Lena Lena always comes first in every maths exam and competition. However, this success is never just the result of talent. The notebooks full of maths problems on her desk show her hard work. Personal motto (座右铭): Talent may decide where I start, but effort decides how far I can go. Mark As the leader of the school football team, Mark has led his team to many wins. But even when they lose, he never complains (抱怨). Instead, he cheers on his teammates and sincerely (真诚地) congratulates the other team. Personal motto: Winning isn’t everything. Showing good sportsmanship matters more. Sarah Sarah is an experienced volunteer. She began to volunteer in the fifth grade, helping to care for homeless dogs. Now, she spends her weekends chatting with the elderly at the nursing home and her holidays picking up rubbish on the beach.

In the past, dinner was a time for family to share stories and for kids to learn from their parents. Now, eating quickly is more important than enjoying good food or spending time together. Fast food leads us to hurry, not to wait patiently. Another problem is that fast food makes the world have fewer differences. Wherever you go, the menu is similar. It seems a one-size-fits-all meal—hamburgers, potato chips, and sugary drinks. Local food traditions and cultures are greatly influenced by the same offering. Health is also a big problem. Fast food usually contains too much fat, salt, and sugar. Studies show that it can make people put on weight and cause diseases like heart problems. Sadly, the poorest communities suffer most. It’s no surprise that fast food restaurants are often found there and there’s not enough affordable and healthy food. Even though it harms their health over time, they still have a large amount of fast food. Of course, fast food is convenient for busy modern life and we may not be able to completely avoid fast food. But we must understand its dangers—it’s harmful to health and social structures (结构). Food isn’t just something to eat—it’s about culture, family, and connection. Realizing the dangers of fast food is the first step towards change. By valuing real meals again, we can protect our traditions, health, and relationships. Let’s not allow fast food to take away what truly matters in life. 4. What role did dinner play in the past? A. It was a time to eat fast food quickly. B. It was a time for family to share stories and kids to learn from parents. C. It was a time to go to restaurants. D. It was a time to watch TV together. 5. According to the passage, how many bad influences (影响) of fast food are mentioned? A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5 6. What does the underlined word “matters” mean in the last sentence “Let’s not allow fast food to take away what truly matters in life”? A. happens B. is important C. is different D. is popular 7. What does the writer think of fast food according to the passage? A. It is healthy and delicious. B. It is useless and we should refuse it completely. C. It is popular and has no problems. D. It is convenient but has many bad influences. C Phones can help with navigation (导航) on road trips, but they can also take your attention away, which is dangerous. In America, it was reported that 324,819 people got connected to distracted (分心的) driving accidents in 2023, leading to 3,275 deaths. That meant 890 accidents each day connected to driving while distracted. In order to examine distracted driving problems among teenagers, researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital had over 1,100 teen drivers complete a question paper. They also had in-person interviews with 20 high school drivers. Even though most of the teens said they understood the dangers of distracted driving, they said they used their phones for 21.1% of the time when they were driving. Even more shocking are the reasons why the teens reported looking at their phones behind the wheel: 65% of the time was spent on watching videos for fun; 40% of the time was for texting; and 30% of the time was for navigation. “Driving distracted doesn’t just put the driver at risk; it puts everyone else on the road in danger,” said the study leader Rebecca Robbins. “The findings from the study can help us deal with the problems of teen distracted driving in the future. For example, we can help our kids set ‘Do Not Disturb’ mode (“勿扰”模式) before driving or place phones out of their reach while driving.” 8. How does the writer explain how dangerous distracted driving is? A. By telling stories. B. By listing numbers. C. By giving examples. D. By making comparisons. 9. What did the study find according to Paragraph 2? A. Phones were mainly used for navigation. B. Some teens never use phones while driving. C. Few teens understood the dangers of distracted driving. D. Teens spent over one-fifth of each car trip on their phones. 10. What does the phrase “connected to” mean in the sentence “That meant 890 accidents each day connected to driving while distracted”? A. 与……相关 B. 连接到 C. 接通电话 D. 被连接 11. What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing the passage? A. To tell readers that phones are useful for navigation. B. To show how many people died in 2023 traffic accidents. C. To teach teens how to watch videos safely while driving a car. D. To explain why teens use phones while driving and give advice. D Are Flying Cars Coming? With more and more new ways to get around, like shared bikes and self-driving cars, many people are asking, “Will we ever have flying cars?” The answer is, well, maybe! How do these flying cars work? They move a bit like helicopters (直升机). They take off by going straight up from a parking lot or driveway (私人车道). Then, they fly through the air to where they need to go. Would people like to drive a flying car? Why not? People could drive it up in the sky and wouldn’t have to slow down for bumps (隆起) or holes in the roads. Flying cars will move faster than traditional cars. No more sitting in traffic! People will get to work or school in record time. What about the planet? We all know that cars and trucks let out carbon dioxide (CO2), which isn’t good for the environment. But flying cars will run on electricity (电能) and be much better for the earth than traditional cars. In 2016, a study found that flying cars would cut carbon dioxide by 35% to 52%! ▲ No one knows for sure. Some say it could be soon. Others think it’ll never happen. They believe too many problems stand in the way of making flying cars a reality—How much noise and pollution will flying cars make? What rules and tests do flying cars need to be safe? Who will make sure flying cars don’t run into each other? Will flying cars be too expensive to repair? However, don’t give up on the dream of flying cars yet! Technology is getting better every day. Some companies are working hard to make this dream come true, including Boeing, Airbus SE, and Alphabet Inc. The next breakthrough (突破) could be just around the corner, and flying cars might become a reality soon. It’s just a matter of time! 12. Which of the following questions can be answered in Paragraph 3? A. How soon will flying cars meet the public? B. What kind of roads can flying cars use to take off? C.

