It hopes to reduce students’ learning burden (负担) by reducing homework and after-school classes. A few months has passed since the new semester began. How do students feel about this new policy? “Our homework is clearly less than before,” said 13-year-old Shen Yuzhe from Beijing. “We are not encouraged to buy workbooks any more. The exercises are mainly from the textbook.” According to Shen, teachers now teach at a much slower pace (节奏). Students have enough time to process new knowledge. “Our teachers are also giving us more chances to do experiments and learn from life,” said Shen. “For example, we went to research earthworms in a field during a biology class. This is a much better way to learn things than just hitting the books.” For 13-year-old Zhang Hangming from Tianjin, the best thing about “double reduction” is the increased time in after-school activities. “We can now spend more time taking part in clubs and activities, such as dancing, volleyball and drama. I have joined a group called ‘leadership development’ where I can learn all kinds of skills beyond academic (学业的) study,” said Zhang. Both Shen and Zhang find there are fewer exams now. But they think it’s not necessarily a good thing, “Exams push me to study harder. Besides my progress, more importantly, each exam shows my weak points as well,” Zhang said. Shen also pointed out that when burden is lightened, self-discipline (自律) becomes the key. “Some students now spend more time having fun when homework is finished early. But if you use all the free time to relax, you might fall behind the students of your age.” he said. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 71．(2分)What did the 2021 “double reduction” policy aim to do? 72．(2分)According to Shen Yuzhe, which is a better way to learn things? 73．(2分)What’s the best thing about “double reduction” for Zhang? 74．(2分)What can Zhang learn about each exam? 75．(2分)What seems to be more important when students have lighter burden? 七、书面表达（共25分） 76．（本题25分）每个人在旅行中都有很多的收获和不同的体会。某英文网站正在开展主题为“My Favourite Place”的征文活动。请用英语为该网站写一篇短文，谈谈你旅游过的一个你最喜欢的地方，你在那里做了什么，以及最喜欢它的原因。 提示词语：enjoy, taste, beauty, culture, special, unforgettable（难忘的） 提示问题：● What is the favourite place you have been to? ● What did you do there? ●Why is it unforgettable? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 参考答案： 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 B B B B A C A C A B 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 C C A C C B C A B B 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 B B C C D C C C A A 题号 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 答案 B D B A B C A C A B 题号 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 答案 B B C A B C D D B A 题号 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 答案 A B A D D D C A B C 61．best 62．peaceful 63．including 64．owned 65．thousands 66．warmer 67．memories 68．be 69．unbelievable 70．thick 71．To reduce students learning burden. 72．Doing experiments and learning from life. 73．The increased time in after-school activities. 74．His progress and weak points. 75．Self-discipline. 76．例文 My Favourite Place     I have been to many famous places.
