However, people usually like one more than the other. These drinks also have very different uses. Tea drinking started in China over 4,000 years ago. Tea is made from leaves. These days, some people drink tea for health, using it to help with stress (压力) or losing weight. However, most people in tea-drinking countries think of tea as more than just a healthy drink. In fact, tea drinking in some countries is a part of the culture. In Turkey (土耳其), tea is always there when people meet. Whether in someone’s home or a company, tea is always offered as a way of welcoming. In the UK, homes and offices usually have tea time. Tea and other dishes are served at tea time in the afternoon. It is a way of relaxing with friends or co-workers (同事). Coffee came much later than tea, just over 1,000 years ago. Coffee is made from beans. Something in the coffee beans makes a person feel active. Most people do not drink coffee to relax. Instead, they drink coffee to get going. Many people drink coffee in the morning to help them wake up. Others will also drink coffee during short breaks in the afternoon to keep going through the working day. Some people may visit coffee shops just to meet and talk with friends. However, many people in coffee shops drink coffee while working on their computers.

Looking around Wuxi, you can often hear the beautiful sound of the erhu. The erhu was called the huqin at first, a musical instrument of ethnic (种族的) groups in northern China, and it dates more than a thousand years back to the Tang Dynasty. In modern times, with the development of operas, the huqin was renamed the erhu and it slowly spread throughout China. The erhu plays a leading role in many Chinese folk orchestras (管弦乐队) just as the violin does in Western orchestras. They are both made up of a body, a bridge, strings (弦) and a bow (弓). The performer usually holds the erhu straightly on the leg, ▲ and pressing the strings with his fingers, while drawing the bow with his right hand. As the bow runs against the strings and touches and shakes them, beautiful music comes. Not limited (限制) by just two strings, a good player can give the erhu amazing emotional expressions. It can present both soft, lovely songs and sad music. Sometimes it gives a human crying voice, and sometimes a great horse-running sound. Today, as a folk instrument, the erhu has been used more widely by communicating with Western musical instruments. In many international concerts, the erhu can be seen playing with different Western instruments, such as the piano, violin and guitar. This performance form not only adds new possibilities to music creation, but also brings richer enjoyment to the listeners. 36．Why is Wuxi known as the “Home of the erhu”? A．Because it is the birthplace of many erhu masters. B．Because we can hear the beautiful sound of the erhu there. C．Because the erhu was invented there. D．Because it has a long history of playing the erhu. 37．What does the underlined word “leading” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Very common. B．Very strange. C．Very interesting. D．Very important. 38．Which words can be put into the “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 3? A．Showing beautiful sounds B．Spreading around the world C．Holding the neck with his left hand D．Playing with Western instruments 39．Which of the following is TRUE? A．The huqin is different from the erhu. B．The erhu has a history of over 1,000 years. C．We can’t see the erhu in any international concerts. D．The erhu is made up of a body, a bridge and strings. 40．What’s the passage mainly about? A．The introduction to Wuxi. B．Chinese and Western orchestras. C．The introduction to the erhu. D．International concerts. 【答案】36．A 37．D 38．C 39．B 40．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国江苏省无锡市作为二胡的发源地，以及二胡的历史、结构和在现代音乐中的应用。 36．细节理解题。根据文章第1段“Wuxi City in eastern China’s Jiangsu Province is known as the ‘Home of the erhu’ because it is the birthplace of many erhu masters.”可知，无锡被称为“二胡之乡”是因为它是许多二胡大师的出生地。故选A。 37．词句猜测题。根据文章第2段“The erhu plays a leading role in many Chinese folk orchestras (管弦乐队) just as the violin does in Western orchestras”可知，二胡在中国民间管弦乐队中扮演着重要的角色，就像小提琴在西方管弦乐队中一样。因此，“leading”意为“非常重要的”。故选D。 38．细节理解题。根据文章第3段“The performer usually holds the erhu straightly on the leg, ... and pressing the strings with his fingers, while drawing the bow with his right hand.”可知，演奏者通常将二胡直立放在腿上，左手按住琴弦，右手拉弓，此处介绍拉二胡的动作，C项“用左手按住琴颈”符合语境。故选C。 39．细节理解题。根据文章第1段“The erhu was called the huqin at first, a musical instrument of ethnic groups in northern China, and it dates more than a thousand years back to the Tang Dynasty.”可知，二胡最初被称为胡琴，距今已有1000多年的历史，可追溯到唐朝。故选B。 40．主旨大意题。全文主要介绍了二胡的历史、结构及其在现代音乐中的应用，因此文章的主旨是对二胡的介绍。故选C。 C Passant teaches Chinese at the Confucius Institute of Cairo University (开罗大学孔子学院) in Egypt. She started learning Chinese because her dad thought it would be useful. However, Passant had problems learning Chinese. “Chinese is very different from my own language. So I had to work harder to learn it,” she said. With hard work, Passant became better at Chinese. In 2018, she got to study at Shandong University. During her studies, she became the only foreign student in a volunteer teaching team and went to Ji’an, Jiangxi Province, to teach for 10 days. Teaching made her want to be a Chinese teacher. In 2019, she won a big Chinese competition Foreign College Students. After she finished school in Cairo in September 2019, she went to Beijing Normal University to get more education. In 2021, she got her master’s degree and began teaching Chinese at the Confucius Institute of Cairo University. “Many people in Egypt are studying Chinese now,” said Passant. Today, Passant often tells her students stories about China and its culture during class. Like her, her students find it hard to say Chinese words, put sentences together, and write Chinese characters. She often tells them her tips for learning Chinese—practice a lot and not be afraid of challenges. She also shows them places of interest in Beijing such as the Great Wall. 41．The writer starts the passage by ________.

