Chinese grannies will remind children that they would not be able to see any magpies on that evening because all the magpies have left to form the bridge in the heavens with their wings.The legend has been handed down for more than 2 millennia. The story has been recorded as far back as the Jin Dynasty (256420 AD). Poets composed hundreds of poems on the love story and many types of Chinese opera tell the story.The Chinese people believe that the star Vega (织女星), east of the Milky Way, is Zhin and, at the constellation of Aquila, on the western side of the Milky Way, Niulang waits for his wife.Compared with love stories in Western legends, the story of Niulang and Zhin seems not as intense (激烈的) or passionate. Love doesnt kill or break up the barrier between them. They just wait patiently on the riverbank, believing that their love can withstand their time apart.It is faith and emotional connection instead of physical attraction and desire that are emphasized in the story as well as in many other Chinese folk tales about love.Unlike St. Valentines Day in Western countries, there is not so much emphasis on giving chocolates, flowers or kisses. Instead, the girls in China prepare fruits, melons and incense (香) as offerings to Zhin， hoping to get high skills in needlecraft, as well as hoping to find satisfactory husbands.In the evening, people sit outdoors to observe the stars. Chinese grannies would say that, if you stand under a grapevine, you can probably overhear what Zhin and Niulang are talking about.语篇解读：七夕坐看牵牛织女星是民间的习俗。相传，每年的这个夜晚是织女与牛郎在鹊桥相会的日子，所以七月初七也被称为中国的“情人节”。4Which of the following statements is NOT true?ANiulang and Zhin lived in the Jin Dynasty.BVega is on the east of the Milky Way.CThe constellation of Aquila is on the western side of the Milky Way.DAncient artists created many works to tell this love story of Niulang and Zhin.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知，关于牛郎和织女的故事记载最远可以追溯到晋代，但并非是牛郎和织女生活在晋代。5The sixth paragraph implies that _.AWestern people love more patiently than ChineseBNiulang and Zhin believed that their love could last foreverCNiulang and Zhin had a cool head for their loveDthere was no barrier between Niulang and Zhin解析：选C推理判断题。根据第六段内容可知，牛郎和织女在感情上并不狂热，他们在困难面前保持着冷静的头脑，在银河两岸耐心地等待着，相信他们的爱情能经得住分离，故选C项。6What does the underlined word in the sixth paragraph probably mean?AStick to.BGive up.COperate. DStand.解析：选D词义猜测题。根据第六段内容可知，画线词所在句指牛郎和织女相信他们的爱情能经受得住(withstand)他们之间的分别。stand“容忍，忍受”，与画线词意思相近。7The last but one paragraph mainly tells us that _.ASt. Valentines Day in Western countries is very romanticBtraditional celebration of the Chinese Valentines Day shows best wishes of Chinese girlsCWestern girls are more openmindedDChinese girls wish to find ideal husbands解析：选B段落大意题。从倒数第二段的叙述来看，该段描述的是中国的女孩们对美好生活和美好未来的向往。COur curious reader Andy recently asked “How do glasses help you see？” Actually, he asked this at a very good time because more and more people are needing to wear glasses, including young children, and we dont really know why.Our eyes let us see because light enters each eye, and the eye then creates a message that goes to the brain. The eyeball itself doesnt actually “see” the brain sees. The eyeballs just take pictures, like two little cameras. To see properly, each eyeball needs to send the light that enters it onto a very exact spot inside the eyeball, called the retina. If the light falls onto the incorrect place, everything goes wrong.Many people dont need glasses and can see just fine. This is because their eyeballs are focusing light properly onto the retina. However, some people have eyeballs that are too long. They are called “shortsighted”. For these people, things far away can look blurry (模糊的). Other people have eyeballs that are too short. They are called “farsighted” and things close to them can look blurry. Both shortsighted and farsighted people need glasses to help them see clearly. They work by helping the eyeball to focus light onto the correct place, the retina. Only then can we see clearly. Maybe you have a grandma or grandpa who wears glasses whenever they are reading books or using their mobile phone. When people get older, they usually become a little bit farsighted because a part of their eye called the lens becomes stiff and doesnt work properly.More and more young people in the world are needing to wear glasses. Were not sure why, but some scientists think that children who spend too much time inside are more likely to need glasses. Children who need glasses but dont wear them dont do as well in school. Once you need glasses, you usually need them forever your eyes wont go back to normal on their own.I hope that one day we can find out why peoples eyeballs become too long or too short and then we can stop people needing to wear glasses in the first place. Then people will never lose or forget their glasses ever again!语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。眼镜是如何帮助视力不佳的人们看清事物的呢？作者在文中进行了解答。8Why does the author write the text?ATo answer a readers question.BTo present a research finding.CTo tell an interesting story.DTo give expert advice.解析：选A写作目的题。根据第一段的内容可知，作者写本文的目的是为了回答读者的提问。9What do we know about shortsighted people?ATheir eyeballs are too long.BTheir eyeballs are too short.CThe lens of their eye works lazily.DThe light falls exactly onto their retina.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第三段中的“some people have eyeballs that are too long. They are called shortsighted”可知，A项正确。10Which of the following does the author know for certain?AWhat causes changes to peoples eyeballs.BWhat makes us lose our glasses quite often.CWhy more and more young people have bad eyesight.DWhy people with poor eyesight usually need glasses forever.解析：选D细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Once you need glasses, you usually need them forever your eyes wont go back to normal on their own”可知，作者认为，一旦人们需要使用眼镜来矫正视力，就得一直佩戴眼镜，因为我们的眼睛一般不会自然恢复正常视力。.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The Lost Rules of EtiquetteEtiquette, or good manners, used to be the glue that held society together. _11_ Sadly, these days it has mostly gone by the wayside.
