Autumn may be the most enjoyable time of the year. But for some people, the change of seasons is less pleasant, and can lead to a sudden dip in energy, making them wonder why they get more tired in autumn. “It’s caused by the weather,” some parents would say. Scientists agree! Studies show that some viruses (病毒) are more active in cooler weather, and these viruses might make your body tired as it fights them. The cold weather isn’t the only reason. As autumn comes days get shorter and sunlight becomes less. Morning sunlight helps wake you up and keeps you active all day. Without enough light, your body makes more sleep hormones like melatonin (褪黑素) and fewer happy chemicals like serotonin (血清素), which makes you feel sleepy. When people don’t get enough sunlight some of them might feel sad and have a condition called Seasonal Affective Disorder (季节性情感障碍), or SAD. SAD makes people feel tired and down during autumn and winter. Symptoms (症状) include stress, sadness, or even heavy feelings in arms and legs. Many people experience this. Although autumn is a beautiful season, SAD can be serious. Remember to take care of yourself! Try simple things like making soup, cleaning your room, walking outside, or reading a book. Get enough sleep, and if you feel very tired or sad for more than two weeks, talk to a parent or doctor. 21. The underlined word “dip” probably means “_________” A. silence B. rule C. drop D. direction 22. According to the article, why does cold weather make some people tired? A. It makes people wear heavy sweaters. B. Everyone feels sad during cold days. C. Cold weather stops people from exercising. D. People catch viruses more easily in cold weather. 23. What should you do if tiredness lasts over two weeks? A. Eat more ice cream. B. Sit by a sunny window. C. Wear thicker sweaters. D. Tell a parent or doctor. B One morning, Reldresal, the principal secretary for private affairs (内务大臣), came to me. He let me hold him in my hand while we talked. He told me about a terrible war (战争) between Lilliput and a country nearby. “My dear Gulliver,” he said, “please don’t think that everything is perfect here in Lilliput. The truth is very different. These days we are fighting against a country called Blefuscu.” I was surprised to hear the news. “More than 30,000 Lilliputians have died in this war,” he said. “How terrible,” I said. “But why are you fighting?” “We are fighting because of eggs,” he answered. I could not believe my ears but Reldresal continued to explain. “On Lilliput we have always opened our boiled eggs from the bigger end. One day, however, the king’s grandfather cut his finger while doing this. As a result, the king made a new rule: everyone must open their eggs at the smaller end.” “But why start a war because of this?” I asked. “Small end or big end, is it important?” “It is very important for some Lilliputians,” Reldresal continued. “There have been many rebellions (反叛). Some of the people have escaped (逃离) to the island of Blefuscu because they do not want to change their egg-breaking habit.” “Why have they moved to Blefuscu?” I asked. “On the island of Blefuscu, they don’t have this new rule. They continue to break their eggs at the big end. The people there don’t want to go against their tradition. For this reason, the king of Blefuscu declared (宣布) war against Lilliput.” The story seemed amazing to me. Can you imagine two countries fighting because of boiled eggs? But I didn’t want to offend (冒犯) my friend. So I continued to listen with interest. “The problem is,” Reldresal continued, “we think Blefuscu is preparing a new attack very soon and they have more ships than we do.” I saw the worry on his face. I was also worried about the king and his people because they treated me well, so I decided to go to the king and offer my help. “To thank you for your kindness, I am ready to defend (保卫) Lilliput and all the Lilliputians.” The king thanked me for my offer, and we began to prepare a plan for the war at once. 24. Why did Reldresal come to visit Gulliver? A. To invite him to help fight against Blefuscu. B. To thank him for the kindness he had showed. C. To prepare for the possible danger in the war. D. To share some of their traditions with him. 25. What caused the war between Lilliput and Blefuscu? A. Not having enough eggs. B. Lilliputians escaping to Blefuscu. C. Changing the tradition of breaking eggs. D. Shipping trade between the two countries. 26. What would happen in the following part of the story? A. Gulliver would refuse to help the king of Lilliput. B. Reldresal would leave Lilliput and move to Blefuscu. C. Gulliver would help Lilliput win the war against Blefuscu. D. The king of Blefuscu would reach an agreement with Lilliput. 27. What’s the best title of the passage? A. The Brave Hero B. Eggs and War C. The Worried Reldresal D. Life on Lilliput 五、补全信息（共4小题, 每小题1.5分; 满分6分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项（选项中有两项为多余选项）。 Most Chinese students must know the name Li Hua quite well. In middle and high school English exams, they often need to write a letter to a foreign friend in the name of Li Hua. Over the past years, changes have taken place in English education (教育) in China. Chinese students used to start learning English in middle school. Tian Lijun, born in the 1970s in Dalian, first learned English in the seventh grade. “____28____ At that time, I didn’t realize we would finally use the words we were remembering to write sentences,” said Tian. ____29____ Wang Mengqi, born in the late 1990s, started to learn English even before primary school. She said, “In kindergarten (幼儿园), we had cute English text books with colourful pictures. They were really interesting.” The classroom environment has also changed greatly. For example, teachers mainly used blackboards in class in the 1980s and 1990s. Now school students use computers in multimedia (多媒体的) classrooms to practise English listening and speaking. ____30____ Another change in English education is about English writing in exams. In the past, students often wrote a letter to his foreign friend to ask about the local weather and culture before going abroad in the name of Li Hua.____31____ This change shows the growing cultural confidence of the Chinese people. In the future, English textbooks may include more practical (实用的) content. Also, they may include information about other subjects. A. In the following years, English education began earlier. B. Since English is popular, we should learn English harder. C. English textbooks now are about what’s happening in the world. D. We spent the whole term learning English letters (字母) and easy words. E. However, “Li Hua” often tells Chinese stories to his foreign friend visiting China now. F. What’s more, some students in big cities even practise English speaking with the help of AI. 第二卷（共40分） 六、阅读表达（共4小题, 前3小题每题2分, 第4小题3分, 共9分: 前3题每题答案不超过10个词, 第4 题答案字数不限） In recent times, stand-up comedy (脱口秀) has become popular in China. I’m a big fan of it. For me, watching stand-up comedy offers a way to relax. One of my favourite comedians has explained the different ways in which Western and Asian people express love and care for others. It got me thinking about how people express love. I was born into a typical (典型的) East Asian family. Although my family has always provided well for me, I seldom expressed my love or thankfulness to my parents. My parents never said anything like “You are the best boy” to me even when I made great improvements in my schoolwork. The question of how love is communicated has often crossed my mind. Recently, thanks to the comedian’s ideas, I’ve come to realize that in Chinese culture food plays an important part in expressing love. The most common way for us to show love is through preparing delicious meals for loved ones. As far as I can remember, my parents always try to prepare delicious meals for me. Whenever I return home, warm dishes are waiting for me. The meal warms not only my stomach but also my heart. Our culture may not stress verbal (口头的) expressions of love, but love is expressed in a warm way. 32. Why does the writer enjoy watching stand-up comedy? ____________________________________________________________ 33. What plays an important part in expressing love in Chinese culture? ____________________________________________________________ 34. What does the writer think of the warm dishes? ____________________________________________________________ 35. How do you usually express your love to your parents? ____________________________________________________________ 七、综合填空（每小题1分, 满分10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 In May, 2024, about 30 journalists (新闻工作者) from 14 European countries had a 15-day trip in China.
