I was able to do some new activities in the city. I met so many amazing people along the way!

Why go to Madrid？
There may be a slight chill(寒冷) in the air, with temperatures staying around 15℃ in March, but Spain’s handsome capital is slowly starting to warm up. Even more attractive are the cultural events.
A new exhibition on the living and working spaces of Spain’s greatest artist, Picasso, has just opened in the studio at the Fundación Mapfre at Paseo de Recoletos 23. It runs until 11 May with rarely seen pieces borrowed from his family.
Later this summer, the 400th anniversary of the death of the Renaissance(文艺复兴) painter El Greco will be marked with an exciting exhibition at the Museo del Prado at Paseo del Prado from 24June to 5 October.
How to go
The widest range of flights is offered by EasyJet—from Bristol, Edinburgh, Gatwick, Liverpool and Luton. British Airways and its sister airline Iberia combine forces from Heathrow and London City. Ryanair flies from Manchester and Stansted; Air Europa flies from Gatwick.
Barajas airport is 13km north-east of the city centre and is served by frequent trains on Metro line 8, but the shortest underground journey is a bit complex with at least one change at Nuevos Ministerios station and takes about 30 minutes. The fare to any station in the city centre is ∈4.50. The airport express bus runs every 15 to 35 minutes around the clock; ∈5 one way. It takes 40 minutes to reach the city centre. A taxi takes half the time. A flat rate of ∈30 covers most of central Madrid.
21. When will the exhibition about Picasso close
A. On 23 March. B. On 11 May. C. On 24June. D. On 5 October.
22. Which airline operates flights from Manchester to Madrid
A. EasyJet. B. Ryanair. C. Air Europa. D. British Airways.
23. What is the fastest way to reach central Madrid from Barajas airport
A. Take a taxi. B. Take a city bus. C. Take Metro line 8. D. Take the airport express bus.
【答案】21. B 22. B 23. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇应用文。一场关于西班牙最伟大的艺术家毕加索的生活和工作空间的新展览在西班牙美丽的首都马德里开幕了，今年夏末，为了纪念文艺复兴时期画家埃尔·格列柯逝世400周年的展览，也将于6月24日至10月5日在普拉多大道的普拉多博物馆举办。文章介绍了如何去马德里去观看这些展览。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据Why go to Madrid 部分第二段中的It runs until 11 May with rarely seen pieces borrowed from his family.可知，展览将持续到5月11日，展出的作品都是从他家人那里借来的。所以关于毕加索的展览将于5月11日闭幕。故选B。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据How to go 部分第一段中的Ryanair flies from Manchester and Stansted可知，瑞安航空从曼彻斯特和斯坦斯特德起飞。故选B。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据How to go 部分第二段中的Barajas airport is 13km north-east of the city centre and is served by frequent trains on Metro line 8, but the shortest underground journey is a bit complex with at least one change at Nuevos Ministerios station and takes about 30 minutes…The airport express bus runs every 15 to 35 minutes around the clock; ∈5 one way. It takes 40 minutes to reach the city centre. A taxi takes half the time.(巴拉哈斯机场位于市中心东北方向13公里处，经常有地铁8号线的列车为其提供服务，但最短的地铁旅程有点复杂，至少要在纽埃沃斯迷你火车站换乘一次，大约需要30分钟。……机场快线每15至35分钟一班，昼夜不停；车费是∈5。到市中心需要40分钟。打车只需要一半的时间)可知，从巴拉哈斯机场到马德里市中心，乘最短的地铁需要30分钟，机场快线需要40分钟，而打车则需要一半的时间—20分钟。由此可知，从巴拉哈斯机场到马德里市中心最快的方式是坐出租车。故选A。
B
While most TV stations and video-streaming platforms try to attract viewers by producing star-studded (明星荟萃的) reality shows, Henan TV has gone viral by promoting traditional culture through Chinese dance.
