The most important body part is your shoulder (肩膀).” “Is it because it holds (支撑) up my head?” I asked. “No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or a loved one when they cry (哭泣).” she answered. “Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life.

What makes them change their colors? Leaves use sunlight, water and air to make food for the trees. This way of making food is called photosynthesis (光合作用). Photosynthesis is important to animals as well as plants. Some animals eat plants. Other animals eat these animals. Summer is playtime. For the leaves of many trees, however, it’s work, work, work! The sun is shining. The leaves are making food for the trees. The trees keep more than enough food deep inside. Leaves are green in summer because they are making food. Leaves also have orange, yellow, or brown colors inside them. During summer, those colors are covered by the green color. Many places get colder in autumn with shorter days and longer nights. Trees get less sunlight, so photosynthesis slows down. Over time, leaves stop making the green chemical (化学物质). The orange, yellow, and brown colors grow when that happens. Once it gets cold enough and ice appears at night, the trees drop their leaves. They do this to keep themselves safe. If the leaves are icy while still on the trees, the trees can be hurt. Trees that drop their leaves are bare (光秃秃) in winter. They use the food they save in summer to get through the cold days and nights. Spring comes before long. Ice and snow disappear and the rains come. The sun shines, and tiny leaves grow from branches. Once again, the leaves use sunlight, water and air to make food. The cycle begins again. 1．What is photosynthesis according to the passage? A．It is a way of growing leaves. B．It is a way of changing colors. C．It is a way to make food for plants. D．It is a way for animals to eat plants. 2．Why are leaves green in summer? A．Because some animals eat plants. B．Because summer is playtime for the leaves of many trees. C．Because there is no other color inside leaves in summer. D．Because they are busy making food for the trees. 3．What stops leaves from making the green chemical in autumn? A．Less air in autumn. B．Less sunlight in autumn. C．Less water in autumn. D．Less time in autumn. 4．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A．The trees. B．The leaves. C．The colors. D．The animals. 5．What is the best title of the passage? A．The importance of the sunlight B．The trees in different seasons C．The colors of the tree leaves D．The changes of the four seasons 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了树叶之所以会变色，是因为它们通过光合作用制造食物。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“This way of making food is called photosynthesis (光合作用).”可知，光合作用是植物制作食物的方法。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Leaves are green in summer because they are making food.”可知，树叶在夏天是绿色的，因为它们正在为树制造食物。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“Trees get less sunlight, so photosynthesis slows down.”可知，秋天树叶停止产生绿色化学物质是因为阳光减少。故选B。 4．词句猜测题。根据第五段“Once it gets cold enough and ice appears at night, the trees drop their leaves. They do this to keep themselves safe. If the leaves turn to ice while still on the trees, the trees can be hurt.”可知，一旦天气变得足够冷，晚上开始结冰，树木就会落叶。它们这样做是为了保证自己的安全。如果树叶还挂在树上就结冰了，那么树木就会受到伤害。所以they指的是树木，故选A。 5．最佳标题题。根据第一段“Why do the leaves on trees have different colors? What makes them change color?”及通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了树叶的颜色及为什么会变色，故“树叶的颜色”符合本文标题。故选C。 Sage Birden, an animal rescuer, said helping animals in need is all about “being kind”. Her animal protection experience in Shanghai began in 2014 after she took care of a friend’s cat. When the cat left,  a cat-shaped hole was left in her heart. As a “proud” member of Shanghai’s animal protection group, Birden remembers one special experience.

There was no way to get the kitten to a safe place, no milk for it. There was nothing.” Birden said. “But I don’t give up easily.” Birden remembered. She asked other volunteers for help. Then she found a driver and made the driver talk to the man who found the kitten. After driving for more than four hours at night, the kitten was finally taken to the person who would take care of it. “Everyone was happy and said, ‘Yes!’ It made us feel that if we work together, we can make it work.” Birden said. When talking about why she helps animals in need, Birden said it’s about “being kind”. “Helping animals doesn’t mean you have to run after a truck that steals cats and dogs.

