Dear Henry,
I'm Li Hua. I'm writing to invite you to visit the Chinese Paper-cutting Exhibition. Paper-cutting is one of our traditional art forms and I'm sure you will like it.
The exhibition will be held in the local museum from 8:00 am to 11:00 am next Saturday. Some famous artists will perform how to cut paper on the spot. Meanwhile, some beautiful paper-cutting works, collected from all over the country, will be on show there. You can also join in paper-cutting activities, which surely will be an unforgettable experience.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Li Hua

Right then, Henry sensed my embarrassment. He immediately came to my aid. He pulled up my skirt and skillfully tied the drawstring with a beautiful knot. Seeing what Henry did for me, something deep in my mind began to change. It seemed as if my cold heart began to melt slowly and my annoyance at him gradually gave way to guilt. I regretted having treated him as a stranger. While my mind was wandering, our performance time came. It turned out a great success, thunderous applause filling the whole theatre.
After the performance, I found Henry and tapped him on the arm gratefully. “Thanks,” I said with a grateful smile on my face. I had to admit that but for his timely help, I would have been extremely embarrassed. Without his knotting skill, the performance would have been quite different. “KNOT a problem. You are my sister,” he grinned innocently, saying humorously. Surrounded by the cheerful atmosphere, I felt a flood of warmth of a big family. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to have a new person in my corner of the world after all.

You may think that America is a free country and that Americans kiss their friends. Well, it is, but if you kiss the wrong person you might get into trouble. This is what happened to John, a six-year-old primary school pupil. Who did he kiss He kissed a girl on the cheek in the school. They were in the same class. However, a teacher saw it and told the headmaster, who thought that John should be punished. John was told to leave his classroom and stayed in another classroom by himself. When John's mother knew about this, she became very angry. She wanted the headmaster to tell her why the school punished her son for kissing another six-year-old girl. "The girl asked him to kiss her and he did this only to show friendship. What's wrong with this " she said. The headmaster thought that it was wrong of a boy to kiss a girl, even though they were only six years old. "It is stated clearly in the student handbook. It is unwelcome behavior, "the headmaster said.

【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍如何选择适当的出行方式来降低运输过程中的碳足迹。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段“How can you stop using a car Try taking a train, bus or better yet, riding a bike. (你怎么能停止开车？试着坐火车、公共汽车，或者骑自行车。)”和第三段“But let’s be realistic. You will likely need to use a car this year.(但让我们现实一点。今年你可能需要用车。)”可知，作者认为不使用汽车是不切实际的。故选A。
29．推理判断题。根据第三段“Low tire pressure will hurt your fuel economy. Air conditioning and frequent city driving can make emissions go up So cut down on these as often as possible. Use cruise control（定速巡航）on long drives—in most cases, this can help to save gas. Don’t weigh your car down with extra things that you don’t need on your trip.( 轮胎气压过低会影响你的燃油经济性。空调和频繁的城市驾驶会使排放上升，所以尽可能减少这些排放。在长途驾驶中使用巡航控制——在大多数情况下，这可以帮助节省汽油。不要给你的车添置旅途中不需要的额外物品。)”可知适当的保养汽车可以节省汽车的燃油，故选A。
30．词句猜测题。根据最后一段“If you can’t avoid flying, you can offset them by donating money to sustainable products, such as supplying efficient stoves to rural homes, or projects which help farmers deal with crop waste environmentally. (如果你不能避免坐飞机，你可以通过向可持续产品捐款来offset这些影响，比如向农村家庭提供高效炉灶，或者帮助农民环保处理作物废弃物的项目。)”可知，这里是在建议用高效节能的方法来抵消因坐飞机而产生的碳足迹，所以offset的意思应该是“抵消，弥补”，和选项C意思一致。故选C。
31．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Carbon dioxide emissions from transportation are now thought as the top source of green-house gases. One of the most effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint is to reconsider how much, and how often, you travel. (交通运输产生的二氧化碳排放现在被认为是温室气体的首要来源。减少碳足迹的最有效方法之一是重新考虑你旅行的次数和频率。)”以及下文的描述可知，这篇文章主要讲述如何选择适当的出行方式来降低运输过程中的碳足迹。因此推断D项“降低交通运输中的碳足迹”为最佳标题。故选D。
32．D 33．B 34．A 35．C
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了中国宇航员在天宫空间站成功种植水稻幼苗，这项实验可能为宇航员如何种植粮食以支持长期太空任务提供关键见解。

