A. both B. neither C. either D. none
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我们周末原本有好几个计划,但没有一个行得通。——别担心。下次我们会找到有趣的事做。
考查不定代词。both“两者都”;neither“两者都不”;either“两者中的任何一个”;none“没有一个”,用于三者或三者以上。根据“several plans”可知,计划的数量是三个或三个以上,“but ... of them worked”这里有转折,说明这些计划都没有成功,即“没有一个”行得通。故选D。
2. —Could I ask your neighbors for help, Tom?
—I’m afraid not. I __________ know them.
A. only B. seldom C. hardly D. just
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我能找你邻居帮忙吗,Tom? ——恐怕不行。 我几乎不认识他们。
考查副词辨析。 only 仅仅;seldom很少;hardly几乎不;just刚好。根据“I’m afraid not.”可知,此处应表示不认识他们,应用“hardly”表示否定含义。故选C。
3. You should find the ________ of life first, or you will get lost easily.
A. position B. direction C. condition D. situation
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:你应该先找到生活的方向,否则你很容易就会迷失。
考查名词辨析。position位置;direction方向;condition条件;situation情况。根据“you will get lost easily”可知,本句描述的是在生活中需要有一个明确的方向来避免迷失。故选B。
4. —Sue, why do you look so tired today?

A. hungry B. angry C. sleepy D. nervous

【解析】
【详解】句意:——苏,你今天为什么看起来这么疲惫?——我昨晚熬夜了,所以我真的很困倦。
考查形容词辨析。hungry饥饿的;angry生气的;sleepy困倦的;nervous紧张的。根据句子前文“I stayed up late last night,”可知,熬夜后会感觉困倦,应该选“sleepy”。故选C。
5. We have to ________ the class trip because the weather is getting worse and worse.
A. attend B. cancel C. choose D. create
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:因为天气变得越来越糟糕,我们不得不取消班级旅行。
考查动词辨析。attend参加;cancel取消;choose选择;create创造。根据下文“because the weather is getting worse and worse.”可知,因为天气变得越来越糟糕,这种情况下要取消旅行。故选B。
6. In many countries, you are supposed to ______ your gloves before shaking hands.
A. put off B. shut off C. take off D. clean off
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:在许多国家,握手前应该摘下手套。
考查动词短语。put off推迟;shut off关闭;take off脱下;clean off将……擦去。根据常识可知,握手前要摘下手套,故选C。

— Sorry, I didn’t know that I ________ to come.
A. asked B. was asking C. was asked D. had asked
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你昨天为什么没来开会,Alice?——对不起,我不知道我被要求来参加。

8. —It’s no use ________ about things we can’t do.
—I agree with you.
A. talk B. talks C. talked D. talking
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——谈论我们不会做的事情是没有用的。——我同意。
考查非谓语动词。talk动词原形;talk动词第三人称单数形式;talked动词过去式或过去分词;talking动名词或现在分词。根据句型It’s no use doing sth.“做某事是没有用的”可知,it是形式主语,doing sth.是真正的主语。故选D。
9. —I’m sorry for being late.
—Never mind. The movie ________ for only 5 minutes.
A. has begun B. has been on C. have begun D. began
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——很抱歉我迟到了。——没关系。电影才开始5分钟。
考查现在完成时及非延续性动词。结合句意和语境,“begin”是短暂性动词,不能与“for+时间段(for only 5 minutes)”连用,需用对应的延续性动词短语“be on”。主语“the movie”是单数,现在完成时结构为“has+过去分词”,“be”的过去分词是“been”,所以用“has been on”。故选B。
10. —Now many teenagers care more about themselves.
—________. Many volunteers of this age take part in charity activities.
A. It’s a pity B. It doesn’t matter
C. I agree with you D. It’s not the case
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——现在许多青少年更关心自己。——事实并非如此。许多这个年龄段的志愿者参加慈善活动。
考查情景交际。It’s a pity太遗憾了;It doesn’t matter没关系;I agree with you我同意你的观点;It’s not the case事实并非如此。根据“Now many teenagers care more about themselves....Many volunteers of this age take part in charity activities.”可知,前后意义相反,所以该空应是表否定,It’s not the case“事实并非如此”符合语境。故选D。

