Imagine you're taking an exam, and that you find it difficult to answer those
questions.And time's running out. Would you waste the little chance that you get to
cheat Maybe some of us have once cheated in the test.
Certainly, it's not correct. It's important to follow the rules because the world would
turn into a total mess without rules. For example, if we all do what we want to do on the
road,accidents would happen everywhere.
However,with the time passing by and the development of the society,some rules
make it difficult for people to achieve success. The famous American actor, Arnold
Schwarzenegger once said, “ We have so many rules in life about everything. But it's
impossible to be a creator if you're too well-behaved. You have to think outside the box."
Not all rules are equal. Some are created to control people,and some become old
and boring. So sometimes, it's okay to break the rules. In 1823,William Webb Ellis was a
pupil at Rugby School. He was tired of playing football in the old way, so the player took
the ball in his arms and ran with it during a school football match. In this way,he started
a new sport: rugby, named after his school.
Since you've already known why someone wants to break the rules, now you need
to learn how to do it.
Learn the rules first. Pablo Picasso wasa talented artist, but he took much time to
learn traditional drawing and painting skills before he found his own styles. Master it
before you break it-that's what you can learn from great minds.
Evaluate （评估）if the result is worth it. Each person has his own values. Before
breaking the rules, think over whether it won't go with your values. And the moment you
decide to do that, you must be ready to face the bad results.
All in all, rules are meant to help us, not rule us. So, there is reason1 to believe that
we should try to break the rules, when they stop us from becoming better. Of course,
one can be a fan of breaking the rules, but don't be a fan of breaking the laws.
24.Which writing method is used in the first paragraph
A.Giving examples. B.Creating a scene（场景）.
C. Introducing the background. D.Quoting（引用）famous people.
25.What do Amold Schwarzenegger's words mean
A.People can't be successful without rules.
B. There are too many rules in life to follow.
C.Not all rules are necessary to follow.
D.People should always break rules.
26．What can we infer（推断） from this passage？
A.Cheating in exams is acceptable if time is not enough.
B.Breaking rules always leads to creative achievements.
C.Ellis took the ball in his arms because he was too tired.
D.Pablo Picasso was hard-working and creative.
27.What is the best structure of this passage
A. B. C. D.

Do you ever wonder why trees begin to bud（发芽，开花）earlier in some cities
？Scientists finally found the answer but it's not very pleasant. New science suggests
a relationship between light pollution and the timing when trees produce buds,which
shows the arrival of the spring season.
Light pollution is defined （定义为）by the Lighting Research Center as the
harmful （有害的）effect of outdoor lighting such as streetlights. Too much light at
night destroys natural cycles and makes it hard to see stars and planets. It harms the
environment more than we realise.
By studying some trees,researchers found out that trees lit by man-made lights
at night start to bud about 7.5 days earlier than trees in natural darkness. And they
found out that light has a more important effect than temperature when the buds
come out. The early budding may cause problems for insects, which feed on leaves,
and the birds which then feed on them in turn. Professor Richard ffrench-Constant,
who helped lead the research,explained that more than the budding of trees, the
study shows the balance of the environment is at risk. “ At the moment ，
caterpillars （毛毛虫） are born at just the right time to eat the new leaves that
trees grow, and birds are born at the right time to eat these young caterpillars. But,
when man-made lights make trees grow leaves earlier, it can mess up this natural
timing and cause problems for both the caterpillars and the birds." he said.
Migratory bird（s 候侯鸟）are also negatively affected by light pollution. The light
might confuse them and make them lose their flying sense. The situation might
explain why some birds accidentally knock into buildings.
We need to do more research on how light pollution affects nature. If the
problem was left to continue, it is believed that by 2100, spring would begin almost
a full month earlier than it does today.
28.What is the main factor that causes trees to bud earlier according to the new findings
A.Higher temperatures. B.Light pollution.
C.Seasonal changes. D.Natural darkness.
29.What will happen as a result if there is too much man-made light
A.People's eyesight will get hurt.
B.The environment will lose its balance.
C.Animals'living habits will change suddenly.
D.People won't be able to observe stars or planets at night.
30.What is the correct order of the folowing events
① Birds are born and have no caterpillars to eat.
② Caterpillars are born and have no leaves to eat.
③ Trees don't grow new leaves at the right time.
A.①②③ B.②①③ C.③②① D.②③①
31.What will the writer most probably talk about next
A.The harm of light pollution to other animals.
B.The ways to solve the problems of light pollution.
C.The reasons why spring will begin earlier by 2100.
D.The importance of protecting the balance of nature.

