People may think you’ re mad if you drive a car around town. Besides, nothing quite lets you get to know a city like a good walk around. So, lace up your sneakers — here are London’s best walking tours for your next visit. Tour for Muggles This is a can’t-miss trip in England. The tour starts near London Bridge subway station and moves on to locations used in the Harry Potter films (and several book locations). There’s one subway ride (London Bridge to Westminster) but otherwise it’s all on foot. Groups are capped to 20 and accept tourists of all ages. Jermyn Street Fashion Walk A seriously professional private tour to match your preferences. Groups are recommended no larger than eight, and it’s all done on foot. Most of the guides, who lead the Jermyn Street walk, have a background of art, history or fashion, and one even trained as a tailor. Historic Pubs, Food & Beer Tour Think of this as a walk with friends rather than a tour (groups are capped at 12). You meet at a best selfie spot — at Rotherhithe, overlooking the Thames — then catch the overground train to the pubs. By reservation only. Five of London’s most historic pubs in four hours is not an easy but worthwhile task. East End Walks East End Walks is a collection of 15 tours run by one man, David Rosenberg. The tours cover the social history of the traditionally working class area. Groups are capped at 30. You meet near the subway station. Rosenberg, whose grandparents moved to the East End as children, loves the area and its social history a lot — it holds the story of the working class, which is rarely told. 1.Which tour best suits people who are interested in the history of the working class? A. Tour for Muggles B. Jermyn Street Fashion Walk C. East End Walks D. Historic Pubs, Food & Beer Tour 2.What do the four walking tours have in common? A. They limit the number of a group. B. They have professional guides. C. They are private tours to your preference. D. They recommend reservation in advance. 3.Where is the text probably taken from? A. A news report. B. A travel brochure. C. A geographic magazine. D. A history textbook. 【答案】1. C　2. A　3. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇应用文。伦敦是世界上最适合步行的首都城市之一。文章介绍了四大伦敦最好的徒步旅行。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据East End Walks部分的“The tours cover the social history of the traditionally working class area.(这些旅游涵盖了传统工人阶级地区的社会历史)”可知，对工人阶级历史感兴趣的人们最适合去East End Walks。故选C。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Groups are capped to 20 and accept tourists of all ages.(团体人数上限为20人，并接受所有年龄段的游客)”，第三段的“Groups are recommended no larger than eight, and it’s all done on foot.(团体旅游建议不超过8人，全程步行)”，第四段的“Think of this as a walk with friends rather than a tour (groups are capped at 12).(你可以把这当成是和朋友一起散步，而不是旅游(团体人数上限为12人))”及第五段“Groups are capped at 30.(团体人数上限为30人)”可知，四大徒步之旅都限制团队人数。故选A。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段的“So, lace up your sneakers — here are London’s best walking tours for your next visit.( 所以，系好你的运动鞋吧——下面是你下次来伦敦时最好的徒步旅行)”可知，文章介绍了四大伦敦最后的徒步旅行。由此推知，本文可能选自一本旅游小册子。故选B。 主题语境02 人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·河北保定部分校·期中）Four Great Ideas for Your Vacation Bahia Beach, Puerto Rico On a big piece of land that used to have coconut trees, there’s a place called St. Regis Bahia Beach.

The program is called “bicibús” or bike bus. In Barcelona, the program started recently with only five children and grew quickly to hundreds of riders. This fall, children in the Eixample area of Barcelona have a new way to get to school on Fridays — they ride their bikes. In September, a group of five children began biking to school with their parents on Fridays. Soon the group grew to 150 or more. The bike bus begins around 8:25 every Friday morning. The route it will follow is always posted ahead of time, so everyone knows where to join. Instead of riding in bike lanes (道) or on sidewalks, the bicibús takes over the entire street. The commute (通勤) of these bikers takes about 25 minutes. And with the ever-growing cycling and skating kids taking part in this bike bus culture, the local police are helping stop traffic by riding in front of the bicibús and behind it. This further makes the parents happy that the additional security means their children will travel safely to school. With music playing and bike bells ringing, the bicibús feels like a party. “The best part of the bicibús is that we ride along and pick up my friends and we ride together,” nine-year-old Maria Pitarch says. Some parents have made the bicibús the way they get to work on Friday. Parents are hoping that the bicibús will help change ideas about how people can get around in the city. They want the city to create wider, kid-friendly bike lanes that are separate from car traffic.They point out that the bicibús also helps cut down on pollution. Recently, pictures and videos of the Eixample bicibús got a lot of attention on the social media site. Many people pointed out what a simple idea it is, and how easy it is to get started. Already some other areas in Barcelona are also organizing bike buses. 1.What can we learn about the bicibús? A. It has a free schedule. B. Its path is made known in advance. C. It takes over the whole sidewalks. D. Its safety is a concern for parents. 2.Why does the author mention Maria Pitarch in paragraph 4? A. To introduce more about the bike bus. B. To encourage readers to join the bike bus. C. To praise the performance of the kids. D. To show the enjoyment kids get from the program. 3.What do the parents expect the local government to do? A. Cut down on pollution. B. Focus on traffic problems. C. Build safer bike lanes for kids. D. Improve the bicibús program. 4.What is the public’s attitude toward the bike bus? A. Doubtful. B. Curious. C. Disappointed. D. Supportive. 【答案】1. B　2. D　3. C　4.

