These small decorations hang from backpacks and swing as people walk. They help young people show who they are and create a new way of emotional connection. There are all kinds of these bag charms. Some are soft, plush toys, while others get ideas from traditional Chinese culture or museum pieces. For example, Xi’an Momo Dolls and Sanxingdui’s Bronze Mask series reimagine traditional elements (元素) into new forms. These “China-chic” designs turn bag charms into cultural bridges between the past and present. These charms offer more than just a decorative touch; they play a key role in breaking the ice among strangers. A shared charm can help people connect with just a smile. As the Chinese New Year came near, Vicky, who lives in Nanjing, bought clothes not just for her family, but for her charms. “I match charms to my mood and clothes,” she explains. “Sometimes they feel like emotional codes — shared understanding brings quick connections at once.” The charms have become popular because of the new and better ways of making them in places like Guangdong. Dongguan, known as the “designer toy capital”, has thousands of factories using smart technology to create new designs quickly. Today, these charms are reshaping the international image of “Made in China” by telling stories based on local creativity. These small items are building emotional ties with customers around the world and showing special Eastern beauty. A Grade-10 student from Nanjing shared her thoughts. “Every time I see the same charm on a stranger’s backpack, it feels like discovering a tiny bridge linking two unknown hearts.” Dr Zhang, a teacher from Guangdong University of Finance & Economics, also put forward his view: “If fashionable small goods rush into teenagers’ daily life endlessly, will the nice glow of such lovely accessories (配饰) finally change into meaningless desire?” 9．What can we learn about Sanxingdui Bronze Mask bag charms? A．They are real ancient museum works. B．They mainly spread culture inside museums. C．They are expensive gifts for museum visitors. D．They carry ancient cultural elements in new forms. 10．What does the writer want to tell us by saying “Sometimes they feel like emotional codes”? A．Bag charms hold hidden symbols. B．Teens leave messages on their charms. C．People buy clothes just for charms. D．The same charm can quickly connect people. 11．What helps charms gain worldwide popularity? A．Popular Chinese New Year shopping. B．New technology and local creativity. C．Ancient museum collections’ long history. D．Varieties of soft and lovely plush toys. 12．What is Dr Zhang’s opinion towards bag charms? A．Positive. B．Supportive. C．Worried. D．Curious. B When Coach said he was looking for a parent volunteer, I told my dad the team needed his help. He was so excited that he ran to warm up with the other players. Before I could explain to him that Coach actually wanted him to prepare halftime snacks, the referee (裁判) blew her whistle. We all crowded around Coach to find out what positions he wanted us to play. When he asked us what playing soccer was all about, my dad shouted, “Winning!” “Dad,” I whispered, “playing soccer isn’t all about winning.” “It isn’t?” he asked in surprise. “No,” I said. “It’s all about having fun.” “Got it!” he said. But I don’t think he got it. He waved to the parents and watched planes fly by. During the rest, I told him what he did wasn’t helping the team. “You need to listen to Coach, Dad,” I said. “You need to get your head in the game!” “Got it!” he said. But I don’t think he got it, either, because he started acting like he was the only one on the field instead of playing his own position. And when the other team scored a goal, he got angry as if our goalkeeper had let the ball in on purpose. “You’re not being a good sport, Dad!” I shouted. “How can I be a good sport if we’re not winning?” he asked. “I don’t know what we’re going to do with him,” I whispered to Coach. Coach said my dad had energy and enthusiasm. “If we’re patient and keep showing him what it means to be a team player, I’m sure he’ll understand it,” he said. I agreed to keep working with my dad. And I’m glad I did because you know what? Coach was right! 13．What does the phrase “get your head in the game” mean? A．Take the lead in the game. B．Pay all your attention to the game. C．Play the game with your wisdom. D．Hit the ball into the net with your head. 14．Which of the following can best describe Dad? A．Active but helpless. B．Creative but unconfident. C．Energetic but impatient. D．Humorous but unfriendly. 15．What would Dad probably do during the second half? A．He would help the team win at last by himself. B．He would impress others with his excellent skills. C．He would act like he was the only player on the field. D．He would cheer others up even if they missed the ball. 16．What is the best title of the passage? A．A Soccer Competition B．My Soccer Coach C．My Soccer Experience D．