When Leon Martin asked for his parents’ advice on how to become a UX designer (设计师), they both went silent. “In fact, I had no idea what he was talking about,” said Anne, his mother. “I don’t know whether he was talking about designing clothes, computer programs or a fancy brand of bike.”
Even when her 18-year-old son explained that it was something about “behind the scenes” online design, his mother was still a bit lost. “I felt like I had totally failed as a parent,” she said. “My job as a parent is to open doors so my children can achieve their potential (潜力), but now can I do that when I don’t even understand what their dreams are ”
_________ Research has found that more than 2/3 of parents in England are now facing the problem that, when their children express interest in new education and job choices, they may know nothing about them. More than 75% of parents feel it is almost impossible to offer their children good advice in such a fast-changing job market.
Michelle Rea did a survey of over 2,000 parents of secondary school students in England. She found that many parents were afraid their children hardly follow them. “We all know that parents’ opinions and suggestions play an important role in shaping and influencing their children’s career dreams,” she said. “But we usually depend much on our own experiences. And things have changed so much since most of us were at school.”
Bryony Mathew, writer of the Awesome Career Books, said the world was changing so rapidly that parents should not try to decide on certain careers for their children.
26．What should a successful parent be able to do according to Anne
A．Become a great UX designer. B．Do an excellent job online.
C．Develop their children’s potential. D．Realize their children’s dreams.
27．Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 3
A．Anne is not alone. B．Anne has bad luck.
C．This is very strange. D．This is very interesting.
28．What did Michelle Rea’s survey mainly show
A．Most of the parents in England were facing trouble in accepting new jobs.
B．Parents feared that their children would refuse to share their career dreams.
C．A lot of parents found it difficult to help their children with their education.
D．Children’s career future depend a lot on their parents’ working experiences.
29．What could be the best title for the passage
A．How can children make career choices
B．How can parents become career advisers
C．Should children take their parents’ career advice
D．Should parents choose a career for their children

In the past nine years, Li Jin, who was born in Guangxi but raised in Sanya, has made great efforts to protect the waters of Sanya city in Hainan. He is now spreading the knowledge of environmental protection through new media platforms(媒体平台).
Around 2014, he began doing volunteer work to clear rubbish from the beaches and officially registered(注册) as a volunteer in May, 2017. Li Jin immediately took the lead in a cleanup activity on the Sanya River.
In April, 2021, he used his own money to set up a volunteer service center which has 1,170 registered members who take part in activities without asking for payment. So far, he has spent about 3,800 hours on volunteer activities in over 550 events. More than 2,300 people have joined in with his encouragement. They've drawn the attention of both the adults(成年人) and the children to the importance of protecting the oceans and beaches. Since it was set up, his center has organized 51 beach-cleaning activities that have seen about 1,800 people join in. In 2021, because of Li's growing influence in environmental protection circles, the city government invited him to make a number of short videos, in which he uses simple words to explain how to protect the environment. Several of the videos have been watched millions of times.
“My volunteer work would be meaningless if I got paid. But the work itself is of great value. So I will continue doing the environmental protection work,” he said.
30.What is Li Jin trying hard to protect
A.The beaches in Guangxi. B.The waters of Sanya.
C.The wildlife on the Sanya River. D.The cities in Hainan.

Some children cannot wait to grow up. Because once you become an adult, you are free to make your own decisions. More importantly, you can do all those things that you cannot do now because you are too young. So, the question is, “At what age do you really become an adult ” Well, people become adults at different ages in different places.
In Australia, the 18th birthday is a very important event for young Australians because it means they can do almost anything they want. They can vote, learn to drive a car, get married, join the army and even buy their own houses. However, even if they can do all these things, most Australians have to wait until their 21st birthday to really celebrate becoming an adult. This is the traditional adult age not only in Australia, but also in the USA and the UK. It is their first year of true independence. Traditionally, people were given a key to their houses by their parents when they turned 21, meaning they could come and go as they like.
Even though 21 is the traditional adult age in many English-speaking countries, the law nowadays is different in each country. In the UK, you can join the army at 16 and even get married at 16 if your parents agree. Young people in the UK can learn to drive a car at 17, although they have to wait until they are 18 to vote.
In China, there is a different age for each of the stages of becoming an adult. You can vote and learn to drive a car when you are 18, but if you want to get married, women have to wait until they are 20 and men until they are 22. Chinese people celebrate important birthdays every 10 years—so when young people turn 20, they can expect a big party!
