In recent years, it has become popular for women to wear a traditional qipao dress. Especially during the National College Entrance Examination, better known as the “gaokao”，many mothers wear qipaos to wish their children good luck in the exam. The reason is that “qipao” represents the Chinese phrase “qi kai de sheng” meaning victory.
The qipao has a high collar, with pankous, traditional Chinese knotted buttons on the front. Some people believe the qipao originated from gowns (长袍) worn by women in the Qing Dynasty. Influenced by Western culture，it changed continually during the early 20th century, becoming more fitted and body-hugging.
After years of development, the qipao is now mainly divided into Beijing styles, Shanghai styles and Hong Kong styles. There are many differences in color and design.
The Beijing-style qipao is more traditional than Shanghai-style and Hong Kong-style qipaos. The colors of Beijing-style qipaos are much brighter. High-quality Beijing-style qipaos are usually made by hand, so the price is much higher.
Compared with Beijing-style qipaos, Shanghai-style ones are more forward-looking，More Western elements(元素) are used in the designs and colors. Shanghai-style qipaos became the most popular qipao style because of the fashionable design and slim shape. Now, Shanghai-style qipaos are still the first choice for most women, especially among younger ones.
Hong Kong-style qipaos have been influenced greatly by European fashions. They have shorter sleeves than the other two. The decorations are simpler, too.
The qipao is a very classic product to represent the beauty of traditional Chinese clothing. It shows not only the history of the Han people, but also the footprints of other cultures on the land.
29. How does the author start the passage
A. By telling a story. B. By using a saying.
C. By describing a scene. D. By asking a question.
30. Why do many mothers wear qipaos during the exam
A. To develop traditional culture.
B. To make their children relaxed.
C. To cheer over their children's victory.
D. To express good wishes to their children
31. Which of the following is not mentioned in Paragraph 2
A. Who buys the qipao.
B. What the qipao looks like.
C. The development of the qipao.
D. The origin of the qipao.
32. Which words can best describe Shanghai-style qipaos
① traditional ② modern ③ popular ④ simple
A.①② B. ②③ C.③④ D.①④
C
At 5,895 meters, Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa. It's also the world's tallest mountain that is not part of a mountain range (山脉). The mountain is part of Kilimanjaro National Park in the northeast of Tanzania. Around 50,000 people visit the park each year. Most of them - about 35,000 every year -are trying to climb the mountain.
But climbing such a tall, glacier-covered(冰川覆盖的) mountain isn't easy. About one-third of the people who try to climb it are forced to give up. Tanzania's information minister said, "In the past, it was a bit dangerous for visitors without the Internet.
The new Internet service should make it easier for climbers to reach the top of the mountain. (

)They can use the Internet to check maps and find their way. And they can also use the Internet to call for help if they need it.
Now, the new service reaches more than halfway up the mountain. The government says that by the end of the year, climbers will be able to get the Internet even at the very top of Mount Kilimanjaro.
The government adds that safety is the main reason for setting up the Internet service on the mountain. At the same time, having people post pictures and videos on social media as they climb Mount Kilimanjaro would certainly make the mountain even more popular with tourists.
Some people, however, aren't happy with the government's decision. The reason is that, according to a study in 2020, only about 83% of people in Tanzania could get cell phone service.
33. Which is TRUE about Mount Kilimanjaro
A. The mountain is the tallest mountain in Asia.
B. The mountain lies in the northeast of Tanzania
C. About 50,000 people climb the mountain every year.
D. Kilimanjaro National Park is at the top of the mountain.
34. What's the author's purpose in writing Paragraph 2
A. To give advice on how to protect this area.
B. To show the difficulties in building the Internet.
C. To encourage more people to climb Mount Kilimanjaro
D. To explain the importance of providing Internet service there.
35. Why is the Internet service good for climbers
A. Because they can make new friends online.
B. Because they can know the exact time.
C. Because they can buy things easily.
D. Because they can get help quickly.
36.What can we learn about the Internet service on the mountain
A. Tourists need to pay to use the service.
B. The Internet service may help bring more visitors.
C. Everyone supports the decision to build the Internet service.
D. Climbers now can use the service at the top of the mountain.

