If someone is unkind, then 6 is missing. If someone is hateful, then love is missing. If you know what’s missing, we had better provide 7 .” And here in the restaurant, service was missing.

My friend Amy told me about her 16 to a small town called Gary, and how it 17 her life. I made up my mind to go there.When I told my parents about it, they didn’t 18 at first. They thought I didn’t know much about the place. It might be 19 for me to go there alone. Thankfully, after I explained my 20 plan to them, including what to do, whom to go with and how to keep safe there, they said yes.When our group arrived in Gary, 21 , I found the town was different from where I lived. I never imagined there were few stores or restaurants there and most had closed. So it would be very 22 if you could find a place to buy food or drinks. Many houses had broken doors or windows. My job was to 23 them. The workdays were long and hot, but it was really good to see the houses taking on a new look with bright colours.The children there were also different. They enjoyed every moment in life. For example, when they received an ice-cream, they would hold it carefully and taste every bit of it 24 .

To relax, they invented many games. Here are some of them.ChuiwanChuiwan was very popular in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). “Chui” means “hit” and “wan” means “ball”. This sport was similar to golf. On a large field, the players were divided into two groups. Usually there were 2 to 10 people in each group. Everyone had three chances to hit the ball into holes with a stick. Only when the balls were hit into the hole 3 times, could the player win the point.ArcheryIn Western Zhou Dynasty (1046-771BC), archery was an important part of education for gentlemen. At 15, they began learning archery. The most famous competition was Grand Archery. It was held by the emperor, the head of the country. The competitors greeted each other before shooting arrows and drank together after it. As one of the six Chinese arts, archery didn’t become popular until Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the emperors used archery to fight, and to make themselves fit.CujuFirst recorded 2,000 years ago, cuju is known as the earliest form of football: The ball was made of hard leather on the outside and filled with feathers or rice bran inside. As a fun game, cuju was first used in the army to train soldiers. Its rules were similar to the rules of football. Each team usually had 12 or 16 players. No hands were allowed. Only feet and head could be used. The ball should be hit into the other team’s goal.26．What sport was chuiwan similar to?A．B．C．D．27．Which is not the reason for people to learn archery across history?A．To educate young people.B．To protect themselves from attack.C．To keep strong.D．To compete against emperors.28．What can we know about cuju?A．The ball was hard outside and empty inside.B．It was played by 12 or 16 players.C．It was invented to relax soldiers.D．Players could use head and feet to hit the ball.It was a week before I saw Captain Nemo again. Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had come to the top. I would go out and see thesunrise.Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to run away. When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so interested in Crespo Island. “I thought you preferred the sea.”“I do,” replied the Captain. “But these forests are under the sea.” During breakfast, he explained, “I have made diving suits that used special air tanks before I sent you the note. These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. Wonderful, isn’t it?” He said he had also made lights that worked in electric batteries. When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all.Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We stepped into a room and closed the door. The room was filled with water, and another door opened. We went through it, and we were on the sea floor. It was an amazing experience.We were about ten metres under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colours of the shells, fish and seaweed. Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area. We were going deeper and deeper.As we were a hundred metres under the water, we could still see quite well. Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” there were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical (垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small bushes grew under the large seaweed trees.Three hours later, we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but very sleepy. We all slept, and when we woke up, we explored further.(Adapted from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea) 29．According to paragraph 1-3, which is NOT true?A．In the beginning, I was on the ship Nautilus.B．Ned, Captain Nemo, and I would explore together.C．The Captain started the trip because of his love for the sea.D．Captain Nemo had made special suits for our exploration.30．