A place in the sun Now’s the time to lock in a Christmas vacation. But how to please the whole family Here are three options for a multi-generational family.
Costa Rica, Curated
You can comfortably explore the northwest Costa Rica in Guanacaste, an area known for its beaches. While not huge, it still allows for activities suitable for both old and young, from horseback riding to surfing and fishing. And Hotel Aguas offers all sorts of accommodations — houses, bungalows or rooms, depending on your preferences.
Pros: December is reliably sunny weather.
Cons: It’s the busiest and priciest two weeks of the year.
Beachy, Historical Belize
Ambergris Caye, the biggest island of the country, promises all the outdoor sports. You could enjoy diving, reef fishing, swimming alongside colorful fish and nursing sharks at Shark Ray Alley. For family members who are afraid of sharks, a sunset sail or beach barbecue will suit pretty much everyone.
Pros: December is outside the rainy season and temperatures are cooler.
Cons: Many of the best tours are booked in advance. Last minute choices are limited.

Babusha, or “eight-step sands”, got its name because the desert was always just eight steps away from the farmers’ doors. Today, the desert’s southward movement has been stopped thanks to a green belt planted in the last 40 years by Guo Wangang and his colleagues. As a result, Guo was named a National Moral Model in 2020.
Guo is only part of the second generation of “soldiers” to fight against the desert. His father was one of the six men who first began planting trees in Babusha. When Guo’s father fell ill in 1983, he hoped that his son would follow in his footsteps.
Guo remembers being reluctant to give up his stable government job. “My father repeatedly stressed that we had to make sure our farms weren’t eaten by the desert,” Guo said, adding that he eventually agreed to work at the farm because he didn’t want to see the trees die.
However, it was the deadly sandstorm in 1993 that turned Guo into a determined “soldier”. The fast moving brown wall of dust reached high into the sky and turned day into night. Guo was working in the desert with his colleagues when it hit. They only managed to get home after trekking for six hours in darkness. Later, he learned that 23 students were found dead in a river as they tried to get home from school during the sandstorm.
Since then, Guo and his colleagues have continued planting trees every spring and fall, pruning (修剪) them in winter and watching out for fire. Their struggle continues. Today more and more young people have joined with scientific and innovative methods. For example, the farm now is subsidized (资助) by Ant Forest, a public welfare project launched by the e-commerce giant, Alibaba. It rewards users with virtual energy in exchange for low-carbon activities, which can then be used to do things, like having trees planted.
“We need more such young people to help us find other advanced and engineering methods for desertification control,” said Guo Wangang.
