In the countryside in Fuzhou, Fujian, there is a girl, her little brother, their grandma and a cat named Hua Juan. In the eyes of Hua Juan, the grandma treats the boy and the girl very differently — she saves milk for the boy and feeds him as if he were a baby, not paying much attention to the girl. One day, Hua Juan falls asleep and starts to have a dream. Everything begins to change.
This is the story told in the short film I’m Hua Juan, which explores a heavy topic -the traditional preference for sons over daughters. The film helped 18-year- old Zhu Manlin win the best director award at the 2021 International Teen Short Film Festival. The competition aims to encourage middle school students internationally to look at the world around them through images and pay attention to their position within it.
Zhu, a student at Fuzhou Senior High School, said she got the idea of the film from stories she heard. “Gender (性别) preference is still a common thing. Three out of the five members of our filming team have such families with older sisters and younger brothers,” said Zhu. “Many people may take it for granted, but not for a cat. I tell the story from the viewpoint of a cat to encourage the audience to take another look at reality.”
As the director and photographer, Zhu together with her teammates spent about two months writing the script (剧本), shooting the video and editing. She used several key scenes to show the grandma’s preference for the boy: more meat in his bowl, gentler words and interesting toys, while the girl is ignored and accompanied only by Hua Juan. The strong comparison can help viewers better emotionally connect with the girl and reflect on the unfavorable situation of other girls in the same situation. Zhu also set a scene in which the girl looks through the crack of a door and sees a part from the film Sister, which describes An Ran, a girl who struggles to pursue her own dream while having to raise her younger brother after their parents died in a car crash. “I want fewer girls to have to bear such burdens as An Ran and instead bravely fight for their own rights,” said Zhu.
While the theme is realistic, the visuals are artistic. In the film, real life is in black and white while dreams are colorful. Zhu also shot the film in a square format to give it an unusual feeling as well as a sense of seriousness. She wants viewers to focus on the main story, using close-up shots to resonate with the emotions of the young actors while ignoring other unimportant factors.
Zhu said her favorite director is Lee Chang-dong from South Korea, who cares about reality but also stays poetic. “I wish I could make such films one day,” she said.
4. What can be known about the film I’m Hua Juan
A. It has a theme of gender preference. B. It is adapted from a novel of the same name.
C. It took the team about half a year to make it. D. It is based on the director’s personal experience.
5. Why is the story told through a cat’s eyes
A. To make the story more attractive.
B. To explain what role pets play in our life.
C. To get people to look at things in a different way.
D. To connect the story better with a younger audience.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The problems Zhu had shooting the film.
B. The way Zhu directed and made the film.
C. The inspiration Zhu got from the film Sister.
D. The similarity between Zhu’s film and the film Sister.
7. How does Zhu attract viewers to the main story
A. By focusing on social reality. B. By using close-up shots in the film.
C. By shooting the film in black and white. D. By expressing emotions in a poetic way.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了《我是花卷》这部电影的大概内容、主题以及导演的拍摄过程。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“This is the story told in the short film I’m Hua Juan, which explores a heavy topic -the traditional preference for sons over daughters.(这是短片《我是花卷》中的故事，它探讨了一个沉重的话题——重男轻女的传统)”可知，《我是花卷》的主题是性别偏好。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Many people may take it for granted, but not for a cat. I tell the story from the viewpoint of a cat to encourage the audience to take another look at reality.(很多人可能认为这是理所当然的，但对猫来说却不是。我从猫的角度讲述这个故事，是为了鼓励观众从另一个角度看待现实)”可知，这个故事是通过猫的眼睛讲的是为了让人们以不同的方式看待事物。故选C。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“As the director and photographer, Zhu together with her teammates spent about two months writing the script (剧本), shooting the video and editing. She used several key scenes to show the grandma’s preference for the boy: more meat in his bowl, gentler words and interesting toys, while the girl is ignored and accompanied only by Hua Juan.

【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“She wants viewers to focus on the main story, using close-up shots to resonate with the emotions of the young actors while ignoring other unimportant factors.(她希望观众把注意力集中在主要故事上，用特写镜头与年轻演员的情感产生共鸣，而忽略其他不重要的因素)”可知，朱通过在电影中使用特写镜头将观众吸引到故事主线上来的。故选B。

Wherever we go, we are surrounded by history. Across the globe, cultural heritage is passed down through generations. It is in the buildings and structures around us. It is in the arts and artifacts (手工艺品 ) we treasure. It lives in the languages we speak and the stories we tell. But today, it is under attack as never before. Not only is the damage of time intimidating our cultural heritage, but wars, climate change, globalization and tourism are all exacting a heavy price. Technology is now the most important weapon in the battle. Here’s how technology is preserving our cultural heritage.
