Do you know how to write characters like “tiaozhou” (broom)?If you can’t,you’re not a lone. Nowadays, most people are typing into computers instead of writing on paper. We type Chinese characters largely according to their pronunciations. The result is to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.China Youth Daily once did a survey among about 2,500 people, in which about 99 percent said they had once forgotten how to write a common Chinese character.Compared to adults, teenagers are better at writing Chinese characters because they spend more time learning and practising at school. However, the influence of digital technology cannot be ignored (忽视)，according to He Yu, head of a research team for Chinese teaching at a Beijing high school.“Many students are obsessed (沉迷于) with digital devices such as electronic dictionaries and computers to help with their studies. Overuse of these tools will make students too lazy to think and write,” he said.Such worries have brought about a popular TV show titled Chinese Spelling Hero, which focuses on Chinese character writing among teenagers. In April, the Ministry of Education called for a better calligraphy (书法) education in schools. Organizations like the China Calligraphers Association are also working to train more teachers in calligraphy.Interestingly, calligraphy teachers can’t always avoid the effects of modem technology. Shen Bin is a calligraphy t eacher at a primary school in Beijing.

The school provides AI classes to both junior and senior high school students. Apart from compulsory (必修的) courses that teach basic knowledge, there are also optional (选修的) courses if students want to learn more.“This semester in our compulsory class, we have learned coding (编程) through a programming language called Python,” said Zhang.

In March, the small city received about 4.8 million tourists. It is certainly not the only city that offers barbecue, or even the most famous one, but its seemingly sudden fame was steps in the making.Zhou Maosong, president of the Zibo Tourism Promotion Association said the popularity started from the crowd-gathering effect of cultural and tourism activities including a music festival. Then famous people tasted the barbecue and put their experiences online attracting young people, which led to a wave of students from neighbouring cities visiting Zibo. What better way to lure adventurous and hungry college students other than “tasty barbecue that makes you full within only 50 yuan!” However, Zibo did not fall into the trap (陷阱) of easy fame that dies fast where sellers cheat buyers on price and quality for the most profit (盈利) in the shortest time. A blogger on Douyin took an electronic scale (电子秤) to ten barbecue stands in Ziboto test if he would be offered less food. It turned out that not a single one was caught short of weight and some owners even offered him local snacks for free. Local people’s honest and friendly behaviour touched even more people online and again lifted the city’s popularity.Zibo’s successful story has inspired governments in other parts of the country to find their ways of supporting local businesses.19．What does the underlined word “lure” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Attract.B．Challenge.C．Follow.D．Organize.20．What are the other reasons for Zibo’s popularity besides the crowd-gathering effect?①Famous people’s recommendation.②Barbecue at low prices.③Support from neighbouring cities.④Local people’s kindness.A．①②③B．②③④C．①②④D．①③④21．Where is the passage probably taken from?A．A science fiction.B．A travel guide.C．A food advertisement.D．A news report.06（2023·山东日照·日照市新营中学校考三模）The common problem of myopia (近视) among students has been a big challenge for China to deal with for many years. According to reports, about 35.6 percent of primary school students and nearly 81 percent of senior high school students are nearsighted (近视的) in China.Considering this background, Wantang Primary School in Yunnan province really stands out. This is because none of the students at this school suffer from myopia. Parents, teachers and eye experts began discussing whether the school’s experience can be used to tackle the rising level of myopia across China.Yang Chenhao is a doctor at the Children’s Hospital of Fudan University. He said that while the school is a special case, some of its methods are highly worth learning, such as keeping children away from mobile phones and getting them outdoors more often.Yang Qingyi is a teacher at the school, which has 536 students. He said that all children are required to go outside during class breaks. “Even for quiet kids, we encourage them to take a walk outside,” he said. When the three sports teachers there are busy, teachers of other subjects will work as trainers to teach basketball and table tennis.“If there is one piece of advice that we can share on achieving zero myopia, I would say large amounts of outdoor activities,” said Sun Fubiao, the primary school’s headmaster. Sun said that a number of his students’ parents are working in other areas, so the school has fixed six public phones while not allowing use of personal mobile phones.