It’s not too late to read or reread the best-sellers. Here are the first three books. ★The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd The story happened in the early 1800s. It told the relationship between Handful, a slave (奴隶), and Sarah, her owner, as they grew up together from childhood. Their good friendship, in the face of that special society, became a beautiful and difficult thing to watch as it changed over time. ★Gray Mountain by John Grisham Samantha Kofer lost her job as a lawyer. She took a job at a legal aid firm (法律援助公司). For the first time her new job put her front and centre in the courtroom (法庭), and it also put her in terrible danger. ★All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr In the story, Marie-Laure, a blind French girl lived with her father during World War II, and Werner, a German young man who worked on building and fixing radios. This story questioned how the war made a difference to their lives. 根据以上内容，选择正确答案。 36. There are ________ books that are introduced in the passage. A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 10 37. The Invention of Wings is mainly about ________. A. friendship B. love C. war D. birds 38. ________ wrote the book Gray Mountain. A. Sue Monk Kidd B. Werner C. John Grisham D. Anthony Doerr 39. What do we know about Werner’s job during World War II? A. He worked in the army. B. He worked on building and fixing radios. C. He worked as a slave in Marie-Laure’s house. D. He worked for a legal aid firm. 40. What do these three books have in common? A. They are all about laws. B. They have the same idea. C. They are all written by the same writer. D. They are all best-sellers. (B) ①In the world, what people in different places should do isn’t always the same. Something that seems common to you may seem strange to others. Here are some surprising examples. ②People in Malaysia use their thumb (拇指) to point. In many cultures, people probably think that pointing with a finger isn’t very nice. However, in some countries like Indonesia and Malaysia, it is considered much more polite to point with the thumb. ③The Japanese enjoy slurping. Most cultures have rules about table manners. In western countries, making noise while eating food is usually considered impolite. However, in Japan, making slurping sounds while eating noodles can be accepted. This probably has something to do with the way noodles are eaten. The Japanese slurp up their noodles without winding them around an eating tool. This way of noodle eating is naturally noisy. Making slurping sounds when eating noodles in Japan shows that you’re enjoying them. ④Using your left hand might be impolite. In some countries, the use of the left hand for eating or other activities is considered impolite. People in these countries use their left hands for cleaning themselves after using the toilet, so the left hand is considered dirty. This custom is known in much of the Middle East, Sri Lanka, and parts of Africa. 根据短文内容，选择正确答案。 41. In which of the following countries is it more polite to point with the thumb? A. Only Malaysia. B. Indonesia and Malaysia. C. All Asian countries. D. Western countries. 42. What does the underlined word “slurping” mean in English? A. Keeping quiet. B. Talking loudly. C. Being on time. D. Eating or drinking noisily. 43. Why is the left hand considered dirty in some countries? A. Because it is used less frequently (频繁地) than the right hand. B. Because it is used for handling unclean objects in daily life C. Because it is used for cleaning oneself after using the toilet. D. Because it is believed to have more bacteria (细菌) naturally. 44. What’s the purpose of the passage? A. To show how to eat noodles in different cultural customs. B. To introduce some surprising examples of customs to readers. C. To explain the importance of greeting manners. D. To teach readers how to eat with proper table manners. 45. Which is the right structure (结构) of the passage (①= Paragraph 1…)? A. ①/②③④ B. ①②③/④ C. ①/②/③④ D. ①/②③/④ (C) Jilin Province, in the northeast of China, is famous for Changbai Mountain. It is one of the “Top 10 Mountains in China”. The name of it means “a mountain which remains white all year round” in Chinese. The name Changbai Mountain was first used in the Liao Dynasty. In the early morning, we climbed the mountain from the western side. Along the way, we saw several wild animals and we were totally shocked at the beauty of the mountain. The whole mountain area is under thick snow cover for two months every year. The higher points from 1,500 meters to 2,400 meters above sea level are covered with snow for more than six months. Changbai Mountain is one of the most popular places for winter sports and amusements. We even tried many thrilling rides on the snow. It was so much fun. Besides, we enjoyed different kinds of foods. What excited us most is undoubtedly the Tianchi Lake. It is the deepest alpine (高山的) lake in China. The Tianchi Lake is the place where the Songhua, Tumen and Yalu rivers begin and it has been regarded as a mysterious lake. Not all visitors are lucky enough to see the Tianchi Lake clearly the first time they go there, but we were. One more thing we remembered was taking baths in the hot springs. All our tiredness and pressure were gone there. As visitors, we can’t stop being in love with everything we experienced in Changbai Mountain. 根据短文内容，判断句子正（T）、误（F）。 46. Changbai means “remaining white all year round” in Chinese. 47. The name Changbai Mountain was first used in the Tang Dynasty. 48. Along the way, the students were totally shocked at the wild animals. 49. All visitors can see the Tianchi Lake clearly the first time they go there. 50. The students’ tiredness and pressure were gone by taking baths in the hot springs. (D) Do you remember some unforgettable things that happened around you? Have you ever seen a fire? What will you do if there is a fire? ___51___ Or will you just stay there and do nothing? Many people are too afraid to do something when there is a fire. But in fact, this is wrong. Last Sunday evening my parents went out for a walk with my sister. But I studied alone at home because I would have an English test. ___52___ I thought he was cooking, so I went on studying. Soon, there was a terrible smell in the air and I thought something was wrong. I went out and saw fire coming out of my neighbor’s kitchen. So I shouted “Fire, Fire!” ___53___ I ran quickly into my house to call 119, and then I rang my neighbor’s doorbell, knocked at the door, but there was no response (回应). I got into the house through the window and found that my neighbor was sleeping in his bedroom. ___54___ We tried our best to pour water through the kitchen window, but the fire was too heavy.

But do you know how to pick a book you really like? Here are some tips. ____56____ Reading on your own isn’t like reading for exams. You can pick something that you are interested in, whether it’s about ancient martial arts (武术) or fashion design. ____57____ What type of books do you love? Do you prefer fiction or non-fiction (or both)? Fiction books like novels or short story collections can transport you to another world or help you imagine something beyond (超出) your own experience. Non-fiction books give you the who, what, when, and why of something. They tell stories using facts. ____58____ What was your mother’s favourite book when she was your age or your dad’s? Find out and give it a read—then you can talk about what your family liked about it and share your thoughts about the book. It’s fun to get to know your family a little better, and to find a book you’ll enjoy! ____59____ Get your friends together and swap (交换) recommendations of authors, and main plots (情节).

No one knows what will happen tomorrow. A very strong earthquake, with a magnitude of 6.8, hit Morocco on the night of Sept. 8, 2023. At that time, Sam was away from his home in the small town of Amizmiz, Tamanlouakte, near the epicenter of the earthquake. He hurried back home through the broken buildings that covered the roads. When he arrived, he found that his house was completely broken apart. Sam’s father, Mohamed, was trying very hard to save his three grandchildren who were still under the fallen building. Sadly, two of Sam’s three children—his 11-year-old daughter, Asma, and 5-year-old son, Ibrahim died. Asma and Ibrahim were among the 47 people who lost their lives in the earthquake in Tamanlouakte. Volunteers provided Sam’s family with a tent, warm clothes, and food to help them live through the first part of the disaster. The workers from the Moroccan Red Crescent also helped Sam’s family as they dealt with their huge loss. In the face of disasters, it’s impossible to bring back what people have lost, but offering a hand in time will help the families rebuild their lives. The help is just the first step for a family to get better after an earthquake. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 66.

Where did the grandfather find the three children? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 68.
