It was reported in May 2024 that the China Wildlife Conservation Association (CWCA,中国野生动物保护协会) will send giant pandas Yun Chuan and Xin Bao to the San Diego Zoo in the United States, which is a symbol of a new 10-year period of international conservation partnership. The CWCA has organized experienced caretakers and doctors to go with the pandas to the US. The zoo is getting ready to provide the pandas with a larger and more comfortable living environment. It has also formed a team with special skills related with panda care, daily nursing, and scientific research.
The cooperation (合作) between the CWCA and the San Diego Zoo dates back to 1996 when Bai Yun and Shi Shi became the first pair of pandas to live in the zoo. Giant pandas Hua Mei, born in 1999, and Mei Sheng, born in 2003, who used to live there, are the result of China-US giant panda research cooperation. Over the past twenty years, the two sides have cooperated and solved many technical problems, including important discoveries in key areas like panda raising.
Since the 1990s, China has cooperated on giant panda conservation with 20 countries. “International cooperation in fields such as disease prevention and control, treatment, and wild training and reintroduction to the wild, has achieved good results. Giant pandas will facilitate communication between peoples and let people around the world know China better,” said Li, the leader of the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda.
“Scientific and educational outreach (延伸服务) also serves as a key role in international giant panda exchanges, allowing more people to understand giant pandas, which provides very good support for our efforts in protecting wild giant pandas,” Li said.

In Northwest China’s Gansu Province, there are camel traffic lights at Mingsha Mountain and Yueya Spring, a scenic spot (景点) surrounded by sand dunes (沙丘). A red camel shows “stop” and a green camel shows “go”.

More tigers are moving from Russia into northeastern China. This is because the environment is better for them to live in.
As human activities become less and the number of the wild animals is rising, tigers come to China for food.
Also, there is a cross-border corridor (跨境走廊) between China and Russia. It helps the tigers travel around freely. Data (数据) from a research team show that between 2013 and 2016, nearly 80 percent of the tigers moved across the corridor.
Besides, China started a number of projects to protect the tigers. As we all know, tigers need large areas to move around, so it’s important to build national parks. In 2021, the Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park was set up in Heilongjiang Province and Jilin Province. It covers around 14,100 square kilometers. The national park creates a shared home for the animals. As a result, the number of the tigers has grown.
One more reason is that experts from China and Russia work together to research on tiger protection. Many volunteers go to protect tigers around the forests every year. It’s believed that there will be more tigers in the near future.
根据短文内容，判断下列句子正（T）、误（F）。

After a 10-year project to count tuna and other large fish in the world's oceans, scientists have made a very surprising discovery: these fish are almost gone. Because of too much fishing, almost 90 percent of the worldwide population of large fish—the ones we usually eat—has disappeared. If we don’t act, these animals will totally disappear. That will influence every animal in the ocean.
The demand for fish is growing. Almost a billion people around the world get their protein (蛋白质) mostly from fish. Doctors praise seafood for being low in fat. But what seems like a healthy choice for humans is causing a disaster to our oceans. “People are consuming (消费) too much,” says Lance Morgan, a scientist at the Marine Conservation Biology Institute.
A dish of tuna in restaurants costs more than just one animal's life. When fish like tuna disappear from the ecosystem (生态系统), the ocean’s food chain (链) breaks down. Animals such as sharks, which normally eat tuna, may die because they find no food.
The news may be scary, but taking action from now on can prevent harm that hasn’t happened yet. World organizations are ordering countries to stop fishing too much. The Monterey Bay Aquarium gives seafood choices to anyone hoping to keep healthy without destroying the environment.
“If you care about wildlife, first spend time and think about your own values and beliefs,” says Morgan. “Then decide what you’re going to eat.”

