A
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.
（ ）21．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.
（ ）22．If you are interested in natural landscapes, which destination is suitable for you
A．Beijing. B．Xi’an. C．Guilin. D．Chengdu.
（ ）23．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
I am an active playgoer and play-reader, and perhaps my best reason for editing this book is a hope of sharing my enthusiasm for the theater with others. To do this I have searched through dozens of plays to find the ones that I think best show the power and purpose of the short play.
Each play has a theme or central idea which the playwright （剧作家） hopes to get across through dialogue and action. A few characters are used to create a single impression growing out of the theme. It is not my intention to point out the central theme of each of the plays in this collection, for that would, indeed, ruin the pleasure of reading, discussing, and thinking about the plays and the effectiveness of the playwright. However, a variety of types is represented here. These include comedy, satire, poignant drama, historical and regional drama. To show the versatility （多面性） of the short play, I have included a guidance play, a radio play and a television play.
Among the writers of the plays in this collection, Paul Green, Susan Glaspell, Maxwell Anderson, Thornton Wilder, William Saroyan, and Tennessee Williams have all received Pulitzer Prizes for their contributions to the theater. More information about the playwrights will be found at the end of this book.
To get the most out of reading these plays, try to picture-the play on stage, with you, the reader, in the audience. The houselights dim （变暗）. The curtains are about to open, and in a few minutes the action and dialogue will tell you the story.
（ ）24．What do we know about the author from the first paragraph
A, He has written dozens of plays. B．He has a deep love for the theater.
C．He is a professional stage actor. D．He likes reading short plays to others.
（ ）25．What does the author avoid doing in his work
A．Stating the plays’ central ideas. B．Selecting works by famous playwrights.
C．Including various types of plays. D．Offering information on the playwrights.
（ ）26．What does the author suggest readers do while reading the plays
A．Control their feelings. B．Apply their acting skills.
C．Use their imagination. D．Keep their audience in mind.
（ ）27．What is this text
A．A short story. B．An introduction to a book.
C．A play review. D．An advertisement for a theater.
C
When Alex Lin was 11 years old, he read an alarming article in the newspaper about e-waste. The article said that people were throwing away their e-waste in places it should never go. This was dangerous, the article said, because e-waste contains poisonous chemicals and metals like lead. These harmful substances （物质） can leak into the environment, getting into crops, animals, water supplies—and people.
Alex showed the article to a few of his classmates. They were worried too. But what could they do about this problem with e-waste How would they even start “The first thing we did,” Alex says, “was to learn more about the problem.” Alex and his friends spent several weeks gathering information about the chemicals in e-waste and their effects on humans. They learned how to dispose （处理） of e-waste properly and how it could be recycled. “Then,” he says, “we had to find out what the situation was in our town. So we sent out a survey.”
What they found shocked them: Of the people who answered the survey, only one in eight even knew what e-waste was, let alone how to properly dispose of it. Alex and his friends went into action. They advertised in the local newspaper and distributed notices to students, asking residents to bring their unwanted electronics to the school parking lot. The drive lasted two days, and they collected over 21,000 pounds of e-waste.
The next step was to set up an e-waste drop-off center for the town and to find a responsible company to recycle the waste. That was when Alex and his friends learned another scary fact about e-waste—some irresponsible recycling companies don’t break down the e-waste and dispose of it safely themselves. Instead, they ship it overseas to countries such as China and Nigeria, where local environmental laws are not applied. “We checked carefully online to make sure the company we chose didn’t do this,” Alex says.
Because of the work of people like Alex and his team, more and more people are getting the message about safe disposal of e-waste. As Alex says, “Today’s technology should not become tomorrow’s poisonous trash.”
（ ）28．What can we learn about Alex from paragraph 1 and paragraph 2
A．He was curious about chemistry experiments.
B．He possessed a strong sense of responsibility.
C．He set out to solve the problem individually.
D．He formed the habit of reading newspapers.
