I have to admit that when I first heard that Paul Salopek was going to walk the entire globe on his own two feet, I was blown away. I couldn’t imagine that there could be such an unusual person in the world. Last May, I met Paul. He told me that it was his first time in China. He talked to me with great excitement about the history, migrations, and discoveries in my region of China. He spoke of the Shu Yandu Dao (the Southern Silk Road), the travels of the 17th-century Chinese explorer Xu Xiake, the Tea Horse Road and the early 20th-century American botanist Joseph Rock. He also talked of Xuanzang. Paul considered many of them heroes and in a sense Chinese pioneers of slow journalism (新闻业). I decided to accompany Paul on his walk toward Yunnan. On 28 September 2021, we set out. Our days were simple: walk, eat, sleep, and repeat. We woke up at sunrise, set off in high spirits, and rested at sunset, dragging ourselves into exhausted sleep. We met many people on the road. Some were curious, surrounding us and watching us; some gave us directions; some invited us into their homes to take a rest; some spoke of the charm of their hometown. We met many beautiful souls, simple souls and warm souls. We were walking with our minds. Looking back on the more than 200 miles I walked with Paul, I came to a realisation. Walking for its own sake, while healthy and admirable, is only a small part of the benefit of moving with our feet. A deeper reward is rediscovering the world around us, shortening the distance between each other, and sharing each other’s cultures. 24. What did the writer think of Paul’s travel plan at first? ( ) A. Surprised. B. Frightened. C. Confused. D. Disappointed. 25. What can we learn about Paul from paragraph 2? ( ) A. He was Joseph Rock’s friend. B. He was a western journalist. C. He came to China several times. D. He had a knowledge of China. 26. What does paragraph 4 tell us about the writer and Paul? ( ) A. They set off in high spirits. B. They satisfied the locals’ curiosity. C. They built bonds with people. D. They honored the ancestors. 27. What is the writer’s purpose of writing the text? ( ) A. To share and reflect on a journey. B. To suggest a new way of travel. C. To stress the importance of friendship. D. To introduce Chinese culture. C The Laba Festival, also simply called “Laba”, comes on the eighth day of the twelfth month of the Chinese lunar year. The festival has this name because the twelfth month is also called “la” month in Chinese while the number eight is pronounced “ba”. Since it’s in the last month of the lunar year, the festival implies saying goodbye to the old and embracing the new, and is often regarded as a warm-up celebration for the upcoming Spring Festival. As an old saying goes, “After Laba, it’s the (Chinese) New Year.” Laba Day is also Bodhi Day in the Buddhist tradition. It’s said that Shakyamuni Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, attained enlightenment (觉悟) on this day. Thus, the day is one of the grandest festivals for Buddhists. One of the festival’s traditions is to offer sacrifices (贡品) to the ancestors and gods. In the agrarian societies of ancient times, this worship was a prayer for good luck and a bountiful harvest. The most important custom during the Laba Festival is eating Laba congee. This dish is cooked with a mix of eight ingredients, as eight is a lucky number in Chinese culture. The tradition to have Laba congee on this day dates back more than a thousand years and is still a major part of Laba Day in many places. The selection of ingredients for the congee may vary geographically. Legend has it that, before being enlightened, the Buddha worked hard for many years and was very feeble. Thanks to the milk porridge offered by some shepherdesses, he recovered physical strength and later achieved enlightenment. Therefore, nowadays, temples adhere to the tradition of offering congee to the public on this day to show appreciation for the kind-hearted and to help the poor. Temples as well as restaurants cook and hand out Laba congee on the day of the festival to sanitation workers and senior people who live alone. Every year, people line up in temples since the early morning for the bowl of goodness. 28. What happened to Shakyamuni Buddha on Laba Day? ( ) A. He was born. B. He passed away. C. He created Buddhism. D. He reached a higher spiritual level. 29. What can we learn about the Laba Festival? ( ) A. It falls on 18 January every year. B. It was created by Shakyamuni Buddha. C. The most important custom is offering sacrifices. D. People make Laba congee differently from place to place. 30. What does the underlined word “feeble” in paragraph 6 mean? ( ) A. Weak. B. Upset. C. Anxious. D. Delighted. 31. What is behind Laba congee according to the last paragraph? ( ) A. The spirit of giving. B. The spirit of receiving. C. The spirit of having fun. D. The spirit of working hard. D Ireland has had a very difficult history. The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer Ireland. For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two “Irelands”. Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the United Kingdom. The Republic of Ireland, in the south, is an independent country. In the 1840s the main crop, potatoes, was affected by disease and about 750, 000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage of work, forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems, the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851. For many years, the majority (多数) of Irish people earned their living as farmers. Today, many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace. The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly. Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”. Since independence, Ireland has revived its own culture of music, language, literature and singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc. 32. What does the author tell us in paragraph 1? A. How Ireland gained independence? B. How two “Irelands” came into being? C. How the Irish fought against the English? D. How English rulers tried to conquer Ireland? 33. We can learn from the text that in Ireland ______. A. food shortages in the 1840s led to a drop in population B. different kinds of old Irish songs are all sung with instruments C. it is harder to make a living as a farmer than as a factory worker D. people are moving to the cities for lack of work in the countryside 34. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The Irish culture. B. A famous Irish writer. C. The Irish character. D. The Irish musical instruments 35. What can be the best title for the text? A. Life in Ireland B. A Very Difficult History C. Ireland, Past and Present D. The Independence of Ireland 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 How to Improve Your Running Running is a great form of exercise that offers physical and mental benefits.

