The cost of living in countries like the US, Britain, Australia or France has skyrocketed in recent years. However, if you’re willing to leave your country and explore life in other areas, there are many countries boasting an extremely cheap and low cost of living. Check out the following countries when planning your next move.
Ecuador
Ecuador is similar to the United States in many ways, and as a result has become a popular American getaway. They even use the US Dollar for their currency. In this country, it’s cheaper to eat out every day than cook for yourself on a budget in the US. You can even buy a building for around $ 50, 000 and hire someone to look after it while you’re away.
Mexico
Although the country is known for its poverty ridden streets, there $are many wealthier areas that provide every facility you might need. You can live off a mere $ 700 to $ 800 a month in Mexico, and this includes rent for a nice place, facilities, food, and any sightseeing.
Argentina
Argentina has been a popular tourist destination for many years. It has great restaurants, a rich history, and many places to explore. Not to mention, it’s not very expensive to live here. A decent sized home can cost around $ 139, 000, which is relatively cheap in relation to homes in the United States.
Vietnam
Vietnam has also become a popular tourist destination in recent years. There are many million-dollar luxury homes by the beach, but you can find a modest flat or a small home for around $ 25,000 to $ 50,000 if you search in the right areas.

When I was 12 years old, I already knew that my teen years were going to be the worst years of my life. I was a total outsider, bullied (欺凌) at school. I felt completely alone in my small town.
But by starting to do volunteer work when I was 14, I turned my problem into a passion for helping others. The opportunity to practice kindness made me feel like my life had a greater purpose. The more positive energy I shared, the more kindness and appreciation I received. I realized that my purpose in life would be to reach out to people, specifically teenagers, and help them feel less alone.
Books were my true friends back then. I was so thankful that the authors wrote those books. The kindness they offered me with their books saved my life. One of my biggest dreams was to become an author so I could write books that would help other teenagers the way those books helped me.
After surviving terrible experiences at school and at home, I made a choice to take the optimistic, positive road in the next steps of my journey. My dream career, one I thought was only possible for the authors I loved, is what I am doing now. I have been a full-time author of teen novels since 2007 and am grateful for this amazing opportunity to reach out to readers every single day.
Kindness saved me when I needed help the most. Even small acts of kindness can change someone’s life. You never know what someone else is going through. But by practicing daily kindness, you become an architect of positive change.
4. What was the author’s life like when he was 12
A. Boring. B. Peaceful. C. Painful. D. Meaningful.

