（2024·福建泉州·二模）Brian Linden, a 61-year-old American, wears many hats: traveler, businessman, educator, and hotel founder. Having lived in a Yunnan village in China for nearly 20 years, he’s now known as one of the “cool new Dali people”.
Born and raised in Chicago, Brian first visited China in 1984, then received a scholarship (奖学金) from the Chinese government and came to study in Beijing. During his stay, he fell in love with Chinese culture and wanted to share it with others.
After working and traveling in over 100 countries, Brian left his job, sold his house, and in 2004, moved to China with his family to start a new life. They chose Xizhou, a quaint (古色古香的) town near Dali, as their new home.
“I’m a super fan of China’s traditional buildings. Xizhou is a beautiful town with lots of them from the Ming and Qing dynasties. The traditions here are as alive as ever, and the local people treat me like family,” said Brian.
With support from the Dali government, Brian spent all his money repairing a traditional Bai-style house into a hotel for foreign tourists, now known as the Linden Center. This hotel isn’t just for tourists; it also offers international educational programs to European and American schools. Half of the hotel is open to the public, creating a space where more people can meet and communicate with local villagers. Additionally, it provides free English lessons for the villagers once a week.
When talking about his future plans, Brian expressed his desire to do more to share the beauty of China with the world. “Our goal is to turn Xizhou into a window for foreigners to learn about China,” said Brian. “I hope that through my efforts, more people will love China.”

（2024·福建福州·二模）Are you a procrastinator (拖延者) Are you putting off going to the gym Have you seldom cleaned your rooms in time Are you waiting just one more day to study for that test Procrastination is putting off to later what you know you should be doing now. But all those tasks you push to tomorrow can make their way into your mind. And that could harm your health.
In one study, scientists connected procrastination to many problems. These included depression (沮丧), nervousness and even arm pain. “I was surprised when I saw that one,” says Fred Johansson. The psychologist (心理学家) and his team reported the results in a newspaper.
The study is one of the largest so far to deal with procrastination’s ties to health. For years, scientists didn’t seem to view procrastination as something serious. This new study could change that.
The study followed about 2,500 students over nine months. They found that procrastinators perform worse over time than those who did things without delay (延迟). For instance, they were more worried, depressed and sleep-deprived (睡眠不足的).
From this type of study, the team can’t say for sure that putting things off causes poor health. But results from other research teams seem to point in the same direction. One 2021 study tied procrastinating at bedtime to depression. And a 2015 study connected procrastinating to poor heart health. According to Fuschia Sirois, a scientist at Durham University in England, the harmful effects of procrastination could build up over time. Procrastination alone may not cause disease, however it could be “one factor that can tip the scales (扭转局势).”
6．How did the writer lead to the topic
A．By comparing facts. B．By telling stories.
C．By asking questions. D．By giving examples.

A．2500. B．2015. C．2000. D．1500.
9．What is the same conclusion of studies in 2021 and 2015
A．Delaying makes poor heart health.
B．Procrastination is a kind of disease.
C．Delaying at bedtime makes depression.
D．Procrastination leads to many problems.
10．What is the writer’s purpose in writing this text
A．To make the readers know about the procrastinators.
B．To advise the readers to keep away from procrastination.
C．To tell about the different result of studies.
D．To show the reasons for procrastination.
（2024·福建福州·二模）Thanks to modern travel, even though faraway countries may now seem closer, they may still be different from your home country. Following are some tips that will make your trip more enjoyable.
Never raise your voice in order to make yourself understood. If you do not know the word for something in the local language, try to draw a picture or point to an object. If you have to point something out, do so by gesturing towards the object, with the palm (掌心) of your hand flat, facing upward, and your fingers straight.
Consider the main religion of the country you plan to visit and read about any taboo related to clothing, especially if you plan to visit places that are considered sacred (神圣的). You’d better wear T-shirts that cover your shoulders, and long trousers. What’s more, avoid topics of conversation that you think may be sensitive (敏感的). If a topic is sensitive in your own culture, it will more than likely be the same in other cultures.
If you plan to stay with a host family, and you wish to take a gift, do some research. One of the easiest ways to upset somebody is to give the wrong gift. In China, you mustn’t give fans as gifts. The Chinese word for “fan” has a similar sound to the word for “separation”.

