And you can understand 14 more clearly,” according to the University of Rochester Medical Center in the US. Julia Samuel, who helps people with their mental health problems, said, talking to your diary by writing things down can be as good as 15 to another person. Writing a diary helps you to control your feelings and reduce 16 , which can make you feel relaxed, and sometimes can help you 17 problems. Doctors sometimes recommend diary writing to help people with mental health problems. It might 18 help your physical health. Research has found that people who keep diaries have fewer doctor visits, and may even show reduced symptoms of some long-term diseases. Writer Anthony Quinn says there are other “great advantages” to keeping a diary. Writing a diary can let you understand yourself 19 and see how you have changed, Quinn wrote in The Guardian (卫报). He said 20 can even be used instead of social media. Many experts say it’s best to write a diary every day, or 21 every week. Most experts also say people should just write—or draw—anything they want, and not worry about what someone else might think about it. “Look at your writing time as personal relaxation time,” says the University of Rochester. It recommends that people write in a place they find 22 , maybe with a cup of tea. 11．A．happy B．excited C．lonely D．proud 12．A．ways B．places C．friends D．chances 13．A．reduce B．improve C．imagine D．respect 14．A．it B．them C．us D．him 15．A．writing B．walking C．singing D．talking 16．A．stress B．success C．pride D．trust 17．A．solve B．bring C．discuss D．cause 18．A．never B．also C．ever D．still 19．A．worse B．earlier C．better D．later 20．A．diaries B．books C．notes D．stories 21．A．at first B．at least C．at last D．at once 22．A．dangerous B．interesting C．strange D．relaxing 【答案】 11．C 12．A 13．B 14．B 15．D 16．A 17．A 18．B 19．C 20．A 21．B 22．D 【导语】本文讨论了写日记对心理健康的好处。 11．句意：在艰难的一天结束时，您有时会感到愤怒、悲伤或孤独吗？ happy开心的；excited兴奋的；lonely孤独的；proud自豪的。根据后文的“at the end of a difficult day”可知，在艰难的一天结束时，你有时会感到愤怒、悲伤或孤独。故选C。 12．句意：我们中的许多人都在寻找让自己感觉更好的方法，也许是锻炼、烹饪、阅读或看电视。 ways方法；places地方；friends朋友；chances机会。由后面的“by exercising, cooking, reading or watching TV”可知，我们许多人会寻找让自己感觉更好的方法。故选A。 13．句意：但专家表示，开始写日记可以让你释放自己的感受，从而改善你的心理健康。 reduce减少；improve改善；imagine想象；respect尊敬。根据后文的“letting you release your feelings”可知，释放自己的情绪可以改善心理健康。故选B。 14．句意：你可以更清楚地理解它们。 it它；them他们；us我们；him他。指代上文的“your thoughts and feelings”表第三人称复数概念，故用代词them。故选B。 15．句意：专门帮助人们解决心理健康问题的朱莉娅·塞缪尔表示，通过写日记把事情写下来，与向他人倾诉有着同样好的效果。 writing写；walking走路；singing唱歌；talking谈话。由前面的“‘talking’ to your diary by writing things down”可知，通过把事情写下来与你的日记“交谈”，就像和别人交谈一样好。故选D。 16．句意：写日记可以帮助你控制自己的情绪，减轻压力，这可以让你感到放松，有时还可以帮助你解决问题。 stress压力；success成功；pride自豪；trust信任。根据后文的“which can make you feel relaxed”可知，写日记令你放松，可以减轻压力。故选A。 17．句意：写日记可以帮助你控制自己的情绪，减轻压力，这可以让你感到放松，有时还可以帮助你解决问题。 solve解决；bring带来；discuss讨论；cause造成。写日记可以帮助你控制情绪和减轻压力，有时还能帮助你解决问题。故选A。 18．句意：它还可能有助于您的身体健康。 never从不；also也；ever曾经；still仍然。根据前一句的“to help people with mental health problems”和本句的“help your physical health”可知，这是diary writing的第二个好处，故选B。 19．句意：奎因在《卫报》上写道，写日记可以让你更好地了解自己，看看自己发生了什么变化。 worse糟糕的；earlier早的；better更好；later后来。根据上一句的“‘great advantages’ to keeping a diary”可知，写日记还有其他的“巨大好处”，后面具体说明，如写日记可以让你更好地了解自己。故选C。 20．句意：他说日记甚至可以用来代替社交媒体。 diaries日记；books书；notes笔记；stories故事。本文是介绍写日记的好处，结合本句中的even可知，是认为日记甚至可以用来代替社交媒体。故选A。 21．句意：许多专家表示，最好每天或至少每周写日记。 at first起初；at least至少；at last最后；at once立即。根据上文的“write a diary every day”和选项可知，专家认为最好每天写日记，或者至少每周写一次。故选B。 22．句意：它建议人们在他们认为放松的地方写作，也许可以喝一杯茶。 dangerous危险的；interesting有趣的；strange陌生的；relaxing放松的。根据上文的“personal relaxation time”可知，把你的写作时间看作是个人放松时间，因此人们应找一个他们觉得放松的地方写作，故选D。 三、阅读理解（共14小题；每小题2分，满分28分） 阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。 A Chongming Island, located at the mouth of the Yangtze River in China, is a beautiful and attractive place that offers a unique blend (融合) of natural beauty and cultural heritage.

