In the video, I’ll talk about its origin. Then I’ll explore essential and interesting customs like family reunion dinners and pasting spring couplets. Additionally, I’ll briefly interpret the cultural meaning they carry. I will insert clips (片段）from the video of my family celebrating the Spring Festival so that your schoolmates can directly feel the warm atmosphere of the Spring Festival in a Chinese family. Through the video, you can gain deep insight into traditional Chinese culture. What do you think of the video content I’ve planned? If you have any question, email me. Yours, Li Hua My parents said I could ask them tomorrow. The next day, heart pounding in my chest, I knocked on Bill and Arlene’s door, sat down in their living room and stammered out my question tentatively, “Will you guys care to be my grandparents?” At these words, they were petrified with surprise and the room fell into an awkward silence. “Maybe they are not so fond of me as I thought.” I murmured to myself, doubts crowding in on me. I was about to sneak out when my friends reached out their arms and embraced me tightly. “Of course!” they responded enthusiastically, tears of joy brimming in their eyes. From the day I adopted them, I called Bill and Arlene Grandpa and Grandma. They even went to great lengths to print out an adoption certificate, and it hung on their living room wall proudly. Over the years, my dear grandparents supported me in all my gloomy days, encouraged me to pursue dreams regardless of numerous obstacles, and imparted their invaluable wisdom to me selflessly. I could find no words to express how grateful and fortunate I felt for their presence in my life. However, it was when they told me in their last days that how much joy and comfort I had brought into their otherwise tedious life that I truly became the luckiest grandson in the world. 答案详解 A篇阅读【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍高中生在选择大学专业前，需考虑学术优势、职业前景、继续教育及专业灵活性等实际因素，并对计算机科学、工程、商业、美术等热门专业进行了简要介绍。 【21题详解】细节理解题。根据“Academic Strengths: Focus on subjects you were good at in school. A major based on your natural abilities often leads to success.(学术优势：专注于你在学校擅长的科目。基于你自身能力的专业选择往往会带来成功)”可知，学生选择专业时应考虑自己的学术表现，故选C。 【22题详解】细节理解题。由“Business: It emphasizes leadership, teamwork and planning, preparing graduates for management roles in finance or marketing.(商业专业：它强调领导力、团队合作和规划，为毕业生在金融或市场营销领域的管理角色做好准备)”可知，商业专业注重培养团队合作等人际交往能力；“Fine Arts: Graduates develop highly valuable skills in creativity, problem-solving and communication.(美术专业：毕业生在创造力、解决问题和沟通方面培养出非常有价值的技能)”表明美术专业有助于提升沟通等人际交往能力。所以对提升人际交往能力有益的专业是商业和美术专业，故选A项。 【23题详解】推理判断题。文章开头指出“Deciding on a college major is a significant step after high school.(决定大学专业是高中毕业后的重要一步)”，随后围绕高中生如何选择大学专业展开，介绍选择专业的考虑因素以及热门专业等内容，所以最有可能出自大学报考指南，故选D项。 B篇阅读【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了66岁的Atsuko Oyama在视频游戏竞赛领域所做的努力，以及老年人参与电竞所具备的优势。 24．推理判断题。根据第二段“But after joining Japan’s first senior esports team in September, Ms. Oyama achieved 10 kills in a month and feels her enthusiasm growing.(但在去年9月加入日本第一支高级电子竞技团队后，大山在一个月内杀了10人，她感到自己的热情越来越高)”和“But I didn’t like to be left behind, so I decided to come here at least twice, and now I am into it.(但我不喜欢落在后面，所以我决定至少来这里两次，现在我喜欢上了)”可知，66岁的大山加入竞技团队后，勤于练习，不久就在游戏中一个月内杀了10人，同时她感觉自己对电子竞技的热情越来越高。因此可以推断Atsuko Oyama勤奋且充满热情。故选B。 25．推理判断题。根据第三段“Esports promoters who have seen Japan fall behind powerhouses in videogame competitions think the senior market might be the way to catch up.(看到日本在视频游戏竞赛落后于强国的电子竞技推广者认为老年人市场可能是迎头赶上的途径)”可知，老年人玩电子游戏，发展老年电竞市场可以弥补日本在电子竞技上的失利，这也是日本老年人玩电子游戏的原因。故选C。 26．细节理解题。