The earliest chopsticks were discovered in Henan, China about 1200 BCE. Over the next 2,000 years, they spread throughout East and Southeast Asia. The three most well-known types are Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Chinese chopsticks are longer with wide, rounded points at the end, mostly made of plastic or bamboo. While Japanese chopsticks are shorter and more pointed. Korean ones are flat rather than round and made of metal rather than wood. It’s said that ancient Royalty (皇室) used silver chopsticks to see if their food was poisoned (有毒的). In Southeast Asia, Vietnamese chopsticks are similar to Chinese ones. Chopsticks are not just eating tools. A proper chopstick grip (握法) can greatly improve dining experience. First, place the top part of two sticks between your thumb and index finger. Hold the upper chopstick gently with your first three fingers while resting the lower one at your ring finger. Meanwhile, put your thumb at the side of your index-finger nail. The upper stick is moved up and down with the movements of the index finger and middle finger. This way, pieces of food can be easily grasped between the tips of the chopsticks. ________ The first rule is to grab and not stab (刺入) food with the tip of your chopsticks. Second, don’t set chopsticks vertically (垂直的) into the rice in your bowl. In some cultures, such positioning of chopsticks is considered as a symbol associated with death. Third, watch where you point your chopsticks. It’s rude to point them directly at others. Following the guidelines above, you not only show respect for the cultural traditions about chopsticks, but also enrich your overall dining experience. 51. We can learn about the ________ of chopsticks in Paragraph 2. ① ② ③ ④ ⑤ features discovery materials types sales A. ①②③ B. ③④⑤ C. ①③④ D. ①②⑤ 52. How many rules about using chopsticks rightly are there in Paragraph 4? A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five 53. Which of the following pictures describes the proper chopstick grip? A. B. C. D. 54.

It was the first time that the symbol (标志) had appeared on the stamps of the White Olympics.”可知，首次带有五环标志的邮票出现在1935年11月。故选A。 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第4段“China first published four stamps in February 1980, when the Chinese sportsmen began to march into the area of the White Olympics.”可知，中国运动员首次参加冬奥会是在1980年。故选D。 【60题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“People can enjoy the beauty of the wonderful movements of some athletes.”可知，邮票上的运动项目能让人们欣赏运动员的动作之美。 故选C。 C Chalk is something you probably see and even use every day. But have you ever thought about the possibility of turning it into carved (雕刻) artwork using just a compass (圆规)? Shen Sihao, 31, started doing this in high school. Growing up in Luoyang, a city in Henan province known for its cultural relics (遗迹) and historical sites, Shen often used his compass to carve chalk into miniature versions of cultural relics and ancient buildings he read about in history books or saw around Luoyang. One of his most impressive creations was a replica (仿造品) of a tower in Luoyang that looks like it has five floors from the outside but actually has nine floors inside. “It’s a shame that I didn’t have much time back then to do more,” Shen said. After getting a job at an internet company in Beijing, Shen found himself with more free time and so decided to realize his childhood dream. Since 2024, he has been sharing videos online to present his chalk carvings, including tomb figures (俑), arrows, and more. His account (网络账号), Trifle in Break Time, has gained a large following, especially among students. For Shen, the process of carving is just as wonderful as the final product. “Only by carving can I fully understand the structure, details and secrets of cultural relics,” Shen said. For example, while carving an ancient warrior (战士), he closely studied a photo and realized that it looked a lot like Ultraman. “Maybe the design of Ultraman was inspired by an ancient Chinese warrior!” he said. To make his carvings exact and lifelike, Shen visits museums, studies detailed drawings of relics and practices ancient Chinese calligraphy. Besides, Shen shapes his cultural relic carvings by adding elements (元素) from video games and movies, attracting his followers with these exciting changes. For example, he carved the golden cudgel (金箍棒) when the video game BlackMyth: Wukong became popular and made Shiji Niangniang, a character from Ne Zha 2, when the movie became a hit. “I often carelessly break my work when it’s almost done,” Shen said. To Shen, carving chalk not only helps him learn more about history and culture but has also taught him patience. It’s the same with life—when you rush or try too hard, it’s easy to break things. Patience and perseverance (毅力) are the key. 61. What is the meaning of miniature versions in the second paragraph? A. 放大版 B. 微缩版 C. 简化版 D. 增强版 62. Which of the following best shows the structure (结构) of the passage? (①= Paragraph 1 …) A. B. C. D. 63. Why did Shen put elements from video games and movies into his chalk carvings? A.

