the sun is at its greatest distance from the equator(赤道)It is also the shortest day of the year.)According to an ancient legend，Buddha asked all the animals to meet him on Chinese New Year.12 animals came，and Buddha named a year after each animal.The animals were：the rat，ox，tiger，rabbit，dragon，snake，horse，goat，monkey，rooster，dog and pig.A Good Year to Be a PigBuddha announced that people born in each animals year would have some of that animals personality.If you were born in 1959，1971，1983 or 1995，you were born in the year of the Pig.People who were born in these years are believed to be polite，honest，hardworking and loyal.They are also supposed to be lucky，which is why many Chinese like to have babies in a Pig year.They are said to get along best with people born under the year of the Rabbit，Goat，Tiger，Dragon，Horse and Dog.Festivals，Lions and FeastsOn Chinese New Years Eve，the Chinese celebrate with fireworks，family gatherings，and feasts.One of the most popular ways to celebrate the holiday is the lion dance.The lion is considered a holy(神圣的)animal.During celebrations，dancers dressed as lions (or holding up elaborate paper lions in the air) perform to bring good luck to the people they visit at their homes or businesses.People often wear in red，which symbolizes fire.Legend has it that fire can drive away bad luck.The 15day New Year season is celebrated with firecrackers，dragon dances and visits to friends and relatives.The celebrations end with the Lantern Festival，when brightly colored lanterns are hung in parks around China.5The topic of the passage is

to save yourself？Please read the following passage.Escaping a fire is a serious matter.Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life.It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family，such as stairways and fire escapes but not lifts.From the lower floors of the buildings，escaping through windows is possible.Learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground.An average (平均高度的) person，hanging by the fingertips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground.It is about the height of an average man.Of course，it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help.Be sure to keep the door closed.Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room.Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leaked(渗) into the room.On a second or third floor，the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof.From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely.Dropping onto cement(水泥) might end in injury.Bushes(灌木丛) and grass can help to break a fall.9It is important to Aput out the fire in the burning houseBknow the ways to escape the fireCjump out of the burning houseDkeep the door closed【解析】细节理解题。由第二段最后一句“It is important to know the ways

following escaping ways is NOT right?AYou can escape through stairways.BYou can choose fire escapes.CEscape from the windows that open onto a roof.DUse a lift to come down at once.【解析】细节理解题。由第二段最后一句可知，人们可以从stairways和fire escapes逃生，but not lifts(但不能从电梯)，因为那是相当危险的。【答案】D12The best title of the passage is AEscaping from the WindowsBSave Yourself in the Burning HouseCKnowledge on FireDWaiting for Help【解析】标题归纳题。通读全文后可知，短文的大意很明显，“在着火的大楼中自救”应是短文的主题，故选B。【答案】BDWhen I was 12 years old，I was at a very hard stage in life.I was short and fat，which was bad for a girl，so

coach”Unfortunately，I just felt like a terrible disappointment to my mother.One summer afternoon，my mother told us we were going to visit Uncle David.Since we lived in an apartment，going to the country was quite a treat.My Uncle David always had a way of making me feel special.When we arrived，my uncle and cousin Jeff were throwing metal rings at two holes in the ground.I was curious about what they were doing so I went over to watch.Noticing that I was standing there，my uncle asked if I had ever played washers.Being a “city girl”，my reply was that the only“washers” I knew were the ones that cleaned clothes.To my embarrassment，Uncle David chuckling (咯咯笑)，explained that the metal rings were called washers.I was shocked to hear my uncle saying he wanted me to take his place.He then gave me the washers and gave tips on how to throw better.Unwillingly，I joined Jeff.Gradually，I found myself not only enjoying but also wanting to win this game.The washer went into the air and began to fall.Then a cloud of dust appeared as the washer sank into the hole.My first try! I had actually thrown the washer into the hole!Although twentythree summers have gone by since that day，this small success in washer playing helped me get back selfconfidence lost when I struggled with the game of softball.13Why did the author live a hard life at the age of twelve?ABecause her body has many health problems.BBecause coordination was her weakest feature.CBecause she was forced to learn to play softball.DBecause her efforts at softball were disappointing.【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段“Night after night，I would try my best to impressmy coachUnfortunately，I just felt like a terrible disappointment to my mother.”可知选D。【答案】D14Which is the RIGHT time order of the changes in the authors feelings when she was at her uncles?ACuriousembarrassedshockedpleased.BShockedcuriousembarrassedpleased.CPleasedembarrassedcuriousshocked.DCuriousshockedpleasedembarrassed.【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段“I was curious about what they were doing.”，第四段中“To my embarrassment.I was shocked to hear my uncle saying.”以及第五段中“I found myself not only enjoying but also wanting to win this game.”可知正确顺序是A项。【答案】A15The main purpose of the passage is to Ashow the influence of the authors mother on herBexplain how the author picked up her confidenceCexplain to us why the author likes playing washersDshow the problem between the author and her mother【解析】主旨大意题。根据全文以及最后一段“.this small success in washer playing helped me get back selfconfidence lost when I struggled with the game of softball.”可知选B。【答案】B.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 16 Most fitness advice is aimed at a general audience.But if youre an older adult，the International Council on Active Aging (ICAA) has some tips for seniors to get started and keep them at the top of their game. 17 Talk with your doctor about getting permission to begin a fitness program and making any changes to suit your situation. 18 Before starting，pick a program youll enjoy，so youll do it regularly.Check out the facility and the staff.Is the place friendly?
