The 2023 Tibetan New Year falls on Feb 21, almost a month after the Spring Festival. The celebration usually starts on the first day of the first month of the Tibetan calendar and ends after 15 days. Just like the Spring Festival, the Tibetan New Year marks the perfect opportunity for Tibetans to reunite with their relatives and friends.
With a sweet smell coining from the pot, Tsewang, 74, stirred the soup ladle from time to time at her Singpori home. She was cooking “gutu”, a kind of soup made of flour and a traditional dish for the night of the 29th of the 12th month in the Tibetan calendar.
“Gu” in Tibetan means nine, which is a lucky number. means ^pasta/’ Nine different filling, like wool, charcoal and chili are placed inside the dough drops，and each of these fillings has a meaning.
“It is the Tibetan New Year’s Eve tomorrow. The family and relatives will be gathered together and welcoming a warm New Year at the new home,” Tsewang said on Sunday.
For 46-year-old Li Xijun, from northwest China’s Gansu Province, celebrating Tibetan New Year with his wife Drolma Tsering has become a part of his life after living in Tibet for 26 years.
“We celebrate both Spring Festival and Tibetan New Year at home, he said. Li started his commercial trade business in Tibet after retiring from the army in 1997. He met his wife in 2000, and has since settled in the border county of Yadong to take care of Drolma Tsering’s parents and younger sister.
It is the third Tibetan New Year for Yuan Yubing from Shanghai. Yuan came to Tibet to learn Thangka painting in 2017 and married Losang Samkhar, her studio teacher, the following year.
“I was more of a spectator when I first celebrated the festival, Yuan said. But after years of living here, Yuan has already known all kinds of customs of the Tibetan New Year.
Yuan and her mother-in-law have cleaned up the windows at home, and all the New Yearns goods are ready. She has even replaced her mother-in-law to cook for the family for New Year’s Eve. “Coming to Tibet makes me feel that my heart has found a home,” she said.

Low pay, uncertain jobs and debt mean young people are being hard hit by the UK’s financial crisis. In January this year a major survey showed that 47% of under-24s were viewed as “financially uncertain” 一 unable or only just able to make ends meet.
The survey was carried out last year before the reality of 2022’s cost-of-living crisis had started to unfold. We wanted to find out what young people’s money worries are and how to deal with them. A recent survey found 3 in 10 young people worry about not having enough money over a typical month. Only 51% of 16- and 17-year-olds in the UK feel confident about dealing with money.
And an increasing number of young people are turning to the Internet for tips. “There was a lack of support in my community and secondary school”, says Zoya. Unluckily, Zoya isn’t alone and millions of young people are struggling to access the information they need, both within the structures of school and at home with family.
Although some factors in the cost-of-living crisis are out of our hands, there are steps everyone can take. Here are our top tips. Set a budget (预算).Once you have a clear idea of the money that you use, you know how much money you have left to set apart and spend in other areas of your life. Check your basket. Thinking ahead about your meals and writing down a shopping list can give you a better chance of sticking to your budget. Get a budgeting partner. Set aside 10 minutes each week to check in with a friend or a family member, track your spending and share your money saving methods. Learn good habits. Some financial respected experts can bring free courses to help people build financial security to help young people.
8、What can be inferred from paragraph 1?
A.All British young people can’t find well-paid job.
B.Many British young people get stuck in economic difficulties.
C.Nearly half of under-24s in the UK can’t find jobs.
D.47% of British people are able to make ends meet.
9、What’s the purpose of the survey?
A.To seek ways to help the young with financial problems based on their findings.
B.To get more information about young people who are stuck in financial problems.
C.To find out the reasons that make young people worried about their money.
D.To show the financial problems that cause young people to get stuck.
10、Where do more and more young people usually seek for help?
A. From the community. B. From the school.
C. From the Internet. D. From the family.
11、Who probably would be the target reader?
A. British young people. B. People under-24s.
C. Millions of young people. D. People in financial difficulties.
Sending a thumbs-up can be seen as passive aggressive (冒犯的)，according to Gen Z (those born between 1995 and 2009) who say they feel attacked whenever it is used. Whether the chat is informal, between friends or at work the symbol appears to have a very different, ‘rude’ meaning for the younger generation.
A 24-year-old on Reddit summed up the Gen Z argument, saying it is best ‘never used in any situation’ as it is “hurtful”. “No one of my age in the office does it, but the Gen X (those born between 1966 and 1980) people always do it. Take me a bit to adjust and get it out of my head that it means they’re mad at me,” he added. Other young people agreed it is bad form, especially at work where it can make the team appear unfriendly and not easygoing.
“My last workplace had a WhatsApp chat for our team to send information to each other on, and most of the people on there just replied with a thumbs up. I don’t know why but it seemed a little bit hostile to me,” one woman said. One Reddit user also said the thumbs up actually means that “I’ve read your message and have nothing to add and I hope and pray ... all the people in this group chat have nothing to say on it too.”
Older workers appear confused by the reaction, saying they use the thumbs up in work-related chats to show “I agree” or “I understood and will follow.”
Part of the issue is that young people tend to use the thumbs-up in jokes. Barry Kennedy, 24, he said he only used it to communicate with older people like his parents or older colleagues. A survey of 2,000 people conducted by Perspectus Global showed that a majority of people between the ages of 16 and 29 believe that you are “officially old” if you use thumbs-up or heart emoji.
12、Which of the following point is not the Gen Z’s understanding of the emoji thumbs-up?
A. Being rude. B. Being agreeable. C. Being hurtful. D. Being unfriendly,
13、What does the underlined word “hostile” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Unfriendly and aggressive. B. Tough and difficult
C. Unwanted and unacceptable. D. Strange and unusual.
14、Why can’t older workers understand the young’s reaction to the thumbs-up emoji?
A.Because of their poor communication skill.
B.Because of their being old with worse memory.
C.Because of their less communicating with the young.
D.Because of their different understanding of the emoji.
15、Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A.The Thumbs-up Emoji; Rejected by the younger generation
B.The Thumbs-up Emoji: Highly Welcomed by Old People
C.The Thumbs-up Emoji: A Sign of Generation Gap
D.The Thumbs-up Emoji: A Sign of Being Aggressive

