He was born during the Northern and Southern dynasties. From a young age, Zu was taught natural science, astronomy(天文学), math, philosophy(哲学)and so on. The little boy was interested in all of these subjects, especially in math.Zu was best known as mathematician for his working out of pi (π). According to historical records, he did all the work using only wooden sticks. It took him lots of time to work out the value--between 3.1415926 and 3.1415827. The achievement has been accepted around the world. In order to remember Zu, some mathematicians have suggested calling pi “Zu Lv.”Zu was successful not only in math, but he did a good job in astronomy, too. He worked out that a year should be 365.24281481 days long and created the Daming Calendar. However, government officials at that time did not agree, with Zu. The great mathematician never saw his calendar put info use. Almost ten years later, the new calendar was finally used in life.Zu was also an inventor. He once made a vehicle(交通工具)that carried a pointer. However the vehicle turned, the pointer always pointed to the south. Zu also invented the1000-li Boat. The boat could travel 100 li (about 60 kilometers)in a day.24.In this article, the writer mentioned Zu Chongzhi’s achievement in ______ .①natural science ①astronomy ①mathematics ①philosophyA.①①B.①①C.①①D.①①25.Which of the following statements is True according to the article? ______ A.The Daming Calendar was put into use when Zu was alive.B.Zu worked out the value of pi in just a few days.C.In many countries, pi is known for”Zu Lv”.D.Zu Chongzhi was best known for inventing the 1000-li boat.26.According to the passage, what may people think of Zu Chongzhi? ______ A.Hard-working and talented.B.Brave and clever.C.Honest and wise.D.Serious and shy.Just like an electronic bird, the ornithopter is a kind of aircraft that flies with its mechanical(机械的)wings. It will be used in many fields, such as doing research on other planets, or at airports, in the army and so on.They were designed by taking after the act of flying birds.In the 1500s, inspired by birds, Da Vinci invented a flying machine. But it flew only for a short time because of the limited power.Around the world, most ornithopters could keep flying for around half an hour, which was far behind other aircraft.There used to be no information about its flying duration in the Guinness World Record(吉尼斯世界纪录)for a long time. But recently,two Chinese universities created world records one after another.On July 21.2022, Beihang University set a Guinness World Record for the longest flight duration of an ornithopter at a time. The unmanned(无人的)aircraft looked like a bird in shape. It kept flying without stopping for more than 90 minutes. It is able to fly at a speed of 10 meters per second. In the tests before, the aircraft’s flying lasted just 53 minutes. After the research team improved its power system, its performance became much better.Nearly three months later, on November 15, 2022, the record was broken by Horthwestern Polytechnical University. The university made an ornithopter named Yun Xiao. The aircraft could keep flying non-stop for 123 minutes. They also developed other types of ornithopters.

But things turned upside down when Martin Mackenzie arrived. Martin was loud, rude and had a bad temper (脾气).You never knew what might make him angry, so it was best to keep out of his way. On the last day of term, my fr iend Harley said to me. “Martin’s looking at you.” he said. I was scared, and I didn’t know what to do.I looked at Martin and tried to smile. Martin didn't smile back…“You’re in trouble now, Josh,” Harley said. “Martin’s going to do something mean (卑鄙的) to you.” “I haven’t done anything to him,” I said. “Why would he do something mean to me?” “He doesn’t need a reason. It’s just how he is.” I kept away from Martin at lunch time. I smiled as I went to the car park after school. I was safe from Martin for the holidays. But suddenly, a voice called out, “See you on Monday, Josh!” I turned and saw Martin looking at me. “What are you talking about?” I asked. “Didn’t your mum tell you?” Martin said. “I’m staying with you for the next two weeks.”“Please tell me Martin Mackenzi e isn’t coming to stay over the holidays, Mum,” I said, as I got into the car. “Yes, he is,” Mum said. “His mother has to work, and I said I’d help her. Is that a problem?” “Yep, it is. He’s a bully (恃强欺弱者), and everyone is scared of him,” I said. Mum frowned. “I’ve given my word, Josh__You will just have to get along.”On Monday morning, Martin arrived. “Good morning, Mrs Grey,” he said. “Thank you for allowing me to stay. Good morning, Josh. It’s wonderful to see you again.” This wasn’t the Martin I knew.Wait until we’re alone, I thought. Then his good manners will disappear, and he’ll be horrible (可怕的) again. I was right! As soon as Mum was gone, Martin turned mean. He took over everything, and there was nothing I could do about. It was going to be a lon g two weeks…I told Mum how horrible Martin was to me. “I’ve just had a talk to Martin’s mum about that,”she said. “You need to know something.” “What?” I asked. “Martin's dad left.” Mum said. “So his mother moved the family every time she found a better job. Martin used to make new friends, but they always forgot about him when hemoved. I think he’s unfriendly from the start, so he won’t bedisappointed (失望的) when he leaves.” I looked at Mum. “1 feel sorry for him,” I said. But he is still horrible. “What can I do?” “Treat him like your best friend --- no matter how he acts,” Mum said.It was hard work, but I kept at it over the next two weeks. At last, Martin stopped bullying me. That was when I found out he was a nice kid.Martin’s mum was excited when she came to get him on the last day. “Martin! I’ve decided my new job is perfect, so we won’t have to move again!” Martin smiled. “Now I can keep my friends!” he said. “But, there’s a problem. Everyone’s scared of me.”“Maybe we can fix that,” I said. When Martin and his mum left. I had a word with Mum. We invited my whole class to a party.

