Dear Mr. Green,
In order to make Britain students have a better understanding of traditional Chinese culture and promote the friendship of the two schools, our school is going to donate a large number of books to your school.
As is known to all, we have a rich traditional culture that covers a diversity of topics. Therefore, we have been carefully choosing books that are most typical and cater for us teenagers. After adequate consideration, we have agreed that books about traditional Chinese festivals, food and costumes, and some classic Chinese novels are likely to be what will appeal to your students.
There is still much detailed information we need to discuss about the donation, such as the time and the way to deliver the books. So I hope you can write me a reply at your earliest convenience.
Yours,
Li Hua

One day, however, Mary came with good news. She told Jane the school music festival was to be held the next month and that her classmates all expected her to sing on behalf of her class. Jane’s eyes sparkled but responded doubtfully, “Can I... ” Mary and I immediately assured her that she could make it. In the following month, with the help of Mary, Jane kept on practicing singing. Beautiful songs echoed in our house again and smiles began to appear on her face. Finally the big day came when she could present herself.
When the host announced it was Jan’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. Jane was greeted with warm applause. As she began to sing, the audience got absorbed in her beautiful voice. Seconds after her performance, all the audience rose with thunderous cheers. When wheeled off stage, Jane received praise and bunches of flowers from her teachers and classmates. Jane was moved to tears. The kindness and encouragement from her teachers and classmates stimulated Jane's enthusiasm for life, making her regain confidence in pursuing her original dream, which I will support wholeheartedly.

Earthquakes are among the most harmful natural disasters. Earthquakes cannot be predicted, but your chances of survival are much better if you prepare in advance and you know what to do when an earthquake strikes.
Firstly, you need to get something ready. In the event of an emergency, many services like electricity and water may become unavailable. To ensure your survival, besides food and water, you will need the following emergency supplies: flashlights, blankets, money and so on.
Secondly, you should know what to do. When an earthquake happens, drop to the ground, find cover and hold on. If you're indoors, stay there and find shelter under a strong table. You should also stay clear of windows and outer walls. Don't use lifts as there's a risk you'll become trapped. If you're in a crowded area, don't rush towards the doors as there's a risk of injury. If you're outside, be aware of falling pieces and stay clear of buildings, overhead structures, walls, power lines and trees. If you're in a car, stop in an open area until the shaking stops. Check your ABC Radio station, or the ABC Emergency Twitter pages for warnings before moving. Be aware of damaged roads and bridges.玉溪一中2024—2025学年上学期高三年级月考（二）

On an extremely cold December night, fire trucks arrived in the sleepy little town of Manton, Michigan and shot to Chittle’s home. Was it because of a fire or a child climbing too high to a dangerous place Rather, it was for helping make a dream come true.
Outdoor activities and a slow pace of life are a mainstay in this rural town. When people were unable to leave the community, Scott Chittle decided they needed a safe place to come together and something joyful during the winter months. And what is a better outdoor activity to get people outside than ice skating
To fulfil his dream, Chittle downloaded instructions on how to build an ice rink and then ordered a 3,000 square foot waterproof cloth and some wood to create walls online. It took 12 fire trucks to get enough water to fill the plot.
It took a little time and some neighborly persuasion as Chittle went door to door to convince people to come to see his creation, and soon Chittle’s backyard ice rink became a Manton hot spot. Children were skating and shooting, a fire was burning, and hot chocolate was steaming in to-go cups. “When things were tough, it was a place,” says Chittle’s neighbor Audrey Hooker. “It was fantastic because we just came together and became calm and happy instead of concerned.”
But the goodwill didn’t stop with Chittle. When the community heard how much money he used to make this project happen, everyone stepped forward. A fundraiser brought in about $1,300, and letters flooded to Chittle’s home stuffed with cash. “Almost 30 complete strangers knocked on my door to just shake my hand and say thank you, most of them handing me money as well and three asking for a hug,” says Chittle. “This has been a community thing. It’s more than me. I want to show the rest of the world what a little effort and the best intentions can do.”
24．Why did fire trucks come to Manton
A．To deal with an emergency. B．To send supplies to the community.
C．To ensure people’s safety in the town. D．To help with Chittle building the ice rink.
25．What did Chittle do to carry out his project
A．Persuade his neighbors to make donations. B．Purchase a piece of land behind his house.
C．Turn to the Internet for tips and materials. D．Research the popular lifestyles in Manton.
26．How did the ice rink affect the community
A．It made the community popular in Mantan.
B．It slowed down the pace of the residents’ life.
C．It offered people there comfort and company.
D．It inspired the residents to do outdoor activities.
27．What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean
A．Chittle had goodwill to the whole community.
B．Chittle received acts of kindness from others.
C．The community got better due to the ice rink.
D．Everyone could make a difference to society.

