"The past winter season I have put some Chinese elements （元素）in my performance，" Liu told reporters after the win. "I am happy to win but I am also here to learn and communicate."A Young Speed Skater18﹣year﹣old Jordan Stolz became the youngest person ever to win a world speed skatinggold medal.As the weekend went on，he won two other gold medals.By the time he was in fifth grade，Stolz was winning national championships.In high school，he went to school online so that he could train for up to six hours a day.In February，2023，Stolz won four gold medals.The medals were for 500﹣meter，1000﹣meter，and 5000﹣meter races，and the team sprint （短跑）.An American SpeedcuberStanley Chapel，one of the world's fastest "speedcubers"，who can quickly solve a Rubik's Cube （魔方）.He also is a skilled violinist.Stanley says the two fields go hand in hand.Not only does Chapel say he has equal interest in both，but the 21 ﹣year ﹣old boy says the violin helps him succeed in speed cubing.At the 2019 world cube championship，the recent high school graduate won both events.（1）In which section of the newspaper can we read the news？ .A.PEOPLEB.BOOKSC.BIG EVENTSD.FUN GAMES（2）China's 17﹣year﹣old Liu Qingyi .A.is sure to attend 2024 Summer Olympic GamesB.adds Chinese elements into her performanceC.never communicates with othersD.could always win（3）Jordan Stolz .A.has won several gold medals so farB.was trained 8 hours a day in high schoolC.went to school online in the 5th gradeD.took part in 2 kinds of races in 2023（4）Stanley Chapel can do the following things EXCEPT .A.play the violinB.solve a Rubik's CubeC.win a championshipD.dance for the people（5）All the news above .A.shows some outstanding young peopleB.tells some stories about sportsC.talks about some big events in the worldD.introduces different players in Olympic Games34．（10分）Roger Federer，a world ﹣famous sports star，quit （放弃）the 2020 Olympic Games to deal with his knee problem.It was a hard decision because no one wanted to be a quitter.But finding the courage to let go can be good for you.★Maybe your heart isn't in playing the piano any more，or you only play football because your friends do and you want to try a different sport instead.Making the decision to walk away can free up time and energy to spend on something you really enjoy.In fact，studies show that letting go of goals you can't reach，or don't really want，can build up your confidence and help you lead a happier and healthier life.But how can you know it's time to stop and move on？Eric Bean is an expert in sports psychology （心理学）who helps athletes and teams understand their feelings.He says，"Quitting never a matter of black and white." He suggests thinking carefully.about why you aren'tenjoying something any more.Is it because you've argued with a teammate or can't get on with a new art teacher？Talk about this with a trusted adult or friend.That can help you decide whether you should stay and stick，or quit and move on.Quitting doesn't have to mean totally giving up，though.For example，playing an instrument might be more fun if you take away the pressure of exams.If you do decide to give up an activity，Bean suggests picking up another where you can still enjoy things like teamwork，creativity，and exercise.（1）The writer mentions "Roger Federer" to show that .A.we should never give upB.it's all right to stop and quitC.we should get away from troubleD.it's difficult to win Olympic medals（2）Which of the following can be put in ★？ A.Roger did something special.B.It's necessary to try your best.C.Sometimes learning to let go is important.D.Let's enjoy happy life.（3）According to the writer，learning to let go is important because we can .A.learn about perseveranceB.have more trusted friendsC.reach some important goalsD.feel more confident in ourselves（4）By saying the underlined sentence，Eric Bean means that .A.it's not good to stick at things we don't likeB.we don't have to take exams to show our true abilitiesC.we should think twice before quitting an activityD.it's wiser to pick up a new hobby than to keep the old one（5）Which could be the best title for the passage？ A.Knowing When to StopB.Working Hard to Move onC.Learning How to Grow upD.Taking Away the Pressure35．（10分）Born at the Beijing Zoo，China's giant panda Yaya was taken to the Memphis Zoo in Tennessee，the United States in 2003 for a research project.In December 2022，the Memphis Zoo announced （宣布）that it would return Yaya to China.After finishing her 20﹣year loan period （租借期），China's giant panda Yaya finally returned home from the US on April 27，2023.In January，visitors in the Memphis Zoo found that Yaya became bony，making many Chinese and animal lovers abroad worried about her health and life quality at the Memphis Zoo.China prepared to welcome back Yaya and experts from the Beijing Zoo arrived in the US in March to learn about her habits and feeding situation from the zoo staff members.Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said that the quarantine （检疫）and feeding places for Yaya were ready along with her feeding plans and medical care.The news that Yaya is coming back to China has cheered up millions of Chinese people.By April 9，a topic about Yaya had received 250 million views.

