Last summer I went to one of the world’s most famous historical places, the Forbidden City in Beijing, China. It was the home of the emperors (皇帝) of the last two dynasties in China. the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The Forbidden City was built in 1420. The palace has over 10,000 rooms. It was where the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers.
In Mandarin (普通话), the Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City. However, the color of the palace itself is not purple. The color purple means the great emperors of China have powerful right. It was so sacred (神圣的) that the commoners could not even dream of ever going in.
The emperor also had some of the largest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City. During Chinese New Year, the emperor would invite all the members of his family and his officials to a banquet. The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes. It was such an expensive banquet that it could feed a commoner’s family for three generations (代) .
Right now the Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world. Everyone can go in there. It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques (古董) and treasures in it. I really learned a lot about the Chinese culture and its history from this trip to the Forbidden City. It was like a dream come true to go on the trip and see the things that I had always wanted to see.
36.How long is the history of the Forbidden City

Jia Ling is a popular Chinese actress and director (导演) who has recently made headlines on Weibo, a social media platform in China. She is known for her funny performances in the Spring Festival Gala and for her successful movie Hi, Mom in 2021. Jia Ling has been working on a new movie called YOLO (you only live once), where she plays the lead role and serves as the director.
In a recent Weibo post, Jia Ling shared that she had been working hard on the YOLO movie for a year, during which she lost a surprising amount of weight. YOLO was shown during the Spring Festival holiday, a time when many Chinese people went to the movies. The movie tells the story of a character named Le Ying who meets a boxing (拳击) coach and starts a new journey in life. She said that the movie is not about weight loss but about learning to love yourself.
Jia Ling’s weight loss journey has sparked a lot of interest on social media, with many people discussing her transformation (转变). Some experts warn against rapid weight loss methods and recommend a healthier one. However, Jia Ling’s dedication (奉献) to her role in the movie is admirable (令人钦羡的). Fans have seen Jia Ling’s hard work pay off on the big screen.
41.Which of the following is NOT Jia Ling’s occupation (职业)
A. Actress. B. Director. C. Boxer. D. Performer.
42.According to Jia Ling, the movie YOLO is exactly about ________.
A. weight loss B. learning to love yourself

Is it shi (是) or si (斯) in the sentence “Thus when Heaven is about to confer a great office on any man (故天将降大任于是/斯人也)…” Not long ago, people had a discussion online about this. Most people “clearly remember” that it’s si, while their childhood textbooks say it’s shi.
It shows how unreliable (不可靠的) our memory can be. According to US psychologist Fairn Brynie, memories can be influenced by imagination, belief and time. Many studies have shown that “feeling sure” about a memory sometimes has nothing to do with the facts.
Attitudes and beliefs change our memory.
Scientists at Cornell University, US, told college students a story about a man who walked out without paying a restaurant bill. The first group was told that the man “liked to steal”. The second group was told that he left because he got an emergency (紧急的) phone call.
One week later the first group remembered a higher bill—10 to 25 percent more than the bill actually was. The second group remembered a lower bill. The study showed that how we expect or believe things to happen can distort (扭曲) our memories.
Remembering things that never happened.
In another experiment (实验), people watched a film and were asked: “How fast was the white car going when it passed the barn (谷仓) while traveling along the country road ” Actually there was no barn in the film. But about 20 percent of the students said they had seen the barn. Northwestern University scientist Kenneth Paller said that parts of the brain for really seeing an object and imagining an object overlap (重叠) . So imagination after getting a hint (暗示) could leave a memory trace (痕迹) in the brain.
Si or shi.
In the case of si or shi, some people said that si sounds more like ancient Chinese. That’s why most people “clearly remember” si. On the Internet, the version (版本) of si is also more widespread than shi, giving people a wrong hint.
46.In the first experiment, the first group remembered a higher bill because _______.
A. the students forgot the bill completely
B. the students thought the man was rich enough
C. the scientists made the students believe the man was bad
D. the scientists told the students that the man should pay more
47.What does the underlined word “ hint” in the second experiment refer to
A. The sights in the film.
B. Kenneth Paller’s words.
C. A real barn in students’ memories.
D. The word “barn” in the question.
48.What can we learn from the case of si or shi
A. Feelings can influence people’s memories.
B. The version of shi is more widespread.
C. People’s memories are always unreliable.
D. There was no sound of shi in ancient Chinese.
49.The writer introduces two experiments in the text to _______.
A. lead in the topic B. give explanations
C. ask questions D. make comparisons (对比)
50.Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. Are you really sure B. Have you forgotten yet
C. What should be remembered D. How is the memory improved

Jane was on her way home at 6 o’clock. It was getting dark. As she drove into her community, she noticed a man. She saw the man walking along the sidewalk next to some houses. He didn’t live in any of those houses. She had seen this man several times before. He looked like a criminal (罪犯).
She drove by him. He looked at her car as she drove by. She continued driving and watched him in her rear view mirror (后视镜) . She got to the corner and stopped. She continued to watch him walking in her direction. Suddenly, he turned left up a driveway (车道). A red SUV was parked in the driveway right next to the sidewalk.

She called the police and described the man. The police officer said he knew who the man was. The people in the community called two or three times this week to report him walking by. But the police couldn’t arrest (逮捕) him for walking around unless they caught him with stolen things. “But he was testing that SUV door to see if it was unlocked,” she said.
“I’m sorry,” said the officer. “That’s forbidden (禁止) according to the law. If you see him actually steal something, please give us a call.”

Have you heard of the phrase “tiger moms” It means mothers who are strict with their children. They believe that this encourages kids 1 (become) the best they can be.
Many believe that most 2 (Asia) people often put their children’s studies above everything else. On the other hand, western parents are seen as caring more about their children’s self-esteem (自尊) and feelings. Of course, the 3 (true) is not that simple. Parents have their own ways of raising their children—no matter 4 they come from. I know one parent in the US who takes her daughter to all kinds of after-school activities, 5 (leave) her with no time to herself. And there are plenty of Chinese parents who spoil (溺爱) their children. For example, some parents carry kids’ schoolbags or tie their shoes, even if their kids are old enough to do such things.
I think parenting takes a mix of 6 strong discipline (训导) and emotional sensitivity (感性的关怀). My own mother is 7 excellent example. She expected me to get high grades and pushed me to take piano lessons. But she was also generous about allowing me to have some time to 8 (I) to do what I wanted. In the end, I felt like I ended up becoming a 9 (good) person because of this. Even those piano lessons that I 10 (like) at first ended up helping me find my love for music.
