There’s a new sport at this year’s Paris Olympics: breaking (霹雳舞), sometimes called breakdancing. Here’s what you need to know about the sport.
Why is it called breaking?
Breaking started in the 1970s, in New York City. At parties, dancers got up to perform during musical “breaks”, which gave breaking its name. Breaking is now an important part of hip-hop culture around the world.
Who can be a breaker?
Anyone can be a B-girl or a B-boy, which is what breakers call themselves. Voctor Montalvo is an American B-boy. “Breakning is great because it’s part of hip-hop culture, and in hip-hop culture, it doesn’t matter what color you are, who you are, where you’re from. It’s inclusive,” he says. “It’s all about peace, love, unity, and having fun.”
What is the breakers’ language?
Breakers have their own language to describe their dance style. They take turns to show their best moves in a friendly competition called “battling” (斗舞). They might spin, flip, or blance on their hands. It’s like playing with the body to music. Normally, they would dance to fast and energetic music.
Do the breakers pick their own music?
No! In breaking competitions, a DJ picks the music for each round. The breakers never know what songs the DJ will pick, so they have to choose their moves on the spot (场所,地点).
4. When did breaking first appear at the Olympics?
A. In the 1970s. B. In 2024. C. In 2021.
5. Which is close to the underlined word “inclusive” in meaning in paragraph 3?
A. 独一无二的 B. 广泛的 C. 包容性强的
6. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?
A. An African girl can be a B-girl.
B The breakers usually dance to soft and light music.
C. A DJ picks the music for the breakers in breaking competitions.
7. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To tell us who can be breakers.
B. To introduce a new sport at this year’s Paris Olympics.
C. To encourage us to learn breaking.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. B

【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“ it doesn’t matter what color you are, who you are, where you’re from”及“ It’s all about peace, love, unity, and having fun.”可知无论你的肤色,你是谁,你来自哪里,都是关于和平,爱,团结,高兴,可知是包容性强的。故选C。

Most people learn the importance of the magic words “please” and “thank you” at a very early age. Here are some of the most common expressions.
Please. This is one of those words that can show good manners. Any time you ask for something, it’s always a good idea to add this word to soften (变温和) the request.
Thank you. When someone does something nice for you or gives you a gift, you should always say “Thank you”, even if it’s something you dislike.
Excuse me. This expression is used when you are asking forgiveness (原谅) for leaving the table, coughing, or troubling somebody.
May I…? The expression “May I…?” puts you on the same side as the person you are speaking to. For example, when you say “May I read that book?”, you give the person a chance to share what he is reading.
Pardon me. This expression can be exchanged with “Excuse me”. But the expression “Pardon me” sounds more formal (正式的).
Polite language is always helpful. Why not use it? Speaking to others politely won’t make others unhappy. It might actually help you make a few friends and help you go ahead in different situations.
8. You will get what you want more probably, if you add _________ to your request.
A. sorry B. please C. sure
9. You can say the expression “Thank you” when _________.
A. you receive a present you like very much
B. you want to borrow your brother’s textbook
C. you have to go to the restroom in a meeting.
10. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the last paragraph?
A. your life B. a gift C. polite language
11. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. The development of polite language.
B. When people use polite language.
C. The importance of polite language.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了在日常生活和交际中,使用礼貌用语的重要性及其常见的表达方式。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Please. This is one of those words that can show good manners. Any time you ask for something, it’s always a good idea to add this word to soften the request.”可知,如果你在请求前加上“please”,你更有可能得到你想要的。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“When someone does something nice for you or gives you a gift, you should always say ‘Thank you’, even if it’s something you dislike.”可知,当你收到你非常喜欢的礼物时,你应该说“谢谢”。故选A。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段“Polite language is always helpful. Why not use it? Speaking to others politely won’t make others unhappy.”可知,礼貌地和别人说话不会让别人不高兴,所以我们应该多使用礼貌的语言;据此可以推断,划线单词“it”指代上文中的“polite language”。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。综合全文,尤其是根据最后一段“Speaking to others politely won’t make others unhappy. It might actually help you make a few friends and help you go ahead in different situations.”可知,本文强调了使用礼貌用语的重要性,这些用语能够展现良好的礼貌和尊重,有助于建立良好的人际关系,并在不同场合中为自己带来好处。故选C。

