Do you want to know something about its festivals and cultures? Let’s dig into one of their important but less widely-celebrated festival — the Shangsi Festival. Origins Dating back over 2,000 years to the Zhou Dynasty (1046-256 BCE), Shangsi Festival (Double Third Festival) is celebrated on the third day of the third lunar month. The Festival originated from ancient purification ceremony called “Fúxi” and river god worship customs. People washed themselves to rid bad luck and illness, and also worshipped the river god, praying for favorable weather, abundant rainfall, and good harvests. Different celebrations in different ethnics In modern times, the spirit of embracing nature and pursuing physical and mental health, as well as customs like spring outings and water-related activities, is still passed down and experienced by certain groups of people in various forms. ·She Ethnic Group: For the She people, it is the Black Rice Festival which is as important as their Lunar New Year celebration. They prepare black-colored rice, a practice believed to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune. ·Dong Ethnic Group: The Dong people celebrate with a unique “Flower Cannon (炮)” competition. Young men compete to catch the special iron cannon, as capturing the ring is believed to bring happiness and good luck to their community. ·Zhuang Ethnic Group: Known as the Song Festival, this day serves as the Zhuang people’s oldest Valentine’s Day. Young people participate in antiphonal (应答的) singing, expressing feelings, showcasing talents, and searching for life-mates. ·Yao Ethnic Group: Yao community celebrates “Gan Ba Festival” by hunting and making gan ba (dried meat strips). More information about other Asian festivals, click here. 1. What is the origin of the Shangsi Festival about? A. Religion. B. A figure. C. Harvest. D. An event. 2. Which ethnic group considers the Shangsi Festival a day for lovers? A. She Ethnic Group. B. Dong Ethnic Group. C. Zhuang Ethnic Group. D. Yao Ethnic Group. 3. Who may be the intended readers of this text? A. Historical researchers. B. Chinese culture enthusiasts. C. Worldwide travelers. D. Singing and dance lovers. B Last week, I visited my local bank to put a cheque into my account. While the procedure itself was relatively simple and user-friendly, I chose to double-check the details with the teller (出纳员) to ensure accuracy. The teller, apparently new to role, was unsure about the steps. He called his manager for assistance. The manager patiently explained everything to me, and I really appreciated what he did. However, as the manager explained the steps, I couldn’t help but notice the teller’s lack of engagement. Instead of absorbing the guidance, he occupied himself with something else. What struck me most was the manager’s passive response to this behavior. Rather than encouraging the teller to focus on his instruction attentively, he simply completed the task himself and returned to his office. On my way home reflecting on the situation, I realized that the manager failed to use a preventive method. This might lead to the teller’s asking for help again in the future, causing the manager to repeatedly leave his desk to manage the same issues. This would definitely interrupt the manager’s routine work and waste his precious time, which could otherwise be better spent on his core duties. Obviously, if the root cause of the problem is not solved, such situation will happen more than once again, and it will potentially affect customer satisfaction. This experience reveals a fundamental truth: It is a must to enable people to handle tasks independent of external assistance. We shouldn’t emphasize the significance of having a clear vision too much. It involves predicting future needs and making the right moves to solve them. Thus, we should begin with the end in mind, planning for long-term success. After all, sustainable success begins not with fixing today’s issues, but with preventing tomorrow’s. 4. Why did the teller turn to the manager for help? A. He was busy with other affairs. B. The procedure was too complex. C. He had uncertainty as a new employee. D. The matter was not in the charge of him. 5. What kind of help did the manager offer to the teller? A. Absolute replacement. B. Passive response. C. Professional guidance. D. Sincere encouragement. 6. What key strategy does the author recommend to solve such issues? A. Making a further plan about regulation. B. Emphasizing the importance of prevention. C. Having a clear vision of personal development. D. Cultivating independence through empowerment. 7. Which of the following proverbs best matches the main idea of the text? A. Many hands make light work. B. Nothing is difficult to the man who will try. C. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst. D. