二、完形填空(每题 1 分，共 10分。)
Do you know that thereare twelveChinesezodiacsigns, each one represented by
an animal? Each one of the twelve animals has their own characteristics and attributes,
and each year is represented by a 36 animal.For example, 1990 was the year of the
Horse, 37 2010was theyear of theTiger.
In Chinese culture, some people believe that a person's success, personality and
marriage are based on the animal of the year in which they were born.However, the
origin of the zodiac signs is based on a legend. Long ago, the Jade Emperor wanted to38 twelve animals to be his guards. So, all animals on Earth were ordered to take part
in a 39 race. The first twelve animals to swim across the fast river would be the
winners of the race, and therefore would have a year of the zodiac specially given to
40.
The Rat came first because he jumped on the back of the Ox to cross the river,
and then suddenly jumped down from theOx and ran to the Emperor's feet to win first
place.As Tiger and Rabbit are both fast and competitive, they both raced to the finish
line, with Tiger being faster. Dragons are naturally eye-catching, so the Emperor
immediately noticed it and said his son couldbefifth.
Immediately after, Snake said Dragon was his adopted father, so he came 41 .
Then, as Horse and Goat were both 42 and kind to one another, they let each other go
first, so they came seventh and eighth.
The ninth animal to finish the race was Monkey, as he jumped between trees and
stones to catch up with the other animals after falling behind. Finally, the last three
animals to finish the race were the Rooster, Dog and Pig.Some people wonder 43 the
cat isn't one of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals, and many people believe that the
Cat joined the Rat in jumping on the Ox's back to cross the river, but the Rat pushed it
into the water, so it was washed away and didn't 44 the Emperor in time to get a
ranking.
No wonder cats and rats are always 45 in our daily lives.The story is well-known
in Chinese culture, and although it's made up, it's definitely interesting to learn about
and tell your friends and family about!
()36.A.clever B. similar C. different D. Strong

As we walk the "path of life", we may sometimes wish to be alone with our own
thoughts, for quiet moments of reflection (反省) can lead to personal improvement.
However, when we want to be alone, we must be careful that we do not always jump
intoour own world. Social lifeis also important to all ofus.
As we live in social groups, there are many benefits of friendship that we can
enjoy. Generally speaking, close friendships have three "fruits": they may comfort the
heart, advisethehead and help us achieve thegoals we set for ourselves.Through friendship, we can become happier, wiser and more satisfied
humans.The first fruit of friendship is the peace that comes from sharing with friends
ourjoy,sadness, success and failure.
Here, friendship has a double advantage—happiness takes on a greater meaning
and a trouble shared becomes a trouble halved! Naturally, this kind of openness
results from a close friendship. We know that our friends will both respect our
feelings and treasure these moments of closeness.The second fruit of friendship is the
better understanding and judgement ( 评 判 ) that may be achieved through
conversations with well-meaning and wise friends.Weoften find it easier to recognize
other people's weaknesses than our own.As a result, ifwe are guided only by ourown
feelings, our judgements might be one-sided. On the other hand, our friends are better
able to offer advice on important decisions that we all have to make. This helps make
our thoughts clearer and brings us a more thorough (彻底的) understanding of our
problems.
The third fruit of friendship is the help that a friend may offer in many different
ways. Sometimes a friend is even known as our "second self". There are so many
things in life that can only be achieved with the help of friends. Friends may have
many different ideas and skills.Finally, it should be pointed out that enjoying the
company of acrowd is notthesame as being withfriends.
Friends should be carefully chosen and relationships carefully developed. In this
way, we can better walk the "path of life" with the comfort, advice and help from our
trusted friends.
( ) 48. According to the passage, close friendships have a lot of "fruits" EXCEPT
______.
A. making ourhearts peaceful
B. achieving ourgoals withfriends' help
C. guiding ourown feelings easily
D. understanding ourproblems better
( ) 49. We can achieve better understanding by talking with wise friends because
______.
A. itis more difficult torealizeother people's weaknesses than ourselves
B. ourjudgements won't beone-sided ifwe are guided only byourfeelings
C. ourfriends are ableto offerbetter advice onourimportant decisions

