In December 2020, the “quiet carriage” service was first introduced on some trains of the high-speed railway. Up to June 2024, this service has expanded to more than 90 trains.
The “quiet carriages” feature silent videos and announcements made at a low volume (音量). Doors at both ends of the carriage are closed to reduce noise from outside. During the trip, passengers must wear earphones or turn off loudspeakers when using electronic devices. They also need to leave their seats to make or answer calls, and their phones should be set to silent or vibrate mode (振动模式). For those travelling with children, they must take care of them and keep them quiet.
Mr. Li, a Chengdu local, said, “I make at least one round trip a week between Chengdu and Chongqing for work. I sometimes need to focus on my work or get some rest during the hour-long trip. The ‘quiet carriage’ is a good choice for me.”
“When I booked the tickets, I first saw the option (选项) for the ‘quiet carriage’, and I wanted to give it a shot,” said Miss Mou, who took the train from Beijing to Shanghai. “When I entered the carriage for the first time, signs reminding passengers to keep quiet were everywhere, and it was really much quieter than the other carriages.
Experts say that the “quiet carriage” service provides passengers with more value-added choices. It not only helps passengers to follow public order and respect the rights of others, but also creates a more civilized (文明) travelling environment.
1．Which of the following is TRUE about the “quiet carriages”
A．They have been around for at least five years.
B．They create a separate space for passengers.
C．No announcements are made in these carriages
2．If a little boy cries loudly in a “quiet carriage”, his parents had better first ________.
A．run a health check on him carefully
B．ask others for help
C．take him out of the carriage
3．What does the underlined part “give it a shot” probably mean
A．Have a try. B．Shut it off. C．Take a break.
4．Why does the author mention Mr. Li and Miss Mou
A．To show the service that passengers can enjoy.
B．To explain what makes the “quiet carriages” special.
C．To show that the “quiet carriage” service is well received.
阅读短文及文后A～E选项，选出可以填入1～5各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Many people travel to different places in the world by air. Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plane. So airlines offer passengers food. 5
To deal with this problem, airlines try hard to improve their food. 6 However, the food itself is not the main reason. According to a scientific research, part of the reason is that at high altitude (海拔) we cannot taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off. 7 So our taste buds become senseless. The sad fact, however, is that our noses don’t know it. 8 They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy food. Without doing so, the food would be tasteless.
Now there are many researches on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. And scientists write down their feelings about food taste.
9 Because they can’t deal with the special environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure. So making food taste good is still hard for them.
A．Though scientists try their best, things are not as easy as they thought.
B．They would like to do so because they don’t want to lose customers.
C．But it is common that the food taste is considered to be bad.
D．All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad.
E．As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure reduces one third of our taste buds.
Founded in 1971, a social service organization is trying to care for any person in need. It serves 15,000 poor people each year. In the beginning, when its members were unable to fully meet certain people’s needs at work, they often entered into discussions, finding how they could help on their own. When Executive Director Bill Sullivan saw what was happening, he had an idea. He organized a team with workers to show their care. And he called the team “the village”
The team wants to help someone achieve his or her goals (目标) and it wants to do so by having workers give away their own time, money, skills, and anything else they could offer. People who work at the organization are encouraged to care for others. “The cool thing about ‘the village’ is that we believe in our workers and the power (力量) of care that lies within them,” said Sullivan.
“The village” allows people to feel comfortable giving what they can, as all donations are unnamed. “Someone who gives away a car is no more important than the person who sits and listens to someone to let him or her feel loved and cared for,” said Sullivan.
The first person getting help from “the village” was a homeless man. Within just three weeks, “the village” provided him with a car, an apartment and other things. The man said that he had lost all hope before he came across “the village”. It gave him a chance to start over. He wanted to give back by volunteering to help others and make a difference in the community.
“The power of care is clear and has lasting influences — not just on the people who receive donations, but also on those giving away things. It can lead to an understanding of ourselves — who we are, and how important we actually are,” Sullivan said. The power of care is great because it provides a goal — something we all try to achieve within our lives. Many call this love.
10．What does the first paragraph mainly tell us
A．The change in the organization. B．The background of “the village”.
C．The difficulty faced by “the village”. D．The achievement of the organization.
11．How did the homeless man in Paragraph 4 probably feel about “the village”
A．Upset but careful. B．Shocked but patient.
C．Doubtful and worried. D．Thankful and encouraged.
12．What does the underlined word “It” refer to
A．Finding a goal. B．The power of care.
C．Giving away things. D．A social service organization.
13．Which of the following about “the village” may Sullivan agree with
A．Material donations are more popular. B．The workers like direct conversations better.
C．Donations in different forms are all welcome. D．The receivers need to know the members’ names.
14．What would be the best title of the passage
A．How to help people in need. B．A helpful and loving “village”.
C．A difficult but meaningful activity. D．How to understand love between people.

