Peter smiled and said, “That’s right. This house, property, wealth are like those seats-they’re all with us for just a little while. Someone else had it before us, we have it now, and 13 people will have it later.”
Hearing this, the brothers finally understood the 14 . Relationships are priceless. Losing them over small desires is foolish. 15 with love and harmony, and that is the real treasure.

【导语】本文讲述云南乡村教师农加贵坚守讲台40年,帮助孩子走出大山,以前学生归来接力,共同致力于农村教育事业的感人故事。
【详解】16.句意:我为他们感到骄傲。
根据“become doctors, teachers...”可知,老师为学生的成就感到自豪,be proud of为固定搭配,意为“为……感到骄傲”,proud“自豪的”,符合此搭配。tired“累的“;afraid“害怕的”;full“满的”,均不符合语境。
17.句意:当他看到孩子们多么渴望学习时,他决定留下来。
根据“he decided to stay”可知,孩子们对知识的渴求打动了他,be thirsty for意为“渴望”,thirsty“渴望的”,符合语境。famous“著名的”;ready“准备好的”;sorry“抱歉的”,均无法解释留下的动机。
18.句意:自那以后,村里每个学龄儿童都上学了。
根据上下文教育成果显著,可知孩子们都去上学了,attend school意为“上学”,所以attended符合语境。left“离开”;passed“通过”;missed“错过”,均与教育普及的积极语境相反。
19.句意:1992年,他的第一班12名学生全部升入附近的初中,这对社区教育是一个巨大的成就。
根据“all 12 students...progressed”可知,这是积极的教育成果。achievement意为“成就”,符合语境。problem“问题”;secret“秘密”;tradition“传统”,均不符合积极评价。
20.句意:2025年,以前的学生杨素芹在别处教了20年书之后回到学校。
根据“former student”及语境,可知她是回来任教,returned意为“返回”,符合逻辑。hated“讨厌”;stayed“停留”;arrived“到达”,均无法体现“归来”之意。
21.句意:她期望帮助填补这里英语教育的长期差距。
根据“gap”可知,目的是弥补不足,fill a gap为固定搭配,意为“填补差距”,所以fill“填补”,符合语境。put“放”;create“创造”;notice“注意”,均搭配不当或语义不符。
22.句意:她说:“我在这里学习时,我的老师农老师总是为我们提供知识和力量。”
根据宾语“knowledge and strength”意为“知识和力量”,可知老师给予这些,offer sb sth意为“提供某物给某人”,offered“给予”,符合语境。encouraged“鼓励”;praised“表扬”;wished“希望”,encourage后常接sb to do sth,不直接接knowledge,所以均不符合题意。
23.句意:如今,作为全国人大代表,农呼吁在全国范围内改善农村教育。
根据“deputy to the National People’s Congress”可知他在为教育发声,call for意为“呼吁”,符合身份和语境,call符合题意。looks for“寻找”;waits for“等待”;pays for“支付”,均不符合人大代表职责。
24.句意:我没有遗憾而且我认为我正在做的是正确的事。
根据“doing the right thing”及奉献一生的语境,可知他无怨无悔,have no regrets为常见表达,regrets“遗憾”,符合语境。worries“担心“;doubts“ 怀疑”;mistakes“错误”,均不符合坚定奉献的心态。
25.句意:重要的是真正为人民服务。
根据“serving the people”,强调服务的真诚性,truly意为“真正地”,符合价值观表达。hardly“几乎不”;nearly“几乎”;lately“最近”,均语义不通或不符合语境。

Jake Pinnick, the 36-year-old from the United States, has an unusual story of “Becoming Chinese”. Now he is known as a foreign coach at Wudang Mountain in Hubei province, teaching martial arts (武术) to students from around the world.
As a fan of Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee, Pinnick always wanted to learn “real kung fu from its roots (根源)”. Attracted by a video of Wudang martial arts online, he finally made up his mind to come to China in 2010.
