Does it really matter if we know how old animals are? To many scientists, it does.
When studying animal populations, it is of great importance to scientists to know how many animals there are and how old they are. This information can help scientists learn which animals are thriving and which ones need more care and help. Scientists usually use the following ways to tell animals’ age.
For many animals, their teeth can help scientists know their age. In some animals, some teeth don’t come in until a certain age. Take cows for example. Like humans, cows have two sets of teeth, milk teeth and permanent teeth. They normally get their first pair of permanent teeth when they’re two years old. Then they have the next pair at the age of three, the third pair at the age of four…
Hair and skin can also provide information about age. Some animals tend to get bad skin and gray hair as they get older. If you have an older dog, you may have noticed that its nose and mouth get grayer as it gets older.
Animals’ eyes and ears might also help scientists tell animals’ age. As animals get older, their hearing often becomes weak and their eyesight might begin to fail.
Scientists are continuing to discover new and more ways of telling the age of animals. Recently, scientists have learned that ▲ . That’s really good news!

Trains connect not only cities but also people. Through railways, people move and communicate more, which is important for the development of a country. Indonesia’s first railway was built in 1867. It was the second Asian country ever had railways. However, with the development of society and population growth, the railways in Indonesia couldn’t meet people’s needs. The country needed new railways!
It’s worth celebrating that China has helped Indonesia build a high-speed railway! It is the first high-speed railway in the country, as well as in Southeast Asia. The high-speed railway between Jakarta and Bandung is about 142 km long. The railway is the first overseas high-speed railway project that fully uses Chinese technology and standards.
The train can carry about 600 people. There is one first-class car, six second-class cars and one dining car. It can run at a top speed of 350 km/h. Thanks to the high-speed railway, it takes much less time to travel between Jakarta and Bandung. “It used to take about 3 hours to travel between Jakarta and Bandung, but the time is now about 40 minutes by taking the new train,” says someone from Bandung. The railway brings a lot of benefits to people along the way. For example, it provides lots of jobs during its building. It also helps with the business along the way.
High-speed railways meet people’s need to move between different places. More countries, especially Southeast Asian countries, may build their high-speed railways with Chinese products, after seeing the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway. The railway is proof that Chinese technology for high-speed railways has won international acceptance.
33. Which is TRUE about the high-speed train from Jakarta to Bandung?
A. It has 8 cars in total.
B. It is about 142 km long.
C. It can carry about 6000 people.
D. It can run at a top speed of 350 miles per hour.
34. Which are the benefits brought by the high-speed railway?
①providing jobs during its building ②improving Indonesia’s technology overseas
③helping with the business on the way ④saving about 140 minutes during the journey
A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④
35. According to the last paragraph, what can we infer?
A. High-speed railways are the most important for a country’s development.
B. Indonesia didn’t have railways to let people move between different places.
C. Chinese technology for high-speed railways only won acceptance from Southeast Asian.
D. More Southeast Asian countries may build high-speed railways with Chinese technology.
36. Which is most probably the title of the passage?
A. Benefits of Building Railways
B. Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway
C. The Friendship between China and Indonesia
D. Quick Developments in Chinese Technology

