Luckily, the students and teachers helped save his life. On September 30th, 2022, during a game of basketball, something went wrong with the teacher. “He threw the ball to us and then we turned around. We found he was just falling back and then fell on the ground,” said student Bob Smith. Charlie Burch, who was having a class next door, was the first to respond (反应). “All of a sudden I heard someone shouting and students running down the hall,” Burch said. “Some students ran in my room and said ‘Something happened to Mr. Holiday.’” Amy Robinson, a CPR (心肺复苏) trainer, came second. “I started to use the AED (自动体外除颤器),” she said. But she and the other teachers—all trained in CPR—knew it wasn’t good. “To be honest, Mr. Holiday did not look good,” Amy Robinson said. “There were no signs of life from him.” However, the teachers and students didn’t give up. They followed Amy Robinson and tried their best to practice CPR on Holiday. It took them 21 minutes of continuous (连续的) CPR to save Holiday’s life. Thanks to those fast-thinking students and persistent teachers, Holiday could finally tell his story. Holiday didn’t remember the week before or after his heart attack—just waking up in the hospital. “I’m thankful that so many people didn’t give up on me,” he said. He added that his doctors were also amazed by his story. “Even if it gets hard, don’t give up. I think that’s the lesson here,” Holiday said. “Just as I said before, some people kept my heart beating. Let’s put it that way.” And that day changed the life of everyone present (在场的). “He tells us the truth about life,” a student said. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 41.

We found he was just falling back and then fell on the ground,’”可知，学生们正在打篮球比赛。故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Amy Robinson, a CPR (心肺复苏) trainer, came second. ‘I started to use the AED (自动体外除颤器),’ she said.”可知，Amy Robinson首先给Frank Holiday做心肺复苏。故选C。 【43题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“However, the teachers and students didn’t give up. They followed Amy Robinson and tried their best to practice CPR on Holiday. It took them 21 minutes of continuous (连续的) CPR to save Holiday’s life.”可知，老师和学生们都没有放弃，他们持续做了21分钟的心肺复苏来挽救Holiday的生命，由此可推知划线单词表示“尽管很难，但还是继续做某事很长时间”。故选D。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Charlie Burch, who was having a class next door, was the first to respond (反应). ‘All of a sudden I heard someone shouting and students running down the hall,’ ... Some students ran in my room and said ‘Something happened to Mr. Holiday.’”可知，首先是学生跑进Charlie Burch的教室以寻求帮助，然后Charlie Burch对此首先作出了反应；根据“Robinson and tried their best to practice CPR on Holiday.”可知，紧接着老师们对Holidday进行心肺复苏；根据“Holiday didn’t remember the week before or after his heart attack—just waking up in the hospital.”可知，最后Holiday被送往了医院。因此正确的顺序为②④③①。故选C。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Even if it gets hard, don’t give up.

This makes him the world’s oldest living land animal. In fact, Jonathan is probably older than 190. In 1882, Sir William Grey-Wilson, governor (州长) of the island, got him as a gift. At that time, Jonathan was already an adult. Since it takes more than 50 years for a turtle to become an adult, animal experts say Jonathan must have been born before 1832. So his birthday was set on December 4th, 1832. In 1890 Sir Grey-Wilson became the governor of this island. He took Jonathan with him to live at the governor’s home, called Plantation House. Since then, over 30 other governors have come and gone from Plantation House. But Jonathan has stayed. And now he shares his home with three other turtles. It is hard to understand how much the world has changed in the past 190 years. Jonathan was born before the Internet, computers, TVs, radios and telephones. He was born before global (全球) warming began and before plastic (塑料) was invented. But Jonathan’s interests do not change. He loves sleeping and eating. He likes to warm himself by sleeping in the sun. When the weather gets cold, he digs himself into grass to keep warm. Though Jonathan is still very active, he does have some health problems. He is blind and cannot smell, so people need to feed him by hand. But he can hear well. And he eats a lot. He eats a lot of vegetables and fruits, including cabbage and carrots, as well as apples and bananas. Scientists have even studied Jonathan to get health reasons from his eating and cells (细胞). His cells do not mutate (突变) the same way human cells do. Scientists also hope to find some secrets to fighting cancer (癌症) in humans. 根据短文内容，判断句子正（T）、误（F）。 46. Jonathan’s correct date of birth stays unknown. 47. From Paragraph 3 we know it takes a turtle more than 50 years to become an adult. 48. When Jonathan was born, people had invented TVs, radios and telephones. 49. Jonathan has some health problems and he may die soon. 50 Scientists have found out the secrets to fighting cancer from Jonathan. 【答案】46. T 47. T 48. F 49. F 50. F 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了世界上年龄最大的陆地动物——南大西洋圣赫勒拿岛上的乌龟乔纳森。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In fact, Jonathan is probably older than 190.”及“animal experts say Jonathan must have been born before 1832”可知，乔纳森确切的出生日期仍然未知，故答案为T。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Since it takes more than 50 years for a turtle to become an adult”可知，乌龟需要50多年的时间才能成年，故答案为T。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Jonathan was born before the Internet, computers, TVs, radios and telephones.”可知，乔纳森出生在互联网、电脑、电视、收音机和电话出现之前，故答案为F。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据“he does have some health problems ... But he can hear well. And he eats a lot. He eats a lot of vegetables and fruits, including cabbage and carrots, as well as apples and bananas.”可知，乔纳森虽然身体有些问题，但是听觉和胃口都很好，由此可推知，他不会很快死去，故答案为F。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Scientists also hope to find some secrets to fighting cancer (癌症) in humans.”可知，科学家们希望从乔纳森身上找到对抗癌症的秘诀，故答案为F。 (D) Tornado is a natural disaster (灾害). Every year in the U.

