Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in space The most important thing to remember about living in space is that there is no gravity. That means astronauts can’t do a lot of things that you do easily in your daily life. For example, astronauts can’t pour themselves a cup of juice the way you can. Why Because gravity makes the juice pour from the bottle into your cup. Astronauts can’t rely(依靠) on gravity. Astronauts can’t lie on beds and sleep the way you do because gravity is what holds you to your bed.
So how do astronauts live in space Eating in space is like eating on earth in some ways. Food like rice and mashed(糊状的) potatoes sticks to spoons, so it doesn’t float away. Other foods come in cans or packages(盒). So they don’t float away, either.
There is no gravity in space, so astronauts do not have to sleep on beds or the floor. They can sleep anywhere they want, and they can sleep in any position they want. They usually use sleeping bags. They simply tie their sleeping bags to a wall, or a bed. That way, they don’t float around and bump(撞) into things while they are sleeping.
Astronauts are very busy people. They have jobs to do, and they work very hard. But they also need to relax sometimes. Astronauts usually get to talk to their families on a video call once a week. They also get to stay in touch by email. Astronauts can bring chess and other games with them. Some even bring musical instruments. Astronauts also watch movies and news programmes. Sometimes they talk to schools and news reporters, too. Astronauts may have a lot of work to do, but they also find time for fun.

When I was a child, my parents always told me that I should never talk to strangers.

But if we didn’t start a conversation with strangers, we’d never make new friends. We’d never get a job. We may miss the joy that comes from talking with strangers. The more people you know, the more chances you’ll get. The following passage offers you some advice on how to break the ice.

And there’s a simple rule: Say “Yes” whether you agree with the person’s idea on the weather or not. That’s because the British start a conversation using the weather so that they can continue their talk.
French: Where did you go on holiday To talk with a French person, the safest way is to ask about his or her last holiday. French students enjoy a 10-to-15-day holiday every two months. Most French get more than six weeks of holidays per year.

The population of the world continues to increase, but in some areas the population is falling. This is true in Europe and especially in Eastern Europe. In Russia, the population is going down by about 100 people every hour! In Poland the population is also falling because people are leaving to work in other countries.
One of the main reasons is a change of lifestyle. All over Europe people, especially educated women, have a different attitude to children from their parents. “I have one child and she is enough for me,” said Galina, a doctor from Moscow. Many women decide to have children later in life or not to have children at all. “I don’t want to have any children until I have worked for at least 10 years,” said 19-year-old student Hana from Prague. Her opinion is typical of 18—24-year-old women everywhere in Europe.
In Poland, the population is going down for a different reason. A lot of people, usually aged between 20 and 30, are leaving the country to work abroad. Poland joined the European Union in 2005 and since then more than half a million people have moved to Britain, Germany, Spain and Italy.
Many governments are now encouraging people to have larger families. In France women now receive nearly $1000 a month for a year if they have a third child.

It has been said that good cooking is an art form. The fact is that it’s much more than that. It’s a way to teach kids necessary skills in daily life. It invites kids to make connections to the outside world by asking, “Where does our food come from ” and “What is the history of this recipe (食谱) ” And it lets them use what they are learning at school in their real life.
They also test the math skills of young cooks. Measuring ingredients (成分) is a common task in cooking or baking. Cooking also brings science ideas to life. It is a perfect chance for them to learn that oil and water don’t usually mix.
Besides the useful skills, cooking builds personality (个性). It encourages kids to work with others. It also encourages them to be open to foods they might not haven’t tried. Peter, 12, had never eaten broccoli before testing a recipe with broccoli (花菜) in it. His parents reported that he was so excited about this new ingredient that he cooked it for his family the next night.
Failures in cooking are as important as the successes, because they help kids to understand that. _______ When Helen, an 11-year-old girl, took her cake out of the oven, she was disappointed to find that it was flat as a board. But then she decided to work together with her father to find out what had gone wrong. Both of them kept trying many times until they managed to make the most delicious cake ever in the end.
Of course, the best part of cooking with kids is the wonderful memories you make together in the kitchen. This year, Tom and his family have already done a lot of holiday baking, such as their favorite chocolate-chip cookies. They both felt excited even though the kitchen was in a mess.
47．Is cooking a way to teach kids necessary skills in daily life

