Once there lived a milkmaid on a farm. One day, the milkmaid was walking down the village, carrying a pail of milk on her head. She was going from her farm to the village to sell the milk. As she walked, she began to daydream.
"I will sell this pail of milk in the village. With the money I get, I can do whatever I like. How fantastic! "
As she walked along, her pretty head was busy with plans for the future. "I should be able to buy at least three hundred eggs. Of these three hundred eggs, at least two hundred will hatch（孵出）into chickens. I will sell a hundred and fifty of these chickens in the market when the time is right. The last fifty of them will remain on my farm and grow up to lay more eggs.
With all the money, I can buy a beautiful new dress. I will wear this dress and go to the Christmas party. All the young women will look up at me and all the young men will want to dance with me, so I might be proud of myself. 1 will hold my head high and say no to everyone—until the Prince himself asks to dance with me.

Plants are rooted（扎根）in one place. They can't run away from danger or walk over the sunny side of the garden. So they have to develop some special ways to protect themselves and grow in the nature.
Some scientists found that plants can sense their surroundings（环境）.
You've all seen plants grow towards light which is called phototropism. Even if the top of them are cut off the plants don't change the direction. They sense the light and tell the rest of the plants how to grow then.
Some plants "talk” with each other by using "airmail" to warn each other of danger. Researchers in England cut the leaves of cabbages. The cabbages then produce a tiny number of chemicals（化学物质）that protect themselves from some insects. Strangely, the cabbages which aren't cut nearby also begin to give off their own different chemicals. That means they seem to receive a warning from their cabbage neighbors.
Most amazingly, plants have a great system of communication that can connect nearly every plant in a forest by fungi（真菌）. It connects the roots of different plants to each other. Scientists call the system the “wood wide web”，similar to the Internet we use. Using the network, plants can communicate and share information and even food with each other.
Whatever the case, plants are stranger and more wonderful than we can imagine.
61. Picture ___________ shows the underlined word “phototropism”.

62. The cabbages produce the chemicals to ____________.
A. sense the light B. change the direction
C. protect themselves D. make leaves grow
63. The underlined word "they" refers to ________________.
A. unhealthy leaves B. airmail C. uncut cabbages D. insects
64. According to the passage, we know that plants have the ability of _______________.
① sense ② thinking ③ communication ④hearing
A. ①④ B. ①③ C. ②④ D. ②③
65. The fungi builds the “wood wide web" by ________________.
A. making noises B. connecting the roots
C. using the Internet D. making the wood

Imagine you need to send an important document (文件) far away as soon as possible. How would you do it? Chances are that you would use email or a smartphone app. However, for many people, the answer to that question is the fax machine.
The first fax machine was invented in 1843 by Alexander Bain. Then in 1964, modem fax machines became widely available. In the1980s and 1990s, they were considered the fastest and safest way to send information.
With the development of technology, you might think email would have made the fax machine a thing of the past, but you’d be wrong. The number of faxes sent each year is only growing. One explanation is that fax machines are still easier to use for documents that are written by hand. But the real reason for their continued use has to do with security.
Email is convenient, but it can be hacked (非法入侵).This is a danger for governments, hospitals, and other organizations that deal with sensitive data (数据). Using a fax machine allows information to go directly from one place to another without needing to be saved on a computer. It can then be kept in a physical location where it’s more difficult to steal.
Fax machine technology grew quickly throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and it continues to develop today. Long live the fax machine!
56．The fax machine has a history of ________ years.
A．32 B．42 C．58 D．179
57．The underlined word “sensitive” in the fourth paragraph means________.
A．敏感的 B．复杂的 C．客观的 D．精确的
58．The advantage of the fax machine over the email is that________.
A．it’s faster B．it’s safer
C．it’s more convenient D．it’s more developed
59．According to the passage, the fax machine________.
A．is only used in the hospitals B．is hardly developing today
C．makes email a thing of the past D．can send documents written by hand
60．You may read this passage from the section________of a magazine.
A．Future Music B．Wild World C．Science Study D．Star Stories


