It doesn't look like a school, but it is green. Everything in the school is made of bamboo. The classrooms have no walls or doors. The teachers write on the bamboo blackboard. The desks are not square. Everything is so beautiful.At school, there is a library, a computer room, a few teachers’ offices and some classrooms. Children learn usual subjects, such as reading, writing and Maths. They also learn how to grow vegetables in the school’s vegetable garden. There is a swimming pool for the kids to play in.

In the study, the 4 to 5-year-old children were divided into three groups. One group received a 45-minute piano lesson three times a week, while another received extra reading instruction(授课) lessons. The third group took no extra lessons.The lessons lasted for six months. Then the children were tested on their abilities of discriminate (辨别) words based on differences in tone and so on. The test results showed that the children who had taken piano lessons performed better at discriminating between words, when compared with the children taking extra reading lessons. But both groups did better than the third group.The researchers think that the musical education helped these children perform better in language tests, even better than the kids taking extra reading lessons. This should make educators pay close attention. “That means if schools spend more time and energy on music education, there will be an improvement in children’s studies.” Desimone said.Nowadays, many schools give extra reading to kids instead of the arts education. In fact, giving children music lessons is no worse than extra reading.39．Where was Robert Desimone from?A．China.B．Germany.C．A primary school.D．MIT.40．How many groups of children took part in the study?A．74.B．45.C．2.D．3.41．Which of the following statements is TRUE?B．The third group performed best in discriminating words.C．The researchers think that reading helped the children perform better in the tests.D．The researchers think schools should add more music class instead of extra reading class.42．According to the passage, what lessons should be paid more attention to in schools?A．Reading.B．Art.C．PE.D．Science.DPaper-cutting is one of the traditional folk arts(民间传统艺术) in China. It has a long history of about 1,500 years. Artists use paper, scissors and knives to make paper-cuttings. People find happiness and luck in paper-cuttings. In Spring Festival, they paste paper-cuttings like “Fu” on windows to bring good luck for the new year. And parents may paste “Xi” inside the houses when their sons or daughters get married.In many places, the paper-cuttings are red. In old times, people worked on the farm and respected the sun. Red is the colour of the sun. They see red as the symbol of hope and life. Now, you can see red everywhere in China, the walls of old palaces, lanterns, weddings and so on.Do you know some of the paper-cuttings are black in Shanzhou? Shanzhou is in Henan province(省). Thepaper-cuttings there are black. Black is the best colour there. Since Shanzhou is a dry place, people make blackpaper-cuttings and wish for rain.Moreover, paper-cuttings are colourful in Y uxian(蔚县), Hebei province. Artists put five pieces of paper-cuttings together. They just paint the first piece with brushes. And the colour goes through. Soon a beautiful paper-cutting is made. 43．The underlined word “symbol” means “________” in Chinese.A．象征B．暗示C．出现D．记录44．Why people in Shanzhou make black paper-cuttings?A．Because they see it as the symbol of hope.B．Because black is their favourite colour.C．Because they wish for rain.D．Because they think black is lucky.45．Which of the following isn’t mentioned in the passage?A．Red paper-cuttings.B．Green paper-cuttings.C．Black paper-cuttings.D．Colourful paper-cuttings.46．What may the writer continue to talk in paragraph 5?B．When do people paste paper-cuttings.C．Paper-cutting museums around us.D．How do people in Yuxian make paper-cuttings.EIn many, even most space -themed movies, whenever Earth faces a disaster, the solution is always fleeing (逃出) the planet in spaceships.But the latest Chinese science-fiction movie, The Wandering Earth (流浪地球), offers a different and more special idea to audiences.The movie is based on a short story by Chinese sci-fi writer Liu Cixin. In the movie, Earth is in danger of being destroyed by the dying sun. In order to save it, humans around the world work together to build a giant engine system that will push Earth away from the sun. Instead of leaving Earth again this time we’re taking it with us.This “ambition” didn’t come nowhere. For thousands of years, “homeland” has had a soft spot in the hearts and minds of Chinese people. One old idiom is “Luoye Guigen”, which means returning to one’s homeland in old age, like fallen leaves returning to the roots of their tree. This special cultural background probably shows The Wandering Earth is different from Hollywood-style space movies.“What is Chinese sci-fi?” Guo Fan, the film’s director, said in an interview. “A vehicle (方式) that can really express our cultural and spiritual core can be called Chinese sci-fi. Or we’re just imitating (模仿) others and telling the same American stories.”And the makers of The Wandering Earth may have chosen the best time to tell its Chinese sci-fi story. The movie was on show on Feb.5, the first day of Chinese New Year. It was a time when many people had just made the hard journey back to their hometowns.So to them, there is only one possible way to tell the story: Earth goes wherever humans go, because it’s our home. 47．What’s the solution in most space-themed movies when Earth faces a disaster?A．People usually stay with the Earth.B．People usually fight for the Earth.C．The Earth usually becomes a better place.D．People usually escape from the Earth.48．Paragraph 4 mainly explains that ________.A．the movie The Wandering Earth shows special cultural background “homeland”B．the movie The Wandering Earth shows the Chinese great ambitionC．most Chinese people especially prefer the traditional Chinese culture1．C【详解】句意：——祝贺！——谢谢。