Karlsson, a Swedish teacher at Beijing Union University (BUU), has lived in China for over 15 years. The seeds (种子) of his China journey were sown when he joined in a program for East Asian studies at Lund University in Sweden in 1997. Back then, cellphones and the Internet hadn’t yet come into wide use. Learning Chinese meant using textbooks, heavy dictionaries and audio tapes. He would read the dictionary carefully for hours to understand a one-page Chinese article.
“In those days, it was a real challenge,” he said.
In 2006, with a high score in the official Chinese language test, he won a scholarship for a five-week summer program at Beijing Language and Culture University.

Today, thanks to high-speed broadband and 5G, he can connect with students at BUU’s partner universities in Russia, Montenegro or Mexico while riding on the Beijing subway.
“When you open your eyes to these great projects, it is impossible not to want to be part of them or at least support them somehow,” he said.
Although he was busy on teaching days, Karlsson applied for a full-time scholarship at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing. In 2022, at 44 years old, he got his Ph.D．in economics. “I am quite interested in blockchain technology, and I know that China is quickly becoming the leader in blockchain applications outside the cryptocurrency space. So, I always write my articles in this area,” he said.

Zengzi, also called Zeng Shen, became a good student of Confucius（孔子）when he was 16.
Early one morning, Zengzi’s wife left for the market. Her little son wanted to go with her. But he was too young and the market was too far.
Then she cheated（欺骗）her son and said, “I will soon be back. You stay at home and wait for me. If you do as I say, I will kill a pig and make a nice dish for you.” The child went back to the house happily.
When Zengzi’s wife got back from the market, she showed no sign of killing a pig. So Zengzi himself prepared to do that, but his wife rushed to stop him and said, “Don’t do that. I just cheated the child.”
“Honesty（诚实）is the most important thing,” Zengzi said. “Children are like blank（空白的）pieces of paper. They understand nothing but they can learn from their parents’ actions. Because you have cheated your son, he won’t trust you anymore. In the future he will cheat others.”
Hearing her husband’s words, Zengzi’s wife regretted cheating the child. So she wanted to keep her word. She joined Zengzi in killing the pig, and cooked nice dishes for the child. While eating, the boy was happy and thankful to his parents.
One evening, when the child went to bed, he suddenly got up and ran outside. Zengzi asked him where he was going. The boy replied, “I promised I was going to return a toy to a friend today. But I forgot, so I am going to return it now.” The couple exchanged（交换）satisfied smiles, and waited until the boy came back.

September is a big month for students in China since the new term begins from now on. In ancient China, the school entrance ceremony(入学典礼) was one of the most important ceremonies.
Children began school between the ages of 4—7 in ancient China. Since there was no certain time to begin a new term at that time, the most important thing for parents was to choose a lucky day for their children to enter school. Next, parents would prepare some school things for their children, including desks, chairs and four treasures of the study.
In ancient times, teachers were usually very knowledgeable local persons. Parents would prepare many gifts, and then write a letter of invitation to ask a knowledgeable man to be their children’s teacher.
On the day their children entered school, parents would take them to take part in the First Writing Ceremony. Before that, children would kowtow(叩头) to the statue of Confucius(孔子像) 9 times and then to their teacher 3 times to show their deep respect(尊敬). During the ceremony, the teacher would put a red point on the students’ forehead(前额) as it meant opening the wisdom eye. Children would also ring a certain bell to start a new term. After that, they could finally sit down in their seats and begin to study. The First Writing Ceremony was a very important ceremony for every student.
Every day, students would arrive at school earlier than their teacher, and kowtow to the statue of Confucius, and then go back to the seats. Usually the teacher would give every student a new name, which was used for future Imperial Examination(科举考试) .
Today, some schools are starting to hold an entrance ceremony like they did in ancient times. Students put on traditional costumes and bow to the statue of Confucius and their teachers. This means that from this moment, they take a step in the lifelong journey of learning.
76．At what age did children begin school in ancient China
77．List two things parents did for children to enter school in ancient China.
78．Why would children kowtow to the statue of Confucius and their teacher before the First Writing Ceremony
79．What would children do during the First Writing Ceremony

