Zhu Zhiwen, in his 30s,has been on the road, on his most recent bicycle trip since March.
Zhu started this adventure, an “Olympic trip”, from Beijing and had spent several months going across the country’s vast land, including Shijiazhuang of Hebei province and Urumqi of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.
“My destination is Paris, France, before the Summer Olympics on July 26, 2024,” says Zhu, who was originally from a small village in East China’s Jiangxi province. “It’s my way of celebrating the Games.”
Over the past 11 years, Zhu has traveled through 45 countries and regions across four continents, covering a distance of over 90,000 kilometers. From Asia to Africa, from South America to North America, he has encountered many wonderful people and experiences, and witnessed various unique customs.
People’s good will has been a highlight of his trips. “I met a small hotel owner when I was cycling in Ecuador, South America, in 2016. After I knew the owner had been to China multiple times and was a fan of the Chinese culture and food, I took the initiative to cook him a Chinese dinner. He was very happy and, in return, offered me a night of accommodation for free,” Zhu says.
Yet, it hasn’t all been smooth riding. Zhu came across severe weather on his way to the Arctic in 2020.Moreover, he suffered robberies during his stay in South Africa and escaped attacks from bears and other wild animals in Canada.
After the Olympic tour, Zhu says he will continue to explore the world on his bicycle and fulfill his childhood dream of touring the whole world with his feet. Being an experienced traveler, Zhu has often been asked about his understanding of travel. “I think it is to accept what is possible during travel and get pleasure from it, no matter if it is good or bad,” Zhu says.

Many of us have heard of or seen My Fair Lady (1964), a classic movie starring British actress Audrey Hepburn. The film is an adaptation of Pygmalion, a comic play by the Irishman George Bernard Shaw(1856-1950).
However, the musical version of My Fair Lady is even older, and has been entertaining audiences since 1956. In fact, a new Broadway version of the musical was nominated for 10 Tony awards. The story of Eliza Doolittle, a working-class flower seller from London, and the snobbish (势利的) Professor Higgins, who teaches her “proper English”, has never showed any signs of dying out since it was introduced.
But why do people still line up around the block for tickets when a new production of the play is announced The answer is simple: The musical has a wonderful story. Everyone can identify with Doolittle’s desire to live a more satisfying life; all she wants is to get rid of her accent so she can get a job in a store and not on the streets. However, it seems that people like Higgin s are always looking down on Doolittle for not being from a fancy family.
Besides Doolittle’s background, the story and the songs in the music al are also what make it so popular. Audience members are moved when Eliza and her fellow flower sellers imagine what it’d be like to live as a rich person does. This is perfectly summed up in the lyric (歌词),“Wouldn’t it be lovely ”
The musical also makes people think. It doesn’t make sense that one kind of accent can be considered good and another bad. Eliza and her father speak “badly” because they were born poor, while Higgins speaks “proper English” because he was born a “gentleman”. That reflects the unfairness of class divisions — a kind of unfairness that still sadly exists today.
8. The underlined word “nominated” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by _________.
A. Appointed. B. Selected. C. Suggested. D. Directed.
9. Why do people like Broadway’s musical My Fair Lady
A. People can relate to Doolittle’s experiences. B. It’s considered the best adaptation of Pygmalion.
C. It has won 10 Tony awards since its appearance. D. People have a good chance to learn proper English.
10. What message does My Fair Lady convey
A. People from poor families can hardly be successful.
B. Women’s status has been greatly improved in the UK.
C. Social class division is deeply rooted in British society.
D. One’s language ability and manner are the key to success.
11. What can we know about the story of the musical
A. Higgins was described as a kindhearted man.
B. Eliza was born poor but fought for a better life.
C. Higgins and Eliza became friends after they first met.
D. Eliza finally changed Higgins` prejudice against the poor.
D
Sharks and their relatives are some of the most threatened vertebrates (脊椎动物) on Earth. Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) provide homes for countless fish species that are vital for fisheries and are therefore an especially important ecosystem for humans — and one where the decline of shark populations seems to be especially acute (剧烈的).
The study by Simpfendorfer with his team is the result of a worldwide cooperation called the Global FinPrint project. The data analyzed include more than 20,000 hours of standardized underwater video taken at nearly 400reefs in 67 countries around the world. It reveals declines of 60% to 73% of once-abundant (充足的) coral reef shark species at reefs around the world.
However, the findings of Simpfendorfer with his team include signs of hope and a clear path forward. Their results show that although shark populations in many reefs had declined, some healthy reef shark populations remained. The reefs with healthier shark populations had some important similarities: they tended to be in the waters of high-income countries with stronger natural resource management regulations (规定) . A country that lacks the resources to feed its people is less able to sustainably manage and protect its biodiversity.
The most unexpected result of the study is that a decline or complete loss of shark species in one reef was not always associated with similar changes in nearby reefs. They found that one reef can be over fished so badly that a once-common reef shark species is totally gone, but another reef a short distance away can have healthy populations of that same species. It is likely that healthy population s can eventually help repopulate nearby areas.
The problem is clear — animals that provide ecosystem services that are vital for human food security and livelihoods are disappearing at an alarming rate. The loss of sharks and the ecosystem services they provide represents an ecological disaster that can cause substantial harm to humans. But apparently, the findings have shown a way. If the threat that led to population decline are resolved, then these important and threatened animals may recover.
12. Why is Simpfendorfer with his team mentioned in Paragraph 2
A. To stress the result of global cooperation. B. To state the urgency of protecting the ocean.
C. To show the severe condition of certain sharks. D. To present the figures of their contributions to sharks.
13. Why could healthy reef shark population s remain in some areas
A. Citizens there had a stronger environmental awareness.
B. Science and economics were improving fast in such areas.
C. The waters in these areas were suitable for sharks to live in.
D. These areas took stricter measures to protect natural resources.
14. What can be inferred from the text
A. Changes in reefs lead to loss of shark species.
B. Humans and animals co-exist in ecosystem.
C. It’s not clear whether humans cause damage to biodiversity.
D. The declined shark species have nothing to do with overfishing.
15. What’s the text mainly about
A. Acute Decline of reef sharks. B. Potential recovery of reef sharks.
C Global cooperation of saving sharks. D. Amazing discovery of Coral reefs.

