　　After the Wichita State University men’s basketball team won against Tarleton State on Tuesday， one player took an unusual victory lap around the stadium.Dexter Dennis stayed after the game to help staff at Koch Arena clean.
Dennis helped lead the Shockers to victory， but he didn’t boast.Instead， the soft-spoken college junior from Louisiana did something very humble.Video from the court shows him picking up trash in the stands.No one asked him to do it.
The video was shared on Twitter by Taylor Eldridge， who covers Wichita State athletics for The Wichita Eagle newspaper.“Dexter is a different kind of guy，” Eldridge tweeted.The video quickly went viral， which received more than 1.5 million views and tens of thousands of likes.
“Wasn’t in trouble or anything.Didn’t have to.He just wanted to help out the cleaning crew，” Eldridge wrote in another tweet.
Cleanup can take up to three hours after every game， Wichita State University Facilities Director David Gomez said.The director said seeing a student athlete staying to help is inspiring.
“We have several folks who have been here for decades and I know for some of them， that’s probably the first time they’ve seen something like that happen，” said Gomez.“And I want to say thank you for leading and showing us that there are still folks out there who recognise the hard work that’s done around here.”
“It’s crazy that someone who just played the game helps clean up the stadium，” Wichita State student and golfer Max Wojciechowski told KWCH.
Dennis declined KWCH’s offer for an interview and has not responded to CBS News， but did address the viral moment on Twitter.“Didn’t do it for attention，” Dennis tweeted.
He played for 30 minutes during the game， hitting three of four shots from the field and also entering the top 10 all time for career three-pointers in Shocker history， KWCH reports.
24.What attracted people’s attention about Dexter Dennis？
A.His basketball skills. B.His winning the match.
C.His special personality. D.His cleaning the stadium.
25.What does the underlined phrase “went viral” in Paragraph 3 mean？

C.Became popular. D.Got permission.
26.How did David Gomez react to Dexter Dennis’s behaviour？

　　Hurricane Laura hit Louisiana on Thursday with strong winds and heavy rains.It’s the strongest hurricane to hit Louisiana in over 150 years， and has left behind widespread damage.Laura is now weaker， but is still causing damage as it moves on.
Hurricanes are strong storms with fast， spinning winds that form over oceans.In a hurricane， the winds spin in a circle toward the center， which is lower in pressure.As the hurricane moves across the sea， it collects water into huge spinning clouds.The water is released as rain as the hurricane hits land.
Experts have been tracking Laura since mid-August.It moved through the Caribbean as a tropical storm.Tropical storms are like hurricanes， but with slower winds.Still， the storm was strong enough to kill 25 people as it moved across Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
As it came closer to the coast of Louisiana on Wednesday， Laura gathered strength， becoming a Category 4 Hurricane — the second strongest possible.Over 500，000 people along the coast were told they needed to leave their homes.
Hurricane Laura made landfall in Cameron， Louisiana early in the morning on Thursday.With winds blowing at 150 miles per hour （240 kilometers per hour）， it was Louisiana’s strongest hurricane since 1856.
After hitting land， Laura moved slowly north， bringing heavy rains and flooding， and leaving a path of wrecked homes and buildings behind.All through the state， trees were knocked down， damaging houses and taking out power lines.For over nine hours， Laura’s winds remained at hurricane speeds.Almost no area of Louisiana escaped.
Weather experts had predicted a massive storm surge （風暴潮） up to 20 feet （6 meters） in height.Luckily， the storm surge was not as large as predicted， though it still reached heights of up to 10 feet （3 meters）.Over 880，000 people were left without power， and up to 100，000 people have been left without drinking water.At least four people have died.
28.What do we learn about hurricanes？
A.They start under the sea. B.They come with lightning.
C.They can cause heavy rain. D.They come after heavy rain.
pared with tropical storms， hurricanes 　　　　.
A.last longer B.are stronger
C.travel more slowly D.cause less damage
30.How does the author show the power of Hurricane Laura？
A.By listing some numbers. B.By quoting some experts.
C.By giving some examples. D.By offering some theories.
31.What would be the best title for the passage？

