一、阅读理解
Spring is a great time to take a well-deserved break closer to home.
Whether you're looking for a city break or a beach holiday, we’ve got destinations to suit all tastes. Take advantage of this quieter travel time and book yourself a spring getaway. You won't regret it!
Lanzarote
Lanzarote is a dream in spring. It’s the hottest of the Canary Islands, with average temperatures of 19°C, so you can comfortably hit its beaches. You’ll find several fairs and festivals throughout the island, whether that’s full moon parties, sporting events or the popular religious event of Semana Santa in March/April, when the island comes alive. It’s also the perfect climate to hike Lanzarote’s volcanoes, and witness natural delights.
Portugal
Spring is an ideal time to visit Portugal. You may have the odd drop of rain, but the average temperatures make up for it, between 10°C and 22°C! It’s a proper time to hike or bike the trails along the Via Algarviana, and venture into the many nature parks with cherry tree blossom. If you’re a football lover then you can enjoy the drama of the final leg of the Portuguese League in May, or you could visit the Iberian Mask Festival in Lisbon, where you’ll find a celebration of local music and handicrafts.
Santorini
While there are occasional rainy spells, you’ll often find the sun gloriously shining during the spring months of Santorini. Most of the hotels open by April, and the streets pop with inviting blooms. It’s a romantic, tranquil time to visit. You’ll often find the churches of Santorini alive with activity, as bells ring out to celebrate Easter. For a deeper dive into history, visit the ancient archaeological site of Akrotiri.

    Like many of the arts, music flourished (繁荣) during the Zhou dynasty. From this period we have instruments, models of performers, descriptions of musicians and dancers, and the Shijing, or The Book of Poetry, which contains poems and songs of court and common people during the Zhou dynasty. It is likely that music played an extremely important role in the Zhou dynasty for all social classes.
    One of the most important sources of information the researchers have regarding Zhou-dynasty music is from the tomb of the Marquis Yi of Zeng (433 B.C.E.). This tomb was uncovered in 1977 in Hubei Province and contained the most extensive and well-preserved set of musical instruments ever found in an ancient Chinese tomb. This four-chamber(室) tomb was designed in imitation(模仿) of a palace with a central courtyard, reflecting the belief that the Marquis Yi would require the same comforts in the afterlife that he had enjoyed during his lifetime. The central chamber of the tomb, which mirrored a palace courtyard, contained most of the musical instruments found, including a complete set of sixty-five bells fixed on wooden shelves. In addition, twenty-one young women were buried with the Marquis Yi, some of whom were likely his favorite musicians and dancers.
    The Marquis Yi's set of sixty-five bells is remarkable for a variety of reasons. First, they are clearly dated—an inscription(碑文) indicates that the bells were a gift given to him in 433 BU.. Second, the bells were very expensive to produce and to purchase, particularly a set of this size, so they are further evidence of the Marquis Yi's status. Finally, the bells, along with the other instruments in the room, illustrate what an instrumental band might have consisted of during this period. Scholars predict that it would have required twenty-four musicians to play all instalments at once.
    There are still many gaps in our knowledge of ancient Chinese music, partly because there was no system for recording music in a written form.
4、The Rook of Poetry is mentioned in paragraph 1 to ______.
A. show the significance of the book.
B. describe the meaning of the book.
C. represent the life of people in the Zhou dynasty.
D. show the popularity of music in the Zhou dynasty.
5、According to the passage, what can we know about the tomb?
A. It contains a complete set of musical instruments.
B. It is designed by the Marquis Yi of Zeng.
C. It is of the same size as that of the palace.
D. It reflects the wish of the Marquis Yi for his life after death.
6、Why is the set of sixty-five bells extraordinary?
A. Because it once was an expensive gift.
B. Because it was difficult to buy at that time.
C. Because it might prove the Marquis Yi's position.
D. Because it needed twenty-four performers to play at the same time.
7、What can be the best title for the text?
A.A look into the Zhou-dynasty Music. B. An Invaluable Tomb.
C. Ancient Musical Instruments. D. The Importance of Ancient Music.
Archan Chan recalls her first experience working in a Chinese restaurant more than 14 years ago. Employed as an apprentice(学徒) chef, she was one of just two women in the kitchen—the other's sole job was to beat eggs. "She was unbelievably fast at beating eggs. I guess for a woman to survive in a traditional Chinese kitchen back then, you had to be the best in something," she says.
Today, Chan leads the kitchen of Ho Lee Fook, one of Hong Kong's most popular restaurants. After spending more than a decade working in fine dining restaurants in Australia and Singapore, she is one of a few female chefs who have risen to the top of a high-end Chinese restaurant. That's an impressive feat, given how incredibly challenging it has been for women to soar in high-profile Chinese kitchens.
Female chefs have long been a minority in professional kitchens around the world. But the situation is even bleaker in Chinese kitchens. There's no denying the work is physically demanding—an empty pot weighs about 2.2 kilograms—but there are other factors at play.
In the past, masters of many Chinese kitchens would recruit apprentices and pass their skills to them. Few chefs would risk recruiting a female trainee into that harsh environment.
Given all of these barriers, not many women would even consider this male-dominated industry as an attractive career path. Thankfully, there are signs of a shift in mindset—the number of female Chinese head chefs has been rising in recent years.
"Even if it's a male-dominant kitchen, all everyone cares about is food—the cooking. They don't care if you're a male or female. Gender shouldn't matter," Chan says.
"Yes, there is a physical barrier but I think the mental barrier may be more obstructive(阻碍的) to the increase of women in Chinese kitchens," Chan adds. "It isn't just about how much you want it but how much hard work you're willing to put into it. There are days when you feel like your arms are falling apart and you can't move them anymore, but the next day, you're stronger and may be able to work a heavier work.
8、What can we learn about Archan Chan?
A. She got a rapid promotion.
B. She does best in beating eggs.
C. She is the best female chef in China.
D. She made a great achievement in her career.
9、What’s a cause of very few female chefs in professional kitchens?
A. Kitchen is a harsh place for women.
B. Women are afraid of physical work.
C. Customers care about the gender of the chef.
D. Women face both mental and physical barriers.
10、Which of the following can best describe Archan Chan?
A. Strong-willed. B. Open-minded. C. Cool-headed. D. Kind-hearted.
11、What would be the best title for the text?
A. Female chefs have risen to the top.
B. Female chefs have long been a minority.
C. Female chefs are proving doubters wrong.
D. Female chefs are replacing male chefs gradually.
In almost all electronic devices, there will be chips supporting their functions. Chips, also known as integrated circuits (IC), are the hearts and brains of electronic products.
In April, Tsinghua University officially inaugurated its School for Integrated Circuits(电路), aiming to cultivate talents for the country’s IC industry and make indigenous Chinese chips.
The new school will be the first in China to offer a specialized major in the subject. It will focus on developing top-level research talent. According to ChiBaoyong, a professor at the new school, the school will pursue breakthroughs in areas such as electronic design automation and semiconductor equipment. The school will invite experts from the business community to give lectures.
Integrated circuits are key to the development of the information technology industry. However, due to the comparatively low technical level in IC development, for a long time, China has had to rely on other countries that are more advanced in these areas. This has made the sector a target for bullying(欺负,欺凌) for the West. For example, the US banned the use of chips made with American technology in Huawei products. Although China’s IC industry has been on track for high-speed growth in recent years, skillful personnel are badly needed. According to a white paper on China’s IC industry talents released in September 2020, only 511,900 people were working in the sector while in 2022, at least 720,000 such staff will be needed.
So the move of building Tsinghua’s new school comes at a good time, noted Caixin Global. A director with the China Semiconductor Industry Association surnamed Ren told the Global Times that more schools like Tsinghua University’s new school are likely to be established as China goes full speed ahead in its industrial upgrade. “The situation is promising,” he said.
In order to provide strong talent support to the country’s IC industry, integrated circuit science and engineering was upgraded to a first-class discipline in January 2021. And in the 14th Five-Year Plan, China lists semiconductors, used for IC, as one of the seven key technologies it will focus on.
Zhang Yong, a hardware engineer from an IC company in Beijing, also said now might be a golden age for the IC industry in China and the young generation will get more opportunities to play to their talents.
“For students, IC can be an interesting area to explore in the future,” Zhang said. He explained that making a chip is like building a house. “Starting from zero, engineers can complete a work totally by their own design. Since IC is still an emerging area, the work can be challenging and innovative, giving the designers a full sense of accomplishment.”
12、What’s the purpose of School for IC?
A. It provides experts to give lectures.
B. It aims to make chips for foreign countries.
C. It will pursue breakthrough only in electronic design.
D. It aims to raise talents for the country’s IC industry.
13、What does “This” refer to in paragraph 4?
A. More advanced technical level.
B. Comparatively technical low level.
C. The ban of the USA in the IC industry.
D. Electronic automation and semiconductor equipment.
14、Which statement may Zhang Yong agree with?
A. IC industry is experiencing an golden age.
B. IC can be an exciting era to explore to everybody.
C. China encourages young generation to pay more attention to IC.
D. As a grown-up era, the work related to IC is challenging and innovative.
15、Which word can best describe the future of IC?
A. Difficult B. Gloomy C. Unknown D. Promising

