It was morning, and the grass was still wet from the dew. We were excited to see the sunshine after days of rain! Sydney and I were tired of being stuck 31 . “Mom, can we go out and play?” I shouted. “You and Sydney need to clean your rooms 32 . I'm excited to get some fresh air in the house. It's time for a good spring cleaning!” Mom answered. Sydney and I looked at each other and groaned. We wanted to get outside instead of cleaning the room. But we knew we could only go play 33 we finished cleaning. We decided to make it a race to see who could clean their room the fastest. But we had to clean up the right way, or Mom would make us 34 it. “3.. 2... 1... GO!” we shouted. I put my clothes into the hamper(脏衣篓). Then I made my bed and pulled the blanket over it, so it looked perfect, like a 35 picture. All of my books went back on the bookshelf, and my toys and games went back in the closet. “DONE!” I heard Sydney shout from her room down the hall. “Aw, man, I was just about to shout it out. Good job, Sydney,” I said. Sydney jumped up and down.“I never finish cleaning before you, Alaen!” she 36 . She looked so excited that I couldn't even be 37 at my little sister. We ran to the kitchen. Mom was there, getting ready to make her 38 apple pie. Everyone in the family knew it and was waiting for it.“Can we play now?” I asked.“Yes,” she said.“If you play nicely outside, you can have some pie later.” We played in the yard for hours. Then, a wonderful 39 filled the air.“The pie!” Sydney said. We ran inside to see if it was ready. But when we looked at the pie cooling by the window, we were shocked.

