Max Parsons is a big fan of Arsenal Football Club. He says that Arsenal is like family to him. However,
because of his deafness, he often felt left out. Luckily, things have improved since early 2023. The club now has a
British Sign Language interpreter (翻译) to tell deaf fans like him what’s happening and help them enjoy the
games.
Arsenal is the first Premier League club to do so. This creative act is a game-changer for Arsenal’s deaf fans.
Parsons first saw the interpreter during a game in January 2023. “I was like: Is that real?” he said. “I was so
surprised that I couldn’t say anything. It really had a massive impact on me and other deaf fans. It made us feel
more connected to the game because we knew what was going on. We were very happy.”
This happiness didn’t just impact Arsenal’s deaf fans. Parsons said that when the non-deaf people around him
saw the interpreter, they were eager to find out what was going on and share the happiness. They thought it was
fantastic, and some even started to learn and practice sign language. It was nice to see that.
Arsenal’s kind act has won high praise from the public. Some people’s lives are in a mess due to their physical
disabilities, but care and love let them see a way out. Now, which club is the next?
24. What do we know about Max Parsons from Paragraph 1?
A. He likes football. B. He has a big family.
C. He is a player of Arsenal. D. He wants to be an interpreter.

It is common that spiders use their webs to catch insects. However, some spiders have developed other uses
for their webs. One such spider is the European water spider, which uses its web to breathe underwater.
The European water spider spends most of its life underwater. It cares for its young, and feeds on insects
below the water’s surface. Since it needs to breathe, the spider carefully keeps the air inside its web. This is what
allows it to stay underwater for a long time.
The web is shaped like a balloon with a hole in the bottom (底部). This “balloon” keeps the air inside and
allows the spider to get in and out through the bottom to catch nearby insects. In fact, the water spider’s web works
much the same as a diving bell, an early kind of submarine (潜水艇). Diving bells were large bells supplied (提供)
with air from a hose running to the water’s surface. The air kept the water from filling up the bell, and people could
go in and out through the open bottom. Because of this similarity, water spiders are sometimes known as “diving

bell spiders”.
Although the web allows water spiders to stay underwater for a long time, some trips to the surface are
necessary. When the web needs more fresh air, the spider pushes the web and lets the old air go out. Then, it swims
to the surface to collect small fresh air bubbles and keeps them in the hairs on its stomach and legs. Finally, it goes
back down to refill the web.
27. What can we know about the European water spider from the passage?
A. It spends most of its life in the trees. B. It uses its legs to breathe underwater.
C. It keeps small fresh air bubbles in its stomach. D. It catches insects through the bottom of the web.
28. Why does the writer mention diving bells?
A. To tell how water spiders’ webs work. B. To introduce what submarines are made of.
C. To show what water spiders do underwater. D. To explain why diving bells are no longer used.
29. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. A special spider web. B. Different kinds of spiders.
C. Great inventions of nature. D. The wonderful underwater world.

In 1901, Karl Landsteiner, an Austrian scientist, discovered that there are four types of blood. These four blood
types were named A, B, AB and O. People have one of these four types. Blood type O is the most common around

the world. Blood type A is the second most common, and type AB is the least common. If people with type A blood
are given type B blood, or people with type B blood are given type A blood, they will probably die.
In 1927, a Japanese doctor, Furukawa Takeji, carried out research and came up with the idea that people with
different blood types also had different personalities. He said that people with type A blood are usually calm and
serious; people with type B blood are curious, cheerful, and outgoing; people with type O blood are generous and
honest; while those with type AB blood are often caring, original and careful.
More recently, a doctor in the United States wrote a book that links blood types and what people eat. For
example, his book suggests people with type O blood should eat more meat and less bread. A diet for people with
type A blood includes more vegetables. His book, Eat Right for Your Type, sold one million copies every year, has
been a hit with people who want to lose weight. However, Dr. Peter D’Adamo believes that eating food that
matches a person’s blood type can do more than help them lose weight. He thinks it will make the person healthier
in other ways, too.
30. The word “hit” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
A. break B. success C. tradition D. record
31. What can we know from the passage?
A. Blood type A is the most common around the world.
B. People with type AB blood are curious and outgoing.
C. Furukawa Takeji wrote the book, Eat Right for Your Type.
D. People with different blood types might have different personalities.
【答案】30. B 31. D

书在想要减肥的人中间大受欢迎，很成功。所以“hit”的意思是“成功的”，故选B。

Foraging is a lot like a treasure hunt. You look around in places like forests and lakes to find different kinds of
plants that you can eat. Foraging is a lot of fun! When you walk in the woods, you can find many kinds of plants.
Some of these plants are dangerous. Some of them are good to eat. You can spend many relaxing hours walking
around in the wild looking for good plants to eat.
While foraging is a lot of fun, you still have to be careful. It is exciting and challenging to find plants that you
can eat, but do not eat them until you are very sure of what they are. Before you go foraging, take a class about it.
Learn the look of plants you can eat in the wild. Practice finding them with your foraging teacher. Then join a
group of foragers. Look for plants together. Never eat anything until you are sure of what it is. Some people have
become sick by accident because they ate a wild plant that was dangerous.
Foragers follow some important rules. They do not gather all of the plants in one area. If you take all the plants
from one area, no more will grow there. Do not look for wild plants in areas where there are a lot of cars, like by a
road or parking lot. If the area is very dirty, the plants there will not be good to eat and may make you very sick.
32. What can we know from the passage?
A. We should walk in the mountains before foraging.
B. We should be sure of what a plant is before we eat it.
C. Looking for good plants by the lake can be dangerous.
D. Eating plants beside the road can help us forage easier.

四、阅读表达（第34-36题每题1分，第37题2分，共5分）
阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
The Oldest Encyclopedia (百科全书) in the World
These days, when we want to find out about a subject, we go to the Internet. But what did people do before the
Internet? They looked in an encyclopedia. Many homes had a set of encyclopedias. People could find information
on any subject in these books. They had beautiful pictures and photographs and people could look through them for
hours and hours.
The oldest and most famous encyclopedia is Encyclopedia Britannica. It was first published (出版) in 1768
in Edinburgh, Scotland. The first encyclopedia had three parts, or volumes. The last one was published in 2012 and
had 32 volumes. People can still read Encyclopedia Britannica, but only on the Internet.
Colin Macfarquhar and Andrew Bell published the encyclopedias and William Smellie was the editor. William
Smellie’s job was to take the works of experts and edit them for the encyclopedia. If he couldn’t find any writing on
a subject, he wrote it himself. By 1797, experts were invited to write for the encyclopedia. Robert Louis Stevenson,
Albert Einstein, and John F. Kennedy were some of the famous people who wrote for Encyclopedia Britannica.
In the 1920s, Encyclopedia Britannica moved to the USA. The encyclopedias were sold by door-to-door
salesmen. By the 1930s there were more than 2,000 salesmen travelling across the USA selling the books. They
became very popular. Everyone wanted to have a set of Encyclopedia Britannica on their bookshelves. To buy the
set was not cheap, but people could pay for them in instalments (分期付款).
In 2012, Jorge Cauz of Encyclopedia Britannica told the world that they were going to stop selling the
encyclopedias as books. Everything would be on the Internet. Some people were sad about it. They remembered
their parents buying the encyclopedias from a well-dressed salesman. Others weren’t so sad. They remembered
their parents paying a lot of money for a large set of books which were opened only once or twice a year.
34. How did people find information before the Internet?
