Just like in any other relationship, arguments (争吵) and fights are also part of friendship. Whatever the reason is, if a person cause the arguments, it’s important that he should say sorry to his friend.
Though you can use the email, text messages or talks to express your apology (道歉), the good old way of saying sorry to your friend through a letter will surely have the greatest effect (效果). This will make your friend realize that you really care about him/her.

Attention: Some people may try to point out the friend’s mistake while writing the letter. Avoid this totally, because it can make matters worse. Keep patient and do not expect immediate results. It may take time for the person to forgive (原谅) and forget.

There is a special “line” in China—the Qinling-Huaihe Line. It runs from the Qinling Mountains in the west to the Huai River in the east. It divides (分) China into two parts: the northern part, known as northern China, and the southern part, known as southern China. There are great differences in weather between the two parts. Let’s have a look!
In general, northern China has a cold and dry winter, while southern China is known for its humid (潮湿的) weather in winter. In northern China, the coldest month often comes in January. Temperatures in some provinces can drop to as low as -30℃, while the southernmost cities enjoy temperatures of around 20℃—even in January. Many northern Chinese like spending winter holidays in the southern cities, mostly around Sanya.
During the winter months, the northern provinces experience cold weather for a long time. The ground freezes (冰冻). Some places are covered in snow. It’s like a fairy tale (童话) world from movies. People often build snowmen and play in the snow to enjoy the happiness of winter. But in southern China, temperature seldom falls below 0℃. Snow seldom falls, and the rivers do not freeze.
Heating (供暖) is important for northern Chinese. People often wear hats, scarves, down jackets (羽绒服) and gloves outside. But when they return home, they only need a T-shirt. In southern China, however, people don’t enjoy heating. They often use air conditioners (空调) or electric heaters (电暖气) to keep themselves warm during winter.
16. What can we know about Qinling-Huaihe Line?
A. It runs from the south to the north.
B. It is between northern and southern China.
C. It got its name from Chinese people.
D. It divides China into five parts.
17. When does the coldest weather come in northern China?
A. In December. B. In November. C. In February. D. In January.
18. Which difference is Paragraph 3 about?
A. The temperatures. B. The snow. C. The rain. D. The clothes
19. How do people in southern China usually keep warm inside their homes in winter?
A. They wear down jackets and gloves.
B. They use air conditioners or electric heaters.
C. They enjoy central heating systems.
D. They build snowmen inside.
20. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. Winter in northern and southern China. B. Differences in weather in many cities.
C. How people spend winter in the north. D. How people spend winter in the south.
【答案】16. B 17. D 18. B 19. B 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍秦岭-淮河线,它划分中国南北方,聚焦南北方冬季天气差异,展现南北方冬季气候及生活的不同。

Have you heard about animal cafes? In many zoos, you can only see the animals in cages. However, it will be easy for you to pet some cute animals in an animal cafe. In an animal cafe, you can play with animals while enjoying the food and drinks.
Cat cafes are the most popular and have been around for the longest. When you spend time with the cats, you can either communicate with them or just take it easy while reading a book. The insides of many cafes are like common houses, letting you relax as if you were at a friend’s house or even your own home. To draw the interest of more visitors, the owners of the cafes also look after other animals such as dogs, rabbits and ducks.
“Because of limited (有限的) living space and busy work plans, many young people are now unable to raise pets themselves. The pets here meet their needs,” said Duan Mu, the owner of a cafe. Up to February 2024, there were more than 4,000 animal cafes in China.
Animal cafes can be mainly divided into two modes (模式). The first mode raises animals in the cafe. If a person doesn’t have a pet, he prefers to visit there. This kind of place charges admission (收费). The second mode simply allows pets to visit and enjoy coffee time with their owners. There is no admission charge. But the customers need to order food and drinks if they stay in an animal cafe with their own pets. “I prefer to choose the second cafe because it allows me to bring along my own cat,” Yu Miao, a 30-year-old cat owner said.
Pets are the most interesting part of animal cafes, but they can also present trouble. Some doctors remind the probable hygiene-related (卫生相关的) food problems caused by animals. Many cafe owners also say that there are sometimes events of animals biting or scratching (抓伤) customers. So, how can customers stay safe in animal cafes? Remember: don’t run after animals!

Zhu Yanjun won the second place in the Chinese Poetry Competition.
He was born in a village in Gansu. After middle school, Zhu became a migrant worker (农民工) in different cities, like many other people from countryside. What made him different was his strong love for poems and books. Whenever he was free, he visited bookstores and libraries. He wrote down poems and recited (背诵) them. Zhu only had a middle school education, but his love for reading began at that time.
Zhu worked at different building sites in more than 10 cities. “There is an old Chinese saying: Reading thousands of books is not as good as travelling thousands of miles,” Zhu said. “However, for me, although I have been to many cities, it is not for travel, but to make a living, so I know more about the world by reading.”
Because Zhu did really well in the poetry competition, the local government provided him with a job at the local cultural center. Although he doesn’t make as much money as before, he doesn’t have to leave his hometown now.
“Money is not so important to me. One can live a decent (体面的) life even without lots of money,” he said.

There is a special “line” in China—the Qinling-Huaihe Line. It runs from the Qinling Mountains in the west to the Huai River in the east. It divides (分) China into two parts: the northern part, known as northern China, and the southern part, known as southern China. There are great differences in weather between the two parts. Let’s have a look!
In general, northern China has a cold and dry winter, while southern China is known for its humid (潮湿的) weather in winter. In northern China, the coldest month often comes in January. Temperatures in some provinces can drop to as low as -30℃, while the southernmost cities enjoy temperatures of around 20℃—even in January. Many northern Chinese like spending winter holidays in the southern cities, mostly around Sanya.
During the winter months, the northern provinces experience cold weather for a long time. The ground freezes (冰冻). Some places are covered in snow. It’s like a fairy tale (童话) world from movies. People often build snowmen and play in the snow to enjoy the happiness of winter. But in southern China, temperature seldom falls below 0℃. Snow seldom falls, and the rivers do not freeze.
Heating (供暖) is important for northern Chinese. People often wear hats, scarves, down jackets (羽绒服) and gloves outside. But when they return home, they only need a T-shirt. In southern China, however, people don’t enjoy heating. They often use air conditioners (空调) or electric heaters (电暖气) to keep themselves warm during winter.
16. What can we know about Qinling-Huaihe Line?
A. It runs from the south to the north.
B. It is between northern and southern China.
C. It got its name from Chinese people.
D. It divides China into five parts.
17. When does the coldest weather come in northern China?
A. In December. B. In November. C. In February. D. In January.
18. Which difference is Paragraph 3 about?
A. The temperatures. B. The snow. C. The rain. D. The clothes
19. How do people in southern China usually keep warm inside their homes in winter?
A. They wear down jackets and gloves.
B. They use air conditioners or electric heaters.
C. They enjoy central heating systems.
D. They build snowmen inside.
20. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. Winter in northern and southern China. B. Differences in weather in many cities.
C. How people spend winter in the north. D. How people spend winter in the south.
