Around the second week of February, the setting sun hits the Horsetail Fall at just the right angle (角度) to light the upper parts of the waterfall. And when conditions are right, the Horsetail Fall becomes orange and red at sunset. It is like red-hot lava (熔岩) pouring down from the top of the El Capitan. So, it got the name “firefall”. The firefall is a perfect match of the weather, the fall, the time and the watching place. It usually appears on dry, warm and cloudless days. There must be enough flowing water to make a firefall too. So there must be enough snow on the mountain top, and it turns into water on warm afternoons. The sun goes to the best place before the fall in late February. And the best time to watch the fall is 5 to 15 minutes before the sunset. Only at this time can visitors see the firefall. The El Capitan Picnic Area is the best place to watch, because it is close to the fall and is perfect to set up cameras and tents. Every year in February, thousands of photographers come to watch the firefall. Although the view may appear just minutes before sunset, many of them have to come hours earlier to get a right place to set their cameras in time. “I’m just saying that the Yosemite Firefall is something you don’t want to miss during the winter,” says Kate Moore, a traveller and the lead content creator for ParkedInParadise.com. 1．Paragraph 1 mainly tells us ________. A．how the firefall got its name B．why it’s easy to see the firefall C．who was the first to find the firefall D．on which day we can visit the frefall 2．What can we know about the firefall? A．It lasts for half an hour before the sunset. B．It usually appears on wet, warm and cloudy days. C．Rivers provide enough flowing water to make a fall. D．Its best watching place is the El Capitan Picnic Area. 3．From the words of Kate Moore, we can infer that ________. A．the firefall is worth seeing B．it’s dangerous to watch the firefall C．the firefall brings little surprise D．it’s a waste of time to visit the firefall 4．What’s the theme of the passage? A．Art. B．Nature. C．Technology. D．History. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 4．B Passage 2 Wetlands are any land that is flooded with shallow water all or most of the time. They are a natural water holding system. There are many types of wetlands. Among them, bogs, marshes and swamps are the three main types. The different types of wetlands have different kinds of plants. Only mosses(苔藓)and a few other kinds of plants can grow in bogs. Grassy plants like cattails（香蒲）and reeds(芦苇)are the most common plants in a marsh. A swamp is a forest whose ground is underwater all or most of the time. Unlike bogs or marshes, a swamp is full of trees and bushes. It’s not a good idea to go exploring a swamp without a guide. There are hidden pools of water, thick mud, and sometimes big crocodiles(鳄鱼)looking for their next meal. Hungry crocodiles aren’t the only animals that make the wetlands their home. Otters, turtles, frogs, snakes and many other animals do too. The water is home to many kinds of fish and crabs. Birds, including ducks, geese and cranes, use wetlands seasonally during their long migrations. Wetlands are important because they provide habitats for plants and animals. A wetland system can also protect shorelines, make polluted waters clean, prevent floods, and restore underground water supplies. According to WWF, more than half of the world’s wetlands have disappeared since the beginning of the 20th century. If this continues, countless plant and animal species will surely die out. Without wetlands, cities have to spend more money treating water. Don’t feel helpless. Try to do your part to protect them right now. Here are some ideas. 5．According to Paragraph 2, what can you see in a swamp? A．Mosses. B．Cattails. C．Reeds. D．Trees. 6．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A．Wetlands are a man-made water holding system. B．There are three types of wetlands in the world. C．People can not meet with big crocodiles in wetlands. D．Wetlands can protect shorelines and prevent floods. 7．What is the writer probably going to talk about after Paragraph 5? A．What are the different types of wetlands? B．What will happen if wetlands disappear? C．What actions can people take to protect wetlands? D．What other kinds of plants and animals live in wetlands? 【答案】5．D 6．D 7．C 二、热点主题：航空航天——人类飞天梦想的实现。 Passage 1 BEIJING, May 28, 2024 (Xinhua News)—The Shenzhou-18 crew (全体工作人员) completed the first spacewalk of their mission (任务) at 6:58 p.m. (Beijing Time) on Tuesday, according to the CMSA (中国载人航天局).

They planned to steal a koala. Everybody loves koalas, right? With their big round eyes, flat noses, thick fur coat and hairy ears, these cute animals have become a popular symbol of Australia. However, appearances can be tricky. The koala at the zoo was very fierce. Soon the burglars had deep scratches (抓痕) from the koala’s sharp claws (爪), so they decided to steal something easier. They stole a crocodile instead! Koalas are interesting animals. A koala mother carries her baby, called a joey, in a warm pouch, or pocket, on her stomach. Koalas eat only the oily leaves of eucalyptus trees (桉树). These leaves are harmful to many other animals, but koalas eat about two and a half pounds (just over one kilo) every night. There is enough water in these leaves, so koalas do not drink very much. In fact, in one local Australian language the word koala means “no drink”. 15．What did the burglars steal in the end? A．A koala. B．A crocodile. C．A joey. D．A tree. 16．What will “fierce” animals probably do? A．They show politeness. B．They always feel hungry. C．They sleep all day long.

C．Koalas Beat Crocodiles! D．Koalas Prefer Oily Leaves! 【答案】15．B 16．D 17．B 18．A Passage 2 My friend Julie and I are keen on creating a beautiful green town. Gardening Course Every September, our city has a special festival. Crowds of happy people go to the park, waving ribbons in their hands. That’s because the gardening competition takes place there. For Julie and me, it was a pity that we couldn’t take part in the competition, for that was also the first day of our high school. We buried ourselves in choosing courses. We wanted to learn all about plants, gardening and farming. Finally, a course called Agriculture and Wildlife came into our sight. We thought it would help us succeed as gardeners. Project presentation After a year’s study, Julie advised me to give a presentation. There was a small plastic model of my idea on the table. On the other side of the table, my teachers were waiting to see my project—the green farm. “Good morning!” I said “During my studies I’ve learned a lot about city farming. Now. I want to do something with what I’ve learned.” I showed them the model. “This is the high street of our town. This is an old, nine-floor car park. No one has used it for the last two years and it’s now for sale.” I continued the presentation. They could see my designs on the big screen when I talked. “I’ve designed a city farm using the car park building. There will be eight floors to farm fruit and vegetables. This design can help us collect rainwater to wet the soil. And we can also use energy from the sun to power the special growing lights. “ “I will hire the space out to local people and they will sell everything good enough for the environment in local shops. Also, the ninth floor will be for those who want to grow their own plants.” My audience looked interested and my project got the highest marks in my class. But in the real world. it couldn’t happen because the car park was not available. ▲ Later, Julie helped me search the town for the perfect place for gardening, not in front of the Town Hall or the shopping centre. We tried to look for something different. Somewhere that was not the best neighbourhood, but a poor one. One where the road was full of holes and the pavement (人行道) was all broken. At last, we made it. In the neighbourbood, we posted letters through people’s doors with gardening instructions. More and more people cared about that and began to plant vegetable gardens. Then in the same neighbourhood, we put grass over those broken old pavements for the kids to play on. Finally, we put up a sign that said, “Have fun here.” When we finished, we were both covered in soil and completely exhausted. But Julie put an arm around my shoulders and smiled. “Not bad!” she said. “We can do more to make our town greener!”. 19．The writer mentioned the gardening competition to ________. A．change her gardening projects B．express her interest in gardening C．discuss ways to get good prizes D．tell stories of gardening courses 20．Which is the most suitable for ▲ ?

How can we stop air pollution? How can we live on a green planet? One way is to use clean energy. Clean energy does not harm the Earth. It never runs out. Energy from the Sun is clean. We just need to learn how to get and store more of it. Plants use energy from the Sun. They use it to turn water and air into sugar. The sugar can be used as food. Scientists know a lot about how plants make food. Some scientists want to get energy from the Sun like plants do. They want to make a machine that can use sunlight to make fuel (燃料) from water. Water is made up of two different parts. Breaking water into its parts is hard. Plants do it all the time, though. It is part of how they make food. With energy from the Sun, the new machine will break water into its parts. One of the parts will be used as fuel. Then the fuel is used to make electricity (电). The electricity can power cars, houses, and so on. This fuel is better for the Earth than gasoline (汽油). It does not pollute the air. Plants can help us learn how to make clean energy! 23．How does the writer start this article? A．By telling stories. B．By asking questions. C．By comparing facts. D．By giving examples. 24．What will the new machine do? A．Break water into its parts. B．Make some food from plants. C．Turn water and air into sugar. D．Produce sugar as new energy. 25．In which part of a magazine can we read the article? A．Health. B．Society. C．Science. D．History. 【答案】23．B 24．A 25．C Passage 2 Researchers are using an underwater drone (无人机) to get information on carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels in the ocean. It is believed to be the first time that such a device (装置) has been used purposely to test CO₂ levels. The device, which the team also calls a glider, is designed to go down to 1,000 meters in deep ocean areas and can operate for weeks at a time. The purpose of the research is to provide scientists with data (数据) about how climate change is influencing the ocean’s chemistry. The self-swimming drone was placed in the Gulf of Alaska this spring. Reporters from The Associated Press recently joined researchers on a boat in Alaska’s Resurrection Bay to see the drone in action. The team says the project could be a major step forward in measuring(测量) the environmental health of oceans. The scientists are most interested in levels of ocean acidification(酸性). This happens when CO₂ emissions(排放) in the air make their way into the ocean. Ocean acidification can harm or kill some kinds of sea life. Scientists have connected CO₂ emissions with global(全球) warming caused by human activities. In a way, oceans have given humans a helping hand by taking in(吸收) some of the CO₂. If there were no oceans’ uptake, there would be much more CO₂ in the air. This would trap more of the sun’s heat and further warm the Earth. “But the problem now is that the ocean is changing its chemistry because of this uptake,” said team member Claudine Hauri. One of the best ways to measure ocean acidification is to collect CO₂ measurements. Until now, these collections were mostly done from ships or with devices floating at the ocean surface or on the ocean floor. 26．What is probably this passage? A．An advertisement. B．Part of a news report. C．Part of a science fiction. D．A text from a chemistry textbook. 27．What do we know about a glider? A．It must be used together with floating devices. B．It is used to measure ocean acidification. C．It is used to stop CO₂ from entering the ocean. D．It is used to measure CO₂ levels in the air. 28．What does the underlined word “uptake” in Paragraph 6 most probably mean? A．The act of covering an area. B．The act of slowing something down. C．The act of taking something in. D．The act of killing or harming something. 29．What is troubling the scientists? A．The underwater drone can’t swim by itself. B．The drone can only last one week at a time. C．Oceans are stopping taking in CO₂ from the air. D．Too much CO₂ is making its way into oceans. 【答案】26．B 27．B 28．C 29．D 五、经典主题：时代的变迁。 Passage 1 Nora was feeling bad. She thought it was the worst week in her life. On Monday, she broke her new watch. On Tuesday, she fell off her bike. On Wednesday, she made a mess of her favorite skirt. On Thursday, she missed her piano lesson. On Friday. her mum worked late so she had to stay at school for one more hour! She went home and said to her mum, “My whole week was bad. And those bad things still stay in my mind. Why do I only remember something bad? There must be something wrong with me!” Mum smiled and said, “My girl! Don’t be angry with yourself. Everyone feels like that sometimes. Our mind remembers bad things because it wants to keep us safe. Bad feelings are not easy to leave. You need some practice to change your mind.” “What should I do?” Nora asked. “Take a few deep breaths and try to think about something happy,” Mum said. Nora took a few deep breaths as Mum told her to and tried to think of beautiful flowers and the blue sky. “Wow!” said Nora. “It’s quite easy to change my mind!” The next week, while Nora was walking to school, she knocked on a tree and fell over. She felt her face getting hot. She was going to get angry again. Just at the moment, she remembered Mum’s words and the mind-changing power! She took a deep breath and tried to feel the warm sun on her face. It worked! It really worked! She felt much better! “Well, I fell over,” she said, “But I also get to play outside, climb trees, and help my dad bake bread! Life is not that bad!” Then she smiled because she found the secret of being happy. 30．What did Nora break on Monday? A．Her piano. B．Her skirt. C．Her watch. D．Her bike. 31．Why does our mind always remember bad things? A．To keep us safe. B．To make us sad. C．To drive us mad. D．To get us prepared. 32．What happened to Nora on her way to school the next week?