“In teacher-parent WeChat groups, we often remind parents to pay attention to kids’ eye health when they are at home for weekends or vacations,” he added.22．How is the first paragraph organized?A．By listing numbers.B．By telling stories.C．By giving examples.D．By comparing facts.23．What does the underlined word “tackle” probably mean in Chinese?A．解释B．应对C．提升D．保持24．What can we know from Yang Chenhao’s words?A．Doctors should work with primary schools.B．Wantang Primary School is worth learning in some ways.C．Children should not use a mobile phone.D．Parents should pay more attention to their kids.25．What is the most important way to achieve zero myopia according to Sun Fubiao?A．Less time of learning at school.B．Fixing enough public phones.C．Much time of outside activities.D．Working with kids’ parents.参考答案：1．B 2．C 3．C 4．B【导语】本文主要介绍了美团推出的无人机送餐服务，包括其操作流程、研发过程及发展前景。

岩画揭秘“绿色撒哈拉”The Atbai Desert, a part of the Sahara Desert, is one of the driest 1_________(place) on Earth, with a sandy and barren landscape that averages zero millimeters of rainfall each year. So, archaeologists (考古学家) were surprised when they recently discovered rock art 2__________(show) boats and cattle in an area that is 60 miles away from the closest body of water.“It was surprising to find cattle 3___________(carve) on desert rock walls as they require plenty of water and wide-open grassland, and would not survive in the dry and barren environment of the Sahara today,” said Julien Cooper, an archaeologist from Macquarie University. “The discovery of boat images in the rock art this distant from the Nile or Red Sea was also surprising.”Archaeologists believe the discovery of ancient rock art in the Sahara Desert provides clear evidence that this harsh landscape was once a far 4____________( hospitable)grassland, supporting the theory of a once “Green Sahara” around 3,000 B.C.E. During this period, the area was a grassy plain with lakes and rivers, sustaining a 5_____________(various) of wildlife and human activities such as cattle herding.6__________, changes in African monsoon (季风) patterns transformed the Sahara into the barren desert we know today. Now, only hardy animals like camels and goats can survive there.The rock art’s detailed carvings suggest that the creators 7_________(spend) plenty of time in the area, further indicating that the region was once supportive of human life. The transition from a “Green Sahara” to a barren desert changed not only the physical landscape but also the cultural and social structures of the time. As the climate grew drier, many residents were forced to migrate closer to the Nile, contributing to the formation of early urban states and culture in Egypt and Nubia.The discovery offers valuable insight into the changes that 8____________(occur) in the Sahara over thousands of years. It highlights the 9_____________(important) of studying ancient artifacts to better understand the history of our planet and the impact of climate change 10_______human civilization.参考答案：1 places 2 showing 3 carved 4 more hospitable 5 variety 6 However 7 spent 8 have occurred 9 importance 10 on超忆症：从不遗忘的能力Do you remember what you had for dinner two weeks ago today?

As of 2021, only 62 people worldwide have been identified with this3___________(able).However, memories 4________( recall) by HSAM individuals are highly self-centered: they can only remember past experiences and details about themselves. Yet their ability tomemorize impersonal information, such as random lists of words, appears to be no better than average. Unlike others with exceptional memory, HSAM individuals do not rely on specific memory strategies to remember information. Their recall is often described as an “involuntary” process, 5__________memories come to mind without effort or conscious awareness.While HSAM may seem like a desirable ability, it can also be a liability for those who possess it.

They may also struggle to remain focused 8_______ the present moment, as their minds are 9__________(constant) flooded with memories from the past.Despite brain scans 10 ____________(fail) to reveal significant physical differences, researchers believe people with HSAM possess distinct thinking patterns and habits that contribute to their remarkable memory abilities. Specifically, they show high concentration levels and a tendency for fantasy, allowing them to think about past experiences repeatedly and thereby strengthening their ability to recall memories. Unlike the average person who may experience this process after significant events, HSAM individuals do so day in and day out throughout their lives.参考答案：1 recalling 2 to remember 3 ability 4 recalled 5 where 6 it 7 anxiety 8 on 9 constantly 10 failing哥本哈根“绿色出游”新体验This summer, Europe’s most popular attractions are fighting back against overtourism (过度旅游).

