Dallas-based Knit Wits is made up of a group of grandmothers with a strong love for knitting（编织） who turn their love for crafting（精心制作） into a purposeful attempt. Meeting regularly, they pour their collective love into every stitch（针法） they make. The group has been working for over ten years, meeting every Friday, to support organizations that help others, locally and around the world. Over the years, they've crafted thousands of items insupport of the important things.
Recently the Knit Wits member Mary Ann Stover was encouraged to have the group knit hats for infant（婴儿） patients with heart disease at Children’s Health Hospital. The hats, each a unique work of art, designed with holiday themes, reflect the skill of the Knit Wits. More importantly, the special of Knit Wits is its understanding of the emotional effect these small objects can have on the infants experiencing medical treatments.
Bealle, a certified child life specialist at Children's Health Hospital, explained how the hats are making a difference to the tiny patients and their families. “Caregivers are able to wear the hats on their body to move their smells before placing the hats back on the infants, encouraging connecting and making the infants less stressful,” he said.
Throughout the infants’ admission, many holidays are celebrated. At times, some infants are seriously ill and unable to dress up for holiday photos the families have planned. Thanks to the donations from Knit Wits, the hospital team is able to provide the family with a suitable themed infant hat the family can use for their photos and holiday celebrations.
24. What do we know about the hats from Paragraph 2
A. They centre on spiritual comfort. B. They have holiday food subjects.
C. They are knitted by the caregivers. D. They are worn on child parents' birthdays.
25. Why do the caregivers wear the hats first

C. Why some special photos are important. D. What the hats can be matched with.

Dragons, a famous imaginary beast born from fantasy, are often present in stories in the west and east. In both cultures, dragons are generally recognized as huge creatures capable of flight. They have great power and are often connected with magical abilities. However, due to their different cultural roots and images, there exist significant differences in the way dragons are regarded in the west and east, particularly in China.
Chinese dragons are most like snakes, and have four claws and no wings. They often have features of other animals, including carp, tigers, and eagles. However, Western dragons look like huge lizards（蜥蜴） with big claws and large bat-like wings, and are often shown with spines or rough（粗糙的） scales.
In traditional Chinese culture, a dragon is a symbol of luck, power and high position. They can cause weather changes and bring rainfall to the fields to ensure rich harvests. They are considered divine（神圣的） creatures, which hold an important position as the head of the four spirits. Therefore, to symbolize their power, ancient Chinese emperors decorated their clothes with dragon patterns. These clothes are known as dragon robes. Many Chinese view the dragon as a national symbol, proudly referring to themselves as “descendants（后代） of the dragon”. In the west, however, a dragon symbolizes an evil（邪恶的） creature that spreads violence（暴力） and terror throughout the land. They are believed to be transformed by the devil, with the ability to breathe fire or spit poison. Many Western tales show dragons being defeated and killed to protect people from danger.
Today, dragons continue to develop, beating traditional boundaries and finding new significance in global culture. They are no longer connected with evil or good, but rather as complex（复杂的） characters with their own special personalities. For example, Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon begins as a dangerous dragon but turns into a misunderstood being with love. This challenges the idea of dragons as naturally evil, presenting them as complex beings with emotions.
28. What do Western dragons and Eastern dragons have in common
A. They have rough skin. B. They are huge and powerful.
C. They are in the shape of snakes. D. They have big claws and wings.
29. What do we know from Paragraph 3
A. Western dragons are a symbol of authority. B. Dragons in China can protect people from danger.
C. Chinese dragons can control rainfall and breathe fire. D. Dragons are believed to cause mess in Western culture.
30. What is new about dragons in today's global culture
A. They are regarded as adventurous creatures. B. They are closely connected with evil or good.
C. They have more various emotions and personalities. D. They tend to represent human spirits facing challenges.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. The Dragon Elements in Global Culture B. The Origin of Dragons in Chinese History
C. The Magical Animals in Different Countries D. The Images of Dragons in Western Traditions
D
Imagine being able to see perfectly in the dark. This dream has become a reality thanks to a newly developed technology. This technology consists of a thin film that will be placed on the lenses（镜片） of common glasses. The film is cheap to make, easy to produce, and is lightweight. It is actually 100 times thinner than a hair. Yet, despite its tiny size, its performance is impressive; this special film allows you to see in the dark.
This technology is able to transform infrared light（红外光）, which normally can't be seen by the human eye, and turn this into images people can pared to animals, humans have very impoverished night vision. Over the years, night vision devices（设备） have been developed to help the medical, industrial, and scientific worlds. Scientists are able to study night-time animals by using infrared cameras, while companies use infrared imaging for food quality control.
Traditional infrared devices work by discovering the heat of an object. They use a cooler in low temperature and can be easily influenced by the heat noise. Such shortcoming led the team into exploring an improved device.
Their new device is able to function at room temperature. The new technology is unlike the traditional devices. Once this new night vision is used to all, it could save lives. Drivers will be able to see better at night, especially when driving on unlighted roads. Police can use them when searching at night, and hikers who lose their way can feel more confident walking in the dark.
The inventors are excited to make the practical uses. “While this is the first experiment, we are actively working to further advance the technology. Of course, the many uses are exciting and seeing in the dark opens up a new world for all,” said Mohsen Rahmani, lead developer of the technology,
32. What do we know about the film according to the first paragraph
A. It costs a lot to make. B. It is difficult to produce.
C. It looks like regular glasses. D. It helps us see in the dark.
33. What does the underlined word “impoverished” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Clear. B. Poor. C. Amazing. D. Effective.
34. What does Paragraph 4 focus on about the new technology
A. Its likely buyers. B. Its future improvements.
C. Its practical applications. D. Its working conditions.
35. What can be inferred about the technology in Mohsen's words
A. It needs to be further developed. B. It is not exciting enough to scientists,
C. It has become a hit in the experiment. D. It has been available to common people.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many are lucky enough to travel and see different cultures. For those who have not yet seen other cultures, here are five things you can learn from other cultures.
New language
Although learning a new language has become simpler through apps or programmes, nothing compares to learning a language in the place where it is spoken. 36 Communications with others in another country is also important.
Knowledge
You can read books and even eat food from other countries. But those experience will never compare to the knowledge gained by being in another country. 37 If you are unable to travel, pay attention to cultural events that allow you to increase your knowledge.
Unique traditions
38 A tradition in Mexico is Day of the Dead. The people of Mexico believe that each year, the souls of the dead return to visit their loved ones and celebrate just as they did when they were alive.
39
It can be hard to imagine what life would be like if we didn't have the things we take for granted（认为理所当然） every day, such as reliable transportation, clean water, education and a home to live. Therefore, we should value what we have and that we are able to work to provide for ourselves.
We're not so different after all
If you have travelled to another country, the experience is probably completely new. But no matter how much our lifestyles may differ, we are all working toward similar goals in life. 40 Next time you travel to a new country, discover not only the differences, but also the similarities.
A. Value what you have.
B. Imagine what your life will be.
C. Those goals include trying to get the most out of life.

