Starting from 2020, Chinese has become a course for high school students in Ireland. It has also become an exam subject of Ireland’s Leaving Certificate（证书）Examinations, the Irish version（版本）of Gaokao, since 2022. About 100 students took the exam of Chinese last year.

In 2017, Ireland carried out a ten-year plan. The plan included the goal of increasing the number of students studying foreign languages like Chinese. By 2021, all high school students in the country must study a foreign language. This move could help prepare for the increasing importance of non-English speaking countries.

This is not the first time Chinese has been considered as a language needed to be tested at school. Back in March 2017, Chinese became a graduation exam subject at an Italian high school, Sophie School, and 145 of its 910 students chose to study the language. By now, the Chinese course has been taught at the Italian school for years. Maria Silva Boccardi, director of the school, says Chinese is becoming a global language and they set up the course because many students asked for it.

There were only a few schools that provided Chinese courses and exams in the past. But now, Chinese courses have become an important part of teaching plans in many Western countries. This also encourages many Chinese young people to go to Western schools and colleges to teach Chinese and spread Chinese culture.

24. How long has Ireland carried out its ten-year plan by the year 2023?

A. For six years. B. For eight years.

C. For nine years. D. For ten years.

B. no students learned Chinese in Western countries in the past

There are many reasons to enjoy drinking tea. However, you should let the hot tea cool down a little before you drink it. Why? A new study published in the International Journal of Cancer gives the answer.

“Many people enjoy drinking tea coffee or other hot drinks. However, according to our report, drinking very hot tea can increase the risk of esophageal cancer (食道癌), so you’d better wait until hot drinks cool down before drinking,” the lead writer of the study, Dr. Farhad Islami of the American Cancer Society, said.

The National Cancer Institute reported that about 17, 290 Americans had esophageal cancer in a year, and that only 19 percent of sick people survived. However, five years later, they died.

The scientists found that drinking 700 ml drinks (about three cups) every day or more at a higher temperature (60℃ or hotter) would have a 90 percent higher risk of esophageal cancer, compared with people drinking the same amount at a temperature below 60℃.

24. How many of the 50, 000 people Islami and his team followed had esophageal cancer?

Your Internet experience is ruined when the net speed is too slow—it takes so long toopen a web page and the show you're watching stops every few minutes. That can be very boring. But it could be a thing of the past. China's major telecom carriers（电信运营商）will start to provide 5G services in China.

The“G”in 5G refers to the generations of mobile technologies. 1G let us talk to each other, 2G let us send messages, 3G gave us mobile data（数据）and the Internet, and 4G made all of these things faster.

Now 5G promises much faster speed, and more stable（稳定的）connections. This means that you will be able to download（下载）an entire HD movie in seconds and only experience a short delay（延迟）between sending and receiving data.

According to the Straits Times, 5G will be able to improve many advanced technologies. With a 5G network, the short delay in information exchange will allow driverless cars to run more safely, as they will be able to communicate in real time and avoid probable dangers. Meanwhile, 5G-enabled wearable products will keep doctors in touch with their patients and warn them immediately if there's something wrong. Besides, VR games will become more popular with 5G. The short delay of 5G will make games feel even more real.

But 5G is not perfect. For one thing, 5G will not “travel” far. On 4G networks, you canbe 10 kilometers away from the nearest transmission base（传输基地）. But 5G will only cover about 300 meters, meaning that we will need more transmission bases so that we can get signals. And in order to use 5G, we have to buy new products specifically designed for 5G that are expensive now.

47. The underlined word“ruined”here means“_______”.

A. achieved B. expected C. broken D. improved

48. What can't we do with 5G?

A. Play games quickly and safely. B. Experience more stable network connections.

C. Make VR games more popular. D. Download an HD movie in seconds.

49. What can we conclude（推断）from the passage?

A. Fewer transmission bases will be needed in the near future.

B. New products designed for 5G are cheap now.

C. Many advanced technologies will be improved because of 5G.

D. There will be no delay in information exchange with 5G.

50. How far can you be away from the nearest transmission base if you use a 5G mobile phone?

A. About 3 kilometers B. About 10 kilometers.

C. About 300 kilometers. D. About 300 meters.

The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for old people in China. It started long ago. 51 Activities are held to show love and respect（尊敬）to old people.

Respecting old people is a tradition in China. That's because the Chinese know that older people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn.52When an older person enters a room. everyone stands up. People are introduced from the oldest to the youngest. When we present something to an older person, both hands are used. 53

In western countries, however, older people seldom think they are old.54They'd rather do everything themselves. Even after retirement（退休）, they take up hobbies, part-time jobs and new activities to keep their bodies working well. But of course among westerners, older people are respected, too. Usually, seniors don't have to buy tickets for trains or buses. They are given discount（折扣）in stores and restaurants.

55For holidays, the families usually meet at their grandparents'home, and a great smile and a warm hug for their parents are enough for grown-up children to show their respect.
