Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.
Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟).
Don’t argue (争辩) with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!
35．According to the passage who have a communication problem
A．parents and other people B．only school kids and their parents

C．agree with them all the time D．tell your parents what you care about

A．How to bridge the generation gap B．How to deal with family problems

This is the year 2070. I have just turned 50, but I look like a person of 85. I’m seriously ill because I don’t have enough water to drink. I’m afraid I don’t have much time left to live. I am already one of the oldest people in this society.
I remember when I was five years old, everything was very different. There were lots of trees in the parks. I could enjoy a shower for half an hour. At that time, women had beautiful hair. Now, we have to cut off all our hair to keep our heads clean without the use of water.
I remember there were “Save Water” warnings in many public places, but nobody paid attention. We believed water would last forever. Now, all the rivers and lakes are either dry or polluted. Water is much more expensive than gold and treasure.
Without water, almost all factories are closed. Most people are out of work. Those who have jobs work in desalination（海水脱盐）plants and are paid with drinkable water rather than with money.
In the past, doctors suggested adults drink eight glasses of water a day. Nowadays, I am only allowed half a glass. Most people are weak. Young people in their early 20s look as if they were in their 40s.
Because there are few trees, we don’t have enough oxygen. We have to pay for air. The air is not very good in both cities and countrysides, but at least we can breathe. Poor people get sick and die young. The average life expectancy（平均预期寿命）is 40 years.
When my son asks me about my childhood, I tell him about how pleasant it was to fish in the rivers and how healthy people were. When he asks, “Why is there no clean water now ”, I feel a strong sense of shame. I belong to the generation（一代）who turned a blind eye to all the warnings.
I wish this letter could travel back in time and that it would make people living in the 2020s truly understand something.
40．According to Jane, in 2070, people keep their heads clean by ________.
A．taking showers B．paying for water
C．using water in the parks D．cutting off all their hair
41．When Jane was a kid, ________.
A．most people saved water
B．children could fish in the rivers
C．most rivers were heavily polluted
D．people only drank half a glass of water a day
42．Jane feels a strong sense of shame because ________.
A．poor people get sick and die young
B．there are fewer and fewer trees around people
C．the air is not very good in both cities and countrysides
D．people of her age paid little attention to water problems
43．The purpose of this letter is mainly to ________.
A．help people today to imagine places of interest in the future
B．offer ways for governments today to prevent water problems
C．help common people today to realize the importance of saving water
D．push scientists today to make resolutions to deal with water problems
四、单词拼写

Young star shines
Over the years, Chinese players have been doing very well in table tennis. Now, young athletes from Generation Z (Z世代) are becoming the stars of the game.
Born in 2000, Sun Yingsha has been given the nickname (绰号) “Little Devil” by her fans. When she was little, Sun was sensitive (敏感的) to the sound of a table tennis ball hitting the ground. “I felt I had some talent,” she told China Daily. Becoming a world top player like her idol Zhang Yining has always been her dream.
However, there have been challenges along the way. She took part in the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and it was there that she faced huge losses. “I was not well-rounded (全面的) enough to win the gold medal in the women’s singles (单人),” Sun said.
Sun believes that life is always full of ups and downs. “Courage and a strong mind can make a good athlete,” she said. “What keeps me going are the goals and dreams I set for myself.”
At the 2023 Singapore Smash, Sun won the women’s singles, the women’s doubles, and the mixed doubles, becoming the first athlete to get three gold medals at the tournament (锦标赛). During the fierce competitions on the table tennis court of the Paris Olympics in 2024, Sun attracted people’s attention with an amazing “leaping crash (跳跃扣杀)”.
When talking about younger table tennis players, Sun advises them to keep their love and stay focused (专注的). “If you truly love table tennis, I hope you can hold on to it,” she said.
55．When was Sun Yingsha born
56．Did Sun Yingsha face any challenges during her journey as a table tennis player
57．How many gold medals did Sun Yingsha win at the 2023 Singapore Smash

What will happen ▲The balloon does not pop, even though it has a skewer in it.
Why won’t it pop *Rubber is made out of long chains of molecules（分子）. *The skewer pushes these molecules aside. *The molecules mix with the liquid soap and they stick together tightly. *The liquid soap on the skewer fills the hole and the air cannot get out.

