2．C
【详解】句意：——我担心这个包对于你来说太重了而搬不动它。——确实，我不够强壮。
考查副词辨析以及enough的位置。too…to太……而不能……；be+adj+enough to do sth足以……做某事。根据“for you to carry”可知，此处用too…to的结构，表示太重而搬不动。根据“Indeed”可知，同意对方的观点，所以第二空表示自己确实不够强壮，enough修饰形容词要放在其后，故选C。
3．C

【详解】句意：——你什么时候知道的信息？——直到昨天我被告知我才知道。
考查连词和被动语态。until直到；not...until直到……才。分析句子可知主语I和谓语“tell告诉”之间是被动关系，应用被动语态be done，排除AB；由语境可知此处表示“直到被告知才知道这个消息”，用not...until。故选D。
6．C
【详解】句意：新发明的目的是为了使生活更容易，而不是使生活更难。
考查动词不定式。is to do sth, not to do sth 是要做……,而不是做……。故选C。
7．A
【详解】句意：我们打算下周的某个时间举行一个聚会。
考查近义词辨析。sometime 某时，不确定的时间；some time 一段时间；sometimes 有时候；some times 一些次，一些倍。根据“We are going to have a party.... next week.”可知，此处指不确定的将来某个时间，用“sometime”。故选A。

9．D
【详解】句意：你想要去看电影还是想要待在家里？
考查动词短语。feel like doing sth想要做某事，其后应接动词的ing形式，故为going；would like to do sth想要做某事，would like是动词短语其后应接动词不定式作宾语，故为to stay。故选D。
10．D
【详解】句意：在海洋中生活的一些问题与在外太空生活的问题相似。
考查指示代词。this这，这个；that那，那个；these这些；those那些。根据“Some of the problems of living in the sea are similar to...”可知，生活在两种环境下的“问题”很相似，此处用代词those指代复数名词problems，表示“在外太空的那些问题”。故选D。
11．B
【详解】句意：我发现喂动物很有趣。
考查固定句型。“发现做某事很有趣”用find it interesting to do sth来表示，其中it为形式宾语，to do sth为真正的宾语。故选B。
12．D
【详解】句意：——李华在哪里？——我好几天没见到他了。他去了一个山区。他在那待了将近一个月。
考查现在完成时。has been to去过某地（现已回来）；has gone to去了某地（还未回来）；has been in待在某地；has stayed已经待在某地。根据“I haven’t seen him for days”可知，去了山区还未回来，排除A和C选项。there是地点副词，前不能用任何介词，故选D。

14．D
【详解】句意：他在旅途中照顾这么多孩子不容易。easy是不可以修饰人的形容词, 即sb.和adj.没有主系表关系，因此，第一个空sb. 前用for。排除A/C。so副词，意思是“如此、这样”，后面常接形容词或副词；such形容词，意思是“如此、这样”，修饰名词，即可接可数名词，也可以接不可数名词。many是形容词，因此用so来修饰。如此多的孩子，用so many children。故选D。
【点睛】It’s + adj. + (of / for) sb to do sth. 译作“(某人)做某事是…的”。It 是形式主语，不定式结构是真正主语。of / for后面的sb是不定式的逻辑主语。
1. 当形容词是可修饰人的形容词，即sb和adj. 有主系表关系时，sb. 前用of。如 It’s clever of you to answer the question so quickly. / It’s kind of you to help me a lot. 这样的形容词有：kind, nice, rude, clever, silly, foolish等。
2. 当形容词是不可以修饰人的形容词，即sb和adj. 没有主系表关系时，sb. 前用for。如 It’s easy for her to clean the window by herself. / It’s important for us to learn English well. 这样的形容词有：easy, hard, difficult, important, necessary, dangerous等。
15．C
【详解】疑问词后接动词不定式。句意“我们不能算出这个物理难题，你能告诉我们怎样算出来”，what可作为do的宾语，动词后不用加it；how不可作为do的宾语，因此后需加代词it，因此选C。

Dear Sandy,
How are you I haven’t heard from you for a long time. I’m writing to tell you about a charity activity.
It was held at 9 a.m. last Sunday on the playground. It was held by the Students’ Union. All the teachers and students and some local businesses were invited to take part in it.
During the activity everyone donated money actively. In the end we raised 1,800 yuan. The money will be used to help those homeless children.
I think if everyone helps people in need, the world will be full of love. I hope more activities like this will be held.
What do you think of our activity I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

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.
29．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.
30．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.
31．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.

