Her school has recently built a high- tech- empowered classroom. The classroom offers multimedia teaching systems, 3D printers and other high- tech gadgets（小装置）. In the classroom students are encouraged to develop their creativity and turn their ideas into reality. Chinese Team Encouraged at Lego Competition At the FIRST LEGO League （FLL） World Festival in Houston, Three teams from China competed and one of them won the Global Core Values Prize at the FLL Competition. The event （April 19-22） drew more than 168 teams and 1,100 students ages 4 to 16 from more than 48 countries. “My team and I worked together to solve problems, share ideas and have fun. It was a great chance to improve our tech and innovation（创新） abilities.” one team member said. FLL has played an important part in guiding STEM education in China and developing students’ innovation.

The two- week event aims to interest young people in science and technology as well as develop their imagination and creativity. 1．What can be the best title for the first piece of news?

The Siberian crane breeds（繁殖） in northeast Siberia in Russia and migrates to Poyang Lake for the winter. About 95percent of the birds spend the season in Poyang. Qian Fawen, a research professor said that Poyang’s water levels decide whether it is suitable for the birds to live there. However, climate change has made the levels change often. “In some years, the lake experiences floods and droughts. Both of the situations cause food shortages in the cranes’ living area,” he said, “The Siberian crane is seriously endangered, we need to protect their living area- wetland so that we can protect them”. According to the recent National Action Plan for the Protection of Bird Migration Channels, 1,140 places in China became important breeding grounds, wintering grounds and staying stops. The plan said that the government should watch and count the number of migratory birds and pay farmers for losses（损失） caused by the birds. After the Wetlands Protection Law appeared on June 1,2022, complete protection was strengthened（加强）. The law clearly explained what the government should do and introduced strict punishment for people who destroy wetland areas. It limits building at important national wetlands and it doesn’t allow harmful activities, including using them as farmlands, leaving wastewater everywhere, harvesting and fishing too much. Key nature reserve management offices in China have reported more birds wintering in the nation’s wetlands, including some new rare kinds. ______ 4．What does the underlined word “migrates” probably mean in Chinese? A．离开 B．迁徙 C．冬眠 D．觅食 5．Which of the following behaviors are right at important wetlands? ①watching birds ②building houses ③making farmlands ④leaving wastewater ⑤limiting fishing A.①③ B.②④ C.③⑤ D.①⑤ 6．What does this passage mainly tell us?

C Bassanio looked at the three boxes without reading the writing on them. He looked at the gold and silver. “The world is tricked by appearances,” he said. “People often hide ordinary things with beautiful gold, silver, and jewels. People always agree with those who speak well, even if they say foolish things. Many people who seem brave are really cowards（胆小鬼）. Then Bassanio remembered the story of Midas, the man who loved gold too much and wanted everything to be gold. He wished that he could make everything gold just by touching it. “No, I do not want these beautiful boxes of gold and silver. I will choose the lead（铅） box with its ordinary color. It speaks more to me than all the gold and silver in the world. Please give me the key to the lead box. Let happiness be mine.” Bassanio said to himself. One of the servants gave him the key, and he went to the box and opened it. Portia was very pleased. She could not believe it, until Bassanio opened the box and saw the picture of Portia inside it. When he saw the picture, he loved her even more. It was almost as beautiful as Portia herself. He looked at all the parts of the picture. All of them were perfect. But Portia herself was even more beautiful than her picture. The writing inside the box told him that he should find Portia and look into her eyes. She would be his wife. Bassanio could not believe it. “Is it really true?” he asked. “Will you really be my wife? I can’t believe it until you say so.” 8．Why did Bassanio choose the lead box? A．Because he was a coward person. B．Because he didn’t like the gold, silver, or jewels. C．Because the writing on the boxes told him to do so.

B．There was nothing but a picture in the lead box. C．The servants advised Bassanio to choose the lead box. D．Bassanio thought the picture was more beautiful than Portia. 11．What may be the best title of the passage? A．The things in the boxes B．Portia and her picture C．Tricks by appearances D．Bassanio and the lead box D Sign language is a type of language that uses hand movements, facial expressions and body language to communicate. 12 But it is also used by some people without any hearing problems, families and relatives of the deaf, and interpreters（翻译员） who help the deaf communicate. Sign language has several main visual（视觉的） parts that work together to express meanings. The first part is the shape made by the hands. 13 The place where the sign is made and the direction the hands face are important, too. Many people think sign language is the same. However, sign languages, like spoken languages are different. 14 So sign languages differ from place to place. For example, the sign languages used by the deaf in Britain and America are very different. Although the hearing people from the UK and the US perfectly understand each other, deaf persons from the UK and those from the US cannot communicate as fluently as normal people from the two countries. Chinese Sign Language （CSL） has been developing mostly since the late 1950s and its signs are like written Chinese characters. 15 The Chinese National Association of the Deaf（CNAD） helps improve the quality of living for the deaf in China, promote the deaf community, and encourage the education of deaf people using sign language. 根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。 A．Sign language is a little different from body language. B．Region（地区） and culture play a large role in the development. C．Schools and workshops for the deaf in China help spread CSL. D．It is used mainly by the deaf and people who can hear but cannot speak. E．The way of moving the body parts like hands also affects（影响） the meaning. 二、语言知识运用 （共20小题；满分35分） A 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。（共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分） During the Han dynasty, there was a general（将军） named Ban Chao.

So we have no choice but 23 all of the soldiers at the Huns army camp when they slept.” At night, Ban led his soldiers 24 to the Huns’ camp. There, he set fire and beat the war drums loudly. The Hun soldiers were very 25 . After a fierce battle（激战）, Ban’s army killed more than 100 enemies. The king admired（钦佩） Ban’s bravery and feared Ban at the same time.

It is ______ the movie itself that makes people moved but the heroes of the war who fought for our country and the people. Let’s take a close look at the real- life history behind the movie. Changjin Lake is located in North Korea. The Battle （战役） of Lake Changjin was in a very cold winter with temperatures of around -40℃. In the 1950s, our Chinese soldiers had to face life- and- death problems when they got on the train to enter the DPRK. A US enemy plane bombed（轰炸） the trains, and the soldiers had to quickly moved into the mountains and forests to hide. I still deeply remember a picture in the movie.

Although the follow- up troops（后续部队） killed the enemy and won the battle, unluckily 125soldiers were frozen（冻） to death. Many can’t help crying after watching this movie, because our Chinese soldiers lost their lives to protect the country and the people. It is the loveliest persons who guarded China’s rivers and mountains. However, many of them never have the chance to live and enjoy their life on this land again.
