He knew the young man could give him only three dollars because the hotel was not far from the railway station. But suddenly, he had an idea. He took the passenger through many streets of the big city.After a long time, the car arrived at the hotel at last. “You should pay me fifteen dollars,” the driver said to the young man. “What?

She climbed a mountain.For eight days in May, Minnal hiked nearly 100 kilometres to reach the 5364-metre-high Everest(珠穆朗玛峰) base camp in Nepal. The girl talked about her special trip, “I think this was a meaningful climb for me.” Minnal has to wait for some years to climb the Everest because climbers have to be at least sixteen years to climb the peak.How did it all start? It all began last year when Minnal’s mother decided she might want to climb the famous Himalayas. As a good hiker, she asked both father and daughter if they were up for the challenge(挑战）.This year, on 20 May, the family flew to Nepal.Minnal told that most of the eight days were spent hiking ten to fifteen kilometres from 8a.m. to 6 p.m. each day.

We do love them, but are they good students? And what makes a good student?Most people in China think about that getting good grades is important to a student. So, to someone, being a model student means being a top student in studies in the class. “A good student should always get good grades. Xia Xue is a much better student than her brother, Liu Xing,” says Wang Lin, a student from Wuxi in Jiangsu Province.However, a student’s personality is more important than being a model student.Many students think it is a bad idea to judge(评判) a student only by his or her grades.

But no one knew that the vegetables and the tree dislik ed each other. The vegetables hated the tree’s shadow (阴影), because it left them only just enough light to live. The tree, on the other hand, hated the vegetables because they drank nearly all the water, leaving him just enough to live.It became so serious that the vegetables decided to use up all the water in the ground so that the tree would die. The tree answered back by not protecting the vegetables from the hot sun, so they began to dry up. Soon the vegetables were really weak, and the tree was drying up.The gardener wondered why and and stopped watering them. When he did that, both the tree and the vegetables realized(意识到）that it was better to help each other. They learned how to live in harmony with those around them. So they decided to work together, using both the shade and the water to grow well. After seeing how well they were doing, the gardener gave the best care to the vegetable patch, watering and fertilizing(施肥）it better than any other patch for miles around.

But that’s not true. There are many interesting stories in the paper. You just need to make clear what you are looking at. “I spend about half an hour reading newspapers every day,” said 15-year-old Gao Ming from Beijing.“I’m interested in things happening at school.” School news is just one kind of news story in newspapers. There’s also world news: from international (国际的)problems to pop stars.Read the newspaper carefully, and we’ll find different kinds of article on the pages:News stories---these stories are about events(事件). Reporters try to show all points of a story to help readers understand what happened. Reporters try to speak to as many people as possible. They also use pictures and numbers to show the readers that the stories are true. The newspaper Teenagers has lots of news stories on the news page and front page. When we read them, we learn more about the facts, not the writers’ ideas.Opinion writing---opinion writing is usually about something happening right now. But it isn’t just facts. Here writers add(增加)their own opinions to the news. Writers pick only the facts that help back their ideas. They make readers believe that they are telling the truth(真相). This is usually the kind of story that gets people thinking. Go to“Speak Out”on Page Two for an example of opinion writing in Teenagers.Advertisement---Don’t get happy too early when you read them. Those s weet words and lovely pictures are just ways to get us interested in their products(产品)! People have to pay to put advertisements in newspapers!49.The underlined sentence “You just need to make clear what you are looking at.” means that the readers“____”.A. should understand interesting news storiesB. should know which kind of things to readC. need to read the school news firstD. must know the contents(内容)of all the news50.

It was Mr Zimmerman , the elderly man who walked with a walking stick . His car was out of gas(汽油).“I’d like to help Mr Zimmerman,” thought Jane ,“but if I do , I won’t have time to do my homework.” She hated to think what Mr Robert would say if she didn’t finish papers.“It’s his own fault(错误)for running out of gas,” Jane talked to herself. “The station is only a half mile down the street .

