There are more than 400 islands in the county. Of these islands, only 16 are inhabited (有人居住的).

We really had a great time enjoying the beauty of nature and delicious seafood. ④ The next day we went to Shengshan Island. There is a beautiful uninhabited village in the island's northeast. In the 1970s, more than1,000 people lived there and most of them were fishermen. Later they all left and moved to big cities. But we can see many beautiful photos of the village on the Internet, especially the photos of creeping plant mountain tigers (爬山虎).

Born in the countryside near Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, Mr Li now works at a university in Nanjing. When he was a kid, there were about2, 000 resident (常驻的) villagers. ▲ And most of them are old people and children. That's because young people leave their home town to work in the cities. In fact, moving to cities is a common phenomenon (现象) in China. There are many reasons why people would leave the countryside and move to a city. Let's learn three of them. ②More jobs Where there are more people, there are more jobs. In another word, there are fewer jobs in the countryside. This is the main reason why so many people leave the countryside and towns to live in big cities. ③Better education (教育) For parents, it's very important for their kids to get well- educated. Usually good primary schools, middle schools and high schools are in big cities. Well, some parents have to leave their home town to work in cities, but they can't pay for their kids' education in cities. As a result, these kids become left- behind (留守的) ones. ④The way of life The life in big cities is much more interesting and colourful than that in the countryside. Many move to a big city to experience many kinds of things, such as food, activities and movies. ⑤ Well, except for the reasons above, what else do you think can also cause the phenomenon? 14．In Paragraph 1, the writer leads into the topic by ____.

But how much do you know about them? ② Their colour is usually yellow, brown, red or black. These little animals live and work in groups. They always build "houses", find food and raise babies together. The colony (群) of ants can be small or large. The number can be from just a few to millions! ③ Usually, there are three castes (等级) in ant societies. They are queens, the males and the workers. Queen ants are usually the biggest ants in colonies. ▲ It lays (产) all the eggs, so the queen becomes the most important ant in the colony. A queen ant can live for longer. The males have larger wings and larger bodies than the worker ants. They can help out with the colony housework, but mostly they do not. They can only live for a few weeks. The queens and the workers are the winners by numbers. The workers do all the "housework"— from building and cleaning the "house" to looking for food. Workers usually live for several months. Workers are also good at building homes. They can build their homes in different places. You may find their homes under rocks or in the trees. How amazing! ④ One ant by itself cannot bring any danger to many other larger animals. However, they can beat much bigger animals in large groups.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Gu Jian, an artist in Kunshan near Suzhou, worked together with other artists and they first created (创作) Kunshan qiang. Then in the Ming Dynasty, Wei Liangfu, a great opera artist, changed it and a new kind of opera, Kunqu Opera, came into being (形成). After that, his student Liang Chenyu made more changes to Kunqu Opera and made the first Kunqu play in Chinese history—Huanshaji. Later, more and more artists started to write plays. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, Kunqu Opera was quite popular in China. It was the No. 1 opera until Beijing Opera took its place because Beijing Opera was easier to learn. Kunqu Opera has lots of excellent plays from the old times. Many of them are still popular today, such as The Peony Pavilion by Tang Xianzu, The Kite by Li Yu, The Peach Blossom Fan by Kong Shangren and The Palace of Eternal Youth by Hong Sheng. The Peony Pavilion is the very best of all Kunq u Opera plays. It tells the love story between Liu Mengmei and Du Liniang around a number of dreams. Because of the hard work by opera artists and the help from our country, Kunqu Opera is coming back to life. 22．Which is the RIGHT order according to Paragraph 2? ① Wei Liangfu created Kunqu Opera. ② Liang Chenyu wrote Huanshaji. ③ Beijing Opera became popular. ④ Gu Jian made Kunshan qiang.

Bingxi began in the Song Dynasty and became really popular during the Qing Dynasty. Emperor (皇帝) Qianlong hosted bingxi nearly every year. He had the first one in 1742, almost two hundred years before the first Winter Olympic Games. ③ Many ancient painters painted pictures about the events of bingxi. Bingxi paintings show scenes (场景) of bingxi during the Qing Dynasty. ④ In bingxi, there are three kinds of ice skating. The first one is the speed race which is similar to modern speed skating. Participants (参赛者) skate to the emperor's ice bed, from two to three kilometres away. In the painting, the emperor sits inside his ice bed. Whoever reaches the emperor first wins first prize. The second is figure skating. Jumps, spins (旋转) and pair work moves in modern figure skating can all be found in the painting. The third is soccer on ice.

