A
Years ago, I was travelling around Australia with two friends. At that time, both friends had to leave early because of work, so I decided to travel to the Whitsunday Islands alone.
I got on a boat. Everyone on the boat, except me, was with friends. Not wanting to talk to strangers, I decided to take photos. The back of the boat was a good place to catch the wonderful view of the sea.
I walked there and saw a metal box standing there. I put my arms on it, without knowing it was a hot barbecue (烧烤架)!
“My God, it hurts!” crying in pain, I moved my arms away at once.
Although there weren’t marks on my arms, I was in great pain. And I didn’t even have friends with me. I sat alone, trying not to cry. Finally my arms turned purple.
People on the boat saw this and came to help me. One girl offered me a special scald cream (烫伤膏).
After treatment, I felt much better. I could enjoy the beauty of the Whitsundays, talk to strangers on the boat and have fun with them.
It’s not the conventional (传统的) way to meet people, but it shows even burning your arms can become part of your trip, and make your trip better in the end.
44. What do we know from Paragraph 1?
A. Why the writer travelled alone. B. How the writer got to the islands.
C. What the writer did during the trip. D. When the writer arrived at the islands.

C. To show possible dangers during a trip. D. To share what the writer learned from a trip.
B
When Xion g Chuanfa, 34, blows a lifelike tiger out of sugar in just minutes, kids look at him in surprise thinking he is a magician.
Xion g has been blowing sugar figurines (吹糖人) for over twenty years. Blowing sugar figurines is a Chinese traditional folk (民间) art with a history of over 600 years and has been listed as a state-level intangible cultural heritage (文化遗产).
Every morning, Xion g prepares the sugar and drives to different markets in Nanchang to start his magic show.
He heats the sugar, pulls off a little to make a ball and blows it into different shapes—a rabbit, a monkey, and even Bing Dwen Dwen, the mascot of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
People, especially little kids, are interested in his skills. However, ______, he also stops by colleges. Many college students have been drawn (吸引) to the art, waiting in line for hands-on experience. Among them, Simon, a foreign student, couldn’t help having a try. Though it looked easy, he found it hard to make it. Thanks to Xiong’s help, Sim on finally saw a horse slowly taking shape.
Simon was deeply moved after learning about the art. “I just can’t believe the traditional folk art can be kept so well here. I love it. Chinese culture should be spread around the world,” he said.
This art has been passed down for four generations (代) in Xiong’s family. His 6-year-old son often blows sugar balloons, just like what he used to do as a child.
“We will pass on the intangible heritage,” said Xiong.
47. From the passage we can learn that Xiong Chuanfa is ______.
A. 20 years old B. 34 years old C. a bus driver D. a foreign magician
48. Which of the following can be put in the ______ in Paragraph 5?
A. to draw young people closer to the art B. to help young people learn drawing pictures
C. to teach little kids the skills of drawing D. to make little kids more interested in the art
49. According to the passage, we can infer that Simon will most probably ______.
A. stay in China to blow sugar horses B. offer Xiong a helping hand in class
C. learn more about Chinese culture D. blow perfect sugar figurines next time
50. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Xion g and His Folk Art of Sweet Blows B. A Magic Folk Art and Chinese Culture
C. Xiong’s Family and Sugar Figurine Skills D. A Guide and the Intangible Heritages
C
Safiatou Diall’s trip back home to Guinea, West Africa, in 2019, left a lasting influence on her. The now 11-year-old Ohio student remember s seeing children walking without shoes to school, carrying their school supplies (学习用品) in their arms—if they had any at all. Some even carried their books and pens in plastic bags.
Safiatou, who attends Harmon Middle School, knew she had to do something to help. So she set up (成立) the charitable group Greater Purpose Africa, which raises money to buy school supplies for elementary school students in Mamou, a central city in Guinea.
The whole idea was born from a task. Her fourth-grade teacher asked each student to come up with a business plan for class. Safiatou wanted to help children in West Africa. With her dad’s help, she wrote about her wish to start the Greater Purpose Africa group.
But then COVID-19 shut down schools in March 2020, so she wasn’t able to get her charitable group off the ground. When she returned to in-person classes in the fifth grade, she talked to Harmon’s school head, Jared Moore, about her plan, and Greater Purpose Africa took off.