This year, Henan TV produced seven dance pieces highlighting traditional culture, such as Rhapsody on the Luo River Goddess (《洛神水赋》), a two-minute underwater dance，and Dragon Boat Festival and Guardian Warriors of Longmen (《龙门金刚》), a dance piece supported by AR technology against the backdrop of the Longmen Grottoes. “The seven dance pieces have gained nearly 30 billion hits on social media platforms,” said Yao Wei, director of the TV station’s Innovation Center. “It’s a huge success for Henan TV.”
Last month, Yao was invited to talk about how the TV station had produced the hit dance pieces at a three-day forum (论坛) centering on the research of Chinese dance. The pieces made an emotional impact on audiences, most of whom are members of Gen Z (people born between 1995 and 2009), Yao said. “It’s been over forty years since the country’s reform and opening-up and the younger generations have grown up with a more open mindset. With plenty of resources and opportunities, they embrace Chinese culture and are proud of it,” said Yao. “What we need to do is present Chinese culture and tradition in interesting ways for those young people.” Yao added that Henan TV has been producing shows highlighting traditional culture, such as traditional operas and kung fu, for nearly 30 years. “To appeal to younger audiences, we are also changing our shows. One of the keys is to produce content with strong visual (视觉的) creativity,” Yao said. “For example, the latest technology and unconventional (新奇的) stage settings, like underwater scenes, have become our new ways of telling stories about traditional Chinese culture, rather than simply narrating (讲述) history with traditional video content.”
Another key to successfully reaching younger audiences is using social media platforms to promote their shows. “Social media is being shaped and driven by young people. It’s a powerful form of communication. When they take a quick scroll (滚屏) through their phones, they easily become interested in an eye-catching video,” Yao said.
24. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Henan TV
A. its cooperation with social media platform. B. its reality show featuring stars.
C. its popular hit dance pieces. D. its innovation in technology.
25. What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A. It took a long time for the younger generations to accept traditional culture.
B. The success of Henna TV lies in the way to stimulate audiences’ interest.
C. Traditional operas and kung fu no longer appeal to the younger generations.
D. Successful TV shows can never be made without the latest technology.
26. What does the underlined “they” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. social media platforms B. forms of communication
C. TV shows D. younger audiences
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. TV shows celebrating tradition gains popularity.
B. How technology helps promote traditional culture.
C. Traditional Chinese dance makes its comeback.
D. Gen Z embrace traditional Chinese culture.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了河南卫视通过中国舞蹈推广传统文化而迅速走红的事情。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“This year, Henan TV produced seven dance pieces highlighting traditional culture, such as Rhapsody on the Luo River Goddess (《洛神水赋》), a two-minute underwater dance，and Dragon Boat Festival and Guardian Warriors of Longmen (《龙门金刚》), a dance piece supported by AR technology against the backdrop of the Longmen Grottoes. “The seven dance pieces have gained nearly 30 billion hits on social media platforms,” said Yao Wei, director of the TV station’s Innovation Center.”（今年，河南电视台制作了七部突出传统文化的舞蹈作品，比如两分钟的水下舞蹈《洛江神曲》，以及以龙门石窟为背景，利用AR技术支持的舞蹈《龙舟节与龙门守护勇士》。“这七首舞在社交媒体平台上获得了近300亿的点击量，”电视台创新中心主任姚伟说。）可知，本段介绍了河南电视台制作的七部舞蹈作品，它们的点击量很大，特别受欢迎。故选C项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““What we need to do is present Chinese culture and tradition in interesting ways for those young people.” Yao added that Henan TV has been producing shows highlighting traditional culture, such as traditional operas and kung fu, for nearly 30 years.”（“我们要做的是用有趣的方式向年轻人展示中国文化和传统。”姚补充说，近30年来，河南电视台一直在制作突出传统文化的节目，如传统戏曲和功夫。）可知，我们从第三段可以推断出河南电视台的成功在于激发观众的兴趣。故选B项。