The 1,035- kilometr e China- Laos Railway runs from Kunming in Southwest China's Yunnan Province to Vientiane, the capital of Laos. When it was open to traffic on December 3rd, 2021, people from Yunnan and Laos were very excited. It takes about 10 hours to get to Vientiane from Kunming. The railway line, with speeds (速度) reaching up to 200 kilometres per hour, has 50 stations. It has become the best choice for people to travel in China and Laos because of shorter travel time, according to China Railway International. 24- year- old Yi Bofeng comes from Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. She was a college student in Kunming from 2018 to 2020. "The journey from my home to my college was rough. It often took me two days by bus. But now the trip takes about six hours by train and is much more comfortable. People in my home town travel to Kunming much more often than before," she says. The railway line has also benefited (使受益) people from Laos. 52- year- old Phetsamone is a businessman in Vientiane. He buys mobile phones and automobile parts in Kunming and sells them in Vientiane. He says, "Before 2022, I drove a truck (卡车) to Kunming. The journey was too long and it was very expensive. Now I take the train. It saves more time and money." It is also easier for him to travel in Laos as well.

Last week my family went to the country by car for our holidays. There was too much traffic on the road, so we had to drive very slowly. It took us about an hour to get out of the town. Then we came to a hill. It was green and beautiful. We thought this was a good place for a picnic, so we stopped and took the food, fruit and drinks out of the car. We sat down and began to eat.

But China's taijiquan, also known as tai chi, is the other way around. It is slow, calm, and peaceful. UNESCO(联合国教科文组织) recently added tai chi to its Intangible Cultural Heritage List(非物质文化遗产名录). Although tai chi is an ancient martial art, it is still quite popular today. It has over 100 million fans in more than 150 countries. People do tai chi as a way to stay fit. Unlike other exercise, it is "soft"—the muscles are relaxing, the joints(关节) are not fully bent(弯曲的), and you don't need to stretch(拉伸) too much. This means many can do it. You can practise it almost anytime and anywhere without anything. It is believed that practising tai chi can help us have better control of our bodies so that we can stand, walk and run better. But tai chi's benefits go beyond physical health. Marleni Calcina, a Peruvian woman who has practised tai chi for more than 10 years, says it's not only a sport, but also a way of life. Tai chi has taught her the value of living more slowly. Life and work used to stress her out. But she began to feel a change thanks to tai chi, which helped her get peace and inner harmony(内心的和谐).

As for it, every-one has different suggestions. I will share some of my experience. I once took a school year English course in Wuhan University, but I mostly learned English on my own. One thing I can tell you is that, once you've started learning, you should try to think in English as much as you can. If you see something when you're riding your bike or walking down the street, just think about "How would I say them in English?" At first, it might be with simple words or phrases, but later you should think about longer phrases and sentences. Now I'm in America, and for most of the time, I would think in English and speak it directly. It's amazing how much this helps. For several years after I started learning, I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I didn't want to make mistakes. Finally I got it over. And while travelling in America, I'd try to hang out with friends who couldn't speak Chinese, so that I'd have no choice but to speak English. And I also decided that if I said something stupid and other people laughed at me, then so be it. After that, my English started im-proving much more quickly. Besides, it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way you're writing, and give you some suggestions for improvement. 48．The writer learned English in Wuhan University for about ____. A．a week B．a month C．a term D．a year 49．According to the writer, ____ is a good way to improve your English. A．thinking in English B．learning English grammar C．watching English films D．reading English books 50．The underlined phrase "got it over" in Paragraph 3 means"____"in English. A．sticked to it B．depended on it C．overcame it D．understood it 51．To the writer's surprise, his Englis improved quickly____. A．in the university B．in the middle school C．in China D．in America 52．Which of the following can be the best title for this passage? A．The Importance of English B．My English Learning Experience C．My University Life D．My American Friends 阅读理解 There are some ways to improve your English, but I think the most important thing is to make English all around you. Here is some advice for you. Listen to the radio in English. If there are no English radio stations where you live, listen to one on the Internet. Watch TV and movies in English. If there are English channels on your TV, watch them. If there are no English channels, you can buy some DVDs of English movies. Speak English to your friends. You can make friends with someone who is good at English and speak English with him or her as much as possible. You'd better make friends with people whose native language is English. Ask your friends to correct your mistakes when needed. Study or travel to an English-speaking country. Of course the best way to improve your English is to live in English environments. You will find yourself surrounded with the language everywhere. It can be a more difficult and expensive choice, but you may find it to be a very valuable and helpful experience. 53．How many ways are mentioned(提到)in the passage? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 54．If there are no English radio stations where you live, what can you do? A．Buy a new radio. B．Buy some DVDs. C．Listen to one on the Internet.