Life in China was not easy at the beginning. The training was hard, but he never gave up. By repeating every move countless times each day, he gradually realized that martial arts are never supposed to compete against or win over others. Instead, they help achieve balance between inner spirit and outer strength, just as his master once told him, “Develop virtue before practising martial arts.”
After finishing his five-year training at Wudang Mountain, Pinnick returned to the US with his Chinese wife and their daughter. However, he found himself “stuck between Chinese and American culture”. So in 2018, he decided to return to Wudang Mountain to teach and spread Wudang culture.
Over the past years in China, Pinnick has become completely used to the local life. He now enjoys drinking hot tea instead of coffee. He is also proud of his Chinese name, Li Zigen, given by his master.
Pinnick hopes to deepen understanding between different cultures through his efforts. With encouragement from his wife, he started posting videos online about martial arts in 2020. His videos soon got popular, attracting millions of fans. Now he is busy preparing for a new international summer camp. “I want to let people from all over the world enjoy the beauty of traditional Chinese culture and benefit from it,” he said.
29.Which has nothing to do with the reasons for Pinnick’s coming to China?
A.The wish of having a Chinese name.
B.The love of Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee.
C.The dream of learning Chinese kung fu.
D.The attraction of a Wudang martial arts video.
30.What’s the best explanation of the underlined word “virtue” in Paragraph 3?
A.noun /'vɜːtʃu:/ a smart ability to learn something new
B.noun /'vɜːtʃu:/ a fast movement in playing martial arts
C.noun /'vɜːtʃu:/ a strong body for practicing martial arts
D.noun /'vɜːtʃu:/ a general quality of goodness in a person
31.Put the following events in the correct time order.
① Pinnick became a coach at Wudang Mountain.
② Pinnick became popular and had millions of fans.
③ Pinnick planned a new international summer camp.
④ Pinnick watched a video of Wudang martial arts online.
A.④→①→②→③ B.②→③→④→①
C.①→④→②→③ D.①→②→④→③
32.What can be the best title for the passage?
A.An American’s Special Journey in China
B.The Long History of Wudang Martial Arts
C.A US Martial Arts Lover Bridges between Cultures
D.An Unusual Way of Learning Martial Arts in China
【答案】29.A 30.D 31.A 32.C
【导语】本文讲述了36岁美国人Jake Pinnick的经历:因喜爱功夫、被武当视频吸引来到中国习武;领悟“先修德后习武”的武道理念;学成短暂回国后因文化隔阂重返武当担任武术教练,线上分享武当文化收获大量粉丝;他立志通过武术传播中国传统文化,搭建不同文化之间沟通的桥梁。
【详解】29.根据第二段“As a fan of Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee, Pinnick always wanted to learn ‘real kung fu from its roots (根源)’. Attracted by a video of Wudang martial arts online, he finally made up his mind to come to China in 2010.”可知,喜爱成龙、李小龙,想学正宗功夫,是来华原因;武当武术视频吸引他来华;拥有中文名是他拜师学艺之后才得到的,不是来华的原因。
30.根据第三段“Instead, they help achieve balance between inner spirit and outer strength, just as his master once told him, ‘Develop virtue before practising martial arts.’”点明内在精神与外在力量的平衡,可知此处“virtue”指的是人的品德或美德,选项D“noun /'vɜːtʃu:/ a general quality of goodness in a person”符合语境。
31.根据文章时间线索梳理:第二段“Attracted by a video of Wudang martial arts online, he finally made up his mind to come to China in 2010.”对应④2010年来中国前在网上观看视频;第四段“So in 2018, he decided to return to Wudang Mountain to teach and spread Wudang culture.”对应①2018年决定返回武当山任教(成为教练);最后一段“With encouragement from his wife, he started posting videos online about martial arts in 2020.”对应②2020年开始发布视频并拥有数百万粉丝;最后一段“Now he is busy preparing for a new international summer camp.”对应③现在正准备新的国际夏令营。正确顺序为④→①→②→③。
32.文章主要讲述了美国人Pinnick来中国学习武术,并最终通过教学和网络传播武当文化,旨在加深不同文化间的理解。
C
In late August, a British TV host named Kirstie Allsopp found herself in a media storm, because she posted on social media that her son, 15-year-old Oscar, and his 16-year-old friend went on a three-week trip by train to many famous cities like Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Berlin and Madrid. Kirstie ended her story by saying if we worry too much, our kids will be scared too. But if we trust them, they can do amazing things.
