China’s online people have gone c razy about the 1996-born girl, not because of her performance or her achievement , but because of her cheerful answer to her performance during an interview by CCTV.Finishing the 100 meter backstroke with seconds, Fu, who thought it was 59 seconds, was quite surprised with the result. This was the first moment when she impressed Chinese audience with her surprising look and body language in front of the camera. The second time that the young swimmer amazed the audience was her honest and straightforward answer to a question raised by the reporter. “We know that your body condition was not that good in the past year and it’s not easy to ha ve such a result. Do you think you are now as good as before” asked the reporter. “It is my best score ever. I have worked for three months on the recovery. Only the ghost knows what I have come through,” said Fu, “It was so painstaking that sometimes I felt like I was going to die. ”In the interview, Fu used a phrase “Hong Huang Zhi Li” to describe the great efforts she had made in preparing for the competition, which soon became a popular phrase on the Internet .43.

If oneis addicted to games of violence, he might not think fighting even killing is a very serious thing.But not everything about games is bad. For some, playing games is a good way to learn as well. Many games are based on history, countries or planning. Such games can indirectly(间接地) teach students valuable lessons of life. Some games can improve players' memory skills by asking them to perform memory exercises throughout the game in order to reach the next level. Computer games are known to improve hand-eye coordination(协调)and help players develop problem-solving skills. Most games inspire players to meet more difficult challenges.Computer games have both good and bad effects. Playing games itself is not a problem, but students need to know about how much time to spend playing games and what kind of games to play. Playing games is like any other activity in life——eating too many hamburgers or too much pizza is harmful too.45. The underlined word "violent" means ____________ in Chinese.A.怪异的B.懒惰的C.暴力的D.攀比的46.

Looking at their mobile phones and not at the road, these drivers have become a danger to us all.Many of the dangers of the Internet are well known.

People with blogs sometimes post information of people they don't know on their websites without permission. Some people even use the Internet to get personal information that we do not want them to have.Mobile phone and the Internet safety tips:◆Use a “hands-free” phone if you need to use a mobile phone when you drive.◆In difficult driving situations such as in rain or snow, do not use your phone at all.◆Do not make very important phone calls while driving.

How to Be a Sports AnnouncerCJoe was a carpenter（木匠） .He built houses in the highlands.Joe's wifeStella used a needle and thread to sew elegant clothing.She only usedbeautiful fabric to make clothes.Since they didn't have a lot of money，they lived in an old shed.Waterdripped in when it rained.They had broken chairs instead of a couch.Butthey had coal for heat，and flour from the mill for bread.Together，theytrimmed（修剪）the bushes to make their house look nice.Joe and Stellawere poor，but not ashamed.They were happy.Sometimes in the evening，they walked downtown.They looked in store windows and dreamed.Stella wanted a hairbrush with an ivory handle.She pulled her hair upwards every day because she didn't have a brush to make it nice.Joe wanted to fix his grandfather's watch.For their anniversary，Stella wanted to get Joe what he wanted.But then she did the arithmetic.It would take at least six months to save enough money.Then she had an idea.She cut off all of her hair and sold it. Meanwhile，Joe knew that he could never fix his watch.So he polished it and sold it.He made enough to buy the brush.On their anniversary，the door burst open.Joe was excited to give Stella his gift.But first，Stella gave him the money to fix the watch.When he saw his wife without any hair，he smiled. "I sold my watch to buy you something，" Joe said.He gave her the brush，and she laughed.They were both willing to give up something very special to make each other happy.28.