A．The Story of Cairo University B．Trip From Egypt to Studying Chinese C．From Learner to Teacher of Chinese D．Learning Chinese in Egypt 【答案】41．D 42．B 43．C 44．A 45．C 【导语】本文主要讲述埃及学生Passant克服困难，从学习中文到成为教师，传播中国文化。 41．细节理解题。根据“Passant teaches Chinese at the Confucius Institute of Cairo University in Egypt. She started learning Chinese because her dad thought it would be useful.”可知，直接介绍Passant的工作地点及身份，随后简要说明其学习中文的起因。故选D。 42．词义猜测题。根据“Chinese is very different from my own language. So I had to work harder to learn it,”可知“it”代指上文明确提到的“Chinese”。故选B。 43．细节理解题。根据“Like her, her students find it hard to say Chinese words, put sentences together, and write Chinese characters.”可知，她的学生和她一样，觉得说中文单词、造句和写中文很难，所以学习中文真的很难。故选C。 44．推理判断题。根据“In 2018, she got to study at Shandong University. During her studies, she became the only foreign student in a volunteer teaching team and went to ji’an”, “In 2019, she won a big Chinese competition Foreign College Students.”和“In 2021, she got her master’s degree”可知，2018年Passant在山东大学学习，后来在学习期间参加志愿者教学团队前往吉安；2019年她在外国大学生中文比赛中获胜；2021年取得了硕士学位，事情发展的顺序为④①③②。故选A。 45．最佳标题题。全文围绕Passant从因父亲建议学习中文，到克服困难、留学中国、成为中文教师的过程展开，核心脉络是“学习者→教师”的身份转变。故选C。 五、阅读还原（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） Have you ever met a British in person? If so, I bet (敢说) that person said sorry to you at least once! 46 Most Brits make sure they say sorry when they sneeze (打喷嚏)correct someone else’s mistake or are late for a meeting. But they also say sorry for the weather. And they often say sorry to you when you bump (碰撞)into them on the street. They say sorry when they can’t hear what you’re saying. 47 So just how many times a day does the Brit say sorry? According to a survey of more than 1, 000 Brits, the answer was eight. And one in eight Brits says sorry up to 20 times a day! 48 At first, it meant “painful, very upset and full of sorrow.” However, but this doesn’t mean we feel sorry more often. 49 It’s just a more polite way of saying.“We don’t really care, but we feel we should say something.” Some researchers think the popularity of saying sorry has something to do with the British class system (阶级制度). We apologize because we think we may have more advantages than those we are talking to. If you visit a British family, your host may say sorry to you several times a day. Don’t feel strange or embarrassed. We are really sorry for saying sorry all the time. 50 Sorry about that! 根据材料内容, 从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项, 使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 A．Wait, did I just say “sorry” twice in one sentence? B．“Sorry” comes from the Old English word “sarig”. C．They also say sorry before sitting down next to you. D．Usually, we say sorry as a way of showing good manners. E．“Sorry” is probably the most commonly heard word here in the U.K. 【答案】46．E 47．C 48．B 49．D 50．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了英国人在日常生活中频繁使用“对不起”这一表达方式。 46．根据下文“Most Brits make sure they say sorry when they sneeze correct someone else’s mistake or are late for a meeting. But they also say sorry for the weather. And they often say sorry to you when you bump into them on the street. They say sorry when they can’t hear what you’re saying.”可知，大多数英国人打喷嚏时都会说对不起。他们也对天气表示抱歉，他们经常向彼此道歉，所以选项E“‘对不起’可能是英国最常听到的单词。”符合语境，故选E。 47．根据下文“They say sorry when they can’t hear what you’re saying.”可知，此处在介绍英国人说对不起的几个场景，所以选项C“他们在坐到你旁边之前也会说对不起。”符合语境， 故选C。 48．根据下文“At first, it meant‘painful, very upset and full of sorrow.’”可知，这里在介绍“sorry”的最初的含义，因此选项B“‘Sorry’来自古英语单词‘sarig’。”符合语境, 故选B。 49．根据下文提到“It’s just a more polite way of saying.‘We don’t really care.’”可知, 有时候“sorry”只是一种更礼貌的说法,，选项D“我们通常说对不起是为了表示礼貌。”符合语境。故选D。 50．根据“We are really sorry for saying sorry all the time.”可知，作者在结尾处说“我们真的很抱歉一直说对不起”，所以选项A“等等，我刚刚在一个句子里说了两遍‘对不起’?”符合语境。故选A。 第 II 卷 非选择题 六、任务型阅读（共 4 小题；51-53 每小题2分，54 题4分；满分10分） 阅读短文,用英文填空或回答问题 （请注意每小题的词数要求）。 Julie was born in China 17 years ago. In 2012, she went to the USA with her family. As a high school student, she has found many differences between Chinese and Americans: About money Americans like to spend more than they have, so many of them are always in debt (欠债). But Chinese usually spend less than they have, so many of them always have money left in the bank. The American children themselves make their own money. Most Chinese kids always ask their parents for money. About education Many American students have less homework to do while many Chinese students have much. Many American girls take part in sports, dancing and singing groups while many Chinese girls take part in study groups. Many American parents think there is no need to send their children to an expensive school. It’s different in China. Many Chinese parents would do anything to send their children to expensive schools though their family isn’t rich enough. About friends Most American parents let their sons or daughters make friends by themselves. They never ask them about their friends while Chinese parents usually enjoy knowing more about their children’s friends in many ways, and usually stop them from staying out too late with friends. 51．Julie went to the USA at the age of .