【答案】26．C 27．B 28．D 29．D
【导语】本文主要介绍了一个有趣的实验，用涂了油的竹签扎气球，气球不会破。
26．词义猜测题。根据表格中“Blow up a balloon, let some of the air out of it, and then tie it closed with a string.（吹一个气球，放出一些空气，然后用绳子把它系紧。）”可知，划线单词所在句是指“不要使气球完全充满气”，所以inflate是“充满”的意思，与fill意思相近。故选C。
27．推理判断题。根据表格中“What will happen ”及“The balloon does not pop, even though it has a skewer in it.”可知，空白处是在介绍结果，应填入Result。故选B。
28．细节判断题。根据表格中“If there is no string, just make a knot with the mouth of the balloon.（如果没有绳子，就用气球的嘴打个结。）”可知，我们可以在没有绳子的情况下进行实验。故选D。
29．推理判断题。根据表格中“*The molecules mix with the liquid soap and they stick together tightly.（分子与液体肥皂混合，它们紧紧地粘在一起。）*The liquid soap on the skewer fills the hole and the air cannot get out.（签子上的液体肥皂填满了孔，空气出不来。）”可知，由于分子和液体肥皂粘在一起，空气很难从孔中排出。表述正确。故选D。

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.
Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟).
Don’t argue (争辩) with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!

A．parents and other people B．only school kids and their parents

This is the year 2070. I have just turned 50, but I look like a person of 85. I’m seriously ill because I don’t have enough water to drink. I’m afraid I don’t have much time left to live. I am already one of the oldest people in this society.
I remember when I was five years old, everything was very different. There were lots of trees in the parks. I could enjoy a shower for half an hour. At that time, women had beautiful hair. Now, we have to cut off all our hair to keep our heads clean without the use of water.
I remember there were “Save Water” warnings in many public places, but nobody paid attention. We believed water would last forever. Now, all the rivers and lakes are either dry or polluted. Water is much more expensive than gold and treasure.
Without water, almost all factories are closed. Most people are out of work. Those who have jobs work in desalination（海水脱盐）plants and are paid with drinkable water rather than with money.
In the past, doctors suggested adults drink eight glasses of water a day. Nowadays, I am only allowed half a glass. Most people are weak. Young people in their early 20s look as if they were in their 40s.
Because there are few trees, we don’t have enough oxygen. We have to pay for air. The air is not very good in both cities and countrysides, but at least we can breathe. Poor people get sick and die young. The average life expectancy（平均预期寿命）is 40 years.
When my son asks me about my childhood, I tell him about how pleasant it was to fish in the rivers and how healthy people were. When he asks, “Why is there no clean water now ”, I feel a strong sense of shame. I belong to the generation（一代）who turned a blind eye to all the warnings.
I wish this letter could travel back in time and that it would make people living in the 2020s truly understand something.
40．According to Jane, in 2070, people keep their heads clean by ________.