32、答案：①on②setting③that/which④traveled/travelled⑤and⑥fastest⑦its⑧establishing⑨materials⑩experimental
解析：①考查介词。句意：据中国载人航天局称，11月12日发射的天舟五号货运飞船于中午左右与天宫空间站对接，创造了两个航天器最快交会对接的世界纪录。表示具体某一天用介词on。故填on。
②考查现在分词。句意：据中国载人航天局称，11月12日发射的天舟五号货运飞船于中午左右与天宫空间站对接，创造了两个航天器最快交会对接的世界纪录。这句话的谓语是docked，此空是现在分词短语作状语，The Tianzhou 5 cargo spacecraft 和set是主动关系，用现在分词。故填setting。
③考查定语从句。句意：天舟五号由长征七号火箭送入近地轨道，该火箭于上午10时03分在海南省文昌航天发射中心起飞。根据句意和结构可知此空引导定语从句，先行词是a Long March 7 rocket,指物，定语从句缺少主语，用that或which引导定语从句。故填that/which。
④考查一般过去时。句意：该机构表示，货运飞船进入轨道后，飞行了2小时7分钟与天宫空间站会合，然后于下午12点10分与大型空间站对接。这是这句话的谓语，和entered一致用一般过去时。故填traveled/travelled。
⑤考查连词。句意：该机构表示，货运飞船进入轨道后，飞行了2小时7分钟与天宫空间站会合，然后于下午12点10分与大型空间站对接。entered, traveled/travelled和docked是并列关系，用and连接。故填and。
⑥考查形容词最高级。句意：该操作已成为世界上航天器最快的交会对接过程，取代了俄罗斯航天器联盟MS-17在2020年10月14日创下的旧纪录，当时它在升空后用了3小时3分钟与国际空间站交会对接。定冠词the和形容词最高级搭配。故填fastest。
⑦考查代词。句意：该操作已成为世界上航天器最快的交会对接过程，取代了俄罗斯航天器联盟MS-17在2020年10月14日创下的旧纪录，当时它在升空后用了3小时3分钟与国际空间站交会对接。修饰lift用形容词性物主代词its。故填its。
⑧考查动名词。句意：载人航天局表示，快速交会对接是建立紧急情况下向空间站运送物资能力的关键。key to doing sth意为“做某事的关键”，to是介词，后面接动名词。故填establishing。
⑨考查名词复数。句意：这艘货船载有约5.3公吨的物资，包括生活和任务必需品、科学设备以及一颗小型实验卫星。material是可数名词，和5.3metric tons of搭配，用复数。故填materials。
⑩考查形容词。句意：这艘货船载有约5.3公吨的物资，包括生活和任务必需品、科学设备以及一颗小型实验卫星。修饰名词satellite用experiment的形容词experimental“实验的”。故填experimental。

34、答案：
I fought back tears as I walked up to Mrs. Bartlett. She looked at me and knew what I was there for. I was determined to convince her I should be in the “good” group. “Why...?” I started. She gently placed a hand on my shoulder. “I know what you want, Karina,” she said, “but your group needs you. I need you to help them get a passing grade on this assignment. Only you can help them.” I was amazed. She had seen something in me I hadn’t seen. “Will you help them?” she asked. I stood straighter. “Yes,” I replied. I couldn’t believe it came out of my mouth, but it did.
As I bravely walked to where the others in my group sat, I could hear the laughter from my friends. I sat down and we started research. Halfway through the week, I felt myself enjoying the company of these three misfits. I was given a chance to see other people in a new light. I was given the opportunity to see in myself a potential that inspired my actions in later years. After that semester ended, I always received a friendly hello from my group. Also, I was always genuinely happy to see them. Mrs. Bartlett gave us an A on that assignment. We should have handed it right back, for she was the one who truly deserved it.
