三、阅读理解（共7小题；每小题2分，满分14分）

A

Do you know that it is your immune system (免疫系统) working against the virus (病毒) that makes you uncomfortable when getting a cold, but not the virus itself? So when you have got a strong immune system—and the virus is strong enough too—you will possibly get terrible cold symptoms (症状) such as having a headache, having a high fever, sneezing or coughing．

Vitamin C won’t stop a cold． It is said that Vitamin C works by increasing white blood cells (细胞)． However, many tests have shown that it does not prevent colds． At best, it only reduces the time of symptoms．

Staying indoors won’t protect you． One of the most likely sources (根源) of cold viruses is your computer mouse or desk． A study of the cold virus in offices found that 46 percent of computer mice and 45 percent of telephones had cold viruses on them．

Wearing warm clothes won’t protect you． Colds are more common in autumn and winter． That’s because the cool, wet and cold weather drives people indoors, where viruses may more easily jump from one person to the next． And the distinct peak (高峰期) in colds is in September and February, which is likely because of the return of students to schools and colleges after the summer and winter holidays．

Old wives are right about chicken soup． Grandmothers’ chicken soup is an old cure for colds for a long time． Scientists say it is true． Chicken soup does help cure a cold, so many wives usually cook chicken soup for their family members in cold winters．

26． According to the passage, when your immune system is working against the virus, you don’t have cold symptoms like ________．

A． headache                    B． stomachache                C． sneeze                        D． cough

27． Which of the following ways can really help cure colds?

A． Staying indoors．                                                B． Wearing more clothes．

C． Drinking some chicken soup．                              D． Eating some fruit with Vitamin C．

28． Why are colds more common in autumn and winter?

A． Because students return to school．                       B． Because the weather is cool, wet and cold．

C． Because people don’t drink chicken soup．             D． Because people use computers or telephones more often．

B

At noon the rush hour had passed． There were few guests (顾客) in the snack bar． It was not crowded． When the boss was about to take a break to read a newspaper, in came an old lady and a little boy．

“How much money is a bowl of beef soup?” the grandma sat down, counted the money in her purse and ordered a bowl of beef soup． The grandma pushed the bowl to the little boy, who swallowed (吞咽) his saliva (口水), looking at his grandma and saying, “Grandma, did you really have lunch?” “Of course．” His grandma chewed (咀嚼) a piece of radish (萝卜泡菜) slowly． Very quickly, the little boy ate up the meal．

Seeing this, the boss went over to them and said, “Old lady, congratulations, you are lucky to have the free food, for you are our 100th guest．”

Afterwards, over a month or more, one day, the small boy squatted (蹲) across the snack bar, where he seemed to be counting something, which shocked the boss when he happened to look out office window．

When the small boy saw a guest walk into the snack bar, he would put a small stone into the circle he drew, but the lunch time had almost passed, the small stones he put into the circle were hardly 50．

The boss was quite worried and called up all his old guests． The guests started coming one after another．

“81, 82, 83…” the small boy counted faster and faster． At last, when the 99th small stone was put into the circle, the little boy hurried to pull his grandma’s hand and went into the snack bar．

“Grandma, this time it’s on me,” the little boy said proudly． The grandma who had become the real 100th guest was served a bowl of beef soup by her grandson． As his grandma as before, the little boy chewed a piece of radish in his mouth．

29． Grandma ordered only one bowl of beef soup because __________．

A． Grandma only liked radish

C． Grandma loved her grandson more than herself

D． There was only one bowl of beef soup left in the snack bar at that time

31． Why did the boy put the small stones into the circle he drew?

A． He played games with his friends．

B． He was asked to count the guests for the boss．

C． He wanted to get the free beef soup for his grandma．

D． He only wanted to know the number of the small stones．

It’s common to see coffee art when drinking coffee, but few people know the same thing with tea． Han Zheming has managed to perfect the skill, creating tea art in cups, or Dian Cha in Chinese． He thinks it’s like adding some decorations to tea and giving people a stronger sense of occasion (仪式)． Besides the tea art, Dian Cha in modern ways also makes the taste better． It is something like the foam (泡沫) on top of a cup of coffee．

Before, tea was served for the people in the Palace in China． Common people didn’t have the chance to enjoy it． Then tea culture started to become popular during the Song Dynasty, when tea had become a necessity for almost everyone． During that time, the most fashionable way of having tea was through Dian Cha． The process begins with hot water being poured over fine powdered (粉状) tea, and then more hot water is slowly added as the tea is hit by hand with a bamboo stick． It is believed that this method was later learned in other parts of the world, where you can see matcha (抹茶) made like that today．

This action of pouring hot water is called Dian, which was listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) of Runzhou district, Zhenjiang city, Jiangsu Province, in 2019．

In order to let more people know this art, Han put the process of making Dian Cha on social media platforms, including Little Red Book, Bilibili and Douyin． He has more than 20,000 followers on Little Red Book, and some of his videos have received more than 300,000 views． The results are much better than he expected． Out of his love of Dian Cha, he will go on making more people know it and love it． He is certain that Chinese people will enjoy it just as Western people do with coffee in the near future．

阅读以上信息，用恰当的单词完成下面的短文，每空一词。

Dian Cha was listed as an intangible cultural heritage of Runzhou district, Zhenjiang city, Jiangsu Province in 2019． Tea used to be ____44____ served for the people in the Palace． But in the Song Dynasty, it was popular with almost everyone． Meanwhile, Dian Cha became famous because of its unusual method — ____45____ hot water with the powdered tea and then keep hitting by hand with a bamboo stick． Matcha most people like today is also made in a ____46____ way．

Han Zheming, one of the inheritors (传承人), has made great contributions． He thinks people surely prefer the tea with more charm and a stronger sense of occasion to the common one． So he has introduced it to the ____47____ through social media platforms these years． Now, more people know Dian Cha and their reactions are beyond what he expected． With his love of Dian Cha, he will ____48____ to work on the spread of this special art． And he is confident of its bright future．

On April 16th, three astronauts of the Shenzhou XIII came back safely after perfectly undertaking (从事) their task in the Tiangong Space Station for six months． Lots of people watched this exciting moment． The next day, China announced it would send its next spaceflight team to the Tiangong Space Station in June．

The Shenzhou XIV team will be made up of three astronauts and they will take off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch (发射) Center in northwestern China in June to the Tiangong and work there for six months, the same time as Shenzhou XIII did． Before the task, the Tianzhou-4 spaceship will be launched in May to transport the things astronauts will use like experimental materials to the Tiangong station．

In July, the space station’s first lab called Wentian, will be sent up and the second lab named Mengtian, in October． Once they are connected with the Tiangong, the station will become complete． Then the Tiangong will have three parts—a main module (舱) with two large space labs． Afterwards, the Tianzhou-5 spaceship and the Shenzhou XV team will get there as planned．

By now Tianzhou-4 are being finally tested in the Wenchang Space Launch Center in Hainan Province． At the same time, the Shenzhou XIV and XV teams are in “very good condition” and have had a lot of training． Both will stay in space for six months and have spacewalks．

China hopes to launch a large space telescope named Xuntian next year to fly alongside the Tiangong station． Furthermore, Chinese researchers are developing a new spacecraft much better than the Shenzhou series because it will be able to carry seven astronauts and more goods．

China’s space station will become a big family and play a more important role in the study of the space．

2． B
