Don’t let your children get bored in the car! Here are some good games to take your kid’s mind off the long road ahead.
Who Am I
Take turns thinking of a character or somebody you know in real life. Once the person has decided on their character, they list three facts about them. For example, if they chose Elsa from Frozen, they might say, “I am a queen, I am lonely, and the cold doesn’t affect me.” Whoever guesses it first wins a point.
Car Trivia
Before starting your trip, have a list of questions written out to pass around the car. Make sure you know the answers off the top of your head so you can check the answers without taking your eyes off the wheel. You can do this in categories (分类) like movies, animals, or American history.
Word Chain
This game is perfect for children skilled in spelling. We’re thinking of 8 years old or more! One person starts by saying a word, and the next person has to say a word that begins with the last letter of the previous word. It might sound like this: “jam,” “milk,” “kettle,” “elf,” “fight,” and so on. The game ends when a person gets a word wrong.
Don’t Say It
Pick five words or phrases kids aren’t allowed to say on the trip. This could include “are we there yet,” and other random (随机的) words like “sunny,” “street,” and “dog”. If they say the forbidden (被禁止的) word or phrase, they gain a point. The person with the fewest points at the trip’s end is the winner!
21. What should you do before starting your trip in the “Car Trivia” game?
A. Write down a list of letters. B. Know all the answers by heart.
C. Pick as many words as you can. D. Watch an American history movie.
22. What is the winning rule of “Don’t Say It”?
A. Whoever says the fewest forbidden words wins.
B Whoever guesses the words first wins the game.
C. Whoever gives the right answer first is the winner.
D. Whoever speaks out the funniest phrase wins a point.
23. Which game is most suitable for children with good spelling skills?
A. Who Am I. B. Car Trivia. C. Word Chain. D. Don’t Say It.

A Nepali climber, Lama, made history on Thursday by reaching the top of Mount Everest in just 14 hours and 31 minutes. This amazing time broke the old record for the fastest climb to the mountain top by a woman. Most climbers need several days to reach the top because they have to stop and rest at different camps along the way to get used to the high altitude (海拔).
Lama, who is in her thirties, cut more than 11 hours off her old record set in 2021. Surprisingly, this means she has broken her own record! She started her climb from the base camp at 3:52 pm on May 22nd and reached the top at 6:23 am the next day, according to Khim, who is in charge of (负责) tourism at the base camp. Before starting her climb, Lama said in a post on Facebook that she was “100 percent sure” she would reach the top of “the Mother Goddess”, which is what some people call Everest.
Due to the limited climbing season and challenging conditions on Mount Everest, the window to reach the top of the mountain is small. Every year, photos show long lines of hikers all waiting for their chance to make it to the top, with large crowds sometimes lasting for hours. By choosing to climb during the whole night, Lama managed to bypass the large crowds.
Interestingly just one day before Lama’s record climb, another famous Nepali climber named Rita, also known as “Everest Man,” reached the top for his unbelievable 30th time. He did it at 7:49 am local time on Wednesday.
Rita said he was happy with his record, but also mentioned that records are meant to be broken. What truly fills him with pride, however, is that his climbs help Nepal be recognized in the world.
24. How did Lama feel before climbing Everest?
A Nervous. B. Curious. C. Confused. D. Confident.
25. How did Lama manage to avoid large crowds?
A By climbing overnight. B. By turning to experienced locals.
C. By taking a different mountain path. D. By using special advanced technology.
26. What is Rita most proud of about his climbs?
A. Breaking records for the fastest climbs.
B. Helping Nepal to get global recognition.
C Climbing Mount Everest more times than anyone else.
D. Setting a new record just one day before Lama’s climb.
27. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A history magazine. B. A travel guidebook.
C. A sports news website. D. An adventure novel.
C
Australia has passed a law to prevent people younger than 16 from using social media. The law will go into effect in a year. Starting in January, Australia will test ways to carry out the law.
Under the new law, social media companies like Meta and TikTok must take steps to prevent anyone under 16 from using the apps. If the companies do not follow the law, they could be fined (罚款) up to US $32 million. The law doesn’t affect all social media. YouTube is not included because it’s often used in schools.
Last Thursday, Australia’s government passed the Social Media Minimum Age Bill,34 votes (选票) to 19. A recent survey shows that 77% of people in Australia are in favor of the law. People are worried that social media can hurt young people’s mental (精神的) health. So they believe it makes great sense to welcome the changes.
However, some people believe the law will make it harder for young people to connect with others who can support them. Others worry that it will push young people toward less safe parts of the Internet. One of the biggest concerns is how the social media companies will find out how old their users are. The law says the companies must give people a way to prove their age without sending in a government ID, but it’s not clear how this might work. The demand that the companies collect even more information raises worries about the privacy (隐私) of young people.
Social media companies argue that the government passed the new law without enough consideration and it should have considered how the law would work before passing it. With the next 12 months set aside for deciding on these details, the companies believe a more detailed planning process was necessary before the law’s being carried out.
28. Why is YouTube unaffected by the new law?
A. It has already carried out strict age limits.
B. It is commonly used for educational purposes.
C. It is owned by a company based outside Australia.
D. It has a strong privacy policy protecting young users.
29. How does the author show most people in Australia support the law?
A. By providing numbers. B. By giving examples.
C. By quoting authorities. D. By describing people’s stories.
30. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. The law has caused worries among some people.
B. Steps have been taken to remove people’s concerns.
C. Young people’s mental health will be improved greatly.
D. The government has spent too much time passing the law.
31. What do social media companies think of the government’s behavior?
A. Worthwhile. B. Thoughtful. C. Rushed. D. Unnecessary.
D
A baby pygmy hippo (倭河马) named Moo Deng has become a huge Internet star. Videos and pictures of Moo Deng have made her famous online, and have drawn thousands of people to the zoo in Thailand where she lives. The zoo hopes her celebrity can help bring attention to her endangered species.
Moo Deng is a baby pygmy hippopotamus, a special kind of small hippo that naturally lives in forests in West Africa. She was born at the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand in July, and she’s now two months old. Moo Deng, whose name means “bouncing pig”, is playful, and has a strong personality.

