①December 20,2024 marks the 25th anniversary of Macao’s return to China.
②Macao, a beautiful city located on the southern coast of China, has a rich history dating back hundreds of years. It was an important trading port during the Ming and Qing dynasties, serving as a window for cultural exchanges between China and the West.

There is a time in every boy’s life when he wants to go and dig for treasure. And that time came for Tom.
So, one hot summer’s day, he went to find Huck...
There were holes in the floor, and through them the boys could see into the rooms downstairs.
“No,” Tom whispered. “It’s two men. One is the old Spaniard. He came to live in the village last week. I don’t know the other man. Sh! Let’s listen to them.”
The two men sat down on the floor. The Spaniard had a green hat and long white hair; the other man was small and dark. He took out a bag and began to open it.
“It’s hot here,” the Spaniard said. He took off his green hat and then he took off his long white hair!
“Tom!” Huck whispered upstairs. “That’s Injun Joe!”
“We took six hundred and fifty dollars when we robbed that house,” said the second man. He took some money out of the bag. “We can take fifty dollars with us now. What are we going to do with the six hundred ”
“Leave it here,” said Injun Joe. “We can come back and get it next week. Here, give me the bag.”
He walked across the room to the fireplace, moved two big stones from the floor, and began to dig with his knife.
Upstairs, the two boys watched excitedly. Treasure! Six hundred dollars of wonderful treasure!
Injun Joe stopped digging. “Hello, what’s this ” he said. “There’s something here. It’s an old box.”
The two men got the box out and opened it.
“It’s money!” said Injun Joe’s friend.
Injun Joe put his hand into the box. “There are thousands of dollars here!” he said, and the two men looked at the money with happy smiles.

“Don’t ask,” Injun Joe said. “It’s our money now.”
“We can’t take it with us today,” said his friend. “What can we do with it Put it back under the floor ”
“Yes,” said Injun Joe.（Happy faces upstairs.）“No! （Very unhappy faces upstairs.） Let’s put it under the cross— nobody goes there. We can take it there tonight.”

In the entire animal world, birds are the only living creatures with feathers. They are warm-blooded, like mammals. There are about 9,000 different kinds of birds living in all parts of the world. They include exotic, colorful birds such as parrots, garden birds such as robins and thrushes, water birds such as ducks, sea birds such as puffins and penguins, and many more. The tiny bee hummingbird is one of the world’s smallest birds. It measures about 2 inches（5cm） from beak to tail and is so light that 17 bee hummingbirds weigh only 1 oz（28g）. A bee hummingbird is so small that it could fit in the palm of your hand. The ostrich, which is more than 8 feet （2.5m）tall, is the world’s largest bird, but it cannot fly at all. The ostrich head looks huge in comparison to a tiny bee hummingbird.
① . These birds have large, powerful chest muscles to allow them to flap their wings. Their bones are light, which assists them during flight. Feathers are light, too. They protect the bird’s body and keep it warm. Wing feathers fit together to form a smooth, airtight surface for gliding. Tail feathers provide balance and help the bird steer in midair.
② . A few birds, however, cannot fly. Flightless or nearly flightless birds include ostriches, penguins, and the rare kakapo, a kind of parrot from New Zealand.
Birds do not have teeth, which would be too heavy; instead, they have a strong, light bill, or beak. Most birds, particularly eagles and other birds of prey, have good eyesight and hearing. Their sense of smell, however, is poor.
③ . A bird’s feathers are called its plumage. Some birds, such as the wren and the sparrow, have brown plumage for camouflage. Other birds have plumage with dazzling colors and patterns. It is usually the males that have bright plumage, to help them attract a mate during the breeding season. The distinctive coloring also helps the members of a flock stay together.
Most of the bones in a bird’s skeleton are hollow, with tiny, honeycombed holes, to save body weight. Wings are controlled by powerful muscles attached to the keel, which is a ridge along the edge of the breast-bone.
④ . Most of a bird’s body is taken up by the muscles, heart, lungs, and digestive system. Birds have two stomachs. The first stomach, the crop, stores food; the second, the gizzard, grinds the food to a pulp.
46．Which of the following statements about birds is true
A．17 bee hummingbirds are not as heavy as 1 oz（28g）.
B．Birds are the only living creatures with feathers and fur.
C．Most birds have a poor sense of smell but excellent eyesight and hearing.
D．Birds have heavy bones that make them unable to glide or soar in the air.
47．We’ d better put the sentence “Most birds are born masters of flying.” in ______.
A．① B．② C．③ D．④
48．Why do some birds have bright feathers
A．To protect the bird’s body and keep it warm.
B．To help stay away from the members of a flock.
C．To provide balance and help the bird steer in midair.
D．To catch the mate’s attention during the breeding season.
49．What does the underlined word “hollow” in Paragraph 6 probably mean
A．Soft. B．Strong. C．Empty inside. D．Smooth-edged.
50．The passage can usually be read in the part of. ______ in a magazine.
A．Culture B．Health C．Business D．Nature

Spring Festival gains global recognition
The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization （UNESCO） added China’s Spring Festival to its list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity（人类非物质文化遗产）. This happened at a big meeting called the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage on December 4, 2024. Now, China has 44 traditions listed, making it the country with the most traditions on the list.
The Spring Festival, also known as Chinese New Year, is a very important festival in China and around the world. Being added to the UNESCO list means that people recognize not only its Chinese origins but also the ideas it carries, which connect all people.
The Spring Festival shows China’s desire for peace and harmony. It brings good wishes for the future and supports values like including everyone in society and having a good relationship with nature.
Family is the most important part of the Spring Festival. Chinese people value their families and the strong bonds they share. This love extends to their communities, their nation, and beyond. That’s why millions of people travel home for the festival, creating the biggest human migration on Earth.
Celebrations for the Spring Festival last for 15 days and end with the Lantern Festival. During this time, families gather, enjoy feasts, and participate in various cultural activities.
Food is a big part of the Spring Festival. From dumplings to sticky rice cakes, and from fried meatballs to fish, all dishes carry good wishes for people’s loved ones. Wherever you are in China, from north to south, you can find special foods for the festival.
The Spring Festival includes many traditions and stories. For example, people once used fireworks and red decorations to scare away a mythical beast called “nian” that was thought to hurt people and animals at the beginning of the new year. The beast was afraid of loud noises and the color red.
Today, people still hang red lanterns, set off fireworks, and put New Year couplets on their doors during the Spring Festival. They hope these traditions will keep away bad spirits and bring good luck.
Many of these celebrations have been passed down from generation to generation and are practiced in China, Asia, and other places.
