Mozambique rice farm for eight years since my arrival in 2013. Before that, I worked as a technician at a farm near my hometown in Hubei province. In the beginning, there were just a few local workers on the farm. Since 2015, many villagers living near the farm have been recruited, and I have been guiding them as they have little knowledge on how to grow rice properly. Nowadays, almost all the farmers who grow rice on the farm are locals. The most difficult part of the training is communication. At first, I did not know how to speak any Portuguese, the official language of Mozambique. But even if I did know, it still may not have helped as most farmers cannot speak the language either. Sometimes, it seems like they cannot understand each other well too, as they speak different local languages. So, I had to use gestures to try to make myself understood and teach them, and after some time I found that it worked. Now, I can speak a little of the local language, but sometimes I still have to make great efforts when guiding the local farmers to do certain work such as the proper way to apply herbicides. Another difficulty is the differences in natural conditions between Mozambique and China. For example, soil in the farm is very soft and quickly dissolves in water, which is quite different from the soil in China. This caused great difficulties for us in the beginning when we were building water canals to irrigate the rice paddies, as the canal banks kept collapsing with water. Luckily, the soil in the farm is very fertile and not polluted, so it is easier to yield good harvests with proper farming and management. In addition to having better harvests, many locals who work on the farm have also earned more income through employment. Over the past eight years, I have seen many Chinese colleagues come and go. They usually work for about one or two years here. However, I am determined to stay as I have taken to the place and the locals, who have shown great respect to us believing we are here to help them. 4. What does the underlined word “recruited” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Directed. B. Instructed. C. Employed. D. Forced. 5. Why did the author consider communication to be the most challenging part of training? A. Because of official-language barrier and local-language diversity. B. Because of the extreme difficulty in learning the official language. C. Because of the locals’ unwillingness to communicate with foreigners. D. Because of the locals’ preference for communicating with gestures. 6. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. The local soil was suitable for building water canals to irrigate the rice paddies. B. The author harvested both grains and friendships on the mission far from home. C. Besides growing rice, the local people planted cash crops to earn more money. D. Similar soil conditions between China and Mozambique led to the rice harvest. 7. Which words best describe the author? A. Stubborn and smart. B. Strong-willed and dedicated. C. Ambitious and brave. D. Peace-loving and generous. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者在莫桑比克万宝水稻农场工作的经历，包括工作中的挑战、当地的变化及作者的坚守。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Since 2015, many villagers living near the farm have been recruited, and I have been guiding them as they have little knowledge on how to grow rice properly.(2015年以来，农场附近的许多村民被recruited，由于他们不太懂如何正确种植水稻，我一直在指导他们)”以及后文提到当地村民在农场工作可推断，“recruited”意为“雇佣”，与“Employed”意思相近。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“At first, I did not know how to speak any Portuguese, the official language of Mozambique. But even if I did know, it still may not have helped as most farmers cannot speak the language either. Sometimes, it seems like they cannot understand each other well too, as they speak different local languages.(起初，我不会说莫桑比克的官方语言葡萄牙语。但即使我会说，也可能无济于事，因为大多数农民也不会说这种语言。有时，由于他们说不同的当地语言，彼此似乎也不能很好地理解对方)”可知，作者认为沟通是培训中最具挑战性的部分，是因为存在官方语言障碍和当地语言的多样性。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Luckily, the soil in the farm is very fertile and not polluted, so it is easier to yield good harvests with proper farming and management.(幸运的是，农场的土壤非常肥沃且没有污染，因此通过适当的耕种和管理更容易获得好收成)”以及最后一段中的“However, I am determined to stay as I have taken to the place and the locals, who have shown great respect to us believing we are here to help them.(然而，我决心留下来，因为我已经喜欢上了这个地方和当地居民，他们对我们非常尊重，相信我们是来帮助他们的)”可知，作者在异国他乡的工作中既收获了粮食，也收获了友谊。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In addition to having better harvests, many locals who work on the farm have also earned more income through employment. Over the past eight years, I have seen many Chinese colleagues come and go. They usually work for about one or two years here. However, I am determined to stay as I have taken to the place and the locals, who have shown great respect to us believing we are here to help them.(除了获得更好的收成，许多在农场工作的当地人也通过就业增加了收入。