Even if you don’t care, you have to "play the game" to fit in. When I was in eighth grade, I begged my mom for a Nike T-shirt. It’s like the old fable (寓言), The Emperor’s New Clothes. Why? There is nothing special about Nike or Adidas. Their clothing is made in factories as cheaply as possible. It may even come from the same factory as your Anta clothing. Of course, the advertisements work. Look at your classmates. Their sense of self-worth (个人价值) is tied to logos they saw on TV. However, they also may feel foolish. After all, they know their Nikes are fake. So, they bully (欺负) you to feel better. What should you say to them? How about trying a bit of kindness? Just say, "I know your Nikes are fake, but it’s OK. I still think you’re cool." Daniel 24. Why do Qin Jiang’s classmates wear fake Nike or Adidas shoes? A. Because they were cheated by advertisements. B. Because they want to feel good by showing off.

How much do you think each of them tipped? (给小费) The Briton asked, “It’s common to tip 10 percent, right?” The American man cried, “Oh, I was planning to leave 20 percent!” The Chinese asked, “What’s a tip?” Although it is not a tradition to tip in China, tipping is a big deal in the United States. There, it is common to tip about 15 to 20 percent of the bill. Usually, people give tips to a waiter or waitress. The US tops the list of tipping—waiters and waitresses are expecting to get 15—20 percent of the bill. So if you order $100 in food, you are expected to pay your waiter at least $15, making your payment $115 in all. Why is this? Many waiters and waitresses get paid below the US minimum wage (最低工资), and tips make up for that. Some states pay their servers only $2.13 per hour. It is not just for waiters, either. Hotel workers, hairdressers (发型师) and taxi drivers also expect tips. Tipping is also popular in some Southeast Asian countries, like Indonesia and Thailand. However, in Japan, there is a no-tipping culture. If you try to give a waiter or waitress money, you may actually upset him or her. 28. What did the Chinese mean? A. He didn’t know anything about tipping. B. He thought 10 percent was not enough. C. He believed tipping should be very little. D. He didn’t want to give any tip. 29. Tipping is a big deal in the United States because_________. A. there are too many serving jobs in the US B. waiters and waitresses get very low wages C. the US sets a minimum wage for every person D. it is not a tradition for servers to get payment 30. Maybe you don’t need to give tip if you are in__________. A. Britain B. Indonesia C. Thailand D. Japan 31. The story is mainly about __________. A. how Americans eat out B. why high tips are expected C. tipping culture worldwide D. shared service traditions 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了世界各地不同的小费文化。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The Chinese asked, ‘What’s a tip?’”可知，中国人不知道小费是什么，意味着他对小费一无所知，故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Many waiters and waitresses get paid below the US minimum wage, and tips make up for that.”说明在美国给小费重要是因为服务员工资很低，故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“However, in Japan, there is a no-tipping culture.”可知，在日本不需要给小费，故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了不同国家的小费文化，故选C。 D Mr. Hatch lived a lonely life. He walked alone to work every day and ate his lunch alone in a corner. He never smiled. He never talked to anyone on his way home. In the evening he would read a newspaper and go to bed early.

In my class, every student is very hard-working. But the funny thing is that they like to make efforts secretly. Last week, my friend looked very tired. When I went to look through his exercise book, I found that he actually finished more pages than most of us. We had no idea when he wrote it. During a lunch break, I happened to find him hiding in his quilt. I quietly got close to his bed and suddenly lifted his quilt. I found that he was secretly doing his homework, with a torch (手电) in his hand! After knowing that, our whole class started to study secretly without telling each other. We all pretended (假装) that we hadn’t done anything but worked hard behind each other’s backs. Although our academic (学术的) performance improved, we did not have the same pleasure and satisfaction of learning together as before. Is it really a good thing to compete in this way? Schoolwork takes up most of our time, but our lives shouldn’t just focus on one thing. We also need love, leisure (休闲) and trust in each other. 45. Are the students in the writer’s class hard-working? _______________________________________________________________________ 46. What did the writer’s friend do in his quilt? _______________________________________________________________________ 47. What happened after the writer’s classmates all studied secretly? _______________________________________________________________________ 48. What’s probably the writer’s opinion? Do you agree with him? Why or why not? _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ 【答案】45. Yes, they are. 46. He was secretly doing his homework, with a torch in his hand. 47. Their academic performance improved, but they did not have the same pleasure and satisfaction of learning together as before. 48. ①. The writer may think that competing in this way is not a good thing. ②. I agree with the writer. Because schoolwork is not the only thing in our lives. We also need other things like love, leisure and trust each other. If we only focus on competing secretly, we will lose the fun of learning together. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者班上的同学们在背后偷偷竞争，虽然成绩提高了，但是没有享受到学习过程中的快乐和满足。作者认为学生们应该以一种健康的方式去竞争。 【45题详解】 根据文中“In my class, every student is very hard-working.”可知，作者班级里的学生是努力学习的。故填Yes, they are. 【46题详解】 根据文中“I found that he was secretly doing his homework, with a torch in his hand!”可知，作者发现他的朋友在被子里，手里拿着手电筒，偷偷做作业。故填He was secretly doing his homework, with a torch in his hand. 【47题详解】 根据文中“We all pretended that we hadn’t done anything but worked hard behind each other’s backs. Although our academic performance improved, we did not have the same pleasure and satisfaction of learning together as before.”可知，在作者班级里学生都开始偷偷学习之后，他们的成绩都有所提高，但是他们不再像以前一样有在一起学习的快乐和满足感了。故填Their academic performance improved, but they did not have the same pleasure and satisfaction of learning together as before. 【48题详解】 ①根据文中“Is it really a good thing to compete in this way? ”及下文可知，作者可能认为这种竞争方式不是一件好事。故填The writer may think that competing in this way is not a good thing. ②开放性试题，答案言之有理即可。故填I agree with the writer. Because schoolwork is not the only thing in our lives. We also need other things like love, leisure and trust each other. If we only focus on competing secretly, we will lose the fun of learning together. VII. 完成句子。（每空1分, 共10分） 根据所给提示完成句子, 每空一词, 含缩略词。 49. My son used to be afraid of dogs.

