As 17-year old Torri’ell Norwood drove through St. Petersburg, Florida, the laughter and chatter from the four teenage girls inside her car quickly gave way to screams. As they approached a crossroads, another car T-boned them, sending their car sailing into the yard of a nearby home, coming to a stop only when it crashed into a tree.

As smoke rose from the other car, someone shouted, “It’s about to blow up! Get out!” The impact had caved in Norwood’s driver’s side door. Shaken, but otherwise OK, Norwood crawled (缓慢移动) out through the window. Along with two of her friends, who’d also managed to free themselves, she ran for her life.

But halfway down the street, she realized that her best friend, A’zarria Simmons, wasn’t with them. Norwood ran back to the car and found that Simmons fainted in the back seat and wasn’t moving. She threw open the back door and pulled her friend out. She dragged Simmons a few feet to safety and laid her on the ground. “I checked her pulse.” Nothing. “I put my head against her chest.” No sign of life. “That’s when I started CPR(心肺复苏术).”

Amazingly, Norwood had just earned her CPR certificate the day before. Kneeling on the ground and looking down at her dying friend, Norwood knew she had precious little time to practice what she’d learned. She started pressing Simmons’s chest and breathing into her friend’s mouth in hopes of filling her lungs with the kiss of life. No response. And then, after the 30th compression(挤压), Simmons began coughing and gasping for air. The CPR had worked!

Soon, ambulance crew arrived and rushed Simmons to the hospital. Thanks to Norwood’s quick thinking, Simmons is recovering well. And then she heard how her best friend had saved her life. “I know I wasn’t shocked,” Simmons said. “She will always help any way she can.”

24．What happened to the teenage girls on the way?

A．They suffered a car accident. B．They gave way to another car.

C．Their car crashed into a wall. D．Their car broke down halfway.

25．What does the underlined word “fainted” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Died. B．Rested. C．Fell asleep. D．Became unconscious.

26．What is the paragraph 4 mainly about?

A．How Norwood learnt CPR.

B．How Norwood performed CPR.

C．How Norwood treated the wound.

D．How Norwood gained CPR certificate.

27．Why did Simmons say she wasn’t shocked?

A．She recovered from shock.

B．She received immediate CPR.

C．She knew Norwood is a reliable friend.

D．She believed ambulance crew would arrive.

Online educational learning games is an effective way with endless option for teaching kids of all age groups, and children are also able to operate the computer without much help. Parents who become familiar with operating the computer find it easier to teach kids through these programs.

Children are not willing to learn math tables or difficult words at school. They find it fun to sit in front of a computer and learn language and solve mathematical problems. In this age of computers, computers are becoming an important part of the child’s daily curriculum with parents opting to teach these children new things each day with the help of online educational games.

Computers are also known to improve the motor skills in children. In addition, the level of these games can be adjusted according to the level and learning ability of the kids. The makers of the games keep the kid’s interest in mind while designing them so that their interest is maintained. Another advantage of these games is that you can find free online games and do not have to invest in these expensive products. Other activities that are available on the Internet include online coloring games. This is also a constructive way that children can use to pass their leisure time.

Moreover, the children can stay in the comfort of their homes. Kids who are fond of playing on the computer can spend their time learning educational material instead on video games that teach violence.

Parents have to keep an eye on their kids and make sure that they do not spend their time on the computer playing games that could be harmful for them. It is essential to direct the kids to educational sites that have beneficial games and are known to help the progress of these children.

28．Why do parents find it easier to teach kids according to Para 1?

A．Because kids are clever enough. B．Because kids have fun learning games.

C．Because parents know more than the kids. D．Because parents themselves can operate computers.

29．What should the makers mainly consider while designing games?

A．Available activities. B．The kids’ interest.

C．Free online games. D．The kids’ learning ability.

30．What can online coloring games be used for?

A．Entertaining themselves. B．Learning languages.

C．Finding educational sites. D．Playing violent games.

31．According the author, parents should _________.

A．persuade and control their kids B．discourage and forbid their kids

C．monitor and instruct their kids D．protect and convince their kids

D

Scientists have discovered the world’s largest known field of sea grass. They did it using videos shot by some unusual helpers: tiger sharks.

Sea grasses are flowering plants that grow in shallow waters near coasts. Sea grass meadows (草地) help clean the ocean’s water. Importantly, they also help in the fight against the climate crisis. That’s because they store huge amounts of carbon — the harmful pollution that’s making global warming worse. Damaging these sea grass meadows can release this pollution again, so it’s important to protect them.

But though they’re very important, scientists don’t have a good idea of the size and number of the world’s sea grass meadows. From above, the meadows can be hard to spot, either because the water is too deep or not clear enough. And the ocean is so huge that it’s simply not possible to study it all by diving. So a team of scientists decided to have sharks help with the research. Tiger sharks are huge, strong, and deadly. But they also live underwater, swim fast, and spend a lot of time in sea grass meadows.

Between 2016 and 2020, a team of researchers attached cameras and other trackers to the fins (鳍) of seven tiger sharks. After catching the sharks, the scientists worked quickly to attach the equipment, then let them go again. The cameras were designed to fall off after a few hours and float to the surface. Tracking signals helped the scientists find the floating cameras and collect the videos the sharks had taken. The scientists were left with hours of videos taken as the sharks traveled for miles over the sea floor. Putting all this information together, the scientists learned that the waters around the Bahamas are home to the largest sea grass meadow ever discovered.

