Into China’s Wild West I was born in Lanzhou, Gansu province. My family and I moved to France when I was six years old. Since then, Gansu has become the remote, mysterious land of my ancestors. Even though I come back to visit every year, I still wonder ___16___ the people there live, what they eat, and if I can still be considered one of them. Last year I returned to the city for the Lunar New Year celebration. My favorite downtown noodle shop was already crowded at 7 a.m. I saw a five-year-old girl having breakfast with her mother at one table. At ___17___ table, a street cleaner in an orange outfit was calmly finishing his bowl next to a well-dressed businessman. Their lives ___18___ be worlds apart, yet here they share the same daily breakfast. Aside from the delicious noodles, most tourists will visit Dunhuang, a city famous for its ancient Buddhist grottoes and murals (佛教石窟和壁画). I took my first trip there in January 2023. The unique beauty of northwestern China became increasingly easy to see ___19___ I drove farther from Lanzhou. The barren (荒芜) hills and open spaces seemed ___20___ (stretch) out forever, covered in a thin layer of snow that sparkled under the winter sun. I found myself impressed by the raw beauty of the vast land in front of me. Gansu felt so real. When I finally reached Dunhuang eight hours later, the temperatures ___21___ (drop) well below zero. The famous Mogao Caves demonstrate the rich cultural and spiritual exchanges that took place along the ancient Silk Road. I marveled at the countless frescoes (壁画) and statues ___22___ keep alive the stories of ancient pilgrims (朝圣者). The contrast between the cold, empty landscape surrounding Dunhuang and the colorful sacredness (神圣) of the caves was striking. ___23___ the amazing cultural heritage in Dunhuang, Gansu is not the most attractive place to live. It is largely a no-man’s land ___24___ (trouble) by droughts and sandstorms, but I am still proud of being born there. The memories of my childhood, the stories of my ancestors, and the rich culture of Gansu have created in me a sense of ____25____ (belong). It is where I truly feel at home. Section C(1.5’*10=10’) Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. immigrated B. bridged C. leaving D. mispronouncing E. fades F. escape G. effort H. rather I. ironically J. avoiding K. role The Pain of Forgetting My First Language No one prepared me for the heartbreak of losing my first language. It doesn’t feel like the sudden, sharp pain of losing someone you love, but ___26___ a dull ache that builds slowly until it becomes a part of you. My first language, Cantonese, is the only one I share with my parents. As it ___27___ from my memory, I also lose my ability to communicate with them. I was born in New York City and spent most of my childhood in Brooklyn speaking Cantonese. It was (and still is) the only language that my parents understand. In the 1980s, they ___28___ to the U.S. from China’s Guangdong Province. The jobs they found in kitchens and garment factories came with long hours, ___29___ them no time to learn English. When I first learned English in elementary school, my parents encouraged me to be excellent in English class because they believed it to be the key to success in America. It was an easy decision to suppress (抑制) Cantonese in an ___30___ to blend in and to feel more American. Over time, Cantonese played a smaller ___31___ in my life. It didn’t occur to me that my Cantonese was regressing until it was too late. First, my directions were off. I started saying jau, which means “right,” when I meant to say zo, which means “left.” Then, the names of colors started to ___32___ me. “I like your green dress”, I said to my mom in Cantonese once. “This is blue, silly!” she laughed. Eventually, I struggled to construct sentences altogether, often ___33___ words or failing completely to recall them. It’s deeply frustrating to be unable to express thoughts that I so eagerly want to share with my parents. We have no heart-to-heart conversations or mutual understanding. My heart aches, knowing that there’s a distance between us that may never fully be ___34___. My parents are in their 60s now. There’s no ___35___ the fact that we have a limited amount of time together. So I made it a goal to relearn