【26题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段“Social media is being shaped and driven by young people.”（社交媒体是由年轻人塑造和推动的。）可知，年轻人塑造和推动了社交媒体，划线句子中的they指代的就是上文提到的年轻人，指出年轻人在快速浏览手机时，他们很容易对一个引人注目的视频感兴趣，D项“年轻观众”符合题意。故选D项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“While most TV stations and video-streaming platforms try to attract viewers by producing star-studded (明星荟萃的) reality shows, Henan TV has gone viral by promoting traditional culture through Chinese dance.”（虽然大多数电视台和视频流媒体平台都试图通过制作明星云集的真人秀节目来吸引观众，但河南电视台却通过中国舞蹈推广传统文化而迅速走红。）可知，本文主要介绍了河南电视台却通过中国舞蹈推广传统文化而迅速走红的事情，A项“庆祝传统的电视节目赢得欢迎”符合本文的主题。故选A项。
C
Letting me move into my university dormitory wasn’t an easy decision for my parents. However, they knew if I wanted a good education, I’d have to live away from home. I’d always dream of living alone the life of no rules and regulations and being independent. So I was delighted about this new stage in my life.
Unexpectedly, during the first few months of living alone, I would find myself crying every day. I would call my mum every day. Coming from a big family, I was used to noises surrounding me. Therefore, the scary silence at night was the worst. I couldn’t even sleep without keeping the lights on.
As time went by, I started enjoying the freedom that came with living alone. I could do things in my own time: eat whenever I want, wake up whenever I want. The space of loneliness was also then filled up by friends who became like family, so I started missing my family less.
When it was time to say goodbye and go back home after my graduation I was bittersweet. I’d enjoyed my time alone, learning things which wouldn’t have been possible if I had never moved away from home. But I’d also missed my family too much.
I’d learned a lot from this experience. Living alone made me value family time even more. I realized every second with them was important though I might not get the freedom while living alone.
I guess it’s different for everybody, but for me, there is no warmth in a house unless it’s filled with loving members and people you love.
28. How did the author feel before moving into the university dormitory
A. Sad. B. Happy.
C. Nervous. D. Cold.
29. What can we know about the author from paragraph 4
A. He had mixed feelings.
B. He didn’t enjoy his time alone.
C. He has been used to the life in school.
D. He found living with his family was better than in the school.
30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The author felt cold living in school.
B. The author’s dormitory was the warmest place.
C. The author felt warm living with his beloved ones.
D. Everyone felt warm when living with his beloved ones.
31. What does the author want to tell us
A. Family is the most important place in people’s life.
B. As time goes by, people can get used to what happened.
C. People can find freedom only when they leave their family.
D. People need to grow up on their own, but family plays an important role.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. D
【解析】

【28题详解】
推理判断题。文中第一段倒数第二句及最后一句提到“I’d always dream of living alone the life of no rules and regulations and being independent. So I was delighted about this new stage in my life.”作者总是梦想着能够自由自在的独立生活，所以作者对于能够展开自己的生活的新阶段感到十分开心，delighted意为“高兴地、愉快的”，B项符合题意，故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。第四段第一句提到“When it was time to say goodbye and go back home after my graduation I was bittersweet.”作者在毕业后要回家的时候有一种苦乐参半的感觉，作者很享受独处的时间，但也非常的想念自己的家人。由此可知，这是一种复杂的感情。A项符合文意，故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段提到“there is no warmth in a house unless it’s filled with loving members and people you love.”一间屋子将不会充满温暖，除非有一屋子你爱的和爱你的人。说明只要和爱的人在一起就会感觉到温暖。C项符合题意，故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。文中最后三段提到，作者一方面很享受自己独处的时光，在自己独处的时间中也学习到了很多自己料想不到的事情，一方面又很挂念家中，由此可说明作者认为人要学会独立，但家庭还是扮演着非常重要的角色。D项符合题意，故选D。
D
With the recent discussion about the health benefits of fish oil and other wellness plans, it can make you feel less worried to know that one thing never changes: Exercise is good for your health. Any movement, even walking, brings about a host of cardiovascular(心血管的)effects that can help you live longer, feel better, and not run out of breath when chasing children or small animals.
