Helping each other makes the world wonderful
Hello, everyone. I’m Simon. It’s nice to speak about help here. In our life we often help
others and also get help from others. When we help our classmates with their study and other
things, We can develop our friendship. If we give a hand to old people, we can understand the
meaning of happiness. As we know, there are many patients in our life. I think we can get much
pleasure when we help them around us. As the saying goes, “Giving is much better than receiving.”

四．阅读理解（每小题 2 分，共 40 分）

Chopsticks have been used in Asia for over 3,000 years. The earliest chopsticks
were discovered in Henan China about 1200 BCE. Over the next 2,000 years, they
spread throughout East and Southeast Asia.
The three most well-known types are Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Chinese
chopsticks are longer with wide, rounded points at the end, mostly made of plastic or
bamboo. While Japanese chopsticks are shorter and more pointed. Korean ones are
flat rather than round and made of metal rather than wood. It’s said that ancient
Royalty (皇室) used silver chopsticks to see if their food was poisoned (有毒的). In Southeast Asia,
Vietnamese chopsticks are similar to Chinese ones.
Chopsticks are not just eating tools. A proper chopstick grip (握法) can greatly improve dining experience.
First, place the top part of two sticks between your thumb and index finger. Hold the upper chopstick gently
with your first three fingers while resting the lower one at your ring finger. Meanwhile, put your thumb at the
side of your index-finger nail. The upper stick is moved up and down with the movements of the index finger
and middle finger. This way, pieces of food can be easily grasped between the tips of the chopsticks.
___30___ The first rule is to grab and not stab (刺入) food with the tip of your chopsticks. Second, don’t
set chopsticks vertically (垂直的) into the rice in your bowl. In some cultures, such positioning of chopsticks is
considered as a symbol associated with death. Third, watch where you point your chopsticks. It’s rude to point
them directly at others.
Following the guidelines above, you not only show respect for the cultural traditions about chopsticks, but
also enrich your overall dining experience.
51. We can learn about the ________ of chopsticks in Paragraph 2.
① ② ③ ④ ⑤
features discovery materials types sales
A. ①②③ B. ③④⑤ C. ①③④ D. ①②⑤

The Winter Olympics are also called the White Olympics. At this time, many colourful stamps are
published to mark the great Games. The first stamps marking the opening came out on January 25, 1932 in the
United States for the 3rd White Olympics. From then on, publishing stamps during the White Olympics became
a rule.
During the 4th Winter Olympic Games ,a group of stamps were published in Germany in November
1935. The five rings of Olympics were printed on the front of the sportswear. It was the first time that the
symbol (标志) had appeared on the stamps of the White Olympics.
In the 1950s, the stamps of this kind became more colourful. When the White Olympics came, the host
countries as well as the non-host countries published stamps to mark those Games.
China first published four stamps in February 1980, when the Chinese sportsmen began to march into the
area of the White Olympics.
Japan once held the White Olympics. Altogether 14,500 million stamps were sold to raise money for this
sports meeting.
Different kinds of sports are printed on these small stamps. People can enjoy the beauty of the wonderful

