He asked, ―Have you got the 54 of the exam? What score did I get?‖The teacher looked at him and smiled, ―Ah, it‘s you, Fred.

Usually she works for 13 to 15 hours a day. She welcomes people, serves tea, washes dishes and cleans the floor. She seldom has a day off. ―At the end of the day, I feel so tired,‖ said Sun. ―My family is poor. There is no money for me to go to school.‖There are 250 million children in the world who are working in hard, sometimes dangerous conditions. India has the biggest number of child workers in the world—44 million.Children do all kinds of work. Most of them work in the fields. They pick vegetables, clear grass and move rocks. Some work in factories making clothes, glass, matches and many other things. Others sell things in the markets.Why do children work? Many children work to make money for their families to live on. Another reason is that schools are too far away or there are no schools in the area at all.In China, there is a law called ―Prohibition of Child Labour‖ (《禁止使用童工规定》). It says any company mustn‘t hire children under 16 and anyone who introduces a child to work will be fined (罚款) 5,000 yuan.( 66. What does ―She seldom has a day off.‖ mean?A. She couldn‘t finish her work.B. She never has a rest.C. She hardly has a free day.D. She seldom gets full pay.( )67. Which country has the most child workers in the world?A. China.B. India.C. Japan.D. Korea.( )68. According to the writer, why do children work?A. Because they want to.B. Because there‘re no places to study in.C. Because they hate going to school.D.

Child Workers in the World.BPlants mostly grow in pleasant places with a lot of sunshine, but some plants can also be found in areas that do not seem good for them. All that most plants need to grow is air, sunlight and water. Humans need plants, without them, nobody would be able to live. Plants provide fuel(燃料), food, clothing, paper, house and medicine.FuelThe oldest form of fuel is wood, which can be burned to create heat for warmth and cooking. As time goes by, green plants that lived a very long time ago have formed coal（煤）, oil and gas, which humans use for heating and cooking.FoodThe main food plants are grains, including wheat, corn, rice and so on. For centuries, people have been using spices（香料）from plants in their food. Even drinks come from plants, such as coffee., tea and cocoa. Nature makes many other kinds of drinks naturally, such asfruit juices and milk.PaperPapyrus（纸莎草），a grass-like plant, was used more than 4,000 years ago by Egyptians to make paper. It was from this plant that paper got its name. The Chinese , around 100 AD, invented a particular way of producing paper that is still in use today.HousesIn many parts of the world, wood is used to create houses. Many of our houses are made of wood, that is, they are plant products. Many containers（容器）that we use in everyday life are also made up mainly of wood.( )71. What do most plants need to grow?A.Sunlight, water and fuel.B.Air, moonlight and fuel.C.Air, sunlight and water.D.Water, air and moonlight.( )72. What type of food plants is NOT mentioned in this passage?A.Plants used for spices.B.Vegetables.C.Tea plants.D.Grains.( )73. What can we learn from this passage?A.Plantsare not important to human beings.B.The earliest fuel came from wood a long time ago.C.Plastic can be used to build houses.D.China knew how to produce paper about 4,000 years ago.( )74. The last paragraph is probably about plants used for_________A. buildingsB. making clothesC. containersD. cleaning air( )75 . What is this passage mainly about?A.Different kinds of plants.B.The history of humans.C.Ways to grow plants.D.Humans and plants.CFor most people, the word ―fashion(时尚)‖means ―clothes‖. But people may ask the question,―What clothes are in fashion?‖And they use the word―fashionable‖in the same way: ―She was wearing a fashionable coat. His shirt was really a fashionable color.‖But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs….and in languages.Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will see that fashions have always changed. An English house of 1750 was different fromone of 1650. A fashionable man in 1780 looked very different from his grandson in 1860.Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past. Newspapers, radios, telephones and televisions send information from one country to another in a few years.Now fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money in fashion.( )76. Most people think that ―fashion‖means―__________‖A. subjectsB. holidaysC. books.D. clothes( )77. By________ we can see that fashions change as time goes.A. finding a job.B. looking at picturesC. eating in a restaurant.D. wearing a fashionable coat.( )78. In the 5th paragraph the writer mentions________ kinds of ways to send information.A. threeB. fourC. fiveD. six( )79.―There is money in fashion‖means ―_________‖A.People like fashion and money.B.Fashionable things are expensive.C.One can make money through fashion.D.A fashionable man makes much money.( )80. The passage is mainly about__________.A.the changes of fashions.B.the kinds of colors.C.the money in fashion.D.the differences between houses.DThe aim of students who come to school is to study. But if we don‘t have a right way to study, we will waste the time and money. The following are ways of studying.The best time for reading is morning. Because in the morning, the air is fresh and our minds are clear. For that reason, we can get good results.In studying we must be patient. If we don‘t understand a text well, we must read it again. We should not read the next one till we have learned the first one well.When we are studying, we must put our hearts into the book. We cannot read absent-mindedly（心不在焉地），or we can get nothing from the book while we are reading.We must always ask ―whys‖. If it is not well understood, w rite it down and ask our teachers or parents, brothers or friends, in any possible way. We must know it completely and then our knowledge can be used well.Though there are many ways of studying, the above mentioned will be quite enough if we can keep them in heart and do so.( )81. The article tells us__________________A.the importance of studying.B.to pay attention to ways of studying.C.the best studying time.D.to have patience in studying.( )82.