No matter what age you are, becoming an adult is really about learning how to be independent and responsible. Once you are finally able to take care of yourself and make your own decisions, then you can say that you are truly a grown-up.
34.Which of the following are truly adults according to the passage
A.Independent grown-ups. B.Married people.
C.People who can drive. D.People in the army.
35.What is the writer's opinion about the age when people become adults
A.It depends on whether they can vote or not.
B.It depends on their own independence and responsibility.
C.It depends on if they are eighteen years old.
D.It depends on when they get the key to their houses.
36.People in Australia get the key to their houses when they really become adults .
A.because the law decides it
B.so that they can welcome their friends whenever they want
C.so that they can have big parties in their houses
D.because it is a tradition
37.Which of the following is the best title for this passage
A.Independent Grown-ups B.Kids and Adults in Different Countries
C.What Makes One a Real Adult D.Cannot Wait to Grow Up
D
Nobody wants to lose, but we must accept that losing is a part of life. After all, we can't win all the time. However, we can learn something valuable from every failure(失败). This may help us succeed in the future. So we must know how to be a good loser.
We must not be afraid of losing. When we lose, just take it with a smile and look on the bright side of it. Failure can't be avoided in our life. Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb (灯泡). When he was asked how he felt, he said that he hadn't failed 10,000 times but had learned 10,000 things which didn't work. We must know that history is full of examples of men and women who achieved success although they failed many times.
Losing is not very disgraceful. We must accept our failure and learn to take advantage of it. Remember that it can be helpful. Take action to walk out of it. When we lose, think about what we did and how we can improve. If someone else can help, we'll be lucky enough. Maybe he or she has been through the same experience before. Many people enjoy helping others solve problems. This can save us a lot of time in learning how to avoid the same mistakes in the future.
We should face our failure when we lose. There is only one winner in every competition. Some win, while some lose. That is a usual way of life. If we offer our congratulations (祝贺) to the winners and share in their happiness, we won't feel sorry for our failure.
In a word, being a good loser will help us to succeed in life. It might be painful at the beginning, but there are many advantages. Good losers set examples to us, and most importantly, they finally win.
38.In the writer's eyes, why did Edison achieve success
A.He got help from others. B.He happened to make it.
C.He avoided possible mistakes. D.He saw the bright side of losing.
39.What does the underlined word “disgraceful” probably mean
A.Bad. B.Personal. C.Dangerous. D.Interesting.
49.What does the writer advise the losers to do in a competition
A.Express the regrets. B.Forget the failure.
C.Share in the winners' enjoyment. D.Join in another competition.
第二节 阅读填空 （每小题1分，共5分）
I don’t actually remember the first postcard I ever received, or even the first time I sent one. ____41____ Or was it from my aunt who always seemed to be in faraway places I don’t know. But I do know there are enough reasons for sending a postcard.
Postcards don’t take up any space. You’re traveling around the green hills of Scotland or crossing Texas on a road trip and you don’t want to carry much, right ____42___ They’re light. They fit everywhere: between pages, in your camera bag, inside your computer case (箱), and so on.
Sometimes it’s the best way to keep in touch with (与……保持联系) family and friends. Sure, we’ve got things like WhatsApp, Facebook, and iMessage to stay in touch. But there’s nothing like a physical postcard that you can hold in your hand. It has a lot more meaning when it’s a physical object — one that you have to touch. ____43____
____44___ They help to create connections to places in a personal way. When you receive a postcard from a place you’ve never been — with a personal note from a friend… it’s hard not to want to share that same experience.
Most importantly, almost anything can be a postcard. No joke: ____45____ I was living in New England and wanted to show a friend back home what the autumn colors were like. So I found a red-orange leaf, and sent it off. I wasn’t sure it’d make it through the post, but it did!
A. The power of the object is stronger and we remember it longer.
B. Postcards are small and easy to carry.
C. I once sent a nice autumn leaf as a postcard.
D. Was it from one of my father’s work trips
E. Postcards also encourage us to travel more.

Nature is wonderful. It is our best teacher. It teaches us a lot and we are born to learn from it to solve p 46 . For example, scientists used what they saw in nature to improve our way of travelling. In days of high-speed train research and development, scientists were once faced with a noise problem. The trains pushed air through tunnels at h 47 speeds. So, when a train came out of a tunnel, it could be very, very noise. However, kingfisher birds hardly make a sound when they get into lakes or rivers. Engineers got a clever idea. They changed the front of the trains to match the shape of the kingfisher. Then the air could e 48 pass over the trains. The problem was solved!
