On November 17th, 2022, Qatar’s first Panda House was open to all people. The Panda House is the new home to two giant pandas. China sent them to Qatar as a gift.
The pandas took a special plane to Qatar on October 19th. Before that, they lived at a study centre in Sichuan Province. Si Hai is a three-year-old female(雌性的) panda, while Jing Jing is a four-year-old male(雄性的) panda. After they arrived there, they were renamed Soraya and Suhail. Both names mean “stars in the sky” in Arabic(阿拉伯语).
The Panda House is in Doha, the capital of Qatar. It covers an area of 120,000 square metres and can provide the perfect indoor climate(气候) for the pandas. China flies about 1,000 kilograms of fresh bamboo to Qatar every week to feed the two animals. A team of Chinese experts taught local keepers how to take care of the pandas. One important job for these keepers was to learn the Sichuan dialect(方言). The pandas know the dialect of their hometown very well. So communicating with them in it can help them get used to the new environment.
It is the first time that giant pandas have travelled from China to the Middle East. The pair will stay in Qatar for 15 years. “This is a gift from all the Chinese to the people of Qatar for the World Cup,” said Zhou Jian, China’s ambassador(大使) to Qatar. “It stands for the friendship between China and Qatar.”
44. Which is NOT mentioned(提及) in Paragraph 3
A. The size of the Panda House.
B. The location(位置) of the Panda House.
C. The way the two pandas get their food.
D. The difference in raising pandas between the two countries.
45. Why did the keepers in Qatar learn the Sichuan dialect
A. To get a better understanding of Chinese culture.
B. To learn more about the hometown of the pandas.
C. To help the pandas get used to living in Qatar.
D. To have better communication with Chinese keepers.
46. The writer writes this passage to____________.
A. advise readers to protect giant pandas
B. ask readers to watch the giant pandas in Qatar
C. teach readers how to keep giant pandas in Qatar
D. tell readers something about the giant pandas’ journey to Qatar.

Hagai Otieno was born and grew up in Mathare, the second largest poor area in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi. He used to be worried that he would have to drop out of school like his elder brothers and sisters, because their father supported the whole family by himself. He couldn’t put food on the table easily, let alone(更不用说) afford to send his children to school.
However, Otieno can dream big now. He finished the MCEDO Beijing School last year and will study in a college in China this September. The Chinese government gives him a helping hand.
“I am really thankful for their help to make my journey through school go well,” Otieno said. “There were times when my parents had to choose between buying food and books. My dad often felt sorry that he failed to make us all receive education.”
The MCEDO Beijing School was established in Mathare in 2007 with the help of the Chinese government. The Chinese government has donated food and school things to the school and helped renovate (整修) old classrooms. Until now, more than 1,500 children from poor areas in Kenya have completed their high school studies there. Many of them are studying in college or have started working to support their families.
Fredrick Sango has been a Maths teacher in the school for five years. “Many families in the country can’t afford three meals a day, so the free food attracts(吸引) more students to the school. Anyway, I’m glad to see more Kenyan children can receive basic education,” Sango said.
47. What did Otieno worry about
A. Living in a poor area. B. Being unable to go to school.
C. Leaving his hometown. D. Supporting his whole family.
48. Why can Otieno dream big now
A. Because he does well in college.
B. Because he can make money by himself.
C. Because his parents can afford his further education.
D. Because the Chinese government offers him help.
49. The underlined word “established” probably means “__________”.
A. set up B. dreamed of C. broken down D. tidied up
50. What does Sango mean in the last paragraph
A. The students in Kenya don’t like to study.
B. Most children in Kenya have received basic education.
C. Many children in Kenya go to the school for free meals.
D. Children in Kenya start to learn basic life skills in school.
五、信息还原（短文六选四）（共4小题；每小题1.5分，满分6分）

No beauty shines brighter than that of a good heart. After all, good actions always pay off! 51 He turns old tyres(轮胎) into comfortable and beautiful animal beds.
Everything started several years ago. 52 Then an idea came to his mind: Why not use these tyres to make some comfortable beds for the poor dogs
From that day on, Amarildo started collecting old tyres. He first cleaned one of them and cut off its top. Next, he covered the holes in its bottom with plywood(胶合板). The artist then painted the tyre pink. He even sewed a cushion(缝制垫子) onto the tyre in order to make the pet bed more comfortable.
After turning one of the tyres into a pet bed successfully, Amarildo decided to make more. He then finished more than 100 colourful beds and gave them to local animal volunteer organizations. 53 He received orders(订单) from all over the country. However, most of his pet beds have been given to homeless animals for free.
54 Not only does he recycle harmful materials, but also he helps provide better places to sleep for many animals. “The only way to do a great job,” said Amarildo, “is to love what you do.” And by continuing to do this work, he is showing his great love for both the Earth and the animals.六、阅读短文回答问题，每题答案不超过四个单词。（共3小题；分别为1、2、2分，满分5分）

Since creating the civilized(文明的) city, all the people in Changzhou have made joint efforts. Their good behaviour can be seen everywhere. As a junior student, I have also done a lot about it.
Now I have become more polite to others. I think it important for me to obey the traffic rules because it can lead to fewer and fewer accidents. Moreover, it is good manners for me not to make a lot of noise./ I also form a habit of giving my seat to the people in need on the bus. At the same time, I have realized the importance of protecting the environment and I have developed a green lifestyle. I always turn off the tap while brushing my teeth. In this way, I can help save water and energy. Besides, I have many good habits to reduce pollution. For example, I take my own bags when going shopping. What’s more, I am helpful enough to work as a volunteer in the community centre to help the children with their studies./ I am glad to give a helping hand to people in need, such as donating pocket money to poor children.
Many hands make light work. If everyone tries our best, we will make a big difference to our city. The more good manners we have, the more beautiful and civilized our city will be.
