I started upcycling clothing，Making new things out of old clothes is the best way to mix my talent and my interest.Do you upcycle？If so，what new things have you made？If not，why not give it a try？ What do you think of the "new" bat I made for my sister？It used to be my mum's sweater.

25．（6分）A lot of animals travel from one place to another.We call this migration.
In Africa，large animals，like elephants and zebras，migrate to find food and water.They usually follow the same ways every year.
A lot of birds migrate to find food and better weather，too.They are usually birds that eat insects.They spend the summer in northern Europe，because there are lots of insects there.In the winter there aren't any insects，too.In North America，millions of monarch butterflies fly south to spend the winter in Mexico，where it's warmer.They travel 50 km﹣65km each day and they travel about 1，125 km.
Some fish migrate to breed（繁殖）.Salmon（鲑鱼） can swim over 20，Scotland and other places in northern Europe.The young fish swim down the river to the sea and into the Atlantic Ocean.They live in the ocean until they are adults.Then they return to the river where they were born.They lay their eggs in the river and then they usually die.Salmon do this，because their eggs are safer in the river.Other fish can't eat them.
Arctic terns （北极燕鸥） travel the furthest when they migrate.They spend the summer in the Arctic，but when winter comes they fly to the Antarctic，000 km from one end of the earth to the other and back again.Nobody knows how they do it.
（1）According to the passage，monarch butterflies in North America migrate to .
A.find insects
B.look for water
C.find better weather
D.produce the young
（2）Adult salmon swim back to the river because .
A.they won't be eaten by other big fish

D.they want to go where they grew up
（3）The example of Arctic terns in the last paragraph is used mainly to show .
A.the distance of migration

26．（8分）Scientists believe the Earth is 4.6 billion years old.However，the mountains，valleys （山谷），rivers，deserts and forests we see today are much younger than that.For example，at about 15000 years old.
The Earth is always changing because of volcanoes （火山），earthquakes and of course，wind and rain.Some of these changes are very slow and others are quick.Water and ice can make very great changes to the planet.For example，rivers of ice can cut through mountains and make lakes and deep valleys.Many volcanoes are under the oceans and sometimes they become new islands.This is happening in the South Pacific.
It's normal for our planet to change，but at the moment，scientists think it's changing faster than usual.Some deserts are growing and many forests are getting smaller.The weather is getting wetter in some places and drier in others，the sea level will continue to rise in the next hundred years.As a result，many cities will possibly be covered by water and much of the most productive farming areas will be lost.Some island countries are likely to disappear on the map of the world.
These changes will bring great harm to the planet.However，they can be beneficial to some people.For example，as the Arctic （北极） is getting warmer，some people in Greenland now own businesses and sell vegetables they grow on their land.That wasn't possible in the far north 50 years ago.Farmers in Greenland like the warm weather and hope it will continue.
（1）How does the writer describe the changes of the Earth in Paragraph 2？
A．By giving examples.
B．By comparing things.
C．By telling stories.
D．By listing numbers.
（2）From Paragraph 3，we can mainly learn about .
A．the age of the Earth
B．problems for the planet
C．the life of the farmers
D．influences on the mountains
（3）The underlined word "beneficial" in Paragraph 4 is the closest in meaning to " ".
A．harmful
B．normal
C．helpful
D．uncomfortable
（4）In which part of a magazine can we most probably find this article？
A．Art.
B．Business.
C．Advertisement.
D．Environment.
27．（6分）①Chinese calligraphy（书法） was once considered an important part of the school curriculum（课程）.However，some people think it's less important to teach this art form at school now.In this article，I will look at both the pros and cons of learning Chinese calligraphy at school.
②One reason why Chinese calligraphy should be learned at school is that it is an important form of culture expression.Clearly，it is not just about practicing handwriting.It is also about connecting with a traditional Chinese art form.When students learn this art in class，they will become more interested in the works of famous Chinese artists.
③Another reason is that it may help students to develop patience.At the times of high technology，students are getting less patient for traditional classroom learning.By introducing Chinese calligraphy into the classroom，students' patience can be improved because they have to practice focusing on each brush movement.
④From the above，it can be seen that there are clear advantages.However，others think there are some disadvantages.The first one is that it has little to do with students' life.Living in a modern age，wouldn't it be a backward（倒退的） step if students were asked to spend their valuable time at school learning Chinese calligraphy？
⑤The second argument against learning Chinese calligraphy at school is that it takes a long time to master.The time at school is better spent on more important subjects.After all，learning Chinese calligraphy can always be done as an after﹣school activity if students are really interested in it.
⑥In my opinion，the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.This special art form is one of China's national treasures.It also helps to enrich students' life and improve their sense of beauty.So without doubt，it is worth being included in the school curriculum.
（1）Which of the following is the structure of the passage？
A.
B.
C.
D.
（2）What can we learn from the passage？
A.High technology can help students become more patient.
B.Students should spend more time on after﹣school activities.
C.Learning Chinese calligraphy gets more popular in the modern age.
D.Students may like art works better after learning Chinese calligraphy.
（3）What does the writer probably think of learning Chinese calligraphy？
A.Important and necessary.
B.Valuable but backward.
C.Popular and interesting.
D.Meaningful but boring.
28．（6分）In Jinzhong，Shanxi Province，there is a group of people who are busy drawing maps around.They are not workers on geography（调度员） on Emergency （急救） Center of the city.
Since 2007，the dispatchers in the center have been drawing maps of the local areas.
"A dispatcher's job is counted in seconds，"says Liang Ruimei，a dispatcher in the center.She has been working in the center since it started in 2007."We must answer the phone in 3 seconds（调度）emergency medical workers in 3 minutes at most.If we save one second，the patient may have a better chance to live. "
Although nowadays the center has electronic maps，the dispatchers still walk through the streets to draw maps by hand.
After many years' hard work，the dispatchers keep every building and street of the city in mind.They even know whether or not a car can enter the gate of a building.Sometimes the caller can't tell clearly where he is，but it doesn't matter.As long as he describes the buildings around
"We are trying to be quicker than death，" says Liang.
（1）What is Liang Ruimei？ （不超过10个词）
（2）When did Emergency Center of Jinzhong start？ （不超过5个词）
（3）If the caller can't tell the dispatcher clearly where he is，what should the caller do？ （不超过10个词）

34．【答案】Dear Kate，
I'm glad to receive your email.Now I want to tell you something about the Chinese table manners.In China，we must wait until everyone is at the table.And when the dinner starts，the host doesn't eat every dish first.He waits for the guests and elders to dig in.We don't tap bowls with the chopsticks，which is considered impolite.We shouldn't reach across the table to get something to eat，because in that case，we may break or knock something over.Besides，we usually toast good health or success of the host and thank him for his treat.Hope to see you in China and everything goes well.
Yours，
Li Hui
