Top Wonders of the World
　　From India to Rome， these sights will inspire your next historical vacation.
　　Taj Mahal
　　The Taj Mahal was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal.Constructed from 1632 to 1648， the property covers 42 acres， including its beautiful gardens.
　　Best time to go： Late spring and early summer in this part of India has often severe heat.Then come monsoons.November to February is your best chance for pleasant weather.The sunrises here are highly admired.

　　You’re never too young to start being charitable.It doesn’t have to be a grand gesture， just something as simple as a lemonade stand.
　　But sometimes even the smallest gestures can end up becoming a rather big deal.And one perfect example of this， is a neighbourhood lemonade stand in Peoria， Illinois， which really took off.
　　It started out when a group of neighbourhood kids in the Knolls neighbourhood got together in order to participate in a fundraiser to help raise money for the St.Jude Children’s Research Hospital.The children got busy selling lemonade and other treats all throughout the weekend， and their hard work paid off.In total， they were able to make more than $3，500 for the good cause.
　　But this charitable lemonade stand isn’t in its first year.In fact， it has been several years in the making， all because of one mom’s actions.Suzanne Miller has been participating in charity races for the hospital for years， and because of her actions， her kids wanted to join in her fundraising.Hence the lemonade stand was started.
　　As Miller shared with WMBD，“The first year we did it we raised $220， and we thought that was amazing.Each year， it got bigger and bigger.”
　　But it’s not just the profits that have increased over the years， so have the volunteers.This year， Miller’s kids were joined by her neighbour Leslie Rothan’s three kids in running the lemonade stand.
　　Miller posted to Facebook，“The Lemonade Stand for St.Jude that our neighbours hosted this weekend raised $3，515 and donated it to my run goal.I CANNOT find the words to tell you how I feel.It’s absolutely incredible to celebrate this way.”
　　According to WMBD， Leslie Rothan added， “As a parent， it really makes you filled with joy.It was their idea， obviously we wanted to support and encourage them to be as successful as possible， but it really helped them to realise what they were doing and how that money could really help save children.”
24.What does the author intend to show by giving the example of the kids？（　　）
A.Young kids can be better volunteers.
B.Charity should begin at a young age.
C.Small acts of kindness make a big difference.
D.A lemonade stand is a new choice for charity.
25.What led to the kids’ participating in fundraising？（　　）
A.Their friends’ proposal. B.Their teachers’ encouragement.
C.The influence from Suzanne Miller. D.The demand from the local hospital.
26.How did Suzanne Miller feel according to his Facebook post？（　　）
A.Moved and excited. B.Proud and satisfied.
C.Grateful and delighted. D.Surprised and confused.
27.Which is the most suitable title for the text？（　　）
A.Kids Start a Lemonade Stand to Raise for Charity
B.Mother Sells Lemonade Together with Her Kids
C.A Lemonade Stand Was Started by Some Kids
D.Selling Lemonade Is a New Way to Support Charity
C
　　The Laba Festival， also simply called “Laba”， comes on the eighth day of the twelfth month of the Chinese lunar year.It falls on 7 January this year.The festival has this name because the twelfth month is also called “la” month in Chinese while the number eight is pronounced “ba”.
　　Since it’s in the last month of the lunar year， the festival implies saying goodbye to the old and embracing the new， and is often regarded as a warm-up celebration for the upcoming Spring Festival.As an old saying goes， “After Laba， it’s the （Chinese） New Year.”
　　Laba Day is also Bodhi Day in the Buddhist tradition.It’s said that Shakyamuni Buddha， the founder of Buddhism， attained enlightenment （覺悟） on this day.Thus， the day is one of the grandest festivals for Buddhists.
　　One of the festival’s traditions is to offer sacrifices （貢品） to the ancestors and gods.In the agrarian societies of ancient times， this worship was a prayer for good luck and a bountiful harvest.
　　The most important custom during the Laba Festival is eating Laba congee.This dish is cooked with a mix of eight ingredients， as eight is a lucky number in Chinese culture.The tradition to have Laba congee on this day dates back more than a thousand years and is still a major part of Laba day in many places.The selection of ingredients for the congee may vary geographically.
　　Legend has it that， before being enlightened， the Buddha worked hard for many years and was very feeble.Thanks to the milk porridge offered by some shepherdesses， he recovered physical strength and later achieved enlightenment.
　　Therefore， nowadays， temples adhere to the tradition of offering congee to the public on this day to show appreciation for the kindhearted and to help the poor.Temples as well as restaurants cook and hand out Laba congee on the day of the festival to sanitation workers and senior people who live alone.Every year， people line up in temples since the early morning for the bowl of goodness.