According to Merriam-Webster, “autumn” appeared first in English in the 1300s, coming from the Latin word “autumnus”. “Autumn” caught on quickly, likely because it replaced the   (56)   (origin) name — “harvest”. As you might imagine, when crops were collected from the fields, calling the season “harvest” might make people (57) (confuse) because "harvest" is also the name for the act (58) (it). So “autumn” appeared instead of “harvest”. Then the term, “autumn”, (59) was referred to the season between summer and winter, lasted for a couple of (60) (century). “Fall” as a name for the season came about sometime in the 1500s, a shortened version of the very poetic phrase for “the fall of leaves”. The English phrase had true meaning of the season without leading (61) any confusion. Not even a century later, the phrase became a simple word: fall. Around this same time, the English language was traveling across the globe as Britain expanded, and it was   (62) (go) through some changes, as many languages did. This was (63) (particular) true in the American colonies (殖民地). Some English words changed in the US, whether in terms of spelling (64) in terms of general usage. In the mid-1800s, British and American English speakers further developed in different ways and “fall” was the common word for “autumn” in the US, while autumn (65) (regard) as the word for fall in England. 六、书面表达：本大题共1小题，共15分。 66．你校将举办一场题为“推广中国传统节日”的英语演讲比赛，你报名参加了此次比赛。请你写一篇演讲稿。 内容包括： （1）中国传统节日的重要性； （2）如何推广中国传统节日。 注意：写作词数应为80个左右。 Promoting Traditional Chinese Festivals Good morning, everyone! ___________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 六、任务型读写：本大题共1小题，共25分。 67．阅读下面的材料，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。 [1] Every June, we renew an annual tradition at our house in a lovely neighbourhood. Our children are given bowls and asked to collect pieces of nature that remind them of the summer. They leave those bowls on the front doorstep and we go for a walk. When we return, we find fairies (仙子) have transformed the bowls’ contents into ice cream sundaes (圣代冰激凌). [2] I’m not certain how this tradition evolved. I think I was making up something about fairies years ago, and it all just sort of happened. But ever since, it has been one of our favourite routine activities. We were fascinated with its magic. [3] “When are the fairies coming?” six-year-old Anna had been asking all last June, eager with expectation. Meanwhile, John, nine, was getting wise to fairies and such silly things. So he was pretty sure about how all the “magic” came about as the evening approached. “You know, I had everything worked out!” He said he would understand if, during our walk, Mum or Dad should forget something and return home or during the walk a parent might have to fetch something in the car. Many times, we were even thinking of telling him the truth but we didn’t. Anna should enjoy the magic. [4] The evening arrived as expected. The children collected leaves and blades of grass, pebbles, twigs (树枝) and dead insects. We put their bowls on the front doorstep and went off on our walk as usual. But after a while, I pretended to complain that I had forgotten my keys and needed to go back. [5] John smiled with a knowing expression. “Oh wait,” I added. “I’ve found them! I don’t have to go back.” As we continued on our way, John was beginning to get a bit confused. [6] Near our house, after exchanging a glance with my husband, I anxiously warned that the fairies might not have arrived yet — we might need to walk for a bit longer. Hearing what I said, John seemed relieved. “Yes,” he said, “they probably hadn’t come!” Yet when we reached the front door, the bowls were in the same place we had left them — filled exactly with ice cream sundaes. 注意：续写词数应为150个左右。 Seeing this, the two kids gave quite different responses. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ It was late but the confusion kept John wide awake, and finally he came to me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