Cars were running in line through a tunnel(隧道) when someone shouted suddenly, “The car is on fire !”The smoke spread quickly before people realized what had happened. At that moment, three firemen who were on vacation showed up. They got out of a taxi and ran towards the burning car. At the same time, they asked people there to leave the tunnel as quickly as possible.The tunnel was filled with heavy smoke during a very short time and it was difficult for people to see clearly. With the flashlight of a phone, the firemen found a fire hydrant (消防栓) on the wall , not far from the burning car.All of a sudden, they heard a kid crying. One of the firemen found a lady holding a kid in her arms and that she was trying to take her daughter out of the tunnel. The fireman helped her. As soon as he sent them out of the tunnel, he turned back and then disappeared in the smoke before the lady asked his name.The three firemen worked together and the fire was under control soon. By the time the fire engines (消防车) arrived, the fire had almost been put out. All the cars in the tunnel, except the burnt one, were fine. And nobody got hurt.“The fire was unexpected,” a driver said. “Luckily, we had three reliable firemen. We can always depend on our soldiers.”16．The firemen were in a taxi when the accident happened.17．It was difficult for people to see clearly because there was no light.18．One fireman helped the mother and daughter out of the tunnel.19．The fire had been put out before the fire engines arrived.20．Thanks to the three firemen, all the people in the tunnel were safe.If a person lost an arm, how could he still play basketball well? Zhang Jiacheng, a 13-year-old boy from Guangdong Province, made it and surprised everyone.Zhang’s right arm was cut off in an accident when he was five. It was a very sad eventgetting dressed on his own, he learned to live with one hand. He also did well in school and helped his family with the housework.Zhang first discovered his love for basketball when he had a basketball class in 2018. Soon, he was seldom without a ball in his hand. Whether it was rainy or windy, he never stopped playing basketball. He even practised dribbling (运球) the ball at home.After a short video of the teenager playing a one-on-one competition was shared online, Zhang soon became well-known. The young boy was playing his such excellent basketball skills that some people didn’t realise he had only one arm. The video even caught the attention of NBA player Stephen Curry. “Keeping doing and don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t,” said Curry after watching the video.“I am very excited that I have received much attention,” said Zhang. “My biggest dream is to become a basketball player. With the encouragement from all these people, I’ll do better and better.”21．Zhang Jiacheng ________ in 2015.A. began playing basketballB. became well-known onlineC. gave up his studyD. lost one of his arms22．The underlined word “optimistic” means ________ in Chinese.A. 震惊的B. 乐观的C. 焦虑的D. 懊恼的23．According to Paragraph 3, Zhang Jiacheng is very ________.A. patientB. independentC. hard-workingD. popular24．What can we learn about Zhang Jiacheng from the short video?A.

Accidents will happen.B. It’s health that matters.C. Let the hands get busy, not the mouth.D. Nothing is difficult to a man who will try.Last year, I went to Italy as an exchange student. Before leaving, I asked my mother what gifts I should take to the teachers and the students there. Mom said that the Chinese fan was a good choice, for China is praised as "the Fan Kingdom". I couldn't agree more, because it is more than a tool for cooling. It's also an important part of Chinese culture.I went shopping and bought three kinds of Chinese fans. The first kind was the feather（羽毛）fan for the teachers, which was made of bird feathers. It was the symbol of Zhuge Liang, a very smart man in ancient China. The fans I bought for the girls were silk fans. They were also called "round silk fans". Fans of this kind were made of silk with paintings of beautiful women, birds or flowers. They were very popular with women of all ages. As for the boys, I picked the folding fans from Rongchang, a place in the west of Chongqing. The folding fans were made of paper and bamboo and there were great paintings and calligraphy（书法）on them.At the welcome party in Italy, my new teachers and classmates were all excited to get the wonderful fans. And they were even more excited after learning about the stories and culture behind them.26．The writer went to Italy for ________ last year.A.learningB.travelingC.teachingD.shopping27．The folding fans the writer bought were made in ________.A.DazuB. TongliangC. RongchangD.Wulong 28．According to the passage, the writer gave the fans like the one in Picture ________ to the girls.A. B.C.

