During my second year in high school, I got sick and missed a few days. When I 16 , I was greeted with two essays due, three days of math and history homework, plus several tests. 17 I went home from school that day tired, I had to stay up really late to finish them all.
The next day at school, I got a rude awakening: I’d totally forgotten to prepare for the 18 on Romeo and Juliet, which I’d take 19 my lunch hour! Worse still, I had 20 the in-class discussion and all the notes. When lunch came, I went to the English room to face my certain doom（厄运）. All I could do was try to 21 on the questions I didn’t know.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2.5分，满分50分）
A
There are top four places to visit in the Monterey Peninsula, California, where there are so many activities and beautiful lookout spots.
Pebble Beach
This scenic place offers many activities, hotels, and restaurants. At Pebble Beach, one can go fishing, swimming, diving, surfing, picnicking, boating, and on the nature trails there’s bicycling and hiking. It is a picture that is perfect with a white sand beach and beautiful view of the ocean.
Monterey Bay Aquarium
Regarded as the number one aquarium, Monterey Bay Aquarium has all kinds of interesting fish to see. Not only do they have strange fish but also other sea creatures too. They have very creative ways of displaying the fish; sharks are kept in a large glass looking tank. Admission（入场费）for adults is S34.95, children（13-17）$31.95, and children under 12 is S21.95．
The Butterfly Sanctuary
Every year in October, the Monarch butterfly migrates to Monterey County to stay for the winter. This is actually called overwintering, and at this sanctuary（庇护所）these large numbers of butterflies gather together on the tree branches to keep warm. There are tens of thousands of them flying up and down; it’d be a sight worth seeing.
Andrew Molera State Park
Being the largest state park in the area, Andrew Molera State Park offers many activities and natural views. The Big Sur, made famous by John Steinbeck’s novel, is within this park and is very beautiful. The park also offers camping, surfing, and hiking.
If you ever had the chance to go to Monterey County, California these are some of the places you’d like to see. Check them out for yourself at their websites below and see if they’ll be added to your travel wish list!

38．If you are interested in insects you probably go to ______.