The question of how much exercise is best, though, is open to discussion. The answer often depends on your goals. For heart health, sessions four to five times weekly might be perfect. For mental health As The Independent reports, scientists believe there’s a pretty specific prescription(处方): Exercising for 45 minutes three to five times a week.
Researchers at Yale University and the University of Oxford made the study. They examined 1.2 million subjects(实验对象)who filled out the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey at two-year intervals(间隔时间)between 2011 and 2015.
Subjects who didn’t exercise at all had an average of three-and-a-half days per month when they felt mentally unwell — stressed, depressed, or suffering from emotional problems — while those who exercised regularly reported an average of just two days.
The study found that having three to five 45-minute sessions of exercise a week was best for reducing the reported problems of feeling stressed or depressed. Exercising for longer periods — some subjects reported more than 90 minutes in the gym — was connected with a drop-off in mental health benefits. Subjects who spent three hours at a time exercising actually reported an increase in depressive symptoms(症状).
Researchers also found that the kind of exercise undertaken made a difference. While all kinds of exercise helped, people who took part in team sports promoting social communication and gym classes like cycling described greater self-satisfaction with mental health.
Because the study included self-reported outcomes and exercise wasn’t monitored, it’s possible that the subjects could have misread the amount of exercise performed. The study, however, makes a convincing case for a popular opinion: If exercise were a pill, doctors everywhere would be prescribing it.
32. The perfect amount of exercise for a person is usually decided by ________.
A. his exercise routine B. his physical condition
C. what sports he prefers D. what he expects to improve
33. What do the numbers in paragraphs 4 and 5 show
A. The health benefits of exercise.
B People’s response to hard exercise.
C. How exercise influences one’s mental health.
D. Why positive attitudes promote one’s exercise.
34. Which of the following sports may bring people more pleasure
A. Tai chi. B. Volleyball. C. Climbing. D. Diving.
35. What may be the reason for the disadvantage of the study
A. Too few participants.
B. Its researchers’ personal interests.
C. The subjects’ personal judgments.
D. Its failure to consider doctors’ suggestions.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了随着最近关于鱼油对健康的好处和其他健康计划的讨论，有一件事永远不会改变：锻炼对你的健康有益，这可能会让你不那么担心。然而，关于多少运动量最好的问题还有待讨论。答案往往取决于你的目标。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The question of how much exercise is best, though, is open to discussion. The answer often depends on your goals.”（然而，关于多少运动量最好的问题还有待讨论。答案往往取决于你的目标。）可知，一个人的最佳运动量通常取决于他希望提高哪些方面。故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Subjects who didn’t exercise at all had an average of three-and-a-half days per month when they felt mentally unwell — stressed, depressed, or suffering from emotional problems — while those who exercised regularly reported an average of just two days.”（完全不锻炼人平均每月有三天半的时间感到精神不适——压力大、抑郁或遭受情绪问题——而经常锻炼的人平均只有两天。）