Some gestures may even get you in trouble in foreign countries if you don’t know them well. So maybe it is best to keep your hands in your pockets when travelling. There are many kinds of hand gestures; here are some we usually use. People in most countries such as Canada and the USA use a thumbs-up to agree about something. But it may be unfriendly in some countries and shouldn’t be used at all. In Iran, Iraq and Thailand, it is an unfriendly gesture. What does making a circle with your thumb and index finger (食指) mean? In many countries, it means OK. That is not the only meaning, however. For example, it usually means “zero” rather than OK in Australia. And in Japan, it usually means money, but for young people it means OK. Don’t try to call someone to you by using this gesture of your index finger. It may mean “come here” in the USA．But it is an unfriendly hand gesture in most parts of the world. There are places where this could even get you in trouble! You have to worry about the “V” for winning sign. If you use it, you should keep your palm (手掌) facing away from you.

Instead, they came up with interesting games to play in their childhood. Let’s take a look. Playing hide-and-seekHide-and-seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. There are two ways to play: covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to play a trick on him or more commonly, others hide and one child must try to find them. Setting off firecrackers (鞭炮)Firecrackers have a history of more than 2, 000 years. It is said that there was a beast (野兽) named Nian in ancient China, and people burnt bamboo joints (竹节) to make them blast (爆炸) to drive away the beast. After gunpowder which is one of the four ancient Chinese inventions was invented, it gradually replaced the bamboo joints. Nowadays, firecrackers are still set off during Spring Festival. Watching shadow playsThe most similar thing to watching a film during ancient times was going to see a shadow play. The artists controlled puppets (木偶) behind the screen to make the puppets move like people and tell stories. People liked listening to the music and enjoyed the beautiful puppets. Kicking stone ballsDuring the Qing Dynasty (1644—1911), kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China, and it was often played in the winter to keep warm. Stones were cut into small balls and kicked along with feet. 20．How can hide-and-seek be played in the more common way? A．One hides and others find. B．One covers eyes and others run. C．Others hide and one finds them. D．One runs and others catch. 21．According to the passage, kicking stone balls was often played ______.

C．Kicking stone balls was popular before Qing. D．All kids must cover eyes in hide-and-seek. 23．What can we infer from the passage? A．Shadow plays were just like modern films. B．Gunpowder replaced bamboo joints in firecrackers. C．All ancient games were from the Tang Dynasty. D．Kicking stone balls was popular all over China. 24．What can we learn about ancient children’s games? A．They were part of traditional culture. B．All of them needed modern tools. C．They were less fun than phone games. D．All of them were only for spring. （6） Is there intelligent life on other planets? For years, scientists said “no” or “we don’t know”. But today, scientists are changing their minds. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronauts. They believe intelligent life exists somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon make contact (联系) with them. Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets? The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. “This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life,” say Shostak and Barnett. The second reason is size—the universe is huge. Tools like the Hubble Telescope have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies, ”says Shostak. “And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar to the Earth.” In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes allow scientists to discover smaller planets—like Mars or Earth—in other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life. Have beings from space already visited the Earth? “Probably not,” says Shostak. It’s a long way away. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other ways, such as through radio signals (信号). In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don’t have the right tools to receive their messages. But this is changing. We could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other in the near future. 25．How does the writer start the passage? A．By asking a question. B．By showing a picture. C．By giving some numbers. D．By showing research findings. 26．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A．The age and size of the Earth. B．Our galaxy-the Milky Way. C．Why there may be intelligent life on other planets.D．The Earth-the only planet with intelligent life. 27．Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past? A．Because there were not any smaller planets. B．Because we didn’t have powerful telescopes then. C．Because the astronomers were not interested in the search. D．Because the scientists didn’t think it was possible. 28．What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to? A．Messages. B．Radio signals. C．Other planets. D．Intelligent beings. 29．What is the best title for this passage? A．The Age of the Universe B．The Size of the Universe C．Intelligent Life on Other Planets D．The Number of Stars in the Universe （7） Technology has the power to do many things, including changing the world we live in and the way we live. We are lucky to live in a time when science and technology can help us make our lives easier and rethink the ways to improve our daily lives. Robots in space and in the workplace Some countries are sending robots of different shapes and sizes into space. As technology progresses, this makes sense. Robots don’t need to worry about oxygen to breathe or food to eat and they can be packed full of sensors (传感器) to send data back to the Earth. Robots can take on the more difficult, dangerous and boring jobs. They can also operate more quickly, efficiently and with fewer mistakes too. Smart mirrors that check your health A quick look in the mirror each morning gives you an idea on how you’re feeling and looking to the outside world. In the future the smart mirrors could check you and tell you about health problems. And they can show the information to you on the mirror at once. It might help you prepare. Roads over rivers Space is running out quickly, especially in crowded city spaces. This way shows a future. Roads and living spaces will move out over the waters. When self-driving cars do all the work and are fast enough, journeys across the oceans this way might come to our life. Lab-grown meat Lab-grown meat is a real thing that’s already being worked on. If scientists can grow meat in the lab, it will change the way we live and eat forever. This change can not only ________ the damage meat farming does to the world, but also offer meat that many people could enjoy. 30．What do we know from the sentence “Robots don’t need to worry about oxygen to breathe or food to eat and they can be packed full of sensors to send data back to the Earth.”? A．Robots can be sent to any place in space. B．Robots can deal with all the problems in space. C．Robots have more advantages than humans in space. D．Robots have different shapes, sizes and colors. 31．What role will the smart mirror play? A． B． C． D． 32．Where will the self-driving cars run in the future? A．On the roads over the waters. B．On the roads under the waters. C．On the surface of the ocean. D．On the roads across mountains. 33．Which phrase can we use to fill in the “________” of the last paragraph? A．write down B．fall down C．put down D．cut down 34．What’s the main idea of the whole passage? A．New places to live in the future. B．Technology that will change our life. C．New technology to keep us healthy. D．Ways to help us live comfortably. （8） Art has always been a window into the human soul. It reflects our feelings, stories and dreams. But today, technology is starting to shape that window in ways we never imagined. Since the 1960s, artists have been using computers and screens to explore new forms of creativity. And now, with artificial intelligence (AI), machines are not only tools—they are becoming partners. AI art is born when a human artist trains a computer to recognize a style, mood or concept. The machine studies thousands of images, follows rules and produces something “new”. But is it really creative—or just copying and remixing what it’s been shown? AI is helpful in many ways. It can save time by doing repetitive tasks like colouring or pattern-making. It can restore (修复) damaged works, experiment with different looks, and even copy famous styles from the past. These abilities allow artists to explore more ideas, faster. Still, there’s something machines don’t have—emotion. AI can recognize patterns, but it doesn’t feel love, sadness or joy. Only humans know what it means to create from memory, experience or deep emotion. Only people give art its personal meaning. Therefore, we must ask: Can a machine truly understand beauty the way we do? If an AI paints a perfect sunset, but has never felt warmth or wonder, does it mean anything at all? In the future, art may be shaped by codes and algorithms (算法), but perhaps the true heart of art will always remain human—made not just by data, but by imagination, feeling and dreams. 