Dear Anna,
I am so glad to learn that you are going to enter a Chinese character writing competition. But you seem to be a little worried about it and I have some advice for you.
As is known to all, a positive attitude to the competition contributes greatly to excellent performance. Therefore, keep calm and confident before and during the process. Secondly, when writing Chinese characters, employ the correct gesture of holding the pen, which, to some extent, determines the structures of your characters. Thirdly, everybody has his or her own style of writing. It is this personal feature that says a lot about you, thus probably enabling you to stand out among the competitors.
Hopefully the suggestions above will do you some good. And I do believe that, through your constant efforts, you will achieve success eventually. Best wishes for you!
Yours,
Li Hua

“It’s your turn, Anna,” Ms. Hammond said. Taking a deep breath, I stepped to the front of the room and cleared my throat. “This summer I ... well, I ...” I stared at the floor. This was my last chance to save my dignity with a fake adventure. Then I thought about how hard Grandpa worked to save out planet. Gathering my courage, I described the process of collecting and analyzing cow pop and how it was transformed into sustainable fuel. Surprisingly, my classmates listened attentively. As I concluded my sustainable adventure, I gracefully bowed to them.
The class cheered as I returned to my desk, and some of my classmates approached me with admiration in their eyes. Ember Adams, who has just shared her journey to Mount Everest, clapped me on the back. “That’s so cool. Anna! Turning poop into fuel That never cross my mind!” she exclaimed. Soon, others joined the conversation, intrigued by the unusual nature of my summer experience. A sense of relief, joy and pride overwhelmed me. Instead of being the target of laughter, I became the center of attention. My seemingly “stinky” summer vacation was actually not only a fabulous planet-saving adventure but also opened a door to my friendships with my new fifth-grade peers!

M: Hello, everyone. My name is John. I’m the teaching assistant for this lab session. Let me explain a little about it. As you may know already, it’s a required meeting once a week. I expect you to do all the experiments and keep the results in your lab notebook. I’ll collect the notebooks every two weeks. You’ll be graded on lab notebooks and quizzes. But the most important information I want to give you now is about safety. First of all, you must wear shoes that cover your feet in the lab. Tennis shoes are OK. Also, don’t wear loose clothes, long scarves, big necklaces, or loose belts—they get caught in something or fall into liquid. Another thing to do for safety is cleaning up. Be sure to put the waste in the correct containers. We can’t mix liquid with paper. This is extremely important. I don’t want any fires in this room. You are responsible for washing out your own lab equipment and putting it away. If you don’t do this, I will take away points from your grade. Nobody’s going to clean up after you. OK, any questions 太原市常青藤中学 平鲁区李林中学2024-2025年度下学期联考

