Four popular children’s books
Que Cosas Dice Mi Abuela
Spanish-speaking parents will love this fun book—which was translated into “The things my grandmother says” —in which a grandmother teaches manners (规矩) to her grandchildren and their friends using traditional Spanish-language sayings. Written in the voice of a little boy talking about his regular day, this book will draw the interest of both adults and kids.
I Like Myself!
Parents won’t mind reading the story over and over to their kids because as they pass along the message that their kids are perfect just the way they are—no matter their untidy hair, or whether they are fast or slow, their kids will learn about confidence.
Dragons Love Tacos(炸玉米饼)
While books with a deep message are great, sometimes you and your child just want to read something silly to get the laughs rolling. The New York Times bestseller, Dragons Love Tacos is a great read for kids and parents as it talks about how much dragons really love tacos, but when they eat something spicy (辛辣的) you had better watch out! The book has more words than some of the other picks on our list, so this might be fit for a preschoolers and up.

When I was a teenager, I wrote postcards to show my friends the new places I had explored every time my family took a vacation. I considered postcards as simply a way to share travels until I came across my grandmother’s postcard album.
It was a dark gray leather album, where most of the postcards had pictures that did not reflect a holiday or a travel destination. Instead, the notes were mostly invitations to a dinner party or, a walk the next day.
“Why do these postcards ask you to come to tea ” I asked my grandmother. “Because this is how we communicated before we had a telephone,” she said. “I would post a postcard in the morning mail, and a friend would receive it that afternoon. Then she would post a reply that arrived in my mail the next morning.”
I was surprised. Life without a phone sounded like something out of the world. Connecting by postcard seemed as unexpected as using a carrier pigeon (信鸽). I had forgotten about my grandmother’s postcards until lockdowns (封锁) restricted our trips to seeing our three granddaughters. Remembering my grandmother’s album, I bought several sets of cards and every few weeks, I’d write notes and mail them. The girls sometimes responded with brief thank-you texts.
Then one day I opened my mailbox and spotted three hand-addressed envelopes. They were from my granddaughters, each thanking me for the postcards. The notes captured their disappointment with the pandemic and described how my messages had comforted them.
I had been thinking how my grandmother had accepted the telephone as a new way to keep relationships. Like her, I accepted the girls’ preferred mode of communication and texted my thanks for their letters. However, even as the lockdowns end, I will continue to send them postcards because everyone enjoys receiving a real letter.
4. Why did the author’s grandmother write postcards
A. To share off her travel experiences. B. To show love and care.
C. To kill the time. D. To keep in touch with people.
5. What did the author think of life without a phone

C. It was just as usual. D. It was attractive.

7. Which one should be the title for the text
A. An Old Postcard Album B. New Ways of Communication
C. Love during Lockdowns D. Attraction of Postcards
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了在不同的时期和背景下,明信片对于她和祖母的不同意义。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“It was a dark gray leather album, where most of the postcards had pictures that did not reflect a holiday or a travel destination. Instead, the notes were mostly invitations to a dinner party or, a walk the next day.(那是一本深灰色的皮制相册,里面的大多数明信片上的照片都不是假日或旅行目的地的照片。相反,这些明信片注释的是关于邀请他们参加晚宴或第二天散步的信息。)”根据第三段““Why do these postcards ask you to come to tea ” I asked my grandmother. “Because this is how we communicated before we had a telephone,” she said.”(为什么这些明信片要你来喝茶呢 ”我问我的祖母。“因为在没有电话之前,我们就是这样沟通的,”她说)可知,祖母写明信片的目的主要是联系朋友,传递信息。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“I was surprised. Life without a phone sounded like something out of the world. Connecting by postcard seemed as unexpected as using a carrier pigeon (信鸽). (我很惊讶。没有电话的生活听起来像是天外来客。通过明信片联系就像使用信鸽一样出人意料。)”可知,作者认为没有手机的生活是不可理解的,是难以想象出人意料的。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Like her, I accepted the girls’ preferred mode of communication and texted my thanks for their letters. (和她一样,我接受了女孩们喜欢的交流方式,并发短信感谢她们的来信。)”可知,作者收到孩子们的来信是非常开心的。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“When I was a teenager, I wrote postcards to show my friends the new places I had explored every time my family took a vacation. I considered postcards as simply a way to share travels until I came across my grandmother’s postcard album.( 当我还是个青少年的时候,每次我和家人度假的时候,我都会写明信片向我的朋友们展示我探索过的新地方。我认为明信片只是一种分享旅行的简单方式,直到我发现了我祖母的明信片相册。)”可知,整篇文章是围绕明信片展开的,从作者寄明信片和朋友分享旅行经历,到无意中发现祖母的明信片相册,得知祖母那个时代人们写明信片不同的意义,再到疫情期间,作者给孩子们写明信片,作者和孩子们都收获了不同的心灵感受。D选项“明信片的吸引力”贴切文章标题。故选D。