Dopamine, known as the “source of pleasure”, is a chemical that is released in the brain and provides people with a feeling of reward and motivation. Now, China’s young people are seeking to wear that joyfulness on their bodies, giving rise to the fashion craze — “dopamine dressing style”. Mainly characterized by bright colours, this dressing style is described by many Chinese netizens as “healing” and “a mood booster (调压器)”. It is part-fashion, part-mindfulness.
Dopamine dressing is nothing new. In fact, a study published in 2012 found that when participants (参与者) were asked to wear clothing that held some symbolic meaning, their perceived (感知的) confidence increased. The study determined that clothing can have a direct influence on their psychological (心理的) process.
“When we are confident, we are able to exert influence through our confidence alone.” behavioral psychologist Carolyn Mair explained. “When we feel good, we are likely to be perceived as looking good too, as our posture, voice and other nonverbal aspects will be more positive.”
Another 2015 study found that the outfits we wear can directly influence how we think. It suggested that dressing in a certain way can influence the way we make decisions. “What we wear is how we show ourselves to those we interact with — we are influenced by their reaction to it. If we are well received, it boosts our confidence and can ultimately affect our general health and happiness,” Mair added.
In fact, dopamine dressing is different for everyone. It’s about wearing the clothes that make you feel good. It could be joggers and a sport shirt; it could be your favourite pair of jeans; or it could be that dress you were saving for a special occasion. For some, bright colours are what boost their mood.
Colour psychologist Karen Haller said, “Colour is a great way to lift our spirits and boost. our moods in an instant. Our confidence can be boosted when we wear colours that we love and feel good in. We instinctively feel and behave differently around colours because of how we take the colours in through our eyes and through the part of our brain where our emotions reside.”
Ultimately, dopamine dressing is whatever makes you feel good. The most important thing is to have fun with it.
37. According to Para. 1, which is NOT one of the features of “dopamine dressing style”?
A. It is described as “healing”.
B. It can help to improve people’s moods.
C. The clothes are mainly in dark colours.
D. The style is not only fashionable but also joyful.
38. What can we know from the studies published in 2012 and 2015?
A. All the clothes have their symbolic meanings.
B. The right clothes can change the way we think and feel.
C. Participants are confident when asked about the clothes they are wearing.
D How we make decisions is one of the elements affecting the outfits we choose to wear.
39. Why does the writer quote (引用) the words of Carolyn Mair and Karen Haller?
A. To stress the importance of wearing fashionable clothes.
B. To show that many people are fans of the new dressing style.
C. To explain how the dopamine dressing style may influence people’s moods.
D. To display how popular the dopamine dressing style is among different groups of people.
40. What is most probably the writer’s opinion about dopamine dressing?
A. Dopamine dressing is the style that helps us make decisions.
B. Dopamine dressing is to wear any clothes that make you feel good.
C. Dopamine dressing is the style that heals you with its fashionable design.
D. Dopamine dressing is about choosing colourful clothes to make you look special.

Chinese operas are traditional dramas including literature, music, dance, martial arts (武术), and acrobatics (杂技). There are many local Chinese operas and some enjoy great popularity. Among them, Beijing Opera is the most famous type of opera in China.
In the beginning, Beijing did not have its own style of opera. According to legend, Emperor Qianlong (1711—1799) had seen and enjoyed some Huiban performances when he toured Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province. The word “ban” means an opera company, while the word “hui” probably refers to Anhui Province. There were many famous Huiban groups performing in Yangzhou, and they performed various opera styles, including Erhuang and kunqu. Since Qianlong had enjoyed Huiban performances so much, four Huiban groups were invited to perform in Beijing for Qianlong’s 80th birthday celebration in 1790, which proved successful. From then on, they lived in the capital, mostly performing for the palace, and then later also performing for the public. Over the years, Beijing Opera developed and changed, borrowing parts of other opera styles, particularly Kunqu Opera, which had been popular in the palace before 1790. Over time, it developed its own artistic style and a complete performing system (表演体系). It is now considered as the crown of Chinese opera.
Singing, recitation, acting, and acrobatic fighting (唱、念、做、打) are the four artistic means and the four basic skills of Beijing Opera. Footwork (腿脚功夫) and other movements express the actions such as riding a horse, rowing a boat, opening a door, going upstairs, climbing a hill, or travelling. Beijing Opera is a number of stylized (非写实的) actions to tell a story or present different characters and their feelings of happiness, anger, sorrow, surprise, fear and sadness.
There are many famous masters who are good at performing Beijing Opera. Among them, the Four Famous Dans—Mei Lanfang, Cheng Yanqiu, Shang Xiaoyun and Xun Huisheng are the most well-known. They are experts in performing the role of Dan and each has its own artistic feature. Their wonderful performances are still praised by many people.
Beijing Opera is a prized form of theater in China. It continues to bring to life many ancient stories and heroes, which enchants (使陶醉) many Chinese people and foreigners with its artistic charm. As the most influential type of opera in China, Beijing Opera is an important form of expression of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation. It is sure that it is really the treasure of Chinese culture.

