Use the fridge in a right way Keep your fridge at 8℃ or below and your freezer (冷冻柜) at 0℃ or below, and know when to throw food out. For example, the right temperature for ham is between 0℃ and 8℃, or it will go bad. 36. Who is the text written for? A. Kids. B. Parents. C. Doctors. D. Workers. 37.

She carried out a blanket (毛毯) drive in November, 2023, picking up blankets from different places and giving them to homeless shelters (庇护所) and organizations such as Home Pantry. “Since she is a Payne County team leader who likes doing community service projects, and she tries to come up with one or two a year to do, this is the one that she decided she wanted to do this year,” Stejskal’s mother told Stillwater News Press. To donate to Stejskal’s community service project, people could either drop off blankets at a local county office or call her to come by and pick the blankets up. The drive resulted in a donation of 125 blankets to the Home Pantry. Stejskal chose to do a blanket drive because schools usually do coat drives while other organizations do gloves drives. A blanket is nice because it can help people stay warm at night, and it isn’t as heavy as a coat, she told Stillwater News Press. She hopes that she can help keep the community warm this winter, as well as encourage others to help people. 39. What did Nataley give to the homeless in her community? A. Gloves. B. Blankets. C. Coats. D. Shelters. 40. How many ways of making donations are mentioned in the text? A. 1. B. 2. C. 125. D. 2023. 41. What can we know about Nataley? A. She is an eight-year-old girl. B.

With long white sleeves (袖子), he spread his arms like wings before he lands. Sometimes, he carries a red fan. His dance is eye-catching, often bringing in crowds. He is Chinese dancer Ma Jiaolong. Since 2020, he’s made short videos of himself dancing in London. He has performed at the city’s parks and landmarks like Tower Bridge. The 35-year-old has nearly 5 million followers on Douyin, where he shares his videos. Classical Chinese dance brings martial arts (功夫) movements together with those of traditional Chinese opera. He started to learn it at the age of 12. Later, Ma studied at the Beijing Dance Academy. Since 2019, he has been teaching classical Chinese dance at Goldsmiths, University of London. Three years ago, Ma took his wife’s suggestion and danced at Greenwich Park, a popular place for tourists. She recorded Ma. He then made changes to the video, added music and sent it to friends. “Surprisingly, they loved it, which inspired (鼓舞) me to share it online,” said Ma. Later, Ma made more short videos of his performances. People are often interested in his moves. “Now, making and sharing short videos has become a part of my life and a great way to introduce classical Chinese dance to more people, especially overseas viewers,” said Ma. 42.

This is the case in Madagascar, where 3D-printed schools that run on solar power are now being built. Maggie Grout was just 15 years old when she set up her NGO-Thinking Huts. Now 23, she is celebrating the completion of her first 3D-printed school in Madagascar. She led the whole process (过程) from start to finish, working with a professor supporting her NGO. First, they decided on a place. They chose Madagascar because it needs more schools and has a lot of sunshine, which can be made into energy to power things. Grout then drew a design for the school.

One day a wise old man came to the village. The woman turned to him for help. After hearing what the woman said, the old man gave a bottle to her and said, “From now on, whenever you get angry, take some of the medicine. That will help you.” The woman was happy after getting the medicine. She thanked him and went back to her home. From that day on, whenever she got angry, she would drink the medicine and slowly she began to stop feeling angry. After 10 days, when the medicine was finished, she went to the old man and said, “You have given me wonderful medicine. The medicine was eaten up. Please give me more of the medicine.” The man smiled and said, “There was no medicine in that bottle. It was filled with water.” The woman couldn’t believe her ears. The man kept saying, “Whenever you got angry and drank something from that bottle, you couldn’t say anything because of the water in your mouth. Always keep silent whenever you get angry. That’s the only way to control your anger.” 53. What did the old man tell the woman to do when she got angry? (不超过10个词) __________________________________________ 54. What was in the bottle?

It was filled with water.’”可知，瓶子里装的是水。故填Water. 【55题详解】 根据原文“Always keep silent whenever you get angry.

