It has also won praise at a film festival abroad. To the Wonder is based on the award-winning novel of Li Juan, My Altay (《我的阿勒泰》) and is directed by Teng Congcong. It is very poetic and filled with beautiful wisdom. The TV drama follows the journey of Li Wenxiu. She once wished to leave Altay, an area in Northern Xinjiang. After failing to realize her dream in the capital of Xinjiang, Li has to move back to her hometown and tries to find a new direction for herself. At first, Li finds it hard to understand her neighbors’ traditional way of thinking. Under the influence of her mother Zhang Fengxia, Li starts to see the place and its people in a new light. Later, she comes to understand their lifestyle and respect for nature. Fans describe watching the drama as an experience in the wonderland. “It’s like breathing in fresh air or lying under the sun,” said one fan. “It is a unique drama, very different from the usual Chinese series. A must-watch if you want to discover the beauty of the grassland and life there,” another fan said. “People enjoy the wonderful view of Altay. But the key to the success of the series lies in its ability to connect with the viewers (观众) on a human level,” said Teng Congcong. “In the drama, everyone communicates sincerely. Even if I disagree with you, I sincerely (真诚地) respect you. In fact, this is a very important part of human nature—the love for truth, goodness and beauty.” 21.

C When it comes to traveling, most people would choose to go with their families or friends. But now, many are choosing new travel buddies—their pets. Zeng Qingbin is one such person. Over the past eight years, the 35-year-old from Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, has traveled across the country with his dogs—a Shiba Inu named Chai Chai and a Labrador retriever called Ba Bao. In Zeng’s eyes, these dogs are like his children. “I’ve always dreamed of letting them run freely on wide grasslands with snow-capped mountains in the background,” Zeng said. As traveling with pets becomes more popular in China, related services are also growing. Zhang Wei, who specializes (专门从事) in pet hiking, has organized about 180 pet trips since 2022. Each trip usually includes two to five professional guides for groups of up to 30 owners and their dogs. “ ★ and all the guides are trained to deal with various emergencies (紧急情况) in the mountains,” Zhang said. What’s more, Zhang’s team asks pet owners to fill out a form about their dogs to provide a better service before a trip. At the same time, airlines have begun offering charter (包租) services for pet owners to travel across the country and even internationally. On June 14, China’s first outbound (出境的) charter flight allowing pets landed at Shanghai Pudong International Airport after taking 60 tourists and 18 pet dogs to Thailand. There will be more trips to South Korea, Southeast Asia and Europe. Though pet tourism is still in its early stages and faces many challenges in China, it is becoming a promising area for exploration in the tourism industry (行业), experts said. 26. Why did Zeng travel with his dogs? A. He didn’t like to travel with people. B. He wanted to train his dogs in the mountains. C. He didn’t have friends to travel with. D. He wanted them to experience the world. 27. Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A. All the dogs will be comfortable in this trip B. Safety is the most important thing C. Time will fly fast during the trip D. Dogs get on well with one another 28. What doesn’t Zhang’s team do to make sure pet trips are safe? A. Train dogs before the journey. B. Provide enough professional guides. C. Make guides learn about the dogs before the journey. D. Train guides to handle emergencies. 29. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2, . . . ) A. B. C. D. 30. What would the author write about after the last paragraph? A. The challenge in pet tourism. B. The promising part of pet tourism. C.

A student called Jason said that reading to a younger buddy was really helpful. He became more confident, as he knew he was a role model for someone. The school also became a closer community. The reading buddies felt more connected as they often met each other. The students were always excited when they saw their buddies pass by in the hallway. Now summer vacation is coming. It’s a great time to get into books. Why not pair up with a friend, choose a book you both like and read it together? 46. Buddy reading means ________. (不超过5词) 47. Instead of having students join in buddy reading with same-aged schoolmates, schools usually ________. (不超过8词) 48. Fill in the blanks according to the passage.
