Then you can measure (测量) air pressure at home and predict the weather yourself! 1 Make the Rubber Cover Scissor off 1/3 of the balloon’s bottom. Spread the left part. Pull it tight over the jar top. Press the balloon to make it smooth and tie it with a rubber band. 2 Fix the Straw Pointer Cut one straw-end at 45° for a sharp point. Tape the straw’s other end to the balloon’s center. Ensure it points straight—it’s your “pointer”! 3 Draw the Lines Put a sheet of A4 paper in front of the straw’s sharp end. Mark the straw-pointing spot with a pencil. Use a ruler to make 4 lines each above and below this spot, 0.5cm apart. 4 Name the Weather Signs Draw a sun next to the top mark, a cloud with raindrops next to the bottom mark. Place the whole device (装置) in a corner where it won’t be disturbed (打扰). 5 Observe and Record Check straw position daily at set times, record where it points. If the straw points to the top mark, the weather will probably be dry and sunny. If it points to the bottom mark, it may rain. If it’s in the middle, the weather will likely stay the same. How it works... Warm air rising causes low pressure (common in rainy weather), and inside air pushes the balloon lid (盖子) out, and then, the moving straw pointer goes down. Sunny days are the opposite. 25. Among all the following objects, which is needed in Step 1? A. B. C. D. 26. The straw is used to ________. A. fix the rubber band B. draw the pictures C. point at the lines D. make the balloon smooth 27. According to the underlined part in Step 3, which picture is correct? A. B. C. D. B Look at the pictures. Which doodle (涂鸦) do you like best? The one you choose may say something about your character. You are a person who feels a lot. You often have strong attitude and never show your weak side. When something upsets you, you can talk about it with your friends so that you don’t get overwhelmed (不知所措的). You are full of energy and can find joy in everything you do. You are very happy every day. You are afraid of being alone. You need to treat life seriously and start making better choices. You’re ambitious. You don’t like laziness and work very hard. But sometimes you may become self-centered. Whenever a friend tries to share a story of them with you, you only think about yourself. You should try to be a better listener. You are smart. You can control yourself. You follow your dreams without comparing yourself with others. Sometimes you should come out of your comfort zone and try new things. 28. Which picture shows a person who may sometimes become self-centered? A. B. C. D. 29. Which doodle may the smart and self-controlled people choose? A. The first doodle. B. The second doodle. C. The third doodle. D. The fourth doodle. 30. This text probably comes from ________. A. a novel B. a diary C. a magazine D. a math workbook Jordan had his eye on a scoring record. Jordan took a deep breath as he stood in the doorway, looking in at the basketball court. Maybe today I’ll make history, he thought. The city’s youth basketball league was holding a celebration. Today’s championship game marked 50 years since the league’s first title game (冠军争夺赛). Before the game, Jordan looked over a special program. It listed the winners of each championship game and the top scorers. Jordan stopped when he read the name of the top scorer from a game 30 years before. “Devin, look!” he said to his friend, “Do you see who has the all-time record? My dad! Twenty-four points. But he never told me that.” “Twenty-four points,” Devin said. “That’s great.” Jordan’s best was 19 points. He was the league’s top scorer. When his parents showed up at the gym, Jordan brought the program over to them. His dad laughed. “I had quite a game that day,” he said. “But look at the score. I prefer to trade all my points for a win.” Jordan hadn’t noticed that his dad’s team had lost by one point. “That was a great group of teammates,” Dad said. “I’m still friends with a lot of them.” As game time came near, Jordan slammed hands with his teammate Tara and then started to warm up. The courts filled up quickly. Jordan felt strangely calm. He’d played so many games in this gym that it was like his own home. Jordan had led his team to a victory over the Lions last season. Why shouldn’t today be like that? Jordan grew even more confident when he hit the first 2 shots (投篮). The Lions called a break. Jordan ran to the bench and jumped up and down with excitement. “Great start,” Coach said.“But those guys are tough. They’ ll come back on us.” He was right. By halftime, the Lions had pulled ahead, 27-24. Jordan looked up at his parents. His dad nodded and called,“Great work!” But Jordan didn’t feel quite as confident as he had before. The teams traded baskets throughout the second half, with neither building a lead. Eleven seconds left. The scoreboard was clear: LIONS 51. BADGERS 51. Coach told Jordan to bring the ball up the court. “Look for Devin inside, but take the shot if you’ re open,” he said. Jordan glanced at his dad again. His dad pointed to Jordan, then held up two fingers on one hand and three fingers on the other. “Me?” Jordan mouthed. Dad nodded. Jordan had scored 23 points. Another basket would break the record. And it was the right time to do it! Jordan ran right, then left, but he was still a long way from the basket. The viewers started counting the seconds. “Four… three… two.” Jordan rose to shoot. As the Lions rushed toward him, he passed the ball to Devin, wide open near the basket. Devin turned and shot. The ball fell cleanly through the net for the winning points. “Yes!” Jordan shouted. After celebrating with his team, he ran to hug his parents. “You still have the record,” he told his dad. Dad smiled. “You have something more important. A championship. And great teammates. Congratulations on your history!” 31. Which of the following is true according to the article? A. Dad’s team got the championship 30 years before. B. A celebration was held to mark the league’s fiftieth title game. C. Jordan passed the ball to his teammate Devin to win the game. D. Jordan celebrated with the team for his dad’s congratulations. 