W: Hi, Bob. What did you do last weekend?

M: Hi. Amy. 【1】 It drew the world’s attention on March 20th, 2021. Chinese archaeologists (考古学家) announced that they had found more than 500 cultural relics (文物) in six pits (坑), which go back over 3200 years. The relics include bronze-ware (青铜制品), gold and bronze masks (面具) and ivory (铁).

W: 【2】

M: Covering 12 square kilometers, Sanxingdui, which was first discovered accidentally (偶然地) by local farmers in 1929, is located in Guanghan, about 60 kilometers from Chengdu. It’s believed to be the symbol of the ancient Shu Kingdom. The kingdom was a center of civilization (文明) along the Yangtze River.

W: I think the new discoveries will help to better understand many unexplained findings of Sanxingdui culture.

M: 【3】. The new discoveries are similar to those found in 1986, as they also included bronze masks and metal trees.

W: 【4】

M: For sacrifice (祭祀). They also raise an important question about the beginning of Chinese civilization. The ancient Shu civilition of Sanxingdui is regarded to be one of the earliest examples of Chinese civilization.

W: 【5】

M: Yes. These new discoveries Sanxingdui had a close connection with Liangzhu Culture in Zhejiang province which has a history of 4, 300 years to 300 years.

W: That’s very long. There are still many unknown areas in the ancient Chinese history and we have a long way to know our colorful culture.

A．What were they used for?

B．Yes, it’s good to know ancient China.

C．I went to Sanxingdui.

D．What can you learn from the text?

E．Wow, so amazing! Anything more about it?

24、   There are some popular family videos that are being posted on Chinese social media these days. In these videos, a young child calls out to their mother or father; the parent comes into the room smiling, turns around and calls out to their own parent; the grandparent then comes into the room smiling and calls out to their parent---the great- grandparent.

The form of these videos is being described as the “four-generation (四代人的) challenge”. It started on Douyin and has been popular in social media in other countries. People from all over the world have talked much about the videos and even made their own. The videos also make some people remember their family members who have been dead and remind them to love what they have. “Because of the video, I will visit my grandmother this weekend,” a Twitter user wrote.

“I have to say that family love is usually a strong value in China,” wrote Justin. “The „four-generation‟ videos have not only touched foreign viewers, but also given them a deeper look into Chinese family values.”

In most East Asian cultures, many generations of a single family like to live together. This is called an extended family (大家庭). In most Western countries, most families are nuclear families (小家庭), or families that are made up of just children and their parents.

In Western culture, private secrets and independence are highly valued. Kids usually move out of the house after they turn 18. Many of them work part-time jobs in order to pay for college. If they choose to continue living with their parents after becoming an adult, it can be seen as a sign of immaturity (不成熟).Although family forms in the East and West may be different, the love and connections between family members are the same. That might be why the “four- generation” videos have won so many hearts around the world.

【1】A Twitter user wants to visit his grandmother because he   .

A. has no choice but to do so B. is reminded by his parents

C. lives in a single-parent family D. is touched after watching the videos

【2】The underlined part in Paragraph 3 refers to   .

A. advise them to visit their Chinese relatives

B. let them know more about Chinese family values

C. give them a chance to move their families to China

D. ask them to do something valuable for Chinese families

【3】The word “independence” in Paragraph 5 means “   ”.

A. 自由 B. 独立 C. 快乐 D. 成长

【4】The “four-generation” videos are popular because   .

A. Justin has already written some reviews

B. family forms in the East and West are similar

C. the love between family members is the same

D. many generations of a single family live together

25、   Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform (制服), whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?

Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian (百姓的) clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity (身份) than to step out of uniform?

Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax- deductible (可减税的). They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.

Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality (个人) experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.

Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial (最初的) expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.

【1】It is surprising that Americans who take pride in variety and individuality ________.

A. still judge a man by his clothes

B. enjoy having a professional identity

C. think highly of uniform

D. will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform

【2】People are accustomed to thinking that a man in uniform ________.

A. discards his social identity

B. suggests quality work

C. appears to be more practical

D. looks superior to a person in civilian clothes

【3】The chief function of a uniform is to ________.

A. provide practical benefits to the wearer

B. make the wearer catch the public eye

C. inspire the wearer’s confidence in himself

D. provide the wearer with a professional identity

【4】Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage above?

A. Americans are proud of their variety and individuality instead of a uniform.

B. People trust the television repairman who wears uniform more than one who appears in civilian clothes.

C. Uniforms are more expensive than civilian clothes but they are durable.

D. Uniforms have many practical benefits as well as problems.

【5】The best title for this passage would be ________.

A. Uniforms and Society

B. Advantages and Disadvantages of Uniforms

C. Practical Benefits of Wearing a Uniform

D. The Importance of Wearing a Uniform

26、   It was September. I had just entered Grade Six. As a shy boy, I chose to be all alone reading books during the breaks while most of my classmates were eager to make new friends. And I was doing well until the third lesson on the first day.