The last word in each of the lines of a poem does not have to have a rhyming sound. But many of them do. Two lines of poetry(诗歌)that rhyme with each other at the end are called a rhyming couplet(对句).Writing rhyming poetry can be difficult because you need to choose words that not only rhyme, but have meaning too. Even though some poems are short, you have to think extra long about which words to choose. Here is an example of a short poem.He was only a bug, but he was the king.She smiled at him when he gave her a ring.He forgot to be careful of one little thing.His queen was a bee, and she could sting.( )46 .What does it mean when two words rhyme?A.They must have the same meaning.B.

Jo is easy to get angry. One of her challenges(挑战) in the growing up is to control （控制）her anger. Laurie enjoys his neighbors, joining the family often in play.

At home you probably do a few simple chores, like washing the dishes or making your bed. You might complain about not having enough free time to relax.In the past, children of your age probably had a little more to complain about. Throughout much of history, many didn't go to school because they had to help all day at home or on the farm. Their parents taught them what they knew, but very few adults（成年人）could read or write. The Aztec people, who lived from 1200 to 1473 in present-day Mexico, were special. The Aztecs believed that education, or learning, was important. Every child went to school, although boys and girls learned different things.In the nineteenth century, many people began moving into cities to find jobs . In cities there was no longer a need to have children work on the farm. So instead they began working in factories. In England many children worked long hours six days a week. And they earned（挣）as little as a penny a day-that's less than fifty cents in today' money! Children started working from a very young age, sometimes at only five or six years old. They gave all of their money to their parents to help pay for the family's needs.Today most children go to school. Sometimes teenagers work part-time jobs to earn money. But many use t hat money for enjoyment, not to help their families. Think about it! Even if（即使）you work and go to school, you still have time to relax or hang out with your friends. Next to your peers（同龄人）from the past, you have it pretty easy!52. The underlined word "they" in paragraph 2 refers to______________.A. teachersB. childrenC. The Aztec peopleD. parents53. According to the passage, what did children do with the money they made?A. They bought anything they liked.B. They paid for their school's needs.C. They helped to support their families.D.

Today teenagers should love their lives and complain less.C. Today teenagers should often have a good time with their friends.D. Today teenagers should use that money they earned to help their families.55. The passage mainly tells us that_____________________.A. Children's lives have changed with the development of society.B. For the Aztec people, boys and girls l earned different things at school.C. Many children in England earned much money in the nineteenth century.D. People were poor so they couldn't send their children to school in the past.46-48 CAB 49-51 DCB 52-55 DCBAASometimes...Sometimes I feel lonely,Like I’m by myself wi th no one here.When I’m that way, I call a friend.My lonely moods(心情) soon disappear (消失).Sometimes I feel excited,Like I have some news I have to share!My friends open their ears to me.They always listen, talk, and care.Sometimes I feel so sad,Like my world is cold and darkest blue.At those times my friends let me knowThey’re with me, standing strong and true.Sometimes I feel mixed-up,Like I just don’t know how I should feel.My friends then help me figure out.What’s right and wrong, what’s f alse and real!1.

He was making his first trip to Texas and happened to sit next to a man from Texas in the plane. The Texan spent a lot of time telling him how everything is bigger and better in Texas. When the blind man reached a large hotel, he was very excited about being in Texas.The long trip made him very tired so he decided to stop at the bar for a small drink and a light snack before going up to his room to change his clothes. When the waitress set down his drink, it was in a big cup. “Wow, I hear everything in Texas is bigger,” he told her.“That’s right,” she answered. The blind man ate his snack and finished his drink. After drinking so much, he wanted to go to the restroom (厕所). He asked the waitress where it was. She told him to turn left at the register (登记处) and it would be the second door on the right.He reached the first door and continued down the hall. A few steps later he stumbled (绊脚) and missed the second door and went through the 3rd door instead. Not knowing he went to the swimming area, he walked forward (向前) and fell into the swimming pool.Remembering everything he heard about things being bigger in Texas, as soon as he had his head abo ve water, he started shouting, “Don’t flush (冲洗)!

