二、完形填空(每题 1 分，共 10分。)
Do you know that there are twelve Chinese zodiac signs, each one represented by an animal Each one of the twelve animals has their own characteristics and attributes, and each year is represented by a 36 animal.For example, 1990 was the year of the Horse, 37 2010 was the year of the Tiger.
In Chinese culture, some people believe that a person's success, personality and marriage are based on the animal of the year in which they were born.However, the origin of the zodiac signs is based on a legend. Long ago, the Jade Emperor wanted to 38 twelve animals to be his guards. So, all animals on Earth were ordered to take part in a 39 race. The first twelve animals to swim across the fast river would be the winners of the race, and therefore would have a year of the zodiac specially given to 40 .
The Rat came first because he jumped on the back of the Ox to cross the river, and then suddenly jumped down from the Ox and ran to the Emperor's feet to win first place. As Tiger and Rabbit are both fast and competitive, they both raced to the finish line, with Tiger being faster. Dragons are naturally eye-catching, so the Emperor immediately noticed it and said his son could be fifth.
Immediately after, Snake said Dragon was his adopted father, so he came 41 . Then, as Horse and Goat were both 42 and kind to one another, they let each other go first, so they came seventh and eighth.
The ninth animal to finish the race was Monkey, as he jumped between trees and stones to catch up with the other animals after falling behind. Finally, the last three animals to finish the race were the Rooster, Dog and Pig.Some people wonder 43 the cat isn't one of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals, and many people believe that the Cat joined the Rat in jumping on the Ox's back to cross the river, but the Rat pushed it into the water, so it was washed away and didn't 44 the Emperor in time to get a ranking.
No wonder cats and rats are always 45 in our daily lives.The story is well-known in Chinese culture, and although it's made up, it's definitely interesting to learn about and tell your friends and family about!

As we walk the "path of life", we may sometimes wish to be alone with our own thoughts, for quiet moments of reflection (反省) can lead to personal improvement. However, when we want to be alone, we must be careful that we do not always jump into our own world. Social life is also important to all of us.
As we live in social groups, there are many benefits of friendship that we can enjoy. Generally speaking, close friendships have three "fruits": they may comfort the heart, advise the head and help us achieve the goals we set for ourselves.
Through friendship, we can become happier, wiser and more satisfied humans.The first fruit of friendship is the peace that comes from sharing with friends our joy, sadness, success and failure.
Here, friendship has a double advantage—happiness takes on a greater meaning and a trouble shared becomes a trouble halved! Naturally, this kind of openness results from a close friendship. We know that our friends will both respect our feelings and treasure these moments of closeness.The second fruit of friendship is the better understanding and judgement (评判) that may be achieved through conversations with well-meaning and wise friends. We often find it easier to recognize other people's weaknesses than our own. As a result, if we are guided only by our own feelings, our judgements might be one-sided. On the other hand, our friends are better able to offer advice on important decisions that we all have to make. This helps make our thoughts clearer and brings us a more thorough (彻底的) understanding of our problems.
The third fruit of friendship is the help that a friend may offer in many different ways. Sometimes a friend is even known as our "second self". There are so many things in life that can only be achieved with the help of friends. Friends may have many different ideas and skills.Finally, it should be pointed out that enjoying the company of a crowd is not the same as being with friends.
Friends should be carefully chosen and relationships carefully developed. In this way, we can better walk the "path of life" with the comfort, advice and help from our trusted friends.
( ) 48. According to the passage, close friendships have a lot of "fruits" EXCEPT ______.
making our hearts peaceful
achieving our goals with friends' help
guiding our own feelings easily
D. understanding our problems better
( ) 49. We can achieve better understanding by talking with wise friends because ______.
it is more difficult to realize other people's weaknesses than ourselves
our judgements won't be one-sided if we are guided only by our feelings
our friends are able to offer better advice on our important decisions
D. it gives us a chance to completely understand our friends' problems
( ) 50. Which shows the best structure of the passage A.B.C.D.
( ) 51. What is the best title for the passage
Walking the Path of Life
Understanding of Friendship
Advice on Making Friends
D. Improvements of Social Life

Yangzhou Jade Carving, a shining gem among Chinese traditional handicrafts, has a history stretching back over 2,500 years. Legend has it that during the Spring and Autumn Period, local craftsmen began to carve jade into simple decorations, marking the birth of this art form. Located in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, the city's rich cultural heritage and access to high-quality jade materials contributed to the growth of this unique craft.The process begins with carefully selecting the right jade, considering its color, texture, and shape.
After that, carvers spend days or even weeks planning the design, sketching patterns on the jade surface. Then comes the most challenging part — carving. They carve detailed patterns, such as blooming flowers, flying birds, scenes from classic Chinese novels, and ancient historical stories. Every line and curve is carved with great care to show the harmony between nature and people.
Throughout history, Yangzhou Jade Carving has developed different styles in various periods. In the Tang Dynasty, influenced by foreign cultures, the carvings became more various in themes. During the Qing Dynasty, it reached its peak, with large-scale jade sculptures for the royal family.
These artworks not only reflect the high-level carving skills but also record the social and cultural features of different times.Today, Yangzhou Jade Carving faces new challenges. The complex and time-consuming process discourages many young people from learning this traditional skill. ______ They offer jade-carving courses, invite master carvers to teach students, and even organize international exhibitions to promote this art. They believe that by combining traditional techniques with modern designs, they can attract more people's attention and keep this amazing art alive for future generations.If you visit Yangzhou, don't miss the chance to see these wonderful jade artworks at the local museums or workshops. Each piece tells a story, and they will surely give you a deeper understanding of Chinese culture and the beauty of traditional craftsmanship.

Having a teenager at home can be a real headache. Many teenagers smoke, wear strange hairstyles and even fight. Basically, they are often taking risks.Earlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely to make irrational decisions than people from any other age group, including children and adults. Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong
Not really. So what's the reason According to Laurence, a teacher from a US university, the reason is that teenagers care a lot about how their peers (同龄人) view them—that is "peer influence".As children enter their teenage years, they spend more time with their friends and classmates, and also they care more about what they think of them.
This makes teenagers make decisions without thinking about the costs.In a test, a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game. When they played with their friends watching around them, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning. But when they played alone, they drove more safely.
Why do peers have such a big influence on teens' behavior As Laurence sees it, a teenager's brain is like a car with a good accelerator (油门) but a weak brake (刹车). The "accelerator" is fully developed by teenage years while the "brake" is still not fully developed. When teenagers are watched by their peers, they usually push hard on the accelerator. With their weak brake, it is likely that they are going to end up in an accident.But the good news is that a violent (暴力的) teenager doesn't necessarily become a violent adult. About two-thirds to three-quarters of violent youth grow out of it. "They get more self-controlled."
( ) 56. What does the underlined word "irrational" in the 2nd paragraph mean
Quick.B. Crazy.C. Careful.D. Correct.
( ) 57. Why are teenagers often taking risks according to the text
They like difficult tasks.
They care about costs.
They are too young to tell right from wrong.
They care a lot about what their peers think of them.
( ) 58. How does Laurence explain the influence of peer influence on teens' behavior
By using a metaphor (比喻).
By giving examples.
By presenting research findings.
By performing an in-depth analysis (分析).
( ) 59. According to the text, with peers around them, teenagers tend to (倾向于) ______.
use more self-control
focus more on short-term benefits
perform better than when they are alone
become more careful about what they do
( ) 60. What can we learn from the text
Peer influence is bad for teenagers.
Teenagers are easy to have traffic accidents.
Most of the teenagers become less violent when they grow up.
D. Teenagers shouldn't spend all the free time with their friends.
