Over a long period of time, it has been called the Year of the Dragon in English. But actually, there are a lot of differences between the Chinese long and the Western dragon. The Chinese long is made up of parts of some gentle animals, such as a rabbit’ s eyes and an ox’s ears. In Chinese mythology, long is able to fly. In addition, it can also spray (喷洒) water from its mouth to create rain. However, in Western culture, a dragon breathes fire and has the body of a snake and big wings of a bat. What’s more, you will find most of the Western dragons in dark colors because they usually stand for evil (邪恶). As a result, normally at the end of the stories, the evil dragon will be beaten by the superheroes. What makes such differences? In fact, they have something to do with the cultural differences. In Chinese Confucian (儒家的) ideas, kindness and harmony (和谐) are very important. It is our duty to help each other and live a peaceful life. Western culture, on the other hand, prefers individual heroism (个人英雄主义). Whenever something terrible happens, there will be a superhero who is brave enough to stand out, fight against the enemy on his own, and, of course, save the whole world. In recent years, Chinese have tried to translate long in another way. For example, Zhejiang’s Loong Air has already written long as Loong. One of the reasons is that Loong sounds the same as the Chinese character long. Besides, the letters “oo” in the word Loong look like the two big eyes of the animal, which makes it easier to memorize this word. Anyway, no matter how long is translated, there is one thing for sure: the Chinese long is different from the Western dragon, and it is a symbol of good luck. Wish you and your family the best in the Year of Loong! 32. Which of the following is the picture of a Western dragon? A. B. C. D. 33. According to the Chinese Confucian ideas, what might be the reason for long to spray water? A. To fight against the evil dragon. B. To help the farmers in the dry weather. C. To show its power and ability. D. To make itself the superhero in this world. 34. What makes Loong the new translation of the Chinese character long? ①its pronunciation ②its spelling ③its historical background ④its cultural meaning A. ①② B. ③④ C. ①③ D. ②④ 35. In which part of a magazine may we find this passage? A. Healthy Life B. Creative Art C. Amazing Animals D. Colorful Culture 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了中西方文化中“龙”的不同形象和象征意义。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“However, in Western culture, a dragon breathes fire and has the body of a snake and big wings of a bat.”可知，西方龙的形象与中国的龙不同，通常具有喷火、蛇身和蝙蝠翅膀的特征，A项符合。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据“In addition, it can also spray (喷洒) water from its mouth to create rain.”以及“In Chinese Confucian (儒家的) ideas, kindness and harmony (和谐) are very important. It is our duty to help each other and live a peaceful life.”可推知，中国龙从嘴里喷出水来制造雨水，雨水可以在干旱的天气里帮助农民。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“One of the reasons is that Loong sounds the same as the Chinese character long. Besides, the letters “oo” in the word Loong look like the two big eyes of the animal, which makes it easier to memorize this word.”可知，“Loong”作为“龙”的新翻译，主要基于其发音和拼写。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了中西方文化中“龙”的不同形象和象征意义，属于文化范畴。故选D。 