The visa-free policy, allowing South Koreans to stay in China for up to 30 days without a visa, has made it easier for them to explore the rich cultural heritages (遗产) and different places of interest in China. Popular destinations (目的地) such as the Forbidden City, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, and the Bund (外滩) have seen a large rise. Special forces-style tourism is also popular among young people in South Korea. Some of them may visit China after work on Friday and spend their weekends.
The advantages of this policy go beyond tourism. Recent reports show that more South Korean visitors have helped the retail (零售), hotel, and transport businesses. Many shops and restaurants in tourist spots now serve South Korean preferences, offering Korean-language menus and accepting Korean payment methods.
Additionally, this policy has helped business exchanges between China and South Korea. People from both countries can now attend meetings, look for chances to work together, and put money in each other’s markets more smoothly. This strengthens economic connection and is likely to bring more teamwork in the future.
The Chinese government welcomes this positive trend and works hard to make sure the safety and comfort of all visitors, as the number of South Korean travelers continue to rise, China will have closer economic and cultural relations with its neighbor.

Passage 4
(2024·四川雅安市中考三模)I learned to cook at around 12 years old. The first skill I learned was making dough (面团). In my hometown of Ningxia, people make noodles in the evening. Since my parents often came home late, a prepared dough would help my family have supper sooner. I thought it would be easy because I often saw my mom do it—just mix water and flour (面粉), right? Not quite! It turned out to be a mess for a while. First I made the dough too soft. Then I made it too hard. But as I kept trying, I finally made it. I fell in love with cooking. It’s a good way to relax. More importantly, the cooking skill helps me live better when I was alone. I can meal myself instead of waiting for others to feed me.
Besides cooking, I did a lot of farm work in my childhood. I got to know how to plant vegetables. The experience taught me things that many of my peers (同龄人) who grew up in cities still don’t know. For example, I learned that the fruits of peanut plants (花生植株) grow under the soil. I once discussed this with my friends from the city. They thought it was a pity that they didn’t have the chance to learn these things in their lives. The experience of farming brings me a new way to look at the world and teaches me to value everything on my plate.
This may be why I’m so happy to hear that labor education will be required in China. Students in primary and middle schools will have at least one class every week to learn basic household skills like cooking and cleaning. Trust me. These practical skills will help you for the rest of your life.

3. What does the writer think of labor education?
A. It is necessary and helpful. B. It is useless but interesting.

A. The writer is an adult with good cooking skill.
B. The children in the cities are not interested in farm work.
C. Making dough is not as easy as it looks.
D. The labor class is valuable for everyone.

East Buy, a subsidiary (子公司) of the New Oriental Education (新东方教育科技集团), said that many of the things Dong said in his livestreams were written by the East Buy team, not by himself. The then-CEO, Sun Dongxu, said something bad about Dong and the team, which made Dong’s fans upset.
Surprisingly, this controversy made Dong even more popular. In just one week, his Douyin followers increased by over 3 million, while East Buy lost more than 2 million followers. Sun was no longer the CEO, and Dong became vice president (副总裁) of New Oriental’s cultural and tourism business.
Although his fame is rising, Dong remains humble. “I am not good-looking or tall; I don’t know why I have so many supporters,” he said.
However, Xu Hanze, an professor at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, believes that Dong got more attention because of his talent and intelligence, thanks to his habit of reading.
In the age of consumerism (消费主义), Dong does not trick consumers into buying unnecessary products, but encourages them to be wise when shopping online. He also puts more effort into educational activities and events to help farmers.
He believes that people should not wish to be the next Dong Yuhui. “I want to tell other young livestreamers that they do not need to be me, as each story is moving in its own way.” he said in an interview.
He went on to say that people are not products made on producing lines, and that diversity (不同) is what makes people special.

湿地保护
Passage 1

“In some years, Poyang Lake experiences floods, while in others it experiences droughts (干旱). Both of these create food shortages in the cranes’ living space,” a researcher from the National Bird Banding Centre of China told the journalist.
To help deal with the problem, the local government has built 70 hectares (公顷) of lotus roots (莲藕) in Nanchang to provide food during the winter for the cranes. The birds’ population has risen from about 3,000 to more than 5,000 over the past 20 years, according to the researcher.
Over the years, China has worked hard to protect migratory birds (候鸟) and wetlands. Wetlands play a key role in cleaning water, preventing floods, and helping with biodiversity (生物多样性). The law on wetland protection was introduced on June 1, 2022. It stops building work on important national wetlands and bans (禁止) activities such as overgrazing (过度放牧) and giving out wastewater.
Thanks to these efforts, China has reported more birds wintering in the nation’s wetlands. In February, 2023, black-faced spoonbills, a kind of endangered birds, were seen wintering at Dongting Lake after disappearing for five years. Last December, Shanghai Chongming Dongtan Bird National Nature Reserve recorded more than 2,900 tundra swans up from some 1,000 seen during the winter of 2021.