39．What is made well known by a great writer

40．What can we learn from this passage

Brushing your teeth twice a day should keep the dentist away. But if a group of scientific researchers have their wish, it will make the rest of your body healthy too. A toothbrush that checks blood sugar and bacteria while you brush is currently in development in the USA．It is one of many gadgets（小器械）proposed by engineers and doctors at the Center for Future Health in New York.
The gadgets seem fanciful, but the basic principles are simple. The gadgets should make it easy for people to detect illness long before it strikes and so seek treatment far earlier than normal. Instead of relying on hi-tech hospitals, the emphasis（重点）is shifted to the home and easy-to-use gadgets. In the long run, the technology may even prevent illness by encouraging us to lead healthier lives.
Intelligent bandages are a good example. Powerful sensors within the bandage could quickly identify tiny amounts of bacteria in a wound and determine what medicine would work best. The cut could then be treated instantly.
The biggest development is melanoma（黑色素瘤）monitor designed to give early warnings of cancer. It could be used to take a picture of your body each week, and then compare it to previous images. If a problem is found, the system would advise you to get a check-up.
If all this sounds worrying, then help is at hand. Experts are also working on a “digital doctor”, complete with a comforting bedside manner. A standard computer would be able to understand your voice and answer questions about your symptoms in plain English and in a way which could calm your nerves.
Stress is no sweat either. A portable communication aid could recognize certain phrases and tones and let you know when you are about to lose your temper. The software would also suggest ways of keeping your cool.
Researchers are still struggling, however, with making the technology cheap and simple enough for the household user. That is going to be the difficult part.
41．The gadgets mentioned in Paragraph 2 ______.
A．are used only in hospitals
B．are too complicated to operate
C．help people recover from illness
D．can detect disease as soon as possible
42．A melanoma monitor can benefit ______.
A．those dealing with stress B．potential cancer patients
C．people suffering a wound D．people who’ve got toothache
43．The underlined part “keeping your cool” in Paragraph 6 can be replaced by “______”.
A．staying calm B．stopping sweating
C．keeping handsome D．expressing in words
44．It is difficult for scientists to ______.
A．persuade people to use the gadgets B．design inventions to prevent illness
C．collect enough money for their work D．make the gadgets affordable and handy
45．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．A Doctor in the House B．Hospitals in the Future
C．Tips for Brushing your Teeth D．The History of Medical Equipment
C
I was scared when a loud noise in my apartment woke me in the middle of the night. I rushed to turn on my bedroom light and discovered it was a cat. Here’s the thing—I do not have a cat. And this was not the first time this particular cat had demanded my attention. I immediately calmed down and realized my mistake —I had left a window open. I approached my house guest to entertain her by giving her some treats and scratches under her collar.
Just like many others, I shifted from working in an office to working from home. Living alone can be separate from outside at the best of times. It was around the one-month mark of the lockdown when I heard a meow outside my window. Sitting outside on the grass was a long-haired, golden-colored cat. I opened the window, and this beautiful cat jumped into my home. Her short visit lifted my spirits for the day.
A few days later, I heard a familiar meow. I saw a name tag on her collar: Mika. On this second visit, I also noticed Mika was cross-eyed, which only made her more lovely.
Over the next few weeks, Mika would drop by occasionally. Sometimes, she only stayed for a few minutes; other times, she would wander around my apartment much longer. Each visit cheered me up. Mika even served as my social bridge, helping me connect with some new neighbors, who, as it turns out, had also received visits from her.
While the lockdown has been awful, I doubt I might not have ever met Mika if it had not happened. But perhaps she came by at this time because she sensed a need for connection on my part.
While dogs are said to be man’s best friend, a good cat can be everyone’s best friend.
46．What do we know about the cat from the first paragraph
A．She entered by the window.
B．She used to go out at night.
C．She annoyed the neighbors badly.
D．She liked the author’s treats particularly.
47．How did the author probably feel at first during the lockdown
A．Moved. B．Cheerful. C．Lonely. D．Angry.
48．How did Mika help the author during the lockdown
A．By bringing food.
B．By serving as a social bridge.
C．By keeping the house clean.
D．By protecting him from dangers.
49．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5refer to
A．The open window. B．The lockdown.
C．A need for connection. D．A stay with new neighbors.
50．What’s the main idea of the passage
A．The author lives an unusual life. B．The author longs for a peaceful society.
C．Keeping cats is boring. D．Befriending nice cats is worthwhile.
D
To put it simply, stress can be the father of growth, while a crisis can be the mother of innovation. The notion that great good can emerge from great adversity（逆境）is as old as the legend of the great phoenix（凤凰）, who not only arises but soars to new heights from its own ashes.
In 1598, William Shakespeare penned the play As You Like It. One of the most famous lines from that play is spoken in Act 2 Scene 1 by Duke Senior, “Sweet are the uses of adversity which, like the toad（癞蛤蟆）, ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head.” Even 500 years ago, the potential value of adversity was recognized, not by a great healer, but by a great playwright. Can this really be the case
Fast-forward to the great silent film star Mary Pickford. She was called the most popular actress in the world in the 1910s and 1920s. Failing to continue acting with the advent of the “talkies”（movies with recorded sound）, she co-founded the film company United Artists. Shifting her talents to producing and directing, she became the most powerful woman in the entertainment industry. She once noted, “You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call ‘failure’ is not the falling down, but the staying down.”
Rather than fear and try to avoid adversity, perhaps we should accept the inevitability（必然）of adversity and prepare for it. Indeed, positive things can emerge from adversity.
Adversity reveals true opportunities for those preparing to take advantage. Dr. John Krumboltz’s happenstance theory states that career and life development is best fostered by preparing for opportunities that you may not know even exist in the current moment. Numerous unpredictable factors are potentially shaping the future. These include the crises adversity brings.
In Friedrich Nietzsche’s book, Behold the Man, the German philosopher writes that a person who has “turned out well” could be recognized by the ability to take advantage of and prosper from adversity, just as he wrote before, “What does not kill him makes him stronger.”
So, the next time adversity enters your life, will you run from it, or will you embrace it and use it as a step ping stone to greater happiness and success
51．Why does the author quote the line from Shakespeare’s play
A．To emphasize the great wisdom of Shakespeare.
B．To highlight the beauty of Shakespeare’s language.
C．To challenge the conventional belief regarding adversity.
D．To show the long-standing recognition of adversity’s value.
52．What is conveyed through Mary Pickford’s story
A．Fame can block one’s achievements.
B．Strong determination overcomes adversity.
C．Accepting adversity results in positive outcomes.
D．Courage in the face of challenges leads to success.
53．What is the idea behind Krumboltz’s happenstance theory
A．Embracing uncertainty. B．Managing life’s challenges.
C．Seizing hidden opportunities. D．Focusing on personal growth.
54．What is the author’s attitude towards adversity
A．Cautious. B．Favorable. C．Neutral. D．Doubtful.
55．What does the passage mainly talk about
A．Finding value and opportunity in facing adversity.
B．Stress as the primary cause of growth and innovation.
C．How to avoid adversity and negative experiences in life.
D．Historical figures who failed to overcome adversity effectively.

