学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________
一、阅读理解
This year, an unusual eight-day-long holiday will mark both the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day. Here are the upcoming films designed to entertain audiences during the break.
The Volunteers: To the War
The Volunteers: To the War, directed by Chen Kaige, boasts an all-star cast, shows the sacrifices made by China’s People’s Volunteer Army during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-1953). Production took over a year and involved a monumental scale. No other film captures the National Day spirit quite like it. The film hits Chinese screens on Sept. 28.
Under the Light
The crime drama Under the Light, directed by Zhang Yimou, also boasts an all-star cast. Zhang has described it as an exploration into fields he hasn’t dealt with before, characterizing it as urban, modern, and cool. The film will be released nationwide on Sept. 28.
Lose to Win
Directed by Gao Hu, Lose to Win is a Chinese remake of the 2018 Spanish film Champions, which is targeted toward audiences seeking lighthearted entertainment. The narrative centers on a conceited (自负的) basketball coach assigned to train a team of players with learning disabilities as part of his community service. Lose to Win opens across China on Sept. 28.
Moscow Mission
Moscow Mission, an explosive action film by Herman Yau, follows a cross-border manhunt, showing a horrible robbery and rape on a Moscow-bound train from Beijing.

I arrived home from work, my mind racing. I was scheduled to perform an experiment using a pricey piece of equipment, but I had spent the whole day worrying about the experiment which was on the top of my agenda, and I amazingly longed to shut off my anxious thoughts. So after dinner, I made a cup of hot chocolate, stretched myself on my sofa, and opened a page. Almost instantly, my mind left behind the details of experimental design and stepped into a land of monsters, magic dust, and man-like bears comprising a wonderful world distinct from my daily life. It was exactly what I needed.
Growing up, I was virtually never a big fan of novels. My classmates would be crazy about the latest Harry Potter book, while my copy sat collecting dust on a shelf. Instead, I would choose to read through the reference books related to my disciplines for better grades. After I started graduate school, extracurricular reading didn’t appeal to me at all but I spent most of my time on campus digesting research papers and textbooks and my mind couldn’t handle processing fact-filled nonfiction books at home, too. So I knew that I needed to find a way to enjoy reading again.
To help me stick with it, I made a New Year’s resolution: I would read two fiction books per month for the entire year. The result was an almost instant appreciation of fiction, along with many unexpected results including ones that have benefited my schoolwork.
What surprised me the most was how much I learned. Some of the best books I read were historical fictional stories happening in a realistic historical setting. I learned about life in different countries as well as struggles people there faced during difficult periods in their histories. The books have helped me build sympathy and understanding, with an unexpected benefit: I’ve started to think more deeply about the diversity of issues in the scientific community and could serve it, heart and soul.
4.What did the author do to wipe out the anxiety
A. He drowned it in chocolate. B. He escaped into a fantasy world.
C. He slept on the sofa leisurely. D. He conducted an experiment.
5.What does the author mean by the underlined part in Paragraph 2
A. Reading novels was a waste of time.
B. Reading a good book was time well spent.
C. He was too busy to take good care of his books.
D. The Harry Potter book wasn’t as good as expected.
6.How did the New Year’s resolution benefit the author
A. More sympathy went out to him.
B. His moral values were strengthened.
C. He learned much about religious diversity.
D. He gained new insight into his academic discipline.
7.What does the author think of the impact reading fiction books has on himself
A. Overestimated B. Underestimated C. Favourable D. Temporary
You’re passed over for a job. Your back aches. Faced with difficulties large and small, you wonder if you’re an unlucky person. We turned to experts to understand why we believe in luck and how we can have that belief to make changes in our attitude towards life.
Richard Wiseman, a psychology professor, doesn’t believe there’s anything magical about luck — it won’t help you or hurt you. “On the other hand, considering yourself lucky or unlucky is a way of seeing yourself, which has an impact on how you behave and how you think, and becomes a self-fulfilling anticipation,” he says. “So, in a sense, it absolutely does exist.”
