You can drink a cup of sweet tea while reading the books and messages on the wall which are nearly all about love stories inside Makky Ame. June 2nd Cloudy I never experienced “Love at First Sight” and felt that crazy feeling. But when I saw the Namjagbarwa, I knew what is the real so—called “Love at First Fight”. Yes, with just one look, you will think and dream about it all the time and don’t want to leave. June 3rd Sunny I’ve never seen a clearer blue lake than the Yamdrok.

He looked at the gold and silver. “The world is tricked by appearances,” he said. “People often hide ordinary things with beautiful gold, silver, and jewels. People always agree with those who speak well, even if they say foolish things. Many people who seem brave are really cowards. How often do we believe in leaders who turn out to be bad?” Then Bassanio remembered the story of Midas, the man who loved gold too much. He wanted everything to be gold. He wished that he could make everything gold just by touching it. When he could, it was a disaster. He could not eat his golden food, and he was afraid to touch his daughter. “No, I do not want these beautiful boxes of gold and silver. I will choose the lead box with its ordinary color. It speaks more to me than all the gold and silver in the world. Please give me the key to the lead box. Let happiness be mine.” Bassanio said to himself. One of the servants gave him the key, and he went to the box and opened it. Portia was very pleased. She could not believe it, until Bassanio opened the box and saw the picture of Portia inside it. When he saw the picture, he loved her even more because the picture was very beautiful. He wondered how anyone could paint such a good picture of her. It was almost as beautiful as Portia herself. He looked at all the parts of the picture. He looked at the eyes and the hair and the eyes. All of them were perfect. But Portia herself was even more beautiful than her picture. The writing inside the box told him that he had chosen the right box. It said that he should go to Portia and look into her eyes. She would be his wife. Bassanio could not believe it. “Is it really true?” he asked.“Will you really be my wife? I am afraid to believe it until you say so.” 34. What may “cowards” do when they face the difficulties? A. Find out ways to solve them. B. Show fear and give up. C. Ask others for help. D. Hand in the problems to others. 35. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. There was nothing but a picture in the lead box. B. The servants stopped Bassanio choosing the lead box. C. Bassanio thought the picture was more beautiful than Portia. D.

Many hands make light work. C. Don’t judge a book by its cover. D. It never rains but pours. 37. What may be the best title of the passage? A. Bassanio and the lead box B. Portia and her picture C. The things in the boxes D. Tricks by appearances 【答案】34. B 35. D 36. C 37. A 【解析】 【导语】本文改编自《威尼斯商人》中的一段，主要介绍了Bassanio选择盒子，他选择了铅盒子而不是金盒子和银盒子，事实证明他选对了，他可以和Portia结婚。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Many people who seem brave are really cowards.”和“He could not eat his golden food, and he was afraid to touch his daughter.”可以推出“cowards”表示“懦夫”，所以面对困难时会表现出恐惧和想放弃。故选B。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Bassanio could not believe it. ‘Is it really true?’ he asked. ‘Will you really be my wife? I am afraid to believe it until you say so.’”可知，Bassanio读完盒子里的字迹后激动得不敢相信自己。故选D。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据“‘The world is tricked by appearances,’”以及下文可知，通过Bassanio的选择，我们可以学到遇到事情时，不要被表象所欺骗。故选C。 【37题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“Bassanio looked at the three boxes, but he did not read the writing on them. He looked at the gold and silver.”以及下文的介绍可知，Bassanio选择正确的铅盒子，他可以和Portia结婚。选项A“Bassanio和铅盒”符合语境。故选A。 C International E-waste Day takes place every year on October 14. It’s a day to draw people’s attention to the problems of electronic (电子的) waste. In 2023, it called on people to care about “invisible” e-waste—things most people don’t think of as electronics. Electronic waste, or e-waste, is the name given to old electronic devices (设备) that get thrown away. These can include old computers, phones, TVs, as well as all kinds of other electronic devices. E-waste is a big problem. Though electronics can make life easier and more pleasant, the devices aren’t easy on the environment. As newer and better devices come out, lots of electronics are thrown away instead of being recycled. These things often end up in landfills, while the chemicals inside them may be a danger to the environment. Electronics can have dangerous materials like lead (铅) or mercury (汞). If these materials get into the ground or water, the pollution can cause serious problems. A group known as WEEE asked researchers from the United Nations to study a kind of e-waste that was often not noticed. The WEEE calls this type “invisible” e-waste. The