Abbas El-Said, an Egyptian tour guide, has become a living bridge between China and Egypt through his passion for cultural exchange. His story, reported twice in People’s Daily (in 2012 and 2023), reflects his dedication to connecting the two ancient civilizations.
Abbas’s love for China began in childhood after reading a book about the East. Later, he studied Chinese at Ain Shams University, where he practiced thinking in Chinese to master the language. His efforts paid off, and after graduating in 2006, he pursued tourism studies, becoming a professional Chinese-speaking guide in 2009.
In 2010, Abbas worked as an assistant director at the China Cultural Center in Cairo, calling it “a window to Chinese culture.” For three years, he organized events like the Chinese New Year temple fair, introducing Egyptian students to traditions such as the 12 Chinese zodiac animals. A photo of him teaching these stories appeared in People’s Daily in 2012, which he still treasures today.
Abbas sees the BRI (China’s Belt and Road Initiative) as a modern revival of the ancient Silk Road. He highlights its benefits for Egypt, including the Central Business District in Cairo — home to Africa’s tallest building — and the 10th of Ramadan Light Rail, built with Chinese technology. “My life is splendid because of the BRI,” he says, noting how these projects create jobs and improve infrastructure.
With tourism between Egypt and China growing, Abbas now guides 2-3 Chinese groups monthly. He plans to start a company to further strengthen cultural and economic ties. Meanwhile, Chinese language learning is booming in Egypt. Since September 2022, Chinese has been taught in secondary schools, reflecting the country’s enthusiasm for deeper cooperation.
Abbas believes mutual understanding starts with people. His journey — from a curious child to a cultural envoy — shows how individual passion can foster friendship between nations. As he puts it, “The strongest potential of Sino-Egypt cooperation lies in people-to-people bonds.”
4. What first sparked Abbas’s passion for Chinese culture
A. A report in People’s Daily
B. A university course on Chinese language
C. A job as a guide
D. An introductory book about Eastern civilizations
5 What was Abbas’s primary role at the China Cultural Center
A. A Chinese language proficiency evaluator
B. A researcher of historical documents
C. A facilitator of bilateral trade agreements
D. An organizer of intercultural exchange programs
6. How does Abbas feel about the BRI’s impact on his life
A. Doubtful B. Grateful C. Indifferent D. Critical
7. What key factor does Abbas’s story demonstrate in building Sino-Egypt relations
A. Government policies drive all meaningful cooperation
B. Economic projects automatically ensure cultural exchange
C. Personal connections create lasting bilateral foundations
D. Tourism growth is the only reliable measure of success
C
The “lipstick effect” refers to the idea that women purchase more lipsticks when the economy is in bad shape. A 2020 study published by the Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics investigated the spending habits of women aging 18-40 during the 2007 recession (衰退). They found a rise in make-up purchases during the years when money was the tightest. There are a few theories that try to explain this seemingly impractical trend.
In a 2021 article published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, researchers theorized that the “lipstick effect” was a result of evolutionary mating psychology. “The lipstick effect reflects a strategic shift in women’s consumer behavior that is guided by the desire to attract the mates they most desire in an environment where they are rare,” the researchers concluded.
Though this paper is frequently cited, a 2020 study published in the Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics suggested that the women who contributed to the increase in cosmetic purchases included an even mixture of married and single women, employed and unemployed.
It turns out, the most popular lipstick color for women to buy is contrary to what men find the most bewitching. That said, there are various potential reasons why lipstick purchases increase when the economy is down, and they have nothing to do with mating and the male stare.
“Perhaps people simply trade down to cheaper luxury and feel-good purchases when money gets tight,” consumer psychologist at the University of the Arts, London, Dr. Paul Marsden, told Byrdie. This is a great assumption, considering a survey conducted by found that 51.8% of adult Americans purchase products when they are seeking to improve their mood.
However, there has yet to be any conclusive evidence explaining the “lipstick effect”. Whether it’s lipstick, single-use facials, or a new book, purchasing low-cost luxury items can be a pick-me-up in the face of tough times.
8. What can we know from the 2021 article
A. It did not observe single women’s behavior.
B. It showed no respect for female consumers.
C It narrowed women’s consumption motives.
D. It just paid attention to cosmetic markets.
9. What does the underlined word “bewitching” mean in Paragraph 4
A. Economical. B. Inviting. C. Shocking. D. Luxurious.
10. What does the “lipstick effect” mainly discuss
A. Shifts of marketing strategies in recessions.
B. Consumption psychology of young adults.
C. Causes of females’ low purchasing power.
D. Preference of buying affordable products.
11. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A. People in bad economic times try to lift spirits.
