One cannot discuss Chinese music without mentioning the Chinese seven-string zither (七弦琴) , also known as the guqin, one of the four arts - along with go, calligraphy and painting. It first appeared over 3, 000 ago and represents China's solo musical instrument tradition.At first, the gugin had only five strings, representing the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Later. in the Zhou dynasty, King Wen of Zhou added a sixth string for his son, King Wu of Zhou, added a seventh string to encourage his army to fight with the Shang.Ambience (环境气氛) was important in playing the Chinese zither. Usually, it was practised in quiet setting and never for public performance.Ancient artists enjoyed performing by a stream in the mountains. The sound of the quqin mixed with the echoes (回音) from the mountains, until the musician found himself at one with nature. Playing it in snow was also a favorite pastime for ancient artists, who believed the instrument was the purest of its kind in the world. Also. a night with moonlight was considered ideal for Playing the guqin. Wang Wei (701-761), a highly talented man of the Tang dynasty, liked playing it in a bamboo forest on nights with moonlight most.Guqin pieces are usually around three to eight minutes long, with the longest being Guangling Verse, which is 22 minutes long. Other famous pieces include Plum Blossoms in Three Movements, Wild Geese Landing on the Sandbank and Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute.Nowadays, there are fewer than one thousand well-trained gugin players and perhaps no more than fifty living masters. The original number of several thousand pieces has greatly reduced to only a hundred works by today. The guqin and its music was added to the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (人类非物质文化遗产) in 2003.Title: The Guilin and Its MusicMain Parts Detailed informationIntroduction to the guqin ●As one of the four arts, it has a (36) of 3, 000 years and representsChina's solo musical instrument tradition.The strings ●At first, there were five strings, which represented five elements.●Later, kings in the Zhou dynasty added (37) more strings to them.The ambience ●In quiet setting, not for public performance.1.

found wordsPoetry（诗歌）is the forgotten child of literature．Few people read it for pleasure．In Western highschools， poetry is seldom taught because it is considered to be out of date and have little to do with the life of today's students．In China． however． poetry is still an important part of the curriculum（课程）． Recently，the Ministry of Education has increased the number of ancient Chinese poems for students to memorize and recite， from 14to 72． Why is it important to learn poems？First of all， poetry is a necessary part of learning traditional Chinese culture． It is a path to understanding your history and your society． It is also the key to understanding the thoughts and feelings that are common to everyone but that we may be unable to express-the joy of Li Bai dancing with the moon，for example．Everyone has feelings of joy，love，loneliness，sadness and even anger， and a good poem can put those feelings into words and bring us self-understanding．Poems can also express beauty． In a few short lines， even something common can become beautiful． Here is a poem called Fog by Carl Sandberg： The fog comes/on silent haunches（弓腰）/and then moves on．Yes，fog does move smoothly，silently and like a cat，and Sandberg catches that feeling and image（形象）， and makes it beautiful．Of course， to really enjoy poetry， it has to be read aloud． After all， a poem is really just a song without music．Most ancient poetry，like Homer's Epics（《荷马史诗》）and China's Book of Songs， was spoken for hundreds of years before it was written．The American poet Robert Frost said， "Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words．" You are lucky that you now have seventy-two poems to learn!部分．诗歌是学习中国传统文化不可缺少的一部分．它是了解中国历史和社会的一条途径．它也是理解思想和感情的关键．诗歌也可以表达美．当然，要真正享受诗歌，就必须大声朗诵．【解答】1．different．考查搭配．句意"大多数人认为诗歌和当今学生的生活是__"．根据第二段because it is considered to be out of date and have little to dowith the life of today's students因为它被认为过时了，与今天学生的生活没有多大关系．可知，应该是be different from与…不同．固定搭配．填different．2．Reasons．考查名词．句意"学习诗歌的___"．根据表格第五行第二列Learning poems helps you…history and society学习诗有助于你…历史和社会．Poems help express your personal thoughts and feelings诗歌有助于表达你的个人思想感情．可知，应该是"原因"．不止一个原因．用复数Reasons．3．understand．考查动词．句意"学习诗有助于你___历史和社会"．根据第四段It is a path to understanding your history and your society它是一条了解你的历史和社会的途径．可知，应该是"了解"．help sb do sth帮助某人做某事．填动词原形understand．4．common．考查形容词．句意"诗歌可以用几行表达__事物的美"．根据倒数第三段Poems can also express beauty． In a few short lines， even something common can become beautiful诗歌也可以表达美，在短短的几行中，即使是普通的东西也会变得美丽．可知，应该是"普通的"．修饰名词things．用形容词common．5．Reading．考查动名词．句意"___是诗歌欣赏的最佳方式"．