A Wildfire Changed My Life
Twelve-year-old Kini Varona was relaxing at home in Lahaina, a beautiful town on the Hawaiian island of Maui, on August 8, 2023. Outside, strong winds were howling. Then Kini saw dark smoke rising in the distance. Since Kini’s parents were both firefighters, she knew: wildfire.
Kini’s mom was already at the fire station. Her dad told her and her twin brother Kimo to pack for the night. Their two cats, Pumpkin and Pepper, were outside, but Kini wasn’t worried — they were outdoor cats. As they drove away, Kini watched the smoke growing larger. She didn’t know it would destroy her world.
Lahaina was a lovely town with green mountains and white beaches. But climate change had brought longer, hotter summers and more droughts to Hawaii. Dry grass could easily catch fire. Scientists called it “a ticking time bomb”.
On August 8, the “bomb” exploded (爆炸). Powerful winds swept across the island. Fallen power lines set the dry grass on fire. At first, firefighters got the fire under control. But strong winds brought the fire back. A wall of fire moved towards the town faster than a car.
Kini and her family escaped, but their house was destroyed. Over 2,000 buildings were damaged and 100 died—the worst U.S. wildfire in 100 years. Two weeks later, the family visited their broken home. Kini was shocked to see everything destroyed. Then—a flash of orange! Pumpkin was alive! Weeks later, they found Pepper too.
After the fire, Maui came together. Volunteers gave out food and clothing, and families opened their homes to those who had lost everything. One month later, Kini joined a traditional Hawaiian ocean ceremony (仪式) for the dead. “It made me grateful that Lahaina is not being forgotten,” she says.
26. What kind of natural disaster happened in Lahaina
A．Earthquake. B．Wildfire. C．Typhoon. D．Flood.
27. Why could Lahaina easily have fires
A．Because it had green mountains.
B．Because it was a lovely town.
C．Because climate change brought droughts.
D．Because many people lived there.
28. What does “a ticking time bomb” most likely mean
A．A tool used by scientists.
B．Something certain to cause trouble.
C．A warning system for fires.
D．A fire that had already started.
29. When Kini saw “a flash of orange,” she most likely felt _________.
A．calm and relaxed
B．angry and puzzled
C．scared and lonely
D．surprised and hopeful
30. What can we learn about the people from the last paragraph
A．They supported one another to recover.
B．They moved to other islands after the fire.
C．They waited for the government to help.
D．They lost everything because of the wildfire.
五、完形填空
The clothes industry has a big influence on the planet. It uses lots of water, energy and materials to make clothes.

All Grown Up By Alison Wassell
① I hadn’t seen Gillian for months, not since we started secondary school. I was spending the night at her house and couldn’t wait. But when she opened the door, she looked so different — wide jeans, short hair. “You look different,” I said. “You don’t,” she grinned.
② Then I saw Tracey, Gillian’s new friend. “Nice dress,” she said, but I could tell she was laughing at me. Later, I sat on the stairs while Tracey made phone calls for fun. That was when I heard them talking about me. “She’s a wet blanket ,” Tracey said. Gillian didn’t disagree. “We used to be friends, but she seems really young now.”

书面表达范文
Dear Lisa,
I’m sorry to hear you’re upset these days.
You’ve made new friends in your club and spent most time with them, so you’ve ignored your old friend Emma without noticing. You feel guilty because you don’t want to lose her. This is similar to Gillian in the story. Gillian cared too much about her new friend Tracey and hurt her old pal Alison.
Here are my suggestions. First, chat with Emma and tell her you still value your friendship. Second, hang out with both new and old friends together. Just like Gillian apologized to Alison, sincere communication can fix everything between you and Emma.
Hope things go well soon.
Yours,
XXX