My daughter loved dancing until she didn’t love it. After an 1 first year, I noticed her interest fading week by week. Then, one day, she slowly walked to me before class and asked if she could just 2 it.

37、答案：①are included②linking③between④have preserved/have been preserving⑤that/which⑥being treated⑦an⑧as/because/since/for⑨addition⑩harmonious
解析：①考查谓语动词。根据句意可知用被动语态,且主语为复数。
②考查非谓语动词。主语是trail“小路”,所以是“路连接了两个地区”。因此要用现在分词表主动。
③考查介词。因为要表达“两地之间交换商品”,所以用between。
④考查谓语动词。根据Over the years可知用现在完成时。又由于上下文没有限制是否一直持续进行,因此也可以用现在完成进行时。
⑤考查定语从句。此处需要用定语从句来限定修饰先行词 the winds of change。
⑥考查非谓语动词。根据and的并列关系以及上下文可知此处要用being treated。
⑦考查冠词。由于这里的engine是首次提到,因此用不定冠词泛指“一个”。
⑧考查引导词。根据句意,这里需要引导一个原因状语从句。
⑨考查词性转换。in addition意为“另外”。
⑩考查词性转换。此处修饰名词relationship,故要用harmony的形容词形式。

My Treasures
    In our life, we have treasures like money, houses and cars, etc. However, we have a lot more hidden treasures, such as knowledge, health and experiences. As a senior student, I think the most important treasures in our life are friendship and ideals.
    Friendship means a lot to me. I always share sorrows and joys with my friends. Often, we offer help to each other. Without friends, we would feel lonely and our life would be colorless. Besides friendship, ideals also play an important role in our life. Ideals act as lights in darkness, guiding us forward. Inspired by ideals, we’ll keep moving on. I think a person without ideals is one without hope.
    However, how can we win true friendship? In my opinion, we should first learn to communicate. Also, it’s important to be generous and kind to others. Learn to give rather than take. As to ideals, ask ourselves what our strengths and weaknesses are and where our interests lie so as to make it clear what we want to be when we grow up. In this way, we can set up ideals, which we will live up to.
