It might be strange to wear clothes made out of plastic bottles. But in fact, some clothing companies are already making such clothes.
Fashion（时尚）brand JUMA recently showed its newest collection at a workshop in Shanghai. Eighteen clothing items from the collection, including jumpsuits, shirts and dresses, were made from recycled plastic bottles.
“We realized that billions of water bottles were being thrown into landfills and oceans every year and that these bottles take hundreds of years to decompose （分解）. We thought we should use them to create our clothes and help the environment,” said Alia Juma.
Many other fashion companies are finding similar ways to save our planet these days. The process is rather simple. First, the plastic bottles are washed and cut into small pieces. Then they are melted（融化）and shaped into small balls. The balls are melted again to form thread（线）. People can use the thread to make different kinds of clothes.
According to Juma, it takes 67, 000 bottles to create one ton of thread. This cuts down carbon emission（碳排放）.
“Three bottles can make one glove. Five can make a skirt, ten a dress, and twenty a short coat.”
Some people might have doubts about wearing something made out of plastic bottles. But according to Causeartist, a website that focuses on innovation（创新）, clothes made from plastics could even be better than nylon and polyester（涤纶）. Plastic thread can be made into different textures（质地）, such as cotton, silk, or even wool. It seem that this innovation may lead to a greener future of fashion.

When Xiong Chuanfa, 34, blows a lifelike tiger out of sugar in just minutes, thinking he is a magician.
Xiong has been blowing sugar figurines（吹糖人） for twenty years. Blowing sugar figurines is a Chinese traditional folk art with a history of over 600 years and has been listed as a state-level intangible cultural heritage（非物质文化遗产）.
Every morning, Xiong prepares the sugar and drives to different markets in Nanchang to star this magic show.
He heats the sugar, pulls off a little to make a ball and blows it into different shapes—a rabbit, a monkey, and even Bing Dwen Dwen, the mascot of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
However busy he is, he often spares time to drop by colleges to make young people know more about the folk art. Many college students have been drawn（吸引） to the art. Simon, a foreign student, he found it difficult to make it. Thanks to Xiong’s help, Simon finally saw a horse slowly taking shape.
Simon was deeply moved after learning about the art. “I just can’t believe the traditional folk art can be kept so well here. I love it. Chinese culture should be spread around the world,” he said.

There is nothing wrong with having an accent (口音). In fact, most native English speakers won’t care if you do. You should feel confident about your accent! But as you improve your language abilities, losing your accent might be something you’ve started to think about. And, if you’re entering the workforce in an English speaking environment, it is important to get your pronunciation to a level that native speakers can understand without difficulty. So, here, we’re looking at some tips to help you sound like a native speaker.
Speak slowly and clearly Pay close attention to getting your words out clearly and speaking slowly as you go. When your pronunciation gets better, you can speed up your speaking speed.

Learning when to exchange them can make your English sound more natural.
Use “He” and “She” correctly Make sure that you call men “he” and women “she”. If you mix them up, it can be confusing (混淆的) for your listeners and it is a giveaway that you are not a native speaker. Fall tone and rise tone fluently In English, the meaning of what you say can change based on the way you say it. Make sure to work on your falling and rising tones so that your meaning is communicated clearly.

