During the past summer season, photos of snow leopards were taken by five different special cameras in Pingwu, Sichuan province, surprising many wildlife scientists. This shows that the living area of snow leopards in China’s southwestern mountains has become larger.
Pingwu, about 4,200 meters above the sea level, is famous for being home to a large number of wild pandas. The fourth national survey of pandas in 2015 found that there were 1,864 wild pandas in China, including 335 in Pingwu. As a result, over half of Pingwu’s land area has become part of the Panda National Park, which has a planned area of 22,000 square kilometers across Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces. It is among five national parks China named in October, 2021.
Through shutting down mines (煤矿), planting more trees and other measures, protection efforts in the park have not only made pandas less endangered, but also are offering safety and protection for other rare species (珍稀物种). About 87% of the Panda National Park lies in Sichuan. It’s the home of more than 8,000 species of animals and plants.
The province has used special cameras and forest protectors as a closely connected protection system. Thousands of forest protectors have been working year-round on more than 900 routes. Over the past four years, they have met rare animals for about 1,600 times. In Pingwu alone, more than 4,100 species of plants and 1,900 species of animals have benefited from the protection of pandas. For example, the number of takin, a rare animal, has increased by 10% over the past ten years. Meanwhile, the protection of pandas causes the development of human society, too.

How could we tell time if there were no watches or clocks anywhere in the world?
The sun is probably the world’s first “clock”, except in the far north, where the Eskimos(爱斯基摩人) live. There, it’s dark most of the winter, and light most of the summer. But in most of the world, people have used the sun as a clock. Even today, if you don’t have a clock, you can still know that when the sun shines, it’s day and when it’s dark, it’s night. The sun can also tell you if it’s morning, noon, or afternoon.
Some people live near the sea from the tides. In the daytime, for about six hours, water rises higher and higher on the beach. And then it goes down and down for about six hours. The same thing happens again at night. There are two high tides and two low tides every 24 hours. Seamen on the ship learn how to tell time by looking at the moon and the stars. The whole sky is their clock.
In some places in the world the wind comes up at about the same time every day or changes direction or stops blowing. In these places the wind can be the clock.
A sand clock is an even better clock. If you had fine dry sand in a glass shaped like the one in the picture, you would have what is called an hourglass. The sand in the hourglass goes from the top part to the bottom in exactly one hour. When the hourglass is turned over, the sand will take another hour to go back again From the passage we can know there are _______ways to tell time besides the clock and watch.
| A．3 | B．4 | C．5 | D．7 |
. The Eskimos in the far north can’t use the sun for a clock because________
| A．they know very little about the sun |
| B．the sun there never goes down in winter |
| C．it’s too cold for them to go out to watch the sun |
| D．it has long dark winters and long light summers |
. What does the underlined word “tides” mean in the passage?
| A．洋流 | B．潮汐 | C．海啸 | D．波浪 |
In which page of newspaper can you probably read this passage?
| A．News | B．Science | C．Advertisement | D．Sports |
What is the best title for the passage?
| A．Different Ways to Tell Time | B．How the Clock Was Invented |
| C．The Development of the Clock | D．A Useful Machine to Tell Time |
阅读某网站上学生的留言和老师的回复，并将它们配对，请把序号A——E填入66和70题。答案均写在对应的括号内。Mary: I have been taking piano lessons for a whole year. I practice playing the piano for two hours every day. I have tried my best but I still can’t play it well.
Jane: I’m in the school art club. But I don’t like drawing at all. I really want to learn dancing.
Tom: My parents never allow me to play computer games at all. They want me to study all day.
William: I fight with my friends about just anything. We have arguments over sports, cars, games that we play, and much more.
Jack: I want to take part in some after-school activities, but my parents think they are too dangerous.
You should give your friends and yourself some time to calm down in order to solve the problem.
Don’t worry. Even great piano players have to practice a lot. Hard work and lots of practice are the only ways of becoming a good piano player.
Tell your parents that many kids play computer games but they do well at school. Ask them to let you play computer games for a short time on weekends.
Some after-school activities are good for your studied and health. You can talk to your parents about the advantages of the activities.

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap(消除代沟)。
Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider(认同) your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off（冷静）. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values(看法). The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try! The passage tells us ______ have a communication problem.
| A．parents and other people | B．school kids and their parents |

School education(教育) is very important and useful. Yet, no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, can not teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.
It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula（公式）. It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in math. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem.
Great scientists didn’t get everything from school. For example, Edison didn’t even finish primary school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things . The reason for their success was that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They would ask many questions as they read. They did thousands of experiments. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. Above all, they knew how to use their brain. According to the passage, the most important thing a teacher should do is _______.
| A．to teach his students everything he knows |
| B．to teach the students how to think |
| C．to know everything they want to know |
| D．to teach the students how to work out a math problem |
To work out a math problem, you need to know _________.
| A．a certain formula | B．a certain fact |
| C．some facts | D．the way to solve it |
Which of the following is NOT true?
| A．Great scientists read a lot of books and asked many questions while reading. |
| B．Great scientists did thousands of experiments. |
| C．Great scientists always worked hard and never wasted time. |
| D．Great scientists got everything from school. |
The passage is written mainly to tell us.
| A．how to memorize some facts or a formula（公式） |
| B．who the great scientists are |
| C．How to study |
| D．why Edison didn’t finish primary school |
