Beijing Roast Duck
A trip to Beijing would be incomplete without a visit to the Great Wall, just as it would be incomplete without enjoying Beijing Roast Duck, also known as Peking Duck. Often honoured as “the first dish to try in China”, this famous dish, with its long history and former status as a royal fine food, promises foreign tourists a romantic taste and a memorable dining experience.
The Beijing Qianmen branch of Quanjude, one of China’s best-known roast duck chain restaurants, could be a preferred choice for enjoying the roast duck. Located at Qianmen, it has been a rich commercial district (商业区) since the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). After dining at Quanjude, visitors can continue to explore the Qianmen commercial district. Local fine food, particularly at a restaurant called Donglaishun, known for its specialty — instant-boiled mutton (羊肉), a traditional hot pot dish — should not be missed.
Mala Hot Pot
In recent years, Chinese dishes featuring spicy (辛辣的) and mouth-numbing tastes, known as “mala”, have gained popularity, particularly in Southeast Asia. For foreign tourists who enjoy spicy hot pot, it is advisable to find out the most traditional cuisine (菜肴) in southwest China s Sichuan Province and Chongqing Munic pality, both well-known for their spicy offerings, with restaurants serving such dishes spotted throughout these regions.
Guangdong Cuisine
As one of the four major Chinese cuisines, Cantonese cuisine, or Guangdong cuisine, has continued to impress global food enthusiasts with its pleasant freshness, making it a nice choice for foreigners who appreciate a light taste. Foods such as dim sum, boiled shrimp,roast goose, bite-sized wonton (馄饨) and steamed spareribs with pickled plums (酸梅蒸排骨) are sure to call to mind the taste buds of diners. Travellers can get their fill of this cuisine when exploring the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, making it a fitting choice for winter tours.

Whenever I think of Ms. Anita Moore, I always smile and feel fortunate to have her as my teacher. All of her students knew she loved being a teacher. Her classroom was always a safe place where we were encouraged to share, think, and express ourselves.
One of the memories that always stuck with me was a reading class when Ms. Moore read a story aloud and started to cry. The main character in the story reminded her of her grandmother. She paused to share about her relationship with her grandmother and made the connection as to how that relationship helped understand the story.
Ms. Moore tried her best to make a connection with each student in her classroom. She knew what we liked and used that information to bring our interests into the classroom. That is one of the reasons why Ms. Moore will always be my favorite teacher. She brought various types of books to our classroom and allowed us to take them home. It was she that helped my love for reading grow.
Ms. Moore also went beyond classroom instruction. She decided that our school should have a choir and that all of her students should audition (试演). Without her, I would never have taken part in this type of after-school activity. Once it was time for the annual 5th grade weekend camping trip, my parents refused to let me attend. Ms. Moore came to my home to persuade (说服) them. Although I was still not allowed to go, it was amazing to me that a teacher would visit my home to help me be part of a school tradition with my classmates.
Ms. Moore was a wonderful example of a caring teacher. From her, I’ve learned to make connections with students and look for ways to help them learn and feel successful.