A Parent Volunteer C ①Gossip is the information passed from one person to another about other people’s lives. You may think gossip is bad. Even dictionary entries suggest that it is often unkind or untrue. However, this common idea is unreasonable. ②Firstly, a study by Robbins and Karan in 2019 shows that gossip is common but much of it is just people sharing information. For their study, 467 people’s conversations were recorded. Robbins and Karan found that, on average, these people gossiped for 52 minutes a day, with three quarters of the time spent communicating non-evaluative (非评价性的) information. Only about 14 percent of the gossip was considered malicious, a much smaller percentage than the common idea suggests, although to be fair, that was double the percentage of positive (积极的) gossip. ③Scientists consider gossip to be an important reason why our ancestors (祖先) were able to stay alive. It helped spread important news, but more importantly, it provided information about who was trustworthy and who might not work well with others in a group. It allowed humans to build small communities with those who could be trusted, ensuring a greater chance of living. Today, it seems that not much has changed. Gossip still allows us to form relationships and find out who we can work with best. Gossip also explains the principles (行为准则) of our society. When we hear someone criticize (批评) a person’s behaviour, it is clear that such behaviour is unacceptable and should not be copied. ④Of course, these days, our world is changing the nature of gossip. Our networks are now larger, and some gossip can spread like wildfire. Our obsession (痴迷) with gossip about well-known people may seem unimportant to some, but it serves to bring people closer. Problems come up when gossip includes untrue information. This kind of gossip can destroy people’s lives. ⑤So scientists say that it’s important to share information that is unlikely to hurt others. If we fail to do this, people will see us as someone who can’t be trusted and may even avoid us. Similarly, gossiping to improve one’s own place in society is unacceptable. It’s best to share information that may act as a warning to others or encourage them to behave better. It’s these things that normally push people together rather than make them turn away from each other. 17．What does the word “malicious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Unimportant. B．Harmful. C．Meaningful. D．Interesting. 18．What can we learn from the passage? A．We shouldn’t spend too much time gossiping. B．Gossiping to move up in society should be accepted. C．Gossip helps people build relationships today as well as in the past. D．In the past, people who liked gossiping were considered untrustworthy. 19．The following sentence would best be placed at the end of ________. That’s not to say we should pay attention to everything we hear, but it gives us direction. A．Paragraph 1 B．Paragraph 2 C．Paragraph 3 D．Paragraph 4 20．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To discuss the influence of gossiping. B．To explain the reason why gossip is common. C．To remind people of the problems of gossiping. D．To guide people to be careful when gossiping. 二、完形填空 （本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） 先通读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后在每小题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 In recent years, Chinese local cultural elements have been stepping onto the world stage.

For example, some clothing brands use patterns from the Forbidden City’s murals on T-shirts and dresses. These products are not only popular in China but also sell well in foreign countries like the US and France. To help more people know about Chinese culture, many cultural exhibitions are held overseas. During these exhibitions, visitors can watch craftsmen make jade carvings or paint Chinese New Year pictures. They can also take part in hands-on activities, like learning to write Chinese calligraphy. These experiences let foreigners 22 feel the beauty of Chinese culture, instead of just reading about it in books. Social media also plays an important role in spreading Chinese cultural elements. Short videos about Chinese tea ceremonies or Kung Fu often 23 millions of views on foreign platforms. Many foreign netizens leave comments saying they want to visit China and learn more about its culture. Some even start to learn Chinese because of these interesting videos. However, spreading Chinese culture to the world also faces some 24 . One challenge is that cultural differences may make it hard for foreigners to understand some elements.

They need to be presented in more creative ways. Despite these challenges, more and more Chinese cultural elements are being accepted by the world. This not only helps people around the globe learn about China’s long history and rich culture but also builds a bridge of friendship between China and other countries. 26 we keep working hard to spread Chinese culture in proper ways, it will surely have a brighter future on the world stage.

These displays 28 foreign athletes and audiences deeply and made them fall in love with Chinese culture. Now, many schools in China are also teaching students about traditional culture. Students learn to make pottery or sing Peking Opera, which helps them develop a love for their own culture. When these students grow up, they may become messengers of Chinese culture, helping to 29 it to more parts of the world. It’s true that spreading Chinese cultural elements is a long journey. But 30 every small effort we make, we can make Chinese culture more known and loved globally. This is not only a pride for Chinese people but also a contribution to the diversity of world culture. 21．A．connect B．separate C．forget D．avoid 22．A．hardly B．truly C．nearly D．suddenly 23．A．return B．refuse C．require D．receive 24．A．chances B．advantages C．challenges D．successes 25．A．boring B．creative C．difficult D．simple 26．A．If B．Unless C．Though D．Because 27．A．doubt B．miss C．feel D．question 28．A．disappointed B．impressed C．confused D．worried 29．A．change B．hide C．stop D．spread 30．A．through B．without C．against D．beside 第Ⅱ卷（主观题 共50分） 三、选词填空（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） 阅读短文，用方框中所给单词填空，使短文通顺、意思完整。每空限填一词，每词限用一次。 serve, port, nation, coffee, location, seafood, official, open-minded, spicy, hotel, This is a wonderful coastal 31 .

