Did you know that some students don’t do their reading assignments (作业), not even short texts There are many reasons for this. Students may be bored or not willing to give special attention. They may be unconfident readers. Whatever the reason, it has to stop today. Here’s why.
Reading makes your mind active. It is like the exercise for your brain. When people get old, they become weaker and their strength leaves them. Exercise can prevent this loss. The same thing happens to people's brains (头脑) when they get older. Brain power and speed decline(衰退) with age. Reading can prevent these declines.
You can get help from reading in the near future too. Reading provides knowledge. Knowledge is power. Therefore, reading can make you a more powerful person. You can learn to do new things by reading. Do you want to make video games Do you want to design clothing Reading can teach you all this and more. But you have to get good at reading, and the only way is to practise.
Read everything that you can at school, whether you find it interesting or not. Reading adds to your vocabulary. Even a “boring” text can teach you new words. Having a larger vocabulary will help you better express(表达) yourself. You will be able to speak, write, and think more wisely.
Do not just consider a text unimportant because you don't know about it. Each time you read, you are provided with new ideas. Reading can change the way that you understand the world. It can give you a broader way of thinking. You can learn how people live in faraway places. You can learn about cultures different from your own.
Reading is good for your feeling. It can lower your stress levels and help you relax. You can get away from your troubles for a moment when you read. So the next time you get a reading assignment, take as much as you can from it. Then move on to the next one.
36. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2
A. Reading is exciting and relaxing. B. Exercise keeps your body in shape.
C. Reading prevents your mind declining. D. Age influences(影响) the body in many ways.
37. Why does the writer think that you should read boring books
A. You will make your teacher very happy. B. You will learn new words through reading.

38. What doesn’t the writer write about in the text
A. Reading helps you calm down. B. Reading teaches you about cultures.
C. Reading can lower your stress levels. D. Reading helps you prepare for your job.
39. Which is the writer’s main purpose in writing this text

①Every winter, Siberian cranes (白鹤) migrate (迁徙) from northeast Siberia in Russia to Poyang Lake in Jiangxi province, China. About 95 percent of the birds spend the season there. However, climate change has endangered the birds’ habitats (栖息地).
②“In some years, the Poyang Lake experiences floods , while in others, it experiences droughts ( 干 旱 ).
Both of these create food shortages (短缺) in the cranes’ habitat,” Qian Fawen, a researcher from the National Bird Banding Center of China, told China Daily.
③To help deal with the problem, the local government has built 70 hectares (公顷) of lotus roots (莲藕) in Nanchang to provide food during the winter for the cranes. The birds’ number has risen from about 3,000 to more than 5,000 over the past 20 years, according to Qian.
④Over the years, China has worked hard to protect migratory birds and wetlands. Known as the “Earth’s kidneys (肾脏)”, wetlands play a key role(角色) in cleaning water, preventing floods, and helping with biodiversity (生物多样性). The Wetlands Protection Law was introduced on June 1, 2022. It stops building work on important national wetlands and bans (禁止) activities such as overgrazing (过度放牧) and giving out wastewater.
⑤Thanks to these efforts, China has reported more birds wintering in the nation’s wetlands. In February, black-faced spoonbills (黑脸琵鹭), an endangered species, were seen wintering at Dongting Lake after disappearing for five years. Last December, Shanghai Chongming Dongtan Bird National Nature Reserve recorded more than 2,900 tundra swans (小天鹅) up from some 1,000 seen during the winter of 2021.
41.The bird number is rising in Nanchang because .
A. climate change doesn’t influence the place B. the city offers more food for birds
C. awful weather hasn’t hit the city D. the city becomes warmer and warmer
42.What is the main role (角色，作用) wetlands play
A. Providing habitats for migratory birds. B. Looking after water and biodiversity.
C. Saving endangered animal species. D. Avoiding overgrazing and water pollution.
43.Paragraph 4 is mainly written to show .
what China has done to protect migratory birds and wetlands
why the bird number in Nanchang rises quickly
when the Wetlands Protection Law was introduced
how China deals with water pollution and overgrazing
44.What do the examples in Paragraph 5 show
A. Migratory birds add biodiversity to China.　B. New bird species come to China for winter.
C. China has completed its wetlands protection.
D. China’s environmental protection is successful.
45.What is the structure of the story

注意：每个空格只填一个单词。(共10空；每空1.5分, 满分15分)
As the saying goes, “a good neighbour is better than a brother far off.” But noisy neighbours are a common problem in a society where many people live closely together. And this can be most important when you share walls or floors with neighbours in a flat. A noisy neighbour can lead to trouble in life, if noise goes well into night,or happens during early morning hours. This situation needs to be dealt with properly.
You should first try to tell your noisy neighbour about the noise. This conversation should be friendly and polite. It can begin with a sentence like “I am not sure if you realize…”. Explain the problem in an honest way, and ask the neighbour to turn down the music, or not to hold parties until 3 am. You can also add that you realize they hear your noise too, and you are certainly willing to try to stop anything in your behaviour that is making noise.
You should also know that not all neighbours are going to follow your requirement(要求), and some may act in a bad manner. If the noisy neighbours don’t change their behaviour, the next step should be to write the neighbours a letter. The letter should show your feelings and the dates when the noise was quite terrible.
When the noise continues going on, you should report it to the community, or even the police station, when it’s really necessary. Often, however, the problem is solved when the noisy neighbour knows you are going to call the police.
But you should know that you cannot always expect noisy neighbours to be quiet. When the noise continues going on, it is not wise to be angry or do something against the law. If you have completed the steps and letter, don’t hit walls or floors around in your home or turn up the music. Just
keep in mind not to get angry so easily and don’t stop communicating.
