Dear Wang Mei,
I was glad to get your letter last Sunday. You told me about the weather in your country.
Here in Canada we have four seasons in a year, too. But in spring, it is usually cold in most parts of the
country. It comes in February. We can still go skating in some places.
Summer is usually cooler than that in China. Early in the morning, it is cold and we usually wear sweaters.
Autumn is a warm season and it is the harvest time in Canada. Farmers are usually busy working on the farm.
In autumn, Canadians like to watch maples in the parks or on the hills. They are really beautiful.
Winter is the coldest season of the year. It is often quite cold. There is thick ice on the rivers and lakes.
Children like to go skating there. Of course, they should wear warm, thick coats, or they will catch a cold.
I have to stop now. Please write back soon. All the best!
Yours,
Helen

Animals are our friends. Sometimes they make trouble, but sometimes they can help us. And they hope to live
a happy life, too.
Years ago, my friend Julius saved a bird—a wild ‘Mom’ cockatoo(鹦鹉) from the side of the road and kept it
as a pet in a big cage(笼子). It lost one of her wings, so she was unable to return to the wild. Soon, two wild
cockatoos came visiting and one ‘Dad’ bird wanted to find his way into the cage. The ‘Mom’ cockatoo in the cage
was soon expecting. But as she couldn’t fly, ‘Dad’ cockatoo built a home in the tree, keeping off everyone who got
close to ‘Mom’ cockatoo. ‘Baby’ cockatoo would spend his days flying off with his dad, leaving his mom behind.
She would sit and wait until they returned home each afternoon.The family stayed together happily.

History has recently been rewritten by Eileen Gu, and not only once. In just 24 hours, the Chinese teenage
skier had won three medals, including two golds, in three events at her first Winter X Games(世界极限运动会冬季
赛). She became the first Chinese athlete to have ever won a gold at the event.
Just about one year before the Winter Olympic Games in Beijing are set to begin, the teenage girl already fixed
her eyes on winning golds on home snow. If she keeps such great form(竞技状态), the rising star will get a lot
more in the future. It’ll be surprising to all the people if she becomes the next Chinese sports icon(偶像).
Born in 2003 in the U. S., Gu has an American father and a Chinese mother. She had her first taste of skiing
when she was only three years old. She began to attend international competitions on behalf of the U. S. in 2017.
Two years later, Gu made a great change in her life. She changed her nationality to Chinese.
One possible reason for this is her deep emotional connection(情感纽带) to her Chinese roots. “When I was a
child, many people called me a Beijing girl,” Gu explained. “Every time I went to China, I felt like I had come back
home.”
But Gu has an even greater dream as a Chinese skier. She wants to encourage more Chinese people to get to
know and take part in the sports.

A primary school headmaster became the latest star on the Internet for dancing with his students.
Zhang Pengfei works in Xiguan Primary School in Linyi, Shanxi Province. Every morning, he leads 700
pupils to do the “ghost shuffle(鬼步舞)” routine(常规) on the playground. They dance for 30 minutes every day.

his own. “I thought the dance would be great for kids,” he said. “The music is energetic and it really makes children
relax.” In October 2018, he introduced the dance to all the pupils of his school. Soon even teachers and workers
there joined in the activity.

serve us in so many ways. Trees give us fruits and building materials in the form of wood. Without trees it would be
impossible to build houses, boats and even bridges. Furniture such as tables, chairs and beds is made of wood.
It is very hot in the tropics（热带地区）all through the year. Trees protect man from the terrible heat. They
can also prevent good and rich top soil from being washed away during heavy rains. If there were no trees, the land
would become a desert.
There are so many desert areas in the world. People in the past had little knowledge about science of nature,
they cut down the trees and never planted new ones. After some years, the rich surface soil was blown away by
strong winds and washed away by heavy rains. In the end, the land was turned into useless deserts where nothing
could grow.