One day, a group of tourists from Australia climbed a large rock in the Central Park of New York City. They took pictures of one another with the high-rise buildings in the background. Like many other tourists, they didn’t realize that high in a nearby tree, there was something more worthy of attention: an eagle-owl (雕鸮) named Flaco.
Earlier that month, the bird Flaco made his great escape (逃跑) from the Central Park Zoo. The zookeepers then tried several times to catch him but were unsuccessful. He seemed to be in no hurry to return to the zoo.
Olga Torrey, a photographer, has been photographing animals in city parks for 12 years. Since Flaco escaped, Torrey has kept a close eye on him. She wondered if he would ever return to the zoo. “Once he gets a taste of freedom, I’m not sure...” she said.
Still, each day spent outside puts Flaco in danger. He might accidentally hit windows and get injured (受伤) while flying. Moreover, the eagle-owl lived his whole life in the zoo in the past. He may not be used to finding food on his own. And if he made a meal of a rat (耗子), it might harm his health—the rat might contain poison (含有毒物).
The zoo has had the workers carefully watch Flaco all the time, as they are worried about his safety. Has Flaco eaten anything today Has he got injured today

阅读短文，根据短文内容，简要回答下列问题。
Days pass by, it seems that daily life will become boring if nothing unexpected happens in our lives. The sense of ceremony (仪式感) from special days keeps our feelings fresh and increases expectations of life.
Mrs Li has two children. Li Xin is her 15-year-old daughter. Li Lei is Li Xin’s brother. He’s older than Li Xin.
A new semester (学期) should begin with a sense of ceremony. On the first day of new term, Li Xin sat in front of the TV and watched the First Class, an educational program of CCTV. The First Class encouraged her to study hard and be a useful person.
Another exciting thing to bring her the sense of ceremony is flag-raising ceremony. On Monday morning, students were dressed in school uniforms and stood in a neat (整齐) line on the playground quietly. While Li Xin was singing along with the national anthem (国歌) and watching the rising flag, the sense of national pride and love for the country came into her heart.
Li Xin will leave junior high school this year. She expects the moving moment of graduation ceremony. She will never forget the important people in her life who helped and supported her—her parents, her teachers and her friends. She will consider what they’ve done for her and hope that they will be proud of her in the future.
As for Li Lei, he can’t wait to grow up, as he can make his own decisions. He always asks a question, “At what age do I really become an adult ” In China, the 18th birthday is a very important event for young people because they can vote (投票) and learn to drive a car, so Mrs Li regards Li Lei’s birthday as a most important event. She will have a big birthday party for her son. Li Lei realizes no matter how old he is, becoming an adult is really about learning how to be independent and responsible.
Every moment to record a meaningful event brings a sense of ceremony and makes our lives colorful.
86．How old is Li Xin
87．What did the First Class encourage Li Xin to do
88．When did Li Xin take part in the flag-raising ceremony
89．Who helped Li Xin during her junior high school
90．Can Li Lei vote and learn to drive a car at the age of 18

