His story passes on the spirit of courage and perseverance, touching the hearts of many people. In 1975, at the age of 26, Xia attempted to climb Mount Qomolangma, the world’s highest mountain. Unfortunately, terrible weather prevented him from reaching the top. During the climb, a teammate suddenly fell into a dangerous situation due to the cold. Xia selflessly gave his sleeping bag to the teammate. As a consequence, his own legs were severely frozen after hours of exposure to the extreme cold. Later, doctors had to remove both of his legs to save his life. Though Xia was deeply sad after the operation (手术), he didn’t give up his hope of climbing Mount Qomolangma. He still wanted to conquer (征服) the high mountain. With the help of artificial legs, he began to train seriously. Every day, he got up early to go running, spent hours cycling, and did a lot of exercises to build up his body. The artificial legs often caused pain, making each step difficult, yet he persisted for many years. Over the years, Xia made four more attempts. Each time, he faced not only strong winds and heavy snow but also low oxygen levels that made breathing hard. But he never quit, always encouraging himself with the dream in mind. Finally, in 2018, when he was 69, he succeeded in standing on the summit of Mount Qomolangma. Looking at the beautiful view below, he burst into tears of joy.

One good way that many students in my country find helpful is using a worry box. Let me explain how to make and use one. Try using a worry box   Make a special box Use colourful things and pictures to make your worry box. Here is a picture of my worry-eating monster (怪兽) box! Write down your worries Take some pieces of paper and write down your worries. Rate (评价) your worries and store them in the box If you like, place each worry on a scale (等级) from 1 to 10. 1 means “a little worried” and 10 means “the most worried”. For example, today I put two worries into the box. I rated “losing my new bike” 7 and “worrying about the math exam” 4. Talk it out Make sure to make some time every day or every week to talk about your worries with your parents. Together, you can find ways to deal with them. Remember, it’s not healthy to carry worries around in your head. The worry box provides a safe place to “share” your worries. By using it, you’ll learn to deal with your worries. Take care!

Passage 9 Conquering Nature: The Story of the Trans-Siberian Railway Building the Trans-Siberian Railway was one of the greatest challenges in history. It is the longest railway in the world, stretching about 9,289 kilometres from Moscow to Vladivostok. The project began in 1891 and took over 25 years to complete. Workers faced terrible conditions along the way. They had to build tracks through frozen ground, deep forests, and high mountains. In winter, temperatures dropped to -50°C, making it almost impossible to work outside. Many workers fell ill or died from cold and hard labour. However, the Russian people were determined to complete the railway. They built bridges across huge rivers like the Ob and the Yenisei. They dug tunnels through the Ural Mountains. Bit by bit, they pushed forward despite all the difficulties. Today, the Trans-Siberian Railway is not only a symbol of human determination but also an important link between Europe and Asia. It carries millions of passengers and tons of goods every year. As one engineer put it, “We didn’t just build a railway; we conquered nature itself.” 1.

Passage 10 “On the very first day of 2024, I saw the snows of Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa,” said Xu Zhuoyuan, a 17-year-old mountaineer from Hunan. Xu climbed the tallest peak (山峰) in Africa on Jan 1. She even stood on top of Mount Qomolangma last May, making her the youngest Chinese girl to climb to the world’s highest peak from the southern slope. Xu’s journey began on a trip to Sichuan four years ago. Passing by Mount Siguniang in Sichuan, she felt drawn (吸引) to its beauty and climbed it. She fell in love with mountaineering right then and there. For the next few years, Xu did hard training. She climbed peaks over 5,000 meters in Yunnan and Sichuan every month. She also did daily exercises like running, swimming and rope skipping. All that hard work got her ready for the big challenges she would face on Kilimanjaro. Above 4,000 meters on Mount Kilimanjaro, the weather is similar to a desert, with big temperature differences. During her seven-day climb, Xu faced changeable weather such as rain and strong winds. Staying warm and avoiding heat loss were very important. Xu had to keep an eye on the temperature and change her clothes when the temperature changed. This climb was also a learning experience for Xu. She was climbing with Xia Boyu, the first Chinese climber to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma with a prosthetic (假肢的) leg.“Every time I felt like giving up, just seeing Xia was enough to encourage me.He was almost 74 years old, but was still pushing on although he had bloodied legs from his prosthesis,“ Xu said.

