It needs one clue (线索) giver and at least three guessers. Before starting, players toss (扔) a coin to decide who will be the clue giver. What a clue Giver Must Do 1. Pick a name that the group knows. 2. Code (给……编码) each letter of the name in mind. *snaps for vowel letters (a, e, i, o, u) Vowel codes: A=1 snap E=2 snaps I=3 snaps O=4 snaps U=5 snaps *a random (随机的) sentence for consonant letters (b, c, d, f, …) (e.g. If the letter is b, think of a sentence that starts with letter b.) 3. Start by saying “It’s the name of the game.” Example Mary is the clue giver and “Raymond” is the answer. Here is what she does: ① Say “It is the name of the game”. ② Say “Reach out to me if you need help” to show R. ③ Snap once for A. ④ Say “Yellow is my favourite colour” to show Y. ⑤ Say “Mom is in the kitchen” to show M. ⑥ Snap four times for O. ⑦ Say “Never give up” to show N. ⑧ ______ 31. According to the text, how many players are needed at least for Snap? A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 4. 32. What might Mary say in ⑧ “______”? A. Let’s try something easy. B. Stay away from your mobile phone. C. Try to manage your time better. D. Do your best every day. 33. If the clue giver snaps 7 times in total, what should the name be? A. Simon. B. Jenny. C. Eric. D. Anne. B Did you notice how nature sometimes repeats itself? Something that repeats is called a pattern. There are many patterns for you to study and learn. Look around you. Patterns are everywhere. You may see bright and colorful patterns if you look at fish in the sea. In a bee’s honeycomb, the six-sided shape is repeated many times. Some leaves always have five points on them. Listening carefully, you will find a noisy world. Dogs bark, the rain falls and the wind blows. Are these patterns? Of course! Sounds that repeat are patterns. A cricket (蟋蟀) uses its wings to make repeated chirping (啁啾叫) sounds. Do you know that a cricket’s chirp changes with the temperature? The hotter it is, the more chirps a cricket will make. Try to find out how living things grow around you. Seeds grow into plants. A butterfly begins life as an egg. Each living thing has its own pattern as it grows. When a human baby is born, it is small. With time, the baby learns to lift its head and learns to roll over. Finally, the baby learns to stand up and walk. This kind of pattern is called a pattern of development. If something happens over and over, it, too, forms a pattern. For example, you get up at 7:00 every morning. You get dressed and then eat breakfast at 7:30 a.m. If you repeat this many times, it becomes a pattern. Having a music class every Monday is a pattern. So is going to school five days a week and having Saturday and Sunday off. It seems as if the world is full of patterns. Just think — without patterns, the world would be much harder to study! 34. How will a cricket change its chirp when the temperature gets higher? A. It will stop chirping at once. B. It will chirp more often. C. It will make quieter chirps. D. It will change the sound of its chirps. 35. Which of the following belongs to “a pattern of development”? A. A bee makes six-sided honeycombs. B. Fish have colorful patterns on their bodies. C. A baby learns to walk. D. We go to school on weekdays. 36. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Patterns make it easier for us to study the world. B. We cannot find any patterns without hard work. C. All patterns in the world are easy to find. D. People can create patterns only at school. 37. What is the main idea of the whole passage? A. How living things grow and develop. B. How to make patterns in our daily life. C. Patterns can only be found in nature. D. Different kinds of patterns in the world. C Chinese wooden arch (拱形) bridges with covered walkways, known as “Mu Gong Lang Qiao,” have a history of over 900 years. More than just river crossings, they symbolize harmony between people and nature. Listed as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage (联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产名录), they are widely recognized for their unique value worldwide. These bridges are mostly in mountain areas of Fujian and Zhejiang. With many rivers and mountains there, local people created the bridges to cross them. The special structure of the bridges is amazing: it uses no nails (钉子) at all. Skilled workers join wood pieces firmly with traditional methods like “sunmao”. They make the bridges strong enough to last for hundreds of years even in bad weather. ▲ Besides protecting people from wind and rain, they are great public places for villagers to talk, rest, or hold small festival activities for safety and good luck. For local communities, these bridges are the warm heart of daily life and cultural value. However, this ancient skill once faced the risk of disappearing. City development changed local lifestyles. Typhoons and other natural disasters damaged some old bridges. Luckily, years of continuous efforts improved the situation. Local governments took action, old workers taught their skills to young people, and students joined in some related activities. Today, these bridges grow with new energy, attracting visitors from all over the world. From connecting small villages to sharing world cultures, the bridges are a living part of Chinese heritage, telling us traditional skills can keep shining in the modern world. 38. Which picture is the Chinese wooden arch bridge? A. B. C. D. 39. Which sentence can be put in the blank ▲ ? A. It is difficult to build covered walkways. B. Villagers spend much time decorating the walkways. C. The bridges are strong enough for bad weather. D. The covered walkways are more useful than imagined. 40. What is the writer’s purpose of Paragraph 4? A. To show the danger of losing the skill and protection efforts. B. To introduce how typhoons form in Fujian and Zhejiang. C. To advise us to build more wooden arch bridges. D. To compare wooden bridges with stone bridges. 41. What is the writer’s attitude towards Chinese wooden arch bridges? A. Worried and sad. B. Doubtful and uncertain. C. Proud and positive. D. Modest and shameful. D Recently, a short video of dance teacher Zhao Tiechun teaching Huagudeng, a kind of folk dance from Anhui, has become popular online. Its special moves, “Dodge Step” (闪身步) and “Bear Shaking” (狗熊哆嗦毛), quickly went popular because they look funny and lovely. Soon thousands of people began to copy them online. Some people made real-life videos, while others created new pictures with AI. Even kids and animal videos joined this dance trend. Most people felt happy and relaxed after watching these videos. For a long time, people believed online trends were only for fun and quickly forgotten. However, Huagudeng is Anhui’s intangible cultural heritage. The online trend lets people learn about this ancient art easily. At first, people only enjoyed the funny moves. Later, more visitors started to learn about its culture. They turned short funny moves into full, wonderful heritage. From short clips to full shows of the heritage, this online spread changed greatly. It helps people move from “just watching” to “copying” and finally “truly learning about” the heritage. In this way, the Internet shows its great value for culture. Still, spreading traditional culture in fun ways has some risks. If we only care about fun, people may only see jokes and miss the true meaning behind Huagudeng. We must keep its true culture value and show enough respect. We can make it close to common people, but we cannot change or break its true cultural spirit. Only with respect can fun online sharing work well with culture inheritance. Traditional culture should not stay closed to new things. In the Internet age, old culture does not need to stay away from online popular styles. Huagudeng’s online success is a good example. If we keep its true cultural heart, new light-hearted ways can bring traditional culture closer to young people. It breaks the old idea that heritage is boring or hard to understand. All in all, this popular dance trend tells us: we can use new online ways to give old traditional culture new life. 42. How does the writer introduce the topic of the passage? A. By telling a story of a dance teacher. B. By listing different kinds of folk dances. C. By describing a popular online phenomenon. D. By comparing folk dance with modern dance. 43. Put the following sentences in the right order according to the passage. ① More visitors learned about the culture of Huagudeng. ② Zhao Tiechun’s short video became popular online. ③ People copied the funny dance moves and shared them. ④ People got to know the true meaning behind Huagudeng. A. ②③①④ B. ②①③④ C. ③②①④ D. ③①②④ 44. What does the underlined phrase “light-hearted” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Serious and formal. B. Relaxing and cheerful. C. Difficult and boring. D. Strange and fearful. 45. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage? A. To introduce the special dance moves of Huagudeng. B. To show us a proper way to spread traditional culture. C. To ask young people to learn to dance Huagudeng. D. To encourage people to share folk dances online. 四、信息还原（共5小题；每小题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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 At 5:30 every morning, before the sun rises over Huaping, a thin woman walks through a dark school yard, a flashlight in her hand. She knocks on every door and calls out, “Girls, time to get up and read!” 46 The girls call her “Mama Zhang”. Across China, people know her as Zhang Guimei. Zhang is the head teacher of Huaping Girls’ High School. She came to Huaping in 1996 as a young teacher. While visiting students’ homes, she was shocked to find that many girls had left school and married at fifteen or sixteen. 47 So she made up her mind to build a free school for them.