（2024·福建福州·二模）Since humans sent the first satellite to space in the 1950s, scientists have been studying an important topic: how to grow food in space if humans will one day live there. A recent experiment at the Tiangong space station makes a big step forward.
Chinese astronauts have successfully grown rice seedlings (幼苗) during the Shenzhou XIV mission “The rice seedlings are growing very well” said Zheng Huiqiong, a researcher from the Chinesc Academy of Sciences. Since the rice experiment began on July 29, the seedlings of the tall shoot rice variety (高杆水稻品种) have reached a height of 30 centimeters. The seedlings of the dwarf rice variety (矮杆水稻品种) have grown to 5 centimeters, China Daily reported on Aug. 30
While there have been other rice experiments in space, this one is the first of its kind to produce the complete life cycle of a plant—it begins with a seed and ends with a mature (成熟的) plant producing new seeds.
Such food-growing experiments are not just for astronauts. They can also solve food problems on Earth. By sending seeds to space, we can create mutated (突变的) seeds, thanks to microgravity, lack of air and cosmic rays (宇宙射线). The seeds can then produce higher amount on Earth.
For more than 30 years, China has developed over 260 new types of seeds in space. They are planted every year in fields that cover tens of millions of hectares (公顷).
According to Yao Tong, an engineer from Hainan Aerospace Engineering Breeding Research Center. 30 percent of strawberries sold in Beijing are “space strawberries”, which are as big as eggs. The center has also produced “space tomatoes” with yields (产量) increased by 30 percent, and “space bananas” with a growth cycle shortened from 13 months to 9 months.
16．How high did the tall shoot rice variety grow for the first month
A．5 cm. B．25 cm. C．30 cm. D．35 cm.
17．What does the underlined phrase “this one” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A．The dwarf rice variety.
B．The tall shoot rice variety.
C．The rice experiment on Shenchou XIV.
D．The last rice experiment in space.
18．How does the current (当前的) rice experiment differ from other experiments
A．Its seedlings have successfully come up.
B．It goes through a complete life cycle.

（2024·福建泉州·二模）The “loong” is a magical dragon from Chinese stories. It is considered very powerful in China because people believe it controls all water in the sky and on Earth. Ancient emperors said they were related to the loong to show they had the right to rule. The loong has always been a key symbol in Chinese history. Ever wondered where it came from
Yangshao Period
The story of the loong begins with the Yangshao Culture, which started around 5,500 to 7,000 years ago. That’s when people first made designs of loongs, inspired by animals like fish, snakes, pigs, and crocodiles. These early loong designs showed their respect for nature.
Longshan Era
Fast forward to about 4,000 to 5,000 years ago, during the Longshan period, making loong designs became popular, especially those that looked like snakes and crocodiles, but also included bits of tigers, fish, and other animals too.

Xia and Shang Dynasties
In the Xia and Shang dynasties, the loong turned into a big symbol for the country, representing strength and togetherness. The Xia people really respected the loong as an important ancestor and thought it helped them in tough times.
In 2002, historian discovered a loong-shaped pot in Erlitou, Henan, made of over 2,000 turquoise (绿松石) pieces, looking like a loong’s head and body. After the Xia, the Shang Dynasty’s interest in loong designs grew, with many bronze (青铜) pots showing loong patterns. This period saw the loong become even cooler and more mysterious.

On November 14, 2023, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) officially acknowledged (承认) China’s Bei Dou satellite Navigation System (BDS) as a global (全球的) standard. This acknowledgement places it among the top group of global satellite navigation systems, sharing the stage with the United States’ GPS, Russia’s GLONASS, and the European Union’s Galileo.
China began working on the BDS in 1994. The system became operational in 2000. After 12 years of development, it started helping people in the Asia-Pacific area. By 2020, with BDS-3 being used all over the world, China improved the system to offer more accurate (精确的) positioning services. This improvement has made it a valuable tool for different kinds of industries, including transportation, farming, and land measuring.
Now, the BDS, with its 59 satellites, has served more than 1.5 billion users around the world. In China, most mobile apps that provide maps, navigation, and shopping services already support the BDS. The country’s satellite navigation industry is growing quickly, with its value reaching more than 500 billion yuan in 2022 — an amount expected to double by 2025. In the first six months of 2023, about 13.4 million new BDS devices (设备) were introduced. Nearly 60% of these devices have been used in transportation, while the rest support communication and farming. About 28% are used for communication and 12% for farming.