以及第五段中“The study found that having three to five 45-minute sessions of exercise a week was best for reducing the reported problems of feeling stressed or depressed.”（研究发现，每周进行三到五次45分钟的锻炼，对于减少压力或抑郁的报告问题是最好的。）可知，第4段和第5段中的数字说明了运动对健康的好处。故选A项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“While all kinds of exercise helped, people who took part in team sports promoting social communication and gym classes like cycling described greater self-satisfaction with mental health.”（虽然各种锻炼都有帮助，但参加促进社会交流的团队运动和骑自行车等健身课程的人对心理健康的自我满意度更高。）结合各个选项运动的项目，故可推知，排球这项运动能给人们带来更多的乐趣。故选B项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Because the study included self-reported outcomes and exercise wasn’t monitored, it’s possible that the subjects could have misread the amount of exercise performed.”（因为这项研究包括了自我报告的结果，而且没有监测运动，所以研究对象可能误解了运动量。）故可推知，这项研究的缺点可能是因为受试者的个人判断。故选C项。

结合下文“Find a tent that will accommodate your group, or buy a one-person tent if you want to sleep alone（找一个能容纳你的团队的帐篷，如果你想单独睡觉，可以买一个单人帐篷）”可知，此处应该说建议买帐篷，A项“a tent”与之对应，故A选项“买一个帐篷”。故选A项。
【38题详解】
结合下文“Pillows may seem like a luxury item but they make camping much more comfortable（枕头可能看起来像是一件奢侈品，但它们使露营更加舒适）”可知，此处会提到枕头，B选项中的“a pillow”与下文中的“pillows”相对应，故B选项“别忘了带个枕头”切题。故选B项。
【39题详解】
结合上文“Double check to be sure your camping site is big enough to fit a canopy, and to make sure they are allowed. （仔细检查，确保你的露营地足够大，可以装下罩篷，并确保它们是被允许的。）”可知，要达到最舒服应该怎么做。G选项“你可以买一张可折叠的桌子和椅子放在罩篷里”，故选G项。
【40题详解】
结合前文“When you return to your car after the camping trip（当你露营后回到你的车里）”可知，当当你露营旅行结束回到车上，你可能会又累又饿。故D选项“你可能会又累又饿”。故选D项。

Each of us fails from time to time.

【答案】56. But
57. of 58. a
59. kept 60. that
61. repeatedly
62. his 63. when
64. included
65. encouragement
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要通过一个叫Donnie孩子的经历告诉我们：作为老师或者父母，要让我们的孩子能够接受失败，也敢于面对失败。
【56题详解】
考查连词。句意：如果我们是明智的，我们就会接受这些失败作为学习过程中必要的一部分。但作为父母和老师，我们往往不允许我们的孩子拥有同样的权利。根据语境可知，此处和上文之间构成了转折关系，应使用并列连词but，位于句首，首字母大写。故填But。
【57题详解】
考查介词。句意：我们通过言语或行动传达的信息是，失败是一件可耻的事情，只有最好的表现才能达到我们的期望。根据语境可知，此处是固定短语：be ashamed of意为“为……感到羞耻”。故填of。
【58题详解】
考查冠词。句意：他是一个害羞又紧张的完美主义者。此处表示泛指“一个害羞又紧张的完美主义者”，应用不定冠词，shy是以辅音音素开头的词，应用a。故填a。
【59题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：他对失败的恐惧使他无法参加其他孩子玩的课堂游戏。根据语境可知，此处描述的是过去的事情，应使用一般过去时。故填kept。
【60题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：他很少回答问题，因为害怕自己可能错了。根据语境可知，此处是固定搭配：for fear that意为“生怕……”。故填that。
【61题详解】
考查副词。句意：他很少完成他的工作，因为他反复向我确认他没有犯错误。此处修饰动词checked，应用副词。故填repeatedly。
【62题详解】
考查代词。句意：我尽了最大的努力来建立他的自信。根据语境可知，此处指“他的自信”，应用形容词性物主代词。人故填his。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：但这一切都没有改变，直到期中考试，实习老师玛丽·安妮被派到我们教室。此处为非限定性定语从句，先行词为midterm，指时间，在从句中做状语，应用关系副词when引导。故填when。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我的学生，包括唐尼，都很喜欢她。本句中的谓语动词为adored，此处应用非谓语动词，Donnie与include为逻辑动宾关系，应用过去分词，表被动意义。故填included。
【65题详解】
考查名词。句意：在她频繁的鼓励下，唐尼变得自信起来。空前her frequent是形容词词组，后接名词，做介词with的宾语，encouragement为不可数名词。故填encouragement。

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。
My family had a hard time when I was in Grade 11. My parents lost their jobs during the Depression. Dad was too ill to work outside, while Mum had a tough time raising us kids on her own in our small community. We relied on our community assistance to keep us clothed, and although our clothes were secondhand, we thought they were beautiful.
