During the Spring and Autumn period of the ancient China, there was a musician named Yu Boya. He was skilled in playing the guqin. However, he always felt that he didn’t have the highest level, so he decided to take a boat trip to Penglai Island in the East China Sea. There, Yu Boya saw the surging waves (汹涌的波涛) hitting the rocks, and the seabirds flying up and down and singing happily and loudly. At that moment, a creative idea went through his mind. He managed to use the guqin to bring the beauty of nature and the touching sounds of the music together. Unluckily, no one could understand and appreciate (欣赏) what the music was about. He felt very lonely with a great pity as a result.

One day, Yu Boya saw an old woodcutter listening to his music carefully on the seaside and then asked him to get in his boat. He played the music about the high mountain. The woodcutter described a picture of Mountain Tai in his mind. When Yu Boya played another piece of music to show the surging waves, the woodcutter seemed to watch a wild and broad sea without boundaries. Yu Boya screamed excitedly, “My dear friend, Zhong Ziqi, you are the only confidant (知己) that understands me and my works!”A few years later, Zhong Ziqi passed away. Yu Boya cut off all the strings (琴弦) and stopped playing the guqin after he heard the news.

There are too few close friends as Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi did in the world. Yu Rang, a famous writer in the Warring States period, once said, “A true man is ready to die for those who know the value of him.” Su Shi, another famous writer in the Song dynasty, found no one could understand him in his difficult times, describing himself as a lonely wild bird on a wasted sand island. It means he preferred to live alone if he couldn’t find any confidant. Being a confidant has nothing to do with age, distance as well as wealth. He is the one who is always willing to share your joy and sadness. In some ways, a confidant can understand your every act and read your hidden meanings. Whether old or young, a confidant is hard to find. Everyone will never feel sorry for himself if he has a confidant in his life!

36．Yu Boya went on his trip to Penglai Island mainly to ______.

A．find his close friend  B．improve musical skills

C．watch seabirds flying  D．enjoy the natural beauty

37．Why did Yu Boya feel lonely in Paragraph 1? （    ）

A．Because he failed to meet the person who understood him and his works.

B．Because he heard the death of Zhong Ziqi and stopped playing the guqin.

C．Because he was unable to find a confidant who played the guqin together.

D．Because he had difficulty using the guqin to show his feelings to the world.

38．What’s the correct order of the following events about Yu Boya? （    ）

a．He met Zhong Ziqi on the seaside.

b．He didn’t play the guqin any more.

c．He went on a trip to Penglai Island.

d．He felt very sad about the loss of Zhong Ziqi.

e．He found no one able to understand his music

A．a-b-c-d-e B．a-c-d-e-b C．c-a-e-b-d D．c-e-a-d-b

39．In the passage, the writer shows his opinions by ______.

A．showing time  B．making up. some stories

C．giving examples  D．showing causes and results

40．According to the passage, the writer supports that ______.

注意：每个空格只填1个单词。

In the middle of Shandong Province, you will find the city Zibo. With about 4.7 million people, the city has especially caught online attention since March, 2023 and become one of the most popular attractions in Shandong. How did Zibo make it? The followings may explain this.

Zibo Barbecue (BBQ)

Its attractive barbecue culture is the first and main reason why Zibo is so hot now. The city has been known because of its plenty of barbecue restaurants for years. The local government tries its best to create a wonderful open-air BBQ environment. When the meat and vegetables are served, people have fun grilling (烧烤) them with their own hands and then wrapping them in thin and round pancakes, usually with spring onions to add a special taste. Zibo has also offered special tourist trains and designed BBQ bus lines to let more tourists arrive directly.

A kind city in difficult times

Some Internet users recommended Zibo for another reason. It played a special role when China fought against COVID-19. Zibo first became known after a group of students from Jinan went there in March. They had to be quarantined (隔离) because of COVID-19 and they were taken good care of during their stay. The students also celebrated their last night in Zibo with a major BBQ dinner. It is said that these students wanted to go back to Zibo and spend time there as a way to thank the city—not knowing they would help make the city famous.

Power of Douyin

Douyin is also at the heart of Zibo’s recent success. Zibo first became a hot topic on Douyin in early March, when the videos of the first group of students returning to Zibo to eat barbecue became popular. In April, Zibo hit the hot lists on Douyin again. One vlogger (视频博主) tried ten different food shops in the city and found that they all gave him the right kilos. These food shops even gave him some extra food for free, proving the idea that Zibo is a friendly city.

All in all, it’s clear that Zibo has done something right. It has shown what is the key to success: stay kind, be honest, and most of all, keep the barbecue hot.

B）根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为66—75的相应位置上。

Last year, fashion designer Jiang Xi made online videos of her pracțisıng Baduanjin, one of traditional Chinese regimens (养生之道). During a period of four w    66   , over 10,000 people clicked on the videos. Most of them are aged between 20 and 30. “When practising Baduanjin, you can keep yourself from the stress and w 6 of living in big cities,” said Jiang Xi. Under her influence, Jiang Xi’s elder brother Jiang Nan also became a lover of Baduanjin. T 00 they live in different cities, the two have found a new family connection in Baduanjin.

Every weekend, a group of young people practise Baduanjin n    69    to the lake in Xiaogang Park of Guangzhou. Feng Junhua, the organizer, gathers young people interested in Baduanjin, and finds a comfortable place in the park to bring p    70    to their mind and body. “Practising Baduanjin prevents people from the stress of socializing,” said Feng. “You will also find it e    71    to learn because you can practise it anytime and anywhere without any instrument.”

Traditional regimens have not only been popular among young people in China, but also become famous a    72   . Liu Jianan and his friends organize lessons of Chinese regimens and have attracted many foreign students. At Expo 2020 Dubai, Liu and his friends were i    73    to perform (表演) Baduanjin. “During the performance, people felt the great Chinese culture and advantages to their bodies,” said Liu.

Traditional Chinese culture r    74    the inheritance (继承) of the young. Young people are looking for their inner (内在的) “order” in a changing world. Traditional Chinese regimens have brought a specific and natural way of life which helps    75    a balance between their inner world and the outside world. This is where young people and traditional Chinese culture mix.

One possible version:

I’d like to talk about my ideas on Lei Feng spirit. Lei Feng was a soldier who devoted himself to helping others all his life. From my point of view, Lei Feng spirit means that we are ready to give a helping hand to others at any time.

Last month, I went to an old people’s home with my classmates. We spent hours there chatting with the elderly and making dumplings together. I even taught Grandma Li how to do some online shopping, which made her quite happy. The smiling faces of the old that day made the experience so unforgettable.

Although Lei Fai passed away years ago, his spirit never dies. It’s still necessary and important for us to carry forward Lei Feng spirit today. The rose’s in her hand, the flavor in mine. Let’s learn from Lei Feng and make the world more fragrant.
