What do you think will happen if you draw a picture with crayons and cover up that picture with paint? Now follow the steps below to find out the answer.
What you need
*crayons of different colours
*drawing paper
*blue poster paint
*a small bowl
*a cup filled with water
*a paintbrush
How to do it
Step 1
Think about a scene under the sea with different-coloured fish and sea plants. And then draw the fish and sea plants with your crayons. The more colours you use, the better your picture will be.
Step 2
Pour a little blue paint into the bowl. Add a bit of water and stir (搅拌) to make your paint a little thinner.
Step 3
Dip your brush into the blue paint in the bowl. Cover your whole picture with the blue paint. What happens? You have sea plants and animals living in a blue sea!
Why it happens
Your crayons are made of wax (蜡). Wax resists, or stays away from the paint. That’s why it does not cover the picture. So your sea plants and fish are still there.
11. Which tool is needed for Step 1?
A. A paintbrush. B. Different crayons. C. A small bowl. D. Some blue paint.
12. Which picture shows what you do in Step 2?

(Mr. Wormwood sells stolen cars and tries to get more money by cheating others. Matilda, a book lover, hates that.)
Scene One
One morning, just when Mr. Wormwood was setting off to cheat others again, Matilda walked into his room quietly to get the hat he wore each day to work. She was too short and had to get it with a walking-stick.
Holding the hat in one hand and a bottle of superglue in the other, Matilda put some glue very carefully all round the inside rim (边) of the hat. Then she carefully put the hat back.
Scene Two
That evening, when Mr. Wormwood got home, he cried, “I can’t take my hat off and I have to keep it all day!”
“Don’t be silly,” his wife said. “Come here. I’ll take it off for you.”
“Ow-w-w! Don’t do that! Let go! You’ve nearly killed me!” he shouted.
“What’s the matter?” Matilda was standing at the door with a book in her hand.
Mr. Wormwood looked at her doubtfully, but said nothing.
“It must be superglue. Haven’t I told you not to touch the dirty thing?” Mrs. Wormwood said.
“I haven’t touched it!” Mr. Wormwood shouted. He turned and looked again at Matilda, who looked back at him with large innocent (无辜的) brown eyes.
Scene Three
Mr. Wormwood had to keep his hat on all through dinner. Later, he discovered that the worst thing about having the hat was not to take a shower in it, but to sleep in it. “I expect it will be loose (松动) by the morning and then it’ll be taken off easily,” Mrs. Wormwood said.
But the hat wasn’t loose by the morning. So Mrs. Wormwood cut the thing off his head, bit by bit, first the top and then the rim.
At breakfast Matilda said to Mr. Wormwood, “You must try to get those bits off your head. They look like little brown insects. And people will think you’ve got lice (虱子).”
“Be quiet!” Mr. Wormwood shouted. “Just keep your mouth shut!”
All in all, it is a most satisfying exercise. But don’t get your hopes up that it has taught the cheater a good lesson.
(Matilda borrows her friend’s parrot (鹦鹉) and…)
14. What did Matilda put inside Mr. Wormwood’s hat?
A. Some hair. B. Some superglue. C. A book. D. A stick.
15. According to Scene Two, which word best describes Matilda?
A. Creative. B. Friendly. C. Shy. D. Calm.
16. What can we infer from the text?
A. The couple loved each other very much.
B. Mrs. Wormwood really enjoyed cutting hair.

D. Mr. Wormwood wouldn’t cheat others any more.
17. Each picture above matches one scene. Which scene is missing?
A. Scene One. B. Scene Two. C. Scene Three. D. Scene Four.
D
What is a grassland?
A grassland is a biome (生物群落区) that is covered with grasses. Grass is everything to a grassland. Grass is food for animals. Grass can keep the grassland warm and wet. Grass stops the wind from blowing away the soil (土壤).
There are two kinds of grasslands. Temperate grasslands are one kind. Temperate means the environment has a mild climate (温和气候) and four seasons. Temperate grasslands have rich soil. Tropical grasslands are the other kind. Tropical means the environment is near the equator and is warm all year round. Tropical grasslands have a rainy season and a dry season. They usually have more trees and poorer soil than temperate grasslands.
Both temperate and tropical grasslands have a yearly rainfall of 25 to 75 centimeters. With so little rain, the land can dry out. Fires can start easily.
What adaptations (适应性) help grassland plants and animals survive (存活)?
Different grasslands have different kinds of grasses. However, nearly all grassland grasses have adaptations to growing well in dry conditions.
Grasses have deep roots. The roots can take in water and keep nutrients (营养). When a fire burns, everything above ground is destroyed (破坏). Down below, the roots survive. They hold on to their water and nutrients.
After a fire, new stalks can grow from the roots. The old, dead grass becomes part of soil. Gradually, the soil gets richer and richer.
Most grasses have adaptations to growing from the roots. This helps them survive and grow after animals eat the tops of the plants.
Trees that grow in tropical grasslands also have adaptations that help them survive. For example, the baobab tree grows leaves only during the wet season. It loses its leaves during the dry season.
Many kinds of animals live in grasslands. All of them have adaptations that help them survive. Some grassland animals have flat teeth for eating grass. For example, with their flat teeth, zebras bite off (咬下) the tops of grasses that are difficult to cut.
18. What plays the most important role in a grassland?
A. The tree. B. The soil. C. The grass. D. The animal.
19. What do the two kinds of grasslands have in common?
A. The kind of grasses. B. The kind of climate.
C. The number of seasons. D. The low yearly rainfall.
20. What can help grass grow well in dry conditions?
A. Big fires. B. Deep roots. C. Rich soil. D. New stalks.
21. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Zebras use flat teeth for biting off grasses.
B. After a fire, the grass on the grassland dies forever.
C. The leaves of the baobab trees drop during the wet season.
D. Most grasses can’t grow after animals eat the tops of the plants.
22. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. Life in the grassland. B. Fires in the grassland.
C. Plants in the grassland. D. Climate of the grassland.

