Here we list four famous travelers in history. Their travel stories have encouraged generations (一代人) of travelers and will continue to do so.Li Bai (701-762)Li Bai was a well-known Chinese poet in the Tang dynasty. He led a wandering lifestyle and was a great traveler. Of the over 1,000 poems he left, nearly half are related to travel. Li Bai was even considered as one of the early travel writers in China and his contributions are of great value to China’s tourism culture.Marco Polo (1254-1324)The famous Italian explorer started his adventure when he was 17 and traveled through Asia along the Silk Road. Luckily, he was a talented writer too, and his travel experiences were vividly recorded in the book, The Travels of Marco Polo, which provided Europeans with great understanding about the society and culture of the Eastern world.Ibn Battuta (1304-1368)Ibn Battuta was a Moroccan (摩洛哥的) scholar and explorer who traveled widely in Afro-Eurasia for over 30 years. Ibn Battuta was the first to introduce China, especially the Great Wall, to the Western and Arab worlds. He detailed his journeys in a book called The Rihla, which has guided many historians and travelers.Xu Xiake (1587-1641)Xu Xiake was a Chinese geologist and travel writer in the Ming dynasty. He traveled throughout China for more than 30 years. The Travel Diaries of Xu Xiake, collected and edited (编辑) by later generations, has proven to be of great scientific and literary value. To remember him, the day he started his journey, May 19, has been set as China Tourism Day. 31．According to the passage, who first introduced China to foreigners?A．Li Bai.B．Marco Polo.C．Ibn Battuta.D．Xu Xiake. 32．According to the passage, as a traveler, Li Bai’s main contributions are ________. A．much valuable to China’s tourism culture B．helping Europeans understand the Eastern worldC．guiding many historians and travelers D．the setting of China Tourism Day 33．The passage probably comes from ________.A．Poem World B．Photography LoverC．Tourism Space D．Sea ExplorerGrandpa moved in with us after Grandma passed away. He came to Canada from China, where he was a well-respected school headmaster.I, a nine-year-old boy, never spoke much Chinese. Grandpa didn’t speak much English,but we still connected in our own way.One way we developed our relationship was over a game of Monopoly. He didn’t really understand the rules or much of what my little brother and I said; I don’t think it mattered. He laughed when he landed on our hotels. Or when he pulled a card that read: “GO TO JAIL.” He got a kick to make us happy.I think of Grandpa when I play the trading card game Yu-Gi-Oh! with my sons. I can’t keep track of all the spells and effects in this game.Truthfully, I don’t care if I win or lose these games. What matters is spending time with my children and making an effort to understand their interests.I often think about my kids. At how excitedly they explain rules and how they go easy on their old man. I imagine it’s like how Grandpa felt playing Monopoly with us.Grandpa went for regular walks. He also spent his days sitting on the couch, looking out of the window and singing quietly. I often thought he was bored. But as I age, I find peace in taking moments to look out of a window. Maybe I got that from him.What I learned from my grandfather was to enjoy simple pleasures in life. To see the beauty in the colors of the rainbow. To see a single leaf fall from a tree. To play Yu-Gi-Oh! with my sons.34．What happened to the writer and his grandfather during the game?A．They grew closer by playing the game.B．He grew impatient with his grandfather. C．They learned to speak each other’s language.D．His grandfather seldom had fun while playing.35．Which of the following was right about the writer’s grandfather?A．He had fun playing Monopoly.B．He was a headmaster in Canada. C．He didn’t speak much Chinese.D．He didn’t like living in Canada. 36．How did the writer’s grandfather probably feel when he looked out of the window? A．Bored.B．Worried.C．Hopeful.D．Peaceful. 37．What is the writer’s purpose of writing this story?A．To remember his grandfather’s life story.B．To share his grandfather’s influence on him.C．To advise older people to learn about kids’ games.D．To remind readers to spend more time with family.Seven years ago, Joyce Akinpe moved to Australia to start a new life, finding an excitingjob in Sydney. After the outbreak (爆发) of COVID-19, she suddenly lost her job.Seeing that there were many others like herself in trouble from the outbreak, Akinpe and her two roommates, Michele Gomez and Maureen Lee, brainstormed ideas for how to help their local community. They came up with a street pantry（储藏柜）. Gomez said the idea was very simple, “Take what you need and leave what you can.”With the help of Gomez’s father, they built the Blessing Box – a street pantry, with shelves and hanging baskets and two doors made from old furniture.It sits just at the back of the three girls’ home, so they can look after it. They put some information notices into their neighbors’ mailboxes, and the Blessing Box was quickly filled with the donations (捐赠)from the community, “It is the community’s strong support that keeps the project alive,” Akinpe said.We now have hundreds of people visiting our box every day. It might only a hours for the box to be full and next hour it might become empty again. “We are now helping others to carry out similar projects in their own communities, too”, Gomez said.Lee said things in the box were mostly convenience foods, as well as some necessary life things such as spaghetti and toilet paper. “Few people take everything at once. They think there are other people who need them more.” Lee added.There were many people rushing there for donations. The three girls needed to sanitize (消毒）all the donations and make sure all food packages were not broken. Gomez said that they had no time for rest, but what they did was well worth.38．Paragraph 2 mainly talks about ________.A．the way to build the Blessing BoxB．the help from the local communityC．the purpose of building a street pantryD．