UN study shows that all the 61 million tons of e-waste in a year, about 1/6 is “invisible”, and that the value of this unseen waste is worth about $ 9.5 billion a year. The surprising type leading the invisible e-waste group is toys. Worldwide, about 7.3 billion electronic toys are thrown away each year. These include toys like car racing sets, electric trains, musical toys and so on. In all, toys make up about 35% of the invisible e-waste. But the problem is far larger than just toys. The UN report shows that other everyday things like home alarms, smoke alarms, power tools are also big sources of invisible e-waste. The report says that 36% of the world’s invisible e-waste comes from these types. Nowadays, more and more people get to know about the harm of e-waste, and they will devote more to getting electronics reused or recycled. 38. Why is e-waste a big problem? A. Because it’s difficult to collect it. B. Because it’s too bad for the environment. C. Because it takes up too much space. D. Because it costs people too much money. 39. How many tons of invisible e-waste are there in a year? A. About 7.3 million tons. B. About 60 million tons. C. About 6 million tons. D. About 10 million tons. 40. What can we learn from the passage? A. Few people will pay attention to invisible e-waste. B. More invisible e-waste will be thrown away everywhere. C. More landfills will be built to deal with invisible e-waste. D. More actions will be taken to reduce the harm of e-waste. 41. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To draw attention to invisible e-waste. B. To explain the meaning of invisible e-waste. C. To ask people to use fewer. D. To tell the purpose of International E-Waste. 【答案】38. B 39. D 40. D 41. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了国际电子垃圾日的重点——不可见电子垃圾，通过说明电子垃圾对环境的危害，引起人们对这类垃圾的关注。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“E-waste is a big problem. Though electronics can make life easier and more pleasant, the devices aren’t easy on the environment.”可知，电子垃圾是一个大问题的原因是因为这对环境危害很大。故选B。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The UN study shows that all the 61 million tons of e-waste in a year, about 1/6 is ‘invisible’”可知，一年内6100万吨的电子垃圾中，约有六分之一是不可见电子垃圾，即大约1000万吨。故选D。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Nowadays, more and more people get to know about the harm of e-waste, and they will devote more to getting electronics reused or recycled.”可知，越来越多的人开始了解电子垃圾的危害，他们将采取更多行动减少电子垃圾的危害。故选D。 【41题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了国际电子垃圾日的重点——不可见电子垃圾，通过说明电子垃圾对环境的危害，引起人们对这类垃圾的关注，A项符合。故选A。 D Very often, when we see young people sitting there, looking at the screen of a mobile phone and smiling, we may think nothing is wrong. But when we come to the question “How much time do they actually spend on media (传播媒介) daily?”, the answer is surprising: young people spend about nine hours every day using media, and this only includes media used for enjoyment. Today’s young people seem to have become crazy multi-taskers. They often use media when doing other activities. Some watch TV when doing homework, some text (发短信), and some others listen to music. But what do young people think of this? A research showed that two thirds of them believed watching TV or texting had no influence on their schoolwork. Half of them thought using social media made no difference. However, researches have given a different answer: “media multi-taskers” did worse in tests. Scientists did a research among more than 400 students. It shows that those who text a lot have more trouble sleeping and do worse in their study. In another research, students who didn’t text during a lesson took down a lot more notes than those who were texting. A similar research also found that students who texted when doing schoolwork had lower grades. According to a research, if a kid uses social media a lot, especially at night, he or she will sleep worse and feel more nervous and depressed (消沉的). On the one hand, young people stay up late to check messages and information. They may also be woken up by messages they receive. On the other hand, even the light from a screen could influence their sleep. Some other researches also show that children who use media at night go to bed later, get fewer hours of sleep each week, and become sleepy more easily during the daytime. 42. According to the article, young people use media for about ___________ every week. A. 55 hours B. 65 hours C. 75 hours D. 85 hours 43. The underlined word “multi-taskers” in Paragraph 2 refers to people who __________. A. ask a lot of questions B. use different media for learning C. have several mobile phones D. do several tasks at the same time 44. Which of the following statements about using media is TRUE? A. People only use media for enjoyment. B. Most multi-taskers believed it had a bad influence on them. C. The results of researches on it are different from young people’s thoughts. D. Students like to use media to help take more notes during a lesson. 