One day, Paula Ma was walking along Castle Island’s beach. She found there were lots of plastic（塑料）pieces in the sea and some were too small to pick up. She began to think about how to solve the problem.
First, she did a survey. The result showed there were already 150 million tons of plastic in the sea, and every year there would be another 8 million tons. She realized something must be done. So she decided to invent a robot that could work under water. She tried again and again. At last her ROV came out. It could move through water and pick up plastic pieces, especially the small ones.
With this ROV, Paula Ma took part in the Broadcom Masters competition. It was one of the top STEM competitions. It’s for young students around the world. This year, more than 5,000 students were interested in the competition, but only a few got the chance. Paula Ma’s ROV caught a lot of attention. It had a camera with three different kinds of lights. It could find plastic pieces easily. Dana Yoerger, an expert, said, “The ROV is nicely done for a 12-year-old girl. It’s very clever.”
In fact, Paula Ma is always learning to solve the world problems and her parents are always supporting her. At the age of five, she began to go to workshops to learn engineering skills. When she was asked about the future plan, she said, “I want to be an engineer because I like building things. I think many world problems can be solved with new inventions. Right now, I’m just caring about plastic problems because there is still a long way to go.”

It’s always a happy moment when you get some pocket money (零花钱). But have you ever thought about how to spend your pocket money wisely Here is some advice.
Make a list.
When you get your pocket money, don’t get too excited. We all have a lot of things that we want. But do you really need them That’s why it is necessary to make a list before you spend money. Start with the thing you want most. You can also write down how much it costs or how important it is in your life. By doing this, you will see if it is really necessary to buy it.
Help others.
How about being more selfless (无私的) and using your pocket money to help others We all know that there are many people in the world who are in need of our help. Helping others brings out the best in us and is one of the greatest joys in our lives. So consider using your pocket money to do something useful and helpful, and feel how you can make a difference.
Save as much as you can.
There is an old saying that “Money doesn’t grow on trees. ” If you spend all your pocket money right away, you’ll have no money until your next “pay day”.
A wallet sometimes might not be the best place to save money because it may make it easier for you to spend your money.

There are a lot of interesting things living in the sea. There are many types of fish and many other animals. There are also many types of plants. There are even some animals which have a lot in common with you. They are mammals living in the sea. How much do you know about creatures that live in the sea Do you want to know more about the food chain(链) in the sea
In the sea, all sea creatures get food from other sea creatures. At the first link of the food chain are the sea plants and plankton(浮游生物). Plants are found only in the sunlight zone where there is enough light for them. However, animals are found at all depths of the oceans though their numbers are greater near the surface where food is enough. Many kinds of fish and animals, such as the snail, shrimp, jellyfish, and sea star eat the plankton. The small animals and fish that eat plankton then become food for larger fish, such as the tuna and mackerel. These fish are then eaten by larger fish and animals, such as the shark and dolphin. The shark and dolphin are at the top of the food chain in the sea. Sharks are very dangerous so many people are eaten by them in the sea.
But why the number of the shark is becoming smaller and smaller And who eats the shark Check out the menu at a seafood restaurant next time you are eating there. Don’t be surprised if you find shark on the menu.

