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。

Unfortunately, I had absolutely no idea what I wanted my future occupation to be. The only thing I did know was that I did not want to spend the next 45 years teaching, being a nurse or sitting in an office. But that was before the postman delivered a catalogue (目录) of courses that were being offered at the local college. As I looked through it, I was attracted by a page that talked about the difficulties faced by deaf people in their everyday lives and how students could help by learning sign language. It went on to say that graduates of the course usually find work in different organizations, such as law companies, the Stock Exchange, insurance companies and banks. Then I saw something that really caught my eye: “Singer” are also nee ded for sporting events, concerts, theatrical performances and, believe it or not, circuses! By the time I got to the bottom of the page, I knew I had found the perfect occupation.I enrolled (注册) on the course, which to my parents’ great delight was free of charge. The course was brilliant. My favourite part was the final lesson, when our teacher asked us to sign our favourite song. It was really difficult because not only did we have to sign the words, but we also had to find a way of showing whether the song was happy or sad and whether the beat was slow or fast. It was the hardest thing I have ever done—but also the most rewarding.1．The only thing the writer knew that she .A．was too old to find a job as a teacherB．wanted to work as a nurse in a hospitalC．had never liked being in a teacher’s officeD．would not get a job until she was at least 452．According to the catalogue the writer read, when students finish a sign language course, they .A．do not have to work with deaf peopleB．can work in many types of different placesC．may not always find a job in their chosen fieldD．almost always start their career in a law company3．The part of the course the writer enjoyed the most was when .A．she should sing a song with a fast beatB．she should sign a song for the last lessonC．her teacher sang a very sad song to the classD．she realized that her parents didn’t have to pay4．Which of the following best describes the writer?A．A young woman who has found her ideal career.B．A young deaf woman who wants to help the deaf.C．A young woman who wants to be a businesswoman.D．A young woman who wants to write songs for the deaf.E17、Last Sunday evening, my parents went out for a walk with my sister.

Let yourself evaporate(蒸发)into the wind, and it can take you across, "said the desert."Give up what I am now? No! No!"The little river could not accept this idea."The wind can carry the vapor(蒸汽)across the desert and let it leave as rain.

It is an interesting place and it has a long history. Macao is a part of China and most people living there are Chinese.The first Europeans to go to Macao came from Portugal. More than four hundred years ago the Portuguese went there to trade（做生意）with China. Some settled and made their homes there. They built strong forts（城堡）to guard the city and the harbor（港口）. They also built churches, schools, hospitals and other places. Slowly the city grew. People from many countries came to live and work in Macao.Today many people visit Macao. Some only go there to watch dog-racing or motor-racing or to “gamble ”with their money, whether they lose or win. But Macao is a quiet and peaceful place. It is pleasant just to walk around and look at the old buildings and forts. You feel you are back in the old days. Of course, some of the buildings are now in ruins（毁坏）. The Church of St. Paul has only the front wall with many steps leading up to it. But it is still interesting to see. When you are hot and tired, there are small cool gardens to rest in. When you are hungry, there are good restaurants with many kinds of food. Nearby are some islands, which are also nice to visit and are easy to get to.

