Once upon a time, dragons were strong but didn’t have horns (角). They could fly in the sky and swim in the sea. The dragon wanted to be the leader, more than the Tiger King. So, it battled with the tiger, but neither could win. The Jade Emperor decided to end their fight. So he asked them both to heaven. On his way to heaven, the dragon borrowed horns from a rooster. In heaven, the Jade Emperor was impressed by both the dragon and the tiger. He made both of them kings: the dragon of the sea and the tiger of the land. That’s how the dragon joined the animal signs. The dragon stayed in the water, keeping the horns to show his power. After hearing this, the rooster became angry, so we can still see roosters with red faces today. The dragon is not only the magical creature in the Chinese animal signs, but it’s very important in Chinese culture. It symbolizes power and magic. Emperors called them selves Sons of the Dragon, because dragons represent wildness, wisdom, and spirituality, with many stories about them. I wish you all a life as grand as a dragon’s, reaching for dreams with wisdom. (注：答案不超过七个词） 1．Did the dragon win the battle with the tiger at first? 2．Why did the dragon keep the horns from the rooster? 3．Who was crowned (加冕) King by the Jade Emperor? 4．What does the underlined word “symbolize” mean in English? 5．What spirit can you learn from the dragon? 02 （2024·江苏扬州·二模）阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。(每题答案不超过10个词) Uncle Tom lived in a small log cabin near his master’s house with his wife, Aunt Chloe, and their children.

In 1998, he chose to teach village children after graduation. At that time, the conditions of the village school were terrible. Some students had to bring chairs from home to school because there weren’t enough chairs. The number of students became smaller and smaller because many villagers took their children to cities. Some teachers left the school to search for better jobs too. The teachers who stayed there had to teach all the subjects. “I come from the poor countryside and know how important education is for village children. I will continue teaching in the school till the last student leaves.” Yao said. Because of his great work, Yao was made the headmaster of the school in 2004. In the same year, his wife started working as a teacher there too. They took good care of the students as if they were their own children. Yao used to have a heart-to-heart talk with other teachers so that they could feel at home in the school and like their work. Many of the school’s graduates have entered college. Jiao Shufeng, one of them, said, “Yao was my favourite teacher. He helped me form good study habits. I was lucky to have him as my teacher when I was young.

The small village sits on a cliff (悬崖) of eight hundred meters high. People could only get up to it by climbing a 2,556-step metal ladder. Chen Beier was making a program about it. In October, 2021, China reached an important goal. It had done away with extreme poverty (贫穷). Many people outside couldn’t believe it. After all, China has a large number of poor villages. In order to show the truth to people, Chen set out to make the program No Poverty Land. It was difficult to finish the trip. When she was halfway up the ladder to Atule’er, for example, Chen felt so tired that she could hardly go any further. She was also afraid of heights. Some people advised her to give up on the climb. But the woman set her teeth and continued her climb. This metal ladder, in fact, is only six years old. Before it was built, it wasn’t convenient to climb the mountain and villagers used a ladder made of plants. The government also built houses for the villagers at the foot of the mountain. Through the program No Poverty Land, people can easily see how life in poor places of China has been improved. China has changed a lot, but some people just find it hard to believe.

Zhi Xuanzi was head of a big clan (家族) in the State of Jin (770-476 BC). He wanted a clan member, Zhi Yao, to be his successor (继承人). However, another man in the clan, Zhi Guo, was against the idea. Zhi Guo listed some strong points of Zhi Yao. For example, he was good at riding and shooting. He was decisive and talkative. But Zhi Guo said that he had a big problem with his morals. He thought he had an unkind heart. Still, Zhi Xuanzi didn’t listen to the idea. Zhi Yao became head of the clan. With his leadership abilities, he quickly made his clan the strongest in the State of Jin. However, because of his aggressive style, three other clans worked together to fight against the Zhi clan. Finally, the Zhi clan was beaten. Sima Guang used this story to stress the importance of morals. Having only talent is not enough for a great person. He said that excellent people must have both talent and virtue. Those who have virtue but no talent might work inefficiently. Those who have talent but no virtue might not use their talent properly. Those who have both talent and virtue were called xiancai in ancient times. If you ask which one is more important between the two, it must be virtue. Only if a person has virtue can he or she get on the right track. In 2018, when President Xi Jinping talked with students and teachers at Peking University, he mentioned Sima Guang’s ideas. He said good education should develop both a person’s virtues and talents. Educators must follow this idea. As students, we can also make it our goal. 21．Who wrote the book History as a Mirror? 22．In Zhi Guo’s opinion, what were Zhi Yao’s strong points? 23．Why was Zhi Guo against Zhi Yao becoming the new leader? 24．What happened to the Zhi clan under Zhi Yao’s leadership at last? 25．What should we students be like, according to the story?

