A ninth grade teacher asked her students to draw a picture to show their thanks for their Thanksgiving Day.
Most of the students didn’t come from rich families, but many would still celebrate the holiday with turkey and other customs. These, the teacher thought, would be the theme of most of the students’ art.
But one student named Douglas drew a different kind of picture. Douglas was often sad. When other children played with each other during break time, he would stand closely by his teacher’s side. There was pain behind his sad eyes. But what was it
His picture was different. He drew a hand, just an empty hand. Other children started to guess whose hand it could be. One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers raise turkeys. Another thought it was from a police officer, because police keep people safe. And others kept talking about the hand.
Finally, the teacher walked over to Douglas and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy said, “It’s yours, my teacher.”
The teacher thought of the times when she took his hand and walked with him here and there, and the times when she said things like “Take my hand, Douglas, and we’ll go outside.” Or “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.”

When you think of the sea, you may not think of Xinjiang. As is known, Xinjiang is often remembered as somewhere far from the sea with long hours of sunlight, a large Gobi desert, and mountains with an especially dry climate, unsuitable for seafood production because of the large amount of water required.
However, Xinjiang now welcomes a great harvest of local “seafood”, such as shrimp and crabs. The most important thing for aquatic products (水产品) is water. Xinjiang has many rivers and lakes with water from the melting snow and glaciers (冰川) of the Tianshan Mountains. “With the mountains on the side, there is no industrial pollution and agricultural pollution, which keeps the water clean and promote the growth of the fish,” said Li Chunyu, the head technician of the local trout farm.
Also, land in Xinjiang has a lot of salt. This is not good for growing crops. But “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”. The land makes the underground water salty. People turn the salty water into “man-made seawater”. They then use it to raise sea fish, shrimp and crabs.
Many people are worried about the safety of seafood because of the nuclear-contaminated water (核污染水). Some even feel desperate (绝望的) since they may no longer enjoy any seafood. Luckily, according to the Department of Agriculture, in 2022, the total output value of Xinjiang’s fishery industry reached 4. 2 billion yuan ($580 million), an increase of 921 million yuan compared to 2019. Now, some of Xinjiang’s “seafood” goes to many cities in China. It also goes to countries in Southeast Asia. It turns out that Xinjiang’s “seafood” is becoming a new and favorable (有利的) choice for seafood lovers.
52．Why does the writer introduce Xinjiang in this way in Paragraph 1
A．To introduce the climate and location of Xinjiang.
B．To lead in the real situation of local “seafood” in Xinjiang.
C．To describe the seafood industry in China.
D．To explain the reason why Xinjiang has poor seafood production.
53．Which word can replace the underlined word “trash” in Paragraph 3
A．Wealth. B．Pleasure. C．Litter. D．Property.
54．Which of the following makes it possible to raise sea fish in Xinjiang

【答案】52．B 53．C 54．B 55．A
【导语】本文主要介绍了新疆海鲜产业的发展。

55．推理判断题。根据“Luckily, according to the Department of Agriculture, in 2022, the total output value of Xinjiang’s fishery industry reached 4. 2 billion yuan ($580 million), an increase of 921 million yuan compared to 2019.”可知新疆的海鲜产业发展得越来越好，故选A。

A bell rings at 7 pm every evening in Mohityache Avadgaon village, in India, telling people that it is time for everyone to turn off screen devices (设备), like televisions and mobile phones. At 8:30 pm, the bell rings the second time, telling the 3,000 villagers that screen-free time is over. The leaders of the village introduced it so that young people could focus on their homework and not be influenced by funny videos or phone messages. However, some say that a screen simply allows people to get information — it is not harmful in itself. A person can decide for themselves when to put down a device. So should you set limits (限制) on screen time
Yes—screen time should be limited
Phones, computers and TV are great ways for getting information and lots of fun. However, they can be addictive (使人成瘾的) and some people need help to break from them. Even if people are chatting on their phone or playing online games together, they can still feel lonely. Screen-free time means people can connect with family and friends in the real world. It’s also a great chance for people to go outside and be active, which is good for their health. Too much screen time can lead to other problems, such as not sleeping properly and being short on creativity.
No—people can manage their screen time
Through devices like phones and computers, people can find answers to many questions. Screen time can be productive—you can read great works of literature (文学), discover wonderful facts or read about important things happening in the world. It is great for homework and curious minds. Electronic devices also allow friends and family to stay in touch. Most people naturally take screen breaks, for example when they eat or exercise. People should be free to judge for themselves how much screen time they should have.
Now that you’ve read a lot about it, tell us what you think on the website theweekiunior.co.uk/polls. Choose YES if you think screen time should be limited, or NO if you don’t. We’ll show the results next week.

