Usually, the temperature there during the summer is around 35℃. But the heat there last summer was exceptional. It felt like the sun was a big fire hanging right above us. One afternoon, the news said the temperature reached 48℃. The air was so hot that it was hard to breathe (呼吸). We felt like being inside an oven. My brother took cold showers many times a day just to feel a little better. The government (政府) told everyone, “Stay inside between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Drink water. Wear light clothes.” There was nobody in the streets under the burning sky. I later learnt why the weather was so different. The city cut down about 70% of its trees to build more roads and buildings. Those missing trees were like missing friends who used to give people cool air. Without them, the city had no protection from the sun’s strong heat. This trip made me think deeply. We often build roads and buildings without thinking of the trees and the land. The city’s heat is not just its own story; it is a warning to the world. How do we treat nature? Do we see it as a friend to protect, or just space to use? The answer will decide our future. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 31. What can we know from Paragraph 1? A. How the writer got to the city. B. What the writer did in the city. C. Why the writer visited the city. D.

Less rainfall. B. Too many tourists. C. Cutting down trees. D. Stronger heat from the sun. 35. Why did the writer write the text? A. To introduce fun places to visit. B. To describe his unpleasant journey. C. To remind people to take good care of nature. D. To advise tourists to avoid hot cities in the summer. C Many of us love using fridge magnets (冰箱贴) to hold notes or decorate our fridges. Have you noticed a light mark after removing a fridge magnet that has stayed in one place for a long time? It happens for several reasons. First, dust (灰尘) easily collects around magnets. This creates a light line on the fridge. Luckily, cleaning the line with a wet cloth (布) can usually make it disappear. Second, sunlight and air can change the fridge’s colour over time. The paint under the magnet stays new, but the paint around it becomes lighter. Third, water in the air can be a problem. In places like kitchens, water can go between the magnet and the fridge. If there is a small scratch (划痕) on the magnet or the fridge, it might get rusty (生锈的): Rust can leave an ugly brown mark. Also, moving magnets the wrong way can scratch the fridge. If you move a magnet by pushing it across the surface, tiny pieces of dust under it can scratch the paint. So, how can we keep our fridge looking good? It helps to move the magnets often. This helps keep the colour the same everywhere and stops rust. Always remember to ________, and don't push them across the surface. Finally, clean your fridge and magnets with a soft cloth often. This removes dust and keeps your fridge looking clean. If you remember these easy tips, you can keep using your magnets while still having a clean, nice-looking fridge. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 36. How does the writer introduce the topic? A. By giving a tip. B. By telling a story. C. By asking a question. D. By sharing a study result. 37. What causes a light line on the fridge? A. Air. B. Dust. C. Rust. D. Sunlight. 38. What can we learn about rust under a magnet? A. It only happens to old fridges. B. It's easy to clean with a wet cloth. C. It needs water and a scratch to happen. D. It's the most common reason for marks. 39. The best part for “________” is “________”. A. push magnets slowly B. lift magnets straight up C. clean your fridge first D. cover your fridge with a soft cloth 40. How is the text developed? A. Problem→Research→Results B. Examples→Question→Answer C. Problem→Causes→Suggestions D. Examples→Differences→Solution D A small animal shelter in Canada is having a very happy problem. There are not enough animals for adoption (领养) there. The shelter is called Bide Awhile Animal Shelter. It takes care of homeless dogs and cats. This year, something special is happening. As soon as the shelter shares information about the animals, people will come quickly to take them home. Every morning at 9:30, the shelter posts pictures and information about the animals online. By 10:00 a.m. , people often stand in line outside the shelter. And before noon, all the animals already have new families waiting for them. Sam Cole works at the shelter and helps share news about the animals. He says the shelter sometimes has no animals ready for adoption because families choose them so fast. The longest waiting time for any animal has been just 21 days. Most animals leave the shelter on the same day people see their photos. Some remaining animals are only waiting for a final health check before they go to their new homes. In the past, older animals often waited longer for homes. Families usually chose young animals first. But this year, people also want older animals and even animals that need medical care. The shelter believes the change is because many people now understand the advantages (好处) of keeping pets. Pets can help people feel happier and less lonely. To help older animals find homes, the shelter also helps pay for their medical visits and medicine. Now many cages and kennels (狗窝) in the shelter are empty (空的). That is a joyful sign that many animals have found loving homes. 根据短文内容，判断句子正（T）、误（F）。 41. Bide Awhile Animal Shelter looks after homeless dogs and cats and helps them find a new home. 42. Every morning at 10:00, the shelter shares news about the animals online. 43. Sometimes the shelter has no animals for adoption because there are no homeless animals on the street. 44. This year, older animals are more popular than young animals when families choose animals. 45. The shelter thinks the quick adoption is because more and more people realize the benefits of having pets. E Have you ever learnt something interesting, only to forget it a week later? You’re not alone. Our brains (大脑) are great at thinking, but not so great at remembering everything. ____46____ You can store ideas, famous sayings, and useful information in your “second brain” and find them anytime you need. So how do you build your own “second brain”? First, choose the right tool. Some people use note-taking apps. ____47____ The key is to pick one and stick with it. Next, develop a simple way to sort. Don’t just store everything in one place. Create different folders for different subjects—school notes, famous sayings, and personal ideas. ____48____ Also, learn to record ideas anytime. Good ideas often come when you’re walking, showering, or about to sleep. ____49____ Later, when you have time, sort them into your system. ____50____ Review your notes weekly. Cut out what you don’t need. Move things to better places. This keeps your “second brain”clean and useful. Over time, you’ll build a personal knowledge library that helps you study better and think more creatively. 阅读短文，把A—E五个句子填入文中空缺处，使短文内容完整。 A. Finally, don’t just collect——review. B. Write them down at once before they disappear. C. That’s where the idea of a “second brain” comes in. D. This way, you can always find what you need quickly. E.

It has also built is safe homes for them to rest and lay eggs. The group also shares information about butterflies online to teach others. Now, Monarchs matter is popular in many countries. Kids started groups in places like Pakistan and Nigeria. “We want to help new groups all over the world,” Zhang said. “It doesn’t matter what their goal is, as long as they help protect the environment in their own community. ” Challenges remain, so we need more people to take part in environmental protection. Luckily, more and more people are taking action. We’re the future generation (一代) to take care of our planet, “Zhang added. "No matter how old we are, we can make a difference. ” 根据短文内容，回答下列问题 51.
