I went for something to eat. That was when I discovered the pudding in the fridge. It was made from milk, sugar, eggs and fruits, and it looked so yummy. I noticed that there was only one left.I was putting the pudding on a plate when my brother came into the kitchen. He found the pudding and asked for it. “It’s mine! I was the only one who found it!” I shouted. “You are my elder brother. You should give it to me!” said he. Then he started pulling the plate towards himself and I did the same.Suddenly, the plate moved to one side and the pudding slipped (滑动) out of the plate. It landed on the floor and turned into yellow mess. My brother and I both looked at each other, feeling amazed and disappointed at the same time. It was such a waste!To my surprise, Ollie, our pet dog, walked over to the mess on the floor. It began to lap up the pudding happily, within minutes, the mess on the floor was gone. Ollie licked (舔) its lips when it was done.After watching Ollie finishing the whole pudding by itself, we realized how foolish we had been. If both of us had shared the pudding, we would both have got to eat half of it. It was because of our greed (贪婪) that we ended up with nothing. That day, my brother and I learned a good lesson.29．The writer’s brother thought he should get the pudding because ________.A．he found it by himself B．he made it by himself C．he was olderD．he was younger30．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?A．The dog.B．The pudding.C．The plate.D．The fridge. 31．What do the underlined words “lap up” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．share B．move C．eat D．pull32．The two brothers would learn to ________ from then on.A．share things with each other B．make puddingC．wash the plates D．clean the roomBenjamin West, the father of American painting, showed his talent for art when he was only six years of age. But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one. In those days, a brush was made from camel’s hair. There were no camels nearby. Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead. He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush.The brush did not last long. Soon Benjamin needed more fur. Before long, the cat began to look ragged (蓬乱). His father said that the cat must be sick. Benjamin was forced to tell his father what he had been doing.The cat’s situation was about to improve. That year, one of Benjamin’s cousins, Mr. Pennington, came to visit. He was impressed with Benjamin’s drawings. When he went home, he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes. He also sent six engravings (版画) which were drawn by an artist. These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen.In 1747, when Benjamin was nine years old, Mr. Pennington returned for another visit. He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift. He asked Benjamin’s parents if he might take the boy back to Philadelphia for a visit.In the city, Mr. Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings. The boy began a land-scape (风景) painting. William Williams, a well-known painter, came to see him work. Williams was im-pressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home. The books were long and dull. Benjamin could read only a little, having been a poor student. But he later said,“Those two books were my companions (伙伴) by day, and under my pillow at night.” While it is likely that he understood very little of the books, they were his introduction to classical paintings. The nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist.33．What is the passage mainly about?A．Benjamin’s visit to Philadelphia.B．Williams’s influence on Benjamin.C．The beginning of Benjamin’s life as an artist.D．The friendship between Benjamin and Pennington.34．What can we infer (推断) from the paragraph 3?A．The cat would be closely watched.B．The cat would get some medical care.C．Benjamin would leave his home shortly.D．Benjamin would no longer use the cat’s fur to make a brush.35．What did Pennington do to help Benjamin develop his talent?A．He gave him some painting materials.B．He took him to see painting shows.C．He sent him to a school in Philadelphia.D．He taught him how to make engravings. 36．Williams’s two books helped Benjamin to ________.A．master the use of paints B．make up his mind to be a painterC．get to know other painters D．appreciate landscape paintingsIf the eyes are the windows of the soul, then the body is the mirror of our feelings. If we are feeling great, we may give our body signals (信号). If we look at someone else’s body, we can often tell how they are feeling by their body signals. So reading body language signals is a great tool in daily communication.If you don’t think that learning how to read and use body language is important, here are some numbers for you. 7% of the information we receive is from what people actually say and 38% of the information we receive is from the tone and the speed of their voice; while 55% of the information we receive is from their body language.These non-verbal (非口头的) signals will help you a lot, but you still need to focus on what people are saying. If you focus too much on their body language signals, you and the person may feel uncomfortable. It’s useful to be able to read people’s language, but it’s useful to learn how to send the right signals and avoid the wrong signals too. Body language may be given several explanations. Many signals have different meanings, depending on the person and the situations(情况). Be sure of it when you are trying to read a body language signal.37．The numbers mentioned in the second paragraph are to ________.A．explain what body language isB．show the importance of body languageC．tell us body language is less used than verbal languageD．tell us body language is the only tool in communication38．According to the writer, body language is very ________.A．simple to learn B．negative to be usedC．hard to understand D．helpful in communication 39．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A．Body language is uncomfortable.B．What people are saying is not important.C．Body language can show your feeling.D．To send wrong signals is not body language. 40．We can infer (推断) that the writer will most probably talk about ________ next.A．what the wrong body language signals areB．examples of how to understand body language correctlyC．numbers about how many people wrongly use body languageD．an analysis (分析) of why people wrongly understand body language阅读短文及文后选项、选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

She looked at me coldly with sad, dark eyes.I waited, getting angry and wanted to shout, “I 4 here for at least three minutes!” Controlling my anger, I remembered Mom’s words. “Whenever something unpleasant happens to you, 5 what is missing. If someone is unkind, then 6 is missing. If someone is hateful, then love is missing. If you know what’s missing, we had better provide 7 .” And here in the restaurant, service was missing.

