11．（8分）Without the Internet or phones，communicating long distance is limited.Yet throughout history，cultures have developed ways to produce messages that travel miles.Morse Code is a system of communication.It uses patterns of signals to send and receive messages，often with a machine called a telegraph.
A telegraph is a machine that creates different signals from different messages.These signals are then changed into electrical current.They are sent across a wire.They can travel long distances，such as across the country or ocean.Another telegraph receives these signals.The machine changes the signals back into the original message.
In Morse Code，there are three types of signals.They are dots，dashes，and pauses.Dots （•） are the short noises or flashes of light.Dashes （━） are longer noises or flashes of light.Spaces （____） are the pauses.Patterns of these signals represent letters，numbers，and punctuation marks.In Morse Code，letter A is one dot and one dash，letter E is one dot，letter I is two dots.As for consonants，letter C is one dash ，one dot ，one dash and one dot，letter D is one dash and two dots，Letter T is one dash.
Morse Code was invented in the United States by Samuel Morse during the 1830s.People soon realized that the code could not transmit all messages in other languages.To fix this problem，a newer version called the International Morse Code was developed.International Morse Code is simpler and more exact.For example，the original Morse Code could only represent a few of the letters.The International Morse Code，on the other hand，is for all letters.

12．（8分）Cathy Hackl's son wanted a party for his 9th birthday.He wanted to hold the party on Roblox，a website where users can play and create games.Roblox is part of the metaverse.This is a virtual﹣reality space.There，users can interact with other people and digital environments.Virtual reality is a three﹣dimensional simulation of a real﹣life image or environment. "They hung out and played，" Hackl said， "Just because it happens in a virtual space doesn't make it less real." The term metaverse has become popular.Today，people are spending more of their lives in virtual spaces.
The word metaverse comes from a science fiction book from the 1990s.But the metaverse has been around longer than that.Online communities have existed since the 1980s.We enter the metaverse through a screen.This could be through virtual reality （VR）.It could also be through augmented reality （AR）.Augmented reality covers computer﹣generated images on the real world.These experiences create a greater blending of our virtual and real lives.But these two worlds already cannot be separated and we don't even need any headsets，such as VR glasses.Think about the Didi Taxi app.It uses location data to tell drivers where their cars are.
The metaverse is an expansion of the Internet.There are lots of Internet problems to solve already.Still，many people say it has real benefits.They say it can increase social networks and improve mental health.Hackl is a metaverse expert，and she's African.She says， "You can encourage a lot more people to join and build social relations." For those already spending part of their life in the metaverse，that building has begun.
Carrie Tatsu runs a business in the metaverse.But she wants her kids to spend time in the real world. "It's so important for humans to be with humans in real life，" she said，"I think as kids grow up in this space，it's important for them to take part，go smell a flower here，walk on a trail，have a real conversation with a friend.Even though you can simulate that，the simulation is not the same."

（1）How does the writer lead in metaverse in Paragraph 1？ 　 　
A.By telling stories.
B.By listing numbers.
C.By describing people.
D.By comparing facts.
（2）What does the underlined word "blending" mean？ 　 　
A.Changing.
B.Entering.
C.Mixing.
D.Reaching.
（3）What's the structure of the passage？ 　 　
A.
B.
C.
D.
（4）Which of the following can be the title for the passage？ 　 　
A.Metaverse：virtual spaces online.
B.Metaverse：a science﹣fiction book.
C.Metaverse：a popular computer game.
D.Metaverse：businesses on the Internet.

As we hiked toward the big rock，there was that sound!Cack﹣cack﹣cack﹣cack! "What is that，Grandpa？" I whispered.

Grandpa helped me feed it.Each time I came，it was bigger.First，its back legs came out.Then front legs.Grandpa said， "it's time for it to return home."
This time，I was brave enough to go ahead of Grandpa.I reached into the jar and got the little tadpole.I hold it out to the water.It wouldn't move. "It's all right，just a little further，" I said.I touched its tail，and it jumped right into the water.
