四、Reading Comprehension

1.

Passage One  Animals, including insects, do not have a language like ours. They do not talk to each other in words and 2sentences. But if we watch them, we can see that they do have ways of communicating with each other.  Can you see the rabbit’s tail? When rabbits see this white tail moving up and down, they run too. They know that they are in danger. The rabbit has told them something without making a sound. It has done this by using its body language.  Many other animals use this kind of language. When a cobra (眼镜蛇) is angry, it raises its head and makes itself look fierce. This warns other animals. When a bee has found some food, it goes back to its home. It cannot tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them but it does a little dance in the air. This tells the bees where the food is.  Some animals say things by making sounds. A dog barks, for example, when a stranger comes near. Some birds make several different sounds, each with its own meaning. Sometimes we human beings speak in the same way. We make sounds like “Oh” or “Ah” when we are frightened or pleased or when we drop something on our toes.  But we have something that no other animals have—a large number of words that have the meanings of things, actions, feelings or ideas. No other animals have so wonderful a language as we have.

Passage Two  When I was a girl growing up, I could not once ever remember either my mum or my grandma wasting food.  Anything we didn’t eat at one meal was leftovers (剩菜). I can remember my grandma making a huge pot of potatoes. We would all eat until we were full enough, but there were always about half of the potatoes left over. A few days later, grandma would take those potatoes out of the fridge, boil some noodles, add some vegetables and mix them all together. And I also remember when I watched my mum fry bacon for us in the mornings, she would always take the oil carefully and pour it into a bottle. Then she would use it later to add flavor to so many other dishes. I was an adult before I realized that potatoes didn’t actually taste like bacon!  I learned their lessons well, and after I grew up, I tried to never waste food myself. I always planned the week’s meals ahead of time and only bought what was on my shopping list so that nothing went to waste. Every meal went into our stomachs and any leftovers were later eaten by myself, my boys, my husband or my dogs. To me, throwing food into the bin was just wrong.  However, when it comes to living, there are no leftovers. Life is just like a feast. Each moment that you don’t live is lost forever. Life cannot be saved or stored. Each day is a fresh beginning. Live each moment of your life to the fullest, then.

  Passage Three  What is bamboo? Is it a tall thin tree or a kind of grass? To many people’s surprise, it is a type of fast-growing grass! Bamboo grows in Africa, Asia, South America, North America and Australia.  Bamboo has been used for thousands of years and by countless cultures. China, one of the oldest and largest producers of bamboo, has been making use of it for more than 5,000 years. People have used it for many things, such as food, clothing, and houses. One of the world’s oldest water pipes was made from bamboo. The grass was very much treasured by the Chinese people. In Africa, over the years, bamboo was used for building and as food, and bamboo parts were also used as medicine. In India, bamboo has been made into different tools and many musical instruments were made of bamboo.  Bamboo is a super-plant that fights against climate change. It gives off about 35 percent more oxygen than a group of trees of a similar size. Additionally, certain kinds of bamboo take in large amounts of harmful gases. It also helps people depend less on harmful materials like plastic and hardwood. The speed at which bamboo grows is amazing—over a meter a day, making it a highly renewable resource.  With all these things going for it, bamboo is the perfect choice for everything. It’s an excellent building material used in homes, bridges and roads. It can also be made into clothes because it is fast-drying. Beautiful chairs, beds and tables are made from this durable material that people can use for a long time. Its uses seem never-ending.

Passage Four  US company Motorola created the first cell phone in 1973. The brick-sized phone could only make calls for 30 minutes. Today, we have 5G smartphones that look very different and can do a lot more. What will the future phones be like?  Most foldable (可折叠的) phones today can only fold the screen up and down or left and right. But in the future, phones will be much more flexible. In October 2023, Motorola put out a new phone. People can wear it like a bracelet (手环) and bend it into different shapes. Apple is also working on a way to make foldable screens with fewer creases (折痕).  Not only will the phones become flexible, but they will also be able to fix themselves. A professor made an electronic skin that can fix itself with heat and magnets (磁). This skin acts like human skin, stretching without tearing. If it is used to make phones, the technology could lead to devices that could fix scratches by themselves.  People will also power phones in ways that are different from now. For example, using solar energy. In 2016, a company made a phone with solar panels (电池板) in the screen. It takes three minutes of sunlight to charge for one minute of talk time. But it still needs traditional batteries. In the future, faster and independent solar charging could make solar-powered phones more popular.

Passage Five  Life is made up of a mixture of good and bad, including many disappointments. I’ve found that what is important, in the midst of all of this, is to keep hope alive. Hope gives us light in the darkness and energy to keep going.  The other day, I was interviewed by a reporter who was writing an article about how to find a job after being laid off. We talked about many specific skills and tasks, and then we hit what I believe to be, in many ways, at the center of the issue. “It’s important not to lose hope, to stay as positive as one can. It’s important to build practice and support systems to help keep hope alive,” I shared. “An attitude of possibilities and a strong connection to hope help many people get through the challenge of looking for jobs.”  As a coach and advisor, I am fortunate to stand by my clients as they walk through many, many challenges. I have witnessed the strength-giving influence of hope. I have seen clients, who could have easily walked away in despair, hold onto their hope and find a path out of their troubles. I have seen others who get lost in their despair and are beaten down by the disappointments and struggles they face on their way.  “Hope springs eternal.” “Hope saves the day.” There is a reason why we are surrounded with sayings that emphasize the importance of optimism. An attitude of hope and positive expectations of the future, even in the midst of struggle, can help us “keep the faith” long enough to emerge on the other side.  Imagine the positive possibilities that surround you—even in your most challenging situation. Let yourself keep hopeful that one, or some, of these are probable.

六、Writing

假如你是李华,你的外国笔友Alice对中国的礼仪很感兴趣,并写信向你了解中国日常生活中的基本社交礼仪,如待人接物、餐桌礼仪等。请根据以下提示给Alice写一封电子邮件。要点:(1)初次见面、受邀做客时应该怎么做;(2)就餐时如何做到举止得体。

参考答案:

Dear Alice,  I’m happy to know that you’re interested in Chinese social manners. Here are some important ones to keep in mind.  Firstly, when we meet someone for the first time, we’re supposed to shake hands politely. Secondly, when we’re invited to a party, we should bring a gift and arrive on time or a few minutes earlier to show respect. Thirdly, when we have meals with others, it is considered impolite to point at others with our chopsticks. Finally, we shouldn’t make noise when we have our soup. These customs reflect the value of respect and good manners in Chinese culture.  I hope the above is helpful. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me.Yours,Li Hua