The park also hosts various cultural events and performances, providing visitors with a glimpse into the local culture.”可知，在明珠湖公园我们不能举办文化活动。故选C。 25．细节理解题。根据Oxygen Land部分中的“It’s a beautiful blend of tradition and ecological awareness as well as a connection that bridges the past and present, emphasizing the harmony of humanity with the land.”和“The Sanmin Cultural Village acts as a bridge between the past and the present, creating a lasting connection to Chongming’s cultural identity.”可知，氧乐园和三民文化村的共同点是它们起着连接过去和现在的作用。故选D。 B Clara stared at the empty notebook on her desk, her fingers trembling. It was the third time she had torn out a page, crumpled it, and thrown it into the overflowing waste basket. Why is this so hard? She thought, glancing at the calendar circled in red: May 10th—Mother’s Day. Her relationship with Mom had always been... complicated. Mom was a doctor who worked late shifts, often leaving before dawn and returning when Clara was already asleep. Their conversations were limited to brief notes on the fridge: “Dinner in the microwave” or “Math test tomorrow—study!” Clara had grown used to the silence, but this year, she wanted to break it. The notebook was meant to be a gift—a collection of memories they had never shared. On the first page, she wrote: “To Mom, who saves lives but forgot mine.” Instantly guilt (内疚) washed over her. She ripped it out. That night, Clara found an old photo album in the attic. Flipping through it, she paused at a picture of Mom holding her as a baby, smiling in a way Clara had never seen. Behind the photo was a folded letter in Mom’s handwriting: “Clara turned I today. I missed her first steps because of an emergency surgery. How do I tell her I love her more than anything?” Tears blurred the words. Underneath the album lay a small box labeled “Clara’s Art–Age 5 to 12”. Inside were every doodle and painting Clara had thrown away over the years, carefully preserved. On Mother’s Day morning, Clara placed the notebook on Mom’s pillow. This time, the first page read: “To Mom, who loved me even when I didn’t see it.” 26．Why did Clara feel guilty after writing “To Mom, who saves lives but forgot mine”? A．She realized her mom kept her childhood art. B．She discovered her mom’s old photo album. C．She regretted misunderstanding her mom. D．She forgot to prepare a Mother’s Day gift. 27．What does the word “preserved” mean in the context of the story? A．Thrown away. B．Hidden carefully. C．Saved and protected. D．Bought recently. 28．What is the best title for the story? A．The Busy Doctor B．A Mother’s Secret C．The Forgotten Birthday D．Love in Silent Pages 【答案】26．C 27．C 28．D 【导语】本文讲述了Clara与母亲之间复杂的情感关系。 26．细节理解题。根据“Instantly guilt (内疚) washed over her. She ripped it out.”和“Behind the photo was a folded letter in Mom’s handwriting: ‘Clara turned I today… How do I tell her I love her more than anything?’”可知，Clara因误解母亲的爱而感到内疚。故选C。 27．词义猜测题。根据“Inside were every doodle and painting Clara had thrown away over the years, carefully preserved”可知，母亲将Clara丢弃的涂鸦和画作都保存了下来，因此“preserved”意为“保存和保护”。故选C。 28．最佳标题题。全文围绕Clara通过发现母亲珍藏的旧物逐渐理解母亲沉默的爱，最终以笔记本作为情感纽带传递心意展开，强调“无声的爱的表达”。故选D。 C How much water is there on the moon? This is a question scientists have tried to answer for years. Scientists from China and the UK have now discovered that the moon may have water “reservoirs (水库)”, said a recent paper. Over billions of years, space rocks have hit the surface of the moon, causing the soil to melt and go out into space. It then cools down and falls back to the moon’s surface, forming beads (珠子) of glass. The Chang’e 5 probe, which returned to Earth on Dec 17, 2020, brought back a total of 1,731 grams of rocks and soil from the moon’s surface, including glass beads, reported Xinhua. The international research team looked into 32 glass beads. They found that about one ton of glass beads may have 500 grams of water. “This ‘water’ wasn’t a liquid but instead took the form of hydrogen (氢气) ... in the glass beads, which can easily be turned into the water we can use,” Hui Hejiu, one of the study’s authors, told Science and Technology Daily. Scientists think that the water in all of the moon's glass beads could be as much as 270 trillion (万亿) kilograms. The solar wind, which is streams of particles (粒子) let out from the sun, could be where the water in the beads comes from, said the study. The glass beads have many holes inside to catch hydrogen from the wind. If the water in the beads is easy to get, it will be a “really big deal” for space exploration, Phil Bland, an expert in Australia, told ABC News. Now, water used by astronauts during their long stays in space stations is recycled, said the China Manned Space website. The urine (尿液) produced and water used by an astronaut per day is about 2 kilograms. The liquids are collected and purified (净化) and then provided to astronauts to drink. With this new finding, human life on the moon could have a stable water source in the future. 29．What did the scientists from China and the UK discover on the moon? A．Billions of glass beads under its surface. B．A liquid water reservoir ready to be used. C．An ocean on the far side of the moon. D．Glass beads that may contain water. 30．How might astronauts get water from the beads? A．By breaking them to get the water out. B．By collecting as much from them as they can. C．By turning the hydrogen into water. D．By putting them under the sunlight. 31．What is the purpose of mentioning the Chang’e 5 probe in Paragraph 3? A．To explain what is glass beads. B．To show the Chang’e 5 probe is great. C．To prove there are glass beads on the moon. D．To tell us where to find the water 32．What can we infer from the passage above? A．The solar wind is the source of the water found in the glass beads on the moon. B．Astronauts would no longer be worried about being short of water. C．Now, astronauts get water from the solar wind. D．Getting water in the beads is not as easy as we think. 【答案】29．D 30．C 31．C 32．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了来自中国和英国的科学家现在发现月球可能有充足的水。 29．细节理解题。根据“Scientists from China and the UK have now discovered that the moon may have water ‘reservoirs’, said a recent paper.”和“It then cools down and falls back to the moon’s surface, forming beads of glass.”可知，中国和英国的科学家发现月球上有可能含有水的玻璃珠。故选D。 30．细节理解题。根据“This ‘water’ wasn’t a liquid but instead took the form of hydrogen ... in the glass beads, which can easily be turned into the water we can use,”可知，这种“水”不是液体，而是氢气的形式，可以转化为我们需要的水。故选C。 31．推理判断题。根据“The Chang’e 5 probe, which returned to Earth on Dec 17, 2020, brought back a total of 1,731 grams of rocks and soil from the moon’s surface, including glass beads, reported Xinhua.”可知，嫦娥五号探测器从月球表面带回了玻璃珠，可以证明这种玻璃珠是存在的。故选C。 32．推理判断题。根据“If the water in the beads is easy to get, it will be a ‘really big deal’ for space exploration”和“Now, water used by astronauts during their long stays in space stations is recycled, said the China Manned Space website.”可知，现在宇航员在空间站长期停留期间需要循环利用水，如果珠子里的水很容易获得，这对太空探索来说将是件大事，由此可推断，宇航员们日后将不必担心缺水了。故选B。 D When Qin’s army surrounded (包围) Handan, the King of Zhao sent Prince Pingyuan to ask Chu for help. He was also allowed to take twenty advisors with him. But Pingyuan could only choose nineteen. “Who could be the last?” he thought. “That’s fine. Nineteen is no different from twenty.” A man named Mao Sui came to Pingyuan. “My lord, I’ve heard you’re short one advisor. I can go with you.” “Sir, how long have you been with me?” the prince asked. “Three years.” “A talented person gets noticed quickly. You’ve been here for three years, and I don’t even know you. That means you are no good at anything. I’m afraid you’ll have to stay.” “That’s because I’ve been waiting for my time, like today,” Mao Sui said. Pingyuan only half believed him but allowed him to join. When they arrived in Chu, Pingyuan lost no time in seeing its king. They talked all morning but nothing