Many people believe that paper started with the ancient Egyptians. However, this is not exactly true. Instead, 5,000 years ago, Egyptians used a material called papyrus, which was made from the stems (茎) of river plants. They put these flat pieces together to create a larger flat sheet (薄片), on which Ancient Egyptians wrote like paper.
But the paper we know today did not exist until 3,000 years later. It was created in China. No one knows who first invented paper. But history does tell us about one man who improved the process. It was in the year 105. A man named Cai Lun began to use many materials to make paper. He took the outer covering of a tree, pieces of net and cloth, broke these materials down into very small pieces and mixed them with water. Then he pressed out the water, and all that was left was a thin sheet of paper.
Paper quickly spread to other areas of the world. In the Middle East, people made paper thicker and also made it easier to produce quickly. From the Middle East, paper travelled to Europe and then the Americas. For many years paper cost a lot of money and time to create. But in the 19th century, people began to create paper from wood.
Paper changed the way people lived. Long ago, when paper was difficult to make, people only used paper for special purposes. Government officials would write important laws on it. Explorers drew maps of the world on it. But common people did not use it. As paper became easier to make, it was used for more things. People wrapped (包裹) it around gifts. Paper was also used as money. Today people use paper for even more things.
4. According to the text, papyrus _____.
A. was made from cloth
B. has a longer history than paper
C. is difficult to produce
D. was introduced to Egypt from China
5. Paragraph 2 is mainly about _____.
A. how Cai Lun improved paper
B. the long history of paper in China
C. why Cai Lun wanted to make paper
D. the invention of the first piece of paper
6. What’s the spreading route of paper
A. Asia → the Americas → Europe → the Middle East
B. Asia → Europe → the Middle East → the Americas
C. Asia → the Middle East → Europe → the Americas
D. Asia → the Middle East → the Americas → Europe
7. When it was first invented, paper _____.
A. could only be used by government officials
B. was expensive and difficult to make
C. was sent to others as a gift
D. was too thick to write on

When the pandemic(流行病) hit last spring, 9-year-old Zoe Benard of California started baking(烘) sweet treats with family members. But what started out as a fun way to pass the time has become a one-girl mission to raise $10,000 for Parkinson’s disease research.
Through a series of weekend bake sales since July, the homeschooled fourth-grader has taken in nearly $3,500 through the sale of her homemade banana bread, cookies and brownies. For a weekend sale, she’ll bake up to 25 pieces, four to five pans of brownies and three batches（炉） of cookies.
One hundred percent of the money made by selling treats is given to Team Fox, a research organization set up by actor Michael J.Fox, who has the disease. Zoe’s grandfather, 75-year-old Joe Contogenis，who is the inspiration for her sales, also has Parkinson’s. Contogenis can no longer run or play tennis the way he did before his diagnosis(诊断) three years ago.But he comes to every one of Zoe’s bake sales and is often moved to tears by the generosity of Zoe’s customers.
“She is a little entrepreneur(企业家) and has always been an out-of-the-box thinker,” Christine Eris, her mom, said. “we were cleaning our house out and found a magic set, and now she’s reading books on magic. She taught herself how to solve the Rubik’s Cube in a minute and a half. She just learns and practices things until she perfects them.”
Zoe sells her treats for $1 to $2, or $12 for a full piece of banana bread. Eris said many customers give more because they know it’s for a good cause. One customer arrived with a $200 check and another with a $100 bill.Zoe said her goal is to keep hosting sales until she reaches her $10,000 goal. Then she will either start over or find another cause to support. She also plans to start her own children’s cooking channel on YouTube because she finds the process of baking so fun.
8. What encouraged Zoe to host bake sales
A.Her grandfather suffering from Parkinson’s.
B.The support of a research organization.

D.The kindness of strangers.
9. What did Eris think of Zoe in paragraph 4
A.She has improved her creativity by practicing magic.
B.She has loved to cook since she was a kid.
C.She cares for everyone around her.
D.She is good at learning
10. What is Zoe’s goal for now
A.To teach people with Parkinson’s to cook.
B.To look for a long-term partnership.
C.To collect money by hosting sales.
D.To enjoy free time with her family.
11. Which of the following can best describe Zoe
A.Strict and patient B.Helpful and caring
C.Humorous and fearless. D.Warm-hearted and honest

I was reading these interesting stories behind a group of great logos in the world. Personally Nike is my favorite one – it’s so simple. And I liked the stories behind them, which made me forget all other things. McDonald’s, Apple, Mercedes Benz and Adidas own great logos as well, and they are among my favorites.
Nike
In the Greek myth, Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration for soldiers. This logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess. Nike’s logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for $ 35, and was registered as a trademark in 1995.
McDonald’s
The logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler to resemble the archshaped(拱形的) signs on the side of the company’s then walk-up hamburger stand. Later on, the two golden arches were combined together to form the M. The McDonald’s name was added to the logo in 1968.
Apple
There are different stories behind Apple’s logo. The first logo was a reference to the religious story of Adam and Eve, in which the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. One year later, the second logo was designed in 1977 by Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne, and it described Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. This logo didn’t stay long. One year later it was replaced almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoff’s “rainbow apple”, a rainbow-colored silhouette(轮廓)of an apple with a bite taken out of it. And then the rainbow-colored apple was replaced by the one-colored logo in 1998. It has not been changed so far.
Mercedes Benz
The Mercedes Benz logo, which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler in 1909, consists of a simple description of a three-pointed star that represents its rule of the land, the sea and the air. The company was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Mercedes is the name of Maybach’s elder daughter, while Benz came as a result of a combination with Benz, Cie and DMG in 1926.
Adidas
The Adidas logo, which was created by the founder of the company Adi Dassler, represents mountains, pointing towards the challenges that are seen ahead and goals that can be achieved. The logo was used for the first time in 1967.
12. What does Nike’s logo stand for
A. The goddess of victory.
B. The source of inspiration for soldiers.
C. The statue of the Greek goddess.
D. The wing of the Greek goddess.
13. We can learn that Apple’s present logo is ______.
A. the religious story of Adam and Eve
B. a bitten apple with only one color
C. Newton’s sitting under an apple tree
D. the rainbow-colored bitten apple
14. ______ stands for the rule of the land, the sea and the air.
A. Nike’s logo B. Apple’s logo
C. The Mercedes logo D. The Adidas logo
15.Which of the following time orders describes the births of the great logos
A．Mercedes Benz – McDonald’s – Nike – Apple.
B．Nike – McDonald’s – Apple – Mercedes Benz.
C．Mercedes Benz – Apple – Nike –McDonald’s.
D．Nike –Mercedes Benz –McDonald’s – Apple,

作文
There are many scientists who have driven social development.Among them,the one I admire most is Yuan Longping, an outstanding agricultural scientist known as the “Father of Hybrid Rice”.
A few decades ago,the lack of food was one of the main problems threatening Chinese people.After years of study,Yuan Longping successfully developed the world’s first hybrid rice,which dramatically increased rice production.His approach to rice breeding also serves as a solution to food problems around the globe.
Three is no doubt that his contribution is of great significance.His story gives me inspiration and motivates me to love science,and I would like to make contributions to it in the future.