Born in the 2000s, you are called the oh-ohs. Then what do you think of your generation （一代人） Maybe you feel proud of yourselves—young, creative, connected, global, smart, or maybe good-looking But what do other people think about your generation
Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the phone than the world around you. They see you as the “face-down generation” and wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family. Are today’s teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies（自拍）to become successful in real life—or “IRL”, as you would say
Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoiled and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents” who were always there to guide and help their children with a busy schedule（日程表）such as dancing, painting and so on. With parents doing everything for them, today’s young people seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.
Does the face-down generation need a heads-up Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to serve their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school.
So if you are one of them born in the 2000s, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. It’s possible that you will do great.
21．The writer leads the readers to the passage ________.
A．by showing his ideas B．by asking questions C．by describing the situation
22．The oh-ohs are thought as the “face-down generation” because ________.
A．they are always busy with homework with their heads down
B．they are not closely connected to the people around them
C．they spend too much time using their phones
23．What do “helicopter parents” do for their children according to the passage
A．They plan all kinds of after-class activities for their children.
B．They help children to face the challenges.
C．They do the homework instead of their children.
24．The underlined word “rights” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to ________.
A．something that people are allowed to do
B．something that people volunteer to do
C．somebody that looks after teenagers
25．What does the passage mainly tell us
A．Mobile phones are harmful to teenagers’ growth and development.
B．Although the young people have some problems, their future is full of hope.
C．Teenagers don’t need to change themselves to satisfy adults’ standards
It is often said, “You can’t live only on air.” But now the Chinese scientists can tell you: Maybe you can.
Recently, some Chinese scientists have developed a new technique（技术）. They turned CO2, one of the main greenhouse gases, into starch（淀粉）.
Starch is the main part of flour（面粉）and rice that we eat every day. Usually, it’s created by plants with CO2, water and sunlight. According to the team’s director Ma Yanhe, it takes the plants nearly 60 steps to produce starch. But now, the team, after six years of hard work, has found a simpler way to do this, with only 11 steps.
“Our study shows that creating something like starch is possible in a lab, and this technology may be helpful in many areas.” said Ma.
The scientists first turned CO2 and hydrogen（氢气）into methanol（甲醇）. Then they pieced（分解）these methanol molecules（分子）into bigger and more complex（复杂的）molecules. Finally the starch was produced.
This method makes it possible to produce food in factories, taking the place of traditional farming. This will not only help make plenty of food, but also save water and land. It may also help recycle CO2 to deal with climate（气候）change, according to China Daily.
The study can be helpful in space, too. Astronauts may no longer need to worry about their food as they travel in space. They may simply turn the CO2 they breathe out into the food they eat!
26．With a new technique, the Chinese scientists could turn CO2 into ________.
A．air B．water C．sunlight D．starch
27．Plants can create starch with _________.
A．CO2 and water B．water and sunlight C．CO2, water and sunlight D．CO2 and hydrogen
28．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 5
A．How the starch was produced. B．It’s difficult to turn CO2 into the starch.
C．Scientists can do complex work. D．It tells us the importance of the starch.
29．According to the last two paragraphs, the new method may not help ________.
A．save water and land B．produce food in factories
C．send astronauts into space D．recycle CO2 to deal with climate change
30．The text probably comes from a ________.
A．guidebook B．sports newspaper C．science magazine D．story book
Otters（水獭）are cute water animals. These days, keeping otters as pets is getting popular. In Japan, some “otter cafés（咖啡馆）”are open for business. People can pay to play with the otters there and to take photos with them. In Indonesia, people go swimming with their pet otters and take funny videos. These photos and videos posted online have interested more people to buy otters as pets. However, these enjoyable photos and videos hide the damage（损害）that the online trade is doing to otters. In fact, wild otters are facing many dangers-they have long been hunted（猎杀）for their coats; in some places, fishermen have been killing otters in order to stop them from eating fish; and now, the online pet trade has become another big problem for otters.
In the wild, baby otters usually stay with their mothers during their first year of life. According to a report, 70% of the otters sold online are under one year old. These baby otters have been stolen from their mothers.
Otters are very social. They live in family groups of up to 15 in the wild. Keeping an otter as a pet can make it very sad and lonely. When they swim, they need enough space. Their owners’ bathtubs（浴缸）or pools are nowhere near as large as the bodies of water in the wild.
On the other hand, otters simply don’t make good pets. They have a very special fishy smell. If they are kept indoors, they will leave a lot of waste around the house. This would make the smell even more unpleasant. Besides, when otters are unhappy, they will make loud noises and even attack（攻击）people. If a person is hurt by an otter, he or she needs to go to hospital at once.
So, we should stop the otter trade and never share photos and videos about them online.