Have you found that it’s hard to take your eyes off your phone? Do you feel left-out not being invited to a party? Do you think that others are having more fun, and living better lives than you? If the answer to any of these questions is “yes,” you may be suffering from (遭受) the Fear Of Missing Out, or “FOMO”. But, don’t worry, FOMO influences many people in the modem world. You are not alone.
FOMO has become a common social situation in recent years. The growth of mobile technology and social media is where FOMO comes in. New mobile technologies help us connect with anyone at all times. However, it is a double-edged sword (双刃剑). Today, most of social media are filled with photos and updates which only show the best parts of others’ lives. That can leave us feeling that our own lives are imperfect.
So, what can we do to fight against FOMO? One idea is to cut down the time you spend on social media. Setting time limits (时限) for how long you read through or use social media each day will be helpful. Also, it’s a good way to just focus on what you have but not what you don’t. What’s more, keep a so-called gratitude journal (感恩日志), where you write down three things you are grateful for every day. With these tips, FOMO can be beaten, and you will be able to have a more enjoyable life.
61．________might be experiencing FOMO.
A．Kate who thinks she lives a better life than others
B．Ben who doesn’t mind not being invited to a party
C．Tim who finds it hard to take his eyes off the phone
D．Linda who doesn’t like keeping in touch with others
62．The underlined sentence “You are not alone” means ________.
A．it’s OK to live alone sometimes B．there are more questions to come
C．it’s unusual for you to have FOMO D．some people also suffer from FOMO
63．The second paragraph is mainly about ________of FOMO.
A．the meaning B．the reasons C．the history D．the solutions
64．According to the passage, ________ are the ways to fight against FOMO.
①keeping a gratitude journal            ②setting limits on making friends
③focusing on what you don’t have            ④cutting down the social media time
A．①② B．②③ C．③④ D．①④
65．The main idea of the passage is ________.
A．having fun using the mobile phone B．staying far away from social media
C．recognizing and fighting against FOMO D．enjoying and showing the best part of life

A
A mom went to visit her son in a big city. He has worked there for years, but his mom has never heard from him about his life there. When she arrived at the train station, her son picked her up and drove her to a large and beautiful house.
She stepped into the house with her mouth wide open. Reading his mom’s thought, the son volunteered, “I know what you are thinking, but I promise that I bought this big house two years ago and have lived here since then. You can live with me for a month.”
A month passed, the mom came back home. Several days later she received an email from her son which read,
Dear mom,
After you visit me, the expensive silver plates we used to have dinner in the kitchen had been missing. I’m not saying that you did take them. But the fact is that I need to use them.
Soon the son received an e-mail from his mom.
Dear son,
I’m not saying that you don’t live in the house or the house is not even yours. But the fact is that if you sleep in any of the three bedrooms, your head would have felt uncomfortable because the silver plates were put under the pillows.

Chicken eggs are just thin shells (壳) made of mineral (矿物), but you may be surprised how strong they are.
What you need
*Four eggs *A bowl *A pen
*Scissors or a knife *A piece of paper * Some books
What to do

① Use the scissors or knife to break a hole in the small end of each egg. Empty out what’s inside into the bowl. Wash and dry the shells.

②Draw a fine line around the widest part of each egg. Break away the shell between the line and the hole slowly.

③ Put shells in a square at the four corners of the piece of paper, with the round end of the egg on top.

④Place books gently onto the four egg shells one after another, and see how many books you can add before the egg shells break down!
What happened
The strength of an eggshell lies in its shape. It’s like a 3D arch (拱形) or dome, which is one of the strongest shapes. The shape of the eggshell spreads pressure all over the whole egg, rather than at one point. In fact, the shape of the eggshell is seen in many types of architecture, including doorways and large windows. The strong walls of the shell will support the weak point. At right conditions, the thin eggshell can even hold up 20kg of weight!