（ ）29．What does the underlined word “drive” mean
A．campaign B．imagination C．performance D．technology
（ ）30．Why did some companies transport the e-waste to other countries
A．Lack of available space was the reason for shipping.
B．Recycling was totally banned in their own country.
C．They were running their companies on a tight budget.
D．They were not charged with insecurely disposing it.
（ ）31．What’s the suitable title for the text
A．Reusing School Computers B．Recycling Electronic Waste
C．Meeting a challenge D．Doing scientific experiment
D
“Looking good, feeling good” is a common phrase, but for many middle school students, it brings up the issue of appearance anxiety. In a world where social media often sets unrealistic beauty standards, teenagers can feel pressured to look a certain way. This pressure can lead to a lack of confidence and happiness.
Dressing in a style that reflects personal taste, rather than simply following fashion trends, can be a step towards overcoming this anxiety. Wearing clothes that make one feel comfortable and confident can help boost self-esteem. It’s important for students to understand that fashion is a way to express themselves, not a standard they must meet.
Healthy eating is also crucial. A balanced diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, and grains, helps maintain a healthy body and mind. Sometimes, teens worry too much about their weight, which can lead to unhealthy eating habits. Learning about nutrition and understanding that healthy bodies come in all shapes and sizes can help alleviate these concerns.
Physical activity plays a significant role in mental well-being. Regular exercise, like playing a sport or going for a walk, not only keeps the body fit but also releases endorphins, improving mood and reducing stress. It’s a natural way to fight the anxiety that comes with appearance concerns.
Finally, it’s essential for middle school students to focus on mental health. Engaging in hobbies, spending time with friends, and seeking support when needed can contribute to a more positive self-image. Understanding that everyone’s unique and that real beauty comes from within is vital. Feeling good about oneself should come from personal achievements and qualities, not just from outward appearance.
（ ）32．What is the main concern addressed in the article regarding middle school students
A．Choosing the right fashion trends. “ B．Coping with appearance anxiety.
C．Learning about nutrition and exercise. D．Finding comfortable clothing.
（ ）33．According to the article, how can personal style in clothing affect students
A．It can help in overcoming appearance anxiety. B．It can lead to unrealistic beauty standards.
C．It pressures students to follow fashion trends. D．It results in a lack of interest in fashion.
（ ）34．What role does physical activity play in addressing appearance concerns
A．It sets beauty standards for students.
B．It mainly helps in weight management.
C．It improves mood and reduces stress.
D．It has no significant impact on mental well-being.
（ ）35．Why is focusing on mental health important for middle school students
A．It contributes to a more positive self-image.
B．It helps in achieving academic success.
C．It encourages following social media trends.
D．It increases interest in fashion and style.

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。
I always wondered how people would react if I tried to approach a stranger for help in a busy place like a street corner or in a bustling mall. I personally have hurried past a stranger who tried to catch my attention in a busy place.
Yesterday I had a taste of being stuck in such a desperate situation where you only hope of help would have to come from a total stranger.
I was in a busy shopping mall buying a large piece of luggage. After the purchase in one of the large and expensive shops, I picked up my phone from my pocket to call my driver waiting in the parking lot and my phone was dead.
I then requested the shop assistant selling me the luggage, which was not cheap at all, if she could ring the number of my driver for me. She replied, still all smiles, “I’m sorry Sir, but it is the shop policy that we cannot use mobile phones while working in the shop.”
As I was wondering what kind of policy that was, I saw a nice-looking teenage boy coming toward me. Remember my wife’s interesting theory that beautiful people are more likely to give you a hand when you’re in trouble, I thought I might have a chance. But before I could say a word, he walked past me. It turned out he simply didn’t see me.
I waited in the mall but it seemed nobody bothered to look at me. Disappointed and tired, I got out of the shop on to the busy street in front. I stood there with people rushing by, looking at their faces to see if they will show kindness to me. I began wondering how many times I had reacted to strangers like the shop girl and the teenager.
