Sun believes that life is always full of ups and downs. “Determination and courage can make a good athlete,” she said. “What keeps me going are the goals and dreams I set for myself,”
At the 2023 Singapore Smash, Sun won the women’s singles, the women’s doubles and the mixed doubles, becoming the first athlete to get three gold medals at the tournament (锦标赛). Looking at the world ranking website, you can see Sun’s name at the top of the women’s singles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles.

Travelling is not always happy, at least for the buddies in the movie Green Book. The popular film won Best Picture at the 91st Academy Awards on Feb. 25.
The movie was adapted from the true story of a road trip through the southern US in the early 1960s. In the film, the black pianist Don Shirley hires Italian-American Tony Vallelonga to drive him to performances, but they face problems because of Shirley’s skin colour. These problems lead them to form a special friendship.
“There’s something so deeply right about this movie, so true to the time,” wrote US film critic Mick LaSalle. The time LaSalle is talking about was between late 1870s and 1960s, a very different period in US history. Many parts of the country had Jim Crow Laws (《吉姆·克劳法》), which allowed racial segregation (种族隔离). These laws made life and travel ______ for African-Americans. They couldn’t use certain hotels, restaurants, or even gas stations. They had to be indoors after sunset or they might be put into prison. Even black celebrities (名人) had to follow the laws.
But in 1936, a black mail carrier named Victor H. Green had an idea. He made a list of friendly businesses in New York City. He published the list as a small book with a green cover. The Green Book helped African-Americans travel more safely. Then, in 1964, Jim Crow Laws went away. The book went away, too.
Today many US people still remember the time of Jim Crow. But they probably don’t know about the Green Book. It’s a forgotten part of the story. Thanks to this movie, maybe people can remember it again.
21. What was Don Shirley in the film?
A. A driver. B. A writer. C. A black pianist. D. A black mail carrier.
22. Which word below is the most suitable for the blank (空白)?
A. happy B. easy C. safe D. dangerous
23. What can we know from Paragraph 4?
A. The book is still in use now. B. The list was sold in New York City.
C. A black businessman made the list. D. Victor H. Green came up with the idea.
24. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. The Green Book. B. Jim Crow Laws.
C. Racial segregation. D. The period between 1870s and 1960s.
25. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Jim Crow Laws disappeared in 1936.
B. Black celebrities didn’t need to follow the Jim Crow Laws.
C The Green Book helped African-Americans travel more safely.
D. They met problems during their trip because of Shirley’s bad behaviour.
【答案】21. C 22. D 23. D 24. A 25. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了在第91届奥斯卡颁奖典礼上获得最佳影片奖的电影《绿皮书》的主要情节。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据“the black pianist Don Shirley hires Italian-American Tony Vallelonga to drive him to performances”可知Don Shirley是一个黑人钢琴家。故选C。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据“These laws made life and travel...for African-Americans. They couldn’t use certain hotels, restaurants, or even gas stations.”可知他们不能使用某些酒店、餐馆,甚至加油站,所以他们的生活和旅行更危险,故此处填dangerous。故选D。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据“But in 1936, a black mail carrier named Victor H. Green had an idea. He made a list of friendly businesses in New York City”可知Victor H. Green想出了这个主意。故选D。
【24题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“But they probably don’t know about the Green Book. It’s a forgotten part of the story. Thanks to this movie, maybe people can remember it again.”可知他们可能不知道绿皮书,多亏了这部电影,也许人们可以再次记住它,故此处it指代《绿皮书》。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据“The Green Book helped African-Americans travel more safely.”可知《绿皮书》帮助非洲裔美国人更安全地旅行。故选C。

Young star shines
Over the years, skilled Chinese players have been doing very well in table tennis. Now, young athletes from Generation Z are becoming the stars of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Born in 2000, Sun Yingsha has been given the nickname “Little Devil” by her fans. When she was little, Sun was sensitive to the sound of a table tennis ball hitting the ground. “I felt I had some talent,” she told China Daily.
When Sun first joined the reserve squad (预备队) of the national table tennis team, she was excited. Becoming a world top player like her idol Zhang Yining has always been her dream.
However, there have been challenges along the way. She took part in the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and it was there that she faced huge losses. “I was not well-rounded enough to win the gold medal in the women’s singles,” Sun said.
Sun believes that life is always full of ups and downs. “Determination and courage can make a good athlete,” she said. “What keeps me going are the goals and dreams I set for myself,”
At the 2023 Singapore Smash, Sun won the women’s singles, the women’s doubles and the mixed doubles, becoming the first athlete to get three gold medals at the tournament (锦标赛). Looking at the world ranking website, you can see Sun’s name at the top of the women’s singles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles.

