Fly like superman!
Have you ever imagined how it feels when fresh air is in your face Or to see the beauty of nature from the top You can do it in a hot air balloon ride.
Hot air ballooning is the activity of flying in a basket hanging over a hot air balloon. Attractive parts of ballooning include the unusual quiet, the lack of a feeling of movement, and the bird’s-eye view. Since the balloon moves with the direction of the winds, the passengers feel absolutely no wind, except for brief periods during the flight when the balloon climbs or falls into air currents of different directions or speeds. Hot air ballooning has been recognized by the World Aeronautical Federation(WAF)as the safest air sport, and accidents seldom happen. However, you must follow some rules such as:
* You have to respect the limit of passengers allowed in the ride. A catlán has drawn new attention to the danger of ballooning. Four years ago, 11 people were injured and 2 were killed when their hot air balloon basket struck in line and caught fire.
*The pilot must check the weather and select a suitable take-off point. The current and forecast weather must have good visibility for the pilot to see, and slow winds to allow take-off and landing.
* Children aged under twelve have to be with their parents all the tour.
* Pilots must not carry passengers who have participated in scuba dive (蛙潜) the day before.
There are many regular (定期) gatherings of balloons and balloonists in Hidalgo around the year, which provide both a place for balloonists to interact as well as a place for visitors to entertain. You must try this activity at least once in a lifetime.
21．What is an attraction of hot air ballooning
A．Hearing the sound of the wind. B．Enjoying a breathtaking view.
C．Experiencing different weather. D．Having a feeling of movement.
22．What can we learn from the rules of hot air ballooning

B．It allows take-off or landing in strong winds.
C．A person aged 12 and older can ride alone.

Bertha von Suttner received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1905 — she was the first woman to receive it, and also the inspiration for the creation of the Nobel Prize.
She met Alfred Nobel, a rich millionaire, by answering his newspaper ad for a secretary. Although she only worked for him for a few weeks, she remained good friends with Alfred Nobel for the next 20 years. When she became involved in the peace movement in Europe, she promised to keep Nobel informed of its progress. When Alfred Nobel died in 1896, his will included the establishment of a peace prize, thanks to Bertha von Suttner’s influence.
Bertha von Suttner was born in a military family, but she spent the second half of her life working for peace. She wrote books, attended peace conferences, gave lectures and helped organize peace societies in Austria, Germany and Hungary, as well as the International Peace Bureau in Switzerland. Her novel, Lay Down Your Arms, was one of the most influential anti war books of all time, and helped to make her a leader of the peace movement in Europe. Its end to war theme was both the ambition and the most important goal in the life of this great woman.
Bertha von Suttner worked so hard for peace because she believed that a terrible war would break out in Europe if nations didn’t work hard to establish lasting peace institutions. She made many major achievements for a more peaceful world, but two months after she died, World War I broke out. A hundred years after she won the Nobel Peace Prize, nations still seem to view war as a choice to work out their problems. But like Bertha von Suttner did, many today are working hard around the world to help strengthen peace institutions and spread the idea that it’s time to put an end to war.
24．Bertha von Suttner_________.
A．worked for Alfred Nobel for 20 years
B．helped Alfred Nobel draw up his will
C．persuaded Alfred Nobel to join the peace movement
D．inspired Alfred Nobel to establish the Nobel Peace Prize
25．Paragraph 3 is mainly about Bertha von Suttner’s __________．
A．efforts and contributions to the peace movement B．family background and work experiences
C．writing career and life experiences D．ambition and goals in life
26．What do we know about Lay Down Your Arms
A．It was based on a true story. B．It recorded Bertha von Suttner’s daily life.
C．It was about a military family. D．It showed Bertha von Suttner’s wish for peace.
27．What can we infer from the last Paragraph
A．Bertha von Suttner’s fight for peace is still shared by many.
B．Bertha von Suttner failed to found peace institutions.
C．Bertha von Suttner successfully predicted a war.
D．Bertha von Suttner lost her life in World War I.