Let’s have a look. Elephants’ mothers carry (怀孕) their babies for a long time—20 to 22 months. Baby elephants can’t see well at first, so they stay close to their mothers for the first few months of their lives. Orangutans’ (猩猩) mothers are special. For example, they either build a new house or return to an old one every night. Their babies will stay together with their mothers for many years. Baby orangutans depend on (依靠) their mothers longer than any other land animal. Octopuses (章鱼) reproduce only once in their lives and can lay (产卵) up to 200,000 eggs. The mothers protect (保护) these eggs for as long as possible. Scientists even saw one deep-sea octopus protecting her eggs for 53 months. 1．If a mother elephant carries a baby in May, 2025, when will she probably give birth to (诞生) her baby? A．In December, 2025 B．In March, 2026. C．In May, 2026. D．In March, 2027. 2．Why are orangutans’ mothers special? ①Because they will protect their eggs for as long as possible. ②Because their babies will stay with them for many years. ③Because they will teach their babies how to find food and stay safe. ④Because they either build a new house or return to an old one every night. A．①② B．②③ C．②④ D．①④ 3．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “reproduce” in Paragraph 4? A．look for B．eat food C．give birth D．make 4．What’s the structure of this text? (①=Paragraph 1...)

A．The Animals’ Homes B．The Cute Baby Animals C．The Fun Lives of Animals D．The Great Animal Mothers 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文介绍了动物世界中三种伟大的母亲。 1．推理判断题。根据“Elephants’ mothers carry (怀孕) their babies for a long time—20 to 22 months.”可知，大象孕期为20到22个月，所以如果一头母象在2025年5月怀孕了，那么她可能会在2027年1月至3月生下她的孩子。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“Orangutans’ (猩猩) mothers are special. For example, they either build a new house or return to an old one every night. Their babies will stay together with their mothers for many years. ”可知，猩猩的妈妈很特别的原因有：每天晚上不是盖新房子就是回旧房子；幼猩猩多年依赖母亲。故选C。 3．词义猜测题。根据“Octopuses (章鱼) reproduce only once in their lives and can lay (产卵) up to 200,000 eggs.”可知，章鱼一生只繁殖一次并产卵，可推测出“reproduce”意为“繁殖、生育”，与“give birth”意思相近。故选C。 4．篇章结构题。第一段总起介绍动物母亲的主题，第二、三、四段分别描述大象、猩猩和章鱼母亲的具体例子。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。根据“Mother’s Day is a day for people to thank their mothers, but you may not know that there are also many great mothers in the animal world.”及全文内容可知，文章介绍了动物世界中三种伟大的母亲。故选D。 Chinese people don’t just love cooking delicious vegetable dishes.

Chen Kaiyin from Beijing pays 2,000 yuan and “adopts (领养)” a panda at Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo. The zoo will use the money to buy food for its animals. As for Chen, she can learn about the panda’s daily life online and go to the zoo for free. She can also have the chance to look after the animal. Animals like golden monkeys and tigers are also on the adoption list, according to the zoo’s WeChat account. Each animal has its own profile including (包括) a photo, its age, and personality. People can adopt the animals in their own name, in the name of their family or school. The number of visitors goes down greatly. While online adoption helps the Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo get over (克服) hard times. Like Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo, many zoos also face the same kind of problems. ▲ Shanghai Wildlife Park livestreams (网上直播) from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. every day to show how the animals live. Thousands of people watch pandas eat bamboo online. Now, the zoo has many fans on Douyin. In Jiangsu, a cute monkey named Kai Sa becomes a star at Nanjing Forest Safari Park. Many “fans” go and visit it every weekend. Beijing Zoo brings out ice creams in the shape of elephants, giraffes, and pandas. It also makes lovely toy tigers. These new ways make people think that modern zoos should not be places for visitors to just see animals. Zoos can help people know more about animals and then protect them. 1．If we adopt a panda at Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo, we can ________. ① visit the zoo for free                        ② give them a new name ③ know more about its life                     ④ livestream its life on Douyin A．①③ B．①④ C．②③ D．②④ 2．What does the underlined word “profile” mean?

