写作第二节
Every day after school, Reuben started his plan. Cold and hungry, Reuben wandered the streets, searching for the nail bags carefully. To save more money, he even decided to deliver papers in the early morning. Exhausted and tired as he felt, he still stuck to the plan. It was the brooch in the shop window that reminded him that what he did was worthwhile. After a long time of hard work, he made it eventually.
Finally, the time came! He took out the soda tin, poured the coins out and began to count. Five dollars! His hard work paid off! Holding the soda tin firmly, Reuben rushed for the shop to buy the brooch. The moment he got the beautiful brooch, he burst through the front door, and placed it in Dora’s hand. Never had Dora received such a gift. Speechless and happy, she held her son tightly in her arms, with tears welling up in her eyes.河南省实验中学2023——2024学年上期期中试卷

Perhaps now so more than ever, it's important to take time to appreciate the beauty of our natural world. In the US, all you have to do is turn to the national parks for inspiration.

A girl of 12 has raised more than 8,000 for a cancer charity by running three kilometers every day for a year in honour of her grandad. Emily Talman, of Birkenhead, Merseyside, was inspired by the Daily Mirror’s “Pride of Britain Awards” to take on the challenge. She started running on November 8 last year after Grandad Pete Talman recovered from prostate (前列腺) cancer.
Emily said she did it for all grandads. She added, “I remember watching the ‘Pride of Britain Awards’ last year, when my grandad was better, and I wanted to do something to help other families who are going through what we did.”
Pete, 69, was diagnosed with cancer in 2019. He had successful surgery to remove his prostate the following July. “My grandad always told me, ‘Never give up, never give in’ and that’s what I’ve told myself during my challenge. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to still have him in my life.”
Emily had to face all weather for her runs. But she said thinking about families who have lost loved ones to cancer kept her going. The determined schoolgirl, who has three sisters, added, “I always think about the people who can’t be with their grandad, dad, uncle, or brother because of prostate cancer.”
Liverpool fan Emily even made time on Christmas Day and her 12th birthday on August 15 for her runs. She plans to “have a little break from running” but hopes to complete 100 more days every year in the future to keep spreading awareness of prostate cancer.
Parents Ricky Talman and Stacey Williams told of their pride in her. Ricky said, “It was a tough challenge but she’s just been a warrior and everyone in the family is so proud of her.”
24. What does Emily run for
A. The family’s dream. B. A meaningful cause.
C. Her education funds. D. Her physical health.
25. What motivated Emily to do something for all grandads
A. A TV program. B. A prize awarded to her.
C. Her terrible disease. D. Her grandad’s words.
26. What is Emily’s plan for the future
A. To commit to spreading awareness of running.
B. To get down to promoting her academic performance.
C. To run about 1/3 year for cancer charity.
D To take on a tougher challenge to prove herself.
27. Which of the following can best describe Emily
A. Lovely and innocent. B. Proud and humorous.
C. Considerate and talkative. D. Caring and determined.
C
You know the feeling. You finish a full meal and arc like “I’m never eating again.” But then, out comes a beautiful piece of cake. And, you said you were full, but not for dessert! It turns out you really can “make room” for dessert.
And there’s a scientific reason why. The thing that gives you room for dessert is called “Sensory—Specific Satiety”. That’s what Dr. Rolls, a nutritional scientist, has been studying since the 1980s. Here is how her experiment went. She gave six people a giant plate of spaghetti and told them to eat until they were full. And then, for the second course, she gave them more. Then, she gave them ice cream. On average, after they said they were full on spaghetti, each person could eat just one more ounce of it in their second serving. But when she gave them ice cream, somehow they could eat three times as much. They “made room” for dessert.
The experiment shows that when you feel full, it’s not necessarily that your stomach is physically full. It’s more about how interested you are in—eating more. Sensory—specific satiety is the change in how much you like a food, how much you want to eat, as you’re eating it. “I’ve just had enough of the food; I want something else” is really what sensory—specific satiety is.
And that natural ability has a purpose: it’s meant to keep us healthy. It’s going to help to guarantee that we’re going to get the variety of nutrients that we need. However, it can backfire of course, because if we are presented with a variety of foods, it makes us extra likely to overeat.
28. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To lead to the main topic. B. To make a comparison.
C. To amuse the readers. D. To summarize the main idea.
29. According to Dr. Rolls, why did the people “make room” for ice cream
A. Because they had a wrong feeling.
B. Because there was a change in food variety.
C. Because they lied about feeling full.
D. Because the ice cream was more delicious.
30. What does the underlined word “backfire” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Consume much energy. B. Discourage people from eating.
C. Have the opposite result. D. Produce a helpful effect.
31. In which section of a newspaper may the text appear
A. Entertainment. B. Education. C. Culture. D. Health.
D
The number of fish caught just outside a recently expanded marine protected area in Hawaii has risen. It is a sign that quadrupling (四倍) the size of the reserve in 2016 may have restored fish populations in the region.
When the Marine National Monument around Hawaii was enlarged to 1,510,000 square kilometers, marine conservationists around the world rejoiced.
Fishers may have felt differently, however, as fishing inside the area is not allowed. Yet by creating a space for dwindling(减少) tuna populations to recover, supporters argued, the reserve would benefit fisheries as well.
As populations inside the reserve boundaries steadily increased, they predicted, the fish would spill(溢出) over into the surrounding areas, increasing the amount of tuna available to catch.
Proving that is tricky, however, as tuna can’t be counted directly. Their numbers may rise or fall for a variety of reasons other than the expansion of a reserve. But the new study, published in Science this week, strongly suggests the number of fish caught just outside the MPA is higher now than it used to be.
Alan Friedlander, chief scientist for the National Geographic Society’s Pristine Seas project, calls the study a “very careful and strict test of spillover from marine protected areas.”
Importantly, says John Lynham, an environmental economist at the University of Hawaii and one of the study’s authors, the increase in tuna catches near the reserve held up even when looking at the average numbers caught by particular fishers. This shows the effect is not due to more effective crews now fishing local waters, he explains. To account for effort, catch numbers were divided by the ever-increasing number of fishing hooks in the area.
Lynham and colleagues found the catch per hook increased over the 10 years of the study. Fishers were catching on average six more yellowfin and five more bigeye tuna per year after the expansion than before.
“That last one, especially, was a surprise,” says Lynham, “because it is economically much more important, and there were fewer indications of an increase.”
32. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The rising number of fish caught is a sign of a well-reserved area.
B. Enlarge the size of reserve may contribute to the increasing of fish population.
C. The number of fish caught has risen to quadrupling the size of that in 2016.
D. Fish catching outside the reserve does good to the expanded marine protected area.
33. How did fishers feel when the reserve announced expanded
A. They felt joyful. B. They felt indifferent.
C. They felt unpleasant. D. They felt excited.
34. How do the researchers prove the tuna population has increased
A. By figuring the average catch per hook in the area.
B. By summing up the catch of mare effective crews.
C. By looking at the numbers caught by particular fishers.
D. By detecting the number of tuna population in the surrounding area.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Tuna population embraces a boost B. Marine Protected Areas Help Fisheries
C. Local fisheries hold a promising future D. Tuna population can be counted scientifically