As you can imagine, creating the replicas (复制品 ) via crowdsourced 2D images is extremely time-consuming. Increasingly, artificial intelligence (AI) is being used to do all the required sourcing, allowing millions of images to be stored in a matter of hours. AI will also make restoration-and-preservation of existing cultural heritage far easier and much better than former methods.
Virtual reality (VR) technology will play a leading role in preserving our cultural heritage in the coming years. Many of the most important sites and architecture are easily damaged. Human interaction with these locations is doing a great deal of harm. Wastes left could be seen everywhere, causing many problems. As more cultural heritage sites and objects are digitally mapped and recorded, VR technology will increasingly become the way that people experience them. We’ll all eventually be able to walk through places, look at and touch artifacts and works of art without ever seeing them with our own eyes.
Finally, our cultural heritage will be preserved via technology. Efforts in research, innovation (创新), data sharing and project work will help promote and preserve the cultural heritage of countries all across the world.
8. What does the underlined word “intimidating” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Fading. B. Preserving. C. Recording. D. Threatening.
9. How does VR help to preserve cultural heritage
A. By recycling huge amounts of waste.
B. By stopping visitors touching artifacts.
C. By reducing human effects on the sites.
D. By educating people about the sites’ importance.
10. What is the author’s attitude to technology in preserving the cultural heritage
A. Positive. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Unsupportive.
11. Which can be the best title for this passage
A. How Technology Changes Arts
B. What Cultural Heritage Means to Us
C. Prepare for an Innovation in Technology
D. Preserve the Ancient with the Advanced
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了现代技术（AI和VR）怎样应用在文化遗产的保护上。

The United States space agency, NASA, says its Mars exploration vehicle recently recorded a high level of methane gas on the planet. The discovery is exciting because the presence of methane gas could support the case for life on Mars.
NASA’s Curiosity vehicle recently recorded the largest level of methane ever measured during its 7-year Mars mission.
Methane has no color or smell. A special instrument on Curiosity’s Mars Science Laboratory recorded the increased gas level. It measures levels of chemical elements and gases in the Martian atmosphere. In addition to methane, it can record levels of water and carbon dioxide.
Nearly all the methane gas found in Earth’s atmosphere is produced by living things. It usually comes from animal and plant life. But it can also be formed by geological (地质的) processes, such as interactions between rocks and water.
It was not the first time that Curiosity had found methane gas in the Martian atmosphere. About a year ago, NASA announced that Curiosity had discovered sharp seasonal increases in the gas. This time NASA said the measured methane gas level was clearly larger than any others observed in the past. “It’s exciting because microbial (微生物的) life is an important source of methane on Earth,” NASA said in a statement announcing the discovery.
However, Curiosity’s team carried out a follow-up methane experiment that showed a sharp drop in levels of the gas. “That number was close to the background levels Curiosity sees all the time,” NASA said. The rise and fall of the methane gas levels left NASA scientists with more questions than answers.
“The methane mystery continues,” said Ashwin Vasavada, Curiosity’s project scientist, “we’re more active in keeping measuring and putting our brains together to figure out how methane behaves in the Martian atmosphere.”
12. What can we know about methane gas
A It is highly necessary for Mars. B. It can easily be found anywhere.
