I’m very glad to learn that an International Culture Week activity will be held in our school and you are collecting art works on show. Here is an art work of paper cutting for you.
As is known to all, paper cutting is a unique traditional Chinese folk art with a history of over 2,000 years. It can be seen in different parts of China, especially in the north, where people are all fond of it. Additionally, many people are good at cutting paper into different shapes, such as birds, animals and flowers, which is popular among young people. I believe students will like it.
Looking forward to your early reply.

For six hours we shot through the landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. Just rocks and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth, a beautiful leather notebook I’d bought in a market in Mozambique.
Southern Africa was full of stories and visions. We were almost drunk on sensations. The roaring of the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana. And then the other things: dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto living in one room, a kilometre from clean water.
As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty—we hadn’t seen another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye, something moving next to me. I glanced in the mirror of the car; I glanced sideways to the right, and that was when I saw them. Next to us, by the side of the road, thirty, forty wild horses were racing the car, a cloud of dust rising behind them—brown, muscular horses almost close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath. I didn’t know how long they had been there next to us.
I shouted to Dan: “Look!”, but he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet. They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms in the red landscape. When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.
“Wild horses ” he said. “Why didn’t you wake me up ”
“I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds.”
“Are you sure you didn’t dream it ”
“You were the one who was sleeping!”
“Typical,” he said. “The best photos are the ones we never take.”
We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.
24. During their journey in Africa, the two travelers ________.
A. made friends with local residents B. complained about the poor living conditions
C. enjoyed the sunset in the Karoo desert most D. recorded their experiences in different ways
25. What does the phrase “heroic forms” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. Racing cars. B. Wild horses.
C. Eye-catching locals. D. Running dogs.
26. What did Daniel think when he woke up and was told what had happened
A. He always missed out on the best thing.
B. He had already taken beautiful pictures.
C. A sound sleep was more important.
D. The next trip would be better.
27. What is the passage mainly about
A. How to view wildlife in Africa.
B. Running into wildlife in Africa.
C. Tourist attractions in southern Africa.
D. Possible dangers of travelling in Africa.
C
A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.
“It’s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components,” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said.
They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.
While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield. “Basically, it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said.
Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day to day basis.”
28. Which of the following statements was the difficulty engineers met while making the robotic fly
A. They did not have sufficient fund. B. No ready-made components were available.
C. There was no model in their mind. D. It was hard for them to assemble the components.
29. What can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4
A. The robotic fly has been put into wide application.
B. The robotic fly consists of a flight device and a control system.
C. Information from many sources can be collected by the robotic fly.
D. The robotic fly can just fly in limited areas at present.
30. Which of the following can be learned from the passage
A. Wood’s design can replace animals in some experiments.
B. Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.
C. The robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects.
D. There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.
31. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage
A. The Development of Robotic Fly
B. Robotic Fly Promotes Engineering Science
C. Harvard’s Efforts in Making Robotic Fly
D. Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect
D
Forests are always losers at the Olympics, and that’s unlikely to change anytime soon.
For the winter games in PyeongChang, South Korea, virgin forest was destroyed on Mount Gariwang to accommodate ski runs. For the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, a ski run is set to wipe out part of the Songshan National Nature Reserve. And let’s not forget the 240 acres of Atlantic Forest that were leveled for the 2016 games in Rio de Janeiro to make way for a golf course.
For the upcoming Tokyo games, environmental and human rights advocates have been raising alarms about the use of tropical (热带的) wood to build the New National stadium. Activists have fought against such environmental destruction. The damage is often permanent, threatens endangered plants and animals and in some cases, causes conflicts with native people. But frequently the country’s organizing committee, and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) have found ways to make it reasonable — despite a paragraph in the Olympic Charter (宪章) that states that the IOC’s role is to “encourage and support a responsible concern for environmental issues”.
“As it stands now, the IOC has little authority over a city’s local organizing committee, which finally plans the event, ” Chappelet, professor of public management at the University of Lausanne, told Earther. “Even if the IOC is dissatisfied with the way host cities have prepared for the games, they have no built-in systems to watch them so that they strictly follow the Olympic Charter.” The only thing they can do if they’re not happy is to withdraw (= take back) the right to organize the game. “But the IOC could include more enforcement (执行) systems into the contract they make with the host city,” he added. That contract must be signed and obeyed by everyone and those who break it must be fined.
Boykoff, the author of several books on the Olympics, suggested a similar solution. “The IOC could insist that host cities take their ecological (生态的) promises into account first, but instead they look the other way, time and time again,” he said.
32. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A.Popularity of the Olympics.
B. Different needs of the Olympics.
C. Importance of protecting forests.
D. Problems caused by the Olympics.
33. The IOC is expected to ______ according to the Olympic Charter.
A. lead the fight against destruction
B. withdraw the rights of host cities
C. ban the destruction of the environment
D. promote a responsible concern for the environment
34. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refers to ______.
A. the IOC B. built-in systems
C. host cities D. the games
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. IOC Stresses Its Active Role B. Prized Forests Lost Big
C. Perfect Solutions are found D. Conflicts Arise at the Olympics

How do actors and actresses memorize hundreds of lines Memorizing lines takes practice and constant repetition. However, there are a few ways to make the memorization process run smoothly and quickly.
___36___
For most performers, there is no quicker way of memorizing lines. To learn lines, an actor must recite the play loud over and over again. Most rehearsals(排练) encourage this by running through the lines or having a"read-through". By the time the opening night arrives, most actors have spoken their lines hundreds of times.
Listen to your cast members
Sometimes inexperienced actors spend rehearsals looking at fellow performers, waiting patiently to say their next line. ___37___. This will help the actors learn their lines better because the context of the dialogue is absorbing.
___38___
Because there is often not enough rehearsal time, many performers find ways to listen to the play's dialogue during everyday activities. They use a tape recorder or an MP3 player to listen to the lines from each relevant scene. Some actors prefer to record the lines of all the characters, including their own lines. ___39___. Others like recording the lines of fellow cast members, and they leave a blank space so that they can insert their dialogue while listening to the recording.
Think positively and don't panic
Most actors will experience stage fright before the opening night. Actors forget lines now and then. When it happens, however, most of the time the audience never notice. If you forget a line in the middle of your performance, don't freeze. Stay in character. Keep the scene going to the best of your ability. If unfortunately you forget a line once, you will probably never forget that line ever again. ___40___.
A. Record your lines
B. Practice makes perfect
C. Read lines loud and repeat them
D. Remember the lines in a short time
E. Sometimes embarrassment is the toughest method of memorization
F. Then, they not only listen carefully, but they also speak all of the lines
G. Instead, they should be listening carefully, responding in character at all times
