Back in the 1990s Henry Rotich who is from Kenya, did not know much about China, with his best connection to the country being a teakettle made in Shanghai that was owned by his grandmother.
Nevertheless, he applied to study in China when an opportunity presented itself in 1998. Luckily, he got the chance to come to China to pursue his master’s degree in chemistry at the same year. And his main challenge at that time was learning the language. However, he could communicate with people easily by simple Chinese after a month.
“During my travels around China as a student, I found people very friendly and helpful. That is how I came to learn their language fast.”
“Learning language and culture depends on one’s mindset as well as the opportunity to live in an environment where the language is used daily,” Rotich said. He believes that China’s scholarship program for African students to study in China has been instrumental in helping young Africans learn Chinese and immerse (沉浸) themselves in the culture.
To complete his chemistry studies, Rotich spent eight years in China. Asked about the benefits of studying in the country, Rotich, who is married to a Chinese woman, quipped (打趣) that he came back to Kenya with “three degrees” in the same period it would take others to get just two degrees. “The first degree is my wife, the second one is my master’s and finally, my PhD,” he said proudly.
Rotich said different countries and people should concentrate on their cultural similarities. He has noted many similarities between the Chinese and Kenyan cultures, and this has helped him appreciate the Chinese way of life. The similarities include respect for the elderly, families gathering during special festivals, and good neighborliness.
As chairman of the Kenya-China Alumni Association for Kenyan students who studied in China, Rotich praised the role played by Chinese scholarships in promoting cultural exchanges between the two countries.
4. Why did Henry Rotich learn Chinese so fast at the beginning?
A. He married a Chinese girl. B. He got lots of help from Chinese people.
C. He was more intelligent than other students. D. He devoted all his spare time to studying
5. What can we know about Henry Rotich from the passage?
A. He came to China to study Chinese. B. He bought a teakettle made in Shanghai.
C. He got three degrees when studying in China. D. He has a good knowledge of Chinese culture.
6. What does Rotich think of China’s scholarship program?
A. It contributes to the cultural communication. B. It increases the cultural similarities.
C. It promotes Kenya’s economic growth. D. It helps young Kenyans get higher degrees.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Challenges Henry Rotich met in China
B. Cultural cooperation between China and Kenya
C. Henry Rotich’s studying in China — a wise choice
D. Henry Rotich’s working experience in China — a magic story
C
In the last hundred years, the Bali mynah (巴厘岛白椋鸟) has been sought after for its white feathers and blue skin.
The capture for sale along with the bird’s habitat loss led to its being listed as “threatened” in 1988. In 1994 the Bali mynah was moved to “critically endangered”. By 2001, experts estimated only about six Bali mynahs were living in the wild, with thousands in captivity (圈养) across the world.
Now, conservationists are hoping to increase the mynah population by working with bird breeders and sellers to release them into the wild. Actually, in the 1980s, an organization now called Bird Life International started to work with the government to launch a breeding program for the birds.
Breeders can seek government permits to breed the birds. If approved, breeders are given mynahs and can keep 90 percent of the baby birds for private sale. The remaining birds are released at the National Park, where they will be closely watched by park officials.
Early mynah releases faced problems. Some birds were infected with some diseases; others were killed by natural hunters. Illegal hunting also continued — the national park’s breeding center was even robbed, with nearly 40 birds stolen.
Yet conservation efforts in the last ten years have seen greater success. Tom Squires, a famous conservationist said: “Bird keepers can still keep birds and follow their hobby without causing real problems for wild populations — which is better than species going extinct in the world.”
Agus Ngurah, also a well-known conservationist, praised the program. “With the community being the breeders… they are helping us to take care of the birds existing in nature,” he said.
Squires noted that there is clear evidence that some released birds have produced young ones. “So that leads me to believe that the population is certainly self-sustaining to an extent,” he said. Meanwhile, 420 Bali mynahs are now found living in the National Park.
According to Logan William, another conservationist, “The government should give something back to the community so they can feel the benefits from conservation, and the bird can also benefit.”
8. Why is the mynah hunted by humans?
A. They are pests. B. They taste good.
C. They look beautiful. D. They are countless.
9. What can we infer from the three conservationists’ words?
A. The government contributes the least.
B. Bird keepers can keep the birds freely.
C The efforts of protecting the mynah have paid off.
