Dear Terry,
I hope this email finds you well. I’m writing to share with you some exciting news about our school’s Fun Sports Day.
The Fun Sports Day, which kicked off last Friday, was a fantastic event filled with laughter and competition. We had various games and activities, including relay races, tug-of-war, collective sit-ups and long rope jumping. The weather was perfect and the entire school participated enthusiastically. It was a day filled with teamwork, sportsmanship and lots of cheering. My class won the championship in the collective sit-ups. Overall, the Fun Sports Day was a memorable experience. It was not just about winning, but it was also about having fun and creating lasting memories.
I hope this gives you a glimpse of the event. I can’t wait to hear about any similar events you might have in New Zealand.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Paragraph 1:
Now involved, the man stopped reading and also stared at the window. However, after a while, the boy’s face turned pale, seemingly feeling like sitting on pins and needles. The man noticed that and tried to comfort the boy. He said gently, “Don’t worry. Whatever happens, please remember that there is always light behind the clouds.” After hearing his words, the boy turned his head and looked at him. The man added, “I’m a father, too. Parents are always there and never let go of their children.” The boy nodded, eyes full of hope.
Paragraph 2:
A few moments later, the conductor came along and called out, “Next stop---Smithville.” The boy could not move. The man, however, looked as hard as he could. And then he saw it! He shouted so loud that all the people in the train turned around. “It’s there! Look! The tree is covered with yellow ribbons! Not just one, there’s a whole bunch!” The father had every reason not to put up a yellow ribbon and yet he did. Only a father whose love is real could blanket the tree with yellow ribbons, each one of them proclaiming reconciliation.

M: And what exactly do you do?
W: There are two parts to my job. I write texts for websites. For example, I’ll write the text for an online travel site.
M:Sorry, Sharon, I didn’t catch that last bit. The signal was really weak. Could you repeat it?
W: Yes, of course, an online travel site. I have to tell people about a particular place.
M: I see. What is the second part?
W: When you search for something online, there’ll be a lot of results, right?
M: Yes.
W: My job is to make sure the customers’ website is at the top of that list of results. Then more people will visit their site and, hopefully , they’ll get more sales.
M: How do you do that?
W: I do some research. I need to find out what keywords people usually use when they search for this kind of product or website, and then include those words and phrases in the texts I write.

A couple of years ago, Brown decided to add jellyfish to his highly experimental menu. The move was partly inspired by the growing numbers of jellyfish along New Zealand’s shores—a phenomenon linked to warmer sea temperatures—and also by rising public demand for more protein options.
The problem is that Brown has to import jellyfish from south Korea. Rules in New Zealand, mean that while its perfectly legal for an individual to use local species for personal meals, companies aren’t allowed to do the same. Despite these barriers , Brown hopes that the growing popularity of the seafood will change this rule as well as what people think about eating different ocean species.

