Herman planted the hot peppers (胡椒) in his five-hectare (五公顷) field in his town. The 36-year-old man put up a sign reading “Africa Hema Village” in Chinese, English and his native language. His first harvest (收成) will start this month.
After his 7-year further study in China, he returned to Rwanda (卢旺达) in 2018 with his wife, Yang Hong, who is from China, and started his own business. Hema Xiansheng CEO Hou Yi visited Rwanda to find quality products to bring to the Chinese market. Hot peppers were one of his discoveries. The couple helped Hou’s team, from research to field trips, testing production processes (加工) and so on.
Hou’s research and development team found out transporting fresh hot peppers to China was difficult because it was hard to keep them fresh during shipping. So the fresh peppers can’t be directly imported (进口) into China. Then Hou’s team decided to perform basic processing (加工) in Rwanda before shipping. Processing requires a careful balance. Too much salt will make the peppers less delicious. Too little, and the peppers may go bad. Because plastics mustn’t be used in Rwanda, they had to find proper ways to carry the pepper sauce (胡椒酱) . The material (材料) they first used couldn’t stand the long flights. Now Hou Yi is happy to see that the pepper sauce has sold well in Hema’s offline and online stores.
Herman pointed out that few local farmers grow hot peppers because the market is so small that about half the harvest is wasted every year. A young man in Rwanda will only make 10 yuan ($1.4) a day by working in the cities, but if they grow hot peppers because of Hema’s orders, they can make 50 to 60 yuan a day. Herman expressed his willingness to introduce more people to make more money by farming, rather than working for lower incomes (收入), when e-commerce (电子商务) can bring greater needs and sales.
“It’s a chance for Rwandan people to join the new field and change their lives,” Herman said, “Through building more Hema Villages, Rwanda has the chance to become a country of digital agriculture.”
37．“Africa Hema Village” in Paragraph 1 is a place ________.
A．called Hema in Africa B．where Herman’s wife was born C．providing hot peppers for Hema D．for Africans to buy hot peppers
38．Why should the peppers be processed before shipping to China Because ________.
A．a balance is needed when the processing is done B．fresh hot peppers mustn’t be imported into China
C．in Rwanda, people are not allowed to use plastics D．during shipping, fresh hot peppers are easy to go bad
39．If a young man in Rwanda grows hot peppers for Hema, he may get about ________.
A．10 dollars a week B．1,600 yuan a month
C．500 dollars a year D．16,000 yuan half a year
40．What can we learn from the passage
A．Many types of products have been offered in Africa Hema Village.
B．Hot peppers from Africa have a large market all around the world.
C．Hema Xiansheng paid for Herman’s seven-year education in China.
D．Herman hopes to do something to improve people’s lives in Rwanda.

Plants are very important. 41 This is because plants can provide food for animals and human beings.
Animals and human beings need plants to live. 42
If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are in the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. 43 An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana.
44 They grow from spores (孢子). Spores are very, very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. 45 When these spores fall on wet places, they usually grow into new plants.
A．This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.
B．But only a few fruits don’t have seeds in them at all.
C．We may say that spores are quite the same as the seeds.
D．Life couldn’t go if there were no plants.

46．(d)epended 47．(a)rmy 48．(N)obody 49．(w)ars 50．(g)lad
【导语】本文主要讲述了花木兰替父从军的故事。
46．句意：她们依靠她们的男人。根据上文“In stories, most women in ancient China were weak.”和首字母提示可知，在故事中，中国古代的大多数妇女都很软弱，可推测此处是她们要依靠她们的男人，depend on表示“依靠”，时态为一般过去时，动词用过去式，depended为动词过去式。故填(d)epended。
47．句意：当每个家庭的一个男人被要求参军时，她决定打扮成一个男人代替她的父亲去打仗。根据下文“...she decided to dress up like a man to fight instead of her father.”和首字母提示可知，花木兰决定替父从军，去打仗，可推测此处是当每个家庭的一个男人被要求参军时，join the army表示“参军”。故填(a)rmy。
48．句意：没人知道她是个女人。根据上文“Hua Mulan was the eldest child in her family...she decided to dress up like a man to fight instead of her father.”和首字母提示可知，花木兰替父从军，可推测此处是没人知道她是个女人，空处需填复合不定代词，作主语，nobody表示“没有人”，位于句首，首字母n需大写。故填(N)obody。
49．句意：木兰在战争中英勇作战，取得了巨大的成功。根据“Mulan fought bravely in...and got great success.”和首字母提示可知，木兰英勇作战，可推测此处是在战争中，且是多次战争，in wars表示“在战争中”，空处需填名词复数，wars“战争”为名词复数形式。故填(w)ars。
50．句意：这让她的家人感到骄傲和高兴。根据“This made her family proud...”和首字母提示可知，这让她的家人骄傲，可推测此时让家人高兴，and连接并列关系，空处需填与形容词proud并列的形容词，glad“高兴的”，形容词。故填(g)lad。
51． jumped farther
【详解】“跳”jump，根据“in the last school sports meeting.”可知，时态是一般过去时，所以谓语动词用过去式；“远”far，副词，修饰动词jump，由than可知，此处用far的比较级farther，故填jumped；farther。
52． It is to train
【详解】固定句式：It is+形容词+to do sth“做某事是……的”，动词不定式作主语，it作形式主语；train“锻炼”，故填It；is；to；train。
53． how to apply for
【详解】对比所给中英文可知，设空处为“如何申请”；疑问词how+动词不定式意为“如何做某事”，作动词tell的宾语；apply for“申请”，固定词组。故填how；to；apply；for。
54． on her own
【详解】对照中英文可知，缺少“自己”，英文表达为on one’s own，是固定短语，作状语；主语是she，形容词性物主代词用her。故填on； her；own。
55． in need
【详解】in need“有需要的”, 是介词短语, 修饰名词people, 作定语。故答案为in; need。
56．例文
Dear Tom,
I know you are always interested in Chinese culture and it’s my honor to give you a little help on telling a traditional story. This story is called Cao Chong weighs an elephant.
One day, Sun Quan sent an elephant to Cao Cao. Cao Cao wondered how heavy the elephant was. Everyone said that they couldn’t weigh the elephant unless they killed it. Soon Cao Cao’s son Cao Chong told people to lead the elephant to a boat and mark the water level on the boat. Then they took away the elephant. Next, they kept putting stones into the boat until the water reached the marked level. Finally, Cao Chong said, “After we weigh the stones, we will know how heavy the elephant is.”
I think this book teaches us the importance of doing things wisely. So I think it’s worth reading.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
