Although farming was new to him,Gill took the challenge and his experiences helped him write his book Ace and the Animal Heroes.The story follows Ace,whose life changes greatly when he moves to the countryside.After trying on a pair of magical wellies(长筒靴),Ace realizes he can speak to the animals,who make up their minds to protect the farm. Gill says that if he had his own pair of magical wellies,he would love to speak to wildlife,especially the wild deer(鹿) that sometimes appear near his farm.As they have no owners,Gill feels like he’s sharing their home.“It’s really interesting to hear what they’re thinking and know where they’re at,”he said. Gill got his ideas for writing from the animals on his family farm.His children,Ace and Chiara,helped out with his book.Together,Gill’s family made sure that the pictures in the book looked like the animals they’d been based on.He said,“All of those have been really great to piece the whole book together.” (　 )59.What did Gill decide to do ten years ago?

C In Dengfeng today,there are more than 50,000 students learning kung fu,a traditional art in China.They come to learn it for many reasons.Some hope to become film stars.Others come to learn skills that will help them get good jobs in future.A few are sent by their parents to learn self-control and hard work. “Attracting(吸引) new students to traditional kung fu has become a problem,” says Hu Zhengsheng,who teaches it at a small school in Dengfeng.Hu fears that his art will soon die out.“It’s hard to convince(说服) kids to spend many years here,because the life of kung fu learners is not easy or interesting,” he says. Hu’s students have to sleep in unheated rooms and keep training hard outside whatever the temperature.To learn kung fu well,they must have a strong will and learn respect(尊重) as well. For old traditions to live on,the young must learn and pass them down.Recently,to attract new students,Hu has brought some changes into his kung fu lessons to make them lively and interesting.Hopefully,more and more students will show interest in learning kung fu.

The main cause is your body clock,a time-keeper inside your body.But how to control and use your body clock?Scientists suggested having a shower before bed.Jumping into the shower around an hour before bed could mean you sleep better. A warm shower helps you relax,and then after it warms you up,your core(核心) body temperature drops.This encourages you to fall asleep more quickly and sleep more soundly. A study in 2019 said that a water temperature of 40 ℃ to 42.4 ℃ produces the best-quality(最优质的) sleep.After people lie down,most of them take about 20 minutes to fall asleep.However,if you have a shower one to two hours before going to bed,you will fall asleep 10 minutes earlier. Core body temperature drops naturally before you sleep,then drops further during the night.It rises again as you wake up.It is thought that taking a warm shower will speed up the drop in temperature before bed,as it brings blood to the surface of the body,and then the heat is given off. (　 )66.What did scientists suggest people do before bed to sleep better? A.Sleep an hour earlier. B.Jump into bed. C.Have a warm shower. D.Set a time clock. (　 )67.What does the underlined word “soundly” probably mean? A.Deeply. B.Poorly. C.Kindly. D.Slowly. (　 )68.Which water temperature produces the best-quality sleep according to the study? A.44.2 ℃.

E A yearbook is a tradition in some high schools.The book contains(包含) the name and the picture of each student in your final year,so that you can remember who you went to school with. A 15-year-old schoolgirl Catherine Cook and her brother David,16,wanted more than this.They thought,“We don’t really know our classmates from just a picture,so why not have a yearbook online? You could learn about people’s musical tastes,the movies they like,and so on.” With their hard work,a website named myYearbook was set up,which soon became popular among schoolmates. On the website,members can connect with each other by sharing movies,music,photos and study guides.Some students feel that they don’t fit in at school,but can make friends more easily online.MyYearbook users can also make virtual(虚拟的) “Lunch Money” by completing activities on the website.They then give it away to charities(慈善机构) in the myYearbook “causes” programme,which has sent 22,000 books to Africa,and bought 20,000 kilos of rice for people without enough food. Running the website did not stop Catherine and David from completing their schoolwork successfully.Now,they go on to university,but still manage to put in 50 hours a week developing the website.

Population Nobody lives in Antarctica all the time!The first people to stay there for a while were fishermen in 1786.Now there are about 5,000 scientists and researchers there in the summer. History of exploration(探险) During 1907-1909,British explorer Earnest Shackleton explored Antarctica on foot.In 1911,two explorers—a British man named Scott and a Norwegian named Amundsen—raced 1,400 kilometres to the South Pole(南极).Amundsen arrived first.

C The Search⁃for⁃Lost⁃Birds list has come to public attention recently.It lists ten kinds of birds that have not been seen in the wild for at least fifteen years.The list is calling on people to search for the rarest(最珍稀的) birds on Earth. There could be several reasons for the long disappearances of the birds on the list.Maybe there have been no studies in areas where they live.Maybe people don’t know where or how to find them.Maybe there are changes to their natural homes because of human activities. This year,four expeditions(考察队) are planning to find eight kinds of birds.If any of these lost birds are found,ways can be found to protect them and help their populations grow.This has happened with birds like the Madagascar pochard.The number of this once⁃lost kind of bird is now increasing.

