At Hangzhou Dinglan Experimental Middle School in Zhejiang, an exciting event took place on January 30. The students weighed a pig!
The yearly event has started since 2017. Teachers and students work together to use science to weigh pigs. In the past, they used methods (方法) like levers (杠杆法) and Archimedes’ principle (阿基米德定律). This time, students used Magdeburg hemispheres(马德堡半球) to do it.
The students used two hemispheres and connected (连接) one to a cage with a pig inside. By using a formula (公式) they used the air pressure to find out the pig’s weight.
However, the pig was much bigger than it was last year, so it was much harder for students to get it to the test area.
“As the pig was about to go into the cage, it suddenly lay down and didn’t move at all,” Liu Nian, 13, told Teens. Finally, they pushed it into the cage.
After trying a few times and finding the average (平均数), the students found that the black pig weighed 165.3 kilograms. This was very close to the pig’s known weight of 154.5kg.
“We use what we learn in textbooks to work out real problems. This makes science even more exciting,” Hu Yulin, 14, told Teens.
58. What do the teachers and students do every year?
A. Make a yearbook. B. Weigh the pig.
C. Work on a farm. D. Take part in a science festival.
59. How do they do it every year?
A. They go to a different farm. B. They take turns to do it.
C. They make new tools. D. They use scientific methods.
60. Why was it much harder for students to get the pig to the test area this year?
A. The test area is very far. B. The pig is bigger than it was last year.
C. The students couldn't find the cage. D. The pig kept running around the cage.
61. What did Hu Yulin say about the activity?
A. It was boring. B. It was just for fun.
C. It helped students enjoy science better. D. It brought more problems to the students.
62. Which part of a newspaper may this passase come from?
A. Sports and health. B. Travel and culture.
C. Study and life. D. Nature and environment.
C
Did you know that a seed (种子) can have its own “identity card (身份证)”? This happens at the national crop germ plasm bank (国家作物种质库) in Beijing It is also known as a seed bank.
When seeds first come in, they each get a number for their “physical examination” (检测). For example, workers put all kinds of Job’s tears (薏米) from different farms together. Then, they put them into groups according to the seeds’ look or taste.
Next, workers check the seeds to make sure they’re healthy. They will give up all the unhealthy seeds. A worker at the seed bank showed CCTV News a seed that had a large insect (虫子) inside it.
“A seed like this should not be saved,” he said.
After throwing away the bad seeds, workers test the good ones to see how likely (可能的) they are to grow. The seed bank has a quick, smart way of doing this: Workers test the seeds and use the information they get to predict their growth.
Workers dry and weigh the best seeds after several tests. Then, they keep the seeds in a cold freezer (冰箱) at-18℃. With all these done, the seeds have their identities.
63. How does the writer start the passage?
A. By giving an example. B. By asking a question.
C. By telling a joke. D. By explaining the word “seed”.
64. According to Paragraph 2, how did workers choose seeds for different groups?
A. By looking at the way they look or taste. B. By checking how they smell.
C. By looking at how healthy they are. D. By checking how big they are.
65. What does the underlined word “this” mean in the last sentence of Paragraph 3?
A. A large seed. B. A seed from farms.
C. A seed with an insect inside it. D. A seed that has not gone through any test.
66. Put the things that happened to the seeds in the correct order.
a. keep the seeds in a cold freezer at-18℃.
b. “physical examination” and put them into groups.
c. check the seeds and throw away the bad seeds.
d. test the seeds and predict their growth.
e. dry and weigh the best seeds.
A. c-b-d-a-e. B. b-c-d-e-a. C. b-c-d-a-e. D. c-b-d-e-a.
67. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How identity cards help workers study seeds.
B. How a seed gets its identity at a seed bank in China.
C. Why it is important to put seeds into a seed bank.
D. Why workers use different seeds to do tests at a seed bank in China.
D
Now more people have to work indoors with computers. This means much sitting and little exercise. We have known that if we don’t move much, we will get fatter, we will have heart problems and maybe we will get diabetes (糖尿病). But new studies have shown that it could hurt our mental (精神的) health, too.
A study of 937 Brazilian adults found that about one-third of them sat for more than 10 hours per day. It reported that people who sat for too long often showed more symptoms (症状) of depression (抑郁).
Another study was centered on children. It found that each one more hour of sitting time at the age of 12, 14 and 16 led to higher depression points at age 18.
According to Mats Hallgren from Sweden, “Sitting for too long can slow the blood flow (流动) in the body, including the blood flow to the head.” It might be bad for the growth of neurons (神经细胞) in the head. Besides, couch potatoes might do other unhealthy things while sitting, such as eating junk food. All of these may lead to depression.
The good news? It’s easy to control. Aaron Kandola from University College London, said even light exercise might help. “It is great to exercise and play sports.” said Kandola. But anything you can do to avoid sitting for too long will help with moods (心情), stress and thinking clearly. The key is just to move more often.
68. What might happen if we sit for a long time according to the passage?
①We may feel more active. ②We may become fatter. ③Our mental health may be hurt.
④Our blood will flow more slowly. ⑤Our neurons in the brain will grow.
A. ①②④ B. ②③④ C. ②③⑤ D. ①②⑤
69. According to the study, about ________ Brazilian adults sat for more than 10 hours a day.
A. 900 B. 200 C. 300 D. 500
70. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
71. What do underlined words “couch potatoes” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. People who often eat junk food. B. People who love to eat potatoes on the couch.
C. People whose neurons grow faster than others. D. People who don’t move very much.
72. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Staying at home causes depression.
B. Sitting can help people think clearly.
C. More exercise can help improve one’s mood.
D. It is hard to control illness caused by sitting too long.

