My teacher said to a student: “Give me your phone.”
We all looked in surprise. Kyle, a student who I never saw text in class, gave the teacher his phone.
When the teacher left, two students who I often saw text in class started boasting (吹嘘) about how they sent text messages and never got caught. “Kyle, you don't text in class that way!” one of them said. “I put my phone under my desk so it looks like I'm looking at my textbooks.”
“Isn't it funny that we always text and never get caught, but the first time Kyle does it, he gets caught ” the other one laughed.
They must have thought they were smart, because they never got caught and Kyle did. But which situation is worse: getting caught, or getting away with it Rules are there for a reason. These two students might not have got caught, but neither of them had good grades. They keep texting in class, not paying any attention. I think they will keep breaking the rules in the future.
People don't just break the law and get thrown into jail (监狱) right away. They take it one step at a time, starting with smaller rules. Kyle might have got caught, but at least he learned a good lesson. He will not break the rules in the future, so he will learn more in class and stay out of trouble. It's smarter not to break the rules.
24. The teacher asked Kyle to give his phone because _______.
A. the teacher wanted to teach him how to text
B. the students wanted to see Kyle's new phone
C. the teacher wanted to speak to Kyle's parents
D. he was playing with his phone in class
25. How did the two students feel about not being caught texting in class
A. Upset. B. Proud. C. Disappointed. D. Calm.
26. Which is true according to the story
A. Kyle often texts in class. B. Kyle is not smart enough.
C. Rules are there for no reason. D. The two students who often text in class had bad grades.
27. What would the writer agree
A. What the two students said and did were wrong.
B. Texting in class without being caught was easy.
C. Texting in class is not a big deal.
D. Kyle was a bad student.
C
Adding to the achievements of a remarkable year, Taylor Swift has been named Time magazine's Person of the Year for 2023.
Already a superstar before 2023, Swift's career has reached new heights thanks to the beginning of her Eras Tour that brought her 3. 5-hour performance to 66 shows in 23 cities across North America, Argentina and Brazil. Promoted by her tour, Swift has been named the most-streamed female artist in the history of Spotify and Apple Music. According to Billboard, the tour made about$900 million (about 6. 4 billion yuan) in 2023. In addition, the tour's movie Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour became the biggest concert movie of all time, taking more than $250 million globally.
As she was declared (宣布) a billionaire by Bloomberg in November, a hidden “Taylor Swift economy” also promoted sales for business owners across the U. S. From soaps to a cruise inspired by her different “eras”, interest in Swift-related products went way up.
Apart from her financial contributions, Swift made a significant cultural impact by taking back control of her music. In 2019, her old record label, Big Machine, sold the master tapes of her first six albums (专辑) to Scooter Braun. The sale meant that she didn't have the rights to the albums. In response to this, Swift began re-recording her first six albums, tagging (加标签于) them “Taylor's Version”. This move stressed her belief that artists deserve to own their work. “It's all in how you deal with loss,” she told Time. “I respond to extreme pain by resisting.”
Heading into 2024, Swift will start the Eras Tour again in Japan and Australia. As USA Today noted, “Her current top has been a long time coming, but it may also be just beginning.”
28. What do we know about Taylor Swift
A. She broke a new record on her tour. B. She toured South America before 2023.
C. Her achievements received great recognition. D. Her performance began with the Apple Music.
29. How did Taylor Swift benefit from her Eras Tour
A. She proved herself to be an artist. B. She learned to make some products.
C. She got rich and regained album rights. D. She sold her master tapes to a company.
30. What can we learn about Taylor Swift from the last paragraph
A. She will end her music career. B. She will continue her Eras Tour.
C. She will reach her top in Japan. D. She will make a record in Australia.
31. What is the author's attitude towards Taylor Swift
A. Admirable. B. Uncaring. C. Doubtful. D. Critical.
D
Rivers are very important. Humans rely on them for food and water. But rivers can destroy things, too. They can flood, or rise over their banks, making the water run into the nearby land. Floods can also kill humans and wildlife. However, floods are not always bad. Some ecosystems need them every once in a while.
Flooding can not only harm animals but also destroy habitats. For example, a flood in Australia in 2022 caused massive animal habitat loss. Flood waters can pick up dirt (泥土) from riverbanks, which makes the water dirty. Too much dirt will clog rivers and streams, preventing the river from flowing. Sometimes flood waters can carry pollution to the sea and harm marine life. In addition, flood waters can carry disease, including hepatitis A (甲肝) and cholera (霍乱) .
However, not everything about floods is bad. Sometimes they bring new life to ecosystems. Flood waters carry nutrients to the nearby land. Over time, the water dries up and leaves behind particles (微粒) of dirt and mud. The particles are called sediment (沉淀物) which can be good due to its ability to improve the dirt and helps plants grow. Floods are important to some animals as well. For instance, some animals see floods as a sign that it is time to mate or migrate. Floods leave sediment on river beds where baby fish can grow and carry nutrients for small animals in the water to eat. Moreover, in dry seasons, water might dry up, but floods help refill the wetlands, keeping the ecosystem going.
Floods are a part of nature. They can destroy living things and the environment. But some ecosystems need floods to survive.
32. What's the possible meaning of the underlined word “clog” in Paragraph 2
A. Become. B. Pollute. C. Block. D. Develop.
33. How do floods help ecosystems
A. Nutrients carried by floods can make soil richer.
B. Floods make all the animals migrate more easily.
C. Tiny fish going with floods feed some animals.
D. Floods can improve the dirt and help plants grow.
34. What's the main idea of Paragraph 3
A. The way in which floods feed animals. B. The benefits of floods to ecosystems.
C. An effective means of improving soil. D. The reason for people's appreciating floods.
35. What's the best title of this article
A. The Many Effects of Flooding B. The Secret of Flooding
C. Floods-Everything Is So Bad D. Floods-a Part of Nature