Does it really matter if we know how old animals are? To many scientists, it does.
When studying animal populations, it is of great importance to scientists to know how many animals there are and how old they are. This information can help scientists learn which animals are thriving and which ones need more care and help. Scientists usually use the following ways to tell animals’ age.
For many animals, their teeth can help scientists know their age. In some animals, some teeth don’t come in until a certain age. Take cows for example. Like humans, cows have two sets of teeth, milk teeth and permanent teeth. They normally get their first pair of permanent teeth when they’re two years old. Then they have the next pair at the age of three, the third pair at the age of four…
Hair and skin can also provide information about age. Some animals tend to get bad skin and gray hair as they get older. If you have an older dog, you may have noticed that its nose and mouth get grayer as it gets older.
Animals’ eyes and ears might also help scientists tell animals’ age. As animals get older, their hearing often becomes weak and their eyesight might begin to fail.
Scientists are continuing to discover new and more ways of telling the age of animals. Recently, scientists have learned that ▲ . That’s really good news!

Trains connect not only cities but also people. Through railways, people move and communicate more, which is important for the development of a country. Indonesia’s first railway was built in 1867. It was the second Asian country ever had railways. However, with the development of society and population growth, the railways in Indonesia couldn’t meet people’s needs. The country needed new railways!
It’s worth celebrating that China has helped Indonesia build a high-speed railway! It is the first high-speed railway in the country, as well as in Southeast Asia. The high-speed railway between Jakarta and Bandung is about 142 km long. The railway is the first overseas high-speed railway project that fully uses Chinese technology and standards.
The train can carry about 600 people. There is one first-class car, six second-class cars and one dining car. It can run at a top speed of 350 km/h. Thanks to the high-speed railway, it takes much less time to travel between Jakarta and Bandung. “It used to take about 3 hours to travel between Jakarta and Bandung, but the time is now about 40 minutes by taking the new train,” says someone from Bandung. The railway brings a lot of benefits to people along the way. For example, it provides lots of jobs during its building. It also helps with the business along the way.
High-speed railways meet people’s need to move between different places. More countries, especially Southeast Asian countries, may build their high-speed railways with Chinese products, after seeing the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway. The railway is proof that Chinese technology for high-speed railways has won international acceptance.
33. Which is TRUE about the high-speed train from Jakarta to Bandung?
A. It has 8 cars in total.
B. It is about 142 km long.
C. It can carry about 6000 people.
D. It can run at a top speed of 350 miles per hour.
34. Which are the benefits brought by the high-speed railway?
①providing jobs during its building ②improving Indonesia’s technology overseas
③helping with the business on the way ④saving about 140 minutes during the journey
A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④
35. According to the last paragraph, what can we infer?
A. High-speed railways are the most important for a country’s development.
B. Indonesia didn’t have railways to let people move between different places.
C. Chinese technology for high-speed railways only won acceptance from Southeast Asian.
D. More Southeast Asian countries may build high-speed railways with Chinese technology.
36. Which is most probably the title of the passage?
A. Benefits of Building Railways
B. Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway
C. The Friendship between China and Indonesia
D. Quick Developments in Chinese Technology

Dopamine, known as the “source of pleasure”, is a chemical that is released in the brain and provides people with a feeling of reward and motivation. Now, China’s young people are seeking to wear that joyfulness on their bodies, giving rise to the fashion craze — “dopamine dressing style”. Mainly characterized by bright colours, this dressing style is described by many Chinese netizens as “healing” and “a mood booster (调压器)”. It is part-fashion, part-mindfulness.
Dopamine dressing is nothing new. In fact, a study published in 2012 found that when participants (参与者) were asked to wear clothing that held some symbolic meaning, their perceived (感知的) confidence increased. The study determined that clothing can have a direct influence on their psychological (心理的) process.
“When we are confident, we are able to exert influence through our confidence alone.” behavioral psychologist Carolyn Mair explained. “When we feel good, we are likely to be perceived as looking good too, as our posture, voice and other nonverbal aspects will be more positive.”
Another 2015 study found that the outfits we wear can directly influence how we think. It suggested that dressing in a certain way can influence the way we make decisions. “What we wear is how we show ourselves to those we interact with — we are influenced by their reaction to it. If we are well received, it boosts our confidence and can ultimately affect our general health and happiness,” Mair added.
In fact, dopamine dressing is different for everyone. It’s about wearing the clothes that make you feel good. It could be joggers and a sport shirt; it could be your favourite pair of jeans; or it could be that dress you were saving for a special occasion. For some, bright colours are what boost their mood.
Colour psychologist Karen Haller said, “Colour is a great way to lift our spirits and boost. our moods in an instant. Our confidence can be boosted when we wear colours that we love and feel good in. We instinctively feel and behave differently around colours because of how we take the colours in through our eyes and through the part of our brain where our emotions reside.”
Ultimately, dopamine dressing is whatever makes you feel good. The most important thing is to have fun with it.
37. According to Para. 1, which is NOT one of the features of “dopamine dressing style”?
A. It is described as “healing”.
B. It can help to improve people’s moods.
C. The clothes are mainly in dark colours.
D. The style is not only fashionable but also joyful.
38. What can we know from the studies published in 2012 and 2015?
A. All the clothes have their symbolic meanings.
B. The right clothes can change the way we think and feel.
C. Participants are confident when asked about the clothes they are wearing.
D. How we make decisions is one of the elements affecting the outfits we choose to wear.
39 Why does the writer quote (引用) the words of Carolyn Mair and Karen Haller?
A. To stress the importance of wearing fashionable clothes.
B. To show that many people are fans of the new dressing style.
C. To explain how the dopamine dressing style may influence people’s moods.
D. To display how popular the dopamine dressing style is among different groups of people.
40. What is most probably the writer’s opinion about dopamine dressing?
A. Dopamine dressing is the style that helps us make decisions.
B. Dopamine dressing is to wear any clothes that make you feel good.
C. Dopamine dressing is the style that heals you with its fashionable design.
D. Dopamine dressing is about choosing colourful clothes to make you look special.

