1．Chinese New Year is a celebration marking the end of the winter season and the beginning of spring.This is why decorating rooms with plants，fruits and blooming flowers carries special significance.They represent the earth coming back to life and wishes for new beginnings.Here are some of the most popular things and their special meanings.
Oranges Trees
Orange trees are more than decorations；they are a symbol of good luck and wealth.They make great gifts and you see them many times decorated with red envelopes and messages of good blessings.The fruits are also some of the "lucky" foods，which are a must during the celebrations.
Bamboo
Chinese love their "Lucky Bamboo" plants and you will see them often in their homes and offices.Certainly during the holiday period，this plant is a must.Bamboo plants and stems are used frequently in feng shui and are associated with health，abundance and a happy home.They are easy to care for and make great presents.
Brunches of Plum Blossoms（梅花）
The beautiful long branches covered with pink-colored buds（蓓蕾）make fantastic decorations.The plum trees are the first to flower even as snow is melting after a cold winter.They represent the promise of spring and a renewal of life.
Peonies
Peonies stand for prosperity and peace and are considered as China's national flower；they are often a subject of classical paintings.The peony is also known as the "king of flowers" and represents royalty，virtue and honor.
Narcissi
Narcissi flower right around Chinese New Year and are considered as a symbol of luck and wealth.Their sweet fragrance（芳香） is also highly respected in Chinese culture.

