This phenomenon, known as sea-level rise, is a result of the melting of polar ice caps and the expansion of seawater as it warms. The consequences of sea-level rise are severe and multifaceted, affecting both human settlements and natural ecosystems.One of the most immediate impacts is the increased frequency of flooding in coastal areas. Homes and businesses are at greater risk of being submerged during high tides or extreme weather events. This not only causes significant financial loss but also displaces residents and disrupts local economies.Another consequence is the erosion of coastal land. As sea levels rise, the natural barriers that protect coastal areas from the ocean’s force are eroded away. This leads to the loss of beaches, wetlands, and other critical habitats for wildlife. The disappearance of these habitats can have devastating effectson local biodiversity.Despite these challenges, many coastal cities are taking proactive measures to mitigate the impacts of sea-level rise. Some are constructing sea walls and flood barriers to protect against flooding. Others are investing in sustainable infrastructure, such as green roofs and permeable pavements, which can absorb excess water and reduce runoff.Questions:1.What is the main cause of sea-level rise mentioned in the passage?A. The melting of polar ice caps.B. The expansion of seawater as it warms.C. Both A and B.D. Human activities only.2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a consequence of sea-level rise?A. Increased frequency of flooding.B. Loss of coastal land.C. Improved agricultural productivity.D. Disruption of local economies.3.What are some of the measures that coastal cities are taking to mitigate the impacts of sea-level rise?A. Constructing sea walls and flood barriers.B. Investing in sustainable infrastructure.C. Promoting the use of traditional building materials.D. Both A and B.Answers:1.C. Both A and B.2.C. Improved agricultural productivity.3.D. Both A and B.三、完型填空（15分）Section III: ClozeRead the following passage and choose the best word for each blank from the options given below.In the small town of Greenfield, the [1] of the community was brought toa standstill when a rare and beautiful butterfly, the Greenfield Blue, was found[2] a local park.

One of the most significant impacts of smartphones is the increase in social media usage. Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter have become an integral part of our daily routine, allowing us to connect with friends and family, share updates, and stay informed about current events.However, the widespread use of social media has also raised concerns about its effects on mental health. Studies have shown that excessive social media use can lead to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. The constant compari son with others’ seemingly perfect lives can be overwhelming and detrimental to one’s mental well-being.Despite the negative effects, social media also offers numerous benefits. It has become a powerful tool for social change, enabling individuals to raise awareness about important issues and mobilize communities for action. Moreover, social media can be a source of inspiration and support, connecting people who share similar interests or experiences.One of the most interesting developments in social media is the rise of influencers. Influencers are individuals who have gained a significant following on social media platforms due to their expertise or uniqueperspectives. They use their influence to promote products, share advice, and advocate for causes. Many young people look up to influencers as role models and seek to emulate their lifestyles.The impact of social media on society is a complex issue. While it has the potential to harm our mental health, it also offers numerous opportunities for positive change. As we continue to navigate this digital age, it is crucial to find a balance between the benefits and risks of social media usage.Questions:1.What is one of the most significant impacts of the smartphone on our daily lives mentioned in the passage?A)Increased access to informationB)Decreased physical activityC)Improved communication skillsD)Enhanced memory retention2.According to the passage, what are the potential negative effects of excessive social media use on mental health?A)Improved cognitive abilitiesB)Increased creativityC)Anxiety, depression, and low self-esteemD)Enhanced problem-solving skills3.What is the main purpose of influencers on social media as described in the passage?A)To provide entertainmentB)To promote products and causesC)To provide educational contentD)To share personal experiencesAnswers:1.A) Increased access to information2.C) Anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem3.B) To promote products and causes三、完型填空（15分）Section 3:ClozeRead the following passage and choose the best answer for each blank from the options below.The small town of Windermere, nestled in the beautiful Lake District of England, is famous for its stunning scenery and [1].