The kingfisher birds’ example is just one that we learned from nature. Scientists study the smart models that nature can o 49 . Then they use their wisdom(智慧)and imagination to design new products. Nature provides us with e 50 possibilities to find wonderful ways to improve our lives. Learning from nature knows no bounds(永无止境)!

A
When Leon Martin asked for his parents’ advice on how to become a UX designer (设计师), they both went silent. “In fact, I had no idea what he was talking about,” said Anne, his mother. “I don’t know whether he was talking about designing clothes, computer programs or a fancy brand of bike.”
Even when her 18-year-old son explained that it was something about “behind the scenes” online design, his mother was still a bit lost. “I felt like I had totally failed as a parent,” she said. “My job as a parent is to open doors so my children can achieve their potential (潜力), but now can I do that when I don’t even understand what their dreams are ”
_________ Research has found that more than 2/3 of parents in England are now facing the problem that, when their children express interest in new education and job choices, they may know nothing about them. More than 75% of parents feel it is almost impossible to offer their children good advice in such a fast-changing job market.
Michelle Rea did a survey of over 2,000 parents of secondary school students in England. She found that many parents were afraid their children hardly follow them. “We all know that parents’ opinions and suggestions play an important role in shaping and influencing their children’s career dreams,” she said. “But we usually depend much on our own experiences. And things have changed so much since most of us were at school.”
Bryony Mathew, writer of the Awesome Career Books, said the world was changing so rapidly that parents should not try to decide on certain careers for their children.
26．What should a successful parent be able to do according to Anne
A．Become a great UX designer. B．Do an excellent job online.
C．Develop their children’s potential. D．Realize their children’s dreams.
27．Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 3
A．Anne is not alone. B．Anne has bad luck.
C．This is very strange. D．This is very interesting.
28．What did Michelle Rea’s survey mainly show
A．Most of the parents in England were facing trouble in accepting new jobs.
B．Parents feared that their children would refuse to share their career dreams.
C．A lot of parents found it difficult to help their children with their education.
D．Children’s career future depend a lot on their parents’ working experiences.
29．What could be the best title for the passage
A．How can children make career choices
B．How can parents become career advisers
C．Should children take their parents’ career advice
D．Should parents choose a career for their children
参考答案
本文是一篇说明文。文章以Leon进行职业选择时向父母寻求建议这一事件为例，对“父母是否应该为孩子们指定职业”这一话题进行了探讨。
26．细节理解题。根据第二段“My job as a parent is to open doors so my children can achieve their potential, but now can I do that when I don’t even understand what their dreams are ”可知Anne之前认为作为父母，她的工作就是打开大门，让孩子们发挥他们的潜能，由此可知，她认为一个成功的父母，就是要能让孩子们发挥他们的潜能。故选C。
27．推理判断题。根据第三段“Research has found that more than 2/3 of parents in England are now facing the problem that, when their children express interest in new education and job choices, they may know nothing about them.”可知研究发现英国超过三分之二的父母现在正面临这样的问题：当他们的孩子们对新的教育和工作选择表示感兴趣时，他们可能对此一无所知，由此可知，Anne并不是唯一一个遇到这种问题的人。故选A。
28．细节理解题。根据第四段“She found that many parents were afraid their children hardly follow them. ‘We all know that parents’ opinions and suggestions play an important role in shaping and influencing their children’s career dreams,’ she said.”可知Michelle Rea认为，父母的意见和建议在塑造和影响孩子们的职业梦想方面发挥着重要的作用，但她发现很多父母担心他们的孩子不听他们的意见，换句话说，家长们担心孩子们拒绝跟他们分享他们的职业梦想。故选B。
29．最佳标题题。根据最后一段“Bryony Mathew, writer of the Awesome Career Books, said the world was changing so rapidly that parents should not try to decide on certain careers for their children.”可知这本《令人敬畏的职业书籍》的作者认为父母不应该试图为他们的孩子指定职业。纵观全文可知作者围绕“父母是否应该为孩子们选定职业”这个话题展开讨论。故选D。

Some children cannot wait to grow up. Because once you become an adult, you are free to make your own decisions. More importantly, you can do all those things that you cannot do now because you are too young. So, the question is, “At what age do you really become an adult ” Well, people become adults at different ages in different places.
