Thank you for inviting me to your show to do this interview. You asked about my childhood, and how I got interested in acting. Well, I really loved being in plays when I was younger. My first role was Annie in the play Little Orphan Annie when I was seven years old. I got to sing, which I loved. I told my mum that I wanted to be in movies, so when I was eight, my mum moved us to Los Angeles. My mum took me to see the film makers every day. I didn’t have much luck at first, and it was really hard to hear directors telling me I wasn’t right for a role. My big break came when I was nine years old. I got the role of Maxine in the movie Running Toward the Sun. I had so much fun on the set of that movie. I was the youngest one there, and I just remember everyone being so nice to me. I never dreamed I’d be acting in a movie like Superman, as I am now!

On his tenth birthday, 6 February, 2023, Lzmir Kassam woke to the news of the powerful earthquake in Turkey and Syria. Living in Calgary but named after Turkey’s third-largest city, Lzmir felt a deep connection to the sorrow. Driven by a wish to help, he saw an opportunity to make a difference through his love of running. Two years earlier, Lzmir had run his first half-marathon, collecting money for Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan.
This time he set a new goal: to run ten kilometres ten times, each run marking a year of his life, and to use this challenge to collect money for the people in the earthquake-hit area. Over the course of four months, from last February to June, he ran a total of 62 miles (100 kilometres)—more than two marathons. For his final run, on 10 June, the Canadian Turkish Cultural and Islamic Centre helped organise a celebratory event, and Lzmir was joined by his father, his teacher, his classmates and members of the Calgary Turkish community.
In the end, Lzmir’s movement collected more than ￡10,500 for the people in the earthquake-hit area. “Sometimes I’d feel tired,” Lzmir told the media after the last run. “But then I’d think of all these people that I’m helping and I’d keep pushing on.”
(　C　)24. What event made Lzmir Kassam set a new goal to run
A. A wish to celebrate his birthday.
B. A personal achievement in sports.
C. An earthquake in Turkey and Syria.
D. A school movement to collect money.
(　D　)25. What encouraged Lzmir Kassam to go on when he felt tired
A. The wish to get praise from his family.
B. The idea to finish his own running goals.
C. The memory of his first half-marathon.
D. The thought of the people he was helping.
(　B　)26. Which two words can describe Lzmir Kassam best
A. Honest and positive.
B. Kind and determined.
C. Polite and responsible.
D. Popular and confident.
(　D　)27. What lesson can be learned from Lzmir’s story
A. People who are good at sports have bigger goals to set.
B. It is hard for a person to succeed without the help of others.
C. It’s easy to raise a large amount of money through running.
D. Using one’s strong points is a powerful way to help others.

As most people know, in the past few years, sandstorms have swept across many cities and areas of Asia, polluting the air and disturbing daily lives of human beings. People look dirty and suffer many kinds of illnesses, such as breath difficulty. The sandstorm is such a serious problem that it has not only undermined the industrial and agricultural development of our country but also caused a lot of trouble to the living conditions of the Asian people. It is expected that effective measures should be taken as soon as possible through our joint efforts to limit its occurrence.
So what should we do with the frightening sandstorms Some experts put forward practical suggestions as follows: For one thing, more funds (基金) ought to be put into tree planting and forest protection so as to keep more water resources within the surface of the Earth. For another, governments of all countries should make laws on environmental protection.For example, banning the use of throw-away chopsticks and punishing illegal tree cutting.Scientists should also study and find ways to cut down the degree of its destruction and to improve the whole environment.
How people look forward to sunny days with little breeze (微风) touching their faces now and forever! Nevertheless, I am fully confident that the golden days can come back so long as everyone tries his best to protect natural environment from today on.
(　A　)28. The underlined word “undermined” in Paragraph 1 means “　　　　”.
A. weakened B. encouraged
C. kept D. made
(　B　)29. From the first paragraph, we can infer that 　　　　.
A. government has taken no measures to prevent sandstorms
B. sandstorms can cause much damage to human beings and their daily lives
C. the sandstorm is the most dangerous natural disaster to human beings
D. more sandstorms will happen in the near future in Asia
(　C　)30. How many ways do some experts put forward to fight against the sandstorm
A. 5. B. 4.
C. 3. D. 2.
(　B　)31. What’s the author’s attitude towards the situation to sandstorms’ problems
A. Unconfident. B. Optimistic.
C. Regretful. D. Satisfied.
D
An ocean researcher, Peter Bromirski, at the University of California, San Diego, says that waves have been getting bigger and stronger since 1970. There are also more big wave events than ever before. A big wave is about four metres tall or more.
When large waves reach the coast, they bounce back and run into new waves. The crash sends energy through the ocean floor, where it can be recorded by seismographs (地震仪). Those records allowed Bromirski to decide the strength and size of waves over a period of 90 years. Bromirski said he found the seismographic information by chance. Before the discovery, he said “it was almost impossible” to compare waves from the past with those from the present.
It took a lot of work to put the information together. Much of the information was on paper. Bromirski and his team of student researchers had to enter the information into a computer so they could study the information easily. The slow process took years.
They found that the height of most waves in the winter along the California coast had grown by about 30 centimetres since 1970. Starting that year, waves of over 4 metres happened more often as well. Between 1996 and 2016, the large waves happened twice as often as they did from 1949 to 1969.
1970 is the year scientists believe the warming of the planet began to speed up. Bromirski says the new information shows that climate change is making ocean waves taller and stronger. That means they are more likely to harm the coast, roads and buildings.
Bromirski said his research may be a warning that bigger and stronger waves are ahead. With more warming, sea levels will rise and waves will get stronger, causing flooding and more damage to land. The California coast has already been damaged by big waves in recent years.
(　B　)32. What does the underlined phrase “bounce back” mean in Paragraph 2
A. Go up. B. Move back.
C. Crash out. D. Take over.
(　C　)33. What can we learn from Paragraph 2
A. Forms of sea waves near the coast.
B. Ways the water moves to the shore.
C. The way of recording sea wave strength.
D. Difference between present and past waves.
(　B　)34. Why did the researchers enter the information into a computer
A. To examine whether it is correct.
B. To use it conveniently in research.
C. To share it with other researchers.
D. To make sure of information safety.
(　A　)35. What does Bromirski think of the change in ocean water movement A. It will cause more serious results.
B. It will result in more heavy rain on land.
C. It will make climate change for the worse.
D. It will bring more risk to human activities at sea.