　　Our planet’s oceans are warmer than they’ve ever been in recorded human history.And ocean temperatures are not only increasing， but they are heating up at an accelerating rate， according to a new analysis.
In 2019， the ocean temperature was about 0.135 degrees Fahrenheit （0.075 degrees Celsius） higher than the average between 1981 and 2010， an international group of researchers reported on 13 January in the journal Advances in Atmospheric Sciences.
That means that the ocean — which absorbs almost all of the greenhouse gases humans send into the atmosphere — has taken in 228 sextillian （228，000，000，000，000，000，000，000） joules of heat above its average， according to a statement.By comparison， the energy released by the Hiroshima atom-bomb explosion was about 63，000，000，000，000 Joules.
“The amount of heat we have put in the world’s oceans in the past 25 years equals to 3.6 billion Hiroshima atom-bomb explosions，” said lead author Lijing Cheng， associate professor with the International Center for Climate and Environmental Sciences at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics （IAP） of the Chinese Academy of Sciences （CAS）.
The oceans can be a good measure of the effect of climate change since they absorb the majority of excess heat from the atmosphere， the researchers wrote.The effects of the warming are already appearing as more extreme weather， rising sea levels and harm to ocean animals， according to the statement.
Though humans can work to control the effects of climate change， the oceans — which absorbed more than 90% of the excess heat — will take longer to recover than the land and atmosphere， which only absorbed 4%.
“Even with that small part affecting the atmosphere and land， the global heating has led to an increase in great fires in the Amazon， California and Australia in 2019， and we’re seeing that continue into 2020，” Cheng said.
“Global warming is real， and it’s getting worse，” co-author John Abraham， professor of thermal sciences at the University of St.Thomas in Minnesota， said in the statement.“And this is just the tip of the iceberg for what is to come.”
32.What does the author want to show by mentioning Hiroshima atom-bomb explosion？
A.The harm of climate change.
B.The influence of global heating.
C.The ocean absorbs huge quantities of heat.
D.The explosion has produced too much heat.
33.Why are oceans a good measure of the effect of climate change？
A.They are easy to monitor and examine.
B.They reduce the harm of global heating.
C.They send much heat into the atmosphere.
D.They take in most heat from the atmosphere.
34.What attitude did John Abraham take towards the future？
A.Confident. B.Worried.
C.Surprised. D.Ambiguous.
35.What would be the best title for the passage？
A.Ocean Temperatures Have Reached a New High
B.Where Has the Heat from the Atmosphere Gone？
C.Global Heating Has Caused Serious Consequences
D.What Has Resulted in Higher Ocean Temperatures？

Climate change， or global warming， is the process of our planet heating up.Scientists estimate that since the Industrial Revolution， human activity has caused the Earth to warm by approximately 1℃.　36　， it means big things for people and wildlife around the globe.
Over the past 150 years， industrialised countries have been burning large amounts of fossil fuels such as oil and gas.The gases released into the atmosphere during this process act like an invisible “blanket”， trapping heat from the sun and warming the Earth.　37　.
In the last 150 years human activity has meant we’re releasing a huge amount of harmful gases into the Earth’s atmosphere， and records show that the global temperatures are rising more rapidly.
Climate change is already affecting wildlife all over the world， but certain species are suffering more than others.　38　.In fact， experts believe that the Arctic sea ice is melting at a shocking rate — 9% per decade！ Polar bears need sea ice to be able to hunt， raise their young and as places to rest after long periods of swimming.
　39　.Most affected are some of the people who grow the food we eat every day.Farming communities， especially in developing countries， are facing higher temperatures， increased rain， floods and droughts.
You can take action by making some small changes in your own home.Try switching to energy-saving lightbulbs， walking instead of using the car， turning off electrical items when you’re not using them， recycling and reducing your food waste.　40　.You can check out more eco-friendly ideas， in our top five conservation tips！
A.If we take effective measures
B.Polar animals are particularly at risk
C.While that might not sound like much
D.This is known as the “Greenhouse Effect”
E.It is not just polar animals who are in trouble
F.All these little things can make a big difference
G.Climate change is already having an impact on people， too

　　（2024·合肥八校聯考）Cory had a quarrel with his mother for his study and left home in the morning. He had been wandering on the streets for almost a whole day， feeling so depressed and hopeless.
　　It was freezing cold at dusk on such a winter day. And the sky was dark. He was walking down an empty street where there were no passers-by， because people must have been at home for warmth. Cory was walking to a crossroad when suddenly he came across a little boy stuck in the middle of the road alone like him.
　　Cory had meant to turn a blind eye to him at first. But the boy’s situation worried him. He approached the boy， asking，“Hey！ Why are you alone here？ Where is your mother？” “I want to find my mama and papa. Please take me home，” the boy replied， bursting into tears. Cory led him away from the crossroad. Then， he asked worriedly，“How did you come here？ What’s your name？”
　　“I’m Simon. I was playing with my dog. The dog ran away， and I ran after him for a long distance. But when I wanted to go back home， I lost my way，” cried the boy. Feeling pity for the boy， Cory made up his mind to help the boy. He couldn’t have the little boy staying here alone.
　　Attempting to look for his home， Cory took the little boy to different neighborhoods. But things didn’t go that smoothly as he had expected. It was getting darker and darker， and Cory thought he had to help Simon find his home. He knocked on every door， but without luck. Worn out and starving， he realised Simon must be very hungry. He offered him the chocolate he had bought with his rest money. It began to snow and he removed his coat and put it around Simon. Luckily， there was still a bakery store with the door open. He borrowed a phone to call the police station.

