Since 2018, more than 80 percent of the Forbidden City has been opened to the public and the number of tourists increased rapidly and reached to 1.7million.In recent years, the Palace Museum has drawn more and more peoples attention by its fresh new events. From new media tools to the creative cultural products, from grand activities to attractive TV shows, the Palace Museum has achieved amazing success. To keep pace with the times, the old palace is updating (更新) in many fashionable ways.Since 2014, to deliver the image of A Warm Forbidden City to the public, new media tools of the Palace Museum have changed a lot. Its Weibo keeps showing the palaces charm (魅力) by posting its beautiful photos of four seasons and lovely cats. From the coldness of history to the style of common touch, the image undoubtedly won more favors.Museumthemed products, such as tapes, fans, notebooks and lipsticks, are designed in fashionable ways. They often cause a buzz on Chinese social networks. The sales approached (接近) CNY 1.5 billion in 2017. These creations provide a new view for understanding the palace and traditional culture, said a user on Weibo. The increased income, without raising the ticket price, also made it possible for the Palace Museum to hold 60,000 educational activities in 2018.The light festival is another idea. It was the first time the Palace Museum was lit up at night and opened to the public for the Lantern Festival. The light show, which provided audience with full sensory (感官的) experiences, has wowed the crowd. Therefore, people have a new choice to celebrate the Lantern Festival besides watching the Gala Show on TV at home.For those who have been to the museum before, a TV show about the Forbidden City evokes (唤起) their interests in visiting it again. As an audience said, Shang Xin Le Gu Gong makes me realize that there are always unknown areas to explore in the Forbidden City. In another TV show, The Nations Greatest Treasures, nine leading museums come together to introduce the treasures they look after. This has further raised peoples interests in more museums. These TV shows have brought an instant cultural heat and greatly increased the number of visitors in these museums.Nation stays alive when its culture stays alive. Through these ways, the Palace Museum and other museums not only carry forward their own history, but also call on peoples love for traditional culture. After all, it is the memory and symbol of a countrys history and the precious wealth of all mankind.（1） The Palace Museum has achieved success in recent years, because it has .

Almost each person says sorry about eight times each day-and one in eight people apologize as many as 20 times a day.As you may have seen, the British apologize more often than members of other cultures. A research shows that in many cases, peoples love of saying sorry in Britain goes a little further than it does for Americans. For example, about 15 British people would saysorry while only 10 from theUS would do this if they sneezed, if they corrected someones mistake or if someone knocked into them.In the old days, sorry was used to express regret and sadness for having done something wrong. But now British people use the expression as a way of showing good manners. For example, they might say sorry instead of excuse me, pardon, what or whatever.People in Britain also use sorry when they share the same feeling with others-so they might say sorry about the rain.However, British peoples use of sorry may make things very confusing（迷惑不清）and difficult for foreigners who are not familiar with their ways. But actually, people in Britain pay much attention to the feelings of others. This is the very reason why they apologize every t day.（1） What does the passage mainly talk about? A . What daily expressions British people often use.B . How people in Britain keep in touch with foreigners.C . The different meanings of sorry in and out T of Britain.D . Why British people say sorry many times every day.（2） In the old days, people said sorry when they . A . did something wrongB . asked the wayC . wanted to repeat somethingD . made a choice（3） Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A . Americans say sorry more than British people.B . Even British people get confused when they say sorry.C . Almost every person in Britain says sorry 20 times a day.D . The British also say sorry to share the same feeling with others.（4） From the passage we can learn that British people . A . like to talk about the weatherB . care a lot about othersC . are difficult to get along withD . love to correct mistakes21. （8分） 阅读理解 Let children learn to Judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other peoples. In the same way, children learning to do all the other things: they learn to do without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle, compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not. If it is a matter of right answer, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine(常规)work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he cant find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, and how to know what they know or do not know. （1） According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by . A . listening to skilled peoples adviceB . asking older people many questionsC . making mistakes and having them correctedD . doing what other people do（2） Which of the following does the writer think teachers should NOT do? A . Give children correct answers.B . Allow children to make mistakes.C . Point Out childrens mistakes to them.D . Let children mark their own work.（3） According to the writer, teachers in school should . A . allow children to learn from each otherB . point out childrens mistakes whenever foundC . give children more book knowledgeD . correct childrens mistakes as soon as possible（4） The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are . A . different from learning other skillsB . the same as learning skillsC . more important than other skillsD . not really important skills五、 语法填空 (共1题；共10分)22. （10分） My father is getting a little_(fat) than he was five years ago.六、 书面表达 (共1题；共10分)23. （10分） (2018济宁) 某英文网站的“ Student Life”栏目正在向中学生征文，标题为“ A time when I made someone happy”，请你写一篇英文稿件，内容需包括以下要点:1）Who was the person you made happy?2）When was it?3）What did you say or do?4）Why did it make him/her happy?5）How did you feel at that moment?注意：1）词数：100左右（题目不计入总词数）。2）文中不得出现可能透考生真实身份的任何信息。第 20 页 共 20 页参考答案一、 选出与划线部分意思相近的一项。 (共8题；共16分)1、答案：略2、答案：略3、答案：略4、答案：略5、答案：略6、答案：略7、答案：略8、答案：略二、 单选题 (共7题；共14分)9、答案：略10、答案：略11、答案：略12、答案：略13、答案：略14、答案：略15、答案：略三、 完形填空 (共1题；共10分)16、答案：略四、 阅读理解 (共5题；共40分)17、答案：略18、答案：略19、答案：略20、答案：略21、答案：略五、 语法填空 (共1题；共10分)22、答案：略六、 书面表达 (共1题；共10分)23、答案：略