B. Paul Marsden offered a conclusive explanation.
C. ’s finding contradicted Paul Marsden’s view.
D. Over half of Americans suffer from economic recession.
D
When viewed from above, highway traffic resembles ant colonies in motion. Yet unlike human drivers, ants remarkably avoid traffic jams through collective intelligence. Scientists are now studying these tiny creatures to develop smarter self-driving car systems that could prevent traffic jams.
Research shows traffic flow becomes unstable when vehicle density reaches 15 cars per mile per lane. A single brake application can trigger a chain reaction of stopping-what physicist Katsuhiro Nishinari calls a “phase transition”, similar to water turning to ice. Surprisingly, ants maintain smooth movement even at high densities. Studies reveal their secret lies in traveling in small groups (3-20 ants) at consistent speeds while maintaining proper spacing and never overtaking each other.
The parallels between ant colonies and potential smart traffic systems are striking. Just as ants coordinate through chemical signals without any central authority, future vehicle networks could operate through decentralized communication. ”What emerges is a remarkably strong system without any single leader,“ observes Noa Pinter-Wollman, a behavioral ecologist at UCLA who studies ant colonies. This distributed approach to traffic management could prove far more adaptable than our current top-down systems.
Human drivers, focused on personal speed advantage, inevitably cause jams. “We prioritize individual interests, which leads to congestion,” explains Nicola Pugno, an engineering professor at Italy’s University of Trento who contributed to the research. This fundamental difference in approach suggests that future autonomous vehicles, if properly programmed, could revolutionize traffic flow by adopting ant-like cooperation. Imagine a network of self-driving cars constantly communicating with nearby vehicles to maintain steady speeds and safe following distances, eliminating the stop-and-go patterns that waste time and fuel.
While ants show great flexibility by making paths wider or even moving upside down in narrow spaces, cars today cannot do the same. However, Nishinari offers one simple lesson from ants that all drivers can use: keep a safe distance. Leaving enough space between cars helps reduce sudden stops that often lead to unexplained traffic slowdowns.
12. What is the main purpose of scientists studying ants in relation to traffic systems
A. To understand how ants avoid predators.
B. To develop smarter self-driving car systems.
C. To learn how ants build their colonies.
D. To study the chemical signals ants use.
13. Why can ants avoid traffic jams even at high densities
A. They travel in small groups with consistent spacing and speed.
B. They rely on a central authority to coordinate their movements.
C. They use chemical signals to communicate with each other.
D. They frequently overtake other ants to avoid congestion.
14. How can ant colonies inspire future vehicle network design
A. It will rely on a central authority for coordination.
B. It will mimic the top-down systems currently in use.
C. It will operate through decentralized communication.
D. It will prioritize individual speed over collective efficiency.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. Ant Colonies: A Model for Future Traffic Systems
B. Human Drivers: The Cause of Traffic Congestion
C. Self-Driving Cars: The Science Behind Them
D. Decentralized Communication: The Future of Traffic

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。
Next to our house lived an old couple, who, accustomed to country life, were unwilling to move to the city to live with their son and stuck in a lonely existence for many years. It seemed that they didn’t feel like making any new connections with others, including their next-door neighbours.
The neighborhood kids nicknamed the strange old couple Crazy Jack and Ruby Rednose. Rumor (流言，传言) was that they sat inside and drank tea all day. The only words we ever heard from them were “Keep out of our rosebushes!” The rosebushes crawled along the fence. Or rather, they served as a fence between our house and theirs, overgrowing the support.
I was eleven at the time and the oldest of our family girls. A suitable playing court was a headache problem for us when we felt like playing softball games, which was our favourite sport then. We should have played our softball games elsewhere to avoid hurting the roses, but we secretly enjoyed annoying Crazy Jack and Ruby Rednose.
One day, we had a softball game in our yard. Mary was trying to catch a fly ball. She stumbled (绊倒) over one of Ruby Rednose’s rosebushes and fell on top of several more. Just at that moment, Ruby Rednose sprang out and ran toward Mary. She screamed angrily, “Look at what you’ve doneto our family’s roses! You’ve always been a trouble. You have no idea what this rosebush means to me!”
Hearing this, my sisters and I ran into our house. Breathlessly, we told Mom what had happened. “Girls, I have told you not to play softball near those e outside right now and help me fix them.” “Mom, we thought you didn’t like the couple,” we protested. “They’re mean to us.” Mom just glared at us. We followed her outside to help repair the rose fence. While Mom was examining the damaged roses, Ruby slowly walked out. She looked sad. And it wasn’t her nose that was red, but her eyes.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150字左右。2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Ruby walked over to my mother, we girls holding our breath.

Abbas El-Said, an Egyptian tour guide, has become a living bridge between China and Egypt through his passion for cultural exchange. His story, reported twice in People’s Daily (in 2012 and 2023), reflects his dedication to connecting the two ancient civilizations.