I was happy for her, but I couldn’t help feeling a little envious (嫉妒). I comforted myself, thinking, “At least I have a hiking trip with Olivia to look forward to.” Later, Olivia told me she had to visit her uncle’s beach house, so our hiking trip was canceled (取消). “I’m sorry,” she said. I forced a smile (强颜欢笑), but my heart sank. It felt like all my fun plans were gone. Feeling disappointed, I saw our neighbour, Mrs. Daisy, in her garden. Hoping to forget my sadness, I offered to help her water the flowers. As I watered, Mrs. Daisy noticed my quiet mood. “Nora,” she said gently, “we must be careful about what we choose to nourish. If we water harmful plants or bad feelings, they will grow. But if we water beautiful flowers or good thoughts, that’s what we will get.” “I know,” I sighed (叹了口气), “but it’s hard to stop feeling sad.” “First, let yourself feel your feelings,” she advised. “Then, try to feed your mind with something positive—call a friend, go for a run, or just enjoy a beautiful flower.” I decided to take her advice.

His story passes on the spirit of courage and perseverance, touching the hearts of many people. In 1975, at the age of 26, Xia attempted to climb Mount Qomolangma, the world’s highest mountain. Unfortunately, terrible weather prevented him from reaching the top. During the climb, a teammate suddenly fell into a dangerous situation due to the cold. Xia selflessly gave his sleeping bag to the teammate. As a consequence, his own legs were severely frozen after hours of exposure to the extreme cold. Later, doctors had to remove both of his legs to save his life. Though Xia was deeply sad after the operation (手术), he didn’t give up his hope of climbing Mount Qomolangma. He still wanted to conquer (征服) the high mountain. With the help of artificial legs, he began to train seriously. Every day, he got up early to go running, spent hours cycling, and did a lot of exercises to build up his body.

As a consequence, his own legs were severely frozen after hours of exposure to the extreme cold. Later, doctors had to remove both of his legs to save his life.”可知，夏无私地把睡袋给了队友，结果自己的双腿在长时间暴露在极寒中后严重冻伤，后来医生不得不切除他的双腿以挽救他的生命。因此，直接结果是他的双腿冻伤，后来被切除。 2. 根据第三段“The artificial legs often caused pain, making each step difficult, yet he persisted for many years.”可知，假肢经常引起疼痛，使每一步都很困难，但他坚持了很多年。根据语境可知，尽管假肢引起疼痛，但他仍然坚持了很多年，因此“persisted”的意思是“坚持努力”。 3. 根据第三段“Every day, he got up early to go running, spent hours cycling, and did a lot of exercises to build up his body. The artificial legs often caused pain, making each step difficult, yet he persisted for many years.”可知，他每天早起跑步，花几个小时骑自行车，做很多运动来锻炼身体。假肢经常引起疼痛，使每一步都很困难，但他坚持了很多年。因此，夏的训练异常艰难是因为假肢引起疼痛和困难。 4. 根据文章最后一段“Xia Boyu’s story shows us that no matter how difficult life gets, we should keep pursuing our dreams. He is a true hero, and we can all take valuable lessons from him.”可知，夏的故事告诉我们，无论生活多么艰难，我们都应该坚持追求自己的梦想。他是一个真正的英雄，我们都可以从他身上学到宝贵的教训。因此，我们能从夏的故事中学到永不放弃会带来成功。 Passage 3 Dear Sun Meng, In your last e-mail, you asked me how to deal with stress and worries. One good way that many students in my country find helpful is using a worry box. Let me explain how to make and use one. Try using a worry box   Make a special box Use colourful things and pictures to make your worry box. Here is a picture of my worry-eating monster (怪兽) box! Write down your worries Take some pieces of paper and write down your worries. Rate (评价) your worries and store them in the box If you like, place each worry on a scale (等级) from 1 to 10. 1 means “a little worried” and 10 means “the most worried”. For example, today I put two worries into the box. I rated “losing my new bike” 7 and “worrying about the math exam” 4.

His grandparents were waiting for them happily at home. “Luckily, my grandson knew how to ask for help, and he saved the whole family,” said his grandma. One cold winter night last week, when John and his parents used charcoal (木炭) to keep warm, they closed all the doors and windows of the room. However, before going to bed, John suddenly felt unwell. He felt dizzy (头晕) and had difficulty breathing. When he tried to talk with his parents, he found that they couldn’t answer him. At that time, John thought they might suffer from carbon monoxide poisoning (一氧化碳中毒), and he became nervous. But then he knew he had to keep calm. At first, he opened the windows and doors to let the fresh air in. Then he picked up his father’s phone to call 120. While he was waiting for the doctors, he shouted to neighbors aloud for help. The neighbors ran over at once and moved his parents outside the house together. Finally, John and his parents were sent to the hospital and saved in time. “Were you afraid at that moment?” a reporter asked. “In fact, I was. But our school has lessons about safety every week, and our teachers often teach us what to do when we are in danger. I followed the teachers’ advice. I think they are really helpful. So I want to let more people know how important safety education is,” John answered. 1. What was the main reason that caused danger to John’s parents? A．They were too tired at that time.

