D. 50 yuan. 20. The instructions are most probably from ________. A. a farm owner B. a teacher C. a news reporter D. a customer B I was a shy girl when I was in school. I often stayed quiet during classes. Every time a teacher asked me a question, my voice would tremble (颤抖) and I would speak as little as possible. I’d then stay in my seat, feeling smaller and smaller, and wait quietly until the class was over. This situation continued through my middle school years and into grade 10. As time passed by, I felt more and more sad and lost. I even started to think that maybe I was meant to just be shy and unnoticed. Everyone else would have fun, but not me. Just before starting grade 11, I complained (抱怨) to my sister about how I was feeling. “I am so bored.” She replied, “It’s your fault. Do something!” I always knew I wanted to belong to a group and I understood that I had to start somewhere. Speaking up seemed like the first step I had to take. One day, we had a small group discussion in class and I pulled all my courage together to share my ideas with everyone. Little by little, it started to have an effect (影响) and my classmates recognized my presence. Sometimes, they even replied to what I was saying. Suddenly, I felt I was part of the discussion. This is how I started to make friends- friends who liked to hear what I had to say. I finally felt accepted. Finding my voice was hard, but it helped me find the strength to be the person I wanted to be. Now that I’m older, I can easily say this has made all the difference. 21. The writer describes her school experience in Paragraph 1 to show ________. A. she didn’t like school B. she spoke a lot in class C. she was too shy to speak up D. she was not popular at school 22. What did the writer’s sister advise her to do? A. Stop complaining to others. B. Learn to do things on her own. C. Avoid making mistakes at school. D. Take steps to change her situation. 23. How did “my” feeling change? The correct order is ________. ①I felt accepted.②I complained I was bored.③I was proud to change myself. ④I was confident in the discussion.⑤I felt sad and lost A. ⑤②①③④ B. ⑤②④①③ C. ⑤②③④① D. ⑤③②④① 24. What does the underlined word “this” in the last sentence probably refer to? A. finding one’s voice and its effect B. being healthy and strong C. growing older and older D. becoming one’s model 25. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Growing Older Can Be Better B. Solving Problems in Discussions C. Each Coin Has Two Sides D. Beating Shyness Makes a Difference C Police dogs can help police officers find dangerous things or even missing people. But how do they learn to do their jobs? First, they need to learn how to sniff out (嗅出) trouble. Second, they must learn to communicate with their human partners. It takes some time to learn the skills. Do police dogs have to be tall and strong? Well, in Weifang, Shandong Province, a cute corgi Fu Zai, whose name means “lucky boy”, has become China’s first corgi police dog! With a lovely smile and short legs, he quickly got popular on the Internet. Fu Zai was born in 2023. When Fu Zai was just one month old, his owner took him to a park to play. There, a police dog trainer noticed Fu Zai. He found Fu Zai was not only cute but also had some good qualities (特质) for a police dog. After considering carefully, the owner agreed to send Fu Zai to the police dog training base. Fu Zai practiced hard every day. There were many skills he needed to learn and he learned quickly. After about a year of strict training, Fu Zai officially became a police dog. Many people might think that “short-legged” dogs couldn’t become police dogs. However, Fu Zai changed their ideas. In fact, his short legs allow him to easily get into and search narrow spaces. We believe that Fu Zai will become an excellent police dog in the future. 26. What can police dogs do? ①find dangerous things ②sniff out trouble ③communicate with partners ④become a trainer A. ①②④ B. ①③④ C. ①②③ D. ②③④ 27. Why did the trainer choose Fu Zai as a police dog? A. Because he had talent. B. Because he could bring luck. C. Because he was popular online. D. Because his owner was a policewoman. 28. What is the main difference between Fu Zai and most police dogs? A. He needs to learn sniffing skills. B. His size helps search narrow spaces. C. He can communicate with humans. D. He requires long-term training. 29. What is the main idea of the third paragraph? A. Fu Zai’s popularity on the Internet. B. The importance of police dog training. C. The skills required for police dogs. D. How Fu Zai was discovered and trained. 30. According to the passage, we can know ________. A. corgis are smarter than other dog breeds B. police dogs must focus only on sniffing abilities C. body size is not the only standard for police dogs D. internet popularity is key to becoming a police dog 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项。（提示：每个选项只用一次，选项中有一项为多余选项） Artificial intelligence (AI, 人工智能) is growing rapidly. ____31____ It is a group of technologies that help machines get, understand and use information to do tasks. ____32____ Some people have welcomed AI because it makes things possible.

Through hard work and smart plans, large areas of deserts have been turned into green lands. One famous example is the Kubuqi Desert in Inner Mongolia. This success story shows how deserts can become useful lands. By planting special grasses and trees, people have fixed moving sand and increased forest coverage from 5% to 53% since 1988. Local farmers now grow fruits like grapes in this “green wall”, which also helps their income. Science and technology play key roles in this fight. The government has used both traditional and modern methods. In Ningxia, workers lay wheat straw (稻草) in checkerboard patterns (棋盘格) to hold sand. This low-cost sand-fixing technology is now used in 13 countries. Satellites and drones (无人机) help monitor plant growth across about 176 million hectares of protected land. More than 200 million people have joined tree-planting activities. Since 2000, China has reduced desert areas by over 2,000 square kilometers yearly—the fastest rate in the world. The “Great Green Wall” project aims to plant about 35 billion trees by 2050. China’s experience brings hope to other countries. These efforts not only improve the environment but also share knowledge globally. China has trained over 2,000 experts (专家) from Africa and the Middle East , showing that deserts can be changed into rich land with determination. 46.
