There are lots of dangerous and terrible insects in Northeastern India,but the tree﹣bees are the most terrible.They are killers.Unlike most bees which will sting (叮咬)you only if they are disturbed (打扰),tree﹣bees will attack you in thousands for no reason.And they will chase(追赶) you for your life.

I began running to the village about half a mile away,but I was soon covered from head to foot with bees.I drove them away with my hands,only to make room for others.Each time I opened my mouth tor breath,more bees entered my mouth,until it was stung to twice its usual size and I could hardly breathe.

When I reached the village.I found some workers building a house.I ran towards them for help.But as soon as the workers saw the bees with me.they ran for safety at top speed.

Soon my eyes had completely closed.I fell into a pile of brick dust.I pushed myself wildly down into it until my head and shoulders were covered.And then I found myself in a worse situation﹣the dust nearly stopped me from breathing.When I tried hard to get out of the dust,the angry bees made a new attack on me.I was tired out and ran weakly about in circles.Soon I lost my consciousness (意识).

Later I learned that two quick﹣minded villagers ran to a pile of dry grass and quickly surrounded (包围)me with a thick wall of fire and smoke until the bees were driven away.They stayed with me,taking stings out of my body for the next three hours until a doctor came and gave me further treatment.

Anna Mary Robertson was a famous American painter. It is often said that Anna first took up painting when she was nearly 80 years old. In fact, when she was a little girl, she drew whenever she had a chance.

Long before she became known, Anna lived a life full of challenges. She always kept busy with farm chores, housework, and children, but she never really stopped pursuing(追求)art.

In Anna’s late age, she pictured some scenes in her mind before painting. She would close her eyes and recall a happy time from her early life. She would remember helping her father on the farm. She would see the people, the farm buildings, and the animals. She would imagine the blue mountains and the softly falling snow.

Anna’s friends and family members loved the paintings. She gave them away as gifts. A friend hung several of the paintings in a local store. One day a stranger came into the store and bought every one of her paintings. He took her paintings to New York City and showed them to some art collectors. One of these collectors, Dr. Kallir, liked the paintings. He hung some of them in his gallery(画廊). The newspaper did a story about the art show. The reporter called Anna “Grandma Moses.” From then on almost everyone called her that way. Grandma Moses kept on painting. Her paintings got better, and they got more popular.

In her lifetime, Moses created about 1,500 works of art. They were cheerful, warm and full of life, just like Grandma herself. Her paintings still remain popular today.

“As I look back on my life, it’s like a good day’s work. It was done and I feel satisfied with it. I knew nothing better than painting and made full use of what life offered. And life is what we make it, always has been, always will be,” she said.

阅读下面短文,从每题所给ABCD四个选项中选出最佳答案。

What year were you born in? Are you a dragon? That is to say, were you born in the Year of the Dragon?

As we know, the Year of the Dragon has arrived with us for a while, and everyone is excited about talking about dragons. Many of them have noticed that more and more people are using the word “loong” instead of “dragon” in their daily life. Actually, the loongs in Chinese culture, believe it or not, are far different from the dragons in Western culture.

First, let’s talk about their origins(起源). Loongs are connected to stars and rain. They are believed to have to do with the power of emperors in the past. Dragons, however, are related to floods and dangerous waters underground.

Second, let’s dig into their stories. Loongs are like messengers between the sky and the earth. They help out the rulers, who become kings because of them. Dragons, though, are troublemakers. They fight with the rulers and can even beat them! But as time passes, dragons lose their shine and heroes start killing them.

Third, let’s look at what they mean. Since loongs represent(代表)power, they are seen as a symbol of the emperor and an important part of ceremonies and traditions. Dragons, though, are bad news. They are a symbol of evil(恶), and beating the dragons is seen as a victory over evil.

Lastly, let’s check out how they look. Loongs are like a mix of animals, with heads like camels and necks like snakes. They don’t need wings to fly because they are already skilled at it. Dragons are more like snakes, living underground and causing problems. They don’t have wings either, but people add those to make them look more impressive.

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。选项中有一项为多余选项。

“Look! Here is a black-faced spoonbill(琵鹭)at the Futian Mangrove(红树林)Ecological(生态的)Park,” said Yan Zihan, a 15-year-old student from Shenzhen, Guangdong. 1

Some experts said, “Spoonbills can live happily in Shenzhen because mangroves provide them with food and home. Generally, the special plants grow in warm places by the sea.”

2 So its mangrove area has increased from 22,000 hectares(公顷)in 2001 to 27,000 hectares today, making China one of the few countries in the world with an increase in mangrove areas.

Recently, the world’s first international mangrove center has been set up in Shenzhen. 3 Local government has tried hard to protect mangroves. For example, back in the1990s when the city was building a road along the coast, instead of just cutting down the mangroves, they decided to move the road 260 meters to the north. 4

The protection of mangroves is also good for the people living in Shenzhen. The park hosts fun events like the spoonbill festival and the otter(水獭)festival. 5 Students can learn about nature through programs like researching on mangroves or designing the park. From 2019 on, over 3,000 students and teachers have taken part in educational activities about wetlands at the park.

A. China works hard to protect mangroves.

B. The transportation became more convenient than before.

C. People can join in games and create picture books about the animals.

D. This decision helped to save the important mangrove ecosystem(生态系统)in the city.

E. He felt very excited to see this kind of endangered birds.

F. The city is home to 296.18 hectares of mangroves according to People’s Daily.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Which is more important in your mind, looking fashionable or feeling comfortable? You may find many people choose style over comfort and some even go to extremes(极端)to follow fashion. But we should remember: being fashionable isn’t everything. It’s more important to be healthy.

Some people believe that they need to be a certain size to look good. So, they start extreme diets that are not good for their health. They might not eat meals or eat too little, which can make them feel sick. Is it a healthy way to live?

Also, many girls wear shoes with very high heels. They might think high heels make them look taller. But these shoes can actually hurt their feet and make it hard to walk comfortably, and they can increase the risks of falls. Some even wear tight clothes that influence blood circulation(循环), making it hard to breathe. Should we put fashion over comfort and physical health?

Besides, some boys and girls spend a lot of time and money changing their hair color. The material they use is usually harmful to their health. To make their hair straight or curly, they also use tools that are hot enough to burn their hair. But using these tools too often or at very high temperatures can make the hair dry or even burnt. Is it really worth it to risk our health, spending so much time and money?

So, let’s think again what’s really important. Is it fashion or is it our well-being? Clothes or hairstyles don’t tell us anything about a person’s character. Instead of spending a lot of time choosing clothes, we could use that time to do fun things with friends. And instead of following extreme diets, let’s eat properly and exercise regularly. Remember, the value of you is not decided by your appearance, but by who you are as a person.

(1)Why do some people go on extreme diets according to the passage?

A.

Because the diets are healthy.

B.

Because they just want to look good.

Because they want to save money.

(2)What is the writer’s purpose of using a question in each paragraph?

A.

B.

To tell how to spend time and money.

C.

To introduce the latest fashion.

D.

To lead readers to think about the topic.

(3)What does the underlined word “well-being” mean in the last paragraph?

A.

Growth.

B.

Health.

C.

Warmth.

D.

Wealth.

(4)Which of the following is the structure of the passage?

(①=Paragraph 1;②=Paragraph2…)

A.

B.

C.

D.
