She could have just quit. The race was long decided, and it was raining cats and dogs. But Bou Samnang was running for her country— Cambodia—so she kept going, racing alone on a track in Phnom Penh. And for that, she is being clapped as an inspiration. “I tried to reach the finish line because I wanted to show people that in life, even though we go a bit slow or fast, we will reach our destination all the same,” she said afterward.
News of Bou Samnang’s persistence (坚持) spread rapidly: videos of her finishing the women’s 5,000-meter race at the Southeast Asian Games went viral worldwide. Committed to running for her country, she raced despite struggling with illness. “I knew I was losing. The rain was so heavy. I had the right to abandon the race, but first I have a duty to represent Cambodia. So I did not give up.”
Cheers and encouragement followed Bou Samnang as she neared the finish line, almost six minutes behind the winner. The athlete said later that she was disappointed to finish last but also happy to hear people supporting her —and surprised that the video caused such a stir.
Since last week’s race Bou Samnang has continued to win fans in Cambodia and beyond. Prime Minister Hun Sen announced a $10,000 reward for her determination. Over the weekend, she returned to Morodok Techo Stadium to train and pose for photos with fans. As for what she will do with the money, she said she wanted to pay off her mother’s debts.
The runner’s persistence was noted by Cambodian (柬埔寨的) King Norodom Sihamoni, who said he was proud of her for reminding everyone that sports are about more than winning and losing. The SEA Games, hosting athletes from 11 nations in the region across 581 events, are closing soon.
4. What made Bou Samnang finish racing?
A. Her love for running. B. The cheers from people.
C. The honor of her country. D. Her eagerness for success.
5. What can we infer about Bou Samnang from Paragraph 3?
A. She wasn’t content with herself. B. She was happy to finish racing.
C. She felt disappointed with people. D. She supported people’s decision.
6. What is Cambodian King’s attitude to Bou Samnang?
A. Positive. B. Unclear. C. Negative. D. Uncaring.
7. Which of the following best describes Bou Samnang?
A. Hard-working. B. Creative. C. Sociable. D. Determined.
C
Life-threatening heat waves in the U. S. and Europe, along with China’s record-setting heat, are directly linked to human-caused climate change, according to international researchers. These extreme temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere this summer, breaking over 2,000 high-temperature records in the U. S. alone, are heightened by global warming. Palermo, Sicily, saw a historic 117-degree Fahrenheit temperature, while a northwest Chinese town experienced its highest recorded temperature.
The team, including experts from the World Weather Attribution group, stressed that such events would be nearly impossible without climate change. The influence of El Niño, a natural pattern, is noted, but the burning of fossil fuel (化石燃料) is the main driver of severe heatwaves. Human activities have driven a nearly 2-degree Fahrenheit global temperature rise since the Industrial Revolution’s onset. The researchers utilized weather data and computer models to analyze the impact of warming on ongoing heatwaves. Their rapid attribution report, though yet to be peer-reviewed, indicated that greenhouse gas release increases the frequency and intensity of extreme heat events. Bernadette Woods Placky, chief meteorologist at Climate Central, agreed with this conclusion, stressing the connection between rising greenhouse gases and heat occurrences.
Even a slight temperature rise poses serious health risks, as indicated by the World Health Organization. Heat-related illnesses, heart attacks, and strokes become more probable. Vulnerable communities, including low-income areas and communities of color, face heightened risks due to rising temperatures.
Last year, Europe’s heatwaves killed around 61,000 lives, predominantly among women. Similarly, a heat dome in the Pacific Northwest in 2021 led to hundreds of deaths in Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia. Michael Wehner, a climate scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, warned that dangerous climate change is a present reality and demanded heightened awareness of its results.
In reality, the current heatwaves devastating various regions are basically linked to human-induced climate change. As the world experiences extreme temperatures, it is necessary to recognize the urgency (紧急) of solving this dangerous situation through sustainable practices and policies (政策).