Studies have found that having lots of friends helps us feel happier. But sometimes we stop talking to friends we used to be close with.
Scientists did seven studies with about 2,500 people. They wanted to know how people feel about getting back in touch with friends they haven’t talked to in a while. They looked at the problems and reasons for reconnecting and if there were ways to help people send a message to old friend.
To see how willing people were to reconnect, the scientists asked them how ready they were to do different things right away. This included calling or texting a friend they hadn’t talked to in a long time. The results showed that people were not very excited about reaching out to an old friend, just like they don’t want to talk to someone new or pick up trash.
People were worried that their old friends might not want to hear from them. It might be weird to reconnect after so long, and they felt bad. They thought both they and their old friends were too busy to talk again.
People thought there were only a few good reasons to get in touch, like saying happy birthday to a friend. Talking about a memory they shared was the second reason. They didn’t like the idea of asking an old friend for help.
A scientist said that even though people were warned about how an old friend would react to their message, the help they offered to ease this worry didn’t really work well. The scientist added that we know from many years of research that friends make us happy and give our lives meaning. These research findings will encourage people to send a message to someone they miss. It will be the first step to establish contact with friends they have not communicated with for a long period.
8. What is the main focus of the scientists’ research
A. The benefits of maintaining friendships.
B. The process of forming new friendships.
C. The feelings about reconnecting with old friendships.
D. The reasons for losing contact with long-lost friends.
9. What did the scientists find out about people’s willingness to reconnect with old friends
A. Most people wanted to reconnect.
B. People were not sure about contacting old friends.
C. People liked to ask old friends for help.
D. Being busy was the main reason for not making contact.
10. What does the underlined word “weird” mean in paragraph 4
A. Strange. B. Interesting. C. Fashionable. D. Fresh.
11. What was found to help people contact old friends
A. Sending a message to ask for a favor.
B. Focusing on the guilt of not reaching out.
C. Expressing concerns over the message reception.
D. Practicing social connection with current friends first.
D
Do the endless stream of messages and the thought of replying to unopened texts give you anxiety Can the group chat feel so overwhelming that you want to throw your phone out of the window Texting anxiety is a real thing, and more common than you’d think.
In the last 25 years, texting has changed the way we communicate greatly. And many would argue, not for the better. The average person in 2022 checks their phone 262 times a day, up from a daily average of 80 in 2016. Overwhelmed, many end up consciously or unconsciously opting out, stopping responding to loved ones and friends. Unfortunately, not everyone will be understanding.
Leah Aguirre, a psychotherapist explains that text conversations are usually a source of anxiety as they come with a lot of uncertainty. “We can’t predict how someone will respond, if they will respond, or how quickly they will respond. We can’t control other people’s actions or behavior or how they think and interpret (解读) things, and for people that are already prone to anxiety this can be hard to cope with.”
Aguirre says this is reflected in a physical reaction, tightness in the chest, tensions, or increased heart rate. You also may feel a little more on edge or short with others, compulsively check your phone or have obsessive and intrusive thoughts about the text conversation. Simply hearing a notification (通知), if our phone is out of reach, causes the brain chemicals associated with stress to spike.
As well as the personal effects, text anxiety can put a strain on your relationships with friends and loved ones. A 2018 study found that romantic partnerships and friendships are far more successful when you and the other person have a similar texting style. If both parties are quick responders, the relationship is less likely to hit the rocks. Similarly, if all parties are happy to go hours, days, even weeks between responses, then everyone is happy.
Establishing a texting schedule with people you interact with frequently is one way of reducing some of the stress if you have different texting styles. Aguirre suggests limiting the amount of time you are on your phone also helps with the anxiety. “By cancelling or reducing how much contact you have with the source of anxiety, you’ll feel some relief,” she says.
“You can give yourself a pep talk, tell yourself that you are okay and that you have no control over another person’s response or behavior. Remind yourself that this is just a phone or a text message and that, big picture, you are okay and will be okay.”
12. The purpose of Paragraph 2 is to .
A. demonstrate the level of texting anxiety
B. stress the importance of communication
C. analyze the cause of troubled relationships
D. introduce the increasing use of cell phones
13. What does the underlined phrase “on edge” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Frightened. B. Interested. C. Excited. D. Nervous.
14. What can we infer from the passage
A. Putting phones on “silence” mode increases anxiety.
B. We should ask our partners to change their texting styles.
C. Creating a texting plan with others helps reduce text anxiety.
D. Texting anxiety is often caused by the time taken to answer the texts.
15. What would be the best title for the passage
A. A texting schedule: The final way out
B. Texting anxiety: Problems and solutions
C. Text conversations: Strengths and weaknesses
D. A new perspective: How much texting is too much

