In the match,the players were divided into two teams.They competed to catch a ball thrown into the air above ice.Unlike the ancient cuju,players were allowed to pass the ball with their hands and feet. According to historical records,the Qing government included the sport in ice football military training,as it could improve players'endurance and strength. This sport was popular in the 18th century.On cold winter days, organizers would water a slope (about ten meters in length to create an ice track for competitors.Wearing ice skates,competitors would take turns to slide down the slope to show as much of their skating skills as they could.Those who made it down the slope without downhill ice skating falling would be the winner.The sport was dangerous and carried a high risk of injury. 31 Group werk is very important in .A.archery on ice and ice football B.ice football and downhill ice skating C.archery on ice and downhill ice skating D.archery on ice,ice football and downhill ice skating 第2 32.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

Pearl's love for books dates back to her childhood.At her primary school library,she discovered My Father's Dragon and Lad:A Dog.Young Nancy mostly read "horse and dog books"until she met Miss Whitehead at the public library.The librarian introduced her to The Hobbit,the Mary Poppins series and many others.By the age of ten, Pearl knew she wanted to be a children's librarian.She wanted to do for other children what Miss Whitehead had done for her.After college,Peart get her dream job.But betore long,she started to help not just children but readers of all ages.

It's also important,Pearl adds,not to start a group meeting by asking everyone what they think of the book.That would kill the discussion before it even begins.Instead,Pearl suggests starting with a“neutral”(中立的)question,like what the title means or why the writer wrote the book the way he or she did. 34.What made Nancy Pearl get well-known at first?

The project aims to create more natural green spaces and upgrade locals' living conditions.Unlike traditional parks,which are mainly designed for sightseeing,ciry forests are built to follow the rules of nature.They use local plants that can grow weit in Beying's climate,and create a complete ecosystem for birds,insects and small animals.There are no neatly cut lawns or man-made flower beds;instead,there are wild grasses,fallen leaves and natural water pools,just like a real forest, A recent study shows that by the end of 2025,Beijing has built more than 300 city forests, covering an area of over 40,000 mu.These green spaces have increased the city's forest coverage rate to 45%,and reduced the average summer temperature in the surrounding areas by 2-3C.They have also helped improve the air quality,and provided homes for more than 150 kinds of wild animals and birds. "Before,there was only a busy road and some old buildings here.Now,it's a beautiful forest.It's like having a natural park right at our door,"said Ms.Li,a 68-year-old local resident. The project is still going on,and Beijing will build another 50 city forests by 2030,and connect all the green spaces together to form a complete green network."We want to make Beijing a city in the forest,not just a city with forests,"said an expert from the Beijing Forestry and Parks Bureau.

D 1When people think of wildfires,burning trees often come up.If you see a city burning while its trees remain standing,you might wonder if something unusual is happening. 2For weeks in January,large wildfires spread through Los Angeles.They destroyed a large number of homes and many people lost their lives.As pictures of the fires spread across the Internet, people noticed trees standing next to burned-out homes and cars.Some didn't believe that a fire would leave trees untouched."Is there a secret attack on'L.A.homes?"they asked.The simple answer is no.As plenty of pictures and videos from Los Angeles show,trees-can and do catch fire. 3But it's true that some did not burn.Scientists say there is a simple explanation for that. It is all about moisture."It's quite easy to understand,"said Miranda Hart,a biology professor. "Trees are filled with thousands and thousands of liters of water."To be clear,trees do burn when fires are big and hot enough.But if a tree full of water is next to something very dry,the dry thing will burn first and even change the way of the fire."In that way,you can imagine the fire just going around the tree if there's enough‘fueP(撚料)on either side of it,”Prof.Hart added. 5In addition,the tree type is also important.Certain trees are more likely to catch fire Deciduous trees(trees that lose their leaves every year),for example,are hard to burn.That's because their leaves include more water.While for conifers-trees with needlelike leaves,things are the opposite. 6In Los Angeles,palms are everywhere.They've become a symbol of the city.But based on the research,palm trees are especially easy to spread fire because of their structure and type.So,to reduce fire risks,the local fire departments have advised against planting more palms.Without proper care,these trees can burn and spread rapidly during wildfires and endanger the people and objects nearby. 42.Some people had doubts about the wildfires in Los Angeles because A.they have lasted much longer than usual B.hidden enemies attacked homes and cars C.some trees remained unchanged in the fires D.pictures of the fires spread across the Internet 43.The underlined word“moisture”in paragraph4 probably means“ A.dry condition B.water content C.high heat D.cold temperature 44.How would a fire pass through a tree full of water and dry things according to Prof.Hart? )a tree full of water a dry thing fire's path 45.Which of the following shows the structure of this text according to the theory (below? problem-raising problem-analyzing(分析) problem-solving A.①②- ③④- ⑤⑥ B.①② ③④⑤⑥ C.①②③ ④⑤⑥ D.① ②③④⑤ ⑥ 页共4页 四、词汇运用(共10空,每空一词,每词1分,计10分) 46.The Communist Party of China is now leading the nation toward building a great socialist country.(现代的) 47.In the twelve Chinese animal signs,the Rabbit is the (四)in order. 48.The local people behave (礼貌地)and impress the tourists a lot. 49.More and more people realize that health (重要)more than wealth. 50.She was still only half (醒着的)when I brought her a cup of coffee. 51.Depression may influence how people think and feel about(they),but it can be treated. 52.We admired the way she (deal)with the difficult situation. 53.The temperature has_ _(rise)a lot so far because of the greenhouse effect. 54.The (high)of Nanjing Zifeng Tower is up to 450 metres. 55.Details decide (succeed)or not.If we take everything seriously,we will achieve our goals. 五、阅读表达(共5小题,每小题2分,计10分) 阅读短文,回答下面5个问题。(每题答案不超过10个词) I (Robinson)showed him a pallet and a blanket and he fell quickly asleep.When waking up in the morning,he greeted me,down on his knees,with hands on his head.At first,we communicated by body languages.Soon my new servant showed him much better at learning my language than I was learning at his.I studied him,and soon he could say his name,"Master","Yes"and "No",and the names for various items.How good it was to hear a man's voice again!

One day,I took Friday to the highest point of the island where all the nearby islands could be seen.Suddenly,Friday began to jump up and down.He seemed quite excited with the sight of his own country.I began to think again about escape.Perhaps together we could leave for his country. But what then?Would Friday still be my friend,or would his people kill me and eat me?I took Friday to the other side of the island and showed him my big canoe,though it was quite old."Could you imagine sailing to your country on it,Friday?Can it be a success?"I asked him."Oh,yes,"he answered."It can carry a lot of food and drink" But a moment later,Friday looked very upset."Are you angry with me?"he asked."What have I done?Why do you want to send me away?" “But I thought you wanted to go home,”I said.