第二节
One possible version:
Anna filled out the form. She loved reading aloud. When she was a child. she read aloud to her teddy bear. Later, when she grew up and became a teacher, she read aloud to her students many times throughout the day. Since her retirement, she read aloud only to herself and her cat. It would feel so good to have a human audience once again to share stories with. A couple of days later. Anna sat in the empty small theatre in the library, preparing the first Chinese story she was going to read.
Soon, the audience began to walk in and find their seats. Anna stepped to the edge of the stage and introduced herself. She explained the origin of the story, opened the book and began to read. She created voices for the characters, pausing for emphasis, and taking the listeners into another world. When Anna read the last words of the story. there was a momentary silence as it all sank into the listeners and then a burst of enthusiastic applause. At that moment, understanding did grow in the town through the sharing of stories.

Dallas-based Knit Wits is made up of a group of grandmothers with a strong love for knitting（编织） who turn their love for crafting（精心制作） into a purposeful attempt. Meeting regularly, they pour their collective love into every stitch（针法） they make. The group has been working for over ten years, meeting every Friday, to support organizations that help others, locally and around the world. Over the years, they've crafted thousands of items insupport of the important things.
Recently the Knit Wits member Mary Ann Stover was encouraged to have the group knit hats for infant（婴儿） patients with heart disease at Children’s Health Hospital. The hats, each a unique work of art, designed with holiday themes, reflect the skill of the Knit Wits. More importantly, the special of Knit Wits is its understanding of the emotional effect these small objects can have on the infants experiencing medical treatments.
Bealle, a certified child life specialist at Children's Health Hospital, explained how the hats are making a difference to the tiny patients and their families. “Caregivers are able to wear the hats on their body to move their smells before placing the hats back on the infants, encouraging connecting and making the infants less stressful,” he said.
Throughout the infants’ admission, many holidays are celebrated. At times, some infants are seriously ill and unable to dress up for holiday photos the families have planned. Thanks to the donations from Knit Wits, the hospital team is able to provide the family with a suitable themed infant hat the family can use for their photos and holiday celebrations.
24. What do we know about the hats from Paragraph 2
A. They centre on spiritual comfort. B. They have holiday food subjects.
C. They are knitted by the caregivers. D. They are worn on child parents' birthdays.
25. Why do the caregivers wear the hats first

C. To relax the infants for treatments. D. To welcome the arrival of various holidays.
26. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Why some holiday celebrations are held. B. What the hats can be used as on holidays.
C. Why some special photos are important. D. What the hats can be matched with.
27. Which of the following can best describe the members of Knit Wits
A. Careful. B. Brave. C. Warm-hearted. D. Energetic.