We usually need to set passwords (密码) when we use the computers. But not all the passwords are safe. We should learn how to make safe passwords.How can you make your passwords safe? Experts have some tips for you. You’d better remember the tips because they are useful. Here are some tips.First, make your password out of capital letters. It will be difficult for others to get into your account (账户). It only takes a hacker (黑客) 10 minutes to work out a six-letter password made of small letters. But the same password in capital letters takes 10 hours to work out.Second, add numbers or symbols (符号) to your password. It may be much safer. Sometimes such passwords are not easy to remember, but they are really safe.Third, never use personal information for passwords and use different passwords for different accounts. Experts say that a user should change his passwords about every 90 days. In that way, hackers won’t guess your passwords.7. The underlined word “them” refers to “___________________”.A. the passwordsB. computers and the InternetC. the capital lettersD. the accounts8. You should change your passwords about ___________________.A. every 10 daysB. every monthC. every two monthsD. every three months9. According to the passage, which of the following is not a safe password?A. 891106.B. Liz287.C. LUCKY3.D. 432ac%.10. What’s the best title for the passage?A. Computers and the InternetB. Setting personal accountsC. Using capital lettersD. Making your passwords safe1-5 CBDBA 6-10 CBDADALong ago, there was an interesting man called Effendi (阿凡提), He had a good sense of humour. One day he played a joke on the Prime Minister (宰相). He said that the Minister would die the next day. Really the next day, the Minister fell off the horse and died. When the king learned this, he got angry and sent his men to catch Effendi at once.When Effendi was in front of the King, the king shouted angrily, “Effendi, since (既然) you know when my Minister would die, you must know the date of your own death. Say it out, or you will die today.” Effendi looked at the king for a while, he answered, “But how can I know? I’ll die two days earlier than you.” Because the king was afraid if he killed Effendi, he himself would die after that. He thought he must keep Effendi alive as long as he could, so he let Effendi go.（）1、The story tells us _______A. how Effendi fooled the kingB. when the king would dieC. why the Minister diedD.

The king was afraid of deathC. Effendi didn’t know when the king would dieD. If the king killed Effendi, he himself would die two days later.BIn nature, you may see many insects and animals of different colors. Have you ever wondered why?Locusts are super delicious food for birds, but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them. It is neither because locusts are good jumpers or runners nor because they are smarter than their enemies. The reason is that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops. When crops are young, locusts look green. But when autumn comes, locusts change to the yellow and brown color as crops do.Brown bears, tigers and other animals move quietly through forests. They can’t be seen easil y by their enemies(敌人). This is because they have colors similar to the trees. For the same reason, polar bears that live on a land of snow and ice are white. Butterflies and bees living among the flowers are colorful like flowers. Soil insects are mostly dark-color ed and they live under the soil(土壤）in a dark and wet environment（环境）. However, insects with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others. So in order to survive, they have to hide themselves in the daytime and appear only at night.Have you ever noticed some even stranger acts? The ink fish in the sea can send out some very black ink when it faces danger. As the ink spreads over（散开）, its enemies will find themselves suddenly in a dark world.

I don’t, either. And although I tell myself not to worry aboutthem, I always do! So I am not surprised that my students worry about them, too, even though they usually don’t need to. Because they are afraid of failing. However, since it is hard not to worry at all, we all must try not to worry too much. Why? Because worrying makes exams worse! How to do this?Ask the teacher about how to revise and about exam skills---- how to work when you are in the exam.Good students don’t wait until the week before an exam. They study all through the year. It is not possible to learn everything at the last minute. So don’t leave it till then!If you start planning and working for each exam early and you make sure that you understand what you are studying , then, when it is over, you’ll be able to say, “What a good exam that was!”Take a short rest during your time of work and revision(复习). If your mind is tired, it will not remember well. Work at the time when you know you will work at your best.If you are studying in the evening, don’t go straight to bed after wards. Your mind will still be “going round and round”----thinking that will relax you, and make you think of other things.If you feel bad, talk to someone about your worries. But don’t be too relaxed! Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them.( )7. Why are the students afraid of exams according to the passage?A. Because they are afraid of failing.B. Because they want to get full marks.C.

Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.No two people are just the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will make up and go on being friends.Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we call them and write to them. It could be that we would never see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many people are named after men or women who have been friendly to people in a t own. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.There is more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don’t. Why?It could be that they are happier.

"I'll be back in a moment, and if you need anything, just wave at me! "After he had finished a good meal, Mary brought him the change. She handed him hiscane, and walked with him to the front door.

It is called “City-as-School”. The name just means the city is the place where students learn their lessons. They are from the age of 15 to 18. The students choose areas of work they are interested in. Then they help to do that work. One girl spends her week in a Mayor’s(市长)office helping with problems like housing. Then she goes to help in a theatre for a day and she spends a week for first-year courses at college(大学).Well, students have to pass Maths and Science exams before they go into the “school”. These subjects are not easy to learn in “City-as-School”. Teachers watch the progress(进步)of thestudents. About 80% of the students can go to college after the “City-as-School”.The students like the duty of their work. They know a lot about different kinds of work in the city. Liz Martin, writes “I do not know where I will be right now if I never become part of City-as-School. Leaving the high school and then going to City-as-School is the best decision(决定)I make. The way is wonderful because the school gets you to go out there and learn different fields. If you are in between school and dropping out(退学), go to CAS and it will change your life forever.”( )46.What can we learn about “City-as-School”?A .It is good for students of all ages. B.

At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time.At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed (允许) to use it too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software (软件) that made “surfing” the Internet more convenient.Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students. The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people’s life.（）50.

Boy, I wish…” He hesitated(犹豫).Of course, Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?”“Oh yes, I’d love that.”After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Paul, would you mind （介意）driving in front of my house?”Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are? the boy asked．He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast.

His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent（美分）.

They enjoy it because it is fun. And they also say it helps them save money, too. What's more, they think it is a good way to protect the environment(环境). It is a kind of green life.In fact, DIY is not a modern thing in China. Many people remember when it was once a way of life in the past. During the 1960s and 1970s, when there were not enough living things for people to live on, they had to use their own hands to do many things. If you wanted something, you had to do it yourself, and if you needed something, you made it yourself.Times have changed and DIY also has different meanings.Yang Chen’s story It is 56 ▲for him to relax after work.He had the idea of DIY and soon became 57 ▲in it.DIY brings him 58 ▲fun and makes life colorful.What is DIY It is making or creating things by 59 ▲.60 ▲DIY is popular It is fun.

We also want to be liked by others, The following ways will make others like you.Do This and You’ll Be Welcome AnywhereBecome really interested in other people. A show of interest must be true. It must bring good results to the person showing the interest, but also to the person receiving the attention. It is a two-way street—both of you get an advantage(好处).A Simple Way to Make a Good First Impression (印象)Smile as often as possible. Your smile is a sign of kindness. When someone feels stressed from his or her teachers or parents, your smile is like the sun breaking through the clouds, your smile can help him or her think that all is hopeful—that there is still joy in the world.If You Don’t Do This, You Are Getting into TroubleRemember a person’s name. A person’s name is the sweetest and the most important sound in any language. We should realize the magic in a name. The name makes the person different from others; it makes him or her special among all others. If you remember a person’s name, the relationship between both of you will become much closer.An Easy Way to Become a Good TalkerBe a careful listener first. Ask questions that other persons will like to answer. Encourage (鼓励) them to talk about themselves and their achievements (成绩，成就). What you need to do is just to listen, because people are much more interested in themselves.Title: 56 to make people like youBecome really 57 in others ●Your show of interest must be true.●It must 58 good results to both of you.Smile as often as possible ●Your smile is a sign of 59 .●Your smile makes others 60 that all is hopeful.Remember a person’s name ●A person’s name makes him or her 61 from others.●A person’s name is the sweetest and the most important sound in any 62 .Listen 63 first●You ask questions that others enjoy 64 .●They are encouraged to talk about 65 and their achievements.66.

