B Hello Kitty at 50 SHE weighs three apples and stands five apples tall. She enjoys baking cookies and dreams of being a pianist or poet. And on November 1, Hello Kitty turned 50 years old. A cheerful cat girl who lives with her family in London's suburbs, Hello Kitty is the best-known character of Japanese company Sanrio. Created by a kitten that her father had given her as a gift, Yuko Shimizu, one of Sanrio’ s in-house illustrators(公司内部的插图画家), created the character in 1974. She proved to be the company's most popular design by far. Sanrio's sales rocketed almost immediately as her image was put onto children's toys, stickers. But if Shimizu's simple and memorable design was the key to Hello Kitty's early success, it is another illustrator Yuko Yamaguchi who turned her into a pop culture icon. In 1979, Hello Kitty products were reducing in popularity. Aware that Hello Kitty wanted to be a musician, Yamaguchi drew a scene where the character was surrounded by her family after receiving her first grand piano. She was hired on the spot and has overseen the character's visual identity for almost 45 years. Under Yamaguchi’ s influence, the character was loved by young girls and grew with her fans. In 2010, Sanrio began putting Hello Kitty on more adult items, like electronics and kitchen appliances, as it became clear that nostalgia (念旧) was becoming a major selling point. As a result, some of today’ s biggest Hello Kitty fans are those who grew up with her in the 1980s and 1990s. Yamaguchi believes the character will endure(持续). “I hope she continues working hard so she can celebrate her 100th anniversary (周年纪念) in 50 years' time,” the illustrator said. 25. Who created Hello Kitty? A. Nobody. B. Yuko Shimizu. C. Yuko Yamaguchi. D. Kitty herself. 26. What is the correct order of the following events? ① Hello Kitty turned 50 years old. ②Hello Kitty was loved by young girls. ③Hello Kitty wanted to be a musician. ④ Hello Kitty was begun putting on more adult items. A.①②③④ B.②①④③ C.③②④① D.④③②① 27. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 3? A. Hello Kitty needed past selling point. B. People didn't like Hello Kitty any more. C. Hello Kitty products were very expensive. D. The company Sanrio didn't produce Hello Kitty. 28. How does the author feel about Hello Kitty from the last paragraph? A. Hopeful. B. Thankful. C. Harmful. D. Painful. C The Magic of 6174 Take a pen and write the number 6174 on a piece of paper. It looks just like any ordinary number, doesn't it? But what if I told you that it was a magic number? Do you think this is a joke? Well, let's see the magic with a quick experiment. Start with any four-digit number —— just make sure that at least two of the digits are different. You may use, for example,2024. Now rearrange the digits to make the smallest possible number: 0224. Then, arrange the digits to make the largest number:4220. Let's subtract the smaller number from the larger number:4220-0224=3996. Go back to the second step and repeat the process: 9963-3699=6264 → 6642-2466=4176 →764l-1467=6174 Ta-da! There you have it:6174! You can repeat this experiment with another number. What do you end up with? Is it 6174? This number is known as Kaprekar's constant (卡普雷卡尔常数). It is named after the Indian mathematician Dattatreya Ramchandra Kaprekar. He discovered the magic number in 1949 after performing the above process. But when Kaprekar presented the magic of 6174 at an international mathematics meeting, other mathematicians didn't roll out the red carpet. They thought it was a useless discovery and made fun of him. Yet to this day, no scientist can fully explain why this magic works. Would you like to dive deeper? Try different numbers and see how many steps you need to get to 6174. Which number requires the most calculations? How about the least? 29. What does the underlined word“rearrange” mean in English in Paragraph 4? A. Put ... in new order. B. Take … with old step. C. fill ... with enough room. D. Show ... around the place. 