小作文：
Last Thursday and Friday witnessed an exciting sports meet at our school, with over 1500 teachers and students participating enthusiastically. It was a grand affair, allowing everyone to enjoy the unique charm of sports.
It started with an inspiring speech by the principal and featured a wide range of events. In the long-distance running, the athletes showed their perseverance, running lap(一圈) after lap. The relay races(接力赛) were full of tension, as each team member passed the baton(接力棒) with accuracy. The field events, such as the long jump and the shot-put(掷铅球), also attracted much attention. The audience was deeply involved, shouting and clapping all the time.
This sports meet is of great significance. It not only enhanced students’ physical fitness but also cultivated their teamwork spirit. Moreover, it added more color to our campus life, promoting a positive campus culture.

Mr. Thompson listened carefully and then took over the guitar. He played the song that Tim performed in the competition. Such wonderful music left Tim shocked. Before Tim could say a word, Mr. Thompson proposed giving him free music lessons. Tim agreed happily. Over the following months, with Mr. Thompson’s encouragement and guidance, Tim made rapid progress. With skills and confidence improving, Tim recorded his music and shared it online. People were drawn to his music, and he won lots of applause. A music producer was deeply impressed by Tim’s talent and decided to cooperate with him. So Tim left his hometown, walking closer to his dream.
Two years later, Tim returned to his hometown for his own concert. He went to Mr. Thompson’s house and knocked at his door excitedly, hoping to invite him to the concert. However, Tim got no response. He then was told that Mr. Thompson had moved for a long time. At the live concert, Tim performed a song specially for Mr. Thompson. When the last note was played, he stood up straight and took a bow, showing his sincere gratitude to his teacher. Nobody noticed an old man, in the last row, clapping hands for the excellent player. And that’s Mr. Thompson, smiling with tears of joy shining in his eyes.

Text 10 世界上最高的女性首次坐飞机
W: Rumeysa Gelgi has held the record for “the World’s Tallest Living Woman” since 2021. Gelgi, who stands 7 feet tall, frequently travels to share her story, but never on an airplane. She is too tall to fit in a standard airplane seat. But thanks to Turkish Airlines, she finally experienced the magic of flying.
The historic 13-hour journey, from Istanbul, Turkey to San Francisco, California, occurred in September 2022. Turkish Airlines removed 6 economy seats to fit Gelgi’s custom stretcher. In the photos posted on the Internet, Gelgi is seen chatting with the airline staff and enjoying a delicious chocolate cake.
The Turkish resident’s first brush with fame came in 2014 when she was named “the World’s Tallest Living Teenager”. Gelgi broke the record for “the World’s Tallest Living Woman” in October 2021. She broke 3 more records in February 2022, namely “the Largest Hands on a Female Person”, “the Longest Finger on a Female Person”, and “the Longest Back on a Female Person”.
Gelgi’s figure is caused by a rare genetic disorder called Weaver syndrome. People with the condition are usually very tall. Other symptoms include limited mobility of the joints. They fall over easily. Gelgi relies on a wheelchair to get around, but she has learned to be proud of her differences. She says, “Every disadvantage can be turned into an advantage, so accept yourself for who you are, be aware of your potential and do your best.”南充高中高2024级高一下期期中考试

