She saw her mom standing beside her bed. “Today is your ninth birthday and we are going to have a party for you,” Mom said. Sally got out of bed quickly. She washed and put on a new dress. When Sally’s friends arrived, they watched a movie on TV first. After that, they had lunch. The chicken and sandwiches were delicious. When lunch was over, they played a game of musical chairs. Each person had to find a chair to sit down quickly when the music stopped. Those who could not find a chair had to sing a song. Then, they played hide-and-seek game. In this game, one person hides in a corner and others try to find him or her. They ran after one another, laughing happily. After the games were over. Sally finally cut her birthday cake.

Pandas are no longer in danger. They are on the road of recovery (恢复). Back in the 1980s, there were as few as 1,114 pandas in China. But the most recent survey in 2014 showed that there were over 1,864 pandas live in the wild. Since 1981, the Chinese government has been working with World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to save the world’s most famous bears and their homes. They set up nature parks which help protect nearly 1,300 wild pandas by giving them space to live and bamboo to eat. But the bamboo forests are getting smaller, so pandas are still losing their homes. The WWF warned that climate (气候) change could also destroy (毁掉) more than 35% of the animals’ homes, so there won’t enough places to live for them in the next years. The future for pandas in the long term is not yet clear. But one thing is for sure: we must do more efforts (努力) to protect our lovely pandas. 6．What are the great news? 7．How many pandas are living in the wild? 8．Did Chinese government do lots of things to protect pandas? 9．Is climate (气候) change good or bad for animals? 10．As a student, what can we do to protect animals in danger? （三） Mr. Black hated to do the housework. He wouldn’t stay at home on weekends, as his wife always told him to do some washing, do some cleaning, or he had to cook for his family. So he always made some excuses on Friday evenings. Recently Mr. Black became interested in playing cards, but he was afraid to let his wife know. So every Sunday afternoon he brought some fish home. It made his wife happy and she never asked where he spent his weekends. Last Saturday morning, Mr. Black left home at 7 o’clock. He took a bus and got off at a stop near a small town. His friends were waiting for him in a small hotel. They played cards there. Mr. Black didn’t go home until 7 o’ clock on Sunday evening. He went into the shop near the bus stop as usual. As soon as the shopkeeper saw him, the man said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Black. I have no fish today.

A little boy liked playing around it every day. As the little boy grew up, he didn’t play around the tree any more. One day the boy came back to the tree. He looked sad. “Why are you looking sad?” asked the tree. The boy answered, “I want my own house. I need money to buy it.” “You can pick my apples and sell them. Then you will have money.” A few years later, the boy returned. He told the tree that he wanted to go sailing around the world. “Use my branches to build your boat. You can sail far and be happy.” So the boy cut the branches to make a boat. He went sailing and didn’t return for a long, long time. Many years later, the boy returned. “Sorry, but I don’t have anything for you anymore,” the tree said, crying. “All I need is a place to rest. I am tired after my travels.” The tree replied, “Good! Old tree roots are the best place to rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad. The tree in this story is like your parents.

When he arrived home, the good pot was full of water while the cracked one was only half full. The good pot was very happy. But the cracked pot was very sad. He said to the man, “I am sorry. I always lost water on the way back to your house.” The man said to the pot, “Don’t be sad. Can you see that there are many flowers on your side of the road, but none on the other side? That’s because I know you have a crack, and I planted flower seeds (种子) on your side of the road in spring. Every day while we are on the way back, you water them.

