I met my best friend Lily when we were 10 years old. She came into our little country school like a breath of fresh air, making my life new, different and more exciting. She was funny, she was creative and best of all, she loved to read — just like me!
During lunch breaks, we would often sit in the school library, lost in books. We discussed our favorite characters in novels and shared our different understandings of the stories. Through those conversations, we not only deepened our friendship but also opened our eyes. Even on our way home, we would talk about whatever book we were reading, which gave us a chance to escape our small country town. We went on many adventures together, even if they were only in our imaginations.
Lily was always in my corner. Once, I was too shy to take part in a school speech competition. Lily encouraged me, “Do you remember Anne from Anne of Green Gables She’s brave to face up to any challenge. I believe in your abilities! Have a try!” With her support, I finally signed up. She helped me prepare the speech, practicing with me every day after school. Although I didn’t win first prize, the experience built up my confidence and I knew that I couldn't have done it without Lily.
We also had our share of difficulties and disagreements. Divided opinions didn’t part us, but brought us to heart-to-heart talks, and we became even closer after. High school life was full of challenges, but with Lily by my side, it became much more enjoyable.
She is not just a friend, but a sister to me. I am truly grateful to have her in my life.

Three experimental fields of seawater rice (海水稻) were harvested in China on Wednesday. Also known as saline-alkali tolerant rice (耐盐碱水稻), the seawater rice is designed to grow in seaside flats or other areas with high salt content (含盐量) and has been developed by experts through crossbreeding (杂交) and other technologies.
One type of seawater rice growing in Qingdao, Shandong Province, produced 3.9 metric tons (吨) per hectare (公顷), experts announced. Once widely planted in large areas, the output could be much higher.
The Qingdao Saline-Alkali Tolerant Rice Research and Development Center, led by the Chinese agricultural scientist Yuan Longping, was established several years ago. It set a three-year goal of developing a kind of salt-resistant rice which is able to produce 4.5 tons a hectare (公顷), which would make sure the farmers the minimum profit. The average rice output in China is 6.75 tons a hectare.
Planting in the experimental field in Qingdao and five other areas of saline-alkali land started at the end of May. The five other plots were in Dongying, Shandong Province; Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province; Yan’ an, Shaanxi Province; Kashgar (喀什), the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (维吾尔自治区); and Daqing, Heilongjiang Province. The sites represent actually every type of saline-alkali land in China and researchers aim to grow different kinds of rice able to deal with different climate, salinity and soil structure conditions.
The test crops in Kashgar and Daqing were also harvested on Wednesday. In Kashgar, the output reached more than 7.5 tons per hectare, according to experts’ tests, much higher than expected. The harvest in Kashgar was satisfactory. The result means it is possible to plant such salt-resistant rice in southern Xinjiang in the future. Xinjiang has about 2 million hectares of saline-alkali land that have the potential to be planted with salt-resistant rice, and if it is widely planted it will generally improve rice production in the region.
The seawater rice grown in Daqing only produced 3.1 tons per hectare. A live video on Shandong TV showed growers appearing a little disappointed by the result, as they hoped the experts’ efforts would increase production greatly. However, the water and soil conditions of the Shangdong were not ideal, and the pH level was extremely high.
28．Which is the main feature of seawater rice according to paragraph 1
A．It has a shorter growing period. B．It can grow in the soil with high salt content.
C．It is a kind of highly productive crop. D．It is the combination of many technologies.
29．How much rice does a farmer harvest at least to get the minimal profit
A．3.9 tons a hectare. B．7.5 tons a hectare.
C．6.75 tons a hectare. D．4.5 tons a hectare.
30．The researchers chose the experimental fields according to ________.
A．the local population. B．the local agricultural budget.
C．the type of the soil and climate. D．the local agricultural policies.
31．What can we infer about the seawater rice from the last paragraph
A．The seawater rice is not fit for all kinds of saline-alkali soil.
B．The seawater rice all have a poor harvest in these areas.
C．Growers from Shandong Province were very disappointed by the result.
D．The output of the seawater rice grown in Kashgar is satisfactory.