People perform graceful moves, all while standing on a bamboo strip in the river. You may think it’s a scene from an art movie, but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage: bamboo drifting (独竹漂).
Bamboo drifting dated back to over 2,000 years ago in the Chishui River area of Guizhou. During the Qin Dynasty, the Bozhou district of Zunyi city was known for its high-quality nanmu. It was in great demand by the royal court more than 2,000 kilometers to the north. With no transportation along the Chishui River, people had to stand on one log (原木) to drift down the river. Later, local people began to compete along the way and the game of wood drifting was born. In the Qing Dynasty, wood drifting became bamboo drifting because of bamboo's lower price.
Now, communities in Guizhou hold bamboo drifting competitions every year during Dragon Boat Festival. Due to the great strength and balance it takes for one to master this act, bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list.
Yang Liu, 24, is an inheritor of bamboo drifting. Yang said the most difficult part of bamboo drifting was keeping one’s balance. “I fell in the water several times when I was practicing.” she told.
“Usually, the bamboo under your feet is about 9 meters long, and the bamboo in your hands is about 5 meters. If the length or diameter of the bamboo is not long enough, it will not be buoyant (有浮力的）enough to float. So we should fight against the water flow by continuously changing the angle (角度).” Yang added.
But the love for the ancient skill keeps Yang going. In the past 17 years, she has drifted all year round, in winter cold and summer heat.
Yang also produces new ideas when spreading the culture of bamboo drifting. For example, she connects dance with bamboo drifting to make it more graceful and wears hanfu when performing, creating a beautiful feel. In 2020. Yang registered on social media platforms and posted her videos. “I want to spread it to other countries so that more people around the world will like Chinese culture.” she told China Daily.
8. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2
A. The use of bamboo drifting. B. The birthplace of bamboo drifting.
C. The acting skills for bamboo drifting D. The historical development of bamboo drifting.
9. Why was bamboo drifting listed into the national intangible cultural heritage
A. It spreads Chinese culture to the world
B. It enjoys great popularity among Guizhou people.
C. It’s physically and technically demanding for performers.
D. It’s an important activity during the Dragon Boat Festival.
10. What is the most challenging for bamboo drifting
A. Keeping one’s balance. B. Performing graceful moves.
C. Choosing bamboos of proper size. D. Continuously changing the angle
11. Which of the following best describes Yang Liu
A. Responsible and brave. B. Creative and determined.
C. Hard-working and outgoing. D. Knowledgeable and competitive.
D
Smoking in your own home in Thailand may now be considered a crime, if the smoke is considered harmful to other people in the house.
The new law, Family Protection and Development Promotion Act, aiming at controlling smoking at home which might be hazardous for others' health living under the same roof，was initiated by the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security and was announced in the Royal Gazette on May 22, 2019. It came into force on August 20.
According to the center for research and knowledge management for tobacco control, at the Faculty of Medical Science of Mahidol University, there are about 4.9 million households where one or more family members smoke. An average of 10.3 million people have unwittingly（不知不觉地） become passive smokers because they’ve been breathing smoke at home. Scientific studies show that passive smokers are at greater risk of being affected by cancer. Of 75 child patients from houses where smoking is practiced, 76% of them were found to have nicotine traces in their urine（尿液）, with 43% of them having nicotine content exceeding（超过） permissible levels.
Smoking at home also “may lead to physical or emotional violence” because of aggressiveness when there is a lack of smoking, and might as well ruin relationships between smokers and non-smoker family members.
According to the new law, anyone who thinks they are affected by domestic smoking can report to government departments concerned so that officials will be sent to investigate and take legal action against the smokers. Once convicted(证明有罪的), the court may order a person to receive treatment to quit smoking in an attempt to protect the person's family.
12. What does the underlined word “hazardous” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. risky B. beneficial
C. influential D. dangerous
13. How does the author organize Paragraph 3
A. by listing figures B. by giving examples
C. by comparing the differences D. by explaining the reasons
14. We can learn from the passage that__________
A. smoking anywhere in Thailand is considered a crime.
B. passive smokers are more likely to have lung cancer .
C. 76% of the children in Thailand have nicotine traces in their urine.
D. smoking at home may hurt other family members both physically and emotionally.
15. According to the new law, ___________
A. anybody must report to the officials once they are affected.
B. officials will take legal action against all the people concerned .
C. smoking in one’s own home in Thailand may now be considered a crime.
D. the court may order a smoker to stop smoking to protect all nonsmokers .

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。
It was a warm summer evening, and the excitement in the air was evident as students gathered in the school hall for the annual welcome party. The event was a chance for everyone to showcase their talents and bond with new classmates. I had been practicing for weeks, preparing a dance routine that I hoped would impress my peers and help me make new friends.
As the evening progressed, I felt a mix of nerves and excitement building up inside me. The performances before mine were impressive, and the audience’s applause (掌声) and cheers filled the hall with energy. Finally, my name was called, and it was my turn to step onto the stage.
Everything was going smoothly until, halfway through my routine, disaster struck. My shoe lace (鞋带) had come undone, and before I knew it, my foot caught on the lace, causing me to trip and fall hard onto the stage.
Time seemed to stop moving as I lay there, and there was silence in the hall. Then, the silence was broken by laughter and the sound of cameras clicking. Some students were even pointing and laughing. My face turned red with embarrassment, and I wished the ground would swallow (吞下) me up right then and there.
Just as I was about to get up, still terrified, my teacher, Mrs. Johnson, appeared on stage. She walked over to me, her expression showing concern and determination. Gently helping me to my feet, she turned to the audience and addressed them with a firm voice.
“Everyone makes mistakes,” she said, her voice ringing through the hall. “It takes a lot of courage to perform in front of the audience, and we should support each other, not make fun of each other. I expect better from all of you. We are a community, and we must lift each other up, especially in moments like these.” The hall suddenly fell silent.
注意：
1.续写词数应为 150 左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
With a smile, Mrs. Johnson gave me a gentle push to continue my performance.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After my performance, I walked off the stage.

