This passage is probably a(n) ________. A logo B. instruction C. notice D. advertisement B Snakes are really amazing animals. They are super fast. Their long, soft bodies can move through the grass quickly. Snakes are also very strong. They can squeeze (挤压) their food really hard. Smart Chinese kungfu masters noticed these cool things about snakes. It made them think of a new kind of fighting and create snake boxing. In Zhejiang, Fu Guogang, a 53-year-old man, has been practicing snake boxing for over 40 years. It has been passed down from one generation (一代人) to another in his family. Now he is the fifth generation. He really loves this special kind of kungfu. Fu says, “We have to watch how snakes eat, fight, and move carefully at first. Then, we mix these actions with the moves in kungfu.” He believes snake boxing is not just about having strong bodies. It also needs a powerful mind. Learners have to understand the moves well. Snake boxing is an important part of culture. Fu Guogang wants more people to know how great snake boxing is. In 2016, in Jinhua city, Zhejiang, he started a special training program. Anyone who was interested in snake boxing could join them and learn it. Many people, both young and old, took part in it. This made Fu Guogang happy and excited. The next year, he did more. He set up a snake boxing club. People can learn more about the history and moves of snake boxing and help share the beauty of it as well. Fu Guogang hopes that snake boxing will be known and liked by more people someday 31. Which cool thing about snakes is mentioned in paragraph 1? A. They notice danger quickly. B. They hit food really hard. C. They have swimming skills. D. They have amazing speed. 32. Fu learnt snake boxing from ________ according to the passage. A. his son B. his wife C. his father D. his teacher 33. A good snake boxing learner needs to be ________. A young and interesting B. strong and careful C. helpful and exciting D. rich and gentle 34. How many examples are given to show how Fu spread snake boxing? A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5. 35. The passage mainly ________. A. shares some amazing facts about cool snakes B. shows the steps to learn and practise snake boxing well C. introduces Master Fu and what he has done for snake boxing D. invites more people to learn the special kungfu-snake boxing C From different TV dramas or books, we can often hear titles like quanzi, taoli and kaimo. In fact, they are part of Chinese history and culture. In China, it’s a modest (谦虚的)way for Chinese parents to introduce their sons by calling quanzi while they use linglang to show respect for others’. Although their children are successful, they don’t usually talk about this in public. Instead, they try to play it down. This is similar to Hanshe that Chinese people may call their big houses. There is another Chinese expression taoli mantianxia, which means a teacher has lots of students across the country, like trees full of peaches and plums (桃和李). It comes from a story about Zizhi. As a teacher, Zizhi was kind and strict. He often pointed at the peach or plum trees in his yard to ask his students to work hard.“ You should try to be a successful person in your fields, just as the peach and plum trees,” he said. Keeping these words in mind, many of his students did as he said and made it. In Chinese, kaimo means “role model”. Both words have a “木” on their left side. People believe that kai and mo might be two kinds of trees in ancient China. It was said that there were many kai trees growing near Confucius’ tomb (孔子墓). These trees were so straight that they made people think of Confucius’ quality-straight and honest. The mo trees were said to grow near the tomb of the Duke of Zhou. The straightness and the leaves’ pure color of trees were like his wonderful quality. Since kai and mo trees grew near the tombs of two great people, kaimo was then used to stand for role models. 36. According to paragraph 2, Chinese play it down by ________. A. inviting friends to visit their Hanshe B. calling others’ sons linglang C. wanting their children to be successful D. calling their own sons quanzi 37. Taoli is used to refer to ________ from paragraph 3. A. peach and plum trees B. hard-working teachers C flowers and fruit of trees D. successful students in their fields 38. What do kai and mo trees have in common (共同点) from the last paragraph? A. They are both straight. B. They have pure leaves. C. They are planted in the same place. D. Their names both have a “木”on the right side. 39. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. It tells us how to be a good teacher like Zizhi. B. It shows us different ways Chinese people respect others. C. It introduces some Chinese words about history and culture. D. It explains why Chinese people like to plant trees near tombs. 40. Which is the right structure of this passage? A. ①②/③④ B. ①/②③④ C. ①②③/④ D. ①/②③/④ D Travel has a different meaning to everyone-some travel to get away from everyday life, some travel to find themselves, but not me. I live to travel—I want to make a life of travel. Travel means enjoying myself in amazing ways. Travel to me means waking up at 4 a.m. to get to the best place to watch the sunrise. Everything gets hopeful when I see the new bright sun. Travel to me means learning patience and accepting things differently. I enjoy slowing down to understand things from different possibilities. ① Travel to me means making friends with local people and respecting their culture. It is great fun to experience different cultures and traditions. ② Travel to me means building relationships with strangers like family. I will learn from every person I meet. ③ Travel to me means getting lost in little bookstores and cafes. Every little place is full of history and unusual stories for me to explore. Travel to me means learning to live with few things free from fame (名声) or money. Travel to me means finding happiness in the smallest things. ④ All I want from travel is to enjoy every moment and learn from others. This is what travel means to me-to live fully, accept others, keep learning, and let the world shape (塑造) me. 41. Why does the writer travel? A. To find the true self. B. To live a life of travel. C. To have fun with children. D. To run away from busy life. 42. According to the passage, the writer had fun in amazing ways like ________. a. watching the sunrise b. eating delicious food c. meeting strangers d. taking nice photos A. ac B. ab C. bd D. cd 43.

