I’m Black Beauty, a male horse. Before I was taken to Mr Gordon, my mother Duchess spoke to me, “All young horses have to leave mothers. Whatever happens, try to be gentle and stay away from bad behaviours.”

Then I came to Mr Gordon’s house.

In the stable(马厩) next to mine was a little fat grey horse.

I put my head up and said, “Nice to meet you! What’s your name?” He seemed unhappy. “I’m Merrylegs. You are my neighbour?”

I said yes.

“Well,” he continued, “I hope you are well-behaved. I don’t like anyone who bites people.” Then he went on, “Mr Gordon should be the best owner!”

A tall brown female horse shouted at him, “No one knows how long a good home will last!”

Merrylegs lowered his voice and whispered, “She’s Ginger with a bad habit of biting people.”

The angry voice came again, “You don’t know anything! ________ you would bite too.”

“Poor Ginger! What made her so unhappy?” I thought to myself.

The next day when I worked with Ginger, she told the whole story.

“I was taken away early from Mother and there was no kind master to look after me. My training started with several men forcing me against a wall. One held my nose and another pulled my mouth open to put a bit(马嚼子) in. They never gave me a chance to understand what they wanted.”

“How could that be?” I said.

“After the training, I was sold to a man in London, who drove me with a bearing rein(缰绳) . It is a kind of rein that pulls your neck all the way back. Imagine your neck on fire with pain?”

“Horrible!” I cried.

“After that, a gentleman found me and he thought that it was wrong for a fine horse to go bad like that. So I was brought here, not long before you came. We are lucky here, at least they treat us gently,” Ginger said.

I felt sorry about her painful experiences which showed exactly why she bit(咬) people. “She was rude to people but she couldn’t be that way always. What can I do for her? I couldn’t stop thinking about it.”

——Adapted from Black Beauty

Can you imagine a world without insects? Without ants or flies in your house, it might sound great. However, the results may be out of imagination.

The number of insects has dropped by half in the past few years, according to a British biologist Dave Coulson. You may think small insects are not important. But in fact they are the main part of the species(物种)on Earth.

Insects are indeed on the way to extinction, according to the first review of insect population. The researchers say the main reason for this is the use of pesticides(杀虫剂)because they destroy insects’ living areas. Also, weather change is another important cause.

“Unless we change our ways of producing food, insects will go down the way to extinction in a few years,” the researchers wrote in the review. “This will have huge influences on the planet’s ecosystem(生态系统).”

We need insects to pollinate(授粉)crops. They also break down(分解)dead plants and animals, which can keep the soil healthy. Without insects, many animals would have nothing to eat and die of hunger. Then, the ecosystem would be off balance.

“If the number of insect species keep dropping, this will have bad influences on both Earth’s ecosystem and the survival of us humans,” said one of the writers of the review.

“The first step to stop this is to let more people understand the values of the natural world,” he suggests. “The best place to start is from our children, who should realize environmental protection from an early age.”

38. The underlined word “extinction” means “________”.

A. pollution B. death C. harm D. protection

39. Paragraph 5 is mainly about ________.

A. the reason for producing food B. the problem of animals and plants

C. the way to keep soil healthy D. the importance of insects

40. From the passage, we can know ________.

A. insects may destroy the balance of the ecosystem

B. ants and flies are the main part of the species on Earth

C. humans’ actions influence the number of insects

D. weather change has little influence on insects

Have you ever tasted a kind of snack which is also of the traditional Chinese of forms of art—sugar painting.

Sugar painting started from the Ming Dynasty and became popular in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, many people made a living through sugar painting, setting up stalls(货摊)in crowded streets, in front of theatres and busy public places. And now it can still be found in many areas of China.

The sugar painters usually sit before a wooden table. On the side, there is a wooden plate with a revolvable arrow(可旋转箭头)on it. The plate is painted with different pictures such as a dragon, a bird, a flower and so on. After paying, the customers turn the arrow and wait till it stops. The picture pointed by the arrow is the one the painters will make.

Sugar painting is very different from normal painting. The sugar painters use syrup(糖浆)as the material, a spoon as the “paintbrush”, and a smooth slab(台面)as the “paper”. To make the syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. Since the syrup may become solid(固体的)if it cools, the painters have to produce the work very quickly. They move the spoon full of the syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting of an animal, a flower or a bike is done.

The number of sugar painters is getting smaller. However some of them still insist on this art. They make their efforts to hold different activities such as offering classes and giving speeches. Now, sugar painting has already been listed as National Non-Material Culture Heritage.

根据上面短文的内容回答问题（每个答案不超过6个单词）

61. Did sugar painting become popular in the Ming Dynasty?

____________________________________________________________

62. Where do the sugar painters usually sit?

63. When do the customers turn the arrow?

Is your house full of clutter（杂物）which seems useful but you never use? Do you feel crazy when you can’t find something you want standing in a messy room? Items satisfy you but at the same time too many of them may also trouble you. Many people feel stressed by the amount of things they have. But it doesn’t have to be that way. With a little bit of organization and planning on decluttering（清理）, you can create a comfortable space.

Start early. If you wait until the weekend to start, you’re not going to make much progress. You’d better start right now. The earlier you start, the more organized you will be during the decluttering.

Keep your eyes on one room at a time. This will help your mind stay clear during a certain period of time. Start with the room that needs the most attention. If you have a lot of clutter in the room, start from smaller areas like your desk, since breaking down the huge task into smaller goals can reduce much stress in your mind.

Donate unwanted items. Decluttering can make your life easy especially when you have unwanted items. You can donate them to someone who really needs them. It makes your home tidier. And more importantly, it also makes those items go exactly to the right person instead of staying useless in your house.

Classify（归类）the items. This follows donation. After classifying your things, an important part which can’t be left over is to label（贴标签）the box. On the label, write the type of the items and the place it should be put in. Yes, it takes extra time, but you’ll be thankful soon after your items go to correct places, which helps you find what you need easily next time.

Don’t decide everything now. Decluttering does make your house look better. But if you try to declutter every little thing in your house, the result may not satisfy you. Once you are not sure whether something still works for you, but you really like it, it’s OK to keep it. Don’t over declutter and end up with buying them again.

根据上面短文内容填空（每空不限一词）

66. The passage offers us five ________ on decluttering to help us create ________.

67. If you decide to declutter your items, you’d better ________ instead of waiting. Moreover, you will feel __________ if you break down the huge task.

68. When you label the box, the type of the items should ________ on the label. Though you need to spend _________ on it, you’ll be thankful later.

69. You are advised to ________ too much decluttering. Otherwise, you may not be ________ with the result.

70. This passage tells us how to deal with the items in the house. First, you can give ________ to someone in need and then put ________ items in order.
