Amazing China in 60 Seconds is a short-video series covering cultural and scenic hotspots across the country. If you are curious about China, then here are two selections from the series .
Tibet
Tibet autonomous region in Southwest China, home to the highest highland on Earth, is known as the “roof of the world”. It’s a paradise for tourists with its towering snow mountains, vast grasslands, quiet and peaceful lakes and breathtaking views. Must-visit places include the Potala Palace — a UNESCO world heritage site, Mount Qomolangma, Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon and more.
Tibet is also famed for its rich ethnic culture, including the Tibetan dance, age-old thangka painting and Lum medicinal bathing of Sowa Rigpa — traditional Tibetan bathing for a medical purpose which was put onto the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2018.
Jiangsu
East China’s Jiangsu province is a land of abundance where the symphony (交响乐)of the mountains and rivers echoes (回响). The hustle and bustle (熙熙攘攘) of daily life reflects its prosperity, and running rivers define its magic beauty.
Jiangsu province is home to several UNESCO world heritages sites, including the Classical Gardens of Suzhou, the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum in Nanjing and part of the Grand Canal. Jiangsu is also known for its graceful Chinese-style gardens, water towns, the Kunqu Opera and Nanjing brocade — an age-old silk handicraft that represents the highest achievement in silk weaving in China.

Kao chia-yu’s journey into music began at the age of 3, and he started violin lessons at 6 and piano at 10. According to Kao, Taiwan doesn’t have graded exams for music education as the mainland does. Instead, children from age 8 can choose government-organized exams, which give access to specialized music classes at school.
“I entered the music program in the 3rd grade through the exam. Students from this program have additional coursework related to music theory,” Kao told Teens. In high school, he still signed up for the music class, which allowed him to skip other subjects like math to devote more hours to music courses.
“This specialized and systematic nature of music education in Taiwan has trained many musical talents, such as Jay Chou and Ouyang Nana. They received strict music training at school,” Kao said.
The most challenging thing for Kao is finding a balance between music and academics. “People say that music keeps kids out of trouble, but we simply don’t have time for mischief(恶作剧)，” Kao joked. His days are carefully structured: completing homework during lunchtime or breaks, resting briefly at home after school, and then practicing the violin and piano. On holidays, he doubles his practice hours or seeks guidance from professional teachers.” But the many opportunities to perform on behalf of my school add joy and motivation into my sometimes boring routine，”Kao said.
After 14 years of music learning, Kao has found that the true essence (本质) of music lies in discovering one’s unique voice, allowing both the musician and listener to bury themselves in a musical world crafted through personal performance.
This summer, Kao joined the music program at New England Conservatory of Music(新英格兰音乐学院)in the US and performed with students from all over the world. Kao’s passion for music only continues to grow, displaying his technical practice for the craft and lasting love for it as an outlet for personal expression.
24. How did Kao get into the music program
A. By joining an overseas music program. B. By passing the government-run exam.
C By receiving strict music training at home. D. By showing his talent at a personal concert.
25. What is the biggest difficulty for Kao to deal with
A. Making time for mischief. B. Seeking professional guidance.
C. Managing music and academics. D. Representing his school in performances.
26. According to Kao, what is the nature of music
A. Creating personal performances. B. Exploring our special or unusual voice.
C. Adding joy into our dull daily lives. D. Having the specialized and systematic training.
27. Which of the following options best describes Kao
A. Modest and funny. B. Confident and reliable.
C. Hardworking and devoted. D. Determined and responsible.
C
It’s been nearly two decades since the traditional clothing style Hanfu first started to reemerge in China. Since then it has gone from a small cultural movement celebrating an ancient fashion to a trend that is booming on social media, having been adopted by China’s Generation Z as a means of connecting with their past. Instead of following other cultures blindly, Generation Z now have different opinions about what trend is by promoting local culture while having an objective view of exotic cultural products.
The new tastes of Generation Z—young people born after 1995—are well represented on Bilibili. In the recent New Year’s Eve gala presented by Bilibili, it attracted more than 100 million views within 48 hours with a colourful set of programmes ranging from Peking Opera to classical Chinese cartoons. The same is also true of movie industry. Last year, for the first time, the top 10 most viewed films in China were all domestic films, while the ticket sales for imported films have dropped to only 16.28 percent.