What is the best title for the passage? A. How chalk carving develops B. The difficulties of chalk carving C. A young man’s creative journey D. How social media makes artists famous 【答案】61. B 62. D 63. A 64. B 65. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述31岁的沈思豪用圆规将粉笔雕刻成文物微缩版，并通过网络分享作品，在过程中学习历史、培养耐心的创意旅程。 【61题详解】 第二段提到“carve chalk into miniature versions of cultural relics”，结合常识，用粉笔雕刻文物应是“微缩版”。 【62题详解】 结合全文，文章结构为：①引出粉笔雕刻话题→②沈高中时的雕刻启蒙→③工作后重拾爱好并线上分享→④雕刻过程的收获→⑤结合流行元素吸引关注及遇到的困难→⑥人生启示。即①引出→②③④⑤介绍人物经历与创作理念→⑥道理升华，所以为“总—分—总”。 【63题详解】 第五段提到“adding elements from video games and movies, attracting his followers with these exciting changes”，沈加入游戏和电影元素是为了吸引关注。 【64题详解】 最后一段提到“Patience and perseverance are the key”，核心是“要有耐心、永不放弃”。 【65题详解】 本文围绕沈思豪从高中到工作后，用粉笔雕刻文物的创意历程展开，“A young man’s creative journey”最贴合主旨。 D After learning about the life of the master poet who lived about 1,300 years ago in the historical documentary Li Bai, many young Chinese viewers have preferred talking about pursuing (追求) their dreams on social media. In the documentary Du Fu—China’s Greatest Poet, a historian said, “Du’s poems are as important in Chinese literary history as Shakespeare is to people in Britain.” This remark can also be used for Li’s poems. Living in the Tang dynasty during the “Golden Age of Chinese Poetry”, Li used his talent to push poetry to a new height. “If Du Fu is the greatest poet in China, then Li Bai is the most talented poet in the history of Chinese poetry,” an expert in ancient Chinese literature emphasized. Much of Li’s life is reflected in his poems; his romance, heroism, and freedom while travelling around the mountains and rivers of China, and his hard life experiences. He saw the Tang dynasty’s amazing prosperity (繁荣), and dreamed about being an excellent officer to serve the court (朝廷), but experienced challenge after challenge until his death. Li Bai has won great reputation (声誉) among Chinese netizens (网民). The story of the poet’s life has aroused many young Chinese people’s interest. __▲__ For example, “What would we do if our dreams couldn’t be reached, just like Li?” Some netizens wrote that unlike Li, they might change to another dream in order not to give themselves too much pressure or unhappiness, while other netizens said they would choose to “hold on straight to the end”. “In fact, many people who like Li Bai’s poems like the spirit he expressed—the spirit of never giving up and dreaming about doing something good to help society, just like many young people who have the same dream in this era,” an expert in ancient Chinese literature said. 66. Which is one of the common themes of Li Bai’s poems? A. Technology. B. Bravery. C. Political power. D. Wealth. 67. Why is Shakespeare talked about in Paragraph 2? A. To explain the meaning of Shakespeare’s poems in Britain. B. To praise the popularity of Shakespeare’s poems in the world. C. To describe the influence of Li Bai’s poems on English people. D. To show the importance of Li Bai’s poems in Chinese literary history. 