I must have been about 8 years old, and we were nearing the end of the first chapter of Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rowl. My mother was reading, and as the words to those first few pages filled the room, I remember the feeling that my heart filled up. The boy, the dogs, the forest: it was all so amazing, so new, and yet somehow so familiar.
It was one of many books my mother read to us as children. She started before I can remember, and continued until she thought we were no longer into it. Actually, I never really did outgrow it. I knew it was special then, and I realize even more so now. I know reading to children has educational benefits that reach beyond childhood.
Perhaps the most important value is one that cannot be easily measured: quality time. We are fortunate in a number of ways if we had an adult in our lives who had the resources and time to read to us. The quality time reading provides is greatly needed in our fast-paced world. I remember how we all cried as we neared the end of Wilson Rawl's classic children's tale. I remember lying in a hammock (吊床) together giggling at a spiders artistic creations in Charlotte's Web. I recall not only the stories but also where we were when we read those stories: the precious moments of childhood, shared with my mother and brother.
When I think back to those moments with my mother, I am filled with memories of long summer afternoons when I sat next to her and the turning of those pages which is the greatest gift from those days. Those pages help a growing, learning young person build a sense of curiosity and a sense of humor. Perhaps most importantly, they introduce me to empathy and they open me to an appreciation of others' experiences, and this appreciation is sure to impact how I view others and the world around me. I'll always hold those memories dear.
35.How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1
A. By introducing a famous book.
B. By describing her mum's personality.
C. By making comments on Wilson Rowl.
D. By relating to her childhood experience.
36.What does the underlined word “outgrow” most likely mean in paragraph 2
A. Fall in love with. B. Lose interest in.
C. Get rid of. D. Pay attention to.
37.What is the text mainly about
A. The importance of reading.
B. The author's favorite books.
C. The great impact on one's life from literature.
D. The benefits of quality time spent on parent-child reading.
One e-toy for every person on Earth —that's the surprising amount of electric trains, talking dolls, and other children's devices thrown away every year. People usually consider electronic waste from computers, smartphones, and TVs to be e-waste, but they may not realize that “nontraditional” e-waste materials like power tools, LED lights, USB cables and countless other similar, also need special recycling. In all, people across the world throw out about 9 billion kilograms of e-waste commonly not recognized as such by people.
This “invisible e-waste” is the main focus of the sixth annual International E-Waste Day on October 14, organized by Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Forum. According to the findings, for example, the total weight of all USB cables thrown away every year equals 6 Eiffel Towers. Meanwhile, if all this invisible electronic waste were packed into trucks, it could fill half a million 40-ton trucks, enough to cause a long traffic jam covering about 3, 504 miles.
“People are familiar with common e-waste. But many invisible e-waste are ignored. How to have them recycled remains a big problem. ” Pascal Leroy, Director-General of the WEEE Forum, said in a statement. Pascal Leroy asks that instead of throwing them away, people should take it to the local recycling facility. He says that a lot of electronic waste is right around us, and we need to raise awareness about this issue. He also refers to past campaigns that successfully made people more aware of plastic pollution and believes the same can happen with e-waste awareness.
38.Which of the following belongs to the “invisible e-waste”
A. Smartphones. B. Computers. C. Talking toys D. USB cables.
39.Why does the author mention Eiffel Tower in paragraph 2
A. To make the number exaggerated.
B. To show the destination of the wastes.
C. To prove it also has the same problems.
D. To give a vivid description of the large amount.
40.What's Pascal Leroy's attitude towards public e-waste awareness
A. Hopeful. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Disappointed.
41.Which of the following can be the best title of the text
A. Recycle or Not That's a Problem
B. New Electrical Wastes that Go Unnoticed
C. The Shocking Amount of Electronic Products
D. The Focus of the Sixth International E-waste Day

45. My little brother Peter and I got permission from our parents to camp in a field close to our farm. But, being adventurous boys, we knew it would be more exciting to camp in the woods that lay beyond the river. Excited, we went away with our tent and food.
Carrying our heavy load, we walked along the riverbank, hardly noticing the distance or the burning sun. We were eager to reach our destination before lunchtime. Along the way, we saw some birds searching for food around a fallen tree trunk. As we entered the cool, shadowy woods, we began to search for a suitable camping spot. Peter wanted to stay close to the river at the edge of woods, but I insisted that we camp further away. Unwillingly, Peter followed me deeper into the woods. “This is really a wonderful setting! ” I said in excitement. We put up our tent, and settled down to eat the sandwiches we had made. About an hour later, we decided to find our way back to the river to catch some fish.

