2．I live in Xizhou in Yunnan Province，on the historic Tea Horse Road.I have to admit that when I first heard that Paul Salopek was going to walk the entire globe on his own two feet，I was blown away.I couldn't imagine that there could be such an unusual person in the world.
Last May，I met Paul.He told me that it was his first time in China.He talked to me with great excitement about the history，migrations，and discoveries in my region of China.He spoke of the Shu-Yandu Dao（the Southern Silk Road），the travels of the 17th-century Chinese explorer Xu Xiake，the Tea Horse Road and the early 20th-century American botanist Joseph Rock.He also talked of Xuanzang.Paul considered many of them heroes and in a sense Chinese pioneers of slow journalism.
I decided to accompany Paul on his walk toward Yunnan.On September 28，2021，we set out.Our days were simple：walk，eat，sleep，and repeat.We woke up at sunrise，set off in high spirits，and rested at sunset，dragging ourselves into exhausted sleep.
We met many people on the road.Some were curious，surrounding us and watching us；some gave us directions；some invited us into their home to take a rest；some spoke of the charm of their hometown.We met many beautiful souls，simple souls and warm souls.We were walking with our minds.
Together，we were impressed by the biodiversity of the Gaoligong Mountains.As I walked on ancient paths through mountains，I seemed to hear the antique voices of past travelers urging me to be careful on the road.
Looking back on the more than 200 miles I walked with Paul，I came to a realization.Walking for its own sake，while healthy and admirable，is only a small part of the benefit of moving with our feet.A deeper reward is rediscovering the world around us，shortening the distance between each other，and sharing each other's cultures.
（1）How did the writer first respond to Paul's travel plan？
A．Scared.
B．Puzzled.
C．Disappointed.
D．Surprised.

A．They honored the ancestors.
B．They set off in high spirits.
C．They satisfied the locals' curiosity.
D．They built bonds with people.
（4）What is the main purpose of the writer's writing the text？
A．To share and reflect on a journey.

D．To introduce and promote Chinese culture.組卷：3引用：11難度：0.7 -
3．Integrity is the quality of being honest and strong about what you believe to be right.The concept of integrity has played a key role in moral philosophy throughout history and is promoted in all societies because of its importance to social relations.Individual integrity is vital to society，one that enables people to make use of their capacity for critical reflection，does not force people to take up particular roles and does not encourage individuals to betray each other.Besides，societies can be favorable to the development of individual integrity.
Individual integrity can lift up the spirits of the entire society.It can shape the lives of people living in a particular society，the lives of all fellow people and，in its broadest sense，even the destiny of a nation.By contrast，if those living in the society are corrupt，it could have bad effects，jeopardizing the healthy morality of the society.
On the other hand，a society can be favorable to the development of individual integrity.Society expects and requires integrity.A society consisting of people of integrity，and people who never compromise on their principles，could have a positive mark on the personal development on its members.Being a part of such a morally lively community could serve as a basis for absorbing traits of good character.This could be of a distinct advantage to any individuals in the society.
Nonetheless，some social structures are of the wrong sort for some individuals to pursue integrity.If that is the case，we have to ask questions about the moral nature of society first before raising questions about individual integrity.Questions about integrity may turn out to be about what kind of society it is，rather than about the relationship between individual interests and characteristics of a society.The pursuit of adequate individual integrity often depends，not so much on understanding who one is and what one believes and is committed to，but rather understanding what one's society is and imagining what it could be.
Under no circumstances can we underestimate the importance of human integrity in a society.People，who are honest，trustworthy，compassionate and caring，are the factors decisive in the growth of individuals as well as the development of a society.
（1）Individual integrity has been valued in society because.
A．it helps develop philosophy
B．it is crucial to social relations
C．it is the basis of critical thinking
D．it ensures people's particular roles
（2）The underlined word "jeopardizing" in Paragraph 2 probably means "".
A．strengthening
B．a(chǎn)ssessing
C．influencing
D．destroying
（3）What does the author believe according to the passage？
A．Individual integrity relies on what one has faith in.
B．The pursuit of individual integrity changes with time.
C．The nature of society is decided by economic development.
D．Social structures guide the formation of individual integrity.
（4）Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage？（CP：Central Point P：Point Sp：Sub-point C：Conclusion）A． 
B． 
C． 
D．

