Cheng Cheung Hung, a Chinese sprinter (短跑运动员) , says Asia's fastest man Su Bingtian is his hero, who was the first Chinese to run 100 meters in 10 seconds in 2015.
“Su Bingtian created a new Asian record. His super performance definitely earned him the title of 'Su-per'. I had the pleasure of shaking his hand, which was a great inspiration,” said Cheng after his competition in China's first Youth Games on Monday.
Four weeks ago, Su delivered a speech, which attracted many young athletes like Cheng Cheung Hung.

Majored in physical therapy (理疗) , Cheng has well balanced his school studies and training at university. “The main thing is to do a good job of time management for studying and training,” he said. “In the classroom and on the sports field, it's all about learning.”
Through studying physical therapy at university, Cheng got a deeper understanding of human body structure and conducted scientific analysis of sprinting. He said he could be aware of the change in his physical state now and immediately correct his training time based on his knowledge and research.
“It would be a great honor to be involved in sports in the future, and to pass on the experience I have learned now to the next generation. I hope to help the development of sports,” Cheng said.

Some Christmas traditions are pretty standard in mainstream (主流) American culture: put up the tree, string up the lights, visit grandma, and so on.
Then there's the one my Colombian family does every year: the Novena de Aguinaldos. We pray (祈祷) for nine days without a stop, and this Novena counts down the nine days before Christmas. Most Americans have never heard of it, but in Colombia, it's a big deal.
Like all good traditions, especially around the holidays, this tradition is about community and getting together with friends and family. My family immigrated (移民) from Colombia when I was just two months old. Every year, we gather with a group of Colombian friends for as many of the nine nights as we can.
There are three parts to the Novena de Aguinaldos. The first is the reading: each kid takes turns to read a book. Next comes the gozos, which means “The Joys”. That's where the music comes in, and everyone gets an instrument, a maraca, a drum, a tin can—whatever you can use to make a sound. And then, the villancicos—Spanish Christmas carols (颂歌) come.
I've lived my whole life in the US. There's not a lot of Colombian culture that we still hang onto. Why do we still carry on with the tradition of celebrating the Novenas, then
When I asked my parents the other day, the answer was that immigrants didn't belong anywhere—not where you were, nor where you were from. So my parents helped create a space where we did. Even if the Novenas were nothing like what we might have celebrated if we'd stayed in Colombia, the Novenas became the heart of our community.
But our Novenas are starting to feel a little more breakable. It's getting harder and harder for everyone to get together each year. Last year, I was studying abroad in Italy and couldn't make it to any gathering; my brother went off to college and had exams late into December; my sister just moved to a new city, and my parents have taken up jobs in different countries.
28. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The process of celebrating the Novena.
B. The development of a Colombian tradition.
C. The background of the Colombian family.
D. The differences between the Novena and Christmas.
29. Why does the Colombian family celebrate the Novena
A. To remember their dead friends. B. To find a sense of belonging.
C. To show their respect for Americans. D. To understand the local culture.
30. What makes celebrating the Novena difficult for the Colombian family
A. Lack of money. B. Their separate busy life.
C. American laws. D. Friends' complaints.
31. What's the best title for the text
A. Growing Up B. Colorful Culture
C. Exploring American Christmas Traditions D. Colombian Family's Novena in the US
D
When 62-year-old fisherman Kpana Charlie has finished placing the day's catch in his nets, he likes to sit on his wooden chair and let his mind go back to his childhood. Back then, his home on Sierra Leone's Nyangai Island seemed like a paradise (天堂) .
He spent endless hours playing with his friends on the island's shining white beaches. He liked to kick around a soccer ball on the sports field in his village, and in mango season, he would shake the trees to collect their colorful fruit. Whenever he wanted to avoid doing his homework, he could-simply disappear into the thick forest that covered much of the island.
Today, Nyangai is disappearing, swallowed up by the sea. As recently as ten years ago, it still measured some 2, 300 feet from end to end. What's left today is a patch of (一片) sand which is 300 feet long and 250 wide. The forests are gone, flooded by saltwater. The soccer field lies under water for 22 hours of-the day. And the land on which Charlie's family home once stood, the home he was born in, has been disappearing under the waves. In as little as two years, Charlie fears, Nyangai may no longer exist at al.
With nearly a third of its population living in coastal areas, and its heavy reliance on agriculture and fishing, Sierra Leone has been treated as one of the world's most vulnerable countries to the effects of climate change.
Gabriel Jaka, head of operations for the country's Meteorological Agency, says the reason for Nyangai's troubles is clear. “We're seeing a significant sea-level rise and these people don't have any proper defenses,” he says. “All they have are sandbags. If we don't act now, the effects on people are just going to get worse.”
32. What do the figures in paragraph 3 show
A. Nyangai is large in area. B. Nyangai has a long history.
C. Nyangai is being destroyed by humans. D. Nyangai is suffering a lot from a sea-level rise.
33. What does the: underlined word “vulnerable” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Far-reaching. B. Protected.
C. Easy to be attacked. D. Difficult to keep in touch with.
34. How does Gabriel Jaka feel about people's future life in Nyangai
A. Worried. B. Calm. C. Unconcerned. D. Hopeful.
35. What's the purpose of the text
A. To introduce a poor fisherman. B. To call for actions to fight climate change.
C. To present a fisherman's old hometown. D. To show the destruction of the forest.

