The fog(需） was thick. As we walked deep into the forest,it was difficult to know where we were going and when we would get out. Our hearts were full of fear,but we had to keep going. The forest seemed to be endless. We were lost in the middle of a dark black forest with nothing to drink or eat.

I felt hard to breathe. My knees went weak and it seemed that I was falling down. As a result,I fainted(昏厥).

I finally woke up when Emily hit me in the face. Both Emily and Mike gave me a woried look. They helped me sit up against a tree. The three of us kept silent. Suddenly we heard the wolves(狼) growl far away. It was hard to tell who was more scared. The looks on my friends faces made me feel very scared. Which was the right way out?

We sat there for two more minutes and then moved on. Suddenly,a wolf appeared in front of us. It gave us a quick look and ran away. We felt so scared that we had to move on without a rest. To our excitement,there was an old house in the opposite direction. When we reached the house, smoke was rising from the chimney(烟肉). There must be someone in the house. We knocked,but no one answered. We knocked again,and then we heard someone walking towards the door. A kind young woman opened the door and let us in. How lucky we were!

C(2023·广东改编）

Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction.

A certain kind of ants,for example,can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as ll0 meters and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert,so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It's like someone walking six kilometers through a dark forest.

Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area.

Some animals can sense the earth's magnetic field(磁场), while humans can't. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet.

However,animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example,many birds depend on stars for direction,but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly,one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。

(C)56. 新考向 文章来源 Where is this text most probably from?

A. A storybook. B. An art magazine. C. A science magazine.

(B)57. How can a certain kind of ants find their way?

A. By imagining the way. B. By counting their steps. C. By bringing food together

A)58. What does the underlined word “mystery" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Secret. B. Choice. C. Reason.

(A)59. What are people advised to do according to the last paragraph?

A. To help animals. B. To travel at night. C. To keep city lights on.

I had my first hiking experience on Jade Dragon Snow Mountain with my friend when I went to Yunnan.

This was the first time I had traveled so far without my parents. I was very excited and discussed the plan with my friend almost every week. Unluckily,not everything went according to plan. When we arrived in Lijiang on the first day,the weather was not good. It was cloudy and we could hardly see the mountain. So we found a guide and visited the mountain the next day.

The next morning, we arrived at the starting point and waited for our guide. He drove us to the mountain. On the way, we passed a lake. It was hard to believe that the temperature could change so fast. When I was in the car, I just wore a dress. However, when we walked to the lakeside,I felt cold. Anyway,the lake was beautiful.

At the foot of the mountain,we could only see mountains,soil and the sky. When we arrived at an altitude(海拔) of about 3,800 meters,I started to feel a bit sick. This made it hard to enjoy the view. The guide told me to watch my step instead of thinking about how many steps I had to take. That really helped.

During the ten-day holiday in Yunnan, we climbed the mountain,visited lots of ancient towns and traveled to Xishuangbanna. We had great fun.

As part of my history project on transport(交通工具),I did some short interviews with people in my neighborhood. My first interview was with my friend Susan's grandmother, Mrs. Sanderson.

Question 1:How did you get to school whenyouwere young?

I walked to school with my friends,except for Fridays when we had to carry all of our things for school sports. Then we caught the bus. I enjoyed walking because we could chat on the way. I didn't like it when it was raining. And Mom always made sure I wore my raincoat and gumboots(及膝胶靴). At last,I became a strong walker,and I believe that's why I've been healthy all my life.

Question 2 :My parents drive me to school. Why didn't you go to school by car

You know,we were not rich enough at that time. We could not afford a car until after I had finished school.

Question 3:How did you get around when you weren't going to school?

We often went for a family trip by train. Most weekends we went on picnics and I loved playing with my cousins in the park. The trip took much longer than it would take by car today of course.

Question4:Howdoyougetaroundnow?

I still love walking,but I need to drive my grandchildren around,so I mainly use my car. It is fast.

During the winter vacation,my family spent 3 days in Jingdezhen,Jiangxi. It is famous for its porcelain(瓷）culture.

We visited a museum that showed us how porcelain is made. On our way there, we noticed something special:All the streetlights were covered in porcelain. Even the rubbish bins were made of porcelain. We were surprised by their creativity.

At the museum, we learned about how to make porcelain. First,the porcelain clay needs to be shaped into something like pots. Then,the craftsmen(手艺人） use a special paint called ceramic glaze(柚） to draw on it. It takes them many hours to finish that because the drawings require patience. After that,the craftsmen put the pieces into a kiln(窑） and burn them at a very high temperature for 12 to 24 hours. Finally,the porcelain can be taken out after it cools down.

