Dear teachers and students,
There is no denying that electricity plays a great role in our life. However, it is being consumed too much, which is a waste of money and contributes to global warming. Therefore, as the chief editor of our school newspaper, I am writing to call on everyone to save electricity.
First of all, the simplest way to save electricity is to turn off lights whenever you leave a room. Besides, open up your curtains and let the sun shine in. Using natural light whenever possible instead of artificial light can greatly reduce the amount of electricity you use during the day. Last but not least, it is advisable to replace outdated energy-consuming appliances with energy-efficient ones, which saves more in the long run.
Every little bit counts. Let’s make joint efforts to save energy and live a green low-carbon life.

第二节(满分25分)
“Mr. Reed, I have something to tell you.” Mo whispered. Mr. Reed looked up from the papers. Mo said with anger, “I think Terry might be cheating on the exam. I saw her looking at her phone under the table. I’m sure she was reading answers from it.” Mr. Reed’s eyebrows furrowed in concern. He couldn’t bear anyone cheating, especially the student who he thought was an excellent one. So he let Terry in right away. “Did you use your phone in the exam?” He asked. Taking a glance at Mo, Terry understood what happened, and she took her phone out of the pocket and opened it. To their surprise, Terry cried and explained she was so worried about her father that she couldn’t wait to check the message.
Knowing the truth, Mo felt guilty. She realized that she had jumped to conclusions and hadn’t even tried to understand why Terry had been avoiding her. She realized that true friendship meant supporting each other through tough times, not just sharing happy moments. She decided to apologize to Terry and offer her support. After school, Mo found Terry alone and explained that she had misunderstood. Terry was relieved and grateful for Mo’s understanding. Their friendship was restored, and they learned an important lesson about the value of communication and compassion.

I remember that it was a fall morning when the orchestra (管弦乐队) teachers came into Miss Newell’s third-grade classroom. “You have hands for the viola (中提琴),” Miss Ciano told me. I was excited because my hands were finally good for something. I told my parents I wanted to play, and naturally, they agreed.
Since I first touched the viola, I haven’t been able to put it down. Ignoring the difficulty, I am pulled closer to it each day.
Classical music is truly my best friend. It is the trusted friend of every man, woman and child. Various feelings are expressed in classical music. I discovered that when I was eleven and played a cello concerto (大提琴协奏曲) of Bach in a competition, the first movement was joyful, but the second movement was mysterious and full of pain. From the piece, I learned that music expresses not only feelings, but also sudden mood changes. By listening to classical music, I know that someone else shares these feelings. Since I am lucky enough to be able to play classical music, I am comforted by it when I am upset. It gives me a way to escape from my problems for a short period. Classical music can express my joy, sadness and anger.
Now look back at that fall day in the third grade and think how gullible I was for believing that anyone, even music teachers, could tell whether hands were perfect for a certain instrument. I’m certain they told me I had “viola hands” not because they were fortune-tellers, but because there was a lack of violists in our district. Classical music is one of the best things that ever happened to mankind. If you get introduced to it in the right way, it will become your friend for life.
24. What’s the main cause of the author’s interest in playing the viola?
A. Interesting musical classes. B. Beautiful viola sound.
C. Teachers’ proper guidance. D. Parents’ strong support.
25. According to the passage, in what way does classical music help the author?
A. By developing social skills. B. By giving emotional comfort.
C. By broadening life experience. D. By building close relationship.
26. What does the underlined word “gullible” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Easily tricked. B. Firmly loved. C. Greatly challenged. D. Secretly hidden.
27. Which could be the best title for the passage?
A. Special Event, Sweet Memory. B. Classical Music, Endless Friendship.
C. Lifetime Dream, Great effort. D. Happy Childhood, Unforgotten Experience.
C
Landfills are places where a large amount of waste and other refuse is buried in the ground. They are responsible for releasing a large amount of planet-warming methane gas into the atmosphere, a new study suggests.
The study, which was published in Science Advances on Wednesday, is aimed at helping local governments carry out targeted efforts to limit global warming by identifying areas of major concern. For this purpose, the scientists used satellite data from four major cities around the world — Delhi and Mumbai in India, Lahore in Pakistan and Buenos Aires in Argentina.
Based on the collected data, the scientists have drawn the conclusion that landfills are the third-largest source of methane emissions (排放) worldwide, after oil and gas systems and agriculture. And further investigation shows that the methane released from the landfills is generated from the decomposition (分解) of natural waste in them, like food, wood or paper.
Methane, though only accounting for about 11 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, traps 80 times more heat in the atmosphere than CO2. Scientists estimate that at least 25 percent of today’s warming is driven by methane from human actions. That’s why landfills are partly to blame for the global warming.
Joannes Maasakkers, a leader of the study, said, “We found that these landfills, which are relatively small compared to city sizes, are responsible for a large part of total emissions from a given area.” Another scientist, Euan Nisbet, who was not part of the study, said, “This new work shows just how important it is to manage landfills better, especially in countries like India where landfills are often on fire, resulting in a wide range of damaging pollutants (污染物).” He also added that the newer satellite technology and on-the-ground research make it easier for researchers to identify “who is polluting the world”.
28. Why did the scientists carry out the study?
A. To reduce the emission of the methane. B. To help the authorities control the global warming.
C. To test out the new satellite technology. D. To clarify which places people are concerned about.
29. What do we know about methane gas according to the passage?
A. There exists methane in food, wood and paper.
B. Methane makes up most of the greenhouse gases.
C. More methane is released from landfills than from agriculture.
D. Methane prevents more heat in the air from escaping than CO2 does.
30. What’s Euan Nisbet’s attitude towards the study?
A. Favourable. B. Concerned. C. Unclear. D. Doubtful.
31. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Methane causes the temperature of the earth to go up.
B. Satellite data help identify the source of the pollutants.
C. Landfills are to blame for the release of much methane.
D. Waste and other refuse should be forbidden for their impact.
D
In Shakespeare’s HAMLET, Polonius asks the prince, “What are you reading, my Lord?” Hamlet replies, “Words, words, words.” Either, as is likely, Hamlet wasn’t interested in what he was reading, or, less likely, he didn’t understand the words he was reading. In this case, Polonius should have lent Hamlet a good dictionary.
Dictionaries are essential tools for people who like to read. There are so many words in English that even the most educated person will sometimes meet an unfamiliar word and have to look it up. Languages keep changing, too, with new words constantly being added and new meanings being applied to old words. For example, the 12th edition of Xinhua Dictionary, the most popular dictionary in China, has added new words such as “chu xin” “fen si” “er wei ma” etc. As for new meanings, “girl” once meant “a small child of either sex”. And “naughty” didn’t mean you were “enjoying playing tricks”; it meant you were poor.
A printed dictionary can’t keep pace with all the changes, which is why most dictionaries have websites and apps to help you keep up-to-date. However, I still prefer printed dictionaries because they give you more definitions and more examples of how a word is used. Even a simple word, such as “set”, has 430 meanings (the most of English words) but an online dictionary would only offer two or three. A printed dictionary also gives you the opportunity to discover new words as you run your finger down the page looking for the word you want.
There is no “official” English dictionary, but the Oxford English Dictionary is considered to be the best. For English language learners, however, I would recommend the Collins COBUILD Dictionary for Advanced Learners. Hamlet, by the way, was Danish and a college student. He would have appreciated the Collins Dictionary to help himself with his words, words, words. This dictionary has over 40,000 words and gives you full-sentence definitions with good examples of how words are used.
32. What’s the function of paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic. B. To let the readers know more about HAMLET.
C. To arouse readers’ interest in Shakespeare. D. To explain when it’s necessary to use a dictionary.
33. Why does the author mention “girl” in paragraph 2?
A. To show how powerful Xinhua Dictionary is.
B. To support the idea: languages keep changing.
C. To prove new words are being added to dictionaries.
D. To imply “girl” also means “boy” in some cases.
34. What’s the author’s attitude to printed dictionaries?
A. Favorable. B. Ambiguous. C. Negative. D. Critical.
35. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the last paragraph?
A. To introduce the history of dictionaries. B. To call on learners to use dictionaries.