Abbas’s love for China began in childhood after reading a book about the East. Later, he studied Chinese at Ain Shams University, where he practiced thinking in Chinese to master the language. His efforts paid off, and after graduating in 2006, he pursued tourism studies, becoming a professional Chinese-speaking guide in 2009.
In 2010, Abbas worked as an assistant director at the China Cultural Center in Cairo, calling it “a window to Chinese culture.” For three years, he organized events like the Chinese New Year temple fair, introducing Egyptian students to traditions such as the 12 Chinese zodiac animals. A photo of him teaching these stories appeared in People’s Daily in 2012, which he still treasures today.
Abbas sees the BRI (China’s Belt and Road Initiative) as a modern revival of the ancient Silk Road. He highlights its benefits for Egypt, including the Central Business District in Cairo — home to Africa’s tallest building — and the 10th of Ramadan Light Rail, built with Chinese technology. “My life is splendid because of the BRI,” he says, noting how these projects create jobs and improve infrastructure.
With tourism between Egypt and China growing, Abbas now guides 2-3 Chinese groups monthly. He plans to start a company to further strengthen cultural and economic ties. Meanwhile, Chinese language learning is booming in Egypt. Since September 2022, Chinese has been taught in secondary schools, reflecting the country’s enthusiasm for deeper cooperation.
Abbas believes mutual understanding starts with people. His journey — from a curious child to a cultural envoy — shows how individual passion can foster friendship between nations. As he puts it, “The strongest potential of Sino-Egypt cooperation lies in people-to-people bonds.”
4. What first sparked Abbas’s passion for Chinese culture
A. A report in People’s Daily
B. A university course on Chinese language
C. A job as a guide
D. An introductory book about Eastern civilizations
5 What was Abbas’s primary role at the China Cultural Center
A. A Chinese language proficiency evaluator
B. A researcher of historical documents
C. A facilitator of bilateral trade agreements
D. An organizer of intercultural exchange programs
6. How does Abbas feel about the BRI’s impact on his life
A. Doubtful B. Grateful C. Indifferent D. Critical
7. What key factor does Abbas’s story demonstrate in building Sino-Egypt relations
A. Government policies drive all meaningful cooperation
B. Economic projects automatically ensure cultural exchange
C. Personal connections create lasting bilateral foundations
D. Tourism growth is the only reliable measure of success
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. C

The “lipstick effect” refers to the idea that women purchase more lipsticks when the economy is in bad shape. A 2020 study published by the Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics investigated the spending habits of women aging 18-40 during the 2007 recession (衰退). They found a rise in make-up purchases during the years when money was the tightest. There are a few theories that try to explain this seemingly impractical trend.
In a 2021 article published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, researchers theorized that the “lipstick effect” was a result of evolutionary mating psychology. “The lipstick effect reflects a strategic shift in women’s consumer behavior that is guided by the desire to attract the mates they most desire in an environment where they are rare,” the researchers concluded.
Though this paper is frequently cited, a 2020 study published in the Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics suggested that the women who contributed to the increase in cosmetic purchases included an even mixture of married and single women, employed and unemployed.
It turns out, the most popular lipstick color for women to buy is contrary to what men find the most bewitching. That said, there are various potential reasons why lipstick purchases increase when the economy is down, and they have nothing to do with mating and the male stare.
“Perhaps people simply trade down to cheaper luxury and feel-good purchases when money gets tight,” consumer psychologist at the University of the Arts, London, Dr. Paul Marsden, told Byrdie. This is a great assumption, considering a survey conducted by found that 51.8% of adult Americans purchase products when they are seeking to improve their mood.
However, there has yet to be any conclusive evidence explaining the “lipstick effect”. Whether it’s lipstick, single-use facials, or a new book, purchasing low-cost luxury items can be a pick-me-up in the face of tough times.
8. What can we know from the 2021 article
A. It did not observe single women’s behavior.
B. It showed no respect for female consumers.
C It narrowed women’s consumption motives.
D. It just paid attention to cosmetic markets.
9. What does the underlined word “bewitching” mean in Paragraph 4
A. Economical. B. Inviting. C. Shocking. D. Luxurious.
10. What does the “lipstick effect” mainly discuss
A. Shifts of marketing strategies in recessions.
B. Consumption psychology of young adults.
C. Causes of females’ low purchasing power.
D. Preference of buying affordable products.
11. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A. People in bad economic times try to lift spirits.
B. Paul Marsden offered a conclusive explanation.
C. ’s finding contradicted Paul Marsden’s view.
D. Over half of Americans suffer from economic recession.

When viewed from above, highway traffic resembles ant colonies in motion. Yet unlike human drivers, ants remarkably avoid traffic jams through collective intelligence. Scientists are now studying these tiny creatures to develop smarter self-driving car systems that could prevent traffic jams.
