The campsite had clean showers, toilets and a small shop. We planned to put up our tent next to the lake. It was our first time camping.

It took a while, especially since we mixed up the tent poles (杆) at first！ That night, we cooked supper on our camping stove, and it tasted surprisingly good. We sat outside by the lake eating, listening to the gentle sound of the water. The sky was clear, so when it got dark, we saw thousands of stars. Their reflections (倒影) twinkled in the lake, and with the tall dark mountains all around, it felt like a really special place. I wanted a campfire, but Mum said we couldn’t because the dry weather for weeks made the park worry about forest fires. The two nights went by so quickly. We had a wonderful time, and none of us were ready to go when we had to pack up. After packing everything into the car, Dad walked around our tent, staring at the ground. “What have you lost, Dad?” I asked.

At first, people made simple lanterns with bamboo and paper for lighting. Later, they hung lanterns during festivals to make a happy atmosphere.

They connect lights, sounds and movements very well. What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. Zhang Fanglai from the Colorful Lantern Museum of China said any design can be made into lanterns, and people are encouraged to turn their ideas into real works. The rich themes of the lanterns show locals’ creativity and warmth. The government encourages people to learn lantern-making. Without doubt, the heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is the local tradition of working together. So far, Zigong lanterns have reached over 80 countries.

But if she wants to be alone, she’ll quietly walk away. To keep her safe, the team put a tracker in her collar (项圈). They also hung signs to tell visitors there’s a cat around. Cinder has many fans.

B Last week, my family and I went camping in the Lake District National Park for two nights. At first, I worried we’d be alone in the middle of nowhere. “How will we wash, and go to the toilet?” I asked my dad. Dad laughed, and explained, “We can’t camp anywhere in a national park, and we have to use special campsites (野营地).” As we drove closer to the Lake District, green hills started coming into our eyes. Our campsite was right by a large lake, and the views (风景) amazed us. The lake was surrounded by all mountains, and the water was so still and clear. The campsite had clean showers, toilets and a small shop. We planned to put up our tent next to the lake. It was our first time camping. Mum and Dad had bought a new tent just for this trip, so putting it up was our first challenge. It took a while, especially since we mixed up the tent poles (杆) at first！ That night, we cooked supper on our camping stove, and it tasted surprisingly good. We sat outside by the lake eating, listening to the gentle sound of the water. The sky was clear, so when it got dark, we saw thousands of stars. Their reflections (倒影) twinkled in the lake, and with the tall dark mountains all around, it felt like a really special place. I wanted a campfire, but Mum said we couldn’t because the dry weather for weeks made the park worry about forest fires. The two nights went by so quickly. We had a wonderful time, and none of us were ready to go when we had to pack up. After packing everything into the car, Dad walked around our tent, staring at the ground. “What have you lost Dad?” I asked. Dad said, “No—but when you go camping, you have to take away everything you brought with you. You mustn’t leave rubbish or anything.” 21. What did the writer do with his family last week? A.

C Zigong, a city in Sichuan Province, is known as the home of Chinese lanterns. These lanterns are even called “the best lanterns in the world”. The history of Chinese lanterns goes back over 2,000 years to the Western Han Dynasty. At first, people made simple lanterns with bamboo and paper for lighting. Later, they hung lanterns during festivals to make a happy atmosphere. By the Tang Dynasty, the Zigong Lantern Festival started. At that time, lanterns became more beautiful—people painted flowers, birds and stories on them. As time went on, Zigong lanterns developed by mixing traditional culture with modern technologies. In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产). Today, it has become a famous symbol of Chinese culture to be known around the world. Wan Songtao, an inheritor (继承人) of Zigong lantern-making, said making a big exhibition lantern requires 17 steps, and each step needs teamwork. For example, a sundial-shaped (日晷) lantern made by his team took 80 makers more than 50 days to finish. Unlike lanterns in other places, Zigong’s use modern tech like AI. They connect lights, sounds and movements very well. What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. Zhang Fanglai from the Colorful Lantern Museum of China said any design can be made into lanterns, and people are encouraged to turn their ideas into real works. The rich themes of the lanterns show locals’ creativity and warmth. The government encourages people to learn lantern-making. Without doubt, the heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is the local tradition of working together. So far, Zigong lanterns have reached over 80 countries. It’s believed they will go to every corner of the world in the future. 26. When did the Zigong Lantern Festival begin? A. Over 2000 years ago. B. In the Song Dynasty. C. In the Tang Dynasty. D. In the Western Han Dynasty. 27. Why are Zigong’s lanterns different from others? A They are painted with stories. B. They use modern technologies. C. They take a long time to finish. D. They are made of paper and silk. 28. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A. The lanterns’ themes are about working. B. Teamwork is the key to Zigong’s success. C. The locals are born to make good lanterns. D. All the ideas can be turned into real works. 29. Which of the following are mentioned in this passage? ①The theme of the Zigong lanterns. ②The popularity of the Zigong Lanterns. ③The development of the Zigong lanterns. ④The process of making the Zigong lanterns. A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ②③④ D. ①②④ 30. What is the best title for the passage? A. AI Technology Develops Fast B. Wonderful World Traditional Art C. Creative Themes of Zigong Lanterns D.

Let’s hear her story. A while ago, the store had a mouse problem. Mice came in with the birdseed, so a shop clerk brought his cat Lewis to help. Lewis was great at catching mice. What’s more, he made everyone happy—clerks smiled more, and customers loved seeing him. Soon, Lewis became a part of the store. But when his owner retired (退休), Lewis left too. The store team knew they needed another cat friend, so they saved Cinder from an animal shelter. Sometimes, they called her Cinderella. Cinder isn’t a shy house cat. The store gives her just the right mix of safety and freedom. She walks around to greet customers, lies on the counter to take naps, and even plays under shopping carts. But if she wants to be alone, she’ll quietly walk away. To keep her safe, the team put a tracker in her collar (项圈). They also hung signs to tell visitors there’s a cat around. Cinder has many fans. For them, looking for Cinder is the first thing to do when they enter the store. They hope she’ll say “hi” before they start shopping. Some people even stop by just to pet her—they don’t need to buy anything at all! 46. Why did the store think they needed a cat? List two reasons. ______________________46______________________ 47-49.
