1、In the wild, wolves with broken legs often face an unlucky result, waiting for death. Yet, in the Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve (可可西里国家级自然保护区) in Qinghai, one such wolf had a different fate (命运). It grew from a poor, thin one to a fat, happy wolf because tourists in the area often fed it.
This "act of kindness" led people to ask: Should tourists feed the wolf? Supporters argue that without feeding, the wolf would expire because it couldn't get food by itself. But those who do not agree with the idea believe that humans should not mess with (干扰) the natural order. Science, however, provides us with an answer.
Research published in Scientific Reports in June 2019 studied how human feeding influenced the lives of bottlenose dolphins (宽吻海豚) near Bunbury, Australia. Dolphins there can sometimes get food from the Dolphin Discovery Centre. After studying more than 10 years of data, the scientists found that dolphins looking for food from boats had a higher risk of death than those who found food themselves. This is because they may get hit by boats or caught by fishermen.
Feeding wild animals may lead animals to depend on humans for food, warned Dai Qiang, scientist. What's more, sick animals may bring diseases (疾病) to people who feed them.
So, if we come across a wild animal that seems to need our help, what should we do? Does it mean there is nothing we can do? Of course not, Qi Xinzhang, the director of Xining Wildlife Park, advised that it's best to report the animal to the government instead of just feeding it.

D、To raise the question about feeding wild animals.(2)、What does the underlined word "expire" mean?A、Die. B、Fight. C、Hide. D、Travel.(3)、Why did some bottlenose dolphins have a higher risk of death according to the text?A、Because they had some diseases. B、Because they couldn't get food by themselves. C、Because humans often mess with the natural order. D、Because they may be hurt by boats or caught by fishermen.(4)、What's the advice from Qi Xinzhang if we meet a wild animal that seems to need help?A、Just leave it alone. B、Report it to the government. C、Take it to the wildlife park. D、Feed it as soon as possible.(5)、Which could be the best title for the text?A、Do wild animals like human food? B、Should wild animals live by themselves? C、Should tourists feed wild animals? D、Can we touch wild animals when seeing them? -
2、My grandparents had been married for over half a century. Throughout their lives, they played a special game called "SHMILY". The rules were simple: one would write the word "SHMILY" in a surprising place for the other to find.
They took turns. "SHMILY" was written in the steam on the bathroom mirror after a hot shower. It was scratched in the frost on a windowpane on a cold morning. Sometimes, my grandmother even rewound (倒转) an entire roll of toilet paper to write "SHMILY" on the last sheet.
There was no limit to their creativity. A quick "SHMILY" might appear on the dusty dashboard of the car. Little notes with "SHMILY" were found in shoes, under pillows, or tucked inside a newspaper.
For a long time, I didn't understand what this strange word meant. I was curious about their little game.
Their love for each other was clear. They held hands whenever they could. They stole kisses when they passed each other in the kitchen. My grandmother would often tell me how handsome and charming my grandfather still was.
But then, a cloud came over our family. My grandmother's cancer (癌症) returned. It had first appeared ten years earlier. As always, my grandfather stayed by her side through every difficult step. He even painted their bedroom a sunny yellow so that when my grandmother was too sick to go outside, she could still feel surrounded (围绕) by light.
As grandmother grew weaker, grandfather had to go to church alone. Then, the day came when we all knew we had to say goodbye.
At my grandmother's funeral (葬礼), my grandfather walked slowly to her coffin. His voice was soft and full of emotion as he spoke in a low voice into her ear. And then I heard it. For the first time, I understood the secret.
He said, "S-H-M-I-L-Y".
At that moment, I realized that "SHMILY" stood for: See How Much I Love You.
It was more than a game. It was a lifelong promise.
(1)、According to the passage, which of the following is a place where "SHMILY" was found?A、On the fridge door. B、On the last sheet of the toilet paper. C、On a birthday card. D、In the steam on the kitchen window.(2)、Why did the grandfather paint the bedroom yellow?A、To follow the doctor's suggestions for a sick room. B、To make the room feel sunny for his sick wife. C、To paint it in his own favorite color. D、To prepare for a family celebration.(3)、What is the purpose of this passage?A、To explain the rules of a fun family game. B、To describe the sad story of a woman's illness. C、To show a deep and lasting love between a couple. D、To advise people on how to express their feelings.(4)、Where is the passage most likely from?A、A guidebook. B、A story magazine. C、A health report. D、A book review. -
3、Do you often compare yourself with others? Perhaps your best friend receives something you really want, or you're not allowed to go to the movies but your brother or sister is. Comparisons are common and can sometimes be helpful, but focusing on your own progress is important for your happiness.
"We often compare ourselves with others who are doing better or not as well as ourselves." an expert says. "But I suggest comparing yourself with your past self and your future self. This can make you feel proud of what you've achieved and excited about what you will do. Focusing on your own goals is more important than trying to come out on top.
Comparing yourself to those around you is natural and we often do it without realizing it. It can help us to be clear about our achievements and to form friendships with new people who have similar interests. However, it's important to remember that nobody is perfect in real life. It's also important to take note of how the comparison is making you feel. "If you begin to feel quite low, focus on your own strengths," the expert says. In other words, you can ask yourself questions like "What can I do well in?", which can help you trust yourself.
Maybe here you are wondering "What if all my friends are better than me?" Another expert says jealousy (妒忌) is not bad but that focusing on bettering your own work can help you feel just as successful. He also mentions that learning to celebrate your friends' success can not only help to cheer your friends up but also help you feel good.
(1)、What does the writer tell us in Paragraph 1?A、We should compare ourselves with others. B、We should share things with brothers. C、We should enjoy movies with family. D、We should focus on our own progress.(2)、Why should you compare yourself to your past self?A、To care about others. B、To be proud of my achievements. C、To change my goals. D、To increase my own strength.(3)、What does the expert suggest in the last paragraph?A、Trying to come out on top. B、Focusing on your own work only. C、Celebrating others' success. D、Forming a deep friendship. -