Her post got two million views. Some people agreed with her. However, others thought it was wrong for teens to travel without adults. This caused a lot of talk, which made the headlines (成为重要新闻) in Britain and even caught the attention of UK social services. People focused on when it’s okay for kids to travel alone without adults.
Travel experts say it’s difficult to decide how old someone should be before they can travel alone. It really depends on many factors like how mature (成熟的) they are, their travel experience, the rules of the country they’re going to, and how safe that place is.
Carolyn Pearson, who runs a company that helps business travelers stay safe, said, “I think the skills teens learn from traveling by themselves for three weeks might be more valuable than what they learn in three years of school.”
People who support young travelers to explore the world believe it can be really good for them, even if it seems risky. Cole Robinson, a filmmaker from Manchester, says his first solo (单独的) trip to Barcelona at 16 was a big moment in his life. It made him work in jobs that let him see the world.
In fact, when young travelers are going somewhere, a consent (同意) letter from parents is important. Don’t forget travel insurance (保险), which is also important for beginners.” Travel insurance companies have an interest in solving their customers’ problems, “a travel expert said,” so it will be a way to protect your child in his first solo adventure.”
33.Why did Kirstie face a social media storm?
A.She let her young teenage son travel without adult supervision.
B.The program she hosted was not popular.
C.She was worried about her kid too much.
D.She didn’t provide her kid with support.
34.What did people mainly worry about the kids’ trip?
A.What kinds of children can travel alone.
B.The age at which a child can travel alone.
C.Whether young teenagers should travel alone.
D.Whether a solo trip can help young teenagers grow.
35.What can we know about Carolyn and Cole?
A.Both of them work in a travel company. B.Carolyn is against Cole’s view.
C.Neither of them supports Kirstie. D.They share the same view.
36.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Different popular ways for teenagers to travel.
B.Whether kids should be allowed to travel alone.
C.An online debate about parenting.
D.Traveling alone is beneficial to kids’ growth.
【答案】33.A 34.B 35.D 36.B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,由一则英国主持人允许未成年儿子独自跨国旅行引发舆论热议的新闻展开,围绕青少年是否适合独自旅行展开多方讨论,分析独自旅行的价值与出行注意事项。
【详解】33.根据第一段“...because she posted on social media that her son, 15-year-old Oscar, and his 16-year-old friend went on a three-week trip by train...”以及第二段“However, others thought it was wrong for teens to travel without adults.”可知,Kirstie遭遇媒体风暴是因为她让未成年的儿子独自旅行,这引发了争议。
34.根据第二段“People focused on when it’s okay for kids to travel alone without adults.”以及第三段“Travel experts say it’s difficult to decide how old someone should be before they can travel alone.”可知,人们主要担忧和讨论的焦点在于孩子多大年龄适合独自旅行。虽然争议起因是“是否应该”,但文中明确指出公众关注点落在了“when/how old”上。
35.根据第四段Carolyn说的话“...skills teens learn from traveling by themselves... might be more valuable...”可知她认为独自旅行很有价值;根据第五段Cole的经历“...his first solo trip to Barcelona at 16 was a big moment in his life.”可知他认为独自旅行对他人生影响重大。两人都对青少年独自旅行持支持态度,观点一致。
36.文章首先由一位母亲让儿子独自旅行引发的争议切入,接着讨论了公众对此的担忧(年龄、安全),然后引用专家和支持者的观点说明独自旅行的益处,最后给出建议。整篇文章围绕“是否应该允许孩子独自旅行”以及相关的讨论展开。

Iceland is the most eco-friendly country in the world. Sitting on a geologic (地质的) hot spot with lots of volcanic (火山的) activities, Iceland has plenty of geothermal (地热的) energy. In fact, it is Icelanders who have truly won this title. They made decisions to use clean energy and learned how to make good use of their natural resources.
