Resting her phone on a stand and making the light more suitable, 49-year-old Lyu Min started her livestreaming session —her daily job during the COVID-19 outbreak. Dressed in a qipao, a traditional Chinese dress, Lyu started the livestreaming session from her workshop at 10 in the morning, sharing the art of making Chinese knots with many handicraft(手工艺) lovers. Lyu, an inheritor(继承人) of the art of making Chinese knots, which is listed as an intangible(非物质) cultural heritage, became a livestreaming host.
“Though the sales of Chinese knots have dropped a lot, I’m still confident that I can get out of the trouble brought by the outbreak. I can make full use of this period to improve my skills and develop this traditional handicraft online,” she said. Lyu is quite new to the world of livestreaming, having bought all the necessary equipment(设备) after following her friends advice. She practises livestreaming every day and records a large number of educational videos. As face-to-face interaction is still impractical for many, even as the outbreak has been largely brought under control in China, she thinks livestreaming classes can meet more Chinese knot
lovers’ needs to learn the handicraft.
She has integrated the anti-epidemic spirit into her works, expressing the determination(决心) and confidence of the Chinese people to win against the COVID-19. “I love Wuhan, where I showed my works in 2019. Chinese knots are popular among many local people, and I made lots of friends there,” Lyu said. She designed a special Chinese knot to express her thanks to the medics who were sent to support Wuhan several months ago.
She has more than 200 followers right now. There are more and more Chinese knot lovers on her online platform. She is using a length of colored string and determination to keep this traditional art of Chinese knots alive online and help more people understand the culture. 34．The underlined word “livestreaming” in Paragraph 1 is close to “_______”.

C．Chinese knots sell very well in Lyu Min’s workshop through the Internet.
D．More Chinese knot lovers want to learn the handicraft because of Lyu Min.
36．What does Lyu Min think of the future of Chinese knots?

A．Having online classes during the outbreak
B．Introducing an intangible cultural heritage

D．Expressing thanks to the doctors and nurses
Do you like Physics or Chemistry? Matter (物质) is always changing, either physically or chemically. If a material goes through a physical change, it is still the same material. During a chemical change, one kind of matter changes into another completely different kind of matter.
For example, when we burn wood or cook fish, materials change. People use chemistry every day in the kitchen. The food we eat has many different natural chemicals. Many of the chemicals in food are necessary parts of a healthy diet.
Much of the food we eat has been changed in some way from its original form. The changes that food undergoes may be chemical or physical. If a change does not affect the food’s chemical composition, we call it a physical change. For example, melted (溶解的) cheese has gone through a physical change. It gets softer when it is heated but it is still the same type of material. Any change that changes the chemicals in the food is a chemical change. Bread contains carbohydrates, which are chemicals made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. When bread is baked (烘焙), the carbohydrates break down into black carbon and water. The carbon gives the bread a dark color and a crunchy texture (质地). The water goes into the air.
To get a closer look at the chemistry of baking, let’s watch how a carrot cake i s made. The main steps of baking any cake are mixing the ingredients (材料) and baking them together. In the course of making cakes, the dry ingredients are mixed first. They are flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder and spices. Flour gives the cake structure. Sugar helps to make it sweet. Salt strengthens the cake batter. Baking powder and baking soda make the cake rise.
Next, the carrots may be added to the cake. These help give the carrot cake its flavor, texture, and color. The other ingredients in the carrot cake are oil and eggs. The oil makes the cake tender and moist. Eggs serve two purposes—the whites help the cake to rise, while the yolks (蛋黄) give it a creamy texture. All of these ingredients form a mixture. This mixture can be separated into its different components (成分) although it is very difficult. Once the cake mixture is formed, it’s poured into a cake pan and baked in an oven. The heat from the oven has caused chemical changes to take place. The cake is finished and the ingredients cannot be separated.
38．The material doesn’t change when we _______.
A．melt ice cream B．burn paper C．bake apple pies D．cook beef 39．What’s the correct order of baking a carrot cake in the passage?
a. Carrots, oil and eggs are added.
b. The dry ingredients are mixed.
c. The mixture is baked in an oven.
d. Baking powder and soda make the cake ris
e.
e. Preparing some dry ingredients.
f. The heat from the oven causes chemical changes.
g. The ingredients cannot be separated. h. The mixture is poured into a pan
A．b-a-h-f-g B．b-h-c-d-f C．e-d-c-a-g D．e-c-a-g-d 40．After reading the passage, we know that ________.
A．water and carbon can give the cake a dark color and a crunchy texture
B．people can separate the mixture of eggs and oil into different components C．chemicals in different kinds of food that people eat are bad for their health
D．sugar and salt can’t be put into the mixture to make a cake at the same time
41．The passage mainly helps us to _______.
A．look at the steps of baking cakes closely
B．learn how to make carrot cakes at home
C．have a healthy diet with natural chemicals
D．understand physical and chemical changes
Herman planted the hot peppers (胡椒) in his five-hectare field in his town. The
36-year-old man put up a sign r eading “Africa Hema Village” in Chinese, English and his native language. His first harvest will start this
month. Herman studied in China from 2011 to 2018, receiving his master’s degree and a doctorate in environmental science. He returned to Rwanda in 2018 with his wife, Yang Hong, who is from China, and started his own business. Hema Xiansheng CEO Hou Yi visited Rwanda to find quality products to bring to the Chinese market. Hot peppers were one of his discoveries. The couple helped Hou’s team, from res earch to field trips, testing production processes (加工) and so on. They also helped Hema Xiansheng’s purchasing (采购) manager, Chen Huifang, when she led a team of eight to visit Rwanda to research the possibilities of making hot pepper products that suit Chinese preferences.
“We wore rubber gloves when we touched them. Our fingers still felt hot the next day,” Chen said. Their research and development team spent four days studying and cooking the peppers. Transporting fresh hot peppers to China proved diffi cult, so the fresh peppers can’t be imported (进口) into China. Then Chen’s team decided to perform basic processing in Rwanda before shipping. Processing requires a careful balance. Too much salt will make the peppers less delicious. Too little, and the pep pers may go bad. Because plastics mustn’t be used in
Rwanda, they had to find proper ways to carry the pepper sauce. The material they first used couldn’t stand the long flights. Now Chen is happy to see that the pepper sauce has sold well in Hema’s offlin e and online stores.
Herman pointed out that few local farmers grow hot peppers because the market is small.
A small amount is sold to Europe. And local need is limited due to its spiciness. So, about half the harvest is wasted every year. A young man in Rwanda will only make 10 yuan ($1.4) a day by working in the cities, but if they grow hot peppers due to Hema’s orders, they can make 50 to 60 yuan a day. Herman expressed his willingness to introduce more people to make more money by farming, rather than working for lower incomes, when e-commerce (电子商务) can bring greater needs and sales.
“It’s a chance for Rwandan people to join the new field and change their lives,” Herman said, “Through building more Hema Villages, Rwanda has the chance to become a countr y of digital agriculture.”
42．“Africa Hema Village” in Paragraph 1 is a place _______.
A．called Hema in Africa B．where Herman’s wife was born C．providing hot peppers for Hema D．for Africans to buy hot peppers 43．Why should the peppers be processed before shipping to China? Because _______. A．a balance is needed when the processing is done
B．fresh hot peppers mustn’t be imported into China
C．in Rwanda, people are not allowed to use plastics
D．during shipping, fresh hot peppers are easy to go bad
44．If a young man in Rwanda grows hot peppers for Hema, he may get about ______. A．10 dollars a week B．1,600 yuan a month
C．500 dollars a year D．16,000 yuan half a year
45．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Many types of products have been offered in Africa Hema Village.
B．Hot peppers from Africa have a large market all around the world.
C．Hema Xiansheng paid for Herman’s seven-year education in China.
D．Herman hopes to do something to improve people’s lives in Rwanda.

