After 17 months, he successfully finished his journey in early January 2023. Four children survived (幸存) by themselves in the Amazon rainforest in Colombia for 40 days after a small airplane crashed (坠毁) there on May 1, 2023. They were finally saved after living over a month in the jungle (丛林). The news of their safety brought joy to the whole country. Students in the Netherlands (荷兰) made a strong car called Stella Terra. It runs on solar power (太阳能). This is the first solar-powered car that can travel long distances off-road (越野地) without needing to stop to recharge (再充电). 根据语言材料内容，选择最佳答案。 21. When did Liam Garner start out on his adventure? A.

(B) “Why did she spill (洒) the beans?” I thought regretfully (惋惜地). I’ll always remember that day, when I was so surprised by all the strange looks people gave me. I couldn’t believe I had lost the friendship of the person I trusted the most. Five years back, Sally was the new kid in class. After a few months, we were best friends. Sally was the most friendly person I knew. Maybe that’s why I told her about my personal life. She then told everyone at school, exaggerating (夸大) the matter. It was like someone had stabbed (刺) me in the back. People started laughing at me whenever I passed by. To avoid embarrassment, I changed schools. Sally called me many times, but I didn’t want to talk to her. I tried to heal from the scars (伤疤) she left on my heart during five years. My life became normal. Then one day, I met Anna who was my classmate. She told me that Sally wasn’t the one who brought my secrets to light. Mary was .Mary was our school’s big mouth who always wanted to care about others’ business. I was all at sea (不知所措). I wished I could have asked Sally about this. I wished I could go back and fix my mistakes. From that, I learned a life lesson—we should be open to honest communication before jumping to conclusions (结论), because even one little mistake could really hurt our friendship. 根据短文内容判断正、误。 (正确的写A，错误的写B) 26. Spill (洒) the beans in the passage means bringing secrets to others. 27. The writer lost the friendship four years ago. 28. Anna shared the writer’s personal life with everyone, so the writer changed the school. 29. Someone stabbed (刺) the writer in the back and the writer was hurt badly and had scars. 30. According to the article, we learn that when we have problems in life, we need to learn to communicate honestly to solve the problem instead of keeping them to ourselves. (C) Have you ever been burned by a pie from KFC or McDonald’s? Many people on social media say that when the pie crust (外壳) feels cool enough to eat, the filling inside is still “as hot as lava (岩浆)”. To find out how hot the filling can be, a team in China did a test. They found that the average (平均的) temperature of the filling can reach 64 C when the pies are taken out of the oven. According to China Science Communication, the suggested temperature for food is around 10 C to 40 C, and food that is over 60 C can hurt our throat. The reason for this is that the filling is thick and not exposed (暴露) to air. Once heated, it keeps heat for a long time. The test shows that after a pie from KFC has been out of the oven for 10 minutes, the temperature inside still reaches 45.1 C. The temperature difference can be explained using a physics concept (概念) called specific heat capacity (比热容). This tells us how much heat is needed to change the temperature of 1 gram of something by 1 C. Something with a low specific heat capacity is like a small cup; it doesn’t hold much heat and cools down fast. Things with a high specific heat capacity take longer to cool down. Usually, liquids (液体) hold heat longer than solids (固体). As a pie’s filling has more water than its crust, it takes more time for the filling to fully cool down. 根据短文内容选择最佳答案。 31. What is the problem with pies from KFC or McDonald’s? A. The fillings taste like lava. B. They cool down too quickly. C. The hot fillings can burn eaters. 32. What is the safe temperature range for food? A. From -10 C to 40 C. B. From 10 C to 40 C C. From 25 C to 60 C. 33. What is the main reason why the pie filling stays hot longer than the crust? A. The pie filling is thicker than the crust. B. The filling is made of special food. C. The filling has a higher specific heat capacity. 34. According to the last paragraph, which of the following cools down the slowest at the same temperature? A. Bowl. B. Cake. C. Milk. 35. What is the passage mainly about? A. Why pie fillings cool down slowly. B. What specific heat capacity is. C. What helps cool down a pie quickly. (D) What is your star sign (星座)? ____36____ Believe it or not, your star sign may be a guide for you to become famous, according to scientists from the University of Connecticut, US. Mark Hamilton from the university collected and studied the birth months of 300 famous people. ____37____ He found that famous people tended to (倾向于) have been born around the period of December to March. This meant their star signs would be Aquarius (水瓶座) and Pisces (双鱼座). Here we are talking about “relative (相对的) age”, which is an important factor to decide how successful someone will become, according to Hamilton. ____38____ It suggests those born near the beginning of the school year in September—and so are older compared to their classmates—are more likely to be successful. “Higher performance on mental and physical tasks during childhood development would promote ambition (野心),” Hamilton told the Daily Mail. Accumulated (积累的) across at least 12 years of education, ____39____. That seems to make sense, but don’t take it too seriously. ____40____ Whatever our star sign, we are all born with different talents and potentials (潜能) that can shape our personalities, and our choice of careers, in later life. 根据短文内容，选出能够填入空白处的最佳选项。 A. Some scientists think the study is controversial (有争议的). B “Relative age” is the time a child was born compared to when their classmates were born. C. this long-term achievement could lead to personal success. D. They were from the fields of politics (政治), public life, literature, science, art and sports. E. Some people take star signs seriously while others simply think they’re fun. 四. 任务型阅读（本题共25分，每题1分） 先阅读A，B，C三篇短文，根据题目要求及所给语境完成下列四项任务。 (A) 根据短文内容，选择适当的单词填空，使短文意思完整。每个选项只用一次。 more slowly, unhealthy, starts, sound, because, deal with, comes, mostly, fourth, both People often set many alarms (闹钟) to wake themselves up on time. However, this can be ____41____ as it reduces the quality of sleep, said Brandon Peters, a doctor from Virginia Mason Franciscan Health in Seattle, US. A good sleep has four stages (阶段). During the first stage, we enter a light sleep. Our body relaxes, and our heart beats ____42____. As we fall deeper into sleep, stage two ____43____. Our eyes stop moving, and our body temperature becomes lower. Then ____44____ the third stage. It is the deepest sleep and also the hardest to wake up from. Last is the ____45____ stage.

