Below is the information about tennis and badminton that Natalie found on a website.
TENNIS
In the USA, tennis is a very popular racket sport. What you need for tennis are a racket for each player, a tennis ball and a tennis court. Tennis is played on a rectangle outdoor court.
However, it can also be played indoors to avoid the sunshine or the rain.
A tennis court is 78 feet long and 36 feet wide. There is a three-foot-tall net in the centre of the court. A racket is about 27-28 inches long and over 300 grams.
Tennis serves (发球) are overhead and underhand. If you can’t do it well for the first, you will have a second chance.
BADMINTON
For people in the USA, badminton is a backyard (后院) activity more than a sport. The things you need to play badminton are a racket for each player, a single shuttlecock (羽毛球), a net and a badminton court. Just like tennis, it is also a racket sport on a rectangle court in an indoor gym. A badminton court is 44 feet long and 20 feet wide. The net in a badminton court is about 5 feet tall. A badminton racket is about 26-27 inches long and 90 grams.
Badminton serves are underhand and below the waist (腰部). And if you hit the ball outside of the court or hit the net on the serve, you will lose the point.

In the minds of the Chinese, the moon is connected with gentleness and brightness, expressing their best wishes. On August 15 of the lunar calendar (阴历) each year, the moon is full and it’s time to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In traditional Chinese culture, the moon is a carrier of human emotions (情感). In ancient times, from royalty to the ordinary family, it was an important custom to appreciate the full moon during the festival. Adults usually enjoyed delicious mooncakes with a cup of hot tea, while children ran around with bright lanterns. After nightfall, whole families went out for a walk under the stars, looking up at the full moon and thinking of their relatives or friends, as well as those who were far from home. A line from a poem “The moon viewed at home is brighter” expresses those feelings.
Besides, with respect to the history of Chinese civilization (文明), China is the first nation to have the dream of flying to the sky. From the story of Chang’e to Dunhuang flying apsaras (飞天), all express Chinese ancestors’ desire to explore outer space. Many ancient Chinese poets also showed their preference for the moon through wonderful words. For example, the poet Li Bai wrote hundreds of poems about the moon during his lifetime.
The Chinese exploring moon project (探月工程), named after Chang’e, fully expresses this pursuit (追求) of the Chinese. The successful launch (发射) of Chang’e I not only laid the ground work for future exploration of the moon, but also made a long-held dream of the Chinese people come true.
25. What do Chinese people think of the moon?
A The moon is a symbol of health and wealth.
B. The moon is not as bright as the sun.
C. The moon carries human emotions.
D. The moon viewed at home is brighter.
26. Paragraph 2 mainly talks about ________.
A. how ancient Chinese people celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival
B. when Chinese people celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival
C. what poems Chinese people wrote about the moon
D. why Chinese people celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival
27. The passage is probably taken from ________.
A. a travel guide B. a health magazine C. a newspaper D. a history textbook
28. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The moon carries Chinese people’s best wishes and dreams.
B. China is the first nation to dream of exploring outer space.
C. Ancient Chinese poets wrote hundreds of poems about the moon.
D. The Chinese exploring moon project shows the love for the moon.

