She     2     up suddenly and decided that she had to go outside for some fresh air. Maybe her neighbour Georgia would want to     3     with her.

“Mum,” she called, “can I go outside and play with Georgia?”

“Absolutely not!” her mum replied. “Even though it looks     4     now, it’s going to rain later and I don’t want you to get wet.”

Taking no care of her mum’s warning, Isha stuck to her     5    . Her mum had gone upstairs to do some work in her office, so Isha had the     6     to sneak (偷偷地走;溜) out of the house and call out Georgia. Luckily, she     7    .

Isha’s     12     was beating fast as she tried to sneak back into the house without being     13     by her mum. However, to Isha’s surprise, her mum was waiting     14     in the living room for her.

Kids in British schools can do many sports. In most British schools, children do two hours or more of sports every week, and they can choose from between 15 and 20 different sports. Here are several students talking about their school sports.

“I’m Craig Hopkins, and I’m in Year 11 at Park School. I love playing football and cricket. My favorite sport is rowing. There is a big lake near my school, and we go there once a week to row. I’m in the school team and two or three times a year we row against teams from schools in other parts of the country.”

“Hi, I’m Julia in Year 11 at River School. Though I’m not in any team, I can swim, play tennis and baseball at school. I love orienteering (越野识途比赛) most! In orienteering, you have to run and run—but you have to find where to go, too! You have a map and a compass, and you have to get to a place as fast as possible. It’s great fun—even when it’s raining!”

“I’m Brendan. I have played handball with Newcastle Tigers for nearly two years. It’s a very enjoyable team sport. In summer we played on the beach. This year I won the best player of the year award for my outstanding training attitude and hard work. I also joined a handball club at school and some other school sports too.”

16．What’s the favorite sport of Craig?

A．Rowing. B．Football. C．Orienteering. D．Handball.

17．Why could Brendan win the award?

A．He won many competitions. B．He had a gift for handball playing.

C．He joined a professional handball club. D．He had a good training attitude and worked hard.

I’m about to begin my fifth season of tree planting. Each year, around this time, I have mixed feelings about the job. After enjoying the warmth of my home for the winter months, I begin to miss the challenges of life in the bush.

In the early hours of the morning, we join our team—normally 6 to 12 men and women. Some of us will be covered in suncream and dirt. Our trucks travel deep into the woodlands. When we step out of the trucks, we’re faced with a hillside that has just been logged (砍伐) and is covered with piles of logs (原木) and branches.

We quickly fill our bags with hundreds of tiny trees. Skilled tree-planters treat this more like a sport than a job, and competition fills the air. Once our bags are full, we jump from log to log. We fall many times, always pushing ourselves to go faster.

Daily pains get to us all. We feel uncomfortable in the heat, deal with cold at night and suffer from anger. But beautiful moments are always waiting. I remember, lying in my tent one night, listening to a pack of wolves howling in the distance. The season afterward I came across a bobcat that was sitting and calmly staring at us.

I’ve worked with a 62-year-old tree-planting legend (传奇人物) called Grant—believed to have planted seven million trees in 40 years. Once he got caught in a rockslide and broke his back. It took him years to recover, but he came back stronger than ever. His passion (热爱) for the job reminds me of what I love about it.

Tree planting is a laboratory of self-growth. You master your mind and face the worst and the best in your nature. A new version of yourself awaits at the end of the experience. And after sleeping in a tent all summer, you learn never to take your bed for granted. So value what you have had and face the challenges in your life with great passion.

19．Why does the author plant trees?

A．To be well-known. B．To make a living.

C．To challenge himself. D．To learn planting skills.

20．Which of the following could best describe Grant?

A．Honest. B．Quiet. C．Humorous. D．Strong-willed.

21．What does the underlined part in the last paragraph probably mean?

A．You need to be yourself. B．You can be more careful.

C．You should be thankful for what you own. D．You should take your bed with you next time.

22．What is the best title for the text?

A．Crying in the Bush B．Planting with Passion

C．A Lesson from Grant D．A Mistake in the Wild

An electronic book—known as an e-book—is the text and art of a book published in digital form. Some say the convenience of a digital book beats the benefits of reading a real book, that is, a book printed on paper. Is that true?

A famous writer once wrote, “You can find magic wherever you look. Sit back and relax. All you need is a book!” Back then, of course, he meant a book printed on paper, but today that’s not the only way to read one. People can choose to read a real book, or they can read an e-book on an e-reader device (设备) or a computer. Many people like reading e-books because they are convenient and easy to carry.

However, a real book can never be replaced. There is nothing better than the feel of a real book, from the weight of it in your hand to the satisfaction of turning each page. It’s part of the experience of reading—just like going to a library or bookstore and turning the pages of a book freely. Scrolling (滚屏) through a device isn’t the same. And not every kind of book translates well to digital. Plus, e-books can require expensive devices that need to be charged (充电), as well as Internet access to download books. That’s not always possible or convenient. A printed book, however, doesn’t have to be connected to be enjoyed. What’s more, when reading a real book, you can feel a pleasure of the mind, which will help you get information and remember it more effectively. And it contributes towards developing the communication skills and unlock our imagination.

