A small accident led t prfund changes in the life f Yang Li, an artisan(手艺人), wh is frm the Mia ethnic grup. In 2011, Yang, frm Tngren city in Guizhu prvince, created leafvein(脉络) embridery(刺绣) three mnths after a leaf cut her hand.
The wrk is a perfect cmbinatin f traditinal embridery patterns and the natural textures(纹理) f the leaves. It has a unique aesthetic appeal f traditinal embridery matched with the characteristics f cntemprary craftsmanship.
As a native Mia wman with an inbrn lve f embridery, Yang pened a flk culture prducts shp with her sister in 2011. “Peple are becming less familiar with traditinal handicrafts, and I want t cntribute all I can t change this situatin，” Yang says. At first, the small shp did nt earn significant incme as there were many similar prducts n the market. She gradually realized that it was imprtant t establish her wn brand and launch prducts with distinct features.
That's when she was inspired by the cut. In July 2011, Yang accidentally cut her hand n a thrny leaf when she was hiking in Fanjing Muntain. A bld idea came int her head: “There are leafvein(叶脉) bkmarks and leafvein paintings. Why has nbdy created leafvein embridery yet？”
Obviusly, the reasn behind this is that embridering n leaves requires delicate skills that few pssess. The biggest technical challenge Yang faced was imprving the flexibility f the leaves and making them as sft as clth. On Oct 16, a day she will never frget, Yang finally created a shiny, thin and unbreakable piece f leaf vein. Her idea f leafvein embridery came t cmpletin after hundreds f experiments.
Tw years later, Yang pened an embridery prcessing factry and ffered jbs t mre than 500 laidff female wrkers, rural wmen and peple with disabilities. “I will keep ding the leafvein embridery fr the rest f my life because it is meaningful，” she says.
( )24. What d we knw abut Yang Li's flk culture prducts shp?
A. It was inspired by a cut by a leaf in her hand.
B. It was a failure befre she began t sell similar prducts.
C. It was intended t preserve traditinal Chinese handicrafts.
D. It perfectly cmbined traditinal Chinese bks and drawings.
( )25. What is Yang Li's difficulty in making her leafvein embridery?
A. Finding clth with veinlike texture.
B. Creating a new embridery pattern.
C. Changing leaves int unbreakable clth.
D. Sftening up leaves fr better flexibility.
( )26. Which f the fllwing best describes Yang Li?
A. Ambitius and innvative. B. Caring and patient.
C. Persistent and demanding. D. Humrus and ptimistic.
( )27. What is the text mainly abut?
A. An embridery skill. B. A prmising career.
C. A cultural shp. D. An admirable artisan.
C
Humans have always assumed that there is a huge gulf between animal behavir and human develpment. Hwever, recent research int animals shws that animals are cntinuusly designing innvative methds t finish their tasks. Examining the nature and results f their creativity can help us understand evlutin.
Research shws that animals t can be creative. By inventing new behaviral patterns and adjusting their behavir t new cntexts, as well as t changes in scial and eclgical envirnments, researchers shw that animal innvatin t can be diverse. Fr instance, chimpanzees(猩猩) use tls such as sharp spines and stalks t remve the hearts f palm vegetables frm trees. Herring gulls(鲱鱼海鸥) fund ut quite a cruel way f killing rabbits—drwning them in the sea.
Innvative species tend t survive when they enter new places, but nvel behavir cannt be recgnized unless “nrmal” behavir is studied. Researchers can nw cunt and dcument the innvatins that have been created by species, which wuld help them t quantify their creativity. Studies als shw us that all animals are nt equally inventive, with primates(灵长目动物) tending t be mre innvative due t their bigger brains.
The greatest scientific significance has been the innvatin shwn by animals such as apes, capuchins and macaques amng primates. These species f primates pssess the biggest brains in prprtin t their bdy sizes. They are als heavy tl users. Their brad diets and cmplex frms f learning are als insightful. They indicate an evlutinary strategy that gave them new slutins t life's challenges.