One of the most famous 41 (example) of this is the setting up of the Shuyuan. Like today’s universities, the Shuyuan were places of learning and research. They encouraged open discussions and provided education 42 everyone. 43 earliest Shuyuan began in the Tang Dynasty. They developed from two types of places: private study rooms 44 official libraries. By the Song Dynasty, private Shuyuan had become the center of education. Among the four most famous Shuyuan—Yuelu, Bailudong, Yingtian, and Songyang—Yuelu Shuyuan was especially known for 45 (it) long history and lasting influence. No one perhaps had a 46 (great) influence on the Shuyuan than Zhu Xi (1130—1200). This Song Dynasty philosopher (哲学家) and educator 47 (believe) education should focus on knowledge and values. At Bailudong Shuyuan, he set clear rules to guide students’ behavior. These rules 48 (become) important standards for schools across China and even influenced those in neighboring countries. Though their traditional form is no longer around, that doesn’t mean they have 49 (complete) disappeared. Modern educators, such as Zhang Boling, Cai Yuanpei, and Mei Yiqi were deeply 50 (encourage) by the teaching values of the Shuyuan. Their work helped shape China’s modern education system, which still reflects the values of the Shuyuan today. 五、阅读表达（本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题。 For the first time in history, a Chinese illustrator (插画家) has won the Hans Christian Andersen Award (HCA)—widely regarded as the “Nobel Prize” for children’s literature. Her name is Cai Gao, who is lovingly known in China as “Picture Book Grandma”. Cai Gao was born in 1946 in Changsha, Hunan province. She grew up in a warm and caring environment. Her family encouraged her interest in art from an early age. They would make regular trips to the theatre, and afterwards young Cai Gao painted the scenes she remembered. Her grandmother also had a strong influence on her. She loved singing nursery rhymes and telling stories to the family. Cai Gao once said, “My earliest memories are of a world full of stories. That is why I believe good storytelling is so important for children. A good story should bring both enjoyment and knowledge.” As a student, she often drew illustrations for her school magazine. She later taught in a village for nearly twelve years. During this period, Cai Gao began improving and creating for books and magazines. Cai creates classical picture books based on Chinese folklore (民俗); her well-known works include Bao’er (The Fox Spirit) and several collections of folk art. Her illustrations are influenced by Chinese ink painting, folk art, and soft colours. In her work, one can clearly sense the quality, artistry and emotional (情感的) depth she brings to each piece. The way she sees the world is beautiful. The HCA is the highest international recognition awarded to authors and illustrators of children’s books. Upon winning the award, Cai Gao said: “This honor belongs to all my peers who witnessed and nurtured (滋养) Chinese picture books’ early development.” 51．Who influenced Cai Gao from an early age? 52．According to Cai Gao, what makes a good story? 53．How long was Cai Gao’s teaching career? 54．What artistic traditions and styles influence Cai Gao’s illustrations? 55．Why does Cai Gao’s winning the HCA matter to Chinese picture books? 6、 写作 （本大题共20分） 56．假如你是李华，你的美国朋友Mike想要拜访亚洲的某个国家，请你根据下面提示，以“My favourite Asian country”为题，向他介绍一个你最喜欢的亚洲国家。 1.

