To know young people’s search habits in China, TEENS surveyed readers aged 12 to 16 on which social media platform they like to use for searching. Li Zhouzi, a 14-year-old girl from Shanxi, likes to search on Bilibili. She said that by doing this, she gets information more quickly and easily. When using traditional search ways for some knowledge about physics, she would always lose her way in a sea of knowledge. Instead, videos on Bilibili can offer better explanations that are often clearer than those she can find anywhere else. Hu Tian is a 13-year-old girl from Sichuan. She likes searching for how to do resin-dripping (滴胶) on Xiaohongshu, a lifestyle-sharing app. Being able to connect with real people can also give searchers a strong sense of trust. She can see notes with photos and texts posted by people who also like it. She trusts them more than some reviews from unknown people. Zhou Yaokai, a 16-year-old boy from Shanghai is one of them. Like many young people, he searches for lighter topics on social media platforms. When forming his personal opinions on heavier topics, he likes to turn to official websites, such as China Daily. In this way, he can get the information he wants. 21. We can learn from the text that ________. A. people can share lifestyles with others on Bilibili B. Zhou Yaokai usually searches for videos on physics C. Xiaohongshu helps searchers connect with real people 22 The underlined word “this way” refers to ________. A. using official websites B. searching for lighter topics C. showing his own ideas 23. The passage is probably from a ________. A. poster B. newspaper C. storybook 【答案】21. C 22. A 23. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是关于TEENS调查了12至16岁的读者，他们喜欢在哪个社交媒体平台上进行搜索的介绍。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据“She likes searching for how to do resin-dripping (滴胶) on Xiaohongshu, a lifestyle-sharing app. Being able to connect with real people can also give searchers a strong sense of trust.”可知，小红书能够与真人建立联系也能给搜索者带来强烈的信任感。故选C。 【22题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“When forming his personal opinions on heavier topics, he likes to turn to official websites, such as China Daily. In this way, he can get the information he wants.”可知，他喜欢求助于官方网站，如《中国日报》。通过这种方式，他可以获得他想要的信息。因此this way是指使用官方网站，故选A。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。本文是关于TEENS调查了12至16岁的读者，他们喜欢在哪个社交媒体平台上进行搜索的介绍。因此可能来自报纸。故选B。 B The next day I looked for a pen and some paper among my things. I made two lists: one of all the bad things about my situation, and the other of all the good things. BAD I am alone. There is nobody here to talk to or to help me. I have no warm clothes. I don’t have much protection against wild animals. GOOD I survive the terrible storm. I am alive. It’s hot here, so I don’t need warm clothes. There aren’t any wild animals here. I can live well because I was able to save a lot of useful things from the ship. Sometimes it rained all day, so I had to stay inside. It was hard to read or write because the house was dark and I didn’t have candles. Then I remembered in Africa people made lamps using the fat of animals. I did the same. They didn’t give much light, but they were better than nothing. I looked at my lists and I thought, “These lists show something important. We can always find something good in a bad situation if we look for it. I must stop feeling sad and sorry for myself. My new life is here, on this island. I must make it as comfortable as I can.” I started by making my house stronger. I built thick walls and put branches on the roof to keep out the rain. I put up some shelves and I put my things on them. I made some furniture—two tables and a chair. They weren’t very beautiful but they were very useful. I made a small cave at the back of my house. It was cool and a good place to keep food. I called it my “kitchen”. Time passed quickly because I was always busy. In the mornings I went for a walk in the woods and hills with my dog. I caught birds and small animals for food. When I came back, I worked until about 11 o’clock. Then I prepared something to eat. I rested between midday and 2 o’clock because it was very hot. In the evenings I did some more work or I took out my pen and wrote about my life on the island. At 7 o’clock, I went to bed as it got dark early on the island. —Adapted from the adventures of Robinson Crusoe 24. Which of the following is a bad thing to “me”? A. I survive the terrible storm. B. No one comes and helps me. C. I don’t need any warm clothes. 25. What does the underlined word “roof” mean? A. The top of a house. B. Apiece of furniture. C. A shelf to put things on. 26. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. I made some beautiful and useful furniture. B. I made a cave to keep myself from the rain. C. I went for a walk in the woods in the mornings. 27. What can we learn from the text? A. We can’t start a new life in a new place. B. Life is hopeless when we are left alone. C. One can try to find something good in a bad situation. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文选自《鲁滨逊漂流记》，主要写了主人公在一个荒岛上的生活。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中“I am alone. There is nobody here to talk to or to help me.”可知，我独自一人，没有人来帮助我，对“我”来说是坏事。故选B。 【25题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“I started by making my house stronger. I built thick walls and put branches on the roof to keep out the rain.”