I kept everything that everyone else in my family loved but had to 39 the one thing that I loved — a bag of chicken dumplings. That bag pushed the total over my budget（预算）. I felt very 40 about not being able to pay for it but it was necessary. That night, the doorbell rang. It was strange 41 it was very cold and late. I went to the door, opened it, and found bags of food on my front steps. Nobody was there. On the top of the first bag, I saw the bag of chicken dumplings, the same kind I had to put back a few 42 before. I cannot 43 the feeling of learning that even at my loneliest, I wasn’t alone. The feeling that I mattered, and the gratitude（感激之情）I felt. I 44 don’t know who left all that food on my doorstep, but I will never forget that feeling.

Willcook is a heater that can warm a meal in about 20 minutes. The bag has a special material in it, and it uses batteries（电池）to work. It looks and feels like a normal（正常的）bag, and you can wash it. Tesla showed a new video about its human-like robot Optimus Gen 2 on Dec 12th. In the video, Optimus picks up an egg, moves it between its hands, and places it back down. It shows that the robot can now hold and move fragile things. Optimus will one day “help millions of people” with their jobs and lives. Drivers usually wait for a long time for their electric cars to charge（充电）. Now, a road in the US can charge electric cars. When a car or a bus comes near, the coils（线圈）under the road send electricity（电）through a magnetic field（磁场）. The Wind Tree looks like a tree with 36 green “leaves”, but it’s a small wind turbine（涡轮机）. It’s about 5 to 10 meters tall and easy to build.

My classmates and I went to an educational base（基地）. We were told that we needed to cook by ourselves there. So before setting out, we prepared fresh vegetables and meat such as potatoes and pork. Condiments（调味品）like oil and salt were also prepared. When we arrived the next day, we couldn’t believe our eyes. The “kitchen” was so primitive（原始的）! Standing on the grass, we found only a big iron pot on top of a pile of bricks. There was no kitchen hood（抽油烟机）or gas. We needed to make a fire by ourselves. We had never experienced anything like this before. Not surprisingly, we didn’t have good control over the fire. Some students just made uncooked food. I cooked pork. At first, I mistook cooking wine for oil and poured it into the pot. Unbelievable! But luckily, we found out the oil in time. We cleaned the pot and started all over again. There were even more funny mistakes like that. However, we still finished our task. On the way back to school, students talked about this fun experience. We enjoyed the natural beauty and learned some important life skills. I will never forget this trip. 49．They don’t need to prepare ________ before setting out. A．meat B．condiments C．vegetables D．a pot 50．How did they feel after seeing the “kitchen”? A．Sad B．Happy C．Surprised D．Angry 51．What can we infer（推断）from the passage? A．They are very good at cooking.

Then we took it by boat to the Hispaniola. It was a big job for so small a number of men. The three men pirates who were still on the island did not trouble us. They were not going to fight any more, and we decided we must leave them on the island. We left powder, food, clothes and medicine for them. Then at last, one sunny morning, we sailed out of North Inlet and towards the nearest port in Spanish America. Before afternoon, Treasure Island had disappeared from view, and I had never felt happier to leave a place behind. The sun was going down when we sailed into the port, and the doctor and Mr Trelawney took me on shore. When we came back, Ben Gunn was waiting for us. “Silver has gone,” he told us, “but not empty-handed. He’ s taken one of the bags of coins, perhaps worth three or four hundred guineas.” I think we were all pleased to lose the scoundrel at so small a price. We found a crew for the ship at the port, and then had a good voyage home. Only five of the men who had sailed from Bristol with the Hispaniola returned with her. We all took a large piece of the treasure, and some used it sensibly, and some did not. Captain Smollett no longer goes to sea. Gray saved his money and is now half-owner and captain of a fine ship. Ben Gunn got a thousand pounds which he spent or lost in three weeks, then he came begging and was given a job as a gatekeeper. Of Silver we have heard no more. That frightening seaman with one leg has gone out of my life. I will never return to Treasure Island, but in my worst dreams I will hear the sharp, high scream of Captain Flint the parrot: “Piece of eight! Piece of eight” （adapted from Treasure Island） 52．How did they deal with（处理）the three men pirates on the island? A．They took the pirates’ food and clothes.

A．late in the afternoon B．in the evening C．at noon D．in the morning 54．What happened to Silver in the article? A．He was killed by a knife. B．He took some coins and ran away. C．He fell dead into the sea. D．He lost himself on the island. 55．What is their real purpose（目的）for going to Treasure Island? A．To travel around the world. B．To make more friends. C．To look for hidden treasure. D．To understand different culture. D 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有两项为多余选项。 Have you had a headache during a test? Have you ever been so worried about something that you have a headache or even can’t sleep at night? 56 Stress is what you feel when you are worried about something. This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry, sad, scared, or afraid--all of which can give you a stomachache or a headache. 57 Some kinds of stress are good and others are bad. Good stress might happen when you’re called to answer questions in class or when you have to give a speech. 58 For example, you may do a better job on your test if the stress pushes you to prepare better before the test. On the other hand, bad stress can happen if the stress lasts too long. You may not feel well if your parents are fighting, if a family member is sick, if you’ re having problems at school, or if anything else makes you unhappy every day. That kind of stress isn’t going to help you. 59 The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life. Make sure you keep your SELF in mind: 60 If you get enough sleep and eat properly, and if you exercise and leave time for fun, you’ll probably feel less stressed. A．And it can actually make you sick. B．If so, then you should know what stress is. C．This kind of stress can help you to get things better done. D．However, there are different kinds of stress. E．In other words, we make our own happiness. F．Sleep, Exercise, Leisure（休闲）, and Food. G．They can help you forget your problems. 五、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 从方框中选择恰当的词或短语并用其适当的形式填空，每个词或短语只能用一次。 tour sleep happy near lead to it weigh human live break down 61．I went to bed very late last night, so I felt ________ in class and couldn’t keep my eyes open. 62．The actors in the film are famous.

In 2022, our government started the building of child-friendly cities in 14 cities, including Beijing, Changsha, Shenzhen, and Ningbo. By 2025, we will carry out 100 projects for child-friendly cities all over the country. Building child-friendly cities is not only a national policy（政策）but also a reshaping of city environments, Xinhua noted. This will offer better places to children in services, rights, and playing areas. The 14 cities introduced child-friendly features such as 70-centimeter-tall rubbish bins,50-centimeter high handles（扶手）in hospitals, 140-centimeter-high handles on buses, and child-friendly sinks in public restrooms, according to People’ s Daily. Local communities are also supporting these great projects. They created places that better serve（服务）children. The recently finished Guangzhou Guangji Community Children’s Park is one such example. People turned the park into a bright yellow playground. Now elder Children can have fun on expanded game walls and there is even a running track for toddlers（幼儿）. However, there are still many problems in building child-friendly cities. For example, parents and teachers often make decisions for children. It’s important to listen to children’s voices. And letting them take part in the decision-making processes（过程）means a lot to the children, said Wang Huifang, a researcher at the Natural Resources and Planning Bureau in Changsha, Hunan. Shenzhen is working on this problem. In 2023,a children’s council was made in the city, where children can talk about things such as weekend activities and how to use space in their community. China is making its cities safer and friendlier for 81 . The 82 actions ● Started the building of child-friendly cities in 14 cities in 2022． ● Plan to carry out 100 projects for child-friendly cities which will 83 better places for children in services, rights and playing areas. 84 from local communities ● Created places to serve children 85 .

Problems & Solutions ● Parents and teachers make decisions for children instead of 88 to children’s voices.
