（2022·江苏连云港）There was an old oak tree in the garden. Holly’s father wanted to cut it down and build a new office there. Holly felt sad and didn’t agree. She moved into the old tree house, which was her favourite place in the world. One day, it rained all night. Lightning lit up the sky and thunder rumbled. The tree house was moving. A branch (树枝) broke. Holly and her dog Eco fell down from the tree. Her parents ran towards her and took her into the room. Luckily, Holly was all right.
The next day a tree surgeon (外科医生) named Harry examined the oak tree. He did some tests, then he talked to Holly and her father.
“This is a lovely tree,” he said. “I can see why it’s so important to you, Holly. Unfortunately, it’s very old, and it has a disease. It really isn’t safe. I’m afraid it has to come down.”
Holly nodded. Her father put his arm around her.
“Can you cut it down?” he asked.
“Yes, of course,” said Harry.
“And after that… can you plant a new tree?”
“A new tree?” asked Holly, surprised. “Where?”
“In the same place, of course,” her father replied.
So Harry cut down the old oak tree and planted a new one in its place. Holly helped him fill the hole with earth, and Eco jumped in and out of it while they were working. Later the whole family stood around the new tree.
“It’s small, isn’t it?” said Holly’s sister Sophie.
“It’s small now,” said Holly, “but it’s going to grow. It’s going to grow as big as my old tree.”
Then she turned to her father.
“Dad, where are you going to build your new office?”
“Over there,” said her father, pointing.
“On the lawn?” asked Holly. Her parents were crazy about their stupid lawn!
“It’s OK,” her mother said. “The tree’s more important. In fact, I want you to have a party in the garden for your new tree. And I want you to invite all your friends.”
Holly and Sophie smiled. It was going to be a great summer after all.
4． What does the underlined word “examined” probably mean in paragraph 2?
A．Changed. B．Climbed. C．Checked. D．Collected.
5． What can we know about the old oak tree?
A．It was cut down by Holly. B．It had a disease and wasn’t safe.
C．It came down by itself suddenly. D．It would grow with a young tree.
6． How did Holly feel about the new tree later?
A．Strange. B．Angry. C．Worried. D．Hopeful.
7． From the passage, we can know that Holly’s father would ________.
A．give up building the new office B．share one office with his friends
C．build the new office on the lawn D．choose to work in the tree house
（2022·江苏连云港）Did you know that vocabulary (词汇) is more important than grammar? If you have good vocabulary, you can communicate successfully, even if the grammar is not completely perfect.
However, one common problem is learning new words and then forgetting them. So when you want to use a new word in a conversation, you can’t remember it at that moment. Does this often happen to you? The reason for this difficulty is that most students try to learn vocabulary by studying lists and dictionaries and remembering the words. But it may not work if you don’t have a very good memory.
The best way to learn vocabulary and remember the words successfully, is to learn new words and use them at once. You can do this with a very simple exercise. Every time you learn a new word, for example, from an English lesson or an article, write it down in your vocabulary notebook. Writing is more active than just reading a definition (释义). You should write the word, the definition in English or translation, one example sentence from the article or dictionary and one example sentence that you create.
Imagine you just learn the word “generous”, write in your vocabulary notebook: generous (adjective), definition—giving or willing to give freely. Example one, from the article: Thanks for paying for my dinner, you’re very generous. Example two, my example: My brother is generous because he volunteers at the animal shelter on weekends. It’s best if your example sentences are true to your life, because this creates a personal connection with the new word. The next day, read your vocabulary notebook again and try to add one more example sentence using the new word. It’s helpful for you to remember it. These two simple steps—writing the word and using it at once—help you remember and use new words.
Do you have a vocabulary notebook? If not, start now.
8． What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．The problem. B．The new word. C．The conversation. D．The dictionary.
9． What’s the correct order of the following steps of taking vocabulary notes?
①Make your own example sentence.
②Write the word, its English definition or translation.
③Copy an example sentence from the article or dictionary.
④Read your notebook again and add one more example sentence.
A．②③①④ B．②③④① C．③④②① D．③②①④
10． How can we make the best example sentences according to the writer?
A．By asking for help from friends. B．By explaining words’ definitions.
C．By connecting them with our life. D．By adding words from the article.
11． What’s the best title for the passage?
A．Tips for Translating Words B．Advice on Using Grammar
C．Abilities of Creating Examples D．Ways of Learning New Words