We celebrate World Earth Day on April 22 each year. It's a day to do the planet some good. Many people work hard year-round to protect the earth, including some young e and see what they've done for our planet.
Busy bees
There is a special club in North Carolina, the US. 9 kid beekeepers there are learning about bees and how to save them. Nine-year-old Yohsiah Crews is one of them. At first, he was afraid of being stung(蜇伤). “But not now," he says. His 15-year-old sister is also in the club. “Honeybees are super important," she says, “because one bee can visit about 2,000 flowers a day, which will help pollinate (对……授粉) a lot of crops.”
A smart sprinkler(洒水器)
When Adarsh Ambati was in sixth grade, he noticed something strange. The frogs in the small river near his house stopped croaking (呱呱叫), and green grass was turning brown. He realized his hometown was going through a drought. His family spared no effort to save water. But some of his neighbors always forgot to turn off their sprinklers. This inspired Adarsh to create a smart sprinkler system. It senses moisture levels(水分含量)in soil. It uses real-time weather information to decide when sprinklers should be turned on. With its help plenty of water has been saved.
Ride on
Nora Ball was nearly hit by a car at the crossroad in front of her school. Three years earlier, a student lost her life at the same place. For this, Nora decided to do something. She teamed up with Bria Brown in her class to set up a group to protect walkers. One of the group's goals is to help the planet and communities by making bike travel easier.“Biking can help decrease greenhouse gases. Plus, it's a good way to exercise and to enjoy the beauty of the earth, too!" says 17- year-old Nora.
37. What can Yohsiah learn in that club
The time to grow flowers.
Some knowledge about bees.
Where to buy natural honey.
How to make friends.

(

As teachers, we just love to encourage our students to try new things at a young age. 41 Learning new things at any age is important and it can help us become better.
Take myself as an example. I didn't start playing ice hockey until my early 40s. My son is a huge sports fan and he often asked me to take him to watch games between the big teams. 42 After a few months, I decided to give it a try.
To be honest, it's the hardest sport I've ever done. There was so much to learn. In addition to mastering skating skills, I also needed to learn how to pass and shoot. I saw a lot of players get on the ice and pick it up quickly and easily. But I was an exception (例外). 43 So I took a skating training course, then joined a hockey team and practiced hard in my free time. I finally mastered the skill though it took me a really long time.
44 Being bad at hockey helps me to understand those students in my class who have difficulty in learning English. I'm not stupid- it just takes me longer to learn and practice a skill before I'm able to do it. Some students are like that too - they might need to hear an explanation (解释) 3 to 4 times or need a few more days of practice.
It's good to learn new things, whether they come easily to you or with more difficulty. Maybe you didn't use the past year to improve yourself or to learn a new skill - but that's OK! 45
Gradually, I fell in love with the sport. However, I think this is a huge mistake. It won't be late to start anything at any time. But as adults, we don't often follow that advice. I was so terrible at skating, but I never thought about giving up. Learning hockey has also helped me be a better teacher in some way.

Peter kept his eyes on the ground. He felt like there was a heavy weight on his shoulders as he walked home alone. It was the worst day of his life. His mind would not stop thinking about what happened only just an hour ago on the school soccer field. How could he have missed scoring that goal He had let his whole team down. His stupid mistake made him angry. His team had lost the game because of him. He was really worried that his coach might kick him off the team.
As soon as he walked through the door, his father asked, “What's wrong, son " Peter's feelings were written all over his face. “I lost the game," Peter replied. Then he went into his room without another word. Ten minutes later, Peter heard his father knocking on his bedroom door. He opened the door to let him in.
“Look, Peter. I don't know what happened. But whatever it was, don't be too hard on yourself."
“I lost the game, Dad. I failed my team. They'll probably never let me play again. “Soccer is about team effort. You're not the only reason your team lost. If you have a good team, you should support each other. Besides, winning or losing is only half the game. The other half is learning how to communicate with your teammates and learning from your mistakes.”
Peter didn't say anything, but what his father said made him think carefully. The next day Peter (

To his surprise and relief, his teammates all nodded in agreement.
“Yeah," they said, “don't worry about it. It's never just one person's fault. We should think about how we can do better next time.'
Peter smiled. It made him feel lucky to know that he was on a winning team.

Dear Nancy,
Thank you for your letter. I hope my advice can be helpful to you! I know you are in a bad situation, but never doubt yourself! Please believe that you have a normal lQ like others.
Everyone is different from others and everyone is good at different things. So you shouldn't compare yourself with others, although I know it is not easy.
You must be very hard-working, but I wonder whether your learning methods (方法) really suit you. It's a better way to tell your teacher about your problem and your present learning methods. I believe your teacher would like to help you and offer you some learning methods. You can also study together with your classmates who are good at maths. Team study is really helpful.
In a word, the most important thing is that you shouldn't doubt yourself. Face your problem bravely and solve it!
I believe you can make it!
