Last month, I received an unusual birthday present in the mail. My sister sent me a “moldy log”, a wonder waiting to be unfolded. It was a block of material with mushroom mycelium (菌丝体). If tended properly. it would fruit into a crop of nice king oyster mushrooms (杏鲍菇).
My kids were absolutely baffled by it. “Will this old thing grow mushrooms ” they asked in disbelief. I followed the directions and our effort was rewarded. Within days. little mushrooms appeared. They grew so fast. When we harvested them, they were one of the most delicious things we had eaten.
The whole idea of DIY mushroom growing attracted me, so I reached out to Emily Nigh, founder of a new mushroom-growing company based in Winnipeg. When I described my idea to her, she expressed enthusiasm.
“There are different kinds of mushrooms you can grow,” said Emily. “My favorites grow in large clusters (簇). The smaller the cap, the tastier they are for eating.” She added, “King oyster mushrooms tend to be a popular choice because they are not picky about conditions and are so delicious. They should always be cooked, too.”
I was happy to see that my DIY process had been a great success. It might fruit again in two weeks’ time if I kept taking care of it regularly. But if not, I can plant it in the garden and possibly get another crop in the fall. Anyway, Emily said, “The log is a great compost (堆肥) once it has finished fruiting.”
As more people try to reduce the amount of meat they consume, mushrooms are going to become a more important part of our diets. If we can grow them at home or buy them from local growers, all the better.
4．What does the underlined word “baffled” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Confused. B. Inspired. C. Touched. D. Annoyed.
5．Why did the author meet with Emily Nigh
A. To make friends with her. B. To ask how to cook mushrooms.
C. To learn to run a company from her. D. To know more about mushroom growing.
6．What did Emily Nigh do during the author’s visit
A. She expressed her appreciation. B. She showed some achievements.
C. She presented some facts about mushrooms. D. She shared many of her childhood experiences.
7．How did the author feel about the DIY process
A. Satisfied. B. Disappointed. C. Tired. D. Shocked.
A family sit around their dining room table on an average evening, sharing a meal together. Yet the children in the family are not sharing time with each other, but spending it on their devices (设备). Many teenagers’ lives are being damaged due to social media use which should be banned for minors (未成年人) as it is addictive, reduces real-life interactions, and causes poor mental health.
Admittedly, social media leads to addiction. In the beginning, social media platforms had one purpose—connecting people. Yet, these platforms have different intentions now, like advertisements. The users are no longer the customers but the advertisers. To make more money from their advertisers, social media is designed to be addictive to keep the consumers using the sites as long as possible. These sites stimulate (刺激) the brain to release dopamine, rewarding the behaviour and making users want to continue the habit.
Teenagers often use social media to spend their spare time. However, after some time, they begin using it when they should not. The more they use it, the more they want to use it again. Teenagers may use it to make friends, but this makes them feel even more isolated. Social media is decreasing the attention span of teens, making it harder for them to complete everyday tasks.
Many minors’ real-life interactions are weakened due to the use of social media. Teenagers are reported to use texting more than any other form of communication. This is a concern because texting does not include much nonverbal communication, making it harder for those using social media to read emotional cues (暗示) associated with personal, social and academic success. Teens who understand emotional cues can have better peer relationships. As a result, many teenagers who spend too much time on social media have difficulty communicating in person because they have trouble understanding others’ emotions.
8．Why are the children mentioned in paragraph 1
A. To give a reason.
B. To lead in the topic.
C. To offer an explanation.
D. To describe the background.
9．What does the underlined phrase “the behavior” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Using social media. B. Connecting people.
C. Making more money. D. Stimulating the brain.
10．Which of the following may the author agree with
A. Social media helps make teenagers more focused.
B. Teenagers use social media mainly to make friends.
C. Social media harms teenagers’ real-world social skills.
D. Teenagers using social media have trouble in texting.
11．What is the text mainly about
A. The functions of social media.
B. The main problem of social media.
C. The ways to avoid using social media.
D. The bad impact of social media on teenagers.
Hundreds of fish in Canada beat the heat in human-made streams of cold water. The approach could help protect cold-water species as climate change warms rivers.
Fish can become stressed or even die when the water gets too hot. In rivers, Atlantic salmon and other cold-water species sometimes escape the heat by swimming to cooler zones. Such cool sites may be found near groundwater springs. These small rivers and streams flow into larger waterways.
"People have done a lot to preserve and add to these natural shelters," said Kathryn Smith, a civil engineer in Canada at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Her team worked on the new river-cooling project. She said, "Until now, there hasn't really been an emphasis if we can create cold-water habitat."
To test the idea, her team pumped(用泵输送) groundwater from a nearby well into the Wrights River in Nova Scotia. The groundwater was 9 ℃. This created an artificial stream of cool water. It was up to 20℃cooler than the surrounding water.
This stream attracted several hundred fish of different life stages and species. These included Atlantic salmon. Most were fry(鱼苗)，young still carrying their eggs' yolk sacs. These small fry hung out in the stream throughout the test. But when a heat wave raised river temperatures to about 30℃, older fish took shelter in the stream, too.
The team also tried a second approach. They changed the route of some water from the river into an underground trench(沟). Here, the water cooled a bit before flowing back into the river. This method cooled part of the river without needing a pump. The water temperature fell by only a few degrees Celsius this way. But even so, fish were spotted in the cooled flow throughout the summer.
12．What did the team do during the project
A. They raised different fish.
B. They made the water cooler.
C. They dealt with climate change.
D. They developed a lot of streams.
13．What can we know about Atlantic salmon from paragraph 2
A. It dislikes too hot water. B. It dies from other fish's hunting.
C. It is always found in the spring. D. It prefers to live in small streams.
14．Which word can best describe the project
A. Costly. B. Effective.
C. Meaningless. D. Historic.
15．What may be the best title for the text
A. Climate change forced fish to escape
B. Fish sought cold water to avoid dying
C. A project protected fish from the heat
D. A team preserved the rivers in Canada
二、七选五
16．In today's fast-paced world, music has become an important part of our lives. Music training not only provides people with the ability to appreciate and create music, but it also offers many benefits that extend beyond the area of melody(旋律). ① .
Improving cognitive (认知的) abilities
Music training has been proven to improve cognitive abilities in various ways. Learning to play an instrument involves reading sheet music and memorizing melodies. ② . Researchers have also found that music training can boost some skills, which are crucial for mathematics and engineering.
Expressing emotions

