One day, a stork（鹤）saw a beautiful ring. It belonged to a rabbit. The rabbit went inside his hole, leaving the ring outside. The stork decided to try it on without asking. However, when she tried to take the ring off, it got stuck on her claws (爪子). She felt embarrassed. Since nobody had seen her, the stork flew off.
The rabbit was very angry to find that the ring had been stolen. Soon, everyone in the forest started looking for the thief. When the stork was found out, she thought, “Oh, no! I’ll have to do something.” She hid the ring by bandaging (用绷带包扎) her claws.
The stork thought she had solved the problem, but later she ran into the rabbit. Seeing the bird was hurt, the rabbit suggested taking her to the hospital. The stork just couldn’t say no.
Since her house was on the way to the hospital, the stork asked the rabbit to go first when she went to have some water. Once inside her house, she bandaged her claws again and again so that the doctor wouldn’t see the ring. Feeling more relaxed, the stork flew off to meet the rabbit.

Long March-5 rocket took off under clear skies from Hainan Island on July 23. China successfully launched(发射) its first Mars mission probe(航天控测器)
A great cheer went up in the control room when the rocket was flying normally about 45 minutes later. The Mars mission probe named Tianwen-1 has accurately entered the scheduled(预定的) orbit and finally it will enter into Mars’ orbit around the sun.
Liu Tongie, spokesman for the mission, said that the launch was “a key step of China marching toward farther deep space”. He said that China isn’t competing with other countries, but to peacefully explore the universe.
“It’s amazing that another nation has launched a probe for Mars,” said Katarina Miljkovic, a scientist at Curtin University in Australia. “It’s more like this marathon of space that we all want to be running.” Landing on Mars is very difficult. Only the US has successfully done it eight times since 1976.
The name Tianwen-1 comes from the poem Tianwen, meaning “questions to heaven”, written by Qu Yuan(about 340 BC-278 BC), one of the greatest poets of ancient China. In Tianwen, Qu Yuan raised questions about the sky, stars, nature and the world around us. It shows his doubts about traditional ideas and the spirit of looking for the truth.
Like the other Mars mission probes, China’s spacecraft(航天器) will take seven months to reach the red planet. Tianwen-1 will look for underground water and signs of possible ancient life.
38. The great cheer in the control room meant ________.
A. the Long March-5 rocket took off
B. the Mars mission probe entered its scheduled orbit
C. the probe reached the red planet finally
D. the spokesman for the mission came in
39. According to Liu Tongie, China’s space aim is ________.
A. to compete with the US B. to look for underground water on Mars
C. to explore the space peacefully D. to find signs of possible ancient life on Mars
40. What does Katarina think of China’s Mars mission
A. It is a space marathon. B. It is a very difficult mission.
C. The US has done it eight times. D. It should be widely admired.
41. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about
A. What the poem Tianwen means.
B. One of the greatest poets of ancient China.
C. How Qu Yuan raised questions about the sky.
D. Why the Mars mission probe is named Tianwen-1.
D
If you ever come into contact with an abacus, what do you do You might want to learn how to use it. People say that they are simple to use.The two strung (连成串) beads(珠子) each stand for five, and the five strung beads each stand for one. From right to left, each rod(竖杆) has a decimal value(十进制值): the first rod, ones; the second, tens; the third, hundreds, and etc. They do not actually have to start from ones.
The abacus was once widely used for calculating in East Asia. In China, in some out lying towns or more backward areas, if you go into a shop, you might find older people using them.
In old days, shopkeepers used them to tally figures. I remember when l first saw them, I was kind of surprised. I couldn't figure out how they were used and l felt quite stupid because people were obviously calculating faster than I could It wasn't only the Chinese who used abacuses. Similar abacuses were used since ancient times in the Western world and India also. In fact, it isn’t clear where it was invented. The Chinese abacus has a long history, and using one is simple though it takes practice to use it proficiently. In some situations, people using an abacus work much faster than people using electronic calculators or computers.
From different T'V programmes and other performances, we can see that using an abacus is easy and amazing. It just takes mental(心智的) calculation and your fingers to record the result. But as for me, I’d rather use an electronic calculator.
42. What does each bead of “ the two strung beads” stand for on an abacus
A. One B. Two C. Five D. Ten
43. Where might you find people using an abacus in China today
A. Areas far away from cities B. In the Western area.
C. Cities and towns D. All over the country.
44. According to the text, which of the following is TRUE
A. People all over the world don’t use abacuses today.
B. If you don’t know how to use an abacus, you are stupid.
C.. Only shopkeepers and businessmen used abacuses in the old days.
D.Sometimes, using a computer doesn't work faster than using an abacus.
45.Where can you read this passage
A. Novel B. Magazine C. History book D. Travel guide