Zhang herself is in great pain. She has over 20 kinds of illnesses, and her hands are often covered with plasters (膏药). 49 “As long as I have one breath left, I will stand on the platform,” she says. So far, nearly 2,000 girls have left the mountains for universities. Some have become doctors, others are soldiers or teachers. 50 “Ms Zhang lit a lamp in my life,” one of them said. “Now I want to light lamps for others.” In 2021, Zhang received the July 1 Medal, one of the highest honours (荣誉) in China.

This is reverse thinking (逆向思维), which lets us look at problems from the 60 side. When we are 61 , it is easy for us to think in a fixed way. Try this simple exercise. We won’t be 62 with our parent-child relationship if we refuse to understand each other. List bad choices: stop 63 with them or speak rudely. Then reverse these ideas: we should talk politely and try to understand each other. All in all, reverse thinking helps us become more creative problem-solvers. 六、短文填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 认真阅读下面短文，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 On July 23, Deng Yu received the Fields (菲尔兹) Medal that is known 64 the “Nobel Prize in math”.

Though he is always busy with work, this 56-year-old man from Jiangsu has never lost his love for reading and writing. Reading was his favorite hobby. After a long day of work, he loved reading at a secondhand bookstall. “Reading is the best way to calm one’s heart,” he said. “It is like dew (露水) falling at night, washing off the stress of the day and giving me strength for another day’s work.” As he read more books, Wang began to write his own pieces. Over the years, he worked many jobs. However, he never put down his pen. He wrote during short work breaks, on used cardboard boxes and even on the clothes he was wearing. In 2018, Wang began delivering food. As a man “in a hurry”, he usually records lines as voice notes on his phone and organizes them after work. The lines record emotional moments from his busy job, his deep love for his family and his thoughts about life. After winning the Lu Xun Literature Prize, Wang said he would keep working as a food delivery worker. “Life and work are the ground beneath me, and writing is the river flowing upon it.” he told Xinhua Daily. 74.

I wondered whether I would ever catch up with my classmates, and I even wanted to give up. However, things changed after I read a book about Stephen Hawking. Although he could hardly move, he never gave up. Encouraged by his story, I asked my teacher for advice and made a study plan. Whenever I felt tired, I reminded myself why I had started. As soon as I followed the plan, my English began to improve. Now I am satisfied with my progress. This experience has taught me that difficulties can help us grow if we face them bravely. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
