72 hours in Beijing
Traveling to China is no longer a luxury for many foreign passport holders.

Here’s the pick of the best in Beijing.
Mutianyu Great Wall
Your trip to Beijing isn’t really complete without seeing one of the “New Seven Wonders of the World”-the Great Wall of China. The Mutianyu section of the Great Wall is by far the most well-preserved of all. Taking a one-hour bus ride, Mutianyu would be your ideal location for a half-day of hiking away from the large crowds in the city. Also, the authorities have allowed tourists to paint graffiti on a specific section of the Great Wall since 2014. The Great Wall was designated (把……定名为) a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987.
Summer Palace
Located in northwestern Beijing, the Summer Palace is by far the city’s most well- preserved royal park. With its huge lake and hilltop views, the palace offers you a pastoral escape into the landscape of traditional Chinese paintings. The Summer Palace was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1998.
798 Art Zone
This would be on the top of my list! Named after the 798 factory that was built in the 1950s, the art zone is home to various galleries, design studios, art exhibition spaces, fashionable shops and bars. You could easily spend half your day wandering around the complex, feeling the contrast of the present and the past.
Sichuan Provincial Restaurant
While in Beijing, apart from trying the city’s best-known Peking duck, the Sichuan provincial restaurant is one of places where you can enjoy regional delicious food. It offers one of China’s eight great cuisines, Sichuan cuisine, which ranges from Mapo tofu to spicy chicken.

The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day in primary school. Small for my age, and more of a book-lover than a sports-lover, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual (个体的) skills, however, was different. In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch. When fall came, our backyard football games began with passing practice.
Once I got to seventh grade and went to middle school, our entire student body was assigned to either the Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games, speeding up my competitive fever. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. And at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did. As I attended college, my roommate and I even took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare money to use to join a gym.
So, though, it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation (基础) developed in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered necessary even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds.
24. What does the underlined word “humiliation” mean in paragraph 1
A. Shame. B. Regret. C. Glory. D. Responsibility.
25. In the author’s view, what led to her victory in the Softball Throw event
A. Her confidence in her sports skills. B. The sports talent from her father.
C. Her advanced sports gloves and hats. D. The training offered by her father.
26. What happened after the author stepped into adulthood
A. She continued her passion for sports. B. She preferred reading to working out.
C. She regularly exercised on weekends. D. She joined Royal Canadian Air Force.
27. What is the author’s purpose of writing the article
A. To show her father’s guidance on sports. B. To express her love for sports and fitness.
C. To stress the benefits of physical exercise. D. To share her childhood memories about sports.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. A 27. B

The saying “good medicine tastes bitter” may no longer hold in the country where it was born and believed. Xi Linjie, a 20-year-old college student, sought help for fatigue (疲劳) at a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) hospital in Chongqing and was pleasantly surprised by a cup of sweet milk tea. “TCM ingredients such as tapioca (木薯粉) and dried tangerine peel (陈皮) are added to the milk tea, yet it tastes delightful. It’s less sweet than regular milk tea and has a subtle herbal fragrance,” she says. “Most importantly, it’s beneficial to health.”
Since 2023, the hospital has blended TCM processing techniques with contemporary food production to attract a younger generation. “Milk tea is a favorite among young people. We hope it can act as a bridge for them to gain more knowledge about TCM and gradually accept it,” says Liao Changying, director of the hospital’s nutrition department.
“The TCM milk tea represents the integration of TCM, modern medicine, nutrition and more. Our goal is to help people prevent and manage diseases while enjoying delicious food and drinks,” Liao explains. Besides, the TCM milk tea shows how traditional medicine is appealing to the younger generation in an approachable manner. Nowadays, one doesn’t even need to visit a hospital to experience TCM in China.
In Chongqing’s Wansheng economic development zone, a TCM night market is held every weekend. “At these diverse stalls, we can enjoy free diagnoses and acupuncture and purchase TCM sachets (香囊) and drinks,” says Yang Jian, a 24-year-old resident. “I never realized TCM could be so close to our daily lives.”
Doctor Wang Huiwu, who attended the night market, is pleased to see many young visitors seeking professional health advice on physical conditioning, which indicates that the younger generation has confidence in TCM. He also suggested that more efforts should be made to integrate TCM with other fields that interest young people, adding, “TCM is becoming a new trend among the youth”.

