I have always been fascinated by the animal world. Recently, I read a novel about
animals called A Lion’s Traveling. Chinese writer Shen Shixi wrote it.
The book tells the story of five male lions. They are driven out of their home and
begin their adventure (冒险). Unluckily, one is hurt by a giraffe. Another is killed by a
hunter. The third one dies during a fight for water with a rhino. The fourth lion drowns
(淹死). Only the youngest one, named Red Ribbon, is still alive. After going through
many difficulties, he finally becomes the lion king.
The story shows the love and care between friends, the life and death faced by
brothers, the determination to deal with challenges, and the love for life. The fact that
the young lion finally becomes the king teaches me a great lesson: Those who cannot defeat (打败) you will
make you stronger. Everyone will face lots of difficulties during their lifetime. We should learn to stay strong
and continue to find our better selves.
The book is filled with exciting details about the life of lions. Together with vivid pictures, it gives
readers an immersive (沉浸的) experience. You can not only read the great story but also learn a lot about
the animals in the real world. I highly recommend it!
44．What is A Lion’s Traveling mainly about
A．How to survive in the wild. B．How to be a lion king.
C．The adventures of five lions. D．The fights among lions.
45．How does the fourth lion die in the book
A．It dies in a fight for water. B．It is killed by a hunter.
C．It is killed by a giraffe. D．It drowns.
46．What has the writer learned from the book
A．What brings passion to life.
B．We should face up to difficulties and be better selves.
{#{QQABBYIQgggoABIAABgCQQV4CgMQkBACAKoGwAAEMAIBAAFABAA=}#}
C．We should defeat people who challenge us.
D．How to make friends.
47．Why does the writer recommend this book
A．Because it has great pictures drawn by famous painters.
B．Because it tells people how to protect animals and the environment.
C．Because it teaches readers lots of scientific knowledge.
D．Because it offers a good reading experience with vivid pictures.
C
Can you find anything strange about the cat on the left
In 1961, a man found a strange cat on his farm in Scotland. The cat’s ears
were folded (折着的), bent (弯曲) forward, on its head. In fact, this was a new
kind of cat. People named it the “Scottish Fold”.
The Scottish Fold has a round head and big eyes. Its neck and legs are short.
They make it look very lovely. Interestingly, all the Scottish Folds are born with
straight and unfolded ears. And when they are growing up day by day, some cats’ ears will begin to fold. So,
the Scottish Fold comes in two types: folded ears and straight ears.
There is a nickname (昵称) for the Scottish Fold. It is the “Messenger (信使) of Peace”. Why Because
the Folds are sweet and friendly animals. They can get along well with other cats. And unlike some other
cats, they can even get along well with dogs! In many different places, for example, at a noisy house or in a
cat show, you can see them playing with other animals happily.
Well, when you come to a new school, do you think it’s difficult to feel comfortable in the new place
Perhaps you can learn from the Scottish Fold, which is always sweet and friendly to others.
48．What does the Scottish Fold look like
A．It has no ears. B．It has a round head and big eyes.
C．It doesn’t look very lovely. D．Its neck and legs are long.
49．What does “get along well” mean in Chinese
A．友好相处 B．互相打击 C．互相促进 D．进展顺利
50．Why do people name the Folds “Messenger of Peace”
A．Because their ears are folded.
B．Because they look very cute.
C．Because they can get on well with other animals.
D．Because they can stay at a noisy house or in a cat show.
51．According to the passage, what is the writer’s advice to us when we are in a new environment
A．We should have a nickname. B．We should learn from the dogs.
C．We should get along well with cats. D．We should always be sweet and friendly to others.
D
It was December and the snow was falling quietly outside. The four March sisters were sitting around
the fire in the parlor. They were knitting socks for soldiers (士兵). There was a war and everyone had to help.
Meg was the oldest of the four sisters. She was sixteen. Jo was fifteen. Beth was thirteen. The youngest,
Amy, looked like a snow princess with her blue eyes and blonde hair.
“Christmas isn’t Christmas without any presents,” Jo said sadly.
“I hate being poor!” Meg said, looking at her old dress.
“Some girls have lots of nice things, and other girls have nothing at all,” said Amy. “I don’t think it’s
fair (公平).”
“But we’ve got Father and Mother, and each other,” said Beth.
The four sisters looked happy for a moment when they remembered this.
Then Jo said, “But we haven’t got Father.”
Their smiles suddenly disappeared. Mr March was far away with the soldiers.
{#{QQABBYIQgggoABIAABgCQQV4CgMQkBACAKoGwAAEMAIBAAFABAA=}#}
“Mother says our men are suffering (遭受) and we mustn’t spend money for joy,” Meg said. “That’s
why we can’t have presents this year.”
“Well, each of us has a dollar to spend,” said Jo. “What can the army do with four dollars Nothing! I
don’t expect anything from Mother but I’d like to buy a book for myself.” Jo often read and she had a passion
for books.
“I want to spend mine on some new music,” said Beth. She played the piano and she loved singing.
“I’m going to buy a box of drawing pencils. I really need them,” said Amy. She wanted to be an artist.
“Mother didn’t say anything about spending our own money,” cried Jo. “We work hard for it, so let’s
buy what we want and have a little fun.”
.......
Just then the clock struck six. Beth got up and put her mother’s slippers near the fire to warm.
“Those slippers are very old,” said Jo, “Mother needs some new ones.”
“I can buy a pair for her with my dollar,” said Beth.
“No, it’s my job,” said Jo, “Father told me to take care of Mother while he was away.”
“I have an idea,” said Beth. “Let’s not spend our money on ourselves. Let’s get some presents for Mother.”
Her sisters thought that this was a very good idea.
— Adapted from Little Women