28.What happened to Shakyamuni Buddha on Laba Day？（　　）
A.He was born. B.He passed away.
C.He created Buddhism. D.He reached a higher spiritual level.
29.What can we learn about the Laba Festival？（　　）
A.It falls on 18 January every year.
B.It was created by Shakyamuni Buddha.
C.The most important custom is offering sacrifices.
D.People make Laba congee differently from place to place.
30.What does the underlined word “feeble” in Paragraph 6 mean？（　　）
A.Weak. B.Upset.
C.Anxious. D.Delighted.
31.What is behind Laba congee according to the last paragraph？（　　）
A.The spirit of giving. B.The spirit of receiving.
C.The spirit of having fun. D.The spirit of working hard.
D
With the development of science and technology， we settled into a new routine of opening up laptops and tablets to see classmates’ faces and hear teachers’ lessons.I transitioned quickly to seeing my clinic patients via telehealth and managing my research lab over Zoom.Humans have never been so dependent on technology as we have been this past year.
“Screen time” was not a helpful concept this year.I heard parents reflecting on the media use： Did my kids feel more connected to someone else’s experience， or did they feel more divided from others？ Did I put down my device feeling more anxious and angry or feeling like life made more sense？ Did I feel like my family’s behaviour was being secretly tracked， or did I feel aware and in control？
When life is stressful， screens can be soothing （撫慰的）.When life is busy， screens can help us feel more in control and keep kids quiet.These are not new insights， but we’ve all experienced more of it this year as parents struggle with impossible role overload during a hard time.
Allowing technology to soothe us can distract from the family interactions that actually help build good relationships and make meaning out of stressful times.Now is our opportunity to figure out a balance between soothing away boredom and learning strategies to manage it in other ways.
As the pandemic wears on， this might be deciding where technology “lives” in your house， and where it “sleeps” overnight， so it doesn’t invade all of your downtime.It might mean seeing a doctor to work on strategies for you and your child to handle negative emotions and conflict.
With evidence that technology platforms are trying to identify our emotions for marketing purposes， it’s more important than ever to understand our emotional relationships with our devices.
As parents， it can be difficult to build these insights into technology when it is intentionally designed to not make us think and reflect.But as we emerge from this pandemic， I would love for parents to demand more helpful， honest design in the tech products we use.
32.Why does the author list some questions in Paragraph 2？（　　）
A.To doubt the effects of media use.
B.To show the benefits of screen time.
C.To question the value of technology.
D.To know the function of tech products.
33.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to？（　　）
A.Our opportunity. B.Technology.
C.A balance. D.Boredom.
34.What should we do according to the author？（　　）
A.Achieve a balance. B.Turn off our screens.
C.Design better products. D.Keep away from media.
35.Which of the following words best describes the author’s attitude towards technology？（　　）
A.Pessimistic. B.Favourable.
C.Unsatisfied. D.Ambiguous.
第二節（共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分）
閱讀下面短文，從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
Rats.They are not among nature’s most loved animals.36.（　　） They have been tested and retested for so many diseases and other issues — all for the purpose of human health and happiness.
Rats have other uses， as well.For example， they can be trained to find explosives buried underground.37.（　　） So， some people like rats.Some don’t.However， when talking about English expressions， “rat” phrases almost all have a negative meaning.
Calling someone a “rat” is a big insult （侮辱）.When we “rat on” someone， we tell others something they did in order to get them in trouble.If an object is “ratty”， it is in poor condition.And we can simply say “Rats！” if something bad happens.
Today， we will talk about another bad rat expression： rat race.38.（　　） It is not.A rat race is a purely human situation.
If you are in a rat race， you are in a daily work routine that is extremely competitive， tiring and never-ending.Day after day， you compete for more power and more wealth against others wanting the same thing.We can also use the term “rat race” to describe a person’s struggle to gain the basics of life.39.（　　） They are seemingly helpless against a way of life that is slowly killing them and their souls.
Some word historians say this expression comes from real rat races.These were sporting events held in the 1800s.People would bet money on the rats.40.（　　） Scientists often study rats to see how they will react in different conditions.
A.It’s a commonly used word.
B.This struggle is also out of their control.
C.However， rats help humans in many ways.
D.This may sound like a running contest between rats.
E.Despite all this， lots of people fear or even hate rats.
F.Some people think leaving or quitting a rat race is an easy choice.
G.Others say it comes from the custom of testing rats in laboratory experiments.