A report by the Adam Smith Institute says meat made in a laboratory is better for the environment and would be cheaper than meat produced from farm animals.Need for meat around the world is expected to increase by 70% by the year 2050. So could people be eatinglab-grown meat in the future? Usually animals like cows are killed to produce the meat that people eat, but scientists have found a way to make meat in a laboratory without killing any animals.Animals are made up of cells (细胞). Scientists worked out how to take cells from an animal, like a cow, and multiply (繁殖) them in a dish. In the end from one tiny cell, tens of billions of cells can be grown. These join together to form meat.In 2013, the first hamburger grown this way was eaten in London. It took a year to produce and cost over £200,000 to make. Dr Mark Post, who created the world’s first hamburger from meat grown in a lab, told the BBC it “tastes exactly the same as the meat we know”. When two food critics (评论家) tried the burger in 2013, one said it was “close to meat” and another said it tasted like a real hamburger. It’s not just beef that is being created; companies are also working on other meat like turkey and chicken.The Adam Smith Institute says moving away from the present way meat is produced would help reduce greenhouse emissions (排放) by up to 96% and free up 99% of the land used in farming worldwide. They also think it will reduce chances of food poisoning (中毒) because the meat is grown under such controlled conditions. Jamie Hollywood from the Adam Smith Institute also told the BBC lab-grown meat could be a lot cheaper. He says the price has gone down in five years from £200,000 to £8, so in the future it could be even less.1.The main idea of Paragraph 3 is ______.A.what lab-grown meat is B.how lab-grown meat is madeC.what lab-grown meat tastes like D.when people can eat lab-grown meat2.The writer mentions two food critics in Paragraph 4 to show that ______.A.lab-grown meat is cheaperB.chicken meat can be made in the labC.lab-grown meat tastes similar to animal meatD.English people first tasted lab-grown meat3.The writer probably agrees that ______.A.lab-grown meat will cause a lot of problemsB.lab-grown meat tastes better than animal meatC.making lab-grown meat will cost too much moneyD.lab-grown meat can help solve the world’s food crisis4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.Could lab-grown meat be the future of food?B.What does lab-grown meat taste like?C.When could people eat lab-grown meat?D.What is lab-grown meat and how is it made?E17、Captain Nemo seemed very sure that that savages could not harm us. I slept well. When I went outside the next morning, I saw that there were many more natives on the beach. It was low tide, and many of them had come quite close to the Nautilus. I asked Conseil to get a net, and we used it to get some shells from the water. They were very pretty shells. Suddenly, I saw a very rare and beautiful shell. We looked at it together. One of the savages threw a stone at us and broke the shell. Conseil was very angry. He fired his gun at the savage. Then, we noticed that the savages had come very close to the Nautilus in their canoes. A few moments later, they began to shoot their arrows at us. We went inside and told Captain Nemo about it. He ordered his men to close the doors.“But what will happen tomorrow?” I asked. “You will have to open the doors to get more air, and the savages will come in.”“Do you think they will dare?”“I am sure they will.”“We have nothing to fear,” he said again.Captain Nemo asked me about our trip to the island. I told him what we had seen and done. We talked about another French sailor called D’Urville, whose ship was wrecked in the Torres Strait.

I went the re because I care.At the party, they had all kinds of small rooms. I got into a special one. In this room, anyone could paint a square. They gave everyone paints in bright, beautiful colours and asked the kids to paint something beautiful. As I looked around at all th e squares, I saw the pictures were all bright, except one.The boy sitting next to me was painting a heart, but it w as dark, empty, and lifeless.

But when I asked him ab out it, he said his heart was that colour because his own heart felt dark. I asked him why and he told me that he was very sick and his mother was very sick, too. He said that his sicknes s was not ever going to get better and neither was his mother’s.He looked straight into my eyes and said, “There is nothing a nyone can do to help.”I told him I was sorry that he was sick and I could certa inly understand why he was so sad. I could even understand w hy he had made his heart a dark colour. But I told him that i t isn’ t true that there is nothing anyone can do to help. Other people may not make him or his mother better but we can do things like giving him or her hugs. Then I hugged him for a l ong time.