Globalization means that people, ideas, technology, money, services and many other things are moving between countries and changing the way people think and act.
Not everyone thinks the same way about globalization. Some people think it is bad，and some people think it is good. Some believe that globalization helps rich people get richer and makes poor people poorer. These people say that globalization helps big companies like Coca-Cola and McDonald’s destroy local businesses. However, the people who think globalization is a good thing argue that globalization helps poorer people to become richer. They also think that it doesn’t destroy local cultures. These people also believe globalization helps prevent wars. This is because countries with economic connections will try hard to keep good relationships so that their economies aren’t destroyed.
Whether you think globalization is good or bad, it affects the world in two areas: jobs and cultures.
Globalization has had a very strong influence on jobs all over the world. For some workers, such as engineers, lawyers and bankers, globalization has been a good development. These workers are able to successfully compete globally and have seen an increase in their pay. But for those who work in factories or in the service industry (at hotels, shops and restaurants), it has not been good. Workers from poorer countries are trying to get these types of jobs. They will do the same job for less money. This decreases the pay for that job, so people get paid less to do it.
Cultures have also been affected by globalization. Foods such as Japanese noodles, Indian curry and French cheeses have spread around the world. We can also see an increase in the use of Chinese characters in tattoos (纹身). Some people get these tattoos but they don’t really know what the characters mean. Globalization also affects the film industry. Most people have seen American movies. But because of globalization, Korean, Indian and Japanese movies have become more worldwide.
No one knows the future of globalization. Most experts agree that it will continue to grow and have an increasingly greater influence on people’s life in the future.
28．Some people think globalization is good because it may __________.
A．change local cultures B．help local businesses develop
C．help stop wars among countries D．make rich people become richer
29．According to Paragraph 4, we know __________.
A．engineers will get a lower pay
B．globalization greatly affects people’s jobs
C．workers from rich countries get paid less
D．people can get favorite jobs more easily
30．Globalization helps people in the world to __________.
A．enjoy foods from different countries B．go to different countries for movies
C．own the same culture in the end D．know Chinese characters very well
31．What can we infer from the passage
A．Globalization is sure to do good to people.
B．Globalization may change people’s life in the future.
C．Globalization will be limited in the future.
D．Globalization will be loved throughout the world.

Fashion designers have a big say in what’s considered beautiful. They pick who’s in their shows and ads, shaping what’s celebrated as beauty. But this power also means responsibility — it can be used to leave people out or lift them up.
When I was young, fashion was my world. I pored over various fashion magazines at my local bookstore, desiring to be tall, thin, and have long, shiny hair to fit the ideal. I wanted to be like those models, so I stopped eating. It was a tough time; my eating disorder consumed me. It took years to break free from its control, allowing me to focus on my true passions.
For so long, the fashion industry has worked hard to set an ideal of beauty that celebrates thin, young, white, and able-bodied models as the ideal. It’s impossible not to be exposed to images of models that have been photoshopped to where there’s not a single spot in sight. This idea is everywhere, and it hurts people. Shockingly, around 91% of women are unhappy with their appearance. It’s sad that teens grow up in a society where they deny themselves.
There’s progress — models and musicians promote body positivity. However, the pressure to meet unrealistic standards remains. Changing these standards involves bravely celebrating diverse beauty. True inclusivity goes beyond appearances. It requires diverse decision-makers, photographers, and casting directors cooperating. Young designers often overlook this crucial aspect. Hiring plus-size or transgender photographers, diverse casting directors, or makeup artists who understand the importance of accommodating to various skin tones, is vital for an overall approach.
We aimed to redefine the “bikini body” standards. However, the goal isn’t for the consumer’s body to change but for clothes to accommodate all sizes. We need more fashion for everyone, no matter their size or where they shop. It’s our responsibility as designers to challenge this narrow beauty definition. My hope is for future teens to escape the pressures I faced, developing a fashion industry celebrating diverse identities.
32．What does the underlined phrase “pored over” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Classified carefully. B．Read attentively.
C．Compared thoroughly. D．Recommended sincerely.
33．What is the impact of the initial beauty ideals set by the fashion industry
A．Causing self-denial. B．Generating individuality.
C．Focusing on true passions. D．Contributing to self-confidence.
34．What can be inferred about true inclusivity
A．It encourages personal effort. B．It satisfies traditional standards.
C．It focuses on physical appearances. D．It calls for diversity and cooperation.
35．Which of the following will the author probably agree with
A．Customers will change their body shapes.
B．Future teens will redefine fashion standards.
C．Fashion should celebrate everyone’s uniqueness.
D．“Bikini body” standards should be strengthened.