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.

AWith the development of technology, our city life is becoming more and more “smart”. Here are some great technologies that make our cities “smart”.Sensors(传感器)Sensors are like eyes in every corner of the city. They can see and feel things by collecting data (数据) on people and the environment.Internet of things (万物物联)It is like the blood vessels (血管) of a city, connecting everything to the Internet. Imagine when you are nearly home, and your smart watch can tell your home to turn on the lights. This can become a reality with the Internet of things.5G5G provides high- speed wireless Internet. It is what makes the Internet of things possible. The speed of 5G can be up to 10 GB per second. With such a speed, we can download a film in just a few seconds.Artificial intelligence (AI)AI can also help to deal with data. More importantly, it learns from the data and becomes a smart helper for us. AI can work as a delivery person, a tour guide, or even help design cars and make people’s work safer.Online mapsBaidu Map and Gao de Map are two typical online maps. They help people find their way from one place to another. Some online maps can update real-time data on cities. With their help, people can find out the busiest road and plan the best route when traveling.16．How many technologies are mentioned in the passage?A．3B．4C．5D．617．Which technology makes a difference to Internet of things?A．Sensors.B．5G.C．AI.D．Online maps.18．What can AI be used for according to the passage?①Dealing with data. ②Collecting data. ③Working as a tour guide.④Helping design cars. ⑤Making people healthier.A．①②⑤B．②③④C．①③④D．③④⑤19．Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?A．Sensors can see and feel things like eyes.B．You can use your smart watch to turn on your light s out of your home one day.C．We can download a film in a few seconds with 5G.D．People can only use Baidu Map to avoid heavy traffic.20．What’s the purpose of the passage?A．To introduce some technologies.B．To ask people to buy cars.C．To show what the city life is like.D．To tell people how to use technologies.B16-year-old Yang Jun’ao, a student from No.1 Middle School in Nanxian County, Hunan Province, invented a robot to help harvest lotus roots (采藕).“I got the idea when I saw my grandmother, in her 70s, working hard to harvest lotus roots under the hot sun,” Yang said. Sometimes, his grandmother would badly hurt her fingers while using harvesting tools.To make things easier for his grandmother, he decided to invent a robot that could do the job for her.With the help of his teacher, Hong Wei, Yang spent almost a year building a model of the robot. The robot can move by itself in the muddy (泥泞的) fields where lotus roots grow. It uses special technology to identify ripe roots by looking at the color of the lotus leaves. Then, its arm carefully cuts the roots without harming them.While creating the robot, Yang faced challenges like collecting parts for the model, putting them together and using a hot glue gun for connecting. “The first time I used a hot glue gun, my hands were shaking,” Yang laughed. At first, he planned to use rotating blades (旋转叶片) for harvesting lotus roots. But it was hard to find them, so he used more common blades instead.When Yang showed the robot to his grandmother, she was happy and gave helpful suggestions for improvement. She suggested using a voice player to help locate the robot in thick lotus leaves. “My grandmother’s suggestion reminded me that any invention must be practical to be truly valuable.” said Yang.Although Yang still needs to make improvements, like finding cheaper materials, his teacher Hong spokehighly of Yang’s creative thinking and resolution to help his hometown.21．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．The robot.B．The muddy field.C．The ripe root.D．The lotus leaf.22．How many challenges did Yang meet during the invention process?A．5.B．4.C．3.D．2.23．Put the following information into correct order according to the passage?a.

It has been found at the bottom of the ocean. It’s been found at the top of Mount Qomolangma. Now plastic has been found in another unlikely place: on the backs of hermit crabs (寄居蟹).Hermit crabs are small and they have soft bodies. To protect themselves, they usually wear seashells (贝壳). They find shells left behind by dead sea snails.But according to a study, at least 386 hermit crabs are wearing rubbish now. There are 16 species of hermit crabs that live on land, and 10 species of them are wearing rubbish now. And nearly 9 out of 10 of these crabs are wearing plastic. The others are wearing glass or metal (金属).Scientists aren’t sure why hermit crabs are now choosing rubbish instead of snail shells. But they have some ideas. It’s possible that hermit crabs can’t find enough seashells. It’s also possible that crabs choose plastic because it’s light and easy to carry. Or they just like the bright colors.Scientists agree that plastic pollution is bad for wildlife and the environment. But it isn’t clear that the crabs are in any danger.“It’s really an amazing example of the beauty of adaptation (适应),”an expert says.“ What are the long-term result of these adaptations? We don’t know.”26．What’s the writer’s purpose in writing Paragraph 1?A．To give examples.B．To raise a question.C．To lead into the topic.D．To explain a problem.27．What do hermit crabs normally wear to protect themselves?A．Plastic.B．Glass.C．Metal.D．Seashells.28．Which could be one of the reasons why crabs wear rubbish?A．The rubbish is colorful.B．The rubbish is heavy for protection.C．The rubbish is easy to find.D．The shells are enough for the crabs.29．Which of the following is true about hermit crabs?A．They have their own shells.B．They are in great danger because of the plastic pollution.C．They like wearing glass more than plastic.D．They are very smart to adapt to the environmental changes.30．What’s the best title for the passage?A．Protecting crabs.
