You may use your own experiences or examples from others to illustrate your point.Example Essay:In today’s fast-paced world, perseverance often serves as the key to unlocking the door to success. Achieving goals, whether academic,professional, or personal, requires unwavering dedication and resilience.I personally have witnessed the power of perseverance in my journey to mastera foreign language. Initially, the task seemed daunting, with its complexgrammar rules and vast vocabulary. However, through consistent effort and perseverance, I gradually overcame these challenges. Each day, I dedicated myself to reading, listening, and speaking, never giving up despite the difficulties. Over time, my efforts paid off, and I found myself fluent in the language.This experience taught me that perseverance is not just about enduring hardship; it’s about turning challenges into opportunities. It’s about believing in oneself, even when the going gets tough. In conclusion, perseverance is a vital trait for anyone aspiring to achieve their goals, as it transforms dreams into realities.(Note: This is a sample essay to illustrate the structure and content of the writing task.

With a backpack filled with necessaries and a heart full of hope, I set off to hike the ancient ways of the nearby mountains.The first day was a test of strength as I climbed sharp paths under the burning sun. My legs ached, and my lungs burned with every breath. But with each step, I felt a growing sense of achievement. As the sun set below the view, I set up my tent beside a gentle stream, where the cool water comforted my tired body.Alone with my thoughts, I found myself reflecting on my life’s journey. The challenges I had faced and the victories I had won flashed before my eyes. I realized that, like the mountains, I had peaks (山峰) and valleys — times of struggle and success.On the third day, I met with a fellow traveler, an elderly man who had hiked these paths for many years. He shared stories of his adventures and offered wisdom that resonated (产生共鸣) with my heart. We walked together for a while, our footsteps mixing with the sound of the wind.As the journey neared its end, I stood on the highest peak and the world spread out before me. I felt a deeper connection to the universe, a sense of belonging that I had never experienced before. At that moment, I understood that my true self was not just a part of me, but a part of everything around me.The hike back down was filled with a newfound sense of peace.

Its price starts at 19, 999 yuan. Huawei also introduced two new cars, the AITO M9 five-seat and the Zhijie R7, creating excitement across the tech industry.“This is the largest and thinnest phone in the world. My dream is to carry a tablet (平板) and a computer in my pocket,” said Y u Chengdong, the Executive Director, while showing the Mate XT on stage. Over the years, Huawei has made many improvements with different folding designs, including inward, outward, and vertical folds. The new triple-folding design not only changes the industry but also makes the types of smart cars unclear, turning science fiction intoreality.The Mate XT can change between single-screen, double-screen, and triple-screen modes, giving users a different experience.Experts believe that the launch of the Huawei Mate XT is a big step in folding screen technology, making it different from the upcoming iPhone 16. At the same time, the new Mate 70 series and the HarmonyOS system, expected later this year, are key parts of Huawei’s plan to enter the high-end market. Reports say pre-orders for the Mate XT have been very popular, with more than 4.3 million people signing up to buy it. Its rarity has already caused prices to rise in the second-hand market, with some selling for over 100,000 yuan, showing its high demand.Besides the smartphone launch, Huawei also broadened the possibilities of smart transportation by introducing two leading smart cars, the AITO M9 five-seat version and the Zhijie R7. These models show Huawei’s strong skills in self-driving technology and show the company’s promise to integrating (使一体化) AI into its products and changing the future of connected living. Together, these actions show Huawei’s open and creative way of welcoming the time of the Internet of Everything.8.What is the main feature of the Huawei Mate XT as described in the text?A.It can always be used as a tablet.B.It has a unique triple-folding design.C.It is the most expensive smartphone.D.It is the first foldable phone ever made. 9.What is Yu Chengdong’s dream about mobile devices?A.To make the largest smartphone in the world.B.To reduce the need for smartphones altogether.C.To have both a tablet and a computer in his pocket.D.To create a smartphone that can also be used as a car.10.What does the high demand of pre-orders for the Mate XT suggest?A.People are eager for creative devices.B.The smartphone market is getting full.C.Few people are interested in new technology.D.The need for expensive smartphones is going down.11.What do the new cars introduced by Huawei show?A.Huawei’s progress in phone technology.B.Huawei’s