Into China’s Wild West
I was born in Lanzhou, Gansu province. My family and I moved to France when I was six years old. Since then, Gansu has become the remote, mysterious land of my ancestors. Even though I come back to visit every year, I still wonder(36)______ the people there live, what they eat, and if I can still be considered one of them.
Last year, I returned to the city for the Lunar New Year celebration. My favorite downtown noodle shop was already crowded at 7 a. m. I saw a five-year-old girl having breakfast with her mother at one table and, at (37)______, a street cleaner in an orange outfit calmly finishing his bowl next to a well-dressed businessman. Their lives(38)______ be worlds apart, yet here they share the same daily breakfast.
Aside from the delicious noodles, most tourists will visit Dunhuang, a city famous for its ancient Buddhist grottoes and murals(佛教石窟和壁画). I took my first trip there in January 2023. The unique beauty of northwestern China became increasingly easy to see(39)______I drove farther from Lanzhou. The barren(荒芜的) hills and open spaces seemed (40)______(stretch) out forever, covered in a thin layer of snow that sparkled under the winter sun.

When I finally reached Dunhuang eight hours later, the temperatures(41)______(drop) well below zero. The famous Mogao Caves demonstrate the rich cultural and spiritual exchanges that took place along the ancient Silk Road. I marveled at the countless frescoes(壁画) and statues(42)______ keep alive the stories of ancient pilgrims(朝圣者). The contrast between the cold, empty landscape surrounding Dunhuang and the colorful sacredness(神圣) of the caves was striking.
(43)______ the amazing cultural heritage in Dunhuang, Gansu is not the most attractive place to live. Itis largely a no-man’s land(44)______(trouble) by droughts and sandstorms, but I am still proud of being born there.

The Pain of Forgetting My First Language
No one prepared me for the heartbreak of losing my first language. It doesn’t feel like the sudden, sharp pain of losing someone you love, but (46)______a dull ache that builds slowly until it becomes a part of you. My first language, Cantonese, is the only one I share with my parents. As it (47)______ from my memory, I also lose my ability to communicate with them.
I was born in New York City and spent most of my childhood in Brooklyn speaking Cantonese. It was (and still is) the only language that my parents understand. In the 1980s, they (48)______ to the U. S. from China’s Guangdong Province. The jobs they found in kitchens and garment factories came with long hours, (49)______ them no time to learn English.
When I first learned English in elementary school, my parents encouraged me to be excellent in English class because they believed it to be the key to success in America. It was an easy decision to suppress(抑制) Cantonese in an (50)______ to blend in and to feel more American.
Over time, Cantonese played a smaller (51)______ in my life. It didn’t occur to me that my Cantonese was regressing until it was too late. First, my directions were off. I started saying jau, which means “right,” when I meant to say zo, which means “left.” Then, the names of colors started to (52)______ me. "I like your green dress", I said to my mom in Cantonese once. “This is blue, silly!” she laughed. Eventually, I struggled to construct sentences altogether, often (53)______ words or failing completely to recall them.
It’s deeply frustrating to be unable to express thoughts that I so eagerly want to share with my parents. We have no heart-to-heart conversations or mutual understanding. My heart aches, knowing that there’s a distance between us that may never fully be (54)______ . My parents are in their 60s now. There’s no (55)______ the fact that we have a limited amount of time together. So I made it a goal to relearn Cantonese and, ultimately, rebuild the relationship with my parents, for I don’t want the language barrier to disconnect us anymore.
III. Reading Comprehension (45’)
Section A(1’*15=15’)
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
People on a college campus were more likely to give money to the March of Dimes if they were asked for a donation by a disabled woman in a wheelchair than if asked by a non-disabled woman. In another (56)______ , subway riders in New York saw a man carrying a stick stumble and fall to the floor. Sometimes the victim(受害者) had a large red birthmark on his (57)______; sometimes he did not. In this situation, the victim was more likely to (58)______ aid if his face was spotless than if he had an unattractive birthmark.
In (59)______ these and other research findings, two themes are (60)______: we are more willing to help people we like for some reason and people we think (61)______ assistance.
In some situations, those who are physically attractive are more likely to receive aid (62)______ , in a field study researchers placed a completed application to graduate school in a telephone box at the airport. The application was ready to be (63)______ , but had obviously been“lost”. The photo stuck to (粘贴在) the application was sometimes that of a very (64)______ person and sometimes that of a less attractive person. The measure of helping was whether the individual who found the envelope actually mailed it or not. Results showed that people were more likely to (65)______ the application if the person in the photo was physically attractive.
The degree of (66)______ between the potential helper and the person in need is also important. For example, people are more likely to help a stranger who is from the same country rather than a foreigner. In one study, shoppers on a busy street in Scotland were more likely to help a person wearing a(n) (67) ______T-shirt than a person wearing a T-shirt printed with offensive words.
Whether a person receives help depends in part on the “worth” of the case. For example, shoppers in a supermarket were more likely to give someone (68)______ to buy milk rather than to buy cookies, probably because milk is thought more essential for(69)______ than cookies.

