The library, which was built in 1945, houses a vastcollection of books, magazines, and multimedia resources. However, in recent years, the library has faced a significant challenge: a steady decline in the number of young people visiting the facility.The decline in young visitors can be attributed to several factors. First, the rise of digital media has led many young people to prefer online entertainment over traditional reading. Second, the town’s youth are increasingly mobile, spending more time in the nearby city for shopping, dining, and social activities. Finally, the library’s outdated technology and lack of interactive programs have failed to attract the attention of the younger generation.In an effort to reverse this trend, the library’s board of directors has decided to take a bold step. They have hired a young librarian named Emily, who is passionate about technology and community engagement. Emily’s vision is to transform the library into a modern, dynamic space that caters to the needs of today’s youth.One of Emily’s first initiatives is to set up a “Tech Zone” where young people can access the latest gadgets and software for learning and entertainment. She also plans to introduce a series of interactive programs, such as coding workshops, gaming nights, and film discussions. Additionally, Emily wants to partner with local schools and businesses to create a more integrated approach to education and community life.The community has shown mixed reactions to Emily’s plans. Some residentsare excited about the potential for revitalizing the library and attracting young people back. Others worry that the changes might alienate older members of the community who have enjoyed the library in its traditional form.Questions:1.What are the three main reasons for the decline in young people visiting the library in Seaside Cove?A) The rise of digital media, increased mobility of the youth, and outdated technology.B) Lack of interactive programs, the library’s outdated appearance, and high fees.C) The popularity of sports activities, the closure of local businesses, and the lack of a swimming pool.D) The absence of a café, the lack of air conditioning, and the smell of old books.2.What is Emily’s role at the library and what is her main goal?A) To manage the book collection and encourage more donations.B) To transform the library into a modern, dynamic space that appeals to young people.C) To organize book clubs and reading challenges for all ages.D) To replace all the old books with new releases and popular fiction.3.How has the community responded to Emily’s plans for the library?A) They have unanimously supported the changes and are eager to see them implemented.B) There is a strong divide between the older and younger residents, with each group opposing the other’s views.C) The majority of residents are indifferent to the changes, but a small groupis excited about the potential benefits.D) The community has organized a protest against the changes, claiming they are unnecessary and disruptive.Answers:1.A) The rise of digital media, increased mobility of the youth, and outdated technology.2.B) To transform the library into a modern, dynamic space that appeals to young people.3.B) There is a strong divide between the older and younger residents, with each group opposing the other’s views.三、完型填空（15分）Section 3: Cloze TestRead the following passage and choose the best word or phrase to fill in each blank.

The past perfect tense is used here to express the sequence of events.“Was invited” would imply a present state, “invited” is in the simple past tense, and “has invited” is in the present perfect tense, which is not appropriate for describing a past event.3、In the summer of 2022, we went on vacation and___________to a small village in the countryside.A. decidedB. was decidingC. had decidedD. have decidedAnswer: C. had decidedExplanation: The correct answer is “had decided” because the sentence indicates a past action (going on vacation) that was completed before another past action (deciding to go to the village). The past perfect tense is used to show this sequence of past actions.4、If I___________to the store earlier, I would have bought the milk before it went bad.A. would goB. wentC. had goneD. goAnswer: C. had goneExplanation: The correct answer is “had gone” because the sentencedescribes a conditional situation where the speaker is expressing a past action that would have had a result in the past (buying the milk before it went bad). The past perfect tense is used here to indicate the past condition.5.The cat is sleeping on the _5__ chair in the room.A. redB. redsC. red’sD. reds’Answer: A. redExplanation: The correct form is “red” because it is used as an adjective to describe the color of the chair. The possessive form, such as “red’s” or “reds’”, would not be appropriate in this context.6.She _6__ her homework before she went to bed last night.A. has finishedB. finishedC. have finishedD. finishingAnswer: B. finishedExplanation: The correct form is “finished” because the sentence is in the simple past tense, which is used to describe an action that happened at a specific time in the past. The present perfect tense “has finished” and the incorrect forms “have finished” and “finishing” are not suitable for this context.7.In the__________(be) room, there are many books on different subjects.答案：7. being解析：根据句意，空格处描述的是房间的一个状态，因此需要使用现在分词形式作定语。