was decided. The nineteen advisors were at their wits’ end. Suddenly, Mao Sui stepped forward from the back of the room, one hand on his sword (剑). “Assassin (刺客), assassin!” the King of Chu shouted and reached for his own sword. “My lord, he’s one of us,” Pingyuan said calmly. “The room is too dark. I didn’t think anyone was sitting there,” the king said. He picked up his cup to hide his sudden movement towards his sword. “My lord, you keep refusing our offer because Chu is a big state,” Mao Sui said. “But how can such a great state forget its history? Qin has beaten you many times and burned your cities. Even we Zhao people feel ashamed of this. It’s not wise for us to turn against each other.” The King of Chu agreed, “You’re right. We should fight Qin together.” After Prince Pingyuan returned home, he treated Mao Sui as a respected guest. 33．What does the underlined phrase “at their wits’ end” mean in Paragraph 8? A．勃然大怒 B．欣喜若狂 C．灵光乍现 D．束手无策 34．What can we know from the story? A．Mao Sui was no good at anything. B．Mao Sui was patient enough to wait for his time. C．Pingyuan knew Mao Sui very well before they went to Chu. D．An assassin with a sword came in to kill the King of Chu, but failed. 35．What can we infer about Mao Sui’s personality from the story? A．He is generous and modest. B．He is brave and confident. C．He is serious and careful. D．He is patient and curious. 36．Which is most likely to happen if Mao Sui didn’t offer to go with Prince Pingyuan? A．Chu would fight Qin with Zhao together. B．Pingyuan would take the nineteen advisors with him to Chu. C．An assassin would kill the King of Chu. D．Pingyuan would finish the task perfectly. 【答案】33．D 34．B 35．B 36．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了经典成语故事——“毛遂自荐”。 33．词句猜测题。根据“They talked all morning but nothing was decided.”可知，他们谈了一上午，但什么也没决定，所以这19为门客已经没有办法，划线部分的含义是“束手无策”。故选D。 34．推理判断题。根据“‘That’s because I’ve been waiting for my time, like today,’ Mao Sui said.”可知，毛遂一直等待自己的时机，说明他很有耐心。故选B。 35．推理判断题。根据“‘That’s because I’ve been waiting for my time, like today,’ Mao Sui said.”和“My lord, you keep refusing our offer because Chu is a big state...But how can such a great state forget its history? Qin has beaten you many times and burned your cities. Even we Zhao people feel ashamed of this. It’s not wise for us to turn against each other”可知，毛遂自告奋勇地要求加入平原君前往楚国，说明他具有自信；加上在处理楚王的疑心和说服楚国联合抗秦的情境中表现出的无畏和果断，说明他很勇敢。故选B。 36．推理判断题。根据第一段“When Qin’s army surrounded (包围) Handan, the King of Zhao sent Prince Pingyuan to ask Chu for help. He was also allowed to take twenty advisors with him. But Pingyuan could only choose nineteen.”可知，如果毛遂没有自荐，那么平原君将会带着这19为门客一同前往楚国。故选B。 四、还原句子(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六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Houseplants make you happy Bring the outside in to boost (使兴旺；使增长) your wellbeing (康乐). Plants aren’t just nice to look at. They can also help your health and wellbeing. This is especially true indoors. Find your perfect plant There are many different types of houseplants. There are tiny succulents and cacti, hanging plants with trailing foliage and plants that can grow more than a metre tall and wide. Your curiosity and knowledge of nature will develop as you research and learn about different plants. You will also learn about the conditions they need to thrive. 37 Plants need water, light and attention. Caring for plants teaches you how to be responsible. Rowan Hammond runs a plant and flower shop called Green and Grounded. She says looking after plants improves your attention to detail. It is a great way to gain a sense of purpose. And it is an exciting way to learn about the influence your actions have on others. 38 . They can also inspire new ideas. You’re rewarded for the love and care you give. You feel like you have achieved something when you see the plant growing and flowering. You also develop patience. You can’t make the plant grow faster. 