B When my son,Justin,was 4,he found a caterpillar()and put it in a jar.Each day he fed it fresh grass and leaves.In a few weeks,the caterpillar was fat and ready to go to sleep.One morning we found the caterpillar was in a cocoon(). He took me to his room.The cocoon had become clear and we could see wings inside.A few days later,a beautiful black moth()broke free from its cocoon and began to lay eggs( )on the grass.Justin was excited.He knew a moth or butterfly was about to be born. The next day,Justin decided to set the moth free.He took the jar outside,opened it,and the little moth flew out..It circled(盘旋)the yard twice,came back,and landed(降落)on Justin'sarm. Justin picked it up,threw it in the air,and it came back.He tried over and over to set it free,but each time it would return to his arm.After a few return flights()to his arm,the moth finally flew off into the tall grass.

Yakutsk is the capital of Russia's Sakha Republic.It is just 300 miles south of the Arctic Circle(北极圈). How cold is it in winter?Local people don't wear eye glasses outside because they will freeze()to the skin.People there know the key to keeping warm: Just dress warmly,.in layers(分层)，like a cabbage(白菜).During the winter,the city is covered with"ice fog".That happens because the air is so cold.The warmer air from houses,people and cars cannot rise at all. Today,Yakutsk is a center for science,culture and business in Russian Far East Federal Region.But it wasn't like this at first.In 1632,Pyotr Beketov led people to build the city.Then in the 1880s,people found gold and other minerals()there.Now,companies in the Sakha Republic produce26%of the world's raw diamonds(钻石原石) The city has a population of more than 330,000.They mainly live on dairy products( 品)，meat and fish Although there are rich natural resources(资源)，many people live a poor life. Some even live in places worse than their farm animals'living places. Visiting Yakutsk in the winter is not a good idea,but its summers are cool.The city also has much more to offer,like special museums.Permafrost Kingdom is one of the most popular.It is an underground museum with ice sculptures(that never melt.

C.There are more tourists visiting Yakutsk in summer than in winter. D.The government is planning to move the city to a warmer place. 61.Which is the best title for the passage? A.Yakutsk-The Coldest City in the World.B.The Natural Resources in Yakutsk. C.People's Life in the Cold Weather. D.The History of Yakutsk. D Why do kids make seemingly"careless"mistakes?While grown-ups may think it's simply a matter of not listening,sometimes it's about a failure of metacognition() Metacognition is to understand your own thinking process().It's when you're aware of your own thoughts and how you learn and solve problems.It helps you realize what you're doing, make a plan and change your plan if needed to complete hard tasks! Alicia Forsberg,a professor at the University of Sheffield,said,"Metacognition is a skill that plays an important part in learning different types of materials in many subjects."For children, learning how to use metacognition can improve their school grades. 7 Meanwhile failure of metacognition might lead to careless mistakes.Forsberg points out an important part of metacognition called meta-memory.It is the awareness of what we remember and what we've forgotten.The problem for children is that they may not realize they have forgotten something.For example,a child who fails to complete a task may have forgotten the instruction,and not realize it has been forgotten.Children believe that if they don't remember seeing something,it was never there at all.However,grown-ups know forgotten happens quite often. The good news is that there are things teachers and parents can do to help.Forsberg advises asking children what they remember about the instructions for a given task.Even if they think the instructions are easy to remember,they may still have forgotten something,so double-checking is always a good idea.Besides,making children describe what they learned in a lesson can help them realize not everything has been kept in their memory. When children develop a better awareness of their own memory skills,they can use that information to tailor their learning.That understanding might encourage()students to pause()and re-watch a video they are learning from,or to look back at their notes.Children differ in their metacognitive skills,so some might need to go back and look at what they may have forgotten more often. Metacognition is like having a smart helper in your brain,which makes learning easier.If children understand their own thinking skills,they should be able to help themselves learn more effectively and avoid those seemingly"careless"mistakes. 62.According to the passage,why might children make careless mistakes? A.Because they have too many materials to learn. B.Because they are not listening carefully in class. C.Because they fail to realize they have forgotten something. D.Because they dislike most of the subjects they are learning. 63.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A.News about teachers and students B.Ideas for remembering instructions. C.Advice on understanding new lessons. D.Ways of developing kids'metacognition. 64.The words"tailor their learning"in Paragraph 6 probably mean" A.play an active part in groups B.push them to study harder. C.deal with the learning stress. D.find suitable ways of learning. 65.The writer probably agree that metacognition A.guides kids to follow the school rules easily. B.aims to draw kid's attention to their strong points. C.helps kids have a better control over their learning D.encourages kids to take break away from school. (二)、信息还原 阅读下面短文，从所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，其中有一项是多余选项。 Have you ever stopped to look closely at a moss growing on a stone or a giant redwood reaching for the sky?Our planet is full of amazing living things,from the fastest cheetah() to the tiniest ant.But these plants and animals don't live alone.They are all connected in a web of life called an ecosystem. Every living thing plays a role in this network.For example,bees and butterflies are very important for pollination().They carry pollen from flower to flower.66 Without this action,many plants couldn't make fruits or seeds.Bees also communicate with each other to find food and then store sweet honey in their honeycomb. 67 They help to break down dead plants and animals,cleaning the forest and making the soil rich.This process is like magic-it removes decaying()matter,and at the same time,creates nutrient-ich(富营养的)food for living plants.This amazing cycle shows how everything in nature is connected-even death gives life to new growth. Sadly,human activities sometimes break these connections.When we cut down too many trees like bamboo or ginkgo,animals lose their homes.Forests that used to be home to many frogs and butterflies become quiet.68 For this reason,it is ou duty to protect their homes and understand the importance ofevery life. So,what can we do?We can start small.We can protect the environment by planting trees or even growing flowers like roses in our gardens.69 Duing the walk,we can imagine the complex(复杂的)connections between all the living things we see.. 70 When we understand that we are also a part of this ecosystem,we can learn to get on well with nature.Let's promise to be good friends to our planet and all its wonderful living things. A.Protecting nature means protecting ourselves in the long run B.This loss shows us the harm of an unhealthy ecosystem. C.Other small living things,like mushrooms,also play a part. D.We can also take a walk in nature to learn more about it. E.Actually,even the smallest insect can help the ecosystem. F.In fact,over 75 percent of flowering plants need help with pollination. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题60分）》 五.词汇运用（共15小题，每小题1分，计15分）。 请认真阅读下面短文，在空白处填人括号内所给单词的正确形式或时态，使短文通顺。 In a village lived a young and_71(success)businessman,named James.Despite( having a lot,he seldom felt happy because of the72(end)challenges he faced.

The next morning,the old man asked James how his night went.James said 77 (sad),"I didn't sleep at all.I tried_78(hard)than before,but I couldn't get all the camels to sit together." "That's true.As noticed,some camels sat down on their own,while79(other) needed some effort(),and yet many camels didn't sit even after much effort.If you had come back later,you would have seen that some of the camels,even though they didn't sit in the 80 (begin),finally sat down on their own."
