Welcome to the Amazon rainforest. As the largest rainforest in the world, it plays an important role in keeping the balanced ecosystem（生态系统）on the Earth. With an area of around 6 million square kilometers, the Amazon rainforest is more than half the size of China. This area has a great many species（物种）. Actually, one in ten known species in the world can be found here.

Of the 390,000 plant species known to us, more than 40,000 can be found in the Amazon. There are different levels in the forest. At the bottom is a system of roots under the ground. Above that is leaf litter on the dark forest floor. The next level is made up of shorter plants with large leaves. Then there are the towering ancient hardwoods, and finally the tops of the trees which are taller than any other level of trees in the forest. Each level of the forest forms its own little world, home to different kinds of living things.

More than 1,300 species of birds and over 400 species of mammals（哺乳动物）hide among the forest’s plant life. This jaguar is one example. While a large number of jaguars survive here, they are only one part of this forest's food chain（食物链）. They feed on at least 87 species, including frogs. These frogs, in turn, feed on insects which eat leaves and fruit.

The Amazon rainforest is a treasure house of species that can be used for food or medicine. What’s more, the Amazon rainforest breathes life into the planet by producing over 20 percent of all the Earth’s oxygen（O₂）. So it is often known as the “lungs of the planet”.

If sports are something that interests you, you must want to know how to be good at them. Succeeding at a sport takes skill. （1） Skill alone may take you far, but you’ll never go all the way without the right attitude and team spirit. The following tips can help you be a better sports player

Join a sports team. If you’re interested in sports, joining a team is a good way to start. （2） You are likely to develop friendships with at least some of your team members. Besides, even if your skills are low, joining a team will improve your skills.

Set big but realistic（现实的）goals for yourself. This does not mean being unrealistic, or saying you’re going to go professional within a year. Instead, you should take a look at what you are, and decide where you think you would like to be. （3）

Be a good sport. Being good at sports means more than physical strength and speed. （4） If you fail in a match, accept the loss and show respect to other players for their victory. Treat loss as a learning experience. Find out what you did wrong, and then try to improve it for the next game.

（5） It’s possible to get so crazy about winning that you forget why you want to be good at the very beginning. Not taking the time to enjoy the sport you play results in a fast burnout. Whether you’re practising or playing a competition, remember it is the joy that matters.

A. Let yourself have fun. B. Stay focused on the competition. C. Exercising with others is very enjoyable and encouraging. D. In order to be truly great, you need to be positive towards failure. E. Break a big goal down into small parts, and achieve them step by step. F. However, other things should be considered if you want to be a good sports player.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Sugar painting, as the name means, is a painting made of sugar. It’s the sugar for us to taste, and the painting for us to admire.

Since the Warring States Period（战国时代）, the ancient people loved sweets and developed methods of producing sugar. In the Tang Dynasty, there was huge progress in the technology of sugar making. And sugar, the precious product once only served to the emperors and princes, also went into common people’s homes. With the cultural and economic（经济的）development of Song and Yuan Dynasties, people became less interested in only tasting sweetness. In the Ming Dynasty, some people added pictures with good luck into the bowl of sugar, and sugar painting appeared.

Sugar painting is different from normal painting. Sugar painters use syrup（糖浆）as the material, a spoon as the “paintbrush”, and a smooth table as the “paper”. To make syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. Since syrup may become hard if it cools, the painters have to produce the work very quickly. They move the spoon full of syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting is done.

However, it’s a pity that this folk art is dying recently. The sugar painting that used to be rich in shapes has become poorer and poorer because of fewer needs. What’s worse, few people seem to be willing to pass on the art except those aging sugar painters.

For most people, painting is a kind of art and difficult to understand. However, sugar painting has pulled the art down into people’s daily lives. Through it, we may see the spiritual support of the ancient people across centuries. Now, sugar painting has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage（非物质文化遗产）in China. Therefore, the art should be remembered, missed and passed on.

