B YINCHUAN--In the local Tanglai Hui Primary School, 12-year-old Duan Jiayang learns the skills required to take care of vegetable fields. “I learned how to place the mulch film（地膜),”says Jiayang, “It’s not easy.” In China, many parents place heavy importance on their children’s good results, while vocational（职业的) skills have little been cared. “Some parents do everything for their children，” says Yan Mei, an official of the primary school, adding that many students are short of the basic skills needed in their daily lives. Therefore, when it comes to the May Day holiday, students of various grades at Jiayang’s school worked together in the fields. They planted watermelon, carrots, corn, and other crops. “We will ask students to get involved in the whole process of the plants’ growth，” Yan says. “Life-skill education is not simply about working in the fields, but also experiencing and observing（观察) life. The school hopes that students will get to know how valuable food is so that they will better appreciate the hardship their parents went through, Yan adds. On the campus of the No.21 Primary School in Yinchuan, students were attending a special life-skills class: how to make steamed buns. “I really love my life skills course. Lian Yan says. “We can learn to make steamed buns and grow plants here.” Children usually just study at home and doing chores is an unhappy task, says a mother of a student in the school. “Vocational courses turn such ‘tasks’ into an interest, and then a hobby, and finally a life skill, she says. “It will be a good thing for their future.” （ C）61. What does Duan Jiayang think of that activity? A. Boring B. Easy C. Challenging D. Interesting （ B）62. What do many parents care most about in the passage? A. Children’s life skills. B.

Youths Get a Lesson in Life through Skills Course B. Basic Skills Bring Great Success to Youths’ Future. C. Vocational Courses Help Youths to Learn Better in School. D. Parents’ Hope for Children’s Good Results in School. C The elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep. ‘A few dogs started barking at it. The elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village, where they ran for safety. That didn’t stop the elephant. It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers were scared and angry. Then someone suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess. Parbati Barua’s father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer（驯师). He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up-how to catch wild elephants. Parbati hasn’t always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to a boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old life. “Life in the city is too dull. Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase, she says. But Parbati doesn’t catch elephants just for fun. “My work, “she says, is to rescue men from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from men. “And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years. Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry; for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before they can be killed. The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant. “Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them. They are also more loyal than humans, she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal. An elephant princess indeed! ( B)66. For Parbati, catching elephants is mainly to __________. A. get long lasting excitement B. keep both men and elephants safe C. send them back to the jungle D. make the angry elephants tame ( A)67. Before Parbati studied in a boarding school, __________. A. she spent her time hunting with her father B. she learned how to sing love songs C. She had already been called an elephant princess D.

The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in India ______.

Nature Sounds Right B “Humans can develop certain abilities we aren’t born with by practicing animals’ movements,” traditional Chinese Wushu lovers believed in the past — and still do today. The Chinese Five-Animal Exercises, also known as Wuqinxi, are the first complete set of qigong exercises following the movements of animals: monkeys, deer, birds, bears and tigers. They were created by one of the greatest doctors in Chinese history, HuaTuo, more than 1,800 years ago. The Five-Animal Exercises are well-designed to help blood circulation （血液循环), and let the energy go smoothly in the body so as to improve the health. “The bear movements are good for the stomach. The tiger movements can reduce the pain in the back. The deer movements help reduce the fat around the waist （腰). The bird movements can help keep our knees healthy and the monkey movements can be good for heart，” said Hua Yi, the 59th inheritor （继承者) of Wuqinxi. For those new learners, the first few exercises might not go well. You may find it hard to focus （集中注意力). Wear comfortable clothes, keep peaceful in your mind, try to move slowly ... Little by little, you’ll feel more and more harmonious with nature. You may even feel you become a tiger or deer, walking in the forest freely. These exercises need no tools and they are easy to learn. You can search online for the videos and practice them at any time when you feel like relaxing your body and mind. Because it’s fun to practice and good for your health, Five-Animal Exercises have been becoming more and more popular in recent years, not only in China, but also in many other places in the world.

