Falling leaves and cold winds show the arrival of another season. In China, November 7 is lidong. It is

弟5页/（共14页） a Chinese word for one of the 24 solar terms (节气). It means the beginning of winter.

To welcome lidong, people have many colorful customs that light up the cold days. One of the most popular customs is to have a big meal. Winter is believed to be a season for keeping food fresh. Eating well helps people save enough energy to beat the cold in winter, and prepare for the growth in the coming spring. In the north, people prefer eating dumplings. The Chinese word for dumpling, jiao (饺), has a similar pronunciation as the word “change”, jiao (交). Eating dumplings means celebrating the change of autumn to winter. While in the south, eating chicken, duck and fish is common.

From history, lidong was also a time for people to keep vegetables. There were not many fresh vegetables to eat during winter. So, around lidong, some people in the north began to keep vegetables like cabbages and green onions in a cellar underground. When it was time for cooking, fathers went down with a basket tied to one end of a rope (绳子). Children were happy to wait beside the cellar holding the other end of the rope. When fathers filled the basket with vegetables, children helped to pull it out.

However, nowadays some of the customs have disappeared. Most people buy fresh vegetables in the supermarket. Instead, new winter customs are born in certain places. In Harbin, experienced swimmers choose to swim in the winter waters during lidong. How cold it must be! 52. Lidong means the beginning of __________. A. spring

B. summer

C. autumn

D. winter

53. According to the passage, the meaning of eating dumplings is to __________. A. help people spend lots of energy B. keep vegetables and meat fresh C. celebrate the change of autumn to winter

D. remind people to beat the cold

54. The underlined word cellar means “__________” in Chinese. A. 地窖

B. 煤窑

C. 酒馆

D. 水井

55. The writer shows us one of the 24 solar terms “lidong” by __________. A. comparing different solar terms in China B. telling us different customs about lidong

Recently, a school magazine made a survey about how people see their roommates. Here are the letters from some of them.

弟6页/（共14页）

Grace, 13, from Zhejiang

I had a strange roommate. All of us were lying in bed ready to sleep, but she said she couldn’t fall asleep. She asked us to help her to sleep. So we started talking about something. But later we found that when we were talking she had fallen asleep before us. The next day, she complained that she didn’t sleep well the night before! What a strange roommate she was! Nick, 14, from Beijing

This term, I met a special roommate. He is tall and plays basketball every day. He washes his clothes every night when we get to the dormitory. When we are taking a shower, he is washing clothes. When we are having food, he is washing clothes. When we are going to sleep, he is hanging his clothes out. We just watch his strange acts every day and do not say anything. Anna, 15, from Guangdong

Once I took part in an English summer camp. One of my roommates made a lot of rules for us. The strangest one was that all the people shouldn’t wear their shoes before going into the room. She even made a line on the floor. “If someone goes through this line without wearing slippers (拖鞋), she has to clean the room,” she said. All of us hated that rule and broke it in the end. Sherry, 13, from Shanghai

During my trip to Xiamen, I shared a room with my cousin. Well, I have to say it was really a bad dream. My cousin likes to watch scary movies at night, and she never uses earphones. Every night, when I was reading daily news, I heard shouting and crying. I couldn’t read or listen to news any more. Seriously, I hope she can change her hobby someday, or at least use earphones.

If you are reading this article, you are probably trying to read it quickly. The teacher taught you to skim(略读) and scan(浏览), to look for key words in order to understand the main idea of the article and the important points in it.

Skimming and scanning is a good way when you don’t have enough time. For example, when you are taking an exam, many people skim and scan everything, but they have lost the ability to enjoy reading.

Luckily, “slow reading activity” has become popular. The idea is that people should shut down their computers and mobile phones for half an hour or forty-five minutes every day and enjoy reading a good book. Most importantly, you should read neither fast nor aloud.

Through “slow reading activity”, researchers have found that reading slowly helps people relax and think about what they are reading. It also helps people get to understand the characters’ feelings and to see the world through the characters’ eyes.

Reading, of course, isn’t easy. You have to sit still for one thing. And it can seem boring when it is compared to games or other activities. But, for me, reading has always been a pleasure in my life. From the age of ten, when I got my first library card, I began to experience wonderful things by reading all kinds of books.

Reading provides me with a feeling of joy and happiness, and helps me to understand the world around me. In your classroom, you have learned to read “fast”. However, outside of the classroom, you should try to learn to read “slow”. You may be surprised at how much you enjoy it. 60. To skim and scan can help __________.

A. look for key words to understand every point of the article B. get the main idea and the important points in the article C. understand the article better than reading slowly D. get a better understand of the key words of the article

61. For the “slow reading activity”, people should read a book _________.

A. slowly and quietly with the computers on B. slowly and quietly with mobile phones off C. for less than one hour in a loud voice D. fast and aloud for at most half an hour a day

62. This passage mainly tells us that __________.

A. skimming and scanning is the best way to read

弟8页/（共14页）

B. the slow reading activity is really meaningful C. we can get a feeling of joy and happiness by reading

D. we should try to read slowly when we have time

63. If you put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best?

(①=Para. (自然段)1 ②=Para. 2 ③=Para.3 ④=Para.4 ⑤=Para.5 ⑥=Para.6) A. ①②; ③④⑤;⑥ B. ①②; ③④; ⑤⑥ C. ①; ②③④; ⑤⑥

D. ①; ②③④⑤; ⑥

V. 口语应用。（每小题1分，共5分） A: Hi, Mary

B: Hi, Steve. 64 A: Everything’s fine. And I have a big meeting in China next week. B: Sounds great! 65

A: Well, I will stay in Beijing for a week and in Chongqing for five days. B: Wow! It must be very exciting. I love traveling. A: 66 [来源:学科网ZXXK] B: Why? There is no need to feel nervous.

A: I’m kind of worried about speaking to people. 67 B: Don’t worry. Chinese people are friendly. They often use “Ni Hao.” when starting a conversation. A: That’s nice. What else?

B: 68 . It will show that you are polite. A: Thank you very much for your advice. B: Not a problem.[来源:Zxxk.Com] A. And I am excited about the whole trip.

Dangal(《摔跤吧，爸爸！》) is an Indian film which was put on in China on May 5th, 2017. The world- known Indian actor, Aamir Khan, plays the hero—the father in the film.

The father is a wrestler(摔跤选手) who has to give up wrestling to find a normal job to feed his family. He is unable to win a gold medal(金牌) for India and vows(发誓) that his son will. However, after his wife gives birth to four daughters, he gives up his dream. But when his elder daughters, Geeta and Babita, come home after beating up two boys, he suddenly realizes his daughters have the talent to become wrestlers. The father begins teaching Geeta and Babita wrestling. They have to get up at 5:00 a.m. to train: running, swimming, wrestling with each other, even with their cousin... Chicken is the only meat allowed to eat. No spicy or sweet food. They can’t wear dresses. The father even gets their beautiful and long hair cut. Geeta and Babita think they have the worst father in the world and plan to resist(反抗). However, one day after taking part in their friend’s wedding party, the 14-year-old bride(新娘) tells them that they are lucky to have such a good father. To save money, her father marries her to a man who she has never seen before. She has to be a housewife, doing hard chores every day, although she is not ready at all.

Geeta wins the Junior Nationals(全国少年组冠军) and the gold medal at the Commonwealth Games(英联邦运动会) in 2014 and finally gets a chance to go for the Olympics.