Today, these charms are reshaping the international image of ‘Made in China’ by telling stories based on local creativity.”可知，新的智能制造技术和本土创意助力包挂在全球受到欢迎。 12．观点态度题。根据文章第5段“If fashionable small goods rush into teenagers’ daily life endlessly, will the nice glow of such lovely accessories finally change into meaningless desire?”可知，张博士担忧这类时尚小物无节制地涌入青少年生活后，其美好价值最终会演变成无意义的欲望，可见他对这类配饰的过度流行持担忧态度。 B When Coach said he was looking for a parent volunteer, I told my dad the team needed his help. He was so excited that he ran to warm up with the other players. Before I could explain to him that Coach actually wanted him to prepare halftime snacks, the referee (裁判) blew her whistle. We all crowded around Coach to find out what positions he wanted us to play. When he asked us what playing soccer was all about, my dad shouted, “Winning!” “Dad,” I whispered, “playing soccer isn’t all about winning.” “It isn’t?” he asked in surprise. “No,” I said. “It’s all about having fun.” “Got it!” he said. But I don’t think he got it. He waved to the parents and watched planes fly by. During the rest, I told him what he did wasn’t helping the team. “You need to listen to Coach, Dad,” I said. “You need to get your head in the game!” “Got it!” he said. But I don’t think he got it, either, because he started acting like he was the only one on the field instead of playing his own position. And when the other team scored a goal, he got angry as if our goalkeeper had let the ball in on purpose. “You’re not being a good sport, Dad!” I shouted. “How can I be a good sport if we’re not winning?” he asked. “I don’t know what we’re going to do with him,” I whispered to Coach. Coach said my dad had energy and enthusiasm. “If we’re patient and keep showing him what it means to be a team player, I’m sure he’ll understand it,” he said. I agreed to keep working with my dad. And I’m glad I did because you know what? Coach was right! 13．What does the phrase “get your head in the game” mean? A．Take the lead in the game. B．Pay all your attention to the game. C．Play the game with your wisdom. D．Hit the ball into the net with your head. 14．Which of the following can best describe Dad? A．Active but helpless. B．Creative but unconfident. C．Energetic but impatient. D．Humorous but unfriendly. 15．What would Dad probably do during the second half? A．He would help the team win at last by himself. B．He would impress others with his excellent skills. C．He would act like he was the only player on the field. D．He would cheer others up even if they missed the ball. 16．What is the best title of the passage? A．A Soccer Competition B．My Soccer Coach C．My Soccer Experience D．A Parent Volunteer 【答案】13．B 14．C 15．D 16．D 【导语】本文是记叙文，讲述了“我”的爸爸以家长志愿者的身份加入足球队，起初只看重输赢、不懂团队合作，在“我”和教练的引导下逐渐理解足球的意义与团队精神的故事。 【详解】13．词句猜测题。根据第七段“He waved to the parents and watched planes fly by. During the rest, I told him what he did wasn’t helping the team. ‘You need to listen to Coach, Dad,’ I said. ‘You need to get your head in the game!’”可知，爸爸在比赛时分心做和比赛无关的事，“我”提醒他要专注于比赛，因此该短语的含义是将全部注意力放在比赛上。 14．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Coach said my dad had energy and enthusiasm.”以及前文对方进球后爸爸立刻生气、不遵守自身位置只顾自己表现的内容可知，爸爸精力充沛，但缺乏耐心、性格急躁。 15．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“How can I be a good sport if we’re not winning?”和最后两段“If we’re patient and keep showing him what it means to be a team player… I agreed to keep working with my dad. And I’m glad I did because you know what? Coach was right!”可知，爸爸最终理解了团队精神与体育精神，因此下半场即使队友没接住球，他也会鼓励队友。 16．最佳标题题。全文围绕爸爸这位家长志愿者加入足球队的经历展开，从起初误解足球的意义到逐渐懂得团队合作，因此“一位家长志愿者”最适合做本文的标题。 C ①Gossip is the information passed from one person to another about other people’s lives. You may think gossip is bad. Even dictionary entries suggest that it is often unkind or untrue. However, this common idea is unreasonable. ②Firstly, a study by Robbins and Karan in 2019 shows that gossip is common but much of it is just people sharing information. For their study, 467 people’s conversations were recorded. Robbins and Karan found that, on average, these people gossiped for 52 minutes a day, with three quarters of the time spent communicating non-evaluative (非评价性的) information. Only about 14 percent of the gossip was considered malicious, a much smaller percentage than the common idea suggests, although to be fair, that was double the percentage of positive (积极的) gossip. ③Scientists consider gossip to be an important reason why our ancestors (祖先) were able to stay alive. It helped spread important news, but more importantly, it provided information about who was trustworthy and who might not work well with others in a group. It allowed humans to build small communities with those who could be trusted, ensuring a greater chance of living. Today, it seems that not much has changed. Gossip still allows us to form relationships and find out who we can work with best. Gossip also explains the principles (行为准则) of our society. When we hear someone criticize (批评) a person’s behaviour, it is clear that such behaviour is unacceptable