It could be turned into a pop-up igloo (圆顶小屋). The origami (折纸) cover could stop snow and use it to protect people inside. The team got ideas from polar bears. Polar bears live in the Arctic (北极). The fat bodies help them keep heat (热) under their skin (皮肤) to fight against the cold in the Arctic. They have two kinds of fur that can keep them warm—the long guard (保护) hair and the short insulating (起隔热作用的) hair. The long guard hair brings heat close to the skin. And the insulating hair keeps heat close to the skin. In the same way, the special material on the inside of the origami cover gives the heat into the space, keeping people inside the tent warm. During tests in Alaska, the team showed that with up to 15 inches of snow, the igloo could keep a nearly 37℃ difference between the inside and outside, while a usual winter tent can only offer a 13℃ difference. And the team also said the tent is very strong and that it can carry a heavy person standing on top. In the future, the tent would be put along hiking ways. 39.

Tom was interested in raising money for homeless children but he was not brave enough to talk to the strangers, so he kept quiet in his seat. “Tom, you haven’t sold handiwork before,” said Miss King suddenly. “Would you like to have a try?” Tom was hesitant (犹豫的), but he finally nodded. On Saturday, Tom and Angela sold colourful flags they made in a busy street. “Excuse me. Could you please buy...?” said Angela softly to the first person she met. The man smiled and put two-dollar coin into Angela’s collection bag. Then she said thanks and passed a flag to the passerby. “I did it!” said Angela happily. “It’s your turn now.” Feeling nervous, Tom began to shake. Soon, he saw a young lady walking towards him. The lady was smiling and holding a few coins in her hand. She asked, “Are you selling flags for Fund for the Homeless Children?” Tom’s face became red and said yes. Then the lady made the donation and Tom gave her a flag. “You made it!” laughed Angela. In the next couple of hours, Angela and Tom sold these flags quickly and bravely.

Mike, the USA When I first arrived in China, I could only say some greeting words like “ni hao”. But as time went by, I could speak Chinese well. Learning Chinese is not easy, but it is fun and makes my life easier. Chinese is usually literal (字面意义的). For example, “elevator” is “dian ti”. It means “electric stairs”. But there’re also lots of strange words, such as “dong xi”. “Dong xi” doesn’t mean “east west” but means “things”. So when you want to say “I’m going to buy things”, you’d say “qu mai dong xi”. Alex, the UK At the age of 13, I started taking Chinese classes at school. It was difficult to learn at first. But when I arrived in China in 2021, I found that learning it could be enjoyable. After I moved to Beijing, I lived with the locals. As a language lover, I would try to talk with them in Chinese, sharing our daily lives. Sometimes we would also go to KTV together. KTV is a place where I could put myself in the Chinese language and culture. As I sang with Chinese speakers, I learnt Chinese quickly. Jennifer, the USA I started learning Chinese at the age of 5. After six years of learning, I could still hardly put a sentence together. But I never gave up. To improve my Chinese, I moved to Beijing in high school. Each day we had listening, speaking, reading and writing classes. Even gym and music classes were in Chinese. So I learned Chinese quite well. It took me a long time to learn Chinese, but once I could speak it well, chances came. Many people wanted me to work for them. At that moment, I knew it was worth it. 50. What might Mike speak when he first came to China? A. Dian ti. B. Xie xie. C. Zuo che. D. Dong xi. 51. How did Alex learn Chinese? ①By talking with Chinese speakers. ②By singing Chinese songs. ③By taking Chinese classes. ④By moving to China at high school. A. ②③④ B. ①③④ C. ①②④ D. ①②③ 52. Which of the following is TRUE? A. All the three learners are in Beijing, China. B. Alex started learning Chinese at the age of eleven. C. Mike thinks all the Chinese words are quite literal. D. Jennifer got many job chances because she could speak Chinese well. 【答案】50. B 51. D 52. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了Mike、Alex和Jennifer三位中文学习者的语言学习经历。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When I first arrived in China, I could only say some greeting words like ‘ni hao’.”可知，当Mike首次来到中国时，他能说一些问候语，比如“你好”。选项B“Xie xie”也是常用的问候语，意为“谢谢”。故选B。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据“At the age of 13, I started taking Chinese classes at school.”，“As a language lover, I would try to talk with them in Chinese, sharing our daily lives.”和“Sometimes we would also go to KTV together. ”可知，Alex通过上中文课、和中国人交谈以及唱中文歌来学习汉语。故选D。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It took me a long time to learn Chinese, but once I could speak it well, chances came. Many people wanted me to work for them. At that moment, I knew it was worth it.”可知，Jennifer因为中文说得好获得了许多工作机会，这让她觉得学习汉语是值得的。故选D。 第二节 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）。 F Last week we went on a school trip to a science museum. Ms. Liu, the guide, showed us around a smart home. We started with the front door. Ms. Liu asked me to ring the doorbell. I didn’t notice the tiny camera that was fixed just above it. After I pressed (按) the doorbell, the camera sent a live video (视频直播) to the home-owners. “They can electronically open the door when they are not at home,” said Ms. Liu. The other thing I couldn’t see on the door was a lock. “There must be one,” I thought. At this time, Ms. Liu took out a smart phone and put it against the door. And it opened. “Oh, the key is on the smart phone.” After entering the living room, I saw a computer on a table. By using the computer, the owners can control how much energy is used. In this way, they can manage their living cost. One of the rooms I wanted to see most was the bedroom. To my great surprise, the bed disappeared into the floor at the touch of the smart phone. The window has a smart blind (百叶窗). It can be raised and lowered with a voice. As I left the smart home, I looked back on what I had just seen. Scientists often say that these products are improving our life. I think the technology in the smart home may make us lazier. However, there is no doubt that it will become more popular in the homes of tomorrow. 53. Where is the key to the door?（不超过10个词） _____________________________________________________________________________________ 54.

