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
【答案】21. C 22. A 23. B 24. D 25. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了中国学生为帮助交换生学习中国古诗而成立的“诗会”俱乐部,通过趣味卡片、鼓点节奏等方式,让古诗学习变得有趣,并促进了中外学生之间的文化交流。
【21题详解】
由第一段“For most foreign teenagers, learning Chinese poems could be boring”可知,大多数外国青少年认为学习中国古诗是无聊的。
【22题详解】
根据第二段内容,中国学生准备了“fun cards”(趣味卡片),随后提到“Cards about... were popular.”,紧接着说“They helped the exchange students...”。“They”指代的是帮助交换学生理解诗歌的“卡片”。
【23题详解】
由第三段“they used simple instruments like drums to experience the rhythm of the poems”和Alice的话“When I play the drums to a Tang poem, I can hear the music hidden in the lines”可知,打鼓帮助学生们感受诗歌的节奏。
【24题详解】
由第四段“Each character means a lot in poems. For example, 水 (shui) shows beauty, sweetness, and a smooth feeling”可知,作者用“水”作为例子是为了展示中国汉字丰富的含义。
【25题详解】
文章主要讲述了通过“诗歌聚会”俱乐部,利用卡片、打鼓等有趣的方式帮助交换学生学习中国诗歌,强调了学习过程的趣味性。最后一段也总结道“learning poems can be fun for everyone”。因此“Fun with Chinese Poems”(中国诗歌之乐)最适合作为标题。
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.
【答案】26. B 27. C 28. A 29. D 30. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章按时间顺序介绍了中国邮政及快递服务从古代到现代的发展历程及未来展望。
【26题详解】
根据第一段“In 1896, China opened its very first post office.”可知,1896年发生的是中国第一家邮局开业。
【27题详解】
根据第二段“Post offices were set up all around the country. Their services stretched to even the quietest, farthest villages.”可知,此处指服务范围覆盖或到达了偏远村庄,“Reached”(到达)意思最接近。

阅读短文,用英文填空或回答问题。(注意每小题的词数要求)
Imagine you have no phone, no map, and no one to ask for help. 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___

Humans’ great wisdom allows us to find our way through natural signs and various tools.
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了在现代技术出现之前,人类如何利用天空、自然迹象、特殊标记和工具这四种方法来辨别方向。
【46题详解】
①由第二段“One simple way is to watch the sky”可知,第一种方法是在晴朗的夜晚观察天空。watch the sky表示“观察天空”,空处与“Read signs in nature”“ Notice special marks”和“Depend on tools”并列,故填Watch the sky。
②由第三段“in the forests of North America, hunters can easily tell the north is on the mossy side”可知,在北美洲的森林中可以通过苔藓辨别方向。故填in the forests of North America“在北美洲的森林里”。
③由第四段“Travelers who saw one would know the right way”可知,石像向旅行者指明正确方向。show the right way表示“指明正确方向”,此处句子陈述客观事实,用一般现在时,主语It是第三人称单数,show用单三形式。故填shows the right way。
④由第五段“During the Northern Song Dynasty, the compass was invented. Sailors used it at sea to find their way”可知,水手在海上使用指南针。故填the compass“指南针”。
【47题详解】
根据全文内容及最后一段“Even long before modern technologies, people all over the world knew where they were going.(即使在现代技术出现很久之前,世界各地的人们都知道他们要去哪里。)”可推知结尾总结句应概括全文内容,概括人类辨别方向的智慧和方法。

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.

四、读写结合(共两节,满分25分)
第一节 任务型阅读(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,用英文填空或回答问题。(注意每小题的词数要求)
Imagine you have no phone, no map, and no one to ask for help. 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___
