After several years in New York,I moved to Los Angeles to explore its unique lifestyle.Drawn to its creative energy and film industry,I found LA's slower pace centred on art,community,and tradition-unlike New York's intensity.Being flexible helped me adapt and fit in better,allowing me to appreciate these differences.The contrast deepened my understanding of American culture, especially LA's influence on trends.I also grew fascinated by old traditions tied to nature and their modern connections. My studies made me think about how societies are organized and the roles people play.I looked at how different cultures see leadership and beliefs.This work later became part of an art show and a book called With a Creative Purpose. Through my travels,I learnt that culture deeply affects our thoughts.In Madrid,people were relaxed about time,but in New York,being on time was very important.In LA,people valued new ideas and personal expression,while in Europe,history and customs were more respected. These experiences taught me that no single culture has all the answers.By living in different places,I gained a wider view of the world.Culture is like a pair ofglasses- Would you like to explore new cultures too?Understanding differences can help us grow and connect with others.CDBD ()4.What does the underlined word hectic"in Paragraph 1 mean?

I want to know about the public holidays in your country. How do you celebrate them? LIKE·COMMENT·SHARE Jaehyun an hour ago I'd like to introduce a special holiday in the Republic of Korea. It's called Chuseok(秋夕), and it is around September each year. We get to eat a lot on that day, for example, the songpyeon(松糕), a type of rice cake. It's in the shape of a half-moon. There can be many different tastes depending on what's inside, and my favourite is sesame. Olivia House yesterday Many holidays in Australia have something to do with religion, like Easter and Christmas. Our traditions may not be the same because we are in the Southern Hemisphere(南半球)! For example, Christmas takes place in summer. You may be surprised that we take a day off for Valentine's Day. Although some people may celebrate it in a romantic way, most people just choose to rest. Jiayue Wang Two days ago In Singapore, we have several public holidays every year. There are many celebrations, such as Chinese New Year, Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Deepavali. Since Singapore is a multiracial society, people can learn more about various cultures and customs. My family and I usually decorate the house according to specific festivals. ( ) 1．Who can you ask for more information if you are interested in Chuseok? BDC A．Qiuyue Wang. B．Jaehyun. C．Olivia House. D．Jiayue Wang. ( ) 2．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Qiuyue Wang wants to know about sport in other countries. B．People in Singapore can take one day off on Valentine's Day.