Call on people to love Chinese traditional culture B Not long ago, two of my grandchildren came over for dinner. They walked in and made straight for the sofa to lie down. Aged 10 and 12, they pulled out their smartphones and started gaming. I feel sad to watch them, and so many other kids today, think of gaming as play. When I was a kid. I knew how to play. When I wanted a metal pedal car （踏板车) like some of my rich friends, my father made me one out of wood. At first, I was ashamed of the homemade toy. But I soon began to like it when my friends all wanted a ride. Dad also built a playhouse and tree houses. When I was older, he made me a high jump stand. Dad just loved building things or he really loved me. Or maybe a little of both. In my neighborhood. We didn’t have much to play with. For fun, we had to get creative. We put up tents in the backyard and camped out. At night, we looked for something interesting on the streets. We once went on a bike trip to a lake. My grandchildren have no idea how much fun these activities can be. After dinner, I decided to take them outside to show them something “different". The first answer was, “Why do we have to put our shoes on and go outside?” “Because l want to show you something, “ I said and picked up my frisbee （飞盘). “I think we could go outside and throw the frisbee around.” I got a slow and unwilling “Sure" for my efforts. Then, we walked out onto the street and began throwing the frisbee. Slowly, we got the hang of it. My grandson caught the frisbee over ten times: We played until it was dark. Anyway, it was a great success. My grandchildren began a new way of playing. 56. What did the grandchildren do to worry the writer so much? A. Making straight for TV. B. Lying down on the bed. C. Coming over for dinner. D. Playing games on the phone. 57. What did the writer get from his father at-an early age? ①Tree houses. ②Camping tents. ③A jump stand. ④A pedal car.

I understand them better C. I like what you like D. I remember my childhood C It is not an easy job to be a good parent. Here I’d like to share something with other parents. I have learned that little kids are dogs, while teenagers are cats. It’s easy to be a dog owner. You feed it and train it, and it will put its head on your knee gently. Whenever you call it, it will run to you with great warmth. Then around age 13, your lovely little puppy turns into a big old cat. When you ask it to come inside, it looks surprised, wondering why you give such an order. It may turn its nose up at the meal you’re offering. When you reach out to touch its head, it will stay away from you, as if trying to hide its own secrets. The kid now is not a dog any more. It thinks something in a totally different way. It seems so strange. Maybe it even doesn’t want to go out with its family members. You may think that you’ve done something wrong, because you are the one who raises （抚养) it and stays with it all the time. Filled with guilt （内疚) and fear, you make an effort （努力) to make your pet under your control （控制), but the result always turns out （结果是) to be disappointing. Instead of being like a dog owner, you should learn to act like a cat owner. Put a dish of food near the door, and let it come to you. But remember that a cat also needs your heal （治愈) and your love. You need to tell it there is a door which is always open for it. One day, your grown-up child will walk into the kitchen, give you a big kiss and say, “Let me get those dishes for you.” 61. From Paragraph 2, we can know that ____________. A. kids always like to stay with dogs B. it’s easy to teach and train a child if he is smart C. Little kids will show their kindness to us if we care for them D. Dogs don’t know who takes good care of them 62.

A. tries checking out what its owner likes best B. doesn’t like the meal anymore C. has a good habit of smelling before eating D. wants to check things first before it eats them 63. Which one is TRUE according to the passage? A. Parents always think of their own mistakes first when their kids change. B. Teenagers will never follow their parents’ advice C. Dogs and cats are always difficult to feed. D. Parents should try their best to control the kids. 64. According to the passage, the proper way to raise children is to ____________. A. leave them alone B. treat them differently according to their different ages C. raise them like feeding a cat D. make perfect plans for their future 65. This passage mainly talks about ____________. A. how to feed dogs and cats B. the best way to bring up （养大) children C. What is the most important thing for parents D. the changing relationship between children and parents C I once wrote a poem called Flying Kites, in which a man teaches his son to fly a kite. The child suddenly drops the string and lets the kite fly high up in the sky. With joy in his eyes, the child watches it climb until it disappears（消失)in the distance. Right then, the father realizes that someday he will have to loosen the string that ties him to his son, too. But he also wonders, “Will I release the string as unselfishly as that？” Years later, my son, Frank, announced that he wouldn't finish college. I tried to talk him out of it. But none of my reasoning made any difference. At the end of the term, Frank moved back home. Frank managed to find a job at a nursery, and enjoyed staying with lots of children every day. I, however, was deeply disappointed（失望). What was a college professor's son doing at a job that any high school dropout could do? ★ “Look!” I said, “In a few years, you will be at your high school reunion with former classmates who became lawyers, doctors and engineers. Do you think you will be able to handle（应付；处理) that？” “Yes, Dad!” he replied without hesitation（犹豫). Then he fixed his eyes on mine and said, “But the real question is: Can you？” Shame suddenly silenced me—I wasn't thinking about my son while I was thinking about myself and what my friends would think. The problem wasn't Frank's pride（自尊心）. It was mine. All at once, I remembered my poem and the question—“Will I release the string as unselfishly as that？” At that moment, I knew I had to let go. Frank was old enough to make his own choices. Today, Frank has a successful career. I am very proud of who he has become. Since I let go of my pride, I have been able to sit back and enjoy watching him fly high. ( )61. The word“release” can be replaced by . A. keep away B. lay out C.tie to D. set free ( )62.