过去八年来，我看到许多中国同事来了又走。他们通常在这里工作一两年左右。然而，我决心留下来，因为我已经喜欢上了这个地方和当地居民，他们对我们非常尊重，相信我们是来帮助他们的)”可知，作者在许多同事离开的情况下仍决心留下，体现了他意志坚定；同时，他多年来指导当地村民种植水稻，帮助他们提高收入，表现出他对工作的奉献精神。因此，“意志坚定且乐于奉献”最能描述作者。故选B项。 C Earthquakes are terrifying, even if they are usually brief. Within a few seconds they can do widespread destruction, causing great structural damage, shifting landmasses, and triggering tsunamis. Not all earthquakes are so short-lived, either. Earthquakes can last for minutes and even longer. Some slow-slip events, which may be related to earthquakes, can even last decades. What causes an earthquake to last so long? In 2004, a 9.1 to 9.3 magnitude earthquake rocked the Indonesian island of Sumatra. A quarter of a million people died or went missing in the tsunami that followed. It was one of the strongest and longest earthquakes recorded, with shaking lasting for 10 minutes. The 1960 Valdivia earthquake in Chile was the strongest ever recorded, with a magnitude from 9.4 to 9.6. The fault (断层) that ruptured was anywhere from 500 to 1,000 km long, and the resulting earthquake left about 2 million people homeless. Both of these were what is called megathrust earthquakes, and they happen when one tectonic plate (大陆板块) slips under another. As one plate sinks, sometimes it gets stuck. Tension builds as the plates accumulate energy. Eventually, this tension is released. These are the world’s most powerful earthquakes, and unfortunately, they are often some of the longest as well. In general, the stronger the earthquake, the longer it is. As a general rule, the size and duration of an earthquake depend on the length of the fault that slips. When an earthquake begins, we do not necessarily know how big it will be or how long it will last. “You can think about an earthquake like a crack that grows over time,” explains an American geophysicist. “Like on your windshield, you get a little crack and then it grows, it grows, it grows. Well, an earthquake essentially does the same thing.” While earthquakes are terrifying to live through, they are also a sign of a dynamic and living planet. Understanding where, when, how strong, and how long earthquakes are can help us to better understand why they happen. Perhaps one day, we may even be able to predict them. 8. According to the passage, what kind of destruction may earthquakes bring? A. Great structural damage and climate change. B. Landmass shifts and tsunami occurrence. C. Species extinction and water pollution. D. People’s homelessness and global warming. 9. How is Paragraph 3 developed? A. By providing definitions or explanations. B. By making comparisons and contrasts. C. By using a narrative or chronological order. D By explaining the cause and effect. 10. Why are the physicist’s words mentioned in Paragraph 4? A. To remind us of the severity of cracks in the windshield. B. To prove the danger that earthquakes bring to humans. C. To help us better understand the nature of earthquakes. D. To emphasize the extremely long duration of earthquakes. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards earthquakes? A. Optimistic. B. Pessimistic. C. Objective. D. Indifferent. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍地震的持续时间、造成的破坏、成因及相关科学解释，强调对地震的研究意义。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Within a few seconds they can do widespread destruction, causing great structural damage, shifting landmasses, and triggering tsunamis.(短短几秒钟内，地震就能造成大范围破坏，导致严重的建筑结构损坏、地表板块位移，还会引发海啸)”可知，地震可能带来地表板块移动和海啸发生等破坏。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Both of these were what is called megathrust earthquakes, and they happen when one tectonic plate (大陆板块)slips under another. As one plate sinks, sometimes it gets stuck. Tension builds as the plates accumulate energy. Eventually, this tension is released.(这两次都是所谓的超大逆冲地震，当一个大陆板块滑到另一个之下时就会发生。当一个板块下沉时，有时会被卡住。随着板块积累能量，张力逐渐增大。最终，这种张力被释放出来)”可知，该段先说明超大逆冲地震的发生情况，再解释其成因（板块运动导致张力积累与释放），是通过因果关系展开的。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“As a general rule, the size and duration of an earthquake depend on the length of the fault that slips. When an earthquake begins, we do not necessarily know how big it will be or how long it will last. “You can think about an earthquake like a crack that grows over time,” explains an American geophysicist.(一般来说，地震的规模和持续时间取决于滑动断层的长度。地震开始时，我们并不一定知道它会有多大或持续多久。一位美国地球物理学家解释说：“你可以把地震想象成一条随时间不断扩大的裂缝。”)”可推知，引用物理学家的话是为了用裂缝扩大的比喻帮助读者更好地理解地震的本质（规模和持续时间随断层滑动而变化）。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其第一段中“Earthquakes are terrifying, even if they are usually brief. Within a few seconds they can do widespread destruction, causing great structural damage, shifting landmasses, and triggering tsunamis.(地震是可怕的，即便它们通常很短暂。短短几秒钟内，地震就能造成大范围破坏，导致严重的建筑结构损坏、地表板块位移，还会引发海啸)”客观描述了地震的恐怖和破坏性。结合最后一段提到“While earthquakes are terrifying to live through, they are also a sign of a dynamic and living planet. Understanding where, when, how strong, and how long earthquakes are can help us to better understand why they happen. Perhaps one day, we may even be able to predict them.