Our Science class was always full f things t d, but this prject was different. When I was 13, my Science teacher, Mr. Thmpsn, gave us a 16 prject. “Watch ne tree fr a mnth and write abut it,” he said. There were several trees behind ur building, and right away, I nticed the sad-lking maple tree. Its branches were mstly bare with nly ne red leaf 17 a little in the cl autumn wind. It seemed t be hlding nt life.
Every single afternn, I 18 set up my painting stand and gt my drawing bk ready. I really wanted t draw all the small changes f that leaf. Day by day, I saw its 19 red clur slwly becme lighter. The sides f the leaf started t curl, shwing that it was dying. On the twelfth day, a big rainstrm hit the city. Wrried, I ran t check n “my” tree. I was s 20 when I saw the leaf was gne. I almst gave up n the prject.
But just as I was abut t leave, I saw 21 truly great. Three tiny buds (芽) had grwn where the ld leaf used t be. They were small and weak, but they still brught 22 . Mr. Dnvan, the kind park gardener, saw my surprised lk. “Leaves dn’t really die. 23 , they fall t feed the earth, and new life may rise when spring cmes,” he said sftly and put an acrn in my hand. His wrds helped me get thrugh the lng, cld winter. I spent the rest f the seasn writing dwn all the interesting things abut the tree. I saw its rugh bark (树皮) give a hme t many insects. I nticed 24 squirrels run arund, hiding nuts under the tree.
When spring came, I saw a beautiful sight. New leaves grew n the maple tree and frm the acrn I planted. This experience taught me an imprtant lessn. Years later, when I 25 the natinal science cmpetitin, I thught f the tree. It made me realize that true strength lies in rising after every fall, just like the maple tree.

Frm red apples and yellw lemns t blueberries and green melns, fruit cmes in many different clurs. Why d different kinds f fruit have s many clurs?
Accrding t Lu Wei frm the Chinese Academy f Sciences, fruit clurs in fact cme frm their different pigments (色素), such as red r yellw cartenid (类胡萝卜素) and blue r purple anthcyanin (花青素). These pigments appear in different amunts, depending n the fruit’s envirnment. This causes the fruit t turn a certain clur.
T find ut hw the envirnment affects fruit clurs, Chinese scientists studied mre than 280 different fruit clurs, including white, red, blue, purple and black.
They fund that red fruit always grws in cl places. Instead f just grwing in ne place, yu can find it grwing in many places arund the wrld. Blue and purple fruit mstly grws in warm places. It grws a lt in just ne specific area. The scientists als fund that the clser the fruit is t the equatr (赤道), the darker its clur will be.
Animals have als had an impact n the evlutin (进化) f fruit clurs. Animals eat fruit and then drp the seeds in ther places later. This helps the fruit spread and grw in different places. T attract animals, sme fruit develps clurs that are easy fr animals t see.
Hwever, animals see clurs differently. Fruit needs t develp clurs that are suited t animals’ visual abilities. Fr example, birds can see red mre easily than humans can. Therefre, there tends t be mre red fruit in areas where birds live. The lemurs f Madagascar are red-green clur-blind. Many yellw fruit can be fund in their habitats, as they can easily see this clur.
32.Why d different kinds f fruit have different clurs?
A. Because they grw in different cuntries.
B. Because they have different amunts f pigments.
C. Because they need different kinds f anthcyanin.
D. Because they cntain different kinds f cartenid.
33.Yu are mre likely t find blue and purple fruit in ________ places.
A. clB. warmC. highD. lw
34.Sme fruit develps clurs t ________.
A. take in mre sunlightB. make animals g away
C. attract animals t eat themD. prtect themselves frm danger
35.What can we learn frm the passage?
A. Red fruit ften grws in warm places.
B. Birds can see red mre easily than humans can.
C. Fruit f light clurs tends t grw clse t the equatr.
D. Chinese scientists studied five fruit clurs in the study.

