It is always hard to get out of bed on a cold winter morning. As I try to get out of bed, I sometimes think, “How 16 it would be if I were a bear! I would then sleep in the whole winter 17 the following spring.”
Bears start preparing for hibernation（冬眠）in early autumn. They eat up to 40 kg of food a day—almost three times as much food as they 18 eat in summer. Their weight can increase by 10 kg to 15 kg every week. When winter arrives, bears have a 19 time finding fruit or hunting animals. To get through the cold months, they fall into long periods of sleep in order to save their strength.
After bears go into hibernation in winter, they do not eat or drink, their stored fat will be broken down to 20 energy. Throughout the winter, they 21 15 to 20 percent of the body weight. After the weather becomes 22 , bears come out from the holes. They eat early spring plants and hunt small animals for food.
Do all bears hibernate Well, Polar bears don’t need to do so. They are used to living in cold weather. Also, bears in zoos do not hibernate if they are 23 food in winter. However, this is unhealthy for these animals, because it may cause 24 to become overweight. Most zoos now allow bears to hibernate. If you don’t see the bears when you visit a zoo in winter, you should be 25 for them. It possibly means that they are enjoying a healthy sleep.

A
Lots of animals live on the earth with us. Some of them look strange. Do you know the animals below They are cute, aren’t they
Is this a duck No, it isn’t. This is a platypus (鸭嘴兽). Its mouth looks like a duck’s. It is an ancient animal. The platypus has lived on the earth for 25 million years. It only lives in Australia.
Is this a rabbit Yes, it is. It is an Angora rabbit (安哥拉兔). It is famous for its long hair, which can grow up to 20 centimeters long! Many people keep Angora rabbits as pets.
What’s this This is a fish. It is called a pufferfish (河豚). It has lots of thorns (河豚). It also has an air bag in its body. The air bag fills up. Then, the pufferfish looks like a ball. The thorns will stand out at the same time. This way, other animals cannot eat them.
What’s that That is a wombat (袋熊). It lives in Australia. Wombats look like bears. But they are smaller than bears. They have short legs and tails. Their ears and eyes are small. They live in underground holes.
26．Which animals can you see in Australia

C．Pufferfish and wombats. D．Platypuses and wombats.

