In exchange for their help, they may get free or cheap accommodation (住宿), meals or classes. Volunteer travel isn’t a new way to explore the world. It first became popular in the 1960s.     （3）     However, as time goes by, more and more volunteer trips are taking place in the volunteers’ home countries.      （4）     First of all, volunteer travel allows you to give back to the communities you visit. Whether you’re teaching English to children, cheering up sick kids, or working with wildlife, your efforts can make a real difference in the lives of others.      （5）     It’s also a great way to explore new cultures, meet new people and open our minds to the world around us. By working alongside locals on community projects, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the places you visit and learn some valuable life skills. In a word, you can learn a lot from a volunteer vacation, and give back to society at the same time. A．It’s important to do your research. B．There are many advantages of volunteer travel. C．But volunteer travel isn’t just about helping others. D．If so, volunteer travel could be a good choice for you. E．At first, most volunteer activities took place in a foreign country.

Suddenly, Confucius looked at him and asked a     （34）     question. Zengzi knew that his teacher was teaching him a great lesson. He wanted to show his     （35）     and seriousness. Without thinking twice, Zengzi stood up at once. He     （36）     his own seat quickly and stood     （37）     the mat. This action was called “bixi” (避席) in ancient China. It showed that he was modest and willing to learn     （38）    . Confucius saw this and felt very     （39）    . He knew Zengzi truly understood the importance of good manners. In ancient times, leaving one’s seat was a    （40）     of respect. It meant “I am not good enough to sit while you are teaching me.” Zengzi     （41）     did this whenever his teacher taught him. He never sat casually or spoke loudly. He always kept     （42）     and waited for Confucius to finish. This story tells us that     （43）     is one of the best virtues.

Have you thought about their meanings in films? Much like colors, different shapes can show different features (特征) of characters in the scenes. ②Circles represent (象征) things that are soft and natural. The round shape reminds us of things that appear in nature, like the sun, flowers, raindrops and so on. We can also connect circles with beautiful eyes, babies’ round faces…All these things make us feel happy and warm. This is why so many cartoon characters’ bodies — heroes, kids, good people — are round in shape, because circles represent goodness, happiness and friendliness. ③Squares show things that are unnatural or man-made, or things that are boring or old-fashioned. In Up, Carl, an elderly man, has a square face and wears square glasses, while Russell, an 8-year-old boy with a round face, always wears round medals. These shapes show the characters’ personalities. Carl is stubborn (执拗的) and lonely, while Russell is lovely and full of energy. ④The angriest shape is the triangle. Kids who draw a monster with sharp teeth draw a row of triangles, don’t they? That’s because the shape represents fear, distrust and doubt in some way. If you look at the evil guys in cartoons, you’ll find they’re all drawn with plenty of points and triangles. And triangles are stable (稳定的) and don’t easily fall down. In films, this feature makes bad people difficult to deal with. ⑤Not only in cartoons, but also in other kinds of films, different shapes are used for the same purpose. So, next time you see a film, try to find the hidden shapes and you will know what the characters are like. 49.How does the writer start the passage? A. By telling a story. B. By asking questions. C. By listing numbers. D. By giving an example. 50.What does the underlined word “evil” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Brave. B. Bad. C. Polite. D. Honest. 51.Which of the following is the structure of the passage? A. ①/②③④/⑤ B. ①②③④/⑤ C. ①/②③④⑤ D. ①②/③/④⑤ B For centuries, China has been known as “a state of ceremony”, which means Liyi Zhibang. There was much greeting etiquette in ancient China. And the fist-and-palm salute (拱手礼) was quite a classic example. Today, although Chinese people usually shake hands when meeting friends and relatives, people still make fist-and-palm salutes when they are paying a visit to someone during the Spring Festival or attending someone’s wedding or birthday party. The fist-and-palm salute has a history of more than 3,000 years. Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, people had already performed it when meeting peers (同辈). In ancient times, if people met a stranger, they would prepare for a fight if necessary, and their hands were always ready for holding any weapon (武器). Holding hands together pointed towards themselves was a gesture of saying “relax”, meaning “I’m not with any weapon and I’m not here to pick a fight”. Later, it became the etiquette when people met each other or showed thanks. So, how should people do the fist-and-palm salute properly? First, stand at attention. If you’re a man, make a fist (拳) with your right hand, then hold the right hand with your left hand in front of your chest, look at the person, raise both hands to the eyebrows (眉毛), bend down and shake hands gently three times. At the same time, you can also say some lucky greeting words. If you’re a woman, you should do it the other way which should be the right hand on the top. People may be more familiar with the hold-fist salute, called bao quan li in Chinese. It is widely used among the kung fu masters and students. This gesture is formed by holding the right fist first very tightly closed and covering it with the left hand open, and extending both arms a little forward in front of the chest. Make sure the left thumb (拇指) is close to the index finger (食指) and don’t point it at yourself, as it shows impoliteness. 52.What does the underlined word “etiquette” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Need. B. Manners. C. Dances. D. Groups. 53.Which picture shows the CORRECT way for women to do the fist-and-palm salute? A. B. C. D. 54.If Mike wants to do the hold-fist salute, he should ______. A. keep his right hand open B. put his right hand on his left hand C. not point his left thumb at himself D. not hold out his arms 55.What can we learn from the passage? A. There are no standards for these two salutes. B. The fist-and-palm salute is more common in kung fu. C. Now, people celebrate one’s birthday with the hold-fist salute. D. These two salutes seem similar, but they are quite different. 六、任务型阅读-简答：本大题共1小题，共10分。 56.Wang Xingxing: The Robot Dog Builder Wang Xingxing is the founder and CEO of Unitree Robotics (宇树科技), a famous Chinese tech company.
