Scott wanted to kill him, because his teeth hurt Matt’s hand. But Matt said, “Let’s give him more time.” Scott agreed. A few days later, Scott tried to touch White Fang. He, too, got badly bitten. Instead of getting angry with the dog, however, he walked slowly toward White Fang, holding another piece of meat. When he was quite near the dog, he dropped the meat on the ground and walked away from it. White Fang looked at him and moved toward the meat, expecting Scott to hit him. When Scott did not move, White Fang moved closer to the meat. He still expected Scott to hit him, but Scott did not move. The meat was eaten up. The next day, Scott held the meat in his hand when he offered it to White Fang. The dog would not take it, so Scott left it on the ground. The same thing happened for many days. Finally, White Fang was not afraid of Scott and took a piece of meat from his hand. Scott let White Fang do this several times. Then, he walked up to him without any meat in his hand. He put out his hand and touched White Fang. The wolf in White Fang wanted to bite the hand, but the dog in him wanted to obey the man. White Fang barked, but he did not bite. Every day, Scott touched the dog. White Fang began to like being touched. He began to like this god who gave him meat, touched him gently, and never beat him. As the days passed, White Fang began to love Scott. Even when Scott went away, he stopped eating. He lay quietly, without moving. —Adapted from White Fang 24.

Trust Building: White Fang and Scott C A rooster is washing a mahjong tile with the Chinese character Fa (发) on it. This funny scene reminds us of the popular Chinese phrase gongxi facai (恭喜发财), through the clever use of homophony (谐音). Zhang Mingxiang, 26, also known on social media as “Wo Shi Chao Ren”, created this interesting pun (双关语). The painter mixes traditional Chinese paintings with homophonic elements (同音异义的元素). This creative style has got him over 1 million fans on Bilibili. “I grew up with picture books,” Zhang said. “The more I read, the more I wanted to draw.” Zhang used to draw by himself in the classroom during his middle school years. a When he began sharing his paintings online, he quickly got very popular. The idea to focus on cute animals came along in 2018 after he saw people selling Chinese calligraphy (beautiful handwriting) on Douyin. B “The black and white seemed a bit boring to me,” Zhang said. “I remembered the cartoon books I read as a child. Suddenly, pictures of cute animals came into my mind.” Once, he was trying to draw a Chinese story about Wu Song fighting a tiger. Then an idea hit him: Why not draw five squirrels（松鼠), which could then be called “wu song (五松)”? c “For example, when I thought about drawing a great hawk (鹰) spreading its wings, I thought, ‘Why can’t it be a little chicken spreading its wings instead’?” Now, Zhang also creates all kinds of cultural products with his artwork, including T-shirts and bags. d He hopes that his style and products will go to other countries one day. 28. Which of the following does NOT use homophony? A. B. C. D. 29. What does Zhang use five squirrels to show? A. Himself. B. Five trees. C. A tiger. D. A tiger fighter. 30. In which blank can we put the following sentence “He has begun to add other fun elements to his picture since then.”? A. a B. b C. c D. d 31. What can we infer from the passage? A. Zhang finds the black and white Chinese calligraphy kind of boring. B. Zhang mixes traditional Chinese writing with homophonic elements. C. Zhang’s cultural products and his artwork are very popular in foreign countries. D. Zhang’s love for picture books helps him to have many creative ideas in his paintings. D ①Everybody knows that Earth spins (旋转) from west to east. That is to say, it appears to be spinning counterclockwise when we see from above the North Pole (北极). But what if Earth started spinning the other way? ②Scientists from Germany have made a computer model in which Earth spins from east to west when we see from above the North Pole. This showed them some interesting things about the weather and topography (地形地貌) on Earth, Live Science reported. ③As Earth spins in a counterclockwise direction, it shapes ocean currents (洋流). The direction of the spin, together with wind, produces different kinds of weather around the world. ④But a backward (逆向的) spin changes the ocean currents and winds. So, the climate (weather of a certain place) is different. Winters become even colder in northwestern Europe, while eastern Russia becomes warmer than before. Rain no longer falls on the planet’s wettest places. ⑤Another result of a backward spin is that Earth becomes greener. Scientists found that the size of global deserts dropped from 42 million km2 to 31 million km2. This may have something to do with the changing climate. ⑥Therefore, you can see green landscapes from Central Africa to the Middle East, which are mostly covered by deserts now. More surprisingly, the Sahara Desert becomes an oasis (green land). ⑦However, deserts don’t disappear. They just appear in some places that they never appeared in before. Deserts would cover North America, where countries like the United States and Canada lie, Sand dunes (沙丘) would replace the Amazon rainforest in South America. ⑧A backward spin would keep the main characteristics of Earth’s topography, such as the size, shapes and positions of continents and oceans. But it would also change the interactions (相互作用) between air, ocean and topography, lead scientist Florian Ziemen told Live Science. 32. Which of the following means “counterclockwise”in paragraph one? A. B. C. D. 33. Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage? A The backward spin may turn the sand dunes in M into forests. B. The changing climate makes the deserts in N smaller and smaller. C. The weather in Q will become warmer because of the backward spin. D. The spin of Earth alone can produce different kinds of weather in M, N and Q. 34. Which of the sayings can best express the main idea of Paragraph 8? A Still water runs deep. B. Time and tide waits for no man. C. A good beginning is half done. D. A small move may influence the bigger picture. 35. What’s the best structure of this passage? （Paragraph1=① Paragraph2=②） A. B. C. D. V.口语应用。（每小题1分，共5分） 阅读下面对话，从文后7个选项中选择5个恰当的选项完成此对话。 Amy: Hi, Bob. Long time no see. ____36____ Bob: Hi, Amy. I’ve just returned from my hometown. Amy: ____37____ Bob: Wonderful.

But what if the visitor is an elephant? Pu Cuifen, a villager from Yunnan Province, experienced that two years ago. “I’ve only seen elephants in a zoo before, not expecting a wild elephant would appear at my doorstep,” said Pu. The elephants didn’t hurt anyone, but only ate some farm plants. The villagers lost up to 50,000yuan. To protect their crops, villagers would drive away the elephants. But this made the animals angry and sometimes people got hurt or even died because of it. The government has paid the money for the plants the elephants have eaten and also created “dining halls” for the wild elephants to grow their favorite food, such as elephant grass and bamboo. Villagers now simply leave the elephants alone. “The elephants might eat our crops, but we treat them with care and accept them with love.” said Pu. In Xizang, Migmar was once a hunter (猎人) but now is a helper at the wildlife station of Qomolangma. He and his friends take turns to go around to check there’s no trouble or danger for wild animals every day. The wildlife station was set up in 2019. Since then, they have saved 17 wild animals. During this period, they learned to bandage the animals and clean their wounds, and set them free into the wild when they got well again. “Animals don’t talk, but I can feel their trust (信任).” said Migmar. 41. Has Pu Cuifen ever experienced an elephant visiting? ____________________________________________________ 42.