Sports Bring Us Together
　　Sports are more than competitions.
　　I used to be very shy and often felt lonely.Although I did well in all the academic subjects， I was afraid of physical education.Even kids in the neighbourhood would laugh at me.“Look at that girl，” they said.“Her feet don’t leave the ground when she runs！” Their words embarrassed me.At school， whenever the teacher organised some competitive games， no one in the class would choose me as their partner or team member.As a result， I often ended up looking at others enjoy their games.
　　Things would go on like that if not for a sports meet in my high school.By mistake， my name was put on the list of those who would compete in the women’s 1，500 meters race.By the time people found the mistake， it was too late to change.
　　My deskmate， Mary， was a natural athlete.She said to me， “I couldn’t run that race in your place， because I have signed up for three items already.” I nearly broke down.1，500 meters！ Running against the best runners in front of the whole school！ It would be the worst nightmare I’d ever have！
　　“You still have time to catch up because there is still one month before the sports meet，” Mary patted me on the shoulder，“That is cool！ You will run for our class！ And we will do training together.” Yes， this is not just for myself， but for my class.But still， 1，500 meters to me was like Mount Everest （珠穆朗瑪峰） to a beginning climber.I had no idea even how to start my preparation.
　　Mary invited me to join in their training.Every afternoon after class， several of us ran together.When the fear of being laughed at flooded over me， I saw others running right beside or stand by the tracks cheering for us.They gave me strengths.

（Text 1）
W：What time is it？ I wonder if the film has begun.
M：It’s five fifty. Let’s hurry. There’s ten minutes left.
（Text 2）
M：Excuse me， Madam. I’d like to choose some flowers for my mother’s birthday.
W：Let me see. These fresh roses are very nice.
（Text 3）
M：What is Bill’s new house like？
W：It’s really nice， and not very far from his workplace， but he is tired of hearing the planes flying overhead all day long.
（Text 4）
W：Say， what’s your favourite sport？
M：Hmm ... It’s hard to say. I like golf and basketball a lot， and tennis better， but I guess swimming is my favourite.
（Text 5）
M：What do you think of my paper？
W：The ideas are good. If I were you， though， I’d write the last two paragraphs again to make it a little clearer.
（Text 6）
M：Can you tell me how to get to the TV station by bus？
W：Take bus No.22. Don’t get off until the fifth stop， which is Silver Road.
M：Silver Road？ Aren’t there many bars？
W：Yes. Many foreigners like to go there. It will take you an hour to get there if the traffic lights are working properly.
M：I have an interview at 2：30 p.m. I don’t think I should go there by bus.
W：Why not take the subway？ Go down this road until you reach the first set of traffic lights. Turn right and you’ll see the station.
M：You are right. Thank you very much.
W：My pleasure.
（Text 7）
W：Good morning， Mr Smith. I must apologise to you for making so much noise last night.
M：I think so. My wife and I couldn’t sleep for the whole night.
W：I’m extremely sorry， Mr Smith. There was a great football match between China and Japan on TV.
M：Really？ I thought you were having a party.
W：And Anna Wilkinson who lives upstairs thought I was quarreling with my father again.
M：Anyway， it’s a pity that I missed the game. What was the result？
W：The Chinese football team won in the end. I was so excited that I forgot the time.
M：That’s good news. Please call me so that we can watch some games together next time.
（Text 8）
W：Good morning. This is the Dongfeng Hotel. Can I help you？
M：Yes， I’m John Smith. I’d like to book a single room with a shower from 20 May to 2 June.
W：Please give me a minute to check. I am sorry. We don’t have any rooms available in June.
M：Hmm ... Until 31 May would be OK.
W：Alright. Mr John Smith， a single room with a shower from 20 May to 31 May.
M：That’s right. By the way， I only have US dollars on me. Shall I change them into renminbi to pay？
W：No， that’s not necessary. We can accept US dollars.
M：Can I use a credit card to pay？ It won’t be very convenient for me to take so much money with me.
W：Of course， you can.
M：Thank you. Goodbye！
（Text 9）
W：Before beginning our sightseeing tour in China， I’d be glad to know if you have anything special in mind that you’d like to see.
M：It doesn’t matter to me， wherever we go. You can choose some scenic spots that you like， honey. I’d like to read the newspaper now.
W：You can make some suggestions， too. I don’t have anything in mind at present.
M：OK， then. What about the Great Wall — one of the seven wonders of the world？ We wouldn’t want to leave China without seeing it.
W：Is it far from here？
M：No， I’ve checked that on the Internet. It’s only about 50 kilometers. Just an hour and a half’s trip by car.
W：Good！ And we’ve heard quite a lot about the Summer Palace. I’d like to see that， too.
M：All right. The Summer Palace. And there are a number of other interesting places， such as the Temple of Heaven， the Ming Tombs and so on. Let’s watch some TV now.
W：No， you should start to prepare some food now.
（Text 10）
W：Good morning， Mr Black. You said you would give us an introduction to Chinese dragons this time. Shall we begin now？
M：OK. We are not quite certain how Chinese dragons first came about. Some people believed that they ruled over water， such as waterfalls， rivers and the ocean. In the eyes of Europeans， dragons are considered to be evil creatures， but in China， Chinese dragons mean power， strength and good luck. The Chinese dragon is present in many aspects of Chinese life. In the Chinese language， people that are considered to be excellent are compared to dragons， while people associated with failure are compared to other living things， such as insects.Only emperors were able to use dragons， and both emperors and dragons are related to the lucky number nine. The number nine is also linked with dragons in the way that people describe them as being made up of nine different animals.
The dragon is sometimes used in the West to stand for China. Instead， it is seen as an example of culture in China. In Hong Kong， the dragon is used in the design of “Brand Hong Kong”， an image used to promote Hong Kong as an international brand name.