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in space The most important thing to remember about living in space is that there is no gravity. That means astronauts can’t do a lot of things that you do easily in your daily life. For example, astronauts can’t pour themselves a cup of juice the way you can. Why Because gravity makes the juice pour from the bottle into your cup. Astronauts can’t rely(依靠) on gravity. Astronauts can’t lie on beds and sleep the way you do because gravity is what holds you to your bed.
So how do astronauts live in space Eating in space is like eating on earth in some ways. Food like rice and mashed(糊状的) potatoes sticks to spoons, so it doesn’t float away. Other foods come in cans or packages(盒). So they don’t float away, either.
There is no gravity in space, so astronauts do not have to sleep on beds or the floor. They can sleep anywhere they want, and they can sleep in any position they want. They usually use sleeping bags. They simply tie their sleeping bags to a wall, or a bed. That way, they don’t float around and bump(撞) into things while they are sleeping.
Astronauts are very busy people. They have jobs to do, and they work very hard. But they also need to relax sometimes. Astronauts usually get to talk to their families on a video call once a week. They also get to stay in touch by email. Astronauts can bring chess and other games with them. Some even bring musical instruments. Astronauts also watch movies and news programmes. Sometimes they talk to schools and news reporters, too. Astronauts may have a lot of work to do, but they also find time for fun.

During the time of Three Kingdoms, there lived a man called Meng Zong. He lost his father when he was a child. When his mother was old and sick, the doctor said that fresh bamboo shoots could save her life. But it was winter, Meng Zong had no idea how he could get them. He went into a bamboo field and cried. His love moved heaven and earth. The ground cracked open. Many bamboo shoots came out. Meng Zong carried them home and made them into a soup for his mother. As soon as she had the soup, she felt much better.
This is one story from the Twenty-four Examples of Filial Piety (孝顺) stories. The stories were chosen and edited by Guo Jujing during the Yuan Dynasty. All the stories are about family conduct (行为) in Chinese history.
In Chinese tradition, filial piety was a very important duty. To be a filial son, one has to completely obey one’s parents during their lifetime. As they grow older, one has to take the best care of them. Today the form of filial piety is a little different from ancient times. People don’t stay in one place for a lifetime. They might study, work and live far away from their parents. The young have their own opinions, which may be different from those of the older generation. But the nature of filial piety remains the same. That is to love our parents and respect the old.

The population of the world continues to increase, but in some areas the population is falling. This is true in Europe and especially in Eastern Europe. In Russia, the population is going down by about 100 people every hour! In Poland the population is also falling because people are leaving to work in other countries.
One of the main reasons is a change of lifestyle. All over Europe people, especially educated women, have a different attitude to children from their parents. “I have one child and she is enough for me,” said Galina, a doctor from Moscow. Many women decide to have children later in life or not to have children at all. “I don’t want to have any children until I have worked for at least 10 years,” said 19-year-old student Hana from Prague. Her opinion is typical of 18—24-year-old women everywhere in Europe.
In Poland, the population is going down for a different reason. A lot of people, usually aged between 20 and 30, are leaving the country to work abroad. Poland joined the European Union in 2005 and since then more than half a million people have moved to Britain, Germany, Spain and Italy.
Many governments are now encouraging people to have larger families. In France women now receive nearly $1000 a month for a year if they have a third child.

45．In France, women receive nearly $1000 a month for a year if they have a third child.
46．The population in Europe is going down (falling)./The reasons for the population falling in Europe.
【导语】本文主要介绍了欧洲一些国家人口下降的现状、原因以及政府为此采取的措施。