根据最后一段“While younger players tend to be more violent, older players can communicate better and lean on teamwork.(年轻玩家往往更暴力，而年老玩家可以更好地沟通和依靠团队合作)”可知，年老的玩家在沟通和团队合作上更有优势。故选A。 27．推理判断题。根据第四段“It is, however, at the forefront of initiatives to keep old people thinking younger.(然而，它走在让老年人保持年轻思维的前沿)”可知，电子竞技可以使老年人的思维更活跃，保持年轻的心态。对社会来说这是一大优势。以此判断作者的态度是支持。故选A。 C篇阅读【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了日渐受欢迎的全户外教学模式。 28. B。推理判断题。根据第一段中的“this muddy field is their school”以及“Rain or shine, we' re out here”可知，本段主要描写了俄勒冈州波特兰市一所森林学校中学生的日常活动——在森林里探索。 29. A。推理判断题。根据第三段中的“they didn’t learn sitting at desks, facing forward, looking at a teacher. They learned from a multi- sensory environment”和第四段中的“The idea is that the challenges that come with being outside all day— dealing with weather, building your own shelter, unearthing the unexpected— are all part of the learning process.”可知，孩子们并没有通过坐在桌前、面朝前、看着老师学习，而是在多感官环境中学习。在户外所面临的挑战——应对天气、建造自己的住所、发掘意想不到的东西——都是学习过程的一部分。由此可推知，森林学校背后的理念就是儿童在实践中学习。 30. C。细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Brooke Teller … believes schools in major cities could have green classrooms hiding underneath their pavement（路面）. She said, ‘We have a few hundred landscape architects ... best for outdoor learning””可知，特勒认为大城市的学校可以创建绿色教室。她说：“全国各地有几百名景观建筑师愿意与学校合作，帮助学校找到户外学习的最佳场地。”即她建议学校寻求景观建筑师的帮助，与他们合作。 31. B。主旨大意题。本文以某森林学校的日常活动展开，介绍了户外教学的理念、面临的困难及可能的解决办法。B项呼应了文中 Trackers Earth 森林学校创始人之一托尼·戴斯所说的“Forest school is where the classroom does not have walls”。 D 篇阅读【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了麻省理工学院工程师设计出创新超声波系统从大气水收集器中快速回收水以应对全球缺水问题。 【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“Traditional methods rely heavily on solar heat to release the water absorbed by a special material. Any material good at capturing water doesn’t want to part with that water(传统方法严重依赖太阳能热量来释放被特殊材料吸收的水。任何善于捕捉水的材料都不愿意与水分离)”以及“The process tends to drag on for hours to turn out usable water, unable to meet urgent needs in water-starved regions.(这个过程往往会持续数小时才能产生可用的水，无法满足缺水地区的紧急需求)”可知，传统取水方法效率低、产量低。故选A。 【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中“Ultrasound is a form of high-frequency sound wave that can generate microscopic shakes when acting on a substance. This being the case, the team put forward a straightforward idea: Applying ultrasound to the water-harvesting material, they could break the weak bonds between the water molecules and the material, quickly causing the water to shake loose and drop out as droplets.(超声波是一种高频声波，当作用于物质时能产生微观震动。既然如此，研究小组提出了一个简单的想法：将超声波应用于水收集材料，他们可以打破水分子和材料之间的弱键，使水迅速震动并脱落成水滴)”可知，研究小组是基于超声波的物理特性（能产生微观震动）提出了这个新想法。故选B。 【34题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段中“A solar cell can run the system and also act as a sensor that signals when the storage material has reached full limit.(太阳能电池可以为系统供电，也可以作为传感器，在存储材料达到极限时发出信号)”可知，太阳能电池在超声波设备中的作用是为设备供电并监测容量。故选C。 【35题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Endless possibilities will unfold when distinct fields of science — ultrasound technology, materials science and environmental engineering — come together.(当不同的科学领域——超声波技术、材料科学和环境工程——结合在一起时，无限的可能性将会展开)”可知，研究小组的技术突破主要归功于跨学科的融合。故选B。 七选五 【导语】这是一篇说明文主要讨论了人工智能工具是否真的变得过于强大的问题。 36. B。根据前面提到的“Now, some people say there should be a pause in AI work to make sure it doesn't become dangerous.”以及倒数第二段中的“Not all AI experts agree with the letter.”可知，一些人建议人工智能工具应该暂停，以确保它不会变得危险，下文接着说明人们对该建议的反应。B项“然而，这种说法并不是人人都同意”符合语境。 37. C。结合前面的“But scientists have been working to improve AI models”以及后面的“Extremely large models have surprised even their creators with what they can do.”可知，C项“这些努力得到了回报”承上启下，符合语境。 38. E。