周周练
Also, each one of you is required to meet with a doctor at the student health center who is specialized in travel medicine.The health center can give you information about appointment times, but be sure to book your appointment early, because the specialist is only at the health center at certain times.⑳To have the benefit, you should have your meeting at least 4-6 weeks before your trip.

It's March in Africa. On the farm, local people are dancing and singing to celebrate their recent harvest. Their hard work has paid off and got beautiful fruit—white and fragrant rice!
This is the Second Farm in Xai-Xai, Mozambique, where Yi Yun has been working for six years.The man from Liaoning, China, followed his Chinese company here as a project manager.The company runs a project to grow rice on the farm, which covers about 1,667 hectares.
周周练
“When we first arrived, the farm was full of weeds (杂草), as tall as a man,” said Yi.After clearing the weeds, the company began to teach locals farming skills.“We taught them how to drive tractors (拖拉机) and harvesters, and how to grow rice step by step including sowing seeds and spraying pesticide.”
周周练
Since 2000, when the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation started, an increasing number of Chinese companies and organizations have gone to Africa to work in the agriculture industry.“We bring in new techniques, equipment and high-quality seeds,” said Yi.
“Local people are happy that we are here because we not only help them solve food problems but also provide job opportunities,” said Yi.“Our farm can employ 500 to 1,000 local people.Their living conditions have been greatly improved in recent years.Some families have even bought televisions and fridges.”
周周练
“African people are just as hard-working as the Chinese and also want to pursue a better life.What they need is more opportunities, which China is now helping with.I'm proud of what my country is doing,” Yi said.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。自2000年中非合作论坛成立以来,越来越多的中国公司和组织前往非洲从事农业工作,为非洲人民提供帮助。

C
Picture a fish parading around on land, like a fearless explorer leaving the safety of its ocean home. These little creatures are incredible survivors as they can thrive in both water and on land, constantly switching between these two distinct environments. They do this thanks to their unique physical adaptations. You could even say they're the “multi-taskers” of the fish world. As can be seen from its name, mudskipper (弹涂鱼) is an animal that “skips on the mud”, which stands out in the animal kingdom as a real oddball.
周周练
Fossil evidence shows that mudskippers have been around for millions of years. They're like the living relics of an ancient era, adapted to swampy shores and mudflats. Over time, they've developed special features to help them live in these tough environments. They've traded the typical fish-only lifestyle and have learned to make the most of both worlds, much like a smart real-estate businessperson who diversifies their holdings between two different profitable markets. Mudskippers are truly small and peculiar, with eyes that stick out like periscopes (潜望镜), constantly surveying their surroundings. Their strong pectoral fins are like little legs that allow them to skip, hop, and even climb on mud and rocks.
周周练
During low tide, mudskippers emerge from the water to hunt for insects, shellfish, and small sea creatures, looking like tiny ninjas (忍者) on a secret mission. They set up territories and even do some complicated “dancing” to show dominance or to court a mate. None of the ordinary fish engage in such complex social behaviors on land.
周周练
Now, let's talk about their reproduction, lifespan, and the male mudskippers' parental responsibility. Female mudskippers lay eggs in holes, and then it's the males' turn to shine. The males serve as guards over the eggs with the devotion of a medieval knight protecting his kingdom. None of the average fish males take on such dedicated parental duties. The eggs develop over a period of time, and with a bit of luck, a new generation of mudskippers is born. These hardy fish can live up to several years, making their mark in the ever-changing intertidal zone(潮间带).
周周练
In some regions, mudskippers are caught and cooked in various ways, turning these adventurous little fish into a dietary delight. It's a harsh twist of fate for these little adventurers, who've mastered the art of living in two worlds, to face the appetites of humans. Despite this, mudskippers continue to be a fascinating part of our natural world.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了弹涂鱼这一独特生物以及面临被人类食用的现状,凸显其在自然界中的特殊性。
周周练
28.According to the passage, what is the feature of mudskippers?
A.They have tails acting like legs for balance.
B.Their sticking-out eyes serve as periscopes.
C.They can switch themselves on land or in ocean.
D.Their fossils are traded profitably on the market.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Picture a fish parading around on land...between these two distinct environments.”可知,弹涂鱼能在陆地和海洋中生活。

D.Mudskippers avoid interaction with others of their species.

