Environmentalists (环境保护主义者) believe the problem has been caused by water companies and weak regulation (监管). Some of them have come to river banks to make their voices heard.Surfers Against Sewage (污水) is a charity of water lovers. On April 23, thousands of the group's members gathered on river banks across the country. Their marches attracted large numbers of people. The beach-loving public are calling for an end to the dumping of waste water into the UK’s bathing waters (浴场水城) by 2030.In Manningtree and Essex, people went on a march by the River Stour. Many of the swimmers dressed up in mermaid costumes. One of the signs on the site said, “Don’t be mean (卑鄙的). Keep water clean.”Anglian Water is a water company in the east of England. Last year, it poured raw sewage (未经处理的污水) into the River Stour 389 times. This happened over a period of time of more than 4,000 hours. The company said it was spending millions of pounds in order to deal with this problem.Anna Baxter organized the Manningtree march. She said that the situation was “completely unacceptable”. According to data, water companies poured raw sewage into British rivers 372,533 times last year, for a total of more than 2.6 million hours. Also, every single one of England’s rivers failed a pollution test in 2020.Hugh Tagholm, CEO of Surfers Against Sewage, said, “When I go for a surf, when my son goes for a swim, or when anyone takes the time to enjoy the UK’s blue spaces, we shouldn’t have to do this at the risk of getting sick from sewage”.41．What is Surfers Against Sewage in Paragraph 2?A．People who like surfing B．A charity C．A companyD．Environmentalists42．Why do some environmentalists come to river banks?A．They want to swim.B．They want to surf.C．They want to attract people.D．They want strong regulation. 43．Where did the people dressing up in mermaid costumes go on a march?A．In the UK’s bathing waters.B．In Manningtree.C．In Anglian Water.D．In Manningtree and Essex. 44．Which of the following is True?A．Anglian Water spent thousands of pounds to deal with this problem.B．Anna Baxter thought the water pollution was completely acceptable.C．Hugh Tagholm said they didn’t want to get ill when doing water sports.D．Most of the England’s rivers passed a pollution test in 2020.45．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．People came together against water pollution.B．Water pollution was caused by weak regulation.C．Water companies poured too much waste into rivers.D．People can’t enjoy water sports safely.四、阅读填表阅读下面的短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，每个空格只填一个单词。

Before we started on our road trip, we packed up the car with snacks, water, and music. Thankfully, we also had our GPS packed. A few hours into the trip, we took a wrong turn. But our trusty GPS pulled up a map of that area and got us back or track in no time. It made me wonder: Who creates maps in the first place? After some searching online I learned that the people who map out roads, mountains, oceans and other places around the world are called cartographers (制图师). I did some reading about the career. Here’s what I found:What does a cartographer do?Cartographers, also called mapmakers, study and interpret (诠释) geographic information. They use this information to make detailed maps of places around the world. Some of these maps are digital (数字的). They are often used in GPS systems. Other maps are printed in books. To do their work, cartographers put together information from manydifferent places. They also use ground surveys. Some do ground surveys themselves. Most cartographers, however, depend on surveyors (测绘员) for this important information. Surveyors collect information for mapmaking. They measure land, air space, and water areas.What does it take to be a cartographer?Most cartographers have a bachelor (学士) degree. The degree might be in cartography (制图学), geography, or something similar. Students who are interested in becoming cartographers should learn as much as they can about geography. It also helps to take courses in maths and computer science.With the rise of computer-based tools such as GPS systems, cartographers need stronger computer skills than they did in the past.How much do cartographers make?The average (平均) yearly salary (薪水) for cartographers is $54, 000. The lowest 10 percent earns (挣钱) less than $32, 000. The top 10 percent earns more than $92, 000.________In the U. S., job opportunities (机会) for cartographers are expected to grow. This is because of the increasing use of maps in the army. Also, digital maps have increasingly become a main part of many GPS systems and Web sites.Based on what I’ve read about cartographers, I’d say that their work is very important to a lot of people. Next time a map keeps me from getting lost, I’ll be sure to thank a cartographer!31．In Para 1, the author included his experience in order to ________.A．