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.

When Ma Jun was born, his parents noticed something unusual. His limbs were weak, and he couldn’t move or stand without help. While his peers ran and played, Ma could only sit in a wheelchair, watching in frustration. For years, his parents carried Ma on their backs to school, braving wind and rain.
In 2016, Ma passed his college entrance exams, but he faced a dilemma. With limited resources, his family couldn’t manage both sons’ education. Then Ma made a decision to stay home, sacrificing (牺牲) his own learning opportunity for his brother. This decision, though rooted in love, threw Ma into hopelessness. Longing to attend university and prove himself despite his condition, Ma instead found himself stuck in bed, feeling desperate.
The turning point came when a friend gave him a book, Shi Tiesheng’s best-seller I and the Temple of Earth. Shi, a famous writer who also uses a wheelchair, had transformed his struggles into profound literature. As he read,Ma felt a spark of hope lighting up his world. Shi’s vivid observations and unshaken hope inspired Ma deeply. He was struck by the realization that someone with similar struggles could find meaning and joy in life.

Then, the Junma Awards for Ethnic Literature announced this year’s awards, and Ma became the youngest winner of this year’s Junma Awards for Ethnic Literature in the prose category.
Having fought against the illness for many years, Ma never defines himself as a man to be pitied. “I don’t think my experiences are tragic. Everyone in this world suffers from something. For me, it’s physical; for some others, it’s emotional. We’re all fighting our own battles,” he says. Writing is not just a profession for Ma — it’s a lifeline,a way to connect with the world and leave behind a legacy of courage, sincerity and hope.

Last summer, 17-year-old Li Mei from Chengdu stepped off the plane in Paris, carrying her beloved erhu — a traditional Chinese two-stringed instrument that was passed down from her grandmother. As part of a youth cultural exchange program, she had dreamed of this moment for years, yet the weight of representing her heritage in a foreign land left her palms sweaty. Little did she know that this trip would spark an extraordinary musical creation.
During a workshop at a local art school, Li met Pierre, a French violinist who was fascinated by her instrument’s attractive sound. “It’s like the voice of ancient China,” he remarked with excitement, gently plucking (拨) the erhu’s strings. Inspired by each other’s music, they decided to mix the soulful melodies of the erhu with the dynamic range of the violin for a performance at the upcoming Bastille Day celebration.
As they practiced in a sunlit studio overlooking the Seine, Li taught Pierre how to imitate raindrops with quick bow movements on the erhu, while Pierre showed her how to weave Western harmonies into the Chinese folk tune “Jasmine Flower.” The integration created a charming soundscape that neither had imagined possible. On the performance night, their piece “Silk Road Echoes” received thunderous applause. The audience were amazed at how the erhu’s sad tones danced with the violin’s vigorous (有活力的) melodies.
What began as a summer experiment blossomed into lasting friendship and something far greater. Today, Li and Pierre co-teach virtual music classes, connecting students in Chengdu and Lyon through weekly “global jam sessions.” Their students cooperate on pieces that mix erhu with guitar or Peking opera with jazz. Li often tells her pupils, “Music has no borders; it’s a language that turns differences into harmonies.” When traditions meet with open hearts, they don’t conflict; they compose something entirely new.
8. Why did Li Mei bring her erhu to Paris
A. To share Chinese music culture. B. To give it to her friend as a present.
C. To display it at a local studio. D. To teach students full-time.
9. What contributed to the lasting cooperation of Li Mei and Pierre
A. Their common and deep love for traditional Chinese music.
B. Their successful performance and inspiration from each other’s music.
C. The opportunity to participate in the Bastille Day celebration together.
D. The desire to teach music in a virtual way to students around the world.
10. Why was “Silk Road Echoes” well received by the audience
A. It reflected the beauty of nature wonderfully.
B. It featured traditional Chinese folk performance.
C. It was a musical handshake between civilizations.
D. It was an excellent musical instrument exhibition.
11. Which might be the most suitable title for the text
A. A Musical Journey Across Continents
B. The Journey of Traditional Instruments
C. Cultural Exchange in Paris: A Summer Adventure
D. Silk Road Echoes: Bridging Cultures Through Music

53. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。
On a cold winter day, Li Ming found an injured puppy on his way home from school. The puppy was curled (蜷缩) up beside a snow pile, shaking, with its hind leg seemingly hurt and its tiny body shaking from the cold. Li Ming bent down and gently touched the puppy’s head, noticing the fear and helplessness in its eyes. He felt a burst of sadness and knew he couldn’t leave the little creature there. Immediately, he took off his scarf (围巾), carefully covered the puppy, and held it in his arms.
“Don’t be afraid, I’ll help you,” Li Ming said softly, trying to comfort the shaking puppy. He decided to take the puppy home, even though he knew his parents might not agree to keep a pet. As he walked, he thought about how to convince his parents. “Maybe if I show them how much I care, they’ll understand,” he said to himself.
When he arrived home, Li Ming quietly carried the puppy to his room. He dried its body with a towel (毛巾), making sure to be extra gentle around the injured leg. Then, he found some old clothes and made a plain bed for the puppy in the corner of his room. The puppy seemed to relax a little, its shaking dying. Li Ming also gave it some water and a small piece of bread, which the puppy ate eagerly, wagging its tail (摇尾巴) weakly.
That night, Li Ming lay in bed, staring at the ceiling (天花板), filled with worry. He didn’t know how serious the puppy’s injury was or how his parents would react. He imagined different situations — some where his parents criticized him, others where they allowed him to keep the puppy. But no matter what, he knew he couldn’t give up this poor little life. As he dropped off to sleep, he dreamed of the puppy running happily in a sunny field, its tail wagging joyfully.
Para 1. The next morning, Li Ming woke up to find the puppy missing from its bed.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para 2. A few days later, the puppy’s condition gradually improved.

The next morning, Li Ming woke up to find the puppy missing from its bed. Panicked, he rushed out of his room, only to see his parents standing in the living room, their expressions unreadable. His heart sank as he noticed the puppy curled up on the couch, wrapped in a blanket. His father cleared his throat and said, “We found it this morning. Why didn’t you tell us ” Li Ming hesitated, then explained how he had found the puppy and couldn’t bear to leave it in the cold. To his surprise, his mother sighed and said, “We understand, but you should have told us sooner. We’ll take it to the vet today.” Relief washed over Li Ming as he realized his parents weren’t angry — they were concerned. Thanks to everyone’s care, the puppy began to regain its strength.
A few days later, the puppy’s condition gradually improved. Something unexpected happened that changed everything. The vet had confirmed the puppy’s leg was sprained but would heal with care. Li Ming’s parents, seeing how devoted he was to the little dog, started to warm up to the idea of keeping it. One evening, as the puppy playfully chased a ball in the living room, Li Ming’s father smiled and said, “Maybe having a pet isn’t such a bad idea after all.” From then on, the puppy became a beloved member of the family, bringing joy and laughter to their home. Li Ming couldn’t have been happier — his act of kindness had not only saved a life but also brought his family closer together.