It reminds people not to wastefood and fight hunger.A number of people in the world still don’t have enough food to eat. The food shortage(短缺) is a big problem all over the world. Now, there are more than 1000 million hungry people in the world according to the UN. Many children go to sleep hungry, and 15 million of them die of hunger each year.There are several reasons for food shortage. First, there are more natural disasters. Also, a growing population(人口) makes feeding everyone more difficult.Another big reason is food waste. Most people don’t realize how much food they throw away every day. The average(平均的) person throws away 50kg of food every year. According to the UN, more than one third of all food goes to waste each year.Over 1,300 billion kilograms of food is wasted each year. The food wasted in Europe can feed 200 million people, while in Latin America 300 million a year.So think twice before you throw away food. You’d better order as much food as you can eat at a restaurant. If you can’t eat all, take the rest home. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it. Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy too much. Don’t cook too much.When you throw away food, you are not just wasting the food itself. Resources(资源), such as energy, time and water, are also wasted while growing and cooking. So everyone should know that it is important to save food. Saving food is saving ourselves.Title: Introduction to World Food DayThe UN’s purpose(目的) to start this dayTo remind people not to 56 food and fight hunger.Facts of food shortage ◆57 1,000 million people are hungry each year.◆15 million children 58 their lives because of hunger each year.◆There are more 60 disasters now.◆The number of people is becoming 61 .59 for foodshortage◆The problem of food waste is serious all over the world.62 to stop food waste ◆63 order more than you can eat at a restaurant.◆Take the rest of food home if you can’t eat all you’ve ordered.◆Be sure not to 64 more food at home than you need.Conclusion Everyone should know the 65 of saving food.56. waste 57.

Everybody in the United States uses this word again and again every day and everywhere. You pick up the phone and the first word you hear is “hello!” You meet a friend in the street and the first word you say is “hello!”Where did the word come from? The American inventor(发明家), Thomas Edison, was the first person to use “hello” in the late 18th century soon after the invention of the telephone.At first people greeted each other on the phone with “Are you there?” They were not sure the new thing could really carry voices.

The underlined word “simply” means ________.A. oftenB. easilyC. alwaysD. only(B)A wise man was visiting a village with his students. He found a group of family members shouting in anger at each other. He turned to his students and asked: “Why do people shout in anger at each other?”His students thought for a while, and one of them said: “Because when we lose our calm, we shout.”“But, why should you shout when the other person is just next to you? You can just as well tell him what you have to say in a soft manner,” said the wise man.Students gave some other answers but none were any good.“When two people are angry at each other, their hearts become distanced(疏远的),” the wise man explained. “To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the louder they will have to shout to hear each other and cover that great distance.”The wise man then gave an example: “What happens when two people fall in love? They don’t shout at each other but talk softly because their hearts are very close. When they love each other even more, what happens? They don’t need to talk. They only look at each other and that’s all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.”He looked at his students and said: “So when you argue, do not let your hearts get distant. Do not say words that distance you from others. Otherwise, there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return.”51.

