Her friend smiled when she saw her empty plate. “‘Bring a plate’ means ‘bring some food’ in Australia,” her friend said. After hearing that, Grandma’s face turned red.

Many of the things you see, hear, or even taste in China may be symbols with special meanings! In many Western stories, dragons are frightening monsters. However, 37 Instead, they think dragons are a symbol of power and good fortune. Chinese dragons are so popular in China that you can see them in many places, such as vases, buildings, money, clothes, paintings, and jewellery! The word for “dragon” even appears in names and idioms. For example, “to hope that one’s children become dragons” means that parents hope their children will do well in life. In China, 38 In China, red is a powerful colour with special meaning. 39 So you will see red decorations such as paper-cuts, couplets, and lanterns during festivals like the Chinese New Year. People think red is so lucky that they wear it during celebrations. At traditional Chinese weddings, both the bride and groom wear red. Red also has positive meanings in other cultures, For example, a red carpet shows importance, and red roses symbolize love. 40 . If a company has “red ink” or is “in the red”, it means that they are losing more money than they are earning.

In Western culture, red could sometimes mean loss. 第二卷 非选择题（共50分） V．语篇填空 （共10分，每小题1分） 阅读短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给词的正确形式填空，使短文通顺、连贯。 My favourite book is The Old Man and the Sea.

We had to find help quickly, so we called an emergency number. It was already dark, and we couldn’t even see where we were. After some time, we heard dogs barking and the voices of the Blue Sky Rescue team. We were so thankful that they found us! I’ve never forgotten that day. Since then, I’ve wanted to help others too. I signed up with Blue Sky Rescue in 2009, and I’ve been a volunteer ever since. We’ve been to schools and other communities to teach children and adults how to stay safe and prepare for the worst. We’ve also rescued people during emergencies. Working as a volunteer has taught me many practical life-saving skills. It has also helped me understand the power of teamwork because it’s the key to successful rescues. Most of all, being volunteer has taught me the value of every life. The work is difficult. It’s voluntary, so we aren’t paid. We often go without food or sleep. But our primary goal has always been to save as many people as we can. I’m just an ordinary person, but I’ll rush into danger, just like everyone else in Blue Sky Rescue. To the people we’ve saved and their loved ones, I know we’re their heroes. And that makes everything we do worth it. 51. Who helped the writer and his friends? . 52. When did the writer join Blue Sky Rescue? . 53. What skills has the writer learned from volunteering? . 54. What qualities do you think a Blue Sky Rescue volunteer should have? Write 20 words or more. ________________________________________________ ________________________________________________ VI．翻译句子（共 10 分，每小题 2 分） 55．他一完成作业，就会帮他妈妈做家务。 ________________________________________________ . 56．自从 2020 年起我叔叔就住在这里。 ________________________________________________ . 57．昨晚八点他们正在为派对做准备。 ________________________________________________ . 58．你曾经听说过这本书吗？ ________________________________________________ ? 59．我和同学们相处融洽。 ________________________________________________ .
