Chicken eggs are just thin shells (壳), but you may be surprised at how strong they are. Let's do an experiment.
What you need * Four eggs *Sharp scissors *Tape (胶带) *A bowl * Phone books or hardcover books What you do Step l: Dig a hole in the small end of each egg and make it larger to pour the eggs into the bowl. They are good for cooking. Wash and air dry the shells Step 2: Stick the tape around each egg's widest point, and then carefully break away shells between the tape and the hole Step 3: Put shells in a square at the four corners of a piece of paper, with the round end of the egg on top. Step 4: Add more books and see how strong the eggshells are. What has happened The strength of an eggshell lies in its shape. It's like a 3D arch (拱形) or dome (圆顶)which is one of the strongest shapes. The shape of the eggshell spreads pressure all over the whole egg rather than at one point. In fact, the shape of the eggshell is seen in many types of architecture (建筑设计),including doorways and large windows. The strong walls of the shell will support the weak point. At right conditions, the thin eggshell can even hold up 20 kg weight!
1. What does the experiment show us
A. A small hole can make it easier to pour eggs B. Eggshells are thin.
C. Books are harder than eggshells. D. Eggshells are strong
2. How many kinds of things are needed in the experiment

"Hey Mia, how do real submarines sink and rise underwater again "
“'It's about buoyancy (泽力)! They control water and air in tanks. Let's build a bottle model to test it!
Here 's how to make a model submarine (潜水街) that dives and comes up from underwater like a real one.
Materials Plastic bottle, Tape (胶带); Four coins, Thin rubber or plastic tube, Waterproof modeling clay(防水黏土)---not real clay, which dissolves (溶解) in water, Small scissors, Tub(盆).
Steps 1. Cut two small holes on one side of the bottle, Tape coins to that side of the bottle. Remove cap, seal (密封) the tube to the bottle with clay. 2. Fill tub with water, put bottle in and let it fill with water. 3.Gently blow into the tube and watch what happens. Stop blowing and close the tube with your thumb. Lift your thumb and watch what happens
Result When you blow, air pushes out water, the bottle becomes lighter and comes up. Bottle sinks when it fills with water and coins weight it down. Coins keep holes pointing downward, so air does not escape. When you stop blowing and seal the tube with your thumb, the bottle floats. Lift your thumb, air escapes through the tube and the bottle sinks. A real submarine works this way, by filling tanks with air or water.
6.What are Liam and Mia mainly discussing
A. Making a model submarine. B. How real submarines sink and rise
C. The importance of waterproof clay D. Collecting plastic bottles.
7. Why are the coins taped to the bottle
A. To decorate the model. B. To keep holes pointing downward
C. To prevent the clay from dissolving D. To make the bottle heavier.
8. If you blow into the tube, what happens
A. The bottle will fill with water. B. The bottle will be empty.
C. The bottle will sink. D. The bottle will rise.
9. What is the correct order of making the model submarine
①Cut holes and tape coins. ② Seal the tube with clay.
③ Put the bottle in water. ④ Blow into the tube.
A.①→②→③→④ B ①→③→②→④ C.②→①→③→④ D.③→①→②→④
10. Mary made a model submarine, but it can't float. What might be the problem
A. She cut holes on the opposite side of the bottle. B. She taped coins to the bottle
C. She blew too much air into the bottle. D. She used water proof modeling clay.

Slides are simple but always fun, All you need to do is climb up to the top and slide down, But did you know that there is science behind this simple playground equipment (设备)
You climb up the slide and sit down. You are ready to go, Are you sliding down No, not yet. Things stay still(静止)unless something makes them. It is Newton's first law, So you have to give yourself a push to start the journey down. Now you are sliding down. Do you feel you are slowing down a bit When two things rub (摩擦)against each other, they cause friction(摩擦力).Without friction you will slide down faster and faster to the bottom. At the bottom of the slide, you come to a full stop. Your feet touch the ground and add extra friction. Newton's first law also says moving things keep moving unless something makes them stop. So, if you do not use your feet, you'll fly off the slide.
Isaac Newton said what goes up must come down. He was talking about gravity. Slides work because of gravity. But that is not at all.
11. How does the writer start the text
A. By giving a fact B. By giving an example C. By telling a story D. By asking a question
12. The best word for the blank is
A. stop B. fly of C. move D. change direction
13.Which picture explains why you slow down a bit when sliding down
14. What would happen if you do not use your feet at the bottom of the slide
A. You would stay still. B. You would stop immediately.
C. You would add extra fiction. D. You would slide uncontrollably
15.What is the best title for the passage
A. Fun with a slide B. Science behind a slide C. Newton's first law D. Secrets of gravity