When we argue, don’t let hearts become distant.(C)Hi, everybody! I’m Max, now I'm studying in an international school in Canada. Students here also spend much time on homework. How difficult the homework is depends on (取决于) what subject you are learning.For English, we usually put together presentations(展示). I will look for some information on the Internet. For example, I’m working on a one-minute presentation about recent Canadian news.I read about lots of news, and I will choose one thing to write about. Doing presentations is a good way to practice speaking skills and build confidence(自信). I still feel shy talking in front of many people. But my English has really become better.For geography and history, we usually do paper work and make posters. It takes a lot of time. We spent about a month on one article last year. We had to make outlines (提纲) and write out the main ideas. Our teacher fixed them and then we could start to write. For the posters, you can print or draw them. Last week, our teacher asked us to make a poster about our sense of place. So weput two pictures of our favorite places and wrote 10 words to describe them.Science was very hard for me at first. And it took me an hour to read three pages. But as I learn more and more words, I understand it better. Even if I don’t understand all the words, I can mostly guess what it is saying. So I get faster and faster at doing my homework.No matter what homework you get, just try your best.56. What decides the difficulty of students’ homework according to the passage?A. The teachers.B. The subjects.C. The students.D. The confidence.57. From Paragraph 2, we know that the writer has made her English better by ________.A. surfing a lot onlineB. reading Canadian newsC. working on presentationsD. building confidence from daily life58. In what order does the writer usually write an essay?①Get the outline back and start to write the essay.②Wait for the teacher to give some suggestions.③Make an outline and write down the main ideas.A. ①②③B. ③②①C. ③①②D. ②③①59. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 means ________.A. the English presentationB. the geography posterC. the history essayD. the science homework60. What can we learn from the passage?A. Of all the subjects the writer likes science most.B. The writer always tries her best to complete her homework.C. Homework in Canada is more difficult than in China.D. Doing homework is a piece of cake for the writer.46-50CDCAD 1-55 DCBAD 56-60 BCBDBAWhat can you do when someone hurts you? Most people may be angry or even fight with theone who hurts him or her. But it’s not a good idea. The best way is to forgive(原谅) them.It is not easy for us to forgive people who hurt us, but it is possible. “ Forgiveness makes you more hopeful. And it is good for our health,” says Frederic, Ph D, the writer of the book called Forgive for God.But how can we forgive others?First, think of something beautiful and try to get yourself happy.Second, don’t want others to say sorry to you. If the people hurt you, he or she won’t say sorry to you. They may just want to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way.Third, try to see things in others’ shoes. You can write a letter to yourself from the offender’s(冒犯者) point. That can make you understand others better and make yourself happier.At last, don’t forget to forgive yourself. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge(挑战). And it also makes you more confident(自信).31.What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined sentence?A.站在别人的鞋上看问题。

They had seen many asteroid s before ,but this was something different. It was long and thin---like a cucumber. The object’s speed and direction also showed something surprising .This was an interstellar object ---the first ever seen .B The object was named ’Oumuamua---Hawaiian for “vistor fromafar,”Nobody is sure exactly what it is . The simplest idea is that ’Oumuamua is a strangely shaped piece of rock. Perhaps it was knocked out of a far -off star system. However ,astronomers saw that its speed increase d after passing the sun. Some scientists therefore suggest a different theory.C“’Oumuamua could be a piece of alien technology,”says Professor Abranham Loeb from Harvard University. Loeb believes this could explain the object’s long , thin shape, and also its change in speed .Maybe ’Oumuamua was a spaceship that came to explore our solar system.” All possibilities should be consider ed,”says Loeb.D’Oumuamua can no longer be seen from Earth. But astronomers continue to study the information they got from it . It is still not clear if the object was a large rock, or something else altogether .’Oumuamua will likely be a mystery for many years to come.Choose the best answer for each question.1.What is the reading mainly about?a.new technology to help scientists find asteroidsb.the largest asteroid ever seen by scientistsc.a myterious object that passed by Earth2.What did scientists learn from studying ’Oumuamua’s speed anddirection?a.It came from another star system.b.It was possible it could hit the Earth .c.It was an asteroid.3.What is NOT given as a reason why ’Oumuamua could be an alienspaceship ?a.the object’s size and shapeb.the object’s change in speedc.the object’s color4.In paragraph C , what does considered mean?a.explained in detailb.thought about carefullyc.chosen from a list5.According to the infographic on page 10, when was ’Oumuamua firstseen from Earth?a.as it entered the inner solar systemb.just before it passed the sunc.after it passed the sunAnswers:1.C2. A3. C4. B5. B（2）The Lost City Of AtlantisA Most people have heard the story of the lost city of Atlantis . But is anypart of the story true ?B Over two thousand years ago ,the Greek writer Plato wrote aboutAtlantis , an island in the Atlantic Ocean . The island’s people were very rich . They built a big city with many great buildings . But the people became greedy---they had many things ,but they still wanted more . So the gods became angry. Earthquakes and large waves began to strike the island. Finally, Atlantis sank into the sea.C Many explorer s have looked for Atlantis . In 2004, explorer RobertSarmast reported finding the remains of a city under the sea near Cyprus. However , Sarmast and other scientists later realized the structures he found under the sea were natural ,not man-made .Mark Adams ,author of the 2016 book Meet Me in Atlantis believe s the citywas in Morocco. Plato wrote about red and black stone circle s around the city. Adams found similar red and black stones in the desert there ,very near the Atlantis Ocean.D Most people ,however ,think Atlantis is simply a story . The purpose ofthe story may be to teach people not to be greedy. Richard Ellis also wrote a book about Atlantis in 1999.