(虽然经历地震很可怕，但它们也是地球充满活力的标志。了解地震发生的地点、时间、强度和持续时间，有助于我们更好地理解其发生的原因。也许有一天，我们甚至能够预测地震)”可知，作者既没有对地震表现出乐观或悲观的情绪，也没有表现出冷漠，而是从事实出发，既说明地震的危害，也阐述其作为地球动态的体现及研究价值，整体态度客观中立。故选C项。 D Given the stressful nature of work in cities and the fast-paced urban life, after-work hours have become an important time for people to relieve some of the stress and meet their social and recreational needs. As summer temperatures rise, so does the night-time economy. What makes up the night-time economy is essentially urban people’s consumption from 6:00 in the evening to 6:00 the next morning. Data show that post-normal working hours are the “prime time” for consumption in urban areas. For example, the sales of large shopping malls from 6 pm to 10 pm account for more than half of the whole day total. On Taobao, the peak transaction time is between 9 pm and 10 pm, with night-time consumption accounting for more than 36 percent of the all-day total. Also, the peak visiting time on short video websites such as TikTok and Kwai is from 9 pm to 11 pm. And the orders for food and beverage takeaways between 10 pm and 1 am the next day have increased significantly. Major cities in China and abroad have introduced many measures in recent years to promote the night-time economy, with Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin and Chongqing issuing several policies and developing world-class consumption centers to promote the night-time economy. And cities such as Hangzhou, Nanjing, Hefei, Xi’an, Chengdu, Wuhan and Changsha have introduced various promotional activities to boost night-time consumption. More than 40 foreign cities have issued policies related to the night-time economy. In fact, many cities boast of a rich night life and use their thriving night-time economy to attract foreign tourists. Now that the consumer market is firmly on the recovery path in China, the night-time economy can meet people’s social and recreational needs, facilitate the development of the service sector, and increase domestic demand. Thanks to consumption upgrading, the consumption of cultural, sports, entertainment and tourism services continues to increase. The night-time economy not only offers local residents increasing consumption options such as shopping, meeting places and entertainment venues, but also provides unique experiences like performances and events to meet the diverse needs of different consumer groups. 12. When is the peak period for consumption in urban areas? A. After regular working hours. B. During normal working hours. C. In the early morning hours. D. During the midday hours. 13. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A. In China, cities adopt the same strategy for economy promotion. B. Night-time economy is a growing trend both in China and abroad. C. Many cities leverage foreign tourists to improve the city’s charm. D. The night-time economy has already dominated the entire economy. 14. Which of the following is the result of consumption upgrading? A. The increase in local residents’ income. B. The rising consumption of sports service. C. The decline in local consumption options. D. The growth of urban residents’ stress in life. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Night-Time Entertainment Attracts More Tourists. B. Night-Time Economy Focuses on Urban Residents. C. Government Policies Support Night-Time Economy. D. Night-Time Economy Can Help Boost Consumption. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍夜间经济的构成、各地促进夜间经济的举措及其对消费和经济的积极作用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Data show that post-normal working hours are the “prime time” for consumption in urban areas.(数据显示，正常工作时间之后是城市消费的“黄金时段”)”可知，城市消费的高峰期是在常规工作时间之后。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Major cities in China and abroad have introduced many measures in recent years to promote the night-time economy, with Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin and Chongqing issuing several policies and developing world-class consumption centers to promote the night-time economy.(近年来，中国国内外的主要城市推出了多项措施来促进夜间经济，其中北京、上海、广州、天津和重庆发布了多项政策，并着力打造世界级消费中心，以推动夜间经济的发展)以及“More than 40 foreign cities have issued policies related to the night-time economy.(40多个外国城市出台了与夜间经济相关的政策)”可知，无论是中国还是国外，都在积极推动夜间经济的发展，由此可以推断出夜间经济在中国和国外都呈现出增长趋势。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Thanks to consumption upgrading, the consumption of cultural, sports, entertainment and tourism services continues to increase.(得益于消费升级，文化、体育、娱乐和旅游服务消费持续增长)”可知，消费升级带来的结果之一是体育服务消费的增长。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，第一段引出夜间经济随夏季升温而发展的话题，第二段介绍夜间经济的构成及消费高峰，第三段说明国内外城市促进夜间经济的举措，第四段强调夜间经济对满足需求、促进服务业发展和扩大内需的作用。整体围绕夜间经济对消费的推动展开，D选项“夜间经济有助于促进消费”为文章的最佳标题。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 The core of an admirable life is respect.