Climate change (气候变化) has brought a serious warning to the living areas of the Siberian crane, increasing the need to better protect the birds and their migratory channels (迁徙路径), an expert said.
The Siberian crane breeds (繁殖) in northeast Siberia in Russia and flies to Poyang Lake for the winter in East China’s Jiangxi Province. About 95 percent of the birds spend the season in Poyang.
Qian Fawen, a research professor from the National Bird Banding Center of China, said that Poyang’s water levels decide whether it is suitable for the birds to live there. However, climate change has made the levels change often. “In some years, the lake experiences floods; in others, it experiences droughts. Both of these situations create food shortages in the cranes’ living area,” he said.
The Siberian crane is listed as seriously endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List. “We need to protect their living area, which is mainly wetland, so that we can protect them,” Qian said.
In the recently announced National Action Plan for the Protection of Bird Migration Channels (2021-35), 1, 140 places in China were considered as important breeding grounds, wintering grounds and staying stops, including Poyang and the Yellow River wetland in Ningxia. The plan said that the government should watch and count the number of migratory birds and pay farmers for losses caused by the birds.
Since China joined the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands in 1992, it has designated (指定) 202,600 hectares of wetland as Wetlands of International Importance. They store and clean water, keep all kinds of living things, help store floods and prevent droughts. According to a plan announced by the central government in October, by 2025, China will have protected 55 percent of its wetlands.
After the Wetlands Protection Law, the nation’s first law to protect wetlands, was introduced on June 1, 2022, complete protection was strengthened. The law clearly explained what the government should do and introduced strict punishment for people who destroy wetland areas. It limits building at important national wetlands and it doesn’t allow harmful activities, including using them as farmlands, leaving wastewater everywhere, harvesting and fishing too much.
Key nature reserve management offices in China have reported more birds wintering in the nation’s wetlands, including some new rare kinds. ▲
12．What can we learn from Paragraph 2 to Paragraph 4
A．About 95 percent of the Siberian cranes spend their winter in Poyang Lake.
B．Climate change has little influence on the Siberian cranes’ living area in Poyang.
C．The Siberian cranes will live in Poyang all year round if the wetland is protected.
D．Water levels decide that Poyang Lake isn’t suitable for the Siberian cranes to live.
13．Which of the following behaviors is right at important wetlands
①building houses ②making farmlands ③limiting fishing
④leaving wastewater ⑤watching birds
A．①③ B．②④ C．③⑤ D．②⑤
14．What does this passage mainly tell us
A．The problem the Siberian cranes face and the ways people protect wetlands.
B．The reason why the Siberian cranes migrate and the place they usually stay in.
C．The importance of protecting the Siberian cranes and the result it will lead to.
D．The loss of wetlands and the actions that have already been taken to help them.
15．What will the writer probably continue to write in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 8
A．People have done something to protect wetlands.
B．The number of the birds has increased in wetlands.
C．Experts will go on to do other research on wetlands.
D．The government will make more laws to protect wetlands.

Scientists who study happiness have evidence (证据) to show that being kind to others can result in happiness. Acts as simple as buying a cup of coffee for someone can lift a person’s mood, for example. Everyday life is full of chances for such actions, yet people do not always make the most of them.
In studies, behavioral scientist Nicholas Epley and I examined a possible explanation: people who do kind acts underestimate (低估) how much the ones receiving kindness value their behavior.
In the experiments (实验), about 1, 000 people were asked to do some actions to make someone else feel good. We asked both the person performing (执行) the kind act and the one receiving it to answer some questions. The performers were asked to report their own experience and to guess how the receivers might feel. We wanted to understand how valuable people considered these acts to be, so both the performer and receiver had to rate (评分) how “big” the act seemed. In all cases, we compared the performer’s expectations of the receiver’s mood with the receiver’s actual (实际的) experience.
For one, both performers and receivers experienced more positive (积极的) moods. For another, the receivers felt much better than the kind performers expected. The receivers also rated these acts as “bigger” than the people performing them did.
At first, we studied acts of the kindness done for familiar people, such as friends, classmates or family. But we found that performers underestimated their positive influences on strangers as well. In one experiment, performers in a public park gave away hot chocolate on a cold winter’s day to people that just happened to be nearby. Again, the kind act brought more happiness than the performers expected.
These findings suggest that what might seem small could matter a great deal to the person we do it for. Considering these warm actions can improve our own mood and brighten the day of another person, why not choose kindness when we can
16．What did the receivers do in the experiments
A．They showed kindness to others.
B．They guessed the performers’ feelings.
C．They rated how valuable the performers’ act of kindness was.
D．They compared the performers’ expectations with their actual results.
17．What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A．Different purposes of the research. B．More evidence for the research results.
C．Possible influences of the research findings. D．Another explanation of the research methods.
18．What is the writer’s attitude (态度) towards showing kindness to others
A．Supportive. B．Unclear. C．Doubtful. D．Uninterested.
19．What is the main idea of this article
A．Being kind can reduce one’s happiness as expected.
B．Kindness can have unexpectedly positive influences.
C．Choosing kindness is more difficult than expected.
D．Showing kindness is more valuable than receiving it.

