They were classmates years ago. But Amy seldom visited her nowadays.
One evening Louis came home with a big smile. “Here is something you will like,” giving Amy a letter. On it were printed these words:
Suddenly, two tears moved slowly down her face. “Give the invitation to someone whose wife has good clothes or necklaces. I have no such possessions, therefore I cannot go to the party.” She said.
“ Don’t worry,” he replied, “Ask Tracy to lend you some. She’ll be glad to help you.”
The next day she went to Tracy and explained the situation. Tracy immediately took out a large box, and held it out to Amy. Amy looked at it very carefully and finally chose an expensive diamond necklace.
The day of the party came. Amy was a great success. Everybody noticed her and admired her. She danced and floated on a cloud of joy.

While in high school, Zhan Tianyou became very interested in the rapid development of modern science and technology. He was impressed by the new American railroad system and the hard work of the Chinese workers who helped to build it. During a visit to Philadelphia, he was amazed by the shows of science and technology at the World Fair. He was also unhappy to see that only a few objects were shown by Chinese at the fair, mostly tea, silk and china.
Those first five years of research and experience, the great encouragement of his good friend Mrs Northrop, and his strong wish to help his home country led him to a very clear choice of major in college: civil engineering, focusing on railroad building. He had seen first-hand how building railroads had greatly helped America’s growth, and he felt that China would benefit similarly from having railroads.
Therefore, at the age of 17, Zhan Tianyou entered Yale University’s Sheffield Scientific School to study civil engineering. His hard work won him a scholarship and a medal in maths during his time there. He graduated in 1881 with a Ph.B. degree, being the first in the graduation exams. Of the 120 Chinese boys who came to the US through the Chinese Educational Program(CEP), only Zhan Tianyou and another student completed college degrees, as in the summer of 1881, the Qing government decided to call the CEP students back.
Zhan Tianyou returned to China with a great wish to use his education and experience to build up his country. Seven years later, in 1888, he finally began to realize his dream of building a railroad system in China. He became famous for his amazing work on the Beijing - Zhangjiakou Railway, a railway line built across some of the most difficult geographical conditions in China. Zhan Tianyou, now known as the Father of China’s Railroad, served his country for 31 years, improving life for millions of people.
30. What impressed Zhan Tianyou during his visit to Philadelphia
A. The high-speed trains in America.
B. The Chinese workers building the railroad.
C. The large number of Chinese shows at the fair.
D. The newest technology on show at the World Fair.
31. Which of the following is the reason for Zhan Tianyou to choose civil engineering as his major
A. His family’s background in engineering.
B. His friend Mrs. Northrop forced him to study it.
C. He was offered a scholarship and a medal in this field.
D. He wanted to make Chinese railroads develop better like the US.
32. How is the passage mainly developed
A. By time. B. By space. C. By examples. D. By comparison.
33. What is the main purpose of this passage
A. To describe the history of American and Chinese railroads.
B. To compare US and Chinese education systems in the 19th century.
C. To introduce Zhan Tianyou’s life and his efforts to China’s railroad development.
D. To introduce Zhan Tianyou’s educational experience and how he helped build US railroads.