Anger may make us feel uncomfortable, but it’s also normal. Unluckily, many of us have been used to keeping our feelings hidden. A research suggests that this can have long-term bad influences on our health.Is it better to cry or break things whenever something makes us angry? The research points out that when we show our anger in this way, we can’t probably get on well with our friends and our family. The more time we keep being angry, the worse result we’ll get. So how can we deal with our angry feelings in a right way?First, know what makes us angry. Anger is often caused by feelings of fear, disappointment (失望) and so on. Second, pay more attention to those everyday things that will make us angry.One way of dealing with anger is to talk about it. The study has shown that if we name our feelings, we can actually calm ourselves down and feel better.Do some controlled breathing or find some physical activities. Exercise helps with feelings of anger.If we learn to deal with anger, we will be happier and healthier.26．According to the text, if we hide our angry feelings, we may ________.A．have some health problems B．find it hard to solve problemsC．be more likely to become angry D．lose our friendships with others 27．Which picture shows the relation (关系) between the time of being angry(x) and the bad result of that(γ)?A．B．C．D．28．Which can help deal with the feelings of anger?a. Exercisingb. Eating delicious food.c. Talking about the feelingsd. Doing some controlled breathingA．abc B．abd C．acd D．bed29．The underlined word “calm” means “________” in Chinese.A．使愤怒B．使冷静C．使沮丧D．使振奋30．What’s the best title for the text?A．What makes you angry?B．Why are you angry?C．How to deal with anger?D．When to deal with anger?March 21st is World Sleep Day. Its aim is to celebrate the benefits (好处) of good and healthy sleep.Sleep is like food for the brain. Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop. According to the National Sleep Foundation in the US, adults need seven to eight hours of sleep every night. For students aged 10 to 17, a healthy amount of time is about eight to nine hours per night.But many students don’t get enough sleep because of early school start times and heavy homework. About 80 percent of middle school students don’t get enough sleep, the China Youth and Children Research Center reported. For some students, they want to sleep early, but they keep worrying about their schoolwork and can’t fall asleep quickly. For others, they may even have insomnia which might keep them awake all night.These sleeping problems greatly influence people’s lives. The lack (缺乏) of sleep forteenagers leads to poor grades. Students without enough sleep cannot pay attention in class or do well in sports.Also, the lack of sleep may make them depressed (沮丧的) .Luckily, with good sleep habits, it is easier to fall asleep. Some of these good habits include avoiding drinks that make people excited late in the day, going to sleep at the same time each night, and sleeping in a comfortable place that is dark, quiet, and neither too warm nor too cold. 31．A 15-year-old student needs to sleep about ________ hours every night.A．less than 7B．7C．7 to 8D．8 to 932．Some teens don’t get enough sleep because ________.A．they might do well in sports B．they might feel unhappyC．they might have too much homework D．their bodies and brains might grow better 33．The underlined word “insomnia” means ________ in Chinese.A．健忘症B．肥胖症C．多动症D．失眠症34．If teenagers are short of enough sleep, they might ________.A．get poor grades B．get fatter and fatterC．feel happy all day D．always want to drink water in the day 35．Good sleep habits are to ________.A．go to bed early and get up late B．go to bed at the same time every nightC．need a warm place to sleep D．listen to music to sleep every nightDifferent people prefer different colours. And wearing different colours of clothes shows different moods. Colours influence our moods. If we’re sad, we usually want to wear dark colours. If we’re happy, we often wear bright colours. So, how can colours influence our moods? What colour should we wear? Here is some advice for you.If you’re feeling sad, don’t wear black. It’ll make you feel worse. But if you choose red, orange or green, it will be better. Red can make us more excited. Orange can make you happier. Green makes us feel peaceful and energetic.Blue is a calm colour and it makes us feel relaxed. It can also make us think better and get good ideas. You can be cleverer than before if you are in yellow. So yellow is good for your studying. It is easier for you to find your love when you are in pink. White shows purity and peace.So wearing white makes you feel calmer.When you see someone wearing black, you may feel safer. Black can make you look mature (成熟的). It’s often preferred by people who aren’t lively as it is a protecting colour.Colours influence your moods greatly, so you need try to make you happy by changing your clothes with bright colours.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

Smartphones, tablets, and computers have become integral parts of daily life. However, this increased screen time has raised concerns about its impact onchildren’s sleep patterns. A recent study investigates the correlation between screen time and sleep quality in adolescents.Body:The study involved 1000 adolescents aged 13 to 16. Participants were asked to keep a sleep diary for one week, detailing their screen usage before bedtime. Researchers found that those who used screens for more than two hours before going to bed had significantly lower sleep quality than those who did not. The study also revealed that the type of screen used had no significant impact on sleep quality, suggesting that it’s the overall screen time that matters.One of the key findings was that the blue light emitted by screens can interfere with the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep. This disruption in melatonin production can lead to difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep throughout the night.Conclusion:The study concludes that limiting screen time before bedtime is crucial for maintaining healthy sleep patterns in adolescents. Recommendations include setting a “screen-free” hour before bedtime and ensuring that screens are turned off at least an hour before going to sleep.Questions:1.What is the main focus of the article?A. The benefits of technology in children’s educationB. The impact of screen time on children’s sleepC. The role of smartphones in daily lifeD. The importance of melatonin in sleep regulation2.According to the study, what is the primary factor affecting sleep quality in adolescents who use screens before bedtime?A. The type of screen usedB. The amount of screen timeC. The time of day the screen is usedD. The content viewed on the screen3.What is the recommended action to improve sleep quality in adolescents according to the study?A. Increase screen time before bedtimeB. Use screens only during the dayC. Turn off all screens at least an hour before bedtimeD. Limit screen time to one hour before bedtimeAnswers:1.B2.B3.C三、完型填空（15分）III.Cloze Test (Finish the following passage by filling in each blank with the correct form of the words given in the brackets.)(10 points)Directions: Read the following passage and fill in the blanks with the appropriate forms of the words given in the brackets.
