A
The true meaning of a cup of coffee
During this year's National Day holiday, I took part in a special activity at a local Starbucks
store. The experience deepened my understanding of the job of a barista (咖啡吧服务员).
When a barista puts on his apron (围裙), asks a customer (顾客) what he or she would like to
drink and makes a cup of coffee by hand, what he really is presenting is not only a drink but also
英语试题 第 2页 共 8页
{#{QQABIQaAoggAAhAAAQhCUwVyCgKQkAACACoGAAAMIAAAgQFABAA=}#}
his warmth and enthusiasm (热情).
I experienced all of these through the special activity at the coffee shop.
After a short speech given by the shop manager, I started my “barista” challenge. I introduced
different types of coffee to my “customer”, kindly asked about his preferences and recommended
the new drinks available for the season. When he finally placed his order and “paid” with a smile,
I felt a great sense of accomplishment (成就感).
I also learned latte art (咖啡拉花). I carefully poured the milk foam(泡沫) into the coffee
from a relatively high place. Then, I gradually lowered the milk jug(罐) and moved it back and
forth (来回地) to“draw”a beautiful“8”on the surface of the coffee.
I always smile when I take my drink from a barista. Through this activity, I now know what
it's like to work as a barista. People are connected not by a cup of coffee but by the warmth it
delivers(传递). With the rapid development of society, AI technology is helping us do many things,
but the warmth and kindness between people can never be replaced (代替).
( )26.Which of the following is the right order of making latte art
①lower the milk jug ② pour the milk foam ③ move the jug back and forth
A.①②③ B.③①② C.②①③ D.②③①
( )27.The underlined word “gradually" could be replaced by______
A. quickly B.really C. finally D.slowly
( )28. What is the true meaning of a cup of coffee
A. Warmth and enthusiasm. B. Latte art.
C. AI technology. D. A sense of accomplishment.
B
Shanghai's First “Forest Library”
On February 20th, 2023, the first “forest library” in Shanghai opened to the public. It’s
known as Read & Joy Forest. Now readers can relax and read in a natural environment.
The “forest library” was started by Pudong New Area and Shanghai Library. It is in a green
space area near Shanghai Library East, which opened in September, 2022. With an area of 20, 546
square meters, it allows visitors to take an enjoyable walk in the quiet forest.
The library is in the open air. It is designed to keep the forest as it is. To protect the forest, all
the green spaces are connected by wooden walk ways. It offers many benches(长凳 ) and an
information booth(亭) .
“It’s not only a place for lending books, or a reading room, but also an open space for
enjoying fresh air and the smell of trees. It offers different reading experiences to readers,” says
Chen Chao, director of Shanghai Library. Most of the visitors to the “forest library” are young
people and parents with their children. They enjoy reading in the woods or taking a walk in the
forest.
If you are looking for such a place away from busy world, then you must go there to enjoy
reading outdoors.

( )31. Which of the following best shows the structure(结构) of the passage (P=Paragraph)
C
读下面的文章，然后判断文章后面 32～35 的问题，正确的涂 T，错误的涂 F。
In Britain, Boxing Day(节礼日) is usually celebrated on December 26th. It is the following
day after Christmas Day. However, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like
Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it’s a non-working day in the whole of
Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public
holiday.
The exact origin (起源) of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is during the Middle
Ages. When great ships were setting off to discover the new land, a Christmas Box was placed by
an important person on each ship. Those sailors (水手) who wanted to have a safe return would
drop money into the box. It was sealed up and kept on board until the ship came home safely.
Then the box was handed over to the important person. But he wouldn’t open it to share them with
the poor until Christmas.
One more thought is about the “Alms Box(施舍箱)” in every church on Christmas Day.
People put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas, that
is why that day became known as Boxing Day.
Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of
Boxing Day. They give away their time, services and money to Food Banks. And they provide
gifts for the poor to help families in need. Now spending time with family and shopping are
popular Boxing Day activities.
( )32. If Christmas Day is on a Saturday, Boxing Day will be celebrated on December 27th.
( )33.Sailors dropped money into the Christmas Box in order to have a safe return.
( )34.The traditional spirit of Boxing Day is spending time with family and shopping.
( )35.The main idea of the passage is introducing the origins of Boxing Day.

