The medals of Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games are named Tongxin, meaning “Together as one” in Chinese. The idea comes from yu bi, a piece of ancient Chinese jade (玉) with circles that have the same center. The front side of the medals has the five Olympic rings in the center with five big rings all around. Between the first and second rings are the words “XXIV Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022”. The cloud shapes are used to continue a cultural connection with the 2008 Games, while the snow and ice markings are the symbols of the Winter Olympics. On the back of each medal, the logo of the Beijing 2022 Games is in the center with the full Chinese name of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games around it. There are 24 points of star on the circles, carrying the anticipation that the sports players achieve success and shine like stars at the Beijing 2022 Games. The medal ribbons (挂带) are made of silk. Their red color stands for good luck in Chinese culture and it can also express warm wishes to players as the Games began during the Spring Festival holiday. The medal boxes are made of bamboo, following the idea of green Olympics. From May 2020 to July 2021, Hang Hai headed the design of the medals. “The medals are the result of many people’s efforts. However, the smiles on the winners’ faces as they wear them make it worth our while,” Hang said. “And I wish, as time goes by, people will still be able to see their beauty.” 56.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了冬奥会奖牌的设计理念和样式。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The cloud shapes are used to continue a cultural connection with the 2008 Games”可知，北京2008年奥运会和2022年奥运会通过奖牌上的云朵形状在文化上联系在一起。故选C。 【57题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“There are 24 points of star on the circles, carrying the anticipation that the sports players achieve success and shine like stars at the Beijing 2022 Games.”可知，圆圈上有24个星星点，承载着运动员在北京2022年奥运会上取得成功，并像星星一样闪耀的期望；可推测出“anticipation”意为“期望”，与“hope”意思相近。故选A。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The medal boxes are made of bamboo, following the idea of green Olympics.”可知，奖牌盒由竹子制成，遵循“绿色办奥”的理念。故选B。 【59题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However, the smiles on the winners’ faces as they wear them make it worth our while”可知，当获奖者戴上奖牌时，他们脸上的笑容让“我们”觉得这是值得的；可推断出获胜者会对奖牌很满意。故选C。 60题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，这篇文章的目的是介绍奖牌和它背后的文化含义。故选D。 C 配对阅读。左栏是五位外国友人的信息，右栏是中国著名乡村旅游景点的简介。请为每个人选择一个合适的乡村景点。 ____61____ Adam shows great interest in Chinese buildings.

Starting from the early years, teachers will always give them something to do after school. But have you ever wondered who invented homework and why? A deep search of homework history dates back to Ancient Rome. It’s said that around the 1st Century AD, a young teacher named Pliny, invented homework. Pliny asked his students to do at-­home activities to improve their speaking skills. Another person who played an important role in the invention of homework is Horace Mann. He brought the idea of homework from Germany to America in the 19th century. Later, the idea spread to other places of the world. He was thought to be “Father of Modern Homework”． Homework was once used as a punishment for students. As education develops, people begin to make good use of homework as a learning tool. Usually, when students go back home from school, they might quickly forget what their teachers have taught in class. So, homework is used to improve learning. Another purpose of homework is to encourage the students to manage their own after­-school time. Besides, in order to get better scores, one must have proper knowledge about the subjects. The homework encourages students to practice the lessons. Although no one exactly looks forward to doing homework, it is a necessary and important task that you can’t refuse. So face it bravely and get it done efficiently (高效地). 76. When did Pliny invent homework? ________________ 77. Where did Horace Mann get the idea of homework? ________________ 78.

The front side of the medals has the five Olympic rings in the center, with five big rings all around. Between the first and second rings are the words “XXIV Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022”.

On the back of each medal, the logo of the Beijing 2022 Games is in the center with the full Chinese name of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games around it. There are 24 points of star on the circles, carrying the anticipation that the sports players achieve success and shine like stars at the Beijing 2022 Games. The medal ribbons (挂带) are made of silk. Their red color stands for good luck in Chinese culture and it can also express warm wishes to players as the Games began during the Spring Festival holiday. The medal boxes are made of bamboo, following the idea of green Olympics. From May 2020 to July 2021, Hang Hai headed the design of the medals. “The medals are the result of many people’s efforts. However, the smiles on the winners’ faces as they wear them make it worth our while,” Hang said. “And I wish, as time goes by, people will still be able to see their beauty.” 56.

Usually, when students go back home from school, they might quickly forget what their teachers have taught in class. So, homework is used to improve learning. Another purpose of homework is to encourage the students to manage their own after­-school time. Besides, in order to get better scores, one must have proper knowledge about the subjects. The homework encourages students to practice the lessons. Although no one exactly looks forward to doing homework, it is a necessary and important task that you can’t refuse. So face it bravely and get it done efficiently (高效地). 76. When did Pliny invent homework? ________________ 77. Where did Horace Mann get the idea of homework? ________________ 78.
