A
Although beautiful New Year’s fireworks light up skies around the world, there are also
many unusual but wonderful ways people across the world observe the New Year.
Round everything (Philippines)
Filipino culture celebrates the New Year by serving twelve different fruits. Apples, melons,
oranges, and grapes are popular picks, but any round fruit will do. The round produce stands for
wealth for each month of the upcoming year. Locals also wear clothes with polka dots (圆点图案)
on them and fill their pockets with round coins.
Throwing paper out the window (Argentina)
The pieces of coloured paper will fly through the streets of Buenos Aires around lunchtime
on December 31. The reason behind the custom is that Argentines throw out all their old
documents and papers before the curtain falls on the year to show they’re leaving the past behind.
It’s hardly the most dangerous thing flying out of windows around the world on New Year’s,
though — many other Latin American countries are fond of throwing buckets of water, whileSouth Africans throw out their old tables, chairs, etc. onto the street from great heights.
Breaking plates into pieces (Denmark)
If you want to make a new Danish friend for the New Year, throw a plate against their door.
The tradition is meant to bring the house owner good luck for the year ahead. Danes also jump off
chairs to leap into the New Year, and stay glued to their TVs for Queen Margrethe’s yearly speech
and a screening of black-and-white English language comedy Dinner for One (known in
Denmark as The 90th Birthday), which is also popular in Germany.
Eating grapes fast (Spain)
In Spain, with 12 seconds remaining until the New Year, people eat 12 green grapes to bring
good luck in the coming year. It’s considered to be bad luck if you can’t eat them all by the final
midnight chime (钟声). Eat them down in time and 12 months of good luck will come your way.
21．How do people in Philippines celebrate the New Year?
A．By wearing new clothes on the eve.
B．By picking up twelve different kinds of fruits.
C．By wishing for wealth in the upcoming year.
D．By getting close to something round.
22．Why do Argentines throw out their old documents and papers on December 31?
A．Because it is not the most dangerous custom.
B．Because the curtain will fall on the new year.
C．To leave the past year and welcome the new year.
D．To bring the house owner good luck for the year ahead.
23．Which of the following is NOT a New Year tradition in Denmark?
A．Eating 12 green grapes.
B．Jumping off a chair.
C．Listening to the Queen’s New Year speech.
D．Throwing a plate against a new friend’s door.
B
When working as a foreign teacher in China, I taught English to my students and they
taught me about China. One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”. I was shocked to learn
that no one of my students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them.
“Does your mom love you?” “Of course,” they answered.
“How do you know?” was my logical question. They answered that their moms cooked and
always told them what they were doing wrong to show their concern. I was surprised. “So Mom’s
cooking and criticizing read out as ‘I love you’? Then how do you say ‘I love you’ to her?” They
agreed that getting good grades and finding good jobs would be how they showed their love.
I come from a country where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these
questions in classes over time. Gradually, I began to get different responses. Some of them had
exchanged those feelings with their moms.
One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from
university, her mother met her at the door and hugged (拥抱) her. This had never happened
before, but her mom said, “Now that you have gone, I have more time to myself. I noticed that in
some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I
would begin hugging you.”
In my family we all say “I love you” a lot. While it is true that we often say the wordswithout having great depth (深刻) of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing (祝福)
we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning, even when said as a
greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.
24．Why was the foreign teacher shocked?
A．Because the students’ moms don’t love them at all.
B．Because all of the students don’t say “I love you” to their moms.
C．Because her students don’t know the meaning of “I love you”.
D．Because neither her students nor their moms say “I love you” to each other.
25．Chinese people prefer to show love by ________.
A．buying gifts B．doing something meaningful
C．saying “I love you” D．hugging each other
26．In Paragraph 4, what’s the real meaning of the mom’s hugging?
A．She is meeting her daughter at the door.
B．She loves her daughter and misses her.
C．She finds it interesting to hug her daughter.
D．She is glad that she has more time to herself.
27．What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Say “I love you” a lot to Chinese people.
B．Say “I love you” as a greeting to others.
C．Say “I love you” more to your family.
D．Say “I love you” without great depth of feelings.
C
In a world featuring endless choices, the search for simplicity has become more than just a
desire—it’s a necessity. The book Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No explores the
philosophy of simplicity and decision-making. Written by Bruce Mullen, this book goes beyond
self-help clichés (陈词滥调) and offers a genuine, actionable approach to guiding life’s choices.
The book recognizes decision-making as the centre of human existence and invites readers to
admit each decision carries a weight. “Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No” sums up a sign
if can’t rule — a definite “Yes” and a clear “No.” It encourages readers to focus on the “Yes” and
stop readers from putting their effort into uncertain things. Another rule stressed in the book is
simplicity in decision-making. By adopting simplicity, decision-makers aim to get the key
information, focus on the most related factors, and avoid unnecessary aspects, enabling quicker
judgments and swifter conclusions.
The book is a practical guide to strengthen decision-making skills. The author doesn’t
merely express the philosophy but equips readers with the tools they need to apply effectively.
From techniques to give preference to tasks to methods for avoiding distractions (分心), the book
offers skills for simplifying the decision-making process.
Through personal experiences, Mullen determined the power of simplification, guiding
people to make decisions according to one’s own values and desires. Beyond individual context,
this book also influences business strategies, relationship dynamics, and social considerations.
Mullen not only explores the essence of “yes means yes” but stresses the significance of making
clear decisions at a crossroads.
“Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No” is more than a book; it’s a philosophy that can
change how we approach decisions. For those seeking to guide life with clarity and purpose, thisbook is a guiding light in the fog of in decision.
28. What are the readers encouraged to do according to paragraph 2?
A. Concentrate on related things. B. Sum up a simple judgement.
C. Solve uncertain matters. D. Make decisions independently.
29. Why is the book a practical guide to readers?
A. To equip readers with decision-making skills.
B. To help readers express their philosophy.
C. To improve readers’ critical thinking ways.
D. To provide readers with life techniques.
30. What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about?
A. Application of simplicity. B. Rules of making decisions.
C. Impacts of decision-making. D. Benefits of stressing simplicity.
31. What is the article aimed at?
A. Sharing an approach of decision-making. B. Recommending a book.
C. Describing a simple lifestyle. D. Solving philosophical problems.