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. C Drone delivery company Wing has temporarily paused deliveries to the Canberra suburb of Harrison after a nesting raven (乌鸦) dived to a drone delivering coffee. It has aroused an interesting dichotomy: If such deliveries are the carbon-friendly future, can birds and drones coexist, or should actions be taken to relieve any ill-effects of drones on wildlife? In recent years, drones have become increasingly popular, with more and more people taking them to explore more unknown areas and research wildlife. However, drones can pose a threat to birds, especially if flown too close to their nests, as birds may view them as predators or threats and attack them or abandon their nests, leading to a decline in bird populations in some areas. In some cases, drones have been reported to cause direct harm to birds by interfering with their flight patterns. Additionally, drones cause noise pollution and disrupt birds’ natural habitats and behavior. Weston, the professor of wildlife conservation at Deakin University says birds attacking drones is also not rare. “Deakin releases a study of 275 drone pilots showing that almost 20% reported physical contact between their drone and a bird. So it’s a problem.” he says. Birdlife Australia’s Sean Dooley says it’s hard to be sure if birds mistake drones for other birds, or simply recognise them as a threat. It’s about drone delivery companies having a sustainable business model without losing too many drones. Dooley is keen to stress what a favor drones are for conservationists. “When properly used, they’ re great to accurately count colonies of endangered birds in inaccessible areas.” he says. Prof Weston says a centralised recording of all wildlife and drone interactions will help inform solutions. Weston calls for standardised protocols, agreed no-fly zones and better training for drone operators on what to do when an aggressive encounter happens. 8. What does the underlined word “dichotomy” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Conclusion. B. Division. C. Perspective. D. Conflict. 9. What is a potential risk of drones to birds? A. Birds may be attacked by drones. B. Drones may destroy the birds’ nests. C. Birds might suffer behavioral disorders. D. Drones may limit the birds’s access to food. 10. What is Scan Dooley’s attitude towards the use of drones in protection efforts? A. Negative. B. Ambiguous. C. Indifferent. D. Optimistic. 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Drone delivery services: A future trend B. Birds VS drones: The battle for the sky C. Technology PK wildlife: Threats of balance D. The rescue of the birds: Standardised drones D How unpleasant should children’s books be? In the Grimms’ day, the answer was very. Though, as is pointed out, their stories were not really intended for children. The Grimms were linguists, not novelists; their aim was protection, not entertainment. As narrative naturalists, they wanted to pick Germany’s native species of story from its fields and press them between the pages of their books before such tales went extinct under the background of industrialiasation. The aim might have been scholarly, but the result was an unexpected children’s bestseller. But not everyone approved: early readers complained about the darkness. The famous “happily ever after” ending changed into the glummer “And if they haven’t died, they’re still alive.” The Grimms replied quickly: Take the dark bits away from children’s books and you may as well “blindfold” youngsters so they cannot see at all. A look at the bestseller chart shows that books that sell sweetness do well. One ever-popular title is “Guess How Much I Love You”, in which Little Nutbrown Rabit spends his days trying to tell Big Nutbrown Rabit how much he loves him and does not experience a painful death. What’s more, in America in a recent decade, silly, scatological (粪便的) books, such as “The Fart (屁) that Changed the World”, also become more popular. Children’s literature has never been just for children. Adults happily read “Harry Potter”. All good children’s writers know that they are “writing for a double audience”, says Cressida Cowell, a former children’s laureate in Britain. The very best children’s books work on both levels. Children’s books are certainly not as dark as they were in the Grimms’ time, nor do they need to be. But perhaps more parents long for books for their children that better balance dark and light, and motivate happiness ever with big bad wolves. 12. Why did the Grimms create the Grimms’ srotries? A. To pursue literature achievements. B. To reveal the dark side of human nature. C. To provide amusement for children. D. To prevent the old stories from disappearing. 13. What did the Grimms think of the dark elements in their stories? A. It appealed to more readers. B. It deepened the children’s insights. C. It removed adults’ blind trust in society. D. It was a unique writing style for scholars. 14. Which kind of books are preferred by children in recent days? A. Positive or funny ones. B. Inspiring or meaningful ones. C. Terrifying or silly ones. D. Romantic or educational ones. 15. What would the best children’s books be like? A. Concentrating more on younger readers. B. Being free of negative and silly contents. C. Inspiring happiness with proper darkness. D. Motivating children’s comprehensive level. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Being kind has kind of gotten a bad fame recently. Maybe you’ve heard that if you are kind, people will take advantage of you or take you for granted. Or that no good deed goes unpunished. Yes, many people seem to somehow equal kindness to weakness or deficiency. But that’s missing the point. ____16____. Why do others not respect you and even try to take advantage of you? Usually, it’s more about them than you. Maybe they are fearful. Fear can do a number on people. ____17____. The “self-protection” forces them to prevent anyone from doing, basically, anything. Then they may have low self-esteem. Deep down, many people don’t believe that they actually deserve kindness. ____18____. Or they might have unresolved pain. When people are in pain, they may feel the need to blow up at others. And it may be casier to attack someone who is kind than someone who is mean. ____19____. Some people are genuine 100% all-natural, bad people. They can subscribe to the “it’s all about me, all the time” philosophy that ranks kindness somewhere below belly button lint in their list of things to be respected. All these are actually reasons why exhibiting genuine kindness is a sign of strength. It means you are able to overcome any type of fear, inferiority (自卑), or internal pain that you may have. ____20____. And you know you have the strength to overcome such thing. Helping others is not as easy but, frankly, is a lot more fulfilling. So, why not be more kind, genuinely kind? A. The fact is the opposite B. Actually, to be truly kind takes strength and power C. Another case is that they are actually self-centered guys D. It means you are willing to risk being taken advantage of E. It means you are driven by an internal compass but not an external one F. This feeling motivates them to wrap themselves in layers of defense mechanisms G. If you are acting kind to them, they may think there must be something wrong with you 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Parenting is a constant balancing act.

But I also _____32_____ her feelings. “I get it,” I told her. Sometimes we just want something new because it feels exciting. This _____33_____ the conversation and made her more willing to listen. Instead of a flat-out “no”, I suggested a compromise (妥协). I offered her three _____34_____: Earn it, wait it out or explore alternatives. That conversation wasn’t just about a phone case.

In fourth grade, my school had an orchestra program, and I eagerly signed up to learn the violin. I loved the idea of being in the orchestra and went to the music lessons every week. The orchestra teacher, Mr. Black, was strict. He told us that if we damaged our instruments, we’d be kicked out of the program because the school couldn’t afford the expensive pieces of the instrument. Unfortunately, I wasn’t very good at the violin. One day, while practicing, the bridge of my violin flew off and the strings broke. Scared of Mr. Black’s reaction, I tried to fix it myself with some glue. But when he saw my crooked bridge, he told me I couldn’t be in the orchestra anymore. Instead, he suggested I join the singing club. I did switch to the chorus club, where I stayed, thinking I had found my place. I enjoyed singing with others, even though I didn’t have a great voice. And as luck would have it, the elementary school sing club automatically fed into the junior high chorus. We had lots of chances to give performances. Instead of a violinist, I became a singer in an orchestra. Don’t be confused. My singing was not outstanding, but in the midst of so many others, I could blend (融合). One Monday after a big performance, my English teacher Ms. Rose asked if anyone was interested in writing an article about his or her singing experience. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1.

Ms. Rose looked surprised but pleased. She handed me a notebook and asked me to write down my thoughts and feelings about the performance. I was thrilled. That night, I poured my heart into the article, describing how I had felt nervous before the performance but how singing with my friends had made me feel brave and alive. When I finished, I realized that I had enjoyed writing more than I had ever enjoyed singing. The next day, I handed in the article, and Ms. Rose told me that it was excellent and that she would publish it. Paragraph 2. The following year I became the editor of the school newspaper, considering that I had found my calling. I loved every minute of it, from interviewing students and teachers to editing articles and designing layouts. I discovered that I had a talent for words and a passion for storytelling. Mr. Black, who had once told me I couldn’t play the violin, even came to one of my newspaper’s events and praised my work. I realized that sometimes, when one door closes, another opens, and it’s up to us to walk through it and find our true path. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
