I was eight years old, and my mother had just bought a new oven. I decided to surprise her with a homemade birthday cake.

But the Sahara Desert, the world’s largest hot desert, is full of surprises. Covering most of North Africa, it is about 9.2 million square kilometers — almost as big as China. During the day, temperatures can reach 50℃. But at night, it can drop to near freezing. Despite the harsh conditions, many kinds of animals and plants live there. The camel, often called the "ship of the desert," can go for days without water. Its hump stores fat, not water as many people believe. Some plants store water in their thick leaves to survive the dry season. Recently, scientists have discovered something even more surprising: there was once a huge river system under the Sahara. Satellite images show that millions of years ago, rivers and lakes covered the area. Fossils of fish and other water animals have been found there. Today, the Sahara is growing. Each year, it expands southward by about 48 kilometers. Climate change and human activities are making it worse. But scientists are working on ways to stop it, such as planting "green belts" of trees along the edges of the desert. ( ) 26. What does the underlined word "harsh" in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Soft B. Warm C. Difficult D. Interesting ( ) 27. What is the main purpose of paragraph 3? A. To describe the temperature. B. To tell what animals live there. C. To show that it was once underwater. D. To explain why camels survive. ( ) 28. What have scientists discovered under the Sahara? A. A huge river system. B. A lost city. C. An ancient forest. D. A new animal species. ( ) 29. Why is the Sahara getting larger according to the passage? A. Because of too many visitors. B. Because of climate change and human activities. C. Because animals are dying out. D. Because of less rainfall. ( ) 30. What is the best title for this passage? A. The Hottest Place on Earth B. Secrets of the Sahara C. How to Stop Desert Growth D. Life in North Africa B In a small town in Sichuan, there is a special "book café" called "Read & Grow." It was started by a retired teacher, Mr. Chen, who wanted to create a place where children could fall in love with reading. The café has over 3,000 books, most of which were donated by local families. What makes this café special is its "pay with a story" policy. Children who cannot afford to pay can still take books home — they just need to share a story from the book with Mr. Chen when they return it. "I have heard thousands of stories over the years," says Mr. Chen with a warm smile. The café also runs a weekly reading club. Every Saturday afternoon, children gather to discuss a book they have read together. Sometimes they act out scenes from the stories. Last month, they performed a short play based on a Chinese folktale. Since the café opened three years ago, it has attracted over 500 young readers. Several students who used to spend hours on phones now come to the café every week. "I used to think reading was boring, but now I can’t put books down," says 14-year-old Li Wei. Mr. Chen hopes to open more cafés in other towns with the help of volunteers. ( ) 31. What is special about "Read & Grow"? A. It has the most books. B. It charges the lowest price. C. It accepts stories as payment. D. It was built by students. ( ) 32. How can children who cannot afford to pay borrow books? A. They write a book report. B. They share a story from the book. C. They help clean the café. D. They bring a friend along. ( ) 33. What do children do in the reading club? A. They write book reviews. B. They discuss and act out stories. C. They compete in reading speed. D. They teach younger children. ( ) 34. What change has the café brought to some children? A. They spend less time on phones. B. They all become writers. C. They get better grades. D. They donate books to others. ( ) 35. What does Mr. Chen hope to do? A. To make more money. B. To open more cafés in other towns. C. To become famous. D. To write a book. C Have you ever noticed that some people seem to learn new things quickly while others take longer? Scientists have been studying this question for years. The answer is not about how smart someone is — it’s about how they learn. Research shows that one of the most effective ways to learn is to teach someone else. When you explain a concept to another person, you have to organize your thoughts clearly. A study found that students who studied by teaching others remembered about 90% of what they learned. Another powerful method is called "spaced repetition." Instead of studying for hours at once, it is better to study for short periods spread over several days. The brain needs time to move information from short-term memory to long-term memory. Sleep also plays a key role. During sleep, our brains process and store what we have learned. Students who get enough sleep perform better on tests than those who stay up late studying. Finally, "deliberate practice" — focusing on your weak areas and pushing beyond your comfort zone — is key. A piano player doesn’t improve by playing the same easy piece over and over. ( ) 36. What influences learning speed most according to the passage? A. How smart someone is. B. How they learn. C. How much time they spend. D. What subject they study. ( ) 37. Why does teaching others help you learn better? A. It makes you speak more. B. It forces you to organize your thoughts. C. It helps you read faster. D. It lets you avoid difficult concepts. ( ) 38. What does "spaced repetition" mean? A. Studying with a partner. B. Reading the same thing many times. C. Studying in short periods over several days. D. Testing yourself every day. ( ) 39. Why is it bad to stay up late before an exam? A. You miss breakfast. B. Your brain cannot store information well without sleep. C. The library is closed. D. You forget what you studied earlier. ( ) 40. What is "deliberate practice"? A. Practicing for hours daily. B. Playing easy pieces well. C. Focusing on your weak areas. D. Learning only from teachers. 第II卷（非选择题 共40分） 五、词与短语填空（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 仔细阅读下面短文，用下面方框中所给的单词或短语填空，使短文在结构、句义和逻辑上正确。（提示：方框中有两个单词或短语是多余的。） provide take part in support instead of pollution reduce share Every year, our school holds a "Green Campus Day" to encourage students to protect the environment.