The Real Problem B.Your Pride Works C. The String in Your Hand D. Let Him Go C People know animals do have feelings. but they are not sure if these feelings are correctly understood. In recent years, scientists have done research on the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ▲ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls. The researchers put a bowl behind a door, Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens loved to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes. There was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment （失望). The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves. Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens. The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising. A big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens' feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier. 61. Which of the following can be put in ▲ inParagrap1? A. Humans may not like animals. B.

The posters use the style of woodblock New Year paintings, which are a form of intangible cultural heritage （非物质文化遗产) in China. Called “nianhud" in Chinese, this style of art dates back to the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24). “We think woodblock New Year paintings are treasures—their colors and patterns are beautiful,” Lin said. “We want to show that young people are still interested in traditional culture.” “Protecting cultural heritage requires breathing new life into it. So I tried to add something that young people like,” Liu said. “People love little cute animals—so Lin and I keep three cats.” They used these cats as models. They designed a carpet （地毯) using the traditional “six children pattern" —six children making up a circle and sharing three heads—but the children were replaced with dogs and cats. Their design got hundreds of “likes" on the art website LOFTER. “Their creative design will help more young people become interested in traditional culture,” Paper News said. But Liu and Lin aren’t stopping there. They are now planning another project that will include things borrowed from pictures in Dunhuang. 56. What can we know about the Chinese door posters? A. They usually have cats. B. They are made from wood. C. They have a long history. D. They are world cultural heritage. 57. Their purpose of designing like this is to ____________. A. get “likes" from users on the art website B. let more people love little cute animals C. show their deep love for the three little cats D. make young people love traditional culture 58. What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 4? A. How they protected cultural heritage. B. How they had the idea of creating such a design. C. What they prepared before creating such a design. D. What they thought of intangible cultural heritage. 59. What does the underlined word “replaced with" in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. taken place of. B. covered with. C. got hurt by.

Create a New Painting Style C Have you ever shouted at your computer because it wasn’t working? Of course, your computer can’t “shout" back. But AI researchers have been working on computers that can argue and perhaps even win debates （辩论) with humans. IBM scientists recently published a paper in Nature about their new AI system—Project Debater. It can debate with people in front of a live audience. After listening to arguments from its opponent （对手), the system can search around 400 million online articles in less than five minutes. And then it looks for ideas that can support its own argument. Testing on the system began in 2019. When it debated Harish Natarajan, a professional debater who holds the world record for the most debate competition victories. The topic was about subsidizing preschool （资助幼儿园) —and Project Debater argued to support this idea. Although Project Debater lost the debate in the end, the audience said it performed very well. Interestingly, 58 percent of the audience said that Project Debater increased their knowledge about the topic—only20 percent said the same about Natarajan. According to Scientific American, results show that the system is able to form logical statements （有逻辑的陈述). However, ★ . Their goal is to help humans make better decisions, according to Ranit Aharanoy, manager of the Project Debater team. “It can debate both sides, so it can very quickly help you understand both sides of the problem, so you can have a wider view of the problem and make a more thoughtful decision，” Aharanoy said. Let’s wait and see how the Project Debater will develop in the near future. 61. According to Paragraph 2, which one below is not the way Project Debater works? A.