Learning English well is important for high school students, but it’s not always easy—especially for those who find it hard to remember new words or speak confidently. However, with the right strategies, anyone can improve their English skills.
First, learn words in context instead of just memorizing lists. For example, when you read an English story, write down new words along with the sentences they’re in. This helps you remember how to use the words correctly. Second, practice listening every day. You can watch short English videos on topics you like, such as sports or music, and repeat the sentences you hear. This improves your pronunciation and helps you understand native speakers better.
Third, don’t be afraid to speak English in class. Even if you make mistakes, your teacher and classmates will help you. You can also join an English study group after school—talking with other students about simple topics like hobbies or weekends makes speaking less scary. Finally, set small, achievable goals. For instance, “I will read one short English article this week” or “I will learn five new words every day.” Achieving these goals will make you feel more confident and motivated to keep learning.
Remember, learning English is a slow process—don’t give up if you don’t see progress right away. Keep practicing, and you’ll get better.
32．What is a good way to learn new English words
A．Memorize long lists of words
B．Learn words in context with sentences
C．Only learn one word per month
D．Forget words after writing them down
33．How can students improve their English listening
A．By watching short English videos
B．By reading Chinese books
C．By writing long English essays
D．By listening to Chinese music
34．What does the writer suggest students do to practice speaking
A．Speak English only at home
B．Join an English study group
C．Avoid speaking in class to avoid mistakes
D．Talk to native speakers only
35．Why should students set small English learning goals
A．To finish learning English in a week
B．To feel more confident and motivated
C．To avoid doing homework
D．To focus only on reading skills
How to become a morning person
Everyone knows that early to bed and early to rise is good for your health. Keeping enough sleep, people can make themselves refreshed and dynamic. However, it usually takes a lot of willpower to wake up early on a winter’s day. 36 . With all these tips, you’re not afraid of getting up early on a freezing winter.
Seek out as much sunlight as possible. 37 When you wake up, go outside for a relaxed walk, or sit in the sunlight while you have a cup of coffee to avoid being in asleep state all along, you’d also better raise the curtains so that you won’t have a very dark sleeping environment.
38 . If you fly straight into getting up at your expected time every day, you’ll feel tired during the transition (过渡) within a few weeks. For some people, those first few days from your old routine to a new schedule aren’t safe and hard to bear. In that case, gradually ease into the early-bird life. They should shift (转换) half an hour, wait a few days, shift another half an hour, wait a few days, and then shift another half an hour. 39
Reduce stress and relax in the evenings. A continuous bedtime isn’t as important as sticking to the same wake up time every day, but it’s still important to make sure you’re getting enough sleep. 40 So you’ll need to inch your bedtime forward as you shift a new schedule. Start at least an hour before you hit the bed and cut back on stuff related to daily life.
Taking these tips into consideration, you are much more likely to be a morning person.
A．Develop the habit step by step.
B．That’s much easier for people to tolerate (忍受).
C．The sun is the driver of our internal clock (生物钟).
D．Stop the previous sleep habit immediately.
E．Here are some steps to take to become a morning person on a cold day.
F．Therefore, developing a healthy sleeping habit is very significant.
G．Without enough hours of sleep, the mind and body can’t properly recharge (恢复体力).

四、语法填空
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
We use both words and body language to express 56 (we) thoughts and opinions in interactions with other people. Just like spoken language, body language 57 (vary) from culture to culture. For example, making eye contact — looking into someone’s eyes — in some countries is a way 58 (display) interest. In other countries, eye contact is not always approved 59 . For example, in many Middle Eastern countries, men and women are not 60 (social) permitted to make eye contact. In Japan, it may demonstrate respect to look down when talking to 61 old. The gesture for “OK” has different 62 (meaning) in different cultures. In Japan, someone 63 witnesses another person employing the gesture might think it means money. However, you should avoid making this gesture in Brazil and Germany. Even the gestures we use for “yes” and “no” differ around the world. In many countries, 64 (shake) one’s head means “no”, and nodding means “yes”. By 65 (compare), in Bulgaria and southern Albania, the gestures have the opposite meaning.