39 Houseplants help you feel calmer and less anxious. Studies show that nature lowers stress levels and boosts your mood. Hammond says, “Surrounding yourself with foliage helps you relax and soothes (缓解) you.” Looking after plants gives you something to focus on. 40 . Plants take in the carbon dioxide we breathe out. They release oxygen, which we breathe in. This may also help you to sleep at night especially if you have a plant such as lavender (薰衣草) in your room. Some plants are medicinal. The gel (啫喱) released by snipping an aloe vera leaf (芦荟叶) soothes sunburn. On a windowsill you can grow plants to eat, such as salad leaves, tomatoes or even chillis.

Their students play games on mobile phones after returning home, and some of them don’t complete homework. When they’re in class, they still think about their games. Pan Jiani, 11, likes watching funny short videos on the phone. Her parents are working in the city. Now she lives with her grandparents. “If she stays with us, the time of playing on her mobile phone can be limited. If we’re not around, she sometimes plays for a long time,” said her grandpa. According to the teachers, boys prefer to play games. Pan Longye, 11, likes watching cartoons and playing games on the phone. His mother said, “Sometimes I give the mobile phone to him, and then I’m so busy that I forget it. In this situation, he plays for two or three hours.” Research shows that when it comes to playing on mobile phones, the city children can be controlled by their parents, while the village children can hardly be controlled by their grandparents. How can families and society help solve this problem? Since most left-behind children (留守儿童) live with their grandparents, it’s necessary for the elderly people to organize activities for children after school, like doing some housework and farm work, The Internet should also provide left-behind children with interesting learning resources, which can draw their attention and help them avoid harmful information online. 41．What’s the new problem among teenagers in the village school? 42．What does Pan Jiani often do on the mobile phone? 43．According to the passage, who are stricter, parents or grandparents? 44．As a teenager, how can you use mobile phones wisely? 【答案】41．Mobile phone addiction. 42．She often watches funny short videos on the phone. 43．Patents. 44．I should use the mobile phone as a tool for learning, such as researching topics for school projects. 【导语】本文主要讲述了青少年的新问题——手机成瘾。 41．根据“In a village school in Hubei, teachers find that mobile phone addiction (瘾) has become a new problem among teenagers.”可知在湖北一所乡村学校，教师发现手机成瘾已经成为青少年的新问题。故填Mobile phone addiction. 42．根据“Pan Jiani, 11, likes watching funny short videos on the phone.”可知潘佳妮喜欢在手机上看有趣的短视频。故填She often watches funny short videos on the phone. 43．根据“Research shows that when it comes to playing on mobile phones, the city children can be controlled by their parents, while the village children can hardly be controlled by their grandparents.”可知父母比祖父母更严格。故填Patents. 44．开放性作答，言之有理即可。参考答案为I should use the mobile phone as a tool for learning, such as researching topics for school projects. 六、综合填空(共10小题;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。 The crested ibis (朱鹮) is 45 type of bird.

In 2013, following the release of a group of 46 (32) birds near the Ju River in Tongchuan City, Shanxi Provine, 16 locals 47 (offer) to work as part-time watcher. They helped record the birds’ daily activities. “We record how long they stay in 48 (they) nests and how many times they catch food. The 49 (important) thing is to monitor (监视) their living habits. We record any place the birds appear, 50 (include) where they live at night and where they look for food,” said Yang Gangqi. He is one of the part-time crested ibis watchers. Over the past 10 years, crested ibises set free into the wild in Tongchuan 51 (fly) to other 52 (city). They have established at least five groups of such ibises.