Last night, I was afraid that I would not do well in the race so I could hardly sleep! Luckily, my hard work paid off. I came first. That was exciting. By: Miss Miller 5:12 p.m. Well done, Jenny! The Sports Day was successful! I would like to thank all our teachers and students. Today is an unforgettable day. Today is the 30th anniversary (周年纪念日) of our school’s Sports Day! Also, today is my birthday! By: Albert 5:20 p.m. Happy birthday, Headmaster! Before the Sports Day, I practiced hard for the high jump. When I knew I lost the competition, I felt upset.

Mr. Smith encouraged him to compete B Q Dear Daniel, Some of my classmates wear fake Nike or Adidas shoes because the real ones are expensive. When I wear cheaper brands like Anta, they laugh at me. What should I do? Qin Jiang A Dear Qin Jiang, Big brands like Nike and Adidas put advertisements everywhere and make people talk about them. Even if you don’t care, you have to "play the game" to fit in. When I was in eighth grade, I begged my mom for a Nike T-shirt. It’s like the old fable (寓言), The Emperor’s New Clothes. Why? There is nothing special about Nike or Adidas. Their clothing is made in factories as cheaply as possible. It may even come from the same factory as your Anta clothing. Of course, the advertisements work. Look at your classmates. Their sense of self-worth (个人价值) is tied to logos they saw on TV. However, they also may feel foolish. After all, they know their Nikes are fake. So, they bully (欺负) you to feel better. What should you say to them? How about trying a bit of kindness? Just say, "I know your Nikes are fake, but it’s OK. I still think you’re cool." Daniel 24. Why do Qin Jiang’s classmates wear fake Nike or Adidas shoes? A. Because they were cheated by advertisements. B. Because they want to feel good by showing off. C. Because the shoes are very beautiful and of good quality. D. Because they need a way to laugh at others. 25. What do we know about big brands like Nike and Adidas? A. They put advertisements everywhere to make people talk about them. B. Their clothing is made in big factories as expensively as possible. C. Their clothing comes from the factories of Anta clothing. D. Their products make people feel foolish. 26. According to Daniel, how can Qin Jiang respond to the classmates who bully him? A. He can laugh back at these classmates. B. He can ask them to give up playing the game. C. He can say something kind to them. D. He can keep away from these classmates. 27. How did Qin Jiang tell Daniel about his problem? A. By writing a book. B. By doing a survey. C. By sending an email. D. By calling a radio program. C Three people were sitting around a table in a restaurant in Brazil. How much do you think each of them tipped? (给小费) The Briton asked, “It’s common to tip 10 percent, right?” The American man cried, “Oh, I was planning to leave 20 percent!” The Chinese asked, “What’s a tip?” Although it is not a tradition to tip in China, tipping is a big deal in the United States. There, it is common to tip about 15 to 20 percent of the bill. Usually, people give tips to a waiter or waitress. The US tops the list of tipping—waiters and waitresses are expecting to get 15—20 percent of the bill. So if you order $100 in food, you are expected to pay your waiter at least $15, making your payment $115 in all. Why is this? Many waiters and waitresses get paid below the US minimum wage (最低工资), and tips make up for that. Some states pay their servers only $2.13 per hour. It is not just for waiters, either. Hotel workers, hairdressers (发型师) and taxi drivers also expect tips. Tipping is also popular in some Southeast Asian countries, like Indonesia and Thailand. However, in Japan, there is a no-tipping culture. If you try to give a waiter or waitress money, you may actually upset him or her. 28. What did the Chinese mean? A. He didn’t know anything about tipping. B. He thought 10 percent was not enough. C. He believed tipping should be very little. D. He didn’t want to give any tip. 29. Tipping is a big deal in the United States because_________. A. there are too many serving jobs in the US B. waiters and waitresses get very low wages C. the US sets a minimum wage for every person D. it is not a tradition for servers to get payment 30. Maybe you don’t need to give tip if you are in__________. A. Britain B. Indonesia C. Thailand D. Japan 31. The story is mainly about __________. A. how Americans eat out B. why high tips are expected C. tipping culture worldwide