Do you like Chinese traditional painting and dance They are two important parts of the traditional Chinese art. But what about when they meet each other
This year, a dance drama titled Poetic Dance: The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting (《只此青绿》) was staged on CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala and became popular.
According to CCTV, this poetic dance program was inspired by the 900-year-old Chinese painting A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains (《千里江山图》).

Vast mountains and rivers are coming to life!” Internet user Mo Weisha wrote in a review. “More than a thousand years later, green mountains and rivers still impress people as they did long ago.” Some people even decided to watch the dance again when it was staged in the theaters later. In fact, in recent years, more and more modern shows feature Chinese traditional culture and have received warm welcome. As for the reason, it is due to people’s great love for traditional culture.
“The younger generations have grown up with a more open mind. They accept Chinese culture and are proud of it.” Yao Wei, director of Henan TV Station’s Innovation Center, told China Daily.

A new study has found that all dogs have different personalities—even dogs of the same breed(品种).
Elinor Karlsson studies genetics at the University of Massachusetts. She co-wrote a report about the study, which appeared recently in the publication Science.
Karlsson said, “Every dog really is an individual,” noting that there is “a huge amount of difference” even between dogs that look the same.
At a New York dog park, dog owners talked about the different characteristics of their pets. Elizabeth Kelly owns an English springer spaniel. She called her dog friendly, but also “kind of the queen bee.” In other words, her dog likes to act like it is in charge of other dogs. Suly described her yellow Labrador as “calm, lazy and shy.”
The idea of dog breeds is quite recent. Around 160 years ago, humans began to breed dogs to have certain physical qualities, such as fur, color and ear shape.
Karlsson said her aim was to learn how much a dog’s breed affects their behavior. The answer Breed does not decide an individual dog’s personality.
Karlsson’s team gathered information from 18,000 dog owners and studied the genetic code of over 2,000 dogs. The researchers found that some qualities are based on genetics. However, it is not sure that two dogs of the same breed will behave in the same way.
For example, huskies and beagles, may be more likely to howl—or make a long, loud barking sound. But many of these dogs do not howl, as owner observations showed.
12. What do we know about Karlsson’s report
A. She wrote it by herself.
B. It was published in Science.
C. She finished it after graduation.
D. It is of little value to her study.
13. What does the underlined “the queen bee” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. A bee that behaves busily.
B. A dog whose name is Queen.
C. A bee that serves the whole group.
D. A dog acting as if it is the most important.
14. What is the purpose of Elinor Karlsson’s study
A. To help dog owners learn about their dogs better.
B. To prove dog breeds determine their personalities.
C. To study the relationship between dog breeds and behaviors.
D. To show different dogs have different personalities.
15. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph
A. All the dogs can make a long, loud barking.
B. Dogs of the same breed can behave differently.
C. Dogs’ owners may observe their pets carelessly.
D. Huskies and beagles are not the same dog breed.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了一项研究表明,狗有不同的性格,哪怕是同一品种的狗也是这样。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She co-wrote a report about the study, which appeared recently in the publication Science.(她与人合著了一份关于这项研究的报告,最近发表在《科学》杂志上。)”可知,Karlsson的报告发表在《科学》杂志上。故选B。
【13题详解】
短语猜测题。根据画线短语后一句“In other words, her dog likes to act like it is in charge of other dogs.(换句话说,她的狗喜欢表现得像是在管理其他狗。)”可知,前面说她的狗像“the queen bee”,这里对其进行解释,即她的狗喜欢表现得像是在管理其他狗。由此可推测出,她的狗喜欢表现得好像自己最重要。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“Karlsson said her aim was to learn how much a dog’s breed affects their behavior. (Karlsson说,她的目的是了解狗的品种对它们行为的影响。)”可知,Karlsson的这项研究的目的是研究狗的品种和其行为之间的关系。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“However, it is not sure that two dogs of the same breed will behave in the same way.(然而,目前还不能确定同一品种的两只狗是否会有同样的行为。)”可知,目前不能确定同一品种的狗是否行为相同。最后一段“For example, huskies and beagles, may be more likely to howl—or make a long, loud barking sound. But many of these dogs do not howl, as owner observations showed.(例如,哈士奇和比格犬可能更容易嚎叫,或者发出长长的、响亮的吠叫声。但正如主人观察到的那样,这些狗中的许多并没有嚎叫。)”举哈士奇和比格犬嚎叫的例子来为前文提供依据,哈士奇和比格犬中有的会嚎叫,也有许多并没有嚎叫。由此可推测出,作者在最后一段中举例是为了说明同一品种的狗也会有不同行为。故选B。