”Generation Z grew up with the rapid development of China and under good economic conditions. With the development of the Chinese Internet industry, they have more access to diverse international information and culture, which bring them a much broader vision and makes them more open and confident in analyzing foreign culture. Apart from taking pride in China’s rapid development, this generation also pursues individuality and values devotion to the country,“ Professor Zhang Yiwu said.
He also noted that the popular rock and punk culture pursued by the 70s and 80s generation is more of a challenge against real life and local culture. Some people who were born in the 1970s and 1980s did not grow up in the Internet age—they experienced the transformation of China going from poor to rich first-hand. This kind of longing and admiration of the West came from a lack of confidence.
However, Generation Z now have the confidence to look at Western culture with equal status. This kind of cultural confidence will result in China being more active and creative in its development on the international stage in the future.
28. What does the underlined word ”exotic“ in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Foreign. B. Fashionable. C. Traditional. D. Elegant.
29. Why is Bilibili mentioned in Paragraph 2
A. To confirm the rise of new media.
B. To promote Chinese Internet industry.
C. To highlight the popularity of domestic art.
D. To show the popularity of New Year’s Eve gala.
30. What do we know about Generation Z from the passage
A. They have a stronger cultural identity.
B. They are longing for cultural diversity.
C. They have made China develop rapidly.
D. They are more fond of foreign culture.
31. What can be a suitable title for the passage
A. Confident China, Better Future
B. China’s Progress Results in Cultural Confidence
C. China’s New Generation Redefine Local Culture as Trendy
D. Hanfu Style, Connector of Ancient Fashion and Modern Trend
D
After waking up, you may feel annoyed that you cannot recall the dreams you had last night. Artificial intelligence (AI) may be able to help.
Previously, there have been AI models that can turn text into images. They can do this by learning from a large amount of data from both tests and images. This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to recreate images based on people’s brain scans, reported Science magazine.
The researchers used an online data set provided by the University of Minnesota, US, which consisted of brain scans from four participants as they each viewed a set of 10,000 photos. The scans were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
The AI then learned about the brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the fMRI data — when a part of the brain is activated (激活), more blood will flow to it. It then matched the brain activities with the photos. Through this method, AI learned how human brains would react when seeing different photos.
Finally, the researchers tested the AI on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of a toy bear, airplane, clock and train. If the person looked at an airplane, for example, the AI would use the brain scan data to create an image of a very blurry (模糊的) airplane. Then, it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model and improve the quality of the image by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”. The final images were “convincing” with about 80 percent of accuracy (精确), according to the researchers.
The new study created a novel approach that includes texts and images to “decipher (破译) the brain”, Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University, US, told Science magazine. In the future, scientists hope that the technology can be used to record imagined thoughts and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals understand reality.
32. What do we know about Stable Diffusion
A. It can help train people’s minds. B. It can fully present people’s dreams.
C. It was created to draw people’s brains. D. It can produce pictures from people’s thoughts.
33. How did the AI system learn about human brain activity
A. By analyzing activities of human thoughts. B. By studying patterns of blood flow in the brain.
C. By recording brain scans from four participants. D. By examining 10,000 photos about human brains.
34. How did the AI system improve the quality of the final images
A. By employing a “text-to-image” model. B. By adjusting various brain scan data.
C. By combining additional brain scans. D. By inputting text from human observers.
35. What is the potential use of this technology according to scientists
A. To improve text-to-image models. B. To create more accurate brain scans.
C. To learn how animals view the world. D. To help people interpret their dreams.
第二节(共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When you write a text message or an email, you might put a smiling face or other pictures at the end to make the message more fun. These pictures are emojis. The first emojis were on Japanese mobile phones in the 1990s. Later, they were used on Apple’s iPhone and Android phones. _____36_____
Emoticon or emoji
Before emojis, there were emoticons. The word is a blend (合 成 词) of emotion and icon. Emoticons are made of the signs you can find on your keyboard, for example :-) for a smiley or @);-- for a rose. The first documented use of :-) dates back to 1982 and it was called “joke marker”.
Emoji is a Japanese word which means pictograph: e (“picture”)+ moji(“character”). _____37_____ According to Emojipedia, there are 1,851 emojis that can be used on mobile phones and other devices. There are all kinds of emojis, from faces and weather to things in the kitchen and animals.
What are emojis for
In English, we have a saying: A picture paints a thousand words. For many people, an emoji is like a punctuation mark or smiling at someone across the room. _____38_____ It’s like the tone of voice when we speak on the phone, or hand movements (gestures) used in conversation.