D．In a newspaper. （B） On a weekend during the Spring Festival, my parents and I were sitting in a restaurant. The drinks and food were good. When we finished, my father called the waiter and asked for the bill. It was a lovely meal, so my father wanted to leave a tip(小费). As we were ready to open the door to leave, the waiter caught up with us. He gave the tip back to us. My dad forgot that it was in China, and tipping was not common. However, in some countries, tipping is the custom. That's the way it is in the US. It's said to be good manners to tip those in the service sector (服务行业), including your waiter, taxi driver, hairdresser, doorman and so on. The better the service is, the higher the tip will be. But we usually give a tip between 15% and 20% of the bill. It can really put your maths skills to the test! So why is there a strong custom of tipping? In the US, waiters have a very low income(收入). But they can make more money from tips. As a US writer once wrote about her experience as a waitress, “It was difficult and I lived and died by my tips.” BBCA ( ) 4．Why did the waiter give the tip back to the writer's family? A．Because the meal wasn't good enough. B．Because we don't need to tip in China. C．Because the waiter thought they paid too much. D．Because the waiter didn't want the tip. ( ) 5．How much would someone tip the waiter for an 80-dollar meal in the US? A．5 dollars. B．15 dollars. C．25 dollars. D．80 dollars. ( ) 6．Why is tipping a custom in the US? A．Because people, such as waiters, offer service to customers. B．Because many waiters ask customers to give tips. C．Because people working in the service sector don't make much money. D．Because American people enjoy helping others. ( ) 7．What does the writer's words “It was difficult and I lived and died by my tips” mean? A．The writer's life was hard and tips were important to make a living. B．The writer had a very easy life through getting tips. C．The writer didn't care much about tips. D．The writer had a high income besides tips. （C） Hanfu fashion has become more and more popular with young people. China has followed Western fashion designs in recent years, but a growing number of young people are now looking to the past for fashion ideas. If you look closely around your city, you might notice hanfu, the traditional clothing that can date back to the Zhou Dynasty. A published report said that there would be about 6.9 million hanfu-lovers by the end of 2021, over 3 times as many as those in 2018, with most of whom were between 19 and 24 years old. But why has this traditional clothing become popular with young Chinese people? For some of them, it's a costume for relaxation. Dafan, a college student, said that dressing in hanfu is a way for her to get away from the troubles of real life. Modern clothing, on the other hand, represents the identity people need to show every day. “Hanfu and modern clothing help me to show the different sides in me,” she said. Other teenagers like hanfu because of the culture behind it. They see it as a way to reconnect with traditions. Its wide sleeves, crossed collars and flowing robes bring people back to ancient times. “Hanfu is the symbol of the traditional Chinese culture,” Nanhe, a costume studio owner, said. ( ) 8．When did Hanfu appear in China first? DBDD A．In 2018. B．In the Tang Dynasty. C．In 2019. D．In the Zhou Dynasty. ( ) 9．According to the passage, how many hanfu-lovers were there in 2018? A．About 600,000. B．About 2,000,000. C．About 500,000. D．About 8,000,000. ( ) 10．According to the report, who liked to buy hanfu best? A．Students from 4 to 15 years old. B．People from 13 to 19 years old. C．Adults between 30 and 50 years old. D．People between 19 and 24 years old. ( ) 11．In which part of the magazine can we most probably read this article? A．Buzz Words. B．Super Science. C．Story Land. D．Culture Corner. （D） “Chinese electric vehicle(EV) makers made a strong impression at the biennial(两年一次的) IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich last week, but it's hard to win lasting support from European consumers,” experts say. China was the largest source of foreign exhibitors at this year's event, with 116 companies among about 750 participants from more than 30 countries and regions. Many kinds of electric vehicles were on display, such as BYD, NIO and Xpeng. NIO showed predictive suspension(悬架) technology developed by ClearMotion, while BYD confirmed that production at its first European factory in Hungary would begin soon. Many electric vehicle makers in Europe have taken note of the growing competition. A sales manager said, “Chinese EVs are already doing better than European products in both technology and design. Chinese automakers(汽车制造商) are also making new things at a faster pace, usually bringing new models to market quicker than global peers.” “Chinese EV makers hold clear advantages,” said another vice president. “Their cost competitiveness(竞争力) comes from mastery of the whole supply chain. This allows them to keep prices down without sacrificing margins(利润).” “Europe is a very important market for us,” said Stella Li. “In the long run, Chinese electric vehicles will certainly establish themselves in Europe. But European firms will not give up the market, and they will continue to provide better products for customers.” BCCB ( ) 12．How many Chinese companies took part in IAA Mobility 2025?

D．They have better supply chains than Chinese makers. ( ) 15．Where is this passage most probably from? A．A storybook. B．A newspaper. C．A science textbook. D．A travel guide. 三、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） Bringing Luck to Your Exams What do you usually do before exams? Are there any special traditions in your country?