In order to improve my grades, we should be a good learner. So learning methods are very important to every student. Now I’d like to share my opinions about learning methods with you.Firstly, to get good grades, you should have a good study plan and you have to sum up what you have learned often. Secondly, you can solve problems with the help of reference books such as a dictionary. And you should seize every chance to learn and make use of all kinds of learning resources. Finally, it would be a good idea if you try to preview your new lessons before class and listen to the teachers carefully in class. There are other methods that might help you with your study, but remember that diligence and good methods are the keys to success.。

Watch TV, play computer games, or go outside to relax? Here’s a good example.Tim and Kerry Meek are both teachers. They live in the UK with their two daughters, 11-year-old Amy and 9-year-old Ella. Recently, the Meek family has become the focus of the UK after they completed 100 different outdoor activities in one year.Tim and Kerry 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 Meeks decided that watching TV and playing computer games were not permitted. Instead, they set 100 tasks for the two girls to do outside. Although Mr and Mrs Meek are not outdoor activity fans, they took part in all the activities to encourage their daughters.Every holiday and weekend, whether it’s sunny, rainy or snowy, th e Meeks would set off to try the activities on their list, including hiking, sailing, climbing and skiing.

The few people walking along that street were hurrying, trying to keep warm. At the door of the shop stood the man who had come a thousand miles to meet a friend, Jimmy Wells. Twenty years ago, they agreed to meet here tonight. Such a meeting could not be certain. But he waited.About twenty minutes he waited, and then a tall man in a long coat came hurrying across the street. He went directly to the waiting man.“Is that you, Bob?” he asked, doubtfully.“Is that you, Jimmy Wells?” cried Bob.The new man took Bob’s hands in his. “It’s Bob! It surely is. I was certain I would find you here if you were still alive. Twenty years is a long time. The old restaurant is gone, Bob. I wish it were here, so that we could have another din ner in it. Has the West been good to you?”“It gave me everything I asked for. You’ve changed, Jimmy. I never thought you were so tall.”“Oh, I grew a little after I was twenty.”“Are you doing well in New York, Jimmy?”“Well enough. I work for the city. Come on, Bob. We’ll go to a place I know, and have a good long talk about old times.”The two men started along the street, arm in arm. Bob, the man from the West, was beginning to tell the story of his life. The other, with his coat up to his ears, listened with interest.At the corner stood a shop bright with electric lights. When they came near, each turned to look at the other’s face.The man from the West stopped suddenly and pulled his arm away. “You’re not Jimmy Wells,” he said. “Twenty years is a lon g time, but not long enough to change the shape of a man’s nose.”“It sometimes changes a good man into a bad one,” said the tall man. “You’ve been under arrest for ten minutes, Bob. Chicago policemen thought you might be coming to New York. They told us to watch for you. Are you coming with me quietly? That’s wise. But first here is something I was asked to give you. You may read it here at the window. It’s from a policeman named Wells.”1．Where did the story happen?A．In New York. B．In Chicago. C．In the West.

It was his opening conversation for the first class of the term.“Success is riding in a sweet car, watching an 80-inch TV, and living in a place with at least twelve rooms.” One student answered, earning laughs from all the students.Mr Gruber smiled, but shook his head. “Tom, that is excess(过量). That is not success.”“How about being able to provide for your family?” A blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggested as an answer.“Now we’re getting closer,” Mr Gruber smiled,“but try thinking about what you need and what you want.”“Getting everything you want.” Tom shouted out an answer again, trying for more laughs.Mr Gruber sighed. “ I believe we’ve already talked about excess versus(与…比较) success.” “Getting everything yo uneed, but some of what you want?” James, sitting in the back wondered aloud.“Quite right!” Mr Gruber clapped. “Success is getting everything you need and some of what you want. The more you get that you want, the more successful you are. You do reach a point where you are living in excess, though.”“What does this have to do with business?” Tom asked. It seemed if it wasn’t funny, he wasn’t happy.“Well, Tom, think of it this way: the point of business is to make a living to support your family. Once you have properly seen to (确保) their needs, you can then see to getting the extras that you want.”“What if I don’t have a family?” he continued to be difficult.“Then you have to provide for yourself, a family of one.”“He has goldfish to think about!” Peter, Tom’s friend, shouted out.“Then he needs to provide for a family of one with a fishbowl.” Mr. Gruber corrected himself.Tom nodded, satisfied with that answer.“So in the next nine weeks, we’re going to study basic business situations, like having a che cking account and understanding credit cards.”Tom rubbed his hands together excitedly. “When do we get to start spending?”“You already are, Tom. You’re spending time with us!” Mr. Gruber laughed. “Now, let’s see what you guys know about credit cards…”1．What class did Mr Gruber teach?A．History B．ScienceC．Maths D．Business2．Which student didn’t seem to be taking the class seriously?A．Tom B．JamesC．Peter D．Sandy3．How did Mr Gruber make his class lively and interesting?A．He himself kept talking.B．He just read from a textbook.C．He showed a movie to his students.D．He got his students to take part in a discussion.4．What do you think of Mr Gruber according to the passage?A．Strange B．PatientC．Shy D．Proud5．What can be the best title of this passage?A．Get What Y ou Want B．Needs and WantsC．Try to Get More Money D．How to Live WellF18、Students in our school have a colorful school life.