Reyes Guana grew up in a poor Mexican family. He has seven brothers and sisters. His parents always had two jobs to make ends meet. At weekends, the whole f66．went to fields to work. When the children were young, they stayed in the car. As they grew o67．, they worked, too.
As a boy, Guana was a “very shy” child who was very q68．in school. He had few friends but he had a good relationship with the school cleaner. He liked to call the friendly lady “Nike” because she usually wore Nike clothes and shoes. Nike was well organized and the boy liked h69．she made everything clean. He told her he wanted to be a cleaner, too. “Well, it’s good if you want to be a cleaner,” Nike said to little Guana with k70．. “But make sure you go to college and make it as one of your steps there.”
Guana also looked up to the principal (校长) of his school. He was a tall and good-looking man. Also, he always went to someone in n71．. The principal told the boy that his job was to help students and teachers. “Wow, when I grow up, I want to do what you’re doing.” “Well, you can do it!” the principal r72．. Guana did get there, and the two men remain friends. The former principal is now almost 90 years old.
But b73．becoming a school principal, Guana followed in Nike’s footsteps and worked for three schools in Lodi, California. And being a cleaner at a school made him think about how to show respect for everyon e in an organization. In Guana’s school system today, everyone is i74．to parties and events. Everyone is important not only the people who clean the floors or drive the buses but also the people who teach the students or lead the schools.
He never f75．where he came from, or how he felt. Now, Guana tells his own three children how important an education is for their lives.
Eight years ago, 1-week-old Diandian was left behind. When people found her in the reeds (芦苇) of a lake, she looked too weak to survive. Now she is the mother of three milu, thanks to the workers’ attention and care at the East Dongting Lake National Nature Reserve.
Li is the president of a milu conservation association in Yueyang and head of a local milu and bird rescue center, where 11 deer, including Diandian, have their families. Li and his
workmates need to work extra hours to take care of the animals from March until mid-May. He remembers March 18 this year. He fed Diandian some fresh shoots and leaves for breakfast as usual, and moments later when he returned, a newborn milu was right beside her. Since it is her third baby and born in the third month of the year, people named it Sansan, referring to “three-three”. Li has developed a deep affection for milu and made up his mind to protect them. “As our country is paying more attention to environmental and wildlife protection, people are increasingly aware that milu are state-protected animals,” Li said.
Milu habitats (栖息地) are usually centered around water, and fishing equipment that used to be a threat to the animals is no longer seen in nature reserves. On May 27, a team of experts went to watch milu near Dongting Lake. It takes time and luck to meet one and count them especially when they live in the thick reeds that are 4 to 5 meters tall. The team leader Song, saw a milu for the first time when he was studying for his doctorate in zoology early in 2009. Since then, he has helped protect the habitats at Dongting Lake. As the flood season is coming, Song and his workmates will go around the lake area day and night to save deer in trouble, and provide feed for the animals when needed.
As the environment improves in and around Dongting Lake, China’s second-largest freshwater lake, the wetland has become cover once again for wildli fe. “We will continue to protect these rare animals and their living environment,” Song said.
76．How was Diandian when she was found in the reeds eight years ago?
______________________________________________________
77．Why do people call Diandian’s new baby Sansan?
______________________________________________________
78．Why does Li think more people realize milu are state-protected animals?
______________________________________________________
79．When did Song start to devote himself to protecting the habitats at Dongting Lake?