The sociology lecturer Vik Loveday interviewed academic employees who were on temporary contracts, an uncertain situation that caused anxiety. In general, when one of these academics learned about good news concerning their careers, such as getting a permanent job, they would attribute it to luck. Because they felt they had so little control, a move in a positive direction happened almost by accident, rather than as the result of hard work.
In a 2021 study, Professor Woolley has looked at this idea in children and adulthood. For example, basketball player Michael Jordan would wear his college practice shorts under his National Basketball Association uniform for good luck. “Obviously, it’s that the superstitious (迷信的) custom gives him confidence and then he plays better,” Woolley says.
Is it possible to change your attitude towards luck to get better outcomes Wiseman believes some steps can improve your luck. He has found “lucky people not only maximize opportunities and know where they’re heading, but often they change course depending on how the wind is going”. Lucky people can also transform bad experiences to good. Specifically, you can shift your focus towards the positive by keeping a “luck diary”. Also don’t be a creature of habit. Watch a different TV program, speak to different people — even small shifts can be effective.
8.What does Wiseman say about luck in paragraph 2
A. It might be wise to try one’s luck.
B. Luck is a magical force to control us.
C. The belief in luck influences our behavior.
D. People’s well-being is determined by luck.
9.What is the example of Jordan’s lucky shorts used for
A. Confirming Loveday’s study.
B. Showing luck exists in real life.
C. Disapproving Woolley’s research.
D. Comparing different lucks in sports.
10.How can we improve our luck according to the last paragraph
A. Getting into a routine. B. Sticking to a goal firmly.
C. Setting down terrible things. D. Making changes flexibly.
11.What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Less Anxiety, More Luck
B. Good or Bad Luck Up to You
C. One Can Stay Lucky Through Life
D. Genius — the Mother of Good Luck
While Huawei’s official website does not call Mate 60 Pro a 5G smartphone, the phone’s wideband capabilities are on par with other 5G smartphones, raising a related question: As a leader in 5G technology, has Huawei managed to develop a 5G smartphone on its own
The answer is not simple. Huawei, as a pioneer in global 5G communication equipment, has played a leading role in the commercialization of 5G technology, with its strong system design and fields such as baseband chips (基带芯片), baseband processors and 5G modems.
However, basebands and modems are not the only aspects that define 5G wireless communication. The stability and high-quality signals of a 5G smartphone also depend on other critical components such as RF transceivers (射频收发器) and RF front ends and antennas (天线) . These components are largely dominated by four US high-tech giants—Qualcomm, Avago Technologies, Ansem and Qorvo—which account for a surprising global market share.
Huawei has faced significant challenges in getting critical components because of the sanctions imposed by the United States which are primarily responsible for the inability of the Chinese company to launch 5G smartphones in the past three years. However, Mate 60 Pro, despite not being labeled a 5G device, exhibits mobile network speeds comparable to Apple’s latest 5G-enabled devices, offering a stable communication experience. This suggests Huawei has, over the past three years, overcome the 5G development and production limits due to the US sanctions by cooperating with domestic partners, and establishing an independent and controllable stable supply chain.
Considering that Huawei has not explicitly marketed this device as a 5G smartphone, it is possible that it is yet to fully overcome some key core technological and componential shortcomings. For the time being, we can consider Huawei’s Mate 60 Pro as 4.99G. But when combined with the satellite communication capabilities of Mate 60 Pro, it is clear Huawei has been trying to find more advanced wireless communication solutions for smartphones and making significant progress in this attempt. This should be recognized as a remarkable endeavor, even a breakthrough.
