The Lunar New Year is a major holiday in several Asian countries. And people celebrate over several days or even weeks. It is called the Spring Festival in China, Tet in Vietnam and Seollal in Korea.
What are some traditions around the Lunar New Year
One well-known ancient story speaks of Nian, a terrible monster that eats human flesh on New Year's Day. But Nian fears the colour red, loud noises and fire. So, Lunar New Year activities include putting up red paper dragons on the doors of homes. People also burn red lanterns all night and set off firecrackers to chase away the monster.
Red is considered a lucky colour to ring in a new year. People wear red clothing, decorate their homes with red paper lanterns and use red envelopes to present loved ones with gifts of money.
Ancestor worship is also common during this time. Many Korean families take part in a ceremony called “charye”. Female family members prepare food and male members serve it to ancestors. The final act involves the entire family sharing a meal and asking for help from their ancestors. Vietnamese culture holds a similar tradition.
How do diaspora (大移居) communities celebrate
Members of Asian American communities around the US also organize parades, parties and other events around the Lunar New Year. Lion and dragon dances are common, as are fireworks, traditional food and cultural performances.
What are some special foods for the New Year
Each culture has its own special foods for New Year celebration. In Chinese culture, for example, “changshou mian” or “long-life noodles” are eaten with a wish for a long, healthy and happy life. Koreans celebrate with “tteokguk”, a soup that contains thinly sliced rice cakes. And Vietnamese culture has “banh chung”, a traditional dish made from rice, mung bean and pork belly. The dish is usually covered with banana leaves, shaped into a square and tied up with strings for steaming.
21. Which is NOT a way to drive away Nian
A. Setting off firecrackers. B. Burning red lanterns.
C. Putting up red dragons. D. Making red envelopes.
22. In which country do people celebrate the Lunar New Year with “banh chung”
A. Korea. B. China. C. Vietnam. D. The US.

