No poverty, zero hunger, quality education, these are some of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs)the United Nations(UN)established in 2015. In May 2019, the UN launched the SDG Book Club; each month, it posts on the club website a selection of books that illustrate a particular SDG to help young people interact with these goals.
Batesville Intermediate School launched the Junior Ambassadors (大使) program in August 2019, using the SDG Book Club as a springboard to introduce students to a more global view on world issues. Twenty-four 4th and 5th graders met for 30 minutes four days a week to read, discuss, research, and conduct the sharing of knowledge and solutions to these issues. Research activities, special projects, and guest speakers are additional opportunities for junior ambassadors to build knowledge. What began as a desire to help small-town children expand their views grew into a broader program that affected the school, community, and beyond.
The UN’s recommendation of Serafina’s Promise by Ann E. Burg was perfect for the junior ambassadors to begin their study of the first SDG: no poverty. The book is set in Haiti, so members of local Haitian groups were invited to speak to the program participants. Then, the junior ambassadors used their newfound knowledge to create multimedia lessons, sharing them with the other 480 students.
The study of the second SDG — zero hunger — gave junior ambassadors an opportunity to organize and carry out a read- a-thon (a reading marathon) to raise funds for the Grain of Rice Project’s school initiative in Kenya. The nonprofit’s co-founder, Amy Ahiga spoke to and inspired the students with her passion for helping others.
Junior ambassadors use what they learn to engage with their community and the world, earning the school the American Library Association’s 2020 Sara Jaffarian School Library Program Award for Excellence in Humanities Programming. They can look back with pride, knowing they made a difference. With increased confidence and skills, these children will know that they can and will continue to save the world — one goal at a time.
4. What does the SDG Book Club do
A. Teach reading techniques.
B. Provide quality education.
C. Address global conflicts.
D. Recommend selected books.
5. What was the initial aim of launching the Junior Ambassadors program
A. To broaden children’s horizons.
B. To motivate children to set goals.
C. To stress the importance of reading.
D. To make an impact on the community.
6. What is the similarity in the study of the first and second SDG
A. Multimedia lessons were created.
B. Guest speakers concerned were invited.
C. Students were inspired to raise funds.
D. Junior ambassadors organized read-a-thons.
7. Which of the following can be the most suitable title of the passage
A. Earning an award from reading
B. Working towards a sustainable world
C. Establishing a platform to share viewpoints
D. Providing a springboard for future life
C
I have been studying the French language for three years. This field of study has been the hardest but most precious of my life. I would put it above the study of writing simply because I started writing as a 6-year-old boy under my mother’s guidance. I always “felt” I could write. I did not always “feel” I could study a foreign language effectively.
But here I am, right now, in a French hotel. I spoke French at the border, when I checked in and when I went to get lunch. I fail to speak with fluency. I mishear words. I can’t really use complicated grammar. But my words are perfectly understandable and serve their purpose. I feel, as I always do, like I am lost in the dark, but with each misstep, I find my way more clearly. I didn’t feel it when reading French novels; I didn’t feel it at school. I just felt it when I first arrived Paris.
I’m emphasizing feelings because, when studying, they are as important as any reality. The fear of making mistakes feeds the hopeless and makes learners quit. It is not the study of language that is hard. It is the feelings of who you are at the present level and pessimistic belief of who you will always be that make it hard. The transformation to turn struggles into growth is what truly makes learning a life-changing journey.
Maybe one day, someone will say something to me that I do not understand, and in that moment. I may feel a bit discouraged. But now, I feel a sense of being high. These moments of confidence and motivation are precious, for they remind me of how far I’ve come. They are not the norm (常态), though. The truth is, the lows are what I encounter more often. They are part of the learning process, part of the transformation that shapes us into better versions of ourselves. And yet, it is through these lows that I am constantly learning and growing.
8. How does the author feel about making mistakes in French
A. Awkward. B. Hopeless. C. Competent. D. Rewarding.
9. Why does the author emphasize feelings
A. To highlight his struggles in learning French.
B. To show that positive thinking can drive growth.
C. To illustrate that people should follow their hearts.
D. To clarify his experience in mindset transformation.
10. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. The lows are always followed by highs.
B. Feeling confident should be made a norm.
C. Struggles are an essential part of learning.
D. The ups are the real times when learning occurs.
11. Which statement might the author probably agree with
A. Fail again fail better. B. Stay grounded, work for greatness.
C. Accept the lows, wait for the chance. D. Be courageous, explore the unknown.
D
At dusk and dawn, the sky dances with three phases of in-between light. When the sun has just set in the west, the sky changes from the vibrant blue of afternoon to a more relaxed tone, as if it’s settling down for the evening. Soon the east will darken even as the west goes through an abundance of reds, oranges and yellows. And then, at last, the black of night will reign once again. Astronomers are so familiar with twilight (黄昏) that we’ve classified its various stages.
The first that occurs after sunset is called civil twilight, so named because when the sun is just below the horizon, the sky is still bright enough for people to conduct typical “daytime” outdoor activities. This is also when you’re likely to see the most colors in the sky toward the west. Those same molecules (微粒) that distribute sunlight don’t do so randomly; the angle of distributing depends on the color of the light. All the blue light from the sun is sent away in all directions, leaving only the redder colors to shine through, thus creating those breathtaking sunsets.
The next phase is nautical twilight, when the sun is between 6 and 12 degrees below the horizon. The sky maybe a deep purple, and stars begin to appear. The term “nautical twilight” came about because sailors used the stars to get their bearings, and it’s at this time of the early evening that celestial navigation (天文导航) becomes possible.
After that comes astronomical twilight. This is when the sun is 12 to 18 degrees below the horizon and the sky finally appears black, with the stars truly shining. We call it astronomical twilight because it may look dark to your eye, but through a telescope, the sky is still bright enough to intervene in some observations.
This last phase of twilight concludes once the sun drops below 18 degrees; the sky becomes fully dark, and it is time for astronomers to enjoy the beginning of their work night.
12 What does the underlined word “reign” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Fade away. B. Draw near. C. End up. D. Take over.
13. What causes breathtaking sunsets during the civil twilight
A. The standout of red colors. B. The absence of artificial light.
C. The reflection of colorful tones. D. The distribution of all colors of light.
14. What can we learn about the three phases of twilight
A. Each twilight is characterized by the sun’s position.
B. Each twilight allows for various scientific researches.
C. Nautical twilight is too bright to use celestial navigation.
D. Astronomical twilight is ideal for telescope observations.
15. What will the author introduce next
A. The impacts of twilight. B. The interpretations of twilight.
C. The process of observing stars. D. The working conditions of astronomers.