Some people think working overtime means you’re a hard worker. You have to sacrifice your personal time to stay at work, produce something, help the company, and be a more devoted employee. But is that right 36 This means it takes you longer to produce something than someone else.
A good manager knows how to encourage his employees to work to their full potential instead of expecting them to work late even if they don’t have something to do. People who stay in their office until late hate their jobs. 37
Overworking may negatively influence the level of productivity and efficiency. Any company that makes their employees work those hours is not being managed well. 38 And the boss would prefer you work efficiently 7 hours and then go back home than 10 hours with poor efficiency.
39 The fact is the competition is so fierce that if you don’t work hard someone will easily and willingly replace you, especially in the IT industry. Employees are told they need to work longer hours or they don’t belong or are denied promotions. It is time to abandon the culture of overworking, to work smarter, more efficiently and have a balance with personal life.
Nowadays, it’s hard for a young person to build a good future, for pressures are on his (or her) shoulders: housing, children, parents, themselves, etc. But everyone must keep working hard to have ourselves on the way to the good future, which is not certain. 40
A．No one wants to work overtime.
B．The boss thinks highly of overworking.
C．Working too many hours only means you are inefficient.
D．For it affects their performance, as well as other aspects of their life.
E．What’s sure is that if you’re lazy and don’t work hard, no good future will come.
F．Managers believe that overworking is an evidence of devotion from their employees’ side.
G．In many countries, overworking would be criticized because it reflects poor work efficiency.

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。
A lesson from my sister
My elder sister was different. She was socially awkward. She could not look at people in the eye. She would mumble (嘟哝) to herself and repeat the words she had just said. The child psychologist had termed it as “Asperger Syndrome”.
She, however, was academically capable. Therefore, we attended the same primary school. Despite this, I never, ever admitted in public that she was my sister. There was one incident, however, that changed how I viewed my sister. It was the incident that changed me.
Being in primary six, about to graduate, the school had made it a must for everyone to perform. Due to my sister’s inability to work together with others, she had to do it individually.
“I’ll sing,” my sister told my parents confidently. Hearing that, I was completely shocked. How could my sister, who was socially awkward, sing in front of the school I knew so well that if this happened, she would surely embarrass me.
Silently I prayed I would not have to watch my sister disgrace herself. It is fine. No one knows she is your sister. I remember telling myself these exact lines as I sat in the hall, waiting for the performances to start.
The lights dimmed and the curtains parted to reveal the only solo — my sister. It took about a whole minute for her to speak out her name and class and by that time, whispers were heard in the audience. “Why is she taking so long ” People around me asked. I sat nervously in my seat, wishing I were somewhere else.
注意：1. 所续写短文的总词数应为150左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。

35．推理判断题。根据最后一段“We need more fashion for everyone, no matter their size or where they shop.”（我们需要为每个人提供更多的时尚，无论他们的身材或他们在哪里购物。）和“My hope is for future teens to escape the pressures I faced, developing a fashion industry celebrating diverse identities.”（我希望未来的青少年能够摆脱我所面临的压力，发展一个崇尚多元化身份的时尚产业。）可知，作者有可能会赞同：时尚界应该崇尚个人的独特性。故选 C。

