Many Westerners have the idea that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu.Of course，This is a silly belief. But it is true that kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.
Like most people from the West，I was first introduced to kung fu through Hong Kong action films.Stars like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan made kung fu popular in the Western world.The flashy and impressive performances they gave in films like Rumble in the Bronx and Enter the Dragon made them household names in the U.S.and elsewhere.
However，my own personal interest in kung fu was actually inspired by a hip hop group.Wu-Tang Clan，founded in the early 1990s in New York City，is one of the most influential hip hop groups in history.In their songs，they sometimes mention philosophical concepts that come from Wudang quan—a classic Chinese martial art（武术） from which they take their name—and Shaolin Temple.I was just a teenager when I first started listening to Wu-Tang Clan—little did I know that I would actually end up living in China later in my life!
I myself do not practice kung fu.However，the concepts（理念） behind it are quite interesting to me.There is a Bruce Lee quote that I often think of when I’m struggling with challenges in life.“Be formless，shapeless，like water，”he once said.By this，he meant that you should be ready to adapt to and change your attitudes or beliefs when you face difficulties.I think this is a good way to deal with life.
24.What does “a silly belief” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A.All Chinese people can do kung fu.
B.China is most famous for its kung fu.
C.Kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.
D.Many Westerners admire kung fu.
25.What inspired the author’s interest in kung fu
A.Hong Kong action movies.
B.A TV program about kung fu.

A.They have Chinese culture in their songs.
B.They taught the author how to do Wudang quan.
C.They performed Chinese martial arts in the U.S.
D.They showed the author the way to live in China.
27.What can we learn from the last paragraph
A.The author was sorry that he couldn’t do kung fu.
B.The concepts of kung fu change over time.
C.The spirit of kung fu helps the author overcome difficulties.
D.Bruce Lee was the most popular martial arts master.

At the age of seven，while his friends were spending their allowance（零花钱） on things like candy and toys，Jose Adolfo Quisocola was busy saving money for basic purchases.To try to get his peers(同龄人)to do the same，the boy from Peru came up with the idea of an eco-bank，the Bartselana Student Bank，which allows kids of all ages to become financially independent while also helping the environment.
Set up in 2012，the bank is the world’s first bank for kids.To become a member，a kid has to bring in at least 5 kilograms of waste and set a savings goal.Once accepted，all bank“partners”are required to deposit at least one additional kilogram of recyclables on a monthly basis and observe other requirements，such as attending financial education and environmental management workshops.“At the beginning，my teachers thought I was crazy and thought that a child could not undertake this type of project，”Jose recalls.“They did not understand that we are not the future of the country but its present.Luckily，I had the support of the school headmaster and an assistant in my class.”
The boy’s efforts paid off，and by 2013，the bank had over 200 members，who brought in one ton of recyclable waste.Today，the eco-bank，which now has the support of several local institutions，boasts ten educational centers.They are designed to teach over 3，000 students，aged 10 to 18，to become financially independent，use their money wisely，and help the environment.
Not surprisingly，Jose’s efforts have earned him several national and international awards.On November 20，2018，Jose won Children’s Climate Prize，which comes with a medal and $ 5，500 in prize money and is given to a child or youth who has accomplished an extraordinary achievement for the climate or environment.
28.Why did Jose set up the bank
A.To raise money and set up a recycling company.
B.To buy necessities and donate them to needy kids.
C.To save much money and protect the environment.
D.To educate the students and help them win prizes.

B.By turning in one kilogram of waste in a month.
C.By sending in an application.
D.By presenting a savings goal and a certain amount of waste.
30.How did the teachers feel about Jose’s program
A.Doubtful. B.Excited. C.Moved. D.Worried.
31.What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A.How the environment is improved.
B.What the project has achieved.

Once there was a little girl named Emily. Although her singing was very pleasant, lacking courage, she never dared to sing in front of strangers.
One summer, the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said, “ I’m afraid to take part in it.” her mother said, “It’s okay. Just do it bravely.” Emily took her mother’s advice and decided to give it a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid(胆小的) to walk onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily(颤抖地) forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing, but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and shouted, “Emily, coward(胆小鬼)! Emily, coward!” Emily didn’t argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally, she rushed into the house, hugged her mother and cried sadly.
“Well, my poor girl. Don’t cry. Tell me what happened to you,” said her mother. Emily looked at her mother and told her what she had experienced.
Listening to her, her mother cupped her face and said, “It doesn’t matter, dear. As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little. So, my girl, don’t be beaten by a failure. You can go out to practice singing every day. No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and never stop. I believe there will be a harvest for you.”

1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Para1: Emily listened to her mother carefully and followed her suggestion.Para2: Going on singing, she walked into a park, where many people were singing and dancing.

Dear Jack,
I’m glad to tell you something about China’s Spring Festival.
The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. It falls on the last day of the lunar year and lasts until the Lantern Festival. Before the festival comes, people clean and decorate their houses to welcome the New Year. On New Year’s Eve, people usually get together to watch TV while eating delicious food. During the festival, people go from house to house to pay a visit to their relatives and friends.
I like the Spring Festival very much because I can get pocket money from my parents and relatives. How do you like the Spring Festival
Yours,
Li Hua