She started collecting school supplies and raising money. Greater Purpose Africa raised $820 and collected 23 backpacks for the first shipment (一批货物) of school supplies, which arrived at Bowoun Djoungol Elementary School in Mamou in June 2021. Safiatou’s grandfather, Elhadji Tidiane Diallo, helped give out the shipment of supplies at the school. The students didn’t know they were going to receive the supplies, so it was a surprise. All 52 students were able to get school supplies, and some even cried tears of joy.
“They were so happy,” Nene Diallo, Safiatou’s mother, said. To show their thanks, the students hung up a banner (横幅) outside their school saying “Thank you/Merci Greater Purpose Africa.”
“I was happy because they were happy,” Safiatou said.
She hopes to raise more money to build a new school. The building can’t even prevent rain and wind, so poor weather can stop classes.
51. Why did Safiatou Dialo set up Greater Purpose Africa?
A. To encourage students in her school to be kind.
B. To raise money for poor students in her school.
C. To help students learn more about West Africa.
D. To give school supplies to kids in West Africa.
52. What made Safiatou Diallo make a decision to start a charitable group?
A. A postcard from Africa. B. Her school task.
C. A charity’s support. D. Her father’s advice.
53. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. She couldn’t explain her idea clearly. B. She failed to start the charitable group.
C. She didn’t know how to tell her teacher. D. She was turned down by the school head.
54. How did the students feel after they got the shipment?
A. Excited and afraid. B. Relaxed and pleased.
C. Surprised and thankful. D. Concerned and doubtful.
五、还原句子（共4小题；每小题1.5分，满分6分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
When a friend is going through a difficult time, it’s natural to want to help, but it’s not always easy to know how. Think about situations where you’ve been in need. 55 What did you find the most helpful? The following are ways that you can really help a friend in need.
Only offer help that you are truly able to give. 56 When your friends are unhappy, it’s normal (正常的) to want to make everything all right for them, but think a little about the reality (现实) of what you’re offering before you open your mouth.
57 Offer your help, but if they refuse, then accept that. It may be that they truly don’t want or need your help. That doesn’t mean you needn’t offer help again. It’s simply about respecting what they say about their needs at the time.
Don’t assume (认为) you know what’s best for them. However they are struggling (抗争), your friends need to make their own decisions. When people are going through difficult times, they may feel that what is happening is out of their control. 58
Listen more than you talk. Avoid repeatedly giving your opinion on their situation unless they ask for it. They may want a sympathetic (富有同情心的) ear. It’s best if you can keep your feelings under control. You may feel angry about what your friend is dealing with, but you will be more helpful if you can keep calm as you listen.
A. Be someone you can trust.
B. Don’t force your help on them.
C. Think carefully about what help you can offer.
D. What did your friends do for you?
E. Small thoughtful things can be of greater value than you imagine.
F. What is best for you isn’t necessarily what is best for them.
六、综合填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Sleep is important to us. 59 good sleep gives us energy and makes us feel happier. Here are some studies about sleep. Read on and find some 60 (suggest).
Sometimes, songs get stuck (挥之不去) in our heads while we stay 61 (wake). We call them earworms. They can happen during sleep as well. According to a study, if people listen to a lot of music during the day, it may take them longer 62 (fall) asleep and they may wake up more times during the night. So we shouldn’t listen to music 63 going to bed as it may be worse for our sleep.
64 (wear) socks to bed can help us fall asleep faster! Studies say it can help people fall asleep 15 minutes 65 (early) and they won’t wake up so many times at night. In fact, when we fall asleep, our body temperature goes down. Our body 66 (change) the temperature using blood vessels (血管) in our skin. Socks make our feet warm and help widen blood vessels. Wide blood vessels help lower our temperature, so we get sleepy easily and soon fall asleep.
When should we go to bed if we want to get up at 7 a.m.? A smart sleep calculator (计算器) by UK company Hillarys can tell us. Tell it when we need to get up, and it 67 (work) out what time we need to go to bed. Usually, humans sleep in 90-minute cycles. We have four or five cycles each night. If we wake up during a cycle, we will feel tired. The calculator also uses this information to keep us 68 waking during a cycle so that we feel great after waking up.

Christmas is a holiday known throughout the world. Of course, children especially look forward to it because they can receive gifts. If they’re young, they love to get toys.

