二、(A)
We need to talk a lot with our friends and family to build good relationships in our life. How can we improve our talking skills Here are four ways that might help you have better conversations with people. Never speak when the other person is speaking. If you do this, it's just like saying, "I don't care what you're saying. What I have to say is more important." Don't finish other people's sentences. Studies show that doing this will make people lose interest in talking with you because you're taking control of the conversation. Repeat what the other person said. To show you have really understood someone, say what they have just said before you tell them your idea. _________. By looking at the other person in the eye, you are showing that you are interested in what they're saying. This also helps you listen more carefully.
16．How many ways does the writer mention to improve our talking skills
A．Two. B．Threes. C．Four. D．Five.
17．Repeating others' words is a way to _________.
A．keep the conversation going B．show your understanding
C．give your opinions D．start a new topic
18．Which of the following can best fit the blank in the story
A．Keep eye contact. B．Show what you are interested in.
C．Talk about hobbies. D．Use proper body language.
三、(B)
With the development of technology over the years, people have more ways to get the news around the world. Newspaper, TV and radio news are popular among the older age groups, but many young people prefer social media (社交媒体) apps such as Instagram; TikTok or YouTube to get the latest news.
A recent report shows that the number of people in the UK watching news on TikTok in 2022 is 3.9 million, up from 800,000 in 2020. And 29% of UK teenagers use Instagram to get the news. But are social media apps a proper news source (来源)
For some, especially youngsters, social media apps are a great way to get news. Many people use social media apps every day, so they can quickly get the latest news on Instagram or TikTok.
The news is also shown in a user-friendly way, such as a short and lively post of video, which makes it easier to understand. This means people are more likely to take in more news than just reading about it.
Social media apps can also bring you news stories that you can't find on TV or newspaper. They provide a platform for different voices, such as people's experiences during big events.
________ In a recent report by Ofcom, a media regulator (监管机构) from the UK, 63% of TikTok users say they often get news that is clearly false. News from local newspaper or TV station is carefully checked before it comes out, but other people who post news online might not do this.
Besides, smart phones make it much easier to get more news and stories online, so it seems there is no stop of reading on social media apps. Research shows that people in the UK spent 108 minutes a day on social media apps. If people get their news from a newspaper or the TV, they will get a much-needed social media break.
News on social media may bring people an easy way to receive news. However, it still has a long way to go before it can finally become a suitable news source. Until then, people, especially youngsters, should think twice before believing any news.
19．News on social media is ________.
A．welcome by the old B．hard to understand
C．quite fast to receive D．the same as news on TV
20．Which of the following sentences can be put in the ________
A．People think news online is important.
B．News online can also be untrue.
C．People always believe news online.
D．We can't spend much time online.
21．The writer is ________ about getting news on social media.
A．supportive B．agreeable C．thankful D．careful
22．The structure of the passage may be ________.
A． B．
C． D．
四、(C)
"Henry! Knock it off! If you do that one more time, I'm going to throw you out of this boat," warned Cameron angrily.
"Yeah, right," said Henry and half-heartedly rowed the boat up the river. Henry and Cameron were chosen to be partners, but they certainly weren't friends. Cameron looked down on Henry and spent his time at summer camp keeping away from him. Henry never followed the rules, and that drove Cameron crazy.
Cameron hated the fact that the boat ride was at least 5 miles long. Just then Cameron felt some small drops of water again on his neck.
"Henry!" shouted Cameron loudly. "I said to leave me alone."
"I'm not doing anything!" answered Henry coolly. "If you look up, you will see that Mother Nature is touching you with water."
Sure enough, when Cameron looked up, he could see light rain coming down. Things got quiet in the boat after that. Before long, the small drops turned into large ones, and thunder and lightning began racing across the sky. Cameron didn't know what to do. All he remembered was hearing stories about never to be on the water during a lightning storm.
There was nothing in sight. Where could they get shelter At that moment, Henry took over. He guided Cameron to control the boat towards some small wooden houses up ahead. By the time they reached the houses, they were all wet. Lightning continued to flash and they took shelter in the house.
23．According to the story, Cameron and Henry _________.
A．both enjoyed the boat ride B．worked together to solve a problem
C．were friends with each other D．knew each other for a long time
24．Why didn't Cameron like Henry
A．Because Henry rowed the boat half-heartedly.
B．Because Henry warned Cameron angrily.
C．Because Henry always broke the rules.
D．Because Henry was crazy about rowing.
25．What is the meaning of the underlined phrase "get shelter" in the last paragraph
A．get some food to eat B．get a place to stay safe
C．get someone's help D．get some water to drink
26．According to the passage, which is the right order