How quickly can you count from one to ten Do you use ten different words to do it Can you do it in English, or do you have to use your first language Do you count on your fingers Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientists have discovered that it is not true.
People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States, people begin counting with their first finger. They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb to count to five. Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.
Besides ways of finger counting, scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers, and others have no words for numbers. For example, the aboriginal people in Australia don’t have hand movements to stand for numbers. They don’t even have words for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers. Similarly, people of the Piraha tribe in northwestern Brazil don’t have words for numbers such as “one” or “three”. They are not able to say “five trees” or “ten trees” but can say “some trees”, “more trees” or “many trees”.
Professor Edward Gibson from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said that most people believe that everyone knows how to count, “But here is a group that does not count. They could learn, but it’s not useful in their culture, so they’ve never picked it up.”
41．Why does the writer list the four questions at the beginning of the passage
A．To make a survey. B．To interest the readers.
C．To give examples. D．To interview the readers.
42．According to Paragraph 2, what is the difference between the US and China in finger counting
A．People from China use finger positions to do counting.
B．People from the US usually begin counting with their thumb.
C．People from China count much faster than people from the US.
D．People from the US use only one hand to count from one to ten.

44．Which of the following is TRUE about aboriginal Australians
A．There are ideas of numbers in their life. B．There is no “some trees” in their language.
C．They have only a few words for numbers. D．They have hand movements for numbers.
45．What’s the main idea of the passage
A．Chinese people are good at counting. B．Counting quickly on fingers is not easy.
C．Counting is difficult to learn in some tribes. D．People don’t need numbers in some cultures.
As a young girl growing up in China, Juliana Chen never imagined the success she would have as a performer. At her age of 10, she was chosen to attend the Hunan Academy for the Performing Arts. The Hunan Academy is one of China’s best schools for dancers, acrobats (杂技演员), and other kinds of performers.
Juliana first was trained in ballet. Then she studied juggling (杂耍) and acrobatics and joined a famous acrobatic troupe (剧团). But she met many difficulties, and injured her leg several times. While she was recovering (恢复) from one of her injuries, Juliana watched a magic show on television. That’s when Juliana knew she would become a magician.
Juliana impressed people with her special skill. Because of her acrobatic training, she was skilled with her body and her hands. It seemed that she could make some cards appear out of thin air. In 1986, Juliana won the All-China Best Magician competition.
After her success in China, Juliana wanted to bring her magic to the world. So in 1988 she moved to Canada. There, she became an even bigger star. Soon, she travelled around the world, learning new tricks and performing. In 1997, she became the first woman and the first magician from China to win 9 world title for a solo (单人的) act at the World Congress of Magicians. In 2021, she became a judge of The Amazing Magicians on Jiangsu TV. Now, Juliana continues teaching, performing, winning awards, and learning new magic tricks.

We’ve been driving around in gas-powered cars for over 100 years. Once we run out of all the oil from the Earth, we can’t make more. Is it time for a change
Biofuel
One simple way to use less gas is to fill up with biofuel, a fuel made from plants. Biofuels can be brewed(酿制) from corn, wheat or other plant waste. Even old cooking oil can be turned into diesel, a fuel used in trucks. Most cars can’t run only on biofuel, so it’s mixed with gasoline(汽油). But every little bit helps!
Go electric
An electric car has an electric motor that runs on batteries, which come in a big pack. Instead of filling up the tank, an electric car owner plugs(插) it into an outlet to recharge(充电). What happens when the batteries run down You need to find somewhere to plug in. It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 8 hours to recharge an electric car. That’s not as handy as a quick stop at a gas station.
Hybrid (gas+electric)
A hybrid car has two engines—one uses gas and the other uses electricity. For short trips, it turns on batteries like an electric car. But if the batteries are low, the car can change to the gas engine. This can be a good choice for people who are worried about the batteries running out halfway through a trip. But when the car burns gas, it still gives off waste gases like a regular car.
Solar power
Could we use the sun to power cars Some car companies are working on it. A solar car has an electric motor that runs on batteries. But instead of being plugged in, the batteries are recharged by the solar panels on the car’s roof and body. To charge up, you just need to park the car in the sun! But making solar panels and batteries that are powerful enough to move a car is very expensive. It might take a good bit of time before solar cars are available to the general public.
51．What is biofuel made from
A． B． C． D．
52．What does the underlined word “handy” mean in Chinese
A．方便的 B．耗时的 C．时尚的 D．便宜的
53．What is the problem with a hybrid car
A．It can only be used for short trips.
B．It is difficult to repair a broken hybrid car.
C．It still produces harmful gases when burning gasoline.
D．It is not easy to change from the electric engine to the gas one.
54．What can we learn about the solar cars from the passage
A．They cannot only run on solar power.
B．They need to be plugged in for recharging.
C．They are too heavy for the batteries to run.
D．They are too expensive for common people to afford now.
55．What does the passage mainly talk about
A．Ways to replace gasoline. B．Qualities of different vehicles.
C．Suggestions on reducing air pollution. D．Disadvantages of different kinds of energy.
This is usually something that is over quickly. Many people have problems with anger. Often if you feel angry, it’s about something that is happening to you at the time. Feeling angry is a part of being human.
But doctors say anger can be an extremely harmful emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. It becomes a problem when it harms you or people around you. They warn that anger can also lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.
Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. How do people deal with their anger
Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger and scream and cry. But other people keep their anger inside. They cannot or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.
For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure or sugar into the blood, etc. In general the person feels excited and ready to act.
Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently (激烈地) may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.
Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit (承认) that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”
Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.
56．From Paragraphs 1 & 2, we can learn that _______.
A．anger can last for a long time
B．anger can lead to bad illnesses
C．anger is the most harmful to people
D．humans shouldn’t feel angry
57．In Paragraph 4, the underlined word “repressing” means _________.