語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。臘八節，即每年農歷十二月初八。在我國北方，有“小孩小孩你別饞，過了臘八就是年”之說，過臘八意味著拉開了過年的序幕。
28.D　細節理解題。根據第三段可知，在臘月初八這一天，釋迦牟尼佛開悟，即達到了更高的精神境界。
29.D　細節理解題。根據第五段可知，臘八節最重要的習俗是喝臘八粥，而制作臘八粥所需原料的選擇因地而異。
30.A　詞義猜測題。根據語境可知，佛在喝了牧羊女的牛奶粥之后才恢復了體力。由此可知，佛由于苦修多年，身體非常“虛弱”。
31.A　推理判斷題。根據最后一段可知，如今，寺廟堅持在臘月初八這一天向公眾施粥的傳統，另外，寺廟和餐館在臘八節當天煮好臘八粥，分發給環衛工人和獨居老人。由此可以推斷，臘八粥背后體現了“給予”和“分享”的精神。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇議論文。現代人對電子產品的依賴越來越深，日益延長的屏幕時間對我們究竟會產生什么影響？我們又該如何應對呢？
32.A　推理判斷題。根據第二段可知，這些問題主要反映了人們對社交媒體使用所產生效果的反思和疑問。

39.B　上下文都在描述一種為基本生活拼命掙扎的艱難處境，B項符合語境。
40.G　上文列舉了一些詞匯歷史學家的觀點，G項則是對此短語來歷的另一種說法。
第三部分
語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了作者學習中文的經歷，作者認為學習中文最難的部分是區分聲調，為此還發生了一個小誤會。
41.B　根據上文I am often asked how I learned to speak Chinese fluently.以及下文內容可知，雖然作者如今漢語說得很流利，但是實際上也遇到過困難。
42.D　根據下文可知，作者去商店買禮物，因為聲調不同導致了誤解，由此可知，作者學習漢語最難的部分是漢字的聲調。
43.A　根據下文the tones， I lived in Shanghai for 6 months可知，作者住在上海是為了學習聲調。
44.C　根據下文I wanted to buy a gift for my “horse”可知，作者想要給母親買禮物。
45.C　根據上文“horse” and “mother”以及常識可知，這兩個詞只有一個聲調的區別。
46.A　根據上文I wanted to buy a gift for my “horse”可知，當店員聽到作者要給“馬”買禮物時，她以為作者瘋了。短語lose one’s mind表示“失去理智”。
47.B　根據下文what I was trying to say， but it was a bit of a struggle可知，店員最后理解了作者的話。
48.B　根據上文“horse” and “mother” are only differentiated by a可知，經過這件事，作者學會了這兩種聲調的區別。
49.D　根據下文where I met a native speaker willing to help me learn Chinese可知，作者在網上找到了一個語言伙伴。
50.C　根據上文where I met a native speaker willing to help me learn Chinese可知，作者找語言伙伴的目的就是練習中文，他們每周一起練習說幾個小時的中文。
51.C　上文提到他們每周一起練習說幾個小時的中文，結果就是作者的中文說得流利起來。
52.A　根據下文just like a native speaker可知，作者的中文說得更流利了，就像一個母語人士一樣。
53.D　下文提到“當我在一個說英語的環境中學習中文時，我和我的同學們在彼此說話時經常弄混聲調”，這是作者學習中文以后得出的經驗之談。
54.B　根據上文in an English-speaking environment可知，在一個說英語的環境中學習中文，因為大家的母語都是英語，所以作者和同學們在彼此說話時經常弄混聲調。
55.D　作者這里強調在說中文的環境中面對面交流的重要性。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章簡要介紹了中國古代著名思想家老子及其《道德經》。
56.are divided　考查動詞的時態和語態。該書的81章被分為兩大部分，時態應與上下文保持一致，因此用一般現在時的被動語態。
57.as　考查狀語從句。這里的as是連詞，意為“盡管；雖然”，引導讓步狀語從句，使用了倒裝語序。
58.an　考查冠詞。本空后面是一個名詞詞組，因此這里應用不定冠詞。an important concept一個重要的概念。
59.emphasized　考查動詞的時態。根據下文的advised可知，這里應用一般過去時。
60.phenomena　考查名詞復數。前面的these暗示這里應用名詞phenomenon的復數形式。
61.following　考查非謂語動詞。由于前面是介詞without，因此這里應用動詞-ing形式。
62.to control　考查非謂語動詞。這里動詞不定式短語to control the world作后置定語。
63.which　考查定語從句。這里是由“介詞＋關系代詞”引導的非限制性定語從句，先行詞指物時，介詞后只能用which而不能用that。
64.passively　考查詞形轉換。這里應用一個副詞來修飾后面的動詞短語wait for。
65.on　考查介詞。on the basis of是一個固定短語，意為“在……之上”。