My knees started shaking, yet my body froze; it felt as though my soul departed from my body and I had no control over it. Anxiously, I looked through the name list posted on the wall of the locker room. My heart was beating harder and harder as I slowly saw all my friends’ names on that list but could not find mine. At that moment, I froze; I just could not accept that all my friends were on the school basketball team, but I was not.
I was so convinced there was a mistake that I went and found the coach. “Mr John, are you sure that the name list you posted is correct ” I asked anxiously, dreading his answer.
“Yes, the names on the list are finalized. Sorry if you did not make it this year. There is always next year,” the coach replied without the slightest bit of pity.
I could feel the hot, bitter tears filling my eyes. All my efforts were in vain. I ran out of the room as fast as I could. As soon as I walked out, I saw my friends crowding into the locker room to look at the team list. I heard them shouting and laughing as I walked away. Every one of them jumped around with exuberance (生气勃勃) after seeing that they made the team. Trying to forget about the situation, I planned to head over to the cafeteria to buy some food, but Dan caught up with me on the way.
“Everybody is coming over to my house to celebrate! Will you be there ” he asked.
“I… I didn’t make the team,” I stammered (结巴).
“Oh, I didn’t know. You can still come after school if you want,” he hesitated.

Studies have found that having lots of friends helps us feel happier. But sometimes we stop talking to friends we used to be close with.
Scientists did seven studies with about 2,500 people. They wanted to know how people feel about getting back in touch with friends they haven’t talked to in a while. They looked at the problems and reasons for reconnecting and if there were ways to help people send a message to old friend.
To see how willing people were to reconnect, the scientists asked them how ready they were to do different things right away. This included calling or texting a friend they hadn’t talked to in a long time. The results showed that people were not very excited about reaching out to an old friend, just like they don’t want to talk to someone new or pick up trash.
People were worried that their old friends might not want to hear from them. It might be weird to reconnect after so long, and they felt bad. They thought both they and their old friends were too busy to talk again.
People thought there were only a few good reasons to get in touch, like saying happy birthday to a friend. Talking about a memory they shared was the second reason. They didn’t like the idea of asking an old friend for help.
A scientist said that even though people were warned about how an old friend would react to their message, the help they offered to ease this worry didn’t really work well. The scientist added that we know from many years of research that friends make us happy and give our lives meaning. These research findings will encourage people to send a message to someone they miss. It will be the first step to establish contact with friends they have not communicated with for a long period.
8. What is the main focus of the scientists’ research
A. The benefits of maintaining friendships.
B. The process of forming new friendships.
C. The feelings about reconnecting with old friendships.
D. The reasons for losing contact with long-lost friends.
9. What did the scientists find out about people’s willingness to reconnect with old friends
A. Most people wanted to reconnect.
B. People were not sure about contacting old friends.
C. People liked to ask old friends for help.
D. Being busy was the main reason for not making contact.
10. What does the underlined word “weird” mean in paragraph 4
A. Strange. B. Interesting. C. Fashionable. D. Fresh.
11. What was found to help people contact old friends
A. Sending a message to ask for a favor.
B. Focusing on the guilt of not reaching out.
C. Expressing concerns over the message reception.
D. Practicing social connection with current friends first.

