With the development of camping at home and abroad, more and more people have strong interest in camping.
Camping provides outdoor lovers with the relaxation of the mind and inner peace. Here are some common ways to
camp.

conditions. You will search for food on your own in the wild and take emergency medical measures in the event of
danger. It would be a good idea to have a partner with a wealth of experience in the wild.

The sound of my mother preparing breakfast fills the house — my morning alarm.
As I walk toward the kitchen, I’m greeted by my mother standing over the cooker. She effortlessly cooks a
dish that mixes Western and Eastern styles, a beloved breakfast classic in our family. This is my grandmother’s
recipe.
Since my grandmother’s passing, I’ve become more aware of my mother’s aging and her devotion to cooking
for us. She has cooked for her family for more than 30 years, dividing her time between three countries — Korea,
Canada and Germany. When my parents visit us from Korea, they stay with us for several months. My mother
helps around the house, showing her cooking skills to provide delicious meals for me, my husband and our kids.
Every other year, she and my dad will travel to Berlin to spend a couple of weeks with my sister and her husband.

According to Statista, most Canadians report spending between 31 and 60 minutes preparing an average
weekday dinner for themselves and others in their houses. Ten percent stated that they spend more than an hour
preparing their evening meal. My mother belongs to that 10 percent.
Her cooking goes beyond the kitchen, starting with careful grocery shopping trips where she examines
produce and finds the best deals. She takes everyone’s preferences and needs into account. The meal she creates
becomes a ritual (仪 式 ), bringing the family together to connect and share. Helping her out in the kitchen
requires a great deal of patience. Yet, I know it’s her way of expressing love. As I prepare the vegetables, she
notices that my carrots are not evenly sized. She pushes me aside to take over the task. “Just do the dishes.”
24. What do we know about the author’s mother from paragraph 2
A. She has great cooking skills.
B. She has more than two children.
C. She lives with the author in Korea.

Unclear guidelines for when to keep a child at home if they are sick might play a part in the nationwide
第 5页/共 12页
problem of students missing too much school.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is an organization (组 织 ) for doctors who treat children. It
suggests that children stay at home when there are signs of sickness like fever, or when students are not well
enough to attend classes. But many schools go far beyond that, offering different signs of sickness that would stop
parents from sending their children to school.
Trenace has a five-year-old daughter who was sick a lot last year. The mother followed school guidelines and
kept her daughter home when she had a cough, painful throat, or fever. Near the end of the year, school officials
called her in to talk about why her daughter had missed so much school. “In the past, if the child didn’t have a fever,
then it’s okay to send them to school,” said the mother. “But now it’s like if they have a cough, you have to keep
them home. Which is it ”
Children who missed school a lot found it more difficult to catch up. Missing 10 percent or more of the school
year puts students at risk. Students who miss school also might miss meals, socializing with other students and
teachers, physical exercise, and health care services.
Recently, the state of California decided to change their stay-at-home guideline for the autumn. The new
guideline says children with low-level signs of sickness can come to school.
Noha Aboelata, who leads the Roots Health Centre in Oakland, California, said the change in guidance might
make a big difference. She hoped that parents and schools will learn about the new guidance and that students will
miss less school. “The most important place for our kids to be is school,” she said.
28. What’s the function of the first paragraph
A. To voice worries. B. To express thanks.
C. To offer a suggestion. D. To introduce the topic.
29. What can we infer about the health guidelines in each school
A. They were difficult to follow. B. They were well received.
C. They troubled many parents. D. They put teachers at risk.
30. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us about missing school
A. Its lasting value. B. Its bad influence.
C. Its background. D. Its common cause.
31. What does Noha Aboelata say about the new rule
A. It will play an active role. B. It will come to an end soon.
C. It will make no sense to kids. D. It will leave parents surprised.