68. Which of the following sentences can be put into __▲__ in Paragraph 5? A. Young netizens ask questions. B. Many young people try to realize their dreams. C. Many young people are interested in Chinese history. D. Ancient Chinese poets encourage young people to challenge life. 69. What does the underlined phrase “hold on straight to the end” mean? A. Do something good to help society. B. Stick to their dreams and never give up. C. Experience challenges one after another. D. Change to another dream when facing difficulties. 70. According to the last paragraph, what are the reasons why many people like Li Bai’s poems? a. Because of his ability of writing poems. b. Because of his wishes for working for society. c. Because of his doing well in serving the court. d. Because of his spirit of keeping trying to do something. A. ab B. ac C. bd D. cd 【答案】66. B 67. D 68. A 69. B 70. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了中国古代诗人李白，他的诗歌以及现代年轻人对他的看法。 【66题详解】 第四段明确指出“Much of Li’s life is reflected in his poems; his romance, heroism, and freedom while travelling around the mountains and rivers of China, and his hard life experiences.”，李白的诗中反映了他游历祖国山河时的浪漫、英雄主义和自由，以及他艰难的生活经历。可推断勇敢是他诗歌常见的主题。 【67题详解】 第二段明确指出“In the documentary Du Fu—China’s Greatest Poet, a historian said, ‘Du’s poems are as important in Chinese literary history as Shakespeare is to people in Britain.’ This remark can also be used for Li’s poems.”，此处提到莎士比亚是为了说明李白的诗歌在中国文学史上的重要性，就像莎士比亚对英国人一样重要。 【68题详解】 第五段明确指出“For example, ‘What would we do if our dreams couldn’t be reached, just like Li?’”，可推断此处指网友们提出了很多问题。 【69题详解】 第五段明确指出“Some netizens wrote that unlike Li, they might change to another dream in order not to give themselves too much pressure or unhappiness, while other netizens said they would choose to ‘hold on straight to the end’.”，有些人为了不给自己太大的压力或不快乐，他们可能会换一个梦想，而其他网民则表示他们会选择坚持到底，因此猜测该短语意为“坚持到底，永不放弃”。 【70题详解】 第六段明确指出“In fact, many people who like Li Bai’s poems like the spirit he expressed—the spirit of never giving up and dreaming about doing something good to help society, just like many young people who have the same dream in this era”，即人们喜欢李白的诗歌是因为他希望为社会做事以及他坚持不懈的精神，b和d符合。 五. 词汇（每小题1分，共15分） 71. The final game is coming. Have you decided which team ________ (support)? 【答案】to support 【解析】 【详解】句意：最后一场比赛就要来了。你决定支持哪个队了吗？根据句子结构可知，动词“decide”后常接“疑问词（如 which, what, how 等）+ 不定式（to do）”结构作宾语，表示“决定做某事”。故填to support。 72. I believe you ________ (achieve) your dream if you keep on working hard. 【答案】will achieve 【解析】 【详解】句意：我相信如果你继续努力，你会实现你的梦想。if引导的条件状语从句，遵循主将从现，主句用一般将来时will do。故填will achieve。 73. I was ________ (sure) of my writing skills at first. Luckily, I met a wonderful teacher. 【答案】unsure 【解析】 【详解】句意：一开始我对自己的写作技巧没有把握。幸运的是，我遇到了一位很棒的老师。根据“Luckily, I met a wonderful teacher.”与提示词可知，此处应指对写作技巧没有把握，“was”后应用形容词作表语，因此用unsure“没有把握的”。故填unsure。 74. The free trade _________ (agree) were finally reached during a meeting at the UN. 【答案】agreements 【解析】 【详解】句意：在联合国的一次会议上终于达成了自由贸易协议。 考查名词复数形式，agree同意，赞同，与……一致，动词。观察句子结构，谓语部分是reach的被动语态were reached，此处句子是主语不完整，那么此处应该用agree的名词形式agreement，又根据句子后面是“were”，可知这里的协议应该是用复数形式，故答案为agreements。 