五、任务型阅读
阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
Young star shines
Over the years, Chinese players have been doing very well in table tennis. Now, young athletes from Generation Z (Z世代) are becoming the stars of the game.
Born in 2000, Sun Yingsha has been given the nickname (绰号) “Little Devil” by her fans. When she was little, Sun was sensitive (敏感的) to the sound of a table tennis ball hitting the ground. “I felt I had some talent,” she told China Daily. Becoming a world top player like her idol Zhang Yining has always been her dream.
However, there have been challenges along the way. She took part in the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and it was there that she faced huge losses. “I was not well-rounded (全面的) enough to win the gold medal in the women’s singles (单人),” Sun said.
Sun believes that life is always full of ups and downs. “Courage and a strong mind can make a good athlete,” she said. “What keeps me going are the goals and dreams I set for myself.”
At the 2023 Singapore Smash, Sun won the women’s singles, the women’s doubles, and the mixed doubles, becoming the first athlete to get three gold medals at the tournament (锦标赛). During the fierce competitions on the table tennis court of the Paris Olympics in 2024, Sun attracted people’s attention with an amazing “leaping crash (跳跃扣杀)”.
When talking about younger table tennis players, Sun advises them to keep their love and stay focused (专注的). “If you truly love table tennis, I hope you can hold on to it,” she said.
55．When was Sun Yingsha born
56．Did Sun Yingsha face any challenges during her journey as a table tennis player
57．How many gold medals did Sun Yingsha win at the 2023 Singapore Smash
58．What is Sun Yingsha’s advice to younger table tennis players
59．What do you think is the most important for an excellent table tennis player
【答案】55．In 2000. 56．Yes, she did. 57．Three./3. 58．If you truly love table tennis, hold on to it. 59．I think the most important thing for a young athlete is to have a strong will and perseverance.
【导语】本文主要讲述了孙颖莎在乒乓球上的天赋和以及她所取得的成就。
55．根据“Born in 2000, Sun Yingsha has been given the nickname…”可知，孙颖莎生于2000年。故填In 2000.
56．根据“However, there have been challenges along the way.”可知，孙颖莎在职业道路上遇到了一些挑战。故填Yes, she did.
57．根据“At the 2023 Singapore Smash, Sun won the women’s singles, the women’s doubles, and the mixed doubles, becoming the first athlete to get three gold medals at the tournament (锦标赛).”可知，孙颖莎在2023年新加坡大满贯赛中获得了三枚金牌。故填Three./3.
58．根据“If you truly love table tennis, I hope you can hold on to it”可知，她给年轻的乒乓球选手的建议是：如果你喜欢乒乓球，就坚持下去。故填If you truly love table tennis, hold on to it.
59．开放性问题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：I think the most important thing for a young athlete is to have a strong will and perseverance.
六、翻译
60．最后，初中的结束也是新生活的开始。
【答案】Lastly, the end of junior high school is the beginning of a new life.
【详解】“最后”译为lastly，副词，因其位于句首，所以首字母要大写；“……的结束”译为the end of；“初中”译为junior high school；“……的开始”译为the beginning of；“一种新生活”译为a new life；故填Lastly, the end of junior high school is the beginning of a new life.
61．我正要睡觉，电话响了。
【答案】I was about to go to bed when the telephone rang.
【详解】be about to do...when“正要做某事的时候，突然……”，主语是I，此处是描述过去的情况，所以be动词用was；go to bed“睡觉”；telephone“电话”；ring“响”，过去式为rang。故填I was about to go to bed when the telephone rang.
翻译句子。
62．既然她如此勤奋，她不会介意去做额外的工作。
63．我正在写信推荐他为足球俱乐部成员。
64．老师叫我们不要忘记去做我们要做的事情。
65．我认为如果你尽力的话能做好任何事。
【答案】62．Since she is so hard-working, she won’t mind doing extra work. 63．I am writing to recommend him to be a member of the football club. 64．The teacher told us not to forget the things we need to do. 65．I think you can do anything well if you try your best.
【解析】62．since既然，引导原因状语从句；hard-working勤奋的，在句中做表语；mind doing sth.介意做某事。extra额外的，是形容词，修饰名词work。
63．根据句意可知，这句话表示正在进行的动作，应使用现在进行时态，主语是I，be动词用am，后面跟现在分词writing；recommend sb. to do sth.推荐某人去做某事；a member of…的一名成员。
64．这句话使用的句型是tell sb. to do sth.告诉某人做某事，否定形式在动词不定式的符号to前加not；we need to do是一个定语从句，修饰先行词the things。
65．这句话中if引导的是条件状语从句，try one’s best是固定短语，尽某人的最大努力。do anything well做好任何事。
点睛：这个题目考查的是汉译英，我们需要注意英语表达和汉语习惯的不同，注意使用正确的语序，并且注意时态、名词、形容词、介词短语等的用法。翻译的时候，需要从句子的整体考虑，如主从句，应使用的短语、句型等。第1小题考查了since引导原因状语从句，并且使用了句型mind doing sth.；第4小题句中使用了if引导条件状语从句，短语try one’s best是尽力的意思。