It’s really good news that you can travel by high speed rail in Weihai, though there’s only one line there. Here in London, we have so many lines. By the way, we don’t use the word “subway” here. It’s American English. We call it “the underground” instead. The London underground is very famous. It’s famous for several reasons. First of all, part of the underground railway today is the oldest in the world, which opened in 1863. Secondly, the London underground is also the first line to have electric trains, in 1890. Thirdly, the London underground is the second largest metro system in the world, after the Shanghai Metro. There are 270 stations in the underground and it has 402 kilometers of tracks. What’s more, the city of London itself helps make the transportation system famous! I’ve got a few photos to help you build a clear picture of the underground in my city. They’re together with this mail. In your e-mail, you also said workers were building more lines. I’m sure your city is developing fast. Maybe you can send me a few photos of your city today. I really want to see the changes taking place there. I’m happy for you to live there in a modern city with such a new look! So much for now. I’ll write soon again. Best wishes. 26．Where’s the writer from? 27．In which country, people say “subway”? 28．What’s the main idea of the second paragraph ? 29．The words “high speed rail”, “subway”, “underground” and “metro” mean the same thing or different things in the passage? 30．What does the writer want Han Hua to do? （七） Asking people to a party is an art. You must think about what kind of party you’re going to have first. If it is a small party, you can just give a call to your friends and ask them to the party. You can even e-mail them or just leave a message for them. Now, calling someone is an art, too. First, give a call to your friends, and then begin the talk by asking them about their life and family. Then ask them about their schedules (日程表) on the day of the party. If they say they are free, you can ask them to the party directly (直接地). If they are not free, then ask him to try to find time for your party. If you’re going to have a big party, and need to ask lots of people to your party, you must decide how many people you want at your party. Then you can write a list of them and send them beautiful invitation cards, because you may not have so much time to give them a call each. You must send the cards a few days before the party so that they can have enough time to prepare for it. 31．The ways that you can use to invite your friends if you’re having a small party: ①    ②    ③ 32．How to begin the talk when you give a call to your friends: 33．The things that you can send to your friends if you have a big party: 34．The time that you should send invitation cards: 35．The main idea of the passage: （八） Many people enjoy going on holiday. It is a good chance to relax, visit new places and see new things. But you should decide who you want to travel with. Travelling with your family can be very cheap or even free if your parents pay. But there are many arguments (争吵). For example, on our trip to Hawaii last year, we had different ideas. Dad always wants to go to a museum. Mom would like to stay in the hotel. My sister likes to shop for clothes. As for me, the coffee shop is the best place. It would be fun to travel with friends. When you travel with friends, you have to do more different things than when you travel with your family. It is a good way to strengthen (加强) a friendship. You can get to know more about your friends. You can become closer to each other. But money is always important. You may have different budgets (预算). There are also a lot of compromises (让步) about what to eat and where to stay. There’s the third choice about who you travel with. That’s travelling alone. If you travel alone, you might spend less money. You can choose what you want to do and eat. It’s easier for you to make new friends. Of course, travelling alone is not always a good idea. Sometimes you might get bored. If you need to go to the toilet at the bus station or airport, there is nobody to look after your things. 36．Why did the writer’s family have an argument on the trip to Hawaii? 37．Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese. 38．List (列举) some advantages about travelling with friends. (at least two) 39．How many ways of travelling does the writer mention (提到)? 40．What kind of travel do you like? Why? （九） If you’re living in Chengdu, Hangzhou, or Ningbo, you’re lucky! They are the top three cities in the 2023 list of China’s happiest cities, according to the Happy Cities of China Forum (论坛) 2023 in Chengdu on November 24. The process of making the 2023 list took nearly five months. Among the 10 cities, Chengdu has been at the top of the list for 15 years in a row. Dai Wenming, the spokesperson for the forum, said that she felt so free and relaxed in Chengdu. During her visit there, she had little stress. She also said Chengdu’s success also lies in its long-time high-quality (高质量) growth. This year, cities needed to show how much they worked on areas such as education and healthcare to be the top cities. The list also includes the cities of Nanjing, Guangzhou, Changsha, Shenyang, Hohhot, Qingdao and Taiyuan. Please answer the following questions with no more than 10 words. 41．What are the top three cities in the 2023 list of China’s happiest cities? 42．How long has Chengdu been at the top of the list? 43．How did she feel when Dai Wenming visited Chengdu? 44．How many cities does the list also include? 45．Do you want to live in one of China’s happiest cities?

