We saw many unfortunate events. However, there were also the bright news that showed the goodness of mankind. As a journalist, I wrote many human interesting stories during my career. That’s why the story about the guys in the bakery caught my eyes.When the staff at a Mexican bakery chain in Houston were stuck inside the building for two days, they didn’t sit there feeling sorry for themselves. They used their time wisely after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey. While they were waiting for the rescue (救援) that came on Monday morning, four decided to make as much bread as possible for their community.The flood water rose in the street outside. They took advantage of their emergency power supply(备用电源) to bake bread. They used more than 4,200 pounds of flour to create plenty of sweet bread. Although the water kept rising, they continued baking to help more people. By the time the owner managed to get to them, they had made so much bread that we took it to the people affected by the floods.The store manager, Brian Alvarado, told The Independent, “Whenever a disaster happens, nobody should just feel forlorn. Instead, we should take positive action to save ourselves and help others. Our acts of kindness will make a big difference.”19．What did the bakery store workers do after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey?A．They ate nothing but to wait for their community to rescue them.B．They managed to live by selling more bread in the store.C．They felt sorry that they couldn’t escape from the store.D．They volunteered to make bread for their community.20．Which of the following best explains “forlorn” underlined in the last paragraph?A．Desperate.   B．Hopeful. C．Positive. D．Lucky.21．What can we infer from the text?A．The author preferred to write stories about people facing disasters.B．Hurricane Harvey caused a power failure in Houston.C．The staff in the bakery sent enough flour to emergency centers.D．Alvarado organized his workers to bake much bread.22．What can be the best title for the text?A．Bake Bread to Make a Difference in Face of Hurricane HarveyB．Wait for the Rescue in a Big DisasterC．All Kinds of Disasters Caused by Hurricane Harvey in Houston AD．Popular Mexican Bakery Chain in Houston A zero-waste life is a lifestyle that hardly creates any rubbish. So, a zero-waste store is about providing a kind of everyday and pleasant-looking zero-waste products to help people start on a zero-waste life journey.“Zero waste” or “danshari” was first suggested by a French woman called Bea Johnson. Her idea is: live a life and try not to create any rubbish; use different kinds of ways to save the environment such as stopping the use of one-off objects; giving unwanted things to others or giving them away to organizations like the Red Cross.Yu Yuan, 27, is deeply interested in this idea. She and her boyfriend have lived in Beijing for many years. And earlier she used to buy things without thinking about them carefully until she saw a video about “zero waste”, in which a family of four placed the rubbish they produced every year in a jar (罐). After watching the video, Yu wanted to experience this zero-waste lifestyle with her boyfriend.A zero-waste life follows the 6R rule—Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle and Rot. Over August—October when Yu followed the rule of zero waste 6R, she and her boyfriend Joe Harvey both produced only two cans of rubbish.Now, the couple have opened a small shop in Beijing, where they use wood products to take the place of plastic ones and cloth bags printed with environmentally friendly logos. Most products sold in the store can be reused. The store also has second-hand books and CDs/DVDs with ideas to make the best of the used things.“Those who once experienced the non-waste lifestyle have slowly changed their ideas,” says Ya, “The zero-waste lifestyle is not for ascetics (苦行僧). It is just around us at our finger-tips.” Yu expects some of her friends to join her on the road to zero waste.23．Bea Johnson suggests that people should ________.A．work hard for the Red Cross B．share objects with othersC．help their friends live comfortably D．try to produce no rubbish in life24．We can see from the passage that Yu Yuan ________.A．likes listening to CDs very much B．is influenced by the 6R ruleC．often buys things she doesn’t need D．offers plastic bags in her store25．What Yu Yuan says in the last paragraph probably means that ________.A．the zero-waste lifestyle is not difficult to live B．she feels it hard to continue her lifestyleC．her friends have followed her lifestyle D．lots of people doubt the zero-waste lifestyle26．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A．Joining the couple B．Recycling wasteC．Saving the environment D．Opening up a second-hand store What makes us who we are? This question has two typical answers. One is the environment around us when we grow up, and the other is our genes (基因). In English, this is called the “nature versus nurture (环境因素) debate”. Nature means genes, whereas nurture means environment, including the people around you.There is a famous saying: “Give me a child until the age of 7 and I’ll show you the man.” The meaning is that the environment in the early part of our life has the biggest effect on our adult life. Now, there is scientific research to support this famous saying.Scientists at the universities of Exeter, UK and Hamburg, Germany did studies on birds. They found that their personalities (性格) were affected most by the birds around them when they grew up—more so than genes. They watched small birds in new environments, and wrote down how much they explored. Birds that grew up with very curious birds were more curious themselves.Nick Royle from the University of Exeter in the UK said the research was surprising because it shows that “for these birds, personality is mainly decided by environment”. However, human personalities are a lot more complicated, so there is much we still don’t know. The nature versus nurture debate will continue for a long time, if not forever.27．What does the saying in the second paragraph tell people?A．Seven-year-old children don’t know much.B．The nurturing period plays a big part in one’s life.C．How to raise a child in a good way.D．Nature makes us who we are.28．According to the studies on birds, we know that ________.A．curious birds were smarter than incurious onesB．genes were as important as environments to birdsC．birds’ personalities were affected most by their peersD．birds’ personalities were affected most by genes29．What does the underlined word “complicated” in the last paragraph mean?A．复杂的 B．类似的 C．重要的 D．有趣的30．What does the story mainly talk about?A．How the environment, not genes might shape one’s life. B．The personalities of humans.C．The personalities of birds. D．Scientific research done on birds.  三、根据汉语提示填空31．It is ________（难以置信的）that you can run so fast. 四、根据首字母填空32．The students studying abroad had to make a c________ whether to return or to stay. 五、根据汉语提示填空33．Speaking ________（诚实）, the house is out of style.

