B “Dad, I need your help. Come here!” My 5-year-old girl pulled me towards the computer. “Dad, please buy everything I have in the Amazon shopping cart(购物车). Here, take this cash from my savings!” The shopping cart showed ten items for a total of about 130 dollars. “Wait!” I replied. “That’s too much money! Why do you need all these things?” “Please, Dad! These items will get here before Christmas. I have a surprise for everyone. No peeking(偷看)!” she explained, and I bought everything. A couple of days later, she got everything.

She was all around her gifts, planning, protecting, arranging. Everything had to be perfect. As soon as dinner was over, she jumped from her chair and took her gifts. She went around giving each one of us her piece of love. These were small items, but it was the meaning of giving her heart that we were really feeling. As she gave the gift to each person, she watched the expression on our faces. Our smiles were her greatest reward. Her last gift was for my 2-year-old boy—a toy car. It was hard to describe my little boy’s delight at getting this gift! For several minutes, everyone’s attention was focused on watching him go all around the house happily. Seeing these acts of my 5-year-old helped me understand the power of giving—giving from the heart. Later that day, my girl received some gifts, but she didn't need them.

C A diverse crowd of several hundred people queued up in front of the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco on Thursday morning for a ceremony that meant more to them than just the issue of a popular postage stamp. The United States Postal Service’s launch of a special stamp for the Year of the Rabbit has come to symbolize more than just a collectors’ item for many. “We constantly talk about celebrations of our diversity as strengths,” San Francisco Mayor London Breed said at the stamp’s launch. “The Lunar New Year represents thousands of years of history. It is the time to promote this (Asian) community in such an extraordinary way.” Breed emphasized that San Francisco is a place where discrimination(歧视) against Asians is unacceptable. Inspired by decorated masks used in dragon and lion dances, USPS art director Antonio Alcala worked on the beautiful rabbit stamp design with artist Camille Chew. Jay Xu, director of the Asian Art Museum, said the Lunar New Year celebrations and the stamp launch all reflect the recognition of “our community’s fine integrity(正直) and essentialism” to the United States. “It enables us to tell more stories—our past, our present and our future,” said Xu, adding that people could strike up a conversation through the collection of artifacts(历史文物) such as stamps. “Stamps can go everywhere and can define friendship between different countries and cultures. This stamp is for all. The Lunar New Year is for all.” Derek Kan, a member of the USPS board of governors, said, “For more than three decades, USPS has issued stamps highlighting the Lunar New Year, and they are some of the most successful stamp releases in our history.” Chloe Chan, a second-generation Chinese immigrant, said the rabbit stamp is very “artistic” and worthy of her long wait in line. She has collected every stamp the USPS has issued for the Chinese New Year celebration. Chan is hopeful that her children and grandchildren will observe the Lunar New Year the same way she does, with housecleaning, holiday decorations, rituals(礼仪) and food to honor family roots and the Chinese culture. The USPS issued its first Chinese New Year stamp for the Year of the Rooster on Dec. 30, 1992. 8. Who expects that her or his later generations will celebrate the Lunar New Year? A. Chloe Chan. B.

Which can replace the underlined word “highlighting” in Paragraph 5? A. Requesting. B. Scheduling. C. Emphasizing. D. Monitoring. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. USPS Keeps Issuing Stamps Highlighting Lunar New Year B. Artistic Rabbit Stamp Worthy of Being Displayed C. Stamp Goes Everywhere and Defines Friendship D. Rabbit Stamp Symbolizes Culture Bond D “The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence.” That's an old saying in English. It means that other places often look better, more interesting than the place where you live. “Let’s go to KFC for dinner and then watch some Japanese cartoons!” We all know it: More and more Chinese kids love American and Japanese food and movies. Some people worry that young Chinese are beginning to feel that way. They see young Chinese ignoring(忽视) Chinese culture and, instead, buying Japanese cartoon books, watching Korean soap operas and even celebrating Western holidays. Foreign books and soap operas are good, but Chinese writers and actors are just as good. As for holidays, Christmas is nice, but it can never have the meaning for Chinese that the Spring Festival has, and the West has nothing to compare with the Mid-Autumn Festival. China has lots of cool things in its culture: calligraphy, Beijing Opera, quick meals on the streets. And let's not forget the part of Chinese culture I like best: its friendliness. Not all countries are as warm as China. It’s good to enjoy other cultures and learn from them, but they can never replace your own culture.It's good to look on the other side of the fence, but make sure you take a good long look. You will find that the grass isn't always greener. Although some people become worried about that, I don’t think they should.Will we get more powerful without learning from other countries? Will Chinese people live more happily without American fast food? Besides, it’s fun to learn about different cultures.Chinese kids can learn about other cultures and have fun, but they also need to learn more about their own culture. Be proud of Chinese culture and of being Chinese! 12. What do some people think of young Chinese? A. They are foolish in learning our own culture. B. They are ignoring our own culture. C. They are interested in our own culture. D. They are hating our own culture. 13. In some young Chinese’s eyes, which of the following is not the “greener grass”? A. Japanese cartoon books. B. Korean soap operas. C. Christmas. D. The Mid-Autumn Festival. 14. In the author's opinion, what is the best feature of Chinese culture? A. Friendliness. B. Working hard. C. Bravery. D. Honesty. 15. What does the author want to express in the text? A. Chinese culture is worse than Western culture. B. Chinese young people like the green grass. C. That grass is not always greener. D. Western culture is always interesting. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) We all know what it means when a nice envelope lands in your mailbox: Someone’s getting married, and they' re hoping that you can be there for the big day. While saying yes to the invitation is a relatively straightforward process, things can get a bit awkward if you're not so sure about attending. 16 . To help you get out of these formal engagements without feeling awkward，we've consulted Katie Balmer, a leading wedding expert in Scotland. Follow the format. The level of formality should be informed by the way that the invitation was sent. 17 , you should decline via post. If the message came in an email, a simple email expressing your regrets will do. Don’t put off your response. If you already know that you can't make it for whatever reason, don’t hesitate to let the happy couple know why. “It is very important to respond in good time. 18 ,” says Balmer. 19 . While it's a nice gesture to offer a reason for your refusal, there’s no need to be extreme. A simple response will do, and it’s an especially bad idea to emphasize your reason if it's cost-related.It will establish nothing beyond making the couple feel bad. Don’t change your decision. 20 , it is important to stick to that decision. “Going back and forth only adds to the inconvenience for the soon-to-be newlyweds,” says Balmer. “As long as you are honest and timely, the bride and groom would understand.” A. Make it up to the couple B. Be brief in your explanation C. If the offer was sent to you by mail D. Do not leave it until the last possible moment E. Once the decision not to attend the wedding has been decided F. Otherwise，you risk adding to the couple's last-minute wedding stress G. Turning down a wedding is a situation where you can feel very personal 16—20 GCDBE 第二部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) Chinese traditional clothing, or hanfu, has been increasingly 21 by Western fashion in recent decades.

