一、阅读理解
What do you want to be when you grow up Maybe you want to be a violinist, a computer programmer, an actor and so on. There is a father and his son. They’re both pilots. That sounds interesting.
An Yahang’s 57-year-old father, An Wei, works as a pilot for 36 years. He is a “five-star pilot” and this is not common. The captain (机长) is able to get such honor (荣誉) only when he flies safely for more than 13,000 hours.
When he was a child, An Yahang hoped to be a pilot like his father. He was interested in planes and the blue sky. He dreamed of flying in the sky one day. Now his dream comes true.
His grandfather named him “Yahang” because he hoped his grandson would fly out of Asia and around the world. Before each flight, An Yahang has to check the airplane, prepare the cabin (座舱) and clean the buttons (按钮). He always follows the rules and does all the work carefully. The buttons in the cabin are like beautiful keys for him. When he is sure about the safety, the movement of flying in the blue sky begins here.

But in 2021, the Chinese government passed laws to encourage (鼓励) families to have three babies, because there are too many old people now. Some factories can’t find enough people to work. That’s terrible.

Imagine a school where you are the only student—where you come first in every test. Welcome to the life of ten-year-old Aron Anderson, who goes to school in Out Skerries, a group of small, remote islands in Scotland. Aron has been the only boy at his school for two months.
The Out Skerries Islands, which are around 280 km from the coast of Scotland, are home to about 70 people. The nearest town is Lerwick on the Shetland Islands. You can only get there by boat and it takes two and a half hours. Apart from Aron’s school, there are two shops, a church and a community hall on the islands.
Aron isn’t the only child on the islands and he hasn’t always been the only student at the school. Until July there were several other children there, including Aron’s two brothers. But now they are older, so they go to the secondary school in Lerwick. They only go back to their homes at the weekend. Aron has been the only student since September.
The school is very small. It has two classrooms, an art room, a music room and a library. Each week Aron studies Maths, English, Science and Art with the same teacher. She also gives him PE lessons. This is usually an hour-long walk around the islands. He also has the school playground all to himself. Of course, there is one problem. He has no one to play with.
What’s more, Aron’s education isn’t cheap. It costs the UK government 75, 357 each year. That is twice the price it costs parents to send a child to Britain’s most famous private school, Eton. Some people want to close down the school. They think it is too much money to spend on one child’s education.
Aron has lived in Out Skerries since he was born and loves the outdoor life. He enjoys exploring the islands on his bike and diving into the sea from the pier. Like most boys his age, he also likes watching TV and playing on his games console.
But his mother, who works in one of the shops on the islands, is worried that Aron might get lonely. She would like to see more families with children coming to live there. A lot of people have moved away since the local salmon factory closed ten years ago. That’s why there are so few children on the islands and why Aron has found himself being known as the loneliest schoolboy in Britain.
69．Aron’s school is in Out Skerries in ________.
A．England B．Scotland C．Wales D．Northern Island

When he was a child, An Yahang hoped to be a pilot like his father. He was interested in planes and the blue sky. He dreamed of flying in the sky one day. Now his dream comes true.

We sometimes have the wrong ideas about the things around us, for example, some things about cats that people believe might not be true. These myths (荒诞的说法) can make cat owners confused (困惑的). Let’s learn the truth about them.
Some people think that cats need to drink milk. That is not true. If a cat eats well, it does not need to drink milk. Does your cat drink milk Most cats like milk, but too much of it can make them sick. They can only have a little milk.

According to a recent report from the United Nations, the world population continues (继续) to grow. It could reach 8.4 billion in the year 2025. But during the past 10 years or so, there has been a large and rapid (快速的) drop in the world’s birth rate.
Families are smaller now than they were a few years ago. It is happening in both developing countries (such as China and India) and developed countries (such as America and England). Some families don’t want to have more babies because they believe that it’s difficult for them to raise two or more children.

But in 2021, the Chinese government passed laws to encourage (鼓励) families to have three babies, because there are too many old people now. Some factories can’t find enough people to work. That’s terrible.
Several countries in Europe already have a negative growth rate. Experts say that these countries could face a serious shortage (短缺) of workers in the future. And those who are working could face higher taxes (税) to help support the growing number of retirees (退休人员).

Imagine a school where you are the only student—where you come first in every test. Welcome to the life of ten-year-old Aron Anderson, who goes to school in Out Skerries, a group of small, remote islands in Scotland. Aron has been the only boy at his school for two months.
The Out Skerries Islands, which are around 280 km from the coast of Scotland, are home to about 70 people. The nearest town is Lerwick on the Shetland Islands. You can only get there by boat and it takes two and a half hours. Apart from Aron’s school, there are two shops, a church and a community hall on the islands.
Aron isn’t the only child on the islands and he hasn’t always been the only student at the school. Until July there were several other children there, including Aron’s two brothers. But now they are older, so they go to the secondary school in Lerwick. They only go back to their homes at the weekend. Aron has been the only student since September.
The school is very small. It has two classrooms, an art room, a music room and a library. Each week Aron studies Maths, English, Science and Art with the same teacher. She also gives him PE lessons. This is usually an hour-long walk around the islands. He also has the school playground all to himself. Of course, there is one problem. He has no one to play with.
What’s more, Aron’s education isn’t cheap. It costs the UK government 75, 357 each year. That is twice the price it costs parents to send a child to Britain’s most famous private school, Eton. Some people want to close down the school. They think it is too much money to spend on one child’s education.
Aron has lived in Out Skerries since he was born and loves the outdoor life. He enjoys exploring the islands on his bike and diving into the sea from the pier. Like most boys his age, he also likes watching TV and playing on his games console.
But his mother, who works in one of the shops on the islands, is worried that Aron might get lonely. She would like to see more families with children coming to live there. A lot of people have moved away since the local salmon factory closed ten years ago. That’s why there are so few children on the islands and why Aron has found himself being known as the loneliest schoolboy in Britain.

We moved away from my grandmother when I was eight years old. I missed her a lot. I was her favorite granddaughter and she was my favorite grandma.
Two years later my mother and father separated and soon divorced. I felt as if my world was falling apart. I lived with my mother for a time, next door to my grandma and grandpa in an apartment while my father was away during World War Ⅱ.