As the saying goes,"Success only comes through hard work." Making porcelain is difficult work,but the craftsmen's hard work has resulted in beautiful works.

On the last day of our trip, we went to Taoxichuan Ceramic Art Avenue. Many porcelain lovers were there making their own porcelain works. Tourists walked through the market and picked out pieces they liked. As we walked through the area,we not only chose souvenirs but also enjoyed this historic art.

I can now understand why Jingdezhen City is called “Porcelain Capital". It is because of the local people's deep love for porcelain. Their love makes them care about porcelain and share this wonderful traditional culture with the world. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。

Nobody knows who invented hats or when they did it. It was probably one of the first people a long time ago who wore animal skin(毛皮） on their heads to protect themselves. People who study history say that hats have been around for a long time. They have found pictures of hats in ancient artwork from places like China, Greece,Rome and Egypt.

At first,hats were probably used for special purposes,like keeping people safe from nature and weather. But soon,hats became a way to show off style and importance. In ancient Rome and Greece,the low levels of society were not allowed to wear hats. In ancient China,there was a "capping ceremony” symbolizing(象征) that a boy became a man. Also,hats were used to show social ranks(地位）in ancient China.

Over the ages,hats have been made from just about every material you could think of. One of the first popular materials for hats was probably straw(稻草). An ancient painting found on a wall in ancient Egypt shows a man wearing a straw hat.

Nowadays,there are so many different kinds of hats, and people wear hats for different reasons,like staying safe or looking cool. You can find all hats,from winter hats to baseball caps and even helmets for protection. Some hats are connected to certain jobs or activities. Now,look up and tell me: What kind of hat do you feel like wearing today? 根据语篇内容.选择最佳选项.

In my opinion,the wheel is the most important thing that human beings have ever invented. It might seem weird to say that something so simple-looking and so ordinary(普通的） could be so important. But if you consider the following points, you will probably agree with me.

Firstly,wheels influence almost every part of our lives. Wheels are used, for example, in clocks,engines(发动机） and transport(交通工具). If you visit just one factory,you will see how important wheels are. You will see wheels on almost every machine.

Secondly, wheels play a great part in food production. Wheels are used to grind(磨碎) different kinds of corn into flour(粉状物). They are then used to mix flour and other foods into bread. We would all have to make our own bread,starting with grinding the wheat(小麦),if we did not have the wheel. In fact, we would have to grow the wheat because there would be no way to transport it.

Thirdly,our world would be completely different if we did not have the wheel for transport. Before the wheel was invented, people used to have to travel on foot or by riding on an animal. That is what we would be doing now if we did not have the wheel.

We would be back to the Stone Age if some of our clever ancestors(祖先） had not invented the wheel. Our modern world would simply be impossible. The wheel is surely the most important invention of all time.

(A)60. 新考向篇章结构 Which of the following can best show the structure of the text? (P1=Paragraph 1... )

You may think that inventions are far away from your everyday lives. But in fact, almost everyone can invent something. It's just that they do not tell that their ideas could be the start of an invention. When inventors see their ideas have some practical value,they don't let them slip away(溜走).

For example,the inventor of the dishwasher(洗碗机),American Josephine Cochrane,loved to give dinner parties but found it took long to wash her dishes by hand and too many of them broke. She thought that a machine could do the job faster and with fewer mistakes. So,in 1886, she started to make one for herself.

Here are the steps to create inventions. The first and most important step is to find the problem. Then you might notice situations or things in need of improvement. The next step is to work it out. An invention is a new way of solving a problem. So think of unusual ways. You can often come up with a problem to a solution(解决办法） by looking at it from a different side.

And the hardest part of inventing is finding a solution. When you have an idea, you can always get help to build your invention. This problem-solving skill is very useful. It can also work in your everyday lives. So, why not try it in your study,in your relationship with others,or even in the way you look at the world?

根据语篇内容，按要求回答问题。

61. Why did Josephine Cochrane decide to invent the dishwasher? Because she loved to give dinner parties but found it took long to wash her dishes by hand and too many of them broke.
62. When did Josephine Cochrane start to make the dishwasher for herself? In 1886.

Good morning,everyone!