A woman may buy a tie or a leather wallet for her husband. These days computers are popular as gifts. But gifts are just part of Christmas. Most people like to go shopping at that time. People also like to see coloured lights on buildings and trees. Some even buy Christmas trees to put in their homes or offices. It’s a fun time of the year!

Welcome to our school. As a senior student, I have some suggestions for you.
First of all, to study better, being hard-working is necessary. Listen to the teacher carefully in class and finish homework on time. Secondly, don’t forget to pay attention to your health. Eat more healthily and do more exercise. It’s important to keep a good mood and be happy every day. Thirdly, do get along with the people around you. A friend is a person who can make your life easier. There is no doubt that difficulties will be met during your study. When you feel stressed, listening to some music may be helpful. Using different colours is also a good way. As for me, I like to communicate with my parents more and tell my worries to my friends. In a word, there is no success without effort.
I hope my advice is worth taking. Wish you good luck! Thank you!

A
Years ago, I was travelling around Australia with two friends. At that time, both friends had to leave early because of work, so I decided to travel to the Whitsunday Islands alone.
I got on a boat. Everyone on the boat, except me, was with friends. Not wanting to talk to strangers, I decided to take photos. The back of the boat was a good place to catch the wonderful view of the sea.
I walked there and saw a metal box standing there. I put my arms on it, without knowing it was a hot barbecue (烧烤架)!
“My God, it hurts!” crying in pain, I moved my arms away at once.
Although there weren’t marks on my arms, I was in great pain. And I didn’t even have friends with me. I sat alone, trying not to cry. Finally my arms turned purple.
People on the boat saw this and came to help me. One girl offered me a special scald cream (烫伤膏).
After treatment, I felt much better. I could enjoy the beauty of the Whitsundays, talk to strangers on the boat and have fun with them.
It’s not the conventional (传统的) way to meet people, but it shows even burning your arms can become part of your trip, and make your trip better in the end.

When Xion g Chuanfa, 34, blows a lifelike tiger out of sugar in just minutes, kids look at him in surprise thinking he is a magician.
Xion g has been blowing sugar figurines (吹糖人) for over twenty years. Blowing sugar figurines is a Chinese traditional folk (民间) art with a history of over 600 years and has been listed as a state-level intangible cultural heritage (文化遗产).
Every morning, Xion g prepares the sugar and drives to different markets in Nanchang to start his magic show.
He heats the sugar, pulls off a little to make a ball and blows it into different shapes—a rabbit, a monkey, and even Bing Dwen Dwen, the mascot of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
People, especially little kids, are interested in his skills. However, ______, he also stops by colleges. Many college students have been drawn (吸引) to the art, waiting in line for hands-on experience. Among them, Simon, a foreign student, couldn’t help having a try. Though it looked easy, he found it hard to make it. Thanks to Xiong’s help, Sim on finally saw a horse slowly taking shape.
Simon was deeply moved after learning about the art. “I just can’t believe the traditional folk art can be kept so well here. I love it. Chinese culture should be spread around the world,” he said.
This art has been passed down for four generations (代) in Xiong’s family. His 6-year-old son often blows sugar balloons, just like what he used to do as a child.
“We will pass on the intangible heritage,” said Xiong.

