For over 40 years, the CCTF has worked hard to help children in need all over China. Millions of children have got better education, care and life because of its work. The CCTF has many important projects. One of the earliest and most important projects is the Spring Bud Project. It aims to help provide better educational chances for girls from poor families. Thanks to this project, many girls who had to stop going to school could come back to class. They got schoolbags, books and fees support. Now they can stay in school and hope for a better future. Another important project is the Happy Home for Children Project. The project sets up happy homes for left-behind children in the countryside. These children’s parents work far away in big cities, so they often feel lonely. The happy homes give them a warm place to stay.

C Lei Diansheng is a famous Chinese explorer and environmental protector. Born in 1963 in a small village near Harbin, he is called “the modern Xu Xiake” for his great journey. Before starting his trip, he spent 10 years preparing — he did daily long runs to build up his strength and read many books on wild survival to learn how to deal with dangers. From 1998 to 2008, Lei spent 10 years walking across China. He walked about 81,000 kilometers — almost twice around the equator (赤道)! During the trip, he wore out 52 pairs of shoes and lost 19 toenails. Once, he even had to eat snake meat to stay alive in the Shennongjia Forest. He faced many dangers, like mudslides (泥石流) and wolf attacks, but he never gave up. In 2008, he made history by walking alone through the Lop Nur Desert — a dry, dangerous place. He walked 1,100 kilometers in 31 days and became the first person to do that alone. Lei didn’t just walk for fun. He visited all 56 ethnic groups (民族) in China, took 40,000 photos and wrote 3.2 million words in his notes. These notes became a “living record” of Chinese culture and nature. He also helped others during his trip — he gave money to poor students and joined in flood rescue (抗洪) work in Hunan Province. Now, Lei still works for nature and education. He leads teams to study the environment, like protecting the Yangtze River. Last year, he took a group of scientists to collect water samples there. He also works with traditional artists to turn his travel notes into art, so more people can learn about environmental protection. For students, he organizes hiking camps in Heilongjiang’s forests, where kids learn to identify wild plants and understand local ethnic cultures. Lei’s story tells us: True adventure is not just walking far. It’s about loving our land and protecting it. 58. Why is Lei called “the modern Xu Xiake”? A. Because he was born near Harbin. B. Because he looked like Xu Xiake. C. Because he made a great walking journey. D. Because he likes reading Xu Xiake’s books. 59. What can we know about Lei Diansheng’s 10-year journey? A. He walked around the equator twice. B. He wore 52 pairs of new shoes. C. He finished his trip in 2000. D. He faced many dangers but kept going. 60. What is the correct order of Lei Diansheng’s life events according to the passage? ① He became the first person to walk alone through the Lop Nur Desert. ② He spent 10 years preparing for his journey across China. ③ He had to eat snake meat to stay alive in the Shennongjia Forest. ④ He led a group of scientists to collect water samples at the source of the Yangtze River. ⑤ He started his 10-year journey walking across China. A. ②⑤③①④ B. ②⑤③④① C. ⑤②③①④ D. ⑤③②④① 61. What can we infer from Lei’s work now? A. He walked through Lop Nur Desert with his friends. B. He calls on more people to love and protect our nature. C. His travel notes are turned to art completely by himself. D. He organizes hiking camps and kids to learn about art from them. D ①Rome was one of the greatest empires (帝国) in history. Many famous sayings come from it. “Do as the Romans do” means you should follow local customs when you visit a new place. “Rome wasn’t built in a day” means great things take time and patience. “All roads lead to Rome” means there are many ways to reach the same goal. “To fiddle while Rome burns” describes someone who does nothing in a difficult situation. These sayings are still widely used today. But what made Rome so powerful? ②There are several reasons why Rome became one of the greatest empires in history. ③First, the Romans were excellent planners. They did not do things randomly. They carefully designed their cities, army and government. Everything was well organized. The army had strict rules. The government had different branches that checked each other. This careful planning helped Rome run smoothly even when it was very large. ④Second, the Romans learned from others. They did not try to invent everything themselves. When they saw a good idea from another culture, such as the Greeks, they took it and made it better. Greek statues, buildings and philosophy (哲学) were all improved by the Romans. This ability to learn and improve made Rome stronger over time. ⑤Lastly, the Romans were patient and never gave up. They understood that a great empire could not be built quickly. It took hundreds of years of hard work. Generations of Romans kept building roads, training soldiers and making laws. As the saying goes, Rome wasn’t built in a day. This patience was key to their success. ⑦In conclusion, Rome became powerful because of its careful planning, willingness to learn from others, endless patience and strong unity. That is why its stories and sayings are still with us today. The next time you face a difficult task, remember: be patient, plan carefully, and keep learning. That is the Roman way. 62. Read the situation below and choose the correct saying. Tom has a big science project to finish. He has worked on it for two weeks, but he still has a lot to do. He feels worried and says, “I’ll never finish it on time!” His friend says to him, “________”. A. All roads lead to Rome. B. Rome wasn’t built in a day. C. Do as the Romans do. D. To fiddle while Rome burns. 63. What does the underlined word “randomly” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Without a clear plan or purpose. B. Very quickly and loudly. C. After thinking very carefully. D. In a very old-fashioned way. 64. What can you infer from Paragraph 4? A. The Greeks were not good at statues, buildings or philosophy. B. The Greeks were kind because they taught the Romans everything. C. The Romans were clever because they could make others’ culture better. D. The Romans borrowed others’ culture so they didn’t have their own culture. 65. If a student has difficulty learning a new language, what advice would be given by a Roman? A. Ask teachers and parents for help. B. Just work hard day and night. C. Finish everything in one day. D. Be patient and make a careful plan. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题60分） 五、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分） 根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。（每空一词） 66. The ▲ of the internet has changed the way we study.

However, there was a great storm at sea. Wild waves crashed all the time, and the strong winds drove his boat to an unknown lonely island. Everyone on the island was very large. Many of them were more than 20 metres tall, with huge hands and heavy footsteps shaking the ground. A farmer found weak Gulliver by the coast and took him home carefully. The farmer’s daughter took Gulliver to town to show him around. Everyone in town was surprised to see such a small person and crowded to watch curiously. Some kids even tried to touch his clothes gently. The queen heard about Gulliver and bought him from the farmer at a high price. She gave Gulliver to the king as a present. The king enjoyed listening to Gulliver talk about his home and his wonderful travels. A warm small box was also built for him with soft blankets inside. Wherever the king and queen went, they carried Gulliver with them in his box. One day, Gulliver went to the beach to breathe fresh air. Suddenly, an eagle picked up Gulliver’s box-with Gulliver in it and carried it up into the air. But by accident, the eagle dropped the box into the sea.
