Extreme (极度的) hot weather is common in many parts of the world. Although hot weather just makes most people hot, it can cause medical problems and death. Heat may be nature’s most dangerous killer.
Health experts say that since the year 1900, extreme hot weather has killed more people in the United States than any other natural event. One year, the unusually hot summer of 1980 caused about 1,700 deaths in the United States. In 1955, more than 600 people died in another heat wave in one city—Chicago, Illinois.
Besides drinking lots of cool water, doctors say there are some other things to do to protect against the health dangers of heat. Stay out of the sun, if possible. Wear loose (宽松的) and light-colored clothes. Wear a hat while in the sun. Eat fewer hot and heavy foods. And rest more often. These simple steps can prevent (阻止) the dangerous health problems caused by extreme heat. They will prevent sickness, help you feel better and may even save your life.

Dear Sun Meng,
In your last e-mail, you asked me how to deal with stress and worries. One good way that many students in my country find helpful is using a worry box. Let me explain how to make and use one.
Try using a worry box Make a special box Use colorful things and pictures to make your worry box. Here is a picture of my worry-eating monster (怪兽) box! Write down your worries Take some pieces of paper and write down your worries Rate (评价) your worries and store them in the box If you like, place each worry on a scale (等级) from 1 to 10. 1 means “a little worried” and 10 means “the most worried”. For example, today I put two worries into the box. I rated “losing my new bike” as a 7 and “worrying about the math exam” as a 4. Talk it out Make sure to make some time every day or week to talk about your worries with your parents. Together, you can find ways to deal with them.
Remember, it’s not healthy to carry worries around in your head. The worry box provides a safe place to “share” your worries. By using it. you’ll learn to deal with your worries.
Take care!
Yours.
Anna

My first home was a beautiful grassland with a lake of clear water. My mother and I had a happy life there. One day, my owner—Farmer Grey sold me to Squire Gordon. Mr. Gordon lived with his family in a big house.
“You’re a beautiful horse,” he said, “You have a beautiful black coat. I shall call you Black Beauty.”
My master had two other horses. One of them was Merrylegs. He was friendly. The other was Ginger. She was different. She liked biting and kicking (踢) people because she had a hard life when she was young.
Ginger and I pulled a coach together. The coachman’s name was John. I worked very hard and made friends with Ginger soon.

“Thank God!” said Mr. Gordon. “Thank you, Beauty!” said John. We turned around and went along the road by the river. For a long time no one said anything. Then John said, “Black Beauty saved our lives.”
When we returned home, Mr. Gordon told his wife, “We are all safe, thanks to Black Beauty!”
That night…

What do you usually do when you’re on the train Take a rest, look out of the window, or just use your phone Have you ever thought about what else you can do on the train Well, some trains in China have become a place for learning about Chinese culture.
Tourists on the K7041 train from Harbin to Mohe in Heilongjiang had a chance to meet five artists from the Oroqen (鄂伦春族). Gulayier Ente, one of the artists, dressed in traditional clothing and sang Oroqen songs. The beautiful music made people cheerful. “For me, this experience is wonderful. Being closer to tourists and communicating with them helped us all enjoy ourselves,” said Gulayier.
The train started running in January, 2025 to celebrate the Chinese New Year. During the train journey, artists showed their skills like making birch bark (桦树皮) paintings besides singing and dancing. “We can watch special shows and learn about Chinese culture. It’s really exciting!” said Ms. Zhang, a tourist from Guizhou.
In fact, more Chinese arts, including Qinhuai lanterns (灯笼) from Nanjing and tea-picking operas from Guangxi, have also been shown on trains. Trains go across most areas of China, so they are great for sharing Chinese culture with more people. Unlike museums, trains can bring cultural experiences directly to people.
However, there are still some difficulties. For example, the space on trains is a little small, and people get on and off at each station. Train staff (全体员工) need to work harder to integrate (融入) Chinese culture into train journeys.
16. How does the writer start the passage
A. By telling a story. B. By playing a joke.
C. By asking questions. D. By giving numbers.
17. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2
A. Chinese culture comes to life on the train.
B. Traditional clothing interests people on the train.
C. Foreign tourists enjoy their trip to China.
D. Music is a great way of communication.
18. How did Ms. Zhang feel on the K7041 train
A. Bored. B. Excited. C. Lucky. D. Surprised.
19. What’s the purpose (目的) of the passage
A. To tell people trains are a comfortable way to travel.
B. To describe the beautiful nature tourists can see on trains.
C. To ask more people to learn to make birch bark paintings.
D. To show trains can be a bridge between people and culture.
20. What may the writer talk about in the next paragraph
A. What tourists think of the artists’ shows.
B. Which the most popular Chinese culture is.
C. Why Chinese culture is important to the world.
D. How to better show Chinese culture on trains.

第一节 语法填空(共10小题，每小题2分，满分20分)

第二节：信息摘录(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读短文，然后在文后表格内补全所缺信息，每空不超过三个词。
What can we do to be a great student Read the following five traits (特征) all great students have.
They ask questions.
Most teachers want students to ask questions when they do not understand what has been taught. It is truly the only way a teacher knows whether students really understand something. Good students aren’t afraid to ask questions because they know that if they do not understand what the teacher said, it may have a bad effect (作用) on their study.
They’re problem solvers
Problem-solving is an important skill that schools have to work on developing. Those students who do have true problem-solving abilities are able to face different challenges.
They’re hard workers.
The perfect student isn’t necessarily the smartest one. The hard-working students will finally be the most successful in life. Being a hard worker means completing homework on time, putting effort into schoolwork, realizing weaknesses and looking for ways to improve.
They seize opportunities (抓住机会).
In our country, every child has free public education. Unluckily, not everyone makes full use of that. It is true that every child must go to school for some time, but that doesn’t mean that every student seizes that opportunity and tries hard. However, the best students make full use of the opportunities.
They can be trusted.
No one wants to get on with people whom they cannot trust. Good students take opportunities seriously to show that they can be trusted because they know winners never cheat.
A Great Student
A questioner _____46_____ is the only way to check if the students understand the knowledge.
_____47_____ It is an important skill for students to learn to solve problems.
A hard worker _____48_____ homework on time, put effort into schoolwork and improve the weaknesses.
A person who catches the chances _____49_____ and make full use of them.
A trusted person _____50_____ likes to spend time with people they cannot trust.

Dear Li Hua,
I’m sorry to hear that you have problems these days.
First, about your shyness, try practicing deep breathing before speaking. Start with small groups, like talking to close friends, and gradually build confidence. Remember, everyone feels nervous sometimes—it’s normal!
For your parents’ arguments, understand that their issues aren’t your fault. If their fights upset you, politely share your feelings with them or focus on hobbies to distract yourself. You’re also welcome to visit my office for a private chat.
You’re not alone, Li Hua. Take small steps, and things will improve.
Yours,
Dr. Hunt