The bike was ____41____ birthday present from my uncle. You can imagine how excited I was when I saw the bike and I begged my uncle to teach me how ____42____ (ride) it right away. However, before I got on the bike, I felt ____43____ (extreme) nervous and I was afraid that I would fall off and hurt ____44____ (me).

Could I use the brakes(刹车) to stop? As I was wondering about this, my uncle ran after me and got hold of the bike. I ____49____ (slow) down and came to a stop. My heart was still beating fast when I got off the bike. Later that day, having learnt how to get on the bike and get off it, I felt like I was walking on air!

That means there may be living things on the planet, which made many people start to imagine the talk between aliens and humans. A reporter from Washington Post wrote a letter to people of Earth on behalf of(代表) the citizens on Venus.Attention, People of Earth , Fine. The big secret is out. Many of your finest scientists have discovered there is life tens of millions of miles away-here, on the beautiful planet of Venus. Congratulations! However, we have a polite request: Please stay away.We’re serious. No spacecrafts to Venus, no tasks, no visits. If we wake up one morning and see so many of you people wandering around in spacesuits, we’re going to be really upset.We don’t want to be impolite. It’s just that we’re shocked by what you’ve got going on down there.Earth looks like a mess. You’ve got health problems, environmental pollution, traffic jams, political fights, etc. No wonder so many of you want to leave Earth for another planet.We know you’d like it here. That’s what frightens us. you’d all move to Venus at once. If we start having you all up here, pretty soon, the Martians(火星人)and Jupiterians(木星人) are going to come, too. But we can’t handle so much.Venus is not Earth 2. We suggest that you solve your problem because the earth is your only home.God bless you!Sincerely,Venusians(金星人) 51．What did scientists find on Venus? ______________________________________52．What do the Venusians ask Earth people to do? ______________________________________53．How will the Venusians feel when seeing many Earth people on Venus?______________________________________54．Why do Earth people want to leave for another planet?______________________________________55．Who actually wrote the letter? ______________________________________  十三、材料作文56．假设你是李华，2022年第25届山东省运动会将在八月底九月初在日照举行。你希望成为志愿者，尽一份力量。现在根据以下内容向组委会写一份申请书。（90字左右）1）年龄，性别，身份；2）性格开朗，擅长交际和与人沟通；3）爱好体育运动，了解家乡文化历史；4）待人热忱，乐于助人，具有合作精神；5）希望担当的志愿者工作（接待，服务运动员, 打扫卫生等）。Dear Sir or Madam, My name is Li Hua.