Emojis are also changing the way we write. The more we use emojis, the less we use slang, such as LOL, IMHO or OMG.
_____39_____
When someone speaks and looks serious, we try to look serious, too, and when someone smiles, we smile as well. This is how we show empathy and make friends (and enemies!).
But when we’re online, we can’t see the person’s face and there’s no emotion. The invention of emojis changed that! Scientists in Australia have discovered that when we look at a smiley face online, the same parts of the brain start working as when we look at a real smiley face. Our mood changes, and we try to change our face to match the emoji. This is something which we are not born with, it’s something we learn as we get older. Our brains have developed this ability over the last two or three years. _____40_____
A. How do they affect us
B. Now they are everywhere!
C. But where did they come from
D. Emojis are real pictures, for example, Or.
E. The “face with tears of joy” is the most popular emoji of all.
F. This means that emojis have created a new brain pattern in us!
G. A written message is black and white, but an emoji adds emotions to our messages.

When I was nine years old my greatest desire in life was to own a pogo stick(弹簧跳棍). I had recently learned to walk on a pair of stilts(高跷)my dad had made for me, and I thought that if I also mastered the pogo stick that surely the circus( 马戏团)would want to hire me for my incredible feats(技艺).“
When Christmas season rolled around again I told my mother that the only thing I wanted was a pogo stick. My mother told me they were way too expensive and that we simply couldn’t afford one. On a Saturday afternoon a couple of weeks before Christmas, my mom and dad told me we needed to go to Sears to pay our credit bill. While my mother and I were at the counter paying the bill, my dad said, ”I’ll be right back, I need to see something in the tool department.“
After the bill was taken care of, my mother and I went ahead and got in the truck. Soon my dad came walking out with a long thin box. I remember wondering at that very moment if it was a pogo stick in that box. When we arrived back at home, my dad put the box in the barn(谷仓). While my parents were busy with their chores, I snuck out to the barn and found the box. I was so excited and I knew that as soon as I opened that magical box, my bright, shiny pogo stick would appear.
No such luck! Inside the box was a silly old broom(扫帚). And so Christmas morning was both great and disappointing. I got some nice gifts but I didn’t get the present that I really wanted.
注意： 1.续写词数应为150词左右;

After all the wrapping paper was cleaned up my dad said he needed to tend to something in the barn.

Kao chia-yu’s journey into music began at the age of 3, and he started violin lessons at 6 and piano at 10. According to Kao, Taiwan doesn’t have graded exams for music education as the mainland does. Instead, children from age 8 can choose government-organized exams, which give access to specialized music classes at school.
“I entered the music program in the 3rd grade through the exam. Students from this program have additional coursework related to music theory,” Kao told Teens. In high school, he still signed up for the music class, which allowed him to skip other subjects like math to devote more hours to music courses.
“This specialized and systematic nature of music education in Taiwan has trained many musical talents, such as Jay Chou and Ouyang Nana. They received strict music training at school,” Kao said.
The most challenging thing for Kao is finding a balance between music and academics. “People say that music keeps kids out of trouble, but we simply don’t have time for mischief(恶作剧)，” Kao joked. His days are carefully structured: completing homework during lunchtime or breaks, resting briefly at home after school, and then practicing the violin and piano. On holidays, he doubles his practice hours or seeks guidance from professional teachers.” But the many opportunities to perform on behalf of my school add joy and motivation into my sometimes boring routine，”Kao said.
After 14 years of music learning, Kao has found that the true essence (本质) of music lies in discovering one’s unique voice, allowing both the musician and listener to bury themselves in a musical world crafted through personal performance.
This summer, Kao joined the music program at New England Conservatory of Music(新英格兰音乐学院)in the US and performed with students from all over the world. Kao’s passion for music only continues to grow, displaying his technical practice for the craft and lasting love for it as an outlet for personal expression.
24. How did Kao get into the music program
A. By joining an overseas music program. B. By passing the government-run exam.
C. By receiving strict music training at home. D. By showing his talent at a personal concert.
25. What is the biggest difficulty for Kao to deal with
A. Making time for mischief. B. Seeking professional guidance.
C. Managing music and academics. D. Representing his school in performances.
26. According to Kao, what is the nature of music
A. Creating personal performances. B. Exploring our special or unusual voice.
C. Adding joy into our dull daily lives. D. Having the specialized and systematic training.
27. Which of the following options best describes Kao
A. Modest and funny. B. Confident and reliable.
C. Hardworking and devoted. D. Determined and responsible.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. B 27. C

It’s been nearly two decades since the traditional clothing style Hanfu first started to reemerge in China. Since then it has gone from a small cultural movement celebrating an ancient fashion to a trend that is booming on social media, having been adopted by China’s Generation Z as a means of connecting with their past. Instead of following other cultures blindly, Generation Z now have different opinions about what trend is by promoting local culture while having an objective view of exotic cultural products.