Chinese operas are traditional dramas including literature, music, dance, martial arts (武术), and acrobatics (杂技). There are many local Chinese operas and some enjoy great popularity. Among them, Beijing Opera is the most famous type of opera in China.
In the beginning, Beijing did not have its own style of opera. According to legend, Emperor Qianlong (1711—1799) had seen and enjoyed some Huiban performances when he toured Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province. The word “ban” means an opera company, while the word “hui” probably refers to Anhui Province. There were many famous Huiban groups performing in Yangzhou, and they performed various opera styles, including Erhuang and kunqu. Since Qianlong had enjoyed Huiban performances so much, four Huiban groups were invited to perform in Beijing for Qianlong’s 80th birthday celebration in 1790, which proved successful. From then on, they lived in the capital, mostly performing for the palace, and then later also performing for the public. Over the years, Beijing Opera developed and changed, borrowing parts of other opera styles, particularly Kunqu Opera, which had been popular in the palace before 1790. Over time, it developed its own artistic style and a complete performing system (表演体系). It is now considered as the crown of Chinese opera.
Singing, recitation, acting, and acrobatic fighting (唱、念、做、打) are the four artistic means and the four basic skills of Beijing Opera. Footwork (腿脚功夫) and other movements express the actions such as riding a horse, rowing a boat, opening a door, going upstairs, climbing a hill, or travelling. Beijing Opera is a number of stylized (非写实的) actions to tell a story or present different characters and their feelings of happiness, anger, sorrow, surprise, fear and sadness.
There are many famous masters who are good at performing Beijing Opera. Among them, the Four Famous Dans—Mei Lanfang, Cheng Yanqiu, Shang Xiaoyun and Xun Huisheng are the most well-known. They are experts in performing the role of Dan and each has its own artistic feature. Their wonderful performances are still praised by many people.
Beijing Opera is a prized form of theater in China. It continues to bring to life many ancient stories and heroes, which enchants (使陶醉) many Chinese people and foreigners with its artistic charm. As the most influential type of opera in China, Beijing Opera is an important form of expression of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation. It is sure that it is really the treasure of Chinese culture.

Everybody Can Be a Winner
A winner’s attitude: it may be difficult but it is possible. Let me share my story.
In the path of life, we often encounter various difficulties. Some people choose to give up, while others choose to face and overcome difficulties. I remember when I was in the third grade of elementary school, my teacher asked me to participate in the rope skipping competition. Because I was not good at rope skipping, I wanted to give up this opportunity. But both my teacher and mother encouraged me to participate in this competition. Then I practiced skipping rope every morning and evening. I jumped faster and faster. On the day of the competition, I won the first prize. From then on, when I encounter difficulties, I always tell myself that I must face them bravely and strive to overcome them in order to achieve success.
Do you want to be a winner? Just remember: it may be difficult but it is possible. If you face it and overcome it, you will be a winner.
