Poems play with sound, words and grammar. They use colors, feelings, and experiences to paint a picture in your mind. Spring is a fine season. It lights up people’s feelings and brings hope. Read the following poems.

How many are the fallen flowers ——Translated by Xu Yuanchong Spring (By Thomas Nashe, UK)Spring, the sweet spring, is the year’s pleasant king, Then blooms (开花) each thing, and girls dance in a ring. Cold a bit not sting (刺痛), the pretty birds do sing, Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo! (An excerpt)
The first poem might be one of the most famous poems about spring in China. It’s simple and easy to keep in mind. Meng writes about more detailed information of the season, including the weather, birds and even sounds. Thomas Nashe’s poem celebrates the coming of spring. As spring comes, everything seems to grow actively. Just as a Chinese saying goes, “A year’s plan starts with spring.”

You like rats You must be kidding. Everyone hates rats. But rats may soon be man’s new good friend.
What happens after an earthquake We send in rescue（营救，救援） dogs. Why Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.
How does it work First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat’s brain gives a signal. This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.
Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. “Robots’ noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that Rats can also see in the dark, they are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don’t need electricity!”
The “rat project” is not finished, but a scientist says, “It would be great. A rat could get into spaces we couldn’t get to, and a rat would get out if it wasn’t safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).
34．Where do you think you can find this passage
A．In a history book. B．In an advertisement.
C．In a magazine about toys. D．In a newspaper about science.
35．In the writer’s opinion, rats may become man’s new friend because ________.
A．they are lovely
B．they can be food for people
C．they can help rescue people after an earthquake
D．they can completely replace man’s rescue jobs
36．Which of the following is NOT true
A．Rats don’t need electricity.
B．Rats are as clever as radios.
C．Rats are better than robots when smelling.
D．Rats can see things in the dark when doing rescues.
37．Which is the best title of this passage

C．Rescue dogs D．Rats for rescue
These days, more and more Chinese people enjoy sending and receiving messages on the phone. It can help them to get the latest news and communicate with friends.

Read only what you are interested in
No matter what you are reading, it is important to enjoy what you read. Your friends may tell you the books they love, but those books might not necessarily be the ones you enjoy.
Give up books that you don't enjoy
You may have chosen-books that you are interested in, and they are right to your purpose. But while you are reading them, there may still be some books that you don't enjoy reading. Whenever you realize that you aren't enjoying the book you are reading, give it up. Remember reading shouldn't be a chore.
Set a reading goal
It is interesting that I read the books borrowed from libraries faster than those I bought. The reason is the books I bought don't have a due date! I don't need to return those books. Having a reading goal helps you work out how much reading you need to do in a week or even a day. Before you read each book, ask yourself what time you need to complete this book by.

Flamingos are tall, mostly pink birds with long legs. But they aren’t actually born pink. They are grey or white, and turn pink over the first couple of years of their lives.
Have you ever heard the saying “you are what you eat” Well, flamingos are just that. In the wild, flamingos feed on shrimp, small clams, fish, insects, and algae (藻类). Yum! These foods, especially the algae, are rich in carotenoids (类胡萝卜素). Inside a flamingo’s body, carotenoids are changed into a red-orange pigment (色素) that turns its feathers pink.
Before scientists understood that flamingos got their colour from their food, zookeepers puzzled over why the pink birds turned white in zoos. Now they feed flamingos a diet rich in carotenoids and vitamins to keep their birds “in the pink”.
Still, flamingos fade when caring for their babies. Unlike their chicks, mama and papa birds don’t eat much. This makes the pigment stored in their feathers become less and less, so they lose colour.
If a flamingo eats blueberries, will it turn blue Dr. Kevin McGraw, who studies feather colour in birds at Arizona State University, guesses if a flamingo eats enough blueberries, it would probably still turn pink, not blue! That’s because the pigments that make blueberries blue, are changed into colourless chemicals in the bird’s body. But blueberries also have a small number of carotenoids. So they would probably lightly colour the feathers pink.
42．What colour are flamingos when they are born
A．Pink. B．Blue. C．Grey or white. D．Yellow.
43．Which of the followings is/are rich in carotenoids
A．The algae. B．Blueberries. C．Apples. D．Milk.
44．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “fade” in paragraph 4
A．Turn brighter. B．Lose colour. C．Get tired. D．Get hungry.
45．What can we learn from the text
A．Zookeepers first found out why flamingos are pink.
B．The red-orange pigment is stored in the flamingo’s skin.
C．There are no carotenoids in blueberries.
D．The flamingo is the best example of “you are what you eat”.
四、单词拼写
46．My parents ask me not to (接受) strangers’ food.
47．How (令人激动的) the science lesson is!
48．I hope that you can (接受) my invitation and come to my party.
49．I can enjoy (新鲜的) vegetables when I visit my grandparents.
50．Jimmy went to Shanghai Disneyland last weekend and he wants to (描述) what he saw to his classmates.

You may think that because our dogs have “for coats”, they are always good at keeping t 51 warm in winter. But our dogs can get a cold in winter too! L 52 there are lots of things you can do to help your dog keep warm during winter.
If you want to know how to keep dogs warm in winter, first you should learn when it’s too cold for dogs to go o 53 . This means knowing what the temperature （温度）outside is.

We should never make a dog sleep outdoors. A 55 animals, dogs like to stay with people and want to be close to their family. It is i 56 to have dogs sleep indoors during winter months to keep them warm. If your dog is very sensitive （敏感的）to the cold, even when staying inside, you should p 57 a warm bed for your dog.
Some dogs just love to play in the s 58 in winter when it snows, but you should limit （限制）outdoor playtime during winter. Just like human children, dogs can keep playing and f 59 their body temperature. The warmest times of the day are when the sun is up, so let them walk or play outside only when the sun is up.
There is something we should always remember: Even you’re just going to be in the shop for five minutes, never leave your dog in your car a 60 . This goes for winter, summer, spring and fall.
六、任务型阅读
People call lions the kings of the animal world. Lions usually live in the wild in Africa and India. Lions in Africa can go without water for up to one month, so they have no trouble if there is no water for a long time.
Without question, lions are also one of the most popular animals in zoos. Almost every zoo around the world has a few lions. It is very easy for people to tell male(雄性) and female(雌性) lions. Lions are the only kind of cat that shows this strong difference between males and females. A male lion has a mane, a large collar of hair around its face. Female do not have manes. Male lions are also larger than females. A male lion usually weighs about 200 kilograms. Both male and female lions have very strong mouths. They can break the backs of animals with one bite. One lion will usually kill between one and twenty animals each year for food.
It is unusual for lions to kill people. However, in 1898 two lions killed and ate over one hundred people in Kenya before an Englishman named P. J. Patterson killed them. Many years later, a 1996 Hollywood movie called The Ghost and the Darkness told this story.
根据短文内容，回答下列问题。（每题答案不超过6个单词）
61．What are lions called by people
62．How long can a lion live without water
63．How many large animals does a lion usually kill for food in one year