If you always sit indoors for too long, putting on weight may become a trouble. Tired of all that fat?If so, these sports can help you burn the most calories.
Running
“Running is one of the best calorie burners out there,” qualified personal trainer Daniel Saltos says. An average person can burn anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories in one hour of running. “Speed, pace, and tolerance are all factors that can impact this range. But running uses every muscle group in the body, allowing you to burn more calories.”
Swimming
“Swimming is a workout that produces the lowest impact on body while it still can burn 1000 to 1200 calories in an hour session,” Saltos says. Swimming also improves heart health and increases strength — all great reasons for playing in the water.
Boxing
Not only is boxing a great way to release energy, but it also helps improve balance, builds up tolerance and strengthens the upper body and core. “Boxing helps you get a good calorie burn, too, with the average person burning up 400 to 800 calories in an hour session,” Saltos says.
Rowing
The pushing and pulling motion of rowing machines targets multiple muscle groups including the arms, core, and back, helping you to burn more calories. “An hour of rowing will burn 400 to 600 calories on average,” Saltos says.
21. Which sport can burn the most calories per hour
A. Boxing. B. Swimming. C. Running. D. Rowing.
22. What is the advantage of swimming according to the text
A. It produces low impact. B. It improves tolerance.
C. It enhances balance. D. It builds muscle groups.
23. Who is the text intended for
A. Great athletes. B. Fitness experts.
C. Overweight persons. D. Sports reporters.
B
Pat Smith, a 70-year-old grandmother, has become a famous environmental activist. She spent one year cleaning up litter from 52 beaches on the UK’s south coast.
Smith set out on her task in January to carry out her New Year’s resolution (决心) of making her community a better and cleaner place. The great goal came to her after watching a documentary on plastic pollution the previous year, and she knew she couldn’t just do nothing.
Over the year, Smith cleaned beaches from Coverack on the Lizard Peninsula to Blackpool Sands in Devon. Often, volunteers would join her in her efforts. During her beach cleans, Smith was sometimes mistaken for doing community service that have been ordered by court as a punishment. She said: “People don’t understand I’ve been doing this voluntarily. We should all take responsibility for picking up the litter as well as ensuring we don’t drop litter in the first place.”
She manages to make her hometown an example for the plastic-free movement in the United Kingdom. In order to help achieve this goal, she founded The Final Straw (吸管). “I founded The Final Straw to try and raise awareness of the very harmful damage we are doing to our oceans from our using single-use plastics. I feel I have a responsibility to my children and grandchildren to do something about it,” she said.
Her resolution year may be over but this grandma continues her pursuit (追求). “A lot of the rubbish I have picked up is everyday items,” said Pat. “These things are used by all of us and it is shocking to find them polluting our beautiful beaches. Please let’s try to be more thoughtful in this coming year. I’m driven to try and protect our living planet for my children and grandchildren and I will continue to do everything in my power to achieve that.” It’s particularly heartwarming to see more and more people taking part in it and learning about how plastic affects our world, as this gives us all a lot of hope for the future.
24. What contributed to Smith’s New Year’s resolution of cleaning her community
A. Community service. B. Serious pollution in her community.
C. A film or television program. D. Various ocean protection activities.
25. What’s people’s mistaken view about Smith’s action
A. She was forced to do that. B. She just pretended to be caring.
C. She actually did only a little work. D. She wouldn’t stick to the work for long.
26. Why did Smith found The Final Straw
A. To set a good example to other aged people.
B. To make people realize the problems with plastic waste.
C. To keep her promise to her children and grandchildren.
D. To stop the local companies from producing plastic straws.
27. Which words best describe Smith as an environmental activist
A. Polite and warm. B. Calm and helpful.
C. Clever and brave. D. Inspiring and determined.
C
Joy Harjo’s Poet Warrior is a wonderful book that mixes memoir (回忆录), poetry, songs, and dreams into something that opens a window into the most important events of Harjo’s life and invites readers to reconnect with themselves.
Poet Warrior is a spiritual companion to Crazy Brave, Harjo’s first memoir, but it operates alone and reading the first memoir isn’t a requirement in order to enjoy Poet Warrior. Rather than a memoir following a strict time order and detailing all major events, this book focuses on the role of poetry, art, and music in Harjo’s life and her development as an artist. This is also a book about pain and growth. Harjo talks about the significance of our ancestors’ stories and lessons, discusses the music that shaped her childhood in a broken home, and shares her understanding — and conversations — with other artists, her family, snakes, birds and plants. But the simplicity with which Harjo writes about deep things makes this a beautiful book.
Poet Warrior is also a guide to life for those willing to listen. She writes, “We are all here to serve each other. At some point we have to understand that we do not need to carry a story that is unbearable. We can observe the story, feel the story, let the story go and forgive the story. Then we can use the materials of it to build a house of wisdom.”
Joy Harjo is more than a poet, painter and musician; she is a spiritual being aware of the meaning of everything we can see as well as the things around us that are usually invisible. And Poet Warrior is an invitation to open our eyes and see it all with hers.
28. Which of the following best describes Poet Warrior
A. It is too difficult to be enjoyed by readers.
B. It is closely related to Harjo’s first memoir.
C. It describes Harjo’s life in a strict time order.
D. It has to be read together with Crazy Brave.
29. What does Harjo suggest we do with our painful past
A. Learn from it. B. Ignore it. C. Cover it up. D. Bear it silently.
30. What does the word “invisible” underlined in the last paragraph mean
A. Ordinary. B. Rare. C. Important. D. Hidden.
31. From which is the text probably taken
A. A biography. B. A short story. C. A book review. D. A writing guide.
D
Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.
Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.
Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”
Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.
BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual (虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.
32. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph
A. To explain what they are.
B. To introduce BookCrossing.
C. To stress the importance of reading.
D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.
33. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. The book. B. An adventure.
C. A public place. D. The identification number.
34. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it
A. Meet other readers to discuss it. B. Keep it safe in his bookcase.
C. Pass it on to another reader. D. Mail it back to its owner.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Online Reading: A Virtual Tour B. Electronic Books: A new Trend
C. A Book Group Brings Tradition Back D. A Website Links People through Books

