第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Many of us have entertained the idea of learning a foreign language. Here are a few examples, ranked in order of the number of hours it takes the average English speakers to master them from lowest to highest:
●Easiest(about 600 hours of study)
Want to have no trouble fitting in on the streets of Paris? You will make it after just 600 hours of study. The popular Latin languages —Italian, French, Spanish and Portuguese —require about 600 hours of study to achieve “general professional proficiency” in speaking and reading. They share many words with English, but differ significantly in meanings.
●German(750 hours)
Interested in reading Karl May’s “Wild West” series in its original language? You’ll need to spend750 hours mastering German first. With nouns that are masculine, feminine and neutral, verbs that are given various different forms and an extremely strict sentence arrangement, German may appear impossible to start with. But pronunciation and spelling is straightforward and once you learn the —admittedly many —rules, that’s it. German teachers used to joke that it takes you a year to say, “I’m travelling on the bus,” but once you’re on that bus,it’s plain sailing.
●Greek(1,100 hours)
Modern Greek is maybe the easiest language to learn that uses a different alphabet. Because Greek is also a language that’s contributed numerous words to English. Indeed, in 1957,Xenophon Zolotas, the then governor of the Bank of Greece, gave two speeches to the IMF that contained just Greek loanwords apart from the unavoidable basic English.
●Arabic(2,200 hours)
There’s an interesting story about a pharmaceutical(制药)company that advertised painkiller with three pictures. The left picture depicted a woman with a headache. The middle one showed hers wallowing the pill and the right one had her smiling after the pain had disappeared. It worked everywhere except in the Arab world, which read it from right to left.
It takes the average native English speaker a whopping 2,200 hours to become proficient in Arabic. But who can resist a language with eleven words for love, five degrees of swearing and close to 100words describing a camel?
21.Who is this passage intended for?
A.German speakers. B.Greek speakers. C.English speakers. D.Arabic speakers
22.Which language makes a great contribution to English vocabulary?
A.Greek. B.German C.Spanish. D.French.
23.What is special about Arabic?
A.The way it advertises. B.The habit of reading.
C.The time to master it. D.The expressions to say love.
【答案】21.C 22.A 23.B
【导语】这是一篇应用文,主要讲述了学习不同外语所需要的平均学习时间,以及这些语言的一些特点。
21.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Here are a few examples, ranked in order of the number of hours it takes the average English speakers to master them from lowest to highest”(这里有一些例子,按照平均英语使用者掌握它们所需的时间从低到高进行排名)可推知,这篇文章是为英语使用者准备的,故选C。
22.细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Because Greek is also a language that’s contributed numerous words to English.”(因为希腊语也是对英语词汇有很大贡献的一种语言)可推知,希腊语对英语词汇有很大贡献,故选A。
23.推理判断题。根据文章第五段“There’s an interesting story about a pharmaceutical(制药)company that advertised painkiller with three pictures. The left picture depicted a woman with a headache. The middle one showed hers wallowing the pill and the right one had her smiling after the pain had disappeared. It worked everywhere except in the Arab world, which read it from right to left.”(有一个有趣的故事,一家制药公司用三张照片宣传止痛药。左图描绘了一个头痛的女人。中间的照片是她吞下药片的样子,右边的照片是她在疼痛消失后的微笑。除了阿拉伯语,它在任何地方都是有效的,阿拉伯语从右到左阅读它。)可推知,阿拉伯语的特殊之处在于它的阅读习惯,故选B。
B
Last spring, I visited my grandmother’s hometown in a small village in Shanxi. There, I watched an elderly woman named Mrs. Wang cut paper with a pair of sharp scissors. Her hands moved quickly and smoothly, turning a plain piece of red paper into a lively picture of two pandas eating bamboo. Curious, I asked her to teach me. My first try was a mess — the paper tore, and my “fish” looked more like a strange shape. Mrs. Wang smiled and said, “Paper cutting isn’t just about cutting; it’s about feeling the paper with your heart.” After an hour of practice, I finally made a simple butterfly, and the joy I felt was beyond words.
This experience made me think deeply about the value of traditional Chinese paper cutting. For hundreds of years, this art has been passed down from generation to generation, carrying people’s wishes for happiness, health and harmony. Unlike machine-made products, each hand-cut work is unique — no two are exactly the same. The patterns, from dragons and phoenixes to flowers and animals, all have special meanings. For example, red paper symbolizes good luck, and double happiness characters are often used in weddings.
Sadly, this traditional art is slowly fading in modern society. Young people are more interested in digital games and online entertainment than in learning such skills. Many master craftsmen are getting old, and few young people want to take over their work. But paper cutting is more than just an art; it’s a part of our cultural identity. It connects us to our ancestors and tells the story of our history.
We can’t let this art die. It’s time to take action — schools can offer paper cutting courses, museums can hold exhibitions, and we can share these beautiful works on social media. By doing so, we can keep this traditional art alive and pass it on to future generations.
24.What can we know about the author’s first try?
A.It ended up with a total failure B.It gave the author great enjoyment
C.It was guided by Mrs. Wang strictly D.It produced a lovely fish shape
25.Why does the author mention red paper?
A.To show its wide use in daily life
B.To explain its cultural symbolic meaning
C.To stress area’s strict requirement
D.To prove its advantage over other colors
26.What is the author’s attitude to paper cutting?
A.He thinks it is totally out of date B.He believes it deserves to be saved
C.He feels it is too hard to learn well D.He doubts it can survive modern life
27.What does the art of paper cutting represent?
