FIFA World Cup 2022™ Official Emblem(会徽)

The FIFA World Cup 2022™ emblem uses the burgundy (深红色) and white colors that are similar to Qatar’s national flag.

The swooping curves (曲线) of the emblem represent desert dunes, and the unbroken loop expresses both the number eight – representing the tournament’s host stadiums (Al Bayt Stadium, Lusail Stadium, Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium, Al Janoub Stadium, Al Thumama Stadium, Education City Stadium, Khalifa International Stadium, Stadium 974)– and the infinity symbol, reflecting the event’s interconnected nature, fusing tradition with modernity.

Do you know “Grain in Ear”? In Chinese, it is called Mangzhong, the ninth solar term of the twenty-four solar terms, between the Grain Full (小满) and the Summer Solstice (夏至). It usually happens around June 5th and ends around June 21st.

Mangzhong is a pun (双关语) on the phrase “busy planting” in Chinese. It describes what a farmer’s life is like during this period. Farmers need to plant various crops, such as beans and sweet potatoes. They also need to harvest wheat and vegetables in time.

During this time, the Middle-Lower Yangtze River enters the rainy season. In southern China, this period is called plum rain season. Plum rains often happen during June and July. Plums become ripe during this time, so this long summer period of rainy or cloudy weather is called the plum rain season. Plum rains might be unpleasant, but plum wine has been popular among the Chinese for thousands of years. Plums are good for people’s health. However, fresh plums taste sour. Therefore, Chinese people usually make wines with them instead of eating them directly. They also use plums to make a sour plum drink and preserved plums (话梅).

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Why not make some plum drinks to help yourself enjoy the summer?

19．Why is the period called plum rain season?

A．Plums become ripe during this time.

B．It often rains during this time.

C．The Middle-Lower Yangtze River enters the rainy season.

A．Grain in Ear is the ninth solar term of a year.

B．Chinese people usually eat the fresh plums directly.

C．Farmers need to plant beans, sweet potatoes and wheat during Mangzhong.

National medals and honorary titles (荣誉称号) are usually awarded every five years. As a part of the celebration of the 70th anniversary (周年) of the founding of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), 42 people are awarded the Medal of the Republic, the Friendship Medal and national honorary titles. They come from different backgrounds, including scientists, lawmakers, educators, artists, model workers and six non-Chinese people. All have made big contributions to the nation’s construction and development. Here are some of the people well know.

Chinese scientist Tu Youyou is one of the eight who were awarded the Medal of the Republic.

She has saved millions of lives worldwide. She has also made important scientific innovations (创新) in traditional Chinese medicine.

Nan Rendong, before his death in 2017, led the research and development of China’s Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST, 500 米口径球面斑电望远镜), the world’s largest radio telescope. He worked on the project for more than 20 years. His contributions to Chinese astronomy earned him the title, “the people’s scientist”.

Space X made history two months ago by launching the world’s most powerful rocket to Mars.

Falcon Heavy, the 230ft rocket, successfully launched from Cape Canaveral—the same station where NASA sent man to the moon almost 50 years ago.

There were no humans on the Falcon Heavy—but it’s not without a passenger. Founder of SpaceX Elon Musk, sent one of his Tesla Car along for the ride with a human shape model called “Starman” sitting on the driver’s seat.

For now, the world is very excited by the successful launch of the rocket. Elon Musk suggested the space trip could just become the greatest firework show ever seen. If it went wrong, the rocket actually managed to lift off.

Why is there all this excitement?

Watching live streams of an electric car floating in space, while the extra engines that carried it there softly land themselves back on Earth. It’s hard not to feel that we’re living in the future.

Where is all this leading?

Falcon Heavy is a great piece of work, by the researchers at SpaceX. It’s not the most powerful rocket ever made, and NASA’s Space Launch System will beat it when it finally launches. But it runs very cheaply, for a rocket; the fact that it can be re-used, at relatively little expense, could launch an exciting future of much more regular space launches.

The set of Mr. Musk’s own car in the rocket is a sign of the real reason. This launch is such a big deal: it is being done by a man with talent, and the strong wish to make people talk about him and what he’s doing. There’s no reason for the car to be going to space except for a talking point-indeed, the rocket could carry some important scientific instruments instead—but when viewed as a show for a private space company which hopes to be the future of personal space travel, everything becomes more reasonable. The idea behind that plan is that it makes such space trip much cheaper, since private companies can develop and build the rockets. The companies can then increase the money they may earn with other private satellite launches and other work, cutting down the cost of space travel.

