The garden was obviously well-tended and the flowers were so gorgeous that every passer-by would stop fer a look. It was like a baby that was taken good care of.One day a young painter went by the old mans garden. He stared at the splendid garden and the special cottage,completely lost in admiration at the beauty of these sights, picturing how happy he would be if he lived in such a beautiful place.Then, suddenly he found the gardener was blind. Shocked, the painter approached him, asking, “Why are you busy looking after these flowers every day but in fact you cannot see them?” The blind man smiled , “ I can tell you some reasons. First, I was a gardener when I was young. I saw the flowers every day and I really enjoy the job. Second, although I cant see these flowers now, I can touch them. Third, I can smell the sweetness of them.As to the last one, thats you.” “Me? But you dont know me.” responded the painter, puzzled still.“Yeah, its true that I dont know you. But I know flowers are like angels. I know many people who are enthusiastic about life would stop by and the beauty of my garden will get them into a good mood. Meanwhile, They also give me a chance to have a word with you here and to enjoy the happiness these flowers have brought us.” The old mans words touched the painter.He grew flowers and regarded them as a link of minds. Every flower had eyes with which they could see kindness of the old mans heart and the sweetness of his soul. He grew flowers in his heart. Just like Beethoven, who was deaf, but composed a sea of attractive tunes, the blind man created beauty for the world.1、Why did many pasacrs-by like to stop by the garden?ABecause they wanted to help the old man.BBecause they were attracted by the flowers.CBecause they were curious about the stories.DBecause they were moved by the gardener.2、What is the relationship between the painter and the gardener?AFriends.BNeighbours.CStrangers.DRelatives.3、What does the underline word “picturing” wean in Paragraph 2?AImagining.BGuessing.CDrawing.DExploring.4、Which is TRUE according to the text?AThe painter lost his way.BThe painter liked his job.CThe old man was blind at birth.DThe old man was an optimistic person.5、What is the best title of this text?AA Story of Blind ManBGrow Flowers in the HeartCHow to Take Care of FlowersDA Disabled Man like Beethoven23（8分）Many young people these days adore the advertised magazine body and become too focused on attaining this image instead of worrying more about what lasts and even grows over time. But could you imagine being considered beautiful for years, and suddenly being ugly after moving to another continent? It is a sad reality that people dont realize how vacillating the idea of beauty can be from one country to another. Think of the most typical American girl you know. Is she blonde haired with white skin and light eyes, and does she love shopping or sports? Now place this girl in the heart of Africa, a place where beauty is placed on what you can control. The Maasai tribe in Kenya focuses on how clean people are, and how stylish their piercings (穿孔) are. This tribes culture is to be a brave fighter, so they will cut their skin with patterns in it to show that they are strong. If you dont look fierce, you are not beautiful.Other countries like North Korea and South Korea have their own unique views on beauty. In an interview, a woman who has lived in both North and South Korea claims that beauty in North Korea is based more on your ability to be a good woman and wife. She says that women in North Korea are less concerned about fashion and beauty in the physical sense. She says they did have a time when big eyes were a big deal and everyone wanted to get double eyelid surgery. This is something extreme and could perhaps be influenced by Western culture. And the idea of getting surgery done to look more attractive is crazy.1、What does the underlined word “vacillating” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?AInconsistent. BReasonable. CUnusual. DSimilar.2、The Maasai tribe in Kenya is mentioned to show that in their eyes _.Agetting dirty is stylishBlooking fierce is beautifulCstrong people cut their skinDAmerican girls love shopping3、According to the woman interviewed, women in North Korea now_.Acare a lot about their appearanceBput the beauty of eyes in the first placeCpay great attention to their abilityDare crazy about double eyelid surgery4、What does the text mainly tell us?AInner beauty is of great importance.BIdeas of beauty vary among culture groups.CDifferent ways are needed to admire true beauty.DFashion magazines easily influence young people.24（8分）Dry Ice is a unique substance which has many uses. Essentially, dry ice is frozen CO2. The first report of what we now call dry ice came from the French chemist Charles Thilorier in 1834. In 1924, the Drylee Corporation of America named the solid form of CO2 as Dry Ice, which is what it is popularly called today.At normal atmospheric pressure, CO2changes directly from solid to gas. It skips the liquid phase（阶段）which makes regular ice wet. Frozen CO2is also much colder than regular ice. But regular ice freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, CO2 changes from gas to solid at -109.3 degrees Fahrenheit. This extremely cold temperature makes it very dangerous to handle with bare hands. It can cause frostbite in a very short period of time.Dry ice has been used for a variety of purposes throughout the past century. Its primary use is to refrigerate food when electrical refrigeration isnt available. Through the process of sublimation (when CO2 changes from solid to gas), it can maintain cold food for a long time.If youve ever been to a play and seen heavy fog on the ground, it is likely that you have seen dry ice in action. This effect can be achieved because CO2 is heavier than air, so evaporated （挥发的）CO2 will sink and accumulate on the ground.Another interesting use for this substance is to bait（诱杀）insects like mosquitoes. These insects have sensors which guide them to CO2. They find the high concentration of CO2 in dry ice quite attractive.Mars has long been a mystery for human beings. We have been looking for evidence of life on Mars. In the 1960s scientists guessed that the polar ice cap of Mars was made of frozen CO2. More recent observations have shown that while the topmost layer consists of frozen CO2, the most of it is probably regular frozen water.1、Frozen CO2 gets its name of Dry Ice mainly becauseAit is very easy to make it dryBwe cant melt it and it doesnt get wetCit looks like ice at a low temperatureDit is solid like ice at -109.3 degrees Fahrenheit2、The underlined word frostbite in the second paragraph probably meansAthe shakes caused by coldBdamage caused by freezingCa fever caused by being coldDa sharp pain caused by bums3、According to the passage, dry ice can be used toAfreeze most of food in the next centuryBincrease the production of farmingCmake a vivid fog effect on stagesDhelp to improve the environment4、What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?ADry ice on Mars is near the polar.BNot much dry ice has been found on Mars.CThe polar ice cap of Mars is unique.DNo frozen CO, on Mars can be melt.25（10分）Suppose you work in a big firm and find English very important for your job because you often deal with foreign businessmen.