It has been said that good cooking is an art form. The fact is that it’s much more than that. It’s a way to teach kids necessary skills in daily life. It invites kids to make connections to the outside world by asking, “Where does our food come from ” and “What is the history of this recipe (食谱) ” And it lets them use what they are learning at school in their real life.
They also test the math skills of young cooks. Measuring ingredients (成分) is a common task in cooking or baking. Cooking also brings science ideas to life. It is a perfect chance for them to learn that oil and water don’t usually mix.
Besides the useful skills, cooking builds personality (个性). It encourages kids to work with others. It also encourages them to be open to foods they might not haven’t tried. Peter, 12, had never eaten broccoli before testing a recipe with broccoli (花菜) in it. His parents reported that he was so excited about this new ingredient that he cooked it for his family the next night.
Failures in cooking are as important as the successes, because they help kids to understand that. _______ When Helen, an 11-year-old girl, took her cake out of the oven, she was disappointed to find that it was flat as a board. But then she decided to work together with her father to find out what had gone wrong. Both of them kept trying many times until they managed to make the most delicious cake ever in the end.
Of course, the best part of cooking with kids is the wonderful memories you make together in the kitchen. This year, Tom and his family have already done a lot of holiday baking, such as their favorite chocolate-chip cookies. They both felt excited even though the kitchen was in a mess.
47．Is cooking a way to teach kids necessary skills in daily life
48．How did Peter feel about the new ingredient
49．Please complete the sentence in paragraph 4.
50．Will you choose to make some cookies with your family like Tom Why or why not
【答案】47．Yes, it is. 48．He was so excited.
They also help kids develop resilience.
50．Yes, I will. Because it not only teaches us basic skills, but it stimulates creativity, encourages us to think critically and learn to cooperate with each other.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了教孩子做饭的必要性，鼓励孩子们学习做饭。
47．根据第一段第三句“It’s a way to teach kids necessary skills in daily life.”可知做饭是教给孩子们日常生活中必要技能的一种方式，故填Yes, it is.
48．根据第三段中的“Peter, 12, had never eaten broccoli before testing a recipe with broccoli in it. His parents reported that he was so excited about this new ingredient that he cooked it for his family the next night.”可知12岁的Peter在尝试用花椰菜做饭之前从未吃过花椰菜。他的父母报告说，他对这种新食材如此兴奋以至于第二天晚上他为家人做了这道菜，故填He was so excited.
49．根据上文“Failures in cooking are as important as the successes, because they help kids to under stand that.”及下文的例子“When Helen, an 11- year- old girl,...Both of them kept trying many times until they managed to make the most delicious cake ever in the end.”可推断此段要阐述的学习做饭的好处是：做饭的失败和成功一样重要，它们也能帮助孩子培养韧性，故填They also help kids develop resilience.
50．开放性作答，合理即可。参考答案为Yes, I will. Because it not only teaches us basic skills, but it stimulates creativity, encourages us to think critically and learn to cooperate with each other.

To respect your decisions is a simple and powerful quality of a person but it’s seldom used. Few people fully respect all his or her decisions, making decisions without really considering whether those decisions are really needed, whether they are correct, or even whether they are possible to complete. Imagine how you will feel if you are able to respect your decisions. You will be determined (坚定的), more creative, more satisfied, and so on.
Although many methods could be written about how to respect your decisions and carry them out, the simplest way to start is by deciding to decide and deciding to respect the decisions yon make! Yes, it’s as simple as that.
Before making a decision, it is a good idea to notice how you feel about what you are considering. Do you feel easy and relaxed about what you are thinking to do If you decide to do something that doesn’t agree with your inner feelings, you will certainly find it difficult to complete the task that you’ve decided to do. In fact you may not even start it! By making sure that the decision agrees with your values first, you should have no difficulties carrying it out.
Respecting your decisions is respecting yourself. If you seldom do what you say, then other people will not trust you, nor will you trust yourself. Very quickly these make you tired, slow and lazy. At this point nearly everything seems like hand work.
To respect your decisions is a great quality to have. By giving importance to your time and energy, you will be able to make wise decisions. You will be known as someone who does what they say they will do. You will be highly respected. You will have a powerful and clear mind. You’ll have one of the greatest attributes (特质) needed for success.
51．What will you be like if you respect your own decisions according to Paragraph 1
52．What should you do before making a decision according to Paragraph 3
53．Why do others no longer trust you according to Paragraph 4
54．How could you make wise decisions according to the last paragraph
55．Give a proper title to the passage.
【答案】51．I will be determined, more creative, more satisfied, and so on.
I should notice how I feel about what I am considering.
Because I seldom do what you say.
By giving importance to your time and energy.
55．To respect your decisions.
【导语】本文主要介绍了要尊重自己的决定，这样会变得更坚定、更有创造力、更满意。
51．根据“Imagine how you will feel if you are able to respect your decisions. You will be determined (坚定的), more creative, more satisfied, and so on.”可知会更坚定、更有创造力、更满意等等。故填I will be determined, more creative, more satisfied, and so on.
52．根据“Before making a decision, it is a good idea to notice how you feel about what you are considering.”可知在做出决定之前，最好注意一下你对自己正在考虑的事情的感受。故填I should notice how I feel about what I am considering.
53．根据“If you seldom do what you say, then other people will not trust you, nor will you trust yourself”可知如果你很少说到做到，那么别人不会信任你。故填Because I seldom do what you say.
54．根据“By giving importance to your time and energy, you will be able to make wise decisions.”可知通过重视你的时间和精力，你将能够做出明智的决定。故填By giving importance to your time and energy.
55．本文主要介绍了要尊重自己的决定，这样会变得更坚定、更有创造力、更满意，故文章可以“To respect your decisions”为标题。故填To respect your decisions.

