When Joyce Jonathan sang Les Champs- Elysees in both French and Chinese, many people in China learned a new word — chanson, a poetic and romantic type of music from France.
Jonathan is participating in Ride the Wind 2024, and has become the first French singer- songwriter to take part in the hit Chinese music competition formerly known as Sisters Who Make Waves. Produced by Mango TV, the show invites female celebrities (名人), mostly over the age of 30, to stage performances that challenge showbiz (娱乐界) age stereotypes in China.
Jonathan says that her foray (初次尝试) into Chinese reality shows is driven by her love of Chinese culture and wish to“ show a possible bridge between French and Chinese cultures”.
“I haven’t participated in reality shows back in France,” she says. “I accepted this invitation because it is a huge challenge, and because I want to learn more Chinese and learn to sing in Chinese.”
Jonathan’s parents both have a love of Chinese culture, and her mother runs a travel agency that began promoting tours to China in the 1990s. She visited China with her mother for the first time when she was 10 and has since formed a lasting bond with the country.
As a child, Johnathan was given her first scooter and guitar in Beijing. As she grew up, she was attracted to Chinese philosophies like Taoism and Confucianism. Since her first album (专辑) was released in 2010, she has translated several songs into Chinese and has returned to China regularly to perform.
Jonathan already had a sizable following among Chinese students of French before the show, but broader Chinese audiences have since been pleased with her performance.
“France and China have a lot in common,” she says, remarking on the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic (外交的) relations between China and France. “The 60- year friendship between China and France is just the beginning for a new wave of mutual (相互的) learning.”
4. What do we know about Ride the Wind 2024 music competition
A. It is open to participants of different genders.
B. It focuses on celebrities under the age of 30.
C. It refuses showbiz age stereotypes.
D. It is unpopular with Chinese audiences.
5. Why did Jonathan decide to take part in the Chinese reality shows
A. She is curious about China since she hasn’t been China before.
B. She is addicted to Chinese philosophies like Taoism and Confucianism.
C. She has participated in reality shows back in France.
D. She wants to build a bridge between French and Chinese cultures.
6. What can be inferred(推断)about Joyce Jonathan
A. Her parents have little interest in Chinese culture.
B. She wins more popularity in China after the show.
C. She got a bad impression of China when she was 10.
D. She had her first-time performance in China in 2024.
7. What is Jonathan’s attitude towards relations between China and France
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Negative.
C
A casual walk along the Beijing Central Axis, connecting the Drum Tower and the impressive Forbidden City — this was Zhao’s first city-walking journey in the spring of last year. Since then, the 21-year-old student from Beijing Foreign Studies University has remained a city-walk fan, believing it to be the best way to “rediscover a city”.
“I visited Beijing before the start of my college life here, and it was a typical package tour during which going to scenic spots and taking photos was a big thing. The crowded tourist attractions gave me the impression that Beijing was a noisy place,” Zhao said.
With the increasing variety of travel choices, traditional group tours no longer satisfy people who are looking for a more personal and different travel experience and hoping to explore every part of the city in a more immersive (沉浸式的) way.
Compared with tightly scheduled routes (路线) and picture-taking tours, city-walking focuses on free, casual and spontaneous (自发的) experiences. The trending city-walk culture, which encourages experiencing urban life with no transportation means except one’s legs and feet, has also made splashes on various social media platforms.
On the video-sharing app Douyin, the Chinese version of Tik-Tok, a recent video about citywalk routes in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, has gained more than 171,000 likes, with 72,000 viewers of all ages adding the video to their favorites. According to a report from lifestyle-sharing platform Xiaohongshu, in the first half of this year, searches about city-walks increased 30-fold from the previous year. “The route offers a glimpse (瞥见) into the culture and landscape in different historical stages, as well as its beautiful natural scenery,” it said.
