Village doctors, dubbed “guardians of health”, have played an important role in treating hundreds of millions of farmers. Xu Qiusheng , 81, often looks out of the window of his clinic (诊所) when he is not with a patient (病人), as he feels relief when looking up at an old camphor tree that stays green all year round.
Over half a century has passed since Xu graduated from medical school and started working as a village doctor in Yangfang village, in East China’s Jiangxi province.
“ Three generations of my family, my parents, and my grandchildren all come to Uncle Xu for treatment,” says Chen Donggen, who took his feverish granddaughter to Xu’s clinic. After briefly inquiring (询问) about the little girl’ condition, Xu took out a very thin needle and gently inserted the needle into the skin of both her hands and head.
The kind of treatment is the most commonly used way to treat pain in traditional Chinese medicine. Xu has used the set of silver needles for decades to help villagers relieve (缓解) discomfort.
Xu says that treatment and medicine are usually free for villagers facing financial difficulties. He allows them to pay later though living frugal (节俭的) himself.
Ahead of this Spring Festival , Xu together with his daughter , who returned to the village and followed in his footsteps, went door to door visiting the elderly. The health of more than 1,400 villagers in Yangfang has become the responsibility for rural doctors like Xu and his daughter.
“ I see my patients as my family members, and I hope the next generations of doctors in rural areas can continue to be the guardians of villagers,” Xu says.

Mars is the fourth planet from the sun. It is home to both the highest mountain and the deepest, longest valley (山谷) in the solar system (太阳系). Olympus Mons, the highest mountain on Mars, is about 27 kilometers high, about three times as tall as Qomolangma. And the deepest valley on Mars reaches as deep as 10 kilometers and runs through east to west for about 4,000 kilometers, about one fifth of the distance around Mars and close to the width of Australia.
Mars is much colder than Earth because it’s farther away from the sun. The highest temperature can reach 20℃ while the lowest can be as low as -140℃. Just like Earth, the sun gives Mars seasons. However, the seasons that Mars experiences are more extreme than Earth’s. For example, when Mars is farthest from the sun, the southern part of Mars experiences a very long and cold winter, about six months on Earth.
Mars lies farther from the sun than Earth does, so the red planet has a longer year—687 days compared to 365 for our home world. However, the two planets have similar day lengths, 24 hours and 40 minutes for Mars and 24 hours for Earth.
Mars is far from an easy planet to reach but many countries like the USA, Russia, China and Japan are always trying to send people there. Robots have got the tickets to Mars and it’s believed that humans will get the tickets by the 2030s, although it is still a big challenge now. And scientists say it will take at least six months for people to travel to Mars.

【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据“It is home to both the highest mountain and the deepest, longest valley in the solar system. Olympus Mons, the highest mountain on Mars, is about 27 kilometers high,...”可知,火星上有太阳系中最高的山脉,即Olympus Mons,高约27公里。故选B。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“Mars is much colder than Earth because it’s farther away from the sun. The highest temperature can reach 20℃ while the lowest can be as low as -140℃...However, the seasons that Mars experiences are more extreme than Earth’s.”可知,火星比地球冷得多,最高可达20℃,最低可达-140℃,即火星经历的季节比地球更极端,可推测extreme表示“极端的”,A选项“严重的”与其意思相符。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Mars lies farther from the sun than Earth does, so the red planet has a longer year...”可知,火星比地球离太阳更远,因此这颗红色星球的年份更长,即火星的年份比地球长,因为火星离太阳更远。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Just like Earth, the sun gives Mars seasons...Mars is far from an easy planet to reach but many countries like the USA, Russia, China and Japan are always trying to send people there. Robots have got the tickets to Mars and it’s believed that humans will get the tickets by the 2030s, although it is still a big challenge now. And scientists say it will take at least six months for people to travel to Mars.”可知,太阳给了火星四季,即火星上有四季;火星远不是一个容易到达的星球,机器人已经获得了前往火星的门票,人们相信人类将在2030年代获得门票,尽管现在这仍然是一个巨大的挑战,可推测C选项“从地球到火星有很长的路要走。”与文章相符。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文可知,文章主要介绍了火星的情况以及火星与地球的比较,即关于火星的真实情况。故选A。

____18____ Perhaps you and your parents disagree with each other. You should try your best to understand them. For example, Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it, but in the end, they came to a compromise (和解). Michael bought the motorcycle, but he could only ride it on certain days.
Of course, your parents may refuse to compromise on something. If so, it is especially important to show your respect to them. ____19____
Talk about your values. Your parents’ values are probably different from yours. ____20____. Knowing your values may help them understand you better.
A good relationship with your parents can help you become a better and happier person. It is worth trying!