75. The students were ________ (complete) out of control after their teacher left the classroom. 【答案】completely 【解析】 【详解】句意：老师离开教室后，学生们完全失去了控制。complete“完全的”，形容词；分析句子可知，本句不缺成分，所以用complete的副词completely“完全地”修饰介词短语out of control。故填completely。 76. In the latest earthquake, over 10 people lost their lives and about 20 went ________ (miss). 【答案】missing 【解析】 【详解】句意：在最近的地震中，10多人丧生，约20人失踪。根据“over 10 people lost their lives and about 20 went…”可知，go missing“失踪”，动词短语，此处应填missing。故填missing。 77. Details decide ________ (succeed) or not. If we take everything seriously, we will achieve our goals. 【答案】success 【解析】 【详解】句意：细节决定成功与否。如果我们认真对待每一件事，我们就会实现我们的目标。decide为及物动词，后接不可数名词success作宾语。故填success。 78. Mr Brown sat there, an expression of ________ (sad) on his face. 【答案】sadness 【解析】 【详解】句意：Brown先生坐在那，他的脸上露出悲伤的表情。根据“an expression of...”可知，空格处要填名词，所以空格处要填sad的名词形式sadness。故填sadness。 79. The young couple always ask their son never to get ________ (closely) to water. 【答案】close 【解析】 【详解】句意：这对年轻夫妇总是告诫他们的儿子永远不要靠近水。closely是副词，意为“紧密地；密切地”，此处需用形容词形式，构成固定搭配“get close to”，意为“靠近、接近”，在句中作表语。 80. —Why were your parents so mad yesterday? —Jerry lied again about his grades ________(avoid) punishment. 【答案】to avoid 【解析】 【详解】句意：——为什么你的父母昨天那么生气。——杰瑞为了避免惩罚又说谎了。根据“Jerry lied again about his grades ... punishment.”可知，应该是“为了避免”惩罚又说谎了，此处需要加动词不定式表目的。故填to avoid。 81. —We didn’t see you at the party last night, Mike. We ________ (expect) you. —Oh, sorry. I forgot all about it. 【答案】were expecting 【解析】 【详解】句意：——迈克，我们昨晚在聚会上没看到你。我们一直在期待你来。——哦，对不起。我全忘了。根据“We didn’t see you at the party last night, Mike. We...you.”可知，此处表达了昨晚聚会期间他们一直在期待迈克的到来，应用过去进行时，主语是We，be动词用were。故填were expecting。 82. Taiwan is part of China. As for this, our geography teacher Mr. Xu ________ (say) it clearly hundreds of times. 【答案】has said 【解析】 【详解】句意：台湾是中国的一部分。关于这一点，我们的地理老师徐先生已经清楚地说了数百次。根据时间状语“hundreds of times”可知，句子时态为现在完成时，主语是第三人称单数，助动词用has，say的过去分词是said，所以答案是has said。 83. The new kind of mobile phone you are crazy about ________ (sell) well the other day. 【答案】sold 【解析】 【详解】句意：你特别喜欢的那款新手机前几天很畅销。根据“the other day”，句子用一般过去时，sell表示“畅销、好卖”时，用主动表示被动，不用被动语态，sell的过去式为sold。 84. Sorry, I couldn’t hear you on the phone just now because the heavy rain ________ (beat) against the windows. 【答案】was beating 【解析】 【详解】句意：抱歉，刚才我在电话里听不清你说话，因为大雨正敲打着窗户。括号内给出的单词为beat，是动词，意为“敲打”；句中时间状语just now表明动作发生在过去，且强调当时雨正在敲打的持续状态，因此需要使用过去进行时was beating，主语the heavy rain为不可数名词，be动词用was，符合句子语法结构与语境要求。 85. —Didn’t you see the sign “No photos!” on the left? —Sorry, I didn’t. But I know taking photos ________ ( not allow) here now. 【答案】is not allowed##isn’t allowed 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你没看到左边的“禁止拍照”标志吗？ ——对不起，我没有。但我知道现在这里不允许拍照。该句是I know引导的宾语从句，空格处作从句的谓语。主语taking photos是动作allow的承受者，因此需用被动语态；结合括号内的提示词“not allow”可知，此处需使用被动语态的否定形式，结构为“be动词+not+动词过去分词”。时间状语now表明时态为一般现在时；同时，动名词短语作主语时，谓语动词需用第三人称单数形式，因此be动词用is；allow的过去分词为allowed。 六. 任务型阅读（每小题1分，共10分） Have you heard of TED? TED represents Technology, Entertainment and Design. TED is a set of meetings, held in different cities around the world every year.

