24、

Zhang Guimei is a teacher and principal of Huaping Girls’ High School in Lijiang City. The school is the first full-tuition-free high school in China, helping poor girls continue their studies after completing the nine-year education. In the past 12 years, Zhang has helped over 1,600 girls.

Zhang moved to Yunnan at the age of 17. Later, she grew up to be a teacher. In 1996, she voluntarily moved to teach in the mountainous Huaping. But the next year, she got seriously sick and had no money to pay for the surgery. Thanks to the local government and people, she was able to get the necessary treatment. “I told myself I must live on. I fought the disease to see if I could survive. And I remembered deeply in my heart that I must repay this love from those who helped me,” Zhang said.

Driven by the idea of opening a free high school for girls in 2002, Zhang began a six-year journey looking for funds and donations. In 2008, Zhang was finally able to realize her dream and Huaping Girls’ High school was set up.

Over the 12 years, Zhang has given all of the donations and most of her salary, totaling more than one million yuan, to the school and the education of the young girls in the area.

“It is she that gives us girls from the mountainous areas the chance to see the world outside,” said Yang Qian, a college student who graduated from Zhang’s school.

Touched by Zhang’s story and spirit, the Yunnan Normal University has planned some projects to work with Huaping Girls’ High School and promised to send 46 future graduates as volunteer teachers each year to the school.

D．In the past 12 years, Zhang wants to help 1,600 girls.

【2】Why did Zhang make up her mind to help those young girls?

C．She had wished to set up a school since she was a child.

D．She found out that the local school needed more teachers.

【3】What do we know about Huaping Girls’ High School?

25、Luosifen(螺蛳粉) became the most popular Chinese New Year’s snack in 2021 on Tmall and Taobao, as Chinese people prepare for a stay-at-home holiday due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Spring Festival was in February. On the traditional Laba Festival, which fell on January 20, Tmall and Taobao started a one-month-long “2021 Online Chinese New Year’s Goods Festival” to help people across the country easily buy some seasonal specials.

Traditionally, dried fruits, sweets, and pastries are a must-buy “three-piece set” snacks for the Chinese New Year. But in 2021, Luoshifen took their place. According to Tmall and Taobao, on the first day of the online festival they sold Luosifen 15 times more than the year before, with the number of buyers growing nine times year on year. The largest group of buyers was the post-90s(90后).

Self-heating hot pots(自热锅) were only second to Luosifen on the most popular goods list by Tmall and Taobao. On Wednesday, nearly 200,000 buyers placed orders for these pots, compared to less than 20,000 the year before.

Although people traditionally celebrate the Spring Festival by buying New Year’s goods, getting together and sending greetings, they may raise the risk of spreading the corona-virus(冠状病毒), so the online Chinese New Year’s Goods Festival helps people spend a happy Spring Festival at home.

C．on the Laba Festival

26、In recent weeks, we have talked about how people learning a foreign language can be fooled by “false(假的) friends.” These are words that look or sound alike in other languages, but have completely different meanings.

Today we will consider a few examples of false friends in English and German. However, English itself is a Germanic language, and there are many English words that were borrowed from German. In the United States, a kindergarten – which word for word means “child garden” in German – is a preparatory school for children. The German word gesundheit means health, and is often said after people sneeze(打喷嚏). It means you are wishing them good health.

A few words have the same meaning in both languages, but many do not. Being tricked by false friends can lead to funny or unsettling situations.

One such example is the English word “gift”. Many people look forward to giving and receiving gifts while celebrating a holiday or birthday. But in German, the word gift has a much darker meaning. It means poison(毒药). So instead of showing up to a party with poison, German speakers would be pleased to know that you brought a geschenk — the word for gift. If you find yourself going to Germany, you might be surprised to see and hear the term gross in many places. An English meaning of gross is something unpleasant. There is also the English expression “gross me out.” It is used to describe something so unpleasant it may even cause someone to feel physically sick. In German, the word gross is an adjective, just like it is in English. But it means something large. So having a gross ice cream in Germany is not something bad. It can actually be very satisfying.

【1】In the passage, “false friend” refers to ________.

A．the friends who are not kind to you indeed

B．languages which are similar in meanings

C．words look similar but sound different

D．words which have similar look or sound but different meanings

【2】After someone sneezes, you may say ________ to him or her in both the US and Germany.

A．gross me out

B．gesundheit

C．geschenk

D．kindergarten

【3】According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT right?

A．Many English words are from German.

B．Kindergarten is a preparatory school for children in Germany.

C．Being fooled by false friends always makes funny stories.

D．A German friend may not be pleased with a gift called gift at his or her party,

【4】Which of the following sentences about gross is RIGHT?

A．A gross dress is not liked by English people.

B．Having a gross ice cream in Germany is unpleasant.

C．When traveling in Germany, Englishmen are used to hearing the word gross.

D．Describing something with gross will cause Germans to feel physically sick.

【5】This passage will help you when you’re ________.

A．learning to make sentence

B．learning your mother tongue

C．learning a foreign language

D．learning foreign culture

27、Why do people listen to music? The answer may seem simple: making and hearing music is a pleasure. But music touches our lives in many other ways, too.

Music changes our moods (心情)

My brother doesn’t choose music according to what he wants to hear. Instead, he decides what he wants to feel and picks music depending on it. Upbeat (乐观的), bright-sounding music generally makes people feel happy. But some people enjoy listening to sad music. It can be like talking with a friend who understands your sadness. But for some people, sad music can make them feel even sadder.

Music helps us get things done

Do you ever listen to music while you work? I do, and I find that it sometimes helps me concentrate (全神贯注). According to one expert, music can help you pay attention to boring or repeated tasks. But when you are doing tasks that require more thought, music can make them harder.

My mom, a preschool teacher, uses music to manage her class. When she wants to call a child, instead of shouting the child’s name, she sings it. This creates a more active environment, while still getting the child’s attention.

Music brings people together

Music can also bring people closer to each other. This is especially true of music played live (现场直播). Live music often features (以……为特色) a group of people playing different instruments, which makes it a shared experience. Listeners can share the feelings that the song expresses. They also create memories together.

When they hear a certain song, they can be taken back to some points in the past. Therefore music can connect people not only to present people but also to people from their past.

Music is more than just entertainment; it’s a powerful force that influences us in many ways.

【1】Which of the following music will not make you happy?

A．Rabbit Dance.

B．Merry Christmas.

C．Moon Reflected on Second Spring.

【2】What does the underlined word “It” refer to (指的是)?

A．Sad music.

B．Listening to sad music.

C．Listening to upbeat music.

【3】Listening to music is not helpful when ________.

A．you are doing repeated tasks

B．you are doing easy tasks

C．the tasks require more thought

【4】Which of the following is not true?

A．Singing children’s names is impolite.

B．Listening to live music can make listeners share their feelings.

C．Music can make people become closer.

【5】What’s the writer’s attitude to music?

A．doubtful

B．active

C．uncertain
