Jiang Shumei wasn’t educated as a child, learning her first Chinese character at the age of 60．Now, the 87-year-old grandmother is the proud author of six books. She learned her first character in 1996, after her husband died in a car accident, when her daughter Zhang Ailing suggested that she learn to read to take her mind off the loneliness and sorrow.
Zhang says that her mother had her own way of learning. Whenever she came across characters she didn’t know at bus stops or shop signs, she found someone to ask. Once Jiang had learned enough characters, Zhang started giving her books to read. Enjoying the books, Jiang told her daughter that she wanted to write down her own stories to share.
She first put pen to paper in 2012, at the age of 75．It was not easy. Sometimes, completing a single sentence could take a day. Jiang usually started writing at 3 or 4 am, and revised the pieces several times until she was satisfied.
Zhang began publishing her mother’s stories on social media platforms in 2013．When Zhang and her mother drew the attention of Zhang’s writer friends, the pair made a decision to publish them. The first book, Time of Trouble, Time of Poverty, was published later that year, and proved to be a success. Some critics even praised it as the “live history of a nation plagued by tough times”. The book earned Jiang a lot of fans and sympathy.
So far, the elderly woman has published six books, totaling more than 600, 000 characters in length. She lives a healthy life, exercising every day, drinking milk and soy milk, as well as having regular exercise. “If I could live as long as 130, would you still say that it is too late for me to start after 60 ”she asks, jokingly.

I couldn’t sleep at all last night, and my sister believes it was because I ate a bowl of really spicy（辛辣的） food before bedtime. However, I was skeptical about the connection between spicy foods and sleep. Can eating spicy foods before bedtime truly impact one’s sleep quality Some people believe that eating spicy foods before bedtime can disrupt sleep by increasing body temperature and causing heartburn. It may be worth avoiding spicy foods close to bedtime.
To find out the relation, the researchers in Australia conducted an experiment to investigate the effects of spicy foods on sleep. They provided a group of individuals with delicious late-night meals, alternating（交替） between spicy and mild options. The results revealed that consuming spicy foods led to disrupted sleep patterns, causing participants to take longer to fall asleep and sleep for shorter time. This data supported the belief that there is a correlation between eating spicy foods and experiencing sleep disturbances.
While the exact mechanism（机制） by which spicy foods influence sleep remains unclear, researchers have proposed several possibilities. One is that stomach discomfort resulting from spicy food consumption may affect sleep quality. Additionally, the long digestion（消化） of spicy foods could delay the start of sleep. Furthermore, spicy foods contain something that can raise body temperature, which has been linked to poor sleep in previous studies.
Given these findings, it is advisable to avoid consuming spicy foods before bedtime to promote better sleep. Next time, I will follow my sister’s advice and opt for a milder meal in the evening to ensure a restful night’s sleep.
28．What do people usually think of eating spicy foods before bedtime
A．It can make people addictive to it. B．It can be bad for digestion.
C．It can make sleep difficult. D．It can lead to an increase in energy levels.
29．How did Australian researchers conduct this study
A．By analyzing data. B．By studying papers.
C．By doing an experiment. D．By doing interviews.
30．What can we know from the study
A．Body temperature has no effect on sleep. B．Spicy foods take long to digest.
C．Bad eating habit changes sleep patterns. D．Sleep problems may be caused by bad habits.
31．What is the purpose of this text
A．To suggest not eating spicy foods before bedtime. B．To forbid children from having spicy foods.
C．To promote some healthy food that is not spicy. D．To keep up with the latest healthy food research.
D
Scientists agree that predicting（预测） when and where an earthquake will occur and how big it will be is not yet possible. Therefore, much research has focused on coming up with ways to reduce the damage from earthquakes, rather than trying to predict when they will occur. Specifically, finding more information about the place under the surface helps developers and others make safer choices when constructing a building. This is where Navakanesh M Batmanathan is putting his efforts.
Batmanathan is an earthquake geologist at the National University of Malaysia. He is actively engaged in mapping the areas surrounding earthquakes in Borneo. Faults（断层） are places in the Earth’s crust（地壳） that are weak to sudden movement between masses of rock, resulting in occasional earthquakes. Batmanathan is working to map the faults, as well as the infrastructure（基础设施） in the area of the faults, to hopefully reduce the potential damage that can be caused by an earthquake. Developers and engineers can use this knowledge to plan where it is safest to build and where earthquake-resistant structures are needed.
Batmanathan is using a variety of tools to map faults. Working on the ground to map the area is just one of the methods he employs. He also uses images from satellites and ground-penetrating radar（GPR）. GPR is a technology that creates an underground image without digging. It has many applications, from finding the water level to understanding soil and rock types for construction projects. Batmanathan and others are using this technology to map faults, and the areas around faults, to gain a clearer picture of potential earthquake damage.
It might not ever be possible to know exactly when or where an earthquake will happen, but Batmanathan hopes that his work will help educate people and better prepare them for earthquakes.
32．What is the function of paragraph 1
A．Providing evidence. B．Giving suggestions.
C．Drawing a conclusion. D．Introducing the topic.
33．What is Batmanathan actively working on in Borneo
A．Studying volcanoes. B．Recording rivers.
C．Studying faults. D．Predicting earthquakes.
34．What do we know about GPR from paragraph 3
A．It can predict where an earthquake will happen. B．It can be applied in mapping faults.
C．It can predict the time of earthquakes. D．It can test the quality of the soil.
35．What is the best title for the text
A．Mapping Faults for Safer Construction B．Challenges in Predicting Earthquakes
C．The Future of Earthquake Prediction D．Technology for Reducing Earthquakes

M: Hello, everyone. Today, I’d like to talk about something about the English language. English is now used everywhere in the world. It has become the most common language around the world. Learning English makes me confident and brings me great pleasure. When I was seven, my mother sent me to an English school. I played games and sang English songs with other children there. Then I discovered the beauty of the language, and began my colorful dream in the English world.
Every day, I like reading English by following the tapes. Sometimes, I watch English cartoons. On the weekend, I often go to the English corner. By talking with different people there, I’ve improved my spoken English and made more and more friends.
I hope I can travel around the world someday. I want to go to America to visit Washington Monument, because the President Washington is the man I like most. Of course, I dream of going to England, too. If I can ride my bike in Cambridge University, I’ll be very happy.

第二节
参考范文：
“Dad, I didn’t mean to,” said Sally. “It’s OK. We all might make mistakes. See! It is now moving one of its legs. Run to the house and fetch some honey from the table for the little thing,” said Sally’s father. After a while, the little ant put out a fairy tongue to lick up the sweet stuff and moved with all its feet. Finally, it stood upon its pretty little jointed feet and seemed like it tried to run away from them.
“Where is the ant in such a hurry to go, Sally ” said her father. Sally didn’t know where the ant wanted to go. Her father told her it seemed like the little thing wanted to run home. “Oh! Does a little thing have a real home of its own ” asked Sally. Her father explained that ants clean their young by licking them and that worker ants care for the babies, even if they are not their own, with great affection. Her father advised Sally not to be unkind to ants, noting that they are as kind as humans despite their small size.