四、综合技能(共25分)
简答及翻译(每小题2分,共10分)
Recently, a new kind of tourism called special forces style tourism (特种兵式旅游) is becoming popular in China. This new kind of tourism means visiting tourist attractions in a short intense period.
People who like taking photos and making recordings may choose this kind of tourism. With the popularity of social media, people prefer presenting their photos and get “likes” from their friends. At the same time, tourist attractions provide some special photo slots (打卡点) to attract visitors. Therefore, special forces style tourism has become a way for people to show their lives and experiences by sharing photos and recordings, which makes people get a sense of satisfaction.
④ Not all Chinese people enjoy special forces style tourism. Many people prefer to take a long vacation to go to a place for detailed tourism and experience the local way of life. They tend to enjoy slow-paced (慢速的) deep travel, by staying for a long time to gain a deeper understanding of local culture, customs, and experience local life. The slow-paced travel focuses more on feelings and experiences.
However, special forces tours do not necessarily mean that you have not fully experienced the charm of tourism. People remember the details of their travels more deeply by taking photos and recording them. These photos have become an important way for them to recall their travels, so they are not just looking at them without feeling them.
The value of tourism lies in discovery, experience, and perception (感知). Therefore, whether it is special forces style tourism or slow-paced deep travel, ⑤ 它值得尊敬和理解. We should all feel the scenery of the journey with our hearts, see with our eyes and walk with our feet.
36. Who may choose the special forces style tourism according to the passage?
______________________________________________________
37. What does the value of tourism lie in?
______________________________________________________
38. Which would you like to choose, special forces style tourism or slow-paced deep travel? Why?
______________________________________________________
39. 把划线部分翻译成中文。
______________________________________________________
40. 把划线部分翻译成英文。
______________________________________________________
【答案】36. People who like taking photos and making recordings.
37. Discovery, experience, and perception.
38. I would like to choose slow-paced deep travel. Because it allows for a more immersive cultural experience and provides a relaxing travel experience that enables true appreciation of the destinations.
39. 并非所有中国人都喜欢特种兵式旅游。
40. it is worth respecting and understanding.
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了中国一种新兴的旅游方式——特种兵式旅游,并对比了特种兵式旅游与慢节奏深度旅行的差异,以及讨论了旅游的价值所在。
【36题详解】
根据“People who like taking photos and making recordings may choose this kind of tourism”可知,喜欢拍照和录音的人可以选择特种兵式旅游。故填People who like taking photos and making recordings.
【37题详解】
根据“The value of tourism lies in discovery, experience, and perception”可知,旅游的价值在于发现、体验和感知。故填Discovery, experience, and perception.
【38题详解】
该题为开放性试题,答案合理即可。故填I would like to choose slow-paced deep travel. Because it allows for a more immersive cultural experience and provides a relaxing travel experience that enables true appreciation of the destinations.
【39题详解】
“Not all Chinese people”意为“并非所有中国人”;enjoy意为“喜欢”;“special forces style tourism”意为“特种兵式旅游”,故填:并非所有中国人都喜欢特种兵式旅游。
【40题详解】
由全文可知,该句为一般现在时。“它”为it,作主语;“值得做某事”为be worth doing,主语为it,be动词用is;“尊重和理解”为respect and understand,故填it is worth respecting and understanding.