He walked for two days but he still couldn’t find his way out. Dying for water, he found an empty house in the desert. There was a water pump(水泵）in the house!The man was so happy that he ran to draw water. But no water how hard he tried, no matter came out.He was sitting sadly on the ground when he saw a little bottle with a cork in it. On the bottle, there was an old note saying: Y ou must add the water into the pump before you can draw water! Don’t forget to fill it with water again before you leave! The man took the cork out and found the bottle was full of water!If I’m selfish（自私的）, as long as I drink the water, I can go out of this room alive, he thought. If I do as the note says, I might die of thirst. Should I take the risk or not?At last, he decided to do as the note said and began to draw water. Sure enough, lots of water started coming out from the pump!After he drank enough, he filled the bottle with water and added his words after the note.“Believe me, do as the note tells you!” he wrote.1．What does the underlined word “draw” in the second paragraph mean?A．绘画B．汲取C．抽签D．抽奖2．Which of the following sentences is right according to the passage?A．The man saw an old note under the bottle.B．The man took the cork out and drank the water in the bottle.C．The man added his words after the note because he wanted others to do as the note said.D．The man forgot to fill the bottle with water before he left the house.3．What is the correct order to draw water according to the note?a.Draw water from the pump.b.Take the cork out of the bottle.c.Add the water from the bottle into the pump.A．abc B．bac C．cab D．bca4．What is the story trying to tell us most?A．Sometimes being selfish is the best choice.B．It’s important not to be selfish.C．It’s selfish taking risks when you have troubles.D．Don’t believe strange notes until yo u make sure they are correct.C15、In the 1950s, a female swimming athlete set a goal for herself. She decided to swim across the English Channel before she retired. If she could make it, she would be the first person in the world who did it.On that day, she jumped into the sea without any hesitation and swam towards the opposite bank.In the journey, she faced heavy fog, heavy rain and heavy waves. Though she was very tired, she carried on swimming. But in the end, she gave up. And what she didn't know at the moment she gave up was that the opposite bank was only I mile away.Later people asked her about the reason. And she said:"The reason why I gave up is that I could not see the destination which I was so close to."Too many success stories have been lecturing us about courage and persistence(坚持). But they never told us where to find courage and persistence.You can have courage only when you know where your goal is. You can manage to persist only when you know where your goal is, and prepare yourself well mentally(心理上).Courage and persistence never fall from the sky. They come from weighing between input and output.A life without goals is like a ship without a compass. It goes nowhere. There is no courage or persistence in a life without goals.1．In paragraph 1, the underlined word "it" refers to _______.A．being retiredB．swimming across the English ChannelC．swimming towards the bankD．setting a goal2．________ is not mentioned in the passage.A．FogB．WavesC．RainD．Wind3．The underlined word "weighing" in paragraph 8 probably mean _______.A．权衡B．有……重C．称重量D．有分量4．Why did the athlete give up?

Often a day that starts out bad just continues to get worse. Sometimes there’s a “domino effect(多米诺效应)” with bad events. For example, you sleep through the alarm, so you’re stressed. And you will sit in the bad traffic, which will also make you late for work, etc.How can we turn a bad day to a good day? Here are some ideas that have worked for me:Smile a lotSmiling a lot will help you feel relaxed. Research has shown that smiling produces three useful chemicals which make us feel good.Talk to a good friendKeeping bad or unhappy things in your mind is not a good idea. Talking to someone who cares and listen really does help us feel better, too.Concentrate on your good thingsIt’s hard to concentrate on how bad things are when you’re concentrating on how good things are! Think of 10 or more things you’re thankful for, and you’ll achieve a whole new outlook(人生观) on your day.Get some exerciseIf you can, go for a walk. Exercising will help you feel better. Exercising can get your day back to be normal again. Make the day a challengeIf you make yourself think of the day as a challenge, you’ll start to do all the things you can to make your day better.根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填入题前括号内。

