I'd never thought of making sand sculptures before 17 some fantastic ones appeared all along the beach. Beautiful buildings and lovely animals were all made of sand. From that moment, I knew that this was something I just had to do, though I'd never considered myself to be a(n) 18 . In fact, anyone can create a sand sculpture, but it's much harder than it looks. The first sand sculpture I tried making was a two-metre long dolphin. I was making 19 on it until suddenly the head started to break off! I tried everything to 20 it, but it was hopeless.Soon the whole thing was a big pile of sand. Some people nearby seemed to think this was quite funny, but that just made me keep trying even 21 . I wished I'd listened to an expert(专家)on YouTube who recommends digging up 22 sand and to use it to build the sand sculptures because it sticks together better. So, I did that for my next sculpture of a camel. And I 23 to complete it in four hours, though it didn't take me that long to make. People say that making sandcastles is for kids, not adults, but that doesn't bother(困扰) me at all. Many people don't understand that even a 24 touch can make a sand sculpture fall off.

B 新素材科普知识 Does it really matter if we know how old animals are? To many scientists,it does. When studying animal populations, it is of great importance to scientists to know how many animals there are and how old they are. This information can help scientists learn which animals are thriving and which ones need more care and help. Scientists usually use the following way s to tell animals' age. For many animals, their teeth can help scientists know their age. In some animals, some teeth don't come in until a certain age. Take cows for example. Like humans, cows have two sets of teeth, milk teeth and permanent teeth. They normally get their first pair of permanent teeth when they're two years old. Then they have the next pair at the age of three, the third pair at the age of four... Hair and skin can also provide information about age. Some animals tend to get bad skin and gray hair as they get older. If you have an older dog, you may have noticed that its nose and mouth get grayer as it gets older. Animals' eyes and ears might also help scientists tell animals' age. As animals get older,their hearing often becomes weak and their eyesight might begin to fail. Scientists are continuing to discover new and more ways of telling the age of animals.Recently, scientists have learned that . That's really good news! ( )28.

Through railways, people move and communicate more, which is important for the development of a country. Indonesia's first railway was built in 1867. It was the second Asian country ever had railways. However,with the development of society and population growth, the railways in Indonesia couldn't meet people's needs. The country needed new railways! It's worth celebrating that China has helped Indonesia build a high-speed railway! It is the first high-speed railway in the country, as well as in Southeast Asia. The high-speed railway between Jakarta and Bandung is about 142 km long. The railway is the first overseas high-speed railway project that fully uses Chinese technology and standards. The train can carry about 600 people. There is one first-class car, six second-class cars and one dining car. It can run at a top speed of 350 km/h. Thanks to the high-speed railway, it takes much less time to travel between Jakarta and Bandung. “It used to take about 3 hours to travel between Jakarta and Bandung, but the time is now about 40 minutes by taking the new train,”says someone from Bandung. The railway brings a lot of benefits to people along the way. For example, it provides lots of jobs during its building. It also helps with the business along the way. High-speed railways meet people's need to move between different places. More countries,especially Southeast Asian countries, may build their high-speed railways with Chinese products after seeing the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway. The railway is proof that Chinese technology for high-speed railways has won international acceptance. ( )32. Which is TRUE about the high-speed train from Jakarta to Bandung? A.

In 2009,UNESCO listed China's paper-cutting as a world cultural heritage(遗产). In Chinese culture, paper cuts are the symbol of happiness and good luck, and they have been used for decoration and design patterns(图案) throughout history. Paper cuts used for decoration are often seen on windows and gates. They are usually put up during holidays to bring good luck. The Chinese character fu means good luck and it is often stuck on front doors upside down. It is believed that when fu is put upside down, happiness arrives. The image of a fish often appears together with fu, which shows we will have more than enough money to spend. Paper cuts are also used on presents. People use fu to wrap(包装) presents to bring good luck to others. A present for parents with new-born babies might show a paper cut of children.In some designs, we can see a baby on a lotus flower. The name of this design is lian sheng gui zi, which means we wish that the parents would have more children. The image of a baby on an animal is popular as well. This animal is called qi lin, which is believed to have the power to bring children to the family. Paper cuts that show the Chinese character of double happiness are often used to celebrate weddings. People use them to decorate such occasions(场合) by putting them on walls, windows, doors and even furniture. Another kind of paper cuts are those used to make design patterns on clothing, such as the Chinese fu, the image of dragon and flower patterns. They are very popular choices for clothes to wear. They are also sometimes used to decorate jewellery boxes. In the past, paper-cutting was all done by hand. Even a small mistake during the process can ruin(毁掉) the whole piece of work. Now there are factories for paper-cutting in China and paper cutting has also changed from decoration to a kind of art. ( )36. Why do Chinese people stick fu upside down? A.