A．The Importance of Safety Education B．Opening Windows before Sleeping C．Children’s Love for Their Parents D．How to Make Emergency Calls Correctly 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A 4. A 【导语】本文主要讲述了12岁男孩约翰在父母因一氧化碳中毒昏迷时，冷静采取急救措施并成功挽救全家生命的故事，同时强调了安全教育的重要性。 1. 根据第二段中“when John and his parents used charcoal (木炭) to keep warm, they closed all the doors and windows of the room”以及“John thought they might suffer from carbon monoxide poisoning”可知，约翰父母陷入危险的主要原因是用木炭取暖且关闭了所有门窗，导致一氧化碳无法排出。 2. 根据第二段中“When he tried to talk with his parents ... John and his parents were sent to the hospital and saved in time.”可知，约翰发现父母无应答后，立刻判断出可能是一氧化碳中毒，随后冷静地开窗通风、拨打120、向邻居呼救，一系列正确的施救行为挽救了全家，由此可判断出，他非常聪明。 3. 根据第二段中“While he was waiting for the doctors, he shouted to neighbors aloud for help”可知，约翰在等待医生到来时，向邻居大声呼救。 4. 文章讲述了约翰凭借学校的安全教育知识成功自救并救了父母的故事，最后约翰也强调“how important safety education is”，因此文章的核心是凸显安全教育的重要性。 Passage 8 We want to know what you do in your free time. Welcome to leave your messages. I love cats! I like watching cat videos every day. I love taking photos when I see them too. And I collect things with cats on them—cards, notebooks. T-shirts and other things like those. But we can’t have cats at home because my dad doesn’t like them! My favourite thing to do is to look at maps on the computer. I like using “street view” (街景地图) and I just think that I’m walking in a street somewhere. I try and “visit” a different place in the world three times a month. I don’t really like sport, but I’m crazy about the New Zealand rugby (橄榄球) team, the All Blocks. My uncle and aunt live there and they love rugby. I watch the games and collect anything about them! Four times a month, my uncle and I talk on the phone about the All Blacks—I love that! 1. What doesn’t Helen collect? A．Cards. B．Notebooks. C．T-shirts. D．Videos. 2. How often does John “walk” in a different place in the world? A．Three times a week. B．Four times a week. C．Three times a month. D．Four times a month. 3. Which sentence may Lucas say?

A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，介绍了三个人在空闲时间的爱好，包括Helen喜欢猫及相关物品收集、John喜欢在电脑上通过街景地图“游览”世界各地、Lucas热爱新西兰橄榄球队并收集相关信息。 1. 表格第一行提到“And I collect things with cats on them—cards, notebooks, T-shirts and other things like those.”，表明Helen收集带有猫图案的卡片、笔记本、T恤等物品，并未提及收集视频。 2. 表格第二行提到“I try and ‘visit’ a different place in the world three times a month.”，说明John每个月尝试“游览”世界上不同的地方三次。 3. 表格第三行提到“but I’m crazy about the New Zealand rugby (橄榄球) team, the All Blocks.”以及“I watch the games and collect anything about them!”，表明Lucas热爱新西兰橄榄球队并收集相关信息，因此他可能会说“My favourite player is Jordie Barrett.”。 4. 表格第三行提到“but I’m crazy about the New Zealand rugby (橄榄球) team, the All Blocks.”以及后文对Lucas热爱橄榄球队的描述，可以推断“crazy”在此处意为“非常热爱、痴迷”，与Mad“疯狂的、狂热的”意思相近。 Passage 9 Conquering Nature: The Story of the Trans-Siberian Railway Building the Trans-Siberian Railway was one of the greatest challenges in history. It is the longest railway in the world, stretching about 9,289 kilometres from Moscow to Vladivostok. The project began in 1891 and took over 25 years to complete. Workers faced terrible conditions along the way. They had to build tracks through frozen ground, deep forests, and high mountains. In winter, temperatures dropped to -50°C, making it almost impossible to work outside. Many workers fell ill or died from cold and hard labour. However, the Russian people were determined to complete the railway. They built bridges across huge rivers like the Ob and the Yenisei. They dug tunnels through the Ural Mountains. Bit by bit, they pushed forward despite all the difficulties. Today, the Trans-Siberian Railway is not only a symbol of human determination but also an important link between Europe and Asia. It carries millions of passengers and tons of goods every year. As one engineer put it, “We didn’t just build a railway; we conquered nature itself.” 1.