（Text 6）
W：Let’s take a coffee break， shall we？

W：I’m not so sure. Shanghai has a lot going for it， but I like Beijing too.

W：Shanghai is the business center of China， so there are lots of jobs， and there’s always something new. It’s more modern than Beijing and generally a convenient place to live.
M：Why would you want to stay in Beijing？
W：For one thing， Beijing has a sense of history. You know， there’s no Great Wall in Shanghai！

W：For another thing， I think people are very friendly in Beijing.
M：Yes， I can’t agree more. People from Beijing are really friendly！
W：But I’ve heard that men from Shanghai will help their wives with housework. That’s the very quality I admire！
（Text 10）
I like to do sports and play video games in my free time. Sometimes， I play video games by myself. I also invite friends over to play. I really like games that deal with sports， role-playing， adventure， but I don’t buy all games since I know that certain types of games are not suitable for children. Playing video games helps me reduce stress and kill some time， but it also can be addictive. A lot of people are concerned that people waste too much time playing games and do not get enough exercise because they sit in front of a computer or TV too much. Also， some people say that children as well as adults tend to shut themselves away and fail to develop relationships with others. I think if you control how much you play them — I mean， not playing them too much — then playing video games isn’t a bad way to spend some of your time.

第四部分
第一節
Dear students，
An earthquake may take place in our lives.Knowing what to do during an earthquake is a matter of life and death.
If you’re indoors， stand against a wall near the center of the building， stand in a doorway， or crawl under heavy furniture， for example， a desk or table.Stay away from windows and outside doors.
If you’re outdoors， stay in the open away from power lines or anything that might fall.Stay away from buildings because stuff might fall off the building or the building could fall on you.
Don’t use elevators during an earthquake because they’ll probably get stuck anyway.
The Students’ Union
第二節
　　After a while， a police car pulled up and Cory waved to it with excitement. Two policemen came out of the police car and Cory couldn’t wait to explain what had happened to Simon. Then， the policemen checked for any missing person’s report without any delay. Meanwhile， they drove the two of them around the nearby neighborhood one by one to search for Simon’s home. Finally， they successfully contacted the little boy’s parents. Cory was more than glad to see Simon’s reunion with his parents.
　　Seeing the reunion of Simon and his parents， Cory was deeply touched. He thought of his own parents， the warm home and his mother’s delicious supper. He thought his parents must have been as worried as Simon’s and they must have been anxiously searching everywhere for their son right now. The more he thought about it， the more guilty he felt for what he had done to his mother. All his anger died away in an instant and he rushed in the direction of his home.

（Text 10）
I like to do sports and play video games in my free time.Sometimes，
I play video games by myself.I also invite friends over to play. I really like
games that deal with sports， role-playing， adventure， but I don’t buy
all games since I know that certain types of games are not suitable for
children.Playing video games helps me reduce stress and kill some time，
but it also can be addictive.A lot of people are concerned that people waste
too much time playing games and do not get enough exercise because they
sit in front of a computer or TV too much.Also， some people say that
children as well as adults tend to shut themselves away and fail to develop
relationships with others.I think if you control how much you play them —
I mean， not playing them too much — then playing video games isn’t a
bad way to spend some of your time.

