One day, the king and his friend went hunting．The friend made a mistake while preparing the gun for the king．When the king shot at an animal, one of his fingers was blown off (炸掉)．However, the friend said, “This is good!” The king shouted in pain, “No, this is NOT GOOD!” He was so angry that he sent his friend to jail (监狱).

A year later, the king went hunting again．Cannibals (食人族) caught him and took him to their village．As they came close to setting fire to him, they noticed that the king had lost a finger．Cannibals never ate anyone that was less than whole, so they set the king free.

As an English saying goes “Where there’s tea, there’s hope.” A Chinese saying goes that “Firewood, rice, cooking oil, salt, sauce, vinegar (醋) and tea are the seven necessary things to begin a day.”

Tea is popular all over the world．It is said that nearly 5.8 million tons of tea was produced around the world in 2018．In Turkey (土耳其), tea has become the most popular hot drink．This is because that coffee costs have risen and tea has become a cheaper drink．People in Ireland drink cups of hot tea to get through the grey, foggy winters．Tea drinking in the UK began in the eighteenth century．Traders introduced the drink from China as something very expensive．But now tea is a common drink in the UK．

In order to celebrate the popular drink, the United Nations has designated (指定) May 21 as International Tea Day．This year, many countries celebrated the first International Tea Day, including China．

According to the UN, tea is more than a hot drink．It’s a big part of many cultures around the world．You probably know that people in China use top-grade tea to show respect when receiving important guests．The British tradition of afternoon tea is an important part of that country’s culture．

In some other countries, tea is also offered during gatherings and talks．

In addition to (除了) its cultural importance, tea is also a medicine．It has been used from old times to modern day．“Tea is cold and lowers the fire.” Chinese Ming Dynasty herbalist (草药师) Li Shizhen once said．It is also found today that tea can prevent heart disease and so on．

Hot or cold, bagged or loose-leaf, tea is not just a drink．It’s a social custom (习俗) and also a magic medicine, a link (联系) to the past and a way of life.

Jan follows Tom down the road and then she remembers something．

“The time capsule!”

Tom shows her the biscuit tin under his jacket．“I’ve got it.” And now maybe there’s the possibility she can return to the future．Soon they come to the river and then the old building．They run up the path through the trees and arrive at the piece of land with the apple tree．

“Now what do we do?” asks Jan．

“I put the time capsule back where I found it and…”

Tom uses his hands to dig a hole by the tree．He buries the time capsule and then stands up．

Jan suddenly thinks of something．

“Tom! I wanted to give you something from the time capsule.”

“No．I don’t want anything．It’s more important for you to go home.”

Jan feels sad that Tom doesn’t want something to remember her．But he’s right．The important thing is to get home．

“I’m never going to forget you, Tom．Thanks．You’re a real friend.”

“Bye, Jan．Look for me in the future．Promise (承诺)? ”

“I promise.”

Then he turns and runs back to the trees．Jan watches his shadow disappear into the trees．

For the first stage, he chose Tune: Butterflies in Love with Flower(《蝶恋花》) by Yan Shu, “Last night the western breeze blew withered leaves off trees．I mount the tower high and strain my longing eye.” This means people should stand on a high point so they can look farther ahead．Even in hard times, they can predict what might happen and see a clear path t______4______ their goal.

For the second phase,  Wang chose another ci with the  s____5____ title Tune: Butterflies in Love with Flowers by Liu Yong: “I find my gown too large, but I will not regret; It’s worth that I am growing tired and weak for her.” (衣带渐宽终不悔，为伊消得人憔悴) Wang used these lines to r____6____ people that success comes from tireless persistence(坚持).

Green Jade Cup（《(青玉案》), “But in the crowd once and again, I look for her in vain.

六、阅读填空(本大题共5小题.每小题1分，共5分)

先通读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在文章后表格的空格内填入一个最恰当的单词，每个空格只能填一个单词。

Do you get worried thinking about a coming math test? If yes, you are far from alone．Math anxiety (焦虑) has become a common psychological (心理的) condition among students around the world．According to a University of Cambridge study, many people experience discomfort when in face of a math problem, from mild tension (紧张) to strong fear.

Some people also experience physical (身体的) problems such as a racing heart．They may then try not to meet with every situation about numbers, meaning they will miss the jobs related to this subject, such as science, technology or engineering, according to The Guardian.

However, the fact shows that those with math anxiety aren’t sure to be bad at math．“They may have had a really bad experience with math and there are ways to improve,” Daniel Ansari, the writer of the study told The London Free Press, “Students with math anxiety are not cognitively (认知地) disadvantaged.”

Also, there are ways to deal with your stress related to math．If you’re feeling stressed before a math exam, it may help to spend a few minutes exploring those feelings before the exam begins．“Just because you have a fast heartbeat, that does not really mean you will fail.” Sian Beilock, a scientist in the US told the BBC.

A little math anxiety could be thought of as a positive (积极的) challenge to overcome．This nervous energy can motivate (激励) you, according to Ian Lyons, a psychologist at Georgetown University in the US.

阅读以上信息，用恰当的词完成下面的表格，每空一词。

参考答案

一、单项选择  在A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（本大题共14小题，每小题1分，共14分）

1．B

【解析】句意：——Jack，慈善拍卖怎么样？——我想说它很成功。

考查不定冠词。a一，用于辅音音素开头的单词前，不定冠词；an一，用于元音音素开头的单词前，不定冠词；the特指，定冠词；/零冠词。success“成功”是可数名词单数形式，因此其前应用不定冠词a/an表泛指，great为辅音音素开头的单词，因此不定冠词用a。故选B。

2．A

【解析】句意：我最好的老朋友贝克和她的父母去了国外。自那以后我们再也没有见过了。

考查现在完成时。根据“since then”可知，时态使用现在完成时，故排除C、D；又根据“My best old friend Beck went abroad with her parents”可知，朋友去了国外，应该是再也没有见面了。故选A。