4. What was Guo Wangang’s first reaction to his father’s request
A. He advised his father to stop planting trees.
B. He was unwilling to give up his stable job.
C. He immediately agreed to work at the farm.
D. He was determined to fight against the desert.
5. Which marks the turning point in Guo Wangang’s desert-fighting career
A. Finishing the green belt.
B. Winning National Moral Model title.
C. Seeing his father’s falling ill.
D. Experiencing a deadly sandstorm.
6. Why does the author mention Ant Forest
A. To show young people’s creative methods.
B. To advocate the low-carbon way of living.
C. To praise Ant Forest’s unique contribution.
D. To indicate Guo and his team’s difficulties.
7. What does the author try to express with Guo’s story
A. Well begun is half done.
B. One tree doesn’t make a forest.
C. Opportunity favours only the prepared mind.
D. Nothing is too difficult if you put your heart into it.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述经过Guo Wangang和同事们几十年的努力，“八步沙”治理效果明显。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“When Guo’s father fell ill in 1983, he hoped that his son would follow in his footsteps.(1983年，当郭的父亲生病时，他希望儿子能追随他的脚步)”和第三段的“Guo remembers being reluctant to give up his stable government job.(郭记得他不愿意放弃他稳定的政府工作)”可知，Guo Wangang对父亲请求的第一反应是不愿意放弃稳定的政府部门工作而去种树。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“However, it was the deadly sandstorm in 1993 that turned Guo into a determined “soldier”.(然而，正是1993年那场致命的沙尘暴让郭成为了一名坚定的“战士”)”可知，经历一场致命的沙尘暴标志着Guo Wangang治理沙漠的转折点。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“For example, the farm now is subsidized (资助) by Ant Forest, a public welfare project launched by the e-commerce giant, Alibaba. It rewards users with virtual energy in exchange for low-carbon activities, which can then be used to do things, like having trees planted.(例如，这个农场现在得到了蚂蚁森林的补贴，蚂蚁森林是电商巨头阿里巴巴发起的一个公益项目。它用虚拟能源来奖励用户进行低碳活动，这些虚拟能源可以用来做一些事情，比如种树)”和最后一段““We need more such young people to help us find other advanced and engineering methods for desertification control,” said Guo Wangang.(郭万刚说：“我们需要更多这样的年轻人来帮助我们找到其他先进的工程方法来控制荒漠化。”)”推知，提到“蚂蚁森林”是为了表明年轻人具有创意的方法。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，并根据第一段的“Today, the desert’s southward movement has been stopped thanks to a green belt planted in the last 40 years by Guo Wangang and his colleagues. As a result, Guo was named a National Moral Model in 2020.(今天，由于郭万刚和他的同事们在过去40年里种植的绿化带，沙漠的南下运动已经停止。因此，郭在2020年被评为全国道德模范)”可知，经过Guo Wangang和同事们几十年的努力，“八步沙”治理效果明显。由此推知，文章想通过Guo Wangang的故事告诉我们“世上无难事，只怕有心人”这个道理。故选D。
C
No high school is alike in the United States, but there is one tradition that nearly every school has: senior prank (恶作剧). Linganore is no exception, and this year the class of 2023 certainly lived up to your expectations.
Like many senior pranks, there were many different ideas, one of which was to take every desk and chair out of classes and put them in the stadium. Fortunately for Linganore teachers, this concept was not put into action; instead, the students stuck with the classic method of throwing paper on anything and everything. Next, some seniors used balloons to totally fill the stairs on Main Street closest to the front entrance. Many seniors parked in the worst ways possible throughout the parking lots.
Cole Simmonds arrived at school before much of the chaos started. Along with witnessing seniors throw paper on trees, Simmonds’ car was a victim of the prank when it was attacked with water balloons. In addition to being annoyed by the water balloons, Simmonds was also unhappy with the lack of originality from the seniors.
The last part of the seniors’ final day included a Slip & Slide placed at the top of the hill behind the school that went down to the lower parking lot. To prevent injury, a teacher supervised the seniors’ Slip & Slide to ensure safety. The goals of the Slip Slide were not only to make the seniors’ last day something to remember but to encourage students to participate in fun activities permitted by the school.
Although not as humorous or creative as some believed it could have been, the Slip & Slide and balloons in the stairs were very impressive and were good aspects of this year’s prank. Hopefully, the class of 2024 will do something that not only avoids annoying people but is also funny.
8. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us
A. Different pranks the seniors did.
B. Side effects senior pranks had.
C. Traditional pranks in Linganore.
D Desired aims of senior pranks.
9. What is Simmonds’ attitude toward the senior prank this year
A. Worried. B. Displeased. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned.
10. What does the underlined word “supervised” mean in paragraph 4
A. Took pride in. B. Entered for.
C. Benefited from. D. Took charge of.
11. Where does this text probably come from
A. A sports magazine. B. A travel brochure.
C. A school website. D. A science fiction.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了Linganore高中2023年高年级恶作剧的情况，学生对此次活动的评价，以及对2024年活动的期待。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段的“Like many senior pranks, there were many different ideas, one of which was to take every desk and chair out of classes and put them in the stadium.(像许多高年级恶作剧一样，有许多不同的想法，其中一个是把教室里的每一张桌子和椅子都拿出来放在体育馆里)”和“Next, some seniors used balloons to totally fill the stairs on Main Street closest to the front entrance. Many seniors parked in the worst ways possible throughout the parking lots.(接下来，一些高年级学生用气球填满了主街最靠近前门的楼梯。许多老年人在整个停车场以最糟糕的方式停车)”可知，本段主要介绍了高年学生所做的不同的恶作剧。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“In addition to being annoyed by the water balloons, Simmonds was also unhappy with the lack of originality from the seniors.(除了被水球惹恼之外，Simmonds还对高年级学生缺乏独创性感到不满)”可知，Simmonds对高年级恶作剧感到不满。故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句子“To prevent injury, a teacher supervised the seniors’ Slip & Slide to ensure safety.(为了防止受伤，一名老师supervised高年级学生的滑滑梯以确保安全)”中的to prevent injury和to ensure safety可知，为了确保安全防止受伤，一名老师监督者高年级学生的滑滑梯。因此划线词意为“监督，管理”，与take charge of同义。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了Linganore高中2023年高年级恶作剧的情况，学生Cole Simmonds对此次活动的评价，以及对2024年活动的期待。由此推知，本文最有可能出自校园网站。故选C。
D
Yellow flower carpeted fields are a sure sign of summer. In Denmark alone, more than 200,000 hectares of rapeseed (油菜籽) are planted every year. But until now, the plant has only been used for oil and animal food, as it is both bitter and unsafe for human consumption.
