What could I see during my short stay in Milan? One answer came into my mind as our taxi went past Duomo di Milano, the largest cathedral (教堂) in Italy.①The next morning my family and I made our way to the cathedral. It was just a five-minute walk from our hotel. On the roof, there are many statues (雕像). They are all about characters from Bible (圣经). Although many look lovely, I felt kind of scared when I saw a scary one. We climbed to the roof. There, we had an amazing view of the city and took lots of photos. Inside, we enjoyed the beautiful glass windows.①We then walked to the La Scala, Milan’s world-famous opera house. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but the inside is wonderful. Most of the greatest singers of the past 200 years sang there.①Between the Duomo di Milano and La Scala is the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II hallway. We went there from the opera house. Some of the top fashion brands (品牌) have shops there. The only thing we could afford to buy was ice-cream. We waited in line, watching the server make it look like a rose.

If you lost it, what would you do to get it back? Liu Mengjie found his own answers to these questions.①Liu Mengjie was from Taiwan. He started to learn to play the piano at a very young age. He was such a talent that he was accepted into a music school at only 13. He left his home to study at the Curtis Institute of Music in Pennsylvania. Liu became one of the teachers after he graduated in 1993. That was the same year that he became famous in the music world.①When Liu was 23, just a few years after an outstanding performance, he came down with a serious illness. He had a difficult time walking and his heart even stopped beating. The worst part was that he couldn’t move his fingers. The doctor said, “I am sorry. I am afraid you have to say goodbye to your piano forever.”①However, Liu surprised everyone. He practiced his fingers very hard every day after he spent one month learning how to sit up. With strong will, he kept on with hiscareer as an excellent pianist. “I feel full and alive. Looking back on this journey, I want to say thanks and I have found the true meaning of life: be strong and stick to (坚持) your dream.”8.Why was Liu Mengjie accepted into a music school at only 13?A.Because he couldn’t live without playing the piano.B.Because he was pretty talented in playing the piano.C.Because he started to learn piano when he was very young.D.Because he had to leave his home to study in a new school.9.What can we infer (推断) from the doctor’s words in Paragraph.3?A.Even after Liu Mengjie got better, he couldn’t play the piano anymore.B.It will be good for Liu Mengjie’s health if he stops playing the piano.C.Liu Mengjie could keep on playing the piano after he got better.D.It will be impossible for Liu Mengjie to be well again.10.How did Liu Mengjie feel after he kept on as an excellent pianist?A.Thankful.B.Relaxed.C.Empty.D.Tired. 11.Which is the best title (标题) for this passage?A.A Serious IllnessB.A Man of Talent and StrengthC.A Talented PianistD.A Dream in Music①As a powerful chatting robot, ChatGPT becomes really popular. It is a large language model created by OpenAI and it is one of the most wonderful AI models now. It brings big changes to people’s life in many ways, especially education.①It helps students learn in lots of personal ways. With its excellent machine learning ability, ChatGPT can know very well about each student. So it can provide students with customized (定制的) learning materials (资料). Also, students can ask it for help with their homework. For example, a student may ask, “How to find information about the history of soccer?” ChatGPT will list the names of books,museums and key websites in a few seconds (秒). By searching (搜索) on these websites, students will have a clear understanding of soccer.①For teaching. ChatGPT is a window to a large number of teaching resources (资源). It makes teachers rethink the working ways. Many kinds of easy daily work, such as test papers, planning lessons and analyzing questionnaires (分析问卷), can be done more quickly. In this way, teachers can spend more time on more complex tasks, like designing classroom activities and making teaching plans.①However, every coin has two sides. Some teachers say that ChatGPT isn’t good for the development of students’ creative thinking. It may turn students into “mindless searching machines”. The teachers also worry that with the wide use of ChatGPT, the results of education may not be as good as before.①“ChatGPT can help our teachers and students understand the power of technology,” says Ellen Meier, an engineer in the ChatGPT research team. “However,” she adds, “it should not replace the roles of teachers or students in the classroom.”12.How many personal ways can ChatGPT help students with their study in?A.Two.B.Three.C.Four.D.Five. 13.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.ChatGPT is the most wonderful AI model now.B.Teachers can get few teaching resources from ChatGPT.C.Teachers think ChatGPT can make students' creative thinking better.D.Students will understand well of soccer after searching on the websites. 14.What does the underlined word “complex” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Slow.B.Quick.C.Difficult.D.Easy. 15.Which of the following ideas may Ellen Meier agree with?A.It will be better for teachers to use ChatGPT more In the future.B.Students need to use ChatGPT as much as possible in the future.C.Technology should take the place of teachers in teaching in the future.D.Students can understand the importance of technology by using ChatGPT.阅读下文,请从A一F选项中选出符合第1-5题的最佳中心句。

