第一节
Dear Mike,
In your last letter,you mentioned that you wanted to konw something about the Spring
Festival.I am writing to tell you about it.
The Spring Festival has a long history,which was originally celebrated to scare away a fierce
monster "Nian".Slightly different from that in the past,it is now given new meanings and
regarded as a way for people to enjoy the reunion with their families,however far they live or
work.On the New Year's Eve,each family has its members gathered together.They tell each
other their lives in the past year,exchange gifts and eat a lot of delicious meals in the warmth of
the family.Children can get lucky money in red envelops.People have a good time,watching
the Spring Festival Gala,and join in other celebrations.
I hope you will come here and experience this wonderful festival.
Yours,Li Hua

I ran home and told my mother what had happened.She held me while I wept for hours.I
felt so lonely and disappointed.I wanted to lie in my bed forever,but I knew I would have to go
back eventually.The advice my mother gave was so simple,"Just be yourself and people will
like you for who you are.I had heard it a million times,but this time I fully understood it.I
decided to stop crying and discover who I was.That was exactly what I should do.
Over the next month,I went through a lot of changes.I bought the clothes that I wand to
wear.I rediscovered reading.began making new friends.Despite the pain I felt that day,it was
a gif Ashley and her group had given me.They made me aware that I was just following,irying

A
It's currently December and Christmas is almost here. And what better way to spend time with your loved ones than sitting down to watch some classic Christmas movies Listed below are four films that will make you laugh, cry or both this festive season.
The Grinch(2000)
This is a Christmas must-watch and one of Jim Carrev's best performances. It was also originally a children's book written by Dr Seuss, which I would recommend reading! It's the story of a green monster who wants to ruin Christmas, but who in the end discovers the power of love and generosity. I promise it's a great film with plenty of laughs along the way.
Love Actually(2003)
While this is not a personal favourite of mine, people in the UK absolutely love this film. It has a number of stars, featuring actors and actresses such as Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman. It might be a little difficult to follow as there are lots of different sub-plots, so I recommend watching a dubbed version(配音版) in your native language..
Home Alone (1990)
This film is one of my favourite films of all time and I would watch it all year round if I could. It tells the story of a boy, Kevin, who is left alone in his house when his large family forget to take him on vacation with them. While the family are away, burglars(小偷) try to rob the house and Kevin must protect his home by setting traps. The trips, falls and traps will have you laughing out loud as you watch a 10-year-old boy outsmart two grown men.
Miracle on 34th Street(1994)
You can't have Christmas in an English-speaking country without watching this film. It's not funny like Home Alone or The Grinch, but it is incredibly touching. It's about a man who claims to be Santa, but nobody believes him except a lawyer and a little girl.
21. In which film can you see Jim Carrey's wonderful performance
A. The Grinch. B. Love Actually. C. Home Alone. D. Miracle on 34th Street.
22. What can we know about Love Actually
A. It's one of the author's favorite films.
B. We'd better watch a dubbed version.
C. It's a film about the power of love and generosity.
D. Some handkerchief papers are necessary when we watch it.
23. What do the film The Grinch and Home Alone have in common
A. They are very touching.
B. They are only fit for children.
C. They are funny and make people laugh a lot.
D. They are popular and tell a story about kids.
B
Feeling tired Under too much stress Well, you may want to try Yoga. It's what more and more people have been turning to release the trouble of modern life. Practically unheard of in the West until 50 years ago, Yoga has become one of the most popular health trends around the world, including China. If you search for Yoga on line in Chinese, lots of pages are there to see, most of which are main pages of Yoga clubs. In order to keep fit and lose weight, many girls spend more than 1000 yuan taking part in Yoga classes every month.
However, are you really ready for it There are several things you need to know before very really take it. first, do not force your body too much. Yoga has many difficult poses. They are beautiful and worth boasting if you could finish them. But if you force yourself to do as exactly as an experienced Yoga teacher does, you may hurt your body, instead of strengthening it. Do you remember your original purpose for playing Yoga It is self -building, not competing.
Second, do some research about the Yoga class. Yoga is new in China and there are not so many certificated well-trained Yoga teachers. Some not well-organized clubs just find someone learn a little Yoga and certificate them. But be aware, a noneligible teacher might wrongly guide you and you could not benefit from the classes much, except that they force you to exercise your body a bit. Considering about the large amount of money you invest in it, it's worth and reasonable to make sure the teachers in the club are qualified before you join.
Third, it would be better to learn something about nutrition when you practice Yoga. In the very beginning, Yoga was part of the Vedas, bible of the traditional Indian philosophy. So it could be regarded as a kind of lifestyle. When you have decided to care for your body, why not feed it properly In fact, good clubs have their own nutritionists.
Anyhow, make sure you are ready before you act. The fashion may change quickly., But what benefits is still good for us.