and should not be copied. ④Of course, these days, our world is changing the nature of gossip. Our networks are now larger, and some gossip can spread like wildfire. Our obsession (痴迷) with gossip about well-known people may seem unimportant to some, but it serves to bring people closer. Problems come up when gossip includes untrue information. This kind of gossip can destroy people’s lives. ⑤So scientists say that it’s important to share information that is unlikely to hurt others. If we fail to do this, people will see us as someone who can’t be trusted and may even avoid us. Similarly, gossiping to improve one’s own place in society is unacceptable. It’s best to share information that may act as a warning to others or encourage them to behave better. It’s these things that normally push people together rather than make them turn away from each other. 17．What does the word “malicious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Unimportant. B．Harmful. C．Meaningful. D．Interesting. 18．What can we learn from the passage? A．We shouldn’t spend too much time gossiping. B．Gossiping to move up in society should be accepted. C．Gossip helps people build relationships today as well as in the past. D．In the past, people who liked gossiping were considered untrustworthy. 19．The following sentence would best be placed at the end of ________. That’s not to say we should pay attention to everything we hear, but it gives us direction. A．Paragraph 1 B．Paragraph 2 C．Paragraph 3 D．Paragraph 4 20．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To discuss the influence of gossiping. B．To explain the reason why gossip is common. C．To remind people of the problems of gossiping. D．To guide people to be careful when gossiping. 【答案】17．B 18．C 19．C 20．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍流言的作用，流言不全是负面的，它在过去和当下都有社交价值，但虚假、恶意的流言会带来伤害，我们分享信息时应当慎重。 【详解】17．词句猜测题。根据第二段“Only about 14 percent of the gossip was considered malicious, a much smaller percentage than the common idea suggests, although to be fair, that was double the percentage of positive gossip.”可知，malicious和后文positive形成对比，表达负面有害的含义。 18．细节理解题。根据第三段“Scientists consider gossip to be an important reason why our ancestors were able to stay alive...Today, it seems that not much has changed. Gossip still allows us to form relationships and find out who we can work with best.”可知，流言从古至今都可以帮助人们建立人际关系。 19．推理判断题。根据第三段“Gossip also explains the principles of our society.”可知，本段讲流言帮我们了解社会准则，句子“That’s not to say we should pay attention to everything we hear, but it gives us direction.”承接准则这一内容，放在第三段末尾合适。 20．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章先纠正大家觉得流言全是坏事的固有看法，介绍流言的积极作用，又点明虚假流言的危害，告诉人们流言有好有坏，要谨慎对待流言，讨论流言带来的影响。 二、完形填空 （本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） 先通读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后在每小题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 In recent years, Chinese local cultural elements have been stepping onto the world stage.

However, spreading Chinese culture to the world also faces some 24 . One challenge is that cultural differences may make it hard for foreigners to understand some elements.

They need to be presented in more creative ways. Despite these challenges, more and more Chinese cultural elements are being accepted by the world. This not only helps people around the globe learn about China’s long history and rich culture but also builds a bridge of friendship between China and other countries. 26 we keep working hard to spread Chinese culture in proper ways, it will surely have a brighter future on the world stage.

The opening ceremony even included a performance showing the evolution of Chinese paper-cutting. These displays 28 foreign athletes and audiences deeply and made them fall in love with Chinese culture. Now, many schools in China are also teaching students about traditional culture. Students learn to make pottery or sing Peking Opera, which helps them develop a love for their own culture. When these students grow up, they may become messengers of Chinese culture, helping to 29 it to more parts of the world. It’s true that spreading Chinese cultural elements is a long journey. But 30 every small effort we make, we can make Chinese culture more known and loved globally. This is not only a pride for Chinese people but also a contribution to the diversity of world culture. 21．A．connect B．separate C．forget D．avoid 22．A．hardly B．truly C．nearly D．suddenly 23．A．return B．refuse C．require D．receive 24．A．chances B．advantages C．challenges D．successes 25．A．boring B．creative C．difficult D．simple 26．A．If B．Unless C．Though D．Because 27．A．doubt B．miss C．feel D．question 28．A．disappointed B．impressed C．confused D．worried 29．A．change B．hide C．stop D．spread 30．A．through B．without C．against D．beside 【答案】 21．A 22．B 23．D 24．C 25．B 26．A 27．C 28．B 29．D 30．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了中国文化元素在世界舞台上的传播和影响，包括年轻设计师将中国文化符号与现代风格结合、海外文化展览、社交媒体的作用、面临的挑战以及大型活动如亚运会上的展示等，强调了传播中国文化的重要性和意义。 【详解】21．句意：许多年轻的设计师现在将中国文化符号与现代风格相结合，创作出兼具传统与时尚的作品。 