六、阅读理解
When talking about the Chinese food going abroad, you can’t forget River Snail Rice Noodles or Luosifen. It is one of the most popular snacks in Liuzhou City, Guangxi province. The dish is famous for its strong smell. Do you know how to make Luosifen?
The first step is to prepare some rice noodles, river snails and different kinds of ingredients. To make it, firstly, people should soak (浸泡) the rice noodles in water until they are soft. After that wash the river snails and make soup. When the rice noodles and the soup are ready, then boil rice noodles with sour bamboo shoots (酸竹笋), dried tofu skin, fresh vegetables and peanuts in river snail soup. The taste mostly comes from the sour bamboo shoots. This ingredient gives Luosifen its unique taste. “Without the sour bamboo shoots, Luosifen will lose its soul (灵魂),” some people say.
In the 1970s, Luosifen was just a cheap street snack in Liuzhou. People outside of the city knew little about it. It became an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) of Guangxi in 2008. Four years later, a popular Chinese food show, A Bite of China, made Luosifen known to the public and then it became a household name. From then on, Luosifen has become popular across China.
Now more and more Luosifen restaurants are opened not only in the big cities in China, but also in many foreign countries like the US, Australia, Germany and so on. People can also buy instant (速食的) Luosifen online on apps such as Taobao and TikTok. You can enjoy Luosifen wherever you like.

52. To make Luosifen, people first need to ________.
A. boil the rice noodles B. soak the rice noodles in water
C. wash the river snails D. make the river snail soup
53. What does the underlined word “unique” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Special. B. Similar. C. Normal. D. Simple.
54. Why did Luosifen become popular around China after 2012?
A. Because of its unique taste and smell.
B. Because of a TV program called A Bite of China.
C. Because it became an intangible cultural heritage of Guangxi.
D. Because many Luosifen restaurants opened in Beijing, Shanghai and other places.
55. What is the main idea of this passage?

八、读写综合
阅读下面的一篇短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
Nowadays, there are more and more TV talent shows. They are very popular all over China.
These talent shows give everyone a chance to show of their talents. For some lucky people, these talent shows may make them famous, and can even make them rich. However, there are also many bad sides. First, some young people just imitate (模仿) their favorite stars. They may forget about their own styles. Second, young people spend too much time on such TV shows. They always dream of being a star. So they spend less time on their studies.
I think these shows are social activities. Young people can take part in these activities to get social experience. But they should know that the chance of becoming famous is very small for most people. They should know that they should work hard at something more important, their schoolwork. In short, you can do what you like, but you should know what is important and what is not.

六、阅读理解
When talking about the Chinese food going abroad, you can’t forget River Snail Rice Noodles or Luosifen. It is one of the most popular snacks in Liuzhou City, Guangxi province. The dish is famous for its strong smell. Do you know how to make Luosifen?
The first step is to prepare some rice noodles, river snails and different kinds of ingredients. To make it, firstly, people should soak (浸泡) the rice noodles in water until they are soft. After that wash the river snails and make soup. When the rice noodles and the soup are ready, then boil rice noodles with sour bamboo shoots (酸竹笋), dried tofu skin, fresh vegetables and peanuts in river snail soup. The taste mostly comes from the sour bamboo shoots. This ingredient gives Luosifen its unique taste. “Without the sour bamboo shoots, Luosifen will lose its soul (灵魂),” some people say.
In the 1970s, Luosifen was just a cheap street snack in Liuzhou. People outside of the city knew little about it. It became an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) of Guangxi in 2008. Four years later, a popular Chinese food show, A Bite of China, made Luosifen known to the public and then it became a household name. From then on, Luosifen has become popular across China.
Now more and more Luosifen restaurants are opened not only in the big cities in China, but also in many foreign countries like the US, Australia, Germany and so on. People can also buy instant (速食的) Luosifen online on apps such as Taobao and TikTok. You can enjoy Luosifen wherever you like.

53. What does the underlined word “unique” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Special. B. Similar. C. Normal. D. Simple.
54. Why did Luosifen become popular around China after 2012?
A. Because of its unique taste and smell.
B. Because of a TV program called A Bite of China.
C. Because it became an intangible cultural heritage of Guangxi.

八、读写综合
阅读下面的一篇短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
Nowadays, there are more and more TV talent shows. They are very popular all over China.
These talent shows give everyone a chance to show of their talents. For some lucky people, these talent shows may make them famous, and can even make them rich. However, there are also many bad sides. First, some young people just imitate (模仿) their favorite stars. They may forget about their own styles. Second, young people spend too much time on such TV shows. They always dream of being a star. So they spend less time on their studies.
I think these shows are social activities. Young people can take part in these activities to get social experience. But they should know that the chance of becoming famous is very small for most people. They should know that they should work hard at something more important, their schoolwork. In short, you can do what you like, but you should know what is important and what is not.