I had my flashlight (手电筒) on under the sleeping bag. Maybe the light was why I couldn’t sleep, but I was too afraid to turn it off. What had happened kept coming back to my mind. When we got back to the camp, no one noticed we’d been gone. The teachers and all the other kids were still watching the movie. They didn’t know how something bad had just happened to me and Jack. It’s so strange how that can be, how you could have a night that’s the worst in your life, but to everybody else it’s just a usual night. Amos, Miles and Henry brought us back to our seats. Then they returned to their own seats. In a way, everything was exactly as we had left it. The sky was the same. The movie was the same. Everyone’s faces were the same. Mine was the same. But something was different. Something had changed. Home “So, do you want to hear about the bad part or the good part first?” I asked Mum. “Whatever you want to talk about,” she answered. “Well, except for last night, I had a fantastic time,” I said. “I feel like they ruined (毁坏) the whole trip for me.” “No, sweetie. Don’t let them do that to you. You were there for more than forty-eight hours, and that awful part lasted one hour. Don’t let them take that away from you, okay?” “I know.” I nodded. “But do I always have to worry about bad guys like that?

For the agriculture department, sustainable agriculture technology must be the new trend, and farmers should follow it. The following sustainable agriculture technologies are necessary. Smart irrigation Crops need water—that’s needless to say. However, how they get water is another story. With smart irrigation technology, water can be put to good use. New irrigation systems with smart technology can report soil moisture(湿度) and temperature in real time. These new technologies help farmers properly take care of crops in a more efficient way. For example, most crops have specific requirements for temperature and moisture. The new irrigation systems can show farmers whether they need to make changes for their crops’ growing environments. In this way, they may help reduce the waste of water. Drones Drones’ abilities get them a place on this list. They can do a lot and most importantly, they can make the boring and tiring farm work much easier. These devices have high-definition cameras that take pictures and videos. Through wireless control, just at home farmers can fly the drones over the fields and check on crops. If one area of crops isn’t doing well, farmers can quickly record the details and then spray chemicals with the help of the drones. Data and software Data is rich in this tech-driven world. Farming and data working together can greatly change the way farmers plant, harvest and water. As computers gather information, they report it all back to a central system. So when farmers learn in which area crop health needs to improve, they can use water and fertilizer(肥料) more efficiently, causing less waste. The three technologies are helpful for farmers to save costs, labor and energy. And they can contribute to the final goal of agricultural sustainability—that is to improve the environment. As these new technologies continue to develop, we are sure to have a cleaner environment. Sustainable agricultural technology is the future—and it will change the game. 39．According to the passage, smart irrigation can ________. A．make full use of every drop of rain B．decide crops’ growing environment C．help farmers water the crops when necessary D．support the growth and harvest of crops efficiently 40．From “Drones” part, we can learn that ________. A．drones can help provide water and fertilizer B．drones help farm work in a more efficient way C．farmers can fly in their drones to check on crops D．farmers can record the details about their drones 41．What is the final goal of agricultural sustainability? A．To help us have a better environment. B．To make farmers work more efficiently. C．To raise the production of crops quickly. D．To reduce farmers’ boring and tiring work. 42．The passage is mainly to ________. A．think highly of the agriculture department B．make sustainable agriculture technologies better C．change farmers’ misunderstanding of agriculture technologies D．stress the importance of sustainable technologies in agriculture 【答案】39．C 40．B 41．A 42．D Passage 2 Flying cars: flying high and reaching for the sky!

The following text was written by a reporter: He tried to find out whether social media has a positive or negative effect on children. 1. Social media websites are communities where users can share photos and talk to each other online. They are very popular—millions of people use social media every day. Although some people think social media is a positive thing, many are worried about the negative effects it can have on young people. 2. James, a 15-year-old student, thinks that social media has many benefits. “I get very nervous when I talk to people in real life—I find it so much easier to express myself when I use social media. Another advantage is that I hardly ever forget anyone’s birthday now because I can look it up online!” Lots of users agree that social media helps young people stay connected to their friends and make new friends from around the world. 3. However, social media also has many problems. Social media may help young people find friends, but it also makes it easier for bullies to hurt them. Some parents believe that social media makes it harder for families to spend time together. They say their children are so crazy about social media that they ignore (忽视) the rest of their family. Many teachers think social media can distract (使某人分心) their students from schoolwork. 4. There is no doubt that social media has some problems, and it is very important to avoid spending too much time online. However, generally speaking, social media can be a positive thing for young people. It is a way for nervous people to make friends and for young people to stay connected. 47．What docs the underlined word “They” in Paragraph I refer to? A．The photos shared online.

The museum is one of London’s best-kept secrets, and it’s well worth a visit. Sir John, a great architect (建筑师), lived in London during the 18th century (1753—1837), and the amazing thing is that his house is exactly the same as he left it. In fact, visiting the house is just like stepping back in time. There are three floors which are open to the public. You can start on the first floor. This was Sir John’s work area. You can ask the guards about the paintings on the walls as they tell you something about this family and life. And don’t worry about the guards as they are really nice and helpful. Next, you can go downstairs to the ground floor. Here you can see his rich collection of paintings. For example, there is a series (系列) of interesting paintings about 18th century life in London. Now comes the last part, the underground floor. It’s full of thousands of valuable objects, such as sculptures (雕塑) and models of famous buildings from all over the world. Walking around this part of the house is a bit like being on a treasure hunt, as you can find things hidden away in secret corners. Anyway, you’ll have to go there yourself to see. Sir John Soane’s Museum is a very small place. It’s only about ten minutes’ walk from the British Museum.

But Liu could not understand what she was trying to express with her gestures (手势) if Wang’s husband didn’t explain it. “Even as a child, I felt loved by her kind gesture, and thought it would be great if she could speak,” Liu said. Later she became a teacher in a special school where some students had the same problem as Wang. It was such a hard job that she was at a loss and thought about giving up at the beginning, but she didn’t as she thought of Wang’s pain on the face. Later, unluckily, Liu’s own 7-month-old son was also found to have the same problem, which shocked but never frightened Liu. Instead of getting her child treated in hospital, she decided to provide treatment for her son by herself after work. Since then, Liu could better understand the families with children like her son and put more efforts to help them live better in society. She started speaking rebuilding training by self-teaching. Thanks to Liu’s tireless efforts, her son and her students showed great improvement and some of them became successful later. Deng Liang, one of Liu’s first students, works now for a State-owned enterprise (企业) in Changsha. “Ms Liu taught me to be kind, optimistic (乐观的) and hard-working to build a better life, which has pushed me forward all these years,” he said. Liu Hanxiang, a famous dancer now, texted Liu Lungli a message thanking her for her efforts. “ Ms Liu, my performance today was a great success. I want to thank you. Without you, I would not have become who I am today.” Liu Lingli burst into tears when she read the message. For her contributions (贡献) to society, Liu Lingli received the award of Person Touching China for 2023. Liu said, “There is still a lot to do to ensure disabled people can find suitable jobs.