Following his experience in Beijing, Zhao has also explored Wuhan in Hubei province, Hangzhou in Zhejiang province and other cities through city-walking tours. “City-walking is all about doing whatever you want in your own exploration of a city, and it is actually the kind of slow-paced, low-carbon lifestyle that I relate to so much,” he said.
8. Why do Zhao call city-walking the best way to “rediscover a city”
A The variety of travel choices is limited.
B. Traditional group tour totally satisfies people’s need.
C. It is a more enjoyable and personal way to explore the city.
D. Common tour wastes much time in taking pictures.
9. What do we know about city-walk culture
A. It refers to a 30-minute walk on the video-sharing app Douyin.
B. It encourages the experience of free urban life without transportation.
C. It offers practical travel tips through social media platforms.
D. It shows historical moments of life-sharing platform Xiaohongshu.
10. What can we learn in the last but one paragraph
A. City-walk has gained popularity on the Internet.
B. City-walk is only loved by young people.
C. City-walk recommends the shortest route from one city to another.
D. City-walk has both advantages and disadvantages.
11. What is the best title of the passage
A. Walking Out from Home B. Culture of Walking Catching on in Cities
C. A Popular Social Platform D. Going Free to Explore the World
D
Teachers play an important part in helping students develop intellectual humility (智性谦逊) , both in how they respond to being wrong or challenge themselves and in the tone and structure they set for classroom discussions.
Students develop more openness and resilience (适应力) in classes where teachers readily admit to their own mistakes and maintain a class environment encouraging students to react respectfully when peers disagree or make mistakes.
And research suggests it’s worth it for teachers to give students more chances to deal with challenging conversations in respectful ways.
In one set of experiments at Columbia University’s Difficult Conversations Lab, pairs of adults were told they would spend 20 minutes trying to find agreement on debatable topics. For some, researchers lead them to think about the topic complicatedly: They provided background information in which opposite views were given, and the pairs were clearly told to “consider different perspectives (观点) .” For others, researchers simply contrasted (对比) opposing views and told the pairs, “ It is important to have a clear perspective.” A third group was given no directions.
While the pairs who took a complex approach were able to write a joint (共同的) statement on their topic, less than half of the pairs who took a simplistic approach came to an agreement. Moreover, the pairs engaged in more complex discussions acted less defensively (防御性地), asked more questions of each other, and felt more positive during the discussions than those who had more black- and- white arguments or no direction at all.
“Dealing with difficult issues has always been uncomfortable, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s something we should shy away from,” McQueen said. “Creating space to analyze nuance (细微差别) and to let young people experience nuance is difficult when there’s so much curriculum content to get through,” McQueen said. “But it’s trying to flesh out (充实) complexity and nuance that’s going to lead to a far greater willingness for people to just look for the areas of gray in life, rather than racing to judgments that are really easy and lazy.”
12. What does “peers” underlined in the second paragraph mean
A. Roommates. B. Playmates. C. Workmates. D. Classmates.
13. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. A doubt about the research methods. B. An explanation of the research results.
C. An introduction to the research process. D. The application of the research findings.
14. What does McQueen suggest in the last paragraph
A. It’s meaningful for students to deal with difficult issues.
B. Students should shy away from uncomfortable things.
C. It’s useless for students to learn curriculum content.
D. Students prefer easy and lazy judgments.
15. Who might be the target readers of the passage
A. Editors. B. Educators. C. Doctors. D. Students.

In the Neighborhood
Ahn actively scrubbed (擦洗) windows, a boring task for her family’s new Vietnamese (越南的) restaurant. They had turned the building from homely to gorgeous, but everything had to be absolutely perfect: unique (独特的) decorations, skillful employees, and tasteful traditional food. Then customers would love the place, making the business a success.
Ahn turned her head to look outside the restaurant as a girl about her age, with long red hair, walked along the street. Ahn’s family had recently moved to this neighborhood, so she had few friends.