第一節
Dear Smith，
　　I am only too glad to take you to visit Xi’an.Please allow me to give you a brief introduction to it.
　　Located in north central China， Xi’an， called Chang’an in ancient times， is the provincial capital of Shaanxi Province.
　　Known as the birthplace of Chinese civilization， Xi’an is the oldest of China’s Four Great Ancient Capitals， serving as the capital city of 13 dynasties for over 1，100 years.Undoubtedly， the history and cultural significance of Xi’an stretches through China’s ancient past and into its bright future.
　　As one of the most well-known historical and cultural cities in China， Xi’an has numerous tourist attractions， such as the Terracotta Warriors and Horses， Ancient City Wall， Bell Tower， the Big Wild Goose Pagoda， and Shaanxi History Museum.
　　I guarantee you will have a wonderful time in Xi’an.
Best regards，
Li Hua
第二節
　　Before I could realise how fast one month went by， I was standing behind the starting line of the sports meet.Seeing my classmates waving their hands as if about to run beside me， I no longer felt lonely or afraid.With the shot of the starting gun， I dashed out and ran as fast as I could， as if it were a 200-meter race.Soon I was out of breath and slowed down.Other runners passed me one by one， and gradually I had no idea how many of them were still behind me.My legs were getting heavier and heavier， and I might fall down at any moment.However， I suddenly heard Mary calling my name.My deskmate even ran along the track beside me and cheered for me at the same time， just like the month-long training we did together.Gritting my teeth， I pushed myself on step by step.
　　As expected， I was almost the last to cross the finish line.When I was wondering how to apologise for my poor performance， my classmates came around to hold my arms， helping me walk on my feet and not to sit down.I was surrounded， with all kinds of drinks handed to me.The kind of warmth that I felt at the very moment stayed fresh on my mind.Obviously， one month certainly couldn’t make me a good runner， but I was full of confidence that I would improve in the future.Sports are not about winning or losing competitions， but bringing me close to my classmates and helping us grow together.

M：It’s five fifty. Let’s hurry. There’s ten minutes left.
（Text 2）
M：Excuse me， Madam. I’d like to choose some flowers for my
mother’s birthday.
W：Let me see. These fresh roses are very nice.
（Text 3）
M：What is Bill’s new house like？
W：It’s really nice， and not very far from his workplace， but he is
tired of hearing the planes flying overhead all day long.
（Text 4）
W：Say， what’s your favourite sport？
M：Hmm ... It’s hard to say. I like golf and basketball a lot， and
tennis better， but I guess swimming is my favourite.
（Text 5）
M：What do you think of my paper？
W：The ideas are good. If I were you， though， I’d write the last two
paragraphs again to make it a little clearer.
（Text 6）
M：Can you tell me how to get to the TV station by bus？
W：Take bus No.22. Don’t get off until the fifth stop， which is Silver
Road.
M：Silver Road？ Aren’t there many bars？
W：Yes. Many foreigners like to go there. It will take you an hour to get
there if the traffic lights are working properly.
M：I have an interview at 2：30 p.m. I don’t think I should go there by
bus.
W：Why not take the subway？ Go down this road until you reach the
first set of traffic lights. Turn right and you’ll see the station.
M：You are right. Thank you very much.
W：My pleasure.
（Text 7）
W：Good morning， Mr Smith. I must apologise to you for making so
much noise last night.
M：I think so. My wife and I couldn’t sleep for the whole night.
W：I’m extremely sorry， Mr Smith. There was a great football match
between China and Japan on TV.
M：Really？ I thought you were having a party.
W：And Anna Wilkinson who lives upstairs thought I was quarreling with
my father again.
M：Anyway， it’s a pity that I missed the game. What was the result？
W：The Chinese football team won in the end. I was so excited that I
forgot the time.
M：That’s good news. Please call me so that we can watch some games
together next time.
（Text 8）