43.答案:known; a; was invented; Originally; failing; into; but; which; various; shows
解析:考查过去分词。句意: 臭豆腐在中国被称为"百豆腐", 是一种备受喜爱的街头小吃, 在夜市和路边摊上都有出售。know和它所修饰的词之间是被动关系, 所以用过去分词作后置定语, 故填 known。
②考查冠词。句意:臭豆腐在中国被称为“臭豆腐”, 是一种备受喜爱的街头小吃, 在夜市和路边摊上都有出售。泛指一个, 所以用不定冠词, delicious是以辅音音素开头的, 故填 a。
③考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意:它是由一个叫王志和的人发明的, 他住在清朝的安徽省。描述过去的事情, 所以用一般过去时态, invent和主语之间是被动关系, 所以用被动语态,主语为it, 所以be动词为was, 故填was invented.
④考查副词。句意: 王原本是一名学者, 但在考试不及格后,他决定在北京街头卖豆腐。修饰句子, 所以用副词, 句首单词首字母大写, 故填 Originally。
⑤考查动名词。句意: 王原本是一名学者, 但在考试不及格后,他决定在北京街头卖豆腐。作介词的宾语, 所以用动名词, 故填failing。
⑥考查介词。句意: 有一天, 他的豆腐卖不出去, 于是他把豆腐切成块, 放进罐子里储存起来。此处为动词短语cut...into pieces"把……切成碎片", into为介词, 故填into。
⑦考查连词。句意: 几天后, 当他重新打开罐子时, 闻到了一股难闻的味道, 但他还是决定尝一尝豆腐。前后是转折关系, 所以用连词but连接,故填but。
⑧考查非限制性定语从句。句意:如果人们想尝试一下, 他们只需要顺着气味, 就像一只烧焦的运动鞋, 然后他们就可以找到他的商店, 在那里可以找到各种各样的形式,包括油炸,蒸或带汤的。先行词为smell, 指物, 在非限制性定语从句中作主语, 所以用which引导, 故填which。
⑨考查形容词。句意: 如果人们想尝试一下,他们只需要顺着气味, 就像一只烧焦的运动鞋, 然后他们就可以找到他的商店, 在那里可以找到各种各样的形式,包括油炸,蒸或带汤的。作定语修饰名词, 所以用形容词, 故填various。
⑩考查可数名词的复数。句意:如今, 臭豆腐出现在纪录片和国际美食节目中,在全球范围内受到欢迎。此处表示"节目", show为可数名词,前面没有限定词,所以用名词复数,故填shows。
44.答案:Dear Friends,
I'm Li Hua, from Class 8. I'm giving this speech today to call on everyone to take part in the Clear Your Plate campaign. It urges people to save food by not wasting anything on the dining table. By fighting food waste, we can make significant progress towards a low-carbon lifestyle and green actions. In order to save food, I propose: First, do not order more than you need in the school canteen. Second, order less and take leftover food home when dining in restaurants. Third, call on family members and friends to take part in the campaign.
Together, let's show commitment to a sustainable future. Thank you.

45.答案: "Are you sure that this is the right way " Peter asked. I had to admit that we were lost. Staying calm, we tried to work it out. We managed to find marks, footprints, special plants we came across and the position of mountains. We also kept our ears tuned for the sound of the river while searching. Finally, our eyes fell upon a familiar sight—the fallen tree trunk. We made it!
Returning home, we couldn't wait to tell the anxious parents about our adventure story. "We got lost in the woods but found our way using nature's clues." We had thought our story would give them a thrill, but my father's response was so serious. "Next time, camp in the field." True as he sounded, losing our way just led us to the newfound wisdom from nature, not to mention that we got a story to share for years.