Four popular children’s books
Que Cosas Dice Mi Abuela
Spanish-speaking parents will love this fun book—which was translated into “The things my grandmother says” —in which a grandmother teaches manners (规矩) to her grandchildren and their friends using traditional Spanish-language sayings. Written in the voice of a little boy talking about his regular day, this book will draw the interest of both adults and kids.
I Like Myself!
Parents won’t mind reading the story over and over to their kids because as they pass along the message that their kids are perfect just the way they are—no matter their untidy hair, or whether they are fast or slow, their kids will learn about confidence.
Dragons Love Tacos(炸玉米饼)
While books with a deep message are great, sometimes you and your child just want to read something silly to get the laughs rolling. The New York Times bestseller, Dragons Love Tacos is a great read for kids and parents as it talks about how much dragons really love tacos, but when they eat something spicy (辛辣的) you had better watch out! The book has more words than some of the other picks on our list, so this might be fit for a preschoolers and up.
The Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes

When I was a teenager, I wrote postcards to show my friends the new places I had explored every time my family took a vacation. I considered postcards as simply a way to share travels until I came across my grandmother’s postcard album.
It was a dark gray leather album, where most of the postcards had pictures that did not reflect a holiday or a travel destination. Instead, the notes were mostly invitations to a dinner party or, a walk the next day.
“Why do these postcards ask you to come to tea ” I asked my grandmother. “Because this is how we communicated before we had a telephone,” she said. “I would post a postcard in the morning mail, and a friend would receive it that afternoon. Then she would post a reply that arrived in my mail the next morning.”
I was surprised. Life without a phone sounded like something out of the world. Connecting by postcard seemed as unexpected as using a carrier pigeon (信鸽). I had forgotten about my grandmother’s postcards until lockdowns (封锁) restricted our trips to seeing our three granddaughters. Remembering my grandmother’s album, I bought several sets of cards and every few weeks, I’d write notes and mail them. The girls sometimes responded with brief thank-you texts.
Then one day I opened my mailbox and spotted three hand-addressed envelopes. They were from my granddaughters, each thanking me for the postcards. The notes captured their disappointment with the pandemic and described how my messages had comforted them.
I had been thinking how my grandmother had accepted the telephone as a new way to keep relationships. Like her, I accepted the girls’ preferred mode of communication and texted my thanks for their letters. However, even as the lockdowns end, I will continue to send them postcards because everyone enjoys receiving a real letter.
4. Why did the author’s grandmother write postcards
A To share off her travel experiences. B. To show love and care.
C. To kill the time. D. To keep in touch with people.