For example, “look on with folded （折叠的) arms” means “xiushoupangguan”， and “burn the boats" is similar 79 to “pofuchenzhou". I believe that sometimes you have the most fun .80 learning (learn) a foreign language. So I’ ll try to learn Chinese well. 6. 阅读下面的短文，在空白处填入一个适当的词或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。 Becky had never been to a movie before.

About halfway through the song, a blackbird’s sweet singing adds color to the melody （旋律). ②Nature, however, has never received any royalties （版税) for its important role in music.

Nature Is in Danger C. Nature Is a Great Musician D. Nature Sounds Right C It is not an easy job to be a good parent. Here I’d like to share something with other parents. I have learned that little kids are dogs, while teenagers are cats. It’s easy to be a dog owner. You feed it and train it, and it will put its head on your knee gently. Whenever you call it, it will run to you with great warmth. Then, around age 13, your lovely little puppy turns into a big old cat. When you ask it to come inside, it looks surprised, wondering why you give such an order. It may turn its nose up at the meal you’re offering. When you reach out to touch its head, it will stay away from you, as if trying to hide its own secrets. The kid now is not a dog any more. It thinks something in a totally different way. It seems so strange. Maybe it even doesn’t want to go out with its family members. You may think that you’ve done something wrong, because you are the one who raises （抚养) it and stays with it all the time. Filled with guilt （内疚) and fear, you make an effort （努力) to make your pet under your control （控制), but the result always turns out （结果是) to be disappointing. Instead of being like a dog owner, you should learn to act like a cat owner. Put a dish of food near the door, and let it come to you. But remember that a cat also needs your heal （治愈) and your love. You need to tell it there is a door which is always open for it. One day, your grown-up child will walk into the kitchen, give you a big kiss and say, “Let me get those dishes for you.” 36. From Paragraph 2, we can know that ________. A. kids always like to stay with dogs B. it’s easy to teach and train a child if he is smart C. Little kids will show their kindness to us if we care for them D. Dogs don’t know who takes good care of them 37. The sentence “It may turn its nose up at the meal you’re offering.” tells us that the cat ________. A. tries checking out what its owner likes best B. doesn’t like the meal anymore C. has a good habit of smelling before eating D. wants to check things first before it eats them 38. Which one is TRUE according to the passage? A. Parents always think of their own mistakes first when their kids change. B. Teenagers will never follow their parents’ advice C. Dogs and cats are always difficult to feed. D. Parents should try their best to control the kids. 39. According to the passage, the proper way to raise children is to ________. A. leave them alone B. treat them differently according to their different ages C. raise them like feeding a cat D. make perfect plans for their future 40. This passage mainly talks about ________. A. how to feed dogs and cats B. the best way to bring up （养大) children C.

B YINCHUAN--In the local Tanglai Hui Primary School, 12-year-old Duan Jiayang learns the skills required to take care of vegetable fields. “I learned how to place the mulch film（地膜),”says Jiayang, “It’s not easy.” In China, many parents place heavy importance on their children’s good results, while vocational（职业的) skills have little been cared. “Some parents do everything for their children，” says Yan Mei, an official of the primary school, adding that many students are short of the basic skills needed in their daily lives. Therefore, when it comes to the May Day holiday, students of various grades at Jiayang’s school worked together in the fields. They planted watermelon, carrots, corn, and other crops. “We will ask students to get involved in the whole process of the plants’ growth，” Yan says. “Life-skill education is not simply about working in the fields, but also experiencing and observing（观察) life. The school hopes that students will get to know how valuable food is so that they will better appreciate the hardship their parents went through, Yan adds. On the campus of the No.21 Primary School in Yinchuan, students were attending a special life-skills class: how to make steamed buns. “I really love my life skills course. Lian Yan says. “We can learn to make steamed buns and grow plants here.” Children usually just study at home and doing chores is an unhappy task, says a mother of a student in the school. “Vocational courses turn such ‘tasks’ into an interest, and then a hobby, and finally a life skill, she says. “It will be a good thing for their future.” （ C）61.

The elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village, where they ran for safety. That didn’t stop the elephant. It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers were scared and angry. Then someone suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess. Parbati Barua’s father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer（驯师). He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up-how to catch wild elephants. Parbati hasn’t always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to a boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old life. “Life in the city is too dull. Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase, she says. But Parbati doesn’t catch elephants just for fun. “My work, “she says, is to rescue men from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from men. “And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years. Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry; for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before they can be killed. The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant. “Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them. They are also more loyal than humans, she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal. An elephant princess indeed! ( B)66. For Parbati, catching elephants is mainly to __________. A. get long lasting excitement B. keep both men and elephants safe C. send them back to the jungle D. make the angry elephants tame ( A)67.

A.they are caught and sent for heavy work B. illegal hunters capture them and-kill them. C. They are attacked and their land is limited D. Dogs often bark at them and chase them ( B)69. The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in India ______. A. people easily fall victim to elephants’ attacks B. the man-elephant relationship is getting worse C. elephant tamers are in short supply D. dogs are as powerful as elephants. ( A)70. What is the best title for the passage? A. Parbati Barua, the Elephant Princess B. Stop Illegal Hunting C. Back to the Jungle D.

Kirt Onthank, an octopus biologist, told Live Science that the octopus’ largest heart is located in the middle of the animal’s body. It pushes oxygenated （充满氧气的) blood around the body. “It is the largest and strongest one.” The other two hearts are called the gill hearts （鳃心). These hearts are relatively small and not so strong. After nearly being ended by forest fires two years ago, 80 tree frogs have appeared again in the wild. Experts thought just 10 of the frogs lived after the fires, but thanks to a wildlife programme, their numbers are going up.

Nature Sounds Right B “Humans can develop certain abilities we aren’t born with by practicing animals’ movements,” traditional Chinese Wushu lovers believed in the past — and still do today. The Chinese Five-Animal Exercises, also known as Wuqinxi, are the first complete set of qigong exercises following the movements of animals: monkeys, deer, birds, bears and tigers. They were created by one of the greatest doctors in Chinese history, HuaTuo, more than 1,800 years ago. The Five-Animal Exercises are well-designed to help blood circulation （血液循环), and let the energy go smoothly in the body so as to improve the health. “The bear movements are good for the stomach. The tiger movements can reduce the pain in the back. The deer movements help reduce the fat around the waist （腰). The bird movements can help keep our knees healthy and the monkey movements can be good for heart，” said Hua Yi, the 59th inheritor （继承者) of Wuqinxi. For those new learners, the first few exercises might not go well. You may find it hard to focus （集中注意力). Wear comfortable clothes, keep peaceful in your mind, try to move slowly ... Little by little, you’ll feel more and more harmonious with nature. You may even feel you become a tiger or deer, walking in the forest freely. These exercises need no tools and they are easy to learn. You can search online for the videos and practice them at any time when you feel like relaxing your body and mind. Because it’s fun to practice and good for your health, Five-Animal Exercises have been becoming more and more popular in recent years, not only in China, but also in many other places in the world.

Call on people to love Chinese traditional culture B Not long ago, two of my grandchildren came over for dinner. They walked in and made straight for the sofa to lie down. Aged 10 and 12, they pulled out their smartphones and started gaming. I feel sad to watch them, and so many other kids today, think of gaming as play. When I was a kid. I knew how to play. When I wanted a metal pedal car （踏板车) like some of my rich friends, my father made me one out of wood. At first, I was ashamed of the homemade toy. But I soon began to like it when my friends all wanted a ride. Dad also built a playhouse and tree houses. When I was older, he made me a high jump stand. Dad just loved building things or he really loved me. Or maybe a little of both. In my neighborhood. We didn’t have much to play with. For fun, we had to get creative. We put up tents in the backyard and camped out. At night, we looked for something interesting on the streets. We once went on a bike trip to a lake. My grandchildren have no idea how much fun these activities can be. After dinner, I decided to take them outside to show them something “different". The first answer was, “Why do we have to put our shoes on and go outside?” “Because l want to show you something, “ I said and picked up my frisbee （飞盘). “I think we could go outside and throw the frisbee around.” I got a slow and unwilling “Sure" for my efforts. Then, we walked out onto the street and began throwing the frisbee. Slowly, we got the hang of it. My grandson caught the frisbee over ten times: We played until it was dark. Anyway, it was a great success. My grandchildren began a new way of playing. 56. What did the grandchildren do to worry the writer so much? A. Making straight for TV. B. Lying down on the bed. C. Coming over for dinner. D. Playing games on the phone. 57. What did the writer get from his father at-an early age? ①Tree houses. ②Camping tents. ③A jump stand. ④A pedal car.

