What is the reading material? A. A letter. B. A diary. C. A report. D. A survey. 32. What does the writer think about the Cooking Club in the end? A. Interesting. B. Challenging. C. Peaceful. D. Powerful. 33. What made the writer's cookies popular? A. Adding more chocolate. B. Getting help from other students. C. Following the teacher's steps. D. Changing the shape in a clever way. (B) Have you ever wondered why we say maidongxi instead of mainanbei, shangcesuo instead of xiacesuo, and yijianxiangzuo instead of yijianxiangyou? Many Chinese words have directions in them, and there is lots of history and culture hidden behind. East or West When going shopping, Chinese people say maidongxi instead of mainanbei. A theory says that in the Tang Dynasty, there were two popular markets in Chang'an, the national capital at that time. One was called the East Market, and the other was called the West Market. When shopping, people usually went to the East Market first, and then went to the West Market. As time went by, people started to describe shopping as maidongxi. Up or down We use shangcesuo to mean "go to the bathroom" and xiachufang to mean "go to the kitchen". Why? In ancient times, houses were laid out(布局) in a certain way. The gate of the house would face south with the bathroom in the northeastern part of the house and the kitchen in the southeastern part. On maps, north is usually at the top while south is at the bottom. In Chinese, we talk about the north as shang and the south as xia. So people would say they're going up to the bathroom and down to the kitchen. Ancient Chinese not only used shang and xia to refer to directions but also social positions. For example, people used huangshang to refer to the emperor and dianxia to refer to princess who had a lower position than the emperor. Left or right Most people today are right-handed. They feel uncomfortable if they try to use their left hand to write or use chopsticks. This was true in old times as well. So in ancient China, "left" means something different, such as in yijianxiangzuo. When shaking hands, it's important to know which hand to use. In most cultures, the right hand is generally used for a handshake. For example, in some countries, such as India and Nepal, the left hand is thought to be unclean. However, if you are in a culture where the left hand is used, you'd better do as the locals do. 34. Why does the writer mention shangcesuo and yijianxiangzuo at the beginning? A. To share a story. B. To solve a mystery. C. To give an example. D. To start the topic. 35. Which picture shows the layout of houses in ancient China according to the passage? 36. Which Chinese phrase shows the cultural meaning mentioned in the passage? A. 左顾右盼 B. 七上八下 C. 日落西山 D. 旁门左道 37. Which of the following may be the best title for this passage? A. Changes in the use of words for directions in Chinese. B. Differences between Chinese and English for directions. C. History and culture behind Chinese words for directions. D. Social position hidden behind Chinese words for directions. (C) Holmes rubbed his hands together excitedly. His eyes shone and he leaned forward in his chair. "Tell us your story," he said. Miss Morstan began her story and we listened. "My father," she began, "was a captain in the army. When I was very young, he was sent to India. My mother was dead and I had no other relatives in England. So, while my father was away, I was sent to school." "When I was seventeen, I received a letter from my father. He said that he was leaving India and coming back to England. He gave me the address of a hotel in London. He asked me to meet him there." I was very happy and excited about seeing my dear father again. I went to London and arrived at the hotel. I asked for Captain Morstan, my father. But I was told by the hotel manager that my father was not there. He had gone out the night before and not returned. I waited all day and all night, but my father didn't come back to the hotel. Finally, I went to the police. They advertised for Captain Morstan in all the newspapers, but without success. I never saw my dear father again. ... "Four years after my father disappeared," continued Miss Morstan, "I saw an advertisement in the newspaper. The date was 4th May, 1882. To my surprise, the advertisement asked for the address of Miss Mary Morstan. I said that if I advertised my address, I would receive some very good news." "What did you do?" asked Holmes. I advertised my address in the same newspaper. The next day, I received a small cardboard box. Inside the box was a lovely pearl (珍珠). And I have received another five pearls since that day. They arrive every year on the same day. Look. She opened a flat box and showed us six beautiful pearls. "▲" asked Holmes. "Nothing at all," replied Miss Morstan. Then she continued, "But the strangest thing of all happened this morning. That is why I came to see you. This morning, I received a letter. Please read it." "Thank you," said Holmes. He took the letter and studied it carefully. 38. When did Miss Morstan come to see Holmes? A. In 1878. B. In 1882. C. In 1886. D. In 1887. 