1．The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms，which reflect the Chinese people's understanding of time.Here several special solar terms are listed.
Rain Water
Rain Water signals the increase in rainfall and rise in temperature.With its arrival，the river water defreezes，wild geese move from south to north，and trees and grass turn green again.Extra care is needed to cope with a returning cold spell in this period.The wet and damp weather during Rain Water period is considered harmful for people's spleen （脾） and stomach according to Chinese medical practice.Therefore，a bowl of nutritious porridge is the best choice to nourish the body.
Awakening of Insects
As the third solar term in the lunar year，its name implies that animals sleeping in winter are awakened by spring thunder and that the earth begins to come back to life.It is the key time for spring agricultural activities.Modern meteorological science shows that around this period，the earth becomes wet，the hot humid air from the north is strong and creates frequent winds.For this reason，thunder often occurs.
Spring Equinox
Spring Equinox signals the equal length of the day and night time.On the day of the Spring Equinox，the sun is directly above the equator.After the equinox，the sun moves northwards，resulting in gradually longer day time in the Northern Hemisphere.Standing an egg upright is a popular game during this period.It is believed that if someone can make the egg stand，he will have good luck in the future.
Grain Rain
Grain Rain originates from the old saying，"Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains"，which shows that this period of rainfall is extremely important for the growth of crops and people are busy working on the land.Grain Rain falls between the end of' spring and the beginning of summer，with infrequent cold air moving to the south and lingering cold air in the north.With dry soil，an unsteady atmosphere and heavy winds and sandstorms become more frequent.

2．My philosophy professor was a typical eccentric philosopher，whose behavior was somewhat strange.His disheveled（蓬乱的）appearance was highlighted by a well-worn tweed （粗花呢） sport coat and poor-fitting thick glasses，which often rested on the tip of his nose.Every now and then，as most philosophy professors do，he would go off on one of those existential "what's the meaning of life" discussions.Many of those discussions went nowhere，but there were a few that really hit home.This was one of them：
"Respond to the following questions by a show of hands，" my professor instructed.
"How many of you can tell me something about your parents？" Everyone's hand went up.
"How many of you can tell me something about your grandparents？" About three-fourths of the class raised their hands.
"How many of you can tell me something about your great-grandparents？" Two out of sixty students raised their hands.
"Look around the room，" he said. "In just two short generations hardly any of us even know who our own great-grandparents were.Oh sure，maybe we have an old photograph tucked（收藏）away in a musty cigar box or know the classic family story about how one of them walked five miles to school barefoot.But how many of us really know who they were，what they thought，what they were proud of，what they were afraid of，or what they dreamed about？Think about that.Within three generations our ancestors are all but forgotten.Will this happen to you？"
"Here's a better question.Look ahead three generations.You are long gone.Instead of you sitting in this room，now it's your great-grandchildren.What will they have to say about you？Will they know about you？Or will you be forgotten，too？"
"Is your life going to be a warning or an example？What legacy will you leave？The choice is yours.Class dismissed. "
Nobody rose from their seats for a good five minutes.
（1）Which of the following can best describe the professor？
A．Untidy but considerate.
B．Odd but thoughtful.
C．Fashionable and helpful.
D．Neat and responsible.
（2）Why does the professor mention "photograph" and "family story" in Paragraph 6？
A．To share his own interesting stories.
B．To suggest new ways to know the ancestors.
C．To prove they are good ways to know the ancestors.
D．To show people's understanding of the ancestors are shallow.
（3）What can we know about this philosophy class？
A．It aroused our thinking about life.
B．It went nowhere like the previous ones.
C．The professor was unsatisfied with our answers.
D．The professor offered us his answers to the questions.
（4）What is the best title of the passage？
A．Our philosophy professor.
B．A lesson about legacy.
C．Our memorable ancestors.
D．A gap among three generations.组卷：4引用：6难度：0.5 -
3．Few would have expected that viewers at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics would include animals.And yet，coverage of the event featured several sightings of wildlife，particularly leopard cats apparently seeking to get in on the action.
On Jan 31，on the alpine ski slopes（高山滑雪坡）in Yanqing district，90 kilometers northwest of Beijing，a leopard cat was spotted wandering through an award-ceremony rehearsal.The event caught the attention of volunteers and staff，with many snapping photos.Three days later，a Chinese photographer captured another leopard cat in the woods near the Olympic ski slopes.The creature ran past him，jumped over a fence and looked back.
Leopard cats are wild felids，slightly larger than house cats，and they mostly keep clear of human activity.However，according to Luo Shujin，a passionate skier and a conservation biologist at Peking University，the frequent appearance of the animals close to the ski runs indicates that the species has persisted in this human-dominated landscape，which is relatively close to Beijing，Strangely，their calm manner suggests they are not frightened by human activity.
In the absence of any research data，it is too early to draw any conclusions that the creation of the Olympic skiing venue has not affected the surrounding forests and wildlife.However，it's possible that the wild cats have to some extent already adapted to coexistence with humans，likely because people at the venue have not shown an aggressive attitude toward the animals since its construction.
According to Luo，wild cats are rarely seen so close to big cities，especially metropolitan cities. "I think this is a little-known side of Beijing，" says Luo，who is proud that such wildlife can be found so close to the capital city. "Such an event causes me to hope that we can try our best to ensure continued coexistence between wilderness and human settlements. "
（1）Which of the following best describes the presence of leopard cats around the venue？
A．Embarrassing.
B．Common.
C．Alarming.
D．Unexpected.
（2）What is the natural characteristic of a leopard cat？
A．Friendly to humans.
B．Sensitive to camera light.
C．Enthusiastic about sports.
D．Afraid of human activity.
（3）Which of the following may Professor Luo agree with？
A．Wildlife should not be disturbed by humans.
B．Wildlife need to be kept away from big cities.
C．Humans should live in harmony with wildlife.
D．Humans need to adapt to the lifestyles of wildlife.
（4）What is the text type of the passage？
A．A news report.
B．A sport review.
C．An official announcement.
D．An animal encyclopedia.组卷：6引用：2难度：0.7

9．The average present merely satisfies a temporary desire；the great one becomes more precious with time going by.
When I was a boy of fourteen，I needed to have 80 hours of community service per year and I used to take care of Mrs Long's garden，which was near the Presbyterian Church.As a junior high school student，I devoted myself to it，sweeping the fallen leaves and mowing the lawn （修剪草坪）.There I learnt how to cut away dry branches and even helped to plant a sapling （小树苗）.Tired as I was every time I finished my work，I did enjoy the time there for learning something new.I clearly remembered that Mrs Long，a nice and caring elder，always treated me to delicious meals and drinks.She also loved taking photos，always with an old camera in hand.It was said that the camera was passed down from her father and she cherished it a lot.
Several days before Christmas，she whispered to me， "When Christmas comes，I shall have a present for you. " I spent much time wondering what it would be.The boys I played with had baseball gloves，ice skates and bicycles，and I was so eager to acquire any one of these that I convinced myself that she intended to choose from among them.But at the same time，I had some doubts whether she would buy me such things because she was not that well-off.
The day before Christmas，I went there as before.With the work done，I was going to leave when she pulled me aside. "Kid，wait for a minute，" she said，leading me into her living room.She seated me on a chair，went to another room，and in a moment stood before me holding a small package that under no circumstances could hold a bicycle or a pair of skates or even a baseball glove.It weighed almost nothing.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I took the package with disappointment.
Opening the package，I was totally astonished.组卷：9引用：4难度：0.7
