B “Chukail Meadows — it’s where the earth kisses (亲吻) the sky!” my friend Shams told me when I asked about his summer plan. Shams invited me to join him. I was bored with my daily routine, so I accepted the offer. Chukail Meadows is home to green fields, colourful flowers, and fresh mountain air. Many people visit it in summer to hike, camp and experience its peaceful beauty. However, the way to it can be quite challenging. We started our journey on a sunny day. We drove along the river, rode chairlifts (缆椅) to get across the river, and saw lots of strange rocks. Finally, we reached Shams’ home, which was not far from the meadows. Shams’ family welcomed me warmly, and we had dinner together. Early the next day, our five-person group began an 8-hour hike. The road was almost straight up, so every step felt hard. The higher we went, the more tired we got. My friend and his family were from this area, so they were used to the height. I was the only one who got altitude sickness (高原病). It made me feel miserable — my head hurt and I couldn’t catch my breath — and I almost gave up. Surprisingly, my friend let me eat an onion. Then my condition improved. ▲ I looked around and found snowy mountains, glaciers (冰川), and cold rivers all around us. The scenery took my breath away. In the evening, we built a campfire and told stories under the moon. There was just us, the campfire, and the moon. The experience was dreamlike. This trip was the most unforgettable one ever! I’ll always thank Shams for taking me to this magical place. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 ( ) 31. Why did the writer agree to the trip? A. He hoped to visit a meadow. B. He wanted to visit Shams’ home. C. He dreamt of hiking with his friends. D. He needed a break from his boring daily life. ( ) 32. What might the writer think of Shams’ family? A Friendly. B. Unkind. C. Impolite. D. Interesting. ( ) 33. What does the underlined word “miserable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean in Chinese? A. 轻松的 B. 焦虑的 C. 活泼的 D. 痛苦的 ( ) 34. What’s the best sentence for “ ▲ ”? A. Finally, we reached the meadows. B. Shams advised me to take the chairlift. C. Shams told me another story about onions. D. So we decided to go back down right away. ( ) 35. What is the best title for the text? A. A Magical Trip B. My Best Friend C. The Beauty of Nature D. The Most Dangerous Hike C ①Whenever you search online, use social media, or play online games, you are using something called “the cloud”. It is not a real cloud in the sky. It is a large space on the Internet where people can save and get different kinds of information, like files, photos, music, and games. It is very convenient (方便的) because you can use it anytime, anywhere. ②However, some scientists are worried that people are saving too much in the cloud. Professor Gordon Blair from England says,“The data (数据) is building up, and it is not good for the planet.” ③The cloud is supported by (由……支持) data centres around the world. Each data centre holds thousands of computers. These computers work all day and night, so they use a lot of energy. For example, every time you search online, the computer uses as much energy as lighting a light bulb (灯泡) for almost two minutes. With millions of searches every day, it uses enough energy to light a light bulb for about 29,000 years! ④ Supporting the cloud also needs a lot of water. Computers get warm or even hot when they work for a long time, so cold water in cooling systems in data centres helps them stay cool. In some hot places, data centres use even more water every day. This can cause problems for people, wildlife and nature. ⑤The cloud is useful, but we must use it carefully to protect our planet. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 ( ) 36. What do we know about the cloud from Paragraph 1? A. It is a real cloud in the sky. B. It mainly works for online games. C. It is a space on the Internet to save information. D. It helps to store information on phones and computers. ( ) 37. What does Gordon Blair think about the cloud? A. He is tired of using it too much. B. He is positive about its development. C. He thinks it is helpful for communication. D. He feels worried about its influence on the planet. ( ) 38. How does the writer explain the problem of energy use? A. By telling a story. B. By raising a question. C. By giving an example. D. By explaining a process. ( ) 39. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Computers. B. Light bulbs. C. Data centres. D. Cooling systems. ( ) 40. Which shows the correct structure of the text? (①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2,…) A. B. C. D. D Floods are one of the most dangerous natural disasters. They often come suddenly, with almost no warning. Fast-moving floods can pull trees out of the ground, wash away houses, and even make bridges fall down. These floods can change a quiet area into a dangerous mess in just minutes. Drowning (溺水) is a big risk in floods. The water moves so fast that it’s hard for people to swim. What’s worse, the water carries all kinds of debris (残骸) that can cut or hurt people. Floods bring more troubles besides the water itself. They can cut off power, so fridges stop working and food goes bad quickly. People may be unable to call for help or learn about the latest danger. Roads get blocked, so no one can transport water or food to people in need. What should we do to stay safe from floods? If there’s a flood warning, find a safe place right away. Never walk, swim, or drive in floodwater: just 15 cm of moving water can push you down, and 30 cm of water can sweep a car away. If you’re stuck in a flooded building, go to the highest floor. Don’t go to the attic (阁楼) — you might get trapped (受困) there with no way out. Only climb to the roof if you have to. Once there, draw “SOS” on the roof so that rescue teams will find you more easily. Floods are scary, but learning these safety rules can help keep you out of danger when trouble comes. 根据短文内容，判断句子正（T）、误（F）。 ( ) 41. Floods are dangerous and often come with almost no warning. ( ) 42. It’s hard for people to swim in fast-moving floods. ( ) 43. Floods can cut off power and get roads blocked so it may be difficult for people to get help. ( ) 44. Just 15 cm of moving water can sweep a car away. ( ) 45. It’s safe to stay in the attic if people are stuck in a flooded building. E Lightning is very powerful. It can carry up to 300 million volts (伏) of energy. And it can heat the air to 30,000°C — five times hotter than the surface of the sun. Lightning may look amazing, but it’s really dangerous. Summer is a good time to learn about lightning safety since there are more thunderstorms (雷雨). (46) ________ Here are some tips to help you stay safe. (47) ________ Before you plan an outdoor activity like hiking or fishing, always have a safety plan for stormy weather. Know where the safe places are and know how long it will take to get there. Listen to the weather report. (48) ________ If a thunderstorm is coming, change your plan. It’s better to stay inside. Get to a safe place. By the time you hear thunder, you may already be in danger. No place outside is safe when thunderstorms are in the area. Try to go indoors. (49) ________ A bus or car is also safe. Stay away from trees and metal (金属) things. Wait for the thunderstorm to pass. Lightning can still happen after the thunderstorm seems to be over. (50) ________ Thanks to safety work, deaths from lightning in the US have dropped from nearly 100 a year to under 20. Learning about lightning safety can help keep you safe! 阅读短文，把 A ~ E 五个句子填入文中空缺处，使短文内容完整。 A. Plan ahead for stormy weather. B. Check the weather report before going out. C. Safe places include schools, libraries, or stores. D. So, how can you protect yourself in thunderstorms? E. Wait at least 30 minutes after the thunderstorm before you go outside. F “I do a bit more, so my parents do a bit less; I bend a little more, so they suffer a little less.” The words from 19-year-old Meng Cheng touched many people. Meng studies Computer Science and Technology at Qingdao Agricultural University. During the National Day holiday in 2025, he returned home from college. He joined his parents in their family cornfield (玉米田) to save corn after the heavy rain. Every day, he worked from early morning to late evening. He picked many ears (穗) of corn by hand and carefully put them into baskets. Though it was tiring, he felt happy to do the work with his parents. Meng was born and grew up in a small village in Shandong Province. His parents make a living by farming and selling fruit. His family isn’t rich, so his parents have to work hard every day to support (养活) it. After Meng shared short videos of his work online, many people praised him for his hard work and love for his parents. At the same time; some people questioned if he just wanted to get attention or sell things online. Meng explained that making videos is only a hobby. What he cares about most is his studies.