Hwever, even if these animals shw innvativeness, they d nt have the ability t imprve upn slutins f thers. Unless they share infrmatin accurately and cpy each ther's inventins, their creative inventins are likely t vanish befre they can be innvated further. This ability can be managed nly by humans, fr we are able t build n shared knwledge.
( )28. What des the underlined wrd “gulf” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Difference. B. Cnflict. C. Balance. D. Cnnectin.
( )29. Why des the authr mentin “chimpanzees” and “Herring gulls” in Paragraph 2?
A. They are bth creative.
B. They are bth heavy tl users.
C. They create innvatins in different ways.
D. They kill ther animals in the same cruel way.
( )30. What can we learn abut animal creativity?
A. It is equally distributed amng animals.
B. It helps animals adapt t the envirnment.
C. Animals' innvatins are easy t be identified.
D. Animals' innvatins are facing huge challenges.
( )31. What aspect f animals des the last paragraph mainly talk abut?
A. Their ability t share infrmatin accurately.
B. Their willingness t learn frm each ther.
C. Their inability t take creativity frward.
D. Their unwillingness t cperate effectively.
D
Persnally, there is nthing I lve mre than asking “stupid” questins, especially the nes that have n right answers. I remember nce asking sme kids what time it was, at hme, in Singapre, and finally n the Mn. After a lng giggling silence, finally a shy girl ventured(试探地说) t say that it was “every time”， fllwed by an energetic Einstein wh shuted it was “n time”. Bth kids shared that week's Nble Prize, because n humans live in that distant wrld and time is a human cnstruct.
As a matter f fact, we are all gd at asking questins by nature, but sadly as we age, we get accustmed t the wrld arund us and take things fr granted. We became mre resultsriented(注重结果的) and cncentrate ur effrts n success. If smething is wrking, dn't fix it r wrry abut the cause; just relax and g with the flw. Cnventinal wisdm may wrk well, but that des nt mean it is always right. Thrughut histry, it has been thse wh have questined cnventinal wisdm and thse wh have challenged ur cmmnsense ntins f the wrld that have been the nes t have ushered in(开启) the majr advancements f human civilizatin.
In 500 B．C., the ancient Greeks wndered whether the Earth was rund because sailrs n the sea had nticed that the farther suth they went, the mre different stars they saw in the sky. Why was the sky changing? Nearly 2，000 years later, the Italian astrnmer Galile Galilei became interested in this questin and ended up demnstrating the “crazy” cncept f helicentrism(日心说), in which the Sun lies at the center f the universe while the Earth revlves(旋转) arund it at 30 kilmeters per secnd. But if the Earth is spinning arund s quickly, why aren't we being thrwn ff f the surface f the planet? The answer t this questin wuld nt end up being revealed t us fr anther century.
Peple like rutine, but past perfrmance is n guarantee f future results. While thse wh challenge cnventinal wisdm tend t be subjected t abuse, the prgress f humankind wuld have therwise been impssible withut these persistent peple and their “stupid” questins.
( )32. What is the best title f this article?
A. Asking “stupid” questins
B. Is cnventinal wisdm useless?
C. Sme majr advancements f human civilizatin
D. What caused them t ask cnventinal questins?
( )33. What cmmnly happens t us when we grw lder accrding t the authr?
A. We lay t much emphasis n prcess.
B. We still refuse t relax and g with the flw.
C. We start t challenge cmmnsense ntins f the wrld.
D. We gradually lse the ability t questin cnventinal wisdm.
( )34. Wh might have slved the questin “why aren't we being thrwn ff f the surface f the planet”？
A. An ancient Greek scientist living in 500 B．C.
B. Galile Galilei living between 1564 and 1642.
C. Isaac Newtn living between 1643 and 1727.
D. Albert Einstein living between 1879 and 1955.
( )35. Hw des the authr develp his writing n the whle?
A. By cmparisn and cntrast. B. By using supprting examples.
C. By using time and space rder. D. By generalizatin and definitin.

