I have a daughter named Charlie and a son named Jacob. One day in 2022, I turned my son's pancake into a "lion" for a bit of fun. He loved it and asked if I could make him a character from a movie, book or toy. Since then, I've been turning our meals into art pieces every week. These meals each take 25 to 40 minutes to make. I only use fresh and healthy foods to create them. I color some parts of the meals, but only with natural ingredients(食材), so everything is safe to eat. After watching the movie Turning Red, I fell in love with the main character, Meilin. I decided to make her the star of one of my meals. Firstly, I made her face out of mashed potatoes (土豆泥). Then, I colored her mouth with some watermelon juice. After that, I made her teeth from a boiled egg. Her hair was made out of eggplant. And I turned half an apple and some flatbread into her shirt. Lastly, I cut out her hairpin from a piece of cucumber and added other decorations. My little ones love these interesting meals. Charlie always gives me suggestions on how I can make the characters even more vivid(逼真的). Jacob likes to discuss with me what ingredients I should use. I really enjoy making these pieces with their help! 44. Why did Laleh start making artistic meals? A. To sell them online. B. To become a famous chef. C. To teach her kids cooking skills. D. To create interesting meals for her son after he asked for them. 45. What does Paragraph 3 want to tell the readers? A. How Laleh made this Meilin art meal. B. How long it took Laleh to make this Meilin art meal. C. Why Laleh chose to make this Meilin art meal. D. What Laleh needed for making this Meilin art meal. 46. What is the main message of the story? A. Kids should learn to cook alone. B. Food art is only for professional chefs. C. Cooking requires expensive ingredients. D. Creativity can make everyday activities fun. C Over the past 25 years, I've studied twenty languages. You might think I'm a gifted language learner, but I'm not. I make plenty of mistakes when learning languages. That's not really a bad thing. I learn a lot from my mistakes. There is a reason behind each one. Understanding these reasons keeps learning exciting. My native language is French. English was the first foreign language I learned. When I was trying to pick up the language, I often mixed up the vowel sounds(元音). This was especially true for vowel sounds that you make in the center and back of your mouth, like those in "but," "boat" and "bought." For example, I said "collar" when I meant "color." I pronounced the "o" in "posture" like the "o" in "post." This was because French doesn't have as many vowel sounds as English. After years of practice. I now get it right most of the time. When I was learning Spanish, I had trouble with the tens. Instead of saying the "-enta" ending (as in cuarenta for "forty"), I used "- anta" as the ending. My brain was applying a rule it had learned years before, when I was learning Italian. This is just another classic case of language interference(干扰). Making mistakes is a natural part of learning. Mistakes also add fun to our language - learning adventure. Instead of being afraid of them, try to accept mistakes and learn from them. 47. What can we learn about French from the article? A. It has fewer vowel sounds than English. B. It has as many vowel sounds as English. C. Its native speakers have no trouble making vowel sounds. D. Most of its vowel sounds are made in the center and back of the mouth. 48. In what order did the writer pick up the three languages below? A. English, Spanish, Italian. B. English, Italian, Spanish. C. Spanish, English, Italian. D. Italian, English, Spanish. 49. What should we do when we learn a language according to the writer? A. Turn a blind eye to our mistakes. B. Avoid making mistakes at all costs. C. Always ask our teachers to explain our mistakes. D. Try to understand the reasons behind our mistakes. 50. What did the writer mainly want to tell people? A. That he is not a gifted language learner. B. How to learn twenty languages in 25 years. C. How to avoid mixing up different languages. D. That mistakes play an important role in language learning. B) 阅读短文，从短文后所给的 A 至 F 六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 We're Besties Forever A pair of best friends recently become famous online.    51    They wear robes(袍) with crossed collars and wide sleeves and long skirts.

Most of you meet your teachers at the opening ceremony(仪式). But long ago in China, students had a very special way to meet their teachers. It was called the Bai Shi Ceremony. This event marked the start of their learning journey. At the ceremony, students showed deep respect to their teacher. They didn't shake hands or say hello. Instead, they would kneel and bow three times. They also gave their teacher a cup of tea, a letter called Bai Shi Tie and sometimes a red envelope. All these acts were ways of saying, "I trust you, teacher. I'm ready to learn from you." In return, the teacher made a promise. He would treat the student as a family member. The teacher didn't just teach skills. He helped the student become an honest person and learn how to live a wise life. The ceremony was quiet and serious. People lit incense(香) and gave thanks to ancestors. After that, the student officially became a disciple(弟子) of the teacher. It was a big moment and a great honor. Today, we don't hold this kind of ceremony any more. But many students still find ways to thank their teachers. A kind word, a smile, or a thank - you note can all be great ways to show their respect. （回答下列问题，每题答案不超过六个单词） 71. What did the Bai Shi Ceremony mark? 72. How many ways of showing respect to teachers are mentioned in Paragraph 2? 73. How was the Bai Shi Ceremony? 74. How do students thank teachers today? 75.
