I love college and I love you for sending me here—I’m very, very happy, and so excited every moment of the time that I can hardly sleep. You can’t imagine how different it is from the John Grier Home. I never dreamed there was such a place in the world. I’m feeling sorry for everybody who isn’t a girl and the girls who can’t come here. I am sure the college you attended when you were a boy wasn’t so nice.
My room is up in a tower that used to be the ward (病房) before the new hospital was built. There are three other girls on the same floor of the tower—an older girl who wears glasses and is always asking us to be a little quieter, and two new students named Sallie and Julia. Sallie has red hair and a turn-up nose and is quite friendly. Julia comes from one of the first families in New York and hasn’t known me yet.
Sallie and Julia live in one room. The older girl and I have single rooms. Usually new students can’t get this kind of rooms. They are very rare, but I got one without even asking. I suppose registrars (教务主任) didn’t think it
would be right to ask a well-raised child like the older girl to share a room with a foundling (弃婴). You see there are advantages!
The room with the name Jerusha Abbott on the door is mine. It is on the north-west corner with two windows and a view. After I lived in a ward for eighteen years with twenty roommates, it is quiet and calm for me to be alone. This is the first chance I’ve ever had to know Jerusha Abbott. I think I’m going to like her.
Yours sincerely,
Jerusha Abbott

Set in the German city of Hamburg, the Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly is about a seagull called Kengah. While diving into the sea for food, she is suddenly hit by the “curse of the sea”—a wave in oil coming from an oil tanker (油轮) in trouble. With great effort, the seagull reaches Hamburg and lands on the balcony of a house. A fat black cat called Zorba lives there. Before dying, Kengah gives her first and last egg to Zorba, asking him to keep three promises: First, that he does not eat the egg; second, that he takes care of it until the chick is born; and finally, and most surprisingly, that Zorba teaches the chick how to fly.
Zorba promises to take care of the baby seagull and keeps his word. He sits on the egg until the chick is born. With the help of his cat friends, he raises the baby seagull with love and protects her from danger. The little seagull is named Fortunata, the “lucky one”. However, the trouble comes when Zorba teaches Fortunata how to fly. Of course, being a cat, it is not easy. After many failed tries, Zorba and his friends turn to a human—a poet. Thanks to their help, Fortunata is finally able to fly and returns to her own world—the sky.
The book is a story about seagulls, flying over the Hamburg sky. It is a story about Zorba and his cat friends, who raise the chick, protect her from danger, and above all, teach her to fly. It is a story about a poet who is able to fly with words.
It is a story about friendship and courage. At the end of the story, when Fortunata takes her first flight, Zorba talks to the poet, “On the brink of the abyss (在悬崖边上), Fortunata understood the most important thing finally.”
“Oh yeah And what did she understand ” asks the poet.
“Only those who are brave can fly!”
13．What caused Kengah’s death
A．Giving birth to her baby. B．Flying a long way.
C．Oil coming from a tanker. D．Not having food to eat.
14．Where does the cat Zorba live
A．In a house with a balcony. B．In a house near the sea.
C．In a house next to a poet’s. D．In a house on the abyss.
15．What does the word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指的是)
A．Teaching the seagull how to fly. B．Asking a human for help.
C．Looking after the chick with love. D．Protecting the chick from dangers.
16．What makes Fortunata fly successfully
A．Bravery. B．Love. C．Friendship. D．Kindness.
【答案】13．C 14．A 15．A 16．A
【导语】本文介绍一本书《海鸥和教她飞的猫的故事》以德国汉堡市为背景，讲述了一只名叫Kengah的海鸥的把它的蛋交给一只叫Zorba的猫，让它帮着照顾她，并教会她飞。
13．细节理解题。根据“While diving into the sea for food, she is suddenly hit by the ‘curse of the sea’—a wave in oil coming from an oil tanker (油轮) in trouble.”可知，当她潜入海中寻找食物时，她突然受到“海洋的诅咒”的袭击——一艘陷入困境的油轮涌出一股油浪。故选C。
14．细节理解题。根据“With great effort, the seagull reaches Hamburg and lands on the balcony of a house. A fat black cat called Zorba lives there.”可知，海鸥降落在一所房子的阳台上，那里住着一只名叫Zorba的肥黑猫。故选A。
15．词句猜测题。根据“However, the trouble comes when Zorba teaches Fortunata how to fly. Of course, being a cat, it is not easy.”可知，当Zorba教Fortunata如何飞行时，麻烦来了。当然，作为一只猫，这并不容易。所以it代指“教她如何飞”。故选A。
16．细节理解题。根据“Only those who are brave can fly!”可知，只有勇敢的人才能飞翔，可知勇敢使她成功飞翔。故选A。