Table tennis may not seem a reasonable choice for someone with no arms-but
Ibrahim Hamadtou doesn't believe in limits. The 53-year-old Egyptian Paralympic athlete
breaks the barrier by holding the bat in his mouth and using his right foot to serve（发
球）the ball.
Hamadtou, who lost his arms in a train accident at the age of ten,was leading a
life filled with self-doubt and limitations until one important day. He was once watching
a match between two of his friends. They disagreed on a point. When he expressed his
opinion to support one of them, the other player got annoyed and told him,"Mind your
own business as you will never be able to play!" It was the statement that fired him up
to decide to play table tennis.
The journey to master the sport was anything but easy. It took Hamadtou three
long years to work it out. He said the biggest challenge was figuring out the best way to
control his body. At first， he was trying to use the bat under the arm， but the
instability（不稳定）made it extremely difficult to hit the ball precisely. Then, he also
tried using other things,yet nothing seemed to work well. Finally, after countless tries,
he came up with the idea of using his mouth. It took him nearly a year of painstaking
practice to get used to holding the bat with his mouth and making the serve. Day in and
day out, he got through muscle （肌肉）pains and tiredness， and this seemingly
impossible skill gradually improved.
The Egyptian's incredible talent came to light in 2014 when he was awarded the
best Arab Athlete of the Year. He won a silver medal at the 2016 African
Championships,got the chance to join in his first Paralympics in 2016 at 43, and then
again in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games at 48.
The inspiring athlete says, “ The disability is not in arms or legs but to give up
whatever you would like to do."
32.What does the underlined word “barrier" in Paragraph 1 mean
A.规则 B.障碍 C.记录 D.隔阂
33.What made Hamadtou take up table tennis
A.His interest in table tennis. B.His determination to show himself.
C.His dream of inspiring others. D.His experience of a train accident.
34.What was the most difficult for Hamadtou to play table tennis
A.Serving the ball with his mouth.
B.Holding the bat under his arm.
C.Making his muscles strong.
D.Playing the game with the right body parts.
35.What message does the story give us
A.Well begun is half done.
B.Love breaks dowvn barriers.
C.Success gives people delight.
D.Nothing is impossible for a willing heart.

Do you have clothes in your wardrobe that you never wear Do you keep things in
your cupboards that you never use Do you have books on your shelves that you never
open And what about the mess on the floor 36 If the answer to these questions
is yes, then you're not alone. Most of us have too many things.
People with untidy, messy rooms have untidy minds. 37 This makes them
unhappy. There is no doubt that too many things are bad forus and we have to change.
Now,imagine this bedroom: a white floor, a bed, a wardrobe, a desk and a chair.
That's all.It looks calm and relaxing.This is the minimalist （ 极 简 主 义 ）
style.Minimalists believe that they don't have to own a lot of things to be happy.
38
You are probably asking at this point "Do I have to throw away all myfavorite things
”Of course the answer is that you don't. A minimalist room is too extreme for most
people,and personal things like photos and books are comforting and help us to feel at
home.39 Consider this simple rule: if you don't use something for longer than 6
months,throw it away. You have to regularly tidy and sort out all the things in your room.
After regular decluttering（定期清理），you＇ll have more space in your wardrobe and
cupboards.No more "You must tidy your room!" from your parents! Your room will look
more spacious and you'll feel free.
They try to live with only necessary things.
B.But regular decluttering isn't a bad idea.
C.Why do you keep so many things in your room
. Is it difficult to find things when you need them
E.They can feel stressed and they find it difficult to relax.
40．Will you try the minimalist lifestyle？ Why or why not？（请用完整句子回答

Should students have an e-study Pad
Our school is thinking about offering each student a special iPad to help with their study. Students can read books, do homework and tests on the iPad. They can even ask for help from AI teachers anytime they want. I think it's a good idea. Here are three reasons for my opinion.
First, e-study Pads make learning more efficient. With online resources and AI teachers, students can get instant answers to questions, saving time on searching for information. For example, when stuck on a math problem, an AI teacher can explain the steps clearly in real time.
Second, these devices promote environmental protection. Using digital textbooks and online assignments reduces paper waste, which is a small but meaningful step toward a greener planet.
Lastly, e-study Pads prepare students for a digital future. In today's world, mastering technology is essential. By using these tools at school, students can develop digital literacy skills that will benefit them in higher education and future careers.
In conclusion, e-study Pads bring more advantages than disadvantages. They enhance learning efficiency, support sustainability, and equip students with modern skills. I believe this initiative will greatly improve our study experience.