Her reaction (反应) was so strong that it made everyone in her group nervous. She finally got the bug off her, but then it landed on another woman in the group. Now it was her turn to continue the reaction.A waiter rushed to their table. The second woman managed to get the bug onto the waiter. The waiter stood quietly and looked at the bug on his shirt.While remaining calm, he carefully picked up the bug with his fingers and then threw it out of a window. People around him were surprised.Watching the event go on, I started wondering: Was the bug the reason for their behaviors? If so, then why was the waiter not troubled? He solved the problem perfectly without any mess.In fact, it was not the bug, but the ability of those people to deal with the trouble caused by the bug that influenced the women.Then I realized that it was not the shouting of my father or my boss or my wife that influenced me, but my ability to deal with the trouble caused by their shouting that influenced me. It’s not the traffic jams on the road that troubles me, but the lack of my ability to deal with the mess caused by the traffic jams that troubles me.It is not the problem, but my reaction to the problem that creates trouble in my life. 34．From the story, we can know that the second woman ________.A．was not scared because she was strong B．continued watching the event go on C．threw the bug back on the first woman D．reacted the same way as the first woman 35．Which of the following is the right order of the story?①The waiter helped solve the problem.①The big bug landed on a woman.①The woman tried to get off the bug.①The writer realized what created trouble.A．①①①①B．①①①①C．①①①①D．①①①①36．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．The waiter stayed calm when trouble hit.B．It was the women who caused the trouble.C．The two women were able to deal with big bugs.D．The bug was the cause of people’s different behaviors.37．The writer thinks ________ are the most important when facing difficult situations. A．attitudes and experiences B．causes and resultsC．one’s ability and reaction D．one’s goals and plansSales of electric vehicles (EVs), like electric cars and electric buses, grew 40 percent last year worldwide. Nearly a third of drivers want their next car to be electric.But EVs are nothing new. Scottish inventor Robert Anderson developed the first electric carriage (马车) around 1832, then William Morrison of Iowa perfected the model years later. By the turn of the century, nearly a third of all road cars in the US were electric. One of the earliest fans of electric cars, Thomas Edison said that electric cars would need to depend on powerful batteries (电池), though he was unsuccessful in developing one himself. However, one of today’s best-known electric car companies called Tesla has successfully produced electric ones.EVs are becoming more affordable though some of them are still expensive. Tesla’s latest one will start at $200,000, while the cheapest model is $41,000. Plenty of others are even more affordable. Companies like Nissan and Chevy all offer models for around $30,000. Meanwhile, many states in the US will offer buying incentives (刺激) if people are choosing an electric car.In China, there are about 49,000 public energy stations outside, which make it easy to get electricity. But for most electric car owners, charging (充电) at home is the way to go. It takes longer, but you can do it overnight when electricity is cheapest.Most EVs get about 250 miles from a full charge, which is far less than the distance most gas-powered cars can go on a full tank. But EVs are catching up. Tesla comes the closest. Its 2020 Model S gets about 400 miles on a single charge, and the newer 2021 one gets closer to 500. Charging technology is also improving. For example, BMW makes afast-charging system that adds about 60 miles of drive in about six minutes.EVs produce far fewer wastes than common cars do, however, they aren’t without environmental problems. For example, coal is still burned to create the electricity that charges them. EV production is also harmful because of the need to extract lithium (提炼锂) for the batteries.38．Paragraph 2 mainly tells us ________ of EV.A．the inventors B．the salesC．the advantages D．the development39．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．The price of EVs is keeping rising these days.B．Half of the families will choose EVs in the near future.C．Producing an EV will also cause an environmental problem.D．It’s still difficult to get charged while driving an EV outside.40．How does the writer show the improvement of charging technology in Paragraph 5? A．By listing numbers.B．By expressing ideas.C．By making examples.D．By comparing differences.41．The passage is written to ________.A．introduce the facts about EVsB．guide people how to save electricityC．encourage people to choose EVsD．make people know the history of EVsMedicine development is a risky and expensive business. Many possibly effective medicine fails to cut the mustard during the experiments. One reason is that medicine which works on lab animals may not work quite so well in human tests. Being able to pick winners and losers as early as possible would save money, and the One Health Company thinks it may have found a way. It is offering to help medical groups test their cancer medicine on sick pets.There are several benefits (益处). By treating animals with cancers, it hopes to avoid a problem with modern animal research, which is that the “model” animals and diseases that are used to test medicine are not always good stand-ins (替身) for the natural illness. For example, mice used to test cancer medicine may have had their turnours (肿瘤) placed into their bodies, or their immune systems (免疫系统) weakened with medicine.Another benefit is that pet owners who are very knowledgeable about their four-leggedfriends can take care of their pets. They are likely to report even small changes in behaviors. However, lab animals are checked far less often.Perhaps the most useful aspect of using pets for medicine experiments, however, is that there is no law on animals’ medical records. One Health has been able to get 98% of records on animals from hospitals—a number that is impossible for humans. That allows the company to find the right animals for a medicine experiment.Based on the benefits above, the company hopes that pets will prove useful in other diseases in addition to cancers. Horses, for example, seem to be good stand-ins for humans when it comes to arthritis (关节炎). Cats, meanwhile, may prove instructive in breast cancer research.42．What do the underlined words “cut the mustard” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Meet the requirements.B．Reduce the pain.C．Affect the test results.D．Tell the differences.43．Which of the following is NOT a benefit of One Health’s idea?A．It makes sure the animals with natural diseases are used.B．It makes sure the model animals are checked more often.C．It makes sure most animals’ medical records are possible to get.D．It makes sure the model animals are in healthy condition.44．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?A．B．C．D．45．What’s the main idea of this passage?A．How to help sick pets at a low price.B．How to improve medicine experiments. C．How to save the medicine business.D．How to treat some pet diseases.四、根据汉语提示填空46．The days of _______ are windy and clear.