C. It is mainly related to biological activity. D. It smells more or less like carbon dioxide.
13. What does the exploration on Mars indicate
A. Humans have known much about Mars. B. There will be more methane gas on Mars.
C. There is no progress in the 7 years’ research. D. The level of methane gas on Mars is changeable.
14. What does the discovery mean in NASA’s view
A. Life may exist on Mars. B. Methane gas on Mars is increasing fast.
C. The mystery about Mars will be solved soon. D. They know where methane gas on Mars is from.
15. How do the NASA’s scientists feel about the future exploration
A. Worried. B. Stressed. C. Confident. D. Serious
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。美国宇航局NASA，称其火星探测车最近在火星上记录到高水平的甲烷气体。这一发现令人兴奋，因为甲烷气体的存在可能支持火星上存在生命的说法。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Nearly all the methane gas found in Earth's atmosphere is produced by living thing. It usually comes from animal and plant life.(地球大气中几乎所有的甲烷气体都是由生物产生的。它通常来自于动物和植物)”可知，沼气主要来自生物活动。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“The rise and fall of the methane gas levels left NASA scientists with more questions than answers.(甲烷气体浓度的上升和下降给NASA的科学家们留下了更多的问题而不是答案)”可知，人类的探索告诉了我们“火星上的甲烷气体水平是不稳定的。”故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“This time, NASA said the measured methane gas level was clearly larger than any others observed in the past. “It's exciting because microbial (微生物的) life is an important source of methane on Earth,” NASA said in a statement announcing the discovery.(这一次，美国宇航局表示，测量到的甲烷气体水平明显比以往任何一次观测到的都要高。NASA在宣布这一发现的声明中说：“这很令人兴奋，因为微生物是地球上甲烷的重要来源)”可知，在NASA看来，这一发现意味着“火星上可能存在生命。”故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We're more motivated than ever to keep measuring and put our brains together to figure out how methane behaves in the Marian atmosphere.(我们比以往任何时候都更有动力去持续测量，并把我们的大脑放在一起，以弄清楚甲烷在Marian大气中的行为)”可知，美国宇航局的科学家们对他们未来的探索是“自信的”。故选C。

Whether you want to be a leader, coach or businessman, knowing how to give advice will help you. Here are some useful ways for you to refer to.
Tell a story.
_____16_____ Storytelling is how you make your advice human, related and real. Every great speech or piece of advice comes with a story. The story is what people remember and that is how they will remember your advice.
Have a good structure.
Just like a good speech, high-quality advice has a good structure, which makes your advice easier to follow and more likely to be remembered. Be logical(符合逻辑的)with your advice and structure it in a way that makes sense. _____17_____ Or you can think about the timeline in relation to your advice. What events happened first or what steps do you begin with
Use your own experience.
Many people tell stories but seldom include their own experiences. Your experience is the best advice you can give. No one has exactly the same story or experience as you, so that is what makes your advice truly unique. All of us have experiences worth sharing. _____18_____
Put in emotion.
The best advice contains your own emotion. Link your advice to emotion. It is another useful strategy to get people to take action. We all remember when we got emotional while giving a speech or when we felt the same emotion as the person. _____19_____ We have all felt sadness, laughter or else in our lives. So, put these into your advice if you want to influence your audience to make a real and rapid change.
Giving advice is a privilege(特权) and it should never be taken for granted. _____20_____ Don’t forget that.
A. We have special equipment to help others.
B. You can begin with the most important point.
C. Emotion is what can make your advice universal.
D. One suggestion is to keep your story long enough.
E. The only purpose of giving advice is to help someone.
F. Dry information doesn’t inspire people to make a change.
G. Your personal experience is more valuable than you think.
【答案】16. F 17. B 18. G 19. C 20. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了给出恰当的建议的方式。
【16题详解】
根据后句“Storytelling is how you make your advice human, related and real.(讲故事是让你的建议更人性化、更相关、更真实的方式。)”可知，通过讲故事的方式吸引别人倾听你，从而更容易记住你的建议，从而做出改变。所以选项F“枯燥的信息并不能激励人们做出改变”符合语境，且呼应标题Tell a story。故选F。
【17题详解】
根据前句“Be logical(符合逻辑的)with your advice and structure it in a way that makes sense. (建议要有逻辑性，并以一种有意义的方式组织起来。)”和后句“Or you can think about the timeline in relation to your advice.(或者你可以考虑与你的建议相关的时间线。)”可知，这里陈述建议的结构，可以按照时间线陈述。所以选项B“你可以从最重要的一点开始”符合上下文语境。说明建议结构也可以从最重要的部分开始。承接上文，与下文是并列关系。故选B。
【18题详解】
根据前句“All of us have experiences worth sharing. (我们所有人都有值得分享的经历。)”可知，这里陈述分享个人经历的意义。所以选项G“你的个人经历比你想象的更有价值”符合语境。关键词experience。故选G。
【19题详解】
