Perhaps my favorite place during my trip to Guangxi was the Longji Rice Terraces（梯田）
in Longsheng. I’ve seen rice terraces elsewhere in Asia, but nothing compared with the beauty of
the Longji Rice Terraces. To go to Guangxi and skip these rice terraces would be a loss.
These over 600-year-old terraces are still very much in use and feed the local Yao and
Zhuang communities; you can find many guesthouses throughout the various rice terraces, and
while accommodations ( 住宿) are very basic, I would strongly suggest spending a night in the
peaceful terraces, surrounded by nothing but rice.
My friends and I had arrived in Guangxi on harvest day and we were told by our local
guide it was too late to see Longji in its autumnal beauty. But we were super lucky because the
2021 harvest had been put off, and when we arrived in Longsheng a couple of days later, it was
the last day before the harvest began. It’s quite risky to time your visit this way, but it is amazing
to see the Longji Rice Terraces both before harvest and after, when it takes on a completely new
character.
The two main terraced areas are the Ping’an Terraced Fields and the Jinkeng Terraced
Fields. The former is home to the local Zhuang people and has more visitors as it’s easier to
reach. Jinkeng, on the other hand, is less visited. The Red Yao people live here, and should you
need a hand with your suitcase, their women are happy to help you. We chose Jinkeng because
it’s home to the highest point of the Longji Rice Terraces. The viewpoint is nearly 4,000 feet
第 4 页 共 10 页
high. We had to go up there as our hotel was up there, but you should anyway as it’s the most
wonderful viewpoint.
The Longji Rice Terraces are supposed to be beautiful in the spring and summer as well,
though I much prefer its autumnal beauty. Winter, I’d skip, as it was already cold enough at
night in October, but I’d return and visit again in the spring or summer.
24. What is the author’s advice for people visiting the Longji Rice Terraces
A. Staying a night at a guesthouse among the terraces.
B. Going to the local Yao and Zhuang communities.
C. Choosing good accommodations.
D. Eating the local rice.
25. Why did the author feel very lucky when he arrived in Longsheng
A. He could enjoy the terraces’ autumnal beauty.
B. He found a time-saving way to the terraces.
C. He came across one of his friends.
D. He had a professional local guide.
26. What made the author choose the Jinkeng Terraced Fields
A. The affordable hotel. B. The friendly people.
C. The great viewpoint. D. The light traffic.
27. Where can the text be found
A. In a short novel. B. In a news report.
C. In a history book. D. In a travel magazine.
C
One of the greatest sources of unhappiness, in my experience, is the difficulty we have in
accepting things as they are.
When we see something we don’t like, we wish it could be different. We cry out for
something better. That may be human nature, or perhaps it’s something rooted in our culture.
The root of the unhappiness isn’t necessarily that we want things to be different. However, it’s
that we decided we didn’t like it in the first place. We’ve judged it as bad, rather than saying,
“It’s not bad or good, and it just is it.”
In one of my books, I said “You should expect people to mess up and expect things to go
differently than you planned”. Some readers said it’s too sorrowful to expect things to go wrong.
However, it’s only negative if you see it as negative and judge it as bad. Instead, you could
accept it as the way the world works and try to understand why that is.
This can be applied to whatever you do: how other people act at work, how politics works
and how depressing the news media can be. Accept these things as they are, and try to
understand why they’re that way. It will save you a lot of sadness, because you’ll no longer say,
第 5 页 共 10 页
“Oh. I wish bad things didn’t happen.”
Does it mean you can never change things Not at all. But change things not because you
can’t accept things as they are, but because you enjoy the process of changing, learning and
growing.
Can we make this world a better place You can say that you’ll continue to try to do things
to help others, to grow as a person, to make a difference in this world. That’s the correct path
you choose to take, because you enjoy that path. Therefore, when you find yourself judging and
wishing for difference, try a different approach: accept and understand. It might lead to some
interesting results.
28. The author believes that we feel unhappy maybe because .
A. it is our natural emotion in the life B. culture asks us to be different from others
C. everyone has their own opinions on things D. we dislike something in the beginning
29. Some readers think the words in the author’s book is too .
A. depressing B. frightening C. encouraging D. unreal
