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。

After that, she went back to school and began to strive（奋斗）for children and women to receive education.On October 10, 2014, the Nobel Prize for peace was awarded（授予）to Malala. She became the youngest winner in the history of Nobel Prize. However, Malala missed the most important event of being announced（宣布）to be the winner of the prize. At the very moment, she was taking chemistry lessons in the classroom! After hearing the news, Malala chose to take her history and physics lessons as usual. She said calmly to the reporter, “I’m proud of getting this prize. Althoughthe unforgettable date itself means something to me, it’s more important to finish the rest lessons today. After all, it’s a normal school day.”One year later, Amy Mainzer, an astronomical scientist of NASA, found a new planet. She named it “Malala”. When Amy Mainzer was interviewed by Times, she explained, “I think Malala has set an example for us. She is brave and keeps helping children and women get the right of being educated. Nothing can stop her.”Before she finished her high school, she had written a book I am Malala. She said, “I hope the readers around the world have chances to read my book.

There is a person, called “the top man”, running the studio. He is usuallysomeone with a powerful personality. His power of character is necessary so that the “boss” can deal with famous stars and rich investors（投资者）. Some movie stars can only contract（签合同）with one studio. They cannot work for another. Big studios like Columbia, Fox, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer are the most important movie-making companies in Hollywood. Making a film takes a long time and is very hard work. Writing the story for the film needs many weeks. Shooting a film often takes at least six months. Actors and cameramen work from very early in the morning until late at night. Each scene has to be acted and reacted, filmed and re-filmed, until it is just good enough. Sometimes the same scene has to be acted many times. The film studio is like a large factory, and the indoor stages are very big indeed. Scenery of all kinds is made in the studio. Churches, houses, castles, and forest are all built of wood and cardboard（纸板盒）. Several hundred people work together to make one film. Some of these people are actors and actresses. The director of the film, however, is the most important person in a film studio. He decides how the scenes should be filmed and how the actors should act. Most people go to see a film because the film stars they like are in it. Sometimes the film may be very poor. It is best to choose a film made by a good director. Some famous directors make their films very real. People feel that they themselves are among the people in the film.33.How many big studios are mentioned in the passage?A. 3B. 4C. 5D. 634.The scenes have to be reacted and re-filmed many times because ______.A. it takes time to make a filmB. it is difficult to make them realC. it is not easy to make them good enoughD. several hundred people work together35.According to the passage, most people go to see a film because ______.A. they like the scenes in itB. their favorite film stars are in itC. they want to know who is the directorD. they want to learn its story36.We can probably see the passage in a(n) ______.A. newspaperB. magazineC. advertisementD. storybook(D)China has cloned（克隆）two monkeys using the same method that created Dolly the sheep in Scotland, leading the way for more exact animal testing for new drugs, scientists said on January 25th, 2018.Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua, the primates（灵长动物）, were created using the nuclear transfer of somatic cells（体细胞核移植）at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Neuroscience.“Cloning monkeys using somatic cells has been a world-class challenge because it is a primate that shares its genetic makeup（基因组合）with humans,” said Pu Muming, the director of the neuroscience institute in Shanghai.“By cloning monkeys using somatic cells, we can cultivate（培育）a large number of genetically identical offspring（后代）in a short amount of time, and we can even change their genes to suit our needs,” he said. “This can save time, cut down experiment costs and produce more exact results, leading to more effective medicine.”Sun Qiang, the director of the non-human primate research at the institute, said most of the drug experiments are done on laboratory mice. However, drugs that work on mice might not work or may even have negative effects on humans because the two species are so different.“Monkeys and humans are both primates, so they are much more closely related, and testing on monkeys is supposed to be as effective as testing on humans,” Sun said, “This is especially useful in testing drugs for some neural disease（神经疾病）,” he added.However, some fear that the technology used to clone monkeys has opened the door to copying humans. While the technical barrier（障碍）of cloning humans has indeed been broken, “The reason we break this barrier to produce animal models that are helpful for medical research and human health,” said Pu. “There is no purpose to apply this method to humans.”37.The scientists used the same method that created Dolly the ______ to clone the two monkeys.A. catB. ratC. sheepD. horseing somatic cells to clone monkeys can help with all of the following EXCEPT ______.A. saving time when cultivating genetically identical offspringB. treating all neural diseasesC. reducing experiment costsD. producing effective drugs39.What does the underlined sentence mean?A. Different species should use the same drugs.B. Drugs that work on mice mustn’t be used on humans.C. If drugs work on humans, we can use them on mice.D. Drugs that work on species which are similar to humans can reduce the possibility of negative effects on humans.40.In which part of a newspaper may you read the passage?A. ScienceB. EnvironmentC. CultureD. Fashion(E)A British man has learned the skills to put on Beijing Opera（京剧）. He makes people enjoy his lively shows of the Monkey King.Ghaffar Pourazar was born in Iran. He said he had been a big fan of Bruce Lee and owned great interest in Chinese culture. In 1993, he happened to watch Beijing Opera in London from Jingju Theatre Company of Beijing. Ghaffar loved colorful costumes（戏服）, beautiful voices, excellent shows and so on. After one year, he reached China alone and came a student of Beijing Opera at a Beijing school.At the age of 32, he had to learn with younger students every day, starting from the most basic training of the legs and gestures. At that time, he was always troubled by the conversations in Beijing Opera. To him, it was the biggest problem. However, he never gave up.Five years later, he started to learn to act out the Monkey King, a traditional character from the Chinese classic（经典的）story, Journey to the West. He said he got to the workroom an hour earlier than other actors and also bought books and CDs to understand the characters better.Ghaffar today is not only good at speaking Beijing dialect（方言）but also famous in Beijing Opera. He once got a top international prize for acting out the Monkey King.To help more people enjoy Beijing Opera, Ghaffar often teaches the traditional art form in schools of different countries. When he found that the language was difficult to understand, he could translate（翻译）Beijing Opera song lyrics（歌词）. Ghaffar took a group of actors to show 66 times in a month and a half in America. He also took a 48-member team to show in Malaysia. Over 400 shows have been put on by him and his team in the past 10 years.41.What did Ghaffar start to do in 1994?A.

You know my hometown Scotland is famous for its awful weather —always cold and rainy! But I’m lucky with the weather here this year.

However, we don’t always understand it. We think of unlocking our self-improvement power only when everything gets worst.When do we realize that we need to change diets? When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates? When all of our teeth have fallen off. We see the warning signs when things get difficult.Most of us will learn about unlocking our self-improvement power only when the whole world falls apart. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change. However, change becomes more painful when we pay no attention to it.Change will happen, like it or hate it. At one point or another, we are all going to finally unlock our self-improvement power, not because the world says so, but because we realize it’s good for ourselves.Happy people don’t just accept change; they welcome it. Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change.Jane always tells everyone that she is afraid of being around groups of people. Over the years, that is what Jane has believed. Every time a great crowd come, she steps back and locks herself up in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it!If we look at things in a different way, we might have greater fun. Doing exercise three times a week would lead to a healthier life. Reading books every day would build up knowledge. And only when we are enjoying the whole process (过程) of unlocking out self-improvement power, we will realize that we can take things light and become happy.1.
