Born in 1958,Han's passion for table tennis started at a young age.A mix of talent and constant dedication brought him to junior tournament victories and eventually,to an enviable spot in the national team.Apart from being a professional table tennis player,he also brought out the best in himself as an exceptional coach. China has dispatched()coaches in sports to enhance the competitiveness of nations far and wide since the 1950s.As one of them,Han embarked on a 12-year coaching journey in Tunisia in 1984.Under his guidance,Tunisia's table tennis team amazed the African continent,leading to a historic milestone when four Tunisian players were admitted into the 1988 Olympics,representing a quarter of the continent's quota()at the time. In the 1990s,France was in a golden era of table tennis,led by the persistent Jean- Philippe Gatien,whose rise as Olympic runner-up and world champion promised a period of French dominance in the sport.The French team,made up of Gatien,Patrick Chila, Christophe Legout and Damien Eloi,achieved remarkable achievements in the World Cup and World Championships.However,as they retired in the early years of this century,no such achievements were achieved in the once-mighty team,causing the French Table Tennis Federation(FFTT)to seek a savior to restore the nation to its former glory.

Fog is a type of weather condition that doesn't last long.Pashby notes it makes the familiar world scem odd and unscttling,which explains why numerous tales of magic are associated with fog.Each chapter of the book describes her fog-hunting trip,as well as discussions of local history,gcography,art,literature and sense of place with her black-and- white photos. Pashby's personal stories run through the book,from her childhood memories of playing in Dartmoor's sudden fog to current life in fog-prone(容易起雾的)Cotswolds.On her journeys,she also explores her "fog self",a concept described by poet Alice Oswald, reflecting her absorption in fog.Fog enables Pashby to see things differently and welcome the unknown.She sees it as a"visual representation of dreams".The book combines science with engaging contents on history,nature and personal experiences.We learn new names of fog and much about the relationship between fog and art.Pashby discusses how fog influenced the Impressionists like Monet,and how writers from Dickens to Wilde used fog as characters.She believes creative thoughts are brought about by fog's transformative power. I wish for more about fog in urban settings.Edinburgh and London were overshadowed by the northeast coast's sea fog and Thames'mists.Pashby describes the London smog in 1952,but doesn't mention the influences on human bodies of 21st-century air pollution worsened by cold winter fog,which,besides affecting visibility,is linked to an increase in some diseases,especially among those with underlying conditions. In the final chapter,Pashby and her father visit Venice for its special fog,which feels out of place.This journey could suit a second book on sea fogs in places like San Francisco and Namibia's coast or the great urban smog of India.Based on the completion of Chasing Fog,what an adventure such a book would be! 28.What is the main theme of Chasing Fog? A.Pashby's deep fondness for fog. B.Pashby's journey and search for fog. C.Fog's role in tales and legends. D.Fog's features in various settings. 29.Why does fog appeal to Pashby? A.It reveals local history and inspires art. B.It fuels creativity and offers new views. C.It reminds her of childhood adventures. D.It provides inviting contents for writing. 30.What does the author hope to see in the book? A.Impacts of winter fog on health. B.Details of fog in rural areas. C.Associations between fog and air quality. D.Causes of the London smog. 英语试题第5页（共10页） 扫描全能王创建 31.What does the author think of the final chapter? A.It is too hard to comprehend. B.It matches the theme badly. C.It is nothing but an adventure story. D.It reflects reality of the cities. 0 How people communicate with one another varies wildly from culture to culture.In our fully globalized times,it is more essential than ever to understand these differences and where they come from.One way to obtain such an understanding is through the concept of high-context and low-context cultures,developed by Edward T.Hall. High-context cultures use communication that focuses on underlying context,meaning, and tones in the message,and not just the words themselves.On the contrary,low-context cultures expect the content of communication to be evidently stated so that there's no risk of confusion,and if a message isn't clear enough,it will slow down the process of communication.In the most extreme cases,leaving any sort of wiggle room for interpretation can be catastrophic(灾难性的). Although it can be a complex characteristic whether a culture is high-context or low- context,it can determine many other aspects of a particular culture.For example,in a high- context culture,similarity is an crucial characteristic.This is because the majority of the population in high-context cultures typically have the same level of education,as well as a shared ethnicity,religion,and history.Through these shared experiences,messages can be contextualized by assuming an audience will think in the same way and follow the hidden message in someone's speech or writing.In low-context cultures,the opposite is true.Low- context cultures are usually diverse,and focus on the individual,instead of the group. Communication must be basic enough to allow for as many people to understand it as possible. Just as communication in general is different for high-context and low-context cultures, the forms of communication also vary.Generally,high-context cultures prefer oral communication,while low-context cultures favor written communication.When it comes to emails,texts,and online messaging,it is more common to send brief and frequent messages in low-context cultures.Low-context cultures also want the communication to focus on basic questions,like:What's happening?Where's it happening?When's it going to happen?How's it going to happen?High-context cultures will tend to move in the other direction,with a focus on longer forms of communication that don't always focus on basic questions. 32.How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A.By making an assumption. B.By analyzing the present situation. C.By sharing the history of a theory. D.By making a comparison. 33.What do the underlined words "wiggle room"in paragraph 2 mean? A.The freedom to make changes. B.The need for additional knowledge. C.The chance to reject dialogues D.The desire for less confusion. 英语试题第6页（共10页） 扫描全能王创建 34.Why do high-context cultures possess the feature of similarity? A.Personal interests give way to group interests. B.Speakers seek to make themselves fully understood. C.Individuals try to narrow differences and bridge gaps. D.Collective experiences shape the same way of thinking. 35.How do high-context and low-context cultures differ in the forms of communication? A.High-context cultures pursue politeness. B.High-context cultures barely chat online C.Low-context cultures care about the results. D.Low-context cultures prefer simple exchanges. 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。 Visiting a science museum is a highly underrated leisure activity.Many people believe that museums are where you go to see the remains of dinosaurs and learn more about the evolution of man.However,this is merely the tip of the iceberg.36 Below are some benefits of making a trip to a science museum. Get access to learning resources.37 At any science museum,you can find tons of materials..They're offered to promote science literacy(科学素养)of people of various ages, education levels and backgrounds.Kids can even get involved in lessons to gain scientific knowledge.