The books I read as a child often had animals at their heart — The Owl Who was Afraid of the Dark, Charlotte’s Web. Farming, however, was something I experienced later in life, in my teenage years. It’s something I instantly connected with, and I feel fortunate that my children have been able to grow up helping out on the farm and spending lots of time with our livestock and pets. It’s so important to get a connection with farming at an early stage. We all eat food, so being familiar with where it comes from and what goes into producing it is a natural thing. If a spark of interest can be ignited early, it can only be a good thing going forward. It’s a joy to see the children’s faces light up on school visits when they see the photos of animals on our family farm and watch the video of an egg hatching (孵化). Animals have a unique magic all of their own. Being around animals also teaches children what they can take with them into adulthood. It builds foundations of responsibility, kindness, as well as perseverance and problem solving. We work together as a family a lot on the farm, which builds a strong work ethic and a sense of teamwork — both fantastic life skills. I’m a firm believer that you don’t know what you’re going to love until you try it. My hope is that if children from non-rural backgrounds get a taste of what it’s like on a farm, then they might discover something they love. 1.How does the author lead into the topic? A. By showing his desire to keep animals. B. By recommending his childhood reads. C. By sharing his own experience with nature. D. By comparing his farm life with his children’s. 2.What does the underlined word “ignited” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Awakened. B. Expressed. C. Weakened. D. Kept. 3.What role does an early contact with farming play in children’s growth? A. A time killer. B. A character builder. C. A social connector. D. An emotional comforter. 4.Which statement does the author probably agree with? A. Well begun is half done. B. What pains us shapes us. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Interest starts with practice. 【答案】1. C　2. A　3. B　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要通过讲述个人的经历，论述了在人生的早期阶段，在农村长大给成长带来的好处。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据首段“Growing up in rural (农村的) communities, I always had a love of the countryside, animals and nature. The books I read as a child often had animals at their heart—The Owl Who was Afraid of the Dark, Charlotte’s Web.(在农村社区长大，我一直热爱乡村、动物和大自然。我小时候读的书里经常有动物的身影——《怕黑的猫头鹰》、《夏洛的网》。)”可知，该段介绍了作者在农村成长的经历带来的影响，由此可知，本文是通过介绍个人经历引入话题的。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据划线单词后的“It’s a joy to see the children’s faces light up on school visits when they see the photos of animals on our family farm and watch the video of an egg hatching (孵化). Animals have a unique magic all of their own.(当孩子们参观学校时，看到我们家庭农场里动物的照片和鸡蛋孵化的视频，他们的脸上都露出了喜悦的表情。)”可知，孩子们看到农场里的动物的照片和鸡蛋孵化的视频时，他们都会感到开心，结合划线单词所在的句子“If a spark of interest can be…early, it can only be a good thing going forward.(如果兴趣的火花能够及早被……，那么它在将来只会是一件好事。)”可推知，兴趣的火花被尽早“点燃”，在将来会是一件好事，划线单词的意思应与A项“Awakened点燃”意义相近。故选A项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题，根据倒数第二段中的“Being around animals also teaches children what they can take with them into adulthood. It builds foundations of responsibility, kindness, as well as perseverance and problem solving. We work together as a family a lot on the farm, which builds a strong work ethic and a sense of teamwork—both fantastic life skills.(它建立了责任、善良、毅力和解决问题的基础。我们一家人经常在农场一起工作，这建立了强烈的职业道德和团队意识——这两种都是很棒的生活技能。)”可知，早期与农场接触可以让孩子建立责任、善良、毅力和解决问题的基础，还可以形成强烈的职业道德和团队意识这样的生活技能，由此可知，早期与农场的接触可以培养儿童的性格和能力。故选B项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据尾段“I’m a firm believer that you don’t know what you’re going to love until you try it. My hope is that if children from non-rural backgrounds get a taste of what it’s like on a farm, then they might discover something they love.(我坚信你不知道你会爱上什么，除非你尝试过。我的希望是，如果来自非农村背景的孩子们能体验一下农场的生活，那么他们可能会发现自己喜欢的东西。)”可知，作者认为只有你尝试过才会爱上，同时，作者希望没有农村成长背景的孩子来体验一下农场生活会发现自己喜欢的东西，由此可知，作者赞成的观点是兴趣源于实践。故选D项。 