Yet, ice cream really came from Asia. In the late 1200s Marco Polo, the great explorer, is said to have seen rich Asians eating dishes of ice. Camels had brought the ice from distant mountains. Before it was served, the ice had been flavored(调味)with fruits.Marco Polo brought this new dish to Italy. In France cooks changed the ice recipe(配方)and made ice cream.At first，cooks tried to keep the recipe a secret. They wanted it to be a special dish for rich people. By the late 1700s, though, ice cream was sold throughout Europe and America. Some great Americans loved ice cream. George Washington was the first to buy a special machine for making it. When Thomas Jefferson returned from France, he brought an ice cream recipe home with him. Dolly Madison, wife of President James Madison, also liked ice cream, and she often served it at the White House. Actually, a famous brand of ice cream was even named after her.In the late 1800s，the ice cream industry began to grow. A way of keeping ice cream frozen had been found, so ice cream makers did not have to worry about ice cream melting(融化)any more.51. When did ice cream become well-known in many countries?A. In the1200s.B. In the 1500s.C. In the 1600s.D. In the 1900s.52. Who do you think was the most important person in the history of ice cream?A. Marco Polo.B. Dolly Madison.C. Thomas Jefferson.D. George Washington.53. Why can ice cream be sold everywhere today?A. Because people can afford to buy it.B. Because there are many recipes for it.C. Because it is easy to keep it frozen.D. Because many people like ice cream.BAs we walked slowly downhill to the boats, the doctor told us the story.“Two months ago,” he began, “Ben found the treasure and dug it up. He carried it on his back, in many tiring journeys, from under the pine tree to a cave he found. That’s when we arrived on the Hispaniola.” “I went to meet Gunn on the afternoon of the attack,” continued the doctor. “Then, when I couldn’t see the ship anymore, I visited Silver. I gave him the useless map and the supplies as Ben Gunn had plenty of goat’s meat. With the pirate s at the fort(堡垒) we could move to the safety of the cave and guard the money. I thought Jim was sure to be taken to the empty treasure pit(坑) with the pirates. So I left the squire and the captain guarding the cave, and arrived at the pit just in time. Gunn went ahead of me, as he could move fast, and he worked on the pirates fears by singing and calling out, with great success.”At the top of the bea ch, by Ben Gunn’s cave, we met the squire. He was pleasant and kind tome, with no praise or blame.“John Silver,” he said, greeting Long John Silver, “you are a villain. They tell me I must charge you, and so I will not. But the men you have killed will hang around your neck like heavy stones.”“Thank you, sir,” said Long John Silver, saluting him.And then we entered the cave. It was a large, airy place, with a little spring and a sandy floor. By a big fire lay Captain Smollett, and, in the far corner, I could see piles of gold coins and bars of gold. That was Flint’s treasure which we came to Treasure Island to find, and which cost the lives of seventeen men from the Hispaniola. And so many others that it was impossible to say.54. Where was the treasure at first?A. In the fortB. In the caveC. Under the pine treeD. On the ship55. What does the underlined word “villain” mean?A. suspectB. criminalC. thiefD. witness56.

