Dorothy and her friends the Scarecrow (稻草人), the Tinman (铁皮人) were walking through the forest with Toto. Suddenly, a great Lion came running at them from the trees. With one blow of his paw, he turned the Scarecrow over and over to the edge of the road, and then he struck at the Tinman with his sharp claws. But, to the Lion's surprise, he could make no impression on the tin, although the Tinman fell over in the road and lay still. Then little Toto ran up to the Lion and started barking. The Lion was going to hit him too, but Dorothy came between him and the dog, shouting:
“Don’t you dare to bite Toto! A big animal like you is going to bite this poor little dog You are nothing but a coward (胆小鬼)!”
The Lion’s face suddenly changed from mad to sad.
“I know it," said the Lion, hanging his head in shame. “I’ve always known it. But how can I help it ” he sighed.
“Look at what you did to Scarecrow!” said Dorothy. She picked up the Scarecrow and set him upon his feet, while she put him into shape again.
“I’m terribly sorry, Scarecrow,” said the Lion. “You seemed so scary that I had to try and make you run away. Usually, when people and animals see me, they run, but you didn’t.”
“Why are you so scared of us ” asked Dorothy. “You’re a lion! Lions are the kings of the forests.”
“I can’t help being scared. Whenever there is danger, my heart beats fast.”
“Well,” said the Tinman, “maybe you can join us. I have no heart and Scarecrow has no brain. Dorothy and the little dog are dying to go home, very far away. We are going to find the Wizard of Oz for help. Why not come with us and ask him for courage ”
“But I am scared to go!” said the Lion.
“Everything will be fine,” comforted Dorothy. “There’s nothing to fear when we are all together. We’ll all become better.”

Rainforests provide much of the world’s oxygen. People have been trying to protect them for years. But another type of forest, the cloud forest, is just as important to humans.
These forests are at the tops of mountains, generally near the equator (赤道). These wet, wooded mountaintops are mainly in African and Central and South American countries. They are called “cloud forests” because their height allows for the formation of clouds among the trees. The trees in these forests pull water out of the clouds. The water gathers on the leaves and falls into small rivers below, which flow into towns at the bottom of the mountain. The yearly rainfall in these areas is about 180 centimetres. Cloud forests can pull in up to 60 percent of that. The water is important to the plants and the people in the area. It helps them survive.
Cloud forests are also home to countless species of plants that can’t be found anywhere else. One small cloud forest has as many types of plants as there are in all of Europe. In fact, there are so many that scientists haven’t made a complete list of them yet.
These forests are being destroyed at increasing speed. Trees are being cut down, and roads are being built in their place. Some people have a goal to get government money to protect the forests. But they have had little success so far. Another way is to take the place of the destroyed plants with new ones. That, too, has been difficult because the plants are so special. There’s plenty of work to be done, but saving the cloud forests is still possible with creative solutions.
21. Where can you probably find cloud forests
A. In North America.
B. Far from the equator.
C. In an African country.
D. At the foot of mountains.
22. How much rainfall is pulled in by the cloud forests in those areas every year

