China is a country well worth visiting. The following tips may make your trip to China
pleasant and satisfactory.
Which cities are preferable for tourists to visit on their first trip to China?
What you see depends on how long you can stay in China. Generally speaking, tourists should
first visit cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Xian.
Beijing is a political and cultural centre that offers great scenic attractions like the
Forbidden City and the Summer Palace. Besides, foods such as Beijing roast duck and instant-
boiled mutton have proved popular with tourists.
Shanghai, a shopping centre for best buys, is the largest city in China. Tourists will be
satisfied with what the city supplies, from various snacks and cakes to handicrafts and textiles.
Neighbouring Suzhou and Hangzhou are considered by Chinese to be “paradise on Earth”.
Xian, the starting point of the ancient Silk Road, was the capital of many dynasties in the
Chinese history. The city is rich in tourism resources such as Great Wild Goose Pagoda and the
Huaqing Hot Springs.
When is the best time for the trip?
China is a vast land with great contrasts in landscape and climate. Consequently, tourists
may pay a visit anytime. Spring and autumn are supposed to be the best times to tour cities like
Beijing, Shanghai and Xian.
If you dislike the cold, you can visit Kunming in south China, which is known for its year-
round spring weather. A closer look takes you to the Stone Forest and the Dianchi Lake. If you
rarely have a chance to see snow, Harbin is a best choice in January and February.
What is well worth purchasing in China?
China has won a worldwide reputation for handicrafts, silk, porcelain and textiles, all more
reasonably priced and of greater variety than elsewhere in the world. Unique local creations are
available in their own cities. If tourists are not able to reach these cities, most of these
products can be purchased in the Friendship stores in big cities.
If you buy antique objects, be sure to get your receipts and an identification seal before
you go through the Chinese customs.
( )21. Where is the passage most likely taken from?

Miren Behaxeteguy, a 47-year-old from Montpellier, France, is one of the 41 million European
adults who suffer from migraine(偏头痛). They can strike several times a week and leave her
unable to work normally. Earlier this year, the pain forced her to take prolonged sick leave from
her job as a social worker.
“I hit a wall and decided I had to manage my pain in a different way,” says Behaxeteguy, a
grandmother. “Im now focused on being comfortable before and during a n episod e.”
As soon as she feels any pain surfacing, she puts on a hat containing ice packs and, on her
neck, a grain-filled heat bag. She applies a variety of other prevention and management
techniques, from relaxation to Pilates.
Regular physical activity can prevent and ease aches and pains in multiple ways. It improves
your general emotional well-being, triggers the release of pain-relieving chemicals, and boosts
blood flow and nutrients to your joints and tissues. “Exercise is important not only because of
the ‘use it or lose it’ principle, but also because it increases confidence in your ability to
do things,” says Wittink.
If youre worried about worsening your pain or putting pressure on your joints, try gentle
walking or low-impact exercises like tai chi or yoga. And if youve had a recent sports injury
or are recovering from a surgery, a physiotherapist can often suggest at-home exercises that will
help you to heal or improve your mobility.
In addition to doing exercises suggested by her physiotherapist and going to Pilates classes,
Behaxeteguy does deep breathing exercises with the help of online videos. “It takes five
minutes, and I can do them anywhere on my phone.”
And, she puts great stock in the healing power of keeping pets. “Walking my dog helps me
exercise and get some air, and my cats purring(呼噜声) is incredibly calming. Thats my
personal prescription!”
( )24. What does the underlined words “an episode” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. A medical treatment. B. A pain attack.
C. An unexpected incident. D. A movie clip.
( )25. Which of the following words can describe Miren Behaxeteguy?
A. Outgoing. B. Confident. C. Thoughtful. D. Optimistic.
( )26. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A. Ways to better ones mental state. B. The principle of “use it or lose it”.
C. The benefits of regular exercise. D. Approaches to handling abrupt pain.
( )27. Why does Miren Behaxeteguy also turn to deep breathing exercises?
A. Because they are convenient. B. Because they are free of charge.
C. Because they are more effective. D. Because they are time-saving.

