Every day as the sun rises, Ma Hongyi, a 66-year-old farmer, can be seen patrolling (巡逻) Yuncheng Salt Lake with his dog in Yuncheng city, North China’s Shanxi province.
Ma still remembers the day when he first saw two big pink birds wandering through the water. “I had never seen such pretty birds. They were even taller than me, with long wings,” Ma recalls. He was later informed that those birds were flamingos, a rare sight in China, which were listed on the International Union for Protection of Nature’s red list of endangered species in 2013. From that day on, Ma started his second career as a volunteer to prevent human beings from doing harm to the wildlife. “The birds are attracted by the good environment,” Ma says. “I will do my best to protect the lake so that birds can come here every year.”
Yuncheng Salt Lake covers an area of 132 square kilometers and used to serve as a salt production base. As the country began attaching greater importance to environmental protection, an ecological (生态的) protection and development center was set up in 2012 to carry out regular ecological protection and restoration of the lake. “The greatest value of the Salt Lake lies in its ecology, which should be properly protected,” says Chu Xianghao, head of the city. The lake area hosts 292 types of wild animals, along with 782 plant varieties, some of which are newly recorded species in the country.
After patrolling the lake as a volunteer for over four years, Ma was employed by the local government to help with wildlife protection in 2019. “The lake’s ecology is getting better,” Ma says, adding that he looks forward to the arrival of the flamingos every year. “Some of them are my old friends,” he says.
24. What event makes Mr Ma to start his second career
A. Seeing a rare scenery in his field.
B. Finding a list of endangered species.
C. Coming across a certain bird unexpectedly.
D. Knowing the way to increas the number of species.

Thousands of runners did up their running shoes and poured out from the starting line while crowds cheered along the course. Marathons in China are picking up the pace again.
According to the Chinese Athletics Association, a total of 133 marathons across the country have been registered for the first six months of the year. On March 26, more than 300,000 runners took part in 26 marathon events nationwide, reported China Daily.
Teenagers have also taken part in marathons. Xu Qian, a 15-year-old teenager from Suqian, Jiangsu, loves running. He got first place in the 5-kilometer Happy Run of the Jingdong Suqian Marathon held on April 2.
For Xu, the race meant months of training and preparation. He ran about 30 to 40 kilometers in local stadiums each week ahead of the run. “Compared with the 800-meter run at school which is more about speed, a marathon tests a runner’s endurance (耐力) and psychological quality,” he told Teens. When he felt tired during the race, he told himself not to give up. “In long-distance running, the only opponent you have to beat is yourself,” Xu added.
Apart from one’s willpower, kindness from the audience also plays a big part in helping runners get to the finishing line. Li Zhouzi from Shanxi took part in a 3-kilometer Kid Run of the Berlin Marathon in Germany in 2019 when she was 10. The support from the people cheering along the course really encouraged her.
“When things were hard, people from across the world cheered me on. Even if it was just the words ‘keep it up’, it meant a lot to me and I was inspired to keep going to the end,” Li told Teens.
She believes that running a marathon is about staying focused on the final goal, not the suffering along the way. “Likewise, our life is also a marathon,” Li said.
28. How is marathon in China according to the text
A. Strange. B. Outdated. C. Popular. D. Indifferent.
29. What do Xu Qian’s words mean
A. Runners’ psychological quality determines their speed.
B. Marathon has positive influence on his body and mind.
C. Speed is the only way to beat opponents during the race.
D. Unlike long-distance running, the 800-meter run tests runners’ endurance.
30. How did Li Zhouzi feel about the support from the audience
A. It gave her confidence in life.
B. It didn’t make a big difference.
C. It made her depressed.
D. It gave her strength to race to the end.
31. What do Xu Qian and Li Zhouzi have in common
A. Their life goals.
B. Their competition age group.
C. Their way of being encouraged.
D. Their character of being fearless of difficulties.