35．Why might AI art seem “creative” even though it’s not truly new? A．AI can copy and combine many artworks. B．AI has its own ideas and feelings. C．AI gives personal meanings to art. D．AI always makes creative mistakes. 36．How does the writer feel about human emotion in the creative process? A．It is no use because machines can copy emotion. B．It is what makes art truly meaningful and special. C．It is not as important as other technical skills. D．It is something AI will learn to copy perfectly soon. 37．Why does the writer ask “does it mean anything at all” about AI art in paragraph 5? A．To show that AI art is more beautiful. B．To explain how AI learns from data online. C．To describe how AI paints sunsets. D．To question if AI understands real beauty. 38．What can we infer about the writer’s attitude towards AI in art? A．The writer thinks AI art should not be used forever. B．The writer believes AI will replace human artists. C．The writer is curious but careful about AI’s role in art. D．The writer thinks AI can see things that humans can’t. 39．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Machines can now totally understand how humans feel. B．AI will make all human artists lose their jobs in the near future. C．Technology has changed art, but true creativity remains human. D．Art made by AI is way much better than art made by humans. （9） Long ago, in ancient China, there was a story about the invention of silk. People believed that silk was first invented by Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor. Leizu learned how to make cocoons (蚕茧) into soft and strong cloth. This magical cloth became known as “silk”, and it was so valuable that it was called “China’s gold”. Following the emperor’s orders, the Chinese kept the secret of making silk for centuries. But then, something amazing happened! During the Han Dynasty, the brave officer Zhang Qian traveled west as far as Central Asia and brought silk there. As years passed by, silk became so important that the trade road from Europe to China got its name—the Silk Road. The Silk Road became a busy highway for traders who carried things across deserts and mountains. From China, people sold silk and tea. In return, they received treasures such as spices (香料), gold and silver from the West. At the very beginning, it was mainly about trade; then people began to share ideas, technologies and cultures. For example, Chinese inventions like the papermaking technique were spread to the West, while new ideas about math and science came to China. Most importantly, the Silk Road helped different cultures learn from each other. Art, music and even language were shared along this ancient road. In places like Mogao Caves in China, you can see how art pieces combined Eastern and Western styles into something distinctive. They cannot be seen anywhere else. The story of the Silk Road tells us how people from faraway lands could become friends by trading and sharing ideas. Today, we remember the Silk Road as one of the greatest examples of cooperation and exchange in history. It shows us how important it is to learn about and respect each other’s traditions, and that different cultures can work together to create amazing things. 40．Who invented silk in ancient China?

At the beginning of 2025, it suddenly took the AI world by surprise. Chinese AI company DeepSeek released (发布) its latest AI model, DeepSeek-R1 on January 20. The model can do the same text-based tasks as other models, but at a lower cost. Unlike other AI models, DeepSeek-R1 is free to use and open-source, allowing developers to study and build upon. A DeepSeek engineer said, “We want AI to be a friend, not something only rich people can use.” On its first day online, over 19,000 programmers worldwide started projects to study it and most thought highly of it. Even a top scientist from a famous U.S. tech company said, “This kind of free AI could change the world.” The rise of DeepSeek has also made its founder, Liang Wenfeng, well-known. Born in 1985 in a small town in Guangdong Province, Liang was greatly influenced by his parents who were both primary school teachers. Liang showed an amazing talent for Maths and love for technology from a young age. In university, he developed a strong interest in machine learning. This helped him get his later achievements. In 2023, Liang founded DeepSeek in Hangzhou. He has put together a talented team where each member has his own specialized (专业的) knowledge. So far, they’ve developed several AI models. DeepSeek is reshaping the AI industry. China isn’t just catching up with the West in technology—it’s setting new rules for the game. 45．How does the writer start the topic? A．By asking questions.

They are extinct, which means there is no longer a certain kind of plant or animal living anywhere in the world. A species is a certain group of living organisms, like dinosaurs, humans, birds, and many others. Scientists believe many organisms, along with the dinosaurs, died out when a large asteroid collided with the Earth. The collision caused a mass extinction, which occurs at a faster rate over a very short time period. There are usually two reasons for the extinction of animals and other living things. The first is natural, which may take place when animals do not adapt to natural changes in their environment. For example, if the habitat of a bird suddenly changes, and if the bird does not adapt, it could become extinct. Examples of naturally occurring extinction may take place during a change in the climate. This took place during the Ice Age when the temperature of the Earth was much lower. During a natural extinction, the species may be eliminated by new predators that move into their environment. The food needed to survive may no longer be available. Another example of this type of extinction was the woolly mammoth, a relative of the elephant, which died out 10,000 years ago due to climate change and the disappearance of its habitat. The second reason for the extinction of animals is human interaction, which includes hunting and habitat destruction caused by people. An animal’s environment may be destroyed by pollution or construction, such as the destruction of parts of a rainforest. Humans also overhunt sometimes wiping out an entire species. In addition, the moving of non-native species into an area where they are not usually found may lead to the extinction of another species. Examples include the Dodo bird that became extinct due to overhunting and other animals moving into its environment. The passenger pigeon died out due to the destruction of its habitat, as well as overhunting. There are many animals that have become extinct, but when animals are in danger of becoming extinct, yet still survive, they are called endangered animals. 50．All the following are extinct species EXCEPT: A．Dinosaurs B．Orangutans C．Passenger pigeons D．Dodo birds 51．Which of the following is a reason why animals may become extinct or endangered? A．Climate change B．Habitat destruction C．Overhunting D．All of the above 52．New predators moving into the environment may first lead to which of the following? A．Extinction of another species B．An increase in new food sources C．Endangered species D．Loss of land resources 53．Which of the following DOES NOT define a mass extinction well? A．An extinction that occurs at a faster rate compared to a typical extinction B．An extinction of more than one animal or plant species C．An extinction of many organisms on Earth D．An extinction in a long time-period 54．Hunting and habitat destruction are reasons for which of the following types of extinction? A．Natural B．Human interaction C．Mass D．None of the above （12） Giant Pandas: China’s National Treasure Giant pandas are China’s national treasure. They live in the mountains of southwestern China, mainly in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces. Pandas have black and white fur, round faces and black patches around their eyes. They look cute and friendly. Pandas mainly feed on bamboo. They can eat up to 18 kilograms of bamboo a day. In the past, pandas were in great danger. People cut down forests, so pandas lost their homes. Some people even hunted them for their fur. The number of wild pandas dropped to less than 1,000. Now, the Chinese government has taken strong action to protect pandas. Many nature reserves have been built. Hunting pandas is against the law and will be punished. Thanks to these efforts, the number of wild pandas has increased to about 1,864. Pandas are no longer in immediate danger, but they still need our protection. 55．Where do giant pandas mainly live? A．In northern China B．In southwestern China C．In southern China D．In eastern China 56．What do pandas mainly eat? A．Grass B．Bamboo C．Fruit D．Meat 57．Why were pandas in danger in the past?

