I think I can enjoy horse riding, walking and fishing. They’ll make a change from 4．(sit) by the seaside and swimming.”He wrote to the farmer. In the letter he said that he would like to spend all of July there. Then on the first day of July, he left 5．West Hill Farm.But four days later, he returned home.“What was wrong 6．West Hill Farm?” his best friend, Ed, asked him. “Didn’t you enjoy country life?” “Country life was very good,” Henry said. “But there was another problem.”“Oh. What?”“Well,” he said, “the first day I was there a sheep died, and we had roast mutton for dinner.”“What’s wrong with that?” Ed asked. “Fresh meat is the best.”“I know, but on the 7．(two) day a cow d ied, and we had roast beef for dinner.”“How 8．(luck) you are!”“You don’t understand,” Henry said. “On the third day a pig died and we had roast pork for dinner.”“A different meat every day,” Ed said 9．(loud), “and what are you complaining!”“Let me finish,” Henry said. “on the fourth day the farmer 10．(dead), and I didn’t dare (敢) stay for dinner!”Ⅳ. 阅读理解A13、It was Sunday. Henry did some shopping and then went to the car park. He was about to start the car when a robber(强盗) stood up from the back s eat. He held a knife to Henry's head. “Give me your money and drive me to North Street.” he shouted.“All right,” Henry answered. Then he started the car and drove away. Being 72 years old, he knew he could not fight the young robber. He knew he needed help. Where were the police? As he drove towards each crossing, he looked up and down the side streets, and hoped that he could meet a police car. But he could see none. “Just my luck,” he thought. “If I was driving too fast, there would be a police car on e very corner.”So he pushed his foot down on the accelerator(油门), and the car ran much faster. “What are you doing?” shouted the robber. “Keeping off the police,” Henry answered. “I thought I saw a police car back there.”He ran red lights, drove the wrong way on one-way streets. On two-way streets he drove on the wrong side of the road. Not one policeman saw him. Again Henry’s plan was not working.

We were on the bus then. I was crying, andsome people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I wassaying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I wasgoing to see-the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country Iwas leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism (乐观主义), but the idea did notcome to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost-having to study in threeschools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and Igot used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.From my experiences I have learned one important rule：Almost all common troubles eventually go away!Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.1．How did the author get to know America?A．From her relatives. B．From her mother.C．From books and pictures. D．From radio programs.2．The writer felt_______ upon leaving for America.A．worried B．upset C．amazed D．excited3．For the first two years in New York, the author .A．often lost her wayB．did not think about her futureC．studied in three different schoolsD．got on well with her stepfather4．What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4?A．She worked as a translator.B．She attended a lot of job interviews.C．She paid telephone bills for her family.D．She helped her family with her English. .5．The author believes that .A．her future will be free from troublesB．it is difficult to learn to become patientC．there are more good things than bad thingsD．good things will happen if one keeps tryingC15、China’s Manned Space Program1．According to the article, the Chinese spaceman traveling in space twice is ____________.A．Y ang Liwei B．Fei Junlong C．Nie Haisheng D．Zhai Zhigang2．Shenzhou V went around the earth in space _____________.A．Once B．4 times C．5 times D．14 times3．Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng stayed in space for _____________.A．1 day B．4 days C．5 days D．14 days4．Zhai Zhigang made our country’s first spacewalk in _____________.A．2013 B．2008 C．2005 D．20035．The space lesson about micro-gravity to all Chinese teenagers lasted _____________.A．one day B．three days C．15 minutes D．40 minutesD16、Editor’s note: do you care about the environment (环境)? Have you ever wanted to help protect it ? Well read on, as this month we’re going to hear from overseas teens about what they do to help the environment.I can’t remember when I started collecting litter(垃圾). But it was when I got tired of seeing litter near my home and realized that no one else was going to pick it up.I live close to a forest in Ohio, America. I can walk there in three minutes!I used to love going there to play with my dog. But one day there was so much litter there that I became very unhappy. I decided I had to clean up the forest. I wanted to feel happy going there again.I made my first trip to clean the forest that afternoon. I took a big black rubbish bag with me. Ten minutes after starting to pick up litter, my bag was full! It had cans, bottles, broken glass and newspapers in it.Since that first trip three years ago. I’ve gone to the forest four times a year to pick up litter. I’m often there for three hours. It makes me feel great to do something for the environment.After each trip, I look at all the litter I’ve found. If a ny of it is recyclable(可回收的), I keep it.I can’t understand why people drop litter. But I will keep picking it up until they stop dropping it.I know I am only doing a small bit to help the earth, but I still think it is important.1．When did the writer make the first trip to clean the forest?A．When he was ten years old. B．Three years ago.C．When he went to a forest. D．When he was playing with his dog.2．What did he take when he went to the forest to pick up the litter?A．A book B．A dogC．A black car D．big rubbish bag3．What were not mentioned in this passage?A．cans B．bottlesC．broken glass D．old books4．How many times has the writer gone to the forest a year to pick up litter?A．Three times B．Four timesC．two times D．Six times5．Why did the writer start collecting litter?A．To help the earth B．To make some moneyC．To help other people D．To clean the forestE17、阅读理解。

