Xu Beihong was a pioneer of 20th century Chinese art, well known for his traditional ink-and-wash paintings of horses and birds. He was one of the first Chinese artists to explore the techniques (技巧) of oil paintings.

Born in 1895 in Yixing, Jiangsu, Xu Beihong showed a strong interest in arts since childhood. He began studying the Chinese Classics from his father when he was six. Xu spent much time helping out on his family’s farm. He would paint what he noticed in nature. In 1912, his father fell ill. Xu became the breadwinner of the family and began teaching arts in all kinds of schools. In 1917, he began to teach at Peking University at the invitation of Cai Yuanpei.

Beginning in 1919, Xu studied oil painting and drawing in Paris. His travels around Europe allowed him to explore Western art techniques. He studied the bone structure (骨架) and movement of horses. Such knowledge is clear in his works. But his excellent ink brushwork truly brought his horses to life. Through his art, Xu gave the world a new way of understanding horses, celebrating their beauty, strength and spirit.

In 1923, Xu’s oil painting was shown at the French National Art Exhibition (展览). Later, he received invitations from many European cities to hold exhibitions internationally.

After returning home in 1927, Xu took an active part in art education. He focused on developing creativity with students. He also encouraged his students to learn from foreign artworks. “There is no other way to learn art, but to keep practising,” Xu once said.

In 1933, Xu organized an exhibition of modern Chinese painting in Paris. It drew in lots of attention and was then moved to Belgium, Milan, Moscow, and other places. Between 1939 and 1941, Xu travelled to Southeast Asia, holding exhibitions in Singapore and India. All the money from these exhibitions went to Chinese people who were suffering because of the war.

“Helen! Are you coming?”

“Yes! Where are we going, Dad?” Helen asked. She didn’t often get to spend time with her father these days. He was always working, trying hard to make enough money to support Helen, her mother, and her brothers and sister.

“We’ll be getting the rent (租金),” Mr. Resnick answered.

The rent was the only way they were surviving. Before the Great Depression (经济大萧条), Mr. Resnick had bought a house and rented it to three families. Where the Resnicks would be without that rent money now, Helen really couldn’t imagine.

Mrs. Miller gave them the money in dollar bills. Mr. Schmidt managed with a bag of coins. But the third family never had enough money. It had become harder and harder to accept their rent. But as Helen’s mother said, the money in Mr. Resnick’s hand by the end of today must be enough to last for the whole month.

Mrs. Katz opened the door. Mr. Katz and the two children were sitting at a table, waiting for Mr. Resnick. They all have such thin faces! Helen thought.

Mr. Katz gave Helen’s father the money he was holding. Mr. Resnick thanked him and turned to go.

“Mr. Resnick?” Mrs. Katz said before they could leave. “We haven’t eaten in two days.”

The two little kids began to cry. Without a word, Helen’s father put all of their rent money back on the table. Then he took out the rest of the money he’d collected that day and counted out two dollars.

“Helen,” he said, “Use this to buy food and bring it right back here.”

Helen ran all the way to the store. She chose cheap and good foods, like her mom would do. Two dollars bought such a lot! Helen carried the heavy bags back to the house. The kids cried with joy when they saw each favorite food. Mr. and Mrs. Katz laughed at that, and Helen thought it was their first laugh in a long, long time.

33．Why does the author mention the Great Depression?

A．To present Helen’s wild imagination.

B．To describe Helen’s unhappy childhood.

C．To suggest a better way to make a living.

D．To stress the importance of getting the rent.

34．What did Mrs. Katz mean by saying “We haven’t eaten in two days.”?

A．She was too weak to cook.B．She would stop renting the house.

C．She invited Mr. Resnick for dinner.D．She needed help to feed her family.

35．What can we learn about Mr. Resnick?

A．He did not get any rent that day.

B．He spent much time with his family.

C．He would have a harder time that month.

D．He was not satisfied with Helen’s shopping.

36．What does the story mainly tell us?

A．Hard work brings good luck.B．Kindness shines even in difficult times.

C．Silence speaks louder than actions.D．Kids should learn to use money properly.

（D）

Some of the most beautiful rivers in the UK are from underground springs, which create perfect conditions for wildlife to live. To understand how healthy the rivers really are, scientists keep watching them for numbers of species (物种) over time. This can show how well a habitat can manage stress such as rising temperatures, reduced rainfall and pollution.

Traditionally, researchers survey rivers by going out themselves and searching for plants, animals or signs of their presence (存在). This method works, but it takes much time and can miss some species not present during the survey. A new project called GeneFlow tries a new technology — environmental DNA (eDNA).