【答案】56．B 57．C 58．B 59．D
【导语】本文讨论了印度一村庄实行屏幕时间限制的措施，引发关于是否应限制屏幕时间的争议，支持者认为限制有助于避免上瘾、促进社交和健康，而反对者则认为屏幕时间可带来信息和联系便利，个人应自由决定使用时间。
56．推理判断题。通读第一段可知，此段讲述了印度一村庄实行屏幕时间限制的措施，由此可知作者以一个真实的事件开始这篇文章。故选B。

59．推理判断题。根据“Now that you’ve read a lot about it, tell us what you think on the website”可知，作者想让读者在网站上写下自己的想法，由此可知作者写这篇文章的目的是收集关于是否减少看屏幕时间的意见。故选D。

Ⅵ. 任务型阅读。（65-67小题，每小题2分，68小题3分，共9分）
阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。
My husband, Tyler, and I decided to raise a guide dog puppy (幼犬). After attending several meetings with Anina Green, the guide dog club leader, I eagerly signed up to become a raiser and patiently waited for the arrival of my puppy. Then, one day, Anina informed me that I would get my puppy on April 27.
That day, Tyler and I went to Anina’s house. In the kitchen, we saw the puppy, Escort, sleeping on the floor. Holding him for the first time was magical. He was so soft and sleepy—and huge! Escort was larger than a lot of full-grown dogs.
We attended a weekly puppy kindergarten to learn how to train Escort. From the time we got the puppy until he was about 6 months old, he was on a leash (牵引绳). When we were watching TV on the sofa or brushing teeth, the leash was always in our hands. During the first eight weeks, Tyler and I mostly stayed at home, taught Escort orders, and held his leash.
The guide dog club is really like a family—a family with a lot of wonderful, well-behaved dogs. We traveled to various places together with these dogs. Escort’s first group outing was a trip to tour the city museum. We also went to a shopping mall, a baseball game, a fire station, and the airport to practice going through security. With all the help from our club, Escort went from a sleepy little puppy to a dependable companion (伙伴) when he was 8 months old.
When Escort was one year old, he could walk with a perfect loose (松的) leash, follow our orders and always make the right choices. It was time for us to drop him off at the Guide Dogs for the Blind campus to go through more formal (正式的) guide training and get matched with someone who needed him. We had fallen in love with the puppy and couldn’t bear giving him away, but we had to say goodbye to him.
When I see pictures of Escort with the woman he has been placed with, I feel very happy. It doesn’t hurt that he’s not with me—seeing him going on adventures with his new owner every day makes it all worth it. The thought that he will improve her life makes me very proud.
65．What was Escort like when the writer first saw him
66．What did the writer and her husband do during the first eight weeks of raising Escort
67．How does the writer feel when she knows Escort can help his new owner
68．What do you think of the writer and her husband Why do you think so (Please give two reasons.)
【答案】65．He was soft, sleepy, and huge. 66．They mostly stayed at home, taught Escort orders, and held his leash. 67．Happy and proud. 68．开放性试题，言之有理即可，参考答案：They are kind. Because they are kind to the dog and treat him like a companion.
【导语】本文主要讲述作者和丈夫养一只导盲犬的经历。
65．根据第二段中的“In the kitchen, we saw the puppy, Escort, sleeping on the floor. Holding him for the first time was magical. He was so soft and sleepy—and huge!”可知，作者第一次见到Escort时，他是柔软的，昏昏欲睡的并且巨大的。故填He was soft, sleepy, and huge.
66．根据第三段中的“During the first eight weeks, Tyler and I mostly stayed at home, taught Escort orders, and held his leash.”可知，在最初的八个星期里，作者和丈夫大部分时间都呆在家里，教他命令，并牵着他的牵引绳。故填They mostly stayed at home, taught Escort orders, and held his leash.
67．根据最后一段“When I see pictures of Escort with the woman he has been placed with, I feel very happy.…The thought that he will improve her life makes me very proud.”可知，当作者知道Escort可以帮助他的新主人时，她感到高兴和自豪。故填Happy and proud.
68．开放性试题，言之有理即可，参考答案：They are kind. Because they are kind to the dog and treat him like a companion.
Ⅶ. 完成句子。（每空1分，共10分）
根据所给提示，完成句子。每空一词，含缩略词。
69．Tom put his dictionary on the desk.（改为否定句）
Tom his dictionary on the desk.
【答案】 didn’t put
【详解】句意：Tom把他的字典放在了桌子上。根据“Tom put ”可知，原句时态是一般过去时，改为否定句时要借用助动词didn’t，后面跟动词原形put。故填didn’t；put。
70．Lily will tell her mother about her learning experiences abroad by Wechat. (对划线部分提问)
Lily tell her mother about her learning experiences abroad
【答案】 How will
【详解】句意：莉莉将通过微信告诉妈妈她在国外的学习经历。划线部分“by Wechat”表方式，就方式提问要用how“如何”，结合原句“Lily will tell...”可知，how后接will。故填How；will。
71．My father bought the car one month ago. (改为同义句)
My father the car for one month.
【答案】 has had
【详解】句意：我父亲一个月前买了这辆车。也可表达为“我父亲买这辆车已经一个月了”，根据“for one month”可知，时态用现在完成时“have/has done”；主语是My father，助动词应用has；buy为短暂性动词，
与时间段连用应改为延续性动词have，过去分词为had。故填has；had。
72．今年春节期间许多游客在西安城墙上散步。
During this Spring Festival, many visitors around Xi’an City Wall.
【答案】took a walk
【详解】对比所给中英文可知，设空处为“散步”；take a walk意为“散步”，固定词组；根据“During this Spring Festival”可知，此处指过去发生的事情，句子时态为一般过去时，所以此处应用动词的过去式形式。故填took a walk。
73．春分之后，白天变得越来越长了。
After the spring equinox, the days get .
【答案】longer and longer
【详解】表示“越来越”用结构“比较级+and+比较级”，长：long，其比较级是longer。故填longer and longer。