1、记叙文是以记叙、描写为主要表达方式，以记人、叙事、写景、状物为主要内容的文章，简单点说就是记录事情从开始到经过到结果的文章。
记叙文四要素：人物 时间 地点 事件（ 起因 经过 结果）
2、记叙文考查特点：
1）多考查细节和主旨；
2）首段或尾段为议论抒情句，往往点明文章主旨；
3、解题思路和技巧
1、先读题后读文。读题时注意从题干中找出“题眼”（即题干关键词），带着问题读文，使阅读具有明确的目标。
由于记叙文中多人物，地点，人物线索，题干中多有大写信息，所以很多题可以直接通过快速定位法查找到文章相应部分，快速解题。
2、读文章时，找主题句，找首段或尾段的议论、抒情句。整体把握文章的主要内容和中心意思。
记叙文多为总—分—总结构，主旨会出现在首尾，即首段明主旨或尾段点题或首尾呼应；且要先做主旨题，便于猜测和把握细节内容。
3、答题时，具体题目涉及到相关段落，要对这些段落反复研读。

Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get. So is teens’ life.
Jane was always getting shouted at for not being ready for class. It happened so often that she could see her teacher’s mouth open to shout at her as soon as she stepped through the door. She didn’t really blame (责怪) her teacher that much, though. She knew she hated repeating herself, so why wouldn’t her teacher
Just once, she wanted to impress her teacher by being ready. She got her things out the night before, and then organized them carefully. She double-checked to make sure there wasn’t a single question left unanswered in her homework. Then she made sure she had read her pages in the novel she was supposed to keep up in. Things looked good.
After a late night preparing, she fell asleep, but woke up late. In the rush for the bus in the morning, she somehow forgot her backpack.

Jules Verne’s novel, Around the World in 80 Days, has inspired (激励) many people to travel around the world in unusual ways. It has also inspired several films, TV series, theatre productions and even a board game.
So where did Jules Verne get the idea from Jules Verne told a reporter that he had been sitting in a café in Paris one day when he saw a newspaper advertisement for the first ever tourist trip around the world in 1872.
In Jules Verne’s story, a wealthy English gentleman, Phileas Fogg, accepts a bet of 20, 000 that he can travel round the world in 80 days. Phileas Fogg is a man who is very hard to please.

The journey ends back in London with Fogg believing that he has arrived a day too late and that he has lost the bet. He tells Aouda that he cannot marry her now, as he’s too poor. Passepartout learns that they have got the date wrong. The party travelled east, so they gained a day. Fogg hurries to his club and arrives there in time to win the bet and the story ends happily.
The story is an easy read. The humorous twists and turns of the plot (情节) keep you entertained throughout. It is a romantic adventure story that I would strongly recommend to all my friends.

