B “Guangzhou has become so much more modern,” said Julia Onbashi, a 34-year-old from Russia. She returned to Guangzhou after 10 years, thanks to the 14-hour visa-free transit (中转) policy. From Dec 5 to 7, 2023, Onbashi traveled from Cyprus to the Philippines to spend the winter. She made a stop in Guangzhou. “It was a great opportunity to see a country instead of just sitting in the airport during the stop,” Onbashi said. After Onbashi and her husband arrived in Guangzhou, they had their first surprise: the Guangzhou subway app. The last time she visited Guangzhou, there was no such app. She had to look at maps to find out her way. “The app was super user-friendly. We had no trouble traveling by subway,” said Onbashi. While walking on Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street at night, Onbashi was surprised by how modern the city has become. “It felt like being in the future with all the electronic shop signs and electric cars everywhere,” she said. Years back, few electric cars could be seen on the road. “I felt completely safe, even though it was late at night,” Onbashi added. She also saw many local girls walking alone, confirming (证实) her thoughts. “It was a wonderful atmesphere (氛围)!” Welcomed by this sense of safety, she spent lots of time trying different kinds of night market food. Onbashi described her trip as “smooth and easy”. “China is a great place to explore (探索),” she said. She believes that some people are still unsure about traveling to China because they don’t know what the real China looks like. This may be because the foreign media is not showing the full picture. 31. Why did Onbashi return to Guangzhou after ten years? A. To see how the city has changed. B. Because of the visa-free transit policy. C. To avoid waiting at the airport. D. Because she missed Chinese food. 32. How did Onbashi feel about using the Guangzhou subway app? A. Funny. B. Nervous. C. Pleased. D. Uneasy. 33. Why does Onbashi mention (提到) the local girls walking alone at night in Paragraph 5? A. To show the modern Guangzhou. B. To show the delicious night market food. C. To show the safe atmosphere in Guangzhou. D. To show the exciting atmosphere in Guangzhou. 34. What can we learn from the passage? A. It’s Onbashi’s first time to come to Guangzhou. B. Onbashi thought her trip in China was enjoyable. C. Onbashi felt uncomfortable when exploring at night. D. The foreign media shows the whole picture of China. 35. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? (Para.1=①; Para.2=②; Para.3=③; Para.4=④); Para.5=⑤; Para.6=⑥) A. ①/②③/④⑤⑥ B. ①②/③④/⑤⑥ C. ①②③/④⑤/⑥ D. ①②/③④⑤/⑥ C Does the university (大学) you attend or the major (专业) you choose decide your success in the future? According to a recent survey, 48.6% of the people believe that the university plays an important role in shaping their future. But 33.8% of people think one’s major is more important. Fu Xi is a student at Peking University, one of the top universities in China. He thinks his university does bring many unseen advantages. “If I had no academic (学术的) training or experiences of clubs in college, I wouldn’t have successfully got my first internship (实习) in a leading bank,” Fu told the reporter from China Youth Daily. As for him, students could improve their abilities through internships or academic activities to make themselves ready for a job or further studies, no matter which major they choose. However Chen Yufei, 20 years old, who studies Japanese at Tianjin University, doesn’t think so. ______ After getting lower scores than expected in Gaokao, Chen lost the chance to study her favorite major—Chinese. “Having no interest in Japanese, I felt unhappy when taking Japanese classes in the first year,” Chen said. Later, she had problems in finding her dream job. “Different majors will bring about different jobs. They will influence how much money you make,” Chen added. She thinks that even students who major in Japanese at famous universities will most probably make less money than those who major in computer science. “Both the university and one’s major are important, but they don’t necessarily decide your life,” said Chu Zhaohui, a professional researcher of the National Institute of Education Sciences. “For students, personal development is influenced by their performance in the university,” Chu added. 36. What can we know from Paragraph 2? A. Fu Xi is really thankful to his university. B. Fu Xi doesn’t enjoy working in a leading bank. C. Fu Xi can succeed, no matter what university he chooses. D. Fu Xi dislikes his major, but he tries to improve his abilities. 37. Which of the following is the most suitable for ________. A. She believes whatever your major is, you must study hard. B. She believes she should study computer science instead of Japanese. C. She believes both university and major are the key to one’s success. D. She believes that a right major is more important than a good university. 38. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to? A Different jobs. B. Different interests. C. Different majors. D. Different universities. 39. Why are Chu Zhaohui’s words mentioned (提到) in the last paragraph? A. To show what students think about the survey is right. B. To teach students how to choose a good major and university. C. To tell students that one’s future depends on his major and university. D. To advise students to pay more attention to what they do in the university. 40. How does the writer develop the whole passage? A. By telling stories. B. By sharing opinions. C. By raising questions. D. By listing numbers. D The Zeng Houyi Chime Bells were found from the Zeng Houyi Tomb in Suizhou, Hubei Province in 1978. They are historically important treasure of China. The Zeng Houyi Chime Bells are hung (悬挂) at three levels and are divided into (划分为) eight groups. There are 19 bells in three groups at the top level, 33 bells in three groups at the middle level and 12 bells in two groups at the bottom level. In addition, there is a single and much larger bell used to change pitch (音高). The bells in each row are different from one another in shape and size. The Zeng Houyi Chime Bells are hung on two sets of wood racks (架子). One rack is 7.48 meters long and 2.65 meters wide. The other rack is 3.35 meters long and 2.73 meters wide. The two racks are perpendicular to each other, and they make an angle of ninety degrees. The Zeng Houyi Chime Bells weigh a total of 5 tons. The biggest bell is of 153.4 cm in height and 203.6 kg in weight while the smallest bell is of 20.4 cm in height and 2.4 kg in weight. Five musicians were needed to play the instrument in the past. These bells are sounded by striking. Because of their shape, each bell could produce two different pitches, one if struck at the side, the other at the center. The whole set of chime bells is able to produce all the pitches of a modern piano. There are more than 2,800 Chinese characters about music and the making of the instrument on the bells. Instruments of such a level were quite uncommon in the world at the time. 41. The number of the whole set of chime bells is ________. A. 45. B. 52 C. 64 D. 65 42.