可知，我一开始就把房子盖得更结实，建了厚墙，在……上放了树枝来挡雨。故猜测出“roof”意为“屋顶”。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In the mornings I went for a walk in the woods and hills with my dog.”可知，早上，我带着我的狗在树林和小山上散步。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据“TThe next day I looked for a pen and some paper among my things. I made two lists: one of all the bad things about my situation, and the other of all the good things.”可知，我列出了两个清单：一个是关于我处境的所有坏事，另一个是所有好事。再结合全文内容，主要讲述了主人公一个人在荒岛上的生活。我们从中推断出，一个人可以尝试在糟糕的情况下找到好的东西。故选C。 C When you wake up every morning, you need to decide what to wear, what to eat, where to go, how to go, whether to do exercise, etc. Along the road of life, you make many decisions. So you should be careful of decision-making. Making decisions is very important for us. Even one small choice can make a big difference. However, for every choice big or small, it’s not easy to make the right decision. Here is some advice for you. Don’t make decisions when you are over-excited, angry, or sad. Staying in high spirits, either positive or negative, can affect your ability to make a good decision. If you can’t stay calm, put off making the decision until you’re thinking clearly. Most decisions are made better when you have enough information. Do some research to find out as much as you can about your decision. There are usually many choices for you, so try to make a list of all the choices. And don’t make decisions until you’ve got a full list of your choices. If you have trouble thinking of all the choices, ask your family or friends for help. The best way to make a decision is to think about how you’re going to feel about it in the future. Warren Buffet’s 10/10/10 Rule can help you make decisions. It’s really easy and you just remember the three questions: How will you feel about your decision in 10 minutes? How about in 10 months? How about in 10 years? Of course, if a decision you made is finally found to be wrong, remember life is not always what you want it to be. 28. How does the writer start the text? A. By taking examples. B. By showing different opinions. C. By giving a definition (定义). 29. The best way to make a decision is to ________. A. make a list of all the choices B. ask your family or friends for help C. think about how you will feel about it in the future 30. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A. Let your friends or family make decisions for you. B. Use the 10/10/10 Rule to make a full list of choices. C. Doing some research helps you make better decisions. 31. What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph? A. Try not to make wrong decisions. B. Learn to accept wrong decisions. C. Remember the decisions you make. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是关于做决定的建议。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据“When you wake up every morning, you need to decide what to wear, what to eat, where to go, how to go, whether to do exercise, etc. Along the road of life, you make many decisions.”可知，是通过举例子的方式开始的文章，故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The best way to make a decision is to think about how you’re going to feel about it in the future.”可知，做出决定的最好方法是思考一下你将来会有什么感受。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Most decisions are made better when you have enough information. Do some research to find out as much as you can about your decision.”可知，当你有足够的信息时，大多数决策都会做得更好。做一些调查，尽可能多地了解你的决定。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Of course, if a decision you made is finally found to be wrong, remember life is not always what you want it to be.”可知，是想告诉我们学会接受错误的决定。故选B。 第二节（共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分） 阅读下面短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项仅使用一次。 In the past 10 years, recreational vehicles, or RVs (房车), have become more and more popular in China.

With these comics, Chinese artist Cao Siyu shares the differences between Chinese culture and Western culture. Cao Siyu comes from Beijing. She spent the last 10 years in France, the UK and the USA. “Many foreign people that I met were interested in China.” She explained. “But most of their ideas about China are out of date. I hope I can change the image of China in foreigners’ mind.” That is why Cao Siyu put her idea of “Tiny Eyes” comics into practice. By bringing words and images together, the Chinese artist tells stories in a simple yet powerful way. She shares Chinese people’s daily life and compares how differently people act in the same situation. In one comic, for example, she compared French cutlery (餐具) with Chinese one: While French people use eight different forks and knives for a meal, Chinese people can make it with only a pair of chopsticks. And in another comic, Cao Siyu made it clear how people from different cultures express love. She wrote below the comic, “Chinese people are not used to saying ‘I love you, Mum’. Instead, they show their love in actions.” Cao Siyu provides a new way for foreigners to know her motherland, and her works have gathered about 20 thousand fans on the Internet. “People from one culture may not be able to fully understand another. But we can listen to each other.” she said. 56. Where do a group of comics called “Tiny Eyes” go popular? ____________________________________________________________________________ 57.

