In modern times, we admire the bravery of astronauts. We 36 into the sky and wonder if they will ever return from their voyage (航行) into the great unknown.
It’s hard to believe, but only a short while ago, our own earth was as huge and unknown as 37 is today. Only 500 years ago, most of the earth was not explored. Sailing too far away from land was as 38 then as it is today for astronauts to sail into outer space.
But humans have always wanted to learn about the world, no matter what the dangers. The great Chinese 39 , Zheng He, proves this point.
In 1405, at the request of the Emperor, he left China for the first of 40 voyages of discovery that he made between 1405 and 1433. The fleet of ships given to Zheng for these voyages was 41 as the “fleet of friendship”, for this was the purpose of his trips.
On each trip Zheng ordered more than 20,000 men on hundreds of ships. He sailed the South China Sea, and 42 the Indian Ocean to eastern Africa. 43 , he visited 30 countries and began trade with them. At each port, the Chinese sailors made 44 with the local people.
On one voyage to 45 , Zheng bought some rare animals for the Emperor. He 46 fair prices for a lion, a leopard, an ostrich, and a giraffe, and then brought them to the Emperor’s palace. On each return visit, the locals remembered the Chinese sailors and 47 them gifts.
It can be said that Zheng’s seven voyages of discovery were important 48 people learned more and more about the earth that lay 49 China’s coast. 50 important, however, were the friendly diplomatic(外交) relations that were begun so long ago. In 1419, seventeen countries sent officers back to China with Zheng. This was the beginning of a long friendship between China and its neighbours in South Asia and beyond to Africa.

The 2022 Qatar World Cup brought us wonderful games and let us see the great show of old legends and the rise of new superstars. Here are three students’ favourite soccer players.
Kylian Mbappe, who is a sports hero in France, is the most impressive player in my heart. He won the 2018 World Cup title at the age of 20. He was the highest goal scorer in this World Cup with eight goals. Will he become the new king of soccer I think so. The reasons are that he trains hard and never gives up when facing difficulty. And he is indeed no solo (单独行动的) artist, either. His spirit of hard work and teamwork cheers me up.
Zhao Xuanyu, 14
My deepest impression of the Qatar World Cup belongs to Lionel Messi, the captain of Argentina. As a great team, it was surprising when Argentina lost its first game against Saudi Arabia. People started to doubt Messi’s ability. However, Messi didn’t give up. He believed in himself and his teammates. They practiced harder than before and fixed their problems quickly. Finally, Argentina beat Mexico, Poland, Australia, the Netherlands, Croatia and France, and won the World Cup title. From all this, I now believe that where there is a will, there is a way.
Huang Yixiang, 15
I’m a huge fan of Luka Modric, the captain of Croatia’s national soccer team. He led his team to win second place in the 2018 Russia World Cup and he won the Ballon d’Or in the same year. At an early age, he was a shepherd (牧羊人) and his country was experiencing war. But he fell in love with soccer. Through his efforts, he became more and more powerful. In the Qatar World Cup, he led his team to third place, but he believes that his country can win a World Cup title in the future. I not only enjoy his wonderful performance, but also his spirit -never give up and always keep his condition.
Lu Yunzi, 15

B. Argentina beat 5 teams in the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
C. Luka Modric lived a poor life when he was very young.
D. Kylian Mbappe scored 6 goals in the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

