Team Tongren beat Team Bijie 57—50 to finish third. Because of a heavy rain, the championship game was put off. The team Qiandongnan won the championship by beating the team from Zunyi City, 68—65.

The first runner-up won a Taijiang sturgeon and a wooden dragon boat. The second runner-up won local agricultural products such as “Sansui sesame duck” and embroidery pieces (绣片). There were no superstar players, no ads, and no tickets. But a single match among villagers could attract (吸引) over 10,000 people to watch from the stands. The number of views online reached hundreds of millions. Besides free tickets for the games, the village has also set up more parking lots and restaurants in neighboring places for the visitors. 16.

B One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his play through school by sending newspaper door to door found that he only had five cents left. He was hungry so he decided to ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve (勇气) when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe (欠) you?” “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but it also increased his faith (信念) in human’s kindness. He was about to give up and quit before this. Years later the young woman became badly ill. The local doctors could not do anything with her. They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists (专家) can be called in a room to study her serious disease (疾病). Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous, was called in, too. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. He rose quickly and went down through the hospital hall into her room. He recognized (认出) her at once and decided to do his best to save her life. Finally, the girl was saved. Dr. Kelly asked the business office to pass the final bill (账单) to him. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was sure that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. “Paid in full with a glass of milk.” —Dr. Howard Kelly Tears of joy flooded her eyes. 19. Why did the boy send newspaper door to door? A. To help his family. B. To become a doctor. C. To thank the woman. D. To continue his schooling. 20. What made the girl refuse the pay from the boy? A. She was very rich. B. She was very kind. C. They knew each other. D. The boy was lovely. 21. Which is true about the boy and the woman? A. She thought he was not hungry but thirsty. B. He became too shy to ask her for a drink of water. C She wanted him to pay for the glass of milk. D. She never thought he would save her life later. 22. What’s the best title for this passage? A. A Glass of Milk B. The Final Bill C. A Warm-hearted Woman D. A Famous Doctor C We usually think fish can’t talk. But there are a lot of sounds under the sea. In fact, scientists believe that all sea animals, at least 250,000 kinds, can “speak”! If we stay focus when diving (潜水) “We can hear animals all around us, ” UK scientist Steve Simpson told the BBC. In the past years, scientists used some recorders (录音设备) to hear fish’s “voices”. There are now thousands of recorders in the sea. They help scientists match sounds with sea life. A healthy coral reef (珊瑚礁) is one of the noisiest places in the sea. Scientists can tell if it’s healthy by listening to it. A healthy coral reef should be full of clicks (喀嚓声) made by shrimps (小虾) . When some coral reef died in 2015 and 2016, they became quiet. After people set up the protected areas (保护区域) , scientists heard the animals come back. By listening to the sea, scientists start to understand sea animals’ languages. Strong clownfish make short “chirp” sounds when going after small clownfish. They do this to show they are more powerful (强大的). A damselfish can create a pop sound to scare other fish by quickly opening and closing its mouth. Mother dolphins can use a special voice to talk to their babies. They are saying “I’m here” to comfort the baby dolphins. 23. What do scientists use “recorders” to do? A. To protect coral reefs. B. To help with fish. C. To collect sounds from sea life. D. To look for new sea life. 24 Why is the healthy coral reef a noisy place? A. Some coral reef died. B. The animals go away. C. Many shrimps live there. D. It gives out sounds. 25. How many kinds of “languages” does the writer mention? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 26. What is the passage mainly about? A Sounds under the sea. B. The living things in the sea. C. A new finding about sounds. D. A collection of animals’ sounds. D What will our life be like without social media (社交媒体) ? We use it almost every day in order to keep up with our friends’ lives, or find out the latest information. Although it has a bad influence (影响) if we don’t use it right, social media has done more good. The greatest advantage is that we can get in touch with people much more easily. With social media, friendship goes beyond (超越) geography. Also, it makes it easier for us to make friends, especially for those who are afraid of making friends face to face. Are you shy? If yes, social media has probably helped. Social media is also helpful for making yourself heard. Anyone with a voice can express it. Anyone with a talent is free to show it. Everyone is the creator. Moreover, anyone with a smartphone and the Internet can be a reporter. As a result, it has become much faster to cover the news than ever before. Social media, on the other hand, can make us less confident (自信) sometimes. A 2021 study found that the more a person uses social media, the sadder he feels about his own life. One reason for this is that people around us put colorful information and pictures online in order to show off their best moment. So we often get a distorted sense of how wonderful their lives are. Social media does not cause sadness, it is simply another tool for us to use. Is it good or bad? A Nobel Peace Prize winner says, “What is interesting is the power and influence of social media…We must try to use social media in a right way.” After all, you decide how you will use this powerful tool. 27. What is the greatest advantage of social media according to the passage? A. Expressing our voices freely. B. Showing our talents to others. C. Recording the best side of our life. D. Connecting with people more easily. 28. What does the word “distorted” probably mean in Paragraph 4? A. clear B. different C. wrong D. simple 29. Which picture shows the structure (结构) of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1,…) A. B. C. D. 30. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A. Social Media: Good or Bad? B. Social Media: To Use or Not to Use? C. Social Media: Connecting the World D. Social Media: Making Yourself Heard 第II卷（非选择题共45分） 三、词汇运用（共10小题, 每小题1分, 满分10分） 根据首字母或汉语提示, 在答题卡上写出下列句子中单词的完全形式。 31. “Son, it is d________ to swim alone in the river.” said the father. 32.

Why?” The other friend replied: “When someone hurts us, we should write ___48___ down in the sand where winds of forgiveness (宽容) can blow it away, ___49___ when someone does something good for us, we must carve (雕刻) it in ___50___ stone where no wind can blow it.” 阅读下面短文，回答短文后面的各个小题。 Anne of Green Gables has been a favorite book of teenagers all over the world since it came out in 1908. What it teaches us is simple: How to grow up to be a happy and useful person. Anne is an 11-year-old orphan who arrives in the town of Avonlea, Canada. She helps Mathew and Marilla Cuthbert, a brother and sister, on their farm. At first, Mathew and Marilla hope to adopt (收养) a boy, not a thin girl. Will she be of any use on the farm? It seems unlikely: Anne is very imaginative, talkative and easily distracted (分心的). That’s not what is needed on a farm. And yet, Annie proves (证明) that she can actually be useful. She works really hard. But she doesn’t lose her great sense of fun and this is why readers love the story. She doesn’t become “a good girl”, if “good girl” means knowing only how to work and live unhappily. We see Anne’s love for life everywhere. She knows how to enjoy herself, whether it’s by eating ice cream or trying on a new dress. Many stories for children are written to tell them how to be good. Usually, it means doing one’s duty (责任) and not having any fun. But that’s not the kind of story Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery wanted to tell. The book gives readers a helping hand rather than try to scare them into being “good” girls and boys. 51. When was the book first printed? ___________________________________________________ 52. Why do the brother and sister dislike Anne at first? ___________________________________________________ 53. How does Ann prove herself on the farm? ___________________________________________________ 54. What is a usual “good girl” like in the passage? ___________________________________________________ 55. What does the writer of the passage think of the book? ___________________________________________________ 六、写作（满分15分） 56. 寒假即将到来，你的英国笔友汤姆写邮件询问你的假期计划。假如你是李华，请你根据以下提示用英语回复他的邮件。 1 to have a good living habit 2. to make good plans about your time 3. to develop interests and hobbies … 注意： 1. 词数80词左右（开头和结尾已给出，但不计入总词数）； 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Tom, How are you?
