第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项
A
During ancient times, children didn’t have smartphones, iPad or computers to entertain themselves. Instead, they came up with interesting games to play.
★Stone balls
During the Qing Dynasty, kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China, and it was often played in the winter to protect kids from the cold. Stones were carved into small balls and kicked along with feet. In 1999, the sport was included in the 6th National Ethnic Group Traditional Sports Meeting held in Beijing.
★Flying kites
Kites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood, instead of paper. Nowadays, the four most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite , Weifang kite and Nantong kite, of which each has distinctive features. The kite which resembles a swallow is a well-known Beijing style.
★Hide-and-seek
Hide-and-seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. There are two ways to play: covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to tease(戏弄) him or, more commonly, participants hide and one child must try to find them.
★Playing diabolos
A diabolo is always made of wood or bamboo and has empty space in the center. By juggling(边抛边接) the diabolo on the rope, the high-speed spinning diabolos will make a sound like a whistle. Playing diabolos is an interesting folk game, especially popular in North China. Playing diabolos was also included in the first group of national intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产).
1.Why did ancient children often play stone balls in the winter?
A.To practice their feet.
B.To warm themselves.
C.To train their skills.
D.To relax themselves.
2.Which kites are swallow-shaped?
A.Weifang kites.
B.Tianjin kites.
C.Beijing kites.
D.Nantong kites.
3.Why does playing diabolos make a sound?
A.Because the diabolo’s center is empty.
B.Because the high-speed spinning diabolo is light.
C.Because the diabolo is equipped with a whistle.
D.Because ropes’ surface moves against the diabolo’s.

Imagine the feeling of swinging at a baseball going 100 miles per hour—without leaving your living room, or being in race car as it roars down the track, while you are sitting on the couch.
These are just some of the ways that sports business leaders say virtual reality (VR) will revolutionize how people train for and experience sports. Virtual and augmented（增强的）realities are together known as mixed reality (MR). “American footballers are already using VR to better train their minds andread the field,” Ludden said. “This can allow players to perfect their skills without risking injury.”
Canadian company D-BOX Technologies designs and produces moving seats found in cinema and theme parks. It is now moving into sports, and shows its Formula One (F1) racing simulator（模拟器）. The seats stimulate the force of gravity, speed and every shaking as Fl champion Lewis Hamilton zips around city streets.
A simulation seat uses pre-programed data now. Someday, though, it could use real-time information sent by the car. “They couldbroadcast live content through a network in pop-up theaters around the world,” Ludden said. Say you want to experience the true stress of a batter being up against major-league baseball pitcher. “You can have a heartbeat added to the sensation on the seat and then you can feel it, boom, boom,” Maheu explained. “When he swings and hits the ball, you can have an impact.”
One day, fans around the world could physically experience every game from their favorite player in real time. Ludden said that current and near-future technology could create “augmented stadiums” for live audiences. Panasonic launched its “Smart Venue” plans which included the overlaying of graphics, advertisements, player statistics and replays on the field of play at a pro football game. “If you are seated in the cheap seats, you can see this really useful.” “Fans may someday join in stadium wide games, using the field as a virtual gaming platform,” Ludden added.
4. What does the underlined phrase “read the field” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Get off the playing field.
B. Build up a football court.
C. Judge the situation on the field.
D. Ask players to play on the spot.
5. What does Maheu think audiences can do in the future baseball game?
A. Enjoy live content in any theater.
B. Program the simulation seats in advance.
C. Control the force and speed of the baseball.
D. Experience the real time game with the player.
6. What does Ludden mainly describe in the last paragraph?
A. The origin of VR.
B. A future stadium.
C. An advertisement platform.
D. The expectations of audiences.
7. What is the main idea of the text?
A. VR can improve players' skills for sports.
B. VR increases fans' joy in the baseball game.
C. VR can improve sports experience for players and fans.
D. VR promises a new future for football players and games.
C
If our kids don’t fall, they don’t learn to get up. I still remember the day in high school that my mom forgot to pick me up from school. I’m the oldest of four children, and no doubt she’d had a long day with the other kids and it’d slipped her mind. After waiting at school for an hour, I walked the three miles home, and when I got to my house, I shut our front door with anger, stormed into the kitchen and screamed in my mom’s face that she’d forgotten me.