plan to lower the smart car prices.C.Huawei’s focus on traditional transportation methods.D.Huawei’s use of smart features and self-driving technology.High school can be challenging for everyone. You are going through an awkward time and you may either fit in right away or feel like a complete outcast. But no matter how well you may fit in (or not), joining a club will be helpful for you now and in the future.Joining a club is a great way to meet new friends, especially if you are new at school. Being in a club encourages you to talk to people who share the same interests with you. Even if you are the shyest person, you are sure to make friends with at least one person in the club you choose to join. From my own experience, I have made some of my best friends through after-school activities and have had many new opportunities.Another good thing about joining a club is that taking part in activities looks great on college applications. Being known as outgoing is an important quality (品质); it shows that you are willing to try new things and be determined. It can also help you build skills that you might need during a college interview.Many teens fight with staying productive. Most students go to school and then come home to spend the rest of the day in front of the TV or on their phones, but clubs help prevent this. Teens are also easily influenced, and if they join the wrong group, they might get into trouble. Clubs are a wonderful place to spend time with good friends who can support you if you need help.Perhaps the most important reason to join a club is the long-term benefits (益处) it provides. The classroom is not the only place to learn in a school. Meeting and talking to new people, managing your time, and staying organized are skills you will use every day in your life. 12.What might the underlined word “outcast” in paragraph 1 mean?A.A person who is popular.B.A person who is not smart.C.A person who is confident.D.A person who is not accepted.13.What do colleges think highly of according to the text?A.The number of clubs you have joined.B.The strong relationships you have built.C.The bright personality you have developed.D.The skills you have learned while forming a club.14.What benefit of joining a club is talked about in paragraph 4?A.Increasing the knowledge.B.Learning team working skills.C.Improving the fitness level.D.Making good use of the time.15.What is the best title for the text?A.Why should you join a club?B.What club should you join?C.Should you join a second club?D.How should you join a club you like?Tennis is a challenging and fun physical sport, and regular playing can help improve all physical and mental health. 16 .Improve mobility and grip (握力) strengthAs we age, our muscles naturally weaken and your bones can become more weak. 17 The repetitive movement and power during a tennis match can help make bones stronger. “People who keep their grip strength age more slowly. They stay healthier, live longer and are stronger throughout their bodies,” says doctor Ardeshir Hashmi, who specializes in older people’s health.Lower your chance of heart problemsThe physical activities in tennis, which include both aerobic (有氧运动) and anaerobic activities, help the heart and blood flow. Similarly, swimmers lowered their chance of heart disease or stroke (中风) by 41 percent. 18 . Again running, football and rugby have no big influence on heart deaths. However, playing tennis three hours a week can lower your chance of heart disease by over 50%, according to the United States Tennis Association (USTA). In summary, playing tennis regularly is a great way to stay healthy.19Tennis, unlike working out alone at the gym, running outside or swimming, requires you to interact with others. Tennis can bring different groups of people together through exercise in the community. Keeping strong social networks helps prevent mental health conditions like anxiety and loneliness, helping people feel happier into older age.If this sounds good to you, you’re in luck. 20 . So, it may just be the time to dust offyour racket.A.Have a sense of communityB.Improve the value of personal livingC.Grip strength can show how well you’re agingD.Tennis is popular among all ages and skill levelsE.Tennis has unique health benefits backed by researchF.And dance or gymnastics lowered their risk by 36 percentG.They become watchers rather than players in their chosen activity二、完形填空I was born in a very poor family. At first, my father didn’t let me attend 21 . I was always jealous (羡慕的) when my brother went to school each day. So, one day, when I was 5, I 22 him and hid under the teacher’s desk. She 23 me and sent me home. She 24 my father to put me in school. Much to my 25 , my father agreed.I loved learning, and I 26 moved to the top of my class. When I was 10, my father sent me to a 27 school outside our neighborhood, one that was mostly 28 by students from rich families. I was at the 29 of the list there, too.After high school, I hoped to be an architect engineer, but my father wanted me to study 30 science. After a childhood preparing meals for my family