TED meetings invite speakers to give speeches on different kinds of topics. The speakers usually have success in their fields and talk about new ideas and recent development that are important to their work. The speakers are also well-known.

Nowadays, www.ted.org, the organization’s website, is where the many interesting talks become reachable to everybody who has an Internet connection. Every weekday, a new video is uploaded from a TED event, allowing people from around the world to listen to the talks for free.

Besides, most of the English-language talks have the choice of subtitles (字幕) in different languages as well and, as a result, the website is great for practising English and learning new vocabulary, especially in a topic that you find interesting and enjoyable.

They often talk about new ideas and recent development that are of ______ to their work.”，可知此处是关于演讲者（Speakers）的内容。 【88题详解】 根据原文第二段“The speakers usually have success in their fields”，此处需要形容词形式作表语，“have success in”的同义表达为“be successful in”，因此填successful。 【89题详解】 根据原文第二段“talk about new ideas and recent development that are important to their work”，“be important to”的同义表达为“be of importance to”，因此填importance。 【90题详解】 根据原文第二段“TED meetings invite speakers to give speeches on different kinds of topics”，“give speeches on different kinds of topics”可同义转换为“include many kinds of topics”，include 意为“包括、涉及”，符合文意。 【91题详解】 根据原文第二段“all speakers have a strict time limit—each speech must last less than 18 minutes”，此处修饰动词“limited”，需用副词形式，因此填strictly。 【92题详解】 根据原文第四段“Besides, most of the English-language talks have the choice of subtitles in different languages as well”，“as well”与“also”同义，此处表示“也”，因此填also。 【93题详解】 根据原文第三段“allowing people from around the world to listen to the talks for free”，“for free”意为“免费地”，即“without paying money”，因此填without。 【94题详解】 根据原文第四段“the website is great for practising English and learning new vocabulary”，情态动词“can”后接动词原形，因此填practise。 【95题详解】 表格最后一段是对前文内容的总结，“There are many subjects for people to choose from, so TED videos are much more exciting.”是总结性语句，因此填Conclusion。 七. 综合填空（每小题1分，共10分） ____96____ May 16th, 2025, the National Cultural Heritage Administration (国家文物局) got back two important ancient books, the Zidanku Silk Manuscripts (《子弹库帛书》) volumes II and III from the US.

Over the next 2,000 years, they spread throughout East and Southeast Asia. The three most well-known types are Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Chinese chopsticks are longer with wide, rounded points at the end, mostly made of plastic or bamboo. While Japanese chopsticks are shorter and more pointed. Korean ones are flat rather than round and made of metal rather than wood. It’s said that ancient Royalty (皇室) used silver chopsticks to see if their food was poisoned (有毒的). In Southeast Asia, Vietnamese chopsticks are similar to Chinese ones. Chopsticks are not just eating tools. A proper chopstick grip (握法) can greatly improve dining experience. First, place the top part of two sticks between your thumb and index finger. Hold the upper chopstick gently with your first three fingers while resting the lower one at your ring finger. Meanwhile, put your thumb at the side of your index-finger nail. The upper stick is moved up and down with the movements of the index finger and middle finger. This way, pieces of food can be easily grasped between the tips of the chopsticks. ________ The first rule is to grab and not stab (刺入) food with the tip of your chopsticks. Second, don’t set chopsticks vertically (垂直的) into the rice in your bowl. In some cultures, such positioning of chopsticks is considered as a symbol associated with death. Third, watch where you point your chopsticks. It’s rude to point them directly at others. Following the guidelines above, you not only show respect for the cultural traditions about chopsticks, but also enrich your overall dining experience. 51. We can learn about the ________ of chopsticks in Paragraph 2. ① ② ③ ④ ⑤ features discovery materials types sales A. ①②③ B. ③④⑤ C. ①③④ D. ①②⑤ 52. How many rules about using chopsticks rightly are there in Paragraph 4? A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five 53. Which of the following pictures describes the proper chopstick grip? A. B. C. D. 54. Which sentence can be put in the ________ in Paragraph 4? A. It’s not easy for you to get the use of chopsticks. B. Understanding chopstick manners is also necessary. C. Remember to choose suitable chopsticks for meals. D. Chopsticks play an important role at Chinese table. 