They are safer. B. They are greener. C. They are less expensive. D. They are more comfortable. 14. What’s the best question for “▲” in Paragraph 5? A. When will we have flying cars? B. Who is going to travel in flying cars? C. Why will we still need traditional cars? D. What are we going to do about traditional cars? 15. The writer wrote the passage mainly to get people excited about A. the latest technology in producing flying cars B. the biggest progress in making flying cars C. the possibility of having flying cars in the future D. the challenge of driving flying cars on one’s own 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） E Different countries have different manners (礼仪) for social situations. In Mexico, people shake hands when they meet for the first time. In Brazil, people sometimes kiss. In Japan, people usually bow (鞠躬). Do you know the Chinese fist-and-palm salute (拱手礼)? It is one of the traditional manners in China. 16 The occasions (场合) for making a fist-and-palm salute For centuries, China has been known as “a land of ceremony and decorum” (礼仪之邦). Nowadays, the Chinese usually shake hands when meeting others, while the fist-and-palm salute is not common. 17 People make a fist-and-palm salute when they visit someone during the Spring Festival or attend someone’s wedding ceremony, birthday party, and so on. The history of the fist-and-palm salute 18 It started in the Western Zhou Dynasty. If people met strangers, their hands were always ready for holding weapons (武器). Holding hands together, pointing towards themselves was a way of saying “relax”, meaning “I am not with any weapons and I am not here to pick a fight”. Later it became one of the traditional Chinese greeting manners. 19 How do you make a fist-and-palm salute properly? First, stand at attention. If you are a man, make a right-hand half-fist, and then have the left hand hold the right hand in front of your chest (胸口). For a woman, make a left-hand half-fist, then place the right hand on top of the left hand. Next, look at each other, raise both hands to the brow (额头), and bow. 20 At the same time, you can also say some lucky greeting words to each other. 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,其中一项为多余选项。 A.

He is an environmental activist (积极分子). He is one of the most famous environmental activists in the world. So how does a teenager become a famous environmental activist? “I grew up in a family where people were always thinking about the environment,” says Xiuhtezcatl. When Xiuhtezcatl was just 6 years old, he decided he had to do something about climate (气候) change—a serious environmental problem. Scientists have been studying climate change for many years. They know that Earth’s climate changes on its own over time. But right now, it is changing more and more quickly than usual because of pollution created by people—from the cars, trucks, and planes we use, and the coal and oil we burn for electricity. Xiuhtezcatl points out that climate change is a serious problem. “People can feel very helpless about climate change, like there is nothing they can do,” he says. But that is not true. “Humans caused climate change, and we can try to solve it.” Xiuhtezcatl says. Xiuhtezcatl began looking for ways to solve it when he was just a little kid. His older siblings (brothers and sisters) ran an environmental group called Earth Guardians, which was started by their mum. First, he listened when they had meetings. Soon, he was travelling around the country and the world. His goal? To educate and inspire people to join the fight against climate change. Today, Xiuhtezcatl runs Earth Guardians. The group works with thousands of kids around the world. He speaks to students in classrooms about steps they can take to help the planet. And he writes and performs hip-hop songs about the environment. He believes that if many people change their habits, we can reduce the causes of climate change. 46. What does Xiuhtezcatl Martinez do? 47. Why is Earth’s climate changing more and more quickly than usual now? 48. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 5 refer to? 49. What was Xiuhtezcatl’s goal when he was travelling around the country and the world? 50. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese. 第二节 写作（满分20分） 每个人心中都有照亮前路的梦想，也有指引方向的榜样。追逐梦想的路上，榜样的力量，良好的学习习惯以及持之以恒的毅力，总能帮我们一步步靠近目标。假设你的英语老师要制作一本《逐梦微光》作品集，邀请你投稿分享你的梦想、榜样以及逐梦路上自己的努力。请以My Small Steps to My Dream为题写一篇英文短文。 内容提示： 1.
