Zhong Ziying, a middle school student, is one of the team’s best lion dancers. Zhong is the first girl in her family to learn the lion dance. Other girls on the team said they had watched male performers performing since their childhood, but none of them had expected that they themselves could become lion dance performers one day. The girls started to go out to put on performances on the first day of the Chinese New Year of 2019. At first, they were not acknowledged (认可) by local villagers. But they didn’t give up and practiced hard. The team began taking part in competitions in July 2021 and won first place in several competitions. On October 1st, 2024, they even performed for “The First Lesson for the New Term”. With these achievements, the girls finally got the villagers’ support. To stay in the team, the girls must receive strict training. The team once had over 20 members, but now there are fewer than 20, with the youngest one just 6 years old. Some girls give up because the training is so arduous. Sometimes they need to practice a move over a thousand times to perform it well. Those who have stayed are the best. 13.

But they didn’t give up and practiced hard...With these achievements, the girls finally got the villagers’ support.”可知，本段主要讲述了女孩们一开始不被当地村民认可，但她们没有放弃，努力训练并取得成绩，最终得到了村民的支持，所以第四段主要介绍了她们是如何被当地人接受的。故选A。 【15题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Sometimes they need to practice a move over a thousand times to perform it well.”可知，有时她们需要练习一个动作上千次才能表演好，由此可推测训练是“困难的”，arduous意为“difficult”。故选C。 【16题详解】 最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了广州一支女子舞狮队自成立以来的发展历程、取得的成就，以及她们在训练中付出的努力和最终获得的认可，C选项“Girls perform a traditional dance in Guangzhou”最符合文章主旨。故选C。 E 阅读短文，从文后所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 When you go to the park, you might notice many older people listening to audiobooks (有声书) instead of reading paper books.

B Most 5-year-olds are just learning their ABCs. However, Bella, from the UK, has written a book and published (出版) it. Her book, The Lost Cat, tells the story of Snowy, a cat who gets lost after going outside alone at night. She hopes the book will teach children not to go outside alone at night. While lots of writers get inspiration (灵感) from life experiences, Bella’s creative idea came from one of her drawings. “I drew a picture. My daddy said I could write a book about it,” Bella said. Her mom, Chelsie Syme, said, “I’m really proud of Bella and I want to see her get recognition (认可).” That was why she then took Bella’s book to a book fair and found a publisher who was prepared to take a risk on it. Syme helped Bella correct some mistakes in her book and make necessary changes. In order to get a place in “Guinness World Records”, the book had to be published by a publishing house and have at least 1,000 copies printed and sold. Bella’s book met the standard, so she finally got the honor. Though Bella is a talented writer, she is just a kid who enjoys reading, swimming, and playing on her computer, like other children. In her free time, she is working on a sequel (续篇) to Snowy’s story. 5. What does Bella want to tell other children through her book? A. It’s necessary to learn English well. B.

An exhibition (展览) on the theme of Lively Creatures: Animals in Chinese Art was held at the museum, which displayed lots of ancient Chinese paintings of animals. Organizers of the exhibition produced a set of cards with animals on one side and their cultural meanings on the other side. For example, the deer is a symbol of long life. The cards were provided for visitors for free. Camden Lombard, a 17-year-old high school student, saw the exhibition and found it very interesting. “I feel like I know more about Chinese culture. I want to go to China someday to learn more,” Camden said. Makar is a teacher at a local school. “I take pride in such a wonderful exhibition. It is kind of eye-opening, and it brings the world together,” she said. “There are so many similarities, and we can enjoy the beauty and the artworks that artists from all over the world have created. We’re also trying to give our students an idea that there are differences in the world, but they are beautiful differences. Just try to enjoy them.” “Sometimes it’s hard for us to understand foreign artworks,” said Marla, a manager at the museum. “So I think it is really important to learn about different cultures, through which we can get many advantages. It helps us understand what people from different cultures value most and know what they like. It also helps build a close relationship with people who share this planet with us.” 9. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about? A. Rules of the museum. B. The history of the museum. C. An introduction to the museum. 10. What do we know about the exhibition?

When the army of the Jade Emperor came to the village, they saw the lights and thought that the village was already on fire, so they left.