Later that night, my dad told me I no longer had a ride to school the next day. I figured my mom would still take me, but when the morning came, she refused. It was midterm, and as a straight-A student ready to start college applications, being late wasn’t an option (选择). In my mind, missing these tests would have been the end of my academic career. I begged my mom. I told her she was ruining my future and everything I’d worked for. But sheheld her ground, and that day, I walked to school. And I missed my tests.
My mom didn’t rescue me from failure. She let me suffer from it. She let me figure it out. She let me learn. Now, as a mom myself, I’ve realized that I want my kids to experience failure because failure is how we grow, learn and think outside of ourselves. It’s how we self-educate to learn what’s right and respectable, and what’s not. It’s how we become responsible and enthusiastic. Falling down makes us better because we learn how to get up.
8. What is one of the reasons that the author got angry that day?
A. She was tired.
B. She failed in a test.
C. She was late for school.
D. She had to walk home by herself.
9. How does the author feel about her childhood experience?
A. Terrible.
B. Meaningful.
C. Embarrassing.
D. Colorful.
10. The underlined phrase “held her ground” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.
A. gave in to me
B. said yes to me
C. stayed in the place
D. kept to her idea
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. My Way of Growing
B. The Value of Failure
C. My Love for Mother
D. Failure in My Life
D
There are 195 countries in the world today but almost none of them have purple on their national flag. So what’s wrong with purple? It’s such a popular color1 today. Why would no country use it in their flag? The answer is really quite simple. Purple was just for too expensive.
The color1 purple has been associated with royalty power and wealth for centuries. Queen Elizabeth I forbade anyone except close members of the royal family to wear it. Purple’s high status comes from the rarity and cost of the dye (染料)originally used to produce it. Fabric traders got the dye from a small sea snail (海螺)that was only found in the Tyre region of the Mediterranean. More than 10,000 snails were needed to create just one gram of purple; not to mention a lot of work went into producing the dye, which made purple dye so expensive.
Since only wealthy rulers could afford to buy and wear the color1 , it became associated with the royal family. Sometimes, however, the dye was too expensive even for royalty. Third century Roman Emperor Aurelio famously wouldn’t allow his wife to buy a scarf made from purple silk because it cost three times its weight in gold. A single pound of dye cost three pounds of gold, which equals 56,000 dollars today. Therefore, even the richest countries couldn’t spend that much having purple on their flags.
The dye became more accessible to lower-class about a century and a half ago. In 1856, 18-year-old English chemist William Henry Perkin accidentally created a man-made purple compound (化合物)while attemptingto produce an anti-malaria drug. He noticed that the compound could be used to dye fabrics, so he patented the dye, manufactured it and got rich. Purple dye was then mass-produced so everybody could afford it.
Till now, a handful of new national flags have been designed and a few of them have chosen to use purple in their flag. So don’t be making any bets just yet.
12. Why was color1 purple expensive in the past?
A. Because only royal families were allowed to wear purple.
B. Because it took a long time to get purple dye from gold.
C. Because purple was worth as much as its weight in gold.
D. Because purple dye used to be rare and hard to produce.
13. Why did Roman Emperor Aurelio forbid his wife to buy a purple scarf?
A. Because of poor quality.
B. Because of long tradition.
C. Because of bad taste.
D. Because of high price.
14. What is purple's situation now?
A. Purple has been widely used on national flags.
B. Purple dye is now affordable to ordinary people.
C. Royal family stop using purple because it’s toocommon.
D. Fewer snails are used to produce purple dye than before.
15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. No Purple Flags?
B. Purple vs Gold
C. How to Produce Purple Dye?
D. The Birth of Purple Color