A．Less than 1,000 B．About 1,500 C．About 1,864 D．Over 2,000 59．What has the government done to protect pandas? A．Cut down forests B．Built nature reserves C．Hunted pandas D．Sold pandas （13） A Volunteer’s Story: Protecting Red-crowned Cranes My name is Li Ming. I am a volunteer at a red-crowned crane reserve in northern China. I have been working here for three years. My job is to protect the cranes and their living environment. Red-crowned cranes are very beautiful. They have white feathers, black necks and red crowns. They mate for life and dance to show their love. But they are in danger. Wetlands are being destroyed, and some people hunt them for their feathers. When I first came here, there were only 20 cranes in the reserve. Now, things are getting better. We have built fences to protect the wetlands. We also patrol the reserve every day to stop hunters. We provide food for the cranes in winter when food is scarce. Last year, 5 baby cranes were born here. Now the number of cranes has increased to 35. I feel very proud of my work. Protecting cranes is not easy, but it is meaningful. Every living thing has the right to live. I hope more people will join us to protect these beautiful birds. 60．How long has Li Ming been a volunteer? A．For one year. B．For two years.

It was created by Huang Gongwang, one of the Four Masters of the Yuan Dynasty. Huang started to paint it when he was 79 years old and finished it at the age of 81. The painting is 6.36 meters long and 33 centimeters wide. It shows the beautiful scenery of the Fuchun Mountains in Zhejiang Province. The mountains, rivers, trees and clouds in the painting are drawn with simple ink lines, but they look very real. The painting is full of peace and harmony, making people feel at one with nature. Unfortunately, the original painting was broken into two parts in the 17th century. One part is called The Remaining Mountain and is kept in the Zhejiang Provincial Museum. The other part is called the Master Wuyong Scroll and is kept in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. For hundreds of years, people hoped that the two parts could be shown together. In 2011, their dream came true. The two parts were put on display in Taipei. Thousands of visitors came to see the painting. It was a great event in the art world. Today, Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains is not only a masterpiece of Chinese painting, but also a symbol of Chinese cultural heritage. It shows the beauty of Chinese landscape painting and the wisdom of ancient artists.

But now, powerful telescopes allow scientists to discover smaller planets—like Mars or Earth—in other solar systems.”过去很难在宇宙中寻找智慧生命迹象是因为那时没有强大的望远镜，现在有了强大的望远镜才可以发现其他太阳系中像火星或地球这样较小的行星。 28．最后一段“However, intelligent beings may contact us in other ways, such as through radio signals (信号). In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now…”这里的“they”指代的是前面提到的“intelligent beings”。 29．文章开篇提出其他星球上是否有智慧生命这一问题，接着阐述了科学家认为其他星球可能存在智慧生命的原因以及与他们取得联系的可能性等内容，所以文章主要围绕其他星球上的智慧生命展开，C选项“Intelligent Life on Other Planets”作为标题最合适。 （7） 30．C 31．B 32．A 33．D 34．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了未来科技对我们的生活的影响。 【详解】30．第二段第三句直接给出机器人优势：“Robots don’t need to worry about oxygen to breathe or food to eat and they can be packed full of sensors to send data back to the Earth”，说明机器人在太空环境中，相比人类，无需氧气、食物，还能高效传输数据，拥有显著的工作和生存优势。 31．第三段明确介绍智能镜子的作用：“In the future the smart mirrors could check you and tell you about health problems. And they can show the information to you on the mirror at once”，这说明智能镜子的核心功能是监测健康、提示健康问题，和医生的角色功能直接对应。 32．第四段最后一句提到行驶地点：“When self-driving cars do all the work and are fast enough, journeys across the oceans this way might come to our life”，说明未来自动驾驶汽车会行驶在水上道路上。 33．设空处原句为“This change can not only ________ the damage meat farming does to the world, but also offer meat that many people could enjoy”，可知此处是在说明实验室培育肉的好处。句中提到了“the damage meat farming does to the world”，结合常识可知，实验室培育肉的环保价值在于减少传统肉类养殖对地球造成的危害，因此cut down“减少”最符合语境。write down“写下”、fall down“摔倒”、put down“放下”均不符合文意。 34．开篇第一句即点明主旨：“Technology has the power to do many things, including changing the world we live in and the way we live”，本文主要介绍的是未来能改变我们生活的科技。 （8） 35．A 36．B 37．D 38．C 39．C 【导语】本文主要探讨了人工智能对艺术领域的影响，分析了AI在艺术创作中的优势与局限，强调了人类情感与创造力才是艺术的核心。 【详解】35．文章第2段“The machine studies thousands of images, follows rules and produces something ‘new’. But is it really creative—or just copying and remixing what it’s been shown?”表明AI艺术看似有创造力，实则是通过复制和组合大量已有作品实现的。 36．文章第4段“Only humans know what it means to create from memory, experience or deep emotion. Only people give art its personal meaning.”表明作者认为人类情感是艺术真正有意义和特别的原因。 37．文章第5段“Can a machine truly understand beauty the way we do? If an AI paints a perfect sunset, but has never felt warmth or wonder, does it mean anything at all?”表明作者提出这个问题，是为了质疑AI是否能真正理解美，而不仅仅是模仿表象。 38．根据文章内容，作者既肯定了AI在艺术创作中的辅助作用，也指出了其缺乏情感、无法理解美的局限，因此可以推知作者对AI在艺术中的角色是好奇且谨慎的。 39．文章前半部分讲AI如何改变艺术，后半部分强调人类情感与创造力的不可替代性。C选项“科技改变了艺术，但真正的创造力仍属于人类”概括了全文的两个核心方面。 （9） 40．A 41．B 42．C 43．C 44．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了中国古代丝绸的发明及其传播历史。从嫘祖发明丝绸，到张骞出使西域将丝绸带往中亚，再到丝绸之路成为东西方贸易和文化交流的重要通道，文章最后点明丝绸之路体现了不同文化之间合作与交流的重要性。 【详解】40．第一段明确指出：“People believed that silk was first invented by Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor.”说明丝绸最早由嫘祖发明。 41．第三段提到：“From China, people sold silk and tea... Chinese inventions like the papermaking technique were spread to the West”，说明从中国传到西方的有丝绸、茶叶和造纸术。选项B中的“Tea and the papermaking technique”完全吻合原文。 42．根据文章内容：④“皇帝下令保守丝绸秘密”出现在第一段最早；①“张骞带丝绸西行”出现在第二段；③“东西方商人交换物品”出现在第三段开头；②“艺术和语言沿丝绸之路被分享”出现在第四段。正确顺序为④→①→③→②。 43．第四段提到莫高窟时说：“you can see how art pieces combined Eastern and Western styles into something distinctive”，目的是证明不同文化混合并创造了新的风格。 44．最后一段总结道：“The story of the Silk Road tells us how people from faraway lands could become friends by trading and sharing ideas... It shows us how important it is to learn about and respect each other's traditions”，全文主旨是强调文化交流与相互尊重的重要性。 （10） 45．A 46．C 47．C 48．D 49．B 【导语】本文介绍了来自中国的人工智能深度求索(DeepSeek)以及创始者的背景。 【详解】45．文章开头作者通过两个问题“Have you ever heard about DeepSeek? Or have you ever used it for your study?”引出下文。 46．根据第二段划线句后的解释“allowing developers to study and build upon”，可知open-source意味着允许其他人下载代码并用于研究。 47．由第三段“On its first day online, over 19,000 programmers worldwide started projects to study it and most thought highly of it”，可知DeepSeek发布的第一天就吸引了超过19000名来自世界各地的程序员，并且普遍评价很高，排除A、B项，C项正确；甚至一位来自美国著名科技公司的顶尖科学家说“This kind of free AI could change the world”，它可以改变世界，D项错误。 48．第四段明确指出“Born in 1985 in a small town in Guangdong Province”，梁文锋出生在广东，排除A项；“Liang was greatly influenced by his parents who were both primary school teachers”，梁文锋的父母都是小学老师，排除B项；“In 2023, Liang founded DeepSeek in Hangzhou”，梁文锋于2023年在杭州创建了DeepSeek，C项错误；“In university, he developed a strong interest in machine learning.

They are extinct”可知，恐龙已经灭绝；根据第六段“Examples include the Dodo bird that became extinct”可知，渡渡鸟已经灭绝；根据第六段“The passenger pigeon died out”可知，旅鸽已经灭绝。文中没有提到红毛猩猩已经灭绝，因此它不属于灭绝物种。 51．根据第三段“Examples of naturally occurring extinction may take place during a change in the climate.”可知，气候变化会导致灭绝；根据第五段“An animal’s environment may be destroyed by pollution or construction”可知，栖息地破坏会导致灭绝；根据第五段“Humans also overhunt sometimes wiping out an entire species.”可知，过度捕猎也会导致灭绝。因此A、B、C都是原因。 52．根据文章第三段“During a natural extinction, the species may be eliminated by new predators that move into their environment.”以及第五段提到非本地物种进入可能导致另一物种灭绝。因此新捕食者进入环境可能导致另一物种灭绝。 53．根据文章第一段“The collision caused a mass extinction, which occurs at a faster rate over a very short time-period.”。选项D称其为“长时间段内的灭绝”，与原文“very short time-period”相悖。 54．根据文章第五段“The second reason for the extinction of animals is human interaction, which includes hunting and habitat destruction caused by people.”可知，动物灭绝的第二个原因是人类互动，包括人类造成的捕猎和栖息地破坏。 （12） 55．B 56．B 57．A 58．C 59．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了大熊猫的栖息地、饮食习性、过去面临的生存危机以及中国政府为保护大熊猫所采取的措施和取得的成效。 【详解】55．根据第一段第二句“They live in the mountains of southwestern China...”可知，大熊猫主要生活在中国西南山区。 56．根据第二段第一句“Pandas mainly feed on bamboo.”可知，大熊猫主要以竹子为食。 57．根据第二段中“People cut down forests, so pandas lost their homes. Some people even hunted them for their fur.”可知，过去大熊猫面临危险的原因是森林砍伐 (deforestation) 和捕猎 (hunting)。 58．根据第三段第三句“Thanks to these efforts, the number of wild pandas has increased to about 1,864.”可知，现在野生大熊猫的数量约为1864只。 