I’m Jim. I have an experience of my own about Chinese culture which is popular with foreigners.
A few years ago, I went to Italy as an exchange student. Before leaving, I asked my mother what gifts I should take to the teachers and the classmates there. Mum said that the Chinese fan was a good option (选择) , for China is praised as “the Fan Kingdom”. I agreed completely, because it is more than a tool for cooling. And it’s also an important part of Chinese culture.
I went shopping and bought three kinds of Chinese fans. The first kind was the feather (羽毛) fans for the teachers, which was made of bird feathers. It was the symbol of Zhuge Liang, a very smart man in ancient China. The fans I bought for the girls were silk fans. They were also called “round silk fans”. Fans of this kind were made of silk with paintings of beautiful women, birds or flowers. They were very popular with women of all ages. As for the boys, I picked the folding fans from Rongchang, a place in the west of Chongqing. The folding fans were made of paper and bamboo. There were great paintings and calligraphy on them.
At the welcome party in Italy, my new friends were all excited to get the wonderful fans. And they were even more excited after learning about the stories and culture behind them.

Do you know anything about volunteer work? Have you heard of volunteer travel? During the trip, volunteer travelers often provide services like teaching, cooking, animal caring, and cultural activities. As a result, they get meals, classes or something else for free or at a lower price.
You may think this kind of journey can only be possible these years by modern transport (交通工具). But in fact, volunteer travel dates back to 1958. At that time, Alec Dickson and his wife Mora from the UK started Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO)—an organization providing volunteer work all over the world.
In the past, volunteer travel usually took place in foreign countries. However, more people have taken part in volunteer trips in their own countries these years. According to Sanlian Lifeweek magazine, volunteer trips to the countryside are attractive to people living in the city. They hope to take a rest from the fast and busy city life by doing some volunteer work in villages.
Volunteer travel helps city people have a taste of village life. Many people are bored with the busy life in the city. What’s more, volunteer travel helps local (当地的) people improve their lives.
Volunteer travel can not only show kindness to people in need, but also help people get more life experiences. Why not give it a try next time?

One thing is very interesting. ____40____ The reason is the books I bought don’t have a return date! I don’t need to return them. But I must return the books I borrowed in time.

根据前文“Do you want to read more?”提出问题,后文分点给出具体建议,A项“Here are some ways.”(这里有一些方法)作为总起句,自然引出下文。
【37题详解】
前文小标题“Define your purpose for reading.”(明确阅读目的),后文具体解释如何明确,因此空格处应进一步说明阅读目的的分类,E项“Most people read for two main reasons—pleasure or knowledge.”符合语境,
【38题详解】
本段主题为“放弃不喜欢的书”,前文说“you find that these are books that you don’t enjoy at all”,后文说“Reading shouldn’t be a chore”,B项“Whenever you realize that you aren’t enjoying the book you are reading, give it up.”是对该建议的重复强调,与段意一致。
【39题详解】
本段后文提到“Having a reading goal helps you find out how much reading you need to do... Give yourself a deadline...”,整段围绕“设定阅读目标”展开,C项“Set a reading goal.”作为小标题统领全段。
【40题详解】
前文说“One thing is very interesting.”,后文解释原因“the books I bought don’t have a return date! I don’t need to return them. But I must return the books I borrowed in time.”,即对比借阅和购买两种方式的阅读速度差异,F项“I read books that I borrow from libraries faster than the books I bought.”点明这一有趣现象,并与后文形成因果关系。

【48题详解】
句意:他们对他说伤人的话,但他只是保持沉默。此处缺少系动词连接主语“he”和表语“silent”,且时态需与前半句“said”保持一致(一般过去时)。选用动词过去式“remained”(保持),构成“remain silent”(保持沉默),符合语意。
【49题详解】

【50题详解】
句意:听到这些事情,我变得比我妈妈还要生气。由空格后的“than”可知,此处必须填入形容词的比较级。得知弟弟被恶劣欺负,姐姐自然感到愤怒,选用形容词比较级“madder”(更生气的),完美契合语意与语法。

I’m Jim. I have an experience of my own about Chinese culture which is popular with foreigners.
A few years ago, I went to Italy as an exchange student. Before leaving, I asked my mother what gifts I should take to the teachers and the classmates there. Mum said that the Chinese fan was a good option (选择) , for China is praised as “the Fan Kingdom”. I agreed completely, because it is more than a tool for cooling. And it’s also an important part of Chinese culture.
I went shopping and bought three kinds of Chinese fans. The first kind was the feather (羽毛) fans for the teachers, which was made of bird feathers. It was the symbol of Zhuge Liang, a very smart man in ancient China. The fans I bought for the girls were silk fans. They were also called “round silk fans”. Fans of this kind were made of silk with paintings of beautiful women, birds or flowers. They were very popular with women of all ages. As for the boys, I picked the folding fans from Rongchang, a place in the west of Chongqing. The folding fans were made of paper and bamboo. There were great paintings and calligraphy on them.
At the welcome party in Italy, my new friends were all excited to get the wonderful fans. And they were even more excited after learning about the stories and culture behind them.
根据短文内容,判断下列句子正(T)、误(F)。

Do you know anything about volunteer work? Have you heard of volunteer travel? During the trip, volunteer travelers often provide services like teaching, cooking, animal caring, and cultural activities. As a result, they get meals, classes or something else for free or at a lower price.
You may think this kind of journey can only be possible these years by modern transport (交通工具). But in fact, volunteer travel dates back to 1958. At that time, Alec Dickson and his wife Mora from the UK started Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO)—an organization providing volunteer work all over the world.
In the past, volunteer travel usually took place in foreign countries. However, more people have taken part in volunteer trips in their own countries these years. According to Sanlian Lifeweek magazine, volunteer trips to the countryside are attractive to people living in the city. They hope to take a rest from the fast and busy city life by doing some volunteer work in villages.
Volunteer travel helps city people have a taste of village life. Many people are bored with the busy life in the city. What’s more, volunteer travel helps local (当地的) people improve their lives.
Volunteer travel can not only show kindness to people in need, but also help people get more life experiences. Why not give it a try next time?
