Faisal Zaid Alshara'a, a fifth-grade student at the Ahl Al-Qur,an Islamic School &.

He then went on to qualify at the country level.Thanks to his success in the Challenge, Faisal finally felt comfortable with opening up and interacting with his classmates, who now look at him with pride and admiration rather than pity.
Faisal is now preparing for the sixth Arab Reading Challenge and is determined to reach the finals.

The huge structures of ancient Rome have survived for thousands of years—a testament to the abilities and wisdom of Roman engineers, who perfected the use of concrete. But how did their construction materials help keep grand buildings like the Pantheon(万神殿) (which has the world's largest unreinforced dome)and the Colosseum(斗兽场)standing for more than 2,000 years?
Roman concrete, in many cases, has proven to be longer-lasting than modern concrete, which can worsen within decades. Now, scientists behind a new study say they have uncovered the mystery ingredient that allowed the Romans to make their construction material so durable and build splendid structures in challenging places such as docks, sewers and earthquake zones.
The study team, including researchers from the United States, Italy and Switzerland, analyzed 2,000-year-old concrete samples that were taken from a city wall at the archaeological site of Privernum, in central Italy, and are similar in composition to other concrete found throughout the Roman Empire.
They found that white chunks(块)in the concrete, referred to as lime clasts(石灰碎屑),gave the concrete the ability to heal cracks that formed over time. The white chunks previously had been overlooked as evidence of careless mixing or poor-quality raw material.
The new finding could help make manufacturing today's concrete more sustainable, potentially shaking up society as the Romans once did."Conerete allowed the Romans to have an architectural revolution,"Masic said,"Romans were able to create and turn the cities into something that is extraordinary and beautiful to live in. And that revolution basically changed completely the way humans live.”
28.Why does the author mention the Pantheon and the Colosseum?
A.To express respect to Romans.
B.To introduce the topic of the text.
C. To show the wisdom of Roman engineers.
D.To prove the uniqueness of Roman architecture.
29.What make Roman architecture stand for more than 2,000 years according to the finding?
A.Complicated mixing skills.
B.Splendid architectural structures.
C.Challenging locations of the buildings.
D.White chunks in ancient Roman concrete.
30.What does Masic think of the new finding?
A.Important. B.Valueless. C.Unexpected. D.Doubtful.
31.In which section of a newspaper can we find the text?
A.Education. B.Travel. C.Science. D.Lifestyle.
D
A multi-institutional team of researchers conducted the first study to evaluate how the duration of nightly sleep early in the semester affects first year college students' end-of-semester grade point average (GPA), Using Fitbit sleep trackers, they found that students on average sleep 6.5 hours a night, but negative outcomes accumulate when students received less than six hours of sleep a night. The results are available in the Feb. 13 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Sleep guidelines recommend teenagers get 8 to 10 hours of sleep every night. Many college students experience irregular and insufficient sleep.
David Creswell, the William S. Dietrich Ⅱ Professor in Psychology and Neuroscience at the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences, led a team of researchers to evaluate the relationship between sleep and GPA."Animal studies have shown how critical sleep is for learning and memory," said Creswell."Here we show how this work translates to humans.The less nightly sleep a first year college student gets at the beginning of the school term predicts lower GPA at the end of the term. Lack of sleep may be hurting students' ability to learn in their college classrooms."
The study evaluated more than 600 first-year students across five studies at three universities. The students wore wrist Fitbit devices to monitor and record their sleep patterns. The researchers found that students in the study sleep on average 6.5 hours a night.More surprisingly, the researchers found that students who receive less than six hours of sleep experienced a pronounced decline in academic performance. In addition, each hour of sleep lost corresponded to a 0.07 decrease in end-of-term GPA.
"Once you start dipping(下降)below six hours, you are starting to accumulate massive sleep debt that can impair a student's health and study habits, compromising the whole system," said Creswell."Most surprising to me was that no matter what we did to make the effect go away, it persisted."
32.What is the recommended sleep duration for teenagers per night?
A.6 hours. B.6.5 hours. C.8 to 10 hours. D.Over 10 hours.
33.What's Paragraph 5 mainly talking about?
A.The process of the research. B.The reason for the research.
C.The result of the research. D. The shortage of the research.
34.What does the underlined word “impair” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Change. B. Damage. C.Improve. D.Attack.
35.What surprised Creswell most?
A. Sleep can influence college students'learning.
B. Many college students experience insufficient sleep.
C.College students have poor academic performance for lack of sleep.
D.The negative effect of insufficient sleep on college students won't disappear.

