My name is Tom, and I’m a senior one student. Last year, I moved to a new city with my family, which meant I had to start a new high school. At first, I was really nervous. I didn’t know anyone, and I was worried about fitting in.
On my first day, I wore my favorite shirt and arrived at school early. The hallways were crowded with students, and everyone seemed to know each other. I felt like an outsider. When I got to my first class, I sat in the back row and kept quiet. The teacher asked us to introduce ourselves, and when it was my turn, my voice was so quiet that almost no one heard me.
After class, a boy named Jack came up to me. “Hi, I’m Jack. Are you new here ” he asked with a smile. I nodded and told him my name. Jack was friendly and showed me around the school. He introduced me to his friends, and soon I started to feel more comfortable.
Now, I’ve been in school for six months. I have made several good friends, and I’m enjoying my classes. I’ve also joined the school’s basketball club, which is something I’ve always loved.

This Spring Festival, Ren Jun’s family chose to travel instead of having a traditional family reunion. They went to northwest China to see ancient Buddhist caves, temples, and a very old tomb in the desert. “Our daughter loves the culture there, so we took this long break to explore,” Ren said.
More and more Chinese people are doing the same, using the holiday to visit places rich in history. Data from travel platforms (平台) indicate that air bookings to cities such as Datong and Quanzhou have doubled since January 1, and by the second day of the holiday, tickets to Beijing’s Palace Museum had sold out, and there were very few left for the Terracotta Army in Xi’an.
People now want to learn more while they travel. Ren’s group had a guide named Xing Yaolong, who is an expert on Dunhuang. He said that people are willing to pay more to see special places like the Mogao Grottoes. New travel agencies like “The Seekers” are offering in-depth tours to places like Shanxi and Yunnan.
Wang Lei, a professor at Beijing Normal University, said, “As incomes rise, people seek to enrich their spirits. Retirees are a big part of this trend.”
Many travellers are also choosing to visit smaller, older towns instead of big tourist spots. A traveller named Daodao shared about a lantern festival in Zhanqi Village on the Internet. “The night is lit up with colorful fish-shaped lanterns, and everyone is dancing to folk music,” Daodao wrote, “To keep this 800-year-old tradition alive, locals are teaching others how to make lanterns and sharing event schedules online.”
For people who stay at home, the Spring Festival Gala on TV showed many cultural traditions and got 16.8 billion views. One viewer wrote, “This is amazing! I want to visit Wuxi and Chongqing now.” Another added, “We need to know where we come from to know where we’re going.”
28.How does the author lead in the topic in the first paragraph
A.By giving an example. B.By explaining an idea.
C.By showing numbers. D.By referring to an expert.
29.What do the data from travel platforms show
A.The ups and downs of air tickets. B.The growth of online shopping.
C.The rise of tourism. D.The change of how people get around.
30.What did Daodao do during this Spring Festival
A.He had a family get-together. B.He experienced village culture.
C.He visited many big tourist places. D.He taught people to make lanterns.
31.What is the best title for the text
A.In-depth Travel for Rich People
B.A Family’s New Choice for Holidays
C.Cultural Traditions Need Protecting
D.Cultural Trips Replace Reunions for Spring Festival
Old buildings are usually thought of as throwaways and suitable for being pulled down. Most people have not fully realized the “green” values that are connected with the upkeep of old buildings. Actually, keeping and making use of old architecture is one of the most environmentally-sound things we can do — more than the construction (建造) of any new architecture expected to be “green”.
Aged communities, which have developed and changed naturally over a long period, hold unique cultures of their own. The buildings inside them are irreplaceable (不可替代的) to the environment. Choosing to pull down such architecture basically is like sentencing a special community to disappearance. Constructing “green” can be about saving time-honored, local building traditions that value the local cultures, rather than just using the latest and greatest technologies.
The construction supplies (建筑材料) and workmanship are also worth protecting, not simply because of the environmental cost of producing and transporting them, but for the fact that some of such supplies and the workmanship no longer live. For example, my little river cottage (别墅) in West Virginia, which was built with chestnut before the disappearance of the chestnut trees, may never again be sourced. However, the probable buyer planned to pull it down, which, in my view, is not only a mark of downgrading the source but also goes against the idea of workable development.
As the Preservation Green Lab report describes, it takes 10 to 80 years for a new building that is 30% more practical (实用的) than a common present building to overcome the harmful climate (气候) change results connected to the construction, which focuses on the necessity of ongoing use of present buildings and communities, successfully stopping or decreasing (减少) the use of forests, farms, wildlife homes and open areas for new construction tasks.
As Carl Elefante of Quinn- Evans architects artfully said, “The greenest building is one that is already built.” Hopefully, the public will come to the agreement that present buildings are worth more care and attention.
32.How do most people deal with old buildings
A.People treat them lightly. B.People rebuild them actively.
C.People explore them fully. D.People treasure them heartily.
33.Why does the writer mention his little river cottage in paragraph 3
A.To prove the shortage of building supplies.
B.To explain the difficulty of building houses.
C.To show the connection to the old buildings.
D.To point out the value of keeping old buildings.
34.What can we know from the numbers in paragraph 4 about old buildings
A.They are more practical than the new buildings.
B.They can help avoid more environmental pollution.
C.They require fewer supplies during the construction.
D.They can clear away the bad influences on farms nearby.
35.What is the text mainly about
A.Culture worth lies in green buildings. B.Old buildings are cost-friendly.
C.Old buildings should be valued higher. D.Building workmanship should be treasured.

