66．Dear Mark,
How is everything going In your last letter, you asked me about my favourite athlete. Now I’m more than delighted to tell you the athlete I admire is Yao Ming.
Yao Ming used to be one of the most outstanding basketball players in my country, even in NBA. As a player, Yao Ming brought honour and glory to our country. As a person, he is loved by fans at home and abroad. As chairman of CBA, he has been making every effort to promote China’s basketball. Even though he has met many challenges, he never gives up.
Yao Ming sets a good example to me. He inspires me to face difficulty in life bravely. What’s your favourite athlete Long to hear from you soon.
Yours,

67．Para 1:
“A swimming black dog!” Katie cried out in surprise. First she felt a little frightened, because the dog was huge and wet. Then she tried to calm herself and guessed that “maybe it is just hungry.” So she offered her sandwich to the dog. After finishing its meal, the dog walked up to her and sat down beside her. She bravely reached out her hand to touch its head and introduced herself to it. The dog nodded as if to say “Nice to meet you, Katie.” From then on, Katie and the dog became friends.
Para 2:
Every day, Katie brought five extra sandwiches for her friend. She told the dog everything that happened to her at school. Sometimes, she sang or danced and the dog just nodded along. For the first time, she didn’t feel lonely. When her classmates knew there was a lovely dog swimming in the lake, they went with her to play with it after school every day. They spent time with her and the dog. All of them played games, sang, and danced. Having many friends gave her joy.

Text10：
Once there was a pianist in a bar. People came just to hear him play. But one night, a lady was tired of listening to the piano and asked him to sing a song. So he did. He had never sung in public before. Now he was singing for the very first time! Nobody had expected he could sing so beautifully! All the people present had a good time and the pianist was also very happy because he found that he could sing well.
He may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name pianist in a no-name bar. Now he found, by accident, his ability to sing, so he went on working hard on singing. Later, the pianist became one of the best-known singers in the US. His name was Nat King Cole. You, too, have skills and abilities that you haven’t found. You may not feel that your talent is great, but it may be better than you think. With hard work, most skills can be improved. Besides, you may have no success at all if you do nothing about your talent.

Can you think of something that has been around for thousands of years and is still used in different cultures around the world Something that fits this description is makeup.
Even though makeup might seem new, it was an important part of daily life in ancient Egypt thousands of years ago. At that time, both men and women utilized things like eyeshadow, eyeliner and lipstick nearly every day.
For a better make-up result, a wealthier Egyptian woman would first clear her dead skin using salts from the Dead Sea. Then, she would use a milk-and-honey face mask to wet her skin. Taking milk baths was also a way to make the beauty routine (日常) a more luxurious experience. After all of this, the makeup could then be applied.
But people in ancient Egypt didn’t just use makeup to look more attractive. They also used it for rituals (宗教仪式). For example, a black powder called kohl was used around the eyes to protect them from the bright desert sun. In fact, the Egyptian word for “makeup palette” comes from a word that means “to protect”.
These makeup palettes (调色板) were used to mix colored powders with animal fat or vegetable oils to make the different products. They usually had symbols (符号) of animals or goddesses on them. It was believed that the powers of these animals would be put into the makeup when it was mixed together, giving the wearer unusual talents.
Interestingly enough, makeup was also an important part of ancient Egyptian burial rituals. From life into death and beyond, makeup helped to shape ancient Egyptian culture. Even though makeup is still used in modern times, it is interesting to know that it is linked to the ancient world.
24．What does the underlined word “utilized” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．bought. B．used. C．removed. D．changed.
25．What would wealthy ancient Egyptian women do before putting on their makeup
A．Go swimming in the Dead Sea. B．Drink milk to wet their skin.
C．Remove the dead skin with honey. D．Follow a beauty routine.
26．What did ancient Egyptians think about makeup palettes
A．They helped deliver messages from goddesses. B．They protected them from bad luck.
C．They gave people special abilities. D．They brought the dead back to life.
27．What is the best title for the text
A．Makeup in Ancient Egypt B．Changes in Ancient Egyptian Culture
C．The Rituals in Ancient Egypt D．The Makeup Palettes in Ancient Egypt

