outbreak has been largely brought under control in China， she thinks livestreaming classes can meet more Chinese knot lovers' needs to learn the handicraft．She has integrated the anti﹣epidemic spirit into her works， expressing the determination （决心） and confidence of the Chinese people to win against the COVID﹣19． "I love Wuhan，where I showed my works in 2024． Chinese knots are popular among many local people， and I made lots of friends there，" Lyu said． She designed a special Chinese knot to express her thanks to the medics who were sent to support Wuhan several months ago．She has more than 200 followers right now． There are more and more Chinese knot lovers on her online platform． She is using a length of colored string and determination to keep this traditional art of Chinese knots alive online and help more people understand the culture．（1）The underlined word "livestreaming" in Paragraph 1 is close to " "．A． sending out while happeningB． equipment for recording videosC． sending

the outbreakB． Introducing an intangible cultural heritageC． Livestreaming the art of making Chinese knotsD． Expressing thanks to the doctors and nurses19．（8分） Do you like Physics or Chemistry？ Matter （物质） is always changing， either physically or chemically． If a material goes through a physical change， it is still the same material． During a chemical change， one kind of matter changes into another completely different kind of matter． For example， when we burn wood or cook fish， materials change． People use chemistry every day in the kitchen．The food we eat has many different natural chemicals． Many of the chemicals in food are necessary parts of a healthy diet．Much of the food we eat has been changed in some way from its original form． The changes that food undergoes may be chemical or physical． If a change does not affect the food's chemical composition， we call it a physical change． For example， melted （溶解的） cheese has gone through a physical change． It gets softer when it is heated but it is still the same type of material． Any change that changes the chemicals in the food is a chemical change． Bread contains carbohydrates， which are chemicals made up of carbon， hydrogen， and oxygen． When bread is baked （烘焙）， the carbohydrates break down into black carbon and water． The carbon gives the bread a dark color and a crunchy texture （质地）． The water goes into the air．To get a closer look at the chemistry of baking， let's watch how a carrot cake is made． The main steps of baking any cake are mixing the ingredients （材料） and baking them together． In the course of making cakes， the dry ingredients are mixed first． They are flour， sugar，salt， baking soda， baking powder and spices． Flour gives the cake structure． Sugar helps to make it sweet． Salt strengthens the cake batter． Baking powder and baking soda make the cake rise．Next， the carrots may be added to the cake． These help give the carrot cake its flavor，texture， and color． The other ingredients in the carrot cake are oil and eggs． The oil makes the cake tender and moist． Eggs serve two purposes﹣the whites help the cake to rise， while the yolks （蛋黄） give it a creamy texture． All of these ingredients form a mixture． This mixture can be separated into its different components （成分）although it is very difficult． Once the cake mixture is formed， it's poured into a cake pan and baked in an oven． The heat from the oven has caused chemical changes to take place． The cake is finished and theingredients cannot be separated．（1）The material doesn't change when we ．A． melt ice creamB． burn paperC． bake apple piesD． cook beef（2）What's the correct order of baking a carrot cake in the passage？a． Carrots， oil and eggs are added．b． The dry ingredients are mixed．c． The mixture is baked in an oven．d． Baking powder and soda make the cake rise．e． Preparing some dry ingredients．f． The heat from the oven causes chemical changes．g． The ingredients cannot be separated．h． The mixture is poured into a panA． b﹣a﹣h﹣f﹣gB． b﹣h﹣c﹣d﹣fC． e﹣d﹣c﹣a﹣gD． e﹣c﹣a﹣g﹣d（3）After reading the passage， we know that ．