Stonehenge, an ancient circle of stones, is not only one of Britain’s most famous historical places but one of its greatest mysteries*. It is about 5000 years old, older than the pyramids of Giza. Every year, it attracts thousands of visitors to enjoy its beauty. They also wonder about how and why it was built.

The largest stones used to build Stonehenge weren’t from the area nearby. ______▲______. How did ancient people move these huge stones without machines to help them? No one knows the answer. But some people believe the stones were moved there in winter because the ground in winter in this area is usually full of ice and snow, making it easier to move the stones. And others think they were moved by boat, with the help of the nearby river Avon.

Why was Stonehenge built? Some scientists think ifs a burial* ground. There are 400 burial sites nearby and gold breastplates used in war have been found there. Others think Stonehenge was built by early astronomers*. Scientists believe that when a person stands in the center of Stonehenge, the change of seasons can be seen. Certain stones mark the location of the rising and setting moon in midwinter. Other stones mark the rising and setting sun in midsummer. Another popular idea is that Stonehenge was built for religious ceremonies. These ceremonies probably asked the gods to bring good weather for crops and to protect people from bad weather. No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for, but most agree the position of the stones must be for a special purpose.

In 2001, a group of volunteers from England tried to build another Stonehenge, but they couldn’t. “We don’t really know who built Stonehenge,” says Paul Stoker. “And perhaps we might never know, but we do know they must have been hard-working—and great planners!”

No matter how and why Stonehenge was built, it remains a mysterious man-ma&e wonder in the world.

49. Why do thousands of visitors come to visit Stonehenge every year?

A. To enjoy its beautiful sights.    B. To study how and why it was built.

C. To meet people who built it.    D. To move the stones in winter.

50. Which of the following can be put in __▲__ in the second paragraph?

A. The stones were huge and heavy and not easy to be used.

B. A large number of workers began to use the stones to build Stonehenge.

C. Each stone, weighing up to 50 tons, came from the place 200 kilometers away.

D. Without machines, it shows people could do many things with hands and brains.

51. Some scientists think that Stonehenge was a burial ground because ____________.

A. you can see the rising and setting moon there

B. the change of different seasons can be seen there

C. people asked the gods to protect them there

D. there are 400 burial sites near the Stonehenge

52. What’s the best title for this passage?

Six hours of walking in space! On August 20, 2021, Chinese astronauts Liu Boming and Nie Haisheng did the second spacewalk of the Shenzhou XII mission.They set up equipment and lifted a camera outside the Tiangong space station.

Spacewalks can be dangerous. There is no air in space, of course. And ifs filled with harmful radiation*. But the spacesuits*, although they are huge and heavy, can protect astronauts.

A spacesuit is like a small space station. It has everything astronauts need when they carry out a spacewalk. For example, China’s Feitian spacesuits have six layers*. The innermost* layer collects astronauts* urine*. Then there are another four layers that help control the temperature and air pressure inside the suit. Spacesuits are filled with air, so they look like they5re puffed up. The sixth layer is made of special fibers* that protect astronauts from radiation.

Astronauts are connected to the space station with safety ropes. The suit has headphones and speakers for astronauts to communicate. There is also a mirror on the wrist. Astronauts can check their suits by looking at it.

The first Feitian suit was made in 2008. Zhai Zhigang wore it to carry out China's first spacewalk for about 19 minutes. The suits Chinese astronauts wear today are the second generation* of Feitian. It can support walks as long as eight hours and can be used more often. The first generation could only be used five times within two years, while the second generation can be used 15 times within three years. Each suit costs around 30 million yuan and it takes four months to make just one!

53. What does the first layer of a spacesuit do?

A. It collects astronauts5 urine.    

B. It lowers the inside temperature.

C. It controls the outside air pressure.    

D. It takes pictures while astronauts walk.

54. Which of the following pictures can describe the underlined words “puffed up”?

55. How do spacesuits protect astronauts?

a. They provide astronauts with air to breathe.

b. They connect astronauts to the space station.

c. They help astronauts move freely and quickly.

d. They protect astronauts from harmful radiation.

A. ac    B.    ad    C. be    D.    cd

56. The writer wrote the last paragraph to __________.

A. list several kinds of expensive spacesuits

B. praise the inventor of the Feitian spacesuits

C. explain the difficulties of making spacesuits

D. show the development of Feitian spacesuits

There’s a small house I visit from time to time. Ifs not the house that is special, but the person who lives inside is important to me.

I met Miss C about 45 years ago when she was my sister’s kindergarten* teacher. I remember standing outside the classroom5looking into the window and wishing I was her student. Miss C created a safe place for her students and in her class, we could be whatever we wanted to be in that moment. I couldn’t remember how excited I was when my parents told me I could be her student when I was 4.

