Well, if size has anything to do with the matter, the tiger would win. Thats because the tiger is the largest member of the cat family. It’s also 29 largest land meat-eater, after the polar bear and the brown bear. You might not think, 30 large animals need help to survive, but they do. Tigers are in danger and interestingly, humans, who are a lot smaller and lighter, are their 31 enemies. They’ve caused the population of tigers to fall mainly in two ways: hunting, and taking away their land.

He can paint photos and make his paintings look like the real ones. The old saying “I’ll believe it when I see it.” doesnt seem to fit Kims artworks. You stare at his paintings for hours and may not tell them apart from photos. Kim is so good at what he does that. Sometimes, he himself has trouble telling his paintings from the photos that inspired him. Most of Kims paintings are about insects. The artist has been interested in insects since very young, keeping them in his room and painting them. Unluckily, his parents didn’t want him to stick to art, worrying that he would not be able to get a good job. Kim was so upset that he began to get into fights and waste his time in high school. Two years later, his family finally gave in and allowed him to do what he wanted. It turns out that Kim’s parents made the right decision. Not only does Kim get to make a living by doing what he loves, but he has become one of the worlds most famous hyper-realistic painters, making between ＄10,000 and ＄130,000 per art work. However, Kim is never completely satisfied with his work. He still tries his best to be better himself. ( )39. What is Kim good at? A. Special talent. B. Painting photos. C. Taking photos. D.

But in China, I rarely (很少地) see people reading during their free time. Are people’s attitudes toward reading different here? Not really. Data released by Amazon China in December 2017 show that Chinese people still read a lot. They simply prefer e-books over regular books. However, other data show that reading is still more popular in the US than in China. Is there a reason for this difference? I’m not sure. What I do know is that China has a rich history of literature (文学). From classic novels like Romance of the Three Kingdoms (三国演义) to the modern science-fiction epic The Three-Body Problem (三体), Chinese authors have created many fantastic written works. Perhaps the difference starts from childhood. Reading textbooks and doing homework can make you feel quite tired. By the time you finish it, you might not feel like reading for fun. Chinese students definitely (肯定) have to do more homework than US students. So it’s no wonder that they might not want to read much in their spare time. But learning to love reading can be great. Reading can open doors to places, people and ideas that you can’t imagine. Even just a single book has the power to change your own personal beliefs and attitudes. Where will your next book take you? ( )43. From Paragraph 1, what do we know about people in the US? A. Most people take public transportation to work. B. Students have homework to do on their way to school. C. Many of them have the habit of reading. D. They read books that are left behind on public transportation. ( )44. Which of the following is TRUE? A. Chinese peoples attitudes toward reading have changed. B. Chinese people prefer e-books to regular books. C. Chinese people don’t read in their spare time. D. More books were published in 2016 than in 2017. ( )45. Why is reading less popular in China, according to the author? A. Chinese people prefer to watch plays instead of reading. B. It’s hard to choose what to read. C. Chinese people already read enough books during their childhoods. D. People’s childhood experiences may influence their reading habits. ( )46. According to the author, reading books can _____. A. help you learn more about yourself B. take too much of your time C. make your imagination more powerful D. change your view of the world C You Can Make a Windsock ribbon knot string Have you ever seen a windsock(风筒) blowing in the wind? Well, you can make one of your own! This is a fun project that you can do with things you may have. You just need to follow a few easy steps. You will need: ●one piece of heavy colored paper ●five ribbons ●strong tape ●a string ●a pencil tube What to do: Step 1: Draw pictures on the paper. You can write your name on it. Do anything that will make it special to you. Step 2: Make the paper into the shape of a tube. Hold one of the shorter edges(边缘) over the other. Then make them together with the tape at each end and in the middle. Step 3: Use a pencil to make a hole into both sides of the tube. The holes should be only on one end of the tube. Pull the string through both holes. Then tie the ends of the string together. Step 4: Now make five holes around the top of the other end of the tube.Put a ribbon through each of the holes. Tie a knot in the ends. Make sure the knots are bigger than the holes. Now your windsock is ready to use, but how does it work? The shape of the tube plays an important part. Wind blows through the tube and makes it fly and dance around. Hold the windsock up in the air by its string and run around. It will fly behind you. You can also hang it outside and watch it dance around on its own! ( )47.You can in Step one.

D The idea that red means stop and green means to go has influenced our lives in more ways than just traffic signals(信号).We have been told from a young age that the color red means danger and green means its okay to move forward. 50 For something we have to look at every day, why couldnt they have been prettier colors? Well, its important to know that before traffic lights for cars, there were traffic signals for trains. At first, railway companies use red to mean stop, white to mean go and green to mean warn. As you could imagine trains ran into a few problems with white meaning go. For example, one train mistook a bright star for white light and something unexpected happened. 51 And its been that way ever since. Red has always been a colour that meant danger, long before cars were even around. This most likely started because its the color with the longest wavelength (波长) so it can be seen somewhere farther than other colors. 52 Back in the 1900th, some stops signs were yellow because it was too hard to see a red sign in a poorly lit area. Finally, highly reflective materials, were developed and red stop signs were born. 53 School zones, some traffic signs and school buses continued to be painted yellow. So next time you’re impatiently waiting at the traffic light, dont get so mad at them, they’ve certainly come a long way. 根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项。 A. Because of that, railway company finally moved green meaning go and used yellow to mean warn. B. Since yellow can be seen well at all times of the day. C. But why were those colors chosen for traffic lights in the first place? D. Colours are very important in our daily life. E. But, believe it or not, y
