AThere was a park near my home. But I didn’t go there very often. Many people said there was nothing special. One afternoon, I went into the park and found it was really small. I walked quickly because there wasn’t much to see. I walked for some time and found myself standing in front of two paths. “Which way should I go?〞I asked myself. I looked at one way, then the other. I found that the two paths were different from each other.The left one was wide and clean. There were lots of flowers on both sides of the path. Though they weren’t that beautiful, they made me feel good. I decided to take this path. But wait! I looked at the right one. The path didn’t look nice. It was narrow and dirty. It looked as if it had not been cleaned for months. Grass grew everywhere. For a long time, I couldn’t make up my mind. After a while a strange feeling made me follow the dirty path. It wasn’t nice, but I didn’t want to give up. At last, I came to the end of the path.Ah! There was a small garden there. It was beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful garden I had ever seen. There were trees, flowers and chairs. I thought it was the nicest part of the park. Many people told me that there was nothing much to see in the park. Now I’d like to tell them that if they had followed the right way, they would have felt differently. But when I told them about what I had seen in the park,they just smiled at me without saying a word. I knew they didn’t believe me. They couldn’t even remember that pa th because it was too small.My trip to the park that day made me understand something about life. Don’t be afraid to choose a different path. You may get a big surprise!1. What does the first paragraph tell us?A. The park is near the author’s home.B. The author doesn’t like the park.C. The author doesn't know which path to choose.D. There were few people in the park.2. Which path did the author decide to take at last?A. The left one.B. The right one.C. The clean one.D. The long way.3. What was the people’s attitude towards the author when he told the truth to them?A. DoubtfulB. AcceptableC. UnknownD. Thankful4. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. There is a park near the author’s home and he often goes th ere.B. The author was familiar with the two ways.C. There was a small garden in the park but really beautiful.D. Choosing a different path in life may get to the same end.BBack in 2021, French director Jean-Jacques Annaud returned to his home in France after finishing making a film in the Sahara. There, from a large number of books his friends had mailed to him, Annaud picked up Wolf Totem, a novel by a Chinese author.After almost six years of the film making, Wolf Totem started to be shown throughout China on February 19, 2021.Nowadays in China, most people have got to know that it’s important to protect grasslands and get along well with nature. Annaud said that he was touched by the author’s concerns about the worse and worse environment which has widely influenced the Chinese public and the novel is becoming more and more popular.The film Wolf Totem is about environmental problems because they not only existin China, Annaud said, adding that many EU members and the United States have also had to deal with these serious problems. According to him, the film shows a message about the importance of a pleasant relationship between man and nature.Both man and the wolf need a good environment to live in, Annaud said. Feng Shaofeng, who played Chen Zhen in the film, was also allowed to raise and train the wolves, so that he could get to know the animals. “Wolves will never accept humans as their master as dogs do; they treat us as friends,〞 Feng said.5. Where does Annaud come from?A. China.B. England.C. France.D. United States.6. When did they begin to make the film Wolf Totem?A. In 2021.B. In 2021.C. In 2021.D. In 2021.7. What does the film show?A. Humans can become the wolves’ master.B. It’s important for humans to live in pea ce with nature.C. Humans are stronger than the forces of nature.D. China has serious environmental problems.CDictionaries are not closed books. There is still plenty of room for more words in them. New words are being created and added to our language. And many of today's word experts can thank a famous Englishman for his creation of the way in which they develop many new words. His name was Charles L. Dodgson. Besides working with numbers, Dodgson wrote books. His stories and poems have made Dodgson popular with a lot of readers. We know him, however, not by the name of Dodgson but by his pen name, Lewis Carroll.Lewis Carroll has made so many readers happy, young and old, with Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, and a lot of poems. In these works, Carroll developed lots of words such as "chortle" and "galumph". Many of these words are combined naturally with more common words in the English language. Carroll referred to his made-up words as "portmanteau" words, named after a kind of leather suitcase that opens into two parts. The name was just right for Carroll's words, because mostof his words had two parts. They were usually made from the combined parts of two different words. A "snark", for example, clearly came from a snake and a shark.Although Carroll died long ago, his way to create new words continues to be used today. We clearly see his influence in such words as “smog〞and “brunch〞.8. What does the underlined sentence probably mean according to the passage?A. Dictionaries are open to the public.B. Dictionaries are helpful to the public.C. New words can be added to dictionaries.D. The words in dictionaries are always changing.9. From the passage, we know that Charles L. Dodgson was also good at______.A. mathB. actingC. teachingD. music10. Dodgson's made-up words were____.A. made from different wordsB. borrowed from other languagesC. all come from his poemsD. are still widely used11. This passage is mainly about______.A. how Dodgson wrote his worksB. how English words are createdC. how a dictionary is writtenD. how Dodgson created new wordsDHave you visit any famous museums? Many famous museums throughout the world can offer you good chances to enjoy art. Florida International University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see, but it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.FIU has opened the first computer art museum in the United States. You don’t have to visit the University to see the art. What you need is just a computer connected to a telephone. That’s enough.You can call the telephone number of a University computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is in the school computer. It is computer art, produced by artists on their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their work. A computer artist could only record his pictures on the computer and send the records to others to see on their computers. He could also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist will have to need a very expensive printer(打印机).Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr Shostak said the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have an audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean huge audience for the electronic museum.12. The main purpose of this text is to give information about____________.A. famous museums throughout the worldC. art exhibitions in Florida International UniversityD. the latest development in computer art in the USA13. To see the art in FIU museum, which of the following should you have at first?A. Some recordsB. A computer and a printerC. Your own pictures and drawingsD. A computer connected by a telephone line14. The museum was started when ___________.A. FIU wanted to encourage computer scientistsB. Robert Shostak decided to help computer artistsC. art students needed a place to show their worksD. computer scientists wanted to do something about art15. The words “an audience〞 in the last paragraph refers to ___________.A. art studentsB. computer ownersC. exhibits in the museumD. those who will enjoy art第二节〔一共5小题，每一小题2分，满分是10分〕根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

