Tom lived deep in the forest with a family of deer.He lost his parents when he was little,

woods.But he was not one of them.As he grew older,he began to wonder about the world of
human beings.
One cold morning,Tom walked along a river for a long time until he arrived at a small
town.Some children were playing games.When they saw the strange boy in animal clothes,they
were surprised and ran away quickly.
Then a farmer walked out,and Tom opened his hands to show that he was hungry.The
farmer hurried back and called many other people.
"Look,"one old man said,"this boy has lived in the forest for years."And a lady called
Anna walked closer."He looks just like my son who got lost three years ago.""Take him home,

Anna,"other people said."Maybe this is a gift from the forest."So Anna took Tom to her house
and gave him some food.

like a cage.He could not run freely as he did in the forest."But I need to get used to human life,"
Tom said to himself."I should learn to talk and live like other people."He was good at leaming,
and soon he picked up lots of new words from Anna.
However,that night,Tom could not fall asleep indoors.He jumped out of the window and
slept on the grass outside.Before he closed his eyes,a soft deer nose touched his face.It was
Little White,one of his deer family members.

They will look for you later."

Chinese researchers have developed a new system that can gently stop hundred-ton aircraft
during emergency (landings on the runway.The system has recently received a national
creation award.
The rescarchers developed a new material called foam(泡沫)concrete(混擬土).It looks
like common concrete but weighs just 200 kg per cubic metre-about a tenth of the weight of
standard concrete.When an aircraft runs into it,the material creates a"soft stopper"that takes in
energy through controlled breaking.This allows the plane to slow down smoothly and finally stop
safely.
Landing is one of the most dangerous periods of flight.International air travel rules require
a safety area of at least 90 metres beyond runways.In the past,the area was filled with water,
grass,soil,or sand.All of them had disadvantages:Water could become hard ice or attract wildlife,
while soil strength changed with weather.
The key challenge is controlling how the foam concrete breaks down.It must have enough
stiength to support aircraft wheels but be weak enough to collapse when hit.For example,for
large passenger planes,its strength must fall exactly between 0.30 and 0.35 megapascals ()
Unlike earlier foreign designs that depended on expensive but not long-lasting concrete,the
Chinese team developed a method that made the system cheaper and more lasting.They also
developed methods to put millions of bubbles into the material and control the way it tums hard,
making sure it works well even after being used in the open air for a long time.
The system has now been used at 14 airports across China.Tests show that after one year,
the material's properties (change by only 3%,proving its high quality.
9.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.What the material looks like.
B.How the material is made.
C.What makes the system work well
D.How the system is developed.
10.What does the underlined word"collapse"most probably mean?
A.Break.
B.Form.
C.Appear.
D.Bur
答案第4页,共10页
11.What is the key advantage of the system?
A.It can stop an aircraft in a shorter time.
B.It can slow down an aircraft smoothly.
C.It can create a safety area of over 90 metres.
D.It can be used in the open air.
12.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To introduce a new runway safety system.
B.To explain a new flying technology.
C.To describe some possible landing methods.
D.To compare two different safety
materials.

DWe've all been there-sitting in a meeting,classroom,or workshop,not understanding a
concept (but too afraid to ask questions.The fear of sounding silly keeps us silent.We tell
ourselves that everyone else must already understand,that our question is "stupid",and that it's
better to nod along than risk embarrassment )
2But what if those"stupid"questions are the most valuable ones?What if they're the key
to encouraging creation,increasing confidence and connecting more meaningfully with others?
3There are no stupid questions.What we consider as"stupid"questions always challenge
fixed thinking and cause great breakthroughs.Many new possibilities come from such questions,
like Newton thinking about why apples fall to the ground and ancient thinkers questioning why
the sun rises and sets.These questions break traditional thinking and lead to creative discoveries.
4Moreover,asking such questions builds personal confidence and connection between
people.Each time we ask a "stupid"question,we're reducing the fear of losing face.We become
more and more confident.At the same time,by asking "stupid"questions,we invite real
conversations.When we ask "stupid"questions,we allow others to ask their own.We tell others
it's okay not to know everything,creating a culture of openness and curiosity.This leads to deeper
and more honest connections.
5In short,in a world that doesn't give value to true curiosity but to appearing
knowledgeable,asking "stupid"questions becomes a superpower.So,the next time you think of a
"stupid"question,just ask it.Remember:It is not a sign of silliness,but a sign of courage and true
learning.
13.What stops people asking questions about a concept that they don't understand?
A.The difficulty of the concept.
B.The value of the concept.
C.The worry about embarrassing others.
D.The fear of losing face.
14.What does the writer think of"stupid"questions in the passage?
A.They often lead to creative discoveries.
B.They are often caused by fixed thinking.
C.They often increase pcople's fear of feeling silly.
D.They are often asked by stupid people in conversations.
15What is the best struoture of the passage?
A.①/②③④/⑤
B.①②/③1④⑤
C.①②③/④⑤
D.①/②③④/⑤
16.What is the best title for the passage?
A.The Way of Asking"Stupid"Questions
B.The Types of"Stupid"Questions

Horses were domesticated()in China thousands of years ago.They were used as a tool

in Chinese literature works.17_
One fantastic description of a horse is the legendary (and kind qilin.It is an
imaginary animal with a dragon's head,long horns (and a horse-or deer-like body.18
According to legend,gilin only arrives during times of great peace and happiness or when a true
great man is present in the world.
Horses appear not only in legend.19 For example,the famous Red Rabbit,or
ChiTu,,was mentioned in the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms(《三国演义》)as the warring
horse of Lu Bu.This horse helped with Lu's victories so often that the saying rose:"Among men,
Lui Bu;among horses,Chi Tu."
20 In this novel called Journey to the West,the third son of the Dragon King of
the West Sea would be put to death after setting a fire that burnt the palace's treasures.Luckily,he
was saved and told to wait for Tang Sanzang by a river.There,the dragon met Tang but mistook
him for somebody else and ate his horse.As punishment,the dragon was turned into the White
Dragon Horse and served as Tang Sanzang's riding horse for the journey.
Together,these stories display the lasting cultural importance of horses in China.

Nowadays,typing or texting is taking the place of the strokes()of Chinese characters.
For this reason,people are paying less attention to handwriting.As a result,they can't even
remember exactly how to write a given character sometimes.This is called"character amnesia(
笔忘字)”
To change the situation,the TV program named Chinese Character Dictation (
Competition came out.Meng Man,who teaches at Minzu University of China,took part in the
competition as a judge."I was surprised by some competitors because I couldn't even-remember
how to write certain characters,but they could,"she said.Now many adults have trouble writing
Chinese characters.The program is rcally great,since it draws people's attention to this problem."
When typing or texting,most people use a system where they type out the pinyin of a
character and then get a list of all pessible Chinese characters.They just need to choose the one
they want from the list.The bad thing about the system is that it stops people from thinking about
how a Chinese character is formed.
“Chinese characters are usually square.They teach people to be upright(正直的).Typing
or texting will influence people's understanding of the traditional culture behind the Chinese
characters,"Meng said.
To solve the problem of "character amnesia",experts suggest that people change their
mobile phone texting way from pinyin to handwriting.In this way,they can avoid forgetting how
to write characters.
41.What problem do some people face according to Paragraph 1?
42.Why is the typing system bad for people when they write Chinese characters?
43.How do people deal with"character amnesia"according to the experts?