A.A way to make hand-made products B.A tool to connect people and nature
C.A symbol area’s strict requirement D.A carrier of Chinese cultural identity
【答案】24.A 25.B 26.B 27.D
【导语】本文为一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过作者的亲身经历引出对剪纸艺术价值、现状及传承的思考。
24.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“My first try was a mess — the paper tore, and my “fish” looked more like a strange shape.(我的第一次尝试一塌糊涂——纸被剪破,我剪的“鱼”看起来更像一个奇怪的形状。)”可知,作者的第一次尝试一塌糊涂,因此首次尝试并不成功。故选A。
25.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The patterns, from dragons and phoenixes to flowers and animals, all have special meanings. For example, red paper symbolizes good luck, and double happiness characters are often used in weddings.(从龙凤到花草动物,每一种图案都有特殊寓意。例如,红纸象征吉祥,“囍”字常用于婚礼。)”可知,作者在第二段举例说明剪纸图案的象征意义时提到红纸象征好运,旨在通过红色纸张的例子解释剪纸文化中的象征含义。故选B。
26.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“We can’t let this art die. It’s time to take action(我们不能让这门艺术消亡。是时候采取行动了)”可知,作者在最后一段明确呼吁不能让这门艺术消亡,并提出具体建议,由此可推知作者认为剪纸艺术值得被保护和传承。因此选B。
27.推理判断题。根据文章第三段“But paper cutting is more than just an art; it’s a part of our cultural identity. It connects us to our ancestors and tells the story of our history.(但剪纸不仅仅是一门艺术,它更是我们文化认同的一部分。它将我们与祖先相连,讲述着我们的历史故事。)”可知,文中第三段强调,剪纸不仅仅是一门艺术,它是我们文化认同的一部分。它将我们与祖先相连,讲述我们的历史故事,这直接说明剪纸是中华文化身份的载体。故选D。

Passant, an Egyptian girl, won the 18th “Chinese Bridge” World University Chinese Language Competition in 2019. Now she is a Chinese teacher at the Confucius Institute of Cairo University in Egypt. When asked how she became an excellent Chinese teacher, she always talked about her journey of learning Chinese.
When she was a child, Passant was curious about Chinese. Interestingly, her father paid special attention to China’s economic development at that time, who believed the relationship between Egypt and China would become increasingly close. Later, with many Chinese companies setting up operations in Egypt, her father realized that learning Chinese was very beneficial for one’s future development. So, at the suggestion of her father, Passant started her journey of learning Chinese.
Although Passant made full preparations for her study, her journey of learning Chinese was not without challenges, “Chinese is completely different from my native language. So I needed to put in extra effort to learn.” Through continuous hard work, Passant’s Chinese proficiency (熟练) improved over time.
In September 2019, after graduating from Cairo University, Passant went to Beijing Normal University to pursue her master’s degree. In July 2021, after two years of study, she obtained her master’s degree and became a Chinese teacher at the Confucius Institute of Cairo University.
In 2018, she had the opportunity to study at Shandong University. During her studies, she served as the only foreign student in a volunteer teaching team and went to ji’an, Jiangxi Province, for a 10-day teaching mission. Before joining the teaching project, the interviewer told her that she might be the first foreigner the children in the rural areas had ever seen, and it was hard to predict how they would react. However, in Jiangxi, she felt the warmth of the children. Many children cried when she left.
Every time she recalled the scene, she said, “I miss them very much and hope one day I can return. And I think learning Chinese has made me a better version of myself.”
28.Which word can be used to describe Passant’s father?
A.Long-sighted B.Ambitious C.Determined D.Easy-going
29.What can be learnt about Passant?
A.Her hard work on learning Chinese paid off.
B.Her process of learning Chinese went smoothly.
C.She was the first foreign student to teach Chinese.
D.She received her master’s degree at Cairo University.
30.What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A.She had a hard life in Ji’an.
B.She will go back to teach children in Ji’an soon.
C.Learning Chinese has made a difference to her.
D.She was frightened by the interviewer’s words.
31.What can be a suitable title for the text?

The Blackhawk Museum in Danville, California, offers a glimpse into the art, culture, and history of ancient China. The museum’s “Into China” gallery exhibits rare treasures from this East Asian country, which has a rich history.
“The museum was designed to help visitors learn more about ancient Chinese history in a unique way,” said Joel Hodge, a program director at the museum. “Many of the items in the gallery can only be seen here or in China.”
According to Hodge, about 200,000 to 250,000 people visit the museum each year. “Into China” visitors can see a replica (复制品) of the Forbidden City, an amazing complex located in Beijing, China’s capital. Replicas of the city’s buildings offer a bird’s eye view of the world of China’s emperors. A replica of the Dragon Throne, on which Emperors once sat high above the ground, serves as a reminder of hereditary (世袭的) power.
The exhibition also introduces visitors to Confucius, one of the most celebrated philosophers in history. Confucius’ teachings further stressed kindness and morality. Visitors can learn how his beliefs helped shape the culture of ancient China.
There’re other special treasures, and a porcelain room holds glass vases decorated with beautiful drawings of nature and animals. “The artworks in the gallery were created in the same way ancient Chinese craftsmen would make them,” Hodge noted. “That way, visitors can see how ancient pottery, instruments, and pieces of art were made.”
Finally, replicas of China’s famous terracotta warriors are on exhibition. The original sculptures were unearthed in the 20th century. They had been buried with the first Chinese Emperor to protect him in the afterlife.
“The terracotta soldiers are my favorite part of the exhibition,” said Greg Gregory, who was visiting the Blackhawk with his son. “It’s amazing to think that the ancient Chinese spent 40 years making them. Seeing the replicas really takes you back to the time when the people of ancient China looked at these soldiers as a symbol of protection.”
32.What is the purpose of the museum’s “Into China” gallery?
A.To develop people’s interest in cultures. B.To attract a lot more visitors to China.
C.To make Chinese ancient culture known. D.To draw wide attention to modern China.
33.What makes the artworks in the “Into China” gallery so special?
A.Their special shapes. B.Their nice decoration.
C.Their unique materials. D.Their producing method.
34.What did Greg Gregory talk about concerning the terracotta warriors?
A.The greatness. B.The history. C.The application. D.The significance.
35.What might be the best title for the text?
