ADu Kun, a Chinese boy is called “the youngest writer in the world.” He has written three books till now. Du Kun was born in Jiangsu in 1994. When he was 7 months old, his parents started working in over 30 different cities, such as Xi'an and Shenzhen. This kind of life gave him things to think and write about. When he was 9 months old, he could speak and at the age of one, he could say five to six hundred words. At three, he could look up words in the dictionary. At four, his father taught him how to learn by himself. His parents like reading very much. So does he. At the age of 5, he began writing fairy tales. At the age of 6, he wrote a novel about his life in different cities with his parents. His fairy tales are all from his life. One day, he found many mice in the house. They not only ate their food but also hurt his mother's hand. So he thought, “If we give mice the stomach of cows, they will eat grass and they will be helpful to people.” This was his first fairy tales Change Stomach for Mice.

When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animalsuse different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.9.Which of the following eats only one type of food?A. the small birdB. the white butterflyC. the bearD. the fox10.

We can learn from the last paragraph that __________.A. food is chosen for a good reasonB. French and British food is goodC. some people have few choices of foodD. some people care little about healthy dietDThe importance of reading literature often seems lost on many Chinese people. Even experts in education think that the first goalof education is to encourage a love of learning. There is thereforethe possibility of something wrong with the way students are taught here.Why should they read literature? Do stories have value compared with the reading and learning of facts? Studies show clearly that the most powerful ways of learning are by experience, action and doing experiments and taking risks. Yet there are so many important things to learn that cannot be learned in these ways: feelings, problem solving, danger and relationships, for example. Research into this has shown how deep reading is a valuableexperience different to a learning of words or facts. Keen(热心的) readers of literature show a better understanding of others. Their abilities to make good decisions are raised. Young children who enjoy a parent reading stories to them show greater awareness(意识) when they reach school age.The best schools do seem to provide a limited (有限的) chance to enjoy literature, usually about the Chinese classic stories but thereis not enough "free" time for students. There are enough reading materials (材料). Chinese book shops are full of story books, and most of them are of good quality (质量) in terms of content, plot (情节) and language. Was there not a Chinese author who received a Nobel Prize for literature recently? There are moves in Chinese education to promote (提升) decision making and shared values. The value of literature is helpful to these as well as to the future of China.13．What does the author think of the way students are educated in China?A．He doesn't quite accept it. B．He is interested in it. C．He is proud of it. D．He is confident about it. 14．Which is not among the most powerful ways of learning according to paragraph 2?A．By experience. B．By taking risks.C．By doing experiments. D．By reading deeply. 15．What can be learned from the last paragraph?A．Chinese students like reading stories as they get older.B．Reading literature helps develop good values.C．Stories in Chinese bookstores are generally of poor quality. D．Chinese students have no chance to read enough materials. 16．What's the main idea of the text?A．Literature is a kind of art.B．Good reading materials are in great need.C．Reading literature should be valued.D．Something is wrong with Chinese education.EKnowing Mr I.M. Pei, and establishing the LM. Pei Foundation with his son, Didi Pei, are among the most fortunate things to ever happen to me.Like many Chinese Americans, I chose to study architecture in 1975, simply because I wanted to be the next I.M. Pei. He was the inspiration for my career and my life. Unfortunately when I applied for a job at his office after graduation in 1980, his associate partner, Kellogg Wong told me that I was too young and inexperienced, and advised me to try again after a few years.In 1984, however, I set up my own firm, James Jao Associates. It was the heyday of my firm in the late 1980s, designing about 30 percent of new residential family buildings in Queens. The joke at the time was that I.M. Pei was the biggest Chinese American architectural firm with over 2,800 employees, and James Jao with 100 was the second largest.In the summer of 1990, I had the first opportunity to pay Mr Pei a personal visit at his office. After knowing my age, he congratulated me for breaking what he thought to be the curse (诅咒) that no architect can be famous until after the age of 40. He even said that I had a greater influence than him. I was surprised by his nice words. However, I don’t think anyone, especially me, will ever be as influential as him.In November, 2018, after my 60th birthday celebrations, I met Mr Pei in his apartment discussing the establishment of the I.M. Pei Foundation, a non-profit organization to promote the philosophy of his works and, most importantly, his spirit of achieving excellence in art and culture.This morning I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of a great architectural legend (传奇) of our time. At the age of 102, Mr Pei died with great achievements to his name.Rest in peace, Mr Pei. We will vow to carry on your torch (火炬) and your spirit because you are the one only I.M. Pei.James C Jao,May 16th. 2019 17．The writer chose to study architecture because ________. A．she wanted to make as much money as I.M. PeiB．she wanted to be a great architect(建筑师) like I.M. PeiC．she wanted to work in I.M. Pei’s officeD．she wanted to have the lessons of I.M. Pei18．The underlined word “heyday” in the third paragraph probably means ________.A．the golden period B．the weakest periodC．the darkest period D．the toughest period 19．What did I.M. Pei think of James Jao?A．She was inexperienced. B．She was too young.C．She was very beautiful. D．She was very excellent. 20．What is the purpose of writing this passage?A．To introduce I.M. PeiB．In memory of I.M. PeiC．To tell her successful experienceD．To advertise the I.M. Pei Foundation第二节(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。