The Horsetail Fall (瀑布) is one of Yosemite National Park’s most amazing views. Around the second week of February, the setting sun hits the Horsetail Fall at just the right angle (角度) to light the upper parts of the waterfall. And when conditions are right, the Horsetail Fall becomes orange and red at sunset. It is like red-hot lava (熔岩) pouring down from the top of the El Capitan. So, it got the name “firefall”.
The firefall is a perfect match of the weather, the fall, the time and the watching place. It usually appears on dry, warm and cloudless days. There must be enough flowing water to make a firefall too. So there must be enough snow on the mountain top, and it turns into water on warm afternoons.
The sun goes to the best place before the fall in late February. And the best time to watch the fall is 5 to 15 minutes before the sunset. Only at this time can visitors see the firefall. The El Capitan Picnic Area is the best place to watch, because it is close to the fall and is perfect to set up cameras and tents.
Every year in February, thousands of photographers come to watch the firefall. Although the view may appear just minutes before sunset, many of them have to come hours earlier to get a right place to set their cameras in time. “I’m just saying that the Yosemite Firefall is something you don’t want to miss during the winter,” says Kate Moore, a traveller and the lead content creator for ParkedInParadise.com.
12． Paragraph 1 mainly tells us ________.
A．how the firefall got its name B．why it’s easy to see the firefall
C．who was the first to find the firefall D．on which day we can visit the frefall
13． What can we know about the firefall?
A．It lasts for half an hour before the sunset.
B．It usually appears on wet, warm and cloudy days.
C．Rivers provide enough flowing water to make a fall.
D．Its best watching place is the El Capitan Picnic Area.
14． From the words of Kate Moore, we can infer that ________.
A．the firefall is worth seeing B．it’s dangerous to watch the firefall
C．the firefall brings little surprise D．it’s a waste of time to visit the firefall
15． What’s the theme of the passage?
A．Art. B．Nature. C．Technology. D．History.

（2021·江苏连云港）March 2 is Old Stuff Day（旧物日）. It is all about old stuff. Things you used have been forgotten for ages in your home. You must have some old stuff around. And today is all about enjoying it. Because what’s better than finding something really great from days gone by?
It’s so easy to forget things you have. If we don’t use them every day, some things can be put away and stay there. And that’s not just the things in your home— technology grows so quickly, new toys come out all the time, new books keep coming out. In the age of new information, we can have so many things easily. Today is all about remembering the things we sometimes leave behind.
We’ve learned to value what age can bring to things. Wines, for example, are more valuable and tastier as they grow older. It’s certain that old things still have their uses, value or charm. People today will pay a pretty penny for stamps, toys, video games, board games, books, coins, and clothes of yesterday.
You can really get into the charm of old things by visiting a junk shop （旧货店）. Another person’s old stuff could be your new stuff! Or maybe now is a good day to clean up? Old stuff could become a great gift for someone else, or you could always send your old things to a charity shop. If you’re free, you could turn your old clothes into new ones with just a little change.
Today could be a good day to visit your older families. You could ask your grandparents to tell you stories about family history, their childhood and their youth. Learn about what was going on in the world when they were growing up.
Most of all, remember that today’s new stuff will one day be old stuff.
19． What is Old Stuff Day?
A．A day to throw away old things. B．A day to follow new technology.
C．A day to get together with families. D．A day to enjoy and reuse old things.
20． From paragraph 3, we know that ________.
A．age brings people new things B．people love buying new things
C．people always clean up old stuff D．old stuff is still valuable and useful
21． Which of the following is a proper way to deal with old stuff?
A．Breaking them into pieces. B．Sending them to charity shops.
C．Forgetting them in some places. D．Turning them into waste things.
22． The author’s purpose in writing the text is to make people ________.
A．realize value of old stuff B．explore new technology
C．produce more old things D．remember family history
（2021·江苏连云港）When she was alone, Mary felt lonelier than ever. She went out of the house and ran around the garden ten times. Ben Weatherstaff was working in it.
“Spring is coming,” he said to Mary. “I can smell it in the air. Soon there will be spring flowers. At this moment, the robin flew toward them and landed at Mary’s feet.
“He remembers me,” she said.
“He knows everything that happens here,” Ben said. “Only he knows what’s happening in the garden that has no door into it. No one else has been inside it for ten years.”
Ben walked away to continue his work. Mary bent down and began talking to the robin. She felt happier than she had ever felt.
The robin trusted her and did not fly away. It began pecking at the ground, looking for a worm to eat. Mary looked closely at the ground. She saw something that looked like metal. She picked it up. It was dirty and rusty. She cleaned it and saw that it was a key.
“It’s been in the ground for many years,” she thought. “I wonder if it is the key to the garden. If it is, then I must find the door.”
Mary skipped around the garden. The robin followed her. Mary stopped skipping and spoke to the robin.
“He showed me where to find the key,” she thought. “Can you show me where the door is?”
The robin sat on the top of the garden wall. It began to sing. The wall was covered with ivy. Mary pulled at a piece of the ivy. It came away from the wall. Behind the wall was a door.