12.What do the underlined words “on par with” mean in Paragraph 1
A. as poor as. B. as good as. C. worse than. D. better than.
13.Why was it tough for Huawei to develop a 5G smartphone three years ago
A. Its system design and fields needed to be updated.
B. It only focused on the commercialization of 5G technology.
C. It was unwilling to cooperate with high-tech giants in America.
D. It lacked critical components mainly controlled by US high-tech giants.
14.What does Paragraph 4 centre on
A. The US sanctions. B. Critical components.
C. Apple’s latest 5G-enabled devices. D. Progress in Mate 60 Pro.
15.What is the text mainly about
A. Huawei faced with significant challenges
B. Huawei’s Mate 60 Pro—a 5G smartphone
C. Huawei’s Mate 60 Pro—a remarkable breakthrough
D. Huawei leading in global 5G communication equipment
二、七选五
16.Professor Zhu Yunxia, an award-winning researcher and educator at the University of Queensland and has an international reputation in cross-cultural management and strategy, believes that anyone can learn to overcome cultural barriers with the right approach. She offers the following suggestions.
Be prepared for surprises.
One country might contain different cultures—China, for example, is composed of 56 ethnic groups—and within these, people may act in different ways in different contexts and with different groups of people. ①_________
②_________
While speaking the language is not necessary to understand the culture, it is important to know basic greetings and courtesies (客气话) for social interaction such as “hello” and “thank you”. These everyday phrases and rituals (礼节) are entry points which allow you to access the culture. People will also appreciate that you have made the effort.
Learn to “make strange”.
In day-to-day life, we tend to take many of our own customs and behaviors for granted without recognizing that these might appear odd from others’ point of view. ③_________
Use a “cultural bridge”.
The customs of another culture can be too strange or too foreign to understand. ④_________ “Cultural bridges” are people whose knowledge enriches our own and who can help us understand what’s going on. Having arrived as a Chinese student, Dr. Zhu has spent over 20 years in Australia but still sometimes seeks a second opinion from her daughter who was brought up here and occasionally calls up old friends for advice in China.
Don’t focus on yourself.
⑤_________ Instead of giving in to thoughts such as “I’m a stranger in a foreign land” or “Nobody talks to me”, try to forget yourself and focus on others. By taking a more positive approach, you can even find ways to use cultural differences to your advantage.
A. Learn the“cultural grammar”.
B. Consequently, wait for the unexpected.
C. Develop and expand cooperative awareness.
D. Sometimes an “insider” can help us to bridge the gap.
E. Be open-minded and always try to aim for a win-win situation.
F. Being too self-conscious can harm your ability to interact and learn.
G. Learn to look at situations with fresh eyes, starting with our own culture.

六、读后续写
34.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。
Missy was absolutely my best friend in the whole world. We had known each other since first grade, and we literally did everything together. We frequently visited each other’s homes, we knew each other’s families like they were our own. The interesting thing about our relationship, however the fact was that the older we got, the more our values seemed to differ. We still enjoyed a lot of the same things, but I was a bit more settled while she loved being associated with popular people and things. Although she was basically a good person, she had no problem with forcing things to go her way.
Perhaps this is why it seemed that her family actually trusted me more than they trusted her. So, on the day when Missy showed up at my house with a huge dent (凹痕) in her father’s car, I knew that we were in for a troublesome time.