China is still at risk of seeing domestic malaria(疟疾) outbreaks 56 (cause) by imported cases, a health expert said on Friday.
The World Health Organization declared China malaria-free in June of last year and praised it as a remarkable 57 (achieve), said Zhou Xiaonong, director of the National Institute of Parasitic Diseases at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. 58 , he said China still reported around 3,000 imported infections annually before the COVID-19 pandemic emerged in late 2019．
In 2020, there 59 (be) estimated 241 million malaria cases in 85 malaria-endemic countries across the globe, up by 6 percent from 2019．Malaria 60 (death) also increased by 12 percent during the same period in 2020, according to data from the WHO.
“China is having frequent communication 61 African and Southeastern Asian countries and seeing 62 increasing number of cross-border travelers, meaning that the risk of detecting imported malaria cases remain,” he said.
In addition, breeding habitats for major malaria-vectors（疟疾媒介), especially mosquitoes, have not been eliminated in China. Zhou said that mosquitoes cannot be wiped out with available technologies 63 that their existence could increase the risk of malaria spreading widely.
To resolve the potential hazards, he said that China has released new rules 64 (prevent) imported malaria cases from sparking domestic transmission of the disease, 65 (highlight) early precaution and emergency response for imported cases.

A Beautiful Brooch
In 1945, a 12-year-old boy saw a beautiful brooch (胸针) in a shop window that set his heart racing. But the price five dollars was too high for Reuben Earle. Five dollars would buy almost a week’s food for his family.
Reuben couldn’t ask his father for the money. Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother, Dora. Slim and beautiful, she was the center of the home and the glue that held it together. The housework was never-ending, and she struggled to feed and clothe their five children, but she was happy as her family and their well-being were all she cared about.
Nevertheless, he opened the shop’s door and went inside. Standing proudly and straight in his flour-sack(面粉袋改做的) shirt and washed-out trousers, he told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding, “But I don’t have the money right now. Can you please hold it for me for some time ”
“I’ll try,” the shopkeeper smiled. “People around here don’t usually have that kind of money to spend on things. It should keep for a while.”
Reuben respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out. He would raise the money and not tell anybody, for he thought Mum would get surprised when she saw that brooch. On hearing the sound of hammering (捶打) from a side street, Reuben suddenly had an idea that he could raise money by selling the used nail bags. People built their own homes in Bay Roberts, using nails bought in bags from a local factory. Sometimes the used bags were thrown away at the construction site, and Reuben knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents a piece. That day he sold two nail bags and hid the money in a rusty soda tin.