空处与后面的“But really, ChatGPT is simply guessing— based on its training information whose word is most likely to come next, over and over again.”形成对比，ChatGPT看上去似乎非常聪明，其实只不过是靠猜测。 39. F。根据前面的“The letter claimed AI companies were in a race to create‘ powerful digital minds’ that no one can‘ understand, predict, or control’.”可知，他们认为人工智能公司正在竞相创造无人能“理解、预测或控制”的“强大的数字思维”。因此他们呼吁应该制定法律，以确保人工智能工具是安全的。 40. D。结合后面的“Therefore, many companies are more likely to keep developing powerful AI tools.”可知，D项符合语境。 完形填空 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者的大女儿因为一些特殊需求，喜欢用花草手工制作一些艺术品。有一天女儿踏进了邻居家的花园开始摘花草，作者便写了一张真挚的便条向邻居道歉并说明情况，结果没想到邻居完全不介意，这加深了两家之间的联系。 41.

W: I want to travel to Mars. I think that would be the most amazing thing I ever do in life. What about you? M: I want to write a book about films. 【TEXT2】W: Can you pick up Amy after school today? She gets out at 12:30 p.m. I have a doctor’s appointment at 1:00 p.m. M: I can pick her up at 1:30 p.m. I’ll call the school and ask if she can go to the daycare after school for an hour. 【TEXT3】W: Thanks for making us dinner, Edward. I know it was my turn. M: No problem. I know that you have been studying hard for your exams, and I thought you might be hungry. 【TEXT4】M: What did you get in your math exam? W: I got an A! That means I can go to my first-choice university! What about you? M: I only managed a B. I can’t go to my first-choice university with these grades. 【TEXT5】M: Hi, Melissa. Did you only just get back from France? We were expecting you yesterday. W: Hi, Ted. Our flight was delayed by over 12 hours because of the weather. I phoned Jack and explained. 【TEXT6】M: Is it you that placed the order? W: Yes, thank you for coming so quickly. M: And we’re going to the airport? W: That’s correct. M: The app makes everything a lot simpler. I’ve already mapped out the quickest way for your journey. W: Well, that is very helpful. M: Thanks. I also have some bottles of water if you need them. W: Yes, please. I’m so thirsty. Thank you. 【TEXT7】W: I’m sorry, Mr. Marshall. I couldn’t get the books you asked for. M: Why not? I’m sure they’re over there. W: But I think the bookcase is locked or stuck. M: OK, sit back down and I’ll go and try to open it myself. W: I’m almost sure it’s locked. The door just wouldn’t move at all. M: If it is, I’ll have to get the key from the headmaster. Oh, but he’s not in today, is he? W: No, I think he’s gone on holiday. He might have taken the key with him. M: No, he wouldn’t do that — but he might have left it with Rachel. W: She was in school today. I saw her this morning. 【TEXT8】W: Thank you for inviting me to view this special exhibition. It was my pleasure to come to this gallery. M: That’s all right. The artworks were painted by a local artist. He spent decades painting the beauty of this unique town, along with scenes from his life. W: May I ask a question? I heard that the artist died in 1922 without ever selling a single painting. Is that true? M: Yes, indeed. The artist preferred to be alone. He lived by himself, working in secret, and painted almost all his life. His friends and family only discovered his talent after he died at the age of 92. When they cleared his house, they found more than 300 paintings. And no one had ever seen these paintings. W: How surprised and delighted he would be to know that his artworks are now being shown like this! M: Yes. One thing I particularly love is that these paintings tell me what his life was like from when he was young until his death. 