When you respect yourself and others, you behave in a way that sets a high standard.(令人钦佩的生活的核心是尊重。当你尊重自己和他人时，你的行为方式就会设定高标准)”可知，上文提到了当你尊重自己和他人时，你的行为方式就会设定高标准，由此本句是在说明这一行为所带来的结果和影响。故G选项“你会做一些让自己感到自豪的事情，并激励别人也这样做”符合语境，故选G。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Learn to be comfortable in your own skin. The real purpose of your life is to evolve and grow into the whole person you are capable of being. It’s easy to get off the path and spend your time trying to be someone you think you're supposed to be, but any effort to change yourself for other people is bound to be worthless.(学会对自己本来的样子感到舒适。你生活的真正目的是进化和成长为一个完整的你有能力成为的人。我们很容易偏离正道，把时间花在成为你认为自己应该成为的人上，但任何为了别人而改变自己的努力都注定是毫无价值的)”可知，上文提到把时间花在成为你认为自己应该成为的人上，即强调做真实的自己。故C选项“你能做的就是做真实的自己”符合语境，故选C。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Stop pleasing others despite yourself. How many wasted years, months, and days have you spent trying to please others?(不要不顾自己的意愿去取悦别人。为了取悦别人，你浪费了多少年、多少月、多少天？)”可知，上文建议不要取悦别人，即让别人快乐，故F选项“让每个人都快乐从来都不是你的责任”符合语境，故选F。 【19题详解】 根据本段内容“Take risks and be bold.

Harbin’s charm ____45____ (lie) not only in its natural beauty but also in its unique cultural experience. Whether you love ice art or history, this city will leave you unforgettable memories. 【答案】36. which 37. to celebrate 38. held##having been held 39. largest 40. The 41. characters 42. that 43. reflecting 44. to 45. lies 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了哈尔滨作为“冰城”，每年冬季的冰雪节吸引大量游客，节上有令人惊叹的冰雕，同时还介绍了哈尔滨的俄罗斯风格建筑，其独特魅力源于自然美景与文化体验。 【36题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：哈尔滨，被誉为“冰城”，是中国东北黑龙江省的省会。此处为非限制性定语从句，先行词为Harbin，指物，在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which引导该定语从句。故填which。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：每年冬天，这座城市吸引数百万游客来庆祝其著名的冰雪节。此处表示目的，吸引游客的目的是庆祝冰雪节，所以用动词不定式to celebrate作目的状语。故填to celebrate。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这个节日自1985年开始举办，展示了令人惊叹的冰雕，这些冰雕在夜晚被点亮，营造出一种神奇的氛围。句子已有谓语动词displays，hold需用非谓语形式。hold与逻辑主语The festival之间是被动关系，且根据时间状语since 1985可知，动作从过去持续到现在，所以既可用过去分词held表被动完成，也可用现在分词的完成被动式having been held表被动且动作先于主句谓语动词发生。故填held/having been held。 【39题详解】 考查形容词最高级。句意：漫步在节日中，游客可以欣赏到世界上最大的冰建筑，有些高达40多米。根据“in the world”以及语境可知，此处表示“最大的”，应用形容词最高级largest。故填largest。 【40题详解】 考查冠词。句意：这些由才华横溢的艺术家雕刻的雕塑，通常描绘著名的地标或神话中的人物。此处的sculptures特指前文提到的冰雕，所以用定冠词the，句首单词首字母大写。故填The。 【41题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：这些由才华横溢的艺术家雕刻的雕塑，通常描绘著名的地标或神话中的人物。character意为“人物”，是可数名词，根据语境，神话中的人物不止一个，所以用复数形式characters作宾语。故填characters。 【42题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：许多人说这个节日是他们见过的最令人印象深刻的冬季活动。此处为连接词引导的宾语从句，作say的宾语，从句中不缺少成分，且句意完整，所以用连接词that，只起连接作用，无实际意义。故填that。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：除了这个节日，哈尔滨还以其俄罗斯风格的建筑而闻名，这反映了它与俄罗斯的历史联系。句子已有谓语动词is famous for，reflect需用非谓语形式。reflect与前面整个句子之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词reflecting作结果状语，表示自然而然的结果。故填reflecting。 【44题详解】 考查介词。句意：在冬天，气温可能会降到零下30摄氏度，所以游客应该穿上最厚的衣服来保暖。drop to为固定搭配，意为“下降到”，所以此处填to。故填to。 【45题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：哈尔滨的魅力不仅在于它的自然美景，还在于它独特的文化体验。此处描述客观事实，用一般现在时，主语Harbin’s charm是单数，所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式lies。故填lies。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你的新西兰好友Doris请你录制一个体育活动的小短片，作为汉语课上展示的素材。请你给她写一封电子邮件，内容包括： 1.陈述你的拍摄内容； 2.征求对方意见并附上视频。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Dear Doris, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】One possible version: Dear Doris, I'm glad to know that you are learning Chinese and need a short video of our PE as material.