Don’t let your children get bored in the car! Here are some good games to take your kid’s mind off the long road ahead.
Who Am I
Take turns thinking of a character or somebody you know in real life. Once the person has decided on their character, they list three facts about them. For example, if they chose Elsa from Frozen, they might say, “I am a queen, I am lonely, and the cold doesn’t affect me.” Whoever guesses it first wins a point.
Car Trivia
Before starting your trip, have a list of questions written out to pass around the car. Make sure you know the answers off the top of your head so you can check the answers without taking your eyes off the wheel. You can do this in categories (分类) like movies, animals, or American history.
Word Chain
This game is perfect for children skilled in spelling. We’re thinking of 8 years old or more! One person starts by saying a word, and the next person has to say a word that begins with the last letter of the previous word. It might sound like this: “jam,” “milk,” “kettle,” “elf,” “fight,” and so on. The game ends when a person gets a word wrong.
Don’t Say It
Pick five words or phrases kids aren’t allowed to say on the trip. This could include “are we there yet,” and other random (随机的) words like “sunny,” “street,” and “dog”. If they say the forbidden (被禁止的) word or phrase, they gain a point. The person with the fewest points at the trip’s end is the winner!
21. What should you do before starting your trip in the “Car Trivia” game?
A. Write down a list of letters. B. Know all the answers by heart.
C. Pick as many words as you can. D. Watch an American history movie.
22. What is the winning rule of “Don’t Say It”?

A Nepali climber, Lama, made history on Thursday by reaching the top of Mount Everest in just 14 hours and 31 minutes. This amazing time broke the old record for the fastest climb to the mountain top by a woman. Most climbers need several days to reach the top because they have to stop and rest at different camps along the way to get used to the high altitude (海拔).
Lama, who is in her thirties, cut more than 11 hours off her old record set in 2021. Surprisingly, this means she has broken her own record! She started her climb from the base camp at 3:52 pm on May 22nd and reached the top at 6:23 am the next day, according to Khim, who is in charge of (负责) tourism at the base camp. Before starting her climb, Lama said in a post on Facebook that she was “100 percent sure” she would reach the top of “the Mother Goddess”, which is what some people call Everest.
Due to the limited climbing season and challenging conditions on Mount Everest, the window to reach the top of the mountain is small. Every year, photos show long lines of hikers all waiting for their chance to make it to the top, with large crowds sometimes lasting for hours. By choosing to climb during the whole night, Lama managed to bypass the large crowds.
Interestingly, just one day before Lama’s record climb, another famous Nepali climber named Rita, also known as “Everest Man,” reached the top for his unbelievable 30th time. He did it at 7:49 am local time on Wednesday.
Rita said he was happy with his record, but also mentioned that records are meant to be broken. What truly fills him with pride, however, is that his climbs help Nepal be recognized in the world.
24. How did Lama feel before climbing Everest?
A. Nervous. B. Curious. C. Confused. D. Confident.
25. How did Lama manage to avoid large crowds?
A. By climbing overnight. B. By turning to experienced locals.
C. By taking a different mountain path. D. By using special advanced technology.
26. What is Rita most proud of about his climbs?
A. Breaking records for the fastest climbs.
B. Helping Nepal to get global recognition.
C. Climbing Mount Everest more times than anyone else.
D. Setting a new record just one day before Lama’s climb.
27. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A history magazine. B. A travel guidebook.
C. A sports news website. D. An adventure novel.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了尼泊尔登山者Lama和Rita在珠穆朗玛峰上创造新的攀登记录的故事。两位登山者的成就不仅展示了他们的个人能力和毅力,也提升了尼泊尔在全球的知名度。

