It was between Covid lockdowns in 2020. My daughter was struggling to care about online schooling. As a distraction, I suggested a driving lesson in my old car. She had her L-plates（临时驾驶许可证）but was unwilling at first because she has never been a fan of not being able to master something quickly.
Teaching a child to drive requires patience and a calm voice. After a week of car park driving, I told her to hit the road. During the second week of driving lessons, she mastered turning and finally remembered to take the handbrake（手刹）off before speeding up. By the third week, her fear had gone. She even wanted the radio on while driving. I told her she had to reach 10 hours without incident and then she could listen to my choice of music.
Each day, we'd drive for hours. It reminded me of all those trips when she was in the passenger seat and conversation would flow. Sitting side by side, she'd tell me many things. Now it was my turn to talk.
For the past year, we'd lived through hundreds of days of restrictions. With my daughter learning to drive came laughter. The more she drove, the more she loved to drive. In all those hours of watching my daughter learn something, and revel in it, I'd handed her the reins（控制权）.
My daughter has booked her driving test. I'll miss the hours we've spent, sitting side by side, learning something new about each other.
24. Why was the daughter unwilling to drive at first
A. She felt driving was unsafe.
B. She disliked the slow leaning process.
C. She wanted to spend more time reading.
D. She had fallen behind with her schooling.
25. When could the daughter listen to the radio while driving
A. Until she could drive around in circles.
B. Until she could make turns while driving.
C. Until she could drive for 10 hours without any difficulties.
D. Until she could take the handbrake off before speeding up.
26. What does the underlined words "revel in” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Take part in. B. Take pleasure in. C. Believe in. D. Give in.
27. Which would be the best title for this text
A. My Daughter's Driving Started B. My Daughter Passed Her Test
C. The Love for Our Old Car Mattered D. Driving Lessons Brought Us Closer
C
Beginning construction in 1632, the Taj Mahal is located in this city of Agra. It is considered one of the most beautiful sites in the world. In fact, it was named one of the new seven wonders of the world.
But it could become more difficult to see and to glimpse this glorious site because of pollution. It's an unhealthy, even hazardous（危险的）problem for parts of India. Delhi, Kolkata, and Mumbai were among the 10 most polluted cities on earth this week, according to a Swiss company called IQAir.
CNN's Michael Holmes explains what it all means. India's iconic monument almost lost in the smog in the city of Agra. We are facing difficulty in taking pictures of Taj Mahal due to pollution. The Taj Mahal is not clearly visible. Every year, when the temperatures drop and farmers bum their fields, the air turns toxic（有毒的）in many Indian cities.
Delhi is notoriously（声名狼藉）ranked among the world's most polluted cities. And the current air quality there has once again reached hazardous conditions, forcing primary schools to temporarily close and many people to work from home or just stay indoors altogether. The problem is so serious. A recent air quality life index report says poor air quality could shorten an average Indian's life expectancy by more than five years, if World Health Organization guidelines on controlling pollution aren't met. And it's even affecting one of the country's favorite pastimes.
India is currently hosting the Cricket World Cup with Bangladesh set to play Sri Lanka in a match in Delhi. But the air quality is so poor. Some players are wearing masks and both teams have canceled training sessions. The coach of Bangladesh's team says the conditions have not been ideal.
28. Which is the least polluted city according to. the text
A. Agra. B. Mumbai. C. Delhi. D. Kolkata.
29. What caused the air pollution in many Indian cities
A. Forest fires and farmers' burning. B. Low temperature and forest fires.
C. Global warming and low temperature. D. Low temperature and farmers' burning.
30. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Taj Mahal is one of the most beautiful scenic spots.
B. All schools were forced to close in many Indian cities.
C. Indians may have a shorter lifespan if no measures are taken.
D. In the Cricket World Cup, India is set to play Bangladesh in a match.
31. What does the author want to convey in the passage
A. To reveal the real cause for air pollution.
B. To express concern for the athletes in the match.
C. To prove the Taj Mahal has lost its charm in smog.
D. To show the impact of air pollution in India on all sides.
D
The Olympic Games are old and so are the fans. The median age（中位年龄）of American viewers of the games in Barcelona in 1992 was 39. That increased to 53 for the Rio de Janeiro games of 2016. Overall viewing figures are sinking, too. At the most recent games in Tokyo in 2021, they were a third lower than in 2008.
Thomas Bach, president of the International Olympic Committee（IOC）, has admitted that the games risk losing connection. To keep connected with society, the Olympics are expanding, adding what Mr Bach described as "youth-based" sports. In Tokyo, climbing, skateboarding and surfing were put on the schedule. In Paris this year, breakdancing will feature for the first time. Undoubtedly the youth will be excited. But if Mr Bach wants the Olympics to become more relevant to more people, the best idea would be to include e-sports.
So far the IOC has approached e-sports like an uncool dad. An inaugural（首次的）Olympic E-sports Week took place in Singapore in June. But the choice of events puzzled fans. The archery game, for instance, had been downloaded only 100 times before the tournament was announced. The most recognisable event, "Just Dance", is not considered an e-sport by fans. The experiment resulted in widespread doubt. Peak viewership was only more than 22,000.
E-sports command a huge audience. Attracting a big audience matters for the Olympics, which have seen the costs of infrastructure（基础设施）in recent years. The inclusion of e-sports would add income from media rights and sponsorship. Besides, the IOC has other reasons for changing its stand. For one, e-sports may bring Olympic glory to a more diverse group of countries and just like traditional sports, it can show three of the Olympic values: excellence, friendship and respect.
32. What can we know from Paragraph 1
A. The viewing number of the Olympics is reducing.
B. The Olympic Games are always popular in America.
C. The IOC didn't realize the problems of the Olympics.
D. The median age of Olympic viewers remained the same.
33. How do the Olympics keep connected with society
A. By focusing on more popular and contemporary events.
B. By adding more sports attracting the younger generation.
C. By cutting down the number of traditional sports in the Games.
D. By hosting the Olympics in more countries with diverse cultures.
34. What was viewers' attitude toward the inaugural Olympic E-sports Week
A. Unclear. B. Satisfied. C. Tolerant. D. Uninterested.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Differences between traditional sports and e-sports.
B. Advantages of culturally diverse nations in e-sports.
C. Potential benefits of including e-sports in the Olympics.
D. Suggestions on building a safe gaming environment for e-sports.

