When I was a kid, I couldn’t resist climbing trees. A sycamore tree grew in front of my home. At the age of 10. I was just tall enough to reach its lowest branch. Standing on that first branch, I was able to reach the others and climb my way up like a monkey, up into the higher branches until I found myself taking in my whole neighborhood from on high.
Climbing trees allowed me to enter another world. My friends and I took our imaginations with us to new heights, entering a fortress, a pirate ship or a spaceship. One summer, we spent so much time in the sycamore that my dad created a rope-and-pulley(绳索和滑轮)system with an attached basket, so my mom could send ham sandwiches to us.
With these memories in mind, I still have one question: Do kids still climb trees? In my small Maine town, there are some lovely maples and oaks, and their branches spread wide and open for exploration. But I have not yet seen a taker. Perhaps computer games have replaced tree-climbing, or maybe the activity came to be viewed as too risky. It is a sad loss.
The campus of the university where I teach now is lovingly landscaped with all sorts of trees, with some being incredibly old. During a recent walk, I found myself ducking under the branch of a spruce (云杉). I used my feet to scrabble my way up the trunk-none of this as easy as it once was-and a moment later I was up in the tree. Then the memories came flooding back.
I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t hear the student calling to me from below. He asked what I was doing. “Come on up,” I said. “The air’s fine.” But he only laughed, waved me off and continued on his way. He didn’t know what he was missing.
24. Why did the author enjoy climbing trees when he was a child?
A. It helped fire his imagination. B. It allowed him to see a fortress.
C. It let him swing on tree branches. D. It enabled him to overlook the city.
25. According to the author, what has stopped kids climbing trees?

