For many years, he has sent packages (包裹) and talked with local people. Through this work, he learned much about local products like dried meat, milk, vegetables, and fruits. In March 2021, he started his first livestreaming (直 播) sales event. He has held about 10 live events, getting nearly 4 million yuan. However,  his most important job is still sending mails. Ruo’ergai is in a mountainous area of western China where Tibetan and Qiang people live. The area has high mountains and difficult roads, so travel is dangerous here. Lhalung Dorje travels over 100 kilometers every week in these hard conditions. So far, he has traveled more than 500,000 kilometers and safely sent over 5 million packages. Lhalung Dorje’s father was also a postman. “My father was my hero. He wore his uniform, carried his bag, and walked through the mountains,” he said. As a child, he loved sitting on his father’s bike, feeling warm even in winter. In 2007, Lhalung Dorje followed his father’s example and became a postman. Over the years, he has faced many challenges, such as snowstorms, heavy rain, and falling rocks. Once, rocks fell on the road during a trip, but he still finished his work. These difficulties never stopped him. After short breaks, he always returned to his job. Lhalung Dorje’s story teaches us about hard work and love for one’s community. He not only sends packages but also helps local people sell their products. His life shows that even common jobs can make a big difference. 1．What helps Lhalung Dorje most in his livestreaming?

A．by giving examples B．by listing numbers C．by telling stories D．by asking a question 3．How does Lhalung Dorje feel about his job? A．Cheerful and different. B．Helpful but hopeless. C．Powerful and simple. D．Common but meaningful. 4．Which is the best title for the article? A．More Than a Postman B．Livestreaming Sales Success C．A Postman’s Daily Work D．Father and Son’s Story B When it comes to Chinese literature works about a mother’s love, few can compete with Tang Dynasty poet Meng Jiao’s poem Song of the Travelling Son. The poem presents a mother who sews clothes for her son by hand. Bathed in candlelight, she also worries about his travel away from home. Meng’s description of the mother shows the composition of the earliest form of the Chinese character “劳”. Found on oracle bones (甲骨) from over 3,000 years ago, it was made up of two characters. There was “火 (fire)” on top and “衣 (clothes)” below, with three dots (点) that look like stitches. The lower part was later replaced by “力 (strength)” and a form symbolizing a house appeared above. The Analytical Dictionary of Chinese Characters explains the form as “When a house is on fire, it takes hard work to put it out.” While the form of the character has been simplified, its meaning has expanded to refer to work, labor (劳动) or toil. It is also associated with feelings like fatigue (疲劳). Since ancient times, Chinese society has looked down upon those who sponge off others. In modern times, the idea that “labor is glorious (光荣的)” has taken root. People who work hard and make great contributions to their community or country are respected as model workers. Since the 1980s, “劳” has become one of the five key qualities that China’s education system seeks to cultivate in students, along with “德 (virtue)” “智 (intelligence)” “体 (physical fitmess)” and “美 (appreciation for beauty)”. Primary and middle school students typically have at least one hour of“labor class” each week for labor theory and skills. However, cognitive (认知的) labor and manual (体力的) labor are not always considered equal. As ancient Chinese philosopher Mencius said, “Those who labor with their minds govern (统治), while those who labor with their strength are governed.” Throughout history, many Chinese writers have had pity on people who worked hard to survive as poor farmers. In his poem Watching the Wheat Harvest, famous poet Bai Juyi expressed his shame at taking hundreds of kilograms of grain every year as his pay without doing any farm work. No matter it is cognitive labor or manual labor, overwork can have serious results, which can cause illness or even death. To avoid such things, people are encouraged to achieve a balance between work and rest. 5．Which of the following is the earliest form of the Chinese character “劳”? A． B． C． D． 6．What does the underlined phrase “sponge off” in Paragraph 3 mean in the passage? A．Laugh at. B．Learn from. C．Look after. D．Depend on. 7．What can you learn from the passage? A．The character “劳” meant fatigue in the very beginning. B．Bai Juyi governed the poor farmers without getting paid. C．Cognitive labor is considered to be equal to manual labor. D．Chinese students are expected to have the five key qualities. 8．The main purpose of this passage is to________. A．discuss the different types of labor in China B．explore the cultural meaning of labor in China C．introduce the history of the Chinese character “劳” D．compare ancient and modern Chinese literature works C Becoming Chinese: When Chinese Daily Habits Win Global Hearts Imagine sipping warm water instead of iced soda, simmering a pot of pear soup on a lazy evening, or practicing baduanjin （八段锦） to start your day-these aren't just Chinese routines anymore. Playful TikTok videos with lines like "Tomorrow, you're turning Chinese!" have sparked a worldwide craze, making #Becoming Chinese a trending hashtag across social media. From New York to London, foreigners are sharing their "Chinese-style days," proving you don't need to change your nationality to fall for Chinese everyday life. What makes these habits so contagious （有感染力的）? For most people, it's their mix of health and ease. Unlike pricey gym memberships or fancy supplements （补品）, Chinese daily practices are cheap and simple to pick up. "Warm water calms my stomach way better than iced drinks ever did," a US lifestyle blogger shared. Another user raves about how 10 minutes of baduanjin daily has fixed her long-term sleep troubles. These tiny shifts ft perfectly with people's hunger for a slower, healthier lifestyle-no wonder the trend took off! Two key forces fuel the craze: policy and technology. China has made visiting a breeze by extending the transit visa-free period from 144 to 240 hours for travelers from 55 countries. International visitors have seized this chance to wander city streets, sample local eats, and share adventures online. Plus, translation tools and social media let these daily moments spread fast-even if you don't speak Chinese, you can easily follow a congee （粥） recipe or baduanjin tutorial and join the fun. This trend isn't just about habits-it's about seeing China beyond kung fu, pandas and ancient palaces, as global friends embrace cozy daily joys like ginger tea, congee and baduanjin moments to beat stress. It's a sign that Chinese culture isn't just for admiration but for living and enjoying, and with easier travel rules and smarter translation tools, more people will discover its charm. The Becoming Chinese craze isn't a one-time thing-it's a sweet start to closer cultural ties worldwide. 9. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 1? A. TikTok videos contribute to the global spread of Chinese routines. B. Foreigners must change nationality to enjoy Chinese daily life. C. #Becoming Chinese is only popular in New York and London. D. Warm water is less popular than iced soda in foreign countries. 10. The underlined word contagious in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.

