Cleats； Cleats are shoes with plastic or rubber pegs (钉子) on their bottom. The small parts dig into and grip the ground. A cheetah’s claws (爪) always stick out a little, so they’re always ready to go. The tips of the cheetah’s claws dig in and help it run and turn—just like your cleats!
Skis Skis are long and flat. They’re made of plastic and metal. Their smooth bottoms move over snow and ice. A penguin can’t walk fast. When it needs to travel over snow and ice, it uses its smooth stomach instead. The penguin lies on its stomach and pushes itself forward with its feet.
Goggles We don’t see clearly underwater. Swim goggles keep a pocket of air around our eyes. Then we see through air, just like we do on the land. A dolphin’s eyes have a different shape than ours. They see clearly underwater and can make a quick change after lifting their heads.

①With most people staying at home because of COVID-19, live streaming (直播) has become more and more popular. It is not only fun and interesting, but has also provided a new stage (舞台) for traditional culture artists.
②On video sites and apps such as Douyin and Bilibili, many traditional artists are trying live streaming for the first time. Some of them sing Peking Opera, some show their hand-made products, while others perform classical Chinese music.
③Li Jun is a laosheng (old male role) Peking Opera performer with the Shanghai Jingju Theater Company. During the outbreak, the 59-year-old started live streaming for the first time. Unlike performing on a formal stage, Li uses everyday places as his stage, including his backyard, study room, and even the kitchen. Besides singing, Li also teaches viewers about Peking Opera in a humorous way.
④People can ask him questions and get answers directly. “Live streaming has brought this elegant (高雅的) art down to earth,” one viewer said. “It allows young people to get closer to this traditional art and learn more about it.” Up to now Li has more than 6, 000 fans on Douyin, while one of his videos has received 42, 000 views on Bilibili.
⑤Other kinds of artists also see live streaming as a new opportunity. On March 26, the third China Huafu Day, Bilibili live streamed a fashion show. Performers presented beautiful clothes in traditional Chinese styles, including those from the Wei (220—265), Tang (618—907) and Ming (1368—1644) dynasties. During the show, viewers not only enjoyed seeing the clothes but also watching how performers use ancient styles of make-up. For example, one blogger taught people how to draw the guiye eyebrow (桂叶眉) which was a typical make-up style during the Tang Dynasty.

Every now and then you may see news of satellites sent into space. On Feb 21, for example, US company Space X took 46 satellites into orbit(轨道). On Feb 27, China sent 22 satellites into space. Why do we need so many satellites What do they do out there
At present, there are more than 3,000 active satellites moving around the Earth, according to Statista, a German company working on market data. Satellites do all kinds of work, from sending TV signals to giving you directions on the road to helping scientists do research.
For example, the 22 satellites China just sent up are part of the Beidou Navigation Satellite System(北斗卫星导航系统). Shared bikes that use BeiDou chips(芯片) can have more accurate(精准的) positioning, so people will find them easily. Drones(无人机) can also use BeiDou to fly.
Before satellites, TV signals didn’t go very far. Mountains or tall buildings would stop them. Phone calls to faraway places were also a problem. Setting up telephone wires (线) over long distances is difficult. With satellites, TV signals and phone calls can be sent directly to a satellite and back down to different places on Earth. SpaceX’s Starlink project is trying to go further. It plans to use satellites to provide internet in the future.
Satellites can also provide information about clouds, oceans, land and ice. They help scientists predict changes in weather and climate. By watching and checking wildfires and volcanoes, satellites help emergency workers deal with natural disasters. Farmers can use satellite pictures to decide the best time to water their fields.
Some satellites fly near other planets. They may look for water on Mars or take close-up pictures of Saturn’s rings(土星环). In 2020, video website Bilibili sent a satellite into space. Its job is to look at other planets and share the pictures and videos with Bilibili’s users.
8．What does the writer want to express in Paragraph 1
A．The US has the most satellites in space.
B．China has 22 satellites in space altogether.
C．Humans have sent many satellites into space.
D．There is a serious competition between China and the US.
9．The satellites for the Beidou system can help ________.