To protect themselves, the rapeseed plants produce a group of substances (物质) called glucosinolates (硫苷), which give the plants a strong and bitter taste that scares off insects and disease. As a result rapeseed is unhealthy to eat and the rapeseed cake, which is the remains of the seeds after the oil has been squeezed out, has only been used as feed for pigs and chickens, despite its 30 — 40 percent protein content.
Now, researchers from the University of Copenhagen have discovered the three proteins that help to store the bitter substances in seeds of thale cress (阿拉伯芥), a plant closely related to the rapeseed. The new knowledge makes it possible to prevent the accumulation (积聚) of these substances in the seed by removing the proteins through “transport engineering” technology. In doing so, the defensive substances remain in all other parts of the plant, allowing it to continue to defend itself.
So far, the researchers have shown that their method works in thale cress. “The next task is to apply our method to the closely related rapeseed plant, which we are now working on,” says Professor Halkier, leader of the research.
“Half of plant proteins in the EU come from rapeseed. The climate crisis demands that we reduce meat consumption and eat more plants, which is where rapeseed has great potential as a new source of plant protein. Our latest research results bring us a step closer to making full use of rapeseed,” says Professor Halkier.
12. What is the function of paragraph 2
A. To state the reason. B. To offer the solution.
C. To give an example. D. To introduce the topic.
13. According to the research, how did scientists rid thale cress of its bitter taste
A. By selecting better seeds. B. By removing the three proteins.
C. By increasing sweet tastes. D. By storing defensive substances.
14. What do Halkier’s words focus on
A. Researchers’ efforts to better the taste.
B. Researchers’ progress in their experiment.
C. Rapeseed’s role in relieving climate crisis.
D. Rapeseed’s potential as a new protein source.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for this text
A. Harmful proteins discovered in rapeseed
B. Rapeseed widely used as oil and animal food
C. Researchers closer to making rapeseed safe food
D. New plant protein in rapeseed finally uncovered
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍研究发现移除三种蛋白质，油菜籽有可能变得可以食用，并有成为植物蛋白新来源的巨大潜力。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“To protect themselves, the rapeseed plants produce a group of substances (物质) called glucosinolates (硫苷), which give the plants a strong and bitter taste that scares off insects and disease. As a result rapeseed is unhealthy to eat (为了保护自己，油菜籽会产生一种叫做硫代葡萄糖苷(苷)的物质，这种物质会给油菜籽带来一种强烈而苦涩的味道，可以吓跑昆虫和疾病。因此，食用油菜籽是不健康的)”推知，第二段的目的是陈述食用油菜籽不安全的原因。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Now, researchers from the University of Copenhagen have discovered the three proteins that help to store the bitter substances in seeds of thale cress (阿拉伯芥), a plant closely related to the rapeseed. The new knowledge makes it possible to prevent the accumulation (积聚) of these substances in the seed by removing the proteins through “transport engineering” technology. (现在，哥本哈根大学的研究人员已经发现了三种蛋白质，它们有助于在芥蓝(一种与油菜籽密切相关的植物)的种子中储存苦味物质。新知识使得通过“运输工程”技术去除蛋白质来防止这些物质在种子中的积累成为可能)”可知，科学家们通过移除芥蓝中的三种蛋白质来去除芥蓝籽的苦味。