Amazing national parks in the USA
Grand Canyon National Park
Large enough to fit 19 Statues of Liberty piled up on top of each other, Grand Canyon National Park is a sprawling gorge(峡谷)of layers in different colors of pink, red, and orange, revealing millions of years of geological history. Due to the absence of broad roads, there are only three ways to explore below the edges: hiking, mule trips, and river rafting trips. Visitors are reminded to mind their steps along the way.
Death Valley National Park
As the largest national park south of Alaska, Death Valley National Park is known for extremes: it is North America’s driest and hottest spot with less than two inches of rainfall annually, and it has the lowest altitude on the continent. Even with these extremes, the park still attracts nearly a million visitors each year.
Denali National Park Preserve
Larger than the state of New Jersey, Denali National Park & Preserve is a vast open field that is mostly untouched by human hands, apart from one park road and a few scattered services. It is known for extraordinary wildlife and big adventures, from backcountry camping to mountain climbing.
White Sands National Park
New Mexico’s White Sands National Park joined the big league in December 2019, becoming the 62nd national park in the National Park System. It protects the largest gypsum dune(石膏沙丘)on the earth, the remnants(残余部分)of previous lakes and seas, and a 275-square-mile basin. Visitors come to experience the eight-mile Dunes Drive, hike one of the five established trails, or see the soft sand appear blue-white under a full moon.
21. What can visitors do in Grand Canyon National Park?
A. Watch the largest gypsum dune.
B. Enjoy the sight of the Statue of Liberty.
C. Experience more adventurous hiking.
D. Explore more convenient paths to the gorge.
22. What’s special about Death Valley National Park?
A. It can be flooded easily. B. It has the extreme environment.
C. It has terrible traffic conditions. D. It can provide the chance to see the soft sand.
23. Which of the following parks is the most appealing to wildlife lovers?
A. Death Valley National Park. B. White Sands National Park.
C. Grand Canyon National Park. D. Denali National Park Preserve.
B
William Lindesay, well-known Great Wall expert and conservationist, and his wife Wu Qi have traveled across the globe by the back paths, providing their sons Jimmy and Tommy a unique environment for personal growth.
Sunhats, backpacks, sneakers and trekking poles—these are the day-to-day must-haves of the family. This East-meets-West couple started traveling while their younger son was still a baby in 2003. Most of their trips are far from the hot spots recommended by travel guidebooks—heritage study in the Mongolian deserts, a 53-kilometer hiking tour of New Zealand, a one-day climb of three English summits and a six-day train ride from Beijing to Moscow.
“Real travel may be hard, uncertain, uncomfortable, but there’s a feel-good factor when you pass a test of some kind,” Lindesay wrote in the family’s newly published travel memoir Pages of Discovery.
Lindesay attaches great importance to learning out of the classroom, saying that children might score well on school tests, but that experience of the world outside, in distant lands, with different languages, scripts, political structures, and religious beliefs, is the real testing ground.
Children in this international family did not have the same pressure to perform on school tests, but they had “homework” on the road. Wu asked her sons to write travel diaries, collect tickets, draw maps and summarize travel tips. She says such habits, though they might not directly improve test scores, will pay dividends in later life.
These experiences certainly shaped their sons’ characters and influenced their chosen study at university. One read world history, the other international relations. The two brothers also share an interest in historical monuments, and the Great Wall in particular. They are now planning to follow in their father’s footsteps with a new 4,500-km hike on the Great Wall.
“My parents view the world as a big classroom and my brother and I are the biggest beneficiaries,” Jimmy says.
24. Which of the following best describes their trips across the world?
A. Unique yet stressful. B. Complicated and dangerous.
C. Challenging yet educational. D. Entertaining and rewarding.
25. What do the underlined words “pay dividends” mean in paragraph 5?
A. Bring advantages. B. Pay a price.
C. Improve scores. D. Make mistakes.
26. What can we infer about the couple from the text?
A. They think little of school education.
B. They believe travel provides real education.
C. They require their sons to follow their career path.
D. They don’t expect their sons to perform well on school tests.
27. What does the family’s story tell us?
A. No road is long with good company.
B. Roads were made for journeys not destination.
C. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
D. lt is better to travel 10,000 miles than to read 10,000 books.
C
Over the last seven years, most states have banned texting by drivers, and public service campaigns have tried a wide range of methods to persuade people to put down their phones when they are behind the wheel.
Yet the problem, by just about any measure, appears to be getting worse. Americans are still texting while driving, as well as using social networks and taking photos. Road accidents, which had fallen for years, are now rising sharply. That is partly because people are driving more, but Mark Rosekind, the chief of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, said distracted (分心) driving was “only increasing, unfortunately.”
“Big change requires big ideas.” he said in a speech last month, referring broadly to the need to improve road safety. So to try to change a distinctly modern behavior, lawmakers and public health experts are reaching back to an old approach: They want to treat distracted driving like drunk driving.
An idea from lawmakers in New York is to give police officers a new device called the Textalyzer. lt would work like this: An officer arriving at the scene of a crash could ask for the phones of the drivers and use the Textalyzer to check in the operating system for recent activity. The technology could determine whether a driver had just texted, emailed or done anything else that is not allowed under New York’s hands-free driving laws.
“We need something on the books that can change people’s behavior,” said Félix W. Ortiz, who pushed for the state’s 2001 ban on hand-held devices by drivers. If the Textalyzer bill becomes law, he said, “people are going to be more afraid to put their hands on the cell phone.”
28. Which of the following best describes the ban on drivers’ texting in the US?
A. Ineffective. B. Unfair. C. Inconsistent. D. Unnecessary.
29. What can the Textalyzer help a police officer find out?
A. Where a driver came from. B. Whether a driver used their phone.
C. How fast a driver was going. D. When a driver arrived at the scene.
30. What does the underlined word “something” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Advice. B. Data. C. Tests. D. Laws.
31. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. The Next Generation Cell Phone: TheTextalyzer.
B. To Drive or Not to Drive? Think BeforeYou Start.
C. Texting and Driving? Watch Out for the Textalyzer.
D. New York Banning Hand-Held Devices by Drivers.
D
Rich variety exists in primates (灵长目动物). Monkeys roll on snowy Japanese mountains, gorillas chew fruit on Sumatra, lemurs jump between trees in Madagascar, and the naked apes—humans—walk proudly on two legs worldwide. Scientists can now study the DNA differences beyond that diversity, thanks to a databank of genomes (基因组) from 233 species.
To understand the good and bad of human evolution—both our extraordinary adaptations and disease-causing changes—scientists must compare the genomes of Homo sapiens (智人) to our closest evolutionary relatives, the primates. But researchers investigating diverse topics, from contemporary genetic diseases to human origins, have long faced a roadblock when pursuing this approach: While genomic data exists from millions of people, most of the 500-plus primate species never had their genomes read. So, in 2019, Tomàs Marquès-Bonet at the Institute of Evolutionary Biology, in Barcelona, Spain, and other biologists teamed up with disease researchers at the company Illumina, determined to obtain as many primate genomes as possible.
Navigating wilderness and local permitting laws, the international researchers obtained hundreds of blood samples from wild and caged animals in South America, Africa, and Asia. Arranging DNA from these samples and adding data from previous studies, the team built a bank of 809 genomes from individual baboons, gorillas, gibbons, and more, representing nearly half the known primate species.
The data revealed insights about human origins and health, as well as primate conservation, published by more than 100 scientists across 10 papers in Science and Science Advances in June 2023. One study trained artificial intelligence to search human genomes for DNA differences likely to cause disease, based on whether nonhuman primates can live with those variants. According to Marquès-Bonet, “We now have a really good list of the foundations of our species” and a “good idea of the kind of variations that are tolerated in any primate”—including humans.
32. What can we learn from paragraph 1?
A. Primates vary mainly in habitats.
B. Scientists focus on the diversity of primates.
C. Primate genomes are important for studying the DNA differences.
D. There are 233 species of primates with the DNA differences in the world.
33. Why did the scientists build the databank of genomes?
A. To cure human’s various genetic diseases.
B. To help human adapt to the environment.
C. To investigate the process of human evolution.
D. To understand the strength and drawback of human evolution.
34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The process of building the databank.
B. The reasons for building the databank.
C. The impacts of building the databank.
D. The difficulties in building the databank.
35. What does Marquès-Bonet think of the databank?
A. It still needs to be improved.
B. It is of great value to future research.

