It means a quiet time before a busy or hard time arrives. The saying was first used by fishermen. They found that just before a storm the sea (海洋) and the air would be very quiet. Soon, the clouds would get together and they’d hear the first thunder (雷声). How does this happen (发生)? Let’s see the science behind it! Warm air goes up Warm air is lighter than the cooler air around it. Just before a storm, warm air near the ground begins to go up quickly. Low pressure (气压) takes shape. As the warm air goes up, taking away a lot of energy (能量), it shapes a low air pressure area near the ground. Clouds build up. At the same time, high up in the sky, the warm air is cooling and getting together to become clouds. These clouds go on to build up, getting heavier and darker. Storm arrives. At last, this buildup of energy in the air makes the storm itself. The quiet ends as rain, wind, and thunder arrive. So, when things become quiet, don’t be fooled! Remember, this quiet doesn’t last long. A big storm might be just around the corner. Nature (自然) always has its ways to surprise us! 31. Just before a storm, the fishermen found ________. A. the sea would be scary B. the rain would be heavy C. the clouds would build up D. the wind would blow strongly 32. The underlined word “it” refers to (指的是) ________. A. the air B. the wind C. the quiet D. the cloud 33. According to (根据) the text, which one is TRUE? A. Clouds build up and become brighter. B. Warm air is heavier than the cooler air. C. The quiet before the storm lasts for a long time. D. Low pressure takes shape near the ground before a storm. 34. From the text, which picture can show how the storm happens? A. B. C. D. 35. What can be the best title for the text? A. The Buildup of the Clouds. B. The Arrival of the Storm. C. The Quiet before the Storm. D. The Moving of Warm Air. 【答案】31. C 32. C 33. D 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了暴风雨来临前的平静的原因，包括温度变化、低气压的形成和云的积聚等。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The saying was first used by fishermen. They found that just before a storm the sea (海洋) and the air would be very quiet. Soon, the clouds would get together and they’ d hear the first thunder (雷声).”（这句谚语最初是由渔民们使用的。他们发现暴风雨来临前，大海和空气都会非常平静。不久之后，云层会聚集在一起，他们会听到第一声雷声。）可知，在暴风雨来临之前，渔民们发现云会堆积起来。C项“云层会积聚起来。”符合。故选C。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“How does this happen (发生)? Let’s see the science behind it!”可知，it指代前句提到的this。而“this”指代的是第一段第一句“Have you ever heard the saying ‘the quiet before the storm (暴风雨)’?”中的“the quiet before the storm (暴风雨前的宁静)”。所以it指代“the quiet before the storm”。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Low pressure (气压) takes shape.”和“As the warm air goes up, taking away a lot of energy (能量), it shapes a low air pressure area near the ground.”可知，当暖空气上升时，带走大量能量，在地表附近形成低压区。和D项描述一致。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。通读全文可知，文中描述暴风雨形成的过程是暖空气上升，地表形成低气压，云聚积，最后暴风雨到来，B图符合这个过程。故选B。 【35题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“Have you ever heard the saying ‘the quiet before the storm (暴风雨)’? It means a quiet time before a busy or hard time arrives.”和通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了暴风雨来临前的平静的原因，包括温度变化、低气压的形成和云的积聚等。选项C“暴风雨前的宁静”，符合。故选C。 C 13-year-old Sarah sits in her yard, laying out her handmade crafts (手工制品) on the table. There are baskets, flower pots, and cloth bags—all made from recycled materials. They are not just creative objects; they’re part of Sarah’s project to make a greener community. Two years ago, Sarah would pass by a park near her house every day after school. Plastic bottles, empty cans, and broken toys littered the roadside. Seeing this, Sarah felt sad. One afternoon, Sarah noticed some kids selling orange juice at the park. People stopped to buy it. That was when Sarah got an idea. “Mom, what if we sell handmade crafts?” she asked excitedly that evening. “Then we can buy trees for our neighborhood with the money!” With her mom’s help, Sarah started making crafts with great interest, using old boxes, plastic bottles and empty cans. Every day after school, she sat in her yard, waiting for customers. At first, no one came. Sarah felt down, but she didn’t give up. Later, people began to stop by. A kind woman bought a cloth bag, saying it was perfect for shopping. Kids liked the flower pots, and one boy even asked Sarah to make him a special basket for his toys. By the end of the first month, Sarah had made $150! She bought 30 small trees. Together with her parents, they planted the trees around the park and along the sidewalks. Now, the neighborhood looks nicer, and the birds have more places to rest. Sarah even teaches her friends how to make eco-friendly (环保的) crafts after school. They organize sales every month to raise money for new projects like bird feeders. This year, Sarah shared her story at a local community event. “Making a greener community is important,” she said proudly. “If everyone helps a little, we can make our life better.” She believes that no effort is too small when it comes to caring for the environment. 36.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了莎拉通过卖手工工艺品来为社区购买小树苗，为鸟类提供更多的休息场所。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Mom, what if we sell handmade crafts?”可知，莎拉卖手工艺品来赚钱，故选D。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“At first, no one came.

