A
How bloody a scene! Blood Falls in Antarctica is a waterfall which pours blood-red water into a river. The sight is a perfect background for a horror (恐怖) film: full of mysteries and of course bloody. Its special colour was long believed to be caused by red algae (红藻). Until 2017, the true cause of the so-called blood was proved to be oxidized iron (被氧化的铁) in saltwater.
Amazing yet a dangerous sight. Frozen bubbles can be seen in winter at Abraham Lake in Canada. When there is too much methane (甲烷) gas underwater and it freezes, it will finally form this special sight—frozen bubbles. Plenty of methane has a high risk. So even a lit match can cause an explosion (爆炸).
During the new moon and full moon times, tourists can see a clear reflection of the sky in the waters of Sasaran Beach in Malaysia. The smooth sand and lowest water level (水位) create such an unbelievable sight. Also known as the “Mirror of the Sky”. This beach is an amazing place to take pictures.
1. What really cause(s) the water shot by Blood Falls to be blood-red?
A. Oxidized iron. B. Red algae. C. Methane gas. D. Scary films.
2. Which of the following can best describe the picture?
A. A woman is dancing freely in the sky.
B. A woman is taking special photos there.
C. A woman in a dress is mirrored in the water on the beach.
D. Two people are staying in the same position upside down.
3. What do the three pieces of news above have in common?
A. They describe the same mystery.
B. They show the causes of the special sights.
C. They introduce places fit for visiting.

①Have you heard of Shennong, a legendary (传说中的) ruler in ancient China about 5,000 years ago? He could know what plants do to human bodies because he had a transparent belly (透明的肚子). After eating plants, he could see what was going on inside. This way, he found plants that were good for people’s health. And now, scientists may have found a way for everyone to see through his or her skin.
②In a recent study, scientists at Stanford University in the US used a yellow food dye (染料) to make the skin of a mouse transparent for a while. People often use this dye in snack foods and candies.
③In the study, scientists took off the fur of some mice and put the dye on their skin. After a while, they could see through mice’s brains and see how food moves through their bodies. “It takes them a few minutes for the transparency to appear.” said one of the scientists, Zihao Ou. After they washed away the dye, the skin looked normal again. The dye doesn’t hurt animals.
④When scientists mix this dye with water and put it on the mice’s skin, it turns the water under the skin into something more like proteins and fats. The skin then scatters (散射) less light. The less light things scatter, the more transparent they look. That’s why the skin looks transparent. It’s like how things become clearer when the fog goes away.
⑤________. It can make giving shots (打针) easier. It could also help doctors find cancer (癌症) earlier.
5. We can learn ________ from the first two paragraphs.
A. Shennong was a soldier about 5,000 years ago
B. we may see through our skin in the near future

A man made his living by collecting coconuts in the countryside. One day, he went to a village that he had never been to before.
Towards the end of the day, his wagon (马车) was filled with coconuts. He decided to head home, because it was getting late. He wished to know how long it would take to get back to his village.
He saw an old man and stopped to ask for directions.
“Excuse me.” he said. “Could you please tell me how long it will take to get to Carson from this village?”
The old man showed him the right direction and said. “If you go slowly, it will take only a short while to get home. But if you go quickly, it will take a long time and you will not get home until late in the night.”
The man could not understand the answer. He didn’t believe the old man’s suggestion was friendly. He gave the man an angry look and hit his horse to make it hurry. The horse began to run quickly. But soon, coconuts began to fall from the wagon. Each time, the man got off to collect the fallen coconuts and put them back into his wagon.
The faster he went, the more coconuts fell from his wagon and the more time he had to take to pick them up. So he went home very late at last. However, if he had travelled slowly, maybe none of the coconuts would have fallen, and the man would have arrived home much earlier.
And so, as the old man said, go slowly and it will take only a short while.
9. Why was the man angry?
A. Because he had lost many coconuts.
B. Because the horse was going too slow.
C. Because he thought the old man was unhelpful.
D. Because the old man gave him a wrong direction.
10. Which is the correct order of the man’s experience?
a. The man stopped to ask for directions.
b. Coconuts began to fall from the wagon.
c. The man went home very late at last.
d. The man went to a small village.
e. The man didn’t believe the old man’s suggestion
A. b-e-c-a-d B. d-a-e-b-c C. b-c-d-e-a D. a-d-b-e-c
11. Which of the following words can best describe the old man?
A. wise. B. crazy. C. brave. D. friendly.
12. What can we learn from the story?
A. The faster, the better. B. Practice makes perfect.
C. hurry slows you down. D. It’s never too late to learn.
D
New rules and behavior standards (行为规范) came out in March. Middle school is going to use a new way to decide who the top students are. The best students won’t only have high marks. They can also be kids who don’t dye their hair, smoke or drink. The following are some of the new rules.
Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone else’s work on an exam? Don’t do it again! That’s not something an honest student should do. If you have played computer games for two hours in your room, don’t tell your parents you have done homework.

That way. you can learn more about animals and how to protect them. When more people work together. it makes it more fun for everyone.
Have you ever quarreled with your teammates when your basketball team lost? Only working together can make your team stronger. Be friendly to the people you are with. Try to think of others. Not only yourself.
Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Maybe you’ll discover another Earth someday. Don’t look down on new ideas. Everyone’s ideas are important. You should welcome them. because new ideas make life better for everyone.
Protect yourself. Has someone ever taken money from one of your classmates? Don’t let it happen to you. If you have to go home late. you should let your parents know.
Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your studies. But some things on the Internet aren’t for kids. so try to look at web pages that are good for you. You can use the web for fun or homework. Can’t you find any good websites for children? Here are some: http:// kids.eastday.com http:// www.chinakids.net.com http://www.cvcnet.com

Reporter: How did you learn English yourself?
Clara: I started learning English when I was about six or seven years old. A new language school opened near my home. I started attending classes twice a week. During my teenage years, I attended several international youth meetings. I also went to Australia. I learned a lot from communicating with native English speakers.
Reporter: What’s the best part of teaching English for you?
Clara: Teachers are a fun group of people. They often get excited about a challenge. Many teachers almost always find a way to make things work. I’ve learned a lot from them.
And then there are the students. There is nothing better in life than to see them realize their dreams.
Reporter: What suggestions do you always give to your students?
Clara: As a language learner, you have to be comfortable with making mistakes. The goal is to be able to communicate with others. Learning a language can be a lifelong process. No one can learn to speak a language well overnight. You will be speaking just a little more every day.

Clara: I think the biggest challenge today is the unknown. We have no way of knowing what will happen in the future, so how can you prepare? Well, you can’t be prepared for everything.

These small rules will help you get on well with your friend.
Wish you a wonderful trip in China!
Yours,
Li Hua
