Lee is a kind painter who loves wild animals. In 2010, she went to the Ruoergai Grassland in Sichuan and heard a sad story there.
A father wolf was killed by hunters when looking for food for his family. The mother wolf died soon because of sadness, leaving six baby wolves alone.

Green was smart and lovely. But as it grew up, its wild nature came out slowly. It often bit things, ate uncooked meat and hated wearing dog ropes.“Wolves never live well in cities. Green belongs to the wild.” Lee realized that and made a hard decision.
She sold her house and car, and went back to the grassland with Green. She stayed with Green, teaching it how to hunt and fight against other dangerous animals. After months of practice, Green finally got back its living skills in the wild.
Later, Green successfully joined a wolf group and grew into a strong wolf king. In the following years, Lee went back to see Green many times.

① Nature is full of wonders, and one of the most amazing wonders is the great journey of monarch butterflies(帝王蝶). These orange and black butterflies are small, but they can travel thousands of kilometers.
② Every autumn, millions of monarch butterflies leave the cold north of America and fly south to warmer forests in Mexico. Many of them have never been there before, but they can still find the way. Scientists believe that the butterflies use the sun and the earth's magnetic field (磁场) to guide themselves.
③ The trip is not easy. Strong wind, heavy rain and cold weather are big challenges for them. Some weak butterflies cannot finish the trip, but the whole group keeps moving forward. When they finally reach the forests inMexico, they cover the trees like orange leaves. It is one of the most beautiful sights in nature.
④ What is more amazing is that the butterflies that fly back north in spring are not the same ones that started the trip. Several generations(代) are needed to finish the whole travel cycle. Still, each new generation seems to know where to go. This makes scientists continue to study them.

Reading is not only about finishing pages. A good reader does more than remembering the story. Good readers ask questions, connect ideas and think about the writer's opinions. 31
●Choose books that are right for you.
If a book is too easy, you may soon feel bored. If it is too difficult, you may give up after a few pages. 32 You can read the first page and see if you understand most of it.
● 33
Some students read with their eyes moving but their minds sleeping. Try to stop after each chapter(章节) and ask,“What happened What may happen next ” These questions keep your brain working while you read.
●Write down your thoughts.
You do not need to write a long report. A few words beside a sentence can help you remember your feelings.For example, you may write“surprising”,“funny” or“I disagree”. 34
●Share your reading with others.
When you talk about a book, you hear different ideas. A friend may notice something you missed. 35 In this way, reading becomes a conversation.
Reading is a journey that grows with you. It helps you know yourself, understand others and see a wider world.Pick up a book, and let it take you somewhere new.
A. Make reading active.
B. So finding a book at your level is important.
C. Reading quickly is better than reading slowly.
D. Here are some ways to become a better reader.

四、读写结合(共两节，满分25分)
第一节 任务型阅读(共5小题，满分10分)
阅读短文，用英语填空或回答问题，请注意每小题的词数要求。
Body language is an important part of communication. However, it can mean very different things in different cultures. If you travel to a foreign country, knowing about their body language can help you avoid misunderstandings.
Let's look at head movements first. In China and most western countries, nodding(点头) means“yes” and shaking the head means“no”. But in some parts of India, it is exactly the opposite! Nodding means“no” and shaking the head means“yes”.
Eye contact is another interesting difference. In the US and the UK, looking into someone's eyes when talking shows that you are honest and paying attention. But in some Asian and Middle Eastern cultures, looking directly at older people or teachers is considered impolite. People look down to show respect.
The“OK” hand sign is commonly used in America to mean“Everything is good.” However, be careful where you use it! In Japan, this sign means“money”. In France, it means“zero” or“nothing”. In Brazil, it is actually a very rude gesture(手势)!
Understanding cultural differences makes crossing cultures easier and more fun. Before you travel, do some research on local customs.
46. Why should we learn about body language before traveling to a foreign country (不超过 15个词)
47. Fill in the blanks according to the passage.
Body Language Countries/ Regions Meanings
shaking the head (不超过5个词) It means“yes”.
looking into someone's eyes the US and the UK It shows you are .(不超过5个词)
(2 词) some Asian, Middle Eastern cultures It shows respect to older people or teachers.
the“OK” hand sign France It means“zero” or“nothing”.