there was nothing I 31 more than cooking. I went in for a food science programme anyway and I discovered that food science wasn’t so 32 at all. Later, I received a Ph.D.in food science and 33 many national and international prizes.In my life, I’ve faced many 34 like hunger and poverty, but I didn’t let them hold me back. I hope others can take 35 from my story and realize that — though they may be facing challenges — they, too, can keep going and succeed.21.A.meeting B.work C.school D.party 22.A.missed B.stopped C.guided D.followed 23.A.left B.noticed C.taught D.examined 24.A.allowed B.advised C.forced D.expected25.A.sadness B.fear C.anger D.pleasure 26.A.quickly B.suddenly C.nearly D.recently 27.A.cheaper B.smaller C.closer D.better 28.A.run B.visited C.attended D.built 29.A.bottom B.center C.top D.back 30.A.food B.water C.earth D.air 31.A.wanted B.hated C.enjoyed D.begged 32.A.bad B.good C.easy D.difficult 33.A.took B.made C.won D.had 34.A.choices B.dangers C.tests D.challenges 35.A.encouragement B.enjoyment C.warning D.training三、语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

AHere are some pet-friendly universities in the UK and US.University of IllinoisStudents are allowed up to two pets in each apartment, as well as a fish tank of no more than 50 gallons.To keep a pet, you will need to get approval from the Family & Graduate housing department at the University of Illinois. You will have to provide proof that your pet is up to date with its vaccinations(疫苗), and pay a monthly US$30 pet fee, which is non-refundable(不可退款的).Your pet can’t be left for extended periods of time, and if there’s evidence that you’ve left it alone due to vacation or illness, the university may remove it.Harvard UniversityWith as many as 12 pet-friendly apartments, Harvard is a very pet-friendly university. It allows students to have fish in a tank of no more than 50 gallons, except for Harvard’s Cronkhite Graduate Center.In Harvard’s pet-friendly apartments, you’re allowed: one cat or one dog, which can’t be over 40 pounds when fully grown. At most, two pet birds.University of British Columbia Students can take advantage of the university’s B.A.R. K program, which uses the calming power of therapy dogs to help them.B.A.R. K started at the University of British Columbia, after an assistant professor called Dr. John-Tyler Binfet noticed that he couldn’t walk across campus without students running over to play with his dog, Frances. The students told him they were homesick and missed their pets, which encouraged Binfet to establish B.A.R. K as a way of fighting their loneliness.University of OxfordThe University of Oxford is famous for its resident pets, who happily wander around college grounds. Many Oxford colleges have their own tortoise and take part in the annual Corpus Christi tortoise race.Although you are not allowed to keep your own pet as a student, several Oxford colleges hold dog petting and walking therapy sessions.1.What is one of the rules for keeping pets at the University of Illinois?A.Pet keepers should pay a monthly US$ 30 pet fee which will be returned.B.Pets can’t be left alone in the apartments due to vacation or illness.C.Students have to keep fish in a fish tank of no more than 20 gallons.D.The cat or dog can’t be over 40 pounds when fully grown.2.Why did Dr. John-Tyler Binfet start B.A.R. K?A.To help students to fight against homesickness.B.To do research on dogs and train them to be pets.C.To help more professors to do exercise on campus.D.To give assistance to the pet dogs by offering them foods.3.Which university doesn’t allow students to keep pets?A.Harvard University. B.University of Oxford.C.University of Illinois. D.University of British Columbia.BA survey by the American Psychological Association shows that one in ten adults reads online news at least once an hour. A lot has been written about the mental health influence from news addiction, and in particular from reading negative reports. Just like junk food, “junk” news can be bad for our health.In recent years, things have been getting increasingly more negative. A study of the content of New Zealand’s largest newspaper showed that while in 1973 the average number of stories about death on the front page was 0.75, by 2013 it was 4.1(and no, there weren’t five times more people dying).What’s more, online news, and the stories we read on mobile phones in particular, tend to be even more negative than print. A 2019 study of 50 U.S. newspapers showed that mobile versions of newspapers report three times more stories about disasters and accidents than paper ones.Such negative reports lead people to believe that things are worse than they really are. They can lead to stress, worry and lower spirits.Experiments also suggest that loneliness and poor relationships have been connected with reading negative reports. After reading negative reports, people are less likely to help others. Even worse, when we check news on smart phones, we may “phub” our loved ones, which leads to lower relationship satisfaction.Negative reports attract our attention far more than positive ones.