Want to sleep under the sea The company Planet Ocean has plans for an exciting underwater hotel, which they hope to build in locations all over the world.
The hotel won’t be large, with only 12 guest rooms and a restaurant. Guests will get to the hotel in a lift — so no diving or getting wet! The hotel will float 10 meters under the ocean, although it will be attached to the seabed to prevent it from moving too far. Because it won’t be very deep under the water, the sun will shine down and provide light. Guests will get great close-up views of the fish and other sea creatures (生物), which won’t be disturbed (干扰) by the hotel and so won’t make any effort to avoid it.
The hotel’s design, with walls made of clear plastic (塑料), means that when you are in your room, behind you, above and below you. You will almost get the feeling that you are swimming in the ocean. The fantastic rooms will have excellent facilities (设备), TV and even the Internet. The restaurant will serve high quality meals. However, Planet Ocean wants to encourage people to eat less fish, so you will have to imagine the sound of the ocean around you.
The hotel won’t be cheap to build, and it won’t be cheap to stay in. But the designers are especially proud of the fact that it will be environmentally friendly. It will use electricity, of course, and won’t disturb ocean life at all. In fact, the designers hope some sea creatures will build their homes on parts of the building, which will bring real benefits to the underwater world.

This is a light-hearted book filled with colorful pictures. The book mainly tells that all feelings are OK, which is important for children to understand. This is a great introduction to talking about feelings. The funny pictures and simple words are perfect for young children.
This book is more likely to catch boys’ attention, although girls may enjoy it too. The basic message is that everyone has feelings. The pictures in this book are of superheroes that look disappointed, sad, embarrassed and so on. The final page is beautiful: a dad and his little son are reading together. They’re tough guys “who love each other very much”.
This book invites children to imagine that everyone carries a bucket（桶） filled with good feelings. We can help fill people’s buckets by doing kind things. One of the many good things about the book is that it talks about the fact that we should fill our own buckets by taking care of ourselves. It also talks about the fact that doing nice things for people makes us feel good.
The three books can help you teach your children about their feelings and how to manage them. As a primary school teacher, I’ve used them to teach my students about different feelings. Helping children learn to express and manage their feelings can lead to an increase in confidence（自信心）.

We build towns for people to live in. But what happens when they don’t want to live in them any longer All over the world there are ghost towns, where people don’t live any more. Here are a few.
In 1908, many Germans arrived in Luderitz in the southern African country of Namibia. They wanted to look for diamonds (钻石) and they found a lot. With the money from the diamonds they built the town of Kolmanskop. It had lots of beautiful buildings, a hospital, a school, and even a theatre. But when there weren’t any more diamonds, they left the town. These days the only things that visitors to Kolmanskop see are empty buildings and a lot of sand.
In 1978, a building company started building a holiday resort (度假胜地) in the Sanzhi District of New Taipei City. For the next two years they built a lot of round buildings. They didn’t look like normal houses, but more like spaceships. People called them the “UFO houses”. In 1980, they stopped building the houses because there wasn’t enough money and for 28 years the resort was a ghost town. However, no one can visit this city today because in 2008 they took down all the buildings. All we can see now are photos of these strange looking houses.
In Northern Brazil, there is the ghost town of Fordlandia. In 1928, Henry Ford—famous for his cars—decided to build a big factory there to make car tyres (轮胎). He also built houses for the workers and their families. Unluckily, the weather in the area wasn’t good for growing the trees they needed to make tyres. Ford tried to make the city a success but it was difficult. In 1945, his grandson Henry Ford II sold Fordlandia. The company lost $20 million. The empty buildings of the town are still there today.
About 70 years ago, Centralia was a busy town in Pennsylvania, USA．It had five hotels, seven churches and 19 big stores. In 1962, a fire started under the town at an old mine (矿). They spent millions of dollars trying to stop it but that didn’t work. It became too dangerous to live there and everyone had to leave the town. These days a sign across the road to the town tells people to “stay out”. The fire is still burning today.
33．Why should people “stay out” in the town Centralia
A．People have left the town empty. B．The fire is still burning at a mine.
C．The town is too busy and crowded. D．People should spend much more money living there.
34．It can be inferred (推断) from the passage that ________ .
A．people built Kolmanskop in order to put more diamonds
B．people can still see “UFO houses” in Sanzhi District today
C．people couldn’t grow the trees they needed well to make tyres in Fordlandia
D．people put out the fire at the mine in Centralia 70 years ago and live happily today
35．What’s the purpose of the article