People perform graceful moves, all while standing on a bamboo strip in the river. You may think it’s a scene from an art movie, but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage: bamboo drifting (独竹漂).
Bamboo drifting dated back to over 2,000 years ago in the Chishui River area of Guizhou. During the Qin Dynasty, the Bozhou district of Zunyi city was known for its high-quality nanmu. It was in great demand by the royal court more than 2,000 kilometers to the north. With no transportation along the Chishui River, people had to stand on one log (原木) to drift down the river. Later, local people began to compete along the way and the game of wood drifting was born. In the Qing Dynasty, wood drifting became bamboo drifting because of bamboo's lower price.
Now, communities in Guizhou hold bamboo drifting competitions every year during Dragon Boat Festival. Due to the great strength and balance it takes for one to master this act, bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list.
Yang Liu, 24, is an inheritor of bamboo drifting. Yang said the most difficult part of bamboo drifting was keeping one’s balance. “I fell in the water several times when I was practicing.” she told.
“Usually, the bamboo under your feet is about 9 meters long, and the bamboo in your hands is about 5 meters. If the length or diameter of the bamboo is not long enough, it will not be buoyant (有浮力的）enough to float. So we should fight against the water flow by continuously changing the angle (角度).” Yang added.
But the love for the ancient skill keeps Yang going. In the past 17 years, she has drifted all year round, in winter cold and summer heat.
Yang also produces new ideas when spreading the culture of bamboo drifting. For example, she connects dance with bamboo drifting to make it more graceful and wears hanfu when performing, creating a beautiful feel. In 2020. Yang registered on social media platforms and posted her videos. “I want to spread it to other countries so that more people around the world will like Chinese culture.” she told China Daily.
8. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2
A. The use of bamboo drifting. B. The birthplace of bamboo drifting.
C. The acting skills for bamboo drifting D. The historical development of bamboo drifting.
9. Why was bamboo drifting listed into the national intangible cultural heritage
A. It spreads Chinese culture to the world
B. It enjoys great popularity among Guizhou people.
C. It’s physically and technically demanding for performers.
D. It’s an important activity during the Dragon Boat Festival.
10. What is the most challenging for bamboo drifting
A. Keeping one’s balance. B. Performing graceful moves.
C. Choosing bamboos of proper size. D. Continuously changing the angle
11. Which of the following best describes Yang Liu

Smoking in your own home in Thailand may now be considered a crime, if the smoke is considered harmful to other people in the house.
The new law, Family Protection and Development Promotion Act, aiming at controlling smoking at home which might be hazardous for others' health living under the same roof，was initiated by the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security and was announced in the Royal Gazette on May 22, 2019. It came into force on August 20.
According to the center for research and knowledge management for tobacco control, at the Faculty of Medical Science of Mahidol University, there are about 4.9 million households where one or more family members smoke. An average of 10.3 million people have unwittingly（不知不觉地） become passive smokers because they’ve been breathing smoke at home. Scientific studies show that passive smokers are at greater risk of being affected by cancer. Of 75 child patients from houses where smoking is practiced, 76% of them were found to have nicotine traces in their urine（尿液）, with 43% of them having nicotine content exceeding（超过） permissible levels.
Smoking at home also “may lead to physical or emotional violence” because of aggressiveness when there is a lack of smoking, and might as well ruin relationships between smokers and non-smoker family members.
According to the new law, anyone who thinks they are affected by domestic smoking can report to government departments concerned so that officials will be sent to investigate and take legal action against the smokers. Once convicted(证明有罪的), the court may order a person to receive treatment to quit smoking in an attempt to protect the person's family.
12. What does the underlined word “hazardous” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. risky B. beneficial
C. influential D. dangerous
13. How does the author organize Paragraph 3

C. 76% of the children in Thailand have nicotine traces in their urine.
D. smoking at home may hurt other family members both physically and emotionally.
15. According to the new law, ___________
A. anybody must report to the officials once they are affected.
B. officials will take legal action against all the people concerned .
C. smoking in one’s own home in Thailand may now be considered a crime.

