Passage 1
Chinese Dragon Boat Festival is also known as Duanwu Festival. It is one of the three most important lunar(阴历的) festivals in China, along with Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. The date of the festival is said to be the date when Qu Yuan died—the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, so the date varies from year to year, such as it is June 20 in 2015, June 9 in 2016, May 30 in 2017, June 18 in 2018, June 7 in 2019, June 25 in 2020 and June 14 in 2021.

Passage 2
Most people are afraid of sharks, but they usually do not know very much about them. For example, there are 350 types of sharks, and all of them are meat eaters. Some sharks are very big.
The whale sh ark is 50 to 60 feet long. But some sharks are very small. The dwarf(侏儒) shark is only 6 inches(英寸) long. Sharks are 100 million years old. In fact, they lived at the same time as dinosaurs. Today, sharks live in every ocean on the earth, but most sharks live in warm water. They keep the oceans
clean because they eat sick fish and animals. Most sharks have four to six rows of teeth. When a shark's tooth falls out, another tooth moves in from behind. Sharks do not have ears.
However, they“hear”sounds and movements in the water. Any sound or movement makes the water vibrate. This helps sharks find food. Sharks use their large eyes to find food, too. Most sharks see best in low light. They often hunt for food at dawn(黄昏), in the evening, or in the middle of the night. Scientists want to learn more about sharks for several reasons. For example, cancer(癌症) is common in many animals, including people. However, it is rare(罕见的) in sharks. Scientists want to find out why sharks almost never get cancer. Maybe this information can help people prevent cancer, too.
( )1. According to the text, most sharks live _______.
A. in very deep water B. in warm water
C. near the surface of the ocean D. in cold water

Passage 3
While the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some students at White Cloud Primary School. They became the world's first kids to be taught by an electronic teacher. This electronic teacher is not a human-like ro bot walking around the classroom. Instead, he is a computer-created head that appears, when needed, on students computer or phone screens. His name is Bill.
Created by technology company Smart Machines, Bill is able to show human-like behavior. He is designed to teach a special program about environmental-friendly power created by the sun and wind. This program, started in 2005, used to be taught by human teachers.
Just like human teachers, Bill is able to immediately respond to the students' questions and opinions about the topic. Thanks to computer cameras, he is also able to see and react to students physical actions. For example, if a student smiles at Bill, he responds by smiling back. This two-way exchange helps get the students’ attention. More importantly, it allows the program developers to improve Bill’s behavior and knowledge base when needed.
The program has been a great success, according to Smart Machines spokesman Robert Frost. Frost says,“What is interesting to me is the children's reaction to Bill. He really captures their attention.”Frost thinks kids don't find the experience of being taught by smart machines as st range as older people because they have grown up in a time of computers and smart phones.
It is doubtful, however, that human educators will lose their jobs to Bill any time soon. For one, his talking head's knowledge base is not large. More importantly, even the smartest computer programs can't guess and react to all the unexpected situations that educators face daily. Bill's future might be as a “personal tutor”, providing kids with one-on-one help for different subjects and topics.
( )1. What is Bill
A. A human-like robot. B. A kind of computer game.
C. A computer recording tool. D. A computer-created talking head.
( )2. How does the two-way exchange help the program developers
A. It lets them correct students' mistakes.
B. It allows Bill to respond more quickly.
C. It helps them know how to improve Bill.
D. It helps them study students' body language.
( )3. The underlined word“they”in Paragraph 4 refers to __________
A. kids B. older people
C. smart machines D. program developers
( )4. What is Bill NOT good at doing
A. Attracting students’ attention.
B. Understanding body language.
C. Responding to students' questions.
D. Dealing with unexpected situations.
( )5. How might Bill be used in the future according to the last paragraph
A. To work as human classroom teachers.
B. To encourage students’ interest in computers.
C. To give students personal help with different subjects.
D. To watch over the behavior of the students in the classroom.
Passage 4

This poem was written by a middle school student in a lonely mountainous town in Yunnan Province during her first poetry class. The girl missed her mother, who died when she was 5.

Kang said,“Compared with students in the city, perhaps students in the countryside need a way to express their feelings and be heard more.”Supported by the headmaster and other teachers, the school held eight poetry classes for students every year.
As the classes grew in popularity, Kang became the school's favourite teacher. After she finished her teaching at the school in June 2017, she returned to Beijing and planned to study abroad.
However, on Teachers’ Day in 2017, Kang received a big box full of poems and letters written by students at her old school. She felt she was needed and decided to abandon her plan of studying abroad. Instead, she set up Enlighten our Future, a charity that reaches students in the countryside how to write poems.