33．词句猜测题。根据第三段““The rice seedlings are growing very well,” said Zheng Huiqiong, a researcher of the task, adding that the experiment also contained seedlings of a small flowering plant often used by scientists to study mutations(变异).( “水稻幼苗长得很好，”该任务的研究员郑慧琼说，他补充说，该实验还包含了一种小型开花植物的幼苗，科学家经常用它来研究突变)”可知如果实验成功，他们将收集新产生的种子，并将它们带回地球进行进一步研究。故此处的it指代实验，故选B。
34．推理判断题。根据第五段“Since the 1980s, China has been taking seeds of rice and other crops to space to help them mutate and produce higher yields once they were planted on Earth.(自20世纪80年代以来，中国一直在将水稻和其他作物的种子带到太空，帮助它们在地球上种植后发生突变，从而产生更高的产量。)”可推断自上个世纪以来农作物种子被带到太空，促进基因变化，提高作物产量。故选A。
35．推理判断题。根据第一段“Chinese astronauts have successfully grown rice seedlings(幼苗)aboard the Tiangong space station and this experiment may offer key insights into how astronauts can grow food to support long—term space missions, experts said on Monday.( 专家周一表示，中国宇航员已经成功地在天宫空间站上种植水稻幼苗，这一实验可能为宇航员如何种植食物以支持长期太空任务提供关键见解。)”可知文章是关于科学的一篇报道，故选C。

The example of a foreign teacher who volunteered to help fight the wildfires in Chongqing’s Beibei District with other local residents has touched many.
In the unbearable heat and drought conditions, multiple wildfires hit parts of Chongqing. On Sunday night, a forest fire broke out and spread in Beibei District. The local government issued an urgent call for volunteers with certain skills and experience, such as chain saw（链锯）operation, to join in the firefighting. Chain saws were used to create fire barriers.
“I was happy to help,” said Francis Stonier, a professor in a university. “I used to cut trees around my yard and neighborhood and had volunteered many times in the US in the past.”
Stonier found a translator—50-year-old He Wu, a foreign language professor—who also signed up to fight fires. Soon after arriving at the volunteer area, the pair were assigned to one of the chain saw groups—examining and adjusting chain saws.
“Stonier is responsible and focused, and is doing a really good job,” said He, adding that Stonier checked each chain saw carefully, to see if it was too tight or too loose. “Wherever I went, the volunteers and local residents gave me a big thumbs-up. It was an unforgettable experience,” Stonier said.
Thanks to the joint efforts of fire and rescue workers, as well as volunteers and residents, the scaring wildfire in Beibei had been put out as of Thursday night.
“It was great to see such an outpouring of help in the extreme heat,” Stonier said, noting that he was impressed with the number of locals who came to help. Motorcyclists gave up their jobs to transport materials and people up and down the mountains. Others gave their time to carry heavy supplies, prepare and serve meals or help organize.
24．What caused the outbreak of the forest fire in Beibei District
A．The extreme heat and drought.
B．The local area being short of water.
C．The existence of enough oil materials.
D．The lack of people guarding the forest.
25．Why was Stonier accepted to participate in the firefighting
A．He was capable of creating fire barriers.
B．He was experienced in chain saw operation.
C．He was determined to become a firefighter.
D．He showed no consideration for his own safety.
26．Which words can best describe Stonier
A．Determined and creative. B．Generous and independent.
C．Devoted and courageous. D．Humorous and passionate.
27．What message does the author intend to convey in the last paragraph
A．To care is to help. B．Many hands make light work.
C．Dare to challenge and achieve yourself. D．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
C
Carbon dioxide emissions from transportation are now thought as the top source of greenhouse gases. One of the most effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint is to reconsider how much, and how often, you travel.
Going car free for a year could save about 2.6 tons of carbon dioxide, according to a study from the University of British Columbia. How can you stop using a car Try taking a train, bus or better yet, riding a bike.
But let’s be realistic. You will likely need to use a car this year. So, when you do, here are some tips to make your trip more climate-friendly. Driving efficiently can help to reduce emissions. Go easy on the gas and brakes and drive like you have an egg under your foot. Regularly service your car to keep it more efficient. Keeping your tires pumped correctly can reduce emissions. Low tire pressure will hurt your fuel economy. Air conditioning and frequent city driving can make emissions go up. So cut down on these as often as possible. Use cruise control(定速巡航)on long drives-in most cases, this can help to save gas. Don’t weigh your car down with extra things that you don’t need on your trip.
Fly often Taking one fewer long round-trip flight could reduce your personal carbon footprint significantly. If you use public transportation often and fly less, your carbon footprint might still be relatively sustainable, but if you drive and fly a lot, your emissions will be higher. If you can’t avoid flying, you can offset them by donating money to sustainable projects, such as supplying efficient stoves to rural homes, or projects which help farmers deal with crop waste environmentally.
28．What does the author think of going car free
A．Impractical. B．Costly. C．Efficient. D．Reliable.
29．Which can be adopted to save fuel of your car
A．Maintaining your car properly.
B．Using cruise control in the city.
C．Stepping hard on the gas and brakes.
D．Getting rid of all the necessary loads.
30．What does the underlined word “offset” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Set foot in. B．Team up with.
C．Make up for. D．Put up with.
31．Which is the best title for the text
A．How to save fuel when driving cars
B．How to reduce your carbon footprint
C．Reduce carbon footprint by all means
D．Lower carbon footprint in transportation

