China is a colorful country with amazing places and cultures. In this blog, we will introduce five most attractive places that you can’t miss if you are planning to go for a travel in China!
Beijing
Beijing, the capital of China for over 850 years, is the first choice for many travellers. A perfect combination of classic elegance and modernity, it is the best Chinese destination to give you a better understanding of the country. You can wander around the Forbidden City to feel the dignity of the city; or you can walk along the criss-crossing hutongs and enjoy yourself in everyday local life.
Xi’an
If you want to feel the history of China over the past 1,000 years, you can go to Beijing; however, if you want to experience the 5,000 years’ history of this ancient, oriental land, Xi’an is the best travel destination in China. As one of the four major capitals of ancient civilisation (together with Athens, Cairo, and Rome), Xi’an is the home of Chinese civilisation. The Silk Road starts from here, stretching through West China to the Mediterranean.
Guilin
Guilin, a peaceful city lying in the hilly south-western area of the country, is among the top Chinese destinations for its extraordinary natural scenery. The unique karst landscape with its four features, namely green hills, clear water, fantastic caves, and oddly-shaped rocks, makes it a famous tourist attraction.
Chengdu
Visiting the lovely giant pandas must be on everyone’s to-do list when planning a tour of the best Chinese destinations. Many cities have zoos with space for pandas, but the best place to get close to them is Chengdu for sure! Visiting Chengdu is also a treat for food lovers. Jin li Street is a great place to have a taste of well-known Sichuan food. Besides, you can also enjoy the comfortable atmosphere.
1. What can you do in Beijing
A. Enjoy the oddly-shaped rocks. B. Have a taste of Sichuan food.
C. Walk around the Forbidden City. D. Learn the history of the Silk Road.
2. If you are interested in natural landscapes, which destination is suitable for you
A. Beijing. B. Xi’an. C. Guilin. D. Chengdu.

【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Guilin部分“Guilin, a peaceful city lying in the hilly south-western area of the country, is among the top Chinese destinations for its extraordinary natural scenery. (桂林是一座宁静的城市，位于中国西南部丘陵地区，以其非凡的自然风光跻身中国最佳旅游目的地之列)”可知，想要欣赏自然风光的游客可以去桂林。故选C。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“In this blog, we will introduce five most attractive places that you can’t miss if you are planning to go for a travel in China! (在这个博客中，我们将介绍五个最吸引人的地方，如果你打算去中国旅行，你不会错过！)”可知，这篇文章要介绍中国五个最吸引人的地方，现在才介绍了Beijing，Xi’an，Guilin和Chengdu4个地方，所以接下来还要再介绍一个地方。故选A。

Most of us learn how to ride a bike during childhood, but as we grow older, many of us stop riding. However, hundreds of thousands of people have participated in cycling in recent years. So the question is: what makes it so popular to ride a bike once again
First, let’s look at the health benefits. Cycling can have a positive influence on heart health and weight management. Also, it can strengthen your leg muscles too. Cycling’s benefits aren’t just physical, but mental as well. Along ride in the countryside could help you to clear your mind and anxiety. But it’s not only about your body and mind-there are also some plus sides for your wallet’s health.
Cycling can be an economical way to go to work or go around town. By cycling, you save money on fuel or train fares. If you do drive into work, sometimes finding somewhere to park can be a trouble, while finding somewhere to chain your bike up can be much simpler. Then, on the train, there are changes at stations and others speaking loudly on their phones to deal with. Cyclists face neither of these problems. And if you’re worried about safety, there are cycle lanes in many major cities. Wearing high-visibility clothing is another way to improve your safety when cycling on the roads.
Finally, cycling can also be good for the environment. It can help you to reduce your carbon footprint. Not pumping out smoke into the atmosphere is better for the planet. So, whether people want to cycle for their health, going around town, their wallet, the environment, or all of them-the popularity of cycling is on the rise.