Back in April, Elon Musk, the worlds richest man, made a dramatic attempt at a hostile
takeover of Twitter, for a cool $44 billion. Thats a lot of money, even for a billionaire
学科网（北京）股份有限公司tycoon(巨头), and the takeover attempt quickly slid into court battles. But whoever wins (were
not going to know for some time), I think the most interesting part of the story is the more
fundamental question: why would Musk even want to buy Twitter in the first place?
If you look at the size of Twitter, its appeal isnt obvious. The company makes a relatively
small profit each year, and in terms of the number of users, Twitter is a relative minnow among
social media networks. It has around 436 million users every month, which isnt nothing—but is
also a long way behind the likes of Facebook (near three billion), Instagram (two billion), and
TikTok (one billion). So why does Musk want to spend a considerable slice of his own enormous
fortune on a social network that not many people, in the grand scheme of things, actually use?
The answer might be what makes Twitter so interesting: what it lacks in revenue, size or
growth potential, it makes up for in a much harder to define way. It carries absolutely enormous
cultural power, and has an unrivalled ability to shape the news we read, the content we consume
and the culture we live in.
( )28. Whats the authors initial reaction to Musks takeover of Twitter?
A. Approving. B. Confused. C. Indifferent. D. Objective.
( )29. How does the author develop Paragraph 2?
A. By giving reasons. B. By answering questions.
C. By making comparisons. D. By showing processes.
( )30. What can be inferred from the last sentence of Paragraph 3?
A. Compared with other social media, Twitter has its own value.
B. Twitter is as interesting and attractive as other social media.
C. Twitter will be even more successful than other social media.
D. Twitters profit will be much easier to measure in the future.
( )31. Why does the author write this passage?
A. To provide some background information about Musk.
B. To explore the motivation for Musks takeover of Twitter.
C. To inform people of Musks sudden takeover of Twitter.
D. To express his concern about the coming court battles.

Spooky(幽灵般的) season is finally upon us! But it looks a little different to how it did 100
years ago...
Halloween has been around for centuries, as a pagan(异教徒的) holiday in ancient Ireland
during which people celebrated and “communicated” with visiting spirits. Initially Halloween
was all about mischief, which may sound harmless, but used to have far more negative
connotations. Before the 1930s, “trick-or-treating” was associated with groups of young men
going door to door to play tricks such as throwing cabbages at houses or stealing garden gates.
Nowadays, trick-or-treaters tend to be children on the hunt for sweets. Going door to door
for treats in Ireland was accompanied by the phrase, “Help the Halloween party”. It was only in
the 1980s that it became standard to hear choruses of “trick or treat”, thanks to the classic
1982 film ET. As with many American cultural imports, not everyone was pleased about this
development—in fact in 2009, The Telegraph ran the headline, “Halloween: Trick, Treat And A
Total Travesty?”.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司In the 20th century, typical treats included candy apples, jelly beans and candy corn. These
days, you are more likely to be met with Haribo Starmix and fun-sized Mars Bars (although if you
are old enough to be reading Readers Digest, you can probably expect to be turned away at the
door should you attempt to go trick-or-treating this year).
The most popular Halloween costumes have also changed in the last hundred years, shifting
from cowboys and witches to Marvel superheroes. This year, after a Halloween night spent braving
horror films and turning away children desperate for free sweets, you can at least sleep easy at
night knowing that things have changed since the 1920s—and youll probably wake up with your
garden gate where you left it!
( )32. What can be learned from Paragraph 2?
A. In ancient Ireland it was a national tradition to celebrate Halloween.
B. At Halloween ancient people could possess the power of visiting spirits.
C. Generally a century ago the mischief at Halloween did no harm to others.
D. At Halloween the mischief once left some people disturbed and annoyed.
( )33. Why did the author mention the headline in The Telegraph?
A. To show the rapid development of the festival.
B. To indicate the growing popularity of the phrase.
C. To prove existing dissatisfaction with Halloween.
D. To discuss the proper behaviour at Halloween.
( )34. What tone does the author conclude the passage with?
A. Humorous. B. Critical. C. Aggressive. D. Serious.
( )35. What might be the title of the passage?
A. The Development of Halloween in America
B. Halloween: An Unsuccessful Cultural Import
C. Fun But Harmless Mischief at Halloween
D. Changes to Halloween in the Past Century