A red bus took visitors along the streets of New York City’s Roosevelt Island. But this
wasn’t a typical sightseeing tour. Passengers all wore virtual reality headsets (虚拟现实头戴设备)
for an eye-opening experience. This experience was designed to engage (使参与) visitors in
creative ways through a new system called CXR. Passengers were transported into a place where
virtual and real environments met. There they experienced nine shocking scenes showing the
influence of climate change, especially rising floodwaters.
Scientific models suggest that a 100-year flood could cover most of Roosevelt Island.
Despite the warning, research shows that such a disaster doesn’t feel real to many in the public.
This discrepancy is exactly what the CXR system aims to deal with.
The technology helps people understand serious challenges like climate change. The
participants can experience a shared reality while traveling through their environment. And the
CXR system proved to do more than just educate people about disaster risks.
After seeing the most serious flooding events, participants reported strong emotional
responses. Many expressed increased concern about climate change and a desire to do something.
One participant was even moved to tears upon seeing a flood reach the steps of her school. “These
types of reactions were not surprising,” said Wendy Ju, whose research group created CXR. “We
did find that people got worried, but we also noted that the worry seemed to inspire people to take
measures. It’s a good result from our viewpoint.”
The CXR system has many possible applications beyond its original plan. It can play an
important role in city planning by engaging communities in discussions about new developments.
By providing a clear and realistic presentation of suggested changes, it helps to reduce
misunderstandings. This encourages people to actively express their opinions about approaches to
future planning. “Immersive (沉浸式的) technologies can bring future challenges into focus,” Ju
said. “They are important for building the social will to prepare for what lies ahead.”
32．What is the original function of the CXR system?
A．To encourage public transportation use. B．To increase the enjoyment of tours.
C．To teach flood prevention measures. D．To raise awareness of climate issues.
33．What does the underlined word “discrepancy” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Goal. B．Request. C．Difference. D．Method.
34．Which can best describe the experience with the CXR system?
A．Adventurous and joyful. B．Educational and inspiring.
C．Confusing and stressful. D．Realistic and relaxing.
35．How can the CXR system generally benefit city planning?
A．By driving cooperative problem-solving. B．By stressing the need for green spaces.
C．By focusing on short-term solutions. D．By reducing overall planning costs.

back off ? 3 6

It was summer. My dad finally decided to take me on a special trip to Inner Mongolia that
day, which made me excited.
We took a plane to Hohhot, the provincial capital of Inner Mongolia. The moment we got off
the plane in the late afternoon, we saw Uncle Zhang, a farmer whose house we had booked,
welcoming us over there. He picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm.
His wife, Aunt Liu cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his family. My dad and I
spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the birds singing in the grasslands.
Very early in the morning, Uncle Zhang woke us up to have breakfast. “The day starts at dawn on
my farm,” he said. After breakfast, my dad began to ride horses with Uncle Zhang.
In the afternoon, Uncle Zhang wondered if I would take a horse ride. I said I would if my dadaccompanied me. So, my dad and I got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the distance.
Soon after, Uncle Zhang’s farm was out of sight behind.
After a long period, we stopped our horses, and began to enjoy the beautiful green grassland
ahead. The cool wind was slightly blowing our face. Once in a while we could still hear some
birds sing in the woods nearby. It was so peaceful and quiet. I had never been so relaxed before.
