Can you imagine a sea of sand three times bigger than India? This is the Sahara Desert, the largest desert in the world. It covers 11 countries in North Africa and is over 9 million square kilometres. That’s more than 25% of Africa.
In the Sahara, temperatures are very different during the day and at night. It is much hotter during the day. The hottest time is between 2 p. m. and 4 p. m., when temperatures rise to 38℃. But it is very cold at night—the coldest time is at 4 a. m., when temperatures fall to -4℃. The Sahara is also very dry. It seldom rains.
Because of the temperatures in the desert, it is a very difficult place to survive. Here are some tips on how to stay alive in the Sahara Desert.
During the day, cover your body, head and face. Clothes protect you from the sun and keep water in your body. You will also need a warm blanket at night. It can get cold very quickly. When the temperature drops, it can be a shock and make you feel even colder.
A car is easier to see than a person walking in the desert. You can also use the mirrors from your car to signal to planes and other cars. You can use your car tyres(轮胎) to make a fire. A fire is easy to see. It will help people find you and it will keep you warm at night.
Try to drink some water at least once every hour. You need your water to last as long as possible. Drink only what you need. When you talk, you lose water from your body. Keep your mouth closed and do not talk.
If you eat, you will get thirsty and drink all of your water more quickly. You can eat a little, but only to stop you from feeling very hungry. Eat very small amounts of food and eat very slowly. You can live for three weeks with no food, but you can only live for three days without water.
A small place near a tree or a rock will be the warmest. But be careful before you decide where to sleep. Dangerous animals like snakes and scorpions also like to sleep in these places. Look carefully for animals before you lie down.
29．How does the writer describe the Sahara Desert in Paragraph 1 and 2?
A．By telling reasons. ．By listing numbers.
C．By giving examples. ．By explaining points.
30．How many ways are mentioned to help keep water in the body?
A．Two. ．Three. ．Four. ．Five.
31．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Eating at least once every hour helps avoid getting hungry.
B．Little rain in the Sahara makes it a difficult place to survive.
C．Mirrors and tyres can be used to give information to ask for help.
D．Places near trees or rocks are the warmest and safest for sleeping.
Ann wanted to play in the Community Orchestra（管弦乐队）, but she was nervous. She thought the music might be too difficult. The first day she was so nervous that she could hardly tune the strings（调音）of her instrument. The only orchestra she had ever played in was the one at school. After a few rehearsals（排练）, she was comfortably playing along with everyone else. She realized that there was no reason to be nervous and began to enjoy herself.
In rehearsals, Ann became friends with Danny, who sat next to her. Danny was always helpful. Ann liked to ask him questions about music. Danny’s parents were musicians. They had started teaching Danny music when he was only five years old. Ann couldn’t imagine playing the violin at that age. Danny told her that many famous musicians and composers started studying music at a very young age.
Another orchestra member who became a friend of Ann’s was Marie. Marie played the clarinet（单簧管）. After rehearsal, she would tell Ann funny stories. Marie said that when she played the clarinet at home as a child, it squeaked so much that she got the nickname “Squeaky”. That was a long time ago. Now Marie had a beautiful tone on the clarinet. Sometimes, just to make Ann laugh, Marie would make her clarinet squeak. Even though Marie was much older than Ann, the two became good friends.
The orchestra was rehearsing music for the spring concert. Ann liked all the composers, but Mozart was her favourite. Some of her friends didn’t understand why she liked Mozart. But they promised to come to the spring concert anyway. Ann’s family was also planning to attend the concert. They didn’t know any of these composers either. Ann looked forward to the event, and she hoped it would not rain on the night of the concert.
On the night of the spring concert, Ann was excited. She had never played for so many people before. Danny and Marie both told her that the spring concert is always fun. Ann knew that she would enjoy it. The conductor（指挥）, who usually seemed quite calm, was nervous. Ann was surprised because she knew that he had been in big concerts all over the world for at least 40 years. After the concert was over, the conductor seemed pleased. He praised the members of the orchestra for their fine performance.
32．Which BEST describes Ann at the beginning of the passage?
A．She was excited to make new friends. ．She was afraid she would make a mess.
C．She was willing to try something new. ．She was not interested in playing music.
33．Which of the following is TRUE about Ann’s friends?
A．Not all her friends loved Mozart’s music. ．Danny often asked Ann a lot about music.
C．Her friends would learn to play the violin. ．Marie could play the clarinet well as a child.
34．What most probably explains why Ann didn’t want it to rain?
A．Ann’s friends didn’t like the rain. ．The concert was going to be held outside.
C．The concert was going to be held at night. ．Ann couldn’t walk to the concert in the rain.
35．What would happen later in the passage?
A．Ann would decide to be a conductor. ．Ann would play in many more concerts.
C．Ann and Marie will teach children music. ．Ann and Danny would join another orchestra.