An Icelandic baker named Rafn Hilmarsson bakes hverabrauð (hot-springs bread), just as his mother and his grandmother did before. Every day, Rafn takes the bread dough (面团) to his oven—a hole dug near the town’s lake. The hole is about one foot deep, where temperatures are near the boiling point. Rafn covers the hole with sand. After 24 hours, he returns to dig out his fully baked bread, hot from its earthly oven.
Most homes are heated using geothermal water from underground. But that wasn’t always the case. Until the 1970s, most people in Iceland heated their homes using oil, which was expensive. So the government put in pipes that brought hot water from beneath Earth’s surface to Icelanders’ homes. Those same pipes carrying hot water to heat homes were also used to help melt (融化) snow and ice from city sidewalks.
In this way, Iceland ended the dependence on oil for heating. In Reykjavik, Icelanders’ heating costs would be five times as high if they still depended on oil. Iceland uses geothermal energy and water energy to produce 99 percent of the country’s electricity. Icelanders are using clean energy to power everything from fishing boats to cars and buses driving around Reykjavik.
Iceland now shares its practice about geothermal heating with the rest of the world. The president of the country travels to other countries, explaining the advantages of geothermal power. Engineers and geologists from Iceland have helped scientists in Germany, the Philippines, China, and the United States learn more about using Earth’s heat for their own projects. The plenty of cheap, efficient (高效的) energy makes Iceland a possible choice for big companies like Microsoft and Google to run the mega-computers that power the World Wide Web.
37.Why is Iceland the most eco-friendly country in the world?
A.Because it has a lot of volcanic activities. B.Because Iceland has plenty of geothermal energy.
C.Because its people are good at making hot-springs bread. D.Because it uses clean energy like geothermal energy widely.
38.What can we learn about Rafn’s way of baking bread?
A.It depends on natural heat and takes a full day. B.It is a modern creative way invented by himself.
C.He uses special hot spring water to boil the dough. D.He digs a deep hole and keeps fire burning inside.
39.What change did Iceland make in the 1970s?
A.It started to use oil to heat most homes.
B.It increased people’s heating costs five times.
C.It built pipes to bring hot geothermal water for heating.
D.It stopped using geothermal energy to melt snow on sidewalks.
40.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Iceland only keeps its geothermal technology to itself.
B.Iceland’s geothermal power is expensive but highly efficient.
C.Microsoft and Google have set up the mega-computers in Iceland.
D.Iceland offers help to other countries in using geothermal energy.
【答案】37.D 38.A 39.C 40.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了冰岛如何利用丰富的地热能发展清洁能源,成为世界上最环保的国家,并向其他国家分享地热能利用的经验与技术。
【详解】37.根据第1段“Iceland is the most eco-friendly country in the world... They made decisions to use clean energy and learned how to make good use of their natural resources.”及第4段“Iceland uses geothermal energy and water energy to produce 99 percent of the country’s electricity.”可知,冰岛被称为世界上最环保的国家,核心原因是它广泛使用地热能等清洁能源。
38.根据第2段“Every day, Rafn takes the bread dough to his oven—a hole dug near the town’s lake. The hole is about one foot deep, where temperatures are near the boiling point. Rafn covers the hole with sand. After 24 hours, he returns to dig out his fully baked bread”可知,Rafn烤面包依靠天然地热,且需要整整24小时(一天)。
39.根据第3段“Until the 1970s, most people in Iceland heated their homes using oil, which was expensive. So the government put in pipes that brought hot water from beneath Earth’s surface to Icelanders’ homes.”可知,20世纪70年代,冰岛铺设管道,用地热热水为房屋供暖。
40.根据第5段“Iceland now shares its practice about geothermal heating with the rest of the world. The president of the country travels to other countries, explaining the advantages of geothermal power. Engineers and geologists from Iceland have helped scientists in Germany, the Philippines, China, and the United States learn more about using Earth’s heat...”可知,冰岛向其他国家提供地热能利用的帮助与技术支持。

Do you often find yourself putting off homework until the last minute? You know it’s important, but you just can’t seem to get started. This is a very common problem called procrastination. 41
Why do we procrastinate? Usually, it’s not because we are lazy. Often, it’s because the task feels too big, too boring, or we are afraid of doing it badly. 42
One simple and effective method to fight procrastination is called the “Five-Minute Rule”. Tell yourself: “I will just work on this for five minutes. After five minutes, I can stop if I want to.” 43 Once you start, you often build “momentum”, and it becomes much easier to continue.