59．根据第三段第二句“Many nature reserves have been built.”可知，政府建立了很多自然保护区来保护大熊猫。A、C、D选项均与保护措施相悖。 （13） 60．C 61．B 62．A 63．D 64．C 【导语】本文讲述了志愿者李明在中国北方丹顶鹤保护区工作的故事。他在那里工作了三年，致力于保护丹顶鹤及其生存环境。通过建立围栏、巡逻和喂食等措施，丹顶鹤的数量从20只增加到了35只。李明为自己的工作感到自豪，并希望更多人加入保护行列。 【详解】60．第1段“I have been working here for three years.”指出李明在这里做志愿者已经三年了。 61．第1段“My job is to protect the cranes and their living environment.”指出他的工作是保护丹顶鹤及其生存环境。 62．第2段“But they are in danger. Wetlands are being destroyed, and some people hunt them for their feathers.”指出湿地被破坏以及人们为了羽毛捕猎它们，导致丹顶鹤处于危险之中。 63．第3段“Now the number of cranes has increased to 35.”指出现在保护区的丹顶鹤数量增加到了35只。 64．最后一段第一句“I feel very proud of my work.”指出李明对自己的工作感到非常自豪。 （14） 65．B 66．B 67．A 68．C 69．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国元代著名画作《富春山居图》的作者、创作历程、画面内容、历史遭遇以及两部分合展的情况。 【详解】65．根据第一段第二句“It was created by Huang Gongwang, one of the Four Masters of the Yuan Dynasty.”可知，这幅画的创作者是黄公望。 66．根据第一段最后一句“Huang started to paint it when he was 79 years old and finished it at the age of 81.”可知，创作耗时为81减去79，即两年。 67．根据第二段第二句“It shows the beautiful scenery of the Fuchun Mountains in Zhejiang Province.”可知，这幅画展示的是富春山的景色。 68．根据第三段第二句“One part is called The Remaining Mountain and is kept in the Zhejiang Provincial Museum.”可知，《剩山图》保存在浙江省博物馆。 69．根据第四段第二句“In 2011, their dream came true. The two parts were put on display in Taipei.”可知，两部分最近在2011年首次一起展出。 （15） 70．A 71．C 72．B 73．A 【导语】本文是ABC Food Bank的公益倡议书，介绍了全球饥饿问题，并呼吁人们捐赠食品以帮助有需要的人。 【详解】70．文中第1段提到“Last year, it affected over 820 million people.”，直接说明了去年受饥饿影响的人数超过8.2亿。 71．文中提到“ABC Food Bank is working to help fix the problem. Now, you can, too! Just drop off some food so that we can continue to feed the needy.”，说明其目的是帮助饥饿的人（feed people in need），同时文中提到全球每年浪费约9.3亿吨食物，该组织也希望通过捐赠来减少食物浪费（help stop food waste），因此b和d正确，对应选项C。 72．文中提到“We only accept: Boxed juice; Canned food; Rice and noodles; Cakes and candies. No expired or opened food. No food that needs to be in a fridge.”，选项B的盒装食品符合要求。 73．根据文章主题，只有关心饥饿问题、愿意捐赠或参与减少食物浪费的人才会联系该组织，选项A的表述符合这一条件。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 【期末备考】2025-2026学年八年级英语下学期期末复习满分冲刺（沪教版广州专用） 专题03 阅读理解15篇（提分策略+题型专练） 提分策略 一、广州沪教版八下期末阅读本地考情 1. 试卷结构与分值（广州区统考统一标准） 阅读理解总分30分，4篇阅读（A/B/C/D），15道单选，每题2分；常搭配信息匹配/短文填空阅读10分，阅读板块合计40分，是期末拉分核心模块。 A篇：应用文（广告、通知、思维导图、活动介绍，简单送分） B篇：记叙文（人物故事、成长、中外名人，细节题为主） C篇：说明文（科普、学习方法、机器人、环保、心理知识，含词义猜测） D篇：议论文/科幻短文（Unit8 Imagine that！主题，推理、主旨难点集中） 2. 沪教版八下必考阅读主题（广州期末高频选材） Unit1 Travel、Unit2 Culture shock、Unit3 Family life、Unit4 Problems and advice、Unit5 Action、Unit6 Healthy eating、Unit7 The adventures of Tom Sawyer、Unit8 Imagine that！ 高频语篇：思维导图、极地探险、海伦凯勒、家用机器人、未来生活、情绪与恐惧、青少年心理、中西文化习俗。 3. 广州卷命题特色（避坑关键） （1） 重同义替换，极少原文原句做正确选项； （2）推理题禁止主观脑补，必须原文划线依据； （3）高频陷阱：绝对词（all/never/must/only）、扩大范围、偷换主语、无中生有； （4）长难句集中在C/D篇，多考查定语从句、非谓语、状语从句（八下核心语法）； （5） 部分试卷节选课本原文改编，吃透单元课文可稳拿基础分。 二、考场标准做题流程（广州考生通用提速法：先题后文三步法） 第一步：审题干圈定位词（30秒/篇） 1. 只读题干，跳过冗长选项； 2. 圈画雷达关键词：数字、大写专有名词、人名、地名、特殊名词、动词； 3. 标注题型符号：细（细节）、推（推理）、词（猜词）、主（主旨）。 第二步：扫读原文精准定位（3–4分钟/篇） 1. 略读首尾段+每段首句，快速把握文体与段落功能； 2. 用圈出关键词回文寻读，锁定答案句，划线标注题号； 3. 长难句拆解：先抓主谓宾主干，后置定语/状语暂时跳过，不逐字翻译。 第三步：对比选项排除陷阱（2–3分钟/篇） 1. 细节题：对照划线句，找同义改写； 2. 推理/主旨题：优先排除含绝对词、局部细节、原文原句的选项； 3. 纠结题标记跳过，全部做完再回头，不占用整体时间。 时间管控（广州期末考场标准） 4篇阅读总时长≤28分钟，单篇6–7分钟；超过8分钟立刻跳过难题，避免挤占完形、写作时间。 三、四大题型满分拆解（广州期末高频题型专属策略） 题型1：细节理解题（占比55%，基础得分主力） 提问标志：What/When/Where/Who/Why/How…；According to the passage… 解题策略 1. 关键词定位，锁定原文1–2句答案区间； 2. 正确答案=原文同义替换（八下高频替换词必背）： excited=thrilled；cheap=inexpensive；buy=purchase；helpful=useful；give up=stop trying 3. 数字计算题：圈出全部数字，简单加减，看清提问对象。 广州高频陷阱 偷换主语：原文主语Tom，选项换成his sister； 范围扩大：some students → all students； 拼凑原文单词，但逻辑完全不符。 题型2：推理判断题（C/D篇难点，拉分题） 提问标志：We can infer/learn from…；What does the writer suggest?；probably 解题铁律（广州阅卷判分标准） 1. 原文直接出现的句子一定不是正确答案； 2. 所有推断必须有原文划线依据，禁止生活常识脑补； 3. 态度推理：positive（积极）/negative（消极）/neutral（中立），抓形容词、转折词but/however。 快速排错口诀 绝对词汇直接划掉；无中生有直接排除；过度脑补全部作废。 题型3：词义猜测题（每卷必考1–2道） 提问标志：The word … in Paragraph X means ______. 四层猜词线索（按优先级使用） 1. 标点线索：破折号、冒号、括号、that is（解释词义）； 2. 逻辑连词：and近义、but/however反义、because因果、such as举例； 3. 构词法：un-/dis-否定前缀，-less无…的，-ful充满…； 4. 上下文举例、对比句。 验证三步法：代入通顺→词性匹配→符合全文主旨 题型4：主旨大意题（D篇压轴难题） 提问标志：Main idea；Best title；What’s the passage mainly about? 解题步骤 1. 优先看标题、首尾段、每段第一句； 2. 