Holidays are not necessarily for fun or rest. Doing something meaningful can also gain special pleasure. When the final bell rang, the students were reminded that there was no school on Monday—the Labor Day. “Enjoy your extra day off” said the teacher to her class.
An extra day off unsuited Kayla just fine. She loved breaks. She wanted to go out to play with her friends. When the school bus dropped Kayla off, she ran into the house happily.
“How was school, Kayla ” asked her mom.
“It was great, Mom. I am excited about no school on Monday.”
“You just started back to school two weeks ago. Already in need of a break, huh ” asked Kayla’s mom with a laugh.
Kayla slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favorite day of the week. I trained most of the day, so Kayla enjoyed playing videogames inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours.
Then it was Labor Day, you know, the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to. But Kayla was awakened early that morning by her dad. He told Kayla that in honor of Labor Day, the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house. Kayla couldn’t believe it. This was a holiday. A day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house. As Kayla wiped here yes, she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream.
“Kayla, your breakfast is ready. We have a lot of work to do today. Let’s get a move on,” said Kayla’s mom. As she sat down at the kitchen table, Kayla asked her parents，
“Are you serious about working today Isn’t Labor Day a holiday ”
“Yes, Kayla. It is,” replied her dad. “But your mom and I thought working hard today would make you appreciate why Labor Day was observed in the first place.”
注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At first Kayla felt disappointed at her parents’ plan for the holiday

46. Dear Peter,
I’m glad to hear from you and that you are interested in Chinese culture. Now that you ask for my advice on the selective course, I’ll recommend you to choose the course about Chinese ancient poetry. The reasons are as follows.
First, poetry weaves rich words and profound meaning into one. It is not merely a form of literature, it is also a gateway to understanding the soul of China. Moreover, poetry offers a unique perspective on Chinese society and culture. Through poetry, we gain insights into the beauty of Chinese art, music, and literature. Lastly, Chinese poetry is not just words on a page but also it is a living, breathing heritage. It is an essential part of understanding China’s rich cultural heritage and its influence on the world. I believe it will arouse your interest in Chinese Culture.
I hope you find my ideas useful and best wishes to your selective course.
Yours,
Li Hua
47. Paragraph 1:
At first, Kayla felt disappointed at her parents' plan for the holiday. How eagerly she wanted to go to out to play with her friends! She was against the annoying plan from the bottom of her heart, but she had no choice. First, Kayla was arranged to wash the breakfast dishes. After that, she was asked to give their puppy a bath. She knew it was a hard task, which needed a lot of tiring, careful and patient work. She has begun the work with great unwillingness.
Paragraph 2:
But things began to change as she was doing the chores. Brushing the puppy, she found it was a lot of fun with so many soap bubbles. Then it was on to yard work where Kayla helped to pick up sticks. She pretended the small sticks were basketballs, and shot them into a large trash can. So the work was done with great pleasure. Kayla felt proud to see how much better the yard looked. When she finished her meaningful chores, Kayla enjoyed relaxing in her tree house. The lemonade tasted wonderful after a hard day of work.