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Half of plant proteins in the EU come from rapeseed. The climate crisis demands that we reduce meat consumption and eat more plants, which is where rapeseed has great potential as a new source of plant protein. Our latest research results bring us a step closer to making full use of rapeseed (欧盟一半植物蛋白来自油菜籽。气候危机要求我们减少肉类消费，多吃植物，这就是油菜籽作为植物蛋白新来源的巨大潜力。我们最新的研究成果使我们离充分利用油菜籽又近了一步)”可知，Halkier的话集中在油菜作为一种新蛋白质来源的潜力上。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合倒数第二段“So far, the researchers have shown that their method works in thale cress. “The next task is to apply our method to the closely related rapeseed plant, which we are now working on,” says Professor Halkier, leader of the research. (到目前为止，研究人员已经证明他们的方法在芥蓝中有效。“下一个任务是将我们的方法应用到与之密切相关的油菜籽植物上，这是我们目前正在研究的，”该研究的负责人Halkier教授说)”和最后一段“Our latest research results bring us a step closer to making full use of rapeseed (我们最新的研究成果使我们离充分利用油菜籽又近了一步)”可知，文章主要介绍在芥蓝（一种与油菜籽密切相关的植物）上的研究表明，通过移除三种蛋白质油菜籽有可能变得可以食用，并有成为植物蛋白新来源的巨大潜力。C项“Researchers closer to making rapeseed safe food (研究人员更接近于制作油菜籽安全食品)”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选C。

Four ways to find humour in everyday life
If you think your life is too boring to be funny, joke’s on you: humour is all around us.
____16____ It sparks energy, improves mood and increases overall health. Adding humour to life also leads to social benefits. When you experience humour with somebody, you bond with them. When people are bonded, they feel more relaxed and comfortable. Doctor Sultanoff offered the following tips.
● Figure out what makes you laugh
Think about what kind of humour appeals to you, then seek it out as often as possible. Go to comedy shows and spend more time with people who make you laugh. ____17____ Store some funny videos on Instagram or TikTok, and then return to them when you need to relax.
● ____18____
We’re often not aware of what’s in front of us until we start looking for it, so set a daily intention to look for humour. “When you wake up in the morning, say, ‘I’m going to find one thing today that I can giggle at,’” suggests Sultanoff. You’ll find the funny in unexpected places and laugh a lot more.
● Master one joke
Many of us innately (天生的) love to make others laugh, and doing so doesn’t require great comedic skill. “I tell people to learn one simple, good joke,” Sultanoff says. “It doesn’t have to be long.” ____19____
● Train yourself to be quick-witted
Sultanoff always combines humour with his medical practice. On a rainy day a man came to his clinic with a baby, and as he was leaving. Sultanoff said, “Be sure to cover up the baby.” ____20____ What would you say if you were the man Well, after a moment’s embarrassment, the man said, “Don’t worry about my son. He hasn’t had a shower yet today.” Brainstorm quips (俏皮话), and you’ll “train yourself to at some point be able to do them in the moment they occur.”
A. Social media can also be useful
B. That made the man a little awkward.
C. Discover at least one funny thing a day
D. Try to smile as frequently as you can every day
E. Practice it, then use it in situations that need some laughter
F. Adding humour to your daily life brings a variety of benefits
G. Laughing helps you improve your health and interact easily with others
【答案】16. F 17. A 18. C 19. E 20. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了4个在日常生活中发现幽默的方法。
【16题详解】