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·河北沧州南皮县第一中学·期中）The Chinese version of TikTok, Douyin, is introducing a “teenage mode” that will limit the amount of time to 40 minutes a day for children under the age of 14 who spend on the short-form video app. It will also be unavailable to those users between 10 p. m. and 6 a. m. The measures will apply to all Douyin users under the age of 14 who have registered using their real names, its company announced in a statement on Saturday. The company also encourages parents to help their children use real names, or they can set the “teenage mode”. The app will also introduce new content, ranging from science experiments and museums to art exhibition and natural scenery, to inspire younger teens. Experts remark that limiting the usage of Douyin is an active measure which is of great benefit to minors (未成年人). The decision will push other Internet platforms with short videos to consider setting similar limits. Self-management and voluntary change of the platforms can make them more socially responsible. Douyin had at least 490 million users in November 2020, according to a media research firm. The Chinese government has already started pressuring tech companies to control the large amount of time minors spend on their services. In June, China changed the Minor Protection Law, which requires Internet service providers —including social media apps—to “set up corresponding (相关的) functions such as time management, content restriction and consumption limits for minors.” Last month, China prevented online gamers under the age of 18 from playing on weekdays and limited their play to just three hours most weekends. A series of measures have been taken to further ensure the safety of businesses focused on the next generation, from a heavy hit on after-school classes to rules for online gaming and videos. 1.What will the company of Douyin do with its teenage mode? A. Limit the time for children to use Douyin. B. Encourage parents to use their real names. C. Allow children to use Douyin after 10 p. m. D. Attract more children to watch online videos. 2.Which opinion will the experts agree with probably? A. Limiting usage of Douyin is of little significance. B. The measures won’t have effects on other platforms. C. The self-management of the Internet platforms is enough. D. The Internet platforms should take more responsibilities. 3.What can we infer about tech companies from paragraph 4? A. They wanted to take the place of Douyin. B. Their business should follow the new law. C. They refused to set up corresponding function. D. Their influence was discovered by media research firms. 4.What’s the main purpose of the government’s measures? A. To encourage online games. B. To protect the next generation. C. To develop advanced technology. D. To reduce the kids’ learning pressure. 【答案】1. A　2. D　3. B　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了抖音引进“青少年模式”，限制青少年使用时间。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The Chinese version of TikTok, Douyin, is introducing a “teenage mode” that will limit the amount of time to 40 minutes a day for children under the age of 14 who spend on the short-form video app. ”（TikTok中国版抖音正在引入一种“青少年模式”，将 14 岁以下儿童在短视频应用上花费的时间限制为每天 40 分钟。）可知，抖音公司将限制孩子使用抖音的时间。故选A项。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Experts remark that limiting the usage of Douyin is an active measure which is of great benefit to minors (未成年人).”（专家表示，限制抖音的使用是一种积极的措施，对未成年人有很大的好处。） 以及根据第三段中“Self-management and voluntary change of the platforms can make them more socially responsible.”（平台的自我管理和自愿改变可以让他们更有社会责任感。）可知，专家们认为平台的自我管理和自愿改变可以让他们更有社会责任感，因此专家们可能会同意互联网平台应该承担更多责任。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段中“In June, China changed the Minor Protection Law, which requires Internet service providers —including social media apps—to “set up corresponding (相关的) functions such as time management, content restriction and consumption limits for minors.””（今年 6 月，中国修改了《未成年人保护法》，要求互联网服务提供商——包括社交媒体应用程序——“为未成年人设置相应的时间管理、内容限制和消费限制等功能”。）可知，通过法律的修改，中国更加注重对未成年人的保护，因此我们可以推断出科技公司的生意应该遵守新法律。故选B项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“A series of measures have been taken to further ensure the safety of businesses focused on the next generation, from a heavy hit on after-school classes to rules for online gaming and videos.”（为进一步确保以下一代为重点的事业的安全，已经采取了一系列措施，从重创课后培训到在线游戏和视频的规则。）可知，政府措施的主要目的是为了保护下一代。故选B项。 Passage 2 （25-26高一上·河北张家口第一中学·期中）The Student Essay Competition of Yorkshire We are thrilled to announce the beginning of our annual student essay competition.

