The teacher got an idea while he was giving his students a lesson about weight. He walked around the classroom while holding a glass of water up in the air. He asked his students, “How heavy is this glass of water?” The students started to shout out their answers. “The weight of this glass isn’t hard to find out, ” the teacher said. “The problem is how long I’m holding it. If I hold it for two minutes, it doesn’t feel like much of a problem. If I hold it for an hour, it might feel heavier as my arm begins to tire. If I hold it for a day or a week, my arm will hurt. It’ll feel painful. I will be unable to think about anything but the pain that I’m in. In all of these situations, the actual weight of the glass will be the same. But the longer I hold onto it, the heavier it feels to me and the harder it is to hold it. ” “Your homework is like this glass of water, by the way, ” the teacher said. The class then understood. 26．The teacher asked the question ________. A．to find out the weight of the glass B．to play a trick on the students C．to tell the students to be careful in life D．to help the students understand a problem 27．What do you think of the teacher? A．He is an impatient teacher. B．He is not a good teacher. C．He is a polite teacher. D．He is an intelligent teacher. 28．What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A．One day, half of the class handed in their homework. B．The teacher was glad that his students knew the answer to his question. C．Students learned a lesson from their teacher.

C．Don’t keep problems for themselves. D．Don’t put off things until the last minute. B Nowadays, we have kinds of technologies to protect us from different disasters（灾难）. We even know where and when some disasters, like the typhoon, come. While most of the new technologies are far away from us, some around us can help people in disasters. The drone（无人机）is one of them. It can be used to send food, water and other important things when a natural disaster happens. Very often the buildings are too dangerous for rescue teams to get in. They can make the drone fly into the buildings to search for those who are still alive first. Social media is also a useful tool when it comes to natural disasters. With its help, people can know about the natural disasters before they hit. And some social media platforms allow people to mark themselves as safe after disasters so others can know their status. Social media is also a place for up-to-the-minute news, so people can learn what is going on in the disaster areas. Besides, many social media platforms allow people to donate money to help people in disaster areas. The money will help them get back to their normal life as soon as possible. For example, livestreaming（直播）helped raise a lot of money for Henan after the flood in 2021. Although these technologies can help when there is a natural disaster, we still need to prepare necessary tools and learn important skills to protect ourselves. 30．If people know others “status”, they know ________.

In Chinese culture, some numbers are believed to be lucky or unlucky based on the Chinese word that the number sounds similar to. For example, the word for the number 8 sounds similar to the word for “making a fortune (发财)”. So, people consider it a very lucky number. Some people will even spend a lot of money to have 8s in their phone number or on their vehicle license plate (车牌照) number. The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics began at 8:08 p.m. on Aug. 8, 2008. The number 9 is also a lucky number because of its connection to the emperors of China. There were nine dragons on emperors’ robes (龙袍) and Chinese myth held that the dragon had nine children. The number 9 also stands for “long lasting”. That’ s why a man always proposes (求婚) to a woman with 99 or 999 roses. So, what’s an unlucky number in China? One example is 4. Many Chinese people see 4 as an unlucky number because it sounds similar to the character for “death”. Because of this, many buildings skip (跳过) the fourth floor, and simply call it the fifth  floor. In Hong Kong, some buildings even skip all floors numbered with 4, such as 4, 14, 24, 34 and all 40-49 floors. Some buildings also skip the 13th floor, as this is considered an unlucky number in some areas in Hong Kong. As a result, a building whose highest floor is 50 may have only 35 physical floors. 37．What makes Chinese people believe a number is lucky or unlucky? A．The shape of the number. B．The sound of the number. C．The history of the number. D．The spelling of the number. 38．A building whose highest floor is 60 in Hong Kong might only have ________ physical floors if it skips all the unlucky numbers. A．35 B．60 C．45 D．44 39．According to the passage, the meaning of number 9 in Chinese culture is _________. A．fortunate B．ordinary C．everlasting D．simple 40．What is the passage mainly about? A．Numbers and old stories in China. B．Lucky and unlucky numbers in Chinese culture. C．Ways to find your lucky and unlucky numbers. D．Different meanings of numbers in different countries. 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分, 满分5分） 阅读短文及文后A～E选项，选出可以填入41～45各题空白处的最佳选项。 Do you know the numbers 0-9 well? They are numbers in Arabic numerals.

In Roman numerals, two fingers means 2, three fingers means 3, you can keep your four fingers close on one side and your thumb on the other side. Make each of your hands be five, then you’ll have ten. 42 Also, “L” means fifty, “C” means one hundred. 43 Today, few people use them because they are difficult to write and count. But we can still see them on some watches and clocks. Today, most people use the Arabic numerals. They are easy to remember and write. 44 In fact, Indians first created and used the Arabic numerals. In the late 8th century, people in Arabic countries learned about them. 45 So people in Europe called them Arabic numerals. Today, people around the world use Arabic numerals and they help a lot. A．So in Rome, the numbers are “I, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, IV, Ⅶ, Ⅷ, Ⅸ, X”. B．They help people to count things every day. C．But it’s not the only number system that people use.