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We live in a switched-on world in which it’s almost unthinkable to be without social media for so much as a day. The colorful images, interesting videos, bite-sized info, easy-to-read stories, viewing other people’s lives ... All is designed to keep us addicted. 36 An increasing number of studies indicate that social media can have a negative impact on our relationships IRL (that’s “in real life” for non-techies). The good news is that you don’t have to go backwards to avoid the dangers of social media. 37
Set time limits
Try the Pomodoro Technique. 38 Using this method, you break your workday into 25-minute periods separated by five-minute breaks. Use an ordinary kitchen timer (to get away from using your phone) to set limits and schedule an activity to do afterwards. Then when the timer rings, step away from your device and turn off those notifications.
39
The infinite scroll (无限滚动), as it’s termed by developers, is specifically designed to keep you aimlessly looking at news feeds, passively taking in everything you see. Before you go online, decide what you’re going for and stick to it. In this focused way you can go straight to what you want to see without mindlessly scrolling for things that don’t support your intentions.
Avoid comparison
40 This famous saying has never been truer than when we see other people’s seemingly “perfect lives” online. It can leave us feeling that we’re simply not good enough. Although comparing ourselves to others is normal human behavior, remember that people’s social media pages are not a true reflection of their real life.
A. Scroll freely.
B. Stay focused.
C. Comparison is the thief of joy.
D. However, there is a darker side.
E. True happiness comes from inner peace.
F. This time-management strategy breaks your time up into periods.
G. Instead, you can free yourself from dependence but still enjoy the positive side.

Today, giant pandas are considered to be one of the world’s best-known animals. People make huge efforts 56 (protect) them and luckily their efforts are paying off in some areas. 57 (global) recognized as a leading symbol of both China and nature conservation in general, giant pandas are popular in the world. But global interest in the animal only 58 (take) off in the 20th century.
The inspiration for WWF’s logo (标识) came from Chi Chi, 59 giant panda that was living at London Zoo in 1961 when WWF was founded. Being aware of the need for a remarkable symbol to break through all language barriers, one of WWF’s 60________ (founder) agreed to make the big furry panda with her distinctive black and white coat a great logo. The first pieces 61 were done by the British environmentalist and artist Gerald Watterson became modestly successful. Later, 62 (base) on these drafts, Sir Peter Scott, drew the first logo. He said at the time, “We want an animal that is beautiful and endangered, and is loved for its 63 (attract) qualities. We also want an animal that is black and white to cut printing costs. To our relief, we make 64 eventually.”
The panda has ever since become a symbol not only for WWF, 65 for the conservation movement as well.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,构成一篇完整的短文。
I chewed on my pencil as I walked back and forth across my bedroom. What was I going to do It was bad enough that I was the new kid. But now I was sure to get laughed right out of fifth grade. How could my first homework be such a disaster
“My name is Anna, and this summer I ...” I stopped. How could I stand in front of my class and say that I’d spent the entire summer handling something that most people don’t even like to talk about Poop (粪便). I’d spent three months shoveling (铲), collecting, and analyzing cow poop on my grandparents’ farm. I tried to think of a different adventure I could share. Maybe I could say I’d spent the summer on the Weather Control Team preventing floods.
“Time for dinner,” my mom called.
I walked slowly down the stairs and slid into my chair.
“You’ve been in your room since you came home from school,” Mom said. “What are you working on ”
I sighed. “I have to tell the class what I did this summer.”
My younger brother, Seymour, began to laugh uncontrollably. “No one will want to sit next to you after they hear you were covered in cow poop all summer!”
“OK, that’s enough, Seymour,” Dad said.
“Anna,” said Mom, putting green beans in a bowl, “be proud of the work we did this summer. Our planet would be in sad shape without scientists like your grandfather.”
It’s true that my grandfather does important work. He developed an easy way to use poop as a source of fuel. Using the poop is now easy, economical, and environmentally safe.
“I know, Mom,” I said, staring at my meatloaf. “But it’s not exactly something people want to hear about before lunch.”
That night I dreamed about more splendid adventures: cave diving in Mexico; hiking through the Amazon rainforest.
At school the next day, I bent over my desk, listening to each kid speak. My palms were sweaty, and the knot (结) in my stomach grew tighter.
“And that was my journey to Mount Everest,” Ember Adams said, finishing her report. She bowed and took her seat.