Zhu Zhiwen, in his 30s,has been on the road, on his most recent bicycle trip since March.
Zhu started this adventure, an “Olympic trip”, from Beijing and had spent several months going across the country’s vast land, including Shijiazhuang of Hebei province and Urumqi of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.
“My destination is Paris, France, before the Summer Olympics on July 26, 2024,” says Zhu, who was originally from a small village in East China’s Jiangxi province. “It’s my way of celebrating the Games.”
Over the past 11 years, Zhu has traveled through 45 countries and regions across four continents, covering a distance of over 90,000 kilometers. From Asia to Africa, from South America to North America, he has encountered many wonderful people and experiences, and witnessed various unique customs.

After I knew the owner had been to China multiple times and was a fan of the Chinese culture and food, I took the initiative to cook him a Chinese dinner. He was very happy and, in return, offered me a night of accommodation for free,” Zhu says.
Yet, it hasn’t all been smooth riding. Zhu came across severe weather on his way to the Arctic in 2020.Moreover, he suffered robberies during his stay in South Africa and escaped attacks from bears and other wild animals in Canada.
After the Olympic tour, Zhu says he will continue to explore the world on his bicycle and fulfill his childhood dream of touring the whole world with his feet. Being an experienced traveler, Zhu has often been asked about his understanding of travel. “I think it is to accept what is possible during travel and get pleasure from it, no matter if it is good or bad,” Zhu says.

Many of us have heard of or seen My Fair Lady (1964), a classic movie starring British actress Audrey Hepburn. The film is an adaptation of Pygmalion, a comic play by the Irishman George Bernard Shaw(1856-1950).
However, the musical version of My Fair Lady is even older, and has been entertaining audiences since 1956. In fact, a new Broadway version of the musical was nominated for 10 Tony awards. The story of Eliza Doolittle, a working-class flower seller from London, and the snobbish (势利的) Professor Higgins, who teaches her “proper English”, has never showed any signs of dying out since it was introduced.
But why do people still line up around the block for tickets when a new production of the play is announced The answer is simple: The musical has a wonderful story. Everyone can identify with Doolittle’s desire to live a more satisfying life; all she wants is to get rid of her accent so she can get a job in a store and not on the streets. However, it seems that people like Higgin s are always looking down on Doolittle for not being from a fancy family.
Besides Doolittle’s background, the story and the songs in the music al are also what make it so popular. Audience members are moved when Eliza and her fellow flower sellers imagine what it’d be like to live as a rich person does. This is perfectly summed up in the lyric (歌词),“Wouldn’t it be lovely ”
The musical also makes people think. It doesn’t make sense that one kind of accent can be considered good and another bad. Eliza and her father speak “badly” because they were born poor, while Higgins speaks “proper English” because he was born a “gentleman”. That reflects the unfairness of class divisions — a kind of unfairness that still sadly exists today.
8. The underlined word “nominated” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by _________.
A. Appointed. B. Selected. C. Suggested. D. Directed.
9. Why do people like Broadway’s musical My Fair Lady
A. People can relate to Doolittle’s experiences. B. It’s considered the best adaptation of Pygmalion.
C. It has won 10 Tony awards since its appearance. D. People have a good chance to learn proper English.
10. What message does My Fair Lady convey
A. People from poor families can hardly be successful.
B. Women’s status has been greatly improved in the UK.
C. Social class division is deeply rooted in British society.
D. One’s language ability and manner are the key to success.
11. What can we know about the story of the musical
A. Higgins was described as a kindhearted man.
B. Eliza was born poor but fought for a better life.
C. Higgins and Eliza became friends after they first met.
D. Eliza finally changed Higgins` prejudice against the poor.
D
Sharks and their relatives are some of the most threatened vertebrates (脊椎动物) on Earth. Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) provide homes for countless fish species that are vital for fisheries and are therefore an especially important ecosystem for humans — and one where the decline of shark populations seems to be especially acute (剧烈的).
The study by Simpfendorfer with his team is the result of a worldwide cooperation called the Global FinPrint project. The data analyzed include more than 20,000 hours of standardized underwater video taken at nearly 400reefs in 67 countries around the world. It reveals declines of 60% to 73% of once-abundant (充足的) coral reef shark species at reefs around the world.
However, the findings of Simpfendorfer with his team include signs of hope and a clear path forward. Their results show that although shark populations in many reefs had declined, some healthy reef shark populations remained. The reefs with healthier shark populations had some important similarities: they tended to be in the waters of high-income countries with stronger natural resource management regulations (规定) . A country that lacks the resources to feed its people is less able to sustainably manage and protect its biodiversity.
The most unexpected result of the study is that a decline or complete loss of shark species in one reef was not always associated with similar changes in nearby reefs. They found that one reef can be over fished so badly that a once-common reef shark species is totally gone, but another reef a short distance away can have healthy populations of that same species. It is likely that healthy population s can eventually help repopulate nearby areas.
The problem is clear — animals that provide ecosystem services that are vital for human food security and livelihoods are disappearing at an alarming rate. The loss of sharks and the ecosystem services they provide represents an ecological disaster that can cause substantial harm to humans. But apparently, the findings have shown a way. If the threat that led to population decline are resolved, then these important and threatened animals may recover.
12. Why is Simpfendorfer with his team mentioned in Paragraph 2
A. To stress the result of global cooperation. B. To state the urgency of protecting the ocean.
C. To show the severe condition of certain sharks. D. To present the figures of their contributions to sharks.
13. Why could healthy reef shark population s remain in some areas
A. Citizens there had a stronger environmental awareness.
B. Science and economics were improving fast in such areas.
C. The waters in these areas were suitable for sharks to live in.
D. These areas took stricter measures to protect natural resources.
14. What can be inferred from the text
A. Changes in reefs lead to loss of shark species.
B. Humans and animals co-exist in ecosystem.
C. It’s not clear whether humans cause damage to biodiversity.
D. The declined shark species have nothing to do with overfishing.
15. What’s the text mainly about
A. Acute Decline of reef sharks. B. Potential recovery of reef sharks.
C Global cooperation of saving sharks. D. Amazing discovery of Coral reefs.