四、语法填空
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
For learning Chinese, the correct pronunciation of the words 56 (be) very important. Native speakers perfect these sounds as they grow up, but for new learners, this may take time.
For Mandarin learners, pronunciation is one of the 57 (challenge) most people tend to meet with. Error-making is a 58 (nature) part of learning any language, not just Mandarin, and we all have our own fair share of weak points.
We can easily spot some Mandarin pronunciation mistakes 59 are a lot more common than others. Pronunciation in Mandarin is important, because a simple shift in tone can completely change the meaning of a word. Unlike other East Asian languages, Mandarin depends heavily 60 tone to convey the proper meaning, so correct Chinese pronunciation is essential.
Sometimes, 61 the difference in sound is clear enough, learners make the mistake of pronouncing it the same way. The best approach to 62 (solve) this is to use a Mandarin pronunciation guide which tells you exactly how different sounds 63 (make) and where they come from so you can differentiate (区别) between them properly.
English has stressed syllables within words, while Mandarin does not. Mandarin can make changes to the tone of the vowel, which in turn, changes the meaning. Mandarin does have stress within a sentence. 64 (improve) your Mandarin pronunciation, listen to native Mandarin speakers as much as possible and talk with them too. Besides having general conversations with people 65 (regular), you should make sure you have a teacher who can help you identify where you’re going wrong. Remember, practice makes perfect!

After I had pictured it over and over again in my mind, the big day finally arrived: my first day at senior high! I woke up early and rushed out of the door in my eagerness to get to know my new school. On the way, the morning breeze brushing my cheeks like a friendly hello, I kept wondering what my new teachers would be like — maybe strict but kind, or funny and easy to talk to
The campus was still quiet when I arrived, so I decided to explore a bit. Anxious and excited, I told myself, “Lee, you will have a good beginning.” Some birds singing, I walked past the gym and stopped to look at the noticeboard. I was looking at the photos on the noticeboard when I heard a voice behind me. “New here ” Turning around suddenly, I crashed straight into someone. Then I heard the sound of a cup hitting the ground, and immediately saw the spilled coffee. Looking up, my face burning, I saw a handsome and young man with brown hair. His clean white shirt now had a dark brown mark, and it was spreading across his chest. “Oh, no!” I yelped. All the excitement about the new day disappeared, replaced by panic (惊慌)。
He quickly pulled out a tissue to wipe up the coffee stain on the floor. “It’s all right,” he said, “accidents happen.” I froze there, forgetting to help, “I... I am terribly sorry. I was just wondering what life is going to be like here.” “Don’t worry,” he gave me a smile. “You’ll soon find out.” He picked up the pieces of the cup and said goodbye to me.
How true his words were! When my head teacher stepped into the classroom, I was surprised to see the same handsome man I had met earlier.
“Good morning, everyone. Before we start, please come to the front one by one and introduce yourself to the class. I’ll go first. My family name is Brown....” Hearing his words, my heart began to beat wildly.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

Through the journey of my growth, there has been a role model. He is my high school physics teacher, Mr. Chen, who has a profound influence on my study and life.
Primarily, committed to his job, he spends countless hours in designing interactive experiments to demonstrate complex theories, sparking my curiosity about science. Additionally, beyond his outstanding professionalism, Mr. Chen always shows a great passion for supporting students’ growth, listening to their troubles with great patience and offering timely support, which inspires me to treat others with empathy and lend a hand for those in need.
For me, Mr. Chen is more than a brilliant teacher; he is a role model whose spirit lights the way for me and inspires me to pursue excellence.
67.参考范文
I tried to turn on my brain but the engine just wouldn’t start. I should say my name, of course. But what else What could I say to make a good first impression to erase the memory of that coffee stain I was organizing my words in my head when my turn came. With butterflies in my stomach, I dragged my feet to the front. Glancing at Mr Brown’s encouraging smile, I cleared my throat, “Hello, I’m Lee. This morning, I accidentally spilled coffee on our head teacher. Sorry again, Mr Brown.” Instead of a proper self-introduction, I blurted out an apology.
My words made everyone laugh and all eyes turned to Mr Brown’s white shirt. To my surprise, Mr Brown chuckled along with the class. “The coffee stain,” he said, his eyes twinkling, “has become our class’s first shared memory.” His response immediately eased my tension. He continued by comparing the accident to our learning journey, suggesting that sometimes the most imperfect beginning makes the best story, and that we should embrace such unexpected moments in senior high. Sunlight streamed through the window onto his white shirt, and I let out a smile of relief. People say, “Well begun, half done.” I guess this was a good beginning to my new school life.
