B “Wow!” said Susan. “I have finished my homework and I’m going to paint a picture of our stairs (楼梯). It’s for a competition in school tomorrow.” “Do you need any help?” her father asked. “It’s almost time for bed.” “I’ll be quick,” said Susan. “I wonder what colour to use.” “Well, our stairs are brown,” said her father. “Thanks, Dad.” said Susan. When she finished her picture, Susan began playing with her brush which was still wet. Suddenly, she dropped the brush right on the picture! There in the middle of her picture was a blob (污点) of brown paint! “Oh, Dad! What shall I do?” Susan cried. “My picture is ruined. And it’s too late to paint another.” “Let me see,” said her father. “The blob looks just like a spot on a dog. All you have to do is to draw a dog around the spot!” “That’s a wonderful idea!” cried Susan. She drew a dog around the blob of brown paint. “That looks just fine. You know, few things are as bad as they seem at first. With a little imagination (想象力), you can turn bad into good,” said Susan’s father. The next day Susan went to school early. When the competition began, Mr King said “I’ve chosen three pictures and I want you to say which one you like best.” The children did not like the first one. The next picture was on the black paper, but the stairs were red. So it was not so good. Then Mr King showed the third painting. It was Susan’s! “The stairs are straight,” said Joe. “Yes, and the brown paint shows up well on the white paper,” said Lucy. “The little dog seems to belong there”, said Terry. The children voted (投票) and Susan’s painting won. “Susan had a good idea,” Mr King said. “That little dog finished a good painting. It made the stairs seem real.” Susan smiled.

It covers 11 countries in North Africa and is over 9 million square kilometres. That’s more than 30% of Africa. In the Sahara Desert, temperatures are very different during the day and at night. It is much hotter during the day than at night. During the day, the hottest time is between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m., when the temperature rises to 33℃. But it is very cold at night. The coldest time is at 4 a. m., when the temperature falls to -1℃. How to stay alive in the Sahara Desert? Marco Rivera, our survival (生存) expert, has some tips. First, take warm clothes and a blanket (毛毯). During the day, cover your body, head and face. Clothes protect you from the sun and keep water in your body. You will also need a warm blanket at night. It can get cold very quickly. Second, try to drink some water at least once every hour. Don’t drink all of the water at once. Drink only what you need. Third, try to close your mouth and not to talk. When you talk, you lose water from your body. Last, eat as little as you can, because if you eat, you will get thirsty and drink all of your water more quickly. You can live for three weeks with no food, but you can only live for three days without water. 21. How does the writer introduce the topic in Paragraph 1? A. By telling a story. B. By giving a saying. C. By listing numbers. D. By giving examples. 22. According to Paragraph 2, which picture may best show the temperatures in the Sahara Desert? A. B. C. D. 23. What can we know from Marco Rivera’s tips? A. In the Sahara Desert, you can talk and eat as usual. B. In the Sahara Desert, water is more important than food. C. In the Sahara Desert, you don’t need a warm blanket at night. D. You can make a phone call with your friends in the Sahara Desert. 24. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To introduce the temperature of the Sahara Desert. B. To encourage people to travel to the Sahara Desert. C. To tell people how to stay alive in the Sahara Desert. D. To introduce some information of the Sahara Desert. 25. Where can you also use the survival skills in the text? A. the Amazon rainforest B. the South Pole ice land C. the Yangtze River wetland D. dry open land in northwest China D On November 26, 2025, a fire broke out at Wang Fuk Court in Hong Kong, killing 128 people including a firefighter. The tragedy (悲剧) shocked the public and made us realize the importance of learning how to protect ourselves in a fire. ____26____ First, leave for safety as soon as possible if a fire breaks out in your building. Fire smoke can fill a high-rise building in minutes. ____27____ When escaping, stay low to the ground and cover your nose and mouth with a wet towel or cloth.