【TEXT9】W: Hey Liam. Why do you look so down? What happened? M: It was my driving test today. Did you forget? W: Oh no. You failed? M: Yep, I failed. That is my fourth fail now. W: What went wrong? M: I think it’s because I was nervous. I passed all my practice exams with my instructor with high scores. But then with a stranger, I failed. W: I have an idea. M: What is it? W: Ask your instructor to go with you to the exam. You are allowed to have them in the back of the car. M: Really? W: Yes. My cousin did that to help her pass. It took her seven times! M: I shall talk to my instructor about it. W: How many lessons have you had? M: Feels like a million. But probably around 50. All my salary from working at McDonald’s disappears because of driving tests. W: It will be worth it in the end. It took me forever to pass my English and math exams. You must keep going. It’s the same when you are applying for jobs. You might be turned down 10 times, but on the 11th try, the job is yours. M: I suppose so. 【TEXT10】Hello, and welcome to Sounds of the Airwaves. First released in 1970, the last song we played was Let It Be by the Beatles. Written by English musician Paul McCartney, the song was inspired by a dream he had of his mother, who sadly died when he was just fourteen. In the dream, she tried to make Paul feel better by saying everything would be okay, and just “let it be”. He woke up, wrote the song, and it went to number one in countries all over the world! Sit back, relax and listen with me to some of the best songs the world has ever produced. Over the next hour, we’ve got 1987’s Bad by Michael Jackson, Universe by the boy band Exo, and many more. But before all that, coming up after the break, we have something totally different... From the 2019 album Lover, which sold over a million copies in China, Cruel Summer is a song about pain and upset. Sung by Taylor Swift, the popular American singer, it’s one to make you think!

Before diving into specific fields, consider these practical aspects: Academic Strengths: Focus on subjects you were good at in school. A major based on your natural abilities often leads to success. Career Prospects: Research the current job market trends globally to understand future opportunities. Further Education: Some careers, like medicine, require further studies (Master’s or Ph.D.) after a bachelor’s degree. Flexibility: Some majors train skills useful for different industries, providing more career choices later. Here are insights into some majors highly sought after by students. Computer Science (CS): It is a dynamic field constantly changing with technological advancements. Graduates with a Computer Science degree are in high demand across nearly all sectors. Engineering: This field applies scientific and mathematical principles to design, build, and maintain structures, machines, and systems. Engineers are crucial for innovation and development in various sectors. Business: It emphasizes leadership, teamwork and planning, preparing graduates for management roles in finance or marketing. Fine Arts: This field includes disciplines like painting, sculpture, photography, music performance and acting. Graduates develop highly valuable skills in creativity, problem-solving and communication. Choosing your major is an important decision, but it is also a process of discovery. Many colleges allow students to enter as “undeclared.” This provides time to explore subjects before making a final decision. 21. What should students consider when choosing a major? A. Their flexibility. B. The stability of the career. C. Their academic performance. D. The popularity of the major. 22. Which majors are good for improving interpersonal skills? A.

