She grew up in the mountains of Liangshan, Sichuan. She first saw the sea in Hainan at eight years old. At that time, she could not swim and was afraid of the water. After learning to swim, her uncle took her to learn sailing (帆船运动). After a few months of sailing, Yang decided to give surfing a try. It didn’t take long for her to start loving this sport. Surfing is just the right sport for Yang because she likes taking on challenges (挑战). Learning surfing was hard and she felt tired, but because she loved it, she didn’t give up. She kept practicing and got to be an excellent surfer. In 2019, Yang made her international debut (国际首秀) at the World Junior Surfing Championships, and then did well at the 2022 World Surfing Games (WSG). At the 2023 WSG, she finished in 31st place out of 130 surfers. This year, she finished the WSG in 15th place out of over 110 surfers and got herself a place in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Surfing has a long history and is popular in countries like Australia, Mexico and South Africa. In those countries, children learn surfing from a very young age. China only set up its national surfing team in 2018. However, surfing has got popular with Chinese young people in the past years. Sichuan is not a place by the sea, but this Sichuan girl shows us how far love and hard work can take a person. Great job, Yang Siqi! 28. What do we know about Yang Siqi from Paragraph 2? A.

How could Yang Siqi get to be an excellent surfer? A She spent a lot of time surfing at a very early age. B. She went to different countries to learn surfing. C. She decided to be an Olympic surfer at eight. D. She loved surfing and worked hard on it. 31. Which is the best title for the passage? A. A young surfing star B. A new sport in China C. The history of surfing D. Best places for surfing D Doing exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. But many people can’t take part in outdoor activities because of the novel coronavirus (新冠病毒). As a result, indoor activities have become an important way for people to keep healthy, especially during a special time like this. These days, the doctors often ask people to exercise indoors to help fight against the novel coronavirus. And ba duanjin, an easy-to-learn qigong exercise, is one of the most popular exercises. After doing the exercise, people may feel like they are wearing a dress made of silk fabric, so it’s also called Eight Pieces ofBrocade (锦缎). Created nearly a thousand years ago, ba duanjin has been practiced for centuries in China. Now, it is almost as popular as Tai chi (太极), especially with the old. The exercise doesn’t need much space or time. As long as people have special breathing and concentration (专注) skills, ba duanjin can help them keep both the body and mind healthy with eight special movements. This kind of qigong is mainly about the breathing. Through deep and slow breathing skills, it will help the muscles (肌肉) to relax and empty the mind of all thoughts. The brain will get a chance to rest, and more oxygen (氧气) will reach. Ba duanjin is helpful to many health problems. What’s more, it can be learned without a teacher. Although people may practice it by following a few pictures and instructions, success really depends on concentration, relaxation and daily practice. 32. The purpose of the writing the first paragraph is ________. A. to tell a story B. to show an opinion C. to give an example D. to introduce the topic 33. It’s ________ for people to learn to practice ba duanjin. A. easy B. tiring C. difficult D. excited 34. ________ may show more interest in practicing ba duanjin. A. The young B. The old C. The rich D. The poor 35. We can infer (推断) from the passage that ________. A. after doing ba duanjin, people need to wear a dress made of silk fabric B. doing ba duanjin takes up a lot of time and money C. ba duanjin helps the muscles (肌肉) to relax and empty the mind of all thoughts D. if people want to learn ba duanjin, they can learn by themselves E As humans, we communicate (交流) by using the senses (感觉) of sight, touch, and hearing. Animals don’t communicate in as many ways as us— for example, they don’t have languages like we do— but many animals do also use the senses of sight, touch, and hearing. A good example of this is elephant communication. Like us, elephants understand each other by looking at each other’s body language. To send a message, they use their whole body, or just their heads, eyes, mouth, ears, trunk, tail, or feet. For example, elephants spread (展开) their ears to show anger. And while people shake (摇晃) their heads to say no, elephants do this to show they are happy. Touch is also very important between elephants. Just like a human mother holds her baby, a mother elephant regularly (有规律地) touches her young baby with her trunk. Elephants also show they are friendly when they touch other elephants. And when they want to have fun, they hold each other by the trunk and pull. Although they can’t laugh like a human, elephants have a great sense of humor. Elephants have very large ears, which means they can hear other elephants from as far as 2. 5 miles away. Like humans, they can also copy sounds and make their own sounds that seem to communicate some human words and phrases like, “Hello” “I love you” and “Let’s go”. So while it’s true that humans are amazing at communication, elephants also communicate in ways that we can’t, and that may be true for other animals, too. The next time your pet dog or cat looks at you, touches you, or makes a noise, maybe it’s trying to tell you something very important! 36. How do elephants show they are happy? A. By using their whole body. B. By spreading their ears. C. By shaking their heads. D. By touching other elephants. 37. According to the passage, what can elephants do? A. They can copy sounds they hear. B. They can speak with words. C. They can laugh like a human. D. They can have languages. 38. Which is the best structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 39. What’s the purpose (目的) of writing the passage? A. To tell why elephants have languages. B. To express how smart elephants are. C. To tell what elephants can do. D. To tell how elephants communicate.

Today, exercise through online videos is becoming very popular. Since the Internet is widely used, it’s very easy for us to do so. That means we can exercise anytime anywhere. One of my friends, Lin Fei, followed short videos to do exercise every day. “With these videos, I feel like exercising with a lot of people, and it’s enjoyable.” she said. Another friend of mine, Michael, told me that exercise videos are more time-saving than gyms(健身房). “With exercise videos, I don’t need to go to the gym. I don’t need to pay for the gyms, either. ” With their examples, I decided to give it a try. When I told my plan to my elder sister Linda, a P.E. teacher, she was a little worried about exercise videos. “Without being with someone in person, you will be lazy to exercise for a long time. Even worse, you may get hurt when you do wrong exercise” my sister said to me. “Well, if you really want to have a try, choose right videos. That’s very important. And then ask your friends for advice. You should try different ways to exercise to be healthy. ” 45.