A composer thinks of a musical idea and writes it on paper for others to read. Instead of writing words, a composer uses musical notation(记号). Other people can read the notes and play them. When they do, they're playing music that came from the composer's imagination. Beethoven was a famous German composer. He was born in 1770 in Bonn and began learning the piano when he was only four. He also learned to play the violin. Beethoven visited Vienna,which was a very musical city, in 1787. Two other famous composers lived in Vienna at that time. Wolfgang Mozart and Joseph Haydn met Beethoven and gave his music high praise.Beethoven made friends in Vienna and returned there in 1792. He studied music with Haydn and lived in Vienna for the rest of his life. Beethoven was once a great pianist, but he wanted to compose his own music. He always seemed to have musical ideas in his head. His notebooks show how hard he worked to get the music just right. He often wrote and then revised his music by scratching it out(勾画), so it is possible for us to see how he was thinking about the music. During the late 1790s, Beethoven began to lose his hearing. At first it was difficult for him to hear people and talk with them. Even when he became completely deaf, he did not stop creating music, however. He heard music in his mind even though he couldn't hear it with his ears. Most people have heard of Beethoven's Symphony(交响乐) No.5, but they may not know he wrote it when he was growing deaf. A symphony is a long piece of music for the orchestra(交响乐团). Symphony No.5 starts like this: ta-ta-ta-TUM. Beethoven used this pattern over and over in his symphony. Try saying it aloud two times: ta-ta-ta-TUM, ta-ta-ta-TUM. 56. When did Beethoven start learning music? 57. Which city influenced Beethoven most in his musical career? 58. What is Beethoven known as? 59. During the late 1790s, what difficulty did Beethoven face? 60. Why did Beethoven make greater achievements after losing his hearing? (B)根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 In a room at Stanford University, scientists are studying a small animal called a gecko. It's an amazing animal because it can m 61 very quickly up and down a tree and even upside down on ceilings. The scientists are especially interested in the gecko's f 62 . They want to use the same design on a metal robot that looks very similar to the gecko. It has four feet and can walk up walls made of glass or plastic, but it still has trouble walking upside down. Animals and plants can teach h 63 a lot about design and engineering. As a result,many engineers, scientists, and designers spend time studying them. When they have a problem,n 64 often has the answer. This science is called biomimetics. “Bio” means“living things”and“mimetics”means“copying”. Velcro is p 65 the most famous example of biomimetics. Most people have some Velcro on clothes and shoes. It was i 66 by the Swiss engineer George de Mestral in 1948. He was walking in the countryside when he pulled a burr o 67 his trousers. He noticed how well the burr stuck to his clothes so he studied its design. The result was Velcro, which became an alternative(替代品) to the traditional zipper. In 1982, Wilhelm Barthlott got a great i 68 studying the leaf of a lotus(莲花) plant. He noticed that water always ran off the leaf. When he had a closer look, he d 69 how it worked. Barthlott copied the leaf's special surface and now you can find it in specialized paint products that don't allow water and dirt to stick. In conclusion, biomimetics not only has helped to design our world b 70 shows many more possibilities. And yet, it might take a long time to discover all the possibilities. This isn't really surprising: it took nature millions of years to design its animals and plants. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 六书面表达。(15分) Before Spud Webb's proudest moment came, he worked hard to overcome(克服) his height disadvantage; before Tan Dun created amazing music, he had to make a violin himself when he was very young because of his poor family; before Audrey Hepburn was seen by the world, she suffered hardships and stresses beyond her age during her childhood.

But both my teacher and mother encouraged me to participate in this competition. Since then, I have been practising skipping rope every morning and evening. I jumped faster and faster. On the day of the competition, I won first prize. From then on, when I encounter difficulties, I always tell myself that I must face them bravely and strive to overcome them in order to achieve success. Do you want to be a winner? Just remember: it may be difficult but it is possible. If you face it and overcome it, you will be a winner. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