Another great strategy is to break a huge task into tiny, clear steps. 44 Instead of writing “Finish history project,” write down “Open my history book,” “Read page 1,” or “Write the title.” Finishing these small steps gives you a feeling of success and pushes you forward.
The most important thing is to just begin. Don’t wait for the “perfect moment” or for you to “feel ready.” That perfect moment may never come. 45 Even a small step is still a step forward. Just start, and you will be surprised at what you can achieve.
A.Our brain finds it much easier to accept a small action than a huge project.
B.The hardest part of any task is simply taking the first action.
C.So, what can we do to beat this bad habit?
D.It’s when we avoid doing a task that we know we should be doing.
E.This trick works because starting is always the biggest challenge.
【答案】41.D 42.C 43.E 44.A 45.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了拖延症的定义、产生原因以及克服拖延症的几种有效方法。
【详解】41.根据文章第 1 段“This is a very common problem called procrastination.”可推知此处应进一步解释什么是拖延症,选项 D 对其进行了定义。
42.根据文章第 2 段“Often, it’s because the task feels too big, too boring, or we are afraid of doing it badly.”以及下文接着介绍解决方法可知,此处应起到承上启下的作用,引出如何克服这一习惯。
43.根据文章第 3 段“One simple and effective method to fight procrastination is called the “Five-Minute Rule”.” 可推知此处应解释这个技巧为何有效,选项 E 中提到“This trick works”与之对应。
44.根据文章第 4 段“Another great strategy is to break a huge task into tiny, clear steps.”可推知此处应解释为何分解任务有效,选项 A 提到大脑更容易接受小行动而非大项目,符合语境。
45.根据文章第 5 段“The most important thing is to just begin.”可推知此处强调开始行动的重要性或难度,选项 B 指出任何任务最难的部分就是采取第一个行动,与主旨契合。
四、写作(共三节,满分30分)
第一节 语篇填词(共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分)
根据短文的内容及首字母提示写出文中所缺单词。
The world’s famous palace, the 600-year-old Forbidden City, receives more than 17 million v 46 every year. But if we were to travel back to the past, this huge palace would be a total mystery to us.
At that time, all buildings in Beijing were low except the Forbidden City. It was guarded by high walls. After getting a look at the golden roof from the outside, common people could only imagine what it looked like inside.
The Forbidden City which is in the heart of Beijing is one of the l 47 palaces on Earth. It c 48 more than 720, 000 square metres and has 1, 050 buildings and more than 8, 700 rooms. It was b 49 by the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. After that, it served as the living and working place for fourteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty and ten emperors of the Qing Dynasty u 50 the last emperor Pu Yi left in 1924. The palace saw the highs and lows of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, as well as how Qing Dynasty finally came to an end in China.