Yangzhou Jade Carving, a shining gem among Chinese traditional handicrafts,
has a history stretching back over 2,500 years. Legend has it that during the Spring
and Autumn Period, local craftsmen began to carve jade into simple decorations,
marking the birth of this art form. Located in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, the city's
rich cultural heritage and access to high-quality jade materials contributed to the
growth of this unique craft.The process begins with carefully selecting the right jade,
considering its color,texture, and shape.
After that, carvers spend days or even weeks planning the design, sketching
patterns on the jade surface. Then comes the most challenging part — carving. They
carve detailed patterns, such as blooming flowers, flying birds, scenes from classic
Chinese novels, and ancient historical stories. Every line and curve is carved with
great care to showtheharmony between nature and people.
Throughout history, Yangzhou Jade Carving has developed different styles in
various periods. In the Tang Dynasty, influenced by foreign cultures, the carvings
became more various in themes. During the Qing Dynasty, it reached its peak, with
large-scalejadesculptures for theroyal family.
These artworks not only reflect the high-level carving skills but also record the
social and cultural features of different times.Today, Yangzhou Jade Carving faces
new challenges. The complex and time-consuming process discourages many youngpeople from learning this traditional skill. ______ They offer jade-carving courses,
invite master carvers to teach students, and even organize international exhibitions to
promote this art. They believe that by combining traditional techniques with modern
designs, they can attract more people's attention and keep this amazing art alive for
future generations.If you visitYangzhou, don't miss the chance to see these wonderful
jade artworks at the local museums or workshops. Each piece tells a story, and they

traditional craftsmanship.

Having a teenager at home can be a real headache. Many teenagers smoke, wear
strange hairstyles and even fight. Basically, they are often taking risks.Earlier studies
have shown that teenagers are more likely to make irrational decisions than people
from any other age group, including children and adults. Is it that teenagers are too
young totell right from wrong?Not really. So what's the reason?According to Laurence, a teacher from a US
university, the reason is that teenagers care a lot about how their peers (同龄人) view
them—that is "peer influence".As children enter their teenage years, they spend more
time with their friends and classmates, and also they care more about what they think
ofthem.
This makes teenagers make decisions without thinking about the costs.In a test, a
group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game. When they played with
their friends watching around them, they took more chances and drove more
carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning. But when they
played alone, they drove moresafely.
Why do peers have such a big influence on teens' behavior?As Laurence sees it,
a teenager's brain is like acar with a good accelerator (油门) but aweak brake (刹车).
The "accelerator" is fully developed by teenage years while the "brake" is still not
fully developed. When teenagers are watched by their peers, they usually push hard
on the accelerator. With their weak brake, it is likely that they are going to end up in
an accident.But the good news is that a violent (暴力的) teenager doesn't necessarily
become a violent adult. About two-thirds to three-quarters of violent youth grow out
ofit. "They get moreself-controlled."
()56.What does theunderlined word "irrational" in the2ndparagraph mean?
A. Quick.B. Crazy.C. Careful.D. Correct.
()57.Why are teenagers often taking risks according to thetext?
A. They likedifficulttasks.
B. They careabout costs.
C. They are too young to tellright from wrong.
D. They care alot about what their peers thinkofthem.
()58.How does Laurence explaintheinfluence ofpeer influence onteens' behavior?
A. By usinga metaphor(比喻).
B. Bygiving examples.
C. Bypresenting research findings.
D. By performingan in-depth analysis (分析).
( ) 59. According to the text, with peers around them, teenagers tend to (倾向于)
______.
A. usemore self-control
B. focus moreonshort-term benefitsC. perform better thanwhen they are alone
D. become morecareful about what they do
()60.What can we learn from thetext?

B. Teenagers are easy tohave trafficaccidents.
C. Mostoftheteenagers become less violent when they grow up.