（1）What does the underlined word “precious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．	Valuable and expensive.	B．	Useful and cheap.
C．	Special but worthless.	D．	Simple but priceless.

（2）When did sugar painting appear?

A．	In the Warring States Period.	B．	In the Tang Dynasty.
C．	In the Yuan Dynasty.	D．	In the Ming Dynasty.

（3）Why should sugar painters make the work very quickly?

A．	To show their excellent skills.	B．	To avoid syrup becoming hard.
C．	To protect the spoon and the table.	D．	To reduce people’s waiting time.

（4）What’s the writer’s attitude（态度）towards today’s sugar painting according to Paragraph 4?

A．

Uncaring.

B．

Doubtful.

C．

Worried.

D．

Unclear.

（5）Which can be a suitable title for the passage?

A．	Exploring the Art of Sugar Painting	B．	Improving the Taste of Sugar Painting
C．	Effects of the Sugar Producing Technology	D．	Ways to Change the Future of Sugar Painting

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Recently, I asked a seeing friend who had just walked in the woods what she had noticed. “Nothing special,” she replied.

How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me only through touch. If I can get so much pleasure from touch, how much more beauty must be found by sight（视力）? And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes for just three days.

On the first day, I should want to see the people who have made my life worth living and the books which have been read to me. In the afternoon, I should take a walk in the woods and admire the beauties of nature. That night, I should not be able to sleep.

On my second day, I should go to the museums to see man’s progress. I should try to explore the spirit of man through his art. In the evening, I should spend at the movies.

The following day, I should spend in the world of common people going about the business of life. At midnight permanent（永久的）night would close in on me again, and I should realize how much I had left unseen.

I who am blind can give one suggestion to those who see: Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be blind. The same is true of other senses. Hear the songs of birds, as if you would be deaf tomorrow. Smell the flowers, as if tomorrow you could never smell again…But of all the senses, I’m sure that sight must be the most pleasant.

（Adapted from “Three Days to See” by Helen Keller）

（1）What makes the writer start imagining the three days?

A．	Walking in the woods.	B．	Asking herself questions.
C．	Seeing natural beauty.	D．	Touching interesting things.

（2）What does the writer want to do during the three days?

A．	Read books to people on the first day.	B．	Go to the movies on the second day.
C．	Succeed in business on the third day.	D．	Have a wonderful dream every day.

（3）What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A．	A description of different senses.	B．	A method of living a pleasant life.
C．	Encouragement to the blind people.	D．	Advice to people without disabilities.

（4）Which is the best structure（结构）of the passage?

（①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2…）

A．

B．

C．

D．

（5）Which of the following sayings may the writer agree with?

A．	Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.
B．	Never leave until tomorrow what you can do today.
C．	Live every moment and be thankful for what you have.
D．	The future belongs to those who are preparing for it now.

Once a little weed（杂草）grew in a field. There were many tall and beautiful flowers around it. Lots of bees and butterflies came to them because of their nice smells and bright colours. The little weed wasn’t satisfied, because its flowers were tiny and simple.

One spring morning, three children came to play in the field. “Let’s pick some flowers for our grandma!” said one. “That’s a good idea!” said another. “She will love all these bright and beautiful flowers!”

“What about that one?” the youngest child said, pointing at the little weed. “Forget it!” laughed the oldest brother. “That’s just a useless weed!”

Hearing this, the little weed felt even worse. “Am I really useless?” it asked itself. “Why was I put on the Earth?”

In winter, all flowers were gone, only the little weed stood alone in the field. Just at that time, it noticed some birds coming above the field. “We are hungry!” they shouted. The little weed felt sorry for the poor birds and called out to them, “Hey! Down here! I have pods（豆荚）that you can eat!”

“You’re so kind!” The birds ate up the seeds（种子）in the pods thankfully. “They’re delicious. We can’t find anything better than what you gave us!”

This made the little weed pleased and confident. “At last, I have found out what I am good for!” the little weed said.