Cantonese and, ultimately, rebuild the relationship with my parents, for I don’t want the language barrier to disconnect us anymore. III. Reading Comprehension (45’) Section A(1’*15=15’) Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. People on a college campus were more likely to give money to the March of Dimes if they were asked for a donation by a disabled woman in a wheelchair than if asked by a non-disabled woman. In another ___36___, subway riders in New York saw a man carrying a stick stumble and fall to the floor. Sometimes the victim (受害者) had a large red birthmark on his ___37___; sometimes he did not. In this situation, the victim was more likely to ___38___ aid if his face was spotless than if he had an unattractive birthmark. In ___39___ these and other research findings, two themes are ___40___: we are more willing to help people we like for some reason and people we think ___41___ assistance. In some situations, those who are physically attractive are more likely to receive aid. ___42___, in a field study researchers placed a completed application to graduate school in a telephone box at the airport. The application was ready to be ___43___, but had obviously been “lost”. The photo stuck to (粘贴在) the application was sometimes that of a very ___44___ person and sometimes that of a less attractive person. The measure of helping was whether the individual who found the envelope actually mailed it or not. Results showed that people were more likely to ____45____ the application if the person in the photo was physically attractive. The degree of ____46____ between the potential helper and the person in need is also important. For example, people are more likely to help a stranger who is from the same country rather than a foreigner. In one study, shoppers on a busy street in Scotland were more likely to help a person wearing a(n) ____47____ T-shirt than a person wearing a T-shirt printed with offensive words. Whether a person receives help depends in part on the “worth” of the case. For example, shoppers in a supermarket were more likely to give someone ____48____ to buy milk rather than to buy cookies, probably because milk is thought more essential for ____49____ than cookies. Passengers on a New York subway were more likely to help a man who fell to the ground if he appeared to be ____50____ rather than drunk. 36. A. word B. way C. study D. college 37.

(A) Clementine seemed to be missing a piece from her life’s puzzle for most of her life. Dropped off as a 3-year-old homeless dog near New Orleans, the dog stayed in the shelter for four months before being moved to Texas. While living at an adoption center in Texas, the dog was adopted out twice to different families. Sadly, neither of those adoptions were successful. It turned out Clementine didn’t get along with smaller pets, and she had too much energy for the second family. Meanwhile, Captain Robert Moree wanted to add a fire dog to the station. He’d just read a study about how dogs help firefighters deal with the pressure of their jobs, and he was eager to give the study a real life trial run! With the permission of the chief and other firefighters, he and a few colleagues visited the shelter. As soon as they met Clementine, they were smitten! “They introduced us to Clementine,” Captain Moree recalled. “She started to like us, and we liked her instantly. Later that day, my driver, Bryan Wallen, and I decided to get her.” Captain Moree officially adopted Clementine, but she definitely belonged to every person in the firehouse. She loved to hug the firefighters in between calls, and she was always nearby whenever anyone was preparing food. “She rides on the truck when we go out on calls” said Captain Moree. “She not only makes the station feel more like home during our 24-hour shifts but also keeps us excited to come to the station.” Clementine has made such an amazing journey from a homeless dog to a hero dog. She was named Dog of the Year at the 2022 ASPCA Humane Awards! 51. Why did Clementine fail to stay in the second family? A. She was too active. B. She liked fire. C. She ate too much. D.

She risked her life as a fire dog. B. She has got many important awards. C. She did an excellent job as a fire dog. D. She remained homeless in her whole life.

