The Lantern Festival, held on the 15th day of the Spring Festival, marks the end of Chinese New Year celebrations. During this festival, lively lanterns of all shapes and sizes are shown. People gather in public spaces to watch the lanterns, solve riddles (谜语) written on them, and enjoy performances like dragon dances. The famous Zigong lantern show in Southwest China’s Sichuan Province has been listed as National Intangible Cultural Heritage items. 39. How long does the Spring Festival last? A. 3 days. B. 8 days.

They look like real people, but in fact, they’re just digital humans created by AI companies. Xmov is such an AI company in China. Set up in 2018, it has created lots of great digital humans. Xmov is the first company in China to create a virtual star named Ling, who is always in a traditional Chinese costume. Last year, the company also used a 3D AI host to manifest their new products to over 300 guests at an event. Now, many companies are using virtual hosts to sell their products. For one thing, it costs much less than building a traditional livestreaming room and team. For another, virtual hosts can work 24 hours a day. Virtual humans are used in more industries. In the near future, we may see them act as teachers, guides, and so on. It will not only improve many industries, but also allow human workers to put more energy into creative work instead of doing boring tasks.

Later, a Chinese woman introduced the everyday life of Chinese people to him personally, which showed him a different way of living. The woman later became his wife, and they moved to Beijing together in 2022. “She took me to see the flag-rising ceremony. Looking at lots of young people rushing toward the flag, ▲ It’s a country of power, unity (团结) and love,” he said. When Jean-Baptiste visited his wife’s hometown for the first time, he felt Chinese friendliness toward the French. “Many, even those who spoke little English, would say ‘Welcome to China’. I felt the warmth of home in a foreign country and was thirsty for living in China,” he said. When he was in China, he noticed that friendly communications between the France and China were increasing. After learning about the 15-day visa-free (免签证) travel from France to China, his family and friends couldn’t wait to come to China. “I’m excited to host them during the 60th anniversary of China-France diplomatic relationship (中法建交60周年), showing China’s modern development and rich history,” he said. 46.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了居住在中国的法国人Ollivier Jean-Baptiste，在《中国日报青年力量》节目中发表演讲，分享了他对中国的印象以及他来到中国生活的经历。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The woman later became his wife, and they moved to Beijing together in 2022.”可知，2022年他和妻子一起搬到了北京，所以他现在住在北京。故选C。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据下文“It’s a country of power, unity (团结) and love.”可知，他看到很多年轻人冲向国旗时，内心是被触动的，才会发出这样的感慨，因此选项A“我深受感动”符合语境。故选A。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When Jean-Baptiste visited his wife’s hometown for the first time, he felt Chinese friendliness toward the French.”可知，作者描述他去妻子家乡的经历，是为了展示中国人很友好。故选B。 E ①Before 4th May, China’s National Youth Day This year, great writer Mo Yan wrote a letter to young people. Here is a part of the letter: ②What should we do when having a tough time in life? I can’t give you a textbook answer, but I’d like to share two stories of my childhood. They are about A BOOK that brought me knowledge and A MAN that brought me strength. ③The book is Xinhua Dictionary. My family lived a tough life, and I had to drop out of school. Back then, children of my age were at school, learning and playing games together, but I didn’t have that luxury (奢华). The good thing is that I got a copy of the Xinhua Dictionary, and it was all I had. Most of the words I knew didn’t come from school. Instead, I learned them by reading the Xinhua Dictionary, which got me through the tough time and prepared me for my writing career. ④The man is my grandpa. One day, I got caught in bad weather with Grandpa when we were on the way home with a handcart (手推车) of grass. There were thick clouds overhead, the sky was getting dark, and a heavy storm was coming. The wind got stronger and stronger. I was pushed down to the ground and couldn’t move. Grandpa, however, hung on to the handcart. It seemed that he had no plans to run for cover—he decided to fight against the wind. Then in the strong wind, Grandpa’s legs were shaking, but he didn’t move back. Nor did the handcart. Although the grass was long gone at the end of the day, we still had the handcart. ⑤So, my dear young friends, I want you to remember that when you are having a tough time in life, don’t lose heart. Never let life knock you down. Even in the hardest situation, there is hope that encourages us to move forward. 49. What do we know about Mo Yan’s childhood? A. He led a life of luxury with his family. B. He didn’t like to play with other children. C. He got through the tough time by writing books. D. He learned most words from the Xinhua Dictionary. 50. What might Mo Yan think of his grandpa at the end of the day? A. He felt sorry for his grandpa. B. He was proud of his grandpa. C. He thought his grandpa was old and weak. D. He thought his grandpa should love himself more. 51. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? (①= Paragraph 1, ②= Paragraph 2…) A. ①/②/③④⑤ B. ①②/③④/⑤ C. ①/②③/④/⑤ D. ①/②/③④/⑤ 52. What does Mo Yan want to tell young people through his letter? A. Nobody is perfect. B. Never give up. C. A tough life is necessary. D. To be hard-working. 【答案】49. D 50. B 51. D 52. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要是作家莫言写给年轻人的一封信的部分内容，旨在鼓励年轻人在困境中不气馁。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Most of the words I knew didn’t come from school. Instead, I learned them by reading the Xinhua Dictionary, which got me through the tough time and prepared me for my writing career.”可知，莫言的大部分词汇是通过读《新华字典》学到的。故选D。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Although the grass was long gone at the end of the day, we still had the handcart.”可推测出，莫言对爷爷这种坚韧不拔的精神是钦佩和自豪的。故选B。 【51题详解】 篇章结构题。第一段①引出了莫言给年轻人写信这件事；第二段②说明要分享童年的两个故事；第三段③和第四段④分别讲述了关于《新华字典》和爷爷的故事；第五段⑤总结并鼓励年轻人在困境中不要灰心。所以文章结构是①/②/③④/⑤。故选D。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据“So, my dear young friends, I want you to remember that when you are having a tough time in life, don’t lose heart. Never let life knock you down.

