1、As they were looking up at the ceiling, they saw that there were thousands of bats hanging there. They were so afraid that they started to quickly walk toward the other side of the room. They tried another way because they thought it was not safe to go back through the room with the bats.
However, as they walked on, they found they were lost. Becky started to cry wildly.
"Surely, your mother will see tonight that you haven't come back," Tom said. "She'll send people out to look for you."
Becky thought for a moment and then started to cry even harder. "Oh, Tom. She thinks that I'm sleeping at the Harpers tonight. She won't find that I'm missing until late the next morning!"
"Alright, Becky. Let's not cry. We should just keep walking. As long as we walk, there's hope."
So they walked with no idea where they were going. Tom, after a while, had to put out the candle in order to save it. And so much of the time they walked in total darkness. Tom tried calling out for help several times but never got any answer in return.
Tom had some kite string in his pocket. He took it out and tied one end to a rock. Then he told Becky to sit and wait for him. Tom lit the candle again and made his way down one of the roads. He didn't get far when the floor in front of him suddenly dropped fast into the black world below. He stretched his arm to feel how deep the drop was. While he was feeling around, his hand touched another hand. Tom jumped back and held out his candle to see who was there. A face then appeared. It was the face of Injun Joe.

3、阅读下列短文,从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将相应字母编号涂黑。
As a university student, I decided to learn German. For some reason, I really liked the language, but I was not very good at learning it. The grammar1 me a lot and even drove me crazy. My only advantage was2—I got an A on every word test I took. After two years of study, I managed to communicate in broken German and applied to study in Germany to complete my degree. It was the3 term I would ever have.
The moment I arrived in Germany, I felt like I was making a fresh start. The German I learned in university wasn't4 for everyday conversation. My book knowledge didn't work when I used it to read emails and talk with my classmates. I was often nervous at school because I always5 whether the teachers would call me in class and whether I'd understand their questions. I only6 a little around my eight roommates. It's mainly because they were willing to speak German slowly to me and didn't seem to mind my7.
I chose to study three courses—reading and writing, grammar and history. All were in German and difficult, but the history class was the worst. The teacher spoke so fast that almost everything he said flew right over my head. I sat in the front, took notes and even wrote down every single word he said8, but nothing helped. I had no idea what the class was really about.
Years have passed, but I still remember how it felt to9 another language so hard. That trip was a difficult but10 lesson. I think my failure that term taught me just as much as my success.

We spoke with Kathryn Bergeron, who works at a public library in America, to find the answer.Q: What jobs do you often do?
A: Librarians do not just make sure the books are on the right shelves. We also do things like ordering new books, helping readers find the resources (资源) they need and teaching people how to use new technologies.
Q:
A: Most librarians work 40 hours per week. Those in management often work more than that. There are day shifts and night shifts. And we often have to work at weekends.
Q: How has your job changed over the years?
A: The Internet is both our best friend and our worst enemy. Many people say librarians are dying out because the Internet has become widely available.I think people will always need libraries and librarians. Iactually find the Internet to be great for librarians. It gives us a chance to get rid of some books and make better use of our space. We can turn our library into a place for people to learn, connect and create.
Q:
A: Librarians have to carry out the library rules. Often, this is a normal job."Please put your shoes on, sir.""You can't sleep in the library. Yes, you were snoring (打呼噜)." But some people are rude. They will shout at me when I tell them they have broken the rules. I know I am a hero to everybody else in the room. However, it makes me sad when some people call me names (辱骂) as I am fulfilling my duty.
A. How long do you work every week?

Nima is a Sherpa. Sherpas are a group of people from Nepal who are famous for their climbing skills. They often work as guides, helping climbers from other countries.
Nima comes from a family of climbers. His father is a famous climber, and his uncles were the first brothers to both climb all of the 8,000ers. That has given Nima a strong support group.
But even so, Nima didn't start climbing seriously until he was 16 years old. He climbed his first 8,000er,Manaslu, in September 2022. Nima climbed Everest, the world's tallest mountain, over the next two years.

Nima says climbing is a hard sport. "It's about who can suffer the most when times are the worst," he said.
This year, Nima returned to Shishapangma and decided to complete his challenge. He says he was thinking of his friend as he reached the top of the mountain on 9 October.
Nima says he hopes his successes will make people more aware of how important Sherpas are to climbing. But he aims to be more than a guide. He says he wants to show that Sherpas are as good as climbers from any other country. "My dream is very simple," Nima says. "It's just to be one of the best athletes in mountaineering."
At just 18 years old, he's well on his way. His success has already been confirmed (证实) by Nepal's government. It will take a while longer for Guinness World Records to make it official.
