He returned to his hometown, the Ancient Hu Kaiwen Ink Factory in Anhui. This factory was built in the Qing Dynasty and has a history of hundreds of years. Zhou spent long years in the quiet workshops. He kept practising again and again until he finally mastered the complex (复杂的) skills of making Huizhou ink sticks. However, Zhou understood that this ancient craft should not be kept only behind closed doors. In 2014, he set up a team of artisans (工匠). They hoped to record more than one hundred steps of ink‑making. At the same time, he opened traditional workshops so that visitors could come and experience this special art. The project was a great success. It attracted thousands of visitors every year and encouraged more local workers to pick up this old craft. In 2019, Zhou tried live‑streaming (网络直播). While shaping ink in front of the camera, he explained the history and skills to people online. To win more young people's hearts, he created new patterns, including Chinese zodiac signs (生肖) and cartoon characters. His efforts worked well. Last year, their online sales reached 20 million yuan. Zhou’s creative spirit has brought new life to his hometown. The ink factory now has over 600 workers. By mixing traditional craftsmanship (工艺；匠心) with new ideas, Zhou not only protected this valuable cultural heritage, but also inspired young people to return. Once slowly forgotten, this ancient ink art is now shining with fresh energy. 5. What did Zhou Jian do after graduating from university in 2007? A. He went to work in a big city. B.

He learned ink‑making skills quickly and easily. B. He believed the ancient craft should be shared with more people. C. He gave up traditional skills to create new patterns. D. He only cared about making money from online sales. 8. What is the best title for the passage? A. The History of Huizhou Ink Sticks B. Online Sales of Traditional Crafts C. How to Make Ink Sticks in Anhui D. A Young Man Brings New Life to Ancient Ink Art Passage C Leo was a teenager and had a simple dream: to buy a birthday gift that cost fifty dollars. His old method of saving — coins in a piggy bank — was too slow. He needed a better system. He found a free financial (金融的) website for teenagers. The first lesson was clear: "Track every dollar." Leo downloaded a budget app, a digital organizer for his money. He recorded his weekly spending and any coin he earned from walking his neighbour’s dog. He made a rule: no unnecessary spending. One day, his friends invited him for pizza. Leo wanted to go but remembered his goal. "I’ll pack a sandwich," he said. His friends laughed at him, but he didn’t make an exception. Week by week, his savings grew. He was certainly surprised to see how small choices added up. He finally bought the gift. But the real treasure, Leo realised, wasn't just the gift. It was the powerful habit of saving he had built. He learned that managing money wisely meant planning for what you truly want, one dollar at a time. The website and the app were just tools; the true value was the self‑control he discovered within himself. 9. What was the important rule Leo learned from the financial website? A. Buy things only on sale. B. Never spend money on food. C. Always use a piggy bank. D. Track every dollar. 10. In Paragraph 2, the underlined part "didn't make an exception " means that Leo ____.

According to the story, what did Leo discover was the "real treasure" in the end? A. The birthday gift. B. The budget app. C. The importance of making good choices. D. The habit of saving and self‑control. 12. What's the best title for the text? A. Leo’s Difficult Choices B. The Piggy Bank Upgrade (升级) C. Leo’s Big Dreams D. The Problem with Piggy Bank Passage D If you’re thinking about what job you want in the future, it's likely you've heard this one before: "Just do what you enjoy!" In today's world, making money isn't easy no matter what you do, so why not do something you truly enjoy? That may sound like a smart plan: You move somewhere with a low cost of living, and even if the thing you love doesn't make much money, you can still live well. But in reality, things aren't that simple. Passion (激情) alone can't always carry you through. Doing the job you love can bring you great feelings when life is easy and you are in a cheerful state. However, things can go wrong when you feel tired, feel lonely or get sick. Passion alone may not be enough. At those times, you may begin to ask yourself "Is this really the right life for me?" Thinking about the job opportunities you passed by, you might even wonder if giving up that better job you could have had was a smart choice. I completely understand how that feels. As a writer, I truly enjoy my work. But there are days — like today — when it's cold outside, I haven't slept well, and all I want is to stay in bed. Still, even when I don't feel like it, I still sit down and write. Why? Because passion isn't the only thing that drives me. I also have a sense of purpose. I know that my writing helps people, and that keeps me going — even when passion fades. Actually, I have been through it many times — when I sit at my desk, staring at the empty screen, feeling lost or tired. Writing doesn't always feel fun. But because I have a purpose, I get through it every time. Over time, I've learned that passion makes you excited at first, but purpose helps you keep going when things get hard. If you know your work helps others, even in a small way, it feels more meaningful. To find your purpose, you need to try different things, do different jobs, talk to new people, explore new places, and see what makes you feel happy and useful. You don't need to know all the answers right now, but you do need to keep learning and keep exploring. One day, you may find the place where your passion and your purpose come together. And when that happens, I hope you build a life and a job that you truly enjoy. 13. You will most probably enjoy your work in the long run if you ____. A. move to a place with an affordable cost of living B. choose a job that makes you feel excited every day C. enjoy your work while knowing why it matters to you D. follow your heart without caring about others' opinions 14. What does the word "fades" in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Grows slowly. B. Becomes weaker. C. Moves quickly. D. Stays the same. 15. What do you know about passion and purpose from the passage? A. Purpose usually comes before passion in jobs. B. Purpose is the key for people to lead a rich life. C. People make a smart plan with purpose and passion. D. People need purpose more than passion at hard times. 16. What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage? A. To show how people can find their purpose in jobs. B. To explain why passion alone is not enough at work. C. To compare different ways of choosing jobs in modern times. D. To introduce the challenge of making good job choices in life. 第二节（还原短文） 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 As teenagers, many of us get pocket money from our parents, red packets during festivals, and even money from small part‑time jobs. 17.____ Most middle school students spend their money carelessly on snacks, toys or online games without clear plans. However, learning to manage money well is an important life skill that every teenager should learn at middle school. Firstly, the most basic step of managing money is to record all the money you get and spend. 18.____ With clear records, you can easily find out where your money goes and cut down unnecessary spending. Many students waste lots of money on useless things just because they never keep track of their daily spending. Secondly, it is necessary to divide your money into different parts properly. Money experts advise teenagers to separate their pocket money into three groups: daily spending, short‑term savings and money for charity. 19.____ For example, you can set aside 60 percent for daily needs like stationery and drinks, 30 percent saved for future goals such as buying books, and 10 percent given away to help people in need. 20.____ Many teenagers love short‑term fun and spend money without thinking. They seldom think about their long‑term needs and possible risks. In fact, saying no to impulsive (冲动的) buying is the key to good money management. Before paying for something you want, ask yourself whether you really need it or just want it for a short time. Finally, learning some simple knowledge about money is helpful for your long‑term growth. You can read easy articles about money or watch educational videos made for teenagers. You will learn to use money in a wiser way. Good money habits you form as a teenager will benefit you for a lifetime. A. It helps you have a clear idea of managing your own money. B. But few students have formed good money‑managing habits. C. Keeping a daily account is a simple and effective way. D. Making strict money‑saving plans is another good way to avoid waste. E. Controlling impulsive spending is another important rule. 二、完形填空（共 10 小题，每小题 1 分；满分 10 分） 阅读短文，理解其大意，从 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Lei Yu was born in 1963 in Wanzhou, Chongqing.