Driven by passion, innovation, and a desire for independence, they are starting their own businesses fresh out of university or even before graduation.

He specializes in a language that is thousands of years old, the Dakota language, spoken by the Dakota people. “The Dakota language is ‘the most important aspect’ of Dakota culture. Without it, our Dakota culture would no longer exist.” Peters claimed. “I was lucky to grow up around many first-language Dakota speakers. But now the elderly continually passed away and at the end of their lives, they just wanted to know their families would continue to have the language. One of the problems our people have is finding ways to get at-length and ongoing exposure (接触) to the language.” Aside from instructing at the college level, Peters uses social media to share videos that connect humor, culture, and basic-level conversation to help teach Dakota. In his free time, he visits Dakota elders. He also started an online group of youth to share the knowledge of the language in a safe and supportive space. Akiša Peters wants to tell the youth that if they want to learn their own language, sit with their elders and learn from them. Endless vocabulary sheets could discourage them from learning. Standards created by non-speakers could also do that. “Within the next decade, I believe my colleagues, other Dakota-learning relatives and I will have children and start a new generation of Dakota. I also hope my brothers and sisters will take the path we laid out for them and continue to learn and speak Dakota. On my reservation there are numerous young people working on the comeback of the language. I’m hopeful because I’m definitely not alone.” Akiša Peters told Teen Vogue. 1.Why does Akiša Peters teach the Dakota language? A. To enrich his experience. B. To record its written form. C. To prevent it dying out. D. To make it known globally. 2.What can we say about Akiša Peters according to paragraph 3? A. Learned. B. Creative. C. Stressful. D. Expert. 3.What does Akiša Peters expect the young people to do? A. Deal with vocabulary sheets. B. Keep to the given standards. C. Communicate with their elders. D. Learn from their teachers. 4.Which section of a website is the text probably taken from? A. Culture. B. Business. C. Fashion. D. Research. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. C　4.

Without it, our Dakota culture would no longer exist. (达科他语是达科他文化中‘最重要的方面’。没有它，我们的达科他文化将不复存在)”及“But now the elderly continually passed away and at the end of their lives, they just wanted to know their families would continue to have the language. (但是现在不断有老人去世，在他们生命的尽头，他们只是想知道他们的家人会继续使用这种语言)”可知，达科他语是达科他文化的核心，没有语言文化就会消亡，而且老一辈在不断离世，语言传承面临危机。由此可知，阿基萨・彼得斯教授达科他语是为了防止它消亡。故选C。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段“Aside from instructing at the college level, Peters uses social media to share videos that connect humor, culture, and basic-level conversation to help teach Dakota. In his free time, he visits Dakota elders. He also started an online group of youth to share the knowledge of the language in a safe and supportive space.

Passage 2 （25-26高一上·河北沧州南皮县第一中学·期中）Best Walking Tours in London London is one of the most walkable capital cities in the world. People may think you’re mad if you drive a car around town. Besides, nothing quite lets you get to know a city like a good walk around. So, lace up your sneakers — here are London’s best walking tours for your next visit. Tour for Muggles This is a can’t-miss trip in England. The tour starts near London Bridge subway station and moves on to locations used in the Harry Potter films (and several book locations). There’s one subway ride (LondonBridge to Westminster) but otherwise it’s all on foot. Groups are capped to 20 and accept tourists of all ages. Jermyn Street Fashion Walk A seriously professional private tour to match your preferences. Groups are recommended no larger than eight, and it’s all done on foot. Most of the guides, who lead the Jermyn Street walk, have a background of art, history or fashion, and one even trained as a tailor. Historic Pubs, Food & Beer Tour Think of this as a walk with friends rather than a tour (groups are capped at 12). You meet at a best selfie spot — at Rotherhithe, overlooking the Thames — then catch the overground train to the pubs. By reservation only. Five of London’s most historic pubs in four hours is not an easy but worthwhile task. East End Walks East End Walks is a collection of 15 tours run by one man, David Rosenberg. The tours cover the social history of the traditionally working class area. Groups are capped at 30. You meet near the subway station. Rosenberg, whose grandparents moved to the East End as children, loves the area and its social history a lot — it holds the story of the working class, which is rarely told. 1.Which tour best suits people who are interested in the history of the working class? A. Tour for Muggles B. Jermyn Street Fashion Walk C. East End Walks D. Historic Pubs, Food & Beer Tour 2.What do the four walking tours have in common? A. They limit the number of a group. B.

