T m sitting in the classroom to write you this letter because I really have something to say about the school lunchtime.I understand that school is meant for learning. It is important to have good reading skills and to be able to solve math problems. But I think school is also important for another reason. It helps people learn to get along with others.It may seem like lunchtime is not important. After all, I spend most lunchtime just talking with my friends. But this activity is more important than it looks.I am learning how to get along with others. I am learning how to solve problems. I am finding out about new things from people, and realising my mistakes. I am learning how to stand up for myself. I am learning how to say sorry. These are all important skills to learn. My problem is that the time for lunch and our other breaks keep getting shorter. I know this is happening so we can spend more time in class learning. But please do not forget that we are also learning at lunchtime. We are learning people skills. It is important that we have enough time to spend with our friends.I hope that you will consider making our lunchtime longer. A little more time spent with friends each day would benefit （有益于）everybody.Best wishes!Yours,Simone Anderson1. Where did Anderson write this letter?A. At his home.B. In the library. C.

When her three younger sisters were still asleep, 13- year-old Natalia rose and set off into the darkness.Natalia moved quickly. Her difficult journey would take hours. She had been making this trip two times a day, seven days a week, since she was 10 years old.Why?She was not heading to school or to a job. She was going to get the water her family needed to survive.Natalia is a serious girl who loves learning. But getting water for her family left little time for her education. She was lucky to make it to school one or two days a week. But Natalia dreamed of doing far more, like one day running her own school.Natalia had plenty of time to think about this dream on her trips to get water. First she walked to the watering holes the villagers had dug into the ground. Then she waited in line for hours.The water that Natalia brought home was gray and dirty. Natalia's family boiled it before drinking it. But the water still often made them sick.There was no other choice, though. The muddy watering holes were the only source of water for many miles around. What Natalia's village really needed was a well. But digging a well requires expensive machines and many experts （专家）.Natalia's village could not afford these things.In 2021, an organization called charity: water heard about Natalia9 s village. The organization has paid fbr 24, 500 water projects around the world-277 of those in Mozambique.In August 2021, large trucks came to Natalia9 s village. The workers found the best place fbr a well and started drilling （钻）.Natalia and her neighbours came to watch. The workers covered the hole and put a hand pump （抽水 机）on top.It was a simple pump. But it meant everything.Life is quite different for Natalia these days. She goes to school. She is a top student who plans to run her own school. She wants to change the lives of other girls through education.4. Which of the following can best describe 13-year-old Natalia's life?A.Hard.B. Simple.C. Lonely.D. Boring.5.

A well was dug.B. Many people were sick.C. Charity: water projects were started.D. Girls were allowed to go to school.7. What does Natalia want to do in the future?A.Be a doctor.B. Open a school.C. Make water pumps. D. Travelling out of her village.CI put my beef in the fridge before the "Use ByH date. If my milk's nBest If Used By" date一 the last date by which food quality （质量）is the best 一 was yesterday,rd never have it. The bread that expired （过期last week? Throw it away. But after studying the different types of Hexpirationn labels （标签）.1 learned that food lasts longer than I thought.In fact, food expiration dates talk about food quality, not food safety. They are added as a helpful guide to sellers and buyers. Here are the three most common labels.“Best If Used By"This date suggests when a product will be at the highest quality. It will still be safe to eat after that date, but the quality will start to go down.“Use ByH-This date is usually found on items that go bad more easily, like meat. It's still OK to eat the product for a short period after the date, but don't wait too long."Sell By”This date tells sellers when the product should be off the shelves. Sales are one way that stores try to get older products into people's bags, and it usually works quite well.“Use by" dates are a great guide for people like you and me, but it comes at a price. A report says that Americans waste about 30% of food every year. Part of that is because we follow expiration dates too closely and end up throwing out perfectly good food. Ifs such a shame. Luckily, we can change. Decide fbr yourself whether or not food should be thrown away. Does the color look right? Is the smell bad? Knowing what food is supposed to look, smell and feel like is a life skill that we all should have. It will help you avoid eating food that's gone bad and stop you from throwing away food too early.8. What does the first paragraph show?A.Expiration labels are useless.B.Beef, milk and bread go bad easily.C.The author takes expiration dates seriously.D.The author is concerned about food safety.9. What do we know about the three most common labels?A.Most food is labeled HBest If Used By".B.They show when the food is unsafe to eat.C.Food after “Sell By“ dates goes bad easily.0.Sellers use “Sell By" dates to increase sales.10. What does the author advise us to do?A.Ignore expiration dates.B.Never throw away food.C.Learn more life skills if possible.D.Pay more attention to the food itself.11. What's the best title for the text?A.How Are Expiration Dates Labeled?B.Expiration Dates Don't Matter MuchC.The Most Common Expiration LabelsD.What Can We Do About Expiration Dates?DPeople read books less often these days. With the invention of radios, televisions, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and are cheaper than taking a course. Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were.Everything in today*s society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone could not understand them and became very sick or even died.Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them.Some people say that reading is a waste of time and that we can do better things with our time. Even if we don't read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen （力口强） our abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time.With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives, no matter how old you are. So I think people should read books.12. What can we learn from the second paragraph?A.Reading can improve your memory.B.Reading can make you interesting and attractive.C.Reading can make you smarter.D.Reading can reduce stress.13. What does the underlined word "them" in the third paragraph refer to?A.The books they are reading.B.The directions on a medicine bottle.C.The good reading skills.D.The words a doctor tells a sick person.14. Why do some people disagree to read books?A.Walking in the city also needs reading skills.B.Driving along the road is dangerous.C.Reading books is very helpful to strengthen our abilities.D.Reading books just wastes their time.15. Whafs the best title of the passage?A.People Should Enjoy ThemselvesB.How We Improve Reading SkillsC.Why People Should Read BooksD.What We Love Doing in the Spare Time第二节（共5小题；每题2.5分，总分值12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最正确选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。We all have our favorite teachersthose who seem truly interested in us and teach us many things. But what about teachers we don't like much? 16.Show an interest in the subject. Obviously, your teachers are really interested in their subjects or they wouldn*t have decided to teach them!17Even if you're not a student who is good at math or fluent in French, showing an interest in their subjects sends a message that you are a hard- working student.18Use this time to get extra help, ask questions, ask about a career in the subject, or talk about your progress in class. You may be surprised to learn that your teacher is a bit more relaxed than when lecturing in front of the whole class.It is possible to try too hard, though. Here are some things to avoid when trying to build a relationship with your teacher.19Teachers can sense it when your only motivation （动机）is to get special treatment.Giving expensive gifts.20But expensive things may send a wrong message, and a teacher is usually not allowed to accept anything expensive.A.Avoid insincerity.B.Show the teacher that you care.C.It's OK to offer small gifts to teachers.D.If you find a subject hard, talk to your parents.E.Teachers are another group of adults in your life.F.You can do lots of things to get along well with them.G.You can plan a private meeting during a teacher's free time.第一节共IS小题；每题1分，总分值15分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A, B, C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最正确选 项。I used to be the shyest person in the world.
