Kiara Lynn Garcia Hernandez, an American, went to Nan’ao in Dapeng New Area to learn how to make zongzi to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival from Zhang, the fourth-generation inheritor (继承者) of the Nan’ao sea urchin (海胆) zongzi cooking skills.
Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated to honor Qu Yuan, a famous poet who threw himself into a river sadly when he was unable to help his homeland. Zongzi is a special snack for this Chinese festival. Zhang told Hernandez stories about sea urchin zongzi-making traditions in Nan’ao and how the local zongzi has gained (获取) popularity around the whole country. Hernandez followed Zhang’s instructions step by step: positioning leaves, filling with sticky rice, peanuts and fresh sea urchin, wrapping leaves and tying the zongzi with strings (绳).
Hernandez said, “it shows that people care about the environment here and are remembering where they come from. I think it is important to show other people the culture and continue passing on the sea urchin zongzi cooking skills as an intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产). People take a lot of pride in this,” she said.
Before saying goodbye, Zhang gave the American a box of sea urchin zongzi as a gift. “I was thinking about how to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival with friends. Now I can share it with my friends.” Hernandez believes she can help others with her Chinese background.

Li Zihan is a 13-year-old girl from Beijing. These days, she and her friends have been doing unusual things. They imagine themselves to be fairies and dance in their bathrooms. Li even dyed（染色）her mother’s white dress blue, believing that it would look better.
“We might have the so-called “chuunibyou”（中二病）, thinking we are so different and having a bunch of（一连串）crazy ideas,” Li said. “I have to say it’s a little funny and silly.”
Chuunibyou comes from Japanese. Japanese radio host Hikaru Ijuin first used the word “chuunibyou” during a radio program in 1999. It means “Middle School Second Year Syndrome（综合征）”. Teenagers around 13 or 14 years old are more likely to have it, but it can happen to people of any age. “Chuunis” often act as if they knew everything. They believe they are cooler than other people and can do great things. Some even believe they have special powers and are destined（命中注定的）to save the world.
Wang Liren, a professor at Northeast Normal University, said that when students reach puberty（青春期）, they become eager（渴望的）to show that they are different and independent. Sometimes they overdo it. That is where chuunibyou comes from.
But chuunibyou doesn’t really need to be treated（治疗）. It’s just a phase（阶段）of growth that many people may experience. Although it is silly, it shows the passion（激情）that young people have and the possibilities they dream of. There are many chuunibyou teenagers in anime（动漫）and TV series. They may seem silly, but they can also be inspiring.
56. Li Zihan had a lot of crazy ideas except ________.
A. imagining herself to be fairies
B. dying her mother’s white dress blue

58. What can we know from the last paragraph
A. Someone who has chuunibyou must go to see the doctor.
B. The chuunibyou people may be passionate and inspiring.
C. Only in anime and TV series can we see chuunibyou teenagers.
D. Puberty is a dangerous phase that each one has to experience.

Many of us have this experience: we lie down in a bed, not our own, maybe at a friend’s house or in a hotel room, and find it difficult or impossible to fall asleep. Is it because the bed is uncomfortable Maybe, but perhaps there can be other reasons.
According to a new study in Current Biology, an important reason is what the scientists call “first night effect (效应)”. They believe that it is because one side of the brains is more active. It forces us to stay awake on the first night in a new environment. The effect acts as a “night watch” to protect us from potential (潜在的) danger.
For the study, 35 young volunteers were asked to sleep in a sleep lab for several days. At the same time, researchers watched their brain activities.
According to the researchers, on their first night, the left brains were more active than the right brains and people had a hard time sleeping. However, left-brain activity reduced (减少) as days went by, falling even to the point of complete peace. In this process, the volunteers got an increasingly better sleep experience.
“At some level, the brain is continuing to analyze things, even though you can’t realize it.” US professor Jerome Siegel told Smith Sonian Magazine, “If something unusual happens—if a door opens or you hear a key in a lock—you can be alert (警觉的).” It works to protect us in a dangerous environment. More surprisingly, this is similar to the way some animals sleep. Whales, dolphins, and many birds can sleep with half of their brain while the other half stays awake, with its one eye staying open.
If you have ever had what you think is “first night effect”, researchers suggest that you bring your own pillow (枕头) or sleep in a room similar to your bedroom next time you sleep away from home.
61. Why do we have “first night effect”
A. Because the left brains begin to relax. B. Because the right brains have a hard time.
C. Because one side of the brains is more active. D. Because two sides of the brains need more rest.
62. The study finds that “first night effect” ________.
A. helps animals sleep better B. protects people from danger
C. causes something unusual D. influences less in the daytime
63. What can we find out about the volunteers
A. Their left brains were more active on the first night.
B. Their right brains kept them awake the whole night.
C. They slept much better in the sleep lab than at home.
D. Their right brains became more active as days went by.
64. Why do researchers suggest bringing your own pillow when you sleep away from home
A. To reduce your left brain activity with the familiar things.
B. To create a safe environment for yourself to fall asleep at once.
C. To tell your brain that you are safe and stop your left brain activity.
D. To show that your pillow is much more comfortable than other ones.
65. In which part of the newspaper can you find the text
A. Sport. B. Travel. C. Science. D. Culture.