Have you ever imagined what bees can do with their tiny brains Now scientists are looking into a bee’s brain.
Clint Perry, a scientist, has spent much time studying how bees think. He says studying bees is not very different from studying other animals. “The main difficulty is to design (设计) an experiment (实验) bee and get what we want,” he says. “With humans, we can ask them a question and get an answer. But we can’t use the same way to get an answer from bees. They are just trying to get sugar. Bees like sugar.”
The fact that bees like sugar is helpful for scientists to design experiments. For example, in one experiment, Perry gave bees a task: to find delicious sugar on a landing place above a black bar (棒). Perry made the task easier or harder by moving the landing place farther from or closer to the black bar. He found that bees would avoid the task when it was difficult. And when the task was easy, bees would try it.
As for humans, we might choose not to take a test when we weren’t ready for it. And we might choose to take the test when we were well prepared. In the same way, bees seemed to make decisions like humans.
Perry points out that we are not sure whether bees actually make a thoughtful choice from experiments. Now scientists still do not know how bees manage to do so much with their tiny brains. But learning more about how bees’ brains work could help us learn more about how our own brains deal with information.
根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。
31．What did Perry study in his experiments
A．How bees sleep. B．How bees think. C．How bees dream.
32．What can we know from Paragraph 2
A．Bees can talk. B．Bees are lazy. C．Bees like sugar.
33．What would bees do when the task was easy according to Paragraph 3
A．They would try it. B．They would avoid it. C．They would praise it.
34．What’s the importance of looking into bees’ brains
A．It helps us learn how human brains work.
B．It tells us how to make thoughtful choices.
C．It lets us know how to deal with information.
35．Where is the article probably taken from
A．A travel magazine. B．A sports magazine. C．A science magazine.

We’ve all seen pictures of camels carrying heavy loads (负载物) across the sandy desert. They walk without stopping for food or water for several days.
Have you ever wondered how they do it For your answer, take a look at the bag round hump which is on a camel’s back.
Camels are the only animals with humps. And it’s the hump that gives camels the amazing ability to go for long periods of time without food or water. The hump is like a spare cupboard (备用食物柜) where the camel stores (储存) food and water for days when there is nothing to eat or drink.
When life is good, and there is plenty to eat and drink, a camel’s hump can grow to as big as 40 kilograms. The food is changed into fat (脂防) and stored in the camel’s bump.
When there is nothing to eat or drink, camels begin to use the stored fat in their humps. That’s why they can continue to live for weeks without food and up to 10 days without water.
Camels are like sponges. They can take in more than 130 litres of water in one short drink. In only a few minutes, all of this water goes directly to the camel’s blood cells (组胞).
Camels save water too. They never know when they’ll find the next watering hole. As they breathe out, their noses close quickly. The water in the breath stays in their bodies.
After a long trek across the desert carrying 100 kilograms or more, a camel can lose up to 150 kilograms of weight. The camel’s hump will become very small. As soon as this camel gets to an oasis (绿洲), it will take in hundreds of litres of water. In a day, it will get back most of its weight.
Nature really has given camels the perfect system for living the hard desert life.
36．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The shape of the hump. B．The habit of the camel.
C．The function (功能) of the hump. D．The ability of the camel
37．Which is TRUE about the hump
A．The hump stores different kinds of food.
B．The hump always stays the same size.
C．The hump can store more than 130 litres water.
D．The weight of the hump depends on eating conditions.
38．What does the underlined word “sponges” mean
A．海绵 B．弹簧 C．水桶 D．吸管
39．Why docs the writer use some numbers in this passage
A．To explain the facts more clearly.
B．To express the ideas more politely.
C．To make the article more educational.
D．To make the language more beautiful.
40．What does the writer mainly want to tell us

People know animals do have feelings, but they are not sure if these feelings are correctly understood. In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ▲ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls.
The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves.
Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens.
The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier.
41．Which of the following can be put in “________” in Paragraph 1
A．Humans may not like animals. B．Scientists know nothing about it.