Looking back, I realize what Mum went through for sending us kids to school. Every morning she would put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, because our shoes were worn out. Moving house constantly was typical for my family during the period. Rent was twenty-five dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it. These were hard and sad years, but we never complained.
The new year was approaching, and we were entitled (享有)to a twenty-five dollar fund for social services. Mum said that instead of buying food, she would use the money to pay back rent, making sure we all had a roof over our heads for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for the new year.
Unknown to Mum, I had been removing snow and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of shoes. I knew exactly which shoes I wanted. They were made of genuine leather and they had a price of twenty-three dollars. Well, the big day came on the last day of that year. I was very excited, as I was hurrying up to catch the bus. It was only a half-a-mile walk, but on the way I noticed a house with lights and decorations. It was then that I realized in our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor any money for goodies (好吃的东西). I knew then that we would have no delicious food for the new year, and I felt sad.
As I continued walking, I began to feel confused. I was sixteen years old, and I was feeling a strange sense of guilt. Here I was going to buy a new pair of shoes while Mum was home in tears. She would be trying to explain to us why there were no presents.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

I thought how I ought to use the money I had earned.

Soon I got to my house with the groceries (食品杂货).
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I thought how I ought to use the money I had earned. The bus drove off without me. Across the street from the bus stop was a big grocery store. I went into the store and bought a turkey, ham, oranges and other goodies. I spent every dollar of my hard-earned money. The owner of the grocery store said, “Girl, the groceries have packed up like a mountain, and you can’t carry them home by yourself.” So I asked two boys with carriers on their bicycles to run them the half-mile down to my house.
Soon I got to my house with the groceries ( 食品杂货 ). With great excitement and tears in my eyes, I knocked on the door. When Mum opened the door, she surprisingly found that some of the groceries fell inside onto the floor. Holding back the tears I whispered “Happy New Year! A big surprise!” “Can you tell me what happened ” Mum was so excited that she cried out. I had a lot of explanation as we unpacked all the food and put it away. That day I got enough hugs and kisses from Mum. Even though I failed to get a new pair of gloves, the smile on Mum’s face made it all worthwhile. It was an unforgettable New Year for us after all!

Why go to Madrid？
There may be a slight chill(寒冷) in the air, with temperatures staying around 15℃ in March, but Spain’s handsome capital is slowly starting to warm up. Even more attractive are the cultural events.
A new exhibition on the living and working spaces of Spain’s greatest artist, Picasso, has just opened in the studio at the Fundación Mapfre at Paseo de Recoletos 23. It runs until 11 May with rarely seen pieces borrowed from his family.
Later this summer, the 400th anniversary of the death of the Renaissance(文艺复兴) painter El Greco will be marked with an exciting exhibition at the Museo del Prado at Paseo del Prado from 24June to 5 October.
How to go
The widest range of flights is offered by EasyJet—from Bristol, Edinburgh, Gatwick, Liverpool and Luton. British Airways and its sister airline Iberia combine forces from Heathrow and London City. Ryanair flies from Manchester and Stansted; Air Europa flies from Gatwick.
Barajas airport is 13km north-east of the city centre and is served by frequent trains on Metro line 8, but the shortest underground journey is a bit complex with at least one change at Nuevos Ministerios station and takes about 30 minutes. The fare to any station in the city centre is ∈4.50. The airport express bus runs every 15 to 35 minutes around the clock; ∈5 one way. It takes 40 minutes to reach the city centre. A taxi takes half the time. A flat rate of ∈30 covers most of central Madrid.