根据前句“We all remember when someone got emotional while giving a speech or when we felt the same emotion as the person.(我们都记得有人在演讲时或者我们和那个人有同样情绪时情绪激动。)”和后句“We have all felt sadness, laughter or else in our lives. So, put these into your advice if you want to influence your audience to make a real and rapid change. (在生活中，我们都感受过悲伤、欢笑或其他别的情绪，因此，如果你想影响你的观众，让他们做出真实而迅速的改变，那么就把这些感受融入你的建议中。)”可知，这里陈述建议中加入自己的情感。所以选项C“情感可以让你的建议变得通用”符合上下文语境，关键词emotion。故选C。
【20题详解】
根据前句“Giving advice is a privilege(特权) and it should never be taken for granted. (给予建议是一种特权，不应该被视为理所当然。)”和后句“Don’t forget that.(不要忘记这一点。)”可知，这里陈述提出建议的目的。所以选项E“提建议的唯一目的是帮助别人”符合上下文语境，承接上文，下文的that指代设空处的内容，表示不要忘记提建议的唯一目的是帮助别人。故选E。

In the countryside in Fuzhou, Fujian, there is a girl, her little brother, their grandma and a cat named Hua Juan. In the eyes of Hua Juan, the grandma treats the boy and the girl very differently — she saves milk for the boy and feeds him as if he were a baby, not paying much attention to the girl. One day, Hua Juan falls asleep and starts to have a dream. Everything begins to change.
This is the story told in the short film I’m Hua Juan, which explores a heavy topic -the traditional preference for sons over daughters. The film helped 18-year- old Zhu Manlin win the best director award at the 2021 International Teen Short Film Festival. The competition aims to encourage middle school students internationally to look at the world around them through images and pay attention to their position within it.
Zhu, a student at Fuzhou Senior High School, said she got the idea of the film from stories she heard. “Gender (性别) preference is still a common thing. Three out of the five members of our filming team have such families with older sisters and younger brothers,” said Zhu. “Many people may take it for granted, but not for a cat. I tell the story from the viewpoint of a cat to encourage the audience to take another look at reality.”
As the director and photographer, Zhu together with her teammates spent about two months writing the script (剧本), shooting the video and editing. She used several key scenes to show the grandma’s preference for the boy: more meat in his bowl, gentler words and interesting toys, while the girl is ignored and accompanied only by Hua Juan. The strong comparison can help viewers better emotionally connect with the girl and reflect on the unfavorable situation of other girls in the same situation. Zhu also set a scene in which the girl looks through the crack of a door and sees a part from the film Sister, which describes An Ran, a girl who struggles to pursue her own dream while having to raise her younger brother after their parents died in a car crash. “I want fewer girls to have to bear such burdens as An Ran and instead bravely fight for their own rights,” said Zhu.
While the theme is realistic, the visuals are artistic. In the film, real life is in black and white while dreams are colorful. Zhu also shot the film in a square format to give it an unusual feeling as well as a sense of seriousness. She wants viewers to focus on the main story, using close-up shots to resonate with the emotions of the young actors while ignoring other unimportant factors.
Zhu said her favorite director is Lee Chang-dong from South Korea, who cares about reality but also stays poetic. “I wish I could make such films one day,” she said.
4. What can be known about the film I’m Hua Juan
A. It has a theme of gender preference. B. It is adapted from a novel of the same name.
C. It took the team about half a year to make it. D. It is based on the director’s personal experience.
5. Why is the story told through a cat’s eyes
A. To make the story more attractive.
B. To explain what role pets play in our life.
C. To get people to look at things in a different way.
D. To connect the story better with a younger audience.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The problems Zhu had shooting the film.
B. The way Zhu directed and made the film.
C. The inspiration Zhu got from the film Sister.
D. The similarity between Zhu’s film and the film Sister.
7. How does Zhu attract viewers to the main story
A. By focusing on social reality. B. By using close-up shots in the film.
C. By shooting the film in black and white. D. By expressing emotions in a poetic way.
C
Wherever we go, we are surrounded by history. Across the globe, cultural heritage is passed down through generations. It is in the buildings and structures around us. It is in the arts and artifacts (手工艺品 ) we treasure. It lives in the languages we speak and the stories we tell. But today, it is under attack as never before. Not only is the damage of time intimidating our cultural heritage, but wars, climate change, globalization and tourism are all exacting a heavy price. Technology is now the most important weapon in the battle. Here’s how technology is preserving our cultural heritage.