Giving Direction in Different Places
If you ask people of different countries “Could you tell me the way to the post office ”，you
will get different answers. In Japan, people use landmarks(路标 ) instead of street names. For
example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. 36 The post
office is across from the bus stop.”
In Kansas, America, there are no towns or buildings within(在......之内)miles. So instead of
landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. For example, people will say, “Go north
two miles. 37
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions. They will often say, “Follow
me.” 38 Sometimes if the person doesn't know the answer to your question, he or she,
like a New Yorker, might say, “Sorry, I have no idea. ” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I
don't know”. 39 They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. A visitor can

often get lost in Yucatan!
40 You might not understand a person’s words, but maybe you can understand his
or her body language. He or she will usually point to the correct direction. Go on in that direction
and you may find the post office!
A. Turn east, and then go another mile.
B. Don't be afraid to go to a strange place.
C. But one thing will help you everywhere.
D. It's important to ask questions in a polite way.
E. People there think “I don't know” is impolite.
F. Turn left at a big hotel and go past a fruit market.
G. Then he or she will take you through the streets of the city to the post office.

Many Chinese people may know what presents to get for their moms on Mother's Day, but
not many know Mother's Day is actually a festival from abroad.
Mother's Day first appeared in the United States during the early 20th century. The festival
spread to China as early as the 1980s and was widely accepted.
Why did a foreign festival become popular in China In fact, Chinese traditional culture has
always encouraged to show our deep love to parents. There are many stories which show
children's respect(尊敬 )in ancient China. For example, “mother love” is a repeated subject in
Chinese ancient poems, like Song of the Parting Son by Meng Jiao, a poet of the Tang Dynasty.
Now this poem is still a must in the school textbooks. Children in China are brought up with the
education of thanking our parents.
On special days, people often use roses or forget-me-nots( 忘 忧 草 ) to express love.
Carnations(康乃馨) are considered as the perfect flowers for mothers around the world, but few
know that China has its own flower for mothers—the tiger lily(虎百合).
Love for mothers can have different ways of expression. What matters most is love, not the
festival itself. What mothers truly want is perhaps just a simple expression of love from their
children.
61.The country which Mother's Day comes from:___________________________________
62. The reason why Mother's Day is also popular in China:____________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
63. The education Chinese children are brought up with:______________________________
64.The special flower for mothers in China:________________________________________
65.The true thing mothers want:_________________________________________________

In China, safety education is becoming more and more important now. The last Monday in
March is for students to learn it at school. It helps students learn more about what they should do
to keep themselves safe. What are the accidents at school Take a look.
Stampedes(踩踏), earthquakes and fires are the main accidents at school.
A stampede always happens in crowded places. When students around you begin to push, just
stand there and try to hold onto something. If you fall down in the crowd, move to one side and
protect your head with your hands around .
When earthquakes happen, you can get under a desk quickly and hold on. It'll protect you
from falling things. If you are outdoors, find a place away from buildings, trees and power lines.
When there's a fire, leave the classroom quickly. It's better to put something wet over your
mouth and nose. In this way, you won't breathe in smoke. Many people die in a fire, not because
of the fire but smoke. It makes them cough and they can't breathe. That's very dangerous! So when
you want to get out, you should make yourself close to the floor. Then you can breathe some fresh
air.

The true meaning of a cup of coffee
During this year's National Day holiday, I took part in a special activity at a local Starbucks store. The experience deepened my understanding of the job of a barista (咖啡吧服务员).
When a barista puts on his apron (围裙), asks a customer (顾客) what he or she would like to drink and makes a cup of coffee by hand, what he really is presenting is not only a drink but also his warmth and enthusiasm (热情).
I experienced all of these through the special activity at the coffee shop.
After a short speech given by the shop manager, I started my “barista” challenge. I introduced different types of coffee to my “customer”, kindly asked about his preferences and recommended the new drinks available for the season. When he finally placed his order and “paid” with a smile, I felt a great sense of accomplishment (成就感).
I also learned latte art (咖啡拉花). I carefully poured the milk foam(泡沫) into the coffee from a relatively high place. Then, I gradually lowered the milk jug(罐) and moved it back and forth (来回地) to“draw”a beautiful“8”on the surface of the coffee.
I always smile when I take my drink from a barista. Through this activity, I now know what it's like to work as a barista. People are connected not by a cup of coffee but by the warmth it delivers(传递). With the rapid development of society, AI technology is helping us do many things, but the warmth and kindness between people can never be replaced (代替).
( )26.Which of the following is the right order of making latte art
①lower the milk jug ② pour the milk foam ③ move the jug back and forth
A. ①②③ B.③①② C. ②①③ D. ②③①
( )27.The underlined word “gradually" could be replaced by______
A. quickly B.really C. finally D.slowly
( )28. What is the true meaning of a cup of coffee
A. Warmth and enthusiasm. B. Latte art.
C. AI technology. D. A sense of accomplishment.