The new tastes of Generation Z—young people born after 1995—are well represented on Bilibili. In the recent New Year’s Eve gala presented by Bilibili, it attracted more than 100 million views within 48 hours with a colourful set of programmes ranging from Peking Opera to classical Chinese cartoons. The same is also true of movie industry. Last year, for the first time, the top 10 most viewed films in China were all domestic films, while the ticket sales for imported films have dropped to only 16.28 percent.
”Generation Z grew up with the rapid development of China and under good economic conditions. With the development of the Chinese Internet industry, they have more access to diverse international information and culture, which bring them a much broader vision and makes them more open and confident in analyzing foreign culture. Apart from taking pride in China’s rapid development, this generation also pursues individuality and values devotion to the country,“ Professor Zhang Yiwu said.
He also noted that the popular rock and punk culture pursued by the 70s and 80s generation is more of a challenge against real life and local culture. Some people who were born in the 1970s and 1980s did not grow up in the Internet age—they experienced the transformation of China going from poor to rich first-hand. This kind of longing and admiration of the West came from a lack of confidence.
However, Generation Z now have the confidence to look at Western culture with equal status. This kind of cultural confidence will result in China being more active and creative in its development on the international stage in the future.
28. What does the underlined word ”exotic“ in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Foreign. B. Fashionable. C. Traditional. D. Elegant.
29. Why is Bilibili mentioned in Paragraph 2
A. To confirm the rise of new media.
B. To promote Chinese Internet industry.
C. To highlight the popularity of domestic art.
D. To show the popularity of New Year’s Eve gala.
30. What do we know about Generation Z from the passage
A. They have a stronger cultural identity.
B. They are longing for cultural diversity.
C. They have made China develop rapidly.
D. They are more fond of foreign culture.
31. What can be a suitable title for the passage
A. Confident China, Better Future
B. China’s Progress Results in Cultural Confidence
C. China’s New Generation Redefine Local Culture as Trendy
D. Hanfu Style, Connector of Ancient Fashion and Modern Trend
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. A 31. C
【解析】

【28题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词所在的句子“Instead of following other cultures blindly，Generation Z now have different opinions about what trend is by promoting local culture while having an objective view of exotic cultural products.”(Z一代不再盲目追随其他文化，而是在客观看待exotic文化产品的同时，通过弘扬本土文化，对什么是潮流有不同的看法。)可知划线词的意思与local相对应，所以A项“外国的”符合题意。故选A项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The new tastes of Generation Z-young people born after 1995-are well represented on Bilibili.In the recent New Year's Eve gala presented by Bilibili，it attracted more than 100 million views within 48 hours with a colorful set of programs ranging from Peking Opera to classical Chinese cartoon.The same is also true of movie industry.Last year，for the first time，the top 10 most viewed films in China were all domestic films，while the ticket sales for imported films have dropped to only 16.28 percent.”(Z一代的新口味—1995年后出生的年轻人—在Bilibili上得到了很好的体现。在Bilibili最近举办的除夕晚会上，48小时内吸引了超过1亿人次观看，节目丰富多彩，从京剧到中国古典动画片应有尽有。电影业也是如此。去年，中国最受欢迎的十大电影首次全部是国产电影，而进口电影的票房下降到仅16.28%。) 可知，Bilibili上包含了从京剧到中国古典动画片的节目吸引了很多人观看，这些都属于本土文化，可推断提到Bilibili是为了突出国内艺术的流行性。故选C项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, the Generation Z now have the confidence to look at Western culture with equal status.This kind of cultural confidence will result in China being more active and creative in its development on the international stage in the future.”(然而，Z一代现在有信心以平等的地位看待西方文化。这种文化自信，将使中国未来在国际舞台上的发展更加积极和富有创造性。)可知，他们以平等的地位看待西方文化，对自己的本土文化有更强大的自信，也就是他们有更强烈的文化认同感。故选A项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。阅读全文以及根据第一段主旨段“Instead of following other cultures blindly，Generation Z now have different opinions about what trend is by promoting local culture while having an objective view of exotic cultural products.”(Z一代不再盲目追随其他文化，而是在客观看待异域文化产品的同时，通过弘扬本土文化，对什么是潮流有不同的看法。)可知，本文主要讲述了Z一代不再盲目追随其他文化，对本土文化有更强大的自信，所以C选项“中国新一代将本土文化重新定义为潮流”作为题目最合适。故选C项。

After waking up, you may feel annoyed that you cannot recall the dreams you had last night. Artificial intelligence (AI) may be able to help.
