A
Have you ever seen beautiful red paper cuttings on windows during the Spring Festival？Do you know that paper cutting is a traditional Chinese art with a long history？It is called "jianzhi"in Chinese，and it has been popular for over 1，500 years.
Paper cutting was invented in China during the Han Dynasty.At that time，people used paper to make decorations for festivals and happy events.They cut paper into different shapes，such as flowers，animals，and Chinese characters like"福"（fu），which means good luck.The art was passed down from generation to generation，and it is still an important part of Chinese culture today.
Many people wonder if paper cutting is difficult to learn.The answer is yes and no.You need a lot of practice to become skilled，but anyone can start with simple designs.All you need is a piece of paper and a pair of scissors.Paper cutting helps people be patient and creative.Itis not only a kind of art，but also a good way to relax.
Now paper cutting is popular not only in China but also around the world.Many foreign artists learn paper cutting and mix it with their own culture.In China，people often use paper cuttings to decorate their homes for the New Year or weddings.In schools，students learn paper cutting in a fun handicraft class.

四、任务型阅读-多任务混合：本大题共1小题，共12分。
25.An important discovery：accident or necessity？How do great discoveries happen in history？Are they just lucky accidents，or are they the results of long and hard work？Let's think about this interesting question.
Sometimes，discoveries happen completely by accident.A famous example is the discovery of penicillin，a very important medicine.A scientist named Alexander Fleming was studying bacteria in his laboratory.One day，he found that some mould had grown on one of his dishes by chance.To his surprise，the bacteria around the mould were all dead!He didn't plan for this to happen，but because he was observant，he realized its importance.This lucky accident led to the invention of penicillin，which has saved many lives.
On the other hand，many discoveries are not accidental at all.They are the results of many years of careful research and effort.For example，the discovery of the element Radium by Marie Curie was not a matter of luck.She and her husband worked in a small，poor laboratory for four years.They tested tons of a mineral called pitchblende（沥青铀矿）.It was very hard and tiring work.Finally，through their great effort and patience，they succeeded in discovering this new element.This discovery definitely came from necessity，not from an accident.
So，which one is more important？In fact，both are important.An accidental discovery need a prepared mind to see its value.Similarly，a discovery from hard work often meets small accidents or unexpected results during the research process，which can help the scientists move forward.Therefore，we can say that chance favors only the prepared mind.
(1) How did Fleming feel when he found the bacteria around the mould were all dead？
______
(2) How long did it take Marie Curie and her husband to discover Radium？
______
(3) Was the discovery of Radium a quick and easy process？
______
(4) According to the passage，what is needed to see the value of an accidental discovery？
______
(5) Suppose another scientist，Dr Wilson，was working on an experiment when he noticed something plete the paragraph below to continue the story，using the idea from the passage.（Use your own words no more than 30 words.）假设另一位科学家威尔逊博士正在做实验，这时他发现了意想不到的情况，利用文章中的观点，续写下面的段落，完成这个故事。（用自己的话作答，不超过30词）
While studying plant growth，Dr Wilson accidentally spilled a new chemical on one of the plants.To his surprise，______
