The Chinese Sturgeon It is a big, long fish with a sharp nose. We can find it in Yichang. It lives in the sea but is born in the Yangtze River. People raise baby sturgeons and put them back into the river. The Milu Deer It has a face like a horse, a tail like a donkey, feet like a cow, and antlers like a deer. Chinese people call it sibuxiang. We can find it in Shishou. It likes to stay near water. It eats grass and lies down under trees. Now its number is growing thanks to the wetland protection. The Little Egret It is all white with long black legs and yellow feet. We can find it in the Honghu Lake and other wetlands in Hubei. It stands on one leg when it relaxes. It likes to walk slowly in shallow (浅的) water. Cleaner wetlands give it more fish to eat and safer places to live in. The Yangtze Finless Porpoise It has a small round head and a smiling mouth. We can find it in Wuhan. It loves to play in and jump out of the water. It’s called “the giant panda of the water”. To provide better environment for it, people are not allowed to fish for ten years. 16. Which animal lives in the sea but is born in the river? A. The Chinese sturgeon. B. The milu deer. C.

B For most foreign teenagers, learning Chinese poems could be boring. But for a group of exchange students in China, it became an amazing trip. To help them learn more, Chinese students in a middle school started a club called “Poetry Gathering”. In this club, students explored the classic poems in active and creative ways. Chinese students prepared “fun cards”. On the cards were famous poems and theme (主题) paintings. Cards about Li Bai’s moon, Du Fu’s mountains, and Wang Wei’s desert were popular. They helped the exchange students know how ancient poets used Chinese to “paint” pictures. Besides, they used simple instruments like drums to experience the rhythm (节奏) of the poems. “When I play the drums to a Tang poem, I can hear the music hidden in the lines,” said Alice, an exchange student. “It makes the poem easy to sing out loud and interesting to share.” By putting poems, paintings and the rhythm together, students made the club a fun place where ancient poets met their teenager fans. When Chinese students and exchange students studied together, they both benefited greatly. “To help them better understand our poems, I have to do some closer reading. Each character means a lot in poems. For example, 水 (shui) shows beauty, sweetness, and a smooth feeling,” said Li Ran. “When my new foreign friend said he could feel the imagery (意境) of the lines, I felt very proud of our culture.” Li added. In fact, learning poems can be fun for everyone. These activities not only offer students a chance to learn more about Chinese poems, but also bring people of different languages and cultures together. 21. What do most foreign teenagers think of learning Chinese poems? A. Exciting. B. Useful. C. Boring. D. Easy. 22. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refer to (指代)? A. Cards. B. Paintings. C. Poems. D. Mountains. 23. What did playing the drums help the students do? A. Sing more poems. B. Feel the rhythm of poems. C. Share classic music. D. Create lively nature scenes. 24. Why did the writer use the example of “水 (shui)”? A. To describe different forms of water. B. To tell the pronunciation of the character. C. To express Chinese people’s love for water. D. To show the rich meanings of Chinese characters. 25. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. A Talk on Chinese Culture B. A Taste of Classic Lines C. Power of Deep Thoughts D. Fun with Chinese Poems C In ancient China, letters were sent by pigeons and packages (包裹) by horses. Common people could hardly afford it. In 1896, China opened its very first post office. That was the beginning of China’s own postal service. With a small stamp on the cover, people in big cities could send letters and packages. Bikes, ships and trains carried them across mountains and rivers in the country, even abroad. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the postal service grew rapidly. Post offices were set up all around the country. Their services stretched to even the quietest, farthest villages. That made communication much easier for people in every corner of the country. College students could write to their parents in faraway hometowns. Friends and relatives could send packages on festivals to greet each other. Since the 1990s, a new branch (分支) of postal service, the delivery (快递) industry, has also grown rapidly. Take the year 2025 for example. Every second, over 6,000 packages were on the move. Every day, more than 500 million packages were processed and put into trucks. In the whole year, over 180 billion were sent across the country. And the fastest delivery took only several hours! Now, “speed” is no longer the only key word in this industry. Many delivery services have started to go green. Each year, more than 800 million boxes are reused or recycled. Besides, smart packing models are widely used. There’s no doubt that delivery services are smart in our life and friendly to our environment. From pigeons and horses to delivery trucks, China’s postal history shows how this old great nation has developed and progressed. Looking forward, will China’s postal service fly to the moon and other planets in outer space? 26. What happened in 1896 according to the passage? A. Stamps were invented in China. B. China’s first post office was opened. C. People stopped using pigeons and horses. D. Ships and trains began to carry passengers. 27. What does the underlined phrase “stretched to” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Reported. B. Moved. C. Reached. D. Missed. 28. Which can best describe the delivery services according to paragraphs 3&4? A. Faster Greener Smarter B. Greener Smarter Cheaper C. Smarter Faster Safer D. Safer Cheaper Greener 29. What can we learn from the last sentence of the passage? A. The writer hopes to live on other planets. B. The writer shows interest in space history. C. The writer wants to check the delivery address. D. The writer has confidence in China’s postal service. 30. How does the writer organize the passage? A. In the order of time. B. In the order of space. C. From opinions to facts. D. From reasons to results. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从方框内所列选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺、连贯。（选项中有一项多余） Flowers can make a colorful natural world. Spring is a perfect time to explore them. 31 ________.

How would you know where to go? For thousands of years, humans have found clever methods to take directions. One simple way is to watch the sky. East is where the sun rises, and west is where it sets. That is the simplest sign. At night, ancient Chinese depended on the stars. The most useful one is the North Star. It stays almost still in the northern sky. Travelers followed it along their journeys across the desert. Sailors (水手) once used it to guide their ships on the sea. Nature offers you signs to read. For example, moss (苔藓) grows thicker on the wet dark north side of trees. That’s why in the forests of North America, hunters can easily tell the north is on the mossy side. Man-made marks are left to help. In the snowy Arctic, local people built stone statues (雕塑) — shaped like a person — as special signs. Travelers who saw one would know the right way. Even today, people still build them as marks or works of art. Tools give people a hand. About 2,500 years ago, the Chinese made sinan. It was often used to help people build houses facing south. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the compass (指南针) was invented. Sailors used it at sea to find their way and return home safely. Later, the compass spread to Europe. It was improved and used to explore unknown oceans and find new lands. Even long before modern technologies, people all over the world knew where they were going. ▲ 46-49.
