2、任务型阅读。根据材料内容,按要求回答问题。
I grew up in the countryside. I didn't understand what it brought to me until I became an adult. It helped me learn more practical skills than my peers(同龄人) who grew up in cities. The first skill I learned was making dough(面团). In my hometown of Ningxia, people make noodles from the start of the evening. Since my parents often came home late, a prepared dough would help my family have dinner sooner. I thought it would be easy because I often saw my mum do it— just mix water and flour(面粉), right? Not quite! It was a mess for a while. First, I made the dough too soft. Then, I made it too hard. But as I kept trying, I learned the trick(窍门).
Later, I cooked fried dishes and things like dumplings. I fell in love with cooking. It's a good way to relax.Thanks to my cooking skills, I live a better life when I need to work at home. I cook every meal instead of ordering delivery(外卖). It saves money, and I don't have to wait for delivery drivers to bring me food. This may be why I'm so happy to know that students now have labor(劳动) education at school in China. These practical skills will help us students for the rest of our lives.
(1)、Where did the writer grow up?(2)、How could a prepared dough help the writer's family?(3)、Why did the writer fall in love with cooking?(4)、What does the writer think of cooking by herself?(5)、Do you want to have labor education at school? Why or why not? -

Mistakes: The Magical Stepping Stones to Success
Mistakes are not something to be feared or sad about. Instead, they are"playful magicians". Mistakes can turn"Oops" moments into"Wow" experiences! Why are mistakes so magical?
Sometimes, mistakes can make wonderful things. For example, if milk goes bad, it can turn into yogurt. If it changes even more, it becomes cheese. Cheese is even more delicious. Grapes can also surprise us. When they get sour for a long time, they become wine. And wine is much more expensive than the grapes.
Mistakes can also make people famous. Christopher Columbus made a mistake when he tried to find a new road to Asia. Instead, he found America. Alexander Fleming made a mistake in his lab, but it led him to make penicillin(青霉素). The medicine saved millions of lives.
So, instead of being sad about mistakes, we should hug them and keep trying, because mistakes show us new ways to grow smarter. They are like special gifts from life that lead us to wonderful things. The mistakes we make today can become the stepping stones for our success tomorrow.

①Costa Rica(哥斯达黎加) is not a traditional northern country. Here you do not have the turn of four different seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. It only has two seasons: dry season and wet season. So for tourists, when is the best time to go to Costa Rica?
②Most people like visiting Costa Rica in the dry season. The sun shines brightly almost every day from December to April and people won't get wet. This allows them to visit more places during the trip.
③The best thing to do in Costa Rica in the dry season is to enjoy the beaches. The sunny weather allows people to enjoy the fun beach activities like swimming and surfing(冲浪). If you want quieter beaches perfect for swimming, you can visit the Gulf of Papagayo(帕帕加约湾) and Peninsula Papagayo(帕帕加约半岛). If you want beaches perfect for surfing, go to beaches like Tamarindo(塔马林多) and Playa Grande(格兰德海滩).
④The wet season is also great for vacation. The hotel price is not high and there are much fewer visitors around. In the wet season, Costa Rica shows its green scenery(风景). The rain from May to November helps the rainforest grow. Waterfalls get stronger as more water flows in the rivers. And, yes, you can go out and see all of this.
⑤The wet season doesn't mean that you can't leave your hotel. The rain usually comes in the afternoons and the mornings are often sunny and dry. So you are still able to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the rainy months of Costa Rica.

(1)、Which two seasons are there in Costa Rica?A、Dry and wet. B、Spring and winter. C、Summer and autumn.(2)、Why most people like visiting Costa Rica in the dry season?A、Because the scenery is beautiful. B、Because it's cool in the dry season.

Some students often complain(抱怨) about learning English. The subject, they say, takes up too much of their time. They have to read many passages, look up new words in the dictionary and do lots of exercises. Even though they work hard, they still can't get good scores on tests."Why?" they ask."How can I enjoy success?"The story of Chinese astronaut Deng Qingming might help to answer their questions.
Deng was chosen as an astronaut trainee in 1998. Since that day, he had spent almost all of his time training hard to become an astronaut. Over the years, Deng has seen other trainees go into space one after another. However, he was always a backup(后备人员). He often felt sad. Sometimes, he even cried.
But Deng never gave up. Although he was in his fifties, he kept training hard."I must be ready whenever the chance comes to me," he once said. Finally, on the night of November 29th, 2022, he and two other astronauts boarded(登上) the Shenzhou-15 Manned Spaceship and flew into space. Deng had waited 24 years for this very moment.
So, if you want to give up learning English or something else, think about Deng's story. Your efforts might not pay off right away. Be patient. Try to improve your methods and keep going. One day, success will knock at your door. Being different from Deng, you probably won't even have to wait 24 years for that moment!
(1)、Which one is NOT mentioned about learning English in Paragraph 1?A、Writing more short articles. B、Doing lots of English exercises. C、Reading many English passages.(2)、How did Deng Qingming feel when he was always a backup?A、Sad. B、Angry.

C、Keeping training hard.(4)、How many astronauts boarded the Shenzhou-15 Manned Spaceship and flew into space?A、One. B、Two. C、Three.(5)、What does the writer want to show by telling the story of Deng Qingming?A、Don't complain when you meet difficulties. B、Don't give up and keep going, and you will succeed. C、You'll get good scores on tests if you work hard. -

Once a king got two nice falcons(猎鹰) from his son. He had never seen such beautiful falcons before.He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.
After several months, the king came to see how the training was going on. He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while the other was staying on the branch(树枝) of a tree quietly, just keeping still. The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make the other falcon fly. But none of them succeeded. One day, while the king was taking a walk in the forest, an idea came to his mind. Maybe someone who knew the natural environment well could solve this problem. He sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.
The next morning, the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely."It is unbelievable!"shouted the king."How could you make it happen?" The farmer replied,"It's very easy. I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested." It is always the same to human beings. We all have"two flying wings" in our hearts as well, but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we are just for safety and comfort. We won't realize we can fly so high and freely until the"branch" we are resting on breaks.
(1)、What did the king do after he got two falcons?A、He kept them on the branch of a tree. B、He sent them to a farmer in the forest. C、He made the best falconer train them to fly.(2)、Why did the king call all his falconers together?A、Because he wanted to get more falcons. B、Because he wanted the other falcon to fly.

C、The farmer.(4)、How did the king feel when he saw the other falcon fly freely in the sky?A、Amazed. B、Moved.
