I had the meanest (最刻薄的) mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal (谷类食物). But at least I wasn’t alone. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did. But we all proud of being her children.
My mother knew where we were at all times. She knew who our friends were.

Through the years, things didn’t improve a bit. We could not lie in bed to pretend(假装) to be “sick” like our friends did in order to miss school.

Do you listen to the songs that your parents like You probably think the music that they like is old and dull but the songs you like are more popular and interesting.
But researchers at the University of Cambridge, the UK, collected data (资料) from more than 250,000 people over the past 10 years. They noticed that as people age, their social circumstances (环境) change, and so does their music taste. There are three musical periods that people pass through as they grow. The first period comes in the teenage years, during which time people like rock because people regard themselves as independent individuals (个体).
But as people move into early adulthood, their lifestyle changes—they get to know more people and want to build close relationships with others. As a result, they prefer pop which is often played at parties.
When middle age comes, people like to listen to jazz and classical. They also like country and folk, “During this period of life, many people often feel tired because of their work and family, and there is a requirement for relaxing and emotive (动情的) music.” said Jason Smith, a research member.
You must be thinking: “Aren’t there old people who still love rock music ” Of course there are. But Jason Smith explained that their reasons for listening to rock music may have changed. “We use music for different reasons,” he said, and at that age people may listen to remind themselves of their youths.
8. What does the underline word “dull” in paragraph 1 most probably mean
A. boring B. tiny C. valuable D. safe
9. What kind of music does a teenager probably like
A. Pop. B. Rock. C. Jazz. D. Classical.
10. What does the underlined word “they” refer to
A. The people who are very old. B. The people who are in middle age.
C. The people who are very young. D. The people who move into early adulthood.
11. According to Jason Smith, why do the people in middle age like to listen the country music
A. Because this kind of music can make them feel relax.
B. Because they want to build close relationships with others.
C. Because they regard themselves as independent individuals.
D. Because they want to make more friends with others in this way.

On Wednesday, August 7, China got its first-ever gold medal in artistic swimming at the Paris Olympic Games.

Born in 1997 and grew up in Shenzhen, the sisters took an interest in artistic swimming when they came to Shenzhen sports team in 2005, asking to learn artistic swimming. The twins almost didn’t make it to the team because of their parents’ heights.
There is an unwritten rule in artistic swimming. If a sportswoman is less than 1.68 meters tall, she is unlikely to become a professional. The twins’ father is less than 1.7 meters tall, while their mother is a little taller than 1.6 meters, which means the daughters are unlikely to be tall enough.
However, the twins’ strong will and strengths impressed Hu, coach (教练) of Shenzhen team. The twins went for training after school every day. At 20 years old, the twins grew to be 1.72 meters tall. They were among the tallest when joining the national artistic swimming team in 2017.

They also won a gold and a bronze(铜的) medal at the national games in 2013 and 2017. Then, they won four gold medals at the 2022 World Championships in Hungary and a gold in the duet event at the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games, winning the right for the Paris Olympics.
12. When does the twins win the first gold medal
A. In 1997. B. In 2005. C. In 2010. D. In 2024.
13. Why were the twins refused when they applied(申请) to learn artistic swimming
A. Because they were too heavy to learn it.
B. Because they were busy studying at school.
C. Because they were too lazy to learn it.
D. Because their parents aren’t tall enough.
14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The twin’s achievement. B. The twin’s family.
C. The twin’s training. D. The twin’s height.
15. Which part can you probably read this passage in a newspaper

Finally, good talkers know well when to say good-bye. Remember to give him a handshake and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” 20 Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their life.
A. Here are several skills that good talkers have.
B. From there you can move on to some other questions.
C. But most of them are as clean as the day they were bought.
D. If you want to see that person again, don’t keep it a secret.

第三部分 书面表达(共两节, 满分30分)
第一节 阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分)
阅读下面短文, 完成短文后的问题。
If you spend some time in an English speaking country, you might hear the term “etiquette”. It means normal and social behavior. This may seem like a difficult word at first, but it can be very useful to understand.
Etiquette is not the same in every culture or in every situation. For example, standing very close to the person you are talking with is quite common in some Asian countries. However, if you do this in Europe, some people might feel uncomfortable. Even in China, we all know that etiquette is not the same in all situations. Perhaps we think that talking loudly in our own homes is fine, but there are other places where talking loudly is not allowed. For example, most people would agree that talking loudly in a library, a museum or a movie theater is impolite. Even if you are with your friends, it is better to keep your voice down in public places.
If we see someone breaking the rules of etiquette, we may politely give them some suggestions. One of the most polite ways is to ask someone, “Would you mind doing this ” or “Would you mind not doing that ” People don’t usually like to be criticized, so we have to be careful how we do this.
Although rules of etiquette can often be different, some rules are the same almost everywhere in the world! For example, dropping litter is almost never allowed. If you see someone you know doing this, you can ask him, “Would you mind picking it up ”
41. What does the underlined word “etiquette” probably mean
42. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2
43. If your friend talks loudly in the museum, what would you say to him/her
44. In which countries can people stand close to the person they are talking with
45. What does the writer think of “etiquette” in the last paragraph

Dear Tom,
I’m very happy to hear that you’re coming to China next week. Let me tell you something about customs and manners in our country.
As we all know, different countries have different customs. So the manners in China are very different from those in your country. First, Chinese are supposed to shake hands when we meet for the first time. Then we greet each other. After that, you can talk about something relaxing. But you are not supposed to talk about someone’s salary, age and so on. Second, we couldn’t begin to eat until all the people are here. We use chopsticks to have meals and you shouldn’t point at others with your chopsticks at the table. I hope you’ll have a wonderful time in China.
Look forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
