Coronado was born in 1953. Scientists saw the birth of this island. It began at 6: 30 a.m. on 14th November. A fishing boat was near Iceland. The boat moved under the captain’s（船长）feet. He noticed a strange smell. He saw some black smoke. A volcano（火山）was breaking out.
Red-hot rocks, fire and smoke were rushing up from the bottom（底部）of the sea. The island grew quickly. It was 10 meters high the next day and 60 meters high on 18th November. Scientists flew there to watch. It was exciting. Smoke and fire were still rushing up. Pieces of red-hot rock were flying into the air and falling into the sea. The sea was boiling and there was a strange light in the

sky. Coronado grew and grew. Then it stopped in June 1957. It was 175 meters high and 2 kilometers long. And life was already coming to Coronado. Plants grew. Birds came. Some scientists built a house. They want to learn about this young island. A new island is like a new world.

Dolphins(海豚) are one of the cleverest animals in the world. We may hear of many stories about how dolphins save people out of water.
Dolphins often eat fish and some other sea animals. A dolphin with a weight of 200kg to 250kg will eat 10kg to 25kg of fish every day. They like to swim with other dolphins and usually hunt(捕猎) in groups.
Dolphins have very good hearing. They use it to find things under the water. Many scientists
also believe dolphins can even talk to each other through a special whistle(哨声). People from different areas don’t speak the same language. Just like people, dolphins’ whistles have many kinds. One day we may understand dolphins’ whistles, and then they will be able to tell us about themselves.
Dolphins live in the sea, but they are not a kind of fish and they don’t lay eggs. They have babies in the same way as cows and cats do, and give their babies milk. A female dolphin has a baby every two to three years.
Dolphins are very friendly. Sadly, there are not many kinds of dolphins left. People killed them for many years for food and other things. Now it’s time to stop this and perhaps there will be more of them in the years to come.
48. If a dolphin weighs 240kg, how much of fish may it eat every day?
A. 5kg. B．16kg. C．30kg. D．35kg.
49. In paragraph 4, the writer explain the topic by .

D. Dolphins eat fish and some other sea animals.

51. From this passage, we can infer that .

D
Once a circle lost a piece of its own. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete(不完整的), it could only roll very slowly. It admired the flowers, chatted with snails(蜗牛) and enjoyed the sunshine along the way. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on looking for the missing piece.
Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. The circle put the missing piece into itself. It could be whole with nothing missing. It was so happy and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to see flowers or talk to snails. It realized how different the world was when it rolled so quickly. It felt so sad that ▲ .
Sometimes we are more perfect when we lose something. A man who has everything is a
poor man in some ways. He will never have hope, dreams or something better. He will never know someone is loving him or someone is giving him something.
Life is not a spelling game. No matter how many words you got right, you fail if you make one mistake. Life is more like a basketball season. Even the best team loses and even the worst team has its good days. Our goal is to win more games than we lose. When we accept that imperfection is part of being humans, and when we can continue rolling t hrough life and enjoy it, we will have reached a wholeness.
52. Why did the circle roll very slowly at first?
A. Because it wanted to enjoy the sunshine. B. Because it was enjoying the flowers.
C. Because it lost a piece of its own. D. Because it spent much time talking to snails.
53. Which of the following sentences can be put in the ▲ .
A. it dropped that piece and rolled away slowly B. it continued to roll more and more quickly
C. it decided to find a better piece to fit D. it sang and laughed all the way home
54. What’s the writer’s purpose of giving examples in Paragraph 4?
A. To show his opinion. B. To lead to a discussion.
C. To begin a story. D. To give an introduction.
55. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Nobody loves us if we give nothing to others.
B. A man who has everything is the happiest one.
C. We should always try our best to be perfect.
D. Losing something may not be a bad thing sometimes.
E
What do you think of the difficulties in life? Can you picture how strong people will be if they have dreams?
Felicia Grimmenhag from Sweden doesn’t let anything get in her way, even a life-changing accident. After a serious car accident, Felicia had to depend on a wheelchair to get around. However, she didn’t quit trying to achieve her dream. She wanted to get back on the horse. It was her dream to be a top horse rider. She wasn’t sure if she would be able to. But after ten weeks’ training, she could ride once again. ―The horses have meant a lot to me,‖ Felicia said. She took part in competitions around the world. Last year, she won silver at the Tokyo Paralympics ( 残 奥

会).
This year, at 2022 Beijing Winter Paralympics, another girl—Zhang Mengqiu, a Chinese
skier, also made her dream come true. She won China’s first Alpine skiing gold on March 6, 2022. Zhang has cerebral palsy ( 脑 瘫 ) and was introduced to Alpine skiing in 2016 and joined the national team a year later. Because of her physical disadvantage, Zhang is a little slower than others and needs to put in more hours in practice to learn the sport’s skills. But she never says giving up during practice-and competitions. Also, she has that type of personality that believes success will finally come one day.
From their stories, we can learn that nobody in the world can stop you from following your dream. You are the only person that sets your own limits (限制).

A． B． C. D.
59. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Never Say Never B. Better Late Than Never

Last week, my father and I went back to my hometown – Zibo in Shandong – to try Zibo barbecue. Recently, the local food has become so popular that people all over China travel there to taste it.
On the way to Zibo, my father told me a story. Last year during the COVID-19, thousands of college students were stuck in Zibo. The local government helped students to get through that period and offered a great barbecue dinner before they went back to their school. The government officers also invited the students to come back to Zibo again when spring came. I was moved when I heard this.
At 5 pm, we arrived at the restaurant. My father had booked a table two days earlier. If not, there wouldn’t be any seats for us. There are some differences between Zibo’s barbecue and the ones in other cities. People need to cook on the grill (烤架) by themselves. Also, when the food is ready, you put it onto a small pancake with scallions (葱) and sauce before eating.
People in the restaurant didn’t know each other before. But we just talked naturally about
daily life and sang together. The boss of the restaurant even danced. Some local people even put off their orders when they heard there weren’t enough seats. They wanted tourists from other places to have the chance to eat.
After eating the delicious food, I kept thinking about why Zibo became popular. Is it the promise between the government and the college students, or the special, tasty food, or the warm-hearted people?