D. The community can breed birds for profits completely.
10. How many reasons may cause releasing problems?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
11. What might be the writer’s attitude to the breeding programme?
A. Approving. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Opposed.
D
Think twice before you reply to a message with just an emoji (表情符号) . An emoji that represents happiness to one person may express a different emotion to another.
To learn more, Ruth Filik at the University of Nottingham, UK, and her colleagues employed 270 British people and 253 people from other countries aged between 18 and 84 years old, with a roughly equal split of men and women, to take part in an online survey. The researchers chose 24 emojis that represented six emotions: happy, disgusted, fearful, sad, surprised or angry, based on the suggested ones that appear when you type out these words. There were four emojis per emotion, representing the different designs used by Apple, Windows, Android and WeChat. Each participant then assigned the emojis to the emotion that they thought was the best match.
Women were more likely to match the emojis to the same emotions chosen by the researchers, compared with the men. It may be that women are better at recognizing facial expressions, possibly because they make more eye contact, according to the team. The younger participants also matched up the emojis better than their older counterparts, perhaps because they use these more often. Meanwhile, the British participants matched the emojis better than the others.
“For example, it has been suggested that they seldom use the happy emoji to express happiness, instead, they use it for negative meanings such as sarcasm (讽刺) ,” according to the researchers. “When you’re then sending someone a message with an emoji, you can’t just assume that they see it the same way that you do,” says Filik.
Isabelle Boutet at the University of Ottawa, Canada, says that matching 24 emojis to just six emotions is quite constrictive. Nevertheless, “there are issues with assigning specific emotional labels to emojis when we don’t know how they’re interpreted by different online communities”, she says. “For example, you would have never thought to use an eggplant as an disapproval if that meaning hadn’t been developed in specific communities.”
12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The research results. B. The research process.
C. The research theory. D. The research conditions.
13. Who may be better at matching the emojis to the same emotions?
A. An old French man. B. A young Chinese man.
C. A young British lady. D. An old Japanese lady.
14. What does the underlined word “constrictive” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Limited. B. Complicated. C. Difficult. D. Professional.
15. What is the text?
A. A biography. B. A book review.
C. A science fiction. D. A science report.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Laughter is a universal language for humans to connect with each other and form social bonds. Even as babies, we giggle when our parents pull funny faces, and then gradually learn to make others laugh as we grow up. ___16___ Scientists have observed behaviors in animals that suggest that your pets might be secret jokesters.
Have you ever seen dogs let people come close to their toy, and then playfully run away with it? Biologist Charles Darwin saw this as the dog’s version of a practical joke. Mare Bekoff, biology professor, also observed dogs playfully teasing each other by approaching slowly and then quickly running away. ___17___ And he’s also said that animals may goof around (瞎胡闹) as a way to cope with stress.
In a 2024 study, Isabelle Laumer and colleagues watched four ape species interact with each other and observed 18 distinct teasing behaviors. They saw young apes move towards an adult quietly, pat them to surprise them and then wait and watch the response, behaviour similar to that shown by human children. ___18___
What about laughing? While playing, dogs sometimes produce a breathy snort (哼) that could sound like laughter. ___19___ Rats make a joyful squeak (吱吱声) similar to a giggle when they are tickled, says Jeffrey Burgdorf, professor at Northwestern University.
___20___ Are the apes in Laumer’s study really joking around or just attention-seeking? What would be the evolutionary purpose of animals teasing? “In humans, humour can serve as an ice-breaker, removing social barriers and strengthening relationships,” says Laumer. “We don’t know if it’s the same in apes or other animals, but it’s possible.”
A. But is it a uniquely human experience?
B. His study showed that rats intend to tease.
C. Dolphins let out a squeak when they are hungry.
D. Dolphins let out sounds of joy when play-fighting.
E. His work concluded that dogs just want to have fun.
F. But is a rat’s giggle really a sign of a sense of humour?
G. So, a sense of humour may have appeared early in our evolutionary timeline.

After the test, the patients reported they felt better physically and ___28___ after exercising with or without music. ___29___, their improvement on cognitive ability doubled when exercising to music. “Exercising to music seems to bring ___30___ changes in nervous system, which may have a direct ___31___ on cognitive ability,” Emery said.