Are you concerned about the effect of the haze (雾霾) in Singapore on the health of your children Then you should read the following passage.
“Young children, especially those with lung or heart illness,should avoid outdoor activity at PSI (Pollution Standards Index—used in Singapore) levels above 100,”says Dr Biju Thomas.
The immune system (免疫系统) of children is not mature. 　36　 Exposure to the haze can result in symptoms such as a blocked nose, dry throat, breathing difficulty, and so on.
Children who are exposed to the haze and experience any of these symptoms which are not serious should recover on their own in time if they limit their exposure to the haze. 　37　 To keep children safe during the haze in Singapore, parents should keep doors and windows closed at home. Ensure that children drink plenty of pure water every day.
　38　 The answer is that there aren’t any N95 masks designed for use by children. That’s because these masks are made to create a seal (密封) around the mouth and nose of the adult user so particles (颗粒) can not get in. 　39　 Surgical masks may not offer enough protection from the harmful particles in the haze, which is very small (2.5 microns or less). There is usually some gap between the surgical mask and the face, through which the haze particles may easily get in. 　40　
However, if it is necessary to take children outdoors during a haze, parents may wish to offer children’s surgical mask to their children, if it brings them comfort, such as filtering out the smell from the haze.
A. So during a haze, children are especially at risk.
B. Allow children for regular travels from one building to another.
C. However, if the symptoms continue, they should ask a doctor for help.
D. The available N95 masks may not fit tightly on the face of a child.
E. So you can use a conditioner instead of opening the windows regularly.
F. So it is best to keep children indoors to protect them from the haze when the PSI is high.
G. Are N95 masks and surgical masks suitable for children
36. 　A　　37. 　C　　38. 　G　
39. 　D　　40. 　F

