Its success is not just about money—it shows Chinese animated (动画) films are growing stronger and Chinese people are proud of our culture. It also teaches us how new ideas can make stories exciting. The movie retells a traditional Chinese story but in a modern way. Ne Zha, once just a character from old tales, becomes a hero who fights for himself. His famous line, “I decide my own fate (命运),” matches today’s values (价值) and shows his strong spirit. This proves old stories can stay important if we make them fresh. The film looks amazing with special effects (特效). Over 4,000 people worked on it, creating 1,900 special scenes. This shows China’s skill in animation and their hard work to make great films. New technology and creative ideas helped bring the story to life. Many Chinese animation companies worked together on Ne Zha 2. Each company did what it did best, like designing characters or making action scenes look real. This teamwork helps China’s animation industry (产业) grow and shows how collaboration can help all to success. The film’s popularity shows Chinese people love seeing their culture shared in creative ways. It also shows that adding new ideas to old stories can make them loved by everyone. In short, Ne Zha 2 is more than a movie—it is a big step for Chinese animation. It shares China’s culture with the world and shows confidence (信心) in its stories. By mixing tradition with new ideas, Chinese films can stay alive and inspire (启发) future generations. 54. What does Ne Zha’s line “I decide my own fate” show about him? A. He is not sure about his future. B. He is strong in mind, brave and never gives up. C He needs others’ help to make decisions. D. He runs away from problems in life. 55. What does underlined word “collaboration” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Working alone. B. Working together. C. Fighting with others. D. Asking questions. 56. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Ne Zha 2 shows how Chinese animation is growing and mixes tradition with new ideas. B. Chinese animated films are more successful during holidays than usual. C. The film’s special effects are the most important part. D. Ne Zha 2 is just a movie about a traditional Chinese story. 【答案】54. B 55. B 56. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了电影《哪吒2》的成功及其对中国动画产业的积极影响，强调了传统文化与现代创新的结合。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据“His famous line, ‘I decide my own fate (命运),’ matches today’s values (价值) and shows his strong spirit.”可知，哪吒“我命由我不由天”的台词体现了他意志坚强、勇敢且永不放弃的精神。故选B。 【55题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Many Chinese animation companies worked together on Ne Zha 2...This teamwork helps China’s animation industry (产业) grow...”可知，多家中国动画公司合作制作了《哪吒2》，团队合作帮助中国动画产业发展，由此可推知“collaboration”意为“合作”，即“Working together”。故选B。 【56题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“In short, Ne Zha 2 is more than a movie—it is a big step for Chinese animation...By mixing tradition with new ideas, Chinese films can stay alive and inspire (启发) future generations.”及全文内容可知，《哪吒2》展现了中国动画的成长及传统与创新的结合。故选A。 C Imagine you are collecting some information about winter traditions in northern China. You click on a link for a video that you think could be useful to you. The video, however, takes time to load (下载). After ten seconds, it hasn’t even started playing yet. Will you continue to wait patiently? Ramesh Sitaraman is an American computer scientist. He placed 6.7 million people in a situation like the one above. According to his study, people would begin giving up on a video after only two seconds if it still hadn’t started loading yet. And with every additional (额外的) second that would pass without the video starting to play, another 5.8 percent of them would click on the “Close” icon. Sitaraman’s study, along with several other studies, shows people are becoming less and less patient. Because of the faster and faster Internet speeds, we are used to receiving “instant gratification”(及时满足). We expect to get what we want without having to wait. When we don’t get what we want at once, we become worried or even angry. This happens not only in front of our screens. Take one of my friends for example. One day last summer, he was cycling home after work. At one crossing, he had to stop because of a red traffic light. After waiting for 30 seconds, he felt impatient and made a crazy decision: Go in whichever direction he saw there was a green light. The decision didn’t really save him time. In fact, he took a detour and needed 20 minutes more than usual to get back home. My friend is not alone. Whenever there are traffic jams, many drivers try to quickly change lanes (变道)—a main reason for accidents. Being patient doesn’t just save you trouble. It is also key to your success in life. The next time you want to get instant gratification, ask yourself: Why are you in such a hurry? Are you worried that you might miss out on something important? Keep in mind that good things do take time. 57. x: the time people have to wait before the video begins y: the number of the people who choose to wait for the video to start playing According to para. 2, which of the charts below shows the relationship (关系) between “x” and “y”? A. B. C. D. 58. What does “took a detour” mean in Chinese in paragraph 4? A. 