She had banged the car into a tree while out that day, and she knew her father was going to have an explanation. So she stopped by my house in order to make up a story that would lessen her father’s rage. Missy decided to tell him that while in a parking lot, someone must have backed into the car and dented it. Looking at the dent with some crashed leaves and bark still sticking there, I attempted to perish (打消) her thought. “I don’t think your father will buy it.” “ Don’t worry,” she insisted,“even if my dad doesn’t trust me, he’ll trust you.” My role was to confirm for her. Now keep in mind that I had strong objections to lying and I wanted absolutely nothing to do with the situation. I loved her parents just like my own, and I did not want to be a party to this lie that Missy was creating. Nevertheless, after much request and a general questioning of my loyalty to our friendship, I decided that the least I could do was to act as a silent witness. That way, I wasn’t actually lying; I just wasn’t telling the full truth.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: An hour or so later, we presented Missy’s father with the car and the inquiry began.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Her father looked at me with great disbelief.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Good or Bad Luck Up to You“好运还是坏运气?由你决定”适合作为文章标题。故选B。
12.答案:B
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线部分所在句“While Huawei’s official website does not call Mate 60 Pro a 5G smartphone, the phone’s wideband capabilities are on par with other 5G smartphones(虽然华为官方网站并未将Mate 60 Pro称为5G智能手机,但这款手机的宽带功能与其他5G智能手机on par with)”可知,while引导让步状语从句,前后文是转折关系,因此推断尽管华为官网并没有说明Mate 60 Pro是5G智能手机,但是这款手机的宽带功能却与5G手机的功能一样好。因此推断划线部分与B项一致。故选B。
13.答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段的“Huawei has faced significant challenges in getting critical components because of the sanctions imposed by the United States which are primarily responsible for the inability of the Chinese company to launch 5G smartphones in the past three years(由于美国实施的制裁,华为在获得关键零部件方面面临重大挑战,这是过去三年这家中国公司无法推出5G智能手机的主要原因)”可知,因为缺少主要由美国高科技巨头控制的关键部件,三年前华为很难研发出5G智能手机。故选D。
14.答案:D
解析:主旨大意题。根据第四段的“However, Mate 60 Pro, despite not being labeled a 5G device, exhibits mobile network speeds comparable to Apple’s latest 5G-enabled devices, offering a stable communication experience. This suggests Huawei has, over the past three years, overcome the 5G development and production limits due to the US sanctions by cooperating with domestic partners, and establishing an independent and controllable stable supply chain.(然而,Mate 60 Pro尽管没有被贴上5G设备的标签,但其移动网络速度与苹果最新的5G设备相当,提供了稳定的通信体验。这表明华为在过去三年中,通过与国内合作伙伴合作,克服了美国制裁造成的5G研发和生产限制,建立了独立可控的稳定供应链。)”可知,本段的焦点是说明华为Mate 60 Pro的进展。故选D。
15.答案:C
解析:主旨大意题。通读全文,根据最后一段的“But when combined with the satellite communication capabilities of Mate 60 Pro, it is clear Huawei has been trying to find more advanced wireless communication solutions for smartphones and making significant progress in this attempt.

16.答案:①-⑤BAGDF
解析:①根据标题Be prepared for surprises.可知,本段讲述文化障碍中的惊奇,上文“One country might contain different cultures—China, for example, is composed of 56 ethnic groups—and within these, people may act in different ways in different contexts and with different groups of people.( 一个国家可能包含不同的文化——例如,中国是由56个民族组成的——在这些民族中,人们在不同的背景下和不同的人群中可能会有不同的行为方式。)”说明不同的文化背景下人们的行为方式会不同,因此会产生很多意料之外的事情,因此推断B项“因此,等待意想不到的事情。”符合语境,呼应主题,与前文是因果关系,故选B。
