A lot of animals travel from one place to another. We call this migration.
In Africa, large animals, like elephants and zebras, migrate to find food and water. They usually follow the same ways every year.
A lot of birds migrate to find food and better weather, too. They are usually birds that eat insects. They spend the summer in northern Europe, because there are lots of insects there. In the winter there aren't any insects, so the birds fly south to southern Europe and Africa.
Some insects migrate, too. In North America, millions of monarch butterflies fly south to spend the winter in Mexico, California and Florida, where it's warmer. They travel 50-65 km each day and they travel about 1,125 km.
Some fish migrate to breed (繁殖). Salmon (鲑鱼) can swim over 20,000 km in their life. They are born in rivers in Ireland, Scotland and other places in northern Europe. The young fish swim down the river to the sea and into the Atlantic Ocean. They live in the ocean until they are adults. Then they return to the river where they were born. They lay their eggs in the river and then they usually die. Salmon do this, because their eggs are safer in the river. Other fish can't eat them.
Arctic terns (北极燕鸥) travel the furthest when they migrate. They spend the summer in the Arctic, but when winter comes they fly to the Antarctic, because it's summer there. The next year they fly back to the Arctic again. In one year these small birds travel 36, 000km from one end of the earth to the other and back again. Nobody knows how they do it.
5. According to the passage, monarch butterflies in North America migrate to_________.
A. find insects B. look for water C. find better weather D. produce young
6. Adult salmon swim back to the river because ________.
A. they won't be eaten by other big fish
B. they want to lay eggs in a safer place
C. they are getting ready to die there
D. they want to go where they grew up
7. Which of the following is true about animals' migration?
A. Elephants in Africa usually travel the same way each year.
B. Most birds fly to southern Europe and Africa in summer.
C. Some insects travel 1, 125 km each day.
D. Salmon swim 20, 000 km each year.
8. The example of Arctic terns in the last paragraph is used mainly to show _________.
A. the distance of migration B. the purpose of migration
C the direction of migration D. the time of migration
C
Have you ever thought about one question: Why do we need to learn Maths?
It is an interesting question. Kids around the world have been asking it for years. For US students, they may get the answer from a new exhibition (展览) called “Maths Alive!”
Forty-seven activities are designed (设计) to teach kids how Maths is used in everyday life. For example, at one exhibition station, visitors can test that a person’s arm span (跨度) equals their height. At another station, visitors can control the robot with the help of Maths skills.
The exhibition will visit 15 US and international cities in the next five years. Organizers say they want more kids to learn why Maths is important in daily life. Think of simple things, like clocks. They tell time, but only if you know how to read them. That means using Maths. How much longer until school ends? How long did you sleep last night? That’s all Maths too. Even when you’re not doing Maths, it is all around you.
So enjoy Maths, not for exams, but for the wonderful world it helps to build.
9. How many activities are there in the exhibition?
A. 15. B. 38. C. 47. D. 53.
10. Why will the organizers hold the exhibition in 15 US and international cities?
A. To help children learn more life skills. B. To make more money from the activities.
C. To teach more children how to solve Maths problems. D. To make more children know about the importance of Maths.
11. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to “________”.
A. Maths B. world C. exam D. time
12. How is the text organized? (①=Paragraph 1, ②= Paragraph 2,…)
A. B. C. D.
D
One night as I went to the supermarket to buy some groceries(日用品), something unusual happened to me.It made me review the meaning of life.
As soon as I went through the glass doors, I could tell something unusual was happening at the cash register(收银台). I saw a cashier taking a few items (物品)out of a customer’s bag. The shopper was an old woman. I couldn’t even begin to describe to you how sad this woman looked. I stood there for a second and quickly realized that the cashier was taking items off the bill to cut down the payment.
I walked quickly over to the cash register, pointed to the items that she was about to put behind her and then pointed at my bag, showing that I would pay for them. She understood. After putting those items back in the bag at the register, she again went to help the woman with her card, but it still didn’t work. I looked at the screen to see the number, took some cash out of my bag, handed it to the cashier and then quickly walked away.
The old woman was a bit nervous about her card and didn’t notice me at all. When the cashier told her that she didn’t have to pay a cent, she was confused(茫然的).
I didn’t walk back into the supermarket, but I felt so proud. I was really happy that I was able to help the old woman out and hopefully bring some joy and happiness into her life.
What is happiness? As you can imagine, there are a lot of answers. Some people say that giving is a kind of happiness; it gives people warmth and joy. Some people say that harvest is a kind of happiness; it makes you realize the joy and excitement after the harvest. But I think to help others is a kind of happiness. It is the most valuable experience and it will always warm your heart.
13. Why was the cashier taking some items out of the customer’s bag?
A. Because the cashier wanted to keep them for herself.
B. Because the customer didn’t want to buy these things.
C. Because another old woman wanted to buy these items.
D. Because the customer didn’t have enough money to pay for them.
14. How did the writer tell the cashier to put the items back?
A. By facial expressions. B. By body language.
C. By eye contact. D. By speaking aloud.
15. How did the writer feel after leaving the supermarket?
A. She was angry about not buying anything. B. She was a bit nervous.
C. She was still confused. D. She felt proud of herself.
16. What can you learn from the writer’s experience?
A. The roses in her hand, the flavour in mine. B. The early bird catches the worm.
C. No pain, no gain. D. While there is life, there is hope.

We think with our brain. But can computers think?
Does a computer have a brain? We can use a computer to calculate, play games, send emails, do homework and other things.
A computer has several parts. Which part is the brain of the computer? In the main part of the computer, there is an element (元件) called CPU. That’s the brain of a computer. The keyboard and mouse are like a man’s eyes and ears. They can get information from the outside. And the monitor and printer are like a man’s hands and mouth. They can send the information to the outside after the brain-CPU thinks about it.
We often use a computer. We use the keyboard and mouse to give a computer some information. Then the computer sends the information to CPU. After CPU thinks about it, the computer gives the result to the monitor. Then we can see it!

A good example around me
There are many good examples around me. My classmate Wang Fan is one of them.
It was a rainy day. Hurrying to return home, everyone seemed to forget to do the cleaning. Seeing this, Wang Fan stayed and started to sweep the floor quietly. I felt surprised because he wasn’t on duty! But he just said he was glad to do something for us. Moved by his words, I thought I should care more about others and the class.
Good examples are not far away from us. They are just common people who do common things. These things my be small but necessary and meaningful. Good examples always have something for us to learn from and warm others in their own way.