B. About 108 cm.
C. About 180 cm.
D. About 300 cm.

B. Scientists are working on a list.
C. Cloud forests are getting smaller.
D. Cloud forests house many plants.

A. In a storybook.
B. In a travel guide.
C. In a chemistry textbook.
D. In a geography magazine.

Colourful felt (毛毡) flowers have been “planted” at different street corners throughout Guangzhou by young local sculptor (雕塑家) Luo Shengtian. Starting as a graduation project in April, his efforts have now become a group activity in both China and Europe.
Luo said he always wanted to repair the city’s “scars”, such as damaged walls or stone stairs by art. Luo mentioned that these colourful felt plants are like a “beautiful warning” to people as they walk by, reminding them to be aware of these damaged street corners.
Within one month, Luo “planted” more than 20 flowers in his community. These flowers attracted more than 300 volunteers to join a WeChat group to spread the repair tasks to other places such as Beijing and Fuzhou. “The meaning of the project is to bring art into people’s everyday lives. Sculptures or other works of fine arts are no longer just an idea in the air,” Luo noted. Following the increase of volunteers, it even spread to European cities such as Venice, and Paris.
Luo shared an interesting story in Venice, where one of his fans “planted” a felt flower to see how people would respond to the project. The flower was picked up by someone only a day after it appeared in public, but later three new ones were “planted” by a mysterious person overnight. “I was touched by that. Such an artistic focus on our living environment seems to be shared by global creators,” Luo said.
Luo is not the only young creator in the city to focus on creatively renewing people’s everyday experiences. More similar projects have been launched, showing younger generations’ care and social responsibility.
26. Why does Luo Shengtian “plant” felt flowers in Guangzhou
A. To protect the flowers.
B. To fix broken walls.
C. To start a group activity.
D. To warn people in streets.
27. What does the underlined word “scars” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Hard stones.
B. Waste buildings.
C. Strange shapes.
D. Wounded surfaces.
28. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. Luo created 300 volunteer groups.
B. Luo “planted” 20 flowers in Beijing.
C. The project’s influence spread abroad.
D. The project made art appear in the air.
29. What is the purpose of the story in Venice in paragraph 4
A. To show the art works’ acceptance in Italy.
B. To praise a kind stranger who spread the idea.
C. To test if people value their living environment.
D. To state the flowers have been widely “planted”.
30. What’s the best title of this text
A. Felt Flowers Beautify Old Cities
B. Luo Shengtian, a Gifted Sculptor
C. A Beautiful Warning from Flowers
D. A Project Famous in European Countries
第二节 阅读下面短文，并从方框里的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文，使原文的意思连贯、完整。（共5小题，每小题2分）
A. Find a community garden.
B. Turn to experienced gardeners for help.
C. Different plants need different amounts of care.
D. Plenty of plants grow well indoors in small pots.
E. Even standing near a green plant can help you feel more relaxed.
F. Learn from your mistakes, and don’t let them keep you from continuing to garden.
Gardening has been around for as long as humans have been growing food. Today it is known for its health benefits (益处). Taking part in gardening can reduce our bad feelings and help us feel better. 31 . Things like weeding (除草) and digging are a good exercise. If you don’t like to work out in the gym, gardening is an enjoyable way for you to keep fit.
We can include gardening in our life in many ways.
Decide which plant to grow. Do you have a favourite flower, fruit, or vegetable 32 . Choose a plant that you want to grow according to how much time you have and how much money and energy you can put into.
33 . A community garden is a shared place where people grow plants in a large piece of land together. Search online for a community garden near you. It is a good place to ask questions and learn from experienced gardeners.
Grow plants indoors. You don’t have to own land to start gardening. 34 . All you need is just a window or artificial (人造的) lightening source, pots, soil, and any other thing that helps a plant grow.
Mistakes happen. Not every plant will grow exactly how you want or expect. Almost everyone will experience problems or failure in growing a plant. Don’t lose heart. 35 .

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个恰当的单词，首字母已给出。
Life will be peaceful if you always do kind things. I teach my daughters to d 51 a habit of helping others.
We live in the country. Most of what we see is beautiful nature. One of the exceptions to the beauty is the rubbish that some people throw out of their car windows. And there are no necessary public s 52 , such as rubbish collection.
A helping behavior that I often p 53 with my daughters is picking up rubbish in our neighborhood. My daughters often have m 54 to see who can collect the most rubbish. They will often say to me in an excited voice, “There’s some rubbish, Daddy, stop the car!” Without t 55 more, we will often get out of our car and pick it up. Though it may seem strange, we do it. In fact, we e 56 it. We pick up rubbish in parks, on sidewalks, almost a 57 .
One day I saw a man I had never met before picking up rubbish on the road. I stopped. He r 58 his head and said to me with a smile. “I saw you doing this with your family. It’s a good idea to protect our natural world.”
There are many other ways to p 59 kindness for others. You may share a dinner with a homeless person, visit lonely old people in the nursing home, or help the blind cross the street. You can think of something that can be finished e 60 but helpful. It is fun, self-satisfying, and what’s more, it can set a good example. Helping others is helping yourself.

In the morning, we raised the national flag first. Then we travelled around Hong Kong online. The famous attractions included Victoria Harbour and Ocean Park. In the afternoon, an English speech competition themed “My country and I” was organized, in which contestants from both schools shared their understanding of our future development. In the end, we sang the popular song “Pearl of the East” to express our best wishes to Hong Kong. Having attended such an educational activity, I was inspired to work harder for the prosperity of our country.