（2024·江苏南京·一模）DIY needs creative minds. To be creative means to be in love with life.
Daniella Hudson grew up in a very creative family. “Mum and dad made all our furniture,” she says. “Not because we couldn’t afford it, they just preferred making items to buying them. So visits to city furniture shops nearby just weren’t part of my childhood.” When Daniella visited a design show with her class at the age of ten, she realized she wanted to follow her parents’ example. “There were so many different styles of tables and chairs there,” she says. Since that day, she’s been making furniture. “I’ve learned by giving mum and dad a hand, and through watching videos on the Internet,” she adds.
Her first piece was a table, made soon after visiting the show. It was similar to one she had seen there. “They
had furniture from the last hundred years, and I copied a 1920s design,” says Daniella. “Sadly, no one has wanted tables like that for years. I was pleased with the quality of my work, though. I’ve painted it recently because the wood I chose at the start was too dark.”
Daniella started selling her furniture at a local market. “I spent most of my free time inside, so this gave me the chance to get some fresh air and find out what people thought about my designs.” Judging by how many items Daniella sold, they thought it was pretty good. “In the end, I had to give up,” says Daniella. “I’d also started an Internet business, which was doing so well. It was taking up every spare minute I had. The market closed down just after that anyway.”
Recently, Daniella was asked to take part in a local design show. “One of the organizers had bought one of my pieces off the Internet. I couldn’t believe it when she told me there would be a thousand visitors,” she says. Instead of worrying about this, Daniella was excited by the chance. “I was amazed she thought my work was good enough,” Daniella says. “I had little idea what visitors would think about it. My furniture is quite different from the designers whose work I’ve seen in magazines—mine is more traditional.” But Daniella received lots of orders at the show and the future is looking bright for this young design star.
24．What made Daniella interested in creating furniture
A．Helping her parents make their own furniture.
B．Visiting furniture shops in a city near her home.
C．Watching online videos of how to make furniture.
D．Seeing different kinds of furniture on a school trip.
25．What does Daniella say about the first furniture she made
A．It wasn’t very well-made. B．It wasn’t a fashionable piece.
C．She still likes the colour she used. D．She designed the table herself.
26．Why did Daniella stop selling her furniture at a market
A．The market closed down. B．Too few people were buying it.
C．She no longer had enough time. D．She didn’t like working outdoors.
27．How did Daniella feel when she was invited to her first design show
A．She felt confident her designs would be popular.
B．She felt curious about seeing other designers’ works.
C．She felt worried about how many people would be there.
D．She felt surprised someone was impressed by her furniture.
28．What would Daniella say in an advertisement for her company
A．I’m a young furniture designer, whose works have appeared in several design shows and are sold in many city furniture shops.
B．I’ve created furniture since I was just ten years old. Many of the thousand visitors to a recent design show liked my work.
C．After starting my business at a local market, I’ve finally opened my own store in a local city.
D．I’m interested in the history of furniture but my designs are very modern and use the latest styles.

