• 2．In the South China Sea，there is a group of Jiaoren，or Chinese mermaids （美人魚），whose teardrops become pearls after they fall.To the north of Kunlun Mountains，there's a monster called Xiangliu，which has nine heads with human faces but the body of a snake.
     These magic creatures from the ancient book of legends Shan Hai Jing，which inspired J.K.Rowling for her Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them series，are now brought back to life by a young Chinese girl in her photos.
     Chen Xin，who learned painting as a child，said she started the photo series to commemorate （紀(jì)念） the days she spent with her grandma.
     Every night before she went to sleep，her grandma told her stories in Shan Hai Jing. "I remember，especially in the summer nights，my grandma stayed outside to enjoy the light wind，" Chen said. "She sat on a rocking chair while I counted the stars and listened to her stories." These stories opened her mind to an imaginative world with fantastic creatures.
     To design the makeup and look of these creatures，Chen checked documents and combined the images with the appearance of animals.She used various means and materials to make the items look like horns or tails. "I used real yak horns （牦牛角）.It's difficult to fix them onto the head and face of models，as they will drop.So it takes a long time，" Chen said.She also chose places whose geographical conditions met the descriptions of the creatures for photos. "For example，some creatures live in areas surrounded by rocks，so I will try to find such a place，" she said.
     Recently，Chen has been working on another two photo series about the 24 solar terms and Chinese food. "I'm happy that more and more people are now paying attention to and falling in love with Chinese traditional culture，" she said.
  
  （1）Why does the author write the first paragraph？

  
  A．To amuse the readers.
  B．To recommend an ancient book.
  C．To introduce the topic of the text.
  D．To stress the diversity of Chinese culture.
  （2）Why did Chen start the photo series？

  
  A．To become famous.
  B．To show off her talent.
  C．To spread traditional Chinese culture.
  D．To remember the happy days with her grandma.
  （3）What opened Chen's mind to an imaginative world？

  
  A．Chen's carefree childhood.
  B．Those peaceful starry nights.
  C．One of J.K.Rowling's books.
  D．Stories told by Chen's grandma.
  （4）What's the main idea of Paragraph 5？

  
  A．How to draw creatures from Shan Hai Jing.

• 3．For more than 30 years，Mauro Morandi has been the only resident of a beautiful island the Mediterranean sea.He hoped to make it his life-long home，but that is now under threat.
     Morandi now faces eviction（驅(qū)逐）from the Isle of Budelli，off the coast of Sardinia，if he doesn't voluntarily leave.Local authorities are speeding up plans to turn his hut into an environmental observatory.
  Morandi arrived on the island by accident while attempting to sail from Italy to Polynesia 31 years ago.He fell in love with the pure water，coral sands and beautiful sunsets，and decided to stay.He took over from the previous caretaker shortly afterward and，at the age of 81，he's still there and ready to fight for his home，whatever it takes.
     "I wouldn't know where else to go live—this is my home.All I ask is，if I must be sent away during the reconstruction work，that I can come back after and keep doing what I do each day：guard the pink coral beach，keep tourists at bay，and protect nature.I fear that if I'm gone，the pink coral beach will survive only on postcards from the past，"Morandi says.An online petition（請?jiān)福?has been launched to this end，which in just a few days has gathered more than 2，600 supporters across the world.
     The island has changed ownership several times over the last few years.Since 20 Budelli has been owned by La Maddalena's National Park，making Morandi's role a thing of the past.The authorities say they are simply upholding the law."Our priority is to intervene against all illegal construction inside the park，including Morandi's hut.We need to set an example：protect our environment by first restoring this illegal structure，and then move on with a new project which will likely be a scientific center for the spreading of environmental awareness，"La Maddalena's National Park president Fabbrizio Fonnesu says.
  
  （1）Why did Morandi choose to live on Budelli about three decades ago？

  
  A．Because he wanted to save the island.

  （2）What worries Morandi at the thought of leaving Budelli？

  
  A．The reconstruction work of the natural park.
  B．The possible damage to the environment.
  C．The change of the island's ownership.
  D．The loss of his hut on the island.
  （3）How does Fonnesu look at Morandi's hut？

  
  A．It is against the law.
  B．It is a witness of history.
  C．It is dangerous to live in.
  D．It is a landmark of Budelli.
  （4）Where is the text probably from？

  
  A．A research paper.
  B．A guidebook.
  C．An autobiography.

• 9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
  Have you ever accepted others' help？Do you remember him or her？You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone.Sometimes you may think your help is so small，but as a matter of fact，what you do is of vital significance to others.
      When young，I worked as an English teacher in a university.During the summer vacation，I was invited to be an instructor at a high school leadership camp by a college.Having been highly involved in many campus activities，I jumped at the opportunity.
      About an hour into the first day of camp，immersed （沉浸于） in communications and interactions，I noticed the boy in black for the first time.Small and skinny，the boy was seated alone，staring into space and his obvious discomfort and shyness made him appear fragile.The desperate loneliness he revealed almost stopped me from approaching him，but I remembered the instructions from the senior staff- to stay alert for campers who might fall left out.
      I could sense that he was in a new world，that this whole surroundings appeared foreign to him.But I somehow knew it wouldn't be right to push him，either.That evening at our nightly staff meeting，I made my concerns about him，I explained to my fellow staff members my impression of him and asked them to pay special attention and spend time with him when they could.In the meantime，it struck me that I should do what I could to give him a hand.I argued that he needed a friend，one who could share happiness and sorrow with him.I hoped to be his friend，his real friend to help him go through the challenging period.
  
  注意：
  （1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
  （2）請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