Here is the result. According to the survey, 55% of the students use smartphones to search for information and study English. On the other hand, 45% of the students use smartphones to play games and watch short videos. Using smartphones has both advantages and disadvantages. On the positive side, smartphones can be very helpful for learning. They provide easy access to a vast amount of information and educational resources. However, there are also some drawbacks. Excessive use of smartphones can waste a lot of time and money. Moreover, it can lead to addiction and distract students from their studies. In my opinion, students should use smartphones wisely. They should set a time limit for non-educational activities and focus more on using smartphones as a tool for learning. 【详解】[总体分析] ①题材：本文是一篇材料作文； ②时态：一般现在时； ③提示：写作要点已给出，考生注意不要遗漏要点，并适当添加细节，突出重点。 [写作步骤] 第一步，介绍智能手机使用调查结果； 第二步，使用智能手机的利弊分析； 第三步，分享自己的建议。 [亮点词汇] ①search for information查信息 ②drawbacks缺点 ③excessive use过度使用 [高分句型] They should set a time limit for non-educational activities and focus more on using smartphones as a tool for learning.

The teacher got an idea while he was giving his students a lesson about weight. He walked around the classroom while holding a glass of water up in the air. He asked his students, “How heavy is this glass of water?” The students started to shout out their answers. “The weight of this glass isn’t hard to find out, ” the teacher said. “The problem is how long I’m holding it. If I hold it for two minutes, it doesn’t feel like much of a problem. If I hold it for an hour, it might feel heavier as my arm begins to tire. If I hold it for a day or a week, my arm will hurt. It’ll feel painful. I will be unable to think about anything but the pain that I’m in. In all of these situations, the actual weight of the glass will be the same. But the longer I hold onto it, the heavier it feels to me and the harder it is to hold it. ” “Your homework is like this glass of water, by the way, ” the teacher said. The class then understood. 26．The teacher asked the question ________. A．to find out the weight of the glass B．to play a trick on the students C．to tell the students to be careful in life D．to help the students understand a problem 27．What do you think of the teacher?

C．Don’t keep problems for themselves. D．Don’t put off things until the last minute. B Nowadays, we have kinds of technologies to protect us from different disasters（灾难）. We even know where and when some disasters, like the typhoon, come. While most of the new technologies are far away from us, some around us can help people in disasters. The drone（无人机）is one of them. It can be used to send food, water and other important things when a natural disaster happens. Very often the buildings are too dangerous for rescue teams to get in. They can make the drone fly into the buildings to search for those who are still alive first. Social media is also a useful tool when it comes to natural disasters. With its help, people can know about the natural disasters before they hit. And some social media platforms allow people to mark themselves as safe after disasters so others can know their status. Social media is also a place for up-to-the-minute news, so people can learn what is going on in the disaster areas. Besides, many social media platforms allow people to donate money to help people in disaster areas. The money will help them get back to their normal life as soon as possible. For example, livestreaming（直播）helped raise a lot of money for Henan after the flood in 2021. Although these technologies can help when there is a natural disaster, we still need to prepare necessary tools and learn important skills to protect ourselves. 30．If people know others “status”, they know ________.

In Chinese culture, some numbers are believed to be lucky or unlucky based on the Chinese word that the number sounds similar to. For example, the word for the number 8 sounds similar to the word for “making a fortune (发财)”. So, people consider it a very lucky number. Some people will even spend a lot of money to have 8s in their phone number or on their vehicle license plate (车牌照) number. The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics began at 8:08 p.m. on Aug. 8, 2008. The number 9 is also a lucky number because of its connection to the emperors of China. There were nine dragons on emperors’ robes (龙袍) and Chinese myth held that the dragon had nine children. The number 9 also stands for “long lasting”. That’ s why a man always proposes (求婚) to a woman with 99 or 999 roses. So, what’s an unlucky number in China? One example is 4. Many Chinese people see 4 as an unlucky number because it sounds similar to the character for “death”. Because of this, many buildings skip (跳过) the fourth floor, and simply call it the fifth  floor. In Hong Kong, some buildings even skip all floors numbered with 4, such as 4, 14, 24, 34 and all 40-49 floors. Some buildings also skip the 13th floor, as this is considered an unlucky number in some areas in Hong Kong. As a result, a building whose highest floor is 50 may have only 35 physical floors. 37．What makes Chinese people believe a number is lucky or unlucky? A．The shape of the number. B．The sound of the number. C．The history of the number. D．The spelling of the number. 38．A building whose highest floor is 60 in Hong Kong might only have ________ physical floors if it skips all the unlucky numbers. A．35 B．60 C．45 D．44 39．According to the passage, the meaning of number 9 in Chinese culture is _________. A．fortunate B．ordinary C．everlasting D．simple 40．What is the passage mainly about? A．Numbers and old stories in China. B．Lucky and unlucky numbers in Chinese culture. C．Ways to find your lucky and unlucky numbers. D．Different meanings of numbers in different countries. 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分, 满分5分） 阅读短文及文后A～E选项，选出可以填入41～45各题空白处的最佳选项。 Do you know the numbers 0-9 well? They are numbers in Arabic numerals.

Make each of your hands be five, then you’ll have ten. 42 Also, “L” means fifty, “C” means one hundred. 43 Today, few people use them because they are difficult to write and count. But we can still see them on some watches and clocks. Today, most people use the Arabic numerals. They are easy to remember and write. 44 In fact, Indians first created and used the Arabic numerals. In the late 8th century, people in Arabic countries learned about them. 45 So people in Europe called them Arabic numerals. Today, people around the world use Arabic numerals and they help a lot. A．So in Rome, the numbers are “I, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, IV, Ⅶ, Ⅷ, Ⅸ, X”. B．They help people to count things every day. C．But it’s not the only number system that people use.