When it comes to invertebrates (无脊椎动物), most of us think about bees, worms, or perhaps even a jellyfish.
But did you know that at least two-thirds of invertebrates work the night shift, meaning many are unlikely to be
seen They use the light of the moon and stars to learn about the world and make important decisions. Many insects
use the weak light of the moon or stars to tell which way is up when flying in complete darkness.
For centuries, artificial (人造的) light has been a sign of technological advance. Light has shaped human
civilization. But while we enjoy its convenience, we often overlook the darker side of lighting: light pollution. It
harms ecosystem, with serious results for wildlife, human health and energy use. A 2021 study found that
caterpillar (毛毛虫) numbers were 52% lower in areas with street lights. The winter moth is a small but important
species. In early spring its caterpillars provide key food for blue tit chicks. But light pollution confuses the adult
moths, breaks up mating and influences egg-laying, leading to fewer caterpillars. With falling caterpillar numbers,
blue tits find it hard to feed their young.
In one sense, light pollution is quite easy to solve — we can simply not turn on the lights. But in fact, this is
mostly not possible as lights serve human life. If we cannot turn off the lights, there are other management
approaches to lessen harm: control their number, weaken them and shorten their on-time.
However, it remains unclear how much artificial light influences invertebrates. These changes probably
influence their health and life, so more studies are needed to understand what difficulties artificial light brings to
them. We need experts from different fields to work together to understand the wider influence of artificial light on
wildlife biodiversity and ecosystem health, and to find proper solutions.
32. What do we know about most of invertebrates
A. They are dying out. B. They are active at night.
C. They use darkness to hide. D. They depend on natural light to live.
33. What does the 2021 study show
A. The danger of street lights. B. The importance of caterpillars.
C. The effect of light pollution on ecosystem. D. The challenge of protecting wild animals.
34. What is author’s view on turning off the lights
A. Thankful. B. Positive. C. Unrealistic. D. Unconcerned.
35. What can be the best title for the passage
A. Night Animals: What Are Their Secrets
B. Caterpillar Decrease: What Is the Real Cause

C Artificial Light: Should We Turn It Off Or Not
D. The Night Shift: How Does Light Pollution Harm Nature

阅读下面短文，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。
Studying a subject that you feel pointless is never fun. ___36___ The answer is clear. History is essential in
human civilization. Learning history helps you learn its significance.
History grounds us in our roots. History is an interesting field of study, and learning the history of our
homeland can offer a deeper glimpse into our pasts. ___37___ Many people feel like they need a sense of cultural
belonging, which is about studying your roots and being open-minded to the today’s evolution.
___38___ Reading history is an amazing experience because it enables us to reflect on the social and
economic life of the people living long time ago. Experts argue that problems faced by people regardless of the past
and present are the same. With the information about the ancestors, one can become more experienced in handling
challenges of life.
History makes us more empathetic (共情的). Studying history can give us insight into why our culture does
certain things, and how the past has shaped it into what we know now. It also provides a strong foundation for
empathy across cultures. Fear and hate for others is usually caused by ignorance. ___39___ History can break
down those boundaries.
History can inspire us to learn more. What’s fantastic about history is the way it broadens horizons. It’s
impossible to learn about one historical period without knowing related concepts. Study the 19th century England,

away from his novels, and discover the history of England.

Last Thursday, our school’s Calligraphy Club held an event, “Express Feelings with Brush and Ink, Explore
Beauty in Chinese Characters”, in the art room. Students who love calligraphy from different grades joined in.
During the event, a teacher first gave a detailed introduction to Chinese character culture, explaining how each
character carried rich meanings. Then, a calligraphy-writing competition was held. Everyone tried their best to
write beautifully. Those who wrote well received prizes.
This event, which was a big hit, made students sense the charm of Chinese characters, and what they learned
will inspire their love for Chinese culture.

17-20 W: Welcome to the Selmore Public Library. To join the library, you need a membership card. Take
your passport or ID card, as well as show your home address, to the information desk. After a period of two years,
all readers are required to go to the desk with a paper that has their name and present address on it so the library can
keep up-to-date records of where people are living. There’s no need to register again and there is no charge for this.
If you can’t find the book you want on the shelves, you can book it in advance. If it’s in another library in the city,
we can usually get it for you within a week. If someone else has borrowed it, it can take a few weeks. Either way,
we tell you by phone when the book can be picked up. We will hold it for you for five days. Books can be
borrowed for fourteen days. Children’s books also have a two-week borrowing period. So do the CDs but DVDs,
both children’s and adults’, can only be borrowed for up to seven days. Dictionaries can be borrowed but normally
only for one day. The library opening hours have been changed slightly. Instead of opening late on Wednesday
evenings until 8:00 p.m., we will be closing at 6, but we will close at 7 instead of 5:30 on Saturdays and we are
going to open on Sunday mornings from next month — 9 to 1. Notices are posted in the library about these.
