We understood each other like no one else, probably because we were so much alike. Both of us were hard-working, creative and very stubborn.My dad was the smartest person I know. He knew how to build a house, how to paint them and how to fix almost everything. He loved music and played the trombone(长号) his whole life. My favorite moment with my dad was our playing duets(二重奏) together--- he would play the trombone while I played the piano.Every month we’d go on a “date” and would go to dinner, then go shopping or sightseeing. The entire night he would talk about his younger days when he and my mom were dating. He’d go on for hours just talking, but I didn’t mind as I knew he loved his wife and wanted to share his memories with his only daughter.My dad was someone that always made my day better. When I came home from school after being teased for being the overweight kid, my dad would always state how pretty,smart or talented his daughter was. I’m not sure how I would have made it through my teen years without such a loving dad. He always made people laugh with his jokes and would give the biggest hugs.I knew for quite a while that I didn’t have much time with my dad as he had been slowly losing his health. There is nothing worse in this world than watching someone you love so much slowly slip away and not being able to do a thing about it. Nothing prepared me for the day when my dad told the doctors that he didn’t want to suffer in the hospital any more and wanted to go home. The final month with him was spent wondering if today was “the day”. It was difficult for me to sleep each night wondering if, when I woke up, my dad would be gone. But my dad always kept a positive attitude and smiled to everyone all the way. Therefore, I also began to face it bravely.4. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?A. Dad was a music-lover.B.

Daughter was worried about her dad’s worsening health.7. Which can best describe the tone in writing this passage?A. Warm but pessimistic.B. Happy and proud.C. Warm and optimistic.D. Happy but helpless.CFor many creatures, the ocean is a terrifying place. Several marine animals have declined as a result of overfishing and pollution. But cephalopods(头足动物) ---a type of invertebrate(无脊椎动物) that includes octopuses, cuttlefish, and squid, have seen a dramatic increase in their numbers over the past 60 years.Zoe Doubleday, a scientist at the University of Adelaide, in Australia, conducted a study of cephalopods recently. She points out that their population rise is due to the animals’ unique traits.The creatures can change their color and body shape. They are fast-growing and live for only one or two years. “This allows them to adapt to changing environmental conditions more quickly than other marine species,” Doubleday says.“Rising sea temperatures may be speeding up the animals’life cycle. They may be growing faster and producing more young.”Cephalopods live in all of the world’s oceans. They can be found in waters from the freezing polar regions to the warm tropic regions. Because they adapt so easily to their environment, the animals are called “the weed of the sea”.Will octopuses, cuttlefish, and squid take over the world one day? Some people may wonder. According to Doubleday, that is unlikely. The rise in cephalopod populations could slow down if the animals run out of pray(猎物) and start feeding on one another. Overfishing could also have an impact on their numbers.For now, the cephalopod population boom is good news for them and some other sea creatures. “Increases in cephalopod populations could benefit predators(掠食性动物) such as marine mammals and seabirds, which rely on cephalopods for food, ”Doubleday says.8. What has caused the number of some marine animals to reduce?A. Ship transportation.B. Global oil production.C. Rising sea temperatures.D. Overfishing and pollution9. The underlined word “traits” in Paragraph 2 probably means “”.A . habits B. features C. hobbies D. looks10. According to Doubleday, cephalopods .A. have a very long life cycleB. change their shapes with seasonC. prefer to live in the warm watersD. adapt to the environment quickly11. Which would be the best title of the text?A. CephalopodsB. Weed of the seaC. Who will take over the world?D. The problems faced by marine animalsDIn the second or third century, Chinese calligraphy(书法) was introduced to Korea, and developed rapidly during the seventh century when many calligraphers and calligraphic scripts appeared. These scripts can be found on stone tablets, bronze bells and Buddhist scriptures.In the eighth century, Kim Shaing became Korea’s first calligrapher. He learned Chinese calligraphy when he was a child, and still practiced when he was in his 80s. He had a good command of both the running and official scripts. None of his original works survive, but his characters were included in three kinds of copybooks of tablets inscriptions, the earliest intact(完好无损的) calligraphic work found in Korea today, one of which is his tablet running-script handwriting of Poem on Lushan Waterfall, a poem by Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty.In the seventh century, Chinese calligraphy also reached Japan. In 615, a Japanese prince made a copy of Explanation of Lotus Sutra（《妙法莲花经》）with a soft writing brush, the earliest extant(现存的) handwriting in Japan today. The characters are smooth and harmonious, and represent a script on Jin Dynasty.In the eighth century, Sino-Japanese cultural exchanges developed, and Japan sent many officials, students and monks to China, who lived in China for long periods of time. When they went back to their own country, they took with them many calligraphic works, especially works by Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi of the Jin Dynasty, and Ouyang Xun and Yan Zhenqing of the Tang Dynasty. Japanese Mitsuaki studied the style of Wang Xizhi, and became a well-known calligrapher in her own right. In the coming centuries, works by the calligraphers of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties were introduced to Japan. In the late 19th century, Yang Shoujing, who was an envoy(使节) from the Qing Dynasty to Japan and an expert on bronze and stone inscriptions, took a number of copybooks of stone inscriptions of the Northern Wei Dynasty to Japan, which influenced the style of Japanese calligraphy.12. In which century did Chinese calligraphy begin to advance in Korea?A. The second.B. The third.C. The seventh.D. Theeighth.13. We learn from Paragraph 2 that Kim Shaing .A. was the first Korean calligrapher about 1200 years agoB. began to learn Chinese calligraphy carefully at the age of 80C. was perfectly familiar with two forms of Chinese calligraphyD. wrote a very famous poem called Poem on Lushan Waterfall14. Who took some calligraphic works from China to Japan?A. Wang Xizhi.B. Yan ZhenqingC. Kim ShaingD. Yang Shoujing.15. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Chinese Calligraphy Spreads AbroadB. Chinese Calligraphy Is Rapidly DevelopedC. Chinese Calligraphy Goes on a Cultural ExchangeD.