His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn’t give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.
Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time, only children from noble families could afford to go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime.
Today, people still follow Confucius’s lessons. He told us that we all have something important to be learned. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities (品质) and follow them.”
He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled (困惑的) . All thinking but no study makes people lazy.”
Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with his thoughts about the world and society. His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners. “A person should be strict with
himself, but be kind to others,” he said.

A ninth grade teacher asked her students to draw a picture to show their thanks for their Thanksgiving Day.
Most of the students didn’t come from rich families, but many would still celebrate the holiday with turkey and other customs. These, the teacher thought, would be the theme of most of the students’ art.
But one student named Douglas drew a different kind of picture. Douglas was often sad. When other children played with each other during break time, he would stand closely by his teacher’s side. There was pain behind his sad eyes. But what was it
His picture was different. He drew a hand, just an empty hand. Other children started to guess whose hand it could be. One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers raise turkeys. Another thought it was from a police officer, because police keep people safe. And others kept talking about the hand.
Finally, the teacher walked over to Douglas and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy said, “It’s yours, my teacher.”
The teacher thought of the times when she took his hand and walked with him here and there, and the times when she said things like “Take my hand, Douglas, and we’ll go outside.” Or “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.”
Douglas was most thankful for his teacher’s hand.
48．What do we know about the boy

50．What did the boy try to do through his picture
A．To show his thanks to his teacher. B．To help the teacher with problems.
C．To make the teacher’s class funny. D．To tell others about his own hobby.
51．What’s the best title for this passage
A．Stories about Thanksgiving Day B．Douglas’s Picture about Police
C．Teacher’s Kind and Patient Hand D．A Class with an Interesting Task

When you think of the sea, you may not think of Xinjiang. As is known, Xinjiang is often remembered as somewhere far from the sea with long hours of sunlight, a large Gobi desert, and mountains with an especially dry climate, unsuitable for seafood production because of the large amount of water required.
However, Xinjiang now welcomes a great harvest of local “seafood”, such as shrimp and crabs. The most important thing for aquatic products (水产品) is water. Xinjiang has many rivers and lakes with water from the melting snow and glaciers (冰川) of the Tianshan Mountains. “With the mountains on the side, there is no industrial pollution and agricultural pollution, which keeps the water clean and promote the growth of the fish,” said Li Chunyu, the head technician of the local trout farm.
Also, land in Xinjiang has a lot of salt. This is not good for growing crops. But “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”. The land makes the underground water salty. People turn the salty water into “man-made seawater”. They then use it to raise sea fish, shrimp and crabs.
Many people are worried about the safety of seafood because of the nuclear-contaminated water (核污染水). Some even feel desperate (绝望的) since they may no longer enjoy any seafood. Luckily, according to the Department of Agriculture, in 2022, the total output value of Xinjiang’s fishery industry reached 4. 2 billion yuan ($580 million), an increase of 921 million yuan compared to 2019. Now, some of Xinjiang’s “seafood” goes to many cities in China. It also goes to countries in Southeast Asia. It turns out that Xinjiang’s “seafood” is becoming a new and favorable (有利的) choice for seafood lovers.
52．Why does the writer introduce Xinjiang in this way in Paragraph 1
A．To introduce the climate and location of Xinjiang.
B．To lead in the real situation of local “seafood” in Xinjiang.
C．To describe the seafood industry in China.
D．To explain the reason why Xinjiang has poor seafood production.
53．Which word can replace the underlined word “trash” in Paragraph 3
A．Wealth. B．Pleasure. C．Litter. D．Property.
54．Which of the following makes it possible to raise sea fish in Xinjiang
①water from melting snow and glaciers ②the sea water from the underground
③the salt in the land ④less pollution
A．①②③ B．①③④ C．②③④ D．①②④
55．What can we know from the last paragraph
A．Xinjiang’s seafood industry is developing better.
B．People are pleased with the current safety of seafood.
C．Xinjiang’s “seafood’ remains to be the only choice for seafood lovers.
D．There are many different types of seafood for people to choose.

