However, his health was worse. He had to give up his marathon on September 1, 1980. Terry died three months later, at the age of 22. In his short life, he raised $24 million for cancer research— one dollar for each person in his motherland.

The Dead Sea is located in the Jordan Rift Valley in southwest Asia. And it isn’t actually a sea. It’s a lake with a salt concentration (含盐度) of more than 30 percent. The Dead Sea stays so salty because of its special natural conditions. Each year it receives very little rainfall, and only a small amount (数量) of fresh water flows (流入) into it. And the hot weather around the Dead Sea causes the fresh water to evaporate (蒸发) quickly, which makes the salt concentration even higher. For these reasons, it is also known as the Salt Sea.
If you swim in the Dead Sea, you won’t see any sea life—no plants or animals. The living things can’t survive there because of the high salt concentration. That’s actually why it’s called the Dead Sea.
However, don’t let the name scare you. Even if you fall into the Dead Sea and can’t swim, you won’t die. The high concentration of salt in the Dead Sea allows anyone to float (漂浮) well, without the need for life jackets. In fact, many people visit the Dead Sea every year on vacation. If you walk along the shore, you’ll probably see many people floating in the water, reading books or magazines.
8. Which of the following helps make the Dead Sea so salty
A．Its connection to the ocean. B．A lot of fresh water flowing into it.
C．The hot weather causing fast evaporation (蒸发) .
9. Why is the Dead Sea called “dead”
A．Because no living things can survive there.
B．Because its water is too cold for life. C．Because no people live around it.
10. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．People can enjoy themselves in the Dead Sea.
B．The name “Dead Sea” brings danger to people.
C．Swimming skills are important in the Dead Sea.
11. Which is the best title for the passage
A．Plants and Animals in the Dead Sea B．The Dead Sea: A Lake Like No Other
C．The History of the Dead Sea

Minqin County (县) lies in the northeast of Hexi Corridor (走廊). As the county is between the Tengger and Badain Jaran deserts, it used to be one of China’s most sandy counties, with strong winds and sandstorms often hitting the area.
This spring, tens of thousands of volunteers came to Minqin from all over the country. They came to the place to plant trees with their own hands. Nearly 80 percent of them are young people aged from 20 to 35. They shared their stories online, making this small northwestern county with a population of 170,000 become wellknown.
Many people wonder why these young people choose to plant trees in Minqin. According to their comments, they get a strong sense of joy and power from the work. When planting young trees, they forget all their worries and feel peaceful and focused (专注). Some say the trees they plant grow with them, facing difficulties bravely just like they do.
In videos online, these young people carry tools and trees, walking in a long line across the desert. These volunteers show that small actions can make a big difference. It is a meaningful journey. This is how young people turn responsibility into action.

书面表达范文
Dear Tom,
You must be excited about coming to China soon. Let me tell you something about Chinese customs.
When you visit a friend, you should shake hands and arrive on time. It’s polite to bring a small gift. At table, old people should eat first. You mustn’t stick your chopsticks into the food. It is considered bad luck. Besides, it’s impolite to point at others with chopsticks.
I hope these tips can help you.
Have a safe trip, and I look forward to meeting you soon!
Yours,
Li Hua