Rain or shine, Tsering Chopa treks(艰苦跋涉) for long hours to deliver mail. For 18 years, the Tibetan mailman has been an important link between a remote, high-altitude settlement and the rest of the world. At 5,373 meters above sea level, Pumachangthang in Nakarze county of the Tibet autonomous region is China's highest township(乡镇). The oxygen level is less than 40percent and the annual average temperature is --7℃ . However, these weren't the biggest challenges for a postal service. The area of the township is about 1,500 square kilometers, but its population is less than 2,000. The distance from the county town is some 70 km and a single trip to all the six villages can be as long as 160 km. The dogged perseverance required to get the job done under such conditions needs no further explanation.
The busiest time for Tsering Chopa is between July and August each year, when students are waiting for their admission letters from various universities. He recalls once he had to deliver mail to one student whose family had already moved away. He had to quiz neighbors several times to find the new address. It was summer and the usual road to the village was blocked because of rain. He trekked for more than 20 km and grappled with shortness of breath all the way to finally deliver the letter. “I don't mind the hardships because it is not easy for students from remote villages to get college admission. It was my duty to deliver the mail on time,” he says.
One night in February 2019, a local resident Nyima Tsering's daughter had fainted and desperately needed help. Knowing that, the mailman arranged for a car right away and sent her to the county hospital. He also gave some cash to the family for the girl's treatment. Nyima Tsering’s daughter recovered soon, and Tsering Chopa became an idol in the village. “I will never forget his compassion and kindness,” says the grateful father.
In 2019, Tsering Chopa received the China Youth May Fourth Medal. “It is an acknowledgment of what I do and a token of encouragement as well,” he says. “And I want to help more people living in remote areas. I want to bring the world closer to them and take them closer to the world.”
28. Which is the most challenging part of Tsering Chopa's work
A. Trekking for long distances. B. Suffering from cold temperatures.
C. Standing extremely bad road conditions. D. Adapting to the high-altitude environment.
29. What words can best describe Tsering Chopa according to paragraph 2
A. Optimistic and cautious. B. Generous and intelligent.
C. Courageous and ambitious. D. Determined and responsible.
30. How did Tscring Chopa help Nyima Tsering
A. Tsering Chopa fixed his car for free.
B. Tsering Chopa helped to save his daughter's life.
C. Tsering Chopa delivered his admission letters quickly.
D. Tsering Chopa drove him to a hospital for treatment.

D. Post Service Creates a Convenient Life

Humans evolve(进化) from apes. This is what we learned in biology class. But what came before apes Chinese scientists have discovered fossils(化石) that could enrich the evolutionary story of how humans evolved from fish.
According to four articles published in the journal Nature in late September, Chinese researchers found fish fossils that provide the “missing link” about the origin of the jaw(颌:颚),a key feature that 99.8 percent of vertebrate(脊椎动物) species have.
Zhu Min, a lead researcher of the studies from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that the findings drew a large amount of interest in the science world because of the importance of jaws in animal evolution. However, the rise of the jaw had been a secret for a lack of enough fossil evidence to support that jawed vertebrates lived 450 million years ago.
The latest findings made by Zhu's team presented a set of five surprisingly well-preserved fish fossils that included three whole-bodied fish, helping scientists paint a more correct evolutionary picture of the origin of the jaw. The fish fossils were discovered at two places in Chongqing and Guizhou, whose strata(岩层) date back to the Silurian Time that began around440 million years ago.
These fossils show that jawed fish were already rising in the world's ancient oceans at that time. Later, more different and larger jawed fish evolved and began to spread around the world, paving the way for some fish to finally go on land and evolve into other animals-including humans.
These fossils provide a good opportunity to understand the ‘dawn of fish’and help scientists trace many human body structures back to these ancient fish thus filling some key gaps in the evolutionary history of how fish evolved into humans, “Zhu said.
32. In which column of a magazine will you most probably read the passage
A. Entertainment. B. Animals. C. Science. D. History.
33. Why did the findings draw a large amount of interest in the science world
A. Because there is a lack of fish fossils.
B. Because jaws are a key feature of all species.
C. Because the missing of the jaw had been a mystery.
D. Because jaws are significant while animals evolve.
34. What does the underlined phrase “at that time” refer to
A. Around 440 million years ago. B. Around 450 million years ago.
C. When fish evolved into humans. D. When jawed fish began to spread around the world.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Who Are Our Ancestors B. What Came Before Apes
C. The Origin of the Jaw D. Key Steps in Evolution

第二节 读后续写(满分 25分)
阅读下面材料， 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段， 使之构成一篇完整的短文。I wasn't a popular kid in the first year of high school. In fact, I was awkward. I had no close friends. I mostly kept to myself with my head buried in a book. This was why I was so surprised when Ashley and I became friends the summer before the second year.
Ashley was quite popular. We had always been in the same classes throughout school, but had never really talked much.
During summer school, we were both taking classes. The teacher paired us up on an assignment(任务). Ashley seemed unwilling to work with me at first, but she agreed because none of her friends were in the class. We met at the library to work on the project. When classes ended we continued to hang out.
I looked up to Ashley. I began listening to the music she listened to and wearing the clothes she wore. I quit reading and started watching the TV programs she watched.
When we started school again, Ashley introduced me to her group of friends. I followed them around, laughing when they told jokes, and agreeing when they had opinions though I disagreed with them. This continued for several months.
One day, I skipped(悄悄溜走) out of my last class a few minutes early so I could get a table in the canteen for our group. I sat down in the seat and began working on some homework, awaiting their arrival. Concentrating on my paper, I didn't notice that they had sat down at the
table behind me. Before I could say a word, I realized what they were talking about. I listened silently. “She’s such a loser,” one girl said. “She just follows you around trying to
be you. She doesn't have a personality of her own,” another girl added. Then Ashley herself replied, “I know. I wish she would leave us alone. We were in summer
school together and now she thinks we're best friends.” I was shocked and heartbroken. I didn't know they thought of me in that way. I got up and
ran out the door. The girls sat in silence as they realized I had heard the whole conversation.注意：

I ran home and told my mother what had happened.