prove that a GPS is only needed when driving to another placeB．show that it is important to pack snacks for a tripC．provide a reason why a mapmaker’s work is importantD．show that the GPS is not always reliable (可靠的)32．Surveyors can do all these following things except ________.A．do some measuring B．do some mapping C．collect informationD．do ground surveys33．Elizabeth begins working as a cartographer with a starting salary of $37, 500. Every year, her salary increases by $1, 500. If she continues in this position, her salary will be ________ for her 12th year of work.A．of average B．below averageC．of the lowest 10 percent D．of the top 10 percent34．Which one can be put in the blank?A．Will more cartographers be needed?B．Will the cartographers be replaced by robots?C．Why is it hard for cartographers to find jobs?D．Why do cartographers makedifferent maps?35．The article would be most useful as a source for a student research project on ________.A．career choosing for people interested in geographyB．career possibilities for people who dislike mathsC．famous explorers and mapmakersD．necessary jobs for computermenI grew up in the countryside of Poland (波兰). It’s an area where skiing is popular, but my family was poor. I couldn’t afford to ride the ski lift (运送滑雪者的吊椅), so I used to hike up with the skis on my back. It turned out that this was good practice.K2 (乔戈里峰) is nicknamed “savage (野蛮的) mountain”. You hear sad stories: For every four people who reach the top of the mountain, one dies. I was too afraid to even think about skiing down it. Even the best mountain climbers thought it impossible.But that changed after a training expedition (考察) to Broad Peak. I got a clear look at K2’s massive face, and it encouraged me. Over time, my skills improved and, by 2017, I didn’t feel the fear anymore. I began preparations.Why try such a feat (壮举)? I love nature, and I love setting goals. To be the first to do it just adds to the challenge. Fear is an important part of life, but to ski down K2, I had to stop being afraid.At the base camp, I felt calm and prepared. There were no moods or doubts — I just knew I could do it. But there were challenges. At the third base camp, 7,000 meters up, my safety guy suffered serious back pain. We waited for 36 hours after he got better, and I decided to continue. In total, it took about three days to reach the top.For many climbers, getting to the top of K2 would be the defining (决定性) moment of their lives. For me, it was where the real challenge began. Skiing down a mountain requires patience and endurance (耐力).The most dangerous part was the Messner Traverse. It’s pure ice, up to a 75-degree angle in places, with drops on either side. You need to keep your turns and movements smooth and confident. No one had tried it before, so it was a relief (解脱) to cross it.In total, going down the mountain took about seven hours. When I finally skied into camp, I simply lay in the snow, tired in both mental and body.I’m so proud of what I achieved. No one thought it could be done. It taught me the value of patience and that nobody else can make your dreams come true.36．What do we know from the first paragraph?A．Skiing was the national sport of Poland.B．The writer had a strong will to ski.C．The writer was born into a family of skiers.D．The writer’s family provided him with good skiing practice.37．What is the purpose of Paragraph 2?A．To introduce how K2 got its nickname.B．To show that K2 is very hard to climb.C．To explain why the writer wanted to ski down K2.D．To describe the original (原来的) appearance of K2.38．What was the most important factor (因素) in challenging K2 according to the writer?A．Modern equipment (装备).B．Skilled safety guards (安保人员).C．Some main knowledge of K2.D．A positive (积极的) opinion without fear.39．Which word best describes the writer?A．Curious.B．Creative.C．Brave.D．Careful. 40．What did the writer learn from his experience?A．We should always have self-confidence.B．Support is needed to realize dreams.C．It takes patience and effort to succeed.D．One should always dream big.①What do a student in China, an office worker in the UK and an astronaut in space all have in common? They all eat instant noodles (方便面). And they’re not alone—over 100 billion servings (一份) of instant noodles are sold around the world each year, making them one of the world’s most successful industrial foods (大规模生产的加工食品). But how did this happen?②Put simply, they’re cheap to produce and cheap to buy, which was exactly what their creator (发明者) expected. Momofuku Ando, a Japanese businessman, spent a year improving the recipe (配方) just after the Second World War. He wanted to make something similar to traditional Japanese ramen noodles (拉面). He used the wheat flour (面粉) donated to Japan by the US government. His creation was quickly popular, playing an important role in Japan’s economic (经济) rise after the war. Even in the year 2000 – according to a poll by the Fuji Research Institute – instant noodles were voted Japan’s most successful invention. They were much more popular than high-speed trains, laptops or karaoke.