall in love. Mr. Rochester wants to marry Jane, and she accepts.
Their wedding day is anything but happy. It is said that Rochester is already married. He does not love the woman, Bertha, who is mad. But to keep her out of a mental hospital, he keeps her in a room of Thornfield Hall. Jane feels sad about that and runs away from Thornfield. She walks slowly around for days without food or money. She is finally taken in by two cousins, Diana and Mary, and their unfeeling older brother St. John.
He finds Jane a job as a teacher in a nearby village. St John decides to go to India as a missionary(传教士) and asks Jane to accompany him as his wife. Jane does not love St. John, so she refuses. One night she hears Mr. Rochester’s voice calling to her. She hurries back to Thornfield Hall only to discover it has been burned to the ground. Bertha loses her life during the fire, and Mr. Rochester loses his sight. She seeks him out, and they rebuild their relationship. They get married, have a son and live happily ever after.

When we see babies or pets, we can’t help gently touching them to show our love. And they give us happy feelings back. But a recent study shows that it’s different for plants.
A study, published in The Plant Journal, shows that plants don’t “like” to be touched. That’s because touching changes their genes (基因) and, even worse, can slow their growth.
Professor Jim Whelan of the La Trobe Institute in Australia gave an explanation. “The lightest touch from a human, animal, insect, or even plants touching each other in the wind, leads to a huge gene change in the plant,” Science Daily reported.
In order to test the theory, the scientists did an experiment on plants. They grew a number of plants to the age of four weeks. Then they touched them with a paintbrush every 12 hours over a 36-hour period.
They found that as a response to the touch, the mitochondria (线粒体) in the plants had been partly destroyed. The mitochondria, as Science Alert noted, are the “powerhouse of the cell. The mitochondria produce energy for the rest of the cell in both animals and plants.
If this “powerhouse” is weakened, the plants will lose a large amount of energy that should have supported their growth.
Whelan further explained to Science Daily, “If the touching is repeated, then plant growth is reduced by up to 30 percent.”
Although the process does have a strong effect on plants, usually the plants survive. Touching changes the plants, but it’s not necessarily a bad change.
According to Science Alert, frequent touching or moving plants will make them grow shorter than other ones.
The researchers believe this change, in some ways, could be helpful. It may help plants fight threats to their health such as insects and bad weather.
The new research findings have led to a deeper understanding of the plants’ response to touching. And the research might “open up new ways to reduce sensitivity (敏感性) and optimize (优化) growth in the future”, Science Alert reported.
34. Why don’t plants like to be touched?
A. Plants’ genes will be changed.
B. Plants will grow much taller than others.
C. Plants growth will be reduced by up to 40 percent.
D. Plants will lose the ability to fight against bad weather.
35. What does the underlined word “weakened” in Paragraph 6 possibly mean?
A. Becoming stronger. B. Becoming less strong.
C. Becoming less changeable. D. Becoming more changeable.
36. What can we get from the new research?
A. A new way to increase sensitivity in the future.
B. A totally bad and strong influence on plants’ growth.
C. A wonderful method to help plants grow better and better.
D. A deeper understanding of the plants’ response to touching.
【答案】34. A 35. B 36. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一项最新的研究成果，即外界的触摸对植物而言是一种负担，会改变它们的基因，延缓成长。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文“That’s because touching changes their genes”可知，人们的触碰会改变植物的基因。故选A。
【35题详解】
词句猜测题。结合前后文“The mitochondria produce energy for the rest of the cell in both animals and plants”和“the plants will lose a large amount of energy that should have supported their growth”可知，线粒体会为植物提供能量，如果它被削弱了，植物会失去促进其生长的能量。故“weakened”有“变弱”之意。故选B。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文“The new research findings have led to a deeper understanding of the plants’ response to touching”可知，新的研究结果使人们对这些植物对触摸的反应有了更深入的了解。故选D。

My mom’s life was a busy one. Raising four kids on her own was a full time job in itself, but she also worked outside the home. Surprisingly, she always seemed to find a little bit of extra time for us despite (不管) her schedule (预定计划).
She would take us over to my aunt’s in the evening when she worked as a waitress in a small diner. We would just be finished with school and have to hurry, so my mom would be on time for work. I thought she would pass us over to our aunt and hurry off as soon as we made it through the front gate, but that didn’t happen. Instead, we would sit on the porch (门廊), my mom in her waitress uniform, and we would rock in my aunt’s big wooden swing (秋千) and talk about what happened that day.
“I learned how to add numbers up to the hundreds,” my sister Sandy would say.
“That’s wonderful,” my mom would reply, holding her tight.
“I learned how to write my name!” Larry, my younger brother, would shout.
My mom would get a piece of paper and a pencil out of her purse and hand it to my brother. “Show me how you do it,” she’d ask softly.
“Do you have enough time to hear what I did today?” I’d ask her.
Mom would smile at me and nod. “I’m never too busy for something important like that!”
She gave us the gift of time again and again throughout the years. Later on in her life, when she came to live with us after her retirement (退休), my mom gave the gift of time to my children too. They would run around excitedly, asking their grandma if she would play with them, or read them a story, or go for a walk with them. By then my mom had health problems, but she would always nod and sit down and read to them or tell them stories about when she was a little girl. Those moments were a wonderful gift that my children still talk about and treasure.
In the last few years of her life, I would take her to lunch or sit with her on the porch, and we would talk about the past, the dream of the future, and just enjoy being with each other. My mom would listen as I shared all of my hopes, my fears, and my dreams for my family. I would look at her and ask her if she minded me taking up so much of her free time.
“Nonsense,” she’d tell me. Then she’d give me a wink and say, “I’m never too busy to spend time with you. It’s one of the greatest joys of my life.”
I will always remember those wonderful words and the loving heart behind them. It is a gift my mom give to me for which I will forever be grateful. In this busy world of ours, and in a life filled with challenges, she always had time to share her joy with me.

五、阅读填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）
任务型阅读（每空一个单词）
“Don’t judge a book by its cover,” the old saying goes. Unluckily, as a teenager, that is often exactly what you do to yourself. Dark thoughts about your physical appearance can hang over you all the time like a rain cloud. Do I look fat in these jeans? Do others think I am too short? These thoughts can have a negative(消极的) influence on people of any shape or size, both male and female, and it is important to guard against the causes behind them.
Standards of beauty in the media can have a big influence on what you think of your physical appearance. Teens who try to copy the looks of their favourite stars are fighting a losing battle—these standards are simply impossible for most of the population to live up to. They will only end up feeling worse about themselves.
Your friends also influence the way you view your physical appearance. If you have friends who are good-looking or have a great fashion sense, it can feel like you are living in their shadow. For children of digital age, social media makes this problem even worse. Your friends may post a “never ending” series of photos online to show off their beautiful dresses or strong bodies, and it becomes easier for you to compare yourself to them. This has proved to have a negative effect on what you think of your physical appearance.
These external influences are always present, but there are certainly ways to deal with them. First of all, be careful not to follow popular beauty standards blindly. They are out of reach for 99% of us, so it is better to just forget about them.
Another tip is to remind yourself that you are unique(独一无二的). Keep in mind that your family and friends love you just the way you are. Talk about your feelings with someone you trust. Focusing on your strength also helps you build your confidence. Everyone has their own talents—you may be good at painting or playing the piano, so take pride in things you do well instead of worrying about things you cannot change.
You may often judge yourself by what is on the outside, not on the inside. However, like a book, your contents are much more important than your cover. If you can learn to see the good things about yourself—your individuality, your value to others, your achievements—you will soon begin to love yourself just the way you are.