To know young people’s search habits in China, TEENS surveyed readers aged 12 to 16 on which social media platform they like to use for searching. Li Zhouzi, a 14-year-old girl from Shanxi, likes to search on Bilibili. She said that by doing this, she gets information more quickly and easily. When using traditional search ways for some knowledge about physics, she would always lose her way in a sea of knowledge. Instead, videos on Bilibili can offer better explanations that are often clearer than those she can find anywhere else. Hu Tian is a 13-year-old girl from Sichuan. She likes searching for how to do resin-dripping (滴胶) on Xiaohongshu, a lifestyle-sharing app. Being able to connect with real people can also give searchers a strong sense of trust. She can see notes with photos and texts posted by people who also like it. She trusts them more than some reviews from unknown people. Zhou Yaokai, a 16-year-old boy from Shanghai is one of them. Like many young people, he searches for lighter topics on social media platforms. When forming his personal opinions on heavier topics, he likes to turn to official websites, such as China Daily. In this way, he can get the information he wants. 21. We can learn from the text that ________. A. people can share lifestyles with others on Bilibili B. Zhou Yaokai usually searches for videos on physics C. Xiaohongshu helps searchers connect with real people 22. The underlined word “this way” refers to ________. A. using official websites B. searching for lighter topics C. showing his own ideas 23. The passage is probably from a ________. A. poster B. newspaper C. storybook B The next day I looked for a pen and some paper among my things. I made two lists: one of all the bad things about my situation, and the other of all the good things. BAD I am alone. There is nobody here to talk to or to help me. I have no warm clothes. I don’t have much protection against wild animals. GOOD I survive the terrible storm. I am alive. It’s hot here, so I don’t need warm clothes. There aren’t any wild animals here. I can live well because I was able to save a lot of useful things from the ship. Sometimes it rained all day, so I had to stay inside. It was hard to read or write because the house was dark and I didn’t have candles. Then I remembered in Africa people made lamps using the fat of animals. I did the same. They didn’t give much light, but they were better than nothing. I looked at my lists and I thought, “These lists show something important. We can always find something good in a bad situation if we look for it. I must stop feeling sad and sorry for myself. My new life is here, on this island. I must make it as comfortable as I can.” I started by making my house stronger. I built thick walls and put branches on the roof to keep out the rain. I put up some shelves and I put my things on them. I made some furniture—two tables and a chair. They weren’t very beautiful but they were very useful. I made a small cave at the back of my house. It was cool and a good place to keep food. I called it my “kitchen”. Time passed quickly because I was always busy. In the mornings I went for a walk in the woods and hills with my dog. I caught birds and small animals for food. When I came back, I worked until about 11 o’clock. Then I prepared something to eat. I rested between midday and 2 o’clock because it was very hot. In the evenings I did some more work or I took out my pen and wrote about my life on the island. At 7 o’clock, I went to bed as it got dark early on the island. —Adapted from the adventures of Robinson Crusoe 24. Which of the following is a bad thing to “me”? A. I survive the terrible storm. B. No one comes and helps me. C. I don’t need any warm clothes. 25. What does the underlined word “roof” mean? A. The top of a house. B. Apiece of furniture. C. A shelf to put things on. 26. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. I made some beautiful and useful furniture. B. I made a cave to keep myself from the rain. C. I went for a walk in the woods in the mornings. 27. What can we learn from the text? A. We can’t start a new life in a new place. B. Life is hopeless when we are left alone. C. One can try to find something good in a bad situation. C When you wake up every morning, you need to decide what to wear, what to eat, where to go, how to go, whether to do exercise, etc. Along the road of life, you make many decisions. So you should be careful of decision-making. Making decisions is very important for us. Even one small choice can make a big difference. However, for every choice big or small, it’s not easy to make the right decision. Here is some advice for you. Don’t make decisions when you are over-excited, angry, or sad. Staying in high spirits, either positive or negative, can affect your ability to make a good decision. If you can’t stay calm, put off making the decision until you’re thinking clearly. Most decisions are made better when you have enough information. Do some research to find out as much as you can about your decision. There are usually many choices for you, so try to make a list of all the choices. And don’t make decisions until you’ve got a full list of your choices. If you have trouble thinking of all the choices, ask your family or friends for help. The best way to make a decision is to think about how you’re going to feel about it in the future. Warren Buffet’s 10/10/10 Rule can help you make decisions. It’s really easy and you just remember the three questions: How will you feel about your decision in 10 minutes? How about in 10 months? How about in 10 years? Of course, if a decision you made is finally found to be wrong, remember life is not always what you want it to be. 28. How does the writer start the text? A. By taking examples. B. By showing different opinions. C. By giving a definition (定义). 29. The best way to make a decision is to ________. A. make a list of all the choices B. ask your family or friends for help C. think about how you will feel about it in the future 30. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A. Let your friends or family make decisions for you. B. Use the 10/10/10 Rule to make a full list of choices. C. Doing some research helps you make better decisions. 31. What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph? A. Try not to make wrong decisions. B. Learn to accept wrong decisions. C. Remember the decisions you make. 第二节（共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分） 阅读下面短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项仅使用一次。 In the past 10 years recreational vehicles, or RVs (房车), have become more and more popular in China.

With these comics, Chinese artist Cao Siyu shares the differences between Chinese culture and Western culture. Cao Siyu comes from Beijing. She spent the last 10 years in France, the UK and the USA. “Many foreign people that I met were interested in China.” She explained. “But most of their ideas about China are out of date. I hope I can change the image of China in foreigners’ mind.” That is why Cao Siyu put her idea of “Tiny Eyes” comics into practice. By bringing words and images together, the Chinese artist tells stories in a simple yet powerful way. She shares Chinese people’s daily life and compares how differently people act in the same situation. In one comic, for example, she compared French cutlery (餐具) with Chinese one: While French people use eight different forks and knives for a meal, Chinese people can make it with only a pair of chopsticks. And in another comic, Cao Siyu made it clear how people from different cultures express love. She wrote below the comic, “Chinese people are not used to saying ‘I love you, Mum’. Instead, they show their love in actions.” Cao Siyu provides a new way for foreigners to know her motherland, and her works have gathered about 20 thousand fans on the Internet. “People from one culture may not be able to fully understand another. But we can listen to each other.” she said. 56. Where do a group of comics called “Tiny Eyes” go popular? ____________________________________________________________________________ 57.
