Dear Frank,
How’s it going You asked me about the ways of learning Chinese in your last letter. Chinese is useful and very interesting. It’s one of the most important languages in the world.
There are many ways to learn Chinese. First, you can study by watching Chinese TV programs or listening to tapes. Second, read Chinese books more. The more you read, the better you will learn Chinese. Third, try to write as much as possible in Chinese. Last but not least, you should try to use Chinese every day wherever you go.
I think you will learn Chinese well one day. Best wishes to you!
Yours,

阅读下面五篇材料,从每题所给的A,B,C三个选项中,选出最佳选项回答问题或完成句子。
A
I have returned to my hometown of Wilson Creek after an absence of 10 years. So many things have changed around here. When I left Wilson Creek, there was a small lake in the south-east of the town. They have filled in the lake and built a large shopping mall and a swimming pool there. They have also built a new post office just across from my old school.
The baseball stadium (体育场) in the north-east of Wilson Creek has also changed completely. They have now added a new stand (看台) where probably a few thousand people could sit. It looks really great.
The biggest changes have taken place in the town center. It has become a pedestrianised area (步行区) and you can't drive there anymore. They have built a large square and a cinema. There is also a new street café and a grassy area.
My street looks just the same as it always has been, but a public library has appeared on the next street. There used to be a park there but they have cut down all the trees, which is a pity. The library now has a large green area in front of it but it's not the same as when the park was there.
Another change is the new restaurants that have opened in Wilson Creek. A Chinese restaurant and an Italian restaurant have opened in the town center, and a Mexican restaurant has opened near my home, which is where I am going tonight!
( )1. The shopping mall is where a _______ used to be.
A. lake B. school C. post office
( )2. Where is the baseball stadium in Wilson Creek
A. In the south-east. B. In the north-east. C. Near the writer's home.
( )3. The writer thinks it is a pity that _______.
A. his street hasn't changed
B. the park isn't there anymore
C. the library doesn't have a green area
( )4. What will the writer do tonight
A. Watch a movie in the town center cinema.
B. Watch a baseball match at the stadium.
C. Go to a Mexican restaurant.

“Joe, did you book your ticket yet ” I asked. “No. I changed my mind. I’m not going to go.” “What You aren’t going to Australia We’ve been planning this vacation for months!” “Yeah, I don’t feel like it. We’ll go some other time.”
Over the coming weeks, I tried to get my friend to reconsider,but failed. Our trip to Australia was off. And none of my friends wanted to replace him. If I wanted to travel, it would have to be on my own.
It’s taught me that if I wait for others, I’ll never go anywhere. But there are places I want to visit, people to see, experiences to have, and food to try—and only so little time to achieve it all . So I refuse to wait. I won’t let others keep me from realizing my dreams. It can be scary travelling alone, especially when you’ve never done it before. But, to me, growing old without experiencing everything you want from life is more frightening.
If you’ve been putting off a trip because you’ve waiting for someone to go with—stop.Just go.Don’t let others hold your back from your dreams.Trust me,along the way you’ll make plenty of friends. More than that, travelling alone gives you real freedom. You wake up and it’s just you—what you want, where you want, when you want. In that freedom and great space of possibility, you meet yourself.
____ —who to trust, how to make friends, how to find your way around alone. That’s the greatest reward(奖赏) of travelling alone. Each time you go away, you learn to become a little more independent and confident.
Travelling alone is not for everyone. Some people return home soon after starting off, some cry for weeks before accepting it, and others just accept it right away. But you’ll never learn that if you don’t travel once by yourself. Whether a weekend away, a two-week vacation, or a trip around the world, try it at least once.
( )5. What does the writer think is more frightening
Travelling alone for the first time
Waiting for others during a long trip
Failing to experience life in your growth.
( )6. The underlined words “hold you back from your dreams” in Paragraph 4
probably means “________”.
get you out of trouble
stop you from travelling
keep you waiting for them
( )7.Which of the following can best replace _____ in paragraph 5.
Getting in trouble teaches you how to survive
Experiencing different culture makes you a full person
Making a travelling plan is the most important lesson you need to learn
( )8. The passage is mainly about _____.
how to travel safely
when to travel
why to travel alone
C
Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unlikely, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.
When I was a little girl, I never dared to ask strangers the way. So, I used to walk round in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.
Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone asks me the way somewhere, I would say, “ Sorry, I am a stranger here.”
Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn’t want to keep him waiting.
When I just got to my office, the secretary(秘书) introduced the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other!
( ) 9. The writer always doesn’t give people directions because ______.
she’s a stranger to the city.
she doesn’t know the people
she’s afraid of giving wrong directions
( ) 10. The Friendship Building is the place where the writer ______.
lives B. studies C. works
( ) 11.The underlined word “embarrassed” in the last paragraph means “______”.
尴尬的 B. 困惑的 C. 生气的
( ) 12. What will probably happen at the end of the story
The writer won’t say “Sorry, I am a stranger here.” any more.
The writer will explain to the stranger why she didn’t help him.
The writer will lead the stranger to the Friendship Building herself.

