As Peter was flying towards the ship, he passed the crocodile(鳄鱼). It had swallowed(吞) a clock that goes “tick, tick” inside it before. However, the clock wasn’t ticking then. Peter realized it must have stopped. He began ticking himself so that the other animals would think he was the crocodile and leave him alone. The crocodile, thinking that Peter had taken the clock, followed him. But when Peter reached the ship, Captain(船长) Hook believed the crocodile was coming to get him.

Peter climbed over the side of the ship and went inside a room. He barked like a dog, and all the pirates(海盗) were very afraid. Hook sent two pirates in to find out what the noise was, but they didn’t come back. Then he sent in the children. Inside, Peter set them free, and they prepared to fight.

Peter ran out to meet Hook. “It is I, Peter Pan!” he cried.

“Get him!” cried Hook.

The pirates ran at Peter, and the lost boys ran forward to fight them. The pirates were stronger, but they were so afraid of the ticking and the noise of the dog that they didn’t fight well. Finally only Hook was ready to fight. Peter came to fight him. For a long time, the two enemies stood face to face.

They began to fight. At last Peter hit Hook with his sword(剑). Hook began to bleed. Hook continued to fight, but he was not strong any more. He knew he was going to die. He ran to the side of the ship and jumped into the sea. He did not know the crocodile was waiting for him, as it no longer ticked. The crocodile swallowed him in one bite.

34．Why did Peter tick himself at the beginning of the story?

The moment they are picked up from kindergarten each day, Tan Xinyan and her friends rushed into a playground with new swings, climbing frames and slides.

“I’m surprised that such a small change can bring the children so much joy,” says Tan’s mother Hu Yufeng while talking about the playground in her community.

The appearance in old neighborhoods of well-equipped children’s playgrounds shows that China is taking steps to create better conditions for raising a child.

The country with the largest population is preparing for the low fertility of rates(生育率), at a low level of 1.3 in 2020.

In 2015, China began to allow all couples to have a second child. In 2021, this was  ▲   to three children for each family. It was followed by a series of supportive actions. The country’s new population and family planning law was also made to build a more birth-friendly society.

Even so, most of the couples don’t want to a second or a third child mainly because of the heavy stress of bearing, raising and educating children. As a result, support from local government includes longer paternity leave(产假), extra parental leave and better public services.

Having grown up as the only child in her family, the 35-year-old mother always envied those who had siblings to play with and offer support. However, she doubted whether to have a second child in the beginning, worrying that her parents and parents-in-law are already in their late 60s, and she and her husband both have busy careers.

“If we could not offer the children the attention and care they need for a happy and healthy childhood, we wouldn’t have a second child” Hu says.

As it turns out, she found more happiness with two children. “What doubled is not the workload, but the joy and good memories they created,” Hu says.

With supportive actions being taken, more mothers-to-be aiming for two or three children are expected to feel the same way.

In general, children are the creators of our future, and it’s the job of us grown-ups to create an environment to make this come true.

38．What’s the purpose of the first three paragraphs?

A．To express opinions. B．To introduce the topic.

C．To show feelings. D．To draw a conclusion.

39．Which of the following words can be put in the blank  ▲ ?

A．Returned. B．Included. C．Reduced. D．Increased.

40．What’s the main reason why most couples don’t want a second or a third child?

A．Their parents and parents-in-law are already in their late 60s.

B．Most couples have busy careers and only care about themselves.

C．The stress of bearing, raising and educating children is heavy.

D．They can not offer the children the attention and care they need.

41．The underlined word “siblings” means ________.

A．relatives and friends B．father and mother

C．teachers and students D．brothers and sisters

If you happen to be hungry, what will you do? Will you have some of your favorite foods? Well, just like your stomach, your mind can also become hungry. But it never lets you know this because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars. So while it silently satisfies your needs, you may, without even knowing it, not let it grow. When the mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity will come to a full stop. This may be the reason why we all sometimes think, “What happens next?” or “Why can’t I think?”

Having hunger of the mind is something which can easily be solved by reading widely. Why is reading better than watching TV? This is because reading has always been, going all the way back to our earliest days of childhood through to the person we are today, the greatest tool we have for developing our minds. Since it can also help to develop many other aspects of our lives, reading should be the first thing to help our minds grow. Once you start reading a book and your eyes begin running through its lines, your mind busily tries its best to explain the book’s meanings to you. The interesting parts of the book are stored in your mind like a seed (种子). Now this seed is used by you to develop your own new ideas. This seed, if it is planted many times, can help your ideas branch (发出新枝) out. This is what we call creativity. Also, reading widely can work to increase your vocabulary. In only a few weeks after you have started reading widely, you will be surprised to find that you are able to talk with your friends in English or any other language.

So guys, do give food to your thoughts by reading, reading and then, more reading. What are you waiting for? Go and get a book!

42．What will happen when our minds lose their freedom to grow?

A．Our stomachs will be empty. B．Our needs won’t be satisfied.

C．We won’t have creative ideas. D．We won’t grow up very well.

43．According to the passage, how to solve the hunger of our minds?

A．By reading different kinds of books.

B．By reading some books about planting seeds.

C．By communicating with our friends more often.

D．By watching TV instead of reading books.

44．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

A．When we should start reading a book.

B．How seeds are stored in our minds.

C．Why reading can increase our vocabulary.

D．What advantages reading can bring to our minds.

45．Where does the passage probably come from?

A．Social Culture. B．Travel Guide. C．Sports Time. D．Nature Watch.

After some more time had passed, it was time for the trial of Muff Potter for the murder of Dr. Robinson in the graveyard. Tom found Huckleberry Finn.

“Huck, have you told anyone what we saw?”

“Of course not !”

“I feel sorry for Muff sometimes. He didn’t kill Dr. Robinson, but I think they will hang him.”

“I do too, Tom. He never hurts anybody and he taught me how to fish.”

“He fixed my kite once. Maybe we could help him escape.”

“They’d only catch him again.”

“That’s true.”

They went to the jail and brought Muff Potter some tobacco and matches.

“Thanks, boys. You have been very kind to me. Nobody else is kind to me. Let me shake your hands. They’re only little hands, but they helped me a lot.”

Tom went home, feeling very bad.

He stayed near the courthouse for the next few days. Injun Joe told his story again. Everybody believed it .They all thought that Muff Potter would be hanged. Even his lawyer looked sad. That night, Tom felt worse than ever. He went to see Muff’s lawyer. The next day, the witnesses told their stories. Muff’s lawyer spoke.

“Call Tom Sawyer!”

Everybody was surprised. Tom came into the court. He told the judge what he and Huckleberry had seen. Injun Joe was frightened when he heard this. He jumped out of the window of the courthouse and ran away.

Now Tom was really famous. His name was in the newspaper. He enjoyed being famous, but at nighttime he was very frightened. Everybody looked for Injun Joe, but nobody could find him. Tom dreamed about him every night.

The days slowly passed by. Tom’s fearful dream of Injun Joe was replaced by another, more pleasant, dream. He and Huckleberry decided to dig for buried treasure. Tom had read about it in a book.