I liked its hectic life—people work long hours and always move. Living there changed how I saw time, work, and friendships. After several years in New York, I moved to Los Angeles to explore its unique lifestyle. Drawn to its creative energy and film industry, I found LA’s slower pace centred on art, community, and tradition—unlike New York's intensity. Being flexible helped me adapt and fit in better, allowing me to appreciate these differences. The contrast deepened my understanding of American culture, especially LA's influence on trends. I also grew fascinated by old traditions tied to nature and their modern connections. My studies made me think about how societies are organized and the roles people play. I looked at how different cultures see leadership and beliefs. This work later became part of an art show and a book called With a Creative Purpose. Through my travels, I learnt that culture deeply affects our thoughts. In Madrid, people were relaxed about time, but in New York, being on time was very important. In LA, people valued new ideas and personal expression, while in Europe, history and customs were more respected. These experiences taught me that no single culture has all the answers. By living in different places, I gained a wider view of the world. Culture is like a pair of glasses—__________. Would you like to explore new cultures too? Understanding differences can help us grow and connect with others. ( ) 4．What does the underlined word “hectic” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Calm and relaxed. B．Slow and boring. C．Busy and fast. D．Quiet and peaceful. ( ) 5．Why does the author suggest being flexible in new environments? A．It prevents cultural conflicts. B．It ensures faster career success. C．It makes travel more affordable. D．It helps us adapt and fit in better. ( ) 6．According to the author, how does travelling influence our thinking? A．It makes us value money less. B．It shows us different perspectives. C．It makes us prefer staying at home. D．It reduces our interest in other cultures. ( ) 7．What can be put in “__________” in the fifth paragraph? A．it decides what is normal B．it deeply influences our thoughts C．it helps us deal with new things D．it changes how we see things （C） Do you know that China is a very special and wonderful country? It is famous for its long history, rich culture and beautiful scenery. But today, I want to tell you about another great thing about China. China is a nation of etiquette (礼仪). Chinese people are among the most hospitable people in the world. If foreigners visit a Chinese family, they will be surprised at the warmth that they will receive as guests. Let me tell you more about what it's like to be a guest in a Chinese family. When you visit a Chinese family, the host usually makes tea for you. Then he will serve you snacks like biscuits or candies. Also, someone in the family will chat with you, never letting you feel lonely. At the same time, other family members will prepare a meal for you. Chinese people treat their guests to a big meal. They always present enough food. And the guests must be the first to eat. Perhaps one of the things that surprise Western guests most is that the Chinese host likes to put food in visitors’ bowls, which won't happen in Western countries. The Chinese family go out of their way to make you feel at home. As you finish eating, the host usually says, “It seems that you didn't eat much. Please have more.” Being warm and hospitable has long been an important part of Chinese culture and tradition. As Confucius (孔子) said thousands of years ago: To meet friends from afar, How happy we are! ( ) 8．As a guest in a Chinese family, what are you usually offered by the host? A．Coffee and candies. B．Juice and hamburgers. C．Tea and biscuits. D．Milk and hamburgers. ( ) 9．What the Chinese family do for the guests is to __________.

C．Comfortable. D．Interested. ( ) 11．What's the meaning of the words by Confucius at the end of the passage? A．学而时习之，不亦说乎! B．人不知而不愠，不亦君子乎! C．有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎! D．己所不欲，勿施于人! （D） In New York, there is a special place called the Chinese Theatre Works (CTW). Here, the artists perform beautiful Chinese puppet shows. They mix old Chinese traditions with new American ideas. Two people started the Chinese Theatre Works. They are Kuang-Yu Fong from China and Stephen from America. They use hand-carved puppets, silk costumes, and calligraphy brushes to tell Chinese stories. Some puppets are very old. Some puppets are new. Charlie is a young artist who works here. He says, “Puppetry is very playful. Puppets are like toys that come alive! They make me feel like a child again.” Charlie learned about Chinese puppets on the Internet. He loves the old Chinese traditions. Another worker, Chen, saves old puppet shows on computers. “These stories are too precious to lose,” he says. He makes sure children in the future can see them too. The shows mix Chinese and Western styles. They tell Chinese stories in English. In one show, they use projectors(投影仪) to make shadow puppets look wonderful. Kuang-Yu Fong and Stephen got married some years ago. They love working together. Stephen says Chinese puppetry seemed strange at first, but now he thinks it's so fun and loves it very much. They believe old traditions and new ideas can be friends. The artists' most popular puppet show is about the Monkey King. Children in New York laugh and clap when they see it. Some of them love Chinese culture from it. The artists hope to keep sharing Chinese stories with everyone. ( ) 12．The underlined word “playful” here means “__________”.