正确选项：概括全文，不局限某一段细节； 3. 排错：只讲单段、过于片面、范围过大、偏离文章核心话题。 标题题技巧 标题必须包含文章核心名词，简洁有概括性，不选细节短句。 四、分文体专属解题策略（适配广州沪教版选材） 1. 应用文（A篇：通知、思维导图、活动海报） 不用通读全文，题干关键词直接定位表格、黑体、数字； 重点看时间、地点、要求、费用，信息点对点匹配。 2. 记叙文（B篇：人物、故事） 梳理主线：人物+起因—经过—结果； 细节题占绝大多数，推理侧重人物情绪、行为动机； 代词it/they/this一律往前一句找指代对象。 3. 说明文（C篇：科普、学习工具、健康） 段落结构清晰，段首句多为主旨； 高频词义猜测、数字细节题； 长难句多，抓主干，忽略修饰成分。 4. 议论文/科幻文（D篇：Unit8想象类、观点类） 首段亮作者观点，尾段总结； 推理、主旨、态度题集中； 区分事实（原文陈述）与观点（I think/It seems that）。 五、广州本地期末阅读避坑红线（阅卷高频失分点） 1. 看到all/never/only/must/everyone等绝对词，90%为错误选项； 2. 推理题选原文一模一样句子，直接失分； 3. 主旨题选择某一段细节内容，必错； 4. 凭中文常识做题，忽略原文文本，大量丢分； 5. 生词卡壳反复纠结，浪费时间，可先跳过用上下文猜词； 6. 不划线原文依据，做完无复查证据，容易改错。 六、2026春期末分层提分训练方案（广州学生适配） 基础层（70分以下，稳拿20分基础阅读分） 1. 每日1篇A/B简单阅读，只练细节定位； 2. 背诵八下单元核心同义替换词，整理错题同义替换； 3. 熟读沪教版八下全部课文，课本改编阅读零失分； 4. 训练圈关键词习惯，每道题必须在原文划出证据。 中层（70–90分，冲刺26+阅读分） 1. 每天一套4篇标准阅读，严格计时28分钟； 2. 单独攻克词义猜测、推理题，每道错题标注错误类型（脑补/定位错/绝对词）； 3. 拆解C/D篇长难句，摘抄主干结构； 4. 整理广州区统考真题阅读高频主题词汇（科技、健康、文化、心理）。 尖子层（90+，冲击阅读满分30分） 1. 限时提速训练，4篇控制24分钟内； 2. 专项练主旨标题、作者态度、文章出处推理； 3. 复盘真题命题逻辑，预判同义替换出题点； 4. 拓展Unit8科幻类短篇阅读，适配D篇高频选材。 七、期末考前7天冲刺执行清单（广州专用） 1. 刷近3年广州各区八下沪教版期末阅读真题，不做外地偏题； 2. 整理个人阅读错题本，按四大题型分类，每天复盘5道旧错题； 3. 朗读八下单元阅读课文，提升长难句阅读速度； 4. 熟记猜词、推理、主旨答题固定话术与排错逻辑； 5. 模拟考场计时训练，适应考试节奏，杜绝超时。 八、考场复查10秒检查法（减少粗心失分） 1. 细节题：回看原文划线句，核对同义替换是否匹配； 2. 推理题：确认选项非原文原句，有原文依据； 3. 主旨题：排除局部细节、范围过大选项； 4. 全卷扫查：有无绝对词陷阱、偷换主语、无中生有选项。 题型专练 （1） Come and Help with the City GamesOur City Games will be held from next July 20th to 28th.

Some gestures may even get you in trouble in foreign countries if you don’t know them well. So maybe it is best to keep your hands in your pockets when travelling. There are many kinds of hand gestures; here are some we usually use. People in most countries such as Canada and the USA use a thumbs-up to agree about something. But it may be unfriendly in some countries and shouldn’t be used at all. In Iran, Iraq and Thailand, it is an unfriendly gesture. What does making a circle with your thumb and index finger (食指) mean? In many countries, it means OK. That is not the only meaning, however. For example, it usually means “zero” rather than OK in Australia. And in Japan, it usually means money, but for young people it means OK. Don’t try to call someone to you by using this gesture of your index finger. It may mean “come here” in the USA．But it is an unfriendly hand gesture in most parts of the world. There are places where this could even get you in trouble! You have to worry about the “V” for winning sign. If you use it, you should keep your palm (手掌) facing away from you. If you turn your palm towards you, you’ll be thought to be unfriendly. 11．A thumbs-up is an unfriendly gesture in ________.

Instead, they came up with interesting games to play in their childhood. Let’s take a look. Playing hide-and-seekHide-and-seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. There are two ways to play: covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to play a trick on him or more commonly, others hide and one child must try to find them. Setting off firecrackers (鞭炮)Firecrackers have a history of more than 2, 000 years. It is said that there was a beast (野兽) named Nian in ancient China, and people burnt bamboo joints (竹节) to make them blast (爆炸) to drive away the beast. After gunpowder which is one of the four ancient Chinese inventions was invented, it gradually replaced the bamboo joints. Nowadays, firecrackers are still set off during Spring Festival. Watching shadow playsThe most similar thing to watching a film during ancient times was going to see a shadow play. The artists controlled puppets (木偶) behind the screen to make the puppets move like people and tell stories. People liked listening to the music and enjoyed the beautiful puppets. Kicking stone ballsDuring the Qing Dynasty (1644—1911), kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China, and it was often played in the winter to keep warm. Stones were cut into small balls and kicked along with feet. 20．How can hide-and-seek be played in the more common way? A．One hides and others find. B．One covers eyes and others run. C．Others hide and one finds them. D．One runs and others catch. 21．According to the passage, kicking stone balls was often played ______.