Zheng He, the Columbus (哥伦布) of the East, was an amazing man. He is the most important Chinese adventurer of all time and one of the greatest sailors the world has ever known.
He was born in Yunnan Province in 1371 and his parents named him Ma Sanbao. Eleven years later, a rich young man called Zhu Di caught him. Over time the rich man saw that Zheng He was very clever and strong and they became close friends. In 1403 Zhu Di became the King of China and he asked Zheng He to join his new government and gave him a new name—Zheng He.
The King wanted to learn more about the world and show other countries his power. He ordered people to build many new ships and made Zheng He their leader. Between 1405 and 1433, Zheng He travelled to different parts of the world. He certainly travelled to India, Africa and the Middle East. A few people think his ships may have even reached South America and Australia. Each trip lasted between two and four years and it is believed he sailed more than 50,000 kms during the years of his travels. With 28,000 men and over 300 ships, such as boats for food, water and even horses, Zheng He’s fleet (船队) was much smaller than Europeans’ for over 500 years.
On these trips he brought with him many Chinese goods like silk and medicine to give to foreign kings or to sell for local goods. He returned from each trip with boats filled with expensive things such as gold and jewellery, foreign guests and strange animals like a giraffe. It is a pity that we may never learn everything about Zheng He’s travels. After he died in 1433, the new king, who believed these trips were unlucky and too expensive, ordered them to stop the travels and he burned almost all the books about Zheng He’s travels. It is only in the last 50 years that historians have begun to carefully study the adventures of the great Zheng He.
32．Why did the Chinese King want Zheng He to sail to many different countries
A．To bring new countries under the control of China.
B．To show the world how strong the King was.
C．To receive gifts from the kings of other countries.
D．To discover unusual animals.
33．What do we know about Zheng He from the passage
A．He travelled around the world. B．Each of his trips lasted two years.
C．He died at the age of 62. D．He was a successful businessman.
34．In what order did the following happen
a. Zhu Di became the King.
b. A young rich man caught Zheng He.
c. The new king burned all the books about Zheng He.
d. Zheng He brought foreigners to China.
e. Zheng He visited India.
f. The King ordered people to build new ships.
A．e, b, a, f, d, c B．b, a, e, d, c, f C．f, a, b, d, c, e D．b, a, f, e, d, c
35．We can infer from the passage that ________.
A．In fact, Zheng He is the first man who reached Australia.
B．The countries Zheng He visited welcomed his fleet.
C．Zheng He’s fleet was as big as Columbus’s.
D．Many people in the government disliked Zheng He, so they stopped the travels after he died.

It was a cold day, and I had no desire to drive up the winding mountain road to my daughter Carolyn’s house, but she had insisted (坚持) that I come see something at the mountain top.
So here I was, unwillingly making the journey through fog. When I saw how thick it was near the top, I’d gone too far to turn back.
▲ , I thought as I moved along the dangerous road.
“I’ll stay for lunch, but I’m going back as soon as the fog lifts. I announced when I arrived.”
“But mom, I want you to see something at the top,” Carolyn said. “Could we at least do that ”
“How far is it ” I asked.
“About three minutes,” she said. “I’ll drive—I’m used to it.”
After ten minutes on the mountain road, I looked at her anxiously. “I thought you said three minutes.”
She smiled. “This is a detour (绕行的路) .”
Turning down a narrow track, we parked the car and got out. We walked along a path that was thick with old pine needles. Huge black-green evergreens towered over us in the woods. Gradually, the peace and silence began to fill my mind.
Then we turned a corner and stopped—and I gasped (倒抽气) in amazement. From the top of the mountain, sloping (倾斜) for several acres across valleys, were rivers of daffodils (水仙花) in brilliant bloom. A number of colors—from the palest ivory to the deepest lemon to the brightest orange—shone like a carpet before us. At the center flowed a waterfall of purple hyacinths (风信子) . Here and there were coral-colored tulips (郁金香) .
A series of questions filled my mind. Who created such beauty Why How
As we went to the house in the center of the field, we saw a sign that read, “Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking.”
The first answer was “One Woman—Two Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain.”
The second “One at a Time.”
The third “Started in 1978.”
As we drove home, I was so moved by what we had seen, I could hardly speak.
“She changed the world,” I finally said, “One bulb (球茎) at a time. She started almost 50 years ago, probably just the beginning of an idea, but she kept at it.”
“Imagine, I said, if I’d had a goal and worked at it, just a little bit everyday, what might I have accomplished ”
Carolyn looked at me, smiling. “Start tomorrow,” she said, “Better yet, start today.”
36．The author drove up the mountain road because she ________.
A．wanted to go to her daughter’s for lunch B．didn’t want to disappoint her daughter
C．wanted to see something at the mountain top D．didn’t want to go through the thick fog.

C．Something could stop me D．Something could be worth this
38．The author’s attitude began to change when ________.
A．they walked in the woods B．they saw the beauty
C．they read the sign D．they drove home

A．She lived alone in a house at the top of a mountain.
B．She made a detour to avoid the fog on the road.
C．She wanted to share the beauty with her mother.
D．She hoped her mother could grow some flowers too.

“Dream of Winter, Love among Asia”, a short track speed (短道速滑) skater and two tigers...The slogan (口号), the emblem (会徽) and mascots (吉祥物) for the 9th Asian Winter Games finally came out. Good news! The games will be held in Harbin, Heilongjiang in 2025.
The emblem looks like the Chinese character “九”. That means the 9th Asian Winter Games. It also looks like the Chinese character “合”. It describes Chinese people’s wish to get together with friends from other Asian countries. It also shows the beauty of Chinese characters to the world.
In the emblem, the short track speed skater represents the sports spirit of the players across Asia. The lilac, the flower of Harbin, symbolizes (象征) Harbin’s city culture of warmheartedness (热心). And the red sun represents the wish of Asian countries to go after progress and peace. The emblem allows people to easily see the time and place of the sports event.