(C) Every day, Lucy Dong and her best friend Amy Zhu wake at 7 a.m.—7.10 a.m. If they are lucky-rush through their breakfast of steamed buns and noodles, and head off to what may be the best schooling system in the world. The 10-year-olds, who are natives of Shanghai. study in 35-minute bursts from around 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., with a small break for lunch—and a class meeting — sandwiched in the middle. Outside school hours, the girls’ lives are lots of extra-curricular activities: English class, flute class, drumming class, handwriting class, calligraphy class, Taekwondo training, modelling lessons and choir practice. Shanghai was crowned (加冕) — for the second time — the champion of the Programme for International Student Assesment (PISA., which compares the maths, reading and science skills of some 510,00 secondary school students around the world). Some experts question the value of comparing cities and countries. Others point out that Shanghai’s relatively well-funded schools and well-paid teachers are not representative (代表) of the Chinese education system as a whole. Even so, the latest results are likely to see more and more educators flock east in search of the mega-city’s magic formula. Professor Kong Lingshuai of the College of Education at Shanghai Normal University has studied the city’s PISA successes. He says that the secret is a mix of “traditional elements and modern elements”. The former is related to the high expectations of “tiger” parents, and a belief in Chinese children from a young age that effort is crucial to gaining a good education. The “modern elements” include Shanghai’s willingness to constantly adapt its curriculum and teaching practices; its focus on improving under-achieving schools by pairing them with those that excel; its openness to foreign ideas; and the introduction of performance-related pay. An obsession with (痴迷于) training has also been the key, says Prof. Kong. As of last year, new teachers have to undergo a standardized, one-year training course before starting in the classroom. Once qualified, they are required to complete at least 240 hours’ training in their first five years, including online learning, paper reading. essay writing and so on. Teachers are also encouraged to attend each other’s classes to promote a culture of “idea sharing, exchanging and positive competition”. Outsiders often dismiss China’s educational system as a pressure-cooker-style craze of exams that places too much emphasis on rote-learning and does little to stimulate creativity. But in Shanghai at least, that may be starting to change. Authorities are attempting to move away from testing that relies too heavily on memorizing facts and figures, and some schools are also giving students more time to play, rather than just study. 58. The author mentions Lucy Dong and Amy Zhu in the first 3 paragraphs to ______. A. praise the hard work of these two girls B. give readers the whole picture of Chinese education C. show what education in Shanghai looks like D criticize the burden the education brings on them 59. Why do some experts challenge the result that Shanghai ranked 1 “in PISA test?” A. Because the value of PISA, which only tests 510,000 students globally, receives doubt. B. Because Shanghai has got more attention and resources from the central government. C. Because only maths, reading and science skills are compared in PISA test, which is not enough. D. Because Shanghai has a better system of financial support for schools as well as for teachers. 60. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “dismiss” in the last paragraph? A. To give credit for something. B. To think about something differently. C. To think negatively of something. D. To claim the features of something 61. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Strict parents contribute little to the academic success of their children. B. Students have more free time to spend on their interest across China. C. Under-achieving schools are usually displaced by those academically competitive schools. D. Many education researchers are getting to Shanghai to study the phenomenon. Section C (2’*4=8) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.