Some people think creativity is making something completely new, so they do not think of themselves as creative ones. However, some other people think creativity can just be expressing themselves through everyday acts and they are born creative because it is not an all-or-nothing quality or skill.
Whether or not we realize it, we all have the ability to express creativity. Sometimes the path to creative productivity is being willing to do something different.
Are you someone who loves to read comics? Perhaps it is time you create one of your own. Don’t worry if you cannot draw very well or feel that you cannot write humorous reports for characters. Nobody says this is an exam! You only have to please yourself, to gain the satisfaction that you try something new, all on your own. If you feel easy, you can of course share it with your loved ones, or post it on social media
Are you someone who likes to express yourself in writing? Try writing a blog. This is like the new version of a diary. In your blog, you can write about your thoughts, opinions and experiences. You can also write stories or plays, if you feel up to it! The blog provides you with a platform to create something new every day, in written forms.
Are you someone who likes to be alone? Now, think about the things that make you happy. Find a small place in your room, or any place in your home, where you can spend time with yourself. It can be a small corner next to your bed or a wall. It can be a poster of your favorite rock star or photos of your friends. You can also pick a guitar if you like to play instruments, or a few storybooks if you love reading. Some of you may like flowers, candles or pretty things. Decorate your area with your favorite things in any way you like. That is creativity! And if you do feel bored with this, you can change, add or remove something.
By realizing the chances in our daily lives to inspire our creativity, no matter how small, we may become more comfortable with taking bigger creative leaps in other parts of our lives.
29. How does the writer begin the article?
A. By asking questions. B. By giving examples.
C. By showing opinions. D. By explaining reasons.
30. The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refers to “________”.
A. reading comics B. creating your own comics
C. pleasing yourself D. gaining the satisfaction
31. In what ways can we show our creativity according to the article?
a. playing the piano b. receiving flowers c. keeping calm
d. writing blogs e. watching plays f. decorating rooms
A. bcf B. ace C. adf D. bde
32. What is the purpose of the article?
A. To offer us all kinds of ideas and experiences.
B. To teach us knowledge of different life skills.
C. To encourage us to make something important.
D. To ask us to develop creativity through small acts.
When you think of a terrible hunter, lions and sharks may first come to your mind. However, some scientists now find that humans are the most terrible hunters. Human activities even bring animals close to extinction. In the last 500 years, more than 300 types of animals have disappeared (消失). How do human activities make the wild animals in danger?
On one hand, hunting and fishing make the number of wild animals become smaller and smaller. Some people hunt animals just for food. It’s a real shame that people in some parts of the world often eat dolphin meat. What’s more, some hunt animals for fashion. Animal skin is used to make coats and bags. Still others hunt animals just for fun. They kill deer and enjoy the excitement of deer hunting.
On the other hand, building more farms or factories causes less and less space for wildlife. Many animals have no comfortable places to live, or enough food to eat. Humans also put animals in danger without going into their living areas. Because of serious pollution from ship traffic and other human activities, the number of wild animals drops greatly.
Luckily, now humans have known the importance of protecting wild animals and already taken action. Our government has made a 10-year fishing ban (禁渔令) on the Yangtze River. Fishermen once fished there for a living. They had to say goodbye to their old job because of the ban. Instead, some fishermen joined a team to clean up rubbish in the Yangtze River and report where to see finless porpoises (江豚). It’s glad to see so many people act to protect animals’ living areas. Keeping on protecting wildlife can make the earth a healthy and beautiful home.
33. The underlined word “extinction” in Paragraph 1 means “________”.
A. dying out B. going wrong C. giving up D. coming down
34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The lions and sharks are the most terrible hunters.
B. Humans hunt animals for food to make a living.
C. Animals live in their living areas without danger.
D. Humans should care about wild animals and protect them.
35. What’s the structure (结构) of this passage? (①-Paragraph 1)
A. B. C. D.

When you use a knife and fork, you have to take the knife with your right hand and the fork with your left hand, or you can’t put food into your mouth. But with chopsticks, you can solve the eating problems with just one hand. ____36____

VI. Reading and answering the questions(5小题,每小题2分,共10分)
Screen-Free Days
I remember the first time I suggested screen-free days in our school to some of our student leaders. Jokingly, I said to the group, “What do you think if we go a week without using our laptops or smartphones?”
They laughed, and one of them said, “No way, Mr. White. They would be too much.” I could feel their worry, and told them that I was only considering single screen-free days. Even that idea left them feeling upset.
According to a survey we did, most students in our school spend about six hours a day on screens. Many of my students start their day by checking their smartphones. I often see them looking at their phones when getting off the bus or at parents’ drop-off, they can’t use their own “screens” at school. They usually work on computers at school for at least two hours during the day.
It’s clear that our students spend a lot of time on screens. We do see the benefits of technology. However, we teachers also want to make sure that students have balanced learning and social experiences away from their screens. That’s why we have come up with the idea of screen-free days.
During the course of the year, we have built in several screen-free days that require us to make different plans for our students about how they will communicate with one another and the world around them without “screens”. For some teachers, this means bringing back a valuable lesson plan that has been put off for some time because it is “out of date”. Others have designed something completely new.
Fun activities, for example, card games and room escape(密室逃脱) games, are organized at school. In these activities, students socialize without smartphones and have face-to-face communication without checking on “likes” they’ve got online. These fun activities also make it possible for the whole grade to enjoy the company of their friends with no smartphones.
After our first screen-free day, students mentioned that they were surprised they enjoyed it. Finding ways to help our students connect with one another is important.
While technology is already part of our world, it shouldn’t play such an important role in a learner’s life.
66. How many hours do most students in the school spend on screens every day?

