Instead of being addicted to smartphones and games,Zhang Yixuan prefers to spend his summer vacation walking in nature,meeting with little creatures like shrimps(虾)and crabs(蟹).
The17-year-old boy went viral(走红)on Sina Weibo recently for his knowledge of biology,which led him to discover a new species of freshwater crabs of Sinolapotamon in2022.
Zhang’s father,who was born in a rural area,loved catching fish and crabs himself at an early age,so Zhang was always taken outdoors by his parents to explore as much as possible and observe little creatures quietly without being interrupted.Now a grade12student at Yulin High School,Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region,Zhang has dozens of“living treasures”that he has collected from the outdoors,including insects,fish,shrimps and crabs.
“This one is a species of Nanhaipotamon that I caught in a mountainous area,”said Zhang,pointing to a bright-colored crab moving its amusing eyes around.“You can see it just shed its shell.”There is also a row of empty bottles and jars in Zhang’s room to store his specimens(标本).“I can notice the small differences between two shrimps,and then I take them back to my room for further observation,”said Zhang.
It is the microscope his father bought him that makes the bedroom look more like a mini biology lab than anything else.It’s a place where Zhang can devote himself to identifying or observing the specimens of shrimps and crabs day and night.With the help of his microscope,Zhang concentrates on exploring the natural world.Sometimes he spends hours simply examining a piece of fish scale,the leg of a crab or the antenna of an insect.He often works so late that his parents have to force him to go to bed.
“I’m often amazed by what I see while placing these tiny and fragile things under the microscope.No matter how unimportant an insect is,each life is so delicately and uniquely organized,”said Zhang.
49.What made Zhang popular on Sina Weibo?
A.His meeting with shrimps and crabs.
B.His videos of outdoor adventures.
C.His discovery of a new type of crab.
D.His collection of“living treasures”.
50.What inspired Zhang’s interest in exploring nature?
A.His father’s early job.
B.A crab he once caught.
C.His school’s field trips.
D.His childhood experiences.
51.What does paragraph5mainly talk about?
A.Zhang’s tools for observations.
B.Zhang’s achievements in biology.
C.Zhang’s mini biology lab at home.
D.Zhang’s addiction to his specimens.
52.Which of the following best describes Zhang?

“Have a nice day!”may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression.When my friend Maxie says“Have a nice day”with a smile,I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me.I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.
“Have a nice day.Next!”This version of expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door.The words come out in the same tone(腔调)with a fixed procedure.They are spoken at me,not to me.Obviously,the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase the business.
The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other.Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting.As soon as you hear it,you know the meeting is at an end.Sometimes the expression serves us when we don’t know what to say.“Oh,you just had a tooth out?I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”
The expression can be pleasant.If a stranger says“Have a nice day”to you,you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.
Although the use of the expression is an insincere,meaningless social custom at times,there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting.The salesgirl,the waitress,the teacher,and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day.But in a strange and comfortable way,it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much.While the expression may not often be sincere,it is always spoken.The point is that people say it all the time when they like.
53.How does the author understand Maxie’s words?
A.Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.
B.Maxie really wishes the author a good day.
C.Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.
D.Maxie really worries about the author’s security.
54.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph2mean?
A.The salesgirl is polite.
B.The salesgirl says the words as a routine.
C.The salesgirl cares about me.
D.The salesgirl is bored.
55.By saying“Have a nice day,”a stranger may______.
A.try to be friendly to you
B.express respect to you
C.give his blessing to you
D.share his pleasure with you
56.Which the following can best summarize the main idea of the passage?
A.“Have a nice day”is a social custom.
B.“Have a nice day”means a polite ending of a conversation.
C.“Have a nice day”is a heart-warming greeting.
D.“Have a nice day”is a pleasant gesture.
D
A recent study from psychologist Sarah Kucker at Oklahoma State University suggests shyness can influence a child’s performance in language tests,depending on the level of social interaction(互动交流) required to complete the test.
Shy children tend to keep quiet in everyday life,including communicating with others.The study points out that the behavior can make judging a child’s language abilities more challenging since shy children find it harder to verbally engage with testers(that’s when children are required to speak out)than during less socially demanding tests.
The research by Sarah Kucker was published in the Journal of Speech,Language,and Hearing Research,and involved122children between the ages of17and42months.Each child underwent a series of three language tasks that required different levels of social interaction:a looking task,a pointing task, and a verbal task.In each,the children were asked to find a known object from a set of pictures.Parents reported their child’s shyness in an early childhood behavior survey.
The results showed significant differences in children’s performance across the tasks depending on shyness.Shyer children did worse in the verbal task than the less-shy children of the same age.However, all children performed well in the pointing task independent of their shyness level.The looking task produced more complicated results,meaning that shyer children were occasionally more accurate(精确的) but less likely to respond.
“A child’s shyness could strongly impact how they will behave in language tasks,”said Kucker.“When children are given language ability tests,testers should take into account the child’s shyness level, perhaps using tasks that are less socially demanding for them,such as pointing tasks instead of verbal ones.”
Kucker believes recognizing the impact of shyness will help to ensure language tests are more effective and provide a better understanding of a child’s language development.
57.What does the underlined word“verbally”in paragraph2probably mean?
A.In written forms.
B.With chosen pictures.
C.In spoken words.
D.With hand gestures.
58.What do we know about the research according to the text?
A.The children took one of three language tests.
B.The children were asked to speak in each test.
C.Shyer children did worse in most of the tests.
D.Shyer children did well in less interactive tests.
59.Which of the following may Kucker agree with?
nguage test results are sometimes not accurate.
B.The level of language tests is too high.
C.The child’s shyness level is to be tested.
D.It’s unnecessary to take a language test.
60.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A.Shyness Slows Down Children’s Language Development
B.New Study Suggests Language Tests Should Be Changed
C.Children Find it Challenging to Communicate with Testers
D.Shyness Impacts Children’s Performance in Language Tests

The traditional Chinese solar calendar divides the year into24solar terms.Minor Snow,the20th solar term of the year,begins this year on Nov22and ends on Dec6.61.Here are several things you should know about Minor Snow.
Wearing hats and scarves
In China,starting in Minor Snow,the wind blows from the northeast a lot.62But in fact, according to an old Chinese saying,“the head is the place where all passages of the body gather.”It’s sensible to keep one’s head warm.
Drinking soup
During Minor Snow,indoor heating begins to work.63.According to practices in traditional Chinese medicine,this accumulation of“inner heat”in one’s body can cause physical problems.The solution is to drink more hot soup,such as cabbage and bean curd soup.
Making preserved pork and pickled(腌制的)vegetables
After Minor Snow,the temperature declines sharply and the air becomes dry.64.In the past, due to the poor storage conditions and inconvenient transportation,people developed many ways to store pork and vegetables.Thus during the Chinese Spring Festival and even in the bitter winter,the whole family could enjoy them.
Avoiding spicy food
65.Spicy food,therefore,is one of the best choices.However,experts say it’s wise not to eat overly spicy food,since that will increase your inner heat.
A.Then people need drink soup to keep healthy.
B.It is the best time to start making the salted food.
C.So many people prefer to put on their hats and scarves.
D.On cold dry days,people may need some hot food to keep warm.
E.The air indoors is dry and most people might find their nose and mouth dry,too.
F.It refers to the time when it starts to snow and the temperature continues to drop.
G.Because it’s still not bitterly cold,many people do not wear things to keep warm in time.
