As a result, about 300 million children around the world go barefoot. Those children risk picking up diseases and parasites(寄生虫) from the soil.An American man may have a solution for those barefoot kidsa shoe that grows with the child. Kenton Lee is the creator of The Shoe That Grows. He explains how the shoe works and how it is able to last so long.“It grows in three places: the front; it can also grow on the side with Velcro; and on the back with our buckle(锁扣). It can last up to five years. The bottom is compressed(压缩的) rubber like tire rubber. The top is just high-quality leather.” The shoe comes in two sizes: small that fits children aged 4 to 9 and large for children aged 9 to 14.Lee says he got the idea for the shoe while working as a volunteer in an orphanage in Kenya.“.and there was a little girl in a white dress walking next to me. And I just remember looking down and seeing how small her shoes were. They were so small that she had to cut open the front of her shoes to let her toes stick out. And I just remember thinking, “Wouldnt it be nice if there were a pair of shoes that could grow with her feet?”However, Lee says it was not easy to turn his idea into a reality. “I kept writing down I should do this because of this or because of that.” Finally, in 2020 Lee founded a non-profit organization called Because International. In the office of Because International, Lee keeps a pair of his own shoes to help him remember his promise. “I told myself I would not get new shoes until the idea was done. So, those are the shoes that I wore for a little over five years.”25. Which of the following is the characteristic of the newly invented shoes?A. They are more expensive.B.

On the whole，Xiling Gorge is dangerous for its shallow shores and rapid currents. However，Yichang is regarded by most people as the best start point to tour the Three Gorges.32The Yangtze River is important to Chinese people, mainly because Ait extends its way from the west to the east of ChinaBthe ancient Chinese civilization began hereCthe scenery on both sides is very beautifulDthe Three Gorges are located on it33We can see the Three Gorges Aon QinghaiTibet Plateau B.in Hubei Province C.in Sichuan Province D.both B and C34According to the passage，which of the following statements is NOT true?AThe Three Gorges have a total length of 193 kilometers.BThe shapes of the Three Gorges are like sandwiches.CThe Three Gorges are famous for beautiful scenery and relics.DThe Xiling Gorge is very dangerous for ships to sail.35As a tourist，youd better go to to start your trip to the Three Gorges.ANanjinguan BWushan CBadong DZigui第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Before there was the written word，there was the language of dance.Dance expresses love and hate，joy and sorrow，life and death，and everything else in between.36 We dance from Florida to Alaska，from north to south and sea to sea.We dance at weddings，birthdays，office parties and just to fill the time.“I adore dancing，”says Lester Bridges，the owner of a dance studio in Iowa.“I cant imagine doing anything else with my life.”Bridges runs dance classes for all ages.“Teaching dance is wonderful. 37 Its great to watch them.For many of them，its a way of meeting people and having a social life.”38 “I can tell you about one young couple，”says Bridges.“Theyre learning to do traditional dances.They arrive at the class in low spirits and they leave with a smile. 39 ”So，do we dance in order to make ourselves feel better，calmer，healthier？Andrea Hillier says，“Dance，like the pattern of a beating heart，is life.Even after all these years，I want to get better and better. 40 I find it hard to stop！Dancing reminds me Im alive.”ASo why do we dance?BDance in the US.is everywhere.CIf you like dancing outdoors，come to America.DMy older students say it makes them feel young.EI keep practicing even when Im extremely tired.FDancing seems to change their feeling completely.GThey stayed up all night long singing and dancing.第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。It may be difficult to understand nonverbal messages because different cultures have different expectations about eye contact，physical 41 ，etc.Lets consider eye contact.Children from many Latin American and Asian 42 show respect by avoiding the glance of important persons.A teacher whos 43 with this，however，might consider the lack of eye contact as a sign of 44 For many American Indian children， 45 a teacher in the eye and answering her question in front of the class is “showing off”Culture greatly 46 attitudes towards physical contact，whether its a handshake，hug，or pat on the back.In Asia，female friends 47 hold hands and men casually(随便地) hug one another as they walk down the street.Americans，however，may feel 48 with such public behavior.In some Asian cultures，affectionately patting a(n) 49 head is strictly taboo(禁忌的)， 50 it can be acceptable behavior between adults and young children.How 51 should people stand to each other when theyre having a conversation?