30. Kaprekar is . A. a famous writer B. a Chinese mathematician C. an international officer D. an Indian people 31. What's the best title of the text? A. A useful Number B. New Maths in 2024 C. The Magic of6174 D. Numbers in our life 32. Where is the text probably taken from? A. From a website. B. From a travel guide. C. From a fashion magazine. D. from a story book. D THE POTALA PALACE rises from the Red Mountain in the center of the Lhasa Valley, at an altitude of 3,700 meters. Its main structures, including the White and Red Palaces, measure around 115 meters in height. Built from 629 to 650, the palace has long served as the winter residence of the Dalai Lama. Today, it remains a symbol of Buddhism(佛教) and Xizang’ s rich history and culture, attracting millions of tourists each year. There are tow facts about this palace. Why was it built on top of a mountain? The high location made it easier to defend against potential(潜在的) attackers and allowed the palace to stand out as a major landmark. In Xizang’ s traditional culture, mountains are believed to be sacred(神圣的) and connected to the divine (天神). The builders chose the hilltop to highlight the palace’ s role as a center of power. Why is it repainted every autumn? This annual maintenance(保养) is carried out by local craftsmen using a paint made from a mix of milk, honey and sugar. The harsh weather conditions in Lhasa, including strong sunlight, heavy rain and frozen snow, can cause the paint to fade, crack or peel overtime. Repainting helps restore the palace’ s striking colors and ensures that it remains beautiful year after year. In addition, this practice provides a protective layer against natural damage to the structures. 33. When was the Potala Palace built? A. In the sixth century. B. In the seventh century. C. In the the eighth century. D. In the nineteenth century. 34. What does the underlined word“it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Keeping away potential attackers. B. Standing out as a major landmark. C. Connecting with the sacred divine. D. Building what a center of power is. 35. Which of the followings is not mentioned about the harsh weather conditions? A. Strong sunlight B. Heavy rain C. Icy snow D. Hard wind 36. What's the purpose of writing the text? A. To teach readers how to organize the text. B. To introduce some facts about the palace. C. To stop more tourists from visiting Xizang. D. To understand Chinese history and culture. 第二节 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 The Power of Book Clubs World Book and Copyright Day(世界图书与版权日) falls on April 23 every year. 37 There is one thing that can make reading even more interesting — joining a book club to read with others! ●Book clubs can help you discover new authors and books.

Eating longevity noodles is a basic part of birthday celebrations in China. Usually, the dish 52 (make) with wheat noodles, because rice noodles are too delicate(脆) and break 53 (easy). You can use any kind of wheat noodle variety you like, dry or fresh. 54 (Prepare) of the noodles also depends on your tastes.

Have you ever noticed these eye-catching facial features on some celebrities’ and even your friends’ faces online? Well, that’ s a new trend (趋势) called“extreme makeup(极端的化妆)”. Extreme makeup can surely help people get attention and bring them a sense of achievement. It's thus not surprising that people would like to follow this trend and spend hours practicing their makeup skills. But is this trend really worth following? From my opinion, it's a pure heart that is supposed to be loved, not an artificial appearance. A modified(改良的) face might be more“beautiful”, but it's short of time, and is not the real you. A truly pure heart contains amount of love and knowledge, which will be with you forever. If we look back at those famous people throughout history who really made an effect, we’ ll find they are not remembered for their fantastic appearance but, rather, for what they achieved and for their humanity. As students, we must bear in mind that inner fullness and spiritual richness matter most. Don't become addicted to changing your original appearance. Just be natural, innocent(天真无邪的) and simple. Find ways to improve your inner beauty, rather than what's on the outside. 61. According to the text, what can extreme makeup help people do? 62. What is the author's opinion? 63. Whom does the author write the text for? 64. What new opinions about makeup do you have? Write 30 words or more. 五、书面表达(满分20分) 65. 假设你是李辉，当你听说你的英国笔友 Tom因遇到一些家庭中的麻烦事而烦恼时，你决定给他写一封信，表达你的看法。 内容包括： 1. 列举 Tom 遇到的家庭麻烦事(一两件即可)； 2. 提供建议或帮助； 3. 你的期待。 注意： 1. 词数80-100。开头已为你写好，不计入总词数； 2. 短文须包括所给内容信息。可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3. 作文中不要出现考生和相关人物的真实校名和姓名。 Dear Tom, I'm sorry to hear that you have met some trouble in your family.
