Nowadays, experts call on high school students to read as many literary classics (文学名著) as possible. What do you think of it
Linda: We don’t have enough life experiences, so we may have difficulty understanding the deeper classics. But this shouldn’t be a reason to give up reading classics. As Francis Bacon said, “Reading makes a full man; conference (谈话) a ready man; and writing an exact man.”
Frank: Without background and life experiences, students can’t understand what writers want to express in their classics. While reading, some students mainly pay more attention to words and expressions than the hidden ideas. For this reason, reading classics might be a waste of time.
Curry: Classics are the treasures our ancestors left us. We should read them and pass them down. As the old Chinese saying goes “One who is filled with knowledge always behaves well.” Classics can open up our minds and develop our interest in culture.
Mary: On the one hand, not all classics are suitable for all students, as there are many difficult expressions and deep ideas. On the other hand, the special writing styles make it difficult for students to understand. So they won’t probably choose them.
24. Who agrees with the idea of reading literary classics
A. Linda &Curry. B. Linda &Mary. C. Curry &Frank. D. Frank &Mary.
25. What does Curry think of literary classics
A. They improve students’ reading skills. B. They help students learn more words.
C. They develop students’ interest in culture. D. They can change students’ personalities (个性).
26. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Why literary classics become popular in high schools.
B. If high school students should read literary classics.
C. Why high school students should read literary classics.
D. How high schools should help students improve reading skills.

The elephant-foot drum is one of the most famous musical instruments of the Dai ethnic group. It got its name because it looks like the white elephant’s leg. The drum-making skill was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in 2011.
The elephant-foot drum dance is very popular among the Dai people. It can be danced by one or two people or a group of people. It is often performed during festivals. This form of dance was at first used to scare off evil and welcome the new year. Now it is a way for the Dai people to show their joy as well as their village culture. It also shows that Dai people are gentle, simple, hospitable (热情好客的) and inclusive (包容的).
Xie Wenping, 32, used to follow his grandfather who made elephant-foot drums for a living to learn how to make a drum. “I wanted to make more and better drums when I grew up.” Xie said.
While elephant-foot drums carry great cultural meaning, making an elephant-foot drum takes many steps and a long time. “Making an elephant-foot drum takes about 30 steps and one month,” Xie explained.
The work of making the drum is dull (沉闷的), but whenever Xie sees his grandfather’s smile while making the drum, he feels encouraged again. “Over the years, the number of craftsmen skilled in making elephant-foot drums has become smaller,” Xie said. “I feel like it’s my responsibility (责任) to carry it on.”
Xie tries to get more people to know about the drum. “I was thinking about how the drum is big and difficult to carry around. How could I make it easier for the elephant-foot drum to spread outside Yunnan and let more people know it ” Xie said. He came up with the idea of making key chains shaped like the elephant-foot drum. “Tourists love them!” Xie said.
27. What was the elephant-foot drum dance for in the very beginning
A. To help the old people make a living.
B. To drive away evil and welcome the new year.
C. To bring out some good qualities of Dai people.
D. To show the happiness and village culture of Dai people.
28. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A. It makes Xie feel bored to make the elephant-foot drum.
B. It may not be easy for people to carry the big elephant-foot drum.
C. Craftsmen have to spend quite a long time making the elephant-foot drum.
D. Xie hopes to do more for the spread and development of the elephant-foot drum.
29. Where is the passage most probably taken from
A. A science report. B. A health magazine. C. A culture book. D. A travel guide.
30. What might be the best title for the passage
A. The story of making the drum B. An amazing musical instrument