4．Death is a serious theme worthy of great poets.For example，John Keats' When I Have Fears That I May Cease to Be and John Donne's Death，Be Not Proud both discuss death in reflective ways.However，the imagery in these poems shows that while Keats believed death can only bring destruction，Donne believed death can be overcome.
Keats was afraid of death，because to him death meant the loss of those things that made his life worth living： "…on the shore/Of the wide world I stand alone，and think/Till love and fame to nothingness do sink." In other words，Keats' fear was that death was a "nothingness" that would arrive before he could finish his life's work or find his true love.
Donne had a different attitude toward death，and so the imagery in his poem is different，jye.aio.To Donne，death should "be not proud"，because it was not "mighty and dreadful".He also said that death was like "rest and sleep".Donne believed that we would all wake from the sleep of death to everlasting life，just as we wake from our normal sleep to our everyday lives.
Keats and Donne both knew that death was a part of life，and both poets used powerful imagery to talk about that difficult jye.aime.The differences in this imagery show two very different attitudes toward the subject，one of which is much more positive than the other.Which poet to believe is up to the reader to decide.
Not surprisingly，the readers' own experiences may play a part in the way they respond to these poets' approaches.Like the two poets and their beliefs，contemporary readers also may be divided on the subject.This may explain why Keats' and Donne's poetry remains fascinating years after their deaths.
（1）Which of the following may Keats agree with？
A．Death could stop him from writing poetry.
B．Death could help him find true love.
C．Death was not mighty and dreadful.
D．Death could be overcome by people.
（2）What did Donne believe in his poems？
A．Death was generally powerful and terrible.
B．Death was only a ceaseless sleep.
C．Death was merely the loss of work and love.
D．Death was hardly worth the fear.
（3）Why may contemporary readers view the serious subject of Keats and Donne differently？
A．Because they are attracted to the two poets' everlasting opposite beliefs.
B．Because they are divided naturally by their positive or negative personalities.
C．Because their own life experiences affect the understandings of the poems.
D．Because their preferences for the poets' strong imageries are various.
（4）Which of the following best describes the main writing style of the passage？
A．Analysis.
B．Argument.
C．Comparison.
D．Reasoning.組卷：1引用：2難度：0.3

5．The Power of Poetry People are suffering from depression and anxiety now more than ever.To help case the pain，they are turning to new approaches and，believe it or not，poetry is one of them.
It's common sense that reading fiction can increase empathy （同理心）. （1）Well，for decades，scientific studies have proven that poetry has a beneficial impact in managing pain，handling stress and improving personal well-being.Let's dive a bit deeper，and consider some specific ways in which poetry can help mental health.
Poetry can be a form of comfort.By reading poetry，we can get the escapism we long for，transporting us out of our own world and into someone else's. （2）Trying to uncover the meaning of a poem can give us a necessary break from our inner monologue as well.
It can be a shared experience.Poems are often quite emotional in nature. （3）There's something quite comforting in the knowledge that we're not alone and that our pain is shared with someone else.Poetry often reveals that there is universality （普遍性） in the human experience.
（4）Many poems creatively tackle some sensitive topics like depression，anxiety，abuse，poverty，all of which can be found in a poetic form，empowering both the poet and the reader.
To put it lightly，life is tough，but it's important to remember that we're not alone.The next time you're feeling hopeless，try diving into the works of a poet. （5）Who knows？
A.However，how does it work？
B.But what's so special about poetry？
C.As the saying goes，misery loves company.
D.Poetry can also be a platform for change and advocacy.
E.You might be inspired to write some poetry of your own.
F.Chances are that you will heat the love songs of the poet.
G.The repetition and rhyme found in it con relieve our pain.組卷：1引用：3難度：0.5

Outside the Box The Harvestfest contest was falling on Friday and everyone in school was talking about it.All the students would show up in their self-made costumes（裝扮）and a winner would be chosen by the principal.
"Do you have your costume for the Harvestfest contest？"Alice asked."I'm going as a chocolate bar.My mom and I have been working on it all week."
"Yeah，I have a costume，"said Jordan Eastman，popping up the two front wheels of his wheelchair as he waited for his dad to pick him up."But it's boring."
"Why？What is it？"Alice asked.
"MaxMag the superhero，but Danny，Tom and Izzy are all going as MaxMag too."Jordan shook his head."That's too many to stand a chance at winning the contest."He waved to his dad，who had just pulled up in front of the school.
Jordan rolled his wheelchair toward his dad，and Alice walked with him to the minivan（小貨車）.
"Maybe you should go as something else."
"The contest is Friday night."Jordan sighed."It's too late to change costumes."
"Jordan，you have to think outside the box.Look around your house and see what you have.There's hidden potential in everyday items."She took a sip of her drink，and told Jordan that her chocolate-bar costume was made from old fabric her mom had lying around and recycled plastics.
On his way home，Jordan was quiet.He kept thinking about Alice's words：Think outside the box.There's hidden potential in everyday items.When he got home，he found his mum handling with some wooden pieces.She was putting a new desk together.On top of the desk was the huge empty cardboard box the pieces had come in.Mom smiled at Jordan，pointing at the desk，"What do you think？"