C．Kicking stone balls was popular before Qing. D．All kids must cover eyes in hide-and-seek. 23．What can we infer from the passage? A．Shadow plays were just like modern films. B．Gunpowder replaced bamboo joints in firecrackers. C．All ancient games were from the Tang Dynasty. D．Kicking stone balls was popular all over China. 24．What can we learn about ancient children’s games? A．They were part of traditional culture. B．All of them needed modern tools. C．They were less fun than phone games. D．All of them were only for spring. （6） Is there intelligent life on other planets? For years, scientists said “no” or “we don’t know”. But today, scientists are changing their minds. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronauts. They believe intelligent life exists somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon make contact (联系) with them. Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets? The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. “This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life,” say Shostak and Barnett. The second reason is size—the universe is huge. Tools like the Hubble Telescope have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies, ”says Shostak. “And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar to the Earth.” In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes allow scientists to discover smaller planets—like Mars or Earth—in other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life. Have beings from space already visited the Earth? “Probably not,” says Shostak. It’s a long way away. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other ways, such as through radio signals (信号). In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don’t have the right tools to receive their messages. But this is changing. We could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other in the near future. 25．How does the writer start the passage? A．By asking a question. B．By showing a picture. C．By giving some numbers. D．By showing research findings. 26．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A．The age and size of the Earth. B．Our galaxy-the Milky Way. C．Why there may be intelligent life on other planets.D．The Earth-the only planet with intelligent life. 27．Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past? A．Because there were not any smaller planets. B．Because we didn’t have powerful telescopes then. C．Because the astronomers were not interested in the search. D．Because the scientists didn’t think it was possible. 28．What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to? A．Messages. B．Radio signals. C．Other planets. D．Intelligent beings. 29．What is the best title for this passage? A．The Age of the Universe B．The Size of the Universe C．Intelligent Life on Other Planets D．The Number of Stars in the Universe （7） Technology has the power to do many things, including changing the world we live in and the way we live. We are lucky to live in a time when science and technology can help us make our lives easier and rethink the ways to improve our daily lives. Robots in space and in the workplace Some countries are sending robots of different shapes and sizes into space. As technology progresses, this makes sense. Robots don’t need to worry about oxygen to breathe or food to eat and they can be packed full of sensors (传感器) to send data back to the Earth. Robots can take on the more difficult, dangerous and boring jobs. They can also operate more quickly, efficiently and with fewer mistakes too. Smart mirrors that check your health A quick look in the mirror each morning gives you an idea on how you’re feeling and looking to the outside world. In the future the smart mirrors could check you and tell you about health problems. And they can show the information to you on the mirror at once. It might help you prepare. Roads over rivers Space is running out quickly, especially in crowded city spaces. This way shows a future. Roads and living spaces will move out over the waters. When self-driving cars do all the work and are fast enough, journeys across the oceans this way might come to our life. Lab-grown meat Lab-grown meat is a real thing that’s already being worked on. If scientists can grow meat in the lab, it will change the way we live and eat forever. This change can not only ________ the damage meat farming does to the world, but also offer meat that many people could enjoy. 30．What do we know from the sentence “Robots don’t need to worry about oxygen to breathe or food to eat and they can be packed full of sensors to send data back to the Earth.”? A．Robots can be sent to any place in space. B．Robots can deal with all the problems in space. C．Robots have more advantages than humans in space. D．Robots have different shapes, sizes and colors. 31．What role will the smart mirror play? A． B． C． D． 32．Where will the self-driving cars run in the future? A．On the roads over the waters. B．On the roads under the waters. C．On the surface of the ocean. D．On the roads across mountains. 33．Which phrase can we use to fill in the “________” of the last paragraph? A．write down B．fall down C．put down D．cut down 34．What’s the main idea of the whole passage? A．New places to live in the future. B．Technology that will change our life. C．New technology to keep us healthy. D．Ways to help us live comfortably. （8） Art has always been a window into the human soul. It reflects our feelings, stories and dreams. But today, technology is starting to shape that window in ways we never imagined. Since the 1960s, artists have been using computers and screens to explore new forms of creativity. And now, with artificial intelligence (AI), machines are not only tools—they are becoming partners. AI art is born when a human artist trains a computer to recognize a style, mood or concept. The machine studies thousands of images, follows rules and produces something “new”. But is it really creative—or just copying and remixing what it’s been shown? AI is helpful in many ways. It can save time by doing repetitive tasks like colouring or pattern-making. It can restore (修复) damaged works, experiment with different looks, and even copy famous styles from the past. These abilities allow artists to explore more ideas, faster. Still, there’s something machines don’t have—emotion. AI can recognize patterns, but it doesn’t feel love, sadness or joy. Only humans know what it means to create from memory, experience or deep emotion. Only people give art its personal meaning. Therefore, we must ask: Can a machine truly understand beauty the way we do? If an AI paints a perfect sunset, but has never felt warmth or wonder, does it mean anything at all? In the future, art may be shaped by codes and algorithms (算法), but perhaps the true heart of art will always remain human—made not just by data, but by imagination, feeling and dreams. 35．Why might AI art seem “creative” even though it’s not truly new? A．AI can copy and combine many artworks. B．AI has its own ideas and feelings. C．AI gives personal meanings to art. D．AI always makes creative mistakes. 36．How does the writer feel about human emotion in the creative process? A．It is no use because machines can copy emotion. B．It is what makes art truly meaningful and special. C．It is not as important as other technical skills. D．It is something AI will learn to copy perfectly soon. 37．Why does the writer ask “does it mean anything at all” about AI art in paragraph 5? A．To show that AI art is more beautiful. B．To explain how AI learns from data online. C．To describe how AI paints sunsets. D．To question if AI understands real beauty. 38．What can we infer about the writer’s attitude towards AI in art? A．The writer thinks AI art should not be used forever. B．The writer believes AI will replace human artists. C．The writer is curious but careful about AI’s role in art. D．The writer thinks AI can see things that humans can’t. 39．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Machines can now totally understand how humans feel. B．AI will make all human artists lose their jobs in the near future. C．Technology has changed art, but true creativity remains human. D．Art made by AI is way much better than art made by humans. （9） Long ago, in ancient China, there was a story about the invention of silk. People believed that silk was first invented by Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor. Leizu learned how to make cocoons (蚕茧) into soft and strong cloth. This magical cloth became known as “silk”, and it was so valuable that it was called “China’s gold”. Following the emperor’s orders, the Chinese kept the secret of making silk for centuries. But then, something amazing happened! During the Han Dynasty, the brave officer Zhang Qian traveled west as far as Central Asia and brought silk there. As years passed by, silk became so important that the trade road from Europe to China got its name—the Silk Road. The Silk Road became a busy highway for traders who carried things across deserts and mountains. From China, people sold silk and tea. In return, they received treasures such as spices (香料), gold and silver from the West. At the very beginning, it was mainly about trade; then people began to share ideas, technologies and cultures. For example, Chinese inventions like the papermaking technique were spread to the West, while new ideas about math and science came to China. Most importantly, the Silk Road helped different cultures learn from each other. Art, music and even language were shared along this ancient road. In places like Mogao Caves in China, you can see how art pieces combined Eastern and Western styles into something distinctive. They cannot be seen anywhere else. The story of the Silk Road tells us how people from faraway lands could become friends by trading and sharing ideas. Today, we remember the Silk Road as one of the greatest examples of cooperation and exchange in history. It shows us how important it is to learn about and respect each other’s traditions, and that different cultures can work together to create amazing things. 40．Who invented silk in ancient China?

