Last summer I went to one of the world's most famous historical places, the Forbidden City in Beijing, China. It was the home of the emperors（皇帝）of the last two dynasties in China, the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The Forbidden City was built in 1420. The palace has over 10,000 rooms. It was where the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers.
In Mandarin（普通话）, the Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City. However, the color of the palace itself is not purple.The color purple stands for power of the great emperors of China. It was so sacred（神圣的）that the commoners could not even dream of ever going in.
The emperor also had some of the largest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City. During Chinese New Year, the emperor would invite all the members of his family and his officials to a banquet. The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes. It was such an expensive banquet that it could feed a commoner's family for three generations（代）。
Right now the Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world. Everyone can go in there. It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques（古董）and treasures in it.

In spring, some people wear T-shirts while others are in down coats(羽绒服). It seems that people feel different temperatures on the same day. Why does this happen
In fact, people don't feel air temperature directly. There are sensors(传感器) on our skin(皮肤)that can feel cold, cool, warm, and hot temperatures. These sensors are also found in our noses and bodies.
When bodies are the same size, how much body fat we have can be different and influence(影响) how we feel temperatures. The more body fat one has, the warmer he or she feels.This is because the fat under the skin helps keep heat. For example, old people often feel colder than young people as the fat layer under the skin gets thinner with age.
Surprisingly, another reason is height. We need blood to move around our bodies to keep us warm. Since most people's hearts are about the same size, it takes more effort(力气) and time for the blood to move around in taller people. So taller people might feel colder.
Metabolism(新陈代谢) also influences how we feel temperatures. It shows how fast our bodies use energy. People with a higher metabolism always feel hotter than others. This is because they produce more heat and may take more time to cool down. For example people with more muscles(肌肉) often feel warmer.
56. How do people feel air temperature
A. With their nose. B. With sensors on their skin.
C. With their body fat. D. With their energy.
57. Why do old people feel cold more easily
A. Because their bodies get smaller.
B. Because they have thinner skin
C. Because they have less fat under their skin.
D. Because they can't keep heat.
58. According to the passage, who is most likely to feel cold
A. A tall, thin person. B. A strong, muscular person.
C. A short, thin person. D. A tall, fat person.
59. What is the structure of the story
60. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Old people often feels colder than young people.
B. Why do people react differently to the same air temperature
C. Why do people feel cold
D. Metabolism doesn't influences how we feel temperatures..

七、任务型阅读(本题5分)
Many users from the US joined Xiaohongshu in January, and Chinese users jokingly asked them to pay a“cat tax(猫税)” by sharing a photo of their cats. In return, Chinese users would send the pictures of their own cats.
After looking at hundreds of cat photos, some people noticed something interesting: The cats posted by Chinese users were rounder than those shared by American users. But why
According to the website, one key reason is the living environment. In China, many families live in high-rise apartments. To keep their cats safe, owners usually keep them indoors. However,many American homes have larger living spaces and backyards, so cats can climb and play here and there.
Cultural differences may also play a role. In Chinese culture, roundness means unity(团结)and perfection, while Americans value an adventurous(勇于冒险的) spirit. So they encourage their pets to run around and stay active.
Family influence is another reason. “My parents always show their love by making delicious food for me, so I treat my cat the same way,” explained a Chinese user from Heilongjiang.
The difference in cat body shapes between China and the US shows cultural differences between the two countries. Whether they are a fit American cat or a round Chinese cat, as long as they are healthy, that's what matters most.
71. Foreign people pay a“cat tax” on Xiaohongshu by .
72. The cats posted by Chinese users were than those shared by American users.
73. To keep their cats safe, owners in China usually .
74. In Chinese culture, roundness means .
75. The cat's matters most.
八、综合填空(本题10分)
I watched as my little brother was caught in the act. He was sitting in the corner of the living room,a pen in one hand and my father's hymnal(赞美诗集) in the o 76 .
As my father walked into the room, my brother covered slightly. It seemed that he had done something w 77 . I could see that he had opened my father's new hymnal and drew messily in it. Now he was w 78 for his punishment.
For my father, books were knowledge. They were i 79 to him. And yet he loved his children. What he did n 80 was unbelievable. Instead of punishing my brother, he s 81 down, took the pen from my brother's hand, and then wrote in the book himself, alongside(在...旁边) the messy drawings John had made:“John's work, 1980, age 2. How many times have I looked into your beautiful face and into your warm eyes looking up at me and thanked God for the one who has now drawn messily in my new hymnal. You have brought the book new life, as have your brother and sister.”
“Wow,” I thought. “This is punishment ”
The years and the books came and went. Our family e 82 what all families go through and perhaps a little bit more. But we k 83 our parents loved us and that one of the proofs(证明) of their love was the hymnal by the piano.
Dad taught us about w 84 really matters in life: people, not objects; tolerance(宽容), not judgment; love, not anger. Now I, too, am a father. But unlike my father, I do not wait for my daughters to s 85 take books from my bookshelf and draw aimlessly in them. From time to time, I take one down, and give it to one of my children to draw aimlessly in. And as I look at their artwork, I think about my father and the lessons he taught me.
