B Richard Sears is a 75- year- old American. All these years he kept focusing on one thing:Telling stories behind Chinese characters since he was 40. His interest in Chinese culture and language pushed him to learn Chinese in China. As he studied, Sears realized quickly that many things were not true. He wanted to find the truth and explain the step- by- step evolvement(进化) of these characters from the original pictographs(最初的象形文字) to the modern simplified forms(简体). He finally got his website up in 2002 and named it ChineseEtymology(汉字字源), where visitors can check Chinese characters in different forms for free. At first, the website didn't get many people's attention. Suddenly, in January 2011, clicks to the website went up to600,000 in one day. Overnight he became Uncle Hanzi, a name given by Chinese people. In June 2020, the Nanjing local government in Jiangsu Province gave Sears the Jinling FriendshipAward. In September 2021, Sears set up his studio(工作室) in Nanjing. The studio uses AR, animation andAI to tell stories of Chinese culture and character origins. “They can make young Chinese happy and have educational value and can teach the origins of Chinese characters,” he says. At the same time, Sears keeps changing the website.“My belief is huo dao lao xue dao lao( live and learn), so never stop learning.” ( )24. How long has Richard Sears been focusing on telling stories behind Chinese characters? A. For 20 years. B. For 35 years. C. For 40 years. ( )25.

Sears plays an important role in creating new Chinese characters. ( )27. What's the best title for the passage? A. Chinese Etymology B. American“Uncle Hanzi” C. The History of Chinese Characters C Do you know that China is a very special and wonderful country? It is famous for its long history, rich culture and beautiful scenery. But today, I want to tell you about another great thing about China. China is a nation of etiquette(礼仪). Chinese people are among the most hospitable people in the world.If foreigners visit a Chinese family, they would be surprised at the warmth that they would receive as guests.

Then he will serve you snacks like biscuits or candies. Also, someone in the family will chat with you, never letting you feel lonely. At the same time, other family members will prepare a meal for you. Chinese people treat their guests to a big meal. They always present enough food. And the guests must be the first to eat. Perhaps one of the things that surprise Western guests most is that the Chinese host likes to put food in visitors' bowls, which won't happen in Western countries. The Chinese family go out of their way to make you feel at home. As you finish eating, the host usually says,“It seems that you didn't eat much. Please have more.” Being warm and hospitable has long been an important part of Chinese culture and tradition.

It's a tradition for some foreign Chinese speakers andChinese teachers to get together to mark the special day. 32 Chinese famous writer Lu Xun once said that the beauty of Chinese characters lies in three ways: their meanings educate the mind, their sounds please the ear, and their appearances please the eye. 33 The history of Chinese characters can date back over 3,000 years. To improve beauty and writing efficiency(效率), different kinds of characters were developed, such as zhuanshu, lishu, caoshu, and kaishu.The beauty of Chinese characters is still clear and popular today. Many Chinese characters pass down meanings through history. 34 Through them, we can closely connect the past, present, and future of our country. According to a recent survey, more than 30 million people worldwide are learning Chinese. 35 As more people can speak their mother languages and Chinese, the culture of Chinese characters is likely to be better understood and enjoyed worldwide. A. They want to know more about the language. B. They are symbols of Chinese traditional culture. C. The language is taught in over 190 countries and areas. D.

It started long ago. The festival is on lunar 9 September. On this day, people show love and respect to the grandparents. There are many ways in which Chinese people express their respect. When an older person enters a room, everyone stands. People are introduced from the oldest to the youngest. When we present a book to an older person, two hands are used. Young people always offer their seats to older people on a crowded subway or bus. Respecting older people is a tradition in China. That's because the Chinese know that older people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn. Chinese people are proud of being old. In Western countries, however, older people seldom think they are old. They are called“senior” instead of old people. They'd rather do everything themselves. Even after retirement(退休), they take up hobbies,part-time jobs and new activities to keep their bodies working well. Westerners respect their older people too. Usually, seniors don't have to buy tickets for trains and buses. They are given discounts(折扣) in stores and restaurants. But Western seniors don't often live with their children—— they live alone. For holidays, the family usually gather at the grandparents’ home. A great smile and a warm hug for the parents are enough for grown children to show their respect. 56. How many ways do Chinese people use to express their respect in the passage? 57. What can the young learn from older people? 58. How do Western grown children show their respect for the parents? 59. How do you show your respect to the older people in your daily life? 60.将短文中画线句子翻译成中文。 第二节(满分15分) 假如你是李华，你最近认识的英国笔友 David给你发了一封电子邮件。请认真阅读下面的邮件，根据邮件的内容用英语回复。 To: lihua@ china.com From: davidsmith@ britain.com Subject: Going to Hangzhou Dear Li Hua, I'm going to Hangzhou this summer vacation.

In China, people usually shake hands when they meet for the first time. And when you visit a friend,it's polite to arrive on time or a few minutes early. Speaking of table manners, you should sit up straight and keep your elbows off the table. We usually use chopsticks to eat instead of knives and forks. However, it's impolite to point at anyone with chopsticks and we can't stick them into the food,either. What's more, we should never waste food. Try to finish all the food on your plate. I hope everything will be fine and I'm sure you will have a great time in China. Yours, Li Hua 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