The Four Seasons, written by the Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi, was first played about 300 years ago. Since then, it has enjoyed worldwide popularity.
The great musical work includes four parts: “Spring”, “Summer”, “Autumn” and ‘‘Winter”. Each part brings to mind the season it is meant to describe. “Summer”, for example, begins slowly. Listeners can easily picture a hot, lazy summer day when nobody wants to move. When you listen to “Autumn”, a harvest (收获) celebration will readily come to mind.
But now, Hache Costa, a music director in Spain, has decided to give the old work a fresh feel. He says the climate (气候) today is very different from what it was in the 1700s. The Four Seasons would be “a lot dirtier” if it were written now.
Costa has “updated” the musical work to make it match the realities of the modern world. The ‘“updated” musical work has been played in Madrid, Spain. The performance takes place in front of a screen. As the musicians play, a video shows the effects (影响) of climate change, such as forest fires and unusually dry weather.
After enjoying it, people find the new “Summer” now sounds noisier and more powerful. Because of global warming (全球变暖), the other three seasons have become shorter. Costa says he expects people to feel “really sad” after listening to the new Four Seasons.
“I really want more people to become truly aware of (意识到) what is happening to our planet,” says Costa. “And I believe Vivaldi would not be angry with my changes.”
46．What do we know about The Four Seasons
A．It is still unpopular now.
B．It was written by Hache Costa.
C．It was first played about 300 years ago.
47．What will come to mind when we listen to the old “Autumn” according to the passage
A．Forest fires and dry weather. B．A harvest celebration. C．A hot lazy day.
48．Which is close to the underlined word “updated” in meaning in Paragraph 4
A．提上日程 B．追根溯源 C．赋予新意
49．Why did Hache Costa give the old work a fresh feel
A．To call on more people to love music.
B．To raise public awareness of climate change.
C．To present the story of Antonio Vivaldi’s colorful life.

When I was a little boy, I lived next to David. He liked to plant trees in his large yard on weekends. But the way he planted trees was quite different. He never watered his new trees. I asked him why he did so, and he said that watering trees would spoil them. “If you water the trees, each baby tree will grow weaker and weaker.” said David. He told me that watering these new trees would make roots (树根) shallow (浅), but deep roots were very important for trees. I didn’t understand his words at that time.
Several years after I left home, I came back to visit my parents. When I walked by David’s house, I saw the trees that he planted. They are strong now. I suddenly realize that planting a tree is like raising a child. As a father of two children, I shouldn’t care for them too much. Instead, they should depend on themselves. In that case, whatever happens, they can make their own decisions.

Genevieve Moss has serious hearing loss. Her world has always been silent. Alone in a town in England, she often felt lonely.
Then one day in April in 2021, something stopped Moss as she read the local newspaper. It was a photo of a tiny black-and-white cat. A family was looking for a home for their last newborn cat. Moss fell in love with it at first sight and contacted the family. Soon, the cat came to Moss’s house. Moss called the cat Zebby because his colors looked like those of a zebra.
Moss once heard of studies showing that pets can help people deal with loneliness. However, she had no idea that Zebby would become her helper and her ears. From their first night together, Zebby has slept next to her. When he hears noises in the dark, he jumps up. “He became my night watch cat,” Moss said. “Sometimes he would run around the room until I woke up.”
After several weeks, Moss noticed that whenever her phone rang or someone knocked at the door, Zebby would touch her lightly. It wasn’t long before the cat took on another task: collecting Moss’s mail. Now whenever he hears the mailbox being opened, he runs towards it, carries the mail in his mouth and drops it at Moss’s feet.
This past May, Zebby was named Britain’s National Cat of the Year by Cats Protection. According to the largest cat charity, Zebby beat out about 3,000 other cats because of the many ways he makes Moss’s life easier. He has had no training at all, but his natural abilities seem to have told him that his owner needs his help.
“Zebby has made my house a home,” Moss said. “I can hardly imagine not having Zebby in my life now.”
55．Why did Moss choose the cat
A．Because she liked it when she saw its photo. B．Because she wished to have a helping ear.
C．Because she wanted to help a local family. D．Because she planned to study pet animals.
56．What do the underlined words “beat out” probably mean in Paragraph 5
A．Looked prettier than. B．Was quieter than.
C．Felt softer than. D．Did better than.