Previously, there have been AI models that can turn text into images. They can do this by learning from a large amount of data from both tests and images. This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to recreate images based on people’s brain scans, reported Science magazine.
The researchers used an online data set provided by the University of Minnesota, US, which consisted of brain scans from four participants as they each viewed a set of 10,000 photos. The scans were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
The AI then learned about the brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the fMRI data — when a part of the brain is activated (激活), more blood will flow to it. It then matched the brain activities with the photos. Through this method, AI learned how human brains would react when seeing different photos.
Finally, the researchers tested the AI on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of a toy bear, airplane, clock and train. If the person looked at an airplane, for example, the AI would use the brain scan data to create an image of a very blurry (模糊的) airplane. Then, it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model and improve the quality of the image by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”. The final images were “convincing” with about 80 percent of accuracy (精确), according to the researchers.
The new study created a novel approach that includes texts and images to “decipher (破译) the brain”, Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University, US, told Science magazine. In the future, scientists hope that the technology can be used to record imagined thoughts and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals understand reality.
32. What do we know about Stable Diffusion
A. It can help train people’s minds. B. It can fully present people’s dreams.
C. It was created to draw people’s brains. D. It can produce pictures from people’s thoughts.
33. How did the AI system learn about human brain activity
A. By analyzing activities of human thoughts. B. By studying patterns of blood flow in the brain.
C. By recording brain scans from four participants. D. By examining 10,000 photos about human brains.
34. How did the AI system improve the quality of the final images
A. By employing a “text-to-image” model. B. By adjusting various brain scan data.
C. By combining additional brain scans. D. By inputting text from human observers.
35. What is the potential use of this technology according to scientists
A. To improve text-to-image models. B. To create more accurate brain scans.
C. To learn how animals view the world. D. To help people interpret their dreams.
【答案】32 D 33. B 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了日本大阪大学的研究人员训练了一种名为“Stable Diffusion”的人工智能系统，该系统可以根据人们的大脑扫描来重建图像，具有现实意义。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to recreate images based on people’s brain scans, reported Science magazine.(据《科学》杂志报道，这一次，日本大阪大学的研究人员训练了一个名为“Stable Diffusion”的人工智能系统，该系统可以根据人们的脑部扫描重现图像)”可知，Stable Diffusion可以从人们的思维中生成图像。故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The AI then learned about the brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the fMRI data — when a part of the brain is activated (激活), more blood will flow to it. It then matched the brain activities with the photos. Through this method, AI learned how human brains would react when seeing different photos.(然后，人工智能通过分析功能磁共振成像数据显示的血流变化来了解大脑活动——当大脑的一部分被激活时，更多的血液会流向它。然后将大脑活动与照片进行匹配。通过这种方法，人工智能了解了人类大脑在看到不同照片时的反应)”可知，人工智能系统通过研究大脑血液流动的模式来了解人类大脑活动。故选B项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Finally, the researchers tested the AI on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of a toy bear, airplane, clock and train. If the person looked at an airplane, for example, the AI would use the brain scan data to create an image of a very blurry (模糊的) airplane. Then, it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model and improve the quality of the image by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”. The final images were “convincing” with about 80 percent of accuracy (精确), according to the researchers.(最后，研究人员在这些参与者观看玩具熊、飞机、时钟和火车的照片时，对人工智能进行了额外的脑部扫描。例如，如果一个人看着一架飞机，人工智能将使用大脑扫描数据来创建一个非常模糊的飞机图像。然后，它会打开之前的“文本到图像”模型，并通过输入关键字“飞机”来提高图像的质量。根据研究人员的说法，最终的图像“令人信服”，准确率约为80%)”可知，该AI系统通过借助文字生成图片的模型来提高图片的质量。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The new study created a novel approach that includes texts and images to “decipher (破译) the brain”, Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University, US, told Science magazine.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When you write a text message or an email, you might put a smiling face or other pictures at the end to make the message more fun. These pictures are emojis. The first emojis were on Japanese mobile phones in the 1990s. Later, they were used on Apple’s iPhone and Android phones. _____36_____
Emoticon or emoji
Before emojis, there were emoticons. The word is a blend (合 成 词) of emotion and icon. Emoticons are made of the signs you can find on your keyboard, for example :-) for a smiley or @);-- for a rose. The first documented use of :-) dates back to 1982 and it was called “joke marker”.
