Once upon a time in Ireland, there was a man called Patrick, who was very lazy．One day, as Patrick was lying under a tree, he saw a leprechaun with a pot of gold run past him! Patrick jumped up and ran after him．He eventually caught him but the leprechaun did not have the gold any more.
“▲” demanded Patrick．He held the leprechaun tightly because he knew that he would disappeare if he let him go.
The leprechaun told Patrick the gold was hidden at the end of a rainbow．He promised to take him there if Patrick would free him afterwards.
Now, as you know, rainbows are very big and disappear quickly, so it can be very difficult to find them．Patrick walked and walked．It is very common for leprechauns to make you walk around and around in circles until you get so exhausted that you give up.
As they walked, the leprechaun told Patrick humorous stories and funny jokes．He wanted to make Patrick laugh so much that he would not be able to hold onto him and would let him escape．Patrick, however, had no sense of humour and did not let the leprechaun go!
After fighting his way through bushes and trees, Patrick came to the end of the rainbow．It was beautiful．The sunlight was shining through a waterfall and Patrick was shocked by all of the colours．The leprechaun pointed to a small tree and said, “That’s where I’ve buried my pot of gold!” Patrick let him go and instantly he disappeared.
Then Patrick realized that he had no shovel (铲子) to dig for the gold．He did not know what to do．Then he had an idea．He tied his scarf around the small tree and went off to find a shovel.
Poor Patrick! When he returned, there were millions of trees with a scarf around each one!

Do you ever draw? Most of us don’t, and the reason why we usually leave drawing to artists is that we’re not very good at it．Who wants to do something they’re bad at? But maybe we should rethink this, especially since drawing has so many advantages (优点), whether we are artists or not.
“We have misunderstood the meaning of drawing because we see it as a professional (专业的) skill instead of a personal ability,” writes design historian D.B．Dowd in his book Stick Figure: Drawing as a Human Practice．“This has stunted our understanding of drawing and kept it from being seen as a tool for learning above all else.”
Dowd suggests we rethink the act of drawing．It’s just a life skill, not a measure of your essential self, or creativity．Just like writing a text to your friend is no big deal—certainly not the same as creating a poem—sketching (素描) should also be seen as a tool.
Here’s another example: You might enjoy eating at a famous restaurant that has a well-known cook, and you may also enjoy a great pasta dish you make at home．One doesn’t exclude (排斥) the other; you can enjoy a wonderful expensive meal as much as a homemade one—they’re just different.
The same is true for drawing．Besides, you don’t need special tools to draw．The paper could be from a notebook or just what’s sitting around waiting to be recycling．Don’t be afraid to put pen to paper, and you’ll get more out of the practice.
38．Which of the following is true according to D．B．Dowd?
A．It is a professional ability.B．It can encourage creativity.
C．It is similar to creating a poem.D．It can be seen as a life skill.
39．What does the underlined word “stunted” probably mean?
A．Changed.B．Prevented.C．Developed.D．Reminded. 40．What is the writing purpose of the last paragraph?
A．To introduce the steps of drawing.B．To describe the tools for drawing.
C．To express the easiness of drawing.D．To tell the importance of drawing.
41．What is the writer most likely to talk about next?
A．Stories of famous artists.B．Suggestions on how to draw well.
C．Ways to choose drawing tools.D．Advantages of taking up drawing.
D
①As the days are getting colder, you might wish you could magically turn into a bear and spend the winter sleeping．But don’t be to jealous (嫉妒的) of the bear, as scientists are looking for ways to let humans hibernate, too.
②Hibernate is a state where an animal’s heart rate, breathing and metabolism (新陈代谢) slow down．Then they can save energy during winter months to survive a shortage of food.
③Japanese researchers have found the secret behind hibernate—the “Q neurons”．These neurons in animals’ brains can put them into a hibernation state．The researchers also did surgeries (手术) on I mice after turning on the mice’s “Q neurons”．It turned out that during hibernation, the surgeries did less damage to the mice’s organs (器官).
④According to the team humans’ “Q neurons” cannot be turned on and off as easily as the mice’s．But
,
they are confident in copying the mice’s hibernation in humans．That means we could let people “hibernate” when having surgery, causing less damage to their bodies.
⑤In recent years, more scientists are waking up to the benefits of hibernation．For example, US scientist Katherine Grabek found that when the thirteen-lined ground squirrel hibernates, it cleans out harmful brain plaques (斑块) that are related to Alzheimer’s (阿尔兹海默症) in humans．The animal’s blood pressure also goes up and down greatly before and after hibernating．But it doesn’t suffer from any illness related to blood pressure.
⑥Grabek and her team found molecules (分子) from the squirrel that can protect against high blood pressure and heart disease．They hope to find more that may affect human health, and then design medicine.
⑦Some studies in bats and marmots showed that, during hibernation, their bodies age more slowly．This also provides new ideas for making humans live longer in the future, according to New Scientist magazine. 42．What have Japanese researchers found according to the passage?
A．Humans don’t have “Q neurons” as mice do.
B．The mice’s hibernation can be easily copied in humans.
C．Doing surgeries during hibernation doesn’t do any harm to organs.
D．It is harder to turn on humans’ “Q neurons” than to turn on the mice’s.
43．What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A．Eating squirrels helps with high blood pressure.
B．People may hibernate to slow down aging some day.
C．Hibernation is a treatment for many serious diseases.
D．People can hibernate whenever they like in the future.
44．Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage?
A．B．C．D．
45．What can be the best title for the passage?
A．Sleeping through winter B．The benefits of hibernation
C．The “Q neurons” in brains D．Differences between humans and animals

请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。

Run-down buildings, rotted doors, rusty (生锈的) machines..．this is how you might picture an old industrial site．But many of them now have a new look in China.
Shougang Industrial Park in Shijingshan district of Beijing is now a famous and popular culture and sports site．However, it used to be a steel mill that was built in 1919．It once housed 60,000 workers and made more than 10 million tons of iron and steel．To protect the environment, however, the mill slowly reduced its production from 2005 until it closed in 2010.
With the government’s support, the old mill has been reborn．Cafes, bookstores, hotels, and offices now fill Shougang’s warehouses and blast furnaces (高炉)．Self-driving cars move around the place for testing．And during the 2022 Winter Games, Olympic athletes flew down the Big Air Ramp, which is now in front of Shougang’s former (之前的) cooling towers.
Xu Zhaolin, from Beijing, visits the industrial park a lot．“It’s hard to imagine that the park was a steel mill in the past,” said the 24-year-old．“It feels like you’ve come into a sci-fi game．The photos I took there look like cyberpunk (赛博朋克)!”
Like Shougang Industrial Park, in recent years, many old factories and mills have been turned into cultural and tourist sites．For example, the World of Tsingtao is a beer museum inside the old factory of the Tsingtao Brewery (啤酒厂), one of China’s largest breweries．The museum has brought people closer to the
long history of the brewery ．Today, China is home to 194 national-level industrial heritage (遗产) sites.
Old factories and workshops across the country are like a book on the history of Chinese manufacturing (制造业)．Giving new life to them through protection and development is important for driving cities’ innovation and development, noted People’s Daily .
