Last year, more than 500 students from different colleges took the test of “elephant driving license” at Yunnan College. Some of the students got an “elephant riding license” in Yunnan Province. The license has the driver’s information on the left page and the elephant’s information on the right. Each elephant has its own name, such as “Shaobaogu” “Shaoerkuai” and “Xiaoyangyu”. Most of them are the names of popular food.
So, can the students really ride an elephant with the license? Of course not. In fact, the license is a gift from the college to its new students. The teachers of the college wanted to tell their students to protect wildlife by doing this. They said that wild Asian elephants are under first class protection in our country. Only about 300 elephants remain. The students should never ride them. They should learn to protect them, because they’re in great danger. Some people think people in Yunnan go to school or work by riding an elephant. But actually, they don’t do that. The teachers of the college came up with this good idea. They hope to pass on the idea of protecting the Asian elephants to more people.
Volunteering with Asian elephants is the perfect way to discover the beauty of Asia. And we should protect one of the symbolic animals of the Asian culture at the same time. 21. How many college students wanted to have an “elephant driving license”?
A．More than five thousand. C．Over five hundred.
B．Less than three hundred. D．More than three thousand.
B．better
C．farther
D．less
B．so
C．until
D．although
B．poor
C．strong
D．weak
B．badly
C．exactly
D．politely
22. Where do most of the elephants’names come from?
A．Great colleges.
B．Popular food.
C．Interesting games.
D．Famous places.
23. What can the license help students do?
A．Drive a car.
B．Ride an elephant.
C．Feed the elephants.
D．Learn to protect elephants.
24. What can we know from the text?
A．The students can ride an elephant with the license.
B．All college students in Yunnan have an “elephant riding license”. C．Students can buy an “elephant riding license” from their teachers. D．Wild Asian elephants are in great danger in our country. 25. What does the writer want to tell us?
A．How to get an “elephant riding license”. C．New college students should learn special skills.
In Britain, Boxing Day(节礼日) is usually celebrated on December 26th. It is the following day after Christmas Day. However, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it’s a non-working day in the whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.
The start of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is during the Middle Ages. When great ships were setting off to discover the new land, a Christmas Box was placed by an important person on each ship. Those sailors (水手) who wanted to have a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed up and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the important person. But he wouldn’t open it to share them with the poor until Christmas. One more thought is about the “Alms Box” in every church on Christmas Day. People put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas, that is why that day became known as Boxing Day.
Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day. They give away their time, services and money to Food Banks. And they provide gifts for the poor to help families in need. Now spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities.
B．People should learn to protect elephants. D．How to protect elephants and other wildlife.
26. If Christmas Day is on a Saturday, Boxing Day will be celebrated on ________.
A．December 25th
B．December 26th
C．December 27th
D．December 28th
27. Sailors dropped money into the Christmas Box in order to ________.
A．save the poor C．discover the new land
B．pay for the important person D．have a safe return
28. What does the underlined phrase “sealed up” mean
A．密封
B．上交
C．归还
D．传递
29. Which of the following activities can’t show the traditional spirit of Boxing Day?
A．Offering gifts to the poor. C．Spending time with family.
30. The main idea of the passage is ________.
A．praising the kindness of businesses B．introducing the start of Boxing Day C．calling on people to help the poor
D．comparing Boxing Day with Christmas Day
Many people get nervous when speaking in front of others. If you have this fear and want to get it over, here is some advice for you. 31 Take some time to prepare what you’re going to talk about before the event. It’s also a good idea to think about what questions people may ask you and how you would answer them. Being prepared means it’s less likely that you’ll make a mistake. Practice, and then practice more
Try speaking in front of your friends or family, or record yourself to see where you could improve it. If possible, visit the place where you’ll give a speech to practice in the room or with the equipment(设备) you’ll use on the day. 32 . Think about your fears
33 —whether falling over on stage(舞台) or forgetting your words—and you’ll realize that it likely wouldn’t be as bad as you think. 34 This can work very well. When you feel nervous, take two or more deep slow breaths. Think of helping people
Instead of thinking about how nervous you feel, think about other people and how your words might help them. 35 , not how you’re saying it—they may not even know you’re nervous.

Around the world, people get together to eat lunch or dinner. The certain rules at the table include how to use a knife, fork or spoon correctly or when to ask to be served. All these rules are called table manners. These rules change from one culture to another, so what is considered to be polite in one culture can be seen as very rude in another. It wouldn’t be a bad thing to learn about table manners.
In some countries in Europe and North America, for example, France, you might be advised to always rest your hands on the table while you are not using a knife or fork to eat. Keeping your
hands under the table where nobody can see them is considered a bad dining manner. “________” is one of the basic dining rules in these areas. Why is that? Some people guess this tradition started because people were afraid of what other people might be doing under the table, like holding a gun. In some countries like Ethiopia(埃塞俄比亚), traditionally, the food is eaten with hands, usually from a large plate. Several delicious meals are put together on a plate and the guests sit around it. The proper way to eat them is to get a piece of bread, and then some food that is close to you with it, and put it in your mouth. Because you are touching the food with your hands, make sure that you always wash hands before and after the meal. The left hand is considered unclean, so it is polite to only use your right hand to eat.
46. 从文中找出与“Learning about table manners would be a good idea”意思相同或相近的句子。 ________________________________________________________________________. 47. Which of the following can be put back into the “______” ?
A．Use a knife or fork to eat C．Hands on the table
B．Rest during table time D．Keep hands clean
48. 将文中划线句子The proper way to eat them is to get a piece of the bread译为汉语。 ____________________________________________________________________。 49. 根据短文内容填空，每空1词。
From the passage we can know that “rude” means ________ in English. In some ________ countries like France, people might ________ you to rest your hands on the table while you are not using a knife or fork to eat. But in Ethiopia, people get used to eating with their _______ hand.
In the world, things made in China are everywhere. Riding a Mobike on the street, you might hear some people speaking Chinese aloud. Turning to the right, you might see a Sichuan-style restaurant. After walking into a store, you might see that Huawei smartphones are on sale. But you’re not in China—you’re in Manchester in Britain. In fact, you might see similar things in many other cities. Chinese products have been going all over the world.
Chinese food became popular in western countries hundreds of years ago. To meet local people’s tastes, Chinese restaurants make some changes to the dishes. “One example is the meat.” Said Liu Wen, a Chinese student who is studying in France. “We Chinese like to eat meat with the bone(骨头) in, but people here don’t. So the local Chinese restaurants provide big pieces of meat without bones, even for fish.”
Some Chinese brands are also becoming more popular. In many cities in Europe, many stores sell TCL televisions, Haier fridges and Lenovo computers. More than half of US-owned drones(无人机) are Chinese models. They’re not only made in China, but also designed(设计) and developed in our country. More and more people trust Chinese brands. “Made in China” becomes cool. About Chinese smartphones, some people say that they are beautiful and offer something special that American smartphones don’t have.
Now, Chinese government has been trying its best to improve its national brands of all kinds. We’ll be successful from “Made in China” to “Made by China”.