What makes them change their colors? Leaves use sunlight, water and air to make food for the trees. This way of making food is called photosynthesis (光合作用). Photosynthesis is important to animals as well as plants. Some animals eat plants. Other animals eat these animals. Summer is playtime. For the leaves of many trees, however, it’s work, work, work! The sun is shining. The leaves are making food for the trees. The trees keep more than enough food deep inside. Leaves are green in summer because they are making food. Leaves also have orange, yellow, or brown colors inside them. During summer, those colors are covered by the green color. Many places get colder in autumn with shorter days and longer nights. Trees get less sunlight, so photosynthesis slows down. Over time, leaves stop making the green chemical (化学物质). The orange, yellow, and brown colors grow when that happens. Once it gets cold enough and ice appears at night, the trees drop their leaves. They do this to keep themselves safe. If the leaves are icy while still on the trees, the trees can be hurt. Trees that drop their leaves are bare (光秃秃) in winter. They use the food they save in summer to get through the cold days and nights. Spring comes before long. Ice and snow disappear and the rains come. The sun shines, and tiny leaves grow from branches. Once again, the leaves use sunlight, water and air to make food. The cycle begins again. 1．What is photosynthesis according to the passage? A．It is a way of growing leaves. B．It is a way of changing colors. C．It is a way to make food for plants. D．It is a way for animals to eat plants. 2．Why are leaves green in summer? A．Because some animals eat plants. B．Because summer is playtime for the leaves of many trees. C．Because there is no other color inside leaves in summer. D．Because they are busy making food for the trees. 3．What stops leaves from making the green chemical in autumn? A．Less air in autumn. B．Less sunlight in autumn. C．Less water in autumn. D．Less time in autumn. 4．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A．The trees. B．The leaves. C．The colors. D．The animals. 5．What is the best title of the passage? A．The importance of the sunlight B．The trees in different seasons C．The colors of the tree leaves D．The changes of the four seasons Sage Birden, an animal rescuer, said helping animals in need is all about “being kind”. Her animal protection experience in Shanghai began in 2014 after she took care of a friend’s cat. When the cat left,  a cat-shaped hole was left in her heart. As a “proud” member of Shanghai’s animal protection group, Birden remembers one special experience. Volunteers worked together to save a dying kitten in Hangzhou. “It was midnight, and the man who found the kitten didn’t know what to do. No hospital was open, and there was no vet (兽医) around. There was no way to get the kitten to a safe place, no milk for it. There was nothing.” Birden said. “But I don’t give up easily.” Birden remembered. She asked other volunteers for help. Then she found a driver and made the driver talk to the man who found the kitten. After driving for more than four hours at night, the kitten was finally taken to the person who would take care of it. “Everyone was happy and said, ‘Yes!’ It made us feel that if we work together, we can make it work.” Birden said. When talking about why she helps animals in need, Birden said it’s about “being kind”. “Helping animals doesn’t mean you have to run after a truck that steals cats and dogs. But in everyday life, if a kitten is crying, at least you can bring it inside to get it dry and warm, and not let it die.” Birden said. 1．In which year did Sage Birden start her animal protection experience in Shanghai? A．2012. B．2014. C．2016. D．2018. 2．What does “a cat-shaped hole was left in her heart” mean in paragraph 1? A．She got hurt by the cat. B．She missed the cat’s shape.

D．Teamwork. 4．Where was the kitten finally taken? A．To a driver. B．To Birden’s home. C．Back to the place where it was found. D．To the person who would look after it. 5．If Sage Birden sees a crying cat on the street, what is she likely to do? A．Look at it and walk away. B．Try to get it dry and make it warm.

Mother’s Day is a day for people to thank their mothers, but you may not know that there are also many great mothers in the animal world. Let’s have a look. Elephants’ mothers carry (怀孕) their babies for a long time—20 to 22 months. Baby elephants can’t see well at first, so they stay close to their mothers for the first few months of their lives. Orangutans’ (猩猩) mothers are special. For example, they either build a new house or return to an old one every night. Their babies will stay together with their mothers for many years. Baby orangutans depend on (依靠) their mothers longer than any other land animal. Octopuses (章鱼) reproduce only once in their lives and can lay (产卵) up to 200,000 eggs. The mothers protect (保护) these eggs for as long as possible. Scientists even saw one deep-sea octopus protecting her eggs for 53 months. 1．If a mother elephant carries a baby in May, 2025, when will she probably give birth to (诞生) her baby?