In what order did the following events happen?a. We went through a door to the bottom of the sea.b. We reached the undersea forests.c. Captain Nemo invited me to explore the forests.d. Captain Nemo got ready for the trip.e. We saw colorful seashells and crossed a grassy area.A．d-c-a-e-b B．d-c-a-b-e C．c-d-a-e-b D．c-d-a-b-e 31．How did I feel when visiting the forest?A．Tired.B．Hungry.C．Amazed.D．Proud.32．What will the story probably continue to talk about?A．When they returned to their ship.B．What they dreamed about while sleeping.C．Why they felt so sleepy.D．How they travelled deeper.The XinjiangSalamandersKnown as Central Asian salamanders, the Xinjiang salamander is an amphibian （两栖动物）that has lived for more than 300 million years. For a long time, they were thought to have died out. In 1989, they were discovered again in Xinjiang. They are considered to be a living fossil of amphibians.Population:The population of Xinjiang salamanders has risen from around 1,700 in 2015 to over 3,000 in 2018.Appearancе:It’s a “four-footed fish” around 20 centimeters long and much smaller than other giant salamanders, with an oval body, long tail and smooth skin.Home:The Xinjiang salamander is only found around Tianshan Mountain, Xinjiang, but in no other places in the world.Food:Because of the bad weather in Tianshan Mountain, the Xinjiang salamanders do not have many kinds of food to eat. They mainly feed on insects in water, such as caddisflies, betonies and stoneflies.Behaviour:Xinjiang salamanders have poor eyesight. They often get lost on land, especially on cloudy and rainy days. They are afraid of light, so they often live under stones or grass. They also produce eggs under stones. If cows and sheep on the farm pass by, they would accidentally step on them. Salamanders have no natural enemies except themselves: young salamanders are often eaten by adult salamanders!Protection:The weather in Tianshan often changes greatly, making it difficult for the Xinjiang salamanders to live there. Besides, with decreasing wetlands and increasing human activities, its population dropped quickly. To protect the amphibians from dying out, a large nature reserve was set up in Wenquan County in 1997. People have also tried to protect the grassland and wetland where they live, and have built a monitoring system to learn about their growth. In 2016, a scientific research and education center was put into operation. In 2022, 139 baby salamanders were born there.33．What does the underlined sentence try to show about Xinjiang salamanders?A．They can live longer than dinosaurs.B．They are old, so they can become valuable fossils.C．They appeared in ancient times but have lived till now.D．They are thought to be the oldest living animals.34．What can we know about Xinjiang salamanders from the passage?A．Their population grew fast from 2015 to 2018.B．They are almost as big as other giant salamanders.C．They can also be found outside Xinjiang.D．They have rich food choices.35．Which helps Xinjiang salamanders keep safe?A．Living with farm animals.B．Lying under stones and grassland.C．Travelling on land in terrible weather.D．Keeping baby and adult salamanders together.36．What’s the purpose of the passage?A．To explain how Xinjiang salamanders become living fossils.B．To tell new discoveries about Xinjiang salamanders.C．To show general information about a special salamander.D．To encourage people to visit surprising salamanders in Xinjiang.How are animals communicating with each other? In the past, we could only study this by watching animals carefully or teaching them human language. But now with the help of AI and machine learning, we may be able to understand their languages!All around the animal world, there are sounds that we can hardly pick up and understand. Elephants, for example, talk with each other using infrasound—too low for humans to hear. Bats communicate with ultrasound—too high for humans to hear. However, by putting field recorders in trees, on mountaintops, and even on the backs of whales and birds, scientists can collect their sounds.After the sounds are recorded, AI can study their meanings. For example, a team of Israeli scientists used AI to get the meanings of bats’ 15,000 calls. They found that more than 60% of them were fights and disagreements about four things: food, sleep positions, personal space, and unwanted advances. This is surprising as bats are thought to be quiet animals!The new technology can not only understand animal talks, but also communicate back to them. For example, scientists in Germany studied how bees used sounds and dances to speak. Then they put the bee language system into a robot bee, and hid it in a bee hive where bees live. The robot gave orders to the other bees, like “quiet down” or “stop”, and they would follow.Why is it important to understand animals’ words? It is the first step to give other kinds of creatures on Earth a chance to express themselves. The natural world is full of conversations. But we are only able to understand one of them. By using AI, we are better able to listen to them, especially those in faraway places like deep seas and mountain tops.Though AI has proved itself to be useful, we have to think about the problems it may bring. What problems would there be if one day we could use animal robots to “talk” to real animals? Will humans use the technology to control or hurt the animals? What can we do to stop these? We’d better think about these problems before we act.37．