A bell rings at 7 pm every evening in Mohityache Avadgaon village, in India, telling people that it is time for everyone to turn off screen devices (设备), like televisions and mobile phones. At 8:30 pm, the bell rings the second time, telling the 3,000 villagers that screen-free time is over. The leaders of the village introduced it so that young people could focus on their homework and not be influenced by funny videos or phone messages. However, some say that a screen simply allows people to get information — it is not harmful in itself. A person can decide for themselves when to put down a device. So should you set limits (限制) on screen time
Yes—screen time should be limited
Phones, computers and TV are great ways for getting information and lots of fun. However, they can be addictive (使人成瘾的) and some people need help to break from them. Even if people are chatting on their phone or playing online games together, they can still feel lonely. Screen-free time means people can connect with family and friends in the real world. It’s also a great chance for people to go outside and be active, which is good for their health. Too much screen time can lead to other problems, such as not sleeping properly and being short on creativity.
No—people can manage their screen time
Through devices like phones and computers, people can find answers to many questions. Screen time can be productive—you can read great works of literature (文学), discover wonderful facts or read about important things happening in the world. It is great for homework and curious minds. Electronic devices also allow friends and family to stay in touch. Most people naturally take screen breaks, for example when they eat or exercise. People should be free to judge for themselves how much screen time they should have.
Now that you’ve read a lot about it, tell us what you think on the website theweekiunior.co.uk/polls. Choose YES if you think screen time should be limited, or NO if you don’t. We’ll show the results next week.
56．How does the writer begin the passage
A．By giving reasons. B．By telling a real event.

①Help people get information more easily. ②Make people go outside and be healthy.

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。
My husband, Tyler, and I decided to raise a guide dog puppy (幼犬). After attending several meetings with Anina Green, the guide dog club leader, I eagerly signed up to become a raiser and patiently waited for the arrival of my puppy. Then, one day, Anina informed me that I would get my puppy on April 27.
That day, Tyler and I went to Anina’s house. In the kitchen, we saw the puppy, Escort, sleeping on the floor. Holding him for the first time was magical. He was so soft and sleepy—and huge! Escort was larger than a lot of full-grown dogs.
We attended a weekly puppy kindergarten to learn how to train Escort. From the time we got the puppy until he was about 6 months old, he was on a leash (牵引绳). When we were watching TV on the sofa or brushing teeth, the leash was always in our hands. During the first eight weeks, Tyler and I mostly stayed at home, taught Escort orders, and held his leash.
The guide dog club is really like a family—a family with a lot of wonderful, well-behaved dogs. We traveled to various places together with these dogs. Escort’s first group outing was a trip to tour the city museum. We also went to a shopping mall, a baseball game, a fire station, and the airport to practice going through security. With all the help from our club, Escort went from a sleepy little puppy to a dependable companion (伙伴) when he was 8 months old.
When Escort was one year old, he could walk with a perfect loose (松的) leash, follow our orders and always make the right choices. It was time for us to drop him off at the Guide Dogs for the Blind campus to go through more formal (正式的) guide training and get matched with someone who needed him. We had fallen in love with the puppy and couldn’t bear giving him away, but we had to say goodbye to him.
When I see pictures of Escort with the woman he has been placed with, I feel very happy. It doesn’t hurt that he’s not with me—seeing him going on adventures with his new owner every day makes it all worth it. The thought that he will improve her life makes me very proud.
65．What was Escort like when the writer first saw him
66．What did the writer and her husband do during the first eight weeks of raising Escort
67．How does the writer feel when she knows Escort can help his new owner
68．What do you think of the writer and her husband Why do you think so (Please give two reasons.)