【答案】46.(v)isitors 47.(l)argest 48.(c)ontains 49.(b)uilt 50.(u)ntil
【导语】本文介绍了拥有600年历史的北京故宫。
【详解】46.句意:世界著名的宫殿,有600年历史的紫禁城,每年接待超过1700万游客。根据“The world’s famous palace, the 600-year-old Forbidden City, receives more than 17 million...every year.”可知,此处表达接待超过1700万游客,结合首字母可知,visitor“游客”符合题意,又因为空前有17 million,此处应填可数名词复数形式。故填(v)isitors。
47.句意:位于北京市中心的紫禁城是世界上最大的宫殿之一。one of the+形容词最高级+可数名词复数“最……之一”,此处表达紫禁城是世界上最大的宫殿之一,结合首字母可知,largest“最大的”符合题意,故填(l)argest。
48.句意:它占地超过72万平方米,拥有1050栋建筑和8700多个房间。根据“It...more than 720, 000 square metres and has 1, 050 buildings and more than 8, 700 rooms.”可知,此处表达占地超过72万平方米,结合首字母可知,contain“包含”符合题意,又因为本句为陈述事实,用一般现在时,且主语it为第三人称单数,谓语动词用三单,故填(c)ontains。
49.句意:它是由明朝永乐皇帝建造的。根据“It was...by the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.”可知,此处表达是紫禁城由明朝永乐皇帝建造的,结合首字母可知,build“建造”符合题意,又因为it和build构成被动关系,被动语态构成为:be done,故填(b)uilt。
50.句意:此后,这里一直是明朝十四位皇帝和清朝十位皇帝的生活和工作场所,直到1924年最后一位皇帝溥仪离开。根据“After that, it served as the living and working place for fourteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty and ten emperors of the Qing Dynasty...the last emperor Pu Yi left in 1924.”可知,本句为状语从句,意为直到1924年最后一位皇帝溥仪离开,结合首字母,until“直到”符合题意,引导时间状语从句。故填(u)ntil。
第二节 完成句子(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
51.下周,学校操场将举行社团展览节。
Next week, a school clubs fair ________ ________ ________ in the playground.
【答案】 will be held
【详解】根据中英文对照可知,空处缺“将举行”的英文。hold“举行”为动词,a school clubs fair与hold之间为被动关系,根据“Next week.”可知,本句为一般将来时的被动语态,其结构为will be done。故填will;be;held。
52.现场将会有超过20个社团。
________ ________ ________ over 20 clubs in the fair.
【答案】 There will be
【详解】根据中英文对照可知,空处缺“将会有”的英文;there be句型,表示“某地有某物”,根据句意可知,此处需一般将来时,There be句型的一般将来时结构为There will be+名词,故填There;will;be。
53.李华不知道应该参加哪个社团。
Li Hua doesn’t know ________ ________ ________ ________ join.
【答案】 which club he should
【详解】 根据中英文提示可知,此处需要表达“应该参加哪个社团”。know后接宾语从句,“应该”可用should表示;“哪个社团”用which club来表达;用he来代替Li Hua,宾语从句用陈述语序。故填which;club;he;should。
54.他决定参观每一个社团。
He ________ ________ ________ each club in the fair.
【答案】 decides to visit
【详解】对比所给中英文可知,设空处为“决定参观”;decide to do sth.“决定做某事”,是固定搭配,此处应用一般现在时;visit“参观”。故填decides;to;visit。
55.多么令人兴奋的一天啊!
________ ________ ________ day it will be!
【答案】 What an exciting
【详解】对比题干可知,此处是what感叹句,结构是“What a/an+形容词+名词单数+主语+谓语”。exciting令人兴奋的,以元音音素开头,需要用an。故填What;an;exciting。

Jake Pinnick, the 36-year-old from the United States, has an unusual story of “Becoming Chinese”. Now he is known as a foreign coach at Wudang Mountain in Hubei province, teaching martial arts (武术) to students from around the world.
As a fan of Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee, Pinnick always wanted to learn “real kung fu from its roots (根源)”. Attracted by a video of Wudang martial arts online, he finally made up his mind to come to China in 2010.
Life in China was not easy at the beginning. The training was hard, but he never gave up. By repeating every move countless times each day, he gradually realized that martial arts are never supposed to compete against or win over others. Instead, they help achieve balance between inner spirit and outer strength, just as his master once told him, “Develop virtue before practising martial arts.”