Shanghai's First “Forest Library”
On February 20th, 2023, the first “forest library” in Shanghai opened to the public. It’s known as Read & Joy Forest. Now readers can relax and read in a natural environment.
The “forest library” was started by Pudong New Area and Shanghai Library. It is in a green space area near Shanghai Library East, which opened in September, 2022. With an area of 20, 546 square meters, it allows visitors to take an enjoyable walk in the quiet forest.
The library is in the open air. It is designed to keep the forest as it is. To protect the forest, all the green spaces are connected by wooden walk ways. It offers many benches(长凳) and an information booth(亭) .
“It’s not only a place for lending books, or a reading room, but also an open space for enjoying fresh air and the smell of trees. It offers different reading experiences to readers,” says Chen Chao, director of Shanghai Library. Most of the visitors to the “forest library” are young people and parents with their children. They enjoy reading in the woods or taking a walk in the forest.
If you are looking for such a place away from busy world, then you must go there to enjoy reading outdoors.

读下面的文章，然后判断文章后面32～35的问题，正确的涂T，错误的涂F。
In Britain, Boxing Day(节礼日) is usually celebrated on December 26th. It is the following day after Christmas Day. However, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it’s a non-working day in the whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.
The exact origin (起源) of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is during the Middle Ages. When great ships were setting off to discover the new land, a Christmas Box was placed by an important person on each ship. Those sailors (水手) who wanted to have a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed up and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the important person. But he wouldn’t open it to share them with the poor until Christmas.
One more thought is about the “Alms Box(施舍箱)” in every church on Christmas Day. People put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas, that is why that day became known as Boxing Day.
Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day. They give away their time, services and money to Food Banks. And they provide gifts for the poor to help families in need. Now spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities.
( )32. If Christmas Day is on a Saturday, Boxing Day will be celebrated on December 27th. ( )33.Sailors dropped money into the Christmas Box in order to have a safe return.
( )34.The traditional spirit of Boxing Day is spending time with family and shopping.
( )35.The main idea of the passage is introducing the origins of Boxing Day.

Giving Direction in Different Places
If you ask people of different countries “Could you tell me the way to the post office ”，you will get different answers. In Japan, people use landmarks(路标) instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. 36 The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In Kansas, America, there are no towns or buildings within(在......之内)miles. So instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. For example, people will say, “Go north two miles. 37
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions. They will often say, “Follow me.” 38 Sometimes if the person doesn't know the answer to your question, he or she, like a New Yorker, might say, “Sorry, I have no idea. ” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don't know”. 39 They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. A visitor can often get lost in Yucatan!

Many Chinese people may know what presents to get for their moms on Mother's Day, but not many know Mother's Day is actually a festival from abroad.
Mother's Day first appeared in the United States during the early 20th century. The festival spread to China as early as the 1980s and was widely accepted.
Why did a foreign festival become popular in China In fact, Chinese traditional culture has always encouraged to show our deep love to parents. There are many stories which show children's respect(尊敬)in ancient China. For example, “mother love” is a repeated subject in Chinese ancient poems, like Song of the Parting Son by Meng Jiao, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. Now this poem is still a must in the school textbooks. Children in China are brought up with the education of thanking our parents.
On special days, people often use roses or forget-me-nots(忘忧草) to express love. Carnations(康乃馨) are considered as the perfect flowers for mothers around the world, but few know that China has its own flower for mothers—the tiger lily(虎百合).
Love for mothers can have different ways of expression. What matters most is love, not the festival itself. What mothers truly want is perhaps just a simple expression of love from their children.
61.The country which Mother's Day comes from:___________________________________
62. The reason why Mother's Day is also popular in China:____________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
63. The education Chinese children are brought up with:______________________________
64.The special flower for mothers in China:________________________________________
65.The true thing mothers want:_________________________________________________

Stampedes(踩踏), earthquakes and fires are the main accidents at school.
A stampede always happens in crowded places. When students around you begin to push, just stand there and try to hold onto something. If you fall down in the crowd, move to one side and protect your head with your hands around .
When earthquakes happen, you can get under a desk quickly and hold on. It'll protect you from falling things. If you are outdoors, find a place away from buildings, trees and power lines.
When there's a fire, leave the classroom quickly. It's better to put something wet over your mouth and nose. In this way, you won't breathe in smoke. Many people die in a fire, not because of the fire but smoke. It makes them cough and they can't breathe. That's very dangerous! So when you want to get out, you should make yourself close to the floor. Then you can breathe some fresh air.
