A
Little stream(小溪) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing
the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly vanishing(消失)into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,” she said sadly to herself.
At this time, a deep voice said, “If wind can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “That’s because the wind can fly, but I can not.”
“That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate(蒸发)into the wind and it can take you across me,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The wind can carry the vapor(蒸汽)across the desert and let
it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” After hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the wind. It carried her to the next stage of her life.
The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are.
( )51. The little stream planned to reach the desert.
( )52. The little stream was confident about herself before she crossed the desert.
( )53. At first, the little stream didn’t accept the desert’s advice because she wasn’t able to change her nature. ( )54. The little stream finally crossed the desert by evaporating into the breeze. ( )55. The story mainly tells us if we want to succeed, we should follow others’ advice.

Want to be a hero? Better take a trip to the Great Wall. As the saying goes: you are not a hero until you have climbed the Great Wall.
And recent research shows the Great Wall is even greatest than people thought. It is known for its size and length, traditionally described as “ a long wall of 10,000 li(5,000 km)”. But China’s State Administration of cultural heritage made a report saying the wall actually is 21,196.18km long.
Although you’re not a “hero” yet, you’ll have seen the Great Wall on postcards and TV documentaries. The National Geographic said that this great work “is one of the world’s great feats(壮举) of engineering and an enduring monument(不朽的丰碑) to the strength of an ancient civilization”.
Building the Great Wall in ancient times required years of hard work. Legend has it that a woman named Meng Jiangnu of the workers called up to build the wall. She finally found him dead because of hard work. She started to cry, and suddenly a section of the Great Wall fell down.
And there’s another popular legend about the Great Wall - it is said to be the “only” man-made structure that can be seen from space. But, the truth is that while astronauts can spot the Great Wall, they can also see other things like the Giza pyramids in Egypt and even airport runways.
( )56. The research shows the Great Wall is greater than people thought because ________. A. it is a long wall of 10,000li B. it is well-known for its long history C. it is much longer than people knew
D. it is much older than people first thought
( )57. What does the writer want to explain by telling the legend of Meng Jiangnu? A. Why a section of the Great Wall fell down.
B. The Great Wall was built thanks to many people’s hard work. C. Meng Jiangnu was a great woman in Chinese history. D. The Great Wall was built in the Qin Dynasty.
( )58. What does the underlined word “civilization” mean in Chinese?
A. 启发
B. 城市 C. 市民 D. 文明
（）59. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. There are legends about the Great Wall.
B. It’s said that the Great Wall can be seen from space. C. The Great Wall is the only man-made structure in the world. D. The Great Wall is great because astronaut can see it from space.
( )60. What’s the best title for the passage? A. History of the Great Wall B. The Great Wall’s role in China C. The Great Wall is growing greater D. Legends of the Great Wall are not all true. C
When it comes to shopping for clothes,my mother and I have always disagreed on what fits me well. To me, if it zips, it fits. My mom, however, usually tells me I need a bigger size.
When I was a teenager, I wanted to dress like my friends,but my body size made it impossible. When mom told me something didn’t suit me,or I needed a bigger size,all I heard was that my body was wrong.
To avoid arguments,we stopped going shopping together. This continued until I got engaged(订婚) last year and needed to buy some clothes. When I tried on a blouse,my mother looked at me, and I knew what was coming. “You need a bigger size,” she said.
There was no bigger size.I tried to hold back my tears(眼泪). Maybe I could buy it alone, of course,but my mom is my favorite person to hang out with. The idea of looking for a wedding dress without her seemed just as scary as taking her with me. And so the day came. As I tried on a simple white dress,I saw tears in my mom’s eyes. “You look beautiful!” she told me. Nothing could have shocked me more.
This one didn’t zip up at the back and I did actually need a bigger size,but my mother didn’t say that. She just told me how beautiful I looked. In that moment, allthe arguments in the past ended. We didn’t buy a dress that day. We decided to see more.
A few weeks later,we found the perfect dress. We both loved it as soon as I put it on.
And during those few weeks, mom and I also found the perfect fit for our shopping relationship. ( )51. What does the writer want to show in the first two paragraphs? A. She likes the clothes with zippers while her mother doesn’t agree with her. B.In mom’s opinion, her body is wrong and she is too fat to wear what she likes. C. She really wants to dress like her friends,but her mom doesn’t allow her to do so.