More than a third of the world’s population lives in dry lands and areas that experience significant water shortages. Engineers and scientists at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a unique solution to help people in these areas access clean drinking water.
They developed a low-cost gel film (凝胶膜) that can pull water from the air in even the driest bining two simple ingredients (成分), cellulose and konjac gum, the gel is inexpensive to produce. Just one kilogram of gel can absorb up to six liters of water in a dry climate. For those living in a climate with relative humidity (潮湿) one kilogram of gel can collect up to 13 liters of water a day. As the gel is so inexpensive and easy to make, it may offer a way of providing drinking water for people in countries with water shortages.
Previously, researchers have harvested fresh water from fog (雾) and dew (露水), but that only serves areas with high humidity. Other attempts at pulling water from desert air are typically energy-intensive and do not produce much. In fact, this gel is a vast improvement from previous water harvesting technologies. The maximum water harvested has been 5.87 liters in places with relative humidity. This new gel doubles this amount, uses no energy and is simple to operate and it can be shaped into a shape or size that best suits the user.
“This new work is about practical solutions that people can use to get water in the hottest, driest places on Earth,” said Guihua Yu, professor at the Cockrell School of Engineering. “This could allow millions of people without consistent access to drinking water to have simple water generating devices at home that they can easily operate.”
“This is not something you need an advanced degree to use,” the paper’s lead author, Youhong Guo said. “It’s straightforward enough that anyone can make it at home if they have the materials.” Scientists are planning on making a thicker gel that will increase the output, making this technology a practicable solution to drought.
32. What do we know about the gel film from Paragraph 2
A. It can increase the humidity of the air.
B. It can harvest drinking water from the air.
C. It has been widely applied in desert areas.
D. It costs lots of money and energy to produce.
33. Why does the author mention previous water harvesting methods in Paragraph 3
A. To prove the advantages of the new gel.
B. To show the tough living conditions in dry regions.
C. To state the process of manufacturing the new gel.
D. To present the theory of water harvesting technologies.
34. What is Guihua Yu’s attitude towards the new water harvesting method
A. Indifferent. B. Skeptical. C. Disapproving. D. Hopeful.
35. What will scientists plan to do next
A. Develop a more powerful gel.
B. Produce the gel on a large scale.
C. Raise money for further research.
D. Teach people to make the gel at home.

How to Prepare for a Test
In your school, tests may be an important part of your regular classroom work. 36 If taking a test worries you, the good news is that there are many easy ways for you to prepare before it. Here’s how to get started:
Make a plan
37 This might mean committing to studying for 30 minutes for a few afternoons the week before the test. Or maybe you have more time on the weekends and want to plan extra study time then. Whatever you decide, circle out the time on your calendar so you remember.
Be organized
Studying for a test will be easier if you organize your notes and handouts ahead of time for each of your classes. 38 Consider using a separate folder (文件夹) for each subject. You can keep them at home, at school and in your backpack.
Focus on the right material
If you have learned a lot of materials, first ask your teacher what information will be on the test. Use the study guide handed out by your teacher to help you figure out what you need to focus on most. 39 You may go through your notes and write key concepts on a flash card to test yourself. If there is something that confuses you, mark it and ask your teacher later.
Use smart strategies
As the day of the test approaches, be sure to get plenty of sleep the night before. When you sit down to take the exam, spend a few minutes to go through the entire test. You can start by answering the first question. 40 Finally, if you finish the test before the exam ends, go back and review all your answers to check for any mistakes. You’ve got this!
A. The correct answer may come to you later.
B. Next, decide how you want to review the materials.
C. They are used to ensure students’ command of the materials studied.
D. You don’t want to lose focus during the test due to lack of sleep.
E. Once you have a test date, schedule your study time appropriately.
F. However, working on easier questions in a later section is a good choice.

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。
Last April, Jake drove to visit his mother who lived in the countryside. When he went back home, Jake’s mother looked at the dark sky and noticed the sign of a coming storm. Worried about her son’s safety, she told him to drive as carefully as possible on his way home and he promised to give her a call upon his arrival.
With his mother’s words in mind, Jake approached the main road carefully. Soon, it started to rain heavily. Eager to get home, Jake began to drive faster. Two hours later, he came to a rough mountain road that had been flooded by a creek (小溪) Jake, driving a four-wheel truck, figured that he would be OK. At that moment, he didn’t realize that such a thought would be a big mistake.
It was halfway across the creek when an unfortunate incident took place: the rushing water grabbed hold of his vehicle, pushing it off the road and sending it down a rocky creek bed. The truck finally stopped some 80 feet away. Jake’s problems only grew from there as the water had somehow positioned the truck into the creek bank at a 45-degree angle, making it difficult for him to open the driver’s side door. Injured and trapped inside with the muddy water rising quickly, Jake was certain he was going to die. Shaking with fear, he was at a loss about what to do.
On the road right behind Jake were a delivery worker named Paul and his friend Tom, who were on the way to deliver furniture to customers in the countryside. They witnessed the horrible incident, and when Jake’s truck came to rest in the middle of the overflowing creek, Paul quickly began to take action. First, he grabbed a rope from the back of his vehicle and used it to ensure he could safely approach the truck.
注意：
1. 所续词数应为150左右；