8. What happened to the U. S., Europe and China this summer?
A. Global warming. B. Extreme heat. C. Climate change. D. Setting records.
9. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The findings from experts. B. The researchers’ hard work.
C. The effects of human activities. D. The reasons for high temperatures.
10. How do heatwaves affect people?
A. They cause damage to people. B. They lead to people’s escape.
C. They encourage people to fight. D. They make people become strong.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To tell the causes of heatwaves. B. To call on people to take action.
C. To introduce phenomena of heatwaves. D. To find ways to protect the environment.
D
Southern Europe is facing a water crisis that could lead to a decrease in food production, especially in agriculture. Decreasing agricultural production in Europe and reduced water resources are future dangers as worldwide temperatures continue to rise, the world's top climate scientists say.
Part of the Vinuela reservoir (水库) is seen dry due to lack of rain in La Vinuela, southern Spain, Feb. 22,2022. Declining agricultural production and reduced water resources are key risks as global temperatures continue to rise.
Spain is facing one of the driest winters on record. Juan Camacho,a farmer in the southern province of Granada,said," We are facing a drastic situation." In Portugal,authorities have limited the use of some reservoirs for hydroelectric(水力发电的)power and irrigation as the country experiences an unusual winter drought.
Located between Costa del Sol and the Sierra Nevada mountains in southern Spain, Montes' land should have plenty of water. But with 41 percent less rain than average since October, dams contain almost no water. Private sources of water---such as ponds---that are supposed to last farmers through summer are empty.
"As farmers, we are used to dealing with drought," said Montes, who learned the job from his father when he was 14."But every year we see less and less rain. I fear for my livelihood."
As warming rises faster in Europe than the worldwide average, experts painted a picture of a divided continent. They suggest that the south would become increasingly dry and the north could take on a Mediterranean (地中海的) climate that might provide some increased crop production and forest growth, but with risks of its own.
Rachel Licker, a climate expert at the Union of Concerned Scientists, told The Associated Press, There are some vegetables and warm climate crops that might see benefits in the short term. The major crops that are exported and really form the basis of a lot of the economy are the ones that are likely to be negatively affected."
12. What is a major factor of a water crisis according to the passage?
A. Improper management. B. Polluted environment.
C. Limited use of reservoirs. D. A warmer climate.
13. What does the underlined word in the third paragraph probably mean?
A. Impressive. B. Serious. C. Positive. D. Attractive.
14 What can we learn from the passage?
A. This is the first time that the farmers have suffered so much from the drought.
B. Montes 'land has plenty of water because it has not been affected by the drought.
C. Northern Europe relatively doesn't suffer a lot partly due to the Mediterranean climate.
D. Private sources of water which include ponds can help farmers last through summer.
15. Which of the following might be the best title?
A. Droughts in Southern Europe B. Reduced Food Production
C. A Water Crisis Hit Europe D. Natural Disaster Strikes Often

Maha was in the ninth grade and a leader of her class. She was not only good in her studies, but also good at sports. Maha was smart and kind-hearted. Her parents were proud of her and she was well liked by everyone in her family and friends’ circle. A new family moved to their neighbourhood and they had a daughter named Esha, who was the same age as Maha. Soon Maha and Esha became friends because they also studied in the same class and had common interests.
Esha was a clever student and was generally a nice person, but often she would become a little arrogant (傲慢的). Esha’s family was rich and she was rather proud of being rich. It was no wonder that Esha had a huge ego (自负) and it often showed itself in her behaviour.
When Maha and Esha started to hang out together, Maha noticed that Esha always liked to show off her wealth and lifestyle.
Maha also noticed, in the first week of their friendship, that Esha made fun of her classmates who were not rich and she would show off her expensive pens and other things to everyone. When her parents bought a new car, she sent a picture of the car in the group chat of her class.
Esha also made it a point to bring expensive make-up, bags and even a smartphone, which was not allowed, to the school. This behaviour, annoyed her classmates and they started calling her Miss Ego.