64推理判断题。根据“the left brains were more active than the right brains and people had a hard time sleeping.”以及“researchers suggest that you bring your own pillow (枕头) or sleep in a room similar”可知，睡不着的主要原因是左脑比较活跃，因此推测出用熟悉的枕头可以降低活跃程度。故选A。
65.推理判断题。根据“According to a new study...”可知，文章通过研究或实验证明了首夜效应。因此这篇文章最有可能出现先报纸的“科学”板块。故选C。

【答案】66. C 67. B 68. A 69. E 70. D
【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了宇航员在太空的穿着服饰。
66.根据下文“...The clothes astronauts wear must protect them from these dangerous conditions.”可知，由于太空的特殊情况所以宇航员必须穿能保护他们不受极端情况伤害的衣服；由此处的“dangerous conditions”判断此空仍然是在描述太空的极端情况，选项C“此外，太空不是极热就是极冷。”符合语境。故选C。
67.根据上文“Outside the spaceship, however, they must wear special suits called EMUs.”可知这里在介绍宇航员穿的衣服，叫EMU，下文“EMUs protect astronauts while they do their jobs outside the spaceship.”又在介绍EMU的功能，因此空处是在对EMU作解释，选项B“EMU代表的是舱外机动套装。”符合语境。故选B。
68.根据上文“Putting on the Suit”以及下文的“a full body suit”、“a protective top and bottom”、“the backpack”可知，此处讲的是一步一步穿上套装，因此此空表示套装由很多部分，选项A“一套舱外激动套装有很多部分。”符合语境。故选A。
69.根据上下文的“a full body suit”、“a protective top and bottom”、“the backpack”可知，这里在介绍套装的部分，选项E“宇航员最后套上的是手套和帽子。”符合语境。故选E。
70.根据上文“The backpack includes the Primary Life Support System, which helps astronauts breathe in space.”可知，这里在介绍背包的功能，选项D“它也让他们能够和其他宇航员沟通。”符合语境。故选D。

Kiara Lynn Garcia Hernandez, an American, went to Nan’ao in Dapeng New Area to learn how to make zongzi to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival from Zhang, the fourth-generation inheritor (继承者) of the Nan’ao sea urchin (海胆) zongzi cooking skills.
Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated to honor Qu Yuan, a famous poet who threw himself into a river sadly when he was unable to help his homeland. Zongzi is a special snack for this Chinese festival. Zhang told Hernandez stories about sea urchin zongzi-making traditions in Nan’ao and how the local zongzi has gained (获取) popularity around the whole country. Hernandez followed Zhang’s instructions step by step: positioning leaves, filling with sticky rice, peanuts and fresh sea urchin, wrapping leaves and tying the zongzi with strings (绳).
Hernandez said, “it shows that people care about the environment here and are remembering where they come from. I think it is important to show other people the culture and continue passing on the sea urchin zongzi cooking skills as an intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产). People take a lot of pride in this,” she said.
Before saying goodbye, Zhang gave the American a box of sea urchin zongzi as a gift. “I was thinking about how to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival with friends. Now I can share it with my friends.” Hernandez believes she can help others with her Chinese background.

C. To celebrate the harvest. D. To gain popularity from the whole country.
52. Which is the correct order of making zongzi

53. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph four refer to
A. a box of sea urchin zongzi B. the way to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival
C. the way to make the sea urchin zongzi D. Chinese and its culture
54. What do we know from paragraph 3 and 4
A. Fewer people care about the environment here.
B. Hernandez believes the sea urchin zongzi cooking skills should be passed on as an intangible cultural heritage.
C. Hernandez helped many people with her Chinese background.
D. It was very hard for Hernandez to learn how to make zongzi.
55. Which of the following can be the best title