I understand them better C. I like what you like D. I remember my childhood C It is not an easy job to be a good parent. Here I’d like to share something with other parents. I have learned that little kids are dogs, while teenagers are cats. It’s easy to be a dog owner. You feed it and train it, and it will put its head on your knee gently. Whenever you call it, it will run to you with great warmth. Then around age 13, your lovely little puppy turns into a big old cat. When you ask it to come inside, it looks surprised, wondering why you give such an order. It may turn its nose up at the meal you’re offering. When you reach out to touch its head, it will stay away from you, as if trying to hide its own secrets. The kid now is not a dog any more. It thinks something in a totally different way. It seems so strange. Maybe it even doesn’t want to go out with its family members. You may think that you’ve done something wrong, because you are the one who raises （抚养) it and stays with it all the time. Filled with guilt （内疚) and fear, you make an effort （努力) to make your pet under your control （控制), but the result always turns out （结果是) to be disappointing. Instead of being like a dog owner, you should learn to act like a cat owner. Put a dish of food near the door, and let it come to you. But remember that a cat also needs your heal （治愈) and your love. You need to tell it there is a door which is always open for it. One day, your grown-up child will walk into the kitchen, give you a big kiss and say, “Let me get those dishes for you.” 61. From Paragraph 2, we can know that ____________. A. kids always like to stay with dogs B. it’s easy to teach and train a child if he is smart C. Little kids will show their kindness to us if we care for them D. Dogs don’t know who takes good care of them 62.

A. tries checking out what its owner likes best B. doesn’t like the meal anymore C. has a good habit of smelling before eating D. wants to check things first before it eats them 63. Which one is TRUE according to the passage? A. Parents always think of their own mistakes first when their kids change. B. Teenagers will never follow their parents’ advice C. Dogs and cats are always difficult to feed. D. Parents should try their best to control the kids. 64. According to the passage, the proper way to raise children is to ____________.

This passage mainly talks about ____________. A. how to feed dogs and cats B. the best way to bring up （养大) children C. What is the most important thing for parents D. the changing relationship between children and parents C I once wrote a poem called Flying Kites, in which a man teaches his son to fly a kite. The child suddenly drops the string and lets the kite fly high up in the sky. With joy in his eyes, the child watches it climb until it disappears（消失)in the distance. Right then, the father realizes that someday he will have to loosen the string that ties him to his son, too. But he also wonders, “Will I release the string as unselfishly as that？” Years later, my son, Frank, announced that he wouldn't finish college. I tried to talk him out of it. But none of my reasoning made any difference. At the end of the term, Frank moved back home. Frank managed to find a job at a nursery, and enjoyed staying with lots of children every day. I, however, was deeply disappointed（失望). What was a college professor's son doing at a job that any high school dropout could do? ★ “Look!” I said, “In a few years, you will be at your high school reunion with former classmates who became lawyers, doctors and engineers. Do you think you will be able to handle（应付；处理) that？” “Yes, Dad!” he replied without hesitation（犹豫). Then he fixed his eyes on mine and said, “But the real question is: Can you？” Shame suddenly silenced me—I wasn't thinking about my son while I was thinking about myself and what my friends would think. The problem wasn't Frank's pride（自尊心）. It was mine. All at once, I remembered my poem and the question—“Will I release the string as unselfishly as that？” At that moment, I knew I had to let go. Frank was old enough to make his own choices. Today, Frank has a successful career. I am very proud of who he has become. Since I let go of my pride, I have been able to sit back and enjoy watching him fly high. ( )61. The word“release” can be replaced by . A. keep away B. lay out C.tie to D. set free ( )62.

The Real Problem B.Your Pride Works C. The String in Your Hand D. Let Him Go C People know animals do have feelings. but they are not sure if these feelings are correctly understood. In recent years, scientists have done research on the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ▲ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls. The researchers put a bowl behind a door, Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens loved to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes. There was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment （失望). The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves. Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens. The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising. A big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens' feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier. 61. Which of the following can be put in ▲ inParagrap1? A. Humans may not like animals. B. Scientists know nothing about it. C. Nobody knows why this happens. D. A new study adds chickens to the list. 62. Which is most probably the sound wave of a happy call by a chicken? 63.

