For the past six years, Jordan Romero has been running after a dream. That dream has taken him to the top of the world's highest mountains.The dream came true when he stepped onto the top of the Vinson Massif in Antarctica (南极洲).
Jordan became the youngest person to have climbed the highest mountain on each of the seven continents (洲). These mountains are known as the "seven summits(峰顶)".
It all began when Jordan was 9 years old. He was attracted by a school wall painting that showed the seven summits. Jordan had never climbed a mountain before. But he told his dad that he wanted to climb them ALL!
In fact, Jordan's dad was an experienced mountaineer(登山家). From that day on, Jordan's parents trained him in top-level mountaineering and climbed every mountain with him. As part of "Team Jordan", they also became the first family to climb the seven summits together.
Training to climb the highest mountains in the world involves a lot of hard work. But Jordan has always been very active — it's just the way he lives. Still, there were times when he thought, "Yeah, I want to be done." But he refused to give up. When others thought he was too young to climb Qomolangma, the world's highest mountain, he just kept thinking. "All you no-sayers, I'll show you." He sure did. When he was 13, he became the youngest person to reach Qomolangma.
He encourages kids to "find your Qomolangma." That doesn't mean he wants everyone to start mountain climbing. He means find something you love doing and try your best to make it. "Anything is possible," Jordan says.

You may have heard that the Yangtze River is China's longest river. It is almost 6,300 kilometers long. As the world's third-longest river, its valley(流域) covers one-fifth of China's land area. The Yangtze River Economic Belt(长江经济带) covers eleven provinces and cities, making up about forty percent of China's total population and GDP.
On December 26, China passed the Yangtze River Protection Law, which came into force(开始生效) on March 1, 2021. It is the first law to protect a waterway in China.
The river is in great need of protection because something is wrong with it. For example, because of overfishing and water pollution, the river's Chinese paddlefish(白鲟) has died out there. There's also desertified(沙漠化) land and soil pollution near the river.
According to the law, fishing will not be allowed in all of the Yangtze's natural waterways, including its major tributaries(支流) and lakes. Those who are caught fishing will be fined(罚款) 50,000 to 500,000 yuan.
Digging sand will be strictly limited(限制) in the river. Many companies are digging sand along the river. However, this has led to lower water levels of the river, which has caused the river's water to decline.
Companies and factories along the river will need to focus on green development. If their activities do harm to the waterways, they will be moved away, the law says.
36.What does the first paragraph tell us about the Yangtze River
A. How old it is.
B. Why it's important.
C. What problems it has.
D. Where it joins the sea.
37.What do we know about the Yangtze River Protection Law
A. It was passed on March 1, 2021.
B. It came into force about ten years ago.
C. It has increased the population of the area.
D. It's the first law to protect a waterway in China.
38.What does Paragraph 3 explain
A. Why the river needs protection.
B. How the river is being polluted.
C. When Chinese paddlefish died out.
D. How the river will be protected.
39.What does the underlined word "decline" in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Become better.
B. Become worse.
C. Be hard to test.
D. Be easy to control.
40.What can we learn from the passage
A. People can't fish in the river's major tributaries.
B. Digging sand will not be allowed in the river anymore.
C. Companies along the river will be moved to other places.
D. Anyone who causes pollution will be fined at least 50,000 yuan.

六、书面表达
Dear everyone,
South China tiger is a kind of tiger that lives mainly in southern China. It is yellow and black with a round head. It has short ears and a long tail. It runs fast and is good at swimming. It feeds on all kinds of animals.
However, the number of South China tiger is becoming smaller and smaller. It is because some people kill them for their fur and bones. In addition, people cut down trees and the tigers have no place to live. Now the South China tiger is in great danger, so we must take action to protect them. We can make a difference by stopping people from hunting them. Besides, it is also a good idea to set up special organizations to improve their living conditions. Let's work together to protect South China tiger.
Yours,
Li Hua
