When I was in the eighth grade, my teacher asked our class the question, “What does ‘doing the right thing’ mean to you？” We were to turn in an essay（短文）by Monday and be prepared to live up to our answers.

The whole weekend, I tried hard to come up with something creative. I talked to my parents, called my grandmother, and even asked my next door neighbor. Everyone had good answers, but I didn’t feel like I could live up to them.

By Sunday afternoon, I hadn’t written my essay. To make matters worse, my parents said we were going to visit Aunt Cindy. After dinner, my parents told me to play with my little cousin Andrea. I turned on the television and found a Disney movie for her, and then I sat down to start my essay.

Soon I felt a pair of eyes on me. It was Andrea.

“What are you doing?” she asked.

“I have to write an essay about what doing the right thing means to me. “Andrea laughed. “That’s easy,” she said.

“Okay,” I said, thinking, “How could a six—year—old possibly know?” “Tell me the answer,” I said. Andrea cleared her throat and stood up.

“Doing the right thing means: Being nice to your family and friends. Doing what your mommy says. Never lie. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Take a bath when you’re dirty. Don’t scare the cat. And never, never put rocks in your mouth. “

I looked at my little cousin for a while. Then I jumped up and gave her a big hug. Not only had Andrea answered a difficult question for me, I could easily follow all of her rules. So when I wrote my essay, I included the story about Andrea and how she answered my question.

Two days later, my teacher returned everyone’s essays. I received an A+ along with a little note my teacher had written at the top: “Always do the right thing—and give Andrea an A+, too!”

24. What is the teacher’s question about?

A. What makes a good answer.

B. How we can write an A+essay.

C. What “doing the right thing” means.

D. How we get on with our little cousin.

25. Who gave the writer the best answer to the question?

A. His cousin.   B. His aunt.    C. His neighbor.   D. His parents.

26. Which of the following may be included in the writer’s answers?

A. Don’t be afraid of cats or dogs.

B. Don’t put rocks in your pocket.

C. Being friendly to people around.

D. Eating more vegetables and meat.

C

Humpback whales are always known to be intelligent animals and can be seen working together to hunt schools of small fish. And, if you listen closely, you might even hear one singing.

Dr. Jim Darling has studied whale songs for more than 25 years.

While recording whale songs on a boat near Hawaii, he invited author Douglas Chadwick to experience diving with a humpback. In the water, Chadwick heard the whale’s songs in a way he had never heard them before. “Suddenly, I no longer heard the whale’s voice in my ears,” he said. “I felt it inside my head and bones.”

When swimming with the whale, Chadwick could see that the 13—meter—long giant looked him over curiously, but never harmed him. The whale then swam under the boat. It pointed its head down to the ocean floor and, with flippers （鳍）extended out（伸展）to its sides, began to sing. Up in the boat, Darling recorded the whale’s song. Humpback whale songs can be long and difficult to understand, sometimes lasting for 30 minutes or more. They are perhaps the longest songs sung by any animal.

Darling says that only male（雄性的） humpbacks sing, but for unknown reasons. It was thought before that they sang to attract females, but scientists showed this was incorrect when they played recordings of whale songs in the ocean and the female whales didn’t make any response. Another idea is that male humpbacks use songs just to compete with each other.

Researchers have also found that humpback whale songs are different in different parts of the world. They may also be like popular songs on the radio, changing over time—from one year to the next.

Another member of the research team, Flip Nicklin, recalls a special moment he had while interacting with a humpback. While he was some distance away from the huge animal, he heard its song. Slowly the humpback got closer to him. It then stopped singing and gently carried Nicklin toward its eye with a flipper, as if examining him.

Still, there is so much the scientists don’t know, and years of studylie ahead for whale researchers like Jim Darling.

27. What is the passage mainly about?

A. How to record humpbacks in the ocean.

B. Special moments with humpback whales.

C. How humpbacks communicate with people.

D. Humpback songs and what they might mean.

28. What happened when whale songs were played in the ocean?

A. No schools of fish came over.

B. No female whales were attracted.

C. Male whales extended out their flippers gently.

D. Female whales began to compete with each other.

29. What do Darling and Nicklin have in common?

A. Their jobs are to train the whales.

B. They create many songs of whales.

C. They are scientists studying whales.

D. Their interests are to swim in the ocean.

D

Many parents have heard the term “social—emotional development,” but what does it mean? Put simply, it refers to the gradual growth of children’s ability to “experience, manage and express” their feelings, build relationships and explore their environment. “It’s understanding how our bodies and minds feel and think in relationship to the world around us,” says Dr. Mary Hadley, who has spent 15 years helping adults and children communicate.

__30__

Social—emotional development changes as a child grows. A mother providing a feeling of safety for her baby begins the child’s process of healthy social—emotional development. As children enter school, they develop the ability to control their emotions and work well with others. Just as children never give up learning, social—emotional development doesn’t stagnate.