2．To say there are many new holiday romantic comedies made for television every year is the kind of understatement nearly like a joke.One of the reasons why they tend to be formulaic（公式化的）is that to tell a love story in roughly an hour and a half without challenging an audience's settled expectations，there are only so many ways to go with the rhythm.Perhaps that's why Netflix has better luck with Dash&Lily，an eight-episode（八集） limited series that's got the charm that a lot of holiday films lack.
Our story begins when a lonely Lily leaves an interesting note in a book on the shelf at The Strand，hoping a stranger will start an adventure with her.Dash finds it and reads it，and he accepts its challenge.Thus begins a correspondence in which they each write down messages in the book and then leave it somewhere for the other，so that they never meet in person，but they get to send each other to their favorite places，sometimes to complete dares before the book can be found.Now，you do not want to think too carefully about this - the idea that Lily's hidden clue would be found by an age-appropriate straight boy who likes mysteries and looks like he was born to be her lover is the height of magic，so just stay relaxed and go with it.
These eight episodes，each around 30 minutes，never drag；they fly by joyfully.The ending，as is often the case with love stories，is a little messy but worth cheering for.It's as lovely and comfortable as you could want it，just about perfect for a weekend with a blanket over you.
（1）What made Dash&Lily stand out among other films？
A．Being formulaic to tell a romantic story.
B．Presenting a new romantic television show.
C．Attracting the audience with its typical charm.
D．Satisfying the audience's settled expectations.
（2）What does the underlined word "correspondence" in paragraph 2 refer to？
A．Relationship between two facts.
B．Communication connecting two persons.
C．Reports of study sent off by post.
D．Action of writing，receiving，and reading letters.
（3）Which of the following best describes Dash？
A．Preferring reading.
B．Behaving strangely.
C．Acting romantically.
D．Enjoying adventures.
（4）What is the purpose of this text？
A．To introduce a charming movie.
B．To recommend a holiday comedy.
C．To praise the romantic director.
D．To explain what makes a good film.組卷：1引用：1難度：0.5 -
3．Buying clothes for a special event，hiding the price tickets and returning them to the store the next day has for years been the method of economical shoppers.Today people are doing it just for social media.
A survey conducted by the credit card company Barclaycard revealed that nearly one in ten UK shoppers tends to buy clothing only to post photos on social media for likes.After the "outfit（裝束）of the day" makes it online，they return it to the store.According to Barclaycard，the "try before you buy" policy of online retailers （零售商）--- where people pay for clothing they order online after they try it on at home --- could be contributing to this rising trend.
But the rise of social media has meant that everyone，not just superstars，expects to build and maintain a personal brand.Since we're documenting our lives and posting them online for public judgment，getting caught in the same outfits more than once should be avoided.And the cost of all those outfits of the day adds up，which makes returning a popular way.
There are brands that tailor clothes specifically for social media shoppers，like Fashion Nova. "These are clothes made for social media：meant to be worn once，photographed and abandoned，" Allison P.Davis wrote in her report about the brand.Another favorite of the social media age is Rent the Runway，which lets customers rent designer clothing for a fee.
Some，however，are moving in the opposite direction.Groups promoting "work uniforms" have increased greatly in recent years，aiming to free women from "the annoyance of clothing decisions".The concept of the "capsule wardrobe"（膠囊衣柜），which calls for purchasing a small number of high-quality pieces instead of lots of trendy throwaway clothes，is also making a comeback.
（1）What does the survey by Barclaycard suggest？
A．Some Britons send outfits back after shoots.
B．Britons try on clothes before online purchases.
C．Britons follow the fashion stars closely.
D．Some Britons over-order and return clothes.
（2）What's Fashion Nova's special service？
A．Renting chargeable designer clothes.
B．Creating unique shopping experiences.
C．Offering customers single-use clothes.
D．Helping shoppers improve their clothing style.
（3）What's the idea behind the "capsule wardrobe"？
A．Better fewer，but better.
B．Less addition，but more enjoyment.
C．Less uniform，and more freedom.
D．More choices，and less annoyance.
（4）What's the purpose of the author to write the text？
A．To compare different wearing trends.
B．To criticize the "try before you buy" policy.
C．To advocate buying high-quality clothes.
D．To introduce Britain's new wearing trend.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5 -
4．Everyone needs to be safe，loved and to have a sense of belonging.These are inborn and natural basic needs.In an effort to have these needs satisfied，many of us tend to please others.And it works for a while.We find that we experience less conflict with others，but the conflict within ourselves grows.Saying "no" produces feeling of guilt and saying "yes" brings anger.
My father was in the military，so we moved frequently.Being shy，I didn't make friends.What's more，I grew up in a household where grades，image and how others saw our family were very important.In our household a "C" was unacceptable，a "B" should have been an "A" and an "A" meant the lesson was too easy.I was too skinny，my sister was too fat and my brother's lips and ears were too big for his tiny head.
To stop pleasing others is easier said than done.It's a long process，one in which I am consistently working to perfect.The turning point for me came shortly after I got married.The very first thing we did to end the cycle of pleasing others was develop our own identity as independent human beings and then as a couple.And then we developed a strong set of core（核心）values and a vision for our future.The third and one of the most valuable things we did during this process was develop our own personal influence on others and we valued deeply the opinions of the wiser and more successful people around us.
Besides，we should understand that sometimes helping people actually hurts jye.aim.The struggle is necessary to success.The struggle strengthens character，making people determined.So sometimes allowing people to struggle is the best thing you can do for them.
（1）How are we likely to feel when pleasing others？
A．Angry.
B．Satisfied.
C．Guilty.
D．Happy.
（2）What can we infer from the author's experience as a child？
A．He grew up doing a lot of housework.
B．It was hard for him to adapt to the moving life.
C．He realized the value of opinions from others.
D．His parents had great expectations of the children.
（3）What is the third paragraph mainly about？
A．What steps the author took to go on pleasing others.
B．Why the author further developed his values and character.
C．How the author stepped out of the cycle of pleasing others.
D．When the author turned to others for their valuable opinions.
（4）What does the author suggest doing？
A．Helping others without delay.
B．Thinking twice before offering help.
C．Refusing to help others.
D．Leaving someone in trouble alone.組卷：1引用：2難度：0.5

5．Imagine you are on a long car trip.It is night and you take a wrong turn onto a dark country road.With a sinking feeling，you realize that you have no idea where you are.

For many years，scientists have been studying what's behind the strong ability of migrating birds to find their way to their winter and summer homes.Here is one thing that they agree on.（4）.This compass leads them to make their very first autumn flight in the direction that has been long-travelled by the rest of their species.（5）.
A.Then you glance up at the sky
B.So birds are born knowing which way home is
C.They do it in part by reading directions in the sky
D.Magnetism is important for all animals，especially birds and fishes
