I. Reading Comprehension(15小题,每小题2分,共30分)
(A)
Ayi is a 22-year-old girl from Kashgar, Xinjiang. She became well-known in a new season of the TV programme, which tells people how young people build their careers after leaving school. The programme followed 12 students who studied Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). As the youngest one, Ayi at first was unnoticed. By the end of the season, however, she surprised all with her great progress.
Ayi was not from a family of doctors. Her earliest interest in traditional medicine was awakened in her old town. In that place, people believed mutton soup cured illness faster than seeing doctors in hospital. When her grandmother died of illness, she realized good doctors are needed in this place. That was when she decided to become one to serve the people there.
In 2018, thanks to an education program for Xinjiang middle school students, Ayi had a chance to study in a Shenzhen high school. Three years later, she was accepted by Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine.
However, the road to becoming a TCM doctor was never easy. For her, It’s especially difficult to understand ancient Chinese medical books. “Terms (术语), like yin and yang, were totally a now way of thinking. So I was always half a step behind my classmates,” Ayi said. To catch up, she put in more time and developed a study method of her own. Along with her schoolwork, Ayi got practical experience by taking part in more than 13 volunteer activities.
Ayi’s greatest dream is to return to Xinjiang and use her TCM knowledge to serve local people, “Back in Kashgar. I know many people don’t look for medical care, so I believe it’s deeply meaningful to use TCM, which is simple, cheap and works well,” Ayi said.
1. Why did Ayi become famous in the TV programme?
A. Because she made great progress.
B. Because she learned TCM by herself.
C. Because she is the youngest one.
D. Because she got best scores in the school.

A. The dream of her family. B. The medical needs in her hometown.

A. Honest. B. Friendly. C. Hard-working. D. Humorous.

Many teenagers receive pocket money from their parents every month. However, a recent survey shows that about 65% of teenagers spend their pocket money quickly and don’t know where the money goes. Learning to manage money is an important life skill for young people.
Here are some tips from Mr. Liu, a financial teacher at a middle school in Shanghai.
Tip 1: Make a budget (预算)
Before you spend your pocket money, write down how much you get and what you need to buy. Divide your money into different parts. For example, if you get 200 yuan a month, you can spend 100 yuan on daily needs like pens and notebooks, save 60 yuan, and use 40 yuan for fun.
Tip 2: Save for your dreams
If you want to buy something expensive, don’t ask your parents for extra money. Instead, save money for it little by little. A 14-year-old student named Li Mei wanted a new bike. She saved 50 yuan every month and finally bought it after eight months. “It felt great to buy it with my own savings,” she said.
Tip 3: Think before you buy
When you see something on sale, don’t buy it just because it’s cheaper, Ask yourself, “Do I really need it?” Many teenagers waste money on things they never use. “I used to buy clothes online just because they were on sale,” said Wang Hao, a 15-year-old student. “Now I only buy what I really need.”
Tip 4: Money is not everything
Mr. Liu also tells students that money is important but not the most important thing in life, Health, friendship, and family love cannot be bought with money. “If you use your money to help others, you will feel much happier,” he says.
8. According to the survey, what problem do many teenagers have?
A. They don’t get any pocket money.
B. They don’t know how to manage their money.
C. They spend too much money on books.
D. They save all their pocket money.
9. What does Mr. Liu suggest teenagers do before spending money?
A. Borrow money from friends. B. Ask parents for more money.
C. Make a budget. D. Buy things on sale.
10. What does Wang Hao do now when shopping?
A. He buys everything on sale.
B. He only buys what he really needs.
C. He never buys anything online.
D. He asks his parents to pay for everything.
11. What is Mr. Liu’s opinion about money?
A. Money is the most important thing in life.
B. You should save every penny and never spend.
C. Money can buy health and friendship.
D. Using money to help others can make us feel happy.
(D)
The Miser (守财奴) and His Gold
The Miser and His Gold is a famous story from Aesop. The main character is a rich but greedy miser who loves money more than anything else.
The story takes place in a small village. The miser sells all his land and belongings to buy a pot of gold. He does not want to spend any of it, so he digs a hole by an old wall and hides the gold there. Every day, he goes to the wall to look at his gold and feels happy. One day, a workman sees him and finds the secret. He digs up the gold and steals it. When the miser comes back, he finds the hole empty and cries sadly. A neighbour hears him and says, “Don’t cry. You never used the gold anyway. You could have put a stone there instead, and it would have been the same to you.”
I think this story is very meaningful. It tells us that money is only useful when we use it, If we only save and never enjoy or use it, it is no better than a stone. The miser’s love for gold makes him lose the joy of life. This story teaches us not to be greedy, but to use money wisely to make our lives better.
12. Why does the miser go to the wall every day?
A. To clean the gold. B. To feel happy.
C. To meet the workmen. D. To count his land.
13. What does the writer mean by saying that unused money “is no better than a stone”?
A. Gold is actually less valuable than a stone in the market.
B. Saving money is a bad habit that leads to poverty.
C. Money loses its true value if it is not used or enjoyed.
D. A stone is a better hiding place for treasure than a wall.
14. What is the main purpose of this text?
A. To retell the story of The Miser and His Gold in detail.
B. To praise the workman who stole the gold from the wall.
C. To share a review and learn a lesson from a story.
D. To explain how to hide wealth safely in a small village.
15. Which of the following best describes the miser’s ending?
A. He lost his gold because he was careless about hiding it.
B. He was betrayed (背叛) by his greedy neighbor.
C. He lost the joy of life for a useless thing.
D. He was forced (强迫) to sell all his land and belongings.

Have you ever looked closely at the paper money from different countries? You will see more than numbers and colours.

These days, many people use phones or cards as a way to pay. 20 But paper money still has its value — not only in money, but in meaning. You can hold it, look at it, and learn from it. It can be a tiny museum in your pocket.

V. Reading Expression(5小题,每小题2分,共10分)
Passing on the Magic of Strings
When I was a little kid, I was deeply attracted by the amazing stories told through puppets. My grandpa and my mum are both top Minnan puppet performers, so I naturally grew up with this traditional art. However, when I became a teenager, my feelings changed. Many of my classmates thought puppets were old-fashioned. Influenced by them, I felt embarrassed about my family’s art and refused to take part in any performances unless I was asked to.
Everything changed one afternoon. My mum showed me a video of a performance by my grandpa’s teacher. The beautiful puppets and their exciting movements completely amazed me. I suddenly remembered how much I truly loved this art. I posted my doubts online: “Well, should I continue?” To my surprise, my post was flooded with warm answers. Many people expressed their love for the art and encouraged me to hold on. A truth hit me — it was my responsibility to keep the art alive because the love for puppets was in my blood.
I realized that the art would be popular again only if young people became interested in it. So I decided to hold a puppet show at my school. When I finished, I saw something surprising: the students were completely lost in the show. Their eyes were glued to the puppets. After a warm cheer, they came to ask where they could see more. The positive reply from the young viewers gave me more courage. Since then, my puppet shows have drawn more attention both from home and abroad. With more and more people joining in, I believe the magic of this traditional art will last forever!