③But Japanese people are not alone in their devotion to instant noodles. According to the World’s Instant Noodles Association, China, Indonesia, Vietnam (越南) and India—in that order—the sales of instant noodles in these countries were all bigger than Japan in 2021. Instant noodles’ popularity abroad simply depends on how easy they are to adapt to (适应) local tastes. In Thailand, for example, you can get green curry flavour (味道), while in Mexico the noodles are decorated with lime and salsa. And it seems that buyers have grown to expect new creation. Nissin, the food company set up by Ando, created over 300 products yearly, just in Japan, according to employee Kasura Suzuki.④Different from those who love instant noodles, Some people do not like the noodles very much. Their rise in popularity has come at an environmental cost—they’re made with palm oil (棕榈油), as a result, more trees are cut down. Also, their packaging is plastic. And while they are a hot, tasty and filling meal, instant noodles don’t have much nutritional (营养的) value, and include high levels of salt and fat. Anyway, instant noodles are undoubtedly lifesavers in emergency or extreme (极端) situations.⑤More than 60 years after their invention, instant noodles have become the default (默认) food for anyone short on money, time, or even a kitchen.41．How many servings of instant noodles are eaten around the world yearly?A．Over 100 billion.B．More than 60.C．Over 300.D．2000.42．What kind of Instant noodles did the creator want to make?A．Nutritional.B．Salty.C．Cheap.D．Convenient (方便).43．The sales of the instant noodles depend on how well people like the noodles. Which country ate the most instant noodles in 2021? Please choose the correct order.A．Japan > India > China > Indonesia > VietnamB．India > China >Japan > Indonesia > VietnamC．China > India > Vietnam > Indonesia > JapanD．China > Indonesia > Vietnam > India >Japan44．What can we learn about instant noodles from the passage?A．People around the world all eat instant noodles.B．The more people eat instant noodles, the more trees may be cut down.C．Only people short of money, time, or even a kitchen choose instant noodles.D．A Japanese businessman made instant noodles the same as traditional Japanese ramen noodles.45．What is the correct structure for the passage?A．B．C．D．四、阅读填表阅读下面的短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，每个空格只填一个单词。

Aubrey wanted to help. She found a method in her engineering class at Carson Middle School. Thegoal of the class is to solve problems. In the class, students had to change existing (现有的) products to make daily life easier for people with challenges.To help Aubrey’s grandmother solve the problem, Aubrey explored existing bottle openers and then created her own. For the improved bottle opener design, she used a piece of wood shaped like a cellphone. Next, she put three holes in it. The holes were of different sizes so that they could match common bottle cap sizes. With a simple twist, her grandmother could open bottles without help.Students like Aubrey used math, physics and tool skills to help people with challenges. They also learned about empathy. “Empathy is looking at problems from another person’s point of view,” Aubrey’s teacher, Mark Bolt said. “It is of great value for engineering. You have to put yourself in the product users’ shoes to build effective solutions.”Other students in the class also applied empathy as they watched people around them struggle with daily tasks. Then they used their projects to find methods. Roman’s grandfather had trouble holding a coffee cup because of his arthritis (关节炎). So Roman made a 3D-printed finger which helped his grandfather firmly support the bottom of the cup.The class tried different ways to improve their products. Rather than giving step-by-step directions for creating their projects, Mark Bolt preferred to leave students’ creative paths open. “If we want to do better, we have to have a chance to fail,” he said.36．Why does the writer mention the bottle cap in paragraph 1?A．To show a result.B．To give an example.C．To raise a question.D．To make a comparison.37．What do we know about Aubrey’s bottle opener?A．It is made of wood.B．It is in the shape of a cap.C．It can match common cellphones.D．It has three holes of the same size. 38．What is important for engineering according to Mark Bolt?A．Being good at math and physics.B．Putting the product users’ shoes on.C．Taking users’ needs into consideration.D．Making use of different tools and skills.39．What is the reason for Roman to make a 3D-print finger?A．He suffered from arthritis.B．His grandpa’s finger was hurt.In our modern age, we do not think much about how our technology works.

