However, the 17th-century “aha moment” is actually a bit of a lie! Newton did witness an apple falling from a tree one day and this got him thinking about what actually caused the apple to fall to the ground. Newton later developed his theory of Gravity, believing that Earth has a force that pulls objects down, which prevents objects from aimlessly floating around. While we know that Isaac Newton discovered Gravity, he also made many other scientific discoveries. Newton is also credited with discovering the three laws of motion. These three laws, or principles, explain how things move. Law 1: An object at rest stays at rest. A moving object keeps moving. Objects continue doing what they’re doing unless a stronger force acts on them. Here, the stronger force is the wall. It stops the truck but not the boxes, so they keep moving forward. Law 2: It takes more force (力量) to move a heavy object than a lighter one. Newton came up with a scientific formula (公式) to explain this: Force=Mass×Acceleration (质量) (加速度) Large weights with a lot of mass require more force to lift than smaller, lighter weights do. Law 3: For every force, there is an equal reaction (相等大小的作用力) in the opposite direction. Air from an untied balloon rushes out in one direction. As the air escapes, it pushes the balloon in the opposite direction. 16. The picture in Law 1 shows that ________ . A. the boxes are a stronger force than the truck B. the truck stays at rest, but the boxes do not. C. the wall acts on the truck but not on the boxes. D. the truck moves forward, but the boxes move backward 17. The underlined word “this” in Law 2 refers to “________”. A. the law B. the force C. the object D. the formula 18. From the example in Law 2, we can know that ________ . A. adults are stronger than children B. more force is required to lift a heavier object C. the larger an object is, the faster it is to lift it D. an object moves more quickly when a heavy man lifts it 19. Which law of motion can explain the following picture? A. Law 1. B. Law 2. C. Law 3. D. Law of Force. 20. The purpose of the passage is to ________. A. introduce how Newton discovered the three laws. B. provide the formulas for Newton’s laws of motion. C. explain how Newton’s laws of motion work in our life. D. encourage students to learn Newton’s laws of motion well. C Mama pulled the car into a small alley (小巷). When she shut the engine off, everything got in quiet. I hung a beach towel over the clothesline that Mama had strung along the middle of the car to make me a bedroom. I could picture my classmate Luanne, lying in her pink-and-white quilt with her toy animals lined up along the wall beside her, and I surely felt sorry for myself. Then I curled up on the seat, turning every which way trying to get myself comfortable. Finally, I settled on my back with my feet right against the car door and looked out at the starry sky. And then I saw it. A sign, up there on a telephone pole right outside the car window. An old sign that said: REWARD (酬谢) $500. And under that was a picture of a bug-eyed little dog with its tongue hanging out. And then under that it said: HAVE YOU SEEN ME? MY NAME IS MITSY. Five hundred dollars! Who in the world would pay five hundred dollars for that little dog? “Mama?” I whispered through my beach towel wall. Mama rustled (沙沙作响) some in the front seat. “Would five hundred dollars be enough money to get us a place to live?” I asked. Mama sighed. “I suppose so, Georgina. Now go to sleep. You got school tomorrow.” I looked up at Mitsy and my mind started racing. What if I could find that dog? I could get that money, and we could have a real place to live instead of this dirty old car. But that dog could be anywhere. I wouldn't even know where to look for it. Besides, that sign was old. somebody had probably already found Mitsy and got that five hundred dollars. I stared out the window at the sign, thinking about Mitsy and wondering if there were other people out there who would pay money for their lost dogs. And that’s when I got a thought that made me sit up so fast that Toby mumbled in his sleep and Mama hissed, “Shhhh—.” I folded my legs up and lay back down in my beach towel bedroom. The car seat smelled like oily French fries and bug spray. I closed my eyes and smiled to myself. I had a plan… 21. Where did the writer and her family live? A. In an alley B. In a house C. In their car D. In the school 22. Why did the writer mention Luanne in Paragraph 2? A. To introduce a new character. B. To compare with her own hard life. C. To show Luanne was her close friend. D. To explain her fear of sleeping there. 23. How did the writer feel when she said “my mind started racing”? A. Hopeful and excited. B. Curious and surprised. C. Nervous and worried. D. Doubtful and uncertain. 