When he learned to paint as a teenager, Xiao, a farmer in Henan, could never have imagined it would help him make a lot of money.
In the past, villagers in Xiao’s village Wanggongzhuang drew and sold new year paintings, a kind of business that goes back to the early 20th century when a man brought the skill to the village.
In the 1980s, Xiao practiced in his free time after farm work and traveled to cities to sell his pieces. They sold so cheaply that he could hardly make any money.
Then in 1998, the Year of the Tiger, a client (客户) ordered a tiger painting. “I mainly painted flowers and birds, but not once had I painted a tiger,” Xiao said.
With no real tigers around, he borrowed a tiger painting from a neighbor to copy. His painting sold at a good price, and he realized he was onto something (掌握) that could benefit the whole village.
So he began to travel, not to sell paintings, but to zoos in northeastern China to watch tigers and paint them.
It was a great success. In 1999, he was the first in the village to buy a color TV, and a year later a computer.
Using the Internet, Xiao tried to sell his paintings abroad, first to Singapore, then to Japan, European countries and the United States.
Xiao’s success prompted (激励) more villagers. The tiger painting is now a trademark(商标) of Wanggongzhuang. The village sells thousands of tiger paintings every year, with 40 percent going overseas.

A．bought tiger paintings B．sold tiger paintings
C．learnt to paint tigers D．taught the villagers to draw new year paintings

Teenage life — better now, or in the past
Does this situation sound familiar (熟悉)
You are complaining (抱怨)to your parents about something. Maybe your computer isn’t powerful enough to play the latest games. 46 Then you hear...
When I was your age, there weren’t any computers or video games. And I didn’t get a bike until I was sixteen. And it was second-hand. 47
So, is it really true that life is better for teenagers now It is certainly true that many teenagers have got more things nowadays. 48 So parents have got more money to spend on each child. And many things are cheaper than they were when our parents were children.
49 Thirty years ago, no one could imagine a world with tiny computers and amazing smartphones. And now these things are necessary-we can’t imagine living without them!
However, technology often means we spend more time at home. And often it’s just us, with our computer or television. Teenagers don’t do enough exercise. 50 some people think teenagers today don’t have so many social activities as they did in the past.
What do you think How is teenage life better these days
A．And it was too big for me.
B．A typical family is smaller now.
C．Or your friends’ bikes are better than yours!
D．So they aren’t as healthy as they were in the past.
E．Technology is probably the greatest change in our life.
F．And young people still get on well with their friends.
第三节 阅读下面短文，根据其内容填空或回答问题。 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
For years, it has been said that newspapers are at death’s door. Every year sees more news of closing. But why is the situation so terrible for newspapers
Newspapers have a long history. The first newspaper was printed in the 1600s. Their most successful period is in the early 20th century.
With the appearance of radios and TVs, however, the circulation (发行量) of newspapers began to fall. 3By the mid-20th century, radios and TVs had become so popular that people no longer had to depend on newspapers for news. That was especially true for breaking news.
Afternoon newspapers were the first to suffer (受损害). After work, more and more people turned on TV instead of opening a newspaper. That was because TVs could provide news happening a short time ago. It’s true that newspapers couldn’t compete with TV on speed, but they could provide in-depth (深入详尽的) reports that TV news could not.
But newspapers suffered another heavier blow (打击) in the 1990s. With the appearance of the Internet, tons of information became free. Many newspaper readers realized that they could read news on the Internet. There seemed to be little reason to pay for a newspaper.
So what will happen in the future Will newspapers die Maybe not. Many newspapers are now making changes. Some are going digital (数字的). Some are going farther and taking the industry to places it has never been to. After all, people still want the news. And many agree that newspapers are still an important source (来源) of in-depth news, analysis (分析) and opinions. 4If newspapers disappear completely, there will be nothing to take their place.
A．根据短文内容简要回答问题。
51．What made the circulation of newspapers fall in the 20th century
52．Will newspapers disappear Why or why not (选择一种情况作答)

Great Changes Around Me
In the past few years, great changes have taken place around me. In my hometown, the roads used to be narrow and crowded. The houses were small and old. The air wasn’t fresh enough. Sometimes, there was terrible smell. The river was polluted badly.
Nowadays, the roads are wide and clean. It’s really convenient for people to go out. We can choose different kinds of transportation to go anywhere. Lots of tall buildings have been built. Most of us have moved to big and beautiful houses. The sky is very blue. My hometown looks like a big garden with green trees, grass and colorful flowers.
We are living a happy life. I’m sure as time goes by, our life will become better and better!