（2024·江苏南京·一模）During Chinese New Year, a 40-metre-long balloon loong (the Chinese
pronunciation of dragon) was shown in Hong Kong. On January 24, the artwork was confirmed to have broken the Guinness World Record for being the world’s largest balloon loong.
The loong is the symbol of power, energy and liveliness in Chinese culture. The record-breaking loong is made up of 38,000 beautiful balloons. It shows a golden light and has a sense of power.
“According to Chinese legends (神话), the loong controls rain. Only good weather can produce good crops, so the Chinese have admired and respected the loong since ancient times,” the balloon artist Wilson Pang said. He added that many sayings about the loong had good meanings, which were different from those about Western Dragons.
Pang said that the artwork took him much time and the most difficult part was the eyes. He made more than 10 drafts for one eye alone before he was satisfied. The Guinness certification officer was greatly impressed, saying it was one of the most attractive balloon artworks ever.
The model of the loong caught many people’s attention. “Beautiful”, “amazing”, “fantastic” and “thanks for bringing us peace” were among many people’s messages Pang received on social media. To thank people for their support, Pang printed 5,000 postcards based on the loong and had a meeting with them at a mall.
“To send a warm, loving message to the people of Hong Kong is what I always want to do,” Pang said. “I hope to share what I have learned with young people. I have won many medals myself and I hope to support the next winners in the future.”
Growing up in Hong Kong, a place both old and modern, Pang often thinks about how to present the beauty of Eastern culture with Western balloon art. The balloon artist hopes that one day he can introduce balloon works that show Chinese culture to the world. “This is what I am doing now,” he said.
29．What can we learn from Paragraph 1 to Paragraph 3
A．The loong is powerful and lazy in Chinese culture.
B．People respect the loong because it produces crops.
C．Sayings about Western Dragons always have good meanings.
D．Ancient people believed good weather depended on the loong.
30．In Wilson Pang’s eyes, the balloon artwork ________.
A．has perfect eyes in the beginning
B．has nothing to do with young people
C．is a way to send people a warm message
D．is easier to design than any other artwork
31．What will the writer probably talk about after the last paragraph
A．The beauty of the Western balloon art and works.
B．Chinese culture that can be found in the balloon loong.
C．Pang’s growing-up stories before becoming a balloon artist.
D．Hong Kong, a great place with ancient and modern cultures.
32．Which is the best title for the passage
A．Artist Breaks Record for Largest Loong
B．Chinese Loong Stands for Special Meanings
C．Hong Kong Spreads Traditional Chinese Culture
D．Wilson Pang Becomes Famous as Balloon Artist
【答案】29．D 30．C 31．B 32．A
【导语】本文介绍了香港展出40米长巨型气球龙，破吉尼斯世界纪录，创作者Wilson Pang希望借此推广中国文化。
29．细节理解题。根据“According to Chinese legends (神话), the loong controls rain. Only good weather can produce good crops, so the Chinese have admired and respected the loong since ancient times”可知，根据中国神话，龙可以控制雨水。只有好天气才能长出好庄稼，所以中国人自古以来就对龙钦佩和尊重。所以D选项“古人认为好天气取决于龙。”正确，故选D。
30．细节理解题。根据“To send a warm, loving message to the people of Hong Kong is what I always want to do”可知，向香港人传递温暖、充满爱心的信息，是他一直想做的事，所以C选项“是向人们传递温暖信息的一种方式”符合，故选C。
31．推理判断题。根据“The balloon artist hopes that one day he can introduce balloon works that show Chinese culture to the world.”可知，这位气球艺术家希望有一天他能向世界介绍展示中国文化的气球作品，可知接下来与此有关，B选项“在气球龙里可以找到的中国文化。”符合，故选B。
32．最佳标题题。本文介绍了香港展出40米长巨型气球龙，破吉尼斯世界纪录，创作者Wilson Pang希望借此推广中国文化。所以A选项“艺术家打破最长龙纪录”符合，故选A。

Spring thunder cracks the sky
An old Chinese saying goes, “If the first spring thunder crashes before the Awakening of Insects, there will be unusual weather that year.” Around the Awakening of Insects, the earth becomes humid (潮湿的) and the hot air near the surface rises. At the same time, the cold dry air from the north is strong and creates winds. When the two airflows (气流) come together, thunder forms during this time.

I love college and I love you for sending me here—I’m very, very happy, and so excited every moment of the time that I can hardly sleep. You can’t imagine how different it is from the John Grier Home. I never dreamed there was such a place in the world. I’m feeling sorry for everybody who isn’t a girl and the girls who can’t come here. I am sure the college you attended when you were a boy wasn’t so nice.
My room is up in a tower that used to be the ward (病房) before the new hospital was built. There are three other girls on the same floor of the tower—an older girl who wears glasses and is always asking us to be a little quieter, and two new students named Sallie and Julia. Sallie has red hair and a turn-up nose and is quite friendly. Julia comes from one of the first families in New York and hasn’t known me yet.
Sallie and Julia live in one room. The older girl and I have single rooms. Usually new students can’t get this kind of rooms. They are very rare, but I got one without even asking. I suppose registrars (教务主任) didn’t think it would be right to ask a well-raised child like the older girl to share a room with a foundling (弃婴). You see there are advantages!
The room with the name Jerusha Abbott on the door is mine. It is on the north-west corner with two windows and a view. After I lived in a ward for eighteen years with twenty roommates, it is quiet and calm for me to be alone. This is the first chance I’ve ever had to know Jerusha Abbott. I think I’m going to like her.
Yours sincerely,
Jerusha Abbott