A．They both lead to bad health problems.
B．Expressing anger is much more dangerous.
C．Both of them are good ways to deal with anger.
D．Repressing anger may develop heart disease.
59．To deal with anger, what didn’t doctors suggest
A．To admit that you are angry and find out the real cause.
B．Not to express your anger at once until you calm down.
C．To express anger if you feel that you can not stop it.

B．About why people get angry.
C．About how doctors treat angry people.
D．About how to deal with anger.
Hollywood is a neighbourhood in Los Angeles, California. It used to be the historical center of movie studios and movie stars. And the word “Hollywood” often used as a metonymy (借代) of American cinema. But these are memories. Hollywood isn’t quite the same as it used to be. Costs have gone up and confidence has gone down. Movie-makers are afraid to spend their money on expensive new ideas.
Hollywood is facing big challenges! The film industry is changing fast. Teenagers still go out to movies. The theater is a good place to meet friends away from home. But older people mostly stay home to watch series, like Dynasty. These “soap operas”, as they are called, show rich, powerful families living in beautiful clothes. But the actors and actresses are nearly all middle-aged.
Though soap operas keep the film-makers of Hollywood in business, big films are still being made in America. But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood. New York is the most important new center, and there many other are many others as well. Movie-makers have realized that they don’t need Hollywood any more. They use modem cameras and real houses instead of expensively made copies in a studio. Other states, especially Florida and Texas, are working hard to take the film business away from California. They are offering better working conditions and lower cost.
But Hollywood is fighting back. The state of California is trying hard to keep its best-known industry.

Life is competitive—some kids can do something faster or better than other kids. This might not seem fair, but all people are different and how well you can do something is different to others. This means there are “winners” and “losers”, and lots of people are neither winners nor losers but in-between. You can choose to be a good winner or an even better loser whether you are competing against others or yourself.
Being a “good” winner
No one likes a “show off”.
No one likes someone who takes all the praise for the efforts of a team.
No one likes people who put others down to make themselves look good.
To be a good winner you need to:
◆ Be modest(谦虚的).
◆ Thank those who helped you for their efforts.
◆ Keep trying to improve your skills.
◆ Aim for the next step up in whatever you are doing well.
Being an even better loser
Of course it’s disappointing to lose, especially if you are close to winning. Behaving badly or angrily, name-calling and going on about things being “unfair” won’t change the final result and will only make you look like a bad sporter. And no one likes bad sports either.
To be an even better loser you need to:
◆ Behave politely, nicely and kindly.
◆ Congratulate the other team.
◆ Keep any negative (消极的) thoughts to yourself—at least until you are away from the game.
It’s OK to let out your negative thoughts to your best friend or parents later. And if you don’t do very well in a game, try harder to learn for the next one. Improving yourself makes you a winner too.
66．What can we learn from the first paragraph
A．We are either losers or winners. B．We should face winning or losing properly.
C．We can do nothing about winning or losing. D．We are always competing with others not ourselves.
67．If we succeed, it’s NOT proper to ________.
A．go on improving our skills B．tell our team members to aim higher
C．thank our team members D．put down others to make ourselves look good
68．Who is probably a bad sporter
A．Tom keeps saying the game is unfair when he loses.
B．Jim encourages his teammates after their team loses.
C．Anna thanks her coach for what he has done though she fails.
D．Cindy shows her congratulations to other competitors even if she fails.
69．A better loser should ________ when losing.
A．let out his anger to his parents at once B．express his negative feelings in the game
C．try harder to improve himself in the next game D．behave badly to his team members or competitors
70．What is the passage written for
A．Telling us what we can learn from losing.
B．Offering advice on what we can do to win.
C．Encouraging us to become a winner instead of a loser.
D．Giving advice on how to deal with winning and losing.

