There were doors on the walls of the hall, but none of them was open. Alice couldn't go out. She became sad.
Suddenly she found a little three-legged table which was made of glass. There was a tiny golden key on it, and Alice thought it might be the key to one of the doors.

Do you know anything about smelly-but-tasty food in China Have you tasted some of them before Not everybody can accept these foods. However, for people who love them, they are like gifts from the heaven. Today, let's see what's on “smelly food menu” in different cities in China.
Dou zhi (豆汁)
A typical snack in Beijing food culture, dou zhi, is famous for its special smell and its long history. In the old days, it was sold in Beijing's streets and hutong, and both the poor and the rich loved it for its low price and effects to make people less tired in summer. Usually, people have dou zhi with several snacks such as pickles (腌菜) and sesame seed pancakes (芝麻烧饼) .
Stinky mandarin fish (臭鳜鱼)
Invented around 200 years ago, stinky mandarin fish is a famous Hui-styled dish. The pickling (腌渍) of the fish is the key to the whole cooking.

After several days, you can cook the fish with other vegetables.

Jiang Ping, a 17-year-old student at a vocational school (职业学校) in Jiangsu Province in China, has done something amazing. She got the12th place in the first round (回合) of a big math competition, the 2024Alibaba Global Mathematic s Competition. This is really impressive because she didn't go to high school or college, and she competed against students from famous universities like Peking University and MIT.
Jiang Ping's excellent achievement in the math competition has caught the eyes of many people and has made us think about the ways students are chosen for schools in China. Jiang, who is learning fashion design (服装设计) at a vocational school instead of a traditional high school, has mostly learned math on her own. Luckily, a math teacher noticed her talent and tried everything he could to her help in learning. Their study experience is like the story of a talented horse and its wise trainer.
Jiang Ping's passion (热情) for math is amazing, especially when she majors (以… 为专业) in fashion design but not in math. She's spent a lot of her free time studying hard math ideas, and she's even read Partial Differential Equations by Lawrence C. Evans, which is written in English. Even though it's difficult for her to understand the language, she doesn't give up. She uses a dictionary to help her and writes down everything she learns in her notebooks. These notebooks show how much she knows and likes math.
▲ It should not be only about getting degrees from famous schools. It should be about helping each person to be the best they can be by focusing on their special talents and qualities.
Jiang Ping's success shows us that academic (学业的) achievement s are not the only way to success. Where you come from doesn't decide where you'll end up. With passion and strong will, you can overcome any challenge.
52. What kind of school does Jiang Ping study in
A. A traditional high school. B. A vocational school.
C. A university. D. A college.

B. She got the 12th place in the first round of a big math competition.
C. She mainly studies math as her major in the vocational school.
D. Her experience won't encourage people to follow their dreams'

① When we face difficulty, good friends are there to help us through the hard times. They will be there to talk us through it with their calm, wise words and friendly encouragement. Even if you don't find the solution right away, at least they provide a shoulder for you to cry on before taking action. We all know a friend in need is a friend indeed. However, who can be our friends
② “What! You, too I thought I was the only one.” Have you ever said this to someone If so, you may have ended up becoming friends with this person. It seems that similarity often helps people make friends. A Greek philosopher (哲学家) once said, “Friendship is a matter of similarity. We love those who are like ourselves.”
③ There is some science behind this idea. Scientists from the University of California said friends have similar brains. Scientists invited 42 university students to take part in science research. Each student watched the same set of videos, which included a comedy, a talk show and a soccer match. Meanwhile, scientists scanned (扫描) their brains and recorded their brain activity.
④ According to their scans, friends who watched the same videos reacted (反应) in similar ways. Similar parts of their brains reacted while watching the videos, especially parts that are about learning and memory. However, people who weren't friends had different reactions to the same videos.
⑤ “Having similar close friends may be useful because it reinforces one's own values, opinions and interests.” A scientist in the research said.
⑥ But brain similarity is not the only thing that can influence friendship. There are many other factors (因素) we should think about. For example, friends should help and respect each other. Recently, scientists from a University in Germany found something unusual. They discovered friendship also depends on how physically close you are to someone. They did research with first-year college students in the university. They found students who sat close to each other became friends more easily and it was easier for them to keep the friendship. That is quite different from what we have known for years.
56. What can we learn from the passage about friendship
A. 8 milar parts of friends' brains reacted while watching the same videos.
B. People who aren't friends have the same reactions to the same videos.
C. Brain similarity is the only thing that can influence friendship.
D. How close you are to someone has nothing to do with making friends.
57. What does the underlined word “reinforce” mean
A. 控制 B. 减弱 C. 加强 D. 放任
58. Which of the following shows the structure of this passage
(①=Para. 1, ②=Para. 2, ③=Para. 3, ④=Para. 4, ⑤=Para. 5, ⑥=Para. 6)
A. B. C. D.
59. What's the writer's main purpose in writing the passage
A. To encourage people to make more friends.
B. To share factors which influence friendship.

Another tea drinking country is England. In England, the late afternoon is “teatime”. Almost everyone has a cup of tea then. Friends usually sit together and make tea in a teapot and drink it with milk and sugar. They also eat cakes, cookies and little sandwiches at teatime. When enjoying the teatime, friends will have a deeper understanding of each other.
In the United States, people drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals. Americans usually use tea bags to make their tea. Tea bags are faster and easier than making tea in teapots. What's more, it's much healthier than coffee. That's why more and more Americans choose to drink tea.