So in both East and West, people have festivals to celebrate family reunions(团聚). These festivals include the Mid-Autumn Festival in China and Thanksgiving Day in the US. How are they celebrated and what are the differences? Let’s take a look. Sharing the moonlight The Mid-Autumn Festival is the second most important traditional festival in China after the Spring Festival. It’s on the 15th day of the eighth month of Chinese lunar calendar. In ancient China, the day was considered as a harvest festival since fruits, vegetables and grain(谷物) had been collected from the fields. All the family got together and had a big dinner. They ate a special festival food-moon cakes and enjoyed the full moon. On that day, the moon is full. The full moon is a symbol for family reunions which mean tuanyuan in Chinese. Now people also celebrate the festival by getting together and having a big dinner. When it gets dark, people look up at the full moon, eating moon cakes and missing friends and relatives who are far from home. “We wish each other a long life so as to share the beauty of this graceful moonlight, even though miles apart!” wrote Su Shi, a famous Song Dynasty poet. Showing thanks Thanksgiving Day is one of the biggest holidays in the US. It’s on the fourth Thursday of November. People visit their friends and relatives to remind themselves that they are lucky to have happiness, health and family and also to have a roof over their heads. In 1621, about 100 English people took a ship, the Mayflower, and arrived in the northeastern US. The winter there was very cold and life was hard. As the American Indians helped them a lot, the English people asked them to have a big meal with then in order to express their thanks. The celebration lasted for three days. Today, people usually have a family meal on Thanksgiving Day. They enjoy delicious food such as pumpkin scorn and a big, golden turkey. There are other traditions on the day. For example, the turkey has a V-shaped bone in the breast. It’s called a wishbone. After roasting(烤), two persons each take one end of the bone. They make a wish and then pull it. If one gets the larger part of the bone, he or she will get good luck. The most important part of Thanksgiving Day is to say “thanks”— this is the spirit of the holiday. People also like to watch the Thanksgiving Day Parade on TV. 82．Why did people celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in ancient China? A．Because people could eat moon cakes. B．Because people enjoyed the full moon. C．Because people could get together with relatives.

As time goes by, the tea culture has developed greatly. In the Tang Dynasty, people not only drank tea, but also ate the tea leaves. That was why tasting tea was called “tea-eating”. In the Song Dynasty, the way people drank tea became romantic and was full of art. In the Ming Dynasty, tasting tea returned to its true nature of “drinking tea”. People put dry tea leaves in the cup and then poured boiled water into it before drinking. And in the Qing Dynasty, the tea culture finally came into common families. Drinking tea became part of their daily life. At the same time, there were more tea houses. Nowadays, making tea around a stove (围炉煮茶) has become popular among young people. This is a special way of drinking tea. Many young people like to choose a quiet and comfortable environment to make tea. While boiling tea, there must be delicate and tasty snacks like small oranges and sweet potatoes on the charcoal (炭) stove, satisfying people’s eyes and mouth. And beautiful cups and teapots would bring them more pleasure in mind. What they enjoy are art, spiritual world and the deep Chinese tea culture. Away from their busy work and life, they feel calm and peaceful in mind. In fact, people began to make tea around a stove in ancient times. Traditionally, about the art of making tea, the most important part is the types of tea, water quality, the control of fire, the choices of tea tools, and the skills of brewing (沏茶). In some ways, the art of making tea is a kind of communication between tea and people. As time passes by, Chinese tea culture continues to develop. Modern tea culture has mixed traditional and modern art and life, showing a more open and colorful culture. 86．When did people not only drink tea but also eat the tea leaves? A．In the Tang Dynasty. B．In the Song Dynasty. C．In the Ming Dynasty. D．In the Qing Dynasty. 87．What does the underlined word “delicate” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Boring. B．Attractive. C．Awful.

Interested in Chinese classical literature, Canadian artist Brandon Collins-Green or Lin Buran in Chinese expresses his understanding of A Dream of the Red Chamber by Cao Xueqin and Chinese poems through thousands of paintings. Often painting throughout the night, he has created more than 4,200 works. Living alone in the center of Nanchang, he has come a long way since he first came here in 2015 to study ancient Chinese literature. Brandon loves learning about the lifestyle of ancient Chinese people. “So far, I have read the novel three times, translated most of its poems, songs, lantern riddles (谜语), and dialogues into English, and completed over 1 million words of articles and 2,000 related paintings during my PhD studies,” said Brandon with pride and satisfaction. Timur Kuvatov, director-general and editor-in-chief of the Kazakhstan Today News Agency, is a Chinese kung fu fan. He has won kung fu championships a lot of times and also served as a coach for the Kazakhstan kung fu team. “Chinese kung fu is a treasure of Chinese culture. It is not just a sport but also reflects the Chinese way of dealing with people, their understanding of life, nature, and the world,” he said. Vincent Cazeneuve, known as Wensen Qi in Chinese, is a French artist devoted to lacquer (漆器) creation. He came to live in Chongqing in 2009. His works have been shown in art institutions both in and outside of China, and his fans have even collected some of them. What is the charm of Chinese culture that attracts these people? It lies in its richness and openness. Also its cultural background differences make foreigners curious about the lifestyles, way of thinking, and values of the country. 93．What has Brandon done to express his love for Chinese culture? A．He has created many famous Chinese poems. B．He has decided to move to China with his friends. C．He has written thousands of Chinese lantern riddles.

What you say to yourself, and how you say it, makes a difference to how you think, feel and behave, so it’s worth paying attention to it. Your inner voice is always with you. You might notice it when you make a mistake, when you try something new, or when you solve a problem. Sometimes it sounds kind but at other times it can sound mean or scared. Young people’s coach Maria Evans says it should be treated with kindness. “It gets scared when you think about doing something that feels hard. Often all it needs is to be listened to and spoken to with love and reassurance.” Your inner voice has an influence on you because you already pay attention to it. So what you say to yourself, and what you hear, sinks in. If you keep telling yourself you can’t do math or you’ re not good at making friends or you’ re not creative, over time you’ll believe what your inner voice is saying. When you talk to yourself like “I’ve got to tidy my room,” it makes the task feel harder. If instead you say, “I choose to tidy my room, and then I’ll be able to find the books I want easily,” it’s more positive (积极的). You’re telling yourself how you’ll get an advantage. Noticing what your inner voice says and choosing to talk encouragingly to yourself can help you feel more confident. For example, when you get things wrong, tell yourself it’s okay and you’ll learn for next time. Or when you do something challenging, congratulate yourself for being brave and having a try. If you’re not sure what to say, imagine you’re talking to your best friends and trying to support and help them inside your head. 97．Why should you notice your inner voice? A．It is always inside your head. B．It is different from your action. C．It influences your thoughts and behavior. D．It helps you try something new and hard. 98．What does the underlined word “reassurance” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．pride B．comfort C．joy D．humor 99．What will happen if you keep saying no to yourself? A．You’ll not be creative. B．You’ll meet math problems. C．You’ll make no friends. D．You’ll believe what you say. 100．What is an example of positive inner voice? A．“I’ve got to tidy my room.” B．“It’s hard to have a try.” C．“It’s okay to make mistakes.” D．“I have to find the books.” 101．What’s the best title for this passage? A．Talk Kindly to Yourself B．Make Friends for Yourself C．Look Deep inside Yourself D．Build Confidence by Yourself 【答案】97．C 98．B 99．D 100．C 101．A Passage 2 “I will never find time to learn this difficult lesson,” said Robert to Frank as they left school. “I can’t do it by tomorrow.” “You have ten minutes now before lunch. Why not begin immediately?” asked his brother. “Ten minutes! That’s nothing. Besides, I must have a run with my dog Rover now,” replied Robert. After lunch, the two boys walked to school again. Frank took out his book and began to learn part of it as he walked along. While Robert looked for birds in the trees all the way to school. “Come with us to play football!” shouted a group of school friends as they finished school for the day. Robert ran away with the boys. Frank promised to follow in 15 minutes, and took out his book once more. This done, he played with the boys, and enjoyed the game. The two brothers were tired that evening, and went to bed early. But when they returned to school the next day, Frank knew his lesson perfectly. However, Robert told the teacher that he did not have time to learn it. “How did you find time, Frank?” asked his teacher. “I had 10 minutes before lunch yesterday; 15 minutes as I walked back to school; and another 15 minutes before playing football. Then I looked over my lesson for 10 minutes before going to bed; and took 10 minutes before breakfast this morning to make it perfect.” “That makes an hour’s preparation,” replied his teacher. “Frank, you may run and play at break time. Robert, you will spend break time learning that lesson. And you will continue to do that until you have learnt this important lesson: those who take care of the minutes will have the hours to take care of themselves.” 102．Who played football with the boys after reading his book? A．Frank. B．Robert. C．Frank’s friend. D．Robert’s teacher. 103．What can we infer (推断) from the last paragraph? A．Robert didn’t play games any longer. B．Robert ran and played at break time. C．Robert may find time to learn that lesson. D．Robert may run with Rover after school. 104．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．Robert wasted a lot of time. B．We should learn to manage our time. C．Study is the most important of all activities. D．We should learn our lesson before playing. 【答案】102．A 103．C 104．B 十三、热点主题：饮食、运动与健康。 Passage 1 Eat Well, Live Well We eat food so that we have energy to run, jump and play. We should have plenty of different things. We should eat plenty of dairy products such as milk, cheese, and so on. Along with fish, beans and meat, dairy products make us strong. Do it! Look for low-fat milk and cheese. They are healthier. We should also eat enough grain products so that we have energy to work and play. Grain products include bread, rice and noodles. Do it! Eat a certain amount (数量) of grain products to keep fit. Fruit and vegetables keep us healthy. We should eat plenty of them at every meal. Do it! Try to eat fruit and vegetables in different colors every day. Don’t forget to drink water. We should drink 6-8 glasses of water every day so that our bodies work properly. 105．Which of the following is a kind of dairy products? A．Fish. B．Beans. C．Milk.

