That evening, Lexi watched the news with her parents and little brother. She was relieved (安心的) that it wasn’t expected to reach their town. They would be fine.
However, something unexpected happened the next morning. As Lexi ran downstairs, her mom met her in the living room. On the TV was a picture of the local train station flooded with water.
“Lexi, you and your brother are staying home today,” her mom said. “The storm from the hurricane is causing flooding.”
“But I thought the hurricane wasn’t coming near us,” said Lexi.
“It didn’t, but it filled rivers with water and the water is rushing into the town,” her mom replied.
While her brother enjoyed the day off, Lexi grew worried. At lunch, their dad came home early and suggested the family should leave for higher ground right away.

You are eating a piece of food. Suddenly, it gets stuck in your throat. Air cannot move in or out, so you cannot breathe. This dangerous situation is called choking. A choking person can die within a few minutes if no one acts to help. So, it is important to know what to do when someone is choking.
If a choking person can cough forcefully…
Let him or her keep coughing. Sometimes, a strong cough is enough to push out the object.
If the person can’t cough forcefully…
Call 120 at once. At the same time, you can try to help the person using the HEIMLICH MANEUVER.
·Step 1 Give five back blows. Stand behind the choking person and put one arm across the person’s chest to hold him or her. Help the person bend (弯曲) forward, so the upper body faces the ground. Use the bottom part of your hand to hit the person five times between the shoulder blades. ·Step 2 Give five abdominal thrusts (冲击). Stand with one foot in front of the other for balance. Put your arms around the person and help him or her bend forward a little. Make a fist with one hand and put it just above the person’s navel. Hold your fist with your other hand. Push hard and quickly in and up, as if you are trying to lift the person. Do this five times. ·Repeat the steps. Keep doing five back blows and five abdominal thrusts until the object comes out or doctors arrive.

Recently, Mo Yan, the 71-year-old Chinese Nobel Prize winner, has made headlines again because of his new book, Oh, People.
The book is made up of 81 short stories. The shortest has only about 200 Chinese characters, and most stories take only five to ten minutes to finish. This gives readers an experience like watching short videos: The book allows readers to “scroll through it” like they scroll through short videos on their phones.
The idea came from Mo’s own experience. “I love watching short videos like everyone else,” he said. “I try to limit (限制) myself to half an hour a day, but before I know it, three hours have passed.” This made him wonder: Could a book hold people’s attention in the same way In Oh, People, Mo mixes together all kinds of stories, such as childhood memories and local folklore (民间传说). You never know what kind of story will come next.
Oh, People is Mo’s first book in six years. It quickly became a bestseller. But not everyone is sure it’s a good thing: Some people worry that even China’s best writers are giving in to fragmented reading (碎片化阅读). Others argue that this form isn’t completely new—it goes back to the old Chinese note-style novel.
Mo simply sees it as another way to write about life. Literature is not dead if it can keep changing. Nowadays, writers may need new ways to reach readers. Mo shows that short fiction can still make readers stop and think.
36. Oh, People is ________.
A．a book about short videos B．a collection of short stories
C．a book about mobile phones D．a collection of Chinese characters
37. The underlined words “scroll through it” are the closest in meaning to ________.
A．read it quickly B．watch it carefully C．move it around D．turn it over
38. In Oh, People, Mo Yan holds readers’ attention by ________.
A．sharing his own experience B．setting daily time limits
C．mixing different story types D．introducing local folklore
39. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A．Writing process of the book. B．Different opinions on the book.
C．Great success of the book. D．Literary tradition of the book.
40. What is the best title for the passage
A．Videos Replace Books B．Reading Loses Meaning
C．Readers Stop Thinking D．Literature Meets Change
D
The northern lights, also called the aurora borealis, are one of the planet’s most amazing natural wonders. For ages, facing the freezing cold, explorers have traveled across the world, all to have a look at their beauty. But how does this magical light show actually happen
The picture on the right shows how it forms. The sun keeps sending out particles into space. When the particles travel towards the Earth, they meet Earth’s magnetic field. Acting like a protective cover, Earth’s magnetic field stops most particles from reaching the Earth. However, it is weaker at the North and South Poles. So some particles get in near the Poles and collide (撞击) with gases in the air. The collisions make the gases give off energy in the form of light. This light is the aurora.
The colors of auroras depend on the type of gas and the height of the collisions. Green, the most common color, comes from oxygen (氧气) at medium heights (about 100~200 km). Red comes from oxygen higher up, but it is less common. Nitrogen (氮气) produces blue and purple, usually at lower heights.
In the past, auroras were seen as mysteries. Today, with modern technology, scientists can even predict when they will appear. Studying auroras helps scientists learn about Earth’s magnetic field and solar activity. It also helps protect satellites in space. The aurora is more than just a beautiful sight—it is a connection between Earth and the Sun, showing the amazing beauty of nature.
41. The aurora borealis is a kind of ________.
A．extreme weather B．natural light C．scientific exploration D．magic trick
42. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A．The sun. B．The gas in the air. C．The particle. D．Earth’s magnetic field.
43. Which of the following shows how the aurora forms
① Some particles get in near the poles. ② Particles hit gases and the gases give off energy.
③ Earth’s magnetic field stops most particles.
④ The sun keeps sending out particles into space.
A．④→②→①→③ B．④→②→③→① C．④→③→①→② D．④→①→②→③
44. When particles collide with oxygen at a height of about 300 km, ________ auroras will probably appear.
A．red B．green C．blue D．purple
45. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph
A．To describe the influence of the sun on the earth.
B．To explain how ancient people discovered auroras.
C．To show the scientific importance of studying auroras.
D．To tell readers how to predict the appearance of auroras.

A Small Step, A Big Difference
Dear teachers and fellow students,
I’m glad to share my story with you. This term, I took a small step to stop procrastinating and finish homework on time every day.
At the beginning of this term, I always put off my schoolwork and stayed up late. One day I made a small plan: finish all homework before watching videos. It was only a tiny change, but it brought a big difference. I no longer felt tired in class, and my grades improved little by little.
This small step taught me that every little action can change us greatly. A small step today will create a big difference in our future. Thank you!