Passage 3 （25-26高一上·河北保定河北定州中学·期中）In Spain, children and their families are riding bikes to school together in large groups. The program is called “bicibús” or bike bus. In Barcelona, the program started recently with only five children and grew quickly to hundreds of riders. This fall, children in the Eixample area of Barcelona have a new way to get to school on Fridays — they ride their bikes. In September, a group of five children began biking to school with their parents on Fridays. Soon the group grew to 150 or more. The bike bus begins around 8:25 every Friday morning. The route it will follow is always posted ahead of time, so everyone knows where to join. Instead of riding in bike lanes (道) or on sidewalks, the bicibús takes over the entire street. The commute (通勤) of these bikers takes about 25 minutes. And with the ever-growing cycling and skating kids taking part in this bike bus culture, the local police are helping stop traffic by riding in front of the bicibús and behind it. This further makes the parents happy that the additional security means their children will travel safely to school. With music playing and bike bells ringing, the bicibús feels like a party. “The best part of the bicibús is that we ride along and pick up my friends and we ride together,” nine-year-old Maria Pitarch says. Some parents have made the bicibús the way they get to work on Friday. Parents are hoping that the bicibús will help change ideas about how people can get around in the city. They want the city to create wider, kid-friendly bike lanes that are separate from car traffic.They point out that the bicibús also helps cut down on pollution. Recently, pictures and videos of the Eixample bicibús got a lot of attention on the social media site. Many people pointed out what a simple idea it is, and how easy it is to get started. Already some other areas in Barcelona are also organizing bike buses. 1.What can we learn about the bicibús? A. It has a free schedule. B. Its path is made known in advance. C. It takes over the whole sidewalks. D. Its safety is a concern for parents. 2.Why does the author mention Maria Pitarch in paragraph 4? A. To introduce more about the bike bus. B. To encourage readers to join the bike bus. C. To praise the performance of the kids. D. To show the enjoyment kids get from the program. 3.What do the parents expect the local government to do? A. Cut down on pollution. B. Focus on traffic problems. C. Build safer bike lanes for kids. D. Improve the bicibús program. 4.What is the public’s attitude toward the bike bus? A. Doubtful. B. Curious.

The books I read as a child often had animals at their heart — The Owl Who was Afraid of the Dark, Charlotte’s Web. Farming, however, was something I experienced later in life, in my teenage years. It’s something I instantly connected with, and I feel fortunate that my children have been able to grow up helping out on the farm and spending lots of time with our livestock and pets. It’s so important to get a connection with farming at an early stage. We all eat food, so being familiar with where it comes from and what goes into producing it is a natural thing. If a spark of interest can be ignited early, it can only be a good thing going forward. It’s a joy to see the children’s faces light up on school visits when they see the photos of animals on our family farm and watch the video of an egg hatching (孵化). Animals have a unique magic all of their own. Being around animals also teaches children what they can take with them into adulthood. It builds foundations of responsibility, kindness, as well as perseverance and problem solving. We work together as a family a lot on the farm, which builds a strong work ethic and a sense of teamwork — both fantastic life skills. I’m a firm believer that you don’t know what you’re going to love until you try it. My hope is that if children from non-rural backgrounds get a taste of what it’s like on a farm, then they might discover something they love. 1.How does the author lead into the topic? A. By showing his desire to keep animals. B. By recommending his childhood reads. C. By sharing his own experience with nature. D. By comparing his farm life with his children’s. 2.What does the underlined word “ignited” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Awakened. B. Expressed. C. Weakened. D. Kept. 3.What role does an early contact with farming play in children’s growth? A. A time killer. B. A character builder. C. A social connector. D. An emotional comforter. 4.Which statement does the author probably agree with? A. Well begun is half done. B. What pains us shapes us. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Interest starts with practice. 