If parents a________ (争论) with us, we should respect their opinions. 【答案】(a)rgue 【解析】 【详解】句意：如果父母和我们争论，我们应该尊重他们的意见。argue表示“争论；争吵；争辩”，argue with sb表示“和某人争论”。句子是if引导的条件状语从句，遵循“主将从现”原则，故从句用一般现在时，从句主语parents是复数，所以argue用原形。故填(a)rgue。 57. Tony always eats plenty of f________ (新鲜的) fruit and vegetables. 【答案】(f)resh 【解析】 【详解】句意：Tony总是吃很多新鲜水果和蔬菜。“新鲜的”fresh，形容词作定语。故填(f)resh。 58. In the first half of 2023, C919 ________ (飞) into the sky for the first time. 【答案】flew 【解析】 【详解】句意：在2023年上半年，C919首次飞上天空。 根据“In the first half of 2023”可知，句子描述的是过去发生的事情，时态为一般过去时。一般过去时中，动词要用过去式。“飞”对应的英文单词是 fly，“fly的过去式是flew。故填flew。 59. Spending time with family is one of the happiest m________ (时刻) in life. 【答案】(m)oments 【解析】 【详解】句意：和家人共度时光是生活中最幸福的时刻之一。 根据“Spending time with family is one of the happiest…in life.”以及首字母m可知，此处应填表示“时刻”的单词moment。又因为“one of+the+形容词最高级+名词复数”表示“最……的……之一”，所以这里moment要用复数形式moments。故填(m)oments。 60. President Xi praised him for his hard work for world c________ (玉米) development. 【答案】(c)orn 【解析】 【详解】句意：习书记表扬了他对世界玉米发展做出的努力。根据中文提示和首字母可知，corn玉米，名词。故填(c)orn。 Ⅹ. 书面表达（共1小题；满分20分） 61. 假定你是李辉，你的英国朋友Allen来信，对你校的劳动实践课很感兴趣，请给他回信。 要点如下： 1. 课程安排； 2. 实践与感受； 3. …… 注意： 1. 词数80～100； 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3. 文中不能出现真实姓名及学校名称； 4. 信的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Allen, Glad to hear from you. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hui 【答案】例文 Dear Allen, Glad to hear from you.

B Eighth-grader Nataley Stejskal from Stillwater Public Schools in Oklahoma US, did something good for her community. She carried out a blanket (毛毯) drive in November, 2023, picking up blankets from different places and giving them to homeless shelters (庇护所) and organizations such as Home Pantry. “Since she is a Payne County team leader who likes doing community service projects, and she tries to come up with one or two a year to do, this is the one that she decided she wanted to do this year,” Stejskal’s mother told Stillwater News Press. To donate to Stejskal’s community service project, people could either drop off blankets at a local county office or call her to come by and pick the blankets up. The drive resulted in a donation of 125 blankets to the Home Pantry. Stejskal chose to do a blanket drive because schools usually do coat drives while other organizations do gloves drives. A blanket is nice because it can help people stay warm at night, and it isn’t as heavy as a coat, she told Stillwater News Press. She hopes that she can help keep the community warm this winter, as well as encourage others to help people. 39. What did Nataley give to the homeless in her community? A. Gloves. B. Blankets. C. Coats. D. Shelters. 40. How many ways of making donations are mentioned in the text? A. 1. B. 2. C. 125. D. 2023. 41. What can we know about Nataley? A. She is an eight-year-old girl. B.

Since 2020, he’s made short videos of himself dancing in London. He has performed at the city’s parks and landmarks like Tower Bridge.

Three years ago, Ma took his wife’s suggestion and danced at Greenwich Park, a popular place for tourists. She recorded Ma.

People are often interested in his moves. “Now, making and sharing short videos has become a part of my life and a great way to introduce classical Chinese dance to more people, especially overseas viewers,” said Ma. 42.

Now 23, she is celebrating the completion of her first 3D-printed school in Madagascar. She led the whole process (过程) from start to finish, working with a professor supporting her NGO.

She thought about what the people might need and where they worked best. The school could be completed in just a week. To make it more environmentally friendly, they used local materials to build the doors, windows and roof. They also trained local workers to use a 3D printer so that they could build more schools on their own in the future. Grout plans to print a new school in another part of the country where one in five children can’t attend primary school. 46. What is special about the 3D-printed schools? A.