Over seventeen people died because of the treasure.CThe painter Craigie Aitchison was born in Scotland. He came to London planning to study law, but went to art school instead. There he found the traditional drawing classes difficult, but still kept on painting.In his late twenties he was given money by the Italian government to study art and liked early Italian artists, which shows in some of his work. He loved the greens and browns of the Italian fields and the clear light there, and wanted to put this light into his paintings.This led him to paint colours thinly one on top of another from light to dark, but he insists he's never sure what the results will be. He says, "It's a secret---because I don't know myself. I don't start by painting yellow, knowing I'm going to put anything on top." Like most talented people, Aitchison makes it sound easy. "Anyone can do the colours---you can buy them. I simply notice what you put the colours next to."Unlike some artists, he never does drawings before he starts a painting, as he feels that if he did, he might get bored and not do the painting afterwards. Instead, Aitchison changes his paintings many times before they are finished. This explains why his favourite models are people who don't ask to see their pictures while he's painting them. "If I feel they're worried and want to look at the painting, I can't do it."Since moving to London years ago, he has not felt part of the Scottish painting scene. He says he doesn't want to follow any tradition, but just paints the way he can. However, his work still influences young British painters.58. In the passage, the writer is trying to _____ .A. describe particular works by Craigie AitchisonB. teach readers how to paint like Craigie AitchisonC. introduce the artist Craigie Aitchison to the readersD. explain how Craigie Aitchison has made money from painting59. What can the reader learn about Aitchison from the passage?A. He works in a different way from other artists.B. He often gets bored easily with his paintings.C. He found the drawing classes easy at art school.D. He was sure what his painting was like before drawing.60. Aitchison prefers models who don't _____ .A. keep moving around while he's workingB. ask him about his strange method of workingC. worry about how long the work will takeD. feel worried to see the work as it's developing61. What might a visitor at an exhibition say about Aitchison's work?五、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分）66.Diana was a little fat in the past. But now she is much ▲than before. (瘦的)67.

It is the latest bestseller by British writer Jojo Moyes. The book has been made into a movie. British actress Emilia Clark and actor Sam Caflin play the lead roles in the movie.There are two main characters in this book. One is Louisa Clark, or Lou, a girl who has lost her job at a cafe. The other is William Traynor, or Will, a young man who has become disabled after a motorcycle accident.Lou ends up taking a job where she has to take care of Will. At first, they don't like each other very much. However, they gradually become good friends. But this happiness only lasts a few days.While I read the book, I couldn't help but notice its language. There were a lot of descriptions to show what the characters are feeling. There are also many detailed descriptions of the environments around the characters. For example, Moyes writes "I saw it was bigger than I had imagined, red brick with a double front…"，describing how surprised Lou is when she sees Will's house for the first time.At the end of the book, Will writes "Just live well, just live" in a letter. This short line is the last thing that Will writes to Lou. It shows Will's deep feelings about life. He wants her to live life to the utmost(竭尽全力)－the very thing he had wanted to do before he had his accident.1. What do we know about the book Me Before You?A. It is about childhood memories.B. It has been made into a movie.C. It has one main character.D. It was written by a US writer.2. Which of the following is TRUE about William Traynor?A. He was born with a disability.B. He lost his arms in a car accident.C. He knew Louisa Clark before the accident.D. He became disabled after an accident.3. Why did the writer write this story?A. To introduce a book.B. To advertise a movie.C. To introduce a writer.D. To tell a love story.B“How did you know I had a visitor with me?” asked Watson in amazement. “I sometimes believe you have eyes in the back of your head!”“I don’t, but I do have a very well polished silver coffeepot in front of me!” Holmes laughed. “And whom do I have the pleasure of greeting?” he asked.“I am Dr. James Mortimer, Mr. Holmes. It concerns the death of my good friend and patient, Sir Charles Baskerville.