56．词句猜测题。根据“Zebby beat out about 3,000 other cats because of the many ways he makes Moss’s life easier”可知，Zebby在很多方面让它的主人Moss生活得更轻松，因此此处指它比3000多只猫都做得要好；“beat out”表示“比……做得更好”。故选D。
57．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文讲述了Moss患有严重的听力损失，她的世界一片寂静，但小猫Zebby的到来，不仅让她不再感到孤单，而且在很多方面让她生活得更轻松。结合选项，B选项“Zebby给Moss带来了帮助和快乐”符合文意。故选B。

Orangutan means “person of the forest” in the Malay language. Orangutans are great apes (猿). Wild orangutans live on two islands—Sumatra and Borneo in Southeast Asia. Orangutans have long and powerful arms, fingers and toes. These help them climb and swing between trees in the rainforest.
Orangutans mostly eat fruit. They also eat leaves, flowers, and sometimes insects. Over 300 different types of food have been found in their diet. Orangutans play a very important role in spreading fruit and plant seeds in the forest. This helps to keep their rainforest home healthy.
Orangutans are smart and intelligent. They create and use tools to get seeds from fruit. They also use tools to catch insects from the insides of trees. Orangutans memorize the rainforest where they live. This helps them know which trees have ripe (成熟的) fruit. They build a sleeping nest each night made of branches (树枝) and leaves.
However, orangutans are in great danger. Scientists say that there are less than 62, 000 orangutans remaining in the wild. Young orangutans are sometimes caught and sold as pets. Orangutans are also hunted for food. The biggest problem is that orangutans are losing their homes. Millions of rainforests are cut down each year for palm oil (棕榈油). Palm oil can be used to make candy bars, cookies, shampoos, soaps, and pet food. Most of the palm oil produced in the world is from Sumatra and Borneo.
Wildlife organizations are working hard to help protect the remaining rainforests. If the rainforests disappear, orangutans will disappear forever.

If a family member or a pet is caught inside, you shouldn’t go back in. Firemen know how to perform rescues safely.
69 Change the batteries at least once a year. You should use the test button each month to see if the alarm and batteries are still working. A smoke alarm lasts about ten years. You ought to change it even if it seems to be working.

Are you an “active couch potato (沙发土豆)” You can answer the following two questions and find out: Do you exercise for 30 minutes every day 81
If you answer yes to both questions, then you are an “active couch potato”. It means that even though you exercise, you could be at risk of kinds of health problems.
The World Health Organization advises us to exercise for at least 30 minutes a day. And this can improve our health. 82
Few researchers have tried to answer the question.
Later, some Finnish scientists did new research. 83 The research studied how people move-or don’t move-during the day. The scientists found that about a third of these people exercised for half an hour, but then sat for 10 to 12 hours a day. These people were “active couch potatoes”. 84 The results tell us that if we exercise for half an hour but then sit for the rest of the day, it’s almost as if we had not exercised at all.
85 Just keep it simple. For example, we can clean our houses or climb the stairs. We can also try to do a little more exercise. In short, the goal is to sit less. So try to move more, whenever we can and in any ways that we enjoy.
A．Do you like to eat snacks while watching TV
B．More than 3,700 men and women took part in it.

It was reported in May 2024 that the China Wildlife Conservation Association (CWCA,中国野生动物保护协会) will send giant pandas Yun Chuan and Xin Bao to the San Diego Zoo in the United States, which is a symbol of a new 10-year period of international conservation partnership. The CWCA has organized experienced caretakers and doctors to go with the pandas to the US. The zoo is getting ready to provide the pandas with a larger and more comfortable living environment. It has also formed a team with special skills related with panda care, daily nursing, and scientific research.
The cooperation (合作) between the CWCA and the San Diego Zoo dates back to 1996 when Bai Yun and Shi Shi became the first pair of pandas to live in the zoo. Giant pandas Hua Mei, born in 1999, and Mei Sheng, born in 2003, who used to live there, are the result of China-US giant panda research cooperation. Over the past twenty years, the two sides have cooperated and solved many technical problems, including important discoveries in key areas like panda raising.
Since the 1990s, China has cooperated on giant panda conservation with 20 countries. “International cooperation in fields such as disease prevention and control, treatment, and wild training and reintroduction to the wild, has achieved good results. Giant pandas will facilitate communication between peoples and let people around the world know China better,” said Li, the leader of the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda.
“Scientific and educational outreach (延伸服务) also serves as a key role in international giant panda exchanges, allowing more people to understand giant pandas, which provides very good support for our efforts in protecting wild giant pandas,” Li said.