But experts say starting a diary can 13 your mental health by letting you release (释放) your feelings. “It’s simply writing down your thoughts and feelings. And you can understand 14 more clearly,” according to the University of Rochester Medical Center in the US. Julia Samuel, who helps people with their mental health problems, said, talking to your diary by writing things down can be as good as 15 to another person. Writing a diary helps you to control your feelings and reduce 16 , which can make you feel relaxed, and sometimes can help you 17 problems. Doctors sometimes recommend diary writing to help people with mental health problems. It might 18 help your physical health. Research has found that people who keep diaries have fewer doctor visits, and may even show reduced symptoms of some long-term diseases. Writer Anthony Quinn says there are other “great advantages” to keeping a diary. Writing a diary can let you understand yourself 19 and see how you have changed, Quinn wrote in The Guardian (卫报). He said 20 can even be used instead of social media. Many experts say it’s best to write a diary every day, or 21 every week. Most experts also say people should just write—or draw—anything they want, and not worry about what someone else might think about it. “Look at your writing time as personal relaxation time,” says the University of Rochester. It recommends that people write in a place they find 22 , maybe with a cup of tea. 11．A．happy B．excited C．lonely D．proud 12．A．ways B．places C．friends D．chances 13．A．reduce B．improve C．imagine D．respect 14．A．it B．them C．us D．him 15．A．writing B．walking C．singing D．talking 16．A．stress B．success C．pride D．trust 17．A．solve B．bring C．discuss D．cause 18．A．never B．also C．ever D．still 19．A．worse B．earlier C．better D．later 20．A．diaries B．books C．notes D．stories 21．A．at first B．at least C．at last D．at once 22．A．dangerous B．interesting C．strange D．relaxing 三、阅读理解（共14小题；每小题2分，满分28分） 阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。 A Chongming Island, located at the mouth of the Yangtze River in China, is a beautiful and attractive place that offers a unique blend (融合) of natural beauty and cultural heritage. If you want to get away from city living for a short time, you can not miss the three attractions. Mingzhu Lake Park This park is famous for its picturesque lake, which is surrounded by plenty of greenery and dotted with attractive buildings. Visitors can take a pleasant walk along the lakeside or row a boat to explore the lake. The park also hosts various cultural events and performances, providing visitors with a glimpse into the local culture. Sanmin Cultural Village The Sanmin Cultural Village acts as a bridge between the past and the present, creating a lasting connection to Chongming’s cultural identity.

It was the third time she had torn out a page, crumpled it, and thrown it into the overflowing waste basket. Why is this so hard? She thought, glancing at the calendar circled in red: May 10th—Mother’s Day. Her relationship with Mom had always been... complicated. Mom was a doctor who worked late shifts, often leaving before dawn and returning when Clara was already asleep. Their conversations were limited to brief notes on the fridge: “Dinner in the microwave” or “Math test tomorrow—study!” Clara had grown used to the silence, but this year, she wanted to break it. The notebook was meant to be a gift—a collection of memories they had never shared. On the first page, she wrote: “To Mom, who saves lives but forgot mine.” Instantly guilt (内疚) washed over her. She ripped it out. That night, Clara found an old photo album in the attic. Flipping through it, she paused at a picture of Mom holding her as a baby, smiling in a way Clara had never seen. Behind the photo was a folded letter in Mom’s handwriting: “Clara turned I today. I missed her first steps because of an emergency surgery. How do I tell her I love her more than anything?” Tears blurred the words. Underneath the album lay a small box labeled “Clara’s Art–Age 5 to 12”. Inside were every doodle and painting Clara had thrown away over the years, carefully preserved. On Mother’s Day morning, Clara placed the notebook on Mom’s pillow. This time, the first page read: “To Mom, who loved me even when I didn’t see it.” 26．Why did Clara feel guilty after writing “To Mom, who saves lives but forgot mine”? A．She realized her mom kept her childhood art. B．She discovered her mom’s old photo album. C．She regretted misunderstanding her mom. D．She forgot to prepare a Mother’s Day gift. 27．What does the word “preserved” mean in the context of the story? A．Thrown away. B．Hidden carefully. C．Saved and protected. D．Bought recently. 28．What is the best title for the story? A．