Maha warned Esha many times that she should stop making fun of others, but she never listened.
Maha decided to break her friendship with Esha because she was an arrogant person. When Esha got to know that Maha did not want to be friends with her anymore, she got mad and started making fun of Maha too.
This further frustrated Maha, so she decided to go to Esha’s house and talk to her parents about this. Esha’s parents listened to Maha and they felt ashamed about their daughter’s behaviour. They told Maha that they were sorry for all the stupid things that Esha did. They then called Esha and made her sit with them.

She could have just quit. The race was long decided, and it was raining cats and dogs. But Bou Samnang was running for her country— Cambodia—so she kept going, racing alone on a track in Phnom Penh. And for that, she is being clapped as an inspiration. “I tried to reach the finish line because I wanted to show people that in life, even though we go a bit slow or fast, we will reach our destination all the same,” she said afterward.
News of Bou Samnang’s persistence (坚持) spread rapidly: videos of her finishing the women’s 5000-meter race at the Southeast Asian Games went viral worldwide. Committed to running for her country, she raced despite struggling with illness. “I knew I was losing. The rain was so heavy. I had the right to abandon the race, but first I have a duty to represent Cambodia. So I did not give up.”
Cheers and encouragement followed Bou Samnang as she neared the finish line, almost six minutes behind the winner. The athlete said later that she was disappointed to finish last but also happy to hear people supporting her —and surprised that the video caused such a stir.
Since last week’s race, Bou Samnang has continued to win fans in Cambodia and beyond. Prime Minister Hun Sen announced a $10,000 reward for her determination. Over the weekend, she returned to Morodok Techo Stadium to train and pose for photos with fans. As for what she will do with the money, she said she wanted to pay off her mother’s debts.
The runner’s persistence was noted by Cambodian (柬埔寨的) King Norodom Sihamoni, who said he was proud of her for reminding everyone that sports are about more than winning and losing. The SEA Games, hosting athletes from 11 nations in the region across 581 events, are closing soon.

Life-threatening heat waves in the U. S. and Europe, along with China’s record-setting heat, are directly linked to human-caused climate change, according to international researchers. These extreme temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere this summer, breaking over 2,000 high-temperature records in the U. S. alone, are heightened by global warming. Palermo, Sicily, saw a historic 117-degree Fahrenheit temperature, while a northwest Chinese town experienced its highest recorded temperature.
The team, including experts from the World Weather Attribution group, stressed that such events would be nearly impossible without climate change. The influence of El Niño, a natural pattern, is noted, but the burning of fossil fuel (化石燃料) is the main driver of severe heatwaves. Human activities have driven a nearly 2-degree Fahrenheit global temperature rise since the Industrial Revolution’s onset. The researchers utilized weather data and computer models to analyze the impact of warming on ongoing heatwaves. Their rapid attribution report, though yet to be peer-reviewed, indicated that greenhouse gas release increases the frequency and intensity of extreme heat events. Bernadette Woods Placky, chief meteorologist at Climate Central, agreed with this conclusion, stressing the connection between rising greenhouse gases and heat occurrences.
Even a slight temperature rise poses serious health risks, as indicated by the World Health Organization. Heat-related illnesses, heart attacks, and strokes become more probable. Vulnerable communities, including low-income areas and communities of color, face heightened risks due to rising temperatures.
Last year, Europe’s heatwaves killed around 61,000 lives, predominantly among women. Similarly, a heat dome in the Pacific Northwest in 2021 led to hundreds of deaths in Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia. Michael Wehner, a climate scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, warned that dangerous climate change is a present reality and demanded heightened awareness of its results.
In reality the current heatwaves devastating various regions are basically linked to human-induced climate change. As the world experiences extreme temperatures, it is necessary to recognize the urgency (紧急) of solving this dangerous situation through sustainable practices and policies (政策).