In Northwest China’s Gansu Province, there are camel traffic lights at Mingsha Mountain and Yueya Spring, a scenic spot (景点) surrounded by sand dunes (沙丘). A red camel shows “stop” and a green camel shows “go”. The special traffic lights, first designed to reduce the traffic jam in the desert, got much media attention in 2023 and have become a popular tourist attraction.
According to a report, more than 3.7 million tourists visited the spot in 2023, with 42 percent choosing camel rides.
The quick increase in tourists needs more local camel herders (牧民). Zhao, 42, is an experienced camel owner from the Yueya Spring Village, who owns 21 camels. The rapid development of tourism has brought hope for the villagers. And they began to do the camel walking business at the scenic spot.
In the busy season in summer, the scenic area is home to about 2,000 camels. Each camel undertakes three trips a day.
“Our village used to be poor, but now we are rich because of the camel walking business. They are like family members to us. In summer, we give them nice food and help them cool down. We also take them to the vet for annual check-ups in winter.” Zhao said.

More tigers are moving from Russia into northeastern China. This is because the environment is better for them to live in.
As human activities become less and the number of the wild animals is rising, tigers come to China for food.
Also, there is a cross-border corridor (跨境走廊) between China and Russia. It helps the tigers travel around freely. Data (数据) from a research team show that between 2013 and 2016, nearly 80 percent of the tigers moved across the corridor.
Besides, China started a number of projects to protect the tigers. As we all know, tigers need large areas to move around, so it’s important to build national parks. In 2021, the Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park was set up in Heilongjiang Province and Jilin Province. It covers around 14,100 square kilometers. The national park creates a shared home for the animals. As a result, the number of the tigers has grown.
One more reason is that experts from China and Russia work together to research on tiger protection. Many volunteers go to protect tigers around the forests every year. It’s believed that there will be more tigers in the near future.

Yushu, Qinghai is one of the habitats for black-necked cranes (黑颈鹤). Cranes have very long necks and their necks are black. That’s why they are called black-necked cranes. Cranes travel very far every year. Cranes spend about 5 months in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Starting in March, black-necked cranes will fly back to Qinghai. There are lakes and marshes (沼泽), perfect for them to live in. Year after year, black-necked cranes may fly to other places, but they always come back to the plateau areas.
Their life is harsh, because they have no enough food and the weather changes very often. Black-necked cranes have a very small population. They are under first-class state protection in China. Local people treat the birds with love. In local tradition, they are a symbol of good luck, so they are very popular.
It is not hard to get along with the wild animals. Just give them a little more space. They can have a bigger chance to thrive (兴旺). People in Qinghai are working very hard to make sure the black-necked cranes live better.