The perfect crop field could be inside a windowless building with controlled light, temperature，wetness，air quality and nutrition. It could be in a building in New York or in a desert in Sahara.The world is already having trouble feeding itself. Half the people on Earth live in cities，and nearly half of those are hungry or ill-fed. Food prices are buffeted by，floods and the cost of energy required to plant, harvest and transport it. And prices will only get more changeable. Farmers in many parts of the world already are using water available to the last drop. And the world is getting more crowded by mid-century，the world's population will grow front 6. 8 billion to 9 billion.To feed so many people may require more farmland , as a result , forests and wilderness(荒地)are becoming fewer and fewer.Gertjan Meeuws has taken the idea of a greenhouse a step further, growing vegetables and houseplants in enclosed(封闭的)environments. In their research station , water flows into the fields when needed，and the temperature is kept the same. Lights go on and off, creating similar day and night，but according to the needs of the plants.A building of 100 square meters and 14 layers(层)of plants could provide a daily diet of 200 grams of fresh fruit and vegetables to the entire population of Den Bosch, about 140,000 people. Their idea isn' t to grow foods that require much space，like corn or potatoes. Here sunlight is not only unnecessary but can be harmful. Plants need only specific(特定地)light to grow. Their growth speed is three times faster than under greenhouse conditions. They use about 90 percent less water than outdoor agriculture. And city farming means producing food near the citizens, and there's no need to transport it long distances.7. The underlined word "buffeted" in Paragraph 2 means_____ .A. badly influencedB. causedC. dividedD. well achieved8. Which of the following is TRUE of the environments in the research station?A. The temperature is often changed.B. Sunshine is in great need for plants.C. Day and night depends on plants.D. Air quality is controlled by plants.9. It can be inferred from the text that Gertjan Meeuws's farming .A. is of great help to the people who live in the cityB. saves less water compared with outdoor agricultureC. is completely different from greenhouse agricultureD. requires much space and suits the production of corn10. What is the passage mainly about?A. Disadvantages of outdoor farmingB. Development of greenhouse farmingC. The world's food problemsD. Sunless，rainless indoor farming四、词汇运用（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）36.

These days, the 29-year-old is standing her ground as a superhero.Larson plays Carol Danvers, also known as Captain Marvel, in the movie of the same name. As a superhero, she has many superpowers, such as being able to fly as fast as light. The movie has become a huge success.When Larson was offered the role, she didn’t accept it at the beginning. ‘I am not a person with much confidence. So, I needed a little bit of time to see if I can do it…’ she said. La rson is no stranger to Hollywood, but it’s one thing to win an Oscar and another thing totally to star in a Marvel movie. She had no idea about playing a superhero. There would be lots of promotional (推广) interviews. Facing all of these, she decided to go out of comfort zone (舒适区). ‘I was gonna push myself to do things that I never thought I could do. I challenged myself. ’ she said.Larson trained for nine months. She learned kungfu, practiced weightlifting and so on. But the biggest challenge was that she had to work with a cat –an animal that she was afraid of. ‘I was sick the whole time, but I insisted to work with it by myself. I was fine.’Varity magazine spoke highly of her acting. By playing Captain Marvel, Larson discovered her own weaknesses and turned them into confidence. Even just watching her recent interviews, one can tell from her body language that she had found something she didn’t have much before.单选：1-5 ABCBD 6-10 CCBBA 11-15 DBBDC完形1-5 BCDBA 6-10 CACBA阅读BDA ACB ACAD词汇36.controlling 37.discussed 38.customers’ 39.achievement 40.repairing41.nineties 42.happiness 43.impatient 44.decision 45.inventors’首字母46.Of 47.poor 48. with e 50.Saying51.from 52. doubted 53. tired 54. great 55.realized任务型阅读56. leave57. be/become58. creates59. succeed60. donated61. speed62. refused63. sure/certain64. remain/stay65. confident写作例文Dear Amy,I’m really happy to have your email. Thanks for your care. The epidemic situation is really serious. I haven’t been out for days. I've been staying at home because it’s the safest way. So have other people. If we go out, we must wear a mask, and when we come back, we must take our temperature at the gate of the communities. All the doctors and nurses are fighting with the novel coronavirus all day and all night on the front lines. And I believe we can defeat it in the near future. Because I believe that as long as we work together, nothing is impossible.Although the school has not started yet, we have been studying at home all the time. The teachers give us lessons online and help us solve problems. This way is more convenient for me, because I don't have to waste time on my way to school, and I can have more time to study. I have been reviewing all the lessons carefully every day, preparing for the entrance examination of my senior high school.I hope you can also take care of your health and keep healthy.Yours,Li Hua。