Is it possible that you’ve been looking at math in the wrong way? Li Xing, a math professor at Ningxia University, thinks math can be beautiful and fun. I completely agree with what he said. Numbers Are Beautiful! Did you know there’s math hidden in the human body? Try measuring the length from your head to your belly button, and then from your belly button to your feet. The ratio (比例) of these two numbers is often close to 0.618. This is called the “golden ratio,” and it can be seen everywhere, like in nature, music and paintings. In Chinese poems, we can also see the beauty of numbers. As Li Bai wrote, “My boat has left ten thousand mountains far away.” “A thousand miles in one day”, —all these numbers show how fast Li Bai traveled and how happy he felt. Curves (曲线) Are Beautiful Too! Have you ever seen a “sine curve”? It moves endlessly in two directions, rising and falling like ocean waves. Looking at it can make you feel calm, as if you’re standing by the sea. Another curve, called the “tangent curve,” looks like a rushing waterfall. It reminds us of Li Bai’s line: “The waterfall flies down three thousand feet!” Formulas (公式) Can Be Amazing! Some math formulas are both simple and surprising. For example, in a right-angled triangle (直角三角形), the square of the longest side equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Isn’t that amazing? As the Chinese-American mathematician Shiing-Shen Chern once said: “Math is fun!” Maybe it’s time to discover the beauty and joy in math for yourself! 41. If the ratio of a thing is around 0.618, ________. A. it has a golden color B. it only happens in human bodies C. it looks like a human body D. it brings a sense of beauty 42. Why does the writer mention Li Bai and his poems in the passage? A. To introduce the topic. B. To support his opinion. C. To show the beauty in poems. D. To give a learning suggestion. 43. What does a “sine curve” look like? A. B. C. D. 44. What amazing formula is mentioned in the passage about right-angled triangles? A. B. C. D. 45. What is the passage mainly talking about? A. Math is hard and important. B. The life of a math professor. C. Math is beautiful and interesting. D. The ways of learning math. 【答案】41. D 42. B 43. A 44. B 45.

Mental Health. B. Movie Reviews. C. Social Survey. D. Photo Arts. B Have you ever heard the saying “the quiet before the storm (暴风雨)”? It means a quiet time before a busy or hard time arrives. The saying was first used by fishermen. They found that just before a storm the sea (海洋) and the air would be very quiet. Soon, the clouds would get together and they’d hear the first thunder (雷声). How does this happen (发生)? Let’s see the science behind it! Warm air goes up. Warm air is lighter than the cooler air around it. Just before a storm, warm air near the ground begins to go up quickly. Low pressure (气压) takes shape. As the warm air goes up, taking away a lot of energy (能量), it shapes a low air pressure area near the ground. Clouds build up. At the same time, high up in the sky, the warm air is cooling and getting together to become clouds. These clouds go on to build up, getting heavier and darker. Storm arrives. At last, this buildup of energy in the air makes the storm itself. The quiet ends as rain, wind, and thunder arrive. So, when things become quiet, don’t be fooled! Remember, this quiet doesn’t last long. A big storm might be just around the corner. Nature (自然) always has its ways to surprise us! 31. Just before a storm, the fishermen found ________. A. the sea would be scary B. the rain would be heavy C. the clouds would build up D. the wind would blow strongly 32. The underlined word “it” refers to (指的是) ________. A. the air B. the wind C. the quiet D. the cloud 33. According to (根据) the text, which one is TRUE? A. Clouds build up and become brighter. B. Warm air is heavier than the cooler air. C. The quiet before the storm lasts for a long time. D. Low pressure takes shape near the ground before a storm. 