There was a businessman who was deep in debt (债务) and could see no way out. He sat on a park bench, head in his hands.
Suddenly, an old man appeared before him. “I can see that something is troubling you,” he said. After listening to the businessman’s story, the old man wrote out a check, and put it in his hand, saying, “Take it and pay me back here exactly one year from today.” Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come.
The businessman saw in his hand a check for $500,000, signed by John D. Rockefeller, one of the richest men in the world!
“I can pay off my debts in a second!” he realized. But instead, the businessman decided to put the check in his safe. Just knowing it was there might give him the power to save his business, he thought.
He went back and worked hard to make his business successful. Within several months, he was out of debt and making money once again.
Exactly one year later, he returned to the park with the check. At the agreed-upon time, the old man appeared. Behind the old man was a nurse. The nurse spoke to the businessman and said that the old man was mentally ill and was always telling people he was John D. Rockefeller.
The businessman was shocked to hear this. All year long he’d been buying and selling, believing that he had half a million dollars behind him. Suddenly, he realized that it wasn’t the money, real or imagined, that had turned his life around. It was his newfound self-confidence that gave him the power to achieve anything he went after.
( )57. The businessman probably felt ________ when he received the check.
A. anxious B. excited C. angry D. worried
( )58. The businessman put the check away because ________.
A. he didn’t want it to be stolen B. having the money brought him confidence
C. he hoped to find its real owner D. he was scared of spending it
( )59. What happened at the agreed-upon time the next year
A. The old man asked the businessman to pay him back at once.
B. The businessman returned the check to the old man.
C. The old man didn’t remember he was John D. Rockefeller.
D. The businessman found out that the old man had a mental illness.
( )60. What does the story teach us
A. Poor people are less confident than the rich.
B. It is easy for rich people to become poor.
C. Self-confidence plays a big role in one’s life.
D. Mentally ill people understand life’s basic truths.
D
It’s widely believed that Chinese is one of the most difficult languages in the world. For one thing, Chinese has tens of thousands of characters. And its writing system is also one of the main challenges to all Chinese learners. More importantly, the language has different tones (声调), so how you speak a word can completely change its meaning. For example, “ma” with the first Chinese tone means “mom”, but with the third tone, “ma”, it means “horse”.
However, according to the Ministry of Education in China, the Chinese language learning is available in more than 180 countries and regions around the world. 76 countries have included the Chinese language in their national education systems and nearly 200 million people have received Chinese language training.
With so many interesting foreign languages to learn, why do they choose Chinese For one, China plays an important role in the world events. Learning Chinese may help one find a good job. Also, China has a long history with rich culture and its culture and cooking styles have long influenced its neighbors and the West. Knowing the language also makes traveling around China easier and more enjoyable.
As for learning Chinese, there is no magic way. Just spend time practicing it. Listen and speak as often as possible. Listen to Chinese music and watch Chinese movies and shows. Try to speak with native Chinese speakers and encourage them to correct your mistakes. Or practice speaking on your own. Read traditional Chinese stories to understand its culture. Or try reading a Chinese newspaper. As for writing, practice by writing Chinese characters in a notebook. As you improve, create sentences with them. In all, you have to be patient, and you really have to push yourself hard.
( )61. How many reasons are given to show Chinese is difficult to learn
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
( )62. The word “available” in the second paragraph means ________ in Chinese.
A. 可获得的 B. 可能的 C. 禁止的 D. 普遍的
( )63. What can we learn from the Ministry of Education
A. Less than 76 million people learn Chinese now.
B. Students from 180 countries must learn Chinese at school.
C. There are 200 foreign schools having Chinese language training.
D. Chinese language learning has drawn more and more foreigners’ attention.
( )64. Which of the following is mentioned in Para.3
①China’s history ②China’s role in the world
③China’s places of interest ④China’s education system
A. ①② B. ③④ C. ①③ D. ②④
( )65. What does the last paragraph want to tell us
A. Learning Chinese is magic. B. It’s easy to start learning Chinese.
C. It takes hard work to learn Chinese. D. Speaking is more important than writing.
B. 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，从方框内所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺，选项中有一项为多余选项。
In Thailand, people do not eat with chopsticks, like in China, Japan and Korea. They use spoons and forks. 66 People will cut up most food before meals. If you need to cut up food during a meal, use the side of your spoon first and then use your fork.
67 People in Thailand use spoons more often than forks. If you are left-handed, keep the spoon in your left hand and the fork in your right hand.
People in Thailand like eating rice. The rice is not on the same plate as the other food. Each person eats rice on his own plate. It’s not necessary to finish all your rice or all your food. 68 If you eat up all the food on your plate, it means you want more.
69 Because the host will ask you two or three times if you want more food. It’s the same for drinks. During the meal, never empty your cup or glass. When it’s less than half full, your host or your neighbor will fill it again. 70 It’s polite to fill the glasses for your neighbors. That means you must keep an eye on your neighbor’s glass during the meal.
A. They often use knives. B. They never use knives. C. Never fill your own glass. D. It’s good to leave a little on your plate. E. The spoon is more important than the fork. F. You don’t need to worry if the food on the plate is not enough.
第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共50分）
五、阅读与回答问题。（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
Shang kings, especially, believed in the power of their ancestors (祖先) They always wanted to ask their ancestors questions about crops, the weather, wars and the ruling family. They used oracle bones(甲骨) to get answers to their questions.
First, the king would ask a question: “Will the weather be sunny tomorrow ” The priest (牧师) wrote the king’s question on an oracle bone, which was just a turtle or other animal bone. Then, the priest heated a metal stick. Once heated, the stick was held against the bone. The heat caused a series of small cracks (裂缝) to appear on the surface of the bone. Those cracks formed a picture. Then a special oracle reader, usually a woman, would read the cracks, and provide the king with an answer to his question.
Archaeologists (考古学家) have found thousands of oracle bones, each with a question on it. The questions on these oracle bones have told archaeologists a great deal about daily life during the Shang Dynasty. The thing is, the questions did not actually say “Will it be sunny tomorrow ” What the question actually said was something like this, “If I sacrifice (牺牲) 8 men or 3 oxen, will it be sunny tomorrow ”
A great many people and animals were sacrificed during Shang times so that Shang kings and queens could ask their ancestors questions. The people they sacrificed might be slaves, or people who were sick, or people caught in war, or someone who made the rich unhappy, or a rich man who made the king angry. No one was safe. The only thing that was important to the Shang kings and queens was getting an answer to their question.

In our life, there are many choices which may be the turning point in our lifetime. So we must make them c 86 . Let’s see how Mike and Kirsty make their own choices.
Mike’s parents didn’t get a good education. He was the f 87 person in his family to go to university, and when he left school, he found a job in a bank in London. At first Mike e 88 it, and after ten years he had a good place and got well paid but he hated it. He needed a job which was w 89 doing, so he decided to become a teacher.

He thinks it’s the right c 91 for him!
Kirsty left school at 16 and learned about food at her parents’ health food shop. Kirsty was allergic (过敏的) to m 92 and nuts, and she couldn’t find any no-milk ice cream she could eat.

Next, she wants to hang out with friends on Saturday night, but her father says she can’t stay out at night and that it’s not safe. Finally, her parents often read her diaries without letting her know. She has talked with them about the problems but it’s no use. She wants to turn to her teacher for help.
