It not only brings great fun but also helps build teamwork and improve physical health. However, since it involves running, jumping and ball-handling, we need to play it safely to avoid common injuries. Here are some important tips to ensure safe and enjoyable basketball playing. ● First, always warm up before playing. Do stretches (伸展) and light runs for 5-10 minutes to relax your muscles—this reduces the risk of sprains (扭伤). ● Second, wear proper clothes: basketball shoes to prevent slipping (滑倒), and knee pads (护膝) if you’re new. ● Third, follow the game rules. Don’t push or hit other players, as this can cause harm. ● Fourth, take breaks when tired. Playing for too long without rest makes your body weak and more likely to get hurt. Remember, safety always comes first in any sport. By following these simple but useful tips, you can fully enjoy playing basketball with your classmates and friends while staying healthy. After all, basketball isn’t just about scoring points or winning games—it’s about sharing happy moments and keeping an active lifestyle together. 24. What can basketball help middle school students build? A. Teamwork. B. Strength. C. Speed. D. Patience. 25. Which is a safe way to play basketball? A. Wearing slippers while playing. B. Jumping warm-up before the game. C. Taking breaks when feeling tired. D. Pushing others to get the ball. 26. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph want to tell us? A. Winning basketball game is not necessary at all. B. The true meaning of basketball is more important than competition. C. Middle school students should play basketball with friends. D. An active lifestyle can only be gotten by playing basketball. C While I was looking at the villagers, Mr. Hamel said to us in the same gentle voice, “Children, an order from Berlin asks that only German be taught in Alsace (法国阿尔萨斯大区). A new teacher will arrive tomorrow. This is your last French lesson.” These words hit me hard. Those terrible people had made it my last French lesson! But I had hardly learned anything. I wished I could go back in time and make up for all those lost hours and lessons. I understood why Mr. Hamel had put on his best coat and why the villagers were sitting at the back of the room. They, too, wished they could have attended school more often. They wanted to thank our teacher for his forty years of work and to show their respect for the country. I was lost in these thoughts when I heard my name called. It was my turn to recite (背诵). I wished I could recite the rule of participles (分词) confidently, but I failed. I stood there holding onto my desk, unable to lift my head. “I won’t say bad words to you, my little Franz,” Mr. Hamel said. “You must be feeling bad. That’s how it goes. We always say, ‘I have time. I’ll learn it tomorrow.’ And now you see, tomorrow has come. It’s a great misfortune (不幸) that we always put off learning. Now people will ask, ‘How can you say you are French? You don’t even know how to read or write your own language.’ You are not the only one to blame for this, my poor Franz. We all have good reason to blame ourselves. Your parents would rather have you work in the fields to make a bit more money. I sent you to water my garden quite a few times. And when I wanted to go fishing, didn’t I give you the day off?” Mr. Hamel went on. Finally, he spoke of the French language. He called it the most beautiful language in the world and asked us never to forget it. “When a country holds on to its language, it’s like holding the key to its freedom (自由).” he said. 27. How did Franz feel when he heard the news at first? A. Happy and relaxed. B. Worried and afraid. C. Excited and lucky. D. Surprised and sad. 28. What did Mr. Hamel try to tell Franz? A. It’s never too early to learn our own language. B. We should help parents make more money. C. French is the most beautiful language in the world. D. Reading is as important as writing when learning French. 29. What does the underlined word “blame” mean in Chinese? A. 怀疑 B. 责备 C. 鼓励 D. 欣赏 30. .Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A. The Last Lesson B. The Key to Freedom C. The Most Beautiful Language D.

Have you ever stood in the middle of an untidy house, looking at the books and magazines around? You have the thought of tidying them up, but you give up before you start. Well, you are not alone. But luckily, I have found some nice ways to make myself willing to do the housework. Have less stuff (物品) Reducing (减少) the number of the things is a good way to make house cleaning easier. Every few months, I throw away some things we don’t need or use. It could be old clothes that no longer fit or books that I have already read and won’t pick up again. Fewer things make the house tidier and easier to clean. Do a bit each day Cleaning the whole house without a break can be really difficult, so I do a little each day. Monday could be the day to sweep the floors, Tuesday to make the bed, Wednesday to clean the bathroom, and so on. When the weekend comes, I can enjoy my free time watching a film or reading a good book instead of spending hours cleaning. Start with the easiest task When there’s a long list of housework, it can be hard to know where to begin. If so, I will start with the easiest task. When I complete the easiest task successfully, it will give me a sense of achievement. In this way, I will be more willing to go on with the rest of the housework. Make housework interesting Who says housework has to be boring? I’ve found that adding a little fun can make a big difference. I love listening to music and cleaning at the same time. As the music plays, I find myself dancing around. Time flies by and before I know it, the house is clean. I feel excited at the same time. It’s a win-win situation. In short, housework doesn’t have to be something you hate. By using these ways, you can make it easier, or more enjoyable. You might even surprisingly find that you don’t mind cleaning at all. Making yourself willing to do the housework Introduction Cleaning seems like an endless job and you are not the ____51____ one who wants to give it up. ____52____ to make yourself willing to do the housework Having less stuff ·Having ____53____ things at home means less to clean. ·Every several months, I throw away something ____54____ or unnecessary. Doing a bit each day ·I do a little each day because it’s not easy to clean the whole house without a break. ·You don’t have to do the housework at weekends. ____55____, you can do something relaxing, like watching films or reading books. Starting with the easiest task ·It’s hard to know where to begin when there’s too much housework. ·You can encourage yourself to continue with the harder tasks ____56____ first getting a sense of achievement from an easy one. Making housework fun ·Adding something fun like listening to music ____57____ cleaning can make a big difference. ·You will get a nice living environment and a good mood. Conclusion You may enjoy housework if you follow the tips. You may be ____58____ to find that you don’t dislike cleaning any more. Your ideas Besides the ways mentioned, can you think of another creative way to encourage yourself to do housework? Explain how it works. (at least 20 words) _____________________________________59_____________________________________ B） 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在相应横线上。 A library for the future Will the printed book still exist in 100 years?
