An exhibition of paintings of ancient Chinese characters was held on July 13 in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, with the aim of promoting people-to-people and cultural exchanges. Based on the classic I Ching or The Book of Changes (《易经》), the display brought together the art of Ethiopia’s Dawit Muluneh and famous calligrapher Wu Jiuyi, who produced examples of calligraphy on the spot.
Speaking at the event, its organizer Gossa Oda says the exhibition was an opportunity to showcase cultural commonalities and shared knowledge between the two countries. “In organizing this exhibition, I wanted to communicate the ancient mystery of I Ching, which helps improve connectivity between Ethiopia and China and promote their shared future. A shared future starts from shared knowledge,” says Oda, who is also the owner of the Medemer Africa Art and Sculpture Space, where the 64 paintings are housed.
Oda says such an exhibition would strengthen people-to-people ties and cultural exchanges, stressing the importance of knowledge and civilizations for human development.
The paintings describe the 64 divinatory (占卜的) symbols found in I Ching, which represent the day-to-day interaction between man and nature. “They are meant to share knowledge and feelings with visitors, and descriptions are written in Chinese, English and Amharic.” says Muluneh, who painted all 64 paintings in a year. He says the exhibition can be considered a stepping stone to promote cultural exchange and create mutual situations for common development between the peoples of China and Ethiopia.
“The backgrounds of the paintings make use of Ethiopian styles and express the ideas of heaven, harvest, and relief, among others,” says Muluneh, who drew similarities and absorbed essential parts from the traditional arts of both countries.
In an interview, Wu says that he was taken by surprise when he saw an Ethiopian artist painting Chinese characters. The exhibition attracted members of the Chinese community in Addis Ababa, Ethiopian artists and painters, and school children.
8. What’s the main purpose of the exhibition held in Addis Ababa?
A. To promote Ethiopian art globally.
B. To introduce the I Ching to Ethiopians.
C. To promote cultural exchanges between Ethiopia and China.
D. To celebrate the cooperation between Dawit Muluneh and Wu Jiuyi.
9. What do the symbols in I Ching stand for?
A. Different language signs. B. Human-nature connection.
C. Daily exploration in nature. D. Shared knowledge of human.
10. What does the phrase “a stepping stone” in the context mean?
A. A physical object used for walking.
B. A metaphor for a difficult beginning.
C. A special stone used in Ethiopian art.
D. An initial effort leading to further progress.
11. What’s the best title for the text?

Last weekend, my friends Alex and Taylor and I went camping. We had no idea that this experience would lead to a moment we’d never forget.
On that day, we took a pretty road that went through a peaceful countryside, and reached the camping ground after walking for about half an hour from the parking lot. We built the camp next to a small river, and spent our time observing plantation (种植地) and insects. In the afternoon, it was getting a little dark and cold, so we built a campfire. Then we went to the river and caught some fish for supper. Suddenly, a heavy rain started. We had to stay in the camp and waited for the rain to stop.
While I was sitting in the camp, getting bored, I saw something strange—a quick flash of white, then a loud noise. When we looked through the trees, we were shocked to see a white car was partially submerged (淹没) in the river. A scared woman was shouting for help, with her kid crying next to her.
“They are in the water. Help them”, I screamed. We quickly jumped to help, running out of the camp and calling 911.
Fortunately, the woman had managed to escape the car and pulled her kid out. But she was tired and hardly had energy enough to swim out of the water.
“We need to find something to help them!” I said, with my heart beating really fast.
“We have to hurry! The car began to sink,” Taylor said.
I felt scared when I heard the mother’s desperate cry for help. The child’s screams were very sad, and I knew we were their only hope. We must act now, and never give up! When the lightning flashed in the sky, I spotted our fishing net on the ground.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

An idea occurred to me right then.