(B) Frank Holiday, a teacher at North Point High School, had a heart attack (心脏病发作) during a class in September. Luckily, the students and teachers helped save his life. On September 30th, 2022, during a game of basketball, something went wrong with the teacher. “He threw the ball to us and then we turned around. We found he was just falling back and then fell on the ground,” said student Bob Smith. Charlie Burch, who was having a class next door, was the first to respond (反应). “All of a sudden I heard someone shouting and students running down the hall,” Burch said. “Some students ran in my room and said ‘Something happened to Mr. Holiday.’” Amy Robinson, a CPR (心肺复苏) trainer, came second. “I started to use the AED (自动体外除颤器),” she said. But she and the other teachers—all trained in CPR—knew it wasn’t good. “To be honest, Mr. Holiday did not look good,” Amy Robinson said. “There were no signs of life from him.” However, the teachers and students didn’t give up. They followed Amy Robinson and tried their best to practice CPR on Holiday. It took them 21 minutes of continuous (连续的) CPR to save Holiday’s life. Thanks to those fast-thinking students and persistent teachers, Holiday could finally tell his story. Holiday didn’t remember the week before or after his heart attack—just waking up in the hospital. “I’m thankful that so many people didn’t give up on me,” he said. He added that his doctors were also amazed by his story. “Even if it gets hard, don’t give up. I think that’s the lesson here,” Holiday said. “Just as I said before, some people kept my heart beating. Let’s put it that way.” And that day changed the life of everyone present (在场的). “He tells us the truth about life,” a student said. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 41.

(C) Jonathan, a turtle on the island of Saint Helena in the South Atlantic, turned 190 years old. This makes him the world’s oldest living land animal. In fact, Jonathan is probably older than 190. In 1882, Sir William Grey-Wilson, governor (州长) of the island, got him as a gift. At that time, Jonathan was already an adult. Since it takes more than 50 years for a turtle to become an adult, animal experts say Jonathan must have been born before 1832. So his birthday was set on December 4th, 1832. In 1890, Sir Grey-Wilson became the governor of this island. He took Jonathan with him to live at the governor’s home, called Plantation House. Since then, over 30 other governors have come and gone from Plantation House. But Jonathan has stayed. And now he shares his home with three other turtles. It is hard to understand how much the world has changed in the past 190 years. Jonathan was born before the Internet, computers, TVs, radios and telephones. He was born before global (全球) warming began and before plastic (塑料) was invented. But Jonathan’s interests do not change. He loves sleeping and eating. He likes to warm himself by sleeping in the sun. When the weather gets cold, he digs himself into grass to keep warm. Though Jonathan is still very active, he does have some health problems. He is blind and cannot smell, so people need to feed him by hand. But he can hear well. And he eats a lot. He eats a lot of vegetables and fruits, including cabbage and carrots, as well as apples and bananas. Scientists have even studied Jonathan to get health reasons from his eating and cells (细胞). His cells do not mutate (突变) the same way human cells do. Scientists also hope to find some secrets to fighting cancer (癌症) in humans. 根据短文内容，判断句子正（T）、误（F）。 46. Jonathan’s correct date of birth stays unknown. 47. From Paragraph 3 we know it takes a turtle more than 50 years to become an adult. 48. When Jonathan was born, people had invented TVs, radios and telephones. 49. Jonathan has some health problems and he may die soon. 50. Scientists have found out the secrets to fighting cancer from Jonathan. (D) Tornado is a natural disaster (灾害). Every year in the U. S, there are about 500 tornadoes from Texas through Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa and into South Dakota. ___51___ The “tornado season” is usually in spring, but the people in Tornado Alley are always ready for them and they always listen to the news. When the warnings come, people follow their disaster plans. ___52___ At home, the best place is the basement (地下室). If there is no basement, a room without windows like the bathroom is also a safe place. “___53___ That makes us get ready and won’t feel afraid when there’s a tornado,” says Tiffany Taylor, a high school student from Texas. “There’s no basement at my school, so we usually go to the hallways on the lowest floors. Of course, we never sit near the windows.” ___54___ Then they check the buildings and the area for damage (破坏). And usually there is a lot of damage! In China, we are not so often troubled by tornadoes, but we do have disasters like earthquakes, or an unexpected fire. It is important to know how to keep us safe when a natural disaster happens. ___55___ For example, we’d better keep disaster plans in mind and practice often. 从下面选择恰当的选项补全短文，使文章内容完整、通顺。 A. At school, we often have practice. B. They find somewhere safe to stay. C. People call this area “Tornado Alley”. D. Remember: to stay safe, we should get well prepared. E. After the tornado, people first check to see if it is safe to go out. (E) Sagarika Sriram was 10 years old when she started reading newspaper stories. One story was about sharks.

Its goal is to fight climate (气候) change. It has brought together nearly 10,000 youths who came from all over the world. Kids for a Better World is for people aged 8 to 16 and teaches them about what they can do to deal with climate change, such as growing food, planting trees or collecting old things. “This is the information which can help change our future,” Sagarika says. Dubai is a desert city. Growing up there has made Sagarika understand the need for action. Her city is facing the risks of rising temperatures and less water. She believes young people can bring attention to these environmental challenges. Though what Sagarika does is all about small actions, she has big plans. She’d like to go to college in California. While staying there, she’ll continue being an activist (活动家). She’ll also be running Kids for a Better World. She dreams of encouraging more people to fight for a greener planet. 根据文章内容，回答下列问题。 56.