It is about 337,000 square kilometers. That’s as big as three Zhejiang provinces. The sand here is light and soft. When strong winds blow, the sand flies, and the desert moves! It moves forward every year. The desert can cover roads, farms and even people’s homes. But now, we are working hard to stop it. In 2024, China finished a 3,046-kilometer green belt (带) around the Taklimakan Desert. How do we stop the sand? Straw squares We stick straws (插稻草) into the sand to make big squares. These squares help keep the sand in place. Trees and flower seeds can grow safely inside. Sand barrier (沙障) We build 1-meter-tall walls with straws and wires (铁丝). These walls are like silent guardians (卫士) standing in the desert. When the strong desert winds blow, hitting these walls, their speed gets reduced bit by bit. The wind slows down, so it can’t carry and spread the sand as heavily as before. In this way, they play a key role in preventing sand from moving. Deep roots Trees and flowers grow roots deep into the ground as if they decide to hold the earth hard. As they grow deeper and thicker, they grow together, forming a strong underground system. Little by little, the roots hold the sand even harder, silently working to keep the land in place. Energy from the sun In the Taklimakan Desert, where sunshine is rich, we make good use of this natural treasure. We turn energy into power. Then, machines can take water from underground to water plants, helping them survive in this dry land. In this way, energy from the sun gives life to plants and brings hope to the desert. Through hard work, the Taklimakan Desert is not as “terrible” as before. Stopping the desert from becoming larger will take a long period of time. But as long as we keep working hard and never give up, we can make more parts of the desert turn green. Let’s take action to make our country more beautiful. Facts It’s China’s largest desert. Sand moves with ___46___ winds. ___47___ It moves forward and covers roads, farms and homes. Ways Straw Squares Stick straws to form squares, ___48___ sand in place for plant growth. Sand barrier Build 1-metre walls with straws/ wires to ___49___ wind speed. Deep roots Grow deep and ___50___, forming strong underground nets. Energy from the sun Turn sunlight into power to ___51___ underground water for plants. Achievements and hopes ◆In 2024, a 3,046-km green belt was ___52___ around the desert. ◆Desert is ___53___ “terrible” now. ◆Stopping spread of desert takes a long time, but can ___54___ the conditions of some parts. ◆_____55_____ to make China more beautiful 五、综合填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分） 根据短文内容，填上适当单词，使短文完整、通顺。给出单词的空格不限一词，没有给出单词的空格限一词。 On May 6, Zhao Xintong, 28, made many perfect shots.

He becomes the ___58___ (one) Asian player to win the title. Some people joked that his shots have GPS. They don’t, of course. But there is science behind his shots. One key is angle (角度). A ___59___ (play) uses the white ball to hit other ones. An angle ___60___ (make) when the white ball hits another one. Where does the white ball go? ●Hit the top ●Hit the center ●Hit the bottom The white ball can spin and move ___61___ different ways. It stops in the right place for the next shot. ___62___ ball that is hit will always go this. Another key is spin (旋转). When a player ___63___ (hit) any part of the white ball except its center, the ball spins right away. Great players are good at ___64___ (use) angles and spins. So, they can work out where the balls will go. They can also plan where the white ball stops. ____65____ it ends up behind another ball, it is hard for their rivals (对手) to make a good shot next.