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·河北沧州南皮县第一中学·期中）The Chinese version of TikTok, Douyin, is introducing a “teenage mode” that will limit the amount of time to 40 minutes a day for children under the age of 14 who spend on the short-form video app. It will also be unavailable to those users between 10 p. m. and 6 a. m. The measures will apply to all Douyin users under the age of 14 who have registered using their real names, its company announced in a statement on Saturday. The company also encourages parents to help their children use real names, or they can set the “teenage mode”. The app will also introduce new content, ranging from science experiments and museums to art exhibition and natural scenery, to inspire younger teens. Experts remark that limiting the usage of Douyin is an active measure which is of great benefit to minors (未成年人). The decision will push other Internet platforms with short videos to consider setting similar limits. Self-management and voluntary change of the platforms can make them more socially responsible. Douyin had at least 490 million users in November 2020, according to a media research firm. The Chinese government has already started pressuring tech companies to control the large amount of time minors spend on their services. In June, China changed the Minor Protection Law, which requires Internet service providers —including social media apps—to “set up corresponding (相关的) functions such as time management, content restriction and consumption limits for minors.” Last month, China prevented online gamers under the age of 18 from playing on weekdays and limited their play to just three hours most weekends. A series of measures have been taken to further ensure the safety of businesses focused on the next generation, from a heavy hit on after-school classes to rules for online gaming and videos. 1.What will the company of Douyin do with its teenage mode? A. Limit the time for children to use Douyin. B. Encourage parents to use their real names. C. Allow children to use Douyin after 10 p. m. D. Attract more children to watch online videos. 2.Which opinion will the experts agree with probably? A. Limiting usage of Douyin is of little significance. B. The measures won’t have effects on other platforms. C. The self-management of the Internet platforms is enough. D. The Internet platforms should take more responsibilities. 3.What can we infer about tech companies from paragraph 4? A. They wanted to take the place of Douyin. B. Their business should follow the new law. C. They refused to set up corresponding function. D. Their influence was discovered by media research firms. 4.What’s the main purpose of the government’s measures? A. To encourage online games. B. To protect the next generation. C. To develop advanced technology. D. To reduce the kids’ learning pressure.

Driven by passion, innovation, and a desire for independence, they are starting their own businesses fresh out of university or even before graduation. Li Ming, a 22-year-old graduate from Hunan University, is one such example. Instead of applying for a traditional job, he launched a startup that develops eco-friendly packaging solutions. “I saw the problem of plastic pollution and wanted to be part of the solution,” Li said. His company now works with several local restaurants and ecommerce shops, providing them with biodegradable materials. However, the journey is not smooth. Young entrepreneurs often face challenges such as a lack of experience, limited funding, and intense market competition. To support them, the government and various organizations have launched startup incubators (孵化器) and funding programs. These initiatives offer mentoring, office space, and sometimes financial aid to help young ideas grow into successful enterprises. Despite the difficulties, the spirit of youth entrepreneurship is vital for economic growth. It encourages innovation, creates job opportunities, and brings fresh ideas to the market. 1.What is the main reason for Li Ming to start his business? A. To follow his university’s advice. B.

He specializes in a language that is thousands of years old, the Dakota language, spoken by the Dakota people. “The Dakota language is ‘the most important aspect’ of Dakota culture. Without it, our Dakota culture would no longer exist.” Peters claimed. “I was lucky to grow up around many first-language Dakota speakers. But now the elderly continually passed away and at the end of their lives, they just wanted to know their families would continue to have the language. One of the problems our people have is finding ways to get at-length and ongoing exposure (接触) to the language.” Aside from instructing at the college level, Peters uses social media to share videos that connect humor, culture, and basic-level conversation to help teach Dakota. In his free time, he visits Dakota elders. He also started an online group of youth to share the knowledge of the language in a safe and supportive space. Akiša Peters wants to tell the youth that if they want to learn their own language, sit with their elders and learn from them. Endless vocabulary sheets could discourage them from learning. Standards created by non-speakers could also do that. “Within the next decade, I believe my colleagues, other Dakota-learning relatives and I will have children and start a new generation of Dakota. I also hope my brothers and sisters will take the path we laid out for them and continue to learn and speak Dakota. On my reservation there are numerous young people working on the comeback of the language. I’m hopeful because I’m definitely not alone.” Akiša Peters told Teen Vogue. 1.Why does Akiša Peters teach the Dakota language? A. To enrich his experience. B. To record its written form. C. To prevent it dying out. D. To make it known globally. 2.What can we say about Akiša Peters according to paragraph 3? A. Learned. B. Creative. C. Stressful. D. Expert. 3.What does Akiša Peters expect the young people to do? A. Deal with vocabulary sheets. B. Keep to the given standards. C. Communicate with their elders. D. Learn from their teachers. 4.Which section of a website is the text probably taken from? A. Culture. B. Business. C. Fashion. D. Research. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