②空处是段落小标题,根据下文“While speaking the language is not necessary to understand the culture, it is important to know basic greetings and courtesies (客气话) for social interaction such as “hello” and “thank you”. These everyday phrases and rituals (礼节) are entry points which allow you to access the culture. People will also appreciate that you have made the effort.( 虽然说语言不是了解文化的必要条件,但重要的是要知道基本的问候和礼仪,如“你好”和“谢谢”的社会交往。这些日常用语和礼节是让你进入文化的切入点。人们也会感激你所做的努力。)”可知,本段建议了解基本的日常用语和礼节,作为你了解这个文化的切入点,因此推断A项“学习“文化语法”。”为段落标题,“cultural grammar”指代上文提到的“basic greetings and courtesies”,故选A。
③上文“In day-to-day life, we tend to take many of our own customs and behaviors for granted without recognizing that these might appear odd from others’ point of view.(在日常生活中,我们倾向于把自己的许多习俗和行为视为理所当然,而没有意识到这些习俗和行为在别人看来可能会很奇怪。)”说明,自己认为理所应当的习俗和行为,在别人或许是奇怪的,G项“从我们自己的文化开始,学会用全新的眼光看待问题。”符合语境,说明我们应该学会用全新的眼光看待问题,接受那些看起来奇怪的习俗和行为。故选G。
④根据标题Use a “cultural bridge”.( 使用“文化桥梁”。)可知,本段建议使用“文化桥梁”和上文“The customs of another culture can be too strange or too foreign to understand.(另一种文化的习俗可能太奇怪或太陌生而难以理解。)”说明其它文化习俗或许难以理解,下文““Cultural bridges” are people whose knowledge enriches our own and who can help us understand what’s going on.(“文化桥梁”是指那些他们的知识丰富我们的知识,可以帮助我们理解正在发生的事情的人们。)”提到了“文化桥梁”是一些知识丰富,可以帮助我们理解正在发生的事情的人,因此推断空处承上启下,D项“有时,“内部人士”可以帮助我们弥合差距。”,承接上文给出解决办法,insider指代下文的“Cultural bridges”,故选D。
⑤根据标题“Don’t focus on yourself.( 不要只关注自己。)”可知,本段建议不要只关注自己,下文“Instead of giving in to thoughts such as “I’m a stranger in a foreign land” or “Nobody talks to me”, try to forget yourself and focus on others. By taking a more positive approach, you can even find ways to use cultural differences to your advantage.(不要屈服于这样的想法:“我是一个在异国他乡的陌生人”或“没有人和我说话”,试着忘记自己,关注他人。通过采取更积极的方法,你甚至可以找到利用文化差异的方法。)”阐述了不要关注自己,要关注他人的办法,E项“过于自我意识会损害你的互动和学习能力。”符合段落主题,不要过多关注自己,故选F。

33.答案:
Dear Mr. Brown,
I’ve learned from our school paper that you’re looking for students as part-time editors. I’m sure I’m the right person for the job.
First, as a hard-working student, I have a good command of English, especially in speaking and writing. Besides, I’ve ever worked as a part-time reporter since I was at my middle school, so with much experience, I’m familiar with this kind of work. Last, I can work under pressure, which I think is a must to be an editor. For these reasons, I’m sure I can be equal to the job.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

34.答案: An hour or so later, we presented Missy’s father with the car and the inquiry began. Under a barrage of inquiries, Missy recapped her concocted story unhurriedly, while I stood there in silent agreement. After Missy finishing her seemingly perfect statement, her father raised his eyebrows and turned to me, waiting for my proof. However, once again, I chose silence under his scrutinizing eyes with my heart pounding violently. Suddenly, he walked over to the dented area for a closer inspection. It was at that point that pieces of bark from the tree that Missy had hit fell out.
Her father looked at me with great disbelief. An enormous sense of guilt rose up in me as his cold eyes seemed to proclaim me as the “guilty” bystander. I was so flustered that I wanted to explain but was interrupted by his harsh words, “You guys really failed me! Especially...” Instead of continuing his reproach, he took a deep breath and turned his back on me. It dawned on me that the precious but fragile trust had been smashed by my silence. In fact, the process of how we apologized to make amends was just a blur, but the bitter lesson of being a silent accomplice was branded on my memory.
解析:1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“大约一个小时后,我们把车交给了Missy的父亲,询问开始了。”可知,第一段可描写Missy用她编造的故事向她父亲解释,她父亲询问我,我却一直保持沉默。
②由第二段首句内容“她父亲难以置信地看着我。”可知,第二段可描写我内心的挣扎,既不想出卖Missy,又不想向她父亲说谎,我陷入了友谊和道德的困境。
2.续写线索:Missy和我是最好的朋友——价值观变得不太相同——Missy因损坏父亲汽车求我掩护——我做个沉默的掩护者——她父亲责备我沉默——我陷入做帮凶的痛苦