shower from 20 May to 2 June.
W：Please give me a minute to check. I am sorry. We don’t have any
rooms available in June.
M：Hmm ... Until 31 May would be OK.
W：Alright. Mr John Smith， a single room with a shower from 20 May
to 31 May.
M：That’s right. By the way， I only have US dollars on me. Shall I
change them into renminbi to pay？
W：No， that’s not necessary. We can accept US dollars.
M：Can I use a credit card to pay？ It won’t be very convenient for me
to take so much money with me.
W：Of course， you can.
M：Thank you. Goodbye！
（Text 9）
W：Before beginning our sightseeing tour in China， I’d be glad to
know if you have anything special in mind that you’d like to see.
M：It doesn’t matter to me， wherever we go. You can choose some
scenic spots that you like， honey. I’d like to read the newspaper now.
W：You can make some suggestions， too. I don’t have anything in
mind at present.
M：OK， then. What about the Great Wall — one of the seven wonders
of the world？ We wouldn’t want to leave China without seeing it.
W：Is it far from here？
M：No， I’ve checked that on the Internet. It’s only about 50
kilometers. Just an hour and a half’s trip by car.
W：Good！ And we’ve heard quite a lot about the Summer Palace. I’d
like to see that， too.
M：All right. The Summer Palace. And there are a number of other
interesting places， such as the Temple of Heaven， the Ming Tombs and
so on. Let’s watch some TV now.
W：No， you should start to prepare some food now.
（Text 10）
W：Good morning， Mr Black. You said you would give us an
introduction to Chinese dragons this time. Shall we begin now？
M：OK. We are not quite certain how Chinese dragons first came about.
Some people believed that they ruled over water， such as waterfalls，
rivers and the ocean. In the eyes of Europeans， dragons are considered to
be evil creatures， but in China， Chinese dragons mean power， strength
and good luck. The Chinese dragon is present in many aspects of Chinese
life. In the Chinese language， people that are considered to be excellent are compared to dragons， while people associated with failure are compared to other living things， such as insects.Only emperors were able
to use dragons， and both emperors and dragons are related to the lucky
number nine. The number nine is also linked with dragons in the way that people describe them as being made up of nine different animals.
The dragon is sometimes used in the West to stand for China. Instead， it is seen as an example of culture in China. In Hong Kong， the dragon is used in the design of “Brand Hong Kong”， an image used to promote Hong Kong as an international brand name.

Top Wonders of the World
　　From India to Rome， these sights will inspire your next historical
vacation.
　
　Taj Mahal
　　The Taj Mahal was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory
of his wife Mumtaz Mahal.Constructed from 1632 to 1648， the property
covers 42 acres， including its beautiful gardens.
　　Best time to go： Late spring and early summer in this part of India
has often severe heat.Then come monsoons.November to February is your
best chance for pleasant weather.The sunrises here are highly admired.
　　The Great Wall
　　The Great Wall of China is the world’s longest wall and one of the
most famous landmarks in China.Dating back to about 700 BCE， it
stretches over 13，000 miles and was designed to protect the country from
invaders.
　　Best time to go： Plan for a spring or fall trip when the weather is
nicer and fewer people visit.Summertime is often hot and crowded， and
winter can be extremely cold in northern China.
　　Petra
　　Located in the Kingdom of Jordan， Petra was built directly into the
cliffside around 312 BCE by the Nabataeans.The city includes temples，
tombs， and its most well-known building — the Treasury.
　　Best time to go： Summer can get very hot in Jordan， and winter is
much colder than you may realise.Weatherwise， aim for spring or fall.
　　The Colosseum
　　The Colosseum remains Rome’s top attraction.Built in the first
century by Emperor Vespasian， the massive theater spans 620 by 513
feet， which would hold 80，000 people.
　　Best time to go： You’ll find fewer tourists there during Rome’s
low season （winter）， weekdays and during the opening hour or near
closing time.If you show up in summer at midday， it’s going to be
hot！