4. What is a health benefit of cycling
A. Spending less. B. Saving time. C. Building lanes. D. Losing weight.
5. How does cycling help you to save money
A. By lowering telephone bills. B. By cutting fuel costs.
C. By increasing station changes. D. By solving train noise.
6. Why is high-visibility clothing advised to wear
A. To chain your bike up. B. To ensure your safety.
C. To avoid carbon footprint. D. To empty your mind and anxiety.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. The physical benefits of cycling. B. The ways to protect environment.
C. The development of transportation. D. The reasons for cycling popularity.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要讲述了自行车受欢迎的原因。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Cycling can have a positive influence on heart health and weight management. Also, it can strengthen your leg muscles too. (骑自行车可以对心脏健康和体重管理产生积极影响。此外，它也可以增强你的腿部肌肉。)”可知骑自行车可以减肥，故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“By cycling, you save money on fuel or train fares. (通过骑自行车，您可以节省燃料或火车票价。)”可知，自行车是通过节省燃料或火车票价来节约钱的，故选B项。
6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“And if you’re worried about safety, there are cycle lanes in many major cities. Wearing high-visibility clothing is another way to improve your safety when cycling on the roads. (如果您担心安全，许多主要城市都有自行车道。穿着能见度高的衣服是在道路上骑自行车时提高安全性的另一种方法。)”可知，穿能见度高的服装是为了确保骑车人的安全。故选B项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据原文第一段中“However, hundreds of thousands of people have participated in cycling in recent years. (然而，近年来有数十万人参加了骑自行车。)”以及“So the question is: what makes it so popular to ride a bike once again (所以问题是：是什么让骑自行车再次如此受欢迎？)”结合下文解释的原因，可知本文主要讲述了自行车受欢迎的原因。故选D项。
C
Language is a bridge that connects people. April 20 marks Chinese Language Day in the United Nations. On this day, people around the world celebrate the Chinese language. We invited two Chinese learners to share their stories.
Alex Tani, UK, said that at the age of 13, he started taking Mandarin(普通话) classes at school. “It was a subject that could make the classroom deadly silent because how difficult it was to learn. But when I arrived in China in March, 2021, I found that learning the language could be enjoyable.” He added, “After I moved to Beijing, I lived with the locals. As a language lover, I would try to chat with them in Chinese, sharing details about our daily lives. Sometimes we would also got to KTV together, where the learning took place. As I sang with native Chinese speakers, it finally began to click. This was an environment where I could immerse(沉浸) myself in the Chinese language and culture while still conveying myself.”
Jennifer Holstein, a girl from US, told us, “Since I started learning Chinese at the age of 5, it has been part of my life. At the beginning, it was challenging. After six years of learning, I could not put a sentence together correctly. But I never gave up. To improve my Mandarin, I moved to Bejing and took part in a special language program in a high school. The school day was busy. Each morning we got up at 6:30 and classes ended at 5:15 in the afternoon. We attended listening, speaking, reading and writing classes. Even gym and music classes were taught in Mandarin. Gradually I learned Mandarin quite well. When I had a good command of the language, opportunities started presenting everywhere. And I know my effort was worth it.”
8. What is the purpose of Chinese Language Day in the United Nations
A. To connect people around the world.
B. To solve the language problems effectively.
C. To have a celebration for the Chinese language.
D. To inspire Chinese learners to share their experience.
9. What does the underlined word “conveying” mean in paragraph 2
A. Warning. B. Losing. C. Dressing. D. Expressing.
10. What can we know about two Chinese learners