Pan Yuzhen, 77, is an inheritor (继承人) of the intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) of Miao embroidery (刺绣) in Southwest China’s Guizhou Province. Pan has often been a guest on the International fashion stage. 21
“ 22 Since I was five years old, I have learned embroidery from my mother and sister. Miao embroidery methods are complicated (复杂的), but I have financially mastered all of them.” Pan said. “I can embroider clothe for myself and family.”
Pan’s daughter Zhang Yanmei was born in 1977. She suffered from poliomyelitis (小儿麻痹症) at the age of three. Because her family is so poor, 23 She traveled to many cities including Shanghai, Beijing and other places by train. Zhang remembered that her mother was always back home in a hurry and brought some candies and new clothes to her, but she never complained about her hardship.
In 1999, Zhang went to Beijing to join her mother after graduation from high school to do business while learning embroidery. 24 she met many foreign friends there. “They advised me to go abroad and sell embroidery products. I went to the United Sates to do business related to Miao embroidery from 2006 to 2016.” Pan said.
Pan also went to the UK to join in all kinds of fashion show activities. Pan said. “When the foreigners saw these products 25 Miso embroidery is the pride of our Chinese people.”
A．Due to the family’s heavy financial burden (经济负担).
B．At that time, Pan had a stall (摊位) in Panjiayuan Antique (古玩) Market.
C．who were interested in Miao embroidery.
D．She has been famous for these experiences.
E．Pan began to sell Miao embroidery products around the country.
F．they rushed to take photos with the Chinese embroiderer.
G．The girls in my hometown can embroider with needles (针) from a very young age.
After a 10-year project to count tuna and other large fish in the world's oceans, scientists have made a very surprising discovery: these fish are almost gone. Because of too much fishing, almost 90 percent of the worldwide population of large fish—the ones we usually eat—has disappeared. If we don’t act, these animals will totally disappear. That will influence every animal in the ocean.
The demand for fish is growing. Almost a billion people around the world get their protein (蛋白质) mostly from fish. Doctors praise seafood for being low in fat. But what seems like a healthy choice for humans is causing a disaster to our oceans. “People are consuming (消费) too much,” says Lance Morgan, a scientist at the Marine Conservation Biology Institute.
A dish of tuna in restaurants costs more than just one animal's life. When fish like tuna disappear from the ecosystem (生态系统), the ocean’s food chain (链) breaks down. Animals such as sharks, which normally eat tuna, may die because they find no food.
The news may be scary, but taking action from now on can prevent harm that hasn’t happened yet. World organizations are ordering countries to stop fishing too much. The Monterey Bay Aquarium gives seafood choices to anyone hoping to keep healthy without destroying the environment.
“If you care about wildlife, first spend time and think about your own values and beliefs,” says Morgan. “Then decide what you’re going to eat.”
26．How does the writer start the text
A．By giving a fact. B．By asking a question.
C．By telling a story. D．By using a saying.
27．What does the underlined word “demand” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Wish. B．Support. C．Need. D．Price.
28．From Paragraph 3, we know that ________.
A．if sharks die out, tuna will die out soon B．tuna will be more popular in restaurants
C．tuna plays an important role in the ecosystem D．tuna disappeared because they found no food
29．What’s the purpose of the text
A．To tell people to stop polluting our oceans. B．To tell people to protect wildlife in oceans.
C．To tell people to avoid eating too much seafood. D．To tell people to live a balanced and healthy life.
30．What does the last paragraph of the article explain ________.
A．We need to care about wildlife B．We need to eat wild animals
C．We need to reflect on our own values and beliefs D．We don’t want to protect wild animals
Have you ever imagined what bees can do with their tiny brains Now scientists are looking into a bee’s brain.
Clint Perry, a scientist, has spent much time studying how bees think. He says studying bees is not very different from studying other animals. “The main difficulty is to design (设计) an experiment (实验) bee and get what we want,” he says. “With humans, we can ask them a question and get an answer. But we can’t use the same way to get an answer from bees. They are just trying to get sugar. Bees like sugar.”
The fact that bees like sugar is helpful for scientists to design experiments. For example, in one experiment, Perry gave bees a task: to find delicious sugar on a landing place above a black bar (棒). Perry made the task easier or harder by moving the landing place farther from or closer to the black bar. He found that bees would avoid the task when it was difficult. And when the task was easy, bees would try it.
As for humans, we might choose not to take a test when we weren’t ready for it. And we might choose to take the test when we were well prepared. In the same way, bees seemed to make decisions like humans.
Perry points out that we are not sure whether bees actually make a thoughtful choice from experiments. Now scientists still do not know how bees manage to do so much with their tiny brains. But learning more about how bees’ brains work could help us learn more about how our own brains deal with information.