He would read the dictionary carefully for hours to understand a one-page Chinese article.
“In those days, it was a real challenge,” he said.
In 2006, with a high score in the official Chinese language test, he won a scholarship for a five-week summer program at Beijing Language and Culture University.

When Zengzi’s wife got back from the market, she showed no sign of killing a pig. So Zengzi himself prepared to do that, but his wife rushed to stop him and said, “Don’t do that. I just cheated the child.”
“Honesty（诚实）is the most important thing,” Zengzi said. “Children are like blank（空白的）pieces of paper. They understand nothing but they can learn from their parents’ actions. Because you have cheated your son, he won’t trust you anymore. In the future he will cheat others.”
Hearing her husband’s words, Zengzi’s wife regretted cheating the child. So she wanted to keep her word. She joined Zengzi in killing the pig, and cooked nice dishes for the child. While eating, the boy was happy and thankful to his parents.
One evening, when the child went to bed, he suddenly got up and ran outside. Zengzi asked him where he was going. The boy replied, “I promised I was going to return a toy to a friend today.

September is a big month for students in China since the new term begins from now on. In ancient China, the school entrance ceremony(入学典礼) was one of the most important ceremonies.
Children began school between the ages of 4—7 in ancient China. Since there was no certain time to begin a new term at that time, the most important thing for parents was to choose a lucky day for their children to enter school. Next, parents would prepare some school things for their children, including desks, chairs and four treasures of the study.
In ancient times, teachers were usually very knowledgeable local persons. Parents would prepare many gifts, and then write a letter of invitation to ask a knowledgeable man to be their children’s teacher.
On the day their children entered school, parents would take them to take part in the First Writing Ceremony. Before that, children would kowtow(叩头) to the statue of Confucius(孔子像) 9 times and then to their teacher 3 times to show their deep respect(尊敬). During the ceremony, the teacher would put a red point on the students’ forehead(前额) as it meant opening the wisdom eye. Children would also ring a certain bell to start a new term. After that, they could finally sit down in their seats and begin to study. The First Writing Ceremony was a very important ceremony for every student.
Every day, students would arrive at school earlier than their teacher, and kowtow to the statue of Confucius, and then go back to the seats. Usually the teacher would give every student a new name, which was used for future Imperial Examination(科举考试) .
Today, some schools are starting to hold an entrance ceremony like they did in ancient times. Students put on traditional costumes and bow to the statue of Confucius and their teachers. This means that from this moment, they take a step in the lifelong journey of learning.

77．List two things parents did for children to enter school in ancient China.
78．Why would children kowtow to the statue of Confucius and their teacher before the First Writing Ceremony