It aims to help transform tourism from “an environmental burden” into a “force for positive change.” An important step in this transformation, he said, “is to change how we move around on the destination, what we consume, and how we interact with the locals.”According to a 2023 sustainable report by Kanter, a London-based market research group, 81% of consumers say they want to act more sustainably, 7 ________only 22% have changed their behavior.

高中英语阅读——新闻报道类1、NEW YORK－Australian mining enterprise Clive Palmer on Tuesday unveiled(公布)blueprints for TitanicⅡ, a modern copy of the doomed ocean liner, although he didn't call the ship unsinkable any more.The ship will largely recreate the design and decoration of the fabled original, with some modifications to keep it in line with current safety rules and shipbuilding practices, and the addition of some modern comforts such as air conditioning, Palmer said at a press conference in New York.The three passenger classes, however, will be prevented from mingling(混杂), as in 1912, Palmer said. “I'm not too superstitious(迷信的).”Palmer said when asked whether recreating a ship bestknown for sinking was tempting fate.White Star Line, the operator of the original ship, had said the Titanic was designed to be unsinkable. About 1, 500 people died on Titanic’s maiden voyage in 1912 from Southampton to New York after the ship collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic. Palmer, who created the company Blue Star Line last year, refused to make a similar boast.“Anything will sink if you put a hole in it, ” Palmer said. “I think it would be very cavalier to say it.”Unlike the original, TitanicⅡwill have more than enough space in its lifeboats for every person on board and will have additional escape staircases. Markku Kanerva, sales director at Deltamarin, the Finnish company designing the ship, said it would be the “safest cruise ship in the world”．Palmer refused to answer questions about the project's cost. Although the Titanic was the world's largest ship in her time, she would be smaller than many of today's modern cruise ships.“It’s not about the money，” Palmer said. “I've got enough money for i t.I think that’s all that matters.”Forbes estimated Palmer's net worth to be $795 million in 2012.He describes himself as a billionaire.TitanicⅡwill be built by Chinese state-owned CSC Jinling Shipyard, which has already built four ore carriers for Palmer’s mining business, he said. The contract to build TitanicⅡhas not yet been signed, Palmer said.【小题1】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “maiden” in Paragraph 4? A．First. B．Trial. C．Second.

Rescuers have got eight bodies so far.Ye Fangyong, commander of the rescue headquarters, said that the place where the survi- vors were found was at 320 meters underground. It was filled with mudafter the collapse, but there was still room for fresh air. He said three more miners trapped at a work platform390 meters underground may survive because the place also have some space for fresh air.Rescuers had believed that four other miners would be found with the rescued two, but the chances of the remaining 12 being found alive are not good due to the conditions in the mine.However, the rescuers have not given up.