In Australia, the 18th birthday is a very important event for young Australians because it means they can do almost anything they want. They can vote, learn to drive a car, get married, join the army and even buy their own houses. However, even if they can do all these things, most Australians have to wait until their 21st birthday to really celebrate becoming an adult. This is the traditional adult age not only in Australia, but also in the USA and the UK. It is their first year of true independence. Traditionally, people were given a key to their houses by their parents when they turned 21, meaning they could come and go as they like.
Even though 21 is the traditional adult age in many English-speaking countries, the law nowadays is different in each country. In the UK, you can join the army at 16 and even get married at 16 if your parents agree. Young people in the UK can learn to drive a car at 17, although they have to wait until they are 18 to vote.
In China, there is a different age for each of the stages of becoming an adult. You can vote and learn to drive a car when you are 18, but if you want to get married, women have to wait until they are 20 and men until they are 22. Chinese people celebrate important birthdays every 10 years—so when young people turn 20, they can expect a big party!
No matter what age you are, becoming an adult is really about learning how to be independent and responsible. Once you are finally able to take care of yourself and make your own decisions, then you can say that you are truly a grown-up.
34.Which of the following are truly adults according to the passage
A.Independent grown-ups. B.Married people.
C.People who can drive. D.People in the army.
35.What is the writer's opinion about the age when people become adults
A.It depends on whether they can vote or not.
B.It depends on their own independence and responsibility.
C.It depends on if they are eighteen years old.
D.It depends on when they get the key to their houses.
36.People in Australia get the key to their houses when they really become adults .
A.because the law decides it
B.so that they can welcome their friends whenever they want
C.so that they can have big parties in their houses
D.because it is a tradition
37.Which of the following is the best title for this passage
A.Independent Grown-ups B.Kids and Adults in Different Countries
C.What Makes One a Real Adult D.Cannot Wait to Grow Up

Nobody wants to lose, but we must accept that losing is a part of life. After all, we can't win all the time. However, we can learn something valuable from every failure(失败). This may help us succeed in the future. So we must know how to be a good loser.
We must not be afraid of losing. When we lose, just take it with a smile and look on the bright side of it. Failure can't be avoided in our life. Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb (灯泡). When he was asked how he felt, he said that he hadn't failed 10,000 times but had learned 10,000 things which didn't work. We must know that history is full of examples of men and women who achieved success although they failed many times.
Losing is not very disgraceful. We must accept our failure and learn to take advantage of it. Remember that it can be helpful. Take action to walk out of it. When we lose, think about what we did and how we can improve. If someone else can help, we'll be lucky enough. Maybe he or she has been through the same experience before. Many people enjoy helping others solve problems. This can save us a lot of time in learning how to avoid the same mistakes in the future.
We should face our failure when we lose. There is only one winner in every competition. Some win, while some lose. That is a usual way of life. If we offer our congratulations (祝贺) to the winners and share in their happiness, we won't feel sorry for our failure.
In a word, being a good loser will help us to succeed in life. It might be painful at the beginning, but there are many advantages. Good losers set examples to us, and most importantly, they finally win.
38.In the writer's eyes, why did Edison achieve success
A.He got help from others. B.He happened to make it.
C.He avoided possible mistakes. D.He saw the bright side of losing.
39.What does the underlined word “disgraceful” probably mean
A.Bad. B.Personal. C.Dangerous. D.Interesting.
49.What does the writer advise the losers to do in a competition
A.Express the regrets. B.Forget the failure.
C.Share in the winners' enjoyment. D.Join in another competition.
参考答案：
38.D 细节理解题。由第二段倒数第二句中“he said that he hadn't failed 10,000 times but had learned 10,000 things which didn't work”可知,在作者眼中,爱迪生取得成功是因为他看到失败积极的一面。故选D。
39.A 词义猜测题。由画线词后两句“We must accept our failure and learn to take advantage of it. Remember that it can be helpful.”可知,我们要接受失败并学着利用它。失败也可以是有用的。由此推知,失败不是不光彩的、糟糕的。故选A。
40.C 细节理解题。由第四段最后一句“If we offer our congratulations to the winners and share in their happiness, we won't feel sorry for our failure.”可知,作者建议失败者去分享获胜者的快乐。故选C。
第二节 阅读填空 （每小题1分，共5分）
I don’t actually remember the first postcard I ever received, or even the first time I sent one. ____41____ Or was it from my aunt who always seemed to be in faraway places I don’t know. But I do know there are enough reasons for sending a postcard.