The girl stopped to study the sign (招牌) announcing their opening and then looked directly at Ahn with a friendly smile. Ahn smiled back shyly and put up a hand, accidentally waving with the cleaning cloth. The girl laughed and waved back happily.
Ahn didn’t know how to initiate (开始) friendship, but she felt brave, so on a whim she opened the door. “Hello,” she said, adding the first thing in her head, “do you like Vietnamese food ”
“I don’t know, but I like to try new things,” the girl answered, and then she introduced herself as Gabriela.
Ahn could not think of more conversation until she had a sudden idea. “Please wait here,” she said, “and I’ll be right back.” She ran into the kitchen and explained her idea to her father and seconds later Ahn presented a small package to Gabriela. “Some Vietnamese candy for you to try,” she explained. “If you enjoy it, I hope you’ll return to the restaurant sometime, or even visit after school when I’ll be here preparing for the dinner service.” “Excellent, I’ll see you around soon.” Gabriela headed down the street, looking back with a cheerful wave. Ahn spent the rest of the afternoon hoping Gabriela really would return and not think Ahn’s gift was weird (怪异的).
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The following day Ahn was admiring her achievement when she heard unexpected knocking.

When Joyce Jonathan sang Les Champs- Elysees in both French and Chinese, many people in China learned a new word — chanson, a poetic and romantic type of music from France.
Jonathan is participating in Ride the Wind 2024, and has become the first French singer- songwriter to take part in the hit Chinese music competition formerly known as Sisters Who Make Waves. Produced by Mango TV, the show invites female celebrities (名人), mostly over the age of 30, to stage performances that challenge showbiz (娱乐界) age stereotypes in China.
Jonathan says that her foray (初次尝试) into Chinese reality shows is driven by her love of Chinese culture and wish to“ show a possible bridge between French and Chinese cultures”.
“I haven’t participated in reality shows back in France,” she says. “I accepted this invitation because it is a huge challenge, and because I want to learn more Chinese and learn to sing in Chinese.”
Jonathan’s parents both have a love of Chinese culture, and her mother runs a travel agency that began promoting tours to China in the 1990s. She visited China with her mother for the first time when she was 10 and has since formed a lasting bond with the country.
As a child, Johnathan was given her first scooter and guitar in Beijing. As she grew up, she was attracted to Chinese philosophies like Taoism and Confucianism. Since her first album (专辑) was released in 2010, she has translated several songs into Chinese and has returned to China regularly to perform.
Jonathan already had a sizable following among Chinese students of French before the show, but broader Chinese audiences have since been pleased with her performance.
“France and China have a lot in common,” she says, remarking on the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic (外交的) relations between China and France. “The 60- year friendship between China and France is just the beginning for a new wave of mutual (相互的) learning.”

A casual walk along the Beijing Central Axis, connecting the Drum Tower and the impressive Forbidden City — this was Zhao’s first city-walking journey in the spring of last year. Since then, the 21-year-old student from Beijing Foreign Studies University has remained a city-walk fan, believing it to be the best way to “rediscover a city”.
“I visited Beijing before the start of my college life here, and it was a typical package tour during which going to scenic spots and taking photos was a big thing. The crowded tourist attractions gave me the impression that Beijing was a noisy place,” Zhao said.
With the increasing variety of travel choices, traditional group tours no longer satisfy people who are looking for a more personal and different travel experience and hoping to explore every part of the city in a more immersive (沉浸式的) way.
Compared with tightly scheduled routes (路线) and picture-taking tours, city-walking focuses on free, casual and spontaneous (自发的) experiences. The trending city-walk culture, which encourages experiencing urban life with no transportation means except one’s legs and feet, has also made splashes on various social media platforms.
On the video-sharing app Douyin, the Chinese version of Tik-Tok, a recent video about citywalk routes in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, has gained more than 171,000 likes, with 72,000 viewers of all ages adding the video to their favorites. According to a report from lifestyle-sharing platform Xiaohongshu, in the first half of this year, searches about city-walks increased 30-fold from the previous year. “The route offers a glimpse (瞥见) into the culture and landscape in different historical stages, as well as its beautiful natural scenery,” it said.