connect连接；separate分离；forget忘记；avoid避免。根据“Many young designers are now mixing Chinese cultural symbols with modern styles”可知，是将传统与时尚连接起来，故选A。 22．句意：这些经历让外国人真正感受到中国文化的美丽，而不仅仅是在书中读到它。 hardly几乎不；truly真正地；nearly几乎；suddenly突然。根据“feel the beauty of Chinese culture, instead of just reading about it in books”可知，是真正地感受到中国文化的美丽，故选B。 23．句意：关于中国茶道或功夫的短视频在外国平台上经常获得数百万的观看量。 return返回；refuse拒绝；require要求；receive收到。根据“millions of views on foreign platforms”可知，是收到数百万的观看量，故选D。 24．句意：然而，向世界传播中国文化也面临一些挑战。 chances机会；advantages优势；challenges挑战；successes成功。根据下文“One challenge is that cultural differences may make it hard for foreigners to understand some elements”可知，此处说的是面临的挑战，故选C。 25．句意：另一个挑战是，一些文化作品不够有创意，无法吸引外国观众。 boring无聊的；creative有创造力的；difficult困难的；simple简单的。根据“enough to attract foreign audiences”可知，此处说的是一些文化作品不够有创意，故选B。 26．句意：如果我们继续努力以适当的方式传播中国文化，它一定会在世界舞台上拥有更光明的未来。 If如果；Unless除非；Though虽然；Because因为。根据“we keep working hard to spread Chinese culture in proper ways, it will surely have a brighter future on the world stage”可知，前后句是条件关系，应用if引导条件状语从句，故选A。 27．句意：来自不同国家的更多人将感受到中国文化的魅力。 doubt怀疑；miss错过；feel感受到；question问题。根据“the charm of Chinese culture”可知，是感受到中国文化的魅力，故选C。 28．句意：这些展示给外国运动员和观众留下了深刻的印象，让他们爱上了中国文化。 disappointed失望的；impressed印象深刻的；confused困惑的；worried担心的。根据“foreign athletes and audiences deeply and made them fall in love with Chinese culture”可知，是给外国运动员和观众留下了深刻的印象，故选B。 29．句意：当这些学生长大后，他们可能会成为中国文化的使者，帮助将中国文化传播到世界更多的地方。 change改变；hide隐藏；stop停止；spread传播。根据“When these students grow up, they may become messengers of Chinese culture”可知，是帮助将中国文化传播到世界更多的地方，故选D。 30．句意：但是通过我们做出的每一个小小的努力，我们可以让中国文化在全球范围内更加知名和受欢迎。 through通过；without没有；against反对；beside在旁边。根据“every small effort we make, we can make Chinese culture more known and loved globally”可知，是通过我们做出的每一个小小的努力，故选A。 第Ⅱ卷（主观题 共50分） 三、选词填空（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） 阅读短文，用方框中所给单词填空，使短文通顺、意思完整。每空限填一词，每词限用一次。 serve, port, nation, coffee, location, seafood, official, open-minded, spicy, hotel, This is a wonderful coastal 31 .

Her name is Cai Gao, who is lovingly known in China as “Picture Book Grandma”. Cai Gao was born in 1946 in Changsha, Hunan province. She grew up in a warm and caring environment. Her family encouraged her interest in art from an early age. They would make regular trips to the theatre, and afterwards young Cai Gao painted the scenes she remembered. Her grandmother also had a strong influence on her. She loved singing nursery rhymes and telling stories to the family. Cai Gao once said, “My earliest memories are of a world full of stories. That is why I believe good storytelling is so important for children. A good story should bring both enjoyment and knowledge.” As a student, she often drew illustrations for her school magazine. She later taught in a village for nearly twelve years. During this period, Cai Gao began improving and creating for books and magazines. Cai creates classical picture books based on Chinese folklore (民俗); her well-known works include Bao’er (The Fox Spirit) and several collections of folk art. Her illustrations are influenced by Chinese ink painting, folk art, and soft colours. In her work, one can clearly sense the quality, artistry and emotional (情感的) depth she brings to each piece. The way she sees the world is beautiful. The HCA is the highest international recognition awarded to authors and illustrators of children’s books. Upon winning the award, Cai Gao said: “This honor belongs to all my peers who witnessed and nurtured (滋养) Chinese picture books’ early development.” 51．Who influenced Cai Gao from an early age? 52．According to Cai Gao, what makes a good story? 53．How long was Cai Gao’s teaching career? 54．What artistic traditions and styles influence Cai Gao’s illustrations? 55．Why does Cai Gao’s winning the HCA matter to Chinese picture books? 【答案】51．Her family./Her family, especially her grandmother. 52．Bringing (both) enjoyment and knowledge. 53．Nearly 12 years. 54．Chinese ink painting, folk art, and soft colours. 55．Because it brings Chinese picture books to the world. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了中国插画家蔡皋获得国际安徒生奖的经历，介绍了她的成长背景、创作理念以及她的作品风格和获奖意义。 【详解】51．第二段直接提到了蔡皋从小受到家人和祖母的影响，指出“Her family encouraged her interest in art from an early age”以及“Her grandmother also had a strong influence on her”。因此答案是原文直接信息。 52．第三段直接说明了蔡皋对好故事的看法，指出“A good story should bring both enjoyment and knowledge”。因此答案是原文直接信息。 53．第四段直接给出了蔡皋的教学生涯时长，指出“She later taught in a village nearly twelve years”。因此答案是原文直接信息。 54．第五段直接说明了影响蔡皋插画的艺术传统和风格，指出“Her illustrations are influenced by Chinese ink painting, folk art, and soft colours”。因此答案是原文直接信息。 55．此答案是对全文信息的概括总结。第一段指出“For the first time in history, a Chinese illustrator has won the Hans Christian Andersen Award”，最后一段蔡皋本人也表示“This honor belongs to all my peers who witnessed and nurtured Chinese picture books’ early development.”，说明这是中国插画师首次获此国际大奖，让中国绘本走向世界，得到了国际认可。答案可概括为“Because it brings Chinese picture books to the world”。 6、 写作 （本大题共20分） 56．假如你是李华，你的美国朋友Mike想要拜访亚洲的某个国家，请你根据下面提示，以“My favourite Asian country”为题，向他介绍一个你最喜欢的亚洲国家。 1.