A plan for major selection. C. A career development brochure. D. A college admission guide. B Sixty-six-year-old Atsuko Oyama shares a goal held by many people a half-century younger. She wants to get 100 kills in the first-person shooter video game “Apex Legends”. True, she’s a little rusty (生疏的), having last fought against digital enemies in a “Space Invaders” shooting game sometime in the latter part of the 20th century. But after joining Japan’s first senior esports team in September, Ms. Oyama achieved 10 kills in a month and feels her enthusiasm growing. “Watching others play. I thought I couldn’t do it,” said the retired receptionist. “But I didn’t like to be left behind, so I decided to come here at least twice, and now I am into it.” Esports promoters who have seen Japan fall behind powerhouses in video game competitions think the senior market might be the way to catch up. And if the over-65 set feels a little more energized after shooting a few rival enemies, so much the better. Japan is the world’s oldest nation, but its efforts to boost the size of its younger population have been mostly unsuccessful. It is, however, at the forefront of initiatives to keep old people thinking younger. Ms. Oyama, whose player name is Mama, tried out for the team known as the Matagi Snipers after her daughter saw an ad recruiting players. The Matagi Snipers, named for a traditional group of bear hunters in northern Japan, have been practicing since September at their home base in northern Akita county. With an average age of 68, the 14-person team hopes eventually to compete in professional tournaments in first-person shooter titles such as “Apex Legends” and “Fortnite”. Coach “Lemon” motivates his team by telling them age is an advantage. He thought, there is a huge difference in social experience between people who have lived only 20 years versus 60 years. While younger players tend to be more violent, older players can communicate better and lean on teamwork. 24.Which of the following best describes Atsuko Oyama? A. Ambitious and creative. B. Diligent and enthusiastic. C. Intelligent and responsible. D. Independent and cooperative. 25.Why do the seniors play video games according to the passage? A. The junior population has been decreasing recently. B. The seniors are likely to make a greater achievement. C. The seniors may make up for the loss of Esports market. D. The youngsters are not keen on it because of heavy burden. 26.What mainly contributes to the seniors’ success in the game? A. Efficient cooperation. B. Sufficient leisure time. C. Highly focused attention. D. Previous gaming experience. 27.What is author’s attitude toward the senior video gaming? A. Supportive. B. Negative. C.Indifferent . D. Objective. C These students wandering through the woods on the outskirts of Portland, Oregon, aren't on a school field trip— this muddy field is their school. From the moment they're dropped off in the morning, they spend their entire day outside in one of Oregon's public parks. “Rain or shine, we're out here,” said teacher Christine Fleener. On this surprisingly nice day, Fleener's class of fifth graders headed to the grassland for a biology lesson. Further down the trail, a group of fourth graders was learning on logs. It's school, just not the type of school you might be used to. “Forest school is where the classroom does not have walls,” said Tony Deis, one of the founders of Trackers Earth Forest School. “It's how kids originally learned; they didn't learn sitting at desks, facing forward, looking at a teacher. They learned from a multi- sensory environment.” Over the past decade, outdoor forest schools have gained popularity in the United States. The idea is that the challenges that come with being outside all day— dealing with weather, building your own shelter, unearthing the unexpected— are all part of the learning process. It's complicated, of course. Outdoor schooling involves a puzzle of weather and regulations and budget issues. A well- funded private school in Portland, Oregon is one thing, but what about a public school in Portland, Maine? Surprisingly, cold Maine, of all places, has been quick to adopt outdoor learning. The district isn't all outside all the time, but certain classes, like art, have moved outdoors. Supplies came from a combination of federal funds and local donations. And while Maine has plenty of open space, Brooke Teller, the outdoor learning coordinator for Portland Public Schools, believes schools in major cities could have green classrooms hiding underneath their pavement. She said, “We have a few hundred landscape architects all across the country who have volunteered to be a thought partner with schools that want to figure out where on their grounds would be best for outdoor learning.” 28. What does the author describe at the beginning of the text? A. An interesting school field trip. B. The routine of a forest school. C. The popularity of public parks. D. An unforgettable biology lesson. 29. What is the main philosophy behind the concept of forest schools? A. Kids learn by doing. B. Kids learn out of interest. C. Kids learn by challenging others. D. Kids learn in pleasant environments. 30. What does Teller suggest schools that want to start outdoor education do? A. Start from certain classes. B. Make use of their open space. C. Work with landscape architects. D. Build green classrooms underground. 