Tourists come in flocks from all parts of China to Rongjiang, a small county in a remote mountainous area,
which has recently become popular for its “Village Super League”, creating a spectacular sports carnival in China.
During a match in May, Wu Chuguo, a decoration worker from Liubaitang village, Rongjiang County, scored
a spectacular 40-meter goal that ignited (点燃) the crowd. Wu said he was influenced by elders in his village and
fell in love with the sport. In the county, rural soccer matches have taken place regularly since the 1990s. When
there was a lack of facilities, soccer players used barren land as a field and wooden stakes for the posts. The
boundaries were marked out with lime powder. When they couldn't gather enough players, they played futsal, a
soccer-based game played on a smaller hard court.
In recent years, the county has focused on gymnastics, soccer, rock climbing and other sports. What sets the
Village Super League apart from other sports events are the vivid displays of ethnic cultures and traditions at the
tournament. As players of both teams walk on the field for a game, they are accompanied by their cheering squads
(啦啦队 ) dressed in traditional ethnic costumes and carrying local specialties. The halftime break features folk
songs and dance performances, while ethnic costumes are also on display.
“hope that more and more tourists will come to Rongjiang to watch the matches, enjoy the folk customs and
local cuisine, and have fun,” said Xiong Zhuqing, a melon grower who is also a cheerleader. She says she has sold
over 10,000 kilograms of watermelons since the start of the tournament. As of June 27, a total of 654 new
businesses were established, including 91 in the catering sector, 188 in retail, and 195 in agriculture and food
processing, the local government said.
8. What can we know about the rural soccer match
A. It has been held since 1990. B. It lacks facilities for players.
C. It was invented by Wu Chuguo. D. It has taken place since the 1990s.
9. Why is the Village Super League different from other sports events
A. Because it has cheering squads.

C. Because it develops a top-level talent.
D. Because it reflects ethnic cultures and traditions.
10. What can we infer from paragraph 4
A. Xiong Zhuqing has helped farmers to sell watermelons.
B. The Village Super League stimulates the local economic growth.
C. The local government invested a lot of money in new businesses.
D. The Village Super League attracts a lot of merchants from other places.

The environment is a concern for many, and individual actions like reducing plastic use and recycling
contribute positively. However, some issues, like acid rain, require global policies and industry regulations to
address more effectively.
Acid rain has been observed for over 150 years, with Scottish scientist Robert Angus Smith identifying
elevated (偏高) acid levels in rain during the 1850s, correlating it with industrial growth. While natural events like
volcano eruptions contribute to acid rain, man-made sources like factories, power stations burning coal, and car
emissions are the primary causes. These emissions, containing nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxides, combine with
water in clouds to form sulfuric and nitric acids.
Technically known as acid deposition (沉积 ), acid rain occurs when acids move from the atmosphere to
Earth's surface through rain, snow, or fog, as well as dry particles and gases carried by wind. The impacts of acid
rain are significant, evidenced by lakes turning clear due to loss of life, deformed fish, dying trees, disrupted food
chains, and adverse effects on human health.
Efforts to combat acid rain began in the 1980s, resulting in reduced emissions globally and improvements in
rain acidity levels. However, challenges remain, particularly in farming and preserving natural ecosystems. While
the recovery process is ongoing, the effects of acid rain on structures, sculptures, and monuments serve as a
reminder of its long-term impact.
In conclusion, addressing acid rain requires collective action and ongoing monitoring to safeguard the
environment and human health, highlighting the importance of global cooperation in addressing environmental
challenges.
12. According to the passage , what are the major sources of acid rain
A. Recycling and reducing plastic use.
B. Natural events like volcano eruptions.
C. Factories, power stations and car emissions.
D. Individual actions to address environmental concerns.
13. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “combat” in paragraph 4
A. prevent B. ignore C. worsen D. promote
14. Which of the following statements would the author agree with
A. Natural events are the main cause of acid rain.
B. Acid rain has no significant impact on human health.
C. Global policies alone are sufficient to address the issue.
D. Effective measures require both global policies and individual actions.
15. What is the passage mainly about
A. The history of acid rain research.
B. Efforts to address acid rain pollution.
C. The impact of acid rain on the environment.
D. Individual actions to address environmental concerns.

I still remember the day I almost lost my best friend Anna.
It was a sunny afternoon in June, and we were having a picnic at the park. We had been friends since
childhood, and we shared everything: our hobbies, our dreams, our secrets. We were inseparable.
But that day, something changed. We got into a heated argument over a trivial(不重要的)matter. I don’t even
remember what it was about, but I know it was something silly and unimportant. Maybe it was about who ate the
last sandwich. It doesn’t matter now.
What matters is that we both said things we didn’t mean. We both raised our voices and hurt each other’s
feelings. We both acted stubbornly and refused to apologize. We both stormed off in different directions, leaving
behind our picnic basket and our friendship.
I spent the rest of the day alone in my room. I tried to distract myself with music, but nothing could fill the
emptiness in my heart. I wanted to talk to Anna and I wanted to say I was sorry. But I didn’t know how to do that. I
didn’t know if she would forgive me, or if she even wanted to see me again.
The next day, I went to school with a heavy heart. I avoided eye contact with Anna, and sat as far away from
her as possible. I pretended that I didn’t care, but I did. I cared a lot.
During the break, I saw her sitting on a bench, looking lonely and sad. She was holding a piece of paper in her
hand, and tears were rolling down her face. I felt a wave of regret. I wanted to go to her. But I didn’t have the
courage.
I turned around and walked away. I thought that was the end of our friendship, and that we would never speak
to each other again.
But I was wrong

82. As I was walking back to class, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Anna standing behind me,
holding out the piece of paper. It was a drawing of us, holding hands and smiling. Underneath it, she had written:
“I’ m sorry. Can we be friends again ” I looked at her, and saw the sincerity in her eyes. I got emotional and hugged
her. I said: “I’ m sorry too. Of course we can be friends again.”
Anna and I both smiled and cried. We forgave each other, and promised to never fight again. We realized that our
friendship was more important than any argument. We walked back to class, feeling happy and relieved. I had
almost lost my best friend, but I had found her again. We both had learned a valuable lesson that even best friends
need to communicate promptly to clear up misunderstandings. I will never forget that day, and I will always value
our friendship.
