Have you ever watched a spider build a web? Or seen a shark's skin up close? These are not accidents. Nature has developed amazing structures over millions of years. Scientists study these structures to create new materials. This field is called biomimicry.
Take the spider, for example. Its silk is stronger than steel but much lighter and more flexible. Scientists have used this idea to create super-strong fibers for medical stitches and bulletproof vests. One day, we might have ropes that never break and bandages that help wounds heal faster.
Another example is shark skin. It is covered with tiny tooth-like scales that prevent bacteria from sticking. Scientists have copied this design to create antibacterial surfaces for hospitals. The new design reduced infection rates by 50% in some operating rooms.
However, copying nature is challenging. Some natural abilities remain mysterious. For example, how do mussels stick to rocks underwater so strongly? If we could copy that, we might create waterproof glue for repairing ships. Scientists are making progress, but nature still has millions of years of experience.
So next time you see a common creature or plant, remember: it might hold the key to tomorrow's greatest invention.
14. What does the underlined word "biomimicry" in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. The study of animal behavior.
B. The study of copying nature's designs.
C. The study of making spider webs.
D. The study of training sharks.
15. What makes spider silk special?
A. It is very heavy. B. It is stronger than steel but lighter.
C. It breaks easily. D. It dissolves in water.
16. How did shark skin help improve hospital surfaces?
A. Its color inspired new paints.
B. Its scales prevent bacteria from sticking.
C. Its shape helped design better tools.
D. Its size reduced infection.
17. What is the writer's attitude toward nature?
A. Fearful. B. Uninterested. C. Respectful. D. Doubtful.
C
In a busy neighborhood in Hangzhou, there lived an elderly man named Uncle Zhao. He was known for his handmade bamboo baskets. But he never charged money for them. Instead, he gave them to anyone who needed to carry something heavy. His small workshop was filled with bamboo strips and simple tools.
One evening, a young museum curator from Shanghai visited the neighborhood. She saw one of Uncle Zhao's baskets outside a small vegetable shop. It showed a simple weave pattern like a mountain range. The curator was fascinated. She offered Uncle Zhao a large payment for a basket to display in her museum. Uncle Zhao smiled and shook his head.
"Why not?" asked the curator. "You could become famous."
Uncle Zhao pointed to his heart. "My baskets are not for sale. They are for helping people carry their burdens."
The curator(馆长,监护人) did not understand. She stayed in the neighborhood for a week. She watched Uncle Zhao give a basket to a farmer carrying vegetables to market, to a mother carrying her baby and groceries, to an old man collecting recyclables. Each time, the person would load the basket and walk more easily.
Before leaving, the curator asked Uncle Zhao for one basket. She did not offer money this time. She simply asked. Uncle Zhao gave her a small basket that showed a simple weave of overlapping mountains. "For your heavy load," he said. The curator cried, because for the first time in years, someone understood the weight of her responsibility.
Uncle Zhao's baskets never appeared in a museum. But they were used in hundreds of markets, on streets and doorsteps, reminding people that even on the heaviest days, a strong basket can help you carry what you must.
18. What did Uncle Zhao do with his baskets?
A. He sold them to tourists. B. He kept them in his workshop.
C. He gave them to people needing help carrying. D. He showed them in a museum.
19. Why did the curator stay in the neighborhood for a week?
A. To learn basket-weaving. B. To understand Uncle Zhao's reason.
C. To find more artifacts. D. To open a shop.
20. What did Uncle Zhao give the curator at the end?
A. A mountain range weave pattern. B. A vegetable shop design.
C. Overlapping mountains weave. D. A farmer holding a basket.
21. What lesson does the story teach?
A. Art is only valuable if it is in a museum.
B. Fame cannot replace practical kindness.
C. Young people do not understand tradition.
D. Old people are always generous.

