①Living in China has made me realize how convenient life can be. It has been even better than I imagined.
②When I first arrived in China, I was pleasantly surprised. The public transport in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai is excellent. Subways can take you almost anywhere in the city, helping you avoid traffic jams and get around faster. Highspeed trains are another great example—they can take you from Beijing to Shanghai in under five hours.
③Another great thing about China is how easy it is to get services. If my bike breaks and needs fixing, or if I need daily necessities, electronics (电), or even medicine, I just make a phone call or tap on my phone a few times. Since almost everything can be bought or ordered online, I don’t need to go far to a supermarket or store. This is one of the main reasons I’ve stayed in China so long—it’s something I haven’t experienced in other countries.
④What’s more, China’s convenience doesn’t only lie in the speed of services, but also in their userfriendliness. The whole system (系统) is designed with user experience in mind. For example, the apps I use for transport or food delivery are very simple, even for those who are not good with technology. Payment methods are also simple and easy. You don’t need to spend time learning how to use them. This makes it easy for everyone to get things done without trouble.
⑤Life in China has become more relaxing and efficient (高效的) because of this convenience. I believe that as technology continues to develop, life here will become even more convenient in the future.
32. How long does it take to travel between Beijing and Shanghai by highspeed train
A．More than five hours.
B．About six hours.
C．Less than five hours.
D．Over six hours.

D．Fu Xing, a Chinese student who is proud of Chinese culture.

Everyone loves receiving gifts, and across cultures, presents are a way to show care and love. However, traditions are not the same in every country.
As a European living in China, I’ve seen some interesting differences. For example, while fruit and milk are common gifts here, in my culture, they might be a better choice when you are visiting someone in the hospital.
When you get invited to a dinner party, a bottle of fine wine is also a good gift. Still, it’s best to check if your hosts drink alcohol (酒).
Many Europeans will typically open their presents right away, except in places like Germany. It’s also important to take off the price tag (标签).
What if you don’t like your gift In Spain, you still need to say you love the gift to avoid hurting the other person’s feelings. But if they remember to leave the receipt (收据) inside the gift, which is a very common practice in Spain, you can just exchange it for something else.
Regifting (礼物转送) is another good idea, as long as the present looks new. Jennifer Molski from Chicago has turned regifting into a nice project, collecting gifts people didn’t want for those in need, CBS News reported.
How the present looks is also important. However, by using wrapping paper (包装纸) for every present we buy, we produce a lot of waste. Germans value highquality (高品质的) wrapping paper, but many are now choosing newspaper or maps to help the environment.
Do Europeans give money as gifts Yes. Polish couples, for example, often request cash (现金) at weddings (婚礼) to cover the cost of the venue (场地) and meals.
Finally, remember: It’s the thought that counts, not the size or the cost of the gift.
36. What might be a good gift to take to someone in the hospital in the author’s culture
A．Books. B．Fruit. C．Some cash. D．A bottle of fine wine.
37. Why do some Spanish people leave the receipt inside presents
A．To show the price of the gift.
B．To make it easier to regift the item.
C．To show respect to the receiver.
D．To allow the receiver to exchange the gift.
38. How can people deal with the gift they don’t like, according to Paragraph 6
A．They can sell it.
B．They can return it to the giver.
C．They can give it to someone else.
D．They can take it back to the store.
39. What is the passage mainly about
A．The giftgiving culture in different countries.
B．Recent changes in giftgiving in Europe.
C．Why we should regift unwanted presents.
D．How people in Spain give and receive gifts.
D
Sand, whether it’s on the beach or in the desert, seems simple and the same. But in fact, there are many differences between the two types of sand. Let’s explore these differences and learn about them.
Beach sand is usually made of small pieces of shells, coral, and other marine organisms (海洋生物). Over time, waves and the running water break these larger pieces into smaller ones, which then form the sand we see on beaches. Beach sand is often smooth (光滑的) and rounded, giving people a pleasant feeling. It’s also rich in minerals (矿物) and nutrients (营养物) that come from the ocean and land around it.
Because of the minerals, beach sand can support many kinds of marine life. They live on the beach, and they are basic to the health of beach ecosystems.
Desert sand, on the other hand, is made up of tiny pieces of rock and stone that have been broken down by wind. It’s usually dry and not smooth, so it can be uncomfortable to touch. Desert sand is short of the minerals and nutrients found in beach sand, making the desert a much harder environment for life to live in.
Because of the hard environment, some plants and animals have special body structures (结构) for living in deserts. For example, cacti (仙人掌) have developed thick leaves to store water, while animals like camels have developed to store water in their bodies.
Beach sand and desert sand are different in their formation (形成), shapes, and the environment they are in. Beach sand is rich in minerals and nutrients, supporting different kinds of marine life, while desert sand is dry and poor, with few plants and animals able to live there. Understanding these differences can help enjoy the beauty of each type of sand.
40. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A．The beach sand.
B．Minerals.
C．Running water.
D．Nutrients.
41. Why does beach sand often feel smooth and rounded
A．Because it is made of large pieces of coral.
B．Because it is rich in minerals and nutrients.
C．Because waves and water break it down over time.
D．Because it is formed along the way from the desert.
42. Which question is answered in Paragraph 4
A．Why is desert sand important
B．How does desert sand form and feel
C．Where do animals live in the desert
D．What animals are found in the desert
43. What’s the writer’s purpose for writing the passage
A．To describe the special beauty of sand places.
B．To introduce the challenges of living in deserts.
C．To show the differences between beach sand and desert sand.
D．To talk about the formation of both beach sand and desert sand.