Without invention, we can't have a happy life. So since I was young, I've dreamed of inventing something that can help to improve the environment.Several days ago,Icame up with a good idea for my invention. It's a special box which is used for holding wastes. It can move and speak different languages.Assoon as people throw away wastes on the street ,they will be cleaned upby the box at once.Atthe same time ,the box will tell people not to do that again.Of course ,my box won't cost too much. In this way, more money can be saved. What do you think of my invention? Will it be helpful in improving the environment?

Thank you for listening!

When I was a little girl,I was taught rules and etiquette(礼节). I never forgot the first class. All of us entered a bright classroom with many desks and chairs. We sat in the beautiful classroom,looking at the teacher quietly. She greeted us with a smile. Then she told us some rules and taught us etiquette. I couldn't understand the meanings of those rules and the reason why I should follow them.

When I was much older,I learned more etiquette and rules. I realized the etiquette and rules I learned had something to do with my life. They told me how to treat people politely and how to do things correctly. Due to the influence of my childhood experiences,I chose to study etiquette in college,and I often read books including San Zi Jing and The Analects (《论语》). These books help me deal with the things that bring me sadness wisely. They mean differently to me at different times.

The rules and etiquette we have learned are a symbol of traditional Chinese culture. No matter how the world changes,it is a great treasure in our heart. And it willalso bring us inner(内 心的) peace and teach us how to be a better person. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。

Fifteen-year-old Cathy posted a birthday party invitation and her address online. When her parents got back home that evening,they couldn't believe their eyes! There were 500 people at the party,and some of them were breaking windows and plants! A study shows that last year alone,more than three million young people worldwide got into trouble because of their online activities. ～?

Share with care. Not everyone will like what you write online. Think before you post something. You can never completely control who sees your texts or pictures. Before posting,you should ask yourself two questions,"How willI feel if my family or teachers see this?" and “How might this post be bad for me in three,five or ten years from now?"

Be polite when you write. Imagine someone is unfriendly in real life. You don't like it, right? Well,the same is true of online communication. No one likes it when you “shout" in your messages. Don't use all capitals. If you feel angry while writing a message, wait a bit. Read it again later and then send it.

Protect and respect. Don't share your personal information with anyone. Don't post your home Or e-mail address online. Be careful about “cyberbullying". Don't spread rumors or say anything bad about other people. If you get messages like that or see them online,talk to an adult you know. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。

Family values must be an important part when talking about the main differences between Chinese and Western cultures. The differences can be shown from the following sides.

The first point is the importance of family. For Chinese people,family is always put in the first place. As Chinese culture pays attention to collctivism(集体主义）,family has been a key part in Chinese society since ancient times.

There are many cultures in Western countries and each country has its own family values. However,family values of most Western people are individual-oriented(重视个人主义的). Even though family is important to them,they pay more attention to their personal development.

The second point is to respect(尊敬） the elderly. The elders are respected for their wisdom and rich experience. In China, when parents get old,the children need to support their parents. Also,the elders play an important role in taking care of their grandchildren.

Unlike traditional Chinese families, the culture of four generations under one roof won't happen in Western countries. In Western countries, children will leave their parents home when they grow up. They enjoy living more freely and independently instead of depending on their parents.

In a word,there's nothing right or wrong between Chinese and Western family values. After all,each country has its special culture. What we need to do is to get to know some cultural differences so that we could understand and show respect to each other. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。

B(2024·安徽改编）

If you get angry many times in a day,it is time for you to think about how to deal with it. Here are some of my suggestions.

When you are angry,try to tell yourself through another voice that you are angry and that it is not a bad thing. It just shows that you have different ideas. Accept that many things are not 100% right or wrong. In our communication with others,the final purpose is not to decide who is right and who is wrong,but to look for something in common.

If you still feel strong anger,try taking a deep breath and let anger out of your body along with the breath. Don't say angry words when you are very angry,for you will regret saying them when you cool down.

Discussing with a third party is helpful. It is hard for the two parties in anger to understand each other,but the idea of an outsider can help both parties to get mutual(相互的） understanding.

Anger is just one of the many emotions(情绪） that make us human,and to well manage it adds to our ability to truly understand the world. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。

People know animals do have feelings,but they are not sure if these feelings are correctly understood. In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows,frogs and pandas. ? It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls.

The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes,there was something chickens love to eat,such as rice or insects. Sometimes,there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door,they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds,known as food calls. When there wasn't food,the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves.

Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. About sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not,and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens.