Sending astronauts to Mars is a big challenge. Astronauts will have to take everything they need, including food, air and water. The room inside the spaceship is too limited to hold many things. So packing a spaceship is a huge challenge for a trip to Mars.
Six astronauts on an eight-month trip to Mars will need at least 18,000 kilograms of water for drinking and washing. They’ll also need water to protect themselves from space rays which can pass right through spaceship walls and harm astronauts’ living cells. But a layer of water placed around the ship can stop the harm.
That’s a lot of water. And sending water into space is too expensive. It costs $33,000 to send one cup of water to Mars. The more you take, the more it costs. We have the technology to get to Mars, but the problem is that it’s too expensive.
But Flynn, an engineer at NASA, thinks he has a way of solving the problem. Instead of building a heavy spaceship and packing it full of stuff (物料), why not use the stuff as part of the spaceship
Imagine a spaceship that blows up like a balloon. Inside, the walls have pockets like a big honeycomb (蜂巢). These hold lots of plastic bags filled with water, dried food and algae (水藻). All these make hard walls and great radiation (辐射) protection. And stopping radiation doesn’t influence the food or water itself—it’s safe to eat and drink. And what if the same water could be reused again and again Flynn and his team call their packed-pocket idea Water Walls.
Making oxygen and taking away CO2—the waste gas you breathe out—is another problem in space. “Water Walls will take away CO2 the same way it’s done here on our Earth—with living plants,” Flynn says. Living plants take in CO2 to make their food, and give off oxygen. “Plants are hard to grow in a spacecraft, so we use algae,” he says.
Algae are tiny plants that live in water. The algae will live in bags in the walls too, fed by human waste and sunlight, eating up CO2 and making oxygen for the astronauts to breathe.
Flynn thinks his onboard recycling system has many advantages. He hopes it will help make flying to Mars a reality very soon.
20．What does the underlined phrase “packing a spaceship” in paragraph 1 most probably mean
A．repairing things in a spaceship B．recycling things in a spaceship
C．checking things in a spaceship D．putting things into a spaceship
21．What is the advantage of Flynn’s system
A．Cost is saved. B．Travelling time is saved.
C．Plastic bags are saved. D．Food is saved.
22．What is one purpose of Flynn’s idea of Water Walls
A．To prevent space rays during the space trip. B．To make the whole spaceship stronger.
C．To control the temperature in the spaceship. D．To produce water in the spaceship.
23．Why are algae put in the plastic bags
A．To prevent water from being polluted. B．To serve as food for astronauts.
C．To provide oxygen for astronauts. D．To help other plants grow in a spaceship.

People are getting more worried about the effect (影响) of fast fashion on the environment.
Fast fashion is making clothes in large numbers at a low price. Factories make 100 billion (十亿) pieces of clothing every year. The fast fashion business is doing great harm to the environment. Many of the clothes end up in rubbish bins and are not recycled. A French scientist wrote: “Every year in Europe, four million tons of clothing ends up in the rubbish. Less than 1% of this is recycled.” Another bad effect on the environment is caused by the chemicals (化学物品) used to make clothes. These also cause health problems to people working in clothes factories.
The way people buy clothes is making the problem of clothing waste worse. Many years ago, people went to stores and tried clothes on. They spent more time and thought more carefully before buying clothes. They also wore them for longer. Today, people order cheap clothes online. And if they don’t like them, they send them back. Some people buy clothes and never ever wear them. This is leading to a throw-away society.
So next time before you buy new clothes, think carefully if you truly need them. If not, don’t buy them! Your action will make a difference to the environment.
24．Fast fashion is making ________in large numbers at a low price.
A．rubbish B．clothes C．books
25．The French scientist wrote that ________of the clothing was recycled.
A．less than 1% B．more than 10% C．about 20%
26．What’s the main idea of paragraph 3
A．The way of buying clothes causes a worse clothing waste problem.
B．Some people nowadays like to order their clothes on the Internet.
C．Some people like to buy lots of clothes but never ever wear them.
27．What does the writer want people to do
A．To be more interested in making clothes.
B．To buy clothes online instead of in stores.
C．To think twice before buying new clothes.
28．Which part of a magazine can we read the text from
A．Culture. B．Health. C．Environment.

In Pontevedra, Spain, people don’t shout. Since cars are not allowed in the city, there are no horns（喇叭）or noises from car engines. People don’t have to try hard to make themselves heard. What you hear in the street, instead, is the singing of birds.
“Listen,” says Miguel Lores, the mayor（市长）, opening the windows of his office. From the street below rises the sound of human voices. “More than 14,000 cars used to pass along this street every day. There were more cars passing through the city in a day than people living here.

Chocolate is made from the seeds (种子) of cocoa trees (可可树). The seeds come in football-shaped pods (豆荚). A pod is about 15 to 30 centimeters long, 8 to 10 centimeters wide. When you break a pod, you’ll find 20 to 60 seeds.
You take out these seeds, cover them up in banana leaves and leave them for about a week. This process is called fermentation (发酵). It is similar to the process of making yogurt. After the fermentation, you dry them, clean them, heat them and break them. Then you get something with a smell of chocolate. It is heated and separated into cocoa butter. When you mix it with milk or sometimes vegetable oil, and sugar, you get different kinds of chocolate.
Chocolate is not a good choice if you want to lose weight, but it is a good source (来源) of vitamins and minerals (矿物质). You should be careful not to eat too much because it may cause some people to have a headache. It can also cause skin problems in some people.
But recent surveys have found that chocolate helps people improve the ability to understand or remember things. It is also said that chocolate helps many people sleep better. We might have to wait for more research, but we all know that we love chocolate!