第一部分阅读理解第一节（共15个小题，每小题3分，满分45分）AI am Steve. I was born and grew up in South Wales. My favorite place to pl ay was out on the hills where my imagination had plenty of space to expand(拓展).My family moved out of Wales when I was thirteen. I went to a new school. One of my subjects was French. Because I had never learned any French， my teac her told me to sit in the corner and write anything I was interested in. That’s the time I started writing，just for myself，and I’ve been writing ever since.I have always loved BIG IDEAS，and so I enjoy writing fantastic stories. An d I also write horror(恐怖的)stories. I think they are like the old fairytales (童话故事)， and can teach you important things.I am in my forties on the outside， twelve on the inside. I like rock musi c， Indian and Chinese food，and I enjoy drinking. I live in a small village wi th my wife Mary， ducks， cats， goats，hens and lots of rabbits. If you’d li ke to find out more about me and hope to buy my books， go to www.sbowkett.free .1． He liked playing out on the hills because he could ________.A. expand his imaginationB. learn FrenchC. listen to storiesD. buy some books2．Maybe the writer is________years old now.A. 12B. 22C. 32D. 423． According to the passage， the writer keeps ________.A. cats， hens and pigsB. ducks， goats and rabbitsC. hens， rabbits and dogsD. rabbits， pigs and catsBMost musicians agree that the best violins were first made in Gremona, Italy, about 200 years ago.These violins sound better than any others. They even sound better than violins made today.Violin makers and scientists try to make instruments(乐器) like the Italian violins. But they aren’t the same. Musicians still prefer the old ones.Some people think it is the age of the violins. But not all old violins from Gremona are special. So age cannot be the answer.The people think the secret to those violins is the wood. The wood must be from certain kinds of trees. But the kind of wood may not be so important. It may be moreimportant to cut the wood in a special way. Wood for a violin must be cut very carefully. It has to be the right size and shape. The smallest difference will change the sound of the violin. Musicians sometimes think that this was the secret of the Italians. Maybe they understood more than we do about how to cut the wood.Size and shape may not be the answer either. Scientists can make new ones that are exactly the same size and shape. But the new violins still do not sound as good as the old ones. Some scientists think the secret may be the varnish（漆）. Varnish is what covers the wood of the violin. It makes the wood shiny. It also helps the sound of the instrument. But no one knows what the Italian makers used in their varnish.4.The passage is about .A. making violinsB. scientific ideasC. the old Italian violinsD. musical instruments5. Musicians think that modern violins .A. will sound better and better in the futureB. will sound worse and worse in the futureC. sound less wonderful than the old Italian onesD. sound really the same as the old Italian ones6.

Violins made today .A. can be the same shape as the old onesB. sound the same as the old onesC. are a bit better than the old onesD. have the same varnish as the old onesCA friend of mine named Paul receive an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present．On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office，a street urchin(顽童) was walking around the shining car．“Is this your car，Paul？”he asked． Paul answered，“Yes，my brother gave it to me for Christmas．”The boy was surprised．“You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you anything？Boy，I wish…”He hesitated(犹豫)．Of course，Paul knew what he was going to wish for．His wish was that he would have a b rother like that. But the boy’s words greatly surprised Paul“I wish,” the boy went on，“that I could be a brother like that．”Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car？”“Oh yes，I’d love to．”After a short ride，the boy turned and with his eyes shining，said，“Paul，would you mind driving in front of my house？”Paul smiled a little．He thought he knew what the boy wanted．He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are？ the boy asked．He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast.

Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the worldYears later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. But the desk,” she’d said again, “ is for Elizabeth.”I never saw her get angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me，she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happened.As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive（原谅） me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace, it seemed that nothing happened.I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told me, as she had never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work.Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.12. What did the writer fail to do when she was young？A. Have a heart-to-heart talk with her mother.B. Have her mother’s desk.C. Have her mother’s good habit .D. Write a letter to her mother.13. Why did the writer write to her mother ?A. She missed her mother .B. Her mother lived far away .C.

The sister .七选五We spend so much time waiting to be loved, hoping love will find us, and looking for that special love．Unfortunately, that’s not usually how life works. To be loved, you should love and respect yourself as much as you do others. In order to love someone, you should love yourself．●Sto p comparing yourself to others．16．We all have different gifts．When you compare yourself to others for what they have, whether it is a car, a house, or a job, it makes you feel bad about yourself. Really be grateful about everything you have. Gratitude keeps your heart open to love．●Practice receiving love. To truly love is to be able to receive it. When someone loves you, does some kind deeds to you, or says kind words, accept it．17．Know that you are worthy of love. It is important to accept a gift of love by others.You give yourself a chance to learn more about yourself that you are lovable．18．●19．Write about your experiences, good and bad. When you write down good experiences, allow yourself to feel those feelings. When you remember bad experiences, allow yourself to feel self-compassion.