　　After the Wichita State University men’s basketball team won against
Tarleton State on Tuesday， one player took an unusual victory lap around
the stadium.Dexter Dennis stayed after the game to help staff at Koch
Arena clean.
Dennis helped lead the Shockers to victory， but he didn’t
boast.Instead， the soft-spoken college junior from Louisiana did
something very humble.Video from the court shows him picking up trash in
the stands.No one asked him to do it.
The video was shared on Twitter by Taylor Eldridge， who covers
Wichita State athletics for The Wichita Eagle newspaper.“Dexter is a
different kind of guy，” Eldridge tweeted.The video quickly 　went
viral　， which received more than 1.5 million views and tens of
thousands of likes.
“Wasn’t in trouble or anything.Didn’t have to.He just wanted to help
out the cleaning crew，” Eldridge wrote in another tweet.
Cleanup can take up to three hours after every game， Wichita State
University Facilities Director David Gomez said.The director said seeing a
student athlete staying to help is inspiring.
“We have several folks who have been here for decades and I know
for some of them， that’s probably the first time they’ve seen something
like that happen，” said Gomez.“And I want to say thank you for leading
and showing us that there are still folks out there who recognise the hard
work that’s done around here.”
“It’s crazy that someone who just played the game helps clean up the
stadium，” Wichita State student and golfer Max Wojciechowski told
KWCH.
Dennis declined KWCH’s offer for an interview and has not
responded to CBS News， but did address the viral moment on
Twitter.“Didn’t do it for attention，” Dennis tweeted.
He played for 30 minutes during the game， hitting three of four shots
from the field and also entering the top 10 all time for career three-pointers
in Shocker history， KWCH reports.

　　Hurricane Laura hit Louisiana on Thursday with strong winds and
heavy rains.It’s the strongest hurricane to hit Louisiana in over 150 years，
and has left behind widespread damage.Laura is now weaker， but is still
causing damage as it moves on.
Hurricanes are strong storms with fast， spinning winds that form
over oceans.In a hurricane， the winds spin in a circle toward the center，
which is lower in pressure.As the hurricane moves across the sea， it
collects water into huge spinning clouds.The water is released as rain as the
hurricane hits land.
Experts have been tracking Laura since mid-August.It moved through
the Caribbean as a tropical storm.Tropical storms are like hurricanes， but
with slower winds.Still， the storm was strong enough to kill 25 people as
it moved across Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
As it came closer to the coast of Louisiana on Wednesday， Laura
gathered strength， becoming a Category 4 Hurricane — the second
strongest possible.Over 500，000 people along the coast were told they
needed to leave their homes.
Hurricane Laura made landfall in Cameron， Louisiana early in the
morning on Thursday.With winds blowing at 150 miles per hour （240
kilometers per hour）， it was Louisiana’s strongest hurricane since 1856.
After hitting land， Laura moved slowly north， bringing heavy rains
and flooding， and leaving a path of wrecked homes and buildings
behind.All through the state， trees were knocked down， damaging
houses and taking out power lines.For over nine hours， Laura’s winds
remained at hurricane speeds.Almost no area of Louisiana escaped.
Weather experts had predicted a massive storm surge （風暴潮） up
to 20 feet （6 meters） in height.Luckily， the storm surge was not as
large as predicted， though it still reached heights of up to 10 feet （3
meters）.Over 880，000 people were left without power， and up to
100，000 people have been left without drinking water.At least four people
have died.

　　Our planet’s oceans are warmer than they’ve ever been in recorded
human history.And ocean temperatures are not only increasing， but they
are heating up at an accelerating rate， according to a new analysis.
In 2019， the ocean temperature was about 0.135 degrees Fahrenheit
（0.075 degrees Celsius） higher than the average between 1981 and
2010， an international group of researchers reported on 13 January in the
journal Advances in Atmospheric Sciences.
That means that the ocean — which absorbs almost all of the
greenhouse gases humans send into the atmosphere — has taken in 228
sextillian （228，000，000，000，000，000，000，000） joules of
heat above its average， according to a statement.By comparison， the
energy released by the Hiroshima atom-bomb explosion was about 63，
000，000，000，000 Joules.
“The amount of heat we have put in the world’s oceans in the past 25
years equals to 3.6 billion Hiroshima atom-bomb explosions，” said lead
author Lijing Cheng， associate professor with the International Center for
Climate and Environmental Sciences at the Institute of Atmospheric
Physics （IAP） of the Chinese Academy of Sciences （CAS）.
The oceans can be a good measure of the effect of climate change
since they absorb the majority of excess heat from the atmosphere， the
researchers wrote.The effects of the warming are already appearing as more
extreme weather， rising sea levels and harm to ocean animals，
according to the statement.
Though humans can work to control the effects of climate change，
the oceans — which absorbed more than 90% of the excess heat — will
take longer to recover than the land and atmosphere， which only absorbed
4%.
“Even with that small part affecting the atmosphere and land， the
global heating has led to an increase in great fires in the Amazon，
California and Australia in 2019， and we’re seeing that continue into
2020，” Cheng said.
“Global warming is real， and it’s getting worse，” co-author John
Abraham， professor of thermal sciences at the University of St.Thomas in
Minnesota， said in the statement.“And this is just the tip of the iceberg for
what is to come.”

