I am sure that all of us have had an unforgettable experience which is regretful (后悔的) in our life. We said or did 31 without thinking twice, which we will regret later. Sometimes we did it only because we were 32 at that time and then we realized that we made a big mistake.
One day a boy in my class left his math 33 at home. I spoke something loud to the 8-year-old boy very angrily. Of course, I just wanted to take the child as a(n) 34 so that other students would learn a lesson from it— 35 come to school with their homework left at home in the future. The poor boy sat there, head 36 and tears falling from his face.
After class, a little girl sitting next to him went to my office and told me something about him. The little boy’s 37 was badly ill last night and an ambulance sent her to the hospital. He had to spend the whole 38 in the hospital looking after his mother. She was still at the hospital and he didn’t know what was wrong with her.
I can’t 39 how I felt at that moment. After knowing the truth, I was so 40 for what I said that day. From that moment on, I have 41 the way I treat my students.
As a young teacher, I was not patient enough with my students. 42 I had patience to ask the boy why he forgot his work book at that time, I would understand why his homework was the 43 thing on his mind. We all get angry sometimes, but life will be more beautiful if we take time to fully 44 what’s happening around us before we act out. So remember, when you want to criticize someone, take a deep breath and try to 45 first. Try to know about the real reasons before you take action.

Swifts (雨燕) live mostly in the air. These small birds are among the fastest animals on Earth. In fact, swifts can go two or three days without touching the ground! To get used to life in the sky, swifts use their speed and the saliva (唾液) in their mouths.
Swifts can fly faster than 100 miles per hour. That’s because their wings are like boomerangs (回力镖). This shape of the wings helps them to fly much faster. They can also move one wing faster than the other, which allows them to make sharp turns without slowing down. Making fast, sharp turns helps swifts catch flying bugs to eat.
The saliva helps swifts catch bugs to feed their young. It is sticky, like glue. Swifts often fly into clouds of bugs such as mosquitoes and open their wide mouths to catch as many insects as they can. The bird collects as many insects as they can. The bird collects insects in its mouth gradually (逐渐地) and holds the insects in a sticky ball of saliva. One food ball can contain nearly 1,000 bugs.
Swifts also use their saliva as glue to build their nests. The birds catch feathers in the air and stick the feathers together to build a strong nest. Swifts’ short feet are not good for walking or standing on land for long. But their sharp claws allow them to stick to rocks and walls so they can take a short rest before returning to their lives in the sky.
53. The second paragraph mainly talks about ________.
A. how fast swifts can fly B. how swifts turn around in the sky
C. why swifts make sharp turns D. why swifts can fly and turn so fast
54. What does the underlined word “It” refer to in Paragraph 3
A. The saliva. B. The air. C. The shape. D. The speed.
55. Which of the following is True about swifts
A. They don’t usually live on land because of wings.
B. They can fly for a long time because of their small bodies.
C. They can’t walk for a long time because of their short feet.
D. They can catch nearly 1,000 bugs in one go with the saliva.
56. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage
A. B. C. D.
D
The 14th China Airshow was held from November 8th to 13th in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province. More than 42 countries took part in the show, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and many other countries. Among the different models of airplanes, the J-20 Drone (无人机) took many people’s breath away.
The drone is one of the greatest inventions in recent years. A drone is light and portable, which makes it possible to reach high places in a very short time and be put in a backpack easily.
Some small drones are widely used for taking photos and putting on light shows. Other larger drones are used to carry things to far places in a smart way. For example, Mei Tuan Takeout uses drones to send food or packages to people’s offices in Shenzhen. (a) The delivery time has been greatly cut down. (b) They can spray pesticide (农药) and check whether the crops are growing well at different time of a day. (c) So, a farmer can look after land five times larger than that before. (d) Scientists are also using underwater drones to get information on CO levels in the ocean. It’s the newest way to study the ocean’s condition and improve its environment.
Drones have a deep influence on our life. People never stop the steps of flying in the sky. In the future, can you imagine what there will be when you look up at the sky

The weather forecast tells what the temperature and air conditions will be in the near future. 61 The weather can be sunny or stormy. It can be warm or cool. It also can be rainy, cloudy or windy. Sometimes, weather is terrible. A snowstorm or a thunderstorm may happen quickly. When we get information ahead of time, 62
A meteorologist（气象学家） is a person whose job is to forecast the weather. 63 A tool for getting a correct measurement of the temperature is a thermometer. A high temperature probably means plenty of sunshine for everyone.
In rainy weather, a meteorologist uses a rain gauge. A rain gauge gives data about how much rain is falling outdoors. After it rains, you may be able to see a rainbow. A rainbow comes up when the sun comes out and there is still rain in the air.
Wind brings us our weather. It blows clouds from one place to another. 64 A wind vane（风向标） provides this information. Knowing the wind direction helps a meteorologist know what weather is coming.
65 As our knowledge about weather gets better, the forecasts become more correct.
A．Weather forecasts are not always right.
B．being prepared helps us stay safe.
C．It is helpful to know which direction the wind is blowing.
D．It is hard to know which direction the wind is blowing.
E．There are many tools to help the meteorologist do his job.
F．There are different types of weather.

七、阅读与回答问题 （本题共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
请认真阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. In China, people created the 24 solar terms thousands of years ago to guide agricultural (农业的) production.
Rain Water is one of the 24 solar terms which stands for the increase (增加) in rainfall and rise in temperature. With its arrival, the river water melts, wild geese fly from south to north, and trees and grass turn green again.
Here are several things you may not know but can make you know about Rain Water better. Let me introduce them to you.
Rain in spring is as precious (宝贵的) as oil
According to an old Chinese saying, the rainfall in spring is as precious as oil. In northern China the spring drought (旱灾) is common. And the rain of this season is only 10 to 15 percent of yearly average (平均) rainfall. So at that time, rain is so precious and important to the crops.
Return of a cold period
A returning cold in the late spring often happens during Rain Water. The fast increase in air humidity (湿度) can result in lower temperature and wet weather. Remember not to take off your coats so early in this period.
Visit to in-laws (姻亲)
One of the main customs during Rain Water is sons-in-law visiting their in-laws and giving gifts. According to the tradition, gifts are usually two cane chairs with four meters of red belt. They stand for good health and long life. Another traditional gift is a pot of cooked pig’s knuckles (蹄). The son-in-law expresses his thankfulness this way.
Nutritious porridge (营养粥) respect
The wet weather during Rain Water is harmful to people’s health according to Chinese medical practice. So a bowl of nutritious porridge is the best choice to keep the body alive and healthy.
96. Why did people create the 24 solar terms

97. What does Rain Water stand for according to the article

Everyone in China knows giant pandas. In 1985, China began to send pandas to other countries. Today, there are 23 pandas living in foreign countries. Giant pandas are very quiet and peaceful. And they are also shy animals. They live alone in the forest. To our surprise, the giant panda eats at least 10 kilograms of bamboo each day. Giant pandas are good at climbing trees and swimming. They can live for about 20 years in the wild. Now China has 12 panda reserves to protect them. The biggest is the Wolong Centre, in Sichuan Province. It is 2,000 square kilometres in area and there are 100 pandas living in it.