8. What happened to the U. S. Europe and China this summer?
A. Global warming. B. Extreme heat. C. Climate change. D. Setting records.
9 What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The findings from experts. B. The researchers’ hard work.
C. The effects of human activities. D. The reasons for high temperatures.
10. How do heatwaves affect people?
A. They cause damage to people. B. They lead to people’s escape.
C. They encourage people to fight. D. They make people become strong.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To tell the causes of heatwaves. B. To call on people to take action.
C. To introduce phenomena of heatwaves. D. To find ways to protect the environment.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国和欧洲的威胁生命的热浪以及中国创纪录的高温与人为的气候变化相关。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Life-threatening heat waves in the U. S. and Europe, along with China’s record-setting heat, are directly linked to human-caused climate change, according to international researchers.(国际研究人员说,美国和欧洲危及生命的热浪,以及中国创纪录的高温,都与人为造成的气候变化直接相关。)”可知,今年夏天,美国、欧洲以及中国都发生了极端高温天气。故选B。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“The team, including experts from the World Weather Attribution group, stressed that such events would be nearly impossible without climate change. The influence of El Niño, a natural pattern, is noted, but the burning of fossil fuel(化石燃料)is the main driver of severe heatwaves. Human activities have driven a nearly 2-degree Fahrenheit global temperature rise since the Industrial Revolution’s onset. The researchers utilized weather data and computer models to analyze the impact of warming on ongoing heatwaves.(包括世界天气归因组织专家在内的研究小组强调,如果没有气候变化,这样的事件几乎不可能发生。人们注意到了El Niño的影响,这是一种自然模式,但化石燃料的燃烧是严重热浪的主要驱动因素。自工业革命开始以来,人类活动导致全球气温上升了近2华氏度。研究人员利用天气数据和计算机模型来分析变暖对持续热浪的影响。)”可知,第二段主要讨论了今年夏天产生热浪的原因。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Even a slight temperature rise poses serious health risks, as indicated by the World Health Organization. (世界卫生组织指出,即使是轻微的温度上升也会对健康造成严重威胁。)”以及第四段“Last year, Europe’s heatwaves killed around 61,000 lives, predominantly among women. Similarly, a heat dome in the Pacific Northwest in 2021 led to hundreds of deaths in Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia. (去年,欧洲的热浪夺去了大约6.1万人的生命,其中大部分是女性。同样,2021年太平洋西北部的一个热罩导致华盛顿州、俄勒冈州和不列颠哥伦比亚省数百人死亡。)”可知,高温热浪给人们造成了极大的伤害。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“As the world experiences extreme temperatures, it is necessary to recognize the urgency(紧急)of solving this dangerous situation through sustainable practices and policies(政策).(随着世界经历极端温度,有必要认识到通过可持续的实践和政策来解决这一危险局面的紧迫性。)”可知,文章作者写这篇文章的目的是为了号召人们采取行动以解决问题。故选B。
D
Southern Europe is facing a water crisis that could lead to a decrease in food production, especially in agriculture. Decreasing agricultural production in Europe and reduced water resources are future dangers as worldwide temperatures continue to rise, the world's top climate scientists say.
Part of the Vinuela reservoir (水库) is seen dry due to lack of rain in La Vinuela, southern Spain, Feb. 22,2022. Declining agricultural production and reduced water resources are key risks as global temperatures continue to rise.
Spain is facing one of the driest winters on record. Juan Camacho,a farmer in the southern province of Granada,said," We are facing a drastic situation." In Portugal,authorities have limited the use of some reservoirs for hydroelectric(水力发电的)power and irrigation as the country experiences an unusual winter drought.
Located between Costa del Sol and the Sierra Nevada mountains in southern Spain, Montes' land should have plenty of water. But with 41 percent less rain than average since October, dams contain almost no water. Private sources of water---such as ponds---that are supposed to last farmers through summer are empty.
"As farmers, we are used to dealing with drought," said Montes, who learned the job from his father when he was 14."But every year we see less and less rain. I fear for my livelihood."