Climate change， or global warming， is the process of our
planet heating up.Scientists estimate that since the Industrial
Revolution， human activity has caused the Earth to warm by
approximately 1℃. 　36　， it means big things for people and
wildlife around the globe.
Over the past 150 years， industrialised countries have been
burning large amounts of fossil fuels such as oil and gas.The gases
released into the atmosphere during this process act like an invisible
“blanket”， trapping heat from the sun and warming the Earth. 　37　.
In the last 150 years human activity has meant we’re releasing a
huge amount of harmful gases into the Earth’s atmosphere， and
records show that the global temperatures are rising more rapidly.
Climate change is already affecting wildlife all over the world，
but certain species are suffering more than others. 　38　.In fact，
experts believe that the Arctic sea ice is melting at a shocking rate —
9% per decade！ Polar bears need sea ice to be able to hunt， raise
their young and as places to rest after long periods of swimming.
　39　.Most affected are some of the people who grow the food
we eat every day.Farming communities， especially in developing
countries， are facing higher temperatures， increased rain， floods
and droughts.
You can take action by making some small changes in your own
home.Try switching to energy-saving lightbulbs， walking instead of
using the car， turning off electrical items when you’re not using
them， recycling and reducing your food waste. 　40　.You can check
out more eco-friendly ideas， in our top five conservation tips！
A. If we take effective measures
B. Polar animals are particularly at risk
C. While that might not sound like much
D. This is known as the “Greenhouse Effect”
E. It is not just polar animals who are in trouble
F. All these little things can make a big difference
G. Climate change is already having an impact on people， too

Dear students，
An earthquake may take place in our lives.Knowing what to do during
an earthquake is a matter of life and death.
If you’re indoors， stand against a wall near the center of the
building， stand in a doorway， or crawl under heavy furniture， for
example， a desk or table.Stay away from windows and outside doors.
If you’re outdoors， stay in the open away from power lines or
anything that might fall.Stay away from buildings because stuff might fall
off the building or the building could fall on you.
Don’t use elevators during an earthquake because they’ll probably get
stuck anyway.

　　（2024·合肥八校聯考）Cory had a quarrel with his mother for his
study and left home in the morning.He had been wandering on the streets
for almost a whole day， feeling so depressed and hopeless.
　　It was freezing cold at dusk on such a winter day.And the sky was
dark.He was walking down an empty street where there were no passers-
by， because people must have been at home for warmth.Cory was
walking to a crossroad when suddenly he came across a little boy stuck in
the middle of the road alone like him.
　　Cory had meant to turn a blind eye to him at first.But the boy’s
situation worried him.He approached the boy， asking，“Hey！ Why are
you alone here？ Where is your mother？” “I want to find my mama and
papa.Please take me home，” the boy replied， bursting into tears.Cory
led him away from the crossroad.Then， he asked worriedly，“How did
you come here？ What’s your name？”
　　“I’m Simon.I was playing with my dog.The dog ran away， and I ran
after him for a long distance.But when I wanted to go back home， I lost
my way，” cried the boy.Feeling pity for the boy， Cory made up his
mind to help the boy.He couldn’t have the little boy staying here alone.
　　Attempting to look for his home， Cory took the little boy to different
neighborhoods.But things didn’t go that smoothly as he had expected.It was
getting darker and darker， and Cory thought he had to help Simon find his
home.He knocked on every door， but without luck.Worn out and
starving， he realised Simon must be very hungry.He offered him the
chocolate he had bought with his rest money.It began to snow and he
removed his coat and put it around Simon.Luckily， there was still a
bakery store with the door open.He borrowed a phone to call the police
station.
注意：1.續寫詞數應為150左右；

參考范文：
　　After a while， a police car pulled up and Cory waved to it with
excitement.Two policemen came out of the police car and Cory couldn’t
wait to explain what had happened to Simon.Then， the policemen
checked for any missing person’s report without any delay.Meanwhile，
they drove the two of them around the nearby neighborhood one by one to
search for Simon’s home.Finally， they successfully contacted the little
boy’s parents.Cory was more than glad to see Simon’s reunion with his
parents.
　　Seeing the reunion of Simon and his parents， Cory was deeply
touched.He thought of his own parents， the warm home and his mother’s
delicious supper.He thought his parents must have been as worried as
Simon’s and they must have been anxiously searching everywhere for their
son right now.The more he thought about it， the more guilty he felt for
what he had done to his mother.All his anger died away in an instant and he
rushed in the direction of his home.
