The Giant's(巨人的) garden was a lovely large one, with soft green grass. Children loved to play in the garden. One day, The Giant went to visit his friend who had stayed with him for seven years. When he arrived home, he saw the children playing in his garden.
"What are you doing here?" he cried angrily, and the children ran away."My own garden is my own garden," said the Giant."I will allow nobody but myself to play in it."Therefore, he built a high wall around it. He was a very selfish(自私的) Giant.
The poor children had nowhere to play. They tried to play beside the road, but the road was very dusty and full of hard stones, and they did not like it.
Then spring arrived all over the country. Only the selfish Giant's garden was still a winter scene."Spring has forgotten this garden," the snow said,“so I will live here all year round.”The snow covered the grass with her white cloak( 斗 篷 ).
"I cannot understand why spring is so late in coming," said the selfish Giant, as he sat at the window and looked out at his cold white garden."I hope there will be a change in the weather soon."
But the spring never came, nor did the summer. The Giant's garden was once a beautiful place where children could play. However, when the Giant built a wall around his garden, it became a boring place. The autumn gave golden fruit to every garden except the Giant's."He is too selfish," autumn said. So the garden always remained winter.
It is clear that everyone will stay away from selfish people. Only by sharing with each other can we be happier.

( ) 26. Who is the selfish one in the story?
A. The Giant. B. The child. C. The spring.
( ) 27. Why did the Giant build a high wall around his garden?
A. Because he wanted to keep the birds away.
B. Because he wanted to protect his garden from the wind.
C. Because he didn't want to share his garden with anyone.
( ) 28. What does the underlined word"dusty "mean in Paragraph 3?
A. 一尘不染的 B. 布满灰尘的 C. 井井有条的
( ) 29. What happened to the Giant's garden in the end?
A. It stayed in winter forever. B. The spring came several years later.
C. Some changes took place in the garden.
( ) 30. What is the writer's main purpose of writing the text?
A. To let us be willing to share with others.
B. To teach us to accept every person.
C. To encourage us to play like kids.
D
Scientists at the University of Central Florida(UCF)have created a new kind of paint that is super light and hard. The colors in the new paint are like the colors on a butterfly's wings.
The common colors are created by mixing some colored materials into the paint. But nature has another way to create the color which is called the "structural color(结构色)" .The structural color comes from tiny shapes on the surfaces of things like wings of butterflies. Normally, we never see the shapes that create these colors because they're so tiny. Now scientists have used nanotechnology( 纳 米技术) to make paint with the structural color.
Researchers were trying to create a special surface. Finally, they found they couldn't, because some super-tiny “nano-islands”on the surface broke their idea. Then they realized that the nano- islands made colors when light hit them, and the size of the nanoparticles(纳米颗粒)decided which color could be created. So they decided to turn their discovery into paint.
The new paint is super light. Normally, it takes about 1,100 pounds(500 kilograms)of paint to cover an airplane. Now, it would only take three pounds(1.3 kilograms)of the structural paint to do the same job.
The new paint can last for a long time. What's more, the new paint doesn't heat up like normal paint. It can keep surfaces up to 16.6℃ cooler than normal paint. Using the paint on buildings in cities could help cool buildings and reduce the electricity costs of air conditioning.
Scientists believe the new paint will have a bright future. However, because materials of the new paint are rare(稀少的),scientists are working on how to make more common people afford it.

( ) 31. Which of the following is TRUE about the "structural color"?
A. It is from big shapes on the surfaces of things.
B. Scientists can use technology to make paint with the structural color.
C. We can see the shapes that create the structural color because they're not tiny.
( ) 32. How many pounds of structural paint would it take to cover an airplane?
A. 1,100 pounds. B. 500 pounds. C. 3 pounds.
( ) 33. What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A. The advantages of the new paint.
B. The history of the new paint.
C. The process of creating the new paint.
( ) 34. What is the writer probably going to say after the last paragraph?
A. How to lower the price of the new paint.
B. How to make more people know about the new paint.
C. How to let the new paint become lighter and more useful.
( ) 35. What does the writer think of the new paint?
A. Doubtful. B. Hopeful. C. Worried.

Myopia (近视) has become one of the main health problems for Chinese. According to a report by CCTV, 53.6% of young Chinese have eye problems, with 81% being middle school students, 36 . Here is some advice about how we can prevent and control myopia.

It may cause eye strain(劳损) and dry eyes," said Xu Hong, an eye doctor. Cut down our time looking at the screens, 37 .
Remember to blink (眨眼睛). Facts show that people blink less when they're looking at screens or reading books. 38 . Make an effort to blink every 30 seconds when we're reading books or using the computers, which can help our eyes relax.
39 . Vitamins C and E are important for eyes health. Vitamin C can be found in fruits like oranges and strawberries. Foods such as nuts, vegetable oils and fish oils are rich in vitamin E. So having some of them in our daily diet can prevent myopia from getting worse.
Have our eyes checked and see eye doctors regularly. Learn more about our eyes and ask our eye doctors questions. 40 . They will help us learn more in control of our eyesight.

A. Eat foods that are good for our eyes
B. Less blinking may lead to myopia more easily
C. And give our eyes a break every 30 minutes
D. For example, when glasses should be changed
E. so we should find helpful ways to keep our eyes healthy

71. Dear Betty,
I’m sorry to hear that you felt worried recently. It seems that you have difficulty in being confident. Don’t worry. I hope the following advice may help you.
First, you can develop confidence by practicing answering questions at home. The more you practice, the more confident you will become. Second, it is a good idea to encourage yourself by saying “I can” every day. Last but not least, try to find out what subject you do well in. And then answer the questions as many as possible. If you practice well in the subject you are good at, you will feel better to answer questions in other classes.
Being confident is necessary to live a happy life. So take action to become a confident person now!
Yours,
Li Hua