Following his experience in Beijing, Zhao has also explored Wuhan in Hubei province, Hangzhou in Zhejiang province and other cities through city-walking tours. “City-walking is all about doing whatever you want in your own exploration of a city, and it is actually the kind of slow-paced, low-carbon lifestyle that I relate to so much,” he said.
8. Why do Zhao call city-walking the best way to “rediscover a city”
A. The variety of travel choices is limited.
B. Traditional group tour totally satisfies people’s need.
C. It is a more enjoyable and personal way to explore the city.
D. Common tour wastes much time in taking pictures.
9. What do we know about city-walk culture
A. It refers to a 30-minute walk on the video-sharing app Douyin.
B. It encourages the experience of free urban life without transportation.
C. It offers practical travel tips through social media platforms.
D. It shows historical moments of life-sharing platform Xiaohongshu.
10. What can we learn in the last but one paragraph
A. City-walk has gained popularity on the Internet.
B. City-walk is only loved by young people.
C. City-walk recommends the shortest route from one city to another.
D. City-walk has both advantages and disadvantages.
11. What is the best title of the passage
A. Walking Out from Home B. Culture of Walking Catching on in Cities
C. A Popular Social Platform D. Going Free to Explore the World
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. B
D
Teachers play an important part in helping students develop intellectual humility (智性谦逊) , both in how they respond to being wrong or challenge themselves and in the tone and structure they set for classroom discussions.
Students develop more openness and resilience (适应力) in classes where teachers readily admit to their own mistakes and maintain a class environment encouraging students to react respectfully when peers disagree or make mistakes.
And research suggests it’s worth it for teachers to give students more chances to deal with challenging conversations in respectful ways.
In one set of experiments at Columbia University’s Difficult Conversations Lab, pairs of adults were told they would spend 20 minutes trying to find agreement on debatable topics. For some, researchers lead them to think about the topic complicatedly: They provided background information in which opposite views were given, and the pairs were clearly told to “consider different perspectives (观点) .” For others, researchers simply contrasted (对比) opposing views and told the pairs, “ It is important to have a clear perspective.” A third group was given no directions.
While the pairs who took a complex approach were able to write a joint (共同的) statement on their topic, less than half of the pairs who took a simplistic approach came to an agreement. Moreover, the pairs engaged in more complex discussions acted less defensively (防御性地), asked more questions of each other, and felt more positive during the discussions than those who had more black- and- white arguments or no direction at all.
“Dealing with difficult issues has always been uncomfortable, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s something we should shy away from,” McQueen said. “Creating space to analyze nuance (细微差别) and to let young people experience nuance is difficult when there’s so much curriculum content to get through,” McQueen said. “But it’s trying to flesh out (充实) complexity and nuance that’s going to lead to a far greater willingness for people to just look for the areas of gray in life, rather than racing to judgments that are really easy and lazy.”
12. What does “peers” underlined in the second paragraph mean
A. Roommates. B. Playmates. C. Workmates. D. Classmates.
13. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. A doubt about the research methods. B. An explanation of the research results.
C. An introduction to the research process. D. The application of the research findings.
14. What does McQueen suggest in the last paragraph
A. It’s meaningful for students to deal with difficult issues.
B. Students should shy away from uncomfortable things.
C. It’s useless for students to learn curriculum content.
D. Students prefer easy and lazy judgments.
15. Who might be the target readers of the passage
A. Editors. B. Educators. C. Doctors. D. Students.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B

In the Neighborhood
Ahn actively scrubbed (擦洗) windows, a boring task for her family’s new Vietnamese (越南的) restaurant. They had turned the building from homely to gorgeous, but everything had to be absolutely perfect: unique (独特的) decorations, skillful employees, and tasteful traditional food. Then customers would love the place, making the business a success.