My friend Amy told me about her 16 to a small town called Gary, and how it 17 her life. I made up my mind to go there.When I told my parents about it, they didn’t 18 at first. They thought I didn’t know much about the place. It might be 19 for me to go there alone. Thankfully, after I explained my 20 plan to them, including what to do, whom to go with and how to keep safe there, they said yes.When our group arrived in Gary, 21 , I found the town was different from where I lived. I never imagined there were few stores or restaurants there and most had closed. So it would be very 22 if you could find a place to buy food or drinks. Many houses had broken doors or windows. My job was to 23 them. The workdays were long and hot, but it was really good to see the houses taking on a new look with bright colours.The children there were also different. They enjoyed every moment in life. For example, when they received an ice-cream, they would hold it carefully and taste every bit of it 24 . It seemed that they wanted to keep the wonderful taste forever. Besides, everyone here knew each other and was there when someone needed help.

To relax, they invented many games. Here are some of them.ChuiwanChuiwan was very popular in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). “Chui” means “hit” and “wan” means “ball”. This sport was similar to golf. On a large field, the players were divided into two groups. Usually there were 2 to 10 people in each group. Everyone had three chances to hit the ball into holes with a stick. Only when the balls were hit into the hole 3 times, could the player win the point.ArcheryIn Western Zhou Dynasty (1046-771BC), archery was an important part of education for gentlemen. At 15, they began learning archery. The most famous competition was Grand Archery. It was held by the emperor, the head of the country. The competitors greeted each other before shooting arrows and drank together after it. As one of the six Chinese arts, archery didn’t become popular until Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the emperors used archery to fight, and to make themselves fit.CujuFirst recorded 2,000 years ago, cuju is known as the earliest form of football: The ball was made of hard leather on the outside and filled with feathers or rice bran inside. As a fun game, cuju was first used in the army to train soldiers. Its rules were similar to the rules of football. Each team usually had 12 or 16 players. No hands were allowed. Only feet and head could be used. The ball should be hit into the other team’s goal.26．What sport was chuiwan similar to?A．B．C．D．27．Which is not the reason for people to learn archery across history?A．To educate young people.B．To protect themselves from attack.C．To keep strong.D．To compete against emperors.28．What can we know about cuju?A．The ball was hard outside and empty inside.B．It was played by 12 or 16 players.C．It was invented to relax soldiers.D．Players could use head and feet to hit the ball.It was a week before I saw Captain Nemo again. Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had come to the top. I would go out and see thesunrise.Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to run away. When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so interested in Crespo Island. “I thought you preferred the sea.”“I do,” replied the Captain. “But these forests are under the sea.” During breakfast, he explained, “I have made diving suits that used special air tanks before I sent you the note. These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. Wonderful, isn’t it?” He said he had also made lights that worked in electric batteries. When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all.Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We stepped into a room and closed the door. The room was filled with water, and another door opened. We went through it, and we were on the sea floor. It was an amazing experience.We were about ten metres under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colours of the shells, fish and seaweed. Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area. We were going deeper and deeper.As we were a hundred metres under the water, we could still see quite well. Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” there were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical (垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small bushes grew under the large seaweed trees.Three hours later, we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but very sleepy. We all slept, and when we woke up, we explored further.(Adapted from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea) 29．According to paragraph 1-3, which is NOT true?A．In the beginning, I was on the ship Nautilus.B．Ned, Captain Nemo, and I would explore together.C．The Captain started the trip because of his love for the sea.D．Captain Nemo had made special suits for our exploration.30．In what order did the following events happen?a. We went through a door to the bottom of the sea.b. We reached the undersea forests.c. Captain Nemo invited me to explore the forests.d. Captain Nemo got ready for the trip.e. We saw colorful seashells and crossed a grassy area.A．d-c-a-e-b B．d-c-a-b-e C．c-d-a-e-b D．c-d-a-b-e 31．How did I feel when visiting the forest?A．Tired.B．Hungry.C．Amazed.D．Proud.32．What will the story probably continue to talk about?A．