【答案】Dear John,
I hope this email finds you well. I’m writing to invite you to join our club’s trip to visit a modern farm this weekend. It’s a great opportunity to experience firsthand how technology is revolutionizing agriculture.
We plan to depart on Saturday morning and return in the afternoon. The farm boasts advanced farming techniques and equipment, and we’ll have guided tours to learn about sustainable farming practices. Lunch will be provided at the farm, featuring fresh, locally-grown produce.
I’m sure you’ll find it both educational and enjoyable. Let me know if you can make it!
Yours,
Li Hua

【答案】The injured man was in danger of dying at any time. Healy, without hesitation, broke the back window of the car with a tire iron he had in his own vehicle. Despite the intense heat and smoke, he managed to crawl into the burning car. With great difficulty, he unfastened the passenger’s seat belt and, with the help of the police officer, carefully pulled the unconscious man out of the vehicle. They quickly moved him to a safe distance from the fire, where paramedics (医护人员) could take over and provide emergency medical assistance. Healy’s quick thinking and brave actions undoubtedly saved the man’s life.
Days later, the injured man phoned Healy to express his thanks after he became conscious. He tearfully shared how he had been trapped and feared for his life until Healy appeared like a guardian angel. The man’s family also reached out to Healy, expressing their deep gratitude. They invited Healy and his family to a special thank-you dinner, where they could personally show their appreciation. Healy, humbled by the experience, simply said, “I was just doing my job.” However, for the man and his family, Healy’s actions were nothing less than heroic, and they would forever be grateful for the off-duty firefighter who turned a vacation into a lifesaving mission.

When I was ten years old, one night I sat up in my bed, letting out a cry from my mouth. I was a young boy and had been sleeping deeply a few seconds before. The light rain that was falling when I went to sleep, however, had turned into a big and noisy storm while I dreamed. The lightning (闪电) that had just hit felt like it was right outside my window. It took me a long time to fall back asleep again.
The next day I walked out to a small spring about 50 yards from our home and saw where the lightning had hit. It had hit an Oak tree seriously. I felt bad for the tree, knowing that it was completely destroyed (毁坏). The next year, though, I noticed that the tree hadn’t died. In fact, it had fresh, new, green leaves growing on it and the burnt parts of the tree was starting to grow back too. I was amazed at this growing tree and couldn’t believe that it still grew after such a hard hit.
Now, I’m an adult. Recently, I was reading something that threw fresh light on that tree. It was a scientific study that showed that the forest floor is all connected as a whole. When one tree is hurt, he other trees will share their own nutrients (营养) to keep it alive and growing through their root system (根系). Reading this made me smile.
Looking back at my own life, I see that I have taken quite a few lightning hits as well. Yet, through them all, I have felt the love of those around me. I doubt if even the strongest tree could stand what each of us goes through in this life. Thankfully, we aren’t alone. We are a part of a loving forest. And when one of us gets hurt, others are always there to help us recover. We aren’t meant to stand alone.

C. He couldn’t sleep all night. D. He was woken up by a loud noise.
5 What surprised the author very much
A. The great power of a storm. B. The discovery of a small spring.
C. The strong life force of the tree. D. The secret of the tree’s root system.
6. What does the scientific study show about trees in a forest
A. They can communicate with each other like humans.
B. They share nutrients with each other when one is hurt.
C. They have strong roots that keep them from any storm.
D. They can grow fast because they are connected together.

