Building a support team is about having people you can truly trust, like your family and friends.

【29题详解】
根据文章第一段中“Your body starts to grow quickly→对应选项a;school becomes more challenging with harder subjects and more homework→对应选项b;Maybe you will have some bad feelings→对应选项c;因此abc有提到。

【31题详解】
根据文章最后一段中“Beyond (除……之外) these easy self-help steps, outside support can’t be ignored (忽视).”,是段落中心句,强调除了自我调节,外界支持也不可忽视,后文分别阐述了家长和学校的支持方式,因此核心是“外界支持很重要”。

The Green Miracle (奇迹) of Saihanba
Long ago, Saihanba was a beautiful forest with many birds and animals. But in the late Qing Dynasty (朝代), people cut down too many trees. Years later, the forest disappeared and the area became a barren (贫瘠的) desert. Strong sandstorms (沙尘暴) often hit Beijing, which is not far away.
In 1962, the Chinese government decided to change this. A group of foresters (护林人) came to Saihanba. Life was very hard there. The temperature could fall to -40°C in winter. There was no house to live in and little food to eat. However, these foresters did not give up. They planted trees year after year. Many trees died in the beginning, but they kept trying.
▲ First, they found the right kind of trees that could survive in the cold and dry soil (土壤). Second, they developed new planting methods (方法). Today, Saihanba is once again a huge forest. It is now known as the “Green Pearl (珍珠)” of North China.
The change brings many benefits (益处). The forest stops sandstorms from reaching Beijing. It also provides clean water and fresh air for millions of people. Many rare (稀有的) animals and birds have returned to their home.
However, protecting the forest is still a long job. The foresters say, “Planting trees is easy, but keeping them alive is hard.” They continue to watch over the forest every day. They use technology to prevent fires and diseases. People all over the world admire (钦佩) the spirit of the Saihanba foresters. It shows that humans and nature can live together in harmony (和谐) if we work hard and never give up.
32. What happened to Saihanba years after the late Qing Dynasty?
A. It became a famous tourist spot. B. It became a large city.
C. It was flooded by heavy rain. D. It turned into a barren desert.
33. Which sentence can be put in ▲?
A. How did they become successful? B. Why did they fail at first?
C. When did they start planting? D. Where did they get the seeds?
34. What is the main benefit of the forest today?
A. It produces a lot of wood for sale. B. It attracts many foreign visitors only.
C. It stops sandstorms and provides clean resources. D. It makes the weather hotter in winter.
35. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. How to plant trees in cold weather.
B. The change of Saihanba from desert to forest and its importance.
C. The history of Beijing’s weather.
D. The difficulties foresters face in their daily life.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了塞罕坝从清末的茂密森林,因过度砍伐退化为荒漠,再到1962年后护林人克服重重困难、科学造林,最终重新成为 “华北绿珍珠” 的历程,展现了塞罕坝精神和人与自然和谐共生的主题。
【32题详解】
根据文章第一段中“But in the late Qing Dynasty (朝代), people cut down too many trees. Years later, the forest disappeared and the area became a barren (贫瘠的) desert.”,直接说明清末因过度砍伐,塞罕坝变成了贫瘠的沙漠。
【33题详解】
根据文章▲后内容是“First, they found the right kind of trees... Second, they developed new planting methods (方法).”,这是护林人成功的具体方法,因此空处应是引出“他们如何成功”的问句。
【34题详解】
根据文章第四段中“The forest stops sandstorms from reaching Beijing. It also provides clean water and fresh air for millions of people.”,说明森林的核心益处是阻挡沙尘暴、提供清洁资源。
【35题详解】
文围绕塞罕坝从森林到荒漠、再恢复为森林的变化展开,同时阐述了这一变化带来的环境效益与重要意义,B项完整概括了文章核心内容。
五、阅读表达(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)
China has started a three-year “Weight Management (管理) Year” plan from 2024 to 2027. Its goal is to help people to fight against obesity (肥胖) and live healthier lives. Here’s what you should know about the new guidelines (指南):
First, it’s important to check your BMI (Body Mass Index) (体重指数). For adults, a healthy BMI is between 18.5 and 24. If your BMI is between 24 and 28, you are overweight. A BMI of 28 or more means you are obese (肥胖的).
Eating well is very important, and exercise is just as important. When it comes to food, choose whole grains like brown rice and fresh vegetables. For exercise, try to do 150-300 minutes of activities like walking, cycling, or dancing every week. If you sit for a long time while studying, stand up and stretch (伸展) for 5 minutes every hour.
Schools and communities are also helping. For example, schools in Shanghai now make sure students exercise for at least two hours every day, and hospitals have “weight clinics (诊所)” with diet plans and exercise advice. By 2030, China hopes to slow down the increase of obesity through education and support.
Remember, losing weight isn’t about being perfect—just start with small changes, like drinking water, or taking a walk after dinner. With these easy steps, everyone can have a healthier future.

The Green Miracle (奇迹) of Saihanba
Long ago, Saihanba was a beautiful forest with many birds and animals. But in the late Qing Dynasty (朝代), people cut down too many trees. Years later, the forest disappeared and the area became a barren (贫瘠的) desert. Strong sandstorms (沙尘暴) often hit Beijing, which is not far away.
In 1962, the Chinese government decided to change this. A group of foresters (护林人) came to Saihanba. Life was very hard there. The temperature could fall to -40°C in winter. There was no house to live in and little food to eat. However, these foresters did not give up. They planted trees year after year. Many trees died in the beginning, but they kept trying.

However, protecting the forest is still a long job. The foresters say, “Planting trees is easy, but keeping them alive is hard.” They continue to watch over the forest every day. They use technology to prevent fires and diseases. People all over the world admire (钦佩) the spirit of the Saihanba foresters. It shows that humans and nature can live together in harmony (和谐) if we work hard and never give up.

五、阅读表达(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)
China has started a three-year “Weight Management (管理) Year” plan from 2024 to 2027. Its goal is to help people to fight against obesity (肥胖) and live healthier lives. Here’s what you should know about the new guidelines (指南):
First, it’s important to check your BMI (Body Mass Index) (体重指数). For adults, a healthy BMI is between 18.5 and 24. If your BMI is between 24 and 28, you are overweight. A BMI of 28 or more means you are obese (肥胖的).
Eating well is very important, and exercise is just as important. When it comes to food, choose whole grains like brown rice and fresh vegetables. For exercise, try to do 150-300 minutes of activities like walking, cycling, or dancing every week. If you sit for a long time while studying, stand up and stretch (伸展) for 5 minutes every hour.
Schools and communities are also helping. For example, schools in Shanghai now make sure students exercise for at least two hours every day, and hospitals have “weight clinics (诊所)” with diet plans and exercise advice. By 2030, China hopes to slow down the increase of obesity through education and support.
Remember, losing weight isn’t about being perfect—just start with small changes, like drinking water, or taking a walk after dinner. With these easy steps, everyone can have a healthier future.

__________________________________________________
37. What is the BMI if a person is overweight?