As warming rises faster in Europe than the worldwide average, experts painted a picture of a divided continent. They suggest that the south would become increasingly dry and the north could take on a Mediterranean (地中海的) climate that might provide some increased crop production and forest growth, but with risks of its own.
Rachel Licker, a climate expert at the Union of Concerned Scientists, told The Associated Press, There are some vegetables and warm climate crops that might see benefits in the short term. The major crops that are exported and really form the basis of a lot of the economy are the ones that are likely to be negatively affected."
12. What is a major factor of a water crisis according to the passage?
A. Improper management. B. Polluted environment.
C. Limited use of reservoirs. D. A warmer climate.
13. What does the underlined word in the third paragraph probably mean?
A. Impressive. B. Serious. C. Positive. D. Attractive.
14. What can we learn from the passage?
A. This is the first time that the farmers have suffered so much from the drought.
B. Montes 'land has plenty of water because it has not been affected by the drought.
C. Northern Europe relatively doesn't suffer a lot partly due to the Mediterranean climate.
D. Private sources of water which include ponds can help farmers last through summer.
15. Which of the following might be the best title?
A. Droughts in Southern Europe B. Reduced Food Production
C. A Water Crisis Hit Europe D. Natural Disaster Strikes Often
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。南欧正面临水资源危机,可能导致粮食产量下降,特别是农业产量下降。世界顶级气候科学家表示,随着全球气温持续上升,欧洲农业产量下降和水资源减少将成为未来的危险。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“ Decreasing agricultural production in Europe and reduced water resources are future dangers as worldwide temperatures continue to rise, the world's top climate scientists say.(世界顶级气候科学家表示,随着全球气温持续上升,欧洲农业产量下降和水资源减少将成为未来的危险。)”可知,主要原因时温度的持续上升,也就是说,一个更温暖的气候造成的,故选D项。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据前一句“Spain is facing one of the driest winters on record. (西班牙正面临有史以来最干燥的冬季之一。)”可知,西班牙面临的缺水问题非常的严重,因为用了“the driest”,故下一句中农民说的他们面临的应该就是严重的缺水情况。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“They suggest that the south would become increasingly dry and the north could take on a Mediterranean (地中海的) climate that might provide some increased crop production and forest growth, but with risks of its own.(他们认为,南部将变得越来越干燥,北部呈现出的地中海的气候可能提供一些农作物和森林生长,但也有其自身的风险。)”可知,欧洲北部因为呈现出地中海气候有利于一些农作物和森林的生长。而C项“Northern Europe relatively doesn't suffer a lot partly due to the Mediterranean climate.(北欧受影响相对较小,部分原因是地中海气候。)”也是同样的含义,故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的第一句“Southern Europe is facing a water crisis that could lead to a decrease in food production, especially in agriculture. (南欧正面临水资源危机,可能导致粮食产量下降,特别是农业产量下降。)”可知,文章主要讲了南欧面临的水资源危机。A项“Droughts in Southern Europe”表示南欧的干旱,因为干旱造成欧洲南部严重的水资源危机,故选A项。

【19题详解】
根据上文“Fortunately this can be accomplished in a couple different ways. The first is to have consistent meetings with your tutor.”(幸运的是,这可以通过几种不同的方式实现。第一个是与你的导师进行一致的会议)以及后文“It’s admirable for a young intern, especially one who works from home, to speak up.”(一个年轻的实习生,尤其是在家工作的实习生,能说出自己的想法是令人钦佩的)可知,上文提到了和导师进行会议,后文则指出说出自己的想法是令人钦佩的,可知本句是在说明和同事交流自己的想法,故F选项: Exchanging your good ideas timely with coworkers is another way.