【答案】Should We Have Breakfast in the Classroom
Dear editor,
Last week, our class held a discussion about whether we should have breakfast in the classroom.
Some students think that when they are having breakfast in the classroom, they can study or read at the same time, which can save their time and is beneficial to their studies. And they can talk with their classmates while eating.
While others think that it is bad for our health to have breakfast in the classroom. Besides, some kinds of food smell unpleasant.
In my view, it is not good for us to have breakfast in the classroom. We should get up earlier and have breakfast at home.
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
It was a warm summer evening, and the excitement in the air was evident as students gathered in the school hall for the annual welcome party. The event was a chance for everyone to showcase their talents and bond with new classmates. I had been practicing for weeks, preparing a dance routine that I hoped would impress my peers and help me make new friends.
As the evening progressed, I felt a mix of nerves and excitement building up inside me. The performances before mine were impressive, and the audience’s applause (掌声) and cheers filled the hall with energy. Finally, my name was called, and it was my turn to step onto the stage.
Everything was going smoothly until, halfway through my routine, disaster struck. My shoe lace (鞋带) had come undone, and before I knew it, my foot caught on the lace, causing me to trip and fall hard onto the stage.
Time seemed to stop moving as I lay there, and there was silence in the hall. Then, the silence was broken by laughter and the sound of cameras clicking. Some students were even pointing and laughing. My face turned red with embarrassment, and I wished the ground would swallow (吞下) me up right then and there.
Just as I was about to get up, still terrified, my teacher, Mrs. Johnson, appeared on stage. She walked over to me, her expression showing concern and determination. Gently helping me to my feet, she turned to the audience and addressed them with a firm voice.
“Everyone makes mistakes,” she said, her voice ringing through the hall. “It takes a lot of courage to perform in front of the audience, and we should support each other, not make fun of each other. I expect better from all of you. We are a community, and we must lift each other up, especially in moments like these.” The hall suddenly fell silent.
注意：
1.续写词数应为 150 左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
With a smile, Mrs. Johnson gave me a gentle push to continue my performance.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After my performance, I walked off the stage.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 With a smile, Mrs. Johnson gave me a gentle push to continue my performance. Gathering all my courage, I retied my shoelaces, took a deep breath, and reset my position. The audience, inspired by Mrs. Johnson’s action, started clapping rhythmically to encourage me. Fueled by their support, I launched into my routine once more, this time with more passion and energy. As I flowed into the moves, my confidence grew, and soon, I was lost in the music, forgetting the earlier misadventure. The applause grew louder as I finished my dance with a flourish, leaving the stage on my final note.
After my performance, I walked off the stage. My peers hurried to greet me with praises and pats on the back. “That was amazing!” said one, while another added, “I could never have done that after a fall!” Their genuine admiration warmed my heart and melted away the embarrassment I felt before. I learned that stumbling wasn’t the end; it was part of the journey. Mrs. Johnson’s intervention and the support highlighted the importance of kindness and encouragement. This experience not only helped me forge new friendships but also taught us all to uplift one another in the face of adversity.

The cost of living in countries like the US, Britain, Australia or France has skyrocketed in recent years. However, if you’re willing to leave your country and explore life in other areas, there are many countries boasting an extremely cheap and low cost of living. Check out the following countries when planning your next move.
Ecuador
Ecuador is similar to the United States in many ways, and as a result has become a popular American getaway. They even use the US Dollar for their currency. In this country, it’s cheaper to eat out every day than cook for yourself on a budget in the US. You can even buy a building for around $ 50, 000 and hire someone to look after it while you’re away.
Mexico
Although the country is known for its poverty ridden streets, there $are many wealthier areas that provide every facility you might need. You can live off a mere $ 700 to $ 800 a month in Mexico, and this includes rent for a nice place, facilities, food, and any sightseeing.
Argentina
Argentina has been a popular tourist destination for many years. It has great restaurants, a rich history, and many places to explore. Not to mention, it’s not very expensive to live here. A decent sized home can cost around $ 139, 000, which is relatively cheap in relation to homes in the United States.
Vietnam
Vietnam has also become a popular tourist destination in recent years. There are many million-dollar luxury homes by the beach, but you can find a modest flat or a small home for around $ 25,000 to $ 50,000 if you search in the right areas.
1 In which country is the US Dollar used for its currency
A. Argentina. B. Mexico.
C. Ecuador. D. Vietnam.
2. How much does it cost to live in Mexico for a year
A. About $ 7,000. B. About $ 8,000.