Two of them got upset.On the third morning, they arrived earlier. Still no news came. By mid-day, most of themOnly one man was different. He was happy all those days. He kept smiling while the others complained (抱怨).At the end of that day, the boss appeared. To their disappointment, the boss said that their interview had ended and only one of them was chosen. It was the man who kept happy. Then the boss added, "We want someone who can keep happy in whatever situations. Keeping happy is an ability."30．The five people were waiting for _______.A. a meetingB. an interviewC. a phone callD. a meal31．The underlined word "irritated" in Paragraph 4 probably means "_______".A.愤怒的B.快活的C. 放松的D. 胆怯的32．The man was chosen because _______.A. he listened to the othersB. he cared for othersC. his answers were betterD. he kept happy33．The passage probably comes from _______.A. a dictionaryB. a posterC. a magazineD. a noticeHi Tom,Thanks for your message and I am glad that you wrote to me for ideas.I remember when I was learning English, I felt uncomfortable about speaking. I could remember lots of words and knew grammar rules, but speaking was difficult. I now feel a lot more confident about speaking, so here are some ideas that I have taken from my own experience.Don't worry about making mistakes. Other people will still know your meaning and they probably won't notice your mistakes.Use every chance you get to speak. For example, it's a good idea to use only English in class and not to speak to your classmates in your own language. At home, you should also try practicing new words and grammar learnt in class.Think about extra speaking practice outside the classroom. You can join a conversationgroup, such as the chat groups in the study centre. They are free to join.Practice speaking online. There are lots of websites where you can communicate with someone from all around the world.I hope this helps you and please come to me if you have other problems.Best wishes,Eliza 34．根据短文内容填空。

After the teacher handed out the exam paper, he left the room and never came back. A student collected in the papers when the exam ended.“That test was not only a test of knowledge, but also a test of moral (道德). We wanted to show students how important honesty is,” said Cai Wenguo, the school’s headmaster. The school says no cheating(作弊) happened in the test. Next year, it wants 80％of its exams to be without teachers. But students have different ideas.“I was happy and excited during the exam because my teachers trusted me,” said Lang Yudan, a 13-year-old girl in Class 11.“Schools must trust students a lot not to use invigilators（监考人). But I think it is too early. Some students will cheat if there are no invigilators. And the students will not be able to ask for help when needed.” said Hua Sha.“I don’t like having invigilators in exams. When they walk around the classroom, they make me nervous. I would get higher marks without them in the room because I would feel more relaxed.” Liu Qingxi said.“I think it’s very important to have invigilators in exams. Many students want to check their answers with each other after they have finished papers. And they can also keep the classroom in order when something unusual happens. They may make me nervous, but I still think we need them.” Shang Guanyuan said.Not using invigilators may be a good idea. But before using it, schools must tell students the importance of honesty and try to find ways to solve something unusual in exams.1. The passage mainly talks about ______.A.how to pass an examB. how to make students honestC. whether there is cheating in examsD. whether invigilators are needed in exams2.

Now people often call it White Tower. It’s on the north bank of the River Thames（泰晤士河）, next to the Tower Bridge. You can cross the bridge over the River Thames and turn right onto Lower Thames Street. After a 15-minute walk, the Tower is on your right. Between the river and the Tower is Tower Wharf, a beautiful free road with excellent views of the river, tower and bridge, together with HMS Belfast and London City Hall on the opposite bank.The Tower of London is a historic monument in central London of England. William the Conqueror, first built it in 1078. However, the Tower as a whole is now made up of several buildings, including two rings of high walls and a river round the tower.

Why don’t you fly and meet me?”My father had just retire after 27 years as a manager for IBM. His job filled his day, his thought and his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall Peru. While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.My father sees me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wants me to settle down (安定下来), but now I want him to find an adventure.He agrees to travel with me through the national parks. We meet four weeks later in Rapid City.“What is our first stop?” asks my father.“What time is it?”“Still don’t have a watch?”Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore. As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite (花岗岩), his mouth and eyes open slowly like those of little boy.“Unbelievable”, he says, “How was this done?”A film in the information center shows sculptor (雕塑家) Gutzon Borglum devoted14 years to the sculpture and then left the final touches to his son.We stare up and I ask myself.

We loved each other---but never said it. Whatever he could give me he gave.”The last sentence---it’s probably the same thing I say about my father. And whatI’d want my child to say about me.In Glacier National Park my father says, “I’ve never seen water so blue.”I have in several places of the world, I can keep traveling, I realize--- and maybe a regular job won’t be as dull as I feared.Weeks after our trip I call my father. “The photos from the trip are wonderful” he says. “We have got to take another trip like that sometime.