【阅读七选五导语】本文是篇议论文。文章主要分析了加班工作的弊端，表达了应该摈弃加班文化，提高工作效率，更好地平衡工作和个人生活。
36．根据前文“Some people think working overtime means you’re a hard worker.”（有些人认为加班意味着你工作很努力。）和“But is that right ”（但这对吗？）可知，文中针对一些人对加班的看法提出了质疑，选项C. Working too many hours only means you are inefficient.（工作时间过长只意味着你效率低下。）对此作出了解答，认为加班不是表明你工作努力，而是说明你工作效率低下；下一句“This means it takes you longer to produce something than someone else.”（这意味着你比别人花更长的时间来生产东西。）对选项C又作了进一步的解释，语意衔接合理。故选C。
37．根据上一句“People who stay in their office until late hate their jobs.”（在办公室待到很晚的人讨厌他们的工作。），选项D. For it affects their performance, as well as other aspects of their life.（因为它会影响他们的表现，以及他们生活的其他方面。）中“it”指代上一句所提到的在办公室待到很晚的这种情况，解释了这些人为什么会讨厌他们的工作，是上一句所述现象的原因，符合语意。故选D。
38．根据下一句“And the boss would prefer you work efficiently 7 hours and then go back home than 10 hours with poor efficiency.”（老板宁愿你高效率地工作7个小时然后回家，也不愿你效率低下地工作10个小时。），选项G. In many countries, overworking would be criticized because it reflects poor work efficiency.（在许多国家，加班工作会受到批评，因为这反映了工作效率低下。）先指出了在许多国家，加班会受到老板的批评，因为这表明工作效率低下，下一句具体说明了老板希望员工能够提高工作效率，而不是延长工作时间，这会降低工作效率，两句衔接合理，切合主题。故选G。
39．根据下文“The fact is the competition is so fierce that if you don’t work hard someone will easily and willingly replace you, especially in the IT industry. Employees are told they need to work longer hours or they don’t belong or are denied promotions.”（事实上，竞争是如此的激烈，如果你不努力工作，就会有人轻易地、心甘情愿地取代你，尤其是在IT行业，员工被告知他们需要工作更长时间，否则他们就不属于这里，或者被拒绝升职。），选项A. No one wants to work overtime.（没有人想加班。）与下文构成转折关系，没有人想要加班，但是现实却是职场竞争异常激烈，在一些公司，员工被要求加班，否则就会被解雇或无法升职，从而引出本段的主题“It is time to abandon the culture of overworking, to work smarter, more efficiently and have a balance with personal life.”（是时候抛弃加班工作的文化，更聪明、更高效地工作、平衡个人生活了。）故选项A符合语境。故选A。
40．根据上一句“But everyone must keep working hard to have ourselves on the way to the good future, which is not certain.”（但使自己在通往美好未来的道路上每个人都必须继续努力工作，因为未来的路是不确定的。），选项E. What’s sure is that if you’re lazy and don’t work hard, no good future will come.（可以肯定的是，如果你懒惰，不努力，就不会有美好的未来。）中“What’s sure”与上一句中的“not certain”形成了对比，未来的路是不确定的，但是保持努力却是确定的，想要有美好的未来，就必须继续努力，承接上文，语意合理。故选E。
41.B 42．A 43．D 44．C 45．A 46．D 47．D 48．A 49．C 50．B

书面表达
Dear Peter,
I’m writing to give you a quick update on the "War and Peace" writing contest organized by our school's English newspaper.
The purpose of the contest was to encourage students to reflect on the themes related to war and peace through their writing. I'm pleased to tell you that the students' performances were outstanding! Most of them showed remarkable enthusiasm and we received a wide range of insightful essays.
The activity not only helped us honour those who devoted their lives to world peace but also highlighted the importance of peace. I’m convinced that it will have a positive impact on our school life.
Looking forward to discussing more about it in our next class.
Yours
Li Hua
【读后续写导语】本文以人物为线索展开，这篇文章主要讲述了作者和姐姐之间的故事。姐姐有一种社交障碍，但在学术上很有能力。有一次在学校演出中，她独自唱歌，让作者震惊地发现她的歌声非常美妙。作者感到内疚和羞愧，意识到自己之前的误解。从那以后，作者决定无条件地爱她并公开承认她是自己的姐姐。
Paragraph 1
Finally my sister started to sing. Nervous and anxious, I was prepared for a disaster. After a deep breath, she finally opened her mouth, and I was shocked — she sang effortlessly and melodiously! What an amazing voice! The song rang naturally through the hall, beautiful in its power. I listened carefully to the lyrics she had composed all by herself and I found everyone in the hall was attracted by her remarkable performance. I realized at that time what a big mistake I had made. My sister could sing like an angel.
Paragraph 2
Guilt (内疚) and shame filled my heart as I listened to my sister’s wonderful singing. It was time for me to change my impression on my sister. She was socially awkward yet so gifted. How could I have doubted my sister’s abilities She taught me a lesson that I should not judge a person from just one’s appearance. Although she knew that I was embarrassed by her and was unwilling to attend her concert, she had never taken it to heart. It was then that I was determined to love her unconditionally and tell everybody that she was my sister.

