But actually in China, pennants, featuring gold characters on red velvet(丝绒), are symbols of honor and respect with ancient roots. In ancient China generals used flags to command their armies. Commanders rewarded soldiers with flags for acts of bravery. However, during the Song Dynasty, society favored scholars over generals. The Song emperors began to reward excellent scholars with jinqi. Since then, pennants have become a symbol of recognition for people's achievements. Nowadays, walls decorated with jinqi from patients are a common sight in Chinese hospitals. Such displays are also seen in police stations and even schools. While there are many other common ways to express thanks, like giving gifts and red envelopes, pennants are regarded more noble. People can also write thank- you letters but the language used may be improper. Words on jingi, however, follow a set pattern, which are always acceptable. The popularity of jinqi is also because of their prices. A young woman named Tina bought her pennant for only 30 yuan. On Taobao, even the high- end jinqi cost less than300 yuan. What people write on jingi has gradually changed over the years, especially when younger generations are adopting the trend.“ The content has become more informal,” says Zhang, a pennant maker. A Vlog in 2023 showed a young patient presenting her eye doctor with a pennant with a single number“6”— Internet slang for“ awesome.” The doctor accepted the pennant with a broad smile. Clearly, he was amused by its modern content. 11. Why was a red pennant sent to the British rock band? A To wish them a successful concert. B. To praise them for their good work. C. To express their fans' love for them. D. To show their fans' honor and respect. 12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The origin of jingi. B. Legends about jingqi. C. When jingi became widely used in China. D. How jingi became symbols of honor and respect. 13. What are the reasons why sending jinqi is popular in China? ① It doesn't cost a lot of money ② It is considered to be more noble. ③ The content of jingi is usually proper. ④ It is the most sincere expression of thanks. A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D ②③④ 14. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. People no longer feel honored to receive jingi nowadays. B. Sending jinqi with formal content is considered out of date. C. The young have brought new life to the tradition of giving jingi. D. The tradition of giving jingi has been changed by pennant makers. 15. In which column of the newspaper can you probably read the text? A. History B. Culture C. Education D. Entertainment B Last winter in the Bestseller Corner, my daughter Claire was attracted to the cover of the first book from Peter Brown's trilogy(三部曲). Claire then finished it in just two days.“ Dad, why did The Wild Robot have to be so sad?” she asked me with tearful eyes. The novel takes place on a remote island, where a robot named Roz learns to survive and live with the local wildlife. For Claire, it was the first book to impact(冲击) her with the mix of sadness and joy. After reading the book,I understood why Claire loved it. In our book club discussion, when talking about the last scene, where Roz has to leave the island to find repairs for her broken body, Claire cried again. Her previous reading experience always had cheerful endings, but this book introduced her to the beauty of complex emotions. I tried to explain how sadness can enhance the meaning of happy moments, but I couldn't fully convince her. Once our discussion ended, Claire asked to buy The Wild Robot Escapes, and soon fell in love with it. She read the two books repeatedly, and you can imagine her excitement when we finally got a copy of The Wild Robot Protects. It was worth the wait. Roz leaves the island again to stop an underwater threat: the poison tide. Brown wisely balances exciting adventures and worrisome ideas— not just happiness and sadness, but also hope and despair. Roz's story reflects the challenges of surviving in a strange place, much like a child's journey. Readers love Roz, learning from her experiences and, more importantly, learning with her. Roz gave Claire the power to push through the first book's sad parts, getting her ready to appreciate that, sometimes, sadness isn't a bad thing to feel. 16. How did Claire feel about The Wild Robot? A. She hardly understood it. B. She enjoyed it very much. C. She was not interested in it. D. She was disappointed at it. 17. What probably made the author read The Wild Robot? A. Its great popularity. B. Its attractive cover. C. Claire's strong recommendation. D. Claire's emotional response to it. 18. What does the underlined word complex in paragraph 3 mean? A. mixed B. strong C. heartfelt D. amazed 19. What does It refer to in paragraph 5? A. Roz the robot. B. Claire's excitement. C. Their discussion. D. A copy of the third book. 20. Which message does the text probably convey? A. Misfortune inspires great works. B. Reading books helps people grow. C. Robot