The pub had first been run by my great-grandfather, Walter, back in 1913 and then he sold it. In the late 1940s, my grandfather bought it back. Having spent so much time there as a kid, 1 thought it was a great place to work in. Grandfather’s cheerful smile and comforting voice made those years precious to me. Unfortunately, grandfather died from a heart attack and the pub was eventually sold to a family, which meant I had to find work elsewhere. I then got a job at the local hospital and enjoyed it, though nothing felt the same as working for one’s own family. Aged 20, I connected with a man named Craig. Later we got married. Running a sheep property kept us busy, but one thing stayed on my mind. “I’d love to buy back the pub one day,” I said to Craig. Part of me still longed for the days of being behind the bar and welcoming customers with a smile, just like my grandfather had. In 2014, the pub came on the market again, so Craig and I went for it. Our offer was successful. Running it again was like stepping back in time; nothing much had changed, and I enjoyed slipping into my old job. But Craig and I had plans to expand. We used our savings and did some renovations (翻新), like putting in a beer garden outside and building more motel (汽车旅馆) rooms. I felt like I was not only doing a great business, but also keeping alive our family tradition. In February 2021, I went to the neighboring state to get some supplies and on the way back, I got a call from Craig. “There’s been a fire at the pub,” he cried. Being hours away was hard as I didn't know how bad the damage was. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When I returned home and saw it with my own eyes, I broke down. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “We’re going to rebuild it,” I said to Craig, firmly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 When I returned home and saw it with my own eyes, I broke down. The pub was reduced to a pile of ashes, with only the charred walls standing as a silent testament to its former self. The smell of smoke still lingered in the air, mixing with my tears. Craig stood there, equally devastated, as we surveyed the ruins. In that moment, it felt like all our dreams and efforts had gone up in flames. “We’re going to rebuild it,” I said to Craig, firmly. Despite the overwhelming loss, something inside me refused to give up. The pub wasn’t just a business. It was a part of our family’s legacy, a place where memories were made and traditions were kept alive. We would not let this define the end of our story. With determination in our hearts, we began the long process of reconstruction. We reached out to friends, family, and even the community for support. Together, we worked tirelessly, rebuilding each brick, each beam, with love and resilience. And when the dust settled, the Tibooburra Pub stood again, not just as a building, but as a symbol of hope and the enduring spirit of our family. 【解析】 【导语】本文以时间为线索展开，讲述了作者家族与Tibooburra酒吧的渊源，作者后来买下酒吧并进行翻新，然而酒吧遭遇火灾，之后作者决心重建的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句“当我回到家亲眼看到它时，我崩溃了。”可知，第一段可描写作者看到酒吧被烧毁后的惨状以及自己和丈夫的悲痛心情。 ②由第二段首句“‘我们要重建它，’我坚定地对克雷格说。”可知，第二段可描写作者坚定重建酒吧的原因以及重建的过程和决心。 2.续写线索：看到惨状——崩溃——决心重建——酒吧意义——寻求支持——重建成功 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①沦为：be reduced to/become/turn into ②调查：survey/examine ③向……寻求帮助：reach out to/turn to 情绪类 ①伤心：devastated/heartbroken/sorrowful ②爱：love/affection 【点睛】[高分句型1] It was a part of our family’s legacy, a place where memories were made and traditions were kept alive.

