However, when he got the bottle, he carelessly dropped it off. Suddenly the kitchen floor became sea of milk! When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him directly or punishing him, she said, “Robert, I have hardly seen such a huge puddle (水坑) of milk. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?” He did as his mother suggested. After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, you have to clean it up. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge (海绵), a towel (毛巾) or a mop. Which do you prefer?” He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the milk. His mother then said, “You know, you failed when you carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let’s go out in the back yard, fill the bottle with water, and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy finally learned that if he carry the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson! Robert learned that mistakes were just chances for learning something new. Even if the experiment “doesn’t work”, we usually learn something valuable from it. 31.

He used the milk to wash the floor. 32. What did his mother do when she saw the mess? A. Shouting at him in a loud voice. B. Punishing him for making the mess. C. Forcing him to clean the milk at once. D. Advising him to play in the milk. 33. What are the orders for Robert's mother to guide him in paragraph 3? ① Provided methods to deal with the mess. ②Cleaned up the mess with him together. ③ Pointed out his responsibility for the mess A. ①②③ B. ①③② C. ③①② D. ③②① 34. What would Robert probably do with the milk bottle next time? A. He may still drop it off on the ground. B. He may carry the bottle at the top near the lip C. He may carry a big milk bottle with one hand. D. He may ask her mother for help directly. 35. Which proverb (谚语) can best describe the lesson for Robert? A. Failure teaches success. B. Still waters run deep. C. It’s never too old to learn. D. Easier said than done. B A highly expected video game based on an ancient Chinese classic came out worldwide on Aug 20, making gamers around the world excited. The game, Black Myth: Wukong, an action role-playing game developed by Game Science, was inspired by the rich Chinese folk stories and the 16th-century novel Journey to the West, one of the four great classic novels of China. “To create a fascinating Chinese story, we also looked to many Chinese classics, taking ideas from their stories, characters and monsters, such as The Classic of Mountains and Seas (《山海经》) and The Investiture of the Gods (《封神演义》). They all inspired the making of the game,” creator Feng Ji said. Set in a magical world full of ancient Chinese legends, Black Myth: Wukong shows the beauty of ancient China and has interesting characters. In the game, players will step into the shoes of the iconic Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King, and travel to different places, from green forests to dark caves. During the journey, players use Wukong’s powerful stick and ability to solve problems and beat special enemies. It is China’s first 3A game, meaning it has high-quality graphics, a rich story, and exciting fighting. The game’s production team traveled across China and scanned ancient buildings and relics. It put the creations and historical relics (遗迹) into every scene of the game. What’s more, the game uses traditional Chinese instruments such as the guzheng, bowls, wooden clappers and gongs. Much of the music is made using Chinese-style chords. This game is a great example of the talent and creativity of Chinese game developers. As the game continues to gain popularity, it is expected to further spread Chinese culture and help Chinese games stand on the global stage. 36. What inspired the creation of the game Black Myth: Wukong? A. They only used the story from “Journey to the West” without any other influences. B. They relied on modern Chinese literature for the game’s characters and monsters. C. They drew inspiration from a range of Chinese classics and folklore. D. They created all the characters and stories from scratch without any references. 37. What role does the player take in this game? A. A monster from The Classic of Mountains and Seas. B. Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King. C A character from the novel The Investiture of the Gods. D. A traveler who travels to different places, from green forests to dark caves. 38. How does the game Black Myth: Wukong become China’s first 3A game? A. By focusing on high-quality graphics but ignoring the story and gameplay. B. By including traditional Chinese elements into its music and environmental design. C. By using only modern Chinese architecture without historical relics. D. By using Western instruments in the game’s soundtrack. 39. What is one of the methods used by the game’s production team to enhance the Chinese-style setting? A. They created all the buildings and relics from their imagination. B. They used photos of Chinese landmarks as a reference. C. They traveled across China and scanned ancient buildings and relics. D. They relied on Western architecture to design the game’s environments. 