The new animated film I am what I am (《雄狮少年》) has been a hot topic recently. Unlike many other Chinese animations(动画) that tell Chinese mythology(神话) or fairy tales, it tells a story about common people.

Ah Juan is a left-behind child in a small town of Guangdong. He lives a difficult life and is not popular among the kids. Many kids in the town look down upon him and refuse to play with him. One day, he meets a girl who has the same name as him. Inspired by her, Ah Juan develops interest in lion dancing and becomes more confident than before. As a result, he makes a decision to set up a lion team with his good friends Ah Mao and Ah Gou.

It turns out to be an encouraging(鼓舞人心的) story of pain and growth.

The team enters in a competition in the big city of Guangzhou and finds an experienced teacher to study under. Things are looking up. They practice lion dancing very hard and never give up when they meet difficulties, before they finally realize their dream.

Apart from the touching story itself, lion dancing is a highlight of the movie. One can learn more about this typical Chinese folk art, such as its history and skills.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) (孤独症) is a disability that can cause serious social, communication and behavioral(行为的) problems. People with ASD may not look different from common people, but their ways of communicating, behaving and learning may be different. Some people with ASD even need a lot of help in their daily lives.

People with ASD often have many problems. They might do things for many times and might not want changes in their daily activities. Many people with ASD may also have difficulty learning, paying attention or telling their needs. Symptoms of ASD begin during early childhood and probably last throughout a person’s life.

Diagnosing(诊断) ASD can be very difficult because there is no medical test, like a blood test to decide if a person has ASD or not. Doctors make a decision by looking at the child’s behavior and development. ASD can sometimes be diagnosed at 18 months or younger. By age 2, an experienced doctor can be very dependable in diagnosing ASD. However, many children may not see a doctor until much older.

There is now no cure(治愈) for ASD. But studies show that early treatment(治疗) can improve a child’s development, so it is important to talk to your child’s doctor as soon as possible.

We do not know all of the causes of ASD. However, most scientists agree that genes(基因) have something to do with the possibility of developing ASD.

If you think your family might have ASD, or you think there could be a problem with the way he or she plays, learns, speaks or acts, go to a doctor and share your opinions. If you’re not sure who to ask, call Early Childhood Helpline at 674-664-0198, or visit our website http://echcenter.org.

31. Which of the following behaviors may NOT belong to(属于) the children or adults with ASD?

 A. Doing something over and over again.

 B. Having trouble saying what they want.

 C. Being happy to make changes.

32. What can we infer(推断) from the article?

 A. The earlier an ASD kid is diagnosed, the better it is for his or her future.

 B. Doctors have no way to diagnose an ASD kid at all.

 C. Doctors can diagnose ASD with the help of blood test.

33. Who is the most possible ASD patient of the following people?

 A. Someone who likes to talk a lot.

 B. Someone who has a brother with ASD.

 C. Someone who sings in a strange voice.

34. What is the main purpose of writing this passage?

 A. To introduce ASD and let more people understand ASD better.

 B. To teach parents how to diagnose and cheer up ASD kids.

 C. To tell people some ways to provide ASD kids with care and love.

35. Where is this passage possibly from?

 A. A student’s diary.  B. A book report.  C. A medical magazine.

第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)

阅读下面短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项仅使用一次。

Have you ever argued with a friend, and said or done something you regretted? How to repair the broken relationship? 36. __________________ Before doing that, here is something you have to know.

Why do we argue?

We argue for all kinds of reasons. You might think your football team is fantastic, but your friend disagrees. 37. __________________ Sometimes, especially when you are angry, things can be out of control and you’ll say or do something you regret. Arguing and disagreeing with others are normal in our lives.

What does saying sorry mean?

We all make mistakes. Apologizing(道歉) is a way of admitting(承认) we’ve got something wrong and will try not to do it again. Ted, age 12, said, “Sometimes it’s hard to say sorry. 38. __________________” Dr. Jennifer Thomas, an expert in thoughts and feelings, believes an apology needs to show the other person that we’re really sorry.

What if it’s not my mistake?

Sometimes another person may pressure you into taking the blame(责备) when it’s not your  mistake. When you feel this is happening, there are some things you can do. 39. ______________ Then, you can explain to him or her how it made you feel. If you two still can’t agree with each other, you could ask a parent or teacher for help.

Does apologizing always work?

An apology isn’t a magic stick. 40. __________________ So even after you say sorry, you will still feel sad sometimes. But you can feel good about trying to fix things and promising to do better next time.

第三节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

Every year on March 5, China celebrates “Lei Feng Day”. It’s a day to encourage community service and volunteering.

Lei Feng was a soldier(士兵) in the People’s Liberation Army. He died in 1962, aged 22. His short life was filled with “selfless(无私的) service for the people”, reported China Daily.

As a non-Chinese man, I learned about Lei Feng once I came to China. The lesson was quite memorable(记忆深刻的).

One day, I was riding my bicycle down the street and a tire burst(车胎爆裂). A passer-by asked if I needed any help. He kindly guided me to a nearby bike stand for repair. Once we got there, I thanked him and asked what his name was in Chinese. He said, “I’m Lei Feng.” Not knowing who Lei Feng was, I replied, “Well, thank you, Lei Feng.” He and the others at the bike repair stand burst out laughing. I stood there confused(困惑的). Why were they all laughing?

A few months later, our Chinese teacher told us about Lei Feng, this hero of small acts of kindness and community spirit. I remembered the guy who helped me with my bicycle. Then it was my turn to laugh.

After this, I began to notice Lei Feng’s image(形象) on cultural souvenirs in local tourist shops. Learning more about his life, I think his spirit of public service is important. With threats(威胁) like the COVTD-19 pandemic(疫情) and natural disasters(灾难), we need people to lend a hand and show the “Lei Feng spirit” now more than ever.

41. Why does China celebrate “Lei Feng Day” each year?

42. How old was Lei Feng when he died?

43. What was the writer doing when the tire burst?

44. Did the passer-by who helped the writer give his real name?

45. After learning more about Lei Feng’s life, what does the writer think is important?
