Sometimes, a terrible tragedy can encourage us to do important things. Dashrath Manjhi was born into a poor family in Gehlaur village, India in 1934. He ran away from home when he was young and began working in the coal mines (煤矿) in Dhanbad. Later he returned to his home village and got married.

One terrible day in 1959, his wife, Falguni Devi, fell from the village mountain and was badly hurt. The nearest town with a doctor was close but a mountain stood in the way. The path around the mountain made the journey 90 kilometers. Falguni died before they could see the doctor.

Manjhi wanted to do something. He decided to cut a path through the mountain so that the village could reach medical care faster.

He took a hammer (锤子) and chisel (凿子) and began hammering through the mountain. People thought he was mad but he continued. He made a path 110 meters long, 7.7 meters deep and 9.1 meters wide. It took 22 years but Manjhi completed the road in 1982. It cut the distance between the village and the neighboring areas from 55 to 15 km. For his work, Manjhi became known as the Mountain Man.

After his death in 2007 at the age of 73, an official road was built through the mountain. Manjhi was given a state funeral (葬礼) and his face was put on a stamp in 2016. He has had films and documentaries (纪录片) made about him. He used his terrible personal tragedy to do something that would hopefully stop others from experiencing such tragedy (悲剧) in their own lives.

A. His hope for working in the town.

B. His work experience in the coal mine.

C. His wife’s death from lack of medical care.

A. 15 kilometers.                  B. 40 kilometers .              C. 55 kilometers.

Helpful wildlife

Most of you may think of clams (河蚌) as part of a big meal. But these little things can do a more important job: testing the cleanness of people’s drinking water!

The main water station in Warsaw, Poland, provides water for millions of people there. All the water depends on eight clams, reported The Economist.

Clams are very sensitive (敏感的) to water pollution. If the water is not clean enough, they shut their shells (壳). So, the water station “employed (雇佣)” the clams. They connected their shells to a computer system (系统). When four or more clams close their shells at the same time, an alarm will go off.

To make sure the clams don’t get too used to the environment, they only work for three months.Then new clams will take over the job. The water station said that this works well to test water quality (质量).

There’s a documentary film on this story, called Fat Kathy. The film shows the dependence of people on nature and the world around them, said Bored Panda, a leading art and pop culture magazine.

31. What do we know about the water station in Paragraph 2?

A. It uses clams to test water quality.

B. It sells clams to millions of people.

C. It is the largest water station in the world.

32. What will clams do if the water is polluted?

A. They will close their shells.

B. They will not drink any water.

C. They will clean each other’s shells.

33. Why did the station connect clams’ shells to a computer system?

A. To create an alarm.

B. To check on their health.

C. To make the clams stay together.

34. How does the water station keep the clams from getting too used to the environment?

A. By keeping them at other stations.

B. By making them work for a short time.

C. By changing the water quality at the station.

35. What do we know from the last paragraph?

A. Nature is important to people.

B. The environment is getting better.

C. People make the world wonderful.

第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is one of the great works by Mark Twain. The book is so interesting. Even today, it is quite popular among kids. 36.        . After re-reading the book recently, I have learned an important lesson from Tom Sawyer.

In our daily lives, we are often given some boring or tiring tasks. What’s in your mind when your mom tells you to clean the floor? 37.        . I think most people have.

Tom Sawyer, however, thought “differently” when he was given a boring task. One Saturday morning, Aunt Polly told Tom to paint the fence(篱笆). Tom’s friend Ben Rogers happened to walk past. 38.        . “Only one in a thousand—maybe even two thousand—boys can do this!” Tom said.

    39.        . He even gave Tom his apple so that he could have a chance to paint the fence. If Tom had thought about nothing but complaining, he would have had a bad day painting the fence.

    This story teaches me a valuable lesson: Complaining (抱怨) is useless. The next time you are given a boring or tiring task, don’t complain. Unlike what happens in the story of Tom Sawyer, it is unlikely that someone will come and do the work for you. 40.        .

A. Have you ever wanted to complain?

B. Tom’s words made Ben interested in the task.

C. Although I am in my thirties, the book remains one of my favorites.

D. Instead of complaining, Tom told Ben that he felt “excited” about the task.

E. However, without complaining, you'll feel better and perhaps even do a better job!

阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

Giant pandas are China’s ambassadors (大使) and are loved by people worldwide. In February, pandas including Xiang Xiang and Yong Ming have come back home. Before this, they were on loan (出借) to Japan.

Since the early 1980s, China has stopped giving away pandas as gifts due to their falling numbers. In the 1990s, China started 10-year loans of pandas to other countries. Today about 60 pandas are living abroad, reported JIMU News.

Making the pandas feel at home

This may lead you to question: How do overseas (海外的) zoos make sure they have what the pandas need to be comfortable?

Wei Rongping, the head of the Wolong Shenshuping panda base in Sichuan, told CRI Online that overseas zoos need to meet several conditions (条件). For example, there must be a healthy and safe environment for pandas to live in.

Take Ouwehands Zoo in Rhenen, Netherlands as an example. In 2017, to welcome pandas Xing Ya and Wu Wen, the zoo built a Chinese-style panda house named Pandasia. It offers all the comforts a panda couple might want: a clinic (诊疗所), a cold bamboo storage room and a nursery (儿童房) for when they are ready to have babies.

Also, a giant panda may eat 12 to 38 kilograms of bamboo in a day. The zoo must give pandas enough food. Pandas Si Hai and Jing Jing traveled to Al Khor Park in Qatar in 2022. Every week, the park buys 1,000 kg of fresh bamboo from their hometown, Sichuan. Breeders (饲养员) there also learn the Sichuan dialect (方言) to better talk to the pandas.

41.How long has China stopped sending pandas to other countries as gifts?

42. What conditions should overseas zoos meet to borrow pandas?

43. How did Ouwehands Zoo welcome pandas?

44. Where are pandas Si Hai and Jing Jing now?

45. Is it difficult or easy for overseas zoos to keep pandas?
