People’s life in astrology, the zodiac is divided into twelve star signs. Each star sign has its own characteristics. People gave each star sign one of the four elements ( 元 素 ) of fire, air, earth and water. It has been popular for a long time. There are three star signs under each element, just as the following form shows.
Elements Star Signs
Fire Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Earth Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Air Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Water Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
In both China and Greece, people began to study stars and planets thousands of years ago. They used astrology to help them make decisions. They watched stars and planets to decide when to hunt, fish, plant or make wars.
Today astrology is very popular among people all over the world, especially teenagers. But one thing you have to remember is that you should not expect astrology to tell you everything about your future. Remember your life is in your own hands.
How many star signs are there under each element
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Twelve.
What did people use astrology to do in ancient times
A. To study the four elements. B. To help them make decisions.
C. To get information about the sky. D. To know more about the future.
3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage

The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. In China, the 24 solar terms were created thousands of years ago to guide agricultural production.
Rain Water stands for the increase in rainfall and rise in temperature. With its arrival, lively spring—like scenery starts: the river water melt, wild geese fly from south to north, and trees and grass turn green again.
Here are four things you may not know about Rain Water.
Rain in spring is as precious as oil.
According to an old Chinese saying, the rainfall in spring is as precious as oil. In northern China the spring drought is common and the rain of this season is only 10 to 15 percent of yearly average(平均) rainfall.
Return of a cold period
Extra care is needed to deal with a returning cold time in the late spring that often happens during Rain Water. The fast increase in air humidity(湿度) can result in lower temperature and wet weather.
Visit to in-laws(姻亲)
One of the main customs during Rain Water is sons-in-law visiting their in-laws and giving gifts. According to the tradition, gifts are usually two cane chairs with four meters of red belt which represents good health and long life. Another typical gift is a pot of cooked dish that contains pig’s knuckles(蹄) with soya and kelp. The son-in-law expresses his respect and thankfulness this way.
Nutritious porridge
The wet and damp weather during Rain Water is considered harmful to people’s health according to Chinese medical practice. So a bowl of nutritious porridge is the best choice to keep the body alive and healthy.
4. When Rain Water arrives, what happens
① The temperature begins to rise.
② The river freezes up.
③ Birds fly to the south in small groups.
④Trees are green in color.
A. ①② B. ②③ C. ①④ D. ③④
5. We can infer that Rain Water is a key period for________.
A. building houses in the countryside
B. providing land or crops with water
C. keeping sheep, horses, hens and other animals
D. spending all days on farming
6. During Rain Water, it is strongly advised the elderly and children________.
A. not to take off thick clothes too early
B. not to stay up late all night
C. to exercise more
D. to protect them from the heat
7. During Rain Water, what gifts do sons-in-law often give their in-laws
A. Some food, two cane chairs and desks.
B. Chairs, pigs, soya and kelp.
C. Delicious dish, four can chairs with two meters of red belt.
D. Two chairs and a pot of cooked dish.
C
Back in Brisbane, Australia, for the Christmas break, I found myself in a public transport dead zone. Bikeless, 7 kilometers from where I was meeting friends and unwilling to get a taxi, I decided to borrow an electric scooter. The trip took far longer than it would have by bike, mainly because of a major spill halfway there. A rock, hit at speed, is a terrible thing: weeks later, I still had the red knees of a primary schooler.
In the UK, they are legal (合法的) only on private land, but the Department for Transport is discussing how to control them on public roads and pathways, with the possibility for legalization later this year. Other cities that have e-scooter rental programs have had problems in the early period. In Paris, Mayor Anne Hidalgo described the situation last year as messy. She has announced that the city is reducing its number of e-scooters to 15,000 and plans to create laws forbidding them from pavements (人行道). France has put into force laws limiting e-scooter speeds to 25 kilometres per hour.
Similar to dockless (无桩的) hire bicycles, e-scooters are parked on pavements and people leave them up trees or throw them into rivers. Wild treatment shortens their lifetime, which is bad for both profitability (盈利) and the environment. Analysis suggests that the average e-scooter’s lifetime is just three months.
I think e-scooters are an basic part of the effort to make city transport greener. They are seen as a key to the “last mile” problem—a potential way to reduce transport jam by rapidly getting someone to their final goal. Cars can take up 28 times the space of a person riding a bicycle. As far as the environmental effect goes, recent research suggests that e-scooters are not as green as walking or cycling, but they are still better than cars. And though there are still many reports of serious accidents, scooting is about as safe as cycling. Stephen Gossling at Lund University in Sweden has suggested we build car-free “micromobility” streets, where cyclists, pedestrians (行人) and e-scooters could share the road. He thinks this will reduce accident risks and invite more vulnerable (易受伤害的) traffic participants, such as children, to become active transport users. If more e-scooters mean fewer cars on roads, an improvement in local air quality is also a likely result. When 20 kilometers of roads in central London closed for World Car-Free Day last September, the air quality was greatly improved according to the report.
8．What does the underlined part “a major spill” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A．A serious fall. B．A sudden illness.
C．A legal reaction. D．A terrible breakdown.
9．What do we know about e-scooters in Paris
A．They are illegal on pavements. B．They are already out of fashion.
C．They are facing more limits. D．They are more common on private land.
10．What is the writer’s opinion of e-scooters
A．They are not as safe as cycling.
B．They always cause the traffic jams.
C．They are as green as cycling or walking.
D．They play a big role in the “last mile” problem.
11．What is Stephen Gossling’s suggestion
A．To set up more care-free days.
B．To invite more cyclists to use e-scooters.
C．To get vulnerable pedestrians off the road.
D．To separate cars from e-scooters on the road.
D
It was a week before I saw Captain Nemo again. Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had surfaced. I would go out and see the sunrise.
Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to escape. When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so interested in Crespo Island. “I thought you preferred the sea to being on land.”
“I do,” replied the Captain, “But these forests are under the sea.” During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits that used special air tanks. These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. He had also made lights that worked in electric batteries. When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all.
Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We stepped into a room and closed the door. The room was filled with water, and another door opened. We must go through it, and we were on the sea floor. It was an amazing experience.
We were about ten metres under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colours of the shells, fish and seaweed. Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area. We were going deeper and deeper. Two hours later, we were a hundred metres under the water. The suits worked very well, and it was easy to walk and breathe.
At one hundred metres deep, we could still see quite well, and Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” in the forest were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical (垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small shrub (灌木) grew under the large seaweed trees. Some of them had flowers.
We walked through this forest for about an hour, and then we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but I was very sleepy. We all slept, and when we woke up, we walked further.