One day, Paula Ma was walking along Castle Island’s beach. She found there were lots of plastic（塑料）pieces in the sea and some were too small to pick up. She began to think about how to solve the problem.
First, she did a survey. The result showed there were already 150 million tons of plastic in the sea, and every year there would be another 8 million tons. She realized something must be done. So she decided to invent a robot that could work under water. She tried again and again. At last her ROV came out. It could move through water and pick up plastic pieces, especially the small ones.
With this ROV, Paula Ma took part in the Broadcom Masters competition. It was one of the top STEM competitions. It’s for young students around the world. This year, more than 5,000 students were interested in the competition, but only a few got the chance. Paula Ma’s ROV caught a lot of attention. It had a camera with three different kinds of lights. It could find plastic pieces easily. Dana Yoerger, an expert, said, “The ROV is nicely done for a 12-year-old girl. It’s very clever.”
In fact, Paula Ma is always learning to solve the world problems and her parents are always supporting her. At the age of five, she began to go to workshops to learn engineering skills. When she was asked about the future plan, she said, “I want to be an engineer because I like building things. I think many world problems can be solved with new inventions. Right now, I’m just caring about plastic problems because there is still a long way to go.”

It’s always a happy moment when you get some pocket money (零花钱). But have you ever thought about how to spend your pocket money wisely Here is some advice.
Make a list.
When you get your pocket money, don’t get too excited. We all have a lot of things that we want. But do you really need them That’s why it is necessary to make a list before you spend money. Start with the thing you want most. You can also write down how much it costs or how important it is in your life. By doing this, you will see if it is really necessary to buy it.
Help others.
How about being more selfless (无私的) and using your pocket money to help others We all know that there are many people in the world who are in need of our help. Helping others brings out the best in us and is one of the greatest joys in our lives. So consider using your pocket money to do something useful and helpful, and feel how you can make a difference.
Save as much as you can.
There is an old saying that “Money doesn’t grow on trees. ” If you spend all your pocket money right away, you’ll have no money until your next “pay day”.
A wallet sometimes might not be the best place to save money because it may make it easier for you to spend your money. Get a piggy bank (储蓄罐) or ask your parents to start a savings account (账户) for you. Someday when you look back, you’ll get a strong feeling of achievement by saving so much money by yourself!

There are a lot of interesting things living in the sea. There are many types of fish and many other animals. There are also many types of plants. There are even some animals which have a lot in common with you. They are mammals living in the sea. How much do you know about creatures that live in the sea Do you want to know more about the food chain(链) in the sea
In the sea, all sea creatures get food from other sea creatures. At the first link of the food chain are the sea plants and plankton(浮游生物). Plants are found only in the sunlight zone where there is enough light for them. However, animals are found at all depths of the oceans though their numbers are greater near the surface where food is enough. Many kinds of fish and animals, such as the snail, shrimp, jellyfish, and sea star eat the plankton. The small animals and fish that eat plankton then become food for larger fish, such as the tuna and mackerel. These fish are then eaten by larger fish and animals, such as the shark and dolphin. The shark and dolphin are at the top of the food chain in the sea. Sharks are very dangerous so many people are eaten by them in the sea.
But why the number of the shark is becoming smaller and smaller And who eats the shark Check out the menu at a seafood restaurant next time you are eating there. Don’t be surprised if you find shark on the menu.