Not only that, he also set a new record with a time of 9. 83 seconds during the semi-finals of the event. This achievement showed his talent and speed on the world stage. Few runners in the world can even come close. Why some people can run very fast while others run more slowly? Genes (基因) play a role, but so do your choices and experiences. One mayor factor (因素) that influences your ability to run fast is how you are built, including how your muscles (肌肉) work. The human body has more than 600 muscles that work together. These muscles are made up of groups of fibers (纤维). There are two main types. One is mainly fast twitch (快缩肌), used for sprinting and similar sports. The other is mostly slow twitch, used for jogging and some types of sports at low speeds. Fast-twitch muscle fibers are larger. They help your body move quickly and produce serious force. Short﹣distance runners usually have plenty of fast﹣twitch muscle fibers. However, this muscle fiber type also tares quickly, so you can only run a short distance at the top speed. Slow-twitch muscle fibers are smaller and help you run at lower speeds, but with greater endurance. Long-distance runners usually have a lot of these muscles. How much you have of each type of muscle fibers mostly depends on your genes. But exercise can help train those muscles. Physical ability isn’t just about muscle. Your brain plays an important role, too. Your muscles are controlled by your brain. You can teach your body to use the best running techniques. That includes proper posture (姿势), so your body is standing tall. That also includes a proper step forward, so your feet land below you instead of landing too far in front, which can slow you down. Using proper running techniques helps the muscles create more force and work together, which helps you run faster. 110．Which of the following is the characteristic of fast-twitch muscle fibers? A．Larger. B．Smaller. C．Weak to produce power. D．Good for long-distance summers. 111．Which sport is suitable for people with more slow-twitch muscles? A．Sprinting. B．Marathon. C．High jump. D．110 m hurdles. 112．What does the underlined word “endurance” mean in Paragraph 4? A．The power to last long. B．The state to survive. C．The ability to stay calm. D．The quality to be patient. 113．Which is the best running posture? A． B． C． D． 114．In which magazine can you read the passage? A．Sports World B．Fashion Show C．Mysterious Space D．Healthy Diet 【答案】110．A 111．B 112．A 113．C 114．A Passage 3 What should you do when you can’t find the time to do a long workout? Have you heard of exercise snacks (零食式锻炼)? Exercise snacks are a popular and inventive new way for people to stay fit. Instead of spending hours on the playground, people break that “large meal” into exercise “snacks”. These exercises can last anywhere from 20 seconds to two minutes. Then you can have a rest for 30 minutes to four hours before another snack. It is reported that exercise snacks can be as useful as traditional exercise methods. Just three exercise snacks a day can benefit (使受益) your physical health. Besides that, there are lots of other benefits. Your concentration (专注力) and creativity get better, and you can become more productive. Also, “snacking” throughout the day stops you from sitting too long. There are so many acceptable exercise snacks, like doing sit-ups, jumping rope or running up and down some stairs (楼梯). But for those who don’t know where to start, here are some helpful exercise choices: Exercises such as lifting weights will satisfy the needs. Since most people don’t keep weights at their offices, lift full water bottles. Squats (深蹲) — moving your body as if to sit down while keeping your back straight. Five to ten of these should make a good snack. For those who don’t like traditional exercises, simply turn up the music. Pick a lively song and start dancing. It’ll make for a fun workout. What are you waiting for? Let’s get moving. Your body will thank you for it! 115．How long can an exercise snack last according to the passage? A．20 seconds to two minutes. B．30 minutes to four hours. C．Five to ten minutes. 116．Which is an acceptable exercise snack mentioned in the passage? A．Doing math exercises. B．Eating snacks. C．Doing sit-ups. 117．What is the writer’s attitude (态度) to exercise snacks? A．Doubtful. B．Unclear. C．Supportive. 118．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To change traditional eating habits. B．To introduce an inventive new way to stay fit. C．To encourage people to do long-time outdoor exercise. 【答案】115．A 116．C 117．C 118．B 十四、热点主题：校园活动。 Passage 1 Join Us!Different clubs make our school life colorful. Which one would you like to join?

As kids ran towards the campfire, Miss King turned to Quill, “I’ll leave for a while, just bring the kids watermelons and tell them a story.” “Sure.” said Quill, his hands becoming wet. Quill was good at showing kids how to climb rocks, but he was not a good storyteller. Quill asked in a low voice, “What kind of story do you like?” A boy named Caden answered, “A ghost story!” Alice rolled her eyes and other kids also shouted, “Quill will tell a lovely story, Caden.” “A ghost story!” Caden insisted. Just then, Quill felt a pull from Emma, the quietest in the group, “I’m afraid of ghost stories.” “What am I going to tell?” Quill thought and then said slowly, “I’m going to tell…a…a toast story.” Caden protested. “A toast story? I want a ghost story!” “You’ll see,” Quill said, “Long long ago, there was a piece of bread... named Bob.” Some kids smiled. Quill talked faster, “One day, Bob was put onto a wooden platform. Bob started crying.” “Bread can’t cry!” Caden shouted. Quill’s ears turned red. “What happened next?” Emma asked. Quill had no idea, but he quickly looked at Caden, “Cade n is going to tell us.” Caden sat up, “Am I?” “Yes, it’s a group story.” Quill answered. Caden said in a scaring voice, “Bob was sure this was the end of his day. Then, a long, shiny thing appeared over him.” “A knife!” Alice shouted. “Alice, it’s your turn.” Quill said. Alice added, “Then something dropped. The knife spread it all over Bob.” “Salad cream.” said Emma and pulled Quill’s T-shirt. Alice continued, “Suddenly, a giant hand lifted Bob towards a big hole. Bob screamed, ‘Help!’ ” Caden wanted to cut in, but Alice stopped him. Quill smiled at Emma. Emma took a deep breath, and said, “Bob screamed again. The hand was surprised and dropped Bob. Bob ran away.” “So, the bread is free.” Caden cut in. “Not finished!” Emma shouted, “Just then, a bread truck appeared. Bob ran towards it. But something big followed him.” “What was that?” a kid asked. Emma sat forward. Caden could feel his own breath, as if he was also there with Bob. SNAP! Emma clapped her hands. Everyone jumped up and asked, “What happened?” “A dog ate him.” Emma said, laughing. In the rest of the night, all the kids were talking about that dog. —Adapted from the story by Sara Matson 128．How did Quill feel when he was asked to tell a story? A．Excited. B．Nervous. C．Confident.

He did a couple of quick wake-up exercises and then he went over to his mirror (镜子) and looked at himself. “Not bad, Stone, not bad,” he said to himself and smiled. Maybe he wasn’t ready for Hollywood, but with his dark brown eyes and his thick brown hair, he had the looks that turned girls’ heads. He moved closer to the mirror and smiled, checking his teeth. “Perfect,” he thought. “Good enough for a toothpaste ad.” As his eyes moved down to his strong arms, he smiled again. The hours he spent in the gym and doing sit-ups have paid off. But suddenly, the smile froze. His eyes moved from the upper part of his body down to his legs. His legs were short. Not just short, but far too short for his body. He had the upper body of a six-footer, but because of his legs he was much less than six feet! Six inches less! Sitting, he was as tall as almost anyone. Standing, he had to look up at most of the boys and even many of the girls. Why didn’t his legs grow with the rest of his body? He was one of the shortest boys in his class. He was the shortest in his own family, he was even shorter than his “little” sister—by three inches! Where did his legs come from? He certainly didn’t get them from his parents. They were both quite tall. Looking through old family photos, he found the answer. It was his grandfather on his mother’s side. His short legs were a gift from Grandpa Tuttle. Thanks a lot, Grandpa! Of course, the kids at school all noticed Jay’s short legs and they had a nickname (外号) for him: Stubs! Almost no one called him by his real name; they all called him Stubs. Stubs Stone, Jay didn’t like his nickname, but he had to accept it. He had no choice. But Jay couldn’t see in the mirror what his legs could do. They were quick and strong. He was the youngest player on the Brewer High football team. He could run faster than anyone else in the team and, like a rabbit, he kept going and going. Even at basketball, where the other players were much taller than him, they were still afraid of him because of his speed. Jay shook his head. “Stubs, Stubs Stone, the kid with stubby legs. Yeah, that’s me,” he said to himself with a little smile. Suddenly, he heard his mother’s voice. “Jay! It’s breakfast time!” 132．What did Jay do after he got up on the Monday morning? A．He did some housework. B．He took some family photos. C．He watched TV for some time. D．He did some wake-up exercises. 133．What can we learn about Jay in paragraphs 2—4? A．He was satisfied with his looks. B．He wanted to be a film actor. C．He once played a role in an ad. D．He found it useless to do sit-ups. 134．What does the underlined word “froze” probably mean in paragraph 5? A．Spread. B．Stopped. C．Continued. D．Returned. 135．Which of the following best describes Jay? A．Strict and serious. B．Clever and helpful. C．Funny and confident. D．Patient and hard-working. 136．What does the writer mainly want to tell in the passage? A．Teenagers like to play tricks on each other. B．Teenagers should have dreams in their hearts. C．People’s legs usually grow with other body parts. D．People can turn their weak points into advantages. 【答案】132．D 133．A 134．B 135．C 136．D 试卷第48页，共48页 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！3 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题07中考阅读单选分类强化练（十五大类） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 考点目录 一、经典主题:美好的自然景观。 1 二、热点主题：航空航天——人类飞天梦想的实现。 3 三、高频主题：人与动植物的和谐相处。 6 四、热点主题：环境的污染与防护。 9 五、经典主题：时代的变迁。 11 六、经典主题：发明与创造——人类进步的源泉 13 七、超级热点话题：网络信息安全及网络与青少年的成长冲突。 16 八、交通与旅游——享受大自然的杰作，品不同地区的风俗文化。 18 九、著名人物——学习的榜样。 21 十、经典考点：节日庆祝。 24 十一、永恒主题：中华优秀文化的弘扬。 26 十二、永恒主题：哲理感悟类。 30 十三、热点主题：饮食、运动与健康。 32 十四、热点主题：校园活动。 36 十五、永恒主题：亲人与朋友——人类独特的美好情感。 39 小贴士 满分建议 1. 放平心态，不怕生词。 2. 每次训练，虽少却精。 3. 每天坚持，源头活水。 4. 限时阅读，提高速度 阅读单选四种经典题型： 主旨大意型；事实细节型；推 理 判 断 型；词 义 猜 测 型。 一、主旨大意题：要求在理解全文的基础上对全文进行高度概括或总结。 常见考法： 1．主题型： What’s the main idea of this passage ? （这篇文章的主要思想是什么？） What does this passage mainly discuss? （这篇文章主要讨论了什么？） What’s the topic of this passage ? （这篇文章的主题是什么？） 2．标题型： What’s the best title?（最佳的标题是什么？） The best title for this text is (to tell ) ______. （这段文字的最佳标题是_____)The main purpose of this text is ______.(这段文字的主要目的是？） 3．目的型： The author’s purpose of writing this text is to______.（作者写这段文字的主要目的是？） What’s the main purpose of the passage?（这篇文章的主要目的是？） 二、细节理解题 做这种题目要注意注意提干中的标识语，带着问题有目的地寻找某一特定信息。题干中的标识语就是寻找答案的"路标词"，如人物/时间/地点等。 常见题型： 1、Which of the following statements is true?（下列哪个陈述是正确的？） 2、Which of the following is not mentioned in the text?（文中没有提到下列哪一项？） 3、The author ( or the passage) states that___.（作者（文章）指出____） 4、According to the passage, when ( where, why, how, who, what, which, etc.)___?（根据文章，什么时候（哪里，为什么，如何，谁，什么，哪个等等）____） 三、推理判断题 重点题型，通常占总题目的30%左右。着重考查学生归纳概括、逻辑推理等综合能力。以原文内容为前提，要求你在理解文章直接陈述的观点或描述的事实的基础上，据作者的观点理论（非考生观点），理解作者的言外之意（implied meaning)。透过现象看本质，领悟作者思想倾向、观点、立场、语气及态度等。 1、The passage implies (暗示) that_______.（文章暗示了____) 2、We can conclude (得出结论) from the passage that_____.(我们能从文章中得出的结论是_____） 3、Which of the following can be inferred (推论)?（可以得出哪个推论？） 4、What is the tone (语气)/attitude(态度) of the author?（作者的语气/态度是什么？） 5、What is the purpose (目的) of this passage?（这篇文章的目的是什么？） 6、The passage is intended to _____.（文章的目的是_____) 7、Where would this passage most probably appear?