57. 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。
“Our class recycling project will start next week. You can choose to do it alone or in pairs,” Mr. Lee, the science teacher, announced. “Your goal is to design a recycling corner that will increase recycling rates in our classroom. The best idea will be adopted in the school.” The classroom erupted into enthusiastic chatter as students paired up and began their discussions.
Being a nature and animal lover, Lucy’s dream was big. She imagined birds and fish thriving (茁壮成长) in a plastic-free environment, inspired by her hours spent observing wildlife at her favorite lake. “The first step towards a plastic-free habitat is fostering a recycling habit,” she thought. “I’m sure I can come up with a brilliant idea for the project!” Her daydreaming was interrupted by a light tap from her best friend, Max.
“Do you still have that book on recycling I’m sure there are many helpful tips that we could use for this project. Shall we work on this together ” Max inquired expectantly.
Lucy recalled having read the library book the previous night and placing it on her bedside table. “Um...” she hesitated, “I returned it this morning... and I’m thinking of working on this project alone.”
“Oh, I see,” Max walked away, disappointed.
The next day, Lucy started working on her project, a smart dustbin. Yes, she had a unique concept for the recycling bin but she struggled to construct it. The design required a standard of workmanship that was simply beyond her capability. Frustrated, she went for a walk downstairs.
“Lucy ” she heard a familiar voice and looked up, surprised to find Max standing there. He had never witnessed her looking so disheartened before; she was walking heavily along with a discouraged expression, sighing deeply. Concerned, he called out to her. “What happened ” he asked gently. Guilt-ridden, she admitted lying about the book and apologized sincerely. Max forgave her readily.
“Well, if you need a partner, all you have to do is ask!” Max replied, smiling.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
She did so, and then excitedly described her design concept of the recycling bin.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Lucy and Max’s hard work paid off.

【答案】Dear Terry,
How are you doing In your last letter, you asked me about being a guest to a Chinese friend’s home. Now, I am writing to inform you of some relevant details.
To begin with, according to our tradition, you are supposed to arrive early, so that you can help the family prepare the dinner, which is not only meaningful but also interesting. Besides, you’d better bring some gifts, such as a book or a Chinese knot. What’s more, when you are enjoying the meal, you need to avoid making noises while chewing food.
Hopefully, these suggestions would be helpful for you. I have the confidence that you will have a great time. Looking forward to your good news.
Yours,
Li Hua

【答案】参考范文
She did so and then excitedly described her design concept of the recycling bin. “Cool!” Max chirped. Fired up by her brilliant idea, they worked hard together, making spots for paper, plastic, glass, and metal. Over the week, the pair worked tirelessly to build their recycling bin. They included sections for different types of materials and added sensors that would light up when an item was correctly sorted. But if a mistake was made, it flashed red, and a nice robot voice would show the way. They even decorated it with colorful pictures of a clean world without trash, where animals could play.
Lucy and Max’s hard work paid off. Their recycling bin wasn’t just a bin; it was a beacon of hope, a call to action, and a testament to partnership and deep love for the planet. On the presentation day, their classmates were in awe of their clever design and powerful message. So impressed was Mr. Lee that he advocated for its school-wide adoption. Overjoyed by the positive response, Lucy and Max realized that real change required collective efforts, and their bin stood as tangible evidence that teamwork truly makes the dream work.
