Hello, everyone! My name is Lingling. I’d like to share my wonderful trip to Wuhan with you.
On National Day, my family drove to Wuhan. It is a large city with a long history and beautiful scenery (景

Tower (黄鹤楼). It stands by the Changjiang River and there are many famous poems (诗歌) about it. We stood in

the Changjiang River. It was wonderful. On the third day, we went to Hankou. It is a good place to shop and eat.

Long ago in ancient China, there was a wise judge ( 法官) named Judge Li who was famous for his
cleverness. One day, a farmer named Wang came to his court (法庭), crying, “Your Honor, my best horse is gone! I
saw it in my neighbor Zhang’s horse barn (马棚). I know it’s mine because it has a white spot (斑点) on its
forehead. But Zhang refuses to return it!”
Judge Li called Zhang, who argued, “This horse has been mine for years. Wang is lying!” The villagers
disagreed—some believed Wang, while others trusted Zhang.
To solve the problem, Judge Li ordered the horse to be brought to the courtroom. He covered its head with a
cloth and asked both men, “Describe the horse’s eyes in detail.”
Wang said at once, “Its left eye is slightly cloudy because it was hurt last year.” Zhang stopped, then guessed,
“Its eyes are big and black, like all healthy horses!”
Judge Li removed the cloth, showing the horse’s cloudy left eye. Zhang’s face turned white. The judge said,
“A true owner knows everything of his animal. The horse is Wang’s.”
But the story didn’t end there. A week later, the horse ran away into the mountains. Wang’s son ran after it
but broke his leg. The villagers sighed, “What bad luck!” Wang, however, calmly said, “Who knows if this is truly
5 / 7

bad luck?”
Soon after, a war broke out, and all young men were called to serve in the army—except Wang’s son, who
didn’t have to go because of his injury (受伤). The villagers then understood: what seems like bad luck may turn
into something good.
36．Why did Judge Li cover the horse’s head with a cloth?
A．To hide the white spot and make the test more difficult.
B．To stop the horse from seeing its owner and running to him.
C．To make the horse feel comfortable during the test.
D．To test the men’s memory of the horse’s characteristics.
37．What does the underlined word “removed” in paragraph 5 mean?
A．Covered with. B．Took off.
C．Burnt up.
D．Light up.
38．How did Judge Li decide the real owner of the horse?
A．By letting the villagers decide on the owner. B．By testing the men’s knowledge of the horse.
C．By checking the government materials. D．By letting the horse freely choose its owner.
39．Why was Wang not worried about his son’s injury?
A．Because he didn’t truly love his own son.
B．Because he wanted to encourage his son to be strong.
C．Because he believed bad luck could bring good.
D．Because he didn’t care what the villagers thought.
40．What is the main lesson of this story?
A．Always trust the judge’s final decision. B．Good and bad luck often come together.
C．Never disagree with your neighbors.
D．Horses are very important animals.

四、任务型阅读（10 分）
Should parents ask their children to do chores? Some don’t think that children should do chores, because
they think children are too young. But many people think that children should do chores.
In fact, children can get a sense of happiness when they do chores. Parents should help children learn to do
housework that they will have to do when they live on their own.
Most experts agree that children can learn a lot from doing chores. However, parents should ask the child
to do chores at the right time. Parents shouldn’t ask a schoolboy to cook when he is doing his homework. And
parents shouldn’t ask their children to do all chores. Children should do chores for half an hour every day.
The chores should suit (适合) the child. When a child does what his parents ask him to do happily, he will
probably have the feeling of growing up. Parents can teach children something useful by doing chores. And
please make sure that parents also do chores. Parents are children’s good models (榜样). If parents don’t keep the
house clean, children won’t find any reason to do chores.
46．Why don’t some parents think children should do chores?
47．What can children get when they do chores?
48．How long should children do chores every day?
49．How can parents teach children something useful?
50．Who are children’s good models, teachers or parents?
五、短文填空（10 分）
My name is Julia. I have a twin (双胞胎的) sister. Her name is Lisa. My hair is short, but she has
51
(long) hair than me. Many people think we must be similar to each other. In fact,
52
are many
differences between us. Lisa is
53
(quiet) than me. When my parents’ friends come to our house, Lisa
often sits on the sofa and says nothing. But I’d like to talk with them loudly.
Lisa likes reading, drawing and cooking, but I enjoy playing volleyball, so she is not
54
good at
sports as me. However, Lisa always gets
55
(good) grades than me at school, so my parents often say to
me, “Although Lisa is
56
(young) than you, she is
57
(hard-working), and you should learn
7 / 7

from her.”
But
58
some ways we are the same. For example (例如), we both like going shopping and
listening to music. I like my twin sister. I don’t think everyone is necessary( 必须的)
59
be the same.
The differences between people make our life
60
(colorful).