（2024·福建福州·二模）In 1993, Swedish psychologist K. Anders Ericsson planned to find the secret to turning a typical teen into a violinist. His answer Practice: 10,000 hours of it. The figure was called “the magic number of greatness” by journalist and writer Malcolm Gladwell.
The idea “Practice makes perfect” has been rooted in the heads of ambitious youths since the Roman Empire. Anyone can be the next LeBron James, Yo-Yo Ma, or Celine Dion as long as they can devote enough time to practicing their skills. But can it be simple Not every expert agrees. While training is quite important for learning, spending plenty of your life trying something over and over doesn’t mean you’ll become skilled, says Zach Hambrick, a psychologist at Michigan State University.
Being great isn’t just about the total of work, he says, but also about the workers themselves. In reviewing different studies, Hambrick found that practice time explains only about one-quarter of any noticeable difference in skill level. Other factors (因素)——like age, brainpower, and natural gifts——all played big roles in separating the better from the best.
Genes (基因) in particular offer physical and intellectual advantages. Height might be useful for a basketball star. A limber vocal range (灵活的音域) could help you take the lead in a chorus.
Of course, this doesn’t mean we should all quit practicing, Hambrick says. Nobody is born knowing how to pirouette (单脚尖旋转) or plot a checkmate. But perfection in 10,000 hours There’s no promise.
36．According to K .Anders Ericsson, what makes a typical teen turn into a violinist
A．Height. B．Age. C．Brainpower. D．Practice.
37．What is the purpose of the underlined question in paragraph 2
A．To show study reviews. B．To lead in the topic.
C．To present a new point. D．To consider the perfection process.
38．According to paragraph 3, what’s Hambrick’s attitude (态度) towards “practice makes perfect”
A．Confident. B．Unsupportive. C．Objective. D．Doubtful.
39．Which of the following best explains the underlined word “quit” in paragraph 5
quit /kw t/ v. ①to stop doing sth. ②to close a computer program ③to leave your job, school, etc. ④to leave the place where you live
A．① B．② C．③ D．④

（2024·福建福州·二模）Going shopping with your parents for new clothes can make you happy. However, in the UK we buy more clothes per person than any other country in Europe. What people might not realize is that the fashion industry, especially “fast fashion”, is harmful to the planet.
Fast fashion refers to cheap clothing items that are quickly produced by large companies to follow the latest trends (时尚). The aim of fast fashion is to get the new styles into shops as fast as possible so customers can buy them.
The fashion industry is responsible for between eight and 10% of greenhouse gas emissions (排放), which cause climate change. To keep prices low, fashion companies often use a fabric called polyester, which is a type of plastic that is not biodegradable. Producers dye (染色) fabrics using lots of chemicals, which can pollute the environment. Making clothes also requires lots of water. The clothes then have to be shipped to the countries where they’re going to be sold, which produces even more polluting emissions. Fast fashion items aren’t made to last forever because they often go out of style quite quickly. Some people throw their clothes away when they don’t want them any more. Each year, the UK sends 300,000 tonnes of clothes to landfill.
What can we do to help Try buying second-hand clothes. They aren’t too expensive and help to reduce the amount of clothes that get thrown away. Someone else could wear a T-shirt that doesn’t fit you or suit your style any more. Donate or swap. If items of clothing start to look very worn or get ripped, they can be fixed or reused in a different way.

A．Fast fashion is the most popular in Europe.