根据下文“Adding humour to life also leads to social benefits.(给生活增添幽默感也会带来社会效益)”中的also推知，空处陈述在日常生活中添加幽默是有好处的。F项“Adding humour to your daily life brings a variety of benefits(在日常生活中增加幽默感会带来多种好处)”符合题意，故选F。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Go to comedy shows and spend more time with people who make you laugh. (去看喜剧节目，花更多的时间和那些让你开怀大笑的人在一起)”和下文“Store some funny videos on Instagram or TikTok, and then return to them when you need to relax.(在Instagram或TikTok上存储一些有趣的视频，然后在需要放松时查看)”可知，除了去看喜剧节目，浏览社交媒体，看有趣的视频也有用。A项“Social media can also be useful(社交媒体也很有用)”符合题意，下文是对选项的具体说明。故选A。
【18题详解】
空处为本段小标题。根据下文“We’re often not aware of what’s in front of us until we start looking for it, so set a daily intention to look for humour. “When you wake up in the morning, say, ‘I’m going to find one thing today that I can giggle at,’” suggests Sultanoff. You’ll find the funny in unexpected places and laugh a lot more.(在我们开始寻找之前，我们通常不会意识到眼前是什么，所以每天都要有寻找幽默的意图。Sultanoff建议：“当你早上醒来时，说，‘我今天要找到一件我可以笑的事情。’”。你会在意想不到的地方发现有趣的地方，并笑得更多)”可知，本段建议每天都寻找幽默的、可笑的事。C项“Discover at least one funny thing a day(每天至少发现一件有趣的事情)”可以作为本段小标题，funny是关键词。故选C。
【19题详解】
根据小标题“Master one joke(掌握一个笑话)”可知，本段建议掌握一个笑话，结合空处上文““I tell people to learn one simple, good joke,” Sultanoff says. “It doesn’t have to be long.”(苏尔塔诺夫说：“我告诉人们要学会一个简单、好的笑话。”。“不需要很长时间。”)”可知，学到一个简单的笑话后，通过不断练习来掌握，并在适当的时候运用它。E项“Practice it, then use it in situations that need some laughter(练习它，然后在需要笑声的情况下使用它)”符合题意，承接上文。故选E。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Sultanoff always combines humour with his medical practice. On a rainy day a man came to his clinic with a baby, and as he was leaving. Sultanoff said, “Be sure to cover up the baby.” (苏尔塔诺夫总是把幽默和他的医疗实践结合起来。一个雨天，一个男人带着一个婴儿来到他的诊所，正要离开。苏尔塔诺夫说：“一定要把婴儿盖起来。”)”推知，空处应陈述那个男人对Sultanoff的话的反应。B项“That made the man a little awkward.(这让他有点尴尬)”符合题意，且下文“Well, after a moment’s embarrassment, the man said, “Don’t worry about my son. He hasn’t had a shower yet today.” (好吧，在一阵尴尬之后，那个人说：“不要担心我的儿子。他今天还没洗澡呢。”)”中的embarrassment呼应选项中的awkward。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国民间音乐，包括它的发展、种类和意义等。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：它的起源可以追溯到新石器时代，当时中国人开始制造更好的工具。分析可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是the Neolithic Age，代替先行词在从句中作时间状语，应用关系副词when引导该从句。故填when。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意：民间音乐是他们生活的重要组成部分，它被用于娱乐和宗教目的。空处应填名词作宾语，entertainment“娱乐”符合题意，此处为抽象概念，不可数。故填entertainment。
【43题详解】
考查代词。句意：中国民间音乐有许多不同的类型，每一种都有自己的历史和传统。one’s own...“某人自己的……”是固定搭配。故填their。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：中国民间音乐传统上是用各种各样的乐器演奏的。修饰谓语动词is performed应用所给词的副词形式。故填traditionally。
【45题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：最常见的是管乐器和打击乐器。“the+adj.”指代一类人/物作主语时谓语动词用复数形式，句子陈述客观事实，应用一般现在时。故填are。
【46题详解】
考查形容词。句意：中国民间音乐中的其他乐器包括二胡、琵琶和各种鼓。修饰名词词组types of drums，表示“各种各样的”应用形容词various/varied作定语。故填various/varied。
【47题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：几个世纪以来，民间音乐一直被用来表达人们的情感和思想，也被用来娱乐。空处为句子的谓语动词，根据时间状语For centuries判断此处为现在完成时，music和use之间为被动关系，应用被动语态，主语不可数，助动词用has。故填has been used。
【48题详解】
考查冠词。句意：中国民间音乐是一种重要的音乐形式，绝对值得花时间去了解。form“形式”是可数名词，此处为泛指，应用不定冠词修饰，且important的发音是元音音素开头，故填an。
【49题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：中国民间音乐是一种重要的音乐形式，绝对值得花时间去了解。be worth doing“值得做”是固定搭配，主动表被动。故填taking。
【50题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：然而，在中国也有一个不断发展的运动（来）推广中国传统文化，这可能有助于保持民间音乐的生命力。结合句意，此处可理解为运动的目的是推广中国传统文化，用不定式作目的状语；也可理解为promote作名词movement的后置定语，它们之间为逻辑主动关系，应用现在分词形式。故填to promote/promoting。

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Before leaving school, the kids in Class 4 were told they were going to have football lessons next week.
