On the day the tornado hit, there was no sign that the fierce weather was on its way — the sky was blue and the sun had been out. The first warning my husband, Jimmy, 67, and I, 65, got came around 9 p.m., from some text on the TV Jimmy was watching. He ran upstairs to find me in our third-floor bedroom, and we changed the channel from the national television to our local Pensacola, Florida, station.
Soon the tornado was on top of us. It was the loudest thing I had ever heard. The house shook, and the power went out. And the wind began to roar (咆哮) through the house, most likely through windows and the door to our garage. Everything was moving. And the back wall of the house came off and flew into the darkness outside. We had three flights of steps to get to the storeroom down there, the relative safety of the first floor.
I didn’t know how or if we would make it down the steps. It felt as if there was no floor as the wind lifted me off my feet. As we finally reached the last flight of steps, our front door blew open. Suddenly, a three-foot-long tree branch (树枝) flew over our heads, missing us by inches.
By the time I reached the storeroom, the tornado had been over us for about a minute, Jimmy pushed me down to the storeroom floor, but he couldn’t get inside himself because of the wind. I held Jimmy’s arm as the tornado blew the door open. My knees were full of glass, but I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have flown right out of the house.
All of a sudden, Jimmy lifted off his feet. I thought he was gone. And then everything stopped. He landed on his feet. In those first quiet moments, I couldn’t believe it was over. Our neighbor said the storm lasted four minutes. In that time, four of the twelve town houses in our unit were completely destroyed. Luckily, none of us were seriously injured.
24. Where did the couple learn about the coming fierce weather
A. From the dark sky. B. From the radio station.
C. From the news report on TV. D. From the text sent by their neighbors.
25. What can we infer from Paragraph 2 about the couple
A. They had no place to hide.
B. Their house was badly destroyed.
C. Their garage was blown into pieces.
D. They tried to get out of the house.
26. What do we know about Jimmy when the author reached the storeroom
A. He was in great danger. B. He flew out of the house.
C. He was seriously injured. D. He got inside the storeroom.
27. What is the best title of this text
A. A Tornado Hit Florida B. A Woman Hid in a Storeroom
C. A Wind Blew a House D. A Couple Survived a Disaster
C
Imagine the situation. You are driving along a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device which uses satellites to find the user’s position. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are.
GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put it in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.
There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.
The GPS is becoming cheaper and more and more accurate. There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.
28. According to the passage, with the help of GPS, people ________.
A. can’t be lost in a new city
B. can’t find their way in different countries
C. can learn about the culture of an unknown place
D. can spend the least time getting to another place
29. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. there are three parts to the GPS
B. a GPS can’t be put into a watch
C. a GPS can help you start your car
D. the GPS is becoming more and more expensive
30. The underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 means “________”.
A. receivers B. GPS devices C. satellites D. ground stations
31. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. the history of the GPS B. the three parts of the GPS
C. the shape of the GPS D. the introduction of the GPS
D
Koalas live in the eucalyptus (桉树) forests of southeastern and eastern Australia. They rely on the eucalyptus tree for both habitat and food. In fact, they seldom leave these trees. When not sleeping, they’re usually eating. They can eat more than a pound of eucalyptus leaves a day. Eucalyptus is poisonous, so the koala’s digestive (消化的) system has to work hard to digest it, breaking down the poisons and taking in the limited nutrients (营养). That’s why koalas sleep for 18 to 22 hours a day — they get very little energy from their diet.
Koala numbers decreased in the late 19th and early 20th century from hunting for their fur. Now they face serious threats from habitat loss. Land clearing and bush fires — especially the 2019-2020 Australia Bushfire Season — have destroyed much of the forest they live in. Koalas are easy to be affected by climate change. Increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is decreasing the nutritional quality of eucalyptus leaves and causing longer, more serious droughts and wildfires. In response to drought, koalas are forced to stop sleeping and come down from the trees to find water, putting them at a higher risk of being killed.
Koalas have been identified by the Australian government as one of the 113 animals requiring urgent (紧急的) help. Ensuring there’s the right kind of forest for them to return to is extremely urgent. State governments should create new koala reserves and persuade landowners not to cut down eucalyptus trees. Meanwhile, getting the public to understand koalas’ living habits and their health will throw light on koala biology, which helps to develop plans to better protect the species.
32. What can we learn about koalas
A. They like moving around very much.
B. They have developed smart survival skills.
C. They can be found everywhere in Australia.
D. They get many nutrients from eucalyptus leaves.
33. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. Koalas’ newly-formed habits.
B. Koalas’ decreasing population.
C. The potential threats to Koalas.
D. The outcomes of increased carbon dioxide.
34. What is the most important thing to do right now to protect koalas
A. Conduct the research on their living habits.
B. Make sure they can have their habitat back.
C. Realize that they are sensitive to climate change.
D. Educate people about the awareness of protecting them.
35. From which is the text probably taken
A. A nature magazine. B. A travel brochure.
C. A sports newspaper. D. A health magazine.

