Chu Wenwen, 27, is famous as the “Beaver Princess”. Four years ago, she finished college and went back home to Xinjiang. That’s when Mengxin beavers(蒙新河狸)became a part of her life.
Mengxin beavers are a first-class state-protected animal in China. They are only found along the Ulungur River in Xinjiang. When Chu went there, she was shocked by what she saw. “Many beavers die fighting for a habitat(栖息地). Willow shrubs(灌木柳)are their most important food source, but they were disappearing in the area,” she said. “I decided to do something.”
In 2018, Chu started the “beaver canteen” program and made a plan to plant shrubs for the beavers. It might cost more than 2 million yuan. To raise money, she posted videos on the Internet, showing how beavers build dams and how she saved wild animals. She also livestreamed(直播)to show the beavers eating the shrubs she planted. Through her work, about 400,000 willow shrubs were planted with money from Internet users.
Because of Chu’s efforts, the number of beaver nests(窝)has increased from 162 to 190 over the past four years. Chu said, “We will continue to encourage more people, especially the youth, to take part in nature conservation.”
Now, she is working on a new program called the “beaver ark”. It’s a hospital for injured wild animals. She also runs a “beaver guardian” program. It trains local people to patrol(巡护)along the river.
34. Many Mengxin beavers died four years ago because ________.
A. they were only found along the Ulungur River

【答案】29. B 30. B 31. A 32. D
【解析】本文主要讲了“河狸公主”楚文文，介绍了她为保护濒危动物河狸所付出的努力和取得的成就，并呼吁人们一起加入。
29.细节理解题。根据“Many beavers die fighting for a habitat(栖息地). Willow shrubs(灌木柳)are their most important food source, but they were disappearing in the area,”可知，许多河狸为争夺栖息地而死。柳树灌木是它们最重要的食物来源，但柳树灌木在该地区正在消失。故选B。
30.细节理解题。根据“To raise money, she posted videos on the Internet, showing how beavers build dams and how she saved wild animals.”可知，为了筹集资金，她在互联网上发布视频，展示河狸如何建造水坝，以及她如何拯救野生动物。故选B。
31.词义猜测题。根据“Because of Chu’s efforts, the number of beaver nests(窝)has increased from 162 to 190 over the past four years.”可知，这是楚为保护河狸所取得的成就，结合“We will continue to encourage more people, especially the youth, to take part in nature conservation.”可知，我们将继续鼓励更多的人，尤其是年轻人，参与到自然保护中来，conservation应是保护的意思。故选A。

D（2022年海珠区八年级期末试题）
There are many cookery shows on TV and you wish you could reach through your screen and taste the delicious dishes yourself. Now, some scientists from a Japanese university have taken a huge step towards making that a reality, with the development of a lickable TV screen.
The machine is called Taste the TV (TTTV). It is just what it sounds like, a TV with a screen that you can lick to taste different flavours. The machine has 10 different flavour containers, and the flavours are sprayed onto a thin film that is placed on the screen, ready for the user to taste!
The scientists developed this product with hopes to make a platform where tastes from around the world can be tasted by users around the world. In the COVID-19 era, this kind of technology can increase the way people connect and communicate with the outside world, said the scientist. “The goal is to make it possible for people to have the experience of something like eating at a restaurant on the other side of the world, even while at home,” he said.
They have also been in talks with companies about using their spray technology for use. For example, a machine that can apply a pizza or chocolate taste to a piece of bread. A member of the team, aged 22, showed TTTV for reporters, telling the screen she wanted to taste sweet chocolate. After a few tries, the flavour was rolled on a thin film. After tasting it, she said, “It’s kind of like milk chocolate. It’s sweet like a chocolate sauce.”
It is not yet clear whether this product will be approved of by the public. But possible uses are endless, and could even one day help astronauts on long-distance journeys have a wide flavour combination.
37. What is TTTV?
A. A show. B. A container. C. A TV. D. A screen.
38. Which of the following are parts of TTTV?
A. Containers and a screen. B. Containers and dishes.
C. A screen and a cooker. D. A film and dishes.
39. Why did scientists develop TTTV?
A. To make a piece of bread taste like a pizza.
B. To help people communicate with each other.
C. To help astronauts cook delicious dishes during the journey.
D. To help people enjoy the taste of food from around the world.
40. What’s the passage mainly about?

I am Li Hua from Class 6, Grade 9. I am very interested in the Chinese Traditional Culture Festival. Here are some of my suggestions about how to spread traditional Chinese culture.
First of all, I think we can read some books and watch videos about Chinese traditional culture so that we can learn a lot from them. Second, there should be some traditional culture clubs for us to join, such as paper-cutting clubs and opera clubs. Next time when we need to introduce traditional culture to people from different countries or people who are not familiar with our customs, we know what to do. In addition, it’s a good idea to draw some posters and put them up in our schoolyard.
To put it simply, it’s necessary to understand and spread the true spirit of our Chinese traditional culture. I hope these ideas will be helpful. Yours, Li Hua
