But after forty days without a fish, the boy’s parents told him that the old man was unlucky. The boy then was asked to work on another boat.
After the boy left, the old man went fishing alone. One day the old man caught a huge marlin. He was greatly tested. Unluckily, the marlin’s blood attracted a lot of sharks. The old man was weak but fought against the sharks hard. Finally, he went back with a huge fish skeleton (骨架). Although the old man didn’t bring back the fish, he won.

“Take a book and give a book.” That’s the idea behind the Little Free Library. Then what is a Little Free Library
Unlike traditional libraries, it is not a building to borrow books from a librarian. Little Free Libraries come in many shapes and sizes, but the most common one is a small box of books. When you find one, you can take a book home with you. If you have a book to share, you can leave it for someone else to read.
Little Free Libraries are everywhere: outside homes, inside shopping centers, or beside coffee shops. The first Little Free Library was built by Todd Bol in front of his house in Wisconsin, USA in 2009. It had free books that everyone could enjoy. It became popular.
Three years after building his library, Bol and his friend Rick Brooks started Little Free Library, a non-profit organization (非营利组织). Soon Little Free Libraries became more popular all over the world. Now there are more than 80,000 Little Free Libraries in more than 90 countries.
Umayr Ansari, a 10-year-old boy from Doha, Qatar, put a Little Free Library outside his home. He said, “There aren’t many libraries in my neighborhood. I have a lot of books, and I want to share them, so people who don’t have their own books can have a chance to read.”
Why not build your own Little Free Library and share the fun of reading
9．What is the difference between a Little Free Library and a traditional library
A．You can buy books from a Little Free Library. B．You can borrow books from a Little Free Library.
C．You can leave your books for others to read. D．You need to give back the books you borrowed.

A．In 2019. B．In 2012. C．In 2015. D．In 2022.

Kaali’s BLOG
Hello, I’m Kaali, an 18-year-old French girl. This is my blog! I love travelling. So, this blog is about my experiences around the world.
The first place I visited was London. I saw a lot of things there. It was good because I learned a lot of English.
So far, I’ve been to many places, including 12 European countries, and two in Africa. One of my best experiences is meeting the locals (当地人). I don’t just go sightseeing (观光), or visit restaurants. I understand much more from spending time with people than looking at an old building, or having a meal.
So, showing off about how many places I’ve been to shouldn’t be the reason why I write about my travel experiences. It is said that travel broadens the mind, and I like to focus on (专注于) how travelling improves my understanding of the world. I’m getting used to the idea that although we’re different, people around the world actually have a lot in common with each other. I’ll visit a lot of places over the next few years. I’m sure, and hopefully, I should have built up a large number of articles. If you like my articles, please check my blog every week for something new!
13．What made Kaali happy during travelling in the UK
A．Learning English. B．Meeting the locals. C．Going sightseeing. D．Having a big meal.
14．How many countries has Kaali travelled
A．10. B．12. C．14. D．16.
15．What does Kaali think is the best experience for travel
A．Meeting the locals. B．Having different meals.
C．Visiting more old buildings. D．Taking many photos.
16．The underlined word “broadens” is the closest in meaning to “________”.
A．builds up B．opens up C．checks up D．takes up

阅读短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给词的正确形式填空，使短文通顺、连贯。
Last month, we asked students at No.5 High School about their free time 31 (activity). One of these questions is about surfing the Internet. 32 we all know, many students often go online. The answers to this question are 33 (surprise). Ninety percent of the students use the Internet every day. The other ten percent use it at 34 (little) three or four times a week. Most students use it for fun not for homework. It’s good to relax 35 using the Internet, but I think the 36 (good) way to relax is through exercise. It’s 37 (health) for the mind and the body. Exercise such as 38 (play) sports is fun, and you can spend time 39 your family and friends as you play together. And remember, “Old habits die hard.” So start 40 (exercise) before it’s too late.
四、阅读与表达（共4小题，41-43小题，每小题2分，44小题4分；满分10分）
阅读短文，然后根据内容回答问题。
Dr. Seuss once wrote, “You can find magic wherever you look. Sit back and relax, all you need is a book!” Back then, he meant a book printed on paper, but today that’s not the only way to read books. People can also choose to read an e-book. Which is better
If you like to take a book when you go out, you can’t beat the convenience of an e-book. You can download (下载) thousands of e-books into a mobile phone or an iPad. That’s easy to carry. And with e-books, you won’t worry about shelf space in your home. E-books are also better for the environment. They reduce paper use and printing costs.
Actually, it is shown that only 30% of American readers choose e-books. I think that there’s nothing better than the feeling of a real book, from the weight of it in your hand to the satisfaction (满意) of turning each page. It’s all part of the experience of reading. And not every book is shown well in e-book form, like graphic (图形的) novels. Besides, a printed book doesn’t have to be connected to the Internet to be enjoyed.
41．What kind of books did Dr. Seuss write about
42．How many American readers choose to read paper books
43．What should you do when you want to read graphic novels
44．Which kind of books do you prefer, e-books or paper books Why Answer the question at most 30 words.
五、书面表达（满分20分）
45．在我们成长的过程中，总会遇到很多问题，可能是学习方面的，也可能是生活方面的，或者是朋友交往方面的……假如你是Steve，请用英语给校刊的编辑Lucy写一封信，诉说你在学习或生活中遇到的困难并寻求帮助。
内容提示：
1. What’s your problem
2. What happened to you

要求：1. 句子通顺、语意连贯、语法正确；
