Each year, some words and phrases become popular, because they can make people laugh and excited. Looking back on 2016, what phrases made you and your friends laugh and excited? Here are some examples. Let’s take a look at them, and the stories and feelings behind them.

Slouch down like Ge You 葛优躺 ( ) 54. If you keep a diary, you will ________.

( ) 55. The following sentence ________ is TRUE? A. Collecting is easy and cheap. C. Building is the most difficult hobby.

In July, a photo of Chinese actor Ge You became popular. In the photo, he sat on a sofa, looking tired and lazy. It soon touched people who were under great study and work pressure. Putting their own “Ge You slouch” photo online, they were able to release some of that pressure by laughing about it.

Blue skinny mushroom 蓝瘦香菇

The phrase should go with a photo of a blue mushroom, but it has nothing to do with the plant. It was from a video made by a young man from Guangxi. He broke up with his girlfriend and cried out “nanshou, xianggku” in the video. His accent (口音) made it sound like “nanshou, xianggu”. People soon used this phrase as a funny way to express their sad feelings. Small target 小目标

This phrase came from Wang Jianlin, China’s richest businessman. In an interview, he was talking about young people dreaming to be rich. “At first you should make a small target. For example, start with earning only 100 million yuan,” Wang advised. But for most people, 100 million yuan isn’t a “small” target. So people began to joke with their own “small target”, which was in fact a difficult one.

Prehistoric power 洪荒之力

Chinese swimmer Fu Yuanhui used this phrase at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. “I used up my prehistoric power.” she told a CCTV reporter after her race. Fu used it to say she tried her best. The phrase soon became popular with her facial expressions. ( ) 56. These phrases became popular in 2016 because ________.

A. they made people laugh and excited C. they were about famous people A. the plant

B. happy feeling

B. they were educational

D. they helped people improve their life C. a small target

D. sad feelings

( ) 57. “Blue skinny mushroom” has something to do with ________. ( ) 58. The following sentence ________ is NOT TRUE.

A. “Ge You slouch” became popular in July, 2016.

B. “Blue skinny mushroom” has nothing to do with a blue mushroom. C. “Small target” came from Ma Yun, China’s richest businessman. D. Fu Yuanhui used “Prehistoric power” to say she tried her best in the race. ( ) 59. The underlined word “release” in this passage means ________. A. 获得

B.增加

C.释放 D

Beibei is a 6-year-old girl from Beijing. She is the only child in a rich family. During a family trip to Shanghai, she made her parents feel ashamed(感到羞耻的). When taking the crowded subway, Beibei said to her mother: “Ask someone to offer me a seat.” Her mother told her to sit on their bags, but Beibei was angry and didn’t talk anymore, the Beijing News reported.

Why did the girl do like this? According to Zhang Yiyun, a Chinese EQ (emotional quotient, 情商) education expert from Taiwan, many only children are self-centered (自我的), and they

D.表现

don’t have the skills to solve conflicts (矛盾). Self-centeredness is one of the problems caused by a low EQ. EQ is the ability to know our own feelings and those of others, and also can manage our feelings and our relationships.

Most people know that IQ (intelligence quotient, 智商) is important, but EQ is probably more important in daily life. When taking an exam, EQ helps us manage stress. When getting along with friends or parents, EQ helps us communicate well.

Part of EQ comes from genetics (遗传学). “You can see that some babies are quiet, while others are outgoing,” Zhang Yiyun told Xinhua News Agency. EQ is also something you can learn for yourself. “You can learn what different feelings might mean and how they relate to (涉及) yourself and others,” American John Mayer, who developed EQ with Peter Salovey in 1990, once told US Psychology Today magazine.

If we learn in the right way, our EQ can get better as we get older. Children with a high EQ usually have greater success with making friends. They are also better able to manage conflicts with their peers. A high EQ is a combination of a few different skills, so we’d better learn these skills.

( ) 60. Beibei get angry on the subway________. A. because the subway was too crowded B. because sitting on a bag made her feel ashamed C. because her mother didn’t get a seat for her D. because she didn’t like the family trip ( ) 61. People with a low EQ may ________. A. care more about himself or herself C. pay attention to others’ feelings ( ) 62. According to the article, ________.