A.Learning about China from a gallery B.Researching the culture of ancient China
C.Adding Chinese artworks to a museum D.Visiting an amazing museum in China
【答案】32.C 33.D 34.A 35.A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了美国加州黑鹰博物馆的“走进中国”展厅通过仿制紫禁城、兵马俑及传统工艺,生动展示了中国古代历史文化,旨在帮助游客深入了解这一古老文明。
32.细节理解题。根据第二段“The museum was designed to help visitors learn more about ancient Chinese history in a unique way(该博物馆的设立旨在以一种独特的方式帮助游客更深入地了解中国古代历史)”可知,该博物馆“走进中国”展厅旨在让世人了解中国古代文化。故选C。
33.细节理解题。根据第五段““The artworks in the gallery were created in the same way ancient Chinese craftsmen would make them,” Hodge noted. “That way, visitors can see how ancient pottery, instruments, and pieces of art were made.” (霍奇指出:“画廊里的这些艺术品的制作方式与古代中国工匠制作此类物品的方式如出一辙。这样一来,游客就能亲眼看到古代陶器、乐器以及艺术品是如何制作出来的了。”)”可知,“走进中国”展厅里的这些艺术品之所以如此特别,原因在于其制作方法。故选D。
34.细节理解题。根据最后一段““The terracotta soldiers are my favorite part of the exhibition,” said Greg Gregory, who was visiting the Blackhawk with his son. “It’s amazing to think that the ancient Chinese spent 40 years making them. Seeing the replicas really takes you back to the time when the people of ancient China looked at these soldiers as a symbol of protection.”(“这些兵马俑是我此次参观展览中最喜欢的部分,”格雷格·格雷戈里说道,他正和儿子一同参观“黑鹰”博物馆。“想想看,古代中国人花了40年的时间才制作完成这些兵马俑。看到这些复制品真的能让人回到古代中国时期,那时人们将这些士兵视为保护的象征。”)”可知,格雷格·格雷戈里在谈到兵马俑时谈到了兵马俑的伟大之处。故选A。
35.主旨大意题。根据第一段“The Blackhawk Museum in Danville, California, offers a glimpse into the art, culture, and history of ancient China.

第二节(共5小题:每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分)
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Every year, the international education company Education First (EF) ranks countries based on their English skills. Since 2011, when the first survey was done, Scandinavians (斯堪的那维亚人) — people from Norway, Sweden and Denmark — have ranked among the top five countries.
36 But it’s also because of the way English is taught in their schools, their use of English media, and because they see English as a valuable professional skill.
Norwegian, Swedish and Danish are North Germanic languages. 37 English is one of these West Germanic languages. Some researchers even think English might be a Scandinavian language. That would explain something. 38
But that’s only part of the reason that many Scandinavians are fluent in English. 39 For example, many Norwegian TV shows are in English — and they don’t use subtitles — and most of the top songs in Denmark are by American musicians.
Scandinavians know English skills matter for work and travel. Timetric did a survey. It showed most Scandinavians take one or more international trips a year. That’s more than in most countries. 40 They go to English-speaking schools.
English is now the world’s most commonly spoken language, with nearly 390 million native speakers and almost twice as many non-native speakers.
A.One factor is their strong emphasis on education.
B.For example, English and Swedish share over 1,500 words.
C.It’s also common for Scandinavian college students to study abroad.
D.They split from West Germanic languages less than 1,800 years ago.
E.Such international exposure often begins with student exchange programs.
F.Scandinavian children are surrounded by English media from a very young age.
G.This is partly because of their location and shared linguistic history with English.
【答案】36.G 37.D 38.B 39.F 40.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了斯堪的纳维亚国家(挪威、瑞典、丹麦)的国民英语水平常年位居世界前列的原因,包括语言渊源、英语教学模式、媒体环境以及英语在工作和旅行中的实用价值等。
36.根据上文“Since 2011, when the first survey was done, Scandinavians(斯堪的那维亚人) — people from Norway, Sweden and Denmark — have ranked among the top five countries. (自2011年首次开展这项调查以来,斯堪的纳维亚人——来自挪威、瑞典和丹麦的人群——所在的国家一直位列前五。)”以及下文“But it’s also because of the way English is taught in their schools, their use of English media... (但这也是因为他们学校的英语教学方式、对英语媒体的使用……)”可知,此空需要引出斯堪的纳维亚人英语好的部分原因,且与下文的“also because of”形成“partly because of... also because of...”的递进逻辑。G选项“This is partly because of their location and shared linguistic history with English. (部分原因在于他们的地理位置以及与英语共通的语言发展史)”中的“partly because of” 完美衔接下文的“also because of”,同时开启对原因的分析,符合语境。故选G项。
37.根据上文“Norwegian, Swedish and Danish are North Germanic languages. (挪威语、瑞典语和丹麦语都属于北日耳曼语支。)”以及下文“English is one of these West Germanic languages. (英语则属于西日耳曼语支。)”可知,此空需要建立北日耳曼语支和西日耳曼语支之间的联系。D选项“They split from West Germanic languages less than 1,800 years ago. (它们在距今不到1800年前才与西日耳曼语支分化开来。)”中的“They”指代前文的“North Germanic languages”,“split from West Germanic languages” 搭建了两类语言的关联,为下文“英语和斯堪的纳维亚语言渊源深厚”做铺垫,符合语境。故选D项。
38.根据上文“Some researchers even think English might be a Scandinavian language. That would explain something. (一些研究者甚至认为英语可能算是一种斯堪的纳维亚语言。这一点可以解释一个现象。)”可知,此空需要举例说明英语和斯堪的纳维亚语言的关联性,佐证前文观点。B选项“For example, English and Swedish share over 1,500 words. (例如,英语和瑞典语有超过1500个共通词汇。)”通过“词汇共通”的具体例子,印证了两类语言的亲缘关系,符合语境。故选B项。
39.根据上文“But that’s only part of the reason that many Scandinavians are fluent in English. (但这只是斯堪的纳维亚人英语流利的部分原因。)”以及下文“For example, many Norwegian TV shows are in English — and they don’t use subtitles — and most of the top songs in Denmark are by American musicians. (例如,许多挪威的电视节目都是英语原声且无字幕,丹麦的大多数热门歌曲也都出自美国音乐人之手。)”可知,此空需要提出另一个原因,且该原因与下文的“英语电视节目、英文歌曲”相关。F选项“Scandinavian children are surrounded by English media from a very young age. (斯堪的纳维亚的孩子从小就被英语媒体环境包围。)”中的“English media” 对应下文的电视节目和歌曲举例,点明了英语媒体对语言学习的影响,符合语境。故选F项。
40.根据上文“Timetric did a survey. It showed most Scandinavians take one or more international trips a year. That’s more than in most countries. (Timetric公司开展的一项调查显示,大多数斯堪的纳维亚人每年至少会出国旅行一次,这个比例高于大多数国家。)”以及下文“They go to English-speaking schools. (他们会去英语国家的学校就读。)”可知,此空需要承接前文的“国际旅行”,引出斯堪的纳维亚人更多的国际接触机会,且与下文的“英语国家求学”相关。C选项“It’s also common for Scandinavian college students to study abroad. (斯堪的纳维亚的大学生出国留学也十分常见。)”中的“study abroad” 既衔接了前文的国际出行,又呼应了下文的“go to English-speaking schools”,符合语境。故选C项。

第二节(共10小题:每小题1. 5分, 满分15分)
阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The Han people(汉族) have its own spoken and written language — Chinese. It is the most commonly used language in China and among the largest 56 (language) in the world.