For the report, they hardly have a second to prepare after the host announces the topic. But many of them, including CGTN's Zou Yun, who has been working as an English reporter for nine years, amazed the audiences with smooth and moving answers out of sharp views.

The boy hit the nail successfully three times. The old man felt surprised and asked how he did that.“Yes,” said the boy, “I failed yesterday, but I thought that if I kept on trying a while, I could do it. So I went home and practiced hitting a nail with a stick till I could do it, and I got up very early this morning, and tried again.”The old man said, “You are the boy for me,” and gave him the job.

Here’s a good example.Mr. and Mrs. Mark are both teachers. They live in the UK with their two daughters: eleven-year-old Amy and Lily who is two years younger. Recently, the Mark family became the focus of the whole country after they completed 100 different outdoor activities in one year.The Mark couple didn’t want their children to spend all their free time in front of the TV and become “couch tomatoes”. So about one year ago, the Marks decided that watching TV and playing computer games were not allowed. Instead, they made 100 tasks for the two girls to do outside. Although Mr. and Mrs. Mark are not outdoor activity fans, they took part in all the activities to encourage their daughters. It turns out that the two sisters really had a good time joining activities.Every holiday and weekend, whether it’s sunny, rainy or snowy, the Marks’ would set off to try the activities on their list, including hiking, sailing, climbing, skiing, and so on. The two little girls not only had a wonderful time,but also learned a lot of skills from the activities.So we should do more outdoor exercise to keep healthy in our spare time.76. How old is Lily?77.

Lauren Rojas，a 13-year-old girl from America came up with the idea for her science project at school.The inspiration（灵感）came from a television programme Lauren once watched. In the programme，a balloon was released(释放) into the sky. She thought she could do the same with her Hello Kitty doll.Lauren spent about a month building a small silver rocket and a weather balloon by herself. She put the Hello Kitty doll into the rocket and tied it with the balloon. After testing wind direction and temperature, she set the balloon free.After a few minutes，the balloon rose more than 90，000 feet above the ground. It was near outer space. There，the air was so thin that the balloon burst. The balloon was 53 times larger than its original size before bursting open. Hello Kitty's rocket fell back down to Earth with the help of a parachute (降落伞)，and landed safely.Hello Kitty went along for the ride in the rocket just for fun. "I have liked her ever since I was 6 years old，" Lauren told the New York Daily News. " I thought it would be really fun to add a toy inside the rocket.

Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn't give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time only children from noble families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3, 000 students in his lifetime.Today, people still follow Confucius’ lessons. He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them.”He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled (困惑的). All thinking but no study makes people lazy.”Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His mostimportant teachings are about kindness and good manners. “A person sh ould be strict with himself, but be kind to others.” he said.32. Confucius learned music, history, poetry and sports ________ as a child.A. by teaching himself at homeB. with the help of his motherC. by going to schoolD. by visiting many famous teacher33. The underlined word “noble” in Paragraph 3 has the closest meaning to ________.A. poorB. brightC. richD. cute34. The correct order of the following statements is ________.①Confucius worked to help his mother as a child.②Confucius educated about 3, 000 students in his lifetime.③Confucius' father died.④Confucius started the first public school in Chinese history.A. ③①④②B. ②③④①C. ①③②④D. ④③①②35. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passageA. All study but no thinking makes people puzzled.B. No one has something worthy to be learned.C. All thinking but no study makes people lazy.D. A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others.BProgress means the act of going forward. Making any kind ofprogress can make us healthy and happy in life. By setting and actively working towards our goals, we can make progress in our life.To make more progress in life, start looking at problems in a different way. Whatever happens, if we think positively, we can make more progress and become stronger.Having confidence (信心) is helpful for us to make progress. Confidence comes from different places, such as proper education. Slow progress is still progress. Just as the old saying goes, “It does not matter how slowly you go as long as yo u do not stop.” Progress usually comes a lot more slowly than we expect. Even if progress is slow, try not to be worried. One important thing is that we keep taking steps towards our goals.The road to progress is not always smooth. Most progress often comes with setbacks along the way. Sometimes, maybe it feels like we’re taking one step forward and three steps back, but it won’t always be like that. Keep going towards our goals and we can much more easily make the progress we want.Progress doesn’t always happen in a straight line. As long as we keep working, we will achieve higher levels.36. What does progress make us doA. Set lifelong goals.B. Go forward easily.C. Live healthily and happily.D. Think about new things.37. What does Paragraph 3 tell usA. We should support different people.B. Some people can push us to failure.C. Confidence helps us make progress.D. Different schools expect the same progress.38. What does the writer say about slow progressA. It often goes smoothly.B. It still means progress.C It sometimes stops progress. D. It always gives us a clear mind.39. Which word is close to the underlined word “setbacks”A. Prizes.B. Advantages.C. Excuses.D. Difficulties.40. Which can be a proper title for the textA. Ideas about Making ProgressB. Keys to Speeding up ProgressC. Meanings of Having ConfidenceD. Suggestions on Relationships CFeel sad Hug a tree! Recently, many Chinese young people turn to trees to help with their problems. Maybe it sounds strange, but there’s a scien ce behind the tree-hugging.The “biophilia hypothesis (亲生命假说)” tells us the reason. It was from US scientist Edward Wilson in 1984. He said that our humans (人类) are born to love being around other living things. Humans’ love for nature (自然) is “in our DNA”. This idea helps us knowabout why people choose green, natural places instead of city views. It’s also one of the reasons why people love cute pets. Some studies show why tree-hugging can help with our health. A study in 2021 reported that the activity can increase oxytocin (催产素). It has something to do with our feelings. The higher the level (水平) of oxytocin is, the happier you may be. Hugging trees for only 21 seconds can bring more oxytocin in our body.What’s more, when a person is angry, sad or very anxious, more cortisol (皮质醇) come out. Hugging trees helps make cortisol less and less, which makes us feel better.The activity is helpful to us, but it’s important to remember that we shouldn’t hurt nature when doing it. Trees are important because many small animals live on the trees. You may want to be gentle when hugging trees — just like how you hug a friend!36. What do people love according to Paragraph 2A People love planting trees. B. People like living in modern cities.C. People like doing exercise.D. People love staying in green places.37. What does the word increase in Paragraph 3 meanA. make something moreB. make something lessC. make something betterD. make something worse38. According to the article, which of the following is trueA. We should plant more trees for the small animals.B. We may feel sadder with a lower level of cortisol.C. Hugging friends is much better than hugging trees.D. We may be happier with a higher level of oxytocin.39. How does this article show its idea① By telling a story. ② By using numbers.③ By giving reasons. ④ By showing some studies.A. ①②③B. ①②④C. ②③④D. ①②③④40. What does the article mainly tell usA. We should not hurt trees and animals in nature.B. There are many ways to feel happy and relaxed.C. We should plant more trees to have green views.D. Hugging trees in the right way helps us feel better.三、任务型阅读（满分10分）ADo you know about space vegetables Have you ever eaten them Some people worry about eating space vegetables.

I decided to give it a try,” Chen told China Youth Daily. It was really hard to stay on the board at first, but Chen found it very interesting. “Every time I did some difficult skills, I felt the joy of making breakthroughs (突破),” said Chen.Gradually, Chen needed a better skatepark (滑板场) for training. To meet the need, his father decided to make a skate bowl himself. “He would work on it late into the night, sometimes until three or four in the morning,” said Chen. “I’m really thankful for my father’ssupport.”As a junior high school student, Chen needs to find a balance (平衡) between his study and skateboarding.