Attend fun-filled summer camps.Most people don't know this,but some science museums have summer camp programs for kids of all ages.39 Kids can not.only acquire some useful life skills but also make new friends there.Meanwhile,abilities like independence can be developed. 40 It's very likely that you will engage in some interactive programs and exhibitions when you visit a science museum.Exhibition halls like planetariums()show explorers the wonders of science and the universe.Some other halls also encourage visitors to actively participate in the exploration of scientific concepts and phenomena by permitting them to touch,handle,and experiment with various objects and exhibits.

For years,Vanessa had wanted to repair their aging roof,fearing it wouldn't withstand heavy rain or snow.However,her husband had always dismissed her concerns,insisting that the roof was in good condition. But after her husband's sudden and tragic accident,Vanessa's worries grew.She became increasingly fearful of losing her cherished home to the forces of nature.She decided to hire a team of workers to fix her roof once and for all.She treated the workers well,cooking meals and bringing them drinks she'd made herself. Among the workers,only Joseph,the youngest in the group,truly showed kindness and compassion towards Vanessa.He'd sometimes stay after work to help her fix some things at home for free.Joseph's soft spot for Vanessa sprang from his past.Having grown up as an orphan(L)and never having known his own parents,he deeply appreciated Vanessa's care and wanted to give back in any way he could. On the final day of repairing the roof,one worker named Josh made a surprising discovery.Hidden beneath one of the layers of roofing,he found a wooden box.Excitedly, he called over the other workers to take a look.Eager to uncover the secrets within,one of the workers used a hammer to break the lock.As they opened the box,their eyes widened in astonishment.Inside,they found a lot of gold jewelry,a large sum of money,and a letter from Vanessa's late husband to her. Overwhelmed by the unexpected treasure,Josh exclaimed,"We've hit the jackpot, guys!This is our lucky day!"Immediately,another worker suggested they secretly divide the fortune amongst themselves,planning to store it in their cars until they left the house. However,Joseph disagreed."That wouldn't be right,"he said."These items could be important heirlooms(传家宝)to Vanessa.”Josh,shaking his head,responded,“Come on, Joseph,why would an elderly woman without a family need all these things?" 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。 However,Joseph couldn't shake off the feeling that it was his responsibility to do the right thing.
