A. went B. have been C. have gone D. has been
【答案】B
【解析】

考查现在完成时。went过去式;have/has been去过某地已回;have gone去过未回。根据“twice”,可知这里是说去过两次,应用现在完成时have/has been;主语是I,助动词用have。故选B。

【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——周三早上,广东省梅州市一条高速公路发生坍塌,造成 48 人死亡。——真的吗?这真是个令人悲伤的消息!
考查感叹句。根据“…sad news it is!”可知,news是不可数名词,因此不用冠词,排除BD;感叹句句型为What+形容词+不可数名词+其他,本题的中心词news是名词,因此用感叹词What来引导。故选C。

As time passed, “eating a bowl of thick soup” came to mean “being refused”. The dish was also nicknamed “door-closing thick soup”, since Shi would not open her door for the people who received the dish.

I am Li Ming. I grew up in the countryside. I learned more useful skills than those who grew up in cities.
The first skill I learned was cooking. My parents often came home late and a prepared meal would help them have dinner soon. So I learned to make dough (生面团) at around 10 years old. It’s difficult. However, it didn’t take too long time for me to find the right way. A year after that, I learned to cook different things like noodles and dumplings. I fell in love with cooking because it’s relaxing. More importantly, thanks to my cooking skill, I live better because I cook every meal instead of ordering online. It saves money.
Besides cooking, I did a lot of farm work in my childhood. I learned to plant vegetables. Though it was hard work, the experience taught me a lot. For example, I learned that the fruit of peanut (花生) grows under the earth. Also, the truth of happiness sometimes comes from learning in person. You’ll treasure (珍惜) everything on your plate.
The useful skills I learned not only improve my independence but also supply a new way to me to look at the world. When I heard students in primary and middle schools have labour (劳动) lessons every week, I was happy. The labour education will help students for the rest of their lives.
46. Why did Li Ming learn to cook at first?
A. Because he was bored at home. B. Because he prepared dinner for his parents.
C. Because he wanted to be a cook. D. Because he wanted to save money.

The king watched all day, and many people complained about the stone, but he found nobody was pleased to move it. Just then, the king saw a young girl coming along. She was the daughter of a local farmer. She worked all day and was very tired. But when she saw the stone, she said to herself, “This stone is a danger to anyone who comes down the road after dark. I’ll move it out of the way.” After a lot of effort, the girl finally succeeded in moving the stone to the side of the road. Imagine her surprise when she saw the gold coins under the stone!
Just then the king came out from behind the tree. The king said, “My dear, the gold is mine, but now the gold is yours, because you are the only person that has learned the lesson I want to teach my people. Nothing good can come to a country whose people only expect others to solve problems.”

Watching live streaming (直播) shows has become part of our lives. Let me introduce three popular livestreaming hosts on Douyin to you.
Dong Yuhui
One of the teachers at New Oriental became the latest star on Douyin. There were about 108,000 people in the online studio (工作室) on Saturday, with sales hitting 15.34 million yuan. He teaches English and sells things at the same time, which made young people show great interest in it.
Liu Genghong
Every netizen (网友) knows his live-streamed workout sessions (健身直播) with his wife. From half past seven p. m. to nine p. m. , millions of people follow Liu to have 90-minute exercise. At the beginning, Liu only had a few followers, but no one could imagine that he could get over 20 million followers on Douyi n in such a short time. The people dancing with Liu are school pupils, firefighters and even others who hardly exercised before. Liu Genghong’s success doesn’t happen overnight (一夜之间). His hard work over the years together with some luck makes him who he is today.
Liu Jing
A livestreaming host sells naan (馕) at the Urumqi Naan Cultural Industrial Park. The park creates jobs for about 2,000 people and sells about 600,000 naan a day. Naan can stay for a long time, making it convenient (便利的) for long journeys. Last year, Liu Jing left her job and said “I want to spread the culture of Naan to tell
people about beautiful Xinjiang.”
36. What did Dong Yuhui do in the past?
A. A doctor. B. A teacher. C. An engineer. D. A book seller.

