Anger is a kind of feeling．Many things can make you angry．When your teacher gives you too much homework, when your team loses an important game, when a friend borrows your favorite thing and then break it, you may get really angry.

Usually, your body will tell you when you are angry．For example, you breathe (呼吸) faster, your face turns red, and you may want to break something or hit someone, but sometimes, you hide your anger．For example, you may hide it in your heart．The problem is that if you do this, you may get a headache or your stomach may hurt.

In fact, it’s not good to hide your anger, and it’s normal for you to get angry sometimes．But anger must be let out in the right way, without hurting others or yourself.

When you get angry, you can talk about it with other people．It’s helpful to talk about your anger with an adult, such as parents, friends, teachers, etc．When you talk about anger, those bad feelings can start to go away．Here are some other things you can do when you start to feel angry: count from 1 to 100; give someone a hug; go for a bike ride; think about good things.

Remember that how you act when you are angry can make everything better or worse．Don’t let your anger control you.

“Colour, colour, colour!” are the words of the artist Eric Carle．Eric is like the king in the world of children’s books．He has written over 70 children’s books．His most famous book The Very Hungry Caterpillar, is common on children’s bookshelves all over the world．What most people don’t know is that Eric also makes art for adults, which is called “ArtArt”．People didn’t know about it, because he didn’t show it to the public until he was 84 years old!

Like Eric’s children’s books, his “ArtArt” is full of bright and clear colour．He says that he loves colour so much because he missed it during the war in Germany．Eric was born in New York in 1929, but moved to Germany with his family when he was 6．When he was 10, World War II began．He noticed that all the houses and buildings in his town were painted grey, brown or dark green．It was a sad time, and it seemed like there was no colour anywhere．

At the end of the war, “when colour came back,” Eric explains, “I just loved it so much．I keep saying that I wish our eyes could see more colour．Colour is a very important part of my work.”

That’s true．Eric paints bright colours on Paper, cuts out shapes, and then glues them onto another piece of paper．This method is called collage (拼贴画)．In fact, it is what led Eric to his “ArtArt”．

Eric’s “ArtArt” includes large collages as well as paintings, photographs and even costumes．

In all these works, he uses all kinds of colours—everything from purple to light green to orange．

Now that’s a lot of colour!

1．When did Eric show “ArtArt” to the public?

A．In 1929.                       B．In 1993.                       C．In 1997.                       D．In 2013.

D．Eric moved to Germany with his family when he was 10.

3．What’s the main idea of this passage?

A．Eric created collages for his books.

B．Eric is the king in the world of children’s books.

C．Eric’s love for colour led him to success.

D．Eric’s “ArtArt” is popular with people.

（—）阅读下面短文, 根据短文内容完成表格中所缺信息, 每空一词。（共 10 小题, 每小题1分, 计10分）

As millions of people have to stay at home because of flu, livestreaming（直播）has taken off．It has not only entertained（娱乐）the public, but also provided a new stage for traditional culture artists．

On video websites and apps such as Douyin and Bilibili, many traditional artists are making their first appearance（出现）．They sing Peking Opera, show their paper-cutting works, or perform（表演）Chinese kung fu as well as classical Chinese music．

Li Jun is a laosheng (old male role) performer of Shanghai Jingju Theater Company．During the outbreak, the 59-year-old man started livestreaming．He tried to think of new ways to attract people．Different from performing on a normal stage, Li gives his performance（表演）in everyday places, like his backyard and study room．Along with singing, Li also teaches viewers Peking Opera in a humorous way．

“Livestreaming has brought this classical art clown（小丑）to earth,” one viewer said．“It allows young people to know more and fall in love with Peking Opera.” Up to now, Li has got more than 6, 000 fans on Douyin, while one of his videos has received 42, 000 views on Bilibili．

Other kinds of artists also believe that livestreaming is a new chance．On March 26, the third China Huafu Day, Bilibili livestreamed a fashion show．Performers（表演者）showed beautiful clothes in traditional Chinese styles, including those from the Wei, Tang and Ming dynasties．During the show, viewers not only enjoyed seeing the beautiful clothes but also watched the way performers used ancient styles of make up（化妆）．For example, a performer taught people step by step how to draw the guiyemei, which was a typical make-up style during the Tang dynasty．

Guangming Daily noted, “By livestreaming, the traditional artists can give answers directly to the questions viewers ask, which brings a lot of convenience．At the same time, traditional culture is kept alive, because it has won more and more young people’s heart.”

According to some old Chinese stories, there once was an ancient emperor named Shennong．At that time, people could not tell the difference between medicinal and poisonous （有毒的）plants．When they got sick, there was no medicine to treat their illnesses．Many sick people could only wait for death．

To save his people, Shennong decided to find and test out different plants．He and his followers set out on a journey in search of medicinally effective plants．Once, they saw a large forest on a high cliff （悬崖）from a distance．There must be many different kinds of plants, but they couldn’t find a way to the cliff．Suddenly, they saw some monkeys climbing along the vines and trees hanging down from the cliff．Shennong was inspired by the scene．He asked his followers to cut down the tree trunks and vines．Together they built scaffold （脚手架）, with its help, they climbed to the cliff and collected many valuable plants．

Each time the team found a new type of plant, Shennong would taste it himself．Some plants made him sleepy．Some caused him to suffer pains in his stomach．Some made him tremble （颤抖） all over．After searching and testing over a long period of time, he and his followers discovered hundreds of medicinal plants．

As they continued their search, the team found a plant with small yellow flowers on a mountain．When a young man reached for it, the plant moved like a worm．Shennong picked off one piece from the plant in order to taste it．Other people tried to stop him, but Shennong said calmly, “It looks like a medicinal plant．I have to test it, or some people may misuse it.”

Suddenly, Shennong’s face turned pale and he fell on the ground．Blood flowed from his mouth and nose．Even after he was given the leaves from other medicinal plants, he was still not able to recover．The emperor soon took his last breath．People covered him with thousands of flowers．From then on, they called him the “Emperor of Medicine”．

Have you ever counted the number of digits (数字) in your mobile phone number? Your number has 11 digits．You may sometimes find it hard to r____1____ your number．That’s because China has the l____2____ mobile phone number in the world．Why is that?

The 11 digits can be divided into three parts．Each part has a different m____3____．The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service provider you are using．For example, 135 is for China Mobile Communications Corporation and 188 is for China Unicom．The f____4____ to the seventh digits tell you where the number is registered (注册)．And the last four digits are random (随机的).

The main r____5____ for using 11 digits is that we have the largest population in the world．We once had 10 numbers．But as our population g____6____, there were not enough numbers for us to use．So we began to use 11 digits starting from 1999．Eleven digits can be used to make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers．That’s enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China.

And mobile phone numbers can be r____7____．Usually, the service provider will reuse a canceled (注销的) number after three to six months．If you call a number that you haven’t contacted for a long time, you may find that its o____8____ has changed.

一、单项选择（共15 小题。每小题 1 分, 计 15分

1．A

【解析】句意：作为一名华裔美国滑雪运动员，谷爱凌已经成为北京冬奥会的新星。
考查冠词用法。此处是表示“作为一名滑雪运动员”，泛指，且Chinese是以辅音音素开头，应用a，故选A。

2．B

【解析】句意：你帮我在网上订票真是太好了。

考查介词辨析。with有；of属于……的；for为了；to到。根据“It’s very kind ..．you to help me book the ticket online.”可知，该句结构为It is+形容词+for/of sb.+to do sth.，形容词“kind”是形容人的品质，故介词应用of。故选B。