Because it makes our life easier. 第四部分 写（共两大题，满分25分） Ⅸ. 单词拼写（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 根据首字母及汉语提示，完成下列单词的拼写，使句意明确，语言通顺。 56.

Are you familiar with them? Do you know the meaning of each dish? Celebrate Spring Festival with a Lucky New Year’s Eve Dinner! Deep-fried fish in sweet and sour sauce The Chinese word for fish is “鱼” which sounds the same as “余”, showing plenty of food. So the dish means a surplus (盈余) of food. Chinese dumplings Chinese dumplings are also called jiaozi. The shape of jiaozi is also similar to the money used in ancient China. So it is believed that they will bring wealth. Eight treasure porridge Eight kinds of ingredients (配料) in this pudding stand for good luck and happiness. It also looks like a treasure bowl, which can get luck together. Four joy meatballs The four meatballs in this dish stand for four joys in life: blessing (祝福), wealth, longevity (长寿) and happiness. The round shape is also a symbol of getting together, for happiness in the new year. Chinese festival dishes are always rich and colorful. 36. When do we Chinese usually eat these dishes according to the text? A. On National Day. B. On Double-ninth Day. C. On Dragon Boat Festival. D. On Spring Festival. 37.

We usually eat Chinese dumplings on Mid-Autumn Festival. B. Deep-fried fish in sweet and sour sauce is always hard to eat. C. Spring Festival dishes in China have special cultural meanings. D. We all should always be familiar with Chinese national culture. B A team of students developed a special tent. It could be turned into a pop-up igloo (圆顶小屋). The origami (折纸) cover could stop snow and use it to protect people inside. The team got ideas from polar bears. Polar bears live in the Arctic (北极). The fat bodies help them keep heat (热) under their skin (皮肤) to fight against the cold in the Arctic. They have two kinds of fur that can keep them warm—the long guard (保护) hair and the short insulating (起隔热作用的) hair. The long guard hair brings heat close to the skin. And the insulating hair keeps heat close to the skin. In the same way, the special material on the inside of the origami cover gives the heat into the space, keeping people inside the tent warm. During tests in Alaska, the team showed that with up to 15 inches of snow, the igloo could keep a nearly 37℃ difference between the inside and outside, while a usual winter tent can only offer a 13℃ difference. And the team also said the tent is very strong and that it can carry a heavy person standing on top. In the future, the tent would be put along hiking ways. 39.