Excited.DThere are 8 billion humans on Earth.The sun is 150 million kilometers away.The universe （宇宙）may have 200 billion trillion （万亿）stars ...As scientists explore the world with more and more advanced（先进的）tools，the numbers used are also becoming bigger.Recently，scientists added four new names for really big and really small measurements（度量）：ronna （1027），quetta （1030），ronto （10-27）and quecto （1030）.Do you find these numbers too big to make sense（有意义）？Don't worry.Almost all human brains have a problem dealing with big numbers."While living and evolving（进化），our ancestors（祖先）had no need to develop such a skill，" US mathematician Spencer Greenberg told the science website Gizmodo.Early humans only needed to understand small quantities（数量），like the number of people in the clan （族群），or how many animals they had caught. "So it's not important todifferentiate large from very large from an evolutionary perspective （进化的角度）." However，there are some methods that can help us better understand big numbers.One way is to turn big numbers into something you are familiar with.For example，if imagining 400，000 people is too hard，you can think that an average soccer stadium can hold around 40，000 people.Then 400，000 people mean 10 soccer stadiums of people.Or if you have 1，000 yuan，then a millionaire（百万富翁）has 1，000 times more money than you.Needless to say，there are limits to these methods. "This is why we often just 'do the math'，" said Greenberg. "We can work with large numbers in calculations and get useful answers.We just can't necessarily grasp（理解）the numbers throughout that process."32. What might one quetta refer to？______A. One followed by 30 zeros.B. A decimal point（小数点）followed by 26 zeros.C. One followed by 27 zeros.D. A decimal point followed by 29 zeros.33. According to Paragraph 3，we can learn that ______ .A. there were no large numbers in ancient timesB. ancient people didn't need to understand big numbersC. human brains don't have a problem dealing with big numbersD. big numbers appear throughout human evolution34. According to the story，we can understand big numbers by ______A. comparing the numbers to moneyB. imagining how many people there are on EarthC. thinking about how many soccer stadiums we haveD. turning them into something we are familiar with35. What can we infer from the story？______A. Math is the best discipline for us to understand the world.B. People cannot understand numbers by doing calculations.C. Extremely large numbers cannot be calculated.D. Calculations help us deal with large numbers.五、任务型阅读-多任务混合（本大题共1小题，共6.0分）36. Do you ever worry that you might waste food？During the COVID-19 pandemic，many people round the world were going hungry.But people came up with unique （独特的）ways to try and help.One of these was to put fridges filled with food outside for people who needed it.The movement was very popular in the US but there are community fridges all around the world.However，this trend（趋势）started before COVID-19.Back in 2016，a restaurant owner in Kochi，India，had the idea late one night when she saw a lady looking for food in a trash（垃圾）can.She was really sad because that night，her restaurant had made lots of food and she could have given some to her.Over in the UK，the idea of communal（公用的）fridges was used in Sommerset to fight against food waste and poverty（贫穷），encouraging people to donate and also take unwanted supermarkets and eateries like Marks & Spencer and Greggs have helped.Now there is a large movement in the UK providing communal fridges.The charity（慈善组织），Hubbab，has worked with The Community Fridge Network.It supports groups running communal fridges across the UK：Now there are over 300 fridges in the UK Hubbub has partnered with Co-op to fund 500 fridges by the end of 2023."A fridge is so often much more than a fridge，" said Hubbub's official website. "The fridges bring people together，address social isolation（隔离）and provide people with the opportunity to access （取得）healthy food，try something new and save money."(1) What is the unique way for people to help the hungry？______(2) What was used in Sommerset to fight against food waste？______(3) What can we do to avoid wasting food______六、选词填空-短文（本大题共1小题，共5.0分）37.The 2022 FIFA World Cup was held in Qatar（卡塔尔）from Nov.20 to Dec.18，2022.The World Cup bad many historical firsts.It was the first World Cup to be held in the Middle East.It was the first World Cup to be held in winter in the（1）______ hemisphere （半球）and it was also the first held by a country that has never （2）______ the World Cup finals.The World Cup saw surprises too.European favorites，Portugal，Spain and （3）______ bowed out（出局）of the game early.But it was Argentina's year to shine，winning the final（4）______ the last World Cup winner，France.It won 4-2 in penalties （点球大战） .The victory（5）______ the achievement of Argentine soccer player Lionel Messi.七、单词拼写-单句（本大题共9小题，共9.0分）38.