The surveys were conducted every year from 1993 to 2003.Survey respondents (受访者) were asked to estimate their present and future life satisfaction on a scale of 0 to 10, among other questions.The researchers found that young adults (age 18 to 39) routinely overestimated their future life satisfaction, while middle-aged adults (age 40 to 64) more accurately predicted how they would feel in the future. Adults of 65 and older, however, were far more likely to underestimate their future life satisfaction. Not only did they feel more satisfied than they thought they would, the older pessimists seemed to suffer a lower ratio (比率) of disability and death for the study period.“We observed that being too optimistic in predicting a better future than actually observed was associated with a greater risk of disability and a greater risk of death within the following decade,”wrote Frieder R. Lang, a professor at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.Lang and his colleagues believed that people who were pessimistic about their future may be more careful about their actions than people who expected a rosy future.“Seein g a dark future may encourage positive evaluations of the actual self and may contribute to taking improved precautions (预防措施),” the authors wrote. Surprisingly, compared with those in poor health or who had low incomes, respondents who enjoyed good health or income were associated with expecting a greater decline. Also, the researchers said that higher income was related to a greater risk of disability.The authors of the study noted that there were limitations to their conclusions. Illness, medical treatment and personal loss could also have driven health outcomes. However, the researchers said a pattern was clear. “We found that from early to late adulthood, individuals adapt their expectations of future life satisfaction from optimistic, to accur ate, to pessimistic,” the authors concluded.【小题1】According to the study, who made the most accurate prediction of their future life satisfaction?A．Optimistic adults.B．Middle-aged adults.C．Adults in poor health.D．Adults of lower income.【小题2】Pessimism may be positive in some way because it causes people ______. A．to fully enjoy their present lifeB．to estimate their contribution accuratelyC．to take measures against potential risksD．to value health more highly than wealth【小题3】How do people of higher income see their future?A．They will earn less money.B．They will become pessimistic.C．They will suffer mental illness.D．They will have less time to enjoy life.【小题4】What is the clear conclusion of the study?A．Pessimism guarantees chances of survival.B．Good financial condition leads to good health.C．Medical treatment determines health outcomes.D．Expectations of future life satisfaction decline with age.4、They’re WILD animalsBy Ernst-Ulrich FranzenMarch 11, 2010(3) CommentsThe story about the woman who lost some fingers while feeding a bear at a zoo in Manitowoc, after she ignored warnings and barriers(栅栏), reminded me of the story I heard about a couple who put their baby on the back of a wild horse in South Dakota to get a really cute picture. We all do silly things at times — no one is immune — but treating wild animals as lovely pets has to fall into a special category. Teddy bears and Disney movies aren’t actually representative of real bears.Comments (3) View Comments3 CommentsPost a Comment1. TosaLeft - Mar 11, 2010 10:46AMDon’t you think that maybe, just maybe some alcohol was involved?2. tk421 - Mar 11, 2010 11:09 AMIt was already approved that alcohol was involved. Stories that begin with a drunk person saying “Hey, I got an idea, watch this!” rarely end well.3. Tristan Kloss - Mar 11, 2010 11:41 AMAlcohol certainly isn’t involved when people decide to keep “pets” like chimpanzees, baby tigers, etc. Stupidity, definitely. Dogs are pets because of thousands of years of domestication. Even farm animals, which have been kept by humans for thousands of years as well, aren’t let in the house. So why keep animals that treat human contact with, at best, indifference(冷淡、不在乎) and, at worst, violence?【小题1】In Ernst-Ulrich Franzen’s opinion, the woman lost her fingers because ________.A．the zoo keepers didn’t warn her of the dangerB．she didn’t know the bear was a wild animalC．she was somehow influenced by cartoon charactersD．she climbed over the barriers and angered the bear【小题2】TosaLeft thinks the wounded woman ________.A．may have been drunkB．may be a little stupidC．was addicted to wineD．fed wine to the bear【小题3】tk421 means a drunk person ________.A．should be forbidden to enter the zooB．usually gets himself into troubleC．is often fond of making up storiesD．usually likes to show himself off【小题4】What does Tristan Kloss think of people treating wild animals as pets? A．Kind. B．Illegal.C．Loving. D．