　　You’re never too young to start being charitable.It doesn’t have to
be a grand gesture， just something as simple as a lemonade stand.
　　But sometimes even the smallest gestures can end up becoming a
rather big deal.And one perfect example of this， is a neighbourhood
lemonade stand in Peoria， Illinois， which really took off.
　　It started out when a group of neighbourhood kids in the Knolls
neighbourhood got together in order to participate in a fundraiser to help
raise money for the St.Jude Children’s Research Hospital.The children
got busy selling lemonade and other treats all throughout the weekend，
and their hard work paid off.In total， they were able to make more than
$3，500 for the good cause.
　　But this charitable lemonade stand isn’t in its first year.In fact， it
has been several years in the making， all because of one mom’s
actions.Suzanne Miller has been participating in charity races for the
hospital for years， and because of her actions， her kids wanted to join in
her fundraising.Hence the lemonade stand was started.
　　As Miller shared with WMBD，“The first year we did it we raised
$220， and we thought that was amazing.Each year， it got bigger and
bigger.”
　　But it’s not just the profits that have increased over the years， so
have the volunteers.This year， Miller’s kids were joined by her
neighbour Leslie Rothan’s three kids in running the lemonade stand.
　　Miller posted to Facebook，“The Lemonade Stand for St.Jude that
our neighbours hosted this weekend raised $3，515 and donated it to my
run goal.I CANNOT find the words to tell you how I feel.It’s absolutely
incredible to celebrate this way.”
　　According to WMBD， Leslie Rothan added， “As a parent， it
really makes you filled with joy.It was their idea， obviously we wanted
to support and encourage them to be as successful as possible， but it
really helped them to realise what they were doing and how that money
could really help save children.”

　　The Laba Festival， also simply called “Laba”， comes on the
eighth day of the twelfth month of the Chinese lunar year.It falls on 7
January this year.The festival has this name because the twelfth month is
also called “la” month in Chinese while the number eight is pronounced
“ba”.
　　Since it’s in the last month of the lunar year， the festival implies
saying goodbye to the old and embracing the new， and is often regarded
as a warm-up celebration for the upcoming Spring Festival.As an old
saying goes， “After Laba， it’s the （Chinese） New Year.”
　　Laba Day is also Bodhi Day in the Buddhist tradition.It’s said that
Shakyamuni Buddha， the founder of Buddhism， attained enlightenment
（覺悟） on this day.Thus， the day is one of the grandest festivals for
Buddhists.
　　One of the festival’s traditions is to offer sacrifices （貢品） to the
ancestors and gods.In the agrarian societies of ancient times， this
worship was a prayer for good luck and a bountiful harvest.
　　The most important custom during the Laba Festival is eating Laba
congee.This dish is cooked with a mix of eight ingredients， as eight is a
lucky number in Chinese culture.The tradition to have Laba congee on this
day dates back more than a thousand years and is still a major part of Laba
day in many places.The selection of ingredients for the congee may vary
geographically.
　　Legend has it that， before being enlightened， the Buddha worked
hard for many years and was very feeble .Thanks to the milk porridge
offered by some shepherdesses， he recovered physical strength and later
achieved enlightenment.
　　Therefore， nowadays， temples adhere to the tradition of offering
congee to the public on this day to show appreciation for the kindhearted
and to help the poor.Temples as well as restaurants cook and hand out
Laba congee on the day of the festival to sanitation workers and senior
people who live alone.Every year， people line up in temples since the
early morning for the bowl of goodness.

當天煮好臘八粥，分發給環衛工人和獨居老人。由此可以推斷，
臘八粥背后體現了“給予”和“分享”的精神。

With the development of science and technology， we settled into a
new routine of opening up laptops and tablets to see classmates’ faces
and hear teachers’ lessons.I transitioned quickly to seeing my clinic
patients via telehealth and managing my research lab over Zoom.Humans
have never been so dependent on technology as we have been this past
year.
“Screen time” was not a helpful concept this year.I heard parents
reflecting on the media use： Did my kids feel more connected to someone
else’s experience， or did they feel more divided from others？ Did I put
down my device feeling more anxious and angry or feeling like life made
more sense？ Did I feel like my family’s behaviour was being secretly
tracked， or did I feel aware and in control？
When life is stressful， screens can be soothing （撫慰的）.When
life is busy， screens can help us feel more in control and keep kids quiet.
These are not new insights， but we’ve all experienced more of it this year as parents struggle with impossible role overload during a hard time.
Allowing technology to soothe us can distract from the family
interactions that actually help build good relationships and make meaning
out of stressful times.Now is our opportunity to figure out a balance
between soothing away boredom and learning strategies to manage it in
other ways.
As the pandemic wears on， this might be deciding where technology
“lives” in your house， and where it “sleeps” overnight， so it
doesn’t invade all of your downtime.It might mean seeing a doctor to
work on strategies for you and your child to handle negative emotions and
conflict.
With evidence that technology platforms are trying to identify our
emotions for marketing purposes， it’s more important than ever to
understand our emotional relationships with our devices.
As parents， it can be difficult to build these insights into technology
when it is intentionally designed to not make us think and reflect.But as
we emerge from this pandemic， I would love for parents to demand more
helpful， honest design in the tech products we use.