Around the second week of February, the setting sun hits the Horsetail Fall at just the right angle (角度) to light the upper parts of the waterfall. And when conditions are right, the Horsetail Fall becomes orange and red at sunset. It is like red-hot lava (熔岩) pouring down from the top of the El Capitan. So, it got the name “firefall”. The firefall is a perfect match of the weather, the fall, the time and the watching place. It usually appears on dry, warm and cloudless days. There must be enough flowing water to make a firefall too. So there must be enough snow on the mountain top, and it turns into water on warm afternoons. The sun goes to the best place before the fall in late February. And the best time to watch the fall is 5 to 15 minutes before the sunset. Only at this time can visitors see the firefall. The El Capitan Picnic Area is the best place to watch, because it is close to the fall and is perfect to set up cameras and tents. Every year in February, thousands of photographers come to watch the firefall. Although the view may appear just minutes before sunset, many of them have to come hours earlier to get a right place to set their cameras in time. “I’m just saying that the Yosemite Firefall is something you don’t want to miss during the winter,” says Kate Moore, a traveller and the lead content creator for ParkedInParadise.com. 1．Paragraph 1 mainly tells us ________. A．how the firefall got its name B．why it’s easy to see the firefall C．who was the first to find the firefall D．on which day we can visit the frefall 2．What can we know about the firefall? A．It lasts for half an hour before the sunset. B．It usually appears on wet, warm and cloudy days. C．Rivers provide enough flowing water to make a fall. D．Its best watching place is the El Capitan Picnic Area. 3．From the words of Kate Moore, we can infer that ________. A．the firefall is worth seeing B．it’s dangerous to watch the firefall C．the firefall brings little surprise D．it’s a waste of time to visit the firefall 4．What’s the theme of the passage? A．Art. B．Nature. C．Technology. D．History. Passage 2 Wetlands are any land that is flooded with shallow water all or most of the time. They are a natural water holding system. There are many types of wetlands. Among them, bogs, marshes and swamps are the three main types. The different types of wetlands have different kinds of plants. Only mosses(苔藓)and a few other kinds of plants can grow in bogs. Grassy plants like cattails（香蒲）and reeds(芦苇)are the most common plants in a marsh. A swamp is a forest whose ground is underwater all or most of the time. Unlike bogs or marshes, a swamp is full of trees and bushes. It’s not a good idea to go exploring a swamp without a guide. There are hidden pools of water, thick mud, and sometimes big crocodiles(鳄鱼)looking for their next meal. Hungry crocodiles aren’t the only animals that make the wetlands their home. Otters, turtles, frogs, snakes and many other animals do too. The water is home to many kinds of fish and crabs. Birds, including ducks, geese and cranes, use wetlands seasonally during their long migrations. Wetlands are important because they provide habitats for plants and animals. A wetland system can also protect shorelines, make polluted waters clean, prevent floods, and restore underground water supplies. According to WWF, more than half of the world’s wetlands have disappeared since the beginning of the 20th century. If this continues, countless plant and animal species will surely die out. Without wetlands, cities have to spend more money treating water. Don’t feel helpless. Try to do your part to protect them right now. Here are some ideas. 5．According to Paragraph 2, what can you see in a swamp? A．Mosses. B．Cattails. C．Reeds. D．Trees. 6．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A．Wetlands are a man-made water holding system. B．There are three types of wetlands in the world. C．People can not meet with big crocodiles in wetlands. D．Wetlands can protect shorelines and prevent floods. 7．What is the writer probably going to talk about after Paragraph 5? A．What are the different types of wetlands? B．What will happen if wetlands disappear? C．What actions can people take to protect wetlands? D．What other kinds of plants and animals live in wetlands? 二、热点主题：航空航天——人类飞天梦想的实现。 Passage 1 BEIJING, May 28, 2024 (Xinhua News)—The Shenzhou-18 crew (全体工作人员) completed the first spacewalk of their mission (任务) at 6:58 p.m. (Beijing Time) on Tuesday, according to the CMSA (中国载人航天局). The two members of the Shenzhou-18, Ye Guangfu and Li Guangsu, started their spacewalk. They worked outside the Tiangong space station for nearly 8.5 hours. With the help of space equipment (设备) and a team on Earth, they successfully completed many tasks during their spacewalk, including some difficult fixing tasks. Now they have returned to the Wentian lab module (实验舱). The third crew member, Li Cong, stayed inside Tiangong to provide support. The Shenzhou-18 crew has set a new record for the longest single spacewalk by Chinese astronauts. This marked Ye’s second time to have a spacewalk, and his first spacewalk was in the Shenzhou-13 mission, but this is the first time for Li Guangsu to start a spacewalk.

They planned to steal a koala. Everybody loves koalas, right? With their big round eyes, flat noses, thick fur coat and hairy ears, these cute animals have become a popular symbol of Australia. However, appearances can be tricky. The koala at the zoo was very fierce. Soon the burglars had deep scratches (抓痕) from the koala’s sharp claws (爪), so they decided to steal something easier. They stole a crocodile instead! Koalas are interesting animals. A koala mother carries her baby, called a joey, in a warm pouch, or pocket, on her stomach. Koalas eat only the oily leaves of eucalyptus trees (桉树). These leaves are harmful to many other animals, but koalas eat about two and a half pounds (just over one kilo) every night. There is enough water in these leaves, so koalas do not drink very much. In fact, in one local Australian language the word koala means “no drink”. 15．What did the burglars steal in the end?

Crowds of happy people go to the park, waving ribbons in their hands. That’s because the gardening competition takes place there. For Julie and me, it was a pity that we couldn’t take part in the competition, for that was also the first day of our high school. We buried ourselves in choosing courses. We wanted to learn all about plants, gardening and farming. Finally, a course called Agriculture and Wildlife came into our sight. We thought it would help us succeed as gardeners. Project presentation After a year’s study, Julie advised me to give a presentation. There was a small plastic model of my idea on the table. On the other side of the table, my teachers were waiting to see my project—the green farm. “Good morning!” I said “During my studies I’ve learned a lot about city farming. Now. I want to do something with what I’ve learned.” I showed them the model. “This is the high street of our town. This is an old, nine-floor car park. No one has used it for the last two years and it’s now for sale.” I continued the presentation. They could see my designs on the big screen when I talked. “I’ve designed a city farm using the car park building. There will be eight floors to farm fruit and vegetables. This design can help us collect rainwater to wet the soil. And we can also use energy from the sun to power the special growing lights. “ “I will hire the space out to local people and they will sell everything good enough for the environment in local shops. Also, the ninth floor will be for those who want to grow their own plants.” My audience looked interested and my project got the highest marks in my class. But in the real world. it couldn’t happen because the car park was not available. ▲ Later, Julie helped me search the town for the perfect place for gardening, not in front of the Town Hall or the shopping centre. We tried to look for something different. Somewhere that was not the best neighbourhood, but a poor one. One where the road was full of holes and the pavement (人行道) was all broken. At last, we made it. In the neighbourbood, we posted letters through people’s doors with gardening instructions. More and more people cared about that and began to plant vegetable gardens. Then in the same neighbourhood, we put grass over those broken old pavements for the kids to play on. Finally, we put up a sign that said, “Have fun here.” When we finished, we were both covered in soil and completely exhausted. But Julie put an arm around my shoulders and smiled. “Not bad!” she said. “We can do more to make our town greener!”. 19．The writer mentioned the gardening competition to ________.