One possibility is that written Chinese came out in 57 (it) earliest form about 6,000 years ago. The Chinese characters today, also 58 (call) “Hanzi”, develop from those used on bones and tortoiseshell (龟甲) more than 3,000 years ago. It’s said that there are more than 80,000 characters, of 59 only about 3,500 are in common use.
Mandarin(普通话) is a kind of Chinese dialect spoken across most of 60 (north) China. The term “Mandarin” can also refer to Standard Mandarin, which 61 (base) on the Mandarin dialect spoken in Beijing. It is officially regarded as the standard for the People’s Republic of China.
Why do most non-Chinese speakers have a tendency 62 (learn) Standard Mandarin? Because they are aware 63 the importance of Mandarin and Mandarin is 64 (gradual) becoming popular. Mandarin is understood by most Chinese people. As mentioned above, it is China’s national language. Whether you are interested in basic communication, scholarly research, or you are searching for a career in China, Standard Mandarin is 65 necessary tool for communication.
【答案】
56.languages 57.its 58.called 59.which 60.northern 61.is based 62.to learn 63.of 64.gradually 65.a
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了汉语的特点、汉字的演变、普通话的定义及学习普通话的重要性。
56.考查名词复数。句意:它是中国最常用的语言,也是世界上使用人数最多的语言之一。根据空前among the largest可知,空处需用名词复数,表示“……之一”。故填languages。
57.考查形容词性物主代词。句意:有一种可能性是,书面汉语在大约6000年前就以最早的形式出现了。根据空后名词form可知,空处需用形容词性物主代词its作定语。故填its。
58.考查非谓语动词。句意:今天的汉字,也被称为“汉字”,是由3000多年前在骨头和龟甲上使用的汉字发展而来的。空处需用非谓语动词作定语修饰名词characters,call和characters为逻辑上的动宾关系,所以空处需用过去分词called作后置定语。故填called。
59.考查定语从句。句意:据说有8万多个汉字,其中只有约3500个是常用字。分析句子结构可知,空处需用关系词引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是characters,指物,关系词在定语从句中作介词of的宾语,所以空处需用关系代词which引导定语从句。故填which。
60.考查形容词。句意:普通话是中国北方大部分地区使用的一种汉语方言。根据空后名词China可知,空处需用形容词作定语修饰名词,north的形容词为northern“北方的”。故填northern。
61.考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:“普通话”一词也可以指标准普通话,它是以北京的普通话方言为基础的。根据句子结构可知,此处是which引导的非限制性定语从句,从句缺少谓语,be based on“以……为基础”,固定短语,此处描述的是客观事实,所以空处谓语动词需用一般现在时,先行词是单数Standard Mandarin,所以be动词需用is。故填is based。
62.考查非谓语动词。句意:为什么大多数非汉语使用者倾向于学习标准普通话?have a tendency to do sth.“有做某事的倾向”,固定搭配。故填to learn。
63.考查介词。句意:因为他们意识到普通话的重要性,而且普通话正逐渐流行起来。be aware of“意识到”,固定短语,所以空处需用介词of。故填of。
64.考查副词。句意同上。根据空后动词becoming可知,空处需用副词作状语修饰动词,gradual的副词为gradually“逐渐地”。故填gradually。
65.考查冠词。句意:无论你是对基本交流、学术研究感兴趣,还是在中国寻找职业,标准普通话都是交流的必要工具。根据空后单数可数名词tool和空后形容词necessary可知,此处表示泛指 “一个必要的工具”,需用不定冠词,necessary是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以空处需用不定冠词a。故填a。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料:根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Half a year ago, Li Mei’s father received a notice from his company stating that he needed to work in Paris for two years. So her mother decided to move to Paris and asked Li Mei if she was willing to go with them. Despite having to leave her familiar surroundings, Li Mei didn’t want to be separated from her parents. One month ago, the whole family relocated to the 13th arrondissement (区) of Paris, and Li Mei successfully enrolled in a local high school.
Li Mei started her high school journey in the vibrant city of Paris. While she was eager to immerse herself in the new culture, some aspects of adapting proved to be more challenging than she had pictured in mind, especially when it came to something as personal as food.
While her French classmates ate salads, Li Mei took out a package of steamed rice. During her school days, her lunch became a daily struggle. One Monday, one boy Pierre pointed at her lunch and whispered, “That looks strange.” Li Mei blushed and quietly ran out.
Over the following days, she refused the Chinese dishes her mother prepared and only bought sandwiches for lunch. Although she no longer received strange looks at school, she felt a little bit ashamed hiding what she truly liked.
Everything changed when her history teacher, Mr. Dupont, launched a project “Food & Culture Week”. Each student was to prepare a traditional dish and present its cultural significance. Li Mei hesitated — would anyone care about Chinese food here? But she really wanted to have a try. After much thought and careful selection, she decided to go with a food item related to traditional Chinese festivals, as festivals always seem attractive. Moreover, since some traditional Chinese festivals have gained a certain degree of popularity in France, this would make it easier for her classmates to understand and accept the dish she planned to prepare. She returned home and shared the wonderful news with her parents.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Li Mei devoted herself to preparing for the presentation.

Her mother taught her to make them — kneading glutinous rice flour, wrapping black sesame filling, and shaping small round balls. Li Mei also searched materials online, made a poster with pictures of sweet dumplings and Lantern Festival scenes, and wrote notes about their meaning: reunion and good wishes. She practiced introducing the dish repeatedly, adjusting her pronunciation to make it clear for classmates.