REM sleep is important ____47____ most of our dreams take place during it. This helps us ____48____ emotions and remember the new things that we learned during the day. REM sleep ____49____ takes place in the last hours of a night’s sleep. So, disrupting (打扰) it with alarms ringing one after another is a bad idea. People should set one alarm only. They can also try alarms that use light, not ____50____, Alicia Roth at the US Cleveland Clinic told CNN (B) Do you think intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) is just about old relics (遗迹)? Not really. In fact, it is much more than that. For students at Tsinghua University Middle School in Beijing, it turned out to be a great way to experience history and art in real life. In November, 7th graders visited Qianmen Street, a place full of history and tradition. There, they learned about Peking Opera and tasted the famous Beijing zhajiang noodles. The students also tried many hands-on activities, and watermark wood printing (木刻水印) was everyone’s favorite. In this traditional art form , people use a piece of wood with a special design (设计) to print beautiful images (图案) on paper. “Watching the masters (大师) guide us step by step, I could feel their love for this craft,” said 13-year-old Mu Rongxiao. The students not only watched but also became artists themselves. By making their own prints, they learned more about this old technique (技艺). The experience also made the students more interested in intangible cultural heritage. 根据短文，内容回答问题。 51.

Where did 7th graders from Tsinghua University Middle School go in November? _______________________________________________________________ 53.

You might prepare to take a trip with your family during the coming National Day holiday. Will it be a “laid-back tourism (摆烂式旅游)”, or a “healing retreat (疗愈之旅)”? The choices seem never-ending. But did you know that not long ago, many Chinese people traveled by just following tour guides and taking photos? So why have so many new travel ways appeared in just a few years? There are many reasons. For one, young people don’t like fixed (固定的) plans anymore. They like to explore, especially less-visited places better. Some even go to small towns for music festivals, choosing personal interests over popular places. Many also start trips without any plans, enjoying surprises along the way. A growing focus on feelings also plays a role, according to People’s Daily. “Just visiting” is not enough anymore. People want immersive (沉浸的) experiences, like joining local activities or relaxing by a campfire. At the same time, businesses and local governments are also introducing different policies (政策) to attract tourists. China’s tourism market is still changing quickly. Will you be the one to start the next trend (潮流)? 根据短文内容完成下列句子，每空1词。 56. You might be ________ to travel with your family during the coming ________ Day holiday. 57.
