She learned how to love and take care of flowers from her grandmother. Her flower garden is the best in town. One day, while she was looking through a flower list she often ordered the flowers from, suddenly a picture of a plant caught her eyes. Her eyes lit up excitedly. She’d never seen flowers like that before. “I have to have it”, she said to herself, and ordered it at once. When it arrived, she already had prepared a place for it. She planted it at the back of her yard. It grew well, with beautiful green leaves all over it, but there were no blooms (花). Day after day she continued to water it and feed it. Sometimes she even talked to it, hoping to make it bloom. However, it was useless. One morning, a few weeks later, when standing before the vine (藤), she felt very sad that her plant hadn’t bloomed. She was giving thought to taking it down and planting something else there. It was at this point that her neighbor, whose yard joined hers, called over to her. “Thank you so much! You can’t imagine how much I have enjoyed the blooms of that vine you planted.” Jane walked through the gate into her neighbor’s yard, and saw that on the other side of the wall the vine was filled with blooms. At that time, her heart was filled with joy. They were truly the most beautiful blooms she’d ever seen. The vine had grown through the crevices (缝隙) and it had not flowered on her side of the wall, but it had flowered on the other side. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 6. What can we learn about Jane from paragraph 1? A. She really does well in gardening. B. She gets her plants from her neighbors. C. She learned gardening from her grandpa. D. She has the second best garden in town. 7. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. Jane planted the flower. B. Jane prepared a place for the flower. C. Jane watered, fed and talked to the flower. D. Jane took care of the flower but it didn’t bloom. 8. What does the underlined phrase taking it down probably mean? A. 分解它 B. 浇灌它 C. 拔除它 D. 修剪它 9. Which could be filled in the blanks of the following part of a mind-map? A. worried; hopeful B. hopeful; sad C. sad; hopeful D. sad; worried 10. What’s the best title of the passage? A. A kind neighbor B. The most beautiful garden C. Jane, a gardening lover D. Blooms on the other side of the wall C In some parts of the Thames River in England live some swans known as Mute Swans (疣鼻天鹅). They are all owned by the British royal (皇室) family. Each year, a special team travels up the river by boat to count these birds. This helps to make sure that the swan population stays at a certain size. The tradition, called “Swan Upping,” has a history of more than 800 years. David Barrier is a swan counter and he has been doing the work for more than 20 years now. Usually, he and his team members bring the birds ashore (岸上) and check them for any health problems. Each year, the count takes place in the third week of July. For example, in 2022, the count began on July 18 and ended on July 22. The team traveled about 120 kilometers along the Thames. Because of the hot weather, the birds were not brought ashore. They were put on the counters’ boats instead. Catching the swans is not an easy job. Once a team member manages to get hold of a bird, it is then examined, weighed and tagged (加标签). Immediately afterwards, the swan is set free again. In 2022, the total number of baby Mute Swans was 155. In 2024, the number dropped to only 84. The drop of number is because of bird flu during these years. Animal counts like this are important to wildlife protection and education. It is also a fun activity—lots of people come to watch the swan counts do their work! 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 11. Who do the the Mute Swans in the Thames River belong to? A. The local government. B. A wildlife organization. C. The British royal family. D. The citizens of England. 12. What do David Barber and his team do? A. They feed the swans. B. They bring the swans from land to water. C. They train the swans for performance. D. They count and check the health of the swans. 13. Why were the swans put on the counters’ boats in 2022? A. Because they grew too heavy. B. Because they didn’t show up at all. C. Because the swan counters ran out of time. D. Because the weather was too hot for them. 14. What are animal counts like this held for? ① scientific discussion ② health examination ③ wildlife protection ④ public education A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①③④ 15. In which part of a newspaper might you read this text? A. Humans and nature. B. Science and technology. C. Sports and health. D. Shopping and amusements. D When you read the word “pickled vegetables” (榨菜), what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Salty vegetables? That's true.____16____ Now, another similar word “electronic pickled vegetable” (电子榨菜) has arrived on the Internet. Do you know what they are?

Different people have different opinions about them. B. And these videos are called electronic pickled vegetables. C. We usually eat them during the breakfast with porridge or noodles. D.
