①As a saying goes, “When one drinks water, one must not forget where it comes from.” However, many teenagers only care more about themselves instead of other things. Gratifyingly, little Ming is an exceptional. The boy who lived in Zhengzhou by the Yellow River, asked his mother a question which was puzzling him “Mum, why isn't our water dirty Why does it taste so fresh ” His mother smiled, and told him “That's because the water in our house comes from the Dan River in the south, by means of the South-to-North Water Diversion (转移) Project.”
What is the South-to-North Water Diversion Project
②As early as 1952, Chairman Mao Zedong pointed out“There is plenty of water in the south of our country, but a shortage of water in the north. If possible, we should borrow some water from the south.”This was the first time the great idea of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project had been mentioned. This project, as its name suggests, simply means ________.
How is the water diverted
③From the plan for the project, you can discover that most of the water will come from the Yangtze River. This is because the Yangtze River is China's largest river basin, where water resources are constantly stable. You can also discover that the whole project is divided into western, central and eastern routes, to be completed one after the other, starting with the eastern one. And a close look at the plan will show that the Yangtze River's water is extracted (抽取) by a pumping station, and is sent through a channel over one thousand kilometers to Tianjin and other places nearby.
④China's great water diversion project has transferred nearly 30 billion cubic meters of water in the past five years. The first part of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project's central route has directly helped over 120 million people since it went into operation on Dec. 12, 2014, according to the Ministry of Water Resources.
38. The writer's main purpose in writing the first paragraph is ________.
A. To introduce the topic and catch readers' attention.
B. To explain the reason for the clean and sweet water clearly.
C. To tell the readers what the people's life in Zhengzhou is like.
D. To show the route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.
39. Which sentence should go on the empty line in Paragraph 2
A. diverting water from the Yangtze River to the Yellow River.
B. diverting water from the Yellow River to the Yangtze River.
C. diverting water from North China to the southern parts of the country.
D. diverting water from South China to the northern parts of the country.
40. According to the passage, the correct order is ________.
①Over 120 million people have benefited from the project.
②The great project started with the eastern route.
③On Dec. 12, 2014 the project was put into use.
④Chairman Mao Zedong advised to borrow water from the south.
⑤The situation of water shortage in the north was very serious.
A.④⑤②③① B.⑤④②③① C.⑤④①②③ D.④⑤①②③
41. What's the best title for this passage
A. Three routes of the Water Diversion Project B. The South-to-North Water Diversion Project
C. Little Ming's Question and Mum's Answer D. The report from the Ministry of Water Resources
D
①Gu Jinling, a 12-year-old girl from Beijing, has become a social media influencer with over 2.5 million followers, catching fans with her special Chinese-style costume dances. Viewers are crazy about her beautiful costumes and the rich classical culture in her performances. They are also amazed by her excellent dance skills at such a young age. However, as online users jokingly say, Gu is already an “old artist”. She began learning dance at the age of 3 and has been practicing for nearly 10 years.
②Gu trained in ballet at first but began learning Chinese classical dance at the age of 6, attracted by its costumes, which she found‘even prettier’ than those of ballet. However, learning classical dance well needs a deep understanding of traditional Chinese culture.
③Gu's home is filled with books on Chinese wall paintings, which she studies the expressions and actions of the shown characters. When visiting different cities, she often visits museums, closely watching the main points in ancient sculptures.
④For Gu, paying attention to details is important in catching the key points of ancient Chinese style. For example, in the classic Dunhuang dance pose “Rebound Pipa” (反抱琵琶), the eyes must look downward before looking far away, creating a sense of paying no attention to the world. The “Floating Clouds” dance movement, which covers the use of long silk ribbons, requires unusual control to achieve the good effect.
⑤Another challenging character of Dunhuang dance is the changes of foot positions, including flexed(弯曲) feet, pointed feet, toes (脚趾) flexed on a pointed foot, and toes flexed on a flexed foot. ‘I don’ t feel much pain doing these movements because years of practice have made them natural,’ Gu said.
⑥However, a child's body is naturally more flexible, and movements that once came easily now require greater effort and practice. Since last year, Gu has spent more time mastering basic dance skills and so on.
42. What's Paragraph 1 mainly about
A. What dance skills Gu uses. B. How many followers Gu has had.
C. What makes Gu a social media influencer. D. How long Gu has practiced Chinese classical dance.
43. The writer mentions Gu's classic Dunhuang dance ________.
A. to describe the dance is very beautiful B. to explain Gu puts a lot of effort into it.
C. to prove this dance is very difficult. D. to show Gu pays attention to details.
44. What does the underlined word ‘them’ refer to in the second last paragraph
A. feet. B. toes. C. foot positions. D. feet and toes.
45. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage
A. ①/②③④/⑤⑥ B. ①/②③/④⑤/⑥ C. ①②/③④/⑤⑥ D. ①②/③④⑤/⑥
四、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分）

A designer is a person who has ideas. But that's not all. A designer plans how to make those ideas happen. A set of steps should be followed.
Step One is defining (界定)a problem or need. A theater puts on a show. Actors wearing costumes act on a lighted stage. Set designers design the stage sets. Lighting designers decide what lights to use. Costume designers choose clothes for the actors to wear. Together they form the design team. They share the same need, which is making the show happen.
Step Two is defining a successful result. The desired result is different for different kinds of designers. A fashion designer designs clothing styles. Because stores need people to keep buying, fashion designers need to design clothes that people will buy. The clothes should be different from older clothes.
Step Three is to describe the situation as it is now. A landscape designer plans outdoor areas. The designer looks carefully at the piece of land. Is it flat or hilly What kind of soil does it have What plants grow well in that soil How do people want to use this land The designer uses all this information in planning.
Step Four is to understand the user. The designer needs to know who will use the product. Software designers write computer programs. They think about the user sitting in front of the screen.
Step Five is to make a detailed plan. Architects design buildings. They plan the size and shape of each room, and decide what materials to use. All the details are on a drawing called a blueprint. The builders will follow this blueprint. The building will be exactly like the plan.
Last but not least, designers should work with other people to turn the design into the real thing. Fashion designers need people to sew the clothes. Landscape designers need workers to plant the plants.
Designers are artists, scientists, and inventors. They work in the present, but they are planners for the future.

Dear Simon,
I’m very glad to tell you that Chinese Spring Festival has been added to the UNESCO World Heritage. Since the main color of the festival—Chinese red attracts you very much, I’m writing to tell you something about it.
You can enjoy a lot of red things at the Spring Festival, such as red packets, red Chinese paper-cutting, red candles and so on. Many things are red because we Chinese think red can bring us good luck and happiness.
In our daily life, red is used a lot as well. If we require strength in either body or mind, we can wear red because it represents power. When we have difficulty making a decision, we can also use red because it represents strong feelings too and wearing red can make it easier to take action.
As for me, I like red a lot. On the one hand, it is the colour of heat and it can make me feel warm in winter. On the other hand, when I see the red national flag, I always feel very proud of my country and it always reminds me to work harder for my future.
I hope my letter will help you understand Chinese red well.
Yours,
Li Ping