He lives and works in Kunming now. In Dounan Market, Kunming, the largest fresh-cut flower market in Asia, he has seen many flowers he never saw before and knows more about the relationship between flowers and Chinese culture. There, Konthee saw phalaenopsis (蝴蝶兰) for the first time. The flower seller told him that the flower means wealth and longevity (长寿) in China. This reminded him of the knowledge of Chinese culture he had learned before. “When I was learning Chinese, I learned that in ancient China, plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo and chrysanthemums (梅兰竹菊) stood for a gentleman’s character,” Konthee said. Konthee was also amazed by begonias (秋海棠). They represent deep love. He remembered reading about the begonia in A Dream of Red Mansions, where it stands for the sad love between Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu. Besides the unique cultural background that gives flowers their imagery, the rich history of China also influenced the naming of many flowers. Peonies (牡丹), for example, have also been known as “the Luoyang flower” because Luoyang has had the most kinds of peonies since the Tang dynasties. Konthee’s photography catches these natural wonders. His journey has taught him more about the flowers in Chinese culture. 39．Where did Konthee see many unfamiliar flowers in Kunming? 40．What did plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo and chrysanthemums stand for in ancient China? 41．How did Konthee feel when he knew about begonias? 42．When did peonies start to be known as “the Luoyang flower”? 43．What is the passage mainly about? 10 （2024·江苏南通·二模）请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 Yang Ling, 25, is a lover of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). She took part in a three-month training course on acupuncture and tuina (针灸推拿) in the winter of 2023 at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. Yang’s life has been different since the training. She changed her life habits after learning the Five Elements theory. For example, she avoided sweating (流汗) too much during exercise in winter and would slow down because of the cold winter, according to TCM. To her, learning these skills and theories was not becoming a TCM doctor but about accepting a new lifestyle. She is not an unusual example of young people loving TCM. A survey by China Youth Daily showed that 93.3 percent of the 1,000 young people had tried different TCM treatments. “I have seen a rising number of young people come to me for neck and back pains, which are usually related to the elderly,” said Ma Huifang, a TCM doctor at Guoyitang, a TCM hospital affiliated to Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. “Between Western medicine and TCM, young people often choose TCM because of its effectiveness (有效性),” according to Ma. Some people question why TCM treats the same illnesses with different therapies. “This is actually an advantage of TCM instead of a shortcoming, as it can be a more effective treatment for different patients,” Ma explained. Younger age groups are welcoming TCM, and, at the same time, TCM is also benefiting young people. As Yang noted, “It helps young people understand Chinese medicine and learn the value of Chinese culture.” 44．Who is Yang Ling in this passage? 45．How long did the course Acupuncture and tuina 2023 last? 46．What has Yang learned about exercise in winter after the training? 47．Why does TCM treat the same illnesses with different therapies? 48．Would you like to learn about TCM? Why? 11 （2024·江苏扬州·二模）阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。(每题答案不超过10个词) Jo was the first to wake up on Christmas morning. When her sisters were awake too, they all went down to the kitchen.

To save them, the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project a few years ago. This project looks at how people talk in 1,712 places. Their languages include 103 dialects that are almost gone. It has helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world. There’s an online library where people can learn dialects from over 5.6 million audio clips (音频) and over 5 million videos. According to British linguist Harold Palmer, dialects are a key to store local cultures. Language faithfully shows the history, the beliefs and the biases of an area, he said. Scholar Zhang Hongming talked about his worries of the disappearing of dialects. “For about over 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect. Meanwhile, young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. If this keeps happening, the dialect might disappear.” he said. So how did China make this big library? A big national effort has been put into the project to make it happen, said Cao Zhiyun, chief expert on the project. Over five years, more than 350 universities and research groups joined in, along with over 4,500 experts and more than 6,000 dialect speakers. The project is now entering into its second part. This includes creating digital tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people learn dialects. 回答下列5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 54．When did the Chinese government start the project? 55．Where can people learn dialects? 56．What does the British linguist think of dialects? 57．What’s Scholar Zhang Hongming worrying about? 58．How can people protect dialects? 13 （2024·江苏盐城·二模）阅读并回答问题 Kim is fourteen years old.

Once upon a time, dragons were strong but didn’t have horns (角). They could fly in the sky and swim in the sea. The dragon wanted to be the leader, more than the Tiger King. So, it battled with the tiger, but neither could win. The Jade Emperor decided to end their fight. So he asked them both to heaven. On his way to heaven, the dragon borrowed horns from a rooster. In heaven, the Jade Emperor was impressed by both the dragon and the tiger. He made both of them kings: the dragon of the sea and the tiger of the land. That’s how the dragon joined the animal signs. The dragon stayed in the water, keeping the horns to show his power. After hearing this, the rooster became angry, so we can still see roosters with red faces today. The dragon is not only the magical creature in the Chinese animal signs, but it’s very important in Chinese culture. It symbolizes power and magic.