In primary school, students get themselves involved in play—based skills, learn to express themselves and practice empathy（共情） for others. Development in middle school looks similar, Hadley says. “We can help students to understand that everyone experiences emotions, both good and bad. And the way their bodies and minds feel will affect their social communication.” she says. Yet, while middle—schoolers can express their feelings, they also sometimes hide their thoughts, Roberson—Moore says. This can raise some challenges. “At the high school level, relationships with groups become very important,” says Kelly Oriard, a family expert（专家）. As teenagers understand where they fit in the world, it is normal and healthy for them to build relationships outside of their family.

Building Social—Emotional Skills at Home

When it comes to social—emotional development, parents are a primary resource for children, and experts say there are many ways to help.

First, share your feelings with your children, and accept their feelings as well, Hadley says. For example, you can say to a shouting child, “Your voice is loud. You must be very mad that it’s time to turn off the TV. ＂Second, prioritize（优先考虑）family time. Even as children grow older, they can benefit from family time. Eating meals or working on a project together can open up time for conversation, which support your child’s emotional health. Third, encourage your children’s interests. You may not join in their football practice, but try to listen and take interest in the activities they value. This can lead to a healthy connection. “Raising healthy children truly takes a village, “ Hadley says. “School teachers and social workers are also wonderful resources. “

30. Which could be the best heading for Paragraphs 2 & 3?

A. How Social—Emotional Development Helps

B. When Social—Emotional Development Changes

C. Why Social—Emotional Development Matters in Daily Life

D. What Social—Emotional Development Looks Like over Time

31. Which of the following might Mary Hadley agree?

A. Prioritizing our time is part of social—emotional development.

B. Raising healthy children needs lots of efforts and resources.

C. Children prefer hiding their feelings to expressing directly.

D. Relationships with groups are important at primary level.

32. What does the underlined word “stagnate” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Stop.   B. Speed.   C. Appear.   D. Progress.

33. Why does the writer write this passage?

A. To advise teachers to understand their students better.

B. To encourage children to learn more social skills at school.

C. To offer experts some ideas to solve social—emotional problems.

D. To help parents know more about social—emotional development.

When Cash Daniels was given “The Conservation Kid” for his efforts to protect the environment in 2021, he was only 12 years old. He got interested in environmental problems a few years ago, when he found plastic on a beach. It got him thinking about the influence that plastic pollution has on the environment, especially on rivers and oceans.

In his research, Cash found that rivers are at the heart of the problem. According to a 2021 report from Science Advances, far more rivers than thought—at least 1, 000 of them—are carrying large number of plastic into our oceans. This hit close to home for Cash. He lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The city sits on the Tennessee River, one of the most polluted in the world.

This information motivated（激发）Cash to take action. He made it his mission to clear litter from public spaces and local waterways.

At first, he and his parents worked together to pick up litter near the Tennessee River. But Cash soon realized that he would need more help.

So he organized community cleanup outings. Finally, he and other volunteers removed more than 11, 000 pounds of litter from the river.

Cash has also teamed up with businesses to recycle aluminum cans （铝罐）. So far, he has recycled more than 2, 000 pounds of them. The money he earns from that supports river protection efforts.

Cash enjoys getting people, especially other kids, involved in environmental activism. He wrote a children’s book called One Small Piece, which he has read to students in his community. In it, he spent much time explaining the problem of pollution and how streams, rivers, and oceans are interconnected.

In January 2022, together with his friend Ella Grace, he founded Cleanup Kids. So far, The Cleanup Kids has had more than 50 members across the US, Canada, and Australia. The group encourages children to pick up and recycle litter, as well as to raise awareness（意识） among young people to understand how much human life depends on the nature. The goal for the young volunteers is to collect 1 million pieces of litter by the end of 2022. “Kids may be a small percentage of the population,” Cash says. “But they are 100% of the future.”

34. How old was Cash Daniels when he was given “The Conservation Kid”?

35. What did he find in his research?

36. What did he make as his mission?

37. Among Cash’s actions on environmental protection, which one touches you most? Why?（In about 25 words）

Dear Chris,

I’m writing to tell you something about the school first. Our school is nice and beautiful. There is a six-floor teaching building, a big library，a dining hall and a gym. We have many after-school clubs. You will love it!

As for Chinese learning, you can use some chants, songs and pictures to help you remember characters or sentence structures. It's also a good idea to read Chinese stories or watch movies to improve your reading and listening skills. Most importantly, try to use the language in daily life if possible. Hope my advice will help.

I’m looking forward to your early reply.

题目②

Learning happens anytime and anywhere. I learned to swim when I was 12 years old. Being afraid of water, I couldn't even move my feet when I stood beside the pool. My coach encouraged me a lot and l finally got my feet wet, and gradually got deeper into the water. After a lot of practice, I became a good swimmer and even won the first prize in a swimming competition.

From my experience, I've learned that confidence plays a huge part in learning. And hard work is just the key to success.