Passage 2
The government in China plans to end its one-child policy (政策) and let families have two children instead. The plan was meant to balance (平衡) population development and stop a falling birth rate (出生率) .
China started the one-child policy in 1980s. But the government allowed only a small number of couples to have two children. For example, some families in the countryside could have two children, if the first-born child is a girl. In 2013, the Chinese government gave other couples a chance to have two children if one of them was an only child.
Jiang Quanbao, a teacher and population expert, explained how Chinese families react to the newest policy. “Too many young people in the cities are no longer interested in having a second child, ” he said. “People in the countryside are more interested. But some of them are already allowed to have two children. ”
At the end of 2014, China had a population of 1. 37 billion. A total of 800 million of them have jobs. But the labor market population will drop in 35years. That is to say, the country will be in great need of labor by the year 2050. With the two-child policy, an increase in births can solve this problem.
Boys and girls, what do you think of the two-child policy? Do you want to have a new-born brother or a sister?
1. Why does the government plan to end the one-child policy?
A. Because we need a larger population.
B. Because millions of people have jobs.
C. Because most families want to have a second child.
D. Because a falling birth rate must be stopped.
2. How do most young people in the cities react to the two-child policy?
A. They support the policy. B. They don't think it is good.
C. They're very interested. D. They're not interested any more.
3. What's the order of the following events?
①The two-child policy was announced.
②China had a population of 1. 37 billion people.
③Some families in the countryside could have two children.
④Families could have two children if one parent was an only child.
A. ③④②① B. ②①④③ C. ④③②① D. ③①④②
4. What may happen after we have the two-child policy?
A. There will be more old people. B. The labor market population will drop.
C. Almost every family will have a second child. D. The population development will be balanced.

Passage 3
(2024·湖南省明德教育联盟九上期末)For more than a month, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of South Korean travelers visiting China. This is mainly due to the new visa-free policy of China, which has not only made travel more convenient but has also had a greater influence on different areas.
The visa-free policy, allowing South Koreans to stay in China for up to 30 days without a visa, has made it easier for them to explore the rich cultural heritages (遗产) and different places of interest in China. Popular destinations (目的地) such as the Forbidden City, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, and the Bund (外滩) have seen a large rise. Special forces-style tourism is also popular among young people in South Korea. Some of them may visit China after work on Friday and spend their weekends.
The advantages of this policy go beyond tourism. Recent reports show that more South Korean visitors have helped the retail (零售), hotel, and transport businesses. Many shops and restaurants in tourist spots now serve South Korean preferences, offering Korean-language menus and accepting Korean payment methods.
Additionally, this policy has helped business exchanges between China and South Korea. People from both countries can now attend meetings, look for chances to work together, and put money in each other’s markets more smoothly. This strengthens economic connection and is likely to bring more teamwork in the future.
The Chinese government welcomes this positive trend and works hard to make sure the safety and comfort of all visitors, as the number of South Korean travelers continue to rise, China will have closer economic and cultural relations with its neighbor.

After that, we flew to Chengdu. We visited cute giant pandas and even had the chance to feed them bamboo. We also tried the delicious and spicy Sichuan hot pot, which was truly a unique experience. Finally, we took the high-speed train to Beijing. The train ride was smooth, quiet, and fast. Both my parents and I enjoyed the ride very much.

(2024·福建省泉州市泉港区中考三模)According to a new research, kids can improve their brainpower by cooking, gardening and cleaning around the house.
It’s a study of 207 children. Scientists have found that housework like making meals and caring for plants had something to do with planning, self-controlling and remembering things.
Collected from children aged 5 to 13 in mid-2020, the results showed 86 percent of kids put their dirty clothes in the right place and cleaned up after playing. But only 59 percent made their own beds, just 26 percent sorted clothes after washing and 10 percent helped cooking.
Older children are more likely to do housework than younger ones. Girls do more housework than boys. For example, only 49 percent of boys but 70 percent of girls made their own beds. Around 60 percent of kids, including 50 percent of boys and 61 percent of girls, helped do the dishes. Only 34 percent of kids aged five to seven did this, but 64 percent of those aged 11 to 13 helped.

Passage 4
(2024·四川雅安市中考三模)I learned to cook at around 12 years old. The first skill I learned was making dough (面团). In my hometown of Ningxia, people make noodles in the evening. Since my parents often came home late, a prepared dough would help my family have supper sooner. I thought it would be easy because I often saw my mom do it—just mix water and flour (面粉), right? Not quite! It turned out to be a mess for a while. First I made the dough too soft. Then I made it too hard. But as I kept trying, I finally made it. I fell in love with cooking. It’s a good way to relax. More importantly, the cooking skill helps me live better when I was alone. I can meal myself instead of waiting for others to feed me.
Besides cooking, I did a lot of farm work in my childhood. I got to know how to plant vegetables. The experience taught me things that many of my peers (同龄人) who grew up in cities still don’t know. For example, I learned that the fruits of peanut plants (花生植株) grow under the soil. I once discussed this with my friends from the city. They thought it was a pity that they didn’t have the chance to learn these things in their lives. The experience of farming brings me a new way to look at the world and teaches me to value everything on my plate.
This may be why I’m so happy to hear that labor education will be required in China. Students in primary and middle schools will have at least one class every week to learn basic household skills like cooking and cleaning. Trust me. These practical skills will help you for the rest of your life.

