I had many heart-warming memories. The most unforgettable part for me was climbing the “Graduation Wall”, a 4.2-meter wooden wall we had to climb without any 31 . There were no ropes and no ladders （梯子）. As the sun rose and the sunlight shone brightly on the brown wall, the 32 began with a countdown （倒计时）. At the beginning, the boys climbed so 33 that they made me feel less scared of the wall. However, after I saw a girl climbed halfway and nearly fell down, my feeling of 34 became stronger as I imagined her possible fall. Finally, it was my 35 . My heart raced and I was more scared. Shaking slightly, I was 36 to step on my classmates’ knees and shoulders, because I was worried that my dirty shoes would get their clothes dirty. Then, the boy 37 called out, “Just step on my shoulder!” as if he sensed my unwillingness. Saying sorry in my mind, I 38 put my feet on his shoulder, though I was driven by the supportive spirit of my classmates. To my surprise, the following climb was not as 39 as I imagined. I didn't know clearly whose hand I was holding, I was quickly 40 up, and my legs followed. It was only a few seconds 41 I was on the top of the wall and looked from my new point on the platform （站台）.I had risen above the terrible height of 4.2meters that had seemed impossible before. How amazing! As it turned out, our class 42 the challenge in just 16 minutes! However, it was not the exciting time that influenced me most, but rather the strong 43 : Everyone’ s eyes looked at the climber, and every hand was 44 warmly to protect the climber. The sight of reddened shoulders and sweaty （汗湿的） hands, with words of encouragement and cheers, made me realize that it was our team spirit that helped us work closely and 45 a deep sense of achievement. Everyone in my class excitedly cheered for our success and even the brown “Graduation Wall” turned orange in the sunlight! 31. A. help B. courage C. tools D. efforts 32.

Here comes this month's School Brain Game. We' re going to talk about what you would like to invent （发明）. Let your imagination run wild and post（发布） your ideas below. —Andrew, Student Union President Students have a lot of homework. They often go to bed late and wake up early for school. I'd like to invent a machine to help you _____________ in the morning without waking you up. It would carefully pick you up, take you to the bathroom and brush your teeth. It would get you dressed and set you down at the dining room table. Then it would gently wake you for breakfast. You'd go to school on time while still getting a good night's sleep! —Michelle, from Grade 9 I'd invent a time machine that could take us to any day in history. We would finally be able to answer questions like “What killed all the dinosaurs?” Just think how different life would be if every question about history could be answered. We would know almost everything. And we could visit the past or the future to see how humans have changed. Imagine visiting your ancestors（祖先）! Imagine going to the future to tell people about life in the past! Just think about all that fun! —Troy, from Grade 8 A flying car! You could go anywhere you wanted. It could prevent traffic jams（堵塞） during rush hour. We wouldn't have to build so many highways. There would be more space to plant trees. The air would be cleaner and fresher. My flying car would be powered by solar energy （太阳能）. We could save the Earth and all the plants and animals, too. —Rebecca, from Grade 7 Share your thoughts... send cancel 46.

However, it's not enough to simply keep an extinguisher somewhere. The best way to be ready for a fire is to study this guide carefully and go over it often. {1} Have a clear exit route（路线） Before operating the fire extinguisher, make sure you have a clear exit route. If you cannot put out the fire, you will need to make a safe exit. Also, make sure everyone else is out. {2} Call the fire department（消防部门） Even if the fire seems manageable, you should always have the fire department on the way. Once the firemen arrive, they can double-check to see if the fire has been completely put out. {3} Stand back Face the fire and keep your back to the clear exit. You should stay between 1.8 and 2.5 meters away from the fire as you prepare to operate the fire extinguisher. {4} Operate the extinguisher It can be difficult to think clearly during a fire. One method to help you remember how to operate an extinguisher is to remember the four steps of “PASS” progress（过程）. ●P— Pull. ●A— Aim. ●S— Squeeze. ●S— Sweep. {5} Keep an eye on things After the fire seems to be out, continue to watch the fire area to make sure it doesn't start burning again. If the fire does start up again, repeat the “PASS” process. {6} Get to a safe place Once the fire is out, or if you are unable to put it out, leave the scene. Find a place out of reach of the fire. 51. By writing this guide, the writer mainly wants to _________. A. show us how to prevent a fire B. tell us what to do when there is a fire C. teach us how to use a fire extinguisher D. share with us his experience of putting out a fire 52. We should call the fire department even if the fire seems manageable because the firemen can help us make sure _________.

The following pictures show the four steps of the “PASS” process. Which is their correct order? A.①②③④ B.④①③② C.②③④① D.④②①③ 54. When we are unable to put out the fire, we should _________.