A. The personal experience of a college student with TCM.
B. The introduction of a new TCM product.

D. The health benefits of sweet milk tea with TCM ingredients.

Have you ever been in mid-conversation with someone, when you look over and find them standing in the same position as you or holding the same facial expression It may seem like they have consciously copied you, but it is much more likely that it is the chameleon (变色龙) effect at play.
The chameleon effect is the unconscious imitation of another person’s gestures or behavior. Just as a chameleon attempts to match any environment’s colors, people acquire the behavior of others to bring them closer together and help make their interactions smooth.
The chameleon effect was confirmed in an experiment by psychologists John Bargh and Tanya Chartrand in 1999. The part of their experiment included 78 people, who each spoke with an experimenter. During the test, Bargh and Chartrand studied whether participants would copy the actions of someone they hadn’t met before, like moving the foot and touching the face. The second part measured the impact that copying someone has on the person being imitated.
In the first stage, participants increased their face touching by 20% and their foot movement by 50% while in conversation about a photograph with the experimenter. The individuals weren’t aware of what they were being studied for, and the photograph was used to catch their attention to insure unconscious acts. The second stage involved half of the participants being copied, and then rating the likability of the experimenter. The results, showed that those who were imitated scored the experimenter higher. It has shown that when someone copies our behavior, we develop more positive feelings about them. These interactions could be a person unconsciously willing to be liked, and forming a moment of connection.
The main reasons behind humans’ imitation are positive. However, when people carry this chameleon effect to the extreme, they can lose their sense of self. Those who change their entire personalities in different groups often go undetected. But more common signs of the chameleon effect are easier to notice. Next time you are in a social gathering, take a look around and you might just see some chameleons for yourself.
32. Why do people imitate others’ behavior
A. To show admiration for others. B. To adapt to the surroundings.
C. To establish a connection with others. D. To attract others’ attention.
33. How did the experimenter guarantee participants’ unconscious behaviors
A. By directing their attention to a photo. B. By keeping an eye on their actions.
C. By telling them the purpose of the study. D. By evaluating the impacts of imitation.
34. What conclusion can be drawn from the experiment
A. People tend to like those who imitate their behavior.
B. Too much of the chameleon effect can be beneficial.
C. People imitating others are not easy to be detected.
D. The copied movements help people to feel relaxed.
35. Which of the following shows the chameleon effect according to the passage
A. Students adopt teachers’ accents for fun after class.
B. People change their habits to please others on purpose.
C. A comedian copies a celebrity vividly on stage.
D. A husband and his wife share similar behaviors over time.
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. A 35. D

【导语】这是一篇记叙文，讲述了张桂梅致力于中国西南偏远地区的女子教育的感人事迹。
【56题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：张桂梅在中国西南边境为教育事业奉献了40年，她是170多名儿童的“母亲”，也是一名激励山区贫困家庭年轻女孩的校长。分析句子结构可知，本句是who引导的非限制性定语从句，be动词作主句谓语，描述客观状态，用一般现在时，主语是Zhang Guimei为第三人称单数。故填is。
【57题详解】
考查形容词。句意：张桂梅在中国西南边境为教育事业奉献了40年，她是170多名儿童的“母亲”，也是一名激励山区贫困家庭年轻女孩的校长。空后是名词，所以空处应填形容词作定语，mountain的形容词形式是mountainous意为“多山的”。故填mountainous。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意：在华平县的一所中学教书时，她看到许多女孩因贫困而辍学。此处是固定搭配：drop out意为“辍学”。故填out。
【59题详解】
考查名词。句意：这让她非常伤心，也让她意识到，一个受过教育的女性可以切断贫困的代际传递，改变三代人的未来。空前是形容词，所以空处应填名词作宾语，transmit的名词形式是transmission。故填transmission。

