24、

The girl, 9 years old, is named Wu Gangyun. She lives in a poor village in Yunnan Province. When she was 6 years old, her mom found she liked to watch dancing videos and imitated the actions. The parents sent her to dancing classes. Teachers in the county were amazed by what she can do. They suggested her parents to find a better teacher for her. But it cost more than what the family could afford.

In 2018, her mom learned Zhang Ping could help them. Zhang Ping was born in the poor village, too. She has been teaching dancing for 20 years. In 2016, she was touched by a photo of girls standing beside a broken wall in her village. She found some of them were left-behind children, while others were orphans (孤儿). Later, she and her husband Guan Yu, also a dancing teacher, started a program called “Colorful Cloud Plan” to help them. Every summer and winter vacation, they come back to the village to teach girls for free.

In 2019, Zhang left her job in Beijing, set up a training center in the village. After watching videos of Wu dancing, Zhang and Guan realized she was a talent. Since then, Wu went to learn dancing with Zhang every weekend. In October 2019, Wu and other girls in the “Colorful Cloud Program” performed on the stage of CCTV.

“I want to be a dancer in the future and I want to be a person like teacher Zhang,” said Wu. Over the years, Zhang’s “Colorful Cloud Program” has helped 62 children from 17 villages. She believes the children can help more people like them when they grow up.

25、Name: Stella by Starlight

Type: Historical novel

Number of pages: 352 pages

What’s the basic storyline?

Stella and her family were living peacefully in a small North Carolina town in 1932 until Stella and her brother saw, in the darkness of the night, a burning cross, the symbol of the Ku Klux Klan. The Ku Klux Klan is a secret organization in the United States. It is made up of white people who don’t like people of other races (种族) and do harm to them. Things really started to turn bad when a neighbor’s house was burned down. In her small town, Stella didn’t know whom to trust. Could Stella find the courage to stand up for what’s right?

Are the characters believable?

Some parts of the characters are not believable. The characters, for example, are either all good or all bad. I prefer characters that are more different and conflicted (矛盾的). The plot, however, is so attractive that I don’t mind. And I always read it for a long time without having a rest. Overall, the writer wisely tells the story through the characters’ points of view.

▲

I think people who enjoy reading historical novels and adventure stories will really like Stella by Starlight. People who are interested in learning the history of black and white people in America will especially enjoy this book.

26、   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 bright 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. They have their special way to tell time. 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, 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.

【1】From the passage we can know there are________ ways to tell time besides the clock and watch.

A.3 B.4 C.5 D.6

【2】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 bright summers

【3】In which column of a newspaper can you probably read this passage?

A.Entertainment. B.Science. C.Advertisement. D.Sports.

【4】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

27、   The African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to African ecosystem (生态系统). Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna (稀树草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore settingthe terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat.

It is the elephant's great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.

Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.

What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.

【1】What is the passage mainly about?

A.Disappearance of African elephants.

B.Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.

C.The effect of African elephants' search for food.

D.The eating habit of African elephants.

【2】What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean?

A.Fixing the time. B.Worsening the state.

C.Improving the quality. D.Deciding the conditions.

【3】What do we know about the open spaces in the passage?

A.They result from the destruction of rain forests.

B.They provide food mainly for African elephants.

C.They are home to many endangered animals.

D.They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds.

【4】According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.The African elephant is the largest animal on earth.

B.African elephants have 300 pounds of plants every day, including small trees and underbushes.

C.The African elephant is in a way the builder of the environment like other land animals.

D.If the African elephant disappears, the whole ecosystem won't be affected.