A college student who is interested in the machine design. B A middle school student who wants to know about survival skills. C. A teacher who would like to make a speech about environmental protection. D. A primary school student who knows nothing about the danger of playing with fire. C I once thought I had superpower in my senior year of high school. I was living with my grandparents at that time. My grandparents had recently been out of work. While they'd managed to save money to buy a house, they didn't have enough money for living cost. ① So, my grandfather took a job as doorkeeper of the Java school building. Keeping the whole building clean was a stressful job for an old man. Realizing this, I began helping him after school, sweeping rooms and emptying waste baskets, for a small payment. ② When winter arrived, he fired up the school's furnace（火炉）. He quickly realized how difficult it had become for him to shovel （铲） the huge pile of coal to fill in the furnace. I volunteered to take on that job, a promise that required me to get up an hour earlier each morning. I'd go over to the school, and shovel a half ton of coal, enough to keep the fire burning for 24 hours. After finishing that task, I'd return home, change clothes, and eat breakfast. Then I'd rush back to school, always at the last minute. ③ On two mornings, at the very moment I stepped onto the sidewalk （人行道） in front of the school, the first bell rang. That was the signal （信号）） for students to go to class. This surprising coincidence caused me to improve my action. I carefully planned each step of my morning activity. I sped myself. Often I'd step onto the school's sidewalk just as the first bell rang. This effort gave me a huge sense of achievement— and some strange feelings. ④ Twenty years later, at a school get-together, I happened to meet Harold Spiry, the head teacher, who had been in control of ringing the bell by pushing a button （按钮） in his office. I couldn't stop talking about my superpower. I told Mr Spiry about how I had kept my difficult morning work in good order, how my timing had been perfect. “Oh that,” he said. “Do you remember my office windows? I used to look out through the windows. I often saw you coming. And when you hit the sidewalk, I'd ring the bell.” 56. Why did the writer's grandfather work as a doorkeeper after he was out of work? A. Because he needed the job to support the family. B. Because he was interested in working for extra hours. C. Because he wanted to stay close to his grandson at school. D. Because he found he could be well paid by taking on the job. 57. The sentence “It was during those morning rushes to school that I discovered my superpower.” should be put in __________. A.① B.② C.③ D.④ 58. What does the underlined word “coincidence” mean in Paragraph 4? A.巧合 B.举措 C.业绩 D.表现 59. How would the writer feel after hearing what Harold Spiry said? A. Proud. B. Surprised. C. Relaxed. D. Calm. 60. What message does the writer's story express? A. Our dream can be realized through hard work. B. Personal superpower brings people joy and success. C. Careful plans lead to the development of special skills. D. Our achievements are often supported by unseen kindness. D ①Free time is rare in modern life. Just look around you. Aren't the adults all busy with something? But why is that? ②Imagine yourself as a busy office worker. Now, you have a set of technology （技术）. It could make every part of your job easier. What would you do with all that extra time? Well, you would probably work the same amount （数量） of time as before, or even more. You doubt about this, don't you? But in fact, something similar happened in the U. S. in the 20th century —not in factories or offices, but in homes. ③American homes in the early 1900s weren't much different from those in the 1500s. There was no electricity （电）. Most families had no water pipes. Family members had to carry every drop of water in and out of the house. ④Over the following years, many new appliances （家用电器） were made to save people's time. Modem toilets, fridges and washing machines made their way into more and more homes. However, none of them saved hours of work. In the 1920s, full-time housewives spent 51 hours a week doing housework. In the 1960s, they were working 53 hours. ⑤This may seem surprising, but the reasons are simple. Better technology leads to higher expectations（预期）, and higher expectations create more work. For example, before modern technology, most people washed their clothes only twice a year. Bad smell was unavoidable. Washing machines changed that. People began washing their clothes more often. And because it was easier to wash the clothes, people bought more shirts and dresses. As a result, housewives found themselves washing and drying more clothes. ⑥Technology has cut down the time it takes to cook a meal or wash a shirt. But it has also saved time for other housework, especially childcare. Since the 1980s, American parents have nearly doubled the amount of time they spend raising, teaching and driving their kids around town. ⑦Most of us can make our lives easier with modern technology. But instead of enjoying more rest time, we often find ourselves working more towards a better life. Without big changes in society's expectations, people will take on more work and never feel like enough. 61. To support his ideas, the writer mostly discussed American ____________ in the 20th century. A. factory life B. office life C. school life D. home life 62. The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 5 refers to（指）“___________”. A. people seldom washing their clothes B. people buying more shirts and dresses C. people spending much time washing clothes D. housewives washing all of the family's clothes 63. How has the time American parents spend on childcare changed since the 1980s? A. It has dropped. B. It has nearly doubled. C. It has slightly risen. D. It has stayed about the same. 64. Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? A.①/②/③④⑤⑥/⑦ B.①/②③④⑤/⑥/⑦ C.①②③④/⑤⑥/⑦ D.①②③/④⑤⑥/⑦ 65. What's the best title of this article? A. More technology, less work! B. More technology, less work? C. The technology behind less work D. The technology behind more work 第二部分 非选择题（65分） 五、任务型阅读 阅读下面的短文，并根据所读内容，在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。（注意：每个空格只填一个单词）（本题共10小题；每题1.5分，满分15分） Coldplay, a famous rock band（乐队） in England, cares a lot about the Earth and has done a lot to protect the environment. Take the band's 2022 world tour as an example. They encouraged their fans to travel to the shows by bus or on foot. At the shows, the band set up special bikes and dance floors. The fans could produce electricity （电能） by riding the bikes or dancing on the floors on their own. This year, Coldplay is continuing to go green. The band released （发行）its tenth album（专辑)，Moon Music, on October 4. The records（唱片）are made from plastic waste. Coldplay has worked closely with Ocean Cleanup to make these records. The Dutch（荷兰的）group uses large fences （围栏）and special boats to clean up plastic waste in rivers and oceans. It puts the fences in many different rivers. The fences let the water flow through and stop the rubbish at the same time. Coldplay supports Ocean Cleanup's work. It often donates money to Ocean Cleanup. What kind of plastic waste makes good records? The group uses PET, a high-quality plastic. The plastic waste has to be very clean. Ocean Cleanup collects plastic waste from the river Rio Las Vacas, because it meets their needs. The plastic waste is separated and mixed, Then, it is tested and used to make the records. These records have good sound quality. Each record is about 140 grams in weight. One record is made from nine old PET plastic bottles.