Set in the German city of Hamburg, the Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly is about a
seagull called Kengah. While diving into the sea for food, she is suddenly hit by the “curse of the sea”—a wave in oil coming from an oil tanker (油轮) in trouble. With great effort, the seagull reaches Hamburg and lands on the balcony of a house. A fat black cat called Zorba lives there. Before dying, Kengah gives her first and last egg to Zorba, asking him to keep three promises: First, that he does not eat the egg; second, that he takes care of it until the chick is born; and finally, and most surprisingly, that Zorba teaches the chick how to fly.
Zorba promises to take care of the baby seagull and keeps his word. He sits on the egg until the chick is born. With the help of his cat friends, he raises the baby seagull with love and protects her from danger. The little seagull is named Fortunata, the “lucky one”. However, the trouble comes when Zorba teaches Fortunata how to fly. Of course, being a cat, it is not easy. After many failed tries, Zorba and his friends turn to a human—a poet. Thanks to their help, Fortunata is finally able to fly and returns to her own world—the sky.

Daniella Hudson grew up in a very creative family. “Mum and dad made all our furniture,” she says. “Not because we couldn’t afford it, they just preferred making items to buying them. So visits to city furniture shops nearby just weren’t part of my childhood.” When Daniella visited a design show with her class at the age of ten, she realized she wanted to follow her parents’ example. “There were so many different styles of tables and chairs there,” she says. Since that day, she’s been making furniture. “I’ve learned by giving mum and dad a hand, and through watching videos on the Internet,” she adds.
Her first piece was a table, made soon after visiting the show. It was similar to one she had seen there. “They had furniture from the last hundred years, and I copied a 1920s design,” says Daniella. “Sadly, no one has wanted tables like that for years. I was pleased with the quality of my work, though. I’ve painted it recently because the wood I chose at the start was too dark.”
Daniella started selling her furniture at a local market. “I spent most of my free time inside, so this gave me the chance to get some fresh air and find out what people thought about my designs.” Judging by how many items Daniella sold, they thought it was pretty good. “In the end, I had to give up,” says Daniella. “I’d also started an Internet business, which was doing so well. It was taking up every spare minute I had. The market closed down just after that anyway.”
Recently, Daniella was asked to take part in a local design show. “One of the organizers had bought one of my pieces off the Internet. I couldn’t believe it when she told me there would be a thousand visitors,” she says. Instead of worrying about this, Daniella was excited by the chance. “I was amazed she thought my work was good enough,” Daniella says. “I had little idea what visitors would think about it. My furniture is quite different from the designers whose work I’ve seen in magazines—mine is more traditional.” But Daniella received lots of orders at the show and the future is looking bright for this young design star.
24．What made Daniella interested in creating furniture
A．Helping her parents make their own furniture.
B．Visiting furniture shops in a city near her home.
C．Watching online videos of how to make furniture.
D．Seeing different kinds of furniture on a school trip.
25．What does Daniella say about the first furniture she made
A．It wasn’t very well-made. B．It wasn’t a fashionable piece.
C．She still likes the colour she used. D．She designed the table herself.
26．Why did Daniella stop selling her furniture at a market
A．The market closed down. B．Too few people were buying it.
C．She no longer had enough time. D．She didn’t like working outdoors.
27．How did Daniella feel when she was invited to her first design show
A．She felt confident her designs would be popular.
B．She felt curious about seeing other designers’ works.
C．She felt worried about how many people would be there.
D．She felt surprised someone was impressed by her furniture.
28．What would Daniella say in an advertisement for her company
A．I’m a young furniture designer, whose works have appeared in several design shows and are sold in many city furniture shops.
B．I’ve created furniture since I was just ten years old. Many of the thousand visitors to a recent design show liked my work.
C．After starting my business at a local market, I’ve finally opened my own store in a local city.
D．I’m interested in the history of furniture but my designs are very modern and use the latest styles.

