From the introduction above, we can NOT know.A. how tall Optimus is and how fast he can walkhow heavy Optimus is and what he is likeB. what Optimus can do and where it was madeCI grew up in the countryside. I didn't understand what it brought to me until I became an adult. It helped me learn more practical skills （实践技能）than those who grew up in cities.The first skill I learnt was cooking. Since my parents often came home late and a prepared meal would help them have supper soon I learned to make dough （面团）at around 10 years old. It sounds easy but very difficult to do. However, it didn't take too long for me to find the right way. A year after that, I learned to cook different things like noodles and dumplings. I fell in love with cooking because it's really relaxing. More importantly, thanks to my cooking skill, I live better during the pandemic （疫T青）because I cook every meal instead of ordering online. It saves money and I don't have to wait for drivers to feed me.©Besides cooking, I did a lot of farm work in my childhood. I got to know how to plant vegetables. Though it was hard work, the experience did teach me things. For example, I learned that the fruits of peanut （花生）and ginger （生姜）plants grow under the earth. Also, the truth of happiness sometimes comes from learning firsthand （直接地）. You'll treasure everything on your plate.The practical skills I learned not only improve my self-care ability but also provide me with a new way to look at the world. So when I heard in China students in primary and middle school will have at least one class every week to learn some skills like cooking and cleaning, I was much too happy. Trust me. The labor education will help you for the rest of your life.5. According to the passage, the writer learned the following skills EXCEPT.A. cooking skillsB. cleaning skillsC. planting skillsWhich one is TRUE according to Paragraph Two?A. It took the writer a long time to learn to make dough.B. Since the writer was 10, he has been in love with cooking.C. During the pandemic, the writer cooks by himself every day.6. What didn't the writer learn from farm work?A. Knowledge about differences between farms.B. The truth of happiness.C. The importance of saving food.7. What is the structure （结构）of the passage?10. What does the writer think of labor education?He thinks that students will be happy with the coming labor education.A. He believes that labor education is quite needed among students.B. He isn't very sure of the future use of labor education for pupils.In most situations, light helps us see. But these days humans are using too much of it so that it becomes in fact a kind of pollution.According to a scientific research, about 2,500 stars can be seen by the human eye. But because of light pollution, you can only see 200 to 300 stars from today's countryside, and no more than ten stars from a city. In most big cities, people cannot see the sky full of stars like they did in their childhood.Light pollution influences （影响）more than that. Research shows that lots of nighttime light has a bad influence on wildlife, too. When birds fly to another place over cities, they sometimes get lost by the brightness and fly around until they drop from tiredness. Sea turtles （海龟）need dark beaches for laying eggs, but they can't find their ideal places because of those bright lights. Too much light at night may even influences human health, but scientists are not sure of how it works on human body. They are still learning more.In order to stop things from going worse, governments and organizations are working to reduce light pollution. Many cities and towns have done something to reduce the use of lights at night. Lights are used only when and where they are truly needed. They also shine lights down at the ground instead of up into the sky and use less bright lights.Hopefully, in the near future, humans can enjoy the clear and beautiful sky again and all the wildlife will live a peaceful and uninfluenced life, too.11. According to the passage, what is the sky like in most big cities now?A. There are no stars in the sky at all.B. People can see 200 to 300 stars in the sky.C. No more than 10 stars can be seen in the sky.12. The influences of light pollution include. It's hard fbr sea turtles to find good places to lay eggs.Humans will probably find themselves in poor health under too much nighttime light.The stars we could see in the past is much fewer than today.©Birds can't even find their way with the brightness caused by too much nighttime light.A.B.C.The underlined word "reduce“ in Paragraph 5 probably means.A.减少B.解决C.禁止Which of the following is NOT mentioned （提到）in this passage?A. The problems that light pollution has caused.B. The reason why humans use too much light.C. The ways that light pollution can be reduced.13. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Light pollution.B. Nighttime light.C. Stop using light.第二节（共5小题；每题2分，总分值10分）阅读下面短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。每个选项仅使用一次。My class had a big history project about ancient civilizations （文明）recently.