Emoji is a Japanese word which means pictograph: e (“picture”)+ moji(“character”). _____37_____ According to Emojipedia, there are 1,851 emojis that can be used on mobile phones and other devices. There are all kinds of emojis, from faces and weather to things in the kitchen and animals.
What are emojis for
In English, we have a saying: A picture paints a thousand words. For many people, an emoji is like a punctuation mark or smiling at someone across the room. _____38_____ It’s like the tone of voice when we speak on the phone, or hand movements (gestures) used in conversation.
Emojis are also changing the way we write. The more we use emojis, the less we use slang, such as LOL, IMHO or OMG.
_____39_____
When someone speaks and looks serious, we try to look serious, too, and when someone smiles, we smile as well. This is how we show empathy and make friends (and enemies!).
But when we’re online, we can’t see the person’s face and there’s no emotion. The invention of emojis changed that! Scientists in Australia have discovered that when we look at a smiley face online, the same parts of the brain start working as when we look at a real smiley face. Our mood changes, and we try to change our face to match the emoji. This is something which we are not born with, it’s something we learn as we get older. Our brains have developed this ability over the last two or three years. _____40_____
A. How do they affect us
B. Now they are everywhere!
C. But where did they come from
D. Emojis are real pictures, for example, Or.
E. The “face with tears of joy” is the most popular emoji of all.
F. This means that emojis have created a new brain pattern in us!
G. A written message is black and white, but an emoji adds emotions to our messages.

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面短文, 根据所给情节进行续写, 使之构成一个完整的故事。
When I was nine years old my greatest desire in life was to own a pogo stick(弹簧跳棍). I had recently learned to walk on a pair of stilts(高跷)my dad had made for me, and I thought that if I also mastered the pogo stick that surely the circus( 马戏团)would want to hire me for my incredible feats(技艺).“
When Christmas season rolled around again I told my mother that the only thing I wanted was a pogo stick. My mother told me they were way too expensive and that we simply couldn’t afford one. On a Saturday afternoon a couple of weeks before Christmas, my mom and dad told me we needed to go to Sears to pay our credit bill. While my mother and I were at the counter paying the bill, my dad said, ”I’ll be right back, I need to see something in the tool department.“
After the bill was taken care of, my mother and I went ahead and got in the truck. Soon my dad came walking out with a long thin box. I remember wondering at that very moment if it was a pogo stick in that box. When we arrived back at home, my dad put the box in the barn(谷仓). While my parents were busy with their chores, I snuck out to the barn and found the box. I was so excited and I knew that as soon as I opened that magical box, my bright, shiny pogo stick would appear.
No such luck! Inside the box was a silly old broom(扫帚) And so Christmas morning was both great and disappointing. I got some nice gifts but I didn’t get the present that I really wanted.
注意： 1.续写词数应为150词左右;

After all the wrapping paper was cleaned up my dad said he needed to tend to something in the barn.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
After all the wrapping paper was cleaned up my dad said he needed to tend to something in the barn. When he came back in, he was carrying my beautiful pogo stick. I couldn’t believe how they could save the money for it and how they tricked me with the broom. So happy was I that I couldn’t let the pogo stick out of my sight. After going to bed that night, I kept my pogo stick on the floor next to me. It was a miracle that I didn’t fall out of bed because I fell asleep right on the edge so as to hold on to my pogo stick. My parents probably got quite a chuckle from the trick they played on me and I wonder if they were secretly watching me from the window as I snuck out to the barn to snoop for my Christmas present.
Although we didn’t have much money my parents gave me the most important gift of all, full of love. We had love and we had joy. My dad worked hard for us and my mother knew how to save the money. Although our home was old and small, it was clean and we always had plenty to eat and clean, warm beds to sleep in at night. Up to now I’ve still relived those cherished Christmas memories during the holiday season. My parents were the best and I will never forget all the joy and the warm feeling of pulling together that their love brought into my life.
