The year of the Dragon begins on February 10, 2024. The Dragon is the fifth sign of the Chinese Zodiac (生肖). Dragons are not real animals. Chinese dragons can fly in the sky or swim in the sea. In stories, dragons rule over water, rainfall, wind and flood.
The Chinese dragon is a symbol of strength and good luck. The emperors of ancient China loved dragons. Their clothes were covered with pictures of yellow dragons. The dragon is very important in Chinese culture. We Chinese people are proud to call ourselves “the descendants (传人) of the dragon”. A number of Chinese sayings refer to dragons. For example, “Hoping one’s child will become a dragon”, which means hoping he or she will be successful.
Unlike in China, dragons are seen differently in Western countries. Western dragons often look like dinosaurs. They breathe fire and catch people. It is a common fairy tale about a man who becomes a hero after killing a dragon and saving a princess. In the English movie How to Train Your Dragon《驯龙记》, a little boy becomes much braver by killing some bad dragons. In one of the Harry Potter stories, Harry Potter has to fight against a scary dragon and get back the golden egg from its nest.
Because of this, some Chinese experts have suggested changing the English word “Dragon” into its pinyin “Long”. They believe the name “Dragon” makes Western people think badly about China. But some don’t agree. They think Chinese people can look after their own culture. Many Western people already know the differences between Chinese dragons and Western ones.
39. Which power of dragons is NOT mentioned in Chinese stories
A. They can fly in the sky. B. They can swim in the sea.
C. They can rule water and wind. D. They can catch and eat people.
40. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE
A. There are many Chinese sayings about dragons.
B. The Dragon is the first sign of the Chinese Zodiac.
C. Harry Potter becomes much braver by killing some bad dragons.
D. Emperors in China liked wearing clothes with red dragon pictures.
41. Why do Chinese experts suggest changing “Dragon” into Chinese pinyin “Long”
A. Because Chinese are proud of their own pinyin.
B. Because dragon makes Western people think highly of China.
C. Because Western people know nothing about Chinese culture.
D. Because “Dragon” in Western countries doesn’t carry the same cultural meanings as in China.

①A couple of good friends take an easy walk together through the streets. This is what many young people in China enjoy doing when they visit a new city.
②To them, Citywalk means “wandering around the city” on foot. People can go a special way. They can visit the old buildings, go to the local shops, have a cup of coffee or try tasty local snacks.
③Citywalk can be a special guided trip for a small group of people. The trip sticks to the key point: avoiding famous tourist attractions (名胜) and big crowds to have a deeper experience of the places you visit.

Xiao Yiyi is a young girl in Changsha. Recently, she sent six Citywalk plans in different cities on the Internet, with the aim of providing experiences for visitors to “walk in open-air museums”.

Xiao Yiyi said her group is usually made up of about twelve people. Her events last about half a day. As we can see, Citywalk offers people a new way to make friends.
⑥Citywalk is offering a positive change to travelers as they can better choose the experiences according to their taste and needs. At the same time, Citywalk brings a chance to tour guides and travel service providers to offer a more professional service.

Around the world, people are more and more worried about the environment. Many people now prefer products and companies (公司) that care about the earth and cause less pollution. This need for green products has led large companies to change their business.
Before, customers used cheap plastic (塑料) bags, and then threw them away.
But now most supermarkets and stores usually offer reusable shopping bags to them. This causes less waste. They also offer more local products, because less energy is needed for carrying them from one place to another.
To help lower air pollution, big car factories are looking for other ways to control the amount of oil. Cars that use much less oil are very popular. Many companies are also developing fully electric cars. They produce no air pollution at all. Both kinds of cars have another advantage: They are cheaper to run and people don’t need to worry about oil prices.
The airline companies face an even greater green challenge. Airplanes use much more oil than cars. So many airlines are now developing planes that can run on some other kinds of oil. They create less pollution and cost less. The companies are also developing a new kind of planes, and some of them use only solar panels (太阳能板) to fly!
Green businesses used to be popular with only a small group of people. But now, more and more companies have to show they care about the environment. Many products are marked “green” in order to look nice. However, people still have to be careful when choosing green products. It’s important to make sure the products are as environmentally friendly as the businessmen say.
46. What does the word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Local products. B. Green products. C. Cheap plastic bags. D. Reusable shopping bags.
47. What are the advantages of electric cars according to the passage
a. Using cheap oil. b. Making little noise.
c. Running at low costs. d. Producing no air pollution.
A. a and b B. c and d C. b and c D. a and d
48. The last sentence of the passage is written to ________.
A. show the green products are healthy B. encourage people to buy green products
C. explain the importance of the environment D. tell people to choose green products carefully
49. Which is the right structure of the passage
A. B. C. D.
50．What’s the best title for the passage
A. Green Is Cheaper B. Green Saves the Earth
C. Green Is Good Business D. Green Makes Life Easier

I am a skateboarding coach, I give classes to teenagers interested in skateboarding. I also founded (创办) a skateboarding club in Beijing.
I started to learn skateboarding at 16 when I tried it with a friend. I love the sport because it is a great way to express myself. I have the freedom to develop my unique (独特的) style, showing my creativity and personality through tricks and even the way I design my boards.
I hope to share my love for skateboarding with others so I founded the OBT skate boarding club in Beijing and became a skateboarding coach after graduating from college. It’s not easy to start a career like this. I faced many challenges, from financial struggles (财务困境) to making my parents see that skateboarding was a promising skill to learn. But I never give it up. Luckily, in the past few years, skateboarding has become more and more popular in China. More teenagers and parents come to my club to learn this cool sport.
The classes begin with basic skills, such as rolling, turning, stopping and balancing. But I hope kids take up skateboarding for both athletic (运动的) and personal growth. It’s common for my students to fall when they practice. But they need to know they will fail and fail again, but then they are going to get it. If they don’t try and fail, they will never grow and learn.
I am optimistic (乐观的) about the future of skateboarding instructors. In the past two years, more than 6 million people started skateboarding in China, and most of them are between 8 and 12 years old. With the increasing popularity of the sport, I believe there will be an even greater need for skateboarding coaches in the years to come.