Zhi Xuanzi was head of a big clan (家族) in the State of Jin (770-476 BC). He wanted a clan member, Zhi Yao, to be his successor (继承人). However, another man in the clan, Zhi Guo, was against the idea. Zhi Guo listed some strong points of Zhi Yao. For example, he was good at riding and shooting. He was decisive and talkative. But Zhi Guo said that he had a big problem with his morals. He thought he had an unkind heart. Still, Zhi Xuanzi didn’t listen to the idea. Zhi Yao became head of the clan. With his leadership abilities, he quickly made his clan the strongest in the State of Jin. However, because of his aggressive style, three other clans worked together to fight against the Zhi clan. Finally, the Zhi clan was beaten. Sima Guang used this story to stress the importance of morals. Having only talent is not enough for a great person. He said that excellent people must have both talent and virtue. Those who have virtue but no talent might work inefficiently. Those who have talent but no virtue might not use their talent properly. Those who have both talent and virtue were called xiancai in ancient times. If you ask which one is more important between the two, it must be virtue. Only if a person has virtue can he or she get on the right track. In 2018, when President Xi Jinping talked with students and teachers at Peking University, he mentioned Sima Guang’s ideas.

She took part in a three-month training course on acupuncture and tuina (针灸推拿) in the winter of 2023 at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. Yang’s life has been different since the training. She changed her life habits after learning the Five Elements theory. For example, she avoided sweating (流汗) too much during exercise in winter and would slow down because of the cold winter, according to TCM. To her, learning these skills and theories was not becoming a TCM doctor but about accepting a new lifestyle. She is not an unusual example of young people loving TCM. A survey by China Youth Daily showed that 93.3 percent of the 1,000 young people had tried different TCM treatments. “I have seen a rising number of young people come to me for neck and back pains, which are usually related to the elderly,” said Ma Huifang, a TCM doctor at Guoyitang, a TCM hospital affiliated to Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. “Between Western medicine and TCM, young people often choose TCM because of its effectiveness (有效性),” according to Ma. Some people question why TCM treats the same illnesses with different therapies. “This is actually an advantage of TCM instead of a shortcoming, as it can be a more effective treatment for different patients,” Ma explained.

While many Chinese people speak Putonghua, some local dialects are in danger of disappearing. To save them, the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project a few years ago. This project looks at how people talk in 1,712 places. Their languages include 103 dialects that are almost gone. It has helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world. There’s an online library where people can learn dialects from over 5.6 million audio clips (音频) and over 5 million videos. According to British linguist Harold Palmer, dialects are a key to store local cultures. Language faithfully shows the history, the beliefs and the biases of an area, he said. Scholar Zhang Hongming talked about his worries of the disappearing of dialects. “For about over 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect. Meanwhile, young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. If this keeps happening, the dialect might disappear.” he said. So how did China make this big library? A big national effort has been put into the project to make it happen, said Cao Zhiyun, chief expert on the project. Over five years, more than 350 universities and research groups joined in, along with over 4,500 experts and more than 6,000 dialect speakers. The project is now entering into its second part. This includes creating digital tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people learn dialects. 回答下列5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 54．When did the Chinese government start the project? 55．Where can people learn dialects? 56．What does the British linguist think of dialects? 57．What’s Scholar Zhang Hongming worrying about? 58．How can people protect dialects? 【答案】54．A few years ago. 55．In/From/On an online library. 56．A key to store local cultures. 57．The disappearing of dialects. 58．By creating digital tools./People can often speaking dialects./... 【导语】本文主要介绍为了防止一些地方方言消失，中国政府启动了汉语资源保护项目。 54．根据“To save them, the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project a few years ago.”可知，是在几年前开始的这个项目。故填A few years ago. 55．根据“There’s an online library where people can learn dialects…”可知，可以在线上图书馆学习方言。故填In/From/On an online library. 56．根据“According to British linguist Harold Palmer, dialects are a key to store local cultures.”可知，英国语言学家认为方言是储存当地文化的关键。故填A key to store local cultures. 57．根据“Scholar Zhang Hongming talked about his worries of the disappearing of dialects.”可知，他担心方言消失。故填The disappearing of dialects. 58．根据“more than 350 universities and research groups joined in, along with over 4,500 experts and more than 6,000 dialect speakers…This includes creating digital tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people learn dialects.”可知，可以通过创造数据工具帮助学习方言，也可以通过人们多说方言对方言进行保护。故填By creating digital tools./People can often speaking dialects./... 13 （2024·江苏盐城·二模）阅读并回答问题 Kim is fourteen years old.