However, people usually like one more than the other. These drinks also have very different uses. Tea drinking started in China over 4,000 years ago. Tea is made from leaves. These days, some people drink tea for health, using it to help with stress (压力) or losing weight. However, most people in tea-drinking countries think of tea as more than just a healthy drink. In fact, tea drinking in some countries is a part of the culture. In Turkey (土耳其), tea is always there when people meet. Whether in someone’s home or a company, tea is always offered as a way of welcoming. In the UK, homes and offices usually have tea time. Tea and other dishes are served at tea time in the afternoon. It is a way of relaxing with friends or co-workers (同事). Coffee came much later than tea, just over 1,000 years ago. Coffee is made from beans. Something in the coffee beans makes a person feel active. Most people do not drink coffee to relax. Instead, they drink coffee to get going. Many people drink coffee in the morning to help them wake up. Others will also drink coffee during short breaks in the afternoon to keep going through the working day. Some people may visit coffee shops just to meet and talk with friends. However, many people in coffee shops drink coffee while working on their computers. Is tea or coffee more common in your country? Between the two, which do you like to drink more? 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 31．Where did tea drinking start? A．In Japan. B．In China.

A．The Smells of Tea and Coffee B．The Prices of Tea and Coffee C．The Different Cultures of Tea and Coffee B Wuxi City in eastern China’s Jiangsu Province is known as the “Home of the erhu” because it is the birthplace of many erhu masters. Looking around Wuxi, you can often hear the beautiful sound of the erhu. The erhu was called the huqin at first, a musical instrument of ethnic (种族的) groups in northern China, and it dates more than a thousand years back to the Tang Dynasty. In modern times, with the development of operas, the huqin was renamed the erhu and it slowly spread throughout China. The erhu plays a leading role in many Chinese folk orchestras (管弦乐队) just as the violin does in Western orchestras. They are both made up of a body, a bridge, strings (弦) and a bow (弓). The performer usually holds the erhu straightly on the leg, ▲ and pressing the strings with his fingers, while drawing the bow with his right hand. As the bow runs against the strings and touches and shakes them, beautiful music comes. Not limited (限制) by just two strings, a good player can give the erhu amazing emotional expressions. It can present both soft, lovely songs and sad music. Sometimes it gives a human crying voice, and sometimes a great horse-running sound. Today, as a folk instrument, the erhu has been used more widely by communicating with Western musical instruments. In many international concerts, the erhu can be seen playing with different Western instruments, such as the piano, violin and guitar. This performance form not only adds new possibilities to music creation, but also brings richer enjoyment to the listeners. 36．Why is Wuxi known as the “Home of the erhu”? A．Because it is the birthplace of many erhu masters. B．Because we can hear the beautiful sound of the erhu there. C．Because the erhu was invented there. D．Because it has a long history of playing the erhu. 37．What does the underlined word “leading” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Very common. B．Very strange. C．Very interesting. D．Very important. 38．Which words can be put into the “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 3? A．Showing beautiful sounds B．Spreading around the world C．Holding the neck with his left hand D．Playing with Western instruments 39．Which of the following is TRUE? A．The huqin is different from the erhu. B．