Stupid.5、Leon, 12, was born without fingers on his left hand.That didn't -stop him from being able to do many tasks. But Leon could not grasp more than one object at a time. So Leon's father, Paul, created a prosthesis(假肢），using a 3D printer. Now Leon has fingers that open and close."It was a do-it-yourself, father and son adventure," says raw.When Leon was a baby, his doctor advised his parents not to give him a prosthetic hand until he was in his early teens. "The doctor said Leon should first learn to get full use out of the hand he was born with," says Paul. As Leon got older, his father looked into buying a prosthetic hand, which can cost as much as $30,000. Paul found a more affordable solution.One day, Paul discovered a video on the Internet about Robohand, a prosthesis created with a 3Dprinter. He downloaded the free instructions and called Robohand's creators for advice. They told him all he needed was a 3D printer一which costs around $2,000- and some materials.Luckily, Leon's school had recently purchased a 3D printer and it offered to help Paul build the hand for Leon.“We used a soccer shin guard（护胫），cardboard, and tape. They cost about＄10," says Paul.With his new hand, Leon can do things better. "I can help my mom more, because now I can carry two grocery bags,”he says.Leon's father has already built .several hands for Leon. Leon helps design each one. He says there's one thing in particular that he wants to do with a future prosthesis.“The goal," he tells thereporter from the loc al evening paper,“is to be able to tie my shoelaces:'【小题1】Why did Leon's doctor disapprove of his using a prosthesis in his childhood? A．The prosthetic technology was underdeveloped then.B．A prosthesis was very expensive at that time.C．To master the disabled hand was important.D．The original hand could do many tasks.【小题2】Leon's father managed to get Leon a new hand byA．collecting money on the Internet.B．buying a prosthetic handC．purchasing a 3D printerD．printing a hand【小题3】The materials used for Leon's hand can be described asA．cheap and common B．strange and valuableC．personal and lovely D．basic and solid【小题4】Where can the passage be taken from?A．An advertisement B．A newspaperC．A poster D．A travel guide6、Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AChinese and Nigerian media should pay more attention to their own growing roles and strive to present a reliable image of China to African audiences and vice versa(反之亦然). Agreement on this important step in ongoing cooperation between the two sides was reached by media representatives attending a media forum on September 19in Abuja, Nigeria.The agreement comes in the wake of increasing attention being paid by the international community on Africa's deepening relationship with China. "This presents an important opportunity for media in China, Nigeria and other African countries. We should seize the moment to expand cooperation between Chinese and Nigeria media, increase our say, and contribute to cooperation between China, Nigeria and Africa as a whole," said Li Wufeng, Vice Minister of the State Council Information Office at the China-Nigeria Media meeting.The media meeting was jointly held by the State Council Information Office, the Chinese Embassy in Nigeria, and the Federal Ministry of Education, Nigeria.

The Tile, asmall square linked up to your iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth, lets you see how close you are to the missing item, within a 50-to 150-foot range . If the item goes out of your phone’s 150-foot range, it can still be detected (发现) on other smartphones with the same app.When you log into the app on your phone, it shows you, with green bars that increase or decrease, how far away you are from the Tile. You can also program it to make a sound when you get close to the Tile. And you can link up your phone with up to ten Tiles. And if your lost item — a dog, for example, or a stolen bike —goes out of your own phone’s 150-foot Bluetooth range, you can set it as a “lost item”. If any of the phones with the Tile app comes within the range of your lost item, a message will be sent to your own phone, reminding you of its position. The Tile app also has the function to remember where it last saw your Tile, so that you can easily find where you left it.Since the Tiles use Bluetooth rather than GPS, they never run out of battery or need to be charged, and they last for one year before needing to be replaced. The app, which will come into the market this winter, works with iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, iPad Mini, iPad 3rd and 4th generation, and iPod 5th generation.【小题1】The Tile app can help you .A．find your missing itemsB．use your phone more wiselyC．save your phone’s battery powerD．connect something to your phone【小题2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．The Tile needs to be charged after a year of use.B．One smartphone can only be linked up to one Tile.C．The Tile cannot work when linked up to a phone without Bluetooth.D．A missing item can’t be found if it goes out of the needed range.【小题3】What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?A．What the Tile app is.B．How the Tile app works.C．The advantages of the Tile app.D．