（2024·江苏南京·一模）During Chinese New Year, a 40-metre-long balloon loong (the Chinese pronunciation of dragon) was shown in Hong Kong. On January 24, the artwork was confirmed to have broken the Guinness World Record for being the world’s largest balloon loong.
The loong is the symbol of power, energy and liveliness in Chinese culture. The record-breaking loong is made up of 38,000 beautiful balloons. It shows a golden light and has a sense of power.
“According to Chinese legends (神话), the loong controls rain. Only good weather can produce good crops, so the Chinese have admired and respected the loong since ancient times,” the balloon artist Wilson Pang said. He added that many sayings about the loong had good meanings, which were different from those about Western Dragons.
Pang said that the artwork took him much time and the most difficult part was the eyes. He made more than
10 drafts for one eye alone before he was satisfied. The Guinness certification officer was greatly impressed, saying it was one of the most attractive balloon artworks ever.
The model of the loong caught many people’s attention. “Beautiful”, “amazing”, “fantastic” and “thanks for bringing us peace” were among many people’s messages Pang received on social media. To thank people for their support, Pang printed 5,000 postcards based on the loong and had a meeting with them at a mall.
“To send a warm, loving message to the people of Hong Kong is what I always want to do,” Pang said. “I hope to share what I have learned with young people. I have won many medals myself and I hope to support the next winners in the future.”
Growing up in Hong Kong, a place both old and modern, Pang often thinks about how to present the beauty of Eastern culture with Western balloon art. The balloon artist hopes that one day he can introduce balloon works that show Chinese culture to the world. “This is what I am doing now,” he said.
29．What can we learn from Paragraph 1 to Paragraph 3
A．The loong is powerful and lazy in Chinese culture.
B．People respect the loong because it produces crops.
C．Sayings about Western Dragons always have good meanings.
D．Ancient people believed good weather depended on the loong.
30．In Wilson Pang’s eyes, the balloon artwork ________.
A．has perfect eyes in the beginning
B．has nothing to do with young people
C．is a way to send people a warm message
D．is easier to design than any other artwork
31．What will the writer probably talk about after the last paragraph
A．The beauty of the Western balloon art and works.
B．Chinese culture that can be found in the balloon loong.
C．Pang’s growing-up stories before becoming a balloon artist.
D．Hong Kong, a great place with ancient and modern cultures.

B．Chinese Loong Stands for Special Meanings
C．Hong Kong Spreads Traditional Chinese Culture
D．Wilson Pang Becomes Famous as Balloon Artist

（2024·江苏南京·一模）Awakening of Insects (惊蛰) fell on March 5 and ended on March 20 this year. Its date slightly changes each year because of the lunar calendar system. It shows that animals sleeping in winter are awakened by spring thunder and the earth begins to come back to life.
Spring thunder cracks the sky
An old Chinese saying goes, “If the first spring thunder crashes before the Awakening of Insects, there will be unusual weather that year.” Around the Awakening of Insects, the earth becomes humid (潮湿的) and the hot air near the surface rises. At the same time, the cold dry air from the north is strong and creates winds. When the two airflows (气流) come together, thunder forms during this time.
Spring ploughing (耕作)
The Awakening of Insects is important to farmers because they take it as the beginning of the busiest time
for farm work. During this time, most areas of China see the quickest rise in temperatures, usually reaching above 10 degrees. There is also a big increase in sunshine, which provides good conditions for farming.
__________