How can we stop air pollution? How can we live on a green planet? One way is to use clean energy. Clean energy does not harm the Earth. It never runs out. Energy from the Sun is clean. We just need to learn how to get and store more of it. Plants use energy from the Sun. They use it to turn water and air into sugar. The sugar can be used as food. Scientists know a lot about how plants make food. Some scientists want to get energy from the Sun like plants do. They want to make a machine that can use sunlight to make fuel (燃料) from water. Water is made up of two different parts. Breaking water into its parts is hard. Plants do it all the time, though. It is part of how they make food. With energy from the Sun, the new machine will break water into its parts. One of the parts will be used as fuel. Then the fuel is used to make electricity (电). The electricity can power cars, houses, and so on. This fuel is better for the Earth than gasoline (汽油). It does not pollute the air. Plants can help us learn how to make clean energy! 23．How does the writer start this article? A．By telling stories. B．By asking questions. C．By comparing facts. D．By giving examples. 24．What will the new machine do? A．Break water into its parts. B．Make some food from plants. C．Turn water and air into sugar. D．Produce sugar as new energy. 25．In which part of a magazine can we read the article? A．Health. B．Society. C．Science. D．History. Passage 2 Researchers are using an underwater drone (无人机) to get information on carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels in the ocean. It is believed to be the first time that such a device (装置) has been used purposely to test CO₂ levels. The device, which the team also calls a glider, is designed to go down to 1,000 meters in deep ocean areas and can operate for weeks at a time. The purpose of the research is to provide scientists with data (数据) about how climate change is influencing the ocean’s chemistry. The self-swimming drone was placed in the Gulf of Alaska this spring. Reporters from The Associated Press recently joined researchers on a boat in Alaska’s Resurrection Bay to see the drone in action. The team says the project could be a major step forward in measuring(测量) the environmental health of oceans. The scientists are most interested in levels of ocean acidification(酸性). This happens when CO₂ emissions(排放) in the air make their way into the ocean. Ocean acidification can harm or kill some kinds of sea life. Scientists have connected CO₂ emissions with global(全球) warming caused by human activities. In a way, oceans have given humans a helping hand by taking in(吸收) some of the CO₂. If there were no oceans’ uptake, there would be much more CO₂ in the air. This would trap more of the sun’s heat and further warm the Earth. “But the problem now is that the ocean is changing its chemistry because of this uptake,” said team member Claudine Hauri. One of the best ways to measure ocean acidification is to collect CO₂ measurements. Until now, these collections were mostly done from ships or with devices floating at the ocean surface or on the ocean floor. 26．What is probably this passage? A．An advertisement. B．Part of a news report. C．Part of a science fiction. D．A text from a chemistry textbook. 27．What do we know about a glider? A．It must be used together with floating devices. B．It is used to measure ocean acidification. C．It is used to stop CO₂ from entering the ocean. D．It is used to measure CO₂ levels in the air. 28．What does the underlined word “uptake” in Paragraph 6 most probably mean? A．The act of covering an area. B．The act of slowing something down. C．The act of taking something in. D．The act of killing or harming something. 29．What is troubling the scientists? A．The underwater drone can’t swim by itself. B．The drone can only last one week at a time. C．Oceans are stopping taking in CO₂ from the air. D．Too much CO₂ is making its way into oceans. 五、经典主题：时代的变迁。 Passage 1 Nora was feeling bad. She thought it was the worst week in her life. On Monday, she broke her new watch. On Tuesday, she fell off her bike. On Wednesday, she made a mess of her favorite skirt. On Thursday, she missed her piano lesson. On Friday. her mum worked late so she had to stay at school for one more hour! She went home and said to her mum, “My whole week was bad. And those bad things still stay in my mind. Why do I only remember something bad? There must be something wrong with me!” Mum smiled and said, “My girl! Don’t be angry with yourself. Everyone feels like that sometimes. Our mind remembers bad things because it wants to keep us safe. Bad feelings are not easy to leave. You need some practice to change your mind.” “What should I do?” Nora asked. “Take a few deep breaths and try to think about something happy,” Mum said. Nora took a few deep breaths as Mum told her to and tried to think of beautiful flowers and the blue sky. “Wow!” said Nora. “It’s quite easy to change my mind!” The next week, while Nora was walking to school, she knocked on a tree and fell over. She felt her face getting hot. She was going to get angry again. Just at the moment, she remembered Mum’s words and the mind-changing power! She took a deep breath and tried to feel the warm sun on her face. It worked! It really worked! She felt much better! “Well, I fell over,” she said, “But I also get to play outside, climb trees, and help my dad bake bread!

Passage 2 Sleep I’d been reading for over an hour and sleep still didn’t come. It was almost two a. m. Everyone else was asleep. I had my flashlight (手电筒) on under the sleeping bag. Maybe the light was why I couldn’t sleep, but I was too afraid to turn it off. What had happened kept coming back to my mind. When we got back to the camp, no one noticed we’d been gone. The teachers and all the other kids were still watching the movie. They didn’t know how something bad had just happened to me and Jack. It’s so strange how that can be, how you could have a night that’s the worst in your life, but to everybody else it’s just a usual night. Amos, Miles and Henry brought us back to our seats. Then they returned to their own seats. In a way, everything was exactly as we had left it. The sky was the same. The movie was the same. Everyone’s faces were the same. Mine was the same. But something was different. Something had changed. Home “So, do you want to hear about the bad part or the good part first?” I asked Mum. “Whatever you want to talk about,” she answered. “Well, except for last night, I had a fantastic time,” I said. “I feel like they ruined (毁坏) the whole trip for me.” “No, sweetie. Don’t let them do that to you. You were there for more than forty-eight hours, and that awful part lasted one hour. Don’t let them take that away from you, okay?” “I know.” I nodded. “But do I always have to worry about bad guys like that? Like when I grow up, is it always going to be like this?” “There are always going to be bad guys in the world, Auggie,” she said, looking at me. “But I really believe there are more good people on this earth than bad people, and the good people watch out for each other and take care of each other. Just like Jack was there for you. And Amos. And those other kids.” “Oh yeah, Miles and Henry,” I answered. “They were amazing, too. It’s very strange because Miles and Henry haven’t even really been very nice to me at all during the year.” “Sometimes people surprise us,” she said, rubbing the top of my head. 35．Why couldn’t Auggie fall asleep? A．He kept thinking about something. B．He was doing bedtime reading. C．He was looking for his flashlight.

For the agriculture department, sustainable agriculture technology must be the new trend, and farmers should follow it. The following sustainable agriculture technologies are necessary. Smart irrigation Crops need water—that’s needless to say. However, how they get water is another story. With smart irrigation technology, water can be put to good use. New irrigation systems with smart technology can report soil moisture(湿度) and temperature in real time. These new technologies help farmers properly take care of crops in a more efficient way. For example, most crops have specific requirements for temperature and moisture. The new irrigation systems can show farmers whether they need to make changes for their crops’ growing environments. In this way, they may help reduce the waste of water. Drones Drones’ abilities get them a place on this list. They can do a lot and most importantly, they can make the boring and tiring farm work much easier. These devices have high-definition cameras that take pictures and videos. Through wireless control, just at home farmers can fly the drones over the fields and check on crops. If one area of crops isn’t doing well, farmers can quickly record the details and then spray chemicals with the help of the drones. Data and software Data is rich in this tech-driven world. Farming and data working together can greatly change the way farmers plant, harvest and water. As computers gather information, they report it all back to a central system. So when farmers learn in which area crop health needs to improve, they can use water and fertilizer(肥料) more efficiently, causing less waste. The three technologies are helpful for farmers to save costs, labor and energy. And they can contribute to the final goal of agricultural sustainability—that is to improve the environment. As these new technologies continue to develop, we are sure to have a cleaner environment. Sustainable agricultural technology is the future—and it will change the game. 39．According to the passage, smart irrigation can ________. A．make full use of every drop of rain B．decide crops’ growing environment C．help farmers water the crops when necessary D．support the growth and harvest of crops efficiently 40．From “Drones” part, we can learn that ________. A．drones can help provide water and fertilizer B．drones help farm work in a more efficient way C．farmers can fly in their drones to check on crops D．farmers can record the details about their drones 41．What is the final goal of agricultural sustainability? A．To help us have a better environment. B．To make farmers work more efficiently. C．To raise the production of crops quickly. D．To reduce farmers’ boring and tiring work. 42．The passage is mainly to ________. A．think highly of the agriculture department B．make sustainable agriculture technologies better C．change farmers’ misunderstanding of agriculture technologies D．stress the importance of sustainable technologies in agriculture Passage 2 Flying cars: flying high and reaching for the sky! Traffic jam is almost every driver’s headache. So it’s not surprising to see why the idea of turning cars into flying machines has been popular for years.

The following text was written by a reporter: He tried to find out whether social media has a positive or negative effect on children. 1. Social media websites are communities where users can share photos and talk to each other online. They are very popular—millions of people use social media every day. Although some people think social media is a positive thing, many are worried about the negative effects it can have on young people. 2. James, a 15-year-old student, thinks that social media has many benefits. “I get very nervous when I talk to people in real life—I find it so much easier to express myself when I use social media. Another advantage is that I hardly ever forget anyone’s birthday now because I can look it up online!” Lots of users agree that social media helps young people stay connected to their friends and make new friends from around the world. 3. However, social media also has many problems. Social media may help young people find friends, but it also makes it easier for bullies to hurt them. Some parents believe that social media makes it harder for families to spend time together. They say their children are so crazy about social media that they ignore (忽视) the rest of their family. Many teachers think social media can distract (使某人分心) their students from schoolwork. 4. There is no doubt that social media has some problems, and it is very important to avoid spending too much time online. However, generally speaking, social media can be a positive thing for young people. It is a way for nervous people to make friends and for young people to stay connected. 47．What docs the underlined word “They” in Paragraph I refer to? A．The photos shared online. B．The social media users. C．The social media websites. 48．What does James think of social media? A．It makes him ignore his family. B．It distracts him from schoolwork. C．It helps him express himself better. 49．Which is the correct structure of this text? (P1=Paragraph 1) A． B． C． 50．Which can be the best title for the text? A．Why Is Social Media So Popular? B．Is Social Media Really a Problem? C．What Is the Future of Social Media? Passage 2 The Internet is often used to buy and sell products, pay bills, and communicate with people. But how safe is it when you use the Internet? Our magazine Interactions asked some Internet users about their experiences. Linda, 29, nurse: I pay all my bills online. One day, I received an email from my bank. It told me that someone was trying to take out money from my account (账号), so I should email my password (密码) to the “bank manager”. I felt something was wrong, so I called my bank and asked about the email. The bank said they never sent it. I realised that someone tried to cheat (欺骗) me of my money. I’ll continue paying my bills this way, but I’ll be more careful. Emily, 22, office worker: I was at work, and I sent an email to a friend of mine. I was telling her about my problems with Mark, the manager. A few minutes later, a friend of Mark’s came over to my desk. He said, “So you think Mark is too strict?” My face was red. I chose the wrong name on my address list. It was my own fault, so I’ll look over my emails more carefully before I click “Send” next time. Thomas, 21, university student: I love the Internet! I look up lots of information online. I often buy things on the websites—furniture, clothes, CDs, even foods. I have also sold some of my things on the Internet. I only use the websites I trust and I’ve never had a safety problem. 51．Where is the passage taken from? A．A diary. B．A novel. C．A magazine.