COVID-19 is still spreading around the planet. This year’s Earth Day focuses on climate (气候) change.
Scientists agree that climate change is causing harm to the world in the form of bad weather and natural disasters.
Will climate change lead to more disease outbreaks in the future?
The answer is a possible “yes”. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), studies have shown that
a warming Earth is causing more infectious (传染性的) diseases.
Malaria (疟疾), a serious and sometimes deadly disease, is mainly spread by mosquitoes (蚊子). Climate
change results in more heat waves and floods, which provide perfect conditions for mosquitoes to breed (繁殖). In
India, for example, the warmer climate has increased the risk by about five times. Studies also suggest that global
increases in temperature will drive disease—carrying insects from the equator (赤道) to the north. This means
some diseases like malaria or dengue fever (登革热) may move into new areas, such as Europe.
Deforestation (滥伐森林), a major cause of climate change, has something to do with infectious diseases,
according to Nature. In places such as Central and West Africa, there have been serious deforestation and losses of
living areas for bats (蝙蝠). These bats have started living closer to humans, which increases the possibility of
Ebola (埃博拉) outbreaks.
As ice keeps melting (融化) into water, diseases that lie under the ice may also come back. In 2016, a city in
northern Russia saw an outbreak of anthrax (炭疽) during a heat wave. Scientists believe the virus came out from
the frozen soil because of rising temperatures. About 90 people were infected, the New York Times reported.
What can we do to “cool” Earth?
Governments can
Put a tax (税) or fee on carbon emissions.
Advise using clean energy, such as wind and sun energy.
Make policies and laws to protect the environment.You can
Turn off electronic devices, such as computers and TVs when you aren’t using them.
Take a walk, ride a bike or take public transportation as much as you can.
Buy products that are energy-efficient.
66．What kind of harm may be caused by climate change?
A．Deforestation. B．Energy shortage.
C．Transportation cost. D．Bad weather and natural disasters.
67．What does the underline word “This” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．The rising temperatures help mosquitoes to breed.
B．Serious diseases can only stay alive in northern areas.
C．Insects help spread some serious diseases to the north.
D．High temperatures make a difference to the looks of insects.
68．What is TRUE according to the passage?
A．An outbreak of anthrax resulted from the frozen soil.
B．The climate change does little harm to the people’s health.
C．Bats act as a way for diseases to spread because of the deforestation.
D．This year’s Earth Day advises people to stop the spread of the diseases.
69．The purpose of this article is to________.

Do you remember the elephant “tour group” in Yunnan? Where are they now? They are back at their home!
In March, 2020, a family of 15 wild Asian elephants left their habitat in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province.
Since then, they had kept going north, through mountains, forests, rivers and even city streets. Along their journey,
they ran into villages and ate farmers’ corn. But no one blamed（责怪）them. “It is OK. They are just hungry,” a
farmer said.
Scientists guessed that the elephants were losing their habitat, so they might go north to look for a new home
with more food. Or the group might lose its way because its leader had no experience！
To help the elephants get home and protect them, the government used 76 police cars and trucks, as well as
five diggers and nine drones（无人机）. Police and scientists closely watched them. They watched the group’s
movement and sent warnings（警示）to nearby people not to get close to the elephants. They also helped themwith food and drink. Finally, the elephants ended their trip safely and happily after 17 months and a 500-kilometer
journey.
The Asian elephant is the largest land animal in Asia. Yunnan is the only habitat for wild Asian elephants in
China. The province has built 11 nature reserves. There are only 300 of them in China. The WWF is working hard
to save them.
73．In the article, the underlined word “habitat” means ________.
A．school B．home C．friends D．villagers
74．How many possible reasons for the elephants’ move to the north are there in Paragraph Three?

What is a “cat coffee shop”? Well, it is a cafe that has cats. People can touch the cats, play with the cats and
drink coffee there.
It seems that there are more pet cats around us today. And that’s true. There are 58,100,000 pet cats in China
according to the National Bureau of Statistics. The number of cat owners in China is the second largest in the world
after the United States. One important reason is that more young people are taking cats as pets. Maybe that’s
because cats are clean pets and you don’t have to walk them. More cats bring more jobs. Many people now work at
pet shops and hospitals.
But cats can be problems, too. Some people throw their pet cats away. The cats become homeless. They can
pass on diseases. They also hunt and kill other animals like birds and frogs. So in Japan and Australia, the
governments take homeless cats to animal hospitals. Doctors operate on them. So the cats can’t have babies. In this
way, the number of cats will not go up.
78．How many things can people do in a cat coffee shop according to Paragraph 1?A．Four. B．Three. C．Two. D．One.
79．Which country has the largest number of cat owners?

Keeping Earth healthy is an important job. That’s what the environmental protection is all about. One of the
hardest jobs is solving the problem of rubbish. The trouble with rubbish is that more and more rubbish is produced
and there will be no place to put it.
A lot of our rubbish comes from plastic. Juice, water, shampoo（洗发水）—these all come in plastic bottles.
Too much plastic is one of our worst rubbish problems. When a plastic bottle becomes rubbish, it remains rubbish
for hundreds of years. That’s because plastic is hard to decompose（分解）in the earth.
Is there a better way to deal with plastic? Yes! We can recycle it. When we recycle, we take something that’s
been used and turn it into something new. Here is how it works. People save their plastic bottles. A special
recycling truck picks the bottles up and takes them to the recycling center. Here, the bottles are melted down. The
melted plastic is sent to a factory. At the factory, the old plastic is made into something new. It may become a new
bottle, a backpack or maybe even a slide（滑梯）at playground!
Sometimes there are not many things that kids can do to help solve our planet’s problems. But kids can do a lot
about rubbish. Recycling is one way that all people can make a big difference!
