Could fantasy stories become true with the help of science? Sleeping Beauty Could anyone sleep for 100 years? Of course not. But some animals and plants sleep long. Bears and snakes sleep for months through the winter. They slow down their breath, lower body temperatures and don’t eat or drink. Some seeds can dry themselves out and hide in the dark for years. If scientists can move the characteristics (特性) to humans, Sleeping Beauty might be born. Talking to animals In the real world, talking to animals isn’t easy, but scientists are working towards it. Tiny (极小的) cameras have collected thousands of hours’ animal conversations. Then, special programs (程序) connect (把…联系起来) the sounds to possible meanings. These programs may let us talk back to animals in the future. Invisible coat (隐形衣) Some animals are quite good at changing colours to hide themselves. If you want to have an invisible coat, here is good news for you! Scientists have invented new materials that can change the directions of light around objects. So far, they have managed to hide tiny objects. Hiding larger objects, such as humans, is too hard, but the new materials could cover our coat and make us at least harder to be seen (被看见). 1.

There are some important reasons. First, people now live a busy life. They have only small pieces of free time, like when they are on the bus or before sleeping. Short dramas fit this kind of “fragmented (碎片化的) time” well. People can finish one episode easily in their free moments. Second, short dramas tell simple but exciting stories. Many of them have plots (情节) like “becoming better and beating others”. These stories help people feel relaxed and let out their stress from daily life. The fast-paced stories also bring strong feelings to viewers. Third, short dramas have many different topics, such as love, city life and growth. Some stories are close to people’s real life. This makes it easy for viewers to feel connected with the characters. Last, making and spreading short dramas is not hard. They take a short time to make — usually one to two weeks. And they spread quickly on social media platforms like TikTok. Big video platforms, such as Tencent Video, also support short dramas a lot. 1. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How to make short dramas. B. Why short dramas are popular in China. C. When people watch short dramas. D. Where to watch short dramas. 2. Which of the following is NOT a reason for short dramas’ popularity? A. They fit fragmented time. B. They have exciting stories. C. They cost much money to make. D. They have various topics. 3. What does the underlined word “spread” mean in Chinese? A. 制作 B. 传播 C. 观看 D. 收藏 4. Put the reasons for short dramas’ popularity in the order of the passage: ____ . ①They have different and life-like topics. ②They fit people’s fragmented free time. ③Making and spreading them is easy. ④They have simple but exciting stories. A. ②→④→①→③ B. ②→①→④→③ C. ④→②→①→③ D. ④→①→②→③ 5. What can we learn from the passage? A. A short drama lasts 1 hour per episode. B. Short dramas only tell love stories. C. People can watch short dramas on social media. D. Making a short drama takes months. 【答案】BCBAC C Grown-ups (成年人) never understand anything on their own, and it is tiring for children to be always and forever explaining things to them. So then I chose another job and learned to fly airplanes. I lived my life alone, without anyone that I could really talk to, until I had an accident (事故) with my plane in the desert of Sahara six years ago. Something was wrong with my plane. As I had nobody else with me, I decided to try the difficult repairs all alone. The first night, I went to sleep on the sand, a thousand miles from humans’ living places. I felt quite lonely. You can imagine my surprise, at sunrise, when I was awakened by a strange little voice. It said, “If you please, draw me a sheep!” “What?” I shouted, jumping to my feet, completely surprised. I looked carefully all around me. I saw a most special small person, who stood there, looking at me seriously. He was hardly taller than a rosebush. Before I could speak, he repeated, “Draw me a sheep!” I had never drawn a sheep before, but I was so surprised and lonely that I did as he asked. I drew a simple sheep, but he shook (摇动) his head, “No, that one is sickly. Make another.” I tried again, but he said, “This one has too many horns (角). It’s not what I want.” I drew a third, and a fourth, until I grew tired. “I don’t know how to draw sheep any more,” I said, handing him a piece of paper with nothing on it. “Here’s a box. The sheep you want is inside it.” To my surprise, his face lit up, “That’s just what I need! Does it eat a lot of grass?” “Of course. Why do you ask?” “Because where I live, everything is very small. I need a sheep that won’t eat up all my roses.” Roses. The word made me think of the time I was six years old. I found a book named True Stories from Nature, and there was a picture of a huge snake swallowing (吞咽) an elephant. I showed it to grown-ups and asked if it made them scared. They said, “Why would a hat make us scared?” I explained (解释) it wasn’t a hat — it was a huge snake with an elephant inside. But they told me to stop talking about snakes and elephants. They said I should focus on my spelling and arithmetic (算术). That’s when I realized grown-ups never see the true meaning of things. I put away my drawing and decided not to explain anything to them any more. The little prince pulled me back to the present, “Will you promise (承诺) the sheep won’t eat my roses?” “I promise,” I said. And in that moment, I knew I had finally found someone I could talk to. —Adapted from The Little Prince 1. What can we infer (推断) from the writer’s experience with grown-ups when he was six? A.

The writer’s drawing of the snake and the elephant made people scared. D. Grown-ups cared more about children’s studies than the true meaning of things. 2. Why did the writer think he finally found someone he could talk to? A. Because the little prince was good at drawing. B. Because the little prince could understand him. C. Because the little prince lived in a place with roses. D. Because the little prince liked small animals, too. 3.

But the owner John thought it was impossible for his boat to go to Yokohama. Phileas Fogg gave him a lot of money. In the end, John agreed to try. An hour later, they were on their way in the small boat. Travelling 800 miles on a small boat was a dangerous thing to do. It was even more dangerous at the time of the year because the wind was stronger than usual. The boat was going as fast as it could. Then, a storm was coming from the south. John took action right away. He asked the people to close every door and window to stop the water from getting into the boat. All that day, large waves and strong wind pushed the boat. Towards evening, the wind changed direction (方向) and blew across the boat. The waves hit the boat from the side and this was very dangerous. As night came, the storm grew stronger. It was an awful (糟糕的) night. Sometimes, the waves came right over the boat. When daylight came, the storm was almost over, and the day was quite calm. It was the eleventh of November, and they were about one hundred miles from Shanghai. Phileas Fogg had to be in Shanghai that evening to catch the ship to Yokohama. They worked as hard as possible, but the little boat could not make it in time. As they came into the harbour (港湾) in Shanghai, they saw the American ship leaving. —Taken from Around the World in Eighty Days 1. Why did John agree to take Phileas Fogg on his boat? A.

And they don’t need to return the book. The library is only seven square meters in size but houses thousands of books on different subjects. “It might be the smallest library in the world,” said Xu Dawei, the owner. “But in another sense, it’s also the biggest because the books keep moving.” “I’ve read thousands of books,” Xu said. “Books have truly changed my life. The idea of starting a library took shape in 2000, when Xu recommended online a list (清单) of his favorite books to readers, but many of them said they couldn’t find those books nearby. So he began sending his books to readers for free. “They all wrote me letters expressing their thanks. It encouraged me to take it farther, turning my book-gifting into a physical space,” Xu said. “All the readers have to do is to come. Even if they finish a book and decide not to pass it on, at least the book helps them fall in love with reading. That’s what I dream of,” Xu smiled. 阅读回答问题，每题不多于8个词。 1.
