The tiger often attacked the village and killed many people. One day it took a pig in the mountains, and then a sheep the next day. The villagers said, “We need to visit Laozi to get rid of the bad tiger.” When Laozi agreed to help them, he asked for a small goat.
“I said nothing about killing the tiger. I just need a small goat,” Laozi explained. A man named Wang brought Laozi a little goat. That evening, they put the goat in the tiger’s cave. The tiger was not there, and soon the little animal curled up and went to sleep.
Laozi and Wang hid themselves and waited. The tiger returned and saw the sleeping goat. The tiger watched it for a while. Then, the tiger began to lick the little goat just like a mother cat washing her kitten. The goat woke up, and the two animals began to play together, happily running and jumping. Finally, they lay down together to sleep. Laozi and Wang quietly returned to the village.
The next day, a woman rushed into the village with her baby in her arms. “A huge snake tried to attack my baby, but the tiger drove it away. It was half man and half tiger!”, she cried.
The day after, a stranger walked into the village. He was holding the little goat. “The tiger that hurt you is gone, ”he said. “I was the tiger. I have transformed.” The villagers cheered, and Laozi smiled.

When nature meets man-made roads, it’s seldom a good thing. Millions of animals get killed by cars every week. So, engineers tried to build green bridges for animals over busy roads. These bridges help keep animals and people safe.
The idea of green bridges isn’t really new. In fact, the first animal crossing appeared in France in the 1950s. As well as Germany, which has made more than 80 green bridges since 2005, Canada and the United States are also trying to protect native wildlife by building animal bridges over the years.
Although there are various designs, most green bridges share something similar. First, they are usually quite wide, giving animals plenty of room to move. Second, they are usually covered with soil and plants to look like the forests that lie on either side of the roads. Lastly, they are wider at the ends, spreading out where they meet the land. This helps gather animals onto the bridge and guide them out when they leave.
People may wonder ________. In Canada’s Banff National Park, 11 kinds of large animals such as bears, elk and cougar s have already gone across these green bridges more than 200,000 times since 1996. In some places, we’ve also seen a 90% drop in accidents between animals and cars where these bridges have been built.
These crossings are clearly a step in the right way to offer living chances and safety to wild animals. And with these bridges, both animal and human deaths on roads will continue to go down.
22.Where was the first green bridge built
A. In America. B. In Canada. C. In France. D. In Germany.
23.Which picture can show the design of most green bridges according to the passage
A. B. C. D.
24.Which can be the best to fill in the blank ________ in Paragraph 4
A. if these green bridges really work
B. if Canada built the best green bridges
C. if it is easy to walk across green bridges
D. if there will be new designs for green bridges
25.What is the best title for this passage
A. Green Bridges: Helpful Ways to Save Plants
B. Green Bridges: A New Home for Wild Animals
C. Green Bridges: Safe Crossings to Protect Wildlife
D. Green Bridges: A Creative Road System for Busy Traffic

27.It can be fun to hear a catchy tune in your head—until that tune begins to play over and over again!
Songs that get stuck in our brain are known as earworms. An earworm can get lodged in your head after you listen to just a few lines of a song. It can also pop up after you see something linked to a memory of the song—like passing the place where you first heard it.
Scientists have studied earworms for years. They’ve learned that some tunes stick in your brain more than others. For instance, earworms tend to be fast. They have an easy-to-remember melody. And they have unique changes in pitch.
By examining brain scans, scientists have also formed an idea about what happens in your head when you have an earworm. When you hear music or even imagine hearing music, part of the brain called the auditory cortex activates. This region is in charge of processing sounds. It sends signals to other parts of the brain linked to memory and emotion. Some scientists think your brain can get temporarily stuck sending these signals. And this leads to a song playing in your head on repeat.
What would cause the human brain to repeat the same song in the first place This is still a mystery. But long ago, before people used writing to communicate, we passed along information through song. So, we may have developed ways to keep music in our heads in order to remember valuable information.
Whatever the reason, when a tune gets stuck in your head, there are ways to get rid of an earworm. You can listen to another song or do a puzzle to distract your mind. Or try chewing gum, which interferes with the way your brain forms memories of music. Even if you do nothing, a stuck song will eventually go away on its own. Now, that must be music to your ears!
Read and answer the following questions.
(1) What is most people’s feeling towards an earworm at first
A. Favorable B. Hateful C. Mild D. Disappointed
(2) When are you most likely to have an earworm
A. When you join the chorus
B. Before you go to sleep
C. After you return from a very noisy party
D. When you get stuck by a familiar song
(3) According to the scientists, what has led to the earworms
A. Easy-to-remember melody B. Signals sent to the brain
C. Memories and emotions D. Signals got stuck in brain
(4) Which of the following statements is True
A. Scientists have understood the reasons why we have earworms.
B. Few people can have earworms as it is very rare in our daily life.
C. There is nothing that we can do to get rid of the earworms.
D. There is certain evolutionary need for us to have earworms.
(5) The passage is written to _.
A. disclose a mystery
B. entertain the readers
C. promote scientific research
D. explain a phenomenon
Try to use the words in the text to fill in the blanks.
(6) As we all know, it is of key importance for us not to disturb him while he is totally occupied with his work.
(7) The wound for the soldiers was healed while the pain remained forever.
(8) It to me that I have left a lot of my homework undone.
(9) The music to our ears must be and pleasant.
(10) All of our movements are, to some extent, determined by sent to our brains.

31.【答案】Dear Amy and your parents,
I’m glad to hear that you are planning to visit China next year and experience our traditional festivals. I strongly recommend the Spring Festival, which usually falls in January or February.
We celebrate it by having a big family dinner on New Year’s Eve, watching colorful shows on TV and giving red envelopes to children. This festival is very meaningful because it symbolizes family reunion, good luck, and a fresh start. You can also see vibrant lion and dragon dances on the streets. I believe you will love the joyful atmosphere and learn more about Chinese culture.
I hope you can come and enjoy it with us!
Yours,
Li Hua