the trouble from the outbreak of COVID-1939．Put the following sentences in the right order according to the passage.a. The three girls thought up a good idea.b. The three girls received and sanitized the donations.c. The three girls put information notices into their neighbors’ mailboxes.d. The three girls built the Blessing Box with the help of Gomez’s father.A．c—a—b—d B．c—b—a—d.C．a—b—-d—c D．a—d—c—b 40．Few people take everything they need at once because __________.A．they would like to use their own thingsB．they think other people need these things moreC．there aren’t enough donations in the Blessing BoxD．it's not safe to use the things from the Blessing Box41．The best title for the passage can probably be _________.A．Challenges through Life B．Happiness from Strangers C．Friendship during the Hard Times D．Kindness behind the Blessing Box Do you ever get the feeling that you’re being watched? Well, you might be right.According to a study published in Nature on June 23, astronomers(天文学家) have found that 1,715 stars have had a direct view of Earth since humans were here.In order to do this, scientists used a method that looked for life on other planets. But instead, they changed the method so it could try to decide what places could see us.The team looked at 331,312 stars within 326 light-years of Earth. Out of all those stars, only 1,715 of them could see Earth within the last 5,000 years, with an extra 319 stars that will be able to see us in the next 5,000 years.“When I look up at the sky, it looks a little bit friendlier because it’s like, maybe somebody is waving,” said Lisa Kaltenegger, director of the Carl Sagan Institute at Cornell University, US, and the study’s lead writer.If a planet circling around one of those 1,715 stars is home to advanced life, they could easily see that there is life here because of the oxygen on Earth. If that didn’t give it away, then the radio waves we have sent out into space would also be an indicator. In fact, human-made radio waves have already travelled through 75 of the closest stars on Kaltenegger’s list.Why haven’t we heard from anyone yet, then?It takes a long time for messages to travel between star systems. By the time a message could be received, that advanced life would probably not exist anymore.Alan Boss, a scientist at the Carnegie Institution for Science in the US who wasn’t part of the study, wrote in an email that this long time would limit the chances for different life to exchange “emails and TikTok videos”.“So we should not expect aliens to show up anytime soon,” Boss said.42．How many stars will be able to see us in the next 5,000 years?A．2,034B．1,715C．1,396D．319 43．What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 6 refer to?A．Advanced life.B．The oxygen on Earth.C．Human-made radio waves.D．A planet circling around one of those 1,715 stars.44．What could prevent humans from exchanging messages with aliens according to Boss? A．Aliens don’t exist.B．They cannot understand each other. C．Human-made radio waves cannot travel far.D．It takes a long time for messages to travel.45．What is the purpose of the text?A．To raise reader’s interest in Aliens.B．To present new findings published in a study.C．To discuss if there is advanced life on other stars.D．To explain how messages travel between different star systems.四、根据汉语提示填空46．The foreigner can’t understand me because my pronunciation is different from ________ (她的).47．The documentary I am interested in ________ (描述) the beauty of nature. 48．Which of the following ________ (选择) fits Jane’s personality best?49．David read more books than we did ________ the Reading Week. （在……期间）五、根据首字母填空50．As a symbol of Chinese c________, Bing Dwen Dwen is very popular around the world.六、用所给单词的正确形式填空51．Pay attention to what I am saying because I won’t explain it a ________ time.

(serve) 54．Mr. Wu, I can’t understand the ancient poem ________. Could you explain it to me?（complete）55．In this country, all the ________ (win) medals are kept in the national museum.七、阅读回答问题Earthquakes happen very often in Tokyo, but Tokyo is not an unlucky city. Many special parks have been built in Tokyo to keep people safe during earthquakes. These parks look nothing different from the other parks, but when earthquakes happen, they become life-saving places.Many useful things in those special parks can meet people’s basic needs.For example, it is usually hard for people to get water after earthquakes. In the special parks, people can get drinking water from the water pump (泵). If people need to use toilets (厕所), they can choose special toilets that can be used without water. Also, the helicopter (直升机) can land on squares or baseball fields and bring food or other things to people. What’s more, if people need to cook in the parks, some special benches can become cooking things.However, those useful things are not enough for people to face earthquakes. The most important part lies in training people. The parks, together with fire stations and the police, will train with local people at the usual time. This will let people think and move faster during real earthquakes and let them protect themselves better.So, what can we do to protect ourselves from getting hurt in earthquakes? First, we need to check our furniture and make sure they won’t fall down easily. Second, when an earthquake happens, we need to stay under tables or desks and protect our head. Third, we can keep our door open and wear comfortable shoes during small earthquakes in order to get out safely.56．Why are there many special parks in Tokyo?________________________________________57．List three things that people can get in the special parks.________________________________________58．According to the passage, what is the most important to help people face earthquakes?________________________________________59．What is the last paragraph mainly about?________________________________________60．What should you do if an earthquake happens?________________________________________八、短文首字母填空根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。