Since my childhood，I’ve always wanted to be a teacher like her. When I graduated，I couldn’t wait to invite Miss C to my classroom. She arrived one day, and I saw the happiness on my students5 faces when they sang the same songs that I sang with her as a child. As a new teacher，I was surprised at how she got along well with children. For years, Miss C volunteered in my classroom.

Over the years, we have shared almost everything in our life with each other.She asks me about my family and friends，and she tells me about hers.

Now I am here because I would like to help pack the things before she sells her house. I bring up boxes from her basement*. We go through every painting a student has given her，every thank-you note a parent has written to her.I find some papers with the letters and I find my own name printed in green marker. Suddenly, my mind goes back to Room 3.

More than 40 years ago, Miss C sat on a chair while my classmates and I sat at her feet. We learned about the letters and their sounds. Now, Miss C sits on her rocking chair, and I find myself sitting at her feet. We talk for hours. I listen carefully because I know I still have more to learn from her.

Our friendship is one that neither one of us expected. But now I always tell my students that the best friendships often start at school with either students or teachers.

Educators know teaching is a job to help the development of young children. The lucky ones get to see what their students have done with their hard work. The exceptional* ones never leave their students’ hearts.

57. What can we learn about the writer when she started kindergarten?

A. She found it hard to separate from her parents.

B. She didn’t like her teacher at first sight.

C. She did better than her sister in the kindergarten.

D. She enjoyed going to kindergarten very much.

58. The writer’s students felt _____________when Miss C volunteered in their class.

A. disappointed      B. happy    C. sad       D. worried

59. What is the writer’s purpose to write this passage?

A. To talk about the value of teachers.

B. To tell what she has learned from Miss C.

C. To describe her friendship with her teacher.

D. To explain why she wanted to be a teacher.

60. Do you think Miss C is important to the writer? Why or why not?

As we all know, flowers of different plants open and close at different time of day. It is so

familiar that there seems to be no need to ask the __66__ (原因) for it. Yet no one really understands why flowers open and close like this at special times. According to some recent __67__(实验).The process is not as __68__ (简单) as we might think.

Last year, there was a study about that. Scientists __69__ (种植，栽培）the flowers in constant* darkness. We might expect that the flowers, without any information about the time of day, did not open as they normally do. In fact, they __70__ (继续、to open at their usual time. This suggests that they have some mysterious way of knowing the time. Their sense of time does not depend on information from the outside world; it is，so to speak，inside them，a kind of “inner dock”.

This discovery may not seem to be very important. __71__ (然而), it was later found that not just plants but animals --- __72__ (包括)man---have this “inner clock” which controls the working of their bodies and influences their activities. Men, then，are also influenced by this mysterious power. Whether we wish it or not, it influences many things in our life, such as our need for sleep, our need for food and so on.

In the past, this did not matter very much because people lived in __73__ (大自然的)condition. In the modem world, things are different. Now there are spacemen, airplane pilots and a lot of people who have to work at __74__(午夜;子夜). It would be very useful to know more about the “inner clock5' Such ordinary things as flowers might help us understand more about __75__ (我们自己).

To: Li Hua

From: Tim

Dear Li Hua,

How is everything with you? Things are not going so well with me. I am having a hard time with my math. I feel sleepy in the math class. I didn't go anywhere far during my summer holiday. My father said it would be safer to stay at our community so my traveling plan for Christmas holiday has gone in the wind. How about you? Where did you go for your national holiday? What is your plan for your big holiday---the Spring Festival? I am looking forward to your reply.

Best wishes to you.

Yours,

Tim

From: Li Hua

Dear Tim,

Things are not bad here. During the national holiday, I visited The West Lake with my best friends. There were crowds of people visiting it. We enjoyed ourselves by going boating on the lake and enjoying lots of famous places of interest. As for the coming Spring Festival, I’m planning to learn some basic housework like cooking. I enjoy all kinds of dishes and I’d like to help out when my parents are busying with their work on weekdays. Besides, I’m going to get up early and do exercise with my family at the park every day. It’s really necessary for each of us to keep fit and healthy during this period. You mentioned that you were poor in math and didn’t show any interest in it. So I’d like offer you some useful ways and apps to you which may improve your math grade.

All the best!

Yours,

Li Hua

Dear Simon,

Glad to hear from you. As you know，it's wonderful news that the “double reduction” policy has been carried out. However, students have to face the new challenge of making the best use of their time after the policy.

     Thanks to the double reduction policy, the amount of homework is reduced greatly and students can finish homework more effectively. Also, students are expected to make good use of time at school. As is known, students aren’t allowed to take many after-school classes as they used to. As a result, they’re supposed to study hard on school days to get their grades improved. Besides, it is necessary to develop some healthy hobbies on weekends, such as playing basketball, collecting stamps, etc. What’s more, developing their independence by learning to do some basic housework is also a nice choice. Because of double reduction,students have less study pressure and more free time, they must learn some important life skills and be independent.

Yours,

Li Hua