This is also a very valuable skill to learn! ”(你坐在办公桌前,突然想起你还有一些家务要做,这可能会降低你的效率,让你工作更多的时间,更少的专注于需要做的事情。学会提高你的工作效率,充分利用你的工作时间,这样你就能在实习的最后期限前完成任务。这也是一个非常值得学习的技能!)可知,后文提到在家工作可能会因为家务事降低效率,即在家实习会让人分心,E项:A work from home internship is an invitation for distractions! (在家实习只会让你分心!)符合语境,故选E。

考查形容词辨析。句意:就在那时,我注意到那个男孩是个盲人。A. lame瘸的,跛的;B. dumb哑的;C. deaf聋的;D. blind瞎的。根据下文Instead, he held it in midair.可知,作者知道了小男孩是盲人。下文I myself had been blind体现了信息词的复现。故选D。
【31题详解】
考查动词辨析。句意:我听到我的声音颤抖,眼泪在阳光下闪烁,我感谢他给了我最好的一个。A. rising上升,提高;B. dropping掉下,落下;C. trembling颤抖;D. floating漂浮。根据tears shone in the sun可知,作者知道真相后,被小男孩的行为感动了,因此声音是颤抖的。故选C。

【点睛】完形填空的解题技巧之一就是要根据上下文来学会“推理”出最佳选项。在做题过程中要遵循“上下求索”的原则来查找信息。例如:第1小题根据The world seemed to be against me.可知,作者认为整个世界似乎都在与她作对,因此感到很难过。下文how he managed to see a sad woman under the tree中的sad也是提示词。故选D。第6小题根据It smells pretty可知,设空处表示用鼻子闻。故选B。另外还要注意“词汇复现”,例如: 根据下文Instead, he held it in midair.可知,作者知道了小男孩是盲人。下文I myself had been blind体现了信息词的复现。故选D。

Maha was in the ninth grade and a leader of her class. She was not only good in her studies, but also good at sports. Maha was smart and kind-hearted. Her parents were proud of her and she was well liked by everyone in her family and friends’ circle. A new family moved to their neighbourhood and they had a daughter named Esha, who was the same age as Maha. Soon Maha and Esha became friends because they also studied in the same class and had common interests.
Esha was a clever student and was generally a nice person, but often she would become a little arrogant (傲慢的). Esha’s family was rich and she was rather proud of being rich. It was no wonder that Esha had a huge ego (自负) and it often showed itself in her behaviour.
When Maha and Esha started to hang out together, Maha noticed that Esha always liked to show off her wealth and lifestyle.
Maha also noticed, in the first week of their friendship, that Esha made fun of her classmates who were not rich and she would show off her expensive pens and other things to everyone. When her parents bought a new car, she sent a picture of the car in the group chat of her class.
Esha also made it a point to bring expensive make-up, bags and even a smartphone, which was not allowed, to the school. This behaviour, annoyed her classmates and they started calling her Miss Ego.
Maha warned Esha many times that she should stop making fun of others, but she never listened.
Maha decided to break her friendship with Esha because she was an arrogant person. When Esha got to know that Maha did not want to be friends with her anymore, she got mad and started making fun of Maha too.
This further frustrated Maha, so she decided to go to Esha’s house and talk to her parents about this. Esha’s parents listened to Maha and they felt ashamed about their daughter’s behaviour. They told Maha that they were sorry for all the stupid things that Esha did. They then called Esha and made her sit with them.

With best wishes.
English Club
【答案】Dear friends,
Let me tell you something about “Clear Your Plate Campaign”. Recently, people have realized how much food we waste every year. And everyone is called on to join a campaign, called “Clear Your Plate Campaign”.
As for me, I think it’s an extremely good idea to follow. And there are lots of things we can do to contribute our efforts to it. For example, when we go out for dinner, we can just order as much food as we can eat to make sure little will be wasted. Of course, if we really can’t eat up our food, it’s also OK to take it home, and we can eat it later. Besides, once we have a chance to have meals with other people, who don’t realize the importance, we can explain the purpose of the campaign and convince them not to waste food. Some may question whether the campaign have any effect, but, I think, one thing we should keep in mind is that no matter how small an effort we make, it do make a difference.
With best wishes.