When they returned to their ship.B．What they dreamed about while sleeping.C．Why they felt so sleepy.D．How they travelled deeper.The XinjiangSalamandersKnown as Central Asian salamanders, the Xinjiang salamander is an amphibian （两栖动物）that has lived for more than 300 million years. For a long time, they were thought to have died out. In 1989, they were discovered again in Xinjiang. They are considered to be a living fossil of amphibians.Population:The population of Xinjiang salamanders has risen from around 1,700 in 2015 to over 3,000 in 2018.Appearancе:It’s a “four-footed fish” around 20 centimeters long and much smaller than other giant salamanders, with an oval body, long tail and smooth skin.Home:The Xinjiang salamander is only found around Tianshan Mountain, Xinjiang, but in no other places in the world.Food:Because of the bad weather in Tianshan Mountain, the Xinjiang salamanders do not have many kinds of food to eat. They mainly feed on insects in water, such as caddisflies, betonies and stoneflies.Behaviour:Xinjiang salamanders have poor eyesight. They often get lost on land, especially on cloudy and rainy days. They are afraid of light, so they often live under stones or grass. They also produce eggs under stones. If cows and sheep on the farm pass by, they would accidentally step on them. Salamanders have no natural enemies except themselves: young salamanders are often eaten by adult salamanders!Protection:The weather in Tianshan often changes greatly, making it difficult for the Xinjiang salamanders to live there. Besides, with decreasing wetlands and increasing human activities, its population dropped quickly. To protect the amphibians from dying out, a large nature reserve was set up in Wenquan County in 1997. People have also tried to protect the grassland and wetland where they live, and have built a monitoring system to learn about their growth. In 2016, a scientific research and education center was put into operation. In 2022, 139 baby salamanders were born there.33．What does the underlined sentence try to show about Xinjiang salamanders?A．They can live longer than dinosaurs.B．They are old, so they can become valuable fossils.C．They appeared in ancient times but have lived till now.D．They are thought to be the oldest living animals.34．What can we know about Xinjiang salamanders from the passage?A．Their population grew fast from 2015 to 2018.B．They are almost as big as other giant salamanders.C．They can also be found outside Xinjiang.D．They have rich food choices.35．Which helps Xinjiang salamanders keep safe?A．Living with farm animals.B．Lying under stones and grassland.C．Travelling on land in terrible weather.D．Keeping baby and adult salamanders together.36．What’s the purpose of the passage?A．To explain how Xinjiang salamanders become living fossils.B．To tell new discoveries about Xinjiang salamanders.C．To show general information about a special salamander.D．To encourage people to visit surprising salamanders in Xinjiang.How are animals communicating with each other? In the past, we could only study this by watching animals carefully or teaching them human language. But now with the help of AI and machine learning, we may be able to understand their languages!All around the animal world, there are sounds that we can hardly pick up and understand. Elephants, for example, talk with each other using infrasound—too low for humans to hear. Bats communicate with ultrasound—too high for humans to hear. However, by putting field recorders in trees, on mountaintops, and even on the backs of whales and birds, scientists can collect their sounds.After the sounds are recorded, AI can study their meanings. For example, a team of Israeli scientists used AI to get the meanings of bats’ 15,000 calls. They found that more than 60% of them were fights and disagreements about four things: food, sleep positions, personal space, and unwanted advances. This is surprising as bats are thought to be quiet animals!The new technology can not only understand animal talks, but also communicate back to them. For example, scientists in Germany studied how bees used sounds and dances to speak. Then they put the bee language system into a robot bee, and hid it in a bee hive where bees live. The robot gave orders to the other bees, like “quiet down” or “stop”, and they would follow.Why is it important to understand animals’ words? It is the first step to give other kinds of creatures on Earth a chance to express themselves. The natural world is full of conversations. But we are only able to understand one of them. By using AI, we are better able to listen to them, especially those in faraway places like deep seas and mountain tops.Though AI has proved itself to be useful, we have to think about the problems it may bring. What problems would there be if one day we could use animal robots to “talk” to real animals? Will humans use the technology to control or hurt the animals? What can we do to stop these? We’d better think about these problems before we act.37．How can AI and machine learning help people understand animals?a. By teaching human language to animals.b. By picking up sounds humans cannot hear.c. By working out the meaning of animals’ sounds.d. By teaching animals to understand robots’ words.e. By learning animal languages to talk with them.A．a, b, c B．a, c, d C．b, c, e D．c, d, e38．