How can AI and machine learning help people understand animals?a. By teaching human language to animals.b. By picking up sounds humans cannot hear.c. By working out the meaning of animals’ sounds.d. By teaching animals to understand robots’ words.e. By learning animal languages to talk with them.A．a, b, c B．a, c, d C．b, c, e D．c, d, e38．What does the underlined word “This” refer to in paragraph 3?A．The group of Israeli scientists.B．The study on bats’ disagreements.C．The number of bats’ calls.D．The finding on bats’ calls.39．Why is it meaningful to understand animals’ languages?A．It makes it possible for animals to be heard.B．It proves human’s ability to understand and control animals.C．It helps discover more animals in the faraway places.D．It allows humans to listen to animals more clearly.40．What does the writer think of the technology?A．He is surprised at it.B．He is afraid of it.C．He is careful about it.D．He is satisfied with it.A smile shows that a person is happy. For example, a person may smile when he or she is satisfied with a grade on a test. Or a person might smile if a friend tells a funny joke. People smile for many different reasons. But smiles are more than just a way for people to show their happinessand joy. 41First, it is easier to smile than to show unhappiness. In fact, it only takes 17 muscles (肌肉) to smile. On the other hand, it takes 43 muscles to show unhappiness. 42Second, smiles show you are kind and polite. People may try to look nice on the outside by exercising or wearing nice and proper clothes. 43 That is because it is easy to be around someone who is smiling and happy.Third, smiles have power. 44 If one person smiles, people around him or her want to smile, too. Similarly, when a person laughs, people will be likely to laugh with him or her. If a person is sad, the best thing to do is to share a smile or laugh. It is the easiest and cheapest way to cheer someone up.Finally, smiling and laughing are very good for the body. 45 You’ll find that it will be hard to stay mad or sad for very long.A．Even if you are mad or sad, try smiling.B．There are other good reasons for smiling often.C．So give the muscles in your face a rest and smile!D．Both smiling and laughing can easily pass from one person to another.E．However, as the saying goes, “a smile is the best thing a person can wear.”三、短文填空根据短文的内容及首字母提示写出文中所缺单词。

I’m too busy!” The boy’s tears fell from his blue eyes. Feeling sorry, the father said, “You can finish later.” The boy said nothing but quietly walked away. That evening the father said, “Come and finish the kisses now, Andrew!” But the boy didn’t. A few days later after the father’s birthday, the boy had an accident and died. His sad father wrote, “If only I could tell him how sorry I am for my bad words, and how much my heart is hurting.” Love is a two-way street. We must warmly accept any loving act, or others will take it as a“NO” and it can leave a scar(伤痕). If we don’t receive love, our life will lose its true meaning.

Last year, he taught his students about the world's rain forests. They learned that rain forests are important because the plants and animals of the rain forest give us food, wood, and medicine.Destruction of th e world’s rain forests is a serious problem. Unluckily, rain forests are disappearing at a rate of 80 acres per minute! As part of a class project, Myers’ students bought three acres of rain forest in Central America. They paid $10 per acre. The students hope that the land they bought will be protected and not destroyed. The students became so interested in rain forests that they decided to get a closer look at a real rain forest.So last June, Myers and four of his students took a boat ride down a river. They saw alligators and crocodiles, In the middle of the week, a guide took Myers and his students into the rain forest. “The monkeys were not happy that we were in their forest. They broke small branches off the trees and threw them at us," one of the stud ents said.“It was a great learning experience for all of us," said Myers.Each student chose something specific about Costa Rica to study involving the plants, animals, food, and culture. During the last few days the group had time to do fun activities. They went whitewater rafting and horseback riding, and visited Costa Rica’s active volcano.Myers hopes to make the trip every year with a different group of kids.29．How much did Myers’ students pay for the rain forest they bought?A．$10.