A． water and carbon can give the cake a dark color and a crunchy textureB． people can separate the mixture of eggs and oil into different componentsC． chemicals in different kinds of food that people eat are bad for their healthD． sugar and salt can't be put into the mixture to make a cake at the same time（4）The passage mainly helps us to ．A． look at the steps of baking cakes closelyB． learn how to make carrot cakes at homeC． have a healthy diet with natural chemicalsD． understand physical and chemical changes20．（8分） Herman planted the hot peppers （胡椒） in his five﹣hectare field in his town． The 36﹣year﹣old man put up a sign reading "Africa Hema Village" in Chinese， English and his native language． His first harvest will start this month． Herman studied in China from 2011 to 2024，receiving his master's degree and a doctorate in environmental science． He returned to Rwanda in 2024 with his wife， Yang Hong， who is from China， and started his own business． Hema Xiansheng CEO Hou Yi visited Rwanda to find quality products to bring to the Chinese market． Hot peppers were one of his discoveries． The couple helped Hou's team， from research to field trips， testing production processes （加工） and so on． They also helped Hema Xiansheng'spurchasing （选购） manager， Chen Huifang， when she led a team of eight to visit Rwanda to research the possibilities of making hot pepper products that suit Chinese preferences．"We wore rubber gloves when we touched them． Our fingers still felt hot the next day，" Chen said． Their research and development team spent four days studying and cooking the peppers． Transporting fresh hot peppers to China proved difficult， so the fresh peppers can't be imported （进口） into China． Then Chen's team decided to perform basic processing in Rwanda before shipping． Processing requires a careful balance． Too much salt will make the peppers less delicious． Too little， and the peppers may go bad． Because plastics mustn't be used in Rwanda， they had to find proper ways to carry the pepper sauce． The material they first used couldn't stand the long flights． Now Chen is happy to see that the pepper sauce has sold well in Hema's offline and online stores．Herman pointed out that few local farmers grow hot peppers because the market is small． A small amount is sold to Europe． And local need is limited due to its spiciness． So， about half the harvest is wasted every year． A young man in Rwanda will only make 10 yuan （＄1.4）a day by working in the cities， but if they grow hot peppers due to Hema's orders， they can make 50 to 60 yuan a day． Herman expressed his willingness to introduce more people to make more money by farming， rather than working for lower incomes， when e﹣commerce （电子商务）can bring greater needs and sales．"It's a chance for Rwandan people to join the new field and change their lives，" Herman said， "Through building more Hema Villages， Rwanda has the chance to become a country of digital agriculture．"（1）"Africa Hema Village" in Paragraph 1 is a place ．A． called Hema in AfricaB． where Herman's wife was bornC． providing hot peppers for HemaD． for Africans to buy hot peppers（2）Why should the peppers be processed before shipping to China？ Because ．A． a balance is needed when the processing is doneB． fresh hot peppers mustn't be imported into ChinaC． in Rwanda， people are not allowed to use plasticsD． during shipping， fresh hot peppers are easy to go bad（3）If a young man in Rwanda grows hot peppers for Hema， he may get about ．A． 10 dollars a weekB． 1，600 yuan a monthC． 500 dollars a yearD． 16，000 yuan half a year（4）What can we learn from the passage？A． Many types of products have been offered in Africa Hema Village．B． Hot peppers from Africa have a large market all around the world．C． Hema Xiansheng paid for Herman's seven﹣year education in China．D． Herman hopes to do something to improve people's lives in Rwanda．四、词汇（本题共15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分）．A. 请依据括号中的中文提示、英文释义或句意，写出句中所缺单词，使句子通顺．21．（1分）Huawei was the （获胜者） in the worldwide smartphone market in April， 2024，22．（1分）Many visitors come to Beijing and

