A
What do you think will happen if you draw a picture with crayons and cover up that picture with paint? Now
follow the steps below to find out the answer.
What you need
*crayons of different colours
*drawing paper
*blue poster paint
*a small bowl
*a cup filled with water
*a paintbrush
How to do it
Step 1
Think about a scene under the sea with different-coloured fish and sea plants. And then
draw the fish and sea plants with your crayons. The more colours you use, the better your
picture will be.
Step 2
Pour a little blue paint into the bowl. Add a bit of water and stir (搅拌) to make your paint
a little thinner.
Step 3
Dip your brush into the blue paint in the bowl. Cover your whole picture with the blue
paint. What happens? You have sea plants and animals living in a blue sea!
Why it happens
Your crayons are made of wax (蜡). Wax resists, or stays away from the paint. That’s why
it does not cover the picture. So your sea plants and fish are still there.
21. Which tool is needed for Step 1?
A. A paintbrush. B. Different crayons.
C. A small bowl. D. Some blue paint.
.
22 Which picture shows what you do in Step 2?A B. C.
.
D.
23. What does the underlined word “it” in the last part mean?
A. Paper. B. Water. C. The bowl. D. The paint.

In a lively martial arts (武术) club in Akpro-Misserete, Benin (贝宁), the sound of feet hitting the ground and
cries of “Hay-Hah!” fill the air. Damien Degbo, 53, teaches his students kung fu and tai chi there. For him, Chinese
martial arts are more than just exercise. They’re a way of life and a bridge between Benin and China.
At the age of 13, Degbo watched Chinese martial arts movies in Benin’s capital. He loved how these actors
fought with beauty and power. That’s when his love of kung fu began. Degbo joined a private kung fu club and
later learnt Chinese at a culture centre. In 2010, he started his own club, Super Shaolin of Benin. In 2014, he got a
chance to train at China’s Shaolin Temple. The training was hard, but it taught him a lot about Chinese culture. He
learnt how to practice calligraphy, tea preparation and traditional Chinese medicine.
Now, Degbo’s club has more than 350 students. He teaches not only Chinese martial arts but also Chinese
culture. Chefif Deen, a student of the kung fu master, says kung fu has changed his life, helping him become
stronger and more self-controlled.
Degbo thinks of himself as someone who spreads Chinese culture. He wants to share with young people
Chinese good qualities like self-control and respect. As China and Benin get closer, more and more people likeDegbo will help build a stronger friendship between the two countries through kung fu.
24. What is Degbo according to Paragraph 1?