(2024·贵州贵阳市中考二模)In primary schools and middle schools, students will have at least 1 labor class every week. If students show interest in it, they can have 2 labor classes every week. They need to learn how to do housework, such as doing some cleaning and cooking food. According to the Ministry of Education, there is a new plan for students in China.

For middle school students, they are encouraged to cook three or four dishes by themselves, learn one or two kinds of traditional skills and experience one or two kinds of new technologies, modern service or voluntary work. Students can be independent and learn to help others through these activities.
Students in primary schools and middle schools have different kinds of classes about housework. They can learn some useful knowledge from labor classes. When they get home, they can also use the knowledge to help their parents with housework. Schools should also use different ways to help parents know the importance of labor education.

Passage 1
(2025·浙江省舟山市定海区金衢山五校联盟中考一模)Livestreaming (直播) is very popular these days, but have you watched livestreaming shows given by virtual (虚拟) hosts? They look like real people, but in fact, they’ re just digital characters created by AI companies.
Xmov is such an AI company in China. It has created lots of great digital humans. People talked about the company when it presented its latest high-technology products to more than 300 guests at a launch event (发布会) in Shanghai last year.

For another, virtual hosts can work 24 hours a day. And tests have shown that they can do the job as well as human workers.
Virtual characters are expected to be used in more industries. In the near future, we may see them act as teachers, salespeople, guides and so on. It will not only reshape many industries, but also allow human workers to put more energy into creative work instead of doing boring tasks.
The AI technology is fantastic without doubt. But it can’t completely take humans’ place. For example, it will be difficult for digital humans to build trust with customers like real people. Also, the use of digital workers may lead to some safety problems if they’ re not well managed and controlled.

Passage 2
Live streaming (直播) has become very popular in China. Viewers can communicate with hosts by messaging them, buying them gifts, or sending them tips.

(2024·吉林省长春市第一〇八学校开学)Dong Yuhui, a 30-year-old livestreaming (直播) host for East Buy (东方甄选), found himself an online controversy (争议) that began on Dec. 5, 2023.
East Buy, a subsidiary (子公司) of the New Oriental Education (新东方教育科技集团), said that many of the things Dong said in his livestreams were written by the East Buy team, not by himself. The then-CEO, Sun Dongxu, said something bad about Dong and the team, which made Dong’s fans upset.
Surprisingly, this controversy made Dong even more popular. In just one week, his Douyin followers increased by over 3 million, while East Buy lost more than 2 million followers. Sun was no longer the CEO, and Dong became vice president (副总裁) of New Oriental’s cultural and tourism business.
Although his fame is rising, Dong remains humble. “I am not good-looking or tall; I don’t know why I have so many supporters,” he said.
However, Xu Hanze, an professor at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, believes that Dong got more attention because of his talent and intelligence, thanks to his habit of reading.
In the age of consumerism (消费主义), Dong does not trick consumers into buying unnecessary products, but encourages them to be wise when shopping online. He also puts more effort into educational activities and events to help farmers.
He believes that people should not wish to be the next Dong Yuhui. “I want to tell other young livestreamers that they do not need to be me, as each story is moving in its own way.” he said in an interview.
He went on to say that people are not products made on producing lines, and that diversity (不同) is what makes people special.

Passage 4
(2024·广东省广州市南沙区中考二模)Livestreaming (直播) has become very common in China. Viewers can interact with hosts by messaging them, buying them gifts, or sending them tips(打赏).

In addition to the rule, there are some other measures that will be put in place to help manage livestreaming services.
For example, livestreaming platforms will be required to put a limit on how much money people can send to livestreamers. Once the limit is reached, viewers will not be able to send gifts or tips.

Passage 2
In recent years, China has introduced a great trade-in policy (政策) which has truly changed our lives a lot. The trade-in policy was made to encourage people to trade in old products for new ones.
This policy allows people to trade in their old things, like old TVs, mobile phones or cars, for new ones. Besides these, toilets, sofas, lamps are allowed to be traded in. Of course, there are also some products that are not covered by the policy, such as old clothes, old tables and other old products that do not meet environmental protection standards.
The government offers help to encourage people to buy better things in this way.

We can save our money and it also helps us to protect the environment because the old things we trade can be recycled well. For businesses, more people will come to buy products because of the good trade-in policy. So the businessmen can sell more products and make more money. Then they will want to make better products.

Passage 1

“In some years, Poyang Lake experiences floods, while in others it experiences droughts (干旱). Both of these create food shortages in the cranes’ living space,” a researcher from the National Bird Banding Centre of China told the journalist.

The law on wetland protection was introduced on June 1, 2022. It stops building work on important national wetlands and bans (禁止) activities such as overgrazing (过度放牧) and giving out wastewater.
Thanks to these efforts, China has reported more birds wintering in the nation’s wetlands. In February, 2023, black-faced spoonbills, a kind of endangered birds, were seen wintering at Dongting Lake after disappearing for five years.

Passage 2

China started the one-child policy in 1980s. But the government allowed only a small number of couples to have two children.

That is to say, the country will be in great need of labor by the year 2050. With the two-child policy, an increase in births can solve this problem.