When I first learned English in elementary school, my parents encouraged me to be excellent in English class because they believed it to be the key to success in America. It was an easy decision to suppress (抑制) Cantonese in an ___30___ to blend in and to feel more American. Over time, Cantonese played a smaller ___31___ in my life.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Clementine seemed to be missing a piece from her life’s puzzle for most of her life. Dropped off as a 3-year-old homeless dog near New Orleans, the dog stayed in the shelter for four months before being moved to Texas. While living at an adoption center in Texas, the dog was adopted out twice to different families. Sadly, neither of those adoptions were successful. It turned out Clementine didn’t get along with smaller pets, and she had too much energy for the second family. Meanwhile, Captain Robert Moree wanted to add a fire dog to the station. He’d just read a study about how dogs help firefighters deal with the pressure of their jobs, and he was eager to give the study a real life trial run! With the permission of the chief and other firefighters, he and a few colleagues visited the shelter. As soon as they met Clementine, they were smitten! “They introduced us to Clementine,” Captain Moree recalled. “She started to like us, and we liked her instantly. Later that day, my driver, Bryan Wallen, and I decided to get her.” Captain Moree officially adopted Clementine, but she definitely belonged to every person in the firehouse. She loved to hug the firefighters in between calls, and she was always nearby whenever anyone was preparing food. “She rides on the truck when we go out on calls” said Captain Moree. “She not only makes the station feel more like home during our 24-hour shifts but also keeps us excited to come to the station.” Clementine has made such an amazing journey from a homeless dog to a hero dog. She was named Dog of the Year at the 2022 ASPCA Humane Awards! 51. Why did Clementine fail to stay in the second family? A. She was too active. B. She liked fire. C. She ate too much. D. She was aggressive. 52. What does the underlined word “smithen” probably mean? A. touched B. fascinated C. confused D. embarrassed 53. What did Captain Moree expect a fire dog to do? A. Help put out fires. B. Guard the firehouse. C. Stay excited day and night. D. Ease pressure of firefighters. 54. What can be inferred about Clementine from the last two paragraphs? A. She risked her life as a fire dog. B. She has got many important awards. C. She did an excellent job as a fire dog. D. She remained homeless in her whole life. 【答案】51. A 52. B 53. D 54. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Clementine从一只流浪狗成为消防英雄狗的奇妙旅程。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It turned out Clementine didn’t get along with smaller pets, and she had too much energy for the second family.(事实证明，Clementine和小宠物相处不来，而且对于第二个家庭来说，她有太多的精力)”可知，Clementine没能留在第二个家庭的原因是她太活跃了。故选A项。 【52题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词下面的一段“‘They introduced us to Clementine,’ Captain Moree recalled. ‘She started to like us, and we liked her instantly. Later that day, my driver, Bryan Wallen, and I decided to get her.’(‘他们把我们介绍给Clementine，’Moree队长回忆道。‘她开始喜欢我们，我们也立刻喜欢上了她。那天晚些时候，我和我的司机Bryan Wallen决定去接她。’）”可知，Moree队长他们被Clementine吸引住了，所以才决定接受她，所以，划线单词smitten与fascinated意义一致。故选B项。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Meanwhile, Captain Robert Moree wanted to add a fire dog to the station. He’d just read a study about how dogs help firefighters deal with the pressure of their jobs, and he was eager to give the study a real life trial run!(与此同时，Robert Moree队长想给消防站增加一只消防犬。他刚刚读了一篇关于狗如何帮助消防员应对工作压力的研究，他渴望让这项研究在现实生活中进行试验！)”可知，Moree队长想让消防犬减轻消防员的压力。故选D项。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Clementine has made such an amazing journey from a homeless dog to a hero dog. She was named Dog of the Year at the 2022 ASPCA Humane Awards!(Clementine从一只无家可归的狗变成了一只英雄狗，经历了如此奇妙的旅程。她在2022年ASPCA人道奖上被评为年度最佳狗!）”可以推论出，作为消防犬，Clementine一定表现出色，她才会被评为年度最佳狗。故选C项。 (B) Home/Tours/China Packages/Beijing BJ28: 3 Days Private Beijing City Tour including Hotel From $419 per Free Inquiry We Guarantee 100% No Shopping Stops!

The 10-year-olds, who are natives of Shanghai. study in 35-minute bursts from around 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., with a small break for lunch—and a class meeting — sandwiched in the middle. Outside school hours, the girls’ lives are lots of extra-curricular activities: English class, flute class, drumming class, handwriting class, calligraphy class, Taekwondo training, modelling lessons and choir practice. Shanghai was crowned (加冕) — for the second time — the champion of the Programme for International Student Assesment (PISA., which compares the maths, reading and science skills of some 510,00 secondary school students around the world). Some experts question the value of comparing cities and countries. Others point out that Shanghai’s relatively well-funded schools and well-paid teachers are not representative (代表) of the Chinese education system as a whole. Even so, the latest results are likely to see more and more educators flock east in search of the mega-city’s magic formula. Professor Kong Lingshuai of