When ChatGPT came out, Olivia Lipkin, a copywriter in San Francisco, found herself with less and less work to do. Last April, she was fired with no explanation. She realized the reason when hearing managers talking about how using ChatGPT was at a lower cost than having a human writer. Eric Fein had worked in a writing company for ten years. He became jobless last March because of ChatGPT. He said to his boss that ChatGPT couldn’t write with his level of creativity. His boss said he understood, but he would have to pay more to Fein than using ChatGPT.
AI systems like ChatGPT could replace (替代)hundreds of millions of jobs in the future. And for those who write social media posts and ads, the effect is already here. However, experts say that even the best AI systems can’t match the writing skills of a human. It doesn’t have a personal voice or style. Besides, it often gives the wrong answers.
Indeed, companies that have replaced human workers with ChatGPT have run into ET, a technology news site, once used Al systems to write articles. The results, however, were full of mistakes. And the U.S. National Eating Disorders Company once replaced its helpline workers with robots. But it had to stop using the technology after the robots gave people harmful advice.
After being replaced by ChatGPT, Fein and Lipkin didn’t give up. Fein has decided to be an air-conditioning technician(技师), a job that AI can’t do. And Lipkin now works as a dog walker. She says, “People are looking for the cheapest solution, and that’s not a person-it’s a robot.”

Last year, a primary school in Jiangxi Province made a decision. It would no longer prepare meals in its own canteen (食堂). Instead, it would serve its students pre-made (预制的) food. The move quickly became a hot topic across the country. Many parents said that they were worried about food safety. Some of them even sent homemade meals to school at lunchtime every day.
The Ministry of Education warns against introducing pre-made meals to schools. That’s mainly because there are not yet any national standards for such food. The market for pre-made meals has been developing quickly over the past few years. In 2022, there were more than 60,000 related companies in China. And the number is still growing. By 2026, the market will have reached more than one trillion yuan. What has made pre-made meals so popular They have many advantages. They’re quick and convenient to prepare. They also have a long shelf life (保存期). However, parents’ worries are not without reason. Pre-made food may be acceptable every now and then, but few people eat it every day. Naturally, parents don’t want their children to do so, either.
In fact, pre-made meals are all prepared by central kitchens. They’re not necessarily unhealthy compared with freshly cooked food. The problem is how to make sure these companies follow all the hygiene (卫生) rules when they cook and store food. For now, the pre-made food industry still has a long way to go.

A．To ask a question. B．To lead to the main topic.

B．Because pre-made meals are not so healthy as homemade meals.

73．What do parents think of pre-made meals according to Paragraph 2
A．Quick and convenient. B．Tasty and healthy.

（2024·福建泉州·一模）Years ago, I feared traveling alone. But after taking several work trips on my own, I’ve realized traveling alone is not only easy but also fantastic.
Over the years, I’ve realized traveling with someone is all about compromise (妥协). You have to agree on which museums to visit, where to eat dinner and what time to start the day. When I travel alone, I don’t have to give up anything. If I want to wake up at 11 a. m., I can. If I realize I need a rest at noon, I don’t need to explain myself to anyone. I found the freedom to do whatever I want without someone saying yes is the best part of traveling alone.
Before traveling alone, I thought I’d hate it, for I would not be able to share experiences with someone else, but I learned the opposite is true for me. When I’m in a new city by myself, I get to stay in my own head and experience something without someone else’s ideas troubling mine. I can listen to music, read a book or find somewhere I can just sit and think. When I travel with another person or a group, these moments are few.
Although I seldom feel lonely on trips, I sometimes turn to social media to keep me connected with people. I found that taking a photo or a video and posting it on the Internet can start a conversation with friends. But I learned through my travels that I value connecting with the new place more than connecting with old friends.
Traveling alone not only helped me have confidence, but also helped better my mental health.
76．When did the writer change his view of traveling alone
A．Before connecting with old friends.
B．After turning to social media.
C．Before getting information from books.
D．After taking some work trips.
77．Which was the best part of traveling alone for the writer