C. The difficulty of finding suitable trees. D. The desire for more challenging activities.

27. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the article?
A. To describe the benefits of climbing trees. B. To persuade children to climb trees.
C. To share a joyful childhood memory. D. To present the fun of climbing trees.
C
When people get old and have difficulty working full time, they retire and begin a new, more relaxing lifestyle. But what about old industrial buildings? Can they start anew?
China seems to find a good solution for them. In recent years, many old factories, railway yards, warehouses and mills have been transformed into cultural and tourist sites. The 798 Art Zone in Beijing is an iconic example. Built in the 1950s as No 718 Joint Factory, it was gradually abandoned in the 1990s as production slowed down. In 2006, Beijing’s municipal government invested over 120 million yuan and improved its infrastructure condition, turning the factory complex into a cultural and creative industrial base. Now the art zone holds about 200 galleries, art centers as well as fashionable boutiques, cafes, and restaurants, which also earns it a place on the bucket list of many tourists, noted The Paper.
Jack Liu is a frequenter of the art zone who visits it every weekend. “In the art zone, you can refresh memories of the development of Chinese manufacturing through its old buildings,” said the 28-year-old to Teens. “However, in art galleries here you will feel pulled into a fashionable, modern world. It’s amazing.”
Industrial heritage sites, which used to be filled with the rumbling of machines, are now “precious pages of the book on the industrial culture of China,” noted People’s Daily. Since these heritage sites are rich and diverse in content, cities in China also spare no effort to explore new ways and models to protect and use them. For example, a beer museum has been set up inside a century-old plant of the Tsingtao Brewery in Qingdao, Shandong Province, bringing people closer to the long history of the brewery (啤酒厂).
Just as the elderly need our care and love, these industrial heritages are also expected to be injected with vitality through protection and development. “It is not only an unavoidable trend of the innovation-driven development of cities, but a necessity for promoting new drivers of development,” noted People’s Daily.
28. What is China’s solution for old industrial buildings?
A. Expanding their space and uses. B. Upgrading them to become attractions.
C. Integrating them with new buildings. D. Returning them to their original condition.
29. What do we know about the 798 Art Zone?
A. It was gradually abandoned in the 1950s.
B. It mainly provides venues for fashion shows.
C. It’s China’s first cultural and creative industrial base.
D. It’s a typical case of transforming old industrial sites.
30. Why does the author mention the beer museum?
A. To show the popularity of industrial heritage sites.
B. To explain the importance of renovating old plants.
C. To introduce the features of industrial heritage sites.
D. To tell how old industrial sites can be used effectively.
31. What does the author think of industrial heritage sites?
A. They deserve to be brought back to life. B. They can be drivers for city development.
C. They should give way to modern buildings. D. They are reminders of a city’s development.
D
Rain is vital to life on Earth. However, rain isn’t just made of water anymore — it’s partly made of plastic.
Millions of tiny pieces of plastic, called microplastics, are wandering around Earth’s atmosphere and traveling across entire continents, according to a study published in the Journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on April 12. Another study, published in the Journal Science in June 2020, has revealed that every year more than 1,000 tons of the particles (颗粒) — equivalent to over 120 million plastic bottles — fall in rain.
Microplastics are plastic particles less than 5 millimeters in diameter (直径) and come from a number of sources. Plastic bags and bottles released into the environment break down into smaller and smaller bits. Another major source is your washing machine. When you wash synthetic clothing, tiny microfibers get flushed away with the wastewater. Even though the water is treated by a wastewater plant, the microplastics remain, and they are released into the sea, according to American Magazine Wired.
Plastic rain may remind people of acid rain, but the former is far more widespread and harder to deal with. The tiny particles, too small to be seen with the naked eye, are collected by the wind from the ground. They are so light that they stay in the air to be blown around the globe. Some of the dust falls back to land in dry conditions, while the rest comes down as rain, according to the Daily Mail.
Microplastics have been found everywhere you can imagine. From fish and frogs to mice and mosquitoes, their bodies have been found, on average, to contain 40 pieces of microplastic, reported Daily Mail. As the top of the food chain, humans are exposed to microplastics, too. “We live on a ball inside a bubble,” microplastic researcher Steve Allen at University of Strathclyde, Scotland, told Wired. “There are no borders, there are no edges. It (plastic rain) rains on the land and then gets blown back up into the air again, to move somewhere else. There’s no stopping it once it’s out.”
32. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Ways to deal with microplastics. B. The wide use of microplastics.
C. How microplastics pollute water. D. How microplastics come into being.
33. What do we know about microplastics?
A. They have a diameter of at least 5 millimeters.
B. They have entered the human food chain.
C. They are light and can be easily dealt with.
D. They result in both acid rain and plastic rain.
34. What do Steve Allen’s words mean in the last paragraph?
A. No place on the globe is safe from microplastic pollution.
B. The atmosphere possesses the capacity to self-cleanse.
C. Countries should work together to fight plastic pollution.
D. It is important to remove microplastics somewhere else.
35. What’s the main purpose of the article?
A. To compare acid rain and plastic rain.
B. To warn people of the dangers of microplastics.
C. To introduce the sources and effects of microplastics.
D. To call on people to reduce using plastic products.

第二节（满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was a shy 13-year-old boy that year, afraid to speak before people and poor at communicating with others. My parents were worried, so they introduced a part-time job in a restaurant to me during the summer vacation, hoping it would make a difference to me. Although I hated it and didn’t believe it would bring any change to me, I had to accept it. The part-time job fell on Monday of each week.
On the first Monday, I simply dared not look at people in the restaurant. And when I was speaking with them, my face turned red and my voice was low. On my way back home, I felt so bad. But when I reached home, my bad feelings disappeared. I found my parents had brought home a pet cat, which I had expected to get for a long time. The cat was so lovely.
However, one Thursday, he secretly ran out and disappeared. We looked for him everywhere the whole day but found nothing. We lived in the city, close to a road. I guessed he would probably not be home again. And after three days of looking for the cat with no sign of him, I quite believed he wouldn’t be home again. My parents told me, “A miracle (奇迹) may happen as long as you don’t give up.” However, I quite doubted it.
On the morning of the following Monday, I left for work 45 minutes earlier and started walking to the bus stop a block away. While waiting for the bus there, I thought about the work and felt upset. It wouldn’t be helpful to me and it was tiring! How much I wanted to quit the job! And thinking of the cat, I felt even worse.
Since it was still early, I suddenly wanted to spare some time to look for the cat again though I had little hope. I told myself, ”If I still fail to find him this time, I won’t look for him again. “Then, I decided to walk to the next bus stop to look for him around. Minutes later, suddenly, a dirty and weak cat sitting by a tree caught my eye.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
My eyes widened, and I was surprised to find it was just our cat.


Encouraged, I rushed to the bus stop and decided not to give up the part-time job.