67. Why have the teachers come up with the idea of screen-free days?

68. What fun activities can the students have at school?

Choose the best answer according to the passage you read.
A
Below is the information about tennis and badminton that Natalie found on a website.
TENNIS
In the USA, tennis is a very popular racket sport. What you need for tennis are a racket for each player, a tennis ball and a tennis court. Tennis is played on a rectangle outdoor court.
However, it can also be played indoors to avoid the sunshine or the rain.
A tennis court is 78 feet long and 36 feet wide. There is a three-foot-tall net in the centre of the court. A racket is about 27-28 inches long and over 300 grams.
Tennis serves (发球) are overhead and underhand. If you can’t do it well for the first, you will have a second chance.
BADMINTON
For people in the USA, badminton is a backyard (后院) activity more than a sport. The things you need to play badminton are a racket for each player, a single shuttlecock (羽毛球), a net and a badminton court. Just like tennis, it is also a racket sport on a rectangle court in an indoor gym. A badminton court is 44 feet long and 20 feet wide. The net in a badminton court is about 5 feet tall. A badminton racket is about 26-27 inches long and 90 grams.
Badminton serves are underhand and below the waist (腰部). And if you hit the ball outside of the court or hit the net on the serve, you will lose the point.

In the minds of the Chinese, the moon is connected with gentleness and brightness, expressing their best wishes. On August 15 of the lunar calendar (阴历) each year, the moon is full and it’s time to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In traditional Chinese culture, the moon is a carrier of human emotions (情感). In ancient times, from royalty to the ordinary family, it was an important custom to appreciate the full moon during the festival. Adults usually enjoyed delicious mooncakes with a cup of hot tea, while children ran around with bright lanterns. After nightfall, whole families went out for a walk under the stars, looking up at the full moon and thinking of their relatives or friends, as well as those who were far from home. A line from a poem “The moon viewed at home is brighter” expresses those feelings.
Besides, with respect to the history of Chinese civilization (文明), China is the first nation to have the dream of flying to the sky. From the story of Chang’e to Dunhuang flying apsaras (飞天), all express Chinese ancestors’ desire to explore outer space. Many ancient Chinese poets also showed their preference for the moon through wonderful words. For example, the poet Li Bai wrote hundreds of poems about the moon during his lifetime.
The Chinese exploring moon project (探月工程), named after Chang’e, fully expresses this pursuit (追求) of the Chinese. The successful launch (发射) of Chang’e I not only laid the ground work for future exploration of the moon, but also made a long-held dream of the Chinese people come true.
25. What do Chinese people think of the moon?
A. The moon is a symbol of health and wealth.
B. The moon is not as bright as the sun.
C. The moon carries human emotions.
D. The moon viewed at home is brighter.