Four Most Important Eye Expressions
The language of our eyes is one of the most powerful and useful tools of non-verbal（非语言的）communication. 36 . The following are four most important eye expressions that we see every day.
1. 37
Researchers have long noticed that a sincere smile starts with our eyes. When we are sincerely happy, the skin around the corners of our eyes wrinkles（起皱纹）. But a social, polite smile touches only our lips（嘴唇）. The smile you are given is not in the eyes. For example, when a shop assistant smiles at you, offering help , you will immediately get the feeling that they are just trying to sell you something.
2. Shy eyes
People who avoid eye contact during a conversation are often considered as insincere. What does little or no eye contact mean then 38
3. Friendly eyes
When you are carrying on a conversation, looking the speaker straight in the eyes sends a clear message to him: 39 . This is why so many public speaking experts advise keeping eye contact with the speaker.
4. "Shut" eyes
Covering the eyes for a long period of time sends a message that you are trying to block out something that you do not want to hear. For example, a man who is asked to work on the weekend may cover his eyes with his fingers as he answers, "No problem." 40 .
A. Empty eyes
B. Smiling eyes
C. Such behavior is seen with liars
D. You are listening to him carefully
E. Anything from shyness to nervousness
F. What his gestures are showing is that he is not happy about it at all
G. So it is important to learn how to read the body language of the eyes