Ahn turned her head to look outside the restaurant as a girl about her age, with long red hair, walked along the street. Ahn’s family had recently moved to this neighborhood, so she had few friends.
The girl stopped to study the sign (招牌) announcing their opening and then looked directly at Ahn with a friendly smile. Ahn smiled back shyly and put up a hand, accidentally waving with the cleaning cloth. The girl laughed and waved back happily.
Ahn didn’t know how to initiate (开始) friendship, but she felt brave, so on a whim she opened the door. “Hello,” she said, adding the first thing in her head, “do you like Vietnamese food ”
“I don’t know, but I like to try new things,” the girl answered, and then she introduced herself as Gabriela.
Ahn could not think of more conversation until she had a sudden idea. “Please wait here,” she said, “and I’ll be right back.” She ran into the kitchen and explained her idea to her father and seconds later Ahn presented a small package to Gabriela. “Some Vietnamese candy for you to try,” she explained. “If you enjoy it, I hope you’ll return to the restaurant sometime, or even visit after school when I’ll be here preparing for the dinner service.” “Excellent, I’ll see you around soon.” Gabriela headed down the street, looking back with a cheerful wave. Ahn spent the rest of the afternoon hoping Gabriela really would return and not think Ahn’s gift was weird (怪异的).
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The following day, Ahn was admiring her achievement when she heard unexpected knocking.

As they snacked on the biscuits, Ahn fumbled (支支吾吾) for conversation and considered an idea.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The following day, Ahn was admiring her achievement when she heard unexpected knocking. She rushed to the door, her heart pounding with excitement and hope. Opening it, she found Gabriela standing there, a bright smile on her face. “I really liked that candy you gave me, so I wanted to see if you had anything else I could try.” Ahn’s face lit up with joy. “Of course! Come in. I’ve got some homemade Vietnamese tea and some more treats for you to sample.” Gabriela stepped inside, and Ahn felt a warmth in her heart that she hadn’t felt since arriving in the neighborhood.
As they snacked on the biscuits, Ahn fumbled (支支吾吾) for conversation and considered an idea. “Gabriela, do you have time later I’d love to show you around the restaurant, give you a behind-the-scenes tour, and maybe even teach you how to make some simple Vietnamese dishes.” Gabriela’s eyes lit up with curiosity and excitement. “That sounds amazing! Can we do it tomorrow after school ” Ahn nodded eagerly, already planning out the perfect itinerary for their cultural exchange. As they finished their tea and snacks, a new friendship was born, one that would enrich both their lives and bring them closer to the heart of the vibrant neighborhood they now called home.

When Joyce Jonathan sang Les Champs- Elysees in both French and Chinese, many people in China learned a new word — chanson, a poetic and romantic type of music from France.
Jonathan is participating in Ride the Wind 2024, and has become the first French singer- songwriter to take part in the hit Chinese music competition formerly known as Sisters Who Make Waves. Produced by Mango TV, the show invites female celebrities (名人), mostly over the age of 30, to stage performances that challenge showbiz (娱乐界) age stereotypes in China.
Jonathan says that her foray (初次尝试) into Chinese reality shows is driven by her love of Chinese culture and wish to“ show a possible bridge between French and Chinese cultures”.
“I haven’t participated in reality shows back in France,” she says. “I accepted this invitation because it is a huge challenge, and because I want to learn more Chinese and learn to sing in Chinese.”
Jonathan’s parents both have a love of Chinese culture, and her mother runs a travel agency that began promoting tours to China in the 1990s. She visited China with her mother for the first time when she was 10 and has since formed a lasting bond with the country.
As a child, Johnathan was given her first scooter and guitar in Beijing. As she grew up, she was attracted to Chinese philosophies like Taoism and Confucianism. Since her first album (专辑) was released in 2010, she has translated several songs into Chinese and has returned to China regularly to perform.