“Wow!” shouted Omar. “Real football! I bet I score ten goals!”
Back home he begged his mum to buy him a real football strip (彩条球衣), but was turned down. Their teacher Mr Hart only wanted them to have new shorts. Omar was not happy. That night he lay awake thinking. He was going to make sure his mum bought football shorts. He wanted proper white football shorts. Then he knew he could score lots of goals.
After breakfast the next day they set out to buy the new shorts. On the way they saw Matt and Ben from Class 4, who also lived in Lyon Street. They were kicking a ball about beside the road. When they noticed Omar, they invited him to join in, but Omar refused. He shouted back, “I’m off with my mum to buy new football shorts.” “We’ve got ours already,” Matt shouted back.
The market was very crowded. There were shoes and clothes for sale. One man was selling shorts. He was wearing a huge pair of animal shorts over his trousers. They had big green trees on with monkeys smiling at the top. The man stopped them, trying to persuade him to drop in and try on some shorts. Omar paid no attention to him and continued to search for a pair of real football shorts.
He pulled at his mum’s hand. They struggled through the crowds trying to find real football shorts. They found lots of shorts that were too big and a little white pair that was too small. When they did find a pair in Omar’s size they cost far too much money.
“We’ll just have to get the animal shorts,” said Mum. They went slowly back to the man selling animal shorts. They found the shorts had almost been sold out. Omar’s mum opened her purse and paid for the shorts.
Omar pulled a face. “I wish they were real football shorts,” he murmured.
“What matters in football is how to play, whatever you wear.” Omar’s mum bent down and gave him a hug, gently whispering to him.
That day, desperate Omar, in his animal shorts, was surprised to find most of his classmates wearing the same animal shorts.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
That day, desperate Omar, in his animal shorts, was surprised to find most of his classmates wearing the same animal shorts. What a relief! A smile crept onto his face. Seeing so many kids in the same animal shorts, Mr. Hart asked them to play for the same team and named them the Lyon Street Lions. They beat all the others. Omar scored five goals. His mum was right! What matters in football is how to play, whatever you wear. After school, Omar was the first to meet his mum at the gate. He told her about his five goals and the Lyon Street Lions. “We’d better go home quickly now,” said Omar. “I have to wash my shorts and tomorrow we’ll play again!”
【解析】
【导语】文章以购买白色足球短裤展开，讲述了Omar下周要踢足球，在老师的建议下妈妈带他去买足球短裤，Omar想买白色的，可逛遍了市场，白色短裤要么太小，要么太贵，最后只好买一条印着动物的短裤，妈妈安慰他说足球重要的怎么踢而不是穿什么。
【详解】1.段落续写：
根据首句“那天，绝望的奥马尔穿着他的动物短裤，惊讶地发现他的大多数同学都穿着同样的动物短裤”可知，下文可描写Omar当时的情绪，球队的表现，以及Omar对动物短裤态度的转变。
2. 续写线索：同学们都穿着动物短裤——心情放松——一起为球队效力——Omar表现出色——告诉妈妈结果——喜欢上动物短裤
3.词类激活

Babusha, or “eight-step sands”, got its name because the desert was always just eight steps away from the farmers’ doors. Today, the desert’s southward movement has been stopped thanks to a green belt planted in the last 40 years by Guo Wangang and his colleagues. As a result, Guo was named a National Moral Model in 2020.
Guo is only part of the second generation of “soldiers” to fight against the desert. His father was one of the six men who first began planting trees in Babusha. When Guo’s father fell ill in 1983, he hoped that his son would follow in his footsteps.
Guo remembers being reluctant to give up his stable government job. “My father repeatedly stressed that we had to make sure our farms weren’t eaten by the desert,” Guo said, adding that he eventually agreed to work at the farm because he didn’t want to see the trees die.
However, it was the deadly sandstorm in 1993 that turned Guo into a determined “soldier”. The fast moving brown wall of dust reached high into the sky and turned day into night. Guo was working in the desert with his colleagues when it hit. They only managed to get home after trekking for six hours in darkness. Later, he learned that 23 students were found dead in a river as they tried to get home from school during the sandstorm.