C. It was just as usual. D. It was attractive.
6. How did the author feel when receiving her granddaughters’ letters

7. Which one should be the title for the text
A. An Old Postcard Album B. New Ways of Communication
C. Love during Lockdowns D. Attraction of Postcards

Do you like Chinese traditional painting and dance They are two important parts of the traditional Chinese art. But what about when they meet each other
This year, a dance drama titled Poetic Dance: The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting (《只此青绿》) was staged on CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala and became popular.
According to CCTV, this poetic dance program was inspired by the 900-year-old Chinese painting A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains (《千里江山图》). Created by Song Dynasty painter Wang Ximeng at about 18, the painting is amazing in its sweeping size, rich coloration and the expressive details, reported CCTV. It shows a Chinese blue-green landscape: “mountains and groupings of infinite (无限的) rise and fall between cloudless sky and rippling (涟漪的) water”.
When the dancers moved elegantly(优美地), audiences seemed to be looking at the moving mountains and rivers. “It brings me a pure experience of beauty. It is not only a drama but also an exhibition. Vast mountains and rivers are coming to life!” Internet user Mo Weisha wrote in a review. “More than a thousand years later, green mountains and rivers still impress people as they did long ago.” Some people even decided to watch the dance again when it was staged in the theaters later. In fact, in recent years, more and more modern shows feature Chinese traditional culture and have received warm welcome. As for the reason, it is due to people’s great love for traditional culture.
“The younger generations have grown up with a more open mind. They accept Chinese culture and are proud of it.” Yao Wei director of Henan TV Station’s Innovation Center, told China Daily.

A new study has found that all dogs have different personalities—even dogs of the same breed(品种).
Elinor Karlsson studies genetics at the University of Massachusetts. She co-wrote a report about the study, which appeared recently in the publication Science.
Karlsson said, “Every dog really is an individual,” noting that there is “a huge amount of difference” even between dogs that look the same.
At a New York dog park, dog owners talked about the different characteristics of their pets. Elizabeth Kelly owns an English springer spaniel. She called her dog friendly, but also “kind of the queen bee.” In other words, her dog likes to act like it is in charge of other dogs. Suly described her yellow Labrador as “calm, lazy and shy.”
The idea of dog breeds is quite recent. Around 160 years ago, humans began to breed dogs to have certain physical qualities, such as fur, color and ear shape.
Karlsson said her aim was to learn how much a dog’s breed affects their behavior. The answer Breed does not decide an individual dog’s personality.
Karlsson’s team gathered information from 18,000 dog owners and studied the genetic code of over 2,000 dogs. The researchers found that some qualities are based on genetics. However, it is not sure that two dogs of the same breed will behave in the same way.
For example, huskies and beagles, may be more likely to howl—or make a long, loud barking sound. But many of these dogs do not howl, as owner observations showed.
12. What do we know about Karlsson’s report
A. She wrote it by herself.
B. It was published in Science.
C. She finished it after graduation.
D. It is of little value to her study.
13. What does the underlined “the queen bee” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. A bee that behaves busily.
B. A dog whose name is Queen.
C. A bee that serves the whole group.
D. A dog acting as if it is the most important.
14. What is the purpose of Elinor Karlsson’s study
A. To help dog owners learn about their dogs better.
B. To prove dog breeds determine their personalities.
C. To study the relationship between dog breeds and behaviors.
D. To show different dogs have different personalities.
15. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph
A. All the dogs can make a long, loud barking.
B. Dogs of the same breed can behave differently.
C. Dogs’ owners may observe their pets carelessly.
D. Huskies and beagles are not the same dog breed.