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。
One Summer's day, my Uncle Rick, Isaiah and I went to Police Outpost Lake to fish. I'd learned to fish from my dad. He'd taught me everything I knew about fishing. Then, he passed away.
"Why do I have to be so quiet?" asked Isaiah."All those birds are making way more noise than I ever could!"
I ignored him. Pulling back on my rod(杆),I remembered my dad's words."Jacob,gently bring your rod back. Keep the line up high."Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a few great northern loons(潜鸟)gathering together not far from the shoreline.What were they doing there? Maybe it was a family? One loon, making terrible sounds, swam away from the group, towards me.
My dad had been a fish and wildlife officer. He travelled all over the province, working away from home for days on end, especially in the spring and fall. When he returned, we sat on the couch together, and he told me stories of life on the road. My dad loved his job, especially the part where he protected nature from humans.
"Isaiah! Come here!""Now who's shouting?""Just get over here. Now!"
The loon stopped in the shallow water near shore. It was so close, and we could see its bright red eyes. Strangely, the bird's wings were held tight against its body.
"Look at that beak(鸟喙)!" said Isaiah."It could easily stab(刺)us to death with that thing!"
Walking into the water,getting closer to the loon, we both saw thin wire wrapped around its neck. Reaching down, I touched its head, my heart racing. I could see there was a shiny red hook in its body, and fishing line was wrapped tightly around its neck. Left like this, the loon couldn't fly or fish or survive. It was asking us to help!
"Go to grab the scissors. I'll pick it up, and you cut away the line,"I said to Isaiah, who ran away and came back with the tiny pair of scissors.
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。
Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes for a second to calm myself.



"Hurry and cut the line!"I said.

第一节
One possible version:
Live Lightly & Give Generously
Our school held a meaningful activity last week, whose theme was "Live Lightly &. Give Generously". The event took place on Friday on the playground.
The main activities of the event included a charity auction, where students could donate items to sell and have the money donated to a local charity organization, and a sharing session, where students shared their experiences and insights on how to live a simple yet meaningful life.
This experience has taught us that we don't need a lot to be happy, and giving to others can be the key to fulfillment.
第二节
One possible version:
Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes for a second to calm myself. Somehow I felt my dad's presence,like he was standing shoulder to shoulder with me in the shallow water."Jacob, the bird won't hurt you. It needs your help. I am here and will guide you through this."My hands were shaking, but I bent down to pick up the loon. Taking it carefully under its wings, I held it out at arm's length, afraid that it might stab me with its beak.
"Hurry and cut the line!"I said. Isaiah shuffled closer. Using the scissors, he cut away the fishing line from around the loon's neck. Finally, he set the loon free. I patted the loon's head, a gesture of gratitude that it hadn't used its beak as a weapon. As I set it down on the water, it flapped its wings and flew away. Back onshore, Uncle Rick had been watching,"Boys, I'm awfully proud of you both. That was spectacular. You worked together, helped each other out,and kept that loon alive."

M:Well, I can go to the library to study with you.
W:I don't like studying in the library. My favourite place to study is at a coffee shop.
M:Why?You can't possibly concentrate in a coffee shop. People are always walking in and out, and the coffee machine is so loud! Plus there are always people talking!
W:I like having a little bit of background noise when I study. The library is too quiet.
M:Well, when I'm studying, total silence is what helps me concentrate.
W:For me, the truth is that studying at the library makes me anxious. I can just feel the anxiety of all students studying for tests. The atmosphere of a coffee shop helps me relax.
M:I have an idea. Next time, I'll try studying at a coffee shop. And you can try studying in the library.
W:Well, I guess I can try it. As long as I can take a cup of coffee with me!
M:And I'll take my noise-canceling headphones to the coffee shop!

What's your kindergarten memory? For many kids, it's happy and fun. In kindergarten, children spend time hearing stories, playing toys and making art. Have you ever wondered who invented kindergarten?
It was Friedrich Froebel. As an educator, Froebel wanted to help kids to learn through play. This led him to start the world's first kindergarten programme in Germany in 1837. In his programme, children used music,stories,and playtime to learn. His kindergarten caught on. It wasn't long before they spread to other parts of the world. In 1856, Margaret Schurz set up the first kindergarten in the United States. Kindergartens grew fast in the US. At first, kindergartens in the US were private. That changed in 1873. That year,Susan Blow started the first public kindergarten in St. Louis, Missouri. Blow became interested in kindergartens while travelling in Germany in 1870. When she went back to the US, she went on learning about Froebel's ideas. InSt. Louis, Blow also set up a training programme for teachers. She went on to write several books about Froebel and education. Today, many children all over the world go to kindergarten.