It had been my dream to attend the famous carnival for many years, so I was excited. However, the moment I arrived, I was a little bit nervous because there were so many people on the streets. They say that five or six million people come to Rio during carnival time and about two million of them are on the streets on any given day. Luckily, I had a local guide, my sister’s friend Ronnie. He said he would take care of me and show me around at the carnival. He did not let me down.Well, the carnival is all about the samba (桑巴舞). It’s a style of music and dance which comes from Africa. Samba music is usually fast and exciting with a lot of drums and harmonic vocals (和声). It is the kind of music that you couldn’t help dancing to. And I was learning that as I followed Ronnie through the crowd.Ronnie had got us tickets for the samba Parade (游行) inside the Sambadrome where the top samba schools take part in the competition. But we still had a long way to go through the street parties. He said most people enjoy the carnival by making their own parties in the street.So, you must be wondering how the samba parade was in Sambadrome. ★. Ronnie and I never made into Sambadrome. We spent the day moving from one street party to another. There were more snacks, more drinks and lots of dancing. Do I regret missing the main parade? Not at all. I experienced the carnival like the locals, and itwas truly amazing.61.

It’s really a good ideaC. Well, I’m afraid I can’t tell youD. But I have never heard of it before65. What would be the best title for the passage?A. An Amazing CarnivalB. An Unforgettable Street PartyC. A Story Behind the Samba ParadeD. Learning Samba in Rio de JaneiroCI grew up in the countryside of Poland. It’s an area where skiing is popular, but my family was poor. I couldn’t afford to ride the ski lift, so I used to hike up with the skis on my back. It turned out that this was good practice.K2 is nicknamed “savage (野蛮的) mountain”. You hear tragic stories: For every four people who reach the summit, one dies. I was too afraid to even think about skiing down it. Even the best ski mountaineers thought it impossible.But that changed after a training expedition (考察) to Broad Peak. I got a clear look at K2’sextremely large face, and it inspired me. Over time, my skills improved and, by 2017, I didn’t feel the fear anymore. I began preparations.Why attempt 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 emotions 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 severe back pain. We waited for 36 hours after he got better, and I decided to proceed. In total, it took about three days to reach the summit.For many climbers, getting to the peak of K2 would be the defining moment of their lives. For me, it was where the real challenge began. Skiing down a mountain demands patience and endurance (耐力).The most dangerous part was the Messner Traverse. It’s pure ice, up to a75-degree angle in places, with drops on either side. You need to keep your turns and movements smooth and confident. No one had challenged it before, so it was a relief to cross it.In total, going down the mountain took about seven hours. When I finally skied into camp, I was too tired tostand up.I am 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.66.

The underlined word “proceed” in paragraph 5 probably means __________.A. give upB. go onC. get upD. go back69. What are the best words to describe the author?A. Confident and honest.B. Patient and determined.C. Understanding and careful.D. Hardworking and helpful.70.

Tom was the seeker this time, and Jerry was the hider. The park was full of trees and bushes, which made it the perfect place for their game. After a few minutes of searching, Tom found Jerry easily, as Jerry had chosen a spot too obvious for a good hiding place.Determined not to make the same mistake again, Jerry thought of a clever plan. He decided to hide behind a large rock near the pond. This time, Tom had to work harder to find him. After searching under the bushes and behind the trees, Tom finally noticed the rock. He thought it was too big to hide behind and moved on to other areas.

