This year it falls on March 8.Ancient people believed that after this day, rainfall increases because the rain-bringing Dragon King has awakened from his winter sleep. A well-known phrase g oes, “Er yue er, long tai tou,” meaning, “On the second day of the second month, the dragon lifts his head.”The festival celebrates ancient agrarian Chinese culture, and while some of traditional ways to celebrate it are no longer practiced, others continue to exist.The most famous tradition is getting a haircut. Some believe that going to the barber on this day gets rid of bad luck, while others believe getting a haircut during the first month of the lunar calendar brings bad luck.Another saying warns that cutting your hair in the first month will cause your uncle to die. Although today few pay attention to it, it was once a tradition to line up outside barber shops on the day of Longtaitou.People eat toufu balls in East China’s Fujian province during th e festival, and often make tofu and vegetable balls to pray for family and business. Fried beans are the traditional festival food for people in parts of Shandong province. Eating Chengyao cakes, which are made with sticky rice, during the festival is a tr adition in Suzhou, East China’s Jiangsu province, owing to the saying, “If you eat C hengyao on Longtaitou, your waist won't hurt all year.”Meanwhile other foods, like dumplings, spring rolls and popcorn, are named after dragon body parts to mark the day. Noodles are dragon’s beard (long xu), dumplings are dragon’s ears (long er), spring rolls are dragon’s scales (long lin), and popcorn dragon seeds (long zi).4. What did ancient people believe after Dragon-Head-Raising Festival?A. The dragon lifts his head.B. There’s more rainfall.C. The dragon is still sleeping.D. There’s less rainfall.5. What does the underlined word “agrarian” mean in Paragraph 3?A. agriculturalB. industrialC. travellingD. manufacturing6. What do people eat in Suzhou during the festival?A. Toufu balls.B. Fried beans.C. Chengyao cakes.D. Dumplings.7. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. The history and development of China's Longtaitou Festival.B. Cut your hairs on China's Longtaitou Festival.C. The culture and traditions of China's Longtaitou Festival.D. Food about China's Longtaitou Festival.CEvery day, Americans throw away 500 million plastic straws, enough to circle the Earth twice, or fill 125 school buses. Made from fossil fuels, they are almost never recycled because they're too small and could be made from several different types of plastic. They simply contribute to the massive problem of plastic pollution. Eight million tons of plastic is dumped into the oceans every year.Plastic straws are now the target of a growing movement to reduce their use. Possibly the first of such campaigns, Be Straw Free was started in 2011 by Milo Cress, who was only nine years old at the time. “I noticed that whenever I ordered a drink at a restaurant it would usually come with a straw in it, and I don't usually need a straw,”he said. “This seemed like a huge waste.”Cress started asking restaurants in Burlington, Vermont, where he lived at the time, to stop providing straws automatically to customers and make them optional instead. Many agreed and his request had an effect nationwide.The anti-straw campaign has crossed borders into the UK, where straws have been included in a government plan to ban all plastic waste by 2042.Offering alternatives or making plastic straws optional, rather than banning them completely, is a common characteristic among these campaigns. “We do not want to make people feel bad for needing or even wanting to use a straw in their drink,” said Jackie Nunez, founder of The Last Plastic Straw. “There are many other practical alternatives to single-use plastic drinking straws that are less harmful to the environment, wildlife and humans.” she said.Some people use straws to reduce the damage of sugary or acidic drinks to their teeth, or due to special requirements. By not regarding the straw as an evil, Cress says, “I am not out to ban straws. I think it's much more effective to encourage people to make the choice not to use them. V oluntary participation encourages people to spread the word. Forcing people to do things is not always the most effective way to make a change.”8. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. Plastic straws are not worth recycling.B. Small plastic straws are a serious problem.C. Eight million tons of plastic are recycled from straws.D. Americans like to transport plastic straws in school buses.9. Which one of the following statements about Milo Cress is true?A. He founded Be Straw Free to ban plastic straws.B. He expected England to ban all plastic waste by 2042.C. He asked American restaurants to stop providing straws.D. He may be the first to launch activities for using less straws.10. What’s Jackie’s attitude toward banning straws totally?A. Tolerant.B. Sympathetic.C. Approving.D. Opposed.11. What can we learn from Cress’s words in the last paragraph?A. Straws are healthy to our teeth.B. It is a better goal to forbid using plastic straws.C. Whether plastic straws are used depends on customers.D. People need to be forced to give up using plastic straws.DEven the calm assessment of the UN’s latest annual world “water development report” has a taste of desperation. Already, it notes, 1.9bn people, with 73% of them in Asia, live in areas where water is potentially severely limited. The number facing shortages almost doubles if you count those at risk at least one month a year. And they will not just be in poor countries. Australia, Italy, Spain and even America will also suffer severe water shortage.Three main things will drive the continued growth in