“The ___32___ of the two elements may increase cognitive ability to a degree.” Emery said. But the conclusion was not convincing. ___33___, the music styles adopted in the previous tests were not colorful.

Looking back on my childhood, I am constantly disturbed by a broken blue and white porcelain (青花瓷) bowl, which was from China and handed down from my grandfather’s parents. It was placed high on a wood shelf in the living room and appreciated by all the guests visiting my home. At that time, I rushed to do everything: I was looking forward to growing up, graduating, and showing off everything I knew with all my friends. But my dear grandfather always reminded me: “Garrett, do not show off. You’ll need plenty of patience and modesty, and that is the way to growth.”
Knowing I loved the bowl very much, my grandpa decided to give it to me. But my mother, a lady who worked as a nurse, caring for patients at night, protested. She was afraid I would break it if I showed off. So finally it was still kept on the high shelf, out of my reach.
Soon, it was time for me to enter the new school. Refusing to be sent to school, I rode my new bike to school every day on the winding and tough road. Once I fell over at the bend of the road, but I was happy when my new bike became the envy of my classmates. However, Crawley, one of my classmates, a well-to-do fellow, whose way of impressing others was to parade his possessions before us. His bike was newer; his boots were of the best hide. Actually, what he had was better than ours. until one day he brought a beautiful glass bowl. He said the bowl was from London, absolutely the finest one we had seen.
“I have a blue and white porcelain bowl from China, which is definitely the oldest and finest one that you have ever seen!” I announced. “Yeah? ” said the boy. “Well, show it to us.”

Back in the 1990s, Henry Rotich who is from Kenya, did not know much about China, with his best connection to the country being a teakettle made in Shanghai that was owned by his grandmother.
Nevertheless, he applied to study in China when an opportunity presented itself in 1998. Luckily, he got the chance to come to China to pursue his master’s degree in chemistry at the same year. And his main challenge at that time was learning the language. However, he could communicate with people easily by simple Chinese after a month.
“During my travels around China as a student, I found people very friendly and helpful. That is how I came to learn their language fast.”
“Learning language and culture depends on one’s mindset as well as the opportunity to live in an environment where the language is used daily,” Rotich said. He believes that China’s scholarship program for African students to study in China has been instrumental in helping young Africans learn Chinese and immerse (沉浸) themselves in the culture.
To complete his chemistry studies, Rotich spent eight years in China. Asked about the benefits of studying in the country, Rotich, who is married to a Chinese woman, quipped (打趣) that he came back to Kenya with “three degrees” in the same period it would take others to get just two degrees. “The first degree is my wife, the second one is my master’s and finally, my PhD,” he said proudly.
Rotich said different countries and people should concentrate on their cultural similarities. He has noted many similarities between the Chinese and Kenyan cultures, and this has helped him appreciate the Chinese way of life. The similarities include respect for the elderly, families gathering during special festivals, and good neighborliness.
As chairman of the Kenya-China Alumni Association for Kenyan students who studied in China, Rotich praised the role played by Chinese scholarships in promoting cultural exchanges between the two countries.

In the last hundred years, the Bali mynah (巴厘岛白椋鸟) has been sought after for its white feathers and blue skin.
The capture for sale along with the bird’s habitat loss led to its being listed as “threatened” in 1988. In 1994 the Bali mynah was moved to “critically endangered”. By 2001 experts estimated only about six Bali mynahs were living in the wild, with thousands in captivity (圈养) across the world.
Now, conservationists are hoping to increase the mynah population by working with bird breeders and sellers to release them into the wild. Actually, in the 1980s, an organization now called Bird Life International started to work with the government to launch a breeding program for the birds.
Breeders can seek government permits to breed the birds. If approved, breeders are given mynahs and can keep 90 percent of the baby birds for private sale. The remaining birds are released at the National Park, where they will be closely watched by park officials.
Early mynah releases faced problems. Some birds were infected with some diseases; others were killed by natural hunters. Illegal hunting also continued — the national park’s breeding center was even robbed, with nearly 40 birds stolen.
Yet conservation efforts in the last ten years have seen greater success. Tom Squires, a famous conservationist said: “Bird keepers can still keep birds and follow their hobby without causing real problems for wild populations — which is better than species going extinct in the world.”