Mozambique rice farm for eight years since my arrival in 2013. Before that, I worked as a technician at a farm near my hometown in Hubei province. In the beginning, there were just a few local workers on the farm. Since 2015, many villagers living near the farm have been recruited, and I have been guiding them as they have little knowledge on how to grow rice properly. Nowadays, almost all the farmers who grow rice on the farm are locals. The most difficult part of the training is communication. At first, I did not know how to speak any Portuguese, the official language of Mozambique. But even if I did know, it still may not have helped as most farmers cannot speak the language either. Sometimes, it seems like they cannot understand each other well too, as they speak different local languages. So, I had to use gestures to try to make myself understood and teach them, and after some time I found that it worked. Now, I can speak a little of the local language, but sometimes I still have to make great efforts when guiding the local farmers to do certain work such as the proper way to apply herbicides. Another difficulty is the differences in natural conditions between Mozambique and China. For example, soil in the farm is very soft and quickly dissolves in water, which is quite different from the soil in China. This caused great difficulties for us in the beginning when we were building water canals to irrigate the rice paddies, as the canal banks kept collapsing with water. Luckily, the soil in the farm is very fertile and not polluted, so it is easier to yield good harvests with proper farming and management. In addition to having better harvests, many locals who work on the farm have also earned more income through employment. Over the past eight years, I have seen many Chinese colleagues come and go. They usually work for about one or two years here. However, I am determined to stay as I have taken to the place and the locals, who have shown great respect to us believing we are here to help them. 4. What does the underlined word “recruited” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Directed. B. Instructed. C. Employed. D. Forced. 5. Why did the author consider communication to be the most challenging part of training? A. Because of official-language barrier and local-language diversity. B. Because of the extreme difficulty in learning the official language. C. Because of the locals’ unwillingness to communicate with foreigners. D. Because of the locals’ preference for communicating with gestures. 6. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. The local soil was suitable for building water canals to irrigate the rice paddies. B. The author harvested both grains and friendships on the mission far from home. C. Besides growing rice, the local people planted cash crops to earn more money. D. Similar soil conditions between China and Mozambique led to the rice harvest. 7. Which words best describe the author? A. Stubborn and smart. B. Strong-willed and dedicated. C. Ambitious and brave. D. Peace-loving and generous. C Earthquakes are terrifying, even if they are usually brief. Within a few seconds they can do widespread destruction, causing great structural damage, shifting landmasses, and triggering tsunamis. Not all earthquakes are so short-lived, either. Earthquakes can last for minutes and even longer. Some slow-slip events, which may be related to earthquakes, can even last decades. What causes an earthquake to last so long? In 2004, a 9.1 to 9.3 magnitude earthquake rocked the Indonesian island of Sumatra. A quarter of a million people died or went missing in the tsunami that followed. It was one of the strongest and longest earthquakes recorded, with shaking lasting for 10 minutes. The 1960 Valdivia earthquake in Chile was the strongest ever recorded, with a magnitude from 9.4 to 9.6. The fault (断层) that ruptured was anywhere from 500 to 1,000 km long, and the resulting earthquake left about 2 million people homeless. Both of these were what is called megathrust earthquakes, and they happen when one tectonic plate (大陆板块) slips under another. As one plate sinks, sometimes it gets stuck. Tension builds as the plates accumulate energy. Eventually, this tension is released. These are the world’s most powerful earthquakes, and unfortunately, they are often some of the longest as well. In general, the stronger the earthquake, the longer it is. As a general rule, the size and duration of an earthquake depend on the length of the fault that slips. When an earthquake begins, we do not necessarily know how big it will be or how long it will last. “You can think about an earthquake like a crack that grows over time,” explains an American geophysicist. “Like on your windshield, you get a little crack and then it grows, it grows, it grows. Well, an earthquake essentially does the same thing.” While earthquakes are terrifying to live through, they are also a sign of a dynamic and living planet. Understanding where, when, how strong, and how long earthquakes are can help us to better understand why they happen. Perhaps one day, we may even be able to predict them. 8.