The record before was held by a Polish man who soared （高飞) to heights of 332m at the age of 91 in 2017. Mr. Bots did a test once and he missed (the 300 high level) by 10m because of the bad conditions. He is paying close attention to the weather report waiting for the perfect chance to beat the world record. A Teenager Flies Around the World 17-year-old Mack Rutherford has now set the record for the youngest person to fly around the world alone and broken his sister’s record. He flew in a small, two-seater airplane. One of the plane’s seats was taken the place by an extra gas tank （汽油箱). This allowed Mack to fly farther. He visited 30 countries in all and he once had to land on an island with no one else on it. Talented Music Boy 10-year-old Seba Stephens became the youngest person ever to receive a professional certificate （证书) in music from the famous Berklee College of Music.

But look closer—they are two cats instead of the generals Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong. These posters were designed （设计) by Liu Shuning and Lin Chen from Hangzhou, Zhejiang. They wanted to mix modern art and youth culture with traditional culture. The posters use the style of woodblock New Year paintings, which are a form of intangible cultural heritage （非物质文化遗产) in China. Called “nianhud" in Chinese, this style of art dates back to the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24). “We think woodblock New Year paintings are treasures—their colors and patterns are beautiful,” Lin said. “We want to show that young people are still interested in traditional culture.” “Protecting cultural heritage requires breathing new life into it. So I tried to add something that young people like,” Liu said. “People love little cute animals—so Lin and I keep three cats.” They used these cats as models. They designed a carpet （地毯) using the traditional “six children pattern" —six children making up a circle and sharing three heads—but the children were replaced with dogs and cats. Their design got hundreds of “likes" on the art website LOFTER. “Their creative design will help more young people become interested in traditional culture,” Paper News said.

Nature Is in Danger C. Nature Is a Great Musician D. Nature Sounds Right C It is not an easy job to be a good parent. Here I’d like to share something with other parents. I have learned that little kids are dogs, while teenagers are cats. It’s easy to be a dog owner. You feed it and train it, and it will put its head on your knee gently. Whenever you call it, it will run to you with great warmth. Then around age 13, your lovely little puppy turns into a big old cat. When you ask it to come inside, it looks surprised, wondering why you give such an order. It may turn its nose up at the meal you’re offering. When you reach out to touch its head, it will stay away from you, as if trying to hide its own secrets. The kid now is not a dog any more. It thinks something in a totally different way. It seems so strange. Maybe it even doesn’t want to go out with its family members. You may think that you’ve done something wrong, because you are the one who raises （抚养) it and stays with it all the time. Filled with guilt （内疚) and fear, you make an effort （努力) to make your pet under your control （控制), but the result always turns out （结果是) to be disappointing. Instead of being like a dog owner, you should learn to act like a cat owner. Put a dish of food near the door, and let it come to you. But remember that a cat also needs your heal （治愈) and your love. You need to tell it there is a door which is always open for it. One day, your grown-up child will walk into the kitchen, give you a big kiss and say, “Let me get those dishes for you.” 36. From Paragraph 2, we can know that ________. A. kids always like to stay with dogs B. it’s easy to teach and train a child if he is smart C. Little kids will show their kindness to us if we care for them D. Dogs don’t know who takes good care of them 37. The sentence “It may turn its nose up at the meal you’re offering.” tells us that the cat ________. A. tries checking out what its owner likes best B. doesn’t like the meal anymore C. has a good habit of smelling before eating D. wants to check things first before it eats them 38. Which one is TRUE according to the passage? A. Parents always think of their own mistakes first when their kids change. B. Teenagers will never follow their parents’ advice C. Dogs and cats are always difficult to feed. D. Parents should try their best to control the kids. 39. According to the passage, the proper way to raise children is to ________. A. leave them alone B. treat them differently according to their different ages C. raise them like feeding a cat D. make perfect plans for their future 40. This passage mainly talks about ________. A. how to feed dogs and cats B. the best way to bring up （养大) children C.