When a species — for example, a fish — moves through the environment, it drops bits of itself all the time, from dead skin cells to faeces (粪便). The DNA in these materials is known as environmental DNA (eDNA). If someone tests a sample (样本) of the water, these pieces of DNA can show the recent presence of the fish, though no fish is seen. This technology allows scientists to find species that we cannot see with our eyes, so that we can learn more about the rivers.

GeneFlow aims to explore the species in 10 rivers across the UK. Beyond information collection, it also aims to connect people with their local rivers. With instructions, members of the public have helped to collect water samples from chosen rivers.

Scientists are still studying the water samples, but the early results are promising: nearly 2000 species have been discovered so far, including protected species such as eels and water voles at many places. Several riverfly species — key signs of water quality — were also recorded.

37．What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?

A．To list possible dangers to the habitats.

B．To describe the rivers’ health conditions.

C．To explain the importance of river surveys.

D．To introduce some beautiful rivers in the UK.

38．What’s the problem with the traditional method to survey rivers?

A．It pollutes the rivers.B．It doesn’t work at all.

C．It wastes time finding rivers.D．It can miss hidden species.

39．What is eDNA?

A．The DNA of a certain fish in the UK.

B．The technology of collecting water samples.

C．The technology of preventing water pollution.

D．The DNA of species found in the environment.

40．What can we learn about the GeneFlow Project from the last two paragraphs?

A．It has found positive results so far.

B．It has protected species at many places.

C．Its researchers have completed their study.

D．Its researchers collected samples in person.

（E）

It is exciting to welcome a cat into your family, but it is also a huge duty. And you’ll expect a lot of changes in your life.     41    

Most of us will bring home a kitten (小猫), once they’re around nine weeks old and stop drinking milk from their mum.     42     They are always running around, climbing curtains, and getting up to all kinds of tricks. Luckily, they also sleep a lot and can be cute.

It is a good idea to get a grooming (梳毛) brush. Getting your kitten used to a little grooming time each day will make life easier in the long run.     43     In this way, it will be easier to put it into the basket if you have to take it out.

If you are taking in an older cat, they will be calmer and need less care than a kitten. Still, they feel uncomfortable in the first few weeks after moving to a new house.     44     Make sure they have plenty of places to hide.

Whatever the age of the cats, prepare two litter boxes for each cat in the home, and these should be in some private areas, where there is not a lot of foot traffic.

45     Cats don’t like drinking water that is near their food. You also need to keep both bowls away from the litter box. Cats won’t want to eat or drink if they can smell their litter.

A．What can you buy for them?

B．At this age, they can be highly active.

C．There are a number of things to be aware of.

D．For these older cats, the key is to respect their space.

E．They often fight bravely to help their mum hunt for food.

F．Importantly, keep the food bowl away from the water bowl.

G．Similarly, use a cat basket as a bed choice within the home.

四、短文填空根据短文意思和首字母提示，写出一个完整正确的单词。

Dancing can be lots of fun, but did you know it’s also good for your health?

Research shows that attending a dance class can i    46     physical health, balance and flexibility (柔韧性).

Dancing is also great for your mind. Coming up with different ways to move your body encourages you to be more c    47    . Taking part in dance classes can also help your b    48     work better at remembering things. What’s more, dancing can help build your confidence and r    49     your stress as well.

Attending a dance class gives you a chance to meet other people who like the same things as you and to make f    50    . It can also help you to build your s    51     skills. Dancing with friends together is also a great way to learn how to work in a team.

One of the best things about dancing is that it’s for everyone, i    52     beginners and experienced movers. You can all get the b    53     from giving it a go.

You can try making up dance movements to your f    54     songs at home or in your local park. It doesn’t matter where you do it, as long as you’re dancing, moving and h    55     fun.

I learned that it’s important to speak up.Make sports easy for everyone

By Rohan,9, Virginia

I love playing sports because they’re a fun way to spend time with friends and meet new people. But not all kids get the chance to play.

Another way is to help by sharing your skills with younger kids.Take simple steps at home to protect the Earth

例文

Dear editor,

I am writing to suggest a good read. The book I’d like to recommend is The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway.

It tells the story of an old fisherman who fights alone against a huge fish in the sea for many days. Though he faces great difficulties, he never gives up.

I recommend this book for two reasons. First, it teaches us the value of courage and persistence. Second, the language is simple but beautiful, which makes it easy and enjoyable to read. It is also full of deep thoughts about life and the human spirit. 

I hope you can recommend the book to more students.

Yours,

Li Hua