When I was 12 years old, I already knew that my teen years were going to be the worst years of my life. I was a total outsider, bullied (欺凌) at school. I felt completely alone in my small town.
But by starting to do volunteer work when I was 14, I turned my problem into a passion for helping others. The opportunity to practice kindness made me feel like my life had a greater purpose. The more positive energy I shared, the more kindness and appreciation I received. I realized that my purpose in life would be to reach out to people, specifically teenagers, and help them feel less alone.
Books were my true friends back then. I was so thankful that the authors wrote those books. The kindness they offered me with their books saved my life. One of my biggest dreams was to become an author so I could write books that would help other teenagers the way those books helped me.
After surviving terrible experiences at school and at home, I made a choice to take the optimistic, positive road in the next steps of my journey. My dream career, one I thought was only possible for the authors I loved, is what I am doing now. I have been a full-time author of teen novels since 2007 and am grateful for this amazing opportunity to reach out to readers every single day.
Kindness saved me when I needed help the most. Even small acts of kindness can change someone’s life. You never know what someone else is going through. But by practicing daily kindness, you become an architect of positive change.
4. What was the author’s life like when he was 12
A. Boring. B. Peaceful. C. Painful. D. Meaningful.

It was a warm summer evening, and the excitement in the air was evident as students gathered in the school hall for the annual welcome party. The event was a chance for everyone to showcase their talents and bond with new classmates. I had been practicing for weeks, preparing a dance routine that I hoped would impress my peers and help me make new friends.
As the evening progressed, I felt a mix of nerves and excitement building up inside me. The performances before mine were impressive, and the audience’s applause (掌声) and cheers filled the hall with energy. Finally, my name was called, and it was my turn to step onto the stage.
Everything was going smoothly until, halfway through my routine, disaster struck. My shoe lace (鞋带) had come undone, and before I knew it, my foot caught on the lace, causing me to trip and fall hard onto the stage.
Time seemed to stop moving as I lay there, and there was silence in the hall. Then, the silence was broken by laughter and the sound of cameras clicking. Some students were even pointing and laughing. My face turned red with embarrassment, and I wished the ground would swallow (吞下) me up right then and there.
Just as I was about to get up, still terrified, my teacher, Mrs. Johnson, appeared on stage. She walked over to me, her expression showing concern and determination. Gently helping me to my feet, she turned to the audience and addressed them with a firm voice.
“Everyone makes mistakes,” she said, her voice ringing through the hall. “It takes a lot of courage to perform in front of the audience, and we should support each other, not make fun of each other. I expect better from all of you. We are a community, and we must lift each other up, especially in moments like these.” The hall suddenly fell silent.
注意：
1.续写词数应为 150 左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
With a smile, Mrs. Johnson gave me a gentle push to continue my performance.

The cost of living in countries like the US, Britain, Australia or France has skyrocketed in recent years. However, if you’re willing to leave your country and explore life in other areas, there are many countries boasting an extremely cheap and low cost of living. Check out the following countries when planning your next move.
Ecuador
Ecuador is similar to the United States in many ways, and as a result has become a popular American getaway. They even use the US Dollar for their currency. In this country, it’s cheaper to eat out every day than cook for yourself on a budget in the US. You can even buy a building for around $ 50, 000 and hire someone to look after it while you’re away.
Mexico
Although the country is known for its poverty ridden streets, there $are many wealthier areas that provide every facility you might need. You can live off a mere $ 700 to $ 800 a month in Mexico, and this includes rent for a nice place, facilities, food, and any sightseeing.
Argentina
Argentina has been a popular tourist destination for many years. It has great restaurants, a rich history, and many places to explore. Not to mention, it’s not very expensive to live here. A decent sized home can cost around $ 139, 000, which is relatively cheap in relation to homes in the United States.
Vietnam
Vietnam has also become a popular tourist destination in recent years. There are many million-dollar luxury homes by the beach, but you can find a modest flat or a small home for around $ 25,000 to $ 50,000 if you search in the right areas.

