A
Have you ever heard the saying “Don’t judge (判断) a book by its cover” Well, in Chinese, we have an expression called “yǐ mào qǔ rén”.
Imagine you meet someone new at school. They might look different from you in hair, clothes, or looks. It’s important not to make any judgments about them just because of how they look.
Sometimes, people make a mistake by judging others by their looks. They might think someone is mean (刻薄) or unfriendly just because they have a serious face or wear unusual clothes. But what meets the eye isn’t always the truth!
In fact, people are like books with many, many pages. We need to read more and more pages to understand them. That means getting to know them, talking to them, and learning about their interests and personalities (个性).
Think about your best friends. When you met them for the first time, you might not have known they would become your best friends. But as you spent time together and got to know each other, you realized how amazing they are.
By not judging people by their looks, we’ll open our hearts to new people in our lives. We start to understand and treasure the differences between us, like different cultures, backgrounds (出身背景) and ways of thinking.
So, let’s keep an open mind and be nice to everyone we meet. Let’s treat (对待) others with kindness and fairness, no matter how they look. When we do that, we make a world where everyone feels important and accepted for who they are. After all, the most amazing things are hidden-within every one of us!
31. How does the writer start the passage
A. By telling a story. B. By giving a saying.
C. By answering a question. D. By showing a report.
32. The underlined part “what meets the eye isn’t always the truth” in Paragraph 3 means ______.
A. sometimes seeing is believing B. we should always trust our eyes
C. sometimes we can’t trust our ears D. sometimes things aren’t what they seem
33. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to (指的是)
A. Pages. B. Books. C. People. D. Facts.
34. What will happen if we don’t judge people by their looks
A. We’ll have a better memory. B. We’ll have more friends.
C. We’ll face fewer worries. D. We’ll be more understanding.
35. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph
A. We should trust every stranger.
B. We should treat others with kindness no matter how they look.
C. We should make friends with people who are different from us.
D. We should encourage people to accept themselves for who they are.

Nepal is said to be “the kingdom of snow mountains”. It’s a great country for hiking. What’s more, its historical and cultural sites are well worth visiting. So when is the best time to visit Nepal
Nepal has unusual geography! Mt. Qomolangma, the highest point on Earth, is partly in the north of Nepal, while Terai Plain is the lowest point at 70 meters above sea level. For such a huge altitude drop, nowhere else on earth could you find it. Because of its unique topography (地形), you will find in Nepal five climate zones. There are also five seasons in Nepal: autumn, winter, spring, summer and the monsoon (雨季).
The autumn months of October and November are the perfect time to travel to Nepal. During this period, you’ll see bluer and clearer skies. This period is the best time for adventure tours.
The temperature begins to drop in December and January. Winter is perfect for visiting the Chitwan National Park in the south of Nepal. You will get the best chance to see rhinos (犀牛) as well as Bengal tigers and elephants in the wild of Nepal’s forest.
During the springtime, from February to April, temperatures slowly go up. The days are longer and are perfect for hiking and adventure (探险) tours.
May, however, pushes the temperature a bit higher. The real summer is quickly cut short by the beginning of the monsoon season. The monsoon wind from the Indian Ocean begins to bring in rain showers from mid-June until September. You can expect around 3 to 4 hours of rain every day during this season.

Scientists have reported that Antarctica’s (南极洲) sea ice is at a record low level. That’s worrying because the sea ice is an important part of the Earth’s cooling system.
Antarctica is a great, icy land mass (冰陆块), and around it is the Southern Ocean. The ice in Antarctica doesn’t just cover the land. There’s also a large area of sea ice on the ocean. Usually, the sea ice covers the greatest area around September 23rd, as winter ends at the South Pole.
Scientists have been measuring (测量) the area of the sea ice in Antarctica since 1979. This year, the US National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) reports that Antarctica’s sea ice reached its greatest area on September 10th — almost two weeks earlier than normal. And the sea ice was at a new record low — not just by a little bit, but by a lot. The last time Antarctica’s low sea ice set a record at the end of winter was in 1986. And this year, there’s about 1.03 million square kilometers less sea ice than in 1986.
Scientists are still trying to understand what is driving the change in Antarctica. One possible cause is the rising temperatures of the world’s oceans. Scientists are also working hard to better understand Antarctica. They don’t know whether this is just a short-term problem, or part of a changing climate pattern.

41. Why is the record low level of sea ice worrying
A. Because the sea water will rise.
B. Because the sea water will be polluted.
C. Because the living things in the sea will die.
D. Because the sea ice is an important part of the Earth’s cooling system.
42. What does the ice in Antarctica cover
A. Only the land. B. Only the ocean.
C. The land and the ocean. D. All the mountains.
43. How long have scientists been measuring the area of the sea ice
A. Since 1986. B. Since 1979. C. For 33 years. D. For 40 years.
44. When did the sea ice cover the greatest area this year
A. In early September. B. In late December.
C. In late September. D. In early December.
45. What can we infer (推断) from the last paragraph
A. Scientists don’t understand Antarctica.
B. Scientists will continue their research.
C. Scientists believe the change is just a short-term problem.
D. Scientist have found out the causes of the change in Antarctica.