27．What is people’s opinion about this space trip to Mars?

A．They are excited about it. B．Few of them know about the space trip.

C．They don’t like the idea of the space trip. D．They are worried about the high price of the space trip.

28．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 8 refer to?

A．NASA． B．Falcon Heavy. C．SpaceX company. D．Mr. Musk’s own car.

29．According to the passage, Elon Musk sent a car to the space in order to ________.

A．test his new car B．help carry important scientific tools

C．raise the price of the private space trip D．let more people know about him and his work

30．The passage can be best described as a(n) ________.

A．science research B．news report C．adventure story D．book review

三、根据首字母填空

31．Zibo, a city in Shandong Province, r________ lots of tourists on May Day holiday this year.

32．Finally, the young couple decided to lay the piano a________ the wall.

33．It’s not allowed to take c________ to take photos in the museum.

34．New figures show that many young Chinese students who study a________ have chosen to return to China for work.

35．September is the n________ month of a year.

四、根据汉语提示填空

36．A best seller named The Three-Body Problem is ________ (写) by Liu Cixin.

37．________ (幸运地), the old man didn’t got hurt in the terrible accident.

38．When I got home, I realized that I had taken his umbrella by ________ (错误).

七、语法填空

Cafu, a former Brazil football player, is predicting BraziI will win the FIFA World Cup for a     41     (six) time at Qatar 2022.The two-time winner is backing(下赌注于) the South American giants to beat France in the final at Lusail Stadium on December 18th.

“Teams like Brazil, England, Argentina and France are the top seeds on merit(品质), Germany, Belgium and Portugal are also very competitive. They all have the potential (潜在的) to reach the final and win the World Cup, “said Cafu, who once was the national team captain.

Cafu is also expecting host nation Qatar to make     42     all the way to the quarter-finals. “Qatar     43     (improve) a lot recently,” said Cafu. “They have experienced players and goodx     44     (coach). They showed how good they are by     45     (win) the Asian Cup in 2019. They will face experienced teams in Group A, but I hope they can go far in the tournament(比赛).”

Cafu expects an all-South American competition in the semi-finals     46     Brazil and Argentina, and is also backing France to beat Portugal in the last four. “Argentina versus Brazil is not an easy match     47     they are two great powers of world football, who individually (分别地) have the     48     (good) players in the world. France versus Portugal will also be a very difficult match, but I expect France     49     (make) the final. They have important players like Karim Benzema and Kylian Mbappé.”

Cafu is then expecting a repeat of the 1998 FIFA World Cup but with     50     different result. 24 years ago, France tasted victory on home soil with a 3-0 success over Brazil in Paris.

阅读短文，回答问题。

How would you feel if you received a large amount of money all at once?

That’s exactly what happened to Nkosikho Mbele, a worker at a gas station in South Africa. His sudden luck was brought about by an act of kindness he did for a young woman—Monet, a company manager.

One day, Monet stopped at the gas station to refuel (加油). But when Nkosikho was about to serve her, she realized she didn’t have any money or cards on her. She immediately tried to stop him. Knowing about her trouble, Nkosikho decided to pay her gas bill of about RMB100 ($7) to make sure that she could travel across the highway with enough gas.

“Madam. I’ll pay for you so that you won’t run out of gas on the road. Whenever you are near here again, you can just give me back the money,” Nkosikho said. As for him, RMB100 was almost all he made in a day. He had to support a big family. He needed the money very much. He wasn’t even sure if Monet would come back to return his money, but he still volunteered to help her.

Several days later, Monet came back with his money and a box of chocolate. She was so thankful that she also posted their story on the Internet. Great changes took place. Nkosikho became famous in his town. Many people were moved by his act and offered to raise money for him. Nkosikho received around 24, 000, as much as about his salary (薪水) of eight years. His boss also heard of his kind act and he decided to give him a rise in salary.

“I feel like I’m dreaming. My life has been turned upside down,” Nkosikho said thankfully. As normal people, we can bring a great change to life by doing a small good thing.

___________________________________