demand: population, climate change and agriculture. In 2050 the number of people in the world is expected to increase to between 9.4bn and 10.2bn, from just under 8bn now. People will be leading more water-consuming lifestyles and move into cities, many of them in places at great risk of water shortage.The impact of climate change, in the words of Henk Ovink, a Dutch government’s official on water matters, will be “Wet places will become wetter and dry places drier”. The world’s water distribution is already highly unequal. Climate change will worsen this inequity.Measurements of sea temperatures down to 2,000 metres show a steady rise since the 1950s, to new records. The rising temperatures are accompanied by rising sea levels—at a rate of about 3mm a year—as the warmer water expands, and as ice at both poles melts. And warmer air temperatures mean the atmosphere can hold more water that eventually falls as rain.The bigger problem from climate change, however, will not be too much water but too little. As a report by the World Bank puts it: “The impacts of water shortage may be even greater, causing long-term harm in ways that are poorly understood and inadequately documented.” Of course, a lot depends on how much the climate changes and how fast.12. What may be the number of the people who face water shortage for at least one month a year?A. About 1.9bnB. About 1.4bnC. About 3.7bnD. About 5.5bn13. What can we infer about the year 2050?A. The problem of water shortage will no longer exist.B. The world population will increase to between 9bn and 10bn.C. Almost all the developed countries will suffer severe water shortage.D. Many people will have to reduce their water consumption.14. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?A. Climate change brings too much water.B. Sea temperatures have been rising steadily recently.C. The problem of water shortage is greater due to climate change.D. Rising sea levels and more rain mean no more water shortage.15. The next paragraph in this passage might discuss __________.A. How to solve the problem of water shortage.B. How agriculture influences water demand.C. What damage water shortage has caused.D. Why it is important to control population growth.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I was so happy Then the guilt hit.My younger brother was born blind. If his blindness ever weighed him down, he never let it show. But I grew up carrying the weight of it on my shoulders. When my first husband died of cancer, I kept asking myself why I got to go on living and he didn't.The problem with blaming ourselves for things that aren't our fault is that it blinds us to beauty and numbs （使麻木 ) us to life. It hurts, not just us, but everyone close to us. And yet how do we make it stop?I still don't know the answer to this, but what I've learned so far is: Guilt is a feeling begging to be an action. It doesn't want you to feel bad. It wants you to move.So I do. I try to act in a way that turns guilt into honor. To honor my brother, I try to see everything he can't. To honor my late husband, I try to be alive in ways he used to be. I delight in family, friends, people in general, and all the crazy things they do. And I say "yes" to every chance I get to learn and be alive.Instead of addicting to guilt, I see for someone who will never see. And I live well for someone who is no longer alive. I do it for them. But mostly I do it for me. It's not easy to see the world with all its glories and faults, or to be alive in all the ways life demands. But it's a lot more fun than feeling bad.5. What does the underlined word "It" in paragraph 5 refer to?A.Beauty.B.Action.C.Life.D.Guilt.6. What does blaming ourselves bring about?A. Letting us enjoy beauty.B. Objecting to others for everything.C. Hurting people around us.D. Making us feel delighted in everything.7. What is the author's attitude towards her life?A. Doubtful.B. Guilty.C. Indifferent.D.

A robot is a mechanical invention that is able to be programmed to carry out tasks. Essentially, robots are machines that can do basic jobs all on their own. Robots have become more advanced over the years, being able to carry out more complicated functions than before. Even though robotics is a technological branch of study, it also borrows information from engineering and the sciences as well. Robots are automated, meaning they carry out different operations on their own.So far, we know now that robotics is a branch of study. This branch focuses on robots and programming them to carry out different functions. However, what is still unclear is what robots are used for.Robots carry out tasks that were previously orchestrated by humans. Robots were designed to take over jobs that were very repetitive and even jobs that posed great threats and dangers. By collecting basic parts together and even carrying out tasks that put human life at risk, robots have been created to make life easier for humankind. Because of the success of this field of study, space agencies now use robots to explore the moon, Mars, and other parts of space.There seem to be many advantages of robotics but there are disadvantages as well. To design, assemble, and programme a robot takes time as well as expertise. Robotics is a very expensive branch of technology so any faults or malfunctions（故障） can be very costly in the long run.Robots also can make human input unnecessary. Robots seem to have overtaken some employment that was only for people. This has resulted in job loss. However, robots have only undertaken jobs that were unfit and unsafe for people to do. The costing has been listed as the biggest disadvantage for robotics.9. What do we learn about Robotics from the text?A. It's an area related to engineering and science.B.