I want to know about the public holidays in your country. How do you celebrate them? LIKE·COMMENT·SHARE Jaehyun an hour ago I'd like to introduce a special holiday in the Republic of Korea. It's called Chuseok(秋夕), and it is around September each year. We get to eat a lot on that day, for example, the songpyeon(松糕), a type of rice cake. It's in the shape of a half-moon. There can be many different tastes depending on what's inside, and my favourite is sesame. Olivia House yesterday Many holidays in Australia have something to do with religion, like Easter and Christmas. Our traditions may not be the same because we are in the Southern Hemisphere(南半球)! For example, Christmas takes place in summer. You may be surprised that we take a day off for Valentine's Day. Although some people may celebrate it in a romantic way, most people just choose to rest. Jiayue Wang Two days ago In Singapore, we have several public holidays every year. There are many celebrations, such as Chinese New Year, Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Deepavali. Since Singapore is a multiracial society, people can learn more about various cultures and customs. My family and I usually decorate the house according to specific festivals. ( ) 1．Who can you ask for more information if you are interested in Chuseok? A．Qiuyue Wang. B．Jaehyun. C．Olivia House. D．Jiayue Wang. ( ) 2．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Qiuyue Wang wants to know about sport in other countries. B．People in Singapore can take one day off on Valentine's Day. C．The songpyeon is in the same shape of the moon. D．Both Chinese and Singaporeans celebrate Chinese New Year. ( ) 3．Where can we find the text? A．In a notice. B．In a storybook. C．On the internet. D．In a newspaper. （B） On a weekend during the Spring Festival, my parents and I were sitting in a restaurant. The drinks and food were good. When we finished, my father called the waiter and asked for the bill. It was a lovely meal, so my father wanted to leave a tip(小费). As we were ready to open the door to leave, the waiter caught up with us. He gave the tip back to us. My dad forgot that it was in China, and tipping was not common. However, in some countries, tipping is the custom. That's the way it is in the US. It's said to be good manners to tip those in the service sector (服务行业), including your waiter, taxi driver, hairdresser, doorman and so on. The better the service is, the higher the tip will be. But we usually give a tip between 15% and 20% of the bill. It can really put your maths skills to the test! So why is there a strong custom of tipping? In the US, waiters have a very low income(收入). But they can make more money from tips. As a US writer once wrote about her experience as a waitress, “It was difficult and I lived and died by my tips.” ( ) 4．Why did the waiter give the tip back to the writer's family? A．Because the meal wasn't good enough. B．Because we don't need to tip in China. C．Because the waiter thought they paid too much. D．Because the waiter didn't want the tip. ( ) 5．How much would someone tip the waiter for an 80-dollar meal in the US? A．5 dollars. B．15 dollars. C．25 dollars. D．80 dollars. ( ) 6．Why is tipping a custom in the US? A．Because people, such as waiters, offer service to customers. B．Because many waiters ask customers to give tips. C．Because people working in the service sector don't make much money. D．Because American people enjoy helping others. ( ) 7．What does the writer's words “It was difficult and I lived and died by my tips” mean? A．The writer's life was hard and tips were important to make a living. B．The writer had a very easy life through getting tips. C．The writer didn't care much about tips. D．