“A good book is easy to find. ” That is the message on a sign at Hernando Guanlao's home in the Makati area of Manila, the capital of the Philippines.
Guanlao has turned his home into a free public library. Visitors can borrow the books inside for free. Guanlao hopes his library will inspire people to read, especially the young. The 72-year-old said that his library includes books that all students can enjoy—from young children in kindergarten to older students in grade 12.
Guanlao's library has books for readers of all interests. He spoke to reporters at his home, which is filled with thousands of available books.
He calls his library Reading Club 2000. It contains many different kinds of books, or genres (体裁) . Genre is a group of artistic, musical, or literary works that share a particular style, form, or content. Some genres in literature are poetry, non-fiction (or real stories) , and fiction (or imaginary stories) . Then there are “sub-genres” such as cookbooks, science fiction, and mystery, to name just a few.
He started his library more than 20 years ago when he set 50 books on the walkway in front of his home. Guanlao's collection has grown greatly over the years—thanks to a continuous supply of books from donors.
Speaking of donors, he said, “They just leave boxes of books outside my house. ” He has also started donating books himself. He sends reading materials to public schools in far-away communities.
Guanlao's efforts come at a time when reading ability among students in the Philippines remains low. The Programme for International Student Assessment reports that reading scores in the Philippines are among the lowest in the world. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development runs that programme. Students in the Philippines are also facing learning delays in math and science.
Guanlao is firm about his goals: “My mission (使命) is to give away used and donated books to others at no cost,” he said, “and to promote education through literature.”
24. Who are the main targeted readers of Reading Club 2000
A. The youth. B. Literary lovers.
C. Middle-aged and old readers. D. Community book donors.
25. Which statement about Guanlao's library is UNTRUE according to the text
A. The book classification is very detailed.
B. The library continuously buys books for public schools.
C. The collection of the library is constantly expanding.
D. Rich books can satisfy various reading tastes.
26. What was the original intention behind the establishment of this private library
A. To increase social influence.
B. To enrich the cultural atmosphere.
C. To respond to the government's call.
D. To help with the backward education situation in Philippines.
27. What is Guanlao like
A. He is a self-disciplined teacher. B. He has a strong sense of social responsibility.
C. He is an industrious volunteer in the library. D. He is traditional and conservative.
C
Researchers have used radar (雷达) and other technologies to study a large “star” sand dune (沙丘) in eastern Morocco located in Africa. The team said it was able to get detailed data on how these dunes form and develop.
A star dune is named after its shape because it can look like a star when seen from above. These structures are very large and have a hill, or peak, at the top. They have large masses, called arms, spreading out from the peak. Star dunes are shaped by wind and other conditions in the environment.
Star dunes are common in deserts and can be found in Africa, the Middle East, China and North America. But scientists say, although there are a lot of star dunes, the formations have not been studied very much so far.
The research results recently appeared in the publication Scientific Reports. The scientists said the star dune rises 100 metres above surrounding dunes and is 700 metres wide. The structure contains an estimated five-and-a-half metric tons of sand.
The researchers used radar that can “see” underground to look at different elements within the star dune. The science instruments that were used are designed to map all layers within the dunes. They also used a method called luminescence dating to study the age of the dune. This method uses minerals in the sand to estimate when they last received sunlight in an attempt to guess the age of the dune.
The researchers estimated the oldest parts of the base of the star dune are about 13, 000 years old. And the dune is moving across the desert at a rate of about 50 centimetres a year. The team noted the star dune experienced the most growth during the past 1, 000 years.
Star dunes make up just 10 percent of all dunes in Earth's deserts. They have also been observed on Mars and on Saturn's moon Titan. Earth's largest star dunes are found in western China's Badain Jaran desert. Star dunes also are found in places including the Namib Sand Sea in Namibia, large sand seas in Algeria and Rub’ al Khali in Saudi Arabia. In North America, Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado contains a series of them.
28. What is the purpose of Paragraph 2
A. To provide readers with information about star dunes.
B. To introduce the locations of sand dunes.
C. To show the main structures of sand dunes.
D. To tell readers people have little understanding of sand dunes.
29. Why do researchers use luminescence dating
A. To measure the scale of sand dunes.
B. To develop minerals inside sand dunes.
C. To determine when the sand dune began to form.
D. To describe the underlying feature of sand dunes.
30. In which country can you see the biggest star dunes
A. Morocco. B. China. C. Saudi Arabia. D. The USA.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. The Process of Sand Dune Formation
B. Star Dunes: Wonders in the Desert
C. The Past and Future of Sand Dunes on Earth
D. Researchers Uncover “Secrets” of African Sand Dune
D
A recent study identified a genetic cause of left-handedness in some people. Researchers found rare variants (变体) of a gene involved in controlling the shape of cells. They found the variants to be 2. 7 times more common in left-handed people.
These genetic variants account for possibly 0. 1 percent of left-handedness. But the researchers said a gene, called TUBB4B, might play a part in the development of brain asymmetry (不对称性) . In most people, the two halves of the brain have slightly different structures and are dominant for different activities.
Clyde Francks of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in the Netherlands suggested that for most people, the left side of the brain controls the dominant right hand. TUBB4B controls a protein that gets formed into filaments (丝状物) called microtubules. These microtubules give structure to the insides of cells. The changes in TUBB4B that are more common in left-handers suggest that microtubules are involved in setting up the brain's normal asymmetries.
The two brain halves start to develop differently in the human embryo (胚胎) . Scientists do not know the system that controls this. The study's findings were based on genetic data from more than 350, 000 middle-aged to older adults in Britain. It was from the UK Biobank. About 11 percent of the people involved were left-handed.
For most people, left - or right-handedness might come down to chance. Changes in the levels of some molecules (分子) during important times of brain development could influence it, Francks suggested.
Historically, many cultures disapproved of left-handedness and forced people to become right-handed. In English, the word “right” also means “correct” or “proper”. And the expression a “left-handed compliment” means that a comment might seem nice but is an insult.
The new findings might have use in the field of mental health. People with schizophrenia (精神分裂) are around twice as likely to be left-handed or ambidextrous (左右开弓的) . Francks observed that genes involved in developing the brain in early life might be involved in brain asymmetry and mental health. “Our study found suggestive evidence of this, and we have also seen it in previous studies where we looked at more common genetic variants in the population, ” Francks added.
32. What is the text mainly about
A. A recent breakthrough in brain research.
B. The close relationship between genes and health.
C. New discoveries about why some people are left-handed.
D. A rare variant has been ultimately discovered by researchers.
33. What is the main function of microtubules
A. Controlling the left hand. B. Transporting a special protein.
C. Continuously changing TUBB4B. D. Establishing normal asymmetry in the brain.
34. What does the underlined phrase “an insult” mean in Paragraph 6
A. Rudeness. B. Explanation. C. Encouragement. D. Awareness.
35. What can be inferred about the new findings from the last paragraph
A. They prove left-handed people have serious mental health problems.
B. They will overturn some previous conclusions.
C. They have identified new genes involved in early brain development.
D. They may contribute to further exploration of mental health.