The students who learnt to play a musical instrument (乐器) in primary school and continued playing in high school not only got better grades, but were about one school year ahead of their non-musical classmates.Scientists studied over 112,000 students who finished all the 12-grade schoolwork from 12 to 15. Students who had at least one instrumental music class were seen as students taking music classes. The music classes need instrumental music experience and include concert bands, jazz bands and so on.The scientists found the relationships between music education and grades were clearer for those who learnt musical instruments. The study shows the skills learnt in instrumental music class can turn into the students' learning ability at school.According to the study, a music student has to learn to read music notation (乐谱), and develop eye-hand-mind coordination (协调) skills, quick listening skills and team skills. All those skills play an important role in developing the learner's different abilities.Lots of people expressed their opinions on the Internet. Some said they agreed with the result. They thought it was interesting. However, others didn't think so. They thought music education had nothing to do with grades.33．What can we learn from the study?A．Students should learn a musical instrument from primary school.B．Non-musical students aren't so clever as music students.C．The exams are easy for the students who take music classes.D．Grades have something to do with music education.34．What is the main idea of the passage?A．Music students do better at school than non-musical ones.B．Music is more important than any other subject at school.C．It's necessary for students to develop different skills.D．High school students need music to relax.35．What can we infer (推断) from the passage?A．The writer doesn't support the result.B．Music students think it's interesting to learn music.C．If one keeps taking music classes, he'll be the best student.D．Music skills are helpful for a music student's learning ability.36．What's the purpose of the passage?A．To talk about different opinions. B．To show what music students study.C．To tell readers about a new study. D．To advise readers to take music classes.DWhat will you do with a huge bag of waste when you see the four waste bins in your community（社区）？They are "Wet", "Dry", "Recyclable" and "Harmful".Many people know the importance of waste sorting, but they just don't know what falls into which kind. This makes it seem a little time-taking and difficult.As a pioneer city, Shenzhen is also taking steps to encourage people to do waste sorting. Not only has the government tried hard to tell the public about the different four kinds of waste through posters and media, but also it is going to give prizes to people across the city. The total prize is 12.5 million yuan. As long as they take part in waste sorting, everyone has a chance to get the money. The purpose is to help people form a green idea of thinking of waste sorting as a goodbehavior.Take Meilin No. 1 Village as an example. After several months of efforts, most people there can now sort out kitchen waste before throwing it out between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. each day at proper places.

The researchers from California report that the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.The lowering of the waters’ PH value is not great at the moment but could cause a serious threat to current ocean life if it continues, they warn. Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature.Increasing use of oil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it will eventually be absorbed by sea water. Once in the water, it reacts to form carbonic acid. Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century.These researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change．"This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing CO2 into the atmosphere," said Dr Caldeira. "And we predict the amount of future acidity will exceed anything we have seen over the last several hundred million years, let alone perhaps after rare disasters such as asteroid impacts．”However, it is not absolutely clear what that means for ocean life．Most organisms live near the surface, where the greatest PH change would be expected to occur, but deep-ocean life forms may be more sensitive to PH changes．Coral reefs(珊瑚礁) and other organisms whose shells contain calcium carbonate may be particularly affected if the water's acidity levels keep going up, the team predict. They could find it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower PH.In recent years some people have suggested storing carbon dioxide from power stations in thedeep ocean as a way of dealing with global warming．But Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered. "Previously, most experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing-because in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warm the planet, and when CO2, is absorbed by the ocean, it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming.”26. The ocean is becoming more acidic due to___________.A. the lower water PH valueB. the warming atmosphereC. the higher level of CO2 in the airD. the increasing use of oil fuel27. According to Dr Caldeira,__________ .A. ocean absorption of carbon dioxide is a good thingB. more oil fuels will be used in the near futureC. scientists may predict climate changes with computer modelsD. the future situation of the amount of acidity is extremely serious28. If the water's acidity level keeps rising, _________ .A. ocean life whose structures contain calcium carbonate may be affectedB. the waters’ PH value will become higher and higherC. organisms living near the surface are more sensitive to PH changesD. some disasters will occur more often than before29. What does the underlined word “acidic” probably mean?A. 污染的B.酸的C. 复杂的D. 温暖的30. The purpose of this passage is to_________ .A.show people the findings of a research teamrm people of how acid the ocean is nowC.introduce Dr Caldeira and his team's researchD.warn people of the higher acidity level in the seaBThere are a lot of fun and educational things to do on the web for kids.There are also a lot of people and websites, so you need to be careful.