Passage 8
A myth is something that is not correct, but many people believe. There are a lot of myths about the human brain.
One of the biggest myths is that we only use 10 percent of our brains. The next part of the myth is that if we can learn to use the rest of our brains, then we'll be much smarter. People say this all the time, but it's absolutely not true! The truth is that although we don't know everything about the human brain, we know that each part of it has an important function (功能). Modern scientists think the“10 percent myth”ridiculous(荒谬的).
The other most popular myth is about being “right brained”or“left brained”. According to this myth, people who use the right side of their brains are more artistic and creative. People who use the left side of their brains are better at math and science. This is as popular as the 10 percent myth, and it's also wrong. In 2013,a study at an American university examined the right brain and left brain myth. According to the study, we use both sides of our brains equally(相等地).
It's true that we use different parts of our brains for different things. We use our left side for language more, and our right side when we need to pay attention. But there is no evidence(证据) that creative people use the right side more of that scientific people use the left side more.
We've talked about myths, so let's look at a few interesting facts about the brain. First of all, the brain feels no pain. Second, about 75 percent of the brain is made of water. It's also the fattest organ in your body. Here's another interesting fact about the brain. Around the time you turn 18 years old, it stops growing.
( )1. The underlined word“This” in Paragraph 3 refers to __________.
A. the left brain myth B. the right brain and left brain myth
C. the use of human brains D. the study of an American university
( )2. According to the facts mentioned in the passage, __________ may use the left brain more.
A. Robert, who is learning English B. Kate, who is drawing pictures
C. Jenny, who is designing clothes D. Jacob, who is doing research
( )3. Which of the following is TRUE about the human brain
A. It is growing all life long. B. The right side is used more by artists.
C. Some parts of it are not used at all. D. Three quarters of it is made of water.
( )4. How many facts about the brain are mentioned according to the last paragraph
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
( )5. The passage mainly tells about __________.
A. the growing of the brain B. different functions of the brain
C. right brain and left brain D. myths and facts about the brain
Passage 9
For thousands of years, humans have explored(探索) the Earth. Nowadays, we are exploring space. Astronomers(天文学家) are the modern-day explorers. Now, many astronomers are looking for new planets and new places for humans to live in the future. But where do astronomers start looking
First of all, astronomers look for a star. That's because our own Earth moves around a star(the Sun). More importantly, it is the co rrect distance(距离) from the Sun for heat and light. So when astronomers have found the star, they look at the planets around it. In recent years, astronomers have found nearly
new planets with stars. However, many of these planets are either too near to the star or too fa r away.
However, if the planet is in a good position, astronomers look for three key things: water, air and rock. Water is important because all life needs water. Humans can drink it and they can also grow plants with water. And plants produce air for humans to breathe and food to eat. Rook on a planet is also important. That's because there is often water under the rock.
After many years of scrutinizing, astronomers have found a planet that is similar to the Earth. It's Gliese 581g and it's near a star. The astronomers think it has water and rock and the average(平均的)temperature is between -31℃ and -12℃. That's cold, but not colder than Antarctica or the Aretic Circle, for example. Gliese 581g is bigger than the Earth. A year on Gliese 581g is only 37 Earth days instead of 365. But astronomers do not think these are big differences and some of them think Gliese 581g will be a new Earth. However, Gliese 58lg is twenty light years from the Earth.
( )1. What do astronomers have to find first before starting to look for a new place for humans to live
A. New star. B. A new planet. C. Some heat. D. Some light.
( )2. What does the rock on a planet tell us
A. The star is in a right position. B. We may discover water under it.
C. The planet is too near to the Sun. D. There can be air around the rock.
( )3._____key things must be provided if the planet is suitable for human to live in.
A. Four B. Three C. Two D. One
( )4. What does the underlined word“scrutinizing” mean in the last paragraph
A. Discussing. B. Waiting. C. Looking. D. Traveling.
( )5. What's the main idea of the text
A. Gliese 581g is already a new Earth. B. There are planets similar to our Earth.
C. Water, air and rock are important. D. Astronomers are looking for a new Earth.