In fact, they are part of Chinese history and culture. In China, it’s a modest (谦虚的)way for Chinese parents to introduce their sons by calling quanzi while they use linglang to show respect for others’. Although their children are successful, they don’t usually talk about this in public. Instead, they try to play it down. This is similar to Hanshe that Chinese people may call their big houses. There is another Chinese expression taoli mantianxia, which means a teacher has lots of students across the country, like trees full of peaches and plums (桃和李). It comes from a story about Zizhi. As a teacher, Zizhi was kind and strict. He often pointed at the peach or plum trees in his yard to ask his students to work hard.“ You should try to be a successful person in your fields, just as the peach and plum trees,” he said. Keeping these words in mind, many of his students did as he said and made it. In Chinese, kaimo means “role model”. Both words have a “木” on their left side. People believe that kai and mo might be two kinds of trees in ancient China. It was said that there were many kai trees growing near Confucius’ tomb (孔子墓). These trees were so straight that they made people think of Confucius’ quality-straight and honest. The mo trees were said to grow near the tomb of the Duke of Zhou. The straightness and the leaves’ pure color of trees were like his wonderful quality. Since kai and mo trees grew near the tombs of two great people, kaimo was then used to stand for role models. 36. According to paragraph 2, Chinese play it down by ________. A. inviting friends to visit their Hanshe B. calling others’ sons linglang C. wanting their children to be successful D. calling their own sons quanzi 37. Taoli is used to refer to ________ from paragraph 3. A. peach and plum trees B. hard-working teachers C. flowers and fruit of trees D. successful students in their fields 38. What do kai and mo trees have in common (共同点) from the last paragraph? A. They are both straight. B. They have pure leaves. C. They are planted in the same place. D. Their names both have a “木”on the right side. 39. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. It tells us how to be a good teacher like Zizhi. B. It shows us different ways Chinese people respect others. C. It introduces some Chinese words about history and culture. D. It explains why Chinese people like to plant trees near tombs. 40. Which is the right structure of this passage? A. ①②/③④ B. ①/②③④ C. ①②③/④ D. ①/②③/④ 【答案】36. D 37. D 38. A 39. C 40.

It is about 337,000 square kilometers. That’s as big as three Zhejiang provinces. The sand here is light and soft. When strong winds blow, the sand flies, and the desert moves! It moves forward every year. The desert can cover roads, farms and even people’s homes. But now, we are working hard to stop it. In 2024, China finished a 3,046-kilometer green belt (带) around the Taklimakan Desert. How do we stop the sand? Straw squares We stick straws (插稻草) into the sand to make big squares. These squares help keep the sand in place. Trees and flower seeds can grow safely inside. Sand barrier (沙障) We build 1-meter-tall walls with straws and wires (铁丝). These walls are like silent guardians (卫士) standing in the desert. When the strong desert winds blow, hitting these walls, their speed gets reduced bit by bit. The wind slows down, so it can’t carry and spread the sand as heavily as before. In this way, they play a key role in preventing sand from moving. Deep roots Trees and flowers grow roots deep into the ground as if they decide to hold the earth hard. As they grow deeper and thicker, they grow together, forming a strong underground system. Little by little, the roots hold the sand even harder, silently working to keep the land in place. Energy from the sun In the Taklimakan Desert, where sunshine is rich, we make good use of this natural treasure. We turn energy into power. Then, machines can take water from underground to water plants, helping them survive in this dry land. In this way, energy from the sun gives life to plants and brings hope to the desert. Through hard work, the Taklimakan Desert is not as “terrible” as before. Stopping the desert from becoming larger will take a long period of time. But as long as we keep working hard and never give up, we can make more parts of the desert turn green. Let’s take action to make our country more beautiful. Facts It’s China’s largest desert. Sand moves with ___46___ winds. ___47___ It moves forward and covers roads, farms and homes. Ways Straw Squares Stick straws to form squares ___48___ sand in place for plant growth. Sand barrier Build 1-metre walls with straws/ wires to ___49___ wind speed. Deep roots Grow deep and ___50___, forming strong underground nets. Energy from the sun Turn sunlight into power to ___51___ underground water for plants.