In 2022, sales of e-books in the US totaled about $ 1 billion, while real books sales hit $ 9.1 billion. In a survey, 30% of Americans who read books chose e-books, while most still prefer real books. Besides, research shows that understanding improves when people read books in print, rather than in digital form.

23．Why do some people like reading e-books?

A．E-books provide more understanding.

B．E-books are convenient and easy to carry.

C．E-books increase printing costs and paper use.

D．E-books benefit people with reading difficulties.

24．What can we know from paragraph 3?

A．People are too busy to read a real book.

B．Children are into reading e-books nowadays.

C．It is enjoyable to read real books in a library.

D．All the real books can be translated well to digital.

25．What’s the purpose of listing numbers in the last paragraph?

A．To stress the importance of reading books.

B．To show the popularity of reading real books.

C．To give examples of American best-selling books.

D．To compare the differences of the two reading habits.

26．What’s the main idea of the text?

A．Reading habits are changing

B．Reading books is a good habit

C．Real books benefit us in many ways

D．Nothing compares to reading an e-book

There are millions of teenagers using social media every day. Although some people think social media is a positive thing, many are worried about the negative influences it can have on young people.

Many teenagers agree that social media helps them stay connected to their friends and make new friends from around the world. More and more teenagers are willing to share their life and thoughts online. Thanks to advances in technology, how teenagers make friends and communicate with each other has changed greatly.

However, social media also has many disadvantages, one of which is that some parents believe social media makes it harder for families to spend time together. They say that things on the Net seem super appealing, and that their kids can’t take their eyes off the screen. As a result, teenagers pay no attention to the rest of their family.

Another serious problem is that social media makes bullies (霸凌者) easier to reach their goals. A great many people have experienced cyberbullying—bullying that takes place online. So how can teenagers protect themselves if the cyberbullying has taken place? Gwen Taylor, an expert from a charity, which works to end online bullying, suggests, “The first thing to do is to tell a trusted adult about what is going on.” “If someone posts content that frightens you, you can report it to the social media platform. You’d better keep the screenshot (屏幕截图) of the behavior because this will help you to report it and help others to help you,” says Taylor.

Perhaps the more effective way is to try to be a good digital citizen. How you act online is just as important as how others treat you. Good digital citizens use online spaces positively, which means treating everybody online with kindness and respect. Respect other people’s feelings and don’t be mean (刻薄的). “If you have shared something you shouldn’t have, it’s never too late to say sorry and fix the situation—such as taking the post down. If you notice somebody is being cyberbullied, consider reporting it and getting in touch with the person being treated badly to make sure he is OK,” Taylor advises.

27．What’s the advantage of social media according to the passage?

A．It helps teenagers make more friends.

B．It enables teenagers to do more exercise.

C．It makes teenagers focus on their schoolwork.

D．It offers teenagers chances to stay with families.

28．What does the underlined word “appealing” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Interesting. B．Tiring. C．Traditional. D．Scary.

29．What should teenagers do when faced with cyberbullying?

A．Believe it’s not a big deal. B．Keep the problem a secret.

C．Never surf the Internet again. D．Tell a trusted adult what happened.

30．Which statement would the author most probably agree with?

A．Teenagers are too shy to share their opinions online.

B．All the teenagers have learned the rules of being safe online.

C．Teenagers should be responsible for their words and actions online.

D．It’s wise to keep silent when you find your friend is being bullied online.

三、补全对话7选5

根据对话内容，从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。

A: Hey, Linda. You look so worried.     31   

B: Yes, it’s my dog Lulu. She didn’t feel well this morning.

A: Not yet. But I’m planning to keep one. A cat, maybe.

B:     34   

A: Cats are always gentle, and they don’t need much space since they’re small.

B: It’s true. But you still need to be responsible and take care of it very carefully.

A:     35     Having a pet is far more than just playing with it.

If you live in the cities in England, there will be a great chance that you may meet a fox in real life. Some animals need special habitats (栖息地) or food.

A city like London can be really busy and     52     (noise), but it still has quiet corners where foxes can sleep. It also has fox food such as mice and foods dropped by people.

They are     54     smart that they can even remember all the safe corners where they can escape.

Form healthy eating habits

Getting into good eating habits benefits us a lot. For one thing, it helps us build up our body. For another, it gives us the energy we need to make the most of the day.

In order to form healthy eating habits, we’d better take a variety of foods and not be picky. It’s a good choice for us to eat vegetables, tofu, and meat that are all rich in nutrients. At the same time, we should avoid fast food and eat fewer foods high in fat, salt and sugar.

“You are what you eat”, as the old saying goes. So try to form good eating habits and stay healthy.
