A smart thirsty crow succeeds in getting water by dropping stones in a bottle. A piece of news in Sweden turns out the story is true. The news says a Swedish company called Corvid Cleaning is training wild crows to pick up cigarette butts（烟蒂）from the streets of Södertälje, a city not far from Stockholm. Trash is bad for the environment in many ways. For example, animals (both on land and in the ocean) often mistake trash for food and eat it. Sometimes they even die because of that. Cigarettes are one of the most dangerous forms of trash. ________ Through a machine. The crows are trained to put the cigarette butts into the machine. If the machine makes sure the thing is a cigarette butt after scanning（扫描）it, the crows will get food from it as a reward（回报）. Sounds interesting, right? According to Christian Günther-Hanssen, the founder of the company, with crows’ help, they don’t need to spend so much on the cigarette butts cleanup. “Crows are known to be one of the smartest animals in the world. They’re easier to teach. At the same time, there’s a lower risk of them eating any trash by mistake,” Christian said. The crows for the cleaning job are still living in the wild, and they are free to stop the project at any time. If they keep coming back to Corvid Cleaning’s machine with dirty cigarettes, they must be enjoying the food there. 10．From the passage, we know that ________ might have brought problems to Sweden.

They lived in Xishuangbanna in the south of Yunnan. Last year, they left their home and started to move north. They visited many places in Yunnan. They walked through: mountains, forests, rivers and even city streets. They ate in the fields and slept in the wild. No one knows when the elephants will stop moving. For protecting the elephants, experts used drones（无人机）to watch them closely. Asian elephants are usually kind. But when they are scared, they may attack（攻击）people. Experts put fences（围栏）and trucks between the elephants and people. They used tons of food like bananas and pineapples to lead the elephants to safe places. 15．How many wild Asian elephants are there in the special “tour group”? A．Fourteen. B．Fifteen.

According to the Chinese media (媒体), the Beijing to Shanghai train will once again be allowed to reach speeds of up to 350 kilometers an hour. A deadly crash (相撞) between two bullet trains in 2011 caused China to slowdown the trains speed to 300 kilometers an hour. The South China Morning Post reported the change will cut travel time by one hour on the 1,300-kilometer trip between Beijing and Shanghai. The faster Beijing-shanghai trains will begin on September 21, 2018, according to the newspaper. China already has several of the world’s fastest operating trains. The fastest is a non-bullet train-the Shanghai Maglev (磁悬浮火车)—that can reach speeds of up to 430 kilometers an hour. The train is limited (限制) to carrying passengers from Shanghai’s center to the city’s airport. Maglev stands for magnetic levitation (磁悬浮). In this system, trains are kept off the ground and powered by magnets. High-speed bullet trains have wheels and run on a track. The second-fastest train in the world is the one running between Beijing and Shanghai, according to the website Railway Technology. China also has more high-speed rail lines than anywhere else in the world-covering about 19, 000 kilometers in total, according to the media. 20．Why was there a speed limit on bullet trains in 2011? A．Because it was thought to be too dangerous to run at high speeds. B．Because the train drivers were afraid of high speeds. C．Because the train was too old to run that fast. D．Because the technology was not yet mature (成熟的). 21．So far, the speed of the Shanghai to Beijing train has increased by ________.

D．A woman who likes to travel in the mountains. 6 The Double Ninth Festival is on the ninth day of the ninth month on the Chinese lunar calendar（阴历）each year. As nine is the biggest number in ten, and it sounds the same as “long” in Chinese, people’s wishes for old people’s long life is the cultural meaning of the Double Ninth Festival.