④
Learning music requires long-time practice, which needs a lot of attention and effort. Music training teaches individuals the value of hard work, determination and devotion. Through consistent practice, people have the ability to focus for a long time, a skill that goes beyond music and can be applied to academic and professional pursuits.
Learning social skills

34．In a busy city, an old man rode his tricycle(三轮脚踏车) along the street. His face was full of the lines of time. His hands held the handlebars with care. He was returning home from the market, and his tricycle was filled with fresh produce.
When he was wondering how much he could sell the produce for, he got distracted(思想不集中的) and the tricycle hit a car which was parked by the roadside. The old man's heart sank as he surveyed the long scratch(划痕) damaging the new paintwork of the expensive car. He stood there with worry and regret on his face. He knew the value of such a car and the potential cost of the damage. "I can't afford this," he whispered to himself sadly.
Just then, a stranger approached the old man. The stranger, dressed in a sharp suit, looked at the scene and immediately realized the situation. "The paintwork is damaged. Can you afford to pay for the damage " he asked gently. The old man shook his head and looked down. "No, I can't," he replied.
The stranger looked around and spoke in a low tone. "If you can't afford it, why don't you leave Do you wait for the owner to come " It was more of a suggestion than a question. A small smile appeared on the stranger's mouth.
The old man hesitated, torn between his sense of responsibility and the practicality of the stranger's advice. After a moment of internal struggle, he made his decision. He pulled an old plastic bag out of his pocket. He put all the money inside, which was less than twenty dollars, under the wiper(雨刷) of the car. Then, he felt the scratch on the car with his hands. With one last look at the damaged car, he began to push his tricycle away, glancing back every few steps.

33．答案：
Dear Owen,
I'm sorry to hear about the recent trouble you've encountered. It's a tough situation to be in, but please know it's never too late to turn things around.
Money is an essential resource, but it isn't the only measure of success or happiness. It's a tool that should be handled with consideration. The true value of money lies in its ability to give us what we need.
Here is my advice for you. Firstly, consider creating a budget. This will help you keep track of where your money is going. Additionally, try to save a little bit each month. Even a small amount can add up over time and provide you with a safety net for unexpected expenses.
I'm sure your parents will see your efforts. Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