We’ve all seen pictures of camels carrying heavy loads (负载物) across the sandy desert. They walk without stopping for food or water for several days.
Have you ever wondered how they do it For your answer, take a look at the bag round hump which is on a camel’s back.
Camels are the only animals with humps. And it’s the hump that gives camels the amazing ability to go for long periods of time without food or water. The hump is like a spare cupboard (备用食物柜) where the camel stores (储存) food and water for days when there is nothing to eat or drink.
When life is good, and there is plenty to eat and drink, a camel’s hump can grow to as big as 40 kilograms. The food is changed into fat (脂防) and stored in the camel’s bump.
When there is nothing to eat or drink, camels begin to use the stored fat in their humps. That’s why they can continue to live for weeks without food and up to 10 days without water.
Camels are like sponges. They can take in more than 130 litres of water in one short drink. In only a few minutes, all of this water goes directly to the camel’s blood cells (组胞).
Camels save water too. They never know when they’ll find the next watering hole. As they breathe out, their noses close quickly. The water in the breath stays in their bodies.
After a long trek across the desert carrying 100 kilograms or more, a camel can lose up to 150 kilograms of weight. The camel’s hump will become very small. As soon as this camel gets to an oasis (绿洲), it will take in hundreds of litres of water. In a day, it will get back most of its weight.
Nature really has given camels the perfect system for living the hard desert life.
36．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The shape of the hump. B．The habit of the camel.
C．The function (功能) of the hump. D．The ability of the camel
37．Which is TRUE about the hump
A．The hump stores different kinds of food.
B．The hump always stays the same size.
C．The hump can store more than 130 litres water.
D．The weight of the hump depends on eating conditions.
38．What does the underlined word “sponges” mean
A．海绵 B．弹簧 C．水桶 D．吸管
39．Why docs the writer use some numbers in this passage
A．To explain the facts more clearly.
B．To express the ideas more politely.
C．To make the article more educational.
D．To make the language more beautiful.
40．What does the writer mainly want to tell us
A．Camels have some amazing abilities.
B．Camels are good helpers for desert people.
C．Camels have a great quality of never wasting water.
D．Camels have a perfect system for living in the desert.
People know animals do have feelings, but they are not sure if these feelings are correctly understood. In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ▲ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls.
The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves.
Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens.
The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier.
41．Which of the following can be put in “________” in Paragraph 1
A．Humans may not like animals. B．Scientists know nothing about it.
C．Nobody knows why this happens. D．A new study adds chickens to the list.
42．Which is most probably the sound wave of a happy call by a chicken
A． B． C． D．
43．How did the volunteers help with the research
A．By listening to the chicken calls. B．By taking care of the chickens.
C．By finding food for the chickens. D．By making the chickens happy.
44．What does the underlined word “identify” mean in Paragraph 4
A．Control. B．Hide. C．Recognize. D．Hurt.
45．What is the best title for the passage
A．Chickens’ Food Calls B．Happy Chickens, Sad Chickens
C．Farmers’ Best Choice D．Smart Farmers, Healthy Farmers
The Four Seasons, written by the Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi, was first played about 300 years ago. Since then, it has enjoyed worldwide popularity.
The great musical work includes four parts: “Spring”, “Summer”, “Autumn” and ‘‘Winter”. Each part brings to mind the season it is meant to describe. “Summer”, for example, begins slowly. Listeners can easily picture a hot, lazy summer day when nobody wants to move. When you listen to “Autumn”, a harvest (收获) celebration will readily come to mind.
But now, Hache Costa, a music director in Spain, has decided to give the old work a fresh feel. He says the climate (气候) today is very different from what it was in the 1700s. The Four Seasons would be “a lot dirtier” if it were written now.
Costa has “updated” the musical work to make it match the realities of the modern world. The ‘“updated” musical work has been played in Madrid, Spain. The performance takes place in front of a screen. As the musicians play, a video shows the effects (影响) of climate change, such as forest fires and unusually dry weather.
After enjoying it, people find the new “Summer” now sounds noisier and more powerful. Because of global warming (全球变暖), the other three seasons have become shorter. Costa says he expects people to feel “really sad” after listening to the new Four Seasons.
“I really want more people to become truly aware of (意识到) what is happening to our planet,” says Costa. “And I believe Vivaldi would not be angry with my changes.”
46．What do we know about The Four Seasons
A．It is still unpopular now.
B．It was written by Hache Costa.
C．It was first played about 300 years ago.
47．What will come to mind when we listen to the old “Autumn” according to the passage
A．Forest fires and dry weather. B．A harvest celebration. C．A hot lazy day.
48．Which is close to the underlined word “updated” in meaning in Paragraph 4
A．提上日程 B．追根溯源 C．赋予新意
49．Why did Hache Costa give the old work a fresh feel
A．To call on more people to love music.
B．To raise public awareness of climate change.
C．To present the story of Antonio Vivaldi’s colorful life.
When I was a little boy, I lived next to David. He liked to plant trees in his large yard on weekends. But the way he planted trees was quite different. He never watered his new trees. I asked him why he did so, and he said that watering trees would spoil them. “If you water the trees, each baby tree will grow weaker and weaker.” said David. He told me that watering these new trees would make roots (树根) shallow (浅), but deep roots were very important for trees. I didn’t understand his words at that time.
Several years after I left home, I came back to visit my parents. When I walked by David’s house, I saw the trees that he planted. They are strong now. I suddenly realize that planting a tree is like raising a child. As a father of two children, I shouldn’t care for them too much. Instead, they should depend on themselves.

