"The atmosphere here at Rio de Janeiro is electric!If China wins this point，they will walk out of the stadium with an Olympic gold medal.Zhang Changning serves.Over the net，Popovic dives for the ball.She only just reaches it...and it's sent straight back to her by the Chinese spiker Hui Ruoqi.Popovic can't get the ball back this time...and that's it!It's over!It's gold for China!Look how the crowd has gone wild.You can see the joy and pride on the faces of the Chinese fans.And there we see the Chinese players embracing，with tears of happiness in their eyes...It's a dream come true for China!The Chinese women's volleyball team is Olympic champion once again!"
The Chinese women's volleyball team holds a very special place in the nation's heart.In the 1980s，the team burst onto the international volleyball scene with several major world titles，and an amazing three-set victory over the United States in the final of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.They became national heroes overnight.There was gold once more at Athens in 2004.But winning gold in Rio paints the most vivid portrait of the team's competitive spirit.
In Rio，the Chinese women's volleyball team needed all of its fighting spirit after it was assigned to the "group of death"，where it faced several strong opponents in the group stage matches.Despite reaching the quarter-finals as the fourth team in the group，with just two wins in preliminary matches，they were not going to give up.Every single member of the team gave their all to the fight，including Hui Ruoqi who had had heart surgery less than five months previously.
Their perseverance paid off with an epic comeback against the defending champion Brazil in the quarter-finals.Next，the Chinese team defeated the Netherlands in the semi-final matches，having lost to them in the preliminaries.At last，showing a strong will and the steeliest nerves，they played a close match against Serbia to seize gold in the final.
But fighting spirit alone was not enough to guarantee victory.Strong team spirit also contributed greatly to their success.Cooperation between team members is essential.If each individual does her job and works well with others，then the end goal can be achieved.In fact，strong team spirit is more important than the skills of individual players.Zhu Ting，named Most Valuable Player at the Rio Olympics，also identified this as the special ingredient in the team's success： "Teamwork is the key to China's victory.Thanks to my teammates' hard efforts，I had the opportunity to show my spiking skill."
Together，the Chinese women's volleyball team has fought their way through ups and downs.Led by well-known Chinese volleyball player and coach Lang Ping，they have continued to aim high.Lang is only too aware that as soon as a team steps off the victory podium，they need to start from zero to prepare for new challenges ahead.In this way，the team begins its journey to the next Olympics.

1．British children's writer Roald Dahl ate chocolates and sweets "pretty much every mealtime"，remembers daughter Ophelia Dahl．
After dinner，whether dining alone or entertaining guests，Dahl would pass around a little red plastic box full of Mars Bars，Milky Ways，Maltesers，Kit Kats and much more．
He knew the history of all the sweets and could tell you exactly when they were invented． =1937 was a big year when Kit Kats （his favorite），Rolos，and Smarties （his dog，chopper's favorite） were invented．He wrote a history of chocolate，lecturing schoolchildren to commit such dates to memory，such as 1928 when "Cadbury's Fruit and Nut Bar popped up on the scene"，saying don't bother with the Kings and Queens of England．All of you should learn these dates instead．Perhaps the Headmistress will see from now on that it becomes part of the major teaching in this school．
According to Dahl，the Golden Years of Chocolate were 1930-1937．In 1930，Roald Dahl was 14 years old．He was a student at Repton，a famous boys' boarding school in England．It was a tough environment：Those in authority were more interested in controlling than educating the students．
Ironically，it was at this difficult period that chocolate became Dahl's passion．Near Repton was a Cadbury chocolate factory．Every so often，Cadbury would send each schoolboy a sampler box of new chocolates to taste and grade．They were using the students - "the greatest chocolate bar experts in the world" to test out their new inventions．
This was when Dahl's imagination took flight．He pictured fiactories with inventing rooms with pots of chocolate and fudge （軟糖）and "all sorts of other delicious fillings bubbling away on the stoves"．
"It was lovely dreaming those dreams…when I was looking for a plot for my second book for children，I remembered those little cardboard boxes and the newly-invented chocolates inside them，and I began to write a book called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory．"
For the record，Roald Dahl did not like chocolate cake or chocolate ice cream．He said， "I prefer my chocolate straight．"

