B Adolescence (青春期) is the time between being a child and full adult (成年人). Adolescence is a difficult process (过程) for teenagers. The reason is that both their minds and bodies make great changes. The changes may cause many problems if teenagers don’t know what to do with them. So it’s necessary to learn something about the changes. Different people begin adolescence at different ages. Usually girls start adolescence two years earlier than boys. For both girls and boys, adolescence is usually over by the age of 18. Teenage boys at this time often begin to take unnecessary risks. They want others to accept them. They are also easily angry with others and fight more. So they need to think twice before they act and make good decisions for themselves. A girl’s personality often does not develop in the same way as a boy’s. Teenage girls sometimes lose confidence (信心) in themselves. They aren’t sure about their own feelings, but they are usually afraid to tell others about their problems. We can do a lot to care for and help teenagers. At the same time, parents can also tell teenagers about what is happening to them and help them to know themselves better. Everyone plays a part in making sure that young people grow into healthy adults. 40. Why is adolescence a difficult process for teenagers according to the passage? A. Teenagers find it is hard for them to lose confidence. B. Teenagers have difficulty accepting others’ advice. C. Teenagers’ parents always ask them to be excellent. D. Both teenagers’ minds and bodies change. 41. What does the underlined word “personality” mean in Chinese? A. 力气 B. 财富 C. 性格 D. 挑战 42. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The writer’s worry about teenagers’ exam results. B. The writer’s advice about how to care for and help teenagers. C. The writer’s idea about why adolescence is important to teenagers. D. The writer’s prediction about adolescence and the future. C We should first be smart enough to know who is excellent and who is not. Confucius believes that an excellent person has many good qualities (品质), like being kind, fair, polite and honest. However, it’s hard to find someone who is completely perfect. But everyone has their own strengths (优点), and we can learn from them to better ourselves. Likewise (同样), sometimes we may notice things that are wrong with other people. Instead of simply criticizing (批评) others, we should think about if we have similar problems ourselves and how we can correct them. Just as Confucius said, in a company of three, my teacher there must be. People all have their own qualities worth learning. What’s important is to have the ability to find role models around us and be willing (愿意的) to change ourselves. Learning from others can go a long way in helping us become better people. Did you know that the Chinese nation has always valued this line of Confucius? In September 2013, President Xi Jinping mentioned it when he met the fourth group of national ethical role models (全国道德模范). He said that people should try to be like these role models by learning from them. The whole society should uphold the values of beauty, uprightness and goodness (真善美) and spread positive energy (正能量). 43. Confucius believes that an excellent person should be ________. A. kind B. fair C. polite and honest D. Above all 44. It’s ________ to find someone who is completely perfect. A. easy B. possible C. difficult D. impossible 45. What can go a long way in helping us become better people? A. Studying hard. B. Learning from others. C. Working hard. D. Being kind and fair. 46. What does the underlined sentence “in a company of three, my teacher there must be” mean in Chinese? A. 三个人的公司，一定是我的老师 B. 千里之行，始于足下 C. 三人行，必有我师焉 D. 得道多助，失道寡助 D During my summer vacation in 2019, I had a wonderful eight-day trip to Berlin with my classmates. During the stay, I learned a lot about German. A year before that, my German friend, Maurice, had come to China, and we spent a weekend together. That experience was unforgettable. Maurice couldn’t speak English very well, and he was very shy, so it was hard for me to talk with him. On my way to Berlin, I was a bit nervous that I would face the same difficulties again. But things went smoother (更顺畅的) than I had expected. I tried my best to use my poor German to communicate with his family. Maurice had a younger sister, Emily, and a younger brother, Felix, who were very outgoing and cute. I talked to them about China, but sometimes I needed to use Google Translate. The family also had two dogs, who always crawled up (爬上) on my legs and played with me. A few days later, we got familiar with each other. On the weekend, we walked a long way to Siegessäule also known as Berlin Victory Column. Maurice’s father shared many stories of the Wars of German Unification, which gave me a new understanding about Germany. Though we didn’t know each other’s languages well, we still had a wonderful time together. 47. The writer felt a bit nervous on his way to Berlin because ________. A. he was too excited to see Maurice B. he was afraid of cultural differences C. it was his first time to travel to another country D. he couldn’t speak German well 48. Which of the following is TRUE? A. The writer stayed in Berlin for a week in 2019. B. The writer learnt more about Germany with the help of Maurice’s father. C. There were four people in Maurice’s family. D. The writer didn’t get on well with Maurice’s dogs. 49. What’s the best title for this passage? A. Making Friends in Berlin B. A Good Way to Learn German C. A New Understanding About Germany D. An Unforgettable Trip to Berlin E You’ve probably heard how Chinese culture is truly rich and full of all kinds of ancient (古老的) and modern (现代的) ways to keep our bodies fit. One of the really wonderful ones is Baduanjin (八段锦), which is also called Eight Pieces of Brocade. It uses special breathing skills to improve both physical and mental health. Now let’s take a closer look at these Chinese exercises that have been helping people stay healthy for hundreds of years. Baduanjin is one of the most ancient forms of Chinese qigong (a system of deep-breathing exercises). It is famous for its health benefits. This qigong style centers on breathing by taking slow, deep breaths, and helps relax our body and calm the mind. Baduanjin started as early as the Bei Song Dynasty. It has a history of more than 800 years. In the beginning, it was developed as a way to improve the physical health of soldiers. Over time, it developed into a comprehensive (全面的) system of exercises practiced by both martial artists and common people. _________ such as improving physical fitness, getting better sleep, keeping a good mental state, and reducing (减少) stress. So people of all ages and fitness levels can practice it without any special tools or experience. Whether in the park or at one’s home, Baduanjin provides gentle yet effective (有效的) care for both body and mind. There are a total of eight movements in Baduanjin, each with its own special focus. The Eight Pieces of Brocade has been handed down through the centuries as eight short, simple sentences. Let’s go through them one by one. 50. Who can practice Baduanjin according to this passage? A. People in the army. B. Young people. C. People of all ages and fitness levels. D. People with special tools. 51. Which of the following can be put in the ________? A. Any traditional cultural activity in China can improve physical fitness. B. Let me tell you how to learn this traditional exercise. C. Baduanjin is a very difficult exercise to learn at first. D. There are lots of good things about practicing Baduanjin. 52. What’s the writer’s purpose (目的) of writing this passage? A. To show us the good sides of Baduanjin. B. To introduce an ancient Chinese exercise—Baduanjin. C. To teach us how to practice Baduanjin. D. To tell us the history of Baduanjin.