Chalk is something you probably see and even use every day. But have you ever thought about the
possibility of turning it into carved (雕刻) artwork using just a compass (圆规)
Shen sihao, 31, started doing this in high school. Growing up in Luoyang, a city in Henan province known
for its cultural relics (遗迹) and historical sites, Shen often used his compass to carve chalk into miniature
versions of cultural relics and ancient buildings he read about in history books or saw around Luoyang. One of
5
his most impressive creations was a replica (仿造品) of a tower in Luoyang that looks like it has five floors
from the outside but actually has nine floors inside. “It’s a shame that I didn’t have much time back then to do
more,” Shen said.
After getting a job at an internet company in Beijing, Shen found himself with more free time and so
decided to realize his childhood dream. Since 2024, he has been sharing videos online to present his chalk
carvings, including tomb figures (俑), arrows, and more. His account (网络账号), Trifle in Break Time, has
gained a large following, especially among students.
For Shen, the process of carving is just as wonderful as the final product. “Only by carving can I fully
understand the structure, details and secrets of cultural relics,” Shen said. For example, while carving an
ancient warrior (战士), he closely studied a photo and realized that it looked a lot like Ultraman. “Maybe the
design of Ultraman was inspired by an ancient Chinese warrior!” he said.
To make his carvings exact and lifelike, Shen visits museums, studies detailed drawings of relics and
practices ancient Chinese calligraphy. Besides, Shen shapes his cultural relic carvings by adding elements (元
素) from video games and movies, attracting his followers with these exciting changes. For example, he carved
the golden cudgel (金 箍 棒 ) when the video game BlackMyth: Wukong became popular and made Shiji
Niangniang, a character from Ne Zha 2, when the movie became a hit. “I often carelessly break my work
when it’s almost done,” Shen said. To Shen, carving chalk not only helps him learn more about history and
culture but has also taught him patience.
It’s the same with life — when you rush or try too hard, it’s easy to break things. Patience and
perseverance (毅力) are the key.
61.What is the meaning of miniature versions in the second paragraph
A. 放大版. B.微缩版 C. 简化版. D. 增强版
62. Which of the following best shows the structure (结构) of the passage (①= Paragraph 1 …)
A. B. C. D.
63. Why did Shen put elements from video games and movies into his chalk carvings
A. To catch people’s attention easily. B. To follow the latest cultural fashion.
C. To praise traditional Chinese stories. D. To test and improve his carving skills.
64. How do you understand the last paragraph
A. Success lies in details. B. To be patient and never give up.
C. Try to be more confident. D. Actions speak louder than words.
65. What is the best title for the passage
A. How chalk carving develops B. The difficulties of chalk carving
C. A young man’s creative journey D. How social media makes artists famous
D
After learning about the life of the master poet who lived about 1,300 years ago in the historical
documentary Li Bai, many young Chinese viewers have preferred talking about pursuing (追求) their dreams
on social media.
In the documentary Du Fu—China’s Greatest Poet, a historian said, “Du’s poems are as important in
Chinese literary history as Shakespeare is to people in Britain.” This remark can also be used for Li’s poems.
Living in the Tang dynasty during the “Golden Age of Chinese Poetry”, Li used his talent to push poetry to a
new height.
“If Du Fu is the greatest poet in China, then Li Bai is the most talented poet in the history of Chinese
poetry,” an expert in ancient Chinese literature emphasized.
6
Much of Li’s life is reflected in his poems; his romance, heroism, and freedom while travelling around
the mountains and rivers of China, and his hard life experiences. He saw the Tang dynasty’s amazing prosperity
(繁荣), and dreamed about being an excellent officer to serve the court (朝廷), but experienced challenge after
challenge until his death.
Li Bai has won great reputation (声誉) among Chinese netizens (网民). The story of the poet’s life has
aroused many young Chinese interest. ___▲___ For example, “What would we do if our dreams couldn’t be
reached, just like Li ” Some netizens wrote that unlike Li, they might change to another dream in order not to
give themselves too much pressure or unhappiness, while other netizens said they would choose to “hold on
straight to the end”.
“In fact, many people who like Li Bai’s poems like the spirit he expressed—the spirit of never giving up
and dreaming about doing something good to help society, just like many young people who have the same
dream in this era,” an expert in ancient Chinese literature said.
66．Which is one of the common themes of Li Bai’s poems
A．Technology. B．Bravery. C．Political power. D．Wealth.
67．Why is Shakespeare talked about in Paragraph 2
A．To explain the meaning of Shakespeare’s poems in Britain.
B．To praise the popularity of Shakespeare’s poems in the world.
C．To describe the influence of Li Bai’s poems on English people.
D．To show the importance of Li Bai’s poems in Chinese literary history.
68．Which of the following sentences can be put into __▲__ in Paragraph 5
A．Young netizens ask questions.
B．Many young people try to realize their dreams.
C．Many young people are interested in Chinese history.
D．Ancient Chinese poets encourage young people to challenge life.
69．What does the underlined phrase “hold on straight to the end” mean
A．Do something good to help society.
B．Stick to their dreams and never give up.
C．Experience challenges one after another.
D．Change to another dream when facing difficulties.
70.According to the last paragraph,what are the reasons why many people like Li Bai's poems ___
a.Because of his ability of writing poems.
b.Because of his wishes for working for society.
c.Because of his doing well in serving the court.
d.Because of his spirit of keeping trying to do something.
A.ab B.ac C.bd D.cd