I have always been fascinated by the animal world. Recently, I read a novel about animals called A Lion’s Traveling. Chinese writer Shen Shixi wrote it.
The book tells the story of five male lions. They are driven out of their home and begin their adventure (冒险). Unluckily, one is hurt by a giraffe. Another is killed by a hunter. The third one dies during a fight for water with a rhino. The fourth lion drowns (淹死). Only the youngest one, named Red Ribbon, is still alive. After going through many difficulties, he finally becomes the lion king.
The story shows the love and care between friends, the life and death faced by brothers, the determination to deal with challenges, and the love for life. The fact that the young lion finally becomes the king teaches me a great lesson: Those who cannot defeat (打败) you will make you stronger. Everyone will face lots of difficulties during their lifetime. We should learn to stay strong and continue to find our better selves.
The book is filled with exciting details about the life of lions. Together with vivid pictures, it gives readers an immersive (沉浸的) experience. You can not only read the great story but also learn a lot about the animals in the real world. I highly recommend it!

D．How to make friends.
47．Why does the writer recommend this book

C．Because it teaches readers lots of scientific knowledge.

The Scottish Fold has a round head and big eyes. Its neck and legs are short. They make it look very lovely. Interestingly, all the Scottish Folds are born with straight and unfolded ears.

And unlike some other cats, they can even get along well with dogs! In many different places, for example, at a noisy house or in a cat show, you can see them playing with other animals happily.

It was December and the snow was falling quietly outside. The four March sisters were sitting around the fire in the parlor. They were knitting socks for soldiers (士兵). There was a war and everyone had to help.
Meg was the oldest of the four sisters. She was sixteen. Jo was fifteen. Beth was thirteen. The youngest, Amy, looked like a snow princess with her blue eyes and blonde hair.
“Christmas isn’t Christmas without any presents,” Jo said sadly.
“I hate being poor!” Meg said, looking at her old dress.
“Some girls have lots of nice things, and other girls have nothing at all,” said Amy. “I don’t think it’s fair (公平).”
“But we’ve got Father and Mother, and each other,” said Beth.
The four sisters looked happy for a moment when they remembered this.
Then Jo said, “But we haven’t got Father.”
Their smiles suddenly disappeared. Mr March was far away with the soldiers.
“Mother says our men are suffering (遭受) and we mustn’t spend money for joy,” Meg said. “That’s why we can’t have presents this year.”
“Well, each of us has a dollar to spend,” said Jo. “What can the army do with four dollars Nothing! I don’t expect anything from Mother but I’d like to buy a book for myself.” Jo often read and she had a passion for books.
“I want to spend mine on some new music,” said Beth. She played the piano and she loved singing.
“I’m going to buy a box of drawing pencils. I really need them,” said Amy. She wanted to be an artist.
“Mother didn’t say anything about spending our own money,” cried Jo. “We work hard for it, so let’s buy what we want and have a little fun.”
.......
Just then the clock struck six. Beth got up and put her mother’s slippers near the fire to warm.
“Those slippers are very old,” said Jo, “Mother needs some new ones.”
“I can buy a pair for her with my dollar,” said Beth.
“No, it’s my job,” said Jo, “Father told me to take care of Mother while he was away.”
“I have an idea,” said Beth. “Let’s not spend our money on ourselves. Let’s get some presents for Mother.”
Her sisters thought that this was a very good idea.

The cub (幼崽) went out for food. Suddenly, he saw something new. Five live things were sitting around something bright. It was his first time to see men. One of the Indians went over to pet him. This made him angry and he bit the man. The man hit him hard. She-wolf heard her cub’s cry and came to help him. One of the men shouted ‘Kiche!’ at her. She remembered it.
The man said, “This animal was my brother’s pet. When he died, she ran away. Her father was a wolf, but her mother was a dog.”
“It is a year, Gray Beaver, since she ran away,” said a second Indian.
“He has white fangs(尖牙), we’ll call him White Fang. We’ll take him and his mother with us.” replied Gray Beaver. Then he tied up Kiche, and White Fang lay down beside her.
Soon the rest of the Indians arrived. They were moving camp. They had dogs that also carried things. When the dogs saw Kiche and White Fang, they rushed at them, there was soon a great fight. The men separated them. White Fang and his mother had many bites, again she felt the power of men. They were the makers of law.
They came to a river. There were many tents. White Fang had never seen a tent before. White Fang was amazed by what he saw the men do. They were the masters of things not alive.
Later that day, some men began putting branches and leaves into a pile. White Fang saw something bright like the sun appeared, and grew. He had never seen fire before.