【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这所学校是为消除贫困而设立的，是该地区一些女孩的庇护所。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词is，所以bear用非谓语形式，和逻辑主语school之间是被动关系，用过去分词表被动。故填born或者borne。

1. 说明演讲的时间及地点；
2. 陈述选择该话题的原因。
注意：

Dear Sherlock,
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
【答案】Dear Sherlock,
As the chairman of Student Union, I am, with heartfelt sincerity, writing to invite you to deliver a speech concerning daily exercise.
The speech is scheduled at 5:00 p. m. this Friday in the stadium. The reason why we choose this theme is, initially, students’ insufficient awareness of exercise in daily life. Burdened with loads of schoolwork, seldom do students spare time for doing exercise. Additionally, taking into account the national appealing to cultivate all-round students, practicing exercise enables us to be qualified graduates.
Your accepting the invitation would be highly appreciated, and you, a sport enthusiast, can undoubtedly juice the speech up and make it reach a wider audience.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节 （满分25分）
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Emily Harper sat at her desk, staring blankly at the math problems in front of her. Numbers and variables danced confusingly across the page, laughing at her every effort. At school, Emily was known for her artistic talents, but math had always been her weakness, No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t make sense of it.
Her struggles only worsened in the 10th grade. The pressure to keep up with her classmates grew, and the poor grades shook her confidence. Her parents decided to step in. “We need to find you some help,” her mother gently suggested one evening.
Then came Mr. Jenkins, a retired local teacher known for his unique teaching style. Emily was initially resistant; the idea of spending extra hours on a subject she hated seemed like a punishment. But - she unwillingly agreed, knowing something had to change.
Their first session was tense. Mr. Jenkins, sensing her frustration, didn’t dive straight into problems. Instead, he asked about her interests. When Emily spoke passionately about her painting, he smiled. “Math is like art, Emily. It has patterns and beauty if you know where to look.”
Doubtful but inspired, Emily listened as he began to explain concepts through visual examples. He used colors and shapes, turning abstract numbers into something almost tangible (有形的). For the first time, math seemed less like a foreign language and more like a puzzle waiting to be solved.
However, progress was slow. Weeks passed with, minimal improvement, and Emily’s patience wore thin. A particularly difficult quiz left her in tears, convinced she was sure to fail. Mr. Jenkins said, “Remember, Emily, every artist starts with a blank canvas. Masterpieces aren’t created overnight.”
Encouraged by his firm belief, Emily pushed on. She began to see the connections between the steps, how each solution followed a logical path. Small victories in practice problems gave her some hope. Mr. Jenkins was always there, celebrating her successes, no matter how minor.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Gradually, Emily’s confidence grew with Mr. Jenkins’ help.

Emily’s heart raced when the results day arrived.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Gradually, Emily’s confidence grew with Mr. Jenkins’ help. She found herself approaching math problems with a newfound curiosity instead of anxiety. The once confusing numbers and symbols began to become patterns she could understand. Mr. Jenkins continued to teach her in his unique way. Emily started to enjoy the challenge, and her once hesitant hand now moved steadily across the paper. The joy she felt when a solution clicked into place was something she had never expected to experience with math.
Emily’s heart raced when the results day arrived. She sat in the classroom, her hands trembling slightly as she received her test paper. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she saw the grade – a solid A. Tears of relief and happiness welled up in her eyes. She looked up at Mr. Jenkins, who stood at the back of the classroom, watching her with a proud smile. In that moment, Emily knew that she had not only conquered her fear of math but also discovered the power of perseverance.
【解析】

