They did everything together, from sharing lunches to dreaming about their futures. Lily was active and loved exploring, while Maya was shy and liked quiet moments better. Their differences made their friendship strong. One Saturday, they decided to explore a small forest near their town. Maya wore a simple bracelet (手镯) that Lily had made for her last birthday. “It’s my lucky mark,” Maya always said. Deep in the forest, they found a beautiful, hidden stream. While playing near the water, Maya’s bracelet slipped off her hand without her noticing. It was only when they got home that Maya realized her bracelet was gone. Her eyes filled with tears. “It’s gone... your bracelet,” she said in a low voice, heartbroken. Lily gave her a hug (拥抱) at once. “Don’t worry. We’ll find it. I promise.” The next morning, Lily went back to the forest alone. She went back to their whole path the day before, carefully checking every place. The forest seemed bigger and quieter. After searching for nearly two hours, just as she was about to give up, she saw a flash of color near the stream. There it was, lying safely there. She picked it up and held it softly. Instead of returning the bracelet right away, Lily spent the afternoon making a new one, making two bracelets together with both of their favorite colors. That evening, she went to Maya’s house. “I have something for you,” Lily said. She first gave Maya the old bracelet. Then, she took out the new, connected pair. “This one is for us. So even if one gets lost, we’re still connected.” Maya smiled, wearing both bracelets. She knew it wasn’t just about the bracelet. It was about the effort, the promise, and the understanding that true friendship means you never let the other person feel helpless and lonely. ( ) 32．Why was Maya so sad about losing the bracelet? A．Because it was very expensive. B．Because it was from her best friend. C．Because it was a gift from her family. D．Because she was afraid of Lily’s anger. ( ) 33．What did Lily do when she learned the bracelet was lost? A．She was angry with Maya. B．She promised to help find it. C．She said it was not important. D．She bought a new one immediately. ( ) 34．Which is the right order of the following events? a. Maya lost her bracelet in the forest. b. Lily found the lost bracelet by the stream. c. Lily returned to their path to search alone. d. Lily made a new pair of connected bracelets. A．d-a-c-b B．a-b-d-c C．b-a-d-c D．a-c-b-d ( ) 35．What is the main message of the story? A．Exploring in the forest can be dangerous. B．Handmade gifts are better than bought ones. C．It’s important to be careful with your belongings (所有物). D．True friendship needs care, effort, and not letting the other feel alone. （C） Before you read this article, let’s take a look at the Chinese sentence on the right picture. Did you notice that some of the characters in the sentence are in the wrong order? You might not realize it, but you can read and understand it well, right? If you didn’t catch it right away, you’re not alone. This is known as “typoglycemia”, where people can still understand disordered words as long as the first and last letters (or characters) are in place. When we’re first learning how to read, we read word by word. But after we become more experienced, we read in full phrases and even sentences. People can read five to six words at one time, Also, as experienced readers, we take the things we’re familiar with for granted (理所当然). We don’t pay as much attention to small details (细节). When we read something we’re familiar with, we may think all the words are in the right order. This is like when meeting a person with long hair, we think the person is a girl without taking a closer look. ★ . For example, you might still understand “belive” as “believe” or “tihs” as “this” at a quick look. It is believed that humans remember the meanings of words mostly by their shape and layout (布局), rather than the order of the letters. However, we cannot read disordered sentences as quickly as we read normal texts. In short, our brains are amazing, but they can be a little lazy when dealing with words! ( ) 36．Why does the writer mention the Chinese sentence at the beginning? A．To test readers’ Chinese level. B．To explain language rules. C．To build reader’s national pride. D．To raise readers’ interest in the topic. ( ) 37．What is “typoglycemia”? A．The skill to read very fast. B．The illness that makes reading difficult. C．The ability to read disordered sentences. D．The problem of forgetting words easily. ( ) 38．Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A．This also works with English words B．This problem is hard to solve C．We should check spellings carefully D．All languages have the same rule ( ) 39．According to paragraph 3, how can people remember words better? A．By reading word by word. B．By making word cards. C．By writing words again and again. D．By reading word groups. ( ) 40．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How we can read quickly and correctly. B．Letter order is not important in reading. C．Why we can still read disordered words. D．Experience makes reading more exciting. 三、完型填空（10分） Imagine this: You are standing in front of a huge building.

In September, 2023, he broke the Guinness (吉尼斯) World Record for the most single skips (跳绳) in one minute, with a result of 374. The record had stood unbroken for ten years. Daisuke Mimura from Japan held it with 348 skips in 2013. Interestingly, Zhou's new record is not even his personal best. "My best performance was 396 times in one minute. That was done in the 2nd Primary and Secondary School Students' rope skipping Championship in 2020. My coach said I had already broken the world record. It was at that time that I made up my mind to apply for the Guinness World Record," Zhou said. However, the road to success was far from smooth. For years, Zhou practised with a special steel rope designed for competition. It's light and strong. But because of the rope he used, his first Guinness application was considered invalid (无效). After online communication with the records management team, Zhou quickly changed to a common rope recognized (认证) by the Guinness World Records. He soon got used to it. Whatever kind of rope Zhou used, his strict training kept him in good sporting condition. Zhou has been in the school rope skipping team for seven years. He has jumped rope for about four hours each day. He would also run around the playground to improve his physical strength. Now as a high school student, Zhou said he'll put his studies first. But he won't stop training and still hopes to beat his own record one day. 71.