E Nowadays, being famous and successful is changing quickly. Social media has become a new way for young people to become known as online influencers (网红). A recent survey showed that children would rather be online influencers than astronauts. But is being an online influencer a good job? The lifestyles we see on social medias seem enticing, but under the shining appearance lie problems like not having a certain pay, the control of algorithms (算法), physical and mental health problems. Let’s take a deeper look into it. Successful influencers may tell you that anyone can succeed in this industry. However, an expert says “There’s a huge income gap between successful influencers and everyone else. For most people who want to become an influencer, the creative work they love to do usually ends up being unpaid work for companies.” _________. Influencers are often controlled by computer programs called algorithms. They decide which post is shown to users and in what order. Social media platforms (平台) don’t share much information about these algorithms, but they are the ones to decide who and what becomes popular on social media. The influencers are always under pressure to create new content for these platforms. Always being online is also a big problem for influencers because it can cause mental health problems. They have to work and talk to their fans at any time of a day or night. In addition, they are scared of being judged online, which leads to mental and physical health problems. Even though being an influencer seems attractive to many people, the challenges and downsides of the job are usually hidden and not easy to see to the outside world. 36. What does the underline word “enticing” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Challenging. B. Similar. C. Amazing. D. Traditional. 37. What can we inter from this passage? A. Most of the influencers have sleep problems in their lives. B. Children are not encouraged to be influencers by the writer. C. Social media platforms go out of their way to help influencers. D Successful influencers think it’s easy to succeed in this industry. 38. Which sentence can be put in ________? A. Also, the power of algorithms is strong enough to shape influencers’ popularity. B. As we know, there are other possible huge risks for being an influencer online. C. Without doubt, algorithms is a powerful technology to lead us into the future. D. Influencers are surely more creative and better at many things than algorithms. 39. The passage is written in a ________ tone (语气). A. serious B. happy C. surprising D. funny 【答案】36. C 37. B 38. A 39. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要探讨了社交媒体时代下成为“网红”这一新兴职业的吸引力及其背后隐藏的问题。 【36题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“The lifestyles we see on social medias seem enticing, but under the shining appearance lie problems like not having a certain pay, the control of algorithms (算法), physical and mental health problems.”可知我们在社交媒体上看到的生活方式看起来很诱人，但在闪亮的外表之下却隐藏着没有一定的工资、算法的控制、身心健康问题等问题。因此意思是“有吸引力的”，与“Amazing”同义。故选C。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据“A recent survey showed that children would rather be online influencers than astronauts.”以及“Even though being an influencer seems attractive to many people, the challenges and downsides of the job are usually hidden and not easy to see to the outside world.”全文通过分析网红职业的隐性风险（收入不稳定、算法控制、身心健康问题等），暗示作者不鼓励儿童盲目追求成为网红。故选B。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。空缺后文主要讨论算法如何控制网红内容曝光度，A项直接点明“算法的力量”，与后文形成逻辑连贯。故选A。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。全文通过客观分析网红职业的潜在问题（如收入差距、算法压力、健康隐患），采用冷静、批判的语调，属于严肃讨论。故选A。 Ⅴ.口语运用。（每小题1分，共5分） 阅读下面对话，从7个选项中选择5个恰当的句子完成此对话，并把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。 A: Hi, Tim.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一则对话，两人谈论了学习英语的方法。 【40题详解】 根据上文“You look cheerful.”及下文“Oh, I made great progress in the English test and I feel so proud.”可知，对方看起来很开心，应是询问有什么好消息，选项B“好消息？”符合语境。故选B。 【41题详解】 根据上文“Did you do well in the test?”以及下文“I think I’ve tried all my best but it’s still not good enough.”可知，测试做得不好，所以此处否定回答，选项G“不，我没有。”符合语境。故选G。 【42题详解】 根据下文“Of course. I think the most important thing is to remember as many words as possible.”可知，此处寻求建议，F项“你能给我一些建议吗？”符合语境。故选F。 【43题详解】 根据下文“I can understand, but never give up!”可知，要讲记单词时候遇到的问题，选项E“但我经常很容易忘记它们。”符合语境。故选E。 【44题详解】 根据上文“OK, thank you very much!”可知，此处回应对方的感谢，选项C“别客气。”符合语境。故选C。 第Ⅱ卷（共55分） Ⅵ.任务型阅读。（65—67小题，每小题2分，68小题3分，共9分） 请阅读下列材料，并根据文章内容回答问题。 What is gleaning?