When I was 12 years old, I already knew that my teen years were going to be the worst years of my life. I was a total outsider, bullied (欺凌) at school. I felt completely alone in my small town.
But by starting to do volunteer work when I was 14 I turned my problem into a passion for helping others. The opportunity to practice kindness made me feel like my life had a greater purpose. The more positive energy I shared, the more kindness and appreciation I received. I realized that my purpose in life would be to reach out to people, specifically teenagers, and help them feel less alone.
Books were my true friends back then. I was so thankful that the authors wrote those books. The kindness they offered me with their books saved my life. One of my biggest dreams was to become an author so I could write books that would help other teenagers the way those books helped me.
After surviving terrible experiences at school and at home, I made a choice to take the optimistic, positive road in the next steps of my journey. My dream career, one I thought was only possible for the authors I loved, is what I am doing now. I have been a full-time author of teen novels since 2007 and am grateful for this amazing opportunity to reach out to readers every single day.
Kindness saved me when I needed help the most. Even small acts of kindness can change someone’s life. You never know what someone else is going through. But by practicing daily kindness, you become an architect of positive change.
4. What was the author’s life like when he was 12
A. Boring. B. Peaceful. C. Painful. D. Meaningful.
5. How did the volunteer work benefit the author
A. It made him popular in his town. B. It helped him find the meaning of life.
C It helped him understand others’ lives better. D. It helped to shape his dream career.
6. Why did the author choose writing as his job
A. He was inspired by his teacher. B. He could pass positive energy to readers.
C. He wanted to share his school experiences. D. He found he had a talent for writing.
7. What does the author suggest readers do in the last paragraph
A. Say “no” to bullies bravely. B. Make positive changes in their lives.
C. Treat others with kindness in daily life. D. Learn to care more about others’ feelings.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. C

People perform graceful moves, all while standing on a bamboo strip in the river. You may think it’s a scene from an art movie, but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage: bamboo drifting (独竹漂).
Bamboo drifting dated back to over 2,000 years ago in the Chishui River area of Guizhou. During the Qin Dynasty, the Bozhou district of Zunyi city was known for its high-quality nanmu. It was in great demand by the royal court more than 2,000 kilometers to the north. With no transportation along the Chishui River, people had to stand on one log (原木) to drift down the river. Later, local people began to compete along the way and the game of wood drifting was born. In the Qing Dynasty, wood drifting became bamboo drifting because of bamboo's lower price.
Now, communities in Guizhou hold bamboo drifting competitions every year during Dragon Boat Festival. Due to the great strength and balance it takes for one to master this act, bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list.
Yang Liu, 24, is an inheritor of bamboo drifting. Yang said the most difficult part of bamboo drifting was keeping one’s balance. “I fell in the water several times when I was practicing.” she told.
“Usually, the bamboo under your feet is about 9 meters long, and the bamboo in your hands is about 5 meters. If the length or diameter of the bamboo is not long enough, it will not be buoyant (有浮力的）enough to float. So we should fight against the water flow by continuously changing the angle (角度).” Yang added.
But the love for the ancient skill keeps Yang going. In the past 17 years, she has drifted all year round, in winter cold and summer heat.
Yang also produces new ideas when spreading the culture of bamboo drifting. For example, she connects dance with bamboo drifting to make it more graceful and wears hanfu when performing, creating a beautiful feel. In 2020. Yang registered on social media platforms and posted her videos. “I want to spread it to other countries so that more people around the world will like Chinese culture.” she told China Daily.
8. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2
A. The use of bamboo drifting. B. The birthplace of bamboo drifting.
C. The acting skills for bamboo drifting D. The historical development of bamboo drifting.
9. Why was bamboo drifting listed into the national intangible cultural heritage
A. It spreads Chinese culture to the world
B. It enjoys great popularity among Guizhou people.
C. It’s physically and technically demanding for performers.
D. It’s an important activity during the Dragon Boat Festival.
10. What is the most challenging for bamboo drifting
A. Keeping one’s balance. B. Performing graceful moves.
C. Choosing bamboos of proper size. D. Continuously changing the angle
11. Which of the following best describes Yang Liu
A. Responsible and brave. B. Creative and determined.
C. Hard-working and outgoing. D. Knowledgeable and competitive.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B
D
Smoking in your own home in Thailand may now be considered a crime, if the smoke is considered harmful to other people in the house.
The new law, Family Protection and Development Promotion Act, aiming at controlling smoking at home which might be hazardous for others' health living under the same roof，was initiated by the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security and was announced in the Royal Gazette on May 22, 2019. It came into force on August 20.
According to the center for research and knowledge management for tobacco control, at the Faculty of Medical Science of Mahidol University, there are about 4.9 million households where one or more family members smoke. An average of 10.3 million people have unwittingly（不知不觉地） become passive smokers because they’ve been breathing smoke at home. Scientific studies show that passive smokers are at greater risk of being affected by cancer. Of 75 child patients from houses where smoking is practiced, 76% of them were found to have nicotine traces in their urine（尿液）, with 43% of them having nicotine content exceeding（超过） permissible levels.
Smoking at home also “may lead to physical or emotional violence” because of aggressiveness when there is a lack of smoking, and might as well ruin relationships between smokers and non-smoker family members.
According to the new law, anyone who thinks they are affected by domestic smoking can report to government departments concerned so that officials will be sent to investigate and take legal action against the smokers. Once convicted(证明有罪的), the court may order a person to receive treatment to quit smoking in an attempt to protect the person's family.
12. What does the underlined word “hazardous” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. risky B. beneficial
C. influential D. dangerous
13. How does the author organize Paragraph 3
A. by listing figures B. by giving examples
C. by comparing the differences D. by explaining the reasons
14. We can learn from the passage that__________
A. smoking anywhere in Thailand is considered a crime.
B. passive smokers are more likely to have lung cancer .
C. 76% of the children in Thailand have nicotine traces in their urine.
D. smoking at home may hurt other family members both physically and emotionally.
15. According to the new law, ___________
A. anybody must report to the officials once they are affected.
B. officials will take legal action against all the people concerned .
C. smoking in one’s own home in Thailand may now be considered a crime.
D. the court may order a smoker to stop smoking to protect all nonsmokers .

