Do you know why the cat is not in the Chinese zodiac (生肖)? There is a famous Chinese folk story about this. The Jade Emperor (玉皇大帝) asks all animals to take part in a race. The first 12 animals to finish the race will become parts of the zodiac. At that time, the cat and the rat are good friends. When they hear about the race, the cat says to the rat, “We should get up early for the race, but I usually wake up late.” The rat says he will make his friend get up early and they can go together.
However, on the morning of the race, the rat is so happy that he doesn’t wake the cat up. He goes to the gathering area himself for the race and wins the first place in the race. An ox comes next, and then a tiger. The cat wakes up late and he finds that the race is already over. The cat doesn’t like the rat at all after that. That is why cat missed its chance to be in the Chinese zodiac. Of course, it is only a myth story.

In the town of Lampang in northern Thailand, there is an unusual group of musicians. They play many different kinds of music—from traditional Thai songs to music by Beethoven. Both children and adults love this group. What makes them so popular? Is it their music? Their looks? Yes, it’s both of these things, but it’s also something else: they’re elephants.
These musical elephants are from the Thai Lampang. The TECC protects elephants. It teaches people to understand and care for these huge but gentle animals. And, like many zoos around the world, the TECC encourages elephants to paint. Richard Lair works with the TECC. He knew that elephants hear better than they see. So he had an idea: if elephants are smart and they have good hearing, maybe they can play music. To test his idea, Lair and a friend started the Thai Elephant Orchestra (管弦乐队). During a show, the elephants played different instruments, including the drums. They also used their voices and trunks to make sounds.
But can elephants really make music properly? Yes, says Lair. They’re very creative. Humans may encourage the animals to play instruments, but the elephants make their own songs; they don’t just copy other trainers or other people. There are now albums (专辑) of the group’s music, which make money for the TECC. And the music these artists create is pretty amazing.
9. What does the underlined word “them” refer to?
A. Musicians. B. Children. C. Adults. D. Singers.
10. Why did Richard Lair start the Thai Elephant Orchestra?
A. Because he wanted to make money.
B. Because he knew elephants were good at painting.
C. Because he thought elephants might be able to play music.
D. Because he wanted to protect the animals.
11. What is the most important point about the elephants’ music?
A. Their music helps raise money for TECC.
B. They create new songs by themselves, not only copy others.
C. Humans must encourage them to play.
D. Their large size makes their music amazing.
12. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. How to train elephants to dance.
B. The elephants that play music in Thailand.
C. The popular music in northern Thailand.
D. We should love and protect elephants.
D
Wukong, Tiangong, Tianwen...Do you know where the names of Chinese space programs come from?
Wukong, the Dark Matter Explorer satellite (暗物质探测卫星), is named after Chinese superhero Monkey King. According to Journey to the West, Monkey King has a pair of sharp eyes which can tell the difference between good and evil (邪恶). The Wukong satellite is just as sharp-eyed as Monkey King to help scientists search for dark matter in space.
The name of the space station, Tiangong, means “Heavenly Palace”. In Chinese myths, this is the home of Tian Di. Now Tiangong Space Station is the home for Chinese astronauts in space. And China welcomes foreign astronauts to Tiangong so that they can work together.
Tianwen, China’s Mars mission gets its name from the poem Tianwen by Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan is a well-known poet in ancient China. In Tianwen, he showed his hunger for knowledge about the nature and the stars. Perhaps the Tianwen mission will end up answering some of Qu Yuan’s questions.
If you look into more names of Chinese space programs, you will find that they all have beautiful meanings. We, the Chinese people, have a long-cherished (珍藏已久的) space dream. So the names of Chinese space programs are taken very seriously.
13 What is Wukong satellite used for?
A. Finding the difference between good and evil.
B. Answering some of Qu Yuan’s questions.
C. Helping scientists search for dark matter in space.
D. Welcoming foreign astronauts to the space station.

15. Why do we take the name of Chinese space programs seriously?
A. Because we want to land on Mars.
B. Because we want to protect the Earth.
C. Because we have a hunger for truth.
D. Because we have a dream for space.
16. What can be the best title for this passage?

Team spirit means the willingness of people to work together and help each other as part of a team. With this spirit, people try hard to make their team the best of all. Everyone has experienced team spirit one way or another whether they were part of a team or saw a group of people cheer for their favorite player or team.
There are different kinds of team spirit. One kind is the connection between a team of people because their hard work and cooperation are necessary in reaching a goal. Another kind is when a group of people support a person or a team. Another is people’s natural love for and pride in their country, when a whole nation cheers for its country in competitions.
Team spirit creates various good influences. Team spirit creates friendship and trust between people. People may not get along when they don’t have it. There may also be bad influences. Too great team spirit may cause arguments or fights with other team members.

【答案】Possible version:
Helping Others
Many people think helping others is helping themselves. I think it’s true, and I think helping others is also a chance to improve myself. Last Friday afternoon, my mom was so busy and came back home very late. So I wanted to help her cook dinner. I chose to fry potatoes. I cleaned all the potatoes and cut them. However, I was afraid to fry them with oil. With my mother’s help, I put the potatoes in the pot very carefully and I made it successfully. From the experience of helping my mother, I realized helping others is helping myself. Also, helping my mom to cook teaches me to solve problems by myself. I believe that I can keep improving myself by helping others in different ways.