National Nature Reserve． Li is the president of a milu conservation association in Yueyang and head of a local milu and bird rescue center， where 11 deer， including Diandian， have their families． Li and his workmates need to work extra hours to take care of the animals from March until mid﹣May． He remembers March 18 this year． He fed Diandian some fresh shoots and leaves for breakfast as usual， and moments later when he returned，a newborn milu was right beside her． Since it is her third baby and born in the third month of the year，people named it Sansan， referring to "three﹣three"． Li has developed a deep affection for milu and made up his mind to protect them． "As our country is paying more attention to environmental and wildlife protection， people are increasingly aware that milu are state﹣protected animalsm，" Li said．Milu habitats （栖息地） are usually centered around water， and fishing equipment that used to be a threat to the animals is no longer seen in nature reserves． On May 27， a team of experts went to watch milu near Dongting Lake． It takes time and luck to meet one and count them especially when they live in the thick reeds that are 4 to 5 meters tall． The team leader Song， saw a milu for the first time when he was studying for his doctorate in zoology early in 2009． Since then， he has helped protect the habitats at Dongting Lake． As the flood season is coming，

The library, which was built in 1945, houses a vastcollection of books, magazines, and multimedia resources. However, in recent years, the library has faced a significant challenge: a steady decline in the number of young people visiting the facility.The decline in young visitors can be attributed to several factors. First, the rise of digital media has led many young people to prefer online entertainment over traditional reading.

Additionally, Emily wants to partner with local schools and businesses to create a more integrated approach to education and community life.The community has shown mixed reactions to Emily’s plans.

for you to have in your life? Someboy mentions hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck.If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically(按字母表旳次序)and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…, you can change an English word into a number.So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98, meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96, while love: 12+15+22+5=54, and luck: 12+21+3+11=47, a small mark.None of these words can give one a full mark.What about money or prayer(祈祷)? They can’t, either.Then what else? Don’t be worried.You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, whenyou change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude(态度).Yes, attitude is the word.See for yourself: attitude:1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100, a full mark.Different attitudes lead to different courses of life.Most times people hope for a better life.It is possible that one will have a change for the better

Americans had already invented barbecues.But the first barbecues, in fact ,were the invention of the Taino Indians of Haiti, who dried their meat on raised frames(架子)of sticks over fires.Spanish explorers spelled the Taino word as barbacoa, and as time passed, English settlers along the Atlantic coat had their own barbecues.One summer day in 1773, Benjamin Lynde, a citizen of Massachusetts, wrote in his diary, “Fair and hot ; Browne;hack overset.”That is , on a bright and hot day he went to the Brownes to attedn a barbecue, and his carriage(马车)fell over.It shows that the barbecue had its social occasion by that rge animals would be roasted whole on frames over hot fires, and neighbours would be invited to dinner.In later centuries, as settlers moved to the west, the barbecue went along with it, reaching an especially large size in Texas, where a pit (坑)for fuels(燃料) such as tree branches might be over ten feet deep.Today , the barbecue grills(烧烤架)which are fueled by charcoal(木炭) or electricity are likely to be small and easy to move , and can cook only parts of an animal at a time, but people still have barbecues out of doors and always invite their neighbours or

These are ren, yi, li, zhi and xin. They are general virtues (美德) around theworld. The most important two are ren and li.Ren is the feeling of care and love we should have for others. Confucius explained ren could best be understood as loving others. He is famous for teaching people “What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others”. It is quite similar to what is known in the West as the Golden Rule (treat others as you wish to be treated).While the meaning of ren is easy to understand, li is a little harder to express. It can be thought of as duty or even respect. Generally, li is the way we should connect with people in our everyday life. In Confucian writings, discussions about li include the proper way to drink tea and how to remember ancestors (祖先). While ren is mostly about our opinions and feelings, li is about how we express our opinions and feelings towards others and towards the world around us.Perhaps the most well-known Confucian virtue is xiao. This is the duty children have to their parents. Xiao means loving, respecting, obeying and taking care of one’s parents in their old age. In Confucianism, xiao is important for a harmonious (和谐的) society: Without it, the whole world would fall into a mess.14．Which are the most important of the Five Constants?A．Ren and yi.B．Ren and li.C．Li and xin.D．Yi and zhi. 15．What is the best Chinese for the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?A．博学于文，约之以礼。