What does the underlined word “This” refer to in paragraph 3?A．The group of Israeli scientists.B．The study on bats’ disagreements.C．The number of bats’ calls.D．The finding on bats’ calls.39．Why is it meaningful to understand animals’ languages?A．It makes it possible for animals to be heard.B．It proves human’s ability to understand and control animals.C．It helps discover more animals in the faraway places.D．It allows humans to listen to animals more clearly.40．What does the writer think of the technology?A．He is surprised at it.B．He is afraid of it.C．He is careful about it.D．He is satisfied with it.A smile shows that a person is happy. For example, a person may smile when he or she is satisfied with a grade on a test. Or a person might smile if a friend tells a funny joke. People smile for many different reasons. But smiles are more than just a way for people to show their happinessand joy. 41First, it is easier to smile than to show unhappiness. In fact, it only takes 17 muscles (肌肉) to smile. On the other hand, it takes 43 muscles to show unhappiness. 42Second, smiles show you are kind and polite. People may try to look nice on the outside by exercising or wearing nice and proper clothes. 43 That is because it is easy to be around someone who is smiling and happy.Third, smiles have power. 44 If one person smiles, people around him or her want to smile, too. Similarly, when a person laughs, people will be likely to laugh with him or her. If a person is sad, the best thing to do is to share a smile or laugh. It is the easiest and cheapest way to cheer someone up.Finally, smiling and laughing are very good for the body. 45 You’ll find that it will be hard to stay mad or sad for very long.A．Even if you are mad or sad, try smiling.B．There are other good reasons for smiling often.C．So give the muscles in your face a rest and smile!D．Both smiling and laughing can easily pass from one person to another.E．However, as the saying goes, “a smile is the best thing a person can wear.”三、短文填空根据短文的内容及首字母提示写出文中所缺单词。

I have volunteered in different projects and done different types of work.However，no matter what work I was given，I loved it the same and I often encourage others to give it a go. Here are the main reasons why I think voluntary work is worth doing.① It's a chance to get experience and skills.When volunteering，you are doing a job，even though you're not being paid. So you can get valuable experience and skills which are likely to be useful in the future. For example，some voluntary work can develop your soft skills such as how to work in a team.② You can meet new people.One of the best things about volunteering is meeting the other volunteers!They are likely to be very interesting and inspiring people like you，so you may make good friends in this way.③▲Many people who do voluntary work say that it has helped them to feel more confident in all kinds of ways. For example，I have always been quite a shy person，but my volunteering experience has helped me to build confidence. Now I feel more comfortable talking to strangers，and even in front of a crowd!④ You can have lots of fun!Doing an activity that you don't always do，with someone like you，will bring a lot of fun. If you volunteer in an Animal Rescue Centre，you can help take care of animals and play with them. In return，they will bring you a lot of happiness. You will also feel good，knowing that you are doing something for a good reason.Most importantly，as the saying goes "The roses in her hand，flavor in mine. " We can actually get a lot through helping others. Therefore，I suggest that you look for volunteering chances in your community or city. There are many different things that you can get started with. You can start with something small. Remember thatany type of volunteering is good and valuable.33．What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 2 "give it a go" mean?A．let it go B．have a tryC．do it yourself D．make up their minds34．Which of the following statement can be put in the blank ▲?A．You can talk to strangers.B．You can help other people.C．It's a way to become more confident.D．It's a way to improve your social skills.35．How does the writer explain Reason 3?A．By sharing a personal experience.B．By listing some numbers.C．By telling an interesting story.D．By comparing some facts.36．What is the writer's main opinion on voluntary work?A．You will be skillful in the team work.B．V oluntary work makes interesting and inspiring people.C．Helping others is helping yourself.D．Beginners should start working near home.阅读理解An endangered species is a group of animals that could soon die out. Many species could disappear very soon if we don't do anything to save them. There are many reasons why species become endangered but most of them are because of humans. However，there are things that we can do to save endangered species.Habitat （栖息地）destruction is the main reason why animals become endangered. When humans move into a new area，the animals' habitat is destroyed and there is nothing to eat because humans cut down trees and build houses and farms.Endangered species are also the result of overhunting and overfishing. Some seal species are endangered because they are killed for their fur to make coats. Tigers are shot to make medicine and crocodiles are caught to make bags and shoes. Other animals are killed for their fur，bones or skin，or just for sports.
