How It Feels to Float ---by Helena Fox
If you are looking for a moving story that explores themes of mental illness,grief(悲痛), and love, pick up a copy of How It Feels to Float and follow Biz as she comes of age. This moving novel will stay with you long after you finish reading it.

Forest of a Thousand Lanterns-----by Julie C. Dao
The first book in the Rise of the Empress series takes the bones of a traditional fairy tale---a poor girl fated to have power, an evil queen determined to stop her, love for someone who doesn’t love back and magic---and gives you a richly imagined East Asian setting.

Along the river banks of the Amazon and the Orinoco there lives a bird that swims before it can fly, flies like a fat chicken, eats green leaves, has the stomach of a cow and has claws (爪) on its wings when young. They build their homes about 4.6m above the river, an important feature (特征) for the safety of the young. It is called the hoatzin.
In appearance, the birds of both sexes look very much alike with brown on the back and cream and red on the underside. The head is small, with a large set of feathers on the top, bright red eyes, and blue skin. Its nearest relatives are the common birds, cuckoos. Its most striking feature, though, is only found in the young.
Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of each wing tip. Using these four claws, together with the beak (喙), they can climb about in the bushes, looking very much like primitive birds must have done. When the young hoatzins have learned to fly, they lose their claws.
During the drier months between December and March hoatzins fly about the forest in groups of 20 to 30 birds, but in April, when the rainy season begins, they collect together in smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing purposes.
24．What is the text mainly about?
A．Primitive birds and hoatzins of the Amazon.
B．The appearance and living habits of hoatzins.
C．Hoatzins in dry and rainy seasons.
D．The relatives and enemies of hoatzins.
25．Young hoatzins are different from their parents in that _______ ．
A．they eat a lot like a cow B．they live on river banks
C．they look like young cuckoos D．they have claws on the wings
26．What can we infer about primitive birds from the text?
A．They had four wings like hoatzins. B．They had a head with long feathers on the top.
C．They had claws to help them climb. D．They could fly long distances.
27．Why do hoatzins collect together in smaller groups when the rainy season comes?
A．To keep themselves warm. B ．To produce their young.
C．To find more food. D ．To protect themselves better.