Most people have no idea what to do with their old drugs. Unused or expired(到期的) medicines lying around at home can get into the wrong hands, leading to accidental poisoning or drug overdose. When drugs are flushed or sent to landfill, the medicines can pollute our groundwater, rivers, and streams, threatening human and sea life.
周周练
In an effort to find a solution for drugs kept in medicine boxes or waterways, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration launched its first National Take-Back Day in September 2010.In the drug take-back program, the returned drugs are sent to medical waste incinerators (焚烧炉). However, the process of transporting and burning such waste can release greenhouse gas emissions that could be potentially greater than those generated if the drugs were poured into landfills.
周周练
“But take-back programs are preferred as they reduce the risk of drug misuse and the incineration effectively eliminates the entrance of these medicines into our nation's waters,” says Tim Carroll, a spokesperson for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
周周练
Perhaps surprisingly, not all unused medicines need to be thrown away. Every year five billion dollars' worth of unexpired medicines end up being deserted in the U. S. “We're wasting a lot of medicines which are already paid for,” says Anandi Law, a patient engagement specialist. “Millions of U.S. adults skip or delay getting their prescriptions filled due to high costs. We could give them to somebody else who needs it.”
周周练
Now, at least 40 states have passed legislation establishing drug donation programs that allow drug manufacturers, medical and long-term care facilities, and sometimes individuals to donate their unused drugs. For example, since its start in 2007, Iowa's program, SafeNetRx, has served more than 117,000 patients and redistributed nearly 54-million-dollar worth of medicines and supplies. Georgia's program formally was launched in 2018, and it has already filled prescriptions worth over 50 million dollars.
周周练
“All of these efforts are still relatively new,” Carroll says. “We still have a long way to go until households change their habits.”

32.What disadvantage of the drug take-back program is mentioned in paragraph 2?
A.It costs large amounts of money.

解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“the process of transporting and burning such waste can release greenhouse gas emissions”可知,药品回收计划加重了温室效应。

Dear Editor,
I'm writing to share my opinions on whether we should study abroad. Different people have different opinions about it.
People who hold a positive attitude believe that studying abroad is a good way for students to improve themselves. Not only will they have a better language environment to study English, but they will also learn to live independently.
周周练
What's more, studying abroad can help students broaden their horizons and gain more knowledge about different cultures. However, other people have different opinions. They hold the view that studying abroad can cost an arm and a leg, which becomes a burden for some families. They also worry that students who study abroad may feel lonely and homesick.
周周练
As far as I'm concerned, studying abroad is not necessary. With the improvement of the educational environment in China, students can also receive education of high quality in our motherland.
Looking forward to your opinions.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I'd loved hip-hop dancing since my childhood, and in high school I took classes that focused on jazz and hip-hop. Dance was my favorite class, and I looked forward to going every day. And this year, my senior year, was going to be the best dance class yet. Moreover, there would be a showcase at our high-school theater at the end of the semester.
周周练
As I headed to the studio, my friend Jessica ran up to me, her face serious. “Sarah, have you heard?” she whispered. “We have a new teacher, Ms. Barton. And she is strictly focused on ballet.”
My excitement disappeared. Ballet? I'd never taken a class in my life. A strong feeling of anxiety formed in my stomach, but a part of me accepted the challenge. The studio I entered was transformed. Gone was the lively energy; in its place was a nervous silence. Every other girl wore tight black clothes and ballet shoes. Looking down at my baggy T-shirt and sports trousers, I felt like a complete outsider. I quickly changed, but still felt awkward and out of place.
周周练
Ms. Barton stood as straight as an arrow, her serious expression making the room feel cold. At the barre, she began calling out French terms—plié, tendu. I tried to copy the others, my movements feeling awkward and wrong. “Grand plié,” she ordered. I bent my knees, doing my best to copy the elegant position of the others. I thought I was doing okay, until the music suddenly stopped. Ms. Barton's sharp eyes were fixed on me.
周周练
“What is your name?” she asked, her voice cutting through the silence. “Sarah,” I replied, trying to manage a smile. “Class, I want everyone to watch Miss Sarah,” she announced. My heart jumped. Was she going to praise me? I took a deep breath and performed the grand plié again. Complete silence. Every eye was on me.
“Now, class,” Ms. Barton's voice rose, sharp and loud. “This is a perfect example of what NOT to do.” My face burned as if I'd been slammed (猛烈撞击).
注意:续写词数应为150左右。

I spent the rest of the day wondering if I should quit. _________________________________________________________

One possible version:
I spent the rest of the day wondering if I should quit. However, my love for dance wouldn't allow it. I would show something to that teacher. The empty studio became my second home. I practised day by day, week by week, and I was proud to say that I was still standing by the end of the semester. Ms. Barton seemed to tolerate my ballet and began to appreciate my hip-hop style. Soon came her surprising request: to design two hip-hop dances for the final performance.
周周练
Finally, there came the showcase at our high-school theater. My hands were shaking with nerves, but when the music began, my fear simply disappeared. I had the best time dancing to it and gave it my all, leaving our audience cheering and clapping. Afterwards, Ms. Barton announced the “Most Improved Dancer” award. I couldn't believe my ears when she called my name! As my friends cheered, I walked up to receive the award. With tears in my eyes, I smiled at Ms. Barton and said, “Thank you for challenging me.” I realized that this ballet journey had taught me the courage to embrace challenges.
