There are different types of maps. Let’s have a look at their uses, and you will get more knowledge.                              

Tourist maps, for example, have signs to show places of interest in an area. When tourists read these maps, it is easy for them to find where to go and what to see in a place, and it is easy for them to find their ways to these places.

Road maps show large areas so that people can plan long routes. Different roads have different numbers. For example, if you want to go to Wood Green, you just follow the No. 621 Road and keep looking at the road signs.

Distribution maps use different colors or signs to show facts about an area. For example, in this map, you can see where the four kinds of agricultural products (农产品) are grown in Lake- side and how big each area is.

Some maps like railway maps use straight lines to show everything. This is easy for people to read. Trains are fast. People just need to know main places they go past.

From “pull someone's leg” to “be caught red-handed", English has many “body-part” idioms (习语). How many of them have you learned? Do you know how they came into being?

Back in the 18th century, it was popular to have your portrait (肖像) painted. The cost depended on how many arms and legs were to be painted. The cheapest choice was to have only your head and shoulders painted. The price increased as the picture became larger to include your arms and legs. Now, can you guess the meaning of "cost an arm and a leg"?

The idiom "pull someone's leg" came from the approach used by street thieves in London. Usually, the thieves worked in pairs. One of them used a rope to "pull" a person. The other thief then robbed (抢劫) the person as he or she lay on the ground. Today, nobody is likely to pull your leg with a rope. But you should still watch out. Someone might be thinking about pulling your leg by playing a trick on you!

Where there were bad guys, there should be laws. But the law that gave birth to the idiom “be caught red-handed” wasn't created in London. A few hundred kilometers away, in Scotland, anyone who killed a stolen animal would be punished. However, that person had to be caught "red-handed"-with the animal's blood still on his or her hands.

The idiom “give someone the cold shoulder” has something to do with an English custom. At the end of a party, the host would serve a cold cut of beef. This was not a direct way of telling the guests that they should leave. So if someone gives you the cold "shoulder", you will have to walk away.

31. Which portrait might be the most expensive in the 18th century?

   A.                      B.                 C.       D.

32. What does the underlined word "approach" in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Coin.    B. Way.      C. Rope.        D. Language.

33. Which idiom has to do with the law?

A. Cost an arm and a leg.      B. Pull someone's leg.

C. Be caught red-handed.      D. Give someone the cold shoulder.

34. Why did the host serve a cold cut of beef to the guests?

A. To share the food they like.     B. To tell the guests to leave.

C. To show their kindness.     D. To make the party perfect.

35. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

D

Huang Yu's beloved cat Dasuan died. Huang was quite sad.      36     Huang got a new cat that looks almost the same as Dasuan, thanks to cloning (克隆) technology.

     37      The cat was born inside a lab owned by company in Beijing. To clone the cat, the company’s experts took cells (细胞) from Dasuan and created an embryo(胚胎). Then they put it into a cat mother.

     38      In 2001, the world’s first cloned cat was born in the US. In 2005, the world’s first cloned dog was born in South Korea. Since cats have unique reproductive features(繁殖特征)，they are more difficult to clone.

     39      Though the cloned pets copy the dead pet’s appearance, they have different characters. That's why pet owners have different opinions about this. Some pet lovers like Huang think a cloned pet is a good replacement (替代品) for their dead pets. But others worry that having the same appearance but a different personality will lead to more pain in the long run. Knowing this, the company says it hopes to use AI and other technologies to move their memories to cloned pets in the future.

Moreover, scientists think cloned pets aren’t as healthy as naturally born pets.      40      

Some animal lovers think cloning pets is unacceptable because a large number of stray animals (流浪动物) still need homes. They say there is no need to clone.

A

阅读下列文本，完成61至65小题。（共10分）

Where do the colors of your clothes come from? The answer is dye (染料). The clothes we wear these days are mainly dyed with chemicals in factories. But in the past, people did this by hand and the dyes often came from plants. In 2006, the tie-dye technique (扎染技艺) was added to China's national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) list.

Yang Cheng, 52, is the inheritor (传承人) of tie-dye in An’ning, Yunnan. He learned the skill from his mother in the 1980s. And he has passed it down to his daughter.

Yang has known about all the old skills of tie-dye. To tie-dye, you first need to use threads(线) to tie your cloth together. Then you put the cloth into the dye. As the cloth is folded and dyed, some parts become dark blue, while other parts have a lighter color. When you unfold the cloth, you'll see beautiful patterns.

At the same time, Yang has studied tie-dye in other countries, such as Japan, India and France. He also tries to make some creative designs.

He once made two sets of tie-dyed wedding dresses. He used almost all the skills of An'ning tie-dye. Some patterns on the dresses are traditional such as small fish roes (鱼卵), while others are modern. He added Dianchi Lake and eight popular flowers in Yunnan. Now, Yang teaches tie-dye in schools, communities and companies. More than 100,000 people have learned the skill from him, he said.

Some might worry that the machinery dyeing will take the place of tie-dye. But Yang is confident. "At the end of the day, machines can't replace our creative hands," Yang said.

61. Where did the dyes of the clothes come from in the past?

62. How long has the tie-dye technique been added to national intangible cultural heritage list?

63. How did Yang Cheng learn tie-dye?

64. What makes each piece of cloth have different colors?（2分）

65. What did Yang Cheng add on the modern wedding dresses?（2分）