These small decorations hang from backpacks and swing as people walk. They help young people show who they are and create a new way of emotional connection. There are all kinds of these bag charms. Some are soft, plush toys, while others get ideas from traditional Chinese culture or museum pieces. For example, Xi’an Momo Dolls and Sanxingdui’s Bronze Mask series reimagine traditional elements (元素) into new forms. These “China-chic” designs turn bag charms into cultural bridges between the past and present. These charms offer more than just a decorative touch; they play a key role in breaking the ice among strangers. A shared charm can help people connect with just a smile. As the Chinese New Year came near, Vicky, who lives in Nanjing, bought clothes not just for her family, but for her charms. “I match charms to my mood and clothes,” she explains. “Sometimes they feel like emotional codes — shared understanding brings quick connections at once.” The charms have become popular because of the new and better ways of making them in places like Guangdong. Dongguan, known as the “designer toy capital”, has thousands of factories using smart technology to create new designs quickly. Today, these charms are reshaping the international image of “Made in China” by telling stories based on local creativity. These small items are building emotional ties with customers around the world and showing special Eastern beauty. A Grade-10 student from Nanjing shared her thoughts. “Every time I see the same charm on a stranger’s backpack, it feels like discovering a tiny bridge linking two unknown hearts.” Dr Zhang, a teacher from Guangdong University of Finance & Economics, also put forward his view: “If fashionable small goods rush into teenagers’ daily life endlessly, will the nice glow of such lovely accessories (配饰) finally change into meaningless desire?” 9．What can we learn about Sanxingdui Bronze Mask bag charms?

B When Coach said he was looking for a parent volunteer, I told my dad the team needed his help. He was so excited that he ran to warm up with the other players. Before I could explain to him that Coach actually wanted him to prepare halftime snacks, the referee (裁判) blew her whistle. We all crowded around Coach to find out what positions he wanted us to play. When he asked us what playing soccer was all about, my dad shouted, “Winning!” “Dad,” I whispered, “playing soccer isn’t all about winning.” “It isn’t?” he asked in surprise. “No,” I said. “It’s all about having fun.” “Got it!” he said. But I don’t think he got it. He waved to the parents and watched planes fly by. During the rest, I told him what he did wasn’t helping the team. “You need to listen to Coach, Dad,” I said. “You need to get your head in the game!” “Got it!” he said. But I don’t think he got it, either, because he started acting like he was the only one on the field instead of playing his own position. And when the other team scored a goal, he got angry as if our goalkeeper had let the ball in on purpose. “You’re not being a good sport, Dad!” I shouted. “How can I be a good sport if we’re not winning?” he asked. “I don’t know what we’re going to do with him,” I whispered to Coach. Coach said my dad had energy and enthusiasm. “If we’re patient and keep showing him what it means to be a team player, I’m sure he’ll understand it,” he said. I agreed to keep working with my dad. And I’m glad I did because you know what? Coach was right! 13．What does the phrase “get your head in the game” mean? A．Take the lead in the game. B．Pay all your attention to the game.