At Hangzhou Dinglan Experimental Middle School in Zhejiang, an exciting event took place on January 30. The students weighed a pig!
The yearly event has started since 2017. Teachers and students work together to use science to weigh pigs. In the past, they used methods (方法) like levers (杠杆法) and Archimedes’ principle (阿基米德定律). This time, students used Magdeburg hemispheres(马德堡半球) to do it.
The students used two hemispheres and connected (连接) one to a cage with a pig inside. By using a formula (公式), they used the air pressure to find out the pig’s weight.
However, the pig was much bigger than it was last year, so it was much harder for students to get it to the test area.
“As the pig was about to go into the cage, it suddenly lay down and didn’t move at all,” Liu Nian, 13, told Teens. Finally, they pushed it into the cage.
After trying a few times and finding the average (平均数), the students found that the black pig weighed 165.3 kilograms. This was very close to the pig’s known weight of 154.5kg.
“We use what we learn in textbooks to work out real problems. This makes science even more exciting,” Hu Yulin, 14, told Teens.

59. How do they do it every year?
A. They go to a different farm. B. They take turns to do it.
C. They make new tools. D. They use scientific methods.
60. Why was it much harder for students to get the pig to the test area this year?
A. The test area is very far. B. The pig is bigger than it was last year.
C. The students couldn't find the cage. D. The pig kept running around the cage.
61. What did Hu Yulin say about the activity?
A. It was boring. B. It was just for fun.
C. It helped students enjoy science better. D. It brought more problems to the students.
62. Which part of a newspaper may this passase come from?

Did you know that a seed (种子) can have its own “identity card (身份证)”? This happens at the national crop germ plasm bank (国家作物种质库) in Beijing. It is also known as a seed bank.
When seeds first come in, they each get a number for their “physical examination” (检测). For example, workers put all kinds of Job’s tears (薏米) from different farms together. Then, they put them into groups according to the seeds’ look or taste.
Next, workers check the seeds to make sure they’re healthy. They will give up all the unhealthy seeds. A worker at the seed bank showed CCTV News a seed that had a large insect (虫子) inside it.
“A seed like this should not be saved,” he said.
After throwing away the bad seeds, workers test the good ones to see how likely (可能的) they are to grow. The seed bank has a quick, smart way of doing this: Workers test the seeds and use the information they get to predict their growth.
Workers dry and weigh the best seeds after several tests. Then, they keep the seeds in a cold freezer (冰箱) at-18℃. With all these done, the seeds have their identities.
63. How does the writer start the passage?
A By giving an example. B. By asking a question.
C. By telling a joke. D. By explaining the word “seed”.
64. According to Paragraph 2, how did workers choose seeds for different groups?
A. By looking at the way they look or taste. B. By checking how they smell.
C. By looking at how healthy they are. D. By checking how big they are.
65. What does the underlined word “this” mean in the last sentence of Paragraph 3?
A. A large seed. B. A seed from farms.
C. A seed with an insect inside it. D. A seed that has not gone through any test.
66. Put the things that happened to the seeds in the correct order.
a. keep the seeds in a cold freezer at-18℃.
b. “physical examination” and put them into groups.
c. check the seeds and throw away the bad seeds.
d. test the seeds and predict their growth.
e. dry and weigh the best seeds.
A. c-b-d-a-e. B. b-c-d-e-a. C. b-c-d-a-e. D. c-b-d-e-a.
67. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How identity cards help workers study seeds.

Now more people have to work indoors with computers. This means much sitting and little exercise. We have known that if we don’t move much, we will get fatter, we will have heart problems and maybe we will get diabetes (糖尿病). But new studies have shown that it could hurt our mental (精神的) health, too.
A study of 937 Brazilian adults found that about one-third of them sat for more than 10 hours per day. It reported that people who sat for too long often showed more symptoms (症状) of depression (抑郁).
Another study was centered on children. It found that each one more hour of sitting time at the age of 12, 14 and 16 led to higher depression points at age 18.
According to Mats Hallgren from Sweden, “Sitting for too long can slow the blood flow (流动) in the body, including the blood flow to the head.” It might be bad for the growth of neurons (神经细胞) in the head. Besides, couch potatoes might do other unhealthy things while sitting, such as eating junk food. All of these may lead to depression.
The good news? It’s easy to control. Aaron Kandola from University College London, said even light exercise might help. “It is great to exercise and play sports.” said Kandola. But anything you can do to avoid sitting for too long will help with moods (心情), stress and thinking clearly. The key is just to move more often.