The presentation day finally arrived. When Li Mei showed sweet dumplings and the poster, classmates were curious. She explained their connection with Lantern Festival, how families gather to eat them. After her speech, Pierre raised his hand, saying he once saw such dumplings in a festival event and wanted to taste. Li Mei shared her sweet dumplings, and everyone praised their taste. Many classmates said they learned about Chinese food culture. Li Mei felt proud, realizing her favorite food could bridge cultures and she no longer needed to hide her love for Chinese dishes.

Chinese: a Language Going to Future
The recent years have witnessed an increasing number of foreign students learning Chinese with great enthusiasm in our international school. An interview with hundreds of students from different countries has revealed the reasons.
First and foremost, our rich culture and profound history have attracted their attention, as they believe the Chinese language will deepen their understanding of a new China that blends ancient treasures with modern development, and mastering it fluently will give them favorable opportunities to live and work in China.
There is no denying that our country is widely recognized and growing more powerful internationally, of which we Chinese are truly proud. Undoubtedly, the Chinese language is bound to embrace a prosperous future.

Many of us have entertained the idea of learning a foreign language. Here are a few examples, ranked in order of the number of hours it takes the average English speakers to master them from lowest to highest:
●Easiest(about 600 hours of study)
Want to have no trouble fitting in on the streets of Paris? You will make it after just 600 hours of study. The popular Latin languages —Italian, French, Spanish and Portuguese —require about 600 hours of study to achieve “general professional proficiency” in speaking and reading. They share many words with English, but differ significantly in meanings.
●German(750 hours)
Interested in reading Karl May’s “Wild West” series in its original language? You’ll need to spend750 hours mastering German first. With nouns that are masculine, feminine and neutral, verbs that are given various different forms and an extremely strict sentence arrangement, German may appear impossible to start with. But pronunciation and spelling is straightforward and once you learn the —admittedly many —rules, that’s it. German teachers used to joke that it takes you a year to say, “I’m travelling on the bus,” but once you’re on that bus,it’s plain sailing.
●Greek(1,100 hours)
Modern Greek is maybe the easiest language to learn that uses a different alphabet. Because Greek is also a language that’s contributed numerous words to English. Indeed, in 1957,Xenophon Zolotas, the then governor of the Bank of Greece, gave two speeches to the IMF that contained just Greek loanwords apart from the unavoidable basic English.
●Arabic(2,200 hours)
There’s an interesting story about a pharmaceutical(制药)company that advertised painkiller with three pictures. The left picture depicted a woman with a headache. The middle one showed hers wallowing the pill and the right one had her smiling after the pain had disappeared. It worked everywhere except in the Arab world, which read it from right to left.
It takes the average native English speaker a whopping 2,200 hours to become proficient in Arabic. But who can resist a language with eleven words for love, five degrees of swearing and close to 100words describing a camel?
21.Who is this passage intended for?
A.German speakers. B.Greek speakers. C.English speakers. D.Arabic speakers
22.Which language makes a great contribution to English vocabulary?
A.Greek. B.German C.Spanish. D.French.
23.What is special about Arabic?
A.The way it advertises. B.The habit of reading.
C.The time to master it. D.The expressions to say love.
B
Last spring, I visited my grandmother’s hometown in a small village in Shanxi. There, I watched an elderly woman named Mrs. Wang cut paper with a pair of sharp scissors. Her hands moved quickly and smoothly, turning a plain piece of red paper into a lively picture of two pandas eating bamboo. Curious, I asked her to teach me. My first try was a mess — the paper tore, and my “fish” looked more like a strange shape. Mrs. Wang smiled and said, “Paper cutting isn’t just about cutting; it’s about feeling the paper with your heart.” After an hour of practice, I finally made a simple butterfly, and the joy I felt was beyond words.
This experience made me think deeply about the value of traditional Chinese paper cutting. For hundreds of years, this art has been passed down from generation to generation, carrying people’s wishes for happiness, health and harmony. Unlike machine-made products, each hand-cut work is unique — no two are exactly the same. The patterns, from dragons and phoenixes to flowers and animals, all have special meanings. For example, red paper symbolizes good luck, and double happiness characters are often used in weddings.
Sadly, this traditional art is slowly fading in modern society. Young people are more interested in digital games and online entertainment than in learning such skills. Many master craftsmen are getting old, and few young people want to take over their work. But paper cutting is more than just an art; it’s a part of our cultural identity. It connects us to our ancestors and tells the story of our history.
We can’t let this art die. It’s time to take action — schools can offer paper cutting courses, museums can hold exhibitions, and we can share these beautiful works on social media. By doing so, we can keep this traditional art alive and pass it on to future generations.
24.What can we know about the author’s first try?
A.It ended up with a total failure B.It gave the author great enjoyment
C.It was guided by Mrs. Wang strictly D.It produced a lovely fish shape
25.Why does the author mention red paper?
A.To show its wide use in daily life
B.To explain its cultural symbolic meaning
C.To stress area’s strict requirement
D.To prove its advantage over other colors
26.What is the author’s attitude to paper cutting?
A.He thinks it is totally out of date B.He believes it deserves to be saved
C.He feels it is too hard to learn well D.He doubts it can survive modern life
27.What does the art of paper cutting represent?
A.A way to make hand-made products B.A tool to connect people and nature
C.A symbol area’s strict requirement D.A carrier of Chinese cultural identity
C
Passant, an Egyptian girl, won the 18th “Chinese Bridge” World University Chinese Language Competition in 2019. Now she is a Chinese teacher at the Confucius Institute of Cairo University in Egypt. When asked how she became an excellent Chinese teacher, she always talked about her journey of learning Chinese.
When she was a child, Passant was curious about Chinese. Interestingly, her father paid special attention to China’s economic development at that time, who believed the relationship between Egypt and China would become increasingly close. Later, with many Chinese companies setting up operations in Egypt, her father realized that learning Chinese was very beneficial for one’s future development. So, at the suggestion of her father, Passant started her journey of learning Chinese.
Although Passant made full preparations for her study, her journey of learning Chinese was not without challenges, “Chinese is completely different from my native language. So I needed to put in extra effort to learn.” Through continuous hard work, Passant’s Chinese proficiency (熟练) improved over time.
In September 2019, after graduating from Cairo University, Passant went to Beijing Normal University to pursue her master’s degree. In July 2021, after two years of study, she obtained her master’s degree and became a Chinese teacher at the Confucius Institute of Cairo University.