An exhibition of paintings of ancient Chinese characters was held on July 13 in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, with the aim of promoting people-to-people and cultural exchanges. Based on the classic I Ching or The Book of Changes (《易经》), the display brought together the art of Ethiopia’s Dawit Muluneh and famous calligrapher Wu Jiuyi, who produced examples of calligraphy on the spot.
Speaking at the event, its organizer Gossa Oda says the exhibition was an opportunity to showcase cultural commonalities and shared knowledge between the two countries. “In organizing this exhibition, I wanted to communicate the ancient mystery of I Ching, which helps improve connectivity between Ethiopia and China and promote their shared future. A shared future starts from shared knowledge,” says Oda, who is also the owner of the Medemer Africa Art and Sculpture Space, where the 64 paintings are housed.
Oda says such an exhibition would strengthen people-to-people ties and cultural exchanges, stressing the importance of knowledge and civilizations for human development.
The paintings describe the 64 divinatory (占卜的) symbols found in I Ching, which represent the day-to-day interaction between man and nature. “They are meant to share knowledge and feelings with visitors, and descriptions are written in Chinese, English and Amharic.” says Muluneh, who painted all 64 paintings in a year. He says the exhibition can be considered a stepping stone to promote cultural exchange and create mutual situations for common development between the peoples of China and Ethiopia.
“The backgrounds of the paintings make use of Ethiopian styles and express the ideas of heaven, harvest, and relief, among others,” says Muluneh, who drew similarities and absorbed essential parts from the traditional arts of both countries.
In an interview, Wu says that he was taken by surprise when he saw an Ethiopian artist painting Chinese characters. The exhibition attracted members of the Chinese community in Addis Ababa, Ethiopian artists and painters, and school children.
8. What’s the main purpose of the exhibition held in Addis Ababa?
A. To promote Ethiopian art globally.
B. To introduce the I Ching to Ethiopians.
C. To promote cultural exchanges between Ethiopia and China.
D. To celebrate the cooperation between Dawit Muluneh and Wu Jiuyi.
9. What do the symbols in I Ching stand for?
A. Different language signs. B. Human-nature connection.
C. Daily exploration in nature. D. Shared knowledge of human.
10. What does the phrase “a stepping stone” in the context mean?
A. A physical object used for walking.
B. A metaphor for a difficult beginning.
C. A special stone used in Ethiopian art.
D. An initial effort leading to further progress.
11. What’s the best title for the text?

52. 夏天,随着水稻的生长,山脉变成了明亮的绿色。在秋天,这些山是金色的,而在冬天,它们被白霜覆盖。(汉译英)
________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】In summer, as the rice grows, the mountains turn bright green. In autumn, these mountains are golden, while in winter, they are covered with white frost.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词、形容词和时间状语从句。句子描述自然现象,用一般现在时;“在夏天”翻译为in summer;“随着水稻的生长”翻译为as the rice grows;“山脉变成了明亮的绿色”翻译为the mountains turn bright green;“在秋田”翻译为in autumn;“这些山是金色的”翻译为these mountains are golden;“而在冬天”翻译为while in winter;“它们被白霜覆盖”翻译为they are covered with white frost。故整句翻译为In summer, as the rice grows, the mountains turn bright green. In autumn, these mountains are golden, while in winter, they are covered with white frost.

【答案】I lowered my head and stared at my feet, hoping that nobody would notice how embarrassed I was.
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、时态、非谓语动词和宾语从句。陈述过去事情,用一般过去时。“低下头”用短语lower one’s head;“盯着”用短语stare at;“希望”用动词hope,句中已有谓语动词,所以这里用现在分词作伴随状语,表示与前面的动作同时发生,后接宾语从句,从句不缺少成分,且句意完整,所以用连接代词that引导;“没人注意到我有多尴尬”翻译为 nobody would notice how embarrassed I was。故翻译为I lowered my head and stared at my feet, hoping that nobody would notice how embarrassed I was.

65. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last weekend, my friends Alex and Taylor and I went camping. We had no idea that this experience would lead to a moment we’d never forget.
On that day, we took a pretty road that went through a peaceful countryside, and reached the camping ground after walking for about half an hour from the parking lot. We built the camp next to a small river, and spent our time observing plantation (种植地) and insects. In the afternoon, it was getting a little dark and cold, so we built a campfire. Then we went to the river and caught some fish for supper. Suddenly, a heavy rain started. We had to stay in the camp and waited for the rain to stop.
While I was sitting in the camp, getting bored, I saw something strange—a quick flash of white, then a loud noise. When we looked through the trees, we were shocked to see a white car was partially submerged (淹没) in the river. A scared woman was shouting for help, with her kid crying next to her.
“They are in the water. Help them”, I screamed. We quickly jumped to help, running out of the camp and calling 911.
Fortunately, the woman had managed to escape the car and pulled her kid out. But she was tired and hardly had energy enough to swim out of the water.
“We need to find something to help them!” I said, with my heart beating really fast.
“We have to hurry! The car began to sink,” Taylor said.
I felt scared when I heard the mother’s desperate cry for help. The child’s screams were very sad, and I knew we were their only hope. We must act now, and never give up! When the lightning flashed in the sky, I spotted our fishing net on the ground.
注意:

An idea occurred to me right then.

Finally, shoulder to shoulder, we pulled the mother and child to safety.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】An idea occurred to me right then. I shouted, “We can use the fishing net to rescue them!” My friends agreed immediately. We held one end of the net and threw the other end towards the mother and the child. The mother understood our intention and grabbed the net tightly. We started to pull them slowly towards the bank, but it wasn’t easy as the current was strong. The rain continued to pour down, making the situation even more challenging. But we were determined not to give up.
Finally, shoulder to shoulder, we pulled the mother and child to safety. They were both very weak and scared. We comforted them and wrapped them in blankets to keep them warm. Soon, the rescue team arrived. The mother thanked us with tears in her eyes, saying that we were her heroes. We felt relieved and proud that we could save their lives in such a dangerous situation. This camping trip, which was supposed to be a peaceful and enjoyable getaway, turned into an unforgettable and thrilling adventure for us.