The world is getting warm quickly. The last ten years was the hottest ever recorded according to Climate（气候）Change Service. The ice cap in the Arctic（北极）got smaller from 2. 44 million square miles in 2010 to 1. 6 million square miles in 2019, says NASA’s Earth Observatory（观测站）. Of course, arctic ice isn’t the only thing that’s getting smaller.
Why ice matters
Polar bears need sea ice in order to raise their babies and hunt（捕猎）for food. The sea ice is their habitat—a place where they usually live. Without it, they’re going hungry and their numbers are getting smaller. As reported in 2015, they’re getting “clever” to live on. One way was that bears managed to catch a special kind of dolphin they don’t usually eat and swam into their habitat, ate some of it, then put the rest in snow to eat later. This is a habit the bears don’t often have.
Other food appears
Polar bears mainly eat seals（海豹）but researchers see polar bears in the western Hudson Bay eating snow geese（雪雁）eggs. A polar bear needs to eat 88 eggs to get the same calories from eating one seal. But this cannot keep the bears in the long run; besides, bears eating eggs will make snow geese populations become smaller. Warming weather is also driving polar bears south, to look for food in human rubbish. Another problem is that polar bears are waking up from winter sleep earlier and earlier, which means they need more food than ever. When a bear wakes up, it is usually hungry and has little energy to collect and get the food.
More scientists join in
Without sea ice, there is no sea ice ecosystem（生态系统）and losing that ecosystem means losing polar bears. They can go without food for about 220 days, but if it is more than 220 days, it will cut down their chances to live on. Scientists are reporting more deaths of polar bears because of it.
29．What do polar bears mainly eat
A．Seals. B．Dolphins. C．Geese. D．Eggs.
30．What do you know about polar bears from the passage
A．They always like to put food in snow.
B．They are changing their eating habits to live on.
C．They will die without food for less than 220 days.
D．The number of polar bears is increasing because of climate change.
31．Polar bears are facing the following problems except _______.
A．losing their habitat B．less food that they can get
C．moving to the north D．less sleeping time in winter
C
I have always been fascinated by the animal world. Recently, I read a novel about animals called A Lion’s Traveling. Chinese writer Shen Shixi wrote it.
The book tells the story of five male lions. They are driven out of their home and begin their adventure (冒险). Unluckily, one is hurt by a giraffe. Another is killed by a hunter. The third one dies during a fight for water with a rhino. The fourth lion drowns (淹死). Only the youngest one, named Red Ribbon, is still alive. After going through many difficulties, he finally becomes the lion king.
The story shows the love and care between friends, the life and death faced by brothers, the determination to deal with challenges, and the love for life. The fact that the young lion finally becomes the king teaches me a great lesson: Those who cannot defeat (打败) you will make you stronger. Everyone will face lots of difficulties during their lifetime. We should learn to stay strong and continue to find our better selves.
The book is filled with exciting details about the life of lions. Together with vivid pictures, it gives readers an immersive (沉浸的) experience. You can not only read the great story but also learn a lot about the animals in the real world. I highly recommend it!
32．What is A Lion’s Traveling mainly about
A．How to survive in the wild. B．How to be a lion king.
C．The adventures of five lions. D．The fights among lions.
33．How does the fourth lion die in the book
A．It dies in a fight for water. B．It is killed by a hunter.
C．It is killed by a giraffe. D．It drowns.
34．What has the writer learned from the book
A．What brings passion to life.
B．We should face up to difficulties and be better selves.
C．We should defeat people who challenge us.
D．How to make friends.
35．Why does the writer recommend this book
A．Because it has great pictures drawn by famous painters.
B．Because it tells people how to protect animals and the environment.
C．Because it teaches readers lots of scientific knowledge.
D．Because it offers a good reading experience with vivid pictures.
D
Lighting is one of the most beautiful natural phenomena（现象）. It is also one of the most deadly phenomena. A bolt of lightning is six times hotter than the surface（表面）of the Sun and gives out 30,000 amps of electricity（电）. It can travel at 100, 000 kilometres per hour and has the ability to hit a target up to 40 kilometres away. About 1, 000 people around the world are killed by lightning every day.
Only about ten percent of people struck by lightening will actually die, but the others are actually very badly injured, with burns, broken bones, blindness, deafness, paralysis, or memory loss. However, when the electricity passes through their brain, it can occasionally have unusual and even positive effects. Some blind people have got their sight back after being struck by lightning. One woman said a psychological test showed her intelligence （智力）had greatly improved, and one man said he could no longer feel cold at all and could go out in temperature below freezing in just a T-shirt!
So what should you do to stay safe in a thunderstorm The most important rule is to stay inside, but do not go near phones, electrical appliances, plumbing, or water. If you are stuck outside, do not take shelter under a tree. Instead, roll yourself up into a ball on the ground as small as possible. And do not think it has to be raining in order for lightning to strike.
Strangely, lightning seems to prefer some people to others. If you are a man, you are six times more likely to be struck by lightning than a woman!
36．What does the phrase “positive effects” in Paragraph Two possibly mean
A．something good B．something bad C．something useful D．something useless

The last three of the school’s 22 classrooms changed f 66 seated desks to standing desks. “It’s now the first all-standing school,”Juliet Starrett told TFK.

Starrett’s daughters—Georgia, 10 and Caroline, 7—a 67 this school. They are excited about their new desks. “You feel h 68 , you’re less tired, and you’re more active,” Georgia says. Some of the desks have wheels(轮子) and fidget bars(烦躁调节杆). The bars let kids m 69 in a way that doesn’t trouble the class. Wheels allow the desks to be moved e 70 . The desks can also be changed into different heights. Kids take breaks by s 71 on the floor or on stools.
According to Mark Benden, director of the Texas A&M Center, standing workers are more focused and h 72 .