They are extinct, which means there is no longer a certain kind of plant or animal living anywhere in the world. A species is a certain group of living organisms, like dinosaurs, humans, birds, and many others. Scientists believe many organisms, along with the dinosaurs, died out when a large asteroid collided with the Earth. The collision caused a mass extinction, which occurs at a faster rate over a very short time period. There are usually two reasons for the extinction of animals and other living things. The first is natural, which may take place when animals do not adapt to natural changes in their environment. For example, if the habitat of a bird suddenly changes, and if the bird does not adapt, it could become extinct. Examples of naturally occurring extinction may take place during a change in the climate. This took place during the Ice Age when the temperature of the Earth was much lower. During a natural extinction, the species may be eliminated by new predators that move into their environment. The food needed to survive may no longer be available. Another example of this type of extinction was the woolly mammoth, a relative of the elephant, which died out 10,000 years ago due to climate change and the disappearance of its habitat. The second reason for the extinction of animals is human interaction, which includes hunting and habitat destruction caused by people. An animal’s environment may be destroyed by pollution or construction, such as the destruction of parts of a rainforest. Humans also overhunt sometimes wiping out an entire species. In addition, the moving of non-native species into an area where they are not usually found may lead to the extinction of another species. Examples include the Dodo bird that became extinct due to overhunting and other animals moving into its environment. The passenger pigeon died out due to the destruction of its habitat, as well as overhunting. There are many animals that have become extinct, but when animals are in danger of becoming extinct, yet still survive, they are called endangered animals. 50．All the following are extinct species EXCEPT: A．Dinosaurs B．Orangutans C．Passenger pigeons D．Dodo birds 51．Which of the following is a reason why animals may become extinct or endangered? A．Climate change B．Habitat destruction C．Overhunting D．All of the above 52．New predators moving into the environment may first lead to which of the following? A．Extinction of another species B．An increase in new food sources C．Endangered species D．Loss of land resources 53．Which of the following DOES NOT define a mass extinction well? A．An extinction that occurs at a faster rate compared to a typical extinction B．An extinction of more than one animal or plant species C．An extinction of many organisms on Earth D．An extinction in a long time-period 54．Hunting and habitat destruction are reasons for which of the following types of extinction? A．Natural B．Human interaction C．Mass D．None of the above （12） Giant Pandas: China’s National Treasure Giant pandas are China’s national treasure. They live in the mountains of southwestern China, mainly in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces. Pandas have black and white fur, round faces and black patches around their eyes. They look cute and friendly. Pandas mainly feed on bamboo. They can eat up to 18 kilograms of bamboo a day. In the past, pandas were in great danger. People cut down forests, so pandas lost their homes. Some people even hunted them for their fur. The number of wild pandas dropped to less than 1,000. Now, the Chinese government has taken strong action to protect pandas. Many nature reserves have been built. Hunting pandas is against the law and will be punished. Thanks to these efforts, the number of wild pandas has increased to about 1,864. Pandas are no longer in immediate danger, but they still need our protection. 55．Where do giant pandas mainly live?

I am a volunteer at a red-crowned crane reserve in northern China. I have been working here for three years. My job is to protect the cranes and their living environment. Red-crowned cranes are very beautiful. They have white feathers, black necks and red crowns. They mate for life and dance to show their love. But they are in danger. Wetlands are being destroyed, and some people hunt them for their feathers. When I first came here, there were only 20 cranes in the reserve. Now, things are getting better. We have built fences to protect the wetlands. We also patrol the reserve every day to stop hunters. We provide food for the cranes in winter when food is scarce. Last year, 5 baby cranes were born here. Now the number of cranes has increased to 35. I feel very proud of my work. Protecting cranes is not easy, but it is meaningful. Every living thing has the right to live. I hope more people will join us to protect these beautiful birds. 60．How long has Li Ming been a volunteer? A．For one year. B．For two years.

It was created by Huang Gongwang, one of the Four Masters of the Yuan Dynasty. Huang started to paint it when he was 79 years old and finished it at the age of 81. The painting is 6.36 meters long and 33 centimeters wide. It shows the beautiful scenery of the Fuchun Mountains in Zhejiang Province. The mountains, rivers, trees and clouds in the painting are drawn with simple ink lines, but they look very real. The painting is full of peace and harmony, making people feel at one with nature. Unfortunately, the original painting was broken into two parts in the 17th century. One part is called The Remaining Mountain and is kept in the Zhejiang Provincial Museum. The other part is called the Master Wuyong Scroll and is kept in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. For hundreds of years, people hoped that the two parts could be shown together. In 2011, their dream came true. The two parts were put on display in Taipei. Thousands of visitors came to see the painting. It was a great event in the art world. Today, Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains is not only a masterpiece of Chinese painting, but also a symbol of Chinese cultural heritage.
