According to the Chinese Athletics Association,a total of 133 marathons across the country have been registered for the first six months of the year.On March 26,more than 300,000 runners took part in 26 marathon events nationwide,reported China Daily. Teenagers have also taken part in marathons.Xu Qian,a 15-year-old from Suqian,Jiangsu,loves running. He got first place in the 5-kilometer Happy Run of the Jingdong Sugian Marathon held on April 2. For Xu,the race meant months of training and preparation.He runs about 30 to 40 kilometers in local stadiums each week ahead of the run.

"In some years,the Poyang Lake experiences floods,while in others,it experiences droughts.Both of these create food shortages in the cranes'habitat,"Qian Fawen,a researcher from the National Bird Banding Center of China,told China Daily. To help deal with the problem,the local government has built 70 hectares of lotus roots (in Nanchang to provide food during the winter for the cranes.The birds'population has risen from about 3,000 to more than 5,000 over the past 20 years,according to Qian. Over the years,China has worked hard to protect migratory birds and wetlands.Known as the"Earth's kidneys ()"wetlands play a key role in cleaning water,preventing floods,and helping with biodiversity.The Wetlands Protection Law was introduced on June 1,2022.It stops building work on important national wetlands and bans activities such as overgrazing(过度放牧)and giving out wastewater. Thanks to these efforts,China has reported more birds wintering in the nation's wetlands.In February black-faced spoonbills )an endangered species,were seen wintering at Dongting Lake after disappearing for five years.Last December,Shanghai Chongming Dongtan Bird National Nature Reserve recorded more than 2,900 tundra swans up from some 1,000 seen during the winter of 2021. 28.The bird population is rising in Nanchang because A.the city offers more food for birds B.extreme weather hasn't hit the city C.the city becomes increasingly warm D.climate change doesn't affect the place 29.What is the main role wetlands play?

A Migratory birds add biodiversity to China. B.New bird species leave China for winter. C.China has completed its wetlands protection. D.China's environmental protection is successful. A D From the moon to Mars,scientists have been looking for water-the key to life-in the solar system for decades.Recently,.they have turned to Jupiter(木星)！ On April 14,the European Space Agency's(ESA)JUICE spacecraft successfully lifted off from French Guiana in South America.JUICE,short for"Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer",will collect data from Jupiter and its three moons,Europa,Ganymede and Callisto. The three moons are believed to have big oceans of liquid water under their icy shells.According to ESA,the water on these moons could be as much as six times the amount in Earth's oceans.The mission "will change our understanding of the solar system",wrote Scientific American. In 1998,NASA's Galileo spacecraft found that Europa might send water as far as 160 kilometers into space.That gave scientists the idea of studying the icy moons of Jupiter. The oceans under these moons are likely to be tens of kilometers deep.But they are also trapped under tens of kilometers of ice,making it very difficult to study them.Although JUICE cannot land on the surface,it has lots of high-tech equipment to study the moon's environment,including spectral imaging()tools and radar.They could give more data on things like the thickness of the oceans, their salt content,and their distance from the icy shells above,reported Phys.org. The main goal is to understand whether there are habitable(可居住的)environments among those icy moons and around a giant planet like Jupiter,"JUICE team member Olivier Witasse said during a press conference on April 6. 32.What do we know about JUICE? A.It left for Jupiter from the US. B.It got its name from how it looks. C.It will become one of Jupiter's moons. D.It will collect data from Jupiter and its moons. 33.The water on Europa might A.cover a small part of its surface B.all come from its icy shell C.have been thrown into space D.be as much as six times the amount in Earth's oceans 34.Which of the following words can replace the word"trapped"in paragraph 5? A.wandered B.wept C.kept D.declined 35.The JUICE spacecraft was launched mainly to A.find a possible way to solve the water shortage on Earth B.find out if it is possible for life to live on Jupiter's moons C.explore if Jupiter has living things similar to human beings D.test ways of keeping water on Europa,Ganymede and Callisto 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Nowadays with so much news available,many people consume media in an automatic,unconscious state-similar to knowing you drove home but not being able to recall the trip.36.These tips can help you become wiser news consumers. Seek out your own news Like most people,you probably get a fair amount of your news from social media.You should change that.Their goal is to maximize the time you spend on their sites and apps,getting advertising income.That means instead of presenting you with the most important news of the day,social media feed you what will hold your attention.37These organizations actually produce news,usually in the spirit of serving the public interest. Use basic mathematics Untrustworthy news often use some data to make unreal statements.38.For example,a widely spread rumour()falsely declared 10,150 Americans were killed by illegal immigrants in 2019.On the surface,it's hard to know whether it is true,but one way to start is to think about finding out how many total murders there were in the US in 2019. 39 Humans are biased(倾向性的)to believe what's in front of their eyes..Video content is considered more trustworthy-even though some videos can be very misieading.40.Seeing and hearing should not necessarily be believing.Treat video content with just as much doubt as news text,checking any facts with news from a trusted source. A.Watch out for biases B.Believe video conterit C.You'll see a more complete range of information D.Think carefully about how you determine something is true E.Simple mathematical calculations can help you better spot false data F.Therefore,regularly visit trusted news apps and news websites directly G.However,you can develop habits to control your news intake more consciously 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The Kingsport carousel(旋转木马)has horses,,pigs with wings,and even a dragon.It has laughter 41any day that is fit for outings.If the Kingsport Carousel sounds 42,that's because it is.

After the upsetting shock,he remembered the promise he had made to Daniel:"No matter what,I'll always be there for you!"And tears began to fill his eyes.He looked at the pile of ruins that once was the school.Everything looked hopeless,but he kept remembering his commitment to his son.

Some firefighters showed up and tried to pull him off the school's ruins,saying,"Fires are breaking out,and explosions are happening everywhere.You're in danger.We'll take care of it.Just go home!"To which this loving,determined father asked,"Are you going to help me now?"