In 2018, she had the opportunity to study at Shandong University. During her studies, she served as the only foreign student in a volunteer teaching team and went to ji’an, Jiangxi Province, for a 10-day teaching mission. Before joining the teaching project, the interviewer told her that she might be the first foreigner the children in the rural areas had ever seen, and it was hard to predict how they would react. However, in Jiangxi, she felt the warmth of the children. Many children cried when she left.
Every time she recalled the scene, she said, “I miss them very much and hope one day I can return. And I think learning Chinese has made me a better version of myself.”
28.Which word can be used to describe Passant’s father?
A.Long-sighted B.Ambitious C.Determined D.Easy-going
29.What can be learnt about Passant?
A.Her hard work on learning Chinese paid off.
B.Her process of learning Chinese went smoothly.
C.She was the first foreign student to teach Chinese.
D.She received her master’s degree at Cairo University.
30.What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A.She had a hard life in Ji’an.
B.She will go back to teach children in Ji’an soon.
C.Learning Chinese has made a difference to her.
D.She was frightened by the interviewer’s words.
31.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.An Egyptian Volunteer’s Experience in China
B.An Egyptian Girl’s Journey of Learning Chinese
C.An Egyptian Teacher’s Life Experience in China
D.An Egyptian World Champion’s Experience in China

The Blackhawk Museum in Danville, California, offers a glimpse into the art, culture, and history of ancient China. The museum’s “Into China” gallery exhibits rare treasures from this East Asian country, which has a rich history.
“The museum was designed to help visitors learn more about ancient Chinese history in a unique way,” said Joel Hodge, a program director at the museum. “Many of the items in the gallery can only be seen here or in China.”
According to Hodge, about 200,000 to 250,000 people visit the museum each year. “Into China” visitors can see a replica (复制品) of the Forbidden City, an amazing complex located in Beijing, China’s capital. Replicas of the city’s buildings offer a bird’s eye view of the world of China’s emperors. A replica of the Dragon Throne, on which Emperors once sat high above the ground, serves as a reminder of hereditary (世袭的) power.
The exhibition also introduces visitors to Confucius, one of the most celebrated philosophers in history. Confucius’ teachings further stressed kindness and morality. Visitors can learn how his beliefs helped shape the culture of ancient China.
There’re other special treasures, and a porcelain room holds glass vases decorated with beautiful drawings of nature and animals. “The artworks in the gallery were created in the same way ancient Chinese craftsmen would make them,” Hodge noted. “That way, visitors can see how ancient pottery, instruments, and pieces of art were made.”
Finally, replicas of China’s famous terracotta warriors are on exhibition. The original sculptures were unearthed in the 20th century. They had been buried with the first Chinese Emperor to protect him in the afterlife.
“The terracotta soldiers are my favorite part of the exhibition,” said Greg Gregory, who was visiting the Blackhawk with his son. “It’s amazing to think that the ancient Chinese spent 40 years making them. Seeing the replicas really takes you back to the time when the people of ancient China looked at these soldiers as a symbol of protection.”
32.What is the purpose of the museum’s “Into China” gallery?
A.To develop people’s interest in cultures. B.To attract a lot more visitors to China.
C.To make Chinese ancient culture known. D.To draw wide attention to modern China.
33.What makes the artworks in the “Into China” gallery so special?
A.Their special shapes. B.Their nice decoration.
C.Their unique materials. D.Their producing method.
34.What did Greg Gregory talk about concerning the terracotta warriors?
A.The greatness. B.The history. C.The application. D.The significance.
35.What might be the best title for the text?
A.Learning about China from a gallery B.Researching the culture of ancient China
C.Adding Chinese artworks to a museum D.Visiting an amazing museum in China

Every year, the international education company Education First (EF) ranks countries based on their English skills. Since 2011, when the first survey was done, Scandinavians (斯堪的那维亚人) — people from Norway, Sweden and Denmark — have ranked among the top five countries.
36 But it’s also because of the way English is taught in their schools, their use of English media, and because they see English as a valuable professional skill.
Norwegian, Swedish and Danish are North Germanic languages. 37 English is one of these West Germanic languages. Some researchers even think English might be a Scandinavian language. That would explain something. 38
But that’s only part of the reason that many Scandinavians are fluent in English. 39 For example, many Norwegian TV shows are in English — and they don’t use subtitles — and most of the top songs in Denmark are by American musicians.
Scandinavians know English skills matter for work and travel. Timetric did a survey. It showed most Scandinavians take one or more international trips a year. That’s more than in most countries. 40 They go to English-speaking schools.
English is now the world’s most commonly spoken language, with nearly 390 million native speakers and almost twice as many non-native speakers.
A.One factor is their strong emphasis on education.
B.For example, English and Swedish share over 1,500 words.
C.It’s also common for Scandinavian college students to study abroad.
D.They split from West Germanic languages less than 1,800 years ago.
E.Such international exposure often begins with student exchange programs.
F.Scandinavian children are surrounded by English media from a very young age.
G.This is partly because of their location and shared linguistic history with English.

Half a year ago, Li Mei’s father received a notice from his company stating that he needed to work in Paris for two years. So her mother decided to move to Paris and asked Li Mei if she was willing to go with them. Despite having to leave her familiar surroundings, Li Mei didn’t want to be separated from her parents. One month ago, the whole family relocated to the 13th arrondissement (区) of Paris, and Li Mei successfully enrolled in a local high school.
Li Mei started her high school journey in the vibrant city of Paris. While she was eager to immerse herself in the new culture, some aspects of adapting proved to be more challenging than she had pictured in mind, especially when it came to something as personal as food.
While her French classmates ate salads, Li Mei took out a package of steamed rice. During her school days, her lunch became a daily struggle. One Monday, one boy Pierre pointed at her lunch and whispered, “That looks strange.” Li Mei blushed and quietly ran out.
Over the following days, she refused the Chinese dishes her mother prepared and only bought sandwiches for lunch. Although she no longer received strange looks at school, she felt a little bit ashamed hiding what she truly liked.
