Ⅱ. 完形填空(共 10 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 20 分)
If you love reading books, you must know about the book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. The book is quite interesting and popular among kids. Even if I am an adult now, the book is 6 one of my favourites. After re-reading the book recently, I have 7 an important lesson from Tom Sawyer.
In our daily lives, we are often given some boring or tiring 8. What's in your mind when your mother 9 you to do some chores? Have you ever wanted to complain(抱怨)? I think most people have.
Tom Sawyer, however, had a different thought when he was given a boring task. One day, Aunt Polly told Tom to 10 the gate. Tom was doing his job when his friend Ben Rogers happened to pass by. Instead of complaining, Tom told Ben that he felt “11” about the task. “Only one in a thousand—maybe even two thousand—boys can do this!” Tom said.
Tom's words made Ben interested in the task. He even gave Tom his apple so that he could have a 12 to paint the gate. If Tom had thought about 13 but complaining, he would have had a bad day painting the gate.
This story teaches me a valuable lesson: Complaining is 14. Next time you are given a boring or tiring task, don't complain. Unlike what happens in the story of Tom Sawyer, it is unlikely that someone will come and do the work for you. So, don't complain, 15 you'll feel better and perhaps even do a better job!

Ⅲ. 阅读理解(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)
Tallamy teaches at the University of Delaware. His new book Nature's Best Hope: How You Can Save the World in Your Own Yard(院子) came out in 2023 before World Earth Day. In the book, he encourages home gardeners to pull together and create a “home-grown national park” that is friendly to insects(昆虫). He hopes the book will carry the message into classrooms around the country.
“The idea is that kids are the future owner of our planet,” he said in an interview. “I get calls from kids all the time, and this is what you can do and actually see results.”
“Little things can make a big difference. You don't have to worry about the entire planet. Just do something about the little piece of the planet. That's really encouraging for parents as well as kids,” he said.
The book starts by asking readers to take a few minutes to look closely at their yards. “Did you see an animal—a bird, an insect or a snake—fly or go by?” he asks. “You're right. You don't. But you should.”
“Nature is everywhere. That's a good thing because human beings(人类) like you and me wouldn't last a day without it,” Tallamy writes. “That's what this book is about—how to create a yard that is a real part of the natural world. In the kind of yard, if you look closely, you can find there is something moving.”
()16. Tallamy's new book is to ______.
A. care about the future of kids
B. teach something about insects
C. help kids with their schoolwork
D. encourage people to save the world in their own yard
()17. The underlined word “entire” in Paragraph 3 means “______”.
A. whole
B. rest
C. crowded
D. natural
()18. How does Tallamy start his book?
A. By listing numbers.
B. By comparing facts.
C. By raising a question.
D. By giving an example.
()19. What does Tallamy suggest in the last paragraph?
A. We should find beauty in nature.
B. We should check our yards carefully.
C. We should get on well with nature.
D. We should take good care of our yards.
()20. What is the best title of the passage?
A. A teacher uses his book to help kids
B. A book teaches how to design your yard
C. A teacher calls for more national parks
D. A book invites kids to turn yards into natural world