A. Frget the cre f friendship.
B. N matter the cntext, explaining clearly is key.

F. In that case, priritize yur wellbeing and quietly cut ties withut guilt.

“Where's the rest f my paper？” thundered an angry Papa Bear, strming int the living rm. It didn't take him lng t find Brther Bear and the sprts sectin.
“I just brrwed it，” said Brther. Papa snatched it up and plumped dwn in his easy chair. Brther wandered int the kitchen lking fr sympathy frm Mama Bear. “Gee，” he said, “what's eating him？” “Yur father lks frward t his evening paper，” Mama said, “and he has a perfect right t be annyed when half f it is missing—and furthermre, thank yu nt t refer t yur father as him！”
She stmped ut f the kitchen.
“Why nt? He's a him, isn't he? Gsh，” said Brther, “what's eating her？”
What was “eating” Mama was Sister Bear. Sister had been n the phne with Lizzy Bruin fr almst an hur.

A small accident led t prfund changes in the life f Yang Li, an artisan(手艺人), wh is frm the Mia ethnic grup. In 2011, Yang, frm Tngren city in Guizhu prvince, created leafvein(脉络) embridery(刺绣) three mnths after a leaf cut her hand.
The wrk is a perfect cmbinatin f traditinal embridery patterns and the natural textures(纹理) f the leaves. It has a unique aesthetic appeal f traditinal embridery matched with the characteristics f cntemprary craftsmanship.
As a native Mia wman with an inbrn lve f embridery, Yang pened a flk culture prducts shp with her sister in 2011. “Peple are becming less familiar with traditinal handicrafts, and I want t cntribute all I can t change this situatin，” Yang says. At first, the small shp did nt earn significant incme as there were many similar prducts n the market. She gradually realized that it was imprtant t establish her wn brand and launch prducts with distinct features.
That's when she was inspired by the cut. In July 2011, Yang accidentally cut her hand n a thrny leaf when she was hiking in Fanjing Muntain. A bld idea came int her head: “There are leafvein(叶脉) bkmarks and leafvein paintings. Why has nbdy created leafvein embridery yet？”
Obviusly, the reasn behind this is that embridering n leaves requires delicate skills that few pssess. The biggest technical challenge Yang faced was imprving the flexibility f the leaves and making them as sft as clth. On Oct 16, a day she will never frget, Yang finally created a shiny, thin and unbreakable piece f leaf vein. Her idea f leafvein embridery came t cmpletin after hundreds f experiments.
Tw years later, Yang pened an embridery prcessing factry and ffered jbs t mre than 500 laidff female wrkers, rural wmen and peple with disabilities. “I will keep ding the leafvein embridery fr the rest f my life because it is meaningful，” she says.
( )24. What d we knw abut Yang Li's flk culture prducts shp?
A. It was inspired by a cut by a leaf in her hand.
B. It was a failure befre she began t sell similar prducts.
C. It was intended t preserve traditinal Chinese handicrafts.
D. It perfectly cmbined traditinal Chinese bks and drawings.
( )25. What is Yang Li's difficulty in making her leafvein embridery?
A. Finding clth with veinlike texture.
B. Creating a new embridery pattern.
C. Changing leaves int unbreakable clth.
D. Sftening up leaves fr better flexibility.
( )26. Which f the fllwing best describes Yang Li?
A. Ambitius and innvative. B. Caring and patient.
C. Persistent and demanding. D. Humrus and ptimistic.
( )27. What is the text mainly abut?
A. An embridery skill. B. A prmising career.
C. A cultural shp. D. An admirable artisan.

Humans have always assumed that there is a huge gulf between animal behavir and human develpment. Hwever, recent research int animals shws that animals are cntinuusly designing innvative methds t finish their tasks. Examining the nature and results f their creativity can help us understand evlutin.
Research shws that animals t can be creative. By inventing new behaviral patterns and adjusting their behavir t new cntexts, as well as t changes in scial and eclgical envirnments, researchers shw that animal innvatin t can be diverse. Fr instance, chimpanzees(猩猩) use tls such as sharp spines and stalks t remve the hearts f palm vegetables frm trees. Herring gulls(鲱鱼海鸥) fund ut quite a cruel way f killing rabbits—drwning them in the sea.
Innvative species tend t survive when they enter new places, but nvel behavir cannt be recgnized unless “nrmal” behavir is studied. Researchers can nw cunt and dcument the innvatins that have been created by species, which wuld help them t quantify their creativity. Studies als shw us that all animals are nt equally inventive, with primates(灵长目动物) tending t be mre innvative due t their bigger brains.
The greatest scientific significance has been the innvatin shwn by animals such as apes, capuchins and macaques amng primates. These species f primates pssess the biggest brains in prprtin t their bdy sizes. They are als heavy tl users. Their brad diets and cmplex frms f learning are als insightful. They indicate an evlutinary strategy that gave them new slutins t life's challenges.
Hwever, even if these animals shw innvativeness, they d nt have the ability t imprve upn slutins f thers. Unless they share infrmatin accurately and cpy each ther's inventins, their creative inventins are likely t vanish befre they can be innvated further. This ability can be managed nly by humans, fr we are able t build n shared knwledge.
( )28. What des the underlined wrd “gulf” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Difference. B. Cnflict. C. Balance. D. Cnnectin.
( )29. Why des the authr mentin “chimpanzees” and “Herring gulls” in Paragraph 2?
A. They are bth creative.
B. They are bth heavy tl users.
C. They create innvatins in different ways.
D. They kill ther animals in the same cruel way.
( )30. What can we learn abut animal creativity?
A. It is equally distributed amng animals.
B. It helps animals adapt t the envirnment.
C. Animals' innvatins are easy t be identified.
D. Animals' innvatins are facing huge challenges.
( )31. What aspect f animals des the last paragraph mainly talk abut?
A. Their ability t share infrmatin accurately.
B. Their willingness t learn frm each ther.
C. Their inability t take creativity frward.
D. Their unwillingness t cperate effectively.