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. Outdoor education in Oregon B. Schools without walls C. Bringing forests to schools D. Benefits of learning outdoors D Engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have designed an innovative ultrasonic (超声波) system to shake water out of an atmospheric water harvester, recovering captured water in just minutes, a breakthrough aiming to address global water shortages. Atmospheric water harvesting, which collects water even from dry desert air, has been explored by scientists for ages. “Traditional methods rely heavily on solar heat to release the water absorbed by a special material. Any material good at capturing water doesn’t want to part with that water,” said the team leader Boriskina. “The process tends to drag on for hours to turn out usable water, unable to meet urgent needs in water-starved regions.” Ikra Shuvo, an MIT graduate student specializing in ultrasound technology for wearable medical devices, became a collaborator when Boriskina recognized his ultrasound expertise combined with theirs could solve the water recovery problem head-on. Ultrasound is a form of high-frequency sound wave that can generate microscopic shakes when acting on a substance. This being the case, the team put forward a straightforward idea: Applying ultrasound to the water-harvesting material, they could break the weak bonds between the water molecules and the material, quickly causing the water to shake loose and drop out as droplets. The team set out to develop an ultrasonic water-harvesting device. It is heat-free but requires external electricity. A solar cell can run the system and also act as a sensor that signals when the storage material has reached full limit. Programmed to activate automatically whenever enough water is ready to be collected, the setup boasts 45-fold higher energy efficiency than heat-based alternatives, operates independent of sunlight and enables repeated daily cycles for greater water output. It can be easily positioned in remote dry regions, providing a steady supply of clean water and a more energy-efficient, environmentally friendly alternative to energy-intensive processes like seawater desalination. Endless possibilities will unfold when distinct fields of science — ultrasound technology, materials science and environmental engineering — come together. The Svetlana-led MIT team’s leap in water recovery technology is a powerful testament to this very truth, one that is anticipated to bring vital solutions to water-scarce regions. 32. What did Boriskina say about traditional water harvesting methods? A. They’re low-yielding. B. They use waterproof materials. C. They’re resource-intensive. D. They vary from region to region. 33. On what basis did the team propose the novel idea in paragraph 4? A. The easy release of water. B. Ultrasound’s physical properties. C. The toughness of materials. D. Ultrasound’s application ranges. 34. What is the function of a solar cell in the ultrasonic device? A. To heat the storage material. B. To absorb and draw on sunlight. C. To power the device and monitor capacity. D. To set the device for automatic operation. 35. What mainly accounts for the team’s technological breakthrough? A. Pressing water demand. B. Cross-disciplinary integration. C. Interschool academic exchanges. D. Svetlana’s exceptional leadership. 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. Artificial intelligence(AI) tools have become extremely powerful, surprising even their creators. Now, some people say there should be a pause in AI work to make sure it doesn't become dangerous. 36 Most people have probably read a book or seen a movie or show about AI or a robot that has become so smart that it can take over the world. Most current AI tools are good at just one task, like answering questions, or identifying objects in photos. But scientists have been working to improve AI models, mainly by training the models on larger and larger collections of information. 37 Extremely large models have surprised even their creators with what they can do. Some recent models can create realistic photos from a short written description. Others can re- create anyone's voice saying anything based on a voice recording just a few seconds long. 38 But really, ChatGPT is simply guessing— based on its training information whose word is most likely to come next, over and over again. The rapid progress of recent AI models worries some people. Last week, many computer experts released a letter calling for a six- month pause for any work on AI tools. The letter claimed AI companies were in a race to create “powerful digital minds” that no one can “understand, predict, or control”. 39 Not all AI experts agree with the letter. Some say the letter makes today's AI tools sound more intelligent than they really are. Others say it's more important to worry about real problems with current AI tools rather than imaginary ones in the future. 40 Therefore, many companies are more likely to keep developing powerful AI tools. But the letter has sent a strong warning that many people including leaders will be thinking about this matter carefully. A. This causes terror. B. However, not everyone agrees. C. Those efforts are paying off. D. ChatGPT has caused so much excitement. E. ChatGPT appears to be extremely intelligent. F. They expect laws to make sure AI tools are safe. G. They predict the threat of AI will be powerful. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Our eldest daughter, who has special needs, has a habit of picking leaves from the plants and making some designs.