第二節（共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分）
閱讀下面短文，從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
Rats.They are not among nature’s most loved animals.36.
（　　） They have been tested and retested for so many diseases and
other issues — all for the purpose of human health and happiness.
Rats have other uses， as well.For example， they can be trained to
find explosives buried underground.37.（　　） So， some people like
rats.Some don’t.However， when talking about English expressions，
“rat” phrases almost all have a negative meaning.
Calling someone a “rat” is a big insult （侮辱）.When we “rat
on” someone， we tell others something they did in order to get them in
trouble.If an object is “ratty”， it is in poor condition.And we can
simply say “Rats！” if something bad happens.
Today， we will talk about another bad rat expression： rat race.38.
（　　） It is not.A rat race is a purely human situation.
If you are in a rat race， you are in a daily work routine that is
extremely competitive， tiring and never-ending.Day after day， you
compete for more power and more wealth against others wanting the same
thing.We can also use the term “rat race” to describe a person’s
struggle to gain the basics of life.39.（　　） They are seemingly
helpless against a way of life that is slowly killing them and their souls.
Some word historians say this expression comes from real rat
races.These were sporting events held in the 1800s.People would bet
money on the rats.40.（　　） Scientists often study rats to see how they
will react in different conditions.
A. It’s a commonly used word.
B. This struggle is also out of their control.
C. However， rats help humans in many ways.
D. This may sound like a running contest between rats.
E. Despite all this， lots of people fear or even hate rats.
F. Some people think leaving or quitting a rat race is an easy choice.
G. Others say it comes from the custom of testing rats in laboratory
experiments.

（2024·武漢部分重點中學高一上學期期末）
Sports Bring Us Together
　　Sports are more than competitions.
　　I used to be very shy and often felt lonely.Although I did well in all
the academic subjects， I was afraid of physical education.Even kids in
the neighbourhood would laugh at me.“Look at that girl，” they
said.“Her feet don’t leave the ground when she runs！” Their words
embarrassed me.At school， whenever the teacher organised some
competitive games， no one in the class would choose me as their partner
or team member.As a result， I often ended up looking at others enjoy
their games.
　　Things would go on like that if not for a sports meet in my high
school.By mistake， my name was put on the list of those who would
compete in the women’s 1，500 meters race.By the time people found
the mistake， it was too late to change.
　　My deskmate， Mary， was a natural athlete.She said to me， “I
couldn’t run that race in your place， because I have signed up for three
items already.” I nearly broke down.1，500 meters！ Running against
the best runners in front of the whole school！ It would be the worst
nightmare I’d ever have！
　　“You still have time to catch up because there is still one month
before the sports meet，” Mary patted me on the shoulder，“That is
cool！ You will run for our class！ And we will do training together.”
Yes， this is not just for myself， but for my class.But still， 1，500
meters to me was like Mount Everest （珠穆朗瑪峰） to a beginning
climber.I had no idea even how to start my preparation.
　　Mary invited me to join in their training.Every afternoon after class，
several of us ran together.When the fear of being laughed at flooded over
me， I saw others running right beside or stand by the tracks cheering for
us.They gave me strengths.
注意：1.續寫詞數應為150左右；
2. 請按如下格式作答。
Before I could realise how fast one month went by， I was
standing behind the starting line of the sports meet.

參考范文：
　　Before I could realise how fast one month went by， I was standing
behind the starting line of the sports meet.Seeing my classmates waving
their hands as if about to run beside me， I no longer felt lonely or
afraid.With the shot of the starting gun， I dashed out and ran as fast as I
could， as if it were a 200-meter race.Soon I was out of breath and slowed
down.Other runners passed me one by one， and gradually I had no idea
how many of them were still behind me.My legs were getting heavier and
heavier， and I might fall down at any moment.However， I suddenly
heard Mary calling my name.My deskmate even ran along the track beside
me and cheered for me at the same time， just like the month-long training
we did together.Gritting my teeth， I pushed myself on step by step.
　　As expected， I was almost the last to cross the finish line.When I
was wondering how to apologise for my poor performance， my
classmates came around to hold my arms， helping me walk on my feet
and not to sit down.I was surrounded， with all kinds of drinks handed to
me.The kind of warmth that I felt at the very moment stayed fresh on my
mind.Obviously， one month certainly couldn’t make me a good
runner， but I was full of confidence that I would improve in the
future.Sports are not about winning or losing competitions， but bringing
me close to my classmates and helping us grow together.
謝謝觀看！