Saturn (土星) is famus fr the beautiful rings arund it. Nw, it’s getting attentin fr being even mre amazing. Scientists have discvered 128 new mns arund Saturn, bringing the planet’s ttal t 274. A mn is any naturally frmed bject that mves arund a planet. Mns cme in different shapes and sizes.
Scientists discvered the mns with a pwerful telescpe (望远镜), which is used t study stars and planets in great detail. Scientists tk many phts f areas in space and piled them n tp f each ther t make the mns appear bright enugh t discver.
Mst f Saturn’s new mns are small bjects, just ne r tw miles wide—quite different t Earth’s Mn, which is a 2,159-mile-wide ball. These space rcks are in unusual rbits (轨道) t. They g arund Saturn in the ppsite directin t its wn mvement. At between 6.5 millin and 18 millin miles away frm the ringed planet, the newly discvered mns are als further away than Saturn’s biggest mn, Titan.
Why des Saturn have s many mns while Earth nly has ne? Accrding t scientists, several billin years ag, the giant planet’s gravity attracted sme rcks and ice. Over time, sme f them crashed against each ther, breaking int smaller pieces r cming tgether t create many small mns.
The new mns were first discvered in 2023 by a team f scientists led by Edward Ashtn, and were recently cnfirmed by the Internatinal Astrnmical Unin (IAU). Saturn nw is the planet with the mst mns—Jupiter is nt far behind with 95. Hwever, Dr Ashtn believes this might be the limit fr mn discvery. “I dn’t think Jupiter will ever catch up,” he said. “With present technlgy, I dn’t think we can d better than what has already been dne,” he added.
36.What d we knw abut the new discvery?
A. Newly fund mns lk the same.
B. Scientists fund new mns by accident.
C. Saturn’s rings attract many scientists.
D. 128 new mns were fund arund Saturn.
37.What des “the ringed planet” in Paragraph 3 refer t?
A. Earth.B. Saturn.C. Mn.D. Titan.
38.What led t the large number f Saturn’s mns?
A. The size f the planet.B. The weights f the mns.
C. The rbit f the planet.D. The crashes f the mns.
39.What can we learn frm Dr Ashtn’s wrds in the last paragraph?
A. Jupiter will sn catch up with Saturn.
B. Saturn’s new mns might supprt life.
C. The IAU presented a medal t his team.
D. He is satisfied with their mn discvery.
40.Hw des the writer rganize the passage?
A. By telling a stry abut Saturn’s mns discvery.
B. By listing numbers and making cmparisns (对比).
C. By asking questins and giving answers all the way.
D. By quting authrity (权威) qutes frm many scientists.

Have yu ever seen capybara (水豚)? They were thught t be a kind f pig in the past, but nw we knw that they are the largest rdents (啮齿动物) n earth. Guess what? They are new stars n scial media nw!
Seeing them in the wild, yu might be surprised at first because they are similar t giant guinea pigs, which are in fact ne f their clsest relatives. Capybaras’ bdies are cvered in reddish-brwn fur. When swimming arund, thanks t their small eyes, nses and hairless ears which are high n their heads, they’ re able t see the abve-water things arund them. That’s why they can prtect themselves frm danger easily. A capybara weighs arund 50 kilgrams and it can grw t 1.5meters in length. Female capybaras are usually a little heavier than the males.
Mst f them can be fund in Suth America and like t stay in cmfrtable places with lts f water. Pantanal, the wrld’s largest freshwater wetland, is a perfect place fr them t live. Capybaras usually eat grass. But they smetimes eat their wn pp because it is helpful fr them t get all the things they need.
Capybaras are gd swimmers and lve t play with water. They usually live in grups f 10 t 20 (and up t 100 during the dry seasn). They als like chatting with each ther very much. They express themselves by making different kinds f sunds, including purring, barking, whistling, cackling and grunting. Each sund has an imprtant meaning, frm warning the grup f danger t sending signals f leaving. It’s like a capybara language.
With gd persnalities, capybaras have becme increasingly ppular n scial media. They get alng with almst all the ther animals and share their hmes with birds and turtles, just like a big animal family living tgether peacefully. They are calm and dn’t really care abut what ges n arund them. Other animals can d whatever they feel like if they dn’t hurt the capybaras. But if capybaras realize a risk, they may attack thers t prtect themselves.