But there was still an hour’s work to get everything cleaned up. It would be 11:00 pm after I finally got home. I hadn’t even had time to have dinner. I was starving. My feet ached.My whole body, from head to foot, was filled with tiredness. I couldn't wait to crawl into bed.I had to get up at 5:00 a.m. the next day. Things had been tight for over a year. My husband Paul’s business had taken a huge hit. Without me taking my second job, there wouldn’t be enough money at the end of the month to pay the bills, let alone buy any Christmas presents for our 15-year-old daughter, Marie. No one wanted to wake up on Christmas morning with a bare tree. Even so, I wondered how I could possibly handle everything—I work full-time at a day care, then I work nights at the mall, and somehow I do my homework for my college class, too. Not to mention what it was doing to my family. I barely even saw Paul and my daughter anymore. Marie was growing up, but a teenage girl still needs her mom. I worried about her, about us. Was she eating enough? Keeping up with her school work? I wasn’t afraid of hard work or sacrifice(牺牲). Everyone had to dig deeper these days and put in extra hours. I knew I was blessed to have two jobs when millions of people couldn’t find one. How I hoped to quit my job at the day care and complete a degree full-time. I’d dropped one class for a semester(学期). If I quit that, there was no way I'd find the willpower to try again. Besides, wasn’t I always telling Marie to keep hoping, keep working and never give up? What kind of example was I setting for my daughter? Suddenly, someone was banging hard at the back door of the mall. Then I went to the door and cautiously cracked it open ... It was Marie.She had just finished babysitting. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 She smiled and held out a bag of food. I pulled her tight against me but the warmth, the comfort I felt went way beyond even the best hug from my daughter. She smiled and held out a bag of food. She thought I didn’t have time for dinner, so she bought me a bag of food with her own money earned by babysitting and waited for me there all the time. While I was eating, she told me that I was her hero and she admired everything I was doing for the family. She said that when she was babysitting long hours or when she was tired of doing homework, she thought about my hard work and sacrifice. So she remembered to keep hoping, keep working and never give up. I pulled her tight against me but the warmth, the comfort I felt went way beyond even the best hug from my daughter. Tomorrow the alarm would still ring at 5:00 a.m. The bills would still be waiting. There would be more rough days ahead. But I was ready to face them together with Paul and Marie. All of us were willing to work hard and hold on to each other. Things would get better with the love of a good family. 1 / 6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 新高二英语暑期课程 练习03 第一部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) A Less than two months away from the Spring Festival, sales on travel websites start to hit a seasonal high.As the influence of Chinese New Year expands, international tourism also helps to introduce this indispensable cultural heritage to every corner of the world, which means in 2024, more Chinese people choose to spend their holidays overseas.

But there was still an hour’s work to get everything cleaned up. It would be 11:00 pm after I finally got home. I hadn’t even had time to have dinner. I was starving. My feet ached.My whole body, from head to foot, was filled with tiredness. I couldn't wait to crawl into bed.I had to get up at 5:00 a.m. the next day. Things had been tight for over a year. My husband Paul’s business had taken a huge hit. Without me taking my second job, there wouldn’t be enough money at the end of the month to pay the bills, let alone buy any Christmas presents for our 15-year-old daughter, Marie. No one wanted to wake up on Christmas morning with a bare tree. Even so, I wondered how I could possibly handle everything—I work full-time at a day care, then I work nights at the mall, and somehow I do my homework for my college class, too. Not to mention what it was doing to my family. I barely even saw Paul and my daughter anymore. Marie was growing up, but a teenage girl still needs her mom. I worried about her, about us. Was she eating enough? Keeping up with her school work? I wasn’t afraid of hard work or sacrifice(牺牲). Everyone had to dig deeper these days and put in extra hours. I knew I was blessed to have two jobs when millions of people couldn’t find one. How I hoped to quit my job at the day care and complete a degree full-time. I’d dropped one class for a semester(学期). If I quit that, there was no way I'd find the willpower to try again. Besides, wasn’t I always telling Marie to keep hoping, keep working and never give up? What kind of example was I setting for my daughter? Suddenly, someone was banging hard at the back door of the mall. Then I went to the door and cautiously cracked it open ... It was Marie.She had just finished babysitting. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 She smiled and held out a bag of food. I pulled her tight against me but the warmth, the comfort I felt went way beyond even the best hug from my daughter. 1 / 6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
