本文是說(shuō)明文，介紹了中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)24節(jié)氣中的小滿(mǎn)。

【1】

此題線(xiàn)索是詞匯復(fù)現(xiàn)。空前一句提到“在中國(guó)，幾千年前創(chuàng)造24節(jié)氣是用來(lái)指導(dǎo)農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)的”；選項(xiàng)D意思為：但節(jié)氣文化仍然指導(dǎo)人們的生活方面起作用。 選項(xiàng)D中“the solar term culture”和空前一句中的“the 24 solar terms”詞匯重復(fù)，“guide people's lives”與空前一句中“guide agricultural production”相對(duì)。故選D項(xiàng)。

【2】

此題線(xiàn)索是邏輯。空前一句提到“這是享受魚(yú)蝦的好時(shí)節(jié)”；選項(xiàng)B意思為：也是漁民的收獲季節(jié)。選項(xiàng)B 中 also 表示遞進(jìn)關(guān)系。故選B項(xiàng)。

【3】

【4】

【題目】 Although most people believe that owning a business or working on an idea means you are an entrepreneur (企業(yè)家), the reality is that entrepreneurship is so much more than just these two things. It is about the ability to innovate (創(chuàng)新) by helping society progress. For those who aspire to become real entrepreneurs, the path to turn your thought into entrepreneurship is one that requires you to know yourself.

Recognize what skills you are good at. Everybody wants money. But many fail to realize that money is the extension ( 延伸) of your skills, so the most important aspect of learning to make money starts by knowing what skills you have. Make a list of your skills and you should see where your strengths lie. The goal with this exercise is to recognize what skills you are good at naturally. Make good use of them until you finally change more of your skills into usable abilities for your business.

Make use of your confidence to create belief. Confidence is a result of repeating one thing. The more you practice doing something, the more confident you become in the process needed to see it to the end. Starting a business requires confidence, so most people who have zero confidence in the process fail to get started because it is an unknown area. You have to believe in the idea, the process and the ability within yourself to bring your business project to life. Without confidence, belief doesn't exist; without belief, the chances of giving up are high.

Allow your love to become enthusiasm. The last ingredient outside of your skills and confidence is the ability to focus on ideas that you feel enthusiastic about. Having passion will push you to struggle for something you love and turn that longing into action. The goal is to identify topics of interest so that you can start showing some aspects of passion as you start your project. The closer a project is to your heart, the less pessimistic you will become when results don't go your way.

【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

A.It is very difficult for us to know our skills.

B.Knowing your skills is the first step to learn to make money.

C.To recognize your skills will surely make your business successful.

D.To recognize your skills is more important than making money.

【2】What's the importance of enthusiasm for us?

A.It can help us find out what we love.

B.It can make us never feel pessimistic.

C.It can push us to work hard on our goals.

D.It will make us succeed in whatever we are doing.

【3】What does this passage mainly talk about?

A.The advantages of confidence.

B.The ability to focus on ideas.

C.Why people want to be an entrepreneur.

D.How you can go from ideas to an entrepreneur.

Musée du Quai Branly

As Paris’s main home to non-European art, objects, and culture, this Jean Nouvel-designed museum exhibits a collection of 3,500 pieces, many of which were taken from various countries during the vast period of French Colonialism.

【題目】 Although you can possibly get by as a tourist in weeks, mastering a language is a long-term commitment taking years, not months. The FSI has classified languages in degrees of difficulty for English speakers. Chinese takes approximately 88 weeks or 2,200 hours ranking top 5 along with Arabic, Korean and Japanese.

Each Chinese dialect is effectively another language but Mandarin(Putonghua in Chinese, which means the common language)is considered the official tongue in modern China. They all share roughly one evolving writing system, referred to as written language invented for administering a large, diverse empire.

To complicate(使復(fù)雜)the matter further, there are two main types of written Chinese characters under the same writing system: the traditional Chinese used in Hong Kong and Taiwan and the simplified Chinese in mainland China. For example, fly is written as 飛 in traditional Chinese and 飛 in simplified Chinese. They’re basically the same character written in two different ways but pronounced differently when spoken in different dialects.

Each written word when spoken is mutually incomprehensible between a Mandarin speaker in Beijing and a Cantonese speaker in Hong Kong. If you think that’s odd, consider our number system: the symbol “9” is universally recognized but it’s pronounced “nine” in English and “devet” in Slovenian.

Every word must be memorized separately as you can’t guess its pronunciation from the script-but one could say the same of English if you consider plough, dough and tough.

Meanwhile, dictionaries list words according to stroke(筆畫(huà))count. These go from one to over 60 strokes. The archaic character zhé- which appropriately, means “verbose” - has 64 strokes.

And then there are the pronunciation challenges. There are four tones in Mandarin: high pitch (say G in a musical scale), rising pitch(like from C to G), falling(from G to C)and falling low then rising(C to B to G)- and if you think that’s difficult, there are nine tones in Cantonese. In Mandarin, there is a whole poem, “The Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den” with just the syllable “shi” repeated 107 times in various tones. In other words, if you are tone-deaf you might as well give up now.

【1】What do all Chinese dialects have in common?

A.They were invented by the emperor.

B.They have the same writing system.

C.They evolve in the same way.

D.They serve the same purpose.

【2】Why does the author mention the symbol “9” in Paragraph 4?

A.To prove different pronunciations of Chinese dialects

B.To indicate the similarities in all languages.

C.To show that Chinese is an odd language.

D.To compare English with Slovenian.

【3】What challenge does the author think is difficult to overcome?

A.Complicated scripts and strokes.

B.Different types of characters.

C.Various tones.

D.Too many dialects.

【4】What is the main idea of this passage?

A.Chinese has different dialects.

B.Chinese is very difficult to learn.

C.Chinese is an ever-developing language.

D.Chinese sounds like music and poems.

【題目】 When we use the term “disability,” many people think about those obvious disabilities like blindness. However, disabilities also include a number of other conditions that typically are invisible (無(wú)形) to others such as hearing problems and sleep disorders. 【1】 For example, someone with sclerosis (硬化癥) looks “normal” but has to use a parking space for people with disabilities.

No one really knows for sure whether someone has an invisible disability unless it is disclosed (公開(kāi)). The decision about whether to disclose an invisible disability can weigh heavily on an individual, making social and work situations especially challenging. The burden of hiding a disability creates stress in social and work situations that might affect health and well-being badly.

【2】 It also increases the possibility that the person will find and develop a social support network with others who might have similar conditions or experiences.

Despite the benefits of disclosing, research reports that individuals with invisible disabilities often do not disclose their conditions. 【3】 Reasons might be as follows. First, even if protected by law from discrimination, they still face potential prejudice from others. Second, when someone who “l(fā)ooks normal” says he has a disability and requests special services, people might question whether the disability really exists. 【4】 Sometimes, people might experience the symptoms without realizing.

【5】 They must carefully weigh the potential benefits of not disclosing against the cost to health and well-being. We should be aware of the unique challenges facing people with invisible disabilities and put ourselves in their shoes.

A.Invisible disabilities are more difficult to cure.

B.These conditions can make everyday activities difficult.

C.Individuals with invisible disabilities should make wise decisions.

D.On the contrary, disclosure relieves the stress of hiding the condition.

E.They might assume the person is only trying to gain special privileges.

F.Otherwise, people with invisible disabilities should disclose their conditions.

G.This is especially true if they are young and have recently acquired the disability.