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Wayne Boone is a 53-year-old lorry driver for a paper-recycling company in Suffolk, Virginia. Every day, he drives the empty 18-wheeler lorry up Interstate 64 in Chesapeake toward Virginia Beach, about 50 kilometres away, where he will pick up his first load of the day. One morning in April, the strong winds gave Wayne Boone’s lorry a good whipping (鞭打).
He planned to change into the left lane of the G.A.Treakle Memorial Bridge when the storm let loose its full force. Rain beated Boone’s windshield. Winds grew fierce. As he was turning, Boone’s front wheels met the wet surface just as a powerful wind blew the driver’s side of his lorry. It felt like the wind lifted the lorry clear off the surface. His lorry crashed into the guardrail (护栏) on the far right edge.
He struggled to regain control, but another wind, blowing more violently, pushed the lorry upward from below, lifting the lorry cab (驾驶室), with Boone inside, over the edge of the bridge before dropping it again. If he felt any hope of survival before, it disappeared. The lorry aimed straight down toward the grey-black water. In the end, Boone’s lorry was hanging over the bridge, under which was a deep river 21 metres below.
Boone was badly injured, half blinded by the blood pouring into his eyes and suffering from shock. He forced himself to focus. If he had any chance escaping the cab and surviving, he had to get out of his seatbelt. Gathering all his strength, he pulled himself between the seats and put himself back as far as he could behind the driver’s seat. He struggled to grab his mobile phone, but it was out of his reach. After he was hung in the wind for an hour, waiting to die, Boone was almost exhausted. Was he going to get out of here alive He had never frightened. He had accepted his fate (命运). He was ready to go if that’s what was meant to be when he heard a noise was drawing nearer.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
A few minutes later, Boone heard the approaching sirens (汽笛). To him, the noisy sound could have been angels singing. Hope finally flooded through him as a rescuer came down with a rope. He sighed in relief when the rescuer gave him step-by-step instructions for getting out of the window while attempting to stay as stable as possible in the storm. After getting a rope around Boone, the rescuer pulled him out through the window and fully into the wild weather, and then signaled to be pulled up to a safe place.
Paragraph 2:
When the rescuer and Boone appeared on the bridge, people shouted with joy.Back on the bridge, Boone was delivered to safety and then rushed to the nearest hospital. People on the bridge all spoke highly of the rescuer’s bravery and selflessness. Exhausted as he was on his way to the hospital, Boone was full of gratitude. Without the rescuer’s timely help, he could have been dead! He whispered in his heart for many times, “Thank you!” And only then did he realise that accident is merciless while humans aren’t!Unit 4 核心素养测评卷

On his tenth birthday, 6 February, 2023, Lzmir Kassam woke to the news of the powerful earthquake in Turkey and Syria. Living in Calgary but named after Turkey’s third-largest city, Lzmir felt a deep connection to the sorrow. Driven by a wish to help, he saw an opportunity to make a difference through his love of running. Two years earlier, Lzmir had run his first half-marathon, collecting money for Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan.
This time he set a new goal: to run ten kilometres ten times, each run marking a year of his life, and to use this challenge to collect money for the people in the earthquake-hit area. Over the course of four months, from last February to June, he ran a total of 62 miles (100 kilometres)—more than two marathons. For his final run, on 10 June, the Canadian Turkish Cultural and Islamic Centre helped organise a celebratory event, and Lzmir was joined by his father, his teacher, his classmates and members of the Calgary Turkish community.
In the end, Lzmir’s movement collected more than ￡10,500 for the people in the earthquake-hit area. “Sometimes I’d feel tired,” Lzmir told the media after the last run. “But then I’d think of all these people that I’m helping and I’d keep pushing on.”
( )24. What event made Lzmir Kassam set a new goal to run
A. A wish to celebrate his birthday.

( )26. Which two words can describe Lzmir Kassam best
A. Honest and positive.
B. Kind and determined.
C. Polite and responsible.
D. Popular and confident.
( )27. What lesson can be learned from Lzmir’s story
A. People who are good at sports have bigger goals to set.

As most people know, in the past few years, sandstorms have swept across many cities and areas of Asia, polluting the air and disturbing daily lives of human beings. People look dirty and suffer many kinds of illnesses, such as breath difficulty. The sandstorm is such a serious problem that it has not only undermined the industrial and agricultural development of our country but also caused a lot of trouble to the living conditions of the Asian people. It is expected that effective measures should be taken as soon as possible through our joint efforts to limit its occurrence.
So what should we do with the frightening sandstorms Some experts put forward practical suggestions as follows: For one thing, more funds (基金) ought to be put into tree planting and forest protection so as to keep more water resources within the surface of the Earth. For another, governments of all countries should make laws on environmental protection.For example, banning the use of throw-away chopsticks and punishing illegal tree cutting.Scientists should also study and find ways to cut down the degree of its destruction and to improve the whole environment.
How people look forward to sunny days with little breeze (微风) touching their faces now and forever! Nevertheless, I am fully confident that the golden days can come back so long as everyone tries his best to protect natural environment from today on.
( )28. The underlined word “undermined” in Paragraph 1 means “　　　　”.
A. weakened B. encouraged