Postcards don’t take up any space. You’re traveling around the green hills of Scotland or crossing Texas on a road trip and you don’t want to carry much, right ____42___ They’re light. They fit everywhere: between pages, in your camera bag, inside your computer case (箱), and so on.
Sometimes it’s the best way to keep in touch with (与……保持联系) family and friends. Sure, we’ve got things like WhatsApp, Facebook, and iMessage to stay in touch. But there’s nothing like a physical postcard that you can hold in your hand. It has a lot more meaning when it’s a physical object — one that you have to touch. ____43____
____44___ They help to create connections to places in a personal way. When you receive a postcard from a place you’ve never been — with a personal note from a friend… it’s hard not to want to share that same experience.
Most importantly, almost anything can be a postcard. No joke: ____45____ I was living in New England and wanted to show a friend back home what the autumn colors were like. So I found a red-orange leaf, and sent it off. I wasn’t sure it’d make it through the post, but it did!
A. The power of the object is stronger and we remember it longer.
B. Postcards are small and easy to carry.
C. I once sent a nice autumn leaf as a postcard.
D. Was it from one of my father’s work trips
E. Postcards also encourage us to travel more.
参考答案：
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几点寄明信片的原因。
41.空前“I don’t actually remember the first postcard I ever received, or even the first time I sent one.(我不记得我收到 第一张明信片是什么时候，甚至不记得我第一次寄明信片是什么时候。)”说明作者已经不记得收到的第一张明信片是什么时候，空后“Or was it from my aunt who always seemed to be in faraway places (还是我那似乎总是在很远地方的姨妈寄来的？)”是作者的一个猜测，空格处应该也是一个猜测，句式上应该和空后的句子相似，D选项“Was it from one of my father’s work trips (是我父亲出差时寄来的吗？)”是作者的另一个猜测，句式和空后一致，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选D。
42.空前“You’re traveling around the green hills of Scotland or crossing Texas on a road trip and you don’t want to carry much, right (你在苏格兰的绿色山丘上旅行，或者在公路旅行中穿越德克萨斯州，你不想带太多东西，对吧？)”说明人在旅途中不想带太多东西，空后“They’re light.(它们很轻)”说明的是明信片的优点，因此空格处也应该是明信片的优点，且和前面的“不想带太多东西”相呼应，也就是说明信片很小，B选项“Postcards are small and easy to carry.(明信片很小，便于携带。)”说明明信片的优点，小且好携带，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选B。
43．空前“It has a lot more meaning when it’s a physical object — one that you have to touch.(当它是一个物品时，它有更多的意义——一个你必须触摸的对象。)”说明的是明信片是能摸得着的，空格处继续对这个特征进行描述，A选项“The power of the object is stronger and we remember it longer.(这个物品的力量更强，我们记住它的时间更长。)”说明明信片这个物品可以让我们更长时间地记住它，说的是明信片的优点，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选A。
44.空格处是本段主题句，由空后的“They help to create connections to places in a personal way. When you receive a postcard from a place you’ve never been — with a personal note from a friend… it’s hard not to want to share that same experience.(它们有助于以一种个人的方式建立与地方的联系。当你收到一张从你从未去过的地方寄来的明信片——附有朋友的私人留言——你很难不去分享同样的经历。)”可知，收到明信片会让我们想要去朋友去过的地方旅游，也就是明信片鼓励我们更多地去旅游，E选项“Postcards also encourage us to travel more.(明信片也鼓励我们去更多的旅行。)”说明明信片鼓励我们更多地旅行，概括了本段内容，可作为主题句，故选E。
45.空前说“Most importantly, almost anything can be a postcard. No joke:(最重要的是，几乎任何东西都可以成为明信片。没有开玩笑：)”任何东西都可以成为明信片，空格处作者应该举自己的实际例子来说明真的是什么东西都可以作为明信片，C选项“I once sent a nice autumn leaf as a postcard.(我曾经寄过一张漂亮的秋叶作为明信片。)”举的是作者自己把秋叶当明信片的实际例子，承接上文，引出下文“So I found a red-orange leaf, and sent it off. I wasn’t sure it’d make it through the post, but it did!(所以我找到了一片红橙色的叶子，然后把它送了出去。我不确定它能不能通过邮件，但它确实通过了！)”具体讲用秋叶做明信片的举动，符合语境，故选C。

四、语篇填词 （首字母填空） （每题1分，共5分）
根据下列篇章的意思及所给首字母写出所缺单词。在填写答案时，要求写出完整的单词。(每空限填一词)
Nature is wonderful. It is our best teacher. It teaches us a lot and we are born to learn from it to solve p 46 . For example, scientists used what they saw in nature to improve our way of travelling. In days of high-speed train research and development, scientists were once faced with a noise problem. The trains pushed air through tunnels at h 47 speeds. So, when a train came out of a tunnel, it could be very, very noise. However, kingfisher birds hardly make a sound when they get into lakes or rivers. Engineers got a clever idea. They changed the front of the trains to match the shape of the kingfisher. Then the air could e 48 pass over the trains. The problem was solved!