Research shows traffic flow becomes unstable when vehicle density reaches 15 cars per mile per lane. A single brake application can trigger a chain reaction of stopping-what physicist Katsuhiro Nishinari calls a “phase transition”, similar to water turning to ice. Surprisingly, ants maintain smooth movement even at high densities. Studies reveal their secret lies in traveling in small groups (3-20 ants) at consistent speeds while maintaining proper spacing and never overtaking each other.
The parallels between ant colonies and potential smart traffic systems are striking. Just as ants coordinate through chemical signals without any central authority, future vehicle networks could operate through decentralized communication. ”What emerges is a remarkably strong system without any single leader,“ observes Noa Pinter-Wollman, a behavioral ecologist at UCLA who studies ant colonies. This distributed approach to traffic management could prove far more adaptable than our current top-down systems.
Human drivers, focused on personal speed advantage, inevitably cause jams. “We prioritize individual interests, which leads to congestion,” explains Nicola Pugno, an engineering professor at Italy’s University of Trento who contributed to the research. This fundamental difference in approach suggests that future autonomous vehicles, if properly programmed, could revolutionize traffic flow by adopting ant-like cooperation. Imagine a network of self-driving cars constantly communicating with nearby vehicles to maintain steady speeds and safe following distances, eliminating the stop-and-go patterns that waste time and fuel.
While ants show great flexibility by making paths wider or even moving upside down in narrow spaces, cars today cannot do the same. However, Nishinari offers one simple lesson from ants that all drivers can use: keep a safe distance. Leaving enough space between cars helps reduce sudden stops that often lead to unexplained traffic slowdowns.
12. What is the main purpose of scientists studying ants in relation to traffic systems
A. To understand how ants avoid predators.
B. To develop smarter self-driving car systems.
C. To learn how ants build their colonies.
D. To study the chemical signals ants use.
13. Why can ants avoid traffic jams even at high densities
A. They travel in small groups with consistent spacing and speed.
B. They rely on a central authority to coordinate their movements.
C. They use chemical signals to communicate with each other.
D. They frequently overtake other ants to avoid congestion.
14. How can ant colonies inspire future vehicle network design
A. It will rely on a central authority for coordination.
B. It will mimic the top-down systems currently in use.
C. It will operate through decentralized communication.
D. It will prioritize individual speed over collective efficiency.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. Ant Colonies: A Model for Future Traffic Systems
B. Human Drivers: The Cause of Traffic Congestion
C. Self-Driving Cars: The Science Behind Them
D. Decentralized Communication: The Future of Traffic

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。
Next to our house lived an old couple, who, accustomed to country life, were unwilling to move to the city to live with their son and stuck in a lonely existence for many years. It seemed that they didn’t feel like making any new connections with others, including their next-door neighbours.
The neighborhood kids nicknamed the strange old couple Crazy Jack and Ruby Rednose. Rumor (流言，传言) was that they sat inside and drank tea all day. The only words we ever heard from them were “Keep out of our rosebushes!” The rosebushes crawled along the fence. Or rather, they served as a fence between our house and theirs, overgrowing the support.
I was eleven at the time and the oldest of our family girls. A suitable playing court was a headache problem for us when we felt like playing softball games, which was our favourite sport then. We should have played our softball games elsewhere to avoid hurting the roses, but we secretly enjoyed annoying Crazy Jack and Ruby Rednose.
One day, we had a softball game in our yard. Mary was trying to catch a fly ball. She stumbled (绊倒) over one of Ruby Rednose’s rosebushes and fell on top of several more. Just at that moment, Ruby Rednose sprang out and ran toward Mary. She screamed angrily, “Look at what you’ve doneto our family’s roses! You’ve always been a trouble. You have no idea what this rosebush means to me!”
Hearing this, my sisters and I ran into our house. Breathlessly, we told Mom what had happened. “Girls, I have told you not to play softball near those e outside right now and help me fix them.” “Mom, we thought you didn’t like the couple,” we protested. “They’re mean to us.” Mom just glared at us. We followed her outside to help repair the rose fence. While Mom was examining the damaged roses, Ruby slowly walked out. She looked sad. And it wasn’t her nose that was red, but her eyes.

Paragraph 2:
A few weeks later, the plants all came back to life.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Ruby walked over to my mother, we girls holding our breath. We waited to see who would shout first and what terrible things would be said. “We are sorry about the flowers. The girls will fix them and help weed the roses.” said Mom. My sisters and I looked at each other in horror, but Ruby smiled through her tears. “I know we’re particular about these roses, but they’re very special because they remind me of my mother.” Soon both women were down on their knees examining the damaged bushes together.
A few weeks later, the plants all came back to life. My mother and Ruby worked together on the roses all summer and many summers to follow. So did my sisters and I. A friendship was formed between the families. Ruby became part of our family, spending many happy hours at our house, especially during countless birthdays, graduations and weddings. And the rose fence wasn’t a fence any longer. My mother had turned it into a bridge.