A. people with a high EQ often get high marks on exams B. A person’s EQ all depends on genetics C. we can improve our EQ by learning

D. people with a high EQ never fight with others ( ) 63. The main idea of the article is ________. A. The problem of only children C. How to improve our EQ

VI. 任务型阅读。（每小题2分，共8分） 阅读下面短文并回答问题，含简要回答。

All good lessons and habits begin early. Saving is a skill that everyone needs. Learning to save money when you are young is an important lesson. I have been lucky to learn this lesson early. I had a grass-cutting business when I was a 10-year-old boy. I spent about 10% of the money that I made and saved the other 90%.

Saving money is a good way to build up wealth(财富). Then you can begin planning for your future. For example: At high school many parents pay for almost everything, so your cost can be small. If you have some pocket money, you should save a little. Young people should realize that their teenage years is a great time to begin saving. After high school, college is expensive and then “real” life begins. If you want to have a house and a family, you need money.

If you are in your thirties without any savings, you will have to work harder. The earlier you begin saving, the easier your life will be. As you get older, it can be harder to start saving because the cost of living is higher. You need more money to pay your bills. It is true that you need money to live a better life. In some people’s eyes, money even means everything. While other people

don’t agree. Whether money is everything or not, you should develop the good habit of saving money at an early age.

69. Has the writer learned to save money early?

70. Why is saving money harder as you get older?

71. What can you use money to do according to this passage? 72. Is money everything? Why or why not?

VIII．短文填空。(每空2分，共16分)

根据下列短文内容，在短文后的空格处填上一个恰当的词，使短文完整、通顺, 含缩略词。

One of the middle schools in Chongqing starts a mentor(导师) rule. That means some excellent parents and graduates(毕业生) can be mentors, in order to give students helpful advice on career(生涯的) planning, study problems and so on. The students in Verakin High School are having a hot discussion about the rule. Some say YES while others say NO. First, let’s see the ideas from those who say Yes.

Fan Xiaoyu, 13

As teenagers, we always have troubles in our lives. Our parents and teachers hope that we can solve them by 78 . But for many reasons, we can’t easily work them out. So it becomes quite necessary for us to have a mentor when we 79 help. By having conversations with mentors in person, we can find the key to solving problems.

Zhou Ziqian, 13

Because I once had a mentor, I agree with this rule. Mentors are not like 80 . They can bring students very personal advice and help. For example, my mentor always listens to me 81 and then gives me help. Also, since any excellent people, including parents and graduates, can be mentors, they will give helpful advice on career(生涯的) planning from their own experience. What’s more, students won’t feel stressed 82 they can talk with mentors freely, at no fixed(固定的) time or fixed place.

The students who say No have the following reasons.

Tan Yilan, 14

On the one hand, it’s embarrassing (尴尬的) for students to talk about their personal problems. In fact, not everyone is ready to be bothered (打扰) by others’ problems. On the other hand, there is a gap (代沟) 83 students and their mentors. Even if students share their problems, mentors may not understand them well and give helpful advice.

Jiang Yicheng, 14

It will bring much more work for teachers, parents and graduates. It will be difficult for mentors to 84 time talking with the students when they’ve already been busy and tired.

Ge Jiarui, 14

Maybe learners can get useful advice from experienced mentors. But in fact, the 85 experience you learn from others, the less creative(创造性) you will be. We should learn everything from our own experiences. I would like to have a life journey of my own with my own ideas better than having a mentor at school.

Hello, every one. I will talk about my hometown. In the past, it used to be a small town. It was very quiet and clean. People could hardly see any cars on the road. And it wasn’t crowed at all. The environment is very good. Three years ago, a factory moved here. It gave people better jobs so that lots of people came to work in it. And they needed places to live in, so the government built many houses. Slowly, it became bigger and bigger. Now it was a big city with a population of 430,000. The population also causes too much traffic and rubbish. It’s clear that the city needs money to solve its problems.