One day, a group of tourists from Australia climbed a large rock in the Central Park of New York City. They took pictures of one another with the high-rise buildings in the background. Like many other tourists, they didn’t realize that high in a nearby tree, there was something more worthy of attention: an eagle-owl (雕鸮) named Flaco.
Earlier that month, the bird Flaco made his great escape (逃跑) from the Central Park Zoo. The zookeepers then tried several times to catch him but were unsuccessful. He seemed to be in no hurry to return to the zoo.
Olga Torrey, a photographer, has been photographing animals in city parks for 12 years. Since Flaco escaped, Torrey has kept a close eye on him. She wondered if he would ever return to the zoo. “Once he gets a taste of freedom, I’m not sure...” she said.
Still, each day spent outside puts Flaco in danger. He might accidentally hit windows and get injured (受伤) while flying. Moreover, the eagle-owl lived his whole life in the zoo in the past. He may not be used to finding food on his own. And if he made a meal of a rat (耗子), it might harm his health—the rat might contain poison (含有毒物).
The zoo has had the workers carefully watch Flaco all the time, as they are worried about his safety. Has Flaco eaten anything today Has he got injured today
Well, another day of watching has now begun.
81．Where did Flaco escape from
82．What is Olga Torrey’s job
83．If Flaco made a meal of a rat, what might happen to him
84．Why do the zoo workers keep watching Flaco carefully
85．Should we get Flaco back to the zoo Why or why not
【答案】81．The Central Park Zoo.
A photographer.
His health might be harmed.
Because they are worried about his safety.
85．Yes, because Falco may not be used to the life outside the zoo.
【导语】本文主要讲述了从中央公园动物园逃离出去的一只名为Flaco的雕鸮。大家都在担心Flaco是否会受伤，是否能成功觅食，是否会误吃了含有毒物的老鼠等，摄影师Olga Torrey和动物园的员工们都在密切留意着Flaco。
81．根据“Earlier that month, the bird Flaco made his great escape from the Central Park Zoo.”可知，Flaco是从中央公园动物园逃离出去的。故填The Central Park Zoo.
82．根据“Olga Torrey, a photographer, has been photographing animals in city parks for 12 years.”可知，Olga Torrey是一个摄影师。故填A photographer.
83．根据“And if he made a meal of a rat, it might harm his health”可知，如果Flaco吃了老鼠，那可能会损害他的健康。故填His health might be harmed.
84．根据“The zoo has had the workers carefully watch Flaco all the time, as they are worried about his safety.”可知，因为动物园的工作人员们担心Flaco的安全，所以他们一直密切留意着他。故填Because they are worried about his safety.
85．开放性问题，回答言之有理即可。如根据“Moreover, the eagle-owl lived his whole life in the zoo in the past. He may not be used to finding food on his own.”可知，Flaco一直生活在动物园里，他可能不习惯自己去觅食，如果Flaco独自生活在外面，他可能会不习惯外面的环境，从而无法生存下去，所以我们应该把Flaco送回动物园。故填Yes, because Falco may not be used to the life outside the zoo.

Days pass by, it seems that daily life will become boring if nothing unexpected happens in our lives. The sense of ceremony (仪式感) from special days keeps our feelings fresh and increases expectations of life.
Mrs Li has two children. Li Xin is her 15-year-old daughter. Li Lei is Li Xin’s brother. He’s older than Li Xin.
A new semester (学期) should begin with a sense of ceremony. On the first day of new term, Li Xin sat in front of the TV and watched the First Class, an educational program of CCTV. The First Class encouraged her to study hard and be a useful person.
Another exciting thing to bring her the sense of ceremony is flag-raising ceremony. On Monday morning, students were dressed in school uniforms and stood in a neat (整齐) line on the playground quietly. While Li Xin was singing along with the national anthem (国歌) and watching the rising flag, the sense of national pride and love for the country came into her heart.
Li Xin will leave junior high school this year. She expects the moving moment of graduation ceremony. She will never forget the important people in her life who helped and supported her—her parents, her teachers and her friends. She will consider what they’ve done for her and hope that they will be proud of her in the future.
As for Li Lei, he can’t wait to grow up, as he can make his own decisions. He always asks a question, “At what age do I really become an adult ” In China, the 18th birthday is a very important event for young people because they can vote (投票) and learn to drive a car, so Mrs Li regards Li Lei’s birthday as a most important event. She will have a big birthday party for her son. Li Lei realizes no matter how old he is, becoming an adult is really about learning how to be independent and responsible.
Every moment to record a meaningful event brings a sense of ceremony and makes our lives colorful.