30. In paragraph 4, the underlined word “it” refers to .
A. acting well at work and in politics
B. feeling depressed for the news media
C. accepting and understanding what has happened
D. saying something negative when bad things come
31. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Expecting things to be different gives us hope.
B. Accepting can make our life happier and better.
C. Traditional culture becomes the root of unhappiness.
D. Judging good or bad is important for our world.
D
While waiting in bus stations, airports or parks, some people are busy with a friendly
conversation, and others read newspapers, comics, novels and pocket books. That was many
years ago.
Today everyone uses smartphones, tablets and laptops at home, work and school. Exactly, it
improves our communication, social media, entertainment and provides convenience to work.
The computers, Interweb, and smartphones have become part of our everyday life.
However, the publishing houses suffer terrible losses, and the comics industry is out of
business, for everyone goes digital and gadget (小玩意) dependent.
Especially in the COVID-19 times, the sales of PC, laptops and gadgets suddenly went up
quickly. Because of health safety problems, people chose to shop online. Moreover, education
happens through Online Distance Learning, which forced parents to buy desktops and
第 6 页 共 10 页
smartphones. Yet behind the benefits and use of these modern gadgets is a sad reality. Many
students lose the face-to-face conversation skills in public speaking, and social skills.
Another problem is health. The young generation today spends so much time on gadgets
inside homes. They don’t live the traditional healthy outdoor life. The result is eyesight problems
and enjoying very little sunlight.
For workers, too much exposure (暴露 ) to video call meetings has damaged their health.
What’s more, many of us are expected to continue working at home.
Modern information technology (IT) has really-affected our way of life. In the COVID-19
times, these products of modern technology have protected us from public exposure and direct
interaction with people. However, its continuous use can also harm people’s health and interest.
Thus, we should take control of IT application in our life and not allow IT to endanger our health
and safety.
32. What is the purpose of paragraph 1
A. To give tips on how to make good use of our time.
B. To draw readers’ interest in traditional ways of life.
C. To serve as the background information of the text.
D. To provide readers with a typical life scene many years ago.
33. What do we know from the second paragraph
A. A smartphone is more useful than a computer.
B. Without information technology, we can’t communicate.
C. We are not able to work or study without computers.
D. Information technology brings people many benefits.
34. What problem can IT gadgets cause
A. Many students talk little face to face.
B. Many publishing houses turn to IT business.
C. Many parents are forced to learn to use IT gadgets.
D. Many workers are out of work and have to stay inside.
35. Which is the best title of the text
A. How did COVID-19 affect information technology
B. How does modern information technology affect us
C. How did modern technology become part of our everyday life
D. How do people make use of modern technology

As the old saying goes, laughter is the best medicine. 36 . However, doctors have
begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that

laughter really can improve people’s health.

breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It
increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also
works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. 38 .

enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.

Dear Nick,
How’s it going Firstly, I sincerely send my congratulations to you on your good job in World Team
Table Tennis Championships. Knowing that you are interested in the colour red widely used in China, I’m
more than glad to make a brief introduction of it to you.
We Chinese people do like red, for red stands for happiness and good fortune in our culture. Therefore,
you can see people wearing red clothes and red lanterns hanging during the Spring Festival and National Day
which you just experienced during your stay in Chengdu. And the senior citizens even give their
grandchildren some lucky money in red envelopes. Besides, young couples are also dressed in red on their
weddings. However, be sure to avoid wearing red clothes during some sad events, such as attending funerals,
which are occasions when the color white is mainly used in our culture, and visiting some patients. If you do
so , it is really rude
I truly hope my explanation will be of great use for you . Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