Gleaning is about reducing this waste by collecting these products. Gleaning helps solve the problems of farm waste and food shortages (短缺). So let’s go outdoors and go gleaning! Holly’s volunteer story The volunteers in Holly’s group collect about 300 boxes of food each week. Once, a local fruit farmer called Holly to ask for gleaning services. He had more. than 700.fruit trees. A member of Holly’s group created a digital (电子的) map of these trees. With the help of the map, volunteers collected the leftover fruit from the trees quickly. Two students’ conversation Lucy: Lily, I heard you took part in a volunteer activity last week. What interesting volunteer activities have you ever taken part in? Lily: I have done different volunteer activities, such as working at farms, schools, and so on. Lucy: That sounds good. I helped the clean workers clean the streets last week. I realized that it is their hard work that makes our city clean and tidy. Lily: Last week I went to gleaning and I helped farmers pick up the fruit that was not fresh. Through this experience I learned that __________ 45. Are gleaning products of good quality? ___________________________________ 46.

Interesting volunteer activities/experiences. 48. Farmers work hard, so we shouldn’t waste food in our daily lives. (开放性问答，结合文章，言之有理即可) 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。主要介绍了两种志愿者活动以及两位同学关于志愿者活动的对话。 【45题详解】 根据“What is gleaning?”部分中第一段的“Some farm products are of good quality but look imperfect. Farmers don’t usually try to sell these products.”可知，这些农产品质量很好，只是看起来不完美。故填Yes, they are. 【46题详解】 根据“Holly’s volunteer story”的“A member of Holly’s group created a digital (电子的) map of these trees. With the help of lire map, volunteers collected the leftover fruit from the trees quickly.”可知，他们通过使用树木的数字地图来迅速收集完剩下的水果。故填By using the digital map of the trees. 【47题详解】 根据“Two students’ conversation”的“Lily, I heard you took part in a volunteer activity last week. What interesting volunteer activities have you ever taken part in?”可知，两人在谈论有趣的志愿者活动/经历。故填Interesting volunteer activities/experiences. 48题详解】 根据“Two students’ conversation”的“I realized that it is their hard work that makes our city clean and tidy.”和“Last week I went to gleaning and I helped farmers pick up the fruit that was not fresh.”可知，莉莉可能会学到：农民辛勤劳动，所以我们不应该在日常生活中浪费食物。故填Farmers work hard, so we shouldn’t waste food in our daily lives.

B ①The film YOLO (You Only Live Once) directed by Jia Ling, China’s most successful female filmmaker has become a great success recently. In the film, Jia plays Le Ying, an unemployed woman in her thirties who still lives with her parents until one day, she meets a boxing coach (拳击教练), Hao Kun(played by Lei Jiayin), and later finds strength and hope in boxing training and changes her life. The actress-director lost 50 kilograms which became a hot topic in social media. ②After watching the film, many people get started on their weight loss journey. Some people plan to join gyms, but not all of them can stick to exercise. So how do you make sure you find a gym you like, and more importantly, one where you feel comfortable? ③To answer the questions, Jarrod Saracco, a fitness coach with 20 years of experience in the field, gives his advice. “From the moment you walk in, it should be about the energy and the experience. Do they greet you? Do people working out look like they’ re having a good time?” ④However, there are so many gyms in China, so choosing the right one may take you a little time. Here are some tips about how to choose the right one. ⑤Find a gym close to your home. You can walk to the gym to do some sports. It’s better to drive less than 15 minutes. If you find a good place to park your car, your choice may be right. ⑥Visit at your prime workout time (黄金锻炼时间). Saturday afternoon may be the ideal hour to check out a gym. You can go and have a look at it. If it is very crowded. Try another gym. ⑦Check for clean machines. Keeping things clean or not means the gym is good or bad.

If not, try another gym. 24. In the film YOLO, ________ plays Le Ying. A. Lei Jiayin. B. Jia Ling C. Jarrod Saracco. D. Hao Kun. 25. Which one is not a good choice? A.

Over a long period of time, it has been called the Year of the Dragon in English. But actually, there are a lot of differences between the Chinese long and the Western dragon. The Chinese long is made up of parts of some gentle animals, such as a rabbit’ s eyes and an ox’s ears. In Chinese mythology, long is able to fly. In addition, it can also spray (喷洒) water from its mouth to create rain. However, in Western culture, a dragon breathes fire and has the body of a snake and big wings of a bat. What’s more, you will find most of the Western dragons in dark colors because they usually stand for evil (邪恶). As a result, normally at the end of the stories, the evil dragon will be beaten by the superheroes. What makes such differences? In fact, they have something to do with the cultural differences. In Chinese Confucian (儒家的) ideas, kindness and harmony (和谐) are very important. It is our duty to help each other and live a peaceful life. Western culture, on the other hand, prefers individual heroism (个人英雄主义). Whenever something terrible happens, there will be a superhero who is brave enough to stand out, fight against the enemy on his own, and, of course, save the whole world. In recent years, Chinese have tried to translate long in another way. For example, Zhejiang’s Loong Air has already written long as Loong. One of the reasons is that Loong sounds the same as the Chinese character long.

Let’s take a deeper look into it. Successful influencers may tell you that anyone can succeed in this industry. However, an expert says “There’s a huge income gap between successful influencers and everyone else. For most people who want to become an influencer, the creative work they love to do usually ends up being unpaid work for companies.” _________. Influencers are often controlled by computer programs called algorithms. They decide which post is shown to users and in what order. Social media platforms (平台) don’t share much information about these algorithms, but they are the ones to decide who and what becomes popular on social media. The influencers are always under pressure to create new content for these platforms. Always being online is also a big problem for influencers because it can cause mental health problems. They have to work and talk to their fans at any time of a day or night. In addition, they are scared of being judged online, which leads to mental and physical health problems. Even though being an influencer seems attractive to many people, the challenges and downsides of the job are usually hidden and not easy to see to the outside world. 36.
