My name is John. Today I want to say something mainly about my daily life. First I want to say my life has changed a lot. When I was a child, I had a lot of time to play. But now I have to study all day. I used to play baseball and basketball with my classmates, but now I just stay at home and do my homework. I seldom watch TV these days, for I’m often busy preparing for my test. Books are my good friends. I used to read a lot of cartoon books instead of reading textbooks all day like now. I enjoy doing homework with my friends. But my parents don’t allow me to do that, because they think we will talk instead of studying. I disagree. We can learn a lot from each other. My parents are doctors. They expect me to be a doctor too when I grow up, but I want to be a teacher. Maybe I’ll be a doctor anyway, but I don’t think I could be a happy doctor.

The 2022 Qatar World Cup brought us wonderful games and let us see the great show of old legends and the rise of new superstars. Here are three students’ favourite soccer players.
Kylian Mbappe, who is a sports hero in France, is the most impressive player in my heart. He won the 2018 World Cup title at the age of 20. He was the highest goal scorer in this World Cup with eight goals. Will he become the new king of soccer I think so. The reasons are that he trains hard and never gives up when facing difficulty. And he is indeed no solo (单独行动的) artist，either. His spirit of hard work and teamwork cheers me up.
Zhao Xuanyu, 14
My deepest impression of the Qatar World Cup belongs to Lionel Messi, the captain of Argentina. As a great team, it was surprising when Argentina lost its first game against Saudi Arabia. People started to doubt Messi’s ability. However, Messi didn’t give up. He believed in himself and his teammates. They practiced harder than before and fixed their problems quickly. Finally, Argentina beat Mexico, Poland, Australia, the Netherlands, Croatia and France, and won the World Cup title. From all this, I now believe that where there is a will, there is a way.
Huang Yixiang, 15
I’m a huge fan of Luka Modric, the captain of Croatia’s national soccer team. He led his team to win second place in the 2018 Russia World Cup and he won the Ballon d’ Or in the same year. At an early age, he was a shepherd (牧羊人) and his country was experiencing war. But he fell in love with soccer. Through his efforts, he became more and more powerful. In the Qatar World Cup, he led his team to third place, but he believes that his country can win a World Cup title in the future. I not only enjoy his wonderful performance, but also his spirit- never give up and always keep his condition.
Lu Yinzi, 15
54. Which soccer player is from Croatia
A. Lionel Messi B. Kylian Mbappe C. Luka Modric D. Cristiano Ronaldo
55. What do the three players have in common
A. They never give up. B. They are all solo artists.
C. They are all from Europe. D. They all won the World Cup title.
56. Which of the following is true according to the article
A. Messi always won the game by himself. B. Argentina beat 5 teams in the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
C. Luka Modric lived a poor life when he was very young.
D. Kylian Mbappe scored 6 goals in the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
(C)
You either have it, or you don’t－a sense of direction. But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map while others can lose themselves in the next street
Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory (理论) is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it, we lose it.
“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, research director of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”
Jim Martland also emphasizes (强调) that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:
※ If you are using a map, turn it so that it relates to (与……有联系) the way you are facing.
※ If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree－something easy to recognize. Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.
※ Simplify (简化) the way for finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or wells in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.
Now you will never get lost again!
57. Children have the ability to find the way around when they are ______years old.
A. 5 B. 6 C. 7 D. 8
58. Which of the following things cannot be used as landmarks
A. Tower blocks. B. Hills. C. Wells. D. Bikes.
59. Scientists believe that __________.
A. people never lose their sense of direction B. everybody has a sense of direction from birth
C.some babies are born with a sense of direction D. people learn a sense of direction as they grow older
60. What may be the best title of the passage
A. A sense of direction. B. A research on direction.
C. People’s ability of finding the way. D. Scientists’ research on skills.
(D)
The two boys ran so fast that they seemed to fly. They ran into an old building and shut the door. They decided they should say nothing about what they saw. If they told anybody about Injun Joe, he might come and kill them. Tom wrote on a piece of wood:
“Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer agree they will never talk about this. If they do, they hope to drop down dead”
They cut their fingers and signed on the wood with their blood. Tom helped Huckleberry to write his name because Huckleberry couldn’t write. Then they buried the wood near the door.
When Tom got back to his room that night, Sid saw him but pretended (假装) to be asleep. Tom got into bed and fell asleep. The next morning, Aunt Polly was very sad. Sid had told her that Tom was out all night, and she cried. She did not hit Tom, and made Tom feel very bad. He went to school, but he sat sadly in the classroom.
At lunchtime, the news came to town that Dr. Robinson had been killed in the graveyard and a knife had been found next to his body. Somebody remembered seeing Muff wash in the river that morning. This was unusual because Muff did no wash very often.
Everybody went to the graveyard, They all thought Muff Potter had killed Dr. Robinson.
“He’ll hang for this ” they said.
Then Muff came to the graveyard, too. He looked at the dead man.
“I didn’t do it!” he said. He began to cry.
Then he saw Injun Joe was also there and lost hope.” Tell them, Joe! It’s no use!”
Tom and Huckleberry heard Joe tell everybody that Muff had killed the doctor. They couldn’t believe that he could tell such lies. Surely, God would strike him dead!
61. Why did Tom and Huck decide to keep the secret
A. Because they got on well with each other. B. Because they made a big mistake.
C. Because their teachers were strict them. D. Because Injun Joe might kill them.
62. What does the underlined word “sign” probably mean
A. draw pictures B. give gestures C. write names D. stick letters
63. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph
A. Tom often went out in the night. B. Aunt Polly sometimes punished Tore.
C. Tom didn’t sleep well at night. D. Tom didn’t hope Aunt Polly hit him.
64. Which is the right order of what happened in the story
①Dr.Robinson was killed in the graveyard.
②Muff wanted to prove he wasn’t the murderer.
③Tom and Huck buried the wood near the door.
④People went to the graveyard to look at the dead man.
A. ①③④② B. ②③①④ C. ③①④② D. ③①②④
65. What can we infer from the passage
A. Muff often washed things in the river. B. Tom often helped Huck with his homework.
C. Sid often told something about Tom to Aunt Polly. D. Injun Joe killed Dr. Robinson with Muff knife.

In Thailand, people do not eat with chopsticks, like in China, Japan and Korea. They use spoons and forks. 66 People will cut up most food before meals. If you need to cut up food during a meal, use the side of your spoon first and then use your fork.
67 People in Thailand use spoons more often than forks. If you are left-handed, keep the spoon in your left hand and the fork in your right hand.
People in Thailand like eating rice. The rice is not on the same plate as the other food. Each person eats rice on his own plate. It’s not necessary to finish all your rice or all your food. 68 If you eat up all the food on your plate, it means you want more.
69 Because the host will ask you two or three times if you want more food. It’s the same for drinks. During the meal, never empty your cup or glass. When it’s less than half full, your host or your neighbor will fill it again. 70 It’s polite to fill the glasses for your neighbors. That means you must keep an eye on your neighbor’s glass during the meal.
A. They often use knives.
B. They never use knives.
C. Never fill your own glass.
D. It’s good to leave a little on your plate.
E. The spoon is more important than the fork.
F. You don’t need to worry if the food on the plate is not enough.