However, Wen didn't4. She was just drawing circles on the desk with her finger.
Days passed quickly. The lessons were5 planned. The children were kind. But my effort seemed to make little difference. I was not sure if I was doing anything6.
One night, a heavy storm caused a power cut, leaving the classroom in darkness. As everyone was frozen, a soft light appeared. It was Wen who was holding a7 in her hand. "We can still read." she whispered. That was the first time I heard her voice.
The next day, she sat8 to others. In the following days, she began to talk more. In my last class, she came up and gave me the lantern. "So you will always have some9," she smiled gently.

9、阅读下面短文,简略回答问题。
Primary and middle schools in many cities have extended (延长) class "breaks" from 10 to 15 minutes. Why did they do this? The schools hope that both students and teachers can spend more time doing outdoor activities during breaks.
Before this change, most students only had 10 minutes between classes. If a class was on the third floor or above, students often found it hard to go outside. Think about it: going down stairs and up again takes a few minutes. By the time they got to the playground, there were only a few minutes left. So many students just stayed in the classroom or walked in the hallway. Now with 15 minutes, they can run to the playground, jump rope, or play games with friends. This change helps students meet the goal of doing at least 30 minutes of exercise each day. Most cities in China have all started this 15-minute break.
Most people think having longer class breaks is helpful. "My child comes home happier," said a parent. "She can play outside and relax her eyes." Teachers also notice good changes. "Students are more focused (注意力集中) in class after a longer break," said Mr Li, a maths teacher. "And when they play outdoors together, they learn to work as a team—like in basketball or tag games." For students, it is good for their health because they can have more time to relax. Both parents and teachers also agree with 15-minute breaks. Longer class breaks can help make students' social skills better in activities.
(1)、What did most students usually do during 10-minute class breaks?(2)、Why couldn't students on higher floors do outdoor activities before?(3)、What do many people think of a 15-minute break?(4)、Who agrees with 15-minute breaks?(5)、Do you like longer class breaks? Why or why not? -