Everything changed when her history teacher, Mr. Dupont, launched a project “Food & Culture Week”. Each student was to prepare a traditional dish and present its cultural significance. Li Mei hesitated — would anyone care about Chinese food here? But she really wanted to have a try. After much thought and careful selection, she decided to go with a food item related to traditional Chinese festivals, as festivals always seem attractive. Moreover, since some traditional Chinese festivals have gained a certain degree of popularity in France, this would make it easier for her classmates to understand and accept the dish she planned to prepare. She returned home and shared the wonderful news with her parents.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Li Mei devoted herself to preparing for the presentation.

Many of us have entertained the idea of learning a foreign language. Here are a few examples, ranked in order of the number of hours it takes the average English speakers to master them from lowest to highest:
●Easiest(about 600 hours of study)
Want to have no trouble fitting in on the streets of Paris? You will make it after just 600 hours of study. The popular Latin languages —Italian, French, Spanish and Portuguese —require about 600 hours of study to achieve “general professional proficiency” in speaking and reading. They share many words with English, but differ significantly in meanings.
●German(750 hours)
Interested in reading Karl May’s “Wild West” series in its original language? You’ll need to spend750 hours mastering German first. With nouns that are masculine, feminine and neutral, verbs that are given various different forms and an extremely strict sentence arrangement, German may appear impossible to start with. But pronunciation and spelling is straightforward and once you learn the —admittedly many —rules, that’s it. German teachers used to joke that it takes you a year to say, “I’m travelling on the bus,” but once you’re on that bus,it’s plain sailing.
●Greek(1,100 hours)
Modern Greek is maybe the easiest language to learn that uses a different alphabet. Because Greek is also a language that’s contributed numerous words to English. Indeed, in 1957,Xenophon Zolotas, the then governor of the Bank of Greece, gave two speeches to the IMF that contained just Greek loanwords apart from the unavoidable basic English.
●Arabic(2,200 hours)
There’s an interesting story about a pharmaceutical(制药)company that advertised painkiller with three pictures. The left picture depicted a woman with a headache. The middle one showed hers wallowing the pill and the right one had her smiling after the pain had disappeared. It worked everywhere except in the Arab world, which read it from right to left.
It takes the average native English speaker a whopping 2,200 hours to become proficient in Arabic. But who can resist a language with eleven words for love, five degrees of swearing and close to 100words describing a camel?
21.Who is this passage intended for?
A.German speakers. B.Greek speakers. C.English speakers. D.Arabic speakers
22.Which language makes a great contribution to English vocabulary?
A.Greek. B.German C.Spanish. D.French.
23.What is special about Arabic?
A.The way it advertises. B.The habit of reading.
C.The time to master it. D.The expressions to say love.
B
Last spring, I visited my grandmother’s hometown in a small village in Shanxi. There, I watched an elderly woman named Mrs. Wang cut paper with a pair of sharp scissors. Her hands moved quickly and smoothly, turning a plain piece of red paper into a lively picture of two pandas eating bamboo. Curious, I asked her to teach me. My first try was a mess — the paper tore, and my “fish” looked more like a strange shape. Mrs. Wang smiled and said, “Paper cutting isn’t just about cutting; it’s about feeling the paper with your heart.” After an hour of practice, I finally made a simple butterfly, and the joy I felt was beyond words.
This experience made me think deeply about the value of traditional Chinese paper cutting. For hundreds of years, this art has been passed down from generation to generation, carrying people’s wishes for happiness, health and harmony. Unlike machine-made products, each hand-cut work is unique — no two are exactly the same. The patterns, from dragons and phoenixes to flowers and animals, all have special meanings. For example, red paper symbolizes good luck, and double happiness characters are often used in weddings.
Sadly, this traditional art is slowly fading in modern society. Young people are more interested in digital games and online entertainment than in learning such skills. Many master craftsmen are getting old, and few young people want to take over their work. But paper cutting is more than just an art; it’s a part of our cultural identity. It connects us to our ancestors and tells the story of our history.
We can’t let this art die. It’s time to take action — schools can offer paper cutting courses, museums can hold exhibitions, and we can share these beautiful works on social media. By doing so, we can keep this traditional art alive and pass it on to future generations.
24.What can we know about the author’s first try?
A.It ended up with a total failure B.It gave the author great enjoyment
C.It was guided by Mrs. Wang strictly D.It produced a lovely fish shape
25.Why does the author mention red paper?
A.To show its wide use in daily life
B.To explain its cultural symbolic meaning
C.To stress area’s strict requirement
D.To prove its advantage over other colors
26.What is the author’s attitude to paper cutting?
A.He thinks it is totally out of date B.He believes it deserves to be saved
C.He feels it is too hard to learn well D.He doubts it can survive modern life
27.What does the art of paper cutting represent?
A.A way to make hand-made products B.A tool to connect people and nature
C.A symbol area’s strict requirement D.A carrier of Chinese cultural identity
C
Passant, an Egyptian girl, won the 18th “Chinese Bridge” World University Chinese Language Competition in 2019. Now she is a Chinese teacher at the Confucius Institute of Cairo University in Egypt. When asked how she became an excellent Chinese teacher, she always talked about her journey of learning Chinese.
When she was a child, Passant was curious about Chinese. Interestingly, her father paid special attention to China’s economic development at that time, who believed the relationship between Egypt and China would become increasingly close. Later, with many Chinese companies setting up operations in Egypt, her father realized that learning Chinese was very beneficial for one’s future development. So, at the suggestion of her father, Passant started her journey of learning Chinese.
Although Passant made full preparations for her study, her journey of learning Chinese was not without challenges, “Chinese is completely different from my native language. So I needed to put in extra effort to learn.” Through continuous hard work, Passant’s Chinese proficiency (熟练) improved over time.
In September 2019, after graduating from Cairo University, Passant went to Beijing Normal University to pursue her master’s degree. In July 2021, after two years of study, she obtained her master’s degree and became a Chinese teacher at the Confucius Institute of Cairo University.
In 2018, she had the opportunity to study at Shandong University. During her studies, she served as the only foreign student in a volunteer teaching team and went to ji’an, Jiangxi Province, for a 10-day teaching mission. Before joining the teaching project, the interviewer told her that she might be the first foreigner the children in the rural areas had ever seen, and it was hard to predict how they would react. However, in Jiangxi, she felt the warmth of the children. Many children cried when she left.