根据倒数第二段Of course， to really enjoy poetry， it has to be read aloud当然，要真正欣赏诗歌，就必须大声朗读．可知，应该是"朗读" read aloud．这里用动名词短语做主语．Read的动名词是Reading．【点评】阅读填空题型，要注重句子与句子之间、段落与段落之间逻辑关系以及对篇章的整体理解．根据要求，结合语境，找出关键句，运用正确的语法或适当的同义词写出答案．2017The Internet nowadays opens a wide world to people，including teenagers，but many parents worry that their children may meet with something unhealthy when searching online．In order to solve this problem，a new search engine for children called Kiddle has appeared．Search results are filtered（过滤），so only safe website are shown and descriptions are written in simple language．Searches with bad words are shut off，too．Kiddles uses the same colors as Google in its logo and a similar design on its homepage，too ﹣﹣with an extra robot picture．The top three Kiddle search results show safe websites and pages written specially for kids，and those websites and pages are well chosen and checked by Kiddle developers．The fourth to seventh results will be safe and trusted websites that are not written for adults．They provide expert content，but are harder for kids to understand．Unlike on Google，most results appear along with large thumbnail pictures（缩略图）to make it easier for children to find what they are looking for．For example，when searching for"meow meow"．Google produces pages for information about a drug（毒品）that has"meow meow"as its nickname（绰号），but Kiddle lists information only about cats，even with some cartoon pictures．The company explained，"Websites which appear in Kiddle search results satisfy family﹣friendly requirements，as we filter websites with unhealthy content．"Kiddle﹣a Child﹣Friendly Search EngineCharacteristics •Only safewebsites areshown．•Descriptionsare written insimplelanguage．•（36）Fewbad wordsappear．Logo It uses thesame colors asGoogle with arobot picture．Content The topthreesearchresultsWebsites andpages are written （37）specially for kids，after being well chosen and checked．The fourthto seventh resultsWebsites are also worth（38）trusting and have content written in a simple way．The eighth and onwards results Websites are safe and famous，written for adults，andthey are not（39）easyfor kids tounderstand．（40）Difference from Google •Kiddle hasmanythumbnailpictures．•Kiddle onlygives safeinformation．Advantage Kiddle satisfiesfamily﹣friendlyrequirements．【解答】36：Few 考查形容词．根据文中的第二段：Searches with bad words are shut off，too带有粗俗的话也将关闭，及提示可知用Few修饰可数名词复数表否定意义，故答案是Few．37：specially 考查副词，根据文中的第四段：The top three Kiddle search results show safe websites and pages written specially for kids可知打开的前三句是专门的为孩子们写的安全网页，修饰动词要用副词故答案是specially38：trusting 考查动词．根据文中的第五段：The fourth to seventh results will be safe and trusted websites that are not written for adults，可知trusted指被信任的，be worth trusting 值得信息，be worth doing，故答案是trusting．39：easy 考查形容词．根据文中的第六段：They provide expert content，but are harder for kids to understand．对于孩子们更难理解，结合句子结构用easy，与not构成否定的，不容易，与原文也相符，故答案是easy．40：Difference；考查名词．根据后面描述的是Kiddle与谷歌有区别的地方，也就是不同之处，故答案是用名词Difference．。

psychologists（心理学家）say this is one of the biggest mistakes that can cause great problems to children．However，if parents are a little gentler，the child may act successfully ﹣especially if the parents can support him．Michael Li is very lucky．He is very fond of music，and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and inviting a teacher to give him personal piano lessons．They even drive him 59kilometers twice a week for violin lessons．Although Michael's mother knows very little about music，Michael's father plays the piano very well．However，he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling．Michael's friend，Winston Chen，however，is not so lucky．Although both his parents are successful musicians，they set too high a standard for Winston．They want their son to be as successful a s they are，so they enter him in every piano compeition held．They are very unhappy when he does not win．"When I was at your age，I used to win every competition I entered，" Winston's father tells him．Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint（使失望）his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy．23．One of the worst mistakes any parent can make is to．A．pay much attention to their child's educationB．push the child into trying to achieve too muchC．make their child become a musicianD．help their child to succeed in the future24．Michael Li is lucky because．A．his father knows music and teaches him muchB．his parents are rich enough to support himC．his mother doesn't know much about musicD．his parents help him in a wise way25．The two examples show that．A．it is important to let children develop in their own wayB．it is successful to let children develop without others' helpC．successful parents often have unsuccessful childrenD．the more you help your children，the less they can achieve26．（6分）Can dogs and cats get along well in the same home？