However, he wasn’t sure whether or not his classmates were his true friends, so he asked his grandpa. The old man answered, “I have just exactly what you need; it’s in the attic (阁楼). Wait here for a minute.”Grandpa left, soon returning as though carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there. “Take it. It’s a very special chair. Because it’s invisible (无形的) it’s rather difficult to sit on, but if you take it to school and you manage to sit on it, you’ll be able to tell who your true friends are.”Mario took the strange invisible chair and went to school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. “Nobody move. You’re about to see something amazing,” Mario said.Then Mario tried sitting on the chair. He missed and fell straight onto his backside. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. Mario wouldn’t be beaten. He kept trying to sit on the magic chair, and kept falling to theground... until, suddenly, he tried again and didn’t fall. This time he sat, hovering (悬停) in mid-air.Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas, and Diana — three of his best friends — holding him up, so he wouldn’t fall. At the same time, many others he had thought of as friends were doing nothing but make fun of him, enjoying each and every fall.Leaving with his three friends, Mario explained to them how his grandpa had so cleverly thought of such a good idea. Now he knows that those who take joy in our misfortunes (不幸) when we are in difficulty are not our true friends.9.What did Mario’s grandpa take from the attic?A.An invisible chair.B.An old chair.C.A real chair.D.Nothing.10.Why did Mario’s grandpa give him the invisible chair?A.To see whether Mario could sit on it. B.To test who were Mario’s true friends.C.To let Mario have fun with his classmates.D.To test whether Mario was popular at school. 11.How was Mario able to hover in mid-air?A.He saw the invisible chair suddenly. B.He managed to sit on the chair finally.C.His friends held him up with their hands. D.His classmates gave him a chair to sit on.12.What does the story tell us?A.Never laugh at our friends. B.True friends can help us do magic.C.True friends are those who care for us. D.Having too many good friends isn’t a good thing.DSure, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.And yes, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to get along well with the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.In fact, kids who get along well with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable with asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier for them to understand new materials and makes them do their best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues (问题).Here is a question:What if you don’t get along with your teachers? In fact, teachers want to get along well with you and enjoy seeing you learn. But teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes (个性冲突), which can happen between any two people. If you show your teacher that you want to make the situation better, he or she will probably do everything possible to make that happen. By dealing with a problem like this, you learn something about how to get along with people who are different from you.However if a certain teacher isn’t your favorite, you can still have a successful relationship with him or her especially if you fulfill (履行) your basic responsibilities as a student.Here are some of those responsibilities (责任):Attend class ready to learn.Be prepared for class with the right stationery, books, and completed assignments (作业).Listen when your teacher is talking.Do your best, whether it’s a classroom assignment, homework, or a test.13.According to the passage, what will happen to you when getting along well with your teachers ?A.We will have no problems with studyB.We will get a better seat in the classroomC.We will get the best scores in the examsD.We will have more pleasant time in the classroom14.What does the underlined word “that” refers to in the fourth paragraph?A.The happy time you have in the classroomB.Getting along very well with classmatesC.A better relationship between you and your teacherD.The disappearance of personality differences15.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The importance of friendship in schools.B.The importance of a good relationship with your teachers.C.Studying skills for students.D.Useful skills to get along well with your teachers.16.As a student, what will you do if you don’t like a certain teacher ?A.You fulfill (履行) your basic responsibilities as a studentB.You are thought of as a good studentC.You know some basic social skillsD.You are easygoing and helpful第二节七选五(每小题1分,共5分,根据短文内容,选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

In 2017, Wu Yibing became famous after winning the US Open boys’ tournament at 18 to become the first Chinese to win a major junior title, raising high hopes for the “Wonder Boy” to change the fortune of Chinese men in a sport long dominated (主导) by women’s success on the pro stage.In 2018, Wu won his first ATP Challenger title in Shanghai. However, the brutally (残酷地) competitive nature of men’s pro tennis hit the rising Wu with a tough reminder after multiple (多处) injuries — to his elbow, lower back, shoulder and wrist — forced him to be away from the ATP Tour for close to three years.He made his return last year and won three ATP Challenger titles before qualifying (取得资格) for the US Open. “Looking back, I feel like I wouldn’t have been here if not for the ups and downs over the past few years. I take all the difficulties and struggles as an asset (资产) that helps me become better now,” said Wu. “Of course there were a lot of doubts because I had surgery and the rehab (康复) wasn’t going well. The championship today was a payoff for all the hard work and everyone who’s supported me along the way.”4.What did Wu first start playing tennis for?A.Winning awards.B.Developing an interest.C.Killing time.D.Becoming thinner.5.Why was Wu absent from the ATP Tour for nearly three years?A.He wanted to change his major.B.He suffered from serious physical injuries.C.He didn’t stand out in training for the match.D.He can’t deal with the pressure of the A TP Tour.6.What can we learn from Wu’s statement?A.No cross, no crown.B.Well begun is half done.C.More haste, less speed.D.Time waits for no man.7.