They come from Texas, USA．The two friends are in their 80s. They did a big thing months ago. They took a world trip in just over two and a half months. Hazelip said that she wanted to start the trip in 2021. After reading the book Around the World in 80 Days, she thought it would be fun for Hamby and her to go around the world in 80 days at age 80.

The museum is one of London’s best-kept secrets, and it’s well worth a visit. Sir John, a great architect (建筑师), lived in London during the 18th century (1753—1837), and the amazing thing is that his house is exactly the same as he left it. In fact, visiting the house is just like stepping back in time. There are three floors which are open to the public. You can start on the first floor. This was Sir John’s work area. You can ask the guards about the paintings on the walls as they tell you something about this family and life. And don’t worry about the guards as they are really nice and helpful. Next, you can go downstairs to the ground floor. Here you can see his rich collection of paintings. For example, there is a series (系列) of interesting paintings about 18th century life in London. Now comes the last part, the underground floor. It’s full of thousands of valuable objects, such as sculptures (雕塑) and models of famous buildings from all over the world. Walking around this part of the house is a bit like being on a treasure hunt, as you can find things hidden away in secret corners. Anyway, you’ll have to go there yourself to see. Sir John Soane’s Museum is a very small place. It’s only about ten minutes’ walk from the British Museum.

Four Chinese irrigation sites (灌溉点) were added to the 2018 list of World Heritage Irrigation Structures (世界灌溉工程遗产). Let’s take a look at these amazing sites. Dujiangyan Dujiangyan is a wonder in the world history of irrigation structures. More than 2, 000 years ago, Chengdu was in danger because of flood from the Minjiang River. Li Bing, a local official, designed the Dujiangyan irrigation system, which could control the water run from the mountains to the Chengdu Plain all year round. Changqu Canal Changqu Canal, also known as Baiqi Canal, is in the city of Xiangyang in Hubei province. It is 48 km long in total and it was first used to transport soldiers. It was later used for irrigation—in fact, it is still used to provide water to more than 30, 000 mu (20 square km) of farmland. Lingqu Canal Located in Xing’an county, Guangxi Province, Lingqu Canal was built 2, 000 years ago. It is the oldest canal in the world. It was built to transport things for the army. “It magically lowers the pressure of transportation along the north and south waterways,” according to the Travel China Guide. It also turned Xing’ an into an agriculturally (农业) developed area. Jiang- Xi Dam The Jiang- Xi Dam in Zhejiang province in fact includes two dams— the Jiang and Xi dams.

But Liu could not understand what she was trying to express with her gestures (手势) if Wang’s husband didn’t explain it. “Even as a child, I felt loved by her kind gesture, and thought it would be great if she could speak,” Liu said. Later she became a teacher in a special school where some students had the same problem as Wang. It was such a hard job that she was at a loss and thought about giving up at the beginning, but she didn’t as she thought of Wang’s pain on the face. Later, unluckily, Liu’s own 7-month-old son was also found to have the same problem, which shocked but never frightened Liu. Instead of getting her child treated in hospital, she decided to provide treatment for her son by herself after work. Since then, Liu could better understand the families with children like her son and put more efforts to help them live better in society. She started speaking rebuilding training by self-teaching. Thanks to Liu’s tireless efforts, her son and her students showed great improvement and some of them became successful later. Deng Liang, one of Liu’s first students, works now for a State-owned enterprise (企业) in Changsha. “Ms Liu taught me to be kind, optimistic (乐观的) and hard-working to build a better life, which has pushed me forward all these years,” he said.

So in both East and West, people have festivals to celebrate family reunions(团聚). These festivals include the Mid-Autumn Festival in China and Thanksgiving Day in the US. How are they celebrated and what are the differences? Let’s take a look. Sharing the moonlight The Mid-Autumn Festival is the second most important traditional festival in China after the Spring Festival. It’s on the 15th day of the eighth month of Chinese lunar calendar. In ancient China, the day was considered as a harvest festival since fruits, vegetables and grain(谷物) had been collected from the fields. All the family got together and had a big dinner. They ate a special festival food-moon cakes and enjoyed the full moon. On that day, the moon is full. The full moon is a symbol for family reunions which mean tuanyuan in Chinese. Now people also celebrate the festival by getting together and having a big dinner. When it gets dark, people look up at the full moon, eating moon cakes and missing friends and relatives who are far from home. “We wish each other a long life so as to share the beauty of this graceful moonlight, even though miles apart!” wrote Su Shi, a famous Song Dynasty poet. Showing thanks Thanksgiving Day is one of the biggest holidays in the US. It’s on the fourth Thursday of November. People visit their friends and relatives to remind themselves that they are lucky to have happiness, health and family and also to have a roof over their heads. In 1621, about 100 English people took a ship, the Mayflower, and arrived in the northeastern US. The winter there was very cold and life was hard. As the American Indians helped them a lot, the English people asked them to have a big meal with then in order to express their thanks. The celebration lasted for three days. Today, people usually have a family meal on Thanksgiving Day. They enjoy delicious food such as pumpkin scorn and a big, golden turkey. There are other traditions on the day. For example, the turkey has a V-shaped bone in the breast. It’s called a wishbone. After roasting(烤), two persons each take one end of the bone. They make a wish and then pull it. If one gets the larger part of the bone, he or she will get good luck. The most important part of Thanksgiving Day is to say “thanks”— this is the spirit of the holiday. People also like to watch the Thanksgiving Day Parade on TV. 82．Why did people celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in ancient China? A．Because people could eat moon cakes. B．Because people enjoyed the full moon. C．Because people could get together with relatives.

In the Tang Dynasty, people not only drank tea, but also ate the tea leaves. That was why tasting tea was called “tea-eating”. In the Song Dynasty, the way people drank tea became romantic and was full of art. In the Ming Dynasty, tasting tea returned to its true nature of “drinking tea”. People put dry tea leaves in the cup and then poured boiled water into it before drinking. And in the Qing Dynasty, the tea culture finally came into common families. Drinking tea became part of their daily life. At the same time, there were more tea houses. Nowadays, making tea around a stove (围炉煮茶) has become popular among young people. This is a special way of drinking tea. Many young people like to choose a quiet and comfortable environment to make tea. While boiling tea, there must be delicate and tasty snacks like small oranges and sweet potatoes on the charcoal (炭) stove, satisfying people’s eyes and mouth. And beautiful cups and teapots would bring them more pleasure in mind. What they enjoy are art, spiritual world and the deep Chinese tea culture. Away from their busy work and life, they feel calm and peaceful in mind. In fact, people began to make tea around a stove in ancient times. Traditionally, about the art of making tea, the most important part is the types of tea, water quality, the control of fire, the choices of tea tools, and the skills of brewing (沏茶). In some ways, the art of making tea is a kind of communication between tea and people. As time passes by, Chinese tea culture continues to develop. Modern tea culture has mixed traditional and modern art and life, showing a more open and colorful culture. 86．When did people not only drink tea but also eat the tea leaves? A．In the Tang Dynasty.

A growing number of foreigners have even chosen to live in China for its culture. Interested in Chinese classical literature, Canadian artist Brandon Collins-Green or Lin Buran in Chinese expresses his understanding of A Dream of the Red Chamber by Cao Xueqin and Chinese poems through thousands of paintings. Often painting throughout the night, he has created more than 4,200 works. Living alone in the center of Nanchang, he has come a long way since he first came here in 2015 to study ancient Chinese literature. Brandon loves learning about the lifestyle of ancient Chinese people. “So far, I have read the novel three times, translated most of its poems, songs, lantern riddles (谜语), and dialogues into English, and completed over 1 million words of articles and 2,000 related paintings during my PhD studies,” said Brandon with pride and satisfaction. Timur Kuvatov, director-general and editor-in-chief of the Kazakhstan Today News Agency, is a Chinese kung fu fan. He has won kung fu championships a lot of times and also served as a coach for the Kazakhstan kung fu team. “Chinese kung fu is a treasure of Chinese culture.