（2024·江苏南京·一模）While fake (虚假) news can take many forms, it can be divided into two broad types: misinformation and disinformation.
Misinformation Misinformation is when false information is shared by someone who believes that information to be true. Normally it isn’t done on purpose. Disinformation Disinformation is when misleading or even false information is shared with the intention to deceive (欺骗) others.
There are lots of reasons why people share fake news. Often the person sharing it doesn’t realize that it’s fake. Sometimes it’s done to advertise a service or product, so that someone can make money. It could even be done to make people laugh.
Fake news can also be shared by someone who wants others to hear their own personal opinions and be affected by them. Still, fake news is shared to influence the opinions and beliefs of others about organizations and business.
Fake news Question it!
To work out whether the “news” we are reading is fake, we can use our critical (批判性) thinking skills to ask ourselves the following questions.
Is it a mistake or just a joke
People sometimes share information, believing that it’s true, because they don’t realize that it’s a joke. It might even be April Fools’ Day!
Are there lots of spelling and grammar mistakes
If yes, it’s a sign that no one is checking the content. This could mean that those writing the content are not professional writers or journalists and the news content is untrustworthy (不可靠的).
Is the article advertising something
Sometimes a news article can influence us to buy panies will often pay a news organization to talk about their product as if it’s “news” to encourage people to buy it.
Is the headline believable
Sensational (耸人听闻的) headlines encourage us to click on a story because they catch our attention. Some people get paid for every click, so before clicking, ask yourself, does the story sound made-up, or even impossible
Is there bias (偏见)
Sometimes certain facts have been left out of a story because the writer wants the readers to believe it. Bias
is an underlying (隐含的) opinion that guides our actions. See if you can fact-check the story with another news source if you’re unsure.
When fake news causes stress or hurt to the person or people it targets (将……作为目标), it is often the case that those who have helped spread it will claim they were not to blame. However, sharing fake news is just like adding fuel (燃料) to a fire. If the false information doesn’t get shared, it doesn’t get seen and cannot fulfil its purpose. When it comes to fake news, it’s not enough to not write something, we must refuse to share it, too.
37．What’s the main difference between disinformation and misinformation
A．Disinformation is harmful to the public, while misinformation is not.
B．Disinformation is shared to deceive others, while misinformation is often not.
C．Disinformation is aimed at young people, while misinformation is aimed at older ones.
D．Disinformation is produced by professionals, while misinformation by ordinary people.
38．People spread fake news for the following reasons except to ________.
A．trick or entertain people B．challenge the news industry
C．make money through advertising D．influence public opinions and beliefs

Do you know how many kinds of plants and animals there are in the world Experts believe there are between 8 and 14 million, but right now we only know about 1.5 million. However, scientists are finding new plant and animal species (物种) all the time—and that’s good news for us.
In 2009, a university professor named Christopher Austin and his student Eric Rittmeyer discovered a new animal species. They were in Papua New Guinea, studying the wildlife on the island. One evening, they were in the jungle listening to animal sounds. The most common sound was the noise of frogs croaking loudly. But there was another sound—a much softer, high-pitched one that sounded like it came from something much smaller.
At first, they couldn’t locate the sound, but after some time, they realized it came from the ground. They searched through the grass and dead leaves carefully, but what they found surprised them. It was a tiny frog—just seven millimeters (微米) long. “This frog has a call that doesn’t sound like a frog at all, ”said Austin. The frog they discovered was the smallest in the world!
Researchers believe that frogs are important because they help keep the environment clean. We can also use them to create new medicines. Whenever we find a new species, we learn new things. For that reason, scientists work very hard to find new plants and animals every day. But their jobs are getting more difficult. The forests that these animals live in are disappearing quickly. And, sadly, so are the animals.
42．Why were Austin and Rittmeyer surprised when they found the frog
A．There weren’t any known frogs in the area. B．The frog’s color matched the leaves perfectly.
C．It didn’t seem like the sound came from a frog. D．The frog could be used to make new medicines.
43．What did Austin and Rittmeyer probably expect to find in the grass
A．An insect. B．An eagle. C．A rabbit. D．A snake.
44．The purpose of the last paragraph is to show that ________.
A．frogs are useful animals B．scientists are working very hard
C．finding new species is important D．scientists can use animals to make medicines
45．The writer says that researchers’ jobs are getting more difficult because there are fewer ________.
A．researchers B．labs C．medicines D．animals