Do you have any online classes? It is possible to take classes at home. All you need is a computer and a headset.
However, most students don’t seem to like online classes. According to a recent survey, only 33 percent of the students would take such classes. Over 1,500 students from 10 cities took part in the survey.
Many students said it was hard to focus on studying while taking online classes. This was true for Kate, 15, at the High School of Peking University. “There are no classmates and no real teachers watching me. I can surf the Internet or do other things if I want to. It’s harder to always stay focused,” she said.
Kate prepares a lot before taking her classes to make sure she will keep her attention. She also pushes herself to communicate with teachers. Students can come up with or answer questions while taking online classes.
Joice, 14, at Yucai Middle School, thinks online interaction (互动) isn’t enough. “The online teachers don’t really get to know me. When I don’t hand in homework, all I get is a short message instead of real concern (关心),” she said.
However, online classes still have advantages. “It saves time and money compared with taking offline classes. Also, if I don’t understand some parts of a lesson, I can watch it over again,” Kate said.
16. If you have online classes you need ________.
A. your parents’ support B. your teacher’s help
C. a computer and a headset D. enough money
17. Many students think ________.
A. it is impossible to take online classes at home
B. it’s hard to focus on studying while taking online classes
C. they have to prepare a lot before taking online classes
D. they can’t communicate with the teachers online
18. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A Kate thinks it easy to always stay focused.
B. Joice is a student from a high school in Beijing.
C. Kate thinks that online interaction isn’t enough.
D. Kate pushes herself to communicate with teachers in online classes.
19. What does the underlined word “offline” in last paragraph mean?
A. After-school. B. Online. C. Out of network. D. Night.
20. What is the passage mainly about?
A. What the students think of online classes.
B. How the students take online classes at home.

D. Why the students like taking online classes.

Travelling is not always happy, at least for the buddies in the movie Green Book. The popular film won Best Picture at the 91st Academy Awards on Feb. 25.
The movie was adapted from the true story of a road trip through the southern US in the early 1960s. In the film, the black pianist Don Shirley hires Italian-American Tony Vallelonga to drive him to performances, but they face problems because of Shirley’s skin colour. These problems lead them to form a special friendship.
“There’s something so deeply right about this movie, so true to the time,” wrote US film critic Mick LaSalle. The time LaSalle is talking about was between late 1870s and 1960s, a very different period in US history. Many parts of the country had Jim Crow Laws (《吉姆·克劳法》), which allowed racial segregation (种族隔离). These laws made life and travel ______ for African-Americans. They couldn’t use certain hotels, restaurants, or even gas stations. They had to be indoors after sunset or they might be put into prison. Even black celebrities (名人) had to follow the laws.
But in 1936, a black mail carrier named Victor H. Green had an idea. He made a list of friendly businesses in New York City. He published the list as a small book with a green cover. The Green Book helped African-Americans travel more safely. Then, in 1964, Jim Crow Laws went away. The book went away, too.
Today many US people still remember the time of Jim Crow. But they probably don’t know about the Green Book. It’s a forgotten part of the story. Thanks to this movie, maybe people can remember it again.
21. What was Don Shirley in the film?
A. A driver. B. A writer. C. A black pianist. D. A black mail carrier.
22. Which word below is the most suitable for the blank (空白)?
A. happy B. easy C. safe D. dangerous
23. What can we know from Paragraph 4?
A. The book is still in use now. B. The list was sold in New York City.
C. A black businessman made the list. D. Victor H. Green came up with the idea.
24. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. The Green Book. B. Jim Crow Laws.
C. Racial segregation. D. The period between 1870s and 1960s.
25. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Jim Crow Laws disappeared in 1936.
B. Black celebrities didn’t need to follow the Jim Crow Laws.
C. The Green Book helped African-Americans travel more safely.
D. They met problems during their trip because of Shirley’s bad behaviour.