Scientists in Australia have used Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help them save an endangered tiny bird called the Plains - wanderer, which lives in Australia’s grasslands, not just any grasslands. Plains - wanderers are picky. There can’t be too much grass or too little. For this reason, scientists sometimes call them the “Goldilocks” of animals.
The birds were common in eastern Australia. But that’s changed, as grasslands have been turned into farms and cities. As a result, the birds’ number has fallen by over 85% in recent years. Scientists believe there are now only 250 to 1,000 of the birds left in the wild.
Zoos Victoria, an organization that aims to save the bird, says, “There is no bird like it in the world.” The strange little birds are only about six inches tall. They’re not good at flying, so they spend most of their time on the ground. When they are afraid, they try to sit to hide themselves. One more thing that makes Plains - wanderers unusual is that the females are larger, and are in charge of protecting their home. The male birds are smaller and take care of the eggs.
To protect these birds, scientists first had to learn where they were. So Zoos Victoria worked with Queensland University of Technology on a plan to look for the birds. Since Plains - wanderers are hard to find, the team chose to “listen” for the birds instead. Female Plains - wanderers make an unusual “Ooom” call, and this was the key to finding them.
Thirty - five special recording machines called “song meters” were set up to record all the sounds made in nine different areas where Plains - wanderers could possibly have been. The song meters collected tens of hours of recordings and then the data was processed by an AI system. Happily, the AI system discovered Plains - wanderer calls coming from two of the places.
Chris Hartnett, who works with Zoos Victoria, said it was like “finding gold”. It’s the first time in over 30 years that the Plains - wanderer has been found in the west of Melbourne. The new information will help scientists protect the birds. And the researchers are still “listening” — using song meters and AI to try to find more of these Goldilocks birds.
34. Why are the Plains - wanderers sometimes considered as “Goldilocks” by the scientist
A. Because they almost disappear.
B. Because they require a special living environment.
C. Because there is no enough grassland for them to live in.
D. Because they are tiny Australian birds with gold feathers.
35. What can we learn about the Plains - wanderers from the passage
A. The Plains - wanderers are too short to run on the ground.
B. The number of the Plains - wanderers has increased in these years.
C. The Plains - wanderers are able to hide themselves to the forest when they are in fear.
D. The female Plains - wanderers are used to taking more responsibilities to guard their nest.
36. How did the scientists find the Plains - wanderers in the wild
A. They used an AI system to learn the birds’ footprints.
B. They set up several machines to locate the birds’ calls.
C. They visited a university to look up information of the birds.
D. They designed a plan to look for the birds’ sounds with zoo - keepers.
37. Where can we probably find this passage
A. A comic strip. B. A science fiction.
C. A nature report. D. A fashion magazine.

第二節 閱讀填空（共5小題，每小題1分，滿分5分）
Pickled vegetables (榨菜) are Chinese people’s solution to tasteless food. Just a spoon of pickled vegetables over rice can make a meal taste a million times better. 41
Because of busy work schedules, many young people in China don’t have time to enjoy deep conversations with friends and families at the dinner table. 42 Rather than dining with loved ones, Chinese young people are kept company by TV shows or short videos. 43
The term started getting popular among young people in China recently, as many people find that it’s impossible to enjoy a good meal without watching or listening to something interesting. Some popular picks include classic Chinese dramas like Empresses in the Palace (《甄嬛傳》) and My Own Swordsman (《武林外傳》). 44 You don’t need to know anything about where to get a good laugh from different video clips.
“The true meaning of food is the happiness it brings after a long period of hard time. A bowl of hot tofu rice cake, fried chicken fingers, and my digital pickled vegetables after a tiring workday can be enjoyable. Life couldn’t get any better,” shared a Weibo user.
45 They have pointed out that these short clips damage good films and books by providing useless information. However, others see nothing wrong with some harmless fun to go with a lonely meal after a long day of work.
A. Instead, they find themselves eating alone.
B. Some have questioned the value of such videos.
C. On the Internet, such things have been called “digital pickled vegetables”.
D. But how are Chinese young people dealing with boring dining experiences
E. American comedies such as Friends are also liked for their funny jokes and simple storylines.

My Favorite Chinese Traditional Festival
With the development of China, more and more foreigners become interested in Chinese traditional culture, especially Chinese traditional festivals. There are many traditional festivals in China. My favourite one is Spring Festival.
During this festival, family members get together and have a big meal. And dumplings are the most traditional food. After dinner, people watch Spring Gala on TV till midnight. In most places, people like to let off fireworks to celebrate it. The reason why I like Spring Festival best is that I needn’t go to school. Besides, I can eat a lot of delicious food and get some red packets.
To make more people know about rich Chinese culture, I will make a homepage to spread it. Moreover, I’m going to study Chinese traditional culture hard.
My Favorite Chinese Traditional Festival
With the development of China, more and more foreigners become interested in Chinese traditional culture, especially Chinese traditional festivals. My favorite festival is Mid - Autumn Festival, which falls on the 15th of the eighth month of our Chinese lunar calendar.
In traditional Chinese culture, the moon on the festival night is believed to be the fullest and brightest of the whole year, symbolizing family reunion.During the festival, my families who live far away try their best to go home and enjoy a big feast. Finally, at night we usually enjoy the moon, eating moon cakes and fruits and chatting. Through these traditional festivals, we can spread Chinese culture.
For me, I will teach others to make tasty moon cakes, which include mixed nuts, red beans, white lotus, salt yolk and fruits moon cakes. Everyone is very happy on the Mid - Autumn night. All in all, Mid - Autumn Festival is in autumn, my favorite season.