【25题详解】

Australia has passed a law to prevent people younger than 16 from using social media. The law will go into effect in a year. Starting in January, Australia will test ways to carry out the law.
Under the new law, social media companies like Meta and TikTok must take steps to prevent anyone under 16 from using the apps. If the companies do not follow the law, they could be fined (罚款) up to US $32 million. The law doesn’t affect all social media. YouTube is not included because it’s often used in schools.
Last Thursday, Australia’s government passed the Social Media Minimum Age Bill,34 votes (选票) to 19. A recent survey shows that 77% of people in Australia are in favor of the law. People are worried that social media can hurt young people’s mental (精神的) health. So they believe it makes great sense to welcome the changes.
However, some people believe the law will make it harder for young people to connect with others who can support them. Others worry that it will push young people toward less safe parts of the Internet. One of the biggest concerns is how the social media companies will find out how old their users are. The law says the companies must give people a way to prove their age without sending in a government ID, but it’s not clear how this might work. The demand that the companies collect even more information raises worries about the privacy (隐私) of young people.
Social media companies argue that the government passed the new law without enough consideration and it should have considered how the law would work before passing it. With the next 12 months set aside for deciding on these details, the companies believe a more detailed planning process was necessary before the law’s being carried out.
28. Why is YouTube unaffected by the new law?
A. It has already carried out strict age limits.
B. It is commonly used for educational purposes.
C. It is owned by a company based outside Australia.
D. It has a strong privacy policy protecting young users.
29. How does the author show most people in Australia support the law?
A. By providing numbers. B. By giving examples.
C. By quoting authorities. D. By describing people’s stories.
30. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. The law has caused worries among some people.
B. Steps have been taken to remove people’s concerns.
C. Young people’s mental health will be improved greatly.
D. The government has spent too much time passing the law.
31. What do social media companies think of the government’s behavior?
A. Worthwhile. B. Thoughtful. C. Rushed. D. Unnecessary.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了澳大利亚最近通过的一项法律,该法律旨在防止16岁以下的年轻人使用社交媒体。这项法律将在一年后生效,并从明年1月开始测试实施方法。
【28题详解】