Why the Tile app was invented.【小题4】Where does this passage probably come from?A．A science fiction novel.B．An advertisement.C．A personal diary.D．A news report.8、NEW YORK—Australian mining enterpriser Clive Palmer on Tuesday unveiled(公布)blueprints for TitanicⅡ, a modern copy of the doomed ocean liner, although he didn’t call the ship unsinkable any more.The ship will largely recreate the design and decoration of the fabled original, with some modifications to keep it in line with current safety rules and shipbuilding practices, and the addition of some modern comforts such as air conditioning, Palmer said at a press conference in New York.The three passenger classes, however, will be prevented from mingling(混杂), as in 1912, Palmer said. “I’m not too superstitious(迷信的). ”Palmer said when asked whether recreating a ship best-known for sinking was tempting fate.White Star Line, the operator of the original ship, had said the Titanic was designed to be unsinkable. About 1, 500 people died on Titanic’s maiden voyage in 1912 from Southampton to New York after the ship collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic.Palmer, who created the company Blue Star Line last year, refused to make a similar boast.“Anything will sink if you put a hole in it, ”Palmer said. “I think it would be very cavalier to say it. ”Unlike the original, TitanicⅡwill have more than enough space in its lifeboats for every person on board and will have additional escape staircases. Markku Kanerva, sales director at Deltamarin, the Finnish company designing the ship, said it would be the“safest cruise ship in the world”.Palmer refused to answer questions about the project’s cost. Although the Titanic was the world’s largest ship in her time, she would be smaller than many of today’s modern cruise ships.“It’s not about the money, ”Palmer said. “I’ve got enough mone y for it.I think that’s all that matters. ”Forbes estimated Palmer’s net worth to be $795 million in 2012. He describes himself as a billionaire.TitanicⅡwill be built by Chinese state-owned CSC Jinling Shipyard, which has already built four ore carr iers for Palmer’s mining business, he said. The contract to build TitanicⅡhas not yet been signed, Palmer said.【小题1】What’s the meaning of the underlined word“maiden”in Paragraph 4? A．First. B．Trial. C．Second. D．Last.【小题2】What can be inferred about TitanicⅡfrom the passage?A．TitanicⅡwill have more space in its lifeboats than the Titanic. B．TitanicⅡwill be the largest cruise ship in the world.C．TitanicⅡwill allow different classes of passengers to mingle.D．TitanicⅡwill be a real unsinkable cruise ship.【小题3】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．1, 500 people died on Titanic’s maiden voyage in 1912.B．The Titanic collided with an iceberg in the South Pacific.C．The Titanic was equipped with air conditioning.D．The Titanic was the world’s largest ship at that time.【小题4】What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A．To tell us the story of the Titanic.B．To tell us TitanicⅡwill cost a lot of money.C．To tell us about the future TitanicⅡ.D．To tell us a Chinese Shipyard will build TitanicⅡ.【小题5】What’s the best title of the passage?A．The old TitanicB．The blueprints of TitanicⅡC．The unsinkable TitanicⅡD．Clive Palmer—a billionaire9、“Holding girls back from an education is robbing them of their dignity (尊严),” says Mariam, a teacher, in an interview with Action Press.“I feel proud when I tell people that I’m from Swat in Pakistan, with its green and mountainous valley. But I don’t feel proud about the number of women and girls where I’m from who are still being unable to enjoy the right for an education.“I have taught many students —including Malaya, the young education activist who was shot in the head as travelling to school in Pakistan after campaigning for girls’ education. Among the m I see the dignity that education can offer. This is why I have long been devoted to teaching, and why I am doing what I can to make sure that all girls have the chance to go to school.“At the Khushaal school and college in Mingora, many girls are pr evented from going to school because of poverty and fights. However, the most common reasons for girls not attending classes are cultural. People fear that females will become too independent if educated. Instead, parents prefer to marry off girls early. Girls and young women are considered a financial burden if left dependent on their parents.”“In the school where I have been teaching for over ten years, I have seen how this discrimination plays out. Parents regard an educated and independent female as being too clever for her own. Even if parents agree to give a girl an education, a limit is set to the number of years for her to attend classes and it is common for girls to make it through only primary school. This is why I have been working tirelessly to change these damaging views and cultural practices. These are crimes against humanity (人道),which I have no choice but to strongly accuse of.”