When you, as a child, first picked up a crayon, a line might have been the first mark you make. You use lines to write numbers, symbols, and the letters of the alphabet. The lines on a map help you find the best route from one place to another. You use lines to draw pictures.
▲ You can see lines in the grain (纹理) of a piece of wood or in the cracks on a sidewalk. You can see lines outside a building or in the field. Lines are used to create words, numbers, and symbols. They are also used to create art. In drawing, line is an element (要素) of art that is the path of a moving point through space.
Artists use lines to lead your eyes through a work of art. They create lines in many ways. A line can be drawn on paper with a pencil or scratched into wet clay with stick. Depending on its direction, a line can express different ideas or feelings. This is why line is an important element in the language of art.
Lines are used to express different images in Chinese calligraphic drawing. The word calligraphy means beautiful handwriting. In China, calligraphy is used to form characters (汉字) that represent the language. However, characters are more than just a letter of the alphabet. They are like pictures. They can represent an idea, an object, or a verbal sound. Calligraphic lines are usually made with brushstrokes that change from thin to thick in one stroke. To make a very thin line, artists use the tip of the brush. As you press on the brush and more of it touches the paper, the line becomes wider. (See the painting on the right, the long, flowing leaves of the orchid [兰花] plant in the rocks are made with one flowing brushstroke. )
Now practice making calligraphic lines with ink or watercolor paint. Use brushes, both thin and thick, to draw a leaf or a vegetable with lines.
41．The passage mainly talks about ________.
A．lines B．calligraphy C．paintings D．brushstrokes
42．Which of the following can be put in ▲ in Paragraph 2 as a topic sentence
A．Artists love lines. B．Paintings need lines.
C．Lines are everywhere. D．Lines can do everything.
43．Chinese calligraphic drawing is used as a(n) ________ in the passage.
A．reason B．example C．method D．opinion
44．The passage is most probably taken from a textbook of ________.
A．history B．math C．art D．science

During work hours, among the sounds of machines, the kitchen of Bach’s Bakery (面包房) is especially tidy and quiet, not because of any rules against talking during work hours, but because all of the workers have a hearing disability. They are hard-working and professional in their work, and use sign language to communicate with each other from time to time.
Bach’s Bakery lies in Changsha City, Hunan Province. It is run by a German couple, Uwe Brutzer and his wife Dorothee Brutzer, who started it up ten years ago with the purpose of creating more jobs for those disabled in the neighborhood. So far, Bach’s Bakery has trained around 30 hearing disabled people. While some skilled workers found jobs in other bakeries and hotels and have been able to live on their own, several of them have stayed to work at the bakery after they completed the training.
The Brutzers’ work has won the support of many people in China. With the spread of news about the bakery, many Internet users learned about Bach’s Bakery and its inspiring story. As a result, many local people in Changsha as well as visitors from other parts of the country come to buy their products, Uwe said that public attention has encouraged them a lot and helped grow the bakery’s business, resulting in workers getting higher pay. However, what he values more is that, through media (媒体) reports, more people have come to understand that disabled people can work as well as other people when they are given chances.
Now, as they are preparing to return to Germany, they have found a German couple teaching in China as the new managers, and handed over the bakery to a public welfare (福利) organization. Their wish is to continue providing free training for the hearing disabled and that the bakery will never be changed into a shop with moneymaking as its main goal.

“I wish I had straight hair”; “I’d like to be taller”. At times, we all want to look a bit more like someone else. However, the pictures we see on TV and social media can give us improper ideas about how our bodies “should” look. The truth is that everybody is different — and that’s a good thing. Accepting and feeling good about our bodies is really important for our self confidence (自信).
Body confidence is when someone accepts and behaves kindly towards their body. That includes our size and shape, skin color, appearance and any physical disabilities. Jade Parnell from the Centre for Appearance Research (CAR), says that having body confidence is “about being accepting of your body and what it does for you”.
If you feel positively (积极地) about your body, you are more likely to take care of it. Research has even shown that you are more likely to take part in activities and perform well in school. However, feeling agitated about your body could make you step back, do less well at school and even feel down. Parnell says that the cost of trying to achieve the “perfect” appearance is high. She says, “If you re spending a lot of time trying to look a certain way, you will have less time to spend with friends and to make important memories.”
It’s important to remember that everybody is different. To develop a positive body image, Parnell says, “Try to talk positively about your own body and other people’s bodies. Try not to pay too much attention to appearance. Instead, think about what your body does for you; do your legs make you run really fast ” She also suggests treating your body well by eating different kinds of foods, exercising to feel good and to have fun, and getting plenty of sleep. Remember that you are more than how you look.
49．The writer thinks that the pictures on TV and social media ________.
A．are perfect for people to follow B．may spread wrong ideas of looks
C．imply everyone is different D．show people how to behave kindly
50．The underlined word “agitated” probably means “________”.
A．scared B．serious C．careless D．worried
51．Parnell will agree that you should ________.
A．accept your body as it is B．avoid talking about others’ bodies
C．spend more money on your appearance D．remember what you used to be like
52．What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To encourage readers to take more exercise. B．To remind readers not to eat too much food.
C．To lead readers to build up body confidence. D．To advise readers to treat their friends well.