The Book Gives Me a Sweet Memory
The book Harry Potter gives me a sweet memory.When I was in the seventh grade, I began to read the Harry Potter series. It brought me to a magical world that I had never known before. I was deeply attracted by the characters, their adventures, and the themes of friendship and courage.
One particular memory that stands out is when I finished reading the final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I remember the feelings of sadness and satisfaction as I closed the book for the last time. It was like saying goodbye to old friends, but also knowing that their story had come to a satisfying end.
All in all, the Harry Potter series has given me many sweet memories. It has taught me the power of imagination, the importance of friendship, and the thrill of discovering new worlds.

Village doctors, dubbed “guardians of health”, have played an important role in treating hundreds of millions of farmers. Xu Qiusheng , 81, often looks out of the window of his clinic (诊所) when he is not with a patient (病人), as he feels relief when looking up at an old camphor tree that stays green all year round.
Over half a century has passed since Xu graduated from medical school and started working as a village doctor in Yangfang village, in East China’s Jiangxi province.
“ Three generations of my family, my parents, and my grandchildren all come to Uncle Xu for treatment,” says Chen Donggen, who took his feverish granddaughter to Xu’s clinic. After briefly inquiring (询问) about the little girl’ condition, Xu took out a very thin needle and gently inserted the needle into the skin of both her hands and head.
The kind of treatment is the most commonly used way to treat pain in traditional Chinese medicine. Xu has used the set of silver needles for decades to help villagers relieve (缓解) discomfort.
Xu says that treatment and medicine are usually free for villagers facing financial difficulties. He allows them to pay later though living frugal (节俭的) himself.
Ahead of this Spring Festival , Xu together with his daughter , who returned to the village and followed in his footsteps, went door to door visiting the elderly. The health of more than 1,400 villagers in Yangfang has become the responsibility for rural doctors like Xu and his daughter.
“ I see my patients as my family members, and I hope the next generations of doctors in rural areas can continue to be the guardians of villagers,” Xu says.

Mars is the fourth planet from the sun. It is home to both the highest mountain and the deepest, longest valley (山谷) in the solar system (太阳系). Olympus Mons, the highest mountain on Mars, is about 27 kilometers high, about three times as tall as Qomolangma. And the deepest valley on Mars reaches as deep as 10 kilometers and runs through east to west for about 4,000 kilometers, about one fifth of the distance around Mars and close to the width of Australia.
Mars is much colder than Earth because it’s farther away from the sun. The highest temperature can reach 20℃ while the lowest can be as low as -140℃. Just like Earth, the sun gives Mars seasons. However, the seasons that Mars experiences are more extreme than Earth’s. For example, when Mars is farthest from the sun, the southern part of Mars experiences a very long and cold winter, about six months on Earth.
Mars lies farther from the sun than Earth does, so the red planet has a longer year—687 days compared to 365 for our home world. However, the two planets have similar day lengths, 24 hours and 40 minutes for Mars and 24 hours for Earth.
Mars is far from an easy planet to reach but many countries like the USA Russia, China and Japan are always trying to send people there. Robots have got the tickets to Mars and it’s believed that humans will get the tickets by the 2030s, although it is still a big challenge now. And scientists say it will take at least six months for people to travel to Mars.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
11. The height of the highest mountain in the solar system is ________.
A. 10 kilometers B. 27 kilometers C. 800 kilometers D. 4,000 kilometers

A. Serious. B. Impossible. C. Beautiful. D. Peaceful.

There are usually some problems between children and parents. Some people think that only school children often disagree with their parents. However, I don’t think so. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. ____16____
Don’t argue with your parents. ____17____ Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you shout at them. Also, you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go to a place to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at that moment, you can write a letter instead.
____18____ Perhaps you and your parents disagree with each other. You should try your best to understand them. For example, Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it, but in the end, they came to a compromise (和解). Michael bought the motorcycle, but he could only ride it on certain days.
Of course, your parents may refuse to compromise on something. If so, it is especially important to show your respect to them. ____19____
Talk about your values. Your parents’ values are probably different from yours. ____20____. Knowing your values may help them understand you better.
A good relationship with your parents can help you become a better and happier person. It is worth trying!