Kala has deep ties to her Hawaiian roots. Her ancestors navigated(航行)the oceans for centuries using their knowledge of the stars, the sun, the currents and the wind. 36 .
It’s not that she navigates without technology. Rather, she uses the natural technology around her. It’s called Wayfinding, and it was taught to her by her father. 37 . He also taught her how to use them to hold the course. Over 200 stars have specific names and purposes when they are Wayfinding. They have to look at each of the stars and determine if they are rising or setting.
During the day, Kala uses the sun until it hits a certain height. 38 , she looks for certain species of land birds and stationary clouds that indicate there is land below. When Kala sails, she feels “very connected to my past and where I came from. I feel very connected to the crew and the canoe. We’re a family.”
The voyage from California to Hawaii required Kala to spend long hours studying the day and the night skies. 39 . But it also had its moments of awe. For Kala, the beauty is in tying together the past and the present to enjoy the moment. So, when she is not sailing, she teaches Wayfinding skills to school-aged children in hopes of preserving the skills her ancestors relied on.
40 . But if we take the time to look up, to see the stars and the sun, the way the clouds move, the miracle of life beneath and above us, we will discover something deep inside us, something that will always lead to happiness.

D. When she got the hang of sailing on the sea
E. It was a traditional technique that uses nature
F. He taught her how to read the stars and the waves

Mo and Terry were best friends. Whether they were walking to school, doing homework or just hanging out at the weekend, they were hardly out of each other’s sight. But several weeks ago, Terry started to stay away from Mo, which confused Mo.
This day, they had a physics exam, so Mo was waiting outside her class. She hated physics, because it was her worst subject. Terry looked back at her from the front, then looked away quickly. Mo thought she looked guilty. Terry didn’t have a problem with physics.
“Hi, Mo. What’s wrong with Terry? I thought you were friends,” said one of her classmates, as Mo arrived.
“Yes, so did I,” said Mo, “but she hasn’t spoken to me for two weeks. She promised to help me revise for the physics exam, but then she ignored all my calls and texts. And when I rang her house, her mum told me she was busy. She doesn’t remember who her friends are!” said Mo angrily.
The other students were going into the exam room. The exam started. Mo couldn’t answer question number five. She looked up and saw Terry sitting in the next row. Mo was surprised. Terry was holding her phone under the table and she was reading from it. Is that how Terry always got good grades? She felt really angry at Terry but didn’t know what to do. It wasn’t fair! Mo never cheated and she failed lots of exams.
Terry had already put her phone away when Mo looked up again. She looked back at Mo and smiled sadly. Actually, Terry’s family were having a terrible time: her father was in the hospital because of a heart attack. Her father had a big operation today, and Terry was very worried. She couldn’t wait to check her mother’s message on the phone. But Mo knew nothing about it.
The bell rang. “Stop writing and put your pens down,” said Mr. Reed, a caring and easygoing teacher who was popular among students. Oh no, Mo hadn’t answered two of the questions. She was going to fail again!
After the test, Mo wanted to talk to Terry, but she couldn’t find her. She was angry with Terry but she didn’t know what to do about Terry. Then, Mo decided to go to the office.