34. From the text, which picture can show how the storm happens? A. B. C. D. 35 What can be the best title for the text? A. The Buildup of the Clouds. B. The Arrival of the Storm. C. The Quiet before the Storm. D. The Moving of Warm Air. C 13-year-old Sarah sits in her yard, laying out her handmade crafts (手工制品) on the table. There are baskets, flower pots, and cloth bags—all made from recycled materials. They are not just creative objects; they’re part of Sarah’s project to make a greener community. Two years ago, Sarah would pass by a park near her house every day after school. Plastic bottles, empty cans, and broken toys littered the roadside. Seeing this, Sarah felt sad. One afternoon, Sarah noticed some kids selling orange juice at the park. People stopped to buy it. That was when Sarah got an idea. “Mom, what if we sell handmade crafts?” she asked excitedly that evening. “Then we can buy trees for our neighborhood with the money!” With her mom’s help, Sarah started making crafts with great interest, using old boxes, plastic bottles and empty cans. Every day after school, she sat in her yard, waiting for customers. At first, no one came. Sarah felt down, but she didn’t give up. Later, people began to stop by. A kind woman bought a cloth bag, saying it was perfect for shopping. Kids liked the flower pots, and one boy even asked Sarah to make him a special basket for his toys. By the end of the first month, Sarah had made $150! She bought 30 small trees. Together with her parents, they planted the trees around the park and along the sidewalks. Now, the neighborhood looks nicer, and the birds have more places to rest. Sarah even teaches her friends how to make eco-friendly (环保的) crafts after school. They organize sales every month to raise money for new projects like bird feeders. This year, Sarah shared her story at a local community event. “Making a greener community is important,” she said proudly. “If everyone helps a little, we can make our life better.” She believes that no effort is too small when it comes to caring for the environment. 36. What did Sarah sell to make money? A. Small trees. B. Orange juice. C. Plastic bottles. D. Handmade crafts. 37. Look at the mind map. Which of the following can be put in ▲ ? A. sad; sharing her story B. afraid; feeding birds C. bored; caring for nature D. nervous; recycling old boxes 38. What can you learn from Sarah’s words in the last paragraph? A. Doing is better than saying. B. Great hopes make great man. C. The first step is the only difficulty. D. Small actions can make a difference. 39. Which of the following can best describe Sarah? A. Kind and honest. B. Creative and helpful. C. Strict and friendly. D. Quiet and hard-working. 40. What is the best title for the passage? A. A Girl’s Dream Job B. A Community Park C. A Girl’s Green Project D. An Eco-friendly Habit D You may feel that math is difficult and boring. Is it possible that you’ve been looking at math in the wrong way? Li Xing, a math professor at Ningxia University, thinks math can be beautiful and fun. I completely agree with what he said. Numbers Are Beautiful! Did you know there’s math hidden in the human body? Try measuring the length from your head to your belly button, and then from your belly button to your feet. The ratio (比例) of these two numbers is often close to 0.618. This is called the “golden ratio,” and it can be seen everywhere, like in nature, music and paintings. In Chinese poems, we can also see the beauty of numbers. As Li Bai wrote, “My boat has left ten thousand mountains far away.” “A thousand miles in one day”, —all these numbers show how fast Li Bai traveled and how happy he felt. Curves (曲线) Are Beautiful Too! Have you ever seen a “sine curve”? It moves endlessly in two directions, rising and falling like ocean waves. Looking at it can make you feel calm, as if you’re standing by the sea. Another curve, called the “tangent curve,” looks like a rushing waterfall. It reminds us of Li Bai’s line: “The waterfall flies down three thousand feet!” Formulas (公式) Can Be Amazing! Some math formulas are both simple and surprising. For example, in a right-angled triangle (直角三角形), the square of the longest side equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Isn’t that amazing? As the Chinese-American mathematician Shiing-Shen Chern once said: “Math is fun!” Maybe it’s time to discover the beauty and joy in math for yourself! 41. If the ratio of a thing is around 0.618, ________. A. it has a golden color B. it only happens in human bodies C. it looks like a human body D. it brings a sense of beauty 42. Why does the writer mention Li Bai and his poems in the passage? A. To introduce the topic. B. To support his opinion. C. To show the beauty in poems. D. To give a learning suggestion. 43.