Yet now scientific study has made them real. Could other fairy tales come true someday? Sleeping Beauty Could anyone sleep for 100 years? Probably not. The daily cycle of sleep and waking is set in your body.But animals like bears can hibernate(冬眠) through the winter until it warms. If scientists can work out how animals hibernate, maybe one day people could hibernate too. It would be great for spacemen to sleep through the long space journey. But hibernating animals still grow older, so a future Sleeping Beauty might wake up as a Sleeping Grandma. Talk to Animals Talking to animals isn't quite easy. But scientists are trying. Tiny cameras and microphones have collected thousands of hours of animal conversations. Powerful computer programs study animal sounds and match them with possible meanings. Soon they may let us talk back. But there are still challenges. Many animals communicate with smells, body language, and sounds that humans can't hear. And animals don't think like people. So, when we think they' re giving directions to the castle,they' re more likely to be saying“This is my tree!” Let Down Your Hair· Rapunzel lowers her long hair to less visitors in. But could hair really hold up a prince? Surprisingly, yes!A scientific study has found out that a single hair can hold 3 ounces, the weight of a small tomato. And a common head has about 100,000 hairs. All those together could hold up a couple of elephants. A prince? No problem. However, Rapunzel would also need a shorter tower. Human hair only grows a few feet long. The longest hair ever recorded is about 18 feet long—— pretty short for a tower. 41. If spacemen could hibernate, they would . A. stop growing completely B. sleep through space travel C. need more food and water D.communicate with animals 42. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Animals think like people in giving directions. B. Scientists can talk back to animals successfully. C. A common person's hair could hold up a giant panda. D. Rapunzel in the fairy tale has the longest hair in history. 43. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To discuss new inventions for space travel. B. To tell us how scientists influence fairy tales. C. To compare different animals' talking habits. D. To show scientific possibilities behind fairy tales B Imagine a narrow waterway that can shake the global economy. This is the Strait of Hormuz(霍尔木兹海峡)! It lies between Iran and Oman. At its narrowest point, it is only 33 kilometers wide. But it is the only door from the Persian Gulf to the Indian Ocean. For thousands of years, traders and travelers have sailed through it, connecting different cultures and trade across continents(大陆). This small strait is the world's most vital energy lifeline. More than 20% of all oil shipped by sea passes through it, along with huge amounts of liquefied(液化) natural gas. Most of these resources go to countries like China, India and Japan, powering their cities, factories, and homes. If this“throat” were blocked, energy prices would skyrocket(飞涨), and the whole world would feel the shortage. 第4页共8页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 Today, the Strait of Hormuz is still a key guard of global energy security. Its special position makes it a natural“chokepoint”(咽喉要道)—— no other waterway can take its place. As long as the world needs oil and gas, this narrow waterway will remain the most important“energy throat” on Earth. 44. Where is the Strait of Hormuz? A. Between Iran and India. B. Between Iran and Oman. C. Between China and Japan. D. Between the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea. 45. What would happen if the Strait of Hormuz were blocked? A. Energy prices would go down. B. More oil would be shipped by sea. C. Energy prices would rise very fast. D. Countries would stop using oil. 46. The word“vital” in Paragraph 2 probably means . A. dangerous B. small C. wide D. important 47. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The Strait of Hormuz is the only waterway connecting the Persian Gulf to the Indian Ocean. B. Less than 20% of the world's sea-shipped oil goes through the strait. C. The strait is mainly used by tourists and travelers today. D. There are many other waterways that can replace the Strait of Hormuz. C You can't deeply experience Chengdu if you don't prepare to do anything. Sit on a bamboo chair, stretch(伸展)your feet out and let the afternoon slow away. Listen to hot water being poured into teacups. Taste melon seeds(瓜子)or boiled peanuts. And teahouses are the right places for you and should always be on your must-go list. Sichuan is one of China's major tea-producing regions. Chengdu was famous for its teahouses as early as the Tang Dynasty. For centuries, teahouses were places for fun and tea. There, customers can enjoy storytelling, music and especially Sichuan Opera. That is not a popular art form these days, but Yuehai Teahouse beside Jinjiang Theatre still arranges operas every Saturday afternoon. You will find most of Chengdu's traditional teahouses in parks. Heming Teahouse in Renmin Park attracts lunchtime office workers and afternoon visitors. When noise gets too much because of more visitors, move on to Shaocheng Teahouse in the same park. Visitors there are older and quieter. They bring songbirds, hanging their cages in trees, and have fun. However, new-style teahouses have opened to attract the younger generation. They want to taste traditional tea in a more modern style. The most famous one of them is Mi Xun Teahouse in Taikoo Li, which is right in the city's most fashionable shopping area. As in all teahouses, the tea comes in separate packets which can be kept warm. Maofeng green tea from Mount Emei, southwest of Chengdu, is the traditional favourite. Pour the leaves into your cup. Don't let the water level in your cup get too low, since any bad taste from the leaves is left on the bottom. You can enjoy your tea all afternoon and order nothing else. In Chengdu teahouses, people relax themselves by staying away from busy work and life. The capital of Sichuan is developing fast too, out it has managed to keep its slower style that has been lost in many other Chinese cities. 48. The first paragraph leads into the topic by . A. telling a story B. creating a scene C. giving a reason D. asking a question 49. What's the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. The main types of teahouses. B. The address of teahouses. C. Different visitors to teahouses. D. Some activities in teahouses. 50.

He told me that he dreamed of being a writer in fact. Inever believed he could succeed. However, about ten years later, holding up his new book. He has published more than 100 bestsellers. His ability to see himself as a writer shows a concept(理念) known as“possible selves”. It describes how people's future life will be: what they may become, or want to become, or even fear to become. A possible self can bring you far more than daydreams. Your dream can come true if you build a bridge from your“now” self to your possible self. But how do we build that bridge? Here are a few steps you can try. First of all, just take action. If your dream is to succeed in getting a certain job, attend a course and start by taking up that type of work as a hobby or a side job. You should tell yourself that these are the steps you can take to achieve that goal. Secondly, when you have a goal, share it. A study found that the adults who sent weekly progress to a friend completed their goals more easily than those who didn't share their goals. If more friends know about your goal, it is more possible for you to achieve it. That finding was true for all goals. Finally, get advice from the people who you haven't spoken to in years. A lot of research has found that when you' re asking for valuable advice, people in your wider network are more likely to offer it than those closest to you.So, reach out to your weak connections for it when needed.

Ge Garden in Yangzhou is famous for its Four Seasons Rockeries. 第7页共8页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 Gardens in the south are mostly small in size.
