Lu Xun is one of the greatest Chinese writers of the 20th century. Besides his famous stories, he also wrote many influential articles about the living conditions of Chinese people.
Born in 1881 to a wealthy family, Lu Xun had a happy childhood. In 1893, however, his grandfather, a senior government official, was put into prison for taking money. At the same time, his father became seriously ill. From that time on, his family were no longer accepted by their relatives and friends. These early experiences greatly influenced his writing.
By the time Lu Xun arrived in Nanjing to study at university in 1899, he already believed that Chinese society had to change and become modern. In 1902 he went to study in Japan. There, he began writing articles for several Chinese student magazines. He showed a gift(天赋) for writing and translating and he even wrote several books, although none was popular. He returned to China in 1909 because he was in need of money.
After working for several years as a teacher in Beijing, Lu Xun returned to writing again. In 1918, he wrote his famous short story Diary of a Madman. It was the first Chinese novel published using the everyday language that people spoke, which helped make it a great success. This together with his novel The True Story of Ah Q (1921), made Lu Xun a leading Chinese writer.
Although successful, Lu Xun still worried greatly about China’s future. In 1926, he moved to Shanghai and gave up writing stories in order to devote himself to what he called “pen warfare”. He now only wrote articles which called on the people to fight against the government. For this, the government stopped him from publishing any more books. He was forced to write his articles using false names.
Since his death in 1936, Lu Xun’s importance and influence have grown. Today, many of his writings are included in school textbooks and his works are read by millions around the world.
61. Which of the following greatly influenced Lu Xun’s writing according to the passage?
A. The people he met in Japan. B. The experiences in his early life.
C. Working as a teacher in Beijing. D. His father’s being put into prison.
62. According to the passage, why was Lu Xun’s story Diary of a Madman so popular?
A. It was based on Lu Xun’s diary.
B. It was the first novel to use everyday language.
C. Its story took place in modern times.
D. It was written using a western style.
63. The underlined word “This” (Paragraph 4) refers to .
A. the success of Diary of a Madman B. the use of everyday language
C. the first Chinese novel D. The True Story of Ah Q
64. After moving to Shanghai, Lu Xun mainly wrote .
A. funny stories B. articles about himself
C. articles against the government D. stories about government officials
65. In what order did these events take place in Lu Xun’s life?
a. The government stopped him from publishing books.

Where can you learn about the cultural relics(文物) of our country? You may visit museums or read books, but now a CCTV show may give you a more fun way to learn about them. The show is called National Treasure. Now, the National Treasure2 is hitting the TV screen in both Channel one and three of CCTV.
In National Treasure1, it has 10 episodes (集). It shows 27 treasures from 9 museums across China. In order to make ancient culture relics come alive, the show uses different ways to explain the story history and culture behind them.
Although it’s a show about old relics, it looks modern and technical. An IMAX-sized LED screen on the stage shows the treasures in detail. The treasures are presented by National treasure keepers, both famous people and common people. Instead of just telling the stories and history behind the treasures, the show invites famous actors to be national treasures keepers, and they act out the stories on the stage. The actors even use the funny words to make their performances interesting and alive. For example, on the show, actor Wang Kai played Emperor Qianlong. TV viewers loved his performances.
While telling the stories behind the treasures, National treasure keepers also tell their own stories. For example, an old man named Qiu Qingnian who is good at making natural paints for repairing ancient paintings. For many years, he has been looking for mines deep inside mountains. What he said and what he did both show his memes(文化基因). On the TV program, he shows TV viewers how to make natural paints.
The show has become widely popular with its interesting plots, good performances and funny words. It has promoted (推广) ancient cultural relics and has encouraged more people to visit museums.
66. What column(栏目) in a magazine might the passage come from?
A. Health. B. History and culture. C. Sports. D. Science and technology.
67. The show National Treasure1 was produced to___________.
A. look for national treasure keepers B. make ancient cultural relics come alive

六、阅读表达 阅读短文,回答问题,每题限5个单词。(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
We need to be responsible for our environment. Being a frugal consumer(节俭的消费者) is one way to help. But, what exactly does that mean?
Use It Up. You can use things up instead of wasting them. Squeeze(挤) that last bit of toothpaste out of the tube. Use the last little piece of soap. Don’t throw away any bits of the biscuit at the bottom of the box.
Wear It Out. You do not always need to have new things. Suppose your trainers are broken, but they still fit you. Repair them and wear them longer. You don’t have the latest iPhone until the old one doesn’t work any more. Then you can get a new one. Think twice before replacing something that still works.
Make It Do. When something you want is not on hand, look for something else that you already have to take its place. Suppose you are packing your lunch for tomorrow and want a butter sandwich. You are out of butter. Have a cheese sandwich instead so that you can use all of the cheese. Learn to fix broken toys instead of just throwing them away. With a little thought, you can make something do, instead of buying something new.
Do Without Hesitation (犹豫). Think about all those things that you would like to have. Do you really need them? How long will you really play with that new toy you saw on TV? Making the things that we want uses up your world’s resources. And, getting rid of the things we don’t want any more takes up even more resources and space.
86. How do we deal with the last little piece of soap?
87. How many suggestions does the writer offer?

I am not a child any more
I am a Grade 9 student. I am not tall but a little fat.
In the past, I not only played computer games but also stayed up to read detective story books. I often felt sleepy in class because of lack of sleep. I had too much homework, but I had no choice but to do it. So I always felt stressed.
My teachers helped me solve many problems, and kept encouraging to cheer me up.
Now, I plan my day carefully and try my best to achieve a balance between my schoolwork and my hobbies. I have devoted most of time to study and have made great progress. In my free time, I talk with my parents and teachers, also take an active part in activities to lose weight.
I hope to become a psychologist to help more students solve all kinds of teenage problems when I grow up.

One day, a little boy came into a fruit shop. He had five dollars and wanted to buy some apples. He said to the shop assistant, “Give me apples for five dollars, please.”
When the shop assistant gave him the apples, the boy counted them and felt very surprised. Then he said, “Last Friday, my mother bought apples here for five dollars too. Why did you give me fewer apples?”
“Don’t ask questions, boy. I have no time for questions.”
“Excuse me, sir,” said the little boy, “but...”
“It is all right, my boy,” said the shop assistant, “Don’t you know? The fewer apples you get, the less fruit you will have to carry.”
“All right,” said the boy and he gave four dollars to the shop assistant. He was just going to leave the shop when he heard the words, “Come back! You must pay me five dollars.”
“That’s OK!” said the boy. “Don’t you know? The fewer dollars you get, the less money you will have to count.”
