• 2．Myles Kerr knew that being a Marine（水兵） comes with a lot of responsibility，but despite the huge weight he has on his shoulders，he has not forgotten the essence of being a public servant - that of being human．
     Seven years ago，a photo of a Marine and a young boy running a marathon immediately went viral after it was shared on social media．But what seemed like a simple image packed a much deeper backstory．This story happened in 2013，but its relevance is still as powerful as ever．
     The pair were running The Jeff Drench Memorial 5 K in Charlevoix，Michigan when Myles Kerr came across Brandon Fuchs，a 9-year-old boy struggling to keep up with the rest of his group．Brandon，exhausted and out of breath，asked the Marine："Will you run with me？"
     People who had their eyes on the prize would have refused，but the 19-year-old was different．Being a Marine，he knew exactly what he should do．Kerr put aside his goal of beating his mates and instead slowed down to accompany the struggling boy to the finish line．
     Because he chose to help the boy，the Marine ended up with the slowest time in his age group，according to the 5 K results online．
     Though he might have lost the race，the Marine won over people's hearts．His act of kindness was celebrated on social media．
     Kerr didn't expect that his simple gesture would attract so much attention．He responded to a tweet praising his actions saying， "I was just doing what any man would do，but thank you! " He also tweeted that he received gifts from the Fuchs family for helping out Brandon．
     To Kerr，being a Marine was more than just being trained for combat - it also required learning how to be kind and compassionate towards the citizens they serve．

  A．A marine．

• 3．Most people feel that dreams are unique to humans，but many dog owners will likely disagree.They have noticed that their dogs at various times during the sleep may shake legs，snort （哼） and sometimes growl （低声吼叫） which gives the impression that they are dreaming.These things may let us wonder whether dogs dream.
     Scientists confirm that dogs probably do dream.It turns out that dog brains and human brains have many similarities during sleep cycles.Researchers used special machines to measure electrical activity in a dog's brain and a human's brain.Scientists already knew that when humans dream，a certain part of the brain is active during sleep.Researchers discovered that the same part of the brain is active in sleeping dogs.Scientists have other data that back up these findings.
     Many people dream that they are trying to move but cannot.Interestingly，part of that experience is not a dream.When people sleep，the brain produces a chemical that causes the dreamer to become temporarily paralyzed （使麻痹）.Researchers think this happens so that people cannot physically act out dreams while they are sleeping.Dog brains make the same chemical.In one study during which this chemical was blocked，sleeping test dogs performed physical activities，such as standing up，sniffing around the room for imaginary rabbits，or chasing imaginary balls.
     Because of these similarities，researchers believe that the content of a dog's dream might come from the same source as a human's dream. "People's dreams are usually based on things they did that day，" says Dr.Samantha Hudspith. "So we have reasons to believe that dogs dream about the things they've done that day.Of course，there will never be a way to prove this.Dogs cannot describe their dreams the way that humans can."
  
  （1）Which statement is TRUE？

  
  A．Only humans dream.
  B．The contents of dogs' dream is the same as those of humans.
  C．The dogs' shaking legs during the sleep means that they must be dreaming.
  D．Whether dogs dream of the things they've done that day can not be confirmed.
  （2）What happened to a sleeping dog when this chemical mentioned in paragraph 3 was cut off？

  
  A．It woke up.
  B．It stopped dreaming.
  C．It acted out its dream.
  D．It couldn't move its body.
  （3）Where is the passage from？

  
  A．The guide.
  B．The report.
  C．The magazine.
  D．The brochure.
  （4）What is the best title for the text？

  
  A．Similarities between Humans and Dogs
  B．Do Dogs Dream？
  C．Signs of Dog Dreams
  D．Why Do Dogs Dream？