As we all know, “Going for a walk” is a popular pastime among older and younger generations. 36 . But you may be surprised to hear that wandering through pretty streets or hiking along mountainous ridges have not always been considered leisure activities, according to Daniel Gale, a researcher of walking.
He says that in Britain, walking for fun “wasn't really a thing” until the 1780s. 37 , and some people associated it with criminal activity. But for Charles Dickens, the famous English 19th Century author, marching through London streets and walking around the countryside was a big part of the creative process; a time to absorb what was going on around him.
But if speed-walking isn't your thing, perhaps you can take inspiration from another big- thinking wanderer. 38 . He said that he could not preserve his health and spirits unless he spent four hours a day walking at least.
39 , but has pedestrian etiquette (行人礼仪) remained the same A 1780 article for the London Magazine advised pedestrians to avoid things such as walking in conversation and preventing people behind you. Nowadays, we could probably add distracted phone-users to that list.
In this modern age, when many of us are tied to our desks and to our screens, the simple act of stepping out onto the city pavements, or getting lost in nature, may make all the difference to our wellbeing. 40
A. Is it safe to walk the streets alone at night
B. By doing so, they help them strengthen their capacities
C. This idea of taking a walk to clear your head has survived through to the 21st Century
D. That's because it's beneficial for both physical and mental health
E. Before that, it was just something people did out of necessity
F. Whether you see yourself more as a casual or a purposeful walker, why not build a habit out of it
G. 19th Century American writer Henry David Thoreau took a slower approach

Biar Kon grew up in a shelter in Kenya, after his parents were forced to migrate from neighbouring Sudan. When he was 17, he moved to Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, to attend school.
Once he arrived, he needed to get some documents from the Sudanese embassy (大使馆) . But when he went to look for the embassy, he couldn't find it. He asked a few people for directions, and no one knew where it was. Then an older woman tapped him on the back.
The lady said to him, “Hey, my son. ” “That was the first word, ” Kon recalled. “She said, ‘Hey, my son, how are you doing ’” The woman told Kon that she had seen him asking questions of multiple people as they passed, and she wondered if he needed money for food, or a place to stay. Then Kon realized that the woman thought he was homeless.
“Because in Kenya, it's very common, ” Kon said. “Kids at 17, kids at 15, kids at 12—kids of any age can be on the street looking for survival. ”
They cleared up the confusion, and the woman was able to give Kon directions to the embassy. Then she told him about the deeper reason she had asked if he needed help: because of her experience as a mother.
“I wouldn't want my child to be on the street,” the woman told him. “And anytime I see a child on the street, I feel like I have an obligation (义务) to help.”
The woman's generosity left a deep impression on Kon. And it inspired him to pay it forward, five years later, when he moved to Boston, Massachusetts.
When he arrived there, Kon expected that everyone he saw would be well-off and successful. So he was shocked at the number of homeless people he encountered on the street.

第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分）
第一节 应用文写作（满分15分）
One possible version:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am Li Hua, a high school student from China. I love geography and travel. Your website, www. , is one of my favourite websites. Your website has a wider range of information and rich knowledge background, which has brought me great convenience in learning and travelling. However, I have recently found that the introductions to tourist attractions in China are not very rich.
After all, China is a great country with a long history and numerous scenic spots worth a visit in particular, the Great Wall, for example. If more thorough introductions to China's tourist attractions are included, you website will be able to attract the attention of more people globally. I would appreciate it if you would like to consider my proposal thoughtfully.
Looking forward to your reply as soon as possible.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
第二节 读后续写（满分25分）
One possible version:
One day, outside a coffee shop, he observed an interaction between a young woman and a homeless man. The homeless man asked the young lady if she could spare change. And she said, “Why don't you go to look for a job ” Kon reflected back to that moment five years earlier, when the woman in Nairobi had mistaken him for a homeless person. Kon was still touched by her kindness. So he went up to the man, to see what he could do. He told Kon why he was on the street—because he made a mistake when he was in high school, and he couldn't get a job now.
After learning the young man's story, Kon knew it was time to pass on what that kind lady had done to him. Kon bought the man some breakfast, and gave him a little bit of money. The young man was moved to tears and thanked him again and again. Today, it's an encounter he reflects on often. For him, it was a reminder that you never know what people are going through unless you make a point to talk to them—the way the woman in Nairobi made an effort to talk to him. Kon hopes in the future he could start a non-profit to provide housing and social support for people living on the street—an idea partly inspired by his unsung hero.

W: Most babies first learn to walk and talk before developing any skills or hobbies, but this was not in the case of 15-year-old Australian artist Aelita Andre. When she was 9 months old, she started to learn painting by herself. By the age of one year and ten months, her first painting was in London Art Gallery. She had her first solo exhibition in Manhattan when she was just four years old. The show was called “The Prodigy of Colours”. Aelita's exhibition in Manhattan was displayed for three weeks straight. All her 24 artworks were sold there within a week. The price was ranging from $4, 000 to $10, 000. Aelita's work gained popularity and fame, and her artworks began appearing in the big galleries all over the world. Critics call her young Picasso, and her painting style is frequently compared with Jackson Pollock, the greatest abstract artist of all time. Global Child Prodigy Awards is the world's first and only award ceremony to recognize unique and talented children. Aelita Andre won the award in 2020. Everyone has his or her own talent, so find your own talent.
