Green is an important color in the nature．It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees．It is also the color of most growing plants．
Sometimes the word green means young fresh and growing．Sometimes it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished．For example a green hand is someone who has no experience who is new to a situation．
Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb（拇指）．It comes from early nineteen hundreds．A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well．You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died．
The Green Revolution（革命）is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains．The new plants produced much larger crops．The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs．Green is also the color used to describe such a cling-jealousy（嫉妒）．The green-eyed monster（怪物）does not come from outer space．It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants．Your friend may suffer from the green-eyed monster if you get a pay rise and he does not.

We are often told to pay attention to what our mothers tell us．Most of us enjoy listening to our mothers speak．Scientists have found that compared to other people’s voices, our brains greatly prefer the voices of our own mothers．
Scientists from Stanford University, US, scanned children’s brains while they were listening to different sounds, including their mothers’ voices．They found that 97 percent of the time, children could recognize (认出) their mothers’ voices at once．
Hearing their mothers’ voices makes children’s brains more active．We usually just use one part of our brain to deal with sounds when we hear something．But when we hear our mothers’ voices, many parts of the brain, including those that are responsible for reward (奖赏) and emotion, start to work as well．
Why do we react so strongly to our mothers’ voices? It starts even before we’re born．When children are still in the womb (子宫) or have just been born, they hear their mothers talking．This makes babies feel comfortable and teaches them language and social skills, even though they are still very young．The babies learn to recognize their mothers’ voices as a rewarding sound．Later, when this sound is heard again, more attention is paid to it．
Some sounds are necessary for our life or please us．These sounds are recognized by our brains as rewarding sounds．Most human voices are not recognized in this way, since we hear them so often．But mothers’ voices are different．They bring us a lot of comfort.
42．What is the story mainly about?
A．Why we should listen carefully to our mothers.
B．Why we prefer to hear our mothers’ voices.
C．How we recognize our mothers’ voices.
D．How we react to different kinds of sounds.
43．What will happen when children hear their mothers’ voices?
A．Many parts of their brains become active.
B．They will need time to recognize the voices.
C．They will start talking with their mothers.
D．They will remember some bedtime stories.
44．According to Paragraph 4, why do children pay more attention to their mothers’ voices?
A．Because they can recognize their voices quickly.
B．Because they can get a reward for doing so.
C．Because they can get love from their mothers.
D．Because their voices make them more comfortable.
45．“Rewarding sounds” refer to sounds that ________.
A．we hardly recognize B．we often hear
C．we hear as babies D．make us comfortable

Confucius (孔子) is a master of thinking．He came up with many great ideas．But what’s the most well-known and influential (有影响力的) one? That may be the idea of the golden mean (中庸)．Have you heard of it? Do you know its real meaning?
Zhongyong, the golden mean or the doctrine of the mean, is an interesting topic．In Confucianism (儒家思想), it is seen as a primary virtue (最重要的品德)．Confucius speaks highly of it．However, it is easily misunderstood．People often think it means not working hard or pursuing perfection (追求完美)．
But the key point of the golden mean is to stay moderate (适中的), neither too little nor too much．The character “zhong” means to be moderate in one’s words and behaviors．“Yong” has two meanings—being common and unchanging．
This way of thinking is useful in our daily life．When we write a story, we shouldn’t use too many fancy (华丽的) words．But it doesn’t mean we can’t use any beautiful language in the story．While exercising, we can’t do too much every time or we might get hurt．But it doesn’t mean we should never exercise．The key is to walk a fine line．
The golden mean is always being embraced (推崇) by our nation．President Xi Jinping said we should respect cultural diversity (多样性)．We should be confident but not too arrogant (自负的) in cultural exchanges.
66．Which school of thought (思想流派) does the golden mean belong to?
67．The key point of the golden mean is __________________________.
68．What example does the writer give to explain the golden mean in daily life? (1 example is OK.)

69．Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese．

70．How can we follow the golden mean in cultural exchanges?
_________________________________________________________________

1．D
【解析】
【详解】句意：让我们的国家变得更好、更强是我们的责任。
考查代词用法。One一个；This这个；That那个；It它。It is+形容词/名词+to do sth.“做某事是……”，duty“责任”，名词，“to make our country better and stronger”为真正主语，it在句中作形式主语。故选D。
…………
不错