Hey! The people of the Earth! Can you hear this radio message Don't be afraid! We come in peace from another planet. We are your cousins. We are men, as you are. You will recognize us when we meet.
You will see a huge spaceship, a few hours from now. We are flying towards the solar system (太阳系) almost as fast as this radio message. Our ancestors and yours shared the sun ten million years ago. I'm sure you have forgotten your history while we have remembered ours.
Our ancestors lived on the Earth when dinosaurs were dying. Sadly, they could hardly save them. Your planet was very warm then. Our ancestors believed it would make a nice home for them.
They were wrong. Though we were masters of space, we knew so little about the Earth.
For millions of summers - there were no winters in those ancient days - the Earth had rapid development. But two million years ago, the Earth began to change. The temperatures fell quickly. The ground was covered with snow and ice. At that time, however, our ancestors knew little about that. They believed there was just a strange disease spreading on the earth. The disease wouldn't cause death to them, but it would bring much pain and do harm to men's health.
The looks of many of our ancestors started to change. Many newborns were born with long wings and could fly fast. Some people were immune to (对……免疫) the ‘disease'. As a result, within a few centuries, the world split into two groups -- almost two species (人种).
The two groups were jealous (嫉妒) of each other. Finally, a world war broke out. Meanwhile, the temperatures were even lower. In the end, some people escaped from the Earth.
We wanted to keep in touch with those who chose to stay on the Earth, but we failed. A few years ago, we happened to know that many of you had survived (幸存). We picked up your radio signals and found that you had long been living a peaceful life.
Now, we are coming to greet you, our long-lost relatives. It's time for our reunion! Looking forward to seeing you soon!
27．The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 3 probably refers to ________.
A．dying dinosaurs B．your planets
C．your cousins D．our ancestors
28．Which of the following statement is correct about the situation on the Earth two million years ago
A．The Earth kept developing with summers all year round.
B．The temperature rose quickly and people were dying.
C．People might feel very cold and suffered from a disease.
D．Our ancestors solved the problem successfully then.
29．The senders of the message feel ________ during the flight.
A．jealous B．doubtful C．positive D．awful
30．You may find the article when you browse the website—________.
A．www. B．www.
C．www. D．www.
六、任务型阅读(本题有5小题，每小题2分；共10分)
阅读下面一则趣味实验，将图片所示步骤A~F与小题相应的文字匹配。其中有一项多余。
A. B. C. D. E. F. Nervous water In this experiment, hot water acts like it is in a hurry to go somewhere. Steps: 　31． 　 Cut card or waxed paper into a 7.5 cm square. 　32． 　 Fill one jar with hot water and a drop of red color. Fill the other jar with cold water and blue coloring. 　33． 　 Add a little more cold water to blue jar until water rises just above the edge. Put card or waxed paper on top and press down gently. 　34． 　 Pick up blue jar and hold paper lightly as you quickly turn it upside down. No need to hold paper after you flip (翻转) the jar. 　35． 　 Put blue jar on red jar and pull the paper out from between them. Result: Hot red water rushes from the bottom to the top, and blue water runs into the lower jar. That's because cold water is more dense (密度大的) than hot water.

We need to talk a lot with our friends and family to build good relationships in our life. How can we improve our talking skills Here are four ways that might help you have better conversations with people. Never speak when the other person is speaking. If you do this, it's just like saying, "I don't care what you're saying. What I have to say is more important." Don't finish other people's sentences. Studies show that doing this will make people lose interest in talking with you because you're taking control of the conversation. Repeat what the other person said. To show you have really understood someone, say what they have just said before you tell them your idea. _________. By looking at the other person in the eye, you are showing that you are interested in what they're saying. This also helps you listen more carefully.

17．细节理解题。根据第四段"Repeat what the other person said. To show you have really understood someone, say what they have just said before you tell them your idea.重复对方说过的话。为了表明你真的理解了某人，在你告诉他们你的想法之前，先说他们刚刚说了什么"可知，为了表明你真的理解了对方，在表达你的想法之前，先重复他们刚刚说的话。故选B。

With the development of technology over the years, people have more ways to get the news around the world. Newspaper, TV and radio news are popular among the older age groups, but many young people prefer social media (社交媒体) apps such as Instagram; TikTok or YouTube to get the latest news.
A recent report shows that the number of people in the UK watching news on TikTok in 2022 is 3.9 million, up from 800,000 in 2020. And 29% of UK teenagers use Instagram to get the news. But are social media apps a proper news source (来源)
For some, especially youngsters, social media apps are a great way to get news. Many people use social media apps every day, so they can quickly get the latest news on Instagram or TikTok.
The news is also shown in a user-friendly way, such as a short and lively post of video, which makes it easier to understand. This means people are more likely to take in more news than just reading about it.
Social media apps can also bring you news stories that you can't find on TV or newspaper. They provide a platform for different voices, such as people's experiences during big events.
________ In a recent report by Ofcom, a media regulator (监管机构) from the UK, 63% of TikTok users say they often get news that is clearly false. News from local newspaper or TV station is carefully checked before it comes out, but other people who post news online might not do this.
Besides, smart phones make it much easier to get more news and stories online, so it seems there is no stop of reading on social media apps. Research shows that people in the UK spent 108 minutes a day on social media apps. If people get their news from a newspaper or the TV, they will get a much-needed social media break.
News on social media may bring people an easy way to receive news. However, it still has a long way to go before it can finally become a suitable news source. Until then, people, especially youngsters, should think twice before believing any news.
19．News on social media is ________.
A．welcome by the old B．hard to understand
C．quite fast to receive D．the same as news on TV
20．Which of the following sentences can be put in the ________
A．People think news online is important.
B．News online can also be untrue.
C．People always believe news online.
D．We can't spend much time online.
21．The writer is ________ about getting news on social media.

