Dear Tom,
Knowing that you have a great passion for learning a traditional Chinese art, I’m overjoyed to recommend that you explore Chinese calligraphy.
As we know, Chinese calligraphy is more than a form of visual art, which integrates beauty and strength with technique perfectly. Exposure to it is an effective approach to cultivating your patience and deepening your insight into Chinese traditional culture. To learn it well, it’s essential to get all the stationery needed ready and then imitate the strokes of noted calligraphers attentively. Furthermore, enrolling in an online course is a sensible option to study it systematically.
Hopefully, you will find joy and make steady progress in this journey of learning Chinese calligraphy. Best regards.
Yours,
Li Hua

Stopping by the dental office, I went to the reception desk. After explaining the situation and showing them Pablo’s mother’s note, I anxiously awaited their response. To my relief, they agreed to help without charging any fees. Overjoyed, I quickly contacted Pablo's mother to inform her of the good news. She was so grateful that she couldn’t stop thanking me through her tears.
Pablo’s mother came to meet the dentist at the appointed time. The dentist examined her tooth and successfully treated it, alleviating her pain. As a token of appreciation, she prepared some delicious homemade cookies for me. When I shared the good news with Pablo, he was over the moon and hugged me tightly, expressing his gratitude in his broken English. Seeing their happiness, I felt a sense of fulfillment and pride in being able to make a difference in their lives.2024—2025 学年第一学期期末教学质量检测