You might have seen beautiful rainbows in the sky before. They form when sunlight falls on water drops in the air. But in fact, moonlight can also create rainbows in the same way. They are called “moonbows”. They are similar to rainbows, but they are created by moonlight instead of direct sunlight.
Moonbows are rarer than rainbows. Different weather and astronomical （天文学的）conditions have to be just right for moonbows to be created.
The moon has to be very low in the sky-only 42 degrees from the horizon （地平线）. The moon period has to be a full moon or nearly full. The sky must be very dark for a moonbow to be watched clearly-any bright light can obscure it. Water drops must appear in the air in the opposite direction of the moon.
Moonbows appear on the opposite side of the moon and usually look white to the human eye. This is because their colors are not bright enough to be noticed by the human eye. It is possible, however, to view the colors in a moonbow using long exposure （长时间曝光）photography.
Moonbows more often appear in some locations around the world. Most of these locations usually have waterfalls, which create thin fog in the air. Some of these locations are the Yosemite National Park in California and Cumberland Falls State Resort Park in Kentucky, US; Victoria Falls on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe; and Waimea in Hawaii, US.
Moonbows do really happen. So at a certain time and a certain place, when a moonbow happens to appear, you can’t miss it if you’re right there.
27． According to the first two paragraphs, moonbows are ________.
A．created by sunlight B．much easier to find
C．seen during the day D．more difficult to form
28． Which of the following can be the conditions for a moonbow to form?
A．A half moon hangs high in the bright sky.
B．A full moon is 50 degrees from the horizon.
C．A nearly full moon hangs low in the dark sky.
D．Water drops are in the opposite direction of the sun.
29． What does the underlined word “obscure” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．cover B．drop C．connect D．produce
30． What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A．Conditions of moonbows. B．Background of moonbows.
C．Locations of moonbows. D．Development of moonbows.

Pocket money
Most teenagers in Britain receive pocket money from their parents. They might have to do some housework to get pocket money, including cleaning, cooking, washing dishes and so on.
Part-time work
A part-time job is a choice for teenagers who don’t have pocket money or who want to get extra money. About 15% teenagers have a job. Only children over the age of 13 can work. Popular part-time jobs for teens include babysitting, delivering（递送）newspapers, restaurant work and shop work. Children in Britain can work two hours a day at the most on a school day but not during school hours. During weekends and school holidays, they can work longer hours.
Bank accounts（账户）
Some children and teenagers have a bank account. There is no age limit at which you can open a bank account, but a bank manager can decide whether to open an account for a child or a young person. Parents can put pocket money directly into their child’s bank account. Most banks have a prepaid bank card designed for young people.
Mobile apps
Many companies have made mobile apps for children, including GoHenry, Osper and Gimi. Parents can add money to their children’s accounts and check to see how the money is spent. Children can choose to save their money or spend it using a card. The apps suggest that kids from 8 to 13 can use the cards.
So, many teenagers are getting experience working part-time, dealing with banks and deciding whether to save or spend their money. These are all steps towards becoming a financially independent （经济独立的） person and making and looking after your own money.