Community canteens (社区食堂) are becoming popular among young people. 15 As the elderly may face challenges in cooking, and now many young people cannot cook, these canteens have become perfect places for both the old and the young.
For only 20 yuan, Xiao Fang ordered a well-balanced lunch at a community canteen. 16 She said the dishes had a home-cooked taste, just as she expected and the canteen was also clean.

The buffet (自助餐) there is priced at just 2.48 yuan per 50 grams. 19 The canteen has attracted many customers nearby. “Though it’s a community canteen, it is designed beautifully.

The Qingming Festival usually falls around April 5 each year. “Qingming” is the fifth solar term (节气) of a year, and it’s the only solar term on the Chinese lunar calendar that is also an important traditional festival. For thousands of years, Chinese people carry out different customs to spend the festival.
It’s a festival in memory of the dead. That’s why it’s also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day. Traditionally, people show respect for their ancestors by visiting their tombs, they would also offer food and flowers to their ancestors.
“Qingming” comes as temperatures begin to rise and rainfall increases. Therefore, there has been the tradition of planting trees during the festival.
In China, willows (柳树) are considered magical, so during the festival, people wear soft willow branches and also place them on their front doors to drive away ghosts and evil spirits.
Flying kites is also an important custom during the festival. In the past, people would cut the string to let a kite fly freely. It’s believed that doing so brings good luck and even keeps people away from illnesses.
No celebration is complete without delicious food. With this in mind, sweet green rice balls are a popular dish to eat during the festival. They are made of a mixture of glutinous rice powder (糯米粉) and green vegetable juice with something sweet in them.
Ever since ancient times, Chinese people have had the custom of going for an outing during the festival. With the development of the society, the festival has become a popular tourism holiday for spring outings and flower viewing.
This year, people across China enjoyed a three-day public holiday during the festival. Many people booked on the Internet before the holiday.

In Britain, Australia, Canada and a few other English-speaking countries, people don’t stop celebrating when Christmas Day is over. They also celebrate the following day, known as Boxing Day. It is a popular day for giving additional (额外的) gifts. It has been celebrated for so long, but nobody exactly knows how it started.
Some people believe Boxing Day began in the Middle Ages. In those days, in some special places there were special collection boxes where people threw money for the poor. The days after Christmas the boxes were opened and the money was counted. Then the money was used for helping the poor in the area.
Others believe Boxing Day started about 300 years ago when some rich people had Christmas feasts. They offered lots of food to their guests. Because many servants (仆人) were needed to make and serve the food, they could not celebrate Christmas with their families. To thank them, the rich people would put food into boxes for their servants to take home.
Now Boxing Day has become a public holiday in some countries. Some people spend the day boxing up old or unwanted things and donating (捐赠) them to the poor. Many people are active in helping service organizations (组织) like the Red Cross.

Whether it’s one day off or a week, you don’t need to be among people to have a great time. 45 You can spend your holiday on your own doing something you have no time to do in your everyday life.
Eat your favorite food. They can bring you much pleasure for sure. You can make a healthy meal at home. Cook something you love but usually don’t have time to make. Instead of having meals at home, you can also go to a local restaurant for something special. Eat it there, or bring it home. 46
Stay away from technology. You may have a chance to find the real beauty of life. Maybe you can’t help playing with your smart phones all day while you are on holiday alone. Why not create more time to go hiking, fly kites or do some other outdoor activities 47
48 You can go shopping, see a film, or take a class. Take your time to search for something even small that you want. Going to see a movie or a show alone can be a fun experience. Use your holiday as a chance to try something new like dancing or painting.