Most people ride the bus to get from point A to point B, but riders taking a new route in Hong Kong are only interested in sleeping. Ulu Travel Agency, a tour company in Hong Kong, has designed a five-hour bus journey especially for passengers to sleep as much as they want. Tickets for the first tour on Oct. 16 sold out right away, the Washington Post reported.
Many people find it easy. But why According to a website, there are several possible reasons.
White noise
White noise is a kind of noise made by sounds with different frequencies (频率) together. Buses are often crowded every day with people going to and from work. Therefore, they are the perfect environment for white noise. They make continuing noises. White noise makes people feel relaxed and helps them sleep.
Rocking movement
Another popular view on why it’s easy to fall asleep on buses is because of the rocking movement. “The movement of buses feels like a mother shaking a baby in her arms. It is very comfortable,” Frankie Chow, the founder of Ulu Travel Agency, told the Washington Post.
When you were a baby, you were rocked to sleep. That makes you connect the rocking movement with sleeping. Sitting on a bus gives people similar experiences. That’s why you want to sleep. It’s the rocking movement that induces sleep.
Long periods of inactivity
On buses, you don’t move around very much. You just sit down and enjoy the scenery as the bus moves along the road. Basically, you’re away from the things that keep your mind and your physical body busy. This inactivity also slows your brain activity down because there’s no stimulus (刺激物) to keep it awake.
Increase in carbon dioxide
Buses often get crowded with people going to and from work. Carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) increases when there are lots of people in a small place. The thinner oxygen (氧气) slows the brain down, causing people to feel sleepy.
37．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A．To fall asleep. B．To ride a bus. C．To design a journey. D．To buy a ticket.
38．Which statement is right about white noise
A．It is useless for people to get to sleep. B．It is the sound with the same frequency.
C．It is connected with the rocking movement. D．It is the continuing noise which can relax people.
39．What does the underlined word “induces” in Paragraph 5 mean
A．stops B．causes C．lowers D．avoids
40．What can we learn from the passage
A．The buses for sleeping are popular.
B．When you are rocked, it’s hard to fall asleep.
C．The moving scenery outside is helpful for sleep.
D．The thinner carbon dioxide inside the bus makes people sleepy.
There was a park near my home. But I didn’t go there very often. Many people said there was nothing special. One afternoon I went into the park and found it was really small. I walked quickly and found myself standing in front of two paths (小径).
“Which way should I go ” I asked myself. I looked at one way, then the other.
The left one was wide and clean. There were lots of flowers on both sides of the path. Though the flowers weren’t very beautiful, they made me feel good. I decided to take this path. But wait! I looked at the right one. The path didn’t look nice. It seemed it had not been cleaned for months. Grass grew everywhere. For a long time I couldn’t make up my mind.
After a while, a strange feeling made me follow the dirty path. It wasn’t nice, but I didn’t want to give up. At last, I came to the end of the path. Ah! There was a small garden there. It was beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful garden I had ever seen. There were trees, flowers and chairs. I thought it was the nicest part of the park.
Many people told me that there was nothing much to see in the park. Now I’d like to tell them that if they had followed the right way, they would have felt differently. But when I told them about what I had seen in the park, they just smiled at me without saying a word. ________________. They couldn’t even remember that path because it was so small.
My trip to the park that day made me understand something about life. Don’t be afraid to choose a different path. You may get a big surprise!
41．The writer saw ________ when she came to the end of the path.
A．two different paths B．many people smiling at her