The erhu has a history of over 1,000 years. C．We can’t see the erhu in any international concerts. D．The erhu is made up of a body, a bridge and strings. 40．What’s the passage mainly about? A．The introduction to Wuxi. B．Chinese and Western orchestras. C．The introduction to the erhu. D．International concerts. C Passant teaches Chinese at the Confucius Institute of Cairo University (开罗大学孔子学院) in Egypt. She started learning Chinese because her dad thought it would be useful. However, Passant had problems learning Chinese. “Chinese is very different from my own language. So I had to work harder to learn it,” she said. With hard work, Passant became better at Chinese. In 2018, she got to study at Shandong University. During her studies, she became the only foreign student in a volunteer teaching team and went to Ji’an, Jiangxi Province, to teach for 10 days. Teaching made her want to be a Chinese teacher. In 2019, she won a big Chinese competition Foreign College Students.

In 2021, she got her master’s degree and began teaching Chinese at the Confucius Institute of Cairo University. “Many people in Egypt are studying Chinese now,” said Passant. Today, Passant often tells her students stories about China and its culture during class. Like her, her students find it hard to say Chinese words, put sentences together, and write Chinese characters. She often tells them her tips for learning Chinese—practice a lot and not be afraid of challenges. She also shows them places of interest in Beijing such as the Great Wall. 41．The writer starts the passage by ________.

If so, I bet (敢说) that person said sorry to you at least once! 46 Most Brits make sure they say sorry when they sneeze (打喷嚏)correct someone else’s mistake or are late for a meeting. But they also say sorry for the weather. And they often say sorry to you when you bump (碰撞)into them on the street. They say sorry when they can’t hear what you’re saying. 47 So just how many times a day does the Brit say sorry? According to a survey of more than 1, 000 Brits, the answer was eight. And one in eight Brits says sorry up to 20 times a day! 48 At first, it meant “painful, very upset and full of sorrow.” However, but this doesn’t mean we feel sorry more often. 49 It’s just a more polite way of saying.“We don’t really care, but we feel we should say something.” Some researchers think the popularity of saying sorry has something to do with the British class system (阶级制度). We apologize because we think we may have more advantages than those we are talking to. If you visit a British family, your host may say sorry to you several times a day. Don’t feel strange or embarrassed. We are really sorry for saying sorry all the time. 50 Sorry about that! 根据材料内容, 从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项, 使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 A．Wait, did I just say “sorry” twice in one sentence?

E．“Sorry” is probably the most commonly heard word here in the U.K. 第 II 卷 非选择题 六、任务型阅读（共 4 小题；51-53 每小题2分，54 题4分；满分10分） 阅读短文,用英文填空或回答问题 （请注意每小题的词数要求）。 Julie was born in China 17 years ago. In 2012, she went to the USA with her family. As a high school student, she has found many differences between Chinese and Americans: About money Americans like to spend more than they have, so many of them are always in debt (欠债). But Chinese usually spend less than they have, so many of them always have money left in the bank. The American children themselves make their own money. Most Chinese kids always ask their parents for money. About education Many American students have less homework to do while many Chinese students have much. Many American girls take part in sports, dancing and singing groups while many Chinese girls take part in study groups.

Many Chinese parents would do anything to send their children to expensive schools though their family isn’t rich enough.
