24、   For most teenagers, the kitchen may be a mysterious(神秘的) place. But Flynn McGarry is already able to take charge of(掌管) a kitchen.

At the age of 15, he was already a well-known teenage chef in the US. He has opened his own dining club at home and works with some of the best restaurants in his country.

McGarry’s love for cooking started at the age of 10. He practiced his knife skills after school and taught himself from books and the Internet. In his room, there are no video games, basketballs or movie posters, but pots, cutting boards and pans(平底锅).

When he was 11, McGarry’s parents helped turn his bedroom into a monthly supper club called Eureka. Each month, he hosted his mother’s friends and soon won the title of “culinary prodigy(烹饪神童)”. Now, people pay $160(979 yuan) per person to eat at Eureka.

McGarry does not stick with just simple types of cuisine(菜肴). He likes creating interesting dishes. “I could take a carrot and raise it to this amazing level that you’d never think you’re eating a carrot,” he said. The New York Times described his meals as “creative enough to make an experienced chef inferior(逊色的).”

As for the future, McGarry dreams of being a Michelin-starred chef. He plans to open his own restaurant by 19 and make it, as he puts it, “the best restaurant in the world.”

【1】If Martin go to Eureka with his parents for dinner, how much do they pay in total?

A. $160. B. 480 yuan. C. $2,937. D. 2937 yuan.

25、Many people are trying to learn a new language. Some of them consider it as a hobby, while others have to learn a language because it is required by their jobs or study. As a foreigner who is really interested in Chinese culture, I like learning Chinese.

It is thought that a person needs to know at least 3,000 Chinese characters (汉字) to understand most Chinese newspapers. The problem for most foreigners, however, is that knowing 3,000 characters sounds like an impossible task, for many of the Chinese characters look the same. That’s why some people give up halfway. It’s the most difficult part for me, too. But I manage to learn how to write each character by watching videos online. Whenever 1 saw a character I didn’t know in the street or on a menu, I would just write it down on my phone and then look it up. Slowly I’ve learned the characters that are common in daily life.

It’s also important to listen to Chinese as much as possible. I downloaded (下载) a lot of listening materials onto my phone and listened to them on the way to school, work and even dates with my friends. 1 also watched a lot of Chinese TV shows and films, where the words are not so difficult and there are always subtitles (字幕). In this way, I’ve also learned how to express myself like a native.

As for speaking, I practice talking about different topics in Chinese when I am cycling around, effectively talking to myself or in my head, thinking through different conversations and scenarios (场景). For example, whenever I was going to a shop, I would think how to say that in Chinese. It helps me to think in a Chinese way, which is really important.

Learning a language is never easy. Basically, I just use every tool on hand and take my learning step by step, and I’m still learning new things to this day!

【1】The author learns Chinese because __________.

A．he wants to move to China.

B．he has found a job in China.

C．he hopes to know more about China.

【2】What’s the hardest part for the author to learn Chinese?

A．Reading.

B．Writing.

C．Speaking.

【3】What is the key point in practicing speaking?

A．Hanging out with Chinese friends.

B．Watching Chinese movies.

C．Thinking as a Chinese.

【4】What does the author suggest at the end of the passage?

A．It takes time to learn a language.

B．Chinese isn’t as hard as you think.

C．It’s easy to chat with Chinese people.

26、The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into the 24 Solar Terms (节气). The WinterSolstice (冬至) is the 22nd solar term of the year. From then on, the days become longer and the nights become shorter. The Winter Solstice also marks the arrival of the coldest season in the year.

28、根据短文内容，从短文前的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并将该选项前的番号填在答题卡相应位置。

The best-loved pig in Hong Kong is called McDull. His mum makes a wish that he will look like Chow Yun-fat or Tony Leung, but he is well-known only by a birthmark around his right eye.

Everything he tries, he fails. He wants to be an Olympic champion of qiangbaoshan （抢包山）, but the sport of catching the hottest baozi from a small mountain doesn’t really exist （存在）, of course. He dreams of going to the Maldives, but ends up on only a one-day tour of a Hong Kong landmark instead.

【1】    McDull was at first a supporting character in a story about his cousin McMug, a smart baby pig and “what parents expect of their children.” But interestingly, the wooden-headed McDull gradually became more attractive when he told his classmates that if he became the class monitor, he would treat everyone with strawberry cakes. McDull tried to speak out one sentence in his speech, “If you choose me, you will be...painful.” For him, it looks only a little bit different from an “A” when he gets an “E”.   【2】

【3】 In one of the McDull movies, he talks to the audience （观众）, “I suddenly realize that there is something you cannot have. No noodles, no Maldives, no golden medal, no money... Actually, being silly is not funny---it could mean failure （失败）. Being fat is not funny. Being fat does not even mean you are stronger. Disappointment is not funny, either. When I grow up, and face the strict world that isn’t funny, what should I do?” He is still happy, however. He always starts again with a new dream when one fails him.

【4】 The popularity of McDull sometimes makes his creator Alice Mark confused, who has some simple thoughts, such as God creates humans, because he loves humans and he wants them to be happy. “Maybe people see themselves and their friends in McDull. McDull makes people realize that they used to be as simple and happy as him. If there is a theme in all the McDull movies, it is about how a simple person keeps his or her simplicity in a world full of problems. 【5】  ” says Alice Mark.

29、Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage

“What can you do when you have done____________ but mess up(搞砸) your whole life long?” These were the words I heard when I turned on the TV the other day. They were coming  from one of  the  talk shows that are so popular on TV  these days.  I started  to  turn the channel but  the words  I had heard made me stop  for a moment.  I looked at the speaker of  them. He ____________ more  than 18 years old, but already he was writing off (认为……已失败) his life as a useless waste. 

I wanted to shout at him:" You're not dead yet!" 

It is so sad that so many people cannot ____________ their pasts and live in the present. There are so many people like that talk show guest. There are people still  in  their  teen years thinking that their lives are over. There are people in their twenties who already think they have missed the boat to success and happiness. There are people in their thirties and forties who sit around complaining that life has passed them by.  I want  to shout  to  them all:" Wake up! You're still____________! What have you done today?" If you want a happy  life, you can't just think about your past mistakes. If you want joy and love  in your  life, you have  to choose  them  today. God gives us a new chance at  life every  time we wake up in the morning. It is up to us to catch ____________. 

Today can be  the beginning of a new  life for each of us. We can choose  joy right now. We share love today. We can  live with hope starting at this moment. It doesn't matter how hard our past has been. Our present can be full of joy and our future can be full of happiness.  It doesn't matter  if we are eight or eighty—we can still make our  lives wonderful. Life isn't over ____________ your last heartbeat. Start today, then, to make your heart beat with joy, love, and light.