D Given the stressful nature of work in cities and the fast-paced urban life, after-work hours have become an important time for people to relieve some of the stress and meet their social and recreational needs. As summer temperatures rise, so does the night-time economy. What makes up the night-time economy is essentially urban people’s consumption from 6:00 in the evening to 6:00 the next morning. Data show that post-normal working hours are the “prime time” for consumption in urban areas. For example, the sales of large shopping malls from 6 pm to 10 pm account for more than half of the whole day total. On Taobao, the peak transaction time is between 9 pm and 10 pm, with night-time consumption accounting for more than 36 percent of the all-day total. Also, the peak visiting time on short video websites such as TikTok and Kwai is from 9 pm to 11 pm. And the orders for food and beverage takeaways between 10 pm and 1 am the next day have increased significantly. Major cities in China and abroad have introduced many measures in recent years to promote the night-time economy, with Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin and Chongqing issuing several policies and developing world-class consumption centers to promote the night-time economy. And cities such as Hangzhou, Nanjing, Hefei, Xi’an, Chengdu, Wuhan and Changsha have introduced various promotional activities to boost night-time consumption. More than 40 foreign cities have issued policies related to the night-time economy. In fact, many cities boast of a rich night life and use their thriving night-time economy to attract foreign tourists. Now that the consumer market is firmly on the recovery path in China, the night-time economy can meet people’s social and recreational needs, facilitate the development of the service sector, and increase domestic demand. Thanks to consumption upgrading, the consumption of cultural, sports, entertainment and tourism services continues to increase. The night-time economy not only offers local residents increasing consumption options such as shopping, meeting places and entertainment venues, but also provides unique experiences like performances and events to meet the diverse needs of different consumer groups. 12. When is the peak period for consumption in urban areas? A. After regular working hours. B. During normal working hours. C. In the early morning hours. D. During the midday hours. 13. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A. In China, cities adopt the same strategy for economy promotion. B. Night-time economy is a growing trend both in China and abroad. C. Many cities leverage foreign tourists to improve the city’s charm. D. The night-time economy has already dominated the entire economy. 14. Which of the following is the result of consumption upgrading? A. The increase in local residents’ income. B. The rising consumption of sports service. C. The decline in local consumption options. D. The growth of urban residents’ stress in life. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Night-Time Entertainment Attracts More Tourists. B. Night-Time Economy Focuses on Urban Residents. C. Government Policies Support Night-Time Economy. D. Night-Time Economy Can Help Boost Consumption. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 The core of an admirable life is respect.

I left school at 16 to work at the Tibooburra Pub, which had special significance for my family. The pub had first been run by my great-grandfather, Walter, back in 1913 and then he sold it. In the late 1940s, my grandfather bought it back. Having spent so much time there as a kid, 1 thought it was a great place to work in. Grandfather’s cheerful smile and comforting voice made those years precious to me. Unfortunately, grandfather died from a heart attack and the pub was eventually sold to a family, which meant I had to find work elsewhere. I then got a job at the local hospital and enjoyed it, though nothing felt the same as working for one’s own family. Aged 20, I connected with a man named Craig. Later we got married. Running a sheep property kept us busy, but one thing stayed on my mind. “I’d love to buy back the pub one day,” I said to Craig. Part of me still longed for the days of being behind the bar and welcoming customers with a smile, just like my grandfather had. In 2014, the pub came on the market again, so Craig and I went for it. Our offer was successful. Running it again was like stepping back in time; nothing much had changed, and I enjoyed slipping into my old job. But Craig and I had plans to expand. We used our savings and did some renovations (翻新), like putting in a beer garden outside and building more motel (汽车旅馆) rooms. I felt like I was not only doing a great business, but also keeping alive our family tradition. In February 2021, I went to the neighboring state to get some supplies and on the way back, I got a call from Craig. “There’s been a fire at the pub,” he cried. Being hours away was hard as I didn't know how bad the damage was. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When I returned home and saw it with my own eyes, I broke down. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “We’re going to rebuild it,” I said to Craig, firmly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