D. shared service traditions D Mr. Hatch lived a lonely life. He walked alone to work every day and ate his lunch alone in a corner. He never smiled. He never talked to anyone on his way home. In the evening he would read a newspaper and go to bed early. His life changed, however, one day when he got a heart-shaped box full of chocolate in the mail, along with a piece of paper that said, “Somebody loves you.” At first, he couldn’t believe it, but as he read the message, he began to laugh and dance around. The message opened his heart to the power of love. Soon he found himself being cheerful. He became a joy at work and began to help out people in the neighborhood. As the days and weeks went by, his laughter, smiles, kindness, happiness and love touched everyone around him. Later, Mr. Hatch found out that the heart-shaped box belonged to somebody else. It was a mistake. He felt sad and went back to his old ways. When his neighbors found out, however, they decided not to lose the light he shared. They surprised him with a party and a long banner (条幅) that read: “Everybody Loves Mr. Hatch.” Mr. Hatch cried when he knew that somebody loved him after all. Then he laughed, smiled and hugged his friends. We all have a little bit of Mr. Hatch in us. At times we all feel unloved and unlovable. However, somebody does love us. 32. __________ changed Mr. Hatch’s life at first. A. Reading a fun story in a newspaper. B. Getting a gift box with a love message. C. Making a piece of heart-shaped chocolate. D. Falling in love with a girl at his workplace. 33. How did other people feel about Mr. Hatch’s active changes? A. They tried to teach him how to love. B. They wanted to change him back. C. They were moved by his light. D. They didn’t believe his changes. 34. Why did Mr. Hatch cry when his neighbors threw a party for him? A. Because he learned the chocolate was from his neighbors. B. Because it was his neighbors who played tricks on him. C. Because he knew that at least his neighbors loved him. D. Because he had never been to a party before. 35. What does the writer mean by the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A. Mr. Hatch stands for a universal truth. B. Mr. Hatch is a completely imagined character. C. Everybody has the same experiences as Mr. Hatch. D. We may sometimes feel unloved but somebody does love us. E Do you want to live in the metaverse (元宇宙)? It’s a virtual (虚拟的) world, but you can make friends, travel and even build houses there. However, to make it come true, many new jobs must come into being. Let’s look at some new jobs that the metaverse brings. Avatar creator What’s the first step after going into the metaverse? It might be picking an avatar (虚拟化身). So, we need avatar creators! Wang Lei gets paid to create avatars. He creates avatars on the Soul social platform (平台). Whether it’s hair, mouths or eyes, he works hard to make them look just right. The avatars can cost 30, 50 or 70 yuan. They are selling fast. Wang can be paid 45,000 yuan a month. That is three times what he makes as a pet groomer (宠物美容师). Virtual fashion designer Now that you have an avatar, it needs to get dressed. Fashion designers are here to help. IMVU is a metaverse and social site. Here, users buy virtual clothes for their avatars. There are 50 million items made by over 200,000 creators in the virtual store. This service helps IMVU gain 7 million active users each month. In 2021, IMVU even held a virtual fashion show. Virtual architect People can buy land and build houses in the metaverse.

But the funny thing is that they like to make efforts secretly. Last week, my friend looked very tired. When I went to look through his exercise book, I found that he actually finished more pages than most of us. We had no idea when he wrote it. During a lunch break, I happened to find him hiding in his quilt. I quietly got close to his bed and suddenly lifted his quilt. I found that he was secretly doing his homework, with a torch (手电) in his hand! After knowing that, our whole class started to study secretly without telling each other. We all pretended (假装) that we hadn’t done anything but worked hard behind each other’s backs. Although our academic (学术的) performance improved, we did not have the same pleasure and satisfaction of learning together as before. Is it really a good thing to compete in this way? Schoolwork takes up most of our time, but our lives shouldn’t just focus on one thing. We also need love, leisure (休闲) and trust in each other. 45.