21．推理判断题。根据"However, it still has a long way to go before it can finally become a suitable news source.然而，在最终成为一个合适的新闻来源之前，它还有很长的路要走"可知，作者认为社交媒体上的消息想成为可靠的消息来源还有很长的路要走。由此推断作者对社交媒体上获取的信息持谨慎态度。故选D。
22．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，文章第一段总起讲社交媒体应运而生；第二段讲很多人会在社交媒体上看消息，并质疑社交媒体上获取的信息的真实性；第3-7段主要就第二段提出的质疑进行举证，解释。其中3-5段主要讲社交媒体呈现消息的方式，而6-7段主要讲有机构表明社交媒体上的消息是有假的；最后一段总结社交媒体上的消息想成为可靠的消息来源还有很长的路要走。故选A。

"Henry! Knock it off! If you do that one more time, I'm going to throw you out of this boat," warned Cameron angrily.
"Yeah, right," said Henry and half-heartedly rowed the boat up the river. Henry and Cameron were chosen to be partners, but they certainly weren't friends. Cameron looked down on Henry and spent his time at summer camp keeping away from him. Henry never followed the rules, and that drove Cameron crazy.
Cameron hated the fact that the boat ride was at least 5 miles long. Just then Cameron felt some small drops of water again on his neck.
"Henry!" shouted Cameron loudly. "I said to leave me alone."
"I'm not doing anything!" answered Henry coolly. "If you look up, you will see that Mother Nature is touching you with water."
Sure enough, when Cameron looked up, he could see light rain coming down. Things got quiet in the boat after that. Before long, the small drops turned into large ones, and thunder and lightning began racing across the sky. Cameron didn't know what to do. All he remembered was hearing stories about never to be on the water during a lightning storm.
There was nothing in sight. Where could they get shelter At that moment, Henry took over. He guided Cameron to control the boat towards some small wooden houses up ahead. By the time they reached the houses, they were all wet. Lightning continued to flash and they took shelter in the house.

Hey! The people of the Earth! Can you hear this radio message Don't be afraid! We come in peace from another planet. We are your cousins. We are men, as you are. You will recognize us when we meet.
You will see a huge spaceship, a few hours from now. We are flying towards the solar system (太阳系) almost as fast as this radio message. Our ancestors and yours shared the sun ten million years ago. I'm sure you have forgotten your history while we have remembered ours.
Our ancestors lived on the Earth when dinosaurs were dying. Sadly, they could hardly save them. Your planet was very warm then. Our ancestors believed it would make a nice home for them.
They were wrong. Though we were masters of space, we knew so little about the Earth.
For millions of summers - there were no winters in those ancient days - the Earth had rapid development. But two million years ago, the Earth began to change. The temperatures fell quickly. The ground was covered with snow and ice. At that time, however, our ancestors knew little about that. They believed there was just a strange disease spreading on the earth. The disease wouldn't cause death to them, but it would bring much pain and do harm to men's health.
The looks of many of our ancestors started to change. Many newborns were born with long wings and could fly fast. Some people were immune to (对……免疫) the ‘disease'. As a result, within a few centuries, the world split into two groups -- almost two species (人种).
The two groups were jealous (嫉妒) of each other. Finally, a world war broke out. Meanwhile, the temperatures were even lower. In the end, some people escaped from the Earth.
We wanted to keep in touch with those who chose to stay on the Earth, but we failed. A few years ago, we happened to know that many of you had survived (幸存). We picked up your radio signals and found that you had long been living a peaceful life.
Now, we are coming to greet you, our long-lost relatives. It's time for our reunion! Looking forward to seeing you soon!
27．The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 3 probably refers to ________.
A．dying dinosaurs B．your planets
C．your cousins D．our ancestors
28．Which of the following statement is correct about the situation on the Earth two million years ago
A．The Earth kept developing with summers all year round.
B．The temperature rose quickly and people were dying.
C．People might feel very cold and suffered from a disease.
D．Our ancestors solved the problem successfully then.
29．The senders of the message feel ________ during the flight.
A．jealous B．doubtful C．positive D．awful
