Squirrels(松鼠) are cute and interesting animals that can be found in many parts of the world. They are known for their long tails, big teeth, and the ability to climb trees.

They can jump up to 6 meters in height, and they can run up to 32 kilometers every hour.

Squirrels have soft bodies. Their eyes are high on their small heads and a replaced on each side so they can see wide and far without having to turn around. This often helps them get out of danger.

Squirrels have four big teeth in the front of their mouth that keep growing all through their lives. They are known for their love of nuts(坚果), and they can eat as much food as their body weight each week. They will often keep nuts in the ground for the long winter months. Many people think that squirrels only eat nuts, but this isn’t true. They also like to eat plants, fruits, eggs, small animals and even young snakes.

The Chinese pingfeng (folding screen) is an ancient invention and traditional Chinese furniture (家具). Its earliest common use dates from the Han Dynasty. The term pingfeng means protection from wind, showing its purpose at the very beginning.

As time passes, it has been made into different sizes with colourful paintings. On screens usually appears a dragon. It’s a symbol of light, growth and life-giving water. It also stands for nobility and power. The peacock, a beautiful bird, can be seen on screens, too. It’s a symbol of everlasting life. Beautiful flowers, which mean wealth and good luck, are also chosen as a popular design of the pingfeng. All the designs carry people’s beautiful wishes.

Behind the pingfeng lies an interesting story. In the past the unmarried daughter of a rich family was not supposed to see or be seen by men except her father, brothers or very close male cousins. When an admirer paid a visit however, she might take a secret look at him from a screen behind which she would be completely hidden. Her father would discuss poems with the young man and ask him to create one. If the daughter and her father were satisfied with the young man’s poem and his looks, she might agree to take him as a husband.

Today the pingfeng is back in fashion for its beauty and its practical (实际的) use as furniture. Acting as a moving wall or divider, it can be the perfect match (相配) for modern sofas and walls, which adds style to them.

The pingfeng is more than beautiful furniture.

28. What was the pingfeng used for at the very beginning?

A．Protecting people from wind.	B．Dividing a room.
C．Making a room beautiful.	D．Hiding a person.

29. Which design is a symbol of wealth and good luck?

C．The water.

D．The flowers.

30. How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 2?

D．The Hidden Beauty of the Pingfeng

Prince Caspian’s parents died. He lived with his uncle, Miraz, the King of Narnia and his aunt. Though he had wonderful toys, he liked best the last hour of the day when the toys had all been put away and Nurse would tell him stories.

He didn’t care much for his uncle and aunt, but about twice a week his uncle would ask him to come and have a walk together.

One day, while they were doing this, the King said, “Well, boy, we must soon teach you to ride and use a sword. You know we have no children, so it looks as if you might have to be King when I’m gone. How shall you like that, eh?”

“I don’t know, Uncle,” said Caspian. “What do you wish?” asked the King. “I wish-I wish—I wish I could have lived in the Old Days,” said Caspian.

Up till now the King had been talking in a tiresome way, which made it quite clear that he wasn’t really interested in what they were saying, but he suddenly gave Caspian a sharp(锐利的) look.

“Eh? What’s that?” he said. “What old days?”

“Oh, don’t you know, Uncle?” said Caspian. “Once there was a White Witch(女巫) and she made herself Queen of the whole country. And she made it so that it was always winter. And then two boys and two girls came from somewhere and killed the Witch and they were made Kings and Queens of Narnia. And so they ruled for a long time and everyone had a lovely time, and it was all because of Aslan.”

“Who’s she?” said the King. If Caspian had been a little older, the tone(语气) of his uncle’s voice would have warned him it would be wiser to shut up. But he talked on...

32. What was Caspian’s favourite hour during a day?

A．When he played with wonderful toys.

B．When his uncle had a walk with him.

C．When he learned to ride a horse.

D．When Nurse told him stories.

C．Funny.

D．Wrong.

34. What can we infer from the passage?

B．Caspian wasn’t satisfied with his present life.

C．Caspian thought this uncle was a great king.

D．Caspian had an enjoyable walk with his uncle.

Diagram(图表) or Survey Result

①AI (artificial intelligence人工智能) and machine learning refer to the ability of machines to learn and act intelligently. It means they can make decisions, finish tasks, and even tell the possible future results based on what they learn from data(数据).

②AI and machine learning already play a bigger role in everyday life than you might imagine. Health care, banking, video games, every search on the Internet you make..., all are driven by AI.

③AI is going to change almost every field of modern life. Stephen Hawking said, “Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history.” And Hawking added at once, “Unluckily, it might also be the last, unless we learn how to avoid the risks.”

④ ▲ , especially when you consider some countries are racing to develop AI-enabled autonomous weapons(人工智能自主武器). It is also going to change and take the place of many human jobs. The same worries also come from the public. According to the survey result from Centre for the Governance of AI, 91% of the people (tend to and totally) agree that “AI is a technology that requires careful management” in Europe.

⑤But rather than agreeing with an idea of a helpless future where all human jobs are given over to robots, some people believe AI will make on working lives better. It will improve the work of humans, and new jobs will appear to take the place of the old ones.

⑥What’s more, machines become more intelligent and they are able to finish more human tasks. Things which only belong to humans lie creativity and critical(批判性的) thinking, will become even more valuable in the future.

⑦Like it or not, AI is here. Maybe changing ourselves and managing it well are the best way out. Just as Benjamin Franklin once said, “When you’re finished changing, you’re finished.”

36. Which paragraph does the diagram mainly support?

A．②

B．③

C．④

D．⑤

37. Which sentence can be put in the ▲ ?

A．As we know, there are possible huge risks for society and human life

B．Also, you can find AI serving our daily life in every possible field

C．Without doubt, AI is a fantastic technology to lead us into the future

D．Humans ate surely more creative and better at many things than AI

①A Teacher’s Diary April 14 I put Sharla, Tony, and Lee together to make a volcano(火山). I knew they weren’t good friends, and I encouraged all my students to learn to work together. Something blew up! One looked mad, one looked sad, and one was nearly in tears. They didn’t agree with each other. Oh, dear! I calmed them down. But they couldn’t agree on even the base for the volcano, and Tony didn’t want to touch the paste(浆糊). I wondered if I had made a big mistake. Maybe this was one group who couldn’t work together.

②A Student’s Diary April 16 Yesterday, Mrs. Holt made us stay behind so we could finish planning our volcano. Anyway, we finally moved ahead with our project. I was making my side smooth. Tony just watched (unfair). I told Lee to smooth out her side, too. “No, Sharla, it should look like a real mountain,” she said just as if she were the boss. The whole thing went downhill. The day ended with no progress.

③The Show Time The last workday for the project came. “Is there a problem?” Mrs. Holt knew well there was a problem. She wanted them to put it in their own words, though. “Well, I think the volcano should be smooth.” Sharla began. “And,” jumped in Lee, “it should look rocky, like a real mountain.” “I see. What do you think, Tony?” Mrs. Holt waited. “Well, I think it would have lava(岩浆) running down.” “Hey, a great idea!” cut in Sharla, “The lava would be smooth. Right Mrs. Holt?” Sharla continued. “The other side without lava would look rocky. Right?” Tony caught on. “So one side can be smooth, and the other rocky. Come on, you guys, let’s go finish!” It was the show time.________