An ocean researcher, Peter Bromirski, at the University of California, San Diego, says that waves have been getting bigger and stronger since 1970. There are also more big wave events than ever before. A big wave is about four metres tall or more.
When large waves reach the coast, they bounce back and run into new waves. The crash sends energy through the ocean floor, where it can be recorded by seismographs (地震仪). Those records allowed Bromirski to decide the strength and size of waves over a period of 90 years. Bromirski said he found the seismographic information by chance. Before the discovery, he said “it was almost impossible” to compare waves from the past with those from the present.
It took a lot of work to put the information together. Much of the information was on paper. Bromirski and his team of student researchers had to enter the information into a computer so they could study the information easily. The slow process took years.
They found that the height of most waves in the winter along the California coast had grown by about 30 centimetres since 1970. Starting that year, waves of over 4 metres happened more often as well. Between 1996 and 2016, the large waves happened twice as often as they did from 1949 to 1969.
1970 is the year scientists believe the warming of the planet began to speed up. Bromirski says the new information shows that climate change is making ocean waves taller and stronger. That means they are more likely to harm the coast, roads and buildings.
Bromirski said his research may be a warning that bigger and stronger waves are ahead. With more warming, sea levels will rise and waves will get stronger, causing flooding and more damage to land. The California coast has already been damaged by big waves in recent years.
( )32. What does the underlined phrase “bounce back” mean in Paragraph 2
A. Go up. B. Move back.
C. Crash out. D. Take over.
( )33. What can we learn from Paragraph 2
A. Forms of sea waves near the coast.
B. Ways the water moves to the shore.
C. The way of recording sea wave strength.
D. Difference between present and past waves.
( )34. Why did the researchers enter the information into a computer
A. To examine whether it is correct.
B. To use it conveniently in research.
C. To share it with other researchers.
D. To make sure of information safety.
( )35. What does Bromirski think of the change in ocean water movement A. It will cause more serious results.
B. It will result in more heavy rain on land.
C. It will make climate change for the worse.
D. It will bring more risk to human activities at sea.

Are you concerned about the effect of the haze (雾霾) in Singapore on the health of your children Then you should read the following passage.
“Young children, especially those with lung or heart illness,should avoid outdoor activity at PSI (Pollution Standards Index—used in Singapore) levels above 100,”says Dr Biju Thomas.
The immune system (免疫系统) of children is not mature. 　36　 Exposure to the haze can result in symptoms such as a blocked nose, dry throat, breathing difficulty, and so on.
Children who are exposed to the haze and experience any of these symptoms which are not serious should recover on their own in time if they limit their exposure to the haze. 　37　 To keep children safe during the haze in Singapore, parents should keep doors and windows closed at home. Ensure that children drink plenty of pure water every day.
　38　 The answer is that there aren’t any N95 masks designed for use by children. That’s because these masks are made to create a seal (密封) around the mouth and nose of the adult user so particles (颗粒) can not get in. 　39　 Surgical masks may not offer enough protection from the harmful particles in the haze, which is very small (2.5 microns or less). There is usually some gap between the surgical mask and the face, through which the haze particles may easily get in. 　40　
However, if it is necessary to take children outdoors during a haze, parents may wish to offer children’s surgical mask to their children, if it brings them comfort, such as filtering out the smell from the haze.
A. So during a haze, children are especially at risk.
B. Allow children for regular travels from one building to another.
C. However, if the symptoms continue, they should ask a doctor for help.
D. The available N95 masks may not fit tightly on the face of a child.
E. So you can use a conditioner instead of opening the windows regularly.
F. So it is best to keep children indoors to protect them from the haze when the PSI is high.
G. Are N95 masks and surgical masks suitable for children

39. 　40.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Wayne Boone is a 53-year-old lorry driver for a paper-recycling company in Suffolk, Virginia. Every day, he drives the empty 18-wheeler lorry up Interstate 64 in Chesapeake toward Virginia Beach, about 50 kilometres away, where he will pick up his first load of the day. One morning in April, the strong winds gave Wayne Boone’s lorry a good whipping (鞭打).
He planned to change into the left lane of the G.A.Treakle Memorial Bridge when the storm let loose its full force. Rain beated Boone’s windshield. Winds grew fierce. As he was turning, Boone’s front wheels met the wet surface just as a powerful wind blew the driver’s side of his lorry. It felt like the wind lifted the lorry clear off the surface. His lorry crashed into the guardrail (护栏) on the far right edge.
He struggled to regain control, but another wind, blowing more violently, pushed the lorry upward from below, lifting the lorry cab (驾驶室), with Boone inside, over the edge of the bridge before dropping it again. If he felt any hope of survival before, it disappeared. The lorry aimed straight down toward the grey-black water. In the end, Boone’s lorry was hanging over the bridge, under which was a deep river 21 metres below.
Boone was badly injured, half blinded by the blood pouring into his eyes and suffering from shock. He forced himself to focus. If he had any chance escaping the cab and surviving, he had to get out of his seatbelt. Gathering all his strength, he pulled himself between the seats and put himself back as far as he could behind the driver’s seat. He struggled to grab his mobile phone, but it was out of his reach. After he was hung in the wind for an hour, waiting to die, Boone was almost exhausted. Was he going to get out of here alive He had never frightened. He had accepted his fate (命运). He was ready to go if that’s what was meant to be when he heard a noise was drawing nearer.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
A few minutes later, Boone heard the approaching sirens (汽笛).

When the rescuer and Boone appeared on the bridge, people shouted with joy.