45. What is the article mainly about? A. Social media is very popular among young people. B. Using media too much has a bad influence on young people. C. The use of social media has both advantages and disadvantages. D. Mobile phones are the main tools students use for school learning. 【答案】42. B 43. D 44. C 45. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述年轻人每天约花9小时使用娱乐媒体，常同时处理多项任务（如边写作业边看电视），但研究表明这种多任务处理会降低学习效率、影响睡眠和情绪。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“young people spend about nine hours every day using media”可知，年轻人每天使用媒体约9小时，每周约63小时（9×7），最接近65小时，故选B。 【43题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“They often use media when doing other activities…watch TV when doing homework, text, listen to music”可知，“multi-taskers”指同时处理多项任务的人，故选D。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据“two thirds of them believed…had no influence…However, researches…did worse in tests”可知，研究结果与年轻人的看法不同，故选C。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。全文通过研究数据说明过度使用媒体对年轻人的学习、睡眠和情绪有负面影响，故选B。 四、任务型阅读 阅读短文，按要求回答问题。 Chinese people like the red colour a lot. Even now, Chinese people like to call ourselves Chizi, meaning the red descendant (子孙). Red represents the motherland and authority (权威). Official uniforms of the Tang dynasty were red. In the Qing dynasty, red was used on official caps to show different rankings (等级). As we know, the Five-starred Red Flag was first raised on October 1st, 1949. Even nowadays, headlines of official documents (文件) are painted in red. This is why they are called red-head documents. For ordinary people, red stands for happiness. For example, “double happiness” used for weddings is red. The bride (新娘) wears red clothes which are different from the white gowns of the West. During the Chinese Spring Festival, people will give red packets to the children to express good wishes. Couplets (对联) hanging on both sides of the doors are written in red. The word red equals beauty. The expression hongyan, meaning red colour, is a synonym (代名词) of a beautiful girl. Red is also one of the most popular words used in the names of Chinese women. But in traffic lights, red means stop driving. This is how the Westerners like to use the red colour. It is because red is very bright, and is good for warning purposes. But it doesn’t really have any negative (负面的) meanings. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过5个词。 46. What does Chizi mean? ___________________________________________________________ 47. When was the Five-starred Red Flag first raised? ___________________________________________________________ 48. What are official documents called when the headlines are painted in red? ___________________________________________________________ 49. Why will people give red packets to the children? ___________________________________________________________ 50.

It represents happiness./Wonderful. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了红色在中国文化中的意义，同时也介绍了西方人使用红色的原因。 【46题详解】 根据“Even now, Chinese people like to call ourselves Chizi, meaning the red descendant (子孙).”可知Chizi的意思是炎黄子孙。故填The red descendant. 【47题详解】 根据“As we know, the Five-starred Red Flag was first raised on October 1st, 1949.”可知五星红旗第一次升起是在1949年10月1日。故填On October 1st, 1949. 【48题详解】 根据“Even nowadays, headlines of official documents (文件) are painted in red. This is why they are called red-head documents.”可知官方文件标题涂成红色时被称为红头文件。故填Red-head documents. 【49题详解】 根据“During the Chinese Spring Festival, people will give red packets to the children to express good wishes.”可知人们给孩子红包是为了表达美好祝愿。故填To express good wishes. 【50题详解】 开放性试题，言之有理即可。故填It represents happiness./Wonderful. 五、短文填空 在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号中所给单词的正确形式填空，使短文内容完整、正确。 Many studies show there is a relationship b____51____ colours and moods.

Here are some suggestions for you. First, you can make a detailed revision plan for Maths. Focus on the topics you are not good at and practice related exercises every day. If you meet difficult problems, don’t be afraid to ask your Maths teacher or classmates for help. They will be willing to explain them to you. Also, taking mock Maths tests regularly can help you get used to the test format and reduce anxiety. For your sports problems, being a bit fat and disliking morning exercises is totally normal, but sports are important for your health. You can start with simple sports that you may enjoy, like walking or jogging after class. Gradually increase the intensity and time. You can also ask a friend to do sports with you, which will make it more fun. As for morning exercises, try to think of them as a way to wake up your body and start the day with energy. Even if you don’t like them at first, sticking to them may help you find the fun. I believe with these methods, you can deal with your problems and become more relaxed.

