66．例文
Amazing Numbers in My Eyes
Interesting numbers are all around us. From lucky numbers to important dates, numbers play a significant role in our lives. Here are a few examples of interesting numbers that I find fascinating.
Firstly, the number 7 is often considered a lucky number in many cultures. It is believed to bring good fortune and is often associated with spirituality. Another interesting number is 13, which is often considered unlucky. This superstition is so strong that many buildings don’t have a 13th floor, and some people avoid doing anything important on the 13th day of the month. However, in some cultures, such as Italy, 13 is considered a lucky number.
Numbers are very important in our daily lives. We use numbers to count, measure, calculate, and understand the world around us. From simple tasks like checking the time to more complex activities like budgeting and financial planning, numbers play a crucial role in our decision-making processes.

The US celebrates Valentine’s Day each year on February 14. Pictures of hearts, red roses and boxes of chocolates are everywhere. You could say that “love is in the air”.
Many other countries and areas celebrate Valentine’s Day, too, each in their own way. Here is a look at some Valentine’s Day traditions.
For South Koreans, Valentine’s Day happens in three parts: February 14, March 14 and April 14. On February 14, women give men gifts of chocolate to show their love. One month later, on White Day, men show their thanks by giving women a sweet gift. And on April 14, Black Day, single people who didn’t get gifts on February 14 or March 14 often get together to eat special noodles.
Unlike many European countries, the Welsh holiday is called St. Dwynwen’s Day and takes place on January 25. The traditional gift is a love spoon (勺子). Beginning in the 17th century, Welsh men made beautiful spoons to show their love to that special person in their lives. Today in Wales, love spoons are also given at weddings (婚礼), births and other celebrations.
Argentina gives a whole week to love in July. They call it Sweetness Week. If you kiss someone, they have to give you some candies. Sweetness Week started in 1989. A candy company (公司) made an ad called “Candy for a Kiss”. The idea was to give the company’s chocolates and other candies in exchange for a sweet kiss on the cheek. It was so successful that it turned into a new holiday!
21．What does the underlined phrase “Valentine’s Day” mean in Chinese
A．感恩节 B．情人节 C．表白日 D．礼品日
22．When is White Day
A．On January 14. B．On February 14. C．On March 14. D．On April 14.
23．What is the traditional gift on St. Dwynwen’s Day
A．Red roses. B．Boxes of chocolates. C．Sweet candies. D．Love spoons.
24．Which of the following is TRUE
A．Only the US celebrates Valentine’s Day each year.
B．In Wales, love spoons were sometimes given at weddings only in the 17th century.
C．In Argentina, if you want to kiss others on Valentine’s Day, you must give them candies first.
D．Different countries and areas celebrate Valentine’s Day in different ways.
B
China is a big country. Are the north and the south very different Three students from different cities are giving their opinions on this topic.
Student1: I think the biggest difference is the language. Each place in China has its own dialect (方言). For example, people in my hometown, Xiamen, speak Minnan dialect. But it’s hard for people from the north to understand it while talking with each other! Luckily, China has done a good job in teaching people Putonghua, which makes it easy for people in different places to communicate well with each other.
Student 2: I think the food in the north is different from that in the south. I grew up in Linyi, a northern city. Linyi is famous for Linyi Fried Chicken and a special soup—sá. Last year, I visited Hunan. I was surprised by the rice there. It was not as sweet as that in the north. This is because of the difference in rain and heat. And people in different parts have different tastes.
Student 3: You can find differences in old Chinese poems. I live in Hangzhou. Chinese poet Su Shi once wrote about the West Lake here: “The brimming waves delight the eye on sunny days. The dimming hills present a rare view in rainy haze” (水光潋滟晴方好，山色空蒙雨亦奇). But if you read poems about the north, you’ll find that “In boundless desert lonely smoke rises straight” (大漠孤烟直). Quite different poems, aren’t they
根据语篇内容，选择最佳答案。
25．What does the underlined word “communicate” in para 2 probably mean
A．Play. B．Share. C．Talk.
26．Who can speak Minnan dialect

28．How was the weather in Hangzhou according to Su Shi’s poem

Woodcut is a kind of art work on a piece of wood. Many traditional woodcuts are printed either black and white or simple in color, but reduction woodcuts (绝版木刻) often show rich colors like Western oil paintings.
The reduction woodcuts are famous for their rich colors. On the same piece of wood, the artist cuts and prints different layers (层) in order. The artwork was listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in Pu’er city, Yunnan province, in 2009.
Leng Guangmian, 40, is a reduction woodcut artist. He started learning the art at college in 2003. He thinks that making reduction woodcut prints is just like an amazing journey. “Every time we cut a model on the woodblock and then print, we never know what it will be like in the end.” As he sees beautiful models layer by layer, he gets more excited.
But finishing such work is not easy. Before cutting, he needs to plan for the whole print and choose colors for different layers. A big print usually takes months to finish.
Leng hopes his artwork can show not only excellent woodcutting skills but also local culture and life. “My works have two series (系列). One is called the Tea Horse Road, since Pu’er is one of the starting points of that road. The other is the Disappearing Villages.” Leng said. “Many old villages in Pu’er need rebuilding for safety, so I want to make people remember their beauty before they are gone.”
29．What’s special about the reduction woodcut
A．It has one layer. B．It is colorful.
C．It uses a piece of wood. D．It is simple in color.
30．How is the work of making reduction woodcuts
A．Amazing but difficult. B．Exciting and easy.
C．Boring and hard. D．Boring but easy.
31．What is Leng’s purpose (目的) of making reduction woodcuts
A．To tell his personal stories. B．To rebuild old local villages.
C．To teach woodcut skills in Yunnan. D．To show local life and culture.
32．What may be the best title for the passage
A．An artist’s story B．A Chinese artist
