A Chinese man’s    1    (tradition) carpentry(木工手艺)skills have caught the eyes of many people on    2    Internet as he makes some objects out of a piece of wood for his grandson to play with.

Wang Dewen,    3    (wide) known as Grandpa Amu on YouTube, has been considered a modern-day Lu Ban,    4    is regarded as the best builder, the famous woodworker in China with the    5    (invent) of the saw(锯子).Wang’s most popular works include a folding chair and an apple-shaped puzzle.

Wang’s wonderful woodworking skills were developed as a way    6    (support) his family in Shandong. Wang left Shandong to live    7    his children two years ago, and began to make many    8    (toy) for his young grandson. Soon his son    9    (decide) to film Wang’s efforts.

“We came up with this idea of making the videos because we wanted to bring    10    (we) rural culture to others and let more people learn about these old Chinese techniques,” said his son.

6 . In a room at Stanford University, scientists are studying a small animal called a gecko (壁虎)．It’s a(n)__________animal because it can move very quickly up and down a tree and even upside down on ceilings (天花板). The scientists are particularly __________the gecko’ s feet. They want to use the__________design on a metal robot that looks like the gecko. It has four feet and can walk up walls made of glass or plastic, __________it still has trouble walking upside down.

Animals and plants can__________humans a lot. As a result, many engineers, scientists, and designers spend time__________them. When they have a problem, nature often has the__________. This science is called biomimetics. Bio means “living things”and mimetics means “copying”. In other words, scientists—or biomimeticists-study animals and plants in order to__________their design.

For example, engineers in Canada are studying whale flippers (鲸鱼的鳍) because they move so__________through water. The engineers believe the shape can__________the movement of wind turbines (风力机). Similarly, engineers at Mercedes-Benz in Germany are__________the shape of the boxfish to one of their new cars because it makes the car__________and more fuel efficient.

Velcro (威扣魔术贴) is probably the most famous__________of   biomimetics. Most people have some Velcro on an item of clothing. It was__________by the Swiss engineer George de Mestral in 1948. He was walking in the countryside when he pulled a burr (牛蒡芒刺) off his clothes. He noticed how well the burr__________his clothes so he studied its design. The__________was Velcro, which became an affordable__________for the traditional zipper(拉链).

In 1982 inventor Wilhelm Bartlott got a great idea studying the leaf of a lotus plant. He noticed that water always ran off the leaf. When he had a closer look, he discovered how this__________. Bartlott copied the leaf’s__________ surface and now you can find it in specialized paint products that don’t allow water and dirt to stick to them.

In conclusion, biomimetics not only has helped to__________our world but promises many more possibilities.

7 . The COVID-19 pandemic has changed many of our daily habits. These changes have developed to limit the spread of the pandemic. What habits or customs will remain after the pandemic ends?

Wearing face masks

    1    If you saw someone wearing a mask in public, you might think they were sick or even strange. Today, however, wearing a mask to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is common for many people.

Personal greetings

The custom of shaking another person’s hand is likely to become less common in the years to come.     2    

Cleanliness

One lasting effect could be that people pay more attention to cleanliness. Some good habits like frequent hand washing and cleaning surfaces are likely to stay.    3     Another good result is that people know more about the spread of some diseases.

Changes in public services

    4    This is especially true of public services such as restaurants and stores. There are fewer paper receipts(收据)to sign when shopping.

    5    

Another effect of the pandemic could be that more people will stay at home when sick. If people are not feeling well, they can simply work from home.

A．It could be one of good results from a bad situation.

B．You shouldn’t shake hands with others when you are sick.

C．A year ago, there was no tradition of mask-wearing in many countries.

D．People will choose to wave or use some other greetings.

E．Some services have had to make changes.

F．Wearing facial masks is a good habit for your health.

G．Staying at home when sick.