在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号中词语的正确形式填空。
About 160 years ago, the Austrian scientist Mendel did many important experiments (实验) with pea 23 (plant). After eight years of careful research, he finally discovered the basic (基本的) rules of inheritance (遗传). This helped him make great progress in the study of biology. But for the next hundred years, people still didn’t know why some pea plants were tall 24 some were short.
Then, 25 (amaze) news came! A group of international scientists worked together and found more. This team 26 (lead) by two great scientists, Cheng Shifeng from China and Noel Ellis from the UK. They shared information from their experiments, talked about problems, and tried different ways to solve these problems.
The scientists used modern scientific tools to look at Mendel’s 1865 experiments again. They wanted to learn 27 (much) about the genetic (基因的) changes. So, after 2019, they grew more than 700 kilograms of peas from Britain in China. They built special greenhouses to study the plants. Finally, they discovered the changes in pea genetics. What 28 great success they achieved!
Cheng Shifeng, the group’s lead scientist said, “Mendel found out the rules of inheritance many years ago, but he didn’t know what a gene was and how it worked. Now we can see the changes 29 (clear) from the study.”
Scientists once tried to explain why some pods (豆荚) are green and 30 (other) are yellow. This study has found out some secrets about genes in DNA. The genes can change the colors of peas.
This study shows that 31 modern scientific tools, nowadays we can understand the genetic world better. It’s a great example of how we keep 32 (work) out the mysteries of nature.

It is a well-known fact that the British like to talk about the weather. As a matter of fact, weather-speak is simply a way of helping people feel comfortable in social situations. 33 It is mainly used in three different situations:
· 34
·As a filler (填充语)
·As a form of small talk
Weather-speak is often used as a simple greeting when people meet each other, such as saying “Nice weather today, isn’t it?” It is seen as a safe topic, which will not make anyone unhappy.
It is common to turn to weather-speak to avoid embarrassing silence during a talk.
35
Weather-speak helps lead to conversations about other more important topics, such as work, school or plans for the day.
36 If somebody says “Oh, isn’t it cold?”, a proper reply would be “Yes, isn’t it?” or “Mmm, very cold”. If you said “No actually, it’s quite warm”, you would create a very bad impression (印象).
A. As a polite closing
B. As a simple greeting
C. It helps break the silence and keeps the conversation going.
D. In other words, weather-speak is not really about the weather itself.
E. When talking about the weather with a British person, you are expected to agree.

Yangtze through Youth
The Yangtze River plays an important part in teenagers’ lives. What does the Yangtze mean to young people growing up along it? Let’s read their stories.
Chen Muyang, 15
As a teenager living in Wuhan, the Yangtze River is like a close friend to me. When I was in primary school, I often hung out at Hankou River Beach with my friends. But later, I noticed plastic bags and bottles on the riverbank and floating on the water. It made me sad to see fish die because of pollution.
To make a change, I joined the Yangtze River Protectors’ Team. It is a group made up of middle school students. Every weekend, we go to the riverbank, split into groups to pick up rubbish, and tell people walking by not to litter. Everyone should help protect nature. The government can make more eco-friendly rules, and we can also do our part.
Fang Yihong, 13
Childhood tastes always stay in our hearts. I grew up with the taste of Yangtze River water in every meal. When I left home, I missed this familiar taste very much. I like staying by the riverbank: old women washing vegetables on mossy steps, and people waiting for ferries when dusk comes. Here, the river is more than just scenery — it is life itself. The bridges over the river connect the whole city. When I walk across the big bridge, I can feel it shake a little when trains pass by. To me, home is not just a place on a map. It is in the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the river that flows through our lives.
Huang Jingxuan, 14
To me, the Yangtze River is more than just water and waves. It paints our four seasons and holds all my happy childhood memories with friends.
In spring, we get together to fly kites by the wide river. In summer, we enjoy ice cream and play with water guns, feeling the soft wind blow. In autumn, we pick up leaves from the riverbank to use as bookmarks. In winter, we all ride bikes along the beautiful shore. Every season by the Yangtze leaves a special mark on me.
I believe the river flows through our stories and our blood. It is the city’s pulse. My biggest wish is that the Yangtze will always be full of life, and keep nurturing every child in Wuhan who grows up by its side. We will always protect its beauty in return.
A. The Yangtze is full of seasonal memories of childhood
B. People protect the Yangtze River by cleaning up rubbish
C. The Yangtze provides people with plenty of clean water to drink.
D. The Yangtze stands for hometown feeling and life

Fang Yihong: ______________
Huang Jingxuan: ______________
43. Please write a slogan (口号) for the Yangtze River Protectors’ Team.
