Bill stood at the microphone. The hall was completely silent. “Your word is onomatopoeia (拟声词),” said Mr. Thomas, the announcer (宣告者，广播员). “I got this!” Bill thought. He was 1 in himself because spelling was his superpower.
Bill’s brain fast-forwarded to the spelling bees (拼写比赛) 2 : first the county spelling bee, then the state spelling bee, and finally the national spelling bee. “Your 3 please, Bill ” He looked back at Alexa, another competitor, sitting on her chair and waiting for another chance at winning. 4 he missed his word, she’d be back in the game. But this wasn’t going to happen as Bill quickly got the right spelling.
Mr. Thomas presented the trophy (奖杯) to Bill. He 5 both arms into the air. “I’m the alpha-best.” Then he raced toward his sister, Daisy. “Ha!” Bill said, making the trophy 6 in front of Daisy’s nose.
She rolled (转动，滚动) her eyes. “You’re a 7 winner.”
“What’s wrong with celebrating my victory ”
Daisy crossed her arms and made a 8 face. “You know, it wasn’t cool the way you ignored (忽视) Alexa on stage. She tried to shake your hand.”
Bill shrugged (耸肩) . “I didn’t notice. 9 , county bee, here I come!”
“Don’t be too proud. In two weeks, you’ll be facing the best of the best in the county bee.”
“And they’ll be up 10 me, the alpha-best.”
Two weeks passed. At the county bee, students from different schools gathered around on stage and then took their 11 . After six rounds, the group of more than 100 students reduced to just seven. When it was Bill’s turn again, he just stood 12 for the longest moment and couldn’t remember any words. It seemed that his superpower 13 at that moment. Bill suddenly realized that Daisy was right. He was totally a terrible winner, and now a terrible loser.
The next day at school, Bill gathered up his 14 and walked up to Alexa.
“I’m so sorry for my rudeness last time.” Bill said.
“It’s OK. How was the county bee ”
“What a 15 !” Bill shrugged his shoulders and asked “Would you like to be my study partner for next time ”
“Why not ” Alexa said with a smile.
Bill’s frustration seemed to disappear and he was expecting to be the next alpha-best.

How Does Paper Get Made Why Is the Earth Round But the Road Looks Flat
Step 1: Paper starts from trees. Trees are cut into wood, and the wood is cut into small pieces called chips. Step 2: Chips are mixed with water and crushed into a soft, wet paste called wood pulp. The Earth is round.One trip around the Earth is about 40,000 km.
Step 3: The pulp is spread out very thin on a moving screen. Water gets away, and the pulp turns into a wet sheet that looks like paper. Step 4: The wet sheet is pressed by heavy rollers. Then it goes through hot dryers to dry up all the water. Our eyes can only see a short distance.The part we see is less than 0.0001% of the Earth.The Earth is already curved, but it's just too small to see.
Step 5: The dry paper is cut into different sizes. Now it's ready to become books, notebooks, or boxes! What shows the Earth is round ●Ships disappear from the bottom first. ●From higher places, we can see farther. ●People on mountains see the sunrise earlier.
16．What is the right process in “Trees→________→Paper”
A．Wet Sheet→Wood→Chips→Pulp B．Wood→Chips→Wet Sheet→Pulp
C．Chips→Pulp→Wet Sheet→Wood D．Wood→Chips→Pulp→Wet Sheet
17．Where is the pulp spread out
A．On a hot dryer. B．On a moving screen. C．In a wet paste. D．In a huge box.
18．Why does the road look flat
A．Because the Earth is not really round.
B．Because our eyes can see most of the surface.
C．Because the road is much bigger than the Earth.
D．Because eyes can only see a small part of the Earth.
19．According to the passage, which pictures show the Earth is round
① ② ③ ④
A．①②③ B．①③④ C．②③④ D．①②④
20．The two pages are from the same book. What is this book most probably about

The first hot-air balloon was created in 1783. The hot-air balloon is one of the simplest forms of transportation and is still in use today. It uses hot air stuck inside a huge balloon to lift passengers high into the sky. Why can hot air do that That is because gases are made up of billions of atoms (原子) or molecules (分子) that move around freely. The hotter a gas gets, the faster they move and the farther they spread out, making the gas expand (膨胀).
When the balloon is on the ground, the air inside it is not much warmer than the air outside. Air molecules inside and out are equally spaced (等距)—we say they have the same density (密度). When the pilot heats the air inside the balloon, the molecules spread out. The air in the balloon becomes less dense, which makes it lighter. As a result, the balloon rises. The warmer the air in the balloon gets, the less dense and lighter it gets compared to the heavier, cooler air outside. The balloon rises higher and higher. To bring the balloon back down, the pilot needs to cool the air inside it. He releases (释放) some of the hot air through an opening at the top. Cool air is drawn in at the bottom to take the place of it, and the balloon falls down.
Soon after the first hot-air balloon was flown, people began trying huge balloons that could carry passengers a long way. Called airships, some of these used hydrogen (氢气) instead of hot air because hydrogen has a much lower density than air. However, hydrogen burns, and it caused blow-ups. Today, airships are filled with helium (氦气), which has a low density but doesn’t burn.
21．What can we know about hot-air balloons according to the text
A．They can move around freely. B．They fly higher than other airships.
C．They’re the oldest form of travel. D．They work by heating the air inside.
22．Which picture best describes “The hot-air balloon is falling down.”
A． B． C． D．
23．Why is helium used in modern airships instead of hydrogen
A．It’s easier to produce than hydrogen. B．It’s light and it’s safer than hydrogen.
C．It can make airships fly much faster. D．It can spread out faster than hydrogen.
24．Why can birds use rising air to fly higher
A．Warm air rises and lifts them up. B．The Sun carries them upward.
C．The wind directly pushes them up. D．The ground gives them power.
25．What is the text mainly about
A．It tells the history and safety rules of old airships.
B．It shows how people heat and cool hot-air balloons.
C．It introduces how birds use rising air to fly in the sky.
D．It explains the science of hot air and its uses in flying.