（2024·江苏南京·一模）The twenty-first century is already turning out to be the century of modern technologies. The technological revolution (革命) that started after World War II is now developing more quickly. Computing and other technological development is beginning to reach into influence and take over nearly every part of our lives. The two main influences modern computing has had on our lives are in the areas of economics (经济学) and communications.
Technology has led to big changes in economic and business systems and operations (经营). Businesses now have to be using cloud services or machine learning or risk failure. As a result, every big company bases its operations on computing. For example, Coca Cola, Huawei and Tencent sell different products and services, yet they all share one basic feature—without modern computing services, their operations would break down. New technologies play an important role in economies. China and many other developing countries have large IT industries, which drive their economies. What’s more, developed countries, including Germany and the United States, are moving from an industrial-based economy to a computing and IT-based one.
The other important influence of technological change is in the way of communication. For example, in the past, people wrote letters or talked on fixed phones, which slowed down the communication process. Now they send e-mails and text messages, or chat using mobile phones. Instead of waiting weeks for a letter or spending time finding a fixed phone, we can communicate right away. New forms of communication are cheaper or free. As a result, now people who live thousands of kilometres away from each other can communicate as much as they want at any time.
In conclusion, computing and new technologies have had a great influence on our lives in many ways. And they have had the greatest influence in business and communication. In the future, if technology continues
developing at such speed,our business practices and methods of communication will have even greater changes. It is already starting to bring changes to other parts of our lives, such as transportation and health.

We’ve all heard people say, “Oh, that person is so creative!” about someone who is great at art. But art is just one area where people can be creative.
Any time you try something different to deal with a problem, you’re being creative. In sports, that might mean trying new moves to score a goal. In engineering, that might mean joining different materials together to make a container that will protect an egg. At home, it could mean working out a shortcut to get to your friend’s house. You are creative every day!
Are some people naturally more creative than others Maybe, but anyone can get more creative with practice. Here are some methods that work for experts who are creative in very different ways.
Explore and imagine
Shigeru Miyamoto is the brains behind some of the world’s most popular video games, such as Super Mario Bros. He exercised his creativity (创造力) like a muscle (肌肉) when he was growing up near Kyoto, Japan. He spent hours exploring nature and going on adventures (历险) in his mind. As a game designer, he still finds joy in making up new worlds and adventures.
Make wacky mash-ups (混搭)
Dr. Neri Oxman and her team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Media Lab combine things that don’t usually go together. They mixed ideas from robots and insects when they invented small robots that spin fibers (结网) the way silkworms (蚕) do. In the future, their work may lead to groups of robots that quickly build many types of buildings.
If you come up with ideas you’re not sure about, don’t worry-you’re not alone. In the Netflix series Abstract, Dr. Oxman said she often doubts her ideas. “My father said, ‘When you create, you must always feel a little bit uncomfortable. And if you’re feeling uncomfortable and alone, you know you’re doing something right. ”
Find pictures in patterns
Have you ever looked for animal shapes in clouds The artist Leonardo da Vinci looked everywhere for patterns that would spark his imagination. He wrote that artists should look at stone walls and irregular stains (不规则的污渍) to discover landscapes or strange faces and costumes, and an endless variety of objects. You could reduce these to complete and well-drawn forms

Seeing them in the wild, you might be surprised at first because they look like giant guinea pigs, which are in fact one of their closest relatives. Capybaras’ bodies are covered in reddish-brown fur.