The writer had a high income besides tips. （C） Hanfu fashion has become more and more popular with young people. China has followed Western fashion designs in recent years, but a growing number of young people are now looking to the past for fashion ideas. If you look closely around your city, you might notice hanfu, the traditional clothing that can date back to the Zhou Dynasty. A published report said that there would be about 6.9 million hanfu-lovers by the end of 2021, over 3 times as many as those in 2018, with most of whom were between 19 and 24 years old. But why has this traditional clothing become popular with young Chinese people? For some of them, it's a costume for relaxation. Dafan, a college student, said that dressing in hanfu is a way for her to get away from the troubles of real life. Modern clothing, on the other hand, represents the identity people need to show every day. “Hanfu and modern clothing help me to show the different sides in me,” she said. Other teenagers like hanfu because of the culture behind it. They see it as a way to reconnect with traditions. Its wide sleeves, crossed collars and flowing robes bring people back to ancient times. “Hanfu is the symbol of the traditional Chinese culture,” Nanhe, a costume studio owner, said. ( ) 8．When did Hanfu appear in China first? A．In 2018. B．In the Tang Dynasty. C．In 2019. D．In the Zhou Dynasty. ( ) 9．According to the passage, how many hanfu-lovers were there in 2018? A．About 600,000. B．About 2,000,000. C．About 500,000. D．About 8,000,000. ( ) 10．According to the report, who liked to buy hanfu best? A．Students from 4 to 15 years old. B．People from 13 to 19 years old. C．Adults between 30 and 50 years old. D．People between 19 and 24 years old. ( ) 11．In which part of the magazine can we most probably read this article? A．Buzz Words. B．Super Science. C．Story Land. D．Culture Corner. （D） “Chinese electric vehicle(EV) makers made a strong impression at the biennial(两年一次的) IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich last week, but it's hard to win lasting support from European consumers,” experts say. China was the largest source of foreign exhibitors at this year's event, with 116 companies among about 750 participants from more than 30 countries and regions. Many kinds of electric vehicles were on display, such as BYD, NIO and Xpeng. NIO showed predictive suspension(悬架) technology developed by ClearMotion, while BYD confirmed that production at its first European factory in Hungary would begin soon. Many electric vehicle makers in Europe have taken note of the growing competition. A sales manager said, “Chinese EVs are already doing better than European products in both technology and design. Chinese automakers(汽车制造商) are also making new things at a faster pace, usually bringing new models to market quicker than global peers.” “Chinese EV makers hold clear advantages,” said another vice president. “Their cost competitiveness(竞争力) comes from mastery of the whole supply chain. This allows them to keep prices down without sacrificing margins(利润).” “Europe is a very important market for us,” said Stella Li. “In the long run, Chinese electric vehicles will certainly establish themselves in Europe. But European firms will not give up the market, and they will continue to provide better products for customers.” ( ) 12．How many Chinese companies took part in IAA Mobility 2025? A．30 B．116 C．543 D．750 ( ) 13．From the fourth paragraph, we can know that __________. A．most electric vehicle makers are in Europe B．Chinese EV makers can get more money C．Chinese EVs are better than those in Europe D．some Chinese EV companies are in Europe ( ) 14．What can we infer about European EV makers from the passage? A．They will stop making EVs in the future. B．They don't care about Chinese EV makers' competition. C．They may try to improve their technology to compete. D．They have better supply chains than Chinese makers. ( ) 15．Where is this passage most probably from? A．A storybook. B．A newspaper. C．A science textbook. D．A travel guide. 三、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） Bringing Luck to Your Exams What do you usually do before exams? Are there any special traditions in your country?

