I am sure you know the story of the turtle (乌龟) and the rabbit. It taught people many lessons. One of these lessons is that people who have all the advantages (the fast-jumping rabbit) can be beaten by those who have nothing but inner (内心的) strength (the slow turtle).
It is true that the race of life, just like the one between the rabbit and the turtle, is often unfair. Some kids have all the luck. They were born healthy and their parents are rich. These kids wear nice clothes and they always have much money to spend on anything they like. Many other kids, however, have none of these things. Some of them were even born with disabilities. They have to depend on their inner strength alone.
While many people believe the “rabbits” are always successful, this is not true. In fact, the “turtles”—kids from poor families—have some of the most important things for success. They are humble (谦逊) and determined (有决心的). They march forward slowly but with great inner strength.
A student from Tsinghua University shared his personal experience online. Instead of having fun with his classmates outside, he chose to get a part-time job and study hard. He knew there would be plenty of time for fun once he had overcome all of the difficulties. His story may have encouraged “turtles”. The race of life is long. Even if you get off to a slow start, you can easily catch up if you make up your mind to do so.
31. Why does the writer mention the race between the turtle and the rabbit in the beginning?
A. To raise a discussion. B. To draw a conclusion.
C. To tell a common story. D. To express the opinion.
32. What does the underlined sentence in Para. 2 probably mean according to the text?
A. Not everyone’s starting point is the same.
B. All the people have different dreams.
C. People are treated differently in life.
D. Everyone wants to win the race.
33. What is the meaning of the underlined word “march” in the passage?
A. Look. B. Move. C. Develop. D. Change.
34. What’s the purpose of the text?
A. To advise us to try new things.
B. To tell us how to succeed quickly.
C. To show us the power of inner strength.
D. To encourage us to take races in life bravely.
35. What’s the theme (主题) of the text?
A. Society and technology. B. Man and nature.
C. Education and learning. D. Culture and history.
【答案】31. D 32. A 33. B 34. C 35. C

词句猜测题。根据“They march forward slowly but with great inner strength.”并结合选项可知,他们前进缓慢,但内心充满力量;可推测出“march”意为“前进”,与“move”意思相近。故选B。
【34题详解】

【35题详解】

Podareva, 29, was born in the hometown of Russia’s famous poet Sergei Yesenin. She has loved poetry (诗歌) since her childhood. Growing up, she wrote many poems in both Russian and English. After she came to China to study Chinese in 2013, the world of Chinese poetry opened up before her.
Podareva has had colorful experiences in China in the past eleven years. She has won prizes in many Chinese poetry writing competitions and published (出版) her own Chinese poetry collections. Her most unforgettable memory is that one of her Chinese poems written in 2020 was turned into a song. And even better: She sang it herself.
“Some people may praise China in a direct way, but I prefer to express my feeling about the country and describe the friendship between China and Russia through different styles of poems,” Podareva says.
Podareva has always wanted to be a cultural ambassador (使者) between the two countries. In 2020, she began to make videos and shared them online. Besides sharing Chinese poems she had written, Podareva also produced videos about cultural differences between China and Russia. Sometimes she made humorous videos to explain the misunderstandings that Chinese people have towards Russians.
Besides writing poetry, Podareva has also been painting. She doesn’t think the two types of art are different. In December 2022, Podareva held an exhibition in Shanghai with 66 of her paintings on show.
“All art is a way for the creators to express their spirit,” Podareva says. “I hope to create a website in Russia and introduce China—through my poetry and paintings—to Russians, so that the friendship between the two countries will be much deeper.”