55. What is the best title of the passage? A. The spread of Chinese culture B. Chopsticks, Treasure of Asian culture C. Chopsticks,ancient eating tools D. The table manners in Asia. B The Winter Olympics are also called the White Olympics. At this time, many colourful stamps are published to mark the great Games. The first stamps marking the opening came out on January 25, 1932 in the United States for the 3rd White Olympics. From then on, publishing stamps during the White Olympics became a rule. During the 4th Winter Olympic Games a group of stamps were published in Germany in November 1935. The five rings of Olympics were printed on the front of the sportswear. It was the first time that the symbol (标志) had appeared on the stamps of the White Olympics. In the 1950s, the stamps of this kind became more colourful. When the White Olympics came, the host countries as well as the non-host countries published stamps to mark those Games. China first published four stamps in February 1980, when the Chinese sportsmen began to march into the area of the White Olympics. Japan once held the White Olympics. Altogether 14,500 million stamps were sold to raise money for this sports meeting. Different kinds of sports are printed on these small stamps. People can enjoy the beauty of the wonderful movements of some athletes. 56. The best title for the passage is “________”. A. Stamps for the Winter Olympics B. The Winter Olympics C. Great events for the Winter Olympics D. Printing stamps 57. When did the world make it a rule to publish stamps to mark the great Games? A. After the 2nd White Olympics. B. After the 3rd White Olympics. C. After the 4th White Olympics. D. From the year 1950. 58. When did the first stamps of the White Olympics with five rings appear? A. In November 1935. B. In February 1980. C. In the 1950s. D. After the 1950s. 59. When did Chinese athletes take part in the White Olympics? A. In 1932. B. In 1935. C. In 1950. D. In 1980. 60. When all kinds of sports are printed on stamps, people________. A. will be happy to buy them B. will buy them cheaper C. can enjoy some athletes’ movements D. can get in touch with athletes easily C Chalk is something you probably see and even use every day. But have you ever thought about the possibility of turning it into carved (雕刻) artwork using just a compass (圆规)? Shen Sihao, 31, started doing this in high school. Growing up in Luoyang, a city in Henan province known for its cultural relics (遗迹) and historical sites, Shen often used his compass to carve chalk into miniature versions of cultural relics and ancient buildings he read about in history books or saw around Luoyang. One of his most impressive creations was a replica (仿造品) of a tower in Luoyang that looks like it has five floors from the outside but actually has nine floors inside. “It’s a shame that I didn’t have much time back then to do more,” Shen said. After getting a job at an internet company in Beijing, Shen found himself with more free time and so decided to realize his childhood dream. Since 2024, he has been sharing videos online to present his chalk carvings, including tomb figures (俑), arrows, and more. His account (网络账号), Trifle in Break Time, has gained a large following, especially among students. For Shen, the process of carving is just as wonderful as the final product. “Only by carving can I fully understand the structure, details and secrets of cultural relics,” Shen said. For example, while carving an ancient warrior (战士), he closely studied a photo and realized that it looked a lot like Ultraman. “Maybe the design of Ultraman was inspired by an ancient Chinese warrior!” he said. To make his carvings exact and lifelike, Shen visits museums, studies detailed drawings of relics and practices ancient Chinese calligraphy. Besides, Shen shapes his cultural relic carvings by adding elements (元素) from video games and movies, attracting his followers with these exciting changes. For example, he carved the golden cudgel (金箍棒) when the video game BlackMyth: Wukong became popular and made Shiji Niangniang, a character from Ne Zha 2, when the movie became a hit. “I often carelessly break my work when it’s almost done,” Shen said. To Shen, carving chalk not only helps him learn more about history and culture but has also taught him patience. It’s the same with life—when you rush or try too hard, it’s easy to break things. Patience and perseverance (毅力) are the key. 61. What is the meaning of miniature versions in the second paragraph? A. 