Genevieve Moss has serious hearing loss. Her world has always been silent. Alone in a town in England, she often felt lonely.
Then one day in April in 2021, something stopped Moss as she read the local newspaper. It was a photo of a tiny black-and-white cat. A family was looking for a home for their last newborn cat. Moss fell in love with it at first sight and contacted the family. Soon, the cat came to Moss’s house. Moss called the cat Zebby because his colors looked like those of a zebra.
Moss once heard of studies showing that pets can help people deal with loneliness. However, she had no idea that Zebby would become her helper and her ears. From their first night together, Zebby has slept next to her. When he hears noises in the dark, he jumps up. “He became my night watch cat,” Moss said. “Sometimes he would run around the room until I woke up.”
After several weeks, Moss noticed that whenever her phone rang or someone knocked at the door, Zebby would touch her lightly. It wasn’t long before the cat took on another task: collecting Moss’s mail. Now whenever he hears the mailbox being opened, he runs towards it, carries the mail in his mouth and drops it at Moss’s feet.
This past May, Zebby was named Britain’s National Cat of the Year by Cats Protection. According to the largest cat charity, Zebby beat out about 3,000 other cats because of the many ways he makes Moss’s life easier. He has had no training at all, but his natural abilities seem to have told him that his owner needs his help.
“Zebby has made my house a home,” Moss said. “I can hardly imagine not having Zebby in my life now.”

Orangutan means “person of the forest” in the Malay language. Orangutans are great apes (猿). Wild orangutans live on two islands—Sumatra and Borneo in Southeast Asia. Orangutans have long and powerful arms, fingers and toes. These help them climb and swing between trees in the rainforest.
Orangutans mostly eat fruit. They also eat leaves, flowers, and sometimes insects. Over 300 different types of food have been found in their diet. Orangutans play a very important role in spreading fruit and plant seeds in the forest. This helps to keep their rainforest home healthy.
Orangutans are smart and intelligent. They create and use tools to get seeds from fruit. They also use tools to catch insects from the insides of trees. Orangutans memorize the rainforest where they live. This helps them know which trees have ripe (成熟的) fruit. They build a sleeping nest each night made of branches (树枝) and leaves.
However, orangutans are in great danger. Scientists say that there are less than 62, 000 orangutans remaining in the wild. Young orangutans are sometimes caught and sold as pets. Orangutans are also hunted for food. The biggest problem is that orangutans are losing their homes. Millions of rainforests are cut down each year for palm oil (棕榈油). Palm oil can be used to make candy bars, cookies, shampoos, soaps, and pet food. Most of the palm oil produced in the world is from Sumatra and Borneo.
Wildlife organizations are working hard to help protect the remaining rainforests. If the rainforests disappear, orangutans will disappear forever.

Smoke alarms (警报器)
House fires cause many deaths each year and a large number of these fires are unfortunately set by children. 66 Kids must understand that they’d better not play with fire. You should keep matches and lighters out of their reach.
67 The main job of such an alarm is to protect you while you’re asleep. You should have a smoke alarm outside each bedroom and on each floor of your home. You ought to have two plans for getting out of your house if there is a fire and practise these plans in the dark with your family.
A smoke alarm warns you of the danger. 68 Take action immediately. When you come to a closed door, check it with the back of your hand. If it feels hot, there may be smoke or fire behind the door, so take care. Once you are out of your house, call the fire department from a neighbor’s house. If a family member or a pet is caught inside, you shouldn’t go back in. Firemen know how to perform rescues safely.
69 Change the batteries at least once a year. You should use the test button each month to see if the alarm and batteries are still working. A smoke alarm lasts about ten years. You ought to change it even if it seems to be working.
About two out of three fire deaths happen in homes with no working smoke alarms. 70
根据短文内容容，将下面方框中的选项还原到文中的空白处，其中有一个选项是多余的，使短文内容完整、通顺。