June 1st Sunny The Barkhor Street, (the Bajiao Street), has a history of more than 1,300 years. It is the busiest street in Lhasa. You can drink a cup of sweet tea while reading the books and messages on the wall which are nearly all about love stories inside Makky Ame. June 2nd Cloudy I never experienced “Love at First Sight” and felt that crazy feeling. But when I saw the Namjagbarwa, I knew what is the real so—called “Love at First Fight”. Yes, with just one look, you will think and dream about it all the time and don’t want to leave. June 3rd Sunny I’ve never seen a clearer blue lake than the Yamdrok.

B Bassanio looked at the three boxes, but he did not read the writing on them. He looked at the gold and silver. “The world is tricked by appearances,” he said. “People often hide ordinary things with beautiful gold, silver, and jewels. People always agree with those who speak well, even if they say foolish things. Many people who seem brave are really cowards. How often do we believe in leaders who turn out to be bad?” Then Bassanio remembered the story of Midas, the man who loved gold too much. He wanted everything to be gold. He wished that he could make everything gold just by touching it. When he could, it was a disaster. He could not eat his golden food, and he was afraid to touch his daughter. “No, I do not want these beautiful boxes of gold and silver. I will choose the lead box with its ordinary color. It speaks more to me than all the gold and silver in the world. Please give me the key to the lead box. Let happiness be mine.” Bassanio said to himself. One of the servants gave him the key, and he went to the box and opened it. Portia was very pleased. She could not believe it, until Bassanio opened the box and saw the picture of Portia inside it. When he saw the picture, he loved her even more because the picture was very beautiful. He wondered how anyone could paint such a good picture of her. It was almost as beautiful as Portia herself. He looked at all the parts of the picture. He looked at the eyes and the hair and the eyes. All of them were perfect. But Portia herself was even more beautiful than her picture. The writing inside the box told him that he had chosen the right box. It said that he should go to Portia and look into her eyes. She would be his wife. Bassanio could not believe it. “Is it really true?” he asked.“Will you really be my wife? I am afraid to believe it until you say so.” 34. What may “cowards” do when they face the difficulties? A. Find out ways to solve them. B. Show fear and give up. C. Ask others for help. D. Hand in the problems to others. 35. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. There was nothing but a picture in the lead box. B. The servants stopped Bassanio choosing the lead box. C. Bassanio thought the picture was more beautiful than Portia. D. Bassanio was too excited to believe himself after reading the writing. 36. What lesson can we learn from Bassanio’s choice of the lead box? A. The grass is greener on the other side. B. Many hands make light work. C. Don’t judge a book by its cover. D. It never rains but pours. 37. What may be the best title of the passage? A. Bassanio and the lead box B. Portia and her picture C. The things in the boxes D. Tricks by appearances C International E-waste Day takes place every year on October 14. It’s a day to draw people’s attention to the problems of electronic (电子的) waste. In 2023, it called on people to care about “invisible” e-waste—things most people don’t think of as electronics. Electronic waste, or e-waste, is the name given to old electronic devices (设备) that get thrown away. These can include old computers, phones, TVs, as well as all kinds of other electronic devices. E-waste is a big problem. Though electronics can make life easier and more pleasant, the devices aren’t easy on the environment. As newer and better devices come out, lots of electronics are thrown away instead of being recycled. These things often end up in landfills, while the chemicals inside them may be a danger to the environment. Electronics can have dangerous materials like lead (铅) or mercury (汞). If these materials get into the ground or water, the pollution can cause serious problems. A group known as WEEE asked researchers from the United Nations to study a kind of e-waste that was often not noticed. The WEEE calls this type “invisible” e-waste. The UN study shows that all the 61 million tons of e-waste in a year, about 1/6 is “invisible”, and that the value of this unseen waste is worth about $ 9.5 billion a year. The surprising type leading the invisible e-waste group is toys. Worldwide, about 7.3 billion electronic toys are thrown away each year. These include toys like car racing sets, electric trains, musical toys and so on. In all, toys make up about 35% of the invisible e-waste. But the problem is far larger than just toys. The UN report shows that other everyday things like home alarms, smoke alarms, power tools are also big sources of invisible e-waste. The report says that 36% of the world’s invisible e-waste comes from these types. Nowadays, more and more people get to know about the harm of e-waste, and they will devote more to getting electronics reused or recycled. 