C. Alex Tani learned Chinese in a special language program.
D. Jennifer Holstein started learning Chinese at the age of 13.

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“April 20 marks Chinese Language Day in the United Nations. On this day, people around the world celebrate the Chinese language. (4月20日是联合国中文日。在这一天，世界各地的人们都在庆祝汉语。)”可知，制定联合国中文日是为了庆祝汉语。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“After I moved to Beijing, I lived with the locals. As a language lover, I would try to chat with them in Chinese, sharing details about our daily lives. Sometimes we would also got to KTV together, where the learning took place. As I sang with native Chinese speakers, it finally began to click. This was an environment where I could immerse(沉浸) myself in the Chinese language and culture while still conveying myself. (搬到北京后，我和当地人住在一起。作为一名语言爱好者，我会试着用中文和他们聊天，分享我们日常生活的细节。有时我们还会一起去KTV，在那里学习。当我和以汉语为母语的人一起唱歌时，歌声响起。这是一个我可以沉浸在中国语言和文化中的环境，同时也是在conveying自己。)”可知，这里是描述作者和当地人用汉语交流，所以conveying的意思应该是“表达”，和选项D意思一致。故选D。
【10题详解】

The school day was busy. Each morning we got up at 6:30 and classes ended at 5:15 in the afternoon. We attended listening, speaking, reading and writing classes.

D
A woodpecker (啄木鸟) is a type of bird with along sharp mouth. They use their mouths to make holes in trees. Usually, a strong hit to the head will normally give you a concussion (脑震荡). Woodpeckers, however, strike their mouths into trees thousands of times a day and are perfectly fine.
We used to think that the bone inside a woodpecker’s head worked as a kind of safety helmet which absorbed (吸收) the shocks. A new research by Sam Van Wassenbergh, a researcher at the University of Antwerp in Belgium, showed that this “commonsense” was in fact false. Van Wassenbergh and his colleagues argued that, if a woodpecker’s head absorbed the force, it would not be able to strike the tree with enough force. “If the mouth absorbed much of its own impact, the unfortunate bird would have to hit even harder,” they said in their paper. In other words, if the “commonsense” was true, the woodpecker would have to peck (啄) even harder to pay for both the shock-absorbing qualities of the bone inside its head as well as the concentration of the wood.
The scientists recorded four different kinds of woodpeckers in zoos as they were pecking. And the research suggested that woodpeckers don’t have any shock-absorbing device or the ability to reduce the amount of force. Although they are without “helmets”, the team said that the woodpeckers’ tiny size and weight protect them.
A woodpecker’s brain is about 700 times smaller than that of a human. “Smaller animals can deal with the damage of a sudden stop. Think about a fly that hits a window and then just flies back again,” Van Wassenbergh said. “So that is why even the hardest hits we observed are not expected to do any harm to their brains.”
12. What will happen if a woodpecker gets a strong hit on the head
A. It will stay totally fine. B. It will get a concussion.
C. Its bone will be broken. D. Its mouth will be sharper.
13. What can we learn from the research
A. The researchers agreed to the “commonsense.
B. The researchers recorded woodpeckers in the forest.
C. Woodpeckers are able to reduce the amount of force.
D. Woodpeckers’ small size and weight protect them well.
14. Why is “a fly” mentioned in the last paragraph
A. To support the researchers’ opinion. B. To explain the reasons for pecking
C. To describe how a fly hits a window. D. To show how small the fly brain is
15. In which part of a newspaper can wet md this text
A. Music. B. Nature. C. Business. D. Culture.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章以一项研究成果为依据向我们揭露了啄木鸟其实并不是我们过去认为的那样，头部有减震装置或减少力量的能力，并且得出了是因为它们微小的体型和体重使得它们可以承受撞击。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“Woodpeckers, however, strike their mouths into trees thousands of times a day and are perfectly fine. (然而，啄木鸟每天将嘴巴撞到树上数千次，而且完全没事)”可知，如果一只啄木鸟头部受到撞击，它会安然无恙。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Although they are without “helmets”, the team said that the woodpeckers’ tiny size and weight protect them. (虽然它们没有“头盔”，但该团队表示，啄木鸟的微小体型和重量可以保护它们)”可知啄木鸟的小尺寸和重量很好地保护了他们。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“Smaller animals can deal with the damage of a sudden stop. Think about a fly that hits a window and then just flies back again,” Van Wassenbergh said. “So that is why even the hardest hits we observed are not expected to do any harm to their brains. (“（体型）较小的动物可以应对突然停止的损害。想想一只苍蝇撞到窗户，然后又飞回来，”Van Wassenbergh说。“这就是为什么即使是我们观察到的最重的撞击也不会对他们的大脑造成任何伤害。”)”可知，最后一段提到“a fly”是用来支持研究人员的观点。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知文章以一项研究成果为依据向我们揭露了啄木鸟其实并不是我们过去认为的那样，头部有减震装置或减少力量的能力，并且得出了是因为它们微小的体型和体重使得它们可以承受撞击。因此本文是关于动物研究，与自然科学有关；由此推知，在报纸的自然部分我们可以找到这段文字。故选B项。

It was a long weekend in May 2018 and my partner, Gabe Rosescu, and I were taking a road trip from my home to visit friends in Nelson. We are both adventurous, and we couldn’t wait to go hiking and exploring. It was our first trip together after six months of dating.