Why Exercise Is Cool
● Exercise Strengthens Muscles
Did you ever do a push-up or a swing across the monkey bars on the playground 36 By using your muscles to do powerful things, you can make them stronger. For older teens and
adults, this kind of workout can make muscles bigger, too.
● 37
Can you touch your toes easily without yelling “ouch” Most kids are pretty flexible, which means that they can bend and stretch their bodies freely without much trouble. Being flexible is having “full range of motion, “which means you can move your arms and legs freely without feeling tightness or pain.
● Exercise Keeps the Balance
38 Your body needs a certain amount of calories every day just to function, breathe, walk around, and do all the basic stuff. 39 But if you’re not very active, your body won’t need as many calories. Whatever your calorie need is, if you eat enough to meet that need, your body weight will stay about the same. If you eat more calories than your body needs, it may be stored as extra fat.
● Exercise Makes You Feel Good
It feels good to have a strong, flexible body that can do all the activities you enjoy — like running, jumping, and playing with your friends. It’s also fun to be good at something, like scoring a basket, hitting a home run, or perfecting a dive. But you may not know that exercising can actually put you in a better mood. 40 It’s just another reason why exercise is cool!
A. Exercise Makes You Strong
B. Exercise Makes You Flexible
C. Those are exercises that can build strength.
D. If you exercise every day, your body will become better and better.
E. If you’re active, your body needs an extra measure of calories or energy.
F. Food gives your body fuel in the form of calories, which are a kind of energy.
G. When you exercise, your brain releases a chemical, which may make you feel happier.

English is the international working language so it is 56 (wide) used in the world. English has gone through three periods: Old English, Middle English and Modern English.
In the 57 (five) century, three Germanic groups — the Anglos, the Saxons and the Jutes invaded Britain and they spoke similar languages, 58 developed into what we now call Old English.
Unlike Old English, Middle English can 59 (read), although with difficulty, by modern English-speaking people. Many factors contributed to the development of Middle English. However, in 1066, the Normans 60 came from France took control 61 England, which did not have the same result that the Germanic invasion had about 600 year earlier. But French still had 62 influence on English. This led to even more pairs of similar words.
From the 16th century, the British began to communicate with many peoples from around the world. This meant many new 63 (word)entered the language. Modern English, quite different from Old English and Middle English, includes many Latin 64 Greek words. As we all know, people will keep 65 (invent)new words and English will be changing over the time.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Dad and Madison were walking through the party store, gathering decorations for Madison’s upcoming birthday party. Every year, her parents would hold a birthday party for her to invite classmates.
“But I don’t want to invite Lucy Gilbert!”
“We already discussed this. You are inviting all the girls from your class.”
“But I don’t like Lucy Gilbert!”
Lucy Gilbert was a new girl in class. Her family just moved here a little over a month ago. As a new classmate, she always sat in the corner by herself and didn’t talk to anyone. And every day at lunch, she sat all by herself, eating alone.
“Madison, you are being unreasonable. Think about how she would feel. She doesn’t know anyone in the school. She left all of her old friends behind and now she has to try to make new friends. Your party will be a great chance for her to get to know everyone.” Madison rolled her eyes. Sometimes Dad just didn’t get it.
On Saturday morning, her parents were busy preparing for the party while Madison and her best friend were feeding her horse Star in the barn. What she loved most was to be outside riding her horse. And what she talked about most in school with her friends was her Star.
Madison greeted her friends at the doorstep, picturing various presents her friends would bring her. In the meanwhile, she was wondering whether Lucy would ruin the party if she came. Anyhow, all the girls she invited came finally, including Lucy. The girls had a fantastic time by singing and dancing while Lucy sat in the corner silently alone. Later, all the girls gathered around the table as Madison opened her presents. Opening them one by one, Madison thanked her friends, with a bright smile on her face.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Lucy’s present was the very last to be opened. ______________________________________________________

Dear Peter,
How is it going I’m glad to receive your letter asking for my advice on how to learn Chinese well. Here are a few suggestions, which I hope might be of some help.
First, it is important to take a Chinese course and practice with your fellows. Besides, you can watch TV and read books, newspapers and magazines in Chinese whenever possible. At last, it would be a good idea to learn to sing Chinese songs.
I hope you will have fun in learning Chinese and try writing to me in Chinese next time.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

【参考范文】
Lucy’s present was the very last to be opened. Madison picked up the present and tore the wrapping paper. Worrying that it would ruin the party, Madison opened it slowly. To her surprise, a handmade blue horse rope came into view, which was so beautiful under the sunshine! Madison was amazed at its beauty, when Lucy said, “It’s a horse rope for your Star. I made it by myself!”
Madison pulled the horse rope out of the old box. With her eyes tied to it, Madison said in excitement, “It was the prettiest one I’d ever seen!” Holding the horse rope, Madison suddenly realized she had been so mean to Lucy. With tears welling in her eyes, she felt a mixture of regret and gratitude. “Thank you so much!” Madison said sincerely, putting her arm around Lucy’s shoulders. They eventually became good friends.