I was 11 years old standing outside in just my underwear while I watched the house that I grew up in rapidly burn to the ground.
A few minutes earlier, I had been in bed when a scream woke me up. My grandma’s bedroom was just next to mine and my brother’s. A fire had broken out there and awakened her. Hearing her, my brother jumped into action, running from room to room quickly waking everyone in the house. Before we could do anything, the fire destroyed it. We all had just made it outside when the flames (火焰) took hold of every room.
I stood there shaking while the fire destroyed my books, clothes, and toys. I watched helplessly while my mom cried and my dad sighed. I wondered what was going to happen to us because we had lost all our things.
As I looked around, though, I realized something for the first time: The things that mattered were not things. I saw my brother running around to get help. I saw my grandma and dad wrapped in each other’s arms and my mom holding our little dog. I realized at that moment that we were all alive. Our lives would continue without the “stuff” that was burning. We would all live to love each other for many years to come. And that was all that mattered.
24. Who first found the house was on fire
A. The author. B. The brother. C. The grandma. D. The parents.
25. What was the author thinking about when seeing everything destroyed
A. He was wondering how the fire got started.
B. He was worried about their life after the fire.
C. He was mad about losing his clothes and toys.
D. He felt lucky that they were saved by the firefighters.
26. What does the author mainly want to tell readers in paragraph 4
A. That their life and family matter most.
B. That his family was lucky enough to escape.
C. That family and pets both meant a lot to him.
D. That the things burned in the fire didn’t matter at all.
27. Which of the following quotes is the author most likely to agree with
A. “Keep calm and carry on.” —the Ministry of Information, UK
B. “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” —Friedrich Nietzsche
C. “You’ll be alive. That’s what matters. Enjoy what you have.” —Richelle Mead
D. “Home is where you are loved the most and act the worst.” —Marjorie Pay Hinckley
C
Teenagers who spend more than three hours a day on social media may have doubled the risk of mental health problems compared with those who avoid it, research suggests.
The study of more than 6,000 teenagers aged 13 to 17 found those who used social media more heavily were more likely to report situations such as sadness, anxiety and loneliness, as well as aggression(攻击性) and anti-social actions, than teenagers who did not use social media. The findings held true even when researchers took into account mental health problems experienced by young persons in the year before their social media use.
Some existing studies haven’t proved poorer mental health caused by the use of smart products. Dr RinaDutta, Clinical Senior Lecturer at King’s College London, said, “A main strength of this study compared to present research is that the researchers took into consideration mental health problems the young people already had a year before the measurement of social media use. This largely overcomes the ‘what came first — mental health problems or high social media use ’question. ”
The study looked at two types of actions that can show mental health problems: internalising(内化) and externalising(外化). Internalising can include social disconnection or difficulty dealing with anxiety or sadness. Externalising can include aggression or breaking instructions. The study found that fewer than 17 percent of teenagers did not use social media. Of those who did, 32 percent spent less than 30 minutes a day; about 31 percent spent 30 minutes to 3 hours; 12 percent spent 3 to 6 hours and 8 percent spent more than 6 hours per day.
Lead author Kira Riehm said, “Social media does have the ability to connect teenagers who may be unsociable in their daily life. But we need to find a better way to balance the benefits of social media with possible harmful health results. ”
28. What does the research aim to prove
A. The advantages and disadvantages of social media.
B. The mental health problems experienced by teenagers.
C. The connection between mental health and screen time.
D. The sadness, anxiety and loneliness caused by social media.
29. What’s the advantage of the research compared to existing studies
A. It supports less use of social media.
B. It includes more subjects than before.
C. It reports health risks due to screen time.
D. It considers former mental health problems.
30. Which might be one of the internalising actions
A. Fighting against others. B. Challenging traditional rules.
C. Refusing to complete tasks. D. Being afraid of talking to people.
31. Which statement on social media will Kira Riehm agree with
A. Its role needs weighing carefully. B. It is necessary for life.
C. It influences people differently. D. Its benefits outweigh its risks.
D
Southern Europe is facing a water crisis that could lead to a decrease in food production, especially in agriculture. Decreasing agricultural production in Europe and reduced water resources are future dangers as worldwide temperatures continue to rise, the world’s top climate scientists say.
Part of the Vinuela reservoir(水库) is seen dry due to lack of rain in La Vinuela, southern Spain, Feb. 22, 2022. Declining agricultural production and reduced water resources are key risks as global temperatures continue to rise.
Spain is facing one of the driest winters on record. Juan Camacho，a farmer in the southern province of Granada, said, “We are facing a drastic situation.” In Portugal, authorities have limited the use of some reservoirs for hydroelectric(水力发电的) power and irrigation as the country experiences an unusual winter drought.
Located between Costa del Sol and the Sierra Nevada mountains in southern Spain, Montes’ land should have plenty of water. But with 41 percent less rain than average since October, dams contain almost no water. Private sources of water, such as ponds that are supposed to last farmers through summer, are empty. “As farmers, we are used to dealing with drought,” said Montes, who learned the job from his father when he was 14. “But every year we see less and less rain. I fear for my livelihood.”
As warming rises faster in Europe than the worldwide average, experts painted a picture of a divided continent. They suggest that the south would become increasingly dry and the north could take on a Mediterranean(地中海的) climate that might provide some increased crop production and forest growth, but with risks of its own.
Rachel Licker, a climate expert at the Union of Concerned Scientists, told The Associated Press, “There are some vegetables and warm climate crops that might see benefits in the short term. The major crops that are exported and really form the basis of a lot of the economy are the ones that are likely to be negatively affected.”
32. What is a major factor of the water crisis according to the passage？
A. Improper management. B. Polluted environment.
C. Limited use of reservoirs. D. A warmer climate.
33. What does the underlined word “drastic” in the third paragraph probably mean？
A. Impressive. B. Serious. C. Positive. D. Attractive.
34. What can we learn from the fourth and fifth paragraphs？
A. This is the first time that the farmers have suffered so much from the drought.
B. Montes’ land has plenty of water because it has not been affected by the drought.
C. Northern Europe relatively doesn’t suffer a lot partly due to the Mediterranean climate.
D. Private sources of water which include ponds can help farmers last through summer.
35. Which of the following might be the best title？
A. Droughts in Southern Europe B. Reduced Food Production
C. A Water Crisis Hit Europe D. Natural Disaster Strikes Often

There lived a ten-year-old boy named Tim in a small town. Though born in a family that struggled to make ends meet, Tim was a bright and lively boy, having a strong passion for music. He held a dream that he could perform music for many people at his own concert in the future.
One day, word reached Tim about a local music competition, the prize of which was a full scholarship to a highly regarded music academy(学院). This was an opportunity that seemed like a golden ticket to his dream, so he made the decision to participate. After hurrying to sign up for the competition, he made a plan to practice, day in and day out, using an old guitar that had been passed down from his grandfather.
When the day of the competition finally arrived, Tim felt a mixture of nervousness and excitement. He stepped onto the stage and poured all his heart, soul, and love into the music. He felt rather satisfied with his performance.
During the following days, he waited for the result anxiously. However, he didn’t win. He completely broke down, feeling all his painstaking efforts were for nothing. A deep sense of discouragement settled over him. His parents knew that his skills are not good enough but didn’t know how to comfort him. Tim was always sitting, playing his old guitar in the park, with nobody to talk with.
A few weeks later, a man named Mr. Thompson moved into the neighborhood. Little did anyone know that Mr. Thompson was a guitar master who once shared the spotlight on stages with well-known bands but now sought the peace of a quiet life. One day, he happened to spot Tim sitting alone, playing the guitar with a disappointed expression. He approached Tim and started a conversation. Tim opened up to him about his experience in the competition.
