Paper cutting or tearing is a cultural tradition in China. For centuries, it has been passed down from one generation（一代人）to the next, especially from mothers to daughters. This beautiful art created by skillful artists is used to decorate（装饰）doors, ceilings, and beds in people’s homes, or at celebrations such as birthdays and weddings. At Chinese New Year, window flowers are glued to windows, creating beautiful patterns of light and shadow.
The two main techniques（技艺）used are cutting the paper using a knife or scissorsor tearing it by hand. If the paper is cut, the edges（边缘）are very smooth. Paper cutting can produce very fine and delicate work. This type of work is typical of southern China. If the paper is torn by hand, the edges are more simple and natural. Tearing is used more in northeast China. In addition, different parts of China have their ownmotifsor pictures. These motifs can express many stories, ideas and emotions.
It can be hard to hold on to traditions like these because young people don’t know much about traditional art. Often they prefer spending their time on newer pastimes. The experts are getting older. If young people don’t learn the traditions, they won’t be able to pass them down to their own children. But recently there is a change. There are more exhibitions of traditional art. Artists are going into schools to teach children how to do paper cutting. Children enjoy working together with artists and talking to them about the meaning of their art. In this way, they are becoming proud of their culture and traditions.
21. The underlined word “motifs” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________ .
A. habits
B. reasons
C. subjects

A. young people know traditional art very well
B. the edges are very smooth when the paper is cut
C. girls were not allowed to learn paper cutting in the past

A. Chinese Paper Art
B. Great Changes in China

There are two paths (路) in life: Should and Must. We arrive at these crossroads over and over again. And each time, we get to choose.
Should is how others want us to show up in the world—what we should or shouldn’t do. When we choose Should, the risk is small.
Must is who we are, what we believe, and what we do when we are alone with our truest self. Must is why Van Gogh painted his whole life without ever receiving public recognition (认可). Must is why Reyna Marder Gentin started to write for the first time after 23 years of being a lawyer.
Choosing Must sounds fantastic, right? But Must is scary, hard, and a lot like jumping off a high building where you can’t see anything down below. How can we actually choose Must?
Ask yourself, “What is my Must?” If you don’t know the answer, write down your biggest, most impossible dreams! Don’t worry! It’s just the first step.
Now, think about what’s actually in your way. Is it your parents? Maybe they’re just worried that you haven’t thought it through. Try to make a practical(切实可行的) plan for what you want to do. Your parents may find it a good one. Is it money? Well, the best way to make money is to do what you love because it’s very likely that you will pay great attention to it. Choosing Must doesn’t mean we need to give up everything we already have. It’s about changing one small thing at a time.
If you believe that you have something special inside of you, it’s about time you gave Must a try—today.
25. What happens if we choose the path of “Should”?
A. We don’t need to take great risks.
B. We have to give up what we have.
C. We’ll have a clear picture of ourselves.
26. The writer develops his idea in Paragraph 3 by ________.
A. listing numbers
B. asking questions
C. giving examples
27. What should we do if we choose the path of “Must”?
A. Try to make a practical plan.
B. Turn to other people for help.
C. Change many things at a time.
28. The writer wrote this passage to ________.
A. take others’ advice
B. be our truest self
C. communicate with parents
第二节阅读下面一篇短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一个为多余选项。
Do you have difficulty falling asleep at night? If so, here is a piece of advice for you: Listen to some soft music.
Scientists have found that soft music can help to improve sleep quality and quantity. It works for people of all ages. ____29____Soft music can help us fall asleep faster, wake up less during the night and feel more rested in the morning. You may not notice the effects overnight, though. It could take as many as three weeks to see any improvements.
____30____The reasons aren’t clear yet. It may have something to do with the relaxing effect of a good song. Music can have real physical effects, too. Soft music can lower our heart rate and slow down our breathing. ____31____
Scientists say that for most people, music that has 70 beats per minute (bpm) works best. Classical, jazz and folk music are usually more effective than other musical styles. ____32____You may need to experiment(尝试) to make your own playlists. If you are not sure how many beats a song has in a minute, you can find out by entering its title into songbpm.com. And remember to get the volume right. Make sure that the final piece is one that slowly fades out(渐弱). ____33____

A. This prepares us for sleep.
B. Familiar songs work well, too.
C. Scientists like different kinds of music.
D. Why can soft music help us sleep better?
E. If not, you may be woken up by the sudden silence.
F. And it works much better for people with sleeping problems.

第三节 阅读下面一篇短文，根据其内容填空。
Wind power is a very clean source of energy. This is how wind power works. Wind makes windmills spin(旋转). When the windmills spin, they make electricity. Then we can use the electricity.
A lot of people think that wind power is new, but that’s not true. For thousands of years, people have used wind to sail boats and move water. We still do those things today, but these days we mostly use wind power to make electricity.
Wind power is a very popular source of energy. Most people think that we should use it more and more. First of allit’s clean. Wind mills don’t pollute the environment at all. Second, we can use wind power forever. After all, we will always have wind. Also, wind power is cheap, and it’s getting even cheaper.
A lot of people don’t understand wind power very well. They believe that there are problems with wind power, but many of those problems are not real. For example, some people say that windmills are dangerous for birds. That used to be true, but it isn’t true anymore. Old windmills killed birds because they spun very fast. New windmills spin slowly, and they aren’t dangerous for birds.
However, there are real problems with windmills. One problem is that many people think windmills are very ugly. This is a problem for some people because windmills are often in very pretty areas. Also, wind doesn’t blow all the time, so we can’t use wind power all the time. Finally, windmills are noisy.
Wind power is becoming more and more common. Right now, more than 80 countries use wind power. About 2.5 percent of the world’s power comes from the wind. For some countries, that number is a lot higher. Wind power gives Denmark more than 25 percent of its electricity.
34Wind power can be turned into __________ when windmills spin.
35. People have used wind to __________ and move water for a long time.
36. New windmills don’t __________ because they spin at a slow speed.
37One of the real problems with windmills is that they __________.
38. This passage mainly introduces a kind of clean, __________ energy to us.

第四节书面表达
Let’s Take Part in Labor Activities
Labor is the source of all happiness. Labor is one of the necessary conditions for students’ all-round development. And I think it is good to do housework.
Doing chores helps to develop children’s independence and teaches them how to look after themselves. I used to be lazy at home. Seeing this, my mother came up with an idea—I have to earn my pocket money by doing housework. It changed me a lot. For example, when I can’t work out a math problem, I prefer to sweep the floor or tidy up my room to clear my mind. Once my mother told me to buy some fruit. I quickly made a list, compared prices and bought fresh fruit. I now have a habit of managing money and I know it’s great of my mother to look after my family so well!
This is how I learn to do housework—it’s a skill that lasts a lifetime.