25. What is the correct order of the events about Degbo?
① He set up Super Shaolin of Benin.

C. It’s kung fu actors’ duty to spread culture. D. Kung fu can help people improve their lives.

In a project called “My Kitchen Journey”, three students from Sunshine Middle School share their experiences
of learning to cook.
I’ve been taking cooking classes at school. I’m still crazy about
making food, even though it’s not always easy. Those cooking skills
I’ve learnt are useful, especially when I have to make a meal with
limited things. I’ve realized that to eat well, you need to keep learning
to cook new dishes, not just a few dishes. Imagine you’re a musician—
people will get tired of hearing even a great song, if it’s the only one
you can play. The same goes for cooking.
I love watching my mum mix different things to make delicious
dishes. I don’t think we need to stick to recipes (食谱) strictly. And
what matters is just trying things out. So when I cook, I often try
something new and take notes of what I’ve done and what I’ve used—
a bit like what I do in my Science classes! I’ve learnt a lot of cooking
skills, but I know I still have more to learn.
Helping in the kitchen is fun. I can make simple
things like pies for everyone. But I often make a mess.
Once, I even served my pie without the sauce! My family
are patient. They’ve given me the confidence to learn more
cooking skills. Books help me a lot in my learning. I like to
read cooking books in my room and go to the kitchen when
I think I can manage some key recipes well.28. According to Simon, what should we do to eat well?
A. Be a musician. B. Play a great song.
C. Cook more new dishes. D. Buy more cooking books.
29. Why does Amy think cooking is similar to studying Science?
A. She tests her dishes in a lab. B. She follows Mum’s suggestions.
C. She cooks with Math skills. D. She keeps trying and taking notes.
30. How does Daniel improve his cooking?
A. By reading and practicing. B. By taking cooking classes.
C. By watching his mum cook. D. By making delicious sauce.
31. What plays an important role in all the three cooking experiences?
A. Mixing different things. B. Learning cooking skills.
C. Reading different books. D. Having cooking lessons.
D
The sixth planet was ten times larger than the last one. There the little prince met an old gentleman who was
writing a big book.
“What is that big book?” said the little prince. “What are you doing?”
“I am a geographer,” the old gentleman said to him. “And I am writing about all the seas, mountains and
deserts.”
“That is interesting,” said the little prince. “So could you tell me something about your planet?”
“I couldn’t tell you,” said the geographer. “But you are a geographer!”
“Exactly,” the geographer said. “But I am not an explorer. We don’t have any explorers here. I don’t go out to
count the seas, mountains and deserts. Instead, I receive explorers from other planets in my study. I ask them
questions, and I write down their answers.”
The geographer’s eyes suddenly shone with excitement.
“But you... you come from far away! You are an explorer! You shall describe your planet to me!”
“Oh, where I live,” said the little prince, “it is all so small. I have a flower on my planet.”
“We do not record flowers,” said the geographer.
“Why is that? The flower is the most beautiful thing on my planet!”
“We do not record them,” said the geographer, “because they are ephemeral.”
“What does that mean... ‘ephemeral’?”“Geographies,” said the geographer, “are the books about eternal things. The thing that matters to us is the
mountain. It doesn’t change. But your flower is different. It will not last long. It is ephemeral.”
“My flower is ephemeral,” the little prince said to himself, “and I have left her on my planet, all alone!”
That was his first moment of regret. But he took courage and asked, “What place would you advise me to visit
now?”
“The planet Earth,” replied the geographer.
“I promise you will like it.”
And the little prince went away, thinking of his flower.
—Adapted from The Little Prince
32. Where is this text most likely taken from?
A. A film poster. B. A storybook. C. A travel guide. D. A news report.
33. What can we learn about the geographer?
A. He knows his planet well. B. He collects explorers’ experiences.
C. He loves reading a large book. D. He has been to many other planets.
34. What does the underlined word “ephemeral” mean?
A. Staying the same. B. Looking beautiful.
C. Lasting a short time. D. Sounding interesting.
35. What can we learn from the text?
A. One flower doesn’t bring spring. B. A good book is a light to the mind.
C. We should protect our home planet—Earth. D. You can find beauty even if it doesn’t last long.

五、读写综合
（一）（共5 小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读并回答问题
People are once again impressed by a recent science fiction movie. In the movie, people on a desert planet
wear special suits that turn sweat (汗水) into clean drinking water. Sounds like magic? In fact, in some water-short
places on Earth, people recycle waste water in similar ways. Even astronauts in space recycle their water!
You might think, “We have plenty of water on Earth.” But actually, clean water is limited. Some countries are
developing better ways to save water. In Germany, there’s an amazing waste water reuse system. This new system
separates waste water into different types.
—Rainwater is collected to water the gardens.
—“Gray water” from kitchen and bathroom sinks is used to flush toilets.
—“Black water” from toilets is sent to a local factory to be turned into biogas (沼气).
The purpose of the system is not only to reduce water use but also to provide power for local people.
Perhaps more countries can follow this example. The challenge lies with old houses. Using these new systems
in old buildings costs a lot. However, people once thought LED lights were expensive too. Now they’re
everywhere. This time, we can make similar changes to save water.
Remember, every drop counts! By using water wisely today. We can make sure there’s enough clean water for
everyone tomorrow.
回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。
61. What do people wear to get clean drinking water in the movie?
___________________________________
62. How many types of waste water are reused in the new system?