A．He truly hates to stay alone.
B．He prefers traveling with others nowadays.
C．He used to like sharing traveling experiences.
D．He finds it easy to sit and think when traveling in groups.
79．How did the writer keep in touch with his friends when traveling alone
A．By making phone calls. B．By sending e-mails.
C．By posting photos online. D．By introducing new places.
80．What would be the suitable title for the text
A．Enjoy Traveling Alone B．Go Traveling Online
C．Experience Cheap Travel D．Value Group Travel
（2024·福建泉州·一模）Being misunderstood can make us feel small and uncomfortable. But in fact, what makes us great can be born from being misunderstood. I finally understood the point of being misunderstood.
One summer day, I filled an exercise book with different raindrop shapes in order to prove that the way a rainbow (彩虹) worked was impossible. And all I could prove was that rainbows were unbelievable. However, every second day a shower would mock me with another rainbow. My teacher thought I simply tried to make him look like a fool, so I was punished. Actually, I wasn’t trying to mock my teacher. I just wanted to find out how rainbows worked.
It’s hard when you are misunderstood. We have all been there, said things too quickly with too little thought. Those who hear our words don’t want to understand our thoughts. And people judge (判断) our actions without trying to understand the background behind the decisions.
We see the impossible and we want to know who, how, where or what. The search drives us, and we question, we look harder, and we trouble those people around us with endless details of the things we see. Sometimes, your opinion of something impossible can’t be seen by others. As a result, we are slowly taught to doubt what we see, even to the point we doubt ourselves. But in our opinion, our voice matters. And we believe our actions are important and the things we see are worth seeing. We cannot bear to be told our actions are wrong and we cannot bear to be told we are blind, and that what we see is not there. In fact, it doesn’t make us feel good. Having got the point of being misunderstood, I learned to let it go and felt much better.
81．Why was the writer punished in his school that summer
A．He lost his exercise book.
B．He had a fight with his classmates.
C．His teacher found him trouble others.

82．What does the underlined word “mock” in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese

A．How people hear our words.
B．Why misunderstanding happens.
C．How people judge our actions.
D．What background means for decisions.
84．What causes us to explore more when we see the impossible
A．The search for answers. B．The lesson from mistakes.

In the past few years, cars have become smarter and smarter, In more than nine cities, there are driverless taxis in China. Across the world, many “smart roads” have been in practice, and more are being built. Some new technologies are being put to use.
● Roads that recharge (给……充电)
Global warming has forced us to search for new energy sources. Why not look to the roads With the right technologies, cars around the world could be producing energy as they go.
Piezoelectric (压电的) roads mix traditional asphalt (柏油) with new materials. They use vibrations (震动) from passing cars to produce electricity.
Piezoelectricity, in fact, is nothing new. It was invented in 1880.
However, it has never been widely used before now. Lancaster University is going to change that. It has been improving the technology, including developing roadside batteries that can store the electricity.
● Built-in brain
Roads of the future may be able to know how many people are on them. They could send people updates on weather and traffic situations, and recharge electric cars as they drive.
This seems to be a dream, but a company has almost made it come true. By sensing the weight of a vehicle, the company’s smart roads can record the speed of each wheel. After having collected traffic data (数据), the roads will send it to the drivers.
● Roads that never freeze
It can be dangerous to drive in snowy weather. A tech company has developed the snowless roads. When they feel snow or ice on their surfaces, the roads will heat themselves up, melting (使融化) the snow or ice away. The project has been successfully tested on a few roads and in some car parks.

（2024·福建三明·一模）If you were born in the 2000s, you are called the oh-ohs. That would make you young, creative, connected, world-wide, and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too.
Right But what do other people think about your generation (一代)
Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phone so much. They wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family.
Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoilt (溺爱) and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter (直升机) parents”. They were always there to guide and help their children with a busy program filled with homework and after-school activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them, today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.
Does the face-down generation need a heads-up Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They seem to be willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school.
So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you do great and laugh out loud.
96．What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1
A．To show a social problem. B．To start a discussion.
C．To explain a scientific term. D．To introduce the topic.
97．According to the text, which of the following may worry some adults
A．Oh-ohs’ poor eyesight. B．Oh-ohs’ busy timetable.

98．What do “helicopter parents” do for their children
A．They help them to face the challenges.
B．They guide and plan everything for them.
C．They do the homework instead of them.
D．They keep them away from after-school activities.
99．What do we know about the face-down generation according to Paragraph 4
① creative ② brave ③ helpful ④ afraid of growing up ⑤ willing to become leaders
