A black boy guarded the oak barrels (橡木桶) in his father's winery(酒厂). Every morning he wiped up every barrel with old cloth, and then put them into order row upon row. To his anger, the wind blew the barrels here and there overnight．
The boy was so angry that he wrote a letter to the wind on every barrel with crayon, \don't blow down my barrels.\
After seeing that, his father asked the boy with a smile, \？\The little boy said, \．\
The next morning, when the little boy ran to see the barrels, he found that the wind took no notice of his letter, still blowing the barrels here and there. The little boy felt very wronged and began to cry. His father stroked his head gently, \deal with the wind, but we may have ways for you, so we can have our own methods to conquer the wind．\
Then the little boy dried his tears and sat near the barrel to think over and over. After
thinking half a day, he finally found out a way. He went to the well to pick barrels of water, put them into those empty oak barrels, and then went home to sleep uneasily．
At daybreak, the little boy got up in haste, ran out and saw the barrels were placed in good order. The little boy smiled happily and told his father, \by the wind, we have no way to the wind, but we have ways to ourselves and the barrels. It’s a very simple way, that is, to add weight to the barrels.”
The little boy's father smiled approving．
Yes, we can't change the wind, nor can we change many things in the world, but we can change ourselves and our own weight and the weight of our own mind, so that we can stand firm in the world, nor to be blown down or stricken down by the wind or something else． 54. Why did the boy write the letter to the wind? A. Because his father told him to do so.
B. Because the wind made him feel cold.
C. Because he didn’t like working in his father’s winery. D. Because he didn’t know how to deal with the wind.
55. What does the underlined word “conquer’’ mean in the fourth paragraph?
A. punish B. satisfy C. controlD. reuse
56. Which is the right order of what happened in the story?
a. The boy wrote a letter to the wind b. The wind blew the barrels everywhere c. At last the barrels were put in good order d. The wind paid no attention to his letter.
A. d, c, b, a B. b, a, d, c C. c, d, b, a D. a, b, c, d 57. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Change your mind and you’ll find another way.
B. We can change the wind, but we can’t change ourselves. C. Put on some weight or you will be blown away by the wind.
D. Add some weight into barrels, and barrels will stay firm in the wind.

What do you know about Hainan? Apart from its warm sunshine, golden beaches and blue seas, the province has some other interesting features(特征). This year marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment(建立) of Hainan province. It’s good time for us to take a closer look at the island province.
China’s southernmost city
If you are bored of Hainan’s more popular tourist cities, such as Sanya and Haikou, you may want to go to Sansha. Sansha is China’s southernmost city. It includes many small islands, sandbanks and reefs in the Xisha, Zhongsha and Nansha island groups. Its government is seated on the island of Yongxing. Since Sansha was established in 2012, a hospital, a library and a movie theater have been built on Yongxing. Over 2.5 million plants have been planted there to protect the environment.
The“migratory birds”
Migratory birds fly from the north to the south in winter. In China, a group of people are also referred to as “migratory birds”. Every year, from October to April, people from all over China go on holiday to Hainan to enjoy the warm weather and fresh air. Most of them are elderly people from northern China, especially Northeast China. According to the Hainan local government, more than 1 million elderly choose to spend their winter in Hainan each year. These elderly “migratory birds” also encourage younger family members to join them on the sunny island.
A famous forum(论坛)
People in other countries might not know about Hainan, but they probably know about Boao. Boao, a town in Hainan, became China’s first permanent(永久的) site for hosting international meetings in 2001. Every year in April, the Boao Forum for Asia, a nongovernmental international organization, hosts its annual meetings. Officials, business people and experts from different countries come to Boao to discuss economic issues(问题).
The forum has been important for the development of Asian cities. Hainan and Boao have both benefited(收益) greatly from hosting the conferences. More restaurants and hotels have been built, creating more jobs for locals. An airport was opened in 2016. The forum has helped Hainan build itself into an international tourism destination. 58.What’s the main idea of this passage? A. Famous forum in Boao.
B. China’s southernmost city. C. The elderly“migratory birds”. D. Interesting features of Hainan.
59. What does the underlined word “It’’ refer to? A. Hainan B. Sanya C. Sansha D. Haikou 60. What’s the purpose of holding a forum in Boao?
A. To develop Hainan. B. To create jobs for locals. C. To discuss economic issues. D. To benefit from hosting the forum. 61. Which of the following sentences is TRUE according to the passage? A. Besides Sanya and Haikou, Boao is another popular tourist city.
B. More than 1 million young couples go to Hainan in winter each year.