So he was recommended to visit a sage (圣人). The sage silently scooped up the water and asked, “What is the shape of the water?” The sage poured the water into a glass before the man could answer. The man answered, “I know water is like a glass.” The sage said nothing and poured the water into the vase nearby. The man realized it, “I know water is like a vase.” The sage shook his head, gently carried the vase in both hands and poured the water into a pot filled with sand. The clear water disappeared into the sand. The sage said, “Look, the water died away like this. This is a lifetime!” The man said happily, “I know you want to tell me that the society is like various containers. So people should be like water. When you are in a certain container, you will become its shape and nothing can change!” “Yes and no,” the sage said. The sage went out of the house, followed by the man. Under the eaves (屋檐), the sage bent over, touched the flagstone steps for a while and stopped. The man reached out his hand to where the sage had just touched and felt a concave (凹面), but he didn’t know what secret the concave in the flagstone steps hid. The sage said, “On rainy days, the rainwater would fall from the eaves, so the concave is the result the water falls.” The man got inspired (启发) suddenly. He said, “I understand people may be put into the regular containers, but they should be like the little drop of water, holing the hard flagstones until changing the containers.” The sage said, “Right. This concave will turn into a hole!” Life is like water, so we must adapt (适应) to the environment and we should try to change the environment to realize our own value. 1.How did the sage inspire the man? 2.What can you learn from the passage? 3.What do you think of the sage? Why? 七、作文 20分 祖国山河秀美，你一定去过很多地方， 请以My Unforgettable Trip to________ 为题，写一篇文章，介绍你去的地方，你的经历，如有哪些吸引人的地方等，你的感受。 完成这篇90词左右的英文稿。开头已给出,不计入总词数。 My Unforgettable Trip to_____ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 参考答案 一、单项填空（每题1分，共10分） 1-5CABAC 6-10 AADCC 二、完形填空（每题1分，共10分） 1．A 2．C 3．A 4．B 5．D 6．A 7．B 8．D 9．D 10．C 三、阅读理解（每题2分，共26分） A篇 1．C 2．B 3．D 4．A B篇 5．B 6．D 7．D 8．B C篇 9.A 10.B 11.D 12.C 13.B 四、词汇运用（18分） 1.marry 2. period 3. central 4. soldiers 5. body 6. reaches 7. business 8. feeling 9. imagine 10. bank 11. artworks 12. universities 13. heroes 14. historic 15.twice 16. preferred 17. until 18. off 五、短文填空（每题1分，共10分） 1. thought 2. lovers 3. a 4. along 5. admiring 6. closer 7.

Located in the northern part of China, this world-famous structure stretches over 21,000 kilometers and has a history of more than 2,000 years. I went there during my summer vacation two years ago, and it was an amazing experience. When I first saw the Great Wall, I was speechless. It looked like a giant dragon winding across the mountains. The wall is made of stone and brick, and some parts are very steep. Walking along the wall, I could feel the strong wind and enjoy the beautiful view of the green hills and valleys. It was both exciting and tiring because there were so many steps to climb! I also learned a lot about the history of the Great Wall. It was built to protect China from invaders, and many people worked hard to build it. Standing there, I could imagine how difficult life must have been for the soldiers who guarded the wall hundreds of years ago. Visiting the Great Wall made me feel proud of Chinese history and culture. It is not just a wall, but a symbol of strength and wisdom. I will never forget the day I walked on this wonder of the world. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