51. The main purpose of the passage is to ________.

C. find out different kinds of eggshells D. show that eggshells are strong

A. Animal World B. Trip Advice C. Amazing Food D. Science Kids

C
There you are, looking through your Qzone or Weibo, and you come across sayings like “nbcs”,“zqsg” or “paw”. But what do they mean?
These are examples of internet slang(俚语) terms that have become popular among China’s post-00 generation(时代). According to People’s Daily, these internet slang terms mainly come from two ways: the acronyms(首字母缩写) of pinyin or English and a set of emojis(表情).
For example, “nsdd” is made up of the first letters from pinyin “Ni shi dui de” which means “you are right” and “brb” means “Be right back”. A group or emojis of “sun”, “soccer” and “tea” may tell people that a person played soccer and drank tea in the daytime.
Li Junzhang, a 16-year-old student, loves using internet slang terms. She chooses to express herself using these symbols rather than words when communicating online. She believes, “We like to talk in a convenient way. And parents have no idea what we are talking about. Using the new terms creates a feeling of being ourselves and gives us a sense of belonging to a certain generation.”
“Of course, we encourage people to express themselves in different ways,” a language expert said. “but we also fear that the use of internet slang terms will lead to more mistakes in using Chinese characters.”
56 According to the passage, we can usually see slang terms like “nsdd” or “brb” from ________.
A. magazines B. novels C. online language D. newspaper
57. We can infer (推断) the slang term “PAW” means ________.
A. Parents are watching B. Laugh out loud
C. Friends are forever D. Be right back
58. The activities mentioned in Paragraph 3 can be shown as the emojis ________.
A. B.
C. D.
59. In the expert’s opinion, using internet slang terms can ________.
A. bring convenience in communication B. help to hide secrets from parents
C. encourage using Chinese characters D. cause problems in language using
60. It can be inferred from the passage ________.
A. young people like using slang terms when talking face to face
B. slang terms will take the place of traditional Chinese language
C. Li Junzhang prefers communicating with words to symbols online
D. using slang terms creates a sense of belonging to a certain generation

D

A big sandstorm hit northern China on March 15, 2021. It covered many cities with thick clouds of yellow dust (尘土).
The storm, which came from Mongolia (蒙古国), was the largest sandstorm to hit China in the past 10 years. Many flights and classes were canceled because the visibility (能见度) was lower than 500 meters.
The storm was the result of warm and dry weather in the area, together with the strong winds from Mongolia. “There has been little rainfall so far this spring and the temperature is rising. So now is a worrying time for sandstorms,” said an expert from Beijing.

In recent years, sandstorms haven’t been as common in northern China as before. The land with desertification (荒漠化) has been falling by 7,585 km2 per year in China, and the area of sandy land has been decreasing by 1,284 km2 a year. This is thanks to China’s Three-North Shelter Forest Program (TNSFP, 三北防护林工程) which started in the 1970s. Millions of trees have been planted in northern China to prevent sandstorms and protect the environment.
Besides, China has a color-graded warming system for sandstorms (as shown in the picture), with red meaning the most serious, followed by orange, yellow, blue and green. Therefore, people would have time to get prepared for the sandstorm.
61. According to the passage, the sandstorm in March ________.
A. covered many cities with rain B. came from Northern China
C. has been the biggest one since 2011 D. improved the visibility to 500m
62. Paragraph 3 mainly talks about the ________ of sandstorm.
A. results B. causes C. history D. areas
63. The underlined word “decreasing” in Paragraph 4 means ________.
A. going down B. rising up C. taking up D. running out
64. If the visibility in your city is 400m, a(n) ________ warning will be given out.
A. red B. orange C. yellow D. blue
65. The passage introduces TNSFP and the warning system to show ________.
A. where the serious sandstorms come from
B. why people should protect the environment
C. how to protect ourselves during sandstorms
D. what China has done to fight against sandstorms