Li Zihan is a 13-year-old girl from Beijing. These days, she and her friends have been doing unusual things. They imagine themselves to be fairies and dance in their bathrooms. Li even dyed（染色）her mother’s white dress blue, believing that it would look better.
“We might have the so-called “chuunibyou”（中二病）, thinking we are so different and having a bunch of（一连串）crazy ideas,” Li said. “I have to say it’s a little funny and silly.”
Chuunibyou comes from Japanese. Japanese radio host Hikaru Ijuin first used the word “chuunibyou” during a radio program in 1999. It means “Middle School Second Year Syndrome（综合征）”. Teenagers around 13 or 14 years old are more likely to have it, but it can happen to people of any age. “Chuunis” often act as if they knew everything. They believe they are cooler than other people and can do great things. Some even believe they have special powers and are destined（命中注定的）to save the world.
Wang Liren, a professor at Northeast Normal University, said that when students reach puberty（青春期）, they become eager（渴望的）to show that they are different and independent. Sometimes they overdo it. That is where chuunibyou comes from.
But chuunibyou doesn’t really need to be treated（治疗）. It’s just a phase（阶段）of growth that many people may experience. Although it is silly, it shows the passion（激情）that young people have and the possibilities they dream of. There are many chuunibyou teenagers in anime（动漫）and TV series. They may seem silly, but they can also be inspiring.
56. Li Zihan had a lot of crazy ideas except ________.
A. imagining herself to be fairies
B. dying her mother’s white dress blue
C. thinking herself might have the so-called “chuunibyou”
D. dancing in the bathroom
57. Which of the following do you think is the “chuunibyou” symptom（症状）
A. Refusing to finish the homework.
B. Being crazy about singing and dancing.
C. Feeling unhappy all day.
D. Thinking himself will never get infected（感染）with covid–19 even without any protection.
58. What can we know from the last paragraph
A. Someone who has chuunibyou must go to see the doctor.
B. The chuunibyou people may be passionate and inspiring.
C. Only in anime and TV series can we see chuunibyou teenagers.
D. Puberty is a dangerous phase that each one has to experience.
59. What is the writer’s attitude toward “chuunibyou”
A. Worried. B. Supportive. C. Opposite. D. Acceptable.
60. The writer’s writing purpose is to ________.
A. explain what chuunibyou is. B. introduce the troubles that teens cause.
C. give advice on how to go through puberty. D. show a survey from Professor Wang.
D
Many of us have this experience: we lie down in a bed, not our own, maybe at a friend’s house or in a hotel room, and find it difficult or impossible to fall asleep. Is it because the bed is uncomfortable Maybe, but perhaps there can be other reasons.
According to a new study in Current Biology, an important reason is what the scientists call “first night effect (效应)”. They believe that it is because one side of the brains is more active. It forces us to stay awake on the first night in a new environment. The effect acts as a “night watch” to protect us from potential (潜在的) danger.
For the study, 35 young volunteers were asked to sleep in a sleep lab for several days. At the same time, researchers watched their brain activities.
According to the researchers, on their first night, the left brains were more active than the right brains and people had a hard time sleeping. However, left-brain activity reduced (减少) as days went by, falling even to the point of complete peace. In this process, the volunteers got an increasingly better sleep experience.
“At some level, the brain is continuing to analyze things, even though you can’t realize it.” US professor Jerome Siegel told Smith Sonian Magazine, “If something unusual happens—if a door opens or you hear a key in a lock—you can be alert (警觉的).” It works to protect us in a dangerous environment. More surprisingly, this is similar to the way some animals sleep. Whales, dolphins, and many birds can sleep with half of their brain while the other half stays awake, with its one eye staying open.
If you have ever had what you think is “first night effect”, researchers suggest that you bring your own pillow (枕头) or sleep in a room similar to your bedroom next time you sleep away from home.
61. Why do we have “first night effect”
A. Because the left brains begin to relax. B. Because the right brains have a hard time.
C. Because one side of the brains is more active. D. Because two sides of the brains need more rest.
62. The study finds that “first night effect” ________.
A. helps animals sleep better B. protects people from danger
C. causes something unusual D. influences less in the daytime
63. What can we find out about the volunteers
A. Their left brains were more active on the first night.
B. Their right brains kept them awake the whole night.
C. They slept much better in the sleep lab than at home.
D. Their right brains became more active as days went by.
64. Why do researchers suggest bringing your own pillow when you sleep away from home
A. To reduce your left brain activity with the familiar things.
B. To create a safe environment for yourself to fall asleep at once.
C. To tell your brain that you are safe and stop your left brain activity.
D. To show that your pillow is much more comfortable than other ones.
65. In which part of the newspaper can you find the text
A. Sport. B. Travel. C. Science. D. Culture.