ABrecon Beacons YAC has an amazing opportunity for budding(崭露头角的) archaeologists(考古学家)of all ages,in Sunderland in Tyne and Wear.Thanks to funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund,professional archaeologists from Wardell Armstrong will be investigating an archaeological mystery and they need your help.Romans?“The site is a bit of a mystery”,Frank Giecco from Wardell Armstrong said.“There is a very nice cropmark recorded on the site that has got lots of people very excited.Geophysicists (地质物理学家)failed to find anything related to the cropmark.There is anecdotal(趣闻的) evidence of Roman material being found,but nothing is officially recorded.We hope to finally answer the question of what is in this field,during the two weeks on site.Is there evidence of any Roman occupation on the site?Can you help us find out?Get involvedThis is an opportunity for both adults and children to take part in field walking and trial trenching(small hand-dug test pits for children).No experience is necessary,training will be provided by the professional archaeologists from Wardell Armstrong,and all equipment will be provided.Volunteers can attend for as few or as many days as they wish,but they do need to book a place.For more information,and to book your place,please contact Norman Kirtlan at***********************************.21.What’s the main purpose of the activity?A.To seek funding for archaeological research.B.To find volunteers to help solve an archaeological mystery.C.To appeal for help in proving findings based on anecdotal evidence.D.To organize volunteers to help sort out data on the Roman occupation.22.Which of the following statement might be true if you take part in the activity?A.You will be coached by experts in the field.B.You should have worked with archaeologists before.C.You should spare two weeks to stay at the site.D.You will be charged for using equipment.23.Who is the activity probably intended for?A.Romans.B.Experts.C.Officials.D.FamiliesBKiska,the last captive(圈养的)killer whale in Canada---also known as“the loneliest whale in the world”----has died,according to local media.The whale,believed to be47years old,died on March9,2023.Ontario’s Solicitor General Ministry spokesperson Brent Ross confirmed to CBC.Kiska,who spent overfour decades in captivity,lived at Marineland,a zoo and amusement park in Niagara Falls, after being captured in Icelandic waters in1979alongside Keiko,the star of the movie Free Willy.Marineland said that Kiska’s health had declined in recent weeks.The news comes four years after the country officially banned whales and dolphins from being bred or held in captivity.However,marine mammals like Kiska that were already held in captivity would remain so,according to the new law.Kiska’s death marks the end of captive whales in Canada.People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals(PETA)said Kiska“spent her final years isolated in a tank,swimming in endless circles or sometimes floating listlessly.”Kiska’s life of continued isolation led the Whale Sanctuary Project to describe her as “the loneliest whale in the world.”Both animal rights groups reported that Kiska died of a bacterial infection.Ross told CBC that animal welfare officials had conducted a necropsy(尸检)of the mammal.Kiska underwent several hardships while living at the amusement park,according to PETA.These included the deaths of all five of her children and the departure of her sole tankmate Ikaika in2011.Videos of Kiska slamming her head against her tank wall multiple times began circulating on social media in2021.Kiska was one of the last survivors of the Icelandic captures back in the1970s.She lived the last12years of her life completely along,no other whales or in fact any other species were there to keep her company.“It is heartbreaking to know that Kiska will never have the chance to be relocated to a whale reserve and experience the freedom that she so deeply deserved.”Camille Labchuk, executive director of Animal justice,told CBC.There are at least55killer whales being held in captivity in marine parks around the world,according to the Whale and Dolphin Conservation.Killer whales are known to be very social mammals and are not suitable for captivity.Chronic stress can weaken the immune system and physiology of captive killer whales,leading to illness and even death.24.Which of the following statement is true about Kiska?A.She died as the last captive killer whale in the world.B.She was captured in the ocean more than40years ago.C.She was a star in a film called Free Willy.D.She should have been set free according to a new law passed in2019.25.Why Kiska was referred to as“the loneliest whale in the world”?A.Because Kiska’s death marks the end of captive whales in Canada.B.Because Kiska was kept alone after a bacterial infection.C.Because Kiska lived the last12years of her life without company.D.Because all five of Kiska’s children died ahead of her.26.What does the underlined word listlessly probably means in the text?A.Without enthusiasm.B.Without destination.C.Without breath.D.Without effort.27.What is the best title of the text?A.It’s time we stop catching killer whalesB.The