After finishing his five-year training at Wudang Mountain, Pinnick returned to the US with his Chinese wife and their daughter. However, he found himself “stuck between Chinese and American culture”. So in 2018, he decided to return to Wudang Mountain to teach and spread Wudang culture.
Over the past years in China, Pinnick has become completely used to the local life. He now enjoys drinking hot tea instead of coffee. He is also proud of his Chinese name, Li Zigen, given by his master.
Pinnick hopes to deepen understanding between different cultures through his efforts. With encouragement from his wife, he started posting videos online about martial arts in 2020. His videos soon got popular, attracting millions of fans. Now he is busy preparing for a new international summer camp. “I want to let people from all over the world enjoy the beauty of traditional Chinese culture and benefit from it,” he said.
29.Which has nothing to do with the reasons for Pinnick’s coming to China?
A.The wish of having a Chinese name.
B.The love of Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee.
C.The dream of learning Chinese kung fu.
D.The attraction of a Wudang martial arts video.
30.What’s the best explanation of the underlined word “virtue” in Paragraph 3?
A.noun /'vɜːtʃu:/ a smart ability to learn something new
B.noun /'vɜːtʃu:/ a fast movement in playing martial arts
C.noun /'vɜːtʃu:/ a strong body for practicing martial arts
D.noun /'vɜːtʃu:/ a general quality of goodness in a person
31.Put the following events in the correct time order.
① Pinnick became a coach at Wudang Mountain.
② Pinnick became popular and had millions of fans.
③ Pinnick planned a new international summer camp.
④ Pinnick watched a video of Wudang martial arts online.
A.④→①→②→③ B.②→③→④→①
C.①→④→②→③ D.①→②→④→③
32.What can be the best title for the passage?

In late August, a British TV host named Kirstie Allsopp found herself in a media storm, because she posted on social media that her son, 15-year-old Oscar, and his 16-year-old friend went on a three-week trip by train to many famous cities like Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Berlin and Madrid. Kirstie ended her story by saying if we worry too much, our kids will be scared too. But if we trust them, they can do amazing things.
Her post got two million views. Some people agreed with her. However, others thought it was wrong for teens to travel without adults. This caused a lot of talk, which made the headlines (成为重要新闻) in Britain and even caught the attention of UK social services. People focused on when it’s okay for kids to travel alone without adults.
Travel experts say it’s difficult to decide how old someone should be before they can travel alone. It really depends on many factors like how mature (成熟的) they are, their travel experience, the rules of the country they’re going to, and how safe that place is.
Carolyn Pearson, who runs a company that helps business travelers stay safe, said, “I think the skills teens learn from traveling by themselves for three weeks might be more valuable than what they learn in three years of school.”
People who support young travelers to explore the world believe it can be really good for them, even if it seems risky. Cole Robinson, a filmmaker from Manchester, says his first solo (单独的) trip to Barcelona at 16 was a big moment in his life. It made him work in jobs that let him see the world.
In fact, when young travelers are going somewhere, a consent (同意) letter from parents is important. Don’t forget travel insurance (保险), which is also important for beginners.” Travel insurance companies have an interest in solving their customers’ problems, “a travel expert said,” so it will be a way to protect your child in his first solo adventure.”
33.Why did Kirstie face a social media storm?
A.She let her young teenage son travel without adult supervision.
B.The program she hosted was not popular.
C.She was worried about her kid too much.
D.She didn’t provide her kid with support.
34.What did people mainly worry about the kids’ trip?
A.What kinds of children can travel alone.
B.The age at which a child can travel alone.
C.Whether young teenagers should travel alone.
D.Whether a solo trip can help young teenagers grow.
35.What can we know about Carolyn and Cole?
A.Both of them work in a travel company. B.Carolyn is against Cole’s view.
C.Neither of them supports Kirstie. D.They share the same view.
36.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Different popular ways for teenagers to travel.
B.Whether kids should be allowed to travel alone.
C.An online debate about parenting.
D.Traveling alone is beneficial to kids’ growth.