“Sir, this is what I have found in the blind man’s trunk who died yesterday. It looks to me like a map of some hidden treasure.” said Jim.
“Indeed it does” agreed the Squire. “We should set sail at once to look for this treasure.” It was a long journey. In the ship Jim met an one-legged sailor who was the ship’s cook. His name was Long John Silver. He always had his pet parrot put on his shoulder. Silver was very friendly and had Jim rolling with laughter (哈哈大笑) with his stories.
One stormy night Jim feeling hungry, walked up to one of the barrels (桶) that contained apples. Suddenly. he heard voices, Jim felt suspicious (怀疑的) and jumped inside the barrel. Once inside he froze and held his breath (呼吸) to listen carefully. Long John Silver was talking. He was saying, “Tomorrow as soon as I give the signal, we will take all people on the ship as prisoners (囚犯). Then we can take the map and dig up the treasure. Let us go back to our places before anyone sees.”
When Jim was sure everyone had gone, he climbed out of the barrel. He told the Squire about Long John Siler’s plan. The next morning, the island was visible (可见的) in the distance. Jim jumped off the ship and swam to the bank. There he met a ragged old man, who said, “I am Ben Gunn. I have been shipwrecked (遭遇海难) in this island for twenty years. I suppose you have come to look for the treasure.” Jim nodded and said, “I jumped off the ship, there are dangerous men on that ship. Please help me, my friend the Squire is on that ship too.”
Ben Gunn knew the island very well. He laid out traps for Long John Silver and his men. Jim and Ben Gunn dug up the treasure and swam to the ship. Jim, Ben and the Squire sailed back home leaving Long John Silver and his men in the island forever.

US company Motorola created the first cell phone in 1973. The brick-sized phone could only make calls for 30 minutes. Today, we have 5G smartphones that look very different and can do a lot more. What will the future phones be like
Most foldable (可折叠的) phones today can only fold the screen up and down or left and right. But in the future, phones will be much more flexible (灵活的). In October 2023, Motorola put out a new phone. People can wear it like a bracelet (手环) and bend it into different shapes. Apple is also working on a way to make foldable screens with fewer creases.
Not only will the phones become flexible, but they will also be able to fix themselves. Professor Zhenan Bao from Stanford University made an electronic skin that can fix itself with heat and magnets (磁). This skin acts like human skin, stretching (拉伸) without tearing (撕破). If it is used to make phones, the technology could lead to devices that could fix scratches (划痕) by themselves.
People will also power phones in ways that are different from now. For example, using solar energy. In 2016, Kyocera Corporation from Japan and French company Sun Partner Technologies made a phone with solar panels (电池板) in the screen. It takes only three minutes to charge. But it still needs traditional batteries (电池). In the future, faster and independent solar charging could make solar-powered phones more popular.

Nowadays, experts call on high school students to read as many literary classics (文学名著) as possible. What do you think of it
Linda: We don’t have enough life experiences, so we may have difficulty understanding the deeper classics. But this shouldn’t be a reason to give up reading classics. As Francis Bacon said, “Reading makes a full man; conference (谈话) a ready man; and writing an exact man.”
Frank: Without background and life experiences, students can’t understand what writers want to express in their classics. While reading, some students mainly pay more attention to words and expressions than the hidden ideas. For this reason, reading classics might be a waste of time.
Curry: Classics are the treasures our ancestors left us. We should read them and pass them down. As the old Chinese saying goes “One who is filled with knowledge always behaves well.” Classics can open up our minds and develop our interest in culture.
Mary: On the one hand, not all classics are suitable for all students, as there are many difficult expressions and deep ideas. On the other hand, the special writing styles make it difficult for students to understand. So they won’t probably choose them.
24. Who agrees with the idea of reading literary classics
A. Linda &Curry. B. Linda &Mary. C. Curry &Frank. D. Frank &Mary.
25. What does Curry think of literary classics
A. They improve students’ reading skills. B. They help students learn more words.

The elephant-foot drum is one of the most famous musical instruments of the Dai ethnic group. It got its name because it looks like the white elephant’s leg. The drum-making skill was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in 2011.
The elephant-foot drum dance is very popular among the Dai people. It can be danced by one or two people or a group of people. It is often performed during festivals.