Kenneth was born and raised in California. The sun, the beaches, and the friends he’d known since kindergarten were all part of his world. But at the age of 16, everything changed. His parents got new jobs in Ohio, and the family had to move there. It was a difficult decision, as it meant leaving behind everything Kenneth knew and loved.
Along with the move came a new school for Kenneth. He felt upset every time he thought about saying goodbye to his school. He was scared of the change, like the new city, the new school, and the new people he would meet. He didn’t know if he could fit in or if he would be lonely there.
After a long journey across the country, the family arrived and finally settled in Ohio. When it was time to go to his new school, Kenneth’s mind was filled with worries. What if the students were unfriendly and even cold What if he didn’t make any friends
The next morning, Kenneth’s parents drove him to school. His heart was beating in his chest as they pulled up to the big brick building. He hugged his mom and dad, took a deep breath, and stepped out of the car. With each step towards the school gate, his anxiety grew. He felt like he was walking into a whole new world.
Kenneth was greeted by a school secretary, who was very friendly. Seeing that Kenneth was nervous and shy, she decided to show Kenneth around the school yard first. Kenneth was led to the modern computer lab, the science lab, and the huge gym with a basketball court where Kenneth imagined trying out for the school team. As they walked around, Kenneth gradually felt the school seemed nice, starting to feel a little better.
Finally, they got to the teaching building and headed for Kenneth’s new classroom, and Kenneth’s heart started racing again. The school secretary led him to the door and gave Kenneth an encouraging smile.

The Gallarhouse was built in seventeen eighteen and was used as a hotel for over one hundred and fifty years. George Washington stayed here in seventeen eighty two. The galler family owned the building until the nineteen thirties. Then they sold it to the Mills family. Five years ago it was made into a building for the old. All the electric wires in the building were checked and most of them were changed then. Several fire departments were called to the scene. When we asked fire chief Andrew barns have the fire started. He answered that a burning cigarette most likely caused it.

The Scientist I Admire MostDistinguished teachers and fellow students,
It’s a great honour to stand here to deliver my speech, whose topic is “The Scientist I Admire Most”. For me, it must be the outstanding agricultural scientist, Yuan Longping who is widely known as the “father of hybrid rice”.
Yuan was born in Beijing in 1930 and graduated from Southwest Agricultural College in Chongqing in 1953. Since then, he worked on the land and did research to solve the national starvation. After many trials, he succeeded in developing the hybrid rice, feeding more people both at home and abroad.
I was inspired by his diligence to his work and his devotion to making a difference in the world. Thanks for your listening!
67．例文
Kenneth took a deep breath and entered the classroom. He noticed that all eyes were on him as he walked in. It was quiet for a moment and he felt his face got hot. Trying to calm himself down, he knew he was supposed to introduce himself. Though his voice was shaky, Kenneth managed to tell them a little about himself. After the introduction, the class clapped and cheered warmly and they seemed happy to have him there, which was quite a surprise and comfort for Kenneth. He became a little less nervous, and he started to feel like maybe he could make friends here.
As the day went on, Kenneth found that what he had worried was unnecessary. The classes were interesting, and the teachers were helpful. During the breaks, he was surrounded by the enthusiastic classmates and they chatted about their interests and had fun together. After school, some of the students invited him to play basketball in the school gym. The day ended up with surprise. Kenneth realized that change wasn’t always bad. It was scary at first, but it had led him to new experiences and friendships. He learned that he was stronger than he thought and that he could adapt to new situations.