People who arethinking about getting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight．A recent research has found that if the cat is taken back home before the dog，and if they are introduced when still young （less than 6months for cats，a year for dogs），it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly．In two﹣thirds of the homes cats and dogs have a good relationship．However，it wasn't all sweetness and light．There was a reported coldness between the cat and the dog in 25% of the homes，while aggression （侵略，好斗）and fighting were found in 10% of the homes．One reason for this is probably that some of their body languages are just different．For example，when a cat turns its head away it means aggression，while a dog doing the same means submission （顺从）．In homes with cats and dogs living in peace，researchers found a surprising behavior．They are learning how to talk each other's language．It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk "Dog"，and dogs can learn how to talk "Cat"．What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to become smarter．They can learn to read each other's body languages，suggesting that the two may have more in common than was expected．Once familiar with each other's body language，cats and dogs can play together，and enjoy sleeping together on the sofaThe importance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets ﹣to people who don't get along well，including neighbors，workmates，and even countries．If cats and dogs can learn to get along，surely people have a good chance．26．The underlined word swimmingly in Paragraph 1is closest in meaning to．A．earlyB．mostlyC．quicklyD．smoothly27．Some cats and dogs may fight when．A．they are cold to each otherB．they look away from each otherC．they misunderstand each other's body languagesD．they are introduced at an early age28．What can we humans learn from cats and dogs？A．We should learn to get along well with others．B．We should know more about animals．C．We should live in peace with animals．D．We should learn more body languages．29．（6分）Maybe it is true that we do not know what we have got until we lose it，but it is also true that we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives．Giving someone all your love never means that they will love you back．Do not expect love in reurn；but if it does not，be glad it grows in yours．It takes an hour to like someone，and a day to love someone，but it takes a lifetime to forget someone．Do not depend on one's appearance，it may not be true．Do not depend on wealth，even that disappears slowly．Depend on someone who makes you smile，because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright．There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug（拥抱）them．Dream what you want to dream；go where you want to go；be what you want to be，because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do．May you have enough happiness to make you sweet，enough trials（尝试）to make you strong，enough sadness to keep you human，enough hope to make you happy．Always put yourself in others' shoes．If you feel that it hurts you，it probably hurts the other person，too．The happiest people do not necessarily give the best of everything；they just make the most of everything that comes along their way．Happiness waits for those who cry，those who have been hurt，those who have searched，and those who have tried，for only they can enjoy the importance of people who have touched their lives．The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past．You cannot go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off．When you were born，you were crying and everyone around you was smiling．Live your life so that when you die，you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying．29．If you put yourself in another's position（位置），．A．you should depend on wealthB．you shouldn't do those things that will hurt you and other peopleC．you will do what you want to do however dangerous it is to peopleD．you should depend on other people30．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A．If you give someone your love，you are sure that she will give her love to you in return．B．We often don't know what we have lost until it happens．C．If someone accepts your love and he doesn't give you his love in return，you should be angry with him．D．If it takes you an hour to love someone，you will easily forget her．31．In the last paragraph of the passage，the writer is actually telling us that a man in the world should be one who．A．can accept the suggestions made by othersB．can live happily and forget the pastC．does good to the people and wins their respectD．has made a lot of money for himself when he dies32．（8分）A popular saying goes，"Sticks and stones may break my bones，but words will never hurt me．" However，that's not really true．Words have the power to cheer us up or let us down．