With about 4.7 million people, the city has especially caught online attention since March, 2023 and become one of the most popular attractions in Shandong. How did Zibo make it? The followings may explain this.Zibo Barbecue (BBQ)Its attractive barbecue culture is the first and main reason why Zibo is so hot now. The city has been known because of its plenty of barbecue restaurants for years. The local government tries its best to create a wonderful open-air BBQ environment.When the meat and vegetables are served, people have fun grilling(烧烤) them with their own hands and then wrapping them in thin and round pancakes, usually with spring onions to add a special taste. Zibo has also offered special tourist trains and designed BBQ bus lines to let more tourists arrive directly.A kind city in difficult timesSome Internet users recommended Zibo for another reason. It played a special-role when China fought against COVID-19. Zibo first became known after a group of students from Jinan went there in March. They had to be quarantined(隔离) because of COVID-19 and they were taken good care of while they stayed there. The students also celebrated their last night in Zibo with a major BBO dinner. It is said that these students wanted to go back to Zibo and spend time there as a way to thank the city—not knowing they would help make the city famous.Power of DouyinDouyin is also at the heart of Zibo’s recent success. Zibo first became a hot topic on Douyin in early March, when the videos of the first group of students going back to Zibo to eat barbecue became popular. In April, Zibo hit the hot lists on Douyin again. One vlogger(视频博主) tried ten different food shops in the city and found that they all gave him the right kilos. These food shops even gave him some extra food for free, proving the idea that Zibo is a friendly city.五、语法填空Firefighters in Chongqing, a city in Southwest China, have put out an outbreak of major wildfires caused by extreme heatwaves in only nine days.

Born in a village in Jingning county, Gansu province, Zhu had never left his hometown in his youth. After graduating from middle school, he became a migrant worker.Zhu worked in more than 10 cities; yet no matter where he was, he went to local bookstores and took a notebook with him in order to write down paragraphs from the books and recite them. Over the years, he has read thousands of poems and can recite more than 1,000 of them.“There is an old Chinese saying: Reading 10,000 books is not as good as traveling 10,000 miles,” said Zhu. “However, for me, although I have been to many different cities, it is not for travel but to make a living. So I improve myself by reading books and poems.”Reading poetry helps Zhu stay calm and he never complains about hard work. “Whenever I face any difficulty, I think of Chairman Mao’s quotation: ‘Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it’,” he told China Daily.Because of his good performance at the poetry competition, the government in Jingning county decided to hire him to work at the local cultural center. He started to work there on March 10.31．Which word fits best in the “________” in Paragraph 1?A．creative B．energetic C．different D．confident 32．Which of the following is the right order of Zhu Yanjun’s life experience?① Zhu worked at the cultural center in Jingning county.① Zhu came second in the 2023 Chinese Poetry Competition.① Zhu graduated from middle school and became a migrant worker.① Zhu worked in more than 10 cities to make a living.A．①①①①B．①①①①C．①①①①D．①①①①A．Every dog has its day.B．Actions speak louder than words.C．Where there is a will, there is a way.D．The grass is always greener on the other side.34．What can we learn from Zhu Yanjun?A．Finding a good teacher.B．Attending poetry competitions.C．Traveling 10,000 miles.D．Never give up.35．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．A special poet B．Reading for dream C．A new star D．Travelling and readingHow much water is there on the moon? This is a question scientists have tried to answer for years. Scientists from China and the UK have now discovered that the moon may have plenty of water, according to a recent paper.Over billions of years, space rocks have hit the surface of the moon, causing the soil to melt (融化) and be pushed out suddenly into space. It is then cooled down and falls back to the lunar surface, forming beads (珠子) of glass.The Chang’e 5 probe, which returned to Earth on Dec 17, 2020, brought back a total of 1,731 grams of rocks and soil from the lunar surface, including glass beads, reported Xinhua.The international research team looked into the 