放大版 B. 微缩版 C. 简化版 D. 增强版 62. Which of the following best shows the structure (结构) of the passage? (①= Paragraph 1 …) A. B. C. D. 63. Why did Shen put elements from video games and movies into his chalk carvings? A. To catch people’s attention easily. B. To follow the latest cultural fashion. C. To praise traditional Chinese stories. D. To test and improve his carving skills. 64. How do you understand the last paragraph? A. Success lies in details. B. To be patient and never give up. C. Try to be more confident. D. Actions speak louder than words. 65. What is the best title for the passage? A. How chalk carving develops B. The difficulties of chalk carving C. A young man’s creative journey D. How social media makes artists famous D After learning about the life of the master poet who lived about 1,300 years ago in the historical documentary Li Bai, many young Chinese viewers have preferred talking about pursuing (追求) their dreams on social media. In the documentary Du Fu—China’s Greatest Poet, a historian said, “Du’s poems are as important in Chinese literary history as Shakespeare is to people in Britain.” This remark can also be used for Li’s poems. Living in the Tang dynasty during the “Golden Age of Chinese Poetry”, Li used his talent to push poetry to a new height. “If Du Fu is the greatest poet in China, then Li Bai is the most talented poet in the history of Chinese poetry,” an expert in ancient Chinese literature emphasized. Much of Li’s life is reflected in his poems; his romance, heroism, and freedom while travelling around the mountains and rivers of China, and his hard life experiences. He saw the Tang dynasty’s amazing prosperity (繁荣), and dreamed about being an excellent officer to serve the court (朝廷), but experienced challenge after challenge until his death. Li Bai has won great reputation (声誉) among Chinese netizens (网民). The story of the poet’s life has aroused many young Chinese people’s interest. __▲__ For example, “What would we do if our dreams couldn’t be reached, just like Li?” Some netizens wrote that unlike Li, they might change to another dream in order not to give themselves too much pressure or unhappiness, while other netizens said they would choose to “hold on straight to the end”. “In fact, many people who like Li Bai’s poems like the spirit he expressed—the spirit of never giving up and dreaming about doing something good to help society, just like many young people who have the same dream in this era,” an expert in ancient Chinese literature said. 66. Which is one of the common themes of Li Bai’s poems? A. Technology. B. Bravery. C. Political power. D. Wealth. 67. Why is Shakespeare talked about in Paragraph 2? A. To explain the meaning of Shakespeare’s poems in Britain. B. To praise the popularity of Shakespeare’s poems in the world. C. To describe the influence of Li Bai’s poems on English people. D. To show the importance of Li Bai’s poems in Chinese literary history. 68. Which of the following sentences can be put into __▲__ in Paragraph 5? A. Young netizens ask questions. B. Many young people try to realize their dreams. C. Many young people are interested in Chinese history. D. Ancient Chinese poets encourage young people to challenge life. 69. What does the underlined phrase “hold on straight to the end” mean? A. Do something good to help society. B. Stick to their dreams and never give up. C. Experience challenges one after another. D. Change to another dream when facing difficulties. 70. According to the last paragraph, what are the reasons why many people like Li Bai’s poems? a. Because of his ability of writing poems. b. Because of his wishes for working for society. c. Because of his doing well in serving the court. d. Because of his spirit of keeping trying to do something. A. ab B. ac C. bd D. cd 五. 词汇（每小题1分，共15分） 71. The final game is coming. Have you decided which team ________ (support)? 72.