32. Which is the correct order of the things below? a. Jordan ran to hug his parents after the celebration. b. Jordan’s parents showed up at the gym. c. Jordan looked over a special program. d. Dad pointed to Jordan and held up his fingers. e. Jordan started to warm up for the game. A. c-b-d-e-a B. c-b-e-d-a C. b-c-e-d-a D. b-c-d-e-a 33. What’s the best title of this passage? A. Team’s celebration B. Dad’s record C. Friend’s encouragement D. Jordan’s history D ①China published the world’s first highly clear lunar geologic (地质的) atlas (地图集) on April 21. According to the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), it will provide up-to-date information for future lunar research and exploration. ②“These maps will help choose locations for future lunar research stations,” Ouyang Ziyuan, a well-known lunar scientist, said. “They can also help us better know about the Earth and other planets in the solar system, like Mars.” ③The world has seen great progress in the field of lunar science over the past half a century. However, the lunar geologic atlas that was developed during the Apollo Program remained unchanged. “As lunar geologic studies develop, those old maps can no longer satisfy future needs,” said Liu Jianzhong, a CAS researcher. ④Since 2012, Ouyang and Liu have led a team of scientists from several research centers in compiling (编制) this atlas. Their work was mainly built on information gained from China’s Chang’e Program. Information from other research projects and international tasks was also used. ⑤The new geologic atlas, which is published in both Chinese and English, presents a scale (比例尺) of 1: 2.5 million. Compared with the 1:5 million scale lunar maps from the US in 2020, these larger scale maps show more details. As well as the geologic history of the moon, they provide information on its 14 types of structures (结构) and 17 types of rocks. A total of 12,341 impact craters (撞击坑) and 81 impact basins have also been marked. ⑥This atlas is set to serve many useful purposes, such as lunar resources research and science education. Liu said the upcoming Chang’e-6 task would also use the atlas. “Our maps can help the research by providing scientific support,” he explained. ⑦“Compiling the atlas was a huge task, which included years of effort from a large number of researchers,” said Gregory Michael, a German scientist. “It will be a starting point for every new question of lunar geology.” 34. What is the great value of the new atlas? A. It is the first lunar geologic atlas in the world. B. It proves the hard work of Chinese scientists. C. It will meet the future needs in lunar studies. D. It is built on information from many researches. 35. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A. The large size and mystery of the moon. B. The discovery of Chang’e Program. C. The details of the new geologic atlas. D. The challenges the scientists face. 36. How does the writer prove “This atlas is set to serve many useful purposes”? A. By comparing different purposes. B. By using Chang’e-6 task as an example. C. By using a German scientist’s words. D. By listing information from the new maps. 37. What does “It” in the last paragraph refer to(指代)? A. Scientific support. B. The lunar research. C. Effort from researchers. D. Compiling the atlas. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共 50分） 四、词汇运用 （本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） （A） 根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。 38.

Isn’t that amazing? Recently, an ordinary yet “magical” pair of glasses—the AR Smart Glasses—has hit the market, which goes far beyond regular translation tools by offering hands-free, screen-free, real-time interactive translation. The AR Smart Glasses are lightweight and comfortable to wear. They look just like regular glasses, but the “magic” hidden within them can’t be ignored (忽视). The coolest feature of the AR Smart Glasses is their special translator. When people talk with someone, they can just point the glasses’ camera at the person they’re talking to, and the translation appears on the screen. When people visit a new city wearing AR Smart Glasses, they can simply look at any text, and a translation quickly appears in their view. If they get lost and need directions, the glasses can connect with GPS apps and show them translated directions right in front of their eyes. Even for language learners, it would be wonderful to practice a new language by seeing the words they hear being translated simultaneously (同步地). Learning a language can become quicker, easier, and more certain. Since translation tools like the AR Smart Glasses help people understand words easily, some people start to question whether it’s still necessary to learn English, or any other foreign languages. In fact, knowing a new language is more than just that. When you speak a language fluently, you understand the way people talk, the jokes they make, and the special meanings behind their words. This helps you connect with people better and make real friends. Also, being able to speak more than one language makes you smarter. It helps you think in new ways and solve problems more easily. In a word, learning a language isn’t just about understanding words. More importantly, it’s about real connections with native speakers and a different point of view to see the world. So, even though AR Smart Glasses and other cool tools can help with translations, the real joy and benefits of knowing a language come from speaking it fluently and understanding its culture. 58. What are the AR Smart Glasses used for? ________________________________ 59. What do the AR Smart Glasses look like? ________________________________ 60. How can language learners with the AR Smart Glasses practice a new language? ________________________________ 61. Where does the real joy of learning a new language lie? ________________________________ 62. With the development of translation tools, do you still want to learn new languages? Why? ________________________________ 七、书面表达（本大题共20分） 63. 曾有一位中学校长在全国政协会议上提出：教育应该培养终身运动者、责任担当者、问题解决者和优雅生活者。某英文网站以“How to be a better person”为题开展征文活动，请从中学生的角度写一篇 100 词左右的短文谈谈你的做法。 提示词：responsibility 职责 responsible 负责的 注意事项： （1）短文必须包括思维导图所有要点，并适当发挥； （2）文中不能出现真实姓名、校名等信息； （3）词数：100 左右；开头已经给出，不计入总词数。 How to be a better person As a middle school student, I quite agree with the headteacher’s opinions.