40. F 根据本段标题“Use smart strategies”可知，本段主要介绍了在考试中要有策略，上文“You can start by answering the first question.”和下方“Finally, if you finish the test before the exam ends, go back and review all your answers to check for any mistakes.”具体介绍了考试中的策略，空处也应是介绍考试中的策略，F项“然而，处理后面一些简单的问题是一个不错的选择”符合题意。
41. C 根据最后一段中作者询问“Is that your mom ”可知，在开始时作者“猜测”她们是母女关系。
42. D 根据下文“checking her watch every few seconds”可知，女儿每隔几秒钟就看一下手表，对母亲表现出严重的不耐烦。
43. B 根据后文“the DVDs on the nearest shelf”可知，此处是说开始浏览架子上的DVD。
44. C 结合语境可知，作者略微犹豫了一下，然后走上前去询问老人是否需要帮助。
45. B 根据下文“We found the movie”可知，找它的人是不怎么懂电影的。
46. A 根据下文“I asked her to walk with me so I could show her where she could find it”可知，作者设有急着代老太太去找DVD，locate与find意思相同。
47. D 根据“me of my own mother”可知，此处指“她小心翼翼的举止让我想起了我的母亲”，remind sb of...使某人想起……，固定短语。
48. C 根据“for the unrushed company and casual conversation”及语境可知，作者的耐心陪伴，轻松随意的闲聊，和“女儿”的不耐烦形成对比，由此可知老太太似乎很感激。
49. B 根据上文“The woman seemed ________ for the unrushed company...”中的company一词可知，找到电影后，作者陪同老太太去收银台结账，然后向那位女儿走去，walk sb. to sp.陪同某人去某地。
50. A 根据上文“who was still tapping her foot”和“She rolled her eyes”以及下文的“half sigh and half complaint”可知，老太太的女儿回答时是很不耐烦的，甚至是有些恼怒的。
51. C 根据下文可知，作者是要建议这位女儿珍惜自己的母亲，问她是否介意听作者的建议，“Mind some advice ”为口语，相当于“Do you mind if I give you some advice ”，英语中回答时，表示同意，一般用“Sure”，不同意，一般用“Sorry”。
52. A 结合下文作者所说的话“When she’s gone, it’s the little ________ that’ll come back to you. Moments like this.”可知，作者只是在给出忠告，而非责备，作者说话时微笑着，以此来表明自己不是在批评她。
53. A 结合语境可知，作者作为一个陌生人，要给她忠告，由此可推知她会有好奇的表情。
54. B 文章主要强调的是陪伴和理解的重要性，要懂得珍惜你身边所爱的人，根据空后的“Moments like this.”可知，此处用moments。
55. D 根据文章内容可知，这位女儿对母亲的态度发生了改变，从不耐烦转变为“affection”和“gently”，但这种温情是这位女儿明显还没有习惯的。

One possible version:
Nowadays, we live in a society where being thin is seen as being beautiful. In order to keep a slim figure, many teenagers skip meals on a regular basis. I feel deeply worried about this phenomenon.
In my opinion, skipping meals is harmful to our physical and mental health. If we can’t take in enough nutrition, we will feel weak and get ill easily. What’s worse, we may have trouble concentrating and it will have a negative influence on our study. On the other hand, beauty comes from within. With confidence and a positive attitude towards life, we are the most beautiful in the world, regardless of our body shape.
Hopefully, we teenagers can keep a balanced diet and live healthily.

He didn’t give up easily: instead, he balanced himself, leaned back and threw the rock at the window again with all his strength. Fortunately, this time he made it — the glass broke. To his relief, it didn’t hurt Jake, who reached out for Paul’s hand and was rescued. Without delay, the two men escaped and returned to safety.
Jake was about to thank Paul and Tom when the mobile phone in his pocket rang. With trembling hands, Jake took out the phone and answered it. “Are you home yet Everything’s good ” His mother’s anxious voice came over. Tears welled up in his eyes on hearing the familiar voice of concern. Jake choked up as he explained what had happened. Hanging up the phone, he thanked Paul and Tom sincerely. Cold as the rain was, great warmth filled his heart like never before.
