A. http://www.historyworld.edu.cn B. http://www.hotsports.com.cn C. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn D. http://www.brightschool.edu.cn B Long ago, when the God first planted a tree in the garden, it was full of energy and kept moving. Then the God pulled the tree out and planted it upside down to make sure it stays in one place. What’s the tree? It’s the Baobab tree, also called monkey bread tree, bottle tree or others. The Baobab tree is a strange looking tree that grows in Africa and Australia. Just like its name “Bottle Tree”, it looks like a large bottle. Some grow as tall as a 16-floor building. During the dry season, these trees are standing there without leaves, and look like trunks (树干) sticking up in the air. But when the rainy season comes, leaves appear and then flowers come out. Later, the flowers can turn into fruit. Baobab is called “the tree of life”, because they can live longer than 1000 years old. In the dry land, the baobab can pull in and hold 1000 gallons of water. Thirsty people can drink the water stored in the tree. The fruit, monkey bread, is good to eat. Baobab leaves are a kind of medicine. People can use the bark (树皮) to make paper or cloth. When a baobab gets old, its trunk becomes hollow. An old tree can hold many people. The local people often build their houses inside these trunks. It is such a useful tree; some people could hardly live without it. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 26. How does the writer begin the text? A. By asking a question. B. By showing a story. C. By singing a song. D.By giving an example. 27. Which of the following pictures is the baobab in the dry season? A. B. C. D. 28. Which word is close to the meaning of the underlined word “hollow” in paragraph 3?

The oldest baobab is less than 1000 years old. D. The leaves of baobab are good medicine. 30. What’s the best title of the passage? A. God and Baobab B. What Does Baobab Like in a Year C. Baobab’s Trunk, Leaves and Fruit D. A Special Tree - Baobab 5 C Is the Internet good or bad? It’s always a hot topic in our daily life. Different people may have different answers. Since the Internet came into being, it has brought us happiness and tears. Today, let’s take a look at some things that are disappearing as the Internet grows up. When modern people need to record some important things quickly, they don’t find a pen and a piece of paper to write, but to open their mobile phone or computer to record. As a result, it’s common for many people to “pick up the pen but forget words”. Perhaps, in a few years, will pen and paper disappear? As people more and more lose themselves in the online world, the real-looking photos disappear and you can only watch the beautiful pictures on the Internet. If one day you send a real photo in your Wechat Moments, others will even think if it is a photo to make fun. Now anyone can get digital (数字的 ) maps in a few seconds by using computers or mobile phones. They are easy and fast for users. Do you remember the last time to watch the paper maps? After a busy day for the whole family, people used to watch TV together and share information and express feelings. Nowadays, at home, a person with a mobile phone is the whole world. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 31. How do people enjoy recording anything important now? A. By writing it on the paper. B. By remembering it in mind. C. By using the mobile phone or computer. D. By sticking it on the wall. 32. Which of the following best describes (描述) most photos online now? A.Funny and true. B. Beautiful but not real. C.Ugly and wrong. D. Wonderful but not perfect. 33. What does the underlined word “They” refer to in the fifth paragraph? A. Computers. B. Mobile phones. C. Digital maps. D. Paper maps. 34. What’s the structure of the text? A.①/②/③④⑤⑥ B.①/②③④⑤/⑥ C.①②/③④⑤/⑥ D.①/②③/④⑤⑥ 35. What can we infer (推断) from the text? A. Most people think the Internet is good. B. People don’t need to learn how to write the words now. C. The paper maps aren’t useful since digital maps appear. D. People prefer playing with the mobile phones instead of talking with families. D Paper cutting has a history of over 1500 years. 36 This is why people call them “window flowers”. They are still popular at present, except on windows, people also stick them on doors and walls. 37 People can give others paper cutting as gifts, especially during special festivals like the Chinese New Year. 38 Not much. Red paper, a pair of scissors or perhaps a knife. Then you can try to make 6 your own paper-cuts. You can sometimes use pencils to draw designs first. 39 Although paper cutting is easy to start with, paper artists usually need years of training and practice. We Chinese people love paper cuttings, as we care, so we share. 40 Young people around the world can enjoy the beauty of paper cuttings without leaving home. 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺、 内容完整。 A. And even the furniture in the house. B. Now some artists teach paper cutting skills online to students in other countries. C. What do you need to get started? D.