When Jeromiewhalen’s brother finished the Appalachian Trail, he had no idea that his adventure wasn’t quite over. One of the friends he’d made along the way had recently turned 83. In order to celebrate his birthday, he invited the man over. As luck would have it, this lively 83-year-old man was none other than famous long distance walker, better known as Nimblewill Nomad! Known as a continuous hiker, Nimblewill first went off into the world of hiking over 25 years ago after retiring (退休) from his job as an eye doctor. Since then, Nimblewill has been able to find peace and go on his many travels alone around the country.
Over the course of his 25 years of hiking, Nimblewill has made many friends and has had his fair share of adventures, some of which has appeared in several of his books. But one of the most famous hikes of his life happened in November 2021.
Although he’s no stranger to the Appalachian Trail, having completed it in 1998, doing it again at 83 was nothing short of a challenge. In fact, it was a record-breaking goal! Once he finished, he would become the oldest person to hike the 2,193-mile trail.
Although he knew the difficulties he would face, Nimblewill happily took on the challenge. Each day he would record his trip and interesting things that had happened on his blog. He dealt with bad weather, bears, mosquitos (蚊子), and physical pain, but in the end, he completed the journey after 261 days.
At the moment, Nimblewill doesn’t haveany plans for when or where he’ll be hiking next, but that doesn’t mean he’s done. No matter what path he takes, one thing is for sure: There are always fellow hikers who will be there to walk right with him and offer him a place to sleep, take a shower, or even celebrate another birthday.
28．What do we know about Jeromiewhalen’s brother from the first paragraph
A．He once worked as a doctor. B．He was known as a continuous hiker.
C．He was quite familiar with the old man. D．He was friendly and warm-hearted.
29．When did Nimblewill complete the Appalachian Trail for the first time
A．58 years old. B．60 years old. C．70 years old. D．83 years old.
30．What can we infer from the third paragraph
A．Nimblewill didn’t think he would finish the hike himself.
B．The Appalachian Trail is the most challenging in the world.
C．The hiking of the Appalachian Trail is of great meaning to him,
D．Nimblewill regarded hiking the Appalachian Trail as a piece of cake.
31．What does Nimblewill’s story show us
A．No pains, no gains.
B．It is better to give than to take.
C．Fight as long as one has a breath in one’s body.
D．Opportunities always come to those who are prepared.

We may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices(装置) well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment — and our wallets — as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.
To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life — from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation — Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.
As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn't throw out our old ones. "The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house," said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. We're not just keeping these old devices — we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt's team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions（排放）more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.
So what's the solution（解决方案） The team's data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.
32．What does the author think of new devices
A．They are environment-friendly. B．They are no better than the old.
C．They cost more to use at home. D．They go out of style quickly.
33．Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research
A．To reduce the cost of minerals. B．To test the life cycle of a product.
C．To update consumers on new technology.
D．To find out electricity consumption of the devices.
34．Which of the following uses the least energy
A．The box-set TV. B．The tablet.
C．The LCD TV. D．The desktop computer.
35．What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices
A．Stop using them. B．Take them apart.
C．Upgrade them. D．Recycle them.

Katie had always felt like she never connected with anyone. There was no one she considered a friend. So, when her parents decided to move, she was okay with it. She didn't feel sad because she wasn't leaving anyone behind.
She was eight when they moved to a new town. It wasn't that different from where they had lived before. There were a lot of trees and kids running around outside, riding bikes, and playing. One day her mother caught her staring out the window at some kids playing. Her mom told her to go out and play with those kids. So Katie went out. She could see that they were all having fun and she wanted to join in but she was afraid. She tried to muster up the courage to ask them if she could join them but she just couldn't do it.
She decided to go for a walk instead. She liked how peaceful the town was. The people seemed nice and polite. Her stroll finally led her to the town's lake. She felt the rush of cold air hitting her face. The beauty of the lake was something to behold. She sat there admiring it and decided that this would be her place. She would come here every day and maybe one day, she would bring her friends here.
After school, she always stopped by the lake before going home. She swore she could stay there for hours, maybe even live there. If she ever got hungry, she always had food ready in her bag.
One day when she was writing a poem about the lake, she heard her stomach growl. She put down her notebook and her pen and got her sandwich out. She was about to take a bite when she heard a noise. This alarmed her. She hadn't heard or seen anything strange before. She looked around and suddenly she noticed that there was something black moving toward the bank.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2 .请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
“A swimming black dog!” Katie cried out in surprise.
