根据短文内容，判断正误（正确“T”，错误“F”）。
Tie-dyeing (扎染) is a traditional way of dyeing in Southwest China, mainly practiced by people in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. It dates back to the 3rd to 4th century in China and is still used today. In 2006, it was recognized (认可) as a national intangible cultural heritage.
Zhoucheng Village a big village in Dali, Yunnan Province, is famous for tie-dyeing. Due to its fine workmanship, Zhoucheng has become a main producing place of the tie-dyed cloth and is known as “The Land of National Tie-dye”.
Tie-dyeing is a skill for creating patterns on the cloth. As its name suggests, the main steps of tie-dyeing include “tie” and “dye’. First, the cloth is folded according to the patterns. Then, it is tied tight (紧紧地) with string (绳子) to make knots. When the cloth is put into the dye, the tied parts keep their own colours, while the untied parts soak up (收) the dye. The tighter the knots are tied, the clearer the patterns will be.
Usually, the main colours of the tie-dyeing are white and blue, with the white colour for the patterns and the blue for the background. The mix of blue and white looks simple but beautiful. People like to use plants like Ban Lan Gen to make the dye. This dye is natural, good for the skin and gives a special blue-green colour that stays bright for a long time.
21. Tie-dyeing is mainly practiced by people in Yunnan province.
22. Zhoucheng Village is known as “The Land of National Tie-dye”.
23. The skill of tie-dyeing has two main steps: “tie” and “dye”.
24. People like to use plants to make the dye because they’re cheap.
25. The passage mainly talks about the history of tie-dyeing.

Sharwood the dog is a life saver. He has saved the lives of hundreds of dogs through his blood donations (献血).
With the help of his loving and proud owner Sue Mitchell from the UK, he earned (获得) the world record for most times to give blood by a dog. By July 2024, he had given blood to charity Pet Blood Bank UK 40 times—and he’s done it twice more since then! Sue said: “So many people don’t know that dogs can donate blood, maybe 3 in 50 people that I meet might have heard about it.”

There are rules about which dogs can donate blood. They have to be between certain ages and over a certain weight, and of course, they have to be fit and healthy.
Sue’s blood donor dogs are all so relaxed while giving blood. Sharwood even wags his tail and often falls asleep. After donating, they are showered with love and affection and given toys and treats. They need to rest and drink plenty of water afterwards to recover (恢复) and produce new blood.

The Republic of the Marshall Island (RMI) is a small country in the Pacific Ocean, near Hawaii and the Philippines. It has 5 main islands, 29 large atolls (环形珊瑚岛), and more than 1,000 small islands. One of its most famous atolls is Bikini Atoll.
In 2024, the RMI created a new Marine Protected Area (MPA) covering 18,500 square miles (48,000 square kilometers) of ocean, larger than countries like Denmark or Sweden. Fishing is banned in this area to protect marine (海洋的) life. The MPA includes two faraway atolls, Bikar and Bokak, where no people live. Because they are so far away, the surrounding oceans remain in excellent condition.
In 2023, scientists from National Geographic and local experts studied the area. They dived (潜水) underwater 452 times and spent over 640 hours exploring. They found more fish species here than in any other Pacific reef. The MPA is full of life, including deep-sea sharks, giant clams, and maybe even unknown creatures. It’s also home to the largest group of green turtles in the Marshall Islands and many seabirds.
The RMI government says protecting this area will help not just local sea life but also fishermen and communities that depend on the ocean. Glen Joseph, a leader in protecting the islands’ waters, stressed the importance of the ocean, saying, “The ocean is our life. Our future depends on protecting our ocean.”
This new protected area is a big step toward saving the area’s wildlife and ensuring a healthy ocean for future generations.
36. How does the writer start the passage
A. By giving facts. B. By asking questions.
C. By telling stories. D. By showing opinions.
37. What does the underlined word “banned” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Not allowed. B. Not chosen. C. Not controlled. D. Not marked.
38. Why does nobody live on Bikar and Bokak atolls
A They are seriously polluted by plastic waste.
B. They are too far away for people to live there.
C. The government stops people from living there.
D. There is not enough fresh water there.
39. What animals are mentioned as living in the MPA
①Deep-sea sharks. ②Green turtles. ③Seabirds. ④Blue whales.
A. ①②④ B. ①③④ C. ①②③ D. ②③④
40. What can we know from this passage
A. It is difficult to create an MPA.
B It is useful to learn about marine life.
C. It is important to protect the ocean.
D. It is interesting to dive near the Marshall Islands.

How to Solve My Problem
As an eighth-grader, I once faced a big problem with my English pronunciation. It was difficult for me to pronounce words correctly, which made me shy to speak English in class.
To solve it, I listened to English tapes every day and repeated the words carefully. I also imitated the speakers’ intonation. Besides, I joined an English corner.
After continuous efforts, my pronunciation improved a lot. I’m no longer afraid to speak English. I feel really proud of myself. Solving this problem taught me that as long as we keep trying, we can overcome difficulties.