If you look around the room you are in right now, you’ll probably notice a number of electronics. But can you imagine if they all had to be joined together by wires (电线) Picture the wire snaking along the floor, for example, from your smartphone to your speaker, or connecting your game controller to the computer screen, meaning you could never sit more than a couple of meters away from it. A world of electronics connected by wires wouldn’t just be untidy, but a possible danger, too. That’s where Bluetooth comes in. We’ve all heard of it — but what exactly is it
Bluetooth is a method of short-distance (短距离) wireless communication between electronics that makes use of the power of radio waves. The idea was first thought of by Dr. Janp Haartsen at Swedish mobile company Ericsson in 1994. Things really stepped up in September 1998 when the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) was set up to develop and spread the technology. Bluetooth 1.0 came out in 1999, and a year later it began to be used in mobile phones and desktop computers. Now Bluetooth has become an increasingly popular way of solving the problem of more and more electronics needing to be connected. without having to connect everything together with wires.
But if you look at the remote control (温控器) you use to choose the program on TV, you might rightly ask yourself why Bluetooth was such a big deal. After all, connecting objects with infrared signals (红外信号) which can’t be seen had been done before. The problem with remote controls is that they need to keep what is called “line of sight”. If something is standing between the remote control and receiver, it won’t work. Because Bluetooth uses radio waves, the things standing in the way are no longer a problem.
Since its creation in the late 1990s, the technology has become more and more improved and widely used, with the 4 billionth Bluetooth objects shipped in 2020.
53．How does the writer lead in the topic “Bluetooth” in Paragraph 1

54．With the setting up of SIG, Bluetooth ________.
A．started to be used in cars B．made radio waves known to people
C．improved and spread quickly D．was able to connect all electronics
55．From Paragraph 3, we mainly get to know the ________ of Bluetooth.
A．development B．popularity C．standard D．advantage

Do you think only humans are crazy about electronic products You are wrong. 12 zoos in the United States and Canada have carried out (实施) a programme called Apps for Apes (大猩猩). It has found that the apes are also interested in playing iPads.
“We find that, similar to people, the apes like touching the screen and watching short videos,” said Richard Zimmerman, a manager of the programme.
The apes in these zoos can play iPads twice a week. Every time, they spend from 15 minutes to half an hour using different apps in iPads. They are most interested in apps for children, such as drawing, music and memory games.
Zimmerman said, “It’s like when we’re showing pop-up books (立体书) to children. The apes are among the most intelligent (智能的) animals, they are as clever as young children.”
The workers in the zoo are also studying how communication apps can help the apes better. “We find that an ape has a toothache. He would be able to touch a picture of a tooth on the iPad and communicate in that way,” said Zimmerman.
The programme wants to make people pay attention to the living problems of apes in the wild. The apes are in danger because people cut down too many forests.
57．How many times can the apes play iPads in a week
A．Two times. B．Three times. C．Four times.
58．Which of the following apps can make apes most interested in
A．Working. B．Shopping. C．Painting.
59．What can we learn about apes from the article
A．Apes can make pop-up books.
B．Apes are as smart as young children.
C．Apes use apps to protect themselves.
60．How does the ape communicate when it has a toothache
A．By touching the picture. B．By telling the doctor. C．By showing its nose.
61．Where is this article most probably from
A．A magazine about children. B．A magazine about animals. C．A magazine about hobbies.

