The weather can turn bad, and accidents can happen quickly. One family experienced an accident while sailing. A large fish swam beneath their boat and made holes (洞) in it. Seawater began to fill the boat, and it soon sank. Luckily, they had a small lifeboat. They climbed aboard and spent many days there, eating, sleeping, and keeping hope alive. Eventually, a passing ship rescued them. How do people survive in such a small lifeboat for so long? They need to be strong in every way. They must stay hopeful and have a strong will to survive. People cannot drink seawater, as it would quickly make them sick. Instead, they need to collect rainwater to drink. They also catch fish and birds for food. Lifeboats rarely have cookers, so they cannot cook their food. Although eating raw fish and birds isn’t pleasant, it’s their only option—they have to eat them to survive. 4. Why did the family’s boat go down? A. The boat hit a rock. B. A fish made holes in it. C. The boat was too old. D. The weather was too bad. 5. What did the family do after the boat accident? A. They got into a lifeboat. B. They drank seawater. C. They waited for a ship to save them. D. They did nothing but hope to stay alive. 6. How did the family live in the lifeboat? A. By cooking food with a cooker. B. By eating the food they brought. C. By drinking seawater and eating raw fish. D. By catching rainwater and eating raw fish and birds. 7. What is the main idea of the text? A. A family’s sailing experience and difficulties. B. The importance of cooking food while traveling. C. The ways to find food and water at sea. D. The dangers of traveling by boat in bad weather. C ①Do you want to keep thin or look good? Do you want to stay away from health problems? Do you have sleep problems and want to get a better sleep? Do you want to make more friends? If you do, just exercise! You may hear lots of ways to keep healthy. Here are some easy-to-remember ways for you. ②Eat healthily. ________ It’s important to eat vegetables and fruit every day. It’s also a good idea to eat less sugar (糖) and drink more water. ③Move more and sit less. Although about 150 minutes of exercise a week is good, experts (专家) say that any activity is better than nothing. So try to stand up more often and do more activities. ④Get enough sleep. Most people need about 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night. If you feel tired when you do an activity, or if you need to drink coffee to make you not sleep, you may not get enough sleep. It’s not easy to get enough sleep, but it is a must for good health. ⑤Don’t exercise by yourself. When you exercise, ask a friend to go with you. He or she can encourage (鼓励) you when you feel tired. Then you will not stop exercising halfway. 8. How does the writer introduce (引入) the topic? A. By giving examples. B. By asking questions. C. By listing numbers. D. By sharing personal experience. 9.

What is the passage mainly about? A. Sleep. B. Sports. C. Food. D. Health. D A new report says that African elephants use “names” to call each other, just like people do. This finding could help to protect (保护) these elephants, who are in danger. The study was done by Save the Elephants, Colorado State University, and Elephant Voices. Scientists recorded (记录) the sounds of wild elephants in Kenya. They found that elephants use special sounds, called “vocal labels (声音标签)”, to call each other. They found these sounds by using a computer. When the sounds were played again, elephants answered most to the sounds meant for them. Experts say this will help us understand (理解) elephants better and protect them. George Wittemyer said this study was to help people become more interested in protecting elephants. The study was only about African elephants, because Asian elephants are different. Because of being hunted (狩猎) and losing their homes, African elephants are in great danger. There are about 400,000 African elephants in the wild and 60,000 in Asia. Frank Pope said that although elephants and people are different, they also share some things in life. Using AI to learn more about elephants is just the beginning, and finding elephant “names” is a part (部分) of that. 12. What can elephants do just like people? A. They can call each other by their names. B. They can respond to all the sounds. C. They can record their sounds. D. They can study their sounds. 13. What does the underlined word “They” mean? A. The elephants. B. The scientists. C. The sounds. D. The vocal labels. 14. Which of the following questions does Paragraph 5 answer? A. How did the scientists do the study? B. Why did the scientists do the study? C. How can we protect the African elephants? D. What’s the difference between Asian and African elephants? 15 Which can be the best title for this passage? A. How Elephants Make Sounds B. Elephants’ Homes Are Disappearing C. Elephants Use “Names” to Call Each Other D. Scientists Protecting Elephants From Hunters 第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 下面文章中有四处需要添加小标题，请从方框中所给的A—E五个选项中选出符合意思的标题（其中一项是多余选项），并回答最后小题。 All clever people know that it takes some time to improve (改善) your life.