W: Why was this rice and fish dish given to me
M: What do you mean I get the steak and potatoes. Do you want to change that with me
W: No, what I requested is a chicken salad sandwich.
Text 3
M: What do you think of the two houses we saw today
W: Well, I think the white one is prettier, with a colorful garden and an extra bedroom. But the red-brick one has a bigger yard, so I like it better.
Text 4
W: Do you go to work on foot every day
M: No, my physical condition doesn’t allow me to walk a lot. I usually take a bus. But sometimes when the bus is too crowded, I wish someone would give me a ride.
Text 5
W: It has been ages since we last met. Were you at Michael’s birthday party last August
M: No. I think the last time I saw you was last May, when we had dinner together at George’s new house.
W: No, no... Wait a minute. Surely, it was at Peter’s place when he got married.
M: Yeah, I remembered it. You’re right.
Text 6
W: As you can see, I’m a bit overweight. I want to drop some weight. Do you have any suggestions, please
M: Well, I don’t usually encourage my patients to go on a diet. If you want to lose weight, I suggest you pay more attention to what you eat. You can eat more natural foods instead of packaged foods.
W: OK. I’ll do that. Anything else
M: Stop spending a lot of time sitting and watching TV and try to exercise for at least fifteen minutes a day. These will benefit you a lot.
W: Well, I’m not a man into sports. But I will have a try. Thank you.

M: Yes. What we’re learning about is interesting. It’s about what inspired the nineteenth-century French painters, painting styles, that sort of thing.
W: I’ve been hoping to have chances to communicate with the professor. Luckily, there are only 10 students in class, so we all get a lot of one-on-one attention from the professor.
M: Yes, that also helps when it comes to group discussions and things like that. Oh, I’ve got to go.
W: To see Mike in the library
M: No. Actually I’m going to meet my cousin at ten past four.
W: Then you need to hurry up. There are only five minutes left.
M: Yeah. See you!

W: Dave, do you know John Adams

M: What has he done
W: Well, he has been supporting animal conservation for years.
M: How does he help wild animals
W: In 2017, he started the nonprofit WildLife Foundation with the aim of rescuing animals that need help and getting them out of danger. Till now, he has helped a lot of animals. He also shares his experiences online to let people know more about wildlife and and appeal to other teenagers to join him.

W: Hi, Tim. How is the new job at the supermarket
M: I thought I’d work as a cashier. That would be much more interesting. But I didn’t get the position. I complained to my boss about it but she got quite angry with me.
W: What did she say
M: She said I had a bad attitude and the reason she asked me to organize the shelves is that it’s the best way for me to learn where everything in the store is.
W: I’m afraid I agree with her. What she said is right and you have to prove yourself to your boss. You just started it two weeks ago. You’ll feel better in another one or two weeks.
M: So you’re taking her side.
W: I just don’t think you are reasonable. Every position counts. You should do what your boss asked you to do and show respect to both your boss and your work.
M: Maybe you’re right. What should I do to make things better
W: Why don’t you say sorry to your boss when you go to work on Saturday and make a new start I’m sure she’ll give you a second chance.

M: Thank you for inviting me to talk about my experiences of arrow shooting training. The training is generally held in a variety of places, depending on the weather. In winter, many people use a large gym. I was happy that mine was in the field they use in summer, though I supposed the woods would be the perfect setting. There was so much to learn. It was far harder than I’d imagined to stand in the right way, but grasped how to hold the bow correctly quickly. I was also taught to place the arrows in exactly the right position of the bow. There were some books that show us how to improve to look through. Some people took the opportunity to search online, but I preferred to talk with other members of the group, whose ideas sometimes were useful. I asked some people how they knew about the training. I’d imagined they had read about it on a website. But in fact, they saw it in the local newspaper and that was also how I learned about it. The training was advertised on local radio too, but none of us had heard about it that way. I hope you will consider taking arrow shooting up. It is a great leisure activity
