• 2．    "How beautiful the jasmine （茉莉花） is!A sweet smell covers the budding twigs.So fragrant （芳香的），so white，admired by all lips." The Chinese folk song Jasmine Flower has reached a global audience with its beautiful melody and lyrics.Equally popular is the traditionally made Jasmine tea，which is tea scented （发出香味） with the smell of jasmine and typically has green tea as its base.
     Chen Chengzhong has a big say in the production of Jasmine tea as he is a state-level expert of Fuzhou Jasmine tea scenting techniques.The 72-year-old tea maker，from Fuzhou City in East China's Fujian province，started his career early in his teenage years as a trainee in a state-owned tea factory.
     Chen can't stop talking joyfully when it comes to jasmine tea scenting.The hot and wet climate and the red soil in East China's Fujian province provide great conditions.He can't forget summer nights，as jasmine usually comes out at night and it calls for hard work.When the fresh jasmine flowers are harvested，they are mixed with tea jye.ai.Leaves and flowers are being mixed overnight so the leaves can fully take in flowers' fragrance.In the morning，the flowers are sorted，the leaves are dried，and the process is repeated.More repetition makes the fragrance stronger，and it takes at least nine times to produce jasmine tea of a superb grade.
  Chen now focuses more on passing on the scenting techniques，giving lectures to students and trainees.Chen's son Chen Zheng is meant to follow in his father's footsteps and move forward with the techniques. "Like my father，I also hope to practice this traditional skill and pass it on，" Chen Zheng said.
     China's traditional tea making method was added to the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage list on Tuesday.
  
  （1）Why is the folk song mentioned in the first paragraph？

  
  A．To provide examples.
  B．To introduce the topic.
  C．To make comparisons.
  D．To support the argument.
  （2）What makes Chen an influential tea maker？

  
  A．He has a say in growing jasmine.
  B．He starts his career half a century ago.
  C．He owns a state-level tea factory now.
  D．He knows tea scenting techniques well.
  （3）Which word can replace the underlined word "sorted" in the third paragraph？

  
  A．Separated.
  B．Dried.
  C．Raised.
  D．Harvested.
  （4）Which of the following best describes Chen？

  
  A．Selfless and brave.
  B．Creative and helpful.
  C．Ambitious and frank.
  D．Devoted and professional.

• 3．The creativity TikTok stimulates allows for a broad range of content that encourages users to participate in trends that integrate their passions and hobbies.Specifically，content related to literature on TikTok has generated its own domain.Commonly referred to as "BookTok，" this side of the platform focuses on all things about books：book recommendations，tips for pleasing bookshelves and edits related to literature-based fandoms （粉丝圈）.
     With heightened demand for new media to comfort themselves during the pandemic period of severe challenges，many young adults have regarded literature as a form of escape.Restarting former literary passions，BookTok users have turned their attention to the app to praise the novels that have helped serve as a brief getaway to worlds within bound pages.
     Through a revival of novels that shaped the childhoods of many who are now young adults，even younger generations on the app have been exposed to foundational novels in young adult literature.Along with this emphasis on nostalgic（怀旧的）fandoms，BookTok takes advantage of TikTok trends in order to attract those who may not be familiar with literature to read.The popularity of BookTok and the novels that are recommended to young adults on the app have had a direct effect on bookstores and book sales，with both independent bookstores and chains such as Barnes & Noble taking notice of the broader range of readers that are influenced by TikTok and updating their stock to appeal to users.
     As of March 2021，BookTok has over 6 billion views and will only continue to grow larger.Though the popularity of BookTok brought many significant questions regarding the future of the book industry and the books that receive mass attention on social media，the importance of the BookTok phenomenon perhaps lies mainly with the readers who claim their love for books and the creative channels through which they express this admiration.TikTok has demonstrated，at least through BookTok，that brilliant literature is written for a broad audience — the perfect book for you is waiting somewhere on a shelf and，through BookTok，you will surely discover it.
  
  （1）What can users do on BookTok？

  
  A．Share favorable books.
  B．Buy pretty bookshelves.
  C．Make profits from editing.
  D．Create their own platforms.
  （2）What influence does BookTok have？

  
  A．TikTok has lost quantities of users.
  B．The elderly take up children's books.
  C．The bookstores change their books accordingly.
  D．Youths start treasuring their memories of childhood.
  （3）What does the last paragraph mainly tell us about BookTok？

  
  A．Its bright future.
  B．Its big challenges.
  C．Its amazing function.
  D．Its minor disadvantages.
  （4）What is the best title for the text？

  
  A．Why BookTok had an effect on bookstores
  B．How BookTok expanded its range of audience
  C．Why BookTok gained popularity among elderly
  D．How BookTok repopularized young adult fiction

第二节阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

• 9．Andy and Eric were two friends who often played together.One day，on their way back home from school，they rode slowly，talking about the fishing trip that they had planned for the coming summer vacation.While turning a corner，Andy cried out， "A fight near the lake!Let's go to watch!"
      "No，" said Eric. "Let's go home and not get involved in their quarrel.Stay away from it，or we may get into trouble.What's more，our parents are waiting for us at home and I don't want them to worry about me."
      "You are a coward （胆小鬼）." Andy laughed at him.Eric was a little annoyed，but he didn't say anything，just riding home directly.The next day，he went to school as usual.
      However，Andy had told all the class that Eric was too timid to do anything brave.So the whole class laughed at him a lot.And from then on，they looked down on Eric，unwilling to play with him.Eric was very sad but he didn't blame Andy for his being rude to him，because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved，and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong.Therefore，he ignored their teasing，studying even harder.What was different was that he had to go home alone.
      Several days later，Andy together with his new friends was riding home.They were so absorbed in their conversation that they were unaware of everything else around them.
      Suddenly，Andy noticed an unusual buzz of noise.He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens.What he saw shocked and terrified him.A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the noisy mass seemed to be heading angrily towards them.
      "Bees!" someone shouted.The boys were caught in great panic.All of them except Andy rode as fast as possible to escape.Andy was too scared to move.
  注意：
  1.续写词数应为150左右；
  2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
  Andy stopped there，with the buzz louder and louder.
  ______
  Dragging themselves out of the lake，they struggled up to the shore.