Protecting six kinds of animals and increasing the number of three more can be helpful in global warming, according to a recent study by scientists from Yale University in the US. With more and more carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air, the Earth’s temperature is slowly rising. It’s well-known that plants can clean the air, but Oswald Schmitz and his team from Yale University set out to find how many animals can help, too.
Scientists have found out the environmental effects that certain wild animals have. They can store carbon and help carbon capturing (碳捕捉) plants grow, which can catch CO2 in the air. For example, African forest elephants will eat small plants that compete with carbon-capturing trees for sunlight and water. Elephants also spread seeds (种子) with their waste, helping more plants grow.
Whales can store an average of 33 tonnes of carbon dioxide in their bodies. They encourage the growth of carbon-eating plankton (浮游生物) because it feeds on the whales’ waste. The plankton is helpful because it absorbs around 40% of all the CO2 that is made by human activities. It also gives off lots of oxygen, so it is good for the planet.
Using this information, Schmitz and his teammates have known how to achieve the global goal of reducing carbon emissions (排放). They can do this by keeping the population of six kinds of animals, including gray wolves. For example, they can increase African forest elephants to 500.000 and whales to 188,000. Together, these animal groups can help capture enough carbon dioxide every year to stop global warming from reaching dangerous levels.
41. What does the underlined word “They” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Certain wild animals. B. Small plants.
C. African forest elephants. D. Whales.
42. How can African forest elephants help reduce global warming?
A. By reducing carbon dioxide and giving off oxygen.
B. By storing a lot of carbon dioxide in their bodies.
C. By helping carbon-capturing plants to grow more.
D. By eating up all the carbon-capturing plants.
43. What does the underlined word “absorbs” in paragraph 3 mean in Chinese?
A. 传播 B. 吸收 C. 产生 D. 影响
44. Who may show great interest in this text?
A. The people who studies in Yale University.
B. The people who are interested in the plant growth.
C. The people who pay attention to endangered animals.
D. The people who concentrates on environmental protection.
45. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? (①= Para.1②= Para.2…)
A. B.
C. D.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了糖画的发展及制作。
【61题详解】
句意:它不仅是一种小吃,也是一种中国传统艺术形式。根据音标提示 /fɔ:m/可知,此处单词为form“形式”。故填form。
【62题详解】
句意:糖画起源于明朝,并在清朝流行。根据“started”可知,此句时态为一般过去时,and连接两个并列的成分,started是过去式,提示词become也要用过去式,即became。故填became。
【63题详解】
句意:盘子上绘制了不同的图案,例如龙、鸟、花等。根据语境“The plate is… with different pictures such as a dragon, a bird, a flower and so on.”可知,此处表示“盘子上画有不同的图片”,paint“绘画”符合题意,主语the plate与谓语paint是被动关系,所以,paint应用过去分词painted。故填(p)ainted 。
【64题详解】
句意:付款后,顾客转动箭头并等待它停下来。根据音标 /ən'tɪl/可知,此处单词是until“直到”。故填until。

【66题详解】
句意:要制作糖浆,他们必须先将糖加热,然后才能进行绘画。根据“To make the syrup, they have to make sugar… before painting.”可知,因为制作糖浆需要加热融化糖,所以,“hot”符合题意。故填hot。
【67题详解】
句意:由于糖浆冷却后可能会变硬,画家们必须非常迅速地完成作品。根据题意可知,此处应用形容词quick的副词形式quickly修饰动词produce。故填quickly。
【68题详解】
句意:不一会儿,一个糖画就完成了,可能是动物、花朵或自行车的形状。根据“… animal, a flower or a bike”可知,or连接并列的名词,所以,animal“动物”,应用不定冠词修饰,且animal是元音音素开头,应用不定冠词an,表泛指。故填an。
【69题详解】
句意:糖画艺人的数量比以前减少了。根据“than before”可知,此处应用提示词small的比较级形式smaller,意为“更少”。故填smaller。