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.The Development of Chinese TennisB.The Power of Difficulties for AthletesC.The Pioneer of Chinese Tennis SportD.The First Chinese Male Winner of ATPWhen people think about improving their physical fitness, they often neglect (忽视) balance. Good balance is a necessary part of being physically fit and key to living a long life, according to research. It’s important for everyone, no matter your age.Older adults are most affected by poor balance. Falls are the leading cause of injury and death for those 65 and older, with nearly 30% in this age group reporting at least one fall in 2018, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But younger adults frequently fall down, too.Forty-eight percent of young adults reported falling at least once during one 16-week study. The falls most commonly happened during sports activities, with women in the study reporting more falls and fall-related injuries than men.Falls within the previous two years were reported by 18% of young adults (ages 20 to 45) in another study published in the journal BMC Public Health. That figure (数据) compared with 21% of middle-aged adults (46 to 65) reporting falls and 35% of those over 65. While falls among young adults were often connected with sports, falls by the middle-aged group were typicallyrelated to health problems and physical changes.Many factors (因素) can affect your balance outside of age, such as vision changes, brain injuries, overweight and a general lack of physical fitness. Even if you have no risk factors, simply neglecting to work regularly on your balance will result in increased instability (不稳定性).“Our body is conditioned to lose what we don’t regularly use and practice, and balance is no different,” said Susan Baxter.8.What role does a good balance play in our lives?A.It helps us live a healthy and long life.B.It enables us to build a perfect shape.C.It protects us from getting seriously sick.D.It has the power to make us look young.9.How does the author show the research results?A.By having a discussion.B.By following the time order.C.By raising questions.D.By giving a list of figures.10.In which situation are young adults likely to fall down?A.When a health problem comes up.B.When working regularly.C.When a physical change appears.D.When joining in a sport.11.What can we learn from what Susan Baxter said?A.We’ll lose our balance if we don’t practise it often.B.Our body is used to working in its own way.C.We should manage our body properly.D.We are naturally born with balance.A new report from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) shows that global animal populations have dropped greatly since 1970. The report is based on information about 5,495 different species of animals around the world. The information was collected by the Zoological Society of London (ZSL), which used it to create what it calls the “Living Planet Index” (LPI). The LPI focuses on vertebrates — animals with backbones, such as birds, fish, and mammals. The LPI report shows that between 1970 and 2020, the average size of these populations dropped by 73%.The LPI can be a little perplexing. It doesn’t show the change in the total number ofanimals on the planet. Instead, it shows the average change in the size of animal populations since 1970. For example, if one species dropped from 1,000 animals to 500, that’s a 50% drop. If another species dropped from 100,000 to 50,000, that’s also a 50% drop. The number of animals lost in the second population is much higher, but they would both count as a 50% drop for the LPI. But even if the numbers aren’t perfect, scientists agree that animal populations are dropping. And that’s a serious problem.The report shows that populations have dropped in all kinds of habitats (栖息地). Freshwater habitats, such as rivers and lakes, saw the biggest drop, averaging 85%, followed by land animals at 69%. In the oceans, the drop was56%. Geographically, Latin America experienced the greatest loss at 95%, while Africa’s animal populations fell by 76%, and Asia and the Pacific by 60%. Europe and North America had smaller drops, but they still saw a 33% drop since then.Human activities, including habitat destruction, farming, climate change, pollution, and over- hunting, are the primary cause. The WWF calls for urgent action to protect Earth’s wildlife, recommending that 30% of the world’s land, oceans, and freshwater be protected by 2030 and that humans change how they eat, farm, and produce energy.12.What does the LPI report show?A.The total number of animals on Earth.B.The habitats of different endangered animals.C.The average change in animal population sizes.D.The number of species that have already died out.13.What does the underlined word “perplexing” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Simple.B.Confusing.C.Exciting.D.Important.14.Based on the report, which region saw the largest average drop in animal populations?A.Europe.B.Latin America.C.North America.D.Asia and the Pacific.15.What recommendation does the WWF make to protect wildlife?A.Developing new farming technologies.B.Increasing the number of zoos worldwide.C.Introducing new animal species to endangered areas.D.Caring for the world’s land, oceans, and freshwater.If you live in a place that gets a good deal of snow and ice each winter, you already know what the next few months may hold: snowball fights, hot chocolate, and so on! 16 At the first sign of snow or ice in the forecast, drivers will be out spreading salt on the roadways. You may also see people spreading salt on their sidewalks and driveways.17 It helps prevent ice from forming on the pavement, making it much safer to drive during winter weather. Are you wondering how exactly salt makes the roads safer? You may have heard people say salt melts ice. However, the process is a bit more complicated than that. It has to do with a concept called freezing point depression (冰点降低).Liquid water (液态水) becomes frozen ice at 0℃. 