Born in the 2000s, you are called the oh-ohs. Then what do you think of your generation （一代人） Maybe you feel proud of yourselves—young, creative, connected, global, smart, or maybe good-looking But what do other people think about your generation
Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the phone than the world around you. They see you as the “face-down generation” and wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family. Are today’s teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies（自拍）to become successful in real life—or “IRL”, as you would say
Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoiled and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents” who were always there to guide and help their children with a busy schedule（日程表）such as dancing, painting and so on. With parents doing everything for them, today’s young people seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.
Does the face-down generation need a heads-up Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to serve their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school.
So if you are one of them born in the 2000s, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. It’s possible that you will do great.
21．The writer leads the readers to the passage ________.
A．by showing his ideas B．by asking questions C．by describing the situation
22．The oh-ohs are thought as the “face-down generation” because ________.
A．they are always busy with homework with their heads down

C．they spend too much time using their phones
23．What do “helicopter parents” do for their children according to the passage
A．They plan all kinds of after-class activities for their children.
B．They help children to face the challenges.
C．They do the homework instead of their children.
24．The underlined word “rights” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to ________.
A．something that people are allowed to do
B．something that people volunteer to do
C．somebody that looks after teenagers
25．What does the passage mainly tell us
A．Mobile phones are harmful to teenagers’ growth and development.
B．Although the young people have some problems, their future is full of hope.
C．Teenagers don’t need to change themselves to satisfy adults’ standards
It is often said, “You can’t live only on air.” But now the Chinese scientists can tell you: Maybe you can.
Recently, some Chinese scientists have developed a new technique（技术）. They turned CO2, one of the main greenhouse gases, into starch（淀粉）.
Starch is the main part of flour（面粉）and rice that we eat every day. Usually, it’s created by plants with CO2, water and sunlight. According to the team’s director Ma Yanhe, it takes the plants nearly 60 steps to produce starch. But now, the team, after six years of hard work, has found a simpler way to do this, with only 11 steps.
“Our study shows that creating something like starch is possible in a lab, and this technology may be helpful in many areas.” said Ma.
The scientists first turned CO2 and hydrogen（氢气）into methanol（甲醇）. Then they pieced（分解）these methanol molecules（分子）into bigger and more complex（复杂的）molecules. Finally the starch was produced.
This method makes it possible to produce food in factories, taking the place of traditional farming. This will not only help make plenty of food, but also save water and land. It may also help recycle CO2 to deal with climate（气候）change, according to China Daily.
The study can be helpful in space, too. Astronauts may no longer need to worry about their food as they travel in space. They may simply turn the CO2 they breathe out into the food they eat!
26．With a new technique, the Chinese scientists could turn CO2 into ________.
A．air B．water C．sunlight D．starch
27．Plants can create starch with _________.
A．CO2 and water B．water and sunlight C．CO2, water and sunlight D．CO2 and hydrogen
28．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 5
A．How the starch was produced. B．It’s difficult to turn CO2 into the starch.
C．Scientists can do complex work. D．It tells us the importance of the starch.
29．According to the last two paragraphs, the new method may not help ________.
A．save water and land B．produce food in factories
C．send astronauts into space D．recycle CO2 to deal with climate change
30．The text probably comes from a ________.
A．guidebook B．sports newspaper C．science magazine D．story book
Otters（水獭）are cute water animals. These days, keeping otters as pets is getting popular. In Japan, some “otter cafés（咖啡馆）”are open for business. People can pay to play with the otters there and to take photos with them. In Indonesia, people go swimming with their pet otters and take funny videos. These photos and videos posted online have interested more people to buy otters as pets. However, these enjoyable photos and videos hide the damage（损害）that the online trade is doing to otters. In fact, wild otters are facing many dangers-they have long been hunted（猎杀）for their coats; in some places, fishermen have been killing otters in order to stop them from eating fish; and now, the online pet trade has become another big problem for otters.
In the wild, baby otters usually stay with their mothers during their first year of life. According to a report, 70% of the otters sold online are under one year old. These baby otters have been stolen from their mothers.
Otters are very social. They live in family groups of up to 15 in the wild. Keeping an otter as a pet can make it very sad and lonely. When they swim, they need enough space. Their owners’ bathtubs（浴缸）or pools are nowhere near as large as the bodies of water in the wild.
On the other hand, otters simply don’t make good pets. They have a very special fishy smell. If they are kept indoors, they will leave a lot of waste around the house. This would make the smell even more unpleasant. Besides, when otters are unhappy, they will make loud noises and even attack（攻击）people. If a person is hurt by an otter, he or she needs to go to hospital at once.
So, we should stop the otter trade and never share photos and videos about them online.

