On September 29, 2019, two days before the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, 89-year-old Yuan Longping was awarded the Medal of the Republic, the country’s highest honor for his extraordinary contribution to the nation’s food security, the development of agricultural science, and global food supply. “A tiny grain could either save a country or bring it down. The importance of food security should never be underestimated,” said Yuan, academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering.
The 2019 State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World report shows that over 820 million people are suffering from hunger and the world is facing huge challenges in achieving the sustainable development goal of zero hunger by 2030. According to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization, there are four factors in food security: physical availability of food, economic and physical access to food, food use, and stability of the other three factors over time. Between 1979 and 2005, China received food aid from the UN World Food Program (WFP) which benefited over 30 million people nationwide. Starting from 2016, however, the partnership between China and the WFP witnessed a total transformation: China turned from a major aid recipient to a leading aid donor, supporting millions of malnourished (营养不良的) people beyond its borders.
Innovation (创新) in science and technology is one of the driving forces behind this change. Yuan is considered a pioneer in the field of food science and technology. He has dedicated himself to the research, application and promotion of hybrid rice for decades. The super hybrid rice that his team cultivated can yield nearly 18.1 ton per hectare, setting a new world record. Hence, Yuan is regarded as the “father of hybrid rice.”
“Food safety is of very importance to the national economy and people’s livelihood. As an agronomist, I felt that I should focus on this area,” Yuan told CGTN. “My biggest hope is to make sure that the ‘rice bowl’ is firmly held in our own hands so that we, as a country, can feed ourselves.”
24. What do we know about Yuan from the first paragraph
A．He gained much support from WFP.
B．He contributed a lot to global food supply.
C．He changed people’s wrong ideas on food security.
D．He won the Medal of the Republic for the second time.
25. What does the author think of the aim of zero hunger by 2030
A．Impractical. B．Impossible.
C．Necessary. D．Difficult.
26. According to this passage, what has happened to China since 2016
A．China has helped many countries a lot in food supply.
B．China has still received food supply from the UN.
C．There have been no malnourished people.
D．There have been no problems of food safety.
27. Which is Yuan Longping’s main dream
A．Food safety is no more a problem.
B．He can improve people’s livelihood.
C．China can feed itself all by itself.
D．He has more innovation in food.
C
We were standing at the top of a church tower. I saw twisting streets leading to the square. “See, my dear,” Father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square.”
Father’s words always guided me. Dreaming of becoming a fashion designer, I came to Paris, but without luck. Then one day I met a friend wearing a beautiful sweater. “What an interesting stitch!” I cried. “It was done by Mrs. Vidian,” my friend explained. “She learned the stitch in Armenia, her native country.” Suddenly I had a daring idea. Why not design, make and sell my own clothes
I drew a butterfly pattern and asked Mrs. Vidian to knit it into a sweater. It proved a success. A New York store wanted 40 sweaters to be ready in two weeks. I accepted the order. My happiness disappeared, however, when Mrs. Vidian told me it took her almost a week to knit one sweater.
I was crushed. Then I remembered father’s words. There must be other Armenian women in Paris who mastered the special stitch. Then I searched for any Armenians living in Paris. At last I tracked down several. Two weeks later, the first shipment was on its way to the United States!
From that day on orders poured in. Then came another test. As I was busy getting ready to show my winter fashions, the sewing girls were called out on strike. Where was the way out this time I wondered and worried. Then it dawned on me.
I worked hurriedly. And right on time, my show took place. Some coats had no sleeves; some were only patterns made of heavy cotton cloth, but on these I attached material to show what colors and textures the clothes would have when they were finished. What a show! Once again father’s words helped me.
28. What problem did the writer face after accepting the order
A．It was impossible for Vidian to meet the deadline.
B．The sewing girls were called out on strike.
C．She found it hard to track Armenians living in Paris.
D．There was a shortage of suitable cloth.
29. What do the underlined words “the first shipment” refer to in Paragraph 4
A．Raw materials. B．More orders.
C．The forty sweaters. D．The special stitch.
30. How did the writer deal with the show problem
A．She put off the show. B．She showed the clothes unfinished.
C．She employed more sewing girls. D．She completed the clothes in a hurry.
31. Which of the following might the writer agree with
A．Practice makes perfect. B．Like father, like son.
C．Easier said than done. D．All roads lead to Rome.
D
Body language is a powerful means of communication used by both humans and animals. Through gestures, facial expressions, and postures, individuals express emotions, intentions, and establish social connections. This nonverbal form of communication plays a crucial role in promoting understanding and establishing strong relationships.