七、阅读与回答问题(本题共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分)
请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。
The United Nations announced on April 19 that India is going to become the most populous (人口稠密的) country in the world by the end of June. In 2022, India had more than 1.412 billion people, which was very close to China’s population of 1.426 billion people. India’s population is expected to grow to almost 1.43 billion by the middle of the year, surpassing China’s.
One of the main reasons for this rapid growth is that many babies are born in India every year, more than in any other country, Time magazine noted.
Having a big population can be good for the economy (经济) because more people can work and earn (赚钱) money, which can lead to economic growth, the Associated Press noted. More companies from other countries and regions may come to India because of this.
However, having a big population can also be challenging because there might not be enough resources (资源) like food, healthcare and education for everyone.
CNN stated that it could also be hard for people to find jobs because so many people are looking for work. According to a 2021 report from the World Bank, India’s labor force participation rate (劳动力参与率), which is the proportion (比例) of the active labor force in the working-age population, is 46 percent – the lowest in Asia.
Despite these challenges, India is still a country with many opportunities for growth. Many companies are choosing to set up factories in India to make things like mobile phones and semiconductors (半导体). Morgan Stanley, the investment bank, said that India will have unprecedented (前所未有的) economic growth and become the world’s third-biggest economy by 2027.
1. How big will the India’s population be by the middle of this year
2. Why is India’s population increasing quickly
3. What is the labor force participation rate
4. What is Morgan Stanley’s prediction about India’s future economy
5. What do you think of the large population in India

How to spend our time properly
Where has our time gone How should we spend our time properly
As students, it is important for us to study, so we should make a plan for every day. Most of all, we should listen carefully in class. For homework, we need to make a list and work out how much time we need, and then finish them one by one.
Hobbies are also important in our lives and different students have different kinds of hobbies. They can make us feel happy and confident. But we don’t need to spend so much time on them. So we should achieve a balance between our study and our hobbies.
In other ways, we need time, too. For example, we often spend a lot of time talking with our friends at lunchtime and watching TV at the weekends.
If so, I’m sure we will live a happier school life.