It doesn't matter whether the words come from someone else or ourselves ﹣the positive and negative （正面和负面）influences are just lasting．We talk to ourselves sometimes．We're usually too shy to admit（承认）it，though．In fact，we really shouldn't be because more and more scientists believetalking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit．This "self﹣talk" helps us make ourselves active，remember things，solve problems，and calm ourselves down．It is said that as much as 77% of self﹣talk is likely to be negative．So in order to stay positive，we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves．We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back．The next time you finish a project，do well in a test，or finally clean your room，join me in saying "Good job!"Often，words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the influence they will have．But we should realize that ou words cause certain influence in others．For example，when returning what we bought to a store，we might use warm，friendly language during the exchange．And the salesperson will probably answer in a similar manner．Otherwise you may get into trouble．Words have power because of their lasting influences．Many of us feel sorry for something we once said．And we remember unind words said to us! Before speaking，we should always ask ourselves：Is it true？Is it loving？Is it needed？If what we want to say doesn't pass this test，then it's better left unsaid．Words have power：both positive and negative．Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively．We can offer hope，build self﹣confidence and encourage others to do their best．Negative words destroy（毁坏）all those things．Will we use our words to hurt or to cure？The choice is ours．32．There is no need for us to feel shy when we talk to ourselves because．A．almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselvesB．talking to ourselves always gives us courageC．we may gain quite a few advantages of talking to ourselvesD．it does no harm to have "self﹣talk" when we are alone33．The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also in time．A．remind ourselvesB．praise ourselvesC．make ourselves relaxedD．give ourselves fun34．The writer would probably hold the view that．A．it is better to think twice before talking to othersB．negative words may encourage us to make more progressC．people prefer to remember friendly wordsD．encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers35．In which column（版面）of the newspaper can you most likely read this passage？A．News．B．Nature．C．Health．D．Culture．四、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题5分，满分9分）阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后的表格中填入恰当的单词，每空一词．36．（5分）Remembering names is an important social skill．Here are some ways to master it．Recite and repeat in conversation．When you hear a person's name，repeat it．Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips．You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial．Ask the other person to recite and repeat．You can let other people help you remember their names．After you've been introduced to someone，ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you．Most people will be pleased by the effort you're making to learn their names．Admit you don't know．Admitting that you can't remember someone's name can actually make people relaxed．Most o them will feel sympathy if you say，"I'm working to remember names better．Yours isright on the tip of my tongue．What is it again？"Use associations．Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual．For example，you could make a mental note，"Vicki Cheng ﹣﹣tall，black hair．" To reinforce the associations，write them on a small card as soon as possible．Limit the number of new names you learn at one time．When meeting a group of people，pay attention to remembering just two or three names．Free yourself from remembering every one．Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names．Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names．Last names can come later．Go early．Consider going early to conferences（会议），parties and classes．Sometimes just a few people show up on time．That's fewer names for you to remember．And as more people arrive，you can hear them being introduced to others ﹣an automatic review for you．（36）of remembering namesRecite and repeat in conversation．When you hear a person's name，say it several times．Remember （37）to move your lips．Ask the other person to recite and repeat．After others introduce you to someone，ask the person to spell the name and pronounce it in a （38）way．Admit you don't know You'd better say，"I'm working to remember namesbetter．Your name is right on the tip of m tongue．Whatis it again？"Use associations Link each person yon meet with one thing you findinteresting or unusual，e．g．Vicki Cheng ﹣tall，black hair．It means Vicki Cheng is a tall
