Hi! Let me introduce my hometown to you. Hai’an is a famous historic and cultural city. It lies in the middle of Jiangsu Province and owns all kinds of natural resources. It has many places of interest with a long history, attracting many visitors throughout the country. The local culture and food are also the highlights of the tourism.
In the past, Hai’an was polluted heavily. Both of the sides of the street were full of rubbish, which made the city dirty. Also, a great deal of waste pollution was poured into the rivers and lakes. But at present, many changes have taken place in my hometown. The rivers are much clearer than before. An increasing number of plants and animals turn up at times.
In my opinion, I feel glad to see these changes. I am firmly convinced that with our effort, my hometown will be better and better.海陵中学教育集团2023~2024学年度第二学期阶段性学情调查

Happy Rain on a Spring Night
Good rain knows its time ▲ ;
It will fall when comes spring.
With wind it steals in night;
Mute, it moistens each thing.
O’er wild lanes dark cloud spreads;
In boat a lantern looms.
Dawn sees saturated reds;
The town’s heavy with blooms.
—Translated by Xu Yuanchong
This famous poem, was written by Du Fu (712—770, Tang Dynasty) when he was living in Chengdu. Sometimes, he went to the farm in the field. The poem shows his care for farmers.
The very first word, “Good”, shows Du’s joy and love for the spring rain. The rain is good because it “knows” the right time to come. Here Du uses personification, as if the rain was smart enough to come in time for the farmers’ busy season.
The rain comes during the night without making any noise. Unlike the summer storms, the quiet spring rain finishes its task without being known.
Next, Du describes a peaceful scene to us. In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy.
It’s a sign that there will be enough rain during the night. The light from the riverboat makes the dark scene a bit livelier.
Finally, he thinks, the city of Chengdu will become beautiful when all the flowers bloom after the rain.
Which word is the most suitable for ▲
wrong B. early C. late D. right
Which of the following uses personification (拟人)
In boat a lantern blooms.
With wind it steals in night.
It will fall when comes spring.
The town’s heavy with blooms (blooming flowers).
What does Du Fu mainly want to show in this poem
He is thankful to nature. B. He loves and enjoys farming.
C. He expects the flowers to bloom. D. He is good at writing poems.

②What about people living in ancient times Did they eat takeouts
③In fact, there was takeout as far back as the Song Dynasty. According to history books, Emperor Xiaozong (1127- 1194) liked to order takeouts late at night. His servants then went around the city to pick up the dishes and bring them back to the palace.
④Ordinary (普通的) people also ordered takeouts. Restaurant waiters would go out into the streets and yell out which dishes could be ordered that day. After hearing the waiters, people could then place an order. Later, delivery workers would bring food to their homes. In the famous Song Dynasty painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival 《清明上河图》, a takeout worker can be seen on a delivery with food in hand.
⑤People at that time even had a special meal box for takeout dishes. It was a long wooden box with several layers. People also used warming plates made of two layers of porcelain (瓷). Hot water could be put between them to keep dishes warm.

What is an ocean like
Bubbles rise. Before your eyes is a world of color and beauty. There are colorful fish, coral (珊瑚), and other forms of ocean life. Its coral can be millions of years old. Its Earth’s largest environment—the ocean.
An ocean is a large body of salt water. Earth has five oceans that are all connected (连通). They cover more than 166 million square kilometers, or about one-third of the Earth. The Pacific Ocean is the largest. Millions of living things are found in Earth’s oceans. Almost all ocean life forms live in shallow (浅) waters that are 100 meters deep or less. Yet, most of the world’s oceans can be as deep as 1,500 meters or more. The bottom of the ocean is too cold and dark to support much life.
____________
Of all the animals in the ocean, the number of fish is the largest. Ocean animals have their own ways that help them live in their environment.
The ocean is a wild place. Animals live in a changing environment. Some small fish feed on plants, and large fish eat smaller fish. Still larger animals, such as sharks, rule the underwater animal world. So how do animals stay safe in this environment
Some fish have special tails. Waving their bodies, they can swim quickly along the ocean floor. If a stingray (黄貂鱼) senses danger, in just a few seconds it will cover itself with some sand. Its skin is the same color as the sand. This camouflage is a way that the stingray and some other ocean animals stay safe under water.