A teacher had us fill out a questionnaire (问卷) with "get to know you" questions. I thought she would read them privately, so I felt safe to share who I was. However, after the teacher collected the papers, she mixed them up and passed them to the class. One by one, we read out the student's name and then our two favorite answers. My paper went to a mean kid. His "favorite answers" of mine were the two worst ones to be read out loud.

The first question was "What's your favorite movie?" While other kids wrote the latest movies, my answer was "The Wizard of Oz (绿野仙踪)." It was a film made in 1939. The next question was "Where would you like to travel?" The others had said "Australia" or "Japan." I wrote, "Wherever a good book takes me." A loud laugh broke out immediately.

My face burned. I stared at my schoolbag. How I wished I could disappear inside it!

But then, something amazing happened. A voice from the back of the room said, "Guys, cut it out!" It was Michael, a popular boy. The room went silent.

Michael then turned to the teacher, "Why are you letting this happen? What is the point if we are making fun of each other?"

Fifteen years have passed since then. I don't remember the teacher or the mean kids. But Michael was the hero in my eyes. I can't forget how it felt when he spoke up for me.

【1】From the first two paragraphs, we know that the writer ________.

A.was the shyest in class B.showed great interest in reading

C.was good at his lessons D.felt too nervous to write anything

【2】The teacher had the students write down the answers to ________.

A.let them know each other B.find out the cleverest kid

C.learn to be friendly to classmates D.introduce the most popular movie

【3】It can be inferred that the writer was laughed at because ________.

A.he made his favorite film in 1939 B.both of his answers were wrong

C.he gave his answers quite differently D.his classmates didn't like him

【4】What might be the best title for the passage?

A.The hero in my eyes B.The mean kids

C.Two difficult questions D.An important survey

27、Our class was great. But things turned upside down when Martin Mackenzie arrived. Martin was loud, rude and had a bad temper (脾气).You never knew what might make him angry, so it was best to keep out of his way. On the last day of term, my friend Harley said to me. “Martin’s looking at you.” he said. I was scared, and I didn’t know what to do. I looked at Martin and tried to smile. Martin didn't smile back…

“You’re in trouble now, Josh,” Harley said. “Martin’s going to do something mean (卑鄙的) to you.” “I haven’t done anything to him,” I said. “Why would he do something mean to me?” “He doesn’t need a reason. It’s just how he is.” I kept away from Martin at lunch time. I smiled as I went to the car park after school. I was safe from Martin for the holidays. But suddenly, a voice called out, “See you on Monday, Josh!” I turned and saw Martin looking at me. “What are you talking about?” I asked. “Didn’t your mum tell you?” Martin said. “I’m staying with you for the next two weeks.”

“Please tell me Martin Mackenzie isn’t coming to stay over the holidays, Mum,” I said, as I got into the car. “Yes, he is,” Mum said. “His mother has to work, and I said I’d help her. Is that a problem?” “Yep, it is. He’s a bully (恃强欺弱者), and everyone is scared of him,” I said. Mum frowned. “I’ve given my word, Josh__You will just have to get along.”

On Monday morning, Martin arrived. “Good morning, Mrs Grey,” he said. “Thank you for allowing me to stay. Good morning, Josh. It’s wonderful to see you again.” This wasn’t the Martin I knew. Wait until we’re alone, I thought. Then his good manners will disappear, and he’ll be horrible (可怕的) again. I was right! As soon as Mum was gone, Martin turned mean. He took over everything, and there was nothing I could do about. It was going to be a long two weeks…

I told Mum how horrible Martin was to me. “I’ve just had a talk to Martin’s mum about that,”

she said. “You need to know something.” “What?” I asked. “Martin's dad left.” Mum said. “So his mother moved the family every time she found a better job. Martin used to make new friends, but they always forgot about him when he moved. I think he’s unfriendly from the start, so he won’t be

disappointed (失望的) when he leaves.” I looked at Mum. “1 feel sorry for him,” I said. But he is still horrible. “What can I do?” “Treat him like your best friend --- no matter how he acts,” Mum said.

It was hard work, but I kept at it over the next two weeks. At last, Martin stopped bullying me. That was when I found out he was a nice kid.

Martin’s mum was excited when she came to get him on the last day. “Martin! I’ve decided my new job is perfect, so we won’t have to move again!” Martin smiled. “Now I can keep my friends!” he said. “But, there’s a problem. Everyone’s scared of me.”

“Maybe we can fix that,” I said. When Martin and his mum left. I had a word with Mum. We invited my whole class to a party. Martin was very polite and made lots of new friends that night.

28、   Dick was a smart young man whose parents were not rich. He had to work in his s【1】 time. He managed to go to university, but it was so expensive to study there 【2】 he found it necessary to get 【3】 (至少) two part-time jobs at the same time so as to 【4】 (确保) that he could get enough money for his studies.

One summer he got a job in a shop which sold meat d【5】 the daytime and another job in a hospital at n【6】. On the one hand, in the shop, he learned to 【7】 ( 切 碎 ) meat quite nicely, so the 【8】 [bɒs]of the shop often let Dick do all the business while he was out.

29、It is a hard thing to forgive(宽恕) people. My best friend and I had a(n) ______ recently and we decided not to talk to each other over the summer.