A. how ancient Chinese people celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival
B. when Chinese people celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival
C. what poems Chinese people wrote about the moon
D. why Chinese people celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival

Some people think creativity is making something completely new, so they do not think of themselves as creative ones. However, some other people think creativity can just be expressing themselves through everyday acts and they are born creative because it is not an all-or-nothing quality or skill.
Whether or not we realize it, we all have the ability to express creativity. Sometimes the path to creative productivity is being willing to do something different.
Are you someone who loves to read comics? Perhaps it is time you create one of your own. Don’t worry if you cannot draw very well or feel that you cannot write humorous reports for characters. Nobody says this is an exam! You only have to please yourself, to gain the satisfaction that you try something new, all on your own. If you feel easy, you can of course share it with your loved ones, or post it on social media
Are you someone who likes to express yourself in writing? Try writing a blog. This is like the new version of a diary. In your blog, you can write about your thoughts, opinions and experiences. You can also write stories or plays, if you feel up to it! The blog provides you with a platform to create something new every day, in written forms.
Are you someone who likes to be alone? Now, think about the things that make you happy. Find a small place in your room, or any place in your home, where you can spend time with yourself. It can be a small corner next to your bed or a wall. It can be a poster of your favorite rock star or photos of your friends. You can also pick a guitar if you like to play instruments, or a few storybooks if you love reading. Some of you may like flowers, candles or pretty things. Decorate your area with your favorite things in any way you like. That is creativity! And if you do feel bored with this, you can change, add or remove something.
By realizing the chances in our daily lives to inspire our creativity, no matter how small, we may become more comfortable with taking bigger creative leaps in other parts of our lives.

When you think of a terrible hunter, lions and sharks may first come to your mind. However, some scientists now find that humans are the most terrible hunters. Human activities even bring animals close to extinction. In the last 500 years, more than 300 types of animals have disappeared (消失). How do human activities make the wild animals in danger?
On one hand, hunting and fishing make the number of wild animals become smaller and smaller. Some people hunt animals just for food. It’s a real shame that people in some parts of the world often eat dolphin meat. What’s more, some hunt animals for fashion. Animal skin is used to make coats and bags. Still others hunt animals just for fun. They kill deer and enjoy the excitement of deer hunting.
On the other hand, building more farms or factories causes less and less space for wildlife. Many animals have no comfortable places to live, or enough food to eat. Humans also put animals in danger without going into their living areas. Because of serious pollution from ship traffic and other human activities, the number of wild animals drops greatly.
Luckily, now humans have known the importance of protecting wild animals and already taken action. Our government has made a 10-year fishing ban (禁渔令) on the Yangtze River. Fishermen once fished there for a living. They had to say goodbye to their old job because of the ban. Instead, some fishermen joined a team to clean up rubbish in the Yangtze River and report where to see finless porpoises (江豚). It’s glad to see so many people act to protect animals’ living areas. Keeping on protecting wildlife can make the earth a healthy and beautiful home.
33. The underlined word “extinction” in Paragraph 1 means “________”.
A. dying out B. going wrong C. giving up D. coming down
34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The lions and sharks are the most terrible hunters.
B. Humans hunt animals for food to make a living.
C. Animals live in their living areas without danger.
D. Humans should care about wild animals and protect them.
35. What’s the structure (结构) of this passage? (①-Paragraph 1)
A. B. C. D.
【答案】33. A 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,讲述了人类活动如何置野生动物于危险之中,以及政府为保护野生动物所采取的措施。