the College of Education at Shanghai Normal University has studied the city’s PISA successes. He says that the secret is a mix of “traditional elements and modern elements”. The former is related to the high expectations of “tiger” parents, and a belief in Chinese children from a young age that effort is crucial to gaining a good education. The “modern elements” include Shanghai’s willingness to constantly adapt its curriculum and teaching practices; its focus on improving under-achieving schools by pairing them with those that excel; its openness to foreign ideas; and the introduction of performance-related pay. An obsession with (痴迷于) training has also been the key, says Prof. Kong. As of last year, new teachers have to undergo a standardized, one-year training course before starting in the classroom. Once qualified, they are required to complete at least 240 hours’ training in their first five years, including online learning, paper reading. essay writing and so on. Teachers are also encouraged to attend each other’s classes to promote a culture of “idea sharing, exchanging and positive competition”. Outsiders often dismiss China’s educational system as a pressure-cooker-style craze of exams that places too much emphasis on rote-learning and does little to stimulate creativity. But in Shanghai at least, that may be starting to change. Authorities are attempting to move away from testing that relies too heavily on memorizing facts and figures, and some schools are also giving students more time to play, rather than just study. 58. The author mentions Lucy Dong and Amy Zhu in the first 3 paragraphs to ______. A. praise the hard work of these two girls B. give readers the whole picture of Chinese education C. show what education in Shanghai looks like D. criticize the burden the education brings on them 59. Why do some experts challenge the result that Shanghai ranked 1 “in PISA test?” A. Because the value of PISA, which only tests 510,000 students globally, receives doubt. B. Because Shanghai has got more attention and resources from the central government. C. Because only maths, reading and science skills are compared in PISA test, which is not enough. D. Because Shanghai has a better system of financial support for schools as well as for teachers. 60. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “dismiss” in the last paragraph? A. To give credit for something. B. To think about something differently. C. To think negatively of something. D. To claim the features of something 61. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Strict parents contribute little to the academic success of their children. B. Students have more free time to spend on their interest across China. C. Under-achieving schools are usually displaced by those academically competitive schools. D. Many education researchers are getting to Shanghai to study the phenomenon. 【答案】58. C 59. D 60. C 61. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了上海的教育模式领先世界，秘诀在于传统与现代教育的结合。 【58题详解】 推理判断题。前三段描述了Lucy Dong和Amy Zhu在上海的上学日常，结合第四段中“Shanghai was crowned—for the second time—the champion of the Programme for International Student Assesment (PISA., which compares the maths, reading and science skills of some 510,00 secondary school students around the world).(上海第二次成为国际学生评估项目(PISA)的冠军。该报告比较了全球约51万名中学生的数学、阅读和科学技能。)”可知，下文提到了上海第二次成为国际学生评估项目的冠军以及上海的教育模式，故前三段提到Lucy Dong和Amy Zhu是为了说明上海的教育是什么样子的，故选C。 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Some experts question the value of comparing cities and countries. Others point out that Shanghai’s relatively well-funded schools and well-paid teachers are not representative of the Chinese education system as a whole.(一些专家质疑比较城市和国家的价值。还有人指出，上海资金相对充裕的学校和高薪教师并不能代表整个中国教育体系。)”可知，一些专家质疑上海在PISA测试中排名第一的结果，是因为上海对学校和教师都有更好的财政支持体系，故选D。 【60题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后“a pressure-cooker-style craze of exams that places too much emphasis on rote-learning and does little to stimulate creativity (压力锅式的考试狂热，过于强调死记硬背，对激发创造力几乎毫无帮助)”可知，此处指外人认为中国的教育体系不好，dismiss意为“对……不屑一提”，和C选项“To think negatively of something.(消极地看待某事)”意思相近。故选C。 【61题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Even so, the latest results are likely to see more and more educators flock east in search of the mega-city’s magic formula. (即便如此，最新的结果很可能会让越来越多的教育工作者涌向东部，寻找这个超级城市的神奇公式。)”可知，许多教育研究者会前往上海研究上海的教育模式，故选D。 Section C (2’*4=8) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.

Last summer, I embarked on a journey to the ancient city of Xi’an, which is a place rich in history and culture. Walking past the Terracotta Warriors, I was struck by their intricate details and the sheer size of the statues, each of which stood guard over the tomb of China’s first emperor for more than two millennia.