(　 )66.What is the best title(标题) for the text? A.Ways to Raise Rare Birds B.Bird⁃lovers Around the World C.Searches for the Lost Birds D.Stories About Birds in the Wild D A team of scientists are carrying out a project at the University of Greenwich in London.They are trying to find ways to make food on Mars(火星) in the future.The project is called Feeding Mars.It tries to use water,fish and fish waste to grow fruit and vegetables on Mars. It would take at least 21 months to reach Mars,learn about its surface and return to Earth.So it would be a big help if the spacemen could grow fresh food on Mars itself. Farming on Mars,however,will be very hard.There’s plenty of water that could be taken from ice just below the surface,but the land on Mars is missing the nutrients(养分) that living things need.The team say that they could solve the problem by growing plants and fish together.Fish waste can then be used to provide nutrients for plants. “It is expected that you can grow lots of food,such as vegetables,salads,teas and medicinal plants on Mars,” said Dr Benz Kotzen,who leads the project.“You can even harvest(捕获) fish for food then.” (　 )67.What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 refer to(指的是)? A.The future. B.The project. C.The land. D.The planet. (　 )68.What makes it difficult to farm on Mars? A.Ice below the surface. B.Too much fish waste. C.The missing of living things. D.The poor land condition. (　 )69.How does Dr Benz Kotzen feel about Feeding Mars? A.Hopeful. B.Doubtful. C.Surprised. D.Funny. E The night sky is our earliest library.There,we stored our knowledge,and passed it down around the fire,before we invented the written word. I remember going to the local university for an astronomy(天文学) night when I was a child.That night,I saw Saturn,one of the planets,and its rings with my own eyes for the first time.The rings shone bright against the blackness of space and suddenly the universe(宇宙) wasn’t something that you only read about or imagined in your head.It was right there,and you were a part of it.That moment is priceless. While starlight is good,light pollution here on Earth can be a real problem.For the past 200 years or so,we have used too much electricity(电) to make the night brighter.However,brighter doesn’t usually mean better,especially when a lot of that light shines up into the sky where no one needs it. Luckily,some cities have taken actions,like setting up new downward⁃directing lights along the streets.I hope that more cities will join in and continue the practice of controlling unnecessary lighting,so that more of us can watch the night sky in a way humans have for thousands of years.

When Darrius was 10,he told his father that he liked piano(钢琴) music very much.“It’s too bad you can’t play,” his father said.But the boy took that as a challenge(挑战).“I will show people that I can,” he said to himself. Months later,a neighbor gave him an old piano when she moved away.He taught himself to play the piano and practised for hours a day. Darrius’s favorite piano music is River Flows in You by Yiruma,a Korean musician.It took Darrius a year to learn it.“I have to come up with my own way with only 4 fingers,” he said.When he succeeded,he felt so proud.Later he was lucky enough to play the music together with Yiruma at a famous concert hall!

Keeping a diary helps a lot.Studies have shown that people who keep a diary sleep and feel better.It helps people remember what once happened such as dreams,friendships and happiness.Writing about bad feelings can also help brains get over them and move on.Personally,I learn better about myself and my relationships with others by keeping a diary.For example,when I am fighting with my dad,I’ll try writing from his point and it works!If I want to compare myself with my classmates,I’ll write something like,“I might not have clear skin,but I like my eyes.” Right about now,you might be thinking:it sounds great,but I’m not a good writer;or I’d love to keep a diary,but my handwriting is terrible.Don’t worry!

La Gomera is a small island.This island is almost shaped like a circle.It is very mountainous.Walking from one place to another may be a slow and difficult job.That is why whistling is so useful to the local people.A message can easily be whistled over a couple of miles,while to travel that same distance on foot might take an hour. A good whistler can be heard and understood five miles away.His whistling can be heard even farther away when it is windless.It is said that the record is about nine miles.Anyone who has heard a top whistler will agree that this record is quite possible.

One day,while walking down a country road,Doyne saw a little girl breaking up rocks.She soon learned that 7⁃year⁃old Hima sold the rocks to support her family.With deep sadness,she decided to pay Hima’s tuition(学费) for school.Encouraged by the changes in the child,Doyne thought,“If we can help one child,why not 10?” Doyne felt that the street children’s greatest need was a home.She found a piece of land for sale and bought it with $5,000 she saved from years of babysitting(当临时保姆).In 2008 the Kopila Valley Children’s Home was set up.With the help from the community,another goal was reached in 2010—the Kopila Valley School.Over 350 children now attend the school and over 50 live in the home.

Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for us.And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans.80% of wastewater around the world is not treated at all,and it is running into oceans.But now we have got the technology to treat and reuse the wastewater. While 75% of our planet is covered with water,only about 2% is fresh water—that comes from rivers,lakes,ice and snow.The rest,98% of the water,is in seas and oceans.It is too salty to drink.Then desalination businesses come in.More than 19,000 factories have been built around the world,mostly in coastal countries.They process(加工) more than 92 million tons of water every day.But the technology they use requires a lot of energy. Scientists are working to create a less costly technology.They want to produce 20 times more clean water and make sure everyone has enough.But for now,the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone.

Kicking stone balls During the Qing Dynasty,kicking a stone ball around was a popular game in the northern part of China,and it was often played in winter to keep warm. Playing hide-and-seek Hide-and-seek is a traditional game for children,popular around the nation.There are two ways to play:covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to tease(戏弄) him,or more commonly,others hide and one child must try to find them. Flying kites Kites have quite a long history.The earliest kites were made of wood,instead of paper.The three most famous kites are the Beijing kite,Tianjin kite and Weifang kite.Each has its own feature.For example,the bird-shaped kite with long wings is a special kind of the Beijing kite.

If you’re at a job interview in Japan,don’t look directly into the eyes of the interviewer.It is considered impolite.But if you’re at an interview in the US,you should make eye contact(交流) with the interviewer.If you don’t,the interviewer may think you are not sure about your ability. In the US and some other countries,interviewers aren’t supposed to ask questions about family and personal information.In most countries,however,personal questions are very common during job interviews. In Germany,your interview might begin with a very short conversation followed by a formal(正式的) interview.In Mexico and many other countries,the whole interview might not be formal.

C It’s a cold,grey Sunday afternoon in March.The British are all working in their gardens.They’re digging,cutting leaves and planting new seeds(种子).By summer,their gardens will be full of bright colors. The British love their gardens.A British newspaper recently asked people for their opinions about them.Around 70% of the people felt it was important to spend time in the garden,and over 50% of these described gardening as the most enjoyable thing they ever did. Only one in ten houses in Britain do not have a garden.People who live in houses without gardens often rent(租用) land from the government. At first,only very rich people had gardens.You can still see the gardens around houses with a long history,such as Chatsworth House or Castle Howard.In the early twentieth century,however,gardening became a hobby.People bought different kinds of seeds and plants for their gardens.Although roses,sunflowers and tomatoes are often grown in British gardens,they originally(起初) grew wild in other countries. Every year,there are competitions for the largest vegetables,but don’t expect to win:Britain’s biggest carrot is almost six meters long.  (　　)79.In summer,British gardens are often 　　　　.  A.full of people digging there B.colorful with different plants C.too hot for people to work there D.covered with grey leaves and plants (　　)80.A recent survey showed that　　　　 of the British felt it important to do some gardening.  A.around 70% B.over 50% C.only 20% D.about 10% (　　)81.We can infer from Paragraph 4 that 　　　　.  A.seeds were provided for free B.roses were first grown in Britain C.gardening is a hobby in the world D.the owner of Chatsworth House was rich (　　)82.What does the writer mean by the underlined sentence?

D Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you,and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves?Although it might sound a little far from you,living in a “smart” city like this could happen sooner than you think. Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries,while completely new cities are being built.One such place is the city of Songdo.Every home there will have a “telepresence” system(远程遥控系统)—allowing users to control the heating and locks,take part in video meetings,and receive education,healthcare and government services.Around the city,escalators(自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them,and offices and schools will all be connected to the system. The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco.In fact,technology companies around the world such as IBM,Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business. About 75% of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050,so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems.“Making cities smarter is one way out,and I think this will in turn make cities greener,”said Dan Hill,head of a research company.

C Dear Sunday Globe, I am writing to tell you about your article Smartphones Make Life Easier in last Sunday’s newspaper.You did an excellent job explaining the good points of smartphones,but you didn’t talk about their bad points at all.So,I hope you’ll let me give your readers some advice on smartphone etiquette(礼仪). The first point I’d like to address is loudness.When you talk on your smartphone in public,please don’t shout.In fact,the microphones in smartphones are very sensitive(灵敏的).So,you can be heard even if you speak quietly. Another point is about personal space.I don’t think it is polite to make calls in small spaces full of people.This makes others uncomfortable and forces them to listen to your personal business.What’s worse,it stops many face-to-face conversations from ever beginning. Lastly,doing two things at the same time is dangerous.For example,making calls while driving is a bad habit.Pay attention to the road! Similarly,when staying with your friends,turn off your smartphone and enjoy their company. Yours truly, Amber Jala (　　)79.Amber Jala wrote the letter to　　　　.  A.find a good job B.provide advice C.make her life easier D.buy a smartphone (　　)80.What does the underlined word “address” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

C.It is bad to turn off our phones while driving. D.It is important to use our smartphones properly.