（2020·江苏连云港）We always think that it’s OK for us to leave our plants home during our vacation as plants won’t scream like pets, right?
A recent study done by a group of scientists at the Tel Aviv University has discovered that some plants will scream when they are under stress.
The research was carried out on tomato plants and tobacco plants by cutting their stems（茎） and depriving（剥夺） them of water. A microphone was placed 10cm away from them. When their stems were cut, the plants started “screaming” between 20 and 100 kilohertz, and the scientists guess that this scream is probably meant to warn other plants nearby.
When the tomato plants’ stems were cut, 25 ultrasonic（超声的） pain sounds were recorded in an hour, and at the same time, 15 ultrasonic pain sounds were recorded from the tobacco plants. When they were deprived of water, the tomato plants recorded even more pain sounds with 35 pain sounds in an hour while the tobacco plants recorded about 11 pain sounds.
The plants also acted differently to different kinds of stresses. For example, the tobacco plants gave out a stronger “scream” when they were deprived of water than when their stems were cut. But plants that were in no immediate（立刻的）danger gave out less than one ultrasonic sound per hour.
The group of scientists said that plants are not as quiet as we had always thought, but in fact their voices are so high-pitched that we just can’t hear them.
Last year, another study has found out that plants feel pain when they are touched or hurt and they will give off a terrible smell.

38． What have the group of scientists at the Tel Aviv University discovered?
A．Some plants under stress will scream.
B．Plants in danger scream to warn others.
C．Some plants under stress feel energetic.
D．Plants in danger give off a sweet smell.
39． What was the microphone underlined in paragraph 3 used for?
A．Cutting the stems of plants. B．Depriving plants of water.
C．Collecting ultrasonic sounds. D．Testing different stresses.
40． How many ultrasonic pain sounds did the tobacco plants give out in an hour when deprived of water？
A．11. B．15. C．25. D．35.
41． What can we learn from the passage?
A．Tomato plants acted the same under different stresses.
B．Tobacco plants gave off a smell when they were safe.
C．Plants not in immediate danger screamed most weakly.
D．Plants that felt pain screamed loudly for people to hear.
（2020·江苏连云港）A horse fair is an interesting place. There were young horses from the country, little Welsh ponies and many beautiful horses too. But there were also a lot of poor, thin horses, tired from hard work. I was very sad to see them.
At the horse fair there was a man with a gentle voice and kind grey eyes. He offered 23 pounds for me, but they refused. Then a man with a very loud voice came. I was afraid he was going to buy me, but he walked off. Then the grey-eyed man came back again and said:
“I’ll give 24 for him.”
“Done,” said the salesman. “He’s a quality horse and if you want him for cab（出租马车）work, he’s a bargain.”
Half an hour later we set off for London, along country roads, until we came to that great city. There were streets to the right, and streets to the left. We went into one of the small streets, and then into a very narrow street, with small, old houses.
My owner stopped at a house. The door opened, and a woman, a little girl and boy, came out.
“Is he gentle, father?”
“Yes, Dolly, as gentle as a kitten; you can pat him.”
Dolly, the little girl, patted my shoulder without fear. It felt so good! They led me into a comfortable, clean stable, and after a delicious meal I lay down to sleep, thinking “I’m going to very happy here”.
My new owner’s name was Jerry. His wife was called Polly and they had two children, Harry and Dolly. The next morning they came to see me. I loved it when they patted me and spoke in gentle voices.
“Let’s call him ‘Jack’, after the old horse, shall we, Harry?” said Dolly.
“Yes, let’s,” said Harry.
The first week of my life as Jack, the London cab horse was very hard. The noise and the people and the traffic on the streets scared me. But Jerry was a very good driver, and that helped a lot Jerry soon found that I was ready to work hard and do my best, and he didn’t whip（鞭打）me.
He kept us very clean, and gave us as much food as we wanted. But the best thing was that we had Sundays off.

42． A horse fair is a place for__________.

Volunteering allows volunteers to meet new people, try out new skills and explore career choices. ____57____