第一节：阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
Growing up in Arizona’s rodeo（竞技）country, I was familiar with the events that come with traveling rodeos: bull riding, dressing and mutton busting. Mutton busting is like bull riding, but instead of bulls, they use sheep. And in place of the men, it’s children between six and ten years old who try to hang on for eight seconds.
It took me all of five minutes to say yes to the idea of riding a sheep. Being seven years old, my decision- making ability was pretty limited. I figured I could ride a sheep as well as the next kid. Little did I know that I was in for a world of pain and embarrassment.
My nerves were shaking the day of the rodeo. I hated being in front of crowds. I didn’t like getting dirty; I didn’t even like sheep, which I thought of as just dirty and smelly. Yet there I was, getting ready to ride one for eight seconds in front of hundreds of people. I wanted to run out of the field and hide in the hot car until it was over. But by the time this idea occurred to me, it was too late. I was lifted away from my mother by a rodeo trainer and placed onto a platform.
My feet went into the narrow pen（羊圈）first. I felt my shoes touch the dirty floor of the pen. Once I was balanced on the top of the sheep, the trainer let go and told me to lean forward. I did as he said. I could feel the animal’s heart beating faster than mine. I realized that the poor sheep was even more frightened than I was.
Then the gate opened, and I quickly discovered that my hold was too weak. Within three seconds I had fallen off the sheep, and found myself face-down on the sun-baked earth. The sheep thought this was its time to take revenge（复仇）, and attacked me from behind. There I lay, ha t down, covered in dirt, with tears streaming down my face. I looked behind me to see my mother running to comfort me. “Stand up and show them you’re okay,” she told me as she wiped the dirty tears from my face. I stood up, dirty and upset, waved my little hand, and walked out with my mother.
Sadly, I didn’t win anything, not even the respect of these rodeo animals. I did find a new admiration for those little balls of wool, though.

作文
Dear School Committee,
I hope this email finds you well. My name is Li Hua, a student at Mingqi High School, and I am writing to propose the establishment of a Hanfu Club within our school community with the purpose of the revival of Hanfu clothing.
The activities that the Hanfu Club plans to undertake are as follows. At first, we will organize workshops to teach interested students about the history of Hanfu, its significance in Chinese culture, and how to wear it correctly. These sessions will be interactive and informative, allowing students to appreciate the beauty and elegance of Hanfu. Besides, the club will host cultural performances showcasing various aspects of traditional Chinese culture, with a focus on Hanfu. By engaging in these activities, we believe that the Hanfu Club can contribute to fostering a greater sense of cultural pride and identity among our student body.
Thank you for considering our proposal.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
