Then she asked, “Where do you live, Grandma?”“ I have no house, madam,” said the old woman, “I have to sleep outside at night in these cold days in winter.”“How old are you?”“ Ninety-two.”Mrs. Li became sorry and went on asking, “ Why not live in the old people’s house?”“ Because I have a son,” Said the old woman. “ They’re never admitted(允许) a person who had children.”“ Where is your son, then?”“ He has no children, so he could live in the old people’s house.

Some of the greatest men in history have thought about this problem. One of them, for example, was the great Italian artist, Leonardo da Vinci(达·芬奇. In the sixteenth century he made designs for machines that could fly. But they were never built. Throughout history, other less famous men have wanted to fly. An example was a man in England800 years ago. He made a pair of wings(翅膀) from chicken feathers. Then he fixed(固定) them to his body and jumped into the air from a tall building. He did not fly very far. He fell to the ground and broke every bone(骨头) in his body.The first real step took place in France in 1783. Two brothers, the Mongolfiers, made a very large “hot air balloon(气球)”. They knew that hot air rises. Why not fill a balloon with it? The balloon was made of cloth and paper. In September of that year, the King and the Queen of France came to see the balloon. They watched it carry the very first trip. But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and that the animals landed safety. Two months later, two men did the same thing. They rose above in a balloon of the same kind. The trip lasted 25 minutes and they traveled about eight kilometers.49. Leonardo da Vinci _____.A. said the human beings would fly in the sky one dayB. built a kind of machine which never flewC. drew many beautiful pictures of flying birdsD. made designs of flying machines50. Eight hundred years ago, an Englishman _____.A. made a kind of flying machineB. tried to fly with wings made of chicken feathersC. wanted to build a kind of balloonD. tried to fly on a large bird51. In fact, the Englishman who tried to fly _____.A. lost his lifeB. flew only eight minutesC. got badly woundedD. succeeded in flying52. The two Frenchmen rose above Paris in _____.A. December, 1783B. September, 1783C. November, 1783D. the seventeenth century( C ) Some ants(蚂蚁) make their homes under a big stone. If the weather is warm, you may see many ants under the stone. If the weather is cold, many ants will be in their houses under the ground. Most of the ants are workers. They are very busy. They gather food, care for the young ants. But they must have a queen ant. The queen ant doesn’t work. The queen is important because she lays the eggs(产卵). The eggs will become new baby ants. You can recognize(辨认) the queen because she is bigger than any other ant.If you can’t find ants under a stone, look for an ant nest around a small hole in the ground. You may dig quite deep to get the ants.53. If you see many ants under the stone you will know that ____.A. they are fightingB. the weather is warmC. the weather is coldD. they are dancing54. ____ is the most important in an ant’s family.A. The young antsB. The worker antsC. The queen antD. The old ants55. You can recognize the queen ant easily because _____.

This is because a part of your brain deals with both emotions and memories. The brain wants us to remember what makes us so sad or happy. So next time you want to remember some knowledge, try to get yourself excited or angry. Then, just take out your book to learn new things!Exercise hardScientists asked people to either ride a bike slowly for 90 minutes or do it really fast for 6 minutes. It showed that short but hard exercises can help remember things quickly.

The skin near our fingersisn’t so oily (油的) as the rest areas of our skin. Winter weather is usually dry, which takes away the little oil we have. When the skin is really dry, it becomes harder, giving us those painful hangnails.Not having enough vitamins can play a part in having hangnails, ▲ . Still, it’s good to have foods rich in vitamins A and B, such as carrots, eggs, and fish, as Beijing Youth Daily suggests.Don’t pull hangnails—it hurts, and it can make things worse by doing harm to your skin and causing more hangnails. Instead, you can put your hand in warm water for a few minutes and then cut the hangnails with nail scissors.

Next summer, the fifth World Tree Hugging Games will happen in Finland. In this game, people do three things: first, hug as many trees as possible in one minute, with each hug lasting at least five seconds. Second, give a whole-hearted hug to one tree for one minute, showing care, love, and respect. Third, people must creatively hug a tree for one minute. Then, the judges will decide the winner.It might sound strange, but the game has a serious meaning: to help people connect with nature and save the forest from being cut down. “At first, people thought it was silly,” Riitta,the owner of a forest said, “but not in a bad way. Finns like to do unusual things and not be too serious, especially in the countryside and forest.”In a recent survey, over 80% said the forest is important to them. Finland is heavily covered in forests, with over 70% of its land being forested.What makes the tree-hugging program work well is that it’s not just about saving the forest; it also gives a good feeling to the visitors, like a hug does. “I enjoy taking people into the forest and seeing the change in them. The trees don’t judge them-they can be who they are,” said Ritta.18．How long does the World Tree Hugging Games last?A．5 seconds.B．1 minute.C．3 minutes.D．5 minutes. 19．Why are the World Tree Hugging Games held?A．To invite people to show love.B．To encourage people to exercise.C．To help people get close to nature.D．To get people to learn more about trees. 20．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?A．The game.B．The forest.C．The visitor.D．The country. 21．What can we learn from the passage?A．A small part of Finland is forested.B．Riitta is the first winner of the game.C．The hugging game is held in winter.D．Many Finns care much about forests.Travel is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you are going to get when using a mystery (神秘) box plane ticket.Earlier this year, many young people in China have become interested in mystery box travel. Usually, people plan their journeys well ahead. But with a mystery box, travelers pay a low price, usually 100 or 200 yuan. Then, they will choose their leaving airport and have a list of destinations (目的地) to choose from. Once the destination is decided, their trip begins.A young man called Cheng dreams of going on a mystery box trip, saying that going out alone usually costs too much and that too many people don’t know where to go. But the mystery box directly shows a few destinations, making it both exciting and affordable.Unlike Cheng, Liao Liangyu, 16, has made his dream to go on a mystery box trip come true. He and his friends bought mystery box tickets months ago, and they all got the mystery box ticket to Changsha, the capital city of Hunan province.Since the destinations include many less popular cities, travel mystery boxes also bringmany advantages to these destinations. For example, Dehong City in Yunnan province wasn’t well-known, but after being in mystery box choices, it got attention and became a popular tourist place.22．What does Cheng think of traveling alone?A．Lonely.B．Exciting.C．Expensive.D．Interesting. 23．How did Liao Liangyu choose Changsha as his travel destination?A．By pointing to the map.B．By following his friend’s advice.C．By planning well ahead.D．By picking from a list of choices. 24．What changes does mystery box travel bring to Dehong?A．More travelers.B．Better jobs.C．Less pollution.D．Cheaper food. 25．Which is a suitable title for the text?A．Beautiful Boxes: The Rise of Mystery Box Travel Among Chinese Youth.B．Colorful Dreams: The Rise of Mystery Box Travel Among Chinese Youth.C．Expensive Travels: The Rise of Mystery Box Travel Among Chinese Youth.D．Unknown Journeys: The Rise of Mystery Box Travel Among Chinese Youth.三、选词填空用方框中所给词语的适当形式填空，每词限用一次。
