For many girls from villages in China, a dream job could be anything, except working in a village. But Zhang Guifang, a 24-year-old college graduate, returned to her village instead of continuing running her business in Tianjin.
As a young member of the Communist Party of China, she was chosen as the Party secretary (书记) of Sanjia village in December, 2021. She once raised many ideas to develop her village, but they weren’t put into practice because of lacking money. The “rainbow village” idea was accepted because it didn’t cost a lot of money. Zhang hoped to bring in many tourists through this project and develop the local economy.
She spent five months planning the creation of wall paintings of colorful sunflowers, wings and balloons to make the houses and walls of the village beautiful. For the first time, Sanjia has become famous, with pictures of the village spreading widely on the Internet.
As a young village head, Zhang’s job isn’t easy. There are endless things to do, and there are no days off. She often cried at first and once wanted to give up. However, she told herself that no matter how hard things were, she would hold on for another month. Slowly, she was approved by many villagers, which improved her confidence and led her to set bigger goals.
Zhang hoped that as long as she was there, Sanjia would go in a better direction toward a bright future.
48. What did Zhang do in Tianjin
A. She ran her own business. B. She drew pictures for Sanjia village.
C. She opened a countryside study base. D. She sold bottles of water on the street.
49. The underlined word “approved” in Para. 4 means “__________”.

“Look! Letters from Leo! Granny will be excited!” Mom said.
Andy turned toward his mother. “Leo ”
“Granny’s oldest and favorite brother. He made her that special box that sits beside the window—locked up. The key’s been lost forever. Now about those letters...Granny will want them.”
Andy picked that special box and letters up, then took them to the kitchen. “What did you put in the box, Granny ” Andy asked.
“Nothing! I knew Leo would be joining the army soon. Just before he left, he locked my box and hid the key. He said he’d invented a word game for me and promised he’d send clues. We got letters but not one clue. Leo’s final letter arrived after we heard the heartbreaking news. Mother was so sad. She tore (撕) it in half.”
Granny watched Andy spread the letters on the table. She whispered, “I always thought mother threw away all of Leo’s letters.”
Andy pointed at one letter in two pieces. “This must be the last letter Leo sent home.”
Granny picked up one half of the letter, and read, “Dearest Littlest Sister...”
“Leo did send clues. Let’s tape the halves together.” Andy said.
Andy read, “Ewe reed four make ”
“Nonsense words,” Granny said.
Andy looked at the paper, then said, “Wait! If we read down, instead of across—in columns (列), not rows.” He read the words one by one “You need to read this aloud for it to make some sense.”
Granny’s eyes opened wide. “Leo was using homophones (同音异形词)!”
She began to read, “Go to the room where we ate. See the flower like the sun ”
Granny smiled. “The dining room is where we ate. The painting of a sunflower...”
Andy was on his way. In a few seconds, he returned, carrying the painting. They discovered another clue printed in light pencil on the back. Andy read, “Look above the hole where rain does not come down.See the broken time piece There! Inside!”
He ran to the fireplace then gave the clock to Granny. “This clock has never kept time.” Granny opened the clock’s tiny glass door and reached inside. “All those years. It’s been right here.” She opened the box with the key and looked into it.
There is a photo of a girl and her big brother. On the back of the photo was printed: I NEW you’d worked it out. Use this box for all your special treasures. Love, Leo.
Granny gently placed the photo and the letters inside the box. “My treasures,” she said.
51. How may the underlined words “see the flower like the sun” be shown in the letter
A. B. C. D.
52. When Granny said “Nonsense words”, she most probably felt _________.
A. curious B. worried C. hopeless D. confident

“Welcome to our new ‘classroom’!” said Chen Dong, one of the three astronauts of the Shenzhou XIV mission.
They were giving a science class 400 kilometers above Earth on October 12. It was the third space class from the Tiangong Space Station, but the first one from the Wentian lab module (实验舱) since its launch in July. The former two classes were held in the Tianhe core module (核心舱).
What does the new “classroom” look like Chen, together with Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe, showed us around. “The beds in the Tianhe module are placed horizontally (横着), while our beds are kept upright,” said Liu. That means astronauts in the Wentian lab module need to sleep standing up! But as Liu explained, people don’t feel any difference because there’s no gravity (重力) in space. Astronauts can even sleep on the ceiling or upside down!
The astronauts also showed their “space farm”, where lettuce, wheat, thale cress (拟南芥) and rice are grown. “Take a picture!” “Send the picture!” Through a voice-controlled camera, Chen already sent a picture of the thale cress to scientists on Earth. Then he used scissors to cut a sample (样本). “I’ll put it into a fridge at-80℃and later give it lo scientists on Earth,” said Chen. Scientists will study how the environment of space affects the growth of plants.
“Can you see the water drops coming from the leaves This is called ‘guttation’ (植物吐水现象).” said Liu, holding the well-grown rice. In space, the water drops are much bigger than those on Earth. So people can clearly see the guttation.
“We hope in the near future, we can harvest the food grown on our own,” said Chen. “Maybe one day, we can harvest food on the other planets like the moon or even Mars!”
54. How do astronauts in the Wentian module sleep
A. B. C. D.
55. How do scientists on Earth study the plants in the space station
A. By growing the plants in space themselves. B. By taking and collecting pictures themselves.
C. By studying the samples astronauts bring back.
D. By watching them through real-time (实时) video cameras.
56. What does the underlined word “it” in Para. 4 refer to
A. A picture. B. A pack of rice. C. A piece of lettuce. D. A piece of thale cress.
57. What can we infer (推测) from the last paragraph
A. Farmers can get crops on the moon soon. B. “Guttation” can be seen from leaves of rice.
C. Scientists will try to grow food on the moon or even Mars.
D. Lettuce, wheat, thale cress will be grown on other planets, too.

七、阅读表达（本大题共10分，每小题2分）
Chinese people like the red colour a lot. Even now, Chinese people like to refer to ourselves as Chizi, meaning the red descendant (子孙).
Red represents the motherland and authority. Official uniforms of the Tang Dynasty were red. In the Qing Dynasty, red was used on official caps to show different rankings. As we know, the Five-starred Red Flag was first raised on October 1st, 1949. Even nowadays, headlines of official documents (文件) are painted in red. This is why they are called red-head documents.
For ordinary people, red stands for happiness. For example, the word “double happiness” used for weddings is red. The bride (新娘) wears red clothes which are different from the white gowns of the west. During the Chinese Spring Festival, people will give red packets with money inside to the children as good wishes. Couplets (对联) hanging on both sides of the doors are written in red. The word red equals prettiness. The expression “hongyan” meaning red colour is a synonym of a beautiful girl. Red is also one of the most popular words used in the names of Chinese women. But in traffic lights red means stop driving. This is how the westerners like to use the red colour. It is because red is very bright, and is good for warning purposes. But it doesn’t really have any negative meanings.
1. What does Chizi mean
___________________________________________
2. When was the Five-starred Red Flag first raised
____________________________________________________
3. Why are official documents called red-head documents
_________________________________
4. When will people give red packets
____________________________________________________
5. What do you think of the red colour
_______________________________________________________