40. What is the expected impact (影响) of the game’s popularity on Chinese culture and the global gaming industry? A. It will lead to a decline in the appreciation of Chinese culture. B. It will help to spread Chinese culture and establish Chinese games on the global stage. C. It will result in the game being localized only for Chinese-speaking audiences. D. It will cause other countries to stop developing their own 3A games. C On June 23, the Chinese actress Huo Siyan posted a video on Xiaohongshu. She shared how she and her husband discovered an injured beagle (比格犬) by the roadside. It turned out that the poor dog had come from a lab. The couple took her home and named her Pearl. Their story has drawn public attention to animals used in lab testing. Animals have long played an important role in scientific studies. In the 1880s, Louis Pasteur conducted experiments on sheep and showed the world that some diseases are caused by germs. In the 1970s, treatments for a serious skin disease were used on animals before being given to humans. In 1974, Rudolf Jaenisch put DNA from a virus into mice. Genetic research grew quickly after that. Today, animal testing is still required for many products. From cosmetics (化妆品) to medicines, new chemicals are often tested on animals first. It is said that more than 115 million animals are used in experiments every year. Lab testing on animals is not like taking your pet to the vet. Lab animals are harmed in many ways. Some tests even require the animal to die. That’s the sad but true situation for millions of mice, rabbits, dogs and other animals. Back in the 17th century, people had different opinions about animal testing. Many people disliked it. They believed that animals should not be harmed for humanity’s sake. In recent years, more and more people are saying “no” to animal research. Some countries have banned (禁止) the testing of certain products on animals. Scientists have been working to offer non-animal methods. For example, they have created 3D chips (芯片) from human cells. These chips work like tiny human organs. They are used to find out how human systems respond to drugs. Some scientists remove cells from a cancer patient’s tumor. These cells are then used to test different treatments. Researchers also make use of computer models. They can predict how a medicine might affect us. These methods help improve the understanding and treatment of the human body. They are also faster and cheaper than animal testing. Old habits die hard. But non-animal methods will one day replace experiments on animals. This will be a good thing not just for animals, but for human health in general. 41. What led to the increased public attention on the issue of animal testing? A. The development of 3D chips from human cells. B. Huo Siyan’s discovery of an injured beagle from a lab. C. The banning of animal testing in certain countries. D. The use of computer models to predict drug effects. 42. What is the main idea of the second paragraph? A. People’s attention has been drawn to the animals used in lab testing. B. Animal testing should be stopped immediately. C. The negative effects of animal testing. D. Animal testing has had an important impact on scientific progress. 43. What is the current status of animal testing according to the passage? A. It has been completely banned worldwide. B. It is still required for many products, including cosmetics and medicines. C. It has been replaced by non-animal methods. D. It is only conducted for scientific research, not for product testing. 44. What is the structure of the passage? A. ①→②→③④ B. ①→②③→④ C. ①→②→③→④ D. ①②→③④ 45. What is the author’s attitude on the future of non-animal testing methods? A. They will never replace animal testing. B. They will eventually replace animal testing and benefit both animals and human health. C They are too expensive and time-consuming to be practical. D. They are not as effective as traditional animal testing methods. 第二节 短文填空根据短文内容，从下列六个句子中选出五句填入文中空缺处，使短文内容通顺、完整。（共5小题，每小题2分） Just think about it: How long is 46 seconds? ____46____ And it might take you that long to lace up your shoes. But on August 4, swimmer Pan Zhanle swam 100 meters in 45.92 seconds, and his team became the first non-American team to win the Olympic men’s 4×100m relay in more than 40 years. That was just one of China’s many breakthrough moments from this summer’s Olympics. Three days earlier, Pan shocked the world in the men’s 100m freestyle. Like a flying fish, he touched the wall in 46.40 seconds. ____47____ One thing that struck me was how young these champions are. ____48____ The gold medalists certainly got the most attention. ____49____ One of them is skater Cui Chenxi.

Tell them that you also want to do better and are always trying your best. B. Zhongshan Memorial Library houses millions of books, welcoming all people living and working in Zhongshan City. It also helps readers get more books which it doesn’t have. C. To move house is difficult. To change your own idea may be a bit easier. A peaceful heart can help you forget the noise outside! D. Ms. Xu has written a book titled How to Improve Your Study Efficiency, which tells students the ways of getting better grades for the upcoming Zhongkao in three months. E.
