It’s always a good thing to have a hobby. For Miss Patty, a school bus driver in Erie County, her hobby of knitting (编织) has made her really touch the community.
Miss Patty always wanted to do something with her spare time to help the students. After a conversation with one of the students, things took a turn from knitting one hat to knitting more hats.
“The one boy gets on the bus, and he goes ‘What are you doing?’ I said, ‘I’m making a hat.’ He said, ‘That would be great to have such a warm hat in the icy winter.’ So I said, ‘What color would you like?’ That started everything,” Miss Patty told the local newspaper.
Several years have passed since that day, and Miss Patty has already knitted 7,083 hats for students in her spare time. Sometimes she will get the students’ favorite color before she begins the project.
What is more moving is that Miss Patty buys all the materials (材料) using her own money. Some people do give her gift cards around the holidays to help, but she still puts out a lot of her own money.

In India, there is a popular mobile museum. It travels around the most rural parts of India and helps the schoolchildren there to learn about Indian history.
The idea of the mobile museum was first brought up by the workers at a famous Mumbai museum. Later they received help from the government and got two large coach buses with museum-like exhibitions. The mobile museum has so far travelled over 50,000 miles and visited 700 cities.
“Even today, many children in rural areas don’t think museums are great tools to help with their studies. And we want to change that. If you can’t visit a museum, we can bring it to you,” says Krutika Mhatre, head of the mobile museum project. The exhibitions of the mobile museum will be changed every six months.
There are many things on show at the mobile museum, for example, traditional Indian games and old Indian money.
Many cities and towns in India didn’t have a museum for people to go to, and many of the students didn’t even know what a museum was.
India is a country with thousands of years of history, so the mobile museum is important in protecting its culture by making it known to as many young people as possible.
46. What can we learn about the mobile museum from Paragraph 1?
A. Who started it. B. How it works. C. When it opened. D. What it shows.
47. What can we know from what Krutika says?
A. Museums can help children a lot. B. Museums need help from rural areas.
C. Museums should change their exhibitions often. D. Museums often bring useful tools to rural areas.
48 What does the last paragraph tell us?
A. The cost of the mobile museum. B. The history of the mobile museum.
C. The symbol of the mobile museum. D. The importance of the mobile museum.
49. Why did the writer write the text?
A. To ask us to visit the mobile museum.
B. To ask us to do something for the mobile museum.
C. To tell us something about the mobile museum in India.
D. To tell us something about the biggest museum in India.

Do you like eating chicken? Recently, Giuseppe Scionti, an Italian scientist, made some fake (假的) chicken with a 3D printer (打印机). And the special chicken is on the menu in some restaurants in Barcelona, Spain.
Scionti made the chicken from rice, peas and seaweed. “The ingredients (原料) are all natural and they are safe for food use anywhere in the world,” he said. I tried it myself. The taste is good, but it doesn’t taste like real animal meat, yet.” Scionti has talked with some restaurants about selling the chicken. He said people were very interested. A cook said, “They cook really well. They don’t burn or stick to the pan.”
Why did Scionti make the fake chicken? “Meat production can cause a big environmental problem. I want to help to solve it,” he said.
Though the chicken is eatable, Scionti thinks more work is still needed to make it look tastier. “We will improve the appearance (外观)next, because it will decide whether people would like to try it or not,” Scionti said.

A. The fake chicken tastes like real animal meat.
B. People are not interested in the fake chicken yet.
C. Scionti made the fake chicken from natural ingredients.

It’s always a good thing to have a hobby. For Miss Patty, a school bus driver in Erie County, her hobby of knitting (编织) has made her really touch the community.
Miss Patty always wanted to do something with her spare time to help the students. After a conversation with one of the students things took a turn from knitting one hat to knitting more hats.
“The one boy gets on the bus, and he goes ‘What are you doing?’ I said, ‘I’m making a hat.’ He said, ‘That would be great to have such a warm hat in the icy winter.’ So I said, ‘What color would you like?’ That started everything,” Miss Patty told the local newspaper.
Several years have passed since that day, and Miss Patty has already knitted 7,083 hats for students in her spare time. Sometimes she will get the students’ favorite color before she begins the project.
What is more moving is that Miss Patty buys all the materials (材料) using her own money. Some people do give her gift cards around the holidays to help, but she still puts out a lot of her own money.
Along with making hats for the students that will keep them warm, Miss Patty also gets praise for being a trusted friend to the students.

C. She knits hats of different colors for kids. D. She buys materials with her own money.
42. Which of the following best describes Miss Patty?
A. Caring. B. Shy. C. Clever. D. Honest.

In India, there is a popular mobile museum. It travels around the most rural parts of India and helps the schoolchildren there to learn about Indian history.
The idea of the mobile museum was first brought up by the workers at a famous Mumbai museum. Later they received help from the government and got two large coach buses with museum-like exhibitions. The mobile museum has so far travelled over 50,000 miles and visited 700 cities.
“Even today, many children in rural areas don’t think museums are great tools to help with their studies. And we want to change that. If you can’t visit a museum, we can bring it to you,” says Krutika Mhatre, head of the mobile museum project. The exhibitions of the mobile museum will be changed every six months.
There are many things on show at the mobile museum, for example, traditional Indian games and old Indian money.
Many cities and towns in India didn’t have a museum for people to go to, and many of the students didn’t even know what a museum was.
India is a country with thousands of years of history, so the mobile museum is important in protecting its culture by making it known to as many young people as possible.
46. What can we learn about the mobile museum from Paragraph 1?
A. Who started it. B. How it works. C. When it opened. D. What it shows.
47. What can we know from what Krutika says?
A. Museums can help children a lot. B. Museums need help from rural areas.

C. The symbol of the mobile museum. D. The importance of the mobile museum.
49. Why did the writer write the text?
A. To ask us to visit the mobile museum.

Do you like eating chicken? Recently, Giuseppe Scionti, an Italian scientist, made some fake (假的) chicken with a 3D printer (打印机). And the special chicken is on the menu in some restaurants in Barcelona, Spain.
Scionti made the chicken from rice, peas and seaweed. “The ingredients (原料) are all natural and they are safe for food use anywhere in the world,” he said. I tried it myself. The taste is good, but it doesn’t taste like real animal meat, yet.” Scionti has talked with some restaurants about selling the chicken. He said people were very interested. A cook said, “They cook really well. They don’t burn or stick to the pan.”
Why did Scionti make the fake chicken? “Meat production can cause a big environmental problem. I want to help to solve it,” he said.
Though the chicken is eatable, Scionti thinks more work is still needed to make it look tastier. “We will improve the appearance (外观)next, because it will decide whether people would like to try it or not,” Scionti said.

Today, big shopping festivals like “June 18” and “Double 11” are very popular with us. But do you know people in ancient times also had shopping festivals?
Shopping festivals in ancient times were in fact the market days. They were often on given days at given places. On these days, people would go to the market to shop. There were also big shopping days at important festivals like the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival. Moreover, people could go shopping on some special days they called Chong Ri Jie, for example, the first day of the first month, the second day of the second month, and the like.
Today, we can buy almost everything we want in shops or online. What could the ancient people buy? In fact, there were lots of things for them to choose from, such as food, clothes, animals, books, paintings... And there were also second-hand things and even things from other countries!
Like today’s sellers, sellers in ancient times also made good use of advertisements to sell more things. The most common advertisement was their shouts. They had different shouts for different things. The sellers also had great sales and interesting games to make more people want to buy their goods. How great!