the Challenger space shuttle disaster
the Chernobyl nuclear accident

I am sure you know the story of the turtle (乌龟) and the rabbit. It taught people many lessons. One of these lessons is that people who have all the advantages (the fast-jumping rabbit) can be beaten by those who have nothing but inner (内心的) strength (the slow turtle).
It is true that the race of life, just like the one between the rabbit and the turtle, is often unfair. Some kids have all the luck. They were born healthy and their parents are rich. These kids wear nice clothes and they always have much money to spend on anything they like. Many other kids, however, have none of these things. Some of them were even born with disabilities. They have to depend on their inner strength alone.
While many people believe the “rabbits” are always successful, this is not true. In fact, the “turtles”—kids from poor families—have some of the most important things for success. They are humble (谦逊) and determined (有决心的). They march forward slowly but with great inner strength.
A student from Tsinghua University shared his personal experience online. Instead of having fun with his classmates outside, he chose to get a part-time job and study hard. He knew there would be plenty of time for fun once he had overcome all of the difficulties. His story may have encouraged “turtles”. The race of life is long. Even if you get off to a slow start, you can easily catch up if you make up your mind to do so.
31. Why does the writer mention the race between the turtle and the rabbit in the beginning?
A. To raise a discussion. B. To draw a conclusion.
C. To tell a common story. D. To express the opinion.
32. What does the underlined sentence in Para. 2 probably mean according to the text?
A. Not everyone’s starting point is the same.
B. All the people have different dreams.
C. People are treated differently in life.
D. Everyone wants to win the race.
33. What is the meaning of the underlined word “march” in the passage?
A. Look. B. Move. C. Develop. D. Change.
34. What’s the purpose of the text?
A. To advise us to try new things.
B. To tell us how to succeed quickly.
C. To show us the power of inner strength.
D. To encourage us to take races in life bravely.
35. What’s the theme (主题) of the text?
A. Society and technology. B. Man and nature.
C. Education and learning. D. Culture and history.
(C)
Podareva, 29, was born in the hometown of Russia’s famous poet Sergei Yesenin. She has loved poetry (诗歌) since her childhood. Growing up, she wrote many poems in both Russian and English. After she came to China to study Chinese in 2013, the world of Chinese poetry opened up before her.
Podareva has had colorful experiences in China in the past eleven years. She has won prizes in many Chinese poetry writing competitions and published (出版) her own Chinese poetry collections. Her most unforgettable memory is that one of her Chinese poems written in 2020 was turned into a song. And even better: She sang it herself.
“Some people may praise China in a direct way, but I prefer to express my feeling about the country and describe the friendship between China and Russia through different styles of poems,” Podareva says.
Podareva has always wanted to be a cultural ambassador (使者) between the two countries. In 2020, she began to make videos and shared them online. Besides sharing Chinese poems she had written, Podareva also produced videos about cultural differences between China and Russia. Sometimes she made humorous videos to explain the misunderstandings that Chinese people have towards Russians.
Besides writing poetry, Podareva has also been painting. She doesn’t think the two types of art are different. In December 2022, Podareva held an exhibition in Shanghai with 66 of her paintings on show.
“All art is a way for the creators to express their spirit,” Podareva says. “I hope to create a website in Russia and introduce China—through my poetry and paintings—to Russians, so that the friendship between the two countries will be much deeper.”
36. According to the text, how many languages in all has Podareva used to write poems?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
37. Match each paragraph with the main idea.
①Paragraph 2 a. Podareva’s special way to describe China-Russia friendship
②Paragraph 3 b. Podareva’s role as the China-Russia ambassador
③Paragraph 4 c. Podareva’s achievements in poetry writing
④Paragraph 5 d. Podareva’s painting show in Shanghai
A. ①-c; ②-a; ③-b; ④-d
B. ①-c; ②-d; ③-b; ④-a
C. ①-a; ②-d; ③-c; ④-b
D. ①-a; ②-b; ③-c; ④-d
38. Which famous person would Podareva probably mention to support her thought in Paragraph 5?
A. Wang Wei. B. Du Fu. C. Xu Beihong. D. Wu Daozi.
39. Which of the following can best show what Podareva will do next?
A.
B.
C.
D.
40. What would be the best title for the text?
A. A Russian who is knowledgeable about Chinese

Protecting six kinds of animals and increasing the number of three more can be helpful in global warming, according to a recent study by scientists from Yale University in the US. With more and more carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air, the Earth’s temperature is slowly rising. It’s well-known that plants can clean the air, but Oswald Schmitz and his team from Yale University set out to find how many animals can help, too.
Scientists have found out the environmental effects that certain wild animals have. They can store carbon and help carbon capturing (碳捕捉) plants grow, which can catch CO2 in the air. For example, African forest elephants will eat small plants that compete with carbon-capturing trees for sunlight and water. Elephants also spread seeds (种子) with their waste, helping more plants grow.
Whales can store an average of 33 tonnes of carbon dioxide in their bodies. They encourage the growth of carbon-eating plankton (浮游生物) because it feeds on the whales’ waste. The plankton is helpful because it absorbs around 40% of all the CO2 that is made by human activities. It also gives off lots of oxygen, so it is good for the planet.
Using this information, Schmitz and his teammates have known how to achieve the global goal of reducing carbon emissions (排放). They can do this by keeping the population of six kinds of animals, including gray wolves. For example, they can increase African forest elephants to 500.000 and whales to 188,000. Together, these animal groups can help capture enough carbon dioxide every year to stop global warming from reaching dangerous levels.