As you can imagine, creating the replicas (复制品 ) via crowdsourced 2D images is extremely time-consuming. Increasingly, artificial intelligence (AI) is being used to do all the required sourcing, allowing millions of images to be stored in a matter of hours. AI will also make restoration-and-preservation of existing cultural heritage far easier and much better than former methods.
Virtual reality (VR) technology will play a leading role in preserving our cultural heritage in the coming years. Many of the most important sites and architecture are easily damaged. Human interaction with these locations is doing a great deal of harm. Wastes left could be seen everywhere, causing many problems. As more cultural heritage sites and objects are digitally mapped and recorded, VR technology will increasingly become the way that people experience them. We’ll all eventually be able to walk through places, look at and touch artifacts and works of art without ever seeing them with our own eyes.
Finally, our cultural heritage will be preserved via technology. Efforts in research, innovation (创新), data sharing and project work will help promote and preserve the cultural heritage of countries all across the world.
8. What does the underlined word “intimidating” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Fading. B. Preserving. C. Recording. D. Threatening.
9. How does VR help to preserve cultural heritage
A. By recycling huge amounts of waste.
B. By stopping visitors touching artifacts.
C. By reducing human effects on the sites.
D. By educating people about the sites’ importance.
10. What is the author’s attitude to technology in preserving the cultural heritage
A. Positive. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Unsupportive.
11. Which can be the best title for this passage
A How Technology Changes Arts
B. What Cultural Heritage Means to Us
C. Prepare for an Innovation in Technology
D. Preserve the Ancient with the Advanced

The United States space agency, NASA, says its Mars exploration vehicle recently recorded a high level of methane gas on the planet. The discovery is exciting because the presence of methane gas could support the case for life on Mars.
NASA’s Curiosity vehicle recently recorded the largest level of methane ever measured during its 7-year Mars mission.
Methane has no color or smell. A special instrument on Curiosity’s Mars Science Laboratory recorded the increased gas level. It measures levels of chemical elements and gases in the Martian atmosphere. In addition to methane, it can record levels of water and carbon dioxide.
Nearly all the methane gas found in Earth’s atmosphere is produced by living things. It usually comes from animal and plant life. But it can also be formed by geological (地质的) processes, such as interactions between rocks and water.
It was not the first time that Curiosity had found methane gas in the Martian atmosphere. About a year ago, NASA announced that Curiosity had discovered sharp seasonal increases in the gas. This time NASA said the measured methane gas level was clearly larger than any others observed in the past. “It’s exciting because microbial (微生物的) life is an important source of methane on Earth,” NASA said in a statement announcing the discovery.
However Curiosity’s team carried out a follow-up methane experiment that showed a sharp drop in levels of the gas. “That number was close to the background levels Curiosity sees all the time,” NASA said. The rise and fall of the methane gas levels left NASA scientists with more questions than answers.
“The methane mystery continues,” said Ashwin Vasavada, Curiosity’s project scientist, “we’re more active in keeping measuring and putting our brains together to figure out how methane behaves in the Martian atmosphere.”

On March 16, 2020, my left leg was injured. After the operation, I realized I needed additional care, so I had to stay at the Kindness Home near my family. It was a very good experience to live there and discover firsthand what it meant to be in need of such a healing (治愈) space as the Kindness Home. I had never thought that I would need to stay there
Some of the boys there helped me a lot. They lived with me and cared for me as family. They were so kind and helpful. I liked them so much. I was also very thankful to my family for their unconditional love and care. They helped me a lot in recovery. I was also very thankful to all my friends for their continuous good wishes for my fast recovery.
I developed a healing garden at the Kindness Home during my recovery Planting flowers and various plants helped me heal. It had a calming effect to water them, care for them and watch them grow. The garden helped heal me. As I nurtured (培育)the garden, I was nurtured.
Slowly, time passed and my leg recovered. I started again to walk and do my work. I am feeling very calm and relaxed.
At the time of struggle and especially in tough situations, we feel the need of someone who can spend time with us and care for us. Their kind presence gives me so much strength and support, and it is also true that those are people we can’t hire from the market or any other places. They just exist in our hearts and in our family and friends. They never come for money or pride. They just need our love and friendship. I decided to do something to show thanks to those who had helped me.