Holidays are not necessarily for fun or rest. Doing something meaningful can also gain special pleasure. When the final bell rang, the students were reminded that there was no school on Monday—the Labor Day. “Enjoy your extra day off” said the teacher to her class.
An extra day off unsuited Kayla just fine. She loved breaks. She wanted to go out to play with her friends. When the school bus dropped Kayla off, she ran into the house happily.
“How was school, Kayla ” asked her mom.
“It was great, Mom. I am excited about no school on Monday.”
“You just started back to school two weeks ago. Already in need of a break, huh ” asked Kayla’s mom with a laugh.
Kayla slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favorite day of the week. I trained most of the day, so Kayla enjoyed playing videogames inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours.
Then it was Labor Day, you know, the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to. But Kayla was awakened early that morning by her dad. He told Kayla that in honor of Labor Day, the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house. Kayla couldn’t believe it. This was a holiday. A day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house. As Kayla wiped here yes, she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream.
“Kayla, your breakfast is ready. We have a lot of work to do today. Let’s get a move on,” said Kayla’s mom. As she sat down at the kitchen table, Kayla asked her parents，
“Are you serious about working today Isn’t Labor Day a holiday ”
“Yes, Kayla. It is,” replied her dad. “But your mom and I thought working hard today would make you appreciate why Labor Day was observed in the first place.”

46. Dear Peter,
I’m glad to hear from you and that you are interested in Chinese culture. Now that you ask for my advice on the selective course, I’ll recommend you to choose the course about Chinese ancient poetry. The reasons are as follows.
First, poetry weaves rich words and profound meaning into one. It is not merely a form of literature, it is also a gateway to understanding the soul of China. Moreover, poetry offers a unique perspective on Chinese society and culture. Through poetry, we gain insights into the beauty of Chinese art, music, and literature. Lastly, Chinese poetry is not just words on a page but also it is a living, breathing heritage. It is an essential part of understanding China’s rich cultural heritage and its influence on the world. I believe it will arouse your interest in Chinese Culture.
I hope you find my ideas useful and best wishes to your selective course.
Yours,
Li Hua
47. Paragraph 1:
At first, Kayla felt disappointed at her parents' plan for the holiday. How eagerly she wanted to go to out to play with her friends! She was against the annoying plan from the bottom of her heart, but she had no choice. First, Kayla was arranged to wash the breakfast dishes. After that, she was asked to give their puppy a bath. She knew it was a hard task, which needed a lot of tiring, careful and patient work. She has begun the work with great unwillingness.
Paragraph 2:
But things began to change as she was doing the chores. Brushing the puppy, she found it was a lot of fun with so many soap bubbles. Then it was on to yard work where Kayla helped to pick up sticks. She pretended the small sticks were basketballs, and shot them into a large trash can. So the work was done with great pleasure. Kayla felt proud to see how much better the yard looked. When she finished her meaningful chores, Kayla enjoyed relaxing in her tree house. The lemonade tasted wonderful after a hard day of work.