Chinese astronauts have successfully grown rice seedlings(幼苗)aboard the Tiangong space station and this experiment may offer key insights into how astronauts can grow food to support long—term space missions, experts said on Monday. This experiment is the first to produce the complete life cycle of the plant, which begins with a seed and ends with a mature plant producing new seeds.
The breakthrough was conducted in the Wentian space laboratory, which was launched into orbit on July 24, 2022. Three astronauts were conducting the experiment smoothly and testing the plants according to the plan.
“The rice seedlings are growing very well,” said Zheng Huiqiong, a researcher of the task, adding that the experiment also contained seedlings of a small flowering plant often used by scientists to study mutations(变异). “The astronauts will keep monitoring the plants, and if it is successful, they will collect the newly produced seeds and bring them back to Earth for further studies,” she noted
The flowering stage is crucial for plant reproductive development. “We want to investigate how microgravity can affect the plant flowering time and whether it is possible to use the microgravity environment to control the related process,” she said.
Since the 1980s, China has been taking seeds of rice and other crops to space to help them mutate and produce higher yields once they were planted on Earth. But growing rice in orbit is a different challenge due to the tough conditions of space such as microgravity and lack of air.
Rice has been a main food for astronauts since the early days of space exploration. Freeze—dried chicken and rice was the menu for the Apollo 11 mission, which carried the first humans to land on the moon in July 1969.
“But if we want to land on and explore Mars, bringing food from Earth is not enough to provide for the astronauts’ long journey and mission in space. We have to find a food source for long term space explorations,” Zheng added.

A．It enables human beings to move to another planet.
B．It helps people get a better idea of the human life cycle.
C．It inspires more other countries to do space explorations

第二节（满分 25 分）
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。
I was in my room, unwilling to head to the community theatre with “my brother” Henry. He was just adopted by my parents recently. I was not in the mood for being onstage with him.
“Kristie, come here,” my mom called. Following her voice, I found her outside the bathroom, holding a wet book. She gave the book a shake. “Henry’s book was in the bathtub. Did you put it there ” She glared at me—something she never did before Henry came to our home. I didn’t wet his book on purpose. Tears of hurt clouded my eyes. Worse still, she promised to buy him a new copy. My heart ached. Henry was stealing my mother’s love. He was ruining my life.
Meanwhile, Henry was just nearby, absorbed in working on a complicated rope knot (绳结) as usual. Why did a boy like him do the girly work Far from manly!
Soon, it was time to have to set off for the community theatre. As Henry walked ahead of us to the car, my mom took me aside and said in a low voice, “It’s the first time for Henry to be onstage. Be kind to him, Honey.” I nodded but sighed. Being kind didn’t use to be hard. But after Henry moved in, everything felt different. The theatre used to be a special place for my parents and me. With Henry involved, it didn’t seem so special any more.
Finally, it was our stage time. My heart beat wildly. I forgot my annoyance at Henry for a while. As we kids lined up, ready to act out our short play, I realized how loosely I had tied the drawstring (束带) on my skirt. Sure enough, my skirt began to drop. Laughter from the audience could be heard, and even though I was wearing shorts under my skirt, I could feel my face burst into flames. However, my hands were full. If only someone could help me out!
注意：续写词数应为 150 左右；
Right then, Henry sensed my embarrassment.