Are you a tea drinker If so, you’re not alone. Every day millions of cups of this popular drink are drunk around the world, and it has been that way for thousands of years. The oldest discovered tea is from the Han Dynasty, dating from 206 BC to 220 AD. But it’s thought that the tea trend really took off during the Tang Dynasty in the 8th Century, when it became China’s national drink. Now, Turkey, the Republic of Ireland and the UK are believed to be the biggest tea-drinking nations.
Tea can be drunk in many ways — slurped (吸食), sipped (小口喝) or glugged (大口喝). It can be poured from pots over fire or brewed in the cup using tea bags. And it’s this second way that is causing people worry. Research last year found some expensive tea bags might be leaving billions of microscopic plastic particles (微塑料颗粒) in the cup. Scientists from Canada found that some tea bags dropped high levels of microplastic into water. However, the World Health Organization said such particles in drinking water did not appear to be dangerous.
Most tea bags are made of paper, with a little plastic used to seal (密封) them shut. This has also led to discussion about whether they can be recycled. Many tea bags are composted (制成堆肥) now. However, the gardener Mike Armitage told the BBC that the plastic in the soil could be washed into streams and rivers and finally out to the sea.
But there’s good news too. Unilever, the owner of the tea brand PG Tips, says their tea bags are made with a little plastic and that they are suitable for composting. And the brand Yorkshire Tea says their tea bags do have plastic, but they’re actively developing recyclable things to replace the plastic.
( )17. What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A. Tea has a long history.
B. Tea is more popular now than before.
C. Many people prefer tea bags.
( )18. What does the underlined word “brew” mean in Chinese
A. 酿造 B. 冲泡 C. 煮沸
( )19. According to Mike Armitage, we can infer that tea bags _______.
could cause water pollution
should be recycled
shouldn’t be produced
( )20. What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A. Tea bags are facing an uncertain future.
B. Plastic pollution is still a big problem around the world.
C. Tea bag producers are trying their best to reduce plastic pollution.

第二节 回答问题(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面的短文,然后根据短文内容简要回答下列问题。
Pandas are not only a national treasure, but are loved around the world. Last August, a very large panda baby was born at a zoo in the US. It was given the name Xiao Qi Ji. The choice was the result of a five-day online vote (投票) that drew nearly 135,000 voters in the US.
“Xiao Qi Ji’s birth proved to be quite inspiring, especially for us during COVID-19.We are connected again in the growth of our little ambassador (大使), and in our shared joy and friendship.” Chinese Ambassador to the US Cui Tiankai said. The furry black-and-white animals have played an important role in the country’s diplomacy (外交). According to the Japanese history, the practice dates back to the Tang Dynasty, when Empress Wu Zetian sent a pair of pandas to the Japanese emperor.
China restarted panda diplomacy in the 1950s when China sent two pandas to the Moscow Zoo. By 1982, China had given 23 pandas to nine different countries. However, most of them have died. China stopped giving away pandas in the early 1980s. Instead, the animals are lent to other countries. In general, they are to be returned to China after 10 years.
The pandas’ eating habits is an important reason why these cute “diplomats” (someone whose work is diplomacy) can’t continue to be alive in other countries. They live on bamboo shoots. Adult big pandas eat about 40 kilograms of bamboo daily. It takes 10 years for a new crop of bamboo to grow up, and many foreign countries do not have an environment suitable for bamboo growth. This means they have to buy some food from other countries. In August, Calgary Zoo in Canada announced that they couldn’t provide enough fresh bamboo for pandas because of COVID-19, so they had to send two large pandas back to China.
But countries are still trying their best to improve this special type of diplomacy and help save the panda through the knowledge exchange.
How did Americans choose the baby pandas’ name

In which dynasty did people send pandas to Japan

When did China restart the panda diplomacy
