Its cover was dark blue, and the title, The Lost Kingdom, was written in gold letters. As she opened it, something amazing happened — she was standing in a magic forest! The trees sparkled with tiny lights, and a small fox with gold fur walked towards her. “Welcome to the world of stories, Emma,” the fox said. “You’ve been chosen to find the lost kingdom.” Emma couldn’t believe her eyes or ears! The fox handed her a map and said, “Follow this to the castle (城堡), but be careful — the road is full of challenges.” Full of excitement, Emma began her journey. First, she helped a lost little bird find its mother. Then, she planted a magic seed that grew into a tall tree. When she was crossing a river, a tiger stopped her and asked her to solve a riddle (谜语): “I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. What am I?” Emma thought carefully and smiled. “An echo!” she said. “Well done!” said the tiger. Finally, Emma reached the castle. Inside, she found a shining key in a small box. When Emma touched the key, she heard her grandmother calling her name. Suddenly, she was back in the room, holding the book. 5. What happened when Emma opened the book? A.

Running from the Qiantang River in Hangzhou to the city of Ningbo, the Zhedong Canal played an important role in transport (运输) and trade for centuries. Before modern roads and railways, waterways were one of the most important ways to transport goods. Built over 2,000 years ago, the canal was used to transport goods like rice, silk, and tea in ancient China. Even today, some parts of the canal are still in use, mostly for tourism (旅游). Along the canal, there are old towns and bridges. Tourists can see traditional houses, walk along the ancient paths, and take boat rides on the canal. Today, the Zhejiang government is working to protect the canal. They clean the water and repair old buildings. The scenery along the canal is becoming more and more beautiful, especially in spring and autumn. The Zhedong Canal is not just a waterway—it is a symbol of ancient Chinese people’s wisdom and smart engineering. 9. Which of the following is the right map for the Zhedong Canal? A. B. C. D. 10. The underlined word “goods” (in Para.1) means ________ in Chinese. A. 珠宝 B. 武器 C. 游客 D. 货物 11. How old is the Zhedong Canal? A About three thousand years. B. Exactly four thousand years. C. Less than one thousand years. D. More than two thousand years. 12. What is the Zhedong Canal mainly used for today? A. Tourism. B. Transport. C. Education. D. Research. D The Chinese Merganser, also known as the Scaly-sided Merganser, is a rare and beautiful duck. It lives in clean rivers and lakes in East Asia, especially in China and Russia. This bird is famous for its colorful feathers (羽毛). The male has a dark green head, a white neck, and black-and-white scaly patterns on its sides. The female is less colorful but still beautiful with a brownish-gray body. These ducks breed (繁殖) in Northeast China and the Russian Far East during the summer. They usually build their nests in tree holes near water. The mother duck lays (下蛋) about 8 to 12 eggs and takes care of them alone until they hatch. The baby ducks can swim and find food just one day after birth! And they can fly about 60 days later. When winter comes, they fly south to warmer areas, such as the Yangtze River basin in China. Chinese Mergansers mainly eat small fish, insects, and sometimes shrimp. They are good swimmers and divers. They dive underwater to catch their food. They can stay underwater for about 15-20 seconds while hunting. They often work together to drive fish into shallow water, making it easier to catch them. Sadly, there are less than 3,000 Chinese Mergansers left in the wild. The main reason is that human activities have caused water pollution and loss of their habitat (栖息地). Many people are now working to protect them. In China, some nature reserves have been set up to keep these ducks safe and rebuild their habitat. 13. What is the Chinese Merganser famous for? A. Its beauty. B. Its force. C. Its independence. D. Its flying talent. 14. Where do Chinese Mergansers build their nests? A. On the sand. B. In the grass. C. On the tree. D. Under the ground. 15. What can we learn about Chinese Mergansers from the passage? A. They fly to warmer areas to lay eggs every winter. B. They’re endangered because of human activities. C. They often work in groups to look after their babies. D. They mainly live on grass, and sometimes small fish. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面材料，从下列所给的A—E五个选项中选出正确选项。 One summer, Tom and his sister Lily took a trip to the Amazon rainforest.