21. When will the exhibition about Picasso close
A. On 23 March. B. On 11 May. C. On 24June. D. On 5 October.
22. Which airline operates flights from Manchester to Madrid
A. EasyJet. B. Ryanair. C. Air Europa. D. British Airways.
23. What is the fastest way to reach central Madrid from Barajas airport
A. Take a taxi. B. Take a city bus. C. Take Metro line 8. D. Take the airport express bus.
B
While most TV stations and video-streaming platforms try to attract viewers by producing star-studded (明星荟萃的) reality shows, Henan TV has gone viral by promoting traditional culture through Chinese dance.
This year, Henan TV produced seven dance pieces highlighting traditional culture, such as Rhapsody on the Luo River Goddess (《洛神水赋》), a two-minute underwater dance，and Dragon Boat Festival and Guardian Warriors of Longmen (《龙门金刚》), a dance piece supported by AR technology against the backdrop of the Longmen Grottoes. “The seven dance pieces have gained nearly 30 billion hits on social media platforms,” said Yao Wei, director of the TV station’s Innovation Center. “It’s a huge success for Henan TV.”
Last month, Yao was invited to talk about how the TV station had produced the hit dance pieces at a three-day forum (论坛) centering on the research of Chinese dance. The pieces made an emotional impact on audiences, most of whom are members of Gen Z (people born between 1995 and 2009), Yao said. “It’s been over forty years since the country’s reform and opening-up and the younger generations have grown up with a more open mindset. With plenty of resources and opportunities, they embrace Chinese culture and are proud of it,” said Yao. “What we need to do is present Chinese culture and tradition in interesting ways for those young people.” Yao added that Henan TV has been producing shows highlighting traditional culture, such as traditional operas and kung fu, for nearly 30 years. “To appeal to younger audiences, we are also changing our shows. One of the keys is to produce content with strong visual (视觉的) creativity,” Yao said. “For example, the latest technology and unconventional (新奇的) stage settings, like underwater scenes, have become our new ways of telling stories about traditional Chinese culture, rather than simply narrating (讲述) history with traditional video content.”
Another key to successfully reaching younger audiences is using social media platforms to promote their shows. “Social media is being shaped and driven by young people. It’s a powerful form of communication. When they take a quick scroll (滚屏) through their phones, they easily become interested in an eye-catching video,” Yao said.

Letting me move into my university dormitory wasn’t an easy decision for my parents. However, they knew if I wanted a good education, I’d have to live away from home. I’d always dream of living alone the life of no rules and regulations and being independent. So I was delighted about this new stage in my life.
Unexpectedly during the first few months of living alone, I would find myself crying every day. I would call my mum every day. Coming from a big family, I was used to noises surrounding me. Therefore, the scary silence at night was the worst. I couldn’t even sleep without keeping the lights on.
As time went by, I started enjoying the freedom that came with living alone. I could do things in my own time: eat whenever I want, wake up whenever I want. The space of loneliness was also then filled up by friends who became like family, so I started missing my family less.
When it was time to say goodbye and go back home after my graduation I was bittersweet. I’d enjoyed my time alone, learning things which wouldn’t have been possible if I had never moved away from home. But I’d also missed my family too much.
I’d learned a lot from this experience. Living alone made me value family time even more. I realized every second with them was important though I might not get the freedom while living alone.
I guess it’s different for everybody, but for me, there is no warmth in a house unless it’s filled with loving members and people you love.
28. How did the author feel before moving into the university dormitory
A. Sad. B. Happy.
C. Nervous. D. Cold.

B. He didn’t enjoy his time alone.
C. He has been used to the life in school.
D. He found living with his family was better than in the school.
30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The author felt cold living in school.