The Busy Doctor B．A Mother’s Secret C．The Forgotten Birthday D．Love in Silent Pages C How much water is there on the moon? This is a question scientists have tried to answer for years. Scientists from China and the UK have now discovered that the moon may have water “reservoirs (水库)”, said a recent paper. Over billions of years, space rocks have hit the surface of the moon, causing the soil to melt and go out into space. It then cools down and falls back to the moon’s surface, forming beads (珠子) of glass. The Chang’e 5 probe, which returned to Earth on Dec 17, 2020, brought back a total of 1,731 grams of rocks and soil from the moon’s surface, including glass beads, reported Xinhua. The international research team looked into 32 glass beads. They found that about one ton of glass beads may have 500 grams of water. “This ‘water’ wasn’t a liquid but instead took the form of hydrogen (氢气) ... in the glass beads, which can easily be turned into the water we can use,” Hui Hejiu, one of the study’s authors, told Science and Technology Daily. Scientists think that the water in all of the moon's glass beads could be as much as 270 trillion (万亿) kilograms. The solar wind, which is streams of particles (粒子) let out from the sun, could be where the water in the beads comes from, said the study. The glass beads have many holes inside to catch hydrogen from the wind. If the water in the beads is easy to get, it will be a “really big deal” for space exploration, Phil Bland, an expert in Australia, told ABC News. Now, water used by astronauts during their long stays in space stations is recycled, said the China Manned Space website. The urine (尿液) produced and water used by an astronaut per day is about 2 kilograms. The liquids are collected and purified (净化) and then provided to astronauts to drink. With this new finding, human life on the moon could have a stable water source in the future. 29．What did the scientists from China and the UK discover on the moon? A．Billions of glass beads under its surface. B．A liquid water reservoir ready to be used. C．An ocean on the far side of the moon. D．Glass beads that may contain water. 30．How might astronauts get water from the beads? A．By breaking them to get the water out. B．By collecting as much from them as they can. C．By turning the hydrogen into water. D．By putting them under the sunlight. 31．What is the purpose of mentioning the Chang’e 5 probe in Paragraph 3? A．To explain what is glass beads. B．To show the Chang’e 5 probe is great. C．To prove there are glass beads on the moon. D．To tell us where to find the water 32．What can we infer from the passage above? A．The solar wind is the source of the water found in the glass beads on the moon. B．Astronauts would no longer be worried about being short of water. C．Now, astronauts get water from the solar wind. D．Getting water in the beads is not as easy as we think. D When Qin’s army surrounded (包围) Handan, the King of Zhao sent Prince Pingyuan to ask Chu for help. He was also allowed to take twenty advisors with him. But Pingyuan could only choose nineteen. “Who could be the last?” he thought. “That’s fine. Nineteen is no different from twenty.” A man named Mao Sui came to Pingyuan. “My lord, I’ve heard you’re short one advisor. I can go with you.” “Sir, how long have you been with me?” the prince asked. “Three years.” “A talented person gets noticed quickly. You’ve been here for three years, and I don’t even know you. That means you are no good at anything. I’m afraid you’ll have to stay.” “That’s because I’ve been waiting for my time, like today,” Mao Sui said. Pingyuan only half believed him but allowed him to join. When they arrived in Chu, Pingyuan lost no time in seeing its king. They talked all morning but nothing was decided. The nineteen advisors were at their wits’ end. Suddenly, Mao Sui stepped forward from the back of the room, one hand on his sword (剑). “Assassin (刺客), assassin!” the King of Chu shouted and reached for his own sword. “My lord, he’s one of us,” Pingyuan said calmly. “The room is too dark. I didn’t think anyone was sitting there,” the king said. He picked up his cup to hide his sudden movement towards his sword. “My lord, you keep refusing our offer because Chu is a big state,” Mao Sui said. “But how can such a great state forget its history? Qin has beaten you many times and burned your cities. Even we Zhao people feel ashamed of this. It’s not wise for us to turn against each other.” The King of Chu agreed, “You’re right. We should fight Qin together.” After Prince Pingyuan returned home, he treated Mao Sui as a respected guest. 33．What does the underlined phrase “at their wits’ end” mean in Paragraph 8? A．勃然大怒 B．欣喜若狂 C．灵光乍现 D．束手无策 34．