Since then, Guo and his colleagues have continued planting trees every spring and fall, pruning (修剪) them in winter and watching out for fire. Their struggle continues. Today more and more young people have joined with scientific and innovative methods. For example, the farm now is subsidized (资助) by Ant Forest, a public welfare project launched by the e-commerce giant, Alibaba. It rewards users with virtual energy in exchange for low-carbon activities, which can then be used to do things, like having trees planted.
“We need more such young people to help us find other advanced and engineering methods for desertification control,” said Guo Wangang.
4. What was Guo Wangang’s first reaction to his father’s request
A. He advised his father to stop planting trees.
B. He was unwilling to give up his stable job.
C. He immediately agreed to work at the farm.
D. He was determined to fight against the desert.
5. Which marks the turning point in Guo Wangang’s desert-fighting career
A. Finishing the green belt.
B. Winning National Moral Model title.
C. Seeing his father’s falling ill.
D. Experiencing a deadly sandstorm.
6. Why does the author mention Ant Forest
A. To show young people’s creative methods.
B. To advocate the low-carbon way of living.
C. To praise Ant Forest’s unique contribution.
D. To indicate Guo and his team’s difficulties.
7. What does the author try to express with Guo’s story
A. Well begun is half done.
B. One tree doesn’t make a forest.
C. Opportunity favours only the prepared mind.
D. Nothing is too difficult if you put your heart into it.
C
No high school is alike in the United States but there is one tradition that nearly every school has: senior prank (恶作剧). Linganore is no exception, and this year the class of 2023 certainly lived up to your expectations.
Like many senior pranks, there were many different ideas, one of which was to take every desk and chair out of classes and put them in the stadium. Fortunately for Linganore teachers, this concept was not put into action; instead, the students stuck with the classic method of throwing paper on anything and everything. Next, some seniors used balloons to totally fill the stairs on Main Street closest to the front entrance. Many seniors parked in the worst ways possible throughout the parking lots.
Cole Simmonds arrived at school before much of the chaos started. Along with witnessing seniors throw paper on trees, Simmonds’ car was a victim of the prank when it was attacked with water balloons. In addition to being annoyed by the water balloons, Simmonds was also unhappy with the lack of originality from the seniors.
The last part of the seniors’ final day included a Slip & Slide placed at the top of the hill behind the school that went down to the lower parking lot. To prevent injury, a teacher supervised the seniors’ Slip & Slide to ensure safety. The goals of the Slip Slide were not only to make the seniors’ last day something to remember but to encourage students to participate in fun activities permitted by the school.
Although not as humorous or creative as some believed it could have been, the Slip & Slide and balloons in the stairs were very impressive and were good aspects of this year’s prank. Hopefully, the class of 2024 will do something that not only avoids annoying people but is also funny.
8. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us
A. Different pranks the seniors did.
B. Side effects senior pranks had.
C. Traditional pranks in Linganore.
D. Desired aims of senior pranks.
9. What is Simmonds’ attitude toward the senior prank this year
A. Worried. B. Displeased. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned.
10. What does the underlined word “supervised” mean in paragraph 4
A. Took pride in. B. Entered for.
C. Benefited from. D. Took charge of.
11. Where does this text probably come from
A. A sports magazine. B. A travel brochure.
C. A school website. D. A science fiction.
D
Yellow flower carpeted fields are a sure sign of summer. In Denmark alone, more than 200,000 hectares of rapeseed (油菜籽) are planted every year. But until now, the plant has only been used for oil and animal food, as it is both bitter and unsafe for human consumption.
To protect themselves, the rapeseed plants produce a group of substances (物质) called glucosinolates (硫苷), which give the plants a strong and bitter taste that scares off insects and disease. As a result rapeseed is unhealthy to eat and the rapeseed cake, which is the remains of the seeds after the oil has been squeezed out, has only been used as feed for pigs and chickens, despite its 30 — 40 percent protein content.
Now, researchers from the University of Copenhagen have discovered the three proteins that help to store the bitter substances in seeds of thale cress (阿拉伯芥), a plant closely related to the rapeseed. The new knowledge makes it possible to prevent the accumulation (积聚) of these substances in the seed by removing the proteins through “transport engineering” technology. In doing so, the defensive substances remain in all other parts of the plant, allowing it to continue to defend itself.