Please note that the actual curriculum content may vary, but this example is designed to be at an appropriate level of difficulty.Cloze Test (Fill in the Blanks)Read the following passage and fill in each blank with the most appropriate word from the choices given below. There are five blanks in the passage and each blank has four choices marked A, B, C, and D.Passage:Last summer holiday, I went on a trip to Beijing with my family. We visited many places of interest, such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and the Summer Palace. The Great Wall was (1)_________; it was so long and had a great view.I climbed a lot of steps and felt very (2)_________ when I reached the top. At the Forbidden City, we saw beautiful palaces and learned about Chinese history. In the evening, we enjoyed delicious food in a local restaurant. It was an (3)_________ day because we had fun and learned a lot. Before we left Beijing, we bought some souvenirs to (4)_________ our trip. On the train back home, I couldn’t stop thinking about the (5)_________ adventure we had.(1)A. amazed B. boring C. tiring D. exciting(2)A. sad B. angry C. proud D. disappointed(3)A. terrible B. unforgettable C. boring D. ordinary(4)A. remember B. forget C. cancel D. change(5)A. awful B. boring C. amazing D. tiringAnswers:(1)D. exciting(2)C. proud(3)B. unforgettable(4)A. remember(5)C. amazingThis cloze test checks the student’s comprehension skills, vocabulary knowledge, and their ability to select contextually appropriate words.四、语法填空题(本大题有10小题,每小题1分,共10分)1、I usually spend___________(1) afternoon reading books. On weekends, I like to visit the library.A. a / aB. one / oneC. the / theD. some / someAnswer: AExplanation: The correct answer is “a” because “afternoon” is an un countable noun, and “a” is used to refer to an indefinite quantity of an uncountable noun. “One” is used for countable nouns, “the” is used for specific nouns,and “some” is also used for uncountable nouns but is more general and not as specific as “a.”2、If you___________(2) your homework before you go out, you won’t have to worry about finishing it late.A. will doB. doC. had doneD. have doneAnswer: BExplanation: The correct answer is “do” because the sentence is in the simple present tense, which is used for habits, general truths, and regular routines. The future tense “will do” suggests a future action that is not necessarily related to the present habit, while the past perfect “had done” and the present perfect “have done” are both used for action s that have occurred in the past and have relevance to the present.3、The teacher__________(be) in the classroom when the bell rang.Answer: wasExplanation: The sentence describes a past event that happened at a specific time, so the past simple tense is used to describe the state of the teacher when the bell rang. The correct form of the verb “be” in the past simple tense for the third person singular is “was.”4、If it__________(rain) tomorrow, we will cancel the picnic.Answer: rainsExplanation: The sentence is an example of a conditional sentence expressing a future possibility. In the second condition (if clause), the simple present tense is used to describe a future event that is conditional on another event. Therefore, the correct form of the verb “rain” in the simple present tense for the third person singular is “rains.”5.In the___________(complete) weather, we decided to go for a picnic.A. beautifulB. beautifullyC. beautifullylyD. beautifully’dAnswer: AExplanation: The correct answer is “beautiful” because we need an adjective to describe the noun “weather.” The other options are not grammatically correct: “beautifully” is an adverb, “beautifullyly” is a misspelling, and “beautifully’d” is a contraction that would only be used after a verb.6.She___________(go) to the store last night, but she couldn’t find her car keys.A. was goingB. wentC. had goneD. have been goingAnswer: AExplanation: The correct answer is “was going” because the sentence describes an action that was in progress at a specific time in the past (“last night”). “Went” is the simple past tense, which does not indicate continuous action. “Had gone” is the past perfect tense, which implies a past action that was completed before another past action. “Have been going” is the present perfect continuous tense, which is not appropriate in this context as it implies ongoing action up to the present.7.In the 7 days, the students have been working hard to prepare for the upcoming science fair.答案:past解析:根据句意,这里指的是“过去的几天”,应该使用过去时态的形容词形式,因此用“past”。