C．To emphasize the great achievement of humans. D．To describe the weather conditions. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. C 4. C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了西伯利亚大铁路的修建历程、工人们面临的极端困难以及这项工程所象征的人类决心与成就。 1. 第一段明确指出开工时间：“The project began in 1891”，即该工程1891年开工。 2. 第一段提到：“It is the longest railway in the world, stretching about 9,289 kilometres from Moscow to Vladivostok.”，此句描述铁路从莫斯科到符拉迪沃斯托克的全长与空间范围，结合选项可推知“stretching”意为“延伸”。 3. 第二段提到工人面临的困难：“They had to build tracks through frozen ground, deep forests, and high mountains.”，文中提到了冻土、深林和高山，未提到野生动物。 4. 本文围绕人类克服自然重重困难完成这项伟大工程展开，并且最后一段指出：“the Trans-Siberian Railway is not only a symbol of human determination but also an important link between Europe and Asia.”，因此作者引用“We didn’t just build a railway; we conquered nature itself”这句话是为了强调人类在极端困难下完成这一工程的伟大成就。 Passage 10 “On the very first day of 2024, I saw the snows of Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa,” said Xu Zhuoyuan, a 17-year-old mountaineer from Hunan. Xu climbed the tallest peak (山峰) in Africa on Jan 1. She even stood on top of Mount Qomolangma last May, making her the youngest Chinese girl to climb to the world’s highest peak from the southern slope. Xu’s journey began on a trip to Sichuan four years ago. Passing by Mount Siguniang in Sichuan, she felt drawn (吸引) to its beauty and climbed it. She fell in love with mountaineering right then and there. For the next few years, Xu did hard training. She climbed peaks over 5,000 meters in Yunnan and Sichuan every month. She also did daily exercises like running, swimming and rope skipping. All that hard work got her ready for the big challenges she would face on Kilimanjaro. Above 4,000 meters on Mount Kilimanjaro, the weather is similar to a desert, with big temperature differences. During her seven-day climb, Xu faced changeable weather such as rain and strong winds. Staying warm and avoiding heat loss were very important. Xu had to keep an eye on the temperature and change her clothes when the temperature changed. This climb was also a learning experience for Xu. She was climbing with Xia Boyu, the first Chinese climber to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma with a prosthetic (假肢的) leg.“Every time I felt like giving up, just seeing Xia was enough to encourage me.He was almost 74 years old, but was still pushing on although he had bloodied legs from his prosthesis,“ Xu said. Looking ahead, Xu has set great goals for herself. She plans to climb the highest peak on each of the seven continents (大陆) and visit the North and South Poles by the time she’s 18. 1.

D 【导语】本文介绍了17岁湖南登山者徐卓媛的登山经历，她攀登多座高峰并立志挑战七大洲最高峰与南北极。 1. 根据第三段“Passing by Mount Siguniang in Sichuan, she felt drawn to its beauty and climbed it. She fell in love with mountaineering right then and there.”，说明四川四姑娘山之旅让徐卓媛爱上了登山。 2. 根据第五段“During her seven-day climb, Xu faced changeable weather such as rain and strong winds.”，说明徐卓媛攀登乞力马扎罗山的主要挑战是多变的天气。 3. 徐卓媛攀登非洲最高峰、珠穆朗玛峰等世界高峰的经历，可推断她是勇敢的。 4. 文章围绕17岁女孩徐卓媛不断攀登世界最高峰的经历展开。对应D选项。 Passage 11 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 One day, my friend Mareya called to say she’d travel to Hawaii. I was happy for her, but I couldn’t help feeling a little envious (嫉妒). I comforted myself, thinking, “At least I have a hiking trip with Olivia to look forward to.” Later, Olivia told me she had to visit her uncle’s beach house, so our hiking trip was canceled (取消). “I’m sorry,” she said. I forced a smile (强颜欢笑), but my heart sank. It felt like all my fun plans were gone. Feeling disappointed, I saw our neighbour, Mrs. Daisy, in her garden. Hoping to forget my sadness, I offered to help her water the flowers. As I watered, Mrs. Daisy noticed my quiet mood. “Nora,” she said gently, “we must be careful about what we choose to nourish. If we water harmful plants or bad feelings, they will grow. But if we water beautiful flowers or good thoughts, that’s what we will get.” “I know,” I sighed (叹了口气), “but it’s hard to stop feeling sad.” “First, let yourself feel your feelings,” she advised. “Then, try to feed your mind with something positive—call a friend, go for a run, or just enjoy a beautiful flower.” I decided to take her advice. I called Olivia, shared my feelings with her, and we made a new plan to go hiking after she returned. After the call, I felt much better. I learned that while I can’t control everything, I can always choose what to focus on and nurture. 1. Why did Nora offer to help Mrs. Daisy water the flowers? A．Because Mrs. Daisy needed Nora’s help.