There’s a new sport at this year’s Paris Olympics: breaking (霹雳舞), sometimes called breakdancing. Here’s what you need to know about the sport.
Why is it called breaking?
Breaking started in the 1970s, in New York City. At parties, dancers got up to perform during musical “breaks”, which gave breaking its name. Breaking is now an important part of hip-hop culture around the world.
Who can be a breaker?
Anyone can be a B-girl or a B-boy, which is what breakers call themselves. Voctor Montalvo is an American B-boy. “Breakning is great because it’s part of hip-hop culture, and in hip-hop culture, it doesn’t matter what color you are, who you are, where you’re from. It’s inclusive,” he says. “It’s all about peace, love, unity, and having fun.”
What is the breakers’ language?
Breakers have their own language to describe their dance style. They take turns to show their best moves in a friendly competition called “battling” (斗舞). They might spin, flip, or blance on their hands. It’s like playing with the body to music. Normally, they would dance to fast and energetic music.
Do the breakers pick their own music?
No! In breaking competitions, a DJ picks the music for each round. The breakers never know what songs the DJ will pick, so they have to choose their moves on the spot (场所,地点).
4. When did breaking first appear at the Olympics?
A. In the 1970s. B. In 2024. C. In 2021.
5. Which is close to the underlined word “inclusive” in meaning in paragraph 3?
A. 独一无二的 B. 广泛的 C. 包容性强的
6 Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?
A. An African girl can be a B-girl.
B. The breakers usually dance to soft and light music.
C. A DJ picks the music for the breakers in breaking competitions.
7. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To tell us who can be breakers.
B. To introduce a new sport at this year’s Paris Olympics.
C. To encourage us to learn breaking.
C
Most people learn the importance of the magic words “please” and “thank you” at a very early age. Here are some of the most common expressions.
Please. This is one of those words that can show good manners. Any time you ask for something, it’s always a good idea to add this word to soften (变温和) the request.
Thank you. When someone does something nice for you or gives you a gift, you should always say “Thank you”, even if it’s something you dislike.
Excuse me. This expression is used when you are asking forgiveness (原谅) for leaving the table, coughing, or troubling somebody.
May I…? The expression “May I…?” puts you on the same side as the person you are speaking to. For example, when you say “May I read that book?”, you give the person a chance to share what he is reading.
Pardon me. This expression can be exchanged with “Excuse me”. But the expression “Pardon me” sounds more formal (正式的).
Polite language is always helpful. Why not use it? Speaking to others politely won’t make others unhappy. It might actually help you make a few friends and help you go ahead in different situations.
8. You will get what you want more probably, if you add _________ to your request.
A. sorry B. please C. sure
9. You can say the expression “Thank you” when _________.
A. you receive a present you like very much
B. you want to borrow your brother’s textbook
C. you have to go to the restroom in a meeting.
10. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the last paragraph?
A. your life B. a gift C. polite language
11. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. The development of polite language.
B. When people use polite language.
C. The importance of polite language.

Recently a new kind of tourism called special forces style tourism (特种兵式旅游) is becoming popular in China. This new kind of tourism means visiting tourist attractions in a short intense period.
People who like taking photos and making recordings may choose this kind of tourism. With the popularity of social media, people prefer presenting their photos and get “likes” from their friends. At the same time, tourist attractions provide some special photo slots (打卡点) to attract visitors. Therefore, special forces style tourism has become a way for people to show their lives and experiences by sharing photos and recordings, which makes people get a sense of satisfaction.
④ Not all Chinese people enjoy special forces style tourism. Many people prefer to take a long vacation to go to a place for detailed tourism and experience the local way of life. They tend to enjoy slow-paced (慢速的) deep travel, by staying for a long time to gain a deeper understanding of local culture, customs, and experience local life. The slow-paced travel focuses more on feelings and experiences.
However, special forces tours do not necessarily mean that you have not fully experienced the charm of tourism. People remember the details of their travels more deeply by taking photos and recording them. These photos have become an important way for them to recall their travels, so they are not just looking at them without feeling them.
The value of tourism lies in discovery, experience, and perception (感知). Therefore, whether it is special forces style tourism or slow-paced deep travel, ⑤ 它值得尊敬和理解. We should all feel the scenery of the journey with our hearts, see with our eyes and walk with our feet.
36. Who may choose the special forces style tourism according to the passage?