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mrs Smith taught seventh-grade social studies. She was the kind of teacher that just about everyone has had at least once: Scary. Her reputation was not unlike that of Dracula. Mrs Smith allowed no nonsense（胡言乱语）. She drilled us and taught us to take school seriously. She also introduced us to the concept of "extra credit”（额外学分）for a correct answer to a random question—and a frown for an incorrect one. Mrs Smith had been teaching for a long time and knew how to frighten even the naughty boys in the back row, including me. She managed to scare us all.
But I also had a life outside of school and had just discovered cheap trick（恶作剧）pieces—an ink bottle painted to look as if it had overturned, and a piece of shiny black metal shaped like a puddle（水坑）of ink.
Of all the people I could have played tricks on, I chose—Mrs Smith somehow. At the beginning of the class, before she'd returned to her classroom, I dared to approach her desk. I opened her grade book and placed the ink bottle and the black metal on one of the pages, proudly noting that it truly did look like spilled ink! Then I went to my desk and waited for the fun.
I wasn't disappointed. When Mrs Smith saw the items, she let out a little cry and looked for something to wipe up the ink. The trick had succeeded the way beyond my expectations. But immediately she discovered that it was just a piece of black metal. She picked up the "puddle”, then the bottle, and examined them. She looked up with eyes sweeping around the classroom with a deadly stare. Some of my classmates who had seen me set up the fake spill carefully avoided looking at me, so as not to give me away. Then came the unavoidable question: "Who did this "
注意: 1. 续写词数为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
After a few violent beats in my heart, I slowly raised my hand. ________________________________________

Mrs Smith was as strict as before, but something changed in me. ______________________________________

Last Friday afternoon witnessed an intense basketball match between Class 7 and my class on the school basketball court.
It was an extraordinary experience and something I will never forget. In the first half, my class was 10 points behind. Exhausted as the players were, they never gave up. As time went by, the score came to 66:67. During the last seconds, my classmate Wang Xin caught the ball, turning swiftly to get rid of the opponent and with a beautiful slam dunk, the ball fell into the basket. Everyone was on their feet, cheering. I was also caught up in the excitement and cheered so hard that I thought my lungs would burst.
Not only did the basketball match reduce us students’ pressure, but also taught us the importance of teamwork. I’m looking forward to activities like this next time.
写作第二节
After a few violent beats in my heart, I slowly raised my hand. Mrs Smith fixed me with a stare that struck terror into my heart. The whole classroom was in dead silence. I thought a storm of criticism was coming, but unexpectedly, she just laughed. “Well, it certainly fooled me!” she said, with a satisfying expression spreading across her face. She returned the trick items to me, and for a few seconds a sweet little old lady appeared right where Mrs Smith stood.
Mrs Smith was as strict as before, but something changed in me. She continued to lead us in our social studies with her serious attitude. I didn’t play tricks on others any longer and was more focused on my study. And she became a good teacher worthy of respect in my heart just because I started to understand that Mrs Smith had a warm heart under her serious face. That may have been the longest and most meaningful “extra credit” I received in seventh-grade social studies.

Helen Keller was born in Alabama in 1880. Two years later, Helen got an illness, which made her become deaf and blind. Her parents did not know what to do. In 1887, her parents got her a special teacher, that is Miss Anne Sullivan. Working with Helen all day, Miss Sullivan took Helen’s hand and spelled words in her hand. Helen soon learned to say what she wanted in this way. In 1900 Helen entered Radcliffe College. Miss Sullivan sat next to Helen in class. She spelled all the words into Helen’s hand. At that time there were only a few books for the blind. These were Braille books. They had a special alphabet made with dots that blind people could read with their fingers. Helen graduated from Radcliffe with honors.
Helen wrote several books. The most famous one is The Story of My Life. Her essay Three Days to See is popular. She also wrote magazine articles and made speeches all over the country to cheer up people. It was not easy to understand her, so Miss Sullivan helped to repeat what she said. Helen became a symbol of new hope for the deaf and blind．
