1．The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides a year into 24 solar terms （節(jié)氣）.The Spring Equinox （春分），as the fourth term of the year，starts on March 20 and ends on April 3 this year.Here are things you may not know about the Spring Equinox.
Swallows flying north
The ancient Chinese people divided the fifteen days of the Spring Equinox into three "hou's"，or five-day parts.As the old saying goes，swallows fly back to the North in the first hou；thunder cracks the sky in the second hou；lightning occurs frequently in the third hou.It vividly reveals the climate feature during the Spring Equinox.
Egg-standing games
Standing an egg upright is a popular game across the country during the Spring Equinox.It is an old custom that dates back to 4，000 years ago.It is believed that if someone can make the egg stand，he will have good luck in the future.
Flying kites
The Spring Equinox is a good time to fly kites.In ancient times，people did not have good medical resources.To pray for health，they wrote their medical issues on a paper kite.When the kite was in the air，people would cut off the string to let the paper kite float away，symbolizing the flying away of diseases.
Eating spring vegetables
Eating spring vegetables during the Spring Equinox is a commonly practiced custom in many regions of China.Spring vegetables refer to seasonal vegetables that differ from place to place.The ancient teachings in the Chinese classic，Huangdi Neijing，suggest that people eat seasonal foods to help preserve health and bring good luck.

2．I can remember when my daughter Maggie，who is now six，used to crawl into my lap and say，"Daddy，read me a story." Last year she announced， "Daddy，I'm going to read you a story."
Maggie was a television child.When she first became conscious of anything beyond eating and sleeping，the TV set was right there，and it soon commanded her attention.
A few years ago，we were worried not only that we'd never get the children away from the set long enough to learn to read，but that we'd forget how to read ourselves.But in 1955 there was not only more reading than before TV，but more reading than ever before in history.
Clearly，reading has survived television as it has survived a lot of other things.When I was six，a wail went up about menaces （威脅） to reading at home：motor cars and cinema.When Maggie came along，there was television.The motorcar，the radio，the cinema and television do take up a lot of time.
Well，we've got more time.When my mother was a girl，people worked about 60 hours a week.Now it's 44.When Maggie grows up，it'll be 30.And there'll be numerous gadgets to do her housework.She'll have to read.You can't watch TV all day.
At present Maggie is reading about Johnny Woodchuck.Ahead of her - and I'm a little envious - are her first brush with Black Beauty，Alice stepping through the looking glass，Huck and Jim drifting down the Mississippi，the emotional storms of Shakespeare，the spiritual agonies of Tolstoy.For reading isn't all joy.Like life itself，it's mixed with many moods，from ecstasy （狂喜） to despair.Maggie will learn to take the rough with the smooth，gathering from the ancient wisdom of long-dead genius a little fire to enrich her spirit.
And some day，if she's lucky，she'll get the biggest thrill of all，when a little girl climbs into her lap and announces， "Mummy，I'm going to read you a story."
（1）Why do the young generation like Maggie have more access to reading？
A．They face less working pressure.
B．There is more time available for reading.
C．Their parents encourage them more often.
D．They have a stronger desire for knowledge.
（2）What makes the author envious of Maggie？
A．Her exposure to classic reading.
B．Her productive works in writing.
C．Her wild imagination in daily life.
D．Her spiritual reflection on the books.
（3）What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 6 imply？
A．Maggie has rich experiences.
B．Maggie has a good plan for reading.
C．Maggie will benefit a lot from reading.
D．Maggie is on the road to becoming a genius.
（4）What can be inferred from the last paragraph？
A．Reading makes Maggie a fortunate girl.
B．More girls like Maggie enjoy telling stories.
C．Maggie's daughter brings her the biggest thrill.