Safiatou Diall’s trip back home to Guinea, West Africa, in 2019, left a lasting influence on her. The now 11-year-old Ohio student remember s seeing children walking without shoes to school, carrying their school supplies (学习用品) in their arms—if they had any at all. Some even carried their books and pens in plastic bags.
Safiatou, who attends Harmon Middle School, knew she had to do something to help. So she set up (成立) the charitable group Greater Purpose Africa, which raises money to buy school supplies for elementary school students in Mamou, a central city in Guinea.
The whole idea was born from a task. Her fourth-grade teacher asked each student to come up with a business plan for class. Safiatou wanted to help children in West Africa. With her dad’s help, she wrote about her wish to start the Greater Purpose Africa group.
But then COVID-19 shut down schools in March 2020, so she wasn’t able to get her charitable group off the ground. When she returned to in-person classes in the fifth grade, she talked to Harmon’s school head, Jared Moore, about her plan, and Greater Purpose Africa took off.
She started collecting school supplies and raising money. Greater Purpose Africa raised $820 and collected 23 backpacks for the first shipment (一批货物) of school supplies, which arrived at Bowoun Djoungol Elementary School in Mamou in June 2021. Safiatou’s grandfather, Elhadji Tidiane Diallo, helped give out the shipment of supplies at the school. The students didn’t know they were going to receive the supplies, so it was a surprise. All 52 students were able to get school supplies, and some even cried tears of joy.
“They were so happy,” Nene Diallo, Safiatou’s mother, said. To show their thanks, the students hung up a banner (横幅) outside their school saying “Thank you/Merci Greater Purpose Africa.”
“I was happy because they were happy,” Safiatou said.
She hopes to raise more money to build a new school. The building can’t even prevent rain and wind, so poor weather can stop classes.
51. Why did Safiatou Dialo set up Greater Purpose Africa?
A. To encourage students in her school to be kind.
B. To raise money for poor students in her school.
C. To help students learn more about West Africa.
D. To give school supplies to kids in West Africa.
52. What made Safiatou Diallo make a decision to start a charitable group?
A. A postcard from Africa. B. Her school task.
C. A charity’s support. D. Her father’s advice.
53. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. She couldn’t explain her idea clearly. B. She failed to start the charitable group.
C. She didn’t know how to tell her teacher. D. She was turned down by the school head.
54. How did the students feel after they got the shipment?
A. Excited and afraid. B. Relaxed and pleased.
C. Surprised and thankful. D. Concerned and doubtful.

When a friend is going through a difficult time, it’s natural to want to help, but it’s not always easy to know how. Think about situations where you’ve been in need. 55 What did you find the most helpful? The following are ways that you can really help a friend in need.
Only offer help that you are truly able to give. 56 When your friends are unhappy, it’s normal (正常的) to want to make everything all right for them, but think a little about the reality (现实) of what you’re offering before you open your mouth.
57 Offer your help, but if they refuse, then accept that. It may be that they truly don’t want or need your help. That doesn’t mean you needn’t offer help again. It’s simply about respecting what they say about their needs at the time.
Don’t assume (认为) you know what’s best for them. However they are struggling (抗争), your friends need to make their own decisions. When people are going through difficult times, they may feel that what is happening is out of their control. 58
Listen more than you talk. Avoid repeatedly giving your opinion on their situation unless they ask for it. They may want a sympathetic (富有同情心的) ear.

A. Be someone you can trust.
B. Don’t force your help on them.
C. Think carefully about what help you can offer.

Sleep is important to us. 59 good sleep gives us energy and makes us feel happier. Here are some studies about sleep. Read on and find some 60 (suggest).
Sometimes, songs get stuck (挥之不去) in our heads while we stay 61 (wake). We call them earworms. They can happen during sleep as well. According to a study, if people listen to a lot of music during the day, it may take them longer 62 (fall) asleep and they may wake up more times during the night. So we shouldn’t listen to music 63 going to bed as it may be worse for our sleep.
64 (wear) socks to bed can help us fall asleep faster! Studies say it can help people fall asleep 15 minutes 65 (early) and they won’t wake up so many times at night. In fact, when we fall asleep, our body temperature goes down. Our body 66 (change) the temperature using blood vessels (血管) in our skin. Socks make our feet warm and help widen blood vessels. Wide blood vessels help lower our temperature, so we get sleepy easily and soon fall asleep.
When should we go to bed if we want to get up at 7 a.m.? A smart sleep calculator (计算器) by UK company Hillarys can tell us. Tell it when we need to get up, and it 67 (work) out what time we need to go to bed. Usually, humans sleep in 90-minute cycles. We have four or five cycles each night.

Welcome to our school. As a senior student, I have some suggestions for you.
First of all, to study better, being hard-working is necessary. Listen to the teacher carefully in class and finish homework on time. Secondly, don’t forget to pay attention to your health. Eat more healthily and do more exercise. It’s important to keep a good mood and be happy every day. Thirdly, do get along with the people around you. A friend is a person who can make your life easier. There is no doubt that difficulties will be met during your study. When you feel stressed, listening to some music may be helpful. Using different colours is also a good way. As for me, I like to communicate with my parents more and tell my worries to my friends. In a word, there is no success without effort.
I hope my advice is worth taking. Wish you good luck! Thank you!