How quickly can you count from one to ten Do you use ten different words to do it Can you do it in English, or do you have to use your first language Do you count on your fingers Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientists have discovered that it is not true.
People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States, people begin counting with their first finger. They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb to count to five. Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.
Besides ways of finger counting, scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers, and others have no words for numbers. For example, the aboriginal people in Australia don’t have hand movements to stand for numbers. They don’t even have words for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers. Similarly, people of the Piraha tribe in northwestern Brazil don’t have words for numbers such as “one” or “three”. They are not able to say “five trees” or “ten trees” but can say “some trees”, “more trees” or “many trees”.
Professor Edward Gibson from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said that most people believe that everyone knows how to count, “But here is a group that does not count. They could learn, but it’s not useful in their culture, so they’ve never picked it up.”
41．Why does the writer list the four questions at the beginning of the passage
A．To make a survey. B．To interest the readers.

As a young girl growing up in China, Juliana Chen never imagined the success she would have as a performer. At her age of 10, she was chosen to attend the Hunan Academy for the Performing Arts. The Hunan Academy is one of China’s best schools for dancers, acrobats (杂技演员), and other kinds of performers.
Juliana first was trained in ballet. Then she studied juggling (杂耍) and acrobatics and joined a famous acrobatic troupe (剧团). But she met many difficulties, and injured her leg several times. While she was recovering (恢复) from one of her injuries, Juliana watched a magic show on television. That’s when Juliana knew she would become a magician.
Juliana impressed people with her special skill. Because of her acrobatic training, she was skilled with her body and her hands. It seemed that she could make some cards appear out of thin air. In 1986, Juliana won the All-China Best Magician competition.
After her success in China, Juliana wanted to bring her magic to the world. So in 1988 she moved to Canada. There, she became an even bigger star. Soon, she travelled around the world, learning new tricks and performing. In 1997, she became the first woman and the first magician from China to win 9 world title for a solo (单人的) act at the World Congress of Magicians.

We’ve been driving around in gas-powered cars for over 100 years. Once we run out of all the oil from the Earth, we can’t make more. Is it time for a change
Biofuel
One simple way to use less gas is to fill up with biofuel, a fuel made from plants. Biofuels can be brewed(酿制) from corn, wheat or other plant waste. Even old cooking oil can be turned into diesel, a fuel used in trucks. Most cars can’t run only on biofuel, so it’s mixed with gasoline(汽油). But every little bit helps!
Go electric
An electric car has an electric motor that runs on batteries, which come in a big pack. Instead of filling up the tank, an electric car owner plugs(插) it into an outlet to recharge(充电). What happens when the batteries run down You need to find somewhere to plug in. It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 8 hours to recharge an electric car. That’s not as handy as a quick stop at a gas station.
Hybrid (gas+electric)
A hybrid car has two engines—one uses gas and the other uses electricity. For short trips, it turns on batteries like an electric car. But if the batteries are low, the car can change to the gas engine. This can be a good choice for people who are worried about the batteries running out halfway through a trip. But when the car burns gas, it still gives off waste gases like a regular car.
Solar power
Could we use the sun to power cars Some car companies are working on it. A solar car has an electric motor that runs on batteries. But instead of being plugged in, the batteries are recharged by the solar panels on the car’s roof and body. To charge up, you just need to park the car in the sun! But making solar panels and batteries that are powerful enough to move a car is very expensive. It might take a good bit of time before solar cars are available to the general public.
51．What is biofuel made from
A． B． C． D．
52．What does the underlined word “handy” mean in Chinese
A．方便的 B．耗时的 C．时尚的 D．便宜的
53．What is the problem with a hybrid car
A．It can only be used for short trips.
B．It is difficult to repair a broken hybrid car.
C．It still produces harmful gases when burning gasoline.
D．It is not easy to change from the electric engine to the gas one.
54．What can we learn about the solar cars from the passage
A．They cannot only run on solar power.
B．They need to be plugged in for recharging.
C．They are too heavy for the batteries to run.
D．They are too expensive for common people to afford now.
55．What does the passage mainly talk about
A．Ways to replace gasoline. B．Qualities of different vehicles.
C．Suggestions on reducing air pollution. D．Disadvantages of different kinds of energy.
This is usually something that is over quickly. Many people have problems with anger. Often if you feel angry, it’s about something that is happening to you at the time. Feeling angry is a part of being human.
But doctors say anger can be an extremely harmful emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. It becomes a problem when it harms you or people around you. They warn that anger can also lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.
Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. How do people deal with their anger
Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger and scream and cry. But other people keep their anger inside. They cannot or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.
For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure or sugar into the blood, etc. In general the person feels excited and ready to act.
Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently (激烈地) may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.
Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit (承认) that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”
Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.
56．From Paragraphs 1 & 2, we can learn that _______.
A．anger can last for a long time