March 21 is World Sleep Day. Here are some facts about sleep.
Sleep at advised times
In 2021, the Ministry of Education（MOE）advised that junior and senior high school students should go to bed before 10 pm and 11 pm respectively（分别的）.
How do astronauts sleep
Just like on Earth, a person in space goes to bed at night and then wakes up the next day. But in space there is no up or down, and you do not feel the pull of gravity（重力）. As a result, astronauts usually sleep in fixed sleeping bags.
Earworms happen while sleeping
Some people enjoy listening to music a lot. While we’re awake, the music we know well keeps ringing in our ears, which is called earworms（耳虫现象）. This can happen during sleep as well, which could cause problems in getting to sleep and staying asleep.
Sleep with your pet
Pets, like dogs and cats, do not sleep continuously and they will often get up and walk on the bed, which can make you sleep even worse.
But recent studies found that having pets in the bed may help people who are often worried. The pets, like soft toys, can help cut down their worry.
Socks can help us sleep
Studies have shown that wearing socks to bed can help you fall asleep faster!
Hands and feet help exchange（交换）heat between the far ends of the body and the heart. Wearing socks means an increase of blood to your hands and feet, which cuts down your core（核心的）body temperature. The lower the core body temperature is, the faster you fall asleep.
62．According to MOE, junior high school students should _________.
A．go to bed before 10 pm B．go to bed before 11 pm
C．sleep at least 10 hours a day D．sleep at least 11 hours a day
63．Why do astronauts sleep in fixed sleeping bags
A．Because there is no bed in the space station. B．Because there is no pull of gravity in space.
C．Because sleeping bags are comfortable. D．Because the spaceship is too small.
64．According to the passage, earworms can ________.
A．be bad for sleep quality B．improve music ability
C．help people fall asleep quickly D．appear only during the day
65．How does wearing socks help us sleep
A．By making feet warmer than hands. B．By increasing blood to hands and feet.
C．By making core body temperature higher. D．By exchanging heat between hands and feet.
66．Which of the following statements about sleep is true according to the passage
A．World Sleep Day falls in the fifth month each year.
B．The sleeping bag is the best choice for sleep.
C．Sleeping with pets helps worried people.
D．Music can help people sleep longer.

China will have 75 percent of its wild animals on land under the national key protection system by 2025, the National Forestry and Grassland Administration（国家林业和草原局）said. Its announcement took place on Sunday, which happened to be the International Day for Biological Diversity（多样性）.
The administration said that part of China’s achievements in protecting wild animals lie in setting wild animals into nature reserves（保护区）after human breeding（繁殖）. It said that nine milu deer（麋鹿）recently came into the world in the Daqingshan National Nature Reserve in Inner Mongolia. They are babies of the milu deer, or Pere David’s deer, who were set into the wild in September following human breeding in Beijing and Jiangsu province.
According to the administration, human breeding has helped to increase the population of some animal kinds that had before disappeared in the wild, such as milu deer and Przewalski’s horses. There are now around 10,000 milu deer and around 700 Przewalski’s horses. As for other wild populations, the giant panda population has increased from 1,114 in the 1980s to 1,864. The number of wild Asian elephants has increased from about 180 to 300 over the same period.
The administration plans to improve the protection of wild animals—including giant pandas, Siberian tigers, Asian elephants, and snow leopards.
At the same time, the government has made more efforts to punish unlawful trading in wildlife, which also helps with the increase of wild animals.
67．How many kinds of wild animals are mentioned in the passage
A．5. B．6. C．7. D．8.
68．What was the population of wild Asian elephants in the 1980s

For years, it has been said that newspapers are at death’s door. Each of the past few years has seen many newspapers say goodbye to their readers. But why is the situation so terrible for newspapers
Newspapers have a long history. The first newspaper was printed in the 1600s. The industry experienced its most successful time in the early 20th century.
With the appearance of radio and TV, however, newspaper circulation（发行量）began to fall. By the mid-20 century, radio and TV had become so popular that people no longer had to depend on newspapers for news. This was especially true for the latest news.
Afternoon newspapers were the first to suffer. More and more people coming home from work turned on the TV, instead of opening a newspaper. But generally, newspapers still managed to survive（生存）. Although they couldn’t compete with TV in spreading the latest news, they could provide in-depth reports that TV news could not.
But newspapers suffered another heavier blow in the 1990s. With the appearance of the Internet, lots of information became free. Many newspaper readers realized that they could conveniently read news online for free. There seemed to be little reason any longer for them to pay for a newspaper.
So what will the future of newspapers be like Will newspapers die Maybe not. Many newspapers are now changing. Some are going digital（数字化的）. Some are going even farther by taking the industry to places it has never been to. After all, people still want the news. And many agree that newspapers are important for in-depth news and opinions. If newspapers were to completely disappear, there would be nothing to take their place.
72．When was the first newspaper printed
A．In the 1600s. B．In the 1900s.
C．In the early 20th century. D．In the mid-20th century.