However, you can plan the trip by choosing destinations with ideal weather conditions. Find a destination which is neither too hot nor too cold for you.
I always think about the money when choosing a travel destination. 69 If planned well, the trip will still be perfect with less money.
I often choose a travel destination according to the activities I’m interested in. I always ask myself, “Why do I plan the trip ” “What can I get from the trip ” 70 If you aren’t sure about your purpose (目的), it may take you a lot of time to look up popular tourist activities in different cities across the world. That’s why you should never go on vacation without planning.

I have prepared several tips for you to choose the right destination. E. Choosing where to spend your vacation doesn’t have to be so hard. F.

“The milk tea in this shop is ... ‘YYDS’! I can’t help but stomp my ‘jiojio.’ Oh, and the ice cream! Ah! Ah! Ah! It’s ‘juejuezi’!”
This paragraph is not long, h 91 some people (your parents and grandparents, for example) may have problems understanding these words. What are the m 92 of “YYDS” and “juejuezi” Was the writer happy with the milk tea and the ice cream Or was she t 93 to complain (抱怨) about them
If people know little about online buzzwords (流行语), it’s d 94 for them to enjoy the happiness of visiting the Internet these days. In some ways, these buzzwords have made a difference to China’s social media (媒体). You might say it’s just a fashion. The problem is that you may depend (依赖) too much on these buzzwords and give up u 95 your own brain (大脑).
Just think about it: How would you describe yummy food You might use “YYDS” or “juejuezi”. How would you d 96 your favorite English newspaper You might still use “YYDS” or “juejuezi”. It seems that you can never think of a b 97 way to describe things when using these buzzwords.
Let’s take a look at how successful writers describe t 98 favorite things. The Chinese writer Lu Yao o 99 wrote about a full moon: “The moon appears quietly from behind the mountains. It sprinkles (撒) its pale light on the fields... Everything appears hazy (朦胧的), as if veiled (以纱遮盖).” The description is so wonderful that the readers can e 100 think of the beauty of the moon.
You may continue using “YYDS” or “juejuezi” when you are chatting with your friends. But you’d better not depend on these buzzwords. Do some serious reading and think about how you can add more details to the descriptions of your favorite things.

八、阅读与回答问题（共5小题，每小题2分，计10分）
One day, a farmer’s donkey fell into a dry well. The poor animal cried for hours before his owner finally found him. The farmer tried hard to pull him out from the well but failed. He felt very sorry for the donkey but after carefully thinking about the situation, he decided that he would not save the donkey. Since the donkey was too old and it was not worth the trouble of saving. So he invited his neighbours to help him bury(埋葬) the old donkey in the well so that it would make him end his pain.
Hearing many people coming to help, the old donkey was excited at first. As they began to scoop the dirt into the well with shovels (铲子), he soon realized what was happening. He felt very upset and cried sadly again. As the farmer and his neighbours continued throwing the dirt on his back, he suddenly had a good idea. Some time later, when the farmer finally looked down into the well, he was surprised at what he saw: every time the dirt landed on his back, he shook it off and took a step(步) up!
Soon, everyone was amazed when the donkey stepped proudly over the edge of the well and ran away quickly! It seemed that it would bury him at first, but it actually helped him later because of the manner in which he faced his trouble.
That is life! Just like the donkey, life is going to throw dirt on us, all kinds of dirt. As long as we face our problems in an active way, and refuse to give in to any trouble, each dirt is like a stepping stone with which we get out of the deepest wells. Never stop and never give up. Success is just on the way.