Last week, our class held a discussion about whether we should have breakfast in the classroom.
Some students think that when they are having breakfast in the classroom, they can study or read at the same time, which can save their time and is beneficial to their studies. And they can talk with their classmates while eating.
While others think that it is bad for our health to have breakfast in the classroom. Besides, some kinds of food smell unpleasant.
In my view, it is not good for us to have breakfast in the classroom. We should get up earlier and have breakfast at home.
Yours,
Li Hua

It was a warm summer evening, and the excitement in the air was evident as students gathered in the school hall for the annual welcome party. The event was a chance for everyone to showcase their talents and bond with new classmates. I had been practicing for weeks, preparing a dance routine that I hoped would impress my peers and help me make new friends.
As the evening progressed, I felt a mix of nerves and excitement building up inside me. The performances before mine were impressive, and the audience’s applause (掌声) and cheers filled the hall with energy. Finally, my name was called, and it was my turn to step onto the stage.
Everything was going smoothly until, halfway through my routine, disaster struck. My shoe lace (鞋带) had come undone, and before I knew it, my foot caught on the lace, causing me to trip and fall hard onto the stage.
Time seemed to stop moving as I lay there, and there was silence in the hall. Then, the silence was broken by laughter and the sound of cameras clicking. Some students were even pointing and laughing. My face turned red with embarrassment, and I wished the ground would swallow (吞下) me up right then and there.
Just as I was about to get up, still terrified, my teacher, Mrs. Johnson, appeared on stage. She walked over to me, her expression showing concern and determination. Gently helping me to my feet, she turned to the audience and addressed them with a firm voice.
“Everyone makes mistakes,” she said, her voice ringing through the hall. “It takes a lot of courage to perform in front of the audience, and we should support each other, not make fun of each other. I expect better from all of you. We are a community, and we must lift each other up, especially in moments like these.” The hall suddenly fell silent.

【答案】 With a smile, Mrs. Johnson gave me a gentle push to continue my performance. Gathering all my courage, I retied my shoelaces, took a deep breath, and reset my position. The audience, inspired by Mrs. Johnson’s action, started clapping rhythmically to encourage me. Fueled by their support, I launched into my routine once more, this time with more passion and energy. As I flowed into the moves, my confidence grew, and soon, I was lost in the music, forgetting the earlier misadventure. The applause grew louder as I finished my dance with a flourish, leaving the stage on my final note.
After my performance, I walked off the stage. My peers hurried to greet me with praises and pats on the back. “That was amazing!” said one, while another added, “I could never have done that after a fall!” Their genuine admiration warmed my heart and melted away the embarrassment I felt before. I learned that stumbling wasn’t the end; it was part of the journey. Mrs. Johnson’s intervention and the support highlighted the importance of kindness and encouragement. This experience not only helped me forge new friendships but also taught us all to uplift one another in the face of adversity.