My vacation with Grandma and Grandpa was great! They moved to Arizona when I was five. I stayed with them for two weeks this summer.
This was my first time to travel by myself. On the plane, I saw a picture. It was a picture of Walpi, an old Hopi village where Grandma and Grandpa lived. The village was on a mountain. I wasn’t sure if I could climb up to it.
Grandpa met me at the airport (飞机场). As we drove away from the city, I enjoyed the beauty of the desert (沙漠). Since I arrived at Walpi, I looked down and found that we were so high up.
Grandma waited for me at home. It was hot and sunny outside but it was cool in their house. Grandma said the house was made of stones and the stones could keep the rooms cool.
I really like Hopi people. They were friendly. One man helped me make a gift for Mom. I played ball game with the children there. It seemed that I was part of the big family in the village. It was hard to say goodbye to my grandparents when my two-week vacation was over. I wish I could live in Walpi for another two weeks!

New Year is a time to celebrate for almost everyone around the world. In Britain, people go to pubs to dance the old year away and to welcome the new one at-midnight. In recent years, street patties have become more popular. Hundreds or even thousands of people gather in squares, main streets or on the riverbanks to listen to bands playing and to see fireworks display.
For people who stay at home, most of them watch special and live New Year shows on TV with the hosts. As the last seconds of the old year are ticked away from 10 to 1; the bells of the New Year are rung.
In Scotland people visit their neighbors, drink, dance and generally have a good time on New Year’s Eve. If you’re invited to a Scottish home. you should bring some important things with you: some coal, shortbread and whisky.
The coal shows warmth, so you’re wishing that the people you visit will have enough heat in the coming year. The shortbread represents food, so you’re hoping that the people will have enough to eat in the new year. Some Scots call whisky “the water of life”, so when you hand over your bottle to your hosts, it means you want them to have enough to drink over the next 12 months.
There’s one more key task you still need to perform if you can. The first person to knock on a neighbor’s door is supposed to be a tall and handsome man. If you are, you’ll bring good luck to the household. What if that’s not you Well, don’t ting the bell. Wait a while and the right person will turn up soon!

In some places around the world, the day after Christmas is called Boxing Day. In Britain, Australia, Canada and other places, Boxing Day is a national holiday.
There are several thoughts on how the holiday became known as Boxing Day. The most widely held understanding of the origins (起源) of Boxing Day comes from a tradition among rich people. They would give a “Christmas Box” to their servants and other workers. The box would have money and gifts. The AP story says the start of Boxing Day may even date back to the times of the Romans. Roman invaders (入侵者) brought the practice to Britain. The tradition was then taken up by churches (教堂). Churches would put boxes outside their doors to collect money for the poor.
Boxing Day is still celebrated today in many countries around the world. However, the United States is not one of them. But the Christmas holiday, which takes place the day before, is often filled with boxes. Boxes are useful for storing (储存) all kinds of things—especially gifts! It is fun to shake a gift box and try to guess what is inside. But an empty box can be just as much fun. Just ask any child...or any cat, for that matter.
An empty box can lead to imaginative play. It can become anything! It can be a secret house in the forest or a boat on the open sea. That’s because children are masters at “thinking outside the box”. Someone who thinks outside the box is not controlled by rules or tradition. Instead, he or she always thinks about ideas and considers solutions that are creative and unusual.
These are something about Boxing Day. Though plenty of families and businesses still celebrate Boxing Day by helping the less lucky, Boxing Day is now also celebrated with friends and family.
90．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2
A．How Boxing Day became popular.
B．How rich people celebrate Boxing Day.
C．It introduces some origins of Boxing Day.
D．It talks about the tradition of Boxing Day.
91．What does “thinking outside the box” in Paragraph 4 mean according to the passage
A．A boat on the open sea.
B．A secret house in the forest.
C．Being controlled by rules or tradition.
D．Trying to find out creative solutions.
92．What can we know from the passage
A．Boxing Day is still celebrated in America.
B．Children aren’t interested in any empty box.
C．The origin of Boxing Day comes from poor people.
D．You can also celebrate Boxing Day with your friends and family.
93．Which of the following best shows the structure (结构) of the passage
A．①/②③④⑤
B．①②③④/⑤
C．①/②③④/⑤
D．①②/③/④⑤
94．What would be the best title for the passage
A．Gifts on Boxing Day