8 . Louis Bleriot was a French aviator (飞行员), inventor and engineer and had become very interested in flying aircraft while he was at school. He first decided to experiment with aircraft design, after seeing a flight show at the World Fair in Paris. For about eight years he experimented with several designs and escaped from two serious air crashes with relatively minor injuries.

In 1908, a British newspaper announced that it was offering £500 in prize money for the first person to make a flight across the English Channel, before the end of that year. When 1908 passed with no serious attempt to make the flight across the Channel, the prize money was doubled to £1,000 and the offer lengthened to the end of 1909.

On 25 July 1909, Bleriot decided to make his attempt. The distance of the flight was about 45 kilometres, his speed was around 70 kilometres an hour and he flew at a height of 45 to 90 metres. He did not take a compass for direction, but followed the ship Escopette, which guided him towards Dover (in England). During the flight visibility worsened and Bleriot later said, “For more than ten minutes I was alone and lost and couldn’t see anything.” Fortunately, the clouds lifted and he was able to land his aircraft near Dover Castle, on the cliffs (悬崖).The actual contact with land was very hard. In fact, not only was the aircraft’s propeller (螺旋桨) broken, but part of the framework which carried the engine was also damaged. However, these damages were small compared to the success of the flight. Bleriot had crossed the Channel, had won the £1,000 prize and had survived uninjured.

After his success, Bleriot began his own aviation (航空/飞机制造业) company and produced 900 aircraft in the next five years. In 1927, when Charles Lindbergh became the first person to fly across the Atlantic Ocean from the USA to France, Louis Bleriot was there to meet him at the airfield. They were surely two of the bravest men that ever flew an aircraft and they pioneered an industry.

1. What can be learned about Bleriot when he was at school?

A．He was interested in flying.	B．He made his first-ever flight.
C．He presented his design at the World Fair.	D．He was seriously injured in an air crash.

2. What can be inferred about Bleriot’s first cross-Channel flight?

A．It was smooth and memorable.	B．It was hair-raising but rewarding.
C．It was pleasant with good weather.	D．It was deadly with a broken compass.

3. How did the author develop the text?

A．By following space order	B．By following time order.
C．By making a comparison	D．By analyzing cause and effect.

4. What would be the best title for the text?

A．A flight around the world	B．The first person to fly an aircraft
C．A landmark in aviation history	D．The worst aviation accident in history

9 . As is known to all, pandas are a symbol of China. In fact, pandas are not only popular in China, but are loved around the world.

In 1972, China gave the United States the gift of two young pandas to help open up relations between the two countries. Pandas quickly became an important symbol of peace and friendship. By 1982,China had given 23 pandas to nine different countries. However, most of them died. China stopped giving away pandas in the early 1980s. Instead, the animals are loaned to other countries. In general, they are to be returned to China after 10 years.

Two giant pandas, “Da Mao” and “Er Shun”, returned to China from a Canadian zoo on Nov.29. On average, an adult panda eats about forty kilograms of bamboo every day. The zoo couldn’t meet the pandas’ needs because of the COVID-19 pandemic(流行病). In May, the zoo announced it would have to return the two animals four years earlier than planned in order that they could enjoy China’s rich supply of fresh bamboo instead.

Why do these lovely animals find it hard to survive in other countries? Their nutrition (营养) mostly comes from bamboo shoots. Sometimes pandas can also be quite careful about their food. They refuse to eat bamboo shoots after they have blossomed (开花). It takes ten years for a new crop of bamboo to mature (成熟), and many countries do not have an environment suitable for bamboo to grow in. This means that food has to be bought from China.

There is still much work to be done to protect the panda and its habitat. “We don’ t own the pandas, but the whole world wants to help save the panda, and we do that through exchanging information on how to look after them,” an American director of the National Zoo told China Daily.

3. Why do pandas find it hard to survive in other countries?

A．They eat too much bamboo.	B．Their eating habit is an important reason.
C．The COVID-19 pandemic stopped their bamboo supply.	D．Bamboo shoots have blossomed.