In the human world, body language is an essential part of daily interactions. A smile can instantly convey happiness and friendliness, while a furrowed brow may signify worry or confusion. Even slight changes in posture can communicate confidence or depression. By paying attention to these nonverbal signals, individuals can better understand the underlying emotions and thoughts of others, thus strengthening their ability to understand and connect with each other.
Interestingly, animals also rely heavily on body language to communicate within their own species and even across different species. For instance, a wagging tail in a dog usually means excitement or happiness. Similarly, puffed-up feathers in birds can indicate attacks, while a relaxed body posture may suggest satisfaction. By understanding these signals, animals can effectively convey messages and establish social classes, ultimately improving their chances of survival and successful reproduction.
Furthermore, body language often overcomes language barriers, enabling communication between individuals who do not share a common language. This is particularly important in diverse societies or in situations where verbal communication is not possible. In such cases, gestures, facial expressions, and body movements become fundamental in conveying messages and building connections.
Nonetheless, it is essential to recognize that body language is not always the same. Cultural differences and individual personality traits can affect the interpretation of certain gestures and expressions. For example, direct eye contact is generally considered a sign of respect and focus in Western cultures, while it may be seen as a challenge or disrespect in other cultures. Therefore, it is crucial to be mindful of these differences when interpreting body language in cross-cultural communication.
32. What can we learn about body language from paragraph 1
A. It is only used by humans.
B. It is limited to verbal communication.
C. It can express emotions and intentions.
D. It is ineffective in bridging language barriers.
33. What does the underlined word “depression” mean in paragraph2
A. Being proud. B. Losing heart.
C. Discomfort. D. Curiosity.
34. Why is body language important in diverse societies
A. It bridges language barriers.
B. It helps establish social classes.
C It is the primary form of communication.
D. It removes the need for verbal communication.
35. Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Animals rely only on verbal communication.
B. Body language is universally interpreted the same way.
C. Understanding body language can lead to successful reproduction.
D. Cultural differences can affect the interpretation of body language.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Amy and I had been best friends since primary school and spent almost every day with each other. Sometimes, other children said we were no fun because we were both very academic(学术的) and liked to study, but we liked it that way. Both of us were very hard-working and always got good grades at school.
I thought we would be like this forever, however, our friendship was on the rocks recently.
One Monday, we had a surprise math quiz. I thought it was quite easy and was not worried about the results.
I must have sounded very proud of myself after the quiz, saying how easy it was and how I was sure to get a good grade. And many classmates looked at me with admiration.
The next day after class, my math teacher told me that I had the lowest grade in the class! I felt so ashamed and couldn’t believe it; I must be really stupid to fail a simple math quiz!
Afterwards, I pretended to be cheerful and greeted others with a smile as usual, but Amy sensed something was wrong.
We went to wash our hands in the girls’ washroom before lunch. She patted me on the shoulder and asked me what happened. Seeing her concerned look, I had to admit how badly I had done in the math quiz. I begged her not to tell anyone else, and couldn’t help sobbing (啜泣). She held me tightly, saying she would keep my secret, and cheered me up.
However, the next day, I noticed that my classmates were staring at me as I came into math class, when I went to sit down, I was shocked to find a piece of paper on my desk that said, “...Stupid Sarah got a D!” I was so upset that I felt like crying.

Dear David,
I’m more than delighted to share my opinion, which I hope will be of some help to you. Frankly, I hold the view that it makes good sense to study abroad. The reasons are as follows.
To begin with, exposure to a foreign language setting while we are studying abroad makes learning process interesting and effective. Moreover, bathed in a different culture of a foreign country, we can gain great insights into the world. Finally, studying abroad takes us out of our comfort zone and changes us for the better, which is the most important in my view.
All things considered, I hope you can choose to study abroad and start a new life.
Yours,
Li Hua .

Paragraph 1:
Then I began to cry, wondering who let out my secret—was it Amy Yes, it must be her since I didn’t tell anyone else. I was so angry that I went straight to Amy and told her we weren’t going to be friends any more because she couldn’t keep her word. She was really upset and swore (发誓) that she hadn’t told anyone. I didn’t believe what she had said and began to avoid her. Several days later, another classmate Alice told me that it was another girl who let out my secret after overhearing (偷听) our talk that day.
Paragraph 2: When hearing the truth from Alice, I was shocked and couldn’t wait to find Amy to apologize. My mind quickly raced back to the happy moments when Amy and I were together. I couldn’t deny how I missed her these days when I struggled to ignore her. How I wished I hadn’t said such words to her. My heart was pounding when I approached her. “Could you forgive me, Amy ” Dropping my head, I dared not see her. A warm hand held mine and her familiar smile appeared again. With tears streaming down my face, I felt a wave of happiness flooded me. Mutual trust is the secret to lasting friendship.
