As my teacher called the students’ names, I was sitting there. The students went to receive their report cards happily. I watched their faces with envy and remembered my poor result last year. Since then, I have worked hard, but I wasn’t sure if I had made any progress.
I was too worried to hear my teacher call my name, and my classmate pushed me heavily. I tried my best to keep my cool and walked towards the teacher’s desk. The desk was only two meters away, but it seemed to be a long way for me to go.
Time seemed to stop. My heart was beating fast and my hands were shaking badly when I received my report card. My teacher was saying something, but I was so nervous that I couldn’t hear her. Soon, thunderous applause (雷鸣般的掌声) brought me out of the darkness, and I heard my teacher say, “Wonderful job!”
When I opened my report card, I discovered an “A” on it. I couldn’t believe my eyes until I gave it a second look. Then all my fears disappeared. I felt like I was flying in the air. I heard birds singing.

The IFLA (国际图书馆协会) helps libraries all over the world work together. Every year it gives out an award for the Public Library of the Year. This year, Beijing Library won the award.
The library opened in December, 2023. It was designed by experts from China and Norway. The library has a total area of 75,000 square meters. It houses the world’s largest library reading space.
The reading space is a great place for readers to enjoy their books. It has huge windows to let natural light in. It’s also kept at a comfortable temperature. The top of the reading space is made up of many flat panels (板). They look like ginkgo (银杏) leaves. And the space’s tall columns (柱子) are the “trees”. This design makes visitors feel like they’re in a forest. But the top is not just good to look at. It can collect rainwater for reuse. It also has solar panels (太阳能电池板) to get energy from the sun.
The judges from the IFLA like the design of the library. They think it brings books, people and nature together. The building is friendly to the environment and is built to last a long time.

①That future is almost here. “I think it’s going to happen. Without doubt, in ten years...even faster,” said Sebastian Thrun in 2021. At that time, his young company was working on developing flying car-eVTOL.
②Flying to work or school sounds unbelievable. It is fun to fly. “There would never be heavy traffic again, because the sky is very, very large,” says Thrun. He also thinks eVTOLs could be greener than common cars. “We go much faster. We go in a straight line, and we fly on less energy,” he says.
③So far, though, flying cars haven’t become successful as a product. Will their day come? There are still many problems to solve. Their high price means most people won’t be able to afford one. So, some companies are developing them as air taxis so that people could pay to take. The main problem with flying cars is safety. To make eVTOLs safer, many developers are aiming to make them self-flying—no human pilot required.
④Another problem is space. Most planes need long runways to take off and land. Lifting straight up and down like a helicopter (直升机) solves this problem. Finding places to put flying cars could be tricky, especially in crowded cities. But maybe some could stay on top of buildings.
⑤What do you think? Are flying cars a good idea, or should we find other ways to get around in the near future?
13. What is Sebastian Thrun’s opinion about the future of flying cars?
A. He thinks it will happen in the next century.
B He thinks it will never happen in the future.
C. He thinks it will happen in ten years or even faster.
D. He is not very sure about the future of flying cars.
14. Some companies are developing flying cars as air taxis ________.
A. to solve the space problem B. to save a lot of money
C. to make it possible to take them D. to solve the safety problem
15. What can we infer (推断) according to the passage?
A. Flying cars must be a success if the space problem is solved.
B. Flying cars can help to protect the environment.
C. Most of the common human pilots will lose their jobs.
D. Everyone will take a flying car to work or school in the future.
16. What is the probable structure (结构) of the passage?
A. B. C. D.

There are 24 solar terms (节气) in China, and the Grain Rain (谷雨) is one of them. It falls on April 20th this year.
This solar term is called the Grain Rain because it is known for “rain” that helps the grain grow. From its name, we can guess it means a time of more rain. So if you go out in the next two weeks, you may need to bring an umbrella with you.
But this is a great time for planting crops. If you miss the time for planting during the Grain Rain, you will feel sorry later. So maybe you can try to plant some flowers or vegetables in your garden. When the spring rain falls, farmers begin to grow crops. Farmers often say, “Spring rain is as precious (珍贵的) as oil.” It brings farmers hope for a good year ahead.
There are also many interesting customs during the Grain Rain. In the northern part of China, people like to eat Chinese toon (香椿) mixed with eggs. The food made during the Grain Rain tastes wonderful and is good for your stomach. In the southern part of China, the tea leaves are picked during this time. They are called Grain Rain tea, which is famous for its freshness and sweet smell.
41. When is the Grain Rạin this year?
________________________________
42. What should you take if you go out during the Grain Rain?

There are 24 solar terms (节气) in China, and the Grain Rain (谷雨) is one of them. It falls on April 20th this year.
This solar term is called the Grain Rain because it is known for “rain” that helps the grain grow. From its name, we can guess it means a time of more rain. So if you go out in the next two weeks, you may need to bring an umbrella with you.
But this is a great time for planting crops. If you miss the time for planting during the Grain Rain, you will feel sorry later. So maybe you can try to plant some flowers or vegetables in your garden. When the spring rain falls, farmers begin to grow crops. Farmers often say, “Spring rain is as precious (珍贵的) as oil.” It brings farmers hope for a good year ahead.
There are also many interesting customs during the Grain Rain. In the northern part of China, people like to eat Chinese toon (香椿) mixed with eggs.

The harder, The Better
In our life, we may meet with different kinds of difficulties. But how can we deal with them?Here is one of my own experiences. When I first went into the middle school, I was too shy to communicate with others. And I was afraid to ask others questions that I couldn’t work out. I turned to my parents for help and they gave me useful suggestions. They told me that I needed to be brave to talk to others and make new friends. I tried my best to follow their suggestions and finally I did that.
Now I understand that I need to learn how to get over difficulty by myself with confidence.
