Many people watched this video and felt amazed. They wanted to know why he could speak English so well. Li Zhonghua was born in a village in 1975. He didn’t learn English before he went to Shanghai in 2019. His interest in learning English started in 2020. One day, a foreign friend asked him for help, but Li Zhonghua didn’t know what he was talking. After that, he decided to learn English. He studied it after work.

Especially during the National College Entrance Examination, better known as the “gaokao”, many mothers wear qipaos to wish their children good luck in the exam. The reason is that “qipao” represents the Chinese phrase “qi kai de sheng”, meaning victory. The qipao has a high collar (衣领), with pankous, traditional Chinese knotted buttons (纽扣), on the front. Some people believe the qipao originated from gowns (长袍) worn by women in the Qing Dynasty. Influenced by Western culture, it changed continually during the early 20th century, becoming more fitted and body-hugging. After years of development, the qipao is now mainly divided into Beijing styles, Shanghai styles and Hong Kong styles. There are many differences in color and design. The Beijing-style qipao is more traditional than Shanghai-style and Hong Kong-style qipaos. The colors of Beijing-style qipaos are much brighter. High-quality Beijing-style qipaos are usually made by hand, so the price is much higher. Compared with Beijing-style qipaos, Shanghai-style ones are more fashionable. More western elements are used in the designs and colors. Shanghai-style qipaos became the most popular qipao style around the1930s because of the stylish design and slim shape. Now, Shanghai-style qipaos are still the first choice for most women, especially among younger ones. Hong Kong-style qipaos have been greatly influenced by European fashions. They have shorter sleeves than the other two. The decorations are simpler, too. The qipao is a very classic product to represent the beauty of traditional Chinese clothing. It shows not only the history of the Han people, but also the footprints of other cultures on the land. 26. How does the writer start the passage? A. By telling a story. B. By using a saying. C. By describing a scene. D. By asking a question. 27. Many mothers wear qipaos during the exam to ________ . A. develop traditional culture B. celebrate their children’s victory C. make their children relaxed D. express good wishes to their children 28. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in Para. 2? A. Who buys the qipao. B. What the qipao looks like. C. How the qipao changed. D. What the qipao originated from. 29. Which words can best describe Shanghai-style qipaos? ①traditional ②modern ③popular ④simple A. ①② B. ②③ C. ③④ D. ①④ 30. What is the right structure of the passage? (①=Para. 1; ②=Para. 2…) A. B. C. D. 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） Without changes, our lives would be very boring.

For example, they learned to be kind and patient when they listened to each other. This experience also made students get a chance to practice lifelong skills such as communicating with others. A student called Davis said that reading to a younger buddy was really helpful. He became more and more confident (自信的), as he knew he was a role model for someone. The school also became a closer community. The reading buddies felt closer as they often met each other. The students were always excited when they saw their buddies pass by in the hallway. Reading is like a wonderful journey. Buddy reading makes this journey even more fantastic. Now the winter vacation is coming. It’s a great time to get into books. Why not find a friend, choose a book you both like and read it together? 46. According to the passage, buddy reading means ____________________________________________________________ (不超过10词) 47.