A．A Soccer Competition B．My Soccer Coach C．My Soccer Experience D．A Parent Volunteer C ①Gossip is the information passed from one person to another about other people’s lives. You may think gossip is bad. Even dictionary entries suggest that it is often unkind or untrue. However, this common idea is unreasonable. ②Firstly, a study by Robbins and Karan in 2019 shows that gossip is common but much of it is just people sharing information. For their study, 467 people’s conversations were recorded. Robbins and Karan found that, on average, these people gossiped for 52 minutes a day, with three quarters of the time spent communicating non-evaluative (非评价性的) information. Only about 14 percent of the gossip was considered malicious, a much smaller percentage than the common idea suggests, although to be fair, that was double the percentage of positive (积极的) gossip. ③Scientists consider gossip to be an important reason why our ancestors (祖先) were able to stay alive. It helped spread important news, but more importantly, it provided information about who was trustworthy and who might not work well with others in a group. It allowed humans to build small communities with those who could be trusted, ensuring a greater chance of living. Today, it seems that not much has changed. Gossip still allows us to form relationships and find out who we can work with best. Gossip also explains the principles (行为准则) of our society. When we hear someone criticize (批评) a person’s behaviour, it is clear that such behaviour is unacceptable and should not be copied. ④Of course, these days, our world is changing the nature of gossip. Our networks are now larger, and some gossip can spread like wildfire. Our obsession (痴迷) with gossip about well-known people may seem unimportant to some, but it serves to bring people closer. Problems come up when gossip includes untrue information. This kind of gossip can destroy people’s lives. ⑤So scientists say that it’s important to share information that is unlikely to hurt others. If we fail to do this, people will see us as someone who can’t be trusted and may even avoid us. Similarly, gossiping to improve one’s own place in society is unacceptable. It’s best to share information that may act as a warning to others or encourage them to behave better. It’s these things that normally push people together rather than make them turn away from each other. 17．What does the word “malicious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Unimportant. B．Harmful. C．Meaningful. D．Interesting. 18．What can we learn from the passage? A．We shouldn’t spend too much time gossiping. B．Gossiping to move up in society should be accepted. C．Gossip helps people build relationships today as well as in the past. D．In the past, people who liked gossiping were considered untrustworthy. 19．The following sentence would best be placed at the end of ________. That’s not to say we should pay attention to everything we hear, but it gives us direction. A．Paragraph 1 B．Paragraph 2 C．Paragraph 3 D．Paragraph 4 20．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To discuss the influence of gossiping. B．To explain the reason why gossip is common. C．To remind people of the problems of gossiping. D．To guide people to be careful when gossiping. 二、完形填空 （本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） 先通读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后在每小题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 In recent years, Chinese local cultural elements have been stepping onto the world stage.

One of the most famous 41 (example) of this is the setting up of the Shuyuan. Like today’s universities, the Shuyuan were places of learning and research. They encouraged open discussions and provided education 42 everyone. 43 earliest Shuyuan began in the Tang Dynasty. They developed from two types of places: private study rooms 44 official libraries. By the Song Dynasty, private Shuyuan had become the center of education. Among the four most famous Shuyuan—Yuelu, Bailudong, Yingtian, and Songyang—Yuelu Shuyuan was especially known for 45 (it) long history and lasting influence. No one perhaps had a 46 (great) influence on the Shuyuan than Zhu Xi (1130—1200). This Song Dynasty philosopher (哲学家) and educator 47 (believe) education should focus on knowledge and values. At Bailudong Shuyuan, he set clear rules to guide students’ behavior. These rules 48 (become) important standards for schools across China and even influenced those in neighboring countries.

Her name is Cai Gao, who is lovingly known in China as “Picture Book Grandma”. Cai Gao was born in 1946 in Changsha, Hunan province. She grew up in a warm and caring environment. Her family encouraged her interest in art from an early age. They would make regular trips to the theatre, and afterwards young Cai Gao painted the scenes she remembered. Her grandmother also had a strong influence on her. She loved singing nursery rhymes and telling stories to the family. Cai Gao once said, “My earliest memories are of a world full of stories. That is why I believe good storytelling is so important for children. A good story should bring both enjoyment and knowledge.” As a student, she often drew illustrations for her school magazine. She later taught in a village for nearly twelve years. During this period, Cai Gao began improving and creating for books and magazines. Cai creates classical picture books based on Chinese folklore (民俗); her well-known works include Bao’er (The Fox Spirit) and several collections of folk art. Her illustrations are influenced by Chinese ink painting, folk art, and soft colours. In her work, one can clearly sense the quality, artistry and emotional (情感的) depth she brings to each piece. The way she sees the world is beautiful. The HCA is the highest international recognition awarded to authors and illustrators of children’s books. Upon winning the award, Cai Gao said: “This honor belongs to all my peers who witnessed and nurtured (滋养) Chinese picture books’ early development.” 51．Who influenced Cai Gao from an early age? 52．According to Cai Gao, what makes a good story? 53．How long was Cai Gao’s teaching career? 54．What artistic traditions and styles influence Cai Gao’s illustrations? 55．Why does Cai Gao’s winning the HCA matter to Chinese picture books? 6、 写作 （本大题共20分） 56．假如你是李华，你的美国朋友Mike想要拜访亚洲的某个国家，请你根据下面提示，以“My favourite Asian country”为题，向他介绍一个你最喜欢的亚洲国家。 1.