Like detectives, archaeologists use evidence to solve mysteries. Detectives look for clues to solve crimes. Archaeologists look for clues to help them understand how people lived long ago. In fact, the word “archaeology” means “the study of ancient things”. One type of evidence used to learn about the past is pottery.
People have used pottery for thousands of years all over the world. Old pottery is usually found in pieces called “potsherds”. Sometimes potsherds found in the same place can be put back together to recreate the original pot. Even in pieces, old pottery can teach us about the past. When examining pottery, archaeologists consider not only its appearance but what it was made of and how it was made. With this knowledge, they can get information about people’s lives in ancient times. ①
Pottery is made by first adding water to a kind of soil called clay. When wet, clay can be formed into shapes. It is then heated. This hardens(使变硬) the clay and allows it to keep its shape. To make clay easier to shape and heat, potters(制陶工) use something called “temper”. Different materials can be used as temper. An archaeologist can tell where a pot came from by the types of clay and temper that were used. Sometimes a pot found in one location might have materials from another place. ②
Some of the earliest pots were made quite simply. A piece of clay was hollowed(掏空) out and shaped into a bowl. It was then heated at a low temperature. The finished pot was rough(粗糙), and often undecorated. This type of pot might be used for cooking. ③
Later, coiled pots were made. These were made by first rolling the clay into a long snake shape. The coil was then wound(绕) in circles to form a pot. They were often decorated in different ways. These pots were heated at high temperatures. The higher the temperature, the harder and longer-lasting the pot. Further improvements in pottery-making developed in different times and places. ④
A pot’s shape and decoration can provide clues about the past. Painted pictures might show events from daily life or from ancient stories. Archaeologists know certain shapes and styles that were common in different times and places.
Archaeologists study the differences in types of pottery closely. Because of their work, these daily objects can tell some of the mysteries of the past.
36．When examining pottery, archaeologists consider not only its appearance but what it was made of and how it was made.
The word “examining” means “________” in English.
A．studying ．displaying ．searching ．discovering
37．Why are the words “potsherds” and “temper” written in quotation marks(引号) in Paragraphs 2 and 3?
A．To remind readers that both words are very useful.
B．To make sure readers understand the words correctly.
C．To show that these words come from other languages.
D．To introduce the words that may be unknown to readers.
38．When is temper added to the clay?
A．Before the clay is shaped. ．After the pot is heated.
C．While the pot is being decorated. ．When the clay is hollowed.
39．We can put the sentence “This can provide clues about how people traded or travelled.” in Blank ________.
A．① ．② ．③ ．④
40．What is the main idea of this passage?
A．People have used pottery for thousands of years all over the world.
B．Pots are decorated with pictures that show events from ancient stories.
C．Ancient pottery can tell about the lives of the people who made and used it.
D．Archaeologists look for clues to solve mysteries in different times and places.

Nowadays, whenever a customer wants to order food, it’s at their fingertips with take-out apps like Meituan and Eleme. All a hungry person has to do is to open the app, scroll through an endless number of restaurant choices, and have the food delivered to their door. That convenience(便捷) and variety(多样性) has made such apps hugely welcome in China, Japan, North American countries and European countries, and especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many users say food delivery apps make their life much easier while others think they’re bad for local businesses. What do you think? Should take-out apps be banned(禁止)?
Yes—the convenience isn’t worth it
Many restaurants complain that take-out apps are more trouble than they’re worth. Some apps take a huge bite of the money from each sale—as much as 25%. Restaurants must either increase their prices or make less money, in an industry where profits(利润) are already slim. Also, they can’t always keep up with the increasing number of orders they receive. That makes customers unsatisfied with their service and products. Meanwhile, delivery workers say they’re not paid enough for a difficult, dangerous job in which they have to speed through busy streets. And what’s more, food delivery causes very serious environmental problems. According to a report, only plastic waste of all deliveries in China came to 1,600,000 tons in 2020. Can you imagine what it’s like in the whole world?
No—they offer an important service
Food apps bring restaurants more customers. Many of them might not know about their business otherwise. More customers means more orders, so even if the apps charge a fee(收费), the restaurant still wins. During the past few years when people couldn’t go out to eat, the apps helped businesses stay afloat(维持下去) and created millions of restaurant and delivery jobs. Delivery people work hard, but they can choose when and where to work. And for busy people, the apps provide the convenience of getting all kinds of food after a long day at work or school, allowing for more time with family and friends.
| Should take-out apps be banned? | |
| Present situation | Take-out apps make it much ____56____ to order food.Food delivery apps are ____57____ used all over the world. |
| Different ____58____ about take-out apps | The convenience isn’t worth it.Apps take as much as one ____59____ of money from each sale. Too many orders ____60____ the quality of service and products. Delivery workers ____61____ riding their e-bikes too fast through busy streets. Waste from all deliveries is a ____62____ for the environment. |
| They offer an important service.They help restaurants catch more customers’ ____63____ and win more orders. They can ________ restaurant and delivery workers with more jobs. Ordering meals on apps helps busy people ____65____ time. | |