"What kind of rubbish are you?" This question might normally cause anger, but in Shanghai it has become a special "greeting" among people over the past week. On July 1st, the city introduced strict trash-sorting regulations（条例)that are required to follow and expected to be used as a model for our country. Residents must divide their waste into four separate categories and toss （投放）it into specific public dustbins. They must do so at specified times, when monitors are present to ensure correct trash-tossing and to ask the nature of one's rubbish. Individuals who fail to follow the regulations face the possibility of fines and worse. They could be punished with fines of up to 200 yuan （$ 29）. For those who repeat to go against them, the government can add black marks to their credit records, making it harder for them to get bank loans or even buy train tickets.
Shanghai government is responding to an obvious environmental problem. It generates 9 million tons of garbage a year, more than London's annual output, which is rising quickly. But like other cities in China, it lacks a recycling system. Instead, it has relied on trash pickers to sift（筛选）through the waste, picking out whatever can be reused. This has limits. As people get wealthier, fewer of them want to do such dirty work. The waste, meanwhile, just keeps piling up.
Many residents appear to support the idea of recycling in general but are annoyed by the details. Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food, recyclable, dry or harmful, the distinctions among which can be confusing, though there are apps to help work it out. Some have complained about the rules concerning food waste. They must put it straight in the required public bins, forcing them to tear open plastic bags and toss it by hand. What they complain most is the short periods for dropping trash, typically a couple of hours, morning and evening. Along with the monitors at the bins, this means that people go at around the same time and can keep an eye on what is being thrown out； no one wants to look bad.
28.What do we know about the trash-sorting regulations in Shanghai?
A. They are the first of their kind. B. They are tied to one's bank account.
C. They have the highest fines. D. They're aided by monitors.
29.Why has Shanghai introduced the trash-sorting regulations?
A. There are fewer and fewer trash pickers.
B. It aims to build a new recycling system.
C. It faces more and more serious garbage problems.
D. People throw the rubbish here and there.
30.What makes the residents upset most about the regulations?
A. Limited time for tossing the trash.
B. Confusing distinction among the categories of trash.
C. Being fined due to improper behavior.
D. Being watched by monitors when throwing the garbage.
31.What can be the best title for the text?
A. A Good Way of Trash-sorting
B. A New Era of Garbage Classification
C. A Great Time in Dealing with Litter
D. An Effective Solution to Rubbish Problem
D
Don’t like the seeds in your tomatoes? You might be pleased to know that seedless ones have been created by gene editing.
This could create a wide range of seedless fruits, but few may ever be seen in the supermarket if regulators decide to treat gene –edited crops in the same way as genetically engineered(转基因的) ones.
Several seedless fruits, from bananas to grapes, are already available, but have mostly appeared by luck rather than design. And although there are a few seedless varieties of tomatoes, they’ve taken researchers many years to create.
Now it can be done very quickly, as Keishi Osakabe at Tokushima University in Japan has shown. His team used the CRISPR gene-editing technology to make fruits develop even though no seeds had begun to form. ” We haven’t tasted them yet, but in theory they should taste the same,” says Osakabe.
There have been a few efforts to create seedless tomatoes using earlier genetic engineering techniques. These methods take longer time compared with CRISPR.
Some “seedless” fruits just have very small seeds, and still require pollination(授粉). But completely seedless fruits like the edited tomatoes do not require pollination at all. Such plants could improve food security by reducing our reliance on smaller bee populations, says Saul Cunningham at the Australian National University. Many fruit growers buy bees to pollinate their crops.
There is a deficiency for farmers, however. Seedless plants usually have to be grown from cuttings, which involves more labor than planting seeds.
CRISPR could be used to develop other types of fruit that don’t require pollinators, as well as introduce beneficial mutations(突变)， says Osakabe.
But to make it on to the supermarket, gene-edited plants may have to meet the same standards as genetically engineered plants, which would greatly increase costs. Some argue that since gene editing is used to introduce mutations already found in some of the plants we eat, it should not require such strict regulations.
32. What has been the problem with seedless tomatoes created in the past?
A . Their taste was not very good.
B . They still had a few big seeds.
C . Their genes could not be recognized.
D . They took quite a long time to create.
33. What did Keishi Osakabe’s team do?
A . They edited tomatoes’ genes.
B . They changed the taste of tomatoes.
C . They made seedless bananas and grapes.
D . They created genetically engineered tomatoes.
34. Why is CRISPR better than previous methods?
A . It will still require pollination.
B . It will remain unaffected without bees.
C . It will reduce people’s reliance on food security.
D . It will make many growers buy bees for pollination.
35. What does the underlined word “deficiency” in Paragraph 7 probably mean?
A . danger B. disadvantage C. benefit D. solution

“Why do I have to go to bed?” you ask. “Sleep is boring, and I'm not even tired!” 
36 Maybe you can think of a time when you didn't get enough sleep. That feeling is 
awful and, when you feel that way, you're not at your best. So if you're not too tired, let's 
talk about sleep.
___37___There's school, taking care of your pets, running around with friends, going to sports practice or other activities, and doing your homework. It's tiring just writing it all down.By the end of the day, your body needs a break. Sleep allows your body to rest for the next day  38_____Even your dog or cat curls up for naps. Animals sleep for the same reason you do—to give your body a tiny vacation. 
____39_____Though no one is exactly sure what work the brain does when you're asleep, some scientists think that the brain sorts through and stores information, replaces chemicals, and solves problems while you sleep. Most kids between 5 and 12 get about 9.5 hours a night, but experts agree that most need 10 or 11 hours each night. Sleep is an individual thing and some kids need more than others. 
One more reason to get enough sleep: ___40_____That’s right ,researchers believe too little sleep can affect growth and your immune system--which keeps you from getting sick.
A. The average kid has a busy day. 
B. If you don't, you may not grow as well. 
C. Everything that's alive needs sleep to survive. 
D. Sleep enhances memory and improves attention. 
E. But sleep is more important than you may think. 
F. When your body doesn't have enough hours to rest, you may feel tired.
G.. Not only is sleep necessary for your body, it is important for your brain,too.

Dear Leslie，
I’m glad to receive your email. You asked me to share with you what I was doing in the pandemic situation. Here are my experiences.
After the outbreak of COVID-19, I spent my entire winter vacation staying at home. On the one hand, I paid close attention to the pandemic situation through watching CCTV news or surfing the Internet. On the other hand, I insisted on studying. Not only did I read classics, but also I had online courses given by my teachers. Besides, I took exercise every day to keep healthy. Faced with the disaster, many people including doctors, nurses and scientists have acted bravely and spared no effort to fight against it. They are real heroes.
Thank you for your concern. I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