The program shows how useful large underwater animals can be in helping to learn more about life under the sea. Oliver Shipley is a scientist at Beneath the Waves, which led the work. He says animals like tiger sharks “…are going to take us to more sea grass meadows”.

32．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．Features of sea grass meadows.

B．Location of sea grass meadows.

C．Significance of sea grass meadows.

D．Definition of sea grass meadows.

33．What do we know about the cameras?

A．They are tracked by the scientists.

B．They are implanted into sharks’ bodies.

C．They will send real-time videos to scientists.

D．They will be got rid of by sharks when discovered.

34．What can we infer from the text?

A．Tiger sharks will perform more such missions.

B．Sea grass meadows only exist around Bahamas.

C．Meadows are hard to spot because of pollution.

D．The program is aimed at studying diverse sea life.

35．What is the best title for the text?

A．Sea Grass Meadows — An Unknown Field

B．Sea Grass Meadows — Cleaner In Sea

C．Tiger Sharks — Killers In Deep Sea

D．Sharks — New Scientific Assistants

第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分）

根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Does Failure Truly Exist?

In fact, if you believe you have failed, then you have.    36    Failure only exists in your own mind! The moment you decide to give up or stop working toward your goals, failure is born.

Never give up on yourself.

    37    They are willing to work hard on reaching their goals, but only until the going gets too rough or their energy dies down. Don’t do that! Make up your mind to make your goal happen, no matter what!    38    

Don’t believe in a clear finish line for goals.

It’s a good idea to set a general timeline (时间表), but remember that something will be beyond your control. You can never say exactly when your goal will be reached.    39    Instead, get a general idea of when you’d like your goal to be completed. Then take it one day at a time and focus on making progress instead of reaching the finish line in as little time as possible.

    40    

Difficulties mean only one thing: it’s not time for your goal to be completed yet. That’s it! It doesn't mean you failed; it doesn’t mean you’re weak；it doesn’t mean you’ll never achieve your goals. It simply means you have not done enough yet. You’ve got to keep moving forward and find a way over, around, or through the difficulties.

A．Be sure that you don’t see difficulties as failures.

B．Never quit, never admit failure, and never lose heart.

C．Most people give themselves an out without even realizing it.

D．That’s exactly how failure makes us feel.

E．If you lock yourself into a given timeline, you might make yourself feel like a failure!

F．Work hard towards our goal, and we will get good results.

G．If you believe you don’t have the ability to succeed, then you don’t.

In the novel, he related early personal experiences     60    (mean) a lot to him, including his work in a factory, his education, and his efforts     61    (publish) novels.

The novel takes place in the Victorian era (1837—1901) and contains Dickens’ critiques(批评) of his society and the     62    (anxious) surrounding the relationship between social classes. It describes     63     darkest parts of British society in that time, especially the     64    (pain) circumstances of many children.

Young David suffers for his goal,    65    does he reach his dream of becoming a successful writer? Read the book to find out.

The son loved this idea. The next day, he set out on a journey to find the treasure. He had to travel really far across forests and mountains. Along the way, he met a lot of people. He was helped by some with food and by some with money.

Finally, after a long year, he reached his destination. He searched and searched, but found nothing. He spent two days looking and digging for the treasure. By the third day, he was so tired that he decided to leave.

On his way back, he met the same people who had helped him earlier. This time he stayed a few days with them and helped them in some way or another. He realized how nice they had been to a stranger who had nothing to offer them in return.

When he reached home, he realized it had been two years since he left the place. He walked straight into his father's room. ''Father. '' he said. The father immediately jumped to his feet and hugged his son.

School Art Festival

Last week witnessed an important event — our school’s art festival. All the teachers and students were looking forward to the annual activity. Students of many talents leaped at it as soon as the school encouraged them to sign up.

The school art festival lasted a week. It included an exhibition of students’ excellent art works and ended with a grand show. During the week, beautiful paintings and calligraphy works were displayed on campus. The lovely and rich atmosphere of art enveloped us. The art festival climaxed on Friday evening with a grand show, where students and teachers’ brilliant performances left the audience panting for more. “It was really a feast for the eyes!” a teacher commented.

This art festival was a great success. It added some spice to our lives.

The father asked, ''Did you find the treasure?'' ''The journey was fantastic. But forgive me for I wasn't able to find the treasure,'' the son said. ''There wasn't any treasure my son,'' the father answered smiling. ''But why did you send me to find it then? '' the son asked. ''I will surely tell you why, but first you tell me, how was your journey? Did you enjoy it?'' ''Of course not father! I was worried someone else would find the treasure before I did.''

The son continued, ''But I did enjoy the journey on my way back home.'' He was excited. ''I made many friends. I learned so many different skills. There was so much to learn that I forgot the pain of not finding the treasure. ''The father said to him, "Exactly my son. Everyone wants a goal in life. But if you pay too much attention to the goal, then you will miss out on the real treasures of life. The truth is, life has no goal at all, other than to just experience it and grow with it every single day.''