Every time she recalled the scene, she said, “I miss them very much and hope one day I can return. And I think learning Chinese has made me a better version of myself.”
28.Which word can be used to describe Passant’s father?
A.Long-sighted B.Ambitious C.Determined D.Easy-going
29.What can be learnt about Passant?
A.Her hard work on learning Chinese paid off.
B.Her process of learning Chinese went smoothly.
C.She was the first foreign student to teach Chinese.
D.She received her master’s degree at Cairo University.
30.What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A.She had a hard life in Ji’an.
B.She will go back to teach children in Ji’an soon.
C.Learning Chinese has made a difference to her.
D.She was frightened by the interviewer’s words.
31.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.An Egyptian Volunteer’s Experience in China
B.An Egyptian Girl’s Journey of Learning Chinese
C.An Egyptian Teacher’s Life Experience in China
D.An Egyptian World Champion’s Experience in China

The Blackhawk Museum in Danville, California, offers a glimpse into the art, culture, and history of ancient China. The museum’s “Into China” gallery exhibits rare treasures from this East Asian country, which has a rich history.
“The museum was designed to help visitors learn more about ancient Chinese history in a unique way,” said Joel Hodge, a program director at the museum. “Many of the items in the gallery can only be seen here or in China.”
According to Hodge, about 200,000 to 250,000 people visit the museum each year. “Into China” visitors can see a replica (复制品) of the Forbidden City, an amazing complex located in Beijing, China’s capital. Replicas of the city’s buildings offer a bird’s eye view of the world of China’s emperors. A replica of the Dragon Throne, on which Emperors once sat high above the ground, serves as a reminder of hereditary (世袭的) power.
The exhibition also introduces visitors to Confucius, one of the most celebrated philosophers in history. Confucius’ teachings further stressed kindness and morality. Visitors can learn how his beliefs helped shape the culture of ancient China.
There’re other special treasures, and a porcelain room holds glass vases decorated with beautiful drawings of nature and animals. “The artworks in the gallery were created in the same way ancient Chinese craftsmen would make them,” Hodge noted. “That way, visitors can see how ancient pottery, instruments, and pieces of art were made.”
Finally, replicas of China’s famous terracotta warriors are on exhibition. The original sculptures were unearthed in the 20th century. They had been buried with the first Chinese Emperor to protect him in the afterlife.
“The terracotta soldiers are my favorite part of the exhibition,” said Greg Gregory, who was visiting the Blackhawk with his son. “It’s amazing to think that the ancient Chinese spent 40 years making them. Seeing the replicas really takes you back to the time when the people of ancient China looked at these soldiers as a symbol of protection.”
32.What is the purpose of the museum’s “Into China” gallery?
A.To develop people’s interest in cultures. B.To attract a lot more visitors to China.
C.To make Chinese ancient culture known. D.To draw wide attention to modern China.
33.What makes the artworks in the “Into China” gallery so special?
A.Their special shapes. B.Their nice decoration.
C.Their unique materials. D.Their producing method.
34.What did Greg Gregory talk about concerning the terracotta warriors?
A.The greatness. B.The history. C.The application. D.The significance.
35.What might be the best title for the text?
A.Learning about China from a gallery B.Researching the culture of ancient China
C.Adding Chinese artworks to a museum D.Visiting an amazing museum in China

Every year, the international education company Education First (EF) ranks countries based on their English skills. Since 2011, when the first survey was done, Scandinavians (斯堪的那维亚人) — people from Norway, Sweden and Denmark — have ranked among the top five countries.
36 But it’s also because of the way English is taught in their schools, their use of English media, and because they see English as a valuable professional skill.
Norwegian, Swedish and Danish are North Germanic languages. 37 English is one of these West Germanic languages. Some researchers even think English might be a Scandinavian language. That would explain something. 38
But that’s only part of the reason that many Scandinavians are fluent in English. 39 For example, many Norwegian TV shows are in English — and they don’t use subtitles — and most of the top songs in Denmark are by American musicians.
Scandinavians know English skills matter for work and travel. Timetric did a survey. It showed most Scandinavians take one or more international trips a year. That’s more than in most countries. 40 They go to English-speaking schools.
English is now the world’s most commonly spoken language, with nearly 390 million native speakers and almost twice as many non-native speakers.
A.One factor is their strong emphasis on education.
B.For example, English and Swedish share over 1,500 words.
C.It’s also common for Scandinavian college students to study abroad.
D.They split from West Germanic languages less than 1,800 years ago.
E.Such international exposure often begins with student exchange programs.
F.Scandinavian children are surrounded by English media from a very young age.
G.This is partly because of their location and shared linguistic history with English.

Half a year ago, Li Mei’s father received a notice from his company stating that he needed to work in Paris for two years. So her mother decided to move to Paris and asked Li Mei if she was willing to go with them. Despite having to leave her familiar surroundings, Li Mei didn’t want to be separated from her parents. One month ago, the whole family relocated to the 13th arrondissement (区) of Paris, and Li Mei successfully enrolled in a local high school.
Li Mei started her high school journey in the vibrant city of Paris. While she was eager to immerse herself in the new culture, some aspects of adapting proved to be more challenging than she had pictured in mind, especially when it came to something as personal as food.
While her French classmates ate salads, Li Mei took out a package of steamed rice. During her school days, her lunch became a daily struggle. One Monday, one boy Pierre pointed at her lunch and whispered, “That looks strange.” Li Mei blushed and quietly ran out.
Over the following days, she refused the Chinese dishes her mother prepared and only bought sandwiches for lunch. Although she no longer received strange looks at school, she felt a little bit ashamed hiding what she truly liked.
Everything changed when her history teacher, Mr. Dupont, launched a project “Food & Culture Week”. Each student was to prepare a traditional dish and present its cultural significance. Li Mei hesitated — would anyone care about Chinese food here? But she really wanted to have a try. After much thought and careful selection, she decided to go with a food item related to traditional Chinese festivals, as festivals always seem attractive. Moreover, since some traditional Chinese festivals have gained a certain degree of popularity in France, this would make it easier for her classmates to understand and accept the dish she planned to prepare. She returned home and shared the wonderful news with her parents.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Li Mei devoted herself to preparing for the presentation.