Hollywood is a neighbourhood in Los Angeles, California. It used to be the historical center of movie studios and movie stars. And the word “Hollywood” often used as a metonymy (借代) of American cinema. But these are memories. Hollywood isn’t quite the same as it used to be. Costs have gone up and confidence has gone down. Movie-makers are afraid to spend their money on expensive new ideas.
Hollywood is facing big challenges! The film industry is changing fast. Teenagers still go out to movies. The theater is a good place to meet friends away from home. But older people mostly stay home to watch series, like Dynasty. These “soap operas”, as they are called, show rich, powerful families living in beautiful clothes. But the actors and actresses are nearly all middle-aged.
Though soap operas keep the film-makers of Hollywood in business, big films are still being made in America. But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood. New York is the most important new center, and there many other are many others as well. Movie-makers have realized that they don’t need Hollywood any more. They use modem cameras and real houses instead of expensively made copies in a studio. Other states, especially Florida and Texas, are working hard to take the film business away from California. They are offering better working conditions and lower cost.
But Hollywood is fighting back. The state of California is trying hard to keep its best-known industry.

Life is competitive—some kids can do something faster or better than other kids. This might not seem fair, but all people are different and how well you can do something is different to others. This means there are “winners” and “losers”, and lots of people are neither winners nor losers but in-between. You can choose to be a good winner or an even better loser whether you are competing against others or yourself.
Being a “good” winner
No one likes a “show off”.
No one likes someone who takes all the praise for the efforts of a team.
No one likes people who put others down to make themselves look good.
To be a good winner you need to:
◆ Be modest(谦虚的).
◆ Thank those who helped you for their efforts.
◆ Keep trying to improve your skills.
◆ Aim for the next step up in whatever you are doing well.
Being an even better loser
Of course it’s disappointing to lose, especially if you are close to winning. Behaving badly or angrily, name-calling and going on about things being “unfair” won’t change the final result and will only make you look like a bad sporter. And no one likes bad sports either.
To be an even better loser you need to:
◆ Behave politely, nicely and kindly.
◆ Congratulate the other team.
◆ Keep any negative (消极的) thoughts to yourself—at least until you are away from the game.
It’s OK to let out your negative thoughts to your best friend or parents later. And if you don’t do very well in a game, try harder to learn for the next one. Improving yourself makes you a winner too.
66．What can we learn from the first paragraph
A．We are either losers or winners. B．We should face winning or losing properly.
C．We can do nothing about winning or losing. D．We are always competing with others not ourselves.
67．If we succeed, it’s NOT proper to ________.
A．go on improving our skills B．tell our team members to aim higher
C．thank our team members D．put down others to make ourselves look good
68．Who is probably a bad sporter
A．Tom keeps saying the game is unfair when he loses.
B．Jim encourages his teammates after their team loses.
C．Anna thanks her coach for what he has done though she fails.
D．Cindy shows her congratulations to other competitors even if she fails.
69．A better loser should ________ when losing.
A．let out his anger to his parents at once B．express his negative feelings in the game
C．try harder to improve himself in the next game D．behave badly to his team members or competitors
70．What is the passage written for
A．Telling us what we can learn from losing.
B．Offering advice on what we can do to win.
C．Encouraging us to become a winner instead of a loser.
