24、Cinyee Chiu, an artist from Taiwan, is always happy to try something new. Her amazing works won lots of prizes. Among them “24 Solar Terms(节气)” is the most popular.
Ancient Chinese divided a year into 24 parts according to the changes of the weather. It’s the 24 solar terms. But not everyone knows them well. Cinyee Chiu put the 24 solar terms in pictures to help people understand them better.
Cinyee turned each solar term into an animal. But these animals are not just animals. You can also find seasonal fruits, vegetables or beautiful flowers on them.
When spring comes, water gets warm and fish start to swim around. So Cinyee chose fish as a symbol of Beginning of Spring. Also, she drew spring vegetables, Chinese chives(韭菜)on the back of the fish.
White Dew falls on about September 8th. It shows the beginning of the cool autumn. There are colourful leaves and cooler nights at this time of year. As the temperature falls, white dew(露珠)is often seen on the grass and trees at night. For White Dew, Cinyee chose a raccoon(浣熊)— a small animal with thick hair. She drew white spots(小圆点)on the raccoon to show dew. And she used the dragon fruit to show the colours in autumn.

25、We may know that there are four basic periods(时期) for human beings to pass through when you enter and live in another country. This process helps you deal with culture shock(冲击).
Culture shock begins with the “honeymoon period”. This is the time when you first arrive in a place where everything about the new culture is strange and exciting. You see new things, hear new sounds and language, eat new kinds of food. This period can last for quite a long time because you feel very happy.
Unluckily, the second period can be more difficult. After you have got used to your new life, you can become very tired and begin to miss your motherland, your family, your friends, your pets and so on. All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more worrying when you face them in a foreign country. This period can be very difficult and lead to moving backwards quickly.
The third period is called the “adjustment period”. This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the new country. Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor.
The fourth period can be called “at ease at last”. Now you feel quite comfortable in your new place. You can deal with most problems that you have. You may still have problems with language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them. At this time, you may feel a little uncomfortable if you go back to your motherland.
【1】Which of the following can you NOT experience when you first arrive in a new place ?
A.Seeing new things.
B.Hearing new language.
C.Eating new kinds of food.

【2】In which period may you find that things are NOT so bad?
A.The 1st period.
B.The 2nd period.
C.The 3rd period.
D.The 4th period.

A.Things in a new place become much easier.
B.The things you meet become harder, but you can solve them.
C.You have got used to the new life basically.
D.You have completely got used to the new life.
【4】Why did the writer write this passage?

B.To tell us why we will experience culture shock in a new place .
C.To tell us how to deal with culture shock.
D.To ask for advice on how to deal with culture shock.
26、Fan Shenghua, 60, is one of the inheritors (传承人) of the Xihu Longjing tea roasting technique (炒制技艺). His palms tell you everything — they’re thick, rough, and full of calluses (老茧); they are a reminder of more than 40 years of hard work.
“You have to touch the leaves with your hands to see how much water should be left,” Fan said. “If there is not enough water, the leaves will break into pieces; if there is too much water, the tea will taste bitter (苦涩的).”
This traditional technique dates back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. It not only makes sure the tea is good, but is also an important part of Chinese tea culture. “Longjing tea leaves are famous for their color, taste and shape. Only by hand can we make the best of them. It’s like making a work of art,” Fan said.
These days, however, more people are using machines to do the job. “It’s easier, but the quality is not as good,” Fan said. “Machine-made tea floats (漂浮) longer in water and tastes bitter.”
In March, 2020, when President Xi Jinping visited Hangzhou, he watched Fan roast tea leaves. Fan changed the strength and movement of his hands as he felt the tea leaves roasting. President Xi Jinping later said, “The things made by two palms cannot be replaced by modern technology.”
Fan is now training apprentices (学徒). His son, a 27-year-old college graduate, is one of them. “It’s a tradition. We need to pass it down,” said the father.
【1】What does “This traditional technique” refer to?
A.Picking tea leaves.
B.A traditional way of drinking tea.
C.Roasting tea leaves by hand.
D.Using machines to heat tea leaves.
【2】According to Fan, what will happen to tea leaves if they have too much water?
A.They will go bad quickly.
B.They will break into pieces.
C.They will lose their fresh taste.
D.They will have a bitter taste.
【3】What does Fan think of roasting tea leaves with machines?
A.It cannot ensure the quality of the tea.
B.It makes tea leaves heavier.
C.It doesn’t save any energy.
D.It costs more money.
【4】What do we know from the last paragraph?
A.Fan will open his own school.
B.Fan’s son studied tea culture in college.
C.Fan’s son is learning how to roast tea leaves by hand.
D.Fan is making this technique popular worldwide.
27、 How do you feel about nature? After spending hours indoors, do you feel better when you visit your local park? Most people think that nature is good for our bodies and brains. However, humans are spending more time inside and less time outside. For example, the number of visitors to Canada's national parks is getting lower every year. And in countries such as the USA, only 10% of teenagers spend time outside every day. Many doctors feel that this is a problem in the twenty-first century.
As a result, some doctors are studying the connection between nature and health: one example of this is the work of Dr Matilda in Sweden. The doctor gave people a maths test. During the test, their heart rates (心率) were fast. After the test, one group of people sat in a 3D-virtual-reality (虚拟现实) room for fifteen minutes with pictures and sounds of nature. Their heart rates were slower than people's in the other group.
The virtual touch with nature helped them feel more relaxed. Another good example of how nature is good for health comes from Canada. In Toronto, researchers studied 31,000 people living in the city. In general, they found that healthier people lived near parks.
Because of studies like these, some countries and cities want nature to be part of people's everyday life. In Dubai, for example, there are plans for a new shopping mall with a large garden so shoppers can relax outside with trees, plants and water. In Switzerland, 'forest schools' are popular. Schoolchildren study their subjects in the forests and do lots of exercise outside. And South Korea is another good example: it has new forests near its cities and around 13 million people visit these forests every year. So after building cities for so long, perhaps it's now time to start rebuilding nature.
【1】What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?
A.Teenagers' problem in the 21st century.
B.How much time we spend outdoors.
C.Visiting your local park.
D.Feeling about nature.
【2】What do the results of the studies show?
A.More and more Canadians will live near parks.
B.The maths test is difficult and makes people nervous.
C.Nature can help people feel more relaxed and be healthier.
D.People's heart rates get slower in a 3D-virtual-reality room.
【3】What can we infer from the last sentence of the passage?
A.Nature is more important than cities.
B.Country life is healthier than city life.
C.People have lived in the cities for so long.
D.Nature should be part of people's daily life.