The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully,this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising,a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens' feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make chickens happier and healthier. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。

Do you have any problems in your life and don't know how to be happy? If so,you will find Being a Happy Teenager written by an Australian writer Andrew Matthews helpful. In his book, Matthews tells us how to have a happy life and answers the questions of teenagers. There are many subjects,such as parents and friends,and the book says we should stop being angry and forgive(宽如） others. The book tells us some useful ways,such as how to understand better what you have learned.

Many teenagers think happiness comes from a good exam result or praise from other people. But you can still be happy when there are no such “good" things. Success comes from a good attitude(态度). If you learn from problems, you will have success in the future. Some school students have problems, such as being too tall or too short. But Matthews tells us that happiness comes from thinking in a positive(积极的） way. If you are tall,you can get a better view(视线) when you see a film. If you are short, your clothes and shoes take up less room in your bedroom! This is Matthews' most important lesson,"Choose to be happy!"

Walk or drive to work? Which way is lower in carbon (碳)? To be friendly to the environment,you may choose to walk. Have you ever tried to live a low-carbon life through your diet(日常饮食）？

A new study from the University of Oxford has looked into the health and environmental influences of 15 foods common in western diets. Among these,plant-based(基于植物的)foods included fruits, vegetables, nuts and potatoes. It also studied animal-based foods, including red meat,chicken,milk products,eggs and fish.

According to the study's lead researcher, Michael Clark,"Choosing better and greener diets is one of the main ways people can improve their health and protect the environment." That is to say,plant-based diets are much healthier for us and kinder to the environment.

To get this result,researchers compared the influence of eating another portion(—份） of each food with the increased risk of a few illnesses. They also find out the environmental harm for each animal-based food and each plant-based food.

By using this method,the study found that red meats were the most unfriendly foods to the environment. Keeping farm animals produces a large number of methane(甲烷） that keeps 30 times more heat than CO_{2} . As well as making the earth warmer,eating too much red meat is known to increase the risk of a few illnesses,such as heart trouble.

Plant-based diets can give us the same health benefits in a much greener way. According to the study, without eating or using meat and milk products,global farmland use could be cut down by more than 75% and still feed the world.

Speaking to the Guardian, Tim Benton of Chatham House said,“If we can give people reasonable official advice of what a healthy and green diet is,the world and its people would be in a much better place."

Do you believe that your pet fish are able to identify(辨认） your face from many other human faces? “Yes,it is right," said scientists from the UK and Australia. They made a study of the archerfish(喷水鱼）.

You can find archerfish all the way from India to Indonesia, the Philippines and Australia. They can shoot water at their prey(猎物),and they do it by changing the shapes of their mouths. The flying insects(昆虫） fall into the water, and it's just the right place. The archerfish are waiting there to eat them up.

The team began by showing four archerfish the pictures of two human faces. In the beginning,the fish shot water at both. However,they soon learned that if they shot the face that researchers asked them to,they could get some fod.After that they concentrated(集中注意力) mainly on that face. The scientists then made a further study by adding 44 other human faces to the mix.

To the scientists′ surprise,the archerfish in the study were able to recall the learned face almost 81% of the time. Now the scientists know how smart the fish are!

Identifying a human face is not an easy thing. As we all know,humans' faces have something in common—two eyes,one nose and one mouth. For animals,the differences are not clear. But a few animals have this special skill like archerfish,such as horses,cows,dogs,monkeys and bees. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。

A. By shooting water at their prey.
B. By changing the shapes of their bodies.

A.Because they could shoot water at both human faces.
B. Because they could shoot the face the researchers asked them to.

My father is quiet most of the time. There is one thing that gets him excited. Just say the word “garbage" to him! Or I should say, he is very interested in dealing with the garbage problem.

Last year,my father decided to do something about all the wasted food we were throwing away. Each family wastes a large amount of food yearly—-nearly 0. 25 tons. We usually throw away the unfinished rice,dishes,and more.

However,there is something we can do with it. If we properly deal with fod waste,it can be changed into a kind of rich, dark earth(±） known as compost. This compost can be added to vegetable gardens to make the plants grow really well.

To deal with food waste in my family, my father came up with a good idea: Instead of throwing away all our food waste,we put it into the compost bin(储物箱）. Mother Nature will slowly turn it from garbage into earth. Three months later, we were surprised to find that it was full of rich compost material!

Next time you eat outside,just order what you need. Similarly,just make what you need at home when cooking. This also helps to avoid wasting food. Do you have any other ideas? Think about it.