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
72 hours in Beijing
Traveling to China is no longer a luxury for many foreign passport holders. The Chinese government has permitted a 72-hour visa-free policy that offers access to visitors from 53 countries including the US, France and Austria. Let’s start with the capital of China, Beijing. Here’s the pick of the best in Beijing.
Mutianyu Great Wall
Your trip to Beijing isn’t really complete without seeing one of the “New Seven Wonders of the World”-the Great Wall of China. The Mutianyu section of the Great Wall is by far the most well-preserved of all. Taking a one-hour bus ride, Mutianyu would be your ideal location for a half-day of hiking away from the large crowds in the city. Also, the authorities have allowed tourists to paint graffiti on a specific section of the Great Wall since 2014. The Great Wall was designated (把……定名为) a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987.
Summer Palace
Located in northwestern Beijing, the Summer Palace is by far the city’s most well- preserved royal park. With its huge lake and hilltop views, the palace offers you a pastoral escape into the landscape of traditional Chinese paintings. The Summer Palace was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1998.
798 Art Zone
This would be on the top of my list! Named after the 798 factory that was built in the 1950s, the art zone is home to various galleries, design studios, art exhibition spaces, fashionable shops and bars. You could easily spend half your day wandering around the complex, feeling the contrast of the present and the past.
Sichuan Provincial Restaurant
While in Beijing, apart from trying the city’s best-known Peking duck, the Sichuan provincial restaurant is one of places where you can enjoy regional delicious food. It offers one of China’s eight great cuisines, Sichuan cuisine, which ranges from Mapo tofu to spicy chicken.
21. When was the Summer Palace added to the UNESCO World Heritage List
A. In 1950. B. In 1987. C. In 1998. D. In 2014.
22. Which place is the author’s first choice when visiting Beijing
A. Mutianyu Great Wall. B. 798 Art Zone.
C. The Summer Palace. D. The Sichuan Provincial Restaurant.
23. Who is the passage intended for
A. The foreigners to stay in Beijing for 3 days.
B. The tourists who prefer to travel for free.
C. The visitors coming from every corner of China.
D. The foreigners coming to Beijing for the first time.
B
The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day in primary school. Small for my age, and more of a book-lover than a sports-lover, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual (个体的) skills, however, was different. In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch. When fall came, our backyard football games began with passing practice.
Once I got to seventh grade and went to middle school, our entire student body was assigned to either the Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games, speeding up my competitive fever. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. And at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did. As I attended college, my roommate and I even took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare money to use to join a gym.
So, though, it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation (基础) developed in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered necessary even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds.
24. What does the underlined word “humiliation” mean in paragraph 1
A. Shame. B. Regret. C. Glory. D. Responsibility.
25. In the author’s view, what led to her victory in the Softball Throw event
A. Her confidence in her sports skills. B. The sports talent from her father.
C. Her advanced sports gloves and hats. D. The training offered by her father.
26. What happened after the author stepped into adulthood
A. She continued her passion for sports. B. She preferred reading to working out.
C. She regularly exercised on weekends. D. She joined Royal Canadian Air Force.
27. What is the author’s purpose of writing the article
A. To show her father’s guidance on sports. B. To express her love for sports and fitness.
C. To stress the benefits of physical exercise. D. To share her childhood memories about sports.
C
The saying “good medicine tastes bitter” may no longer hold in the country where it was born and believed. Xi Linjie, a 20-year-old college student, sought help for fatigue (疲劳) at a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) hospital in Chongqing and was pleasantly surprised by a cup of sweet milk tea. “TCM ingredients such as tapioca (木薯粉) and dried tangerine peel (陈皮) are added to the milk tea, yet it tastes delightful. It’s less sweet than regular milk tea and has a subtle herbal fragrance,” she says. “Most importantly, it’s beneficial to health.”
Since 2023, the hospital has blended TCM processing techniques with contemporary food production to attract a younger generation. “Milk tea is a favorite among young people. We hope it can act as a bridge for them to gain more knowledge about TCM and gradually accept it,” says Liao Changying, director of the hospital’s nutrition department.
“The TCM milk tea represents the integration of TCM, modern medicine, nutrition and more. Our goal is to help people prevent and manage diseases while enjoying delicious food and drinks,” Liao explains. Besides, the TCM milk tea shows how traditional medicine is appealing to the younger generation in an approachable manner. Nowadays, one doesn’t even need to visit a hospital to experience TCM in China.
In Chongqing’s Wansheng economic development zone, a TCM night market is held every weekend. “At these diverse stalls, we can enjoy free diagnoses and acupuncture and purchase TCM sachets (香囊) and drinks,” says Yang Jian, a 24-year-old resident. “I never realized TCM could be so close to our daily lives.”
Doctor Wang Huiwu, who attended the night market, is pleased to see many young visitors seeking professional health advice on physical conditioning, which indicates that the younger generation has confidence in TCM. He also suggested that more efforts should be made to integrate TCM with other fields that interest young people, adding, “TCM is becoming a new trend among the youth”.
28. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The personal experience of a college student with TCM.
B. The introduction of a new TCM product.
C. The concept of “good medicine tastes bitter” in TCM.
D. The health benefits of sweet milk tea with TCM ingredients.
29. Why does the hospital integrate TCM with modern tastes
A. To replace modern medicine with traditional practices.
B. To attract the interest of younger individuals.
C. To make TCM less effective for health benefits.
D. To boost the financial cost of TCM items.
30. What is the TCM night market like
A. A place for professional health advice.
B. A social event with free entertainment.
C. A venue for experiencing TCM in daily life.
D. A platform for selling TCM products only.
31. What is Doctor Wang Huiwu’s attitude towards TCM