B. The author’s dormitory was the warmest place.
C. The author felt warm living with his beloved ones.
D. Everyone felt warm when living with his beloved ones.
31. What does the author want to tell us
A. Family is the most important place in people’s life.
B. As time goes by, people can get used to what happened.
C. People can find freedom only when they leave their family.
D. People need to grow up on their own, but family plays an important role.

With the recent discussion about the health benefits of fish oil and other wellness plans, it can make you feel less worried to know that one thing never changes: Exercise is good for your health. Any movement, even walking, brings about a host of cardiovascular(心血管)effects that can help you live longer, feel better, and not run out of breath when chasing children or small animals.
The question of how much exercise is best, though, is open to discussion. The answer often depends on your goals. For heart health, sessions four to five times weekly might be perfect. For mental health As The Independent reports, scientists believe there’s a pretty specific prescription(处方): Exercising for 45 minutes three to five times a week.
Researchers at Yale University and the University of Oxford made the study They examined 1.2 million subjects(实验对象)who filled out the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey at two-year intervals(间隔时间)between 2011 and 2015.
Subjects who didn’t exercise at all had an average of three-and-a-half days per month when they felt mentally unwell — stressed, depressed, or suffering from emotional problems — while those who exercised regularly reported an average of just two days.
The study found that having three to five 45-minute sessions of exercise a week was best for reducing the reported problems of feeling stressed or depressed. Exercising for longer periods — some subjects reported more than 90 minutes in the gym — was connected with a drop-off in mental health benefits. Subjects who spent three hours at a time exercising actually reported an increase in depressive symptoms(症状).
Researchers also found that the kind of exercise undertaken made a difference. While all kinds of exercise helped, people who took part in team sports promoting social communication and gym classes like cycling described greater self-satisfaction with mental health.
Because the study included self-reported outcomes and exercise wasn’t monitored, it’s possible that the subjects could have misread the amount of exercise performed. The study, however, makes a convincing case for a popular opinion: If exercise were a pill, doctors everywhere would be prescribing it.
32. The perfect amount of exercise for a person is usually decided by ________.
A. his exercise routine B. his physical condition
C. what sports he prefers D. what he expects to improve
33. What do the numbers in paragraphs 4 and 5 show
A. The health benefits of exercise.
B. People’s response to hard exercise.
C. How exercise influences one’s mental health.
D. Why positive attitudes promote one’s exercise.
34. Which of the following sports may bring people more pleasure
A. Tai chi. B. Volleyball. C. Climbing. D. Diving.
35. What may be the reason for the disadvantage of the study
A. Too few participants.
B. Its researchers’ personal interests.
C. The subjects’ personal judgments.
D. Its failure to consider doctors’ suggestions.

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。
My family had a hard time when I was in Grade 11. My parents lost their jobs during the Depression. Dad was too ill to work outside, while Mum had a tough time raising us kids on her own in our small community. We relied on our community assistance to keep us clothed, and although our clothes were secondhand, we thought they were beautiful.
Looking back, I realize what Mum went through for sending us kids to school. Every morning she would put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, because our shoes were worn out. Moving house constantly was typical for my family during the period. Rent was twenty-five dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it. These were hard and sad years, but we never complained.
The new year was approaching, and we were entitled (享有)to a twenty-five dollar fund for social services. Mum said that instead of buying food, she would use the money to pay back rent, making sure we all had a roof over our heads for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for the new year.
Unknown to Mum, I had been removing snow and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of shoes. I knew exactly which shoes I wanted. They were made of genuine leather and they had a price of twenty-three dollars. Well, the big day came on the last day of that year. I was very excited, as I was hurrying up to catch the bus. It was only a half-a-mile walk, but on the way I noticed a house with lights and decorations. It was then that I realized in our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor any money for goodies (好吃的东西). I knew then that we would have no delicious food for the new year, and I felt sad.
As I continued walking, I began to feel confused. I was sixteen years old, and I was feeling a strange sense of guilt. Here I was going to buy a new pair of shoes while Mum was home in tears. She would be trying to explain to us why there were no presents.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

I thought how I ought to use the money I had earned.