On rainy days, Juanita liked to climb the attic (阁楼) stairs and play with her stuffed animals (毛绒玩具) under the roof. Here she could hear the drumming sound of the rain. The attic was dark on stormy days, but Juanita thought it was comfortable to have only one light bulb (灯泡) on.
Today, Juanita was pretending that her stuffed animals were Olympic athletes. The event was the high jump, so Juanita threw them into the air to see how high they could fly. Tom, her stuffed monkey, flew so high that he hit the ceiling and went over into a dark corner.
When Juanita went to find Tom, she saw a box on the floor in the corner. It was dusty (布满灰尘的) , with gold corners and a metal lock that held it shut. Its key was lying just beside it. She had never noticed this box before. What could be inside
Juanita brought the box and the key over to the middle of the attic, under the light bulb where she could see better. She opened it carefully and looked inside. Inside the box were a lot of black and white photos. Most of them were of a small girl with her hair braided (编辫子) .

W: Listen, please! It's time to stop using your phones on the road. Sending messages while walking, biking and driving raises the chances of hurting yourself or someone else. Some cities, like Honolulu in Hawaii, have made it against the law to send messages while walking. I am going to encourage other cities to do the same. Many cities like Philadelphia have said that the use of hand-held phones while bike riding is against the law.
The city of Los Angeles will make you pay a fine for using your phone while driving. Many police officers may start using advanced technology to find out when you are using the phone on the road. But don't wait for the police to tell you to stop doing it. Take a look for yourself at the video I'll play in a few minutes. That should be enough to convince you to focus on the road. I know about this from personal experience. A driver who was talking on his phone drove into my best friend Kim's car, and Kim broke her leg.

One possible version:
My Favorite Teacher
My favorite teacher is Ms. Palmer. She is a very patient and experienced teacher. During her class, she walks around to each of us and gives us timely help. Most importantly, she can tell us exactly what has to be done.
Ms. Palmer is a very kind person, too. For example, the classroom can be cold late in the autumn when the heating is not turned on yet. On a cold morning, we were surprised to find that she had put a cup of hot drink on each desk. Its warmth still remains in my heart.
第二节
One possible version:
Juanita ran downstairs with the photos to show her mom. “Why don't these photos have any color When did you braid my hair And when did we visit a farm ” she breathlessly peppered her mom with questions, as she handed her mom the stack of mysterious photos. Looking at these photos, Mom laughed, “These are photos of your grandma's when she was a little girl. This was the farm where she lived,” “Wow!” said Juanita excitedly. “I do really look just like her!”
Juanita asked her mom to take some photos for her and hang them up with Grandma's. Mom nodded and followed Juanita to her favorite attic stairs. Under the dim light bulb, Mom recorded the happy time Juanita spent with her stuffed animals with the camera. After Mom got Juanita's photos, she said, “Thanks for reminding me of your grandma's photos. It was a shame to keep them up in the attic. Now, I will put both of your photos in frames and hang them in your room.” Jumping up with joy, Juanita said, “Everything made sense with those photos hung up.”