Jonathan already had a sizable following among Chinese students of French before the show, but broader Chinese audiences have since been pleased with her performance.
“France and China have a lot in common,” she says, remarking on the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic (外交的) relations between China and France. “The 60- year friendship between China and France is just the beginning for a new wave of mutual (相互的) learning.”
4. What do we know about Ride the Wind 2024 music competition
A. It is open to participants of different genders.
B. It focuses on celebrities under the age of 30.
C. It refuses showbiz age stereotypes.
D. It is unpopular with Chinese audiences.
5. Why did Jonathan decide to take part in the Chinese reality shows

A casual walk along the Beijing Central Axis, connecting the Drum Tower and the impressive Forbidden City — this was Zhao’s first city-walking journey in the spring of last year. Since then, the 21-year-old student from Beijing Foreign Studies University has remained a city-walk fan, believing it to be the best way to “rediscover a city”.
“I visited Beijing before the start of my college life here, and it was a typical package tour during which going to scenic spots and taking photos was a big thing. The crowded tourist attractions gave me the impression that Beijing was a noisy place,” Zhao said.
With the increasing variety of travel choices, traditional group tours no longer satisfy people who are looking for a more personal and different travel experience and hoping to explore every part of the city in a more immersive (沉浸式的) way.
Compared with tightly scheduled routes (路线) and picture-taking tours, city-walking focuses on free, casual and spontaneous (自发的) experiences. The trending city-walk culture, which encourages experiencing urban life with no transportation means except one’s legs and feet, has also made splashes on various social media platforms.
On the video-sharing app Douyin, the Chinese version of Tik-Tok, a recent video about citywalk routes in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, has gained more than 171,000 likes, with 72,000 viewers of all ages adding the video to their favorites. According to a report from lifestyle-sharing platform Xiaohongshu, in the first half of this year, searches about city-walks increased 30-fold from the previous year. “The route offers a glimpse (瞥见) into the culture and landscape in different historical stages, as well as its beautiful natural scenery,” it said.
Following his experience in Beijing, Zhao has also explored Wuhan in Hubei province, Hangzhou in Zhejiang province and other cities through city-walking tours. “City-walking is all about doing whatever you want in your own exploration of a city, and it is actually the kind of slow-paced, low-carbon lifestyle that I relate to so much,” he said.
8. Why do Zhao call city-walking the best way to “rediscover a city”
A The variety of travel choices is limited.
B. Traditional group tour totally satisfies people’s need.
C. It is a more enjoyable and personal way to explore the city.
D. Common tour wastes much time in taking pictures.
9. What do we know about city-walk culture
A. It refers to a 30-minute walk on the video-sharing app Douyin.
B. It encourages the experience of free urban life without transportation.
C. It offers practical travel tips through social media platforms.
D. It shows historical moments of life-sharing platform Xiaohongshu.
10. What can we learn in the last but one paragraph
A. City-walk has gained popularity on the Internet.
B. City-walk is only loved by young people.
C. City-walk recommends the shortest route from one city to another.
D. City-walk has both advantages and disadvantages.
11. What is the best title of the passage
A. Walking Out from Home B. Culture of Walking Catching on in Cities
C. A Popular Social Platform D. Going Free to Explore the World
D
Teachers play an important part in helping students develop intellectual humility (智性谦逊) , both in how they respond to being wrong or challenge themselves and in the tone and structure they set for classroom discussions.
Students develop more openness and resilience (适应力) in classes where teachers readily admit to their own mistakes and maintain a class environment encouraging students to react respectfully when peers disagree or make mistakes.
And research suggests it’s worth it for teachers to give students more chances to deal with challenging conversations in respectful ways.
In one set of experiments at Columbia University’s Difficult Conversations Lab, pairs of adults were told they would spend 20 minutes trying to find agreement on debatable topics. For some, researchers lead them to think about the topic complicatedly: They provided background information in which opposite views were given, and the pairs were clearly told to “consider different perspectives (观点) .” For others, researchers simply contrasted (对比) opposing views and told the pairs, “ It is important to have a clear perspective.” A third group was given no directions.
