More than 100 primary school teachers came to a training court to pass on the art to school children. After learning Chinese opera-themed(戏剧题材的) cartoons, they are now confident that they can spark(激发) childrens interest.These school teachers were quick learners in Chinese opera. They are practising a classic piece of Yueju Opera, a major branch of the Chinese opera family.Fang Tingting, the performer of Shanghai Yueju Opera Troupe, said, “I was actually nervous about teaching them, because I thought they may not be interested. But their passion(热情) swept away my worries. I think they will do well in helping Chinese opera.”Cartoons naturally attract the attention of children. Introducing Chinese opera to them in this way is proved to be great.Liu Hui, a school teacher, said, “The children are really interested in the cartoons. As teachers, we give them some directions and they start to copy the movies in the opera.”The teachers also believed this digital method really builds a bridge between the children and this traditional art form. And it really helps them learn the rich culture of China. They are glad to be trained here to take on this task.15.

CA warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good nights sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod offif it is milked from a cow at night. Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food. Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night. Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists(营养学家) remending skimmed milk(脱脂奶) as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.19.According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_.A.started sleep more easily B.were more anxiousC.were less active D.woke up later20.Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?A.Its been tested on mice for ten times.B.It can make people more energetic.C.It exists in milk in great amount.D.Its used in sleeping drugs.21.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Night Milk and Sleep. B.Fat, Sugar and Health.C.An Experiment on Mice. D.Milk Drinking and Health.22.How does the author support the theme of the text?A.By giving examples. B.By stating arguments.C.By explaining statistical data D.By providing research results DJason, our son, was born with cerebral palsy (脑瘫). We often forted him as he faced many challenges in his early years. It was heartbreaking to see him regularly chosen last for baseball, but he was a happy child and well liked by his peers throughout elementary school. His most difficult time came when he began high school.One afternoon, Jason returned home in tears. He threw his bag on the floor and shouted: “Im never going to school again!” He was covered with food that other kids had thrown at him on the school bus on the way home. Jason told us what had happened.Jason had signed up for the school running team. That day, a few older students made fun of hisperformance on the track and made him the target of their food fight. I called the principal about Jasons experience. Jason stayed on the team, even though the harassment(骚扰) continued.One day we had snow and freezing rain. As the other kids exercised in the gym, they noticed one lone runner,Jason, jogging around the snow-covered track.A few weeks later, Jason said, “Mom, Dad, sit down.” I was ready for the worst. He said that each month, students chose an “athlete of the month”. The coach would list the top athletes, and students voted for the winner. Jasons name had never been listed. But that day, one of the students said: “I would like to nominate Jason for athlete of the month. He works harder than any of us.” Tears formed in Jasons eyes as he told us what happened next. “Mom . Dad . everyone in the class put their hand up.” In tears, we looked on as he proudly displayed his certificate.Whenever I despair, I think of this story. I remind myself that challenges are not overe by force, but by patience, determination, and faith.23.

Some Chinese tourists find it inconvenient when they have to use cash in Singapore. 28 According to Xinhua News Agency, many countries now accept mobile payment services for Chinese tourists, with We Chat Pay covered in 13 overseas countries and regions and Alipay over 200. Its now mon to see the familiar green or blue logos in tourist destinations around the world, from a tiny shop in the Scottish Highlands to a huge department store in New York.Mobile payments are now a normal part of life in China, and the trend is sweeping other nations.According to Forrester Research, in America, mobile payments rose by 39 percent in xx. 29_ This may be partly because western mobile payment services require businesses to install(安装) expensive equipment before customers can use them.30 第三部分：英语知识运用（共四节，满分 50 分）第一节完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1分，满分 20 分） A long time ago there was a boy.