Cheng Cheung Hung, a Chinese sprinter (短跑运动员) , says Asia's fastest man Su Bingtian is his hero, who was the first Chinese to run 100 meters in 10 seconds in 2015.
“Su Bingtian created a new Asian record. His super performance definitely earned him the title of 'Su-per'. I had the pleasure of shaking his hand, which was a great inspiration,” said Cheng after his competition in China's first Youth Games on Monday.
Four weeks ago, Su delivered a speech, which attracted many young athletes like Cheng Cheung Hung. Cheng not only shook hands with his hero, but also was inspired by Su's speech. “It was truly an enlightening experience for me,” recalled Cheng. “Su encouraged us to try and challenge ourselves to break the bining (结合) talent and hard work together, we can step on the world stage.”
Majored in physical therapy (理疗) , Cheng has well balanced his school studies and training at university. “The main thing is to do a good job of time management for studying and training,” he said. “In the classroom and on the sports field, it's all about learning.”
Through studying physical therapy at university, Cheng got a deeper understanding of human body structure and conducted scientific analysis of sprinting. He said he could be aware of the change in his physical state now and immediately correct his training time based on his knowledge and research.
“It would be a great honor to be involved in sports in the future, and to pass on the experience I have learned now to the next generation. I hope to help the development of sports,” Cheng said.

Some Christmas traditions are pretty standard in mainstream (主流) American culture: put up the tree, string up the lights, visit grandma, and so on.
Then there's the one my Colombian family does every year: the Novena de Aguinaldos. We pray (祈祷) for nine days without a stop, and this Novena counts down the nine days before Christmas. Most Americans have never heard of it, but in Colombia, it's a big deal.
Like all good traditions, especially around the holidays, this tradition is about community and getting together with friends and family. My family immigrated (移民) from Colombia when I was just two months old. Every year, we gather with a group of Colombian friends for as many of the nine nights as we can.
There are three parts to the Novena de Aguinaldos. The first is the reading: each kid takes turns to read a book. Next comes the gozos, which means “The Joys”. That's where the music comes in, and everyone gets an instrument, a maraca, a drum, a tin can—whatever you can use to make a sound. And then, the villancicos—Spanish Christmas carols (颂歌) come.
I've lived my whole life in the US. There's not a lot of Colombian culture that we still hang onto. Why do we still carry on with the tradition of celebrating the Novenas, then
When I asked my parents the other day, the answer was that immigrants didn't belong anywhere—not where you were, nor where you were from. So my parents helped create a space where we did. Even if the Novenas were nothing like what we might have celebrated if we'd stayed in Colombia, the Novenas became the heart of our community.
But our Novenas are starting to feel a little more breakable. It's getting harder and harder for everyone to get together each year. Last year, I was studying abroad in Italy and couldn't make it to any gathering; my brother went off to college and had exams late into December; my sister just moved to a new city, and my parents have taken up jobs in different countries.
28. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The process of celebrating the Novena.
B. The development of a Colombian tradition.
C. The background of the Colombian family.
D. The differences between the Novena and Christmas.
29. Why does the Colombian family celebrate the Novena
A. To remember their dead friends. B. To find a sense of belonging.
C. To show their respect for Americans. D. To understand the local culture.
30. What makes celebrating the Novena difficult for the Colombian family
A. Lack of money. B. Their separate busy life.
C. American laws. D. Friends' complaints.
31. What's the best title for the text
A. Growing Up B. Colorful Culture
C. Exploring American Christmas Traditions D. Colombian Family's Novena in the US
D
When 62-year-old fisherman Kpana Charlie has finished placing the day's catch in his nets, he likes to sit on his wooden chair and let his mind go back to his childhood. Back then, his home on Sierra Leone's Nyangai Island seemed like a paradise (天堂) .
He spent endless hours playing with his friends on the island's shining white beaches. He liked to kick around a soccer ball on the sports field in his village, and in mango season, he would shake the trees to collect their colorful fruit. Whenever he wanted to avoid doing his homework, he could-simply disappear into the thick forest that covered much of the island.
Today, Nyangai is disappearing, swallowed up by the sea. As recently as ten years ago, it still measured some 2, 300 feet from end to end. What's left today is a patch of (一片) sand which is 300 feet long and 250 wide. The forests are gone, flooded by saltwater. The soccer field lies under water for 22 hours of-the day. And the land on which Charlie's family home once stood, the home he was born in, has been disappearing under the waves. In as little as two years, Charlie fears, Nyangai may no longer exist at al.
With nearly a third of its population living in coastal areas, and its heavy reliance on agriculture and fishing, Sierra Leone has been treated as one of the world's most vulnerable countries to the effects of climate change.
Gabriel Jaka, head of operations for the country's Meteorological Agency, says the reason for Nyangai's troubles is clear. “We're seeing a significant sea-level rise and these people don't have any proper defenses,” he says. “All they have are sandbags. If we don't act now, the effects on people are just going to get worse.”
32. What do the figures in paragraph 3 show
A. Nyangai is large in area. B. Nyangai has a long history.
C. Nyangai is being destroyed by humans. D. Nyangai is suffering a lot from a sea-level rise.
33. What does the: underlined word “vulnerable” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Far-reaching. B. Protected.
C. Easy to be attacked. D. Difficult to keep in touch with.
34. How does Gabriel Jaka feel about people's future life in Nyangai
A. Worried. B. Calm. C. Unconcerned. D. Hopeful.
35. What's the purpose of the text
A. To introduce a poor fisherman. B. To call for actions to fight climate change.
C. To present a fisherman's old hometown. D. To show the destruction of the forest.