These days, mystery box travel (旅行盲盒) have become popular among China’s young people. In normal trips, people often plan their vacations well early. However, more and more young people start to buy mystery boxes to travel because of low prices. After buying a mystery box—usually 100 or 200 yuan, the travelers will choose their departure (出发) airport and receive several places to choose from. After the place is decided, their trip begins.
Mr. Cheng wants to go on a mystery box trip.“Going out alone usually costs too much and too many people don’t know where to go. However, the mystery box will offer me a few places, which makes me feel wonderful, and it’s very cheap.” Cheng told Haibao News, a media in Shangdon g Province.
Since the places include many less popular cities, travel mystery also brings energy and economic benefits to these places. For example, Dehong city is a beautiful city in Yunnan Province, but there are few visitors. Now it has got a lot of attention. But even so, a large number of people feel upset with travel mystery boxes because of some problems that they meet with. Such as improper times, sudden flight cancel (取消) and so on.
Travel is like a box of chocolates, and you never know what you’re going to get, especially when using a mystery box plane ticket.
39. Why do more young people choose to buy travel mystery boxes?
A. It’s popular with the young B. It’s cheap
C. It makes people excited D. It’s convenient
40. Mr. Cheng thinks travel mystery boxes ____________.
①wonderful ②interesting ③cost less ④more direct
A. ①② B. ①③ C. ③④ D. ②④
41. From the third paragraph, we can learn that ____________.
A. nobody doesn’t like travel mystery boxes B. Mr. Cheng has turned his interest into reality
C. Dehong city is always a popular tourist city D. travel mystery boxes are good for the economy
C
In China, when you refused someone, he or she might say he or she eats a bowl of door-closing thick soup. In Chinese, it is called “吃闭门羹 (Eating a bowl of door-closing thick soup)” What is the story behind this saying? It is said that during the Tang Dynasty, there lived a beautiful woman named Shi Feng. Many young men admired (仰慕) her. But Shi was hard to choose. She asked her admirers (追求者) to write poems and show them to her. She did this to see how talented they were. If Shi liked someone’s poems, she would agree to meet him. If she didn’t, she would’t meet him. But then, to be polite, she would at least give him a bowl of “geng” to eat. “Geng” is a type of thick soup. It is usually made with grain, fruit and vegetables.
As time passed, “eating a bowl of thick soup” came to mean “being refused”. The dish was also nicknamed “door-closing thick soup”, since Shi would not open her door for the people who received the dish.
But there is a twist (转折) to this story. “Door-closing thick soup” was said to be so tasty that people started coming to Shi’s door not to meet her, but to have a taste of the soup!
42. Shi would agree to meet men who were ________.
A. honest B. good-looking C. talented D. rich
43. The underlined word “this” refers to (指代) ________.
A. asking her admirers to write poems B. asking her admirers to read poems
C. asking her admirers to eat a bowl of “geng” D. helping her admirers to write poems happily
44. “Having door-closing thick soup” is now used to describe a situation in which someone ________.
A. cannot open a door B. wants to meet someone
C. wants to drink soup D. is refused by others
45 The passage is mainly about ________ .
A. an ancient beauty named Shi Feng
B how to make “door-closing thick soup”
C. how ancient people refused others
D. the story behind the saying “eating door-closing thick soup”

I am Li Ming. I grew up in the countryside. I learned more useful skills than those who grew up in cities.
The first skill I learned was cooking. My parents often came home late and a prepared meal would help them have dinner soon. So I learned to make dough (生面团) at around 10 years old. It’s difficult. However, it didn’t take too long time for me to find the right way. A year after that, I learned to cook different things like noodles and dumplings. I fell in love with cooking because it’s relaxing. More importantly, thanks to my cooking skill, I live better because I cook every meal instead of ordering online. It saves money.
Besides cooking, I did a lot of farm work in my childhood. I learned to plant vegetables. Though it was hard work, the experience taught me a lot. For example, I learned that the fruit of peanut (花生) grows under the earth. Also, the truth of happiness sometimes comes from learning in person. You’ll treasure (珍惜) everything on your plate.
The useful skills I learned not only improve my independence but also supply a new way to me to look at the world. When I heard students in primary and middle schools have labour (劳动) lessons every week, I was happy. The labour education will help students for the rest of their lives.

Long long ago, a king dressed up and went to a local village. He put a large stone in the middle of the main road and gold coins under the stone. Then he stayed behind a huge tree and watched.
The first person down the street was a milkman with his car. He crashed into the stone and the milk spread all over the ground. “What fool put this stone here?” he shouted. He picked himself up and angrily went away.
The king watched all day, and many people complained about the stone, but he found nobody was pleased to move it. Just then, the king saw a young girl coming along. She was the daughter of a local farmer. She worked all day and was very tired. But when she saw the stone, she said to herself, “This stone is a danger to anyone who comes down the road after dark. I’ll move it out of the way.” After a lot of effort, the girl finally succeeded in moving the stone to the side of the road. Imagine her surprise when she saw the gold coins under the stone!
Just then, the king came out from behind the tree. The king said, “My dear, the gold is mine, but now the gold is yours, because you are the only person that has learned the lesson I want to teach my people. Nothing good can come to a country whose people only expect others to solve problems.”