A．By going digital. B．By working with TV.
C．By including more pictures. D．By focusing on in-depth reports.
74．Newspapers suffered again in the 1990s because ________.
A．people lost interest in reading news B．newspapers became more expensive
C．TV started to focus on in-depth news D．people could read news online for free
75．Which of the following would the writer most likely agree with

Do you have difficulty falling asleep at night If so, here is a piece of advice for you: Listen to some soft music.
Scientists have found that soft music can help to improve sleep quality and quantity（量）. This works for sleepers of all ages, and even for those with sleeping problems. Soft music can help us fall asleep better, wake up less during the night and feel more relaxed in the morning. You may not notice the effects（功效）overnight, though. It could take as many as 3 weeks to see any improvements.
Why can soft music help us sleep better The reasons aren’t clear yet. It may connect with the relaxing effect of a good song. Music can have real physical effects, too. Soft music can lower our heart rate（心率）and slow down our breathing. This prepares us for sleep.
Scientists say that for most people, music that has 70 beats（节拍）per minute（bpm）works best. Classical, jazz and folk music are usually more effective than other musical styles. Familiar songs work well, too. You may need to test to make your own playlists. If you are not sure how many beats a song has in a minute, you can find out by entering its title into . And remember to get volume（音量）right. Make sure that the final piece is gradually slowing down. Or you may be woken up by the sudden silence.

Students attend a science lesson given by astronauts on board China’s Tiangong space station on Wednesday, March 23, 2022. Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu, the members of the Shenzhou XIII, which was launched (发射) on October 16, appear on television screens watched by millions of students across China.
During the 41-minute lesson, the astronauts did four experiments to show physical phenomena(现象) only possible in a weightless environment, such as “liquid crystallization” and “a water bridge”. In one experiment, Wang used a toy of Bing Dwen Dwen, the mascot of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games, to show how objects fly in Tiangong. They invited the young viewers to do similar experiments to see the differences between space and land environments.
Before closing the lesson, the astronauts answered questions from students. The questions covered the life and work in space, such as how to take care of the skin and whether hot water was available.
Wednesday’s event marked the third time Wang had taken part in a space lesson. In June 2013, she gave the nation’s first space lesson to over 60 million Chinese students in Shenzhou X. It made China the second country, following the United States, to have given a lesson to schoolchildren from space.
In early December, Wang gave the country’s second space lesson from the Tiangong station. The astronauts showed viewers how they lived and worked inside the space station.

A tree has roots. People have roots too. If you get to the root of a problem, you will solve it. It’s the same thing with words. Dig deeply into a big, unfamiliar word and you will understand where it came from.
As readers, especially those reading in a second language, we need to deal with the text as if we were detectives (侦探) looking for information to unlock the unknown. Like any good detective arriving on the crime scene, the first thing to do when meeting a new and difficult word is to judge the situation, to look at everything that is known and see if it helps us to understand what it means.
As you know, prefixes (前缀) and suffixes (后缀) can be added to the beginning or end of words to change the meaning. Know them, and you will have the word building power. But root words are the key. Take time to learn a few of these, put them in your memory, and you will become a master word detective.
Let’s look at one common root word used in English. “Alter” from the Latin word means “other”. When you meet this root word, you know that the bigger word has something to do with “other”. Examine the word “alternate”. Can you find the Latin root in it
·If you and your friend like to eat out, first you pay and the other pays the next time. You are alternating paying. ·If you go to the movies on alternate Saturdays, you go on one Saturday, but not the other Saturday. ·If you have no alternative, you have no other choice.
Learn as many root words as possible in the language you are studying. Then use your “rooting for words” skills. Like any new skill, practice and hard work are always paid back.

Have you ever thought of what life is like for old people Have you ever helped old people who live alone Can they get help when they need it
Six students from Beijing 101 Middle School looked deeper at this question and wrote a proposal (提案) to the China Youth Model Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (全国青少年模拟政协活动). They advised to build more old people’s service stations in the neighborhood. They also gave suggestions about how governments, neighborhoods and hospitals can work together to make this happen.
An old people’s service station is different from a nursing home. It offers things like daytime care, cooking, cleaning and friendship to old people who live in their own homes. The students surveyed more than 1,100 people, about 90 percent of them said they would prefer using the stations’ services to moving into a nursing home. However, there are not enough of these stations, and many are not run very well.
The six students came up with a solution after reading more than 60 surveys, interviewing 108 people and visiting 25 different organizations. Their proposal beat out almost 100 others to win the Best Proposal award (奖项) in 2021.
“This experience helps me to better understand the importance of caring old people. Also I see the light and abilities in us,” said Xu Wanqing, one of the students.
“Taking part in the China Youth Model CPPCC has been good for students,” agreed their teacher Li Jie. “They’ve developed a sense of caring old people, as well as gotten more confidence about themselves since they’ve seen how much they can do for others.”