Two teams of eleven attack in opposite 76 （direct）. Both try to score more goals. But that's not always how football was played. People have played “football” since thousands of years ago.

One team would score 78 the other let the ball fall to the ground. During the Warring States period, cuju was a form of having fun.

Common people started to play it. Quite a few became the “Messis” of that time. Gao Qiu, 82 character in Water Margin （《水浒传》）, shows us how important cuju was at that time. He managed to catch the attention of Song Huizong by being a good cuju player and 83 （give） the position of Grand Marshal（太尉）. Cuju began disappearing during the Ming Dynasty. Today, it is mainly used 84 a tool for cultural exchange.

Though I worked hard at it, I still couldn’t make progress. Last term, I failed an important English exam. Looking at the low mark, I simply couldn’t believe my eyes. After I failed, my deskmate gave me a helping hand. He offered me encouragement and shared his study tips with me. With his help, I realized that my learning methods needed improving. So I began to go over what I learned more often. Also, I try to build up my sense of English language by speaking, reading and writing in English. In this way, I’m better at English and become more confident. This experience reminded me that failures are chances for us to learn and grow. Only if we learn from failures, can we become better. (138 words) After I failed It is common to meet with failures during our growth. I’m a fan of football. Last term, I tried out for the school football team, but I was refused just because I was not strong enough. After I failed, I felt so sad that I almost lost confidence in myself. My father noticed that. He encouraged me to keep trying and advised me to take more exercise every day. With his support, I became more confident. I kept running for half an hour every day. Besides, I practised football even harder. What’s more, I no longer ate junk food. Instead, I had more vegetables, fruit and milk. As a result, I became much stronger and joined the school football team this month. This experience teaches me that if we are confident and practise hard enough, we will succeed one day.

May I have your attention, please? In order to make our school life more colourful, we’ve invited Jack Liu, a famous speaker, to give us a speech on the history of our city. Since you’ve learned something about it in class, I believe you’ll find it interesting. The speech will start at two o’clock this Friday afternoon in the school hall. After the speech, there will be an English movie. It’s about the Second World War. You’re sure to enjoy it. Please be there on time. That’s all. Thank you. 听第二篇短文，回答第16-20小题。 My name is Bill. I live in a small village on the top of a hill. Life can be difficult. We don’t have any main roads. This makes it difficult to send items to local shops. Also, my friends find it hard to visit me. I own a car, but I seldom use it. I work in a bookshop in a town at the bottom of the hill. I often cycle to work. Sometimes I even run. I used to find this boring, but now I enjoy the exercise. I’m much healthier now. In fact, we all are. A newspaper did an interview with us the other day, and we were once voted the healthiest village in the country. No one in the village has had a day off work for eight years. I believe that this is because we all walk, run or cycle instead of using our cars. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