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Esmeralda
This Portuguese ship sank off the coast of Oman in 1503. First discovered in 1998 and then extensively excavated(发掘) by a team led by David Mearns between 2013 and 2015, it is the oldest shipwreck(沉船) recovered from Europe’s Age of Exploration.
Black Sea Shipwreck
Discovered in 2018 by a team from the Black Sea Maritime Archaeology Project, the ship sank more than 2,400 years ago. It is the oldest undamaged shipwreck ever found. “A ship in such good condition from the classical world, is something I would never have believed possible,” said Professor Jon Adams, the principal investigator of the team that found the wreck.
Gribshunden
The flagship of John, King of Denmark, caught fire and sank in the Baltic Sea in 1495. There, it lay undiscovered until members of a local div e club came across it in the 1970s; unaware of its significance, they did not report it to archaeologists until 2000, and not until 2013 was the wreck’s identity confirmed. Considered one of the best-preserved shipwrecks of the period, it has slowly been revealing its secrets.
Black Swan
In May 2007, a Florida-based company announced that, using underwater robots, it had discovered a shipwreck in the Atlantic, code-named (代号为) “Black Swan”. However, the government of Spain claimed that the wreck was the Nuestra Senora de las Mercedes, a Spanish ship that sank off the coast of Portugal in 1804 following a battle with four British navy ships. After a long legal battle, the treasure was returned to Spain in 2012.
1．Which shipwreck is the latest discovery
A．Esmeralda. B．Black Sea Shipwreck.
C．Gribshunden. D．Black Swan.
2．What do Black Sea Shipwreck and Gribshunden have in common
A．They were discovered in the same area.
B．They were first noticed by local people.
C．They were in good shape when discovered.
D．They were in the possession of a royal family.
3．How did Spain get Black Swan returned
A．By going to the court.
B．By contacting the Portugal government.
C．By joining a battle against British navy.
D．By offering another treasure as an exchange.
B
I used to want to be a zookeeper, but after becoming a wildlife rescue worker, I found that this work is even more valuable than I thought. Not only can I help injured wild animals, but I can also facilitate their return to the wild. We make every effort to accomplish this goal: hiding food under rocks and fallen leaves to simulate (模拟) a natural environment, or doing our best to maintain some distance from the animals and prevent them from bonding with humans.
I am often asked whether I feel at all sad when it’s time to release the animals — to tell you the truth, I’m always pretty willing to let them go. All of my efforts have been toward allowing them to return to the wild, and the wild is where they belong, so there’s no reason for reluctance on my part. But it is true that sometimes there is no way for an animal to go back to the wild, or to keep it from bonding with humans.
Last year, I rescued a light-vented bulbul (白头鹎). The bird, initially lacking feathers, recovered under our care. It was scheduled for release during its adolescent period, during which it’s relatively easy to socialize. But an injury to its flight feathers delayed its return to the wild. The bird imprinted on humans during the following two months, which was a critical cognitive (认知的) development period, leading it to return to us after being released.
When we engage in wildlife rescue, we have to teach animals how to maintain a high degree of caution around humans. If they become too trusting of humans, it is very likely that way, our success depends not on the animals, or on our work here, but more so on the attitude humans would not be a bad thing, and our release attempt could then be successful.
4．What do we know about the author’s job
A．It was his initial career choice.
B．It forbids close interaction with animals.
C．It mainly aims to cure the injured animals.
D．It involves both rescue and release efforts.
5．Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling to release the rescued animals
A．Ambitious. B．Cheerful. C．Sorrowful. D．Anxious.
6．Which is closest in meaning to “imprinted on” in paragraph 3
A．Was attached to. B．Was aware of.
C．Was sensitive to. D．Was cautious of.
7．What is the key to the success of wildlife rescue work
A．Animals’ faith in humans.
B．Human’s knowledge in the work.
C．Human’s attitude towards animals.
D．Animals’ ability to survive in the wild.
C
Tourists come in flocks from all parts of China to Rongjiang, a small county in a remote mountainous area, which has recently become popular for its "Village Super League", creating a spectacular sports carnival in China.
During a match in May, Wu Chuguo, a decoration worker from Liubaitang village, Rongjiang County, scored a spectacular 40-meter goal that ignited（点燃）the crowd. Wu said he was influenced by elders in his village and fell in love with the sport. In the county, rural soccer matches have taken place regularly since the 1990s. When there was a lack of facilities, soccer players used barren land as a field and wooden stakes for the posts. The boundaries were marked out with lime powder. When they couldn't gather enough players, they played futsal, a soccer-based game played on a smaller hard court.
In recent years, the county has focused on gymnastics, soccer, rock climbing and other sports. What sets the Village Super League apart from other sports events are the vivid displays of ethnic cultures and traditions at the tournament. As players of both teams walk on the field for a game, they are accompanied by their cheering squads（啦啦 队）dressed in traditional ethnic costumes and carrying local specialties. The halftime break features folk songs and dance performances, while ethnic costumes are also on display.
"I hope that more and more tourists will come to Rongjiang to watch the matches, enjoy the folk customs and local cuisine, and have fun, " said Xiong Zhuqing, a melon grower who is also a cheerleader. She says she has sold over 10,000 kilograms of watermelons since the start of the tournament. As of June 27, a total of 654 new businesses were established, including 91 in the catering sector, 188 in retail, and 195 in agriculture and food processing, the local government said.
8．What can we know about the rural soccer match
A．It has been held since 1990. B．It lacks facilities for players.
C．It was invented by Wu Chuguo. D．It has taken place since the 1990s.
9．Why is the Village Super League different from other sports events
A．Because it has cheering squads.
B．Because it focuses on various sports.
C．Because it develops a top-level talent.
D．Because it reflects ethnic cultures and traditions.
10．What can we infer from paragraph 4
A．Xiong Zhuqing has helped farmers to sell watermelons.
B．The Village Super League stimulates the local economic growth.
C．The local government invested a lot of money in new businesses.
D．The Village Super League attracts a lot of merchants from other places.
11．Who are most likely to be interested in this article