【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Keeping on protecting wildlife can make the earth a healthy and beautiful home”可知,保护野生动物可以让地球成为一个健康美丽的家园,因为人类应该关爱保护野生动物。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了贝多芬的著名钢琴曲《致爱丽丝》的创作背景、发现过程以及其持久流行的原因。
【56题详解】
句意:许多人可能听过世界上最著名的钢琴曲之一《致爱丽丝》,它是由德国作曲家贝多芬创作的。设空处需用过去分词作后置定语,修饰“piano pieces”,表示被动关系“被贝多芬创作的”。故填written。
【57题详解】
句意:他被一些人认为是有史以来最伟大的作曲家。主语“He”与“consider”之间是被动关系,故用被动语态be done,且全文为一般现在时,主语是he,be动词用is,consider的过去分词是considered。故填is considered。
【58题详解】
句意:这首曲子在他去世多年后才出版。根据时间逻辑,“出版”发生在“去世”之后,after“在……之后”符合语境。故填after。
【59题详解】
句意:尽管贝多芬在1810年创作了《致爱丽丝》,但直到1865年才被发现。“not…until”固定搭配,表示“直到……才”。故填until。
【60题详解】
句意:两年后它被出版,并迅速流行起来。“two years later”表示“两年后”,作时间状语。故填later。
【61题详解】
句意:有些人认为它可能是《致特蕾莎》。根据“Yet because Beethoven had terrible handwriting, others weren’t sure who it was dedicated to (献给).”可知,此处指过去一些人的看法,应是一般过去时,用过去式。故填thought。
【62题详解】
句意:但至今无人确切知道爱丽丝是谁。设空处引导宾语从句,且在从句中作主语,此处指“爱丽丝是谁”,who“谁”符合语境。故填who。
【63题详解】
句意:这是因为许多钢琴学生是由他们的老师介绍给他们的。后文解释流行的原因,需用连词连接因果。故填because。
【64题详解】
句意:例如,一些易于识别的音乐可以在广告和电影中听到。修饰形容词“recognizable”需用副词形式。故填easily。
【65题详解】
句意:谷歌报告称,迄今为止已有数百万次对这首钢琴曲的搜索。“up to now”提示用现在完成时have/has done,主语“Google”为单数,助动词用has,report的过去分词是reported。故填has reported。
VI. Reading and answering the questions(5小题,每小题2分,共10分)
Screen-Free Days
I remember the first time I suggested screen-free days in our school to some of our student leaders. Jokingly, I said to the group, “What do you think if we go a week without using our laptops or smartphones?”
They laughed, and one of them said, “No way, Mr. White. They would be too much.” I could feel their worry, and told them that I was only considering single screen-free days. Even that idea left them feeling upset.
According to a survey we did, most students in our school spend about six hours a day on screens. Many of my students start their day by checking their smartphones. I often see them looking at their phones when getting off the bus or at parents’ drop-off, they can’t use their own “screens” at school. They usually work on computers at school for at least two hours during the day.
It’s clear that our students spend a lot of time on screens. We do see the benefits of technology. However, we teachers also want to make sure that students have balanced learning and social experiences away from their screens. That’s why we have come up with the idea of screen-free days.
During the course of the year, we have built in several screen-free days that require us to make different plans for our students about how they will communicate with one another and the world around them without “screens”. For some teachers, this means bringing back a valuable lesson plan that has been put off for some time because it is “out of date”. Others have designed something completely new.
Fun activities, for example, card games and room escape(密室逃脱) games, are organized at school. In these activities, students socialize without smartphones and have face-to-face communication without checking on “likes” they’ve got online. These fun activities also make it possible for the whole grade to enjoy the company of their friends with no smartphones.
After our first screen-free day, students mentioned that they were surprised they enjoyed it. Finding ways to help our students connect with one another is important.
While technology is already part of our world, it shouldn’t play such an important role in a learner’s life.

AI in Our Life
Dear teachers and students,

That’s all. Thank you for your listening!
【答案】例文:
AI in Our Life
Dear teachers and students,
As we all know, AI has become more and more popular in our daily life and has changed our lives greatly. We can see all kinds of AI products in our daily life. For example, smartphones can make work and study more efficient. If we have any problems in our studies, we will ask smartphones for help. Cleaning robots can help with housework.
However, as AI technology is widely used, many workers lost their jobs. Also, some students rely on AI so much that they lose their ability to do things by themselves.
All in all, just as every coin has its two sides, AI products have both advantages and shortcomings. I believe that if we use AI correctly, it will bring greater convenience and progress to our society in the future.
That’s all. Thank you for your listening!

$$Mom, we've been waiting for that for an hour. I'm hungry. dear. We won't have dinner until he arrives. Question, what does the woman mean?
My grandmother's life was healthier in the past. Firstly, most students walked more than three miles to school every day, even in winter, but now parents always give their children to school. Secondly, people used to eat healthy homemade food. Now we are too busy to cook, so most people eat, take out food. Thirdly, in the past, children played sports in their free time, but now they spend much time playing computer or phone games. Fourthly, children think less than before. They don't have to remember too many things, their heads, because they can search on computers. My grandmother's life was healthier in the past.