The Three Gorges Dam (三峡大坝), lying on the Yangtze River in Hubei Province, is one of the largest and most amazing engineering projects in the world. It stands proudly between the beautiful mountains of Xiling Gorge, showing the wisdom and hard work of the Chinese people.
The Yangtze River, China's longest river, often caused serious floods in the past, bringing disasters to millions of people. To solve this problem and create clean energy, the Chinese government decided to build a huge dam.
People began to build the Three Gorges Dam in 1994. And it took over 12 years to complete. Thousands of workers used modern machines and technology to make this dream come true. They moved mountains, changed the river's path (路径) to build the dam, which is about 2.3 kilometers long and 185 meters high---as tall as a 60-story building!
Today, the dam plays a key role in China. It has greatly reduced flood risks, protecting cities and farmlands. The dam's power stations produce clean electricity for millions of homes and factories, helping reduce air pollution, Its connected vessel system (连通器系统) helps ships pass. Ships enter a lock (水闸), and gates close. Water level inside the lock rises or falls to match the next section. When the water levels become the same, gates open, and the ship moves to the next lock.
The Three Gorges Dam is not just a dam--it's a symbol of China's courage and creativity. Visitors from around the world come to see this modern wonder, Students learn about its scientific achievements and the spirit of teamwork behind it, The dam teaches us that with determination (决心), humans can overcome even the most difficult challenges of nature.
16.What are the uses of the Three Gorges Dam according to the passage
① Controlling floods ② Producing clean energy ③ Creating new tourist places ④Improving ship transportation
A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D.②③④
17.What physics principle (原理) allows ships to pass through the dam's gates smoothly
18. What does the word “vessel" in Paragraph 4 most probably mean
A.A type of energy. B. A kind of machine
C.A large ship or boat. D. A part of the dam's structure
19.Which is the right structure of the passage (①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2...)

Plants are nature 's amazing food makers. Unlike animals, plants cannot move around to find food. Instead, they have developed special ways to get “food" from things around them. One of the main ways is through photosynthesis(光合作用).
For photosynthesis to happen, plants need three important things-sunlight, water and CO2. They get water through their roots and take in CO2, through stomata (孔). Chlorophyll (叶绿素)is responsible for catching sunlight. When these three things come together, something wonderful happens. ___△___ First they make glucose(葡萄糖) which is the plant's food. Second, they produce O2, for animals and humans to breathe. This is why plants are so important---they clean the air by taking in CO2, from the air and giving off O2.
Different plants have adapted to the environment in their special ways to survive, Desert plants usually have thick bodies to store water. They keep their stomata closed during the hot day and only open them at night to do photosynthesis. This helps them survive in dry conditions. Another example is water lilies (水百合). These plants grow in fakes. Their leaves spread across the water to collect sunlight, They have stomata only on the top side of their leaves to take’ in air. This special design helps them live well in water.
Thanks to photosynthesis, plants not only feed themselves but also support life on Earth!

Spring has arrived in the UK but some parts of the world still seem like winter woodlands, Snow forests make up about 30% of the world's total forest areas. These wonderful woodlands are not very famous, but they are still important, Snow forests are found in the far north of the world in areas that are quite cold and usually have a lot of snowfall (降雪). They lie across parts of Canada, China, Finland, Japan, Norway, Russia, Sweden and the US, Snow forests stretch for thousands of miles and cover about 17% of the earth's total land area.
Snow forests have very cold winters that can last up to six months, but even so, they are the habitat for all sorts of animals. Animals that live in the snow forests include foxes, hares, mice and wolves. In the US and Canada, as many as five billion birds of more than 300 kinds live in the forests in the breeding (繁殖) season. These huge woodlands also perform a very important job: helping to take in carbon-based gases, which can cause climate change.
However, snow forests are facing several threats (威胁).Trees are being cut down faster and faster for their wood which can be used for building, Some forests are being cleared to make space for new roads and houses. This threatens the homes of wildlife. As the world gets warmer and the weather changes. the risk of fires in snow forests threatens huge areas. ln recent years, Canada and Russia have seen very serious fires spread through the forests.
Luckily, environmental and wildlife groups around the world are working hard to make snow forests protected areas. This means that cutting down trees is controlled in some areas and the forests are seen as areas of special scientific value.