Every year, there is a special day for people around the world to celebrate the importance of good and healthy sleep-World Sleep Day.Sleep is like food for the brain. 1People of different ages need different amounts（数量）of sleep. According to the National Sleep Foundation（国家睡眠基金会）in the US, adults should get seven to eight hours of sleep a night.Teenagers need nine to ten hours. 23 The China Youth and Children Research Center said that about 80 percent of middle school students don't get enough sleep. It has influenced students' school life.Students without enough sleep may get poor grades. 4To solve this problem, scientists advise that students should get less schoolwork and more time to sleep.Taking a 20-minute sleep at noon is also useful. 5 For example, try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends and during holidays.五、任务型阅读（本题共计1小题，总分10分）22.（10分）The Spring Festival is coming! It's a fun time for kids to get red envelopes (红包). In China, the color red means happiness and luck. So people give red envelopes to send their best wishes. People do the same when they come to a birthday party of a relative or an elderly person, or visit someone who has just given birth to baby.It's believed that the tradition of giving red envelopes dates back (追溯到) to the Qing Dynasty. The elder could thread (串成串) coins with red or colorful strings. They thought this kind of coins could protect their children from sickness and death. Later, people used red envelopes instead of the red strings.Now, giving and receiving red envelopes are very common to every Chinese. It's more like a way to communicate with others. When you give a red envelope, just as what everyone else does, you feel a part of the circle. But this tradition also has its downsides. Most young people, who have just started their careers, can't afford to give a lot of money. Xiao Jun, who has just found a job recently, said, "I feel stressed about the custom. At present I don't have enough money. Of course you can choose not to give envelopes. But you may gradually (渐渐地) find yourself out of some social activities.Some people are calling for a change to the tradition. They argue that we don't have to give money to show our good wishes. In the UK and the US, people often just give pretty cards to the person they want to bless (祝福). Close friends give gifts, but the gifts are usually things that are not very expensive. In this way, people can get on with each other easily and happily.根据短文内容回答下列问题（每小题答案不超过6个词）1. What does the color red mean?_______________________________________________________________________________2. What did the elder think could protect their children from sickness and death in the past? _________________________________________________________________________ ______3. How do the Chinese communicate with others now according to the passage?_________________________________________________________________________ ______4. What does Xiao Jun think of the custom?_________________________________________________________________________ ______5. What things do people often just give to the person they want to bless in the UK and the US?六、单词拼写（本题共计1小题，总分5分）23.（5分）根据句意和提示写出单词，完成句子。

person and I want to keep on being friends with her.What should I do？ZhengHi，Zheng.It's easy to feel hurt when you want to tell about your life but your friend rejects you.But maybe your friend is

help to talk with your friend about why you share about your life the way you do.This way，it can give your friend the idea behind your actions.Another thing to think about is what you are sharing with your friend.If you talk about an expensive thing you bought to a poor friend，they might feel bad for not having money like you do.But if you talk about other things like a book you enjoy reading，then they might not feel so bad.So，think about what you are sharing and how.If all of this doesn't work，then maybe you two just have different personalities.Then you just have to accept that you cannot be as close to her as you'd like.Pat（1）Why does Zheng write the email to Pat？ A.Because she did badly in her study.B.Because she had problems with her best friend.C.Because her best friend left

him，"Don't you see，Rick？You're getting so angry but you never try to understand why."Then she explained carefully，"All the people you were angry at did nothing wrong.The kids were showing off their

could be their characters or their musical talent.Or maybe it was their anxiety （焦虑）about math.A US study found that genetics can decide children's math skills and anxiety over math.It studied over 500 sets of twins and found that genetics has something to do with math anxiety.Over 10 years，the twins did math tests and filled out questions about their math anxiety.They found that fraternal twins （twins with different genetics）had different skills and anxiety over math.Identical twins（twins with the same gene set）were similar.This shows genes can influence（影响）people's anxiety over math.Math anxiety has a stronger influence on a child's abilities.It could bring the same feeling as being hurt in the body.This anxiety means that students will not want to practice math as much as they should.Then，they become even worse at math.It only adds to their anxiety about it.But if you're bad at math，don't just look at your parents.Math anxiety is still rare ﹣genetic reasons explained about
