One day, when Confucius（孔子） and his students were walking through a large forest, they 1 an old man standing under a tree, catching cicadas（蝉） with a bamboo stick. Confucius was 2 and asked, “How could you catch the
cicadas so easily? Do you have any special 3 ?”
“Yes,” the old man answered. “There are many cicadas in this forest. But it is difficult to catch them. Cicadas are 4 little insects. If they hear the noise of the leaves in the wind, they will fly away 5 . Therefore, people who want to catch cicadas must 6 their hands to hold a bamboo stick without shaking. If you can 7 three pellets（弹珠） on the top of the bamboo stick without falling off, catching cicadas is as 8 as picking a ball up from the ground.

Right now, I am standing under a tree like half of a tree stump（树桩）, with my 11 reaching out like part of a withered twig（枯萎的树枝）.

二、阅读理解（20分）（2017·绍兴市柯桥区模拟）
Have you seen the movie The Shawshank Redemption（《肖申克的救赎》）? If so, you might be moved by Andy, who tries to get freedom by running away from the hopeless prison（监狱）. It is hard to imagine what life would be like in prison. However,
Old Melbourne Gaol gives us such a chance. It is a museum in Melbourne, which served as prison between 1842 and 1929.
We experienced being prisoners in the prison. All of us were asked to put down everything and then we were checked. We couldn’t hide anything. After a while, we were given cards with untrue names and charges（指控）. We read the information loudly and then the “police” explained it in a funny way. For example, a gentleman’s
charge was carrying an illegal weapon（武器） which was actually just an umbrella.
Soon we were divided into groups and went to different rooms. The light was off inside. We could not see anything. All we could hear was our breath. It was the longest five minutes of my life. I was in a tiny room with a number of strangers. I could have the worst feelings as the prisoners. The police finally opened the door and led us to the activity area. We relaxed in the sunlight and decided to behave ourselves in the future.
I have visited many museums in Australia. I think Australian museums are quite interesting. They not only add modern technology to historical relics（遗迹）, but also hold different activities for visitors. We often do some research in museums. （ ）1. The writer mentioned the movie in the first paragraph to__________.
A. introduce the story of the movie
B. tell readers about the main character Andy C. introduce her trip to a special museum D. tell readers about all museums in Melbo-urne
（ ）2. How did the visitors’ experience being prisoners?
A. They took a few things with them. B. They used the same special name. C. There were real policemen there.
D. They stayed in dark rooms for five minutes.
（ ）3. It can be inferred that the writer might feel__________during the five-minute stay.
A. hopeless B. encouraged
C. funny D. relaxed
（ ）4. According to the story, we know that__________.
A. the writer visited the prison from The Shawshank Redemption B. the prisoner experience taught the writer to be proud C. the writer prefers Australian museums to those in China
D. it’s good for museums to hold activities and allow research to be done

五、One possible version: Dear Sir,
Recently, our class have had a discussion about how to reduce study load. Here’s the result.
Most students think teachers should choose our homework carefully, and we should be given less homework. Usually, too much homework makes us tired. Some students
hope we should be allowed to get to school a little later so that we can get enough sleep. As for parents, they shouldn’t push us too hard to take too many after-school classes. Then, we can do what we like.
In my opinion, we’d better have fewer exams. And it’s necessary to provide more colorful activities which are good for our development.
Yours, Li Wen