At around 5.30 pm, we were driving on a steep (陡峭) mountain road. I was texting messages to my family and enjoying the view. We weren’t aware there had recently been flooding in the area. When I looked up from my phone, I saw a wave of mud (泥) and an huge tree quickly moving down the mountain, right in front of our car. Gabe tried to brake, but it was too late.
I looked at him and we both said, “Oh, shoot!” .The mudslide sent our car suddenly falling nearly 300 meters down a rocky cliff (悬崖) .It landed on its side among some trees.
I don’t know how long we were unconscious, but I woke up by the sound of Ga bemoaning (呻吟) .He was bending over the steering wheel and there was blood everywhere. Outside my passenger window there was a steep drop. I had broken my breast bones and my right ankle was broken. It was so painful that I couldn’t move my right foot at all. Gabe had broken his nose and cheek bones. Parts of his head were crushed (挤压) and his eyes were damaged. With the side doors and my window crushed shut, the only way out was through the driver’s side window.
We both managed to get out of the car. With no phone signal, all we could do was to scream for help. We were shocked when, after just a few minutes, we heard someone callback.

【答案】A Possible Version
Four climbers had found us and were approaching to rescue us. They helped Gabe make his way up to the road. Because of my injured foot, the men had to carry me. It was tough going as one can easily stuck in the muddy path. They had to carry me carefully enough to avoid sinking into the mud. Once they got stuck into the mud, they had to stop, pulling themselves out of the mud. This went on for about an hour before we were transported to the nearby hospital.
After weeks of treatment in hospital, we both recovered. I’ll walk with a limp for the rest of my life, and Gabe lost the vision in his left eye. However, the accident and incredible rescue has made us even more positive. We look at everything differently. Despite the injuries we sustained, we’re grateful that we’re still living a pretty good life. The experience also bonded us as a couple. We still go on road trips.

China is a colorful country with amazing places and cultures. In this blog, we will introduce five most attractive places that you can’t miss if you are planning to go for a travel in China!
Beijing
Beijing, the capital of China for over 850 years, is the first choice for many travellers. A perfect combination of classic elegance and modernity, it is the best Chinese destination to give you a better understanding of the country. You can wander around the Forbidden City to feel the dignity of the city; or you can walk along the criss-crossing hutongs and enjoy yourself in everyday local life.
Xi’an
If you want to feel the history of China over the past 1,000 years, you can go to Beijing; however, if you want to experience the 5,000 years’ history of this ancient, oriental land, Xi’an is the best travel destination in China. As one of the four major capitals of ancient civilisation (together with Athens, Cairo, and Rome), Xi’an is the home of Chinese civilisation. The Silk Road starts from here, stretching through West China to the Mediterranean.
Guilin
Guilin, a peaceful city lying in the hilly south-western area of the country, is among the top Chinese destinations for its extraordinary natural scenery. The unique karst landscape with its four features, namely green hills, clear water, fantastic caves, and oddly-shaped rocks, makes it a famous tourist attraction.
Chengdu
Visiting the lovely giant pandas must be on everyone’s to-do list when planning a tour of the best Chinese destinations. Many cities have zoos with space for pandas, but the best place to get close to them is Chengdu for sure! Visiting Chengdu is also a treat for food lovers. Jin li Street is a great place to have a taste of well-known Sichuan food. Besides, you can also enjoy the comfortable atmosphere.