Agus Ngurah, also a well-known conservationist, praised the program. “With the community being the breeders… they are helping us to take care of the birds existing in nature,” he said.
Squires noted that there is clear evidence that some released birds have produced young ones. “So that leads me to believe that the population is certainly self-sustaining to an extent,” he said. Meanwhile, 420 Bali mynahs are now found living in the National Park.
According to Logan William, another conservationist, “The government should give something back to the community so they can feel the benefits from conservation, and the bird can also benefit.”
8. Why is the mynah hunted by humans?
A. They are pests. B. They taste good.
C. They look beautiful. D. They are countless.
9. What can we infer from the three conservationists’ words?
A. The government contributes the least.
B. Bird keepers can keep the birds freely.
C. The efforts of protecting the mynah have paid off.
D. The community can breed birds for profits completely.
10. How many reasons may cause releasing problems?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
11. What might be the writer’s attitude to the breeding programme?
A. Approving. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Opposed.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】

Think twice before you reply to a message with just an emoji (表情符号) . An emoji that represents happiness to one person may express a different emotion to another.
To learn more, Ruth Filik at the University of Nottingham, UK, and her colleagues employed 270 British people and 253 people from other countries aged between 18 and 84 years old, with a roughly equal split of men and women, to take part in an online survey. The researchers chose 24 emojis that represented six emotions: happy, disgusted, fearful, sad, surprised or angry, based on the suggested ones that appear when you type out these words. There were four emojis per emotion, representing the different designs used by Apple, Windows, Android and WeChat. Each participant then assigned the emojis to the emotion that they thought was the best match.
Women were more likely to match the emojis to the same emotions chosen by the researchers, compared with the men. It may be that women are better at recognizing facial expressions, possibly because they make more eye contact, according to the team. The younger participants also matched up the emojis better than their older counterparts, perhaps because they use these more often. Meanwhile, the British participants matched the emojis better than the others.
“For example, it has been suggested that they seldom use the happy emoji to express happiness, instead, they use it for negative meanings such as sarcasm (讽刺) ,” according to the researchers. “When you’re then sending someone a message with an emoji, you can’t just assume that they see it the same way that you do,” says Filik.
Isabelle Boutet at the University of Ottawa, Canada, says that matching 24 emojis to just six emotions is quite constrictive. Nevertheless, “there are issues with assigning specific emotional labels to emojis when we don’t know how they’re interpreted by different online communities”, she says. “For example, you would have never thought to use an eggplant as an disapproval if that meaning hadn’t been developed in specific communities.”
12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The research results. B. The research process.
C. The research theory. D. The research conditions.
13. Who may be better at matching the emojis to the same emotions?
A. An old French man. B. A young Chinese man.
C. A young British lady. D. An old Japanese lady.
14. What does the underlined word “constrictive” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Limited. B. Complicated. C. Difficult. D. Professional.
15. What is the text?
A. A biography. B. A book review.
C. A science fiction. D. A science report.
【答案】12 B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】

【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Isabelle Boutet at the University of Ottawa, Canada, says that matching 24 emojis to just six emotions is quite constrictive. Nevertheless, “there are issues with assigning specific emotional labels to emojis when we don’t know how they’re interpreted by different online communities”, she says. “For example, you would have never thought to use an eggplant as a disapproval if that meaning hadn’t been developed in specific communities.”(加拿大渥太华大学的Isabelle Boutet说,将24个表情符号与6种情绪相匹配相当constrictive。然而,她说,“当我们不知道不同的在线社区是如何解释表情符号时,为表情符号分配特定的情感标签是有问题的”。“例如,如果茄子的含义没有在特定的社区中得到发展,你永远不会想到用它来表示反对。”)”可知,为表情符号分配特定的情感标签存在问题,如果某种表情符号没有在特定范围内得到发展,那么你就不会想到这种表情符号具备特定的情绪色彩,由此可推知,将表情符号与情绪匹配是有限制的,划线单词表示“有限的”,与limited意义相近。故选A。

Laughter is a universal language for humans to connect with each other and form social bonds. Even as babies, we giggle when our parents pull funny faces, and then gradually learn to make others laugh as we grow up. ___16___ Scientists have observed behaviors in animals that suggest that your pets might be secret jokesters.
