Chen comes from Nizhuhe Village located at the border of Yunnan and Guizhou Provinces. For years, Chen and her classmates walked on muddy roads to go to school high on the top of the cliffs. However, this challenging journey has now changed into a wonderful tour. They first take a 6-minute scenic bus and then take a lift that climbs 268 metres. Next, they take a cable car ride that climbs over 200 metres. After a 1-kilometre walk, they arrive at the school in less than 30 minutes. The change began with the introduction of eco-cultural tourism in 2017. The project helped build a cliffside lift in 2018 and a cable car in 2022. They were made free for the villagers there. The “cloud school bus” not only safely sends the village children to school but also has attracted many tourists to the area. In 2024, about 300,000 visitors came, bringing in a profit of nearly 20 million yuan. This has also improved villagers’ lives, with many starting businesses like farmstays, coffee shops and guesthouses. Additionally, some villagers have returned to their hometowns to contribute to this growth. Cai Xiong is one of them who led many amazing projects like the cliffside lift. “This tourism project not only means to help the villagers succeed, but also to serve as a “ladder to the clouds” for the children. I hope they will climb this ladder, gain experience and knowledge, and finally return with the skills to make their hometown even better,” he said. 21. Which word best describes the kids’ old way to school in Nizhuhe Village? A. Dangerous. B. Interesting. C. Easy. D. Boring. 22. What is the correct order of the students’ journey to school at present? A. B. C. D. 23. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain how education has improved in Yunnan and Guizhou. B. To describe the dangers of walking to school in mountainous areas. C. To show how a tourism project changed villagers’ lives and education. D. To introduce Cai Xiong’s contributions to building the lift and the cable car. 24. What is Cai Xiong’s wish according to the passage? A. Children can take the “cloud school bus” to leave their hometown. B. Villagers could build more farmstays, coffee shops and guesthouses. C. Students can get experience and introduce more tourism projects one day. D. Children will return to their hometown and make it a better place in the future. 25. In which part of a newspaper can we read the passage? A. Business. B. Nature. C. Life. D. Science. C Victor Hugo once said, “Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.” Up to now, nobody has been able to create laughter like Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977). He brightened the lives of millions through two world wars and the hard years in between. Not that Charlie’s own life was easy. He was born to a poor family. Charlie learnt to sing and dance as soon as he could speak and walk. Every member of the family performed to help make money. By his teens, Charlie had, through his. humor, become one of the most popular child actors in England. Later, Chaplin began making silent films, where the story was told only through body language and movements. Usually, Chaplin appeared in these films as the Little Tramp, a poor man with a moustache (胡须), large trousers, worn-out shoes, and a round hat. He walked around stiffly (僵硬地) with a walking stick. Even though the Little Tramp was considered a failure in life, he always tried to turn his sadness into joy like Chaplin. In the film The Kid (1921), the Little Tramp brings up an abandoned (遗弃的) child as his own. While the film has many funny moments, it also has times of great sadness. As Chaplin said, it was “a picture with a smile, and perhaps a tear”. Similarly, in The Gold Rush (1925), with nothing to eat, the Little Tramp treats one boot (靴子) as something delicious and makes you believe that this is one of the best meals he has ever tasted. Chaplin once said, “My pain may be the reason for somebody’s laugh. But my laugh must never be the reason for somebody’s pain.” He is loved and remembered as a great actor who encouraged people during dark times. 26. Why are Hugo’s words mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To explain the “humor”. B. To introduce the topic (话题). C. To make readers think deeply. D. To show the influence of laughter. 27. What made Chaplin learn to perform at such an early age? A. He was popular enough. B. He was talented in performing. C. He had to make money for his family. D. It was common for everyone at that time. 28. What do we know about the Little Tramp? A. He was a poor man in real life. B. He had similar experiences with Chaplin. C. He always told jokes to make people laugh. D. He showed his humor through his body language. 29. What do The Kid and The Gold Rush have in common? A. They show a picture with a smile and a tear. B. Their main characters have nothing to eat. C. They are rich in funny conversations. D. Their main characters have an unhappy childhood. 30. What did Chaplin want to express in the last paragraph? A. He was in pain. B. People laughed at him C. People encouraged him. D. He just brought joy to people. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从文后所列选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺、连贯（选项中有一项多余）。 Changes happen around us every day, but have you ever thought about what causes them.