1. What can you do in Beijing
A. Enjoy the oddly-shaped rocks. B. Have a taste of Sichuan food.
C. Walk around the Forbidden City. D. Learn the history of the Silk Road.
2. If you are interested in natural landscapes, which destination is suitable for you
A. Beijing. B. Xi’an. C. Guilin. D. Chengdu.
3. What will be written in the following paragraph
A. Another attractive place in China. B. The introduction to karst landscape.
C. Tips for travelling around the world. D. The contact information of a museum.
B
Most of us learn how to ride a bike during childhood, but as we grow older, many of us stop riding. However, hundreds of thousands of people have participated in cycling in recent years. So the question is: what makes it so popular to ride a bike once again
First, let’s look at the health benefits. Cycling can have a positive influence on heart health and weight management. Also, it can strengthen your leg muscles too. Cycling’s benefits aren’t just physical, but mental as well. Along ride in the countryside could help you to clear your mind and anxiety. But it’s not only about your body and mind-there are also some plus sides for your wallet’s health.
Cycling can be an economical way to go to work or go around town. By cycling, you save money on fuel or train fares. If you do drive into work, sometimes finding somewhere to park can be a trouble, while finding somewhere to chain your bike up can be much simpler. Then, on the train, there are changes at stations and others speaking loudly on their phones to deal with. Cyclists face neither of these problems. And if you’re worried about safety, there are cycle lanes in many major cities. Wearing high-visibility clothing is another way to improve your safety when cycling on the roads.
Finally, cycling can also be good for the environment. It can help you to reduce your carbon footprint. Not pumping out smoke into the atmosphere is better for the planet. So, whether people want to cycle for their health, going around town, their wallet, the environment, or all of them-the popularity of cycling is on the rise.
4. What is a health benefit of cycling
A. Spending less. B. Saving time. C. Building lanes. D. Losing weight.
5. How does cycling help you to save money
A. By lowering telephone bills. B. By cutting fuel costs.
C. By increasing station changes. D. By solving train noise.
6. Why is high-visibility clothing advised to wear
A. To chain your bike up. B. To ensure your safety.
C. To avoid carbon footprint. D. To empty your mind and anxiety.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. The physical benefits of cycling. B. The ways to protect environment.
C. The development of transportation. D. The reasons for cycling popularity.
C
Language is a bridge that connects people. April 20 marks Chinese Language Day in the United Nations. On this day, people around the world celebrate the Chinese language. We invited two Chinese learners to share their stories.
Alex Tani, UK, said that at the age of 13, he started taking Mandarin(普通话) classes at school. “It was a subject that could make the classroom deadly silent because how difficult it was to learn. But when I arrived in China in March, 2021, I found that learning the language could be enjoyable.” He added, “After I moved to Beijing, I lived with the locals. As a language lover, I would try to chat with them in Chinese, sharing details about our daily lives. Sometimes we would also got to KTV together, where the learning took place. As I sang with native Chinese speakers, it finally began to click. This was an environment where I could immerse(沉浸) myself in the Chinese language and culture while still conveying myself.”
Jennifer Holstein, a girl from US, told us, “Since I started learning Chinese at the age of 5, it has been part of my life. At the beginning, it was challenging. After six years of learning, I could not put a sentence together correctly. But I never gave up. To improve my Mandarin, I moved to Bejing and took part in a special language program in a high school. The school day was busy. Each morning we got up at 6:30 and classes ended at 5:15 in the afternoon. We attended listening, speaking, reading and writing classes. Even gym and music classes were taught in Mandarin. Gradually I learned Mandarin quite well. When I had a good command of the language, opportunities started presenting everywhere. And I know my effort was worth it.”