D
Iceland is the most eco-friendly country in the world. Sitting on a geologic (地质的) hot spot with lots of volcanic (火山的) activities, Iceland has plenty of geothermal (地热的) energy. In fact, it is Icelanders who have truly won this title. They made decisions to use clean energy and learned how to make good use of their natural resources.
An Icelandic baker named Rafn Hilmarsson bakes hverabrauð (hot-springs bread), just as his mother and his grandmother did before. Every day, Rafn takes the bread dough (面团) to his oven—a hole dug near the town’s lake. The hole is about one foot deep, where temperatures are near the boiling point. Rafn covers the hole with sand. After 24 hours, he returns to dig out his fully baked bread, hot from its earthly oven.
Most homes are heated using geothermal water from underground. But that wasn’t always the case. Until the 1970s, most people in Iceland heated their homes using oil, which was expensive. So the government put in pipes that brought hot water from beneath Earth’s surface to Icelanders’ homes. Those same pipes carrying hot water to heat homes were also used to help melt (融化) snow and ice from city sidewalks.
In this way, Iceland ended the dependence on oil for heating. In Reykjavik, Icelanders’ heating costs would be five times as high if they still depended on oil. Iceland uses geothermal energy and water energy to produce 99 percent of the country’s electricity. Icelanders are using clean energy to power everything from fishing boats to cars and buses driving around Reykjavik.
Iceland now shares its practice about geothermal heating with the rest of the world. The president of the country travels to other countries, explaining the advantages of geothermal power. Engineers and geologists from Iceland have helped scientists in Germany, the Philippines, China, and the United States learn more about using Earth’s heat for their own projects. The plenty of cheap, efficient (高效的) energy makes Iceland a possible choice for big companies like Microsoft and Google to run the mega-computers that power the World Wide Web.
37.Why is Iceland the most eco-friendly country in the world?
A.Because it has a lot of volcanic activities. B.Because Iceland has plenty of geothermal energy.
C.Because its people are good at making hot-springs bread. D.Because it uses clean energy like geothermal energy widely.
38.What can we learn about Rafn’s way of baking bread?
A.It depends on natural heat and takes a full day. B.It is a modern creative way invented by himself.
C.He uses special hot spring water to boil the dough. D.He digs a deep hole and keeps fire burning inside.
39.What change did Iceland make in the 1970s?
A.It started to use oil to heat most homes.
B.It increased people’s heating costs five times.
C.It built pipes to bring hot geothermal water for heating.
D.It stopped using geothermal energy to melt snow on sidewalks.
40.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Iceland only keeps its geothermal technology to itself.
B.Iceland’s geothermal power is expensive but highly efficient.
C.Microsoft and Google have set up the mega-computers in Iceland.
D.Iceland offers help to other countries in using geothermal energy.

Do you often find yourself putting off homework until the last minute? You know it’s important, but you just can’t seem to get started. This is a very common problem called procrastination. 41
Why do we procrastinate? Usually, it’s not because we are lazy. Often, it’s because the task feels too big, too boring, or we are afraid of doing it badly. 42
One simple and effective method to fight procrastination is called the “Five-Minute Rule”. Tell yourself: “I will just work on this for five minutes. After five minutes, I can stop if I want to.” 43 Once you start, you often build “momentum”, and it becomes much easier to continue.
Another great strategy is to break a huge task into tiny, clear steps. 44 Instead of writing “Finish history project,” write down “Open my history book,” “Read page 1,” or “Write the title.” Finishing these small steps gives you a feeling of success and pushes you forward.
The most important thing is to just begin. Don’t wait for the “perfect moment” or for you to “feel ready.” That perfect moment may never come. 45 Even a small step is still a step forward. Just start, and you will be surprised at what you can achieve.
A.Our brain finds it much easier to accept a small action than a huge project.
B.The hardest part of any task is simply taking the first action.
C.So, what can we do to beat this bad habit?
D.It’s when we avoid doing a task that we know we should be doing.
E.This trick works because starting is always the biggest challenge.