Try to think about this: you sit down and begin to eat a tomato. Suddenly, the tomato starts to scream! This thing would never really happen. But a new study shows that plants make sounds when they are stressed.
Scientists in Israel did the study. During the study, they used microphones to record healthy and stressed tomato—the stressed ones were either unwatered for several days or had their stems (茎) cut. They then used a special method to show the differences.
What did they do The first two groups made sounds 30 to 50 times every hour. The third group only made the sound once every hour. The scientists said that thirsty plants began making noises before they were clearly dehydrated. And the frequency of sounds reached the highest point after five days with no water, and then dropped as the plants dried up completely. What’s more, the types of sounds the plants made were different according to the cause of their stress. “When plants are not stressed at all, they are very quiet,” Lilach Hadany from the study team told CNN.
Who listened to these sounds Scientists believed that animals and insects may listen to the sounds. For example, the sound can tell them that the plant is stressed and not good for laying eggs on. When an animal wants to eat plants, it can also use sound to choose which one to eat.
The scientist also listens to other plants such as wheat and corn. They also make more sounds when stressed. The study noted that sound recordings of plants could be useful in agriculture to make sure crops were getting enough water and to give water where it was needed most. Scientists say the study can help farmers in the future. They can better take care of the crops by “hearing” how plants feel.
26．A new study shows that ________.
A．tomatoes often felt stressed B．Some tomatoes could cry
C．plants could make sounds when stressed D．plants could communicate with people
27．Which of the following might be the third group when scientists do the study
A．Not watered for five days B．Stems are cut off
C．Untouched plants D．unstressed insects
28．The underline word “dehydrated” in paragraph 3 means ________.
A．lose water B．make noise C．give press D．drop off
29．Which of the right structure of the passage
A． B． C． D．
30．The passage is written to ________.
A．let farmers listen to plants’ sounds
B．teach people how to care for plants
C．call for help to save the stressed plants
D．tell readers plants can show feeling by sounds
三、信息还原
请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Eye contact (接触) means looking into another person’s eyes. 31 You may avoid looking someone in the eye when talking with them because you are shy. But in many cases, eye contact is the key to good communication. You can show friendliness, interest and understanding through eye contact.
32 For example, in northern Europe, direct eye contact is a sign that you are truly interested in what the other person is saying. If you look down and avoid eye contact, a northern European may think you are not listening to what they are saying. 33 Looking down when talking with an older person, like a teacher or a parent, is polite.
These differences can cause problems. Suppose that an East Asian woman meets a person from northern Europe for the first time. If she avoids direct eye contact during the conversation, the northern European may think her behaviour is strange. 34 In fact, the East Asian woman is most likely showing respect and being polite.
Avoiding eye contact can cause problems, but too much eye contact is not polite either. In many countries, looking at other people for a long time is impolite. 35
A．It depends on how big your eyes are.
B．This may make them feel uncomfortable.
C．It is a very important part of body language.
D．Eye contact can mean different things in different places.
E．However, in many Asian countries, it has the opposite meaning.
F．He or she may even believe that the woman is lying, or that she is not confident.

In a quiet village lived a boy named Tom. His grandfather, who worked hard on their farm, often said, “Every part of nature has a purpose.” Tom listened, but he didn’t really understand.
One afternoon, they prepared soil for tomatoes. Tom saw dry leaves on the ground and started to throw them away. Grandpa stopped him. “These leaves are important,” he said. “When they break down, they become natural fertilizer (肥料) for the soil. They feed earthworms (蚯蚓) and make plants strong.” Grandpa showed Tom how to mix the leaves into the soil. Tom also learned to put waste into different groups—fruit peels were used to make fertilizer for the plants, and stones were collected to build small paths in the garden.
When the sun goes down, Grandpa pointed to a broken rainwater barrel (桶). “Years ago, villagers wasted water,” he said. “During a long dry period with no rain, the crops died because there was no water.” Now, they fixed the barrel to collect rainwater for washing tools and watering plants. Tom said, “We must save every drop!”
The next day, Tom noticed solar panels (太阳能板) on the roof. Grandpa explained, “Sunlight gives us free energy. It powers our lights and charges our phones.”
That night, Tom wrote in his diary, “True wealth isn’t about owning many things. It’s about caring for nature. What we give to the earth, it gives back to us.”
