The world is full of amazing things. Let’s see the amazing story of a crane!

There was once a poor sailmaker named Chris. He worked very hard every day, but he didn’t make much money. He had a roof over his head and food to eat, so he lived comfortably, but he felt lonely because he had nobody to share his simple life with.

One day, an injured crane lay near Chris’ front steps. “Poor crane,” he whispered. He carefully carried the crane and brought it inside. He cared for it all winter long. One day, it was strong enough to fly away. Chris watched and thought, “If only I could catch that crane’s swiftness (迅速) in one of my sails.” The following spring, a beautiful woman knocked at Chris’ door. “My name is Lydia,” she said softly. “I’ve been walking for several days, and I need food and rest.” Chris took her in. A month later, they got married.

“I can make wonderful sails for you,” Lydia said. “They will be beautiful, and you will make a lot of money from them. However, you must promise never to watch me make the sails.”

Chris said, “I promise.”

Lydia went to her weaving(编织) room. A month went by before the first sail was finished. When Chris finally brought it to the market, he was surprised that people wanted to pay so much money for it. He asked Lydia to weave more. She wove many sails, and Chris’ wealth grew. He spent his new money on expensive clothing, jewellery, and paintings. As he made more money and got more things, he slowly became more greedy (贪婪的).

One day, Lydia said she needed to rest. She was tired out. But Chris insisted that she keep working, so she did. Then Chris wanted her to work faster. He became impatient with Lydia. One day, he was so angry that he forgot about the promise he’d made. He threw open the door to Lydia’s weaving room and was surprised to see a beautiful crane weaving its feathers into a sail.

Chris shouted, “You’re the crane that I saved!”

“Yes,” the crane said. “But you’ve broken your promise, so I must leave.”

Once again, Chris was a poor, lonely sailmaker. Whenever he saw a crane in the sky, he thought about his broken promise.

32．Which of the following best describes Chris?

①A kind sailmaker who saved a crane.

②A poor sailmaker who became rich finally.

③A hard-working husband who helped his wife.

④A greedy husband who treated his wife poorly.

A．①③ B．①④ C．②③ D．②④

33．Why did Lydia have to leave Chris?

A．Because her husband broke his promise.

B．Because her husband doubted her ability.

C．Because she was too tired to continue her work.

D．Because she was too poor to support the family.

34．How did Chris probably feel in the end?

A．He was happy to live on his own. B．He was satisfied with his business.

C．He felt sad about his lost paintings. D．He felt regretful about what he had done.

35．What’s the theme of this passage?

A．Greed blinds the eyes. B．Practice makes perfect.

C．It never rains but it pours. D．Actions speak louder than words.

The world is full of amazing things. Let’s see China’s amazing technology!

In our modern age, we do not think much about how our technology works. We are so used to tapping on our phone screen to get a map of our location. But how do our phones know where in the world we are and in which direction we are going? It is all thanks to the satellites in space that help our phones calculate our position. Depending on where you are around the world, your phone may be receiving data from different systems. In Europe, people have the Galileo system. In Russia, they have GLONASS. In the USA, people use GPS. China, meanwhile, has the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System(BDS).

The BDS in operation today is more advanced than the first version(版本) of the system, which was sent into space in 2000. The present version has better technology and more satellites. The system is not finished, though. When it is completed, there will be lots of BDS satellites. In the future, those satellites will allow us to discover the position of objects with millimetre accuracy(精确度): that is ten times more accurate than GPS.

Even though more satellites are being added to the system, the BDS has already been put to use. More than 40,000 Chinese fishing boats are using the system now. These boats are very helpful in search and rescue operations(营救行动) at sea. They are able to communicate with support services on land as well as give the exact locations of ships in trouble.

The BDS is being used on land as well. Of course, it’s not hard to imagine how the system is helping the police and firefighters do their job. Agriculture is another area where there are applications for the system. Farmers are able to put the data to good use when operating smart farming equipment. For example, the BDS can be used to control driverless tractors as they turn up the fields. Farmers are also using drones(无人机) to check the health of crops and spread seeds over fields.

Although the BDS is of Chinese origin(起源), the developers have said that “China’s BeiDou is the world’s BeiDou”, and they are actively developing international cooperation. Developers predict that the system will not only grow in popularity within China, but overseas as well. And when the system is complete and fully operational in the years to come, the BDS will undoubtedly bring lots of advantages to China and the rest of the world.

36．What does the underlined word “calculate” probably mean according to the dictionary?

A．① B．② C．③ D．④

37．How does the writer show the changes in the BDS in Paragraph 2?

A．By showing steps. B．By telling stories.

C．By listing numbers. D．By comparing conditions.