What you say to yourself, and how you say it, makes a difference to how you think, feel and behave, so it’s worth paying attention to it. Your inner voice is always with you. You might notice it when you make a mistake, when you try something new, or when you solve a problem. Sometimes it sounds kind but at other times it can sound mean or scared. Young people’s coach Maria Evans says it should be treated with kindness. “It gets scared when you think about doing something that feels hard. Often all it needs is to be listened to and spoken to with love and reassurance.” Your inner voice has an influence on you because you already pay attention to it. So what you say to yourself, and what you hear, sinks in. If you keep telling yourself you can’t do math or you’ re not good at making friends or you’ re not creative, over time you’ll believe what your inner voice is saying. When you talk to yourself like “I’ve got to tidy my room,” it makes the task feel harder. If instead you say, “I choose to tidy my room, and then I’ll be able to find the books I want easily,” it’s more positive (积极的). You’re telling yourself how you’ll get an advantage. Noticing what your inner voice says and choosing to talk encouragingly to yourself can help you feel more confident. For example, when you get things wrong, tell yourself it’s okay and you’ll learn for next time. Or when you do something challenging, congratulate yourself for being brave and having a try. If you’re not sure what to say, imagine you’re talking to your best friends and trying to support and help them inside your head. 97．Why should you notice your inner voice? A．It is always inside your head. B．It is different from your action. C．It influences your thoughts and behavior. D．It helps you try something new and hard. 98．What does the underlined word “reassurance” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．pride B．comfort C．joy D．humor 99．What will happen if you keep saying no to yourself? A．You’ll not be creative. B．You’ll meet math problems. C．You’ll make no friends. D．You’ll believe what you say. 100．What is an example of positive inner voice? A．“I’ve got to tidy my room.” B．“It’s hard to have a try.” C．“It’s okay to make mistakes.” D．“I have to find the books.” 101．What’s the best title for this passage? A．Talk Kindly to Yourself B．Make Friends for Yourself C．Look Deep inside Yourself D．Build Confidence by Yourself Passage 2 “I will never find time to learn this difficult lesson,” said Robert to Frank as they left school. “I can’t do it by tomorrow.” “You have ten minutes now before lunch. Why not begin immediately?” asked his brother. “Ten minutes! That’s nothing. Besides, I must have a run with my dog Rover now,” replied Robert. After lunch, the two boys walked to school again. Frank took out his book and began to learn part of it as he walked along. While Robert looked for birds in the trees all the way to school. “Come with us to play football!” shouted a group of school friends as they finished school for the day. Robert ran away with the boys. Frank promised to follow in 15 minutes, and took out his book once more. This done, he played with the boys, and enjoyed the game. The two brothers were tired that evening, and went to bed early. But when they returned to school the next day, Frank knew his lesson perfectly. However, Robert told the teacher that he did not have time to learn it. “How did you find time, Frank?” asked his teacher. “I had 10 minutes before lunch yesterday; 15 minutes as I walked back to school; and another 15 minutes before playing football. Then I looked over my lesson for 10 minutes before going to bed; and took 10 minutes before breakfast this morning to make it perfect.” “That makes an hour’s preparation,” replied his teacher. “Frank, you may run and play at break time. Robert, you will spend break time learning that lesson. And you will continue to do that until you have learnt this important lesson: those who take care of the minutes will have the hours to take care of themselves.” 102．Who played football with the boys after reading his book?

Passage 2 Su Bingtian made history becoming the first Chinese male sprinter (短跑运动员) to reach the Olympic 100 m final in 2021. Not only that, he also set a new record with a time of 9. 83 seconds during the semi-finals of the event. This achievement showed his talent and speed on the world stage. Few runners in the world can even come close. Why some people can run very fast while others run more slowly? Genes (基因) play a role, but so do your choices and experiences. One mayor factor (因素) that influences your ability to run fast is how you are built, including how your muscles (肌肉) work. The human body has more than 600 muscles that work together. These muscles are made up of groups of fibers (纤维). There are two main types. One is mainly fast twitch (快缩肌), used for sprinting and similar sports. The other is mostly slow twitch, used for jogging and some types of sports at low speeds. Fast-twitch muscle fibers are larger. They help your body move quickly and produce serious force. Short﹣distance runners usually have plenty of fast﹣twitch muscle fibers. However, this muscle fiber type also tares quickly, so you can only run a short distance at the top speed. Slow-twitch muscle fibers are smaller and help you run at lower speeds, but with greater endurance. Long-distance runners usually have a lot of these muscles. How much you have of each type of muscle fibers mostly depends on your genes. But exercise can help train those muscles. Physical ability isn’t just about muscle. Your brain plays an important role, too. Your muscles are controlled by your brain. You can teach your body to use the best running techniques. That includes proper posture (姿势), so your body is standing tall. That also includes a proper step forward, so your feet land below you instead of landing too far in front, which can slow you down. Using proper running techniques helps the muscles create more force and work together, which helps you run faster. 110．Which of the following is the characteristic of fast-twitch muscle fibers? A．Larger. B．Smaller. C．Weak to produce power. D．Good for long-distance summers. 111．Which sport is suitable for people with more slow-twitch muscles? A．Sprinting. B．Marathon. C．High jump. D．110 m hurdles. 112．What does the underlined word “endurance” mean in Paragraph 4? A．The power to last long. B．The state to survive. C．The ability to stay calm. D．The quality to be patient. 113．Which is the best running posture? A． B． C． D． 114．In which magazine can you read the passage? A．Sports World B．Fashion Show C．Mysterious Space D．Healthy Diet Passage 3 What should you do when you can’t find the time to do a long workout? Have you heard of exercise snacks (零食式锻炼)? Exercise snacks are a popular and inventive new way for people to stay fit. Instead of spending hours on the playground, people break that “large meal” into exercise “snacks”. These exercises can last anywhere from 20 seconds to two minutes. Then you can have a rest for 30 minutes to four hours before another snack. It is reported that exercise snacks can be as useful as traditional exercise methods. Just three exercise snacks a day can benefit (使受益) your physical health. Besides that, there are lots of other benefits. Your concentration (专注力) and creativity get better, and you can become more productive. Also, “snacking” throughout the day stops you from sitting too long. There are so many acceptable exercise snacks, like doing sit-ups, jumping rope or running up and down some stairs (楼梯). But for those who don’t know where to start, here are some helpful exercise choices: Exercises such as lifting weights will satisfy the needs. Since most people don’t keep weights at their offices, lift full water bottles. Squats (深蹲) — moving your body as if to sit down while keeping your back straight. Five to ten of these should make a good snack. For those who don’t like traditional exercises, simply turn up the music. Pick a lively song and start dancing. It’ll make for a fun workout.

As kids ran towards the campfire, Miss King turned to Quill, “I’ll leave for a while, just bring the kids watermelons and tell them a story.” “Sure.” said Quill, his hands becoming wet. Quill was good at showing kids how to climb rocks, but he was not a good storyteller. Quill asked in a low voice, “What kind of story do you like?” A boy named Caden answered, “A ghost story!” Alice rolled her eyes and other kids also shouted, “Quill will tell a lovely story, Caden.” “A ghost story!” Caden insisted. Just then, Quill felt a pull from Emma, the quietest in the group, “I’m afraid of ghost stories.” “What am I going to tell?” Quill thought and then said slowly, “I’m going to tell…a…a toast story.” Caden protested. “A toast story? I want a ghost story!” “You’ll see,” Quill said, “Long long ago, there was a piece of bread... named Bob.” Some kids smiled. Quill talked faster, “One day, Bob was put onto a wooden platform. Bob started crying.” “Bread can’t cry!” Caden shouted. Quill’s ears turned red. “What happened next?” Emma asked. Quill had no idea, but he quickly looked at Caden, “Cade n is going to tell us.” Caden sat up, “Am I?” “Yes, it’s a group story.” Quill answered. Caden said in a scaring voice, “Bob was sure this was the end of his day. Then, a long, shiny thing appeared over him.” “A knife!” Alice shouted. “Alice, it’s your turn.” Quill said. Alice added, “Then something dropped. The knife spread it all over Bob.” “Salad cream.” said Emma and pulled Quill’s T-shirt. Alice continued, “Suddenly, a giant hand lifted Bob towards a big hole. Bob screamed, ‘Help!’ ” Caden wanted to cut in, but Alice stopped him. Quill smiled at Emma. Emma took a deep breath, and said, “Bob screamed again. The hand was surprised and dropped Bob. Bob ran away.” “So, the bread is free.” Caden cut in. “Not finished!” Emma shouted, “Just then, a bread truck appeared. Bob ran towards it. But something big followed him.” “What was that?” a kid asked. Emma sat forward. Caden could feel his own breath, as if he was also there with Bob. SNAP! Emma clapped her hands. Everyone jumped up and asked, “What happened?” “A dog ate him.” Emma said, laughing. In the rest of the night, all the kids were talking about that dog. —Adapted from the story by Sara Matson 128．How did Quill feel when he was asked to tell a story? A．Excited. B．Nervous. C．Confident.

Passage 2 It was half past seven on Monday morning: time to get ready for school. Jay Stone rolled out of bed. He did a couple of quick wake-up exercises and then he went over to his mirror (镜子) and looked at himself. “Not bad, Stone, not bad,” he said to himself and smiled. Maybe he wasn’t ready for Hollywood, but with his dark brown eyes and his thick brown hair, he had the looks that turned girls’ heads. He moved closer to the mirror and smiled, checking his teeth. “Perfect,” he thought. “Good enough for a toothpaste ad.” As his eyes moved down to his strong arms, he smiled again. The hours he spent in the gym and doing sit-ups have paid off. But suddenly, the smile froze. His eyes moved from the upper part of his body down to his legs. His legs were short. Not just short, but far too short for his body. He had the upper body of a six-footer, but because of his legs he was much less than six feet! Six inches less! Sitting, he was as tall as almost anyone. Standing, he had to look up at most of the boys and even many of the girls. Why didn’t his legs grow with the rest of his body? He was one of the shortest boys in his class. He was the shortest in his own family, he was even shorter than his “little” sister—by three inches! Where did his legs come from? He certainly didn’t get them from his parents. They were both quite tall. Looking through old family photos, he found the answer. It was his grandfather on his mother’s side. His short legs were a gift from Grandpa Tuttle. Thanks a lot, Grandpa! Of course, the kids at school all noticed Jay’s short legs and they had a nickname (外号) for him: Stubs! Almost no one called him by his real name; they all called him Stubs. Stubs Stone, Jay didn’t like his nickname, but he had to accept it. He had no choice. But Jay couldn’t see in the mirror what his legs could do. They were quick and strong. He was the youngest player on the Brewer High football team. He could run faster than anyone else in the team and, like a rabbit, he kept going and going. Even at basketball, where the other players were much taller than him, they were still afraid of him because of his speed. Jay shook his head. “Stubs, Stubs Stone, the kid with stubby legs. Yeah, that’s me,” he said to himself with a little smile. Suddenly, he heard his mother’s voice. “Jay! It’s breakfast time!” 132．What did Jay do after he got up on the Monday morning?

D．Returned. 135．Which of the following best describes Jay? A．Strict and serious. B．Clever and helpful. C．Funny and confident.