death of a killer whale leads to a new law in CanadaC.Kiska,the last survivor of the Icelandic captures,has diedD.Kiska,“the loneliest whale in the world”,dies in CanadaCNow a company is launching a new robot on personal service machines.Rather than keeping you company at home,GITA(pronounced Jee-Tah)helps you go hands-free while you walk down the street,to the grocery store or to visit your neighbors.Like the name, which means“outing”in Italian,the robotic servant is for short trips out and about.Designed by the Piaggio Group,the smart device uses five cameras to see you,follow you around and carry up to40pounds of your belongings for four hours.It’s similar to those robotic suitcases that trail behind you at the airport,but with an entirely different outside. Picture a large container but on wheels.That’s what GITA looks like in the flagship orange color.Imagine having a hi-tech that can follow you around with your shopping inside.It’s round and strong yet relatively smart and convenient.The robotic helper is a joy to engage with,sort of like a dog.Operating GITA is simple.You just press one button to turn it on,one button for the cameras to scan your legs,and you’re off.It actually does pretty good job of following you and recognizing when you change directions.Its movement is oddly natural.When you speed up it falls behind a bit before trying to catch up,and when you stop.it stops-usually.GITA operates best on hard surfaces.However,it can’t go upstairs.It can roll on slight inclines(斜坡)and keep up with a walking person at speeds up to6miles per hour.A system of sounds and lights will let you know whether it is unpaired or needs a charge. And an app lets you share your robot with your“crew”,so it can follow them,too.With a speaker,your GITA can carry candy and play theme music as you take the kids trick-or-treating.A USA TODAY tech reporter gave GITA a test run in2019.He said,“GITA certainly made quite an impression on passers-by as it rolled down New York’s busy Madison Avenue.”Yet having tech trail behind you takes some getting used to.You can’t help but look behind you to make sure it’s keeping up,somewhat like monitoring a pet.28.For what purpose is the new robot designed?A.To instruct you where to go.B.To serve you as you walk around.C.To accompany you at home.D.To protect you when you’re traveling.29.What does the new robot probably look like?A.It looks like a royal dog.B.It has flags and smart panels.C.It is round,orange and can roll of itself.D.It resembles cameras in appearance.30.Which of the following is true about GITA?A.It can roll up a sharp slope at a high speed.B.It can only recognize and follow its owner.C.It can adjust its pace automatically.D.It can play tricks for children.31.What can we learn about GITA from the last paragraph?A.People are heavily dependent on it.B.It is far from being put into use.C.It is easy to get lost and needs to be improved.ers have difficulty accustoming themselves to it at first.DSalad plants have already been grown in old shelters and tunnels.Urban farming is a regular topic of interest at places like the World Economic Forum(WEF)in Davos,where leaders consider whether the world’s food system,blamed for causing both obesity and malnutrition,can be fixed.There are already plenty of urban farming projects around the world,particularly in the US,Japan and the Netherlands,from urban fish and plant farms to vertical farming.“It’s becoming an expanding industry,”said Richard Ballard,one of the founders of the farm Growing Underground.“There are several other businesses starting up in London in containers,and there are other vertical farms around the country now.”Growing Underground is not a standard farm.The rows of crops could be in almost any tunnel,but these plants are100feet below Clapham High Street and show that urban agriculture is,in some cases at least,not a fad.The underground farm has occupied a part of the Second World War air-raid shelters for nearly five years,and Ballard is planning to expand into the rest of the space later this year.Growing Underground supplies herb and salad mixes to grocery shops,supermarkets and restaurants.Being in London creates an advantage,Ballard says,as they can harvest and deliver in an hour.He adds other advantages.Being underground means temperatures never go below15 ----surface greenhouses need to be heated.They can do more harvests:60crops a year, compared with about seven in a traditional farm.Electricity to power the lights is a major cost, but the company believes renewable energy will become cheaper.Similar British companies include the Jones Food Company in Lincolnshire,while in the US AeroFarms has several projects in New Jersey,and Edenworks in Brooklyn.32.What can we learn about urban farming?A.Different farming methods are used.B.Local governments pay efforts to develop it.C.It leads to a healthier lifestyle.D.It is rarely discussed at the WEF.33.Which of the following best explains“a fad”underlined in Paragraph3?A.A plan that has great potential.B.A tradition that appeals to a lot of people.C.An approach that can solve a serious problem.D.A fashion that’s popular for a short time.34.Which of the following is true about the underground farm?A.Its major products are herbs and salads.B.It produces more kinds of foods than a traditional farm.C.It is more productive than a traditional farm.D.It uses less energy than a greenhouse.35.What is the theme of the text?A.Traditional farming will be replaced soon.B.Growing Underground attracts more people.C.Current food system causes health problems.D.Urban farming is still thought costly and time-consuming.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