38．Which of the following can we learn from the passage?

A．The BDS has already become popular both at home and abroad.

B．People around the world use the same system to locate positions.

C．The whole world will take advantages of the BDS in several years.

D．The BDS has become a common way of communication in daily life.

39．Where do you probably read this passage?

A．In a storybook. B．In an art book.

C．In a science book. D．In a guide book.

40．What is the best title for the passage?

A．Next up, the BDS B．Get away, the BDS

C．Look back, the BDS D．Slow down, the BDS

八、阅读填表

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。

Most people have the good fortune to be raised by caring parents, who give them not only their love but also their time spent in doing various things for them. However, many who love their parents have trouble finding the time to spend with them that they know they deserve(值得). Well, here are some ideas.

●A family meal

For those who live within less than an hour’s travelling distance from their parents, a weekly get together around the dinner table is really not too much to ask. It can be at your place or theirs, or you can have other choices. Take the chance to chat about daily happenings, and repay just a little of the time they gladly spent on you. If they live really close by, you could even drop in on the way home from work at times.

●A weekly planned phone call

For those who live at a greater distance from their parents, there is no possibility of regular contact in person, but this does not mean an end to personal contact. Your parents will be glad to hear the sound of your voice, so plan to call them on the telephone at least once a week. If possible, choose a proper time when everyone is more likely to be at home. Your parents will be even happier if this could be a video call.

●E-mail, text and social networks

If your parents feel quite comfortable in the cyber world, well, spend some time with them in that location. Exchange e-mails, photos, and even Facebook friends with them. You don’t have to share every detail of your life with them, just the bits you know they will have interest in.

●Ask for your parents’ advice

Whatever problems you may be having, large or small, it’s a safe bet that your parents have been through it all before. So talk to them and ask for their advice, and if they make the way clearer for you, it might just turn out to be the best few minutes you ever spent.

●Share relaxation time

That is, plan time together doing something you both enjoy. Women preparing for a shopping trip or to take in a film could easily do the same thing together with Mum. Sometimes fathers and sons could enjoy golf or fishing together. Going out for a meal can be a time for everyone to have fun, or you can get together for a weekend once or twice a year if distance separates you.

Though most parents do not expect to play a lead role in the lives of their adult children, their years of love and gladly-given time deserve a few thoughtful minutes in return. So spend time with your parents and make them closer to you.

九、短文首字母填空

请根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。

Have you ever seen or drawn the “smiley face”? It’s become a popular way to show that a person is pleased or happy.

Where did it come from? Back in 1963, a company in the US was suffering from low employee morale(员工的士气). Everyone was worried they might lose their job, b____66____ the company faced difficulty. It meant there were suddenly more employees than n____67____.

To encourage employees to smile at work, the company hired an artist named Harvey Ball and expected him to come up with a good d____68____. Ball chose to make a happy face. It took him less than 10 minutes to draw a smiley face on a bright yellow background, which was then made into buttons(纽扣) that employees could wear on their jackets a____69____ a reminder to smile at each other. The face soon became p____70____ of the company’s culture and was introduced to the world. “It has r____71____ everybody. Its message is as good as you can get,” Ball once said. By 1971, millions of smiley face buttons had been sold! He was p____72____ of making something that made so many people feel good. He often said, “I made the world smile.”

However, as much effort as Ball made, that “message” soon grew to become unusual. Just think about it: How many of us s____73____ use the simple smiley face emoji just to say, “I’m smiling”? Chances are when we use it, we often mean, “I’m just going to ignore(忽视) you” or “That’s just perfect”—in a sarcastic(讽刺的) way. And our favourite emojis perhaps also i___74___ the upside-down face or the face with tears of joy—both developed gradually from Ball’s original smiley face—and yet, both are often used sarcastically.

Indeed, in today’s world, we are likely to act to many things with sarcasm instead of with a smile, perhaps because we’re finding it harder and harder to be happy. But we keep f___75___ about the fact that happiness and smiling go both ways.

That was probably what was in Ball’s mind when he first came up with the smiley face: a smile brings joy, and joy brings people closer together.

An Amazing Festival

I’m glad to share my ideas about the amazing festival. I want to name the festival Greatest Chefs and celebrate it on May 8. I like it because it can enrich our school life and prepare us for a better future.

To make the festival interesting and colorful, a food DIY competition can be held. Firstly, we will encourage students to make one or two dishes. After that, parents and teachers will be invited to taste what we have cooked for them. Finally, our teachers will vote for the Best DIY Cook in our school. As for the winners, they can get a big prize—one day without homework! Isn’t that amazing?

I’m sure everyone can have a lot of fun on that amazing day!