8. What is the purpose of Chinese Language Day in the United Nations
A. To connect people around the world.
B. To solve the language problems effectively.
C. To have a celebration for the Chinese language.
D. To inspire Chinese learners to share their experience.
9. What does the underlined word “conveying” mean in paragraph 2
A. Warning. B. Losing. C. Dressing. D. Expressing.
10. What can we know about two Chinese learners
A. Both of the Chinese learners are from UK.
B. The language environment is important for them.
C. Alex Tani learned Chinese in a special language program.
D. Jennifer Holstein started learning Chinese at the age of 13.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Chances Are for Preparing Persons.
B. Singing Is Good for Chinese Learning.
C. Learning Chinese Benefits People a Lot.
D. Communication Helps to Explore the United Nations.
D
A woodpecker (啄木鸟) is a type of bird with along sharp mouth. They use their mouths to make holes in trees. Usually, a strong hit to the head will normally give you a concussion (脑震荡). Woodpeckers, however, strike their mouths into trees thousands of times a day and are perfectly fine.
We used to think that the bone inside a woodpecker’s head worked as a kind of safety helmet which absorbed (吸收) the shocks. A new research by Sam Van Wassenbergh, a researcher at the University of Antwerp in Belgium, showed that this “commonsense” was in fact false. Van Wassenbergh and his colleagues argued that, if a woodpecker’s head absorbed the force, it would not be able to strike the tree with enough force. “If the mouth absorbed much of its own impact, the unfortunate bird would have to hit even harder,” they said in their paper. In other words, if the “commonsense” was true, the woodpecker would have to peck (啄) even harder to pay for both the shock-absorbing qualities of the bone inside its head as well as the concentration of the wood.
The scientists recorded four different kinds of woodpeckers in zoos as they were pecking. And the research suggested that woodpeckers don’t have any shock-absorbing device or the ability to reduce the amount of force. Although they are without “helmets”, the team said that the woodpeckers’ tiny size and weight protect them.
A woodpecker’s brain is about 700 times smaller than that of a human. “Smaller animals can deal with the damage of a sudden stop. Think about a fly that hits a window and then just flies back again,” Van Wassenbergh said. “So that is why even the hardest hits we observed are not expected to do any harm to their brains.”
12. What will happen if a woodpecker gets a strong hit on the head
A It will stay totally fine. B. It will get a concussion.
C. Its bone will be broken. D. Its mouth will be sharper.
13. What can we learn from the research
A. The researchers agreed to the “commonsense.
B. The researchers recorded woodpeckers in the forest.
C. Woodpeckers are able to reduce the amount of force.
D. Woodpeckers’ small size and weight protect them well.
14. Why is “a fly” mentioned in the last paragraph
A. To support the researchers’ opinion. B. To explain the reasons for pecking
C. To describe how a fly hits a window. D. To show how small the fly brain is
15. In which part of a newspaper can wet md this text
A. Music. B. Nature. C. Business. D. Culture.

It was a long weekend in May 2018 and my partner Gabe Rosescu, and I were taking a road trip from my home to visit friends in Nelson. We are both adventurous, and we couldn’t wait to go hiking and exploring. It was our first trip together after six months of dating.
At around 5.30 pm, we were driving on a steep (陡峭) mountain road. I was texting messages to my family and enjoying the view. We weren’t aware there had recently been flooding in the area. When I looked up from my phone, I saw a wave of mud (泥) and an huge tree quickly moving down the mountain, right in front of our car. Gabe tried to brake, but it was too late.
I looked at him and we both said, “Oh, shoot!” .The mudslide sent our car suddenly falling nearly 300 meters down a rocky cliff (悬崖) .It landed on its side among some trees.
I don’t know how long we were unconscious, but I woke up by the sound of Ga bemoaning (呻吟) .He was bending over the steering wheel and there was blood everywhere. Outside my passenger window there was a steep drop. I had broken my breast bones and my right ankle was broken. It was so painful that I couldn’t move my right foot at all. Gabe had broken his nose and cheek bones. Parts of his head were crushed (挤压) and his eyes were damaged. With the side doors and my window crushed shut, the only way out was through the driver’s side window.
We both managed to get out of the car. With no phone signal, all we could do was to scream for help. We were shocked when, after just a few minutes, we heard someone callback.