“Malala was right to fight for her education.” says Mariam, who will be in New York with UNESCO (联合国教科文组织), delivering a speech calling for world leaders to make sure every child gets a chance to go to school.【小题1】What does Mariam take pride in?A．Her dignity from education.B．Her lifelong devotion to teaching.C．Her hometown with fantastic scenery.D．Her experience as a speech maker.【小题2】What is the major reason to prevent girls from going to school? A．The constant fights across the country.B．The lack of financial support for schooling.C．The limited time allowed to attend classes.D．The traditional views on females’ social role.【小题3】What will Mariam appeal for in her speech?A．Accusing of the shooting of the schoolgirl.B．Sex balance among children of school age.C．Equal access for boys and girls to education.D．Independence of girls with a good education.【小题4】Which of the following is true about Mariam？A．Malala event motivated her to work years for children.B．She spoke in favour of Malala’s action in the interview.C．A press invited her to attend a conference in New York.D．She started a campaign with Malala for females’ freedom.10、CChinese media and Internet users on Monday condemned（谴责） lack of morals in society after a toddler（学步的幼儿） was struck twice –by two different vans-and left bleeding on the road as more than a dozen bystanders did nothing to help the seriously injured girl．The incident, captured by a surveillance camera and broadcast by Southern Television Guangdong （TVS），showed the two-year-old girl was knocked down and run over by a white van on a narrow market street on the afternoon of Oct.13, in Foshan City of Guangdong Province．The driver fled the scene of the accident，leaving the girl to bleed on thesidewalk．Over the next six minutes，more than a dozen people walked by the girl，yet not one individual did anything to help her．The girl was then hit a second time by another van before an elderly trash collector came to her aid and brought the attention of the girl’s mother, according to the video and eyewitnesses．Doctors said that the girl, who was put on life support after being hospitalized，remains in a deep coma．The girl’s parents，who are migrants living in the city，are now with her．Police said the drivers of both vehicles have been arrested．However，the apathy of the bystanders shown in the video has shocked the public，as Internet forums have seethed with anger， and people are questioning the morality of society．High moral standards were once triumphed as national pride in China where individuals known for selflessly helping others were adored by the public．But in recent years，the perception（观念）of a decline of morals has become a hot topic as profit and materialism are perceived to be affecting society’s values．On Sept.2 an 88-year-old man in central China collapsed，his face striking the pavement．Yet，no one came to his aid, and he ended up choking to death on the blood from his nose．Some have linked the absence of good Samaritans （模范人物）to a previous case in which a man trying to help an elderly woman who fell was accused of harming her． A strong chorus of opinion on the Internet says laws should exempt（免除）Samaritans from liability（责任）, yet laws themselves cannot solve society’s morality dilemma．Cao Lin, a China Youth Daily commentator，said in a signed article published on Monday that the worry of liability should not be an excuse for not helping, and this case exposes the decline of humanity in Chinese society．【小题1】According to the passage，what would happen if someone helped others selflessly in the past?A．He/ she would be condemned by the public．B．He/ she would be awarded by the government．。

On January 14th, 2022, an underwater volcano erupted near Tonga.The volcano is located off the coast of Tonga. It first began to erupt on Friday. Even though the volcano was underwater, it sent a column of gas, ash, and stones 20 kilometers into the sky.Saturday’s eruption was far larger. It’s believed to be the largest in over 20 years. The eruption caused a loud “sonic boom”, which could be heard even in Alaska, 10,000 kilometers away. The eruption caused a 5.8 magnitude earthquake, as well as tsunami (海啸) waves that traveled far and wide.In Japan, Chile and Australia, people moved away from low-lying areas along the coast. The waves sunk boats in New Zealand and caused two deaths in Peru.The event knocked out Internet services in the area. Like most island nations, Tonga gets its Internet through a cable that runs deep under the sea. The reports of injuries and deaths in Tonga related to the eruption couldn’t be known in time because of problems with communication.In the following days, the smoke and ash from the volcano covered much of Tonga. ________ That was the biggest danger which might last for a long time.New Zealand and Australia sent teams to Tonga to help out.

The United States and the World Health Organization also sent help to Tonga.62．Which is the right order of the following events?a. People in Alaska heard a loud “sonic boom”.。