抄近道走 B. 长久等待 C. 原地转圈 D. 绕远路走 59. What is the correct structure (结构) of the passage? A. ①/②③/④⑤/⑥ B. ①②/③④⑤/⑥ C. ①②/③④/⑤⑥ D. ①/②③④/⑤⑥ 60. How does the writer feel about “instant gratification”? A. The writer strongly supports it. B. The writer doesn’t agree about it. C. The writer can’t decide if it is right. D. The writer shows great interest in it. 【答案】57. B 58. D 59. A 60. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了现如今“耐心”的重要性以及当我们快要失去耐心时，我们应该怎样做。 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据“According to his study, people would begin giving up on a video after only two seconds if it still hadn’t started loading yet. And with every additional (额外的) second that would pass without the video starting to play, another 5.8 percent of them would click on the “Close” icon.”可知，视频2秒未加载时，人们开始放弃，每多等1秒，放弃人数。所以，在2秒后，y（愿意等待的人数）应随x（等待时间）增加而持续下降，且呈线性递减趋势（每1秒固定减少5.8%）。故选B。 【58题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第4段“The decision didn’t really save him time. In fact, he took a detour and needed 20 minutes more than usual to get back home.”可知，他花的时间比平时长，走的路比平常多，所以推断出此处took a detour表示“绕远路走”。故选D。 【59题详解】 篇章结构题。根据全文可知，①通过下载视频的事情，让读者思考自己是否有耐心，总起引出下文；②③通过Ramesh Sitaraman的研究说明人们在使用电脑时耐心越来越少，并指出人们没有耐心的原因；④⑤通过作者朋友的例子指出了我们在生活中遇到事情或麻烦时同样没有耐心；⑥总结全文，提出增加耐心的建议。故选A。 【60题详解】 推理判断题。根据第6段“The next time you want to get instant gratification, ask yourself: Why are you in such a hurry? Are you worried that you might miss out on something important? Keep in mind that good things do take time.”可知，作者希望在下次想立即得到满足时，请思考自己是否真的如此着急，如果不着急真的会错过一些重要的事情吗，最后作者提出做好事情需要时间，可推测作者不赞同即时满足。故选B。 D Reading is a lifelong journey.

It is important for crops to get enough rain, because rainwater can help them grow faster and stronger. There are some traditions (传统) during Grain Rain. Drinking tea is one of them. People in southern China like to drink tea on this day. Spring tea during Grain Rain is rich in vitamins, so drinking tea can help them remove heat from the body and is good for their eyes.

B Ne Zha 2 became a huge hit during the Spring Festival, breaking box-office records in China and even around the world. Its success is not just about money—it shows Chinese animated (动画) films are growing stronger and Chinese people are proud of our culture. It also teaches us how new ideas can make stories exciting. The movie retells a traditional Chinese story but in a modern way. Ne Zha, once just a character from old tales, becomes a hero who fights for himself. His famous line, “I decide my own fate (命运),” matches today’s values (价值) and shows his strong spirit. This proves old stories can stay important if we make them fresh. The film looks amazing with special effects (特效). Over 4,000 people worked on it, creating 1,900 special scenes. This shows China’s skill in animation and their hard work to make great films. New technology and creative ideas helped bring the story to life. Many Chinese animation companies worked together on Ne Zha 2. Each company did what it did best, like designing characters or making action scenes look real. This teamwork helps China’s animation industry (产业) grow and shows how collaboration can help all to success. The film’s popularity shows Chinese people love seeing their culture shared in creative ways. It also shows that adding new ideas to old stories can make them loved by everyone. In short, Ne Zha 2 is more than a movie—it is a big step for Chinese animation. It shares China’s culture with the world and shows confidence (信心) in its stories. By mixing tradition with new ideas, Chinese films can stay alive and inspire (启发) future generations. 54. What does Ne Zha’s line “I decide my own fate” show about him? A. He is not sure about his future. B. He is strong in mind, brave and never gives up. C. He needs others’ help to make decisions. D. He runs away from problems in life. 55. What does underlined word “collaboration” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Working alone. B. Working together. C. Fighting with others. D. Asking questions. 56. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Ne Zha 2 shows how Chinese animation is growing and mixes tradition with new ideas. B. Chinese animated films are more successful during holidays than usual. C. The film’s special effects are the most important part. D Ne Zha 2 is just a movie about a traditional Chinese story. C Imagine you are collecting some information about winter traditions in northern China. You click on a link for a video that you think could be useful to you. The video, however, takes time to load (下载). After ten seconds, it hasn’t even started playing yet. Will you continue to wait patiently? Ramesh Sitaraman is an American computer scientist. He placed 6.7 million people in a situation like the one above. According to his study, people would begin giving up on a video after only two seconds if it still hadn’t started loading yet. And with every additional (额外的) second that would pass without the video starting to play, another 5.8 percent of them would click on the “Close” icon. Sitaraman’s study, along with several other studies, shows people are becoming less and less patient. Because of the faster and faster Internet speeds, we are used to receiving “instant gratification”(及时满足). We expect to get what we want without having to wait. When we don’t get what we want at once, we become worried or even angry. This happens not only in front of our screens. Take one of my friends for example. One day last summer, he was cycling home after work. At one crossing, he had to stop because of a red traffic light. After waiting for 30 seconds, he felt impatient and made a crazy decision: Go in whichever direction he saw there was a green light. The decision didn’t really save him time. In fact, he took a detour and needed 20 minutes more than usual to get back home. My friend is not alone. Whenever there are traffic jams, many drivers try to quickly change lanes (变道)—a main reason for accidents. Being patient doesn’t just save you trouble. It is also key to your success in life. The next time you want to get instant gratification ask yourself: Why are you in such a hurry? Are you worried that you might miss out on something important? Keep in mind that good things do take time. 57. x: the time people have to wait before the video begins y: the number of the people who choose to wait for the video to start playing According to para. 2, which of the charts below shows the relationship (关系) between “x” and “y”? A B. C. D. 58. What does “took a detour” mean in Chinese in paragraph 4? A. 抄近道走 B. 长久等待 C. 原地转圈 D. 绕远路走 59. What is the correct structure (结构) of the passage? A. ①/②③/④⑤/⑥ B. ①②/③④⑤/⑥ C. ①②/③④/⑤⑥ D. ①/②③④/⑤⑥ 60. How does the writer feel about “instant gratification”? A. The writer strongly supports it. B. The writer doesn’t agree about it. C. The writer can’t decide if it is right. D. The writer shows great interest in it. D Reading is a lifelong journey. Put yourself into a world of books and get lost in another world—but where do you start? ____61____ ◆ Ask a librarian (图书管理员). The best people to throw your questions are librarians! ____62____ If you tell a librarian what you’ve read before and what you liked or disliked about it, they will suggest some possible books for you to try. ◆ Make a change. ____63____ You may get used to reading history books or you just take an interest in science fictions. What about the books about culture? You’ll never know until you try. Give a new style a chance and you may enter a whole new world of reading. ◆ Read reviews. Book reviews can help you decide if a book is for you. There are usually short reviews on the covers of books. ____64____ Some websites provide book advice from writers, parents and teachers. Some people’s ideas about the books are very interesting. Their ideas may help you get a right pick. ◆____65____ Reading something comfortable might be your first choice.

You can also read reviews online. D. Here are some tips to pick a great book. E. Let me tell you how to write book reviews. F.

This year, it is on 20th, April. Grain Rain means the end of spring. It always rains a lot at this time. It is important for crops to get enough rain, because rainwater can help them grow faster and stronger. There are some traditions (传统) during Grain Rain. Drinking tea is one of them. People in southern China like to drink tea on this day. Spring tea during Grain Rain is rich in vitamins, so drinking tea can help them remove heat from the body and is good for their eyes. It is also said that drinking tea on this day would prevent bad luck. Eating Chinese toon (香椿) is also a tradition during Grain Rain. Chinese toon is delicious and healthy to eat. People can eat it with eggs or tofu. It is really very popular. Another tradition is the Grain Rain Festival. Fishermen in some seaside areas of China celebrate it. Grain Rain marks the start of the fishermen’s first voyage (航行) of the year. The tradition dates back more than 2,000 years ago. At that time, people believed gods protected them from the stormy seas, so they could have a good harvest. On this day, people would worship (祭拜) the sea, wishing for a good harvest and a safe voyage for their loved ones. Grain Rain makes our human culture combine with nature in harmony, which shows the traditional Chinese theory that man is an integral part of nature. 根据短文内容，回答问题（每题答案不超过10个词） 76.