On rainy days, Juanita liked to climb the attic (阁楼) stairs and play with her stuffed animals (毛绒玩具) under the roof. Here she could hear the drumming sound of the rain. The attic was dark on stormy days, but Juanita thought it was comfortable to have only one light bulb (灯泡) on.
Today, Juanita was pretending that her stuffed animals were Olympic athletes. The event was the high jump, so Juanita threw them into the air to see how high they could fly. Tom, her stuffed monkey, flew so high that he hit the ceiling and went over into a dark corner.
When Juanita went to find Tom, she saw a box on the floor in the corner. It was dusty (布满灰尘的) , with gold corners and a metal lock that held it shut. Its key was lying just beside it. She had never noticed this box before. What could be inside
Juanita brought the box and the key over to the middle of the attic, under the light bulb where she could see better. She opened it carefully and looked inside. Inside the box were a lot of black and white photos. Most of them were of a small girl with her hair braided (编辫子) .
The girl looked just like Juanita! This was confusing. “I've never been to that house,” she thought as she looked through the photos. There was a gray farmhouse in the background of each picture. How could Juanita be in pictures of a place she had never been to

W: Listen, please! It's time to stop using your phones on the road. Sending messages while walking, biking and driving raises the chances of hurting yourself or someone else. Some cities, like Honolulu in Hawaii, have made it against the law to send messages while walking. I am going to encourage other cities to do the same. Many cities like Philadelphia have said that the use of hand-held phones while bike riding is against the law.
The city of Los Angeles will make you pay a fine for using your phone while driving. Many police officers may start using advanced technology to find out when you are using the phone on the road. But don't wait for the police to tell you to stop doing it. Take a look for yourself at the video I'll play in a few minutes. That should be enough to convince you to focus on the road. I know about this from personal experience. A driver who was talking on his phone drove into my best friend Kim's car, and Kim broke her leg.

第一节
One possible version:
My Favorite Teacher
My favorite teacher is Ms. Palmer. She is a very patient and experienced teacher. During her class, she walks around to each of us and gives us timely help. Most importantly, she can tell us exactly what has to be done.
Ms. Palmer is a very kind person, too. For example, the classroom can be cold late in the autumn when the heating is not turned on yet. On a cold morning, we were surprised to find that she had put a cup of hot drink on each desk. Its warmth still remains in my heart.
第二节
One possible version:
Juanita ran downstairs with the photos to show her mom. “Why don't these photos have any color When did you braid my hair And when did we visit a farm ” she breathlessly peppered her mom with questions, as she handed her mom the stack of mysterious photos. Looking at these photos, Mom laughed, “These are photos of your grandma's when she was a little girl. This was the farm where she lived,” “Wow!” said Juanita excitedly. “I do really look just like her!”
Juanita asked her mom to take some photos for her and hang them up with Grandma's. Mom nodded and followed Juanita to her favorite attic stairs. Under the dim light bulb, Mom recorded the happy time Juanita spent with her stuffed animals with the camera. After Mom got Juanita's photos, she said, “Thanks for reminding me of your grandma's photos. It was a shame to keep them up in the attic. Now, I will put both of your photos in frames and hang them in your room.” Jumping up with joy, Juanita said, “Everything made sense with those photos hung up.”