The school choir concert ended. Everyone applauded except Fang Fang. She sat quietly, staring at the empty space where her music partner used to stand. Her partner had moved to another school three months ago. They had sung duets together since they were nine. Now Fang Fang felt like a song missing its second voice.
Fang Fang tried to practice alone, but every time she sang, she remembered their harmonies. Their music became memories. After rehearsal, Fang Fang sat in the music room alone, barely humming. Her music teacher noticed and asked, "What's on your mind?" Fang Fang just shook her head. She did not know how to explain the silence.
One afternoon, Fang Fang's music teacher returned their composition notebooks. Fang Fang had written a simple melody with two parts, one of them empty. Her teacher wrote at the bottom: "A duet can still be beautiful. Write the second part yourself."
That night, Fang Fang composed a new song. Not a duet, not a memory. A real piece of music. She wrote about the empty desk in their classroom, the tree where they used to practice, about how she missed their shared laughter. She folded the sheet music carefully and placed it in an envelope.
A month later, a recording arrived. Fang Fang's hands trembled as she played it. Her friend had recorded herself singing the second part to Fang Fang's new song, adding harmonies that fit perfectly. At the end of the recording, she said: "The distance is far, but our music still blends."
Fang Fang smiled. The empty space still made her sad, but she understood something new: distance could not silence a real friendship. It only changed how you made music together.
22. Why did Fang Fang feel sad at the beginning of the story?
A. Her teacher was disappointed in her. B. Her music partner moved away.
C. She lost her sheet music. D. She failed a concert.
23. What did the music teacher advise Fang Fang to do?
A. Make a new friend. B. Write the second part herself.
C. Ignore her feelings. D. Stop singing for a while.
24. How did Fang Fang feel when she received the recording?
A. Angry. B. Nervous and moved. C. Sad only. D. Surprised but calm.
25. What does "our music still blends" mean in the story?
A. Songs always sound good together.
B. Friendship can survive across distance.
C. Recording music takes too long.
D. Teachers know everything about music.

第六部分 阅读表达(共3小题;每题2分,54题2分,55题2分,56题3分,满分7分)
请认真阅读下面短文,用英语回答短文后的问题,并将答案写在答题卷标有题号的横线上。
In many classrooms, students are expected to learn the same material at the same speed. But for some learners, this approach is not ideal. They might grasp some concepts quickly but need extra time on others. These students are not less capable. They might simply learn at a different pace.
A growing number of schools are trying "self-paced learning". This means students can move through material at their own speed. Classrooms now include video lessons that can be paused and rewatched, extra practice for difficult topics, and optional challenge assignments for faster learners. Students have choices in how fast they progress.
Teachers who have tried self-paced learning report positive results. Students feel less pressure to keep up with others. They ask more questions when confused. They also show more confidence when they master a topic on their own time. One teacher said, "When students control their learning speed, they take responsibility for their education."
However, self-paced learning is not perfect. It requires more preparation from teachers to create different materials. Some students may fall behind without strict deadlines. It also needs reliable technology for video lessons. Not every school can provide this. But many teachers start small, with just one unit per semester taught at a flexible pace.
Experts say the most important thing is not the technology. It is recognizing that different students learn at different speeds. When children are allowed to learn at their own pace, they develop better study habits.
54. According to the passage, why do some students need to learn at a different pace?
_________________________________________________________________
55. What are two reported benefits of self-paced learning mentioned by teachers?
_________________________________________________________________
56. Do you think your school should try self-paced learning? Give at least two reasons based on the passage.

The Importance of Trying New Things
Last year, I tried learning to play the guitar. I had never played any instrument before, and I was afraid of looking silly. But my older sister told me that everyone starts as a beginner, so I decided to try.
At first, my fingers hurt and I could not play a single song. I wanted to quit many times. But I kept practicing for fifteen minutes every day. After three months, I could finally play a simple song for my family. They clapped for me, and I felt so proud.
Trying the guitar taught me that failure is part of learning. Now I am not afraid to try other new things, like calligraphy and swimming. I learned that courage is not about being perfect. It is about starting even when you are scared.