Have you ever seen your cat or dog eating grass They do so because it can help their digestion, and many wild species use natural substances to prevent and control diseases. This is called “zoo pharmacognosy” or, more commonly, animal self-medication.
Scientists have discovered that tamarin monkeys use a specific tree resin (树脂) as medicine. In the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, scientists followed several groups of them to collect data. During one of these daily studies, tamarin monkeys were observed rubbing their bodies on the trunk of a tree. At first, researchers thought that they were marking their territory, a common behaviour in this species. Botanical experts later confirmed that the tree was a species of cabreuva, which is well known for its medical properties.
Researchers decided to place camera-traps in different sites at the foot of the tree to record future visits by tamarin monkeys. The records surprisingly showed that many animals living in the forest visited it. Totally, ten species were observed. For many of them, it was the first time that behaviors similar to self-medication had been observed. More surprisingly, one species spread resin on each other’s fur in pairs. In general, the species seemed to specifically visit the tree to acquire the resin and seemingly benefit from it, either healing their wounds or fighting back parasites (寄生虫).
While further studies are needed to identify the properties of the resin and thus confirm that this is indeed self-medication, the use of it suggests that cabreuva represents a common and universal drugstore for the residents of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. It is likely to be a valuable resource helping the species maintain their magnitude by improving their health.
This discovery could have an important protection influence, as the disappearance of some trees could potentially affect the survival of some animals.
28．Why do tamarin monkeys rub themselves against the tree
A．They are trying to cure diseases.
B．They would like to digest what they eat.
C．They are attracting companions’ attention.
D．They regards the tree as part of their territory.
29. What do researchers find through camera- traps
A. Many animals copy monkeys'behaviors.
B. Animals can help each other clean the fur.
C. The eabreduva is the habitat of tamarin monkeys.
D. Resin may possibly ased as medicine by some species.
30. What does Andrew Gentry think about animals using the resin as medicine
A. It helps the species bond more frmly.
B. It's an strange but impressive animal behavior.
C.It benefits both the individuals and the whole species group.
C. They need much practice before mastering this survival skill.
31. What is the possible significance of the discovery according to the passage
A.Promoting evolution of creatures. B. Contributing to forest conseryation.
C.Developing new medicine from resin D. Motivating the study of monkeys' health
D
There are all electric cars, boats, trains, and small planes that are a sustainable way to travel. Larger airplanes have not been able to make the transition because the lithium-ion (锂离子的) batteries are too heavy and not strong enough to provide the power for the airplane to take-off.
NASA is working on a new innovative solid-state battery that can be used by the aviation(航空) industry. The batteries, called Solid-state Architecture Batteries for Enhanced Recharge ability and Safety (SABERS) do not suffer from any of the limitations of lithium-ion batteries and can outperform the batteries that are available now.
The solid-state batteries that NASA researchers are working on carry more energy, and are considerably lighter, and much safer to use. That’s because solid-state batteries do not contain liquids which can lead to overheating, fires, and charge loss.
Battery performance is the key to making aviation sustainable and practical. The batteries must be able to store large amounts of energy without being too heavy. And the battery must be able to rapidly release that energy. That’s where solid-state technology comes in.
Liquid batteries require each cell to be inside its own steel casing. Solid-state batteries can be stacked in a single casing and that reduces the weight. The battery can also run at much higher temperatures that require much less cooling. All of this makes NASA’s new battery very promising.
Now that NASA has demonstrated the new battery’s properties, the agency is looking at all its potential uses. SABERS is cooperating with researchers from Georgia Tech. “Georgia Tech has a big focus on micro mechanics of how the cell changes during operation. That helped us look at the pressures inside the battery, which then helped us improve the battery even more,” Viggiano said in the news release. “It also led us to understand from a practical standpoint how to make a cell like this.”
He added that SABERS has grown from an idea discussed around a lunch table to a possible solution for sustainable aeronautics (航空学). A fully electric airplane is more likely to appear on the market.
32.Which ofthe following statement is true according to the first two paragraphs？
A. Larger airplanes have been using lithium- ion batteries widely.
B. The solid- state battery developed by NASA has been on the market.
C. SABERS do much better than the lithium- ion batteries available now.
D. It's impossible to apply lithium- ion batteries to aviation for their limitations.
33.what is paragraph 4 mainly about？
A. Advantageous features of the new battery.
B. Current main tasks of NAS A researchers.
C. Potential problems of traditional batteries.
D. Working principles of lithium- ion batteries.
34. What can be inferred from Rocco Viggiano’s words in the last paragraph
A. SABERS appears too optimistic about its future.
B. The stability of SABERS has been proved perfect.
C. Further research is being done to improve ASBERS.
D. Georgia Tech is in charge of producing the cells for ASBERS.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. NASA's Electric Airplanes Are Ready to Take Off.
B. Great Changes Are Taking Place in the Aviation Industry.
C. A Promising Sustainable Future Has Already Taken Root.
D.Solid- state Batteries May Help Larger Electric Airplanes Fly.