Have you ever been in mid-conversation with someone, when you look over and find them standing in the same position as you or holding the same facial expression It may seem like they have consciously copied you, but it is much more likely that it is the chameleon (变色龙) effect at play.
The chameleon effect is the unconscious imitation of another person’s gestures or behavior. Just as a chameleon attempts to match any environment’s colors, people acquire the behavior of others to bring them closer together and help make their interactions smooth.
The chameleon effect was confirmed in an experiment by psychologists John Bargh and Tanya Chartrand in 1999. The part of their experiment included 78 people, who each spoke with an experimenter. During the test, Bargh and Chartrand studied whether participants would copy the actions of someone they hadn’t met before, like moving the foot and touching the face. The second part measured the impact that copying someone has on the person being imitated.
In the first stage, participants increased their face touching by 20% and their foot movement by 50% while in conversation about a photograph with the experimenter. The individuals weren’t aware of what they were being studied for, and the photograph was used to catch their attention to insure unconscious acts. The second stage involved half of the participants being copied, and then rating the likability of the experimenter. The results, showed that those who were imitated scored the experimenter higher. It has shown that when someone copies our behavior, we develop more positive feelings about them. These interactions could be a person unconsciously willing to be liked, and forming a moment of connection.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Emily Harper sat at her desk, staring blankly at the math problems in front of her. Numbers and variables danced confusingly across the page, laughing at her every effort. At school, Emily was known for her artistic talents, but math had always been her weakness, No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t make sense of it.
Her struggles only worsened in the 10th grade. The pressure to keep up with her classmates grew, and the poor grades shook her confidence. Her parents decided to step in. “We need to find you some help,” her mother gently suggested one evening.
Then came Mr. Jenkins, a retired local teacher known for his unique teaching style. Emily was initially resistant; the idea of spending extra hours on a subject she hated seemed like a punishment. But - she unwillingly agreed, knowing something had to change.
Their first session was tense. Mr. Jenkins, sensing her frustration, didn’t dive straight into problems. Instead, he asked about her interests. When Emily spoke passionately about her painting, he smiled. “Math is like art, Emily. It has patterns and beauty if you know where to look.”
Doubtful but inspired, Emily listened as he began to explain concepts through visual examples. He used colors and shapes, turning abstract numbers into something almost tangible (有形). For the first time, math seemed less like a foreign language and more like a puzzle waiting to be solved.
However, progress was slow. Weeks passed with, minimal improvement, and Emily’s patience wore thin. A particularly difficult quiz left her in tears, convinced she was sure to fail. Mr. Jenkins said, “Remember, Emily, every artist starts with a blank canvas. Masterpieces aren’t created overnight.”
Encouraged by his firm belief, Emily pushed on. She began to see the connections between the steps, how each solution followed a logical path. Small victories in practice problems gave her some hope. Mr. Jenkins was always there, celebrating her successes, no matter how minor.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Gradually, Emily’s confidence grew with Mr. Jenkins’ help.