So far, the researchers have shown that their method works in thale cress. “The next task is to apply our method to the closely related rapeseed plant, which we are now working on,” says Professor Halkier, leader of the research.
“Half of plant proteins in the EU come from rapeseed. The climate crisis demands that we reduce meat consumption and eat more plants, which is where rapeseed has great potential as a new source of plant protein. Our latest research results bring us a step closer to making full use of rapeseed,” says Professor Halkier.

Four ways to find humour in everyday life
If you think your life is too boring to be funny, joke’s on you: humour is all around us.
____16____ It sparks energy, improves mood and increases overall health. Adding humour to life also leads to social benefits. When you experience humour with somebody, you bond with them. When people are bonded, they feel more relaxed and comfortable. Doctor Sultanoff offered the following tips.
● Figure out what makes you laugh
Think about what kind of humour appeals to you, then seek it out as often as possible. Go to comedy shows and spend more time with people who make you laugh. ____17____ Store some funny videos on Instagram or TikTok, and then return to them when you need to relax.
● ____18____
We’re often not aware of what’s in front of us until we start looking for it, so set a daily intention to look for humour. “When you wake up in the morning, say, ‘I’m going to find one thing today that I can giggle at,’” suggests Sultanoff. You’ll find the funny in unexpected places and laugh a lot more.
● Master one joke
Many of us innately (天生的) love to make others laugh, and doing so doesn’t require great comedic skill. “I tell people to learn one simple, good joke,” Sultanoff says. “It doesn’t have to be long.” ____19____
● Train yourself to be quick-witted
Sultanoff always combines humour with his medical practice. On a rainy day a man came to his clinic with a baby and as he was leaving. Sultanoff said, “Be sure to cover up the baby.” ____20____ What would you say if you were the man Well, after a moment’s embarrassment, the man said, “Don’t worry about my son. He hasn’t had a shower yet today.” Brainstorm quips (俏皮话), and you’ll “train yourself to at some point be able to do them in the moment they occur.”
A. Social media can also be useful
B. That made the man a little awkward.
C. Discover at least one funny thing a day
D. Try to smile as frequently as you can every day
E. Practice it, then use it in situations that need some laughter
F. Adding humour to your daily life brings a variety of benefits
G. Laughing helps you improve your health and interact easily with others

Before leaving school, the kids in Class 4 were told they were going to have football lessons next week.
“Wow!” shouted Omar. “Real football! I bet I score ten goals!”
Back home he begged his mum to buy him a real football strip (彩条球衣), but was turned down. Their teacher Mr Hart only wanted them to have new shorts. Omar was not happy. That night he lay awake thinking. He was going to make sure his mum bought football shorts. He wanted proper white football shorts. Then he knew he could score lots of goals.
After breakfast the next day they set out to buy the new shorts. On the way they saw Matt and Ben from Class 4, who also lived in Lyon Street. They were kicking a ball about beside the road. When they noticed Omar, they invited him to join in, but Omar refused. He shouted back, “I’m off with my mum to buy new football shorts.” “We’ve got ours already,” Matt shouted back.
The market was very crowded. There were shoes and clothes for sale. One man was selling shorts. He was wearing a huge pair of animal shorts over his trousers. They had big green trees on with monkeys smiling at the top. The man stopped them, trying to persuade him to drop in and try on some shorts. Omar paid no attention to him and continued to search for a pair of real football shorts.
He pulled at his mum’s hand They struggled through the crowds trying to find real football shorts. They found lots of shorts that were too big and a little white pair that was too small. When they did find a pair in Omar’s size they cost far too much money.
“We’ll just have to get the animal shorts,” said Mum. They went slowly back to the man selling animal shorts. They found the shorts had almost been sold out. Omar’s mum opened her purse and paid for the shorts.
Omar pulled a face. “I wish they were real football shorts,” he murmured.
“What matters in football is how to play, whatever you wear.” Omar’s mum bent down and gave him a hug, gently whispering to him.
That day, desperate Omar, in his animal shorts, was surprised to find most of his classmates wearing the same animal shorts.