A pop-up igloo came into use C Li Na is a middle school student. Last term, while she was watching a clothing show on TV, a kind of traditional clothes called hanfu caught her eye. How she wished to have her own hanfu! She told her mother that she wanted one. Her mom thought for a while and said, “You can have one if you make progress by the end of this term.” She felt disappointed（失望的）but decided to make it. After that, she studied harder than before. Whenever she faced difficulties, she tried her best to solve them. Sometimes she thought about giving up, but she fought on. Then, in the final exam, she made great progress. And her mom was happy with her. Finally, the “big” day came. When she got home one afternoon, she saw a beautiful big box on the table: “Wow, hanfu!” Her wish came true. On a sunny Saturday, Li Na wore her own hanfu to a park with her family. There, a lot of people were attracted by her clothes including some foreign children. Li Na introduced hanfu to them proudly. She told them that hanfu—a symbol of Chinese culture, is getting more and more popular. That day, she enjoyed the beauty of hanfu and experienced the traditional culture. Looking back at the past days, she thinks she has got a lot more than the new clothes. Whenever she sees hanfu, it reminds her that hard work can help people get what they want. 43.

We will sell some handiwork (手工制品) to raise money for Fund for the Homeless Children. Does anyone want to join in the event?” asked Miss King. Tom was interested in raising money for homeless children but he was not brave enough to talk to the strangers, so he kept quiet in his seat. “Tom, you haven’t sold handiwork before,” said Miss King suddenly. “Would you like to have a try?” Tom was hesitant (犹豫的), but he finally nodded. On Saturday, Tom and Angela sold colourful flags they made in a busy street. “Excuse me. Could you please buy...?” said Angela softly to the first person she met. The man smiled and put two-dollar coin into Angela’s collection bag. Then she said thanks and passed a flag to the passerby. “I did it!” said Angela happily. “It’s your turn now.” Feeling nervous, Tom began to shake. Soon, he saw a young lady walking towards him. The lady was smiling and holding a few coins in her hand. She asked, “Are you selling flags for Fund for the Homeless Children?” Tom’s face became red and said yes. Then the lady made the donation and Tom gave her a flag. “You made it!” laughed Angela. In the next couple of hours, Angela and Tom sold these flags quickly and bravely.

Now let’s listen to the stories of the three Chinese learners. Mike, the USA When I first arrived in China, I could only say some greeting words like “ni hao”. But as time went by, I could speak Chinese well. Learning Chinese is not easy, but it is fun and makes my life easier. Chinese is usually literal (字面意义的). For example, “elevator” is “dian ti”. It means “electric stairs”. But there’re also lots of strange words, such as “dong xi”. “Dong xi” doesn’t mean “east west” but means “things”. So when you want to say “I’m going to buy things”, you’d say “qu mai dong xi”. Alex, the UK At the age of 13, I started taking Chinese classes at school. It was difficult to learn at first. But when I arrived in China in 2021, I found that learning it could be enjoyable. After I moved to Beijing, I lived with the locals. As a language lover, I would try to talk with them in Chinese, sharing our daily lives. Sometimes we would also go to KTV together. KTV is a place where I could put myself in the Chinese language and culture. As I sang with Chinese speakers, I learnt Chinese quickly. Jennifer, the USA I started learning Chinese at the age of 5. After six years of learning, I could still hardly put a sentence together. But I never gave up. To improve my Chinese, I moved to Beijing in high school. Each day we had listening, speaking, reading and writing classes. Even gym and music classes were in Chinese. So I learned Chinese quite well. It took me a long time to learn Chinese, but once I could speak it well, chances came. Many people wanted me to work for them. At that moment, I knew it was worth it. 50.

Ms. Liu, the guide, showed us around a smart home. We started with the front door. Ms. Liu asked me to ring the doorbell. I didn’t notice the tiny camera that was fixed just above it. After I pressed (按) the doorbell, the camera sent a live video (视频直播) to the home-owners. “They can electronically open the door when they are not at home,” said Ms. Liu. The other thing I couldn’t see on the door was a lock. “There must be one,” I thought. At this time, Ms. Liu took out a smart phone and put it against the door. And it opened. “Oh, the key is on the smart phone.” After entering the living room, I saw a computer on a table. By using the computer, the owners can control how much energy is used. In this way, they can manage their living cost. One of the rooms I wanted to see most was the bedroom. To my great surprise, the bed disappeared into the floor at the touch of the smart phone. The window has a smart blind (百叶窗). It can be raised and lowered with a voice. As I left the smart home, I looked back on what I had just seen. Scientists often say that these products are improving our life. I think the technology in the smart home may make us lazier. However, there is no doubt that it will become more popular in the homes of tomorrow. 53.