How does it feel when you solve your problem by yourself? Things may not always go as planned, but being resourceful can help you stay calm and work your way out of tricky situations.
Being resourceful means finding smart and creative ways to solve a problem, using whatever resources you have at the time. 36 They can also be anything else that’s useful, such as information, advice or your own experience. It also means trusting your instincts, the ability you’re born with, rather than through training and being confident about your ability to face challenges. A resourceful person is not the one getting cross or panicking when something goes wrong. They’re thinking about how to solve the problem.
37 When we learn to solve problems for ourselves rather than immediately going to others for help, it can help to build our confidence, help us feel more independent, and feel better about making decisions. Being resourceful may not help you avoid problems, but thinking creatively about how you can deal with them will make you feel less stressed and more prepared next time. 38 This can boost self-esteem, that is, how you feel about yourself.
When you’re facing a challenge, try to focus on the actual problem rather than how you feel about it. Think about where and when it happened and what the causes are. Next, think up as many solutions to the problem as you can. 39 Finally, review what has and hasn’t worked, so you’re equipped to deal with a situation next time.
And remember, if you have a tricky problem that you’re unable to solve, then ask a trusted adult for help. 40
A.You also learn what you’re good at.
B. Here is how you can be more resourceful.
C. They have practical things like pens and paper.
D. No one is expected to solve all problems by themselves.
E. Resourcefulness is a skill that’s good for you in lots of ways.
F. They can be famous mottos that always inspire us to move on.
G. Weigh up what’s good and bad about each one and choose the best.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之成为一篇完整的短文。
On a train to Smithville, a man happened to sit down next to a young man no more than 17 years old. Because the boy was tense, the man wondered what could be worrying him. Whatever it was, the boy’s tension was clear.
The boy kept staring out of the window, paying no attention to anyone else on the train. The man opened up a book and started reading. Now and then, he would look up and see the boy’s face pressed against the window. He sensed that the boy was fighting to keep from crying.
Finally, the boy asked the man, “Do you know what time it is? And do you know when we are to arrive at Smithville?” The man gave the boy the time. Then the boy told the man the whole story of his life. “Four years ago,” he said, “I did something bad hurting my dad, so bad that I had to run away from home. I couldn’t face my father. So I left without even saying goodbye to him. Since then, I have worked here and there. I never stayed very long in one place. I’ve been pretty lonely. Until finally, I decided that I want to go back to my father and apologized to him.”
The man went on to ask, “Does your father know you’re coming?” And the boy responded, “He knows I’m coming, but I don’t know if he will be there. I sent him a letter. I didn’t know if he would still want me back. I wasn’t sure if he would forgive me. So in my letter, I told him that if he wanted me to come home, he could put a sign on a tree which is a few hundred yards before the railroad station in Smithville. I told him that I would look for a yellow ribbon(丝带) on one of the branches of that tree as the train passes. If there is a yellow ribbon on the tree, then I’ll get off. If not, then I’ll just keep on riding to wherever this train goes.” The two of them were now waiting for Smithville.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;

Now involved, the man stopped reading and also stared at the window.