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many people spend weekends doing meaningless things, which is a complete waste of our life. However, successful people make the best use of their weekends differently. Here are some things they may choose to do.
● 36
Successful people don't go into the weekend with no plan. 37 It might be a little more loosely scheduled than a usual Tuesday, but with only so many hours in a week, successful people know they have to use all the free time they can get to finish tasks they need to.
●Get up early.
Of course, it feels good to sleep in. However, it's actually quite refreshing (使人精力充沛的) to get up and move early on days when you don't have to get up early. 38 It will leave them feeling more refreshed than just wasting two or three hours lying in bed staring at the wall.
●Put the phone aside.
In today's busy world, most of us never truly leave work. Our phones are likely connected to our emails and Twitter accounts, meaning we may deal with a work-related task even after 5 p. m. 39 They go fishing or hiking or do something without their phones in their pockets.
●Follow hobbies.
40 They know they'll never get that time back. Even if their hobbies require hard work, they'll still be relaxed and comfortable while working on them if they're fond of them.
A. Make a plan.
B. Prepare for the week carefully.
C. But successful people need time to let work go.
D. The weekend is the perfect time to make up for it.
E. They plan their day out just as they would on any other day.
F. Successful people start their Saturday off by hitting the gym or reading a book.
G. Successful people use every minute of their free time to do something they love.

He took art classes as a boy and painted pictures for books as a job at the age of 18. In the early 1920s, he set up the Disney Brothers Studio with his brother Roy. With Ub Iwerks, Disney developed the character Mickey Mouse in 1928， his first big success. As the studio grew, Disney became more adventurous, introducing color, feature-length cartoons. The results, seen in features such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo, and Bambi, promoted the development of cartoons. New films followed after World War Ⅱ, including Cinderella and Mary Poppins. In the 1950s, Disney expanded into the amusement park industry, and in July 1955 he opened Disneyland in California. Disney is considered a national cultural hero in the United States.

We've made a donation of some money, expecting it can help you go through the difficulty. As for the lessons you have missed, I am willing to help you make them up. Remember, I won't be far away.
Hope you can have your troubles removed soon.