stories work like magic on kids. D. Book discussion is a good way to learn. C When we think about scientific achievement, geniuses like Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton always come to mind. These people are often obsessed by their subjects of interest, choosing their fields of specialty at an early age. But is this always the case? In fact, many of the most important discoveries come from a different kind of mind. Charles Darwin was an aspiring geologist when he sailed to observe faraway lands. He had little knowledge in biology but through his travels, keen observations and great curiosity, he developed the theory of evolution by natural selection. Another such great discovery was the invention of PCR(聚合酶链反应), which is essential for certain kinds of genetic research. Its inventor, Kary Mullis, barely earned a Ph. D in biochemistry. His time was spent writing fiction and running a bakery until a friend found him a job in biotechnology, where his great idea for PCR was born. Darwin and Mullis were both natural explorers. Darwin did poorly in school but was always curious about the animals and plants. As a child, Mullis was more interested in the spiders in his grandparents' basement than anything else. It may not be surprising that these creative minds developed through play and exploration. Many educators argue that the classic model of education, in which teachers lecture and students memorize, is misguided. Most children are born with the drive to play and explore, which helps develop important skills. Probably the thinking skills Darwin and Mullis got were developed through this kind of play and exploration. So, what are schools supposed to do today? They should allow our children to step out of the classroom, and encourage them to play and try new things. As Ni Minjing, head of the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, once said,“ Every piece of soil, every flower and every clear night sky is a playground for scientific curiosity.” 21. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic. B. To explain the purpose. C. To attract the readers' attention. D. To give background information. 22 Which of the following is true about Darwin and Mullis? A. Darwin was a sharp and curious observer. B. Mullis earned his Ph. D without difficulty. C. Mullis got the idea for PCR while working at a bakery. D. Darwin was a great biologist when he began his voyages. 23. What is the main contrast between“ Einstein and Newton” and“ Darwin and Mullis”? A. The former group was more focused on formal education. B. The latter group had a more non- traditional path to discovery. C. The latter group started their fields of specialty at an early age. D. The former group was more successful in scientific achievements. 24. Which of the following shows the structure of the text? 25. Which is the best title of the text? A. The Focused Early Years of Geniuses B. The Success of Non- traditional Teaching C. Unexpected Geniuses: The Power of Curiosity D. Beyond the Classroom: The Importance of Play 第二节 阅读下面短文，并从方框里的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文的意思完整、连贯。(共5小题，每小题2分) A. Saying no is a skill but so is saying yes. B. It's possible to overextend oneself in terms of social connections. C. Meet more new people to learn from a wide variety of experiences. D. My dad has pointed out that I do better when in a challenging situation. E. And when you do find opportunity, don't pass it by because of laziness. F. However, sometimes, we get too focused on our work and forget to enjoy ourselves. An old friend of mine advises me to say NO more often so I can concentrate on what matters most. Personally, I' ve benefited a lot from his advice. 26 I' ve noticed a few areas where people hesitate to say yes. Here's what I suggest you say YES to: Say yes to challenge. It's common to doubt your ability to handle more. Why increase the challenges you' re already facing? Though there are a few challenges you might have good reason to say no to, say yes to the challenges that help you grow. 27 Challenge can bring out the best in you. Say yes to fun. It's true that too much fun can be silly. 28 Actually, you can work with a positive attitude, which can turn any situation into a fun one. Say yes to better relationships. 29 If you are continually connecting with new people, you will give too little attention to the relationships you already have. Improving relationships that matter to you is always something good to say yes to. Say yes to opportunity. Put yourself in the place of maximum opportunity. Sometimes opportunity finds you but more often than not, you have to search for it. 30 第三节 信息匹配 下面的材料A~F 分别介绍了六种不同的运动,请根据 Simon, John, Ben, Lily, Karen五个人的需求选出最适合他们的运动。 (共5 小题， 每小题1.5分) A.

Decorating the walls with some English quotes or famous writers' portraits can create a good English - learning atmosphere.

I hope the English reading room can be built as soon as possible to serve the students. Yours, Li Hui 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