It also shows that Dai people are gentle, simple, hospitable (热情好客的) and inclusive (包容的).
Xie Wenping, 32, used to follow his grandfather who made elephant-foot drums for a living to learn how to make a drum. “I wanted to make more and better drums when I grew up.” Xie said.
While elephant-foot drums carry great cultural meaning, making an elephant-foot drum takes many steps and a long time. “Making an elephant-foot drum takes about 30 steps and one month,” Xie explained.
The work of making the drum is dull (沉闷的), but whenever Xie sees his grandfather’s smile while making the drum, he feels encouraged again. “Over the years, the number of craftsmen skilled in making elephant-foot drums has become smaller,” Xie said. “I feel like it’s my responsibility (责任) to carry it on.”
Xie tries to get more people to know about the drum. “I was thinking about how the drum is big and difficult to carry around. How could I make it easier for the elephant-foot drum to spread outside Yunnan and let more people know it ” Xie said. He came up with the idea of making key chains shaped like the elephant-foot drum. “Tourists love them!” Xie said.
27. What was the elephant-foot drum dance for in the very beginning
A. To help the old people make a living.
B. To drive away evil and welcome the new year.
C. To bring out some good qualities of Dai people.
D. To show the happiness and village culture of Dai people.

“Sir, this is what I have found in the blind man’s trunk who died yesterday. It looks to me like a map of some hidden treasure.” said Jim.
“Indeed it does.” agreed the Squire. “We should set sail at once to look for this treasure.” It was a long journey. In the ship Jim met an one-legged sailor who was the ship’s cook. His name was Long John Silver. He always had his pet parrot put on his shoulder. Silver was very friendly and had Jim rolling with laughter (哈哈大笑) with his stories.
One stormy night Jim feeling hungry, walked up to one of the barrels (桶) that contained apples. Suddenly. he heard voices, Jim felt suspicious (怀疑的) and jumped inside the barrel. Once inside he froze and held his breath (呼吸) to listen carefully. Long John Silver was talking. He was saying, “Tomorrow as soon as I give the signal, we will take all people on the ship as prisoners (囚犯). Then we can take the map and dig up the treasure. Let us go back to our places before anyone sees.”
When Jim was sure everyone had gone, he climbed out of the barrel. He told the Squire about Long John Siler’s plan. The next morning, the island was visible (可见的) in the distance. Jim jumped off the ship and swam to the bank. There he met a ragged old man, who said, “I am Ben Gunn. I have been shipwrecked (遭遇海难) in this island for twenty years. I suppose you have come to look for the treasure.” Jim nodded and said, “I jumped off the ship, there are dangerous men on that ship. Please help me, my friend the Squire is on that ship too.”
Ben Gunn knew the island very well. He laid out traps for Long John Silver and his men. Jim and Ben Gunn dug up the treasure and swam to the ship. Jim, Ben and the Squire sailed back home leaving Long John Silver and his men in the island forever.

US company Motorola created the first cell phone in 1973. The brick-sized phone could only make calls for 30 minutes. Today, we have 5G smartphones that look very different and can do a lot more. What will the future phones be like
Most foldable (可折叠的) phones today can only fold the screen up and down or left and right. But in the future, phones will be much more flexible (灵活的). In October 2023, Motorola put out a new phone. People can wear it like a bracelet (手环) and bend it into different shapes. Apple is also working on a way to make foldable screens with fewer creases.
Not only will the phones become flexible, but they will also be able to fix themselves. Professor Zhenan Bao from Stanford University made an electronic skin that can fix itself with heat and magnets (磁). This skin acts like human skin, stretching (拉伸) without tearing (撕破). If it is used to make phones, the technology could lead to devices that could fix scratches (划痕) by themselves.
People will also power phones in ways that are different from now. For example, using solar energy. In 2016, Kyocera Corporation from Japan and French company Sun Partner Technologies made a phone with solar panels (电池板) in the screen. It takes only three minutes to charge. But it still needs traditional batteries (电池). In the future, faster and independent solar charging could make solar-powered phones more popular.

【答案】例文：
Dear John,
Thanks for your letter. I’m very glad to tell you something about the Chinese saying “Read 10,000 books and travel 10,000 miles.”
It means that it is important to read ten thousand books and walk ten thousand miles. It tells us that reading and travelling can make us learn more knowledge and help us learn a lot about the world.
I like reading, because I have learned a lot from books. I usually read after I finish my homework or before I go to bed. I also like travelling. The visit to Beijing last year is my favourite trip. I visited the places of interest in Beijing. I have learned about its traditional culture. I really understand the meaning of “He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man.”
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