Chinese movies have become one of the favorites among the youth in Malawi. Because lots of Chinese movies are available in the country, many people can now enjoy them in video show halls, homes and through the Internet.
Luis Ndalama, 38, is a businessman who has been doing a videodisc（影碟）business for over 15 years. He told Xinhua Agency his customers have been watching Chinese movies for a long time. However, because they didn’t understand Chinese, many of them used to have difficulties in following the movies. “But with time, we have seen many Chinese movies with subtitles（字幕）, and this helps many of my customers to understand them even better because the Chinese language is new to most of us,” Ndalama said.
In an interview with Xinhua, many young people were able to explain things they learned from movies about China. “It’s always fun watching Chinese movies. At first it was very hard to understand them because everything about them and us was different in terms of language, food, dressing, dances and many other cultural values.

The careful use of lecture videos could help people study more efficiently（高效地）, say researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles （UCLA）.
According to a new study, watching lecture videos at twice the normal speed has almost no bad effect on learning. Even better, watching lecture videos at an increased speed more than once may even lead to improved learning and higher test scores compared to watching once at normal speed.
The study, done by UCLA’s Department of Psychology, put students into groups and asked them to watch lecture videos at different speeds without taking notes. The students then took tests based on the video content.
The test results showed little difference in scores between students who watched the videos at normal speed and those who watched at up to double speed—meaning students could halve（减半）their study time with little effect on learning.
But students shouldn’t speed up too much—because students who watched the videos at two-and-a-half times the normal speed had lower test results.
It was also found that watching the videos twice at double speed—both one week before the test and again immediately before it—produced higher test scores compared to students who watched the videos just once at normal speed.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many countries have used some types of remote（远程的）learning, including video lessons. And while students and teachers have worried about the effects of remote learning, the UCLA study suggests that, if used the right way, video lectures could actually help make studying more efficient.

Scientists are looking for ways that we can effectively use the light and heat from the sun. One idea that has caught their imagination is solar roads. They are expected to produce clean and renewable energy.
With solar panels on the surfaces, solar roads cost more than traditional roads. However, besides the functions of traditional roods, they have the panels to receive sunlight and change it into the energy to supply power to homes, factories and street lighting. There are four layers in a solar panel:
Base layer: It is made of insulation material and forms a good grip with the road below this layer.
Middle layer: This is the most important layer. It holds all kinds of power lines connecting all the solar parts in the panel, like LED lights and the heating system.
Top layer: This layer is super-strong glass. It allows the panel to hold the weight of the heaviest vehicles.
Capping: This is the topmost layer used to offer extra protection to the solar parts in the panel. The layer must be rough enough to provide the traction for the safety of vehicles.
With the smart design, solar roads can successfully charge the vehicles on them. And the roads have inbuilt LED lights to replace the traditional rood signs and lines, which are usually painted and harmful to humans. What’s more, the heating systems in the solar roads can take care of the snow and ice on the roads for drivers.
Test solar roads have been built in several countries (France, China, USA, etc.) since 2014. The first word solar road project, Metrics of Watt Way in France, was set up by a French company called Construction Colas. It was an example of low effectiveness. In the first year, it had been expected to produce around 767 kWh of energy a day, but it only produced 409 kWh. Even so, the production could increase with design improvements. Of course, more time is needed before this technology is put into use.
Solar roads may not be widely used in the near future, but they are indeed great for an environment-friendly and energy-saving world.

When Xiong Chuanfa, 34, blows a lifelike tiger out of sugar in just minutes, kids look at him in surprise thinking he is a magician.
Xiong has been blowing sugar figurines (吹糖人) for over twenty years. Blowing sugar figurines is a Chinese traditional folk (民间) art with a history of over 600 years and has been listed as a state-level intangible cultural heritage.
Every morning, Xiong prepares the sugar and drives to different markets in Nanchang to start his magic show.
He heats (加热) the sugar, pulls off a little to make a ball and blows it into different shapes — a rabbit, a monkey, and even Bing Dwen Dwen, the mascot of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
People, especially little kids, are interested in his skills. ________, he also stops by colleges.
Many college students have been drawn to the art, waiting in line for hands-on experience. Among them, Simon, a foreign student, couldn’t help having a try. Though it looked easy, he found it difficult to make it. Thanks to Xiong’s help. Simon finally saw a horse slowly taking shape.
Simon was deeply moved after learning about the art. “I just can’t believe the traditional folk art can be kept so well here. I love it. Chinese culture should be spread around the world,” he said.
This art has been passed down for four generations (代) in Xiong’s family. His 6-year-old son often blows sugar balloons, just like what he used to do as a child.