Have you ever seen dogs let people come close to their toy, and then playfully run away with it? Biologist Charles Darwin saw this as the dog’s version of a practical joke. Mare Bekoff, biology professor, also observed dogs playfully teasing each other by approaching slowly and then quickly running away. ___17___ And he’s also said that animals may goof around (瞎胡闹) as a way to cope with stress.
In a 2024 study, Isabelle Laumer and colleagues watched four ape species interact with each other and observed 18 distinct teasing behaviors. They saw young apes move towards an adult quietly, pat them to surprise them and then wait and watch the response, behaviour similar to that shown by human children. ___18___
What about laughing? While playing, dogs sometimes produce a breathy snort (哼) that could sound like laughter. ___19___ Rats make a joyful squeak (吱吱声) similar to a giggle when they are tickled, says Jeffrey Burgdorf, professor at Northwestern University.
___20___ Are the apes in Laumer’s study really joking around or just attention-seeking? What would be the evolutionary purpose of animals teasing? “In humans, humour can serve as an ice-breaker, removing social barriers and strengthening relationships,” says Laumer. “We don’t know if it’s the same in apes or other animals, but it’s possible.”
A. But is it a uniquely human experience?
B. His study showed that rats intend to tease.
C. Dolphins let out a squeak when they are hungry.
D. Dolphins let out sounds of joy when play-fighting.
E. His work concluded that dogs just want to have fun.
F. But is a rat’s giggle really a sign of a sense of humour?
G. So, a sense of humour may have appeared early in our evolutionary timeline.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Looking back on my childhood, I am constantly disturbed by a broken blue and white porcelain (青花瓷) bowl, which was from China and handed down from my grandfather’s parents. It was placed high on a wood shelf in the living room and appreciated by all the guests visiting my home. At that time, I rushed to do everything: I was looking forward to growing up, graduating, and showing off everything I knew with all my friends. But my dear grandfather always reminded me: “Garrett, do not show off. You’ll need plenty of patience and modesty, and that is the way to growth.”
Knowing I loved the bowl very much, my grandpa decided to give it to me. But my mother, a lady who worked as a nurse, caring for patients at night, protested. She was afraid I would break it if I showed off. So finally it was still kept on the high shelf, out of my reach.
Soon, it was time for me to enter the new school. Refusing to be sent to school, I rode my new bike to school every day on the winding and tough road. Once I fell over at the bend of the road, but I was happy when my new bike became the envy of my classmates. However, Crawley, one of my classmates, a well-to-do fellow, whose way of impressing others was to parade his possessions before us. His bike was newer; his boots were of the best hide. Actually, what he had was better than ours. until one day he brought a beautiful glass bowl. He said the bowl was from London, absolutely the finest one we had seen.
“I have a blue and white porcelain bowl from China, which is definitely the oldest and finest one that you have ever seen!” I announced. “Yeah? ” said the boy. “Well, show it to us.”
“I will bring it tomorrow morning! And then you will see how beautiful it is!” After school, I rushed home as quickly as possible and waited for Mother to go to work.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: Immediately Mother left home, I wondered how I could take the bowl down.

Paragraph 2: 1 eagerly awaited the arrival of my classmates, ready to show off the precious bowl.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Immediately Mother left home, I wondered how I could take the bowl down. The shelf was too high for me. Looking around, I hoped I could find a ladder. Actually, I knew we had never had a ladder in our home. Then, I decided that I could stand on a bench to reach the bowl. Standing on the bench, my heart began to thump with fear. Fortunately, I reached it. When it was taken down, my throat tightened and my knees felt weak. I put it carefully in my bag, a ripple of excitement running through my heart! The next morning, before Mum came back, I rushed to school with the bowl.
I eagerly awaited the arrival of my classmates, ready to show off the precious bowl. When they saw it, their eyes widened in amazement. Just as I was bathed in their admiration, disaster struck. In my excitement, I accidentally knocked the bowl off the desk, and it shattered into pieces on the floor. My heart sank as I realized the bowl was beyond repair. I had not only lost the bowl but also the connection to my family’s past. Later I was severely criticized by Mother. From that day on, I learned the value of patience and humility, just as my grandfather had always advised.