【29题详解】
推理判断题。第三段中“Last Thursday, Australia’s government passed the Social Media Minimum Age Bill, 34 votes (选票) to 19. A recent survey shows that 77% of people in Australia are in favor of the law. (上周四,澳大利亚政府以34票对19票通过了《社交媒体最低年龄法案》。最近的一项调查显示,77%的澳大利亚人支持这项法律。)”提到“34 votes (选票) to 19”以及最近的一项调查显示,77%的澳大利亚人支持这项法律。由此可知,作者通过提供具体的数字来展示大多数人对这项法律的支持。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。第四段“However, some people believe the law will make it harder for young people to connect with others who can support them. Others worry that it will push young people toward less safe parts of the Internet. One of the biggest concerns is how the social media companies will find out how old their users are. (然而,一些人认为,这项法律将使年轻人更难与能够支持他们的人联系。其他人则担心这将把年轻人推向互联网不太安全的部分。最大的担忧之一是社交媒体公司将如何发现他们用户的年龄。)”介绍了不同人对新法律的不同看法。一些人认为这将使年轻人更难与他人建立联系,还有一些人担心这会将年轻人推向互联网上更不安全的部分。这些观点表明这项法律引起了一些人的担忧。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段“Social media companies argue that the government passed the new law without enough consideration and it should have considered how the law would work before passing it. With the next 12 months set aside for deciding on these details, the companies believe a more detailed planning process was necessary before the law’s being carried out. (社交媒体公司认为,政府在没有充分考虑的情况下通过了新法律,应该在通过之前考虑法律的运作方式。由于未来12个月将决定这些细节,两家公司认为,在法律实施之前,有必要进行更详细的规划过程。)”提到社交媒体公司认为政府在没有充分考虑如何实施的情况下就匆忙通过了新法律。他们认为应该有一个更详细的规划过程,这表明他们认为政府的行为是仓促的。故选C。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英语和汉语在全球范围内的使用情况以及这两种语言的学习难点。
【56题详解】
考查副词。句意:说到英语,我们知道英语在全球事务中被广泛使用。此处需要填入一个副词来修饰动词used,wide的副词形式是widely。故填widely。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:不管人们说的是哪种英语,母语为英语的人理解“gas”、“petrol”、“subway”、“apartment”、“pants”、“semester”等词都没有问题,尽管词汇量略有不同。have trouble (in) doing sth. 意为“做某事有困难”,所以应填understand的动名词形式。故填understanding。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:但母语不是英语的学生却在为数十亿个单词而苦苦挣扎。分析句子结构可知,这是一个关系代词引导的定语从句,作定语修饰students,表示“那些母语不是英语的学生”。故填whose。
【59题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:另一方面,从外国人的角度来看,汉语被认为是一门要求很高的语言。句型be regarded as意为“被认为是”。句子是描述一个事实,使用一般现在时,主语是Chinese,是不可数名词,所以系动词用is。故填is regarded。
【60题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:首先,在中国被称为普通话主要语言很难学,更不用说各种各样的方言了。varieties of意为“各种各样的”。故填varieties。
【61题详解】
考查一般过去时。句意:文字系统可以追溯到商代,当时人们在骨头或贝壳上雕刻了一些具有特定含义的东西,就像奇怪的图画。根据语境可知,这里描述的是过去发生的动作,所以需要使用一般过去时。故填carved。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意:然而,基于对这些人物的共同欣赏,一些经典作品现在仍然被阅读,通过这种方式我们可以更多地了解事故时代的起伏。分析句子结构可知,这里需要填入一个名词作介词on的宾语,appreciate的名词形式是appreciation。故填appreciation。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意:同上。by this means意为“通过这种方法”。故填by。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意:此外,书法也是一种与中国文化密切相关的艺术形式。art form是单数可数名词短语,前面需要加不定冠词,表示泛指,又因为art是以元音音素开头的单词,所以用an。故填an。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:为了弥合文化之间的差距,我们永远不应该放弃学好它们。根据语境可知,这里需要填入一个不定式短语作目的状语,表示“为了弥合文化之间的差距”,句首单词首字母需大写。故填To bridge。

Jacky was fat He knew all the other kids were talking about him. One day, a boy of his age came up to him. He stood looking at Jacky up and down. Finally, Jacky grew tired of it.
“What are you looking at?” Jacky demanded. His mother had taught him to be polite to all people, but this situation tested his patience.
“Boy, you are fat.” The kid smiled. “You look just like my red balloon.” He giggled (咯咯地笑) and waved the red thing at Jacky, holding it up to his eye. “Yup, just like my red balloon.”
Jacky took it out of Mikey’s hands, burst (弄爆) it, and threw the red balloon to the floor. It made Jacky so mad that he stepped on it with his feet. Frightened, the little boy watched his treasure suffer a terrible death. Mikey’s cry echoed (回响) through the hallway of the school. Doors opened and teachers looked out to see what was going on.
“I’m sorry. You made me so mad,” Jacky said, knowing he was in trouble.
“You killed my balloon. You killed my red balloon.” Mikey on his knees looked at the broken balloon sadly. At that moment, Mrs. Daron came up and tried to be fair to both of them. She had been teaching for 30 years and was like a grandmother to her students at Criton elementary.
She looked down at the little boy on his knees. “What happened, Mikey?” Mikey looked at the headmaster with tear-filled eyes, saying, “Jacky killed my red balloon just because I said he was fat.” She took a look at the two boys. The look she gave them was one of understanding and caring. She helped Mikey to his feet and put her hand on his shoulder.

【答案】参考范文:
She calmed down the two boys and walked them to her office. Sitting in her chair, Mrs. Daron looked at Jacky and Mikey with a soft but serious expression. She said, “Both of you made mistakes today. Jacky, it was wrong of you to lose your temper and destroy Mikey’s balloon. Using violence to solve problems only makes things worse. And Mikey, you were wrong too. It’s not polite to make fun of others’ appearance. Words can hurt just as much as physical actions.” Hearing those words, the two boys hung their heads, realizing their errors.
Opening the drawer, she took out a red balloon and handed it to Jacky. Jacky looked at the balloon in surprise. Mrs. Daron said gently, “Jacky, I give you this balloon to remind you that you should be more tolerant and not let anger control you. Now, Jacky, what do you want to say to Mikey?” Jacky turned to Mikey and said sincerely, “I’m sorry, Mikey. I shouldn’t have burst your balloon.” Mikey replied, “I’m sorry too, Jacky. I shouldn’t have made fun of you.” Mrs. Daron smiled when she saw that the two boys had made up.
