22、For the first time, the Palace Museum opened its doors to the public at night for two days in February, 2019. It gives visitors the chance to see its palaces and temples in beautiful lights. The idea was a hit.

The webpage for people to sign for free tickets went wrong because of traffic. The museum gave away 500 tickets for people to, join 2,500 invited guests(特邀嘉宾) on Tuesday, and another 3,000 tickets for Wednesday night.

These lucky visitors enjoyed light shows and a Beijing opera show at the Belvedere of Pleasant Sounds, the Palace Museum's largest theatre. They could hear the music all over the museum, as there were fewer people at night than during the day.

The opening was part of an effort(努力)to change the image(形象)of the Palace Museum as it has always been conservative(保守的).

"The more the Palace Museum does, the more influential(有影响力的)it will be," said Shan Jixiang, the museum's director.

Yang Jie visited the museum with her husband on Tuesday night. She said the light show was wonderful.

"It makes it possible to see a different side of the Palace Museum," she said.

A．500

B．2,500

D．3,500

【2】What could the visitors do during the special opening hours?

A．To see its palaces and temples in beautiful lights.

B．To enjoy light shows.

C．To enjoy a Beijing opera show in the theatre.

D．All the above.

【3】People could hear the music all over the museum because ________.

A．there were speakers everywhere.

B．there were not many people visiting the museum at night.

C．the museum was too loud for everyone to hear.

D．the music was loud enough for everyone to hear.

23、Techeng Island(特呈岛)lies in the southeast of Zhanjiang. The villagers there used to make a living by fishing. But now, most of them make much money by doing business.

24、   One night, John came into the stable(马厩), calling, “Wake up, Beauty!”

He put my saddle and bridle on and rode up to the front door of the house. The Squire was there.

“John,” he said, “Mrs. Gordon is very ill. Ride to the doctor’s and give him this note.”

“Now, Beauty, do your best,” said John.

I went as fast as possible.

When we arrived at Dr. White’s house, John told him: “Mrs. Gordon is very ill. Squire Gordon thinks she is going to die. Please go to see her immediately.”

“Yes,” said the doctor, “but my son has my horse. Can I have yours?” he asked.

The doctor was heavier than John, and not such a good rider. But I did my very best and went as fast as possible. When we got to Birtwick Park, Squire Gordon was at the door. The doctor went into the house with him, and Joe led me to the stable. I was glad to be home. My legs were shaking, and I was very wet. Joe was young and he forgot to put a warm blanket on me. Then he gave me cold water to drink. Soon all my body began to shake, and I felt very cold. A long time later John came back. He covered me with two or three warm blankets, and ran to the house for some hot water. He gave me some warm food, and then I think I went to sleep.

Over and over again, John said to himself: “Stupid(愚蠢的) boy! Stupid boy!”

I was now very sick, and John was nursing me night and day. The Squire came to see me. “Poor Beauty,” he said one day. “You saved Mrs Gordon’s life.”

John said, “Black Beauty went so fast, he seemed to know what was wrong.”

25、六.综合填空，每空一词

It is common for most of you to experience this moment. You pick up a pen and start to write something down, but you can’t remember what the characters(字) looks 【1】.

In this 【2】[mʌnθ], CCTV 10 started a show called Chinese Character Dictation(听写) Competition. Many Chinese people were sure that we can write Chinese well, but only 3 out of 10 people 【3】(correct) wrote the word bingqiling(ice cream), while no one could write out kesou【4】

It 【5】(seem) that Chinese characters are in danger. As the digital age(数码时代) takes over people’s 【6】['deɪlɪ] life, the needs to use pens and paper is getting smaller. Most people forget the structure(结构）and meaning 【7】 they only type(打字) pinyin on keyboards(键盘).

In short, a window to Chinese culture and 【8】['histri] can be opened by studying Chinese characters. For example, the character nan (male 男) is made up of two parts, tian (farmland) and li(strength). We can know from it that Chinese men 【9】(play) an important part in farm work in the old days.

Now young people are not good at 【10】(write), so many people are calling for a effort to take back the wide use of handwriting.