What can we know from the story? A．Mao Sui was no good at anything. B．Mao Sui was patient enough to wait for his time. C．Pingyuan knew Mao Sui very well before they went to Chu. D．An assassin with a sword came in to kill the King of Chu, but failed. 35．What can we infer about Mao Sui’s personality from the story? A．He is generous and modest. B．He is brave and confident. C．He is serious and careful. D．He is patient and curious. 36．Which is most likely to happen if Mao Sui didn’t offer to go with Prince Pingyuan? A．Chu would fight Qin with Zhao together. B．Pingyuan would take the nineteen advisors with him to Chu. C．An assassin would kill the King of Chu. D．Pingyuan would finish the task perfectly. 四、还原句子(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六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Houseplants make you happy Bring the outside in to boost (使兴旺；使增长) your wellbeing (康乐). Plants aren’t just nice to look at. They can also help your health and wellbeing. This is especially true indoors. Find your perfect plant There are many different types of houseplants. There are tiny succulents and cacti, hanging plants with trailing foliage and plants that can grow more than a metre tall and wide. Your curiosity and knowledge of nature will develop as you research and learn about different plants. You will also learn about the conditions they need to thrive. 37 Plants need water, light and attention. Caring for plants teaches you how to be responsible. Rowan Hammond runs a plant and flower shop called Green and Grounded. She says looking after plants improves your attention to detail. It is a great way to gain a sense of purpose. And it is an exciting way to learn about the influence your actions have on others. 38 . They can also inspire new ideas. You’re rewarded for the love and care you give. You feel like you have achieved something when you see the plant growing and flowering. You also develop patience. You can’t make the plant grow faster. 39 Houseplants help you feel calmer and less anxious. Studies show that nature lowers stress levels and boosts your mood. Hammond says, “Surrounding yourself with foliage helps you relax and soothes (缓解) you.” Looking after plants gives you something to focus on. 40 . Plants take in the carbon dioxide we breathe out. They release oxygen, which we breathe in. This may also help you to sleep at night especially if you have a plant such as lavender (薰衣草) in your room. Some plants are medicinal. The gel (啫喱) released by snipping an aloe vera leaf (芦荟叶) soothes sunburn. On a windowsill you can grow plants to eat, such as salad leaves, tomatoes or even chillis. A．Plants are mood boosters B．Plants can boost creativity C．The good points of houseplants D．This can take your mind off worries E．Plants make our body stronger F．People may have different ideas about different plants 五、阅读短文，回答问题。41-43题答案不超过10个单词（共4小题；前3小题每题2分，第4小题3分；满分9分）。 In a village school in Hubei, teachers find that mobile phone addiction (瘾) has become a new problem among teenagers. Their students play games on mobile phones after returning home, and some of them don’t complete homework. When they’re in class, they still think about their games. Pan Jiani, 11, likes watching funny short videos on the phone. Her parents are working in the city. Now she lives with her grandparents. “If she stays with us, the time of playing on her mobile phone can be limited. If we’re not around, she sometimes plays for a long time,” said her grandpa. According to the teachers, boys prefer to play games. Pan Longye, 11, likes watching cartoons and playing games on the phone. His mother said, “Sometimes I give the mobile phone to him, and then I’m so busy that I forget it. In this situation, he plays for two or three hours.” Research shows that when it comes to playing on mobile phones, the city children can be controlled by their parents, while the village children can hardly be controlled by their grandparents. How can families and society help solve this problem? Since most left-behind children (留守儿童) live with their grandparents, it’s necessary for the elderly people to organize activities for children after school, like doing some housework and farm work, The Internet should also provide left-behind children with interesting learning resources, which can draw their attention and help them avoid harmful information online. 41．What’s the new problem among teenagers in the village school? 42．What does Pan Jiani often do on the mobile phone? 43．According to the passage, who are stricter, parents or grandparents? 44．As a teenager, how can you use mobile phones wisely? 六、综合填空(共10小题;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。 The crested ibis (朱鹮) is 45 type of bird.