Recognized 57 our national intangible cultural heritage, the craft, the roots of 58 date back to the Qin Dynasty, comes from Daoming Town in Sichuan Province. “During our 59 (collaborate) with a brand, we always look for shared elements between their identity and bamboo weaving,” Zhang explained. “With M Stand, we focused on patterns and simplicity. The Z-shaped weave echoes the ‘M’ in their logo, and the neutral colors match their clean, minimalist style.” Zhang grew up watching her grandfather weave baskets. After studying product design at university, she chose 60 (explore) the craft even further. She traveled to Daoming in person to receive training from Zhao Sijin, the master inheritor of Daoming bamboo weaving. One of the most 61 (wide) used materials in Daoming weaving is Yinshan cizhu bamboo 62 (harvest) at two or three years old. With long joints, thin walls and strong flexibility, it produces durable products. 63 makes the process painstaking is that it involves dozens of complicated steps — scraping (刮) , splitting, slicing, thinning and stretching the fibers. So far, Zhang, together with other designers, 64 (diversify) the craft beyond traditional baskets into earrings, phone cases and even car seat backs. A gourd-shaped bookmark she designed brought in over 100, 000 yuan in a single month. Last year, she launched her own brand. “I spent a decade 65 (learn) in Daoming. From making small pieces to taking on complex, customized projects, it’s been a long and tough journey,” Zhang said. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假定你是李华，英国朋友 Peter发来邮件邀请你制作一段3分钟的视频，介绍中国某个传统节日，助力其学校“中国文化周”展示。请你给他回信，内容包括： （1）选定的节日； （2）说明要制作的视频内容； （3）征求意见。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Peter, I’m delighted to have the opportunity to introduce Chinese culture to your schoolmates during the upcoming Chinese Culture Week. _________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 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，使之成为一篇完整的短文。 It was just the three of us-my parents and me. I always felt it a pity that I would never have a chance to know what grandparents’ “spoiling” love would be like. My dad is a truck driver, and when I was little, he was gone most of the time, delivering wire and other supplies around the Midwest. My mom is a devoted teacher, always busy switching between looking after her only child and her many students. We lived in a small house in Brighton, Colorado, in a neighborhood of 1970s old houses. We moved there on my third birthday. My first memory is our neighbor Arlene handing me strawberries from her garden through a hole in the chain-link fence. She and her husband, Bill, lived next door. Arlene spent a lot of time working in the garden, and I was always talking to her from our yard. I think what drew me to Arlene and Bill is that they never got tired of listening to me. I also think Arlene saw a lot of herself in me-we were both lonely, anxious-and that may be why she always took the time to listen to me. Bill too. It was a wonderful connection. One day, my parents asked Bill and Arlene whether they’d watch me while they went out. This worked well for everyone, so it became a somewhat frequent occurrence. Arlene and Bill didn’t have kids. They had a spare room in their house, which became “my” room. I had boxes of toys and books in that room. Arlene and I would do crafts together. Bill taught me how to ride a bike and later how to fly a kite. It was his company that made father’s constant absence not so unbearable. When I was about five, I had an idea. My parents were watching TV when I spat it out, “what if I adopted Bill and Arlene as my grandparents?” 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。 My parents said I could ask them tomorrow.____________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ From the day I adopted them, I called Bill and Arlene Grandpa and Grandma. ______________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第 10 页 共 17 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