I’m 114 years old now. The one who made me was Zhan Tianyou. He was a brave and smart man. He believed China should build its own railways without other countries’ help. So he built me, China’s first self-built railway. At first, my trains used steam (蒸汽) and they were very slow. Their top speed was only 35 km/h. Then, the trains started to use diesel (柴油). Later, there were even better trains which used electricity (电). But it still took more than three hours to travel from Beijing to Zhangjiakou Hebei. In 2020, the new high-speed railway opened on Dec 30. I was so excited. It will help people travel more faster. The high-speed train has a top speed of 350 km/h! It only takes 47 minutes to travel from Beijing to Zhangjiakou. During the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, Beijing and Zhangjiakou, the two host cities of the event, welcomed lots of people from around the world. I’m too old to keep working these days, but people will keep me as part of history. It’s a little sad. But I’m still proud (骄傲的) of all the changes China has made. Zhan Tianyou must be proud too. 46．When was the Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway built? 47．How does the speed of trains change? 48．Was Zhan Tianyou a patriot (爱国者)? Why? 49．How long does it take if we travel from Beijing to Zhangjiakou by high-speed trains? 50．How do you feel about the changes of China? （十一） A Mother Duck is sitting on her eggs.

They are so beautiful. The duckling envies (羡慕) them very much. Winter comes. It becomes colder and colder. The river is iced. The ugly duckling is caught by the ice in the river. A farmer finds the ugly duckling. He breaks the ice and brings it to his home. The children of the farmer want to play with the ugly duckling, but it thinks they will hurt it. So it goes away. Spring comes. The ugly duckling comes to the river again. It sees the beautiful swans swimming in the river. It comes to them and says, “I’m too ugly. I’m not happy at all.” The swans say to it, “You aren’t ugly. You are a beautiful swan.” “No, you cheat (欺骗) me!” cries the ugly duckling. “Look at the water!

The island was so dangerous that no one could get there. And only a kind of sea birds often flew to the island to eat the pearls. In order to get pearls, many people came to the beaches not far from the island with guns. People killed the birds while they got the pearls. As time went by, the sea birds became endangered. And what was worse, the other birds would fly away as soon they saw people. Later Mr. Kind, a business man, came to the beaches. He bought a small forest on one of the beaches and made fences (栅栏) to stop people from going into the forest. And at the same time, he told his men not to kill the sea birds. On the other sides of the beaches there still came a lot of people to kill birds. When the sound of guns went up in a place, the sea birds would fly into Mr. Kind’s forest at once.

First of all, part of the underground railway today is the oldest in the world, which opened in 1863. Secondly, the London underground is also the first line to have electric trains, in 1890. Thirdly, the London underground is the second largest metro system in the world, after the Shanghai Metro. There are 270 stations in the underground and it has 402 kilometers of tracks. What’s more, the city of London itself helps make the transportation system famous! I’ve got a few photos to help you build a clear picture of the underground in my city. They’re together with this mail. In your e-mail, you also said workers were building more lines. I’m sure your city is developing fast. Maybe you can send me a few photos of your city today.

It is a good chance to relax, visit new places and see new things. But you should decide who you want to travel with. Travelling with your family can be very cheap or even free if your parents pay. But there are many arguments (争吵). For example, on our trip to Hawaii last year, we had different ideas. Dad always wants to go to a museum. Mom would like to stay in the hotel. My sister likes to shop for clothes. As for me, the coffee shop is the best place. It would be fun to travel with friends. When you travel with friends, you have to do more different things than when you travel with your family. It is a good way to strengthen (加强) a friendship. You can get to know more about your friends. You can become closer to each other. But money is always important. You may have different budgets (预算). There are also a lot of compromises (让步) about what to eat and where to stay. There’s the third choice about who you travel with. That’s travelling alone. If you travel alone, you might spend less money. You can choose what you want to do and eat. It’s easier for you to make new friends. Of course, travelling alone is not always a good idea. Sometimes you might get bored. If you need to go to the toilet at the bus station or airport, there is nobody to look after your things. 36．Why did the writer’s family have an argument on the trip to Hawaii? 37．Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese. 38．List (列举) some advantages about travelling with friends.