38. Why is e-waste a big problem? A. Because it’s difficult to collect it. B. Because it’s too bad for the environment. C. Because it takes up too much space. D. Because it costs people too much money. 39. How many tons of invisible e-waste are there in a year? A. About 7.3 million tons. B. About 60 million tons. C. About 6 million tons. D. About 10 million tons. 40. What can we learn from the passage? A. Few people will pay attention to invisible e-waste. B. More invisible e-waste will be thrown away everywhere. C. More landfills will be built to deal with invisible e-waste. D. More actions will be taken to reduce the harm of e-waste. 41. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To draw attention to invisible e-waste. B. To explain the meaning of invisible e-waste. C. To ask people to use fewer. D. To tell the purpose of International E-Waste. D Very often, when we see young people sitting there, looking at the screen of a mobile phone and smiling, we may think nothing is wrong. But when we come to the question “How much time do they actually spend on media (传播媒介) daily?”, the answer is surprising: young people spend about nine hours every day using media, and this only includes media used for enjoyment. Today’s young people seem to have become crazy multi-taskers. They often use media when doing other activities. Some watch TV when doing homework, some text (发短信), and some others listen to music. But what do young people think of this? A research showed that two thirds of them believed watching TV or texting had no influence on their schoolwork. Half of them thought using social media made no difference. However, researches have given a different answer: “media multi-taskers” did worse in tests. Scientists did a research among more than 400 students. It shows that those who text a lot have more trouble sleeping and do worse in their study. In another research, students who didn’t text during a lesson took down a lot more notes than those who were texting. A similar research also found that students who texted when doing schoolwork had lower grades. According to a research, if a kid uses social media a lot, especially at night, he or she will sleep worse and feel more nervous and depressed (消沉的). On the one hand, young people stay up late to check messages and information. They may also be woken up by messages they receive. On the other hand, even the light from a screen could influence their sleep. Some other researches also show that children who use media at night go to bed later, get fewer hours of sleep each week, and become sleepy more easily during the daytime. 42. According to the article, young people use media for about ___________ every week. A. 55 hours B. 65 hours C. 75 hours D. 85 hours 43. The underlined word “multi-taskers” in Paragraph 2 refers to people who __________. A. ask a lot of questions B. use different media for learning C. have several mobile phones D. do several tasks at the same time 44. Which of the following statements about using media is TRUE? A. People only use media for enjoyment. B. Most multi-taskers believed it had a bad influence on them. C. The results of researches on it are different from young people’s thoughts. D. Students like to use media to help take more notes during a lesson. 45. What is the article mainly about? A. Social media is very popular among young people. B. Using media too much has a bad influence on young people. C. The use of social media has both advantages and disadvantages. D. Mobile phones are the main tools students use for school learning. 四、任务型阅读 阅读短文，按要求回答问题。 Chinese people like the red colour a lot. Even now, Chinese people like to call ourselves Chizi, meaning the red descendant (子孙). Red represents the motherland and authority (权威). Official uniforms of the Tang dynasty were red. In the Qing dynasty, red was used on official caps to show different rankings (等级). As we know, the Five-starred Red Flag was first raised on October 1st, 1949. Even nowadays, headlines of official documents (文件) are painted in red. This is why they are called red-head documents. For ordinary people, red stands for happiness. For example, “double happiness” used for weddings is red. The bride (新娘) wears red clothes which are different from the white gowns of the West. During the Chinese Spring Festival, people will give red packets to the children to express good wishes. Couplets (对联) hanging on both sides of the doors are written in red. The word red equals beauty. The expression hongyan, meaning red colour, is a synonym (代名词) of a beautiful girl. Red is also one of the most popular words used in the names of Chinese women. But in traffic lights, red means stop driving. This is how the Westerners like to use the red colour. It is because red is very bright, and is good for warning purposes. But it doesn’t really have any negative (负面的) meanings. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过5个词。 46. What does Chizi mean? ___________________________________________________________ 47. When was the Five-starred Red Flag first raised? ___________________________________________________________ 48. What are official documents called when the headlines are painted in red? ___________________________________________________________ 49.