Ma Myung-sun didn’t expect much from the bananas he planted on a farm in Seoul. He must use a greenhouse for part of the year to protect the bananas from South Korea’s cold winters. But warmer temperatures because of climate (气候) change have produced a welcome surprise in the form of flowers and fruit.
The land area where tropical crops (热带作物) are grown in South Korea has increased from about 295 hectares (公顷) in 2021 to 3,306 hectares in 2023. There are 67 banana farms in the south. And Ma is among a growing number of farmers experimenting with crops usually grown in a warmer climate.
“I want to try growing other tropical crops too. So, as you can see here, I have planted these papaya trees as well,” Ma said, pointing to a small papaya plant.
Ma opened up part of his family’s farm to people from the city in 2006. He is happy about his small success but he worries about what it means for the climate. “I feel that the climate problem has become very serious,” said Ma, who has been a farmer for 25 years.
South Korea lies in the temperate zone and has four seasons. But its climate appears to be getting warmer and wetter throughout the year. The average (平均的) yearly temperature has been continually rising. The average temperature of 13.7 degrees Celsius last year was the highest since its records began in 1973.
Rainfall during last year’s rainy season was 660.2mm nationwide, nearly two times the 356.7 mm annual average figure. South Korea’ s climate conditions are becoming more like those of tropical areas, so farming experts say it is important for farmers to find the right crop types for the climate.
Tropical fruits are usually expensive in South Korea, so shoppers should welcome the less costly local produce. “My kids love bananas. So, it would be good if we can buy bananas grown in our own country,” said Kim Ji-youn, who was buying imported (进口的) bananas in a Seoul supermarket.
8. What’s the influence of climate change on Ma’s farm
A. The area where crops can be planted has become smaller.
B. It has required him to water the crops more often.
C. It has made it possible to grow some tropical crops.
D. The farm’s production of traditional crops has dropped.
9. What are South Korean farmers advised to do
A. Improve traditional crops. B. Choose proper crops to grow.
C. Pay attention to climate change. D. Plant crops in the rainy seasons.
10. What can we know from the last paragraph
A. South Korea has to import fruit every year.
B. Tropical fruit is difficult to sell in South Korea.
C. Bananas grown in South Korea may be welcome.
D. Local produce is of higher quality than imported products.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Lasting Weather Changes Cause Farmers’ Worry
B. People in South Korea Get Better Tropical Fruit
C. Rising Temperatures Harm Traditional Farm Crops Unexpectedly
D. South Korean Farmers Try Growing Bananas in Warmer Weather
D
Teachers in many English classes across America are having students read fewer full-length (标准长度的) books. Scientists probed the problem in education not long ago.
They report that students are given only short parts of books. Educators said this is because they believe today’s students have shorter attention lengths than those of the past. The teachers might feel stressed to prepare students for state and nationwide examinations known as standardized tests. They also might believe that short pieces of writing will help students in the modern world.
The National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) is a professional organization for teachers based in Champaign, Illinois. In 2022, the group made a statement about reading. “It is time to make reading and writing the height of English language arts education,” the group said.
Seth French helped write the statement. He said the idea was not to take away books but to teach media literacy and have students read things in which they are interested. French used to teach an English class. He had students read plays, poems, and articles but only one book as a class. He said, “A lot of our students are not interested in some of these texts that they didn’ t have a choice in.”
Maryanne Wolf studies the human brain at UCLA in Southern California. Wolf said deep reading is important to make connections stronger in the brain tied to critical (批判性的) thinking skills, background knowledge and empathy.
Terri White teaches at South Windsor High School in Connecticut. White no longer assigns (布置) the book To Kill a Mockingbird to her class. She assigns about one-third of the book and provides a very short part of the rest of the book. White says the reason is that the class has to move quickly so she can teach all the required materials (材料).
White also gives less homework because students have sports and other activities. She said she wanted her class to be“more about helping students become stronger and more critical readers, writers and thinkers, while taking their social-emotional well-being into consideration.”
12. What does the underlined word“probed” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Recorded. B. Examined. C. Designed. D. Doubted.
13. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Teachers’ difficulty in teaching.
B. Effects of nationwide examinations.
C. The necessity for students’ writing short pieces.
D. The reasons for students’ reading fewer full-length books.
14. What did the NCTE suggest in its statement
A. Controlling the number of books students read.
B. Choosing some materials attractive to students.
C. Teaching short materials like poems only.
D. Assigning more short pieces of writing.
15. Why does White deal with the book To Kill a Mockingbird that way
A. She wants to save some time.
B. The book doesn’t attract her students.
C. She expects her students to better understand the book.
D. It is difficult for her to find enough materials about the book.

An off-duty officer from the New York Fire Department saved a man from a burning car on his way to a family vacation.
Early Monday morning, George Healy, who has served the city for 34 years, was beginning an18-hour drive to Disney with his family. As they traveled along the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn, traffic came to a sudden stop, and Healy noticed there was a serious accident ahead.
Realizing the signs of a fire, Healy went into action hurriedly. “I jumped out of the car and started running up the highway,” he said. Healy arrived at the site (现场) to find broken pieces here and there across the road.
Two cars were so badly damaged (损坏). Luckily, someone had called 911. An ambulance (救护车) had arrived, and the doctors and nurses were hurrying to deal with the injured. Both drivers were seriously injured and they were taken to the ambulance for first aid.
And more seriously, one car caught fire, and the fire was spreading quickly. The car was filling with smoke, and the fire was burning wildly almost in the whole car. The situation was getting worse. Even more unfortunately, there was a passenger in the back seat of the car, who was also seriously injured. He must be taken out as soon as possible.
With the passenger door damaged so seriously and the fire burning everywhere, Healy quickly judged the bad situation and realized that the man was unconscious (无意识的) in the back seat. As the fire grew more dangerous, Healy, along with a police officer who had just arrived at the site, immediately took action to save the injured passenger.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The injured man was in danger of dying at any time.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Days later, the injured man phoned Healy to express his thanks after he became conscious.