Dragons, a famous imaginary beast born from fantasy, are often present in stories in the west and east. In both cultures, dragons are generally recognized as huge creatures capable of flight. They have great power and are often connected with magical abilities. However, due to their different cultural roots and images, there exist significant differences in the way dragons are regarded in the west and east, particularly in China.
Chinese dragons are most like snakes, and have four claws and no wings. They often have features of other animals, including carp, tigers, and eagles. However, Western dragons look like huge lizards（蜥蜴） with big claws and large bat-like wings, and are often shown with spines or rough（粗糙的） scales.
In traditional Chinese culture, a dragon is a symbol of luck, power and high position. They can cause weather changes and bring rainfall to the fields to ensure rich harvests. They are considered divine（神圣的） creatures, which hold an important position as the head of the four spirits. Therefore, to symbolize their power, ancient Chinese emperors decorated their clothes with dragon patterns. These clothes are known as dragon robes. Many Chinese view the dragon as a national symbol, proudly referring to themselves as “descendants（后代） of the dragon”. In the west, however, a dragon symbolizes an evil（邪恶的） creature that spreads violence（暴力） and terror throughout the land. They are believed to be transformed by the devil, with the ability to breathe fire or spit poison. Many Western tales show dragons being defeated and killed to protect people from danger.
Today, dragons continue to develop, beating traditional boundaries and finding new significance in global culture. They are no longer connected with evil or good, but rather as complex（复杂的） characters with their own special personalities. For example, Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon begins as a dangerous dragon but turns into a misunderstood being with love. This challenges the idea of dragons as naturally evil, presenting them as complex beings with emotions.
28. What do Western dragons and Eastern dragons have in common
A. They have rough skin. B. They are huge and powerful.
C. They are in the shape of snakes. D. They have big claws and wings.
29. What do we know from Paragraph 3
A. Western dragons are a symbol of authority. B. Dragons in China can protect people from danger.
C. Chinese dragons can control rainfall and breathe fire. D. Dragons are believed to cause mess in Western culture.
30. What is new about dragons in today's global culture
A. They are regarded as adventurous creatures. B. They are closely connected with evil or good.
C. They have more various emotions and personalities. D. They tend to represent human spirits facing challenges.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. The Dragon Elements in Global Culture B. The Origin of Dragons in Chinese History
C. The Magical Animals in Different Countries D. The Images of Dragons in Western Traditions
D
Imagine being able to see perfectly in the dark. This dream has become a reality thanks to a newly developed technology. This technology consists of a thin film that will be placed on the lenses（镜片） of common glasses. The film is cheap to make, easy to produce, and is lightweight. It is actually 100 times thinner than a hair. Yet, despite its tiny size, its performance is impressive; this special film allows you to see in the dark.
This technology is able to transform infrared light（红外光）, which normally can't be seen by the human eye, and turn this into images people can pared to animals, humans have very impoverished night vision. Over the years, night vision devices（设备） have been developed to help the medical, industrial, and scientific worlds. Scientists are able to study night-time animals by using infrared cameras, while companies use infrared imaging for food quality control.
Traditional infrared devices work by discovering the heat of an object. They use a cooler in low temperature and can be easily influenced by the heat noise. Such shortcoming led the team into exploring an improved device.
Their new device is able to function at room temperature. The new technology is unlike the traditional devices. Once this new night vision is used to all, it could save lives. Drivers will be able to see better at night, especially when driving on unlighted roads. Police can use them when searching at night, and hikers who lose their way can feel more confident walking in the dark.
The inventors are excited to make the practical uses. “While this is the first experiment, we are actively working to further advance the technology. Of course, the many uses are exciting and seeing in the dark opens up a new world for all,” said Mohsen Rahmani, lead developer of the technology,
32. What do we know about the film according to the first paragraph
A. It costs a lot to make. B. It is difficult to produce.
C. It looks like regular glasses. D. It helps us see in the dark.
33. What does the underlined word “impoverished” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Clear. B. Poor. C. Amazing. D. Effective.
34. What does Paragraph 4 focus on about the new technology
A. Its likely buyers. B. Its future improvements.
C. Its practical applications. D. Its working conditions.
35. What can be inferred about the technology in Mohsen's words
A. It needs to be further developed. B. It is not exciting enough to scientists,
C. It has become a hit in the experiment. D. It has been available to common people.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many are lucky enough to travel and see different cultures. For those who have not yet seen other cultures, here are five things you can learn from other cultures.
New language
Although learning a new language has become simpler through apps or programmes, nothing compares to learning a language in the place where it is spoken. 36 Communications with others in another country is also important.
Knowledge
You can read books and even eat food from other countries. But those experience will never compare to the knowledge gained by being in another country. 37 If you are unable to travel, pay attention to cultural events that allow you to increase your knowledge.
Unique traditions
38 A tradition in Mexico is Day of the Dead. The people of Mexico believe that each year, the souls of the dead return to visit their loved ones and celebrate just as they did when they were alive.
39
It can be hard to imagine what life would be like if we didn't have the things we take for granted（认为理所当然） every day, such as reliable transportation, clean water, education and a home to live. Therefore, we should value what we have and that we are able to work to provide for ourselves.
We're not so different after all
If you have travelled to another country, the experience is probably completely new. But no matter how much our lifestyles may differ, we are all working toward similar goals in life. 40 Next time you travel to a new country, discover not only the differences, but also the similarities.
A. Value what you have.
B. Imagine what your life will be.
C. Those goals include trying to get the most out of life.
D. Each culture has its own traditions that make it unique.
E. People from different backgrounds can offer something new.
F. Always remember to put yourself in a new and unusual tradition.
G. The only true way is putting yourself in the culture of the language.
