25、Alice was a student in a secondary school. The school was on the other side of the street from my house. Every day. I watched her play basketball after school from my house. She played very well, much better than any other of her classmates. And she never stopped. She practised over and over again, sometimes until it was very dark.

One day, I asked her, “why do you practise so hard? You are playing very well.”

“That's because I want to play in the city basketball team,” she looked at me and said proudly. “But I'm still not good enough. I must work hard.” I was moved by her great courage.

Another day, I saw her crying on the grass, instead of playing basketball. I walked across the street and sat down by her side.

“Why are you crying, girl?” I asked.

“The coach of the city basketball team told me that I couldn't go on playing basketball because I was too short.”

But some days later, I saw her playing basketball again, practising even harder than before. I was curious(好奇的) and asked her the reason. “My father told me if my dream is big enough, nothing can stop me.” I was moved again.

26、“Made in China” is having its moment now and it’s a fashionable one.

The story of Chinese fashion began in 2011 when Feiyue and Huili, both Chinese sports shoe brands, suddenly got international attention. Their products were seen all over the world. Chinese sportswear brand Li-Ning was at the New York Fashion Week in September, 2018. They showed their new designs—sweaters and jackets with Chinese characters.

Shaun Rein, managing director of China Market Research Group, said that the latest Chinese brands no longer catch customers’ eye by low price. He told CNN, “They are sure that they can go head to head with foreign brands.”

Maybe it is because China’s young people are now more confident about their own culture. They don’t show immediate interest in Western culture any more.

“Today’s young people in China are crazy about Chinese cultural elements（元素）.” Jin Qu, the manager of a clothing shopping website, said at a cultural festival in 2018. “They like these elements printed on their clothes, even the brand picture of Laoganma in China, which was once seen as outside of fashion. But now young people take pride in these Chinese symbols.”

In fact, many stars in the West take an interest in Chinese cultural elements in fashion now. Rihanna, a US singer, for example, wore a Chinese red dress to the 2015 Met Gala in New York. The dress was designed and made by Chinese designer Guo Pei.

“We have to move from making to creating.” Chinese-American designer Aric Chen once told The New York Times. “We want to replace the words ‘Made in China’ with ‘Designed in China’.”

【1】The new designs of Li Ning Company in September, 2018 were _________.

A．coats and scarves in Chinese red

B．sweaters and jackets with English words

C．coats and scarves with American symbols

D．sweaters and jackets with Chinese characters

【2】The underlined word “They” in paragraph 5 refers to _________.

A．some famous stars in the West

B．the workers in Jin Qu’s shop

C．today’s young people in China

D．directors of some Chinese companies

【3】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “replace”?

A．放置

B．代替

C．翻译

D．创作

【4】The passage above may be taken from a(n) __________.

A．newspaper

B．guidebook

C．novel

D．ad

【5】What can be the best title for the passage?

A．Chinese Clothes Brands

B．Sports in China

C．Chinese Cultural Festival

D．Designed in China

27、   Many of us have feelings of loneliness as we grow up. As a teenager, just eating alone in the dining hall can’t be acceptable, and girls even go to the restrooms hand in hand. They fear being called a “loner”.

In these cases, we might use the word “loner” in a disapproving (不赞成的) way. However, it can actually have a positive meaning as well.

It all depends on our attitude toward being alone. If we see being alone as something not very good, we will be against it. But if we understand that it’s an everyday part of life, we’ll be able to “hug the beauty of our solo (单独的) journey”, as best-selling US writer Mandy Hale wrote in her book The Single Woman.

In some countries, more young people are choosing to be loners. In South Korea, “honjok” has become a growing lifestyle. The word comes from Korean “hon” (alone) and “jok” (group).These people eat alone, travel alone, and enjoy being by themselves. “I hope it grows into a self-supporting culture of happiness.” said Jang Jae Young, a South Korean who runs a website about this solo lifestyle called www.honjok.me.

In Japan, people have developed a strong “loner culture” and even a “loner economy (经济).” There are many solo KTVs and solo coffee bars. Noodle restaurants for solo customers are especially popular. There are boards which separate each seat. Customers fill out a form to make an order, and then press a button to call the waiter. They don’t see the faces of other customers or waiters.

People are becoming more experienced in and comfortable about being alone. This doesn’t mean we should totally keep ourselves away from the outside world, of course. But it doesn’t hurt to have some “me time” once in a while.

【1】From the passage we know that “honjok” ________.

A.means a group of loners B.is a culture which brings people closer

C.is a website run by a Korean D.will be a popular lifestyle in North Korea

【2】The underlined word “separate” in Para. 5 means “________”.

A.合并 B.隔开 C.监控 D.固定

【3】If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best?

(①=Para.1 ②=Para.2 ③=Para.3 ④=Para. 4 ⑤=Para.5 ⑥=Para.6)

A.①; ②③; ④⑤⑥ B.①; ②③④; ⑤⑥

C.①②; ③④⑤; ⑥ D.①②③; ④⑤; ⑥

【4】The best title of this passage is ________.

A.Ways to Deal with Aloneness B.A Tradition of Aloneness in Asian Countries

C.Aloneness—A Common Lifestyle D.Advantages and Disadvantages of Aloneness

28、Dear Dick,

How time flies! I have been back to school for two weeks. These days, I have 【1】 a lot about the population in China.

China has a population of 1.3 billion. It has reached about one 【2】 of the world’s population. About 80 percent of the people live in the 【3】 [ˈkʌntrisaɪd]. It causes many problems. In less【4】 (develop) areas, some parents prefer boys to girls. Not all the families can offer their children a good 【5】. Some children can’t go to school.

China has taken measures to 【6】 the population. China’s economy grows much 【7】 and its living conditions have changed a lot. Most of us have lived in bright and tall buildings. We have had ring roads and they are wide 【8】 [iˈnʌf]. We have had more 【9】 (comfort) life. However, the population problem is still 【10】 in China.

How about the population of your country? Can you tell me about it?