2．LANZHOU-When an international olive oil competition announced its winners in Greece in late June，excitement spread across the village of Daoqi in Northwest China.
"The award-winning olive oil was made from our fruit，" said Ru Ciming，50，an olive planter from the village under the city of Longnan，Gansu province.The variety of olive trees in Ru's orchard（果園）was introduced from Spajye.ai.In the eyes of locals，the foreign trees have not only pulled the city，once among the least-developed regions in China，out of poverty，but they have also brought them international fame.
Olives originated in the Mediterranean（地中海地區(qū)）and their oil，often called liquid gold，is used widely in food，cosmetics and medicjye.aie.In the 1960s，the Albanian government gifted China more than 10，000 olive saplings（樹苗），which were then planted in many parts of the country on nationwide trials.Longnan began to plant olive trees in the early 1970s and experts concluded that the region was ideal for the resettlement of the olive trees due to its climate and soil condition.After years of experiments and promotion，it is now the largest olive cultivation（栽培）base in China.
In recent years，the local olive oil industry has continued to expand as Longnan has improved cooperation with Mediterranean countries that have a long history of olive planting，including Italy，Greece and Spain.The improved cooperation aims to introduce better varieties and initiate technical exchanges.
Pedro J.Rodriguez Sanchez，a Spanish olive seedling expert，was one of the early contributors to olive exchanges.He arrived in Longnan in 2009，when only half of the local olive tree seedlings had survived.His technical guidance helped raise the survival rate to over 90 percent.
Zhao Haiyun，an official in charge of promoting the olive industry in Longnan's Wudu District，said that many more European experts have arrived since Sanchez.They have visited orchards to offer guidance to farmers，and helped companies improve their processing and storage procedures.
They have helped the district，as well as the city of Longnan，to jump on the bandwagon of China's rising demand for high-quality olive oil，especially among well-off urban families，said Zhao.
（1）What can we learn from the third paragraph？
A．Olive oil is named liquid gold and has many uses.
B．The Albanian government sold some olive saplings to China.
C．Longnan has a history of about 30 years of planting olive trees.
D．Longnan is fit for the growth of olive trees due to its rich water resources.
（2）Where did Pedro J.Rodriguez Sanchez come from？
A．Italy.
B．Albania.
C．Spain.
D．Greece.
（3）Which of the following words can replace the underlined one "bandwagon" in the last paragraph？
A．Policy.
B．Habit.
C．Fashion.
D．Model.
（4）What can be the best title for the news report？

C．Longnan is largest olive cultivation base in China
D．Longnan improves cooperation with Mediterranean countries發(fā)布：2025/1/1 16:0:1組卷：4引用：2難度：0.5 -
3．Hannah Levine decided she wanted to give hugs to all of the children and families in need at local hospitals.
Because she couldn't give them hugs one by one，Levine，then a sixth-grader，decided she would use her talents （才能） to do the next best thing.She began to knit （編織） hats，scarves，and blankets for families staying at the Ronald McDonald House at Stanford.Her creations also went to Bundle of Joy，a programme that provides newborn baby items for families in need，and to Knitting Pals by the Bay，a local organisation that provides hand-knitted caps to cancer patients.
"I love to knit，and I thought it would be a great idea to make all these handmade items for kids and adults who need them.It would be like a hug for them，" Levine explained.
Levine started the project about a year ago. "I think it's just really fun to do，and it keeps me busy，" said Levine，now 13.
Once she got started，Levine realised that her project could be much bigger than the goods she was able to produce with just her own hands.So she sent emails to her school and communities，asking for knitted donations （捐贈(zèng)物） to the project，she named "Hannah's Warm Hugs".She also posted advertisements at Starbucks and other locations in her area.The warm goods began to pour in.
"It was amazing；more strangers than people she knew started dropping donations at our door，" said Levine's mother，Laura Levine. "We ended up with this huge box of items she was donating."
The knitted items numbered in the hundreds.Levine made her first round of donations around Hanukkah （an eight-day Jewish holiday in November or December） and later received thank-you letters from the organisations.Levine is still knitting，and she said the project will continue.
"It has turned into a bigger thing than she had thought，" her mum said. "It made her feel pretty good；it made us feel pretty good."