18 When salt is added to water, it makes it harder for water molecules to freeze. In effect, this lowers the freezing point of water to about -9.4℃. Below that temperature, even roads that have been salted may be covered in ice.Salt offers a cheap and effective way of making roads safer during winter months. 19 Rock salt used to treat roads ends up in local bodies of water and even in ground water. In large quantities, this can reduce the amount of freshwater in an area and negatively impact plants and animals that rely on it.Salted roads may also be the cause of increased chloride (氯化物) levels in nearby lakes and rivers. 20 In addition, the salt is corrosive and can damage roads, bridges, and vehicles. These impacts have led some groups to advocate other solutions for icy roads, like sand. Some even suggest using sugar or juice in place of salt.A.This is its freezing point.B.Why do people put salt on roads in winter?C.Are you looking forward to winter weather?D.This chemical can do harm to plants and animals.E.However, it also has a negative effect on the environment.F.Of course, along with the snow, salt trucks become a common sight.G.The salt spread on roads and sidewalks often appears gray or brown.二、完形填空On Sunday, 30-year-old Ruth Chepngetich of Kenya set a new world record for the fastest marathon ever run by a woman, finishing in 2 hours, 9 minutes, and 56 seconds.

In late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls (头骨) of you, your children, your neighbors and those that reside next door to them. Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August, and as for me, I wear my bike helmet while working in the garden.The black walnut also releases a chemical substance through its roots as a competitive strategy. It’s poisonous to several common plants. There have been many new plant varieties tha t I brought home with hopes that maybe the black walnut would accept them, but they failed toflourish.What does work are native plants that naturally grow in the area. Native plants are important to have around since they provide beneficial pollinators (传粉者) like birds, bees and butterflies with seeds and contribute to a healthy and biodiverse environment. Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow, so they experience less stress.Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard? Yes, however, getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible. It’s also protected under the law. Rightfully so. Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that inhabit it.Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut. I can’t imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn. I’d miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves.Every spring, I wonder what the season holds: What are the chances of being knocked unconscious while barbecuing? Like any good relationship, I’ll never be pleased. I’m stuck with this tree, so I’ll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut offers a habitat for wildlife and a reminder.19.Why does the author wear a bike helmet while working in the garden?A. To protect the injured skull.B. To prevent herself from sunburn.C. To avoid being hit by the nuts.D. To reduce the chance of getting bitten by bees.20.What is the tree’s survival strategy?A. It attracts beneficial pollinators.B. It lets out poison to drive away pests.C. It produces a chemical fatal to some plants.D. It competes for nutrition with similar species.21.Which of the following DOESN’T account for the author’s love-hate relationship with the tree?A. The volume of its fruits may bring inconvenience.B. The tree outcompetes the native plants in the garden.C. The tree is home to numerous birds and other creatures.D. The presence of the tree takes up much space of the garden.22.The author most probably got a reminder from the tree that ________.A. it’s better to give than to takeB. trees and plants have their own ways to flourishC. even a good relationship is not always trouble-freeD. acceptance, instead of resistance, is the better way to beCIt was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain, an English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna in eastern Libya , heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion (爆炸). Later they learned that a dam (大坝) in Derna had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the next four days, they had no power or internet, and it was only recently that they started to fully understand of the damage caused by the floods.“Half of the city has been destroyed. My mom’s relatives, my friends, my coworkers ——they are all gone. Now we, the survivors, are just ghost s in shells,” says Bujeldain, whose sadness can be easily told from her blank expression.Five days have passed since the terrible flooding in Derna, Libya’s Red Crescent organization estimated that 11,300 people have died, while the city’s mayor believes the number of deaths could be as high as 20,000.Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling” (令人惊骇的) and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate change.Now international aid teams are arriving in Derna, but they face challenges due to damaged roads, lack of access to power, water, and fuel. Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and thousands of people who lost everything these people now need comfort, they need company, t hey need psychological support.”23.What do we know about Bujeldain’s family from paragraph 1?A. The explosion they heard led to the destruction of the dam.B. Bujeldain saved her family from the floods with her bravery.C. Bujeldain immediately recognized the outbreak of the floods.D. For several days, they didn’t fully realize the seriousness of the floods.24.What does Bujeldain mean by saying they are “just ghosts in shells” in paragraph 2?A. They run out of energy and are very tired.B. They feel lucky as they are safe and sound.C. They are completely saddened and shocked.D. They are sorry for the loss of their homeland.25.According to the passage, which of the following does NOT contribute to the loss of lives?A. The absence of warning.B. The extraordinary rainfall.C. Unexpected climate change.D. The damage to environment.26.What might be the main focus of international aid efforts in Derna?A. Addressing mental problems.B. Providing immediate medical care.C. Conducting climate change research.D. Rebuilding roads and access to resources.DBy the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny microorganisms (微生物) in the ocean called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colorful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean color varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate (调控) the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3C, it found that multiple changes to the color of the oceans would occur. The model projectsthat currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions more suitable for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. “Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing.” she said, “but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to live on.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.Whatever color changes the ocean experiences in the coming future will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. “It’ll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happe ning because of climate change,” Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the color of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”27.What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?A. The cause of the changes in ocean color.B. The various patterns at the ocean surface.C. The way light reflects off marine organisms.D. The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.28.What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. beneficialB. sensitiveC. significantD. unnoticeable 29.What can we learn from the passage?A. Dutkiewicz’s model aims to project phytoplankton changes.B. Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.C. Phytoplankton play a declining role in the ecosystem.D. Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.30.What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.B. To assess the consequences of ocean color changes.C. To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.D. To analyze the organization of the ocean food chain.The Chubby Diaries creator is part of a community of larger-bodied travelers who are showing the world that they can do anything. Following them helps because you can be like, “Oh, this place works with larger bodies.” 31 .Second plane seats and belt extendersSouthwest is one of the few airlines to offer plus-size passengers a free second seat. To ensure the extra space, Southwest recommends booking both seats beforehand, then making a request to get your money back. 32 Southwest states: “The armrest is t he definitive gauge (测量仪) for a customer of size. If you’re unable to lower both armrests, you need a second seat.” Even if your frame fits between the lowered arms, you may still need a seat-belt extender.33 .Finding size nclusive tripsFor Natalie Robinson, ziplining (压缩) in Costa Rica determined her bucket list. “Literally for the last 10 years, that’s all I talked about,” said the co-owner of Fat Girls Travel. 34 . Her fortunes changed completely on an August trip to Costa Rica, when a friend found an outfitter without weight restrictions. The guide said Robinson could dash through the rainforest as long as she could reach the starting point high in the tree tops.35When researching a trip, ask about weight restrictions as well as the availability of equipment that can accommodate your size. If you have concerns, bring your own equipment. Plus-size travelers emphasize the importance of being self-sufficient. Finding special clothes and equipment can be challenging in unfamiliar destinations.A. Pack your own equipmentB. Find supportive travel groups and tripsC. Their extra efforts are paying off as they discover how to travel comfortably andconfidentlyD. Ziplining provides much convenience for those fat girlsE. Many airlines use the armrests to determine whether a passenger requires more spaceF. Air-lines provide this extra piece of equipment free, and you can request it at the time ofboardingG. But ziplining generally has a weight limit, so she hadn’t been able to do itYou might say I found marathoning, step by step. Or perhaps it found me. I was 36 an athlete growing up. In fact, I have a hard time 37 that term to myself even today.It started when I joined a group of women in my neighborhood for a daily three-mile walk. At first it was 38 . But soon, my body adjusted and I wanted 39 . Before long, I was running 5 miles. Then I set a goal to run a half marathon. And I did complete the Covered Bridges Half Marathon. I thought, “Now what?” I started to 40 a marathon.It so happened that I 41 a meeting one night and listened to the speaker and coach, Rick Muhr, and was so 42 by his words. I told him that I had signed up for the Ocean State Marathon, just a week away, and that I really didn’t believe I could 43 . Rick locked eyes with me and said, “Trish, you’ve done enough training. You’ll finish!”I never had someone 44 me like that, let alone a real, live coach. He gave me the45 I needed. I set out to run my 46 marathon and completed it in 4:25:00. Little did I know that this would be the beginning of nearly a decade of marathon and distance running. Running a marathon isn’t for everybody. But it is for anybody, anybody who wants to47 the unreachable and to take that 48 into the rest of their life.

