When Wu Jiayu was in the fourth grade, he learned to raise silkworms（蚕） as his teacher asked. Then he wondered, “Can I raise butterflies ” After he searched online, he decided to have a try. Now the 13-year-old boy from Nanjing. Jiangsu, is good at raising caterpillars（毛毛虫）.
There are four stages of butterflies’ growth: egg（卵）, larva（幼虫） or caterpillar, chrysalis（蛹）and butterfly. Wu starts raising them from the larva stage. He usually puts 10 caterpillars together into a plastic box and feeds them some leaves once a day. “The leaves are not just their food, but their resting place,” Wu said. The caterpillars need water, too. “I once saw them fight for water! Now I prepare the water for each one.” He also cleans their waste once a day.
After about a month, the caterpillars will become chrysalises. Now, they don’t need any food or water. The key is to leave them untouched. After another month, the most exciting stage comes—emergence（羽化）! This stage happens very quickly—within one minute to 10 minutes. “When I saw their wings spread in just about one minute, I am so excited! All my hard work paid off.”
However, not all chrysalises can become butterflies easily. Once, Wu saw a chrysalis that could not spread its wings after over 10 minutes of trying. He thought it failed. However, after a while, it did it!”
“I was amazed by the power of life,” he said. “Every butterfly finishes its emergence on its own. It teaches me to be more independent and not to give up easily.”
44．How many stages are there during the growth of butterflies
A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six.
45．According to Paragraph 2, what does Wu do once a day for caterpillars
A．He feeds them some leaves and gives them water. B．He feeds them some leaves and cleans their waste.
C．He cleans their waste and gives them water. D．He cleans their waste and washes the leaves.
46．The underlined words “paid off” in Paragraph 3 mean “______” in Chinese.
A．还清债务 B．白费力气 C．有所收获 D.支付款项
47．What can we infer from this passage
A．Every butterfly can finish its emergence by itself.
B．It’s not difficult for caterpillars to become butterflies.
C．It takes only a month for Wu Jiayu to see butterflies.
D．Wu Jiayu may become braver when he has difficulties.

①
The Chinese Lantern Festival is also called Yuan Xiao Festival. It takes place at the end of the Spring Festival. It is celebrated in China and other Asian countries. On this day, families eat yuanxiao, wear beautiful clothes and watch beautiful lanterns（灯笼） and shows on the street. It is a way for people to welcome the good luck in the new year.
②
The festival is on the 15th day of the first lunar month of the Chinese New Year. The exact date of the festival can change from year to year. In 2023, it’s on 5th February; in 2024, the date will be 24th February.
③
The festival dates back more than 2000 years ago. Emperor Han Wen Di saw the monks（和尚）lighting lanterns at the end of the Spring Festival, so he ordered people to light（点亮） lanterns in houses and royal palaces on this night. From then on, the Lantern Festival started to be official.
There is another saying. The Jade Emperor（玉皇大帝） was angry with a town for killing a bird. He wanted to set fire to the town. A fairy（仙女） knew it and told the people of the town to light lanterns. The Jade Emperor believed the town was already on fire, so he did not go through with his plan. Finally, the town was saved. From them on, people light lanterns on that day to thank the fairy.
48．According to Paragraph 1, the following poems describe the festival EXCEPT ______.

①Did you know that 24,500,000 tons of small E-waste was thrown away in 2022 That’s four times the weight of the Great Pyramid of Giza（吉萨金字塔）!
②Do you have a cupboard somewhere in your home full of old phones, remote controls and headphones If you do, you are not the only one. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment （WEEE）, which did a survey, hopes that more people will recycle their unused items.
③WEEE discovered that the average household had 74 electronic items（电子产品）, includingMP3s, U disks, DVDs, remote controls, phones, e-toothbrushes, earphones and more. Of these 74 items, 13 are being hoarded（闲置的）. One of the most hoarded items is mobile phones. There are now around 16 billion mobile phones in the world, but 5.3 billion of them became waste in 2022!
④People gave many reasons for these hoarded items. Some of them are broken or simply unused. Others are kept because people think “I might use it again” and “I didn’t know how to dispose of it”. And the most interesting reason is that some people forget to use such things! Different reasons, but the same result—the hoarded items are still in house, not being sold, thrown away, or recycled.
⑤WEEE thinks it’s a waste of precious metals（金属）. Items like phones are full of gold, silver and copper. These metal s are expensive and have to be mined（开采） from the deep underground. It’s a pity that these metals are not used to make other electronic items.
⑥WEEE also worries about the pollution. If the items are not dealt with correctly, it may cause big problems to the air, land or even drinking water. People may get sick because of the pollution, just like the case in Hinkley.

A．People forget to use the items. B．People think they might use them again.

Summer in your country may not be the same as summer in other countries. Summer is different all around the world!
Summer happens at different times in different places. In the Northern Hemisphere, the half of the Earth above the equator（赤道）, summer is in the months of June, July and August. But in the Southern hemisphere, the half of the Earth below the equator, summer happens in December, January and February. So when Chinese people are enjoying their summer wearing shorts and T-shirts, the Australians are having a cold time with heavy clothes on.
The time the sun rises and sets is different around the world, too. In places that are in the extreme north or south of the Earth （such as the North Pole）, you can see the sun 24 hours a day during summer! This is called the ‘midnight sun’ because you can see the sun at midnight （even at 1: 00 am） during the summer.
The weather can be different in summer as well. In countries with tropical climates, such as Thailand or Singapore, the weather in summer is very hot and humid with lots of rain. In countries like Spain, things are different. The temperature can be very high. It’s not surprising to be over 40℃. And there is little rain in Spain. But summer is not always hot. In some countries like Iceland, the average summer temperature is around 15℃.
Even the sounds of summer are different! In some countries such as China, you can hear the really loud buzzing sound of Cicadas（蝉） all summer long.
Summer traditions are also different all around the world. And in Mexico, people eat ice hollies called paletas that can be made from fruits such as strawberry, mango and stuff. In Japan, people eat flavored shaved ice（刨冰） called Kakigori and cold noodles in the hot summer weather.

We all use our teeth to eat food every day. Do you know the types of your teeth Let’s read together to find out!
There are 90 types of teeth in total in our mouths. Each type has a special purpose（目的） for eating.
Molars（磨牙）
If we open our 91 really wide, we’ll see our eight molars. They are even stronger and bigger than others because they are the last teeth to cut food. What about wisdom teeth（智齿） Actually, they are also called the third molars because they are a type of molar. The average adult has four wisdom teeth. 92 are in the back of the mouth. You can’t see them now because they normally show up at the age 93 17 and 25 years old.
Incisors（切牙）
Our front teeth and the teeth on either side of them are incisors. There are four in the upper jaw and four in the lower jaw. They are used for cutting food 94 they are sharp.
Canines（尖牙）
The four teeth beside our incisors are canine teeth. They can tear food apart because they are pointy（尖的） and sharp. It’s said that they are the 95 teeth of all, almost as hard as the rocks.
Premolars（前磨牙）
Next to our canine teeth are our premolars. We have eight premolars in all, four on top and four on the bottom. They are different from incisors and canines because they help to chew（咀嚼） food into pieces.
Teeth are really important, so we should take good care of them. 96 your teeth twice a day for two minutes each time. Some people believe we should brush the teeth as many times as possible. 97 , that’s not true. Correctly brushing your teeth can keep your smile fresh, healthy, and beautiful.