A “spark bird” is the species that inspires someone to start birdwatching, namely birding. For Trish Kane, that bird was the cardinal (红衣凤头鸟). Hearing cardinals’ calls was an initial step toward over 1,960 hours of birding, 33 field notebooks and a career change. In her book, Birding to Change the World, Kane charts her transformation from a journalist to an environmentalist.
In 2005, a terrible hurricane hit Kane’s hometown. After it, she had to cope with the loss of her home. In watching the cardinals and other birds, she found relief. Soon she started bringing her students along. “My students stared at me in disbelief when I told them I had never cared about birds before,” Kane writes. “I suddenly wondered how many creatures would die because of the way we lived.” She decided to pursue an environmentally-conscious career. In 2007, she took a course to study environmental science.
Most of the book focuses on Kane’s efforts to preserve Warner Park, an ideal location satisfying birding requirements for her class. She successfully campaigned to stop the construction of a parking lot. Her activism snowballed into a local bird watching and protecting organization. It eventually became part of Kane’s doctoral research, and launched a birding class that pairs middle school students with college-student advisors.
The book shows readers that a good knowledge of nature doesn’t require a degree. Take Jeremy, a seemingly uninterested boy in Kane’s birding class. When reporters joined an outing, the normally quiet Jeremy started talking excitedly about the bunting, a small blue bird. Kane soon learned that he had secretly taken to studying the field guide given to him by his advisor.
At its core, Birding to Change the World is about how people and birds today depend on one another. “For birds, that dependence is concrete. For thousands of years, our species has seen birds as a symbol of liberation,” Kane writes. In her case, it is liberation from the grief and depression that the hurricane brought. “Bird by bird, they carve a new pathway in my life, a joyful pathway.”
12．What made Kane pursue an environmentalist career
A．Her guilt about the serious harm to birds. B．The desire to guide students to go birding.
C．The comfort from birding after the disaster. D．Her students’ disbelief in her ignorance of birds.
13．What can we learn about Kane from paragraph 3
A．She worked hard on her latest book. B．She protected Warner Park on her own.
C．Her birding class consisted of advisors. D．Her activism led to positive chain effects.
14．What does Jeremy’s experience suggest
A．Interest in nature differs between kids and adults.
B．Children learn more from nature than from books.
C．Children are born curious about outdoor activities.
D．Potential in kids can be released with proper guide.
15．Which is the best title for the text
A．A Joyful Experience of Birding B．The Transformative Power of Birding
C．A Life Journey of an Environmentalist D．The Self-appreciation of a Book Writer

Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking. 16 Do you want to be a good public speaker Here are some principles you must master.
People want to listen to someone who is interesting, relaxed and comfortable. Too often when you stand up to give a speech, you focus on the “public”at the expense of the “speaking. ” 17 Focus on the speaking. Talk directly to your audience, be yourself and make a connection.
Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes. Yet, the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking. People’s attention wanders constantly. In fact,most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker’s message. So, don’t stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it’s a truly serious one. 18
Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker. 19 And like everything else in life, that takes practice. Remember, even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.
20 It’s rare to hear someone say, “I wish that speaker had spoken longer. “On the other hand, you probably can’t count the times that you’ve thought, “I’m glad that talk is over. It seemed to go on forever! “So surprise your audience. Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated. It’s better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end.
A．Do the opposite.
B．You want to be an effective public speaker.
C．You don’ t need to apologize for a minor slip.
D．When it comes to public speaking, less is usually more.
E．The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience
F．Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners
G．However, the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be.

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。
I taught English as a Second Language (ESL) at a school. One particular sixth grader, Pablo, was struggling with fluency in reading, so after class I suggested that he get extra practice by reading aloud to his mom while she prepared dinner each evening. This was something I routinely encouraged my struggling students to do. Imagine my surprise when Pablo responded by starting to cry. He said, “My mom can’t cook dinner!” Then he cried harder. Eventually, he calmed down enough to tell me that his mom was only able to “cry in her bed” when he got home every afternoon. He said that he was caring for his six-month-old baby brother by himself from the time he got home each day. His mother, it seemed, had a bad tooth and was in extreme pain. He said that his father didn’t have enough money to get it fixed, and that there was no way for her to go to a dentist. This child’s heart was broken for his mom.
I was speechless! He was still crying when he left me that day, and I promised him I would try to help. I kept asking myself how I could help this student. How could I help his mother when we didn’t even speak the same language
The next day, I sent a note, which a friend helped me translate, to Pablo’s mother asking if she would like me to find someone to help her. The following day, Pablo brought me a note from his mom accepting my offer to help.
Meanwhile, I had been doing some networking among my friends asking if anyone knew a dentist who might do some free work for this lady. At the time, I was not able to pay for the work to be done myself. Several friends suggested a dental office that had recently opened up in the area, thinking that they might be willing to provide the services. I didn’t want to waste a lot of time going to several dentists, so I prayed that this would be the one.

1. 续写词数应为150左右；