AFriendships can be difficult—because often people aren’t as honest and open as they should be. Sometimes, people end up getting hurt.Most problems with friendships come up because people are just too selfish to care about the things that their friends need. They care about their own needs much more, which makes it hard for friendships to work. However, being selfish is part of human nature. A person is put together in order to take care of himself and his own needs, not necessarily those needs of other people. Even though being selfish is something that all humans are born with, it is something that everyone should guard against.The best thing to remember when you are a friend to anyone is that you need to treat your fr iend the same way as you’d like to be treated. This is wonderful advice for a friendship, because it is really the only way to make sure that you are giving your friend everything you would want to be given in a friendship. Whenever you have a question about how you should treat a friend, it is easy to find an answer simply by asking yourself what you would like your friend to do for you, if he or she is in your shoes.Even if you’re always thinking about how you’d like to be treated, and your friends are too, there are issues that come up from time to time in each friendship, and it is important to understand how to deal with these issues so that you can build stronger and healthier friendships. Issues like friends getting boyfriends or girlfriends and not spending enough time with their friends, or even friends finding new friends and leaving old friends behind are issues that will probably come up with one or more of your friendships. It is important to know how to deal with these issues so that you can keep your friends and make new ones. No one wants to have a broken friendship.21. This passage mainly deals with ________.A. the importance of friendshipsB. the advantages of friendshipsC. the problems with friendshipsD. the meaning of friendships22. According to the author, problems with friendships may appear when ________.A. one is honestB. one is selfishC. one is aloneD. one is too busy23. According to the passage, the first and most important thing to be other people’s friend is _______.A. to treat your friends as fairly as possibleB. to give your friends whatever you haveC. not to hurt your friends’ feelingsD. not to think of your own needs any more24. What does the underlined phrase mean in paragraph three?A. if he or she likes your shoesB. if he or she is in your houseC. if he or she is in your situationD. if he or she cares for you25. The paragraphs following the passage may be about how to_______.A. make friendsB. treat friends correctlyC. keep friendsD. deal with friendship issuesBWhen I was 19 years old, I was at a dance club. As we were walking to my car one cold night, a man walked up to us. Behind him was a woman carrying a small child. The child had a jacket on but it wasn’t buttoned up(扣上). The man began to tell us he wanted to borrow some money for the night to get his wife and kid into a hotel. He had a job but no place to live in and was waiting for he first paycheck. He said he could get our mailing address and mail the money back.The guy I was with reached into his pocket to give this man a $20 bill. As the other man was extending his hand out to take the money, I put my hand on my new friends’ hand and said, “ Can I talk to you for a minute?”I told him that every day people asked my mother for money on her way to work. She said they made more money than she did, simply begging for money. These people were scamming those with soft hearts. And if they were truly worried about their child suffering from the cold, they would have at least buttoned his jacket or covered him with his blanket.My new friend looked at me with disappointment and said, “Michelle, I know there are people out there that take advantage of others. I also know there are people out there that are one paycheck away from being homeless. If I give $ 20 to 10 people and only one of them really needs it and uses it for the right thing, it is worth it.”I am now 37 years old and have never forgotten what he said to me. I don’t even remember his name. But I do remember that that experience changed the way I look at different situations.26. Where did this story happen?A. Near a hotelB. Outside a dance clubC. Behind a mailboxD. In the dance club27. What do we know about the stranger according to the passage?A. He had been begging for a long time near the dance club.B. He would spend the cold night at an expensive hotel.C. He was careless and didn’t take good care of his child.D. He might be just lying in order to get some money.28. Why did the author put her hand on her new friends’ hand?A. She wanted to tell him to give some more money to the stranger.B. She believed her mother had already given the stranger some money.C. She wanted to warn him not to be cheated by the stranger.D. She asked her friend to pay more attention to the baby instead.29. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “ scamming ” in the 3rd paragraph?A. cheatingB.respectingC. disappointingD. understanding30. We can safely say that the author’s friend was_________.A. funnyB.kind C.rich D. brave第二节根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