• 4．As the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics are just around the corner，the emblem（会徽） and pins have attracted attention from people around the world.
     The inspiration of the emblem design comes from the Chinese character for winter-"冬".A calligraphic rendition of the Chinese character，which infuses Chinese culture with contemporary artistic elements，projects a new image of China in a new era，demonstrating the country's commitment to a successful Winter Games.The upper part of the emblem resembles a skater and its lower part a skier.The ribbon in between，full of rhythm，stands for the host country's rolling mountains，games venues，ski courses and skating tracks.The ribbons give a touch of festivity and are an indication that the Games coincide with the celebrations of the Chinese New Year.
     Unlike some designs for other sport games or festivals in the country，the upcoming Winter Olympics pins combine traditional Chinese culture and modern aesthetics.People think the style of the collection is unique and romantic.Particularly，some limited editions，such as a series of four inspired by ancient Chinese fairy tales，quickly sold out.If collectors get all pins in the series，they can piece them together in the shape of a big "0"，indicating the wait is over and kicking off the Winter Games.Moreover，the series of ancient myth pins include elements of Chinese fairy tales in their design.They vividly show images of Nuwa fixing the sky and Kuafu chasing the sun.Only 2，022 of each fairy tale pin were produced.Other pin patterns include traditional games，such as the ancient Chinese ball game，cuju.Ice play，an old sport in North China，is also displayed on a single pin.
     As the host of the 2022 Games，Beijing has told its own stories to the world through the emblem and colorful pins，designed to welcome athletes and audiences from home and abroad.
  
  （1）What elements does the pattern of the emblem contain？

  
  A．It consists of sports on the ice and the ribbons.
  B．It covers the relevant features of winter.
  C．It includes all competition items.
  D．It is only a dynamic Chinese character.
  （2）What is the shared design concept of the emblem and pins？

  
  A．It describes ancient Chinese fairy tales.
  B．It embodies the art of Chinese calligraphy.
  C．It mixes traditional culture with modern art.
  D．It follows the latest creative trend.
  （3）What does the shape of "0" in Para.3 stand for？

  
  A．The first letter of the Olympics.
  B．The spirits of the Winter Olympics.
  C．The achievement of the Olympics.
  D．The start of the Winter Olympics.
  （4）What message does the author seem to convey in the text？

  
  A．Beijing is set to host both seasonal Olympics.
  B．The designs of the emblem and pins express cultural confidence.
  C．The stories behind the emblem and pins are imaginative.
  D．Winter sports are a must for all people to participate in.

第二节 （共1小题；每小题2.5分， 满分12.5分）

• 5．Help Foreign Guests at Formal Dinner The Spring Festival is coming.The traditional family banquet （宴会） is also coming.You probably have tried many different Chinese dishes.But do you really know how to behave properly at such an important meal（1）

  Don't worry if you are not sure，and here are some tips.
     In the West，everyone has their own plate of food or elder people at the table taste every dish first. （2）

  It is always polite to let guests or elder people at the table taste every dish first.
     Don't put your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl.（3）

  The reason for this is that when people die，family members give them a bowl of rice with a pair of chopsticks sticking out.So if you stick your chopsticks in the rice bowl，it looks like you want someone at the table to die.
     Make sure the spout （壶嘴） of the teapot is not facing anyone as this is impolite.The spout should always be directed to where nobody is sitting，usually just outward from the table.
  （4）

  Beggars （乞丐） are usually seen tapping （轻敲） on their bowls with chopsticks in the street，so tapping on bowls is not polite，especially when you eat in a friend's home.
  Although，teenagers are not supposed to drink any wine，you can still say "Ganbei" and drink to the health of your grandparents and parents. （5）

  
  
  A．It is sure to please them.
  B．Instead，lay them on your dish.
  C．Don't tap on your bowl with your chopsticks.
  D．Helping foreign guests at formal dinner is of great importance.
  E．Could you explain Chinese polite table behaviors to a foreign visitor？
  F．Therefore，Chinese people use chopsticks rather than knives and forks.
  G．However，in China，the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares.