Do the endless stream of messages and the thought of replying to unopened texts give you anxiety Can the group chat feel so overwhelming that you want to throw your phone out of the window Texting anxiety is a real thing, and more common than you’d think.
In the last 25 years, texting has changed the way we communicate greatly. And many would argue, not for the better. The average person in 2022 checks their phone 262 times a day, up from a daily average of 80 in 2016. Overwhelmed, many end up consciously or unconsciously opting out, stopping responding to loved ones and friends. Unfortunately, not everyone will be understanding.
Leah Aguirre, a psychotherapist explains that text conversations are usually a source of anxiety as they come with a lot of uncertainty. “We can’t predict how someone will respond, if they will respond, or how quickly they will respond. We can’t control other people’s actions or behavior or how they think and interpret (解读) things, and for people that are already prone to anxiety this can be hard to cope with.”
Aguirre says this is reflected in a physical reaction, tightness in the chest, tensions, or increased heart rate. You also may feel a little more on edge or short with others, compulsively check your phone or have obsessive and intrusive thoughts about the text conversation. Simply hearing a notification (通知), if our phone is out of reach, causes the brain chemicals associated with stress to spike.
As well as the personal effects, text anxiety can put a strain on your relationships with friends and loved ones. A 2018 study found that romantic partnerships and friendships are far more successful when you and the other person have a similar texting style. If both parties are quick responders, the relationship is less likely to hit the rocks. Similarly, if all parties are happy to go hours, days, even weeks between responses, then everyone is happy.
Establishing a texting schedule with people you interact with frequently is one way of reducing some of the stress if you have different texting styles. Aguirre suggests limiting the amount of time you are on your phone also helps with the anxiety. “By cancelling or reducing how much contact you have with the source of anxiety, you’ll feel some relief,” she says.
“You can give yourself a pep talk, tell yourself that you are okay and that you have no control over another person’s response or behavior. Remind yourself that this is just a phone or a text message and that, big picture, you are okay and will be okay.”
12. The purpose of Paragraph 2 is to .
A. demonstrate the level of texting anxiety
B. stress the importance of communication
C. analyze the cause of troubled relationships
D. introduce the increasing use of cell phones
13. What does the underlined phrase “on edge” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Frightened. B. Interested. C. Excited. D. Nervous.
14. What can we infer from the passage
A. Putting phones on “silence” mode increases anxiety.
B. We should ask our partners to change their texting styles.
C. Creating a texting plan with others helps reduce text anxiety.
D. Texting anxiety is often caused by the time taken to answer the texts.
15. What would be the best title for the passage
A. A texting schedule: The final way out
B. Texting anxiety: Problems and solutions
C. Text conversations: Strengths and weaknesses
D. A new perspective: How much texting is too much

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。
My knees started shaking, yet my body froze; it felt as though my soul departed from my body and I had no control over it. Anxiously, I looked through the name list posted on the wall of the locker room. My heart was beating harder and harder as I slowly saw all my friends’ names on that list but could not find mine. At that moment, I froze; I just could not accept that all my friends were on the school basketball team, but I was not.
I was so convinced there was a mistake that I went and found the coach. “Mr John, are you sure that the name list you posted is correct ” I asked anxiously, dreading his answer.
“Yes, the names on the list are finalized. Sorry if you did not make it this year. There is always next year,” the coach replied without the slightest bit of pity.
I could feel the hot, bitter tears filling my eyes. All my efforts were in vain. I ran out of the room as fast as I could. As soon as I walked out, I saw my friends crowding into the locker room to look at the team list. I heard them shouting and laughing as I walked away. Every one of them jumped around with exuberance (生气勃勃) after seeing that they made the team. Trying to forget about the situation, I planned to head over to the cafeteria to buy some food, but Dan caught up with me on the way.
“Everybody is coming over to my house to celebrate! Will you be there ” he asked.
“I… I didn’t make the team,” I stammered (结巴).
“Oh, I didn’t know. You can still come after school if you want,” he hesitated.
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。
Paragraph 1:
Dan walked away, leaving me in despair.

Paragraph 2:
After almost a year of practicing, I tried again.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Dan walked away, leaving me in despair. I felt dead inside, like nothing mattered. My mind went blank for the rest of the school day. My heart broke when I saw all my friends gathering after school, joking and laughing around. It was then that it occurred to me that nobody was going to give me a position on that team. I would have to earn it by myself. Having made this mental breakthrough, I decided to work for my goal of making the team. I decided to hit the gym every day.
After almost a year of practicing, I tried again. I felt confident. Regardless of the outcome, I knew that I had worked hard. The next day, I found out that I was on the list. Seeing my name printed in large bold letters on the name list made me feel excited. My dream came true finally. I became a member of the school basketball team. From the experience, I realized that the greater efforts we made, the sweeter reward we would get and that success needed painstaking efforts and patience.