“When side by side two rabbits go, who can tell the buck (雄兔) from the doe (雌兔)?” China’s Yang Jingru and Li Jinzi “played the buck and the doe” in the women’s 1,500m short track speed skating (短道速滑) event of the Winter Youth Olympic Games on Jan. 20th, 2024.
They used the classic “rabbit strategy (策略)”. The key of the “rabbit strategy” is teamwork of two skaters. One skater runs very fast from the start, while the other stays behind. This is different from the usual 1,500m speed skating strategy of keeping the same speed and then speeding up in the last few turns.
Using the “rabbit strategy”, after the first turn, Yang suddenly skated at full speed. She ran one turn faster than the other skaters and stayed at the back of the group, but nobody noticed it.
Working with Yang, Li changed between the front and the back in the first half of the race. This made the other skaters wonder who was the “leading rabbit”. In fact, when the bell rang and showed that there was only one turn to go, everyone had two turns left except Yang. At last, Yang and Li crossed the finish line successfully while others were getting into a mess.
The two Chinese short track speed players cleverly use the “rabbit strategy”. They won both gold and silver medals, making it a classic example at the Winter Youth Olympic Games.
46. How does the writer start the text?
A. By asking a question. B. By showing a picture. C. By telling a story. D. By giving an example.
47. What’s the key of the “rabbit strategy”?
A. Practice. B. Skill. C. Teamwork. D. Chance.
48 Why did Li change between the front and the back in the first half of the race?
A. To catch up with others. B. To show her skating skills.
C. To win the game. D. To give other skaters the wrong idea.
49. What is the best title (标题) for the text?
A. Rabbit Strategy B. The Buck and the Doe
C. The Winter Youth Olympic Games D. The Strategies in Olympic History
【答案】46. A 47. C 48. D 49. A

Welcome to Classic Reading. I’m your host, Jordon. While living in China for the past seven years, I’ve become interested in Chinese culture, especially classical Chinese poems. I have also known some Chinese poets, such as Li Bai, Du Fu and so on. Today, I will talk about a poem from the Tang Dynasty by the poet He Zhizhang.
Here is an English version of the poem by Xu Yuanchong, a world-famous translator of ancient Chinese poems in both English and French. Let’s take a look at his translation.
Old, I return to the homeland I left while young,
Thinner has grown my hair, though I speak the same tongue.
My children, whom I meet, do not know who am I.
“Where are you from, dear sir?” they ask with beaming eyes.
In this short poem, He Zhizhang tells a story about a visit to his birthplace. It’s been decades since the last time he was home, but he could still pick up his local accent (口音). Things did not change much, but the people did. The poet had mixed feelings about it, so he wrote this poem.
Personally, I like this poem because it reminds me of my own hometown. No matter where I live or for how long I’ve left, my hometown and family will always have a special place in my heart. I hope you can enjoy this poem as much as I do. See you next time!
50. What may be the name of the poem mentioned in the text?
A. Spring Morning. B. Return to Nature. C. Home-coming. D. Autumn Thoughts.
51. The world-famous translator Xu Yuanchong translated the poem into ________.
A. English and Japanese B. French and Russian C. English and French D. French and Japanese

A. an ancient Chinese poem B. a world-famous translator

“When side by side two rabbits go, who can tell the buck (雄兔) from the doe (雌兔)?” China’s Yang Jingru and Li Jinzi “played the buck and the doe” in the women’s 1,500m short track speed skating (短道速滑) event of the Winter Youth Olympic Games on Jan. 20th, 2024.
They used the classic “rabbit strategy (策略)”. The key of the “rabbit strategy” is teamwork of two skaters. One skater runs very fast from the start while the other stays behind. This is different from the usual 1,500m speed skating strategy of keeping the same speed and then speeding up in the last few turns.
Using the “rabbit strategy”, after the first turn, Yang suddenly skated at full speed. She ran one turn faster than the other skaters and stayed at the back of the group, but nobody noticed it.
Working with Yang, Li changed between the front and the back in the first half of the race. This made the other skaters wonder who was the “leading rabbit”. In fact, when the bell rang and showed that there was only one turn to go, everyone had two turns left except Yang. At last, Yang and Li crossed the finish line successfully while others were getting into a mess.
The two Chinese short track speed players cleverly use the “rabbit strategy”. They won both gold and silver medals, making it a classic example at the Winter Youth Olympic Games.

Welcome to Classic Reading. I’m your host, Jordon. While living in China for the past seven years, I’ve become interested in Chinese culture, especially classical Chinese poems. I have also known some Chinese poets, such as Li Bai, Du Fu and so on. Today, I will talk about a poem from the Tang Dynasty by the poet He Zhizhang.
Here is an English version of the poem by Xu Yuanchong, a world-famous translator of ancient Chinese poems in both English and French. Let’s take a look at his translation.
Old, I return to the homeland I left while young,
Thinner has grown my hair, though I speak the same tongue.
My children, whom I meet, do not know who am I.
“Where are you from, dear sir?” they ask with beaming eyes.
In this short poem, He Zhizhang tells a story about a visit to his birthplace. It’s been decades since the last time he was home, but he could still pick up his local accent (口音). Things did not change much, but the people did. The poet had mixed feelings about it, so he wrote this poem.
Personally, I like this poem because it reminds me of my own hometown. No matter where I live or for how long I’ve left, my hometown and family will always have a special place in my heart. I hope you can enjoy this poem as much as I do. See you next time!
50. What may be the name of the poem mentioned in the text?
A. Spring Morning. B. Return to Nature. C. Home-coming. D. Autumn Thoughts.