While the pairs who took a complex approach were able to write a joint (共同的) statement on their topic, less than half of the pairs who took a simplistic approach came to an agreement. Moreover, the pairs engaged in more complex discussions acted less defensively (防御性地), asked more questions of each other, and felt more positive during the discussions than those who had more black- and- white arguments or no direction at all.
“Dealing with difficult issues has always been uncomfortable, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s something we should shy away from,” McQueen said. “Creating space to analyze nuance (细微差别) and to let young people experience nuance is difficult when there’s so much curriculum content to get through,” McQueen said. “But it’s trying to flesh out (充实) complexity and nuance that’s going to lead to a far greater willingness for people to just look for the areas of gray in life, rather than racing to judgments that are really easy and lazy.”
12. What does “peers” underlined in the second paragraph mean
A. Roommates. B. Playmates. C. Workmates. D. Classmates.
13. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. A doubt about the research methods. B. An explanation of the research results.
C. An introduction to the research process. D. The application of the research findings.
14. What does McQueen suggest in the last paragraph
A. It’s meaningful for students to deal with difficult issues.
B. Students should shy away from uncomfortable things.
C. It’s useless for students to learn curriculum content.
D. Students prefer easy and lazy judgments.
15. Who might be the target readers of the passage
A. Editors. B. Educators. C. Doctors. D. Students.

In the Neighborhood
Ahn actively scrubbed (擦洗) windows, a boring task for her family’s new Vietnamese (越南的) restaurant. They had turned the building from homely to gorgeous, but everything had to be absolutely perfect: unique (独特的) decorations, skillful employees, and tasteful traditional food. Then customers would love the place, making the business a success.
Ahn turned her head to look outside the restaurant as a girl about her age, with long red hair, walked along the street. Ahn’s family had recently moved to this neighborhood, so she had few friends.
The girl stopped to study the sign (招牌) announcing their opening and then looked directly at Ahn with a friendly smile. Ahn smiled back shyly and put up a hand, accidentally waving with the cleaning cloth. The girl laughed and waved back happily.
Ahn didn’t know how to initiate (开始) friendship, but she felt brave, so on a whim she opened the door. “Hello,” she said, adding the first thing in her head, “do you like Vietnamese food ”
“I don’t know, but I like to try new things,” the girl answered, and then she introduced herself as Gabriela.
Ahn could not think of more conversation until she had a sudden idea. “Please wait here,” she said, “and I’ll be right back.” She ran into the kitchen and explained her idea to her father and seconds later Ahn presented a small package to Gabriela. “Some Vietnamese candy for you to try,” she explained. “If you enjoy it, I hope you’ll return to the restaurant sometime, or even visit after school when I’ll be here preparing for the dinner service.” “Excellent, I’ll see you around soon.” Gabriela headed down the street, looking back with a cheerful wave. Ahn spent the rest of the afternoon hoping Gabriela really would return and not think Ahn’s gift was weird (怪异的).
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

When Joyce Jonathan sang Les Champs- Elysees in both French and Chinese, many people in China learned a new word — chanson, a poetic and romantic type of music from France.
Jonathan is participating in Ride the Wind 2024, and has become the first French singer- songwriter to take part in the hit Chinese music competition formerly known as Sisters Who Make Waves. Produced by Mango TV, the show invites female celebrities (名人), mostly over the age of 30, to stage performances that challenge showbiz (娱乐界) age stereotypes in China.
Jonathan says that her foray (初次尝试) into Chinese reality shows is driven by her love of Chinese culture and wish to“ show a possible bridge between French and Chinese cultures”.
“I haven’t participated in reality shows back in France,” she says. “I accepted this invitation because it is a huge challenge, and because I want to learn more Chinese and learn to sing in Chinese.”