Persnally, there is nthing I lve mre than asking “stupid” questins, especially the nes that have n right answers. I remember nce asking sme kids what time it was, at hme, in Singapre, and finally n the Mn. After a lng giggling silence, finally a shy girl ventured(试探地说) t say that it was “every time”， fllwed by an energetic Einstein wh shuted it was “n time”. Bth kids shared that week's Nble Prize, because n humans live in that distant wrld and time is a human cnstruct.
As a matter f fact, we are all gd at asking questins by nature, but sadly as we age, we get accustmed t the wrld arund us and take things fr granted. We became mre resultsriented(注重结果的) and cncentrate ur effrts n success. If smething is wrking, dn't fix it r wrry abut the cause; just relax and g with the flw. Cnventinal wisdm may wrk well, but that des nt mean it is always right. Thrughut histry, it has been thse wh have questined cnventinal wisdm and thse wh have challenged ur cmmnsense ntins f the wrld that have been the nes t have ushered in(开启) the majr advancements f human civilizatin.
In 500 B．C., the ancient Greeks wndered whether the Earth was rund because sailrs n the sea had nticed that the farther suth they went, the mre different stars they saw in the sky. Why was the sky changing? Nearly 2，000 years later, the Italian astrnmer Galile Galilei became interested in this questin and ended up demnstrating the “crazy” cncept f helicentrism(日心说), in which the Sun lies at the center f the universe while the Earth revlves(旋转) arund it at 30 kilmeters per secnd. But if the Earth is spinning arund s quickly, why aren't we being thrwn ff f the surface f the planet? The answer t this questin wuld nt end up being revealed t us fr anther century.
Peple like rutine, but past perfrmance is n guarantee f future results. While thse wh challenge cnventinal wisdm tend t be subjected t abuse, the prgress f humankind wuld have therwise been impssible withut these persistent peple and their “stupid” questins.
( )32. What is the best title f this article?
A. Asking “stupid” questins
B. Is cnventinal wisdm useless?
C. Sme majr advancements f human civilizatin
D. What caused them t ask cnventinal questins?
( )33. What cmmnly happens t us when we grw lder accrding t the authr?
A. We lay t much emphasis n prcess.
B. We still refuse t relax and g with the flw.
C. We start t challenge cmmnsense ntins f the wrld.
D. We gradually lse the ability t questin cnventinal wisdm.
( )34. Wh might have slved the questin “why aren't we being thrwn ff f the surface f the planet”？
A. An ancient Greek scientist living in 500 B．C.
B. Galile Galilei living between 1564 and 1642.
C. Isaac Newtn living between 1643 and 1727.
D. Albert Einstein living between 1879 and 1955.

A. By cmparisn and cntrast. B. By using supprting examples.
C. By using time and space rder. D. By generalizatin and definitin.

F. In that case, priritize yur wellbeing and quietly cut ties withut guilt.

“Where's the rest f my paper？” thundered an angry Papa Bear, strming int the living rm. It didn't take him lng t find Brther Bear and the sprts sectin.
“I just brrwed it，” said Brther. Papa snatched it up and plumped dwn in his easy chair. Brther wandered int the kitchen lking fr sympathy frm Mama Bear. “Gee，” he said, “what's eating him？” “Yur father lks frward t his evening paper，” Mama said, “and he has a perfect right t be annyed when half f it is missing—and furthermre, thank yu nt t refer t yur father as him！”
She stmped ut f the kitchen.
“Why nt? He's a him, isn't he? Gsh，” said Brther, “what's eating her？”
What was “eating” Mama was Sister Bear. Sister had been n the phne with Lizzy Bruin fr almst an hur.
“But Mama！” she prtested when she was tld t say gdbye.
“Dn't ‘But Mama’ me！” said Mama Bear. “This is nt yur private phne. Yu've had all day t talk t Lizzy at schl, and yu'll have all day t talk t her tmrrw. S hang up that phne nw！”
Sister did as she was tld.