Kids talked about it quietly when she walked down the halls, others laughed and pointed fingers, and some wrote notes in class. The rumor was that “Kelly only gets good grades because she cheats on exams. ” But that was not true. Kelly studied hard. She spent a lot of time studying. She even missed friends’ birthday parties. She always answered questions in class, finished homework on time, and never missed classes. Sometimes, she felt tired from trying so hard. She tried to be nice to everyone, but now this made her feel hurt and confused. In science class, students were put into teams for an experiment. Kelly was paired with Sophie, who had been mean to her since she missed her birthday party. Kelly doubted Sophie might have started the rumors. At first, they worked in silence, but then Sophie asked, “Are you going to cheat on this too?” “I don’t cheat,” replied Kelly, sad and angry. “Sure you don’t,” Sophie mocked (讥讽道) . “You just want to be the best.” Kelly felt tears in her eyes. “I care about lots of things!” “You don’t care about anyone, ” said Sophie. Hurt as she felt Kelly focused on their task. By the end, the experiment was a success. Afterward, Sophie said, “Maybe I was wrong about you.” Days later, the rumor faded (逐渐消失) as students saw how hard Kelly studied. Some apologized, and even Sophie invited Kelly to her birthday party. Later, a friend of Kelly’s asked her how she felt about the rumor. Having experienced all of this, she just said, “True strength (力量) came from within.” 53. How did Kelly feel after hearing the rumor? (不超过5个词) ____________________________________ 54. Why did the rumor fade? (不超过 15个词) ____________________________________ 55. How do you understand “True strength came from within”? (不超过15个词) ____________________________________ 【答案】53. She felt hurt and confused. / Hurt and confused. 54. Because of Kelly’s success in the experiment and her hard work. / Because Kelly succeeded in the experiment and she worked hard. 55. Staying true to ourselves is more important than what others say./ We shouldn’t let others’ words influence ourselves./ We should be positive/believe in ourselves/be confident when in difficulty. / We should focus on our goals and let our efforts speak for ourselves. 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了凯丽通过自己的实力证明谣言是错误的。 【53题详解】 根据“but now this made her feel hurt and confused.”可知凯丽在听到谣言后感到受到伤害并且困惑，故填She felt hurt and confused. / Hurt and confused. 【54题详解】 根据“By the end, the experiment was a success. Afterward, Sophie said, ‘Maybe I was wrong about you.’ ”及“Days later, the rumor faded (逐渐消失) as students saw how hard Kelly studied.”可知，因为凯丽在实验方面的成功及她的努力学习，谣言逐渐消失了，故填Because of Kelly’s success in the experiment and her hard work. / Because Kelly succeeded in the experiment and she worked hard. 【55题详解】 文中介绍凯丽面对谣言时，专注做实验，最后取得成功，同学们看到她的努力，谣言不攻自破，所以“True strength came from within”我们可以理解为“相信自己”，“专注目标，让事实说话”或者“我们不要让其他人的话影响我们自己”等，故填Staying true to ourselves is more important than what others say. /We shouldn’t let others’ words influence ourselves. / We should be positive/believe in ourselves/be confident when in difficulty. / We should focus on our goals and let our efforts speak for ourselves. 第四部分 写（共两大题，满分25分） IX. 单词拼写（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 根据首字母及汉语提示，完成下列单词的拼写，使句意明确，语言通顺。 56.

B The UNESCO added “Spring Festival, social practices of the Chinese people in celebration of the traditional New Year”, to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录) on December 4th, 2024. The Spring Festival, also called Chinese New Year, is one of the most important festivals in China. During this festival, people wish for good things to happen in the future and for everyone to be happy and healthy. Celebrations for the Spring Festival last for 15 days, ending with the Lantern Festival. Many of these celebrations and events have been passed down from generation (一代) to generation, including paper-cuttings, the dragon dance and lantern festival events. On the second day of the Spring Festival, people in some places traditionally visit temples to pray for good luck in the coming year. People may also visit the temple fair, which usually provide different activities, including traditional performances, folk art, and the sale of local handicrafts and foods.