Jonathan’s parents both have a love of Chinese culture, and her mother runs a travel agency that began promoting tours to China in the 1990s. She visited China with her mother for the first time when she was 10 and has since formed a lasting bond with the country.
As a child, Johnathan was given her first scooter and guitar in Beijing. As she grew up, she was attracted to Chinese philosophies like Taoism and Confucianism. Since her first album (专辑) was released in 2010, she has translated several songs into Chinese and has returned to China regularly to perform.
Jonathan already had a sizable following among Chinese students of French before the show, but broader Chinese audiences have since been pleased with her performance.
“France and China have a lot in common,” she says, remarking on the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic (外交的) relations between China and France. “The 60- year friendship between China and France is just the beginning for a new wave of mutual (相互的) learning.”
4. What do we know about Ride the Wind 2024 music competition
A. It is open to participants of different genders.
B. It focuses on celebrities under the age of 30.
C. It refuses showbiz age stereotypes.
D. It is unpopular with Chinese audiences.

47. 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。
In the Neighborhood
Ahn actively scrubbed (擦洗) windows, a boring task for her family’s new Vietnamese (越南的) restaurant. They had turned the building from homely to gorgeous, but everything had to be absolutely perfect: unique (独特的) decorations, skillful employees, and tasteful traditional food. Then customers would love the place, making the business a success.
Ahn turned her head to look outside the restaurant as a girl about her age, with long red hair, walked along the street. Ahn’s family had recently moved to this neighborhood, so she had few friends.
The girl stopped to study the sign (招牌) announcing their opening and then looked directly at Ahn with a friendly smile. Ahn smiled back shyly and put up a hand, accidentally waving with the cleaning cloth. The girl laughed and waved back happily.
Ahn didn’t know how to initiate (开始) friendship, but she felt brave, so on a whim she opened the door. “Hello,” she said, adding the first thing in her head, “do you like Vietnamese food ”
“I don’t know, but I like to try new things,” the girl answered, and then she introduced herself as Gabriela.
Ahn could not think of more conversation until she had a sudden idea. “Please wait here,” she said, “and I’ll be right back.” She ran into the kitchen and explained her idea to her father and seconds later Ahn presented a small package to Gabriela. “Some Vietnamese candy for you to try,” she explained. “If you enjoy it, I hope you’ll return to the restaurant sometime, or even visit after school when I’ll be here preparing for the dinner service.” “Excellent, I’ll see you around soon.” Gabriela headed down the street, looking back with a cheerful wave. Ahn spent the rest of the afternoon hoping Gabriela really would return and not think Ahn’s gift was weird (怪异的).
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The following day, Ahn was admiring her achievement when she heard unexpected knocking.

As they snacked on the biscuits, Ahn fumbled (支支吾吾) for conversation and considered an idea.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The following day, Ahn was admiring her achievement when she heard unexpected knocking. She rushed to the door, her heart pounding with excitement and hope. Opening it, she found Gabriela standing there, a bright smile on her face. “I really liked that candy you gave me, so I wanted to see if you had anything else I could try.” Ahn’s face lit up with joy. “Of course! Come in. I’ve got some homemade Vietnamese tea and some more treats for you to sample.” Gabriela stepped inside, and Ahn felt a warmth in her heart that she hadn’t felt since arriving in the neighborhood.
As they snacked on the biscuits, Ahn fumbled (支支吾吾) for conversation and considered an idea. “Gabriela, do you have time later I’d love to show you around the restaurant, give you a behind-the-scenes tour, and maybe even teach you how to make some simple Vietnamese dishes.” Gabriela’s eyes lit up with curiosity and excitement. “That sounds amazing! Can we do it tomorrow after school ” Ahn nodded eagerly, already planning out the perfect itinerary for their cultural exchange. As they finished their tea and snacks, a new friendship was born, one that would enrich both their lives and bring them closer to the heart of the vibrant neighborhood they now called home.
