B To fight against climate change, scientists have suggested whales as a solution. It turns out that whales are excellent at controlling CO₂. Whales remove (清除) CO₂ from the air in two ways. First, they move nutrients (养分) from their eating areas deep in the ocean back to the surface, where they let go of them in their waste. Those nutrients help the growth of plants which take in CO₂ from the air. Second, whales themselves collect CO₂ in their bodies when they eat other animals. The total amount of the gas adds up to about 33 tons over a whale’s lifetime. When whales die, they take all that CO₂ with them down to the ocean floor. At one time, millions of whales were in the world's oceans. Unluckily, whaling brought many whales to death. Though many whales have been saved nowadays, they still face serious dangers. They are influenced by pollution from chemicals (化学品), noise, and lots of plastics that end up in the oceans. Whales are important to the future health of our planet. If whale populations increased to what they were before whaling, whales could take in about 1.7 billion tons of CO₂ each year. Compare this to the high costs needed to plant forests, and you will see why whales might be an amazing solution. It might be difficult to realize, but it’s worth fighting for. 39 Why have scientists suggested whales as a solution? A. Because whales are facing great dangers. B. Because whales are good at controlling CO₂. C. Because whales are more useful than forests. D. Because whales can save other animals in the oceans. 40. What’s the second paragraph mainly about? A. The ways whales use to remove CO₂from the air. B. The whale populations in the world’s oceans. C. The amount of CO₂ whales take in every year. D. The ways whales use to look for other animals. 41. Whales face many dangers except according to the text. A. greenhouse gases B. chemicals C. noise pollution D. plastic pollution 42. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To show a whale’s lifetime. B. To explain why whales are in danger. C. To show the influence of whaling. D. To call on people to save whales. C Zang Chaiyuan, a young woman from Yantai, has been working deep into the night as people line up for her huabobo. The popular traditional food dates back over 300 years. Zang showed interest in huabobo when she was young. Her grandmother used to make huabobo, in all kinds of shapes. Zang says, “She taught me how to make huabobo.” Her grandmother always told her that huabobo should not only look good and taste delicious, but also be healthy. So Zang used milk, eggs, natural fruit and vegetable juice to make her huabobo. After leaving university, Zang learned from a huabobo master and she mastered the skills. She wanted to open a huabobo shop, but her parents were against that. In 2020, Zang opened her first huabobo shop in Yantai. Seeing her persistence (坚持不懈), her parents no longer stood in her way and even came to help. In 2022, Zang opened her second and third huabobo shops. Sales in her shops and online orders have both been on the rise. Her products have also made their way to big cities including Beijing and Shanghai. “As long as I get to do what I want and make something of it, it will be worth it. I also love traditional Chinese culture and believe the craft (手艺) of making huabobo is worth promoting (发扬),” Zang says. 43. In Zang’s opinion, huabobo should ________. ①look good ②taste delicious ③be healthy ④be cheap A. ①②④ B. ①②③ C. ②③④ D. ①③④ 44. What does the underlined word “that” refer to (指的是)? A. Her leaving university. B. Her staying up late working. C. Her opening a huabobo shop. D. Her learning from a master. 45. What can we learn from the text? A. Zang has had two huabobo shops up to now. B. Zang will work on spreading the craft of making huabobo. C. Zang learned how to make huabobo from her parents as a kid. D. The traditional food huabobo dates back over 3,000 years. D Imagine your smartphone’s screen gets broken, or your favourite shoe gets a hole. What do you do? You can buy a new one or you can take your broken items (物品) to a “repair cafe”. The first repair cafe was set up in Amsterdam in 2009, and the Repair Cafe Foundation says there are now more than 400 around the world. A repair cafe holds a free face-to-face meeting of skilled volunteers and locals who want things fixed. Visitors bring broken items from home and watch, learn or help as the repairs get done. Some things are fixed during the event, while for more challenging items people might turn to local special repair shops. Australians sent more than half a million tons of leather (皮革) to landfill (垃圾场) in one year — more than ten times the amount (数量) that was reused or recycled. Repairing means a try to stop the throwaway culture. Repair cafes get people talking and give them the chance to network and learn about the local resources. And, perhaps most surprisingly for anyone who considers repairing to be some kind of drudgery, repair cafes can be fun and creative. It might be quicker and easier to throw things away, but it’s more expensive and less fun too. 46. When did the first repair cafe appear? A. In 2004. B. In 2009. C. In 2015. D. In 2019. 47. Why does the writer mention the landfill in Paragraph 3? A. To stress the difficulty of landfill. B. To show the importance of reuse. C. To support the throwaway culture. D. To show the influence of repair cafes. 48. What does the underlined word “drudgery” mean? A. Special networks. B. Weekly meetings. C. Hard boring work. D. Interesting games. E The traditional Chinese calendar divides a year into 24 solar terms (节气). The Beginning of Spring comes first, usually in February. Mángzhòng, is the 9th solar term. The following are things we need to know about it. An increase in rainfall It usually rains during this period. There is a long time of rainy or cloudy weather and it also means the harvest (丰收). But it’s also the best time for growing rice, vegetables and fruits. As a result, it’s a busy period for farmers. Wish for good harvest “An Miao”, meaning seedling (幼苗) protection, is a traditional farming activity of southern Anhui province. People also make different types of bread and color them with vegetable juice. The bread is used to wish for a good harvest in fall and people’s safety. Have light food During this period, temperatures rise across China and people often feel thirsty and tired, so vegetables and fruits are the first choice. Instead of much meat, people like to eat light food, such as tomatoes, watermelons, and strawberries. 49 How many solar terms in The traditional Chinese calendar? A. 6. B. 12. C. 24. D. 30. 50.