The kingfisher birds’ example is just one that we learned from nature. Scientists study the smart models that nature can o 49 . Then they use their wisdom(智慧)and imagination to design new products. Nature provides us with e 50 possibilities to find wonderful ways to improve our lives. Learning from nature knows no bounds(永无止境)!
参考答案
本文是一篇说明文。大自然是人类最好的老师,我们可以从中学到很多东西来解决面临的问题,文章举例说明科学家从翠鸟身上学到了如何解决高速列车出隧道时存在的噪声问题。主题语境属于“人与社会”范畴中的“科学与技术”主题群,涉及子主题“科学技术与工程,人类发明与创新”。
46.problems 根据语境及搭配可以知道,solve“解决”可与problem“问题”搭配,此处要用复数形式泛指所有可能存在的问题。故填problems。
47.high 根据“The trains pushed air through tunnels at...speeds.”和常识可知火车通过隧道时速度非常快。at high speeds符合语境。故填high。
48.easily 根据“The problem was solved!”可知科学家已经解决了噪声的问题,因为引起噪声的原因就是火车推挤空气,所以这里是指空气很容易地流过火车,不会产生很大的噪声。easy符合语境,因空处修饰动词pass,用副词形式,故填easily。
49.offer 根据全文内容可知大自然为人们提供了很多充满智慧的例子。offer“提供”符合语境;can后跟动词原形。故填offer。
50.endless 根据“Learning from nature knows no bounds!”可知,向大自然学习永无止境。因此可推断大自然给我们提供了无限的可能,让我们寻找很棒的方法来提高我们的生活水平。end“结束”,它的变形endless“无穷无尽的,无限的”符合语境。故填endless。
五、完成句子（每小题2分，共10分）
51. “林业英雄”郭万刚在过去的四十年里在腾格里沙漠上建起了一道绿色屏障。
Guo Wangang, the forestry hero, a green belt in the Tengger Desert over the past 40 years.
参考答案：has built 句中缺失的意义为“建起了”,“建造”的英文为build,根据时间状语over the past 40 years可知,本句为现在完成时,主语Guo Wangang为第三人称单数,助动词用has, 故填has built。
52. 去年,彼得在旅途中和许多人交了朋友。
Peter with many people on his journey last year.
参考答案：made friends 考查动词短语。根据句意及时间状语last year可知,此处应用一般过去时,填made friends。
53. 那位62岁的女士足够勇敢, 从湖里救起了一个小伙子。
The 62-year-old lady was brave save a young man in the lake.
参考答案：enough to adj.+enough+to do sth.足够……做某事,故填enough to。
54. 最后, 李华决定和朋友们去海边捡垃圾。
Finally, Li Hua the rubbish with his friends.
参考答案：decided to pick up “decide to do sth.”意为“决定做某事”;pick up捡起。时态为一般过去时。故填decided to pick up。
55. 我们难以置信地盯着燃烧着的大楼上升起的黑烟。
We stared in at the black smoke rising above the building.
参考答案：disbelief;burning 英语中表达“难以置信”用介词短语“in disbelief”,第二空表达的是“正在燃烧着的大楼”,这里应该用动词的-ing形式作定语,表示正在进行的动作。

As students, we may face many challenges in English learning, like word memorization andgrammar learning.To overcome them, consider these suggestions.
Firstly, instead ofmemorizing words and rules by root, we may read and listen to news, whichmay enable us to grasp meanings more effectively. Secondly, engaging in conversations withclassmates or foreigners may help to apply what we've learned in real context, so that we canimprove both our language skills and interest.
Remember, challenges enhance learning. I do hope those tips may help you excel in the exciting world of English learning!
