Located in Yuanyang County,Yunnan Province,the Hani Terraces ()also known
as Yuanyang Rice Terraces,are an amazing UNESCO World Heritage site.These terraces,
worked by the Hani people for over 1,300 years,cover an area of about 166 square kilometers.
The highly intricate irrigation()system,which has many detailed parts and connections,
allows water to flow smoothly from the mountaintop down to the terraces,creating a beautiful
picture of water-filled fields.
The Hani people,deeply connected to the land,have developed sustainable farming
techniques passed down through generations.They take good care of each terrace,ensuring that
the rice fields are always filled with water and nutrients necessary for growth.These terraces not
only provide a means of living for the Hani people but also serve as a cultural symbol of their
harmonious relationship with nature.
Visitors to the Hani Terraces are often impressed by the impressive beauty and skilled
craftsmanship displayed by the Hani people.The sight of the terraces during sunrise or sunset is
particularly breathtaking,as the sunlight reflects off the water-filled fields,creating an
appealing display of colors.Many tourists also have the opportunity to interact with the Hani
locals,gaining insights into their traditional way of life and cultural practices.
Despite facing challenges such as climate change and urbanization,the Hani people
continue to adapt and preserve their ancient farming traditions.The terraces serve as a reminder
of the importance of sustainable farming practices and the need to protect our natural resources
for future generations.
Terraced fields are not just agricultural landscapes;they are also cultural treasures.They
represent the creativity and adaptability of the people who created them and their deep
connection to the land.Preserving these terraced fields is essential not only for their beauty but
also for the preservation of a way of life that has sustained generations

Imagine a future where the streets are crowded with vehicles,but strangely quiet as no one
is behind the wheel.Drivers are relaxed in the backseats,reading,working,or even sleeping
while their autonomous cars move smoothly through both cities and the countryside.In this near
future,self-driving cars which rely on advanced sensors,cameras,and artificial intelligence,
enabling vehicles to navigate roads without human intervention,are expected to bring significant
changes to road traffic.
One of the main advantages of self-driving cars is improved safety.Human error is a major
cause of road accidents,but self-driving cars can remove this factor by reacting more quickly
and accurately in emergency situations,reducing the number of crashes and saving lives.
Self-driving cars can also improve traffic flow and reduce congestion ()They can
communicate with each other,refining their routes and movements based on real-time traffic
data.This leads to smoother travels,fewer delays,and better employment of road resources.
Moreover,self-driving technology has the potential to provide greater flexibility for people
who are unable to drive due to age,disability,or other reasons,expanding their access to work,
social activities,and essential services.
However,the widespread adoption of self-driving cars also faces several challenges.One
key issue is responsibility.Determining who is responsible in the event of an accident involving
a self-driving car,whether it's the manufacturer,the software developer,or the owner,is a
complex legal question that needs to be resolved.
There are also concerns about job displacement,as many professions related to driving may
be affected by the rise of self-driving vehicles.Additionally,cyber security and data privacy are
crucial considerations,as self-driving cars collect and send large amounts of data.
In conclusion,while the future of self-driving holds great promise for transforming road
traffic and improving our lives,it also requires careful consideration of the associated challenges
to ensure its safe and responsible integration into society.
32.What's the main idea of paragraph 1?
A.The busy street scenes in the future.
B.The development of AI in various industries.
C.The future of road traffic with autonomous cars.
D.The advanced sensors and cameras used in future vehicles.
33.How do self-driving cars improve traffic flow?
A.By using AI to navigate the roads.
B.By sending signals during operation
C.By exchanging real-time traffic data
D.By reacting quickly in emergency situations.
英语试题第5页(共8页)
34.What's the main concern of the adoption of self-driving cars?
A.Who is to blame for an accident.
B.Network security issues.
C.Individual privacy leakage.
D.The rising unemployment rate.
35.What's the author's attitude towards self-driving cars?

Interacting with people from diverse cultures opens new horizons and exposes you to fresh
perspectives.It may initially seem scary to talk with someone who speaks a different language or
follows different social customs.36 Here are some tips to help you avoid miscommunication
and find common ground with anyone.
37 Different cultures have distinct ideas of personal space.Generally,it's considered
impolite to get too close to someone you don't know,whether by standing,sitting,or getting in
their face.Stay at arm's length-enough room for a bow or a handshake -until you get a
sense of what the other person is comfortable with.
Speak clearly and slowly.Pronounce and say each word clearly so that the listener can
follow along.If you're speaking to someone whose native language differs from yours,ensure
they understand every word.You don't have to raise your voice-just use correct pronunciation
and say every syllable (of each word distinctly.38
Simplify gestures and hand signals.Adopt a formal,reserved posture with your hands
folded or at your side.39 Even "talking with your hands",which is common in some
cultures,can come across as overly familiar and casual in others.
Make brief eye contact.40 Different cultures treat eye contact differently,so it's best
to keep it brief to avoid miscommunication.For instance,in some Asian,Latin American,and
African communities,prolonged eye contact is seen as rude and challenging.
A.Set personal boundaries.
B.Keep a respectful distance.
C.Non-native speakers tend to understand words literally.
D.Maintaining brief eye contact demonstrates respect and attention.
E.However,everything will turn out alright if you put in your best effort.
F.Pause between sentences to give them time to process what you've said.
G.Hand gestures,in particular,can be tricky in cross-cultural communication.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Upon learning I had been exchanged to Bethlehem Catholic High School in America,I was
excited.After much effort,I was ready for a fantastic experience,expecting to be the most
popular girl with my lively personality and outstanding academic performance.However,the
reality was totally different from what I had thought.
My arrival in a foreign country was met with language barriers,cultural shock and a
completely different lifestyle.Besides,the academic challenges were huge,and the combination
of all these factors made it incredibly difficult for me to make friends.
In contrast,Maisy,a Brazilian student,effortlessly adapted,her cheerful laughter and
warm smile drawing classmates to her.She seemed to light up every room she entered,always
surrounded by admirers.I longed to connect with her but was held back by my lack of courage
and fear of rejection.I often wondered how she broke through the barriers and got on so well
with others.
One day,when a costume ball was announced,I was excited and saw it as an opportunity
to stand out.I chose a Zorro costume,aiming to appear attractive.Besides,I practiced my
dance moves,anticipating the night when I could shine with grace and confidence.
The big day finally came.I arrived at the venue full of expectations.The atmosphere was
electric,but I was unprepared for the sight of everyone paired with dance partners,their
laughter and conversations creating a symphony of joy that seemed to exclude me.I stood there,
feeling like an outsider in my own story.As the music started and couples filled the dance floor,
I found myself standing alone in the corner.My practiced moves were forgotten,and my
confidence weakened with each passing moment.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
It was at that moment that I felt Maisy's eyes on me.
The costume ball provided a good opportunity for our friendship.