But English is very easy for me. I' m good at it. I' m very glad to tell you something about how I study English. First, I think an interest in English is very important. When I learned English first, it was fresh for me. I was interested in it, so I worked hard at it. Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark. How happy I was! After that, I learned English harder and harder. Our English teacher often teaches us English songs, and the songs sound nice. I often think how interesting English is! Second, I think English is a foreign language. I should learn it well in the following ways: Listen to the teacher carefully, speak bravely, read aloud and have a good vocabulary. Then practice again and again, never be tired. And I also have a good habit: Asking whenever(不论何时)I have a question. I must make it clear by asking our English teacher. How happy I am when I understand! Besides this, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels. They help me understand a lot of things. So to do more reading is an important way to learn English well. And I also write English diaries. English has become a close friend of mine. 57．Why do some students often have a headache. A．Because they are easy to catch a cold. B．Because it' s often very cold C．Because they think English is easy.

"I like your smile, but unlike you put your shoes on my face." Yes, we call these examples Chinglish, like "people mountain, people sea". Chinglish usually means English vocabulary with Chinese grammar on street signs or products. However, many English-speaking tourists love them. Tom has been in Beijing for years. "I think many Chinese people dislike Chinglish. But I love it. It's quite interesting. I think if the translations of English in China are all perfect, something will be lost from Chinese culture(文化),"he said. However, Chinglish will probably be history in the future. Beijing has made a plan to correct Chinglish in five years. "It is so funny to see Chinglish on the signs. And they are a kind of trouble for communication between the Chinese and foreigners," one from Beijing said. However, some people in China like Chinglish. They think that English "borrowed" a lot from other languages such as German, French and Spanish in the past, and now it's Chinese's turn. 62．What is Chinglish according to the passage? A．The English words easy to pronounce. B．The Chinese words difficult to translate. C．The English words with Chinese grammar. D．The Chinese words that foreigners love. 63．What does "people mountain, people sea" most probably mean? A．There are many people. B．Humans are powerful. C．All the people are running.

A．The fun facts about Chinglish in daily life. B．English grammar isn't important in using English. C．People will use Chinglish a lot on street signs or products. D．It's time for English to borrow some-thing from Chinese. 阅读理解 People use languages to communicate(交流). Any language has its ways to express people's minds. One of the ways in common is the use of idioms(习语). An idiom is a group of words. It has a special meaning that is different from the usual meaning. For example, under the weather is an idiom meaning ill. So when people say "I'm under the weather", they are saying that they're not feeling well. Another example, in all weathers means in all kinds of weather. So, "There are homeless people sleeping on the streets in all weathers" tells us that homeless people sleep on the streets no matter whether it is cold or hot. Different languages may have different ways to make idioms. For people who are learning a foreign language, idioms could cause misunderstandings and bring them endless headaches. On the other hand if things are done right, idioms can also be a fun way of looking into a new culture and understanding how the people think and talk. Metaphor (比喻) is often used in idioms. Let's read the following two examples: ▪ Example 1: It makes my blood(血液) boil (煮沸) when my brother breaks my computer. ▪ Example 2:The night was dark and quiet; my blood ran coldwhen I heard a strange noise outside on a dark night. In neither situation above, can our blood reach the point so high or so low in temperature. Yet, with the situations the two sentences created, it is not difficult to understand the ▲ feeling in the first example and very afraid in the second. Of course, not all idioms are this easy to understand.