D．It is a blessing that reading can be passed down.組卷：11引用：2難度：0.5 -
3．At some point in our lives，most of us have attended a school or university lecture.These learning sessions give us some insightful and valuable knowledge or can be something we yawn through，trying to keep awake.Whatever our experience，lectures have been and still are the most common teaching method in education.But will they exist in the future？
With the growth of the Internet and so much information at our fingertips，you may think there is no need to gather together at a fixed location holding a handful of textbooks.BBC journalist Matt Pickles says，"Research has shown that students remember as little as 10 percent of their lectures just days afterwards."
Professor Carl Wieman，who campaigns against the traditional lecture，felt talking at students and expecting them to absorb knowledge was not that effective so he introduced "active learning" that encourages problem solving in small groups.He listens to them and guides their discussions.The result has improved exam results.Other new alternatives to the lecture have included peer-to-peer learning and project-based learning that enable students to link up and work cooperatively on projects such as building a computer game.
But new learning methods can come at a high financial cost compared to the relatively cheap way of being taught face to face by an academic.The real issue according to Professor Dan Butin，founding dean of the school of education and social policy at Merrimack College in Massachusetts，is that "Academics put thousands of hours of work into their books and much less time into thinking about the effectiveness of their teaching style." But he says，"The lecture has survived because research，not teaching，determines the success of a university and its academics."
So if research quality is a measure of a university's success and money is tight，then the lecture could be here for a little longer.
（1）What may Matt Pickles agree with？
A．Students have a poor memory.
B．Students don't work hard enough.
C．Lectures are not so effective as expected.
D．The Internet offers far more information than lectures.
（2）What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about？
A．Teaching projects.
B．Learning strategies.
C．Alternatives to lectures.
D．Ways of communication.
（3）Why will lectures still exist in the future according to Professor Dan Butin？
A．They promote active learning.
B．They call for the least memory work.
C．They determine the success of a university.
D．They contribute to academic achievements.
（4）How does the author develop the passage？
A．By analyzing data.
B．By listing opinions.
C．By making comparison.
D．By concluding general rules.組卷：8引用：1難度：0.5

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
"I just want a normal birthday party，" April told Bailey as they walked home from school.
Bailey knew what April meant. April's parents loved the environment. And because April happened to be born on Earth Day， all her parties had an Earth Day theme.
"Remember when you turned seven？" said Bailey.
"How could I forget the Throw-Out Blowout？" said April.
"We helped out at your garage sales and donated the money to charity. And when you turned eight -"
"It was a Tree Spree，" finished April. "We planted maples." "Last year，we all collected newspapers to recycle，" said Bailey. "The Print Sprint." April groaned （抱怨）.
Bailey giggled. "I thought it was fun."
Later that night， as April loaded the dishwasher， she said，"I'd like to plan my own party this year."
"Sure，" said Mom. "We could have a Composts Carnival." "Great idea!" said Dad.
April cleared her throat. "I'd like to go to Maze Craze （瘋狂迷宮） instead." "Really？" said Dad， surprised.
"I guess we could do that. Dad and I can send you kids there." said Mom.
April couldn't wait for her birthday! She and her friends would have so much fun. And they wouldn't have to think one bit about the earth.
At school the next day， April told her friends. "I'm having my birthday party at Maze Craze!"
"You are？" said Josie. "But we always do something earthy on your birthday." "Remember that salamander （火蜥蜴） we found two years ago？" said Tyler. "Yeah，" said April. "This year， we're not even going outside."
"Oh!" said Tyler.
The following weekend， everyone gathered in the parking lot outside of Maze Craze. "Thanks for coming，" said April. "I've been so excited about my party. No shovels （鏟子）. No collecting recyclables. Nothing earthy about it." She shifted her feet. "Then I got here this morning and saw this parking lot."
April's friends glanced around. Plastic bottles bounced （彈起） across the ground. News papers and fast-food sacks blocked the storm drain （排水道）. Shopping bags rustled （沙沙作響） in the trees.
注意：
1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為 150 左右；
2.請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
"What a mess!" April frowned.___________.
April looked at the collected rubbish and smiled.___________.組卷：5引用：1難度：0.6