39. How did Miss Morstan feel after she got the letter that morning? A. Excited. B. Surprised. C. Mad. D. Upset. 40. Which question is the most suitable in the blank "▲" in the passage? A. Was there any letter with the pearls? B. Did you meet anyone after that? C. Did anyone know about this? D. Were these pearls your father's? 41. What is the correct order of the following sentences? a. Miss Morstan saw an advertisement. b. Miss Morstan came to see Holmes. c. Miss Morstan received a letter from her father. d. Miss Morstan received some pearls. e. Captain Morstan disappeared. A. c-e-a-d-b B. d-c-e-a-b C. b-c-a-d D. e-b-c-a-d (D) For centuries, southwest China has had a serious transport problem: rich resources and goods were far from the sea. They had to take longer and more expensive roads to reach world markets. On September 16, 2026, Pinglu Canal officially opened. It creates a direct waterway to the sea, connecting southwest China with the Beibu Gulf. In Guangxi, the 134.2-kilometer canal is a key project. It can carry 5,000-ton ships. By connecting the Xij River with Qinzhou Port, it makes the old shipping path through Guangzhou Port over 560 kilometers. People expect it to save about 5.2 billion yuan every year. It will greatly help the trade of goods such as minerals, coal, and building materials. Unlike projects built only for money, the Pinglu Canal values both construction and environmental protection. To protect wildlife, workers moved over 9,570 coastal trees and planted 275,000 young ones. They also built special paths for fish and a 240-meter bridge for wild animals to cross. These help restore the travel paths for animals. Over 98% of the dug-out earth is reused. Besides environmental benefits, the canal boosts local trade. As part of a land-sea trade route, it helps trade between China and ASEAN(东南亚国家联盟). It allows Chinese goods to reach Southeast Asia faster and ASEAN resources to enter China easily. Experts believe cargo(货物) will increase, reaching 150 million tons a year in the future. Like the Panama and Suez Canals, which changed global shipping, the Pinglu Canal has special local value. Unlike those canals connecting different oceans, it serves river-and-sea transport in one single area. Its full value will depend on working together with current ports, railways, and transport networks. 42. What can we know about the Pinglu Canal from Paragraph 2? A. It is built mainly to improve local ecological environment. B. It helps cut the shipping distance by more than 560 kilometres. C. Most of its total money is spent buying large ships. D. It directly links local mines with Southeast Asian markets. 43. Why do workers build paths for fish and the 240-metre wildlife overpass in this project? A. To meet local wild animals' travelling needs. B. To cut down the cost of the whole project. C. To reduce the project's influence on animals' moving routes. D. To make the canal fit for 5,000-ton ships. 44. Why does the writer talk about the Panama and Suez Canals? A. To show Pinglu Canal's special local value through comparison. B. To prove they are more valuable than Pinglu Canal in economy. C. To explain how world canals change global geography. D. To say regional canals will take the place of ocean canals. 45. Which of the following statements will the writer agree with? A. Pinglu Canal has fully used its economic value. B. The canal's cargo amount has reached 150 million tons already. C. We should stop all water projects only for making money. D. People take environmental steps when building the canal. 四、信息还原（共 5 小题，每题 1 分，满分 5 分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项有两项为多余选项。 Parent-child conflict is one of the most common teenage problems.

Excited, yet nervous, she carefully carried a pork steak (猪排) to Table 6. Her excitement quickly turned to anxiety (焦虑) when she saw Kassy, a popular girl from school, sitting there with her friends. Feeling shy and afraid, Judy ducked (弯下身) behind the front desk to avoid being seen. Though an excellent student, Judy often felt out of place among her rich classmates. She remembered how Kassy used to laugh at her and worried that others might do the same to her for working at a restaurant. When Judy's dad found her hiding, she didn't know what to say. He suggested that she should take a break. Turning back to the kitchen, Judy felt bad for letting her dad down. To her surprise, Mary, one of Kassy's friends, came over. She said that she knew how unkind Kassy could be. She also praised Judy for her hard work. This gave Judy the strength she needed. With confidence, Judy returned to the dining area and brought the bill to Kassy's table. When Kassy tried to make fun of her, Judy and Mary did a silly "crab dance" and laughed together. As she crossed the dining room, Judy realized she didn't feel embarrassed (尴尬的). Whether Kassy liked her family's restaurant or not, it didn't matter. As Judy returned to the front desk, she felt a warm sense of pride, knowing the restaurant was special to her, no matter what others thought. She understood that hard work and kindness were what really mattered. From then on, she started to enjoy her new role with confidence and pride. 74.