32 glass beads. They found that about one ton of glass beads may include 0.5 kilograms of water. “This ‘water’ was in the form of hydrogen (氢气) included in the glass beads, which can easily be turned into the water we can use,” Hui Hejiu, one of the study authors said. Researchers thought that the water included in the glass beads could reach as much as 270 trillion kilograms.The solar wind could be the source of the water in the beads, according to the study. The glass beads have lots of holes inside to catch hydrogen from the wind.If the water in the beads is easy to get, it will be a “really big deal” for space exploration, Phil Bland, an expert in Australia said. At present, water used by astronauts during their longstays in space stations is recycled. The urine (尿液) produced and water used by an astronaut per day is about 2 kilograms. They are collected and purified (净化), and then provided to astronauts to drink. With this new finding, human settlements on the moon could have plenty of water in the future.36．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.A．the melted soil B．the space rock C．the solar wind D．the Chang’e probe37．According to the passage, eight tons of glass beads may include ________ kilograms of water.A．1731B．32C．4D．270 38．What may be the source of the water in the glass beads?A．The solar wind.B．The lunar atmosphere.C．Melting ice on the lunar surface.D．Space rocks on the lunar surface. 39．What is the present method for getting water for astronauts in space?A．By melting the ice from space rocks.B．By taking water from solar wind.C．By taking water out of the lunar soil.D．By purifying urine and water used by astronauts.40．Why is the discovery important for space exploration?A．It could help to find life on the moon.B．It means growing plants in space is possible.C．It means astronauts could get water from the moon.D．It could help make water recycling easier in space.Technology has done our world wonders: from development in medicine to our daily lives. It has undoubtedly changed the way our society works, and how we communicate withour ability to create?Technology provides a new chance for creativity to exist(存在). Through technology, ideas can be set free and come to life. We have the necessary tools for greater possibilities andnew solutions. For example, businesses now have the chance to improve themselves more creatively through websites, film advertisements, social media or radio.However, when we look more closely, it’s easy to notice some disadvantages. For example, many of us depend so much on automated calculations(计算器) rather than taking the time to work it out for ourselves. Another situation is that a lot of people are spending too much time on screens. As a result, they are reducing the chances to come up with their own creations.Is there a way to find a balance between technology and human creativity? I think so. It is simply a matter of making sure that creativity is not deterred by technology. The first way is to reduce our use of electronic products by setting limits on when, where, and how long we use them, turning off the notice on your phone. Once you become used to these, you will feel surprised how little you think about your phone.Another wonderful way is to take daily walks in nature. It can help you refresh and keep going. In the long run, a daily walk can not only influence our creativity and imagination but further our physical and mental health. We can also develop our creativity by doing yoga, keeping a diary, or reading.The actions you choose to take will help change the relationship between creativity and technology for the better. With the right balance, technology can be a good method of improving creativity.41．Why does the writer ask the underlined question in the beginning?A．To draw the reader’s attention to the topic.B．To show the writer likestechnology.C．To tell the reader the importance of technology.D．To prove creativity is more important.42．What’s Paragraph 2 mainly about?A．The importance of creativity.B．Good ways to develop technology.C．The relationship between business and creativity.D．The good influence that technology has on creativity.A．protected B．controlled C．attacked D．prevented 44．The structure of the passage may be ________.A．B．C．D．45．The writer probably agrees that ________.A．limiting the use of our phones can help us develop creativityB．turning off the notice on the phone will make people worriedC．spending time on screens is the easiest way to keep people happyD．a daily walk does more good to physical health than to mental health四、阅读填表阅读下面短文，请根据短文内容，在文后表格中填入恰当的单词，每空一词。