Before you go on your next two-wheeled adventure, make sure youre familiar with the ins and
outs of bicycle safety. This holds true whether youre riding a traditional bike or an e-bike—
one powered by an electric motor in addition to your pedaling.
Many of the safety recommendations are the same for both types of bikes. Wear a helmet. 3 6
Make sure youre visible to motorists (some e-bikes now come with lights). Know how to use your
arm to signal turns (left: extend your left arm out to the side; right: extend your right arm or
bend your left arm up at a right angle). Dont talk on the phone, text, or listen to music. 3 7
Be sure your e-bike is ready to ride. That starts with checking that the tires are inflated
and the brakes are working properly. If the bicycle hasnt been used for a while, take it for a
tune-up before you take it for a ride. 3 8 And before and after every ride, inspect your
bicycle for damage.
3 9 This is also important for e-bike riders. “With the ability to go faster comes the
responsibility to know when you should slow down,” says Ash Lovell, electric bicycle policy
director at People for Bikes, a cyclist advocacy organization.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Know the rules of the road. “When youre riding in the street, even in a protected bike
lane, read the signals, pay attention to the lane markings, and check the signage to see where e-
bikes are allowed,” Lovell says. 4 0 Signs in those states may specify which types of bikes
are allowed on which roads and paths. Check the People for Bikes website (peopleforbikes.org) for
more information.
A. Do not ride on the left.
B. Be aware of your speed.
C. And if youre an e-bike rider, take notice of the following tips.
D. Remember to replace batteries on a regular basis.
E. Ride with the flow of traffic rather than against it.
F. For an e-bike, also make sure your battery is charged.
G. Thirty-six states have adopted a classification system for e-bikes.

Thirty years has passed, I still remember Miss Benson, my second-grade teacher. At that time,
she was in her early 20s and just graduated from a university. She was the kindest, sweetest,
most beautiful creature that ever walked the earth. I could not bear to miss one precious moment
of her presence by leaving the room.
I was among the most hard-working students in the class. My hand was always the first to be
raised when Miss Benson called for volunteers to clean the blackboards or to gather papers and
bring them to her desk. That was the best chore of all. It made possible getting near enough to
her to close out the others in the classroom. I would arrange and rearrange the papers. They had
to be in perfect order before I made my reluctant way back to my seat. It was obvious that all I
学科网（北京）股份有限公司did was to leave a good impression on her. I would always wonder whether I was her favourite
student.
Early in the term, I started asking my mother to put an extra apple or peach in my lunch. I
never quite worked up the courage to say it was for my teacher, as I never quite worked up the
courage to hand my offering to Miss Benson directly. Each day the delicacy found its way
unobserved to the corner of her desk. And each day after Miss Benson came in and sat down, she
would pick up the offering of the day, look around the room and ask, “What thoughtful little boy
or girl brought me this?”
No one claimed the honour, least of all me. I kept my head down, looking at my desk.
“Can it be that I have a secret admirer?” She would then add.
Thinking everyone was looking at me, I would feel the red rising in my face. When Miss Benson
put the fruit away and started the lesson, I would at last sigh with relief.
One fall morning, the class got very excited. Someone had discovered the next day, Friday,
was Miss Bensons birthday. Everyone wanted to get her a present. My heart gave a leap, for
after about one month I could give her something openly. After school, I combed the field for
wild flowers. Not many were in bloom at that time of year, but luckily I came upon a patch of
pretty red leaves.
Paragraph 1:
In the morning I hung back as others presented their gifts.
Paragraph 2:
The next Monday, however, we were told Miss Benson was in hospital probably because she
touched some red leaves.