(A)
Clementine seemed to be missing a piece from her life’s puzzle for most of her life. Dropped off as a 3-
year-old homeless dog near New Orleans, the dog stayed in the shelter for four months before being moved to Texas.
While living at an adoption center in Texas, the dog was adopted out twice to different families. Sadly, neither of those adoptions were successful. It turned out Clementine didn’t get along with smaller pets, and she had too much energy for the second family.
Meanwhile, Captain Robert Moree wanted to add a fire dog to the station. He’d just read a study about how dogs help firefighters deal with the pressure of their jobs, and he was eager to give the study a real life trial run! With the permission of the chief and other firefighters, he and a few colleagues visited the shelter. As soon as they met Clementine, they were smitten!
“They introduced us to Clementine,” Captain Moree recalled. "She started to like us, and we liked her instantly. Later that day, my driver, Bryan Wallen, and I decided to get her. "
Captain Moree officially adopted Clementine, but she definitely belonged to every person in the firehouse. She loved to hug the firefighters in between calls, and she was always nearby whenever anyone was preparing food. “She rides on the truck when we go out on calls” said Captain Moree. “She not only makes the station feel more like home during our 24-hour shifts but also keeps us excited to come to the station.”
Clementine has made such an amazing journey from a homeless dog to a hero dog. She was named Dog of the Year at the 2022 ASPCA Humane Awards!

(C)
Every day, Lucy Dong and her best friend Amy Zhu wake at 7 a. m. - 7.10 a. m. If they are lucky-rush through their breakfast of steamed buns and noodles, and head off to what may be the best schooling system in the world.
The 10-year-olds, who are natives of Shanghai. study in 35-minute bursts from around 8 a. m. to 4 p. m., with a small break for lunch-and a class meeting - sandwiched in the middle.
Outside school hours, the girls’ lives are lots of extra-curricular activities: English class, flute class, drumming class, handwriting class, calligraphy class, Taekwondo training, modelling lessons and choir practice.
Shanghai was crowned (加冕)-for the second time-the champion of the Programme for International Student Assesment (PISA., which compares the maths, reading and science skills of some 510,00 secondary school students around the world) . Some experts question the value of comparing cities and countries. Others point out that Shanghai’s relatively well-funded schools and well-paid teachers are not representative (代表) of the Chinese education system as a whole.
Even so, the latest results are likely to see more and more educators flock east in search of the mega- city’s magic formula.
Professor Kong Lingshuai of the College of Education at Shanghai Normal University has studied the city’s PISA successes. He says that the secret is a mix of “traditional elements and modern elements”. The former is related to the high expectations of “tiger” parents, and a belief in Chinese children from a young age that effort is crucial to gaining a good education. The “modern elements” include Shanghai’s willingness to constantly adapt its curriculum and teaching practices; its focus on improving under-achieving schools by pairing them with those that excel; its openness to foreign ideas; and the introduction of performance-related pay.
An obsession with(痴迷于) training has also been the key, says Prof. Kong. As of last year, new teachers have to undergo a standardized, one-year training course before starting in the classroom. Once qualified, they are required to complete at least 240 hours’ training in their first five years, including online learning, paper reading. essay writing and so on. Teachers are also encouraged to attend each other’s classes to promote a culture of “idea sharing, exchanging and positive competition”.
Outsiders often dismiss China’s educational system as a pressure-cooker-style craze of exams that places too much emphasis on rote-learning and does little to stimulate creativity. But in Shanghai at least, that may be starting to change. Authorities are attempting to move away from testing that relies too heavily on memorizing facts and figures, and some schools are also giving students more time to play, rather than just study.
78. The author mentions Lucy Dong and Amy Zhu in the first 3 paragraphs to ______.
A. praise the hard work of these two girls
B. give readers the whole picture of Chinese education
C. show what education in Shanghai looks like
D. criticize the burden the education brings on them
79. Why do some experts challenge the result that Shanghai ranked 1 “in PISA test ”
A. Because the value of PISA, which only tests 510,000 students globally, receives doubt.
B. Because Shanghai has got more attention and resources from the central government.
C. Because only maths, reading and science skills are compared in PISA test, which is not enough.
D. Because Shanghai has a better system of financial support for schools as well as for teachers.
80. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “dismiss” in the last paragraph
A. To give credit for something. B. To think about something differently.
C. To think negatively of something. D. To claim the features of something
81. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage
A. Strict parents contribute little to the academic success of their children
B. Students have more free time to spend on their interest across China
C. Under-achieving schools are usually displaced by those academically competitive schools.
D. Many education researchers are getting to Shanghai to study the phenomenon.

My mother is a diligent and kind woman. She is very busy from morning till night. As a teacher, she works hard. (82)______ Both my brother and I love her dearly as she loves us.
My mother has been teaching math at a middle school in my hometown. She goes to work early in the morning and does not return home until late in the afternoon. She loves her students and cares for them. She treats them with patience and teaches them well. For her excellent quality and very good teaching results, she has been elected as a model teacher several times.
(83)______ Every day, when she comes back home from work, she sets about doing housework, sweeping the living room and bedrooms or cleaning the furniture, and putting everything in good order. She seems to be busy all the time. As she has been very busy working every day, she looks older than her age. But she looks as cheerful and happy as ever.