24. Which of the following sentences is right? A. The sign about Mitsy was new and the dog was just lost. B. The reward sign for Mitsy was found on a wall outside the car. C. The writer's plan was to find Mitsy to get the reward money. D. The writer thought it easy to find Mitsy because she knew where to find it. 25. What is the best title for this story? A. The Night in the Car B. The Lost Dog C. The Search for Mitsy D. The Birth of a Plan 三、信息还原 （本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Knowing how to communicate well needs very personal attention between you and another human being. Is there a better way to learn how to communicate effectively? Yes, there is. ____26____ Relax and breathe. Whether it’s a business meeting or a first date, the first thing you must do in order to communicate is to relax. When you relax, you are in control. You control your reactions (反应) and your reactions do not control you. Breathing is central to relaxation. Take a few deep breaths and your body will begin to be more at ease (放松). ____27____ Think and you will be prepared. ____28____ Well, it is true. By thinking ahead about how the conversation might flow, you will be better prepared, more at ease and more confident. ____29____ If you are uncomfortable, being silent will only make it worse and make the other person uncomfortable as well. So when all else fails, follow through with small talk until a common topic appears. A good way to keep a conversation going is to ask the other person questions. People love to talk about themselves and if you do this, they will leave the conversation, thinking very highly of you. ____30____ If you make an effort, you will succeed. A. First think, and you will be prepared. B. Follow the flow of the conversation. C. Please follow the three basic steps below. D. Have you ever heard the old saying “Think before you speak”? E. You and the other person will have fun chatting with each other. F. Learning good communication skills is not something out of reach. G. This will help you practise what you already know about how to communicate well. 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题 四、词汇运用（本大题10分，每小题1分，共10分） (A)根据句意和中文注释，写出所给单词的正确形式。 31.

Jacobs School in Hull, Massachusetts. The sculptures are made entirely of rubbish collected by sixth-graders! The school lies on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. In February 2024, the students spent a cold day cleaning up a nearly 1-mile area of Nantasket Beach. They collected more than 40 bags of rubbish. “I often go to the beach and don’t notice the rubbish,” says Derek DeGallo, who is now a seventh-grader. “But when I looked for it, I realized how much there was.” Every year, billions of pounds of rubbish end up in oceans all over the world. The students found many things on the beach, from fishing lines to old shopping carts. Most of it is plastic. This waste makes beaches dirty and can hurt sea animals—many get stuck in the plastic or eat it by mistake, falling ill. After their beach cleanup, the students sorted the rubbish into groups like glass, plastic and foam and counted each piece of rubbish. They sent the data to the Center for Coastal Studies, an organization that helps protect the ocean near Massachusetts. Then, a local artist named Jackie Ranney and the school’s teachers helped the students turn the rubbish into sculptures of fish and other sea creatures, like whales and seahorses. The artworks show people how important it is to take care of the earth. “I hope kids see these artworks and think about how they use plastic,” says Ranney, the local artist. “They might ask themselves, ‘Do I throw away and recycle my rubbish in the right way?’” Derek, now a seventh-grader, feels proud that he and his classmates helped stop rubbish from getting into the ocean. “Our own town’s beaches are wonderful,” he says. “We want to make sure they stay clean.” 51. Why are some artworks shown at the Lillian M. Jacobs School special? ________________________________________________ 52. What did Derek realize when he collected rubbish? ________________________________________________ 53. How does rubbish hurt sea animals? ________________________________________________ 54. What did students do after cleaning the beach? ________________________________________________ 55. What do you think about the students’ activities? Why? ________________________________________________ 七、书面表达（本大题共20分） 56. 文明从点滴做起，城市因你我美丽。近期，无锡市蝉联“全国文明城市”，无锡市民在日常生活中践行树文明之风、创文明之城的精神。无锡教育电视台将于暑期举办以“How to be a civilized (文明的) middle school student?”为主题的英语口语大赛，请你为此写一篇演讲稿。 内容应包含以下要点： ●Public behavior: follow traffic rules;... ●Voluntary work: help the elderly;... ●Green lifestyle: save water;... ●Summer plan: read more books;... 注意： 文中不得出现你的真实姓名和学校名称； 内容要点作适当发挥； 词数90左右，短文开头结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 How to be a civilized middle school student The summer holiday is coming soon!

As middle school students, I think we can do something to make Wuxi more civilized. First, we should behave politely in public. We must follow traffic rules and not litter everywhere. Voluntary work is meaningful. We can help the elderly do shopping. Moreover, we can join in community clean-up activities. A green lifestyle is important too. We should save water by taking short showers and save electricity by turning off lights. Using cloth bags instead of plastic bags makes a difference. For the summer plan, I will read more books to get ready for the new term. I also plan to do some volunteer work with my friends. Let’s start from small things and try to work together to be civilized students. I’m sure our city will be better through our efforts Thank you! 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