After several years in New York,I moved to Los Angeles to explore its unique lifestyle.Drawn to its creative energy and film industry,I found LA's slower pace centred on art,community,and tradition-unlike New York's intensity.Being flexible helped me adapt and fit in better,allowing me to appreciate these differences.The contrast deepened my understanding of American culture, especially LA's influence on trends.I also grew fascinated by old traditions tied to nature and their modern connections. My studies made me think about how societies are organized and the roles people play.I looked at how different cultures see leadership and beliefs.This work later became part of an art show and a book called With a Creative Purpose. Through my travels,I learnt that culture deeply affects our thoughts.In Madrid,people were relaxed about time,but in New York,being on time was very important.In LA,people valued new ideas and personal expression,while in Europe,history and customs were more respected. These experiences taught me that no single culture has all the answers.By living in different places,I gained a wider view of the world.Culture is like a pair ofglasses- Would you like to explore new cultures too?Understanding differences can help us grow and connect with others.

Other teenagers like hanfu because of the culture behind it.They see it as a way to reconnect with traditions.Its wide sleeves,crossed collars and flowing robes bring people back to ancient times.

I liked its hectic life—people work long hours and always move. Living there changed how I saw time, work, and friendships. After several years in New York, I moved to Los Angeles to explore its unique lifestyle. Drawn to its creative energy and film industry, I found LA’s slower pace centred on art, community, and tradition—unlike New York's intensity. Being flexible helped me adapt and fit in better, allowing me to appreciate these differences. The contrast deepened my understanding of American culture, especially LA's influence on trends. I also grew fascinated by old traditions tied to nature and their modern connections. My studies made me think about how societies are organized and the roles people play. I looked at how different cultures see leadership and beliefs. This work later became part of an art show and a book called With a Creative Purpose. Through my travels, I learnt that culture deeply affects our thoughts. In Madrid, people were relaxed about time, but in New York, being on time was very important. In LA, people valued new ideas and personal expression, while in Europe, history and customs were more respected. These experiences taught me that no single culture has all the answers. By living in different places, I gained a wider view of the world. Culture is like a pair of glasses—__________. Would you like to explore new cultures too? Understanding differences can help us grow and connect with others. CDBD ( ) 4．What does the underlined word “hectic” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Calm and relaxed. B．Slow and boring. C．Busy and fast.

D．It helps us adapt and fit in better. ( ) 6．According to the author, how does travelling influence our thinking? A．It makes us value money less. B．It shows us different perspectives. C．It makes us prefer staying at home. D．It reduces our interest in other cultures. ( ) 7．What can be put in “__________” in the fifth paragraph? A．it decides what is normal B．it deeply influences our thoughts C．it helps us deal with new things D．it changes how we see things （C） Do you know that China is a very special and wonderful country? It is famous for its long history, rich culture and beautiful scenery. But today, I want to tell you about another great thing about China. China is a nation of etiquette (礼仪). Chinese people are among the most hospitable people in the world. If foreigners visit a Chinese family, they will be surprised at the warmth that they will receive as guests. Let me tell you more about what it's like to be a guest in a Chinese family. When you visit a Chinese family, the host usually makes tea for you. Then he will serve you snacks like biscuits or candies. Also, someone in the family will chat with you, never letting you feel lonely. At the same time, other family members will prepare a meal for you. Chinese people treat their guests to a big meal. They always present enough food. And the guests must be the first to eat. Perhaps one of the things that surprise Western guests most is that the Chinese host likes to put food in visitors’ bowls, which won't happen in Western countries. The Chinese family go out of their way to make you feel at home. As you finish eating, the host usually says, “It seems that you didn't eat much. Please have more.” Being warm and hospitable has long been an important part of Chinese culture and tradition.

They mix old Chinese traditions with new American ideas. Two people started the Chinese Theatre Works. They are Kuang-Yu Fong from China and Stephen from America. They use hand-carved puppets, silk costumes, and calligraphy brushes to tell Chinese stories. Some puppets are very old. Some puppets are new. Charlie is a young artist who works here. He says, “Puppetry is very playful. Puppets are like toys that come alive! They make me feel like a child again.” Charlie learned about Chinese puppets on the Internet. He loves the old Chinese traditions. Another worker, Chen, saves old puppet shows on computers. “These stories are too precious to lose,” he says. He makes sure children in the future can see them too. The shows mix Chinese and Western styles. They tell Chinese stories in English. In one show, they use projectors(投影仪) to make shadow puppets look wonderful. Kuang-Yu Fong and Stephen got married some years ago. They love working together. Stephen says Chinese puppetry seemed strange at first, but now he thinks it's so fun and loves it very much. They believe old traditions and new ideas can be friends. The artists' most popular puppet show is about the Monkey King. Children in New York laugh and clap when they see it. Some of them love Chinese culture from it.