Meat is an indispensable part of Chinese cuisine. But not everyone is fond of eating meat. 36 As early as the Tang Dynasty(618-907), compassionate people invented “mock meat” from tofu and vegetables, a tradition that has lasted until the present day. Now, people who want to cut down on cholesterol, reduce their carbon footprint or express sympathy for animals may have found some answers from plant-based meat.
Plant-based meat is commonly used in many foods and the most popular case can be found in veggie burgers, whose “meat” part is often made from ingredients such as beans, nuts, grains and mushrooms. If you tried veggie burgers years ago and thought them as rubbery, flavourless, it’s a good time to give them another chance. 37 It is even more real and delicious than you can imagine.
38 Many meatless manufacturers don’t reveal their total emission, but research shows they do generate much fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to their meat equivalence. One study found that making a Beyond Burger, a veggie burger, uses 99 percent less water, 93 percent less land, and nearly 50 percent less energy.
More and more people are looking to limit their meat consumption. A lot of research supports the idea that a plant-based diet can boost your health, decrease the risk of heart disease, type II diabetes and certain cancers, and help you stay at a healthy weight. 39 ．
Physical and economic benefits have drawn companies and manufacturers to devote themselves to the plant-based meat industry. But it is not so easy as we expect. 40 ． They are patiently planning to increase their employee count, purchase manufacturing facilities, and expand their sales and distribution channels. Despite these challenges, the plant-based industry is continuing to grow rapidly and many in the industry are optimistic about the future.
A．Doubts have been raised over food safety issues.
B．Old habits die hard and it takes time to accept new things.
C．Popularity goes with reducing negative environmental impacts.
D．Plant-based meat industry will soon substitute the traditional one.
E．It can even lengthen your life and be good for your mental health.
F．Newer varieties mock the look, flavor, and texture of the real thing.
G．People’s reasons for not eating meat are as varied as people themselves.

The phrase“living under a rock”usually means being unaware of what is happening in the world. But in Setenil de lasBodegas, the idiom takes on a literal meaning. Many of the Spanish town’3,000 residents live in homes 56 (build) inside the rock formations of a narrow gorge(峡谷) of the Rio Trejo River.
The unusual structure 57 (believe) to have been inspired by the ancient Arab tradition of underground carve dwellings(住宅)to deal with extreme heat.They can be credited to the Moors, 58 founded the town in the 12th century.Rather than building entire homes, they enlarged natural cups in the gorge and a a few extra walls.
The dwellings are inexpensive and keep residents cool during the hot summer months. They are also earthquake-resistant and 59 (likely) to catch fire. The rock coverings extend over the street, 60 ( provide) natural shade for passers- by.

阅读下面材料，根据其所给内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As a single mother, I’ve never doubted my daughter Jane’s dream to be a singer on the stage. At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart’s content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs.
Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing.
Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me.
It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Mary.
That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don’t worry. We’ll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane’s cheeks.
After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us.
