Ⅲ.[2018·辽阳]回答问题
阅读下面短文,并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题后面的词数要求）。
In ancient China, it was common that the eldest son should look after the parents. But Confucius’ elder brother was disabled, so Confucius（孔子） had to take care of his mother till she died in 535 BC.One of his teachings was that a person should feel or express great sadness for their parents’ death for three years. The reason was that they looked after the child completely until it was three. Filial piety（孝道） is very important in Confucius’ thought.
After he had finished mourning（守孝） for his mother, he began to teach and got followers around him. How many students did Confucius get? We are not sure. It is believed that 72 of them were very famous. Some of his students came from poor families; others were from rich families. He thought everyone should have a right to receive education.
Confucius lived in a time of being unstable（不稳定的）, so many of his teachings were connected to social harmony（和谐）. He thought, in a family, parents should behave like parents, caring for the young, while children should behave like children, knowing how to look after the old. If such relationships are remained, a country will be peaceful and a family will be harmonious（和睦的）.
“Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself.”
“When one’s parents are alive, one should not go far away.”
These sayings, together with many others, were beautifully written in Chinese ancient texts. They have been learned by Chinese people over the centuries.
21.How many of Confucius’ students became famous? （不超过5个词）
22.What was Confucius’ idea about receiving education? （不超过10个词）
23.Why were many of his teachings connected to social harmony? （不超过10个词）

参考答案
Ⅰ.1.C
2.A nobody意为“没有人”;anybody意为“任何人”;everybody意为“每个人”;somebody意为“某人”。根据前
7
面的“Be confident!”可推知,如果你自己都不相信自己,那没人会相信你。故选A。
3.A 4.B 5.A
6.A pick up意为“捡起,接送”;look after意为“照顾”;drop in意为“顺便走访”;send for意为“派人去叫”。句意:公共汽车在机场外接送乘客。故选A。
7.D 根据“Listen! She is singing in the next room.”可知,莉莉有一副优美的“嗓音”,故选D。
8.A 考查动词的时态。根据时间状语“just now”可知,答语中的动作表示“刚才正在打电话”,用过去进行时。故选A。
9.D 10.A
Ⅱ.[主旨大意] 本文向我们讲述了戴维和他最亲密的朋友埃米之间的故事。埃米是一个81岁的生活在佛罗里达州的老太太。他们的友谊源自一场比赛。比赛后他们成为了朋友。戴维告诉她关于自己的音乐梦。然而,那时候,生活对戴维来说是艰辛的。他几乎没有钱和时间来演奏音乐。在他几乎灰心的时候,埃米给了他许多帮助和支持。两年后,他在纽约成功举办了第一场音乐会。当被采访的时候,埃米说这没什么,当朋友需要的时候,应该帮助他们。
11.B 根据下句“My best friend is Amy”可知此处表示“谈论他们最亲密的朋友是谁”;横线后面的动词是were,因此用名词复数。故选B。
12.D 当某人/物第一次出现的时候用“a/an”来表示“一个”,此处介绍埃米是一个81岁的生活在佛罗里达州的老太太,排除A和B;又因eighty-one以元音音素开头,故使用an来表示“一个”。故选D。
13.A
14.B 这句和上句表示的是同一段时间内发生的事情。根据上句的时间状语at that time可知这句话也用一般过去时态。故选B。
15.B 根据后半句“埃米给了他许多帮助并且支持他的梦想”可推知这是埃米在他灰心的时候所做的事情。故选B。
16.C
17.A 横线处所填内容和前面的what一起构成宾语从句,作动词know的宾语。宾语从句的语序为陈述语序,即:特殊疑问词+主语+谓语动词+其他,排除B和C;又因主句的谓语动词wanted是过去时,所以宾语从句的动词也用一般过去时。故选A。
18.C 因横线后面有than,可知此处填比较级形式。句意:令他吃惊的是,埃米和戴维之间的友谊比他想象中的更美丽。
19.D 根据整篇短文的时态可知这是在叙述过去发生的事情,所以这句话也用一般过去时的被动语态。又因主语是many people,所以选D。
20.A 根据上面埃米的做法可知埃米在此处想要表达“当朋友需要的时候,我们应该帮助他们”,故选A。
Ⅲ.21.72 of them.
22.Everyone should have a right to receive education.
23.Because he lived in a time of being unstable.

Ⅴ. Onepossibleversion:
Reading Is Very Important
It’s very important for us students to do some reading. And there are so many good points when we do that. First of all, we can get lots of knowledge we didn’t know, especially when we are reading some scientific books or historical ones. And reading can bring so much fun to our life. If we read some jokes or interesting stories, it’s easy for us to keep happy all day. Also, it’s a good way to relax. After a long day’s work, just take a book to read, imagining what’s happening in the book, so our brains could get enough rest.
Since reading can help us so much, I enjoy reading a lot. I like to read after school, when I finish my homework. And my favorite time is the summer vacation, because I can get lots of nice books to read without worrying about time! And I write down what I think after reading each book!
So, you know how much reading can bring us! What are you waiting for? Let’s begin now!
